Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 249

Really ruthless, ruthless to the enemy and ruthless to himself. Song Jiang and Wu Yong almost gave Wang Xiu a definition. It is definitely the determination to kill the net. He cannot but admire Wang Xiu's determination. Dealing with such a ruthless person is too depressing. !
In fact, Wang Xiu also has a hard-to-recite scripture, he feels that he is not cruel at all, if he has three thousand cavalry in his hand, how can he have the time to waste time with you!Drop or not?Give you a stick of incense time to think about it.

"Brother, Jiu Wenlong attacked without permission, not because he disobeyed his brother, but because he couldn't swallow that bad breath, and hoped that his brother would send troops to rescue as soon as possible." Lu Junyi said impatiently. , he valued Shi Jin quite a lot, and never wanted him to die in a meaningless battle.

Song Jiang fell silent. Once the villages send troops to rescue, it means fighting again. It is unwise to fight with the cavalry at night. It is very likely that the battle situation will not be controlled, and the villages will fight each other.

Besides, the prospect that Wang Xiu showed him, um, should be the big cake that he painted, it was so tempting, and it made him hesitate again, a great opportunity to surrender, it's a pity to miss it, he can't do it calmly Make a decision.

"Winning or losing on the battlefield is a means, how can it be used for personal grievances?" Wang Xiu was very upset. Shi Jin was really narrow-minded, and such a person had no future at all.Just like his judgment, if the painted pancakes can be turned into reality, for Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others, sacrificing a Shi Jin is a bird, even if half of the brothers die, it is worth it.

Don't think that this group of unscrupulous men can have much loyalty, yes, maybe they really have loyalty, otherwise they would not be able to defeat the officers and soldiers in a row.However, one thing is certain, in the face of absolute interests, what is loyalty?He remembered the profit debate with He Laodao back then. The reason why you can become a moral gentleman is that you have a moral bottom line. If you don’t exceed the bottom line, you are a gentleman.
"My lord, please send an order to stop the strangling, and send troops to intercept Jiuzhilong, and never invade the city wall." Song Jiang took a step back, he still didn't want to give up Shi Jin.

Wang Xiu's attitude was very firm, and he said resolutely: "The cavalry attack, there is absolutely no possibility of retreating. I have long ago ordered that only those who dare to approach the city wall be attacked, and no camps will be invaded. If the commander wants to fight, I will accompany him to the end."

Xu Zhong was on full alert, glaring at Song Jiang.

Song Jiang was speechless for a while, and Wang Xiu's precautions were also reasonable. Whether they were really ordered to safety, of course, they had to be on the safe side. Shi Jin led the army to attack rashly, and they deserved to be beaten on the head.It is true that the two sides are fighting, but they are invited guests, so what will happen to Wang Xiu?The road to Zhao'an will definitely be cut off.

The situation in the big tent is also weird. It can be said that if there is a disagreement, it will be opened. Wang Xiu only has one guard. The chance of killing the sky is slim, but it does not mean that there is no chance. Whether it is Song Jiang or Wu Yong, they all Within ten steps of him, it is still possible to capture the thief first and capture the king first, it depends on Song Jiang's choice.

"My lord, can you save my brothers?" Song Jiang gritted his teeth and fixed his eyes on Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu understands that this is a critical moment, success or failure depends on one move, no matter how good what he said just now, the other party still has doubts, but Shi Jin's messing around has had an effect, making Song Jiang make his final decision, and he said firmly: "The battlefield is unpredictable, It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, if he survives, I will not blame the past." The implication is very clear, if Shi Jin can survive the First World War, you brothers are afraid of a bird?
"You." Lu Junyi was a little angry, Wang Xiu's words were very clear, life and death are destiny!May I ask how many people can survive under the pressure of the cavalry with hundreds of steps?
Wang Xiu rolled her eyes, and said flatly: "Since you choose, you must have the awareness of responsibility."

"Could it be that my lord came here alone, and didn't think of dying?" Lu Junyi was not a reckless person, but Shi Jin followed Chao Gai's original followers, so he had to maintain one or two.

Wang Xiu chuckled and said humorously: "No one has died in life since ancient times. The leader should keep his useful life and do a good job. Don't let down the good old age. You will lament when you are old." As he spoke, he said to Xu Zhong waved his hand, and said calmly: "Put away your weapons, Yasi is not a person without faith."

Xu Zhong felt Wang Xiu's courage, and he admired him more and more. He put away all his straight knives and guarded Wang Xiu closely.

"You are..." Lu Junyi looked at Xu Zhong with a feeling of deja vu.

"Under Xu Zhong, Yuan Cong led his subordinates." Xu Zhong responded neither overbearing nor humble, but his eyes did not hesitate at all.

"So it's you, what are you doing?" Lu Junyi was shocked. He was deeply impressed by this martial arts leader, but he never thought that the other party would turn to Wang Xiu, his eyes flickered, and there was a faint murderous intent of shame and indignation.

"A good bird chooses a tree to rest on, Xu Zhong is my guard, I hope you will forgive me." Wang Xiu's eyes were not kind, and her tone was quite teasing.

Without waiting for Lu Junyi to get angry, Song Jiang said with a smile: "My lord is open-minded, I admire you." Looking at Xu Zhong again, he smiled and said: "Following your lord, you must do your best to maintain it, but you must not be careless."

Lu Junyi looked at Song Jiang in surprise, as if he understood the meaning, and then looked at Wang Xiu who was smiling, and suddenly felt discouraged.

"Boss, don't miss out on some trivial matters. If there are no doubts, I will report to the court tomorrow, and both sides will rectify the troops." Wang Xiu didn't want to make more troubles, and once again went straight to the point.

Song Jiang remained silent, Wu Yong's eyes flickered, and Lu Junyi hesitated to speak.Indeed, the prospect is very attractive, Shi Jin is such a trivial matter, Wang Xiu has already made great sincerity, they hesitated!
Tokyo
Zhao Ji has already issued the third imperial edict, strictly ordering the guards everywhere to immediately break the siege of Liguo, and even Wang Fu dared not make any small moves.why?There are several sub-forces in the inner palace, and they are also running for Wang Xiu,

Whether it is the princess or the concubine Liu who has just been promoted to the imperial concubine, to the inner palace Wanyi like sister Lin Yue, a group of delicate beauties are always speaking for Wang Xiu intentionally or unintentionally, urging Zhao Guanjia to send troops.

Just as Sister Lin Yue said to Zhao Ji: "The fall of the Li country, I am afraid that Wang Ci will become a swan song. I also hope that Your Majesty will save the seeds of scholars and leave an elegant song for Tokyo."

Concubine Liu Gui took advantage of her favor to speak for Wang Xiu several times, and even watched Zhao Ji drafting the imperial edict in person, and then she smiled happily and gave the Zhao official family a big wink.

All these are the good fortune of Wang Xiu's gift of poems, and he did not expect that he was reluctant to write those poems for the concubine back then, but he was rewarded.

Three edicts!It is enough to see the energy of this group of wives who can make the Zhao official family of the Song Dynasty issue three consecutive edicts. Wang Fu is worthy of favor, but he can't compete with the huge inner palace. After all, the orientation of the Zhao official family is normal.

Besides, not only the eldest lady in the inner palace, Zuixinglou, but also the pungent Wang Qingzhu, Zhao Guan's family also had to give some face.This formed a landscape, the ministers almost kept silent about benefiting the country, and they were talking about those officials who were admonishing the censors, and most of them were cruel and broken things by Wang Xiu's methods.
At this time, it was already December of the second year of Xuanhe, when Fang La rebelled, beheaded Cai Zun and Yan Tan, the military governors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and occupied Qingxi County.

What's even more tragic is that Mrs. Cai lost her beloved son. The ninth son of the Cai family was at the main gate of Hangzhou Prefecture Yamen. He was assassinated by Wu Song just after he got off his horse, which is unlucky!Mr. Cai was astonished for half a stick of incense, and stayed behind closed doors for three days.

At the beginning of the same month, Fangla captured Muzhou again, taking Shouchang, Fenshui, Tonglu, Suian and other counties. He looked down on a group of mud-legged people at all, but he was beaten and defeated. The court general who was known as sick, died in battle in a muddle-headed manner.

Since then, Fang La has become unstoppable, and he raised his troops to the five counties, forming a siege on Hangzhou, the center of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Not only did Fang La's army sweep across Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the people who were persecuted by the Yingfeng Bureau of Suzhou and Hangzhou and Hushi, under the instigation of some people who were unwilling to accept the status quo, took up arms and killed the defenders one after another.

Shisheng from Suzhou, Lu Xing'er from Gui'an County, Huzhou, Wu Bang from Lingshandong, Lanxi County, Wuzhou, Chen Shishi from Fangyanshan, Yongkang County, Huo Chengfu from Jinyun County, Chuzhou, and others all beheaded local officials and seized the city's wealth to respond to Fangla. .

Most of these people have no connection with Fang La, and they are also guarding against Fang La's annexation. They took advantage of the destruction of the main force of the Liangzhe Road Song Army and took advantage of the chaos to occupy the territory.

There is a real threat, and Fangla's strong support is Lu Shinang from Xianju County, Taizhou, Qiu Daoren from Shan County, Yuezhou, and Zheng Demon King from Quzhou. These people are the backbone of the Manicheism. It caused corruption in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even threatened Jiangnan East Road.

The most frightening thing is that since Xining, all roads in the southeast have become the economic lifeline of the imperial court. Whether it is the Shibo Department or the tax revenue of merchants, they all play a decisive role. The Liangzhe Road centered on Jiangsu and Zhejiang is an important source of finance for the imperial court. A major blow to the imperial court's finances, the land of fish and rice is in a mess.

Zhao Ji had no other choice. The ruling and opposition parties demanded the dismantling of the Suzhou-Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau and the Su-Hang Zaozuo Bureau. There was a loud voice for deposing Zhu Xi, father, son and brother, and even Wang Fu remained silent.That's right, on the cusp of the limelight, being bitten by those censors who are like mad dogs, you will lose your skin if you don't die.

Zhao Ding was lucky, Zhong Liqiu was in Jiangning, and he ordered Zhao Ding to urge the evacuation of the maritime department and bank personnel in Hangzhou, and spread that Zhao Ding came to Jiangning to report on his work, so that he could be reborn with a good reputation before the siege, and Zong Liang also survived. .

Fang La was at the height of his power, openly proposing political slogans such as drawing the river and governing, light corvee and low taxation, and extremely provocative political slogans, which shocked all walks of life in the southeast, and some people who were unwilling to be lonely were ready to move. The people were beheaded, and the city was full of blood and rain.

Zhao Ji picked up Wang Xiu's wordless memorial again. Thinking of Feng Yuan's biography of Wang Xiu, he regretted that he didn't take it seriously. Sure enough, Fang La was out of control when Wang Xiu said it.
