Chapter 393: Resolute and resolute
For his father, he was called to leave Tokyo to stay behind, and he was ordered to enrich Shaanxi, and the foreign stomach army was stunned.
Xu Liu and Xu Jiu looked at each other, both surprised, why was it so fast? The court promised so well? Didn't you say that Wu Min of the Lord and the Lord came to power? And Geng Nanzhong is still a phase, so he didn't get in the way?
Xu Shao saw the appearance of his two sons and nephews. deliberately asked: "Guess what, why did Zhenjiang Xing agree?" Why don't those people obstruct it? Those people were referring to a group of leaders and ministers with Geng Nanzhong as the leader, and he asked this question with the intention of testing his son and nephew's views on current affairs.
Xu Wei knew from Li Gang that in the Song Dynasty, once all ministers at the level of prime minister were released from foreign posts and put in charge of military and civilian affairs at the local level, there was basically no hope of returning to the central government. The third uncle turned out to be a privy envoy and was in power, no matter what the purpose of Zhao Mad let him stay in Tokyo, it would be extremely difficult for the third uncle to return to the center. In addition, he has always been a staunch main battle faction, and now that the main peace faction is in power, he can only be excluded when he goes back. In this case, choosing to come to Shaanxi is not so much to serve the country and share worries for the monarch, but to take the initiative to be interested, and even helpless.
Geng Nanzhong has always regarded the third uncle as the number one political enemy, once he learned that he took the initiative to ask for the pacification of Shaanxi, why not hurry up and burn high incense? He is hoping that the third uncle will be driven out of the core of power. As for Zhao Huan's thoughts, I can't guess it, this Great Song Emperor is really elusive, and can only be described as capricious. It is estimated that it is also taking into account that Shaanxi needs Xu Shao to come to such a document, and Wu is also a minister who can preside over the situation.
Xu Wei shook his head: "I don't know."
Xu Shao smiled and asked his son again, "Xu Liu, tell me." ”
Xu Liang pondered about Pian Xuan and replied calmly: "Geng Wu can't tolerate his father in the center, and the official family needs his father to control Shaanxi."
When Xu Shao heard this, he nodded frequently: "My son's words are very true, the official family is now inclined to the main peace, and even if he barely returns to the court, it is also an errand that is blocked at both ends." It is better to be more conscious, and come to Shaanxi to preside over the front line, but it will be at ease
Hearing him say "comfortable", Xu Wei smiled bitterly: "Xingzai gave a vague order to Shaanxi, asking the Western Army to organize an offensive to retaliate against the Jin people for their different surnames in Lianghe." He also mentioned that the purpose is not to regain lost land, but to make people feel uncomfortable
Xu Shao waved his hand, shook his head and said, "I know about this, you don't have to worry." After a pause, he asked, "What is the situation in Shaanxi now?"
Xu Liang took over the conversation: "This is to ask Xu Jingluo."
Xu Wei didn't shirk either. The current situation was concisely and soothingly explained, and a sentence was added at the end: "The lowly post has ordered the front-line troops to disrupt the Jin army's collection of food." ”
"Do the right thing! That's exactly how it should be." Xu Shaolang said. "The Jin people are even deceitful and deceitful, forced to negotiate peace, and now they are setting up a high and rebellious pseudo-dynasty, if they don't return the color. He will gain an inch one day! ”
"Father, the commanders of the Western Army defend the self-respect of the troops, and they have always violated the festival and are not easy to dispatch." Xu Liang gave Lao Tzu a wake-up call in advance.
Xu Shao didn't seem to care at all, and said with a smile: "Now that it is an eventful season, it is the time for the military ministers to serve their orders, if anyone thinks that he has a few soldiers in his hands and ignores his boss, it means that he doesn't want to do it." In that case, don't stand still and let Xian get ahead as soon as possible
Xu Liang heard some extraneous voices from his words, and said in a low voice: "It has been like this for more than a hundred years, I'm afraid it can't be changed overnight, and you can't be in a hurry." ”
"Troubled times use heavy codes! Don't follow the rules! Let's go, don't stop, go directly to the Xuanfu Division. Xu Shao said that he moved, and when the words landed, the person had already stood up. ordered his son and nephew to go out to wait, and he changed his clothes in the room. He wore a purple official robe, put on a black veil, tied a gold belt, hung a fish bag, and went out after tidying up. The edict of the Son of Heaven was handed over to Xu Liang, the envoy of Shaanxi, and he left the museum.
The officials of the various divisions didn't recognize him, but they only saw Xu Liu and Xu Jiu accompanying him in, and it was estimated that when he reappeared in full dress, the hall suddenly became lively. Purple official uniforms, non-civil and military officials above the third grade cannot wear them! Coupled with his gold belt and fish bag, it can be seen at a glance that this is a member of the imperial court!
are all in the officialdom, this bit of vision is still there, and many people realize at the moment that it may be the new Xuanfu appointed by Zhenjiang Xing. It's not good, hurry up and get ready, and this new chief will definitely want to read the divisions later!
Xu Shao led Xu Liang and Xu Wei out of the pavilion, and did not arrange any honor guards, so he let Zijin Tiger lead a team of personal soldiers, supported them back and forth, and went to Xuanfu Division.
The local people in Qinzhou have never seen such high-ranking officials, and they all stopped on the street to watch and discussed. Someone recognized Xu Wei and said excitedly to the people next to him, this little Xu Jing is a little fair! The day he entered the city, we saw it at the city gate! As if he was paraded all the way to the Xuanfu Division, Xu Shao turned over and dismounted, dressed slightly, and walked inside. At this time, most of the officials of the Xuanfu Division had not yet arrived. There are only a few unruly officials who are busy. When they saw the three of them come in, they were all taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Xu Shao had just taken his seat in the main hall, and there were officials who came to pay homage, and they didn't know what the mountain in front of them was. But the one who can let the Purple Gold Tiger follow him can have a lower level
No matter who came to visit, Xu Shao had nothing to say, just nodded. And all the rulers stood in the hall. Seeing him like this, he didn't dare to talk about it, but he just looked forward to the arrival of Xuanfu Judge Wang Shu in a hurry.
Waited left and right, and finally waited for the king. As soon as he went to the court, he was stunned, and saw the officials in the hall standing solemnly with their hands down, saying nothing. Seeing Xu Wei and Xu Liang serving on the left and right, and then looking at the person sitting on the main seat, he was shocked, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, stepped forward, and didn't know what to call it.
Xu Liang whispered something, and after Xu Shao heard it, he asked downward: "You are Wang Shu, the judge of Shaanxi Xuanfu?" ”
"It's Xiaguan." Wang Shu replied.
"The Xuanfu Division is waiting for everyone, can you get there?" Xu Shao asked again.
Wang Shu counted around, nodded and said, "It's all here."
"Okay, where is Xu Liang in Shaanxi?" Xu Shao sat upright and called loudly.
The lower official held the edict in Xu Liang's hand, and said in the lower hall.
"Declare the edict
Xu Liang responded, faced the officials, unfolded the edict of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and read it out loud. The officials in the hall knelt down to receive the holy decree, and they were all surprised when they heard that the one sitting in the hall was the former privy envoy, Xu Shao, who had stayed in Tokyo. But what shocked them even more was still to come, Xu Shao came here, not as simple as taking over as the Xuanfu envoy. His official dispatch is called "Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Ambassador".
Li Gang is a person who has been the prime minister, he proclaimed Shaanxi, and he only called "envoy" and this is the difference between the word "ambassador", and his status and authority are very different! Moreover, the edict is clear and clear, all the things of the soldiers and civilians in Shaanxi will be listened to and decided! To put it in layman's terms, he got on the horse to manage the army, got off the horse to manage the people, in this land of Shaanxi, anything, he said it! Remember, it's anything! Whether it is government affairs, military, personnel, or finance! In addition to acting cheaply, there is also the power of life and death! Full authority! The edict was announced, all the officials congratulated, Xu Shao estimated that it was also because of the background of the military ministers, he didn't come to these politenesses, and there was no superfluous nonsense, just one sentence: "The national disaster is at the head, Jin Kou is hideous, Shaanxi is a place where the country has a strong army, and the responsibility is great!" I hope you will unite sincerely and go to the national disaster together! ”
Hearing this, the hearts of the officials were shocked, and Qi claimed that it was.
Generally speaking, when a new official takes office, there is always a process of getting acquainted with the local situation, but Xu Shao didn't care about this, and immediately ordered: "The most important thing at the moment is to implement the instructions." Presumably you all know that the Jin people in Lianghe set up a high rebellion against the world and built a puppet dynasty. In this regard, the Western Army must react strongly! Xu Wei".
"Humble duty!" The Purple Tiger replied.
"Previously, you presided over the affairs of the Establishment Division, can you draw up a combat strategy?" Xu Shao asked knowingly
"Back to Xianggong, there is a lot of inconvenience in guarding the roads, so the strategy has not yet been drawn up Xu Wei replied.
"The country raises soldiers, just for this time! There is no excuse whatever! You immediately gather all the generals! Xu Shao said.
The group of officials of the Xuanfu Division below listened with their ears pricked up for a long time, and said in their hearts that the new official took office, and he was really resolute! But Shaanxi is not as good as other places, the Western Army has been like this for more than a hundred years, and it is not easy to command them in a unified manner, even if you are Xu Shao.
On the occasion of Xu Shao's assumption of office, Jin Jun gave him a big gift, strictly speaking, this gift was given to Xu Wei.
Since the Purple Gold Tiger was ordered from Qinzhou. Let the front-line army destroy the harvest of the Golden Army. The cavalry of the Song army in Yaozhou, Chang'an, was intensively dispatched and made a mess of the Guanzhong Plain, not to mention the rebels who were fighting guerrillas.
After half a month, Jin Jun was tired of coping. After the grain harvest is counted, it is a big gap from the expected goal! This batch of grain is impossible to eat until the next wheat harvest!
The furious commissioner also ignored any peace proposals, and moved to take revenge on the Western Army. Beginning in mid-May, Jin cavalry crossed the default dividing line between the Song and Jin armies, frequently raiding villages and towns and massacring civilians. The Jin army also held its breath, but within the control of the Western Army, there will never be a single living mouth! No matter if you are young or old, as long as you are alive, you can't escape the Jurchens' fast horse scimitar!
In just a few days, in Yaozhou and the eastern part of Jingzhao Mansion, which were connected with the Jin army, thousands of people were slaughtered! Often a whole village of chickens is left behind! In the past, the Jin army plundered and killed the man, but the woman was taken away and sent to the Huanyi Courtyard for her to vent her animal desires. But this time, in order to show their anger, they took the action of killing them all! Don't leave a living mouth, don't leave a finished room!
The slightly settled surroundings of Chang'an were once again shrouded in the clouds of war, and the panicked people flocked to Chang'an again to seek refuge from the Western Army. Wang Yu and Wu Jie, who were in charge of military affairs on behalf of Xu Wei, decided to fight back after discussion. However, due to the absence of the commander-in-chief, it was impossible to gather a large army to retaliate, so he could only send a small number of cavalry to raid intensively like the Jin army, and closely deploy defenses on his own territory.
Throughout the middle of May, the swords and swords of the Guanzhong Plain, the cavalry of the two armies came and went, and the battle was imminent! (To be continued)
