Chapter 139: Factions

Song Jiu was so disgusted that he was about to vomit, where could he speak.

Wang Quanbin shouted again: "Let me roll to Yizhou together." ”

Let a team of guards escort two battalions of forbidden soldiers to Yizhou for reorganization, and then let the guards Pegasus rush back to Yizhou to transfer two battalions of forbidden troops to aid Zizhou. It was brutal and decisive, a group of GIs drooped their heads, packed their bags, and prepared to go. Wang Quanbin said: "Song Jiu, go to the bar." ”

Also eat strange wine!

Song Jiu said: "No, when these people came over, they demolished a wine shop here, and the two people in the wine shop asked me to stop it, I was afraid of provoking a change, so I didn't agree, but I promised to build a wine shop for them when I left." ”

As he spoke, he called the two hundred river riders and rebuilt the small wine shop by the river.

Wang Quanbin didn't say it or not, he didn't like such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, so he walked back to the other side of the river to eat and drink.

Lu Yuqing came over at some point and said, "Song Jiu, your strategy during the scientific expedition was really sensational. ”

"Ahh

"In fact, it's just a strategy offered by Zhao Xianggong, taking away his power a little, controlling his money valley, and collecting his elite soldiers, what's wrong?"

Song Jiu was silent, he plagiarized a passage in the Ming Dynasty's great Confucian Fang Xiaoru's "Theory of Deep Consideration", but as he learned more, he realized that his thoughts were wrong, and now the so-called civil servants are not as good as civil servants, and some are still Zhao Kuangyin's overlord heroes, such as Lu Yuqing, but when he came to the place, he was still constrained by military generals.

This is the real slight seizure of power, and to be honest, the seizure of power is still less. However it will be corrected bit by bit later, and then it will ...... later

Faced with these realities, Song Jiu was speechless to refute.

"But when the official came, he saw that your enemy was present. Eating fish and wine is also a bit of Xie An's majesty. ”

"Lu Xianggong. Joy in suffering, joy in suffering. Don't toss me. Xie An, it will freak the hell out of me. ”

Lu Yuqing shook his head, this kid has big ambitions in his chest, and he is too bad for his talent. So he said realistically, "I've seen your recitals." ”

"Well, how?"

"It's okay, it's just that the language is too vulgar, and it's worse than those martial arts written by them."

"Lu Xianggong, the situation was urgent that night. I still have something on my mind to fix the sentence. ”

"It doesn't hurt, you can make things clear, but there are two good sentences. In the past, the land of abundance, the land of abundance, and today the people are not living well. It is even more difficult to govern, and sooner or later the Bashu rebel and thief will be peaceful, but the grievances are deep, the hatred is as deep as the sea, and there is a slight wind and grass. It will be unveiled in groups. The minister has two strategies, one is to slaughter tens of thousands of people in Bashu, making it a scorched earth, and since then the world has not been ignored. Second, please don't make corrections immediately. Lu Yuqing walked around. He added: "The words are fierce and thought-provoking. ”

He also said: "The second is that in the fifth year of Xiande, Zhou Shizong attacked Chuzhou. Zhang Yanqing, a general of the Tang Dynasty, resisted stubbornly and suffered heavy casualties. Sejong was furious and slaughtered the inhabitants of the city. The six armies plundered, and more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians died in the city, and the houses were burned to the ground. Only under His Majesty, only under His Majesty, I saw a woman with a cut head lying on the side of the road, with a baby in her arms, the baby was ignorant, still sucking her mother's milk. His Majesty took pity on him, immediately stopped killing and poking, looked for a nursing woman to adopt the baby, and placed the women and children in this alley. The people of this lane were saved their lives, and the local people named this lane as Factor Lane to commemorate the merits of His Majesty. The ghost of the white-clothed army in Huainan is still there, the ruins of Chuzhou still exist, and His Majesty has forgotten it? Only His Majesty, only His Majesty. ”

The thing Chai Rong did in Chuzhou was not authentic, and Zhao Kuangyin also killed him at first, but helplessly, this was the emperor's order. Later, I saw a woman whose head had been cut off and was breastfeeding, and the baby cried without knowing that her mother was dead and was still desperately breastfeeding, where she could eat. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked his subordinates to stop killing and poking.

But the tragedy happened again.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuqing cried.

"This, this, Lu Xianggong, crying can't solve the problem, let's think of a way together." Song Jiu made him cry dumbfounded.

Lu Yuqing wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said, "So I'm in a hurry." At that time, after coming to Yizhou, I saw the soldiers doing misdeeds, and I immediately beheaded a colonel and established authority. But Bashu is so big, how can I be governed by myself. It just so happened that General Cao Bin committed very few crimes along the way......"

That is, Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi came all the way and robbed it, which can't be blamed on Cao Bin, it was Zhao Kuangyin who issued an edict to let them rob it openly, and they couldn't explain it to the soldiers if they didn't rob it.

It's a mess......

"I saw that Bashu had been pacified, and instructed Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi to persuade General Wang to return to the capital as soon as possible. After all, half of my military strength was transferred to Bashu, and there are still strong enemies in the north, although the Northern Han is small, it cannot be underestimated, and there is a powerful Khitan behind it. ”

Song Jiu nodded.

At least one reason must be said in everything, and this is Li'er. If Wang Quanbin had mobilized the army back at that time, nothing would have happened. There may be a small-scale riot, but the harm will not be great, and even more than 100,000 Bashu soldiers can be safely moved to the capital.

"General Wang, General Cui, they disagreed, and there was a dispute and conflict with Cao Bin, which caused discord between the two armies."

Song Jiu was silent, it turned out to be this insider. But think about it, these people have made a lot of money all the way, and finally came to Yizhou, so can they leave easily? I haven't caught enough yet, and I was ordered by the emperor to catch it. began to blame Zhao Kuangyin, and later Zhao Kuangyin couldn't be blamed, Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent Lu Yuqing over, but he was in the capital after all, and it was impossible to understand all the situations in Bashu, thousands of miles away, even if he sent an intelligence, it would take a month to come and go at the earliest. Later, he may have reacted, but the whole division of more than 100,000 troops rebelled, and he no longer dared to transfer Wang Quanbin's troops back.

"Then Lu Han rebelled......"

Lu Yuqing didn't dare to say it anymore, Zhonghui was an example of failure, but there were many successful examples in Bashu, such as the Western Shu of the indulgence, the Hou Shu of Meng Zhixiang, the rebellion of Lu Han was whimsical, Yelang was arrogant, if Wang Quanbin and his elite soldiers rebelled, maybe there would be a two-percent chance of success. Even if the Song Dynasty is extinguished, the Song Dynasty will also be greatly damaged, don't forget, there are also Southern Tang, Northern Han and Khitan, maybe when you see the decline of the Song Dynasty, Wu Yue will not surrender. That would set off a series of nasty ripple effects.

"Lu Xianggong, although the situation is serious, what are you asking me to do in Bashu?" Song Jiu said sullenly.

"As soon as you came to Bashu, you prevented this tragedy from happening, and hundreds of lives were saved. That's all. The trip was worth it. ”

"Lu Xianggong, it was this tragedy that prevented it. I believe that almost every day in Bashu there will be similar tragedies. What's the use? ”

"Everything must have evidence, and the tragedies committed by the homeless people and bandits have nothing to do with our dynasty. But this tragedy was committed by our forbidden soldiers, and if there were several similar cases, it would force His Majesty to change his mind. ”

"You are the former clerk of Your Majesty."

"You don't understand, someone impeached me for ...... with Xue Juzheng, Tao Gu, Zhao Feng, Gao Xi and other party attachments to Zhao Puxiang."

"Ahh

"Don't, some people say that you are the person of the second king, are you?"

"Lu Xianggong, don't talk nonsense, I just want to stand in line, and I also have the qualifications to stand in line. With me standing in line, who will accept me? Song Jiu shuddered and said.

"Take sides, good word, so I'll let you come. You are not the person of the two kings, but many people will think that you are the person of the two kings. ”

"I'm not."

"I'm not, I'm just talking about things, Zhao Xianggong is very wise in many ways, don't you care about the country. Who have I become to oppose it for the sake of opposing it! Lu Yuqing said proudly. They are all heroes from the dragon, they are all heroes of the overlord, and they are all former secretaries of Zhao Kuangyin. With this, you will not be worried about glory and wealth for the rest of your life, who do you want to obey? But he said in a softened tone: "But people's words are terrifying." ”

Song Jiu was silent again.

Zhao Kuangyin should not be a cruel master, but from Zhang Qiong's death. It can be seen from Meng Chang's death that he is still very suspicious. That's why there is a series of balancing events, balancing for the sake of balancing. Including many troops in Bashu this time. It's too much balanced.

"Lu Xianggong, you are Zhao Puxianggong's person, I am the person of the second king, you and I say it at the same time, is it more convincing?" Song Jiu finally held back a sentence, his heart was so distressed that he was dying, what he was most afraid of was this faction. In the future, many big names have fallen into this faction, let alone themselves?

"It's not all, you're too young to speak. But you have a lot of expenses in and out of Hezhou, and you give little money, you don't pay attention to it, and you give too much, and your status is low and not worth it. Therefore, I am not afraid that you will be bribed. Although you have contacts with some yamen, you can't be regarded as deep friends, if it weren't for the Pan family, Pan Mei is in Hunan, and it has nothing to do with you. There is no interest in dealing with other people. Though you love money, you have a conscience. Therefore, when you come down to look at the situation you are reviting, Your Majesty will look at it carefully. ”

"I'll be afraid of General Wang."

"I'm afraid of you, but as long as you can react one or two, the court can take a peek at the leopard and get a glimpse of it. In addition, the situation in Bashu is entangled, and I am in it, but I can't figure it out. If you take a look, maybe from the perspective of a bystander, you can see it a little more clearly than I do. Even if the displaced people can be resettled in the future, it is impossible to resettle all of them. As you said, the hatred is as deep as the sea, and the future is endless. ”

"Lu Xianggong is a good official."

"Where is a good official, just take the money under His Majesty, and do something for His Majesty."

"If there is no Lu Xianggong to stabilize Yizhou, Bashu will be even more chaotic, and if it is me, I may not be able to stay for a day, how difficult it is. However, Lu Xianggong, my ability is limited, I can't actually think of any tricks, and I have no way to resolve the people's grudges. ”

"That's enough," Lu Yuqing sighed, Song Jiu is very honest, I am here to deal with errands, but it is just to deal with errands, that is to really see, really do. Think about the officials of the imperial court again, maybe it is this pure heart that can teach students like Wu Dazheng.

A group of people hit the road.

Riding on horseback, Wang Quanbin suddenly said, "Song Jiu." ”

"Yes."

"That student of yours made me embarrassed, and you made me embarrassed again when you came to Bashu."

"General Wang, restrain your subordinates, it's not that I embarrass you, you don't have the guts, it's not that Wu Dazheng makes you embarrassed, he doesn't have the guts. The imperial court took back Bashu, and there was the credit of General Wang. But if they are taken back, they are the people of His Majesty, and some soldiers have done too much, I will say, Wu Dazheng will say. Song Jiu Zhengse.

"Not only do you say it, but you really do it."

"Forgiveness is one, if I don't do it, I will definitely die that night, helpless."

"It's over, and I don't care about it, but there's one thing I want to ask you for."

"What's the matter?"

"Filling the mouth of the village, gunpowder."

Quanshixiong Guankouzhai was defeated, and Lu Han rebelled, so Guankouzhai has not been taken yet, and it is still in the hands of Quanshixiong, Song Jiu was clueless when he heard it, so he asked: "General Wang, please explain clearly." ”

Wang Quanbin's army went west, and he also brought a large amount of gunpowder and balloons, but most of them did not come in handy, and the advance speed was too fast. Don't say that taking Bashu in sixty-six days is to walk unhindered all the way, walk slowly, and you won't be able to finish it in sixty-six days. Therefore, it is useless. What happened later was not what Song Jiu thought, although Wang Quanbin intended to stay in Bashu to make more money, but he didn't want to raise bandits to stay, and there were too many bandits, and no one dared to raise them. But the problem is that the people and bandits are indistinguishable, so do they really raise their butcher knives and cut them at the homeless people in broad daylight? Wang Quanbin didn't have the guts.

It is precisely because of this that the suppression of bandits is very slow. In particular, the terrain of Guankou Village is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are Dujiangyan and six big rivers, and there are countless mountains and mountains around. So Wang Quanbin wanted to use gunpowder. However, there is a problem that Song Jiu said too clearly.

After Song Jiu blew down the city wall, it was to show its power, but it could not make the monarch and ministers have doubts, once this was sealed, it would not be beautiful. Therefore, the military shortcomings of the monarch and the minister were carefully explained. It can blow up the city walls, but it is very difficult.

First of all, there is a strict design for the coffin or wooden box, and the pressure must be kept from rushing to the furnace when the explosives explode. This rush is facing the middle of the city wall, and if it deviates a little, it will not be easy to blow down the city wall. The design of the wooden box is not difficult, how to judge the key is under the tunnel?

The second is the way to deal with the enemy, there are several ways to crack it, a simple way is to dig a trench along the wall. It was against the city wall, but the pressure eventually spread rapidly in all directions, and if there was a trench, the mud was quickly lifted, and the heavy wall was on the top, and the trench was blasted open on the other side. Pressure is also a gas that expands, and it flows more easily than water, so all the pressure will quickly rush into the space of the trench, and the danger to the city wall will be further reduced.

It is even possible to prepare some fences, plug them in time, and so on.

There is an effect, but there is a preparation to break it, including gunpowder packs. Lu Han was a colonel of the Song Dynasty, and he also learned what Song Jiu said that day. Song Jiu's intention was achieved, and finally it began to be used on a large scale. However, Lu Han also knew the truth and informed Quan Shixiong. Now they have dug trenches in the cities they occupy. And because the trebuchet is slow, it is not possible to fire a gunpowder bag, one is not far, that is, it is thrown far, and the speed is very slow when it is about to fall. The enemy calmly poured water on it, and the fuse was extinguished, but it was used by the enemy.

This made Wang Quanbin very depressed.

It just so happened that Song Jiu came, he was an expert, and he wanted to ask Song Jiu to help.

This damn war, whoever is right and who is wrong, let it end sooner. Song Jiu was about to agree, but suddenly Lu Yuqing said: "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and my butt is uncomfortable." ”

Song Jiu looked at him, Lu Yuqing took advantage of everyone's inattention, and shook his head slightly, which means that you can't agree! (To be continued......)
