Because of Su Yonglin's large-scale anti-corruption and actual revolutionary actions in Guandong, the political turmoil it generated also caused ripples in Guanzhong.
Zhang Zhongyan and others were worried and decided to jump up and decide their own destiny.
However, since they chose the Ming Dynasty, they had no chance to make the decision. Their actions were just digging holes for them.
Su Haisheng already knew about their actions, so according to what Su Yonglin said, the news was sent directly to the officers and instructors of the troops that needed to be mobilized through secret channels, and he asked them to lead the troops on a night march and secretly arrive at the designated location.
The Ming army began to take action, and the fourth action group also began to take action, but Zhang Zhongyan and Zhang Fu did not know their actions.
The two father and son are still jumping up and down in an effort to control their own destiny.
Zhang Fu wrote several letters to his friends who were officials, telling them the news he knew and selling anxiety to them.
He said that the emperor went on a killing spree in Shandong and Henan, and many people in the imperial court were killed. We may not have done what these people did. Seeing that the emperor was about to attack Guanzhong, should we just surrender?
All kinds of words inadvertently contributed to their anxiety. These officials who were themselves dirty became anxious instantly, and then they were invited to Ningzhou to meet secretly, and everyone gathered together to discuss it.
Zhang Zhongyan did the same. He wrote to a few friends he knew who were still in officialdom, telling them what happened in Kanto and selling anxiety to them.
When they became anxious and asked him for advice, he vaguely revealed some of his plans and invited them to meet in secret at his home to discuss it.
The two father and son made full use of their connections, called all their good friends who could still be used in the Guanzhong area, and held secret discussions with them.
At the same time, Wu Lin did not know what happened in Guanzhong.
He only knew that Zhang Fu wrote another letter telling him that his action was very risky and he would not have much time. There would be no such store after passing this village. He hoped that he would seize the opportunity.
Wu Lin didn't want to seize the opportunity, but this opportunity was really difficult to seize.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the issue of military strength is very embarrassing.
Yao Zhong had just been transferred, and one of the three main armies in the Sichuan-Sichuan War Zone was missing. Wu Lin and Wang Yan combined had only more than 60,000 troops. These 60,000-plus troops, excluding those necessary for defense, could be used for maneuvering. , the total cost is less than 40,000.
Less than 40,000 troops were used to attack Guanzhong?
Unless they can get the permission of the imperial court and the help of the Sichuan Envoys Department to temporarily gather some troops to take over their defense, they can then attack with all their strength.
So Wu Lin immediately went to find Wang Yan and Sichuan envoy Wang Yingchen.
Wang Yan is easy to talk to. Of course he will be happy if he can get credit for fighting in battles.
But Wang Yingchen had a lot to think about. After reading Zhang Fu's two letters, he felt very hesitant.
"The father of this man is Zhang Zhongyan, the Taiwei of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Zhongyan was once a minister of our Song Dynasty, and later became a minister of the Jin Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom. Can you trust a slave with three surnames? Could it be? What kind of conspiracy?"
Wu Lin nodded.
"Although Zhang Zhongyan is a slave of the third surname and cannot be trusted, his situation is very bad. He is a surrendered minister. Su Yonglin launched an anti-corruption campaign in Guandong and killed many people. Now Guanzhong may be his next target, and Guanzhong is a corrupt official. There may be more officials. These people are worried about being killed by Su Yonglin and are eager to find a way out.
The best way out for them is to go south to Shu, so I think it is impossible for them to engage in any conspiracy. Even if they want to engage in some conspiracy, they don't need to be so anxious. They sent me two letters in a short period of time, urging me to reply to them. , showing the urgency of the mood. "
Wu Lin's analysis is still meaningful. With this relationship involved, Wang Yingchen feels that this should be a very possible option.
"Although it is a very good opportunity, the stakes are so high that even I cannot make a decision. I can only wait for the court's permission."
When Wu Lin heard this, she was a little anxious.
"We are thousands of miles away from the imperial court. We will wait until the imperial court's reply arrives before taking action. It may already be too late and the fighter plane has been delayed."
"It is precisely because of the distance that we must listen to the court."
Wang Yingchen looked at Wu Lin and whispered: "General Wu, you are a famous general in the country and have deep qualifications. There is no general in the Song Dynasty who is more senior than you. You should respect yourself, cherish your feathers, and never make any losses." This is what I will say about the matters that the imperial court trusts."
Wu Lin was speechless, and finally shook her head helplessly and sighed.
"I don't understand this truth. It's been like this for so many years. I've been careful not to overstep it, but this opportunity is really... It's really hard to get another chance!"
Wang Yingchen hesitated for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
"No matter what, you must listen to the imperial court. Without the imperial court's orders, Sichuan and Shu cannot take any action. For us, the imperial court's trust is more important than winning the war."
Wu Lin understood this truth, so he gave up persuasion and gave up this opportunity.
When leaving, Wu Lin said to Wang Yan beside him: "I have a feeling that if we miss this opportunity, we may never be able to return to our hometown in Guanzhong."
Wang Yan was also quite helpless.
"Why am I not? But Wang Yingchen is right. We are military generals, or border generals. We hold power, and we must be cautious and cautious. We must not do anything that damages the trust of the court. Otherwise, the gain is not worth the loss. We can learn from the past and serve as a guide for future generations."
Wu Lin said nothing more.
After returning to the station, he wrote a letter back to Zhang Fu.
They didn't say anything, but told Zhang Fu that they were now waiting for a reply from the Lin'an court. If the Lin'an court allowed their actions, they would take action immediately.
This letter was also intercepted by the Skynet Army. The Skynet Army successfully bribed Zhang Fu's cronies who delivered and received letters, and captured his wife, children, and children as threats, and asked this crony to serve the Skynet Army. The effect was very good. .
After learning the content of Wu Lin's reply, Xu Xuan told Su Haisheng, who was fully responsible for the matter, and discussed it with him, and then the two decided to slightly modify the letter.
What Wu Lin actually meant was to let Zhang Fu and Zhang Zhongyan try their luck and character. If they had good luck and good character, of course everything would be fine. But if they had bad luck and bad character, the Lin'an court would deny the matter, so they would just You will be blessed if you can ask for yourself.
But after discussing with Xu Xuan, Su Haisheng felt that they should give Zhang Fu and Zhang Zhongyan some hope, which might encourage them to jump higher.
So the content of the reply was slightly modified, and it became that the Sichuan-Shu War Zone was very excited about this plan and was preparing for action. As soon as the Lin'an court responded with permission, they would take action immediately to conquer Guanzhong, and their help would be needed.
Of course, anyone who provides help will be generously rewarded by the Song Dynasty and will definitely get a high position. This can be guaranteed.
"I hope they can contact more people after receiving the letter, so that they can catch all the traitors in one fell swoop."
Xu Xuan said with a smile.
Su Haisheng thought more.
"Actually, I hope Wu Lin can personally lead the attack, so that we can have the opportunity to attack Sichuan and Shu in one go."
Su Haisheng had a beautiful idea, but judging from the reality, this was very unlikely to happen.
He himself had expected it, so he could only be secretly angry and hoped that the new emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty would be able to make a big splash and rise to prominence.
But it is a pity that the Southern Song Dynasty court is no longer in charge of the radical war faction.
The Southern Song Dynasty court had successfully switched to a stable and conservative government, so it was impossible for Shi Hao to agree to things that Zhang Jun might agree to.
