According to Fang Jue's intention when he returned to Beijing, He Feng came to take charge of Linzhou and guard the snow mountain pass.
But He Feng only brought one thousand-household camp.
It can be seen that he has no intention of stationing a large army here.
"General, if this battle continues, the next critical point may not be in Linzhou." He Feng said seriously.
"In Tuzhou." Fang Jue smiled faintly.
"The general is indeed a genius, his literary skills and military skills are unique among the younger generation." He Feng said enviously.
He immediately thought of his son who was living in the capital and waiting to die.
"Tuzhou?" Ye Hongyi was surprised.
She is just the swordsman of the Hanging Sword Division, not a general in the army, so naturally she doesn't have much knowledge about marching and fighting.
"Yes, outside Tuzhou, the Western Chu Army is confronting the Beiliang Army. Li Jiantang of Western Chu and Wan Yiming of Beiliang are both famous generals in the world... Everyone can see the importance of Tuzhou, I'm afraid they don't want to I, Daxia, got this place."
He Feng looked serious: "I mean..."
"I plan to send General He to Tuzhou to take charge of the overall situation. What do you think?" Fang Juexiao asked.
"General, you..."
He Feng didn't expect that Fang Jue actually had this intention and was so easy to talk to.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he wanted to go to Tuzhou, which seemed a bit like picking fruits.
People finally conquered Tuzhou, but they wanted to occupy it as soon as they arrived. It was a bit like doves occupying a magpie's nest.
Originally, He Feng was too embarrassed to mention it. He prepared a lot of drafts that focused on the overall situation along the way, hoping to persuade Fang Jue to seize this opportunity.
After all, His Majesty did not give the order for He Feng to make the decision, but asked him to follow Fang Jue's orders.
"Let General He go to Tuzhou?" Ye Hongyi's eyes lit up, "Yes, there are Li Jiantang and Wan Yiming in Tuzhou. We don't have a famous general. It seems that our momentum is weak."
Fang Jue smiled and said, "That's pretty much what it means."
Letting He Feng go to Tuzhou was not the result of Fang Jue's careful consideration, but an inevitable choice that could be seen at a glance.
Once Bailong Snow Mountain collapses, there will be no threat to the north of Linzhou, and there will be no need to station too many troops in Linzhou.
Shuangzhou, Tuzhou and Hanzhou require a large number of garrison troops, because they all border on Western Chu or Beiliang.
Tuzhou is further north of Shuang and Hanzhou. Once lost, Shuang, Han and Linzhou will be easily targeted.
So you can't throw it away.
Among the Xia troops already on the northern front, if anyone could definitely defend Tuzhou, Fang Jue only believed in He Feng.
Lin Bei?
Although he was born in the Forbidden Army, he was good at elite cavalry combat and had no experience in commanding a large-scale army.
Wei Ran?
Although this person is very resourceful and calm, he always has omissions and his thinking is not comprehensive enough.
Needless to say, Sun Yi, Fang Jue would never be able to hand over the most important position to him, which is totally untrustworthy.
Of course, Sun Yi's bravery is indeed incomparable. But he can only be a general, not a handsome man.
Only He Feng was trained as the successor of Daxia's military. In the future, even if he is not Ye Xuanfeng, he will definitely be a big shot in charge of the Ministry of War.
In terms of marching and fighting, there is no doubt about He Feng's ability, and he is also humble enough and tolerant at present.
More importantly, He Feng has the background and strong ability to suppress everyone else. This is something that the other three battalion leaders cannot do.
As for Wei Feng, he will definitely follow Fang Jue back to the capital. With such a powerful force in the firearms camp, the emperor will definitely take it into his own hands.
"The general will feel a little guilty." He Feng sighed. He knew that Fang Jue's decision would probably make some people dissatisfied.
The four battalions of troops defeated the four northern states. The Suzhou battalion did not have any strength, and it was about to occupy the most important position as soon as it arrived.
Even if it were He Feng, he would not be convinced.
"Will Liangzhou Camp, Lizhou Camp and Yulin Army... agree?" Ye Hongyi also felt that this military order might be hindered.
Fang Jue said calmly: "As for those few, I already know their details. The Yulin Army will return to Beijing, and the Liangzhou Battalion will probably be sent to Shuangzhou to defend Tuzhou."
"As for Sun Yi from Lizhou Camp..."
Thinking of the whole person, Fang Jue shook his head: "The fact that he can turn his merits into a crime this time is a sign of His Majesty's tolerance."
"Huh?" He Feng and Ye Hongyi were both surprised.
"Why did the general say this? I heard that General Sun made many military exploits and always took the lead. What crime could he have committed?" He Feng didn't know the details.
Ye Hongyi shook her head. Before she came to the Northern Territory on this trip, she had seen the files of the main generals in the Northern Territory at the Xuanjian Division.
Sun Yi, I'm afraid it's hard to escape the blame.
Fang Jue chuckled: "Lizhouying has used Xuegu Pass and several other passes to do smuggling business with Beiliang for a long time."
"smuggling?"
He Feng smiled and said: "This is nothing too serious, right? How can there be soldiers stationed at the border who don't smuggle? With the little salary from the court, who would be willing to come to such a far place."
Fang Jue said calmly: "Over there in Lizhou, there is smuggling of arms and human trafficking."
He Feng's face solidified: "How dare Sun Yi be so bold?"
"The masters of the Xuanjian Division that His Majesty placed in Lizhou were all sold to Beiliang by the Lizhou camp. Otherwise, it would take many years for this business to be discovered." Fang Jue sneered.
Ye Hongyi exclaimed: "Is there still this matter?"
Even Ye Hongyi only knew that Lizhou Camp was selling the replaced ordnance.
"Selling the people of Xia Kingdom to Beiliang as slaves, Lizhouying is so bold, Sun Yi is really tired of living!" He Feng changed his generous attitude just now, and his face was covered with flesh.
A murderous intention arose.
"One more thing."
Fang Jue said: "Prince Ning is going to rebel."
"What?" He Feng suddenly stood up and couldn't believe it.
"Sun Yi from Lizhou Camp has old friendship with King Ning and also has friendship with King Wei. Now King Wei is being interrogated by the three divisions, and King Ning is about to rebel... We must control Sun Yi's Lizhou Camp to prevent him from responding. Prince Ning." Fang Jue said calmly.
Looking at He Feng, Fang Jue said seriously: "This is also the reason why I asked you to go to Tuzhou. Now, apart from me, the only person in the north who can suppress each camp is you."
He Feng immediately said: "I will live up to the general's trust!"
"But if it is true that King Ning wants to rebel, then we have to be careful in the direction of Ningzhou... If he unites with Xi Chu, both Suzhou and the Beidu camp will be in danger." He Feng became worried.
The fiefdom of King Ning is in Ningzhou, which is southwest of Ganzhou and southeast of Beidu Daying.
Going northwest from Beidu Camp, there is no army stationed in Beiliang now, and the border has been taken over by the army of Western Chu.
If there is an internal and external attack on the Beidu camp, something serious will happen.
Fang Jue said: "I received a letter from Beijing. King Ning has incorporated the private army raised by King Wei, three thousand-household battalions that are comparable to the Black Dragon Riders."
"What?" He Feng and Ye Hongyi were both shocked again.
"Where did King Wei get so much money and support so many people?" Ye Hongyi was surprised, "Even the Xuanjian Division didn't find out?"
"The Northern Chamber of Commerce is almost the private property of King Wei, and he is the biggest boss behind it." Fang Jue revealed the truth.
Ye Hongyi also knew about this matter, but did not think about it in detail.
He Feng realized the seriousness of the matter: "Does Beijing have any instructions?"
"What I got was a message from Emperor Zun Pavilion. Messengers from the capital are much slower. If it weren't for waiting for you, I would have returned to Beijing with the Yulin Army and Firearms Battalion two days ago." Fang Jue said.
Fang Jue: "Since General He is here now, you will return to Linzhou immediately tomorrow, take the Suzhou Battalion with my military orders, go to Tuzhou to take charge of the third battalion, and ask the Yulin Army to follow me back to Beijing."
"Third Battalion?"
The Yulin army is all gone, where are the three battalions left?
"Tuzhou has firearms. I've left you a hundred-household camp as your trump card. You won't be able to win this battle," Fang Jue said.
Ye Hongyi suddenly became sensitive and frowned slightly, but said nothing.
He Feng was overjoyed: "That's great!"
"But..." He had some doubts, "Will Your Majesty agree?"
He Feng also knew the power of firearms along the way.
Such an important force, in the hands of He Feng, is really beyond his control.
If He Feng rebels...who can stop him?
This has nothing to do with trust, it is a necessary risk assessment. No matter how much the emperor trusts another person, he cannot potentially threaten the country and his imperial power.
"It's just a hundred-household camp. Once the north is stabilized, we will transfer them back to the capital."
It is impossible for firearms to be controlled by generals stationed in other places for a long time, and they must be around Gyeonggi.
The emperor must keep an eye on it at all times. This thing is too powerful and must not be careless.
Fang Jue, on the other hand, didn't care at all.
Let alone a hundred-household camp, even if the entire firearms camp were handed over to He Feng, Fang Jue would still have plenty of ways to deal with him.
"General He must pay attention to Sun Yi's Lizhou camp when he arrives in Tuzhou, lest he jump over the wall in a hurry." Fang Jue reminded repeatedly.
Fang Jue didn't know much about the affairs of Lizhou Camp before, so he entrusted Sun Yi with important tasks.
Now it seems that there are too many unspeakable things in this Lizhou camp, and the water is very deep.
"Don't worry, General. If you can't control even one Sun Yi, your service as the commander-in-chief of Gyeonggi Province for all these years will be in vain." He Feng was very confident in this, and he was still very prestigious in the army. This chapter has been completed!
