Zhou Fashang couldn't help but want to curse people. Can this matter be mixed? It is good to be mixed, but it is not good to be mixed, but it is not good to be buried. But the key is that it is not good to be mixed, because this storm is very likely to evolve from a military coup to a war of imperial unity. When the father and son fight each other, even if the Holy Lord wins, it will be a tragic victory. There is a deep pain and deep hatred, and there will be no right or wrong in revenge under the loss of reason. There is only catharsis. Whoever you catch or kill, as long as you are related to this storm, you may be in a different place.

However, the interests of the people of Jiangzuo and the Holy Lord are too close. They both lose and prosper. When facing the Dongdu crisis, they cannot ignore it. When facing the possible outbreak of the imperial unity war, they cannot ignore it. For the sake of the Holy Lord, they must find ways to resolve the crisis. More importantly, they must do their best to prevent the outbreak of the imperial unity war, and at all costs, control the storm at the level of a military coup, and minimize the damage to the Dongdu and the country's destiny.

Therefore, Zhou Fa still had no choice but to take on the heavy responsibility of suppressing rebellions. Suppressing rebellions is secondary, and regaining Liyang and opening up the Grand Canal is secondary. The only important thing is to prevent the King of Qi from entering the capital and do his best to prevent or delay the outbreak of the imperial unity war.

Zhou Fashang smiled bitterly and shook his head, replacing his reply with silence. As a military commander who is trusted and respected by the Holy Lord, in a critical moment, he must share the worries and problems for the Holy Lord, and come to Hu'er to lead his army across the sea to fight the rebellion. In fact, it is to help the Holy Lord win the victory of the Second Eastern Expedition, but the division of labor is different, so he can't find any reason to refuse.

The decision was decided like this. Although the three of them had their own thoughts, they were both tacit and they had to make decisions when they should. If they were to be entangled, it would be of no use and would be of no benefit to everyone.

Cui Junsu left first. He wanted to draft a memorial, assemble the army, allocate warships and food and supplies, and also send messages to Hebei. There were too many things to do, and he knew that he would definitely have to discuss some private matters and not waste other people's time.

Zhou Fashang did ask for private matters to come to protect the other person, "Can the Holy Lord have an emergency plan?"

The Holy Lord certainly has emergency measures, but they are all things that are "paper talks". They are generally preventive measures, and it is difficult to have targeted measures. For example, it is also a military coup, and different people rebelled in different places. The impact and results of different people causing different rebellions are different. In addition, the situation is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to make effective targeted measures in advance. It can only be targeted prevention, such as ensuring the safety of the Dongdu and the Gyeonggi and ensuring the safety of the Grand Canal. Others are difficult to take into account. Only one step can be taken and deal with the moves. Zhou Fashang certainly did not expect the Holy Lord to have the ability to predict the future, but the risk of the Second Eastern Expedition is too great. The Holy Lord and the Central Committee should have predicted the deterioration of the domestic situation and should have made careful precautions. Lai Huer participated in the discussion and decision-making of the Second Eastern Expedition. He should know some relevant secrets.

Lai Hu'er did not hide it and told him bluntly, "Before the Holy Lord went north to Liaodong, he had a brief stay in Zhuo County. During this period, Chen Ling, the general of Wu Ben, was appointed to assist Duan Da in staying in Zhuo County.

Zhou Fashang understood the truth. Chen Len was from Jiangzuo, an old general under Lai Hu'er. During the first Eastern Expedition, he led the Imperial Guards and the Guards, who were fully responsible for the security of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. After the defeat in the Eastern Expedition, Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang and other naval commanders were detained in Dongdu. The naval commanders were detained in Dongdu. The naval commanders were in chaos. Chen Len was ordered to replace Lai Hu'er as the one who stayed in Donglai to temporarily lead the naval command and also lead the Donglai County Government to reorganize the naval command. After Lai Hu'er and others were re-elected, Chen Len returned to Dongdu and was in banished by the guards. From this, it can be seen that the Holy Lord trusted and respected him. Such a general in the army who was trusted by the Holy Lord should be charged for the Holy Lord on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition. However, when the Holy Lord needed him the most, he left him in Zhuo County and became the deputy post of Duan Da, the remaining guard in Zhuo County. The profound meaning of the meaning is self-evident.

However, the main force of the Youyan Town garrison army was on the battlefield of the eastern expedition, and the remaining troops had to guard the border. The number of troops that the remaining troops could be drawn by the Zhuo County left was very limited. The Holy Lord left Duan Da and Chen Leng in Zhuo County. In addition to ensuring the safety of the base camp of the expeditionary army, the effect of deterring Hebei was far greater than the significance of supporting the Eastern Capital. Therefore, even if Zhuo County went south to suppress the rebellion, it would not play much role, and it was even unlikely to alleviate the crisis. The Holy Lord must have other arrangements.

"At the end of last year, a storm broke out in the Guard Mansion, and personnel adjustments were intensive. Military generals from all over the country returned to Beijing to report their duties." Lai Hu'er continued, "The Holy Lord took a break from his busy schedule to summon six generals."

Zhou Fashang frowned slightly and listened carefully.

"They are General Huangfu Wuyi of the Right Wugu Gu, General Pang Yu of the Supervisor, Dugu Wudu of the Jingfu Du, Liu Gang of the Deputy Chief, Linghu Derun of the Wuben Lang, and Hu Siwanshou of the Wuben Lang."

Zhou Fashang's brows frowned even more and his expression became more serious.

These six are all generals of the Guards who have real power. Among them, General Huangfu Wuyi, the Right Wu Guard, is one of the two commanders of the Xijing Garrison; General Pang Yu, the General of the Supervisor of the Guards of the Xijing; General Dugu Wudu, the Deputy Commander Liu Gang, is the guardian of Tongguan, guarding Tongguan, the important place of the two capitals; General Linghu Derun, and Huswanshou, the commander of the Xijing Garrison, have four thousand elite soldiers under the tent. The Holy Lord summoned them specially, and only six of them were summoned from the many Guards of the Guards who returned to Beijing to report their duties. This shows that the Holy Lord not only trusted them, but also had to entrust him with important tasks.

Among these six people, the generals of the surname Lu were of noble origin. Among them, Dugu Wu came from the Dugu family of the Lu family. Dugu family was the core of the Wuchuan noble group in Guanlong and was a royal relative; Liu Gang was from the Liu family, one of the eight nobles in the surname Lu, and was a royal relative; Huswanshou was from the large family of the surname Lu, and this family had considerable influence in the military and was one of the important forces of the old noble group of the surname Lu, headed by the Yuan family in the military.

In comparison, the origins of the three Han generals were much worse. Among them, Huangfu Wuyi came from the Huangfu family, a thousand-year-old family in the northwest. The most famous of the Huangfu family was Huangfu Song, the Taiwei who suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. However, the descendants of the Huangfu family rarely had outstanding talents in the era of the Great Secession of Middle-earth. In the era of Guanlong's rise, they could not compare with the Li family in Longxi, and they became second-class nobles in the northwest. However, in the Jingzhou area east of Longshan (Liupan Mountain), that is, the stability and north of the Jingshui River, where Xiaoguan is located in the north gate of Guanzhong, the Huangfu family firmly sits in the "boss". All the nobles on both sides of the Jingshui River are the leader of the Huangfu family. This is a historical origin and regional interests will not change at any time or under any circumstances.

The general of Wu Ben Lang, Linghu Derun, also came from the northwest. The Linghu family is a nobleman in Hexi and can only be regarded as a third- and fourth-rate aristocrat in the northwest. However, the soldiers of Hexi were also very fierce. The Hexi Army, the Longxi Army and the Ling (Wu) Shuo (Fang) Legion jointly built a powerful and huge Northwest Army. Among them, the Hexi Army has fought fiercely with the Northern Barbarians for generations because of its fierce military achievements. Many famous generals have emerged in history, and many more have become senior commanders of the military due to their military achievements. Zhao Cai, the right guard general in the Guard Mansion, is from Jiuquan, and the former left guard Duan Da, is the current Wuwei general, is a native of Wuwei. These two military "big bosses" are deeply trusted by the Holy Lord.

Longxi and Lingshuo are adjacent to Guanzhong. Guanzhong needs their protection, while they need the support of Guanzhong. Both sides have a common interest base. Therefore, the local aristocratic group of Guanlong has always firmly controlled the two major legions of Longxi and Lingshuo. Hexi is too far away. Although its strategic position is very important, it is too far away from Guanzhong, and the interest relationship between the two will not be too close, which makes Hexi very independent and it is difficult for Guanzhong to control the Hexi legion. In addition, for some other political, military, and economic reasons, the conflicts between the three major legions of the Northwest Army of the Hexi nobles and the local aristocrats of Guanlong are very fierce. In this context, it is not difficult to understand that both generations of emperors trust and value Hexi generals.

Currently, the senior generals from Hexi in the Wei Mansion are basically old friends of Zhao Cai and Duan Da. There is no way. Some people in the imperial court are easy to be an official, and the Wei Mansion is the same. There is no strong relationship. Not to mention promotion, they can't even make military achievements. Therefore, the people of Hexi must of course be united. Linghu Derun is one of Zhao Cai's favorite disciples, and it is reasonable for the Holy Chairman to hold him with important tasks.

Pang Yu came from a family of officials in Jingyang. He was a low-ranking nobleman. He was a typical poor general who had risen with military merits. However, Pang Yu was able to be the general of the magistrate of the magistrate, and could command the guards in charge of the guards, and win the trust of the Holy Lord. The most important reason was that the Pang family in Jingyang was a vassal of the Hongnong Yang family. Pang Yu was once the personal guard of the late emperor. After the Holy Lord entered the Eastern Palace, he was also responsible for the guards of the Eastern Palace. It was natural for the Holy Lord to trust him.

If these six generals were put together to analyze the intentions of the Holy Lord, the matter would be complicated. In addition to the Holy Lord, these six generals had another very obvious commonality, that is, the troops they led were all in Guanzhong area, and they had a direct relationship with the security of Xijing. What does this mean? What is going to happen in Xijing?

From the current situation, if something happens in Xijing, there are only two possibilities. One is that Xijing supports Yang Xuangan and forms an alliance with Yang Xuangan. The Xijing army enters the battlefield of Dongdu, which is the most terrifying thing; another possibility is that Xijing sits in the mountains and watches tiger fights, watches coldly, and lets Yang Xuangan cause trouble to the Dongdu, and is reluctant to send troops to support Dongdu, so as to add insults to profit from it. This will quickly expand the crisis and become out of control.

Zhou Fashang pondered for a long time and asked in a low voice, "What is the Holy Lord's instructions?"

"If there are changes in the east, Xijing must send troops to support the fastest to ensure the safety of the east capital." Lai Hu'er sighed, "If the east capital is in chaos, the safety of the Grand Canal will be lost. The second Eastern Expedition will undoubtedly be defeated, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"They..." Zhou Fashang also sighed, "Is it OK?"

Lai Hu'er was speechless.
