In early July, this rumor had already spread to the capital.

Du Yuanpu specially wrote a letter to remind Ji Nantang.

The court's disposal of Lu Datong and Fu Liangji has come down, Lu Datong was fined for one year, ordered to think about it behind closed doors, and Fu Liangji was transferred to Sikong to be in charge of the entire Daliang River repair and paving.

There was no suitable candidate to replace his position as Sima, and it was temporarily vacant, and the military affairs in charge were temporarily replaced by Bai Wenrui, the Marquis of An.

On the surface, it was Lu Datong who was punished, and Fu Liangji was calm, but thinking about it carefully, it was really meaningful.

Punishment and closed-door thinking is not painful for Lu Datong, he has fought such a big defeat, and the son-in-law who is the emperor's nephew has been miserable, even if he has not thought about this will behind closed doors, he has no face to see people everywhere, and he must stay at home to avoid the limelight.

Fu Liangji is different, he lost his military power, and he took over the uncle of the second prince, and it won't be long before the cronies and subordinates he promoted will be transferred from various important positions one by one, and his hard work will be scattered for many years.

Du Yuanpu wrote in the letter that Emperor Jianzhao was so sick that he often couldn't even go to the early dynasty. Even in this case, he dragged his sick body and dealt with the matter so quickly, apparently because of the rumors that have been circulating recently.

In other words, Fu Liangji was transferred, which was stained with Ji Nantang's light.

After the transfer, Fu Liangji obviously felt like a mirror in his heart, he no longer wrote to Ji Nantang, but when Du Yuanpu came to see him, he vaguely mentioned that against an opponent like Ghost Gongzi, the victory or defeat does not only depend on the battlefield.

Following this transfer, Emperor Jianzhao issued another holy decree. Zhu Ziliang was promoted to one level, and he still commanded the people and horses of the Jiangbei camp, and also rewarded the Feng family.

The wording of the decree is vague. Everyone can't understand why Zhu Ziliang was promoted, if it is said that he has a merit in quelling the Jiangbei rebellion, and the battle was fought by the second prince and Ji Nantang, this credit should not fall to Zhu Ziliang, not only has no merit, but in detail, Liang Xingye, the uncle of Emperor Nanchong, died in the camp in Jiangbei. Zhu Ziliang still has a lot of responsibility.

What's even more inexplicable is the reward for the Feng family.

Feng Songchuan was ordered to go to Jiangbei, and unluckily caught up with Wang Guangji's rebellion and bloodbathed in Qiyuan, and the Jiangbei magistrates were almost slaughtered by him. Feng Songchuan also disappeared.

There has been no news for so long, and all the officials have died outside, compared with the scenery when he took office, the Fengfu has been idle for a long time in the past two years. Now I heard that the eldest son is in charge. There are not a few slaves left, and last year there was a scandal of a concubine who ran away with property and was arrested and sent back to the official.

It is said that Emperor Jianzhao will not think of Feng Songchuan for no reason, and his reward will inevitably lead the ministers to speculate, is Feng Songchuan actually not dead, but what secret errand for the emperor outside in the past two years?

Anyway, if it weren't for Emperor Jianzhao's illness and confusion, it would still be to suppress Ji Nantang.

These news, Ji Nantang deliberately controlled zhì. It didn't spread among his generals, but Wen Sheng knew about it early on.

Involving Feng Songchuan. Wen Sheng's first thought was to find Zhong Tianzheng to ask him in detail.

She still remembered that when she was in Jiangbei, Zhong Tianzheng had promised her that she would not let Feng Songchuan return to Fengjing alive. After that, Feng Songchuan really disappeared, and Wen Sheng never asked again.

But even if she didn't ask, she could guess that if Feng Songchuan was not dead, the nineteenth would have fallen into the hands of Zhong Tianzheng.

Now the old emperor thinks of Feng Songchuan again, saying that Zhong Tianzheng is not making trouble in it, how is it possible?

Now that the imperial army has gradually recovered its inferiority, this team of musicians of Xuanyin Pavilion has repeatedly made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and the whole army looks at it differently.

The tents of the musicians are tied together, close to the Chinese army, surrounded by heavy soldiers, like Hua Feizhou and An Minxue, and the children of high-ranking families have their own attendants.

Although they were not allowed to bring their relatives with them when they set off, and everyone had a very difficult time on the way, after joining the army, the families of these musicians quickly arranged people through the Guò Fei Yuan Mi family.

Mi Jingyang is also the deputy marshal, so both Ji Nantang and Wen Sheng turn a blind eye to this.

Wen Sheng and Zhong Tianzheng's camp tents were not far apart, and Wen Sheng came all the way, and all the musicians and attendants who saw her would take the initiative to greet her.

Just as Ji Nantang told her before, after life and death, trials and run-ins on the battlefield, the musicians quickly let go of their prejudices against her.

After stabilizing the dìng, Wen Sheng ti yì regrouped according to the attack methods of the musicians and the characteristics of the music, and these days Hua Feizhou and Zhong Tianzheng are leading everyone to study this matter.

Zhong Tianzheng saw Wen Sheng coming over, and invited her to sit in the tent, and a small school outside the tent followed up and helped pour tea and water.

These pro-soldiers Wen Sheng also have them, but she is a woman, and these people only help stand guard at the door.

Wen Sheng still looked at this person's face twice, and didn't take it seriously, the person bowed and withdrew, Wen Sheng withdrew his gaze and went directly to the topic.

Zhong Tianzheng smiled when he heard this, picked up the cup of tea in front of Wen Sheng's eyes and handed it to her: "Don't worry, did you come from Ji Nantang, first drink tea to moisten your throat, this was given to me by Murong, tea is good tea, but unfortunately the art of making tea is too rough, and I can't learn it no matter how many times I teach it." ”

Wen Sheng took it, didn't drink it, put it back on the table, and looked at Zhong Tianzheng waiting for him to answer.

Zhong Tianzheng shook his head helplessly: "Feng Songchuan, what do you care about him?" I've promised you that I won't let him return to Beijing alive, well, he won't appear in front of you again, so it's okay. ”

Wen Sheng stared at Zhong Tianzheng for a long time, but still couldn't find any clues from his face.

She thought with some sadness, at such a time, Zhong Tianzheng was still playing his little calculations, and the worst thing was that his lethality had always been good, and she had no way to predict what he wanted to do and who he would hurt in the end.

When this kind of affection of hers was brought to her face, Zhong Tianzheng was stunned, showed concern on his face, and said softly: "What's wrong?" ”

Wen Sheng didn't go around the bush either: "Ah Zheng, you have people everywhere, about the rumors about General Ji, did your people add fuel to the fire?" ”

Zhong Tianzheng's eyes flashed, he picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip slowly, and said, "Who do you think I am, haven't I been fighting bravely these days?" Or did I not do what you commanded me to do? ”

Wen Sheng's eyes were worried. She was really worried at the moment: "I hope this matter really has nothing to do with you." Whether you are avenging your family or the world, please look at the people of Baizhou and so many comrades in the army. Don't pick this kind of time, use this kind of means, to attack General Ji. ”

The atmosphere in the tent was too solemn, Zhong Tianzheng was silent for a long time, and said, "Then I'm going to ask you, do you think Daliang can still be saved?" Tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, in exchange for Emperor Jianzhao's father and son to sit on the throne. If you think about it, the old emperor will be dying, waiting for Yang Haojian to ascend the throne. Even if there are no foreign enemies, the common people have no way to live. ”

He knew that Wen Sheng remembered old accounts and owed the slightest loyalty to Emperor Jianzhao's father and son, and saw that she did not refute it. Slowed down his tone. Persuaded: "General Ji has such a high popularity, when the battle is over, the court will not allow him, then Huai Yingxiang is a lesson from the past." I think Ji Nantang is tactful, he is not a foolish and loyal person, rather than rushing to save his life in the end, it is better to reverse it early. ”

Wen Sheng admits that Zhong Tianzheng's words are reasonable, but. "To be against or not to be against it, it is up to General Ji to make his own decision. Others can persuade him, but they must not force him to comply. ”

Zhong Tianzheng sneered: "It's a pity that some people are born stubborn, no matter how you persuade him, he can't pull back even nine cows." Forget it, I won't tell you, I didn't do this, you can go. ”

Wen Sheng couldn't figure out whether he was referring to Ji Nantang or himself, since he came to Baizhou, she and Zhong Tianzheng didn't meet alone much, so there was naturally less communication.

Zhong Tianzheng was obviously angry, so he gave such an eviction order.

But Wen Sheng was in a lot of trouble at the moment, since the ghost boy had used such a ghost trick, he must have a backhand, and he was really not in the mood to coax Zhong Tianzheng to be happy, and said, "Okay." Then he got up and took his leave.

As expected, that night, there was a Dongyi army of thousands of people quietly approaching the camp here, they didn't want to take advantage of the night to rob the camp, they really wanted to rob the camp, the imperial army was preparing traps and crossbow arrows here, but they were not afraid, these Dongyi people just shot an arrow at the Liang military camp from afar, and then fled.

The lieutenant general of the former battalion ordered a torch to be lit to find out, but saw that all the arrows were tied to letters. The front of the camp fell densely, like snowflakes.

The deputy general asked someone to pick up a few arrows and came back, opened them curiously, all the letters on the arrows were the same content, and the deputy general couldn't help but change color when he saw it, and hurriedly sent them to Ji Nantang.

The persuasion letter of the Dongyi people.

The letter was written in the tone of the commander of Dongyi, saying that the persuasion was actually a little inaccurate, and the letter was extremely praised, saying that they were the most respected and strong in Dongyi, and such a god-like figure as General Ji, although he killed many of them and greatly reduced the strength of Dongyi, but he was the only Liang person they admired. Therefore, they want to turn enemies into friends with General Ji and assist General Ji to take the rivers and mountains of Daliang.

The deputy general couldn't help but sweat coldly, and the Dongyi people refused to give up without putting the general to death.

Ji Nantang read the letter and threw it on the case, and asked all the generals, including Mi Jingyang, to circulate it.

Wen Sheng rushed over when he heard the news, and after reading the letter, he immediately said: "General, please let me call Hua Feizhou, An Minxue and other musicians over to discuss countermeasures." ”

Ji Nantang nodded in agreement.

When Mi Jingyang glanced at Wen Sheng twice, as soon as Wen Sheng mentioned these people, Mi Jingyang understood her intentions, and after thinking about it, he was suddenly a little impressed.

All forces in the army are mixed, this matter is so big, the pressure can't be suppressed, and within a few days, it will add another fire to the rumors, and these musicians are from high backgrounds and have a detached status, so they can be called to give a witness to Ji Nantang.

Hua Feizhou and the others rushed over with sleepy eyes, and they all frowned after reading the letter.

They followed Ji Nantang's army to fight without forgetting to die, and the battlefield was in a good situation, but the enemy commander wanted to use such unpopular means to erase their merits, which was really hateful.

Mi Jingyang said: "General, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”

Ji Nantang sighed slightly: "Ask someone to clean up the front of the camp, come and don't be rude, wait for me to write them a reply." ”

When everyone heard that Ji Nantang was going to write a reply to the ghost boy, they couldn't suppress their curiosity, for fear that the general would not show the reply to everyone. But in fact, they were too worried, Ji Nantang called the soldiers to study ink, waved it in public, and the reply was very simple: he believed that the Dongyi people respected the strong, and the Dongyi people had always been more and more respectful, just look at their relationship with the Ledden Empire now. It's okay to negotiate peace, go to my Liang Criminal Division prison to talk.

Ji Nantang's reply to the letter made everyone feel quite relieved.

Deputy General Meng Zhenguo took the initiative to ask: "General, give me this letter, I will take a team of brothers to kill tonight, and rob a camp by the way." ”

Ji Nantang did not agree: "There is no need to rob the camp, go back and have a good rest, and we will see you on the battlefield with the Dongyi people tomorrow." ”

For the sake of the general, the advantage of the tongue is inferior in the end, and there is no better response than to give the opponent a head-on blow on the battlefield.

The generals understood what Ji Nantang meant, and went back to the tent to rest with all their strength, just waiting for the next day to give the Dongyi people a good look.

But the ghost boy seemed to know Ji Nantang's thoughts, and as soon as Daliang's army pressed the Dongyi people, they began to retreat, which was a full set of dramas, and it looked like they were deliberately evading.

The army advanced for more than 50 miles in one go, and Ji Nantang saw that the terrain was complicated, and the front line was getting longer and longer, so he was worried that he would be taken advantage of by the enemy, so he ordered to stop, gather the army, and assemble for rectification.

The reply letter has also been sent, and I think it will soon fall into the hands of the ghost boy.

Although the ghost boy's discordant plan hit the nail on the head and seemed to have achieved initial results, Ji Nantang was not so worried that the emperor would call him back, and now the war in Baizhou was at a critical juncture, and the imperial court was facing the dilemma of having no generals to send, and most importantly, most of the soldiers under his command at this time were brought to Baizhou by Lu Datong, not his descendants.

Since he came to Baizhou, he has not gone to meet Tong Yongnian, and he has not been without this consideration.

Ji Nantang felt that even if Emperor Jianzhao was jealous of him, he would wait until the battle was over. At that time, the external troubles have been eliminated, and he returned to Beijing to hand over the military power, and it was a big deal to change his position to be an official, and he would not go to the battlefield for the rest of his life.

But only half a month later, a big news came out of Beijing, causing an uproar and shaking the government and the public.

Wang Guangji, who retreated to the Feiyun River, accepted the imperial court's invitation and led the people to surrender.

Probably because of the war on the southeast coast, Emperor Jianzhao was very tolerant of this recruitment, the conditions were generous, and he didn't even care about the assassination of his father and son.

Wang Guangji's subordinates have their own placements.

Emperor Jianzhao even called Wang Er and Wang San out of the queue at the palace banquet because of the recommendation of the second prince, asked them about their life experience, gave them names, and changed their surnames to Yang, which is a posture to be reused.

Wang Guangji surrendered, and the imperial court no longer had to leave so many troops in Jiangbei.

Emperor Jianzhao followed the order, and the second prince Yang Haojian supervised the army in Baizhou, and in addition to the men and horses he brought back to Beijing in Jiangbei, there were also some of Wang Guangji's subordinates. (To be continued......)
