Chapter 1061: Bargaining
Du Wanche couldn't help but shake his head on the spot, the battle for the emperor's unification, the father and son tormented the brother and the wall are all commonplace, if Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was a good boy, he would not have embarked on the road of the Dingbei Army; Song Huizong didn't know, he just did it on purpose to make the situation even more chaotic, so that he could give everyone an explanation and see what he wanted to see clearly.
When King Jing Zhao Qi returned to the mansion, he was angry with Song Gongming and Zheng Xiunian who came with him: "You are all dumb, Lao Jiu's hands have reached Jinghu Road, and they are all silent, this white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with feeding." ”
Song Gongming said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is an opportunity for us, Zheng Yinian is still in Ezhou, let him quickly draw up a list, transfer all the people who are not us to Bianliang, and arrange for us to take over the vacated positions." There is also that Zhong Xiang, it is better to show him as the governor of Huazhou, recruit his township as the army of King Qin, and let Yang Qi and Zhong Ziang lead him to Gyeonggi Road; King Kang must think that Zhong Xiang is the prince's man, and let them fight on Gyeonggi Road. ”
Zhong Xiang, a native of Wuling, Dingzhou, set up a township community, so that farmers who joined the township community only needed to pay a little money and grain, and they would implement mutual assistance and mutual aid in the community, and the local government said that this method could "prosper the silkworms and be physiologically rich", and countless poor peasants from hundreds of miles around Dingzhou joined the township community. King Jing Zhao Qi originally had the intention of subduing Zhong Xiang, but after Song Gongming sent someone to investigate, he believed that Zhong Xiang was likely to become another Fang La, and suggested that Zhao Qi get rid of the township community.
Zhong Xiang has not rebelled, both in the government and the people enjoy a very high reputation, Zhao Qi agreed with Song Gongming's idea, but there has been no suitable opportunity and reason to do it, which is very uncomfortable for Zhao Qi, who regards Dongting Lake as his own back garden; ”
Zheng Xiunian and Song Gongming dared to have a problem with Zhao Qi, and they said something to ease the atmosphere, and the clearer the conversation between the three of them became, and they strengthened their idea of letting Zhong Xiang go north. If Zhong Xiang and the others leave Dingzhou, it will be a fish without water, and it will not hurt to clash with Zhang Jun on Gyeonggi Road, if they refuse to be recruited by the imperial court, it will prove that Zhong Xiang has his own ambitions, and at present, Zhong Xiang's strength is not big enough, and Zhao Qi believes that he has the ability to deal with this matter.
As soon as he went to the court the next day, King Jing recommended Zhong Xiang to go out of Zhihuazhou, and suggested that 10,000 soldiers be recruited in Dingzhou and other places to follow Zhong Xiang to the north; King Kang Zhao Gou did not know the details of Zhong Xiang, and he was actually unwilling in his heart, but Zhao Qi rarely recommended people, and no one was willing to refute face, and the two proposals were passed in the court.
Zhang Jun waited in Bianliang for three days, Yang Zhi came back, and met with Zhang Jun in the left-behind division, Yang Zhi received the holy decree, and said to Zhang Jun: "This matter must be agreed by King Yun, when I came to Bianliang, serving as this left-behind division was arranged by King Yun, and the 200,000 people of the Dingbei Army were withdrawn, and where to withdraw to the king of Yun, it was necessary for King Yun to decide, Lord Zhang, are you going to Taiyuan and making these things clear to King Yun?"
Zhang Jun dared to conclude that Yang Zhi and Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, had passed the news, and came back today with Zhao Kai's order; Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "I was just ordered to go to Bianliang, regardless of the problems in Taiyuan." ”
Yang Zhi did receive a reply from Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai now from the transfer of the Jin army, feel the pressure of the Jin army in the north and east, Yang Zhi at this time if he leads more than 100,000 troops back to Hedong, at least he can relieve the pressure; so Zhao Kai means that the Dingbei army can leave Bianliang, but to maximize the benefits, bring all the things that can be taken back to Hedong, but Zhengzhou must not be released.
Preparing to take the army and 300,000 people to Hedong, the most important thing is food, fortunately, the army of the Dingbei Army is there, and there is time, Yang Zhi has enough confidence to delay until after the autumn harvest. It's just that Yang Zhi is not sure whether to stay in Zhengzhou, if Song Huizong's intention is the entire Gyeonggi Road, his son-in-law, who has not yet married, really has no choice.
Hearing Zhang Jun say this, Yang Zhi nodded and said: "Then I will write an official document to Taiyuan, and King Yun will definitely abide by the will of the saint, but before there is no response from Taiyuan, Lord Zhang, please forgive me, I can't hand over the matter of the left-behind division to you." The Dingbei Army will be retreated within two months, and after a month, we can start the handover of the station, if you have no opinion, start with Huaining Mansion first. ”
Zhang Jun knew what Yang Zhi was going to do, but he couldn't blame it, the most important thing was that Zhang Jun didn't have the army and enough officials in his hands now; Zhang Jun could only shake his head and say that he was not optimistic about such an arrangement, Yang Zhi smiled and continued: "Gyeonggi Road has just been on the right track, the situation is not very stable, and the changes in personnel and garrison will definitely cause fluctuations in local people's hearts, so there is no hurry. ”
Yang Zhi didn't seem anxious, his voice was very calm, Zhang Jun could only make concessions, but Zhang Jun asked Yang Zhi to hand over the account books and materials: "Lord Yang is proficient in civil affairs, he should know the importance of continuity, I want to seal the materials now." ”
Yang Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Of course, when I took over Bianliang, all the local treasury made statistics, and it seems that I still checked and signed with the people arranged by Lord Zhang; ”
Yang Zhi's statement made Zhang Jun difficult to accept, now all aspects are thinking about taking back Bianliang, isn't it just that they value Bianliang's materials and prospects, if it is still the original materials, everything will lose its meaning, which is equivalent to taking over a mess by himself. Moreover, Yang Zhi's words were tingling, Zhang Jun's emotions began to get excited, his face changed, and he said angrily: "This matter is a matter for the imperial court, you can't be the master, in the past few months, the imperial court has mobilized a lot of materials for Bianliang, as well as salt money and tea, all of which need to be calculated clearly." ”
Yang Zhi pointed at Zhao Kai and said: "Lord Zhao is an expert, otherwise we can settle the accounts, calculate the materials transported to Bianliang and the salt money and tea we have received, and then compare them with the materials, grain, grass and salaries consumed by the Dingbei Army this month. ”
Zhao Kai hurriedly interjected: "That's too troublesome, it's better like this, Lord Yang, the harvest of Gyeonggi Road, all the grain planted by the Dingbei Army will be taken away, and the rest will be handed over to all prefectures and counties, and they will be left in the official warehouses in various places." ”
