Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The scouts rushed in and said loudly, "Report Zheshuai, we have found traces of Linzhou soldiers and horses on the other side of the Yellow River."

"What about people?"

The scout hesitated for a moment and said, "Outside."

A commander named Wang Lin was brought in.

"Zhe... Zhe handsome!"

His voice trembled.

"you are?"

"The last general will be Linzhou Zhewen's commander Wang Lin!"

"Where is Zheyun Ren?" Zhe Keqiu's voice also began to tremble.

"us……"

"Say!" Zhe Keqiu squeezed out a word between his teeth.

"We were ambushed by the Song Army, and the entire army... the entire army has been wiped out..."

As soon as he said this, there was a dead silence in the tent.

It is impossible for Linzhou soldiers and horses to come.

The soldiers and horses of Baode City failed to penetrate the flanks of the Song Army today, and the main force in the front was suppressed and beaten.

Everything is telling the truth, and Wu Jie has firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

"Zhe Shuai, it's better to go to Baode City to recharge your batteries, take a break and fight again." Wang Zheng said.

"In the current situation, once the army discovers that we have entered Baode City, it will inevitably lead to a larger-scale rout." Zhe Keqiu said heavily.

It is impossible for him to bring everyone into the city, and he must abandon some of them.

"Abandon the car to save the handsome man." Wang Zheng said calmly, "Wu Jie came deep, food and grass may not be sufficient, Daizhou will soon receive news that the main force of the Song army is coming to Fugu, Wanyan will not let go If this opportunity is used to prolong the war, so what if Wu Jie wins at the technical level, the strategic constraints will force him to retreat, and he will soon fall into a situation where he will be attacked by two fronts."

The battle situation is ever-changing, and the current situation can only be considered for a moment, and it has to be like this.

Wang Zheng continued: "The Song army will definitely not be able to attack the city in a short time. Waiting for the Jin army's action, we still don't know who will win!"

"It was ordered to rectify overnight and withdraw into Baode City from the North City Gate!"

In the second half of the night, Wu Jie didn't sleep either.

When the fight really started, Wu Jie didn't even want a girl, so he just sat in the coach's camp.

Wei Xiang said: "Part of Guo Hao's cavalry has already crossed the Yellow River, and they can all come back tomorrow."

Wei Xiang seemed very excited, and he continued: "Today we dealt a heavy blow to the rebel army, and I heard that many rebel troops have already fled, and we will definitely win tomorrow!"

"The best choice now is to enter Baode City!" Wu Jie said, "to prolong the war and use the Jin Army as the rear support."

Wei Xiang was stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "Then our army is facing a two-front battle?"

"Taking Baode City in the fastest way, you can get defeated, and then return to Taiyuan. There is also a time limit for Wanyan Saliyin. If the Daizhou Jin army is mobilized on a large scale, it will definitely alarm our Zhaozhou soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty. He even brought Hebei Yuefei soldiers and horses."

"Wouldn't the war expand in an all-round way?"

"That's right." Wu Jie, who had experienced the third battle between Song and Jin, seemed calm, "The war will rise to the political level when it reaches a certain level. If the Kingdom of Jin wishes to expand the war, the two sides will definitely go to war again. Isn't that true?" We can decide on East Road."

"Then what should we do?"

"Quick defeat can be achieved, and taking back Linzhou and Fugu is what we should do!"

Wei Xiang suddenly admired Wu Jie.

Wu Jie continued: "The order will be passed on. The artillery battalion will assemble the trebuchets overnight, and tomorrow I will blow down Baode City! I don't believe that he can dig three feet of ground and bury himself!"

"Yes!"

It was just dawn on the second day, but the left wing of the Zhejia Army was seen, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the screams continued all night.

Many were so badly injured that they couldn't get medical attention and could only lie there waiting to bleed out and almost die.

The place where the forward battalions of the two sides fought was also horrible.

The Zhejia army's camp did not move, but the Chinese army had withdrawn to Baode City overnight.

There is basically no confrontation outside the city.

The former army leader He Zhongxing was captured in a panic, and the rest fled overnight, and the wounded were injured.

By this time, part of the Zhejia army that was still holding on was also defeated by the Song army one after another, and then captured.

On April 25th, the second day after the defeat in the positional battle, the general of Daizhou Commander Wanyan Salihe received the news that Wu Jie's main force had left Taiyuan and was advancing into Fugu.

Wan Yan Sa Li laughed loudly and said: "Wu Jie, how dare you go out of Taiyuan, I really think I dare not come to Taiyuan city!"

Chapter 678 I'm a wise gentleman who likes to set things right (third update)

On April 25, the Daizhou Golden Army began to gather.

Daizhou is only 300 miles away from Taiyuan, and the journey from Daizhou to Taiyuan is not all mountain roads. With the marching speed of the Jin army, it can be reached in six days.

Wanyan Saliha had always held a grudge against Wu Jie. In the third year of Jingkang, he had a fight with Wu Jie in Taiyuan and was beaten to tears on the spot.

Since then, he has the title of "Crying Lord", which has always shamed him.

Defeating Wu Jie is the only goal in his life right now.

On this day, the Jin army sent troops from Daizhou.

At the last quarter of the time (nine o'clock in the morning), Tokyo City, the Imperial Palace.

After Zhang Jiucheng came out of the Prime Minister's Pushe Hall in the East Mansion, he walked towards Wende Hall together with Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding said: "The construction of large-scale official roads in Hedong and Hebei is reasonable from the perspective of the country's governance strategy, but recently there has been a lot of trouble with the Ministry of Households and the Jianyuan, and the treasury has just had surplus money. I'm afraid I can't stand such a toss."

Zhang Jiuzheng didn't speak, he listened attentively.

After entering the officialdom for a year, Zhang Jiucheng has grown rapidly.

With the promotion of Prime Minister Zhao Ding, his official position will naturally rise steadily.

Zhao Ding sighed, and said, "I also asked Xie Qian to tentatively mention the bank loan for road construction, which caused a lot of reaction. Many people opposed it. You have to be mentally prepared."

"I understand, sir, thank you for reminding me."

"You'd better really understand that you are in charge of this matter, and there will be many people attacking and impeaching you, which will even make you sleepless at night."

Zhang Jiucheng's heart sank.

This is the case in officialdom, the higher the position, the greater the pressure.

Countless people are staring at you, as long as you make a slight mistake, someone will stand up and make trouble.

Humans are natural animals, but they are also socialized.

Human essence, or humanity, is shaped by social relations.

It is difficult for people not to care about other people's evaluation and opinion of themselves.

There are only a few who can do this for thousands of years.

When the voice of opposition is too loud, people will fall into self-doubt, and everyone will.

Even a strong-willed person like Wang Anshi would do the same.

Therefore, the role of prime minister is essential.

The prime minister is the buffer bridge between the emperor and the officials.

When the emperor governs, the prime minister will execute it. If there are opponents, the voice and pressure of opposition will basically go to the prime minister.

This will protect the balance and tranquility of the emperor on a psychological level.

When the prime minister was abolished in the Ming Dynasty, the buffer was lost, and all the pressure went directly to the emperor himself. The strange behavior of the emperor in the Zhu family was more or less related to this excessive pressure.

For Zhao Ning, the key person to ease the pressure is Zhao Ding.

And every New Deal also has a specific person in charge, and this person in charge is the central point that bears tremendous pressure.

Chen Dong, Li Guang, Yang Yizhong, Zhao Gou, and Qin Hui.

Now it's Zhang Jiucheng's turn.

At this time, Zhang Bangchang was in Wende Hall.

"You mean, the relationship between Dali's monarch and his ministers is harmonious?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers of the Dali Kingdom is harmonious."

"Do you also respect me, Da Song?" Zhao Ning continued to ask.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you should make offerings every year, and send envoys to greet the emperor Sheng'an every year. Your Majesty, you should know these things." Zhang Bangchang continued.

"What about the war horse, did you encounter any problems when buying the war horse?"

"Dali Kingdom is very cooperative."

"Where's the tea?"

"It's also very cooperative!"

Zhao Ning glanced at Wang Zonglian who was on the side. Wang Zonglian coughed and said, "Zhang Zineng, the relationship between the monarch and ministers of the Dali Kingdom is only a superficial harmony. The Gao family has been plotting against the Duan family. This is your negligence."

"This..." Zhang Bangchang felt that Zhao Guan's words today were a bit strange, and when Wang Zonglin came out to say this again, Zhang Bangchang felt even more suspicious.

Wang Zonglian continued: "Back then, Gao Shengtai abolished the ruler of Dali and stood on his own. Later, he was forced to return the government to the Duan Clan, but the Gao Clan's evil heart is not dead, the court has already noticed it!"

Zhang Bangchang stopped talking, he felt that Zhao Guanjia and Wang Taiwei were going to have a game today.

If Gao Shunzhen, the Prime Minister of Dali, had a different intention, he would not believe it, but the final interpretation is clearly in the hands of Zhao Guanjia.

"Zhang Qing, scouts have frequently reported to me that the Gao family is plotting a new round of rebellion!" Zhao Guanjia said, "I am going to send troops to Dali, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial court is now investing troops in Goryeo. If they invest in the southwest again, there may be..."

"You are not what you should worry about, I will arrange a good team."

"If His Majesty wants to help the Duan family to help the country, it is naturally a blessing from the three lives of the subjects of Dali Kingdom."

"Okay, you step back first, I don't want anyone else to know about this."

"I will retire first."

As soon as Zhang Bangchang arrived at the door, he met Zhao Ding.

"Great Minister."

Zhao Ding nodded, and led Zhang Jiuzheng into Wende Hall.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Exemption."

Holding a document in both hands, Zhang Jiucheng said, "Your Majesty, this is a detailed policy statement from Tokyo to Hedong Guandao."

Zhao Ning took it, he read it carefully, and said, "What do you think?"

"I thought this was just the beginning."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"If the salary is paid to migrant workers by handing in banknotes, this plan is feasible, and it can be implemented in many ways in the future. The focus is on controlling regions and private prices."

"What area do you mean?"

"I believe that these are mainly to solve the problem of the imperial court's control over the north. It can be implemented mainly in the north of the Yellow River, and it does not need to spread to the south. Otherwise, the scope of handover and issuance is too large and it is easy to get out of control."

Zhao Ning nodded.

Zhao Ning stood up and walked to the map. He looked at the map for a long time and said, "The road is built to Yanmen Pass. If Wu Jie can take it back to Fugu, I want to open a discussion in Fugu."

"Discussion?" Zhao Ding asked doubtfully.

"The battle with the barbarians outside the Great Wall." Zhao Ning pointed to Monan and said, "I heard from the scouts that there are many Mongol tribes here. They were attached to the Liao Kingdom back then. After the Liao Kingdom fell, they established themselves on the grassland. I want to win them over with the market.”

"What commodities does Your Majesty want to use?" Zhao Ding said, "The barbarians have very little demand for silk and ceramics."

"tea."

In this day and age, who can refuse tea?

Whether it is the Qiang people in the northwest or the Mughal tribes in the south and north of the desert, their eating habits are mainly meat.
