Section 48 Banquet
All of this stack of memorials were impeached by Wang Bing. The impeachment was varied. In addition to the matters related to the wars during the Jingkang period, it was also said that when Wang Bing was in the Western Army, he secretly crossed the front line and hunted down the yaks from the Qingtang tribe. He also said that when he was conquering Fang La, Wang Bing competed for merit with Liu Yanqing. He was a remnant of Wang Bing who was called Wang Bing and had no ability. He relied on flattering Tong Guan to climb up.
Wang Bing was originally a military general and was not good at speaking. He could only kneel down and knock his forehead to the ground: "I am wronged."
Seeing that scaring Wang Bing had achieved the effect, Zhao Huan happily asked Wang Bing to rise up and expressed that he did not believe in the charges of these crimes and framed him, but also extremely contempt. "It was the knowledge of these big turbans." He trusted Wang Bing extremely.
During the conversation, Zhao Huan conveyed the message: All the glory, wealth, life, death, honor and disgrace that you Wang Bing is based on my trust in you. If one day I don’t believe you, these memorials will make you doomed.
Wang Bing was frightened and expressed his gratitude to Zhao Huan for his kindness.
After this artificiality, the conversation between the monarch and his subjects got to the point.
"How many troops are there in the total strength of the Shengjie Army and the Hebei Defense Army?"
"There are a total of more than 80,000 people, and 70,000 followers have arrived in Bianliang, and more than 10,000 people guard the Mengjin Ferry."
"I heard that the Jin thieves and the East and West Route Army had a total of more than 200,000. Is this true?"
"This number is almost the same."
Zhao Huan pondered for a moment and said, "Now there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Yanjing, plus the imperial guards in the capital. Can you fight against the Jin thieves?"
"I have just arrived in Bianliang, but have not yet attended the military discussion at Baihu Hall, so I dare not speak out."
Zhao Huan Xing calculated to Wang Bing: "The capital's access imperial guards for 40,000, Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangguo's father and son more than 100,000, and the capital's imperial guards for more than 100,000, plus the 100,000 people you brought, isn't this close to 300,000?"
Wang Bing did not answer immediately. The officials had no idea about marching and fighting. The 200,000 people who were pieced together were sleeping in the open air in the white mountains and black water winds. They experienced the defeat of Liao, attacking Yan, and attacking the Song soldiers. They were simply incomparable. Moreover, Zhao Huan seemed to have calculated the total number of Song soldiers incorrectly and counted the imperial guards in the capital twice.
After careful consideration, Wang Bing replied: "The orders are different, and they are not the opponent of the Jin thief."
Wang Bing has anything else to say. The emperor calculated that all the numbers on paper, and it was a blessing that half of the real force could be. In the battle of Yanyun a year ago, Tong Guan wanted to draw 50,000 troops from the capital's access imperial guards. He Guan, the Duke of the Infantry Department, recruited tens of thousands of idle people in the capital to gather all the people. What's more, he has experienced several major defeats such as Yanyun and Hedong, and has lost 600,000 infantry soldiers.
Zhao Huan showed unhesitation: "Is he the lord of peace?" It seemed that Zhao Huan was in charge of war in his heart.
"No," Wang Bing didn't want the official to misunderstand himself. "My eldest son was trapped in Taiyuan. My enemies with the Jin thieves were as deep as the sea, and he would never say goodbye." Wang Bing briefly explained the victory and defeat of military tactics to the official: "Only when the time, place, and people are all in place can the thief be defeated."
"Where is the time?"
"It's winter now. As long as the soldiers are well equipped with food and clothing and do not suffer from the pain of cold and hunger, they can get the time."
"What is a good place?" "As long as you defend the city of Bianliang, you can get a good place."
"What is harmony of people?"
"The top and the bottom are united, the orders are unified, and the orders are prohibited, and they can be said to be harmonious."
The order was unified? Zhao Huan hesitated. He remained silent and gave Wang Bing a royal horse and a set of golden saddles. This was a rare honor. He just had no answer to the question of the residence of Shengjie Army raised by Wang Bing.
The eunuch responsible for selecting the horses for Wang Bing was a perfect official. Although Zhao Huan was kind to Wang Bing today, the eunuch immediately determined that the martial arts man, the sage clan, was the object he had to flatter. So he personally picked up a mount called "Iron Li" from Tiansijian. The biological mother of the ninth prince Zhao Gou, who is now the ninth prince, was the one who rode this horse to play polo. He was attracted by the emperor and became pregnant with a dragon seed and soared into the sky. Therefore, this "Iron Li" is regarded as a lucky horse that will bring good luck to the master.
Wang Bing returned to Hu Yanzhuo's mansion, and wanted to find a quiet place to ask Hu Yanzhuo, the Bianliangtong who often stayed in the capital, for some advice, but Hu Yanzhuo held a banquet again and asked Wang Bing to attend. There were several guests at the table.
Hu Yanzhuo sat in the main seat, with a civil servant sitting on the upper seat, and the rest accompanied Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangguo's father and son, Hu Yanzhuo's nephew Hu Yantong, Liu Yan, the commander of the Eastern Army who rescued Taiyuan for the third time, Jie Qian, the commander of the Central Army, Yao Youzhong, who is now a commander in the front office of the Palace, and Wang Bing, the former general of the Western Army, Xin Qizong, and Wang Bing.
Hu Yanzhuo laughed and said, "The chief minister is back, let's have a banquet. Come on, Zheng minister, I recommend you. This is the Associate Privy Council, the governor of Dengzhou, and the general manager of the South Road Zhang Shuye Zhang Longtu." Because Zhang Shuye is a direct scholar in the Longtu Pavilion.
Wang Bing still had some impression of Zhang Shuye. Many years ago, Zhang Shuye served as the military officer in Lanzhou and built a city called Xi'anzhou near Lanzhou to effectively protect Lanzhou. A civil servant had such insight and decisive execution, which caused a sensation among the Western Army.
After everyone exchanged greetings and sat down, Hu Yanzhuo talked about the reason for this banquet. As the chief supervisor of the South Road, Zhang Shuye led 15,000 people to Bianliang for assistance ten days ago. He was just appointed as the Assistant Privy Council by Zhao Huan a few days ago, and actually became the head of the highest military and political institution of the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Shuye was worried about city defense. Since he was appointed, he has taken the initiative to post widely to contact all military officers in Beijing, hoping that everyone would be united and virtuous to resist the Jin thieves. But all the military officials in Beijing are rooted, so how could they be moved as soon as they are invited? Although Zhang Shuye has a high status, he really couldn't help but wait for all the military officers to come to visit him, so he came to visit him in person. And he also heard that Wang Bing lived in Huyanzhuo's mansion, so he ran over.
Zhang Shuye was always worried about Zhao Huan's uncertainty. He originally recruited 150,000 Yi soldiers on Southwest Road and Jinghu North Road to Beijing to serve the king, but because the ruling suggested that since he wanted to make peace with the Jin people and recruit so many soldiers to support the king, he seemed insincere and would anger the Jin people. So all the reinforcements Zhang Shuye recruited were disbanded. This time, he only brought more than 10,000 people into the capital in a hasty manner, but Zhao Huan was still in a state of unrest and hesitated.
So he asked Wang Bing: "Wang Jieshuai entered the palace today to meet the saint. What are the official instructions?"
Wang Bing fought all the way on the battlefield and eventually became the governor. He had the open-minded character of a "real general", but it was not without any meticulousness. He pondered for a moment: "The official heard that he was about to fight the Jin thief to the death and gave him a Golden Stand BMW."
He did not lie, but to others, the golden saddle BMW was naturally used to reward Wang Bing's fighting spirit.
Hu Yantong listened to the next first time and slapped the table: "Okay! The official family is indeed a brave one, not as unparalleled as the Emperor of the Supreme."
Hu Yanzhuo glared at his reckless nephew: "Where is your turn to speak? Listen carefully from the side and gain knowledge. If you speak nonsense, you will drive you out." Hu Yantong is now the commander of the Longjie army, just a small envoy. If it weren't for the legitimate son who Hu Yanzhuo had been trained with all his heart, it would be impossible for him to have dinner with the Assistant Privy Council and the Jiedushi.
Liu Yanqing persuaded him a few words and made a smooth move, but he had not thought about what to say next. Today's banquet was initiated by Hu Yanzhuo after Zhang Shuye's visit. Liu Yanqing was not fully prepared.
Now, the garrison forces of Bianliang, except for the people brought by Wang Bing and Zhang Shuye, 40,000 yuan of the access imperial guards were directly controlled by the three yamen. Yao Youzhong was the general of the Palace Front Office, while Hu Yanzhuo was in charge of the Longjie Army and occupied 40% of the troops of the guards' personal army. Liu Yu, Jie Qian and Liu Yanqing were the generals of the defeated army and seized the post and the management, but after all, they were the commander, and the official family would still listen to the suggestions of these last generals. Moreover, the more than 10,000 people led by Liu Yanqing and his son were mainly the remnants of the Huanqing Army, and finally had some experience in the enemy. The remaining 100,000 people, the imperial guards, the wing army, the local soldiers, and the archers were able to escape without hearing the news, which was considered a strong army.
Therefore, the people here today have mastered more than half of the defense forces of Bianliang. If the few people here can reach an agreement first, they can even exert decisive influence on the officials.
But what is the most beneficial to Liu Yanqing? As a man who fought all the way from the generals to become a governor, Liu Yanqing was very good at speculation. It was speculation that he was able to surpass the old Chinese army Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu, who were old in the Western Army, and first obtained the high position of Taibao and Jiedu.
However, the battle against Liao was defeated, and the battle against Jin was defeated again, and Liu Yanqing was detained as a post. In his opinion, it was not difficult to make a comeback, just find a good backer. Cai Jing and Tong Guan were already dead and destroyed, and Zhang Shuye in front of him was very popular. He was the assistant minister, and Tong Guan was just the deputy privy councilor. Liu Yanqing had to do the same thing as he liked.
But Zhang Shuye seems to be the main battle. After all, Liu Yanqing is old and he believes that fighting with the Jin soldiers will definitely lead to defeat, so it is better to make peace. How should we deal with this?
Fortunately, he brought his son. Liu Yanqing's second son Liu Guangshi had led the Luyan army and successfully moved forward in all battles and successfully preserved his strength. Now, whether it is war or harmony, Liu Guangshi is a force that must be considered.
The 15,000 people from the remaining troops of the Huanqing Army are now in Chenzhou, and Liu Yanqing himself has been seized. In theory, he has no power to lead these people, but he has not dispersed with Liu Yanqing's remaining power back then. Now he should implement his own command first. Before coming, Liu Yanqing had already explained the way to Liu Guangguo.
At this time, Liu Yanqing winked at Liu Guangguo, and Liu Guangguo also slapped his face: "Dad, don't stop Hu Yan's brothers. If you can't fight off the Jin thieves, the child is in vain with the surname Liu. The child is willing to lead his subordinates to assassinate the Jin marshal."
