Chapter 225 Family Matters
The reports of Gao Jin and Bai Sheng were sent to Song Qing one after another, less than half a day apart.
However, because Fang La has controlled Shuzhong for a long time, the information sent back by Bai Sheng is relatively complete. According to Lv Shinan's information, there are dozens of barbarian kings in Shu, large and small, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of small.
The largest tribe has a population of nearly one million, and the leader is a Shanyue barbarian named Kangba.
Fang La's methods of dealing with these mountain and Yue barbarians are barbarians, and some are also completely bought and supported by gold and silver. And these people are willing to listen to Fang La, which is nothing more than the love of gold and silver, and can't be completely controlled by Fang La at all.
Of course, Song Qing can also give what Fang La can give, but how can Song Qing use Fang La's strategy? Fang La's strategy is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. These people are like a bottomless hole that adds dissatisfaction. If one day you can't satisfy them, you may turn around and bite you at any time.
Therefore, if you want to have a long-term peace, you must come up with a thorough solution, but this method is obviously not easy to come up with.
Song Qing picked up the information sent by Gao Jin again. Gao Jin said in intelligence that he had met the chief of a tribe under the introduction of Park Long, and also reported to Song Qing about the massacre of other people in the town.
The murderer is someone else, which is expected by Song Qing, and it is even certain that Lu Junyi did the fire worship. However, Song Qing did not give an order to kill Lu Junyi.
Lu Junyi is like a cunning fox, and he has strong martial arts skills. If he can't kill one of them, he will definitely startle the snake. If he hides again, it will be difficult to find him.
It seems that it's time for the other party to use the troops. While preparing to summon the ministers to discuss the matter, Xiao Duozi suddenly came to report, and the princess invited him to go back to the inner house.
Song Qing couldn't help frowning. Dou Niang has always been sensible and rarely disturbs him during his office hours. What's wrong with this today?
Because he wanted to discuss the dispatch of troops to Shu, Song Qing did not get up immediately, but asked, "The princess said she didn't say anything about looking for me?"
Xiao Duozi grinned and said, "Okay, it seems that the son of the world has been beaten"
My son is only five years old, and he is reluctant to move a finger and was beaten by others? Is that okay? Is the public security in Luoyang so bad?
Song Qing's fire suddenly came up. Without thinking about it, he got up and walked out. As he walked, he asked, "Who was beaten by? Where is the injury?"
"It seems that I was beaten by a private teacher, and my little hands are a little swollen."
"Hmm?"
Song Qing couldn't help standing still and understood in his heart that his son must have been naughty and beaten by his husband. Dou Niang loved her son and wanted to punish him. As a parent, there is no problem with Dou Niang's idea, but what the husband did is also right. You can't deal with others just because of this, can you? Then what did you become?
However, this gentleman is not very bold. Although his son did not reveal his identity, he should be able to see that his son is a child of an identifiable family, but he still dares to fight, which is a little fearless of the powerful.
I had investigated this gentleman in the private school before going to the private school, and I knew that he was an innocent and knowledgeable gentleman. So I don't worry that he will be unfavorable to his son. And his son is just cute there, and he will still find another gentleman for him in the future.
After meditating for a moment, he said to Xiaoduozi, "Go back and tell the princess, just say that I know about it, and tell her not to go to trouble with the husband. I have something else. I'll go back later."
Xiaoduozi was ordered to go back, and Song Qing continued to convene the ministers for a meeting.
The ministers had been expected to send troops to Shu by Song Qing, and made a series of corresponding preparations. Only Xia Houcheng raised objections.
"Thousand years old, please forgive me. I don't think it's appropriate to send troops into Shu at this time. The main reason is that our strength is not strong enough, and once the army enters Shu, the roads there are rugged and difficult to make logistical supplies, which invisibly increases our burden. Although the harvest in Jiangbei is good now, it will take some time. When our treasury is full, we will not send troops. It's late!"
If it hadn't been for Cao Zheng's secret report, Song Qing would still be felt by Xia Houcheng's fist heart, but now it sounds like he is delaying time for others.
Zhu Wu smiled and said, "Lord Xiahou's words are not good. Let alone say that now my Liangshan's treasury is full and the people are happy. Speaking of the land in Shu, Lord Xiahou should have heard of the current situation in Shu, right? Fang La and others are brutal, and the people are already in deep water and fire, and it should have been under the rule of a thousand years old. We sent troops to walk the way for heaven and solve the people from water and fire. If we continue to wait, we don't know what the people in Shu will be harmed by Fang La.
Wu Yong also said, "Lord Xiahou's worry is not unreasonable, but I feel that in addition to bringing some grain and fodder, you can also requisition the food and fodder of the local government on the spot, so that you don't have to worry about the inconvenience caused by the difficulty of the mountain road."
The two military ministers have spoken, and Xiahoucheng can't say anything more. I had to say, "Let's make the decision!" The minister's pursuit is "
Song Qing nodded and suddenly said, "Lord Xiahou, I want to send you to Lin'an"
Xiahoucheng was slightly stunned and didn't hear anything about Lin'an recently! Why did the prince send himself to Lin'an? Is it because he advised him not to send troops, which made him unhappy?
Song Qing continued: "Lord Xia's trip is a difficult task. Zhao Huan's death will not die. Lord Xia Hou went on behalf of me. First, I want to explore the reality of the Song court, and the other is to mention that I have contacted two people who are very important to me."
The prince said so, so Xiahoucheng had to bow down and take the order and said, "But I don't know who the prince wants to contact?"
"One is Qin Hui and the other is Huang Qianshan. They are all people who have contributed to me. I heard that they are not doing well in Lin'an, so when you go, think about how can you bring them back? Time is running out, so you can get ready now!"
Song Qing's words are false and real, which can also be said to be giving Xia Houcheng the last chance. If these two people are safe and sound, then Song Qing may still use him. On the contrary, I'm afraid he will never come back.
Xiahoucheng consciously acted secretly and never contacted anyone, so Song Qing could not doubt him at all. He also understood that King Liang's intention to send troops had been determined, and he had better not to be annoying here. He secretly wrote down the names of the two people. After saying goodbye to Song Qing, he turned around and walked out.
Wu Yong looked at Xia Houcheng's back and couldn't help saying, "Lao Zhu, is there a mistake?"
After Xiahoucheng entered the center of Luoyang, he was conscientious and remarkable, which can be said to be a rare talent. No wonder Wu Yong also doubted whether Zhu Wu and others were wrong.
Zhu Wu looked at Song Qing, but said nothing.
Song said lightly, "I hope we are all wrong. All right, let's study the dispatch of troops."
Lin Chong has returned to northern Xinjiang, while Chen Dong has visited the place. The remaining officials are from Liangshan's direct line, so there is no need to worry that someone will leak secrets.
The old general Hu Yanzhuo came forward and said, "According to the will of a thousand-year-old, the Ministry of War has mobilized 200,000 horses and stationed in Jingzhaofu, Fengxiangfu and Fengzhou respectively. Only after the order of the prince, he can swing his army south at any time."
After listening to Hu Yanzhuo's report, Song Qing turned his eyes to Chai Jin. Before the army moved, the grain and fodder went first, and when it entered Shu, it probably cost far more grain and fodder than in the plains.
Sure enough, he heard Chai Jin say, "I forgive you. The problem of mobilizing military grain into Shu is not big, but the food and fodder needed in the future is a little insufficient, so I beg him to give him another two months, and I will definitely prepare all the food and fodder."
Song Qing knew that what Chai Jin was saying was true, and fighting was originally comprehensive strength. Moreover, now he is only discussing with everyone, and the specific date of sending troops has to wait for further information from Shuzhong.
At least, it is necessary to ensure that the indigenous people of Shanyue will not come out to make trouble when attacking Fangla.
nodded and said, "I'll give you three months, and then I won't be ready to come out, but you are the only one to ask."
Chai Jin was overjoyed and bowed and said, "I promise not to live up to the trust of a thousand years old"
Next, everyone studied the specific details of the dispatch of troops. Song Qing is scheduled to march in three ways. One route Jinzhou crossed the Daba Mountain to attack Dazhou, and the other route was Jingzhaofu to attack Xingyuanfu, and then south Bazhou. Finally, Chengzhou sent troops, went to Wenzhou to enter Sichuan, took Longzhou and raided Chengdu.
The three routes are led by Guan Sheng, Qin Ming and Dong Ping respectively. Wu Yong is the commander-in-chief of the military division and coordinates people from all walks of life. Song Qing himself sat in Luoyang.
The strategy of attacking Shuzhong has been decided for the time being. If there is no accident, send troops three months later.
After sending away the ministers, Song Qing got up and returned to his inner house. His son was beaten. It was fake to say that he was not distressed.
When she arrived at the back house, Dou Niang didn't wait to say anything. Ke'er, the first mother, quit and chatted down Song Qing. Later, Dou Niang couldn't stand it and persuaded her son back to her yard angrily.
Song Qing had a wry smile on his face. Liang Wang Qiansui, who was majestic in front of people, arrived in the backyard, but he was not as good as the sick cat.
The son's little hand has subsided after being drugged by An Daoxuan. The child's heart has recovered from the scar and forgot the pain. He went to the yard to play early.
After being made a scene by Ke'er, Dou Niang's anger almost subsided. She looked at Song Qing and said, "Would you like to send someone to warn that gentleman that child is forbidden to beat him?"
Dou Niang can see that the husband has no intention of letting his son come back at all. Although it is a good idea for the husband to let his son suffer, the parents don't care about the child? What's more, the husband is still the most powerful prince in the world? That's why it is said.
Song Qing really didn't want his son to come back. If the child made a mistake, he should be punished appropriately. However, to be selfish, his heart is also very angry. Apart from his identity, whose child has been beaten, can a father be happy? He has decided to go to the private school teacher who dares to beat the prince's son tomorrow.
