Chapter 188: A good pot to shake off

"Big things are not good! Qin Ming's army was defeated, and the two hundred Xiang troops were completely annihilated! ”

Zhao Cheng's team has not yet returned, and there is no other news for the time being, but it is the official document from Shidai County that has been sent to Chizhou City first.

This couldn't help but make the calves of the two Shangguan tremble. The news is getting worse and worse, and there are all kinds of signs that the bandits' power is getting stronger and stronger.

Theoretically, they have all experienced the heavy setback of the Battle of Xishan, and the death of two hundred Xiang troops is not a big deal in comparison.

But that's not the point, the letter sent back by He Zhi before this, and Wang Huang was everywhere preaching that Zhao Cheng would have an accident sooner or later. There were no surprises followed, and there were signs that Zhao Cheng had already refused to accept the dispatch, and the rigid and self-righteous general was not in a state of being ordered outside, which was definitely not good news for Shangguan.

For the time being, no one dares to mention Zhao Cheng's apostasy. Because first of all, he was a literati, and the Great Song Dynasty generally did not allow such rhetoric. Secondly, he has public opinion, and such a rhythm is not allowed at this juncture. Thirdly, he was appointed by Cai You and Huang Wenping, and admitting that he had an accident means that Cai You and Huang Wenping had made serious mistakes. Fourth, there is no evidence of eggs.

At these points, Wang Huanggong, the son of He Zhi, said that the public was reasonable, but Zhang Ji's mother, who supported Zhao Cheng, said that his mother was reasonable. No one dares to easily conclude that Zhao Cheng is right or wrong. However, the trend of public opinion is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to Zhao Cheng.

If it is not good for Zhao Cheng, of course, it will be bad for Huang Wenbing and Cai You, so now they are extremely jumpy and anxious. I really don't know how these events happened, what role did Zhao Cheng's guy play in them?

What's more, where was the Bi Shijing Division, which had undergone reorganization and training and had the strongest equipment, hidden by Zhao Cheng?

It's not a big problem if this team is really defeated and killed, but if they defect and leave the government, then Cai You and Huang Wenbing's pot will be big.

Regarding the military, it is obvious that Huang Wenbing's responsibility is greater, so now he regrets that he couldn't stabilize at that time, fell into the hands of that kid, and entrusted him with the Chizhou Campaign. It's very helpless that his brain hole and execution are genius-level, and the situation is critical.

This kind of person who is even more helpless is difficult to control once it is not used well, which is relative.

Before this, after he went back on his word and killed Dong Ping, Huang Wenbing had already discovered that something was wrong. did not dare to openly affect the morale of the army, but acquiesced in He Zhi to supervise him, and issued a new order to Qin Ming to be independent, temporarily under the command of Zhao Cheng, and based on He Zhi's opinion.

But even if these measures were taken, Zhao Cheng still saw the stitches and forcibly took the poor person to "leave the case", as for Bi Shijing, he hid it in advance, and he couldn't find it.

However, there is news that Yangshan is Zhao Cheng's glove, and Bi Shijing's troops are likely to be deployed near Yangshan, otherwise they will not be able to replenish the military rations themselves. However, it is easy to say, at this time, the soldiers are in chaos, and Qin Ming is not there. Without the command of the general, who would dare to lead a team out of the city to find Bi Shijing's department?

No one knows whether the forbidden army has defected, even if it is found, assuming that Bi Shijing and they have defected, there is no doubt that the person who found them will definitely be killed first, so at this time, even if they know that they are most likely in Yangshan, no one dares to look for them.

"Zhao Cheng is bad, the warriors who can be used have basically been pitted by him, such as Dong Ping. Of course, Dong Ping's urine nature is known to the official, and it is precisely because he wants to keep him to prevent uncontrollable incidents that the official specially explained that Zhao Cheng could not kill Dong Ping! ”

In the lobby, Huang Wenbing sighed and laughed miserably.

Cai You was worried about the country and the people on the surface, and he twisted his beard to worry with him, but in fact, he thought it was about me. Even if Chizhou really can't control the flood, my Cai family's children will have a bad reputation, and they will still be officials in another place.

But then, Cai You also had a black line on his face, and he was most concerned about how Cai Wenji was doing. Because Shidai County came with an official document instead of a private message, it did not mention what happened to Cai Wenji, a "civilian".

"Wu Zhixiang, an old dog, plays with Benzhou...... I don't know what he meant, but he didn't mention anything about Zhao Cheng's poor team in the official document? ”

Cai You sighed worriedly.

Zhao Cheng obviously still belongs to Cai You's people, and he can't step on it for the time being, so Huang Wenbing held back.

But Lao Huang couldn't help but find fault with the wasp sting, so he squinted his eyes and said, "In my opinion, there are many problems in Shidai County under your Chizhou rule. Presumably, since the thieves who can kill the brave Qin Ming's two hundred Xiang troops must be quite a lot. Wu Zhixiang's letter does not mention it, then the battle must have taken place in the field. So since Wu Zhixiang knew about it for the first time, the official suspected that he led the team in Shidai County to discover the battle between the Xiang army and the thief soldiers, but he did not dare to participate and led the team to flee, which led to the complete rout of the Xiang army. ”

Cai You, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of water, and looked at him in horror: "Wasp sting, do you dare to find more fault with my Chizhou?" ”

Huang Wenbing spread his hands and said: "How can this be the official's fault, the official's speculation is very logical." Since this defeat happened, there must be an inside story and a reason, isn't it? ”

"There's an egg's inside story.,It's still logical."

Cai You waved his hand with an attitude of "you are a child's opinion" and said, "It is clear that your military command is unfavorable, your improper use of personnel, and military defeat can involve you in the government affairs under my Chizhou." Uncle Zhang has a good eye at night, he is trying to push you into Chizhou, are you sure he is not helping Wang Xiu with his work? ”

Huang Wenbing decisively hugged his fist in the direction of Tokyo, "There must be a reason why Shu Yegong did things, and recommended this official to enter Chizhou to maintain stability, which means that he has lost patience and no longer trusts you Jiangdong Army, Liangzhejiang Army and other series." If it weren't for the chaos and corruption of your government affairs, which are inextricably linked, you would have used my Huaixi army to drive into this dung pit to fill it? If it weren't for me, Huang Wenbing, who was not afraid of the powerful and specifically found fault, and specially made you people unhappy, and used Uncle Yegong to push me in? Lord Cai, it's really a good pot. ”

Cai You's old face was slightly red, but Shaoqing pointed to Huang Wenbing's nose and said, "You said it well, so what did you do after he escorted you in?" Are you sure you've changed Chizhou for the better, is it fake that your Wuwei Army has lost all the pants in Xishan? How frustrated is your so-called fierce general Dong Ping, my Chizhou official Zhao Cheng is not afraid of the powerful to kill him, it is reasonable to applaud his hands. ”

The two Shangguan played chess games while drinking tea, and when you went back and forth, the mutual chess path completely lost the popular "reading etiquette" of the Great Song Dynasty.

As a result, the other person who came to report had his mouth half open, and he didn't dare to open his mouth for the time being when he saw that the smell of gunpowder was so strong. But it was a very important military plane, and it did not dare to leave.
