Chapter 376 (Thank you for the reward of the leisure ronin, another: Comrade Battalion Commander Wang, I saw your reward, thank you!) ）

"Your Majesty, my lords, the thieves marched all the way west after breaking through from Ansu, captured Yizhou after crossing Yishui, and burned Yizhou City to the ground.

Song Nan's voice echoed in the main hall, although it was calm, but the ministers in the palace were shocked when they heard the news, although the thieves broke through from Ansu, but everyone did not suspect that they dared to go directly to Yizhou, most of the courtiers thought that the thieves would flee to the southwest of Mancheng and Wanxian, and the first reaction of the imperial court after receiving the news was to immediately tell the Shenwu right guard stationed in Zhending Mansion to prepare to meet the enemy.

However, the thieves did not play their cards according to common sense, and Song Nan's words broke the luck in their hearts.

"What? Yizhou lost? The thieves escaped into the Wuhui Mountain? Zhengde said in a daze, and suddenly slapped the dragon case and shouted: "Xu Guangzuo, didn't you promise in front of me that the thief would not go to the northwest, but to the southwest?" Yizhou is lost, what should you say? ”

Xu Guangzuo blushed and said, "Old minister...... The old minister is ashamed! The thieves are cunning, but if they run to the northwest, aren't they caught in the encirclement of our army? Taihang is cut off, where can they escape? ”

Song Nan sneered: "After the thieves broke through Yizhou, they plundered the materials, armor, grain and grass and fled into the Wuhui Mountain, and the purpose of the thieves was to enter the mountain. ”

Liu Jin said coldly: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, so why panic? The thieves fled into the mountains, and life was not easy, so let's defend the mountain passes and trap them. ”

Song Nan shouted: "You said lightly, don't you know how much manpower and material resources have been spent in this way, and how many more people will die?" In Ansu County, when the four walls are encircled, if you can encircle and annihilate them in one fell swoop, why do you have today's worries? The city of Yizhou was burned, thousands of people in Yizhou were killed and injured, and millions of taels of materials, grain and grass were lost. ”

Liu Jin sneered: "You ask our family, who are we going to ask?" Our family would like to ask you, Lord Song, why did you transfer a thousand soldiers and horses from Baoding Mansion to give the thieves a chance. ”

Song Nan was dumbfounded: "Originally, I only wanted to discuss with the emperor and you today to discuss the strategy of the thief, and I didn't want to talk about who should be responsible, because the thief has not been destroyed, and it is not yet time to discuss the merits and demerits." But since Father-in-law Liu insists on finding someone to be a scapegoat, I can't make it clear today. ”

Liu Jin was silent with his sleeves folded, looking arrogant.

Song Nan arched his hand to Zhengde and said: "Your Majesty, the minister, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, asks the emperor to allow me to take down Gu Dayong and ask for guilt. ”

There seemed to be a thunderbolt flashing out of thin air in the main hall, and the ministers couldn't believe their ears when they opened their mouths. Crazy!

Ai Ai said during the Zhengde period: "Song Nan, which Gu Dayong are you talking about?" ”

Song Nan said: "Naturally, he is the chief eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, and the thief on the West Road is the governor of the valley." ”

Zhengde opened his mouth for a long time and asked in a dumb voice, "Is this ...... You're not kidding, what's his culpability? ”

Song Nan said: "The minister suspects that he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. ”

The ministers blew up the pot and talked about it, Liu Jin pointed at Song Nan's nose and shouted: "Song Nan, what you say must be grounded, Father-in-law Gu is an important minister of my inner court, and he is also responsible for suppressing thieves, so I can't help you to slander you behind your back." ”

Song Nan ignored him, pressed down with his hands and said, "Calm down, listen to me give you an analysis and analysis." ”

Liu Jin shouted: "Your Majesty, don't let Song Nan talk nonsense here. ”

Zhengde's face was solemn, and he frowned: "Let him say; Song Nan, it is naturally okay for you to secretly investigate the wind of Jinyi Wei, but if there is no evidence to support Gu Dayong's crime in court, I will punish you for your crime. ”

Song Nan said: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister understands; Your Majesty, let me ask you a few questions first, when the people rebelled in Wen'an, who built the army to send troops and horses to exterminate it, so as not to get out of control? ”

The ministers were buzzing and discussing, and Yang Tinghe came out and said: "It's you, Lord Song, I remember that you also argued a few words with Lord Liu Shangshu of the Military Department in court." ”

The ministers nodded their heads one after another to indicate that they remembered the events of that day, and Song Nan said: "Let me ask you again, after the chaos, who was the first to arrive in Wen'an County, and who was the first to report the news of the division of the thieves to the imperial court." ”

Yang Tinghe said: "It's also you, Lord Song." ”

Liu Jin frowned and said, "Now is not the time for you Song Nan to show your merits, but for you to give evidence that Gu Da used to collaborate with the enemy." ”

Song Nan sneered: "I just want you to give a fair word, whose responsibility is it to quell the civil unrest and riots?" Is it the duty of my Jinyi Guard Yamen? ”

The ministers hummed and whispered, and Zhang Mao said loudly: "It stands to reason that every yamen has relevant responsibilities, but the military department should be responsible for the main responsibility, and the military department will bear the brunt of the siege and suppression of the thieves. ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Thank you for saying a fair word, can you agree with the British public?" ”

The ministers nodded one after another and said, "That's the case, the British public is right." ”

Song Nan said: "The Ministry of War should be the primary responsibility, I, Song Nan, led the Jinyi Guard cavalry to fight with the thieves, are some dogs meddling with rats?" ”

Zhengde Wen said: "Song Nan, how can you say that, you have a heart for the country, I can see it clearly, and you adults can also see it clearly." ”

Song Nan said: "Thank you for the emperor's understanding, but the minister wants to ask clearly, even if the minister doesn't take someone to Wen'an to deal with the thief, don't you know that Zhe Bao will not get into this commotion?" Will the emperor condemn me for this? ”

Zhengde said: "This ...... How can I blame you? ”

Song Nan said: "That's it, I volunteered to lead the Jinyi Guard to defend Xin'an County, if Xin'an is lost, I'm afraid Liu Gonggong will also say that it is my Jinyi Guard's responsibility, if I don't lead people to go, stay in the capital and watch like all the adults, but Mingzhe is safe and sound, may I ask what is the reason?" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they all thought in their hearts, if Song Nan lost Xin'an City, it is estimated that not only Liu Jin, but also many ministers in the DPRK and China will blame Song Nan, it is logical to do it, and it is really a little unreasonable to think about it.

Zhengde comforted: "Song Nan, don't be angry, you are loyal, I understand it very well in my heart." ”

Song Nan said: "The minister naturally knows that the emperor understands me, but I can't bear it if I do too much wrong and don't do a good ridiculous thing." ”

Zhengde said: "You are extreme, and no one says that it is your fault to lead the troops to defend Xin'an City, and it is all praise to come down." ”

The ministers said: "Yes, Lord Song's move is a move to worry about the country and the people, in fact, we are also more than willing but not enough, Lord Song has people in his hands, the so-called ability is within his reach, he must be responsible, no one will say that Lord Song is troublesome." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "That's what I said, but just now, didn't Gonggong Liu just say that it was my fault that the thieves of Ansu broke through?" Didn't Gu Dayong put the blame on me? ”

Liu Jin said angrily: "Meritorious service, meritorious service, if you hadn't transferred away a thousand troops from Baoding Mansion, how would the thieves dare to use tricks to break through?" ”

Song Nan bared his teeth and sneered, "Did you hear that? Liu Jin thinks that I am going to carry this black cauldron, and I am afraid that there are many people here who think that he is right; If I do not defend the city in Xin'an, and the thieves break through Xin'an and go south, I will not be punished; I went, but now I'm covered in sewage, which is the reason I just talked to you for a long time, and I'm still nosy. ”

Xu Guangzuo frowned and said coldly: "How can Lord Song talk like this, your people are not in Xin'an, the imperial court has its own other scheduling, since you are in Xin'an County, the dispatch of soldiers and horses will naturally count your people, for the sake of the overall situation, how can you care about your personal gains and losses?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "The reason for a good crown, I don't deny what you said is not leaky, I only ask you, how did you schedule?" What is the strategy of encirclement and suppression on the West Road? Is it that tens of thousands of troops have surrounded the small city of Ansu for nearly ten days or have they not moved? Gu Dayong was stationed in Heyang Town with Maoshan Guard, fishing in the river every day, letting tens of thousands of soldiers and horses consume grain and grass, and letting the people of Ansu fall under the enslavement of thieves and soldiers but not attacking This is your dispatch, your strategy to suppress thieves? ”

"You mean, Gu Dayong didn't attack Ansu from beginning to end?" Zhang Mao heard the meaning of Song Nan's words, frowned and asked.

Song Nan said: "For more than ten days, the Bauhinia guards and horses were stationed in Xishui Village, and the Maoshan guards and horses were stationed in Heyang Town, only fifty or sixty miles away from Ansu, and they no longer advanced an inch, nor did they launch an attack. ”

Xu Guangzuo shouted: "The old man has never asked Gu Dayong to do this, the general will not be allowed to use foreign military orders, Gu Dayong is the governor of the West Road to suppress thieves, and the old man has not restricted his military strategy." ”

Song Nan sneered: "You pushed it cleanly, okay, even so, Dingguo Gong has been through a hundred battles, how about you come to evaluate the strategy of using troops in the valley?" ”

Xu Guangzuo was willing to go to Song Nantao, thought for a while, and said: "Gu Dudu may have his own thoughts, but I don't know. ”

Song Nan said sharply: "His own thoughts? Maoshanwei 6,000 troops in the north, Bauhinia Wei 6,000 troops in the west, Xiongxian Bazhou Wei 3,000 soldiers and horses in the east, Baoding Mansion 3,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest, and 1,000 cavalry in my Jinyi Wei in the south. Any other ideas? What a joke. ”

Xu Guangzuo's face was red and his ears were red, but he couldn't attack, because Song Nan's words were irrefutable.

In the silence, Liu Jin said slowly: "I'm afraid it's because of your actions that you ruined Gu Dayong's general attack plan." ”

Song Nan's eyes were like electricity, staring at Liu Jin's face, Liu Jin was a little flustered and said, "What's the matter, is our family wrong?" ”

Song Nan sneered: "Gonggong Liu sits in the capital and strategizes for thousands of miles, could it be that Gu Dada's strategy of holding the army and not moving was taught by you Gonggong Liu?" ”

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "What nonsense, our family is only in charge of the affairs of the inner court, and the thieves and military affairs will interfere?" ”

Song Nan shouted: "Then you shut up." ”

Liu Jin jumped up and said: "You slandered Gu Dayong as collaborating with the enemy, he is a person from my inner court, why can't our family speak?" ”

Song Nan said: "Okay, since you are trying your best to make it up, if I find out that Gu Da's use of thieves is true, you don't want to clear it up." ”

Liu Jin said angrily: "You dare to threaten our family, this is above the court." Emperor, take a look, how crazy Song Nan has become, and who else is in his eyes? ”

Zhengde frowned and said, "Song Nan, speaking of which, I still don't understand why Gu Dayong is suspected of being a thief?" ”
