Han Gang followed the army from Suide to Yanzhou, and then continued south from Yanzhou, spending nearly ten days all the way to Jingyang County, not far northeast of Xianyang. The marshal mansion of the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division is now temporarily located in Jingyang County.

The south of the mountain is yang, and the north of the mountain is yin. The south of the water is yin, and the north of the water is yang.

Jingyang is naturally in the north of Jingshui, but Xianyang is in the south of Jingshui - Xianyang is named because it is on the north bank of Weishui, the southern foot of Jiuzhi Mountain, and has the yang of mountains and rivers, so it gets the word "Xian" - in order to allow soldiers and horses to pass through Jingshui smoothly and connect with the front line, two pontoon bridges were set up on the basis of the original pontoon bridge on the river. Through the three pontoon bridges, the five thousand cavalry brought by the plantation, Han Gang estimated that it would take about half an hour to pass.

Although the water is muddy, the willow trees by the river are good. Weeping willows are planted on both sides of Jingshui, stretching for hundreds of miles. Now it is spring, the grass on the embankment is full of flowers, the tender green willow branches hang long on the water surface, a gust of wind blows on the river surface, and the willow silk that flies up is like a piece of green satin, which is a rare scenic spot in Kansai.

In previous years, it was already time for the people in the city to go out of the city, but now all you can see is the soldiers who come and go. The chaotic appearance of the war makes people feel a lot of emotion.

Han Gang suddenly felt that there was something wrong, the Jing River irrigated the main grain area in Guanzhong, replacing the Zhengguo Canal, which became the most important channel in Guanzhong, and also took water from the Jing River for irrigation. Both sides of Jingshui are fields, and the green wheat seedlings can not be seen at a glance, which is the most developed area of agriculture in Guanzhong.

But now, when Han Gang looked around, he couldn't see many farmers busy in the fields.

What's going on here?!

"They were all transferred to the south and dug around Xianyang to build a wall."

It was Xuanfu Judge Zhao Yu who came out to greet him, and Han Gang's senior brother You Shixiong also mixed in with the greeting team, and now he is walking side by side with Han Gang. Seeing that Han Gang was puzzled, he spoke out to solve his doubts.

Han Gang was taken aback on the spot, and his face changed dramatically and exclaimed: "Jingyang, Gaoling, and Liyang are all granaries in Guanzhong!" ”

Founded in the Western Han Dynasty and passing through the three counties of Jingyang, the Baiqu now irrigates about four or five thousand hectares of the finest fields, with an average yield of nearly three stones per mu. This may not be a big deal in Jiangnan, but it is a first-class good place in Guanzhong. Four or five thousand hectares, converted into acres, that is, four or five hundred thousand mu, that is to say, the annual grain output of more than one million stones, Han Gang said that it is a granary, that is not an exaggeration.

After a winter, the wheat fields are in need of fertilization and water, and if the fields are not taken care of in time after spring, how many harvests can the three counties of Jingyang in the Baiqu irrigation area have this summer? If there is any accident in the harvest of this 1.45 million stones, there will be a big problem in the entire Guanzhong.

You Shixiong sighed: "Zhao Langzhong is in a hurry to surround the rebels, how can he think so much about other things?" ”

"Han Xianggong, he doesn't care?!" Han Gang was even more surprised, Han Jiang was still the prime minister, "After the famine in Guanzhong, the bullet will be smashed on his head." ”

“…… Yukun, when you see Han Xianggong later, you will know why he doesn't care. ”

Han Gang followed Chong Ge into Jingyang City. Unlike the calm in the desolation outside the city, the city was filled with an air of slaughter. The city was full of banners, and the streets were mostly filled with cavalry patrolling inside and outside. Pedestrians are scarce, shop doors are closed, and a good Jingyang city has become a fortress on the border.

A team of cultivators, accompanied by Zhao Yu, went to the Shuaifu, Han Gang followed, and a general who walked behind and before Han Gang was Wang Wenliang, who was traveling south.

When the offensive and defensive battle of Luowu was raging, this general was ordered to garrison Zhao'an Village in the north of Yanzhou to prevent the party from attacking Yanzhou. Like Chong Ge, he received a notice that the army was heading south, and when Chong Ge and Han Gang arrived in Yanzhou, they joined him and his more than 1,000 troops and went south to Jingyang together. However, neither Chong Ge nor Han Gang wanted to see him, and they didn't say a word along the way.

After informing the name inside outside the line, Han Gang followed Chong Ge, Zhao Yu, and Wang Wenliang into the White Tiger Festival Hall.

Han Gang is a subordinate official of the Xuanfu Division, although he has a humble position, but his position is here, and he still has the qualifications to enter the White Tiger Festival Hall. Unlike You Shixiong, he is not qualified enough until now, so he can only wait at the door - but he is also fast, and he has defeated the rebels and kept the credit of Pizhou.

Han Jiang is old, this is Han Gang's first impression after seeing this minister who is still the prime minister of the dynasty.

The beard is gray, and the sudden extra wrinkles on the face look like a field that has just been plowed on. His back was also bent, and it seemed that this defeat hit him hard. The victory on the battlefield could not cover up his mistakes, and Luo Wucheng's gains and losses made him a laughing stock in the mouths of the world.

Zhao Zhan is in good spirits, although the stupid things he did have caused Qin Feng and Jingyuan to send two ways to quell the rebellion The elite of the army lost most of it, but he had already surrounded the rebels in Xianyang City, and the Son of Heaven and the princes of the court had to recognize his credit.

Although Han Jiang is still standing on the top and Zhao Zhan is standing at the bottom, there is obviously a sharp contrast between the spirits of the two, no wonder You Shixiong said that when he saw Han Jiang, he knew that he couldn't suppress Zhao Zhan's blind movement because of what he said.

Chong Ge, Wang Wenliang and Han Gang saluted, and Han Jiang soothed Chong Ge with kind words, but Chong Ge's face and response were cold, and it seemed that the harmonious relationship between the two had broken down because of the forced withdrawal of Luo Wu.

Han Jiang didn't seem to have any intention of bridging the relationship with the plant, so he waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to stand in the class. But Zhao Zhan shouted loudly at this time, "Wang Wenliang! Are you guilty!? ”

Zhao Zhan's shouts shook inside and outside, and Han Gang stood at the end of the line, and then looked back at the excitement. But Wang Wenliang seemed to be confident, knelt down and replied: "The end will not know!" ”

"I don't know?!" Zhao Zhan sneered, "Wu Kui kept saying that you forced him to rebel, don't you know?!" ”

"Lang Zhong Mingjian!" Wang Wenliang put on a very aggrieved posture, "Wu Kui has long been disobedient, so he is not in agreement with the loyal general." Now he is in a hurry to kill the last general, not because the last general once pierced his mind. ”

"The head manager, Bai Xuan, and Cheng Prison, which one hasn't drunk with Wu Kui?!" Wang Wenliang knelt on the ground and asked, his fingers crossed the generals in the hall one by one, and then pointed at Han Gang, "There is also Han Guan Gou, the day before yesterday, he followed Wu Kui for a few days, and he was familiar at first sight." Now that Wu Kui is rebelling, they can't see Wu Kui's rebellion, but they come to listen to the traitor's words to deal with the last general, and the last general doesn't know what the reason is?! ”

Wang Wenliang has a good word, and he is not afraid of offending people, because he knows that Han Jiang will definitely protect him.

Hearing Wang Wenliang pull himself in, Han Gang's eyelids jumped, and he scolded in his heart, he still had to accuse him at this time. Then he looked at the generals in the hall very strangely, with the temper of their group of martial artists, why didn't they jump out to refute?

"It's sharp and sharp, no wonder it can confuse Shangguan." Zhao Zhan sneered, completely ignoring Wang Wenliang's self-defense, he turned to Han Jiang and said, "Xianggong, this guy has ruined state affairs and provoked Wu Kui to rebel." Military law should be imposed, so that the rebels have no reason to raise the flag of rebellion again! ”

"No way!" Han Jiang really refused as Wang Wenliang expected, "It's not that the prime minister wants to keep Wang Wenliang's life, but this is a matter of face in the imperial court, and it is not allowed to bow to the traitor." ”

It's not that Han Jiang doesn't want to deal with Wang Wenliang, it's anyone, who has poured a lot of hard work into his own family, and he fell short because of a certain idiot who was raised by himself, even if he couldn't solve the resentment in his heart with a thousand cuts.

Han Jiang also wanted to kill Wang Wenliang, but Wang Wenliang was promoted by him, and the fates of the two sides were linked, if Wang Wenliang could not be saved, then next, he would not only lose face, but also face the attacks of political enemies.

Moreover, if this is really done according to the demands of the rebels, where should the dignity of the imperial court go? No matter how Wang Wenliang is, he is an official of the imperial court, and he killed the official of the imperial court because of the slogan of a traitor. What no one dared to do in Beizhou back then, but now they dare to bring it up?! As long as Han Jiang nodded, Yu Shitai would jump up excitedly, but Zhao Zhan, who put forward his opinion, would not have anything to do - how could he be like Prime Minister Dou Lang!

Han Jiang's concerns, in fact, everyone present can understand it, this is very simple officialdom common sense, so Wang Wenliang has no fear. Han Gang also knew the truth, but he didn't have the heart to keep Wang Wenliang at all, this guy was really annoying. However, to solve the problem, Wang Wenliang obviously has a workaround, as long as he brings a few more soldiers and mixes up with the officialdom, it will not be useful if there is none.

Han Gang looked left and right, starting from the seed, the generals below were all wood-carved and clay-like faces, but they faintly had a look of schadenfreude and watching a good show, and he suddenly understood.

Belch...... I see!

It seems that Han Jiang's popularity here is really bad, and no one has come forward to help him solve the problem in front of him. Of course, there are probably factors that do not want to get involved in the war vortex between the old and new parties.

For Han Jiang, Han Gang has no good feelings. But Han Jiang is an important ally of Wang Anshi, and Han Gang is also a member of the new party - at least he is not liked by the old party - no matter what, he has to take care of a little incense. The most important thing is that Wang Wenliang is really annoying, so it's better to die early.

Han Gang thought about it, and immediately stood up and saluted Han Jiang: "Xianggong, the lower official has something to say!" ”

Han Jiang stared at Han Gang deeply, and he didn't know what Lu Dao, a young man who had made great contributions in Luo Wu and won the hearts of the army, would say: "You say! ”

"Killing an official as a traitor is not only useless, but it will not be done in vain, leaving a laughing stock and people in vain!" Han Gang first denied Zhao Zhan's opinion, and in the surprised eyes of Han Jiang and Wang Wenliang, the conversation changed, "But because of the rumors of traitors, Wang Gezhi has been wronged. Please also ask the prime minister to give an order, and order the headquarters of the Wang Pavilion to attack Xianyang with all his might, one is to be wronged by the snow, and the other is to besiege the city for a long time without attacking, it is already a veteran soldier, and he has to cheer up people's hearts! ”

Han Gang said his suggestion loudly, and the corner of his eye glanced at the face of the general next to him who turned white in an instant, and sneered secretly:

'Wang Wenliang, please die! ’
