After Zhao Ye took out Zhao Huan's will, he couldn't help but sigh, and he admired his Majesty in his heart.
He is an official tumbler in the Song Dynasty. He has done one thing in his life, which is not to offend anyone, and he does not want to offend anyone.
At that time, Cai Jing and Wang Fu successively took charge of the power of the Song Dynasty, cultivated each other's cronies, and then colluded with courtiers to fight for power and profit. The civil and military officials of the dynasty wanted to gain a foothold in the court, and either had the surname Wang or Cai.
Or just like Li Gang, my surname is your uncle.
And Zhao Ye is a very special person here. He can't offend anyone, and he gets along very well...
He was a Jinshi in the second year of his reign and came from an orthodox imperial examination. Over the years, he successively served as a censor, a censor, a censor in the palace, a member of the imperial examination room and the prince's family, a member of the Russian Qianzhong Shushe, a minister in charge of Shizhong, and a member of the Dashe family. Sicheng.
Until now, he has become Shangshu Zuocheng and a famous figure in the court.
No matter who was in power for so many years, he, Zhao Ye, had prospered. In Zhao Ji's ears, both Wang Fu and Cai Jing praised him highly, and even recommended him for promotion.
If it were just like this, Zhao Huan would be nothing more than a manipulative minister to him.
But his reputation is also very good, and among the people, he is still a good official.
In the eyes of his colleagues, although he is not an honest official, he never does evil things and has no excuses.
Good popularity, no bad words, just like this, Zhao Huandu once thought that Zhao Yeye was in the wrong generation. This guy was the real panacea, he could eat well anywhere, could do any job, and he wouldn't do any bad things.
For example, Zhao Ye met Zhong Shizhong on the battlefield.
Yes, this guy even led troops!
Historically, Han Shizhong once worked under him, and he spoke highly of him, and he also placed great emphasis on Han Shizhong.
At this time, Zhao Yizhi also admired Zhao Huan very much. In his opinion, although Zhao Ding's strategy was ruthless and decisive at this time, this strategy was the most appropriate.
It is also the best result for Zhao Huan.
But he didn't do that. He chose another method.
"His Majesty has ordered that Han Shizhong be transferred to be the commander of the capital, and that he should serve under Wang Yuan as a general, with Zhao Ye as the supervisor, to quell the rebellions in various parts of Shandong.
With Zhong Shizhong as the commander-in-chief of the Hedong Road, Zhe Yanzhi as the deputy commander, and the commander-in-chief Yao Gu, Liu Shiguang and others as generals, they must stick to the Hedong Road and find a way to rescue Zhe Keqiu and Taiyuan Wang Zhen.
But don't fight to the end. If necessary... you can give up the road and let the Jin soldiers approach Kaifeng City! "
At the same time, Wang Yuan, who was rescuing Hebei Road, also received orders from Zhao Huan, this time from Hu Yin himself.
"With Wang Yuan as the governor of Shandong, the commander-in-chief Han Shizhong and the supervisor Zhao Ye sent troops to Shandong to quell the war and chaos in Shandong, and to receive the arrival of King Qin's army and supplies."
In addition, another large army on Hedong Road also received orders, that is, Liu Yanqing, a veteran of the Western Army.
It was the guy who burned down the centuries-old foundation of the Song Dynasty before the enemy arrived. The entire Song Dynasty was now stretched thin, and Zhao Huan wanted to be scratched alive day and night.
However, the order he received at this time was to be transferred from Hedong Road to Hebei Road.
"Your Majesty has ordered General Liu Yanqing to go to Hebei Road now, transport grain and fodder into General Zongze's camp on Hebei Road, and at the same time, guide the people to Kaifeng and other safe places."
Regarding Liu Yanqing... Hu Yin looked very painful.
He thought of what his Majesty said when he entrusted this decree to him.
"Liu Yanqing is a man who succeeds more than he fails. He was born as a general and relied on the service of his subordinates to be able to become a commander in town. As a result, he lost his ability as soon as Han Shizhong left.
Qualifications cannot be reused.
However, he had many soldiers and horses under his command, including the general manager of Yanyan Road in the town, the military governors of Taining Army and Baoxin Army, and he had been in charge of Yanzhou and Luzhou for many years.
If I just abandon it, I'm afraid something big will happen. At this opportunity, I still have to plan for it slowly.
If Wang Yuan is transferred from Hebei Road and cooperates with Han Shizhong to do big things, Hebei Road will be short of reinforcements. Let Liu Yanqing step in and bring many people from Hebei Road back to Kaifeng to reduce the pressure on Zongze. "
This was one of the orders. Hu Yin also calmed down after seeing Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi and his son agree.
"The reinforcements from Hebei Road were handed over to the general. A certain family had to go to Cizhou to find Marshal Zongze of Hebei Road to deliver the order, so they left."
When Liu Yanqing heard this, he quickly stepped forward.
"It just so happens that we are about to raise troops and go to Hebei Road, so I asked the general to escort the angel..."
"No need!" Before Liu Yanqing could finish his words, Hu Yin exclaimed and quickly refused.
Looking at Liu Yanqing's embarrassed expression, Hu Yin coughed lightly and then slightly cupped his hands, "I was a little distracted just now. This family's decree is very important and cannot be delayed. If you follow the army, although it is safe, it will inevitably slow down the speed. You can't. No."
Hu Yin's reasons at least convinced Liu Yanqing and others, and they finally succeeded in speeding towards Cizhou on Hebei Road.
"For God's sake, why are you still escorting me? Can you, my son and my son, escort me?" Hu Yin, who had already run away, couldn't help but start to spit, and began to curse to himself.
"A father and son, how could the Liu family be so troubled by you as a couple?
The father was timid before fighting, and burned all the food supplies of the Song Dynasty. The son was even more powerful. When he attacked Yanshan Mansion, he ignored the general's orders and traveled all the way to the battlefield.
It took four days to walk eighty miles. Are you a bastard? You walked so fast!
Poor general Gao Shixuan, who fought all his life for the Song Dynasty, died due to the negligence of his own people. If it weren't for Yao Shi Guo's quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have run away quickly.
The city of Yanjing is his burial place.
If I ask you to escort me, I might be sent somewhere. It would be safer to go by yourself! "
"If it weren't for the fact that your Liu family has nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in Taining Army and Baoxin Army under your command, and they are holding two key places in Luzhou and Yanzhou, they cannot move lightly.
I have already killed all of you. "
Seeing no one around, Hu Yin did not hide his disgust for the Liu family and his son. In his opinion, the Song Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of these generals.
Especially this kind of general who has no ability but can only occupy a high position.
In the Zongze Camp on Hebei Road, Hu Yin also went through many difficulties and dangers before he came here and met the Marshal of Hebei Marshal Mansion who was famous for a long time or perhaps had not been seen for a long time.
"What is your Majesty's will?"
"Now the imperial court has begun to raise military provisions and equipment. It will still take some time for soldiers, armor and equipment, but the first batch of provisions is already being prepared and will be delivered soon.
At the same time, His Majesty has asked Liu Yanqing from the Western Army to come and help the people return to Kaifeng.
Your Majesty said that Liu Yanqing succeeded more than he failed, and if he was allowed to take care of the people, it would be difficult for these people to return to Kaifeng and enter His Majesty's protection.
Your Majesty hopes that the general can take advantage of this matter! "
"Your Majesty...what do you mean?"
"The old general understands what His Majesty means, why do you need to ask so straightforwardly?"
"...It's too risky."
"This is their only chance of survival. The old general must be willing to give up!"
"....I...I accept your order!"
After Zongze finally agreed to the matter, he sighed deeply, feeling tired from the inside out.
In the land of Yanjing, the same war has just ended.
Today, the Yanshan Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty has been divided into two, and a large amount of land is once again occupied by the Jin people, while a small part of the territory defended by the Yanjing generation is still struggling to support it in the hands of Guo Yaoshi.
There was a big battle just now, where Wanyan Zongwang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Jin people on the right, led many soldiers and horses against Guo Yaoshi, the governor of the Yanshan Governor's Mansion.
Both sides have their own wins and losses.
The ever-victorious army under Guo Yaoshi's command was majestic and well-dressed. They fought with Wanyan Zongwang for more than 30 miles and suffered heavy casualties, but they did not let the Jin take any advantage.
After a great battle, the Jin commander Wanyan Zongwang could only retreat slowly to protect himself.
But Pharmacist Guo was not able to expand his results, because compared to his victorious army, Yue Fei almost lost his master here.
In the first battle, the Jin people encountered the elites of the Liao Kingdom who had surrendered to the Jin Kingdom. They were led by a Han Chinese, Han Qinghe!
The person who almost made Yue Fei suffer a big loss was Han Qinghe's son. Now among the Jin people, there is Han Chang, a fierce general known as Xiao Yang Youji.
A pair of three-stone fine iron bows were in his hands, and his shots were always on target. The armor on Song Jun's body seemed like a useless plaything in front of the arrows.
Yue Fei's time to integrate his troops was very short, and he could only barely stabilize their position. He had just begun to respect their military discipline and prevent them from causing trouble everywhere.
Now that the battle was going on, Han Chang fired dozens of arrows and was killed immediately after hearing the sound, which made the Song Dynasty's Western Army, which was already somewhat unworthy of the stage, almost be defeated and flee.
Fortunately, Yue Fei had already prepared and ordered Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others to form elite death warriors and immediately rush out to block the pursuing soldiers before these soldiers were about to collapse.
Yao Zheng, Wang Jing, Li Dao and others directly led the newly formed 800 military judges to stop the defeated soldiers on the road.
"I said before that if you retreat before the battle, you will all be killed!"
Yue Fei's face was gloomy. On this battlefield, he directly started a massacre of his soldiers.
Anyone who retreats without authorization will be dealt with immediately by military law. At this time, some soldiers even wanted to rebel on the spot and even surrender to the Jin people. Yue Fei personally rushed into the formation and killed them.
In a big battle, the Song army lost thousands of people in the fight with Han Qinghe, but Yue Fei alone had thousands or even nearly two thousand people who were defeated by military law.
This kind of killing directly shocked many people.
Although Yue Fei was unafraid to solve the problem in this battle, it also allowed the Jin commander Wanyan Zongwang to see the opportunity to destroy the Song army.
"Although the Song people have changed their commanders and re-employed Guo Yaoshi, the Song army has two negligences. As long as we make some use of it, we won't worry about them returning without a big defeat."
Wanyan Zongwang failed to win the battle, but suffered a slight blow, but at this time, his face was full of excitement, as if victory was right in front of his eyes.
"Please tell me, Commander-in-Chief, how we will win!" As a surrendered general, Han Qinghe was very sensible.
"First, the people of the Song Dynasty re-employed Guo Yaoshi, but I see that on the banner and on the city wall of Yanjing, Lu Yihao and others still have a very high status, which shows that they still want to emphasize culture and suppress military force.
This is a fatal flaw. The reason why the people of Song Dynasty emphasized culture and suppressed military force was not only the fear of repeating the wanton massacre of military generals in the past, but more importantly, their distrust of military personnel.
In addition, many generals of the Song Dynasty were shameless, and they were all as greedy for life and fear of death as rats crossing the street.
Guo Yaoshi was originally a surrendered general of the Liao Kingdom, and he was also a Han. Even if such a guy was reused, Lu Yihao and the Song court would not have much trust in him from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if he trusts him, he won't trust the victorious army under his command.
This is where they miss the mark.
Mother Wanyan, from today onwards you will personally take charge of the military law team. Anyone among my Dajin soldiers who takes advantage of this war to be disrespectful to the people will be killed.
We must let the people of this Yanjing generation recognize us!
Liu Yanzong, you personally planned to find a suitable woman, sneak into Yanjing, and publicly slander his close associates or generals under his command when necessary.
The man must be forced to death to intensify the conflict between the two parties!
Later, if you let people cause massacres and fall into the hands of the Song Dynasty and the Western Army, you should do it more falsely so that they can easily find out that this matter was framed by us. "
"The commander is so scheming!" Liu Yanzong clapped his hands violently at this time and couldn't help laughing, "First he forced Guo Yaoshi's victorious army, and then let go of Yue Fei's old Song soldiers from the Western Army.
By that time, it no longer matters whether Yue Fei's men are clean or not. The soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army will put all their resentment on their injustice.
When we arrived on the battlefield, the two soldiers distrusted each other and even resented each other. This must have given me and others many opportunities.
At the same time, we can take the opportunity to surrender Na Yao Shi and the Chang Sheng Army, and conquer the entire Yanshan Mansion in one battle. The commander is very clever! "
Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help stroking his beard and smiled, but after the smile passed, he coughed lightly and continued.
"This is just the first step. After that, we have to use a two-pronged approach. Since the Song people have such means, they cannot let the Song army grow.
This time, Yue Fei, who commanded the old soldiers of the Song Dynasty, was very capable, but he was hindered by the soldiers under his command.
Spread the news to them from today on. Anyone who dares to surrender to me will be rewarded with ten pieces of gold, a hectare of fertile land, and a Liao woman.
If anyone surrenders before the battle, the reward will be doubled!
If anyone surrenders with the heads of Song soldiers, the amount will be doubled again!
If anyone surrenders with the head of a Song general, the penalty will be ten times the amount! "
After Wanyan Zongwang finished speaking, he revealed a sinister smile and looked in the direction of Yan Jing as if looking at his distant opponent through the air.
"I want to see how you plan to resolve this situation!"
At this time, Yue Fei was also walking in the military camp. Looking at the tangled eyes of his soldiers, Wang Gui beside him was a little worried.
"Brother, the eyes of these people are wrong. I'm afraid that if they find an opportunity, they will roar..."
"The Xiao camp is all light. If they look like this and surrender before the battle, it will be an inevitable result. This army has been defeated by Liu Yanqing and Zhang Linghui."
"In this case, why do we still care for them? Why don't we abandon them? Doesn't General Guo want his eldest brother to command the 300,000 local warriors?
Although he is still a country warrior, he was born in the land of Yanyun after all. He is a real young man and has not been taught bad things. If we use them, it may be more convenient for us..."
"If this is the case, then Yanjing really cannot be defended. During this period, whether it was a field battle or an siege, although Lu Gong said nothing, he allowed Medicine Master Guo to do whatever he wanted.
But these eyes never left his body.
If we agree to this and give up the Western Army...then we will never be able to go back. "
"Brother, how long has this been? Why are you so worried? Don't they have any brains?"
"You have no brains when you say this. Why is Lu Gong so afraid? Is he afraid that Yaoshi Guo will turn against him and kill him with one strike? Then why does he still dare to fight on the city wall without fear of arrows?
This is Yanjing, and the Hebei Road is already very unstable. Now that Jin Wushu has taken a detour to Hedong and is facing Zongze, it is a question of when we can evacuate.
If Chang Shengjun and Guo Yaoshi surrender directly to the Jin people at this time...
The entire Hebei Road, and even the entire Song Dynasty, were finished! "
"he..."
"Are you really sure that he won't do it?"
"Then what should we do? We can't just sit back and wait for death and be dragged to death by these guys. This time, Han Qinghe is not a mediocre person. I think he has already seen the problem of us.
Once they start planning for us, we will be really dragged to death. "
"If that's the case, then a certain family really has to thank them."
At this moment, Yue Fei suddenly showed a long-lost smile, which made Wang Gui stunned for a moment.
