Over the years, because the civilian system of Lizhou Road and Chengdu Fu Road has been bent on weakening the strength of the generals, so that the military equipment here is not repaired, and the army construction is seriously deserted, it is said that there are five armies in Lizhou, but in essence, the number of personnel is far from reaching the quota, and the total number of the five armies is only less than 10,000 people, and most of the soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the combat effectiveness is very poor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The rebellion in Pengzhou was not big, only a small area of only 2,000 local soldiers rose up to rebel, but soon they controlled the entire Pengzhou area, killed local officials, robbed the local treasury, and used the inventory of weapons to strengthen their armament, but also forcibly recruited a large number of local young and strong into the army, which expanded to more than 10,000 people in a short time, and under the leadership of the rebel general Zhang Tong, they soon invaded the border of Bazhou.

The Sichuan system made Zheng Zheng panic at that time, and hurriedly reported the situation to the imperial court, and soon the imperial court's edict was issued to Zheng Zheng, and the deputy capital of Lizhou Road was responsible for sending troops to encircle and suppress.

But the pity is that the number of soldiers and generals on Lizhou Road is small, not to mention the combat effectiveness is also very low, plus there is also the affairs of garrisoning, the deputy capital commander Zhu Bojun knows that his strength is insufficient, but he does not dare to disobey the holy order, or temporarily put together a force of nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, and led the troops to attack the Pengzhou rebels.

But this battle is really enough for Zhu Bojun to bear, the rebels are now in full momentum, although Zhu Bojun also led the troops to attack the rebels again and again, but they have been defeated in successive battles, more than two months down, not only can not exterminate the rebels, but let the rebels fight more and more, the result is that just after the New Year, the rebels conquered Bazhou, Zhu Bojun is not too ashamed, leading the troops to fight to the death and not retreating, but finally died in the chaos.

After the news reached Lin'an, the government and the opposition were shocked again, most people did not expect that the small Pengzhou rebellion had now developed to such a point that even the chief of the deputy capital of Lizhou was killed, and I am afraid that it will not take long for Lizhou to be occupied by Zhang Tong's rebels, and then there will be big trouble.

Gao Huaiyuan was also shocked by this news, and he couldn't sit still, so he immediately went to the court to plead guilty, and asked for orders to go to Lizhou Road in person to quell the rebellion.

Zhao Yun was also very nervous by this news, and he didn't even have the mood to listen to Zhen Dexiu's morality, so he immediately went to the court to summon the important ministers of the court to discuss the matter.

Your Majesty, the defeat of the Lizhou Road army is related to the improper arrangement of Weichen, Weichen is willing to accept the guilt, today Weichen is going to ask the saint for his life, please ask the saint for permission, Wechen is willing to go to Lizhou Road in person to quell the rebellion, to ensure that Zhang Tong's rebellion is resolved as soon as possible! Gao Huaiyuan didn't wait for Zhao Yun to ask them, so he was the first to stand up and say.

The other ministers also looked at Gao Huaiyuan, no one stood up to object, and Zhao Yun was very moved at this time, it was really a critical moment, and he was still a benevolent brother! Everyone else is standing in the dry and lively, only he said that he wanted to go to quell the rebellion in person, and Zheng Qingzhi was secretly happy in his heart, Gao Huaiyuan finally couldn't help but leave the capital, so as long as Gao Huaiyuan left the capital, he would have one less enemy to annoy him in the capital every day, this time Gao Huaiyuan had better go and plant a big heel, then he would have the opportunity to give him a copy.

So basically no one in the court objected to Gao Huaiyuan's invitation, and they were all waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, Zhao Yun nodded and said with emotion: It's still Gao Aiqing's sympathy for me! Since this is the case, then this time there will be another trip to Lizhou Road! But how many soldiers and horses does Gao Aiqing plan to lead to Lizhou Road this time? If necessary, Gao Aiqing can transfer some of the soldiers and horses of the front division of the palace to Lizhou!

But Gao Huaiyuan immediately said: Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen, this time the Lizhou soldiers are quite fierce, if you lead the army from Beijing, I am afraid it will be delayed for a lot of time, Weichen will not take the soldiers and horses in front of the palace this time, Weichen is still exhausted, when passing through Jingxi, it is more rapid to select and transfer a soldier and horse from Jingxi to Lizhou!

Zhao Yun pondered for a while and then nodded and said: "This is very good, the momentum of the rebels is indeed very fierce, Gao Aiqing is very thoughtful, since this is the case, then I will allow you to transfer troops to the western part of Beijing, Gao Aiqing should prepare quickly and rush to Lizhou as soon as possible!" For the affairs of Lizhou, it is far away from Lizhou, so Gao Aiqing will make a decision on my behalf!

Zhao Yun still trusts Gao Huaiyuan very much, and he is very satisfied with the handling of Jingdong's affairs, and he also knows that if he comes and goes from Lizhou to the capital to ask for instructions, it will take a lot of time, if he can't extinguish Zhang Tong's rebels in a short time, once he makes it big, it will form a great threat to Sichuan, and Sichuan has always been a rich place in the Southern Song Dynasty, where there is chaos, and the impact on the imperial court is also very great, so Zhao Yun is not stingy with power, and simply decentralizes power, Let Gao Huaiyuan make his own decision, so that this trouble can be solved faster.

We're thanking Lord Longen! Early tomorrow morning, Weichen will immediately set off for Lizhou! Gao Huaiyuan immediately knelt down to thank the emperor and replied.

For this time to Lizhou to quell the rebellion, a large group of generals under Gao Huaiyuan all ran to the Privy Council or Gao Huaiyuan's mansion, looking for Gao Huaiyuan to ask for his life, wanting to accompany Gao Huaiyuan to Lizhou, but Gao Huaiyuan refused one by one, and told them at the same time to let them continue to train soldiers and horses in Beijing with peace of mind, and it is necessary to make their soldiers and generals combat effectiveness reach a stronger level, and this time he went to Lizhou, because he couldn't afford to delay the time, so he didn't take the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division to quell the chaos.

As a result, these generals felt very regretful, so they had to wish Gao Huaiyuan success one after another, and then went back to work according to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions.

Hua Yue originally wanted to accompany Gao Huaiyuan to Lizhou, but Gao Huaiyuan also refused, and said to Hua Yue: Brother Hua doesn't have to go with me this time, I will hand over the affairs of martial arts and martial arts halls in various places to Brother Hua, this is a big deal, compared to the extermination of the small Zhang Tong rebels, if it is completed, a great achievement for the country and the people, this time I will ask Brother Hua to suffer! And I'm not in Jingshi, you can also monitor it on your behalf, brothers in the army, these people in the province are taking advantage of my absence to provoke something wrong! If there is anything, you can directly consult with Mr. Ji, with his help, there shouldn't be too much trouble!

After hearing this, Hua Yue had to agree, and found Liu Dayong to select a thousand elite soldiers from the front division of the palace overnight, and handed them over to Li Ruohu to lead as Gao Huaiyuan's protector, and Li Ruohu was not polite, and immediately took over this escort, plus Gao Huaiyuan's 100 iron guards, and prepared to go on the expedition.

And Liu Er is still a little reluctant about Gao Huaiyuan's trip, but she also knows what kind of person she married, so it is far from the time to fight with Gao Huaiyuan every day, so she is also generous and unobstructed, prepared various outfits for Gao Huaiyuan overnight, and took Qiu Tong to find Gao Huaiyuan, who was busy with urgent business.

Xianggong is going to go thousands of miles away this time, and the concubine knows that even if she follows Xianggong, she can't help much, but the concubine also has a request, that is, Xianggong still takes Tong'er with her, Tong'er has a good kung fu, and with her by Xianggong's side, the concubine is much more relieved, after all, the road is far away, and Tong'er takes care of your daily life, which is much better than those rough men!

Gao Huaiyuan looked at Liu Er and Qiu Tong, and was a little reluctant in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said: This is very good, then everything in the family will have Mrs. Lao! Tong'er will follow me to Lizhou!

Qiu Tong was still worried that Gao Huaiyuan would not take her, as soon as she heard that Gao Huaiyuan agreed, she immediately showed a bright smile, since she married Gao Huaiyuan, although she can see Gao Huaiyuan every day, but Gao Huaiyuan is very busy during this time, and he can only get together for a moment every day, most of the time Gao Huaiyuan doesn't even have time for her to enjoy the joy of fish and water, this time he can follow Gao Huaiyuan to Lizhou, and it is just right to enhance the relationship between them.

But I also have an appointment first, Tong'er can follow me to Lizhou, but after arriving in Lizhou, Tong'er needs to stay in Jianzhou, not to accompany the army, last time you disguised yourself as a woman to get by, but this time everyone knows that you are my wife, so you can't break my military regulations anymore! If not, you won't be able to go with me this time! Gao Huaiyuan then said.

Qiu Tong pouted again when he heard this, his face was full of dissatisfaction, but thinking about what Gao Huaiyuan said, after Gao Huaiyuan led the army, he was very strict with his subordinates, and ordered the army to act, and the generals were never allowed to bring female dependents, let alone camp prostitutes in the army.

So after thinking about it for a while, Qiu Tong pouted and said: Since the Xianggong said so, then the concubine can only agree! I've listened to your arrangement this time, it's a big deal to stay in Jianzhou and wait for you!

After making this decision, Gao Huaiyuan led more than 1,000 guards early the next morning, ordered him to board the ship, and went to the palace to bid farewell to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun saw Gao Huaiyuan wearing a military uniform, and he was full of emotion in his heart, and immediately announced the decree, gave Gao Huaiyuan a jade belt, and temporarily awarded Gao Huaiyuan as the capital to undertake the decree, and demoted Zheng Yuan to the deputy envoy of the Sichuan system, obeyed Gao Huaiyuan's dispatch, and ordered Gao Huaiyuan to handle the military and political affairs in Sichuan on his behalf.

And this time, because it was not a large army traveling, Zhao Yun did not go out of the palace to see him off, but sent Gao Huaiyuan to the gate of the palace, and then said goodbye to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan glanced at Zhao Yun, approached Zhao Yun and whispered: Your Majesty, Weichen heard something today, saying that the saint has been nostalgic for the flowers recently, although it is good to enjoy the flowers, but you should also pay attention to the body!

The saint is young now, although the throne has been decided, but he still has to focus on state affairs, and he must be close to the gentleman and far from the villain! There are also ministers who are not in the Beijing Division, it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to attack Wechen, and Wechen also knows that the saint is kind to Wechen, but if Wechen is not there, I hope that the saint can judge right and wrong!
