Chapter 308: Dumen Undercurrent
Cai Jing snorted, picked up a volume of books that had been spread out and closed it, and said casually: "The military salary and property that should be given to the Jinyang Army this month have not been transferred, how do you reply to Wang Huang?" ”
Liu Huan smiled: "The military expenses raised before have long been used up, and the Yanyun army has been supplied in the past two months, and the reserves of Hebei Zhulu to raise Changping have long been paid out, just waiting to be offset with the three divisions, and now they only expect the three divisions to allocate property and transfer them, as long as the three divisions do not open their mouths, the Jinyang army will not be able to receive the money this month, and a certain answer is working hard to raise it...... Wang Huang's house had to slip away, but it was not a very happy thing. ”
"Without food and money, even if Yang Ling is taken, Wang Hao is not going to face the situation of the Jinyang army, and when the time comes, our opportunity will come again."
Cai Jing smiled faintly, raised his hand and nodded at Liu Huan: "The villain has to say this, it is precisely for you, but it is not a little kind, in the words, you still have to deal with some?" ”
Liu Huan didn't care, and said with a smile: "The public is generous, but the amount is narrow, some time ago, they were proud enough, what can they do if they touch them this time?" ”
After saying that, he immediately let go of his relaxed expression, and asked cautiously: "Prime minister, this time the clouds are victorious, the news of the rise of the official family has come from the ban, although Tong Guan has been demoted, but according to the character of the official family, I am afraid that this person will be recruited back in the middle of the road, and when the time comes, Wang Huang and Tong Guan are still deep-rooted, but how to use them to be effective?" Isn't it necessary to get in touch with Yushi Taizhong, get ready, and then rush up? ”
Cai Jing shook his head: "Where is this enough?" The official family is a person who misses the old, and there is even that Liang Yinxiang in the palace to maintain it...... This action is not enough to shake the situation in Bianliang...... Wait, let's see......"
The old man's tone was gentle, but as the old man beside Zhao Ji, Cai Jing naturally grasped the thoughts of the official family very accurately. On this, there are so many people in the Great Song Dynasty, who can compare with him Cai Jing, it is just a Liang Shicheng hidden appearance.
He came to a categorical conclusion, Liu Huan had no choice but not to speak, but his eyes kept flashing. Finally, I couldn't help but mutter: "How far does that have to go, is it a good time?" Those military ministers are heavy on profits and have a narrow vision, if Wang Hao promised the benefits of the Jinyang army and let this matter settle down gently, but what should he do? ”
Cai Jing just smiled faintly, and leaned down on the soft couch comfortably: "Yang Ling, judging by his style of acting, is not a person who can be manipulated. Yang Ling relies on the military power in his hands, and he may be able to compete with Yang Ling, it is foreseeable that when Yang Ling supports the army, Wang Hao may not be able to successfully win this person, it can be said that there is the capital to fight, and the military ministers are self-preservation. Originally, it was a matter of great taboo by the imperial court to take risks, and I held on to the end. Let the court finally have to borrow them, which is the way to self-improvement, but it is impossible to hand over power, if you give up halfway, you will kill yourself, or people will not dare to offend. Or just go along with it at the beginning, act like this halfway and stop gently, so that the opponent will be vigilant, and the opponent will turn over the old accounts, and it will really be dead and there is no place to bury! ”
Liu Huan listened quietly. can't insert a word, he is a technical bureaucrat, and he is proficient in finance, such a struggle between several factions in the court, coupled with the overall situation of this civil and military dispute, compared to Cai Jing's vision, how far is it?
Cai Jing has no intention of hiding his selfishness in front of this important position and is also a loyal henchman, and continued to analyze it carefully: "So the current situation, we can only wait and see what happens, if Wang Huang wins, we will take advantage of this to suppress, the official family also has a good impression of Yang Ling, so bad treatment of meritorious people, is also a big handle, if Yang Ling wins, the military ministers sit big, how can the literati be able to see it, when the time comes, it will be like Yang Keshi, he will be sent to Beijing, and the military power will be placed aside, This person can only accept his fate. ”
Cai Jing said so many things today, it is already an extremely rare thing, after all, he is old, and when he sees a guest again, his eyes are a little half-open and half-closed when he leans on the soft couch, and he pauses when he sees it.
Liu Huan was about to retire, before leaving, he couldn't help but suddenly think of something, his heart circled, and finally hesitated to ask: "But husband, if Yang Ling really has the courage to fight with Wang Hao, it can be seen that this son is not an easy person to control, I have an idea, should I start earlier and take Yang Ling down, then Wang Hao will also cut off the way to advance, after all, Wuchen can't sit big." ”
Cai Jing's eyes were closed, and he said lightly: "No, even if it is an old man, it can only be to make Yang Ling rich and noble in Bianliang for life, if it is degraded at will, such a big Song Dynasty, how many military horses are left that can fight?" That's all there is to it, right? If they are wiped out, who will defend our generation in the glory and wealth of Bianliang Dumen, and fight for power and profit? To protect them is to protect yourself, and to keep this person behind, you must not let this person chill his heart, and say that he will have no place to rely on this person in the future. ”
"Now the situation is not as good as before, before the extermination of Fang La, that little seed was running in Bianliang, and there was no way to drill, but it was pitiful...... I still asked you to bring a message to the little minister, and if you have nothing to do, you can go to the old man's house to sit down and chat...... As a result, Tong Guan was exiled to Lingnan, and now there are many places to rely on martial artists, and the old man is not in good spirits, so he won't send you, and go slowly! ”
Liu Huan hurriedly said a few polite words, said goodbye and exited the study, naturally a handmaid stepped forward to lead him out of the inner house and handed him over to the people in the outer house, Cai Jing quietly leaned on the soft couch, didn't care when Liu Huan left, the study was quiet, and I heard Cai Jing suddenly mutter: "The two years are like a fall, how to deal with yourself, in order to grow ......old."
Just when the undercurrent of Bianliang was surging, and each faction had its own means, where Taiyuan was, Yang Ling actually led the soldiers and horses to the north directly, and the Northern Expedition strategy of the Great Song Dynasty continued, and the recovery of the sixteen states was not perfect, although Kefu Yanjing had given the people an explanation, but the war was not over.
After receiving Wang Yu's urgent report, Yang Ling caught up with a time difference, even though Wang Huang urged Wang Yu to get tight, but Wang Huang had not experienced the battle formation after all, even if he was sitting in the carriage, under the fatigue of the journey, he could not withstand the rapid march at all, not to mention that Wang Yu tried to delay time along the way, such as ordering the ranger sentry to get some boulders to block the way, which can always delay some time, where can Yang Ling eat and drink on the horse.
