Zhang Shixun, a music major graduate, transmigrated to the Great Song Dynasty. Relying on his golden finger and superb talent, he rose rapidly in the capital. Gao Yan Nei became his follower; Li Sh...
Zhang Shixun called the two out, seemingly unintentionally, but actually on purpose.
The main purpose was to let Yue Fei know what the emperor was.
You have to say it in a very obscure way so that he can accept it. If you directly scold the emperor for being a bad person, Yue Fei will definitely be angry with you.
Yue Fei was definitely a loyal and patriotic person, but he was not blindly loyal.
Historically, after Yue Fei saw Song Gaozong's policy of peace with the barbarians, he wrote a letter directly to scold the emperor just to consolidate his own position, fearing that his father would return to his country.
After Zhang Shixun returned to the military tent, Han Shizhong followed him in.
"Why are you here again?"
"I have another question, I'll leave after I ask it."
"Ask quickly, I have something else to do."
Han Shizhong sat down, picked up Zhang Shixun's teacup and drank it in one gulp.
"We've been following Heavenly King Yang for over half a month, and we haven't killed a single bandit yet. Why is that?"
Zhang Shixun knew he would ask this question sooner or later, so he smiled and asked, "Uncle, have you ever thought about how I was ruthless when I wiped out the Toushouhua gang of bandits?"
Han Shizhong nodded and said, "That battle was a thrilling one. Except for Toushouhua, the rest were killed without a single one left alive. Haha! I'm sure Toushouhua's head has already been chopped off."
"Have you figured out the reason?"
"Tou Shouli committed many evil deeds and harmed the people, so he must be killed without mercy."
Han Shizhong suddenly understood something when he said this. "Shixun, the reason you didn't kill Heavenly King Yang is because he didn't cause much harm to the people?"
"That's right." Zhang Shixun snatched his teacup and poured himself a cup of tea. As he drank, he said, "Yang Tianwang has been restraining his troops along the way, not killing people or setting fires. Why should I kill him?"
"He robbed many wealthy people and even burned their property deeds."
"You haven't even mentioned him opening the granaries to distribute food. Those starving people are so welcoming. Otherwise, how could his army have grown so large?"
Han Shizhong looked at him thoughtfully and didn't speak for a long time.
Zhang Shixun felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him and asked, "Why are you silent?"
Han Shizhong said, "Tell me the truth, have you got Yang Tianwang under your control?"
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Uncle, stop talking like that."
Zhang Shixun neither admitted nor denied it.
Han Shizhong already knew what was going on. He stood up and walked out. "Okay! I've asked everything I wanted to ask. I'm leaving now."
After he left, Zhang Shixun found He Ji again and said, "Old He, report Yue Fei's heroic deeds of breaking into Yang Tianwang's lair to the court. Also, ask the court whether it will allow Yang Tianwang to be recruited."
He Ji said dissatisfiedly: "You should find someone to do the paperwork instead of always asking me to write this and that."
"Thank you for your hard work, Old He." Zhang Shixun patted his shoulder. "Once I'm done with this, I'll find a clerk."
"All right."
Zhang Shixun returned to his military tent and contacted Gao Yanei, "Yanei, you're not planning on coming back once you get back to the capital?"
"It's not easy for you to come here, let me stay for two more days." Gao Yanei said, breathing heavily.
Zhang Shixun asked him, "What are you doing? Why are you panting so hard?"
"This...I'm plowing the land?"
"Farmland?" Zhang Shixun was even more puzzled. "Where is the farmland?"
"On my wife's body."
Depend on!
If Gao Yanei wasn't ridiculous for indulging in addiction in broad daylight, he wouldn't be Gao Yanei.
"Brother, what do you want from me?"
"Let's contact each other again after you finish plowing the land."
"The plowing is done, and the sowing is done."
"It was pretty fast."
"Brother, are you praising me or insulting me?"
"That was just a casual remark. I wasn't praising you, nor was I insulting you... Okay! Let's get down to business. I recently recruited a warrior, and to test his bravery, I sent him to try to persuade Heavenly King Yang to surrender. He single-handedly charged into Heavenly King Yang's lair, slaughtering the entire place until the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light. Finally, he reached Heavenly King Yang and, with lightning speed, shot him in the throat..."
"Ah! He killed Heavenly King Yang?"
“No!”
"Why didn't you kill him?"
"Didn't I just say that? We sent him to persuade Heavenly King Yang to surrender, not to kill him."
"This guy is amazing. When I get back, I must get to know him."
"Yanei, while you are in the capital, please help me get him an official position."
"What kind of position do you want to give him?"
Zhang Shixun didn't even think about it and said casually, "Commander-in-chief, or at least deputy commander-in-chief."
"This... I'll give it a try. It might be a little difficult."
"You must take this seriously. Don't be stingy when you need to spend money. I will return it all to you later."
"Talking about money makes you look mean."
Zhang Shixun told him Yue Fei's name, age and hometown.
Finally, he instructed Gao Yanei to pay close attention to the developments in the court and tell him as soon as there was any news.
"Speaking of the court's movements, brother, those ministers have submitted petitions one after another, impeaching you for failing to suppress the bandits and deliberately condoning Heavenly King Yang."
"What's the official reaction?"
"You kept it in the palace and didn't send it out. It was suppressed by the government. The government has been very kind to you."
"The government has been very kind to me. As long as I'm out there suppressing bandits for eight or ten years, he'll tolerate me."
Gao Yanei was not stupid. He could hear the sarcasm in Zhang Shixun's words, and he also knew a little about the emperor's attitude towards Zhang Shixun.
He turned a deaf ear to this issue.
What does a little kid like him have to do with the fight between gods?
"Yanei, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do a few days ago?"
"What's up?"
"Someone is causing trouble in the Lotus Pavilion."
"Oh! I've looked into the matter you mentioned. It was that thief Guo Jing who was behind it."
"Guo Jing?" Zhang Shixun felt that the name sounded familiar.
"He's a soldier in the Dragon Guard under the Palace Front Department."
"Can a soldier have such ability?"
"Don't underestimate this man. Although he's just a soldier, he's quite capable. He knows magic, is sociable, and has a wide range of friends..."
Zhang Shixun opened the smart system and said, "Xiaomei, check Guo Jing for me."
"The History of the Song Dynasty records that when the Jin army was besieging the city, Sun Fushu, the Minister of War, read a poem that mentioned the names Guo Jing, Yang Shi, and Liu Wuji. He then searched for these three men, finding Liu Wuji among the people in the market and Guo Jing among the Dragon Guards. Rumor had it that Guo Jing could perform the Six Jia method, which could capture two Jin generals alive and completely wipe out the enemy. This method required 7,777 men. The court, convinced of this, appointed him to an official position, gave him tens of thousands of gold and silk, and ordered him to recruit his own soldiers. Regardless of their skill, they only selected those whose birth years matched the Six Jia. They recruited only idlers from the market, and could finish off the troops in ten days."
"On Bingchen, the evil man Guo Jing used the Six Jia method to force all defenders to leave the city. He then opened the Xuanhua Gate and attacked the Jin army, but was defeated. Jing used the excuse of going down to perform a ritual to lead the remaining soldiers away. The Jin soldiers ascended the city, but were completely defeated."
It is clear that Guo Jing is the culprit who caused the city gate to be lost when the Jin soldiers attacked the city.
