Zhang Yuan was scolded by Zhu Houzhao, but the person who suffered the biggest loss was not Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yong was not in the Ganqing Palace but suddenly received an imperial edict to be transferred to Nanjing as a garrison eunuch. In Zhang Yong's view, this was a disaster.

"...Master Teng, are you right? Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask our family to go to Nanjing as the garrison? This... After our family went to Beijing, what should we do?"

Zhang Yong didn’t think there was anything wrong with the responsibilities of the eunuch in Nanjing. As for the internal supervision system, he was already the third among eunuchs. Zheng He took up this position back then.

But everything is afraid of comparison. No matter how powerful the eunuch in Nanjing is, it cannot be compared with the eunuch who is the eunuch who is the pen of the Sili Supervisor and the admiral of the East Factory, because this is the second-ranked eunuch.

Xiao Tiaozi said bitterly: "Do you think our family is willing? Lord Shen suddenly reported to Zhang Yuan and asked Zhang Yuan that his Majesty wanted to hire people. He thought that your Eunuch Zhang had served as Lord Shen's military supervisor many times and had rich experience in the army. He wanted you to go to Nanjing to cooperate with Lord Shen to quell the Japanese pirates. But don't worry, Your Majesty did not deprive you of the responsibilities of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

When Zhang Yong heard this, he thought to himself: "I thought Xiao Guozi would be defeated with me, but now it seems that I am suffering. He actually has the job of Admiral Dongchang... Oh no, he won't have any connection with Zhang Yuan, right?"

Xiao Guozi didn't know what Zhang Yong was thinking about, and continued: "If everything goes well, you can come back at the end of the year. It would be better for you to take charge of Nanjing in the past six months than to let Wei Bin take over... After you come back, you can recommend Eunuch Ma to take over your position. By then, no authority in Jiangnan will fall into Zhang Yuan's hands."

Zhang Yongdao: "Didn't you say a few words to our family before His Majesty?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Taozi knew that Zhang Yong had suspicion of him and immediately said annoyed: "Why didn't our family help you? Our family risked being downgraded by Your Majesty and proposed that Eunuch Ma be the job, but Your Majesty didn't listen at all, and even scolded us... Zhang Yuan confessed that Your Majesty was even broken, how dare I disobey Your Majesty? This is the only thing... However, you have retained the errand of the Sili Supervisor. It's not too much to go to Jiangnan. Don't be ungrateful!"

Zhang Yong believed in Xiao Guozi, but it was impossible to say that he had no grudges in his heart. Originally, Xiao Guozi wanted to discuss with Zhang Yong what to do next, but the atmosphere is too awkward and the conversation can't continue.

These eunuchs in the palace had their own ulterior motives. Xiao Tuozi had been in the midst of all the forces such as Lifei, Chen Xi, and Xie Qian. After Zhang Yong took charge of the East Factory, he had already learned about it by checking the past information. So now he has mixed feelings in his heart and doesn't know if he was deceived by Xiao Tuozi.

"Then I'm leaving."

Zhang Yong bowed to Xiao Tiaozi in frustration, "I need to go back and prepare for this one. I will set off for Jiangnan soon, so I won't bother you, Daddy."

...

...

Zhang Yong was a little discouraged.

At the end of the Battle of Tatars, Zhang Yong thought that he could serve as the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. After returning to the capital, he moved around. Although Chen Xi confiscated his money, he still spent a lot of money to clear the joints. In the end, he accepted it. After all, he got the job of eunuch in the Sili Supervisor, and the Dongchang also returned to him.

However, less than half a year later, he was arranged to serve as a garrison eunuch in Nanjing. Although he had great power, he left the center of the court's power, which made him feel that this was the result of the joint suppression of all forces in his country. He even felt that Chen Xi was suspected of being fueled by the fire behind it.

But when he looked back, he went to Jiangnan as a eunuch, and he was like a local emperor who held power. At that time, he would receive Chen Xi and help him achieve the victory of pacifying the Japanese in the southeast. He might be able to write a hand in the history books with great hope. He was somewhat looking forward to this.

"Let's not talk about the reputation in history. It's the least worth it. I can get some military merits. After all, I am still the Secretariat and I am respected wherever I go... The most important thing is that Your Majesty recognizes my ability. This time I asked me to go to Nanjing, which is just the only thing I can do. I can't think of any other reason!"

Zhang Yuan comforted himself so much, feeling that Zhu Houzhao was not exiled to him, but valued his rich resume and experience. He put himself in his shoes. The emperor wanted to ensure that the war in the south of Jiangnan was stable and arranged for the eunuchs in Nanjing to assist Chen Xi. Apart from him, Zhang Yong, he could not find a second person. The emperor just made the right choice.

But then he was a little annoyed: "Even such a good opportunity didn't bring down Zhang Yuan, it's such a cheap thing!"

Zhang Yong returned to the Sili Supervisory Office with a little loss. He was originally the eunuch Bingbi of the Admiral Dongchang, but now everything has nothing to do with him. He just needs to hand over the matter to Gao Feng and Li Xing, and then he can go home to pack up his belongings and set off for Jiangnan.

Zhang Yong thought of his relationship network in Nanjing and felt a little confident in his heart: "There are my adopted sons who help me, and then Shen Zhihou will support me. Which civil servants or nobles don't give me a good look, I want them to look good! Do I think I, Zhang Yong, are you easy to bully?"

He was packing his things, Gao Feng came in from outside, and asked mysteriously, "Eunuch Zhang, I heard you are going to Nanjing?"

Zhang Yong frowned: "Eunuch Gao, you are well-informed. Don't tell us that you have suspicious lines in front of His Majesty, right?"

Gao Feng was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Look at what you said... Our family knows that you are in pain. Who wants to bear the bumpy journey? But Your Majesty arranged for you to go, and I think it was for you to help Lord Shen. You must be respected in the place after you arrive in Nanjing."

Zhang Yong put all his belongings in the office room into the box. Then, he waved his hand and the two eunuchs serving him came over quickly and lifted the wooden box together.

Zhang Yong then turned to Gao Feng and said angrily: "If you like this job, you can do an exchange with you... Do you think anyone wants to go to the distance of the emperor from the mountains and the mountains? Our family just wants to do a good job in the capital for His Majesty, but was plotted by that shameless villain!"

Gao Feng was stunned again. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't understand who the "shameless villain" mentioned in Zhang Yong's words was referring to.

Zhang Yong left with his sleeves, and Gao Feng was still talking to himself: "He and Zhang Yuan have a conflict. Will Zhang Yuan ask him to go to Nanjing to be a garrison to enjoy his fortune? The villain he mentioned is not just a little twist, right? This time the little twist is indeed cheap..."

...

...

Xie Qian's courtyard.

Yang Tinghe told Xie Qian about the news he had inquired from the palace.

In Yang Tinghe's opinion, Zhang Yong went to Nanjing to serve as a garrison eunuch, and he did not dare to delay any delay. He quickly left the palace from Wenyuan Pavilion so that Xie Qian could respond as soon as possible.

Xie Qian's face was gloomy: "How could he let Zhang Yong go?"

Yang Tinghe said: "It may be related to Shen Zhihou's memorial... If Shen Zhihou needs someone to help, Eunuch Zhang Yongzhang is indeed the most suitable one. Now it seems that it is not that Eunuch Zhang Yongzhang is unable to do this job, but that he, the second-in-command figure in the Silijian, will further increase the power of the Silijian in charge of printing in a short time."

While speaking, Yang Tinghe looked at Xie Qian, wanting to know Xie Qian's judgment on Zhang Yong and Zhang Yuan, and his views on this matter.

Xie Qian thought for a long time before shook his head: "This should not be something that Shen Zhihou asked. It must be Zhang Yuan who was behind the scenes. Only Zhang Yuan wanted Zhang Yong, a thorn in his eyes, to stab Jiangnan. In this way, he would lose his opponent in the capital. Shen Zhihou has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and he doesn't even understand the basic checks and balances of power?"

"Then Mr. Xie, now we should..."

Yang Tinghe was in a very difficult situation. Everything was much beyond his expectations. I don’t know whether the situation would improve or worsen, which made him not know how to deal with it.

As for the resources at hand, Yang Tinghe could not compare with Xie Qian, so he could only ask Xie Qian for help when encountering difficulties.

Xie Qian fell into thinking again and soon shook his head again: "This is not a problem of one's rise and fall. Zhang Yong hasn't been removed from his position as eunuch of Silijian? If he goes to Jiangnan, it may have a miraculous effect. It depends on how Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yong's next move will be. This is a game between two powerful figures in Silijian. Let's first watch the chess and see how they make the move in the next move."

Recently, Xie Qian has become obsessed with playing chess, as if he has found some comfort in the chess game, allowing him to relax his mind and better deal with affairs in the North Korean and Central Korea.

However, the result of this is that no matter what he does, he will take chess to refer to. He didn't think so, but Yang Tinghe was very awkward after hearing this.

Just when Yang Tinghe was discussing matters with Xie Qian, Xiao Taozi was ordered to leave the palace and go to the Leopard Room to arrange fun for Zhu Houzhao. He went to see Concubine Li, wanting to know Concubine Li's opinion on Zhang Yong's going to Nanjing to serve as the garrison eunuch.

"...why, is Your Majesty going to the Leopard Room?"

When Concubine Li saw Xiao Tiaozi, she asked in an expectant tone.

Xiao Tiaozi shook his head: "Your Majesty just asked me to arrange a troupe to perform in the palace. This time I came to pass the message... I am extremely depressed now. Your Majesty arranged for Zhang Yong to go to the south to perform his duties. From then on, I have no help in the capital."

Concubine Li looked at her disdain: "What help do you need if you twist your father-in-law? Don't you have Zang Xian under your command? Wouldn't you accept more staff around you to listen to it? Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Who can you blame if you don't recruit people yourself?"

Xiao Tiaozi looked at Concubine Li with a grudge and said with a bitter face: "Empress, you must be the master of your slave!"

Concubine Li made a cold "cut" sound, and then looked at Xiao Twist with malicious eyes and said, "Little Twist, how can you hide the little bit of colorful intestines in your belly? You want to use this palace, but you don't want to show real benefits. Could it be that I want me to use a hot face to put on your cold butt and be your subordinate for you?"

"I have no intention of this."

Xiao Guozi quickly explained, "I respect for the Empress from the heart."

Concubine Li smiled faintly, "No matter how true or false what you said, I can only say that Zhang Yong went to Nanjing to fulfill you by chance. Now you have the power of the Admiral Dongchang. The next step is to join the Sili Supervisor as a eunuch, and then replace Zhang Yuan. By then, wouldn't you say the same thing in the palace?"

"this……"

Xiao Guozi didn't know how to respond for a while. Many people have analyzed the pros and cons for him before, especially Chen Xi said that it was not a good thing for him to be the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor.

The iron-clad Sili Supervisor and the flowing eunuch are better than being a favorite minister in front of the king. The most correct choice is to control the eunuch in your own hands.

Xiao Tiaozi said: "But I have fewer helpers around me, so Zhang Yuan will become bigger in a short period of time."

Concubine Li sneered again: "Has he really become bigger? The admiral of the East Factory fell into his hands, and the military power of the Tengxiang Guards and the Four Guards, and the Warriors' Camp was not in his hands. Zhang Yuan was just a watchdog left by Shen Zhihou in the capital. If he wanted to jump around, he had to look at your face, and even more on Shen Zhihou's face. He was about to put Wei Bin to Nanjing, but Shen Zhihou was firmly placed on it, and he didn't get any benefits at all. Just like that, you said he would become bigger... Are you wrong?"

Xiao Zhuozi was stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, thinking to himself: "Although Concubine Li said rudely, the truth... seems to be like this."

...

...

Chen Xi, who was regarded as the leader in transferring Zhang Yong to Nanjing as the garrison eunuch, actually wrote a memorial according to Xie Qian's letter. He only learned what happened afterwards that he had planned everything from the beginning, and Chen Xi would only feel that others had wronged him.

At this moment, his mind was not on the capital, but on how to attack Dengzhou City, which was occupied by the rebels in the south of Nanyang Prefecture.

The army is approaching!

The morale of the soldiers under Chen Xi was high, and it seemed that they wanted to flatten Dengzhou overnight. As for whether the main force of the rebels in Dengzhou was not considered by the soldiers. In short, they knew that this was the first city they had encountered since entering Henan to be captured by the rebels, and they wanted to take the Dengzhou sacrifice flag.

"...Sir, as you ordered, the troops were divided into two groups, crossing the river from the upstream and downstream of the Tuanhe River, and detoured the wings of Dengzhou, blocking all their retreat routes... They can encircle Dengzhou early tomorrow morning and take down the city in one day."

When Hu Songyue came to report to Chen Xi, Song Shu and Liu Xu stood beside him. Until now, the Beijing camp and the border army had no intention of fighting. They were fighting on the battlefield to compete for credit.

Chen Xi didn't say anything, but Tang Yin asked in confusion: "Why shouldn't you surround three quartets and one quartet to attack the city block? Why do you block the rebels' retreat?"

Liu Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Tang is too worried. It's just a county town. We need to leave a way out for them to attack? If you don't surrender, you will fight. Even if you surrender, it depends on whether they are sincere. Now the bastards are waiting to use the credit here to make a tooth sacrifice."

Perhaps these generals in front of me have been holding back for too long, and they have not spoken correctly. They can do anything to make a contribution, and they don’t even talk about some of the most basic strategies and routines on the battlefield.

Tang Yin looked at Chen Xi. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to be saying, "Why did you train this group of people like this?"

Chen Xi nodded and asked, "His troops of Hu Zhongcheng have arrived in Dengzhou City now?"

"It should be soon."

Hu Songyue thought for a while, as if he had ignored the march trends of Hu Lian's troops, and said with a little hesitation, "Mr. Hu is the vanguard of the entire army. He crossed the Baihe River in Xinye early this morning and went straight to Dengzhou. He should be not far from Dengzhou at this time... But if the camping was not properly established tonight, he would be very likely to be taken advantage of by the rebels."

Song Shu sneered and asked, "What are you going to take advantage of? Can the bandits still dare to go out of the city to fight? I'm afraid they have sent the surrender book now."

Song Shu argued with Hu Songyue. Hu Songyue had no temper and just stood there and laughed. Liu Xu said next to him: "If the rebels in Dengzhou City had sufficient food and grass, they would not have surrendered the city, but it was strange that they hid the food and grass in the city, but there were no soldiers around to help. Isn't this very strange? Lord Shen, is there any food and grass in the city?"

Chen Xi did not answer, but looked at Tang Yin next to him and signaled to Tang Yin to explain. After all, the idea of ​​rebels storing food and grass in the city was proposed by Tang Yin.

Tang Yin frowned: "Without more information support, the best way is to siege the city and attack aid. As long as Dengzhou is surrounded, the food and grass in the city will definitely not be transported out. The rebels will be desperate due to lack of food. At this time, our opportunity will come."

"Siege the city and fight for assistance?"

Song Shu asked in surprise, "When will this battle end? One year and a half, or three or five years?"

Not only did Song Shu have any objections, but even Hu Songyue and Liu Xu did not agree with Tang Yin's idea of ​​besieging the city and fighting aid. They all wanted to make achievements quickly. After all, there were still Japanese pirates in Jiangnan waiting for them to pacify. Their idea was to solve the Central Plains problem in the shortest time under the command of Shen Xi. In their imagination, this was not a difficult task.

Tang Yin realized that his idea was unrealistic and quickly said, "I am just putting forward an idea, and it is not necessary to implement it. Everything is subject to the military order of Shangshu Chen."

At this time, the generals looked at Chen Xi in unison. They did not want Chen Xi to propose a strategy of protracted war. For them, the turmoil was a bit long a day, and it would be better to solve all problems in one hour.
