Chapter 217: There Are No Winners in Brawl

"Cloud Daily" took the lead in publishing this article, entitled "The Noble Son Fights for the Wind and Gets Jealous, and the Officials and Soldiers Angrily Smash the Restaurant", which is obviously an eye-catching topic, which makes the "Cloud Daily", which has been a sluggish sales, soar three times overnight, but the mainstream media with the best sales are invariably silent.

Careful people found the clue that the proprietors behind these silent newspapers are the Liu family, the Cao family, the Pan family, and the largest newspaper "Xin Pao" led by Liu Zhenglong. But this is obviously an attempt to cover up, resulting in this article not directly pointing to the Pan family at all, the Cao family's article has a greater influence, and the spearhead is gradually pointed at the Cao family under the leadership of people with hearts, after all, Cao Sheng, the youngest son of the Cao family, is the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture.

The Cao family rarely remained silent this time, this is the strategy of the old man Cao, in his opinion, Cao Sheng can hand over the position of the prefect, as for this storm, the most headache should be the Pan family, after all, the children of the Pan family are the core of this storm.

The matter is even more serious than Old Man Cao imagined, since Wang Hao was executed, the civil official group has been holding back enough energy to fight against Liu Zhenglong, but it has never been able to find a chance, especially after Li Bangyan went to the northwest, there is no chance.

Now that they have seized such a good opportunity, how can these guys let go of such a good opportunity? Zhang Bangchang took the initiative to take the lead this time, not because he had a grudge against Liu Zhenglong, but mainly because he took the money from the Qian family, and he couldn't do anything if he didn't do anything.

Cai Jing chose to be silent this time, for the old man, the last time he helped Liu Zhenglong get out of trouble and finally went to Guangzhou, even if he was benevolent and righteous, the transaction was over, and then it was the destiny of each other, no one owed anyone, and no one cared about anyone.

Bai Shizhong, Wu Min, Fan Zhixu, Li Gang, Nie Shan, etc. all wrote articles and published them in newspapers, ostensibly just commenting on what happened in Hangzhou, but in fact the spearhead was aimed at the Pan family, the Cao family, and of course, the most important thing was to attack Liu Zhenglong. These important ministers are still relatively subtle, but Li Di and Zheng Wangzhi, two shameless people, openly pointed the finger at Liu Zhenglong, which made the matter bigger.

Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, Feng Lu, Sun Fu, Mei Zhili, and Xu Bingzhe These six guys even went to the official family to complain, and they directly targeted the meritorious family, expanding this battle infinitely.

At this time, the Cao family finally couldn't sit still, and the old man Cao and the four major families began to fight back in the newspaper, ostensibly saying that the Qian family raised private soldiers to attack the yamen inside, but actually implied that the Qian family raised private soldiers with the intention of rebellion, which completely burned the flames of war. For a time, the court was divided into two groups, the civil official group was the main attack, and the meritorious family defended, and the two families were very happy, and each used the relationship to burn the war to the palace, which made the official family upset.

As soon as the official family heard Qian Guifei's complaints, they saw their sister Rouhui Emperor Ji, and they all said that they were ruthless emperors. But the official family has a good relationship with this sister, and when he saw his sister crying and crying, he said with concern: "Imperial sister, what's wrong, who bullied you, I am the master for you." ”

"Brother Huang, if you don't call the shots for your sister, your sister will be bullied to death!" Emperor Rouhui will complain coquettishly, she cried while telling Pan Yu about it, of course, all of them were good things for her son.

In the end, Emperor Rouhui cried and said: "That nephew of yours has been a troublemaker since he was a child, and last time he was jealous of others, and broke the legs of the sons of Xu Guogong's family." This time he just wanted to redeem an Oiran, this kid had a mouth of 100,000 yuan, but the lion of the Qian family asked for 1 million, and he himself ransomed himself, otherwise the whole person would be imprisoned. Brother Huang, you know, where can your nephew stand this kind of wretchedness, and as a result, he had a dispute with the young master of the Qian family, the Qian family is powerful, Pan Yu, a bastard boy, privately asked the officials of the government to help, who didn't expect that more than a dozen officials were beaten with broken arms and legs, and then more than 300 officials were beaten away, and then what happened, you know, Cao Sheng was afraid that Pan Yu would have an accident and would not be able to deal with him, so he finally asked the forbidden army to come forward. ”

The face of the official family became extremely ugly, what is the concept of the three hundred officials being beaten away, is this a rebellion? As for the rest, it was simply ignored.

All dynasties were very afraid of private soldiers, especially the Song Dynasty, since the Song Dynasty Taizu added the yellow robe, followed by a glass of wine to release the military power, and it has been strictly forbidden for the following magnates to raise private soldiers. This is the reason why Zhu Mian was eliminated in the first place, and what does the Qian family mean now.

Seeing that the official family was angry, Emperor Rouhui knew that the eye medicine was almost up, and she was secretly proud in her heart, the most stupid thing for the Qian family was to burn the flames of war to the palace. You must know that the fundamental reason why the meritorious family has been prosperous is that it has been married to the royal family, since the beginning of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the disciples of the four major families married the princess, and it has become the norm for the concubine to enter the palace. The most powerful forces of the Meritorious Family are not in the army, but in the Imperial Palace.

As soon as the flames of war entered the palace, the meritorious families led by the four major families began a comprehensive counterattack, which was not possessed by the civilian official group.

After the war burned to the palace, the four major families were not in a hurry, and they stabilized their positions, but a wave of unsettled waves rose again, and the official Shangshu Wang Shiyong joined the war group, and this problem became a big problem.

Anyway, Liu Zhenglong's main position is the right attendant of the ministry, and Wang Shiyong, the secretary of the ministry, is his top boss, and this guy joins the war group, which indicates that Liu Zhenglong has been completely abandoned by the entire civil official group.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the biggest taboo for civil officials was to be abandoned by their superiors, and once they were impeached by their superiors, whether they were right or wrong, they would be dismissed from their posts, and they would be discussed after the review was clear. Wang Shiyong, the official boss of the Ministry of Officials, was impeached, and Liu Zhenglong's main post as the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials was about to be removed. Once the position of the right attendant of the ministry is relieved, it will become a joke to pay homage to the prince in the future, and the door of the political hall will be completely closed.

Bastard, Pan Xu's face turned blue, and the old man gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Shiyong, you really regard yourself as a character, Lao Tzu pinched you to death like pinching a bedbug to death, I really thought that the commander of the meritorious family shouted, I really thought that there was no precedent for killing civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and Lao Tzu killed you." ”

Pan Yun also promoted this matter, but she couldn't add fuel to the fire, so she said: "Father, don't be angry, leave the murder to Ah Long." The root of this matter lies in the Qian family, and we should clean up the Qian family's forces in the capital. Suppressing Qian Guifei in the palace is the last word. As for Wang Shiyong, it's just a clown jumping off the beam, don't pay attention to him. ”

Pan Xu also calmed down at this time, and he said: "You go back first, I'll discuss it with a few others, anyway, this time we must let the civil official group and the Qian family know that the strength of the meritorious family is not something they can provoke." ”

Counterattack, the four major families quickly reached a consensus, the palace's counterattack was brought forward by the Shi family, you must know that Shi Guifei is competing with Qian Guifei for favor, and it is most normal for their Shi family to initiate. As for clearing the Qian family's power in the capital. That is naturally the Cao family taking the lead, this counterattack is a thunderous momentum, not to mention the Qian family, when the four major families are in full swing, even the ministers of the political hall can't bear it.

Just when the Qian family's forces were about to be cleared out, something happened in Hebei that made the officials angry, that is, the friction in Hebei was extremely prosperous, and it developed from a small-scale conflict to a struggle of thousands of people. What made the officials most angry was that every inch of the battle was initiated by the Jin army, but every defeat was the Song army. It is almost impossible to describe it as repeated defeats, which is definitely not something that the emperor can bear.

What did Tong Guan do to eat, at this time, the official family remembered Liu Zhenglong again, if he was born in Hebei, how could Song Jun be slaughtered like a lamb.

Not to mention repeated defeats, in fact, it is much more complicated than what is written in the official newspaper. It's not a conflict at all, it's more of a war, but it's just not a siege. Before and after, the Song army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and if it spread, it would be a big scandal.

Tong Guan didn't know why the Jin army kept provoking, and as long as the Song army left the city, even tens of thousands would be attacked by the Jin army, and every attack was a complete kill, which was the most infuriating thing.

The Song army in the north of Yanshan was almost cleaned up, and only a few thousand garrisons in the south of Yanshan remained.

Tong Guan gave a death order so that Lu Qi, the capital commander in the south of Yanshan, resolutely could not retreat, and of course could not clash with the Jin army. This inconsistent order made Lu Qi in a dilemma, but this guy was frightened by the Jin army and did not dare to clash with the Jin army.

The people in the imperial court didn't know what the situation of the Jin army was, but the officials of the Song army in Hebei knew how strong the Jin army was, and they were afraid of the enemy like a tiger.

Lu Qi's incompetence made Han Shizhong, the head of the scout, look down on him, but Han Shizhong was relatively calm and unwilling to turn his face with the leader, just doing his own job.

The Hutuo River is the last line of defense of the Song army in the south of Yanshan, once this line of defense is broken, then the Song army will completely control the city and Yanshan. No matter how afraid of the enemy is, Lu Qi doesn't want to take responsibility, so the daily patrol is never less, and he directly sends Han Shizhong, who is not dealing with him, to patrol.

On the tenth day of October in the sixth year of Xuanhe, on this day, the cold sky was full of snowflakes, and the north wind was blowing very quickly, it can be said that the cold wind was biting, despite this, Han Shizhong still led more than 100 scouts under his command to patrol the Hutuo River, to be honest, he has been very aggrieved recently, I don't know what the reason is that he has not been paid for three months, and the scouts below have already complained, if it is not for the prestige on weekdays, maybe there will be some chaos.

Scout Xiao Ding muttered in his mouth: "In such a cold weather, there is not even a mouse on the ground, and if you come out to patrol a fart, the Jin Army will definitely not come out." ”

Scout Xiao Song said: "You just shut up, that Jin people live in the ice and snow, no matter how cold the weather is, they will come out, and it seems that the colder this group of guys is, the more they will move." What we should be most concerned about is when we will get the salary, so I don't want to do it anymore, I really want to go back to my hometown to hug my wife. ”

"You two shut up, you're not in a good mood these days, everyone else has led the army, and we're left with the scout team that lives and dies, isn't it that Luffy who gave us little shoes to wear?" Scout Lao Li should have retired a long time ago, but this guy has no relatives and no reason, it is better to stay in the army when he goes back, he knows that Han Shizhong is difficult to mix, but in these years, integrity and heroism have a fart, no good, who wants to be a scout to die.

Hearing these words, if it had been in normal times, the leather whip in Han Shizhong's hand would have been pumped over, but now he is not even in the mood to beat people. This is just a microcosm of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, which shows how serious **** is, how to face the wolf-like Jin Army when you enter the team like this?

The group of officials and masters in the imperial court sang and danced, and they didn't believe that the Jin army would go south, but Han Shizhong, who was on the front line, firmly believed that the Jin army would definitely go south, and it wouldn't take too long. After all, the reason why the Jin army on the Hebei side kept provoking was to test the reality of the Great Song Dynasty. But this group of uncompetitive things is repeatedly defeated, fearing the enemy like a tiger, how can this situation not fuel the Jin people's ambition to attack the Great Song Dynasty?

However, he is a small capital, and it is difficult to control the hundreds of people under him, how can he control the overall situation, how can he fight against the Jin army? Now Han Shizhong is a little discouraged, but this guy firmly believes that this is only temporary, as long as the army of Liu Zhenglong, the Duke of Qin, goes out, it will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army, which is beyond doubt.

Soldiers worship heroes and worship the strong, this Han Shizhong is no exception, in this guy's heart, Liu Zhenglong is the sky, only this kind of big hero is the savior of the Great Song Dynasty, and he can fight against the Jin army.

How did Yunzhou recover, all the court knew was that it was fortunate to recover Yunzhou, after all, it didn't spend money to redeem it, and it earned face for the Great Song Dynasty. But Han Shizhong, who was fighting in Hebei, knew that there were originally 35,000 vassal troops and 20,000 Jin troops in Yunzhou, but after Yunzhou was lost, there were only a few hundred Jin troops who ran back, and they were still scarred.

Although he didn't cut off the heads of the two defeated generals, Wan Yan Xian didn't intend to let go of these two nephews, and all the spoils of these two guys were confiscated, not only that, but the women who were robbed were also given to Wan Yan Zongwang, Wan Yan Zonghan and other generals.

No matter how the outside world explained the Yunzhou incident, Han Shizhong, who was born as a scout, knew that the Jin army must have suffered a battle of annihilation in Yunzhou that almost wiped out the entire army, and Western Xia did not have this ability. The troops that can take down the 20,000 cavalry of the Jin Army are only the Longwei Army under Liu Zhenglong.
