Chapter 327: Waiting

Zheng Lang said what happened to him in the palace.

Jiang Xing'er smiled with her eyebrows and eyes.

Even though he is a little princess, who can hug him as long as he can?

Besides, there is a prince's guest behind.

The prince’s guest, that was a dignified third-rank official position. In fact, it was a false title. It was impossible for Zheng Lang to run to the East Palace all day without any trouble. Besides, the little prince has only been a few months and the East Palace has not been established. However, an honor is that this position alone, at least 6,000 or 7,000 guan a year will be added to Zheng Lang’s salary by at least 6,000 guan a year. Then Jiang Xing'er tilted her head and calculated it according to the number of official positions, how many annual salary and allowances will be in a year.

Cui Xian said keenly: "Officials should not accept it."

I have made merits and knowledge, but isn’t it that an official in his twenties who serves as a prince’s guest?

"It's okay," Zheng Lang said. He didn't want to accept this part-time job, and he agreed to it in order to make Zhao Zhen happy. But once this child dies, this position will not attract people's jealousy. Moreover, the battle with Xixia will last for several years. In these years, the country's finances have been very nervous. He is in Hangzhou and is in Ping An Supervision Bureau. Even if he is jealous, no one will have any wrong ideas.

Change your clothes again and go to Zhongshu to report again.

The Lantern Festival was the first major festival of the Song Dynasty. All the main officials were on holiday, but the Secretariat also had minor officials on duty.

After reporting, he sent someone to Zhengzhou to invite a few empresses to the capital and started writing letters to Li Yan again. This time, Zheng Lang had to do a lot of things when he came to Beijing. Even if Zhao Zhen did not allow him to participate in the military affairs of the Northwest, he would have to stay for a long time. However, if he had to participate in the military affairs of the Northwest, he would stay longer. It might take two or three months to go back. He still had some plans in spring, so he wrote a letter in advance to notify Li Yan and asked him to implement the affairs in Hangzhou on his behalf.

The war is in the Northwest War, and Hangzhou is equally important.

During the Chu-Han dispute, Liu Bang gave Xiao He his first contribution, but many people did not understand. He even recorded the first contribution of the nuclear war on Han Xin. This idea was wrong. It was because Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for several years, which brought serious consumption to Xiang Yu's military strength and economy, and he could only make up for the next battle. But in contrast, Liu Bang was managed by Xiao He in the rear, and the weather was good, and he continuously provided the source of troops and supplies. The achievements of one positive and the other reverse were undoubtedly better than Han Xin's participation in the war.

This is what Zheng Lang plans to do.

Taipingzhou is one of them, not only bringing income to the country, but also increasing food.

Hangzhou is the second place. Temples and private salts reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, and also bring income to the country. Minerals are wealth and increase currency.

If these things are done well, they are more important than winning a major battle. It’s just that Zheng Lang doesn’t show his merits. Most people don’t have the vision to see it, but some people will understand.

Sier didn't know what the difference was, so she was even happier. She held Cui Xian's hand and said, "Madam, let's go out to see the lanterns together."

Cui Xian gave Zheng Lang an inquiring look.

"Let's go," said Zheng Lang.

Anyway, officials were on holiday on the Lantern Festival and nothing could be done. The battle in the northwest was probably started, but after talking to Zhao Zhen, he knew that his advice had been sent to the northwest. Zheng Lang didn't know whether Fan Yong's idea had changed. However, the court received a memorial saying that Fan Yong did accept a group of surrendered Dangxiang people, but he did not receive a memorial from him who arranged the group to the rear.

There is a time difference, so now there is only waiting.

...

The Northwest War indeed began to begin.

There are three reasons why Yuan Hao chose to launch an attack around the Chinese New Year.

The first one was shortly after he ascended the throne, and he established the system, changed his clothes and rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and composed the text. Many tribes were dissatisfied. Even if Guo persuaded to act as a counter-espionage, he helped Yuan Hao kill Shanhui's whole family, some tribes were dissatisfied. The dispatch of troops in winter was unfavorable, threatening his rule. Therefore, a victory was urgently needed to gather the hearts of all tribes in the country.

The beginning of the second first lunar month was the time when the Song Dynasty had the most holidays, including the New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the beginning of spring, and the Lantern Festival. During this period, the Song army was the most relaxed.

The third year before last year was the Great Cold. Although it was the first lunar month, it was still very cold in the early lunar month of Yanzhou, which restricted the Song army's actions.

However, this time he finally realized that the Song army was not so easy to chew, so he used the counter-espionage strategy.

The Song army was a lion, but the one who led them was a stupid pig, and the stupidest pig was commanding all the Song army on Fuyan Road.

So he took two steps. The first step was to target Li Shibin. Li Shibin guarded Jinming Village with nearly 100,000 soldiers, guarding the middle road for Yanzhou, and was known as the Iron Wall Gong. What is a Gong? Please refer to Yan Shu, Lu Yijian and others. Only those who have been prime ministers can be called Gong Gong. Even Zheng Lang is so famous that he dare not accept the title of Gong Gong.

But Li Shibin has two fatal weaknesses. First, he was very strict with his subordinates. He was not criticized for his strict military management. Li Shibin's subordinates were mixed with fish and dragons, including Dangxiang people, Tubo people, Hu people, Qiang people, Dangxiang people, and various tribes and ethnic groups. Some people were dissatisfied. Think about how many households there were in Hangzhou, how large the area could it be in the area from Jinmingzhai to Tumen, and it was a sparsely populated area. The so-called 100,000 troops were transferred, and almost every household was transferred, which made up a 100,000 iron army. So many troops were transferred, which delayed production, so the tribes were even more dissatisfied.

Secondly, Li Shibin was arrogant and deliberately sent people to attack Jinming Village and nearby forts. The Xixia people fought. Li Shibin waved his sword and horse to fight. The Xixia people immediately fled. The cavalry was fast and wanted to escape. Li Shibin had no choice but to escape. But these people asked while escaping, why did they run away? Hearing the name of the Tiebi Gong, all of them fell to the ground and did not run away and waited to die.

Li Shibin failed to catch up with the deserter, and laughed loudly after hearing this, and led the troops back with great satisfaction.

In fact, Yuan Hao has found the deadliest place in the Song army.

The Song army was not as weak as he thought. On the contrary, their combat effectiveness was stronger than the Dangxiang people. But their lack of war horses, and lack of war horses meant lacking cavalry. Although they had strong combat power and well-equipped weapons and equipment, because they lacked the advantage of speed, they could only passively defend and disperse their troops. For example, Li Shibin, as long as he wanted to escape, Li Shibin had no choice but to deal with the Dangxiang people.

The second step is to falsely surrender.

At the end of the year, a large number of Dangxiang people suddenly came to Jinming Village and claimed to surrender and moved in. Li Shibin's method of solving this problem is very simple. No matter who you come or what kind of intentions you are, I welcome you to surrender, but I don't want to live in my home. Let them all be arranged to the south to consolidate and move to the mainland. Even if these people are all traitors and are sandwiched in the huge population base of the mainland, they will not play a role. But he is a general and has insufficient authority. So he reported to Fan Yong and asked to move to the south.

Who knew that Fan Yong did not agree, but sent someone to tell him, "Just put it in your village, isn't your village known as the Thirty-six Villages?" Part of the village is similar to the nature of being placed in the rear, and it saves some of the costs. But I don't plan to save all of these costs, so I gave you more gold and silk from Li Shibin. I said again, "Who would be better to capture him and get him?"

This is a war at the two countries. He underestimated the enemy and regarded it as a bandit suppression.

Guo Quan's mistake was that many officials on the border of the Song Dynasty also surrendered the Western Xia tribes, and this was delivered to him.

Li Shibin actually agreed.

It’s not that he didn’t know he would get involved in the spy, but that he was too confident.

This happened at the end of last year. The court had just received a memorial from Zheng Lang and had not yet had time to convey it to the northwest.

At this point, Yuan Hao finished preparations. Then he did something else. Just as the new year was approaching, Yuan Hao sent the health school He Zhen to meet Fan Yong. At this time, Fan Yong rewarded the achievements of breaking Houqiao Village and attacking the Wu family and other clan tents. Gao Jilong, Zhang Chongjun, Hou Wuying, Liu Zheng, Hao Renyu, Jia Qing, Wang Qing and other soldiers were rewarded one after another.

Hearing He Zhen coming, he received him. Fan Yong met with him in the form of a victorious person and asked calmly: "What's the matter with Yuanhao sending you here?"

"Report to Mr. Fan, I was ordered by my family leader to meet Mr. Fan. My family leader said that he knew he was wrong and wanted to submit to the court again. He asked Mr. Fan to say good things to my family leader in the court."

Fan Yong was overjoyed.

After all, he was a civil servant and won several battles last year, but it had nothing to do with him. Until now, he did not distinguish between south and north, and he had no confidence in his heart. It would be better not to fight. So he gave generous gifts and buryed all those who had been beheaded by the prisoners of war and buried them. He was about to send someone to send He Zhen out of the border. At this time, Zheng Lang's book conveyed by the court arrived.

Fan Yong's face turned gloomy after seeing it.

Zheng Lang is still a young boy in his heart, but Zheng Lang is a crow-mouthed or wise man. Now what he says is effective one by one, which makes him uneasy.

But he faced a difficult problem, and many defected Dangxiang people came, and now all of them were installed. If they were mobilized again and moved to the rear, these people would be very uneasy and the funds required were even higher.

I didn't know what to do for a moment, so I thought about it all night, and the next day I called He Zhen to have a banquet.

During the banquet, Fan Yong suddenly asked, "Did your master sincerely submit to the court this time?"

He Zhen uses the lord, and Fan Yong uses the lord.

But He Zhen did not call Li Yuanhao the emperor, and Fan Yong did not care.

"Mr. Fan is truly surrendering. The imperial army is majestic and cannot be violated. My head and the king knows that he is wrong."

It seems to be...

Tens of thousands of troops actually dealt with more than 1,000 Song troops and were killed and fled in panic. What's the fear of such a Xixia army? Fan Yong carefully observed He Zhen's expression, and when he saw him, he looked so frightened that he didn't seem to be a fake, and believed in him five points.

And he couldn't understand that there were three villages from Jinming Village to Tumen. He believed that he could instigate him, but instigating one village and two villages would not work. Unless he instigated against Jinming Village itself, Jinming Village is Li Shibin's base camp. Do these people dare to say to the generals from Li Shibin's nose, "Surrender to my master Yuan Hao," Li Shibin is known as the Iron Wall Master, is it impossible to do so?"

However, Fan Yong felt a little worried about what Zheng Lang did in the past few years, and then tentatively said: "I think you are a fake surrender. He deliberately used the traitor to insert it into Jinming Village to rebel against the generals under Li Shibin from Jinming Village. He cooperated with the inside and outside to take down Jinming Village and attack our Yanzhou City. Do you think you can't see through your conspiracy!"
