Chapter 347: Chongshan Town West Road, Ji Feiyu

"Chongshan Town West Road?"

"Why is it Chongshan Town West Road?"

Although Chongshan Town is now weaker than it was five years ago, its foundation is still there. The reinforcement battalions under the command of the six lieutenant generals are all capable of fighting, and there are also many brave warriors in the various garrisons and forts.

But it was obviously unreasonable that the Wulianghu tribe broke through the defense line of Chongshan Town’s west road so easily!
When the Hu people from the East China Sea invaded and looted, it took them more than a month to appear in Anning County.

The Wuliang Hu tribe is stronger than the Donghai Hu tribe, but the Chongshan Town today is several times stronger than it was back then.

"Chongshan Town West Road, Ji Feiyu!"

Yang Zhengshan thought of a possibility that was hard to accept.

There is only one possibility for the Wulianghu tribe to break through the defense line on the west road of Chongshan Town so easily, and that is someone let them in deliberately!
And this person is most likely Ji Feiyu.

Ji Feiyu, the current general of Chongshan Town, was the deputy general of Chongshan Town back then. Before he was promoted to general, he was in charge of the western route of Chongshan Town.

It can be said that Chongshan Town West Road is Ji Feiyu's base.

And it may be possible that Ji Feiyu deliberately made the Ula clan surrender to the Wulianghu tribe.

You should know that Ji Feiyu had 50,000 reinforcements under his command at that time, but he kept chasing after the Ula clan, without wiping them out or even causing serious damage to them.

No one thought it was strange at the time. After all, the strength of the Ula clan was not weak, and it was understandable that Ji Feiyu was unwilling to have a decisive battle with the Ula clan.

But thinking back now, Yang Zhengshan suddenly felt that there was something strange about this matter.

Why was the Ula family able to escape unscathed?

Why were the Wulianghu people willing to accept the Ula clan?

You should know that the relationship between the Wuliang Hu tribe and the Donghai Hu tribe is not close, and the two sides have a lot of hatred.

In order for the Wulianghu tribe to accept the Ula clan, there must be an external force connecting the two.

And this person is most likely Ji Feiyu.

"But why did Ji Feiyu do this?"

Yang Zhengshan was in a state of confusion, thinking about all kinds of possibilities.

Suddenly he laughed, and his laughter was a little tiring.

"King Qing!"

Apart from Prince Qing, he really couldn't find any reason for Ji Feiyu to do this.

Anyuan City treason case!
The Secret Guards suspected that the case was related to Prince Qing, but they could not find any evidence.

After the case was exposed, Prince Qing did nothing, as if he had abandoned all the people and property involved in the case from the beginning.

Now that I think about it, this might have been a chess piece thrown out by Prince Qing in order to protect Ji Feiyu.

He is playing the Secret Guards around!

Why have the Secret Guards been silent all these years? Have they given up on keeping an eye on Prince Qing?

impossible!
The Secret Guards must have been keeping an eye on Prince Qing all along, but to no avail.

What does this mean?
This shows that Prince Qing already knew about the Secret Guards' every move.

It was even possible that Prince Qing had already led the Secret Guards astray!

"The fleet, the maritime trade! All of this is a trick of King Qing!"

Yang Zhengshan became increasingly depressed.

He still remembered that Prince Qing had a fleet, but he had not found any information about this fleet over the years.

Ding Qiu also stayed in Qinghua Mansion, but he gained nothing.

Yang Zhengshan leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, his mind racing.

If his guess is right.

The old emperor is seriously ill, and Prince Qing takes the opportunity to jump out and stir up trouble. Ji Feiyu is Prince Qing's hidden trump card, and Prince Qing is also in collusion with the Wulianghu tribe.

Now that the Wulianghu tribe has passed through the western defense line of Chongshan Town and entered western Liaoning, what will Prince Qing and Ji Feiyu do next?
Let’s talk about Ji Feiyu first. He will definitely take control of the entire Chongshan Town first.

Chongshan Town has a 30,000-man town standard battalion and six lieutenant general reinforcement battalions, with a total battalion strength of around 80,000 soldiers. However, Chongshan Town also has many garrison battalions and ordinary soldiers. If the strength of the entire Chongshan Town is gathered, it is very easy to gather an army of 200,000.

However, it is not an easy task for Ji Feiyu to control Chongshan Town.

He used to do business on Chongshan Town West Road for many years, so Chongshan Town West Road should be his base.

In addition, he has been promoted to the general of Chongshan Town for five years, and now he should be in control of 30,000 town flag battalions.

In other words, the forces he actually controls now are only Zhenbiaying and Chongshan Town West Road.

As for the other lieutenant generals, reinforcement battalions, and garrison battalions in each city, how much he can control remains to be determined.

Tang Feihu, the lieutenant general of Jinzhou Guard in the middle, was originally a close confidant of Dingyuan Marquis Zhang Shouwang and the commander of the right camp of Zhenbiao. After Later Liang Chu became the general, he also served as the commander of the right camp of Zhenbiao. After the demise of the Donghai Hu tribe, he was promoted to the lieutenant general of Jinzhou Guard in the middle.

Yang Zhengshan knew Tang Feihu very well because Zhou Lan had a very good relationship with Tang Feihu. This man was bold and careful, and had outstanding abilities, otherwise he would not have been valued by two generals, Zhang Shouwang and Liang Chu.

Tang Feihu would definitely not collude with Ji Feiyu to commit treason.

Niu Zhuang, the lieutenant general of Jianning Guard in the central route, was formerly the captain of the left camp of the town flag, the commander of Jianning Guard, and the garrison commander of Ningzhou City. Before Zhou Lan returned to Beijing, he recommended Niu Zhuang as the lieutenant general of Jianning Guard.

It can be said that Niuzhuang was promoted by Zhou Lan. If Yang Zhengshan was Zhou Lan's confidant, then Niuzhuang was Zhou Lan's die-hard fan, because Niuzhuang was brought to Chongshan Town by Zhou Lan, and they came from the Ningguo Mansion. Therefore, Niuzhuang could not have colluded with Ji Feiyu.

Ji He, the lieutenant general of Dingliao Guard in Chongshan Town South Road, was a man of Liang Chu and it was impossible for him to collude with Ji Feiyu.

Hou Yao, the lieutenant general of Fuzhou Guard in Chongshan Town North Road, was the former commander of the front camp of the town flag and a guerrilla general.

Liu Zeqing, the lieutenant general of Songzhou Guard in the east, was the former commander of the rear camp of Zhenbiao and a guerrilla general.

Both of them had worked under Liang Chu, but they were not Liang Chu's confidants. They could only be regarded as useful people selected by Liang Chu in Chongshan Town.

So the positions of these two people remain to be determined.

As for Cui Liang, the lieutenant general of the Daning Guard in the west, there is no doubt that this person must be Ji Feiyu's man.

If calculated in this way, Ji Feiyu can actually control not many troops in Chongshan Town. In addition to the five battalions of the town flag and the west route, at most the north route and the east route.

And Han Cheng is on the east road!

"Somebody come!"

Thinking of Han Cheng, Yang Zhengshan shouted towards the door.

"Sir!" The attendant guarding outside the door immediately came in and responded.

"Hold on!"

Yang Zhengshan said, and wrote a letter at his desk, "Arrange someone to send this letter to Anyuan City immediately and give it to Han Cheng!"

"Well, ask the Royal Guards to send a team to deliver it. I have a few more letters to deliver later!"

The attendant responded, took the letter, turned and walked out, but he came back soon.

Of course, Yang Zhengshan's close followers didn't need to go in person to deliver the letter; the soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion could do it.

Yang Zhengshan wrote another letter, "This one is for General Tang Feihu of Jinzhouwei!"

"This letter is for General Niu of Niuzhuang, Jianning Guard!"

"This letter is sent to General Ji Heji of Ding Liao Wei!"

He didn't know what the current situation in Chongshan Town was, but he had to inform these people of his guess, whether it was a reminder or a warning, at least to make them be on guard against Ji Feiyu.

"Send this letter to Ningzhou City, to Yang Chengzhang!"

"Send this letter to Yinghe Fort, to Yang Qinyong!"

Yang Chengzhang and Yang Qinyong are both descendants of the Yang family. After Yang Chengze followed Zhou Lan to Kyoto, Yang Chengzhang took over the position of defense officer of Yinghe Fort. Last year, Yang Chengzhang was promoted to garrison commander of Ningzhou City, and Yang Qinyong took over the position of defense officer of Yinghe Fort again.

There are about twenty or so members of the Yang family serving in Chongshan Town now. Among them, Yang Chengzhang is the highest-ranking official, and the rest mostly hold positions such as centurions or thousand-householders.

It was impossible for Yang Zhengshan to notify every member of the Yang family, so he could only notify Yang Chengzhang and Yang Qinyong, hoping that they could notify other members of the Yang family and make some preparations in advance.

As for other things, Yang Zhengshan couldn't take care of them at this time.

After all the letters were sent out, Yang Zhengshan immediately summoned all the officials of Tenglongwei.

Yang Zhengshan couldn’t take care of the affairs in Liaoxi and Chongshan Town for the time being because he had a big trouble in front of him.

Prince Qing of Qinghua Prefecture!

This person is right next to him!
Soon, all the officials of Tenglong Guard gathered in the main hall of the Guards Office.

Xie Yuan, Song Dashan, Tong Hai, Wu Chongzhe, Yang Mingzhi, Yang Minghao, Yang Mingzhen, Luo Feiyu, Xue Ping, Han Fei as well as Lu Wenhua and Zhou Ren were all present.

Yang Zhengshan, wearing a gray gown, strode into the lobby and sat in the main seat.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Everyone clasped their fists and bowed.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand and said, "No thanks, everyone, take a seat!"

The lobby of the Weisi Yamen is where the Yamen holds meetings, but this is the first time that Yang Zhengshan has called everyone together for a large meeting. In the past, he only held small meetings and would only meet with whoever was related to the discussion.

Although everyone didn't know what was going on, when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a heavy atmosphere in their hearts.

After everyone was seated, Yang Zhengshan said in a deep voice: "I just received news that the Wuliang army broke through the defense line of Chongshan Town West Road and entered Liaoxi!"

"According to the information I received, the Wulianghu tribe has already entered the country with 50,000 troops!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall's faces changed drastically.

When the Wuliang army entered the country, they were all aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Yang Zhengshan raised his hand to stop Xie Yuan from speaking, and continued: "According to my speculation, the Wuliang army was deliberately let in from the west road of Chongshan Town. This may be related to Prince Qing and Ji Feiyu..."

He briefly recounted his conjecture and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Others were fine, but Yu Tonghai and Xue Ping were completely stunned.

The others were all from Chongshan Town, and they knew Chongshan Town very well, so as soon as Yang Zhengshan gave them a slight reminder, they could associate it with Ji Feiyu.

Yu Tonghai and Xue Ping knew nothing about Chongshan Town, and they had never even been to Chongshan Town.

Yang Zhengshan continued with a serious look: "If it is really as I guessed, then the next person we have to face is King Qing!"

"To be honest, your majesty transferred me to Tenglong Guard in order to let me curb Prince Qing!"

"Your Majesty is seriously ill now. If Prince Qing intends to rebel, he will definitely get rid of the Tenglong Guards first!"
