Tokyo. Zichen Palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received a compliment from Yang Jian and Dongping Mansion Taishou Cheng Wanli", Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji looked at the group of civil and military forces in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "This time the imperial court went to Liangshan, and it was actually defeated again!" ”

Hearing the official family in front of him say this, all of a sudden, the entire court, the ministers of civil and military affairs were talking a lot, and none of them dared to raise their voices, all of them looked surprised.

Zhao Guanjia continued: "I remember this, but I have allocated more than 70,000 soldiers and horses to Liangshan, and I will be under his control. I thought that this Guan Sheng was a person who could be reused, but I didn't expect that this time, I actually saw the wrong eye again, and the majesty of my court was swept away."

"An army of 70,000 is 70,000 pigs, and it is enough to level that Liangshanbo together!"

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty", hearing that the official family in front of him said directly and extremely disappointed, Cai Jing, who had previously recommended Guan Sheng, suddenly hurriedly stood up, and knelt directly to the ground with a look of shame at the Zhao official family in front of him: "The minister knows no one and is guilty!" I hope Your Majesty will condemn you! ”

Seeing Cai Jing kneeling down in front of him, the Zhao Guanjia at this time did not pay any attention to the other party, but said coldly: "Earlier, I received a report from Yang Jian, suspecting that this Guan Sheng had collusion with the Liangshan thieves. Now it's good, this Guan Sheng, as the commander of the troops, was not only defeated, but also surrendered to the Liangshan bandits, and went to win the city of Dongping Mansion and Yang Jian and Cheng Wanli."

"What?"

Hearing this, the officials below immediately whispered, with a look of disbelief: This Guan Sheng is so mad?

Yang Jian and Cheng Wanli saw through the treacherous plan, and they took all the plans and captured the other party at risk. Otherwise, this time, I will not only lose 70,000 troops, but also lose my henchmen and the Dongping Mansion! Seeing the discussion below, the official said again.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, the Taiwei Gao Yu suddenly stood up and said to the official in front of him: "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of Weichen, this time Lord Yang and that Cheng Taishou were clever and decisive, and they smashed the treacherous plan between Guan Sheng and Liang Shan, and they should be rewarded!" ”

"Reward naturally to be rewarded", Zhao Guanjia heard this, and immediately said coldly: "However, those who should be severely punished must also be severely punished!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

At this time, the privy envoy Tong Guan also hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It's just Your Majesty, right now that Guan Sheng and others have been arrested, if the Liangshan thief Kou learns about it, he will send troops to Dongping Mansion to rescue Guan Sheng and others." At present, an order should be sent as soon as possible to escort Naguan Sheng and a few people to Tokyo. ”。

"What Aiqing said is very true", Zhao Ji nodded and said: "Right now, Yang Jian is also ready to personally escort Guan Sheng and other thieves to come together."

Speaking of this, the face of the Zhao Guanjia became gloomy again:

"I don't understand what the Liangshan bandit is capable of defeating the imperial army repeatedly. I don't even understand what is so good about the Liangshan thieves to be able to teach the generals of the imperial court to fall into Liangshan so brazenly and make such a betrayal of me. Betrayal of the society, betrayal of the ancestors! ”

"Your Majesty, as far as Wei Chen knows, the name of the leader of the Liangshan Bandit Kou is called Chao Gai, and he was previously an inconspicuous Baozheng in Yuncheng County, Shandong. Later, this person gathered a few villagers and people, and settled in Liangshan to become a coward. This person is used to using those rivers and lakes to deceive people's hearts", Tong Guan couldn't help but report again.

"What kind of virtue does this Chao Gai have, just one Baozheng, and a few villagers can be taught to turn their backs on me and their ancestors?" , Zhao Guanjia couldn't help but snort coldly.

Hearing what Zhao Guanjia said, all of a sudden, the civil and military forces of the entire Manchu Dynasty were speechless and silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen", Zhao Ji looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in front of him and was silent, and then said again: "Liangshan thieves are rampant, and they must not be tolerated. What is your clever plan, how to exterminate this Liangshan thief? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is necessary to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise, if it is left behind, it will be a disaster", that Gao Yu suddenly said: "There is a saying before, Jiangnan La, Hebei Tianhu, Huaixi Wang Qing, if they are allowed to develop again, this Shandong Liangshan will also become a big problem."

"Right now, that Fang La has caused an incident in Pingping, Jiangnan, and Wei Chen thinks that he should send troops at the same time to exterminate that Fang La and Liangshan, so as to kill chickens and monkeys, so as not to cause thieves to arise, and the people's grievances will boil, which will be harmful to the community!"

"Extermination is naturally to exterminate, but who is the commander?"

Zhao Guanjia looked at Gao Yu and couldn't help but say: "If you send a commander who was co-opted by the Liangshan thieves again, how can I save face?" ”

"Your Majesty, please pause the wrath of thunder. Weichen thinks that it is not possible to send troops on two fronts! ”

At this time, Na Tong Guan clenched his fists again and said: "At present, the thieves in my Great Song Dynasty belong to the strongest in the south of the Yangtze River, and now that Fang La is unscrupulous in the south of the Yangtze River, embezzling a large number of states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. However, at the moment, the situation in the north is still not asked, and the barbarian state of the Liao State has reversed itself, and we have to guard against it. If we wait for the two fronts to send troops, it is in case the Liao State learns the news and puts pressure from the north, and the Western Xia on the western front also takes advantage of the fire to rob, and at that time, the situation in my Great Song Dynasty will be critical! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guan's family was also taken aback. What Tong Guan said, but it is not impossible. Although the north has been negotiating, everyone knows that the Liao people in the north will not die.

"This ......"

Zhao Ji suddenly looked at Tong Guan again: "According to what Aiqing said, what should I do?" ”

"Your Majesty, according to what Weichen said", Tong Guan suddenly said proudly: "That Fang La's strength is the most powerful and the most harmful, we might as well dispatch a large army first to sweep away the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River with the power of thunder, at that time, like that Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Chao Gai and others, must be in danger of my brother." ”

"At that time, we will wait for the army to go north again, and when the time comes, Natian Hu, Wang Qing, Chao Gai and others will see the experience of the previous car of that Fang La, and they will surrender one by one. Even if one or two people surrender, Your Majesty can make them attack each other, and when the time comes, all the thieves will be gone! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji suddenly showed a touch of joy: "What Aiqing said is very true, and it will be changed to Aiqing's plan." It's just that this time to go to Jiangnan, who can lead the army? ”

"Your Majesty, Tong Shumi is brave and strategic, and he is well versed in the use of soldiers, and this plan is from him, so he is naturally the best candidate to lead the expedition!" Gao Yu didn't know the psychology of the official family and Tong Guan at this time, and suddenly hurriedly spoke.

Now that Guan Sheng surrendered to Liangshan, the official family will definitely no longer be willing to send external generals to be the commander, and this time the expedition to Jiangnan is a long way, and the matter of unifying the army must be handed over to his confidants to rest assured.

And this plan is from the hands of Tong Guan, and Tong Guan has already planned it. And this time, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there seems to be no more suitable commander than him, the privy envoy.

Sure enough, when the Zhao official family heard this, he immediately nodded, and said with a smile: "If Tong Aiqing goes, I will naturally rest assured!" ”

Seeing this, Tong Guan suddenly looked at the Zhao Guanjia in front of him, first paused, and then said in a deep voice: "Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, Weichen is willing to accept the order to repay Your Majesty's mighty heavenly grace!" ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then take Aiqing as the commander, allocate troops and horses, and first crusade against the south of the Yangtze River!" , Zhao Guanjia suddenly said with a smile.

"Wechen obeys!" , Tong Guan immediately bowed again to receive the order.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a word!"

At this time, I saw Su Yuanjing, the former captain of the palace, standing up quietly, clasping his fists and saying.

"Oh?"

Zhao Guanjia suddenly said: "Su Aiqing has no roots, play quickly!" ”

Zhao Ji's mood had just improved at this time, and he looked at Su Yuanjing in front of him and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Weichen suggests that there is no need to send troops on a large scale to recruit Fang La at this time!" , Su Yuanjing said suddenly.

"Huh?"

When Zhao Ji heard this, his face suddenly changed. He had just decided on this matter, and he didn't want this Su Yuanjing to immediately raise an objection, which really disappointed him.

However, based on the fact that he was in the court at this time, and that Su Yuan Jingping was also a rare upright minister, and he would not flatter him, Zhao Guanjia asked lightly: "Why is this?" ”

Su Yuanjing said again: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Weichen heard that Jiangnan Nanla held a martial arts conference for people from the rivers and lakes in Hangzhou. Moreover, according to reliable sources, the movement made by Fang La this time is not small, above the rivers and lakes, whether it is Wang Qing, Tian Hu, Chao Gai and other big forces, or those thieves who are not in the climate in other mountains, but most of those who can be seen will participate in this so-called martial arts conference! ”

"Right now, it's only been more than ten days before the martial arts conference. At this time, if the army is raised to attack Fang La, as soon as the army moves, Fang La will definitely learn the news in advance, and when the time comes, I am afraid that this so-called martial arts conference will end without a problem! ”

"Captain Su, what do you mean ......?"

Tong Guan was originally extremely annoyed that Su Yuanjing made a statement at this time to stop him from going south to crusade, but when he heard this, Tong Guan couldn't help but look at Su Yuanjing in front of him with a serious face, and seemed to understand a little.

"Tong Shumi's expectation is good, Wei Chen wants to come, and now the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is just right to take advantage of the gathering of those thieves to catch them all. When the time comes, all the thieves and bandits in the world will be caught, and their power will surely collapse and scatter, wouldn't it be better? ”

Su Yuanjing smiled and said: "If the Tong Shu's army goes this time, it will definitely disturb the other party, so Wei Chen has this word."

"Su Aiqing, what you said is true?"

At this time, the Zhao Guanjia looked at Su Yuanjing in front of him excitedly, and his eyes were full of expectation.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter has been verified by Weichen, and there is indeed such a thing."

Su Yuanjing clenched his fists and said: "Therefore, Weichen suggests that Your Majesty may wish to issue an order for Tong Shumi to secretly transfer troops to take this opportunity to wipe out these thieves!" ”

"Okay", Zhao Guanjia suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Su Aiqing's heart is as careful as a hair, she shares her worries for me, and she should be a model for all the secretaries!" ”

When the words fell, Zhao Guanjia looked at Tong Guan again and said: "Tong Aiqing listened to the order and ordered you to secretly mobilize elite soldiers to go to Hangzhou, and take advantage of the gathering of thieves to capture them all!" Remember, don't startle the snake! ”

Hearing this, Tong Guan immediately bowed: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”
