"I emphasize again that each person is only responsible for one hour. But the specific time and tactics of the attack are up to you. In short, there is only one purpose. Don't let Lu Ziming and his men sleep well!" In the lobby of the county government in Ye County
, Han Qing sat upright and added in a loud voice. In his movements, he seemed to have the air of a famous general.
"It's an order!" Wu You, Li Yu, Zhang Fan, Liu Hong and the other four commanders selected from the grain cadres all agreed in unison. Then they stepped forward in order of official rank, took the order arrow, and strode out to execute the order.
.
The lobby of the county government office soon became empty. Han Qing took a breath, turned to Ding Wei, and gently cupped his hands, "Shu Zhi, look..."
"As per your arrangement, I am a civil servant and don't understand this. Before you didn't come back, I had to catch up. Now that you are back, I just have a few days of rest." Ding Wei was very talkative and responded with a smile and cupped his hands.
This is neither modest nor polite.
Ask yourself, no matter what, he can't achieve a record of 200 to 6000. He doesn't have the courage and ability to lead a mere two hundred brothers and go straight to the enemy's coach's sleeping tent!
What's more, Han Qing was generous enough in his work. Even if he didn't participate and just watched the fun, his support was not less emphasized in the victory report to the court.
Nowadays, looking at Jingdong East Road, who doesn’t know that Han Tixing is the bravest among the three armies, and Ding Shuzhi is more scheming and good at making decisions? Since everything is left to Han Qing, he can earn a lot of money and face, and Ding Shuzhi can make a lot of money.
Why do we need to bite the bullet and add unnecessary fuss?
"Since Shu Zhi has no other instructions, others should abide by their duties. Remember, without the joint handwriting of Shu Zhi and me, no local officials or idlers are allowed to approach the city walls and gates!" We are already very close to each other.
Now that they were familiar with each other, Han Qing was no longer polite to Ding Wei. He turned to the remaining generals and gave orders with a smile.
"That's your order!" The generals present all raised their hands and strode away. All of them held their heads high and were high-spirited.
Although these days, military exploits are far less valuable than when Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong were alive, the amount and weight of the military exploits distributed to everyone is overwhelming.
From the time we left Qingzhou last month to now, everyone has followed Han Tixing and their contributions have never stopped. Therefore, after the Chunyang Sect is pacified, everyone's official position will probably jump up one or two levels.
In addition, because of their continuous meritorious service, almost every soldier felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart. He felt that a life-and-death fight was just such a ruthless thing.
With this spirit in the hearts of the soldiers, the mental outlook of the entire team is completely different. Although the number of people is still the same, and the identities are still mainly grain officers, at first glance, they are no worse than the Forbidden Army, which the imperial court relies on most.
How many.
"If Shu Zhi has no other instructions, I will also resign!" Watching the last general leave, Han Qing himself stood up from behind the commander's case and asked Ding Wei for instructions with a smile.
"Let's go together, let's go together. Brother, I asked the kitchen to stew chicken soup for you. Drinking is not allowed in the army. Brother, I will use chicken soup instead of wine tonight and have a few big bowls with you!" Ding Wei also stood up immediately and said
He grabbed Han Qing's arm and extended the invitation with a smile. Not because he was twice as old as Han Qing and had a higher official position than Han Qing, he couldn't save face and call him brother.
Face is something that depends on who you follow whether you can wipe it off or not.
Officials in the Song Dynasty were divided into nine grades and eighteen grades. The seventh grade to the sixth grade was a hurdle, and the fourth grade to the third grade was a dragon gate.
He Ding said that although he held the title of Privy Council Bachelor, his official position was that of a fourth-grade transfer envoy, which was equivalent to having one foot inside the dragon gate and one foot outside the dragon gate. (Note: The official system of the Song Dynasty was extremely complicated. It depends on the details.
Actual assignment. Title can only be regarded as an honor.)
If he can jump over the dragon gate with both feet before the age of fifty, he will have the opportunity to become a political governor (deputy prime minister) or even a privy council official (prime minister) in his life.
If you can't make the leap before the age of fifty, even if you still have a chance after the age of fifty, you will at most be a Hanlin bachelor, which sounds extremely noble, but is actually just a decoration in front of the officials.
He Ding said that now there is no shortage of qualifications or connections, but only political achievements or military exploits.
In the past few months of cooperating with Han Qing, the political achievements and military exploits he gained were worth the sum of the previous five years.
Under such circumstances, he said that no matter how much he cares about his age, official position or reputation, he is just a stupid donkey!
"Thank you, Shuzhi!" Knowing Ding Wei's character, Han Qing was not polite to him and walked towards the back hall with him with a smile.
Of course, you can't just drink a bowl of chicken soup when you are in transit.
The two of them had just sat down as guests and hosts in the county government office hall. Soon, all kinds of fresh dishes were served by the servants like running water.
Ding Wei first invited Han Qing to taste several dishes that he thought were delicious. Then he ordered someone to bring chicken soup and while drinking, he discussed the situation at hand with him.
The day after Han Qing killed Yang Xingyan, Lu Ziming led the army to the gate of Ye County. Ding Wei decisively ordered the four gates to be closed. No matter how much the Chunyang believers clamored outside the city, they refused to go out to fight.
During this period, there were several waves of followers of the Chunyang Sect in the city, trying to create chaos and cooperating inside and outside. But helplessly, people's hearts were on the side of the government. The people hated the Chunyang Sect for colluding with human traffickers. Instead of listening to their deceptions, they actively helped Ding Wei.
The grain workers were sent down to capture the "accomplices of the traffickers".
As a result, Lu Ziming waited eagerly in the west of the city for three days and three nights, but did not wait for the church members in the city to open any of the city gates. Instead, he waited for the sad news that Yang Xingyan's entire army had been annihilated.
On the fourth day, he finally made up his mind to launch a strong attack on the county town. Unexpectedly, Han Qing had already entered the county town through the east gate with his elite and newly recruited 1,500 brothers.
Immediately, the war entered a stalemate stage.
The Chunyang Sect has a large number of troops, but lacks effective means of siege.
Han Qing's side had few soldiers, and the newly recruited brothers from the prisoners would not be able to form much combat effectiveness for a while.
The two sides were at odds with each other, and for a while, neither could do anything to the other.
During the day, Lu Ziming commanded the Chunyang disciples to launch round after round of attacks on the city head, but they were still unable to set foot on the city head.
At night, Han Qing personally led his troops to sneak attacks many times, but was surprised to find that Lu Ziming had learned the lesson of Yang Xingyan's defeat and death, and placed outposts one after another around his camp.
"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. Although it's only a hindsight, Brother Yu can understand the tricks you used to kill Yang Xingyan." Although he only drank chicken soup, Ding Wei's face quickly started to turn red.
The words that came out of his mouth also became casual, "I think back then, Gan Xing used this trick to rob Cao Ying with his hundreds of cavalry. Pei Zhu wrote it clearly in "The Biography of Jiang Biao"." (Note:
Pei Zhu, historian and writer of the Southern and Northern Dynasties)
"Shu Zhi has a keen eye like a torch." In his previous life, although Han Qing had not read any "Jiang Biao Biography", he had read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and knew that Ding Wei linked his last actions to the ancients, which was a disguised attempt to make a name for himself.
, so he immediately smiled and nodded.
"However, this time, Brother Yu can't see clearly. After you went to test Lu Ziming in the middle of the night, you immediately arranged for Wu You and others to take turns to feign attacks. What exactly is this trick?" Ding said that he offered chicken soup instead of wine and gave Han Qing a toast.
He continued with a smile and said, "If it is convenient for you, you might as well reveal something to Brother Yu. There will be no eyes and ears of the Chunyang Sect in the back hall. After Brother Yu has a clear idea, I can do my best to provide convenience for you!"
