In mid-March, pegasms kept coming and going between Mingshan and Lin'an. At first, no one noticed this unusual vision. However, as the contact between the two sides became more frequent, the eyes of various forces could not help but pay attention to this side. Immediately afterwards, a news that shocked the entire Southwest 7th Route was quickly ignited and broke out, and its impact on the entire situation was even far greater than that of Lai Yuwen Pi's death.

In Duanjia Mountain, in the main hall, Chu Hanguan, the leader of Duanjia Army, "Duan Chenxiao", sat on a big chair, holding a teacup in his hand. He listened to the news, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly. What the hell are those people doing?

"Ship Chu, the situation is a little bad!"

The person who spoke next to Chu Hanguan was his adviser Diao Jiming, who was listed as two wise generals of the Southwest Seventh Route together with Mingshan's Gui Military Advisor. His position in Duanjia Army was like the Gui Military Advisor in Mingshan's Red Turban Army, which determined the direction of the entire strategic level.

However, even Diao Jiming never expected that the Red Turban Army would have used this trick.

Chu Hanguan was originally a master of the master level. He heard his anger and his energy was dispersed. The entire hall seemed to be suppressed by invisible air, as if he had fallen into a strange abyss.

Diao Jiming said indifferently: "Super Chu is calm. Now is not the time to get angry. I originally thought that the next target of the Red Turban Army was to seize the territory of the Eighth Band Army that had begun to split. Now, in this way, our army will immediately become the target of Weiyuan Army and the Red Turban Army attacking each other, so we must be careful."

Chu Hanguan said in a deep voice: "What should we do now?" A covetous Weiyuan Army has already made Duan Jia's army a headache. In addition, the Red Turban Army, which is about to cooperate with the Weiyuan Army, is already alone in the face of the encirclement and suppression of both sides.

As an official army, the cooperation between the Weiyuan Army and the Red Turban Army, which was the first to launch a riot among all the rebels, was logically impossible, but the current situation is so. Although the Weiyuan Army was reluctant and had to join forces with the Red Turban Army under the suppression of the court, the biggest crisis for the Duanjia Army was obviously already here.

Diao Jiming said: "We have no chance of winning against the Red Turban Army and the Weiyuan Army at the same time. Even if we barely win, the court will definitely send other troops, and the Miao army will come to the scene at any time. There is only one way to break the encirclement."

He slowly spoke out his plan.

Chu Hanguan said angrily: "How can I, Mr. Chu, be as humble as that unfilial daughter, to the court?"

Diao Jiming said: "The situation is so we have to do it. Besides, maybe this is the only correct way. Now that we think about it, our army should have done one step earlier than the Red Turban Army." He knew that no matter how angry Chu Hanguan was, he would eventually obey his opinions, so he was not in a hurry to face Chu Hanguan's anger.

Chu Hanguan said: "What do you say?"

Diao Jiming said: "We have fought with the Red Turban Army for too long. If we continue like this, no one can swallow up the other. If we have to wait until we decide the winner, the situation in the world has changed a lot. Besides, what is the great righteousness today? It is to serve the king and expel the barbarians. If we continue to be a thief, we can only die and trap one place. If we join Dayi, there will be more places for maneuvering. Chu, the situation is different, so we can no longer focus on the southwest. I guess the ghost military advisor in Mingshan also convinced Hong Niang like this. Although he is unwilling to accept it, perhaps this is a long-lasting plan."

There was a dead silence on Duanjia Mountain, and only Diao Jiming was talking nonstop.

Finally, Chu Hanguan's brows slowly stretched out

Lin'an City, the Imperial Palace.

The new emperor Song Hong stood above the steps, full of energy. He looked around the ministers and said with his hands behind his back: "Chu Hanguan, the leader of the bandits in Duanjiashan, followed the Mingshan Red Turban Army to present a surrender, intending to accept the revenge, what do you think?"

Since Song Hong ascended the throne, the old system was changed, the Privy Council was abolished, the military generals were used, and the Imperial Camp Department was established, which completely changed the style of combining military affairs with civilized culture. In the past, the "Three Yas and Ten Imperials" system, which was just a false "three yas and ten imperials" system, also became the main military system of the new dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that at this moment, most of the military generals were promoted from the middle-level army.

Under Song Hong's inquiry, a civil servant said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's great blessing. God blesses the Great Zhou and Mingshan. All the Duanjiashan Mountains are subjugated. The court does not send a single army or a soldier to pacify the southwest. This is entirely due to the emperor's dignity and the grace of your Majesty."

Song Hong said coldly: "Don't tell me about these vulgar people. If God really blesses the Great Zhou Dynasty, the southwest will not be in chaos and barbarians will not come. Although the bandits are recruited, the court is unable to divide their troops and take over their land. The Central Plains have not yet recovered and Bashu has not yet decided. Where did I get my dignity and holy grace?"

The civil servant flattered the horse's leg and retreated embarrassedly.

The commander of the Palace Front Office, Che Jianyu, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Duanjiashan wants to be recruited and surrender to the court. I wonder what the attitude of Weiyuan Army is?"

Song Hong held a memorial in his hand and said, "Mingshan is requesting to surrender. The guardian of the left army of Shenwu, Ju Zhirong, made a statement in succession, and said that the bandits in Mingshan are not trustworthy. The adoptive father of the bandits in Mingshan is the devil king of the world. Zong Xiang was finally killed by the court. How could she be willing to surrender sincerely? Later, I sent Ye Pengcheng and Ye Qing to Mingshan to explore. Ye Qing sent back the news that Mingshan did indeed have the intention to surrender to the court, and even if Mingshan is located,

It vowed to be an enemy of the court, and the court was unable to eliminate it at present. If they had no intention of giving up their surrender, why did they express their surrender? I thought it was true. Moreover, in the current situation, as long as they surrender to the court in name and accept the order of the court, even if they leave troops to occupy land, it would be beneficial to the court. Therefore, I did not adopt Ju Qing's opinion, and directly asked Ye Qing to announce the order on my behalf and invite Mingshan, and Ju Qing did not speak again afterwards."

He continued: "After Mingshan accepted my invitation, I ordered them to cooperate with the Shenwu Left Army to attack and interrupt the Jia army. Immediately afterwards, the Duanjiashan bandits also offered a surrender statement, hoping to surrender to the court. This surrender statement was presented by the Shenwu Left Army. The memorial of the guardian of the Shenwu Left Army Ju Qing also came up. However, Ju Qing did not express his opinion on whether he should accept the surrender of Duanjia army, but just briefly analyzed the pros and cons of it."

An official said: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, what are the advantages and disadvantages of General Ju?

Song Hongdao: "The disadvantages are, if Mingshan side is said to be one side, it can be considered to be an active surrender. The Duanjiashan bandits are clearly attacked by the Mingshan army and the Shenwu Left Army. This time, it was clearly forced to surrender in order to protect themselves. It is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebel in the future. The profits are, first, the court has accepted Mingshan surrender and recruited Duanjiashan, which can be an example in the world and can also boost morale. Secondly, although Hongniang's adopted father was wiped out by the court, Zongmen rebelled, and it is natural for the court to send troops to suppress it. What really made Hongniang hate was that the Red Turban Army split the Red Turban Army that year, which caused Zongxiang to defeat Zongxiang. Chu Hanguan was originally the deputy of Zongxiang, who turned against each other in the battle, and the brothers were killed. The Red Turban Army and the Duanjia army had been fighting for many years, and it was difficult to withstand water and fire."

He continued: "Juqing believes that the Red Turban Army has the possibility of surrendering to the court, but it is impossible to negotiate peace with the Duanjia Army. Since the court accepted the surrender of the Red Turban Army, it would be better to accept the surrender of the Duanjia Army. If the Duanjia Army was wiped out, if the Red Turban Army rebelled, the court would be equivalent to rebel against the Red Turban Army to eliminate a major enemy and make the Red Turban Army grow bigger. Accepting the surrender of the Duanjia Army, these two families can restrain each other. If any side has recurrence, the court can help one side encircle the other. Under such concerns, neither side dares to rebel easily."

The ministers looked at each other, and Che Jianyu said, "This is reasonable for the general. In my opinion, although there are pros and cons, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages in the end. However, Duan Jiajun was forced to surrender this time. In order to show the court's kindness, Chu Hanguan could send his son to Lin'an. First, the court appointed his son as an official to show kindness, and secondly, he left his son in the court to be hostage. In addition, Mingshan and Duan Jiashan were both recruited by the court, so naturally the two armies would stop fighting.

But they were idle, and they should use the imperial decree to order them to go north to fight the Miao army. Now that the Miao army occupies Bashu, we have joined the two states of China, Luo, and the imperial officers and soldiers are all stationed on the south bank of Changhe to prevent the barbarians from going south and unable to resist the Miao army. Order Mingshan and the two armies of Jia fight against the Miao army can restrain the strength of the Miao army, and at the same time, it can also be seen whether they surrender sincerely. If they surrender sincerely, in the future, they will be granted official positions and generals. "

Song Hongdao: "Your words are exactly what I want!"

He looked around and shouted: "Now that the enemy is dependent on each other, the southwest has been settled. However, the great troubles of our China are still barbarians. It is imperative to recover the Central Plains. I want to strive for governance and enrich the country and strengthen the army. If I cannot restore my country, I am ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors. I hope that all the ministers will share the same heart as my king and ministers to revive the Great Zhou."

The ministers suddenly became heroic and bowed down one after another, and the mountains shook the sky.

He accepted the surrender of Duanjia Army and was soon assigned to him.

In the evening of that day, Emperor Song Hong received Gan Yushu, the envoy of the Ma Army and the Commander of the Commander of the Palace in the evening of the palace.

Gan Yushu stood in the hall. After saluting, he said respectfully: "I wonder what is important to you when Your Majesty summoned me to me?"

Emperor Song Hong pondered for a moment and said, "I have a mission, I want you to do it."

Gan Yushu said: "Your Majesty asks you to make it clear that I will go through fire and water, but I dare not refuse."

Song Hongdao: "Do you know where Ningjiang is now?"

Gan Yu Shu said: "This"

Song Hong leaned against his hands in front of the dragon throne, walked two steps, and said, "Ningjiang is a man who has made great contributions to the country, but others don't know it, but I know it in my heart. On that day, if Emperor Zhaozong was willing to use him as a minister and use his new method, even if he still could not defend the north of the Huanghe River, it would not cause the capital to fall. A large area of ​​land in the Central Plains was trampled by the barbarian cavalry, Zhaozong was also captured by the barbarian Hu, and all civil and military officials were in trouble. However, after defeating Mengyu's main force, Weiyuan's army retreated south to be my Shenwu Left Army, but Ningjiang offended Zhaozong and failed to defend Haojing, and left Shenwu Left Army in the name of no contribution to the country. I ordered Ju Zhirong to invite him to Haojing, and I would use it more. Ju Zhirong submitted a letter to apologize and said that he did not know where Ningjiang was going."

Gan Yushu said: "Your Majesty"

Song Hong waved his hand and said, "Listen to me. Now the mountains and rivers have changed. My China has lost half of the country. How can I have a complete egg when I collapse the nest? If Ningjiang is unwilling to serve the country, I would not believe it. Zhaozong treats him so badly. Last year, Haojing was surrounded by the barbarian army, and he still strives to serve the king and annihilate Meng Yu's 100,000 barbarian soldiers. If it were not for the fact that the official troops of other states were really vulnerable, the former Privy Council envoy, Tang Haogong, who had hundreds of thousands of troops, dared not fight with the barbarian army. The Weiyuan army was difficult to deal with, and Haojing would not be defeated, and Zhaozong would be able to survive. This is a strange shame that China has never seen in history. However, Ning Qing has made contributions in this matter, and I know it well."

He also said: "Actually, I know that in the world, my Shenwu Left Army is called the Ning Family Army. I changed the military system and restarted the three yamen and ten imperial guards. Although the Weiyuan Army was renamed the Shenwu Left Army, I did not move from top to bottom. Not only because it was a capable army. I hope that it would continue to maintain their morale and spirit, but also because I hope that Ning Qing can enter the court again and use it for me. Ning Qing is indispensable to expel the barbarians and regain the rivers and mountains. I am also different from Zhaozong. As long as Ning Qing is willing to enter the court, I will use it more."

Gan Yushu said: "Your Majesty, I don't know where Ningjiang is now."

Song Hong smiled and said, "Of course I know, but this is the mission I have given you. I want you to do a Lu Zhonglian and talk about a marriage, are you willing?"

Gan Yushu said in surprise: "Marriage? Your Majesty means"

Song Hongdao: "Do you know that when the late emperor Shenzong was in power, he had the intention to betroth Princess Red Butterfly to Ning Qing? At that time, Ning Qing was heartbroken and resigned from the capital due to the death of Princess Luanmei. The late emperor clearly stated that he would only give him two years. Two years later, the late emperor would take over the love. Later, the barbarians went south for the first time, and Ning Qing spontaneously went to Caishixia to stop the barbarian army from threatening Haojing's partial army. The late emperor was very happy, so he used it more, and he also wanted to give Princess Red Butterfly. However, later, the late emperor passed away and Zhaozong ascended the throne, and this matter was only aborted. Now, Hong

Butterfly has grown up, and she and Luanmei were originally aunts and nephews. I see that they are also similar to Princess Luanmei. I heard that Ning Qing has not yet taken a wife, and there are three unfilial things, and it is the greatest thing to have no descendants. He was originally the only son in the family. Although he had a vow to never marry for his life due to Princess Luanmei's death, Hongdie was the niece of Luanmei and used his nephew to replace her aunt, which was not considered a vow. My mission to you is to find Ning Qing and make a marriage. As for how to find him and how to explain it to him, that is your business. You can go down."

Gan Yushu was speechless for a moment. Obviously, the emperor did not intend to give him a chance to refuse.

After the resignation, he walked out of the palace, raised his head, looked at the rising stars and moon, and shook his head helplessly. Forget it, he thought he was a dreamer who was drunk with flowers, snow and moon, but unexpectedly he was running around and working hard. It seemed that this incident would not be possible.
