Chapter 258: Wei Gui's Plans
Whether it is his own military position or the identity of Banzhi, Tanma does not dare to slack off, of course, his status is low, it is impossible to vouch, fortunately, Sun Ji doesn't care, he is waiting here.
Sun Ji's location is about 3 miles away from Baozhou City, that is, the periphery of the big camp, and 2 miles away from the big camp, which is already a safe distance, let alone a person.
Handover with the tanma next to him, and then this tanma returned to the camp, Sun Ji did not go deeper, but retreated almost a mile, out of the sensitive range, he came to see Han Qi, not to challenge the entire army.
Tanma's status is not high, but the things he brought, but people have to pay attention, he first reported to the officer on duty, after the officer on duty checked, these are not dangerous, layer by layer.
The identity of the shift is quite special, maybe Han Qi won't take it seriously, but the people who handle it don't dare to be careless, in case, he came by the emperor's order, which is also the fundamental reason why Han Qi came here.
After passing through layers of transmission, in the end, this waist card came into Han Qi's hands.
Han Qi has been a little calm these days, the rebellion in Baozhou is different from the one he first came into contact with, it may be more complicated than he thought, and the whole process of formation is not as he imagined, corruption at the top.
Baozhou, as a border military state that Renzong focuses on, the military and political systems sent over are quite young, not that the young ones are not corrupt, but relatively speaking, they are much better.
Take Han Qi himself as an example, when he was in his 30s, he did it to participate in political affairs, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, does he need money? In terms of annual salary alone, he is more than 1,500 yuan, not to mention the money.
That is to say, in terms of government affairs, necessary expenditures, later generations said that Bao Zheng was a billionaire, and that is what he said, simply for his service and service, he was about one or two thousand, but there was an extra twenty thousand yuan in the back, and that was to make money.
A Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion, which is equivalent to the position of division commander in the capital, a huge city with a population of more than one million, how complicated it is to be in charge, according to the standards of later generations, 30 people support a civil servant, and the entire Kaifeng Mansion should have 30,000 people.
Of course, in this era, there are not so many officials and officials, but Kaifeng Mansion is at least tens of thousands, such a huge government expenditure, even if it is only a part, is a rather astonishing number, and it is a bit too much to take this as Bao Zheng's income.
It's like taking a city's mayor's funds as his income, and the mayor of any prefecture-level city in China, the funds he controls are astronomical, billionaires, and what is it.
The officials of Baozhou are like this, they are very young, and the future is promising, not to mention that they can do this level, as long as Jane is in the emperor's heart, and he also has considerable strength, the third and fourth grade of the big man can be expected.
Such a promising young official will make a small profit, although Baozhou has nearly 10,000 garrisons, and the soldiers' savings are 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, which is not money that cannot be pulled out in the eyes of a state governor.
Not to mention that this money is hot, even at the level of Han Qi, they don't dare to underestimate this savings fund, for the feelings of ordinary soldiers, these leaders should not be unaware.
But it happened, and it was so big, these promising officials used their lives to interpret this iron rule that savings funds cannot be moved, but they left him such a mess.
What is the reason, let's not investigate it for the time being, the matter must be investigated step by step, so that it can be found clearly, and now for Han Qi, the most important thing is to counterbalance the rebellion.
But the movements of the rebels were a headache, and after a short contact, after defeating the Yunlong army, they retreated to Baozhou City.
As a commander who knows the soldiers, Han Qi is familiar with all kinds of military books, and in the Art of War, which is particularly admired, it is clearly stated that the upper army is strategic, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city.
The last resort was to siege the city, but now, he had to do it in the position of besieging the city, and even, relatively speaking, he did not have 10 times the strength in the city, which was quite embarrassing.
Waiting for Ouyang Xiu is only one aspect, after blocking the passage outside Baozhou, even if the south gate is released, these rebels can't run away, he is waiting for Ouyang Xiu, but he doesn't stop moving, but is actively preparing.
To attack the city, it is necessary to build siege equipment, and there is a lot of damage around it, but if you look carefully, you can still find a lot of trees.
Han Qi's purpose is very simple, that is, to build all kinds of siege equipment in an all-round way, whether it is a catapult, a masked car, or even a well fence, there are everything.
Baozhou City, is one of the important towns of the border pass, the defense of the entire Baozhou City, very strong, there are close to 3 forbidden armies in it, their strength is insufficient, must have complete siege equipment, to be able to capture Baozhou City.
In the depths of his heart, Han Qi no longer had much hope for Ouyang Xiu's persuasion, because some of the rebels' actions proved that the rebels seemed to have a certain determination, which was not related to their escape, but to the Yunlong Army, which could be seen from breaking the Yunlong Army, not fleeing in all directions, but choosing to stick under the city of Baozhou, which was beyond their expectations and made the whole situation even more complicated.
If the other party really has the determination to burn the jade, then this siege battle will be quite tragic.
In fact, Wei Gui did just that, he was surrounded in the city, it can be said that the morale of the rebels was quite low, if he had just rebelled, maybe there would be instability and even turmoil below.
Of course, Wei Gui knows this deeply, he has already boarded the thief ship, if he wants the Wang family to be treated equally, and even to meet the conditions proposed before, he must make the Wang family feel worthwhile.
Wei Gui knows very well that the reason why the Wang family withdrew should be to know about Han Qi's arrival, then these rebels are the biggest hidden danger, how to consume as many rebels as possible is the key, as long as the rebels are consumed, there will be fewer people who know the existence of the Wang family, and a few idle people will not be able to shake the Wang family.
has already boarded the thief ship of the Wang family, and even rebelled, all his parents and relatives are in the hands of the Wang family, and he cannot rebel against the water, nor can he rebel against the water.
The previous action was a vote, perhaps, because of some kind of oppression, rebellion, and the possibility of Zhao'an, but the boundless killing, under Wei Gui's deliberate connivance, let these people kill the people of Baozhou frantically, and it will be difficult to take back the wildness released.
Wei Guiqing clearly told them that their sins, even if they surrendered, they might not be able to survive, and the best result was to assassinate and fill the army, which was not simply to be a soldier, but to go to the northwest front and act as a death battalion.
As a forbidden army, and even a border army, they know very well what kind of existence the death camp is, entering those places is no different from death, more than ninety percent of the mortality rate, among the death camps, there is no one who can survive for 3 years.
This is also the reason for the existence of the death camp, as long as it can live for 3 years, it can be pardoned unconditionally, and it can also be directly from a soldier to an officer, such a good condition, why no one goes, the mortality rate is a bloody knife, this is a shortcut to the sky, but the connected heavenly tree is broken, how do you get on.
Only by beating the army that came to encircle and suppress it and making them realize the strength of the Baozhou army can they negotiate the conditions, so that they will not be sent to the death camp.
Coercion and temptation are always the best methods, and Wei Gui knows this deeply, at this moment, he is also preparing, and it is a complete preparation for city defense.
Looking below, the mighty and majestic imperial forbidden army, the number of people is not too much, Wei Gui can only sigh, he can't help but think of Miaojiazhuang, if Baozhou City also has the defense of Miaojiazhuang, what kind of concept will it be.
Not to mention Wei Gui's thoughts, Han Qi sent a straight waist card at this juncture, why in the end.
As Zaifu, Han Qi is qualified to intervene in some secret matters, of course he knows that the Imperial Front Banzhi is actually able to go out of Beijing, not only in the Ouchi, but also working in the Imperial City Division, it is difficult to do it, this is because Renzong didn't believe in the two of them very much, and sent the Imperial City Division in advance.
But this should be impossible, they have only been here for a long time, Han Qi asked himself, the action is very fast, more than three or four days faster than others, and in the end, there is no unfavorable result, the incident of the Yunlong Army is just an accident.
Han Qi was reluctant to meet the Imperial City Division, and the ministers had a natural aversion to secret spies, but at this time, he couldn't help it, because the other party had already contacted him directly, and it would be good to meet him, it would depend on what he wanted to say.
However, Han Qi didn't like this feeling very much, to put it mildly, even when he was in the northwest and was still assisting Xia Zhu, he didn't take the generals in his eyes, let alone that he was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, that is, one of the most advanced people in the military, a small imperial class, if there was no major event, deliberately to show his majesty, then don't blame him for being polite.
It was also issued layer by layer, but compared to before, the report of the Tanma was much faster, but from the report to the notice, it also took an hour, and it was still the Tanma who reported the news, he was waiting for the news in the camp at this time, and after getting the report from the officer on duty, he immediately came out, went out of the barracks, and went to the location where he met to find Sun Ji.
Sun Ji has been waiting, and when he saw the horse coming out, he knew that there was news, and took the initiative to meet him, and sure enough, he agreed, which made Sun Ji a little happy, and the purpose of seeing Han Qi was to send the fortress and the longbowmen up, a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, or Han Qi, a promising Zaifu, this weight must be enough.
Sun Ji didn't realize that he had slightly offended a military boss like Han Qi, and what was waiting for him would be a dismount.
