He led the prisoners into the city, Jiang Kui flattered him, and Zheng Lang made him silent. Victory was inevitable. Wang Lun was not as good as himself in strategy, and he also had the upper hand in morality. Not only did the people in Jianghuai feel at ease, but he had some political achievements in Taipingzhou and Hangzhou, and the people's hearts were beneficial to him. He prepared more fully. His combat effectiveness was far better than the rebels. Since Wang Lun was preparing to escape without intending to fight, his soldier's hearts had begun to decline, and his two rafts made the morale of the rebels even lower. Various reasons led to the rapid end of the battle.

The wounded began to be treated, and the tenacious resistance of some rebels caused the 19 soldiers to be sacrificed. If it were not for the protection of armor, more soldiers would have been sacrificed, 35 were injured, twenty-six injured, and nine were seriously injured, and they would have to be discharged from the army from then on.

Sixty-five prisoners of war were captured, of which 18 were surrendered after resisting, and Zheng Lang was killed on the spot. There was no ambiguity at all.

It was pitiful when the uprising was happening, but after the uprising they gradually became devils, including using good women as shields. There were countless people who were killed along the way.

Eighty-six people escaped, and Zheng Lang stood on Gaogang and counted one by one under the protection of several guards. In the evening, under the pursuit of the fierce border troops, he shot fifty-seven people again, and twenty-nine people still ran away. However, where to escape? At this time, nearly two thousand troops were searched and captured from all directions, and countless yamen runners and slaughtered men participated. Even the people were very disgusted and assisted the government in capturing them. It was impossible to escape from this Tianluo Net.

One hundred and three rebels were killed, which means that the number of rebels in this rebel army was 264, and more than a dozen of them were desperate people absorbed in Gaoyou. It turned out that there were only 240 people, but they actually allowed more than a dozen officials and soldiers from the relevant prefectures to retreat to the hundred houses.

Zheng Lang had known this result, but looking at the information, he just kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

It would not be possible to not change. Even if Lu Yijian kindly advised him, he would attack the army.

The women of good families were sent back one by one, and the seized wealth of 100,000 yuan was withdrawn to reward soldiers, and 30,000 yuan was used to provide pensions to the families of victims in various states. Compared with many victims, this amount was small, and it also represented a little bit of the court's desire. The others were mainly gold, silver and jewelry, and they were lightly entrusted to the capital.

The next day, Zheng Lang left Tianchang and rushed towards the capital because the Western Xia envoy arrived.

When he arrived in Bozhou, Xia Shu came out and took Zheng Lang's hand and said, "So fast?"

"Some bandits Xia Gong don't have to be surprised."

"Xingzhi is still shocked. If Xingzhi brought thousands of elite soldiers, I am not surprised. I only brought more than 200 people to annihilate the bandits so quickly. Xingzhi is truly a civil and military talent of the Zhuge Wuhou Wei Fuguo."

"Mr. Xia, you can't praise me. I still have self-knowledge. How dare I compare with Zhuge Wuhou and Wei Rui?" Zheng Lang was happy. If he had Wei Rui's martial arts strategy, he would have pacified the Western Xia long ago. How could he drag this big tail? He would have to hurry back to Beijing to deal with this mess.

"If you take it, Xingzhi knows that as long as you return from the Khitan safely, I will have the hope of rebirth in the Song Dynasty." Xia Shu continued to praise it, from his heart. And Zheng Lang's pragmatic and gentle style also made him like it very much.

Zheng Lang also values ​​feelings. See how Zheng Lang evaluates himself fairly and has made contributions and demerits. Even if he talks about some of his bad things, Xia Feng is convinced. He has done badly in these places, but he has not been tainted, and his achievements are not hidden. On the other hand, look at Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Pang Ji. These three people have all received their kindness, so why did they not say a word? He even suspected that Fan Zhongyan instructed the gentleman to launch an attack on him. The prime minister in the court had only those positions, and if he didn't squeeze himself out, how could he get on the throne?

Don’t blame him for judging a gentleman with a careful heart. In fact, he is a villain, a real villain. Not only does he think this way, but many people think this way. What does it actually have to do with Fan Zhongyan? However, who made Fan Zhongyan the eldest brother of the gentleman party? So after Fan Zhongyan was demoted, he was very sad, wandering, wandering everywhere. Xia Shu is called repaying kindness with kindness and grudges with grudges. If you let me wander, why don’t I let you wander?

Zheng Lang didn't know that he had this idea, otherwise he would stop and have a good conversation with Xia Shu to explain.

I was in a hurry to return to Beijing, and I knew that Xia Shu would show his goodwill, but he didn't stop. He only had a few conversations, drank a cup of tea, and then left Bozhou. At this time, the capital was arguing.

First, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan joined hands to write a letter. I saw the use of troops in the northwest. If there is command and training in order, the soldiers will be willing to use their lives. If they refer to the use of the people inappropriately, the soldiers will be arrogant and lazy, and they will not be subject to the slander, and they will often lead to failure. This is a preface for the next thing, but the previous comment was mainly about decentralization. Many of the soldiers in the border are elderly, sick and ineffective, so they should choose early. Please ask the court to be a master of the Ministry of Justice, the squad and the

When the officials approached the upper court, they chose three people who knew about border affairs. Two of them went to Shaanxi Road, one went to Hedong Road, and the other soldiers were stationed under the jurisdiction of Gouji. They chose the soldiers who were in charge of food. If they were old, had heavy hands and feet, were weak and could not bear to wear a belt, and were foolish and had no spirit, they could not be in charge of the subordinates. They would sit down and report, send them back to the detention, and make arrangements. Then they would choose those with high martial arts skills, and they would be promoted to one or two yuan, and they would be given power first. Then they would be ordered to relocate according to their capital. The generals would obtain personnel and increase their spirits.

Fan Zhongyan made a speech alone and made an addition.

I saw that the imperial guards sent to the imperial guards to the border, including the village troops and merchants, and the soldiers in the south, and there were also small and cowardly people in the commands. When they saw it, they could not bear to wear teachings and read them. They asked to be granted the imperial guards in all directions and wasted money and food. Today, 5,000 troops were sent to Qinzhou Tiantun, and the troops were replaced by the border. The Qinzhou Tiantun was made by Han Qi. Han Qi regretted it later, but what he said, so he remained silent.

Fan Zhongyan took care of his comrades' face, and did not point it out, and did not say it was right. He continued to ask the court to carefully select the people who were not able to wear a belt, so that they could not let them go. All the elderly and sick people arranged with the remaining personnel. All the commanders who were old and sick should also choose and arrange them. Among the ten commanders, select those who have achieved merit and have high martial arts skills, and be promoted to one or two yuan, and be in charge of the activities. If there is no choice among the ten commanders in this command, they will choose and take charge of the activities within the commander. The determined martial arts skills are judged by bows, crossbows, fighting power and shooting skills.

Zheng Lang had already done these things on Jingyuan Road, but Zheng Lang only did not say anything. At that time, the war was in critical condition, and all the big guys were amused and crying in the capital, so they could only let Zheng Lang do it in the northwest.

But Zheng Lang not only chose, but also trained the army. While training, the Jingyuan Road army gradually formed its combat effectiveness and became the strongest army in the four routes. However, Fan Zhongyan could not copy Zheng Lang's method, which was supported by the wealth brought by the Shiyi. It was impossible for the whole country to learn from the Jingyuan Road method without the financial resources.

Another difference is that disarmament has been expanded to the entire Shaanxi and Hedong.

At this time, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi did not know Zheng Lang's intention. The reason why Zheng Lang defeated Ding Wang Lun was to make the strategy of Fan and Han implement it, but Zheng Lang's plan was even bigger. His goal was to the entire Song Dynasty army, imperial guards, wing troops, township troops, and foreign troops.

A major operation was performed on all branches of the Song Dynasty!

It is an extremely huge plan. Once successful, at least 300,000 or 400,000 ban soldiers will be laid off to save more than 10 million in military spending for the country in a year and make the entire Song army stronger. This time, not only will it fight with the opposition and conservatives, but it may also try its best to convince Zhao Zhen, who has always lacked a sense of security in his heart!

As long as this is done, Zheng Lang plans to go home and rest for a while. It is too difficult to survive in the court at this time. If the Qingli New Policy is really launched, he may become a mouse in the bellows and suffer from both ends.

However, Ouyang Xiu played another disgraceful role.

Zheng Lang is not very disgusted with Ouyang Xiu's evaluation. His selfishness is definitely not as good as Xia Shuzhong. It cannot be said that Ouyang Xiu is selfless. With his never criticism of the emperor, Ouyang Xiu's virtue has a big problem.

But it is not as dark as Xia Shu, compared to Sima Guang.

But Ouyang Xiu's biggest problem is that he is self-righteous, without the vision of Lu Yijian, and he thinks he is right, and he insists on others obeying his opinions. The more knowledge he is, the more harm the self-righteous anger brings. It is luckily that the Zhao Zhen Dynasty also had a clear understanding of Zhao Zhen and Zheng Lang at this time. Don't think that he was inaction and actually had a good way, but the means were brilliant, including countless major crises in the Song Dynasty, which were resolved by Zhao Zhen invisibly, and also party struggles. The party struggles were very serious in the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, but did not cause any harm. It was because Zhao Zhen used some superb means to resolve them invisibly. Therefore, the harm brought by Ouyang Xiu was not as good as Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

Song Shenzong was good and had pioneering spirit, but he lacked Zhao Zhen's skills, so Wang Anshi's rampage formed a serious party struggle with Sima Guang's evil spirit.

But Ouyang Xiu plays a destructive role at all times.

Originally, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan wrote a letter to attract Zhao Zhen's attention, but Ouyang Xiu made another memorial and told Guo Chengyou about it.

The court used Guo Chengyou as the calming arrangement, but I thought that the country used military forces for five or six years to defeat the power of the court and trapped the creatures in the world. How could it be? It cannot be said that the Song Dynasty was a victorious country. Although Zheng Lang won two great victories and recovered all the territory south of Xiaoguan, it was the territory of the Song Dynasty in the past, but it had no real jurisdiction and was not considered to expand territory. The strict meaning of several battles was defensive wars, and at the beginning of the war, it was a war to go on an expedition and wipe out the Western Xia, which was still very far from this goal.

Ouyang Xiu said that it was reasonable to defeat the power of the court. A small Xixia family had only more than 700,000 households, less than half of the population in Shaanxi. If it was so difficult to fight, it would be a defeat.

Why? The court adhered to the common rules and refused to use materials more than they did. Knowing that villains were given heavy responsibilities, and even failing, they would never regret it. Whenever they were eliminated and asked the ministers, they would say that even if they knew that they were not, there would be no one else to leave. Even if they were not, they would even be filled with words, saying, "Who do you think you can use them?" I often heard this and sighed. The so-called "no one else" is that there is no one in the world?"

It makes sense, there are people in the world, but Ouyang Xiu, do you dare to use it? For example, Zhang Yuan and others did not win the first place, but they were a bit distorted, and there were also some merchants and peddlers in the market. Among these people, there were some heroes, but they were not from the imperial examination. If they really used it, what would Ouyang Xiu say that he was the orthodox scholar-official?

Compared to employing people, although Wang Anshi was radical, his statement was more positive. Ouyang Xiu could only talk about it in vain. One used the favorite ministers of foreign relatives as important officials, and the other used the imperial examination literati as important officials. The effect was similar, with fifty steps and hundreds of steps.

It is also said that Ge Huaimin is in the west, and everyone in the world knows that it is impossible. At that time, the people who argued that they would give up Huaimin, but they were not allowed to change it. Who said that it was just that Fan Zhongyan said that Ge Huaimin was not available, and Zheng Lang knew that it was not available, but he did not say that, how could the people in the world come from? Continue to talk about it, Chengyou’s mediocre talents were not as good as Huaimin. In Chanzhou, he only knew how to build a city and almost had a rebellion. How could he really settle down? I think the court did not know that Chengyou was not talented, but the people who argued only said that, for example, should advance, no one else. Today, the Khitan was in a heart, and the disaster was revealed. People from China and foreign countries saw that the country was neglecting external troubles and rushed to the north, and everyone offered their own opinions, wishing to prepare for it early. After suddenly seeing this, who would not be worried?

The court was asked to demote Guo Chengyou to another place.

Guo Chengyou is really incompetent, but this memorial cannot be written like this. To put it simply, the real road is a key place in the north, and a capable minister needs to be sent to guard it. Guo Chengyou is not capable enough, so let's change another person. I believe Zhao Zhen will listen.

Zhao Zhen also listened to it and changed Guo Chengyou to govern Xiangzhou. But he felt a little uncomfortable. Ouyang Xiu said before that there was scabies in the northwest, and the uprising was the greatest danger, and now he said that the Khitan was the greatest danger. But Zhao Zhen was not a fool. The Khitans were hostile, but they were not as hostile as the Western Xia. The uprising was mostly caused by drought and heavy accumulation in the past. Who was the country’s greatest danger? Where can I put this little wealth?

Thinking of this way, you can think of a lot.

Although Guo Chengyou was incompetent, Zhao Zhen had no way to judge this possibility for a while. At least when he was the crown prince, he once made up the Zuo Qingdao and led the left envoy of Chunfang. After ascending the throne, he was moved to the deputy envoy of the West Court and the retreating house of the Pavilion Road, and then moved to the deputy envoy of the West Shanggemen. He was Zhao Zhen's confidant, so he was in charge of the Zhendinglu army.

My confidant, everyone I use is not a good person, a villain, or a traitor (can't it be dazzling?), only your sect is a good minister and a capable minister. Which is the reason? In the memorial of Ouyang Xiu, he put down one big hat after another, making Zhao Zhen feel dazed. He thought of Wang Juzheng, Ma Duan, Xia Shu, Su Shen, Lu Yijian... The country is in great danger at the moment, and Zhao Zhen still has to rely on Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others. He didn't say it, and he has never said it, but this kind of doubt is getting heavier and he is in his heart...

This also led to the fact that Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi's two suggestions were followed, but no edict was issued to implement them.

Or simply describe it in one sentence, good intentions but bad things happen.

In fact, compared to Guo Chengyou's hero, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi's proposals are the real major event. If the country wants to become better, we should find ways to cooperate with Han Fan to implement these two points, rather than creating miscellaneous matters and dividing Zhao Zhen's thoughts.

But soon everyone's attention changed. In July, Yuanhao sent Luniru Dingyushe, Liaoli Wangyuhuan, Zhang Yanshou and Yang Shousu, and Song envoy Shao Liangzuo to the Song Dynasty to continue negotiations. The Song Dynasty proposed nine items, nine items with great sincerity. However, when Yuanhao saw that the Song Dynasty was weak, he actually spoke up. Not only did he say that the man would not be a subordinate (that is, he was Zhao Zhen's son, but he refused to be a minister of the Song Dynasty, he also tried to blackmail and turned into a terrible eleven items.

There are actually people in the court who really want to agree. This person is still a super big boss, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty - the Prime Minister Yan Shu who wrote good poems! (To be continued...!~!
