Li Shun continued to expand, reaching Jianguan in the north and Wuxia in the south, and more than a dozen state capitals were all occupied by him.

Then rush to the sword gate.

There are only hundreds of tired soldiers in Jianmen, and it happens that Su Han, the supervisor of Chengdu, led his subordinates to flee to Jianmen, and Shangguan is struggling to fight with Jianmen, breaking thousands of Li Shun's troops, only 300 people fled to Chengdu, Li Shun was angry and shocked, and they were all killed at the east gate.

Look at the subtleties.

From this matter, no matter how loud the slogans they shouted, Song Jiu also thought that this person was Li Zicheng and his ilk, once this person succeeded, it would harm the country and the nation!

Let's ask, will Liu Bang, who also made a fortune in the uprising, do such a thing? Would Zhu Yuanzhang do such a thing? Even Liu Xiu, who can be regarded as a rebel army, will do this?

It was the heroic struggle of the two that kept the Jianmen Plank Road.

Otherwise, the court will be in big trouble.

So the officials above the imperial court were assassinating the history of Jianzhou, and the soldiers and horses of the Jianmen were deployed, and Su Han was the assassin of Zhaozhou.

He also asked Wang Jien to go to Sichuan to suppress the rebel army.

Then Pei Zhuang and Lei Youzhong were the transfer envoys of the army on the Gorge Road, Liu Xi and Zhou Wei were the transfer envoys of the army in Xichuan, the brave general Wang Gao of Hebei went to Jianmen, and Yin Yuan advanced by the Gorge Road and waterway.

When the armies were about to leave in March, Zhao Kuangyi must have told Wang Jien: "Before the army arrives, if the thief party dares to engage in Wang Shi, it should be killed." If you are coerced so that you can submit to it, and release it, you will be appeased. ”

Then issued an edict, let Li Jilong know that Dingzhou and the Flying Fox Army, the forts have not been repaired, and Li Jilong must be in charge, Zhang Qixian sentenced Taiyuan, and transferred Song Jiu back.

……

"General Li, remember my words on this trip, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the accumulation of Emperor Wenjing for many years. If there is no rule of Wenjing, there will be no time for the Han Dynasty to raise the prestige of our Han Dynasty. ”

"But what is Tang Taizong?"

Song Jiu smiled slightly. Asked rhetorically: "General Li, let me ask you, don't talk about Li Jing and Li Ji, just say Tang Taizong, how many people in my dynasty can match martial arts?" ”

Li Jilong was silent.

Li Shimin is not only a bright gentleman, but also a first-class famous general.

Don't talk about Li Jilong, even when Zhao Kuangyin was alive, he didn't dare to boast that his military ability was comparable to Li Shimin.

"Does Tang Taizong have any Hu blood?"

"What's the matter?"

"Yes, otherwise how could he be named the Khan of Heaven? At least with this bloodline, the Hu people will not be in conflict with the agrarian civilization and the nomadic civilization. For the Tang royal family, at least how much rejection was generated for the Tang royal family at the beginning. He's a great player, so he can take his chances. Although the Turks have been defeated many times, you think that this time did not seize the opportunity to start the war. Moreover, the early Tang Dynasty produced so many outstanding generals. As soon as Li Jing and others died, Tang Taizong attacked Goryeo. What is the final result, and what is the state of the country? ”

"Finances?"

"It's the financial resources. Why do I repeatedly talk about throttling in the court? No matter how open source. If you don't throttle, all the money will be wasted, and when the time comes to use the money, the treasury will not be able to take out the money. Is it the mediocrity of the king today? Could it be that Lu Mengzheng is incompetent? Could it be that Wei Yu is incompetent in the Third Division? Neither. There have been disasters for several years, and because of the non-stop war. The treasury had little to spare, barely supporting this huge campaign. So the people were weary and weeping. ”

"What a pity."

"It's okay, if you miss it, there will be one later. And there are pros and cons to everything. The swarm of thieves in Bashu is also beneficial......"

"Benefits?" Li Jilong was surprised.

"Think about the side house in Bashu. Without this, it cannot be established without breaking it. Once Bashu is calm, the sun will be able to shine on that beautiful place. ”

Song Jiu said this before Li Jilong left, because he was afraid that Li Jilong would be overjoyed.

It is a good thing to dare to fight.

But at this time, the Song Dynasty was also a little bitter.

Therefore, it is necessary to recuperate quickly.

……

Yiwang Zhao Yuanjie tried to make a rockery and spent a lot of money. The rockery is formed, please watch the subordinates, and everyone sighs at its beauty. Weiyi Wangfu Yishan Yao Tan ignored it, Zhao Yuanjie forced him to look, Yao Tan said: "But when you see the blood mountain, you can get the rockery!" ”

Zhao Yuanjie was shocked, this is not a good word, ask why.

Yao Tan replied: "When Tan was in the farmhouse, he saw the state and county superintendents, and the top and bottom were anxious to strip the people, and Li Xu came to the door, arrested the father and son and brothers, and sent the county to be whipped, and the blood flowed all over his body, and he was sad and miserable. This rockery is rented by the people, what is it if it is not a blood mountain? ”

Zhao Kuangyi happened to be ordering a rockery to be made, and after hearing about it, he said: "Hurting the people like this, why use the mountain!" ”

He ordered the two mountains to be destroyed together.

As soon as Zhao Yuanjie made a mistake, Yao Tan persuaded him, so the palace was not happy. Left and right taught Zhao Yuanjie to say that he was sick, and Zhao Kuangyi sent the imperial doctor to see it, but he couldn't see it well. So the nurse was summoned to the palace to ask about the situation, but the nurse did not dare to hide it and told the truth. Zhao Kuangyi said angrily: "My ancestor is a subordinate of the king, and he wants to assist the king for goodness, but now he can't use the rules, and he falsely claims to be sick, and wants to make me go to the righteous people to make it easier for me, how can I get it." And the king is young, not necessarily so, but he will do it. ”

So he sent someone to arrest the officials of the palace, counted the soldiers, and summoned Yao Tan and said: "Qing lives in the palace, and is envied by the small group, which is not easy. ”

Yao Tan replied calmly: "When the minister heard that Song Gong returned, he thought that he had a side merit. However, from last year to this year, people have been displaced in many places, and chaos has arisen in Bashu. If you don't have this side work, how can you use this money to ease the people? ”

Song Jiu is coming back, and at the same time, he is also bringing back a group of meritorious soldiers, and some may also be transferred to Bashu to quell the rebellion. However, it is necessary to take into account the situation on the front line, where are the soldiers more needed, especially the famous generals who can be obtained.

Therefore, the edict has not been issued, and it is necessary to wait for Song Jiu to come back to decide.

But the capital is very lively, and the lights are colorful.

mainly destroyed Youzhou, which made Zhao Kuangyi breathe a bad breath.

The city grieved him, so much so that whenever the weather was bad, his leg hurt and he was in pain worse than death.

And then there's gratitude.

Although Zhao Kuangyi has a lot of shortcomings, how can a minister not like Song Jiu's step?

Therefore, he was ready to welcome Song Jiu with a grand ceremony.

Yao Tan's admonition pointed out that this matter was not done right.

It's not that he deliberately troubles Song Jiu, he doesn't have that qualification, but he can't be so happy, regardless of the people, he blindly opens the border.

Zhao Kuangyi sighed and said, "I'll tell you the answer tomorrow." ”

The wind has blown and there is no need for secrecy.

The next day, Zhao Kuangyi deliberately appointed the two governments, two systems, three divisions, and other important officials. Including Yao Tan, they shouted to Xifu together and opened the plan.

Then Zhao Kuangyi said with a heavy face: "Song Gong has merit, and I am not jealous, so don't be jealous of Zhuqing's merits." I don't want to chill the hearts of Song Gong, nor do I want to chill the hearts of the heroes of the world. The reason for the merit is that the court plans and then acts. If it weren't for the thieves, the north wouldn't be unpeaceful......"

Zhao Kuangyi couldn't help but shake his head after speaking.

At this point, Zhao Kuangyi, like Li Jilong, still wants to fight. It made the Liao country completely worse. After all, Liao is the biggest border trouble.

However, Song Jiu said it, and Zhao Kuangyi retracted the idea.

Therefore, he said: "Song Gongyan can no longer use soldiers, and I have listened to it, but whenever I think of it, I am also very melancholy in my heart. There aren't many opportunities like that. But I don't want my people to be traumatized......"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Most people agreed.

However, Lu Mengzheng and a few others were also very melancholy, if they were allowed to stand in Song Jiu's perspective. How to choose?

If not for the people. Taking advantage of the momentum and blowing another wind, it is likely that he will build a great feat and go down in history, but give up.

But Song Jiu had no such regrets.

The Shenwu Army and the Flying Fox Army in Gusheng Prefecture were established, and these three important places were either fierce places where the group lived together, or they were mountainous areas that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Coupled with the erection of many tall and sturdy fortress checkpoints, the border has taken an advantageous position from the terrain.

With the implementation of some military reforms, the army will become stronger.

a series of victories, as well as a change in the direction of policy and public opinion. The Song Dynasty would not be as heavy as it was in history, and gradually became conservative.

The northwest is stable, and there is no hidden danger of Western Xia.

Even if he didn't destroy the cities of Youzhou and capture nearly half of the people, Song Liao's strength and weakness had already begun to be exchanged.

After handing over to Zhang Qixian, Song Jiu quickly returned to the capital with his family.

It's almost time to arrive in the capital.

Da Su asked excitedly: "Official, what official position does the court have to give you this time?" ”

"Does it matter?"

The lady pursed her lips and laughed.

Xiao Su said: "It should be the real prime minister." ”

Song Jiu has not served as the real prime minister so far, which has become a major scenery and anecdote of the Song Dynasty.

"Take it when you see it."

"Who dares to be unfavorable to the officials?"

Song Jiu shook his head.

Don't underestimate these people. Like Xiao Kou in history, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, is the credit great? It's definitely bigger than me. However, he was not modest, so he went up and down. But this little Kou hasn't grown up yet.

Kou Zhun's tossing made Song Jiu a little angry.

However, he has not seen Xiao Kou's character, and thinks that he has not grown up, just like Lu Mengzheng, who was the prime minister for the first time, although it is okay, he is somewhat incompetent. However, now that he is the prime minister, he is a famous person.

How is Xiao Kou, he will appreciate it sooner or later.

Xiao Su didn't think about it so much, they were full of happiness, and in the past, the Pan family married all the daughters, and Song Jiu gave them away. Only they admired Song Jiu's talent, and they couldn't do it until they accompanied Yuping to Liao. In this life, I thought that I would never come back, but I didn't think that not only would I come back, but I would also get my wish fulfilled.

This made them very happy, and they hugged Song Jiu's arm tightly from left to right.

Finally returned to the capital.

Although Song Jiu was very low-key, the people of the capital heard that he was back, and they still welcomed him. Hundreds of people rushed over and chanted Song Gong.

Song Jiu was helpless and immediately went to Zhongshu to report on his work.

Zhao Kuangyi led the ministers to meet in front of the Xuande Gate, and they were greeted out of the imperial city.

As soon as they met, they took Song Jiu's hand and said, "Song Gong, I haven't seen you for more than two years, and I am very worried about it. ”

When he talked to Song Jiu before, Song Jiu once joked, saying that Lu Yuqing was a firefighting officer of the Song Dynasty, and where there was danger, he would go. Zhao Kuangyi was happy.

But now Song Jiu is the firefighting officer of the Song Dynasty.

And Song Jiu is low-key and does not boast of his achievements, which makes Zhao Kuangyi even happier.

Song Jiu was stunned and muttered, "Song Gong ......"

Some are head-covered. It doesn't matter if others shout, but you can't shout in front of the ministers, old man.

"Deserve it."

Song Jiu first smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, there is a kind of murder, which is called killing people. Your Majesty should not kill the minister, but let the minister have a beginning and an end. ”

Some ministers were red-eyed, and some ministers were secretly happy after hearing this.

Song Jiu said again: "And the minister came back all the way, and he was guilty in his heart. ”

It was Zhao Kuangyi's turn to be blindfolded.

"Your Majesty, this plan, is Cui Yanjin first proposed, by His Majesty in the center of the strategy, the ministers to assist the planning, to the front line is the bloody battle of the soldiers, the people of the country hard-earned money support, I don't know how many people are displaced because of this, but the minister came back all the way, saw many homeless people, but the minister took the first credit, the minister felt ashamed, and even more uneasy."

"Wang Jien went to Xichuan, and His Majesty issued an edict saying, quit the former army, if the thief party dares to engage in Wang Shi, it should be killed. If you are coerced so that you can submit to it, and release it, you will be appeased. Why, those who do not know are not guilty, and those who do not take the initiative are not guilty. But the gentry of Sichuan are vicious, and the ministers have already heard about it, and they vaguely feel that something big is happening. However, the minister first served as the deputy ruler in Zhongshu, and later became the head of the Western Mansion, and once led the three divisions, but he did not come up with a good plan to deal with it. Even today's great changes, hundreds of people have been affected, and the imperial court has lost a good opportunity to settle the Northern Invaders in one fell swoop, how can it be innocent? ”

After speaking, Song Jiu went down.

"This sin...... I can't blame Qing, please get up quickly. ”

But that's not what Song Jiu said.

Really guilty, huh?

Even if this wind is blowing, although the people are suffering, but in the long run, it has laid a good foundation for the Song Dynasty.

First, it is to avoid merit, no matter how much credit there is, it is just icing on the cake for Song Jiu, and even an evil flower, which is not so necessary. There is also a goal.

Song Jiu said slowly: "In the Bashu Rebellion, the evil gentry who made a mistake were insatiable, forcing the people to rebel. The second mistake was that the court did not do anything. The three mistakes are that the minister knows the harm of it, and he does not come up with a good plan. Therefore, Tang Taizong said that the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat and also capsize the boat. The minister implored His Majesty to send another edict to Wang Jien, except for those who resisted the officers and soldiers in the battle, except for the evildoers, no matter whether they have become thieves or not, the others must not be held accountable, let alone kill people indiscriminately like Wang Quanbin! In this way, either His Majesty will give the minister a penance, and the minister will have a slight reputation in Bashu, and let the minister go to Bashu to quell the rebellion.
