Chapter 224 The north and the south are like a treacherous road, and the recovery is like a nightmar

Chapter 224: The north and south are like fear of the road, and recovery is like a nightmare. Forbidden speech!

In the Fenzhou Prefecture, the army was in a sturdy manner. In the side hall of the inner yamen, only Yang Zaixing and Niu Gao drank against each other. Niu Gao brought Sheng back and chatted and laughed loudly during the banquet. He first congratulated Yang Zaixing to become the governor of Fenzhou and then began to please Lao Yang.

"Brother Yang, our old cow is not a word of false words - 25,000 soldiers and horses were brought back to Fenzhou, so how could he live up to his entrusted day?"

Niu Gao stroked his long beard with his hands, and his old face was full of brilliance. He raised his head and drank the fine wine in the cup.

Yang Zaixing hurriedly poured wine for himself, but hesitated and said: "Old Niu, this Taiyuan Prefecture has already spent 5,000 Luzhou troops to be sent. At present, there are a large number of people. The 25,000 troops to return to Fenzhou have 5,000 surrendered troops. The new army will continue to fight since then. Can we deal with it?"

Niu Gao stopped drinking and said hesitantly: "Taiyuan Prefecture is the head of the Three Jin Dynasty. It has 300 miles of land and dozens of prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction. If there are no elite troops in charge, I am afraid that there will be another disaster. After this battle, Brother Yang will not have any plans to withdraw. In this way, you must have more personnel to manage the place. A mere 5,000 soldiers are already the minimum number of people that Lao Niu can use, and it must not be less! If you want to be long, you must transfer more civil servants from Zezhou and Luzhou, but rely on lieutenant generals and colleges to ensure the quality. There are more than 100 prefectures and counties on the ground in Hedong, and although there is no more than 100 prefectures and counties in the ground in Hedong, they must be defended everywhere. If you continue along the way, it is naturally no problem to Pingyang Prefecture, but it is a bit difficult to go to Jiezhou, and it is difficult to move forward half a step forward!"

Yang Zaixing knew that Niu Gao's words were true, and he pondered himself. After a long time, he said: "There may be a solution to the military affairs. Sun En and Li Qi were in Taihang for a long time. People from all mountains and villages were familiar with each other. They stepped on the Bai army and Shengjie army was temporarily led to the command of Brother Niu. These two generals contacted each mountain. Anyone who wished to be incorporated into the Yue family army would go down the mountain to be trained. The leader of each village was appointed as a military position. In this way, there would be about 50,000 or 60,000 heroes. Song people from each mountain in Taihang can also go down the mountain and get fields and animals. After the overall situation was initially decided at the end of the year, the Hedong area should gradually recover."

"As for the south of Jiezhou, it is already the ground of Jingxi Road. If it is forcing it, it will be as directed by Yue Zheng, and it will be divided into troops in the city and will eventually be difficult to continue. The intention of a certain family is that this battle is limited to Hedong, to Jiezhou in the east, to Jingwei in the west, to the south, to Taihang in the north, to the land of the Three Jins, a radius of thousands of households, even if there are hundreds of thousands of households in the years of war, if the governance is achieved, it will be very considerable in several years. If you try your best to conquer Hebei, you will be afraid of losing it and losing it, which is not beautiful."

Niu Gao was taught silently, and finally drank a glass of wine. He said, "If the east of Hebei is settled, why not raise troops to force Heluo to force Wu Lin to lead the Sichuan army out of the monk Yuan, the west of the capital, and the Fengxiang Road can be settled in one fell swoop. If there is a connection between the north and the south, why not worry about no soldiers, horses, money and food?"

Yang Zaixing spoke up, cut off the large fat sheep and sent it to Niu Gao's plate, and asked coldly: "Old Niu remember why Liang Xing returned to the south? Why did the chivalrous society be built? Don't say that Wu Lin has only soldiers and horses but dare not move rashly, but I'm afraid that when the north and south are connected, we brothers will not be able to do it. Don't talk about Heluo now, just look at the emptiness of Hebei and Sali will be punished. Have you ever seen any movement in the towns in Jiangnan? Lin'an means that Yue Lei can stir up some storms here, and only push the deafness and blindness, it's best not to be involved. How could there be a plan to go north? If this could be done, how could the emperor kill Yue?!"

Niu Gao heard that he threw a dagger on the desk, stopped drinking, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, if not, why would many heroes die in vain on that day? Well, let's conquer Hedong and block Taihang. Do some business here. Then raise troops to go north again, don't care about Lin'an's people!"

Yang Zaixing smiled and raised his glass and sipped: "It's the same as a certain meaning!"

The two looked at each other, both of them smiling.

That night, Niu Gao led his troops out of Fenzhou City and headed south towards Pingyang Prefecture.

Pingyang Prefecture is the territory of Jizhou in "Yu Gong", which is the capital of Yao and Shun, which is called Pingyang. "Century" says: The land is named after the Yang of Pingshui. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Pingyang County was changed to Pinghe County, which was the same as Yang. In the third year, the county was abolished, and the prefecture was the same. Emperor Yang changed the prefecture to Linfen County. In the second year of Yining, it was called Pingyang County. In the first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, it was called Jinzhou. At the beginning of Tianbao, it was also called Pingyang County. There was a Song Dynasty, which was called Jinzhou, also called Pingyang Prefecture. The Jin people set up the southeastern road here.

The prefecture connects Luzhou in the east, the Yellow River in the west, the Bian and Luo in the south, and the Jinyang in the north. It reaches 390 miles to Lu'an Prefecture in the east, 400 miles to Zezhou in the south, 265 miles to the Yellow River in the south, and crosses the river to Shanzhou in Henan, 320 miles to the Yellow River in the west, and crosses the river to 270 miles to Yan'an Prefecture in Shaanxi, 390 miles to Fenzhou Prefecture in the north, and 340 miles to Qinzhou in the north. From the prefecture to the governor, 590 miles to the governor's office, 240 miles to Jiangning Prefecture in the south.

If Taiyuan was the head of the Three Jins and Fenzhou was the hinterland of the Three Jins, then Pingyang Prefecture could be called the throat and heart. At first, Sali went north. When he passed Pingyang Prefecture, he only cared for plunder and did not stay many soldiers. He only had thousands of soldiers under Niu Gao, who was secretly occupying Fenzhou. If Sali was a little cautious, stopped the troops in Pingyang Prefecture and conquered Hedong's troops, and used the plan to resist for a long time, Yang Zaixing would have a headache. On that day, Yang Zaixing led his troops north to chase Sali, so he did not even have the intention to capture the city, so he went north to Fenzhou.

At this moment, things are easy to go. Most of Niu Gao’s troops come to attack. How could he enter Baoshan and return in vain?

Yue Lei’s Bingfeng is already close to Jingwei, so Niu Gao will naturally not lose to his nephews. He is determined to win this battle!

In Pingyang Prefecture City, Pingyang Yin Zhang Hao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, urging the soldiers in the prefecture to report to Kaifeng with a quick report.

When Zhang Hao was in Beijing, he was promoted from the Minister of the Three Ministry of Housing, Gong and Rites to the Minister of Rites, and participated in the "detailed internal and external rituals". He should be said to be one of the great ministers who jointly established the Han system of the Great Jin Dynasty with Han Qixian and others. However, under the new policy of Wushu two years ago, he fell into a dispute between "new and old Han ministers" and had no choice but to take office to avoid the fight between the powerful ministers of the Shangjing. At present, the central minister of the court is full of new Han ministers appointed by Wushu. Where is this old minister's turn to stand up? He had no choice but to stay in Pingyang Prefecture. He did not do anything to do at the beginning of his tenure. He had done a lot of things at the beginning of his tenure, and the rule of the prefectures and counties that had been ravaged for many years gradually became a safe atmosphere. Unexpectedly, he would encounter such a huge disaster again! The Jin system is the most important military merits, and the wind of rewarding victory and defeating is very strong. If he is defeated, even if he escapes for a lifetime, he is afraid that his family will inevitably suffer!

"Sir, Kaifeng Prefecture is only 500 miles away, and now it has been more than twenty times urgently reported. Have you ever seen a soldier and a soldier come to help?" The staff in the mansion persuaded him: "The old man left the town for the important officials of the Great Jin Kingdom, so he didn't have to be dragged down. Now he is leaving his family in Pingyang Prefecture. Why not go to Kaifeng for help in person, or can he avoid the disaster?"

Zhang Hao is almost fifty years old and has been through the officialdom for a long time. How could he not hear the meaning of this? If he led his family to Kaifeng for help and did it more concealedly, he would be lucky to be out of the city when the city was destroyed, or he could be lenient. But after all, Lao Zhang was an orthodox Han official who had been immersed in poetry and books for many years. How could he be so despicable?

"Don't mention this again! I will issue a notice. The access control will be rectified recently. You can no longer travel at night. I think it is under the capital of the enemy. All the troops will return to the commander of Hedong South Road. I will die together with Pingyang Prefecture!" Zhang Hao said with gratitude.

At this time, there was a different scene in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Wanyan Zongmin, namely Alubu, the new marshal, the right military supervisor, the Posulu commander, the Guide Army, the Jiedu Army, and the founding of the Mansion Yitong Sansi, wearing a literary robe, but abandoned his official hat and did not wear it. He was fat and had three small braids on his bald head. He walked in the palace of the ancient capital of the Song Dynasty with his hands behind his back, and praised him: "This King Kang was really not good at his fate. If the Great Jin Dynasty did not attack this city, he would have enjoyed such a good palace! How could it be so easy to build in the capital city?"

When Li Qiong heard this, he felt disgusted, but he had to respond carefully: "Sir, right!"

Alu Bu said that he would give him a reward for a while. Seeing that Li Qiong was half dead, he felt bored and hesitated: "I don't have to live in any general's mansion. I will stay in this palace for a few days. Is it okay to come? On that day, the commander-in-chief of the army and the army of Yue Nanman was in stalemate and also camped in this palace. What's wrong?"

Li Qiong did not dare to be careless this time and said carefully: "What the lord says is worthy of it. However, the current right prime minister here earlier, Zeng Dao intended to keep the Song Palace as the lord's palace. Civil and military officials are not allowed to live without a good residence. I wonder if you have any knowledge?"

Alu Bu felt a choked in his heart, his face turned red, and he said silently for a while: "There are tens of thousands of people living in this palace, so how can it be like many palaces? Most of the pillars and rafters on a certain house are rotten. Seeing that the craftsmen in the Song Dynasty are masters, they are not decayed! Forget it, since the right prime minister has something to say, a certain family will not break this example. They only use some wood to repair their own house, it doesn't matter!"

As he spoke, he walked in front of him angrily, leaving Li Qiong there and was stunned. The next day, Alu Bu's soldiers came to the palace to demolish the palace. Li Qiong felt bitter, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to go.

For more than ten days, dozens of prefectures and counties on the road in Hedong continued to flow into Kaifeng like snowflakes. Alu Bu ignored it, but was busy urging Tang, Deng, and Cai to gather all the troops in Kaifeng so that they could dispatch their own troops and fight against Yue Lei!

The two soldiers here are each preparing for their own battle, planning a fierce battle, but in Lin'an City, there are still scattered waves and no peace.

Not to mention that Yue Lei's achievements are often passed, they are often only half a step slower than official documents. Sometimes the ones sent through the pigeon books are much faster than the gold medals. Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing's troops all counted on the Yue family's army. Even the Taihang Rebel Army, far away in Datong, was also organized into Yue family's army. With this calculation, the Yue family's army has more than 100,000! On the ground in Hebei and Hedong, it was only heard that the Yue family's army is everywhere, and the result is even higher than Yue Fei's northern expedition in the past. The Song people in Lin'an City are rumored to say that Yue Erye is possessed by the Prince of Yue, and the iron spear in his hand has all the true teachings of Yue's spears, and he has the courage to regain Hebei in the future, and he will see the children of Yue's family!

The officialdom was not calm. The most disturbing thing recently was Li Xianzhong, the governor of Baoxin Army and the deputy general manager of Zhejiang East. Although this person is famous among the four towns, he is also a famous general. He used Xia people to attack Jin, and was so scared that Sali was so scared that he abandoned the city and fled. At this time, he heard that Sali was killed and was filled with mixed feelings. He was nearly forty years old, but he was afraid that the court would not attack the north again, so he would be "Feng Tang was old and Li Guang could not be granted." This letter asked the north to restore the Central Plains, but did not mention the two emperors in public, but did not report it through secret memorials. By the time of Lin'an, everyone in the world had heard of it, and those who knew it praised his courage.

Qin Hui was extremely embarrassed because of this. The Jin Dynasty ordered the envoy of Jiangnan to directly scold the Prime Minister's Mansion when he heard the news, which made Qin Hui feel embarrassed. He criticized Li Xianzhong for not being wrong in front of Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou knew that it was the Jin people who intervened, so he had to demote Li Xianzhong to Fengshen in Taizhou and no longer take charge of the troops.
