Chapter 547 General, you can report your victory to the court!
Runing Prefecture, Fuzhi, Ruyang County
The county seat was still in the hands of the imperial court the day before yesterday. However, yesterday evening, the county magistrate Wei Dengming had just hugged Xinna's concubine to have a drink when he was called by the county magistrate, saying that the Lord Fu Zun and the generals of the Henan Dusi were here to urge him to hand over the luggage.
ordnance.
As soon as they arrived at the government office, they saw Qian Yushan, the prefect of Runing, leading a group of Henan generals wearing official and military uniforms, and suddenly captured all the officials, including the magistrates of Runing, the magistrate, and the magistrate of Ruyang County who had gathered.
Then, it was discovered that thieves had taken over the city by pretending to be soldiers.
It was nearly half noon, Gao Yue was sitting in the government hall, looking at Mr. Shao who was counting the books, and asked: "Mr."
Shao Yingchen put down the brush in his hand, raised his head from the stack of books, shook his head, and said: "General, there is not much grain, fodder, gold and silver in the treasury of Ruyang Prefecture. Today's Henan prefectures and counties have been hit by disasters many times.
In the famine, the people are in dire straits, and the government treasury is running out of money. However, Qian Yushan, the prefect of Runing Prefecture, and officials in the prefecture, with rich family assets, have a lot of corrupt money and stolen money. If they are used as military pay, they can barely provide for nearly 10,000 troops.
Give."
A few days ago, Gao Yue's headquarters opened a treasury in Luoshan County to distribute food, gold and silver to the poor people. At this moment, Gao Yue's headquarters has a core of four to five thousand bandits as its backbone, which has doubled. The number of thieves can be said to be "rebels."
Close to ten thousand people.
At this time, the personal guard Ma Liang entered the official hall, raised his hands and said: "General, the eighth brother is back."
At this moment, Wei Song, who was full of blood and with a fierce look, led several of his men and strode from outside. With a happy face, he clasped his fists and said: "Brother, the officers and soldiers from Nanyang and Yingchuan who came to help have already arrived."
All destroyed."
A smile appeared on Gao Yue's dark face and he said: "Now that we have no worries, we can go straight to Kaifeng and capture the provincial capital!"
When all the generals heard this, they all showed joy on their faces.
After saying that, he looked at Shao Yingchen and whispered: "Sir, what do you think the next step should be? Should it be done without further delay, or should we wait for all the counties in Runing Prefecture to break through before making further calculations. By the way, we have to block the news. I'll wait.
It would be best to capture Kaifeng quietly, and then capture Luoyang without anyone noticing."
Shao Yingchen shook his head, poured cold water on Gao Yue, and said: "General, I'm afraid it's hard to block the news, because Kaifeng is a big city, with a population of Fusheng, many government offices, and the imperial court has sent out a wide range of eyes and ears, even if there are countless
Even with tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible to block the news. Besides, our purpose is not just to occupy Kaifeng, but to coerce the refugees and make a big noise."
Gao Yue's expression paused and he said: "What you said makes sense. Ruyang County can block news for a short period of time, but it is simply impossible for a big city like Kaifeng."
Shao Yingchen nodded and said: "Actually, even Runing Mansion can't hide it for too long. By this time, the news has probably spread to surrounding counties, not just in Henan counties. After a while, Huainan will
, Huguang may receive the news from Runing Mansion, and after we occupy Kaifeng, we will open warehouses to stockpile grain and set up uprising flags so that the heroes from the countryside in Weiluo will gather."
It is not impossible for the news to spread to other prefectures and counties. For example, the news of the fall of Luoshan County may have spread to Huguang and other places along with the merchants who fled to other places.
Shao Yingchen said, and solemnly reminded: "If we do not raise the flag of uprising as soon as possible, we will lose the noble and righteous way of advocating righteousness, and we will not even be able to sweep Henan and shock the world."
This is to advise Gao Yue not to indulge in such deceitful tricks.
Gao Yue looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shao, if the Kaifeng Mansion is destroyed, the imperial court will soon know the news."
Shao Yingchen nodded and said: "So, we still need to use a secret plan to interfere with the judgment of the Shenjing court and buy time for us to take Kaifeng."
After moving to the county seat of Runing Prefecture, Shao Yingchen discovered that the news could no longer be blocked.
Without him, after all, the government governs the county. It is impossible for Gao Yue's department to control the entire Runing Prefecture. Otherwise, what kind of control ability is this?
"I would like to hear the details." Gao Yue said with a calm look.
Shao Yingchen's eyes were fierce and he said: "General, please report your victory to the court!"
Gao Yue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up. He realized that this strategy was so subtle that it was hard to describe, and said, "What do you mean, sir?"
Mr. Shao had a flash of light in his eyes and said in a clear voice: "The general can report the victory to the court in the name of the Henan Dusi and the Fifth Army Governor's Office, saying that the Henan army has won a great victory in suppressing the bandits and captured the relevant bandit leaders, and requests that the bandit leaders be brought to justice."
Send the capital to the capital! At that time, when the news of victory reaches the sacred capital, all the princes in the court will be ecstatic. First, we can calmly attack Kaifeng, and secondly, we can delay it for a few days, set up an uprising flag, open the treasury, and recruit heroes.
Recruit soldiers, and then try to attack Luoyang and sweep through the Central Plains. If all the princes in the temple are as stupid as pigs and dogs, Luoyang may not be owned by the general! At that time, it will be God who refuses to take it, and he will be blamed for it!"
Speaking of which, what made Gao Yue secretly resentful was that the Zhao brothers who were entrenched around Mang Mountain in Luoyang did not respond to Gao Yue's troops. Instead, they used the excuse of insufficient food and weapons to shirk the need to wait for the opportunity.
According to Shao Yingchen's analysis, it was clear that the Zhao brothers saw that Luoyang was surrounded by heavy imperial troops and hoped that the news of Gao Yue's attack would shock the government and army, and then Luoyang would send troops to support them. They finally took advantage of the situation and entered the city to defend the city.
A good calculation!
Listening to Shao Yingchen's explanation, Gao Yue also figured out some ideas, and said with joy: "Sir's strategy is really incomparable and unpredictable."
Ma Liang and others also secretly admired him. Ever since Mr. Shao entered their village a year ago, they felt that if the master had some divine help, he would now take over the Central Plains.
Shao Yingchen walked to the map hanging in the Mingtang, looked at Luoyang and other places, and persuaded him again: "But if the court reacts quickly, the general cannot go east to Luoyang and fight on the spot in Kaifeng Mansion to "Follow Heaven and promote justice, fight against the Han and restore the Ming Dynasty"
"When the heroes and martyrs from the northern provinces heard of the banner, they would rise up in the clouds and respond, winning food and scenery, beacon fires everywhere, and wolf smoke rising everywhere."
"Luoyang... we must try." Gao Yuexu was shocked by the blueprint drawn by Shao Yingchen and said: "If we seize the big city of Luoyang, block the passes, and cut off water transportation, sir, then the Chen and Han Dynasties will definitely be shaken!"
There are some things that make me excited just thinking about it. Luoyang is the ancient capital in history. If it occupies the big city of Luoyang, Gao Yue's name will definitely resound throughout Kyushu!
When Mr. Shao saw this, his eyes flashed, but he was not so optimistic.
In his opinion, instead of going to Luoyang, it is better to stop in Kaifeng and go directly south to Huainan.
But in the past few days, Xu's victory was too easy, and everyone was dazzled. However, if the court was slow to respond, Luoyang could give it a try.
At this time, Gao Yue listened to Shao Yingchen's explanation of the situation in Henan. Without hesitation, he ordered: "Ma Liang, go and bring Qian Yushan and the others over."
If we report victory to Henan, how can we be missing these three guys?
Only the successful report jointly signed by these three people can win the trust of the Chen and Han court!
Ma Liang responded with clasped fists and loudly promised, then led the people to bring Niu Jizong, Qian Yushan, and Guo Peng to the government hall. He shouted deeply and knelt down in a row with the three of them.
At this time, Qian Yushan, the prefect of Runing, looked pale and was extremely frightened.
At this moment, Guo Peng's mouth was black, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. It was obvious that he had been suffering a lot these past few days.
Niu Jizong's situation was better, because he had been "aware of current affairs" before, so he had not suffered any serious crimes in the past few days, but his face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Gao Yue glanced at the three people, and his cold gaze first fell on the face of Runing Magistrate Qian Yushan, and asked with great interest: "Master Qian, this is your government office. How does it feel to be a prisoner when you revisit your old place?"
?”
Qian Yushan was kneeling on the ground at this moment, raised his face, and said with a smile: "King Gao, now that the Runing Mansion has been completely occupied by the king, can you give me a way out?"
Guo Peng closed his eyes aside, as if he didn't want to look at the servile and ugly Qian Yushan.
Gao Yue said: "Master Qian, I will have to worry about it later."
Gao Yue smiled faintly and said, "Guo Dushuai, I have one more thing to ask of you."
But Guo Peng stiffened his neck, closed his eyes tightly, and said nothing.
Wei Song laughed ferociously and kicked Guo Peng violently in the abdomen. The high-ranking general of Henan Dusi groaned, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and his face was pale.
Qian Yushan hurriedly called out: "Guo Dushuai."
But it's a bit unbearable. Of course, it's more like looking for people who share the same path after betrayal.
Qian Yushan looked slightly anxious, then looked at Gao Yue and said: "If you have any orders from King Gao, please tell me directly. We are willing to do your best."
"Write a victory report and say that the army has won a great victory and wiped out all of us in one fell swoop. Gao Moukan will be sent to the capital to be punished." Gao Yue said directly with a calm expression and without showing off.
Qian Yushan, Niu Jizong: "???"
Guo Peng opened his eyes at this time and sneered: "Fantasy! This is deceiving the imperial court. It is a huge crime! It is not an exaggeration to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Qian Yushan, General Niu..."
After being beaten the day before yesterday, he reluctantly wrote a military order, which was a big mistake. Unfortunately, the Nanyang Guard commander was too stupid to notice that the wording and seal of his military order were different from the previous order system, so he still sent troops, and was arrested.
It's really hateful to be ambushed by people.
But even if he wrote a warrant before, he could still evade the crime of defeating the army. In the end, even if the court questioned him, he would be the only one who died. But now he deceives the court and if the situation in Henan further deteriorates, it will be the sin of genocide, including the whole family, young and old, and the clan.
They will all be buried with him!
"Bang." Before Guo Peng could finish speaking, Wei Song gave Guo Peng a flying kick and kicked the Henan Dusi general to the ground. Then he picked up a sharp knife, thrust it into Guo Peng's neck, and said with a ferocious smile.
: "Guo Dushuai, how many of our brothers did you kill in Huguang? Have you ever thought about today? If you don't obey me, I will cut off your flesh piece by piece!"
Guo Peng was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He looked at Wei Song coldly and said vaguely, "I'm waiting for you guys down below."
When Gao Yue saw this, his expression changed slightly and he said urgently: "Stop him!"
However, the incident happened in such a hurry that it was too late. There was only a "pop" sound, Guo Peng shouted angrily, and he suddenly grabbed his neck and hit the tip of the knife against his neck.
"Pfft!"
His neck was pierced by a sharp knife, and Guo Peng groaned in pain, twitched, and fell to the ground.
Shao Yingchen suddenly became frightened at this moment, his face darkened. He was originally sitting behind the screen, but suddenly he stood up and looked at the scene of suicide with surprise and uncertainty. His heart was inexplicably shocked.
Wei Song was caught off guard at this time, and his face turned ugly. He looked down at the blood soaked in his clothes and cursed bad luck.
Gao Yue's expression was already livid, the veins on his brows were bulging, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He glared at Wei Song with an angry look, and a hunting evil spirit swept over like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, making Wei Song startled and shouted angrily.
Ru Lei: "Who asked you to take out the knife?"
"Brother, I..." Wei Song was speechless, hemming and hawing, speechless.
Knowledge ruins big things.
At this time, Ma Liang quickly tried to persuade him: "Brother, this guy named Guo wants to die. Even if he doesn't have his eighth brother, he still wants to commit suicide. It's not a pity to die when the hawks and dogs of the imperial court have made a clear path to the end."
Gao Yue suppressed the anger in his heart, his face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly.
Everyone is dead at this time. It is really not appropriate to hurt your brother's heart over this matter.
Niu Jizong's face was pale and pale, and he was so frightened that he was shocked. He looked at Henan Commander Guo Peng, who fell down in the government hall, half of his cheek touching the ground, and a large pool of blood flowed out from under his neck. He was shocked and frightened at the same time.
.
"Sir." Gao Yue felt a headache and turned to look at Shao Yingchen with a questioning look.
Now that the commander of Henan Dusi is dead, it will be difficult to win people's trust if he wants to write a report on the victory.
Shao Yingchen also felt a little sighing in his heart. His face paused and he said thoughtfully: "Commander, use his seal, imitate handwriting to write an official document and deliver it to Shenjing. Although it is easy to be discovered, it is better than nothing."
Gao Yue frowned and said, "Can this win the trust of the court?"
Shao Yingchen shook his head and said: "It can be fooled for a while. In addition, let Niu Jizong, who served as the Governor of the Fifth Army, write a memorandum of merit and send it to the court. In this way, it can be correct and mutually supporting.
I believe a little, but I can’t hide it from smart people, but that’s all I can do.”
Then after saying this, he stared at Guo Peng and said coldly: "The Chen and Han Dynasty has become so decayed, and it is simply stupid for them to be buried for it. This person is the leader, and he is the same acquaintance of Runing Mansion, Tongxuan and others.
The heads are hung together on the flagpole outside the government office!"
Following the destruction of Runing Mansion, except for Runing Magistrate Qian Yushan and some low-level officials, they were able to save their lives. Officials such as Tong Zhi and Tong Magistrate of Runing Mansion were confiscated and beheaded. This naturally won the hearts of the people of Runing.
As soon as these words came out, Wei Song, who was originally looking gloomy and uncertain outside the Yamen Hall, breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Yue immediately turned his attention to Niu Jizong and asked: "Master Niu, you are a noble of the country and have made great achievements in suppressing the bandits. You should also write a memorandum of merit to the court and describe the war. How about it?"
Niu Jizong was complaining secretly in his heart at this moment, saying: "This... this old Niu can't write. This is the crime of genocide. Besides, the gentleman just said it, and he can't hide it from smart people. And I, the old Niu, can't write well, so how can I write anything?"
Memorials are usually made by others."
Gao Yue said coldly: "If that's the case, keeping Lord Niu will be of no use."
He didn't believe in any nonsense.
Niu Jizong's face turned pale, and he felt a sense of fear in his heart. He was in a dilemma for a while.
Gein, there is great terror between life and death!
At this time, Shao Yingchen said in a deep voice: "If you help sign this victory report, you will completely separate yourself from the imperial court. How about following the general and becoming a minister of the dragon?"
Niu Jizong's expression changed and he was a little at a loss.
Damn, he is the founder of the country, why should he serve as a minister of the dragon?
"Master Qian, don't just look at him. Please advise Master Niu." Gao Yue turned to look at Qian Yushan.
Qian Yushan laughed along with him, but with fear in his heart, he said: "Master Niu, the green hills left behind are still there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. To whom should I sacrifice my life?"
After all, Niu Jizong was persuaded by Qian Yushan to borrow the donkey from the slope. Compared with the future annihilation of the three tribes, which was still in the future, the immediate danger to his life was obviously more imminent.
So a military report and a memorial asking for credit were prepared under the guidance of Mr. Shao and sent to the capital with two shrewd men.
…
…
Time flies, and five or six days have passed before I know it.
Six days ago, under the assignment of Jia Heng, the governor of Jinyi Prefecture personally led a team on a fast horse and traveled day and night to Henan. Some of them went to the direction of Runing Prefecture for inspection, and the other part went to Kaifeng Prefecture.
As for the 12th Regiment Camp of the Beijing Camp, it was like a machine with gears running at high speed. It began to take advantage of the training opportunity to deploy cavalry for training.
Within a few days, Jia Heng ignored the noise of impeachment outside and went to the capital camp with Princess Xianning.
And just as Jia Heng expected, Emperor Chongping ignored all the memorials that impeached Jia Heng and blamed Jin and Liu. At this time, the Kedao Yanguan was aroused to a greater rebellious mentality and continued to punish Jia Heng three times a day.
More than ten memorials were delivered to the General Affairs Department, threatening to drown Jia Heng in his saliva.
The contents of the impeachment memorials are the same and lackluster. Most of them impeach Jia Heng for being authoritarian and domineering, and for wielding power well.
However, Yunnan Dao Yushi Gong Yanming's impeachment memorial was the most penetrating. The impeachment memorial was written in a colorful way. It included three memorials in a row, impeaching Jia Heng, Qin Ye, and Jia Zheng, and accused Jia Heng of having ulterior motives. Immediately, a group responded and impeached
Zhang Ruchao and Gong Yanming, the censor of Yunnan Province, are famous among their colleagues in the field of science and technology and are unparalleled in the limelight.
Because Jia Heng paid no attention to it and did not even write a self-complaint, he even got the reputation of "Jia Mian Mian".
Cotton is not afraid of bounce.
As for the news about Beijing Camp deploying cavalry from Shenshu Camp and organizing training, because it was suppressed intentionally or unintentionally by Beijing Camp and Jinyi Mansion, it has not been completely spread, so it has not caused an uproar in the capital, and naturally it has not been suppressed by the Censor.
He was impeached, but as time passed, it became clear that he could not hide it for too long.
Once this matter is revealed, Gong Yanming will again write a memorial: "Heng is a traitor and a treacherous person. He controls the brocade clothes inside and the capital camp outside. He cultivates cronies and has ulterior motives."
Before we knew it, it was the end of the month, and this day was the time when King Wei held his wedding ceremony.
The officials of the imperial court were obviously attracted by this incident, or they were attracted by the ceremony of canonizing the princess, or they were secretly speculating that this ceremony was different from the previous ceremonies of the two kings of Qi and Chu.
Could it be that the emperor already has the intention of appointing a crown prince? After all, the emperor has been in power for fifteen years and is actually quite old. The country has not been established for a long time, which is a disaster rather than a blessing for the country.
