Zheng Lang asked: "Is Sun Mian like Sun Pin?"

The talent and virtue of officials are even worse than that of another grandson.

Zheng Lang said again: "Duke Xia, learn from Duke Lu."

"Mr. Lu is seriously ill..." Xia Feng answered implicitly.

"The king and his minister must be the prime minister."

"I don't want to be the prime minister. Your Majesty asked me to go to Lingnan. I am willing to die. The main reason is that I don't want others to throw dirty things on me."

Speaking of this, there was no longer a negotiation, and Zheng Lang didn't want to say much. Don't talk about Xia Shu. The gentleman party was in the name of a gentleman, and who could he persuade him? So he ignored it, but wrote a long letter to Sima Guang at night.

I remember a saying in later generations that Chinese intellectuals, professors and political hooligans are just separated by water. Although they are heavy, there are quite a few reasons. There were two major political hooligans before and after the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu in front and Sima Guang in the back. Both of them have great achievements in literature.

Some people don’t understand what the difference between Xuzi and Zizhi Tongjian is. The writing skills are smooth and the narrative ability is clear in terms of the main and the order of the main and the order of the first and second. The authenticity is loyal to historical facts and dare to speak, and the tamper with Zizhi Tongjian is arbitrarily tampered with. For example, Fan Zhongyan was forced by the court situation and advised to sell officials. Xuzi was "a taboo for gentlemen". There are many similar examples. It can be said that as a historical book, the value of Zizhi Tongjian is still above the record of the Grand Historian. But when Sima Guang was in charge, even Xia Shu was not as good as Xia Shu.

Sima Guang was the biggest political hooligan in the Song Dynasty.

It’s not Cai Jing, but Cai Jing has always been a villain. At most, he has a new party and has never given the title of gentleman as a leader on himself.

The second is Ouyang Xiu. He is not as harmful as Sima Guang, but he is also a master of the literary world, but because of his deep oppression, he doesn't know the general, and he talks nonsense in the political arena, jumping up and down. Not only did he ruin Fan Zhongyan's new policy of Qingli, but he also caused a lot of right and wrong. This man is also a literary giant and a political clown.

He could not influence Ouyang Xiu, so he could only write a letter to Sima Guang, repeatedly talking about the political situation and the gains and losses of each person, so that Sima Guang could see and think about it, so as not to follow Ouyang Xiu's old path.

The letter was very long, with tens of thousands of words. It took Zheng Lang nearly three hours to write it until midnight before he finished it. The next day, he sent someone to Sima Guang to learn from it, and then hurriedly left Bozhou. Time could not be delayed. There were also a lot of affairs, followed by several peasant uprisings, and peace talks with the people of Xixia.

He rushed towards Suzhou and ordered the Yangzhou magistrate to lead some troops to the north, and Fu Yongji led his army to the south. He attacked Wang Lun's uprising army to the sky.

He led the cavalry to hurried south, through Suzhou to Sizhou, and to the Tianchang General's army stationed.

Then open the local information browsing.

Compared with the severe drought in the north, after crossing the Huai River, the drought situation had almost no effect. The summer harvest was relatively smooth. The autumn harvest had not arrived, but the grain was growing vigorously. Tianchang was under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou. At this time, he was ordered by Xu Yuan to prepare to raise a large amount of grain to go north. However, due to Wang Lun, people were panic and delayed in the collection of grain. However, a large amount of grain had been transported northward along the Grand Canal by the grain ships. This was a relatively good news. This time, because of myself, I allocated a lot of money, and the original summer tax of the imperial court, including grain, could at least transfer more than 10 million stones of grain to the north. Time was a bit slow, and the grain in the south of the Yangtze River was not a bottomless pit. Even if there were money and some people had ships, they might not be able to gather so much grain immediately. They had to wait until after the autumn before they could raise the grain one by one. Moreover, the food raising of grain in the court affected the price of grain, and the grain prices in some areas began to rise slightly.

In the face of such a major disaster, there must be disadvantages, but the key is still food. As long as one can mobilize hundreds of millions of stones of food, the entire north will be worry-free this year. Or the officials below do not do well, which will only endanger local areas and will not hinder the operation of the entire country.

Put this information aside and look at the enemy's movements.

Fu Yongji led not many soldiers, only two battalions of troops, and the organization was not in place, mostly soldiers, so he kept hanging behind and did not dare to make a front. Wang Lun did not dare to turn around and eat this Song army, and he had even fewer people.

After receiving the order from Zheng Lang, Yangzhou officials did not dare to neglect them. They assigned the third battalion command, and more than a thousand people slowly rushed to Gaoyou. However, the marching speed was very slow and the self-protection was very strong. They were also afraid that Wang Lun would break out of the encirclement. Just half of the troops in Yangzhou were transferred to the north. The troops stationed in the city were relatively empty, and Wang Lun was afraid that Wang Lun would enter the Yangzhou city. But it played some role. With the great fanfare of the two armies, Wang Lun could not sit still in Gaoyou, and gave up his life as a big fish, meat, wine and prostitute, pulled the army out, crossed the Wudang Twelve Lakes to the west, and marched towards Baimatang.

Zheng Lang issued another order, asking Fu Yongji and Yangzhou's official troops to continue to follow, and after the war broke out, he assisted himself in arresting the rebel army.

As long as you defeat Wang Lun, it is easier to do.

Wang Lun was mostly poor people, which was worthy of sympathy, but he had to add a title, mostly desperate people. At the beginning of the uprising, it was worthy of sympathy, but for a month, the bad guys were tired, burned, killed and looted all the way, causing countless people to die tragically under their weapons, and some innocent daughters were ruined by them. This is also something that many brick families in later generations do not record. At the beginning of the uprising, it is quite worthy of sympathy, but at this time, they were all damn people.

Although he was a desperate person, he was a rebellion. A few people saw that the situation was not good and sneaked away. So Wang Lun came up with an idea and stabbed the six big words "Saint Commander from Heaven" on their face. Just like Wang Lun's idea in the Water Margin later, he wanted to go to Liangshan to kill someone first. No matter whether the person is good or bad, he would first bear the lawsuit for life, so that he would not worry about surrendering to the government again, and use this letter of surrender to unite the tribe.

Tattoo is a kind of nature. With these six big characters, Wang Lun's rebels everywhere, and they can't escape even if they want to defect. Being forced by Wang Lun, they will be more brave in fighting. But as long as they defeat them, it is easy to capture them. Moreover, the large areas from Gaoyou to the west are open plains, or there are some lake storms. This is not good for Zheng Lang's subordinates, but Wang Lun's subordinates are also northerners, which is not good. Besides, the arrest is not Zheng Lang's affairs, and it is handed over to local troops to arrest them. These lake storms have become the protection talisman of the official army.

Then wait.

Wang Lun led more than 200 people to move forward slowly westward. He was like locusts, killing many people.

At first, Zheng Lang was sympathetic, but after receiving the news that his lives were brutally killed, the sympathy was finally replaced by full of anger.

Then he did not move, but sat and watched the group of people heading towards Baimatang where Gaoyoujun and Tianchang were socializing.

As the rebel army approached, Zheng Lang set out from the county town and pulled Jiang Kui, the magistrate of Tianchang, and set off south. Jiang Kui was not good at riding skills, but he could ride a steady horse slowly, which was faster than walking. He rode nearly a hundred miles away, not far from Dayi Town, Yangzhou. This is the main battlefield where Zheng Lang was about to choose to fight.

Zheng Lang carefully observed the terrain.

It is not very ideal. There are some small rivers that go east into the Grand Canal, and some are very deep. The agricultural irrigation system is relatively developed, which leads to a large number of irrigation ditches and ponds. Some places have low-lying terrain, and even though horses can run on it, they can also grow crops. However, there are many accumulated silt in the low-lying areas, which does not exceed half of the horse's legs, which hinders the speed of the horse's running.

There are also good places. The overall terrain is flat and wide, except for crops and village trees. It is endless. In fact, the terrain is better in the Huaiyang Army and Suqian, with few paddy fields and flattering terrain. Or it is the low mulberry and marijuana fields, which are more suitable for cavalry and horse riding. However, if the rebel army was destroyed, the subsequent actions were not convincing. So he chose to fight in the sky.

In addition, there are a few soil slopes, and the terrain is relatively high, mostly mulberry fields and dry land. Relatively speaking, it is also beneficial to the cavalry to operate a large number of polder fields to the east and south. After turning around, the field terrain was compared with the irregular map of Tianchang County yamen. County Magistrate Jiang said: "Mr. Zheng, you must pacify these thieves as soon as possible."

The sky is in the north of the Yangtze River. There is no warmth in the south. Most of them are planting single-season rice. This has little impact, but a small amount of double-season rice has also been planted. I heard that Wang Lun's uprising army came, and all the people in the southern villages fled and did not care about harvesting rice. However, a few early rice did not have time to harvest and fell into the fields together. Not only that, if they were not harvested, they could not plant late rice.

Jiang Kui is not a good official. Like Zheng Lang's father-in-law Cui Youjie, he is a Song Dynasty official with mixed qualifications, but he is not bad at being an official. Seeing this large area of ​​early rice that was about to rot in the fields, he was also anxious.

"Minister Jiang, don't worry, the bandits will arrive in Tianchang soon, and even if it is time to wipe out it. I am dragging it, and I will not be able to go east, approaching the Grand Canal, there are five twelve lakes, the terrain is low and there are few soldiers under me, which is not conducive to cavalry fighting, so I have to put them in Tianchang for a decisive battle."

Jiang Kui was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he thought in his heart that you are a dignified prime minister. Even if you travel, you wouldn't only bring two hundred people. Why did you bring two hundred people to suppress bandits? If you brought one thousand two thousand people, why would you have to wait for the opportunity to spread the war to our Tianchang County?

They dare not speak out, the two are too different in levels.

The two went back, but the plan also had some minor differences.

Wang Lun himself is a low-level general with a low level. If he is instructed to serve as an official position and has a high salary and a generous salary, he will not be extremely desperate to rebel. The reason why he succeeds is that he is completely afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones, the hard ones, and the arrogant ones, and the arrogant ones, are afraid of the desperate ones.

There are few people who gather, but they are all futile. They are extremely vicious and desperate, just like the heroes of Liangshan, who do not have their own lives. They all have good martial arts skills, so about two hundred people swept the enemy.

When it comes to military command capabilities, Wang Lun was extremely poor. What is the purpose of fleeing south? The south was not affected by disasters, and there were not many followers, and sooner or later they would be destroyed. On the contrary, Zhang Hai later had a longer vision, bringing Guo Miaoshan, Dangjunzi, Fan San and other rebels together, and once had a huge momentum. If Wang Lun went west or north, with the help of the complex mountains in Shandong and the victims of the disaster, he might be able to hold on for a while. Once he fled to the south, he would be destined to be destined.

This is also the reason why Zheng Lang did not overestimate him.

It’s not that I don’t know anything, otherwise I wouldn’t have led the army here and have a good time.

When Wang Lun heard Zheng Lang lead his army in person, he was very scared. This person was a person who made the Western Xia Yuanhao cheat repeatedly. There were all kinds of strange rumors among the people, and he was very scared. However, when Zheng Lang only brought two hundred people over, his heart was slightly calmer. There were not many people, so there was no need to be afraid. But he was a little afraid and gathered a group of brothers under his command to discuss and said, "We cannot go to Hezhou, but to Chuzhou."

"Why to Chuzhou?"

"Chuzhou is full of mountains. The Song Dynasty sent a young master to come and led more than 200 cavalrymen. Fighting on the plains was not good for us. Only by entering the mountainous areas can we advance and retreat freely."

Everyone was confused about this, because they had no experience in fighting with cavalry before, so they agreed.

Wang Lun said again: "But there are more than 100 miles of roads from Baimatang to enter the mountainous area of ​​Chuzhou. We must put down our baggage, move forward lightly, and move forward overnight. In this way, at dawn, we can at least reach Chuzhou. When the news is fed back to the ears of the little husband, even if the cavalry has many ditches along the way, which affects their pursuit speed, we can enter the mountainous area calmly."

"What should I do if I eat?"

"There are many grain fields in Chuzhou. As long as the wealthy families enter Chuzhou's territory, what are the supplies they still worry about?" The rebel army stopped doing it and wanted to become the mountain king.

The others had no good idea. After discussing, they burned the baggage, but brought a lot of money. This one must not be burned. With the protection of the night, they ran westward.!~!
