Chapter 250: Han Qi and Wang Deyong

Daimyo's Mansion, this is already the 10th day of Han Qi's arrival in Daimyo's Mansion, as a famous general, as a famous general who has participated in several major battles, Han Qi has his own self-confidence, although, against Shangxi Xia, there are fewer victories and more defeats, but a civilian official's familiarity with the military is rare among civilian officials.

In the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the military generals were greatly suppressed, and after Zhenzong, the number of famous generals was decreasing day by day, even if there were peerless famous generals like Di Qing Wang Shao, they were also slightly used, and they were hidden in the snow, but some civilian officials who went to the battlefield were more well-known.

Earlier, there were Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, and even Wang Shao, who also passed the Jinshi of Jiayou Nian, but he failed to pass the standard examination, so he gradually traveled, entered the military, and became a generation of famous generals.

In the era of the Northern Song Dynasty, purely in the military, Han Qi was definitely countable.

As the deputy privy envoy of the Eastern Mansion and the top few people in the Eastern and Western Mansions of the Great Song Dynasty, Han Qi also knew that letting him come also had a special role, Renzong's mentality in the fourth year of Qingli had changed, and he no longer supported the law unconditionally, which can be seen from Teng Zijing's guard of Baling County.

As an important figure in the New Party, Teng Zijing's status in the New Party is not high, and his highest position is only the "librarian" in the palace (Tianzhang Pavilion to be systemated), but he and Fan Zhongyan are the same science and technology scholars, and they have a close relationship.

In addition, the many outlines of the reform of the law were attacked by the conservatives, and Fan Zhongyan began to fight with the conservatives in order to gain power quickly, and even took a few wrong steps, Renzong's support was greatly reduced.

Han Qi didn't know that this reason was actually in the body of the king of Runan County, when Fan Zhongyan was in the government, he had contact with the king of Runan County, and even in the early days, under the premise that Renzong was 27 years old and had no children, he mentioned some words about the disciples and nephews of the emperor, thinking of Zhao Xin being hunted down and killed, and even the Baozhou mutiny, can Renzong not be angry?

If it is replaced by someone else, even if it is angry, it can only be slowly figured out, after all, it is impossible to easily take down a person, but the policy of the new party, coupled with Fan Zhongyan's radical methods, can be said to be regarded as an enemy, as long as the signal is made, countless people will attack and annihilate.

This point, Han Qi saw it, but he was very helpless, leaving the capital to supervise the Baozhou mutiny, which was actually a kind of protection for him, a small Baozhou mutiny, but a few thousand rebels, as long as the army was together, it would be like the ice and snow melting, and he was very sure of this confidence.

The conditions of the Daimyo Mansion are good, although there are certain constraints, but after Han Qi arrived, everything changed, as the Northern Song Dynasty Northern Sijing, the only one close to the northern border, commanding the entire northern military force, the Daimyo Mansion, itself is a military town, after having the holy decree and opening the arsenal, the logistics are heavy, all kinds of money and food, there is no shortage at all.

More than 5,000 elite forbidden troops, a total of two armies, were organized as the core force of the Chinese army, and those who obeyed the dispatch had a total of 12 armies, a total of 35,000 people, the military order has been issued, and all aspects have been replied to, as long as Han Qi gives an order, you can set off.

However, Han Qi did not wave the army at that time, but carefully investigated the intelligence, mainly from the Liao side.

Baozhou mutiny, when going up to the center, the first thing to think is that the Liao State is in turmoil, Baozhou's position is quite critical, it is in the rear of the Sanguan defense line, and it is also the rear of the entire border defense line, and because of the support of the Haihe River Basin and the Nanjing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Baozhou is a commercial, political and military center, as a rear military state, it actually has nearly 10,000 soldiers, which can be seen in general.

If, at this moment, the Liao State exerts pressure and rebels against more border troops, what will happen to the result, and the impregnable Northern Song defense line will collapse.

The border troops who had the ability to deal with it did not dare to move, and even if they wanted to, they were ordered to guard the frontier to prevent the Liao State from attacking.

In fact, the actions of Baozhou, the Liao State did not know at all, the Liao State of this era, after a few years of horses to put Nanshan, was already quite weak, and even in 1044, when attacking Western Xia, it also suffered a large-scale defeat.

There has been no war for 30 years, and even in the last few years, even the grass valley has rarely appeared, and the Liao State has no idea that in the hinterland of the Northern Song Dynasty, something happened that made them ecstatic, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

To be honest, the border of the Liao and Song Dynasty is the most densely populated place in this era, with more than 3 million troops of the two countries, and the long-term confrontation here, the annual military expenditure is huge, the Northern Song Dynasty does not dare to relax, does the Liao State dare to relax?

With the same army of several millions, the Northern Song Dynasty has always wanted to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and once the Liao State relaxes, the Song army can drive straight in.

After hundreds of years of establishment, the Liao State has also undergone tremendous changes, from the previous nomadic to a country similar to the feudal dynasty, the Han people of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the status is improving, the entire Liao State, in the huge territory, can grow food, and there is a huge output, that is, the sixteen states of Yanyun, they have become an important pillar of the Liao State.

Losing this place is equivalent to saying that the power of the Liao State has been greatly weakened, even to the extent that it is not even as good as the Western Xia.

The asymmetry of information, the news of the Baozhou mutiny did not reach the Liao State, Wang Deyong still has a bottom line, he just used the Baozhou Mutiny to lift the table, not completely surrendered to the Liao State, and even belonged to the forces of the Wang family, and also suppressed and harassed the intelligence organization of the Liao State, making it difficult for him to find the news of the Baozhou Mutiny.

Of course, now it has been more than half a month since the Baozhou mutiny, and the villagers who fled from all sides have also spread the news of the Baozhou mutiny, but the Liao-Song border that is blocked by the border, even if the people of the Liao State know about it, it will take time to pass it on, plus a reaction and troop transfer, and wait until the Liao State has a response, at least a month and a half, or even two months later.

This point has been proven after all kinds of intelligence have been summarized, and Han Qi knows that he has a maximum of 1 and a half months, and a maximum of 2 months.

However, he was quite aware of the strength in his hands, and even accelerated the speed of mobilization, and the forbidden armies of the two armies could set off at any time, and under an order, there would be at least 10 armies concentrated in Baozhou within 10 days.

Under the premise that the army is pressing, and the strength and number of people are huge, how can it be defeated, what he needs to be careful about is not to have variables, and use a dignified division to directly crush the past to prevent accidents.

In front of Han Qi, is the latest intelligence, after the Baozhou mutiny, because of the destruction of various systems, they obtained information, and they could only escape from the people of Baozhou, the initial news was from Baozhou City, a raging night, I don't know how many people, how many families were tragic, but when Wei Gui went to Miaojiazhuang, these bold people still ran out of Baozhou, and also brought first-hand news about the Baozhou mutiny.

Wei Gui, this is an unfamiliar name, even Jiao Yong was killed, and the entire generals of the Western Army trembled in the face of Han Qi, and did not dare to say more, how could a small eight-rank military attache get into Han Qi's eyes.

It's a pity that it is this person who is the focus of this time, with the spy report of the Northern Song Dynasty, soon, a lot of information came over, including Wei Gui is a descendant of Wei Zhuang, and also the main line of the Wei family is missing, and those who remain in their hometown are only some branches, and even the old men and slaves who have been abandoned.

This is what makes Han Qi strange, what is Baozhou, the rebellion in this place, there is no possibility of realizing it at all, even if it is a cause and profit, it is successful, so what, the heavy troops on all sides compress the place where he develops, unless he can chisel through the three levels and rebel into the Liao State, otherwise, it is useless at all.

There is no way to go to the next level in the Northern Song Dynasty, can you go to the Liao State, since the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State Lanyuan Alliance, the relationship between the two sides is close, even if there are a few defectors, they have not been treated very well in the Liao State, Wei Gui has no future at all.

This is where Han Qi can't figure it out, why do they have a good future and do such a desperate thing, and where have the Wei family gone, among the rebels, this is absolutely impossible, but unfortunately their traces are cleaned up very cleanly, and there is no other news in terms of espionage.

Han Qi has an advantage, if he doesn't understand it, don't think about it, where the rebels are, if they catch Wei Gui, everything will be clear, and the problem will be solved.

On the fourteenth day of Han Qi's arrival at the Daimyo's Mansion, all the preparations had been completed, and the two armies were forbidden to take the big boats, in order to ensure the travel of the army, Han Qi almost called the Daimyo's Mansion nearby, most of the official ships, and hundreds of big ships, so that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was cut off.

The news of the distress was sent to Wang Deyong at this juncture, in fact, after Han Qi arrived, Wang Deyong was already quite low-key, Han Qi is known as Han Maniac, although he is not very old, much younger than Wang Deyong, but he is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, in his 30s, he has achieved this position, and he is still a civil official.

The difference between civil and military affairs in the Renzong Dynasty is already quite obvious, even when he once served in the Privy Council, Wang Deyong did not dare to face Han Qi head-on, let alone now, Han Qi, who is holding the holy decree and serving the emperor's orders, not only must he help Han Qi as much as possible, but also must clean up some of the previous hands and feet of the Wang family.

Fortunately, Han Qi didn't notice the Wang family's actions in it, so that the Wang family naturally cleaned up some things, Wang De was calm, and now the only problem is in Baozhou, as long as Wei Gui can capture Miaojiazhuang in a short period of time, catch Zhao Xin in his hands, and even kill him, even if Han Qi arrives, what can he do.

But at this juncture, what he received was not the news of victory, but the news of a big defeat and a request for support, such a big gap made Wang De difficult to accept for a while.
