Regarding the provocative move of the Liao army to raid Jinsu, the Great Song court decided to downplay it. He instructed Liu Guangshi, the Xuanfu judge who was in charge of Sichuan and Shaanxi, to negotiate with the Khitans, urging them to withdraw their garrisons and return the city. Because the Western Army has been led by Xu Wei for many years, under the premise that it has the power to "act cheaply", the Western Army often takes the initiative to attack, and the imperial court knows about it afterwards. In order to prevent the Western Army from taking radical actions, Qin Hui strictly ordered Liu Guangshi to restrain the marshals of all roads, but those who acted excessively will be punished by military law and severely punished!

As soon as the order reached Shaanxi, all roads were in an uproar! Over the years, the Western Army has fought in all directions, and it is invincible, impregnable, and unbreakable, and only takes advantage of it and does not suffer losses. This time, the Liao army came to the door and disarmed the troops and released them, which had already aroused the indignation of the Western Army. Now the imperial court actually ordered the Western Army not to take drastic actions, but just let the Xuanfu Division negotiate with the Liao! What is the rationale for this?

After receiving the order, Xu Hong, the commander of Yan Yan, immediately protested to Liu Guangshi, pointing out that the actions of the Liao people amounted to a declaration of war. If you don't return the color now, the foreign Yi will not only despise the Western army, but also despise the imperial court. This time it is appeased, and there will be endless troubles in the future! At the very least, the Yan army should be ordered to attack Jinsu, recapture the city, and avenge this arrow, so that the Khitan people know that if the Great Song Dynasty does not rub sand in his eyes, he will repay it!

Liu Guangshi is under the strict orders of the imperial court, how dare he agree? At the same time, he also knew that Xu Hong was Xu Wei's cousin, nicknamed "Red-haired Tiger" in the army, with old seniority, great military achievements, and high status. Therefore, he didn't dare to be too big, and repeatedly explained to Yan Yan Shuaisi that this was the court's good intentions, and in order to avoid fighting and not worsening the situation, he had to negotiate.

Where is Xu Hong willing to listen? Repeat the battle! Seeing this, Liu Guangshi also had some fire. Now that I am the commander of the Western Army, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, even if you are Xu Wei's cousin, you have to give me some face, right? You still have to listen to the military order, right? Didn't you keep me from coming off the stage? In a fit of rage, he issued a strict order to Yan Yan Jingluo to appease the division, and those who dared to speak up and ask for war and acted without permission would be punished for violating moderation!

When the order arrived in Yan'an, the Yan soldiers were furious. But you are indignant, Captain Liu is now the highest commander of the Western Army, if you start to do it, it is not a joke. Xu Hong was helpless and did not speak further. However, it still made the Yan army more vigilant and pay close attention to the movements of the Liao army.

In order to calm the situation as soon as possible, this trouble was closed. Liu Guangshi entrusted the military officer Ma Kuo of the Xuanfu Department to "return to the old business", and once again went to Xingqing Mansion as an envoy from Sichuan and Shaanxi to meet Xiao Duolubu, negotiate with the Liao army on Jinsu, and demanded that Xiao Duolu not return the land and city, as well as the weapons and equipment surrendered.

Although Ma Kuo is a professional in "diplomacy", the behavior of the imperial court has already set the tone for this matter. How can diplomacy be conducted without the threat of force? Even if I go to Xingqing Mansion, Xiao Duolu won't treat me as a clove of garlic! So, under the pretext of physical reasons, he politely refused to be sent.

When Liu Guangshi saw it, he didn't dare to use force. Ma Kuo is Xu Wei's old team, and he has considerable prestige in both the army and the Xuanfu Division. If he doesn't go, then that's it, Liu Ziyu will go to the head office, right? Who knows, Liu Yanxiu also had a bunch of excuses, and he also refused to go to Xingqing. If these two don't go, then Zhang Qing and Wu Gong won't be able to say anything.

Liu Guangshi only found out at this time that Xuanfu Si was a mess, and he couldn't command at all! On weekdays, when there is nothing to do, it is a group of harmony, and the real thing is coming, and no one will buy his account! But the task sent by the imperial court will not be completed until it is completed, and it will not be possible to delay it. There was really no way, he could only find officials who did not belong to Xu Wei's system.

Looking around, there really isn't! Xuanfu Division up and down, which one was not promoted by Xu Wei? Xu Wei is not here, these people are only Zhang, Ma, Liu, and Wu Ma, and it is not easy for you to call anyone. Helplessly, Liu Guangshi stared at the Xingyuan prefect. This Xingyuan prefect turned out to be the prefect of Chengdu, because he often sang against Xu Wei in Chengdu, Zijin Tiger was angry, and transferred the prefect of Xingyuan to the prefect of Chengdu, and brought him to his side, I called you dishonest!

This person does not belong to Xu Wei's party, and as soon as Liu Guangshi contacted him, he immediately agreed. After explaining the official affairs of the prefect's yamen, he immediately went north to the summer realm and went to negotiate with Xiao Duolu. Why is this Xingyuan prefect so active? First of all, as mentioned earlier, he is not a person from Xu Wei's system, and he is dissatisfied with Xu Wei, and now that Liu Guangshi is here, he is naturally supportive; Secondly, he served as the prefect of Xingyuan and set up a council with Xu Wei in a city. I often saw the envoys of the Liao people coming to Xingyuan Mansion, and they were very polite to Sichuan and Shaanxi. I thought that if I went, the Liao people would treat each other politely and did not dare to make a mistake.

So he went out of the border, informed the Liao army stationed on the border of the relevant situation, and marched all the way to Xingqing Mansion. On the way, I saw that the people of the summer realm, regardless of race, were cultivating wasteland everywhere. He didn't care, he really thought about the mission. When I arrived at Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xia Kingdom in the past, it became more and more contemptuous. Why? He originally served in Chengdu, and the prosperity and wealth of the country of abundance improved his horizons, even if he later came to Xingyuan, it was a big city. Now when I look at Xingqing Mansion, or the original capital of Xia Kingdom, it actually looks like this? The city is not big, the houses are not high, the market is narrow, dirty and messy, and the people are all unkempt, no people, no ghosts, and it is really unbearable.

Xiao Duolu didn't hear that an envoy from Sichuan and Shaanxi was coming, and he didn't dare to be careless, after all, although Xu Wei had left his post, his residual power was still there. Then he ordered to treat each other politely, please enter the museum to stay first, and say that they will meet the next day.

The next day, the two sides met at the Yamen of Xiao Duolubu's general manager. Mr. Xiao has been to Xingyuan several times and is very familiar with Xu Wei's set of people and horses in the Propaganda Division. Whether it is Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo, or Zhang Qing, they have long been familiar with each other. Now when I saw this official, I was angry, and after asking for advice, it turned out to be the prefect of Xingyuan.

After learning his identity, Mr. Xiao thought that since he was the prefect of Xingyuan, he must be Xu Wei's confidant. Otherwise, why stay with you? So they saluted him.

When the prefect of Xingyuan saw this, he shook his majesty. First of all, he severely criticized the rude behavior of the Liao army in attacking Jinsu, and stated that although Song and Liao are not allies now, the well water of the two sides does not interfere with the river water, and they have always been peaceful, so why provoked trouble? Later, he put forward the request of the Great Song court, urging the Khitans to return the Tucheng city and weapons and equipment.

Xiao Duolu didn't respect him, and said that his words were softer. pointed out that Song Liao was originally a country of brothers, and the gold thieves were in turmoil, and there were some dirty disputes between the two countries. However, time has passed, and no one wants to mention it. Later, you Xu Xuanfu advocated strongly and formed an alliance to unanimously oppose Jin. The results were also very fruitful, destroying the party and dividing its land equally. Just waiting to gather strength and defeat the Jurchens. At this time, you reneged on the covenant and unilaterally negotiated peace with the Jurchens. This is a very rude act! But you are still insufficient, and the Jurchens are constantly moving, both openly and secretly.

I want to take Dongsheng, Heqing, Jinsu and other places, you Xu Xuanfu said yes. I respect him for being a famous handsome man who resists gold, and I will give you three points of courtesy, and I will ask you to take it. But you took it in order to return it to the Jurchens, isn't this playing with us Khitans as monkeys? Didn't do that!

It's been even more amazing lately! The border field was opened when the Western Xia was still around. We, the Khitans, have been in close trade with Sichuan and Shaanxi, taking what they need, and benefiting each other. Xu Xuanfu once told me in person that even if Song Liao is no longer an alliance, everyone is still a friend, and this business is a deal.

But what's going on now? Overnight, you closed all the bars and cut off trade at the border. What's going on? Do you really want to get together with the Jurchens and unanimously deal with me Da Liao?

Xiao Duolu didn't say anything, and the Xingyuan prefect didn't listen to it at all. He was originally an official in Sichuan, how do you know the Tao here? So he responded to Manager Xiao and said that these actions were all orders of the imperial court and the internal affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and outsiders did not need to ask. You said that you had an appointment with Xu Xuanfu at the beginning, but that's right, and now he is no longer Xuanfu's envoy. Now it is Liu Xuan, who is in charge of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Xu Ziang is too many to count. Or don't take the topic away, Jin Sujun, do you say to pay it back, or don't you pay it back?

As soon as he heard this, Manager Xiao knew that he would be wrong. Co-author, aren't you Xu Wei's person? Then what am I doing to be polite to you for a long time?

After figuring this out, Xiao Duolu was not so polite. Ask the prefect of Xingyuan, what do you say is the current ruling Liu Xuanju, right? Is it the original Huanqing Jingluo appeasement? The prefect of Xingyuan said yes.

Xiao Duolu didn't ask again, was it the one who knocked my envoy out of the yamen and expelled him that day? The prefect of Xingyuan also knew about this, and did not respond at the moment, only saying that the envoy had no words and insulted the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the imperial court, so what happened.

Xiao Duolu is not angry! The case was angrily reprimanded, Song Liao was originally a brother, and my family thieves made trouble, if you don't help, just take advantage of the fire to rob! Ally with the Jurchens! Send an army of 100,000 to attack my Yanyun! I was defeated by Emperor Dezong for a while, and I was driven to Xiongzhou! This kind of treacherous villain's action is really despised by a gentleman!

After the Jurchens occupied the Liao realm, did they share Yanyun with you as promised? Didn't you? People changed their faces in a blink of an eye, and the army went south, stepping on the mountains and rivers in the south, and it was shattered! Do you know what it's called? It's called self-inflicted! Later, you couldn't hold it anymore, and came to us to ask us to form an alliance. I, the Khitans, take into account the overall situation and join forces with you again, who knows, the villain is the villain, and you have betrayed the alliance again! The kingdom that gave birth to sages like Confucius and Mencius is so devastating! What other country of etiquette and righteousness do you deserve?

Now, you still have the face to ask me for Jin Su! Tell you! I'm still light when I take Jinsu! Go back and tell Liu Guangshi that if there is any more provocative and hostile moves, I will never give up!

On that day, you beat my messenger with sticks, and you were rude! But our Da Liao is to respect Confucius and Mencius, and the most benevolent, righteous and etiquette, I don't embarrass you today, you go!

The prefect of Xingyuan rushed to come, thinking that he occupied the highest point of morality, and he was going to say that the Khitan people were blushing and ashamed, and returned to Jinsu. Who knows, let Xiao Duolu not speak, and he was so embarrassed and speechless. In a panic, he covered his face with his sleeves and came out in embarrassment.

Hurried all the way, ran back to Shaanxi, saw Liu Guangshi, only said that the Liao people were very rude, refused to return, and also made threats, which was very hateful! Although Liu Guangshi was furious, he had no choice but to report to the court truthfully. The attitude of the Khitans is so tough, we must be careful to guard against it. In view of this, he ordered the commanders of the three roads of Yanyan, Jingyuan, and Xihe to be on strict alert, and at the same time, close the border and prohibit contact!

At this juncture, Liu Guangshi has not forgotten his descendants. As soon as the situation eased slightly, he put the abolition of the Huanqing Jinglu pacification department on the agenda, and in August, he formally ordered the revocation of the establishment of the Huanqing Jingluo pacification department. Its old defense area, the Security Army and Qingyang Mansion, were assigned to the Yanyan Jinglu Pacification Division, and the Dingbian Army and Huanqing were assigned to the Jingyuan Jinglu Pacification Division. Its original garrison was not dispersed, and the whole army was merged into the Liangxing Pacification Division, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Propaganda Division.

How many people did Wang Yan command to pacify Si Yuan in Liangxing? 30,000 people. How many troops does the Huanqing Army have? Nearly forty thousand. Now that it is merged, all 70,000 horses are under the direct control of the Xuanfu Division, that is, under the personal command of Liu Guangshi, accounting for a quarter of the total strength of the Western Army. You must know that the regular army of the Western Army is only 270,000 foot cavalry.

Moreover, the Liangxing Pacification Division is located in Xingyuan Mansion and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Division. Wang Yan is also Xu Wei's old subordinate, so his troops are no different from other elite troops in the Jinglu Pacification Division in terms of soldier quality and weaponry, and they are not worse than the Huanqing Army.

Liu Guangshi's hand wants to control 70,000 elite soldiers, and Xu Wei's abacus may not be so fine.

As soon as this incident came out, it annoyed the two marshals Yan Yan and Jingyuan. In the history of Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty, the Yan Yan Jinglu Pacification Division and the Jingyuan Jinglu Pacification Division have always been the two larger commanders. The area and scope of its defense area are already wide, and now you have withdrawn the Huanqing Army and assigned the defense area to them, and their strength has not increased, so it will inevitably increase the pressure on the two divisions of Yan Yan and Jingyuan, and it will inevitably force them to disperse their forces and assume greater responsibilities.

Yan Yanshuai Xu Hong, who had already had an unpleasant quarrel with Liu Guangshi because of the issue of Liao Zhanhe, only held his breath this time and said nothing. Jingyuan handsome Xu Cheng is said to be a small character, but the Xu family has been in Jingyuan for three generations, and if it is not good, it is like the emperor of the soil. Xu Wei is here, Xu Cheng, a nephew, has nothing to say, let him do whatever he wants. Now that Xu Wei is leaving, in Xu Cheng's eyes, which ** hair are you Liu Guangshi? You threw the defense zone at me and asked me to send troops to garrison it? I'm sorry, I'm not that soldier! You say that my Jingyuan Road has the strongest troops among the roads in Shaanxi? And statistics? Then why don't you say that I am still facing the Liao army?

Liu Guangshi didn't care if the two Xu family marshals complained, he just took away the troops and threw down the empty Huanqing Road. Anyway, the defense area is empty, and my order has been issued, I don't believe you dare to ignore it.

As a result, he was calculated. Whether it was Yan Yan Xu Hong or Jingyuan Xu Cheng, they didn't dare to let Huanqing be empty. There is no trivial matter in defense issues, emotions are emotions, and if the enemy comes to take advantage of the situation, it will be too late to cry at that time. So, Xu Hong sent his generals to lead the army into the security army, Xu Cheng saw that the fifth uncle moved, and then also sent troops to enter the Huanzhou and Dingbian army. Although the uncle and nephew were forced to do so in desperation, in their hearts, they had already taken out the eight generations of Liu Guangshi's ancestors and scolded them cleanly.

Liu Guangshi was quite proud after hearing the news, aren't you two Xu Wei's family? Now I am in charge, and I call you a cow!

After the Huanqing army went south, one was stationed in Fengzhou, north of Xingyuan Mansion, and the other was stationed in Xingzhou, west of Xingyuan Mansion. In these two places, the troops of Wang Yan's Liangxing Pacification Division were already stationed. What did Liu Guangshi let Wang Yan's troops do? Build barracks, build military villages, and build nests for the new troops.

Wang Yan is a temper tantrum, and he scolds his mother as soon as he hears this order! I have to rush to the Xuanfu Division to reason with Liu Guangshi! Fuck you! I was originally in charge of Xu Xuanfu's own troops, and I rarely used them in battles, so you asked me to build you a house? Engaged in engineering? Why the hell don't you let Huan Qingjun do it himself? What's wrong? Pick up a soft pinch? You don't dare to provoke other handsome people in Shaanxi Zhulu, you came to bully me, right? Straight sissy thief! I'm not done with you!

But I thought about Xu Wei and told him when he left, saying that no matter how difficult it is, you have to keep an eye on the troops and don't go on a business trip. So, Wang Yan held back his anger and carried out the order.

After the troops were settled, the reorganization of the Liangxing pacification division was immediately followed. The full name of the Liangxing Pacification Division is "Xing (Yuanfu), Xing (Zhou), Feng (Zhou), and Yang (Zhou) Pacification Division", which was a "reserve" unit set up in "Shukou" out of war needs. In order to prevent the war from collapsing, the Jin army entered Sichuan along the Jialing River. It was the last line of defense of the Western Army that year.

Later, the tide of the battle reversed, and Xu Wei led the Western Army to drive out the Jurchens. Wang Yan's troops also had nowhere to go, and the other turf brother troops were occupied. So Xu Wei reorganized it into the status quo and set it as a force directly under the Xuanfu Division. Listening, it seems to be Xu Wei's pro-army, but in fact, the Western Army knows that the pro-army of Zijin Tiger is Qin Fengjun controlled by Zhang Xian and Yongxing Army controlled by Yang Yan. The former was founded by Xu Wei, and the root is the Xiangyong Battalion brought out by the Daimyo Mansion back then. The latter, which is completely separated from the Tiger Army, is actually in the same vein.

If Liu Guangshi wants to reorganize the Liangxing Pacification Division, it will inevitably involve conflicts of interest and considerations. The supreme commander of the troops is him, needless to say. But after all, he is the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and it is impossible to go around the barracks every day. There has to be someone, a trustworthy person, who will take charge of these 70,000 troops in his place.

But when I looked around, I couldn't find such a person. Huanqingjun, the first marshal was Wang Xiang, and later Wang Xiang was dismissed and changed to Quduan. Later, Qu Duan was replaced by Liu Guangshi. Therefore, the composition of the Huanqing Army is very complicated, there is an old team like a king, and there is an old department built by Qu Duan, Liu Guangshi has been in Huanqing for so many years, and he has not been able to get his own people. At first, in order to fight against Quduan's old department, he had to borrow Liu Qi, Li Yanxian and others arranged by Xu Wei to come to Huanqinglai.

But now, these two people don't dare to use it. Others who dare to use it are difficult to take on this great responsibility. After thinking about it, he made another suggestion to the imperial court.

On this day, when the officials of the Xuanfu Division arrived at the Yamen, Liu Guangshi greeted him early, and everyone gathered in the morning to discuss an important matter. He didn't say what it was. However, Zhang Qing and others speculated that it may be related to the Liangxing Pacification Division. When Wang Yan appeared in the Xuanfu Division, they knew that they had guessed correctly.

In order to show formality, Liu Xuanju deliberately chose to gather all the officials in the main hall of the Xuanfu Division. Since he pronounced the verdict, the staff officers, the senators, the consul general, the supervisor of the office, the preparation of the mission, and the preparation of the dispatch have gathered together. Naturally, there are two more to appease Prince Wang Yan.

Because the chief officer of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Division is also the highest military governor in the local area, this promotion is very impressive. The civil and military squads entered in separate columns, and the tooth soldiers stood on the side in full armor. Liu Guangshi was purple-robed and gold-belted, and the Malaysian golden knife sat behind the handsome case, and the officials saluted him before he sat down.

This meeting is actually very embarrassing, because except for Liu Guangshi, everyone else is not all the way with him. The people below are waiting to see what tricks he has to play. Recently, because of the Liao-related incident, the apparent harmony between him and the staff of the Xuanfu Division has also been affected. Everyone is gradually starting to see the real tricks under their hands.

Liu Guangshi understood this, so he would not bend to flattery, and after sitting down, he said in a loud voice that he had trained his fellow people in his decades of military career: "Summoning you to the festival hall today is an important matter to discuss. Duty officer, roll call! ”

The officials below looked at each other, roll call? To whom is it meant to be so solemn? The office clerks on duty took the roster and sang them one by one, and all the staff of the Propaganda and Fu Division were there, and there was only one one to do office work. It was Officer Cao who started from Xujiazhuang and followed Xu Wei.

"Where's Secretary Cao?" Liu Guangshi asked coldly in the hall.

It was quiet down there, and no one paid any attention to him. Seeing this, Liu Guangshi was not annoyed, and said to himself: "This department points out, and those who are late and absent without reason will be engaged in military law." ”

There was still no reaction from below, as no one took his words seriously. According to military law, the commander will be fine, and those who are late for absence without reason will be given twenty rods. Although Officer Cao's official position is humble, he is an old man brought out by Xu Xuanfu from the Daimyo Mansion back then. In terms of qualifications, there are not necessarily a few people in this department who are higher than him, but you can call us to see?

After Liu Guangshi finished speaking, he coughed dryly twice and said the main topic: "The abolition of the Huanqing Jingluo Pacification Division was approved by the imperial court and approved by the Holy Emperor." Now that everything has been completed, the troops under the jurisdiction of the Huanqing Shuai Division have also arrived in Fengzhou and Xingzhou to station. From now on, there will be no Huanqing Army, and they are all under the direct jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Division. Previously, there were Liangxing pacification divisions that existed as military divisions directly under the Xuanfu Division. In order to avoid overlapping institutions, the two militaries should cooperate in one place. ”

"However, Liangxing pacified the division with 30,000 foot riders. If you join the original Huanqing Army, nearly 70,000 troops, which has already surpassed the Economic Strategy Pacification Division of Shaanxi Zhulu, which is not commensurate with the establishment of the Pacification Division. I intend to abolish the establishment of the Liangxing Pacification Division, and set up another division to command these 70,000 troops in moderation. To this end, I have made a proposal to the Imperial Court, what do you think? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan suddenly rushed to his head with a burst of anger! Previously, you asked Lao Tzu's Liangxing Army to build barracks and build a military village for your Huanqing troops, and Lao Tzu recognized it. What is it now? Do you still want to abolish the establishment of the Liangxing Pacification Division and set up another division? You don't take my king seriously? You don't take Xu Xuanfu seriously?

Thinking of this, he was about to get up and spray wildly, Zhang Qingzao stared at him. As soon as he wanted to get up, he stopped him with a look. In Xu Wei's old army, everyone from top to bottom knew that Zhang Qing was his big butler. Therefore, Zhang San has a lot of prestige in the army, and even Wang Yan's temper has to give him three points. Seeing Zhang Qing's anxious eyes, he suppressed his anger and only clenched his teeth.

Ma Zichong is also a straightforward person, and immediately said: "Taiwei wants to set up another division to control the 70,000 horse infantry army." I don't know, where is this division stationed? ”

Liu Guangshi looked at him and replied: "Naturally, it is stationed around the station of the Xuanfu Division, so why ask?" Otherwise, how can it be called the direct jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Division? ”

Ma Kuo said again: "The commanders of Shaanxi Zhulu are stationed in various places for the needs of the war, so it is so. The troops under its jurisdiction are stationed in key places where roads are rushing and mountains and forests are dangerous. Around this Xuanfu Division, there are already many strong troops, and the verdict is to put 70,000 troops here, why bother? ”

Of course, Liu Guangshi will not say, I want to control these 70,000 elite soldiers in my own hands. He replied in a high-sounding manner: "Zhisi is in Xingyuan, and he is using these 70,000 steps as a reserve force. If war breaks out, if it is needed along the way, it will be thrown to that place in case of emergency. ”

"It's weird again." Ma Kuo is very much like a "fighter against counterfeiting", compared with Liu Guangshi. "If you talk about reserve forces, the Yongxing Jingluo Pacification Division in Guanzhong, and the Qin Feng Jingluo Pacification Division in Longyou all exist as Zhulu strategies. Taiwei gathered 70,000 troops around Xingyuan, unless the enemy had conquered Guanzhong and approached Sichuan, otherwise ......"

Liu Guangshi's face did not change, and asked, "Otherwise, what else?" ”

"Otherwise, there will be a suspicion of doing so." Ma Kuo did not back down.

Liu Guangshi listened, but did not express his position, and asked the others: "What else do you think?" ”

Zhang Qing couldn't see any expression on his dark face, and asked: "Tai Lieutenant, if you set up another division, I would like to know the structure of this division." Is it to add a strategic pacification division? ”

Liu Guangshi didn't say much, just two words: "No." ”

"If it weren't for the addition of a strategic pacification department, then what other institution would be able to command 70,000 elite infantry horses?" Zhang Qingdao.

Liu Ziyu also said at this time: "Now the Jin forces have completely withdrawn from the Yellow River. Hedong is also under my control. The only thing bordering us is the Khitan. If it is said that it is necessary to defend the border, there are already three commanders along the border. Zhisi Xingyuan? The lower officials are really puzzled. ”

Liu Guangshi seemed to be forced by these people to not get off the stage, and he was speechless for a while, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly. After a long time, he said in a muffled voice: "I intend to revoke the establishment of the Liangxing Pacification Division, and the department will be combined with the original Huanqing Army." Reorganization and rectification, directly under the Xuanfu Division. ”

"So? Isn't it a separate company? Rather, it is directly commanded by the Xuanfu Division? If this is the case, what do you need to do with Yanyan, Yongxing, Jingyuan, Qinfeng, and Xihe? Wouldn't it be inconvenient to revoke them all together, and the departments will be unified under the direct jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Division? Ma Kuo raised his pole.

Liu Guangshi heard it, looked directly at Ma Zichong and said: "Staff Officer Ma doesn't have to joke, I will ride these 70,000 steps under the direct jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Division as a deterrent." In order to see, at a critical juncture, the Xuanfu Division is not constrained by any force. His words were insinuating, and there was a bit of a hint of provoking.

In the past, when Xu Wei had not yet commanded the Western Army, the most elite army of the Great Song Dynasty had a lot of bad habits. For example, when Xu Shao and Wang Shu were in charge of Shaanxi, there were often marshals who did not follow moderation, let the troops not be transferred, and let the war not be warned, while the Xuanfu Division itself, as a non-permanent organization, did not have an army directly under its own jurisdiction, so it could only stare dryly.

Later, Xu Shao came up with an idea, that is, to draw troops from the various divisions to form a force directly under the Xuanfu Division. In order to be at the moment of death, not to be affected by the bird spirit of the handsome people from all walks of life.

But I don't know which year's yellow calendar, Liu Guangshi's old words are repeated, which means that Shaanxi Zhulu has been operated by Xu Wei for many years, and he may not be able to command. With 70,000 elite soldiers in his hands, at a critical juncture, he can not be constrained by the marshals and prevent them from pulling their hind legs.

Zhang Qing knew the origin of this best, so he said: "In the past, such as Qu Duan and others, they supported the army and respected themselves, fearing disasters and avoiding wars, which made the Xuanfu Division very passive. But now, how can there be such a bullshit thing? I only saw that the front-line soldiers asked for help, and the company strictly ordered the soldiers not to move on the grounds of taking into account the overall situation. I don't see anyone who dares to go against the decree of Liu's sentence. ”

"Not today, doesn't mean tomorrow. As a marshal, I was appointed by the imperial court to be in charge of the military and political affairs of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and my former colleagues were inevitably a little dissatisfied. If the Xuanfu Division does not directly govern a considerable number of troops, in case of an incident, there is a marshal who abolishes justice with personal grievances, what can he do? Liu Guangshi asked.

Zhang Qing, Ma Kuo and the others below were silent, and Wang Yan couldn't hold back when he heard this. Protest said: "The verdict is to gather 70,000 elite soldiers, more than any way in Shaanxi!" But it is placed around Xingyuan, not on the side, not fighting, is it just to protect the verdict? ”

Liu Guangshi's face changed, his eyes flashed, and he said angrily: "Wang appeased!" On top of the festival, you have to pay attention to your words! If I don't see that you are a veteran general in the army, I will definitely punish you! ”

Wang Yan's anger was about to break through the Tianling Gai, gritted his teeth, propped up the armrest of the chair, and said loudly: "I have two Xing pacifying Si Zhen guarding Hanzhong, and Gong Wei has been soothing for a long time, and there is no difference between the pool!" Announcing the sentence to withdraw the Huanqing Army is an extra move! You are now in charge of the military and political affairs of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the western army is under your control, and you are afraid that the military power will not be able to fall! ”

The people in this officialdom have no martial arts, and they must be thick-skinned. Even if they slept together with prostitutes last night and met today, they still have to worry about the country and the people, sing high-pitched songs to each other, and never pierce that layer of window paper. Wang Yan made this mistake, who of the people present didn't know Liu Guangshi's thoughts? People don't say it, you have to come to Daopo, aren't you looking for fun? Isn't it that Liu Guangshi can't get off the stage?

Really! Mrs. Liu was annoyed and angry, and his old face turned red! I was so angry that my beard trembled, and it seemed that even my breathing had stopped! After a long while, he choked out in one breath and shouted: "Wang Yan! Hugh has to rely on you as Taiwei Xu's old department! I don't care about anyone! Now I am the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and you are my subordinate! Dare to roar! Around! ”

As soon as the front tooth soldiers heard the call, they all came inside, but they all stopped outside the threshold.

Zhang Qing saw that things were a little out of control, so he said: "Brother Zicai, in this important place, the chief is respected. How can you be reckless? We know you're just hot-tempered, but the chief doesn't. I thought you were deliberately contemptuous. Sit down and don't get impatient. ”

Wang Yan gritted his teeth with hatred, but when he heard Zhang Qing say this, he forced the fire down, widened his eyes, and sat on the chair.

Zhang Qing turned back to Liu Guangshi and smiled: "Taiwei, it's just a matter of facts, why should Taiwei Xu be involved?" Now, he has resigned from his position and retired to the mountains and forests, what does it matter to him? "In other words, Xu Wei was the most wronged, and he was shot while lying down.

Liu Guangshi heard what he said, and saw Wang Yan sitting back, if he really wanted to be more energetic, the situation would inevitably be difficult to control, so he could only keep silent and snort angrily. When Zhang Qing saw it, he waved his hand outward, and the tooth soldiers naturally retreated.

After this trouble, the atmosphere in the hall was even more awkward. For a long time, all the officials were silent. Liu Guangshi couldn't say anything if he continued to talk. Left and right, today's deliberation is just a pretense, just to inform the group of people. Then he said: "That's it, let's do it for the time being, let's do our own thing." After finishing speaking, he got up angrily and walked away. After the officials got up to see each other, Zhang Qing looked at Wang Yan and shook his head, then pointed out again, signaling him to go, so he broke up unhappily.

Zhang Qing and the others returned to their respective rooms to work, and they were fine. Towards noon, when he overheard a commotion outside, and a messenger was hurrying past his door, and he stopped and asked, "What is the noise outside?" ”

"Senator, Officer Cao came back from the office, Liu Xuanju let the sergeant take it, and he was about to beat the military stick!" The man replied.

Zhang Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard this! immediately got up and went out, only to see Secretary General Cao standing in the atrium, turning his face to the side. Four sergeants, two carrying a stool, each holding a baton, were in a stalemate. Ma Kuo had already arrived, and Liu Ziyu and Wu Gong also came out.

"What's going on?" Ma Kuo asked.

A soldier replied with a bitter face: "Staff officer, Taiwei Liu, the festival hall is deliberating, Officer Cao is absent for no reason, and he will be beaten with twenty military sticks." ”

Ma Kuo's thick eyebrows were twisted, and he said that this was a play on the topic. In the festival hall, Wang Yan's anger was nowhere to be sprinkled, and just then, Officer Cao bumped into the knife. Looking sideways at Zhang Qing is also a general description.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this ...... How to ......" the sergeant did not do.

At this moment, Liu Guangshi came out of it, saw the situation at the scene, and said loudly: "What? Is military law child's play? Was that the same in the old days? ”

Zhang Qing heard what he said, and he was ruthless, and raised his head: "Do what you want." ”

The sergeant listened to Senator Zhang's words and whispered to Officer Cao: "Do it, I'm offended." ”

Officer Cao is a veteran of Xu Wei in the end, although he hasn't figured out what is going on, but he wants to never embarrass Xu Xuanfu, so he immediately took off his head, pulled his belt, took off his official robe, and threw it all into the hands of the soldiers. Then, he climbed down and said proudly: "Just hit, one less stick, I won't rest with you!" If I scream, I'm not a hero! ”

Zhang Qing made a "tsk" in his mouth and turned his head to the side, what's wrong today? Whoever touches it is a ass temper!

The two sergeants retreated to the side with the clothes of Officer Cao, and the two baton sergeants said "offended" again, so they picked up the baton and beat it down. This is raised high and gently fallen, which is not the specialty of the officials in the yamen, and the sergeants will also. It seemed that the stick was like a farmer beating a field with a flail, but in fact it had already lost seven points of force in the middle of the fall, and it was between the legs and thighs, and it was crackling, but in fact it was not really beaten.

However, after all, people are flesh and blood. The weight of the military stick was not light, and no matter how merciful the sergeants were, it still hurt. Fortunately, Officer Cao followed the Purple Tiger Uprising before he was weak, and for decades, he survived after a few rolls in the sea of blood on the battlefield. was stunned and silent, and his brows were not furrowed.

Zhang Qing and the others next to him didn't look at it, but they only heard the "pop" twenty sticks. When I went to see Liu Guangshi again, there was no shadow.

After the fight, the two sergeants hurriedly sent their clothes and clothes up for Officer Cao. The man with the stick stood by, and he retreated in fear. After Officer Cao finished loving it, he took two steps forward, kicked on the side leg of a sergeant, and scolded: "Donkey day! How did the tenth stick confiscate the reins? It's really on Lao Tzu's belly! ”

The sergeant smiled and said, "The official forgives me, but I panicked for a while and confiscated it." ”

"!" Officer Cao waved his hand. The sergeants brought their own guys and dispersed.

Officer Cao came forward and said to Zhang Qing and the others: "The chiefs can now tell the villain, which immortal did you offend today?" The city wall in the northwest corner of the city was in disrepair, and the foundation was trapped, so Xingyuan Mansion asked the department to send personnel to inspect it. The villain goes out on a business trip, and when he comes back, he will be beaten with a military stick? ”

Zhang Qing sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have grievances, you are only suffering for the prince." If there is something, go to him and let him compensate you. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Yan had already sent someone to the Xuanfu Division to guard, and as soon as he saw people coming out, he invited Zhang Qing and Ma Kuo to the house to eat and drink. Both Zhang and Ma knew that eating and drinking was fake, and discussing countermeasures was true. But he didn't shirk it, but let the people go back to spread the word, and they came back to the house to change their clothes.

Liangxing pacification division because the division is in Xingyuan, as the chief official, Wang Yan's home is also in Xingyuan City. It's not far from Ma Kufu. Therefore, when Zhang Qing went, he happened to see Wang Yan jumping up and down in the hall to complain to Ma Kuo.

Seeing that Senator Zhang arrived, Wang Yan was like a bitter master, and he was even exempted from being polite, so he came up and said, "Brother, you came just in time!" Let's talk about it, today in the hall, did Liu Guangshi pull the tiger skin as a banner on that donkey day, and use chicken feathers as an arrow? In the Western Army, there is nothing to do with his Liu family for a long time, and in the Zhulu of Shaanxi, he Liu Guangshi is a chicken feather? Who used to look upon him? I'll fuck it! Deceived Lao Tzu? also kept saying that he was involved in the father-in-law! What is it? ”

Seeing that he was really indignant, Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Did you invite us to eat and drink, or did you listen to your complaints?" Otherwise, let's set up a public court, let your servants in the house serve as three classes of servants, and invite your brother to be promoted to the court, and I will be a pen clerk to let you have a good time? ”

Wang Yan said "hi": "When is this, do you still have the heart to joke?" ”

Ma Kuo also said later: "Brother Zicai, are you still eating this wine?" If you don't eat, I'll go home and eat! ”

Wang Yan was helpless, and pulled Zhang Qing and said, "Okay, good!" It's time to get ready for the banquet! Side please, side please! I know, if you don't have a good time, you won't be able to get to the point! ”

Zhang Qing looked at Ma Kuo and said with a smile: "This person, he himself said that he invited us to have a drink, but it was on us." Forget it, Brother Zichong, let's go! ”
