Chapter 711: I see

Hangzhou is going to Hedong, why not thousands of miles? Don't forget, now the Central Plains is still in the hands of the Jurchens, to get to Hedong, you need to go up the Yangtze River, from Jiangnan, to Jinghu, then into Sichuan, and then north, through Hanzhong, into Shaanxi, and then from Shaanxi across the Yellow River, this is considered to be arriving.

Hundreds of officials, just picking and recruiting, is not a matter that can be brought down in a few months, if you are more cautious, you can't do it for a year. When you have chosen, go to the east of the river, this should be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? And, hundreds of officials! If you're talking about livestock, you'll have to close it up several times! What's more, this is talking about court officials who have studied hard for decades, escaped from the imperial examination, and have certain qualifications! You can't put the jinshi you just passed the entrance exam in the local area as a leader, right? Where to find these hundreds of officials? Even if you find it, what will you do in Hedong during this period?

If Xu Wei still retains the power to "dethrone cheaply", then he can immediately select a group of officials from Sichuan and Shaanxi to come out for emergencies and set up the official team first. As for military defense, that's even more so.

Zhao Chen felt that this matter was really not small at this time! It is possible to temporarily manage Hedong by the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Division before the imperial court makes other arrangements, but this is not a long-term solution after all. Shouldn't Xu Wei have taken over Xu Wei's rights in the first place?

"I'll consider this matter carefully." After a while, Zhao Chen also had no idea for a while.

Xu Liu said again at this time: "Your Majesty, how to deal with this surrender?" ”

"What surrender?" Zhao Chen was stunned.

Xu Liu didn't know why, so he showed the blue card in his hand and said: "Xu Wei asked to personally lead Han Chang and the Jin army to come to Jiangnan to contribute. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Chen was even more puzzled, stepped forward to take the sign, and took a closer look. It turned out that there was really such a thing, but he was too hurried and excited, and after looking at it a few times, his eyes were spinning around how many states and counties he had recovered, and he didn't see the short sentence mixed in the middle at all. This is also due to Xu Wei's sloppy handwriting!

"Wang Shi recovered dozens of prefectures and counties in Hedong in one fell swoop, this is a major event celebrated by the whole world, and it is natural to surrender." Zhao Chen said with a smile. In the Song Dynasty, there was such a system, that is, after a great victory, the imperial court had to come to the capital to offer prisoners and hold ceremonies to show the national prestige. In the past, when I fought with the party members, it would be difficult to take a few hundred miles of land, and I would definitely surrender. This time, dozens of states and counties in Hedong have returned, how can there be any reason not to celebrate?

"But, Xu Wei asked to come in person?" Xu Liu reminded.

Zhao Chen was indecisive for a while, and the commander of the army, who had a heavy army, took the initiative to ask for the center, which has always been the best way to prove his selflessness. Xu Wei had already offered to enter the Hajj several times before, and this time he was going to come to surrender in person, and this person was quite cautious. Perhaps, it was because the imperial court accepted his right to "dethrone him cheaply", so he knew that the higher authorities were worried about him, so he used this to confess.

But then again, any of the civil and military generals in the world can easily come to Jiangnan, but Xu Wei can't do his job without authorization. He was dressed in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he had to suppress the Tubo people in the west, keep an eye on the party members in the north, and be wary of the Jurchens in the east. And the Hedong Prefectures have just been recovered, and he must be busy with things, how can he leave?

"What do you think of the two virtuous people?" Zhao Chen asked.

"You don't have to, do you? This surrender is to send a general to come, why do you need King Xu Jun to run in person? "Zhao Dingdao." He is the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, guarding the pastoral side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he is running at every turn, for fear that some people will talk about not doing his job. ”

Of course, Xu Liu knew what the Xu family's old nine was planning, so he didn't say anything, but said, "But listen to Your Majesty's decision." ”

Zhao Chen stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, thought about it, shook his head and said, "I see, there is no need, just send someone here." This Hedong has just been recovered, and there must be a lot of things he has to preside, so he doesn't have to care about this form. ”

"That's exactly how it should be." Zhao Dingdao.

The three of them rejoiced for a while, and Zhao Chen was a little tired, so he asked Zhao Ding and Xu Liang to go by himself. The two prime ministers bowed their respects and were just about to leave, when they suddenly heard the emperor say: "Xu Qing." ”

Xu Liang stopped and returned to the hall, and Zhao Ding went by himself.

"I remember Xu Sheng, the brother of Xu Wei's mother, who is currently the deputy envoy of Liangxing to pacify him, right?" Zhao Chen suddenly asked such a question thoughtlessly.

Xu Liu's heart jumped, and he said quietly: "Back to Your Majesty, exactly." ”

"Oh, it is said that Xu Wei lost his mother when he was a child, and his brother and sister-in-law raised him, is there such a thing?" Zhao Chen asked again.

Xu Liu had already guessed the emperor's intentions at this time, and replied: "Mother Xu unfortunately passed away after giving birth to Xu Wei. Chen's second uncle has not continued since then, so Xu Wei has been raised by his brother Xu Sheng and his sister-in-law Wang since he was a child. ”

Zhao Chen listened to it and asked: "In this case, I want to summon Xu Sheng to represent Sichuan and Shaanxi and come to surrender, do you think it is appropriate for Xianqing?" ”

As expected! Xu Liangzhi said secretly in his heart. When the emperor asked about the fourth brother, he knew what the other party had in mind......

Lao Jiu has accumulated miraculous achievements, controlled 200,000 strings, and has outstanding prestige in the northwest. He is also the supreme governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, holding authority, which inevitably arouses suspicion to some extent. The emperor previously accepted his power to "dethrone cheaply", which is a manifestation of this "suspicion". But now, the recovery of the Hedong Prefectures made the emperor realize that it was really not possible to leave Lao Jiu for things outside.

It's a simple restoration of the Hedong master of ceremonies, if Lao Jiu doesn't care, let the court handle it, you really can't do it. So, the emperor thought about delegating power to him again, but he felt that he didn't hold anything in his hand, and his heart was empty.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying about "protons". There are also such examples in this dynasty, where the generals lead troops all the year round, and generally have a son to serve in the capital or the surrounding areas, to put it bluntly, they are hostages. But the problem is that Lao Jiu gave birth to two daughters in a row, and now he has a son, but he is still a doll. You can't hold a doll a few years old hostage, can you? Do you give him and pee every day?

Since the son can't succeed, then retreat to the second, and the brother can do it. In the Xu family's generation, there are five brothers, and after the eldest Xu Yuan died, there were still four left. But only Xu Si is the brother of Xu Jiuyi's mother. Moreover, Xu Jiu and Xu Si have a good relationship, and the eldest brother is like a father, so it is most suitable to transfer him here.

Nominally, he was asked to come and surrender, wait and see, as soon as the surrender is over, the emperor will definitely issue an edict to find him a suitable position in the central organization, or in the Xuanfu Division of Liangzhejiang, and leave him in Jiangnan. In this way, he can rest assured that he will hand over power to Xu Wei.

"Couldn't be more suitable! If Xu Sheng comes to the court, it will naturally be an honor for him, and it will not be a reward for Xu Jiu? Xu Liang "strongly agreed". Generally speaking, it is an honor for military attaches who are outside to be able to go to the center to see the face of the sky. Secondly, according to the custom, whoever came to Beijing to surrender, the emperor would generally promote his official and give him gold and silver weapons. The veteran of the Western Army, Dao, once personally went to Tokyo to surrender in the past, performed meritorious service to Emperor Zhezong, and was promoted. Closer, the eldest brother's second son, Xu Cheng, was also cared for by Lao Jiu, and sent him to Hangzhou to offer prisoners, and after he went back, he also directly put on a red robe. Therefore, just in terms of the "surrender" itself, this is an advantage or disadvantage.

"Okay, that's it. Xianqing could immediately reply to the Sichuan Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, and ordered Xu Sheng to lead Han Chang and others to Jiangnan. Zhao Chen said with a smile.

On the second day, the emperor issued three edicts in succession. The first way is to appoint Li Ruoshui and Zhu Zhuo as governors to assist the prime minister, but there is no news about Qin Hui recommended by Xu Liang for the time being; The second way is to delegate the power of "cheap and deposed" to the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division, in fact, it is to delegate to Xu Wei. The third way, the Hedong region that has been recovered, is temporarily managed by the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, and is arranged by the imperial court.

As soon as the news of the recovery of half of Hedong spread, the Manchu ministers were excited! Even the retired ministers such as Xu Churen, Wang Shu, Zhe Keqiu, and Xu Han also congratulated the emperor. Because he heard that Xu Wei had recovered Linfu Road, he also sent someone to protect the ancestral tomb of the Zhi family, so he was very grateful and came to the door in person to express his gratitude to Xu Liang.

Even Emperor Zhao Huan, who was under house arrest in Deokshou Palace, rarely sent an attendant to congratulate his son. Of course, there are some other meanings in this, because Xu Wei was cultivated and promoted by Zhao Huan when he was in power. Xu Wei's ability to have today is inseparable from his own efforts, but if it weren't for Zhao Huan's deliberate promotion back then, I'm afraid he wouldn't have risen so fast. Zhao Huan sent someone to congratulate Zhao Chen, that is, can you lead the country to do these things, or does it have something to do with my original construction, so, is it okay to improve the relationship?

Hedong

After the war was over, Xu Wei remained in Hedong because he had too many things to do. There is no government in various places, so for the time being, it can only be managed by the military, and even the local heroes must be gathered together to govern the counties and towns. Then, it is necessary to solve the problem of the rebels.

The sixty or seventy thousand rebels who followed him, you have to make an arrangement, you can't let them drill the ravine again, right? And Xu Wei knows very well that although the righteous army was established in line with the purpose of resisting Jin, it is not for nothing that in the name of resisting Jin, it is not for nothing that they harm the people. If it is not properly disposed of, it will become a hidden danger in Hedong.

What to do? The best thing to use is the traditional means of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao'an. Of course, it is not appropriate to use 'Zhao'an' on the rebels, but the meaning is similar.

These 60,000 or 70,000 horses will be the military strength of Hedong in the future. Xu Wei planned to incorporate all of them and give them numbers, so that they would not be guerrillas from now on, but a regular army, and this matter was very complicated, so Xu Wei could not return to Xingyuan for the time being. The Jin army is still in Taiyuan, so the troops cannot be withdrawn for the time being.

It was not until the beginning of July that I had a general idea. On this day, Xu Wei was receiving some leaders of the rebel army in the yali of Lingshi County, Shao Xing, Shao Yi, Zheng Pu, Huang Shou and others were all there.

"Brothers of the lowly generation, thank you for the grace of the king's reconstruction!" The Shao brothers both knelt on the ground and saluted very respectfully.

"Get up, this is as it should be. I have been the commander of the rebel army, and you are all my subordinates, so naturally I will find a way out for you and get up. Xu Wei stretched out his hand and said. But the ugly words I said are ahead, with the establishment and the number, I can't do that kind of behavior. I know that there are people in your army who are very angry, and I won't say much about the specifics, you have to know in your own hearts, don't embarrass me, if you embarrass me, I can only make it more difficult for you. ”

"Yes! The lowly position must be rectified, and no matter how harmful the people are, the king will not be allowed to speak, and the lowly duty will be dealt with by himself! Shao Xing said.

"Okay, get up." Xu Wei called again. The two major rebel armies in Hedong, the Red Turban Army, were brought up by Zheng Pu and Huang Shou, and these two turned out to be his generals. No, the generals have been a little promoted, these two people were in the Yang Jin Department in the past, but they were small officers like the commander of the capital, and they usually couldn't even see Xu Wei's face, so they could only be regarded as Xu Wei's soldiers.

Since it is Xu Wei's soldiers, the Red Turban Army naturally has a relationship with the Hu'er Army. Therefore, we have to arrange the troops of the Shao brothers first, and then take care of the red scarves.

As he was talking, an adjutant stepped into the hall, came to Xu Wei, and whispered: "King, this is an urgent report from Shaanxi." ”

"Urgent? Xingyuan came? Xu Wei frowned and asked.

"No, it's Shuai Si Yan." The adjutant replied.

Xu Wei took it, waved his hand, and just wanted to look, remembering that there were still people in the hall, so he said to the leaders of the rebel army: "Okay, come here today, you go and stay." ”

After the generals bowed their respects, he opened the official letter and looked at it, and it turned out to be the news reported by Xu Hong, who was appeased by Yan Yanjing. Zijin Tiger's gaze moved up and down, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled, and finally, he slammed his palm on the desk, his face full of anger!

"Someone! Summons the directors and deputy chiefs of all departments to meet! ”

After a while, Yang Yan, Wu Lan, Zhang Xian, Wang Yan, Xu Sheng and others will come in a hurry. It may be that the officer who heard the herald said that the king seemed to be a little annoyed.

After entering the hall and saluting, Xu Wei asked the generals to sit down. Yang Yan was anxious, and couldn't help but ask, "King, what's the matter?" ”

Xu Weili was behind the desk, listening to his question, grabbed the official document on the table, and said angrily: "I told the Khitan people at the beginning that they would solve the Western Xia problem once and for all, but they didn't listen. It's good now, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! Fuck it, the party is capricious, they're dying! I can't spare it! ”

Listening to him scolding his head and covering his face, the handsome people changed color. How? Is the party in turmoil? Also implicated in the Khitans?

Xu Wei was angry for a while, and then said: "I just received an urgent report from Yan Yan Shuaisi, saying that in May, the party members took advantage of the main force of the Liao army and Xiao Heda to go to Yanyun and sent troops to attack Xiao Heda's lair. Our three divisions of Yanyan, Huanqing, and Jingyuan all sent troops to intervene as originally expected, and the Xia army retreated. ”

"Is the party person crazy? Why did you suddenly attack Xiao Heda? Yang Yan was puzzled.

"Isn't that clear? The Xia army's attack on Xiao Heda's territory is tantamount to threatening the back of the Liao State! In this way, can Xiao Lili still fight with the Jurchens with peace of mind? At this time, the Liao army lost the decisive battle with the main force of Wushu, and was about to regroup and fight again, when it heard that the backyard was on fire, it could only withdraw and return in vain! Xu Wei said angrily.

When the generals heard this, their hearts were already clear. No wonder the Jin army rushed south to aid Taiyuan, it turned out that the Liao army had been shot away by them! Damn, the party is over this time! It's completely over!

If it weren't for them behind the scenes, how could the Liao army have withdrawn? If the Liao army does not withdraw, how dare Wushu go south? If the vultures don't go south, Taiyuan will already be broken! Hedong may be recovered! What a rat, a pot of porridge is broken! After I go back, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat from the party!

The Khitan people are too, when the king proposed to solve the Western Xia, they had to refuse, but now it's good, raising tigers is a problem, right? Phew! Dang Xiang people are also worthy of being called tigers? Just a rat! After returning to Shaanxi, gather a large army and set foot on Helan Mountain! Raze Xingqing Mansion! Catch Lord Xia and beat him hard!

"It's strange, the party has been beaten by the Song and Liao armies before. Hexi was all lost, Hengshan was all lost, and announced his separation from the Jurchens, why did he suddenly change again? Wu Lan questioned.

"This may have something to do with the Jurchens, ten likely, it was Ginting who instructed to collude. The Jurchens knew that they were attacked on both sides and that it was difficult to deal with them, so they colluded with the party members and could mess up all the way, and as a result, they messed up the Khitans. Zhang Xian said.

Xu Wei sneered when he heard this: "Jumping beam clown!" Believe it or not, the party members must still have a sweet dream, thinking that the Jurchens will stand up for them. ”

"Haha! Pipe dream! Is it difficult for the Jurchens to protect themselves? And the leisure to care about it? If you don't believe it, we'll see, the party will be betrayed by the Jurchens out of ten! You have to hug your thighs, and you don't choose a thick one, you are standing on the wrong side, party members! Wang Yan said loudly.

Xu Wei calmed down, sat back in his position, and said loudly: "We have to think about what to do next, this Hedong has temporarily stabilized, but the Jin army is still in Taiyuan and has not withdrawn, and our army cannot all withdraw back to Guanzhong." In your opinion, how is it good? ”

Zhang Xian was the first to speak: "The king, in my humble opinion, it is unlikely that the Jin army will go south again. They first fought a bloody battle with the Liao army, which was already the end of the crossbow, and then attacked Hedong, I am afraid that they would not be able to do it. Therefore, he suggested that the first army should be left here to guard the town, and the rest should return to Guanzhong to solve the problem of Western Xia. ”

"The problem of Western Xia can't be just us, right? The mistakes made by the Khitans themselves, they may be even more annoyed. Yang Yan said.

"It's nature." Zhang Xian nodded. "The Yongxing Army is the closest to Hedong, and leaving Yang Jingluo is enough to deal with the Jurchens."

When Yang Yan heard this, he patted his chest and said: "King, everyone, you just have to go back to Guanzhong, with Yang in charge here, the Jurchens will not come, but dare to come, and promise not to let an inch of land!" ”

Xu Wei thought about it, this is also a way. It is not very likely that the Jin army will go south to regain the "lost land", even if it comes, the Song army has already held the pass, and it is enough to leave Yang Yan's army here, not to mention, there are also righteous troops to drive. As soon as he thought of this, he said, "That's what it means?" ”

"King, it's been so many days, and the Jin army hasn't moved. If it wants to come, it should have come a long time ago, and it should be unlikely that it will go south, and it can return to the army. ”
