Chapter 3 Dragon Snake

Before Ding Jin, a thief in Huaixi, was found to commit suicide with a knife while using the opportunity to go to the toilet, the imperial censor Hu Yin and Hu Mingzhong had many identities. For example, he was one of the youngest civil officials who had a good knowledge, a clean background, and had a good future. For example, he was also the most intense anti-Jin faction, and always liked to propose the most radical anti-Jin plan at the most inappropriate time. For example, he was the common life-and-death relationship between Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding, and his old brother, who were considered to be the adhesive for the two upstarts who were now vaguely apart.

Even if Zhao Guanjia appointed this person, to be fair, he was somewhat interested in his conspicuous political stance... Just think about it, when someone tried to soften his anti-Jin stance and tried to save the country in a curve, he took this person out and welcomed the Two Saints back, crossed the Hebei and fought north, and was the ruler of the king and father. Who could withstand it? Who dared to speak?

To put it bluntly, he used to be a tool person and add other people's political accessories, and at most a potential stock.

However, after Ding Jin was dug a hole and buried, the name Hu Yin was no longer annotated with others and some position. Hu Mingzhong became famous one day, the former censor, the current minister of the East Palace, and Xu Jingheng praised him as the "true censor" at that time.

Even the official family that everyone knows is well-known. After hesitatingly avoiding a sarcasm, he also came to Zhugao Town the next day and officially issued a series of decrees:

One of them took off Zhang Jun's purple robe and changed from the Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Censor Central Cens

Second, Hu Yin officially replaced Zhang Jun, specially cleaned up Han Shizhong's army's disturbances along the way, and took charge of military discipline;

Three of them took advantage of the above two things to formally admit the mistakes of the Zhao official family, admitting that he was too generous to some heroes, and ignoring the court system, and using this to warn the superiors and subordinates to be arrogant and impetuous...

After the decree was issued, everyone knew that Hu Yin's impeachment yesterday had a realistic effect.

But that didn't count. After the journey was continuing west for two days, he came to the bank of the Huai River in the north of Dingcheng, the capital of Guangzhou, and gathered three generals Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and Liu Yan. After meeting Yuwen Xuzhong, Zhao Guanjia formally summoned all four ministers, two east and two west, specifically discussing the issue of selecting talents to organize the court.

Under the suggestion of the four ministers, the Zhao official family made a little modification and finally issued a series of new decrees... However, in the name of current difficulties and national crisis, they required that all localities not take into account their origins and elect talents.

Among them, each military prefecture in Guanxi, Southeast, Jingxiang, Jingdong, and Bashu promoted one civil and military personnel with special performance in the national crisis. However, each of them was left behind and ordered envoys to recommend ten additional people; because the two Huai and Jingxi were approaching, they were allowed to promote another military personnel with integrity in each county.

This so-called righteous man is naturally the most concerned thing about the Zhao official family, and it is also the private goods he forcibly stuffed into.

After these people arrived at Nanyang's accompanying capital, they would conduct a small-scale teaching examination for civil and military personnel to supplement the talents of the capital. Of course, Zhao Jiu did not have the ability to correct the problem of the civil and military division system.

In addition, the Zhao official family also issued another order, giving Li Gang the same cheap human rights as the frontline Zong Ze, which allowed Li Xianggong to temporarily appoint high-ranking officials with a vacancies in the southeast, and only after reporting and discussing it later... However, correspondingly speaking, Li Gang's confidant Lin Qi was changed from the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Revenue.

Back in front of me, after this incident, the great name of Censor Hu Yu Xing was once again raised. Everyone knew that the profound meaning of the Censor's impeachment that day had reached, and that this person had the ability to promote major political affairs.

However, not to mention how Censor Hu is becoming more and more famous, the Zhao official family still has to continue traveling westward.

At the end of February, I arrived at the foot of Guangshan, the west side of the Guangzhou section of the Huaihe River. Because the Huai River was too shallow and narrow, I officially abandoned the water and land and marched along the northern bank of Caizhou... At this time, news came that a mutiny occurred in Jianzhou (Jian in Fujian), so it was precisely because the two generals Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp, and the deputy commander-in-chief, who led the troops to the southeast and assisted Li Gang in maintaining the security of the southeast in the name of guarding the empress dowager.

After the two generals left, they had not left Caizhou for three days. Before leaving Caizhou, Han Shizhong and Wang De began to encounter various armed forces and began to fight on a large scale. On the first day of March, Ruyang, the capital of Caizhou, was recovered. He used this as a base and Han Shizhong and Wang De as a general to recruit the rebels here to eliminate the rebels in order to open up the so-called marching land.

It was at this time that Xingzai got a series of definite news from the rebel army and the envoys sent by Zongze, which said that the large-scale southward movement of the Jin army last winter was like Talan and Wushu, who led the Eastern Route Army basically swept away the fallen leaves, and the Western Route Army controlled by Nianhan also caused extremely serious consequences.

Although I had expected this, and even a lot of inaccurate news came in Bagong Mountain, after hearing these messages and seeing the rebels and bandits all over Caizhou, they were still shocked and serious:

The city of Luoyang in Xijing was broken and was robbed by the Jin army and set fire to death.

Chang'an, which was previously regarded as the best choice for the capital, also fell early, but because he was besieged for more than ten days, he encountered an earthquake and betrayal at the same time... The defector was not someone else, but Fu Liang, one of the two commanders set up by Li Gang in Nanjing (Shangqiu) that day, and former deputy envoy of Hedong Economic and Regulations.

This man, with hundreds of elite troops, seized the gate and surrendered gold, and was the biggest culprit for the destruction of Chang'an City.

It’s ridiculous that the Zhao Guan family had specially pardoned him and came back to find him, and even worried that he had died at the hands of the defeated soldiers, but they didn’t know that this person had already hidden in Guanzhong and became a naked traitor.

After Chang'an was destroyed, he was directly a scholar from Tianzhang Pavilion, Jingzhao Prefecture Road Rule Commander Tang Chong, Shaanxi Transportation Deputy Envoy, Prisoner, and Jiyi's Words, almost all died for the country.

Later, after fleeing from Luoyang to Caizhou from the south of Luoyang, Henan Yin Sun Zhaoyuan saw the mountains and fields full of defeated soldiers. He wanted to use them, so he scolded the defeated soldiers and the people for food and clothing, causing trouble to the place. As a result, he was killed by the defeated soldiers at the city of Ruyang, and the body was found by the Zhao official family.

At this time, the atmosphere was different from the past, but two days later, as a man in coarse cloth clothes was hurriedly sent by Han Shizhong, no one from Zhao Guan's family could sit steadily.

The visitor was Yan Xiaozhong, the governor of Tangzhou, west of Caizhou and east of Dengzhou, where Nanyang is located, and he actually escaped from the Jin army!

Not to mention the specific information about how to escape, Yan Xiaozhong reported a message that caught everyone off guard. Jin Jun Wanhunichuhe was still robbing in the Nanyang area!

It turned out that just before Ma Shen left Xiangyang and went to the Nanyang area to meet Zhao Guan's family, the Jin army sent an army of about 10,000 people to lead the south by a ten thousand people, and conquered Ruzhou and Caizhou. We knew about this, because the ten thousand people had been stationed in Caizhou for a long time, and it seemed that they were going to echo Wanyan Wushu in the east in Huaixi.

At this time, he was traveling west and came to Caizhou. Because there were no Jin troops in Caizhou, he thought he had withdrawn his troops and returned to Taiyuan!

In fact, at this moment, according to the continuous information from Zong Ze, Zhang Su and Zhang Jun, at least the Jin army's Eastern Route Army had obvious intention to withdraw troops in Jingdong. The Jin army garrisons in Qingzhou and Weizhou on the corner had already gone to Hebei. There were even rumors that Liu Yu, the surrendered minister of Jinan Prefecture, had cried loudly and asked Ta Lai to leave some of the Jin army to station.

But no one expected that the Jin army's Western Route Army would still be so rampant.

"Good instructors know."

The short Yan Xiaozhong bowed and replied in the lobby of Ruyang's government. "Nichuhe went south after breaking Xijing in the twelfth month last year. He sent troops to the government and the officials. The serious military order obtained from Wanyan Loushi also defeated Dengzhou and took Nanyang. On the contrary, he came to Caizhou before and heard that the officials were in Huai, and did it privately!"

In the lobby, many smart people, including the Zhao Guan family, woke up almost instantly, and then were shocked. This was the match!

You know, our Zhao Guan family was planning to go to Nanyang with Li Gang! The Jin Army’s Western Route Army, whether it was Nianhan or Loushi, could not not not pay attention to this matter, so after quickly breaking through the Western Jing Luoyang, it would naturally be like waiting for the rabbit.

If there was no trouble that day, if he really came to Nanyang happily, with his combat power at that time, wouldn’t he be defeated by this ten thousand households?

Thinking of this, many people in the camp looked pale. Even the Zhao Guan family suddenly remembered the corpse with a bulging belly. It was true that Ding Jin, a thief of Huaixi, was he a hero who saved the Song Dynasty?!

Is this considered another major injustice created by the Zhao Guan family after Liu Guangshi?

"Official family." After hesitating, Yan Xiaozhong said with a little care. "I originally planned to guard the city in Tangzhou, but the city of Tangzhou is small and old, and I can easily dig down the city walls for the Jin army. I can't do anything. Also, because I am short and ugly, my face is like a dwarf. In addition, when I was captured, I was wearing coarse cloth clothes on the city, so the Jin army did not take the initiative to be the civil servants who were in charge of the army. This was the opportunity to escape and meet the official family... The official family, the special appearance of the official family must have the civil servants recruited by the Jin army to meet the ministers. Once this matter is asked, I will know the authenticity. I will never lose my integrity!"

"Yan Qing's loyalty is beyond doubt. Please be at ease with him and wait for the enemy to retreat before appointing him." Zhao Jiu quickly nodded and comforted him.

Of course you need comfort!

The Scholar Kobayashi who was attending the side laughed in his heart that Yan Xiaozhong was too careful.

Just think about it, according to the current information, the officials next to the Jin army in the west of Beijing have basically died and have been surrendered. If there is a prefect who dares to defend the city and walk hundreds of miles to report the news, it is already a rare role model for civil officials. How could the official family have been skeptical about the experience of being captured with you, Yan Xiaozhong?

However, is there such a benefit in this way?

"But Yan Qing," just as Bachelor Kobayashi was thinking about it, the Zhao Guan family continued to ask. "You have escaped from Nichhuhe's army, can you tell what the situation in Dengzhou is like?"

"Fortunately, the official family came quickly. At this time, Liu Ji, the transferee of the southwest of the capital, was still there... Fan Zhixu, the magistrate of the Guanwen Palace, was also there." Yan Xiaozhong blurted out again. "But these two people are afraid they will be gone when they will be gone."

"What does this mean?" Zhao Jiu was confused when he heard the other party's words. "Has the Jin army's offensive been settled?"

"Reporting to the official family, it's not that I am talking about my colleagues without authorization!" Yan Xiaozhong gritted his teeth and said angrily. "I am also a waste who doesn't know the soldiers. I was also captured alive by the Jin army, but at least I knew to occupy the city and guard it. There was no use of monks and boys to make soldiers! I wouldn't only build the "Great Wall" with my shoulders!"

When Zhao Jiu heard this, he instinctively remembered the so-called legendary story of "Six Ding and Liu Jia", but he felt panicked and immediately looked at several husbands sitting next to him: "Who is this talking about?"

The four sitting husbands almost stood up together when they heard this, and then Lu Haowen met with embarrassingly: "The good instructors knew that Fan Xueshou relied on the most military service in the square, and was a monk named Zongyin. On that day, Fan Xueshou was the commander of the Western Army and led 160,000 troops to aid Tokyo. He specially selected a team of monk soldiers, called "Zunsheng Army", and also selected a team of boy soldiers, called "Jingsheng Army". He also built the "Great Wall" in Tongguan to connect the Longmen..."

"Then how bad was the defeat?" Zhao Jiu felt the slightest halfway through hearing this, but directly interrupted the other party.

"It was destroyed by Wanyan Loushi Jingqi. "After the Battle of Shouzhou, Lu Hao asked these people that some of the things before were too ridiculous, so he quickly lowered his head after saying this. "Senior Fan also lost the position of Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy and was transferred to Dengzhou."

"If the Song Dynasty can survive to this day, it is really a blessing from the gods and Buddhas." Zhao Guanjia sneered. "If I really came to Nanyang that day, I would probably kill this person with my own hands if I was devastated... Liu Guangshi was really wronged!"

After hearing something wrong in the hall, all the civil and military officials bowed their heads and said nothing. Even the short-sized Magistrate Yan was at a loss for a moment and quickly bowed his head.

"In this way, Dengzhou must have no time to save it?" Zhao Jiu came back to his senses and continued to ask Yan Xiaozhong.

"That's not true." Yan Xiaozhong quickly answered again. "The official family is well-known, and the fortune-teller Liu Longtu was loyal. On that day, during the Jingkang period, he went to Tokyo alone to face the disaster. When he came back, he received an order from the office to rectify Nanyang to prepare for the official family. He worked hard to maintain it until today... Liu Longtu may be as unaware of the army as a minister, but he felt that it would not be as ridiculous as Fan Xueshi, nor did he easily abandon the city and leave."

Zhao Jiu was excited, but asked again quickly: "Do you know what kind of Jin army's fictitiousness and reality?"

"Five Jurchens are Meng'an, two Khitans are Meng'an, one Xi'an, one northern Han'an, and one Bohai are Meng'an, but it seems that because of the damage caused by the Taiyuan War in the past, there are only fifty or sixty plots in total!" Yan Xiaozhong responded immediately. "That is, the main force of five or six thousand people! The rest are surrendered by the Western Army as a supplement. Only he went to Xijing (Luoyang), Ruzhou, Caizhou, and Tangzhou. There have been many riots who have subdued him recently!"

Hearing this number, the hall was silent for a moment. From Zhao Jiu, four ministers, and several censors below the Censor Zhang Jun... In short, except for the censor Xiaolin, who was more cunning, almost all the important officials who came from the east exchanged their gazes instinctively and tacitly, and then a bold idea arose in their hearts... Obviously, after the battle in Shouzhou, at least everyone's mentality was completely different from the officials in the west of Jing.

Of course, after all, it was a ten thousand households and a bunch of surrendered soldiers. After thinking about it, Zhao Guanjia still felt guilty and asked again seriously: "Yan Qing, Fan Qiong, Xiangyang to the south, what other soldiers can be used in Caizhou, Tangzhou, Ruzhou, and Dengzhou?"

"Reporting to the official family, although the west of the capital is in a mess, there are still some brave men who dare to fight against the Jin army." Yan Xiaozhong's eyes twitched, and he almost instantly understood the meaning of the official family, and also understood the reasons for the strange atmosphere in the hall just now. However, he was shocked, shocked, and hoped, and became a little cautious. "Tangzhou is a small town, and he has done his best, but in the northwest of Caizhou, there is a rich man who called Zhai Chong. He and the two generals of Xijing, Zhai Xiaozhai, are far away from home, and they are quite powerful. My family is just put in his home... Ask the official family to give me a horse, and then send an eunuch back to Tangzhou with a confession document. There will inevitably be three thousand soldiers and horses!"

When Zhao Jiu heard that it was Da Zhai and Xiao Zhai's family, he instinctively believed it... It should be noted that Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin brothers were the real reliance of the Western Capital Luoyang at this time. They almost insisted on resisting the Jin Dynasty in Luoyang alone. Zhao Jiu also saw many messages about this family from all over the place. Instead of asking Zhao Guanjia to say that, he vaguely felt that this family was a bit like Zhujiazhuang in Water Margin, Zengtou City, and that was the super tycoon of the Song Dynasty!

However, in terms of behavioral norms, they are super powerful people who are loyal and reliable and pay attention to national justice! Not long ago, the Zhai brothers were responsible for the battle of guarding Xijing, and the second son of the second son Zhai Jin also died under the sword of the Jin man in the breakout battle.

"I don't know about Ruzhou, but I heard of something in the Jin army," just as the Zhao Guan family was drifting to the Water Margin, Yan Xiaozhong thought that the Zhao Guan family was listening carefully, and continued to say. "There is a warrior named Niu Gao who took advantage of the situation when the Jin army crossed the border and repeatedly fought with the Jin people to win. Now there are quite a few soldiers..."

Zhao Jiu was stunned and almost didn't react... There was no way, after half a year, he finally caught another person he knew and was a little caught off guard.

"Officials, I think you can make up your mind to fight this battle!" At this moment, Zhang Jun, the chief censor who had been staring at Zhao Guan Family and wearing a green robe, suddenly stepped out of the list. "This is not only because the Jin people must be driven away before Nanyang, but also because of the chaos in the west of the capital, and the mixed dragons and snakes. It is time to take the opportunity to screen the chaotic soldiers here, get the loyal and brave people for their own use, and drive away all the miscellaneous and poor people!"

Zhao Jiu nodded slowly, and the four relatives around him looked at each other, but could not refute for a moment.

"If the official wants to fight this, he must be careful." Seeing that no one is talking, Yan Xiaozhong said helplessly.

"What's the matter?"

"The good instructor knows that there is a vital place at this time, that is, the general of Wuguan is not someone else, but the monk Zongyin in Fan Xueshi's mouth..."

"Liu Yan!" Zhao Guanjia thought for a moment, and suddenly turned his head and ordered someone beside him. "Immediately, I will face you with a gold medal. No matter how you go around, be sure to rush to Wuguan and seize the monk's military power!"

"Official family!" At this moment, Bachelor Kobayashi suddenly left the list. "I am willing to go to seek comfort as a close minister in front of me!"

Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel relieved...

Of course, please feel relieved!

It should be noted that Wuguan is hundreds of miles behind the enemy, and is a ten thousand households across the Jin army. He is not going to Ruzhou to recruit Niu Gao or something, but this Xiaolin scholar actually volunteered... There was Hu Yin in front and Lin Jingmo behind, which shows that not all the civil officials were like Fan Zhixu!

The Song Dynasty is still saved!

ps: Thank you for the 53rd cute, the restless volcano! If you continue like this, I feel like you will be able to enter the famous work hall next month.
