This hint was straightforward enough. He just pressed Han Qing's neck and told him to lie down on Jingdong East Road and never covet the high power of Kaifeng Prefecture's Nansi Shiyuan (Southern Court Judge), so he accepted it.
Zhao Heng’s imperial edict.
When Han Qing was investigating the Red Lotus Sect case, he felt that there was a big whirlpool in Bianliang City. How could he take the initiative to get closer?
Therefore, after hearing the words of his grandfather Han Chonggui, he immediately smiled and handed over his hands, "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson knows how much he weighs. The judge of the South Courtyard, Wang Shu, was born as a champion, how can my grandson have the ability to take over his stall?"
"It's good that you know!" Han Chonggui smiled and stroked his beard when he saw his grandson showing off. He was about to give a few more instructions on how to write a memorial to express his gratitude in a beautiful way, when suddenly a middle-aged man's face appeared from behind him.
figure.
The visitor smiled and held up his hand to Han Qing, while saying loudly: "Jiajun's words are serious. Your ability is ten times that of Brother Yu. How can you not accept the job of being a judge of the South Courtyard?"
"Judge Wang, why are you here? Over there at Kaifeng Mansion..." He had just talked to Wang Shu about something, but was caught by the other party. Han Qing suddenly felt embarrassed, blushing and exclaimed in a low voice.
"Thanks to Jiajun, Wang has made several contributions recently, so he was promoted to Tongfeng doctor by official decree and sentenced to be the transshipment director of Jingdong East Road." Wang Shu raised his hand again and replied with a smile, "
So, along the way, I also took over the task of announcing the decree to Old General Han and you."
"Declare the decree and give it to my grandfather? Hasn't he been serving as an official for many years?" After hearing this, Han Qing's embarrassment was quickly replaced by doubt.
"When the Liao army invaded, all the veteran generals who had participated in two battles against the Liao were summoned out of the mountains to serve the country." Wang Shu did not hide anything, sighed, and explained in a low voice, "Not only General Han, but also the prison guards
General Gao Chugong, Tongping Zhang Shi Shi Baoji, Privy Councilor Liu Baozhong and other twelve veterans who participated in the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom are all being recalled. It just so happens that my grandfather was entrusted by Ding Wei and you not long ago.
Situated in Dengzhou. Therefore, it is even less likely to be left behind."
"When the country is in trouble, it is natural for me to go into battle. Even if there is no official decree, I will take the initiative to volunteer." Lest Han Qing think that he was dragging him down, Han Chonggui smiled beside him and expressed his position loudly.
It was okay if he didn't say it, but when he did, Han Qing felt even more uncomfortable.
At the age of my grandfather, no matter which dynasty or generation he was in, he should be in his old age. However, for his own sake, he came out of the mountain again and blew the sea breeze every day in Dengzhou.
If there was no such thing as sitting in Dengzhou, even if his grandfather received the imperial edict, he might have declined the call from the imperial court on the grounds of "old age and frailty." But after this thing, his age and physical condition would have made it impossible to
Become a reason to decline!
"Based on the situation of the war, the imperial court set up five camps. The first and second roads were Zhending and Hejian camps. The military and horse supervisors were Yang Si and Yang Yanzhao. The third road was Hebei camp, stationed in Chanzhou, and the soldiers and horses were stationed in Chanzhou.
The governor is Li Jilong. The fourth route is the camp in Henan. Among all the old generals recalled by the imperial court, Ling's grandfather has the longest seniority. Therefore, after discussing with Prime Minister Kou, Prime Minister Wang and Prime Minister Bi, Ling's grandfather was specially appointed as the governor.
The commander of the army and horses of the Henan camp, along with the other veterans, are stationed in Yanggu City on the East and West Road of Beijing!"
"Ah?" Han Qing was stunned again and blurted out his questioning words, "Where are the soldiers and horses? You can't let my grandfather and a group of gray-haired old generals go to the battlefield with their generals and servants?"
Gao Chugong was the son of the founding general Gao Huaide, Tongping Zhangshi Shi Baoji's father was the founding general Shi Shouxin, and Liu Baozhong's father was Liu Shouzhong, Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brother.
Among these people, the youngest is only sixty-two years old, and his mental and physical strength is definitely far inferior to that of the younger generation of generals. However, their combat experience is rich enough. With their help in making suggestions, my grandfather should not be strategically challenged.
The enemy will take any advantage and leave.
However, the Song Dynasty was capable and courageous, and there were only a few soldiers and horses to fight head-on with the Liao army. The imperial court sent out five major camps in one go, and those who stayed in the Henan camp were probably not elite.
Just a group of old men with white beards and not enough elite soldiers, no matter how clever the strategic arrangement is, how can they withstand the Liao army's reckless attack?
"The soldiers and horses are based on the security forces in the Forbidden Army. The east and west routes in Jingdong, the two routes in Huainan, and the generation of Xiang soldiers from Gyeonggi will gather in Yanggu in the near future. The quota is 50,000, the military pay will be allocated from Fengzhuangyin, and the food and grass will be nearby
It is supported by Changpingcang in Nanjing (Shangqiu)." Wang Shu is worthy of being the number one scholar. He has an amazing memory and reported the court's arrangements without thinking.
The Fengzhuangyin was set up by the two emperors Taizu and Taizong of the Song Dynasty specifically to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. The Song army flattened the south of the Yangtze River and emptied the treasury of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Most of the valuables in it were eventually turned into the Fengzhuangyin.
.
The Changpingcang in Nanjing (Shangqiu) was used throughout the Song Dynasty to prepare for famine, and the rice grains inside were piled up like mountains.
With the money and food accumulated in these two places, the Henan camp does not have to worry about supplies. It is a pity that the combat effectiveness of the Security Army is at the bottom among the Forbidden Army. Coupled with the patchwork of the Xiang Army, it is said that it is a group
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a mob.
"You can rest assured that the Xiang troops you brought out on Jingdong East Road are not much worse than the Forbidden Army. In terms of morale, they may even be higher." Knowing what his grandson was worried about, Han Chonggui interrupted with a smile.
, "What's more, the south of the Yellow River is not the main battlefield facing the Liao army after all. When the main force of the Liao army really crosses the Yellow River, I am afraid that all soldiers and horses from all over the Song Dynasty will rush to Bianliang King Qin. By then,
, I don’t have to worry about not having any elites under my command!”
"Well!" Understanding that his grandfather was right, Han Qing nodded vigorously. Then he frowned again and asked Wang Shu in a low voice, "What about the fifth line camp? Where is the fifth line camp located? Who will command it?
.”
He originally planned to ask about the location of the fifth camp and the name of the leading commander, so that he could promote this battalion in the future and echo the Henan camp commanded by his grandfather. Unexpectedly, after the words fell, Wang Shu immediately looked around and talked about him.
, "The fifth line of camp, when I left Bianliang, the decision should not have been finalized. This time I am the transfer envoy to take over Chen Yaozi's position. He and Ding Wei will be ordered to return to Bianliang in the near future."
"Both of them are leaving?" Hearing too much shocking news in a short period of time, Han Qing was so surprised that he was a little numb. He frowned and continued to ask, "Then you have to support the entire Jingdong East Road by yourself?
"
According to the official rules of the Song Dynasty, in peacetime, the economic and strategic pacification envoys can be led remotely. However, when the economic and strategic pacification envoys are far away in Bianliang, most of their responsibilities must be borne by the transport envoys.
Therefore, Wang Shu's arrival is equivalent to one person shouldering the two duties of economic and strategic pacification envoy and transshipment envoy, and his power is directly comparable to that of the Jiedushi envoy in the Tang Dynasty.
But, how can it be called a time of peace now?
Ding Wei and Chen Yaozi were transferred back to Bianliang, and their grandfather was ordered to go to Yanggu to set up the Henan camp. The Xiang army troops and horses would also be mobilized. In case the Liao army detoured and attacked, or the local powerful suddenly rebelled.
The consequences of responding to the Liao Kingdom would be disastrous.
"In a short period of time, I should be the only one. The court should send officials over one after another. The specific time is uncertain." Wang Shu smiled and sighed tiredly, "So, if Han Tixing can ask the officials
I reported to my family that I resigned from the Kaifeng Prefecture Nansi Envoy and stayed on Jingdong East Road, which Wang really wanted!"
In the Song Dynasty, it was not uncommon for civil servants to be responsible for delivering imperial edicts. However, it was probably the first time that the civil servants who delivered the edict did not deliver the imperial edict to the target, but first persuaded the target not to accept the edict!
Therefore, Han Qing burst out laughing when he heard this, "It turns out that Brother Wang had this idea. No wonder he looked for Han everywhere as soon as he arrived at Jingdong East Road. Anyway, since Brother Wang sincerely invited him, Han will stay.
"
"Jiajun, don't be too busy making decisions. Listen to what I have to say." Wang Shu suddenly became a mother-in-law. He looked left and right again to make sure there were no outsiders around, and then added in a very low voice, "Kou Xiang also wrote
Let me give you a letter in private. He warned that no matter what your plan is, you must make the final decision after reading his letter!"
