Chapter 501: Wang De is useless with the king

This time it's not about soldiers, it's about food.

There is no grain available in Xinzhou, and seeing that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers have no food to eat, there may be unstable morale and even mutiny, and Bianliang City may urgently urge Bianliang City to deliver grain and grass to it. Look at the book

As soon as this recital came out, the first person to show dissatisfaction was the third envoy Song Itchy.

Before Su Shi set off, he proposed that no matter how long this battle lasted, he only needed five million guan, plus a household servant Gu Jin.

Song Qi was very satisfied with this request and agreed on the spot. Even if he pushed his deputy out of the blame because of this, he didn't blink his eyes.

This miser is interested in one point, whoever does not ask him for money is a good person, and as for the rest, he will not care so much.

But now, Wang De is urging grain and grass, which is equivalent to cutting meat on him, how can he agree.

You Wang Deyong is willing to replace Su Shi, you courtiers are afraid that Su Shi will make too many meritorious contributions, and he will not be able to suppress them in the future, and Song Yi doesn't care about these things, and he doesn't want to care about them. But you can't let my household take the blame because of your choice.

It is impossible to have grain and grass, you Wang De can recruit on the spot if you have a way, or go to fight Mengqi and Western Xia, and grab grain and grass from them.

But if you want to go back and ask me, it's absolutely no.

Song Qi was very dissatisfied, and the second dissatisfied was Renzong Zhao Zhen.

Why did Su Shi never ask himself if he wanted this or that when he was leading the army on the front line, what he sent back was either a prisoner or a good news. When you Wang De used the palm soldiers, he didn't fight a single battle, and he began to stretch out his hand indiscriminately?

Could this be your Wang De's ability?

Is this the person who you courtiers are pushing together, and you want to replace Su Shi?

Isn't this a litter of rats under a weasel is not as good as a litter?

If that's the result of the substitution, then it's better not to change it.

"This Wang Deyong, did he take the 800-mile expedited as a family letter? As a front-line general, you have to report everything, incompetent, useless." After reading the book, after Zhao Zhen said such a thing, he threw the book aside and asked Zhang Mao to give it to those ministers, so that they could come up with a handling suggestion first.

When Zhang Mao sent the recital, he truthfully told the reaction of the official family, and then looked at these prime ministers and ministers with warning eyes and said, "The official family is already unhappy, you lords should quickly discuss a perfect method, don't look like you are really incompetent."

A eunuch even began to make irresponsible remarks and point fingers at them, which made the prime minister and the prime minister a little unbearable. I can't refute anything, this time Wang Deyong's performance is indeed too bad.

Zhao Zhen was displeased, and Song Qi refused to provide money and food, and the civil officials who recommended Wang De to use the northern border suddenly had a feeling that Zhu Bajie was not human inside and out.

While scolding Wang Deyong for being useless in their hearts, they also tried to communicate with Song Yi and ask for some money and food.

But Song Qi is known as an iron rooster and a miser, how can you be persuaded with a few words, it takes time to make sense of him. But what Wang Deyong on the front line in Xinzhou lacks most now is time.

On the fourth day that Wang Deyong came to Xincheng, the remaining military rations in the city ran out, and the atmosphere in the city began to become tense.

Especially the 30,000 Xinzhou soldiers who had not yet been recognized by him, reacted the most fiercely.

When Su Shi was there, everyone could take some back if they couldn't finish eating, or three meals a day, and they really didn't eat so well during the New Year.

All the people of Xincheng saw hope and thought that good days were finally coming.

For this reason, for Su Shi's idea of expanding the Xinzhou soldiers, they raised a hundred hands in favor.

But only a few days have passed, and this privy envoy Wang De has come, and everyone's life has gone back.

The people don't care how much your Wang Deyong's official position is greater than Su Shi, everyone only knows one thing, whoever can bring them a good life, they will believe and listen to whom.

Now that there is no food in the city, and seeing that they are going to eat surplus food, of course they will not do it one by one, so they all rush to the government office in the city.

Ask for a statement.

When I got up early in the morning, I didn't finish breakfast, and I was surrounded by people outside the house, which really scared Wang Deyong. His first reaction was that an enemy was coming, so he hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to protect him, and at the same time sent people to climb over the wall and mobilize the five thousand cavalry that followed.

Five thousand horsemen were in the city, and they were still living not far from the government. The leading general Zheng Changchang got the news and hurried quickly, and the Xinzhou soldiers and cavalry confronted each other in front of the yamen.

In the end, it was Wang Miao who came with Long Wuwei, so that the two sides did not really fight together. Then Wang Miao was in the middle to adjust, hoping that Wang Deyong could take some food out, at least so that the 30,000 Xinzhou soldiers could not go hungry first.

"My lord, there are now 30,000 Xinzhou soldiers in the city, if their families are added, it will be an unimaginable number, if they are really provoked, then anything may happen."

As soon as he saw Wang Deyong, Wang Miao persuaded him with good words.

The attitude of speaking is not as respectful as before.

Originally, Wang Miao thought that Wang Deyong was a big man, and his ability must be much stronger than Su Shi, so he chose the former among the two.

It's just that now it seems that this Wang De has lived a lot of age with emptiness, not to mention that his ability is not outstanding, and he is not decisive enough to do things.

Since you know that there is not much food and grass in the city, and you still don't look down on the Xinzhou soldiers composed of ordinary people from the bottom of your heart, then you should dismiss them as soon as possible, or at least blast them out of the city.

But no.

With the idea that if something happens, these people can also be cannon fodder, they left people behind.

Well, now I left a bomb by my side, and I couldn't handle it myself, which made the situation so bad.

Wang Miao persuaded him with good words, and after Wang De judged the situation, he knew that it was not possible to resist hard, so he borrowed the donkey to go downhill and agreed to take out part of the military rations brought by the five thousand cavalry to the Xinzhou soldiers, but he also had a request, that is, they were not recognized by the imperial court in the first place, and now they must be disbanded immediately.

I thought it was a group of rabble, but now seeing such a concerted Xinzhou soldier, Wang De was really scared in his heart.

"My lord, if the Xinzhou soldiers leave, then the troops in the city will be too few, once the Mengqi is killed at this time, what will we use to stop it?" When Wang Miao heard that the Xinzhou soldiers were to be disbanded, he was surprised and persuaded repeatedly.

"It's okay, the old man has already asked people to take my warrant to transfer troops nearby, and it won't be long before the nearby troops will come to Xincheng to join us, and the troops are not worried. Also, the old man has already handed over the recital to the imperial court, and it won't be long before a large number of reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive. Hmph, at that time, these Xinzhou soldiers who ate me, I will settle accounts with them."

Wang Deyong is not a master who is willing to suffer. Now the situation is not as good as the people, and he has to bow his head.

If there are enough troops around him to become stronger, he will repay the shame that happened to him today a hundred times over.

After hearing that Wang Deyong had already transferred troops and that the imperial court would also send reinforcements to support, Wang Miao had no opinion, and agreed to the other party's request to squeeze out some food from Long Wuwei to the Xinzhou soldiers, but they needed to be disbanded immediately.

After discussion, Wang Miao walked out of the mansion, found Shi Qianshan, the general of the Xinzhou army appointed by Su Shi, and told Wang Deyong what he meant.

"General Shi, after receiving the military rations, let's leave the city. Lord Wang is a privy envoy of the court, and I don't know how much higher than Su Shi in terms of rank, so I really make you unhappy, I'm afraid you will have a hard time in the future."

When Wang Miao said these words, he was not trying to scare people. In any case, when dealing with the Western Xia cavalry, the Xinzhou soldiers had made a contribution, and he didn't want to watch the scene where the heroes were cleaned up by his own people.

"Okay, even if Lord Wang doesn't want to see our Xinzhou soldiers, let's just go." Shi Qianshan didn't ink either, and directly said that they left the city after giving grain and grass.

Shi Qianshan was so happy, but Wang Miao was a little surprised, he originally wanted to be curious to ask, where would Shi Qianshan go next, but thinking about it, he couldn't control the other party, and it was in vain to ask, so he nodded and agreed and turned to leave.

Wang Miao didn't ask, it was because he didn't have other ideas. But after he was gone,

Xu Ba, the general of the forbidden army, appeared in front of Shi Qianshan, and said straight to the point, "Brother Shi, are you going to find General Zhongwu?"

"What did General Xu say?" Shi Qianshan sighed in his heart, but his face still pretended to be indifferent.

"Hehe, Brother Shi, don't think about it, brother, I came to you to join you to join General Zhongwu." Xu Ba smiled and said directly.

"You want to go to General Chungmu?" At this time, Shi Qianshan was surprised.

"Yes, don't hide it from Brother Shi, originally when General Zhongwu left, I wanted to follow, but the general asked me to stay, and said that I wanted to have more eyes and not become someone's cannon fodder. Looking at it now, General Zhongwu is really a god, this Wang De holds the title of a privy envoy with emptiness, but he is confused when he starts to do things, and there may be dangers if he has no future with such a person. So, even if Brother Shi doesn't leave, I'm ready to go."

Xu Ba really wanted to leave with Su Shi at the beginning, but Su Shi didn't want to carry too much, and he didn't want Wang De to use an empty city, so he blamed himself indiscriminately, so he didn't take them with him.

Thinking that Su Shi had his plan, Xu Ba decided to stay and take a look at the situation, maybe Wang Deyong is also a powerful person?

Now it seems that this person is too hasty, although Xu Ba still doesn't know that the Liao people have sent troops, but he just has a feeling that it is too dangerous to follow Wang De with such a person, and there is no future.

And it happened that the Xinzhou soldiers were making trouble today, and Wang Deyong was angry and wanted to bombard them away, Xu Ba thought that this was the opportunity.

I was worried that I only had 10,000 reserve forbidden troops, and my strength was still a little weak, if I could be with the Xinzhou soldiers, then the strength would be enough, and no matter where I went, it would be a force that could not be ignored, so I took the initiative to find the door.
