Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 439 The Fifth Top Chair

Not far away, Baisha Town is located on the main road going south from Luoyang, where merchants gather.Surrounded by low mountains and hills, many sheep are raised, and they have the ability to cook mutton soup with one hand.At the beginning of the year, Wang Xiaohun garrisoned in Yique, specially learned the technique of making soup, and promoted it to the army.With this relationship, there are a lot of mutton soup restaurants opened in nearby counties this year.Yingyang is near Baisha, and there are three most prosperous downtowns.

Ding Jin did not prepare a place for Yu Huan.After leaving the county government, Yu Huan found an inn nearby to stay.Seeing that it was almost noon, Wang Gan and Wang Gan found a mutton soup restaurant, where they burned three fires and sat there to drink soup.

After drinking for a while, I ate a fire.Wang dared to say: "Controlling, looking at that guy Ding Jin's appearance, I'm afraid it's hard to talk about it."

Yu Huan said: "It's difficult. That guy actually asked him which position he was in. Is this what he should ask? Since Zhenfu raised his army, he has never done this kind of business in the rivers and lakes. Where did he get the position? !"

Wang Gan nodded.Break up the fire petals and soak them in the soup.Said: "Time waits for no one. In a few days, the wheat should be harvested. When it's hot, the Jurchens hide in the north to escape the heat, and it's time to transport grain to Hedong Road."

Yu Huan thought about it.Cai said: "Zhang Jun asked you to come with me, you must have your own way. Talk about it, let's discuss it."

Wang dared to say: "I listened to what Zhang Tongzhi said. If Ding Jin said nothing, then he had to change someone else. Originally, I thought that Luan Qingshan was very important under Ding Jin, so he should have a high status. If Ding Jin disagreed, then he would Change to Luan Qingshan. But when I entered the county office today, I realized that there is no seat for Luan Qingshan."

Yu Huan said: "These people in the Jianghu place a lot of importance on their seats. We look at the top seats in the hall as a joke, but we don't know that in the eyes of Ding Jin and others, they are great. The people sitting today are all the first to follow Ding Jin. Several leaders came in. Luan Qingshan is new, no matter how important he is, there is no place for him in the top chair. Hmph, I think back then, when I was under Ding Jin, I was shy and there was no place for me."

Wang Gan was stunned for a moment.They served as soldiers under Wang Xiaohun, and there were no such rules.What kind of position, what kind of power, everything is in order.What number one position sounds like a joke.I didn't expect Ding Jin to come here and have this rule.

Yu Huan said: "For an army like Ding Jin, even if Ding Jin is gone, it will not be Luan Qingshan's turn to be the leader. If he is forced to help him up, his subordinates will not accept him, and they will definitely be scattered. The one who can succeed Ding Jin can only be someone in the top position. .”

Wang Gan nodded his head, only to realize that his previous thinking was simple.

Yu Huan said: "Let's stay here for a few days to check the situation. Ding Jin is disappointed in us, so he should talk to Liu Yu. Although Ding Jin looks tired, it's impossible for everyone under him to be like that. He wants to join the puppet Qi , there must be dissatisfaction among the subordinates."

The world's bandits, at the beginning, not many wanted to invest in gold or fake money.Most of them gradually changed their minds over time and various factors superimposed.At this time, Zhao Gou didn't pay much attention to these people and regarded them as bandits.Only when it cannot be eradicated, and there is no other way, will the status of some people be recognized.As long as the court has the ability, these people will either hand over their military power or be wiped out.What Zhao Gou values ​​most is who owns the military power.To be honest, as long as he surrendered his military power, Zhao Gou was not mean to these leaders.

The leader of the bandits, partly handed over his military power, and became a peaceful nobleman with peace of mind.Either be wiped out, or vote for Liu Yu.

Wang Xiaolie understood this, so he didn't want to annex Ding Jin, but just wanted to maintain a good relationship and be able to use his territory.But for Ding Jin, surrounded by big forces, the room for turning around has disappeared, and he has no chance to become a grass-headed king.

In the county government office, Ding Jin sat on the top chair and said to Ma Xi, Peng Tan and Shi Jian: "Wang Xiaolie sent people here. I thought he wanted to annex our army territory like Li Jinglue who annexed Guozhou. .Li Jinglue is in the second place in the Wang Xiaohunting Army. Even though I was worse in the past, I still want to take the third or fourth place. Brothers are still happy. Who would have thought that this guy just wanted to excuse us, and we have no benefit at all. !"

Ma Xi said: "Borrowing our way will definitely benefit us. Wang Xiaolie transports grain and grass to Hedong Road. We charge [-]% to [-]% as travel expenses. Isn't it too much? If so, this business can also be done."

Ding Jin said: "Brother, today is not as good as yesterday, and the benefits are not easy to enjoy. Wang Xiao hunted hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and defeated several golden men, how can we still have us in his eyes? The nearby Ruzhou alone has an army of [-]. If one is bad, if you attack us with troops, who can stop him? How can Wang Xiaolie give you [-]% of the benefits? If you want to satisfy him, we can only suffer!"

Peng Tan said, "According to what the Taiwei saw, what should we do now?"

Ding Jin said: "It is difficult to defend Mount Song with our two or three thousand soldiers and horses alone. We must rely on powerful forces to settle here. From the looks of the surrounding forces, the emperor of Qi in the north is the most generous. !"

Shi Jian's face changed when he heard this: "Puppet Qi is the puppet of the gold thief! If you vote for him, how will you see your ancestors after a hundred years!"

Ding Jin said: "Brother, the most important thing now is how to survive. If you can't survive, you don't have to wait a hundred years. Now you have to meet your ancestors. I heard people say that if you vote for Qi, they don't want you , still as comfortable as before. Give you an official job, give you money to spend, is there anything better than this in the world? You don’t need to say more, tomorrow I will let Jiang Xianggong from Qi State go to Yingyang. Let Yu Huan Let's take a look, Wang Xiaolie doesn't think highly of us, but there are others who think highly of us!"

When Shi Jian heard this, he couldn't help but stare angrily, and kept silent in anger.

Ma Xi and Peng Tan smiled and watched without speaking.I have heard people say that Liu Yu is much more generous than Zhao Gou.If you vote for him, not only will you be a high official, but you will also have enough power.

Liu Yu was really generous about demoting officials and generals.Not only are high-ranking officials appointed, but the most important thing is trust and real power.Power factions like Ding Jin, under normal circumstances, still let them lead the troops.Cast under Liu Yu's tent, there are still soldiers and territories.

Historically, most of the heroes along Jingxi Road, except Zhai Xing and a few others, surrendered to the puppet Qi, including Niu Gao and Dong Xian.When Yue Fei captured Xiangyang in the Northern Expedition, some talents returned to the Song Dynasty.Now that Wang Xiaolie is in Xiangyang, these people will be different if they have support.

Ding Jin said: "That guy Yu Huan is shameless, if he doesn't take the fifth position, then forget it. Luan Qingshan has really made a lot of contributions since he joined me. He is also loyal and reliable. According to my opinion, the fifth Let him take the top spot. The five of us, if you show Jiang Xianggong, we are also strong and strong, and there are only benefits. What do you think?"

Ma Xi said: "Everything is up to my brother's orders."

Peng Tan also had no objection.Shi Jian was just furious, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Ding Jin didn't bother to pay attention to Shi Jian, and immediately settled down.Luan Qingshan is his confidant, and having him take the fifth position can strengthen his influence in the army.If you vote for a false one, you will need the help of your subordinates even more.

Everything was settled, Ding Jin ordered them to disperse.Asking Jiang Yi to come to Yingyang to talk, Ding Jin wanted to let the puppet Qi understand that he had other places to go, and he could get more benefits.To be a traitor is of course to be a high-ranking official.
