...

Li Cun wants to kill the donkey?
Li Cun did not admit it.

Chang Shengjun has never worked hard for Li Cun.

Li Cun just used his tricks, took advantage of the Changsheng Army's disloyalty, and solved the huge trouble of the Changsheng Army without bloodshed, and seized several dangerous checkpoints in northern Hebei controlled by the Changsheng Army.

Ok.

In fact, Li Cun also knew that he had ruined his character by treating Chang Shengjun like this, and that if someone came to vote for him in the future, he would definitely have more worries.

But even if Li Cun knew this clearly, Li Cun had to do this.

no way.

Who made the power of the Ever Victorious Army really too strong, so strong that even Li Cun was afraid of it.

10,000 to [-] cavalry, plus [-]+ township troops controlled by the Ever Victorious Army.

This is a huge army that can reverse the fate of the two countries.

The point is, the Ever Victorious Army has a tradition of rebellion and is not reliable at all.

Therefore, if this ever-victorious army is not dealt with properly, it will definitely become a serious problem for Li Cun.

Li Cun is not Zhao Ji, and it is absolutely impossible for him to keep the confidant of the Changsheng Army to threaten his rule.

In fact, from the moment Guo Yaoshi handed over the surrender form to Li Cun, the fate of the Changsheng Army was already doomed.

The unarmed Ever Victorious Army was easily controlled by the tens of thousands of troops led by Zhao Li.

Soon, Song Jiang and Wu Yong held a public trial against Chang Shengjun in Xiongzhou City.

——Subsequently, Song Jiang and Wu Yong would also publicly trial the Changsheng Army in Bazhou, Cangzhou, Mozhou, Xin'an Army, Baoding Army, Ansu Army, and Shun'an Army. The heads of the victorious soldiers were exchanged for the hearts of the people in northern Hebei.

For things like public trial, don't say that you are guilty, you will definitely die, even if your character is a little bit bad, it will be difficult to survive.

What's more, in the past few years, the Changsheng Army relied on Zhao Song's court. From Zhao Ji down, they have all been accustomed to the Changsheng Army, and even coaxed the Changsheng Army. The people in the area under its jurisdiction are in dire straits.

What is even more tragic is that many powerful people have become beggars because they were exploited and robbed by the Ever Victorious Army. .

The key point is last time, the Changsheng Army thought that they had voted for the Dagan Dynasty, so they could burn, kill, and loot the Song people wantonly, and then caused tens of thousands of burning, killing, and looting overnight, and even raped and looted, making northern Hebei The common people hated the soldiers of the ever-victorious army to death.

Who would have thought that Li Cun would have given the people in northern Hebei a chance to take revenge so quickly, and even arrested more than 3000 ever-victorious troops for a public trial.

So the people in northern Hebei who were persecuted by the Changsheng Army didn't take the opportunity to avenge their grievances?

As for who Song Jiang and Wu Yong are, they are the white gloves used by Li Cunyu, and I know what it means for Li Cun to let them be in charge of the public trial.

Therefore, since Guo Yaoshi did not participate in the robbery last time, and since Guo Yaoshi was also put on the public trial stand, it seemed that Li Cun's food was too ugly, so the public trial began with Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong also erected two large banners written by Li Cun himself on both sides of the public trial platform:

A letter on one side: Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil;
On the other hand, it is written: It's not that we don't report, the time has not yet come.

As soon as Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren were pushed to the public trial, countless people who had been persecuted by Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren cried and begged Song Jiang and Wu Yong to avenge them.

Song Jiang walked to the edge of the public trial stand and cupped his fists: "My Emperor Dagan has always loved the people like a son, and will never let His Majesty's good people be bullied. Fathers and folks, please rest assured, Your Majesty has issued a strict order that all the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army, No matter who it is, as long as one of you thinks he is guilty, he will be killed, and if everyone thinks he is innocent, he will be promoted and paid more."

When Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren heard that Song Jiang was going to be serious, they shouted Song Jiang's Jiaozhao, they wanted to see Li Cun, and they had made great contributions to Dagan.

But Song Jiang chopped off Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren without even raising his eyelids.

Seeing that the Daqian Dynasty really helped them avenge them, and even Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, the No. [-] and No. [-] characters in the Ever Victorious Army, said they would cut them down, so what else would the people have to restrain themselves.

kill kill kill kill kill...

kill kill kill kill kill...

kill kill kill kill kill...

Under the red-eyed shouts of the people, if one soldier of the ever-victorious army goes up, one will be cut off; if two soldiers of the ever-victorious army go up, one pair will be chopped off; ...

Seeing this scene, Guo Yaoshi's intestines were full of regrets!

If he had known that Li Cun was so ruthless, Guo Yaoshi would definitely lead the Changsheng Army to fight the Dagan Dynasty to the end, and he would never do such a stupid thing like losing his reputation.

Now Guo Yaoshi looks back and thinks about how Zhao Ji treated him:

In just a few years, Guo Yaoshi was allowed to reach the limit of a military attache in the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun continued to wear Hufu, and in just a few years, Guo Yaoshi expanded the Chang Sheng Army from [-] to [-], and let him manage all the township troops in the north of Hebei. , making him Guo Yaoshi a pivotal figure in the Zhao Song Dynasty's military, and he Guo Yaoshi is also expected to become the commander of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Heaven!
Look at Li Cun again.

When he came up, he slaughtered the Changsheng Army, clearly to cut off his reliance on Guo Yaoshi.

Moreover, Guo Yaoshi did not personally lead people to participate in the burning, killing and looting like Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren did last time, otherwise Guo Yaoshi would definitely go to the guillotine.

Guo Yaoshi knew that although he was lucky enough to temporarily save his life, just looking at Li Cun's attitude towards Chang Shengjun, he knew that his life would definitely not be easy in the future.

If life could be repeated, Guo Yaoshi would definitely choose to be a loyal minister with strong bones, and would definitely fight for the Zhao Song Dynasty and help the Zhao Song Dynasty resist the invasion of the Dagan Dynasty.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong don't mention how ruthless they are.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong killed all the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army who the people wanted to kill without exception.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong also chose to kill those soldiers of the ever-victorious army who could be killed or not.

At the end of the killing, heads rolled and blood flowed into rivers, hundreds of executioners all cut their knives sharply.

As a result, the [-] victorious troops were killed by Song Jiang and Wu Yong, leaving less than a thousand.

The remaining less than a thousand soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army, I dare not say that they are all saints, but they are definitely good people, and they have never committed any crimes. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to walk away from the public trial presided over by Song Jiang and Wu Yong down.

I want to ask whether the soldiers of the Changsheng Army who were killed by Song Jiang, Wu Yong and the people in northern Hebei were killed unjustly?
To tell the truth, he must be guilty of death.

But only because Song Jiang and Wu Yong seized tens of millions of pieces of property, gold, silver and jewelry, as well as thousands of prostitutes from the corpses and barracks of these Ever Victorious Army soldiers, most of them died unjustly.

——If they hadn't committed many crimes, how could they collect so much property?Got so many women?
Faced with the result that the Ever Victorious Army was almost killed, everyone knew that the Ever Victorious Army had completely become history, and there would never be another Ever Victorious Army in the future.

Those people who were bullied by the ever-victorious army all sang praises to Li Cun.

What made the people in northern Hebei sing praises to Li Cun was that Li Cun subsequently transferred 300 million shi of grain from Yandi to relieve the victims in northern Hebei, and at the same time confiscated the fields of the gentry and nobles in northern Hebei to use them as labor relief. Distributed to the people in the northern part of Hebei.

What needs to be explained is that those rich and unkind dignitaries, dignitaries and gentry in northern Hebei were all sent to the public trial by Song Jiang and Wu Yong.

In addition, in view of the fact that there are more than [-] township troops here in northern Hebei, if they are not handled properly, it will be a major problem. Li Cun specially recruited [-] brave soldiers in the northern area of ​​Hebei. As a supplementary force to the regular army.

After Li Cun's combination punched, the northern part of Hebei was completely recovered by Li Cun.

At this time, Li Cuncai led his troops to continue south...

……

in fact--

As early as October when Li Cungang returned to Yanjing, Zhan Du, the prefect of Zhongshan Prefecture, who had been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Yanyun area, had repeatedly reported to the Zhao and Song courts, saying that the Dagan Dynasty had signs of invading south, reminding Zhao Ji and his officials to hurry up Prepare to meet the enemy.

But Zhan Du's efforts were all in vain, Zhao Ji Junchen did not pay due attention to Zhan Du's reminder at all.

In fact, Cai Jing also repeatedly reported to the Zhao and Song courts, saying that the Dagan Dynasty had signs of going south to attack the Song Dynasty. He also used a silver medal horse to urgently report to the Zhao and Song courts, and Cai Jing also notified the major passes It is necessary to be prepared to prevent the army from going south.

However, after receiving these urgent reports, Cai You, who was in charge of the Privy Council, thought it was just a local conflict on the border. He felt that it would be too late to deal with it after the suburban ceremony was over, so he concealed all these reports and did not report them. , As a result, Zhao Ji didn't even know that the Dagan Dynasty had conquered the Song Dynasty.

The so-called suburban ceremony is actually a great gift for the emperors of the Zhao and Song Dynasties to worship heaven and earth. This is a symbol of the emperor's status and a sign of the legitimacy of the emperor's regime.

Worshiping the sky on the winter solstice is an activity that the rulers of all dynasties attach great importance to, and it is a national ceremony.

The etiquette of worshiping heaven in the Zhao and Song Dynasties was mainly manifested in the "three-year-old, one-parent suburban system", that is, once every three years, on the day of the winter solstice, in the southern suburb of Tokyo, the emperor personally presided over the sacrifice to Haotian.

This is not only different from the rituals held by the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty in person every year, but also different from that of the descendants.

The "three-year-old one-parent suburban system" is said to have begun with Qin Shihuang, but it seems that it was not really implemented before the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

The "three-year-old one-parent suburban system" of the Zhao Song Dynasty actually started from the Song Renzong period, and has been strictly followed by successive Zhao Song emperors since then.

Zhao Ji, who likes to be lively and luxurious, has always attached great importance to holding grand ceremonies. During his 25 years in power, he personally presided over [-] grand ceremonies, including Nanjiao Grand Ceremonies and Mingtang Grand Ceremonies.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is grand and cumbersome, and it often takes a long time to prepare.

During this period, customs reports from the north poured into the Privy Council like snowflakes.

Cai You believes that if these customs reports are played at this time, not only will the festive atmosphere of the suburban ceremonies be destroyed, but also the sacrifices of the Zhao Song Dynasty will be destroyed, which will have a negative impact on the rule of the Zhao Song Dynasty. All reports were concealed.

Moreover, Cai You not only did not report these customs reports to Zhao Ji, but he did not even tell the prime ministers Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan.

in fact--

The reason why Cai You is so courageous is mainly because Cai You feels that Tong Guan personally sits in the Hedong area, and there is a strong Changsheng army guarding the Hebei area. In Bianliang City, Tokyo, no matter how urgent it is, there will be no shortage of suburban ceremonies these days, so Zhao Ji’s good mood and the suburban ceremonies that Zhao Ji attaches great importance to should not be spoiled. Not much of an impact.

But in the future, customs declarations are getting more urgent and more every day.

Finally, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan also heard the news.

Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan hurried to find Cai You and asked about it.

Cai You saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan the truth.

After Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan learned of this incident, they worried that once these customs declarations were made public, it would cause panic among the people in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Therefore, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, together with Cai You, suppressed these customs reports and did not report them to Zhao Ji.

During this period, Cai You, Bai Shizhong, and Li Bangyan would go to the Dutang secretly to discuss how to deal with the invasion of the Daqian Dynasty every day, and they would discuss until very late every day.

But these three guys who know nothing but flattery, how can they discuss a solution to such a big matter?

Therefore, Cai You, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan were just wasting the precious time of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

It was delayed until Tong Guandu ran back from Taiyuan to Bianliang City in Tokyo, and the news that the Dagan Dynasty had gone south to attack Song Dynasty spread in Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Until now, Zhao Ji was still kept in the dark.

Zhao Ji broke the rules and made Tong Guan the eunuch king. The purpose was to let Tong Guan sit in Hedong and Hebei, and help the Zhao Song Dynasty prevent the Dagan Dynasty from going south. It can be said that Zhao Ji placed high hopes and even great trust on Tong Guan.

But Tong Guan didn't fight the first battle, so he left the frontline battle and ran back to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

In terms of behavior, Tong Guan has not only failed Zhao Ji's high hopes and trust, but also constituted serious dereliction of duty.

However, what is amazing is that Cai You, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and other Zhao Song Dynasty chief executives not only did not pursue Tong Guan's dereliction of duty, but also invited Tong Guan to the Dutang to discuss how to deal with the invasion of the Daqian Dynasty.

In the final analysis, Cai You, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and other Zaizhi of the Zhao Song Dynasty appointed by Zhao Ji himself were too incompetent. Facing the "sudden" invasion of the Dagan Dynasty, they were really helpless and had no way to deal with it. None, I can only pin my hopes on Tong Guan, a man who has commanded soldiers all his life.

The day after Tong Guan returned to Bianliang City in Tokyo, envoys Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong sent by Li Cun also came to Bianliang City in Tokyo.

After Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong arrived in Bianliang City, Tokyo, they asked to meet Zhao Ji and hand in the letter of war.

But all the ministers dared not introduce Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong to Zhao Ji.

Later, Zhao Ji did not know where he heard that the Dagan Dynasty sent envoys to the Zhao Song Dynasty, and ordered Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan to receive Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong as ambassadors.

After the meeting, Wang Jieru said: "Last year, your family and the Kingdom of Jin jointly attacked my Dagan Yanyun area. My emperor was kind enough to ask your family to cede Hedong and Hebei to my family. The two families will use Dahe as the boundary, and then compensate my family 1000 million in gold. Ingots, 2000 million ingots of silver, and 1000 million bolts of silk will forgive your family for committing serious crimes, but your family has never resolved the problem. Now the emperor of my family has issued an imperial decree to avenge this crime and punish the people. Today My family's army has been dispatched, so I'm here to tell you."

After hearing Wang Jieru's words, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other ministers in charge of Zhao and Song Dynasty were all shocked and dared not speak.

Bai Shizhong asked cautiously: "How can I slow down my master?"

Xiao Rong replied: "Ceding the land and indemnifying the ministers."

When Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other prime ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty heard the conditions relayed by Xiao Rong, their expressions changed drastically and they dared not reply.

Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other prime ministers of Zhao Song Dynasty discussed for a long time in the capital hall, and finally gave Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong a lot of gifts, and asked Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong to go back first. After they discussed what to do , Then send an envoy to meet Li Cun.

A few days later, the suburban ceremony was finally over.

At the same time, the Privy Council received an urgent note from Zhang Xiaochun, asking the imperial court to dispatch an army to rescue Taiyuan City.

At this time, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other ministers in charge of Zhao Song Dynasty wanted to conceal Zhao Ji and not report the war on the front line.

But then, Zhan Du's [-]-mile express was sent to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhan Du said in the memorial: "The great cadres have parted ways and joined the bandits, and the Changsheng army has descended from Guo Yaoshi down."

On this day, Zhan Du sent three bursts of [-] miles to expedite, explaining the emergency situation on the front line.

Only then did Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other ministers in charge of Zhao and Song Dynasty realize the seriousness of the problem and knew that they could no longer hide Zhao Ji's secret from Zhao Ji. Report this to Zhao Ji.

But Tong Guan and Cai You reported it to Zhao Ji, but they did not dare to tell the truth, that is, they did not dare to tell Zhao Ji that Guo Yaoshi had led the Changsheng Army to surrender, because it was because of Tong Guan and Cai You Tong Guan and Cai You, who advocated reusing Guo Yaoshi, feared that Zhao Ji would hold them accountable.

Tong Guan and Cai You said to Zhao Ji: "Tie Li has personally led the army to go south. The Changsheng Army is surrounded by the bandits. The front line is in a hurry."

Zhao Ji was frightened and panicked when he heard the words.

After reacting, Zhao Ji hurriedly summoned all the ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty to discuss countermeasures, and said that it was impossible, so he decreed to appoint Guo Yaoshi as the governor of the Yongqing Army and named him King of Ji; Zhang Linghui was named King of the County, Cut Hebei to Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui and other generals of the ever-victorious army, and let them guard it for generations.

Then, Zhao Ji urgently issued an imperial edict, asking the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty to write to Chen Xian's interests and find a way to solve the invasion of the Dagan Dynasty.

Ever since Zhao Ji discovered the secret of Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng, Liang Shicheng has been neglected by Zhao Ji.

But there is one difference between Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu who wanted to abolish the crown prince Zhao Huan, that is, Liang Shicheng always put his treasure on Zhao Huan, protected Zhao Huan everywhere, and rescued Zhao Huan out of danger several times.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji just snubbed Liang Shicheng, but did not let Liang Shicheng get off his horse.

Now that the situation has collapsed to this point, Zhao Ji really didn't know what to do, so he called Liang Shicheng and said: "When the northern incident started, everyone else misunderstood me. Only the grand master can't join forces with the gold to attack the dry, so far. , can the master teach me anything?"

Liang Shicheng listened to the words and asked Zhao Ji to come over.

Zhao Ji followed it.

Liang Shicheng whispered in Zhao Ji's ear: "Now Li thief uses the excuse of slandering the people to attack the people as an excuse to send troops. The official family is not as good as Zen in the crown prince, so that Li thief has no excuse to invade the south. This matter may be easily resolved."

Of course Zhao Ji couldn't listen to Liang Shicheng's one-sided words.

But Liang Shicheng's words provided Zhao Ji with an idea.

A few days later, Zhao Ji heard that Li Cun had personally led an army across Gaoyang.

Zhao Ji hurriedly issued an edict to appoint the crown prince Zhao Huan as the shepherd of Kaifeng.

Kaifeng animal husbandry was not often placed in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

——Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi and Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng both became Kaifeng herdsmen first, and then became emperors.

At this time, Zhao Ji asked Zhao Huan to be the shepherd of Kaifeng. The purpose was actually to let Zhao Huan stay in Bianliang City, Tokyo to resist the invasion of the Gan army, and Zhao Ji actually had the idea of ​​​​fleeing to Chang'an at this time.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ji summoned Zhao Huan and gave Zhao Huan a paifang jade belt.

According to the etiquette regulations of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the paifang jade belt can only be used by the emperor.

At this time, Zhao Ji gave Zhao Hengpai Fang Yudai, in fact, to show the ministers that Zhao Huan can issue orders as the emperor while staying in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

After that, Zhao Ji gave Zhao Heng two concubines, the talented Zheng Qingyun and his wife Zheng Yaogong.

——These two daughters are relatives of Empress Zheng.

At the beginning, when Zhao Ji came to the throne, the queen mother gave him two maids.

Zhao Ji is imitating the queen mother.

Of course, this is also Zhao Ji's attempt to appease Zhao Huan's heart, and let Zhao Huan feel at ease to resist the invasion of Qianjun in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhao Ji is even hinting at Zhao Huan: "My dear son, if you behave well enough, I will pass on the throne to you."
