History is like this, accidents are always accompanied by necessity, just as Li Gang has encountered now,

Li Gang can be discovered and reused by Zhao Huan, it can be said that it is completely accidental, and various coincidences are combined, all of which are indispensable. His appearance also immediately brought direct and huge help to Zhao Huan, and when the Jin army surrounded Kaifeng, Li Gang was trusted by Zhao Huan to lead the Kaifeng army and civilians to launch the "Kaifeng Defense War", and resisted the Jin army There is a surprising coincidence.

This is Zhao Huan's luck and Li Gang's luck.

But the sad thing is that the inevitability of history is also quietly playing a role, its inevitability lies in the fact that Zhao Huan is still Zhao Huan, and there is still a person named Geng Nanzhong by his side, the Song Dynasty is the last dynasty to carry forward the "scholar doctor" culture to the extreme, there are many scholars in the late Northern Song Dynasty, but most of them have no way to govern the country and save the country, but they are only good at playing with power, but they have enough wisdom, Geng Nanzhong is a representative of them!

Geng Nanzhong doesn't have much ability, he has only one advantage, that is, he chose to be loyal to the crown prince Zhao Huan when he served in the East Palace, even when Zhao Huan's crown prince position was most precarious, and even Zheng Juzhong had not decided to help Zhao Huan, he did not give up or betrayed Zhao Huan, and he was firmly with Zhao Huan from beginning to end. He was appointed as a member of the Privy Council (equivalent to the vice chairman of the Military Commission), and later promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng, Geng Nanzhong's persistence for many years finally paid off, and he officially made his fortune, but it was from this time that the misfortune of a great hero also began, and this hero was none other than Li Gang.

Because Geng Nanzhong's most important "political achievements" after taking office are only two, one is to eliminate dissidents, and the other is to "advocate peace" with Jin and undermine the anti-Jin.

Who is his "alien"?

Li Gang, who was born out of thin air and shines brightly!

Who insisted on resisting Kim and was contrary to his peace and surrender?

It's still Li Gang!

As a result, he became the leading figure of the capitulation faction that attacked and excluded Li Gang and many ministers of the main war faction in the DPRK and China, and blindly encouraged Song Qinzong to make peace with Jin and expel the ministers of the main war faction.

These two bad deeds were not in ordinary times, but at the most dangerous moments, coupled with his huge influence on Song Qinzong, even the prime minister Tang Ke, Nie Chang and others had to "depend" on him, then what he did inevitably played an extremely serious role in the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty!

Until now, under the effect of historical "inevitability", Geng Nanzhong still didn't like Li Gang from the beginning, because he should be Zhao Huan's most trusted, favorite and trustworthy person, but since this Li Gang appeared, his status in Zhao Huan's mind has inevitably declined, and Zhao Huan has even regarded Li Gang as the biggest hero who can overthrow Zheng Juzhong and ascend to the throne, which Geng Nanzhong can't bear!

That's why he said that to Zhao Huan, because he knew Zhao Huan too well, and knew what Zhao Huan was most taboo about, in the original history, he was able to bring down Li Gang, and now he will do the same!

This is the inevitability of history, the sorrow of Zhao Huan, and the sorrow of Li Gang!

In the next few days, Li Gang still devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparations, and did not notice that Zhao Huan's attitude towards him had quietly changed, maybe he had noticed it, but he just didn't care, this is his character, he is like a proud warrior, not afraid of small actions at all, he does his own thing, everything but asks for a clear conscience, why care about the things before and after?

After everything was ready, Zhao Huan finally ascended the throne, and Li Gang was about to officially set off to the front line to fight the enemy, but before leaving, Li Gang gave Zhao Huan another twist.

In the compromises, Li Gang bluntly said that the reason why the Great Song Dynasty appeared in the current dangerous situation was not because of how powerful the thieves were, but because first, the imperial court had not repaired the army for many years, and the military and government were corrupt, which directly led to the weakness of the army generals and soldiers. If you want to change the current situation, in addition to finding a way to repel the thieves, you must immediately reform and get rid of the previous accumulation of disadvantages, in order to achieve Zhongxing.

“…… Cronies are benevolent and virtuous, thinking that they are hearty; Harness the heroes, thinking that the minions ...... Reward and punish the guilty; training soldiers and repairing weapons; Financial management is righteous, so that the people are not able to collect, and the degree is sufficient to ......, know right from wrong, do not be evil, and attract talents...... Cherish the people's power...... Soldiers are happy to fight, how can there be invincible soldiers...... The period of ZTE is already in the palm of your hand! ”

In Li Gang's view, for the Song court, in the face of the persecution of thieves and the situation that the country is in danger, only by reforming the maladministration, correcting the program of the dynasty, strictly enforcing military discipline, and at the same time starting from politics, economy, talent, military and other aspects, can we achieve the rejuvenation of the country! And he, Li Gang, will go to the front line, and he will hold the determination to die for the country, and do everything he can to defeat the thieves. At the same time, he also begged Zhao Huan to immediately start reforming according to what he said. It's time to do both at the same time!

It should be said that no matter who looks at it, it can be seen that Li Gang is to the point, extremely accurate to expose all the current serious problems of the Great Song Dynasty, and the solutions proposed are also far-sighted, to the point, and a good way to save the country, and every word and sentence he wrote is from the bottom of his heart, honest and straightforward, and full of courage and courage, which can be called the "Teacher Table" of the world!

If this piece written by Li Gang was presented to Zheng Fei, Zheng Fei would definitely be moved beyond measure, and he would be happy that he could have such a capable minister, but unfortunately, Zhao Huan is not Zheng Fei, and there is only a group of people around Zhao Huan. Treacherous and small, the current Zhao Huan has been blinded by Geng Nanzhong, and began to look at Li Gang with colored glasses. Even such a piece of music was picked out of the egg by Geng Nanzhong and others.

"Your Majesty, look at what Li Gang said! He said that if you want to save the Great Song Dynasty, you have to fight the enemy on the front line, and you reform in the rear, and it is indispensable for the two things to be carried out at the same time, doesn't he put him on the same level as you when he says this, it is too arrogant, he is simply too arrogant....... ”

"Your Majesty, look at what Li Gang said, every word is the only way to save the Great Song Dynasty, and every word must force you to do what he says, otherwise it will be the danger of destroying the country! He is clearly threatening you to listen to him, and it also shows that he is extremely distrustful of you, does not worry about you, and has to arrange everything for you, he is treating you as a child, and he treats himself as a ....... ”

"Your Majesty, indeed, this Li Gang does have some talent, and he has done a good job of eradicating Zheng Juzhong, but he is really a little arrogant and outrageous, who does he think he is? He is just a courtier, you are the king of a country, you are the one who can save the Great Song Dynasty, but he is overstepping his responsibilities and being arrogant, he is now just a small soldier of the Ministry of War, not even the secretary of the Ministry of War, if he wants to favor him again in the future and make him the prime minister or something, wouldn't he turn to the sky...... ”

"Your Majesty, if this Li Gang is not disciplined and kills his sharp spirit, he will definitely become more and more crazy, and the harm is second to Zheng Juzhong!"

……，

Under such slander, Zhao Huan did not tire of it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Li Gang was unpleasant, and this piece that had the opportunity to change the fate of the Great Song Dynasty was also thrown aside by him in disgust.

Li Gang naturally didn't know about these things, he just rushed to the Daimyo Mansion as fast as possible to fulfill his promise to Zhao Huan and the Great Song Dynasty. And he rushed to the Daimyo's Mansion fast enough, after changing more than a dozen horses and rushing overnight almost without stopping, he rushed to the Daimyo's Mansion, which was only less than half a day later than the carrier pigeon released by the secret agent in Tokyo City that reported to Zheng Fei that he would come to the front line to supervise the army, that is, when Zheng Fei learned that Li Gang was coming, Li Gang had almost already arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion.

Zheng Fei's first reaction when he received the letter was to secretly say that it was broken!

Once hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers surrounded Kaifeng Mansion, the Great Song Dynasty was about to destroy the country, Li Gang was ordered at the most critical time, and soon stabilized the situation, leading the army and the people to resist the attack of the Jin soldiers.

And the current situation, although the strength of the Song army is also on the weaker side than itself, but their situation is still much stronger than being besieged by the Jin soldiers, the main force of the Song army 200,000 Northwest Army is still there, and has been retreated on the whole line, and now there is a Li Gang who has the ability to turn things around, this battle is not easy to fight!

Zheng Fei originally wanted to seize the time to train the two Liaoxia armies that had just completed the incorporation, so that the army that had been fighting for more than ten days could get some respite and recuperation, and at the same time persuaded Yao Gu to surrender according to the original plan, but the two pieces of news received one after another completely disrupted Zheng Fei's plan, Zheng Fei quickly made a decision, he couldn't delay it any longer, and he must immediately send troops to attack Yao Gu, and defeat the Song army before Li Gang came, at least the morale of the Song army should be completely defeated!

So, after Zheng Fei's order, within two hours, the army had completed its preparations, and followed Zheng Fei to leave Bozhou and go to the Daimyo's Mansion.

Along the way, the small armies of the Song army in various places saw that hundreds of thousands of troops had been killed from the edge of the sky, and they all fled without even resisting.

Zheng Fei and the Heavenly Dao Army's confidence is also getting fuller and fuller, it seems that the Song Army has really recognized the situation and does not dare to fight with him head-on, this is preparing to rely on the strong walls of the Daimyo's Mansion to fight a battle with himself to defend the city!

And this is exactly what Zheng Fei wants, the last thing he wants now is to spend time and energy with the Song army on the periphery of the Daimyo's Mansion, the sooner he can kill the Daimyo's Mansion, the better!

In this way, unconsciously, the vanguard army composed of all cavalry led by Zheng Fei became faster and faster, and the distance between it and the main force behind it became farther and farther.

When he arrived at a place less than 100 miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion, an incident was reported to Zheng Fei by the vanguard at the front, saying that there was a valley ahead, which was originally called "Shafengkou", but I don't know who changed the word "sand" on the stone tablet engraved with these three big characters to the word "kill" and became "killing the wind outlet".

When Zheng Fei heard this, he was suddenly and inexplicably shocked in his heart, killing the "wind" mouth...... At this moment, only the earth-shattering shouts of killing were heard, and they suddenly sounded from all directions!
