Song Beiyun

At the same time, the battle in Jiujiang County also entered the seventh day. Jiujiang County, which was besieged by the army, finally couldn't stand Ding Guogong's repeated attacks at this moment, and the city gate was breached from the outside.

After the army entered the city, Duke Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Jiujiang County has been recaptured, the isolated city in front of him no longer exists, and the strongholds are reconnected. He didn't even care about rest, and quickly drafted a victory report to announce the good news to the capital.

It has been more than a month, and the rear needs a good news to relieve the pressure of the court and the people. Although winning Jiujiang County is not a feat worth boasting about, it is enough to make the gentlemen in the court happy for a while.

"Mr. Dingguo, there is a message from Song Beiyun Department ahead." An old subordinate came over and brought in a letter: "It came from Changsha County five days ago."

"Quick, submit it quickly."

Duke Ding took the letter and read it. The letter first congratulated Duke Ding for taking down Jiujiang County, and then there was a rainbow fart, such nonsense as Duke Ding's sword is not old, and Duke Ding's soldiers are like gods. The public is happy.

But at the end, when he saw Song Beiyun's overall strategic deployment, he couldn't help but gasp.

"This guy, you want to fight Guizhou!?"

Duke Ding couldn't even believe his eyes. He didn't understand who gave Song Beiyun the courage to pull the entire front two thousand miles away. From Nanchang to Changsha, from Changsha to Guizhou, this is the battle-tested soldier. Decisions that veterans dare not make, the variables along the way are completely unpredictable, and the difficulty is comparable to entering Shuzhou.

"wrong!"

Duke Ding stood up and said, "Get the map."

The map was placed in front of Duke Ding, and he carefully compared all the place names mentioned in Song Beiyun's letter, and drew a line on it with a pen to link these cities together.

This line is extremely abrupt, like a centipede-like scar suddenly appeared on a girl's snow-white belly, twisting and twisting to form a line.

"Why is this?" Ding Guogong gently tapped the area at the other end of the spoon-like line: "Why did he come to Guizhou?"

This problem made Duke Ding very distressed, but soon he discovered the mystery. There is not only Guizhou on this line, but also Wuzhou below, but no matter what it is, these two states are relatively close to the same place A lot, that is... Fuzhou.

After suddenly realizing this, he began to carefully compare the rebellion situation between the military branch and the state capital.

The more he saw this, the more flustered he became, and finally he simply sat down on the chair and murmured, "Why didn't he report...why didn't he report..."

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"Kang Kang, it's the other way around."

Hearing this sentence, even the faces of the staff next to him were ashen, and Duke Ding pointed to the line that Song Beiyun had drawn on the map and said, "Look, this line is the one that Song Beiyun was crucified to death." Here is a nail, he will stick to this line of defense to prevent the rebels from crossing Wuzhou and entering Leizhou and Qiongzhou."

"Why? But no matter how you look at it, Leizhou is better to take precautions, relying on the geographical location."

"What you said is very true, so you are probably an aide in forty-eight."

The staff was suddenly slapped by Duke Ding, and felt a little uncomfortable, but what could he say, after all, Duke Ding had been such a bad mouth all his life.

"If we defend against the enemy in Leizhou, will all this place fall into the enemy's hands?" Duke Ding put one hand on the map of Guangxi: "There are all the lands in Guangnan, and this land in Guangnan is located in the jungle. , the terrain is complex, and there are many mountains and rivers, if there is no place to turn around and adapt to it, the army will not be able to enter it and fight against the bandits."

"So that's the case. Song Beiyun's plan is to take this part of Guangnan as a springboard. But why Guizhou and Wuzhou?"

Duke Dingguo took out a ruler and measured it twice on the map with a smile on his face: "Yongzhou is 720 miles away from Guizhou and Wuzhou."

The staff went up to check carefully, and they were amazed, and they praised Song Beiyun one by one, what kind of hero was born as a boy, and what kind of soldier was familiar with it.

"Familiar? It's enough to be called a military god." Ding Guogong knocked on the map with his hand, and you can see the line of his marching with troops: "After capturing Nanchang City, if he sent his troops north to open up Jiangzhou, but now he is with us. However, he took a dangerous route and went south to eat Changsha, and fought all the way along Changsha, regardless of his own isolated city hanging in the enemy camp."

"That's right... why are you so courageous? After all, it can't be that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers?"

"I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is more afraid of tigers than him. He bypassed Xu Shiyun's troops in Guangnan to attack Guizhou, did not attack the city, and retreated immediately when he encountered the enemy's army on the road. There is no trace of bravery, but in my opinion, this man The use of soldiers is insidious and cunning and has a long-term vision, Lord Fu has a good vision..."

"How do you see it in the long run?"

The staff's words made Duke Ding chuckle, and he handed the letter sent by Song Beiyun to the staff: "The report five days ago."

The staff quickly read it, and they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear: "He knew five days ago... We can take Jiujiang County later? Is this son a prophet?"

"The prophet? It's good that he still has that kind of ability. Presumably, he should have deduced it from food, personnel and other things. Either this guy is a rare talent, or there is a person who is comparable to Crouching Dragon by his side. Either No... a bit of both.”

Thinking of all the previous reports, especially the ambush at the pass where Song Beiyun took Changsha City to prevent the enemy from returning to the city for reinforcements, it can be said that it was enough to be introduced into the military book as an example, but this is obviously not the guy's own style. Fierce and tricky but not very subtle, but the battle against the enemy was extremely delicate, which means that he got a character who dispatches troops, and this person seems to be able to form a complementary horn with him.

"If you guessed right, Prince Fu should send troops tomorrow. Wait for the prince to arrive. I haven't seen the prince use troops for a long time, and I miss it in my heart."

The discussion about Song Beiyun didn't stop, not only Ding Guogong's side, Zhao Xingna also received related reports.

The operation efficiency of Si Ming Division was really fast. They sent back the victory report on the day after Song Beiyun captured Changsha, and today the victory report was finally placed on Zhao Xing's table.

Looking at the good news, Zhao Xing felt that his meal was sweeter, and sat there drinking porridge while watching the good news and giggling.

He didn't know how to lead troops to fight, but he felt very comfortable watching the victory after victory, and from Song Beiyun's words, as long as King Fu arrived, everything would be settled.

"Old Wang, bring me another bowl."

These days, although I can’t hear that annoying Song Beiyun yelling one after another, but it’s not easy to learn, and when he learns badly, Zhao Xing got this mouth habit, and he yells all day long. Displeasing.

But there was nothing he could do about this displeasure, even Song Beiyun, let alone Zhao Xing.

"Old Wang, do you think this Song Beiyun is a magic weapon bestowed on me by God? As long as you encounter difficult things and leave them to him, everything will be fine." Zhao Xing ate happily, so he put down his chopsticks and chatted: "he After that, I really saved a lot of heart."

"Officials, you still have to be careful, if..."

"Of course I know, but you also look at his appearance. I don't worry about the appearance of him being willing to take a step before kicking him." Zhao Xing was in a very good mood today: "Okay, I'll go and see my Huang'er, you should also go to rest earlier. Tomorrow's great victory news should arrive, and I want to show my face."

At the same time, Yan Shu was sitting at the desk, writing.Song Beiyun went to war, so he can only ghostwrite the work of this curtain of spring dream.

But he found that since he wrote it as a ghostwriter, the sales volume has been getting worse and worse, and reader satisfaction has also plummeted.

He is summing up the reasons these days, thinking about it, it might be because he didn't write enough vulgar, kitsch, gaudy Song Beiyun's writing, his white breasts, hairy and so on in his book made people scold On the one hand, he was shameless but hid under the covers and enjoyed watching it.

But what I wrote by myself, turning over butterflies, spring water, green hills, and green bamboos over and over again, I feel very boring after reading it by myself, not to mention those masters who spend money.

So today, Yan Shu changed his previous style, and directly came up with a sweaty meat scene, which made his wife blush beside him.

"Officer, why...you can write such insulting things."

"Readers love to read it." Yan Shu reached down and pressed the gun: "This group of people talk about benevolence and morality and face sanctimoniously, but in private they are a bunch of filthy bastards who love each other. , I still don’t believe it.”

"What he wrote... I've read it too, but it's not like yours...so..."

"What's the matter? Do you mean that my writing is not as good as that guy's?" Yan Shu put down his pen: "Come on, come and tell me, what's worse."

"This..." The girl from the Zhao family blushed and pointed to her head and said, "You go in like this... like this, it just hurts, and you won't lose sight of it at all... That... I..."

"Huh? There are other things like this?" Yan Shu threw the pen away: "Then I won't write today, let's practice first. When do you think that guy will come back? I haven't heard any news recently, maybe he died?"

Chapter 294: On February 2, 27, the cloudy sky crushed the white clouds

In the court, everyone's expressions were extremely serious. The rebellion in the south is now out of control, and the 42 states have completely cut off contact, and now they don't even know who is the instigator.

The atmosphere was oppressive, Zhao Xing reprimanded the officials above, but the people below didn't even have the strength to refute.

"In July last year, Huizhou reported private hoarding of government food, why didn't we pursue it? Where is Yushitai?"

Doctor Yushi stepped forward tremblingly: "I don't know... this matter is handled by the Ministry of Punishment."

"Ministry of Punishment!" Zhao Xing pointed to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment: "Do you have anything to say?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment turned pale. He really didn't know that this matter would develop to this point. After the Huizhou newspaper reported it, he didn't take it too seriously.Later, I searched a little bit by following the clues, but I vaguely felt that it would be inappropriate to continue the investigation, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice temporarily suppressed the case.

But under pressure, they forgot... It doesn't matter if they forget, the people related to this line, from the governor to the Marquis Yu, are all reversed.

He fell to his knees, not daring to make a sound.

"Vegetarian meal in the corpse!" Zhao Xing slapped the table fiercely: "If it weren't for the Dongchuang incident, how many things would you have kept from me? You keep saying that you are for the country, but what you are waiting for is tantamount to handing over the great country to others!"

No one can stand up to this big hat, it's a mutiny, it's a rebellion!The Ministry of Criminal Justice did not pursue the investigation even though it had already obtained clues, which in itself was regarded as treason.

This time, Shangshu Xingbu, who had been sitting on pins and needles for a while, collapsed and couldn't recover for a long time.

This should be placed on other matters, and the officials must have rushed to reason and plead for mercy, but today's matter is extremely special, and no one dares to be the first bird.

Among other things, the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is definitely not guaranteed, and a lot of people will follow him if he is implicated, but even Zhao Xiang can only sigh silently, and will not look at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice any more.

"Where is the Imperial City Division!?"

Yan Shu came out from behind at this moment, bowed and said, "Yan Shu, deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, has not yet returned because the chief officer, Song Beiyun, went down to suppress the rebellion. Now I will handle all the affairs of the Imperial City Division."

"Okay, check! Thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Punishment!"

When the officials heard it, they exploded with a buzzing sound.Even Zhao Xiang's expression became weird. Didn't Zhao Xing know that Yan Shu was his son-in-law?He let him do such a thing?

Although it is just an order, the political meaning in it is too interesting. There are two meanings here. One is that the Imperial City Secretary has now been given the function of thoroughly investigating a part. Although it has not been formally written into the regulations, But the emperor's golden rule, only one sentence is enough.

This function can be said to be terrifying. If you can check the Ministry of Punishments today, you can check the Ministry of Accounts tomorrow, and you can check the Yushitai in a few days. This virtually puts a shackle on the officials.

Who wants to be in chains?But how to refute it now?Can't check?The Ministry of Punishment is suspected of covering up treason, who dares to say that it cannot be investigated?But as long as it sets a precedent, then the Imperial City Secretary will become an inconspicuous small yamen, and become a special case of "jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements", and become a sharp knife in the hands of the imperial power.

And the second meaning here is also very interesting, Yan Shu is the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, he went to the Imperial City Department firstly to use this popular Yamen as a springboard, and secondly to carry out the task of suppressing and monitoring Song Beiyun for his father-in-law.But who in the Manchu Dynasty didn't know that Yan Shu was Zhao Xiang's "family member"?

If this responsibility was given to Song Beiyun, they could impeach him, suppress him or even restrain him everywhere, but what about Yan Shu?He has received the emperor's order to do things, suppressing him would ruin his official career, Prime Minister Zhao will not agree, but if he doesn't suppress him, wouldn't he become the second Song Beiyun?

At this moment, even Zhao Xiang didn't know what to do, so he could only step forward and cup his hands and said, "Officials, Yan Shu, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, is still young, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it well at this time."

"Ms. Zhao's words are wrong." Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "Yan Shu is already a well-known talent in the world. He is known for his resourcefulness, shrewdness and ability. There is no one else to investigate this matter, and Song Beiyun, who didn't know his life or death, went to the south to suppress the rebellion. He didn't know his life or death, and now this envoy will naturally take orders."

"That……"

Zhao Xiang is not very convinced yet, but now he has nothing to say, this move is too beautiful, so beautiful that it kills three birds with one stone.This is the first time in this court, and Zhao Xiang has suffered from Zhao Xing's loss but has nothing to do.

"Yan Shu, why didn't you take orders?"

"I'm taking the decree." Yan Shu stepped forward and clasped his fists at Zhao Xing: "For the time being, I will carry out this matter on behalf of Lord Song, and I will hand it over to him when he returns."

Hearing him mention Song Beiyun, most of the people in the court were laughing in their hearts. That self-indulgent thing must have been beheaded and hung on the city gate, just like his favorite thing to do In that way, after all, it is the way of heaven that favors reincarnation, and the wicked will be rewarded in the end.

But at this moment, a fast horse rushed into Jinling City, with a letter flag behind it, swaggering all the way.

They also shouted loudly along the way: "Great victory for Changsha County and Jiujiang County! Great victory for Changsha County and Jiujiang County!"

When passing Dingguo Mansion, Zuo Rou was holding a rice bowl at the door, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and looking forward to the messenger. After hearing the report from the fast horse, she put down the bowl and rushed out.

But her speed was still a step slower, this good news must be sent to the palace as soon as possible, and the day lily was cold when Zuo Rou arrived.

"Hmph..." Zuo Rou stood at the gate of the Privy Council and stomped her feet angrily: "You run really fast."

And just at this moment, a clerk from the Privy Council came out. When he saw Zuo Rou, he immediately turned around and walked inside.

"You! Just wait for me!"

Zuo Rou dashed forward and grabbed the man by the neck: "Run? Run when you see me? How courageous!"

"Miss, don't ask me again, military aircraft is more important than government, if I say it, my head will be lost."

This is the fear of Zuo Rou from the bottom of my heart, and this woman is really scary. These days, she will squat at the gate of the Privy Council every day, just wandering around. Whenever a horse stops in front of the Privy Council, she will rush up and stand beside it eavesdrop.

drive away?are you crazy?This is Ding Guogong's daughter, Ding Guogong is the Privy Council's privy envoy... This is the boss's daughter, drive her away?

"Just tell me, what's in the good news?"

"Isn't it the great victories in Changsha and Jiujiang, nothing else."

"I don't believe it! These reports are all military reports, and they have details, tell me quickly!"

The clerk knelt down with a thud: "You kill me... It's better to die in your hands than to die in the Imperial City Prison."

"Imperial City Division? That's fine, the Imperial City Division is mine..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a hand from behind to die. When she turned around, she found Qiaoyun standing there dumbfounded, with an annoyed expression on her face: "Miss, go back...he wrote you a letter, what's in it?" Both."

"Okay... let's go!"

At that moment just now, Qiao Yun's heart was about to pop out of her throat, for fear that Zuo Rou would say the phrase "The Imperial City Division is all mine".

If she really made her say it, the speaker has no intentions and the listener has the intention, it will definitely be bad luck for her to spread the word, maybe because she has a good relationship with Zhao Xing, but to use Song Beiyun's words-"A companion is like a companion "Tiger", this kind of thing can't be messed up, not to mention that in this sensitive period, Yushitai is looking for faults everywhere. Others say it doesn't matter. The daughter of this country's public family can't help but make people think a little bit more.

Zuo Rou didn't realize this at all, she happily followed Qiao Yun back to the mansion.At the same time, the good news spread to the palace.

"Officials, good news!"

"Report!"

This exaggerated "report" was arranged by Zhao Xing a long time ago. He waited for the person who reported the letter to come, and then he shouted handsomely, and then sat on it with a calm face and listened, showing the air of an emperor.

"Great victory in Changsha County and Jiujiang County! Song Beiyun killed more than 2000 enemies in Changsha County, captured more than 740 people from the rebel army, and banned a total of more than [-] people. Dingguo Public Department Jiujiang County Great victory! Killed [-] enemies Hundreds, more than [-] people were captured and banned from the rebel army. Dingguo Justice intends to rush to help Nanchang County."

"it is good!"

Zhao Xing clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Excellent, I am Duke Ding!"

After finishing speaking, he showed a puzzled expression on his face: "Then how did the Song Beiyun Department win two cities in a row? Tell me in detail."

Now Zhao Xing saw the stunned look of all the officials in the audience, and he was very happy.

"Look at their ignorance." Zhao Xing was so contemptuous in his heart, but he forgot that when he received the secret letter, he rolled in the upper study room.

The commander announced the details of how Song Beiyun captured Nanchang and how he led his troops to conquer Changsha City in the hall.Needless to say, the effect is really good. After hearing this, Man Dian Wenwu became more and more astonished, with various expressions on his face.

To be honest, Song Beiyun didn't feel anything bad when he was doing it, and it was over anyway.But when it was replayed afterwards, it was quite shocking. The shock was no less than leading 3000 people to fight back and forth with 20 Huns.
