"Winning officials" is the honorific title for Yue Yun in the Zhenguo army, which means that every battle must be won.

If Liu looked carefully, his demeanor in watching the enemy's formation was five points similar to Wang Gui's, in fact, because both of them were from Yue Fei's account, they were both affected by it unconsciously. It's just that Wang Gui is more like Yue Shuai's resourceful side, while Yue Yun is more like his brave and stubborn side. At this moment, he held the prime minister's decree and commanded all the troops stationed outside Ezhou City to quell the chaos, but he was a little more polite to Yue Yun than other generals, and even a little flattery, but Yue Yun turned a blind eye, Wang Gui had to laugh dryly, turned his head and lowered his face, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial decree has been issued, and Liu Guangguo is still unwilling to lead the army out to quell the rebellion. ”

His words were unhurried, but they made the generals around him awe-struck.

Since the establishment of Ezhou, the struggle between imperial power and relative power, and the discussion among the people has been boiling, even if the illiterate rough people know that "the way of the world has changed". The officials of the imperial court, regardless of military affairs, are cautious when it comes to such "titles" and "major festivals". In the middle of the night, Wang Gui took the prime minister's decree to dispatch the eight battalions outside Ezhou City to quell the chaos, except for Cao Gu, the commander of the eight battalions was only Liu Guangguo was not there, and the deputy general did not obey the order on the grounds that the commander was not there. Wang Gui could only send the flag officer to Ezhou City to find Liu Guangguo to come out to lead the troops, at that time, the generals had doubts in their hearts. Now that Wang Gui said such heart-wrenching words again, it was as if a cold wind was blowing, and the generals who were good friends with Cao Liu couldn't help but shiver.

"Dashuai, do you want to attack immediately?" General Zhang Chang asked.

"Don't worry," Wang Gui shook his head and said slowly, "Wait for Liu Du to command the envoy." ”

The generals looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine Wang Gui was selling. Only Yue Yun's face remained unchanged.

Yue Yunhe and Wang Gui are both from Yue Fei's tent and know each other very well. On the one hand, Wang Gui is different from Zhang Xian and Yue Yun, he uses his troops to plan the most, and if there is a advantage to take advantage of in the war, he will never let it go in vain. Cao Gu rushed thousands of miles, one was defeated under the city of Ezhou, and the other was defeated by the encounter of suitable talents, and his morale had dropped to the bottom. If Liu Guangguo comes to quell the rebellion, the command of the eight battalions outside Ezhou City is seven to one, and Cao Gu will be completely isolated. Firearms fighting, the well-defended side takes advantage, the court quells the chaos occupies the name of righteousness, the military department gives orders, every moment of delay, the siege and interception of the rebels become more tight, and the morale of the rebels is lower, if it drags on, it will even collapse without a fight.

"Do you want to rush over?" Cao Gu's vest was soaked in cold sweat and still couldn't make a decision.

The faces of the rebel generals are also hesitant, the eight battalions outside Ezhou City are a mixture of the elite and the battalions of the Ezhou Forbidden Army selected by the troops stationed everywhere, and the strength of each battalion is clear to each other. Cao Gu originally thought that the generals of the DPRK and China were all outside, and the eight battalions of Ezhou were in their own affairs, and it was impossible for anyone to coordinate the generals immediately, but he miscalculated.

"Damn, I missed Wang Gui's kid, when did he catch Deng Su? Two insidious villains. ”

Cao Gu thought with annoyance. Wang Yan, Liu Guangguo, Zhao Xingde, and Wang Gui have successively led the soldiers and horses of the Ezhou battalion, although Wang Gui has the lowest prestige among these people, however, he is also the last one of the Ezhou battalions to be deployed. Since the Ezhou Rebellion, Wang Guitou was idle and was relieved of his military power, not only was he only in charge of the training of the new barracks, but even the Ezhou battalion was dismantled into eight battalions to contain each other. However, most of the middle-level officers such as battalion commanders and capital leaders are still old people. Except for unscrupulous people like Cao Gu, none of the other eight battalion commanders dared to recklessly replace all these backbone officers. Even Liu Guangguo didn't dare.

Outnumbered, Cao Gu did not dare to take risks, Wang Gui was not in a hurry, and the commanders of the other six battalions were even less anxious, and the two armies confronted each other from dawn until noon, except for the occasional temptation of some small troops, the two sides never launched a decisive attack.

"Young Marshal, General Liu's banner!" Hearing that the ministry would report, Cao Gu raised his head when he heard the words.

I saw that in the direction of Ezhou's coming, a group of soldiers and horses were hurrying under the banner of Liu Guangguo.

"Could it be that Ezhou is defeated?" His heart tightened, and then he was relieved, "If the two armies work together, they may not be able to rush out of a way out." ”

Cao Gu was about to send someone to contact the Liu family's soldiers and horses, but found that the situation was wrong, when the Liu family army approached the reinforcement army, not only did not relax his vigilance, but instead sorted out the formation, put on a posture of fighting between the two armies, and rushed over at a faster speed. The reinforcement army was caught off guard, and suddenly let Liu Jiajun rush into the rear, and the rear of the reinforcement and Guangzhou army immediately became chaotic, and even the front and the Chinese army were in chaos. At this time, Wang Gui seized the opportunity and ordered Yue Yun to command the eight battalions of cavalry, slamming the left flank of Cao Gu's reinforcement of the Guangzhou army, and he himself commanded the infantry large array to launch an offensive from the front, not long after the two armies exchanged troops, Yue Yun broke through the left flank of the reinforcement army, and he was extremely keen to turn the spearhead of the attack to the Chinese army, so that the rout of the left flank of the reinforcement army quickly spread, when the infantry army of Wang Gui arrived in large array, there was almost no fierce battle, only the matter of containing the prisoners remained.

The battle was a complete victory, with few casualties among the Song army, and Cao Gu was captured by Liu Guangguo's generals.

"The last general was greedy for a cup for a while, and almost delayed the big event, so please punish the president."

Liu Guangguo not only did not take pride in his merits, but took off his iron helmet and went straight to ask Wang Gui for his guilt, he was full of shame, Wang Gui immediately fell into Cao Gu, a person who received the favor of the country in the world, he could actually rebel, he was really greedy. The Cao family has a lot of old stories in the army, and now is the time to employ people, I hope that it will not be implicated too much, so that the army's heart will fluctuate and shake the country's foundation. He said this unhurriedly, Liu Guangguo made up his mind and was convinced: "The president is benevolent, and Liu admires it." His attitude was respectful and grateful, Wang Gui smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Cao Gu, who had become a prisoner under the ranks, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, however, after Cao Gu was captured, the whole person lost his soul, which made Wang Gui can't help but feel contempt.

"I remember that when Wang went to Luoyang to join the army, he also met General Xiao Cao, and he was very high-spirited at that time.....

Wang Gui waved his hand and asked people to take Cao Gu down, this defeated general, he had completely lost interest. Cao Gu used to look down on Wang Gui, and he knew it, however, since then, this person has been trampled under his feet and has become a stepping stone for him to climb up. "The father and son of the Cao family, they want to block the car with their mantis arms, how can they be undefeated?" He smiled and said to the left and right, "Take the small one, and then see what the old one says, and report to the imperial court." ”

When the news of Cao Gu's defeat came, order was completely restored to Ezhou City, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of War returned the city to Ezhou Prefecture.

"What a blessing!" Fan Changheng sighed enviously.

He put the iron ruler on the public case, grabbed the tea and poured it violently.

After a busy night, Fan Changheng did not seize a few opportunities for meritorious service, however, as soon as he returned to the yamen of the Criminal Department, he heard rumors that Deng Xianggong asked His Majesty for his will to make Wang Gui the Marquis of Pingyang, which made Fan Changheng envious, and he was annoyed by the major incident last night, and did not seize an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

In Ezhou City, people like Fan Changheng who think like Fan Changheng are like carp crossing the river. Since the change of Bianliang and the abolition of the emperor in the north, unconsciously, countless people have emerged from the bottom, far away from Chen Dong, Zhao Xingde, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generations, close to Deng Su, Wang Gui and others, these people have different personalities, different means, the only thing in common, is that from the beginning of the foundationless, to become a figure who affects the world, almost never relied on the family shadow. Their success has stimulated more people to embark on the road to fame like moths to a fire. On the other hand, since the establishment of Ezhou, the central reverence for the Son of Heaven has not been ordered by disorder, and local schools have been promoted, whether it is the center or the locality, it seems that there are vacancies everywhere, and there are opportunities everywhere, which stimulates the ambition of people like Fan Changheng.

Whether it's hard work, or conspiracy, or stealing, robbing, or grabbing, or grabbing by force, all in all, it's good to have a chance to climb up. However, it is these villains who serve in the battalion and camp that make Bianliang of the Ezhou Imperial Court ten times more active, although the system of the imperial court is full of holes, every time it is critical, there are always people who stand up to fill the loopholes and soar.

Ezhou line in the Chongning Hall in the Great Inner Palace, the monarchs look at each other, and the atmosphere is very strange.

Deng Su's face sank like water, and his expression was the same as usual, as if last night's incident was just a small commotion. Zhao Qi's face was pale, and he looked at Deng Su's gaze as if he was looking at a dormant beast. I was frightened and scared all night, but I waited for the news of the defeat of the Cao family and the capture of Cao Gu, the disappointment and frustration almost made Zhao Qi cry, and he didn't have the courage to summon Deng Su at all, however, Queen Cao's tearful pleading still made Zhao Qi muster up the last trace of courage, after all, what should come will always come, no matter how domineering Deng Su is, he always has to borrow the royal signboard, as long as he does not plan to usurp the throne and stand on his own, he will never do anything to kill the king.

"Deng Aiqing, I heard that Cao Gu did not raise troops to attack the city last night, maybe, is there a misunderstanding here? Perhaps, Cao Aiqing just wanted to go back to Ezhou to protect the holy driver, and forgot the rule that the commander of the army must have the right to send troops diplomatically three hundred miles from the capital. ”

Zhao Qi cautiously said carefully, he forcibly suppressed his fear, but he didn't dare to look directly into Deng Su's eyes.

"Oh? Cao Gu is a disciple of the general, and he is most familiar with the history of the imperial court, so why did His Majesty think there was such a misunderstanding? Deng Su said slowly, his expression seemed to be a little confused, "In addition, Weichen is still waiting for Wang Gui and other generals outside the city to report, who did you listen to the news here Your Majesty?" His tone was calm, but Zhao Qi's face became even paler, and he was speechless, and Wang Gui said again, "Since it is not clear, is there a misunderstanding, Your Majesty, please Rong Weichen carefully check it." ”

"Yes, yes," Zhao Qi nodded again and again, "Then there will be Lao Deng Xianggong." ”

He lowered his eyelids, not daring to contact Deng Su's forced gaze again, these days, this Xianggong who swallowed water like warm swallowing water, even more desperate than the upright Chen Shaoyang, if Chen Shaoyang is a thorn in the back, Deng Su is simply a noose around his neck, he wants you to take a few breaths, he can let you take a few breaths, if you want you to suffocate to death, you have to suffocate to death.
