Han Daocheng watched the Huang family drive away with more than a dozen pack horses, and said in a deep voice to the military envoy Cao Yang: "Take people to camp outside the village, and then enter the village when the Jingjiang army comes!" ”

Cao Yang promised and commanded his subordinates to set up camp outside Menzhou.

The cavalry is conducive to galloping in the field, Xu Ping specially ordered that they were not allowed to enter the village, they arrived in advance, and what they had to do was to set up a few camps outside the village to control the small basin of Menzhou.

As for the editions and other documents, they were brought by Huang Zhizhou to Pingxiangtong and handed over to Xu Ping, and Han Daocheng only needed to send a team of people to escort them. He is a soldier who fights wars, regardless of civilians.

The camp of the Zhongrui army was set up, the Jingjiang army arrived one after another, and the subordinates of Xu Ping, who accompanied the army, contacted the personnel left here in Menzhou before they drove into the village to officially receive them.

Huang Zhizhou's family arrived in Pingxiangtong, met Xu Ping, and offered the edition. Xu Ping soothed them with kind words, rewarded them with a sum of money, and arranged for them to live in Taiping County. As for how the family will do business in the future, Xu Ping is too lazy to care anymore. Because there are too many local officials who have moved to Taiping County recently, Xu Ping, in order to avoid chaos, directly gives a one-time reward, instead of taking tax exemptions and other preferential treatments, so as not to leave future troubles. As for the concentration of a large amount of cash, which caused temporary inflation in Yongzhou and Taiping County, Xu Ping couldn't control these things.

On the sixth day of the first month of October, everything was prepared, and Xu Ping handed over the affairs of Pingxiangtong to Han Zong, who rushed from Taiping County, and led a group of his subordinates to go out of the state.

At this time, the arrangement of the entire front line has been basically completed, and nearly seventy percent of Yongzhou's troops have been concentrated on the front line of Pingxiangtong, Zhennanguan, and Menzhou, and nearly 5,000 people have been assigned to seven commands, and one commander has been stationed in Ningming Town. Cooperate with the cane sugar township soldiers to defend the back road. And monitor the direction of Luzhou.

On the other side of Yougang Road. Zhizhou Feng Shenji led 2,000 troops to Hengshanzhai to monitor and support Tianzhou. Chongshanzhai on the middle road was still stationed in command of the Jingjiang Army, and cooperated with the cane sugar township soldiers in Taiping County to monitor Bozhou, and choke the path to Guangyuan Prefecture to prevent the Nong family from attacking from there.

At this point, the situation of Yongzhou's three-way coercion of Guangyuan Prefecture has been completed, and the war is about to break out.

On the eighth day of October, Guangyuan Prefecture once again passed Feng Shenji, the governor of Yongzhou. The letter to the Guangnan West Road Transfer Envoy asked for the annex to be attached. The proviso is still to seek to be the envoy of Guangyuan Prefecture, and Natian Prefecture and Bozhou are under the rule. In this situation, Zhang Pin naturally categorically refused, but made a determination to solve Guangyuan Prefecture thoroughly.

At this time, Zhang Pin ran into trouble, he was in discord with Yizhou Tan Zhizhou after Feng Shenji stepped down, Tan Zhizhou was resigned by Zhang Pin after he held a grudge, and sued Zhang Pin for concealing that his son Zhang Wan had been imprisoned, so that he could successfully shadow the official. In addition, Zhang Cun, the palace attendant, has been watching the chapter frequently, and the matter is big.

Zhang Pin's official family was born, and his connections are not comparable to a small family like Xu Ping. At this time, his nephew Zhang had to be like a bachelor of Hanlin, plus the old maintenance. It can still be supported for the time being. But he was good to Ding Wei in his early years, and he offended Liu Mei, the ex-husband of Empress Dowager Liu, when he served in the Third Division......

The border turmoil between the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi continued, which eventually triggered the movement of Jiaozhi. At the beginning of October, Li Foma officially canceled the plan to conquer the city and prepared to raise troops to the north. Of course, at this time, Jiaozhi did not dare to say that he wanted to attack the Great Song Dynasty and beg for death, but only said that he was chasing the fleeing population and pointing his sword at Qinlian Erzhou.

Zhang Pinxing, who got the news, wrote to Yongzhou and asked Feng Shenji and Xu Ping's opinion if Feng Shenji could temporarily leave Yongzhou and organize defense in the Qinlian area, and Xu Ping would temporarily take over Yongzhou as governor.

Feng Shenji took the ministry of Yong, Qin, and Lian to inspect the three prefectures, and this arrangement is also normal, the key is that not only Zhang Pin, but Xu Ping and Feng Shenji are also not at ease with Dong Zhizhou in Qinzhou. This person has won the official position, and he was lucky to be promoted to the position of the governor of a state, his heart is higher than the sky, but he has no ability, and he is a master who will only cause trouble.

At the same time, Zhang Pin ordered the troops of Hengzhou, Guizhou, and other surrounding states of Qin and Lian to concentrate on the two prefectures to prepare for a possible sea raid in Jiaozhi.

On the winter solstice of October 11, the rainy season in Lingnan was over, and all parties moved, mobilizing troops one after another to prepare for the winter expedition.

Xu Ping stood in the side hall of the Menzhou Yamen, looking at Zhang Pin's letter, secretly weighing the situation.

At this step, Qin and Lian can't be without a person in charge, Zhang Pin himself can't go there, he has to coordinate the overall situation in the rear of Guizhou, and he is not a person who can fight. Although Zhang Pin's grandson Zhang Ji was later regarded as a famous general in Western Xia, he did not have the military talent of his grandson and was a typical civilian official.

Feng Shenji had to go, so that there would be no one in charge of Youjiang Road. As for Xu Ping's temporary position as governor of the state, it is a trivial matter, everything in the yamen has a charter, and there is no need to bother much. Besides, this kind of thing is not unprecedented, and the inspection of the three states led by Feng Shenji is not for fun, and it takes a few months to spend in the two states every year.

Thinking about it, only by letting Zhang Dujian, who was guarding his hometown in Yongzhou City, go to Hengshanzhai, Yongzhou City could only be handed over to the judges of Jiedu and the subordinate officials who joined the army. There are nearly 200 forbidden troops in the city, which can fight better than a commanding box army, plus all kinds of chaotic box army, and the defense is enough.

Originally, the capital eunuch had the meaning of supervising the army, and although it had become a kind of commander of the army at this time, in the locality, especially in the place where the military minister was appointed as the governor, the function of the supervising army still remained, such as the power to play alone. However, Yongzhou is special, Xu Ping's general sentence has been greatly expanded since he was also the promotion of cane sugar, and even Feng Shenji, the governor of Zhizhou, was actually suppressed, and Zhang Dujian became a subordinate official completely.

It's a pity that Youjiang Road has no Feng Shenji, even if Zhang Dujian goes there, he can defend but not attack, and the original expectation of the two ways to Guangyuan Prefecture has come to naught, so he can only whip Tianzhou and Bozhou two more times, let them work harder, and create some trouble for Guangyuan Prefecture.

As for Jiadong, you can ignore it for the time being, there is no backbone there without Jiaozhi, and it will take a month or two until the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhi arrive at the border. No one's army is raised there waiting for war every day, mobilization plans and marches, and it takes time to do everything.

At this moment, Tan Hu came in from outside to report: "Official, people from Guangyuan Prefecture came from outside, saying that they wanted to meet the officials!" ”

Xu Ping was pulled back to reality from his thoughts, looked up and said, "Oh, who is from Guangyuan Prefecture?" As soon as you come, you want to see me, such a big breath! ”

Tan Hu said in a deep voice: "Nanya Wang Nong Zhicong! ”

Xu Ping was stunned: "This is really a character, speaking of which he is the prince of Guangyuan Prefecture, he dares to come to Menzhou at this time, which is commendable!" Let him wait in the flower hall! ”

Since Nong Cunfu Liguo called himself Emperor Zhaosheng, he also learned from the Great Song Dynasty and divided his official position, and his eldest son Nong Zhicong was named the king of Nanya, in fact, he was the crown prince. As for Nong Zhigao, who Xu Ping has been talking about, he is only a nine-year-old child at this time, and no matter how talented he is, no one takes him seriously.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping got up and straightened his clothes, and then turned to the flower hall.

On the guest seat, a man in the prime of life of about thirty years old, with a sturdy body and slightly dark skin, sat there with a golden knife. When he saw Xu Ping coming in, he didn't get up or salute, so he looked at Xu Ping.

Tan Hu coughed and said to Nong Zhicong: "This is our promotion of officials, and we don't get up to salute!" ”

Nong Zhicong snorted: "What kind of promotion official, I am the king of Nanya!" When the two countries intersect, it is natural to see the level of the knighthood and official position, and they should salute me! ”

Xu Ping couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "King Nanya! What a majestic title! Why don't you nest in that little ravine and be your king, what are you doing here? ”

Nong Zhicong's eyebrows raised as soon as he heard this: "You are so unreasonable, I am the heir of a country, I came here to see you, naturally I have something serious to talk about, why do you make fun of me as soon as we meet!" ”

"Teasing? You still know the word! The world is so big, it is not the king's land, you think that you are a king if you are crowned a king! There is no Son of Heaven to seal it, but he is just a grass king, and he dares to come to me to put on a score! At most, you are a Fan official, under the Han official, and when you come to me, you must obediently abide by the rules of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Nong Zhicong's mouth pouted: "You are a jinshi, everyone knows that you can only learn well, I won't quarrel with you!" You sit down and let's get down to business! ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "You can't be polite, how can I sit down?" Wouldn't it be a loss of the law of the court to sit down? If you want to talk about things, you also stand up obediently, we can talk about some family things in private, and it is not about the affairs of the court. ”

Nong Zhicong looked at Xu Ping like a monster, scratching his head and couldn't understand where the Han people came from so many inexplicable rules. Huang Shimi, who is the prime minister in Guangyuan Prefecture, although it is said that he is much worse than Xu Ping, a jinshi, is also a jinshi in Guangzhou, so he is much easier to talk to.

After all, it was difficult to resist, Nong Zhicong couldn't run back after a few words, reluctantly stood up, and said to Xu Ping: "Okay, I'll stand up too, you can say something!" ”

Xu Ping looked at Nong Zhicongtong and asked curiously, "Didn't you come to me to have something to say?" ”

"Oh, yes, that's what I said." Nong Zhicong cleared his throat, "You listen, our Guangyuan Prefecture has repeatedly submitted to the Great Song Emperor, asking for the land to be attached, how loyal is this!" It's all you, traitors, for your own selfishness, ignorant monarchs, and provocations! ”

Xu Ping looked at Nong Zhicong and seemed to be smiling. These words were obviously taught to him before someone came, and it was difficult for him to be able to memorize about the same. Listening to this tone, it is probably the handiwork of the mastermind Huang Shimi brother of Guangyuan Prefecture, it is not easy to make the barbarians accept it, and to make the Han officials understand.

The rebellion of these small neighboring countries, and the fact that there are always a few unwilling Han literati rushing to join in the fun, is also an interesting phenomenon in Chinese history. Interestingly, no matter what time it is, there are always people who are willing to go, and there are always people who are willing to solicit and do this game tirelessly. (To be continued.) )
