Chapter 209: Sending troops to Jizhou
When Su Yuanjing heard this, he immediately took it all and said: "What are the requirements, Lord Du, but it doesn't matter, Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, and the rest of the Privy Council are the same, as long as it is not an excessive request, there is no problem." β
Ye Ling smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, my lord's request is absolutely reasonable, first, I don't ask for an increase in personnel in addition to the original people and horses on this trip, as long as the people and horses in Jizhou and Jingzhou are dispatched by me; Second, this operation must be completely under my command, even Wei Taishou in Jizhou and Luo Taishou in Jingzhou must not be violated; Thirdly, there must be no delay in the required military supplies. β
After hearing this, Su Yuanjing nodded again and again and said: "Okay, okay, that's right, you don't need Your Majesty for this matter, the lower official can guarantee the decision, please send troops as soon as possible, and the lower official will go back immediately to report to Your Majesty." β
Both of them laughed and were very satisfied with this, but Su Yuanjing only thought that Ye Ling was a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, where did he think that he was using the power of the imperial court to deal with his enemies, and by the way, he had to dig the corners of the imperial court, which was definitely a costless move.
Murong Rongda saw that the business had been negotiated, and hurriedly invited Su Yuanjing to the table, and everyone dispersed happily.
The next day, Su Yuanjing took people back to Beijing to resume his life, and Ye Ling also packed up his people, bid farewell to Murong Zhoumu, and left Qingzhou City with the army.
Of course, Ye Ling had already arranged for someone to inform Liangshan Wu Yonggongsun Shenglin Chongchao Gai Li Ying and others, informing them that Wang Qingtianhu's scourge had been lifted, and the caravan could resume its operations, continue to accumulate strength, be ready, and wait for him to give orders.
Wu Yong and the others were naturally overjoyed, and immediately acted according to their orders, only the old traitor was upset in his heart - this Ye Ling went down the mountain, he thought that his opportunity had come, and at the same time secretly cursed Ye Ling in his heart to encounter danger earlier, where did he think that Ye Ling would actually break through outside, and quietly obtain the official position he had dreamed of in his life, which made him jealous and angry.
But Wu Yong, the current temporary leader of the mountain, was extremely strict with him, and almost didn't let him do any positions with actual power - in the name of respecting Brother Song, how could he let his brother do such vulgar things?
This made Song Jiang, who has always been cunning and thick, speechless, this trick was originally what he was best at, but Wu was never below him with this ability, plus the advantage of occupying the 'home field', so he ate him to death, during the time that Ye Ling went down the mountain, the two fought wits and courage in various ways, and in the end, they were defeated.
Later, the old traitor wanted to find some foreign aid to come over, and he had already left a back hand when he was roaming the rivers and lakes, and even deceived a lot of younger brothers to come over, such as Yan Shun Wang Dwarf Tiger and others in Qingfeng Mountain, but when he quietly sent his henchmen to contact these people, what he received was the bad news that most of them were beaten in Ye Ling's sweep this time, especially Yan Shun and the other three were directly killed.
This news gave the old traitor the last blow, so that he had to give up the idea of fighting for power, of course, only temporarily, the old traitor is also an extremely determined person, it is almost impossible to make him change his mind.
He was just temporarily disguised, waiting for the right moment.
At this time, Yue Fei in Ye Ling's camp tent humbly asked again: "Lord, there are two enemies this time, Tian Hu and Wang Qing, which one should we attack?" Or is it both? β
Ye Ling didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "What about in your opinion?" β
Yue Fei thought for a while and immediately said: "Dividing troops is a big taboo, and the last general thinks that it is better to concentrate superior forces to attack one side. β
Ye Ling nodded approvingly and continued to ask, "Then which way do you say you should fight first?" β
Hu Yanzhuo came out at this time and interjected: "According to the intelligence, the military strength of Natian Hu's side seems to be slightly stronger, it is better to take the weak one first, which can have the effect of taking the lead in the first place." β
Although some fierce generals specialize in picking strong opponents to fight, from the perspective of the art of war, it is definitely better to defeat the weaker opponent first, which can not only cause considerable damage, but also improve their own morale, and Hu Yanzhuo's suggestion is a deep combination of the art of war, so it immediately attracted the approval of Xu Ning and others.
Shi Xiu and Shi Qian nodded again and again, Wang Qing had a personal grudge with Liang Shan, and this conflict was caused by this guy who took the initiative to contact Tian Hu, of course they wanted to clean up Wang Qing and his gang first and export their anger.
However, Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and said: "You only know one, but you don't know the other, the comprehensive military strength of this Wang Qing's side is indeed rumored to be weaker than Tian Hu, but first, they have a lot of lakes there, and they need sailors and ships, which is not good for our team;

Second, this Wang Qing is treacherous, and Tian Hu seems to be quite righteous although he is cruel, if we fight Wang Qing first, the people who can't keep Tian Hu will come to help, and we will divide our troops to block it behind, and if we attack Tian Hu, then Wang Qing will definitely stand by and watch. β
After listening to this, everyone suddenly realized, Hu Yanzhuo was even more convinced, his opinion this time was actually very clever, very in line with the art of war, but Ye Ling's consideration angle was even more clever, and it completely rose to the analysis of the enemy's boss's character.
Naturally, there was no objection to the follow-up, and after the army left Qingzhou, it immediately went all the way north to Jizhou.
After Ye Ling's banner of 'Eight Roads Recruiting Envoys' was hung out, it was naturally smooth all the way, and it was too late for various local officials along the road to see this influential figure Du passing by, let alone blocking it, so just a few days later, they had already successfully arrived at the city of Jizhou.
Wei Chen, the governor of Jizhou, had already received the news and personally greeted him, his mind was the same as that of Murong Rongda, of course, he had to make friends in advance with a rising star in the political circle like Du Ling, who had an unlimited future, not to mention that people were originally here to help you suppress bandits.
The two sides entered the city in a pleasant atmosphere of politeness and mutual flattery, unlike Murong Rongda, who was in his early forties and had hope to go further in the future, Wei Chen was already over the age of six, and his beard and hair were all white, and his official career in this life may end here, and it is no surprise that he will work in this position until he retires, and finally he will be crowned with a false position such as the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Industry.
Therefore, Wei Chen couldn't help but sigh and sigh more at Ye Ling's ability to occupy such a high position at such a young age, and he was also more stammering, his attitude was several times more enthusiastic than that of Murong Rongda, and he was completely courteous to Ye Ling, although he was actually above the other party in terms of position, and he was even older and could be the other party's grandfather.
