Song Jiu first arranged the 200 Sichuan cavalry to the military camp and rode quickly to the imperial city. said that it was good to go back and forth for two months, but after going down, it was infinitely delayed, and it took more than three months to come and go. When I left, the sky was full of ice and snow, and when I came, the spring flowers bloomed, and the little girls who loved beauty began to wear thin spring shirts, showing their graceful figures in the warm spring breeze.

The spring is bright, but I don't know how many things have been dragged out at home, and I have to wait for him to deal with it.

Song Jiu quickly went to Zhongshu to hand over the seal first, and the two hundred Sichuan riders didn't know what to say, this had to see Zhao Kuangyin to explain clearly, but the emperor was not so easy to see. On his own, if he wants to see, he is not qualified yet.

The little official looked at the seal and asked in surprise, "You are Song Jiulang." ”

"yes."

"Song Jiulang, amazing."

"Ahh

"You're amazing," the little official looked at Song Jiu with admiration.

"What happened?"

"Jiulang, the matter of your West Chin Shu has been changed to a joke and sung in the capital."

"What's the matter?"

Several small officials and officials gathered around and asked Song Jiu gossipingly, asking him about the night battle of Niu and Shui, and the alliance of the five armies.

"The capital knows the way?"

"Zhilu said, the whole division was killed, the two rivers were victorious, and the armies wrote a song to the capital, and many people praised you."

"Jiulang, you are really good, that fierce general actually let you use a bet to bind you together, I obeyed."

"Able to be literate and martial, no wonder your student became a military officer as soon as he got into Bashu."

"Even Zhao Xianggong praised you, saying that many officials below are not as good as a little Song Jiu, which is disappointing."

The crowd was gossiping. Song Jiu finally heard some eyebrows, and after the mouth of the village was broken. Wang Quanbin quickly led his troops and several other soldiers and horses to attack Jintang. Quan Shixiong began to resist stubbornly, but under Lu Yuqing's arrangement. The prisoners were sent home one after another. Hit this, the Song army was forced, and the whole division was also forced, several soldiers and horses were united, and a general attack was launched, and the whole division was invincible, and many rebels saw that the situation was not good, and they surrendered one after another, and the defeat was like a mountain in the blink of an eye. Under the grief and indignation, the whole division committed suicide. Only a few people fled to Tongshan, but the main force of the whole division was destroyed, and the rest, including Wang Keyi and Lu Jia, were not worried.

And those three covenants immediately bore fruit.

The five-way army attacked the whole division together, and it was necessary to defend against Wang Keyi and Lu Han, and the strength of each state was thin. Du Chengbao of Yuzhou led the rebels and displaced people to besiege Yuzhou City, and the judge Bian Zhen was from Yizhou, and saw that the imperial court had changed its original intention. Treat the people and the displaced people well, and fight to the death. However, he was hit by a stray arrow, and could not be sent to the army. Many of the state soldiers were seriously injured and fled at night. Assassin Chen Shouxi and Tongju surrendered. Only Bian Zhen does not fall. Du Chengbao sent someone to persuade Bian Zhen, we are all the people of Bashu, let's resist the Great Song Dynasty together. Bian Zhen beheaded his envoys. He also secretly sent people to persuade Chen Zhang, the leader of the rebellious party, to bring good and bad fortunes.

At this time, Yizhou began to send prisoners of war home in a steady stream. The stone monument was erected outside the city, and the whole division was defeated again. For the time being, the army can't move. But the general trend is very unfavorable. Chen Zhang agreed to surrender to the Song Dynasty, taking advantage of Du Chengbao's unpreparedness, the ambush attacked, Bian Zhen was injured and Chen Shouxi's soldiers followed up, Du Chengbao was defeated, and the rest of the army quickly leveled.

It can be said that Song Jiu used the gamble of his life to blow up a clear white cloud in the hazy sky of Bashu.

You may not see the credit, but you can feel it.

As one of the protagonists, Song Jiu's two deeds quickly spread in the capital, but they were not very good, and even said that Song Jiu personally went into battle and killed five people, like a god, so frightened that the Song army who had done all the sins in the camp knelt down and begged for mercy one by one.

Song Jiu sighed in his heart, from the perspective of the people, that damn war would end early, but when he went down and listened, Lu Han was looking for death, but Quan Shixiong was a hero.

He arched his hand and said: "Everyone, don't talk about it, it's not like that, that night battle, before I fought, my teeth bumped, and my body trembled." It's better to hand it over for me. ”

The two officials handed over for him, that is, to make a record, and then check the seal, the record was archived, the seal was sealed, and the handover was completed. This speed is very fast, Song Jiugang wanted to see Zhao Kuangyin and say something about the two hundred Sichuan horses, Xiao Huangmen came in and said, "Song Jiu, Your Majesty declares that you are respectful." ”

I couldn't ask for it, and entered the inner palace with the little yellow door.

After seeing Zhao Kuangyin, he told what he saw and heard along the way, including some of the brutal acts of the Song army, as well as the intrigues of various generals. This is a fact, and there is no need to conceal it, and the most reluctant said: "In the opinion of Wei Chen, General Cao may not be as good as General Wang in terms of military ability. ”

In those days, the generals discussed, and he also heard some military knowledge, the preparation process for the war was very long, but the fight was very fast, if the battle was fierce for four or five hours, it would be a vicious battle, and the deaths on both sides would inevitably be heavy. Song Jiu still didn't understand much, until Guankou Village, 15,000 Song troops rushed into the village, and Wang Quanbin commanded while fighting.

The speed of the battle was also fast, but there were more than 10,000 troops, that is, 10,000 or thousands of prisoners of war gathered together, which was still a large area, and Lu Yuqing spoke on it, and it took a long time for the soldiers to spread to the back. More than 10,000 Song troops dispersed, what will happen? However, from beginning to end, Wang Quanbin was well arranged.

Song Jiu also had to admit that Wang Quanbin had outstanding command ability and was not afraid of death, although Cao Bin may be a good general, if the battle of Gaoliang River in his memory was true, aside from other factors, Cao Bin might not be as good as Wang Quanbin when he started fighting.

Although he was dissatisfied with Wang Quanbin, his evaluation was still very fair, and he said: "But later the rebellion started, and General Wang was defeated repeatedly, but the previous battle of Guankouzhai was obtained with the help of General Cao's great victory, and Weichen thought that the reason was very simple." The Eastern Route Army also has some bad behaviors, and it is impossible for so many people to restrain them one by one. However, the second general Cao Liu was strictly restrained, and there were not many evils, and the people of Bashu were not too repulsive, and their fighting spirit was not strong when they fought with General Cao. But when he met General Wang, they all had the hatred of killing their father and taking their wives, and they all became mourning soldiers. Therefore, General Wang was defeated repeatedly. After General Cao's troops were transferred to Jiazhou, General Wang couldn't even take a single Guan Kou Village. ”

"So you've got another big gamble?"

"Your Majesty, Wechen is not a good person, but even Wechen can't stand it. Lu Xianggong mentioned this matter. Crying. ”

"Is Lu Yuqing doing well in Yizhou?"

"It's okay, Yizhou is getting safer. Even if a large number of Northern Route Army were stationed, the people's morale was still not very stable. Your Majesty. Weichen has a sentence that I don't know if I can say. ”

"Say it."

"Lu Xianggong said a word to me, some people say that he is Zhao Xianggong's person, Lu Xianggong said I will be? Weichen thought that he and Zhao Xianggong were both close ministers under His Majesty, so why should they be attached to Zhao Xianggong. Lu Xianggong also said that it is just a matter of facts, and some of Zhao Xianggong's strategies are of great help to the country, so why oppose them for the sake of opposition. He also said that you are the person of the two kings, and I said that I am not, or I am standing in line. Where is my turn to stand in line, a little person. ”

"What sides?"

"It's to join the party, Your Majesty, come and see, with my status, stand in line, will the two kings accept it? Why am I the person of the second king, and Lu Xianggong is Zhao Xianggong's person, who is this slanderous remark? ”

Zhao Kuangyin finally laughed.

Zhao Kuangyi was right, he came out to intercede for Qingshu. Zhao Kuangyin was a little unhappy, Song Jiu was content and happy, and his ambitions were not big, if even such a person had to "stand in line". Then everything is out of his control.

It doesn't matter if Song Jiu doesn't stand in line, the dynamics of the following officials are important. Song Jiu's dynamics also represent the dynamics of most people, and Song Jiu is not important. talked nonsense, but it relieved Zhao Kuangyin's heart disease. He stood up. said: "I'll have dinner with me today." ”

"Your Majesty, does Weichen have this honor?"

Zhao Kuangyin is another piece of music. said: "With your efforts to go west this time, I have this honor." First accompany me to the Imperial Garden. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two gentlemen and ministers walked out, and Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Why do you want to say good things for Lu Yuqing?" ”

His Majesty asked Weichen to go down to look, and Weichen also went down to look, looked at it blankly, and then tried to think about it. Only a few ways can be thought of to make the war end quickly and transfer the Northern Route Army back. The Northern Route Army couldn't stay in Bashu, and the people hated them too much. By the way, Weichen also brought two hundred Sichuan horses, I promised them to let them go back to Puzhou, Your Majesty, you can't leave them in the capital. ”

"Why?"

"Originally, His Majesty was kind to transfer troops to Gyeonggi, but now it can't be transferred, so as not to misunderstand the people. Weichen also wanted His Majesty to see how the Sichuan soldiers were, Emperor Yang of Sui had no way to govern the country, and there were rebellions in various places, he didn't reflect, but thought that the people should be killed, and the more killed, the better. But where can I finish killing, but I lost the world and died tragically in Yangzhou. Governing the people is like governing the people, and blocking is better than sparse. It is the best policy to make it peaceful, and it is definitely not possible to prevent it. ”

"Don't talk about the big truth, you're scared, right?"

Song Jiu's eyebrows furrowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid that it is false, I am really afraid, especially General Wang, who killed hundreds of people in front of me, and I wanted to vomit when I saw that scene, and I had nightmares for many days." This time, General Wang was offended so badly that it wasn't until I ran to Hanzhong that a hanging heart was relieved. ”

"You kid......"

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't do anything wrong, right?"

"It's okay, you can know that you can borrow two hundred rivers from Kang Yanze in Niu Shui, and you did a good job, otherwise you would have been reckless that night. Later, you didn't make a bet with Wang Quanbin until Ding Deyu came to Yizhou and took advantage of the contradictions between everyone, and used that momentum to force Wang Quanbin to bet. If you want to do things in this world, you have to take some risks, and it is impossible to take no risks at all for a big event like this. Although I was reckless, but now that I have succeeded, I will not blame you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Let's talk about Lu Yuqing and Bashu."

"The minister's method is to soothe, make it settle down quickly, and resolve part of the grudge. With the immediate transfer of the Northern Route Army back. ”

"There is another rebellion in Jiazhou."

"Your Majesty, like Wang Quanbin's repeated defeats, forcibly suppressed, the hatred became deeper and deeper, and the people's voices of resistance became louder and louder. To be honest, when I heard about Quan Shixiong's death in Zhongshu just now, Weichen was still a little sympathetic. Although Wei Chen knew that he had to be eradicated. ”

"Sympathy for the traitor?"

"Your Majesty, look at the problem fairly. What does Your Majesty think of Liu Renzhen? ”

"A loyal minister of the world, a good general."

"Quan Shixiong can also be regarded as a good general, if there is no prestige, how can hundreds of thousands of soldiers choose him as the leader? It was forced, he didn't want to, he went to appease, he still surrendered, as a result, Guangxu took his daughter, robbed his wealth, destroyed all his clansmen, put aside the position of the enemy and me, his anti-hateful, his feelings are willing," Speaking of this, Song Jiu suddenly had a whim, and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to give him an official position, and then send someone to write a sacrificial text, and the resentment of the people of Bashu will be reduced by one point." ”

"You want to encourage the people to rebel?" (To be continued......)
