Chapter 118: Di Qing is in charge

In the thousands of years of history of the Chinese nation, there are countless alternating rights, and there are countless strategies and means accumulated in them, and Xu Deshan, choose its advantages and learn, choose its shortcomings and change it, there is no doubt that he is one of the great successes, you see he went to Nong Zhigao here for a turn, not only saved the lives of I don't know how many people, but also inadvertently, put Wen Yanbo together.

Is Xu Deshan's plan good? Of course it's good, it can be said that it is not leaky, the excuse he made for Nong Zhigao and others is simply perfect, it can be said that this excuse can be defended and attacked, according to the usual virtue of the Song Dynasty, Nong Zhigao will not suffer.

Of course, Xu Deshan also said that the imperial court will care about the truth or falsehood of your Nong Zhigao reason, as long as you have the strength, no one dares to say anything even if you say that you are just joking, so what Nong Zhigao has to do now is to further expand his sphere of influence before the arrival of the forbidden army, and come up with a good bargaining chip to negotiate with the imperial court.

After receiving Xu Deshan's all-round guidance, Nong Zhigao and his right-hand man formulated a new battle plan overnight, and Nong Jianhou Nong Zhizhong led the combat troops to quickly advance eastward, directly attacking Xunzhou, Gongzhou, Tengzhou, Wuzhou, Fengzhou, Kangzhou, and Duanzhou. Among the prefectures and capitals, there are few people who resist, and wherever the Nong army goes, the momentum is like a bamboo, and even Nong Zhizhong is a little incredible, and in just half a month, he has already arrived in Guangzhou.

Out of Nong Zhizhong and Nong Jianhou two to advance, Huang Wei and Huang Shimi in the rear are also busy, the two division of labor, Huang Wei is responsible for finding suitable officials to buckle the hat, pour black water on Wen Yanbo, and to the occupied area of Guangda people to promote their new slogan, for their own political orientation to build momentum, while Huang Shimi is responsible for appeasing the officials who captured the prefecture and county, explaining to them their hardships, after some ingenious ideological education, they were put in the Song Dynasty prefecture and county, and their new slogan was blown to Kaifeng.

At this time, thanks to the non-resistance policy of the state and county in the past, the three methods pointed out by Xu Deshan to Nong Zhigao were almost realized, first, Nong Zhigao took advantage, if it wasn't for Chen Hui's delay, I'm afraid that the current Nong Zhigao has become an official of the Song Dynasty. The second point is similar, if you think about it, the officials here are almost to the point of fleeing from the wind for Nong Zhigao's troops, almost how fast Nong Zhigao's horse can run, how much territory Nong Zhigao occupies, if this expansion speed is called slow, then no one can call it fast.

As for the most important third point, Huang Shimi has also made arrangements, he found out a person named Ding Baocheng in the list of past state officials, Ding Baocheng is the governor of Duanzhou, when Nong Zhizhong broke Duanzhou, Ding Baocheng was about to abandon the city and flee after a little resistance, but the horse was injured and was caught by Nong Zhizhong.

This Ding Baocheng has no ability, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but after checking Ding Baocheng's resume, Huang Shimi found that Ding Baocheng and Wen Yanbo are Jinshi of the same department, so it will be easy to do, Ding Baocheng is the one who obeyed Wen Yanbo's instructions and forced Nong Zhigao to rebel.

Its practical toes can also be thought of, Wen Yanbo is the pride of the sky, a famous family, and Ding Baocheng, mixed for a long time to mix a remote place of Zhizhou, the two have a little relationship, Ding Baocheng will not fall to such a point, but still responded to Xu Deshan's words, I am framed, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as there is a relationship, the basin can be deducted on the head!

Originally, Ding Baocheng saw that the enemy caught him, he didn't fight or scold, he ate and drank well, and he was happy, but after a day, the people who were caught with him were fine, but he just caught himself out, took a piece of paper and asked himself to draw a charge, Ding Baocheng took a closer look, Mom, the charges on it, I can't admit it if I kill myself, and I forced Nong Zhigao to rebel for a long time.

However, Ding Baocheng didn't think about it, he was a scholar, and he didn't even have the courage to defend the city, but now that he was caught by others, could he still play flowers in the hands of others? Huang Shimi hasn't tortured Ding Baocheng yet, Ding Baocheng is already so frightened that he rushed to sign and draw on the paper, and admitted this unjust crime.

Speaking of which, it is also pitiful for this Ding Baocheng, this person is a little greedy for money, a little lustful, a little timid, a little cowardly, and the others really have no shortcomings, after being used as a scapegoat by Huang Shimi, in order to implement the evidence of the crime, so that he could not overturn the case, Huang Shimi directly set up a bureau for Ding Baocheng, and asked Ding Baocheng to admit in public the story that Huang Shimi made up for him, and before Ding Baocheng could react, the person arranged by Huang Shimi cut down Ding Baocheng with a knife, resulting in Ding Baocheng's life.

Ding Baocheng died, but this basin was firmly buckled on Ding Baocheng's head, and at the same time, it also splashed Wen Yanbo, who was far away in Kaifeng.

When Wen Yanbo heard the news, Wen Yanbo was so angry in his heart, he said what his identity was, Mo said that he had just been promoted to prime minister, and his current rights were enough to enjoy himself for half a day, where would he still have time to form a gang, even if he formed a gang by himself, he would have to win over the members of the court, princes and nobles, even if it was not good, he would have to start from the officials of the third, fourth and fifth grades of the state roads, but what kind of thing is Ding Baocheng, Duanzhou Zhizhou, A place in Guangxi where I had to lie on the map for a long time and go crazy

If you want to contact him in a hurry, you can't open your eyes.

This truth, everyone can see and understand, but to see is to understand, but according to the traditional thinking of the Chinese, a slap does not make a sound, how can people say that they have a connection with you Wen Yanbo and not others, there must be some connection between you, flies do not bite seamless eggs, as long as people rely on you, you are at fault.

Wen Yanbo was depressed in his heart, he was wronged to death now, and he had nowhere to say if he wanted to reason, not to mention who he was, a great literati, and didn't the sage teach us that the pure are self-pure, and the turbid are self-turbid, the explanation is to cover up, so Wen Yanbo can't open his mouth to argue for himself, he can only pretend to be a high look, and is visited by people every day.

Of course, when people look at it, Wen Yanbo should not have seen it, but what makes Wen Yanbo feel most unhappy is that the eyes of Emperor Zhao Zhen looking at him have changed in the past two days, although Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, but Wen Yanbo has already felt that Zhao Zhen has been a little distrustful of himself at the beginning, and he doesn't speak, which is Zhao Zhen's consistent style of handling political affairs, and I am afraid that he is now thinking about how to replace himself in his heart.

Although I guessed it, but can Wen Yanbo speak, of course not, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty has always been played in front of everyone in turn, if he refutes it, wouldn't it seem that he is in love with the powerful, not to mention that the position of the prime minister is really eye-catching, in charge of national affairs, if the emperor even changes the prime minister will be resisted, then Wen Yanbo is probably not just facing a job rotation.

Therefore, the smart Wen Yanbo chose to forbear, and the consequence of Wen Yanbo's forbearance was that the coach who originally advocated Wen Yanbo to exterminate Nong Zhigao was replaced unconsciously.

Now that Wen Yanbo is already the prime minister, it is impossible for him to take command of the southern expedition again, so Wen Yanbo has to select one of his close factions to serve as the coach, and at the beginning, the candidate recommended by Wen Yanbo for counterinsurgency was Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi Fourth Road pacification envoy, Sun Wei.

This Sun Wei is a Jinshi in the third year of Tianxi, and he has some talents, plus he can cater to the wishes of his superiors, and after being a lower-level official for a few years, he started from supervising the imperial history and worked his way up to the position of pacification envoy.

However, although Sun Weiguan is not slow to rise, but the means are the means, and the ability is the ability, you see the bigwigs gathered in the capital, although they seem to have some shortcomings, but the people themselves are capable, no matter which position they are placed in, they can handle this matter in an orderly manner, and they are simply neat, and Sun Wei is obviously still a lot away from such a realm, so Sun Wei has been an official for so many years, but they are all foreign officials, and he has not even been a Beijing official for one term.

It is also the name of the pacification envoy, but the pacification envoy and the pacification envoy are not the same, Sun Wei's pacification envoy seems to have a lot of territory, and he has enough jurisdiction over Silu Prefecture and County, but looking at the actual position, Sun Wei doesn't even have the official title of a governor, and what he can do is probably only "pacify".

In the Song Dynasty, what appeased the envoy made a lot of such a fictitious title, think about the Jia Chang Dynasty, that is the matter of the appeasement envoy Yu Lu Zhi Daimyo's mansion, the real hand covers the sky, and Sun Wei, hanging a placating envoy's false title, I am afraid that only when the imperial court will issue benefits at the annual meeting, Sun Wei's name will appear on the roster.

After enjoying the taste of power, I am afraid that few people can get out of it, so Sun Wei is also very dissatisfied with his current situation, and is actively seeking change, this is not Wen Yanbo has just become the prime minister, and there are not many available people under him, Sun Wei saw the opportunity, and hurriedly sent a letter, between words, praising Wen Yanbo for being unparalleled in the world, and also expressing his loyalty.

Wen Yanbo still has some impression of Sun Wei, Sun Wei is tall and has a few beards, which makes people look quite heroic, Wen Yanbo called Sun Wei over to talk about it, Sun Wei secretly patted Wen Yanbo a few sycophants, and suddenly called Wen Yanbo to feel that Sun Wei's talent and learning can also be of great use, so this time Nong Zhigao rebelled, Wen Yanbo thought of Sun Wei for the first time.

Why Sun Wei? There's no way, who told Sun Wei that he still has the fictitious title of Guangxi and Guangdong pacification envoy, even if it is a fictitious title, it is also related No, the Guangxi rebellion, shouldn't it be Sun Chun who went to quell the rebellion, and as for Sun Chun, he has no real ability, can he be competent, obediently, how many rebels can there be, and as long as the central government sends hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, it is a pig sitting on a chair, and he can also get his merits, and once the merits are in hand, this will not become Sun Wei's ability, see who can still talk nonsense.

Therefore, since the war report was transmitted to the imperial court, Wen Yanbo led a group of officials under his command to push Sun Wei, and in front of Zhao Zhen, Sun Wei said that Sun Wei was rare in the sky and unparalleled in the ground.

When dealing with government affairs in ordinary times, the prime minister's suggestion is definitely the emperor's first choice, but this time the counterinsurgency must be a matter of great importance, so Zhao Zhen hesitated for two days, and this hesitation, the rumors from the south reached Zhao Zhen's ears, Zhao Zhen was originally a suspicious person, and he was suspicious when he was a little troubled, and now it's okay, Wen Yanbo is involved in such a big matter, how can Zhao Zhen look at him pleasing to the eye, so Sun Zhen's matter of being handsome has dragged on.

Southwest rebellion, Nong Zhigao's rebels swept Guangxi, what a big deal, but Zhao Zhen just didn't speak, things

It's like this, with Wen Yanbo's cleverness, he won't know that if he drags on for a day, Zhao Zhen will be more dissatisfied with himself, and he will be sad in the future, so he can't sit down in the position of prime minister anymore, so Wen Yanbo casually found an excuse like Zhao Zhen to resign as prime minister.

During the Song Dynasty, it was common to come down from important positions such as prime minister, privy envoy, etc., and it was not a shame, not to mention that Wen Yanbo was on the cusp, and Zhao Zhen agreed to Wen Yanbo's resignation without blinking his eyes, and asked Wen Yanbo to be a college student in Longtuge, and the one who succeeded Wen Yanbo was Zhao Zhen's father-in-law, Pang.

Speaking of Pang nationality, the whole court, especially the gentleman's party's attitude towards Pang nationality is simply disgusting, no way, who called Pang nationality's teacher is Xia Zhu, who has been criticized by the entire gentleman group as a whole, even if Pang nationality is also an orthodox Jinshi background, and Fan Zhongyan also has some friendship, but it is usual, and now he has become the prime minister of the head of a hundred officials, how can these gentleman's protégés look at the past.

However, I have to say that Pang Ji is definitely a capable person, and the most important thing Pang Ji faced after taking office was Nong Zhigao's rebellion, and the candidate recommended by Pang Ji to Zhao Zhen was Di Qing, a character that hundreds of officials did not want to see.

In the Song Dynasty, the literati group has always despised the martial arts, and it has always been like this in the previous decades, but recently, there is a person who has broken such a situation, this person is Di Qing, Di Qing is from the army, not even a martial artist, but a martial artist, after many years of fighting in the northwest, he actually sat all the way to the position of the privy deputy envoy, and now it is good, except for a few top figures in the court, the rest of the hundred officials, after seeing Di Qing, actually want to salute this army, the heart of the hundred officials, Not to mention how awkward it is.

As for the relationship between Di Qing and Pang Ji, it is also very close, I think Di Qing was a soldier in the northwest at the beginning, and Pang Ji was the prefect of Yanzhou at that time, the observer envoy was Di Qing's top boss, Pang Ji appreciated Di Qing, and promoted Di Qing a lot, and now one is the prime minister, the other is the privy deputy envoy, and the two can be said to control half of the government.

It is precisely because of this that after Pang nominated Di Qing as a candidate for counterinsurgency, he was attacked on a large scale from the Junzi group, from Pang Di Qing's life to style, from politics to culture, the two were criticized as incomplete, and finally came to only one conclusion, that is, Di Qing could not go to Guangxi.

Regarding this conclusion of the hundred officials, Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, and then asked softly, "You say, besides Di Qing, who else can arrest Nong Zhigao for me, the current Nong Zhigao, but he has already surrounded Guangzhou." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen's attitude had already been indicated, so the hundred officials had nothing to say, because they really didn't want to offend Zhao Zhen, and at the same time, they couldn't think of anyone who could be more qualified than Di Qing for this job.

However, even if Di Qing is handsome, but those literati have not given up, there are three envoys Han Jiang out of class, in front of Di Qing said, "Your Majesty, our dynasty has never had a precedent of a martial artist being a handsome man since ancient times, if Di Qing is the commander, the minister thinks it is necessary to choose another supervisor to supervise Di Qing's words and deeds, don't let Di Qing be arbitrary, and break military discipline!" ”

When Di Qing heard this, his eyes were on fire, he was filled with righteous indignation, and he stared at Han Jiang deadly, but Yang Jiang, as the third envoy, was among the few people who were above Di Qing, so he turned a deaf ear to Di Qing's anger.

Di Qing was recommended by Pang Ji, Pang Ji hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this time Nong Zhigao rebelled, the momentum was huge, in just half a month, it has swept Guangxi, besieged Guangzhou, 100,000 urgent, and Di Qing started from dogs and horses, he knows how to deal with it, if he rehearses the army, I am afraid that the two are not in harmony, and the government orders are different, and when the time comes, the fighter plane will be delayed, and the Nong Zhigao rebels will be cheapened in vain." ”

Now it's okay, with the two of them at the beginning, the court suddenly quarreled again, the hundred officials each found a target, fired freely, half a day, and it passed like this, and in the end, Di Qing's boss who quarreled didn't take it seriously, so he could only delay it until tomorrow.

The officials in the DPRK are not in a hurry, no matter how powerful the rebels of Nong Zhigao are, that is, they are walking around the place where the birds don't in Liangguang, can he cross the Yangtze River? Will he be able to cross the Yellow River? Naturally not, so what about Liangguang has nothing to do with his own dime.

But Zhao Zhen is different, although Liangguang is remote, but it is also his own land, his minister is so nonsense, don't really take Liangguang away from Nong Zhigao, so Zhao Zhen called the top bigwigs such as the prime minister's privy envoy and the third envoy Yushi into the palace overnight, and made it clear that you don't want to leave if you can't discuss the results today, so the rebels discussed with Han Jiang for a long time, and finally compromised with each other.

Di Qing, still the generalissimo, the envoy of the southern festival, can control all the military and political affairs in Huguang during the counterinsurgency, and as a compromise of Pang's nationality, Sun Wei, who was nominated by Wen Yanbo before, became Di Qing's deputy marshal, although this deputy marshal is not as good as the supervising army can control Di Qing, but whenever there is a military situation, Sun Wei must also know about it, and has the right to report it directly.

This is the result of the final negotiation between the two sides, whether Di Qing wants it or not, the matter is also finalized with Zhao Zhen's order, and then, just wait for the soldiers and horses to gather people and horses and embark on the journey south.
