Jing and Hu Lie Mansion had an agreement that there was no imperial edict from Bian Jing, and Hu Lie Mansion's army... Later, he recovered Youyan, and Bian Jing revised this agreement and did not allow the army of Hu Lie Mansion to enter Youyan. Now Tan asked Li Hu for help, which shows that the situation in Hebei is very critical. If the situation goes out of control, even if he is the Xuanfu envoy, he can't take much care of it in a hurry. First ask Li Hu for help, and then report to Bian Jing. The emperor trusts Tan Zhen very much, and there is a Liang army in the palace who is speaking. Although this matter is suspected of being executed first and then reporting, only by quelling the rebellion, Tan Zhen is not only innocent but also a meritorious.

Of course, Li Hu could not send troops south. He had not had many troops left behind in Datong. The Jin Dynasty's army was on the grassland in the northern part of Yuanyang and threatened Datong at all times. He had no way out and did not dare to send troops south to Hebei, so he immediately replied to Tan Zhen. Without the imperial edict of Bian Jing, I could not go south. In addition, the main force of Hulie Mansion was expeditioning the west. The number of garrison troops in Datong Town was limited and there was no soldiers to support.

Then he hurriedly wrote to Taiyuan to find out Prince Yun's tone. If the emperor insisted on stopping the Western Expedition, this Western Expedition would be over.

In mid-October, Taiyuan, the Northwest Marshal's Mansion.

The king received the emperor's edict. The emperor told Prince Yun that a rebellion broke out in Hebei and the thieves were in great power. The east and west governments demanded that the Northwest Army be called to quell the rebellion and stop the western expedition.

The reason for the Eastern Prefecture is that the reason why the rebellion broke out in Hebei this year was because of the poor year of the year, first flooding and then drought, famine everywhere, and the court was ineffective in relief. The reason for the relief was that the Western Expedition was because of the Western Expedition. The Northern Expedition had already consumed a lot of money, and now it launched a Western Expedition, and a large amount of food was sent to the northwest. What relief should the imperial court use? In addition to Hebei, Jingdong and Huainan areas are also suffering from disasters and famines, and rebellions may also break out in Shandong Jianghuai. In addition, Qinfeng Road has a severe drought and the disaster in Guanzhong is serious, so we are also eager to provide relief. Prime Minister Wang and Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang therefore tried his best to persuade the emperor to stop the Western Expedition immediately, transfer the food to the disaster area, and send officials to the relief. When the people have food, the rebellion will naturally quell.

The reason for the Xifu Prefecture is that the number of imperial guards in Hebei is limited. When the situation in Youyan is unstable, its main task is to guard Baigou. One is to prevent the betrayal of Guo Yaoshi and Youyan army, and the other is to provide assistance when Yanjing is in critical condition. Therefore, even if troops are dispatched to suppress the rebellion, the strength is far from enough. The army in Jingjin must protect Kyoto, while the army in Jingdong, Jingxi and Huainan must gather to stand by to prevent the hungry people in Shandong and Huainan. In this way, the west expedition can only be stopped and the Northwest Army is urgently called to Hebei to suppress the rebellion.

The emperor did not use an imperial edict, but used a hand edict to seek the opinions of Prince Yun. It can be seen that he was also hesitating, worried that the ministers deliberately exaggerated the scale and harm of the rebellion, forcing the western expedition to stop, and then preventing Prince Yun from making achievements and hindering the emperor from abolishing the legitimate legislator and establishing the illegitimate wife.

After reading the letter, the king was very angry. At this moment, the western expedition was progressing smoothly. The two armies were advancing step by step. However, news of the Hebei rebellion suddenly came from Bianjing. It was a joke to stop the western expedition. The western expedition mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. Whether the western expedition could be successful was directly related to the safety of the Song Dynasty. Doesn’t Bianjing know? Compared with the Western expedition and the quelling rebellion, Bianjing doesn’t know? Hebei’s army is not enough, so what about the army in Jingji, Shandong, and Jianghuai? It takes thousands of miles to transfer troops from the northwest to two or three months. On the contrary, it takes ten or half a month to transfer troops from Jingji, Shandong, Jianghuai and other places. It will be only more than a month at the latest. Why must we transfer troops from the northwest? There is also a grain problem. The food in the northwest battlefield mainly comes from Bianjing, Sichuan and Jingxiang, and only a part comes from Jiangnan.

Jiangnan was the place with the most grain production in the Song Dynasty. The grain in Jiangnan was enough for Bianjing to provide relief, but what about the grain? Where did the grain in the grain warehouses in various places go?

"This is a conspiracy. This is a trick in Bianjing. They want to stop me from regaining the western border." Prince Yun was so angry that his face turned red and he slapped the table. "I don't agree. I immediately report to my father. I want to ask my father to see clearly those villains. They eat my Song Dynasty meat and drink my Song Dynasty blood. This is still not enough. They also want to devour my Song Dynasty country fortune."

"Your Highness, please calm down..." Yuwen Xu's center knew very well. This time it was not a conspiracy in Bianjing. It was the serious problems and contradictions that had finally erupted due to the implementation of a series of national policies in Bianjing over the past 20 years.

Since the emperor took office, twenty years ago, he first launched a Yuanyou Party case, defeated all the opponents in the implementation of the new policy. Then he started the Western Expedition at the same time as the implementation of the new policy. He tried to regain the western frontier and realize the dream of the previous emperors in the past dynasties. However, the northwest affairs have not been settled. The plan for the Northern Expedition is huge. In order to accumulate wealth to the greatest extent, the new policy gradually deviates from the original intention of the new policy and becomes a intensive tax on the people. For twenty years, the country has not been rich, but the people have become poor. The conflict between officials and the people has become increasingly fierce. As the Yellow River breaks the dam, millions of people die. Natural disasters follow one after another. The natural disaster is not far away. Sure enough, it only took two years after the Yellow River breaks the dam. Songjiang Uprising. A year later, the Fang La Uprising. Now, the people in Hebei have finally rebelled. Rebellion is like a torrent of turbulence. Once the dam breaks out, it is unstoppable.

Next, the biggest national affairs of the Song Dynasty were not the western expedition or the stability of the northern border. Instead, the suppression of rebels and defeating the rebels from all over the country one by one.

The people, let them live and work in peace and contentment.

To defend the inside and to protect the outside world, we must first settle the inside. This is the basic national policy of the Song Dynasty. Prince Yun is unable to change it. The emperor is also unable to change it. Although the father and son are unwilling to be willing, facing the rebels who rise up, they must learn from history, stop all foreign wars and court disputes, and use all local power to the battlefield where the rebels are suppressed.

"I can't calm down, I can't calm down..." Prince Yun waved his arms excitedly, "The Western Expedition has entered a critical moment. The King of Han has captured the front-end place, only 700 miles away from Xingqing Prefecture. Supervisor Zhe has surrounded Xiazhou, and Supervisor Zhong has also arrived at the city of Lingzhou. The Northwest Army will soon join Huaizhou and attack Xiadu with the Tiger Lie Army. How can we withdraw our troops at this moment? How can we withdraw our troops?"

"Your Highness, please be calm." Yuwen Xuzhong sighed, walked to the side of the case and picked up a cinnabar pen, and drew three circles on the map. "Your Highness, this is Hebei, this is Shandong and Huainan, this is Guanzhong. These three places have been affected this year, and the disaster is serious. However, the court has failed to provide relief due to the Northern and Western Expeditions, resulting in a large number of hungry people."

"The hungry people are most likely to riot." Yuwen Xuzhong said, "Now the hungry people in Hebei are in chaos. First, there are tens of thousands, and soon there are tens of thousands, but in less than a month, it is likely to become hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of thousands of people are rioting, burning, killing, looting, and the damage it causes is very terrible. Even if the court suppresses the rebellion, it will take at least ten years, twenty or even thirty years to restore these riot areas, and the financial and material resources invested are even more unimaginable. Therefore, every year this dynasty recruits a large number of soldiers and summons all the hungry people into the army. Although it costs money to raise soldiers, it is too cost-effective to raise soldiers compared to the huge losses caused by the riots of hungry people."

"Frequent wars in the Northwest, huge Northern Expeditions, and other expenses..." Yuwen Xuzhong was not good at jacquarding Shi Gang, let alone the emperor's construction, so he skipped it. "It led to the emptiness of the treasury of the Song Dynasty. So far, he had no money to raise soldiers, no money to raise soldiers, and the hungry people could not be resettled in time, so the riot began..."

Yuwen Xuzhong sighed. He couldn't say some things. The root cause of the hungry riots was actually nothing to do with having no money to raise soldiers, but he couldn't say that the new policy was not good, that the emperor was debauchery and extravagant, that officials were corrupt and abused, that the court imposed heavy taxes... Don't say what shouldn't be said, and that you have to go home after you say it.

"The riots in Hebei are just the beginning." Yuwen Xuzhong continued, "The severe winter is about to enter. When there is heavy snow, the lives of hungry people will be even more difficult. Even begging for food, so more hungry people will riot. Hebei and Shandong are separated by a river. Once the Yellow River is frozen, the rebels in the two places will gather together and the momentum will become stronger and stronger. If you do your best to suppress them, then by tomorrow spring, these traitors will form a climate, and it will be difficult to calm them down."

"What does this have to do with the Western Expedition?" Prince Yun couldn't listen at all. "The capital, Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai have troops, so why do we have to transfer the Northwest Army?"

"Your Highness really doesn't know?" Yuwen Xuzhong asked.

The king looked at Yuwen Xuzhong in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

"You don't know how many imperial guards of the Song Dynasty are?" Yuwen Xuzhong asked in surprise, "The only army that the Song Dynasty can really use to fight now is the Northwest Army, and there are only these more than 200,000 people. Don't you know?"

Wang was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe it, how could this be possible?

"Since the Chanyuan Alliance, the troops in Hebei, Central Plains, Jianghuai, and Jiangnan have not fought for more than a hundred years. What's more serious is that the generals in various places have eaten shortages, and the highest minus minus even have more than 70%. The 10,000 troops are actually less than 3,000. This is the current situation of the Song army."

Yuwen Xuzhong has to tell the truth. Since rebellion broke out in Hebei, rebellion may break out in Shandong, Jianghuai, and even Guanzhong. Once the rebellion becomes a prairie fire, the country will be in chaos. When the domestic chaos is in chaos, the northern enemy will roar down. This kind of lesson is everywhere in history, and there are too many bloody lessons. Even later generations are a group of idiots, they should know to learn from history. Therefore, the best time for the Western Expedition has been missed. Even if the Western Expedition army surrounds Xingqing Prefecture, they must withdraw without hesitation and quell the domestic rebellion first.

Yuwen Xuzhong said endlessly that these were things that Prince Yun had never heard in the capital. He could not believe it, but he could not believe it. Because the Hedong General Zhang Xiaochun also said the same thing. Li Zongzhen, the chief of the Grand Marshal's Office, also tried his best to persuade Prince Yun to give up the Western Expedition and withdraw his troops immediately, so as not to suffer great defeat and regret.

"Once the rebellion becomes more and more intense, the capital city will be in a hurry. Once the capital city is in a hurry, the grain transportation will be interrupted. The grain transportation will be interrupted. The western expedition army cannot be delivered to Shaanxi. What should the front-line army do?" Li Zongzhen's words happened to be the key point, and Prince Yun's face changed immediately. The emperor supported him, but the support also depends on the situation. The capital city is in danger, so he can still care about the northwest?
