Chapter 134: The Wilderness (Part II)

"Qiao Dalang, it's hard to say anything about this matter," Song Jiu drank a glass of bitter wine and said helplessly: "After I got Jingnan, some bad things also happened, and for some reasons, I wrote a letter to General Pan Mei in Tanzhou, and the letter said some strategies. His Majesty learned that he asked me to inspect Jinghu Lake last winter. I've talked about some governance strategies. Now that the war in Bashu is raging again and again, and the people are in exile, Lu Xianggong is anxious and writes two letters, let me take a look and see what good strategies are there to make the people of Bashu peaceful. What's my best idea? ”

Dahan couldn't help but be happy.

However, he was thinking in his heart, the court seemed to be really anxious, otherwise he wouldn't even have to reuse a hairy boy. He also drank a bowl of wine and said, "What do you want, let Kang Tingshi replace that General Wang, and Bashu will be settled immediately." ”

That's what most people think.

If Song Jiu hadn't come to the Song Dynasty, he would have thought the same way.

However, Song Jiu stared at the Pu Dao on the big man's waist and asked, "Qiao Dalang, it seems that you are also from the military." ”

"No, I'm an outcast."

"Don't be afraid, since General Kang dares to reorganize the displaced people, let the rebels either go home to cultivate the land, or be incorporated into the army, I will also not pursue the rebels, as long as they do not continue to rebel and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will welcome them with open arms."

Dahan refused to admit it, and drank sullen wine again.

Song Jiu and Gao Qiong glanced at each other, in fact, it was very simple, that is, after Kang Yanze defeated the rebels, he also beheaded the leaders one by one to show the public, it seems that the status of this big man is not low. But Gao Qiong didn't want to do much, and Song Jiu didn't reject it at all. If there is no such cause, then this effect comes. among several chieftains. Except for Lu Han, he is not sympathetic. Even if the spoils are unevenly divided, you can't rebel. Otherwise, how could Bashu be like this? He is a Song general!

But for Quan Shixiong, he was sympathetic, and was forced to rebel by the soldiers, that's it, and wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but his daughter was snatched away by the Song generals, the clansmen were killed, and the property was taken away together, and it was urgent to change himself.

Song Jiu said: "There are too many people who have died in Bashu. More than 20,000 people were slaughtered in Jiacheng, and tens of thousands of people died in the first battle of Jiazhou. In the war alone, at least 80,000 or 90,000 strong men died tragically, not to mention the people slaughtered by homeless bandits. ”

When Dahan heard this, he drank a big bowl of wine with grief and indignation.

"But this result is the most undesirable for His Majesty, I came back from Jinghu, and His Majesty's greatest appreciation is my words, which is my great Songzi. It's my big Song Min, and I should treat everyone equally. But have you ever heard such a saying? The general did not grant the order of the foreign monarch, and Lu Han was a Song general, but he rebelled. Former Shu Taizu Meng Zhixiang was a general of the Later Tang Dynasty. As a result, he rebelled. ”

"It turned out, it turned out to ...... Why did the imperial court send this person to Bashu, don't you have other generals in the Great Song Dynasty who can fight? ”

"Yes. But there are a few people who can have these generals who can fight, and Qin will destroy Bashu. At that time, there were several countries of Shu, Ba and Tho, which were divided. The Qin Dynasty sent Sima Cuo, the most war-savvy military strategist, and it took almost half a year to take Bashu. The Three Kingdoms Shu Han stalemate for decades, and even repeatedly counterattacked under the leadership of Zhuge Liang. Western Shu at the time of the Sixteen Kingdoms, it took five years for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to take it. Only the former Shu and the latter lord were too mediocre, so that the army of Later Tang Zhuangzong took Bashu in less than two months. Why? Are the people of Bashu good at fighting? The land of Bashu is vast? No, it is the terrain of Bashu. General Wang and others took Bashu in 66 days, and His Majesty used it to fight with his fighting ability. This is the reconquest war, and there is no need for generals who can fight, so do you still use civilian officials? ”

Song Jiu is quibbling, the Song Dynasty dominated the world, so that the people of the Central Plains could get more than a hundred years of rare Chengping light, in a certain sense, it is good.

But look at the reality, only one Wu Yue Qianyu is a climate, but he is also a thigh-hugging person, and how many other emperors are decent emperors? One is worse than the other. Why make it so complicated?

Especially the emperor, isn't it just to raise a few waste emperors, and there are still few idlers in the Song Dynasty? Why bother killing them one by one. These people died in vain, and later dealt with the party members, and they also wanted to stay, are they happy? So Western Xia had. From the very beginning of the founding of the country, it was full of a kind of femininity and a kind of small family spirit.

In Jianmen, I saw a newspaper from the imperial court, saying that the great monk Daoyuan had traveled to the Western Regions for more than 20 years, and heard that the Song Dynasty had gradually unified the world. Zhao Kuangyin deliberately summoned this great monk and asked about the mountains and rivers and customs of the Western Regions, which was obviously Sima Zhao's heart.

But without the mind of such a great power, that is, if nothing later happens, how can we run the Western Regions?

Dahan obviously didn't know the inside story of Lu Dao, and he muttered: "Could it be that Bashu should have this catastrophe?" ”

"God knows what the way, whether there is a catastrophe or not, whether you can get through it, it depends on how hard you work. The imperial court issued an edict to summon more than 100,000 surrendered troops to Gyeonggi. Do you think it's good intentions or bad intentions? ”

Dahan was silent.

"Qiao Dalang, if you don't speak, it's evil. In fact, the Central Plains has been war-torn for many years, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and some of the places where the war is severe are mostly widow villages and daughter villages. Summoned them to Gyeonggi, settled in various states, had wives, and cultivated land. One can solve the situation of narrow and many people in Bashu, one can solve the shortcomings of the vast and sparsely populated Central Plains, and one can reduce the possibility of civil strife in Bashu. Someone deducts money from the road. Since they dared to gather a crowd to rebel, why didn't they dare to launch dozens of warriors to escape, flee to the capital, and report to His Majesty? The war was chaotic, the displaced people also rose, and the court did not do well, but did the rebellion of the whole division make Bashu worse? But the sheep were eaten by wolves, so they could only make up for the loss and further reduce the losses. ”

Dahan sneered and said, "Brother Guan, you can recruit first-class people casually." ”

"What's the point?"

"You recruit it, I'll teach you."

Song Jiu casually pointed to a person in the distance, and the big man called him over and asked, "Cen Wazi, how many relatives have been killed in your family over the past year or so?" ”

Cen Wazi's eyes were a little moist and looked at Song Jiu.

"This is a good official, a rare good official in the Great Song Dynasty, you boldly say it to him."

"Inspector, there are many people in the small family who have been killed, and a sister has been snatched away by a soldier of your Song Dynasty, and her whereabouts are unknown. The old mother came out to stop her, but was kicked by another soldier and later died. The pigs were also robbed, and then the homeless people came, and the chickens were also robbed, and the houses were burned. Fortunately, Brother Qiao brought us here, otherwise our family would have no place to bury. Probably scared, nervous, and sad, he stammered, but reluctantly told what happened to his family.

"You go back."

After he left, Dahan took another sip of stuffy wine and said: "Brother Guan, you are a good official, if you talk about strategy, it is simple, kill dozens of people at the head of the leader, hang their heads on the gate of Yizhou, and then send good officials over, just like an official like you or an official like Kang Tingshi, and the problem of displaced people will be solved automatically." Even if it is a rebellion, there is no need to levy, a pardon, and the rebels themselves will be disbanded. Otherwise, this feud will never be resolved. ”

Song Jiu and Gao Qiong both smiled bitterly, Hugh said that if he wanted to kill dozens of senior generals, I am afraid that even Wang Quanbin would not kill him.

Dahan also said: "Now there are still some grain stocks from previous years in all villages, villages, prefectures and counties, and the displaced people can live a half-hungry life, and after this time, I believe that they will return to their homes in order to live without being dissuaded." However, with all due respect, there are many problems, one is the former enmity, and the other is the land that is now annexed and occupied. You said that the court sent good officials down, but I didn't see any good officials. Brother Guan, you are a good person, report all this to your emperor of the Song Dynasty. Don't say too much in Yizhou, otherwise you won't be able to go back if you want to. ”

The people on the other side of the river were eating pork, and they set up camp here, in fact, there were only a few tents, and they brought some dry firewood to light the bonfire, and everyone squeezed together to sleep.

Looking at the other side of the river, Ge Ba said, "This Qiao Dalang must be a leader of the rebels. ”

"Ge Zhuangshi, it doesn't matter if he is the leader or not, he wants to have a stable life now, why bother with the past."

"Jiulang, he hasn't seen the court's repeated victories and the general trend has gone, so he keeps to himself. What you Song Dynasty! ”

"Ge Zhuangshi, Bashu is in chaos like this, not only him, but all the people will not regard our dynasty as their kingdom. But in the eyes of the people of Bashu, tens of thousands of our soldiers should be killed, and in the eyes of our soldiers, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of displaced people should be killed. Even if they have this cruel heart, if they send troops to the Tang State and the Southern Han Dynasty in the future, will they resist to the death? Killing won't solve the problem, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this end. But General Kang is also a way out. ”

But now the problem is that Wang Quanbin doesn't want to rebel at all unless he is in a hurry. Greedy for money, for the sake of this wealth, he dared to provoke hundreds of thousands of troops to mutiny, the Song Dynasty army mutinied, can he dare to abuse the envoy sent by the imperial court?

I don't know how much silk he looted, and it is not a problem to bribe a few lieutenants. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin may not be able to listen to the correct news.

Either Lu Yuqing, he must be a good official, and he is also trapped in Yizhou, and the news from other states is also inaccurate. It's Puzhou, he is from Puzhou, and there are many problems in the same way. Whatever, after arriving in Yizhou, he will give feedback to Lu Yuqing one by one what he heard and saw along the way, so that these big people will be sad. Thinking of this, he said: "Rest early, and strive to arrive in Yizhou City in the morning." ”

Everyone stopped and rested.

But they didn't all rest, and the thirty guards were divided into four shifts and took turns on duty. And patrol far away, otherwise it won't work, and if you're not careful, let a large number of displaced people block it, it won't be good. This has nothing to do with Song Jiu, all the way under the command of Gao Qiong, the thirty guards are in good order.

At night, Song Jiu was having a good dream, dreaming of all kinds of delicacies, and he had a hard time all the way, he didn't sleep well, he ate even worse, and he was homesick. Suddenly, a guard came in and woke him up: "Inspector, a large number of people are approaching with weapons. (To be continued......)
