Chapter 548 Hebei Big Worm

When Zhao Yougong finished reading the holy decree, all the people in Liangshan changed color, and even Su Yuanjing opened a pair of surprised eyes. The holy decree was as usual, but only Song Jiang and Lu Junyi's appointment went wrong, and at that time, I remembered that Xiang Yuan was built to the imperial court, and Lu Junyi was asked to be the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses in Yuezhou, how did he become the commander of the horse steps? And how did Song Jiang's horse step commander become the horse step manager?

The commander of Ma Bu and the head of Ma Bu, in fact, are just different in title, the actual position is to lead the soldiers of one side, originally Song Jiang was the main position, and Lu Junyi was the deputy position, but His Royal Highness Zhao changed this mess, and the two became equals, who did the soldiers and horses listen to in Yuezhou at that time?

Zhao Yougong said that he is not a good person, since he was used by Song Jiang and Wu, he will not be polite, don't you Song Jiang have a conflict with Lu Junyi? Then the king will add some more firewood to you, maybe Lu Junyi doesn't dare to compete with Song Jiang for power, but now that he has the official position of the imperial court, it is difficult for Lu Junyi not to fight, because if you are indisputable, it seems that Song Jiang will not appreciate it.

Whew, Song Jiang breathed a long sigh of relief, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, knowing that His Royal Highness Zhao had secretly set the trap, but he didn't dare to say anything, could it be that he told Zhao Yougong that Lu Junyi couldn't be a horse step commander, he could only be a deputy?

"I'll wait to thank the Holy Lord for his kindness" Song Jiang led his head and made a long gesture, but his face was not very happy, especially Lu Junyi, whose face was more ugly than crying.

After the announcement ended, Zhao Yougong did not stay in Liangshan to accompany Yuanjing to deal with those trivial matters, and returned to Yanggu with Chai Keyan, and pondered about returning to Beijing. As for Song Jiang and the others, I hope they can die bigger, and don't die early at Fang La's hands. Late June. Liangshan soldiers and horses were dismissed a lot. The rest of the elite followed the Song River along the land route south to Liangzhejiang Road. Early July. Chai Keyan also left Yanggu and returned to Bianjing, but just when Zhao Yougong was also about to raise troops and return to Beijing, a major incident happened.

On the ninth day of July, Tian Hu, a thief from Hebei, suddenly took Cangzhou and went south along the canal to rob Linqing, causing all the goods in the warehouse of Linqing wharf to suffer. Originally, Tian Hu was in trouble, and it should be a headache for the Daimyo's Mansion, but this time, His Royal Highness Zhao was more concerned than Tian Hu. Because half of the goods taken away by Tian Hu were from the Qin Palace. Since the end of last year, Zhu Niangzi has secretly operated Linqing, putting half of the industry here in the palm of her hand, and now Tianhu is in trouble in Linqing, can His Royal Highness Zhao not be painful? If it was only Tian Hu who attacked Linqing and approached the Daimyo's Mansion, he wouldn't think it was strange, the thief, of course, where was the rich and robbed, but what surprised Zhao Yougong was that it was just two days before Tian Hu attacked Linqing. The whole army of Guo Yaoshi, who was stationed in the north of Cangzhou, withdrew to the line of the Yongding River, and at the same time, Han Panqiao, the commander of the Nanjing soldiers and horses, personally ordered it. He ordered Xiao Gan, Ye Yi and Bu Qiong, the generals of the Nanjing Garrison, to abandon Xiongzhou and Mozhou, and hold the line of the Baigou River. As soon as the Liao army withdrew, Tian Hu's soldiers and horses went out of Cangzhou and occupied Xiongzhou and other places.

Judging from all kinds of signs, it seems that the Liao soldiers deliberately ceded Xiongzhou and other places to Tian Hu, Ye Luchun was in the water in his head, or how, let go of the important town of Xiongzhou in the north, and let it go in vain, but he went to guard the Baigou River where the city depended.

At present, Tian Hu must be beaten, Zhu Niangzi intends to open the Northland market, and this Tian Hu does not cooperate, no matter what you say, you have to remove this stumbling block, the question is what is going on between Tian Hu and the Liao people? Tian Hu took refuge in the Khitans? Before these were confirmed, Zhao Yougong didn't dare to make a rash move, now he only has 30,000 Dingguo troops in his hands, and he is still successful in the face of Tian Hu, but it is a little unbearable to face Tian Hu and Yeluchun at the same time.

After finding Niu Gao and others, and after some discussion, it was decided to divide the troops into two ways to go north, one led by Xiao Yue into Xiajin County, and one led by Niu Gao into Dezhou Plains County, in short, we must choke Tian Hu's way to go south and east, but Tian Hu can not cause more trouble. After the order to go down, Zhao Yougong rushed to the Daimyo's mansion on horseback.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, the people in the entire Daimyo's Mansion were panicked, and in this ancient city of Beijing, the people rushed to run, and some big families were also busy moving their families south. For the people of the Daimyo Mansion, that Tian Hu is ten times more terrible than Liangshan Song Jiang, Tian Hu was born in Orion, tyrannical temperament, brave and fearless in battle, this scourge to the people, is also a good hand, so the people call Tian Hu "Hebei Big Worm"!

Big worm was not a good name in the Song Dynasty, only bullies and murderers would be called big worms. The chaos in the Daimyo's Mansion is also understandable, Linqing is too close to the Daimyo's Mansion, and Tian Hu can reach it by dozing off.

The people panicked, Liang Zhongshu was even more panicked, His Royal Highness Zhao came, Liang Zhongshu seemed to have found a life-saving straw, waiting for no one else in the hall, Liang Shijie bowed his head and cried, "Your Highness, it is also the life of the lower officials, you see that in the past, the lower officials had more filial piety, but you must save the lives of the lower officials!" ”

Liang Zhongshu is such a nest, it is really a helpless move, Liangshan has been in turmoil before, and it has not been eliminated for many years, especially when he was beaten twice by the Liangshan people, he Liang has already made the official family unhappy, if Tian Hu is allowed to break through the Daimyo's Mansion again, even if Tian Hu does not kill him, the official family will not let him go. In order to survive, what kind of face do you need, what you can count on now is not your father-in-law in the capital, but the invincible His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

Zhao Yougong came to the Daimyo Mansion, of course, to resist Tian Hu's matter, but before that, he had to make some benefits for himself, I thought it would take a lot of talk, but I didn't expect this Liang Shijie to be ruthless. Sitting in the chair, his fingers pointed at the celadon cup, pretending to think about it, and after a long time, he frowned and whispered, "Hey, Liang Zhongshu, that Tian Hu is so vicious, it is not easy to exterminate Tian Hu." Now if you want to destroy Tianhu, there is only one way, and that is to borrow the big seal of Liang Zhongshu to use it. ”

Zhao Yougong's words were flat, Liang Zhongshu swallowed dryly, and it seemed that thousands of words were blocked in his throat. His Royal Highness Zhao's meaning is already very clear, that is, he wants the seal of the Daimyo Mansion Yin, and he wants to take charge of the power of life and death in the north. At this moment, Liang Zhongshu hesitated, if Zhao Yougong was allowed to get the Yin Seal of the Daimyo Mansion, with Zhao Yougong's means, I am afraid that half of the Hebei officials would be replaced by people from the Qin Palace. Liang Zhongshu didn't think badly at all, Zhao Yougong did decide so, since Tianhu was in trouble in Hebei, why not take this opportunity to erase a group of people and replace them with his own people? But to do this, it is necessary to have the support of Liang Shijie.

Liang Shijie didn't answer for a long time, and Zhao Yougong showed a hint of impatience. Waving your hand to go. At this time, Liang Shijie suddenly panicked. Hurriedly hugged Zhao Yougong's leg and cried, "Your Highness, give it to the lower official, and the lower official will go to get the seal!" ”

Liang Zhongshu is not a fool, he knows what the result will be once he hands over the Great Seal, which means that he has also become a grasshopper on the rope of His Royal Highness Zhao. But in order to survive, I can only apologize to my old father-in-law and the official family first. It didn't take long for Liang Shijie to send the big seal to Zhao Yougong, Zhao Yougong nodded with satisfaction, as for whether Liang Shijie will be two-sided and three-sword, it really doesn't matter, as long as he can take this opportunity to cultivate his own power in Hebei and other places.

Before the unitary, Tang Miao came to the Daimyo's Mansion in person, standing in the house, he said. "Your Highness, this time Tian Hu can occupy Xiongzhou and other places. It should be Ye Lu Chun deliberately, according to the report of the Xijin Mansion's eyeliner, it seems that someone gave Ye Lu Chun a plan, and Ye Lu Chun ordered the soldiers and horses to withdraw to the line of the Baigou River and the Yongding River. ”

Although there is not much news brought by Tang Miao, at least two points can be determined, first, Tian Hu did not take refuge in Ye Luchun, and second, Ye Lu Chun is using Tian Hu as a knife and planning something big.

Thinking and meditating, but unable to grasp the main point, Zhao Yougong spread out the map, lay on the table and thought about it with Tang Miao, and after a while, Zhu Wu also came to the room, and the three of them all had the same expression, that is, they were worried.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Wu seemed to think of something, he clenched his fists and said with a smile, "Your Highness, your subordinates understand!" ”

"Counselor Zhu, let's talk about it quickly" Zhao Yougong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and with an order, Zhu Wu came to the map, pointed to several places on the map and said with a smile, "Your Highness, General Tang, please see, the position that Tian Hu occupies now." Enzhou, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Mozhou and Xiongzhou, these places are connected, directly blocking the road to the south and north of Hebei Prefecture, even the eastern sea route is not passable, recently, Tian Hu occupied Linqing County, the famous capital, and even the last Grand Canal leading to the south was held in his hands. In this way, the fate of Hebei has been in the hands of Tian Hu, and in desperation, the imperial court will gather soldiers and horses from all states in Hebei and Hedong to exterminate Tian Hu. This Tian Hu is a brave man, most of his soldiers are outlaws, after this battle, the land of Hebei will be hidden in a hundred holes, the military strength is scarce, at that time Yeluchun wants to do the most of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjing, who can stop it? ”

After listening to Zhu Wu's words, Zhao Yougong and Tang Miao glanced at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes. If Zhu Wuyan is really in the middle of it, then the entire Hebei Hedong will fall under the iron hooves of the Liao. Huh, who gave Yeluchun such a plan, first raised Tian Hu, and then watched Tian Hu die for the court, and finally when both were defeated, he would reap the benefits of the fisherman. Of course, there is nothing shameful for Ye Luchun to do this, if he is replaced by Zhao Yougong, he will also deal with the Liao people like this. Whether it is for himself or for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, he must not let Yeluchun's treacherous plan succeed.

If you want to ruin Ye Luchun's dream, there is only one way, which is to extinguish Tian Hu at the lowest cost and not give Ye Luchun time to react.

On June 12, Zhao Yougong arrived at Guantao County along the Grand Canal, and after arriving in Guantao County, he found that the county had already fled, Zhao Yougong was not angry, but a little happy, and immediately waved his pen to dismiss Hu Zongqian from the post of Guantao Zhixian on the charge of abandoning the city and ignoring the life and death of the people, and transferred Hong Chengxin, the law priest of the Beijing Normal University Hall, to enter the Guantao to serve as the magistrate. Of course, Zhao Yougong worked hard to get the seal of the Daimyo's Mansion, but not just for a Guantao County, for three days, the officials of Hebei and Hedong Prefecture were dismissed by His Royal Highness Zhao by half, and all the vacated positions were transferred from Guanzhong. With the official documents posted by the Daimyo's Mansion and the seal of the Mansion Yin, this matter is a certainty, and the Zhao Guan's family can only suffer a loss in the future, if you really don't admit it, remove those new officials, and it is estimated that the first person to question it is the people under the rule.

His Royal Highness Zhao sat in Hebei, not busy exterminating Tian Hu, but busy exempting officials from official titles, for a time the officials of the states were in danger, as if the officials of the Daimyo Mansion were the most nervous, everyone was afraid that His Royal Highness Zhao would swing the knife on their heads.

On June 17, after getting the benefits he wanted, Zhao Yougong finally pondered about the matter of beating Tian Hu. This is facing Tian Hu, it is a tough battle, it is reported that Tian Hu let his maternal uncle Wu Li and the general Ma Ling garrison the rich Linqing County, Wu Li does not know how to do it, but this Ma Ling is skilled in bow and horse, the art of war is extraordinary, but it is not easy to get along.

On June 18, Zhao Yougong personally raised an army of 5,000 troops, with Shi Wengong as the vanguard, and went out of Tao County to approach Linqing, a wealthy county in the north. Along the Yongji River all the way to the north, it only took half a day to arrive at the southeast of Linqing Bachalu Town.

The Dingguo army is prestigious, Zhao Yougong is even more famous in the Great Song Dynasty, I heard that Zhao Yougong personally led the troops to attack, Ma Ling, Wu Li and others did not dare to slack off, after some deliberation, then Ma Ling led Lu Hui, Xu Wei, Ye Sheng, Wang Yuan and others to lead 8,000 soldiers and horses in the south of Linqing County to set up a formation, waiting for the Dingguo army to come.

If you want to fight head-on, Zhao Yougong is naturally not afraid, and he just wants to try the combat effectiveness of Tian Hu's soldiers and horses. (To be continued......)
