Song Jiu didn't know why, but Lu Yuqing had no grudge against him and would not harm him, so he immediately changed his words and said: "General Wang, I don't know much about military affairs, or, I'll go to Yizhou to go to the military camp to take a look and then give you an answer." ”

"Okay."

All the way north, when I arrived at dusk in Lingquan County, I stopped to camp and rest.

Song Jiu found Lu Yuqing and asked, "Lu Xianggong, why didn't you agree?" ”

"If you agree, you will receive a military order."

Song Jiu shuddered. Lu Yuqing said again: "There is a best way, Bashu was originally rich, and the soldiers are not happy to think about Shu when they come here, but not to think about Song." But now there is rubble everywhere, and some soldiers are homesick. If you have the means, you can also make a offer. But you have to wait, wait for one person to come. ”

"Who."

"Ding Deyu."

"I heard that the imperial court has General Ding as the inspection envoy of the Xichuan capital, and General Kang is the inspection envoy of Dongchuan Zhao'an, what is the intention of His Majesty?"

Now there is no Sichuan saying, either the two Sichuan, Dongchuan and Xichuan, the broad sense of Xichuan includes Hanzhong, Dongchuan includes Kuixia, the narrow sense of the East and West Sichuan is to Yizhou as the dividing line, the west and northwest are Xichuan, the east and southeast are Dongchuan. Officially, it is known as Chuanxia Road. Later, it was divided into Xichuan Road and Xiaxi Road, Xichuan Road is Guangyi Xichuan, and Xiaxi Road is Guangyi Dongchuan. After the most re-drawn, Xichuan is divided into Yizhou Road and Lizhou Road. Xiaxi Road is Zizhou Road and Kuizhou Road, which are collectively known as Sichuan. But that's it, the people of the Song Dynasty still continue to call Bashu in Dongxichuan.

The main rebel area is in the narrow sense of the East and West River.

Ding Deyu was in charge of Xichuan, Kang Yanze was in charge of Dongchuan, and Cao Bin was in charge of the southern Lühan rebel department. So what's the matter with Wang Quanbin?

"Don't think about it, now the two rivers are rebellious. His Majesty didn't dare to deal with it rashly, so he had to wait for the rebellion to subside in various places......" Lu Yuqing said.

"I see." Song Jiu said.

It is mainly used for production, not for overhead. But once it subsides and the three groups are combined, Wang Quanbin will no longer listen to the transfer, do not need to transfer troops from the imperial court, and the three groups of men and horses will be able to make Wang Quanbin disappear.

Therefore, at this time, Wang Quanbin is still the leader.

Of course, the people of Bashu also continue to live in dire straits. It's a small loss and a big one.

"It's too complicated. It's too complicated. ”

"It's not complicated, if you govern a big country, you need to be cautious about it. Otherwise, like the Later Tang Zhuangzong, it was originally a benefit to Shu, but it became a harm, so it was better not to have it. ”

Song Jiu was speechless.

"However, because of your strategy, although General Pan Ding Yin and Wang Zhizhou are bitter, their political achievements are impressive, and I heard that General Ding left. The people sent each other off. This time, General Ding will have a good impression of you. Second General Kang Cao and General Wang had a slight discord, and as soon as you came, you killed more than 30 of General Wang's subordinates, this kind of relationship. They will not be evil to you. It's just that General Cao's troops had to be stationed in Meizhou and Jiazhou to let Lu Han contain him. That Wang Keyi was originally from Sichuan, and I look at his talent. Let him be a dental school, but he does not want to serve the court. On the contrary, they hijacked the displaced people to make rebellion, and operated in Suizhou and Hezhou. He also pinned down General Kang's forces. If you want peace, you better wait for General Ding to come. ”

"Thank you for Lu Xianggong's advice, but I still don't understand, why don't you see me sending troops to the court?"

"Wang Ke's activities are in the mountains, and General Kang must first integrate Puzhou before he can send troops. The affairs on the Yazhou side are very complicated, before the fall of Hou Shu, the southern army of Jing guarded Qionglai and Baizhang, and transferred Cao Guangshi to Yongping to capture thieves and travel envoys, and formed a deep enmity with Zhang Zhongle, the local chief, and killed many of Zhang Zhongle's subordinates. When we sent troops, Zhang Zhongle took the opportunity to mobilize many Tibetan and Qiang people to attack Caofu, Cao Guangshi's troops were empty, and he couldn't defend it, so he escaped with his mother behind his back. More than 300 of his relatives were all killed by Zhang Zhongle, and even his father's grave was also opened. Cao Guangshi had no choice but to defect to General Wang, because he had been in Yazhou for a long time and was very familiar with the terrain of its mountains and rivers, so he drew a map of the terrain and presented it to General Wang, who promoted him to be the commander of the rebel army. But this map is in the hands of General Wang, not in the hands of General Cao. ”

Song Jiu suddenly realized that Cao Guangshi was taken in by the Song army, so Zhang Zhongle must join forces with Lu Han to protect himself.

But since the rebellion of Quan Shixiong, Cao Bin, Cao Han and Liu Guangyi have won many victories, but Wang Quanbin's subordinates have failed repeatedly, and even the general Gao Yanhui and others have let Quan Shixiong kill them, the brave general Wang Jitao, who asked Meng Chang for gold and silver treasures and beauties, guarded Pengzhou, and as a result, the whole army was wiped out from the capital prisoner Li Derong to his subordinates, he himself was very fierce, and he was shot eight times, and he simply escaped to Yizhou on a bloody road.

If Cao Guangshi and the map are handed over to Cao Bin, and Cao Bin makes meritorious contributions, Wang Quanbin will be embarrassed. Wang Quanbin didn't hand it over, and when Cao Guangshi had a home and couldn't return, he was taken in by Wang Quanbin, and he definitely helped Wang Quanbin. Now Cao Bin has no map in his hand, no trusted guide, the terrain of Yazhou is complicated, and Lu Han has joined forces with Qiangbo, and he does not dare to go deep alone, so he has to stalemate.

At this point, Song Jiu understood the entire situation in Bashu, at least in general, but he also smiled bitterly and said: "I won't say anything else, I just want to say one thing, officials from all over the country colluded with the gentry to tamper with all the land deeds, and the consequences are very serious." ”

"I also heard, Song Jiu, have you ever thought about one thing, if there is no gentry joining forces, what will be the situation in Bashu?"

"If you don't suffer from poverty, you will suffer from serious inequality between the rich and the poor, and when a country is founded, because a large number of people died in wars, the land is not tense, and the difference between the rich and the poor is not large, so as long as you are careful, you will usher in great governance. The further back you go, the more difficult it is to treat. A few decades later, if there is a disaster, the officials do not handle it properly, and the people have grudges in their hearts, it will be more harmful than the rebellion of the whole division. When Song Jiu said this, he suddenly thought of Li Shun and Wang Xiaobo, and the slogan he shouted was equal wealth and poverty.

The immediate meaning destroyed many of the shortcomings left by the Song Dynasty from now on, including some greedy annexations by the gentry.

Another significance is that the Song army could not be distracted from the northwest, giving Li Jiqian the opportunity to grow, and finally the Western Xia appeared. Without Western Xia, would the Northern Song Dynasty perish? It's going to be a puzzle. But at least without the containment of the Western Xia, the tens of millions of supplies needed for hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the northwest a year were saved, and the Song Dynasty attached importance to internal governance, so the people of the Northern Song Dynasty would be richer.

"Song Jiu. What do you have to do? ”

"I ...... Lu Xianggong, don't ask. I'm not Zhang Liang, dizzy. Lu Xianggong, if you use me like this again, I want to say to Your Majesty, at least give me a fourth- or fifth-grade official to do. Song Jiu protested.

"If there is a good plan, I guarantee you a five-rank official position, at least a five-rank loose official."

"Yes, even if it's a four-rank official, I can't think of a good way. But what I've seen along the way, and what I've thought. I will report to Your Majesty one by one. Song Jiu decisively refused.

……

Song Jiu and his entourage went to Yizhou, he listened to Lu Yuqing's persuasion and did not agree, but he also longed for the war to end as soon as possible. No, Wang Quanbin, you should go back. Therefore, he went to the barracks to see, and even went to Guankou Village to inspect the terrain of Guankou Village.

Guan Kou Village is in the northwest of Yizhou, which is the Guan County of the later generations, Dujiangyan City. The landscape has changed, but not much. It is located in the north of the total water inlet of the irrigation area of the Dujiangyan Project, which is about the location of Dugongyan City, which was visited by himself in later generations.

No, there's no need to worry about it.

The two armies confronted each other here, and Wang Quanbin's army was in the south. Guarding the security of Yizhou, the whole division is guarding Guankou Village and the mountainous areas in the north. It stretches all the way to Jintang County in the northeast of Yizhou. That is, the entire north gate of Yizhou was blocked by the rebels of the whole division.

Song Jiu was running, and Wang Quanbin was very cautious. sent many people, and even acquiesced to the two hundred Sichuan horses to protect Song Jiu's safety. As his heart. also wants to achieve a big victory, and can't let Cao Bin compare. But Song Jiu also made him extremely distressed, the military reality had nothing to do with Song Jiu's trip, he mainly looked at the homeless people. So I ran around, and on New Year's Day, I slipped to Qingcheng Mountain to see it. There are many beautiful scenery in Sichuan, but Song Jiu was in a bad mood and came down after a walk in Qingcheng Mountain. Then look at the people, how many good things can you expect the people to say about Wang Quanbin?

There is no happy New Year in Sichuan, but the capital is full of festive atmosphere, but at this moment, a very bad thing happened.

Ma Zhizhou competed with the family surnamed Bi.

Tsing Yi's mother is the concubine of the family surnamed Bi, if his family does not sell it, Ma Zhizhou cannot be forcibly extorted from Song Law. But once this head is lowered, there is no way to govern the state. And you can't underestimate the strong Jianghuai people, that is where Zhu Yuanzhang made his fortune in the future, and it is also the base of Xiang Yu's fortune, not to mention the white-clothed army that was a sensation a few years ago.

So Ma Zhizhou used a roundabout strategy, he was Zhizhou, and there were ways to suppress the Bi family with some other gentry.

I won't redeem anyone, but it's easy to deal with you.

If it is a normal situation, the Bi family succumbs, the people do not fight with the officials, and a dignified governor can't deal with all the gentry, but will it still be a problem to deal with a gentry?

This is also the character of a scrivener in the army, Ma Zhizhou is Shi Shouxin's original staff, which is also destined to be tough. However, the results turned out to be unexpected.

The Bi family was very embarrassed under the suppression of Ma Zhizhou. But he still refused to give up, and then sent someone to the capital to make a false accusation. It was said that Lu Qingyi was a spy sent by Han Xizai, and Han Xizai prevented Song Jiu from failing to buy him, so he deliberately left Tsing Yi by Song Jiu's side, learned those knowledge, and then brought it back to the Tang Kingdom. Tsing Yi went to Hezhou, and the people in the family surnamed Bi also saw that he had a secret conversation with people from Tang Guolai.

The Southern Tang Dynasty nominally submitted to Song Jiu, but in fact the two countries were very strictly guarded, and they basically executed all the secret agents after they were caught.

It may be that the people of the Bi family slandered, but it can't be said that it is not, if Tsing Yi learns these skills, and his mother is by his side, without any concern, he takes the opportunity to abscond back to the Southern Tang Dynasty, which will be extremely unfavorable to the Song Dynasty.

The Bi family's lawsuit came into the hands of Liu Wensuo, the imperial historian, and Liu Wensuo did not dare to slack off and handed it over to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a while, Song Jiu brought Tsing Yi back to the Song Dynasty, he knew the truth, including how he met with Han Xizai, and what he said, all of which were written and sent to the capital in Ezhou. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin also thought it was a trivial matter, and did not think deeply. Thinking about this, I faintly felt very uneasy.

Nantang can't despise it either, there are many talents, a large population, and a lot of wealth. It doesn't matter if it's just the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is surrounded by enemies on all sides, including Hunan, and the Southern Han Dynasty has never been willing to rest. If the Southern Tang Dynasty obtained these techniques, it would be able to grow rapidly with its financial resources. Once it is strong, it will not be good if it joins forces with Khitan and other countries. Moreover, the Southern Tang Dynasty also had a history of joining forces with the Khitan. Even Song Qiqiu came up with an idea, the Khitan Yan Gao Ba father and son went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, to Haozhou, the border of the Zhou and Tang Dynasties, and the Southern Tang Yin sent people to assassinate Gao Ba and blame the Later Zhou. Later, the Khitan sent envoys again, and the Zhou general Jing Hanru heard about it, and used the means of Gusu Murong to return the other body with his way, and invited a high master, a swordsman Tian Ying, to sneak into Qingfeng Station. The Khitan envoy was about to change his clothes and prepare to participate in the night banquet of the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, when suddenly he was on the ground, and the people in the post station came out to see that the Khitan envoy had no head. Jing Hanru used some means to blame the Southern Tang Dynasty, and since then the two countries have cut off contacts and fought separately.

But after a few years, God knows if the resentment of the Khitan has continued?

Thinking about it like this, there are many things, and Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to take Tsing Yi into custody and hand it over to Yushitai for torture.

However, this frustrated the other person.

There are many things that Lu Yuqing has not said yet, and he does not dare to say them. In fact, the dispute between the two Zhao has already begun, including the Gao Xi incident. Zhao Pu's counterattack also began, and Song Jiu definitely didn't know what to do at this level.

Yushitai also has Zhao Pu's people, Song Jiu did not see himself as Zhao Kuangyi's person, but others regarded Song Jiu as Zhao Kuangyi's person, and Zhao Kuangyi himself also regarded Song Jiu as his person. If this torture is used, you can create any unjust case you want. So I don't know how much of a matter is involved.

Thinking of this, I was preparing for the Lantern Festival, and I was not in the mood, I was my own person, so I wanted to shelter, I thought about it, and went to the palace in person, and the brothers didn't have to be polite when they spoke, and said directly: "Brother Huang, hand over the Tsing Yi case to me for trial."
