Chapter 221: Yang Ye's troubles
Zhao Kuangyin's army advanced very slowly to the south, and every time it occupied a city, it had to stop and rest, and it was said that the soldiers should have a good rest in order to fight again.
This is all the idea that Zhao Pu gave to Zhao Kuangyin hidden in the shadows, seeing that it has entered the summer, and the weather in the south is getting hotter and hotter, which just gives Zhao Kuangyin a reason to rub it off.
Shen Yilun, who is in charge of the transfer of land in the city, can also delay it, even if he hands over some small towns to Yang Ye, he will collect all the local grain and grass.
There are many lakes and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the traffic between many regions is by boats.
Shen Yilun, under the instruction of Zhao Kuangyin, not only collected all the grain and grass everywhere he went, but also transported all the ships that could be taken away.
The ships that could not be transported were destroyed on the spot, or in the name of preventing the remaining Southern Tang forces from causing chaos.
As for Yang Ye, he is an impatient and has a hot temper, if it weren't for the little emperor Guo Zongxun's explicit order not to allow Yang Ye to find Zhao Kuangyin, I am afraid that Yang Ye would have gone to the front line to quarrel with Zhao Kuangyin.
This can also be regarded as a test given by Guo Zongxun to Yang Ye, to see how capable this Yang Linggong, who is loyal to the history of the family.
"Brother Yang, junior brother thinks that you are trapped in it, in fact, this matter is very simple to deal with, I will give you an idea, from tomorrow, you will no longer send people to urge Shen Yilun, but turn your head to rectify the city that has been received, Your Majesty hopes to see not that you will soon receive the city that Marshal Zhao has brought down, but that I want to see you manage all the places you receive."
During the time when Dugu Sheng returned to Kaifeng, in addition to looking for Lu Siniang and Nalan Yi to compare swords, he was abused by these two beauties enough, and the rest of the time was either training soldiers in the military camp of the Guards Division, or chatting with Liu Bowen and Wei Zhongxian.
This is not to say that Dugu Sheng has become gregarious, but the order given to him by the little emperor Guo Zongxun.
"Dugu Sheng, I have high hopes for you, the way of the sword is not only the only way to practice the sword, everything in life has spirituality, it is all Taoism, and it will eventually come together, that is, whether your understanding is enough, how can you exercise your understanding, then you have to find someone who is higher than your wisdom to learn, so it is impossible to be self-contained, pretentious, when you are fine, you had better find Liu Bowen and them, these people are not a little smarter than you."
followed Liu Bowen and Wei Zhongxian for a while, Liu Bowen, Wei Zhongxian and others also knew that the little emperor wanted to cultivate Dugusheng as a confidant, so he would be tapped from time to time, which really benefited Dugusheng a lot, and he really realized a lot of things on the way to the sword.
Dugu Sheng has also tasted the sweetness, what His Majesty said is definitely right, His Majesty sent me to Jinling, and let me be closer to Yang Ye, does it also mean to let Yang Ye guide me.
Inspired by Guo Zongxun, Dugusheng finally got rid of his self-contained cultivation and began his path to the world.
Therefore, compared with Yang Ye, Dugusheng knows more about the mind of the little emperor Guo Zongxun, and he can be regarded as learning and selling.
"Brother Xian, the will given to me by His Majesty is to receive the city and land occupied by Marshal Zhao as soon as possible, and the result is ...... now"
Yang Ye didn't seem to have turned a corner, and Dugu Sheng simply interrupted him directly.
"Brother Yang, the current situation is that Shen Yilun is deliberately delaying, and we have no way to deal with him, then, in this case, he is not an enemy, and he can't go to war directly, instead of consuming with him, it is better to rectify the cities and villages and towns that have been received first, you must know that Shen Yilun's set of searching for light and collecting light will inevitably cause a popular uprising, and when the time comes, it is not your Brother Yang who is in a hurry to receive these places, but Shen Yilun begging you to accept them quickly."
The reason why Dugu Sheng can say this is that he naturally has his confidence, Dongchang Jinyi Wei Jinling Station was established long before Zhao Kuangyin captured Jinling, and the current power has penetrated into Nanchang, where Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is located, and even farther away.
These are all plans that Guo Zongxun ordered Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang to start a long time ago, on the one hand, to spy more on the local intelligence, and on the other hand, to deal with Zhao Kuangyin.
Yang Ye's eyes widened, his mind seemed to be a little unable to turn, and he was stunned for a long time before he sighed and said:
"Brother Xian, can you achieve what you said? What if Shen Yilun keeps delaying, wouldn't it be that I, Yang Ye, have failed to complete the task entrusted by His Majesty? ”
Dugu Sheng drank all the wine in the cup and said:
"Brother Yang, don't think about it so much, what Your Majesty wants is for you to gain a firm foothold on the south bank of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, just in case, you'd better not worry, this thing should actually be done by civilian officials, but Your Majesty has now sent all of them to military generals, and you want to integrate the military and government in the local area, if you don't understand what you can't do, you can go to the local civil officials, I believe there will be many capable people who are willing to seize this opportunity to actively express themselves."
Yang Ye smiled bitterly:
"Your Majesty's strategy of governing the country is really an eye-opener for Wei Chen, but Your Majesty attaches so much importance to military generals, it is a good thing for us, let the civilian officials take care of us, then we can only consider ourselves unlucky, now it's okay, at least I can give orders to those civil officials."
Dugusheng threw away the wine glass and said with a smile:
"Don't talk about this, I had a good fight with Brother Yang today, I was very happy, and I drank almost this wine, so it's better for us to ......"
Yang Ye also smiled:
"If you don't understand something, maybe you will figure it out after a fight, and if you still don't understand it after a fight, then you will fight again, haha, the foolish brother can meet the virtuous brother, but it is really too late to see each other."
Yang Ye and Dugusheng came to the small martial arts arena again.
"Brother Xian, I don't know how your kung fu is, why don't we have a night battle on horseback tonight, after all, Brother Fool is a military general on the horse, and going into battle is the right way."
In the past, Dugu Sheng would definitely not do it, but now his thinking has changed a lot, the way of the sword is indeed boundless, who can say that he can't comprehend the way of the sword in the battle right away.
"Since Brother Yang has this idea, I dare to disobey my fate, junior brother, let's have a hearty night battle with Brother Yang tonight."
Of course, Guo Zongxun, who was far away in Kaifeng, didn't know that Yang Ye and Dugusheng were familiar at first sight, and in the imperial study of the palace late at night, Sanxiang, Liu Bowen, Li Tongjie and Wei Zhongxian were all there, and there was also the newly appointed Shangshu Ma Yilin of the Criminal Department.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels strange about this case, but after thinking about it, he can't figure it out, and the minister is panicked, so he can only submit the letter to the province for a three-phase decision."
Fan Zhen followed and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister received the excerpt from Ma Shangshu, and also felt that the matter was very important, and after discussing with the Wang Xiang and Wei Xiang, he still decided to report to His Majesty overnight, and the ministers were also confused about this case, only some simple ideas, and the ministers were ashamed."
Guo Zongxun looked at the three phases with a guilty face and Ma Yilin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and said with a smile:
"You don't have to blacken yourself, you did the right thing this time, there are indeed many suspicious points in this case, Ma Aiqing, let's talk about it first, tell us the whole story of the case in detail."
