Chapter 51: The Rebel Army Rises Suddenly

In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Wang Boyan and other civilian officials were kidnapped by the peasant rebel army, and several officers from different backgrounds were tense because of their different positions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Fengyun Novel Reading]

Zhao Gou figured out that the person who robbed his subordinate was a peasant rebel army, and he was a little angry. After all, in his mind, Wang Boyan is similar to Qin Hui and Zhang Bangchang, and they are in the same wave as Jin Cai. Even if these capitulationists are captured, they will quickly win the favor of the Jin. Several prime ministers of the Song Dynasty had the experience of being prisoners in the Jin camp, and Zhang Bangchang behaved too well and was directly made emperor by the Jin people. The peasant rebel army was different, according to traditional Chinese thinking, the emperor was innocent, the corrupt officials were hateful, and the focus of hatred of the common people was the civilian officials. If you don't do it, you'll kill people with a vengeance!

Zhao conceived this, one head and two big. Zhang Jun obviously saw it, and asked Zhandao on the side, "Don't worry, the last general dares to make a military order, and within two days, destroy Huangcun and rescue all your adults!" ”

Zhao Gou frowned when he heard Zhang Jun say this, thinking that this is not right, the kidnappers have kidnapped hostages, if they send troops to rob them, wouldn't that force the kidnappers to tear up the tickets? How to rescue them? Don't look at Zhao Gou's always dislike Wang Boyan as a traitor, but Wang Boyan's ability is still okay, and in the past few months, logistics and coordination can be regarded as exhaustive, with both merit and hard work. Now directly forcing him to death, Zhao Gou can't bear it.

So, Zhao Gou waved his hand, "Bo Ying, Wang Shuai, they are all in Huangcun, don't act rashly." After speaking, he greeted Zhang Sanlang again and asked, "Ben Shuai remembers that you said that your brother-in-law is a hunter in this area?" ”

Zhang Sanlang said yes, Zhao Gou nodded, and said, "Well, Sanlang, since your sister and brother-in-law are Orions in Liangshan, there should be a way to connect with the people of Huangcun." You passed the word for Ben Shuai, saying that I knew that it was not easy for Liangshanbo people, and when I saw the official family in the future, I would report to him the suffering of the people. The civil officials of the Marshal's Mansion plundered by the people of Huangcun were all Hebei officials, and they had not harmed the people of Shandong, so they were asked to send them back quickly. ”

Zhang Sanlang nodded again and again, and was about to go, Zhang Jun grabbed Zhang Sanlang, and then said to Zhao Gou, "Dashuai, take a step to speak!" ”

Zhao Gou was helpless, and took Zhang Jun to the middle of several military horses who were busy gnawing grass and eating, Zhang Jun arched his hand, opened with a clear meaning, and said, "Dashuai, we can't negotiate with thieves!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows, meaning please tell me why you can't negotiate.

I only heard Zhang Jundao, "There are three reasons: first, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the thieves in Liangshan have always been arrogant. Now that they have arrested your lords, it will definitely open their mouths, how can they let them go in vain? Moreover, the marshal entrusted the local villagers to negotiate with the thieves to release them, and the negotiation was to show weakness, and when the thieves saw that the marshal showed weakness, their own arrogance was bound to be even more arrogant. Third, when this matter spreads, the people of Shandong will not only not think that the handsome man is benevolent and righteous, but will laugh at the handsome and cowardly, and the people will probably be thieves! ”

Zhang Jun said three points in a row, and Zhao Gou was stunned. Zhao Gou was educated since he was a child, he was a good person in the peasant rebel army, a bitter and bitter brother, loyal and honest; The officials and soldiers are bad guys, lazy and cunning. As for even Yue Feijun's official army, which exterminated the rebel army, it can only be said that it is helpless. Even now, he himself has become an official who can no longer be an official, Zhao Gou still can't help but regard the peasant army in Liangshanbo as his own. He didn't even think about what kind of words like poor mountains and bad water come out of the people. What's more, Yue Fei, Shi Erlang, and Qiu Shi, who were born as farmers, and Zhang Erlang and Zhang Sanlang, who were born in Orion, are indeed heroic and loyal. However, the war cannot be taken for granted, in case, the peasant army is not the hero's own people, it is really a rogue who bullies the weak and fears the hard, isn't he smiling and generous?

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou nodded, he admitted that Zhang Jun's words were extremely reasonable. Now he understands why Yuan Shao is more resourceful and less decisive, there are many things in this world, and it is really the public that says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. So, Zhao Gou asked Zhang Jun, "Then how to rescue Wang Shuai?" ”

Zhang Jun said, "Without coercion by force, it is impossible to rescue Vice Marshal Wang." Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed for a long time, and the longer it drags on, the more the people despise the volunteers, and the more unfavorable it is for the marshal to gain a foothold in Shandong. ”

When Zhao Gou heard Zhang Jun say this, he couldn't help but think of modern public opinion, how he viewed the case of his compatriot being kidnapped. The Chinese were tied up, and the state secretly worked hard for several months to finally rescue them, and everyone agreed that ZF was incompetent and cowardly; The Russians were kidnapped, the special forces entered the theater, a large number of hostages were killed along with the kidnappers, and everyone said that the emperor was mighty and decisive. Yes, the public opinion field only focuses on your performance in the first few days, as for the result? I'm sorry, but you're already starting to care about other things. Coupled with the fact that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and even if the result is better, it can't reverse the initial bad impression. This is still the case in the information age with developed and convenient communications, not to mention the ancient times when information basically relied on storytelling legends.

Maybe it's because of this that Zong Ze kept encouraging Zhao Gou to save Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, right? What he cares about is not whether the second emperor is alive or dead, but that the Great Song Dynasty has the ability to make this action of scrambling under the attention of the people of the world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou seemed to understand the Song people better, and also better understood Zong Ze and other loyal ministers. However, he still didn't want to rob at this time, and he didn't want to rescue the second emperor, because what if he really rescued the two first emperors? didn't want to rob Wang Boyan, because in case he was killed, he Zhao Gou really couldn't bear it.

So, Zhao Gou patted Zhang Jun's arm and said, "Reasonable, Boying, you are reasonable." But, alas," Zhao Gou sighed, pinched his thighs, said affectionately with tears in his eyes, "But, Ben Shuai and Tingjun (Wang Boyan, the word Tingjun) know each other well, and I can't bear to put him in danger!" ”

When Zhang Jun heard Zhao Gou say this, he seemed to have touched his heart, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The handsome man is really the lord of benevolence and righteousness!" ”

Zhao Gou saw that Zhang Jun's expression had softened a lot, and said in his heart that he seemed to have gotten Liu Bei's skill - buying people's hearts, so he sighed and nodded, and continued, "Let's let Shu Yu (Zhang Sanlang, Zhang Chonglang, Zi Shuyu) preside over saving people first." However, your army must not relax, and the commander ordered you to immediately surround Huangcun, from the eighty-year-old man to the three-year-old child, only allowed to enter, not to go out. Before sunset tomorrow, if Huang Village doesn't let people go, you will exterminate Huang Village according to your ideas! ”

When Zhang Jun heard Zhao Gou's order, he arched his hand and said loudly, "Get the order!" As the words fell, he flew on his horse and ran towards the place where Zhang Junjun was stationed.

And here, Zhao Gou instructed Zhang Sanlang to act quickly, and before noon tomorrow, he must set up with the Huangcun Righteous Army to rescue Wang Boyan; He also ordered Zhou Hang to send someone to Dongping Mansion to deliver a letter, and spread the news that the prefect of Dongping Mansion came to the military camp to discuss the suppression of bandits.
