Chapter 359: Turning the Clouds and Rain

Zhao Pu looked at everything that happened in the court fiercely, he was waiting.

Lu Duosun laughed in the big way.

No one paid attention to them, and clashes were taking place on the border, but the Song army had many victories.

Yizhou reported that thousands of Khitan horses, 300 people, 5,000 horses, so Yizhou Dabaozhai was built as the Pingzhai army.

Three hundred miles northwest of the three crossings of Hedong to consolidate the army, the valley is dangerous, the enemy is protected, many of them invade, Pan Mei sent a division to sneak attack, the enemy abandoned the city and fled, and the army made Anqing to surrender with his clan.

The Khitan invaded the Pingzhai army with 7,000 men, and the defenders shot them away and killed a large number of them.

It's all small-scale conflicts, and they don't hurt.

He also ordered Hao Shoujun and other branches to channel the rivers when they arrived at the enemy's territory. In the Qingyuan boundary, the Xu River is opened, and the chicken is fifty miles away from the river and enters the White River. Since the Cao River in the south of the Guannan can be reached, that is, from now on, grain and grass materials can be sent to any front line in Sanguan by boat, saving the cost of using troops.

The breech bought by Li Chengxin, the official of the German Army, was rotten and flogged to his gardeners, causing the gardeners to die of illness for a few days, and his family appealed and executed Li Chengxin by abandoning the city. For the indirect death of a small domestic servant, a Jiedu magistrate can be beheaded, which is rarely done by dynasties in the entire Chinese history.

Another example is the transfer of the two northeast Zhejiang roads, so that Wang Deyi is not close to him, and his subordinates are not governed, and he will be cut by two terms, and the thousand taels of platinum given before will be recovered.

It is precisely because of these punishments that the entire officialdom of the Song Dynasty is running at a high speed, although there are many wars, because of the appropriate policies, and the people do not complain. This is difficult for the later Song Renzong to do.

And no doctor said about it.

Why do you say, what should you do if you stand on your own? It's better not to be a sergeant, then no matter what you do. There will be no serious punishment, even to the point of suffering. Because the doctor cannot insult, he can refuse the order.

That's when it happened. Zhao Pu did it.

Lu Duoxun was proud of the spring breeze at this time, a little careless, and even he saw one thing, when the Northern Song Dynasty invaded Taiyuan City, Zhao Yanmei's subordinates robbed the people, and were stopped by the cannon Cui Han, Zhao Yanmei has been sullen, and later admonished, resulting in Cui Han being severely punished.

So Lu Duoxun got very close to Zhao Yanmei.

This is not a recent refuge with Zhao Yanmei. Instead, he wants to gain more real power, which is similar in nature to Zhao Pu and Li Chongju's two families.

But Zhao Pu thought of one thing, Zhao Dezhao is dead, Zhao Defang is dead, who will be next?

Zhao Yanmei will make some self-protection measures.

However, he didn't see the whole situation clearly, so he didn't do anything.

He didn't do anything, and Ludosun came again.

Li Chongju was sad, Hou Renbao was sad, and Zhao Pu's son Zhao Chengzong was also sad. Under Lu Duoxun's operation, he got Tanzhou to become Zhizhou.

Tanzhou is also good, an important city in Jinghu and the former capital of Hunan. However, Zhao Chengzong and Pan Mei are different in nature, and they are ultimately southern, not very adaptable. So Zhao Pu thought of a way. It happened that the daughter of Zhao Chengzong's ex-wife Li Chongju died, and asked him to marry the daughter of Gao Huaide and the eldest princess of Yan Kingdom.

Probably Hou Renbao sacrificed. made Zhao Kuangyi's heart soften, so he allowed it.

Zhao Chengzong returned to Beijing to get married. Zhao Pu operated, wanting to keep Zhao Chengzong. However, before he could find a relationship, Lu Duosun began to urge Zhao Chengzong to return to office.

If he stayed in Tanzhou, Zhao Pu was very worried that under Lu Duoxun's control, Zhao Chengzong would become the second Hou Renbao.

At this time, Yang Shouyi, Zhao Rong, Chai Yuxi, Xiang Lixun and others, who were heroes of Zhao Kuangyi's domain, reported Zhao Yanmei's arrogance, and there would be a conspiracy. These four people are definitely not Zhao Pu's people.

They just obeyed Zhao Kuangyi's wishes, plus Zhao Yanmei really wanted to protect herself and did some things, so they took the situation and reported Zhao Yanmei.

It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu has been paying attention to the current situation and waiting for an opportunity, as long as he performs a little, Zhao Kuangyi will see it.

It's easy to do it when you see Zhao Pu, and if you want to take down Zhao Yanmei, it's not the two yellow-haired boys of Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, it's more troublesome. and Lu Duoxun's actions also made Zhao Kuangyi feel uneasy, so naturally Zhao Pu entered Zhao Kuangyi's sight.

For the sake of the throne, don't talk about the past!

Zhao Pu for the sake of rights, in order not to be suppressed by Lu Duoxun, don't mention the god of conscience again!

The two hit it off.

Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Pu, and Lu Duosun are all masters of power and strategy, and they will do whatever it takes to suppress the enemy, but compared to the high, Lu Duosun is too bad, even if he strikes, there is no focus, but he loses his morality. The blow is right, if you don't hit Zhao Pu, the hundred-legged zombie worm, God knows if Lu Dao will die, once Zhao Pu comes up, Lu Duosun will inevitably be sad, but what about the means in the middle?

Zhao Pu replied: "The minister is willing to prepare a pivot to detect the treachery. ”

The old minister can pay you a visit, but the answer is very vague, because there are outsiders. Even if this outsider is a eunuch, God knows if they will reveal it to Zhao Yanmei and Lu Duoxun?

However, after retreating, Zhao Pu's face was flushed, and the time had come for him to endure for several years. At this moment, he completely forgot Zhao Kuangyin's kindness and respect for him.

So the construction started, and the alliance of gold and gold appeared!

Then he wrote a secret recital, saying that the minister was the former minister of the founding of the country, and he was frustrated by the power, and then said about the Jinkui Alliance.

What is said now, did it work before? There are rumors throughout the Song Dynasty, can Zhao Kuangyi care? It doesn't work. However, now that Zhao Kuangguang wants to do something to Zhao Yanmei, he needs more righteousness, and a golden alliance is thrown out, what will Zhao Kuangyi think?

Seeing Zhao Pumi's play, Zhao Kuangyi couldn't cry or laugh. There was no way, for the sake of the throne, I had to make concessions and re-mention Zhao Puti as the Pingzhang matter under the Zhongshu Sect, which was located in Zhao Yanmei's class in the early dynasty.

After Zhao Pu came to power, he began a fierce revenge, first beating Sun Quanxing, and then pulling out Lu to behead the public, Liu Cheng didn't even have to come back to the capital to interrogate carefully, and directly corrected the law in Yongzhou.

Therefore, this is a black and white battle without any right or wrong, and the three parties are more ruthless than the other, and each is more shameless than the other.

But the problem is not only that, in order to keep his rights, Zhao Pu began to win over scholars and gave more and more rights to literati.

That is, the Song Dynasty's dethroned Wu Chongwen was completed by Zhao Da and Zhao Pu to complete the first step, Zhao Er to complete the second step, and Zhao Pu to complete the third step. The time of the Song Dynasty's weakness finally came.

But because Zhao Pu is good to readers, the history books actually have an extremely lofty evaluation of him. It is taller than Xiao He, and it is also higher than Fang Du...... The Song Dynasty was almost created by Zhao Pu. So what about Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin? And what about those innovative systems of Chai Rong's revolution? And then what did Zhao Pu do, dethrone Wu Chongwen?

Again, Wang Renzhen was in charge of the state and planned to be a traitor, so he was dismissed as the general of the right guard; Judge Qi and Du Branch, Lei Dexiang in the Bingbu Langzhong, Judge Yantie, Xiyu in the Jinbu Lang, and blame the Cao Yuan Wailang; Wang Shu, the judge of the household department and a member of the household department, was awarded Dr. Taichang.

Maybe Wang Renzhen has done some bad things, but is what Zhao Pu has done even worse?

Without him, Wang Renzhen is Zhao Pu's political enemy. When they were in Bashu, the two formed a grudge. Song Qi turned out to be Zhao Pu's person, Zhao Kuangyi summoned him in the third year of Taiping Xingguo, and reprimanded him, Song Qi expressed repentance and reform, he was Zhao Pu's betrayer! Not to mention Redchon.

A few months later, Wang Renzhen died of displeasure.

When spring arrives, the sky over Tokyo is cloudy.

……

In the Song Dynasty, the spring flowers in Tokyo gradually budded, and the northeast was still covered with snow.

But compared to the harsh winter, the weather is slightly warmer.

More than 16,000 troops were gathering outside the city of Huanglongfu.

Song Jiu's first year in the Northeast was autumn. Time is running out. Therefore, what was done was only to train Wu Xuanming and Yan Po's subordinates and formulate a more standardized system.

In the second year, Song Jiu asked the students to teach the local people to farm, and guided Wu Xuanming to expand. However, the object was only the rear of the Ujak Division, not to the west or southwest. and sent an envoy to the Khitan to ask for surrender. Perhaps the Khitan will be alert. However, the depths of Liaodong are undoubtedly the southwestern fringes of the Song Dynasty for the Khitan, and it is best to be a vassal. It's not strange if you don't call yourself a minister. As long as you don't launch an attack on the area under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, you can toss it inside you.

In addition, there were two battles between Mancheng and Yanmen. The Khitan was planning a larger-scale retaliation, which gave Song Jiu valuable time.

to last year. Under the guidance of Song Jiu, the Wuyan duo no longer expanded, but integrated, and at the same time, in order to prevent the Khitan from suddenly waking up, they sent envoys to sacrifice eagles and horses to congratulate Liao Jingzong on the victory of the Southern Expedition.

Therefore, for those small actions in the Northeast, the Khitan monarchs and ministers couldn't make up their minds, and this won another precious year.

In this year, Song Jiu guided Wu Xuanming to start from Wujak City, to the east and south, and built nine tall cities in a row, not seeking much area, but seeking height, thickness and solidity. With a city, there is a place to trade, to strengthen contact, and with a city there is defense. For the siege of the Khitan is not very good.

It turned out that there was also a city, but it was not a city, but a walled city.

That is, if the front line is defeated and retreats to the rear, it is not easy for the Khitan to eat this force.

This is a long-term plan, not for a hundred years, at least to ensure that this resistance force lasts for twenty Chinese New Year's Eve, then it will greatly drag down the Khitan national strength.

According to Song Jiu's thoughts, he plans to stay up for a year, after all, there are too many internal difficulties.

First of all, farming, Song Jiu brought students, brought farm tools, and the locals also farmed, but these people's interest in learning was never high. Obviously seeing the bumper harvest the year before last, they still lived the original life of half herding, half fishing and half farming.

Secondly, the backward civilization, living habits and slavery system have caused the sparse population and backward transportation here, and it is not easy to get together. Moreover, the vendetta of the various ministries is serious, and it is not very united. In short, it is even more difficult to twist them into a rope than to ascend to the sky.

The last is the ability of Wu Xuanming and Yan Po, whether it is political or military ability, they are very poor. Song Jiu suspected that as soon as he and Gao Qiong let go, the loose alliance would soon fall apart, so he has been working as a teacher for the past two years, constantly teaching them how to be the first and second in command of this country.

There are also advantages, the cold climate, poor life, and a large number of nomadic areas, making the people here very fierce, Gao Qiong once estimated that if the same weapons, equipment, and generals and other factors are equal, if they can be integrated, this Jurchen army can be one as ten.

In addition, there are many specialties in the Northeast, which are better than Song Jiu imagined, and the price is cheap, and a pair of armor can be exchanged for several good horses. Until the year before last, under the guidance of Song Jiu, most of the tribes were able to exchange with the Song Dynasty for a large number of goods they needed, such as iron and cloth, through trade. This kind of trade would hasten their tie-up and reduce the imperial court's subsidies.

Of course, he came to the Northeast very secretively, there are only a few people who know the truth of Lu Dao, even Lu Duoxun does not know Lu Dao, and even after Zhang Qixian left Dengzhou, Zhao Kuangyi took Pan Weizheng as the general judge of Dengzhou, so as to cover for Song Jiu.

However, after last autumn, Song Jiu learned about Hou Renbao and changed his mind.

It was too far away, the news was too backward, and it was clear what happened in the spring, and it was only in the autumn that Song Jiu knew about it.

Therefore, when winter came last year, Song Jiu asked Wu Xuanming's soldiers to divide the road and directly pointed at the various tribes and Tieli tribes in the area of Huanglong Mansion. There are many large tribes in this area, such as the Tieli tribe, the Dalugu tribe, the Tulu Bumur Wei tribe, the Nirvana ancient tribe, etc., and the Wanyan tribe is only a small tribe in it, and it is very scattered.

Although some tribes were strong, Wu Xuanming suddenly attacked, and was supported by the weapons of the Song Dynasty, and there were more troops than them, and soon they were all taken. may still be unconvinced, but on the surface, they are all convinced.

Some of these tribes were very close to the Khitan, and they were getting closer and closer to the actual control of the Khitan, and the Khitan finally felt uneasy, at that time, the heavy snow closed the door, and it was inconvenient to send a large army, and the second was that the Song Dynasty was contained, and the idea was uncertain, so they had to send envoys to question.

Wu Xuanming gave countless reasons according to Song Jiu's instructions, and said that he was about to send 10,000 soldiers under the command of the Khitan to attack the Song Dynasty together.

The Khitans may not believe it, but their second monk is confused, coupled with their contempt for the backwardness of the birth of the girl, so they hesitate again.

But by this time, the picture is over, and the dagger is about to appear. (To be continued......)
