Chapter 255 Shocking changes in Guangxi! (Here it comes!)

I am happy here and don’t miss Shu.

Liu Chan once said.

The same was true for Zhang Heng who came back from the northwest. He stayed at home openly for several days. It was not until Zhao Zhen called him to discuss matters that he reluctantly went. But after that, except when necessary, he would surround his daughter like this every day.

Whirl around.

When Zhao Zhen heard about this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He also remembered that Zhang Heng was already a deputy envoy to the Privy Council, but his deceased parents had no official positions. So Zhao Zhen discussed with others and gave Zhang Heng's parents posthumous official positions, and then granted them the title.

Zeng Youwei was the royal wife, but it was a pity that Zhang Heng gave birth to a daughter this time, otherwise she would have been named his wife Yinzi.

This incident also made Zeng Youwei a little sad. She thought that if she gave birth to a son, she could find an official position for him. Unfortunately, she only gave birth to a daughter... It took Zhang Heng to coax her for a long time before she became happy again.

In order to make his wife happy, Zhang Heng planned an autumn outing. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn weather in Bianjing was crisp and clear. Hearing that half of the mountains to the south were already red, Zhang Heng prepared a vehicle and took his wife and daughter to Nanshan to see the mountains.

Red leaves.

While Zhang Heng was relaxing and enjoying the red leaves all over the mountain, Ding Du was sweating profusely and nervous, as if he had been fished out of water.

"Nong Zhigao is so stupid! How dare he!"

Ding Dusse shouted loudly and with anger to cover up his inner uneasiness.

"How dare he! How dare he!"

Dingdu turned around and said while turning.

Ding Du looked very nervous, and the Yongzhou commander Qi Bin (Qi pronounced as qi) who came to report the situation was also a little uneasy. In fact, this matter had a lot to do with him.

Last year, the eighth year of the Qingli calendar, Nong Zhigao occupied and controlled the ethnic minority areas along Tianzhou Road in Youjiang Prefecture.

After that, he used Mohatong as his base and began to break with Jiaozhi. Jiaozhi ordered Taiwei Guo Shengyi to go to conquer, but he returned in defeat. It was this victory that gave Nong Zhigao confidence and turned his head to look at the Song Dynasty.

.

Of course, Nong Zhigao did not invade the border directly, because the threat from Jiaozhi was still there. Soon, Jiaozhi sent troops to attack Nong Zhigao. Nong Zhigao was outnumbered and led his troops to hide in the mountains and forests.

At this time, the new Guangxi transit envoy Ding Du arrived. After Ding Du arrived, he immediately set up a stronghold in Luowangdong, Yongzhou, as a barrier to Nong Zhigao, and received the approval of the court.

When the Guangnan West Road transfer reported this situation, the Song Dynasty took preventive measures and ordered the road to be strictly prepared.

It was at that time that Dingdu ordered him to spy on Nong Zhigao.

At that time, he wanted to achieve extraordinary feats, so he secretly prepared to attack Nong Zhigao. Unexpectedly, Nong Zhigao's traitor was extremely insidious. Although he was still dealing with Jiaozhi's attack, he kept one eye on the Song Dynasty.

Here, if you steal the chicken, you will not lose the rice, but you will be captured by the thieves.

At that time, because I was deeply afraid that I would die under Nong Zhigao's sword, I lied and said: "I am not here to fight. The imperial court sent me to recruit An Ru'er. Unexpectedly, my subordinates did not know each other and mistakenly fought each other, which led to this."

At that time, Nong Zhigao believed it and personally freed him from his bondage. He sat down and gave him wine. During the dinner, he asked in a probing tone: "Why did this man become a slave for so long?

At present, Jiaozhi is out of control, and the border officials are maintaining peace. They want to balance Hunan in the north and Ouluo in the west. Then they plan to make progress. Even if they cannot cross the South China Sea, they will cut off the talisman and envoys, and they will also be with the country. The imperial court has given permission.

Am I equal?"

At that time, I saw Nong Zhigao speaking frankly, so I expressed my opinion: "With a single step, a small piece of ground rises up against fate, and the heavenly troops attack it, just like sweeping dust on a stove;

Moreover, if a husband is obedient to nature, he will be obedient, but if he is ignorant of the time, he will stumble. How can he be like a person who rolls up his armor and girdles his body, accepts the soil and asks for orders, and does not lose the reward of being a prince? Who and the leader of the husband are not protected, and the wife is killed?"

After hearing this narration, Nong Zhigao thought it was very insightful, and smiled happily: "I firmly believe that the matter is fair!"

He immediately sent dozens of people to follow him to Yongzhou and asked to join the Song Dynasty, but Ding Du refused.

Nong Zhigao immediately realized that he had been fooled, but he did not immediately lead troops to attack the Song Dynasty, but continued to deal with the fighting on the Jiaozhi side.

At that time, I saw that Nong Zhigao did not bring troops, and he was relieved for a while. Although Ding Du was dissatisfied with him, he had the idea of ​​subduing him, so he did not demote himself.

But I didn't expect that Nong Zhigao, while dealing with Jiaozhi, would dare to divert his army to attack Yongzhou!

He was unprepared for a moment, and troops led by Nong Zhigao attacked Yongzhou. The city of Yongzhou was destroyed, and he could only flee in panic and run to Guizhou for help.

"Shuai Ding, after Nong Zhigao broke through the city, he did not massacre the city, nor did he plunder the city. He seems to have something to ask for. The bandits must have something to ask for, so why not..."

Qi Bin persuaded Ding Du.

Ding Du suddenly turned back to look at Qi Bin and said angrily: "Isn't that right? He wanted to be attached, but he was forced to fight with swords. If our Song Dynasty agrees to this today, there will be nothing stupid or wise in the future."

The shortness is also exercised in accordance with the law. You tell me, the Song Dynasty still wants to lose face!"

Qi Bin thought to himself: How can the Song Dynasty have any dignity? Isn’t this how Xixia broke out of the Song Dynasty? Now it still has to spend money to give away coins every year!

But this cannot be said to Ding Du. He can only be persuaded: "Shuai Ding, we have too few troops. That Nong Zhigao has become a problem. Even the overwhelming troops in Jiaozhi cannot destroy him. We in Guangxi want to

I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy him. If we want to report it to the imperial court, this will be the crime of losing Yongzhou..."

Ding Du looked at Qi Bin and said, "You lost Yongzhou, what do you want me to do?"

Qi Bin was speechless for a moment, but then he said: "But if we can't find a way, if the bandits continue to go east to attack Wuzhou, or even go north to attack Guizhou..."

Ding Du's expression became serious when he heard this. He was nervous about this matter.

The city defenses in various states in Guangxi are in disrepair, which is not much better than the previous Guangnan East Road. If Nong Zhigao really ignored the majesty of the Song Dynasty and forced his way in, then no state in Wuzhou or Guizhou can stop it!

If this really happened, as the transfer envoy of Guangxi, he would also have to bear the responsibility for the loss of land. Don't talk about returning to the political hall by then, he might not even be the transfer envoy!

Before, he had wanted to use Zhang Heng to become Privy Deputy Envoy. When the positions of Zeng Gongliang and Wu Yu had to be adjusted, he would take the opportunity to return to the court. However, he was on the Wilderness Road, far away on Guangnan West Road. When he could

When he heard the news from the imperial court, Zhang Heng went to the northwest to disarm.

There was no way he could go back now, and the mess in front of him really upset him.

Ding Du is a man who knows military skills, and it is precisely because he knows soldiers that he knows that with the strength of Guangxi, there is no way to resist Nong Zhigao, but it is not that simple to bow his head. Nong Zhigao has already violated the border. If he takes it seriously at this time

If he accepts Nong Zhigao's attachment, his reputation in the court will be ruined!

Yes, the Song Dynasty had no choice but to accept some humiliating conditions from Xixia and Liao Kingdoms, but those were all barbarians from the north. The barbarians in the north were fierce and it was normal that they could not be beaten, but could the barbarians in the south negotiate terms?

If you can't defeat the barbarians in the north, how can you defeat the barbarians in the south?

Therefore, of course, one must be tough when dealing with Nong Zhigao. If he accepts Nong Zhigao's inner attachment, then he is weak. What qualifications does a person with such questionable moral character have to return to participate in political affairs?

"No peace!"

Ding Du stared at Qi Bin solemnly: "Commander Qi, Yongzhou is your jurisdiction, but you lost it. This is your responsibility for losing the land. Now you have only two choices. One is to take Yongzhou away."

Take it back, and secondly, I will tie you up and send you back to Bianjing."

Qi Bin's feet were all frightened: "Ding Shuai! Ding Shuai! Spare my life! I can't go back. If I go back now, Nong Zhigao will definitely chop me with a knife!"

Ding Du chuckled: "Then go back to Bianjing."

Qi Bin cried, crying very sadly: "If I go back to Bianjing, the officials will chop off the general, and I can't go back to Bianjing."

Ding Du sneered: "Then I will chop you up on the spot and bury you here in Guizhou?"

Qi Bin suddenly collapsed on the ground, with tears and snot running down his face from fear. Ding Du snorted and disdained to look at such pustules again. However, Qi Bin got up and took Ding Du's arm to beg for approval.

: "Ding Shuai, you must save the last general! You must save the last general! You must have a way, right?"

Ding Du stared at Qi Bin coldly and said nothing.

Qi Bin gritted his teeth and said: "If Ding Shuai is willing to save the last general's life, then from now on the last general will obey Ding Shuai's orders and will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Ding Du stared at Qi Bin closely, and then said after a while: "Are you serious about this?"

Qi Bin was overjoyed: "Take it seriously! Take it seriously! Of course you take it seriously! I will finally be able to swear in the name of my ancestors!"

Ding Du nodded and said: "Then you swear."

"Huh?" Qi Bin was stunned, but found Ding Du staring at him coldly. Qi Bin had no choice but to swear to the sky.

When Ding Du saw Qi Bin swearing in the name of his late parents, he finally had a smile on his face, nodded and said, "This is what it looks like..."

Ding Du pondered for a while and said: "...Since Nong Zhigao wants something, it means he has a weakness. Doesn't he want to be possessed? Then I will give him this opportunity. In this way, you let Nong Zhigao go to Wuzhou

, I will personally meet him. If his request is reasonable, it is not impossible for him to include him."

Qi Bin was stunned and said: "Accept his inner possession?"

Ding Du nodded: "Yes, hasn't Nong Zhigao always wanted to do this? It's not impossible. Our Song Dynasty is great because it has Rong. In the northwest, isn't there also the Yang family in Linzhou, the Zhe family in Fuzhou, and the Zhong family in Qingjian City?

, then wouldn’t it be a good thing to have one more Nong family in Guangyuan Prefecture to guard the border for the Song Dynasty?”

Qi Bin looked at Ding Du suspiciously, but did not dare to say anything more. He just said: "Okay, I will send someone to tell Nong Zhigao..."

Ding Du shook his head and said: "You go."

Qi Bin was frightened: "Ding Shuai..."

Ding Du glanced at Qi Bin and said, "You go."

Qi Bin was trembling all over, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only lower his head and said: "Yes."

Qi Bin left the transfer office in despair and stood under a tree for a long time before returning to the embassy. Early the next morning, he led his people back to Yongzhou.

Qi Bin had to sleep in the open air all the way and traveled all the way to Yongzhou. As soon as he entered the city, he was tied up by Nong Zhigao's people and sent to Nong Zhigao.

When Nong Zhigao saw Qi Bin being tied up, he was furious: "Who tied up Commander Qi like this? Commander Qi is my good brother, Nong Zhigao. How dare they do this to my brother? It's really contrary."
