Chapter 276: Doing Song Jiang two small favors
…
Xu Huai committed suicide, and the high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry in Yuncheng who resisted opened the door and surrendered under the leadership of Zhang Wenyuan, the county leader, and Yuncheng was broken.
Jiang Hongfei strictly ordered all units of the Liangshan Army not to enter the people's houses and offices, and sent civil and administrative personnel to post notices along the streets and alleys, and read them out loud: If the people in the city, regardless of the army or civilians, surrender immediately, not kill a single person, and if they resist, they will be killed.
The people of Yuncheng County understand that the last piece of territory belonging to the Zhao and Song Dynasty has also become Shuibo Liangshan.
- In fact, the people of Yuncheng County have long known that there will be such a day, so they are not surprised.
Jiang Hongfei walked into the county government and sat in the center.
Zhang Wenyuan led the dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry of Yuncheng County to come to worship their crimes.
Jiang Hongfei looked at Zhang Wenyuan and said: "Except for you, other dignitaries and nobles, wealthy families, and gentry and prominent families in Yuncheng all went to the public trial platform and accepted the public trial of the people of this county. ”
Zhang Wenyuan was overjoyed when he heard that he was an exception!
But Zhang Wenyuan still suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to intercede with others: "I hope that the owner of the village can also be kind to others!" ”
Jiang Hongfei looked at Zhang Wenyuan, who had clear eyebrows, white teeth and red lips, learned to be handsome and handsome, and even better tasted bamboo and silk, and bared his teeth: "Zhang Wenyuan, have you misunderstood?" ”
Zhang Wenyuan was slightly stunned, he thought: "Misunderstanding? What is the misunderstanding? Isn't it because I am dignified, talk extraordinary, and take the lead in surrendering, and you moved to recruit me, so you let me go? ”
It's no wonder that Zhang Wenyuan thinks so, you know, because he has a good skin and can speak well, Zhang Wenyuan is easier to do than many people, and even Song Jiang, the former first brother of Yuncheng, is willing to befriend him, so that he has won the name of "Little Zhang San".
It can be said that relying on his good looks and good conversation, Zhang Wenyuan has been prosperous over the years, and even completed the gorgeous transformation from an official to an official that Song Jiang did not complete.
Zhang Wenyuan, who relies on his appearance and smooth sailing in conversation, will inevitably have some self-confidence.
Therefore, Zhang Wenyuan, who really didn't understand what Jiang Hongfei meant, bowed to Jiang Hongfei and said, "Please also ask the owner of the village to make it clear." ”
Jiang Hongfei said: "When you were the poster of the book, Song Jiang and you were colleagues, sincerely intersected with you, and invited you to his house for a drink." You coveted beauty and hooked up with Yan Po in Song Jiang's outer room. Later, Yan Poxi was killed by Song Jiang, and she instigated Yan Poxi's mother to sue Song Jiang. He also served as a witness in the case of Song Jiang's murder of Yan Poxi. Just a frivolous and frivolous villain like you, who likes to mess with flowers and grass, who is merry, and who violates gratitude, how can I keep you?! ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Hongfei directly blocked the ground and slapped the shocked wood, and ordered: "Zhang Wenyuan doesn't have to go to the public trial platform, he will cut it directly, his family will raid the house, and all the men in his family will go to the public trial platform and accept the public trial; All the women in his family were criminalized and reassigned! ”
Zhang Wenyuan was shocked when he heard this!
Because of that grudge with Song Jiang, Zhang Wenyuan always paid attention to Song Jiang's movements.
Later, after learning that Song Jiang had fallen into the grass on Naitou Mountain and became the big brother of the underworld, Zhang Wenyuan was worried all day long, for fear that one day Song Jiang would kill and return to Yuncheng County to find him to take revenge.
But slowly, Zhang Wenyuan discovered that Song Jiang was really a big-bellied person, and he didn't care about him greening Song Jiang at all, and wanted to put Song Jiang to death, so he didn't mean to seek revenge on him at all.
Later, Zhang Wenyuan heard that Song Jiang was merged by Jiang Hongfei, and the whole family died under the iron hooves of Liang Shanjun, Zhang Wenyuan's heart completely let go - Zhang Wenyuan felt that he had stolen Yan Po and cherished Song Jiang, lost his official body and became a prisoner, and even indirectly caused Song Jiang's family to be ruined.
I don't want to, heaven is good for reincarnation, and the sky will spare anyone.
In the end, he Zhang Wenyuan still died in this matter.
Zhang Wenyuan was unconvinced: "The owner of the village, isn't Song Jiang your enemy?" Why do you want to avenge him? ”
Not to mention that Zhang Wenyuan is a dead man immediately, explaining to a dead man that killing him by himself is purely because he can't get used to seeing him do bad things and still be happy, making him one of the few fish in the Water Margin, which is a pure waste of time.
Even if Zhang Wenyuan is not dead, Jiang Hongfei will not explain anything to this little person.
It was only after Zhang Wenyuan was pushed down and his head was cut off that Jiang Hongfei said to the left and right: "This generation of ungrateful people will be punished by everyone." ”
Zhang Wenyuan was executed, and Jiang Hongfei sent someone to find Tang Niu'er, who returned to Yuncheng County after serving his sentence two years ago.
This Tang Niu'er is a small helper on the streets of Yuncheng County, selling dregs and pickles as a business, and Song Jiang is quite good, and often has Song Jiang to help him, but some official things to sue Song Jiang, but also ended up with a few dollars, when Song Jiang wants to use him, he will die forward.
Song Jiang killed Yan Po, he saw Yan Po and the county government come forward to twist Song Jiang, so he went over and rewarded Yan Po with a slap, and he was quick for a while. Song Jiang escaped, but he was twisted into the yamen by Yan Po. Tang Niu'er didn't know about Song Jiang's killing of Yan Po at all, but the people in Yuncheng County all wanted to protect Song Jiang, and they just ended the murder case on Tang Niu'er, and was stabbed by Shi Wenbin with 20 canes and 500 miles away on the charge of "arson and fugitives".
The murderer Song Jiang, up to the county, to Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, down to the people, everyone knows it, and they all exonerate Song Jiang, but Song Jiang patted his ass and ran away.
Tang Niu'er, who played soy sauce, became a scapegoat, first beat thirty or fifty boards indiscriminately and detained, and then twenty spines, pierced his face, and exiled for five hundred miles, becoming a prisoner.
What's more, what's even more terrifying is that everyone treats Tang Niu'er as nothing.
Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of the county, knew that Tang Niu'er was wronged, but he deliberately slandered Tang Niu'er as an accomplice.
Zhu Tong dotted up and down, dotted Zhang Wenyuan, dotted the public in the state, and even dotted Yan Po, but he didn't expect Tang Niu'er at all.
Song Jiang later became the boss, and he seemed to have forgotten this humble life that once took the blame for him.
To be a man to Tang Niuer's part, I have to say that it can be regarded as sad to the extreme.
In Jiang Hongfei's opinion, Tang Niu'er is not bad, at least not bad, no, it should be said that he is still a little righteous, and he will do his best to do whatever Song Jiang asks him to do.
The key is that after disposing of Zhang Wenyuan, an ungrateful villain, Jiang Hongfei wanted to establish a righteous little person as the "corporate culture" of Shuibo Liangshan.
So, Jiang Hongfei rewarded Tang Niuer with 100 acres of spiritual land and 500 spiritual money on the grounds that Tang Niuer took the initiative to slap Yan Po to win the opportunity for Song Jiang to escape, and also let Tang Niuer enter the Yuncheng County Brigade and become a small leader.
Tang Niu'er was grateful to Jiang Hongfei and needless to say.
Just said that this is also a small favor for Jiang Hongfei to help Song Jiang.
Actually, it's all just a vignette.
The overall situation is that after laying Yuncheng County, Shuibo Liangshan immediately has a greater strategic space.
However, Jiang Hongfei's ambition is obviously not satisfied with this.
After pulling out the nail in Yuncheng County, Jiang Hongfei sent Liu Huiniang to lead the Beiwei Army, the Tabai Army, the Broken Enemy Army, the Youyi Army, and the Tiefutu Left Army and the Tiefutu Right Army to Xingqing City every once in a while, and at the same time sent Chen Xizhen to lead the Ma Fifth Army, Ma Sixth Army, Ma Fourteenth Army, and the Eleventh and Thirteenth Infantry Army to capture Puzhou......
In the face of Liang Shanjun's unscrupulous expansion of the results, Gao Yu chose to stick to Xingqing Mansion and close his door.
The reason why Gao Yu is like this:
First, it was because of this defeat, which made Gao Yu very angry, and even more frightened Gao Yu's courage, so that Gao Yu easily did not dare to send people out of the city to fight against the Liangshan army.
Second, because after this defeat, the location of Xingqing Mansion is even more important, if Gao Yu loses Xingqing Mansion, then the Liangshan army can enter Henan and directly take Tokyo Bianliang City, so that the Zhao Song Dynasty will be at risk of destroying the country.
……
The news that Gao Yu was defeated by the Liangshan army had already spread in Bianliang City, Tokyo.
Wang Hao really didn't expect Gao Yu to be so vulnerable.
At the beginning, it was Wang Hao's idea to Zhao Ji to let Gao Yu go to Liangshan to suppress Shuibo.
Now that the army has failed, who should bear the responsibility?
The prime minister's throne Wang Huang has just sat hot, don't capsize because of this.
Wang Hao was very worried, and he paced back and forth in the capital hall, thinking hard about countermeasures.
Wang Hao felt that the failure of the troops this time was too undeserved. It's true that Gao Yu is a courtier, but Uncle Zhang has the ability to do it at night, and he has ten knots, all of them are battle-hardened generals, how could they be defeated by the Liangshan bandits?
Moreover, the process of Gao Yu's preparation, Wang Hao has always seen it, it can be said that Gao Yu has brought all the power that can be brought, and it should be foolproof.
How can this still be lost?
Wang Huang was puzzled.
At this time, the chamberlain Zhang Di suddenly came to deliver a decree that Zhao Ji asked him to go to the Chongzheng Palace to discuss matters quickly.
Wang Hao hurried to the Chongzheng Palace, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Zhao Ji angrily throwing a piece of music on the ground, and Liang Shicheng, the inner servant, was squatting on the ground to pick it up.
Zhao Ji said: "The 100,000 army was killed and wounded in a battle! Shameful! Impotent! It's a shame that I promoted him to the ministry of the palace marshal's mansion, and that's how he repaid me?! ”
Zhao Ji's face was gloomy, and his voice seemed to have changed tone, not as soft as usual.
Wang Hao chuckled in his heart, he glanced at the piece in Liang Shicheng's hand, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is angry, it is impossible to kill and wound all the dead?" Whose recital is this so exaggerated? ”
Liang Shicheng handed the piece to Wang Hao and gave him a look, meaning that the piece was not credible.
Wang Hao nodded slightly, indicating understanding. He looked down at the chapter, it turned out to be written by Hou Meng, the prefect of Dongming, and a smile immediately spread on his face: "Your Majesty, Hou Meng has always been a good writer and good at exaggeration, Your Majesty doesn't have to believe it." ”
Hou Meng was originally the governor of Bozhou, and it was Wang Hao who promoted him and sent him to Dongming, and wanted him to go to Dongming to investigate the internal movements of Shuibo Liangshan, and to make contributions to the extermination of Shuibo Liangshan, but who knew that he had repeatedly called for recruiting Shuibo Liangshan, and let Shuibo Liangshan go to exterminate the other three major Kou, echoing with the ministers who opposed the extermination of Shuibo Liangshan in the court, which aroused the strong disgust of Wang Huang, who was in the main battle, and Wang Hao had long wanted to find a suitable position to transfer him away.
Wang Hao said: "The official, the minister estimates that Gao Taiwei's recital should also be coming soon, and see what he says." ”
Wang Hao felt that although the Song army lost the war, it could not be as serious as Hou Meng said.
After a while, the Yintai Division really presented Gao Yu's recital, and three articles in a row were impeachment. An article impeached Wang Huan, saying that Wang Huan underestimated the enemy's rash advance, faced the battle, helped the thief to plot, and disregarded the overall situation; The second article impeached Xu Huai, saying that Xu Huai was not rescued when he saw danger, supported the army to protect himself, and was broken by the Liangshan army; The third article impeached Hou Meng, who did not think about breaking the enemy, but only wanted to recruit the thieves of Liangshan, who were not dead, to promote the flames of thieves and destroy the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty.
Wang Hao quickly understood Gao Yu's intentions, and he felt that letting Wang Huan and Xu Huai bear the responsibility for this defeat was the best result.
At the same time, Wang Hao had to admire Gao Yu, Jiang was indeed old and spicy.
Wang Hao said: "Official, Gao Taiwei made it very clear in the recital that Wang Huan and Xu Huai did not lead the army well, so they suffered this defeat. If they could follow the plan formulated by Gao Taiwei, defend carefully, wait for the loach ship to be built, and then fight the Liangshan bandits, the situation would never have come to this. For the sake of military justice, the minister suggested that the two of them should be severely punished. ”
Wang Hao knew that he had to be consistent with Gao Yu, because only in this way could he keep his position as prime minister.
Zhao Ji is no stranger to Wang Huan, he had heard of Wang Huan's deeds as early as 20 years ago.
More than 40 years ago, Wang Huan was still a young man, known as "Merry Wang Huan", he fell in love with the courtesan He Lianlian, and then Wang Huan was kicked out by He's mother, and He Lianlian was forcibly married. But He Lianlian secretly helped Wang Huan to join the army in the border area, Wang Huan made military achievements, was named the envoy of the festival, and the two joined forces to punish the wicked person who forcibly married He Lianlian. Husband and wife reunite, success and fame, and everyone is happy.
Zhao Ji couldn't figure it out, why was that merry Wang Huan so useless now?
Zhao Ji asked: "Wang Huan is over seventy years old this year, right?" ”
Liang Shicheng hurriedly replied: "It's already seventy-one." ”
Zhao Ji sighed lightly: "Life is seventy years old, he is seventy-one, don't punish him heavily, just demote him." ”
Later, the news of Xu Huai's martyrdom came, and Zhao Ji did not cure Xu Huai's crimes, but on the contrary, he promoted Xu Huai to the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.
As for Hou Meng, Zhao Ji didn't deal with it, because he also moved the mind of Zhao'an Shuibo Liangshan, and Hou Meng said that it might be useful.
Soon, an edict from the Zhao and Song courts reached the Xingqing Mansion, ordering Wang Huan to be sent to the Privy Council of the Beijing Division to be punished.
Everyone understands in their hearts that Wang Huan is carrying the black pot for Gao Yu and is making a scapegoat for Gao Yu.
Many people said: "Wang Jiedu is a general, he has been in the army for decades, and he has raised troops wherever he wants, why not fight?" Why can't the city go down? It's a pity to be ashamed today! ”
Some people also said: "Those who look at the overall situation are also the captains." Wang Jiedu led the army to block the enemy, was defeated in battle, and survived the danger of death, what is the crime? ”
There are also some people who are very sympathetic to Wang Huan, and they say to Wang Huan: "The old general has been fighting horses all his life, and it is time to rest, and from then on retire to the rivers and lakes to enjoy the blessings." ”
But Wang Huan didn't appreciate it, he gave Zhao Ji a sincere recital, saying that he could accept the punishment of demotion, but he was unwilling to leave the front line, and he hoped to be able to go to the battlefield again to be ashamed, rather than go back to retire.
Zhao Ji was moved by Wang Huan's persistence, and demoted Wang Huan to the deputy training envoy of Dingtao, and still acted according to orders in Gao Yu's army......
