Xie Wenyuan knew from the very beginning that if he wanted to uproot Wei Hechao and his entangled henchmen, it would be impossible to win by small tricks and tricks.

In terms of tactics, even Xie Wenyuan has to admit that Wei Hechao can be said to be a first-class expert in the court. Although he is suspicious, he does everything without leaking. Tan Yuanjin, Tan Yuance.What's more, such a man who is good at strategy is extremely powerful. If he wants to win him, he can only swallow thousands of miles of gold and iron horses with real swords and guns.Regarding this point, no one knows better than him, Xie Wenyuan, and the eldest son of the Xie family.

Therefore, Xie Wenyuan never hoped that he could beat this deeply entrenched prime minister with some small tricks, if he was just Wei Hechao's calculations and he didn't count the moment of paralysis, or he was just delaying time.

"I think, for him, the best time is when I drive the crane west."

One month ago, Emperor Feng Zheng dragged his sick body into the imperial study, and summoned 15 advisers and cronies of Prince Tan Yuanyong, Xie Wenyuan, and He Qinyan to discuss.

After driving away the servants in the four palaces, Emperor Feng Zheng took a deep breath, and said: "The emperor is mourning, the master has not been decided, it is the time when the inner courtyard of the palace is in a hurry, and all forces are about to move, he will definitely choose these days to do it. "

"Now it has been discovered that Wei Hechao hoarded soldiers in Xunyang, Lianghu, etc., and colluded with Zhou Xian, Jinning and others to instigate rebellion against the forbidden army. In the west, there are Uighurs eyeing them, and they have formed a siege. Now that Jingzhao is trapped in it, I don't know. How can we break this situation." He Qinyan frowned, seeing that Emperor Feng Zheng's complexion was black and blue, obviously this day's long discussion had made his sick and weak body unable to hold on, but even up to now, no one has been negotiated. available policy.

There was dead silence in the imperial study room. After an unknown period of time, Tan Yuanyong, who was sitting at the side of Emperor Fengzheng, said: "The defenders in the southeast and southwest are too far away, so they must be too late. Calculated, they can only block the forces of the Wei and Chao Dynasties. It goes north."

Jin Ning, Minister of Zhongshu Province, nodded when he heard the words and said: "The crown prince is right. The two lakes are located in the middle of the big river. Wei Hechao must have made a plan to let soldiers hoard there to block the way to Beijing..." He thought for a while Thinking about it, he turned to He Qinyan and asked:

"Lord He, although Wei Hechao has recruited [-] elite guards, there are still [-] there. Even if they are not all elite soldiers, they are large in number, and they should be able to withstand one or two... "

When He Qinyan heard this, he frowned and shook his head.

Seeing this, Jin Ning asked again: "Could it be unstoppable?"

Xie Wenyuan, who had never said a word, looked up at Jin Ning, and said slowly: "Wei Hechao was able to win over [-] imperial troops, so he probably won't leave those [-] there to threaten him."

Although Xie Wenyuan said that he had never asked about the imperial guards, he probably guessed that the imperial guards might have been dirty long ago. Thinking of this, he looked at He Qinyan and asked, "Master He, can you Ying Shu asked, how trustworthy is the Imperial Guard?"

He Qinyan looked at Emperor Feng Zheng, and seeing Emperor Feng Zheng nodded, he said: "The imperial guards are divided into sixteen guards, six elite guards, nearly 2 people, led by Min Zhitong, and the remaining ten are assigned to Tan Ke. The two generals, Luo Huan, were promoted by Wei Hechao 15 years ago..."

The result was clear at a glance, even Jin Ning, a usually serious counselor, couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Emperor Feng Zheng shook his head and smiled when he heard the words: "Wei Hechao really made great achievements at that time. As an emperor, it is not up to him to do everything on his own. The final result is all a trade-off."

This point is naturally clear to the people in the imperial study.

Jin Ning still didn't give up, and asked: "It is impossible for Wei Hechao to win over all the 6 people. Presumably, he just won over some important generals. If he can coerce one or two..."

"The other two generals, Xie, don't know much about it, but I do know about Min Zhitong." Xie Wenyuan said, "This man is really capable of ordering soldiers and platoons. If he has a pure heart, he can say a thing or two. But this man's intentions are not righteous, he is so ambitious and extremely greedy for power, presumably he has already squeezed him to death with Wei Hechao's methods."

"In this way, it is unbelievable."

Jin Ning said again: "Since the reinforcements from the south can't catch up, so what about Yanbei?" Yanbei's coming to Jingzhao is considered to be close, not to mention that Yanbei is the mother's family of the crown prince's mother and concubine, and the Marquis of Yanbei is also the uncle of the crown prince, so it might be useful.

Upon hearing this, Tan Yuanyong replied, "Yan Beijun is a trusted confidant of the royal family, and he has no second thoughts."

When Tan Yuanyong said this, Feng Zheng kept looking at Xie Wenyuan with an indifferent expression, and after Tan Yuanyong finished speaking, he did not see any change in Xie Wenyuan's expression.

Emperor Feng Zheng rubbed between his swollen and sore eyebrows, then picked up the herbal tea on the table with trembling hands and took a sip

.After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Ahem...Although the Yanbei Army can arrive, it is still weak to resist the imperial army in the north. How can we spare the energy to take care of the Uighurs and Wei Hechao's roots in the city?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Wenyuan again, took a breath and said, "Why didn't Shang Shuling say something about his strategy today? Did he have no good strategy in mind, or did he have a strategy but it's hard to say?"

Xie Wenyuan smiled when he heard the words, cupped his hands and said, "It's not a good strategy..."

Emperor Feng Zheng looked at Xie Wenyuan, and asked slowly: "Tell me."

Xie Wenyuan slowly straightened his body, looked directly at Emperor Feng Zheng, and his voice was as calm as a spring: "I think that the more we play tricks with Wei Hechao, the more we may fall into his tricks. His roots are too deep, and he has been plotting for many years. , No one can be sure that the known information now is all his plan."

As soon as these words came out, no one in the imperial study room said another word, Xie Wenyuan paused and continued: "Since Wei Hechao knows the prince and us well, he must think that we will find a plan that will do everything possible to drive him to a dead end." After all, in the past, he and Tan Yuanyong and others fought against Wei Hechao, all of which were schemes, "So, it's better to do the opposite."

"What do you mean, confront him directly, and catch him by surprise?" He Qinyan frowned slightly, "But where are the soldiers fighting against him now?"

Emperor Feng Zheng looked at Xie Wenyuan, seeing that Xie Wenyuan did not answer He Qinyan's words, Emperor Feng Zheng closed his eyes, and finally said: "Only the Northwest Army."

After Emperor Feng Zheng finished speaking, other than Xie Wenyuan and Tan Yuanyong, more than a dozen people in the royal study froze. Once suppressed, if the army of the Northwest is really sent to Jingzhao...the rich wolf Wei Hechao is attracted, and the fierce tiger Xie's family is even attracted, if one is not careful, maybe the world will be named Xie... ..

"With the power of the current Weihe Dynasty, if they want to eradicate it, only the Northwest Army can do it." Emperor Feng Zheng said another sentence before opening his eyes again, "Shang Shuling wants to say this, right?"

Xie Wenyuan didn't evade any more, and said straight: "Exactly." If Emperor Feng Zheng and the crown prince want to join forces with him, they naturally not only want his help in the southeast and southwest, but also the Xie family behind him.

Emperor Feng Zheng nodded, neither saying yes nor no, just asked: "But now the Northwest Army has been dragged by Uighurs.

, Wei Hechao also placed people to keep an eye on his movements, how can he get his troops to return to the dynasty? "

"If it wasn't for Wei Hechao's obstruction this time, the Northwest Army would not have been defeated. The Northwest Army has hundreds of thousands of people. We only need to ask Xie's family to transfer more than [-] people. The rest will be more than enough to defend the Northwest. Wei Hechao's placement of those people is not enough. As evidence, it is enough for the southwest to send thousands of soldiers to block it, as long as the army arrives earlier than Wei Hechao's spies."

After hearing this, Emperor Feng Zheng asked again: "The Northwest Army is too far away, I'm afraid the distant water can't save the nearby fire."

Xie Wenyuan smiled in a rare way, "So, we still need to play a play with Wei Hechao that he expected as well as unexpected..."

Tan Yuanyong's eyes moved when he heard the sound, and he said, "Pretend to deal with it with all your strength, and make him think that we have fallen into the trap?"

Xie Wenyuan nodded: "Since Mr. Jin wants to coerce Min Zhitong to rebel, why not let us do so."

After Xie Wenyuan said this, everyone in the imperial study understood that Wei Hechao knew very well that it was impossible for the Tan family to let the Northwest army approach Jingzhao when they had the spare power to deal with them. Therefore, this is the possible omission of Wei Hechao.And Wei Hechao is too cautious, if he doesn't play tricks, even if he doesn't believe it, he will move his eyes to other places, and he will definitely notice the change in the northwest.

Tan Yuanyong said again: "However, he fell into his trap too quickly. With Wei Hechao's temperament, he must not believe it."

"Then let him know that I jumped in on purpose." Jin Ning's eyes flashed, and said: "So, let's accidentally leave some 'spies' in the palace that he has planted for many years." Let these people tell Wei Hechao, They jumped into the trap on purpose, just to make Wei Hechao take it lightly. In this way, Wei Hechao will definitely play tricks and keep the [-] forbidden troops outside.

Tan Yuanyong thought about it carefully, and said: "It's not enough, so he won't believe it all." Tan Yuanyong closed his eyes, thinking that if Wei He Chaodang would evaluate the group of people in the imperial city, it would be impossible if they were not mobs. Only such a hand.

Xie Wenyuan faced Tan Yuanyong, and replied: "So, the southeast and southwest must move northward quietly as he thought, and please ask the emperor's secret order to summon the Yanbei Army to Tongchuan, and then, in the most unlikely way to be discovered , Transfer the 'big army' to Shangluo."

Tan Yuanyong understood what Xie Wenyuan meant. Xie Wenyuan said that the army was not the elite Yanbei Army, because

The Yanbei Army must have stayed to deal with the [-] imperial guards. They did this only to create a false impression for Wei Hechao, and the reason...

Tan Yuanyong said again: "The meaning of Shang Shuling is to make a hole card and send a riddle to Wei Hechao to solve it, so that he can't find it everywhere, let him find it with all his heart and soul, and make him think that it is safe?"

"Yes, so, the harder it is to be detected, the better."

Natural disasters, wars, refugees, food and rice...

Tan Yuanyong said, "Zhong Qiyun."

A Wei Hechao has a disdain for merchants, and a recent Jingzhao rumor that he likes the most beautiful woman in the world has turned against Xie Wenyuan, a businessman who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

Xie Wenyuan lowered his eyes slightly, as acquiesced.

Afterwards, he turned his head to look at Emperor Feng Zheng, "Your Majesty, this is the superficial opinion of a humble minister. I don't know what His Majesty thinks? And will the army from the Northwest come to the capital?"

Hearing this, Emperor Feng Zheng burst out laughing, a hint of blood was faintly visible on that ashen face, he laughed for a long time, but no one in the imperial study room dared to make a sound, until his body couldn't stand the trembling, his throat When the sound of coughing and panting came out, He Qinyan hurried forward to help him support his heart. Emperor Feng Zheng took a few deep breaths, and when his breathing was calm again, he waved his hand to let He Qinyan back down, and said : "What does the prince think?"

Hearing this, Tan Yuanyong glanced at Xie Wenyuan, then bowed his head and said, "It's all up to the emperor."

Knowing the prince's character, Emperor Fengzheng, and knowing that his eldest son, Daling will succeed the emperor, this is agreed, Emperor Fengzheng sighed, that's all, the new emperor is not afraid for the time being, he is very worried, Emperor Fengzheng thought of this, Closing his eyes, he said: "The Xie family has protected the country for a hundred years, and has been loyal for generations. Now that the country is in danger, there is no need, no need..."
