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

After a while, everyone in the general's tent came to their senses, looked at each other, and shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"I thought the so-called rapid penetration tactics my father talked about could only be used in the north, but I didn't expect it could be accomplished in the south using water transport!"

Di Liang exclaimed and looked at his brother.

"My old master once said that our future battlefield would be in the north. I originally thought that coming to the south would just be a small fight, but it seems that there is really a lot to learn."

Di Zi took a deep breath and said to Han Ming.

"Although the Nong Zhigao Rebellion was nothing to Master Di, for us, these remnants are just a whetstone."

Han Ming sat back in his chair and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Then we really have to give it a good fight!" Zhong Zhen also has the blood of a military family flowing in his veins.

"Let those noble children in Bianjing City see the level of our military family!" Di Zi said with some interest.

Cai Ting couldn't stop smiling because he noticed something different.

That is, Han Ming today does not seem to have the prejudice against military generals that traditional literati of the Song Dynasty had. This is a good sign.

In the past, it was because Prime Minister Di met upright and unbiased civil officials such as Grand Tutor Pang, Fan Wencheng, and Grand Prime Minister Han that he was able to stand out from the ranks of military generals and rise step by step.

If I could join the team of this young Mr. Han, I might be able to make a name for myself in the future.

Cai Ting was still thinking about his future stance when Han Ming interrupted everyone's compliments and sighs.

"If there are no other questions, then you can go down and make preparations. Mr. Zhongzhen and Mr. Jiefu can stay for a while."

Han Ming opened a piece of Jiangxi intelligence in his hand and read it carefully.

"There's a problem!" Wang Jiefu was very straightforward.

"Speak!" Han Ming answered without raising his head.

"We are all leading the troops to carry out the raid. My lord, which way are you going south?!"

Wang Jiefu's words made many people's expressions change. They had just listened to Han Ming's passionate words and almost forgot how their immediate superior, the pacification envoy, was going to leave.

"I will lead a force myself, marching southwards from Ruyang via land, and enter the territory of the Xingguo Army."

The Xingguo Army that Han Ming mentioned was a military town under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan West Road, which was at the same level as a "state".

"You went directly to Jiangnan West Road?!" Zhongzhen stroked his chin and thought.

"Yes, not only must we march straight, but we must also march with great fanfare, raising both the general's flag and the military flag!"

Han Ming smiled strangely, and everyone immediately realized that he was preparing to "openly repair the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang"!

"But will there be a flaw in the number of troops?" Wang Jiefu considered the problem very comprehensively.

"The local soldiers can't just keep eating the imperial court's empty pay. 1,800 of them should be enough to wave the flags and cheer."

Good fellow! Han Ming didn't even let go of the local soldiers.

The Song Dynasty's garrison troops were ostensibly stationed in the prefectures and were called standing troops, but in reality they were miscellaneous troops from various prefectures and some central agencies.

To put it more simply, they are the logistics soldiers who do miscellaneous tasks.

"I'm afraid the local government won't be willing to give them up. After all, these are troops that can support local construction and maintain stability." Wang Jiefu came from the local area, so he naturally understood the twists and turns involved.

"Snapped!"

Han Ming said nothing and slammed the seal of the "Pacifier" and a bright yellow scroll of paper on the table.

"That's enough!" Although Han Ming had a harmless smile on his face at this moment, a chill slowly rose from everyone's spine.

"Since you are so confident, then I don't need to say much, but you should also consider your safety."

Wang Jiefu was sincere in helping Han Ming and even took his own safety into consideration.

"As long as two of you can complete the mission on time, the rebels will be frightened and their fighting spirit will vanish."

Han Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the document in his hand.

"But what if the other party is desperate?!" Wang Jiefu looked at Han Ming intently.

"Sir, do you think I'm just a weak scholar?" Han Ming looked at Wang Jiefu with an indifferent expression.

"You can ask these guys, how many of them can beat me?!"

"It's different. Killing the enemy in battle and fighting in a one-on-one duel are two different things!" Wang Jiefu was still insisting.

"That's what you mean, sir..." Han Ming didn't expect that Wang Jiefu, known as Mr. Banshan, would be so persistent.

"Follow one of our three groups and head south!" Wang Jiefu said in a firm tone.

The two looked at each other for a while. Han Ming sighed slightly and waved his hand, saying, "You go down and prepare the military supplies first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Jiefu and Zhongzhen."

Di Liang, Di Zi, and Cai Ting immediately saluted, left the general's tent, and began to work on their own plans.

"Please take a seat, both of you. I have actually been considering for a long time the idea of ​​me leading some of my troops south."

"Besides publicly delaying time and creating the illusion that we are slowly moving south, we also need to wait for some news to spread."

"One of them is the news that the imperial court has stopped the salt law reform. We need to spread this news together with Envoy Zeng Changping who is preparing to go north."

"If the news spreads quickly enough, the rebels under Hongzhou City will likely lose their morale and become internally divided."

"Not only did this allow us to effectively strike them, it also helped preserve my ostensibly anti-rebellion army amidst their internecine struggles."

"So, this is the reason why I dare to lead the army south alone."

Han Ming looked at Wang Jiefu and told him his plan.

"This..." Wang Jiefu realized that the seemingly most adventurous route was actually the safest.

"This is why I asked you two to stay." Han Ming handed the two documents to the other party.

"Due to time constraints, we tried to release some fake news as much as possible, but the truth must be determined by us."

"Your two tasks are to pretend that this document was accidentally leaked to the rebels outside Hongzhou City."

"The other one, I need to spread the word along the way so that everyone knows."

Han Ming smiled and handed the documents of "Suspension of Salt Law Reform" and "Rules of Recruitment" to Zhong Zhen and Wang Jiefu.

"As expected of you, you are the renowned young Han Xianggong of the capital. I am deeply impressed and will do my utmost to help you quell the rebellion."

Wang Jiefu finally saw the answer that satisfied him: a young man who was brave and resourceful, and who looked ten steps ahead.

"In that case, I'll entrust this task to you two." Han Ming clasped his fists and smiled.

Only Zhong Zhen looked at Han Ming with a strange expression and asked, "Sir, since the two of us are dealing with matters concerning the salt law and the recruitment of amnesty, you will not let Zeng Changping pass on the news of your demotion, right?!"

Han Ming laughed heartily, waved his sleeves, and walked out of the general's tent with his hands behind his back.

It seems like nothing was said, but in fact everything was said.

Zhong Zhen and Wang Jiefu exchanged glances, and Wang couldn't help but exclaim, "Has the envoy of appeasement always been such a sinister person who loves to kill people?!"

"No, I think he just has a bad taste and likes to be an outsider and watch the fun."

The corner of Zhongzhen's mouth twitched, and he secretly slandered in his heart, this guy has been like this since he was a child, digging a hole for others to fall into, and then he still wants to be thanked profusely.

Zeng Fengxian, this honest man, was simply used as a tool by Han Ming.

But you can't say anything to him. After all, Zeng was the prefect before, and now he is the director of grain prices. This is a promotion!

Is it so difficult to let him say a few words about himself and slander himself? !
