Chapter 404: What's the Matter?

Since Zhao Gou has already come, there is something about Chen Guang, and Zhao doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, so he said it to Zhao Gou 1510. Ten years ago, it was the fourth year of Daguan, that is, after Cai Jing and others were deposed by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.

Prior to this, the power of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others was extremely huge, and even Song Huizong couldn't help them. If it weren't for Cai Jing's arrogance, pampering and arrogance, and Zhao Gou adding fuel to the fire, he would not have fallen so quickly.

At that time, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others controlled the government, especially Cai Jing was among the three princes, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition; Tong Guan and Cai Jing were embarrassed, and the two jointly controlled the government and government, not to mention, but also deceived the superiors and subordinates. Cai Jing has a huge influence in the capital, and Tong Guan is external.

In that year, Tong Guan returned from the Liao State, and was promoted and reused by Song Huizong, in charge of the Privy Council, located in Cai Jing. Tong Guan is even more stubborn and self-serving, thinking that he has the emperor's reliance, and he has a first-class member, and no one in the court dares to talk about it.

At this time, the Western Xia Kingdom was eyeing the Great Song Dynasty and had the heart to invade the Great Song Dynasty. Tong Guan volunteered, Cai Jing also fully supported, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong promised Tong Guan to be the commander of the three armies, in charge of the handsome seal, and everything was subject to Tong Guan's own decision.

Even Li Gang and others were never reused, Zhao Ji began to recruit troops in order to support the Great Song Dynasty's determination to wage war against Western Xia, and Chen Guang also enlisted in the army and went to fight in Western Xia with the army. Because Chen Guang made many achievements in the battle with the Western Xia army, and he was brave and invincible, Zhao seemed to be stunned when he heard the news of this person, and saw that his surname was Gao, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about his identity.

So, Zhao Ru secretly sent people from the villa to investigate the truth, and he himself set off from the capital to secretly observe. However, before Zhao Yi arrived, he received good news, which made him very curious, and he was even more determined to go.

Until he arrived in the Longnan area, Zhao seemed to look for a spy, but saw that he was seriously injured, if it wasn't for Zhao Qi's timely treatment, I am afraid that he would have died. The man told Zhao Zhao about what happened here, and it turned out that the good news reported by Tong Guan was false, and the real news was that he was defeated.

The spy said that Tong Guan confidently led the elite troops of Qin and Jin into Hehe and Long, and led a small number of soldiers and horses to garrison the ancient bone dragon in Xiaoguan, thinking that he could wipe out the Western Xia army. The general sent out by Tong Guan is Liu Fa, Liu Fa is a famous general in Xizhou, and he is even more familiar with this place, so he truthfully suggested that it would not work.

However, Tong Guan insisted on going his own way, forcing Liu Fa to agree to send troops, and scolded: "When you were in the capital, you personally received the order and said that you would definitely succeed, but now you think it is difficult to succeed, why?" ”

Liu Fa was speechless, this sentence was that he gave a military order, and he was forced to reluctantly agree to send troops. Unexpectedly, Liu Fa's troops were ambushed and died, and the Song army was defeated. However, Tong Guan said in the book that it was a great victory, you must know that Liu Fa is a famous general, if the news of his death spreads, not only the Western Xia army will attack, but even the local people will not spare him, and the emperor will also condemn him.

So, in order to protect himself, Tong Guan had to fake the good news.

"What does this have to do with the teacher?" Hearing this, Zhao Gou was a little puzzled, this matter was obviously Tong Guan's matter, how could it be related to Chen Guang, and he couldn't get along at all.

Zhao seemed to reproach: "And listen to me slowly, what are you anxious about!" ”

In order not to spread the news, Tong Guan killed all the soldiers who returned from defeat, and Chen Guang was among them. At that time, Chen Guang was a general under Liu Fa, and he would go together every time he went on an expedition, and this time was no exception, and the spies he sent were also among them.

Although he escaped, he was seriously injured, and Chen Guang was also seriously injured. However, in comparison, he was less injured. At that time, Liu Fa knew that there would be no return for this expedition, so he quietly wrote a desperate letter and handed it to Chen Guang, asking him to avenge him in the future.

"General Gao, if there is any difference in this expedition, you must not fall in love with the battle, and you must escape as much as possible; If he is lucky enough to return to Beijing one day, I hope that the general will present my grievances to the emperor, so that they can return my innocence, and it is also for the sake of my brother who died in battle! ”

Chen Guang agreed with tears in his eyes, solemnly put the desperate book in his arms, and when he set out on the expedition, Chen Guang quietly hid the letter, also just in case. The spies sent out by Zhao seemed to follow quietly and took the letter away.

Sure enough, Chen Guang and others fought their way out of the siege and finally returned to the camp, but they were surrounded by hundreds of guards led by Tong Guan, saying that they and others collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and killed General Liu Fa, which made them angry, and finally the two sides fought.

Chen Guang and others were ambushed by the Western Xia army, they were seriously injured, and hundreds of guards besieged themselves and others. In addition, the spy also investigated Chen Guang's identity as a descendant of the Gao family.

After Zhao seemed to hear about it, he asked him to take out the letter, and he also wanted to find Chen Guang, but he didn't have a chance, just because there were rumors that Chen Guang was dead. So, Zhao seemed to secretly leave with the spies, and he had not heard of Chen Guang since then.

After Zhao Yi returned to Beijing, he immediately informed him of what happened and what Tong Guan had done, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was eager to kill Tong Guan immediately, but because of his power, he had to endure it, and he also gave Tong Guan a drink to reward him.

Tong Guan is also a smart person, he knows that he is defeated by the Western Xia army, and if he wants to turn the situation around, he needs to rely on strength. So, he remembered the envoys of the Liao State, asked them for help, and negotiated directly with the envoys of the Western Xia, and finally solved it in this way with the intervention of the envoys of the Liao State.

"And what does this have to do with what I'm doing?" Zhao Gou looked at Zhao like puzzled, and he also understood the reason why Chen Guang had been reluctant to go back, not only was he accused of treason on his head, but also someone was secretly chasing and killing, so that this matter could not be leaked out.

At this time, Zhao Gou also knew what was going on with the injuries on Chen Guang's body, if it weren't for his strong martial arts, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of his own people. If it was really killed in the hands of the Western Xia army, it would be understandable, the problem was that it was really wronged to die in the hands of people who were conspiratorial and intrigued and did not understand the art of war and commanded indiscriminately.

Chen Guang's lifelong pain and guilt are afraid that his body will suffer more and more, and he will not be seriously ill but not treated in time. Perhaps it was because after Zhao Ru took General Liu Fa's desperate letter away, Chen Guang felt guilty in his heart, feeling that the general's trust had been wasted, and the things he had explained had not been done, and he could not return to the original place to get the letter back again, and he regretted it.

If the letter is retrieved, Chen Guang's temperament will definitely not be hidden, and it will definitely be handed over to Zhao Gou. In addition, Chen Guang has rarely shown up, even if he goes back, he is sneaky, everything is because of the existence of Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others, so he is incognito, but what does this matter have to do with what he did, Zhao Gou couldn't help but wonder.
