254 There seems to be new hope in everything

On April 6 of the second year of Jingkang, Li Gang, who had been expelled from the imperial court before, arrived at Yingtianfu, Zhao Huan held Li Gang's hand, wept bitterly, and kept blaming himself, saying that he did not know loyalty and goodness, lost virtue and dishonesty, and was close to the villain and far away from the virtuous minister, so it caused this disaster, and now he deeply understands his mistakes, and hopes that Li Gang can forgive himself for his previous wrong actions and come back to help himself.

What else can Li Gang say? can make the emperor cry bitterly to admit his mistakes, he has nothing else to ask for, he is a person who is dedicated to the country, and he had some small grievances before, but in front of the current Zhao Huan, he still saluted respectfully, accepted the emperor's appointment, and once again served as the prime minister of the Jingkang Dynasty.

After becoming the prime minister, Li Gang immediately started to work non-stop, as soon as he took office, he saw a surprise, the new household department Shangshu Gongsun Sheng is very capable, and the management of the 1.7 million people in Tianfu is in good order, every day is patrolling outside, and constantly issuing the latest instructions, so that everyone is busy, as long as they are busy, they have no time to think about those flowery intestines, and they are naturally safe, as long as they are busy, they can forget the pain as quickly as possible, regain hope, and continue to live.

Civil Affairs was not worried, Li Gang and Gongsun Sheng met, got to know each other, sighed at the loyalty of General Yue Yue, and went to find Wu Yong and Zong Ze, who were in charge of military affairs.

Wu is quite useless with this person's name, but his person is very useful, and his ability is not under Gongsun Sheng, Zong Ze is indeed capable, but he has been a civil official for too long before, although he is very tenacious, but he is lost in ability, Wu Yong's military ability makes up for Zong Ze's lack in this professional field, but Wu Yong can't be alone. Zong Ze's firmness is needed to show him the way.

The cooperation between the two men was seamless, and the reorganization of the army was extremely smooth, and there were people to do specific things. Li Gang was also relieved, so the most important thing next is to assist Zhao Huan, reorganize the government, and reorganize this weak and earth-shattering despicable government.

Zhao Huan actually wanted to kill those unruly courtiers in an instant, and then replace them. But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Huan also felt that this matter was really big and he couldn't jump to conclusions. So I found Li Gang and discussed it carefully.

"The hatred of the Jin people's humiliation, I remember it in my heart, and I don't want to take revenge on the Northern Expedition all the time. A shame before the snow. However, the Jin army is strong, our army is weak, and it is also a disaster, everything is chaotic, if you want to take revenge on the Northern Expedition, there are thousands of problems, and you need to sort it out before you can move later. Otherwise, the catastrophe is not far away, this catastrophe. I have seen clearly the face of the shameless villain inside and outside the court, and now there are many people in high positions, I want to depose him and promote the warrior who dares to fight as an official, I don't know what tricks Qing has to teach me? Zhao Huan was in the inner room and asked Li Gang in a low voice.

Li Gang frowned, thought carefully for a while, and said: "It is not difficult to say that this matter is not difficult, and it is not easy to say, the key is that this is the time when the imperial court is in crisis, if it is a time of great slaughter at this time, it will hurt the peace of the heavens, and I am afraid that people's hearts will be unstable. ”

Zhao Huan said in a low voice: "I also know that this matter is not easy, but I am not doing this for my own personal grudges, Yue Qing wrote to me, saying that if the imperial court wants to take revenge on the Northern Expedition, it must be a general who dares to fight, and now the ministers of the court are all cowardly and have no integrity at all, so the general commands the Northern Expedition, am I not committing suicide?" If the Great Song Dynasty wants to defeat the golden thief, he must expel these ministers who have no integrity at all from the court, otherwise it will inevitably be bad! ”

Li Gang nodded: "The minister also understands this principle, the loyalty of General Yue Tuo, the minister has no doubts, but the ministers in the court are uneven, and they are all over the place but they are biased, at this moment the people who dare to fight and can use them are only Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui A few people's ears, Sun Fu is loyal, but there is not enough talent to learn, there are also inappropriate things before, it is difficult to convince the public, Uncle Zhang has learned enough, but his body has not yet recovered, Liu Ziyu, Chen Dong, Zhang Jun's generation, although they are loyal and martyred, but they are not qualified enough to take on the big responsibility, the great court, Can only a few people take on it? That is categorically infeasible, although some courtiers in the court have no integrity, but they are capable, and these courtiers should not be rashly expelled. ”

Zhao Huan opened his mouth and said: "How to do it, please teach me Li Qing." ”

Li Gang took a deep breath and said, "Slowly figure it." ”

Then, Li Gang and Zhao Huan whispered, and in the end, Zhao Huan kept nodding: "I have Li Qing, just like Liu Bang has Xiao He, but it's a pity that Yue Qing, Yue Qing alone, can be compared to Zhang Liang and Han Xin, God has no eyes, so that the loyal ministers are falling, if Yue Qing is here at this moment, it will definitely help me regain my prestige!" Zhao Huan then showed Yue Xuan's letter and the blueprint of the Northern Expedition to Li Gang to see, and Li Gang was amazed after reading it.

"Yue Pengzhan is really talented, but it's a pity...... Pity...... Your Majesty, did General Yue really die on the battlefield? Li Gang asked with a glimmer of hope.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "When Liu Ziyu went south, he only brought this flag. Zhao Huan pointed to the flag next to his bed, and then said: "This is the banner written by Yue Qing himself, bloodstained and broken...... I really ...... in my heart Liu Ziyu did not find Yue Qing's body, so Yue Qing did not know whether he was alive or dead, I deeply hoped that Yue Qing was still alive, but I sent hundreds of people to the north to inquire about the situation, but they found nothing......"

Zhao Huan shed tears as he spoke, his heart ached, Li Gang sighed deeply, thinking of that year, when Yue Pan was still young, he went to send the holy decree to Yue Fan, and sighed even more: "The country is in danger, Fang Xian is a loyal minister, loyalty is not easy to obtain, great talent is even more rare, and it is even more difficult to have a talented and loyal minister, and it is difficult to have a Yue Pengzhan, but it is ...... Alas......"

But now, it is useless to sigh, Zhao Huan is engaged in state affairs, while sending people to investigate the news of Yue Fu uninterruptedly, Li Gang devoted himself to the post-war reconstruction and the Northern Expedition revenge, and was so busy that the sky was dark.

On April 8, Lin Chong and Luda rushed to Nanjing Yingtianfu, Jingkang was in trouble, the two were reprimanded back to their hometown, and they were recruiting villagers to go to the national disaster in their hometown, but before they arrived in Tokyo City, they heard the story of Yue Flip to the death of the Jin soldiers, when they rushed to the Tokyo battlefield, they only saw corpses everywhere, and they were still behind Liu Ziyu, so they did not find the corpses of Song soldiers on the final battlefield, they felt very strange, and asked around, and did not get the news of Yue Turn.

Then they got the news that the emperor went south to Yingtianfu, and at this time they met the person who sent the decree, so they quickly went south to Yingtianfu, looking for the emperor, the emperor saw Lin Chong Luda and the two, he was deeply sad and ashamed, and held the hands of the two tightly without speaking, and only after a while did he say that he had made a big mistake, and he had mistakenly believed in the words of the traitor, which had wrongly harmed Zhongliang, and this great disaster was caused by the mistake he had made, and he regretted it very much.

Lin Chong and Luda wept bitterly, Lin Chong cried: "The ministers are incompetent, so the country suffers this catastrophe, and it is the fault of the ministers." ”

Zhao Huan denied: "This disaster is not the fault of Qing and others, but I mistakenly believe the words of the villain, if it were not for Yue Qing's desperate rescue, I am afraid that I am already in the northern Xinjiang, insulted by the Jurchens, and I don't want to live!" It's a pity that Yue Qing, I don't know if I live or die, Qing and the others came from the north, can I know Yue Qing's whereabouts? ”

After Lin Chong and Luda arrived in Nanjing, they heard about Yue Tuo, plus the news they heard in the north, they put the matter to a rough end, and sighed, but they still didn't know whether Yue Tuo was alive or dead, because there was no relevant information at all, and they had no way of knowing what happened in the final battle, but there was intelligence that a group of more than 40,000 Jin soldiers continued to go north, and had left the border of the Great Song Dynasty on April 8, and there was nothing for the rest of the news. This Jin soldier seems to have fled from the border of the Great Song Dynasty without making any demands, and the Emperor of Jin did not hear any news.

But Zhao Huan is not going to sit still, since ancient times, although the foreign clan has been strong, the Han emperor of the Central Plains has not been bullied like this, Gou Jian has been captured, but Fucha is not a Hu person! That's a contradiction within the clan, different from the outsiders! Being captive by a foreigner and being captive by a native are two completely different concepts! Zhao Huan set an unprecedented record.

He gathered all the military talents he could know so far, as well as actively treated the wounded soldiers and wounded officers who had been sent back by Yue Tuo, intending to find and train an army that would be enough for him to avenge his hatred.

Lin Chong and Luda are two big killers, and the strength of these two people can definitely make Jin Bing tremble.

"Lin Qing, Lu Qing, please also ask the two Aiqing to immediately assist Marshal Zong in preparing military affairs, training the army, in case of emergency, I have decided to take revenge on the Northern Expedition, regain the lost territory, a shame before the snow, but the army is weak, lack of talents, the two Aiqing are rare tiger generals, may the two Aiqing assist me, a shame before the snow!" Zhao Huan held the hands of the two tightly.

Lin Chong and Luda saluted: "Don't dare to resign!" ”

Leaving Zhao Huan's residence, Lin Chong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Luda: "I never thought that one day, Peng Zhan would become a big hero to save the country and save the people, but today, I know that I was wrong, Peng Zhan really did what Shizun always wanted him to do, Peng Zhan is already a big hero, but ...... He ......" Lin Chong said, choking up.

Luda sighed deeply, remembering the first time he saw Yue Tuo, and remembering that after the end of the Southern Expedition, he was surprised to find that his prophecy came true, even far beyond his own prophecy, how could Yue Tuo be more than a hero?

The cowardly young man of the year, now, has become an iron-blooded general, for the country and the people, fighting to the death of the golden soldiers, the blood on both sides of the Yellow River is flowing into a river and the corpses are piled up into mountains, all of which are the masterpieces of this young man, 150,000 golden soldiers, a number that makes people feel desperate, but they were completely disabled by this young man with 30,000 troops, others don't know, but Luda, who has fought with female real soldiers, is clear, how terrible the combat effectiveness of female real soldiers is.

And in that land of corpses and a sea of blood, how many female real soldiers are there?

Although Yue Tuo died, he won precious time and precious hope for the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Yue Pengzhan can fight out 100,000 golden soldiers with 30,000 soldiers and horses! Why can't we?! Jin Bing is not terrible! It's not scary!

The Song people regained their courage. (To be continued......)
