Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 149

"The general is very curious. Since Zhao Cheng's team won the first battle against Xihe, and he suffered heavy losses, where is he now? Why didn't he come back?"

Qin Ming suddenly asked curiously.

"Yeah, where did he go?"

It's completely unreasonable for a group of scholars to think of this matter now. Unless they are all dead, they should come back anyway.

Zhu Xiao, the director of Guichi who participated in the meeting, was startled, and after thinking about Wang Fu's words, he also took advantage of the situation, "There should be no room for lower officials to speak here, but what Mr. Wang said just now is thought-provoking. Its possibility True. Because of this suspicion, he dared not come back for the time being. There needs to be a foreshadowing. Later, when he came back alone, he said that the witnesses were all dead. It's logically correct."

"That's right, that's the reason. What do you two gentlemen think?" Wang Fu hurriedly answered the question again.

This stupidity made Huang Wenbing feel embarrassed. Even if he likes to find faults with people, there must be faults. Although this kind of behavior is normal in official circles, it is too immature and extreme in politics.Assuming that Zhao Cheng really came back with a person who was not dead, and even had any credit, then everyone would be embarrassed!

Do you really think the Cai family is easy to mess with?If it's just because of different positions and different tactics, then yes, the officials named Zhang in the court will really cause trouble for the Cai family and take the blame.But if it really escalates to the point of pretending to be a deer and pretending to be a horse, even if it affects stability, the uncertainty will be great...

Thinking of this, Huang Wenbing ignored Zhu Xiao and Wang Fu, twitched his beard and looked at Cai You, "Master Zhizhou, why didn't you say who authorized Zhao Cheng to send troops?"

Cai You hesitated for a while, and asked back, "Why does Lord Huang think it's sending troops? Instead of handling a case?"

"This……"

In this way, Huang Wenbing knew Cai You's position, which meant that he had the confidence to protect Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng's current behavior can only be said with one mouth. If no one supports him, Zhao Cheng can refuse to accept his orders and add chaos to Chizhou.But if someone supports him, he can be the county lieutenant to enforce the Song law.

After all, he was not leading soldiers, but a policeman from Guichi County.

So what exactly gave him Cai You such confidence?Huang Wenbing, who has always been treacherous, felt that it was necessary to think about this, and there must be a reason.Now there is clearly an asymmetry of information between the two groups.

The bargaining chip that can give Cai You confidence can only be two things at the moment: one is public opinion, and the other is the results of the battle.

Think deeply.Huang Wenbing began to feel something.Assuming that Zhao Cheng didn't exaggerate the results of the war, kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, it means that his assessment in the pre-war meeting earlier is being confirmed. Since he is right and can lead fifty recruits to achieve the results, then he still has meritorious deeds and is not Probability of continuing to be right.

Second, maybe that kid is really a bookish guy with a hot head. After the results of the first battle were quite shocking and the result was not denied, it would not be a shame to continue to advance and die in battle. Become the public opinion of Chizhou.

If the operation is good, there will be a Wanyan book. Now that Cai You's father is the prime minister and has a lot of sacred favor, the people of the Wuwei military department are really cool.

The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and Huang Wenbing felt uneasy.

Although the situation is developing as Huang Wenbing hoped, it is not surprising that news of the royal guards being attacked by bandits will soon come, and Huang Wenbing will officially enter the state of military control.But this also means greater responsibility, and Cai You will completely get rid of military responsibilities.

Assuming that Zhao Cheng's report is true, and Wang Xiu, judged by the scholar, dared to set fire to the mountain, then there is a problem, which means that Dong Ping's useless strategy has made a serious mistake, whether he will lose the Chizhou war or not He said that in fact, without Cai You taking the blame, no one is willing to bear the responsibility for "military mistakes in the opposite direction."

This is tantamount to offending the two big bosses in the central government. The more he thought about it, the more Huang Wenbing felt like it was a pill.

Usually, it is difficult to reveal the problems of the Tu Emperor, and the main political officials can easily maintain stability, beautify the report submitted to the central government, and spend some money to publicize the officials of the main ministries and commissions. passed.

The problem is not there now, and Cai You just got up, assuming that because of Zhao Cheng's death, he won the popular opinion of Chizhou and formed a big ambition, and his father is the prime minister, and the inaction army also pissed off Zhang Shuye and others because of military mistakes. Then it's a public relations egg, pack up and go back to the countryside to farm as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Huang Wenbing couldn't hold back anymore, he got up and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Why, Mr. Huang hasn't figured out whether Zhao Cheng sent troops or was on duty?" Cai You smiled.

Lao Huang stopped, glanced at Cai You, then at Wang Fu, Zhu Xiao and the others, and finally turned around and sat up again, his tone changed suddenly, and he pointed Jiangshan while twisting his beard and said, "Master Zhizhou's eyes are like torches, His disciple Zhao Chengzhen has a lot of knowledge. Judging from his words, he has a rigorous mind and logic, and his analysis is clear and logical. Although it does not help the overall situation, the spirit of serving the country with courage is worth advocating vigorously in the current era."

what……

Most of the low-key officials with their heads down suddenly raised their heads, and all of them were in a state of astonishment. Old Huang seemed to have betrayed?
There is no one who can change his face so quickly. This Zhao Cheng, who seems to be unable to support himself politically, was actually determined by Lao Huang to have a strange skeleton?
"My lord, Zhao Cheng's behavior is seriously inconsistent with our Chizhou military strategy. How can it be so?"

Wang Fu and Qin Ming stood up at the same time and said.

Huang Wenbing said: "This time is the official military meeting of Guichi County Lieutenant Zhao Cheng when he was serving the country. The clerk recorded the opinions of General Qin, Lord Wang and others."

Everyone is dumbfounded!

Wang Fu and Zhu Xiao also began to sweat on their foreheads.Although I don't know what happened, but the old and cunning Huang Wenbing suddenly betrayed Zhao Cheng, there must be a reason, maybe the storm is really coming soon.

As for General Qin Mingqin, he didn't know what was going on, he just felt that these literati and scholars were really stupid, as if they were mentally ill...
