Wuwei County Prince's Mansion.

"The prince, Miao Jinqing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, asked for a meeting!"

Early in the morning, Pei Min received news that Miao Jinqing asked for a meeting.

This Miao Jinqing was from Huguan, Luzhou. He was born in a Confucian family and was a Jinshi. He served as the magistrate of Xiuwu County, Fengxian County, Xuzhou Sihu Army, Wannian County, Attendant Censor, Military Censor, Military Officer Wailang, and War Officer. His political achievements are remarkable. He has minor problems with flattery and his abilities are outstanding.

Li Yan fled in the east, the rebels captured Tongguan, and most officials in the temple chose to leave.

After Pei Min took charge of Chang'an, he was the Minister of Responsible for trouble and reorganized the order. He was in a hurry to find that Miao Jinqing was available and promoted him.

Pei Min is not easy to promote officials at the Shangshu level, but officials below the Shangshu have the right to appoint officials as Shangshu.

Due to the chaos in the situation, Pei Min and Li Heng fought.

The current situation is that there is a small court controlled by Pei Min in Chang'an, and Li Heng controls the big court in Lingwu.

However, the small court controlled by Pei Min is more convincing than the large court of Li Heng. The important matters in the capital were delivered to Pei Min first. In addition to the areas controlled by the rebels, the news from various places was also passed to Chang'an. After Pei Min handled it, he organized it into a book to spread it to Lingwu.

Of course, it was not Li Heng who reported it, but Li Yan.

The great court controlled by Li Heng was in a state of being in name only.

The original Minister of War was in Lingwu at the moment. Although Miao Jinqing was not the Minister of War, he was doing the affairs of the Minister of War.

"Let him in!"

Pei Min did not take action on others about suppressing the rebellion, but Miao Jinqing was responsible for other daily trivial matters in the Ministry of War.

At this moment, there must be a reason for Miao Jinqing to see him early.

"Prince Prince, Li Wan ran away secretly."

Pei Min looked at the minister who had been promoted in front of him with some incredible slightest sense, thinking about what he meant in his words.

Run away secretly?

Pei Min has never paid attention to Li Wan, the so-called Grand Marshal of the World.

He really looked down on Li Longji's sons, and the princes raised in pigpens were either useless people or strange things that were abnormal.

To suppress the rebellion, he would rather put tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Li Wan's hands to watch the show than move him one by one.

Pei Min is extremely particular in this regard, and he will never use disobedient and unfamiliar soldiers.

Too many soldiers is not entirely a good thing, especially disobedient soldiers.

Moreover, there was not much food in Guanzhong, so Pei Min had no spare food to raise Li Wan's troops. Their food was always transferred from Shuofang.

After hanging them for a few months, it was normal to leave, and it was worth pondering just by sneaking away.

Pei Min hurriedly said, "Tell me in detail!"

Miao Jinqing also looked puzzled and said, "I also feel strange. In the past few months, I have been in contact with King Rong Li Wan as the Minister of War. At first they were quite honest, but gradually they became hostile toward Bei Yi. Especially Fang Guan, they were even more sarcastic. Someone was thinking about the prince's affairs, completely ignored it, and still had contact with the generals. However, they suddenly stopped the news and immediately got the news that their camp had been empty. Many things were not available to pack up, and they left in a hurry."

He paused and said secretly: "General Chang secretly left me a message saying that King Zhong asked them to go back to Lingwu. The specific reason is that Bei Zhi doesn't understand."

Pei Min smiled sarcastically.

He could guess one or two of this reason: Li Heng was a little crazy at the beginning, and judging from the various signs, Li Heng had the idea of ​​taking the initiative to fight.

He left Li Wan in Guanzhong and asked Huangfu Weiming to accept Ge Shu Han's military power in Sichuan, obviously because he wanted to gather the troops in his hands and control the situation while he was suppressing the rebellion.

But with Geshuhan's counterattack, Li Heng's wishful thinking failed.

With the lack of tens of thousands of elite Sichuan and Shu soldiers, Li Wan alone is obviously not enough to achieve success.

In this case, retreating is reasonable.

Pei Min couldn't figure out why he ran away for a while.

In fact, the real reason is that Li Wan found that she could not control the scene anymore.

Even without the support of the Sichuan and Shu soldiers, Li Heng still had a desperate mentality.

Li Wan was not willing to give up like this.

Compared to Li Yan's own enjoyment, Li Wan supports Li Heng who can reuse them, bringing his confidants together, revealing Li Heng's meaning.

The originally quite happy scene instantly became a mess.

Those generals who usually brag about the beauty of the gods, everyone looked at it and dared not say anything more.

Who is Pei Min?

That was a figure whose prestige in the Tang Dynasty was comparable to that of the former military god Li Jing, and that was the object of worship by thousands of generals... His deeds inspired one teenager after another.

Be an enemy of it?

Who has the courage?

Not only that, Li Wan also found that the general who had always been standing on Li Heng's side was secretly preparing books to communicate with Pei Min.

Li Wan was worried that he would continue to stay in Guanzhong, and it would not take long before the soldiers and generals in his hands would change their flags.

No one informed me and ran away in a hurry.

Pei Min naturally could not understand these tiny details.

However, according to the news from Li Linfu, Pei Min has now roughly guessed Li Heng’s plan.

Miao Jinqing said with some worries: "The prince, Song Gong, Wei Gong went to Lingwu to welcome Emperor Chunbao for many months without any news. The Zhong King was constantly strengthening Lingwu's troops, which is not a good sign."

Pei Min smiled and said, "The news from Lingwu is that Your Majesty is now in a state of peace and is lying in bed, which is not conducive to traveling far away. King Zhong also said that Your Majesty is unwell and it is not convenient to receive the abdication ceremony."

Miao Jinqing doubted, "It's really such a coincidence?"

Pei Min said with some reason: "I don't know by chance, but if Mr. Song, Mr. Wei and others insist on doing their own thing, let Your Majesty return to the court with a sick body, or accept the abdication of King Zhong, there will probably be accidents during this period."

Miao Jinqing's face suddenly changed and he said, "Your Majesty is not so ruthless, right?"

Pei Min sneered: "When the time comes, he will throw the blame, saying that it is Duke Song and Duke Wei who will do his own thing to exhaust His Majesty, causing His Majesty to have a few mistakes. Who can I ask for? Duke Song, Duke Wei and Li Linfu and others are the most correct choice now to remain unmoved."

Miao Jinqing calculated the soldiers and horses of Lingwu at Shuofang, and sighed melancholy: "King Zhong has gathered 100,000 troops in Lingwu. If the troops in our hands are to deal with the rebels, how can we have the strength to welcome His Majesty? The longer this time is, the more you are worried that the disaster will occur."

"What I said is reasonable!" Pei Min agreed with Miao Jinqing's judgment and stood up and said, "So, I decided to go to Lingwu in person and invite His Majesty back to Chang'an."

Miao Jinqing's expression changed drastically and he said, "Prince, we can't take out the extra troops in our hands now, so we must not take risks."
