The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 198 Changes in Liangshan
Duan Yichang couldn't help being slightly dazed after hearing what Zhao Tun said, this is not a military matter, nor is it a secret, this is an old account.

However, this matter involved the Liao Kingdom, and he was a person of the county king level. He thought for a moment and said: "My lord, it is not difficult to write a letter on this matter. I am afraid that my father will avoid suspicion and refuse to speak lightly of the rights and wrongs of the people of the Liao Kingdom."

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "It's just a piece of the past, you said you met Xiao Feng's daughter and wanted to ask what happened, your father will definitely explain the cause and effect in detail."

Duan Yichang blinked when he heard the words, is this King Qi telling him to lie?Although this matter does not sound like a hidden sinister, it is deceiving the emperor after all.

Zhao Tuo watched his expression, smiled and said: "Although it is a lottery agreement, how can I let Prince Duan work hard for nothing, how about I also promise Prince Duan one thing?"

Duan Yichang's heart suddenly moved when he heard the words, and after careful consideration, the other party just wanted to inquire about some old things, not even family and country affairs. If so, it's not impossible to write this letter, and he just happened to Take this opportunity to bring up the matter of Mo Bao.

He nodded and said: "My lord gave Yi Chang a calligraphy of Chang Acacia, and Yi Chang wrote a letter to my lord!"

Zhao Tang suddenly understood that this passage of Yi Chang wanted his own poems, so he couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "That's very good!"

Time passed in a blink of an eye, it was the end of March, these days, every morning when Zhao Tuan went to court, he would discuss the war in Hebei and Anhui.

Fortunately, Hebei has returned to a military state, and Hebei borders Liao, so there is room for buffering, so the situation will not get worse.

But things were not so good in West Anhui. Deng Xunwu led his troops to conquer Wang Qing. He won two battles in Shuzhou at the beginning, and almost regained Shuzhou, but then he didn't know what went wrong. Reversed, retreated steadily, and lost all the way to Luzhou, and now he is defending Luzhou city.

In the Zichen Hall, the Emperor Daojun looked at the two classes of civil and military, and said: "Do you have a clever plan to break the thief?"

I saw Tong Guan come out of the squad and said: "Officials, please transfer the Western Army to hunt for thieves!"

The Emperor Daojun frowned and said nothing, Xue Ang, Minister of the Ministry of War, also came out of the class and said: "Officials, ministers second."

At this time, Shangshu Youcheng Li Bangyan came out of the squad and said: "Officials, I think it is not appropriate to transfer the Western Army at this time."

Emperor Daojun said: "What's wrong?"

Holding the wat board in his hand, Li Bangyan bowed his head and said, "I thought that if we were to attack at the beginning, we would transfer the western army, but now the imperial court has sent the Jingji forbidden army twice to hunt down the thieves. Although the battle is not good, we will dispatch it now." Xi Jun, I'm afraid... there will be criticism!"

Zhao Tong glanced at him from the opposite side, what does Li Bangyan mean?Is it because he is afraid of losing the face of the officials, or that he will increase the prestige of the Western Army?
Tong Guan immediately went out of the class again and said: "Officials, I think it's not the case. It's a big deal to ask for thieves, and other things are minor. You should put the thieves first!"

The Emperor Daojun closed his eyes and thought for a while on the dragon chair, then opened his eyes and said, "What do you think, Taishi Cai?"

Cai Jing was already in his seventies at this time, his beard and hair were all white, and his face was wrinkled. He walked out of the shift tremblingly and said: "Officials, the old minister thinks it is too early to transfer the Western Army. Although Deng Xunwu has not recovered Shuzhou, But Luzhou has not been lost, although the battle looks unfavorable, but the battlefield changes rapidly, and it cannot be said that we will definitely lose in the end."

Emperor Daojun thought about it: "Since Luzhou is not lost, it is indeed impossible to say defeat, then urge Deng Xunwu, let him not delay the opportunity of the battle, and quickly wipe out the rebels."

Cai Jing said yes, and said: "Officials, the old minister has something to say."

The Emperor Daojun said: "Aiqing just say it."

Cai Jingdao: "Your Majesty, the origin of the gang of bandits who attacked Jiangzhou before this year has been found out, and they are now in Liangshanbo in Jezhou, Shandong."

Emperor Daojun had never heard of this place before, so he thought for a while and said, "Since we found out the history, why didn't Jeju send troops to destroy it?"

Cai Jingdao: "Officials, Jeju has sent a memorial, saying that Liangshan bandits are powerful, and now they have gathered tens of thousands of people, specializing in attacking good farmers around, robbing food and wealth, and Jeju sent troops several times, but they were invincible."

The Emperor Daojun was immediately displeased and said, "Could it be better than that Tian Hu Wang Qing?"

Cai Jing bowed and said, "That's really incomparable. It's just to prevent Liangshan from becoming bigger and repeating the mistakes of Tian Hu and Wang Qing. I also ask the officials to make a clear decision early."

The Emperor Daojun frowned and waved his hands: "Now that Wang Qing is attacking the city and occupying land, this Liangshan is only attacking some of the surrounding Zhuangzi, and has not yet affected the state capital. It will not be too late to destroy Liangshan after Wang Qing is pacified!"

Cai Jing said yes and returned to the class.

Zhao Tong sneered in his heart, if it wasn't for Cai Dezhang, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, Cai Jing would have suppressed the matter and concealed the report lately. Liangshan has more soldiers and horses now, and they have already started to plunder Zhuangzi. .

Regarding the matter of Liangshan, no one spoke up again, and the two classes of civil and military people didn't understand this place, and it seemed that such a person who occupied the mountain as king and harassed the surrounding bandits was not too much in the Song Dynasty, so no one took it too seriously.

Tong Guan said again at this time: "Officials, the Western Army..."

The Emperor Daojun interrupted him: "It's really too early to transfer the Western Army to hunt down the thieves, but..."

He glanced at Zhao Tang and Gao Qiu, and said calmly: "The imperial army is not good in the war, and the two divisions have to be held accountable. Why can't they train soldiers like the Western army?"

Zhao Tong bowed his head and said nothing, he had nothing to say.

Over there, Gao Qiu immediately showed a guilty conscience, and went out of the shift and said: "Officials, ministers are not good at managing soldiers, please punish the officials."

Emperor Daojun said: "Punishment will be temporarily waived, but the leaders below should be changed. I will select a few people from the Western Army and transfer them to the army below the two divisions."

Gao Qiu was taken aback when he heard the words, not knowing what the emperor meant, he said, "The officials are wise."

Zhao Tong was expressionless on the side, but there was a slight turmoil in his heart. It was probably at this time that Emperor Daojun once transferred a group of young generals from the Western Army to fill the two divisions and three government offices. He couldn't remember exactly who was among them.

After a while, the emperor Daojun summoned Tong Guan to play alone, and the others left the palace.

Back in the mansion, after Zhao Tun had tea, he walked to the small building in the back house, and saw that the flower garden was already green, and some precocious flowers were already in bud.

There was no one in the courtyard, so Zhao Tun sat down on the stone pier alone, the warm wind blew in, and the fragrance of the grass and trees hit people, and he was a little intoxicated for a while.

"My lord?" Jin'er suddenly turned around from behind the building, and saw Zhao Tong rushing over to greet her.

Zhao Tong said, "Where is Zhenniang?"

Jin'er said: "The lady is playing with the small garden behind the building, so she ordered me to fetch water."

Zhao Tun nodded, and said, "Go pick it up yourself, I'll walk around as I please."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the back of the building, only to see a small flower garden had opened up behind, although it was only half the size of the front, but it also planted a lot of things, and the young lady was weeding with flowers.

He stood there watching for a while, and turned around when he saw Jin'er carrying water. Just as Jin'er was about to speak, Zhao Tong made a silent gesture with a smile on his face, and under Jin'er's suspicious eyes, he slowly walked away .

After returning to the study, just as Zhao Tong sat down, Lei San knocked on the door and walked in, saying: "My lord, the eyeliner at Liangshan sent a secret letter, which was delivered by Dai Zong himself."

Zhao Tong nodded, after Wang Manyin left last time, he had deployed people around Liangshan, and he had already connected with Dai Zong, but if there was anything to do, he didn't have to come to the capital, just hand it over to the eyeliner.

Zhao Tong took the letter and opened it to read it, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, it turned out that Zhujiazhuang was attacked three times in Liangshan, and it got money and food, and the population was countless, and its strength became stronger.

He then took a closer look, and when he saw something at the end, he couldn't help showing surprise on his face...
