The old housekeeper of Gaofu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw that Yanai had just come, he stepped forward and said, "Little master, you have finally come out, and there is another group of people waiting to see you." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After that, he handed over a bunch of worship posts for Gao Fangping to see.

After taking a look, this time it was some unwilling generals from the Front Division of the Palace, the Infantry Division, and the Ma Military Division.

It's normal for these bastards to come and go through the back door, and of course the discerning person can see it. The current military situation continues to stay in the capital and slowly abandon. Because of the late military reform. On the other hand, those descendants of Gao Fangping are now promoted like rockets, especially Xu Ning is the most awesome, from a head of the sect, and now he has become the commander of the Beijing Resident Division.

Bi Shijing, who was almost ruined and killed by the Privy Council, is now more like a soldier than anyone else, with the rank of deputy commander of the forbidden army, and serves as the head of the soldiers and horses of the Jiangzhou Garrison Division.

Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, these birdmen who were unknown earlier, although they were very young, have all obtained a lot of official titles.

The original down-and-out martial artist Shi Wengong, he wanted to resign and go to the sea, and now the Privy Council has approved the expansion of the Yongle Army, Shi Wengong was promoted to the rank of deputy commander of the forbidden army, and continued to take the Yongle Army to garrison the waterproof, and the Yongle Army was upgraded to "Tongxiazhou", officially independent. Not even controlled by Jeju Governor Shi Wenbin.

Cao Zhong is such a big stick mallet who can only rub mahjong, and now he is the deputy Du Yuhou of the Infantry Division, because this fool is Gao Fangping's brother and childhood friend.

Therefore, whether they understand it or not, countless generals are now waiting to see Gao Fangping, and plan to follow Gao Fangping to the north to fight the world, so that they can have a long-term vision in the future.

In the past, the generals of the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to fight, because it was a dangerous thing. However, the proportion of battle losses under Gao Fangping's command is surprisingly low, and it is completely to cut people, not to fight.

Gao Fangping took a sip of tea, thought about it, threw all these begging posts in the trash can and said, "Immediately summon Liu Fa, and the rest will not be seen!" ”

The old housekeeper was speechless for a while, and he didn't know which green onion Liu Fa was, so he didn't dare to ask Xiao Gao again.

So the housekeeper had to run to the front of the palace and ask Lao Gao: "Master, little master, he wants to summon Liu Fa, but Lao Yu doesn't know who it is?" ”

"What are you doing with him?" Gao Yu squirted out a sip of tea and said, "Liu Fa is a sensitive person. My son just likes to slap people in the face everywhere. ”

After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Well, since my son must have arranged for a reason, let's go to him." Liu Fa was on an errand in the Imperial City Division and was one of the envoys of the Imperial City. ”

……

"Humble Liu Fa, see Xiao Gao Xianggong."

When Liu Fa came in, he swept away the snowflakes on his body, and said with a military salute and half-kneeling.

This is an out-and-out ruthless man. It was also mixed up in the quagmire of the Western Army, brave and good at fighting. However, his political background is problematic, and he is the person of Lu Huiqing, the marshal minister who presided over the Song and Xia battles at that time.

Later, Lu Huiqing was demoted, and of course Lu Huiqing's people were implicated, so he fell back to Beijing to be a master of the Great Interior, saying that he had a position as an imperial city envoy, but in fact, he was not even as good as an ordinary guard now. In the current climate, Liang Shicheng has never reused these capable people. It's the same as when Xu Ning was a teacher.

Looking at this fierce general Shaoqing, he is in his early forties, he has a weathered aura, and the murderous aura in his body is even heavier than that guy from the Seed Master, no wonder Liang Shicheng doesn't like him anymore.

"The little high-ranking minister summoned the lowly post, and I don't know what to order." Liu Fa hurriedly cleared his eyes and said: "A few days ago, Empress Dowager Liu asked someone from the Imperial City Division to invite you, and then something unpleasant happened, those who went to invite you, although they are subordinates of the humble position in reputation, but it really has nothing to do with the humble position, and the humble position can't control them at all." ”

Gao Fangping smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not so stingy." Sit down and drink tea. ”

"Xie Xianggong." Liu Fa breathed a sigh of relief. But he also looks like a hero in the twilight, Lu Huiqing has no hope of making a comeback at all, someone wrote a few days ago that his health is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that he will not live for too long, and it is difficult to say whether he can survive this winter. Fortunately, his son breathed a sigh of relief, and was also kicked out of the capital by Cai Jing.

Now that he can keep a position safely and steadily, receive a not a small salary, and mix up the rest of his life, it would be good for Liu Fa to come.

Gao Fangping said: "I'm direct, I'll ask you, I'm about to go to the Daimyo's Mansion, I need talents at hand, can General Liu still fight, or have you been smoothed out in the imperial city over the years?" ”

Liu Fa was excited after hearing this, took off the tea bowl, and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground: "If Xianggong is willing to use it, my old Liu will not do what he thinks in this life, and swear to follow Xianggong to the south and the north!" ”

"That's it's decided, get up, don't be so polite. And don't talk nonsense, what follows me and I don't do what he thinks? Gao Fangping said: "Who taught you in politics class, no wonder they left you cold." Remember that you are loyal to the emperor and the court. ”

"Yes, yes, the last general is a rough man, he can't speak, thank you for your advice."

Lao Liu's mouth smiled crookedly, once he got his ambition, it was so simple, as long as he had some luck, he must follow him to the Daimyo's Mansion, there are more than 10,000 thieves in the north who can be used to make meritorious contributions. As long as he shows courage and good fighting, according to the current situation in Song and Xia, there is still hope to be activated and return to the northwest to clean up the barbarians.

Of course, this Liu Fa's anger is heavier than that of the Seed Master, so you have to be more careful with him. In history, this old boy led the slaughter of cities in the territory of Western Xia, which was very bad. Later, in retaliation, Western Xia also slaughtered the city in the Song Realm.

Historically, Liu Fa eventually died in the Song-Xia War.

His death, Tong Guan's great joy of the mallet was to take the blame, because of Tong Guan's blind command, did not listen to Liu Fa's persuasion, and the time for battle was not ripe, Tong Guan strongly ordered Liu Fa to send troops to Tong'an. In the end, he fell into the plot of Brother Cha and was attacked by two elites of Western Xia.

In this way, the 30,000 elites of the Western Army were cut off by Tong Guan. Liu Fa was also killed in battle.

Of course, there are deep-seated reasons for the death of Liu Fa and others, and Tong Guan cannot be blamed for it.

The Fifth Battle of Song and Xia is the history of blood and tears of the Song people who worked hard and lost money. And this war was actually launched by Cai Jing, which was related to his leadership at the time, the government and the opposition, and the political reform of the military to seize power. So even Zhao Ji, who didn't like military affairs, was fooled into agreeing. So in the battle of the group army, Zhao Ji only trusted Tong Guan, so he sent Tong Guan as the Xuanfu envoy, and the governor of the Sixth Route Army to attack Xia.

In fact, Tong Guan has no problem being a little general, but he is not qualified and prestigious to lead the army at all, and Tong Guan cannot solve the balance of interests of all parties at the political level. Which of the six roads is the fuel-efficient lamp? Liu Yanqing and Liu Fa may listen to him, but generals like Liu Zhongwu, the master of the breed, are not good at all.

If Lu Huiqing Tao Jiefu is replaced, even if his military talent is not as good as Tong Guan, there will be no big mess, because they can solve political problems, what if you really can't do it, if you drag it down, it will be cut. It's a pity that Tong Guan can't do this.

So he was in a hurry, Tong Guan was anxious to get the results of the battle and explain to the emperor to Cai Jing, but he commanded the immovable seed master Dao and others, of course, he could only forcibly order Liu Fa's lone army to go deeper. Then the 30,000 elite sons and daughters were cut off like this.

To put it bluntly, even if it is a weak Song, Hanwa is not unable to fight, not that there are no generals. It's just that fighting a war is a political fight, and if the first three rows can't handle it, there will definitely be moths, and the big-headed soldiers will cry and be cannon fodder.

This kind of negligence in employing people and putting unsuitable people in the position of "handsome", Zhao Ji will take the blame. But the main pot is Cai Jing, which is Cai Jing's political interests, because if a handsome minister like Lu Huiqing Tao Jiefu is really enabled, Cai Jing will not be able to seize power through military reform, and Lao Chang can't control such a person at all, he can only control Tong Guan, so he instilled in the emperor the concept of "Tong Guan is invincible".

It's not that he really can't afford to fight the battle of Song and Xia at the moment, and he will still draw his knife to pick him up if he is in a hurry, but what depends on the situation is that before the fight, Tong Guan will be half dead, and if Tong Guan worships the general, he will definitely lose this battle of Song and Xia. In the current situation, there are only three marshals who can preside over the battle of Song and Xia, Tao Jiefu, Gao Fangping, and Zong Ze.

After YY, Gao Fangping smiled and said, "General Liu, you must know that I am under a lot of pressure when you follow me to the north." It's all because of Lu Huiqing's relationship, with Cai Jing's now, only I Xiaogao dares to use you, you remember this, don't let me down. ”

"The last general will understand, thank Xianggong for the grace of reconstruction." Liu Fa was very touched by this.

Khan, in fact, in a few years, according to history, Cai Jing will also use this reason to win over Liu Fa again. Xiao Gao is just pretending to be 1 in advance.

After listening to him take the oath three times, Gao Fangping looked like a traitor who bought and sold officials, and said with a smile: "I heard that General Liu was brave and good at fighting back then, and now I am employing people, so you have the right to go to the north with me." I will inform Chief Liang that after he issues a document and transfers you to the palace marshal's mansion, you will be appointed by the palace front division to be the deputy capital of the North 1 Beijing Garrison Division. ”

After a pause, Gao Fangping said: "I know you still like the northwest, but don't worry, do a good job in Beijing, and I will guarantee that you will return to the northwest in the future." ”

Lao Liu was excited, don't want it, fortunately, the sheep did not have an attack.

One advantage is that when he followed Lu Huiqing before, his official position was no longer low, and as for obedient people, Da Song was not very accustomed to demoting others, at most he was just idle. Therefore, Liu Fa's official position is still there, and the advantage of having a military rank is that Gao Yu can use it if he wants. If he is like Xu Ning in the past, his own official position is too low, so it will be ten times more difficult to maneuver.
