Cai You, who always liked to take credit, was the first to launch an attack, "I impeached King Kang for rebellion."
When he was the prince, Zhao Huan was very cautious, and he was also very humble when facing his husband-in-law like Cai You.
Now that he had become an official, he naturally did not give any face to the members of the Supreme Emperor who had once been so arrogant in front of him.
"Cai Qing be careful." Zhao Huan, who squinted his eyes, sneered, "It is a serious crime to casually slander the prince."
Cai You was not afraid, and raised his head to say, "Officials and ministers are naturally not slanderous."
He took the battle report sent from the army and said with emotion, "It is clearly written on it that King Kang was in the army and also went with the army to the Pingding Army."
"So what."
Here Geng Nanzhong came forward to reply, "Kang Wang is originally the supervisor of the Western Army. What does it matter if he went with the Western Army to pacify the Ding Army?"
Wu Min and others all echoed and supported King Kang.
In fact, everyone knows what this means.
King Kang's ambition has been fully exposed.
If nothing else happens, if things continue like this, King Kang will definitely become the next King of Jin.
Guangyi, the third brother of Taizu, was promoted to king before he ascended the throne.
Both the people on Zhao Ji's side and those on Zhao Huan's side saw this very clearly, because King Kang had really extended his hands into the army.
The reason why Zhao Huan's party members want to support him is, "We must oppose whatever Zhao Ji's party members agree with" is just one of the reasons.
Another more important reason is that every ten days and a half, Li Yunze will send someone to deliver a batch of money and silk.
Before the Jin soldiers went south, the West Route Army destroyed Hedong, and the East Route Army destroyed Hebei.
The Central Plains, Jianghuai and other places were also greatly affected, and the additional indemnities caused the imperial government's financial collapse.
Under such circumstances, the money and silk that Li Yunze kept sending was the lifeblood of the entire imperial court.
The expenses of various ministries and yamen, the food and drink expenses of tens of thousands of people in the palace, the salaries paid to the clan, the rewards during festivals, the salaries of everyone from the Xianggong to the junior officials in Kaifeng Prefecture, as well as unspecified regular fees, etc.
Most of the huge expenses depend on the money and silk sent by Li Yunze.
In this case, of course you can't touch him.
Who would have trouble with money and silk?
Even Cai You and the others are actually more interested in estrangement and trying to consolidate this way of making money.
It was another meaningless quarrel and mutual attack, and then it involved the traditional attacks of the old and new parties.
Zhao Huan, who had long been fed up with this, finally said directly, "Add Jiulang as the Propaganda Envoy of Hedong Road, and urge all departments of the Western Army to advance to relieve the siege of Taiyuan."
Zhao Huan got up to leave and arranged for people to find Qin Hui.
Last time, Tong Guan was solved through Taisheng, which gave Zhao Huan great confidence.
He was tired of this endless mutual attacks and quarrels, and was ready to let Qin Hui mobilize the imperial students again to take down Gao Qiu.
As long as Gao Qiu and the imperial army under his control were taken care of, Zhao Huan was ready to arrange for the Emperor and his entire group.
What Zhao Huan didn't expect was that after what happened with Tong Guan last time, Zhao Ji and the others were not just idiots, so of course they were already on guard.
Li Yunze, who was far away in the Pingding Army, was currently receiving the angry generals of the Western Army.
"Your Majesty, Han Powu has gone too far!"
"Then Han Powu said that he was ordered by the prince."
"If the prince hadn't spoken, I would have buried that rogue right now!"
A large group of generals gathered around Li Yunze, noisy and noisy.
When they had enough arguing, Li Yunze asked, "What did Han Liangchen do?"
Weizhou Economic and Strategic Envoy Xigong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Han Powunas is recruiting cavalry from various armies. Does your Majesty care about it?"
The Western Army has been fighting against the Xixia people and Hehuang's tribe all year round. Not only is it rich in battlefield experience, but it also has no shortage of cavalry.
This point is difficult to compare with other Song armies.
The generals of the Western Army were also very aware of the important role of cavalry in battle formations, and of course they could not tolerate Han Shizhong's outrageous poaching.
"Of course I will."
Li Yunze signaled the generals to calm down, stood up and looked at everyone, "Well, this time it will be regarded as a secondment. After the Taiyuan Prefecture is conquered, each of them will return to their respective ministries. How about the secondment fee of one hundred guan per cavalry?"
The angry generals immediately calmed down.
After looking at each other, they began to discuss, and finally accepted King Kang's condition.
Li Yunze was not ambiguous and directly asked Zhai Cong to go to Han Liangchen to get the roster, and then paid the silk on the spot one by one according to the military roster.
"This copper coin is so beautiful, brand new."
"The silk fabric is good, it feels really comfortable to touch."
After receiving the money paid by Li Yunze, the generals of the Western Army were all smiling.
Of course the copper coins are good. They were processed by Li Yunze in the modern world, after buying a processing factory. They are standard industrial products, and their appearance and quality are just right.
As for silk cloth, the production of silk cloth in the modern world is far beyond what people of this era can imagine.
And the price is cheap, and you can get discounts if the quantity is large.
Compared with the five or six thousand cavalry that Han Shizhong hooked up, the mere copper coins and silk fabrics are not worth mentioning at all.
Taiyuan City was besieged for a long time, and the imperial court sent envoys one after another to urge Zhongshi to advance.
However, the troops of Yao Gu and Zhang Hao were still unable to break through the blockade of the Jin soldiers, and were unable to form a joint attack, and their forces were dispersed.
Faced with repeated urgings from the imperial court, Zhongshizhong could only seek the support of the new Hedong Road Xuanfu envoy.
There was obvious anger among the teachers: "Staying in fear of the enemy is a major crime in the army. I have been fighting in the army for many years since I was a child. Do I still have to bear this crime when I am old? Your Majesty, you are also in the army. You should know that it is not me who does not join the army, but
The other two lines of reinforcements have not yet arrived, so it is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone."
"I understand." Li Yunze knocked on the table and looked at the map. "But the imperial court must have an explanation, and only this side will send troops to attract the Jin people's attention, and then give the other two groups a chance to reinforce."
He pointed at Shouyang on the map, "The Taiwei can advance troops here to threaten the flanks of the Jin soldiers. I will issue an order to Yao Gu and Zhang Hao, ordering them to immediately send troops to gather with the Taiwei in Yuci."
The total number of Song troops in the three groups is as high as 200,000. If Li Yunze were to take command, he would have just marched all the way upright and fought hard and silently.
Privy Councilor and Governor Xu Han was a fool. He had to divide his troops into three groups and attack together. This simply gave the Jin people, who were good at mobility, a chance to defeat each other.
It is typical to use literature to control martial arts, or in other words, the layman commands the expert.
At this time, Li Yunze had nominally taken over the command of the troops and horses in Hedong. What he wanted to do most now was to gather all the troops and horses together.
Hundreds of thousands of field troops gathered together, and the West Route Army lost its teeth and couldn't eat anything.
"In that case." The expressionless Master Zhong raised his hands, "Then just follow what the prince said."
"Please, Your Majesty, please stay in the Pingding Army and take care of the logistics, food, grass and baggage." The Zhongshi resolutely did not allow Li Yunze to follow him because he was also afraid of an outsider commanding an expert.
At this time, Li Yunze, as the Propaganda Envoy of Hedong Road, was nominally the immediate boss of all the troops. If he made a sly maneuver at the critical moment, it would kill the army.
Li Yunze did not argue, but just told the commander, "The Taiwei must remember not to go deep alone, just reach Shouyang."
Although everyone thought that Li Yunze, the Hedong Road Xuanfu envoy, was only a nominal commander-in-chief, he himself began to issue various orders without hesitation.
When the Zhong division was dispatching troops, Li Yunze gave orders to Zhang Hao's troops in Fenzhou and Yao Gu of the Weisheng Army (Qinyuan), ordering them to quickly set off to move closer to each other. After gathering in the Taigu area of Pingyao, they joined forces and marched north to attack Yuci.
.
At the same time, he also gave an order to Zhe Keqiu, who was far away in Linzhou, outside the river, and ordered the Zhe family army to go south to Shiling Pass to harass and contain the Jin soldiers.
From a strategic point of view, dividing the troops to attack can effectively divide the strength of the Jin soldiers.
After all, the West Route Army had 100,000 people to die, and they had to divide their forces to besiege Taiyuan City. When faced with an attack by multiple troops, dividing their forces to resist would inevitably lead to further dispersion of combat effectiveness.
If the three armies can successfully gather in Yuci, Li Yunze will immediately rush over to take command personally and have a fight with Nianhan and Wanyan Loushi.
In terms of layout, it is the best that can be achieved under the existing conditions.
But the problem was that almost all departments of the Western Army ignored his orders, and even complained to Bianliang City.
Xu Han, the privy envoy and governor, even directly impeached Li Yunze for his unauthorized use of power in the court. He also said that according to the reports of the spies, the main force of the Jin's West Route Army was far away in the clouds. There was no defense outside Taiyuan City at this time. If no troops were sent at this time, they would still be there.
What are you waiting for!
Yao Gu and Zhang Hao also dealt with Li Yunze and didn't even reply to his letter.
He continued to wander about on his own.
Zhe Keqiu did reply to the letter, but unfortunately he did not quickly go south to harass and attract Jin Bing's attention. Instead, he went to join Liu Guangshi's army who had come a long way.
Looking at the positions of the armies on the map, Li Yunze, whose heart was filled with anger, casually dropped the imperial edict sent by Zhao Huan on the ground.
Zhao Huan's imperial edict was very simple, which was to teach his ninth brother not to interfere in the military command of the front line. You don't have the ability and ability. Then he said that he had not seen any money and silk sent back recently, and asked him to transport the money and silk back to Bian as soon as possible.
Liangcheng.
"If we had a chance to win, at least we could keep our main force."
Li Yunze, with a dark face, suddenly punched out and punched through the map. "This horse-riding man is sent out on his own initiative to be defeated by others!"
"If I had known this, I might as well have killed those bastards in Bianliang City before."
They had no problem with Tututu when they were in Bianliang City. The problem was that the Song Dynasty immediately fell into turmoil and chaos after that, and it was impossible for the Western Army to be loyal to a rebellious prince. It was purely to give the Jin people a chance.
The petite Master Li came out of the back tent and carefully picked up the imperial edict.
"My lord, why are you so angry?"
"Angry? Yes, I'm very angry right now~~~" Li Yunze was really angry. "The current situation is not caused by Fengheng Yuda!"
Hearing this, Master Li wiped his tears and said, "Master is just a weak woman and can't do anything. Why would the prince get angry at the slave family?"
"come here."
Li Yunze called Master Li to come to him and raised his hand to hold her hair, "The hairpin is crooked. Squat down and I will straighten it for you."
"Huh~~~"
After burning the incense, Li Yunze breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Being angry can't solve the problem, he still has to find a way to reverse the situation.
Early the next morning, Li Yunze summoned Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others to raise the account.
"I have made up my mind." In front of the generals, Li Yunze directly ordered, "Send troops tomorrow to chase Captain Xiao Zhong."
