Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

When he said that, the others couldn't help but nod.

Zhang Jun's expression became serious: "You mean, Xi Xia might want to use troops against us?"

"Xixia has made a lot of money in the mutual market in the past two years, and sent people to open iron mines in the Hengshan area. In name, it is to deal with the Northwest Uighurs. According to the officials..."

The crowd fell silent.

If Xixia makes a move at this time, it will be serious.

Shaanxi is undergoing a rotation. During the rotation, the military defense is the weakest. When a general is transferred from the original unit to a new unit, he is not yet familiar with his subordinates and needs time to adjust.

Moreover, this rotation is not a simple rotation, but a prelude to the imperial court's investigation of the Northwest corruption case.

After the rotation is over, the Military Governor's Office will intervene.

Once a thorough investigation is started, a large number of people will inevitably be sacked. At that time, the key to filling in personnel is that the military defense will be even weaker.

If something happened at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhang Jun asked: "How is the rotation going?"

"The person who was sent out just replied to the letter, and the government's orders have arrived in various places, and the rotation has begun."

Once it has started, there is no possibility of taking it back.

"How is the border defense arrangement?"

"There are no rotations at the border, it's business as usual."

Zhang Jun sighed in his heart, and this matter was of great importance, so he could only bite the bullet and go on.

If something really happened, Zhang Jun could only come out and take all the responsibility.

Anyway, inside and outside the court, there are already a lot of people scolding him for giving away his head in the Battle of Chang'an.

He also admitted.

So, many times, when I read history books, I will be very puzzled, some people always lose battles, or always mess things up, why the emperor still uses this person?

Anyone who has really participated in major decision-making knows that the overall situation is not calculated in such a way that some Jiangzuo talents are so intertwined.

In the real world, the situation is changing at any time. The world is composed of countless accidents and coincidences. No one can kill everyone in the game.

Everything is full of variables.

Without God's vision, in the face of reforms in the real world, no wise reformer, ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, can be sure of the future pattern.

Therefore, those who seek the overall situation must use people who dare to take responsibility to work in key positions.

As an ordinary person, facing the current situation of internal and external troubles, sitting in the position of the Shaanxi General System, I am afraid that the mentality has collapsed, or in order to protect themselves, slow down the rotation and delay the progress.

Looking at it from the highest level, the military administration in the Northwest, if pushed back, is committing suicide.

In another year, when Xixia has sufficient military equipment, it will start a full-scale war.

How can the Northwest Forbidden Army, which has not undergone reorganization, face the strengthened Xixia after being severely damaged in the Song and Jin battles?

Looking at Zhang Jun’s historical experience, he lost a lot of battles, and was labeled a great talent by the people at that time. When people read history books and look at his resume, they can only say one thing: hot chicken, can’t fight, blind do.

But they don't know that in that kind of internal chaos, discord, and external toughness, it's useless for anyone to come.

On the contrary, it is very important to have someone who dares to push things forward.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand that Zhang Jun has caused major incidents many times in history, and Zhao Gou still likes to use him.

Zhao Gou may be controversial, but Song Xiaozong Zhao Min who followed Zhao Gou also had high hopes for him.

At the critical moment, this person dared to act resolutely and make underground decisions to hold the situation together!

"Wu Lin."

"The last general is here, you go to Huanzhou quickly and take over as the commander of the Huanzhou capital. If Xixia invades, you can respond to the enemy at any time!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Li Renli didn't stay in Chang'an for too long, after leaving Chang'an, he went all the way to Huizhou.

Huizhou was the place where the Song and Xia countries opened mutual markets. Li Renli was going there to investigate the situation, and then returned to Xingqing Mansion to make strategies for rights and interests.

On November 25, Li Renli passed by Xi'an Prefecture.

Hearing that the Xixia envoy was passing by on his way back home, Ren Dejing, the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture, paid a special visit.

Ren Dejing asked: "Your emissary came to our Song Dynasty this time, what's the matter?"

"The envoy came to see Mr. Zhang Jun and Mr. Zhang, and wanted to open more cloth trade between the two sides."

"So that's how it is. Come, let me offer a toast to the envoy."

After drinking for three rounds, Ren Dejing revealed his purpose. He asked his youngest daughter to come out to lure Li Renli on purpose.

This Ren Dejing's youngest daughter was born exceptionally juicy, and Li Renli couldn't take his eyes away when he saw it.

On the second day, Ren Dejing approached Li Renli again and said, "The envoy would like to accept the young girl as a concubine?"

Li Renli smiled and said: "Your Excellency is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am the Prince of Great Xia. I am afraid it is not suitable."

"Messenger, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"As long as I have told you about this matter, please ask the envoy to speak a few words of kindness to the Lord Xia."

"Oh?"

"To tell you the truth, I have long intended to seek refuge in Daxia."

"Why is this?"

Why?

In this rotation, Ren Dejing has already seen the reason.

Ren Dejing is a cruel and cunning person in history.

After the rotation, the imperial court may send someone down to check the accounts.

Ren Dejing is greedy and greedy, as long as he checks, he will definitely die!

"Messenger, the Shaanxi No. [-] Route is now rotating military defenses!"

Chapter 338 Capture Wang Xie! (third change)

Li Renli quickly left the Song Dynasty, and he didn't even stay in Huizhou for long.

At the end of the fourth year of Jingkang, the entire Northwest experienced heavy snowfall for several consecutive days.

On the fifth day of December, Li Renli returned to Xixia.

When Li Qianshun heard that Song Jun was being transferred, he stood up excitedly from his chair: "Is this news true?"

"It was Ren Dejing, the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture, who told the minister. He also asked the minister to send his daughter, hoping that His Majesty can introduce her to the harem. He is willing to send us news."

After speaking, Li Renli asked Ren Dejing's eldest daughter to be brought up.

Ren Dejing's eldest daughter was no worse than the younger daughter, and as soon as he came in, Li Qianshun felt that this was by no means a problem.

But Li Qianshun is a cautious person. He asked: "Why did Ren Dejing surrender to us if he didn't do a good job in Xi'an Prefecture? Isn't this unreasonable?"

"According to Ren Dejing, this rotation may be related to Song Ting's discovery of corruption in the Northwest."

"Where did this matter come from?"

"Ren Dejing didn't give a strong argument for this matter, it's just a guess, but I think it's very likely."

Wei Ming An Hui said: "Your Majesty, I don't think Ren Dejing needs to lie. Could it be that he still wants to use this method to break into our court and become a spy for the Song Dynasty?"

"Does any of you know about Ren Dejing?"

Brother Li Cha said: "I heard people from Huizhou mention that this person is greedy."

"So, is this person's words credible?"

Li Renli said: "Creditable."

Wei Ming Anhui immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate anymore, take this opportunity to send troops to attack Song Dynasty, and hit Jingzhao Mansion in one fell swoop!"

Li Qianshun fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Where's Liu Yu?"

"Liu Yu should be in Hejian Mansion right now."

"How long did he start attacking Song?"

Wei Ming Anhui said casually: "Soon, it's expected to be this winter!"

Li Qianshun said: "As long as Liu Yu makes a move, we will do it."

Wei Ming Anhui said: "We can't delay, if the Song army's rotation is over, it will be too late."

"It can't be so fast. Even if the rotation is over, the running-in period between the new general and the soldiers below will be at least several months."

Li Qianshun believed that if Liu Yu attacked first, Da Song would divert resources to Hebei, and when he attacked again, the Song army would be more passive and have more room to operate.

"The minister is now writing an urgent letter at eight hundred miles away."

Anhui, who was named Wei, hurriedly sent people to the northwestern Song Army to send the information to Yanjing for [-] miles, conveyed it to Wanyan Zongwang, and through Wanyan Zongwang to promote Hebei Liuyu's operation.

Wei Ming An Hui was very excited. He felt that if this matter was accomplished, the Song Dynasty would lose the Guanzhong Plain.

At the end of December, after two months of rotation, a large number of officers of the Northwest Imperial Army arrived at new posts.

There are also a group of upper-level military officers who are called to the capital to enter the lecture hall.

It can be said that the handling of the Northwest has taken a crucial step forward.

On December 23, the sky and the earth were completely white, as if swallowing some creatures, leaving only the sound of wind and snow.

"Yang Jundu, Fushi County, the prefecture of Yan'an Prefecture, is in front of you," Li Fu said.

Li Fu was originally in the Imperial City Division, but because of his promotion, he was transferred to the Military Governor's Mansion to serve as Marquis of Du Yu, and he was also one of Zhao Ning's capable generals to Yang Yizhong.

Yang Yizhong said: "Where is Liujia Village? Let's go to Liujia Village first."

"According to the statement, it should be in that direction, more than 20 miles south of Fushi County."

"go!"

Yang Yizhong pulled the reins, and a group of people rushed towards Liujia Village in the ice and snow.

At noon, a little girl in thin clothes was squatting at the entrance of the village in a daze. She saw a group of people approaching here and looked at them curiously.

Yang Yizhong came over and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Liu Family Village?"

The little girl looked at them curiously and nodded: "Yes."

"Can Liu Bing live here?"

The little girl turned around suddenly and ran towards the thatched cottage: "Mother, someone is looking for Liu Bing!"

The little girl's voice attracted the attention of many villagers.

Some poked their heads out.

And Yang Yizhong led some people into the village.

Yang Yizhong said: "Fathers and folks, I was sent by the imperial court to investigate Liu Song's murder. May I ask if his son Liu Bing is here?"

The little girl's mother came out, protected her behind her, looked at Yang Yizhong and the others, and said, "What are you looking for with Liu Bing?"

Yang Yizhong repeated again: "I was sent by the imperial court to investigate the case of Liu Song's murder. I heard that Liu Bing is his third son? I want to talk to Liu Bing."

A villager said: "You go, we don't have any Liu Bing here."

But the little girl suddenly said: "Liu Bing was taken away by the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture more than two months ago and never came back."

The woman hurriedly told the little girl not to talk nonsense.

Yang Yizhong glanced at the surrounding villagers, and saw fear and worry in their eyes.

The atmosphere in the whole village was terribly oppressive.

Yang Yizhong continued to ask: "Let me ask a question, how much do you pay the pensions for those who died in the army in your village?"

No one answered his question.

After a while, a villager said, "I gave you thirty guan."

The villager was wearing tattered clothes. If he really sent [-] strings, how could his clothes be so rotten?
