After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

"It's still not appropriate." Cai Ting, who had just been praised by Han Ming, looked around awkwardly and put forward his own thoughts.

"Speak!" Han Ming was not angry. By gathering everyone's wisdom and discussing all the problems bit by bit, they could know whether this raid would work or not.

"I'm familiar with the local situation." Cai Ting said directly without any suspense.

"After all, this is our first time going to Jiangnan West Road. The local situation is so complicated that we are completely in the dark."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Cai Ting's explanation on this issue, and then everyone turned their attention to Han Ming, who was sitting in the first seat.

"Hahaha, I guessed you would ask this. Come, please invite Mr. Banshan into the tent."

Han Ming laughed out loud and asked someone to summon this 'Mr. Banshan'.

Everyone looked at Han Ming in confusion, wondering what the young appeasement envoy was planning.

In a moment, a white-faced man in casual clothes lifted the curtain. The man had a broad forehead, a square face, and three long wisps of beard on his lips and chin.

Although he doesn't look particularly handsome, he is very heroic and gives people a sense of integrity, heroism and extraordinary demeanor.

When they saw the newcomer, all the generals in the tent were a little confused. Only Zhong Zhen and Cai Ting looked at each other, as if they recognized who the newcomer was.

"This is Wang Jiefu, Mr. Banshan. The true number one scholar in the second year of the Qingli reign!"

"He served as the judge of Huainan Jiedu, the judge of Yangzhou, the magistrate of Yin County, the judge of Shuzhou, the judge of Qunmu, and the magistrate of Changzhou."

"I just recently went to the capital to report on my work and was transferred to the position of judge of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Of course, the most important thing is that Mr. Banshan is from Linchuan County, Fuzhou!"

The more Han Ming spoke, the more he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He never thought that he could catch this powerful figure in his hands. You can imagine how excited he was.

The Di Liang brothers didn't know much about Wang Jiefu, but they heard an important piece of information: this gentleman was from Fuzhou in Jiangnan West Road.

And this is exactly the answer to their previous question. Han Ming has even found a local guide, so this battle will be much easier.

On the other side, Zhong Zhen and Cai Ting are very different. One of them comes from a family of military generals, and the other is a military general himself, but he happens to be a military general with a literary air.

The name of this "Mr. Banshan" is well-known.

"I didn't expect to see you here, sir. I'm so grateful for your consultation!"

"My name is Cai Ting, nice to meet you, sir!"

Zhong Zhen and Cai Ting immediately stood up to greet him, showing great respect.

"You two are too polite. This time, I am being asked by the pacification envoy Han to help the imperial army suppress the rebellion. Jiangnan West Road is also my hometown, so I will lend a helping hand."

Wang Jiefu is now 37 years old, but he does not look like a seasoned official at all. He is still full of vigor, ideals and ambitions.

"I believe that with your help, the rebellion will be put down smoothly!" Zhong Zhen really respected Wang Jiefu and even had a feeling of being a little fan of him.

"Please take a seat, sir!" Han Ming also treated him with great courtesy and ordered his men to arrange a seat.

"Thank you, Pacifier!" Wang Jiefu clasped his fists and bowed, then walked to the seat in the front and sat down.

"Huh?" Cai Ting, who had come to his senses at this moment, was a little puzzled. He clasped his fists and saluted and asked, "Sir, since Mr. Wang has been transferred to the capital as the judge of the Ministry of Revenue, why is he with us..."

Everyone also had this question. After all, among them, the Di Liang brothers had the support of their father and held idle positions in the army.

Cai Ting was reinstated, while Zeng Fengxian, the former Lianzhou prefect who had not yet joined them, was transferred. He was a nobody among the officials in Beijing.

So when Han Ming directly asked for the person, Emperor Renzong released him without caring much.

But Wang Jiefu was different. He was a scholar with an official title and was well-known both locally and centrally.

How could the government let Han Ming be the guide of the Pacifier of Jiangnan West Road?

Everyone didn't understand and looked at Han Ming and Wang Jiefu.

"You may not know this, but when I was looking for a guide to Jiangxi, I happened to meet Mr. Jiefu. He is not only from Fuzhou, but he also knows the entire Jiangxi geography well."

"I made my plea, and he immediately decided to help us with all his might. Unfortunately, the government refused to release me, so Mr. Jiefu resigned from his post, took off his official uniform, and followed us south."

After hearing Han Ming's story, everyone couldn't help but feel admiration.

You have to know that all the officials of the Song Dynasty were trying their best to get into the city of Bianliang, but Wang Jiefu resolutely chose to resign and follow the army south.

This sentiment is rare in the world.

"The pacification envoy has gone too far!" Wang Jiefu immediately bowed and said modestly.

"Alright, we're all family, so I won't bother with any of that nonsense. I just want to ask, can we fight this southward raid?!"

Hearing Han Ming ask this question again, everyone smiled knowingly and saluted.

"Can fight!"

Looking at everyone's excited expressions, Han Ming also took a deep breath and suppressed his boiling heart.

“Since you can fight…” Han Ming’s tone sank, and he shouted coldly: “Di Liang!”

"I am here!" Di Liang suddenly stood up and saluted with his fists clasped.

"This pacification mission orders you to lead your troops south along the Ru River into the Huai River basin, then pass through the areas of Guangzhou and Huangzhou, and enter the Yangtze River via the Qiting River."

"Remember, don't go directly into the southern part of Jiangxi. Go down the Yangtze River to Jiangzhou, then go ashore via the Nankang Army and go straight to Hongzhou."

"Surround the main force of the rebels!"

Han Ming pointed at the military deployment map, and finally put his fingers together and poked hard at the point of Hongzhou, the capital of Jiangnan West Road.

"Yes!" Di Liang stepped forward and took the token representing the military order.

"Mr. Jiefu!" Han Ming's eyes swept over Wang Jiefu who was sitting upright.

"Please speak, sir!" Wang Jiefu stood up immediately.

"I will immediately appoint you as the deputy general under the Jiangnan West Road Pacification Commissioner's Office as my assistant. You will also accompany Di Liang's army to carry out the surprise attack plan!"

"Yes!" Wang Jiefu bowed.

"Di Zi!"

"I am here!" Di Zi's eyes were bright and he looked at Han Ming closely.

"After you split your forces from Ruyang, head south along the Zhenyang line. At Xinxi, transfer to a boat and take the Zhugan River and Dawu River to enter the northern Jinghu Road."

"Then we will follow Anzhou and Hanchuan Army, arrive at Tongcheng in Ezhou, and then turn eastward along Xiushui, capture Fenning and Wuning, and block the rebels' escape route to the west."

Han Ming kept observing the map, and countermeasures emerged in his mind.

He is now mobilizing all the military strategies and tactics he has learned since childhood. After all, this is his first time commanding the suppression of a rebellion, so he must be extremely careful.

As a result, he thought he was being cautious, but in reality, he displayed all the means and strategies of the attacker. This completely contradictory behavior appeared in Han Ming alone.

"Yes!" Di Zi stared at the marching route drawn by Han Ming with burning eyes.

"Seed diagnosis!"

"exist!"

In fact, the diagnostician was also a laborer recruited by Han Ming, because he needed his experience from studying in the north and south roads of Jinghu to guide the army.

Of course, Zhong Zhen now has considerable military experience, thanks to the guidance of his two good brothers, Zhong Gu and Zhong E.

"I now appoint you as a lieutenant general under the Jiangnan West Road Pacification Commissioner. Act as Di Zi's guide in Jinghu North Road and lead the troops safely to the destination."

Han Ming spoke very quickly.

"Yes!" Zhong Zhen clasped his fists and accepted the order.

"Cai Ting!"

"The general is here!"

"As the Chief of Criminal Justice, you are my equal, but His Majesty has ordered that all matters at the front line be handled by me, so I am sorry to have to inconvenience you."

Han Ming smiled slightly and nodded at him to express his apology.

"My Lord, please do not say that. If it were not for your support, I would not know where to stop my job. If you have any instructions, I will do them without hesitation!"

Cai Ting answered sincerely with a fist clasped. After all, he really felt that Han Ming had been very kind to him.

"Okay, then I will hand over the good horses in the army to you first." When Han Ming said this, everyone frowned, not understanding what he meant.

"Listen to me first. I'm giving you the best horse in the army not for any other reason, but because I need you to make great efforts to lead the army south to block the enemy's retreat."

Everyone looked at Han Ming in horror.

"The pacification envoy wants to decide the outcome of the battle?!" Wang Jiefu found it difficult to accept.

"People in Jiangnan West Road are suffering greatly right now. If we don't put down the rebellion soon, the common people will suffer."

"If we fail to quell the rebellion quickly, the refugees will gather in ever-increasing numbers and eventually eat us to death."

"We don't have that much time to waste. As long as we can wipe out the rebels under Hongzhou City, we can spread the word and take over other places!"

"With the upcoming salt law reform, our situation is very unfavorable. We must rely on this battle to completely resolve the rebellion and quickly pacify the local area."

Han Ming's explanation made everyone feel a sense of urgency, as if some special force was chasing him.

"Your mission is arduous. I need you to sail and march quickly, along with Di Zi and the others, south to join the division at Xiushui."

"Follow the Wuning River, cross the Badie Mountain, go straight to Xinchang and Shanggao, then go from Jinshui through Yunzhou to Fengcheng!"

"In the end, we stayed like a nail in Fengcheng, preventing the main force of the rebels from moving south!"

Han Ming took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

Everyone at the scene stood there speechless, and the huge tent fell into dead silence...
