Chapter 180: Discord
Zhao Ta is so shrewd, Zhao Ren's sudden arrival has already made him realize something, so he is not particularly surprised! Think about it, these guys in the loyal army have long been accustomed to the career of professional soldiers who are raining bullets and licking blood at the tip of a knife, and how can they be willing to be farmers with hoes on their shoulders, and if they are not handled well, they will cause a big disaster, and then I am afraid that no one will be able to stop them.
So although these people transferred Zhao Ta away, but they were still not at ease with the Loyal Warrior Army, and wanted to choose a 'own person' to incorporate the Loyal Warrior Army, Zhao Ren walked into their sight, he mixed in the Beijing Forbidden Army for a few years, and basically cut off contact with Zhao Ta, and the prince seemed to have long forgotten about him, but he was once in charge of the Loyal Warrior Army, and he was the best candidate, so Zhao Ta was transferred at the same time, Zhao Ren was also sent to Hedong...
"Sit down, Zhao Ren, you came here alone to see me, I'm afraid you have something to say!" Since Zhao Ren had already broken the words, he also showed his attitude, Zhao Ta took a sip of water from the cup and said with a smile.
"Lord Wang, your subordinates are still used to standing!" Zhao Ren smiled and said to the prince with a smile and stood aside with his hands down.
"Whatever you want, after two years of being a Beijing official, it's still a problem!" Zhao Ta glanced at him and chuckled.
"Prince, the subordinates have been transferred back to Hedong this time, the meaning of which must have been clear to the prince, and the prince was suddenly removed from office this time, it was the prince and King Jia's joint move that aroused the suspicion of the saint, so now the prince's situation is not good, if the prince goes to the river again, it will only arouse the suspicion of the saint even more, and the truth will be true!" Zhao Ren said.
"Well, you haven't been in the capital for a few years to see what is going on, so you rushed to Linzhou alone to stop me from going to the river. Then where do you say I, the pacification envoy in the river, will go to work! Zhao Tan smiled helplessly and said.
"The subordinates thought that they gave the prince such a false position to test the truth of the prince, once you enter the river. Then they can go further and slander the king, and the prince will die! Zhao Ren said.
"Hmph. Do you think that if I don't go to the river, they will let me go, and they will also play a game to impeach me for being resentful of the Holy One and refusing to perform my duties; And they can take advantage of my disaster relief and make a big fuss! Zhao Ta sneered and said, "This is a trap, you have to drill it, you have to drill it, you have to drill it if you don't drill, in short, they want to find fault with you, there is nothing you can't find, you can't hide it!" ”
"It's not going to be. It's okay not to go, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, they are really poisonous, they want to go to the prince to the Jedi, so what should I do? Zhao Ren thought that he could resolve the crisis by stopping the prince, but he didn't expect that he only knew one and didn't know the other, and people still had a backhand!
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, so you don't need to think about it. Let's see the move! Seeing that Zhao Ren looked anxious about himself, Zhao Ta said indifferently, "Zhao Ren, what do you want to do when you go to the river?" ”
"I don't know the Dao, but I know that the Dao Loyal and Brave Army was created by the prince. It is the home of our brothers, and I will do my best to keep it no matter what it takes. When the prince needs it, give it to the prince completely! Zhao Ren said solemnly.
"Even if you kid still have a little conscience, if you dare to fight the idea of the loyal soldiers. I'll be the first to scrap you! At this time, Jianxi interjected.
"Xiye, you are here. Don't dare to lend me two guts! Zhao Ren hurriedly saluted.
"My mouth has become neat, but I don't know if your heart has changed!" Jianxi looked him up and down and said.
"The kindness and teaching of the prince, Zhao Ren will never dare to forget, but he will not give up when he drives to the soup and fire!" Zhao Ren said with his chest straight.
"Hehe, this is very smooth, is it said in Beijing patting his chest all day long!" Jianxi said with a smile.
"Xiye, I'm sincere..."Zhao Ren said with a blank face, his usual steadiness was gone, and he defended in a panic.
"Alright, stop teasing him!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said to Jianxi, "Zhao Ren, you can take the risk to come to see me, I am very moved, I also know a little about what you have done in Beijing, I can rest assured that you can come to the river to preside over this matter, there are some things that need to be explained to you!" ”
Zhao Ren's arrival made Zhao Ta breathe a sigh of relief, and he could be temporarily relieved by himself. After Zhao Ren left, there has always been a lack of a person who can take the lead in the loyal army, Zhao shame lacks prestige, and Zhao Li lacks experience, which is not enough to make him feel at ease. But Zhao Ren has always been the number two person in the army since the founding of the army, and he can convince the public, to put it bluntly, he can hold down the position in his absence.
Zhao Ren has not only experienced the bloody wind of the Western Expedition, but also led an army to take on the command of a campaign, and now he has been trained in Beijing for several years, and he has gradually matured politically, and can consider the problem from the overall situation and deal with complex situations, and his loyalty Zhao Ta has never doubted that he has withstood the test, and he can rest assured that the loyal army will be handed over to him...
………
Cao Cao led his army to the north to conquer Wuhuan, defeated Wuhuan and returned to the south. In September of that year, Cao Cao stationed troops here and built Pingzhou City. During this period, he climbed the Jieshi Mountain in the south of the city and wrote the magnificent poem "Watching the Sea". After the city of Pingzhou was returned to Jin, it was changed to Nanjing, and the Jurchens set up a government here to manage more than 20 surrounding counties, and there were heavy troops in the garrison, which became an important fortress.
The migration of a large number of refugees from Yanjing Province to the north has brought prosperity to Pingzhou, but the city gates are still not open after the end of the day, and the city is full of fierce and vicious Jurchen soldiers patrolling back and forth, and it is difficult to see pedestrians on the streets, and shops are closed one after another. According to well-informed sources, Han Minyi, the leader of the Yizhou Changsheng Army, who had invested gold a few days ago, was assassinated in front of his house, and he was stabbed to death by more than 10 knives, all of which were stabbed to the vital point, and only one of the more than 10 guards who followed him escaped, and the scene was very bloody.
According to the confession of the escaped guard, the general returned from a banquet that night and walked to the front of the house, and when he dismounted and knocked on the door, he was suddenly attacked. Attackers
The Jurchens searched all night but found no trace of the Assassin. But what is even more frightening is that similar assassinations have occurred many times, and the people killed are all Youyan Han people who have invested in gold, and they are all extremely miserable. Legend has it that the old department of Emperor Liao hated them for betraying Liao and throwing money, surrendered without a fight, and bought more than 100 masters of the rivers and lakes with heavy money, all of them were strong in martial arts, able to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and kill people invisibly.
Just when the city gate was closed and the Jin army searched for assassins, suddenly a fire broke out in the mansion of Wei Weiqing Han Fang, and the government hurriedly mobilized soldiers to fight the fire, and when the fire was extinguished, people found that more than 20 members of his family were buried in the fire, but there was no shortage of property in the house. After an investigation, the government believed that it was his family servants who had a grudge with their master over trivial matters, and deliberately set fire to Han Fang in retaliation, and offered a reward of 500 yuan for his arrest.
However, no one in Pingzhou City believed this conclusion, believing that the Jurchens concealed the truth and that Han Fang was actually killed by those assassins. Because Han Fang is the champion of the Renchen Branch in the second year of Liao Tianqing, his ancestor Shi Liao has been known for many generations. After winning the champion, he made up for the right and picked up the relics, transferred to the History Museum for revision, and moved Shaofu Shaoqing and Qianwen Pavilion to be systematized. And Han Fang is kind-hearted, very tolerant of others, and has never had a grudge against others.
And he was also falsely accused by the house slave, but there was no substantiated evidence in the end, and the government returned the house slave to Han Fang, Han Fang treated him as before, and said: "The slave falsely accuses the master of sin, and asks for good ears, how strange it is." At the time, people called him like a charitable elder, and although Han Fang was a nobleman, he was familiar with poetry and books, and he never left his hand, which was praised by the world, and he would not take the initiative to make trouble. Therefore, people are more willing to believe that Han Fang was killed because of his rebellion against Liao...
Now the attack on the Song Dynasty is imminent, and the assassination incidents in the city are continuous, so that the old ministers of the Liao State who have invested in Jin, the Han Gaomen are all in danger, and they have a wait-and-see meaning, and the Jin State has been unable to catch the assassins for a long time, which makes them doubt the ability of the Jurchens, all of which makes the Jin State Nanjing stay behind Yan Han is not extremely angry, and Han Fang's assassination makes him fall into passivity.
Wan Yan Han didn't know that this person was talented, and he took him very seriously. Because although Goryeo and Jin have been on good terms, and they also claim to be vassal vassals, but they have not entered the oath for a long time, and Jin has also sent envoys to make offers many times, but they have returned in vain, someone recommended Han Fang to the imperial court, and a few days ago it has been decided to let him envoy Goryeo on behalf of Jin, but he was destroyed at this juncture.
"When did the privy envoy leave Shangjing?" Wan Yan Han didn't have the feeling of hitting the cotton with his fist, and he couldn't use his strength, and these assassins made him anxious, which made him miss Shi Liai, the privy envoy who went to Shangjing to persuade the emperor to attack the Song Dynasty.
"Yudutong, it is reported that the privy envoy has passed through Zezhou, and there are still two days to go to Yuguan!" Said the army.
"Well, he'll come back quickly, and let me have a few days of peace!" Wan Yan Han pinched his forehead and said, he is a good hand at fighting, and he is also very good at doing things, but at present, the assassinations are continuous, and some people begin to suspect that they are the hands and feet of their Jurchens, and the tricks of playing rabbits and dead dogs, otherwise the dead in this city are all characters with heads and faces, but the assassins did not catch any of them, and those Han people who returned to obedience were panicked and refused to show their heads all day long, and he came forward to explain but no one believed him, and now he only hopes that Shi Liai can come back to appease the people.
"Dutong, now that Pingzhou is unstable, whether to send someone to answer the privy envoy, don't do anything on the road!" Joining the army and suggesting.
"Oh no, we've fallen for it, the target of these assassins is the Privy Envoy, you immediately take someone out of the city to pick it up!" Wake up the dreamer with a word, Wan Yan Han suddenly thought that the assassins used the strategy of attacking the east and west, and causing trouble in the city attracted all his attention here, but they took the opportunity to attack Shi Liai, the big boss.
If he died, it would have a shock to Pingzhou and even the entire Youyun region, and the matter of assassinating the surrendered people would naturally be pushed to their Jurchens, not only their own efforts were wasted, but also the loss of a powerful help, and the matter of going south would be far away...
