Chapter 294 The Imperial History Office is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and it is only fitting that the Imperial History Zhongcheng submit a letter of impeachment.
The next morning, Pang Dian really attacked as planned, and proposed to Li Hong that Zhao Lian, the chief general of Huaning, was suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
Li Hong was puzzled by this, just two days ago, he had just received a battle report from the front, saying that the soldiers and civilians of Huaning had fought hard to resist the siege of the coalition army, and after a day of fierce fighting, they had finally succeeded in repelling the enemy army There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add.
If the princelings led by Li Dan want to impeach Zhao Zhuo, it will be too easy.
Pang Dian said in public that he had a certificate in his hand, and the soldiers who had escaped from Huaning had reported to him, and Zhao Jian had frequent correspondence with the coalition army, and he was ostensibly dedicated to the country and inseparable from the coalition army, but secretly had an affair with the coalition army to find a way for his future.
As soon as Pang Dian said this, another minister immediately stood up and told Li Hong that this matter was by no means groundless, and that there had been rumors about Zhao Lian's illicit affair with the coalition forces, but because the matter was important and there was no conclusive correctness, he did not dare to report it to Li Hong.
Next, the princelings spoke one by one, saying everything.
Some say that Zhao Lian has a close relationship with Gu Anmin, and now that Gu Anmin has defected to the coalition forces, Zhao Lian also has the heart to defect.
Another minister also deliberately pretended to be worried about the monarch and the country, saying that Huaning was the acropolis of the capital, and there must not be any dispersion, even if there was no physical evidence of Zhao Lian's collaboration with the enemy, as long as he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, he could no longer be used, and he must be transferred back to the capital immediately.
Some of these ministers are the main attackers, some are beating the side drums, you say a word, I say a word, and they keep slandering Li Hongjin.
The more Li Hong listened, the more gloomy his face became, and the more he listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and finally he was really noisy by everyone, slapped the table suddenly, and shouted: "Don't say it anymore" If a person says that Zhao Lian has a problem, it may be a misunderstanding or prejudice, but so many ministers, including the crown prince, think that Zhao Lian is suspicious and suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so Li Hong can't help but think twice.
After thinking about it, at this time, even Li Hong was not sure whether Zhao Jian really had a problem.
He asked Zhang Mian, the imperial historian, and said, "Lord Zhang, do you think Zhao Jian really has the intention of collaborating with the enemy?"
Doctor Yushi is the general person in charge of supervising the hundred officials of the imperial court, and he is also the top boss of Yushi Zhongcheng, Li Hong still trusts Zhang Mian very much on weekdays, and attaches great importance to his opinions, and now he wants to hear his opinions.
Zhang Mian can be an old minister in the court, and he has been sitting in the position of the imperial doctor for one or two decades, and he has already cultivated to the essence, what can he hide from his eyes He had carefully observed just now, and all the ministers who impeached Zhao Jian were basically the prince's people, and he didn't know why the princelings suddenly attacked Zhao Zhuo.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is also the same in the principality.
After Li Dan succeeds to the throne, the princelings will become the mainstream of the imperial court, and the third prince and the fourth prince all died in Shangjing, and now there is no force that can threaten Li Dan's position, and it is almost a certainty that he will become the next king Zhen.
Under these circumstances, Zhang Mian decided to follow the prince's wishes.
The first is to show his flattery, and when Li Dan becomes the new queen of Zhen, he will not lose his foothold in the court, and second, in his opinion, the princelings are the pillars of the future court, and it is impossible to do anything harmful to the interests of Zhenguo, since they impeached Zhao Lian, they must have some unknown evidence in their hands.
For the sake of these considerations, Zhang Mian's answer to Li Hong also has an obvious tendency.
He said: "King, the survival of Huaning directly affects the capital, and even affects the success or failure of the resistance to the coalition army.
In the case of unsure whether General Zhao was loyal or treacherous, Weichen also felt that it was better to be careful.
I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if."
He did not make it clear that he should transfer Zhao Lian back to the capital, but the meaning was already obvious.
After listening to Zhang Mian's words, Li Hong fell into contemplation again.
Pang Dian and many ministers impeached Zhao Lian, the prince agreed, Zhang Mian also agreed, and most of the ministers in the court agreed, which is really embarrassing From the bottom of his heart, Li Hong values Zhao Lian's ability very much, and also thinks that he is the best candidate to guard Huaning, but now the joint impeachment of many ministers has made him begin to waver in his heart.
He muttered: "If Zhao Jian is withdrawn, who can take over him and guard this important place in Huaning for this king?"
As soon as his words fell, Li Dan bowed his hand and said loudly: "Father, the son has a good candidate."
"Oh" Li Hong heard this, his spirit suddenly perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Who is Dan'er, come quickly?"
Li Dan Zhengse said: "It's Lieutenant General Xu Bufan General Xu" Xu Bufan and Li Hong were stunned and did not answer immediately.
Xu Bufan didn't expect the prince to recommend him, and he was also shocked.
Li Dan continued: "First, General Xu is brave and good at fighting, has the courage of 10,000 invincibles, and has a high reputation in the army.
Second, General Xu is an experienced veteran, good at commanding and using soldiers, and his ability is no worse than Zhao Zhuo.
Let General Xu serve as the chief general of Huaning, Erchen thinks that it is more than enough, and he will definitely live up to expectations. ” His words praised Xu Bufan's body as light, as if he was stepping on the clouds.
Before Li Hong could express his position, he took his robe and stepped out of the ranks, intervened in the salute, and said: "Thank you for the prince's attention to the last general" As he spoke, he said to Li Hong: "King, although the coalition army is numerous, but like the An army, the Huan army, the jade army and the like, they are just a rabble, and the last general has not yet put them in his eyes.
Li Hong was happy when he heard this, under the current passive situation of Zhenguo, Xu Bufan could still maintain such a high fighting spirit and confidence, which made him very pleased.
He said with a smile: "General Xu, the coalition army is not all general, just talk about the coalition army attacking Huaning, among them is the main force of the Feng Army."
Xu Bufan looked up and smiled, and said proudly: "King, others may be afraid of the Wind Army, but the last general is not afraid of it. ” Others didn't feel anything when they heard this, but when Nie Ze heard this, his nose was almost crooked, and he secretly scolded his mother in his heart, what does Xu Bufan mean when he says this, is his ability to lead troops and fight is not as good as him However, Li Hong was very happy with Xu Bufan's arrogance, and felt that this was the courage that a general should have.
He pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, and said: "General Xu, you immediately take the edict of this king to Huaning, and after seeing Zhao Lian, give him the edict of this king, and order him to return to the capital immediately, and all the affairs of Huaning will be taken over by you."
Xu Bufan was overjoyed, and intervened and said: "The last general will obey the order" Li Hong told uneasily: "General Xu must not be careless in guarding Huaning, although the coalition army is not strong, but there are many troops, and they can fight all the way from the border to the capital, the strength should not be underestimated, you must be cautious."
"Although the king can rest assured, the last general will be able to defend Huaning, and refuse to join forces hundreds of miles away from the capital" Xu Bufan has always had no one in his eyes, and when he thinks about it, Zhao Jian can hold Huaning, let alone him.
Under the advice of Li Dan and others, Li Hong finally decided to replace Zhao Jian with Xu Bufan.
His decision can be described as extremely stupid, and it is also the most direct factor that led to the demise of Zhenguo.
Xu Bufan's movements were very fast, and after the morning dynasty ended, he left for Huaning at noon that day and arrived in the evening.
No matter how popular Zhao Jian is in Huaning and how much he is loved by the army and the people, but the king's order is like a mountain, and Li Hong's order is promulgated, he can only carry it out.

Regarding the use of Xu Bufan to replace him as the chief general of Huaning, Zhao Lian's first reaction was that Huaning was going to end.
What kind of person Xu Bufan is, he can't be clearer, his eyes are too high, his eyes are empty, and the worst thing is that he is still stubborn and self-serving, and he can't hear the kind words of others, so that he is absolutely competent to be the vanguard of the charge, and to be the commander of an army, where does he have that ability Zhao Lian couldn't understand why the king suddenly transferred himself back to the capital, and why he used a reckless man like Xu Bufan to take over the position of the main general, but Xu Bufan didn't explain to him at all, since they met, he was completely domineering, even if he looked at people, he was staring at them from the corner of his eye.
Zhenguo changed generals on the spot, and the news also reached the coalition forces.
When Tang Yin heard this, he was overjoyed, he originally gave Li Dan five days, but he didn't expect him to get things done so quickly, which gave him plenty of time.
There was nothing to say that day, and the next day, Tang Yin gave an order that the whole army would attack the city, but it was not a real attack, but a feint, which could be regarded as a meeting gift to Xu Bufan.
The intensity of this all-army siege of the coalition army is very different from the last one, fighting and retreating, retreating and fighting, and not fighting with the defenders at all.
As a result, it was consumed all day, and Huaning City changed hands, and the coalition forces even had a limited number of fifty steps close to Huaning.
Of course, Huaning also sent the news of resisting the attack of the coalition forces back to the Xitang court, Li Hong was very happy when he saw it, he was still a little weak about transferring back Zhao Lian, but now it seems that even if it is guarded by Xu Bufan, Huaning is also impregnable, and the coalition forces are helpless against it.
The failure of the attack again also gave the coalition forces a reasonable excuse to go around the city.
Since it can't be defeated, it can only avoid its edge, bypass Huaning and Tongcheng, and go straight to Xitang.
This move by the coalition forces can surprise the Zhenguo side. bypassing Huaning and Tongcheng, directly attacking Xitang, the coalition army is tantamount to a ruined battle, no logistics supplies at all, and handed over their rear to the Zhen army in Huaning and Tongcheng.
The capital of Zhenguo was obviously unprepared for the sudden arrival of the coalition army, and after learning the news, it urgently evacuated the people outside the city, and for a while, the inside and outside of Xitang were in chaos.
At the same time, Huaning and Tongcheng were also amazed by the abnormal behavior of the coalition forces.
Huaning's main general Xu Bufan and Tongcheng Zhuzhan both intended to take the initiative to attack, and when the coalition army attacked Xitang, they suddenly attacked from behind and caught the coalition army off guard
