As soon as Wu Song heard that voice, he couldn't help but curse secretly: Which dead eunuch is this?

The civil and military officials at the scene naturally knew each other, and it was the eunuch Tong Guan who spoke. When Song Huizong Zhao Ji saw that it was Tong Guan who spoke, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Tong Guan, what do you mean?" ”

Tong Guan said: "Long live Qiyu! Judging from the regular items such as the queue drill just now, the new forbidden army really gives people a refreshing feeling. As for the actual combat ability, it needs to be tested on the battlefield in the future. Moreover, the slave maid thinks that as the saying goes, 'one soldier bears, one will bear a nest', and the saying is 'there are no weak soldiers under a strong general', and to measure the combat effectiveness of an army, we must not only look at each soldier, but also look at the handsome general! ”

Zhao Ji said: "What do you mean, do you doubt the ability of Wu Song as a general?" ”

Tong Guan said: "Don't dare." However, Wu Song was able to come up with so many new ideas, break the convention, and train the new forbidden army in a completely different way than our Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty。。。。。。 ”

As soon as Wu Song heard this, he secretly said that it was not good, this dead eunuch was going to put Lao Tzu to death.

You must know that Tong Guan is clearly a word in his words, and the hat he deducted for Wu Song is not small: Wu Song actually dared to change the army training method set by Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu, to put it mildly, it is unusual, and to put it more seriously, it is disrespectful to Song Taizu and even the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that even the nine clans are okay!

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Wu Song and Tong Guan have met face-to-face. Wu Song secretly killed Tong Guan's secret agent Ma Kui lurking in Qinghe County, and seized Tong Guan's coveted "Situ Testament". However, Tong Guan should not know about these situations. Otherwise, he would have found Wu Song directly a long time ago.

Tong Guan is now targeting Wu Song, purely from considering not letting Gao Yu and Cai Jing's forces further grow. Because, just now Gao Yu and Cai Jingjing spoke highly of Wu Song in front of Emperor Zhao Ji. Whatever the enemy approves, Tong Guan must oppose. Since Gao Yu and Cai Jing spoke highly of Wu Song, Tong Guan wanted to suppress Wu Song.

In fact, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, and Gao Yu cannot be said to be "political enemies" in the full sense. Speaking of which, in the past, Cai Jing was not appreciated by Zhao Ji for a while, and was left out in Hangzhou, but he still relied on Tong Guan's way and helped Tong Guan blow the wind in front of Zhao Ji before he regained his favor. The relationship between the two was originally excellent.

It's just that there are no permanent friends in politics. When Cai Jing regained power, there was a contradiction between him and Tong Guan fighting for power and profit and competing for favor in front of the emperor.

In these years, Tong Guan was the envoy of Xihe Lanhuang and Qinfeng Road Jingluo to pacify the system, and was continuously promoted to the envoy of the Wukang Military Festival. Crusade against Xige Zang Zheng, recover the Jishi Army and Taozhou, and was added to the official as the inspector of the school, which can be described as a spring breeze.

But he is just a villain after all, and it is inevitable that the villain will be ambitious, arrogant and arrogant, and the selection of generals and officials will directly play the Ming Song Dynasty Huizong, completely ignoring the government, which gradually goes against Cai Jing's wishes. Previously, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong had planned to worship Tong Guan as the third secretary of the Kaifu Yitong, but Cai Jing openly said: "How can the official position of the prime minister be granted to the eunuch?" "He didn't follow the edict.

This naturally made Tong Guan hate Cai Jing to the core.

Therefore, Cai Jing and Gao Yu both praised Wu Song, and Tong Guan didn't care which side Wu Song would end up on, he would suppress Wu Song first anyway.

His words gave Wu Song a hat with a great crime, and the civil and military at the scene could naturally hear it, and some of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Even Cai Jing couldn't help but want to speak a few more words for Wu Song.

However, Zhao Ji was not a fool, and naturally he could hear the meaning of Tong Guan's words, but he interrupted him: "You don't have to be wordy. Wu Song used a new method to train the new forbidden army, not to oppose Emperor Taizu, but to innovate according to the changes of the times, which is the same as the reform of the law, as long as the new forbidden army is loyal to the imperial court and can fight, there is no need to delve into it! ”

Tong Guan was busy seeing the wind and rudder, and said: "Long live the wise." However, although Wu Song was able to use new methods to train the forbidden army, it was still unknown what his skills as a general would be and whether he would be able to fight bravely on the battlefield. Therefore, the slave maid believes that the review of the new forbidden army should not only review the soldiers, but also the generals! ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he nodded and said, "It makes sense for you to say this." Tell me, how do you review it? ”

Tong Guan said: "Long live the lord." The slave and maid have been blessed with the will of Long Live Longen and Long Live He, and they have fought for the country over the years, recovering lost territory, and their subordinates have also cultivated some generals who can really fight and have been tested on the battlefield. You only need to send one of them to fight against Wu Song, and you can see Wu Song's strength! ”

"Good!" Zhao Ji himself is an idle master who likes to watch the excitement. I think that when I was not the emperor at the beginning, it was because I liked cockfighting, lackeys, playing football and practicing martial arts, that I fell in love with Gao Yu, who could play football. As soon as he heard Tong Guan suggest that Wu Song fight with a general who had returned from the battle, he became interested: "I will allow you to make up what you want, and you will choose a general to compete with Wu Song!" ”

Tong Guan was overjoyed and further said: "In order to let them all exert their full strength and show their real skills, the slave maid also wants to beg Long Live Junzhi to agree, and the winner can be the commander-in-chief of the new forbidden army!" ”

When Cai Jing and Gao Yu heard this, they immediately couldn't sit still. Special Tong Guan not only wants to suppress Wu Song, but also wants to bring the new forbidden army away.

Originally, the army of the Northern Song Dynasty had the tradition of "soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers", and they were highly vigilant that the generals would turn the army into their own forces, and there was a situation of division of feudal towns like in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, since the new forbidden army was formed by Gao Yu, it will definitely not be led by Gao Yu in the future. Gao Yu was willing to recommend another of his cronies to the emperor to serve as the commander-in-chief; However, Cai Jing wanted Wu Song to take the opportunity to take over as the commander-in-chief, that is, Song Huizong did not agree in order to avoid Wu Song's deep control over the new forbidden army, and he could also ask Zhao Ji to give Wu Song another equally important position.

However, Tong Guan wanted to take this opportunity to control the new forbidden army by his cronies. In this way, you can not only harvest the fruits of Gao Yu's hard work, weaken the power of Gao Yu and Cai Jing, but also take the opportunity to enhance your own strength.

Cai Jing immediately said: "Hooray! Tong Guan's discussion is inappropriate! The new forbidden army has just become an army, and Wu Song needs to continue to practice, and then talk about it。。。。。。。 ”

Song Huizong said: "Cai Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I have my own opinions. Let's let Tong Guan choose a general and fight with Wu Song for me to see! ”

Tong Guan couldn't help but be overjoyed, pretending to be impromptu and giving random instructions, but in fact, he chose a character who was the most loyal and ruthless to himself: Liu Yanqing.

Liu Yanqing was born in a family of generals, and had participated in the battle with the Western Xia several times, and at this time he had already moved to the head of Yanlu and the deputy commander of the Ma Army, and was a rising star among the generals of the Northern Song Dynasty. Let Wu Song, who has no actual combat experience on the battlefield, compete with him, obviously to crush Wu Song.

But the emperor opened his mouth, and Cai Jing and Gao Yu were not easy to object for a while. Gao Yu was originally using Wu Song, once he used Wu Song to train the new forbidden army, he would have to be angry for his precious son and retaliate against Wu Song, so he naturally would not risk making the emperor unhappy to speak for Wu Song at this time. Cai Jing has the intention to win over Wu Song, but it is not to the point of angering the emperor for Wu Song.

Liu Yanqing was ordered to come out, but in front of the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials, he had a modest posture and won the favor of everyone. But when he walked to the martial arts arena and came to the opposite side of Wu Song, he had a smile like an ant on his face, and said softly: "Hey! I'm going to beat you to death! ”
