Chapter 173 Please invite Hebei

Tokyo Bianliang is not far from the Yellow River. Liangshan's army chased the golden soldiers and stopped after arriving at the Yellow River. Therefore, the vast land of Hebei north of the Yellow River is still under the control of the golden soldiers.

The two armies are now looking across the river. Liangshan people will not cross the river without Song Qing's order, and the golden soldiers who have greatly damaged their vitality also have no courage to cross the Yellow River.

The land of Hebei must be recovered, but it must also wait until Zhao Huan went south. Only after completely controlling Kaifeng can Song Qing go on the Northern Expedition with peace of mind.

However, the necessary preparations still have to be made. Song Qing mobilized the two water armies of Liangshan and Dengzhou, went up against the water, stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, and cooperated with the army to cross the river at any time.

Liang Shan hero and Jinbao Yang Lin replaced Han Shizhong as the governor of Jinan.

Guan Sheng, Qin Ming and Han Shizhong, each led 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, stationed on the front lines of Pingyin, Yucheng and Shanghe, preparing for the war, waiting for Song Qing to issue orders for the Northern Expedition and sending troops to Hebei at the same time.

Finally, Song Qing led the 150,000 troops now stationed outside Kaifeng City, and will then go to Hebei as an army.

The so-called auspicious day, I think it's that day. Therefore, ten days after Song Qing stationed in Kaifeng, Zhao Huan rowed the property in the palace and dragged his family south.

Although there is no ready-made palace in Lin'an, it doesn't matter. There are a lot of rich businessmen there, casually picking out one, and the houses are like palaces. In addition, it is also close to Mingzhou. The silver of the city is like flowing water. Song Qing agreed to subsidize a large amount, so isn't it fast to build a palace?

In fact, Song Qing knew in his heart that Zhao Huan was psychologically troubled. Seeing that the former imperial city had become this shabby, and at the same time, with himself, he, the emperor was also nominal, so it was better to leave without seeing or upset.

Song Qing also didn't want Zhao Huan to stay in Kaifeng, otherwise he would not be able to show his fists.

After appointing several officials recommended by Chen Dong on this day, Song Qing took people to Tianbo Yangfu. Here, I want to visit Mr. Yang, and then I hope that Yang Yizhong can come out to help himself.

Song Qing heard Han Shizhong say that Yang Yi is also a rare general. Of course, the person who can be praised by Han Shizhong will not be as bad as that, and he still has the blood of Mr. Yang, a real general tiger.

With this mood, Song Qing came to invite him in person. As last time, far away, Song Qing ordered people to get off the horse and walk to show his respect for the Yang family.

Yang Yizhong has been fighting on the front line of the Anti-Jin Dynasty these days. It was not until the arrival of Liang Shan's army that he returned home. To put it to his heart, he was a little ashamed of Song Qing. After all, Song Qing has always been respectful to his Yang family, but he slipped away silently.

Now the news came that Song Qing and the king of Liang would be stationed in Kaifeng. The whole city was happy, but he sat at home drinking muffled wine.

The Song Dynasty is like a candle in the wind, swaying. He has no hope for this country, and he doesn't care how far Song Qing will develop, but now he is a prince, and he can't rely on it.

If you had joined Liangshan earlier, you could also conquer the Jin people now, right?

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. As the saying goes, he was more worried by drinking. Just when he was already seven points drunk, his family suddenly ran in in panic.

"Dalang, stop drinking, come on!"

Yang Yizhong slanted his drunken eyes and hiccuped, "Who came to make you panic like this? Is it possible that King Liang will come again? Haha!"

"Why can't I come?"

Before Yang Yi's words fell, Song Qing came in with a smile.

Song Qing actually came to his home?

Yang Yi forgot to put down his hand holding the glass. He looked at Song Qing in a daze and couldn't help muttering, "How can it be, how can it be..."

Song Qing came to the table and saw that Yang Yi only used a few peanuts to drink. He couldn't help frowning and turned to the bodyguard and said, "Go get a good banquet on the table. I want to have a few drinks with Brother Yang."

The bodyguard answered and went. It was not until then that Yang Yizhong woke up. At the same time, most of the wine also woke up. He turned over and was about to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by Song Qing.

"Today we will only continue our brotherhood, and we will talk about other things later"

They actually treated themselves like this with the respect of the prince. The seven-foot man in Yang Yi felt that there was something in his eyes, which was warm.

He bowed his head and took the opportunity to wipe Song Qing's chair to cover up the past.

Seeing this, Song Qing couldn't help but feel a little more confident. He did not come to ask Yang Yizhong to help him. If Yang Yizhong still wanted to be loyal to the Song Dynasty, he would not be reluctant. However, the relationship between the two is obviously over.

The bodyguard quickly brought back the wine and vegetables. Song Qing borrowed flowers to present the Buddha and sat opposite Yang Yi and drank with him. However, Song Qing only drank two glasses and put down the wine glass, because there were too many facts waiting for him to deal with.

After a few words of chat, Song Qing went straight to the point.

"Brother Yang, to be honest, I came to the Yang family for two purposes. One is to invest in the renovation of Tianbo Yang Mansion for the old man, and the other is to hope that Brother Yang can come out and help me. It's a pity that a general like Brother Yang is buried at home. I don't know what Brother Yang wants?"

If Yang Yizhong hesitates again at this time, there is really something wrong with his brain. He stood up and respectfully saluted Song Qing and said, "Thank you for the prince's love, Yang is willing to cover his heart and do not hesitate to do so."

"Hehe! It's not that serious. In this case, I won't stay any longer. Let's drink again when the golden soldiers are completely driven away. You can go to my father-in-law tomorrow, and my father-in-law will arrange for you, and say hello to your mother for me."

Song Qinglai had ordered someone to prepare a gift for Yang Yizhong's mother. After giving it to Yang Yizhong, he got up and left.

Accompanied by Yang Yizhong, I came to the door of Yang's house and heard someone outside the door shout, "I want to see King Liang. I don't have time to work with you. I must see him immediately."

It turned out to be the voice of the veteran Zong Ze. Why did he chase here?

Song Qing walked out of the door with Yang Yizhong, waved the bodyguard to retreat, and said with a smile, "What made the old general so anxious?"

The old general's white beard fluttered, strode over and hugged his fist slightly, which was a gift to Song Qing. He shouted, "The last general heard that King Liang has replaced a group of officials from Kaifeng Mansion. Why don't I know about Kaifeng? Can King Liang give Ben an explanation?

So it's for this? The days are still long! Why can't you stand it at the beginning?

Because Song Qing came to the Yang family in person, and the people in the capital heard that the king of Liang was kind to the people and had no airs at all, so outside the bodyguard circle, many people were watching here.

Song Qing is a little annoyed, because you are a loyal minister, so I respect you so much. Don't think I dare not do anything to you and kill you like I provoke you. He said indifferently, "How about we go back and talk about these things in the court?"

Zong Ze sneered and said, "Since there is nothing that can't be seen, is it different? The last general came here, one is to ask the king of Liang to give an explanation to the last general, and also want to remind the king of Liang that your duty is to recover Hebei for the court, not for the cat to run away from home in the capital."

How dare you talk to the prince like this? The hammer was about to rush over, but was stopped by Song Qing.

Song Qing couldn't suppress the fire in his heart and said in a low voice, "I want to ask the old general, what is your identity? Who is this talking to? This is one, and the other is that as a general of the Song Dynasty, do you know where this is? Do you generals who are loyal to the country have ever respected those founding martyrs who are also generals but are willing to throw their heads and shed blood for the country?

"It turns out that I have always respected you, but you have really disappointed me. As for the appointment of officials in Kaifeng, I have my own reason, and I can't question it from you."

After saying that, Song Qing ignored him again and strode until the entrance of the alley before flying on his horse. He went with his own soldiers.

The people around could no longer control it and knelt down to Song Qing's back and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise..."

And at the entrance of the alley, it is the inscription of the Emperor Taizong who personally mentioned that "the civilian officials fell from the sedan chair and the general disembeded".

Yang Yizhong had already burst into tears, knelt down to the back of Song Qingyuan, and kowtowed respectfully before starting up.

He wiped away his tears and looked at Zong Ze and said sneer, "Loyal minister, good general? Without Liang Wang Qiansui's timely arrival, do you still have a chance to be loyal?"

After saying that, he turned back to the house and closed the door directly.

As the people gradually dispersed, only Zong Ze and his men were blue and red in the empty alley.

Song Qing's move is undoubtedly very cruel to an old stubborn man who is dedicated to the country but a little pedantic. But Song Qing had to do something. Kaifeng will serve as the rear base of his Northern Expedition. If this place can't be fully controlled for himself, how can he send troops at ease?

Originally, Song Qing wanted to take some gentle measures against Zong Ze, such as slowly over him, but now it seems that the old man is obviously not so calm, so in order to have no worries, he can only do so.

In fact, strictly speaking, Kaifeng does not belong to Hebei, but Song Qing obviously did not mean to give up this place. And he believes that through the two southern invasions of the Jin soldiers and the various preparations he made, the people of Kaifeng obviously prefer to stay.

To Song Qing's surprise, not long after he returned to his temporary residence, old man Zong came up again.

As soon as he saw Song Qing, Zong Ze took the initiative to plead guilty and bowed down and said, "The old minister plead guilty to King Liang Qiansui. King Liang's identity is respected, and he will certainly not be as familiar with the old minister."

If you reach out and don't hit the smiling face, people take the initiative to admit their mistakes. If you take advantage of the topic, you will seem to be too narrow-minded.

said indifferently, "The old general doesn't have to be like this. You and I are ministers in the same hall. You are older than me. It should be that I should apologize to you. I was really a little excited just now. I hope the old general won't be surprised."

The atmosphere seems to be much more relaxed, but Zong Ze then said, "The people of Hebei are now under the oppression of the Jin people. I don't know when King Liang will send troops to the Northern Expedition?"

This old guy is really persistent.

Song Qing couldn't help frowning again.
