Chapter 142 Another Big Gamble (Part 2)
"You are not afraid that I will be in a relationship with Lao Wang."
"What are you afraid of? I came from Hunan. I saw how you and General Pan and Wang Zhizhou treated the people well. I also reported it to Your Majesty. If you are in a relationship with General Wang, then I misjudged it. Of course, I may not even survive tonight. However, for those innocent people, I will only pay for this life. I believe that King Yama will give me a better afterlife."
It is not as good as King of Hell, Song Jiu even doesn't believe it. But Ding Deyu would believe it.
Ding Deyu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll be crazy with you."
The two found Wang Quanbin, and Song Jiu said, "Please send 5,000 troops to protect me to Guankou Village in person and take a balloon to measure above."
Wang Quanbin is not stupid, Song Jiu doesn't say it early or late, but Ding Deyu said it when he came, so he looked at Ding Deyu, and Ding Deyu was not stupid, and said, "Old Wang, don't look at me, this guy just said that the Eastern Army and the Northern Army are not in harmony, which is not good. Therefore, I advised me and Gong Lu to persuade Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi, so that everyone can obey your order, quickly resolve the two divisions of the All Shixiong and Lu Han, and fulfill Your Majesty's wish. Lao Wang, are you really disagreeing with Lao Cao?"
"Hahaha, Song Jiu, you are talking nonsense, aren't you afraid that I will beat you up a hundred military sticks?" Wang Quanbin said happily. This discord is open, but if you can persuade Cao Bin, you will be rewarded. It is a good thing.
Song Jiu said seriously: "General Wang, fight. The more you fight, the faster I will be promoted. Or beat me to death, will that General Wang dare not?"
"Okay, you master and apprentice have the same virtue, and I won't reason with you."
"General Wang, please restrain your subordinates."
"What do you know? If I restrain myself, I won't be afraid of another Lu Han. I'm not afraid of this principle when it comes to the horizon."
Lu Yuqing was so angry that he was so angry that he hummed.
"This dispute is useless. Song Jiu, don't talk nonsense. General Wang has made great contributions this time. Lao Wang, you can send five thousand elite soldiers to him and get the matter done sooner. If you don't send me, I will transfer my men to him."
"Okay, Song Jiu, am I afraid of you?" Wang Quanbin said angrily. If Song Jiu had not been named a central envoy, Wang Quanbin would have removed Song Jiuda from eight pieces and pulled him with sixteen horses!
This measurement is not easy.
Guankou Village is located on the north side of the Misky River, facing southeast and northwest, and on the side are high mountains and ridges. It is built against the mountains, so the terrain is very dangerous. If Song Jiu wants to ride a hot air balloon, it is best to have the southeast wind.
It is the first month of the year, and there is a southeast wind, but the wind is not strong, so the hot air balloon must be placed not far from Guankou Village, so you will face attacks from all Shixiong. This is why Song Jiu wants to lead 5,000 soldiers.
Without their protection, I guess it would be that when the front was released, all the subordinates of Shixiong would be captured alive. In addition, the height and approximately width must be measured. This must be measured until afternoon. The shadow of the city wall can be calculated by measuring the side.
Five thousand Song troops arrived. The rebels in Guankou Village were in a panic, thinking that the Song army was going to attack Guankou Village, so they began to prepare for the battle. Seeing that the hot air balloon had taken off, no one cared about it. In fact, Wang Quanbin also used the hot air balloon several times, and he had some contributions, at least more than gunpowder.
Two days later, Song Jiu returned to Yizhou with a lot of data, and asked Lu Yuqing and Wang Renshan to come forward and call Cao Bin, Liu Guangyi, Kang Yanze and Zizhou Feng Zan for discussion. The discussion was fake. That is, let Lu Yuqing persuade these people, everyone gave up their grudges and hatred, obey Wang Quanbin's call, and quickly ended the Bashu rebellion.
This is not easy.
Lu Yuqing's mouth was worn out, and only a few people reluctantly agreed.
But Kang Yanze said, "I have to ask Song Jiu. If he has a way to destroy Guankou Village in a blink of an eye, we can cooperate."
"Okay," Lu Yuqing wiped his sweat. This bad fact made him extremely miserable.
"Also, I have to command my people myself. They are all children from Liangchuan and handed them over to Wang Quanbin. I can't worry, maybe he will kill them together again."
"Okay. You draw some of the manpower, Cao Bin draws some of the manpower to attack Jintang. At least cut off the defeated army that fled from Guankou Village, and then divide the troops to attack the enemy Tongshan tribe with Governor Feng." Lu Yuqing said. That is, nominally obeying Wang Quanbin's command. In fact, they are still fighting on their own.
But all troops cannot be concentrated. Kang Yanze must divide his troops to prevent Wang Keliao from attacking Puzhou City. Cao Bin should divide his troops to guard against Lu Han. Fortunately, Ding Deyu brought thousands of troops, and his troops were enough.
Lu Yuqing found Song Jiu, and Song Jiu looked at everyone. Don’t look at a large group of people sitting here talking about family matters, but they actually had their own thoughts. Song Jiu ignored it, and bowed and said, “I have met General Wang, General Cui, Gong Wang, Gong Lu, Gong Cao, General Liu, General Shen Zhuanyun, General Cao, General Ding, and other generals.”
"Okay, don't have any generals, tell me quickly, can you break through Guankou Village?" Wang Quanbin said.
Shen Yilun also said: "Speak quickly and don't keep it a secret."
This time, the generals of various departments were integrated together, but after the boss Lu Yuqing's thoughts, he would force him to send troops. Otherwise, after a few days, each conflict would arise and he would do his own things.
"Yes," Song Jiu looked at the big map behind him and said, "But once you act, don't need to send troops quickly. You can break through Guankou Village and take down all the troops with one go. If Guankou Village cannot be broken through, the troops will be dispersed. If Lu Han and Wang Keliao send troops to support each other again, they will easily be defeated by division of troops, and the situation in Bashu will become even worse. If General Wang is not needed at that time, Your Majesty will be beheaded and displayed to the public."
Beheadings may not be made public, nor will it cause further degeneration, but if there is a possibility of degeneration, Song Jiu will also be dealt with by Zhao Kuangyin. At least some of the official positions he finally obtained will be demoted and dispersed.
This is a fact, and no one said anything.
Song Jiu said again: "It is General Wang who made meritorious service. I can only play the role of a technical official in the middle. For the sake of the country, you all obey General Wang's command. The one who made the greatest contribution was General Wang. However, after failure, I was the one who had the only one. Therefore, I would like to make a small request."
"You tell me, what are the requirements?"
"General Wang, once the army takes action, after taking down all the troops, including General Cao, will obey your command and quickly take down Lu Han."
"Just say, what request?"
"Two requests, before the first army takes action, please sign the signature together with General Wang, Gong Wang, Gong Lu, and all the generals to erect this monument outside Yizhou City." Song Jiu handed a piece of paper to Wang Renshan, after all, he was the chief supervisor of the army.
Wang Renshan opened it and saw a strange limerick poem on it:
It is my great Song territory, and it is all my great Song people.
Your father is my father, and your mother is my mother.
I am responsible for lack of clothing, and I will save the food.
We are all brothers and we will protect the peace of the Song Dynasty for thousands of years.
No matter what the poem means, Wang Renshan asked in surprise: "Is this the poem you wrote?"
Song Jiu was not happy and could not write parallel prose well. Everyone knows that it is not useless. At least the little words he wrote are quite good. But is this a poem?
"It is not a poem, it is just for every citizen to understand."
"What about the second requirement?"
Song Jiu handed over the second piece of paper and said, "Before going to the war, all the lords signed and copied the official's signatures and paintings, and then copied thousands of copies, each with its own seal, and distributed them to the rebels and the people."
Wang Renshan took it over again and wrote a few words:
When the village was destroyed, those who resisted were killed without mercy. Anyone who surrendered was eliminated from the evil ones, and no one would investigate the plan from then on and sent people to their homes.
The surrendered officers and soldiers and officials from all over the country shall not abuse them on the grounds of previous events, nor shall they kill them without mercy, otherwise the heavenly thunder will be killed and they will not die well.
When surrenders and refugees return to their homes, officials from all prefectures and counties will distribute some relief supplies to make them feel at ease and cultivate and rebuild their homes. If officials treat them the same, or if they rob property, their wives and daughters will be killed without mercy.
Wang Renshan said nothing and transferred the two pieces of paper to Wang Quanbin. After seeing it, Wang Quanbin was furious and said, "Song Jiu, what do you mean?"
It was slapped in the face, and it was very powerful.
Song Jiu said slowly: "If this battle is successful, General Wang will be the first contribution, and you have some military achievements, but what am I? But if you lose, General Wang and you will definitely put the responsibility on me. It is indeed my responsibility, so there is no need to push it. But how to suppress the bandits is my responsibility? Why do I have to do this? In this way, anyway, I will make a bet with General Wang. If I follow my arrangements, I will quickly take down Guankou Village, and the chaos of Bashu will be stopped, and the people will be saved.
