Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

After returning to Wende Hall, Zhao Ning met Gao Qiu immediately.

"Is Zheng Xi back?"

"Should be back in two days."

Zhao Ning asked again: "Do you have a list of people who have private business dealings with the Jinren during the investigation in Hebei?"

"Yes." Gao Qiu's heart tightened, Zhao Guan's family suddenly asked about this matter, what was he going to do?

In fact, the Imperial City Division has arranged for people to hide and investigate on the border between Song and Jin for a long time.

Many lists have been collected over the years, but these people have not been moved.

The reason why it doesn't move is because it moves the small fish and disturbs the big fish, which is unnecessary.

When the big fish is really about to be caught, all the small fish are caught, and there must be a lot of news from the small fish.

Combining key evidence and contacting various sources can involve many important people at once.

Lin Yifei has an adulterer, and he's not the only one!

Just like Song Dynasty, he also used his interests to bury a lot of threads in the Kingdom of Jin. Otherwise, why would the King of the Kingdom of Jin have such great influence?

For Zhao Ning, if he wanted to move a big fish, he had to pull out both the middle one and the bottom one.

"If I want to take someone, how long will it take to get the capital?"

"If your Majesty wants to arrest someone, I will send you a letter to Hebei immediately, and you can arrest him immediately."

Zhao Ning nodded, and asked again: "How is Li Hui?"

"He is very happy as the master bookkeeper of Jiaozhou Bank."

"Where's Liu Meng?" Zhao Ning asked suddenly.

"She... this woman must have a problem!" Gao Qiu said hastily, "Her cry... oh no, Chen's eyeliner often pokes into her to inquire about some strange things."

"What's the matter?"

"She asked about Zheng Xi's whereabouts."

"Then do you think she might be a spy?"

"It's possible." Gao Qiu said seriously.

"Look at you Taiwei Gao, you still have a good separation between public affairs and private affairs." Zhao Guanjia laughed.

"The minister only knows how to share the worries of the officials, and everything else is just a means of doing things."

"Go and reveal something to her, and find a way to let her know that Han Qixian and Shi Li'ai have a lot of business with Da Song in private, and they have very close contacts."

"Yes!" After Gao Qiu answered, he was taken aback for a moment, "Officials, Han Qixian and Shi Li'ai seem to have nothing to do with us."

"It doesn't matter, just let her know."

Gao Qiu immediately understood: "The official is wise!"

Time passed quickly, five days passed in a blink of an eye, and Zheng Xi brought Lu Qingliu back to the capital.

Chapter 1240 The barbarians are frightened (first update)

On April 13th, 24th year of Jingkang, the wind in Daqingshan was particularly strong.

On the grassland, groups of black shadows were moving forward.

Seen from a distance, it looks like a large pack of raging wolves, with great momentum, marching in groups.

"Balatu, two hundred miles further south, is where the Jin people said the old city is located. I heard that all the tribes of the grassland, the Jin people, the Central Plains people, and the Khitan people are doing business there."

The person who spoke was a fat man with a dark complexion. He wore his hair and looked like a mound, but his eyes were as fierce as a wolf.

"Ao Ga, I heard that people from the Kelei Department came first, why didn't I see any of them along the way?" Baratu asked curiously.

Ao Ga sneered and said, "The Keled Ministry is full of thunder and rain, and they may not have gone south at all!"

"This is interesting." Baratu looked at the skyline in front of him. It was his first time to visit the Monan Grassland. He said to the people around him, "The grassland here is more lush than ours in Mobei. The atmosphere around you makes you feel more comfortable.”

"Yeah, it's wetter, and the land here is better for farming." Ao Ga also sighed.

Not all nomads hunt, even in places like Mobei, these nomads will find ways to reclaim a small amount of fields.

After all, in the face of survival, any creature will try its best.

The Yinshan Mountain in Monan is where the 400 mm precipitation line is located. If this requirement is met, a large amount of fertile land can be reclaimed.

Therefore, this is also the northernmost part of the direct management of the ancient farming civilization, and further north can only be controlled.

"Balatu, I don't think it's so simple for us to come here to grab the property of the Central Plains people. We should just occupy this area and keep it for ourselves! I'm tired of staying in that place in Mobei, where the birds don't shit. !"

"The Central Plains people are not as easy to deal with as you think. Do you think the Jin people really don't eat their fat and leave it to us?" Baratu said thoughtfully, "If you can grab more, you can get more Grab some and don't linger here too long."

Balatu's thinking is the most qualified grassland thinking.

Grassland thinking is robbery thinking.

The Xiongnu, Rouran, and Turks all have this kind of thinking.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry went south to Yanmen Pass, and within a few days, they captured Yanmen County and more than [-] cities, surrounding Yang Guang in Daizhou.

But after only 33 days, they withdrew.

Because the prairie people themselves know very well that although the Central Plains people are not good at cavalry field battles, they have a very solid foundation for steady fighting. Follow-up reinforcements will continue to be sent in, and they can eliminate their cavalry who come and go like the wind.

Ao Ga was full of dissatisfaction in his heart, and he said angrily: "Then what are you waiting for, go south quickly, I want to snatch all the women from the Central Plains! I want to sleep ten in one night!"

When he said this, the people around seemed to get excited and started cheering loudly.

At this moment, the scout team came back quickly.

"Baratu! Baratu! We found some men from the Ministry of Kret!"

The scouts returned, apparently bringing strangers with them.

Baratu suddenly became curious. He looked at several strangers, and judging from their attire, they were indeed Kree people.

Presumably it was a scout sent out to spy on intelligence.

Baratu asked: "I heard that Tuoli, the eldest son of your Khan, personally led the army to the south?"

"Yes!"

One of the respondents had a look of exhaustion on his face.

"Then where is his army now, tell me, or I will kill you!"

"Forgive me, General, Tuoli's army has been defeated by the Song people."

"What did you say?" Ao Ga was startled, thinking he had heard it wrong, "You said that the army in Tuoli had already been defeated by the Song people?"

"Yes!"

"Nonsense, do you think I don't know Tuoli!" Baratu's expression darkened, "I fought against him the year before last. Tuoli is a bit crazy, but his ability to lead troops to fight is outstanding. How could that be possible? You were defeated by the Song people so quickly! I think you must be deserters!"

"No, no, no, what we said is true! We crossed the Yellow River south with Tuoli, intending to cut off the Song people's retreat and rob the Song people of food and property. Unexpectedly, an armored cavalry suddenly appeared on the grassland, and the whole The army was defeated within half a day, and the whole army was wiped out!"

Speaking of this, these people seemed to recall the scene of that day again, as if they saw those majestic figures and cold killings under the scorching sun again.

Then wept bitterly.

Everyone in Tata's department looked at each other in blank dismay.

"That's impossible! As far as we know, the Kelie people prepared in February and arrived at Yinshan Mountain in March. They were defeated in April?" Ao Ga obviously didn't believe it. He looked at the Kelie people coldly. Lie Ren, "Are you saying that the Central Plains people are stronger than the Jin people?"

"Definitely stronger!"

"Fart! Just those idiots in the Central Plains!" Ao Ga said angrily.

But Baratu looked around nervously, and said, "Notify the whole army, retreat north immediately!"

"Balatu, you're crazy. We finally went south, and now we're withdrawing?" Ao Ga objected immediately.

"If the whole army of Kelei is really wiped out, then we will be used as guns by the Jin people! The Jin people have gone south many times but have not made any money. It can only show that the Song people are stronger than we imagined. Now withdraw troops immediately. The strength of the Kelei Department has been seriously injured, and what we want to rob now is not the Song people, but the Kelei Department!"

Ao Ga, who had reacted, no longer objected, and Tata'er's troops hurried southward, and returned in a hurry before meeting the Song army.

However, the confrontation between the grassland and the Song Dynasty has undergone great changes after this battle.

At noon on April 26th, Yue Fei asked seriously at the yamen of Anbei Governor's Mansion, "Is there no news about Yue Yun?"

Niu Gao said: "Yue Shuai, the last general sent people to inquire everywhere, but there is no news!"

Guo Hao on the side said: "Should we send troops to Mobei to look for it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people outside hurriedly said: "Report! The official Ying is back! The official Ying has entered the city!"

Not long after, Yue Yun and Ah Lahu lost together, and brought Huer Zhahusi to the yamen of Anbei Prefecture.

"The final general will meet Yue Shuai!"

"I heard from Guo Hao that you went to Mobei?" Yue Fei frowned, his tone was severe, and there was even a trace of anger.

"Yes! The last general led Sanqianerlang to Mobei!" Yue Yun replied positively, "This is Huer Zhahusi, the leader of the Kelei Department. The last general will capture him and hand him over to Yue Shuai you!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

Everyone couldn't help looking at Huer Zahusi.

Ah Lahushi immediately stood up and said: "Yue Shuai, the young hero who won the official, three thousand cavalry Ping Kelei, not only the Khan King of the Kelei tribe was arrested, but also the national teachers, nobles, and officials of the Kelei tribe. There are herdsmen, all of whom have been captured and returned, and there are thousands of cattle and sheep!"

Chapter 1241 Undercurrent Surges (Second Change)

Niu Gao couldn't help but walked over, punched Yue Yun, and laughed loudly: "What a boy!"

Including Yang Zaixing, Guo Hao, Li Yan, Juniper and others, all praised him.

"You have made a great contribution!" Yue Fei had an imperceptible smile on his face, as if he was proud of his son.

"Thank you, Yue Shuai, because Yue Shuai taught you well!" Yue Yun said.

"Don't rush to be happy. Although you have made great achievements, you acted without authorization and violated military discipline. A meritorious service is a merit, and a demerit is a demerit!" Yue Fei's tone suddenly became serious. "

As soon as Yue Fei said this, the smiles on the faces of the people around him froze.

Yue Yun has made a great contribution now!

"Yue Shuai..." Niu Gao wanted to say something, but Yue Fei raised his hand to stop him.

Yue Fei said very seriously: "The state owns the state laws, and the military has military regulations. This is what I have always emphasized!"

Like Zhao Ning, Yue Fei is a person who pays great attention to maintaining rules.

Many people always like to play tricks, thinking that they are very smart and can use their own means to settle many things.

In fact, that's just being smart.

When a person has great personal ability, he can lead some people to accomplish one thing brilliantly.

But if you want to lead a huge army, or even lead a country, you can't just rely on your personal ability. You must have a firm understanding of the rules, which is the so-called procedural justice.

In layman's terms, leading a small team depends on general talent.

To lead a large army, one must have handsome talents, and one of the specific manifestations of handsome talents is to uphold the rules.

Because no matter whether the army of 50 or [-] is operating according to the rules.

Yue Fei continued: "Today, you, Yue Yun, went northward without authorization and made meritorious service. If the commander-in-chief doesn't punish you and only rewards, then next time, countless people will follow you and go northward without authorization. Can you guarantee that everyone will make meritorious service next time?"

The crowd was silent.

Actually Niu Gao wanted to tell Yue Fei the story of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

But Yue Fei and Wei Qing's philosophy of leading troops is obviously different.

Yue Fei led the troops extremely strictly, and the specific strictness was in the military regulations.

Huo Qubing is a genius, genius is unique.

Yue Yun is also a genius. Yue Yun has fought wars in history, and he also made his opponents terrified.

But after all, geniuses are only a very small part, and the tactics of geniuses are extremely specific and not universal.

As a standardized product, the army, especially the army of the large army, cannot use particularity to guide the majority of universality.

Next time, if someone really follows Yue Yun's example and goes north, not to mention making meritorious service, the entire army may be wiped out.

Yue Yun said: "The general will be convicted! Please punish Yue Shuai!"

Niu Gao said: "Shuai Yue, if Yue Yun is really punished today, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies!"
