    It's May in Bianliang, and the mood of summer is already floating around. The Bianliang water is dark green and the willows are lingering.  The rain has gradually increased, and often after a rain, the city of Bianliang is washed clean, like a shining gem.  After Xiao Yan took the imperial chariot to the expedition, the huge shadow that had shrouded Bianliang City in the past six months seemed to have gone away.  It must be said that the recovery ability of this huge city is amazing, and the scars left by the two palace changes have not been completely eliminated.  The market became lively again.  Scholars and ladies in thin spring clothes began to bustle in the streets and alleys again, and in front of the famous Wase Gate in Bianliang, the scene of red sleeves and red sleeves full of buildings began to appear again.  As for the war that is breaking out in the north, it seems to be a very distant thing to the people in Bianliang.  Since the King of Yan has all the power in his hands, he will be the one to deal with these wars and dangers.  Since he is not in Bianliang, this city should finally enjoy a peaceful life, right?  For most people in Bianliang, life has been a bit miserable for the past six months or so, with one panic after another.  Although Xiao Yan is currently marching to the north, the people in Bianliang are even less interested in discussing the government situation than usual, and they are just enjoying the peaceful life in the city again.  The bloody battle in Hedong, the fall of Yandi, and the warning in Hebei are all things far away.  No matter what kind of war, it will never reach the sacred capital of Bianliang!  ??But for ¡Ë³¤·ç¡Ë¡Ëliterature¡Ëww¨‹¡á¡Ôet, for those who are interested in the court, they always stare at every move in the north.  It turns out that the ruling system of the Song Dynasty has suffered repeated blows in the recent changes, and its status is also shaky.  I had to temporarily crouch.  But it is always hidden in the darkness.  Waiting for the opportunity to turn around in one fell swoop.  No matter how much pain this opportunity will bring to the Song Dynasty, they just want to take back everything they have!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fan Lou  Above, in an elegant room, several scribes in blue shirts were sitting.  This elegant room is decorated with separate tables. There are good fish meats and fruits on the tables in front of each scribe, but they are not moved.  The bustle of the city outside could not be heard coming in, but it was like in the past.  In such weather, there is a high gathering in Fanlou. It is the right time for the prostitutes to open their windows and let the wind flow, drinking and singing at the same time. This is the magical day that Bianliang City should have.  But at this moment, the windows of this elegant room were closed tightly, and the sunlight was projected in through the window lattice, casting deep and shallow shadows on the faces of these scribes, and the expressions on each of them.  All very serious.  None of the people here are powerful figures on the stage.  Some people originally had official positions, but they were implicated in the events of the past few days and their birth certificates were seized, and they still stayed in Bianliang to plan for the future.  Some people are the advisors and confidants of a certain prince, and they have always been on the staff and have never served in official positions.  Some of them were people from other towns who had recently been sent to the capital.  All in all, they are all representatives of the various forces currently under Xiao Yan's lustful power.  The princes in power are being watched closely by Fang Teng, who is now in charge of Bianliang.  These secret meetings and discussions can only be carried out by these humble representatives.  In fact, the Bianliang princes are not concerned about the current situation in Hedong and Hebei. They are just carefully calculating how much Xiao Yan's strength has been consumed.  And the news that shocked them the most was that Wu Min, the former prime minister, was beheaded and his head was hung in Taiyuan!  The Song Dynasty claimed that the king and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, and they would not kill the scholar-bureaucrats according to the instructions of their ancestors.  To be honest, this scholar-bureaucrat actually refers to the literati and important ministers who have reached the level of attendant or above.  Once you reach this status, you are the ruling class that can truly discuss national affairs and have privileges. No matter what, you can at least enjoy wealth and status safely.  And no one can threaten the wealth and life of this privileged ruling class, nor can anyone try to bypass them in exercising the power of the country.  Although Xiao Yan used two palace changes to shake up the ruling system.  But this privileged ruling class is still trying its best to maintain their bottom line.  Needless to say, during the last palace coup, Geng Nanzhong and others died in the rebellion.  Cai Jing and others were sentenced to death in prison, but they are still living well now.  Xiao Yan did not immediately take him to the execution ground. If the situation changes, maybe a pardon will come out.  But now, Xiao Yan actually killed Wu Min for abandoning the city and fleeing!  What military and national affairs are important, what battles determine the fate of the country, how many soldiers risk their lives to save the crisis of Wu Min's escape.  None of this was of concern to the scholar-bureaucrats. They only knew that this had broken their bottom line!  If Wu Min is killed, they will be killed in the future, and the power of the scholar-bureaucrats to dominate the country, and the privileges of being able to retire and enjoy leisurely leisurely in the woods no matter how they corrupt the state affairs, are gone forever.  With the current plan, Xiao Yan cannot be allowed to come back safely again under any circumstances.?Bianliang must use all means to expose Xiao Yan! ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The war is in chaos now, even though these figures often get together to discuss, and the conversation is just to exchange some intelligence information, and the conclusion they draw each time is just to try their best to win over all parties and continue to wait and see.  "According to frontline military information, Nan Laizi has intercepted the Jurchen Tatars at Loufan. Now the Divine Guards should have rushed to Taiyuan and are setting up a posture to confront the Jurchen army. These Jurchen Tatars also  If you really don't have the ability, where has the majesty of Mie Liao gone? Even a small person can't rush through it! If he can capture Nan Laizi in Taiyuan, even if he gives the land of Hedong to Jurchen,  "What can I do?" "In Hebei, the power of the Daming Mansion has been completely taken over by Ma Zichong. This son was favored by the Supreme Lord and once led the Yongning Army to return to Bianliang. Now he is under the leadership of Nan Laizi.  Daming Mansion is in sole control, but I don¡¯t know if we can contact him to win over him.¡±  If you can hit him on the back, it will be a big deal if Nanlaizi is defeated." "I have contacted Xiaozhong several times for this matter.  Qin Feng's position. However, Xiao Zhong is still waiting to see if Nan Laizi will send an imperial edict. I don't know how Xiao Zhong will react.  Are you in Bianliang? While you are working to see if you can bring your father back to Huanqing, you are also contacting the princes of Dongfu to ask for help. Is there anything Liu Guang can promise?  This is an important matter, why do we say it now? Liu Guang must be firmly grasped! Let him not have to listen to Xiaozhong's orders! If it comes in handy in the Hedong battle,  In the end, Nan Laizi was exposed, so what if Xiaozhong was given the status he had promised? Now we must find a way to get Liu Yanqing to end his management and return to Huanqing!  If Zhong knew it, wouldn't it offend him severely? " " Xiao Zhong doesn't have the prestige and ability of Lao Zhong. If the people under his command are disengaged, he can only stay within our limits!  We still need to keep in touch with the clan, but we have to be careful not to let Yan Yi Fang Teng smell anything out. This son is really a scum of the scholar-officials, and he will die without a burial place in the future!  It would be better to be more aggressive. Can we find someone to contact the Jurchens? Can we still go to the Sea Alliance? What if we give the Yanyun Sixteen States to the Jurchens?  It¡¯s a gift of two million silver silk to the Liao people, or four million to the Jurchens! How can these Haidong barbarians not be satisfied with their shallow eyes and wealth?¡± This secret meeting lasted only an hour or two.  stop.  After exchanging enough information, these people cautiously left one after another.  Only the person who was in charge of convening this group of people for discussion was left in this elegant room, silently raising his cup and taking a sip of the drink.  The person in charge, whose surname is Qin and whose name is Hui, is nearly forty years old this year, but he is well maintained, as if he is in his early thirties.  The appearance is very elegant, and it looks like there is a sense of ease.  He was from a very mediocre background, and his father's highest official position was only the magistrate of a lower county.  Before becoming an official, his family was in decline, and Qin Hui even worked as a private school teacher to survive.  With such a background, once you get Jinshi, you will naturally work hard to become an official and desperately want to climb up.  But without the support of his ancestors, when Xiao Yannan returned to Bianliang, Qin Hui was just a member of the Ministry of War.  In the capital, for people like this who have no background and are not very young, their future can only end here.  Xiao Yan gradually rose to prominence, and Qin Hui saw it.  For people like him, with Xiao Yan's status, he was already someone he could rely on.  Otherwise, at this age, where would you make your debut?  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A person like him who is not valued by others was not involved. He is still an old subordinate of Bai Shizhong who is now sitting in the position of independent prime minister.  He followed Bai Shizhong's path and wanted to advance to the next level after the absence of the imperial court. Bai Shizhong guaranteed him to be the imperial censor and Zuo Sijian.  But since the second palace change, Fang Teng has intervened in Dongfu.  All the personnel appointments that originally belonged to Dongfu were transferred to Xiao Yan for Fang Teng to review.  However, Xiao Yan never interferes in this regard.  But it happened that Qin Hui's appointment came to Xiao Yan.  However, Yan Wang Xiao Yan intervened brazenly, and Qin Hui not only could not go further, but also gave him the name of Cai Jing's party, implicated him in chaos, chased him for his writings since his birth, and sent him to work in other states.  Xiao Yan is indeed a little motivated here, but for people who have received a normal education, when they suddenly see the name Qin Hui, no matter whether he did such evil deeds later, no matter whether Qin Hui did it for Zhao GouIsn't it strange that after taking the blame, you can act out of impulse?  Moreover, given Xiao Yan's power and position at this time, everyone in the whole family was killing people, so what does it mean to belittle a moderate official?  For Xiao Yan, pinching his nose and using Zhang Bangchang is already the limit.  If I reuse this Qin Hui againwhy can't I be willful?  Do you have to think ahead and think carefully about everything?  How could Qin Hui expect such a sudden disaster?  Fortunately, Xiao Yan quickly left for the Hedong expedition with his imperial chariot. Even Fang Teng couldn't care whether people like Qin Hui left the capital as scheduled to organize and manage.  At this time, Bai Shizhong also extended a hand for Qin Hui, who was inexplicably affected.  He was closely included in the scene.  At this moment, Bai Shizhong's position is also very embarrassing. Not to mention Fang Teng taking power in Dongfu, even Zhang Bangchang, who sold himself to Xiao Yan, is also running around, intending to replace him.  In order to consolidate his power, Bai Shizhong was greatly shocked by the news of Wu Min's death.  Even though he has never been a traitor like Cai Jing.  We also have to make backup preparations.  Qin Hui's sect had little involvement with him in name.  He is also alert and agile.  Bai Shizhong was kind enough to save him.  Let Qin Hui run around secretly in the capital, contact and inquire around, and be prepared to retreat when the time comes.  But at this moment, Qin Hui already knew that if Xiao Yan continued to be in power, he would have no way forward.  Bai Shizhong was ordered to listen more and talk less, just collecting information from all aspects.  Unexpectedly, Qin Hui worked extremely hard in private, and he clearly regarded himself as the person in charge!  Anyone who commits great evil is naturally also a very capable person.  After Xiao Yan left Bianliang.  In this undercurrent.  Qin Hui contacted all parties, inquired about the military situation of all parties, and agreed on the steps, and he did it in an orderly manner!  And after contacting everyone in private, he gradually came to be regarded as the mastermind!  After taking a sip of the drink, Qin Hui stroked his already hot forehead.  In Hedong and Hebei, the fighting has become more and more intense.  Xiao Yan must have thought extremely hard to barely hold on to this battle.  Under such pressure, he will eventually show his flaws!  If you draw your sword at that time, you might be able to give this Nanlaizi force a fatal blow!  Once you can succeed.  What kind of great achievement will it be for him?  In the future, it will be Cai Jing¡¯s position back then.  This is also to be expected!  I just hate that the Jurchen army and horses are still not strong enough to destroy the power of Liao Dynasty, and they seem to be at a loss in front of Xiao Yan.  In the two battlefields of Hebei and Hedong, there has been no news of the collapse of Xiao Yan's troops!  Moreover, when Xiao Yan's defeat was revealed, he suddenly started something behind his back. Although Qin Hui was sure to take control of Bai Shizhong, who was actually useless, Bai Shizhong, who did not have enough reputation or ability, even though he had the phase, he was afraid that  It won't be of much use either.  Qin Hui also privately inquired about the attitude of Li Gang, a gentleman from Liangxi who was currently living in the capital, but such attempts were rejected by Li Gang.  You must have enough reputationbut the members of the clan are closely watched by Fang Teng.  Not to mention contacting you, even if you get even slightly closer, the Huangcheng Division's thugs will stick to you.  Fang Teng controls all aspects of Bianliang, and in addition to being in charge of the transfer front line, it is absolutely impossible for Fang Teng to control all situations at his fingertips.  So Fang Teng grasped both ends. One was to control the remaining military power in Bianliang. With the army and horses in hand, nothing big would happen.  One of them is to keep an eye on the Zhao family clan. If anyone dares to contact the clan, under such a situation, even though Fang Teng is a scholar, he will cut off his head without mercy!  What should we do?  Is it really necessary to take risks?  No, now is not the time.  Although at this moment, relying on Bai Shizhong's banner, he was running around to communicate with each other, and he was like a fish in water.  But when there is a real emergency, cowardly people like Bai Shizhong will never do anything.  We must wait until the war situation in Hedong and Hebei under Xiao Yan's control is in crisis!  Qin Hui stood up excitedly and wanted to open the window and look north.  I don¡¯t believe it. In such a situation of internal and external embarrassment, you, Xiao Yan, can sustain two battles alone!  Maybe a turning point will come soon! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? were secretly communicating with each other, even though they couldn¡¯t get on the stage.  But Qin Hui also felt the sweetness of controlling the current situation of the Song Dynasty from behind for the first time.  Although it is just a group of people preparing secretly at the moment, Qin Hui believes that he will soon step onto the stage with pride!  And Qin Hui will never give up this sweet feeling!  This seems to be determined by the Qi number in the dark!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~ From the middle of Wanshan Mountain in the east of Hedong, a group of sentry riders marched westward.  After the Jurchen army moved south, its attack towards the west came to an abrupt end after Lou Fan was defeated.  The front line of troops stopped at the line from Honggu Village to Yifang, blocking the two Lanshui River valleys and making no further moves.    Xiao Yan adjusted his deployment in Taiyuan, concentrated his army, and prepared for attack.  The front of the Jurchen army suddenly stopped, so naturally they had to send out sentries from a distance to find out their movements.  Xiao Yan was not afraid of the Jurchens and gathered heavy troops in the Lanshui River Valley, intending to march eastward to Taiyuan to fight him decisively.  On the contrary, what they were afraid of was that Zong Han's troops would plunder westward in order to establish a long-term entrenchment.  Because the enemies Xiao Yan faced were not just the West Route Army.  There is also the Zongwang army that surges south from Youyan!  When the front of the Jurchen West Route Army came to a standstill, a large number of sentinels and cavalry were searching for gaps in the mountains to the west to inquire about the movements of Zong Han's troops.  This team of sentry riders sent from Han Shizhong's headquarters in Kugu Village is just one of them.  The so-called sentry cavalry actually has no use for horses anymore. The whole journey is over the mountains.  Bypassed the Honggu military camp from the south.  When looking from a distance, we found that the Honggu Army Stronghold was already being built in a hurry for the Jurchen Army and Horses. A large number of civilians gathered together to renovate the originally abandoned Xiaozhai Fort, together with the Jurchen Auxiliary Army.  Build a solid defense system here.  Such a defense system is not enough. Along the Lanshui River Valley, new military strongholds are being built.  In this way, a sufficiently deep defense system was formed.  Even if Han Shizhong leads an army from east to west and desperately captures Honggu Village, there is still a long line of defense in front!  Even though the defensive capabilities of the Jurchen army and horses are not as strong as their field battles, they can continue to fight layer by layer.  After fighting out of the Lanshui River Valley, we still don¡¯t know how long it will take and how many lives will be taken in!  The sight of the Jurchens changing their temper and starting to defend themselves already made the sentries feel bad.  After the sentries worked their way out of the mountains to the south of the Lanshui River Valley and encountered scattered refugees, more ominous news came.  The Jurchen West Route Army, in addition to leaving a garrison in the east and setting up deep ditches and high fortresses in preparation, the large group of troops has turned to the west!  The military information that teams of sentinels and cavalry worked desperately for could not help but come back. Ever since Xiao Yan, everyone knew that the situation in Hedong was no longer completely controlled by their own troops and horses.  If you want to deal with the Jurchen East Route Army as soon as possible, you must have Xiao Zhong lead the main force of the Western Army to overwhelm them.  The Hewai Army and Liu Guangshi's Army must be cautious and refrain from fighting, and limit the scope of activities of the Jurchen West Route Army as much as possible.  On the other side, Xiao Yan's army defeated the Jurchen army and horse defense one after another. The army came out of the Lanshui River Valley, and then marched east to west with Xiaozhong's Western Army to attack Zong Han's troops!  "But even though King Qin's edict has been issued, Xiao Yan has another sincere letter and Xiao Zhong. Will Xiao Zhong cooperate with Xiao Yan?  Moreover, how will the Zhejia Hewai Army and Liu Guangshi's Yanyan Army behave?  The war situation in Hedong, which had been somewhat calm since the Loufan war, suddenly became turbulent again!  (To be continued) PS: I am still suffering from a severe cold and my condition is extremely poor.  I also ask the reader Zhujun Haihan.  I really hope I will get better soon
