Within half a month, Jinling City has been completely controlled by Manichaeism. They gave themselves a very famous name "Heavenly Soldiers". The actual controllers of Jinling City are Bao Daoyi and Deng Yuanjue. Although Deng Yuanjue had

He has just arrived, but his 60,000 heavenly soldiers have become the main force of Jinling with a radius of hundreds of miles. Together with his

The 20,000 cavalry led by his disciple Hussars General Liu Yun, even with Zhang Jian, Li Tianding and Zhujian Villa in Jinling City, could not compete with them. Baodao B Division and military advisor Lu Qinghou were good friends and joined them together.

After the arrival of Shenggong Fangla and Lu Qinghou, Bao Daoyi took a back seat, but in fact Bao Daoyi was still in control.

Fang La's four marshals, eight hussar generals, twenty-four divine generals and the twelve Jiangnan gods constitute the army. It must be said that these people are capable of commanding troops, not to mention their high martial arts skills. If not,

, it is impossible to conquer the three prefectures and eighteen states in the south of the Yangtze River, and they came from the southwest, let alone the foundation of the southwest, and they may actually control the land of five states.

Although the remaining two southwest states are not in opposition to the government, they are the birthplace of Manichaeism. Manichaeism is deeply rooted there. Now that the army has launched an army, the roots of the two states are still there. This is what makes Jiangning puzzled.

place.

And looking at their attitude towards the Nangong family, now that I think about it, the land in the two states is barren, and the official ecology here will not be very good. It makes sense to say that, either the two states have absolute

Grasp can stabilize the situation.

After Lu Yutong was "missing" for more than a month, he finally attracted the attention of the imperial court. Finally, the news from the Yulin Guards was that twelve of them went to Jinling. What they went for was unknown, and this matter alarmed the public.

After entering the harem, the officials personally inquired and found out that Lu Yutong was directly dispatched. In this case, Lu Yutong was probably also in Jinling.

A few days later, the Ministry of War's six-hundred-mile rush was suppressed by the Privy Council until the morning before it was reported to Left Prime Minister Li Linfu. After Li Linfu learned that Princess Changping might also be in Jinling, he immediately rode to the palace and raised her head before the morning court.

In the heart hall, the express was delivered to the official's hands.

"The city of Jinling was broken. The general who defended the city, General Tie, held on for three days. He was wounded everywhere and was outnumbered. The governor Zhang Jingzhi, the general He Yuepan and the defenders retreated outside the city. Three counterattacks ended in failure, leaving only 4,600 troops.

, to cover the fleeing people heading north."

Right Prime Minister Xia Yongkang only got so much information from the express newspaper he picked up. It is obvious that the destruction of Jinling City has become a fact. According to time, this matter was already ten days ago, and now it is probably completely under control.

to Jinling City.

Tiance General Lu Kanghui, Right Prime Minister Xia Yongkang, Left Prime Minister Li Linfu, Taishi Geng Jingguo, Taiwei Xing Wenguang, and Minister of War Zhan Bibai lined up on both sides, waiting for the official's instructions.

The official frowned, but sat on the dragon chair in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, and slowly said: "My dear lords, the city of Jinling has been destroyed, and the 16,000 defenders cannot stop the mob. The city has been destroyed. It's time to

what to do?"

Lu Kanghui touched his beard, but said nothing. The Tiance army has already gone to the front line. The battle situation is changing rapidly. Once the Tiance army moves and is smelled by the two countries, they will definitely attack the border. By then, the door will be wide open.

If you drive straight in, it is no longer a matter of one or two cities.

Li Linfu took a step forward: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, as far as I know, Princess Changping may also be in... Jinling..."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. As a result, the broken city of Jinling was not only a gain or loss for a city, but also a matter of the prestige of the entire Great Xia Dynasty and the reputation of the officials.

"Moreover, it is reported that the attackers are Manichaeans from Chengdu in the southwest. The leader is named Fang La. He is a family friend of the Chengdu family. For some reason, he left Chengdu westward and has hundreds of thousands of followers following him. A few days ago

The city of Jinling was destroyed, and a large number of Manichaeans also appeared in Zhenan Prefecture and Zhebei Prefecture. Although the two prefectures also adopted

We used some means to capture and kill a group of people, but the effect was not very obvious. For the current plan, we also asked the emperor to mobilize troops to wipe out Manichaeism and eliminate future troubles." Zhan Bibai, the Minister of War, bowed his hands and saluted.

. He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but in this Hall of Cultivation, he has the lowest position. If he doesn’t speak first, who will speak next?

There is a short-term vacancy on the field. Everyone knows that we must be cautious in using troops now. If we do not use it, Manichaeism will grow bigger and really occupy three or five prefectures, and internal troubles will become a cancer. But once troops are used, the northern front will definitely be

If there is a vacancy, if troops are used, they can only be mobilized from within. The 80,000-strong army in the capital cannot be mobilized.

Yes, the 100,000 auxiliary army as the final bottom line is used to supplement the northern front line. Their training is also to seize the Hexi Corridor and leave a name in history. The rest is the 150,000 army of the Ministry of War, but Zhan

Bi Bai said that he is asking His Majesty to mobilize troops. The combat effectiveness of the Ministry of War is on paper and everyone knows it.

The difficulty lies here, but the problem still needs to be solved. Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, I have someone who can solve this crisis."

Hearing this, Emperor Shenwu raised his hand slightly and said, "Is there anyone who can solve this crisis?"

"Yes, I have brought him, that is Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Gao Qiu." Li Linfu cupped his hands and said: "This person has been the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin for only two years. The number of cases in the capital has dropped by nearly 30%, and the number of solved cases has increased by 20%.

Several unsolved cases have been revealed, and this person still has some abilities."

"Although I am capable in handling cases, I am leading troops to fight after all. There are tens of thousands of soldiers behind me. Their lives may change in just one sentence. Isn't it unseemly to be so careless?"

?" Taiwei Xing Wenguang waved his sleeves, but did not say the second half of what he wanted to say. If he wins, it will be fine. If he fails, he will lose not only his life, but also the face of the court.

The grand master pursed his lips and said slowly: "I know about this Gao Qiu. The issue of last year's birthday has now been revealed. Gao Qiu caught a man named Bai Sheng and confessed about it.

A group of thieves from Shuibo Liangshan, led by

His name is Chao Gai. He is dead. The current leader is Song Jiang. He has gathered 10,000 bandits to occupy the mountain and become the king. The people have been suffering for a long time. The governor of Jingzhao is preparing to take some concrete measures for this matter. I met with Gao the day before yesterday.

Qiu, I happened to mention this matter, which is quite insightful."

Emperor Shenwu nodded slightly, moved his fat body slightly, exhaled a breath, looked at Xia Yongkang and asked: "What do you think, right minister?"

Xia Yongkang came out of the queue, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I think that since the left prime minister has a suitable candidate, and he is the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, he will be able to do it. And according to the words of the Grand Master, this person is better than leading the troops."

It is also quite accomplished and can be used, firstly, to test Gao Qiu's ability, and secondly, to train troops and prepare for future battles, killing two birds with one stone."

Li Linfu narrowed his eyes slightly, but before he spoke, he heard Xia Yongkang say again: "Wei Chen also has a candidate. Although he is not as talented as Gao Qiu Gao, he is calm and experienced and can help Gao Gao."

"Oh? Who is this person?" Emperor Shenwu asked.

Xia Yongkang said: "This person is none other than Tan Zhen from the Fujian Prefecture who reported his work before. This person has been dealing with barbarian bandits in the Fujian Prefecture for many years and has some experience."

Emperor Shenwu nodded slightly: "Well, I have read his records. He has done very well in the past few years. The tax revenue of the Fujian government is also very abundant, and there have been no troubles. He is considered competent and accurate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Xia Yongkang said with cupped hands.
