Chapter 4 Attack

September 27, 2019. Although the sun was shining brightly outside, there was a gloomy atmosphere in the Tokyo Palace.

The ministers in the Golden Palace seemed to be pressed by a big stone, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear that they would provoke the thunderous anger by accident.

Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji slapped the guards of the dragon chaise with his big hand and shouted loudly: "Does it really be like those affidavits say, am I a fool?"

The Grand Tutor Cai Jing felt cold when he heard Zhao Ji's depressing shout. He knew that the official family was really angry.

Cai Jing immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, don't believe in the bewitching of a group of thieves. The wise and intelligent are a rare benevolent and righteous ruler in ancient times. His virtue can be matched with the Three Kings and Five Emperors, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang are not as good as the wise!"

Zhao Ji felt a little more uncomfortable when he heard Cai Jing's flattery.

He said: "Then why are there so many rebels in the world who want to rebel? The Luda rebellion has not been quelled yet. Now there are rebellions in Hebei and Jiangnan."

Cai Jing raised his head and said anxiously: "Master, these people are all people with ulterior motives and are peeping at magical artifacts. Master should not underestimate themselves!"

Wei Chen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and shouted loudly: "Now thieves from all directions have emerged and plundered prefectures and counties. They are all the emperor favored the six thieves, which will lead to the injustice and harm the world. I beg the emperor to be close to the wise ministers, stay away from villains, and eliminate the six thieves, and the world will prosper!"

When Zhao Ji heard a minister accusing Zhao Ji of favoring the villain in public, he shouted: "Bold! You are just a humble minister, but you dare to speak loudly and argue with the ministers. The person who comes will eliminate this person's fame and fortune and drive him out of the palace!"

Su Yuanjing was able to cheat on each other and suppress Qingliu's faction, but he was still favored by the emperor. In addition to Su Yuanjing's own talent, another important reason is that he is smart.

He will not directly conflict with treacherous officials like Cai Jing, but he will find a way to solve the problem.

Seeing Zhao Ji getting angry and want to punish Wei Chen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Su Yuanjing stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, now the bandits are everywhere, the most urgent task is to send troops to suppress them, rather than blame the ministers, and delay the opportunity! I beg the Lord to order the order to send a large army to fight against the bandits to quell the bandits!"

Zhao Ji is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart. But smart people often love face.

Wei Chen, in front of the advice of many ministers, made Zhao Ji lose his face, and he angrily wanted to punish Wei Chen.

Now seeing Su Yuanjing set up all the steps, Zhao Ji shouted with the opportunity. "Who should I send to suppress the rebels among Su Aiqing?"

Su Yuanjing bowed and replied respectfully: "Hebei Tian Hu is just a minor offender. He can just send a general to lead his troops. I suggest sending the Xihe governor Liu Fa to lead his troops to suppress it. Only Fang La in Jiangnan should not be underestimated. This person is accustomed to despising people with religion. If it is handled improperly, it will be like a peaceful thief in the late Han Dynasty, causing trouble to the world! I think that the brave general sent a large army to pacify it, Yao Ping Zhonggang is brave, and I suggest that this person leads troops south to wipe out Fang La's rebels. It's just..."

Su Yuanjing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Shu Prime Minister was defeated, and Taiwei Gao took away twenty troops. There are not many imperial guards in the capital now. In order to protect the safety of the emperor, we should not act lightly. I suggest that we draw 50,000 troops from Taiwei Gao, and at the same time, General Yao is allowed to recruit troops from prefectures and counties along the way and go south to pacify the thieves!"

Hearing Su Yuanjingdi's proposal, Liang Shicheng shouted: "Shandong's thieves are right in front of us, and the threat is even greater. If you don't quell the Shandong thieves quickly, you have to go to the *** South to rebel first. You really can't tell the difference! Su Yuanjing, you proposed to draw troops from Taiwei Gao, what's your intention!"

"The emperor, the land in Jiangnan is fertile and the resources are extremely abundant. It is an extremely important place for money and money in the Song Dynasty. Now the income of the imperial court is already reserved. If Jiangnan is occupied by rebels, our Song Dynasty will not be able to make ends meet. Therefore, it is better to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan than to delay! Only by pacifying Jiangnan as quickly as possible can the losses be minimized. Please give the emperor a clear guide!" Su Yuanjing explained hurriedly.

"Is there any news from Shandong?" Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji asked worriedly.

Su Yuanjing replied, "There is no news in Shandong. Since the war in Yanzhou, the rebels have retreated to Xia County. I think it is the thief who defeated Tong Guan's troops and suffered heavy casualties, so they can only retreat to rest. Gao Taiwei has already stationed in Dingtao, and Tong Guan leads troops to station in Juye. I believe that the bandits will not threaten the capital again!"

The Grand Tutor Cai Jing was different from the eunuch Liang Shicheng. He was very greedy for money and knew better the significance of Jiangnan to the Song Dynasty.

"Master, I agree with the proposal of Su Taiwei's first pacifying Jiangnan." Cai Jing nodded and said.

Seeing that both ministers agreed to pacify Jiangnan first, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and shouted: "I also understand this truth deeply! As far as my beloved, I send Zhe Kecun to lead troops to pacify the rebels in Hebei. Send Yao Pingzhong to lead troops to pacify Jiangnan."

"Abide by the order!"

...

On October 20, in the lobby of Xia County Government in Yanzhou, Cao Zheng hurriedly ran in from outside. "Report to the general, the spy's report, the court sent Zhe Kecun to lead troops to pacify the rebels in Hebei. Yao Pingzhong led troops to pacify Jiangnan. Gao Qiu's 200,000 troops from Dingtao were transferred 50,000 and went south to pacify the thieves!"

After waiting for almost a month, I finally heard the imperial court dispatching troops. Hu Yanzhuo shouted excitedly: "General, now the Song Dynasty is full of internal and external troubles and is full of dangers. It is a good time for our army to attack. Send troops to attack Jeju!"

Luan Tingyu was also impatient, and he shouted loudly. "General, please send troops. I am willing to be the vanguard, flatten Juye City, and capture Tong Guan alive!"

Luda stood up. "Of course, how can you miss such a good opportunity! This time, you will seize Jeju first, and then wait for an opportunity to annihilate the Gaoqiu army. Jiang Jing, you can immediately mobilize food and grass for marching and fighting!"

"No!" Jiang Jing replied with his fists.

"Hu Yanzhuo, Luan Tingyu, Shi Wengong, you can go back to the camp to scrupulous army and horses, and prepare to attack Jeju!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

As the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had to attack everywhere to calm the thieves in various places, the Lu family army, which had been resting for more than four months, finally launched another attack, aiming directly at Jeju.
