The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was October!

In the past two months, the structure of the imperial court has been slowly improved! Li Ruoshui has returned to Hanzhong and assumed the position of Imperial History! The officials of the Sixth Ministry, the Zhongshu Province, and the Privy Council have also basically been replenished!

It's just that the appearance of the Military Aircraft Department has greatly reduced the power of the Sixth Ministry, the Zhongshu Province, and the Privy Council, but at present, the Military Aircraft Department mainly deals with military affairs, so the performance is not very obvious! But Li Gang has realized that something is wrong!

Li Gang visited Zhao Chen several times and wanted Zhao Chen to dismiss the Military Aircraft Department, but Zhao Chen did not agree!

Zhao Chen's reason is also high-sounding, the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department in troubled times can improve the efficiency of handling military affairs, which is indispensable! Even, Li Gang wanted to restrict the rights of the Military Aircraft Department, but Zhao Chen did not agree! When dealing with military affairs, you need to act cheaply, and if you restrict the rights of the military aircraft department, it will also greatly affect the efficiency!

Li Gang had no choice but to temporarily accept the existence of the Military Aircraft Department! In his heart, he was secretly thinking about a way to persuade Zhao Chen!

The first snow has fallen, and the training ground is white! The mountains, the wasteland, and the trees in the distance are also white!

When the sky was bright in the morning, the soldiers of the forbidden army and the imperial camp had already risen one after another!

This time they are going to train for a rapid march again!

It took more than 70,000 soldiers three days to come to Qinling! However, this time the training effect was much better than the last time, and many soldiers were carried by other comrades last time! And this time, except for a very small number of people, most of them persevered to the end, and not many people were left behind!

The soldiers of the forbidden army and the imperial camp should stay in the Qinling Mountains for a period of time and conduct mountain training!

Zhao Chen took Wang Shu to the Great Dispersion Pass!

The Great Scatter Gate is also white!

Zhao Chen stood on the Guancheng, and Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu, Wang Shu and others were by his side!

"At the beginning, Wu Jue, Wu Lu and others were the monks in front of them, and the original defeated Jin Bing! Zhao Zhe, you defend the Great Dispersion Pass, and don't forget the monk Yuan in front! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we also have warriors stationed in the monk Yuan in front!" Zhao Zhedao.

"That's good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

He felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the last time he was here, he was running for his life! At that time, I almost had to give up Dasanguan and Hanzhong and go directly to Shuzhong! If that happens, it will be difficult for him to enter Guanshan again! Fortunately, Wu Jie defeated the Jurchens at that time, which reversed the situation! This time here, he was inspecting as a real emperor, and he even had a plan to counterattack the Jurchens in his heart!

They were looking out here, telling about national events, and at this time, a group of figures appeared in the distance!

"Huh!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but be stunned!

"Your Majesty, it's our soldiers!" Zhao Zhedao.

Zhao Zhenai is a congenital master, and his eyesight is naturally much better than Zhao Chen, at this moment Zhao Zhe has already seen that those people are wearing Han military uniforms, and they are all dressed up as Han people!

At that moment, Zhao Zhe immediately asked people to go and investigate!

However, his people have not yet approached those people, and the rest of the Jingyuan Army soldiers have already come up to report!

"Your Majesty, a few generals, it's Lord Qu Duanqu who is here!" The soldier fell to his knees and said!

"What!" Zhao Chen was taken aback and said, "Qu Duan? ”

Zhao Zhe was also taken aback and said, "Qu Duan? We didn't get any news before! ”

Zhao Chen stabilized his mind and said, "You see it, is it really Quduan?" ”

The soldier nodded and said, "It's Lord Qu, that's right!" When I was in Jingyuan City, I often saw Master Qu! ”

Zhao Chen laughed and said, "It's really good! He's finally here! Come, let's go down and meet him! ”

Originally, Qu Duan hadn't come for a long time, and Zhao Chen was already a little uneasy in his heart! This Quduan is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and there are 50,000 elite troops under his command! If Qu Duan is unwilling to surrender to himself, it is a great threat to himself! If you want to deal with Jurchen and King Kang in the future, you must first eliminate Qu Duan! Fortunately, by now, Qu Duan finally couldn't hold on and finally came to see himself!

At that moment, the city gate of Dasanguan opened, and Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu and others had already walked down from it and greeted the pedestrian in the distance!

Gradually, they got closer and closer to the pedestrian, and Zhao Chen could already see the appearance of the leader! The man was tall and mighty, with a scruffy beard and sharp eyes.

Qu Duan has also noticed Zhao Chen at this moment, but he hasn't seen him for a long time, and Zhao Chen has changed greatly! Zhao Chen's figure is much taller than before, and Zhao Chen always gave people a gentle feeling before, but now that he is in power, Zhao Chen already has a sharp temperament!

Soon Qu Duan saw Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu and others beside Zhao Chen, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes! These people were originally his subordinates, especially Wang Shu had a very good relationship with him, he didn't expect that all of these people would betray him and come to Hanzhong! Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh!

At that moment, Qu Duan strode forward, he came to Zhao Chen and the others, knelt on the ground, and said, "The guilty minister Qu Duan sees Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Chen laughed, helped Qu Duan up, and said, "Lord Qu is now a privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he be said to be a criminal minister?" ”

Qu Duan said: "Your Majesty can be oppressed by the fold, I have an army of 100,000 in Jingyuan but I don't come to rescue Your Majesty, isn't it a criminal minister?" ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "I am ambitious, General Qu is not unwilling to help me, but he is just temporarily avoiding his edge!" Later, didn't General Qu send Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, and Liu Qi to rescue me? Well, let's not talk about the previous things! From now on, Lord Qu will serve as a privy envoy well, and the country's military affairs will depend on Lord Qu! ”

Zhao Chen spoke generously, regardless of his previous suspicions, Qu Duan was a little grateful in his heart, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Over there, Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu and others came up to salute, no matter what, they were Qu Duan's subordinates before, but Qu Duan snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored these people, which made these people embarrassed!

"Did General Qu just come here on his own? Who is the 50,000-strong army in Jingyuan City under command now? Zhao Chen said.

"The 50,000-strong army of Jingyuan City is now under the command of General Wang De! However, General Wang De is a general, and he can become a generation of fierce generals, but he is not good at leading the army! I suggest that Your Majesty send someone else to take over Jingyuan City!" Qu Duan said.

"Well, I get it! Wang De is indeed a general, not a handsome talent! I don't think it's as good as this, General Zhao Zhe went to Jingyuan City, and the 50,000 troops were under the command of General Zhao Zhe! In the future, General Zhao Zhe will still be the commander of the Jingyuan Army, and Wang De will be the deputy commander! General Liu Qi led the Huanqing Army from Shu Road to the north to defend Dasanguan! Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen takes the order!" Zhao Zhedao.

Zhao Zhe felt some joy in his heart! At the beginning, they led the 50,000 Jingyuan army to Hanzhong, but later the 50,000 Jingyuan army was divided into two parts, he had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Qi was 20,000 soldiers and horses, but Liu Qi later annexed the 30,000 Zhejia army in Shu Dao, so Liu Qi's soldiers and horses became 50,000! Now with the 50,000 army of Jingyuan City, Zhao Zhe's soldiers and horses have become 80,000! Of course, Wang De is the deputy commander, and he must divide part of the rights! But he knew that Wang De was Zhao Chen's cronies, and Zhao Chen arranged for Wang De to be by his side, but he was afraid that he would also have the idea of spying on him!

"Immediately issue an edict and let Liu Qi lead the army to guard the Dasan Pass! General Zhao Zhe waited until Liu Qi arrived before leaving here! Zhao Chen said.

At the moment, Wang Shu and Zhao Zhe should be!

Wang Shu is the Minister of Military Aircraft, and it is Wang Shu who is doing what he is issuing the decree now! Wherever the emperor of the Qing Dynasty went, there must be a minister of military aircraft to follow, and the same is true for Zhao Chen now, where he goes, the princes and concubines follow him, ready to carry out Zhao Chen's orders at any time!

Seeing where Zhao Chen's order went, Wang Shu and Zhao Zhe all obeyed, and Qu Duan couldn't help but sigh again!

"Let's go, let's enter the Great Scattered Pass first! This weather is really cold! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

*** ***

At that moment, everyone entered the Great Dispersal Pass, and they sat by the fire together, and they all felt warm and warm.

Zhao Chen was extremely happy in his heart, Qu Duan came here, then Jingyuan City will no longer be a threat, and there is no need to worry about civil strife in the future!

"What's the situation with the Tangut people lately?" After a while, Zhao Chen asked.

The Jingyuan Army was originally set up to defend against the Western Xia people! Now it is normal for Zhao Chen to ask about the situation in Western Xia!

"Since the Western Xia people were defeated by the Jurchens, they are now struggling to breathe, and they have no power to attack us in the south!" Qu Duan Dao.

In the process of the rise of the Jurchens, they first defeated the Liao, then defeated the Western Xia, and then defeated the Great Song! Western Xia was also greatly hit by the Jurchens, and now Western Xia is to some extent a vassal state of the Jurchens! Within a few years, the Tangut people were afraid that they would not have the strength to go south!

"Excellent! In this case, Jingyuan City doesn't need that many garrisons! On the contrary, the Jurchens are a greater threat to us, Zhao Zhe, I think Fengxiang Mansion can also be handed over to the Jingyuan Army to garrison, the Jurchens are here, and the Jingyuan Army can also come in handy! Tell me about it, what's the idea? Zhao Chen said.

After some discussion, everyone felt that what Zhao Chen said was good! So this Fengxiang Mansion was also included in the defense range of the Jingyuan Army! According to Zhao Chen's meaning, Zhao Zhe can be stationed in Fengxiang Mansion, and Jingyuan City is still handed over to Wang De, of course, most of the army on Jingyuan Road will turn to the area of Fengxiang Mansion!

"It's been almost two years since the Jurchen invaded Kaifeng! Last year they were recuperating, they were quelling the rebellion in the North! This year, they should be moving again, right? Zhao Chen said.

"Not bad! Your Majesty, according to Weichen, the Jurchens will soon go south again! Qu Duan said.

"Oh? Heading south soon? Doesn't that mean that there is danger in our Hanzhong? Zhao Chen said.

"In Weichen's opinion, the Jurchens may not attack Hanzhong! Last year, they were defeated in Dasanguan, and they also knew that the terrain around Dasanguan and Monk Yuan was complicated, and it was extremely expensive to conquer these places! I think they will go all the way south to attack Jiangnan! Qu Duan said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was stunned.

"Yes, it should attack Jiangnan! From the north to the south of the Yangtze River, it is relatively easy to attack! On the contrary, it is more difficult to attack Hanzhong, and even if they can take Hanzhong, we can retreat to Sichuan! If they want to attack Sichuan through Shu Dao, it will be even more difficult! Now the land of Hanzhong is like chicken ribs, and in comparison, the temptation of Jiangnan is much greater! Wang Shu is also the way.

"I see! I understand! You all talk about it, if the Jurchens attack Jiangnan on a large scale, can we take the opportunity to counterattack Shaanxi? Zhao Chen said.
