…

After returning to his home, Cai still regretted the impulse of last night!

I want to blame the wine, but this excuse cannot be reused, nor can I always use it.

The main reason is that Cai still made a mistake last night, which doesn’t seem to have much to do with drinking.

At this moment, Cai still understood his benevolent wife Cao a little bit. He thought to himself: "It's really not that Lao Cao is, it's really a temptation. As long as he is a real man, he can't resist it at all!"

"Forget it, now that things have come to this point, why do you think about these things? Let's find a way to be independent first. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a big deal to always be so sneaky."

After thinking about this, Cai still sent someone to find his father-in-law Zhu Boliang and asked him to send his family to the Jinwu Army as soon as possible. Cai still attaches great importance to talents. However, Cai still arranged them properly for the talents who served him, but even their family members arranged them properly, trying to make them follow him wholeheartedly.

Not only these literati, but even Chen Gou, Li Gang, Li Guang, Chen Gongfu, Chen Kangbo, Qiu Xun, Guo Yong, Tang Chong, Zhao Kai, Hu Shijiang, Liu Ziyu, Hu Yanqing and others, Cai still asked them to take their families over.

Cai still said to them: "This time we go north to recover Yanyun. If we succeed, you will definitely be an official in Yanyun and settle in Yanyun. The problem of Huhan mixed ethnic group in Yanyun is extremely serious. Taking over your family will help you integrate there, stabilize people's hearts, and gain a foothold there. When encountering situations of sticking to the city, it will also help you strengthen the hearts of the people."

No one could have thought that Cai Jian’s idea was to take Yan Yun and not leave, and then no one doubted Cai Jian’s motives.

As a result, most people took their families as Cai Gan said and temporarily placed them in the Jinwu Army.

...

This day.

Finally, Zhao Ji made up his mind and found Cai Jian and talked with Cai Jian.

As soon as they met, Zhao Ji said straight to the point: "My dear, I am going to appoint you as the commander of Hedong. After the Chinese New Year, I will command the Jinwu army to go north to Hedong to recover Yundi for me."

actually--

Cai Shen was already mentally prepared for this, and Li Gang once analyzed for Cai Shen that the court would probably send him to Hedong to recover Yundi, and then Tong Guan would recover Yandi to regulate the conflict between him and Tong Guan.

But although I already knew the result, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when I heard this from Zhao Ji with my own ears!

Zhao Ji also saw Cai Shen's disappointment. He said, "Don't think too much about it. It's really the Jurchen envoy who never let go of the issue of Yundi belonging. I am worried that the Jurchens will not honestly give Yundi to our Song Dynasty, so I want my good friend to occupy it first."

Don’t worry about the truth or falsehood, an emperor has already explained it to you patiently, which is enough to give you a face.

Yue Fei in history did not understand this principle, so Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei and made Yue Fei a tragic hero.

Cai is still not Yue Fei, and he doesn't want to be a tragic hero like Yue Fei.

Therefore, Cai still bowed and said, "As long as the officials think it is better for me to recover Yundi, I am willing to go to Hedong."

Seeing that Cai Shen had let go, Zhao Ji helped Cai Shen up with a look of relief and said, "You are really aware of the general idea!"

Cai still explained: "I have always insisted before, because I think that only by leading troops to Hebei first can we not miss opportunities for war and will be the most beneficial to our Song Dynasty."

Cai still said with a little disappointment: "It seems that now, it may be that I am too young and have not thought it carefully."

Zhao Ji also knew that Cai Shen felt a little wronged. Originally, he was not allowed to be the commander of regaining Yan Yun, and he should have been allowed to lead the army to Hebei first and serve as the commander in advance. But because Tong Guan was separated, he finally took Cai Shen to Hedong!

Based on the grievances that Cai still suffered, Zhao Ji wanted to give some compensation, so he said: "I will hand over all the way to Hedong, Hedong and Yundi to me. When I have no choice, I can issue an order in my name."

The meaning of Zhao Ji's words is already very clear, which is equivalent to granting Cai the imperial power.

To be honest, based on Zhao Ji's current performance and attitude towards Cai Jian, without considering his incompetence or the Jingkang shame he caused, Cai Jian was a little moved by the idea of ​​"Why... be honest to be a Song minister?"

but--

Soon, Cai still suppressed this idea.

First of all, the dispute between Cai and Zhao Ji is not a dispute between two people, but a struggle for the fate of a nation. This cannot be changed because of a person's emotions and impression of a person.

Secondly, Cai Shen has gone too far now, and has no turning back. As long as Zhao Ji knows, Cai Shen brings all the people who have gathered Fang La to Taiwan Island to establish his own base. Zhao Ji will never let Cai Shen go.

Therefore, Cai not only suppressed his negative emotions, but also continued to strengthen himself and said: "Officials, I will go to Hedong. Can I transfer the troops and horses from the three states of Feng, Linfu?"

The area of ​​Feng and the Three Prefectures of Linfu was a place between Qiang and Hu before the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The Sui Dynasty built Shengzhou in Hetao, the city of Zhou was in the 12 Liancheng in later generations, and the three states of Linfu Feng were within their jurisdiction.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Shengzhou Liangu was stolen, and Yincheng was established in Linzhou. At that time, Fugu was a town in Linzhou.

During the Five Dynasties, the Jin Dynasty established prefectures, and Emperor Taizong of Song built Fengzhou.

From then on, Lin, Fu and Feng were the three prefectures of the Song Dynasty, and the system remained unchanged throughout the Northern Song Dynasty until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Located outside the river, the three prefectures of Linfu Feng are connected by land and land, forming a self-organized one. They are in the clouds, between the West River, and across the river from the East. They have a very special status. They are not only strategic places that control the northwest, block the Liao and Xia, and block the Hedong, but also are multi-ethnic areas where "the foreign and the Han dynasties live together", with the residents mainly Dangxiang tribes.

The Northern Song Dynasty court set up the Linfu Road Army Masi here, which was under the jurisdiction of Hedong Road. It was different from the Mainland Mainland State and the State Administration and the State Administration system and the State Administration system in the western region. Instead, it implemented a ruling system and mechanism of provincial and provincial prefectures with strong separatist vassal and tribal qualities, and handed over the military power to the local tyrants.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the three states have been led by the Zhe family, Yang family and Wang family, and the early Song Dynasty has followed this policy until the Qingli period. Until the Qingli period, the court sent Ouyang Xiu to inspect Hedong. He still suggested that he "commit the local tyrants" and submit the military power to the local tyrants.

The Yang family in Linzhou is actually the prototype of the Yang family general, and the Yang Ye, the general in the early Song Dynasty, was the Yang family.

The Wang family of Fengzhou was originally a talented family in Hexi and had a feud with Xixia, so they were guarding Fengzhou for generations.

but--

With the changes in history, the Yang family in Linzhou and the Wang family in Fengzhou have both declined and have poor prestige and cannot control a state.

Among the three tribes of Zhe, Yang and Wang, the Zhe family rose the earliest and ruled the longest, almost always with the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

Now, almost all the states of Feng in Linfu are under the control of the Zhe family, and the Zhe family has almost reached the peak of its family, unprecedentedly powerful, with nearly 30,000 soldiers.

In the early years of Xining of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, Wang Shao opened the Xihe River and Tuo Bian for more than 2,000 miles, recovered the six states of Xihe, He, Tao, Min, Die and Dang. The Zhao Song Dynasty then placed the newly developed territory as Xihe Road.

In this way, the Song Dynasty had five border roads along the border with Xixia in Shaanxi, from west to east, namely Xihe Road, Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, and Fuyan Road, plus Yongxingjun Road in the mainland of Guanzhong, collectively known as Shaanxi Sixth Road.

In addition, Hedong Road still has three prefectures in Linfu Feng in Hexi, which are also bordered by Xixia. Therefore, the troops of the three prefectures are also affiliated with the Western Army.

In other words, the soldiers and horses in the three states of Linfu Feng should actually belong to the meat in Tong Guan's bowl, and Cai still wants the command of the soldiers and horses of these three states, and belongs to the troops who rob Tong Guan.

However, Cai still has his own reasons. It is natural that the troops of Linfu and Fengzhou are separated from their military regions by a river, which is an indispensable part of the recovery of Yundi. Therefore, it is natural to divide them into their military regions.

When Zhao Ji heard that Cai still wanted the control of the troops in the three states of Feng and Linfu, hesitated!

It’s not that Zhao Ji was reluctant to let go of the 20,000 to 30,000 people in Fengsan, Linfu, but that there were not many Western troops. If Cai still wanted to leave the 20,000 to 30,000 people in Fengsan, Linfu, and Fengsan, who was already stretched, would be even more stretched.

Moreover, in Zhao Ji's mind, if Yundi is recovered, it will naturally be better. If it cannot be recovered, it will be nothing.

Therefore, Zhao Ji was more willing to come here with Tong Guan.

But it would be unreasonable to say that you would not give the troops from the three states of Linfu Feng to Cai Shen.

The troops of Feng and the three prefectures of Linfu are on the edge of Yundi, which Cai still wants to recover, and guard one side and not give it to Cai still will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Cai still regaining Yundi. The key is to make Cai still feel cold.

In addition, if Cai Jiandu is transferred from Hebei to Hedong, how can he have to compensate Cai Jian?

So, after thinking about it, Zhao Ji said, "Let Zhe Ke ask for 10,000 troops to regain Yan land with Taishi Tong. The remaining troops in the three states of Feng and Linfu will be controlled by his beloved ministers."

This is a typical practice of mixing things, which is not helpful to each other and not offend either.

Cai was still content with being able to obtain most of the troops in the three states of Feng and Linfu, so he said: "No."

Cai still said again: "In addition, I want to recommend Zhan Du, a scholar of Yankang Palace, as the transfer envoy of Hedong Transportation, and to transfer Wang Jin to the deputy general manager of the Hedong Road Cavalry Army, and to transfer Zhao Liangsi to the senior officer of the follower army, and I hope the official will agree."

When Zhao Ji heard about the three people that Cai still wanted, he had a headache!

Why do you think?

It’s just because the three people Cai still wants are all Tong Guan’s confidants.

Zhao Ji thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No, Master Tong's actions are of great importance. You must not weaken his strength any more."

Cai still refused to give up and said, "Three things are not good. You have to give me one, um... Just Zhao Waijian. He didn't go north with Taishi Tong, and I was missing someone who could be dealt with Liao and Jin."

Zhao Ji thought about it, so he said, "Okay."

Cai still opened his mouth again and wanted to continue to make conditions.

When Zhao Ji saw this, he quickly said, "That's it, my dear, don't ask for it anymore, well... I will introduce another person to you. This time he and I will accompany you to the north together."
