Xu Huai knew that he underestimated the crisis brewing under the oppression and exploitation of prefectures, counties and local clans.

Now he can imagine why a great enemy blocked the road when the official fled south.

After all, the government was forced to give up the fleeing south of Bianjing, which did not happen suddenly.

Before this, the defenses in the west or north would inevitably be destroyed like a destruction by the barbarian enemy.

Before this, the defense organized near Bianjing would inevitably suffer a severe blow.

This also means that the imperial court's control over the local area will inevitably be weakened to the extreme before this.

The local area has long been brewing such a serious crisis. Those thieves who are unwilling to be trapped have no right to their families and countries. They took advantage of the situation and gathered tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers in a short time. Now, look at the Tongbai Mountains

Is there anything unimaginable that the situation is deteriorating at a rapid pace?

He thought the world was in peace before, but he didn't expect Weilan to get up early...

"What are you thinking?" Wang Bing was a little old after all, climbing up the steep simple wooden ladder to the tower that was more than three meters high, panting slightly, seeing Xu Huai frowning and looking into the distance, with what he shouldn't have at his age

He looked heavy and couldn't help asking.

"The Chihu people have been rising north and south of Yinshan for thirty years. At this time, they have even eroded the northern border controlled by the Dangxiang people and the Khitans on a large scale. I was thinking, if the officials were to be affected by Cai Ying and others.

Instigating, he was greedy for the benefit of driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf, and decided to join forces with the Chihu people to attack Beiyan. The Dayue would definitely bring about tragic disasters and even hatred for the country's destruction!" Xu Huai sighed.

The joint attack was the most confidential thing in the central government of the dynasty. Generally speaking, even if Wang Bing was demoted, he would not reveal these things to the public.

However, Xu Huai was already very human in his eyes.

During this period, in addition to resisting the thief army's attack on Huaiyuan, Xu Huai had to either use the generals and soldiers of the town camp to hone their martial arts skills, or ask Wang Bing for advice on the court and the world situation.

Wang Bing would no longer have any reservations about Xu Huai, and even told him many secrets, including being demoted from Bianjing, mainly for opposing the coalition forces to attack Yan.

How could Xu Huai still have questions about the cause of the tragic disaster that was about to come in the first year of Jianhe?

Wang Bing was slightly stunned.

He was worried that the court was greedy for driving tigers and swallowing wolfs, and the wolf destroyed tigers, which eventually led to a backlash. However, it was difficult for him to judge how serious the situation would be.

That's why he thought that if he unfortunately died of Tongbai Mountain, he invited Lu Xiong to the Mobei grassland to take a look at the rise of the Chihu people in the north so as to provide some warning to the court.

However, he did not expect that Xu Huai's judgment of the situation was even more pessimistic and conclusive than him.

Of course, even though Xu Huai continued to be rude and stupid in front of outsiders during this period, Wang Bing and Lu Xiong knew that in addition to having amazing talent in martial arts, Xu Huai fought against small groups of enemies and us on the chaotic battlefield.

The situation judgment is extremely accurate, and he can also use his powerful force very cleverly to guide the small-scale battle situation in the direction he expected.

This is also the key to the fact that the soldiers in the township camp have no more casualties than the military soldiers in the inspectors, but have more casualties.

At present, it can be said that at least at the command level of the martial arts camp, Xu Huai is the most outstanding general in the world; as Lu Xiong said, "It is not difficult to grow into a famous general in the world in Wang Xiaocheng in time."

Therefore, Xu Huai's judgment on the future situation is so pessimistic that Wang Bing will certainly not laugh it off, but will ask: "Why do you say so?"

Why do you say so?

Xu Huai smiled bitterly. Could it be that more than a month ago, when he was watching the thief army in Mopanling, a text memory that should never appear at this time suddenly flashed in his mind?

Wang Bing is already a rare person in the world, but he only believes that after the Chihu people replaced the Khitans, the threat to the border would be greater, and he would be in danger of losing his lips and being cold.

Xu Huai thought to himself that he was just a carefree and innocent boy in Tongbai Mountain who had been growing up for fifteen or sixteen years. How could he see clearly why he would have suffered a tragic disaster in the country that would have been destroyed?

This may be what he should seek.

It may also be that he may not be able to find the answer until the Central Plains was ravaged by the iron hooves of alien races for many years.

"That's useless, Mr. Wang or how Cai Ying will deal with the situation in front of him?" Xu Huai said with a different topic.

"Tell me this," Wang Bing was slightly stunned, thinking that Xu Huai also felt that the assertion just now was too serious. He pondered for a moment and said worriedly, "I am not the only one in the court to oppose the coalition affairs, and even the officials

The family hesitated and had not made up their minds at the end. The bandits in Tongbai Mountain became more and more intense. If the Lu Office could not control it, it would actually mobilize elite troops such as the Western Army to show their military skills to the west of Beijing, and persuade more ministers in the court to support it.

The opportunity to join forces to attack Yan. Perhaps this is the fundamental purpose of Zheng Hui and others hiding behind the scenes to make trouble. We had underestimated him before!"

"Cai Ying tried his best to attack Yan for the sake of joining forces. Is the position of Privy Councilor not enough to satisfy him?" Xu Huai would not believe that Cai Ying would be the manpower to attack Yan for joining forces.

For the sake of national justice.

The Great Yue used civil service to control military affairs, and the ministers in the court also had great checks and balances with each other, so it was hard for Xu Huai to imagine that Cai Ying had the intention to rebel.

"In his later years, Emperor Gaozu attacked Yan twice and wanted to recover Yanyun's hometown, but unfortunately, they failed twice, which made Emperor Gaozu regretful, and later left the will of "those who recover Yanyun can be granted the king". However, this is only one aspect

,”

Wang Bing sighed and said,

"On the other hand, even except for a limited number of people, no one knew about Cai Ying's prostitution. I went back to the court and read all the rules of that year before I saw the clues, but most of the scholars in the court were in charge.

All of them still think that Wang Xiaocheng was not guilty of resolute punishment, and even if Cai Ying held the imperial edict, he should not kill the commander. In recent years, Cai Ying has always been a war-oriented faction in order to deal with the accusations from both the court and the outside world for his killing of Wang Xiaocheng.

Standing in the court, even if there is no will of Emperor Gaozu, even if he maintains his image as a war faction, he has enough reason to promote these things! He, the Privy Councilor, was also the one who was a war faction in the court, pushed him on!

”

Xu Huai knocked on his head with a headache.

Although he was not very clear about the situation of party disputes in the court, he could still understand what Wang Bing said.

To put it bluntly, there was a major sect in the court who was promoting it. Cai Ying was only the representative of it. Zheng Hui and the others were all from this sect, and they also had their own opinions and plans. They were not entirely Cai Ying's vassals.

Some people may not even be selfish.

Cai Ying insisted on joining forces to attack Yan, and he would not easily betray whether he was sincere or disguised.

Otherwise, the court officials who supported him in the past would rise up and attack him in turn.

Is this the party’s common attack on the differences?

As for the current Tongbai Mountain bandit incident, whether Cai Ying was directed by direct instructions, according to the development of the current situation, it is really possible that as Wang Bing said, Zheng Hui was stirring up trouble, in addition to cutting off the roots, there is a purpose to be a part of the goal of

It will be a military demonstration before the coalition forces attack Yan, and strengthen the voice of the pro-war faction in the court.

Of course, Zheng Hui may not have predicted the rapid development of the situation, right?

Seeing that the thief army did not seem to be out in the afternoon, Xu Huai climbed down the stairs with Wang Bing and walked to Zheng Butcher's butcher's shop.

Zheng Tu found the melon from somewhere and soaked it in a well. At this time, he cut it and brought it to Xu Huai, Wang Bing, Lu Xiong to relieve the heat of the heat—— Sitting in the yard, Wang Bing and Xu Huai, and then told Xu Huai in detail.

Some people from the War Clan followed the matter.

At night, Deng Gui sent someone to find Wang Bing and Lu Xiong went to the military camp to discuss matters.

Although Xu Huai is the capital of the township camp, he has established a foolish and reckless character, and with a character like Wang Bing and Lu Xiong, he doesn't need to waste too much energy and interfere in the cumbersome defense arrangements.

.

So whenever there is a military discussion, he will follow Tang Pan and Yin Peng to represent the village camp with Jin Longquan. He can use most of the time before going to war to accumulate energy, practice martial arts and supervise the situation except for most of the time before going to war.

The generals and soldiers in the town camp were trained.

Otherwise, the simple defense barriers in the street market will be inspected several times a day, and then focus on checking the gaps in every corner, strengthening and strengthening them, and taking up all his free time.

He can ignore these things at all now.

However, at this time he had no way to practice swords and guns or to supervise the soldiers in the township to practice.

The upcoming disaster in the first year of Jianhe was basically related to the Chihu people's alliance to attack Yan and eventually lead the wolf into the house.

Xu Huai believes that the historical trend revealed by this short passage is not inconsistent, but the key is how to reverse it?

Are you trying to find a way to destroy the plan of the joint forces of the pro-war faction such as Cai Ying to attack Yan?

This is not impossible.

After all, Wang Bing said just now that in addition to him, there were many ministers in the court who opposed the coalition forces to attack Yan, but his attitude was not as firm as his. The officials (emperor) had not yet made up their minds and were still swaying left and right.

Before that, Xu Huai might have worked hard in this direction, but when he saw the bandits in Tongbai Mountain became more and more intense, he hesitated.

According to the existing historical trend, Chen Zixiao would not become a great bandit until the first year of Jianhe, but at this time Chen Zixiao had already become a great bandit, with seven or eight thousand soldiers under his command, and would continue in a short period of time.

Swell down.

What did all this work? Just Zheng Hui and others are pushing it behind the scenes?

Everything Xu Huai has seen in the past six months has made him more thoroughly understand what "the times create heroes" or "when the wind comes, even pigs can go to heaven"?

To put it bluntly, it was not that Chen Zixiao had a good life or that Zheng Hui had made contributions in secret planning. What was more fundamental was that the times were caused.

The contradiction accumulated in Tongbai Mountain is the current situation. People like Zheng Hui and Chen Zixiao can only be regarded as Mars.

Even if Zheng Hui is not stirring up the wind and rain behind the scenes, when he encounters the next accidental revelation, he will inevitably burst out; even if Chen Zixiao cannot become a big enemy, the time comes, there will inevitably be a second Chen Zixiao taking advantage of the situation.

Started.

At this time, Xu Huai would not think that the disaster of the country's destruction that was about to come in the first year of Jianhe was the fundamental reason for the coalition of troops to attack Yan.

The fundamentals must be investigated. First, the rise of the Chihu people in Mobei is already unstoppable, and second, there are too many hidden worries within the Dayue. The court and even the clans in the countryside are drunk and dreaming of death, thinking that the world is still peaceful and the country is in full swing.

Even if it was just to delay the outbreak of the crisis, Xu Huai didn't feel that he would find a way to help Wang Bing make a comeback and stand against the pro-war faction, or to remove Cai Ying from power, which would definitely prevent the coalition forces from attacking Yan.

These days he heard Wang talk about the court and the general trend of the country. He realized that the situation in the court was much more complicated than he thought.

Even the pro-war faction has a huge difference.

More than ten years ago, Wang Xiaocheng recovered Wei, Yun and other places from the Khitans. He would rather resist the order than withdraw his troops and eventually lead to death. Of course, he is the backbone of the pro-war faction. Is his choice wrong?

There were quite a lot of scholars, ministers, generals and officials in the court just wanted to regain Yanyun's hometown.

Some of them were Wang Bing's old friends, who were disagreeing with Wang Bing on the issue of joining forces to attack Yan, but Wang Bing did not think they had any problems with their nature.

Even if Cai Ying falls, these pro-war factions will launch another leader to take charge of the matter.

Is it useful to simply stand on the opposite side of the main war faction?

Even Wang Bing cannot be considered a peacemaker. In recent years, he has advocated strengthening the border army and actively expanding the territory with the tactics of building forts and consolidating defense. This time he was only worried that the rise of the Red Gu people was too strong, and Dayue was

The internal troubles are not resolved, so now we can drive away tigers and swallow wolves. The coalition forces are too hasty to attack Yan, and there will be future problems...
