Chapter 438: Substitute Felling
Since that year, Yang Kui quelled the rebellion of the Nong people, scattered the independent "Great Calendar Kingdom" of Nong Zhigao, and defeated Jiaozhi, and Jiaozhi regained his vassal to the Great Jin.
At present, Liang Jiong led the rebels into the three-regardless zone of Guangyuan Prefecture, and before he could gain a firm foothold, Li Shanzheng, the king of Jiaozhi County, went to the table and asked the Great Jin to agree to send 20,000 troops to crusade against Liang Jiong's rebel army.
Chaozhong didn't pay attention to it at first, but later saw that it was persistent, and Zhao Rui was also a little hesitant.
Jiaozhi asked the court to allocate 20,000 yuan as military expenses, so that it could send 20,000 troops to Guangyuan Prefecture to help fight the rebels, and then reward 30,000 yuan after the thieves were destroyed, and make other food arrangements.
Zhao Rui calculated it together with the political hall and the household department, if the Great Jin Dynasty led the troops to the expedition, regardless of the rest, the food and military supplies required by the three thousand Guangxin army and the thousands of Jingnan Xiang troops on weekdays would cost at least ten times more than the 50,000 yuan, not to mention the countless conscriptions along the way.
Compared with the two, it is still cost-effective to let Jiaozhi counteract the rebellion.
Fan Yaochen also agrees with this point of view.
In his opinion, Quang Nam was originally a deserted place, with little interest and not much tax, and now the treasury is empty, and more places need to use silver, rather than wasting energy and money here, but also making a big move, it is better to hand over to Jiaozhi to help quell the rebellion, one is thrifty, the other is cheap, and the third is that Jiaozhi has been very dishonest in recent years, it is better to call the rebels and Jiaozhi soldiers dog-eat-dog, which can not only reduce the strength of the other party, but also eliminate trouble.
Besides, Jiaozhi was originally well-intentioned, if he refused, he pushed them to Liang Jiong's side, and the two sides united, plus the dozens of cave masters and tens of thousands of young people in Guangyuan Prefecture, turned their heads to fight Yongzhou, then the gains outweighed the losses.
However, Yang Kui disagreed.
Even though he was seriously ill at the time, he still wrote to the Son of Heaven with several important ministers in the Privy Council, detailing the disadvantages of agreeing to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion on his behalf.
After all, Fan Yaochen is different from Yang Kui, and unlike the generals in the Privy Council who are old in military affairs, he does not have much say in the war in Guangnan, and after several disputes, it finally ended in Yang Kui's victory.
At that time, Chen Hao, Gu Yanzhang and others had already led the troops outside, so naturally they could not grasp the movements of the DPRK and China as clearly as they did when they were in the capital.
As a matter of fact, from the capital to Quang Nam, it is necessary to take a hurried step, and it will take nearly a month to walk, and the news and orders of the DPRK and China are coming hotly.
When I was in Guizhou, because of the rush of the trip, everyone only briefly understood some important situations, and did not ask too carefully.
Chen Hao asked, "When will it be on the watch?" โ
Wu Yi replied: "The latest one was sent more than ten days ago, and the earlier one was that as soon as Liang Jiong came, Jiaozhi was on the table." โ
At this time, after all, he was still outside the city, and he was still carrying thousands of soldiers, Chen Hao didn't say anything more, but nodded and followed Wu Yi and the others into the city.
Zhang Dingya took a few steps behind, waited for Gu Yanzhang, walked side by side with him, and asked softly: "The ministers of the court and the central government will not agree to the list of the king of Jiaozhi County?" โ
Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said, "The three armies have been dispatched, even if some people are confused, Yang Pingzhang will fight with reason, not to mention that there are many people in the Privy Council who have their own foresight." โ
Jiaozhi has always been dishonest, and there have been several times in the past two years, but they are all small forces, and they have not been caught, and Yongzhou has to open one eye and close one eye.
Once they are given the opportunity to send 20,000 troops to Deguangyuan Prefecture, it is not difficult to go north at all, who can guarantee that Jiaozhi will not Xiang Zhuang dance the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong?
In addition, it is not the right way to fight the outside and attack the inside.
He explained the various forces in the court one by one, and analyzed why the Son of Heaven would not agree to the "good intentions" of the king of Jiaozhi.
Zhang Dingya suffers from being good at martial arts and is good at leading troops, but he is rarely in the DPRK, so naturally he does not have a very clear understanding of the situation in the DPRK and China.
Besides, with his temperament, although he knows these things very important, he is really not good at them.
You can punish him to run twenty laps in the school field, draw his bow hundreds of times, or even practice his sword from morning to night, he will go with his ass pouting and happy.
Whether you ask him to arrange the army, sort out the affairs of the geography and mountains, or even take out the intentions of the enemy country and the enemy's troops to march and discuss it for a day and a night, he will not get bored, and even be in good spirits, and he will not feel tired at all.
But if you ask him to understand the subtle differences in the positions of the DPRK and the Central Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Yang Party, and the Fan Party in the face of the same matterโnot to mention analysis, just to put a piece of paper in front of him and let him memorize it, it is estimated that he will beg for mercy with a white face on the spot.
At this time, Gu Yanzhang said slowly on the side, and Zhang Dingya listened to it, but he was a little distracted.
It was as if there were two villains fighting in his head.
The villain on the left praised: Yanzhang's brain is so clear! It's amazing!
The villain on the right has an ignorant face: understanding is understanding, I should also understand, but why do I always feel that I don't understand?
The villain on the left is entangled: Should I praise it at this time, praise it a few more words, so that he knows that I am not stupid, as long as he gently pulls it, it will naturally be a little clear.
The villain on the right shook his head: How can I talk more, it's the hardest thing to praise people, if I can't praise the idea, what is the difference between it sounds like those stiff hands and hard sycophants outside? I'm afraid it's not as good as others praising it! But if you want to praise the idea, at least you have to understand it, so you can praise it? In case I praise the opposite, but I don't know that I am so smart as Yanzhang, I will hear it as soon as I hear it, how embarrassing it will be at that time!
The villain on the left scolded: Then you are listening so stupidly??
The villain on the right naturally defended: Yanzhang will not dislike me!
The two villains on the left and right disliked each other in his mind, argued again, and in the end, they didn't come up with a reason.
However, Gu Yanzhang next to him talked for a long time, and did not hear an answer, so he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Dingya.
The two have a deep relationship, he has already understood the other party's temperament, and when he looks at it at this moment, he knows that this one does not understand much.
Looking at Zhang Dingya's pretended deep expression, Gu Yanzhang had been analyzing it seriously for a long time, but now he couldn't help but want to laugh, and only said: "That's it, it's enough for you to know that eighty percent of the court and the middle of the court will not agree to the invitation to cross the chin." โ
Zhang Dingya heard what he said, where did he have time to care about the two words in his head, so he hurriedly slapped them aside, and hurriedly explained: "Yanzhang spoke very well, clear and easy to understand, and I can listen ...... it."
