Before I knew it, I had been going for more than a month. In the past month or so, Da Song has not been calm at all, and it has been completely eventful.

The Baokang Army celebrated the festival, and Wu Heng, the commander of the Weibu Military Division, was ordered to lead the infantry military division to Guangnan to quell the Manichaean rebellion. After arriving in Guangnan, they were defeated by Manichaean men and horses in Gouzhi Mountain in Rongzhou and Cenxi in Tengzhou, and more than 3,000 soldiers were killed. Now retreat to Wuzhou, Fengzhou, Zhaozhou, Xunzhou, Xiangzhou. He also taught Manichaeism to fight several battles in a row, but they were defeated by more than they won by others. For a while, they were unable to attack Manichaeism.

At this time, the Manichaeans took advantage of the situation to divide their troops into three routes, led by Lai Wenzheng to fight against Wu Heng in Tengzhou, and led by Li Jin to occupy Deqing Mansion, Xinzhou and Nansizhou. On the other hand, Chen Ziming led his army westward and successively captured Guizhou, Hengzhou, Qinzhou, and Yongzhou Zuojiangdao.

The entire Guangnan West Road totaled 2 prefectures, 3 armies and 20 prefectures, and was occupied by Manichaeism at once 12 prefectures such as Qiong, Rong, Lei, Hua, Gao, Lian, Qin, Heng, Gui, Xin, Yulin, Nansi, Changhua, Jiyang, and Wan'an, plus Deqing Mansion belonging to Guangnan East Road. All of a sudden, Manichaeism was huge, with more than 300,000 followers, sweeping most of Guangnan Road and more than 1,000 miles.

When the news reached Lin'an, the court shook. No one thought that the Manichaean army would be so powerful. Yu Yunwen, who is the prime minister and privy envoy, was also surprised. Originally, he didn't care too much about the Manichaean rebellion, thinking that it was just taking advantage of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty and the lack of military strength in the south to give Manichaean a loophole. sent the general Wu Gong and the most elite Sanya forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, after quelling the chaos, Yu Yunwen sometimes felt that it was a knife to kill chickens, who knew that Wu Gong arrived in Guangnan, and even suffered defeats.

You must know that Wu Gong is a general, proficient in the art of war, and he is also a general who has made great achievements. He was once listed as the "three marshals" after Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun with Li Xianzhong, Cheng Min, and the infantry division of the forbidden army was one of the best armies in the Great Song Dynasty in terms of assembly, experience, and quality, plus the local box army, with a total of seventy or eighty thousand men and horses, not only could not quell the rebellion, but was beaten to the point of abandoning the city, causing the rebels to become more and more powerful, in order to surpass the rebellion of Li Shun, Wang Xiaobo and Fang La. Although it is not yet to the point of competing with the Great Song Dynasty, it has also faintly become a big trouble.

And now the taxation and conscription of the entire Quang Nam West Road have been stopped. It also affects the income of Quang Nam East Road. The income of the Guangzhou City Bosi alone has been reduced by half. The annual commercial tax of Guangzhou City Bosi can be as high as three or four hundred yuan, which is an important source of financial revenue for the Great Song Dynasty. More importantly, if the Jin State learned the news and took the opportunity to attack the Song Dynasty, then the Great Song Dynasty would fall into the predicament of being attacked from both sides. At that time, I am afraid that there is a real danger of losing the country.

Zhao Tuan hurriedly summoned Yu Yunwen, Liang Kejia, Chen Junqing, Long Dayuan, Liu Heng and other ruling ministers to discuss the plan to pacify Guangnan.

Chen Junqing first said: "Now the situation in Guangnan is dangerous, we must not take it lightly, in my opinion, we should talk about increasing troops, and we can transfer some of the people of the front division of the palace to Guangnan." ”

Yu Yunwen said: "Now there is only one palace division left in the Sanya forbidden army in Beijing, how can it be easily transferred, once the palace front division is transferred, what should I do if something happens to Lin'an." ”

Liang Kejia said: "Now the situation in the north is gradually settling down. Is it possible to transfer some people from Jianghuai or Xiang'e to lead the army to the south to quell the turmoil by Han Yanzhi or Li Xianzhong? ”

Yu Yunwen shook his head and said: "This is not appropriate, although the situation in the north is gradually stabilizing now, who can guarantee that the troops will not invade the south." Once the troops are transferred to Nanda, thousands of miles away, if the Jin State invades the south again, it will not be able to come back. ”

Liu Heng said: "Judging from Ju Guangnan's emergency documents, although Wu Heng has failed repeatedly, there are also reasons such as unfamiliar location and unsuitable water and soil. The strength of Wu Gongjun is still there, so I don't need to increase my troops for the time being in the future, not to mention changing generals in battle, which is also a taboo for soldiers. ”

Yu Yunwen nodded and said, "That's reasonable." ”

Liu Heng said: "But I thought that we should set up an envoy in Guangnan to supervise the war, and spread the word to Wu Gong, and try to live in the war and not be able to maintain the military aircraft. See what it does and then make a decision. ”

Chen Junqing listened, nodded and said, "Then who should be sent as the envoy of Guangnan?" ”

Liu Heng said: "I thought Fan Chengda could take on this responsibility. ”

However, these things have nothing to do with Yang Yan, he is not a person with a lot of fame, and he is idle at home. It's just that I think that I and Zhao Qianru have never had a chance, and sometimes when I think about it, I feel very sad, because he is in front of Cuiwei Pavilion, Zhao Qianru looks at him, and the eyes are always in his heart.

Wan Xiansheng and Yi Xiu were canceled because of his marriage, and they left after a few days. Guangyan came to see Yan Rui a few more times. In addition to seeing a doctor, he also had a long talk with Yang Yan. Although Guangyan is a disciple of Buddhism, he has a wide range of knowledge, and all the sons and hundreds of schools are involved, Yang Yan usually only likes to read military books, and there are very few other books. But often talking about the ancient theory with Guangyan has also increased a lot of knowledge, and he has also become interested in the hundred cases of Zhuzi, anyway, he has nothing to do at home, so he has also read a lot of other books, and he goes to Xianyan for advice if he doesn't understand. Guangyan was helpless and explained in detail. The two became friends for the rest of the year.

After recuperating for more than a month, Yan Rui's injuries have also improved greatly. You can't walk on the ground yet, but you don't have to lie prone in bed. Tassel thanked her for not wanting to frame Yang Yancai for being tortured, and knew that Yan Rui's background was bleak, so she was both grateful and sympathetic to Yan Rui. personally inquired about Yan Rui's diet and daily life, decoction and medicine.

After a long time, Yan Rui also knew that the tassel was Yang Yan's childhood sweetheart, Yang Yan can't be a colt now, and he will definitely marry the tassel as his wife in the future.

On the other hand, the construction of Yang Yan's mansion did not stop because of his dismissal. According to Yang Yizhong, anyway, the land has been bought, the demolition has been demolished, and the construction has been built for more than half of the time, so the prince should not give up halfway, and repair it in one go.

Yang Yan thought about it, and there was some truth, anyway, all the money was Yang Yi's, although he dismissed the official and did not have an official salary, but the land property was still there, and relying on these land properties, it was enough to repair the expenses in the future. Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, and the money will come in immediately, Yang Yan thinks that this year he can spend a good year at home with the tassel.

However, on this day, Yang Yan suddenly received an invitation from Yu Yunwen, inviting him to meet him at the West Lake.

If it was someone else's invitation, Yang Yan wouldn't go. But only Yu Yunwen is an exception, firstly, Yu Yunwen is one of the few ministers of the DPRK and China who Yang Yan respects, and secondly, because of Yu Gongliang's relationship, so he had to go to the appointment.

The remnant sun sets in the west, the sunset is gorgeous, although it is dusk, but the shore of the West Lake is still full of tourists, lingering in the lake and mountains. At this time, it was the beginning of autumn, and the autumn wind was cool, blowing the heavy willows on the shore, swaying.

Yang Yan was extremely far away, the water of the West Lake was rippling, and a thin mist gradually rose on the surface of the lake, but it was like diffuse sorrow. The mountains around the lake overlap, the Qiongtai jade is looming, and the cruise ships in the lake are like shuttles, reflecting the sunset, all shrouded in a layer of golden color. The sound of light silk and bamboo vocal instruments, and the graceful singing of the courtesans came, but it was a casual scene.

Yang Yan suddenly thought that although he had lived in Lin'an for several years, he had never been boating on the West Lake. If you wait for Yan Rui's injury to heal, you will take her and the tassel on the West Lake to play on a boat and listen to Yan Rui play and sing, it will also be a pleasure to go.

At this time, a painting boat slowly sailed towards Yang Yan, and Yu Yunwen was facing him in the boat. The boat docked on the shore, Yang Yan stepped on the painting boat, and the whistle bamboo on the boat floor gently touched the shore, and the painting boat rowed smoothly and steadily towards the lake.

Yang Yan walked into the cabin and saluted Yu Yunwen: "Yang Yan has seen Xianggong." Seeing Yu Yunwen sitting peacefully behind a round table, there were four side dishes on the table, a pot of wine, and two bowls and chopsticks, obviously waiting for him to come.
