My players are all acting

At this time, in the historical slice where Fan Cun was located, five years passed in the blink of an eye.

Several key events during this period kept flashing before him like a revolving lantern, allowing him to understand the life trajectory of the third prince, His Highness King Yun, after the destruction of Xixia in a short period of time.

After returning to the capital, the common people lined the road to welcome them, and even the entire territory of Daquan was filled with a festive atmosphere, competing to sing about His Royal Highness King Yun's meritorious service in pacifying the Northwest.

Of course Fan Cun felt the enthusiasm from the common people, but these enthusiasms are still useless to him at present.

He was more concerned about the changes in the court, obviously.

Long before he returned to the capital, it was rumored that some civil officials had impeached him for lightly provoking border disputes.

After all, when the Western Army conquered Xixia, it did not set the complete destruction of Xixia as the ultimate goal. And His Royal Highness King Yun's fierce pursuit, although it has completed the rare achievements of the Qi Dynasty since the founding of the country, but in the eyes of some civil officials, it is useless to occupy the Xixia land, but it will waste a lot of money every year. Resources to maintain, will increase the burden on the country.

It is not surprising to have such a view, after all, there was a Wen Junshi before, who was able to forcefully send back all the achievements of Hehuang Kaibian.

It is not surprising that these civil officials held the same views as Wen Junshi.

However, these impeachments did not reach Fan Cun's ears, because at this time the left minister in the court was still Li Boxi.

Li Boxi suppressed all these impeachments very forcefully, and was even so angry that he wanted to directly attack these officials. Under Qi Huizong's reassurance, the two sides finally did not meet each other.

Qi Huizong's attitude is also very clear: Destroying the country of Xixia is obviously a good thing, not to mention the great contribution made by my favorite son. Even if you civil officials want to impeach, you should also consider my feelings!

So these discordant voices in the court were finally gradually suppressed.

But the political turmoil that Fan Cun felt was obviously not just the crow-like noise of a few civil servants.

The biggest source of hostility towards him is obviously His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince, the future Qi Yingzong, was naturally very disturbed by this.

He could feel that his father didn't like him but liked this third younger brother more, and he could also feel that since the third younger brother made great achievements, both the ministers of the court and the common people looked at the third prince with admiration.

And his position as the crown prince is getting more and more shaken.

As a result, many ministers who supported the prince began to take action, and perhaps some of them were hidden among the many civil officials who had previously impeached King Yun.

Immediately afterwards, there were more important issues surrounding King Yun.

One of the most important items is: How should Xixia rule after the country is destroyed?

Besides, how should the third prince who has made great achievements be arranged?

How should Tong Dao assist this person?

In the court, several political forces began to swell undercurrents, jointly pushing these issues forward in directions that people can hardly guess.

Of course, Qi Huizong's own thoughts played the biggest role in this.

Although Xixia is destroyed, the power to restore the country is still there.

In order to show magnanimity, the Qi Dynasty did not kill the Xixia royal family, but only "invited" the Xixia emperor to the capital.

This move is of course very reasonable.

Although it is not impossible to kill the royal family of Xixia, for example, the Beiman in real history exterminated all the royal families after the destruction of Xixia, but that is something that the Beiman will do after all. Doing so is tantamount to adding a lot of stability maintenance costs to oneself.

At that time, uprisings may break out frequently throughout the entire Xixia territory, and the Qi Dynasty will have to expend a lot of power to maintain local rule, but it will not be able to obtain enough benefits from it. If things go on like this, it will be unsustainable.

Therefore, the final decision is to still need a part of the Western Army to garrison, and at the same time, incorporate the various states and counties of Xixia into the Qi Dynasty, appoint officials to take over, and gradually digest them.

And the turbulent situation here also means that there is no one strong enough and capable enough to be unstoppable.

On this candidate, the court once again had a long dispute.

Many hostile civil servants are recommending each other, which is called recommendation, but in fact they want to send each other far to the northwest, so as to stay away from the competition of the court and get rid of a competitor for themselves.

In the Qi Dynasty at this time, the capital was the absolute center of power. And once officials leave this power center, it means that the information is blocked and the influence rapidly declines.

Therefore, almost no one in a high position is willing to take over this job.

And the issue of how to place the third prince is also one of the points of contention.

Although the military newspapers at that time had roughly restored the details of the battlefield, there were still a large number of civilian officials who did not believe that the third prince really had the strength to carry a gun into battle and smash the iron kite, and were more inclined to think that this was Tong Daofu and the generals. Flattery.

As for how the Tong'an City victory was achieved this time, there are even more divergent opinions.

Some people say that this is Tong Daofu deliberately giving the credit to the third prince and supporting the third prince to take the position, some people say that this is the third prince stealing the credits of the generals...

Of course, there are also people who believe that this third prince is really a genius. After all, the fact that he was admitted to the first prize shows that he is a person of extreme talent, and it doesn't seem surprising that he happens to know some tactics of war.

But no matter what, this Third Prince is an imperial family after all, and regular rewards are meaningless to him, but if the rewards are too much... then I'm afraid it will harm him instead.

As for Tong Daofu, he was already in power at this time, and on the original historical track, he was crowned king because of his "merits" in buying Yan Yun. At this time, it was nothing more than advancing the time point of becoming king.

In short, after some discussions, Qi Huizong made the final decision.

Feng Yunwang was the Generalissimo of the Northwest Army and Horses, who controlled the entire Northwest Army and Horses, guarded Xingqing Mansion, and temporarily managed the hometown of Xixia.

This is the most acceptable result for all parties.

Especially for Qi Yingzong, who was still His Royal Highness at this time, the three princes went to the northwest, which meant that they were far away from the political center of the court, and it was no longer possible to secretly make friends with various civil servants and encourage Qi Huizong to change the crown prince. good thing.

As for the Third Prince holding military power in the northwest, will something happen...

This is the Qi Dynasty, the possibility of this is extremely low.

After all, even if the third prince really wanted to seek rebellion, the Western Army might not listen to him. Even if he listened to him, it would be quite nonsense to use the Western Army to attack all the forbidden troops in the whole country.

The most important thing is that if you can't find a suitable reason to seek rebellion, and rashly involve the world in the flames of war, it is unpopular.

As far as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is concerned, as long as he endures patiently for a few years until he succeeds to the throne, there are plenty of ways to deal with the third brother slowly.

In fact, it is not a problem for the prince to think so, but he has not calculated a series of changes that may occur in the future.

...

In this way, shortly after returning to the capital, King Yun was expelled from the capital and went to Xingqing Mansion after various people came to visit and congratulate him.

In fact, Fan Cun also tried. He wanted to go to Qi Huizong and suggested to continue to fight against Tubo and other countries, but these proposals were undoubtedly rejected.

For the Qi Dynasty at this time, fighting Xixia is already the limit of the opening.

If we want to go farther, it doesn't mean that the army doesn't support it or that there is not enough money and food. The key is that the opposition from the DPRK and China is too loud.

After all, the Qi Dynasty was still a dynasty governed by literati and bureaucrats, and even the main fighters among the literati were excluded, let alone warriors. In this case, it is almost impossible to continue playing elsewhere.

And Qi Huizong himself is not a talented and generous monarch, so it is naturally impossible to force such a risky behavior under the pressure of his officials.

As a result, Fan Cun did not go to Shushu again.

He didn't have much hope for this at first, he just wanted to go to Shushu to try his luck. No, forget it.

According to Sheng Taizu's suggestion, not being able to continue playing does not mean that he has nothing to do.

After Xixia destroyed the country, the Western Army, which had been fighting with Xixia, naturally stopped fighting within a short period of time.

Some of these Western troops were transferred to Taiyuan to defend this important town on the West Road. Most of them were stationed in the Xixia prefectures with King Yun to maintain the Qi Dynasty's rule here.

During this period of time, Fan Cun tried to integrate Xixia's military power according to Sheng Taizu's suggestion, and then reused famous generals such as Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan to step up training.

Because Fan Cun knew very well that within a few years, Jingpingzhi would change.

...

As the white mist in front of him dispersed again, information about the Jingping Incident also flew in like snowflakes.

Accompanied by it, there is also the order to transfer the Western Army to King Qin of the capital.

In the military newspaper, the whole process of the Jingping Incident was clearly displayed in front of him.

In November, the Jin soldiers were divided into two groups. The West Route Army stormed Taiyuan, and the East Route Army stormed the capital after crossing the Yellow River with ease.

Qi Huizong had slipped away first and passed the throne to Qi Yingzong. Li Boxi organized the defense of the capital, and the battle gradually entered a fierce stage.

For the first time, Fan Cun was the king of the Western Army, and Zhong Pingyuan only brought back some soldiers and horses in the name of wanting to sit in the northwest. And after that, just like the historical track, under the urging of Qi Yingzong, the Western Army failed to attack the camp and lost more than ten thousand people.

Afterwards, the Jin people withdrew their troops, and the two armies joined forces to besiege Taiyuan.

Before the second invasion of the Jin people and the actual creation of the Jingping Change, for several months, the court and China began a long wrangling. After impeaching each other one after another, Qi Huizong began to think about returning to Beijing, and Qi Yingzong also began to put his main experience on the struggle with his father.

During this process, His Royal Highness Yun Wang played by Fan Cun remained motionless, waiting patiently in his own Xingqing Mansion.

Because he knew that the time had not come.

At this time, he, the king of Yun, could not do much. Not to mention whether there will be a rebellion in Xixia after he leaves, and even if everything is as usual, he can't go back to serve as the king.

Because once he goes back, it will be difficult for him to gain absolute command, so even if he has the off-court support of Sheng Taizu, even if he can fight well, in the end, he will go back with a famous general like Zhong Pingyuan, and the ending will not be too big. the difference.

It was nothing more than the retreat of the Jinren, and the Western Army was forced to hastily attack the camp, and then suffered heavy losses.

We must wait for an opportunity that can really change the situation.

Finally, the opportunity came.

After the Jinren's East Route Army retreated and left the capital, they joined the West Route Army and stormed Taiyuan.

In the original timeline, the Qi Dynasty organized an army to rescue Taiyuan, but due to various speechless reasons, all these actions failed.

As a result, the strong city of Taiyuan fell after struggling to support it.

The Jin people's second invasion, without Taiyuan's barrier, was even more powerful. Therefore, the Jingping change was created.

Therefore, Fan Cun, who already had a lot of autonomy at this time, finally decided to lead a part of the Western Army to rescue Taiyuan. city!

Not in good shape, adjust for a day
