There is a lot of discussion in the market, there is no end to the disturbance, and there is everything, and the center of the imperial court that maintains the operation of the huge empire of the Great Song Dynasty will naturally not be like this.

When the folk rumors became more and more fierce, even the Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji in the palace was also alarmed, so on this day, Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Gao Yu, Yang Jian, He Guan, Su Yuanjing, Cai You and other important ministers were all summoned to the Dao Forbidden Vertical Arch Hall to ask right.

This is also a good job of manipulating public opinion on Liang Shanjun's side, Lin Chong has been the deputy commander of the Zhuban straight tea and wine class for a period of time, entering and leaving the palace every day, and has also dealt with some spy organizations in this era.

Lin Chong knew that Zhao Ji was almost blind about the situation outside Bianjing, anyway, the officials everywhere were whatever they said in the newspapers.

Zhu Mian took advantage of the Huashigang affair to make money at both ends, and even more than half of the governors of the southeast region came from Zhu Mian's disciples, Zhu Mian seemed to be the king of the southeast, and the family "used the food utensils to force the king to eat, and the Hua Zhi was excessive", Zhao Ji was kept in the dark throughout the whole process.

However, for Bianliang City, Zhao Ji is still very concerned, and from time to time he goes out of the palace to "investigate the people's feelings", and at the same time, he often sends spies (Luo pawns) of the Imperial City Division to investigate and interview the people.

Of course, the Imperial City Division is also in charge of Liang Shicheng, who is in charge of what to say and what not to say; And even if Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Zhu Mian and other Zhao Ji's favored ministers, the important ministers of the court still have to flatter and cling to Liang Shicheng, which is also one of the important reasons.

When this matter finally became a topic of discussion for almost everyone in the entire Bianliang City, Zhao Ji was finally alarmed and couldn't sit still anymore.

"What the hell are you going to do? How could such a confidential military event be known to everyone and boil over? And the incident in Qizhou, Gao Qing, did you do it? ”

"Official, this matter must be that the Liangshan thieves planted spies in Bianjing City, and even there are internal ghosts who were bought by Lin Chong's family in the court! This matter must be that these Liangshan meticulous works are making waves! ”

Gao Yu couldn't help but scream: "As for the incident in Qizhou, it really has nothing to do with Weichen, this is the Liangshan thief pouring dirty water on Weichen, and Weichen has never had anything to do with that Zhou Zhizhou!" ”

Zhao Ji looked at him with some suspicion, and then glanced at Gao Muen, who was waiting beside him, and said in his heart that Lin Chong made your godson a eunuch and ransacked your Taiwei Mansion, can you not hate him to the bone?

Gao Yu saw that Zhao Ji didn't believe it, so he said again: "Official, Wei Chen hates Lin Chong no matter how much he hates, and he won't do it before the 40,000 main forces of the Liangshan Army arrive in Kansai!"

Weichen thought about recruiting the more powerful bandits on Jingdong Road in An'an, and asked them to fight to the death with the Liangshan army against the thieves, but before they could find a suitable object, this matter must have been done by the Liangshan army! ”

Gao Yu can indeed guarantee it, so Zhou Kai, the governor of Qizhou, wrote to him afterwards to inquire about the matter, and mentioned in the letter that he had written a secret letter to him and stamped it with a private seal.

But I haven't done it myself, this is not what Liang Shanjun did, who else can there be?

But he didn't talk about it, otherwise he wouldn't admit that he had accepted a heavy bribe from Zhou Kai.

Zhao Ji thought about it, no longer doubted, and looked at Cai Jing and the others again: "Now that the matter has come to this, presumably Lin Chong's wife already knows, and he is bound to use this as an excuse to return to Liangshan, I don't know how the court thinks the court should deal with it?" ”

Seeing Zhao Ji looking over, Cai Jing, who had always been astute, immediately stood up and was about to bow down, Zhao Ji was generous in this regard, and hurriedly said: "Cai Qing, you are almost in the year of the Stick Dynasty, you don't have to salute, come here, Cai Laoqing's house set up a seat!" ”

According to the ancient rites, as long as the age is eighty, you can be allowed to enter the court with crutches, although Cai Jing is not yet eighty years old, but he is also in his seventies, the state of Chinese etiquette, respect the old and love the young, Zhao Ji is still doing well in this regard.

At the moment, the enshrined official named Gao Muen was busy moving a seat for Cai Jing, Cai Jing sat down after thanking him, looked at Zhao Ji and said unhurriedly: "The saint is above, it is conceivable that there is a lot of discussion in Bianliang City, and the incident in Qizhou must be the handiwork of Liang Shanjun, which also shows that Lin Chong never thought about really fighting the Western Thieves at the beginning."

According to Lao Chen's opinion, since the matter has come to this point, he simply tore his face with this gang of thieves, and on the one hand, he sent a large army to encircle and suppress Liangshan Shuibo, and on the other hand, he sent a large army to block the return route of the 40,000 main forces of the Liangshan Army along the way. At the same time, we will strictly investigate how this matter was leaked out, and find out the internal response that was bought by Liang Shanjun! ”

Although what Cai Jing said was right, Zhao Ji himself thought so, but after hearing Cai Jing's words, Zhao Ji couldn't help frowning, and he was indescribably irritable.

The reason is simple, Cai Jing said it is easy, on the one hand, he sent troops to encircle and suppress Liangshan Shuibo, and on the other hand, he sent troops to intercept the main force of the Liangshan Army, but where did the soldiers and horses come from?

At the beginning, Zhao Ji didn't pay much attention to the Liangshan army, and felt that a group of grass robbers were just a rabble who had only been in the army for less than a year, but after two fiascos.

In particular, Chen Zongshan, Zhang Shuye, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang and several other generals of the imperial camp forbidden army watched the parade ceremony of the Liangshan army, and came back to report after the departure ceremony, but let Zhao Ji know how strong the Liangshan army was.

In the words of Zhang Shuye, Qiu Yue and others, with the same number of troops, the elite of the imperial camp is definitely not the opponent of the Liangshan army, and probably Qi can only be sure of victory if he transfers the western army over.

However, the 200,000 western army was all dragged down by the western thieves, and if the western army is transferred now, it will be too late to say that the good situation of defeating the western thieves will also be shattered, and the price is really too great.

Originally, I wanted to transfer the main force of the 40,000 Liangshan Army to fight the Western thieves and consume them, but here the 100,000 army suddenly attacked and killed Jeju and Yunzhou, not to mention ploughing the court and sweeping the caves, at least the victory rate was extremely high.

But now that the sneak attack can't become a strong attack, and it is necessary to divide forces to intercept the main force of the 40,000 Liangshan Army, where do these soldiers and horses come from?

Is it the elite of the Imperial Camp of the Imperial Forbidden Army?

But it's a desperate gamble, in case you don't win, Bianliang is empty, and the Liangshan thieves take the opportunity to enter Bianliang City?

At this time, I heard Wang Hao say: "Official, we still have the three thousand elite horses that Yelu Yu can use!" ”

Cai Jing also said: "I can order the original Taiwei He (He Guanguan's army and infantry are all waiting, and the real power is only under Gao Yu) to lead the 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress Liangshanbo, divide half of the troops, intercept the rebels of the Liangshan army, and then order the prefectures and counties along the way to close the city and defend themselves!" ”

He paused, glanced at everyone, and his eyes were full of confidence: "The sage knows that the 40,000 main forces of Lin Chong's department are supplied by the states and counties along the way, and they can only withdraw five days of grain and grass at a time, as long as we close the city gate, the main force of the 40,000 Liangshan Army will soon be cut off!"

In order to buy people's hearts and sell their reputation, Lin Chong will definitely not rob the people and rich households, but will only attack the prefectures and counties along the way, but they have never brought siege equipment, as long as we hold on to this side for four or five days, when the grain and grass of the anti-thieves in Liangshan are exhausted, and the army will launch a counterattack when the morale of the army is in chaos, and one blow can be broken!

If Lin Chong ordered to rob the people and the rich households, he would not be afraid, so that the nonsense he said before about serving the country, protecting the territory and the people, and saving the world would no longer be believed. We can also send large armies from all over the country to encircle and suppress them! ”
