Chapter 115: A high position and a long way to go

Zhao Gou led the order to thank him, and the hussar general was from a first-class official position, and he was promoted instead of downgrading, which made the ministers surprised. Zhao is the highest-ranking commander among the generals, and he is truly on an equal footing with Gao Yu.

Zhao Gou's previous position as the Privy Council envoy was a civil servant, and compared with this time, he abandoned civil affairs and followed the military. Song Huizong gave him the title of general, and also made him the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, that is to say, the entire Great Song army was in his hands, and the real position was high and powerful, and even Zong Ze, Chongshi Dao and others were also subordinates of Zhao Gou, and the official position of military generals was also respected by Zhao Gou.

Song Huizong crowned Zhao Gou Hussar General and Generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and for a time there were thousands of waves. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, no one has ever been able to hold such an important position at the age of twelve.

The ministers were all surprised, Gao Yu saw that Zhao Gou had a heavy army, and he didn't need to play the Ming Sheng, but he could mobilize the army on his own, which made him extremely anxious, and he thought: "The civil official has already made it difficult for me to sleep, and I have obtained such an important official position, wouldn't it climb on my head, and it will be even more difficult to deal with him again." ”

Acting King Zhao Heng panicked, his face changed greatly, and he thought secretly: "The ninth brother has won the favor of his father, and he has been transferred from the Privy Council to the hussar general and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Even if you have the same official position, you have different power in your hands, how can this be good? If you win a big victory again, where is there still my shadow, I am afraid that the court will only remember the king of Guangping, and I don't know that there is my acting king. ”

Song Jiang, Seed Master Dao, Zong Ze and others were also dumbfounded, they never thought that Song Huizong would give such an important official position, making them all stupid.

At this time, regardless of seniority, the military generals in the DPRK and China need to obey Zhao Gou's moderation, which means that Song Huizong relied on Zhao Gou's safety for the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, and this time he made up his mind to kill the traitor.

Song Huizong glanced at everyone indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "I know what you think in your hearts, and I know better than you all about the ability of the constructor, and the appointment of the hussar general is a deliberate decision, you don't need to say much." I want those thieves to see the power of the Great Song Army, and let them know that going against the court is a dead end. ”

"Gou'er, I have appointed you as the general of the hussars and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Then you must show your true skills, do not disappoint my expectations, you can dispatch all the soldiers and horses in the world, and those who do not obey the order can exercise the right to cut first and then play, I want to see the thief bow down and confess, and I will personally behead him. If you can't do it, I'll punish you, you know? ”

Zhao Gou replied solemnly: "I must live up to my father's trust, and I will definitely let the thief be the first to surrender." If they fail to do so, they are willing to accept any punishment. ”

"Good! Good! Good! Song Huizong praised three times in succession, and said in a deep voice: "I will entrust you with all the authority to exterminate the thief head, and I will listen to your good news in the capital." Tomorrow you can set out for the south to destroy the rebels of Fangla. ”

"Sure enough, it's Fang La!" Zhao Gou muttered silently.

At first glance, seeing Song Huizong angry, and listening to his angry words, Zhao Gou had already guessed that it was Fang La's rebels, only Fang La dared to ignore the imperial court in his eyes, with millions of soldiers, and his fierce generals were like clouds, invincible, and the strength of the Great Song State was only two million people, which was enough to compete with the Song Dynasty.

What Zhao couldn't figure out was the strength in Fang La's hands, even if the generals led by Song Jiang were brave and good at fighting with one as ten, they couldn't compete with a million troops, only in the book could they do it, and it was unimaginable that more than a dozen people could come back.

It was originally a festive celebration banquet, but it broke up unhappily due to the rebellion of Fang La. This time, Song Huizong did not summon Zhao Gou, turned around and left in a huff, and left everything to Zhao Gou to solve by himself.

Zhao Gou held the handsome seal in his hand, his face was solemn, he knew that this handsome seal was not easy to take, and he had to take it. If you can't exterminate the Fangla rebels, you won't be able to give an account, and it will be even more difficult to get rid of your guilt. Although the handsome seal was very light, his heart was heavy, and he sighed: "It's really Alexander!" ”

"Alexander? General, what does this mean? Yue Fei asked in surprise.

Zhao Gou shook his head awkwardly and said, "It's nothing!" It's nothing! …… Let's go home! ”

Yue Fei, Lin Chong, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others all followed Zhao Gou back to the county king's mansion. Since they did not have a mansion in the capital, they had to stay in a guest house temporarily. However, tomorrow they had to leave for Jiangsu and Zhejiang to quell the Fangla rebellion, so Zhao Gou asked them to go to his mansion to discuss major matters.

"General Song, have you ever heard of Fang La?" Zhao Gou said in a deep voice.

Song Jiang replied: "I have heard of Fang La, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this person not only has far-reaching military talent, but also is a rare general. He is also the owner of the lacquer garden, he is bold, popular, and philanthropic, he has helped many poor people, and he is also a well-known person in the local area. ”

Lu Junyi continued: "In addition, I also heard that this Fang La's martial arts are unfathomable, but no one has ever seen it, I don't know the depth of his martial arts, I am afraid that he is only strong but not weak." Moreover, he has a million soldiers in his hands, and he is a general who can fight well, and if he wants to exterminate him, it is really a difficult bone to gnaw, and he needs to think in the long run. ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "If you really want to win this battle, it will take a few months, or years. It's just that we don't know much about this person, so we don't know how to do it. This must be a tough battle, you must be prepared for a long battle, this battle may be in danger of life at any time, if you are not careful, you will really die on the battlefield, and when you arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after tomorrow's departure, you will have a good observation, and you can not hit it hard. ”

"What kind of birds are you afraid of! The big deal is to die, and eighteen years later, he will be a good man again! ”

"Yes, it's a big deal to fight with him, it's impossible to say who will win or lose!"

Everyone was talking one after another, they were all arrogant, and they felt that Fang La was not a person to worry about at all, even if he died on the battlefield. It's just that Zhao Gou was willing to risk losing his head for them before, which made him very admired in his heart. Everyone is willing to follow Zhao Gou to fight on the battlefield together, they are from the grass court, and they have been rewarded by the imperial court and become the official of the imperial court, how to make them not grateful, even if they are willing to put their lives on the line.

Zhao Gou saw that everyone was high-spirited, and he was not afraid, and he also smiled. However, only I know the bitterness in my heart. Zhao Gou, Song Jiang and the others all understood that Fang La was not so easy to deal with, and only brute force could not defeat him at all. Moreover, Zhao Gou has also seen the romance in later generations, and Fang La is not a good stubble.

After discussing it for a while, there was still no result, but everyone knew that they had to be well prepared. So, Zhao Gou asked them to go back to rest and set off tomorrow. After everyone dispersed, a black shadow quietly came to the county king's mansion.

Zhao Gou knew who it was when he saw the figure, and hurriedly shouted, "Thirteenth uncle, why are you here?" ”

Cai Wang Zhao seemed to smile and said, "Gou'er, you have finally grown up a lot, and your ability has grown up a lot after not seeing you for a long time." As for everything you have done in Qingzhou City, I am also clear and have done a good job. Today, I came to see you, and there is another thing that the imperial brother ordered me to come, so you should have guessed it. ”

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "Uncle Huang came here for the matter of Fang La's uprising? ”

King Cai nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, it is for this matter that I came, and it is also the order of the imperial brother, there are some things that need to be told to you." ”
