Early morning.

Bursts of fog rose from the military wall.

Outside the canteen, many soldiers were holding bowls, nibbling on steamed buns, stretching their necks to watch the excitement, and gathering together in black.

Han Zhen walked out of the main tent and couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.

When Lao Jiu behind him saw it, he immediately scolded: "What are you doing here?" Want to rebel? ”

Crash!

When the onlookers saw Han Zhen, they immediately dispersed.

As the soldiers dispersed, they saw Wei Da and Nie Dong looking embarrassed, surrounded by more than a dozen prisoners of war, one of whom pointed at the two of them and cursed.

"Wei Da who entered your mother, you dogs have run away, but why don't you take Lao Tzu with you, Lao Tzu will be beaten with twenty military sticks!"

"Now that I am majestic and have become the commander, I pity our brothers, who stayed in the border army and suffered, and now they have become prisoners under the stairs, and they can't even eat a cooking cake!"

“……”

Han Zhen listened for a moment and roughly understood what was going on.

This is the same time I met the robe I used to have, and the relationship is still very close.

This is normal, after all, Wei Da and Nie Dong joined the army when they were young, and they have worked hard in the border army for more than ten years, and they have met not 10,000 but 8,000 robes.

"What happened?"

Han Zhen stepped forward and helped Wei Da and the two of them out of the siege.

"County Magistrate!"

Wei Da and Nie Dong hugged their fists in greeting.

The prisoner of war also closed his mouth and looked at Han Zhen secretly, with a look of apprehension in his eyes.

Glancing at the prisoners of war, Han Zhen asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Da said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "They are the robes of the last general in the Western Army, and I never thought that I would meet them today." ”

Han Zhen asked again: "How is the relationship?" ”

Wei Dazheng said: "It's like a brother!" ”

It is too easy to cultivate friendship in the army, and two soldiers who have never known each other may form a deep friendship because of a war.

"It is not only the robe of the past, but also the same brotherhood, it should be taken care of, don't let the brothers chill their hearts."

Han Zhen said that, and instructed the soldiers who managed the prisoners of war: "In the future, these people will be treated the same as my Qingzhou army. Wait until the war is over, and then send it back to the Western Army. ”

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen prisoners of war looked moved.

Wei Da said gratefully: "The last general thanked the county magistrate on their behalf." ”

Seeing Han Zhen turn around to leave, the prisoners of war led by him glanced at the majestic and domineering gold-painted tiger striped black light armor on Wei Da and Nie Dong, suddenly knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "If Xianggong does not give up, I am willing to follow Xianggong, charge into battle, and never give up!" ”

Seeing this, the other dozen or so prisoners of war couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and after reacting, they also knelt on one knee and shouted: "I am also willing to follow Xianggong!" ”

Hearing this, Han Zhen paused and said with a smile: "Think clearly, I'm a thief!" ”

"Xianggong, although I am just a small capital, I am not a villain who forgets his righteousness, and it is really that the Western Army is not as good as one day by day. We were born and died at the border pass, defending the country, and we were short of food and clothing, but the military merits we earned desperately were also taken away by those generals. Such a soldier, what else is there to do in front of him? ”

The prisoner of war at the head paused and continued: "When I was last year, I and Wei Da and a group of brothers had already discussed and prepared to leave. As a result, this guy took his brothers and ran away first, and I was beaten by the board. ”

Wei Da's face couldn't hold back, and he hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't talk about morality, the situation was chaotic at that time, and the Northern Route Army where I was located was chased and killed by the Liao army all the way, and finally separated from the army. The mountains and rivers were exhausted, and there was really no way, so they fled to Qingzhou. ”

After the two finished talking about the old days, Han Zhen asked condescendingly, "What's your surname?" ”

The prisoner of war replied: "Prime minister, my name is Liang Feng!" ”

Han Zhen didn't say anything immediately, and his mind was spinning.

Wei Da only thought that he didn't trust these Western Army, so he hugged his fists and said: "County magistrate, the last general is willing to guarantee them!" ”

Liang Feng listened and threw a grateful look at him.

"Since you are willing to vouch for them, then I will take them under my command!"

Han Zhen smiled slightly, and made a favor to push the boat along the water.

Wei Da said happily: "Thank you county magistrate!" ”

"Thank you!"

Liang Feng and other prisoners of war of the Western Army were overjoyed and thanked one after another.

When they got up, Han Zhen said, "It just so happens that I have an errand here, I don't know if you dare to take it." ”

Liang Feng did not hesitate at all, and immediately hugged his fists and said, "I am willing to take the errand!" ”

A year ago, Wei Da was a small capital in the Western Army, just like himself.

And now, people have become Zuo Dutong, wearing hundreds of black light armors, and commanding more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, if he is not envious in his heart, it is simply impossible.

Therefore, seeing that there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, where is Liang Feng willing to let go.

"Good!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Han Zhen's eyes, and he explained: "After breakfast, you will lead your brothers back to Licheng!" ”

Hijri City?

Liang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood Han Zhen's intentions, which was to make him a secret agent.

Thinking of this, he replied in a loud voice: "Humble and commanded! ”

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Go and eat first, and the brothers from the scout camp will contact you and others later." ”

Make the most of it!

He does not lack the combat strength of these dozen or so Western Army soldiers at all, and instead of staying in the army, it is better to give full play to their use and transmit the movements of the Western Army for themselves.

"Report!"

Just then, a scout galloped on.

Han Zhen asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The scout turned over and dismounted, and reported: "The county magistrate, a small group of western troops stationed sixty miles away, pulled out of the village and returned to the direction of Licheng at the beginning of today's day. ”

Han Zhen sneered: "It's quite fast!" ”

However, his target was not this small western army.

……

"Damn, this is the life of a man!"

Liang Feng took a bite of the cooking cake, and drank the fragrant, steaming meat porridge, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Brother Wei......"

As soon as a Western soldier spoke, he was interrupted by Liang Feng and scolded: "Claim your position in the army, call the capital." ”

Wei Da waved his hand: "It's out of the way." ”

The Western Army was not really ignorant, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Wei Dutong, you also eat this on weekdays?" ”

Wei Da replied: "Almost, there is no meat in the porridge on weekdays, but every three days, I will eat a meal of meat to replenish oil and water." ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Another Western soldier asked, "How many pieces of meat per person?" ”

"Until you're full!"

Wei Da smiled.

Gollum!

Including Liang Feng, everyone swallowed.

They still believed what Wei Da said.

One meal of meat for three days, until you are full, is really rich!

In fact, the Western Army used to be treated well, and they could eat meat from time to time.

It's just that later it was put under the hands of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and it was worse day by day.

After eating the cooking cakes in three or two bites, and drinking the meat porridge in the bowl in one go, Liang Feng rolled up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, leaned over to Wei Da's side, and said in a low voice: "Now our brothers, stirring horses in a pot again, you give your brother a thorough explanation, what kind of person is Xiao Xianggong?" ”

Wei Dazheng said: "In my Qingzhou army, merit must be rewarded, and punishment must be punished." Rest assured and bold to run errands, it should be your credit, no one can snatch it away! ”

Liang Feng laughed: "Haha, with the words of brother, I am sure in my heart!" ”

After breakfast, Wei Da got up and said, "I still have military affairs with me, and when the war is over, our brothers will talk about it again." ”

Liang Feng nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

As soon as Wei Da left on his front foot, Luo Jing came with the soldiers of the scout camp on his back foot.

A moment later, the three scouts changed into the clothes of the Western Army, mixed in Liang Feng's team, and went all the way out of the valley and headed straight for Licheng.

An hour had passed, and the whole army had moved in the direction of the new town.

At the same time, scout squads rushed in all directions, like a huge cobweb.

……

……

Dong Binh Province.

A newspaper vendor carries a stack of newspapers on his back and sells them on the street.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Today's big event, Qingzhou Han Zhen issued a crusade against the text, Qingzhou and Zizhou fell one after another, and the Western Army Zhangqiu was defeated! ”

Xing Wanli, who was eating breakfast at the stall, suddenly changed his expression when he heard the hawker's words.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly ordered: "Whoever sells newspapers, hurry up and share a newspaper with me!" ”

"Okay!"

The peddler took out a newspaper and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Chenghui Qiwen money!" ”

Xing Wanli directly took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, didn't count them, stuffed them directly into the hands of the vendors, and then snatched the newspaper.

"Thank you for the reward, I wish the officials good fortune, prosperity, many sons, and a long life!"

The hawker was overjoyed, and he didn't want money to say beautiful words.

Xing Wanli didn't have time to pay attention to him, waved his hand, and after signaling the hawker to leave, he opened the newspaper and read it.

At first glance, his pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw that in the most eye-catching position of the newspaper, there was a crusade against it.

"Han Zhen Discusses Zhao Jiyu"

The title of the text alone is terrifying enough.

For more than 100 years since the Great Song Dynasty, there have been countless anti-thieves, but the one who has issued a crusade against the Song Dynasty is the only one.

Xing Wanli is a martial artist, although he is literate, his education level is not high.

Just hurriedly glanced at the text of the four and six, and then turned his gaze downward.

The Western Army was defeated in Zhangqiu, with 8,000 beheaded, 30,000 captured, and Liu Guangshi, the commander of the Left Route Army of the Western Army, was captured alive!

The Western Army is defeated!

And it was a fiasco, and even Liu Guangshi, the commander of the first army, was captured alive.

Xing Wanli's face was full of incredulity and disbelief.

As a martial artist, he knew very well how much impact this news had on the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The Western Army, as the last hole card of the Great Song Dynasty, has always maintained an invincible and invincible image when quelling the rebellion in the territory.

So much so that the anti-thief talked about the Western Army and changed color, fearing like a heavenly soldier and a god general.

It is precisely because of this that countless careerists who are ready to move have to force their inner impulses and obediently be a good citizen.

Everyone knows that as soon as the Western Army arrives, the thieves will be destroyed.

And now, the undefeated golden body of the Western Army is broken.

Although the newspaper said in detail that the main force of the Western Army was only 10,000, and the remaining 30,000 were prisoners of war.

But in any case, this was the first time that the Western Army had suffered a crushing defeat in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to quell the rebels.

So much so that a thought will arise that the Western Army is nothing more than that.

Thinking about this, Xing Wanli broke out in a cold sweat.

However, when he saw another one, he was overjoyed.

[Qing and Zi Erzhou fell, and Zhao Ting, Liu Mi, Chang Yukun and other court officials surrendered to thieves. 】

Sure enough, Xianggong's inference was correct, Qingzhou had already fallen, and officials such as Zhao Ting and Liu Mi had already surrendered to thieves and had been helping the thieves cover up.

The official family misunderstood each other!

Since that petition, although the officials in the county town have not been ridiculed in person, every time they look at them, there is a touch of banter.

These days, Xing Wanli has been holding his breath in his heart, and now that the truth is revealed, he can finally raise his eyebrows.

Xianggong will definitely come back, and he can't say that he can go further.

Overjoyed, Xing Wanli couldn't even bother to eat the wontons, dropped a handful of copper coins, and rushed towards the pavilion with the newspaper.

"Xianggong, Xianggong, happy event!"

Xing Wanli went straight into the study and shouted loudly.

Seeing his surprise, Uncle Zhang put down the book in his hand and scolded: "What kind of system is it to shout and shout, what the official taught you is all regarded as a deaf ear?" ”

"Xianggong, Qingzhou has fallen, Zhao Ting, Liu Mi and other officials have thrown themselves into thieves!" Xing Wanli said, handing over the newspaper in his hand.

"Really?"

Uncle Zhang's night drama shook.

"Sure enough, Xianggong will definitely be able to reinstate the official this time......"

Xing Wan was excited, but seeing Uncle Zhang's solemn expression, he couldn't help but wonder: "Xianggong, why are you unhappy?" ”

Uncle Zhang looked at him with a complicated expression and asked, "Peng Cheng, do you know what it means for a fifth-grade official in the imperial court to surrender to a thief?"

"Zhao Ting is a cowardly and greedy for money, when he was the governor of Hangzhou, he did something about abandoning the city and fleeing, and this time he joined the thief, which is reasonable." Xing Wanli said as a matter of course.

"Huh!"

Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly: "Since Emperor Taizu set the ancestral motto and shared the world with scholars, one hundred and sixty-five years ago, there has never been a precedent for officials to surrender to thieves in my Great Song Dynasty. Even if it is a foreign official who does not enter the stream, there has never been a foreign official from the Jiupin stream. ”

"Now, Zhao Ting and Liu Mi have surrendered to thieves, and this precedent has been opened, and countless officials will follow suit."

"This ......"

Xing Wanli couldn't help but be stunned, not thinking about how serious the consequences were.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhang shook his head and smiled, and without explaining, he raised his hand to take the newspaper.

Crusade against the text?

Uncle Zhang's expression changed, and he watched word by word.

When you see that the sex is not harmonious, the earth is cold and slight. In the past, he was a son and a horse. The young lord is newly established, and he is outside the country. Chen Qiao's mutiny is really a wolf's ambition. I couldn't help but be furious.

This passage can be described as ruthless, and the words are poked on Zhao Song's heart.

almost pointed at Zhao Kuangyin's nose and scolded him for being a beast who plotted the throne and bullied the young master!

The key is that I can't refute it, because there is nothing wrong with what people say, the old Zhao family is not in the right position, and it is by bullying the orphans and widows of the Chai family to get on the throne.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Uncle Zhang continued to look down.

Looking at it, the anger in his heart gradually turned into horror.

[I Han Zhen, a poor peasant for generations, knows the hardships of the people and often hears the hardships of the officials...... Now I wish to be rich and poor for the people, and share the world with the officials! 】

Share the world with the officials!

In the study, the three stoves constantly emitted bursts of heat, but Uncle Zhang didn't feel the slightest warmth at night, but fell into an ice cellar.

Xu Yan, a divine sword that has been covered with dust for a long time, is finally held by a thief!

Uncle Zhang could already imagine that when the anti-thief Han Zhen raised his arms and shouted, the officials all over the world responded one after another, killing officials and opening the city to welcome the new emperor!

Looking at the signature under the text again, Uncle Zhang's eyes darkened.

Xie Ding!

Fuyang Xie's family also surrendered to thieves!

Xishen Gong has worked hard to manage and has accumulated the prestige of Shilin for several generations, doesn't the Xie family want it?

Or does he Xie Ding think that Han Zhen will definitely be able to replace Zhao Song?

Thinking of Zhao Ting and other court officials who surrendered to thieves, Uncle Zhang felt dizzy in his brain for a while.

The amount of information in this newspaper was so large that he hoped that the news in the newspaper was made up.

The imperial court ordered officials to surrender to thieves, Xie Ding wrote a crusade against Zhuwen, and the Western army was defeated...... Each of these is enough to cause a major earthquake.

At the same time, thousands of newspapers are being sent to various states and counties along the official road.

For a while, the world shook!

……

……

"Bastard!"

"How can this be reasonable, I want to cut off Zhao Ting's dog's head!"

Song Huizong threw away the newspaper in his hand, felt uneasy, and kicked the case again.

Under the main hall, Li Bangyan and Cai You lowered their heads slightly, their eyes full of horror.

Wang Huang on the side also lowered his head, looking terrified, but a sneer flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Last time, I wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, but I didn't want to unintentionally insert the willows and willows, and hit it crookedly.

Zhao Ting, this guy, really surrendered to the thief!

You must know that Li Bangyan and Cai You helped Zhao Ting to speak, covered up for him, and stepped on Uncle Zhang Ye.

Now that the situation has reversed and the officials are furious, these two people will definitely be implicated.

"And that Xie Ding!"

Song Huizong remembered the crusade article, and he was even more angry, and laughed angrily: "Fuyang Xie family, what a Fuyang Xie family!" Come on, pass on my will, and take the families of the thieves and the Xie family of Fuyang all to prison! ”

The court ordered officials to surrender to thieves, which was too bad.

If the punishment is not severe, there will certainly be officials who will follow suit.

The rock-solid foundation of the Great Song Dynasty is to share the world with the scholars, and if the scholars do not rebel, he Zhao Song will always sit back and relax.

Can a bunch of mud-legged people turn the sky upside down?

But now, someone has set a precedent.

This is digging his Zhao Song's roots, he Zhao Ji is just mediocre, but he is not an idiot!

In addition to anger, Song Huizong also had a surge of fear in the depths of his heart.

The Western Army is defeated!

He was invincible, relying on his hole cards to pacify the Western Army, which was like a god soldier, and was defeated by the thief.

How does this make him not afraid?

Gollum!

Li Bangyan's mind was in a hurry, but he had no clue, so he had to ask for help with Cai You beside him.

Seeing this, Cai You gritted his teeth and defended: "Your Majesty is angry, the tabloids cannot be trusted, Xu is a thief who deliberately confuses the public and divides the monarch and ministers." Has Your Majesty forgotten the sinful edict of the previous years? ”

Guilty of his own edict!

Song Huizong was stunned for a moment, and his anger suddenly subsided a little.

When Cai Jing dismissed the prime minister for the second time, there were tabloids in Beijing in the name of Song Huizong who compiled a similar edict on his own crimes.

At that time, there was a lot of turmoil in the city, and Song Huizong also ordered a strict investigation of the tabloids, and even offered a reward.

Li Bangyan echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, in order to make profits, the folk tabloids often talk endlessly, and they are bold and reckless in compiling them!" ”

Seeing that Song Huizong's expression softened a little, Cai You continued: "Let's not talk about Zhao Ting, as an official of the imperial court, why did he want to be a thief. That Xie Ding is the contemporary head of the Fuyang Xie family, and he is willing to give up the prestige accumulated by the family for more than 100 years and write for a thief, isn't it ridiculous? ”

"Hmm!"

Song Huizong said thoughtfully: "What you said also has some truth. It is not surprising that those tabloids dared to compile their own edicts in the name of me for the sake of some petty profits. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Bangyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "These tabloids actually said that the Western Army was defeated, but I don't know that yesterday General Manager Liang sent back the good news, and now the remnants of Zhang Di have all been wiped out, Gaotuo Mountain has been surrendered, and only the Black Mountain thieves are still dying, I believe that before the New Year's Festival, they will be able to capture Licheng and return to the dynasty." ”

Thinking of the good news sent back by Liang Fangping yesterday, Song Huizong couldn't help but believe the words of Li Bangyan and Cai You.

The main thing is that the tabloids of recent years are too rampant.

Even the edict of the guilty person dares to make it up, what else does the tabloid dare not make up?

Song Huizong said coldly: "The tabloid should indeed be rectified!" ”

Regardless of whether other current political content is true or false, but the crusade article really scolded him and Emperor Taizu by pointing their noses.
