Song Dynasty

Chapter 249 Wang Shen's Worries ([-])

Anlu, Jinghu North Road, and Xiangyang North Road recruited and set up envoys.

Inner house.

The autumn wind has risen and the sun is shining brightly.

The golden sunlight casts down from the thick leaves, the leaves rustle in the breeze, and the light spots on the ground keep flickering.

The birds are chirping, and there is an indescribable tranquility.

An Niang was reclining on a hu bed, reading a book with one hand.The autumn sun was really warm, and the little girl couldn't help being a little sleepy.

At this moment, a maid whispered: "Madam, Madam...the military envoy is here."

Just as she was about to get up, Wang Shen had strode towards her.

An Niang hurriedly put down the book in her hand: "I have seen the recruitment envoy."

Stretching out his hand to hold her shoulder, he said with a smile, "Niang An, don't get up, my family is not so particular. Whether to recruit envoys or not, you and I will talk about it."

That's right, just the day before yesterday, the court's decree was finally delivered.From now on, Wang Shen finally became one of the towns and became a big feudal town.You know, after he just traveled to the Song Dynasty, his highest ideal was to be a warlord and emperor.Unexpectedly, it took only one year to achieve this life goal. Thinking of the bloody storms and life and death in the past, I felt a sigh of relief in my heart, and at the same time I was extremely proud.

Not only him, but all the soldiers of the three armies were moved by the imperial decree.

Since Jiezhen was on the side, Wang Shen was honest and blunt, and his entire civil service system was mobilized to relieve all the local civil affairs in Ansu and Ezhou, and drove out all the officials sent by Li Heng.

Those civil servants were all brought by Du Shu from Hebei at the beginning, and now almost all of them have become county magistrates. Naturally, they are inexplicably happy.

Li Yanping was quick, as soon as Wang Shen took An and Ezhou, he became concerned about the locality.Not only sent officials, closed the treasury, but also wanted to form a township.Isn't that a joke, Wang Shen is not a good person, how can he tolerate others to pick his own fruits of victory.

Up to now, the conflict between him and Li Heng has reached the verge of irreconcilability.

In fact, Wang Shen didn't want the relationship with Li Heng to be so tense.The problem is that he now governs four state capitals, with more than 2 people on hand, so many people rely on him for food, and he has become the leader of an interest group.His words and deeds will inevitably be bound by this interest group, and he can't do whatever he wants.Especially those civil servants who have been promoted to rank and rank, now seeing Li Heng, the person who came to snatch food, his eyes are all red, and he wants to kill him quickly.

But Wang Shen had no choice.

"Dao Si, you don't mean what you say!" An Niang said with a smile.

Wang Shen was stunned: "Anniang, why did I say something wrong?"

An Niang sat up, stretched out her hand to gently touch his face, and teased: "Actually, you are very happy in your heart, don't pretend that I can't see it, look at it, there are lines of laughter in the corners of your eyes."

After all, there was a puff.

Wang Shen also couldn't help laughing: "I still can't hide it from you. To be honest, I'm really happy. Now, I, Wang Shen, have started to build a mansion, and I am alone in the town. No one can ride on my head and tell me what to do." .Big man, you will not waste your life if you are free and easy."

Suddenly, he thought of Yue Fei Yue Ye in another piece of time and space in the Pavilion of Storms, and swore in his heart: I am now sitting in the land of four states, with [-] invincible tigers under my command, from now on I can be regarded as firmly grasping my own destiny. in hand.Whoever dares to set their minds on me is my enemy, Wang Shen. I don't have the foolish loyalty of the ancients.

An Niang: "Dao Si, you haven't been back to the inner house for some days, you came here today to bid farewell to me."

Wang Shen: "That's right, I will go to Hunan with Ying Xiang to suppress the Mani demons tomorrow morning. It will probably take a few months to go. You are my closest person, and all the big family businesses here in Anlu will have to pay for it." Entrusted to you, there are some things I have to explain to you."

When An Niang heard him talk about serious matters, she said, "I'm a woman, how can I interfere with military affairs. You and Ying Xiang went to Dingzhou, don't you still have Lu Ziyu, General Gu Lie and General Hu Yan at home? If Zhang Yong, When Cao Cheng and the others call, it is no problem to defend Anzhou."

"Anniang, you don't study self-effacement. Although you are a woman, you did a good job last time when a group of bandits attacked me in Huangzhou! The children of the Yue family are indeed outstanding."

Hearing Wang Shen's praise, An Niang blushed happily: "But..."

"Don't be a pity, I will go for at least two months, and there must be no one in the family to make decisions." Wang Shen lowered his head, put his mouth next to her ear, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "I originally went to Hunan this time. , I plan to take Wu Xianxian's Sheng Jie army there. As for the home, Ying Xiang is in town, so there will be no trouble. But after I got down, I thought about it. In the battle, You Shan's team cooperated, which is suitable for the Hunan battlefield, and the victory of the Jie army may not be appropriate in the past, so I changed my mind."

"That's right, there are Lu Can, Gu Lie and Hu Yantong at home, but..."

An Niang was startled, and asked in a low voice: "Dao Si is worried that they have two minds, no, no, no, deputy army envoy Lu and elder brother are life-and-death friends, General Gu is loyal to you, General Huyan is an upright man, you do your best Don't worry."

"No, no, no, I don't doubt them." Wang Shen shook his head: "To manage a group of commanders, one army, one place, one needs systems and checks and balances, not the so-called people's hearts. That's right, the kindness between me and them is great. , but that’s just normal times. When it comes to the most critical moment, no one knows what people’s hearts will be like. In a word: don’t test human nature at any time.”

Yes, there is no doubt about their loyalty to themselves.However, who knows what will happen at the most dangerous time!Moreover, all three have human weaknesses.Lu Can is a scholar, sometimes he seems pedantic, he doesn't know how to adapt, he may not be humane; Gu Lie is an old soldier, glib, with a lot of tricks; No one knows what he thinks about the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the military group Sizhou Army.

"Don't test human nature at any time..." An Niang chewed this sentence in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Is Dao Si worried that the thieves from Suizhou will take advantage of the cool autumn and go south? Then, Mr. Li took the opportunity to make trouble again."

Wang Shen nodded: "I have this worry. This time I go to Hunan, I will leave Chen Da, Feng Changqing, and Feng Changyuan brothers to you. I have made it clear to them and told them to obey your orders. You are in charge."

An Niang: "Brother, Li Hong gave the leadership, Zhang Yong's entire army was annihilated, Cao Chengjun and Yang Zaixing's troops were wiped out by our army in Huangzhou last time. The bandits suffered huge losses, and they are already frightened. How dare they go south?"

"Under normal circumstances, they would not dare to come. However, Suizhou is too small, and it is sandwiched between Jurchen and our Sizhou army. Sooner or later, it will be a death sentence. Cao Cheng will definitely take action. I am afraid he……"

An Niang was surprised: "Brother, are you worried that they voted for Jurchen?"

If so, the problem is serious.

Although she is a woman, she doesn't ask about military affairs, but she still knows a little about the outside situation.

Under the attack of the Sizhou army, the bandit army suffered great losses and lost their morale.But after all, they have a large number of troops and a good combat effectiveness. What they lack is food and fodder.

However, the Jurchens in Xiangyang were transferred to Shaanxi to participate in the war in large numbers. Although there were few people, the city accumulated a large amount of wealth, food and grass.If Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and the others voted for the Jurchen, and the two colluded, they would be able to restore their combat effectiveness immediately.

If so, the enemies of Xiangyang and Suizhou will take advantage of the favorable location and suddenly attack Wang Shen's troops in Hunan, and the trouble will be serious.

Wang Shen nodded slowly: "There is a possibility."

An Niang whispered: "How is it possible, Zhang, Cao and others are soldiers and horses from the left-behind division in Tokyo, and they were born in Hebei Dahao before. How can they be willing to be traitors?"

Wang Shen sneered: "I'm afraid that Jurchen will support a puppet regime of the Han people in the Central Plains, so that it can confuse people."

An Niang: "You mean Liu Yu?"

Wang Shen sneered and said: "Who else could it be if it wasn't him? There are few Jurchens, and knowing that they can't rule such a large land, they will definitely rule the Han with the Han. With such a puppet regime of the Han people, there is nothing wrong with those rogues who defect to the enemy and become traitors." Mentally burdened."

Liu Yu, courtesy name Yanyou, was a soldier in Yongjing, Hebei.In the Yuanfu period, he passed the Jinshi examination, and was later appointed as the imperial envoy in the palace. In the sixth year of Xuanhe, he was appointed as a criminal in Hebei and in charge of the prison.

The Jin Dynasty invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, and Liu Yu abandoned his official position and went to Yizhen to avoid chaos.Liu Yu made friends with Zhang Kui, the servant of Zhongshu, and in the first month of the second year of Jianyan, Liu Yu was appointed as the prefect of Jinan because of Zhang Kui's recommendation.At that time, there were a lot of thieves in Shandong, Liu Yu refused to go, and asked to be transferred to a county in the southeast, but he refused, and Liu Yu took office angrily.

In the winter of the same year, the Jin Army attacked Jinan, and Liu Yu sent his son Liu Lin to fight.Jin took the opportunity to send people to lure Liu Yu, Liu Yu killed his general Guan Sheng, and offered the city to surrender.

His general Guan Sheng was later the big sword Guan Sheng in the novel "Water Margin".

After surrendering to the Jinren, Wanyan Zongbi heard that Zhao Gou had crossed the Yangtze River, so he sent Liu Yu to know Dongping Mansion, served as a comfort envoy on the roads of Jingxi, Huainan, etc., and controlled Daming, Kaidefu, Pu, Bin, Bo, Di, De, Cang. In other states, Liu Lin is the magistrate of Jinan, and the south of the Yellow River is under the command of Liu Yu.

Just a month before, Liu Yu was conferred the title of Emperor by the Kingdom of Jin, the country was named Daqi, and his capital was named Daming Mansion.

According to real historical calculations, it is already the beginning of September at this moment, and Liu Yu should have ascended the throne in Daming Mansion here.

Another two years later, in the second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yu moved the capital to Kaifeng, which became a buffer between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and also became the vanguard of the Jurchens going south to invade the Song Dynasty.

It has to be said that the establishment of Liu Yu's puppet Qi was the most insidious move of the Jurchens. It was very confusing at the time, and it also caused huge troubles for the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.
