Chapter 145 Cheating

Half a month has passed.

During this period, Xu Han's life was not only the turbulent and panic in Qixing Mountain, but also Xu Han's life was not easy.

There is the Song Dynasty, the most stressful and risky profession, and the general is the only one who is in charge of the expedition. Tong Guan, who lost his head, and Yue Fei, who died of trumped crimes, are all examples. Even if a civilian like Xu Han holds this position, there is no other way out.

After Tokyo was besieged, Taiyuan has become the focus of attention. Zhao Huanxinjun ascended the throne. On the one being, he was afraid of being attacked by the Jurchens again, and on the other, he also hoped to make some achievements, so as to establish prestige and earn the hearts of the people. The successful "resurreation" of Taiyuan and the great victory of Huanglong Valley made Zhao Huan raise his eyebrows. Every day in the morning class, he couldn't help but praise him in the name of Xu Han, which was nothing more than saying that "I use people to get the law".

In this way, it touched the ** nerves of many courtiers and stimulated their "occupational diseases" - according to this situation, if Xu Han returned to the court, he would not be the third princes of Ding and compare the others? No, we must nip this old boy's heroic posture in the bud!

As a result, two obvious "reinforcement" and "reversion" factions emerged in the court of the Song Dynasty, which was the same virtue as when Li Gang mentioned the defense of the soldiers and horses in the capital.

Just as the Song Dynasty was entertaining itself, the envoy of the State of Jin ran to Tokyo.

In the face of the messenger of the State of Jin, Song Junchen will always habitually lose his original sense of majesty and superiority. Although Huanglonggu played a little prestige and allowed them to straighten up a little, the deep fear of "female tiger and wolf" is still lingering. Originally, the two countries could conduct diplomatic negotiations on an equal footing, but Zhao Huan and his ministers, in the face of the unreasonable questioning and even abuse of the Jurman's messengers, somehow there was always a feeling of "softness", and there was no temper at all. In the end, they had to accept all their various "requests".

One of the "requests" of the real woman is to "please" the Southern Dynasty to return the important minister of the State of Jin, Wanyan Xiyin (Gu Shen) as soon as possible.

Through continuous diplomatic negotiations with the Liao and Song dynasties over the years, the people of Jin have also learned how to use diplomatic rhetoric. While using various polite words to inflate the vanity of the Song Dynasty, they pretended to be confused and insisted that the Valley God fell into the hands of Xu Han. At the same time, they constantly advocated the "two peace theory", which was actually to pinch the Song Dynasty's fear of the enemy, and used the military threat theory to blackmail them into submission!

Zhao Huan and many people in the court do not want to fight with the State of Jin again. The feeling of the end of the city is really not good.

So, a letter of imperial edict flew to Taiyuan. First, he urged Xu Han to return to the court as soon as possible. Zhao Huan didn't want to put more than 100,000 troops outside. He was worried that there were so few soldiers and horses in Tokyo. Second, he asked Xu Han to "send Wanyan Xiyin back to Tokyo" as soon as possible and arrested the following "war criminals" - Wang Wei and Zhang Xiao. Chun, Chu Tianya and the leader of the Taihang Rebel Army, Guan Shan. Because Jin's allies hate these guys very much. In order not to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, it is inevitable to sacrifice a few people, and the "big picture is the most important"!

Third, be sure to collect this group of people from Taihang Mountain. Huang Longgu fought beautifully, and the officials were very optimistic about this outstandingly powerful Rebel. Promise them that after returning to the court, all the officials will be added to the commission for heavy responsibilities! - If the people of Jin dare to come again, let them deal with it!

Just like the reuse of Guo Yaoshi. The officials and ministers of the Song Dynasty knew that their army had always been weak, so they had a natural superstition for the kind of army that could fight hard battles, especially those with some achievements. Besides, why are the people of the Taixing Rebel Army all the people of the Song Dynasty? They are their own people. It's better than Guo Yaoshi, who was a minister of Liao! Therefore, Zhao Huan was indeed ready to re-enter the capital, entertain the Taihang Rebels, and cultivate them into a barrier to be stationed in Taiyuan.

......

Xu Han, who received the imperial edict, is simply one head and two big!

Now he finally has a deep understanding of how the officials of the Song Dynasty and those in the court are standing and talking blindly for the generals who lead the troops outside.

It is understandable to ask for Wanyan Xiyin, the arrest of Wang Yu, Chu Tianya and others. However, it is not only necessary to collect the Taihang Rebel Army, but also to capture their leader Guan Shan - isn't this bullshit!

Xu Han was so crazy that he wanted to quit. Such an errand is simply an impossible task. Whoever does it will go crazy!

So on the day he received the imperial edict, Xu Han immediately wrote a resignation letter, saying that the sick body was entangled with heavy responsibilities and wanted to beg for bones and go back to his hometown.

He doesn't want to take care of this mess in Taiyuan, and he can't take care of it!

After submitting his resignation, Xu Han really closed the door to thank the guests. He didn't care about military and political affairs. He only focused on recuperating at home and waiting for the court to approve him to return to his hometown. Therefore, in the past half month, Taiyuan, which has been waiting for prosperity, has been "stopped", and the tug-by-war negotiations with Qixing Mountain have also fallen into a stagnant deadlock.

Soon, Xu Han's resignation flew to Tokyo in a hurry, which was a blast. On the contrary, Xu faction has to play. They keep saying in the official's ear that you trust and value Xu Han so much. He is good. When the national disaster comes to the head, he is still pretentious. It's simply a disgrace to the high expectations of the officials and humiliate the country!

Xu faction can't come up with any powerful words to support Xu Han. They can only gently persuade the officials to still focus on the "big picture" and consider giving some rewards to Xu Han and his soldiers as appropriate. Then, the instructions given by the court should not be too "self-contradictory". The metaphor for dealing with Guanshan can at least be slowed down. After the Taixing Rebels are collected, it will not be too late to deal with it. In fact, the real actress is easy to deal with. They mainly want to go back to Wanyan Xiyin. They have to ask for four war criminals, but we only give three! - There is always bargaining in foreign affairs. If they want a catty, we can only give eight taels, otherwise they will think we are easy to bully!

"Okay, the overall situation is the most important!" Zhao Huan, a young official who was full of anger, had to hold back his temper for the time being, personally made a decree, comforted and encouraged Xu Han, gave some rewards to him and his generals, and changed his words, "Taihang is important to collect and maintain stability."

Xu Han was reluctant to take office again and began to carry out various military and political affairs.

With such a toss, more than half a month has passed. At this time, someone reported that Meng De, the original leader of the Eighteen Villages in Xishan, had recently been rekindled. He returned to Qingyunbao with the support of Qixingzhai, and raised the banner of "fighting the golden dog and keeping the people safe" and kept recruiting. In less than a month, he broke three armed castles of squires and local tycoons (similar to Zhujiazhuang in the Water Margin) and two counties in a row. He also pulled out a small military fortress of Xixia on the Yellow River, and robbed countless money, grain and armaments. A large number of exiles in Hedong have gone to take refuge. Xishan Mengde's strength has expanded rapidly recently, and now there are 20,000 soldiers and horses!

Xu Han began to feel a trace of regret for his pretentiousness and inaction, especially when he knew that Meng De was the sworn brother of Chu Tianya.

"Enfu, we can't sit and watch Xishan so strong. Meng De is the iron brother of Chu Tianya. Maybe Chu Tianya himself is in Xishan now!" The general under him reminded Xu Han, "In the past, Chu Tianya was just a tramp under the shelter of others. Now he has soldiers and horses under his own. He must be big tail. Maybe he will make trouble with the people and horses of Taihang!" Don't forget that Wang Yu is his teacher, Taiyuan is his nest, and there are many sergeants and people who have followed them!"

"Enemy with the imperial court? He doesn't have that courage!" Xu Han remembered the deeds of Chu Tianya dealing with Jin Ren and killing Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing, and for no reason, his hands quirmed. Think about it, Chu Tianya was just a pole at the beginning, and now there are soldiers and horses... But Xu Han did not show timidity in his mouth and kept giving courage to his subordinates.

After careful thinking about it, Xu Han decided to send someone to Taihang Mountain again for mapping and negotiation.

"Why don't we kill Xishan first, cut off the wings of Taihang, and break the roots of Chu Tianya?" The general's suggestion.

Xu Han waved his hand and said, "No! Since Meng De started again with the support of Qixing Mountain, they are in the same spirit. How can we beat Xishan first and then recruit Taihang? Officials have promised a heavy reward to recruit Taihang Zhuzhai. These mountain thieves dreamed of returning to good people, getting promoted and getting rich. Don't worry about their submission. If Taihang falls, Xishan will not be a problem. If it doesn't fall, it won't be too late. As for the recidivist of Chu Tianya, he must be stabilized first, and then secretly take him down after the collection of Taihang. Otherwise, it is not easy to deal with the situation that has angered Meng De. Now the officials are urging him, and we don't have time to linger with them - just say that the court has pardoned Chu Tianya's innocence and will entrust him with heavy responsibility!"

"Enfu is really a wonderful plan!"

In this more than half month, the mountains and mountains of Taihang have been completely two atmospheres. On the one hand, Meng De's ** flew and grew rapidly, and on the other hand, the life of Qixingzhai was full of panic.

The controversy over Zhao'an has seriously affected the stability and development of Qixing Mountain's hearts. Nevertheless, it is still impossible to find a reasonable solution within the cottage.

I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this body. Now, the people of Qixingzhai are really "fascination to the authorities". Although they also want to seek a breakthrough and solve this contradiction safely, they are seriously bound by the word "righteousness", so they can't let go of their hands and feet to make drastic changes.

Therefore, when Xu Han's messenger went up the mountain again, Tang Ang, the great leader guarding the gate, broke the army and cut him with a knife on the spot. The reason was - "What are you doing up the mountain again? Do you still think our cottages are not messy enough?

His Geng Zhi and Huo Lie almost ruined the big deal, and in one sentence, he exposed the civil strife crisis that the cottage is currently facing to the messenger.

Of course, the messenger finally lived a life and met Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong. He showed the imperial edict officially issued by the officials, promising to reward the Taihang Volunteers and entrust them with heavy responsibilities, so that they would be stationed in Taiyuan to resist the golden soldiers and serve the country. In addition, the court has pardoned the crimes of Wang Yi, Chu Tianya and others, and given them the important task of award, so that they can shoulder the important responsibility of protecting the country and the people.

Hearing this news, Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong each breathed a sigh of relief - at least two major contradictions have been solved!

First, you don't have to bother to save the king; second, you don't have to worry about betraying Chu Tianya because of Zhao'an!

At this time, the messenger spared no effort to persuade the two masters to clean up the people and turn to the court as soon as possible to protect the country and the people, and it was not in vain to pay for the words of loyalty of Qixingzhai.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong agreed verbally first and sent the messenger back. Then, the leaders of the whole village were urgently recruited to come with Chu Tianya, and even Uncle He was invited to discuss the matter together.

After more than half a month of rest and conditioning, He Bo's injury has almost healed, and Xiao Linglong has recovered her previous snow skin. Most of Chu Tianya's injuries and weakness during the Battle of Taiyuan have been recovered. He not only recovered, but also began to practice martial arts every day.

Everyone gathered in the main hall of the Seven Star Hall, and Guan Shan showed the official decree in public.

This thing is like a heavy pound bomb, which shocked everyone on the spot.

"I'm not interested in being an official, but as long as the brothers agree, I don't object. However, I won't hand it over easily unless I see my wife appear in front of me first. Otherwise, the female real woman will receive a pile of bones at most!" This is Xue Yu's attitude.

"You know, the eldest brother called me to die, and I will wipe my neck immediately. Wherever the eldest brother goes, I will go!" Every time there is a discussion, Tang Ang seems to only say this sentence.

Xiao Linglong's attitude is more clear, "I'm a female and the remnant of the Liao Kingdom. I'm sure I can't be an official of the Song Dynasty. But I won't use this as a reason to stop everyone. If the cottage accepts Zhao'an, I don't object. But I have to leave alone and go to the world again.

Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong were quite helpless. Originally, they thought that the compromises and concessions made by the court could make an agreement on the attitude of the cottage. At least Jiao Wentong, who had always been opposed in the past, was vaguely about to compromise, but the current opening was the same as every discussion in the past, still showing the result of "no result". .

The situation was once cold.

Chu Tianya was invited to participate in the core meeting of the cottage for the first time. Since he came in, he has been sitting there and drinking tea quietly without saying a word. Uncle He, who was sitting next to him, had the same reaction, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him at all.

At this time, a silent and silent Baixu suddenly said, "I don't know what Brother Chu has?"

"Me?" Chu Tianya put down the tea cup, smiled and said, "I'm honored that the leaders can invite me to participate. But in the final analysis, this is a family matter of Qixingzhai.

"Since Brother Chu wants to say so, well - just take it as a bystander. Can Brother Chu talk about his thoughts? Let's also have more reference and reference. Bai Shu insisted that he had to take something out of Chu Tianya's mouth.

Guan Shan and Jiao Wentong also nodded and asked Chu Tianya to express their opinions.

Chu Tianya smiled helplessly and said four words--

"The imperial edict is fraudulent!"
