Chapter 175 Deep hidden dangers

() Tian Hu is indeed going to make a comeback, but it is nothing else. Although Wu Qimai asked the army to withdraw, his covetousness for the Central Plains and his hatred for Song Qing did not change at all, so of course he had to leave himself a spokesperson.

Several major wars, the group of Han teams that the Jin soldiers gathered at the beginning were basically crippled. As a last resort, Tian Hu, who had been hiding in the dark, was forced to lift him out.

Tian Hu is a native of Hebei. He has a certain foundation for rebellion here. After the Jin soldiers withdrew, it is most suitable for Hebei, which has almost become a homeless land.

So with the help of the Jin people, Tian Hu quickly gathered a mob of people and horses, but because of the Jin people's armed forces, his current team seemed to be similar.

In fact, Wu Qimai's deeper meaning is that he hopes that Tian Hu can hold back Song Qing's pace from the north, and wait for him to recover and then re-enforce the Central Plains.

Shahe is just a small city in Xingzhou, and Tian Hu is not here either. He led the newly formed army and has just taken over the Zhending City, which the Jin soldiers gave him. Although it is an empty city, it is a temporary place to settle down.

Although Tian Hu has a great ambition, he has more than 100,800 miles of vision than Song Qing. He only thought that the Jin people would withdraw temporarily and would come back sooner or later, and Song Qing was just lucky enough to succeed.

So after the guy entered Zhending City, he couldn't wait to announce the re-establishment of the King of Jin's mansion and the formation of his own small court. At the same time, he summoned his old subordinates and prepared to take the lead in occupying the land of Hebei before the court returned.

Although the Jin people tried their best to help Tian Hu form his troops, they didn't say anything to him. For example, the news that Song Qing's four armies had already broken into Hebei was not told all, and they just asked him to prepare early, and Song Qing might come here at any time.

It is obviously impossible for Tian Hu to be unafraid of the heroes of Liangshan. But in the group of miscellaneous armies under his command, there is a Jin soldier hidden, which can have unexpected results when facing Liangshan people.

In addition, he used various means to gather more than 100,000 people in a short period of time, and the number was still increasing.

With strength, of course he has the confidence, so even if someone tells him that Song Qing is coming, he is not too scared.

Although the chaos in Hebei affected the transmission of intelligence, Liangshan's intelligence system was still much higher than other forces. Tian Hu didn't know that when Song Qing entered Hebei, news about his turnaround had already been placed on Song Qing's desk. Yue Fei also came with this news.

When she heard that Yue Fei had finally appeared, Song Qing was overjoyed and greeted him in person. He held Yue Fei's hand for a long time and refused to let go.

While Yue Fei was in a hot heart, he was inevitably a little ashamed. He really regarded himself as a character, but he repeatedly kept others from thousands of miles away.

After thinking about it, Yue Fei did not reveal it. Friends are intimate. He will repay Song Qing's attention to him with practical actions in the future.

That night, Song Qing hosted Yue Fei at the Central Army's tent. Although the banquet during the march was a bit simple, no one cared about these people.

After the banquet, the others stepped down, and Song Qing and Yue Fei had a long chat.

The most talked about between the two was the two battles with the Jin soldiers. Song Qing could be said to have gradually grown up in previous battles, but Yue Fei was undoubtedly a genius in this area. So after a conversation, both of them benefited a lot.

As we talked, the topic talked about the people's livelihood aspects in Hebei.

Yue Fei suddenly looked calm and said, "Have you ever thought about how to manage this Hebei land in the future?"

Although Song Qing kept saying that he would not let Yue Fei call him Prince, although Yue Fei was free and easy, he was very persistent in this regard and ignored Song Qing's protests at all.

Song Qing sighed and said, "Hebei Xiangzhou has been decayed. I plan to restore the functions of the government first and recruit the scattered people. I can help in other aspects, but building a home is ultimately inseparable from the people of Hebei!"

"Actually, I have an idea. I wonder if the prince is willing to adopt it?"

"What else can't be said between you and me? Brother Yue may as well say it directly."

"In fact, there are only two words to put it bluntly, land"

"land?"

"These words have been kept in my heart for a long time. I haven't had the chance to say them before. Now I think it's the most appropriate to say them to the prince."

Yue Fei looked a little lonely, then changed his face and continued: "Hebei is in such chaos. Although there are Jin soldiers who abused and incompetent officers and soldiers, in fact, in my opinion, the most fundamental reason is that the court has problems in the governance of Hebei. The land is in the hands of wealthy families and officials, and the people have no land to plant but still have to bear heavy taxes. This situation may not appear much in normal times, and once the chaos begins, it can quickly form a prairie fire. Therefore, after the prince takes charge of Hebei, he must pay attention to this matter."

After Yue Fei finished speaking, Song Qing couldn't help but think. To put it bluntly, he was still too lacking in governance, but he firmly believed that Yue Fei's words were not aimless. The land issue has always been the most difficult problem to solve throughout history.

Not to mention the officials of the Song Dynasty, as the forces of Liangshan become increasingly large, who can guarantee that the heroes of Liangshan will not have the heart to compete with the people for land? Even if they can do it, what about their relatives? Can they do it?

This is a big problem that cannot be solved well, and it can affect the whole body.

Song Qing stood up, walked around the tent with his hands behind his back for a few times before saying, "Brother Yue, what good solution can he do?"

"It's nothing more. It's a matter of counting the population, re-dividing the land, and strictly prohibiting officials and wealthy gentry from annexing the land. To put it bluntly, it's to tie the people to their own land, so that the unstable factors can be eliminated to the greatest extent."

After hearing Yue Fei's suggestion, Song Qing suddenly understood why Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty had to kill Yue Fei in history.

In addition to the emperor's family affairs, blocking the emperor's peace talks, threatening the emperor with merits, etc., there may be a suggestion of land reform, because Yue Fei's proposal is obviously against the opposite of all dignitaries and nobles. If Yue Fei continues to be in power, will these officials have good kids?

So when Zhao Gou issued an order to capture Yue Fei, only one Han Shizhong questioned Qin Hui, and there were almost no other people who pleaded for mercy. This is probably the reason.

However, all this will not happen. The current Central Plains should be in a situation where they are broken and then established. There will be no new dignitaries and nobles at the moment. I am also a grassroots person and know the sufferings of the people. Therefore, Yue Fei's proposal is also possible.

Thinking of this, Song Qingzhan smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Yue, for being so kind to me. I will remember Brother Yue's good words."

Then he said, "How do Brother Yue thinks of Tian Hu?"

Yue Fei also smiled and said, "The clown jumping, but he has to be careful of him jumping into Fenzhou, which is his nest, so it may not be so easy to wipe out."

"How about leaving this battle to Brother Yue?"

"It will never be disgraceful"

After Yue Fei finished speaking, the two couldn't help but smile at each other, and the long-lost feeling of cherishing each other came back to their hearts.

The next morning, Yue Fei and Hua Rong led 10,000 cavalrymen to the Zhending Mansion first.

Song Qing led the army to follow up slowly, and at the same time he walked and cleared out the remaining armed forces and restored the functions of the government. He had decided that after the troops arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture, the matter of clearing out bandits would be left to the generals, and he would use all his main efforts to deal with local affairs.

As news of various people continued to come, Song Qing also let him know about an unexpected news. Now his total military force has reached more than 400,000. It turned out that he knew that he had recruited many imperial defeated soldiers and armed forces from all over the country, but he did not expect that there would be so many.

If there are too many people, there are also advantages and disadvantages. The first is food and grass. Kaifeng used to supply a large army of 230,000, but now half of it is more than half out of thin air. The pressure can be imagined.

But now is not the time to lay off troops casually, and the long border line in the future will require a large number of troops to be stationed.

Song Qing pondered for a long time and ordered people to distribute food and grass in Shandong. Last year, Shandong had a bumper harvest of grain, so it could be handled for a while.

If it weren't for Hebei's disaster to be like this, the army's food would have been solved on the spot, but now it can no longer add burden to the people of Hebei.

At the same time, people were ordered to transport large quantities of sweet potatoes and seeds that had been stored long ago to all parts of Hebei. The growth conditions of this thing are not so harsh. As long as you persist this year, everything will be better by next year.

At this time, Tian Hu, who was busy recruiting troops to expand his strength in Zhending, finally learned that Song Qing's four-way army had entered Hebei. It is said that the army has now had nearly 400,000 fear of Liangshan's deep marrow. He was so scared that he stopped pretending to be a silly, and his first thought was to run away.

I thought Song Qing had at most only 200,000 troops, but now it suddenly doubled. What should I do to resist him? So I should run away!

The uncle Wu Li stopped him and helped him analyze the Liangshan people.

First of all, the Liangshan army came from four groups, and its strength would inevitably be dispersed. Each group had a maximum of more than 100,000 troops, which was the same as the one in its own country. Moreover, there were hidden Jin soldiers and cavalry in its own army, which was impossible for Liangshan people to know. Therefore, this battle may not be defeated.

Secondly, there were so many people in Liangshan, and various problems would come one after another, such as food and grass, unified command, etc., which were all problems that Song Qing was eager to solve.

If he could send troops to disturb the Liangshan army's retreat and then hit him head-on, he might be able to break through Liangshan's troops in one fell swoop and accomplish something that the Jin people had not done.

It cannot be denied that Tian Hu's uncle is indeed a wise man, and what he said is indeed the problems existing in the Liangshan army. But he did not think about what kind of goods Tian Hu was and what kind of soldiers he brought.

It is said that ignorant people are fearless, and they probably refer to people like Wu Li.

After hearing what his father-in-law said, Tian Hu thought about it carefully and felt that it was really the case. He was just defeated by Liangshan's next time. As for why he was so afraid of them? Liangshan's firearms are powerful, and his troops are not vegetarians, so just pay more attention.

After making up his mind, Tian Hu immediately ordered his brother Tian Bao to lead 20,000 cavalry to the Liangshan army and cut off the food route of the Liangshan army. At the same time, he ordered his other brother Tian Biao to lead 50,000 troops to set up a formation in Luancheng to fight against the vanguard of Liangshan.

Damn Song Qing actually sent only 10,000 people to come, and he underestimated me too much. This time he let him know what it means to have a come and no return. See if he dares to underestimate me?
