I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 150: The Taiwanese admonishers who were slapped in the face, we, the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, are really good!

In the vertical arch hall.

The princes of the two houses quarreled.

"The truth is that the overall situation is the top priority. As the end of the year approaches, there are many followers of the White Lotus Cult. Once they gain momentum, Hebei will be in chaos. Recruitment is the best way to quickly resolve internal troubles!" Chen Zhizhong said loudly! .

Xia Song, who was on the side, also helped: "The army thief king has controlled the entire Beizhou City. Beizhou has a high wall, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the Zhengdan envoy from the Liao Kingdom is about to arrive and happens to pass through Beizhou. King Ruo intends to attack it." If he is captured, the trouble will expand again. We are besieging and recruiting at the same time. If he is unwilling to accept the recruiting, it will not be too late for us to attack again!"

Deputy Privy Councilor Wen Yanbo glared and said: "If a small group of people gathers in the mountains and fields to rebel, the strategy of recruiting peace is feasible. But now these soldiers and thieves have robbed the military resources in the city and established a country and become kings. If they are lured to peace with these actions, Then there will definitely be people who will practice it, and I think it is necessary to attack by force, and these military thieves must be killed to show the power of our Song Dynasty army!"

Vice Prime Minister Wu Yu even said directly and straightforwardly: "The officials, soldiers and thieves rebelled and proclaimed themselves kings. They are all riding on our necks and want to recruit people. I'm afraid if Xixia and Liao Kingdoms hear about this, they will definitely laugh at us. !”

……

At this time.

Ouyang Xiu, Tang Jie, Gao Ruona, He Tan, and Su Liang came to Chui Gong Hall.

Zhao Zhen motioned to the five of them to stand on one side first. After the husbands had finished arguing and the admonishers understood what they were saying, they looked at them.

"Taiwan, please give me some advice. Is it possible to recruit Beizhou army thieves while sending troops to quell the civil strife in Beizhou?"

"It's not like we're invincible. It's just one city. The chaos could have been quelled a year ago. Why do we need to recruit troops?" Ouyang Xiu was the first to say.

"I agree that recruiting peace is a last resort, but it will tie the hands of the officials who attack Beizhou." Tang Jie added.

Followed by.

He Tan, Su Liang and Gao Ruona stood up and agreed, not recommending recruitment.

Although Gao Ruona is a bit extreme, he doesn't act based on the faces of the two houses. He says whatever he thinks in his heart.

At this time, Xia Song stood up.

He first glanced at the Tai Jian officials with disdain, then looked at Zhao Zhen and said: "Officials, Tai Jian don't know the situation in Beizhou at all. I once judged the Daming Prefecture, and I know very well about the military strength of Beizhou. If we don't recruit troops, we will be defeated within a month." , it is absolutely impossible to capture Beizhou City."

"In addition, Wang Ze has many followers lurking in the military camps on Hebei Road and Jingdong Road. These people will definitely take action. The best way to eliminate the mutiny is to recruit people!"

Hearing this, Su Liang and others all shook their heads.

They didn't believe that the imperial army of the Song Dynasty could not capture the small Beizhou City in a month.

at this time.

The little yellow gate outside the door shouted: "Guan family, urgent letter from Qingzhou, urgent letter from Qizhou!"

Su Liang couldn't help being shocked, and thought to himself: Could it be that something happened to Qizhou too?
If there is also a mutiny in Qizhou, the achievements of the reform in the past two years will most likely be destroyed.

Moreover, if there are problems in Qingzhou and Qizhou, it will be a big problem.

For a while, Chui Gong Hall became quiet.

Zhao Zhen looked serious and slowly opened the letter.

After he read the two letters, he couldn't help but smile and said loudly: "Okay!"

Zhao Zhen looked down.

"There were also soldiers in Qingzhou and Qizhou who were followers of the White Lotus Sect. They also rebelled one after another after the winter solstice and wanted to "massacre the city in response." However, Fu Bi and Wang Anshi found out early and had all the rebels imprisoned."

Hearing this, Su Liang and others took a long breath. Fu Bi and Wang Anshi were really reassuring.

Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but step out and look at Xia Song.

"Xia Shuxiang, you just said that the imperial army cannot attack the city within a month. Xiuzhen doesn't believe it. As for the other hidden White Lotus believers, I believe that there is Zeng Mingzhong (Zeng Gongliang) who is good at military affairs to coordinate the military forces in various places. The chief officials of each place must Can we get rid of all the soldiers and thieves like Qizhou and Qingzhou."

Xia Song snorted coldly and said, "Whether what I said is right or wrong, you will know in a month."

At this time, Zuo Sijian He Tan stood up and said: "The officials, soldiers and thieves outside Beizhou, and the various states should be able to annihilate them. As for the Zhengdan envoy of the Liao Kingdom, I thought I only need to remind the Daming Mansion. Zeng Mingzhong, he can definitely protect him safely. It is really inappropriate to recruit such soldiers and thieves." "The official family is just an isolated city in Beizhou. It will never last until the first month!" Su Liang also said with a puffed chest.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and nodded slightly.

What he was most worried about was that this matter would become a big deal, and the actions of Qingzhou and Qizhou gave him some confidence.

"Okay, then we will suspend the recruitment strategy. Zhongshu informs the Daming Mansion to ensure that the Liao envoys are safe. In addition, every state government must carry out a purge of the White Lotus cultists..."

"I obey my orders." All the ministers raised their hands in unison.

Although Chen Zhizhong and Xia Song were dissatisfied, they knew that it was useless to resist the Holy Will any longer.

On December [-], news came from the direction of Beizhou.

Tian Jing, who was imprisoned in Beizhou, was lucky enough to escape from Beizhou City. He organized soldiers and killed a group of soldiers and thieves who burned houses outside the city and wanted to make peace with Wang Ze.

December [-].

When the Zhengdan envoy from the Liao Kingdom entered Hebei, Wang Ze sent more than 300 people to intercept them at night. However, Zeng Gongliang had foreseen it and sent troops to set up an ambush and captured all 300 people.

December [-]th.

The people in Beizhou City shot arrows and wrote letters at night, willing to serve as internal agents and help the soldiers climb the city wall. Then the ropes were cut, but still failed, and hundreds of people were injured.

This thing is very outrageous.

Gaoyang Guandu Deployment, Ma Jundu Yuhou, and Xiangzhou Defense Envoy Wang Xin said that the rope was not cut by soldiers and thieves, but by his own soldiers.

Because some soldiers were greedy for credit and were afraid that others would take the credit, they cut off other people's ropes and were discovered by soldiers and thieves.

When Su Liang heard this reason, he had the urge to rush forward himself.

In a blink of an eye, it will be a month.

The news sent from the direction of Beizhou was still small and small, and none of them succeeded in attacking the walls of Beizhou.

……

In the eighth year of the Qingli calendar, on the first day of the first lunar month, the Great Dynasty Meeting was held grandly, and Bianjing City was still lively and prosperous.

But none of the Taiwanese admonishers were happy.

This time the collective was slapped in the face!

They knew that the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty was very poor, but they didn't expect it to be so poor!

I haven't been able to conquer an isolated city for a month, and it's still my own city.

This is something no one thought of.

The third day of the first month.

Chen Zhizhong and Xia Song again petitioned for the implementation of the policy of recruiting peace.

Just when Zhao Zhen was about to agree, Wen Yanbo, the deputy envoy to the Privy Council, volunteered to go to Beizhou to quell the thieves.

When Su Liang found out, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately petitioned to go with Wen Yanbo.

He wanted to see whether the soldiers of the Song Dynasty's Forbidden Army were too weak, or whether Beizhou's city wall was too strong.

After some thought, Zhao Zhen.

Wen Yanbo was immediately appointed as the Xuanfu envoy to Hebei and the pacification envoy of this road to Hebei to quell the rebellion. Mai Yunyan, Wang Kai and Wang Xin who were previously sent were all Wen Yanbo's deputies.

As for Su Liang, he set out with Wen Yanbo in the name of supervising the military in Hebei.
