Chapter 20: Ordered in Danger.

Later, when more detailed battle reports were transmitted to all parts of the mainland, everyone realized how terrifying this young man's military talent was, and it can be said that without his mysterious command, the Chu State would not have been able to attack the hinterland of the Song State so quickly. Several of these siege battles shocked everyone. Because Feng Xiaotian can always find the defensive loopholes of the city and then quickly attack and take the city, so the military strategists of various countries have speculated. Feng Xiaotian must have buried a good detail in the Song Kingdom, and the level is not bottom.

This made the already nervous Song State even more panicked, so a campaign to catch the traitor broke out in the country. However, many corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been found after investigation, but the traitors have not yet been caught. At this moment, the Song Kingdom, which was already brilliant, became more dangerous because some high-level personnel were exposed to have a black history.

After that, the people began to boycott the Song court under the instigation of well-intentioned people, and the high-level personnel had no intention of ruling the government because their own interests were damaged, and they thought about how to withdraw the relationship every day. As for the new king, not only did not stop it, but was happy to see it happen. Every day all the ministers slapped his ass in a different way, so that the new king would let them go.

But the king wanted to call this opportunity to attack dissidents and win over people's hearts, so as to weaken the power of those princes and strengthen the royal power. For a while, no one has solved the work of pacifying the people. At this time, those celebrities who Feng Xiaotian worked hard to accompany began to play a role, they did not come forward directly, but secretly released remote words to people, saying bad things about high-level officials, and there were also some evidence they collected, and then exaggerated with oil and vinegar, find one

Some people to post it out.

Because of the economic benefits they bring, they are deeply loved by the executives. And they are all handsome men and beautiful women, those high-level old perverts can bear it, three glasses of wine down, plus the warm fragrance of nephrite jade of beautiful women, then what should be said and what should not be said is said, so when these "evidence" are placed in front of the people, the people are completely disappointed in the high-level, and the government affairs in various places cannot be implemented, including taxes and military rations. Most of the officials in various localities took one measure against this matter, that is, violence, and fierce clashes broke out between the officers and soldiers and the common people in various places.

But the people have the professionalism of the officers and soldiers, a few people were killed, most of them are timid, they are scared when they see their lives, and they are honest, but violence is addictive, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to be too presumptuous before, because the country is peaceful, there is no major event, so there is less oil and water, even if there is, they can only sneak around and dare not be too loud, but now they have a good excuse that is the chaos and spies, to see who has money, they will go directly to the door, as long as they dare not give, they will buckle him with a big hat of spies, and the light will be raided, and the heavy ones will be directly copied and beheaded without leaving one, and they will rob them directly when they see a beautiful woman, whoever dared to resist was directly killed for the crime of rioting the people, which made the people even more angry, so a stronger resistance broke out, and a more intense repression began, thus forming a vicious circle.

But all these crises were stopped by the officials below, and there was no intention of reporting them, and if they did, they would have no oil or water to fish. After the robbery, the officers and soldiers below will always find a way to bribe the upper ones and give them some benefits, whether they are gold, silver, jewelry, or stunning beauties. So for their own interests, they all chose to remain silent.

Secondly, the past few days have also been very busy, and in order to clear their names, high-level officials began to use a lot of money to deal with the internal prisons in the palace. Niangniang and other people close to the king ignored the rebellion of the people below, and instead asked the officials below to pay tribute to themselves to meet their own expenses and daily expenses, so that some officials with justice in their hearts were disappointed and wanted to do their best for the country. However, the top level of the state only wants to be greedy for money. Is such a country really worth paying wholeheartedly? So they resigned one after another, and their departure further encouraged the momentum of the corrupt officials, and the movement of selling official positions came into being. And they will become the confidants of this official, and the high-level officials will not only get money but also expand their power, so why not?

Let's say that the internal crisis of the Song Kingdom is full of dangers, and in the fortress of Shenmen in the first line of heaven, everyone is also sad, and the old general of the first war has made several sneak attacks, but the soldiers have been lost and the generals have returned in vain. After that, the grain and grass in the army had already begun to be in crisis, and there was only about fifteen days of food left, and besides, there seemed to be a big spy in the army, otherwise how could the battle plan he had drawn up be seen through again and again?

These things add up to make the old general worried, and a letter urging food is sent every day. However, the officials above minimized the shortage of food, making the king think that the matter was not so serious, but they exaggerated the report of the old general's repeated defeats. This made the new king, who had just had a good impression of him, instantly disappointed. It is even necessary to consider whether to replace the veteran general with another person.

The king was very dissatisfied with the battle ahead, and he was unhappy that the corrupt officials had seized an opportunity, and they all wanted to call it an opportunity to ask for merit from above, so as to offset the adverse effects of this incident. In their opinion, the Shenmen Fortress is foolproof, as long as people with a little brain, they can lose it. And there was no danger, so they made suggestions to the king, asking the king to order the old generals to take the initiative to go out of the city and defeat the enemy army, so as to prolong the prestige of the Song Kingdom.

Moreover, they have a clear reason for supervising the war, that is, the number of people, the 800,000 army of the Song State has been on standby near the Shenmen Fortress after a few days of gathering, while the Chu State is only 300,000, which is more than twice as much as the enemy army, as long as the battle is played, it is a sure victory, but the old general only sneaked up a few times, and then there was no action. How can this not make people suspicious, the new king does not understand the art of war, it sounds reasonable, plus the previous festival, he is a prince, he actually wants to call him a courtier to be a father-in-law, and when he is angry, he orders someone to give an order. Order the veteran general to conquer the enemy within ten days, if it is overdue and cannot be completed, he will have to be replaced by someone to replace him, and it is taboo to change generals before the battle.

But the king didn't care about that, and besides, he also wanted the old generals to come back and stabilize the situation. Because of him, a series of policies on his side can be implemented, and those princes who are not satisfied with him will be much more honest. So this order was given after careful consideration.

It is said that the old general was also very depressed after receiving the holy decree, and at this time, a twenty-year-old watchman next to him said: "Grandpa, the king gave such an order, and he deliberately embarrassed you?"

"Go to the mouth", the old general shouted with an angry face: "The saint acts, it's not for us as courtiers to comment on it, beware of the wall with ears, so that your life is not guaranteed, after all, the disaster comes from the mouth." The old general said earnestly.

After all, the old general is a person who has served two generations of kings, and he knows some dark things in the court, if the previous king was alive, he would naturally not be afraid of these things. Although some villains in the court had the intention of blackmailing him, the old king's blind favoritism made the Zhan family as stable as Mount Tai. And the old king also intended to let the Zhan family keep peace forever, so he asked the prince to recognize the old general Zhan as his father-in-law, but he never expected that the prince would hate the war family because of this, and the old general did not dare to take the initiative to explain anything to the prince.

One is that he is too old to pull his face to argue with the prince, and second, if he meets the prince in private, if he is found out by the heart, he will inevitably get a lot of trouble to the king, and besides, there is a king who has no suspicion. What if he had a private meeting with the prince, what if it was a rebellion? With the identity of the prince and the prestige of the old general, this seemed to be an easy matter, and in this way, the relationship between the prince and the Zhan family became a little tense under the instigation of people with good intentions.

The veteran general knew that this was the case, but there was nothing he could do, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Child, you are the hope of my Zhan family's future. There must not be any mistakes, and I think my warriors can be regarded as loyal to the country. But you have to understand that once the son of heaven and a courtier, my grandfather is old, and the relationship with the new king is very stiff, and the future of my war family will be handed over to you. That's why I took you out, first, to see the world, and second, to accumulate some military merits to plan for your future career. “

The young man next to him nodded obediently, only to see that this young man was in his twenties, with a tough face and a medium build, giving people a very strong feeling. This young man is the grandson of the old general, Zhan Ziming.

He is the last male member of the Zhan family, and he is usually taught by the old man Zhan himself, but later his family changed greatly and was full of widows. That's all left of this little grandson. Therefore, the old man Zhan attaches great importance to this grandson, and this kid did not disappoint the old general, he is young, he is already a little master of the third-layer realm, and he is very talented in military command, and he is regarded as the heir by the old army, and today is his first time on the battlefield. So I just chattered a few more words.
