One Piece of Song Dynasty

Sun County Prime Minister nodded and said: "It is true that the Western Army is indeed the most powerful among our Great Song Army, but everything is afraid of eventualities. We must not take it lightly, as arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Lord Qian should also understand this truth. ”

Master Qian replied: "Yes, yes, Mr. Sun, Qian knows. Qian will act cautiously and will never relax. As long as he survives this period, it will be fine."

After giving instructions to the three of them, Li Xin sent several secret letters to Liu Fa and others on Xinghan Island as usual.

After receiving the secret letter, Liu Fa sighed: "In the end, my lord got it right. The imperial court sent Tong Guan as the envoy of Jiang, Huai, Jing, and Zhejiang roads, and Tan Zhen as the envoy of Zhejiang and Zhejiang roads. He mobilized the imperial guards of the capital and the west. We have an army of and are going south to suppress the rebels. Take a look at it, General Zhai."

Zhai Jin looked at the secret message and said: "It seems that Tong Guan brought many of his former colleagues to suppress the rebels this time. Liu Guangshi, Yao Pingzhong, Xin Xingzong, Zhe Kecun, Yang Keshi and others are all here."

Liu Fa nodded and said: "Yes, look at the troops, at least of them are children of the Western Army."

Zhai Jin continued: "It seems that the rebel army is going to be in big trouble this time."

Liu Fa thoughtfully said: "This is an inevitable result. The rebels have occupied the entire Zhejiang Road. It can be said that the court's tax revenue has been hit hard. The officials must be anxious. 35xs"

Zhai Jin nodded and said: "The two armies are fighting, and I don't know what the outcome will be. The rebel army has a numerical advantage, but the official army has a combat advantage."

Liu Fa said: "According to one theory, the official army will win. These peasant rebels are a mob without formal training. Although they have a numerical advantage, they cannot compete with the Xia army who often fight on the northwest border." Compared with the Western Army's tiger and wolf divisions, this numerical advantage is only useful when facing those showy Forbidden Forces in the mainland that are not well trained."

Zhai Jin answered in a daze: "Yes, it is also a rebellion. These rebels are far from the master. They have neither long-term plans nor stable sources of money. Even the army has not been trained in advance. They rely on Full of passion."

Liu Fa glared at Zhai Jin: "How can these rebels compare with my lord? Although their rebellion is excusable, what they did is not good for us Han people. Moreover, the rebels have no discipline. Wherever they go, The damage to the local area was very serious, which is equivalent to weakening the strength of us Han people. But the lord is different. Although the lord also rebelled, he did not do anything to harm the strength of us Han people. On the contrary, he did something for us Han people. The territory has been expanded."

Zhai Jin said: "Yes, Liu Shuai, I finally know."

Liu Fa sighed: "A certain family now admires the lord more and more. These things are basically predicted by the lord. However, a certain family hopes that the lord's subsequent predictions are wrong. If future events continue to be predicted by the lord, , which means that our Han people’s Central Plains will be in catastrophe. 网”

Zhai Jin nodded and said: "The general has the same idea as Liu Shuai. The general also does not want our Han people's Central Plains to suffer disaster again, but sometimes things do not go according to our ideas."

Liu Fa shook his head and said: "It's useless to say this now. For us now, the most important thing is to strengthen our own strength, so that in the future we can prevent tragedies from happening and better save the Han family."

Zhai Jin replied: "Yes, Liu Shuai, I finally understand."

Liu Fa continued: "With the beginning of the war between the two armies, there will definitely be a large increase in the number of refugees landing on the island. You must continue to do a good job in maintaining stability."

Zhai Jin cupped his fists and said, "Yes, the general will get the order at the end."

Just as Li Xin continued to organize the transportation of refugees to Xinghan Island, he received a secret letter from Tianxiang Tower in Huai'an.

The secret letter stated that Liang Hongyu had been sentenced to the Jiaofang Division in the capital and escorted to Beijing. Liang Hongyu's father and eldest brother were both defeated and killed for delaying the war when the local army put down the Fangla Rebellion. The family was in a state of decline. Except for Liang Hongyu's younger brother Liang Zaiping, who was away on a study tour, the rest of the family were either killed or sentenced to exile or joining the Jiaofangsi.

In addition to reporting the situation of the Liang family in a secret letter, Huai'an Tianxianglou also asked Li Xin if he needed to send people to kidnap Liang Hongyu on his way to Beijing. After reading the letter, Li Xin immediately wrote back to Huai'an Tianxianglou, saying that all the situation was known, and asked them not to act rashly and to stop caring about the matter. He also gave them a new task to find out the terrain of the entire Lianghuai area. Try to get a detailed map.

After giving instructions to Tianxiang Tower in Huai'an, Li Xin immediately sent a letter to Gao Ping, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower in Tokyo. The letter asked Gao Ping to send another two thousand taels of gold to Taishi Cai, and asked Taishi Cai to come forward to rescue Liang Hongyu and let Gao Ping stay in Tokyo. Find a secluded house close to the city wall and secretly dig a tunnel leading outside the city for his own use.

Three days later, Gao Ping received a secret letter from Li Xin. After reading the secret letter, Gao Ping counted the days and found that Liang Hongyu was almost arriving in Tokyo, so he prepared two thousand taels of gold to go to Cai Mansion.

Arriving in front of the Cai Mansion, Gao Ping stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "This old man, we meet again."

The old gatekeeper of Cai Mansion looked at Gao Ping and said, "Are you the shopkeeper Gao from Tianxiang Tower in Tokyo? Are you looking for something to do with the Grand Master today?"

Gao Ping nodded and said: "Exactly, a certain family really came to see the Grand Master today for something. Please ask me to go in and inform the Grand Master."

The old man said: "Okay, then shopkeeper Gao will wait here for a moment, and the little old man will go in and report to the grand master."

A quarter of an hour later, the old man came out: "Shopkeeper Gao, please come with me, the grand master is waiting in the study."

Gao Ping led someone to carry the gold and followed the old man into Cai's house. After walking for a while, he entered the study and saw Cai Jing writing.

Gao Ping cupped his fists and said, "I'm going to pay my respects to the Grand Master."

Cai Jing raised a glance and said, "Long time no see, Shopkeeper Gao. How is the restaurant doing lately?"

Gao Ping replied: "Thank you, Grand Master, for your concern. Everything is fine."

Cai Jing nodded and said, "Well, why did Shopkeeper Gao pay homage to me today?"

Gao Ping said: "I was entrusted by my master's family to pay my respects to the Grand Master today. I hope the Grand Master will take action to save one person."

Cai Jing was surprised and said: "Oh, I wonder who your family leader wants to protect?"

Gao Ping replied: "The person the master wants to protect is a woman named Liang Hongyu. She is the daughter of General Liang of the Huai'an Navy. General Liang and his son were convicted of delaying the war opportunity during the suppression of Fangla Rebellion." He was convicted of killing and implicating his family members, and the woman was sentenced to be transferred to the Jiaofang Division in the capital."

Cai Jing said playfully: "It turns out she is a woman, and she is also the woman of a criminal. I wonder why your family leader wants to ask me to save this woman?"
