Seeing the Guanning cavalry in front, Liaodong regiment training, Liaodong branch training, and even the servants and guardians of the major wealthy families in Liaodong, they completely ignored the strength of the Liaodong army and the weakness of their own troops, and began to mobilize one after another, without any
Hesitant and timid, all the military attachés in Liaodong Town could not help but be deeply shocked once again.
Speaking of which, Liaodong Town is not afraid of the mixed coalition forces in front of them. If He Yu is still in charge of the overall situation in Liaodong Town, then as long as He Yu gives the order, they will never hesitate when leading the troops to fight.
.
After all, when He Yu was still in office, even if the sky fell, He Yu would still stand up and carry it.
But now, without He Yu, they need to bear all the consequences and responsibilities themselves.
Under such circumstances, seeing that a war was inevitable, although everyone in Liaodong Town had always had a tough attitude beforehand, saying that they were not afraid of a battle at any cost and would definitely drive Fang Zhenshan, Wu Shilin and others back, but when the matter came to a close,
I still couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
This kind of panic has nothing to do with strength. After all, Liaodong Town has a military advantage and will never suffer a loss in a real fight. However, they cannot calculate clearly what kind of follow-up impact this war will have, nor do they know what kind of responsibility they will bear afterwards.
The price is high, so they don't dare to make up their minds easily and give it a go.
Seeing that Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin were about to leave under the cover of the soldiers, Li Zehe couldn't help but shouted out first: "Governor Fang, General Wu... wait a minute!"
After hearing Li Zehe's shout, Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin looked at each other, with a trace of relaxation and joy flashing in their eyes.
They actually don't want to have a real fight with Liaodong Town. They have neither the courage nor the will. Their various methods at this time are actually a means of extreme pressure, and they are betting on everyone in Liaodong Town.
They must have some scruples and are unwilling to start a war easily, forcing Liaodong Town to communicate with them frankly instead of blindly refusing to communicate.
And now, they obviously won the bet.
But on the surface, Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin still had cold expressions. Wu Shilin looked like he had made up his mind and would never waver, and asked: "What? You still want to keep us here? Governor Fang and I
There are also many guards around you, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to do such a thing!”
Li Zehe shook his head and said: "Of course I don't mean that! I just want to ask, what do you two mean? Why do you have to have such a life-and-death battle after just talking for a few words? Even if
If you really want to fight, you two are not afraid of the court's central government's subsequent investigation, but you should at least explain the specific reasons for the war, right?
The two of you have always said that the situation is serious and that you must have a private discussion with General He. But no matter how serious the situation is, no matter how confidential the information is, is it more serious than the unauthorized war between your and our armies?
You two would rather have a direct fight with me, Liaodong Town, than reveal more information. This approach is really unreasonable!"
As Li Zehe's words fell, and He Rensheng whispered, He Gao suppressed the anger and impulse in his heart, nodded and said: "That's it, you two might as well speak clearly... If we really can't reach an agreement,
It won’t be too late to fight again, and I, Liaodong Town, will definitely accompany you to the end! However, it is definitely not a good thing to just let the soldiers of the two armies fight in such a confused way!"
After hearing what Li Zehe and He Gang said, Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin looked at each other again and seemed to have slightly wavered in their stance.
Afterwards, Fang Zhenshan raised his riding whip, pointed at Zhang Zhengqing who was tied up next to his horse, and said coldly: "In that case, let me explain the matter clearly!
The reason why the governor ordered the arrest and interrogation of Zhang Zhengqing, an old thief, is because the governor had received conclusive information and found conclusive evidence. He discovered that Zhang Zhengqing, an old thief, was a respected folk scholar, but
In fact, they have secretly taken refuge with the Jianzhou Jurchens. They are a spy placed by the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong. They have been secretly helping the Jianzhou Jurchens to do things and constantly passing on intelligence information about Liaodong to the Jianzhou Jurchens!
But this time, taking advantage of the chaos in Liaodong, Zhang Zhengqing, an old thief, has successively revealed many key information to Jianzhou Jurchens. For example, the long-term disappearance of Liaodong commander He Yu has left Liaodong town in a leaderless situation;
For example, after reinforcements from all walks of life in Liaodong Town rushed to Hujiazhuang, the defense forces of various places were weakened; and for example, Ximen Sheng, the chief general of the North Road Defense Zone, is now stranded in Hujiazhuang, and has been unable to return to the defense zone to take charge...
After being severely interrogated by the Governor, Zhang Zhengqing confessed to all of his crimes and confessed in full!
After a serious discussion between the governor and General Wu, I believe that after receiving this information from Zhang Zhengqing, the Jianzhou Jurchens will definitely not miss this great opportunity!
Maybe, at this moment, the Jianzhou Jurchens have assembled a large army and appeared near the Liaoyang defense line. They may go south to invade Liaodong at any time. The entire Liaoyang defense line, and even the entire Liaodong defense, are now in danger, and must be
Respond quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
After hearing what Fang Zhenshan said, everyone in Liaodong changed their expressions.
Fang Zhenshan said that Zhang Zhengqing was a Jianzhou Jurchen spy. The military attachés in Liaodong Town actually did not believe it. All the secret cooperation between Zhang Zhengqing and Jianzhou Jurchen was just to make money. But if it was said that Zhang Zhengqing secretly informed the Jianzhou Jurchen of news,
Leaking secrets...this kind of thing is really possible!
In recent times, Liaodong Town has been leaderless, with constant civil strife. It is also a time when the defense is in the most chaotic state and the strength is at its weakest. The senior military attaches in Liaodong Town are all experienced frontier army veterans. Naturally, they have seriously considered the possibility of Jianzhou Jurchen.
There may be hidden dangers of attack.
However, because the time was still short, the military attaches in Liaodong Town still believed that the Jianzhou Jurchens could not predict the recent chaos in Liaodong Town in advance. By the time they received relevant information, the time had been delayed for at least ten days.
, even if they wanted to take the opportunity to invade south, they would not have time to take actual action, so they could completely stabilize the situation in Liaodong Town before the Jianzhou Jurchens took actual actions, so that the Jianzhou Jurchens would not be able to take advantage.
However, if Zhang Zhengqing had reported the relevant information to the Jianzhou Jurchens in advance, then the Jianzhou Jurchens would have had much more time to prepare. The current situation might be just like what Fang Zhenshan said, and they would have gathered forces to attack the Liaoyang defense line.
Got it!
However, the Liaoyang defense line currently does not have Ximen Sheng personally in charge. Whether it can block the full-scale attack of the Jianzhou Jurchens, everyone in Liaodong Town is not sure!
Thinking of this, all the military attaches in Liaodong Town felt that the situation was getting out of control, and they all looked at each other in confusion.
Among them, Ximen Sheng was also a little panicked, but he was relatively calm. He noticed an anomaly in time and asked: "This kind of thing can be done openly, so why do you have to show it?"
Is this a life-and-death situation?"
The next moment, Wu Shilin sneered and said: "This is because, after discussing with Governor Fang, I still suspect that some of your senior military attachés in Liaodong Town have also been bribed by the Jianzhou Jurchens and become members of our army.
Spy! And the biggest suspect among them is you, Ximen Sheng!"
After saying that, Wu Shilin also raised his whip, pointed it directly at Ximen Sheng, and added: "Governor Fang and I originally only suspected you, Ximen Sheng, but after seeing that several other generals also came forward to defend Zhang Zhengqing, we
