Chapter 475 Watching its advance and retreat
Loufan County, Jingle County.
Song Jingang was sitting in the house drinking, and a pheasant was roasting on the bonfire in front of him, and oil dripping was falling on the fire and making a sizzling sound.
Song Jingang's wife walked into the room, took off the pheasant from the bonfire, and added a bowl of wine to Song Jingang. Seeing that Song Jingang was still drinking, she was depressed and sighed with a sad face.
She was Liu Wuzhou's sister. Later, in order to win over Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou married his sister to him. Song Jingang divorced his original wife and changed her to his main wife.
At this time, the knock on the door sounded.
A soldier entered the inner world and said, "King of Song, there is an important military report."
"Come in." Song Jingang tore a piece of meat off the roast chicken and put it in his mouth and chew it.
The two generals were led into the house. Seeing that the wife was present, they wanted to speak but stopped. They turned to say hello and said, "The princess is here too!"
Song Jingang's wife understood and smiled and said, "You guys are busy, I still have something to do." After that, she walked into the room.
A general sat down and said to Song Jingang: "King Song, news is coming from the south."
Song Jingang glanced at him and said, "What's the hurry? Let's have a drink with me first."
The two generals looked at each other left and right, and Song Jingang took another bag of wine, took a sip of it himself, and handed it to the two generals.
The two generals drank it immediately and said, "Thank you for the wine from King Song."
Song Jingang looked at the two of them and sneered, "Thank you, why are we drunk now? We are also drunk today. What's up to him tomorrow."
A general took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "King Song, this time the Su Mansion of Taiyuan Prefecture wrote a letter in person. He said that he could make the decision for King Zhao and give the position of King Zhao. The Huya Lang General, and the two thousand troops under his subordinates were organized. This organization was not the Zhao Township soldiers, but the Da Zhao Mansion Army. The Da Zhao Mansion Army was not only well-equipped, but also the soldiers and soldiers were paid for military service. The brothers were eager to see him. King Song, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please consider it carefully."
Song Jingang's eyes narrowed, and he did not speak, but continued to drink.
Another general said, "King Song, it's not that we were wronged when we saw the benefits of Zhao. It's really that Yuan Junzhang was so bastard, and he had the support of the Turks. He then squeezed us out. After he threw away Yanmen, he sent someone to take over Mayi and Loufan counties, so he gave us a Jingle County, a place where birds do not shit. The brothers couldn't even drink a bowl of porridge, so there was no energy to fight."
"What's even more annoying is that since this spring, the Yuan surnamed has cut off our food and salary. Not to mention the brothers below, now even the generals are not full. People run away every day."
Song Jingang turned his eyes and said angrily: "You guys open your eyes and let someone run away."
The general called Qu Yan and said, "I can't control it. I killed people, and the others ran away and sent people to catch them. As a result, even the sent people ran away. There was no way."
When Song Jingang heard this, he threw his skin away and said, "Brothers, I have suffered with me, Song."
Both generals said aloud, and one general said, "King Song, this is an opportunity now. County Magistrate Su heard that this person is still very kind. He said that we are all from Zhao, so there is no need to fight each other. I wonder what King Song thinks?"
Song Jingang was silent for a while and said, "I will not hide it from the two brothers. The emperor died at the hands of Li Chongjiu. Back then, the emperor treated me as a mountain of kindness and appointed me as King of Song, almost on an equal footing with him. It would be fine if I didn't avenge him. Is it better to turn to serve Li Chongjiu and be ridiculed by the people of the world?"
Another general said, "The emperor was defeated by Yanmen because he did not have the luck to unify the world. On the contrary, Li Chongjiu was strong in Youzhou and had the momentum to unify Hebei. It is not impossible for him to fight with Li Tang in the future. Why should the King of Song still guard this? Now the brothers have nothing to eat. What kind of righteousness or not, go there."
Song Jingang looked up at the inner room and drooped his head.
A general guessed Song Jingang’s thoughts and said, “King Song, I heard that someone in the past called Wu Qi, killed his wife, but ended up getting rich. What is the wife? A woman is like a torn dress and then changed. What a real man wants to be proud of himself.”
Another general said more bluntly, saying, "Yes, if King Song can't do it, I'll do it for you. King Song must not hesitate. Liu Wuzhou died at the hands of Li Chongjiu. How could Li Chongjiu allow his sister to marry Liu Wuzhou's general? If he doesn't kill the queen, how could he win the trust of Li Chongjiu?"
Song Jingang glared at him and said, "What are you talking about?"
The two generals drooped their heads after hearing this.
At this moment, a sudden sound was heard in the room. Song Jingang and the two generals were both shocked. Their conspiracy was a secret matter, and it would be a bad thing if someone heard it.
Song Jingang immediately drew his sword from the wall, then strode forward and kicked open the door.
Song Jingang saw his wife fall to the ground and look at him in horror. The two generals behind him changed their expressions and exclaimed, "Queen."
Song Jingang and his wife looked at each other, and their wife suddenly covered her face and cried, saying, "Do you want to follow Wu Qi?"
Song Jingang's face changed, and the two generals behind him thought that they had become evil wife and would not be able to keep her in the future. They said immediately: "King Song, you must not be kind to a woman."
Song Jingang's wife was crying, and the two generals were also ready to move, one of whom reached out to press the sword on his waist.
"Enough," Song Jingang raised his sword at this time and shouted loudly: "No need to say anything more, I will surrender to Zhao, but I will not kill my wife. Whether King Zhao can tolerate me or not, let him go."
The two generals looked at each other.
Song Jingang turned around and shouted, "What are you still thinking?"
The two generals agreed to retreat together.
Song Jingang stepped forward and helped his wife up and said, "I'm scared."
His wife looked at Song Jingang and sighed quietly, saying, "Husband, thank you for your mercy. If you want to join Li Chongjiu, just go there. I will never say anything."
After saying that, his wife looked at Song Jingang's blade and hit her body forward.
The tip of the knife penetrated his wife's body, and Song Jingang was shocked and looked at his wife, but saw that although the other party was in pain, he had a smile on his face.
Song Jingang immediately hugged his wife's body and cried to the sky.
The next day, Song Jingang led more than 2,000 troops to announce the change of flags in Jingle County, Loufan County, and switch to Zhao State.
Su Su immediately sent general Xue Wanjun to lead 3,000 troops to take over Jingle County, while Song Jingang led 2,000 troops to Jinyang to accept the adaptation of the Zhao army.
Su Su wrote a letter to Li Chongjiu as Gao Chu and Li Wei and made a letter to Li Chongjiu, and at the same time asked Li Chongjiu to issue a letter to grant Song Jingang the general of Huya Lang, and reorganized his troops into a government army.
The fact that Song Jingang was sent to the Secretariat was not yet arrived in the Secretariat with Su Su's letter, but there was a memorial written by the censors and officials from Yanmen and Taiyuan, and were handed over to the Secretariat like snowflakes.
At the end of June, the sun was already scorching in Youjing.
The Secretariat of the Great Zhao State was located in the outer hall of Linshuo Palace, which was opposite to the Secretariat of the Secretariat, one left and one right. These two halls were the center of the State of Zhao State. At this time, the eunuchs carried a bowl of drinks and brought them to the room, giving each official in each office a bowl.
This drink is made of medicinal and fruits, which relieves heat and thirst, and has become a popular drink in Youjing.
The officials took off their clothes, drank drinks, and relieved the heat. An official next to them said, "This matter is difficult to deal with. Originally, it was a happy event for Song Jingang to serve, but the censors said that he killed his wife and asked for generals, which was a cruel and willing to kill. Such people should be dismissed by the generals."
The official said, "But it's not good. Su Fujun has promised him before. Replying to his senses is not a act of no faith."
All the officials each had their own opinions.
At this time, someone looked at Zhao Xin, the servant of the Secretariat, and asked, "Zhao Sheren, you have always been very insightful, so why not give it a comment."
Zhao Xin smiled slightly. Since he was promoted to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, he handled government affairs well and had a very skillful relationship. In addition, his father, Zhao Heran, the Minister of Works, and his aristocratic family, were highly appreciated in the Secretariat.
Seeing someone asking questions, Zhao Xin said, "The Su Mansion Lord has no need to make a decision on behalf of the King. The King has not agreed yet. It is the Su Mansion Lord who goes against his word. Besides, the so-called trustworthiness should not be discussed with those who believe? How can such a person without trust and unrighteousness tell him about his faithfulness?"
After Zhao Xin finished speaking, the officials nodded unanimously and started to discuss the matter again.
At this time, there was only a cough, and the door curtain was raised. Everyone saw that it was Xue Wanshu, the Minister of the Secretariat, and immediately stopped talking and buried their heads on the desk.
Xue Wanshu walked around the house with his hands behind his back and asked, "Prime Minister Wen has spoken, asking about the censors' impeachment of Song Jingang. Our Secretariat has an argument, what are you doing?"
At that time, an official from the Secretariat described what Zhao Xin had just said to Xue Wanshu. Xue Wanshu nodded and said, "Just use this to attach the opinions of our Secretariat before the memorial of the Censor, and Prime Minister Wen will submit them to the king in person."
"promise."
Soon the memorial was sent to Wen Yanbo's desk by officials from the Secretariat.
Wen Yanbo read the memorial and polished his words with several important memorials that had been discussed long ago. He then strode to Li Chongjiu's study.
In the study, Wen Yanbo delivered the memorial. Li Chongjiu spread the memorial and read the opinions on the Secretariat first. He asked, "Wen Yanbo, then the opinions of the Secretariat are to dismiss Song Jingang from his military position and never hire him."
Li Chongjiu said, "Song King Kong was greedy for fame and fortune, and did not hesitate to destroy his integrity. However, in terms of military use, it is indeed a talent. At present, Zhao, except Xu and Xue, two generals, may no one compare to Song Kingang. The world is in chaos, and it is a pity to use people to use talents but not to use virtue.
Wen Yanbo said, "But if you use it, I'm afraid the officials will no longer be able to follow the ethics."
Li Chongjiu said, "Well, then the cold Song King Kong should first observe his advance and retreat. If he is resentful, it is better not to use it. If he can follow it, it will not be too late to use it in the future."
