Gathering of Storms(37)
At this time, most of the Zonghengmen had been collected, and there was no rush to buy food and clothing on the Sichuan and Shaanxi Fourth Road, which shows that the martial arts had already been prepared. At this point, Kou Zhun also breathed a sigh of relief, this battle did not allow the imperial court to retreat, nor did he allow martial arts to retreat. It has always been taboo for the imperial court of Yaozong, and it is the bright side of Yaozong to help the world and save people, but it is the other side of darkness to control poison and harm people, although more often they are just defensive. And the huge weapon of Shushan's defense is the fog of Shushan, Shushan is shrouded in fog all the year round, the humidity is very heavy, and it is mixed with the ecstasy incense of the medicine sect, no matter how many people can't help. Although the famous doctors of various state capitals, Ximen, and even the Hanlin Medical Hospital all went to Shushan for inspection, they all returned in vain. It is precisely this point that it is unrealistic for the army to besiege Shushan, and the medical precipitation of Shushan has been two hundred and forty-six years, which is completely beyond the ability of the imperial court to deal with.
But this is a hurdle that Kou Zhun must overcome, and if it doesn't work with the method of cracking, then it will be hard, which Kou Zhun has already calculated. Although the imperial court did not adjust manpower well, Kou Zhun seemed to be a little impatient, so he sent a special envoy to Shushan for questioning. For this point, the double envoy of the Zonghengmen who is now sitting in Shushan ignored it and retreated, which made Kou Zhun embarrassed.
It was in these few days that Qing Qing Gentle Knife, the master of the Five Gates of the Middle Route Army of the Zongheng Gate, disappeared, and he disappeared in the barracks tent. This time the vertical and horizontal door was shocked, and after the investigation, it was found that it was robbed from the tunnel. This is really powerful, but there is no clue, but the vertical and horizontal gate has not been deeply investigated, and it is not so simple to be able to spend such a thought. You must know that the defense of each sect master is tight, and there are no less than 500 personal guards alone, plus the personal guards, scout orders, stove fire squads, attendants, and disciples of Yulin Yuan. The disciples of the Zongheng faction, the Octagonal Guard, as many as more than a thousand people, still disappeared so silently. This is the last wave of the middle lane army, Jianqiu is leading in the front, and Mansha is responding in the middle lane. Qingqing is behind the rear hall, and the defense is the most. But there was no noise at the Zongheng Gate, and the envoys did not do anything, except to settle the army. But the five elements that are usually good can hardly bear the pain of the disappearance of their loved ones, and the five of them were personally selected by Leng Yueji, who have been together since childhood, and have very good feelings. At this time, as the master of the vertical and horizontal gates, he is in charge of the overall situation, and he must not mess up his own position for this. That will affect the entire layout of the gate. However, the pain of the suffering of their loved ones has never been worried, although they know that the opponent dares to make a move, there must be a countermeasure, and there may be a turnaround when launching the vertical and horizontal gate inventory, but the power of the vertical and horizontal gate will be consumed will be more than worth the loss.
Kou Zhun came south and rushed to Shushan without pausing for a few days, and the assembly and stationing of Zonghengmen had been completed, and it was time for his court to make a move. Having learned the lessons of the Great War of the DPRK, people's hearts are the most important thing for Kou Zhun, and as for the rest, he has disdained it, and he can't do anything if he doesn't have a solid foundation. His purpose was very simple, to mobilize Jianhou Camp as the main force. The south gate is auxiliary. Kou Zhun is not a ruthless person, there are more than 28,400 people who died heroically in the South Gate in the Great War of Martial Arts, although he did not see it, but the arrogance of the South Gate, that determination, Kou Zhun is respectful. More than 28,000 people were martyred, which would be extremely tragic. The so-called martial arts, for a country and a nation, martial arts is just a contempt for hey dao. But martial arts know how to use the people and win the hearts of the people. No dynasty is perfect, and neither is the Song Dynasty, so this gives him a place to go above board.
The imperial court has always attached great importance to the control of Shu, and it has never been relaxed since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Between Shu and the Central Plains, this is not the confrontation of one country, but the contest of two different cultures, but one big and one small. And Liu Qianzheng, the Ximen Xizong who was in contact with Kou Zhun, sent a map of the three hundred and eighty-two peaks of Shu Mountain in time. As soon as I saw the dense mountain name Kou Zhun on the map, I had a headache, among the three hundred and eighty-two peaks of Shu Mountain, there were one hundred and two mountains that only lived in people, and the number of people gathered was as high as 160,000 people, although there were more old and weak women and children, but there were also 56,000 people in the whole army, plus 80,000 people who moved from the Zongheng Gate, the military strength gathered here was as high as more than 130,000 people, and among them, the disciples of Shu Mountain would use poison, and most of the masters of the Zongheng Gate gathered here, and it seemed that this battle was more difficult to shake than the war of the DPRK. The commanders in the tent were surprised when they saw the map, the country of Tianfu in Shu had long been under the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty, but they didn't know that there were still so many Hedao gathered here, and everyone was shocked. Kou Zhun's eyes swept to a group of people, these people are all people Kou Zhun is familiar with, although the DPRK and China have been full of criticism for his nepotism, but he always believes that only with one heart and one mind, tacit understanding and knowledge, can defeat the enemy. And the Northern Expedition of the imperial court failed miserably, talking on paper, and the literary world also criticized it, Kou took it out from time to time to contradict a few words, which was quite effective.
The manpower of the East Gate into the Jianhou camp was as high as 34,000 people, and Kou Zhun asked the West Gate to send this map to the imperial court, and the West Gate Stone Broken Army, the South Gate Guo Xiao, and Kou Zhun jointly signed an urgent Ming Song. When the map was transmitted to the imperial court, the ministers were shocked, and they did not choose to believe it, thinking that Kou Zhun deliberately exaggerated the power of martial arts, demanded power and money, and set up private mountains. At least since the beginning of the dynasty, except for a few that have been deployed, the head of the camp has led more than 50,000 troops, and has never seen a civilian prime minister without martial arts lead such a huge army, the prime minister is indeed ridiculous to lead the troops, so what do the generals do? But Zhao Heng does not think so, in order to avoid suspicion, Wang Jixian did not play a joint but went on a secret performance, plus the internal secret, Zhao Heng has long had a bottom in his heart. But if you want to persuade these people, you have to turn your tongue, Zhao Heng shouted: "During the Battle of the South Gate, you persuaded me not to have full power, and as a result, tens of thousands of soldiers would rather die than retreat, and martyred the country. I am so disappointed that such a loyal martyr, at such a decisive moment, still does not want to forge ahead, and so the court does not follow reality and only cares about that illusion, how can it be done?
Seeing that Long Yan was furious and the ministers did not dare to speak, although Wang Qinruo led the ministers and the emperor to argue, at this time, he changed his tone and shouted on the ground, "Your Majesty is sage, the ministers are ignorant, please surrender your Majesty." In one sentence, all the ministers were summed up. The war of Chaoshu was imminent, and the use of the military ministers naturally increased, so the military ministers followed and knelt down to ask for guilt, at this time the Wenchen was in a dilemma, and finally knelt down. Zhao Heng is satisfied, this is the benefit of Wang Qinruo, it can help him save a lot of trouble. As an emperor, he always believes that the positive and the negative are the same, but it lies in the measurement of the emperor. Although Wang Qinruo has the ability to be jealous of the virtuous, he can do things that many people can't do, and it is harmless to do some small evils, as long as he does not cause trouble and go beyond the program and harm the people, all this will be fine. Unexpectedly made up his mind, Zhao Heng also kept thinking about the next battle between Chaoshu and Shu. was rebellious and rampant, and even decided to go to war, Zhao Heng immediately made up his mind and poured the power of the South Gate, the East Gate, and the West Gate to suppress Kou. But although the three colleagues, the east gate can not be poured out, the core interests of the royal family and nobles can not be harmed, but if half of it is feasible and necessary, there are so many bandits, it is time for you to serve the country. Just a few words came out of the emperor's mouth, the emperor was relaxed, and the ministers were worried, but all this was imperative.
There is not much opposition, but this move of the imperial court will cost at least more than 100,000 manpower, not including the darkness. With such a huge force, coupled with Kou Zhun's original troops, the ministers seemed to have seen the dawn of victory. The Song court's national policy of guarding the inside and outside has never changed, and the emperor's decisions in dealing with rebellion are often easier to mobilize his ministers, simple and heavy. Such a huge force was handed over to Kou Zhun alone, but Zhao Heng was not at ease, but if he set up a supervision army at this time, it would limit his actions, so Zhao Heng ordered to retreat from the dynasty, but left the prime minister Wang Dan. Although Wang Dan is new, it is inconvenient to speak out about many things, but His Majesty actually left him as a test and an inquiry. So as soon as Zhao Heng asked, Wang Dan immediately responded: "The foolish minister thinks that Your Majesty can rest assured that the court has lost face in the previous war, and all this lies in the word full power." It is a pity that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are in charge, but this court is in charge of His Majesty, and everything will be borne by His Majesty. Zhao Heng was quite appreciative and sighed: "I don't know, it's just that with such a heavy burden and Kou Qing's temperament, I am uneasy." Wang Dan responded: "With the national prestige of our Great Song Dynasty, if Kou Zhizhou is defeated, it will be easy for Your Majesty to send troops to surrender again." Where the national prestige is, the dignity of the emperor is also righteous and crooked, and it is not evil. Zhao Heng suddenly understood, indeed, Xiaoyao City moved the army first, this time the Chaoshu War will be greatly damaged no matter what the result is, and the manpower of the imperial court can be replenished at any time, and then he will send the Sichuan and Shaanxi Fourth Route Army to suppress it, it is not impossible.
But Wang Dan's proposal he could only be silent and could not respond, many things he did as the emperor, but he always taboo because it was too dirty.
And Kou Zhun, who was far away on Yizhou Road, gathered nearly 50,000 people in his hands to the west of Chengdu at this time, and did not besiege Shushan or attack. Although the Song Dynasty stationed a large number of Jingying forbidden troops in Shudi, so many unknown people gathered like this, which frightened the people of Yizhou Road. Chengdu is known as Jinguan City, Furong City, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, although the control of Shu is strict, but the wealth of the Chengdu Plain area has risen rapidly, especially near Chengdu, the government control is effective, making Yizhou more prosperous, has shown the grand situation of the country of abundance. Originally, thirteen years ago, during the four years of Emperor Taizong Chunhua of the Great Song Dynasty, Chengdu was still Chengdu Mansion, but later Wang Xiaobo, Li Shun and others rebelled against the Shu regime, and Chengdu Mansion was reduced to Yizhou since then.
Kou Zhun stationed a large number of troops in the west, and for a while, the medicine market in the west of Chengdu was encroached, and the flower market was silent. Although Kou Zhun had greeted him before he came, Kou Zhun's army came quickly, and Quan Zhi Yizhou Prefecture Military and Yizhou Road Capital Mao Cunxu did not ease up. Most of the generals on the extreme side are appointed by courtiers, and their skills are not bad. In fact, the reason why Zhao Heng trusted Mao so much was that he was a well-rounded man and martial artist, and the results of his three years in office shocked Zhao Heng, so that the people of Yizhou Road asked to stay, so he approved it for another three years. Kou Zhun Mao has survived, and he has also had a lot of dealings with the DPRK and the Central People, although he knows that this person can take on big things, but he is not used to Kou Zhun's behavior. Before Kou Zhun came, Emperor Zhao Heng had sent an edict to let him and Li Shi, the governor of Yizhou, pass the sentence Huada to report Kou Zhun's words and deeds at any time. Moreover, Zhao Heng also specially instructed Chengdu City to govern Wang Chaofeng in the city, and Zhang Qian was transferred by water to Yizhou Road and Zhuzhou, so that Zhang Qian tried to limit Kou Zhun's reckless behavior as much as possible. Zhao Heng actually doesn't count on this, can anyone in this world be able to suppress Kou Zhun? There must be no, Zhao Heng is sure of this. Now Zhao Heng is ready to send an arrow, and he can only resign himself to fate. (To be continued......)
