Chapter 252 The Wayward Emperor

Qin Hu also heard a louder and louder sound recently - Wagang Village! It can only be said that the sound is getting louder and louder. There is no unusual performance, let alone a sudden rise, but Qin Hu knows that if he is

If it is anchored in Taiyuan, it will grow stronger sooner or later.

In addition to Wagang, there are many small forces in Henan, such as Wang Dangren, Wang Bodang, Liu Wenju, and Li Gongyi. These people are independent in their own affairs and robbing bandits, which is not a good situation. But if they all gather under Zhai Rang's banner in the end, the situation will be

It will be reversed immediately.

So Qin Hu had already submitted a memorial, requesting the emperor to send him to attack Henan and attack Wagang Village. However, the memorial was quickly dismissed for unknown reasons.

"Why did the emperor let me sit in Taiyuan instead of sending me out to fight? At present, the army in many places is in a tight situation. He should not leave me idle. Could it be that there are some rumors within the imperial court that make the emperor suspect that I am treason?

His thoughts." Qin Hu called a meeting of the generals to study this matter.

He felt that at this time, even if he was not sent to fight Wagangzhai or Zhu Jie, he should at least be sent to fight Jingpantuo, because they were too close to him.

Some time ago, the imperial court sent Yang Yichen to fight Jingpantuo, but he failed to win. Jingpantuo became more arrogant than before, and Qin Hu really didn't want to see him jumping around in front of his eyes.

But the imperial court didn't know what to think and just didn't send him to fight.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said: "I suspect that the emperor may have other ideas, and that is what I am most worried about." Li Jing chuckled: "Are you worried that he will attack Liaodong again?"

"Yes!" Fang Xuanling raised his eyes with burning eyes.

Qin Hu also had this worry in his heart. Yang Shou was too willful and nonsense.

Mai Zhongcai said: "That's not possible. There are so many rebels now, almost all over the country. Even if all the troops are concentrated to attack them, they can't be extinguished. How can the emperor go on an expedition to Liaodong? Once all the troops in the country are drained, he will not be able to go back.

But he can’t come back. Does he no longer want the country?”

Fang Xuanling sneered: "Are you afraid that he doesn't know anything at all?"

Qin Hu sighed: "I heard that Yu Wenhuaji reported that less than one-tenth of the rebels were left, and most of the numbers reported by the local authorities were false. Even if they did arrive at the General Affairs Department, they would be detained.

The power of Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Shiji has reached its peak."

"Pei Yun is not telling the truth now, Pei Ju seldom speaks, and Su Wei takes sick leave every day and dare not go to court."

Li Jing said: "The power of the imperial court is basically in the hands of these five people. If they have such an attitude, the emperor may really become deaf and blind."

At this moment, the flag officer suddenly came in and said he had received a report from the Ministry of War.

"Bring it to me and see."

Qin Hu opened the newspaper and took a breath of air. His expression and eyes undoubtedly told everyone present that unfortunately, you all were right.

"As expected, the emperor once again conscripted troops from all over the world to attack Liaodong! Now he will send us to the eastern capital to assemble!"

Li Jing sneered and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely not be able to go to Liaodong. I dare to say that the emperor will not be able to summon troops at all, but we have stayed in Taiyuan long enough. This is Li Yuan's place, and there are many places

We are all under restrictions, so it’s time to move out of the house.”

"Let's go to Luoyang. Maybe we can realize your dream of going to Wagang Village."

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "Although I think it will definitely not come true in the end, this will is still useful. It will be like a handful of oil poured on the fire, making the world that was originally a mess become a better place.

Chaos will cause more people to stand up and rebel."

"I want to go back to the court for a visit. It happens that the New Year will be in just over a month. After we return to Luoyang, I will have an excuse to go back to Chang'an. Then we will take a look at the situation."

"We exhausted tens of thousands of horses in the Battle of Yanmen, and we haven't received any replacements yet. This time we just used the excuse of going to Liaodong to ask the imperial court for 40,000 horses."

What Qin Hu lacks most now is a war horse, but he has everything else.

Originally, each of Zuo Xiaoguo's troops was equipped with three horses, and they were all top-notch horses. However, in the last battle, more than half of them were lost. Now most of the soldiers only have one horse, and very few have two. If this is the case,

It's simply not enough to fight a tough battle.

Buying a horse yourself is too expensive, and it is not easy to buy it at all now. Private ranchers are all raising prices. A good horse can sometimes be sold for 800 taels of silver, making a fortune, so he wants to take advantage of the imperial court.

As the Minister of Taipusi, Qin Hu has read the accounts of the racecourse countless times. Although the stock situation is not optimistic, there are still 150,000 horses in total. At least there are tens of thousands of horses in the two capital racecourses.

I'm afraid that all places will be like Yanmen Racecourse, an empty shell.

The transfer order has been issued and Qin Hu must leave, so he has been arranging his troops and horses these days. About ten days later, the army set off and headed straight for Luoyang.

Before leaving, Qin Hu also extorted 50,000 stones of food and grass from Liu Wenjing. Now Liu Wenjing was afraid of Qin Hu, a stupid young man, and did not dare not to give it. After giving it, his body ached again. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and vowed to wait until the army was raised to enter Guanzhong and insist on fighting.

The first one to take Qin Hu's head as a sacrifice to the flag must not be allowed.

Pei Ji had almost emptied Jinyang Palace, but there were still some left that had not been dealt with. Qin Hu simply did not stop and transported them out directly among the army.

Before leaving, Qin Hu told Pei Ji: "You have responsibilities in Jinyang Palace. If anything changes, run away immediately. I will take all your family members with me now."

Pei Ji had already given up, and without any determination, he would not be able to reach this point, so he followed Qin Hu's arrangement, and the whole family packed up their belongings and followed Qin Hu. Except for the house, which could not be moved, nothing else was left.

Qin Hu's army marched through Hedong and entered Guanzhong. Everywhere they stationed, they would stop to provide relief to the victims. Such a wealthy army would definitely become the target of rebel robbery. For the sake of profit, they would attack regardless of their lives.

You can basically gain something every time you come up.

If you are lucky enough and the officers and soldiers escape without fighting, then it will be a big deal.

But this time it was different. Qin Hu was well-known and his army was neat and tidy. The road was quiet and quiet. When all the rebels knew that the Qin family's army was crossing the border, they immediately retreated and fled into the mountains. No one dared to show their head.

The Ministry of War gave Qin Hu an order not to fight the rebels along the way. If he was attacked and defeated, he must go to Luoyang at full speed to assemble and stand by, so he did not pursue them.

Twenty days later, the army arrived on the outskirts of Luoyang. Master Yinshi came to greet him personally and conveyed the order, asking Qin Hu to camp on the spot, strictly restricting the deployment and not disturbing the people.
