After Zhengping County was captured, the Shenwu Army led by Zhao Yu made no further moves. In addition to training every day, they spent more time repairing and paving roads. According to their idea, they wanted to build a direct line to Ganyang. , to bypass the heavily guarded Jinyang. With Zhengping as their stronghold, they could advance, attack, retreat or defend. While weakening the military powerhouse of Jinyang, they also opened up a passage for themselves.
Emperor Yan Ping, who received the urgent military information, held his forehead in pain and remained silent. After a while, he sighed and cheered up and asked: "Zhengping County was occupied by Zhao Yu. What do you think of this matter?
Wei Guangdu came out with some anger and said: "Your Majesty, Zhengping is located in the hinterland of Jinyang. Zhao Yu must pass through Jinyang when sending troops from Ganyang. Jinyang has thirty tiger troops." Wan, who is already responsible for protecting the surrounding states and counties, cannot blame Cheng Min, the commander of the Tiger Army, for this matter. I ask your Majesty to take responsibility for Cheng Min and send another Tiger General to replace Cheng Min."
Yan. Emperor Ping turned his head, looked at the Imperial Preceptor Yu Qiuzi, and said, "What do the Imperial Preceptors think about this matter?"
Originally Yu Qiuzi was only responsible for condensing elixirs for Emperor Yan Ping, but since the Divine Grant Army After its establishment, the status of the Imperial Guard increased day by day, but the officials of the Cheng family really lacked leaders. Therefore, Yu Qiuzi was given an important task by Emperor Yan Ping and regarded as the spokesperson of the Cheng family in the court.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Min was originally responsible for guarding Jinyang. Zhengping County was captured by the enemy. Naturally, the prefect of Zhengping County should be blamed for this matter. Why should we blame Cheng Min?"
Wei Guangdu He frowned, suppressed his anger, and reiterated: "The national division does not know something. The Huben Army has the important task of protecting the surrounding counties. Zhengping is located in the hinterland of Jinyang. If the enemy wants to attack Zhengping, it must pass through Jinyang." At the edge of the city, the army passed by, and it was impossible for the scouts not to notice it, so Cheng Min cannot be blamed for this."
Yu Qiuzi said unhurriedly: "This is just Master Wei's. One-sided words, the truth should always be heard by the person involved, Cheng Min. Your Majesty, please allow Cheng Min to write a letter to defend himself." Emperor Yan Ping nodded, ignoring Wei Guangdu's opinion, and said, "Okay. I'm sure."
Lu Wen'an's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to recapture Zhengping. I suggest that Cheng Min go out to recapture Zhengping. " < /p>
Emperor Yan Ping hesitated slightly. Cheng Zhu's incident was still fresh in his mind. Can Cheng Min be stronger than Cheng Zhu? But wouldn’t it be too strange not to let Cheng Min go on the expedition?
Lu Wen'an looked down on Emperor Yan Ping for still hesitating at this time. He continued: "Your Majesty, Li Yixian's rebellion in the southwest has not yet subsided. This time Zhengping fell into the hands of the enemy again. Rumors have already spread around the world, and the country and the country are in danger. , Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly! Retake Zhengping and restore the court's prestige!"
Wei Guanglu also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Zhengping County has always been known as the granary of Jinyang. The land here is rich in grain. It supplies military supplies and is an important food route for the imperial court to supply Jinyang. Zhengping was taken away, which is a serious matter, not to mentionJinyang and Zhengping are closest to each other. If the Huben army is not allowed to rush to help, should the imperial court still send troops? "
Speaking of this, it stung Emperor Yan Ping's fragile little heart. It was he who sent the imperial army led by Lu Tong to rescue Jinyang, and more than 500,000 people were almost destroyed in one place , since then he has deeply realized that he really has no military ability.
Emperor Yan Ping couldn't think of anything to refuse, so he nodded and agreed to the matter.
Cheng Min, who received the imperial edict, was very melancholy, so he didn't need to be too nervous about defending himself. The Imperial Master had already prepared an answer for him, but the expedition was unavoidable. Yu Qiuzi asked him in the letter to regain Zhengping and establish his prestige. In order to win over the troops, Cheng Min had never been on the battlefield. He thought he could just hide behind the soldiers, but he didn't know that Emperor Yan Ping and the Imperial Advisor wanted him to go out in person, which was really a headache for him.
Whether you like it or not, this matter still has to be done, so Cheng Min was somewhat reluctant to promote him to a general. Zhengping was going to be captured, and Jinyang could not afford to lose. Therefore, Cheng Min took Le Weisheng, who was familiar with Zhengping, and left him behind. Fu Liang was very dissatisfied with the old boss.

After Zhang Guang learned about this, he made an appointment with Le Wei. At first sight.
When this large army goes out for an expedition, no matter how close the distance is, there still has to be time to sort out the troops. There are so many things that really need to be arranged, and Cheng Min is unwilling to go out, so he leaves a mark on every link. There was no time, so Le Weisheng had time to see Zhang Guang.
Unlike Fuliang, Zhang Guang considered himself a counselor of the King of Jin, so he naturally had to think about Emperor Yan Ping at all times. They were dissatisfied and wanted to seize his military power. This was a common knowledge among passers-by. Now because of Lu Tong's incident, Li Jun was exiled to Yu County. Although Li Jun had told them to stay put, Zhang Guang did not want to give up this opportunity after assessing the situation.
Le Weisheng has been living in Zhengping County since he could remember, and his adoptive father is now also living in Zhengping. Zhao Yu conquered Zhengping. He was more anxious than anyone else, and he had no choice but to ask for help several times. Yes, he was already dissatisfied. Zhang Guang asked him not to tell Fu Liang, so he had a hunch.
Sure enough, Zhang Guang asked straight to the point: "Is General Le loyal to the court or the prince?" ? "
This is a question about his side. Le Weisheng thought for a while and replied: "Loyalty to the prince means loyalty to the court. "
Zhang Guang was very satisfied with Le Weisheng's answer and laughed: "Haha, indeed, the prince did not misjudge the person. "
"The military advisor called me here, but do you have something to tell me? "
"I don't dare to take the order seriously. I just have some ideas that I want to discuss with General Le. "
"Since we are discussing, why not ask General Fu to come with us?
Zhang Guang curled his lips and said: "As for that guy Fu Liang, he is more likely to fail than succeed. If I tell him, I'm afraid things will be difficult to handle." ”
Le Wei became interested and asked: "What is it that General Fu cannot know?"
"Now you also know the situation in the court. The prince was framed and exiled to Yujun, and his majesty sent Cheng Min to take over me. The army is to seize the prince's military power. We serve the prince, so naturally we have to share the worries for the prince."
Le Weisheng thought for a while and said: "The general understands what the military advisor means. If there is a chance. , I will definitely fulfill my mission."
"Haha, General Le is indeed a smart man, so I will wait for the good news from the general."
After three days, regardless of Cheng Min. No matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't delay it any longer, so he had no choice but to take Le Weisheng and an army of 100,000 people to go on the expedition.
