Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Hasn't Zhan Dafang asked to be killed?" Zhao Ning asked intentionally.

"This matter may be relatively involved, and I still have something to say to the officials."

"Go, go in and talk."

Zhao Ning interrupted Cai Mao on purpose before.

In fact, monarchs and ministers know it well.

How could Zhao Ning not be clear about what Cai Mao wanted to say?

Old and treacherous is used to describe Cai Mao.

Zhao Ning sat down and said, "Cai Xianggong can speak up if he has anything to say."

"Your Majesty, if this matter continues to be investigated, I am afraid that the current New Deal will be shaken."

"how do I say this?"

"Isn't Zhan Dafang an official of the New Deal?" Cai Mao said, "And Zhuang Zaiqing, they were strongly recommended by Mr. Qin!"

The core of Cai Mao's words is the last sentence: They are strongly recommended by Mr. Qin!

Taking advantage of Qin Hui's absence in the capital, it was obvious that Cai Mao planned to stab Qin Hui several times in the back.

Zhao Ning already fucking knew that Cai Mao was going to say this.

"Cai Xianggong means that Qin Hui is behind all this?"

"Qin Xianggong is loyal to the country, how could he do such a despicable and shameless thing, I am just worried that if the investigation continues like this, more people recommended by Qin Xianggong will be found." Cai Mao's tone was sincere, and those who didn't know thought he and Qin Hui were related Forget the year.

While saying that Qin Hui was loyal, he also said that most of the people involved in the case were Qin Hui's people.

"Then Mr. Cai thinks, who will be found next?"

"Where does this minister know, it's just that the minister is worried that he will be out of control."

Why don't you just say that Qin Hui's son will be found out!

"It's okay, I've always been stern and impartial, and if the law is not strict, the order will not work!" Zhao Ning said calmly.

Cai Mao also couldn't see what the official Zhao's attitude was.

"Your Majesty is wise, I feel ashamed every time I think that I can't share my worries for Your Majesty."

"It's getting late, Mr. Cai, let's go back and rest."

"The old minister retire."

After Cai Mao left, Zhao Ning fell into deep thought.

The Qingzhou case involved Han Shizhong. Is it as simple as dealing with Han Shizhong?

In fact, Zhao Ning knew many things clearly.

He even thought about killing Qin Hui immediately, but then he thought, Qin Hui is dead, so is Cai Mao better than Qin Hui?

Wouldn't he play tricks behind his back?

And that He Li who sat dozed off in the political affairs hall all day, didn't he secretly stand in line?

The current structure of the power center needs to be changed!

Zhao Ning already had an arrangement in mind.

On May [-], when the political turmoil in Tokyo continued.

Li Cui's army in Qingyuan Mansion entered a state of strict defense.

At noon on May [-], Fucheng.

Yue Fei had just received an order from the Military and Political Yuan, and he summoned Yang Zaixing.

"Yang Zaixing, I reported this to the imperial court earlier, and the Military and Political Council issued a document, and the official personally pardoned your crimes. I hope you can join the army and serve the imperial court." Yue Fei said earnestly.

"Thank you Yue Shuai, what am I capable of, let Yue Shuai take the risk to intercede for me."

"This commander cherishes talents. The world is not peaceful today. Gold thieves are causing chaos, and Xixia's thieves are not dead. One more talent like you will reduce the suffering of the common people. It is nothing for me to take a little risk."

"Yue Shuai is righteous, someone is willing to throw his head for Yue Shuai!"

"No! You should be shedding your blood for the imperial court! For the people of the world!"

"Yes!"

Just as Yue Fei was discussing with Yang Zaixing, Niu Gao walked in from the outside.

"Yue Shuai, people from the Military and Political Academy are here."

"Oh, please come in."

Not long after, a young man came in, and he said, "Liu Hui, head of the Military Defense Department of the Military and Political Academy, has met Yue Shuai."

"You don't need to be too polite, what's your honor in Fucheng?"

"Yue Shuai, according to the order given by the Military and Political Council, the gold thief has gone south to Taiyuan, and ordered Hebei East Road to enter a state of defense against barbarians!"

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the people around him changed drastically.

"The gold thief has gone south!" Niu Gao said.

"About half a month ago, I arrived in Taiyuan." Liu Hui said.

Seeing the reactions of these generals and officials by the Hebei East Road Economic Strategy, Liu Hui was relieved. At least he could judge that the gold thieves did not invade Hebei East Road.

"Zhang Xian, what's the latest news?" Yue Fei asked.

Chapter 691 The battle is about to start, soldiers approach Yanmen Pass (first update)

"Reporting to Shuai Yue, there has been no movement from the Jin Army in Zhongshan Mansion recently, and no gold thieves have been found transporting grain and recruiting civilian husbands." Zhang Xian said.

Niu Gao said: "Could it be that the target of the Jin army is only east of the river?"

After Yue Fei quickly read the edict of the Military and Political Council, he fell into deep thought.

After a while, Yue Fei said: "Hedong Economic Strategy sent Wu Jie to lead the army to attack Fuzhou, and the Jin people took the opportunity to go south to Taiyuan. .”

"It turned out that Wu Jinqing attacked Fuzhou." Niu Gao said, "I don't know what the situation is now, but I heard that Fuzhou is a place where the Zhe family has been operating for a hundred years. There are many soldiers and generals, and there are Jin people to support them."

Zhang Xian also said: "Wu Jinqing went north, and the Jin people went south. I am afraid that the ambition is not in Taiyuan, but in breaking Wu Jinqing's back."

"Wu Shuai conquered Fuzhou and was ordered by the imperial court, so let's not talk about it." Yue Fei said, "But in the current situation, we can do something."

Everyone looked at Yue Fei, Wang Gui asked: "Yue Shuai, what should we do?"

"Song and Jin negotiated peace, and the Jin people went south to Taiyuan to break the peace treaty first, so our army has a reason to send troops." Yue Fei said.

Now that the edicts of the Military and Political Council have come, the defense of Hebei East Road against barbarians and preparations for war is equivalent to entering a wartime state.

According to the provisions of the "Great Song Jingkang Military Administration", when entering a wartime state, the economic and strategic envoys can have the right to send troops temporarily, and there is no need for the Military and Political Council to report to the emperor and wait for the emperor's instructions.

In other words, Yue Fei at this time can mobilize the large army to go north to fight the Jin people head-on at any time.

As soon as they heard that it was time to send troops, and it was justifiable to send troops, the generals immediately became excited.

Wang Gui immediately said: "Shuai Yue, give the order! My sons and daughters are waiting day and night!"

Zhang Xian also said excitedly: "Yue Shuai, over the past year or so, we have fought dozens of rounds with that birdman Wanyan Yinshu from Zhongshan Mansion. If the wind has not fallen, why not take this opportunity to recover Zhongshan!"

Niu Gao also said excitedly: "Shuai Yue, the people of Zhongshan Mansion are all looking forward to Master Wang going north day and night!"

"Zhang Xian!"

"The end is here!"

"Explore the movement of the Jin army in the Hejian Mansion again, and report back quickly!"

"Yes!"

"Wang Gui!"

"The end is here!"

"Send someone to visit Zhongshan Mansion!"

"Yes!"

"Niugao! Quickly organize the front army and prepare for battle at any time!"

"The last general takes orders!"

"Yang Zaixing!"

"exist!"

"I will give you the post of Commander of the First Battalion of the First Army of the Shenwu Former Army. I hope you can gain military merit!"

The commander is equivalent to a small regiment leader, commanding 500 people.

The first battalion of the former army's first army was cavalry.

This can be regarded as taking good care of Yang Zaixing.

Of course, opportunities are given by others, and whether you can grasp them depends on your own true ability.

After all, this kind of direct promotion must make military achievements quickly, just like Zhao Ning quickly promoted Yue Fei.

Yang Zaixing suddenly excitedly said: "The last general will live up to Yue Shuai!"

In the past few days, Wanyan Sa Liyao, who had been besieging Taiyuan Mansion with pride, quickly left Taiyuan and headed north in a fit of anger and fear.

He couldn't sleep for several days, and he scolded Wu Jie a hundred times in his heart!

On the nineteenth day of the fifth month, Wanyan Saliha arrived at Shiling Pass.

At this time, Wu Jie's main force had left Dingxiang and arrived in Wutai County.

Wutai County was empty, and was quickly captured by Wu Jie, but Wu Jie still did not stay in Wutai County, but went north from Wutai County after a short supply of supplies here.

The Song army marched in the mountains and mountain roads at the northern foothills of Mount Wutai.

It only took Wu Jie three days to cross the foothills of Wutai Mountain and enter the boundary of Dai County.

The famous Yanmen Pass is on the Hengshan Mountains in the north of Dai County.

Yanmen Pass can be traced back to King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States Period, who established Yanmen County. Later, Li Mu guarded Yanmen and defeated the Huns many times.

Why Yanmen Pass is so important.

This is related to the peculiar topography of northern China.

There are two mountain ranges on Hedong Road (Shanxi Province), the north-south Luliang Mountains to the west, and the dragon-like Taihang Mountains to the east.

The so-called Shanxi in later generations refers to the west of Taihang Mountain.

As for the Hengshan mountain range, it is located in the north of Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, stretching horizontally for hundreds of miles, separating the East Road in the south and Yunzhongfu (Datong) in the north.

Exiting the Yanmen pass in Daizhou is Yunzhong Mansion, another battleground for military strategists.

When the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, it will definitely control Yunzhong.

It's like knowing how to master Yandi.

Generally, the Central Plains dynasty will set up the logistics center in Taiyuan. Daizhou is an important town on the Great Wall, and Yunzhong after leaving Yanmen Pass from Daizhou is the strategic buffer zone of Hedong, where the barbarian army is blocked.

As for Yandi in the east, it is Hebei's strategic defensive zone.

Both the Han and Tang Dynasties stationed heavy troops in Yunzhong. In the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Yunzhong was renamed Datong. Datong in the Ming Dynasty had 72 fortresses, which was the front line against the Mongols.

This shows the strategic importance of this place.

At this time, Wu Jie can reach the land in the cloud as long as he leaves Yanmen Pass from Daizhou.

The Great Song Dynasty dreamed of recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, among which Yunzhou and Shuozhou were both located in Yunzhong Mansion, that is, outside Yanmen Pass.

On May 23, Song Junbing approached the city of Daizhou.

To Wu Jie's surprise, Daizhou's defenses were also weak.

Wanyan Salihe transferred all the main force to Taiyuan this time, which undoubtedly gave Wu Jie a chance.

On the same day, the Song army attacked Daizhou in turn.

On May 24, in Daizhouke, all the two thousand gold troops in the city surrendered.

On May 25, it took only one day for the Song army to take back Yanmen Pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This is the case with Yanmen Pass. If you attack from outside the pass, it will be extremely difficult. If you fight from inside the pass, the difficulty will be much, much less.
