There was a temporary trip near the stone bridge, and the question between the emperor and his ministers was in progress.
"I am very happy that your words will bring peace to the world." Sima Chi said gently: "However, there is chaos in Hebei, but there are no good generals. Can Shao Qing dare to go north to attack the thieves?"
"Ji Sang is a low-ranking soldier of Chiping Garden Ranch, a low-quality soldier of the public division and vassal army. He harbors evil intentions and his crimes have been made clear. I am willing to send troops to the north and offer his head under the tower." Shao Xun said loudly, matching his words. With his righteous and awe-inspiring expression, he looked like the most loyal minister in the world.
Sima Chi was greatly pleased after hearing this and continued to ask: "Do you have any good strategies to suppress the bandits?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, I wish to defeat his army and kill his leader. The rest of the thieves were either coerced or forced to surrender due to poverty or hunger, or were captured and ordered to do so. Their actions are not obvious. The circumstances are excusable, and it seems that they can be pardoned, but they can't. Let them disperse back to their hometowns and return to their royal status. In this way, the chaos will be over." Shao Xun said.
Whether the chaos is peaceful or not, only God knows.
The rebellion in Hebei was not because the people could not survive. In fact, it was mainly due to political factors at the beginning, that is, some Hebei scholars and generals were unwilling to accept the defeat of the King of Chengdu and fought back in despair.
Most of these people have been wiped out, and now only a few people like Shi Chao are still holding on.
To put it simply, this is the second stage of the Hebei rebellion, and politics is no longer the main factor. Although Ji Sang pretends to be a Gongshi Fan or even the King of Chengdu, he is actually a careerist, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that.
For those who are rebelling because they are not desperate for survival, we can kill their core members, pardon their coercion, and slowly quell the war.
As for who the backbone is, Shao Xun’s understanding is “Old Camp”.
Just as the refugee army in the late Ming Dynasty had the so-called "old camp", Ji Sang and his ilk must also have one.
The old man was very resolute in his opposition, and his treatment was relatively the best - eating the best food, using the best equipment, giving priority to women, and receiving the most rewards...
These rebel activists should be severely punished.
The other people they kidnapped can be treated differently - Shao Xun planned to kidnap Zhong Tian.
"Shao Qing's words are very much in line with my wishes." Sima Chi said happily: "The sky uses the sun and the moon, and the emperor also relies on his legs and arms. Shao Qing is capable and talented, and he has a benevolent heart. If he can calm down the chaos in Hebei, why should I be stingy? Huge reward?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Shao Xun said with tears of gratitude.
Sima Yue's fists were slightly clenched.
Wang Yan looked at him and shook his head slightly.
Sima Yue loosened his fist, snorted softly, and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels in Hebei attacked the city, destroyed the city, and killed famous kings. It can be seen that they are all stubborn people, why should they be restrained? Now we can kill them all together and order them to be killed." I am so timid that I will never dare to cause trouble again."
The ministers nodded one after another.
In this matter, neither the royalists nor anyone else had a favorable impression of the Hebei rebels.
The four words "committing rebellion" spoke to their hearts. It's ridiculous that there are still scholars in Hebei who support Ji Sang, thinking that they really care about the King of Chengdu. I don't know what to say!
It is absolutely unforgivable to bully a slave and bully his master! Unless it really cannot be pacified, that is another matter.
Sima Chi was a little unhappy after hearing this, but he did not openly refute Sima Yue's face.
He had already won a huge victory, although this victory was given to him by Sima Yue stupidly.
So he could only change the topic and said: "The civil engineering work has been extremely hard. Shao Qing supervised the construction of Guangcheng Garden and worked hard. I have learned about it. When he returns from the Northern Expedition, he will be rewarded together."
"I'm so grateful that I don't know what to say." Shao Xun's eyes were slightly red and he choked with sobs.
Sima Chi smiled gently and said nothing.
He is not Sima Zhong, he doesn't know anything. The ministers are showing off their superb acting skills every day, and he himself is a leader, so he has long been immune to these.
Queen Liang Lanbi was slightly moved and thought to herself: If the sister of the Yu family married Shao Xun, it would not be unacceptable at all.
Grand Tutor Sima Yue flicked his robe sleeves and did not want to stay any longer on this occasion. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave the town of Xuchang right now. I will never return to the capital until the rebels from all directions are wiped out."
Sima Chi stood up in a hurry, walked two steps quickly, took Sima Yue's hand, his face was full of sorrow, and said: "Can Tai Tu leave the town temporarily? If Tai Tu is not here to assist the government, I will feel uneasy."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the civil and military ministers immediately spoke to dissuade him.
Wang Yan watched with cold eyes without saying a word.
He would not forcefully persuade the Tutor to decide something.
In his opinion, there were only a few capable officials in the shogunate. Just like when the shogunate of Chengdu had a bunch of people who drank all day long and did not do their jobs properly, they also ruined the atmosphere of the shogunate.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan sneered in his heart, now anyone dares to call himself a celebrity.
The Taifu has recruited too many so-called "celebrities". And celebrities have the privilege of indulgence, drinking and having fun, living wildly, neglecting government affairs, etc. With this group of people advising the Taifu, it is no wonder that he made two mistakes in succession.
The first step was to kill the late emperor with poison, which would greatly damage his prestige and power.
The second step was to leave the vassal outside the town. Some people thought this was a good plan, but Wang Yan thought otherwise. Did Sima Ying succeed in establishing the domineering mansion in Yecheng? No.
So, why do you think Xuchang Bafu can succeed?
There is only one ending for leaving the outer vassal town. The court officials and the imperial army were gradually infiltrated and won over by the emperor, and they were no longer used by the Taifu.
On the contrary, it is a better choice to stay in Luoyang despite the pressure, hide one's strength and bide one's time, and wait for the criticism to pass.
But this has nothing to do with him.
The more Sima went to Xuchang, the more he relied on Wang Yifu, and the chance of making profits in the middle greatly increased.
Go, go, if someone wants to die and can't get it back no matter how hard you try, then let him die.
"Your Majesty, there is currently unrest in all directions. I have no other thoughts but to wipe out all the thieves and enjoy peace." Sima Yue said resolutely.
"Alas!" Sima Chi sighed, reluctantly put down his hand, and said: "The Taifu will come back as soon as possible. Luoyang cannot do without the Taifu to take charge of the overall situation."
Sima Yue responded irritably: "I know, please leave."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for the emperor's reply.
When passing by Shao Xun, he glanced at him coldly.
This man is still willing to obey his orders and send troops to conquer east and west. In the eyes of people who don't know the truth, Shao Xun may be very loyal to him, but this only makes Sima Yue feel aggrieved.
How can a person like Zhang Fang be loyal?
After Sima Yue left, Shao Xun also bowed his head and left the business soon.
The soldiers and government soldiers waiting outside breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shao Xun and Tang Jian coming out safely.
As the core subordinates around Shao Xun, these people more or less know where their butts should sit.
They are not the same people as the nobles.
The direction of their efforts is to break the status quo of the gentry's monopoly on official positions, and to seize food from the gentry's mouth.
They gain wealth and honor based on their military exploits, regardless of their origins, only based on their ability.
General Shao is the leader of their small group, so there must be no accidents.
Shao Xun asked Tang Jian to help him take off his armor, then took off a corner of his military robe, pointed to the scar on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since the beginning of the war, I have gone through dozens of battles, large and small, faced the sharp edge, and laid across the corpse field, hiding today's
.Do you guys dare to follow me north to get riches and wealth, and kill Ji Sang with all your heads?"
Everyone laughed in unison and said, "Kill Ji Sang and your head will roll."
Hundreds of cavalry quickly returned to the army camp, waited for three days in the east of Luoyang City, received a large amount of supplies and equipment, gathered the 500 cavalry of the First Governor of the Xiaoqi Army and 10,000 people in Sizhou, and then headed north to cross Mang
Mountain, cross the Yellow River, and enter Hanoi.
They did not stop here, but drove directly to the northeast, entered Ji County on May 27, and settled outside Ji County.
On the 28th, Yu Chen, the prefect of Ji County, took the county lieutenant general Zuo out of the city to reward the army.
"Master Yufu." Shao Xun went out of the camp in person and introduced Yu Chen and others into the camp.
After two years of governance, Yu Chen had a lot of white hair on his head. It seemed that this prefect was not very good at being a governor.
However, with more gray hair, Yu Chen's aura has become stronger.
Shao Xun observed silently and found that Lao Yu's eyes were bright and occasionally radiant. After entering the camp, his eyes were always on the most critical points in the army.
In the past two years, Yu Chen has spent at least half of his time dealing with the rebels. It seems that he has learned a lot, making progress faster than that boy Yu Liang.
"See General." After Shao Xun and Yu Chen finished their greetings, Yao Yuan also came forward to greet them.
Shao Xun returned the greeting and then asked, "Why don't you see Zheng Gou'er?"
"The thieves were suppressed last month, but they were lost in the formation." Yao Yuan replied sadly.
He and Zheng Gou'er were assigned by Shao Xun to break away from the Kingdom's army and followed Yu Chen to Jijun, where they fought and had a close friendship.
Zheng Gou'er died in the battle, which made him feel bad and hated the thieves even more.
Shao Xun was silent for a moment when he heard the news of Zheng Gouer's death.
He had known Zheng Gou'er five years ago. He was a very senior subordinate. Now he died in a foreign land and his soul returned to the Nine Netherworld. Perhaps this was the fate of a warrior.
"Master Fu, I wonder what's going on with thieves in this county?" Shao Xun calmed down and asked directly.
Yu Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Chan came here once the month before last, Shi Chao came once last month, and left after a large plunder."
"Where are the Jisang thieves?"
"We have plundered Yecheng and left."
In fact, he said it quite briefly.
After Ji Sang defeated Ye City and killed Sima Teng, he burned, killed and looted the city, killing more than 10,000 people. Even the palace in Ye City was burned by him, and the fire did not go out for ten days.
"Where are you now?"
"A few days ago, the army reported that the Jisang bandits had fled to Yangping and seemed to want to cross the river to attack Yanzhou."
"Rogue bandit style." Shao Xun snorted coldly.
Yu Chen frowned.
Before the defeat of King Xincai, he also looked down upon Ji Sang and said: "I have been alone in Bingzhou for seven years, and Hu can't defeat the city. Ji Sang is a little thief, so why worry."
Then the city was broken and the Qingqi fled, but were killed by Sang general Li Feng.
Sima Teng's eldest son Yu Su was brave and brave. When he heard that his father had been killed, he immediately led his troops back. Li Feng was chased by him and could not escape. He drowned in despair.
As a result, on the same day, they met Li Fengyu, Sima Yu, his second brother Jiao, his third brother Shao, Cui Man, the governor of Julu, Shi Yangheng, the chief of chariots and cavalry, and Cai Ke, the middle man, who were all killed by the thieves.
Only four of Sima Teng's sons escaped with their lives, but now they don't know where they are.
If Shao Xun despises the thief, he will definitely suffer.
Thinking of this, Yu Chen decided to give some advice, even though he didn't like this cheap son-in-law who was spread rumors by that shit Hu Wufu.
