Just as the Zhao Guan family thought, the fact that Xiao Lin volunteered to go to Wuguan, coupled with Hu Yin's previous deeds, and perhaps the Zhao Guan family's seemingly joking statement about Fan Zhixu, "I would rather destroy the country than kill this man," is extremely
The great stimulation reached the civil servants in Xingzai, which greatly improved the efficiency of Xingzai.
Not only that, as Yang Yizhong went to recruit Niu Gao personally on the order of Zhao Guan's family, Yan Xiaozhong went to find the Zhai family, and many other people, such as censors, ministers, and heads of various ministries, also wrote letters asking for orders.
They each have to take risks to recruit the rebels all over the mountains and plains around Caizhou.
However, compared to Niu Gao's 100% harmlessness, the Zhai family had already colluded with Yan Xiaozhong, and the Zhao Guan family was a little uneasy about the enthusiasm of the others. They were afraid that the lives of these people would be in vain but would also frustrate people's hearts, so they hesitated for a while.
While hesitating, that night, Han Shizhong, who had been suppressing the rebellion in the west, suddenly rode back to Ruyang City alone, and asked for an interview all night, and then brought some brand-new, accurate, and subversive information to Zhao Guan's family.
Sexual military information and military advice.
"Does Wanyan have silver skills?" Zhao Jiu, who had not gotten up from the couch for half a quarter of an hour, was stunned for a long time in the back hall of Ruyang City Government Office before he realized what was going on. It was Yan Xiaozhong's accent that caused the problem.
He thought it was some ordinary Wanhu. "Nichuch...Yin Shuke, is it actually this person? The second-ranked general under Wanyan Nianhan, second only to Wanyan Loushi, captured the Liao Kingdom alive.
Emperor Tianzuo, the one left behind in Taiyuan now?"
"It is this person." Han Shizhong stood in the hall and faced each other with his hands crossed. "The official family, I heard Liu Yan say outside that the official family had the intention of gathering and annihilating this person, so they turned back immediately... With all due respect, this battle cannot be fought!
"
Hearing this, Zhao Guanjia's heart immediately sank, because Han Shizhong said it couldn't be fought, so it basically couldn't be fought.
However, Zhao Jiu is a qualified engineering dog after all, so he still has this good habit of asking: "Is it because I am good at using silver skills but I am good at using soldiers?"
"That's not a big deal." Han Shizhong looked disdainful when he heard this, and finally showed his usual attitude of not being afraid of anything. "If you really think about it, not to mention the silver skill, Wan Yan, Lou, and the ministers don't care.
In the eyes, it is a fact that his troops are elite and brave. Relatively speaking, it seems that there are many soldiers and horses in the army today, but the ones who can really fight are actually the soldiers and horses who besieged Wanyan Wushu's stronghold that day, but there are still fewer
Lieutenant Zhang’s three thousand veterans, as well as thousands of casualties and casualties..."
Zhao Guanjia sighed slightly when he heard this, but he immediately understood his rashness from a mathematical perspective.
"In addition, Dengzhou (Nanyang) is an open land, and the Jin Army's cavalry comes and goes like the wind, but we don't have large-scale cavalry to use." Han Shizhong finally seemed helpless when he said this. "According to the previous left-behind department in Tokyo,
According to the military intelligence passed on, Wanyan Yin Keshu's brother Wanyan Balisu should also have attracted ten thousand households. At this time, he was encircling Dazhai and Xiao Zhai in the Luoyang area of Xijing. If we and others are forced to fight, as long as Yin Shu can do something
Relying on the Nanyang Basin for a while, he can wait for the cavalry reinforcements sent by his brother from Xijing... At that time, the Jin army will rely on the strength of the cavalry to form a north-south pincer attack on the flat land of the Central Plains.
They will be defeated in a single battle."
At this point, Han Shizhong rarely showed a serious attitude: "Guan, how many cavalry do we have? The minister's Beiwei Army only has 800 cavalry, and Liu Yan's Chixin Army has 600 cavalry. They are just two fierce soldiers from the Jin Army... What should we follow?
Can you do silver magic?"
Hearing this, in the slightly hot late night, Zhao Jiu, who was sitting in the back hall, was completely silent, but he was actually seriously reflecting on himself... It was ridiculous that Zhao Guanjia had been admonished by Hu Yin before, and he realized that he was
Political arrogance, and even pretending to be self-critical, but in reality?
In fact, the aggressive mentality after the Shouzhou victory has not really changed.
Investigating the reason, there is actually only one reason, and that is that he, Zhao Jiu, is now a member of the official family... and the Zhao Guan family has always been a true one-man family, holding the core power openly and openly. In addition, it is wartime now, and through thousands of soldiers
His sacrifice was mixed with some so-called prestige, so no one could really supervise him at this time.
If you think about it carefully, from beginning to end, he was the only one who made mistakes in this hasty military plan.
if not?
The civil servants are very enthusiastic, but don't blame them. They are political creatures and will only follow the officials. And others don't know. Doesn't Zhao Jiu know the military level of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty?
From Li Gang to Fan Zhixu, from Yan Xiaozhong to Hu Yin, from Lu Haowen to Zhang Jun, no matter what their positions and moral levels are, these people do not deny that they are military waste... At the moment, Zong Zezong
Grandpa is simply the God of War among the civil servants of the Song Dynasty!
Zhao Jiu had known these things for a long time, but he actually mocked Fan Zhixu and followed Zhang Jun and others to pass an unrealistic military decision... The main force of the Jin Army's cavalry was invincible. This was Han Shizhong and him.
Is the fundamental reason why the Zhao Guan family chose to launch the campaign in Shouzhou in the first place?!
As for the military ministers, Han Shizhong, the only one who could be relied on, was so arrogant before, didn't he come back overnight to give advice? Even Liu Yan was obviously aware of the adventure planned by Zhao Guan's family, but this person had always been slow to speak, and
He just came back and didn't dare to dissuade him, so he chose to go to Wuguan to see Han Shizhong and let this person who could persuade him to persuade Zhao Jiu come back.
Forcing a loyal minister to do this shows that the Zhao Guan family really needs to reflect deeply.
When Zhao Jiu reflected on it, he found that he seemed to have been a bit 'frivolous and aggressive' since he left Shouzhou, and became increasingly arrogant... If nothing else, the newcomers such as Feng Yi and other flattering servants were carefully serving him, and the bureaucracy was becoming increasingly large.
The systematic flattery is too obvious...it is obvious that someone has lost their revolutionary vigilance!
Of course, back in front of me, it was too dark, so Zhao Guanjia lit a candle and sat there expressionlessly. It didn't look like he was introspecting at all, but rather like he was sulking. This had already made Han Shizhong and Tang Zhongwei angry.
One by one, the attendants Feng Yi became uneasy... Even Feng Yi, the guard in charge of the internal affairs department, began to wink at Han Shizhong, as if he wanted Han Shizhong to comfort the official.
And Han Shizhong stared at the official family without saying a word for a long time, thinking about how to comfort him so as to save some face for the official family... But Han Liangchen thought about it, but he couldn't think of any reason at all, because Wanyan Yinshu was really good at the moment.
He couldn't fight, and he would be defeated ten times after fighting. He, Han Wu, was so favored by Zhao Guan's family, and he couldn't let the official family's little wealth and prestige, which they had worked so hard to accumulate, go to waste.
"I was wrong." I don't know how long it had passed before Zhao Jiucai suddenly sighed. "But good minister, you are my backbone. Today you have to show me the truth... If you can't master the Wanyan Silver Technique, Deng
Isn’t it true that the state is not protected? Tens of thousands of troops have come together. Do you think they can swallow up the capital that has not yet fallen? There is one thing you may not know. According to Yan Xiaozhong, the magistrate of Tangzhou, the transfer to the west of Beijing
Liu Ji has been working hard to raise money these days. Many warehouses and craftsmen in Sichuan, Sichuan and western Beijing have been gathered in Nanyang City. If this is lost, and then the city is burned down by Wanyan Yinshuke, wouldn't we have to
Then turn around and go to Yangzhou?"
"Good instructors know." Han Shizhong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then became proud. "I just said that we have few cavalry and few elite soldiers, so we can't take the initiative to fight Yin Shuke in the field, but it doesn't mean that we can't force Wan Yan Yin Shu away.
Damn! It’s not like we can’t defend Nanyang!”
Zhao Jiu's heart skipped a beat: "How to fight?"
"The official family." Han Shizhong said frankly. "There is no need to fight. There are only two things to do now... one is to alert the snake and make a big noise so as to tell Yin Shuke that our army has arrived; the other is to alert Yin Shuke.
It is to quickly seize and surrender the key cities of Ruzhou, Caizhou, Tangzhou, and Yingchang Prefecture! Of course, Wuguan is also very important, so after hearing what Liu Yan said, I still urged him to go to Wuguan quickly..."
Zhao Jiu was thoughtful, but he immediately realized: "Is this a trick to force him to return?"
"It's not a pretense." In the dark hall, Han Shizhong's eyes were like lightning and his mouth was ferocious. "It was just a last resort to protect Dengzhou. Otherwise, if he really dared to sit back and watch as the ministers occupied these dozen cities on the Northeast Passage of Nanyang
, just wait and die in Nanyang. But Yin Keshu is an experienced soldier, and he is definitely not a stupid person like Wanyan Wushu who just entered the battle, so I believe that he will take the initiative to give up his words.
, Return to the army immediately! And if so..." At this point, Han Shizhong was a little more careful. "As long as Yin Shu can retreat, the Jingxi side can say that he is defeated."
This is lying about military achievements for political propaganda.
However, considering that he could save Dengzhou and force this person to retreat, Zhao Jiu, who calmed down, was able to accept it.
So, he nodded slowly, and then asked seriously: "So, what is the key to this battle?"
"Hurry!" Han Shizhong said resolutely. "If you are a little slow, either Nanyang will fall, or Yin Shu will seize Tangzhou and Ruzhou, and in turn dominate the army."
Zhao Jiu nodded heavily again.
There was no need to say much all night. The next morning, the Zhao family, who had just made a big plan yesterday, seemed to have not lost their interest, but they gathered the officials early in the morning to discuss the war.
In this regard, the ministers who were shocked by a certain special atmosphere seemed to be very cooperative.
"It's like this. Didn't many ministers and ministers come here yesterday and propose themselves, saying that they want to recruit the rebels and bandits from all over Caizhou?" Zhao Guan's family got straight to the point. "But I thought about it last night and felt that I still can't be defeated.
Your dynamism... So today I want to tell you that I have agreed to everything you asked for yesterday!"
Among the many officials in the hall, except for a few self-reliant husbands and a red-robed official who seemed to remain calm, the rest of them were very happy.
Not only that, everyone saw that although Zhao Guanjia looked calm and spoke smoothly, his eyes were red and his voice was slightly trembling. It seemed that he had not had a proper rest last night and was a little angry... As a result, many people were already secretly considering whether to fight.
Later, several concubines were selected for the official family.
However, now that we are about to fight, some things are better left on hold for now.
Of course, Zhao Guanjia, who looks calm on the outside but nervous and helpless on the inside, doesn't know what these people are thinking. He probably doesn't care if he knows, because he doesn't have that much time to think about it right now.
"It's not just that, as far as I know." Zhao Guanjia looked relaxed and continued to talk, but secretly gritted his teeth in his heart. "While traveling westward from Shouzhou, there have been many officials accompanying them recently, so I have to give them to them.
An opportunity. But right now, the towns in Tangzhou, Ruzhou, and the south of Yingchang Prefecture have been basically vacant since Na Yin...Nani Chuhe passed there. Most of them are occupied by bandits and rebels, and only a few are still in office.
In the hands of the army... In this case, why not let these people go farther and go to the states in the west of Beijing to recruit and pacify them together? It is also possible to let these people settle on the spot, and by the way, Han Shizhong can lead an army of 50,000 to Nanyang to surround and kill Nichu.
How about a few thousand soldiers as a backup?!"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Jiu looked around the hall, and sure enough he saw that everyone including several husband-in-laws had some thoughts... After all, who didn't have a close relative, a close friend from the same school, and a close friend who followed him all the way?
?
As for the only red-robed official who didn't show any joy before, it was the imperial censor Zhongcheng Zhang Jun. Hearing this, he wanted to speak for a while, but he didn't dare to speak for a while.
Seeing that no one objected, and several people jumped out to express their approval, the matter was passed without any issues.
According to the discussion between Zhao Guan's family and several Xianggong, Lu Xianggong took charge of the matter and quickly assigned it to them according to their rank. Whoever pacified and pacified which city could be the corresponding magistrate;
Corresponding credit; and whoever can pacify Xiaxiangcheng, Wuyang, Yancheng, and Fangcheng, the four big cities on the northeast passage of Nanyang, will have the right to dispatch Junzhou!
Therefore, the morning meeting dispersed in a hurry, and almost everyone in the city of Ruyang was cheering.
However, at this moment, Zhang Jun, the number one confidant of Zhao Guan's family and the imperial censor Zhongcheng, came back and took the initiative to see the officials... This was a very bold move as the number of people in the industry was increasing day by day.
However, Zhao Jiu had no reason to refuse.
"I risk my life to ask the officials to take back my orders and stop asking for the annihilation of the enemy in Nanyang!" As soon as Zhang Junfu saw Zhao Guan's family in the back hall, although he did not imitate those military ministers who knelt down with a plop, his gesture and words of immediately bowing his head were extremely
Similar. "Nanyang is a flat river, and the Jin cavalry is everywhere. Our army may not be able to win quickly. If we cannot win quickly, Xijing is still in the enemy's hands. I am afraid that there will be a large number of reinforcements. By then, the Jin cavalry will attack from the north and south. Our army is afraid that
If you want to lose to... the officials, I made a big mistake yesterday, and I still ask the officials to punish me!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting motionless in the back hall, was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Deyuan, did you bribe Feng Yi, or did Han Shizhong not forget to inform you when he left last night?"
Zhang Jun looked up in astonishment and was momentarily panicked.
ps: I'm a little stuck, mainly because I recently read the section about Song Dynasty and the West of Beijing, which was really confusing... I'm very sorry, there are only 4,000 words today.
