Chapter 436: Seizure of power
Defeated and defeated, the army was defeated in the first battle of Baigou......
What bullshit is that the elite Western Army, as well as the Bianliang Forbidden Army that is extremely rubbish, add up to almost 200,000 horses, and they were defeated by the Liao army guarding the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the corpses were extremely miserable for dozens of miles.
If it weren't for the Liangshan army desperately resisting, several inhuman powerhouses with starlight quenching bodies were killed all over the body, more than a dozen Liangshan leaders were killed in battle, and tens of thousands of Liangshan soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Liao army was reluctantly forced to retreat, I am afraid that it would really be a hundred miles away.
After this battle, the imperial court suffered heavy losses, and its prestige almost fell to the bottom.
As long as you are not a fool, you know that the Liangshan army is not the 'own people' of the imperial court.
That is, at this time, the large Green Forest military group in the Great Song Dynasty has been completely destroyed, otherwise they would be comfortable.
If Fang La can endure until now, he may be able to take half of the south of the Yangtze River in one go, and there will be nothing to do with Zhao Gou in the future.
Not to mention that the imperial court is full of mourning, and Liangshan Benzhai is also very busy.
A large number of wounded people were quickly transported to Benzhai for recuperation through carriages arranged with runes, and the entire Benzhai suddenly became a huge wounded battalion.
Fortunately, the health and medical conditions here in Benzhai are quite good, and Lang Zhong, who has been trained through the medical hall, is still quite good in the treatment of trauma.
At least, under the command of the divine doctor An Daoquan, Benzhai received almost 20,000 wounded in one go, and it was still able to be orderly and orderly.
It's just that some of the leaders who came back to recuperate from their wounds questioned the Chai officials: "Why did the brothers all enter the state of entry into the idea of the star view, but they still died in the chaotic battle?" ”
It was Song Jiang, who was faintly mentioned in the letter he wrote to Chai Daguan.
"How many are there?"
"The idea of Xingchen Concept is a cultivation technique, it is just the effect of a simple introduction, how can it be that cultivators are invulnerable on the battlefield and are not afraid of dying in battle?"
"At the very least, you have to reach the Starlight Quenching Stage to be able to barely have a strong vitality on the battlefield and not be afraid of the siege of thousands of troops!"
"I want to ask, among the leaders who died in battle, which one is an inhuman powerhouse who has reached the Starlight Quenching Body?"
After saying a few words, the leader who came to Benzhai to recuperate had nothing to say, and he cultivated more diligently and diligently.
Song Jiang also turned off his voice, and the usual correspondence was a discussion of the current situation, and he never said anything questioning.
The current situation in Hebei can be described as a collapse.
The remnants of Tong Guan's army were defeated and retreated all the way, almost retreating to the Bianliang area of Tokyo in one go, as if his backbone had been broken.
According to the information collected by Chai Daguan, all the soldiers selected by the Zibianliang Forbidden Army can come back alive, and almost every day some people run home in private.
Originally, Tong Guan packed up, and he might be able to gather almost 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses.
Even if the combat power is all paper paste, it can bluff people, right?
It's a pity that Tong Guan himself was also depressed, as if he was frightened, he didn't pay attention to the crumbling defeated army at all, but ran directly back to Bianliang to curry favor with Emperor Daojun.
The fiasco of this expedition to Liao naturally has to launch a scapegoat, and it is obvious that Tong Guan is the best choice.
Tong Guan also understood this, so he didn't bother to put away his frightened subordinates, but instead bent on currying favor with Emperor Daojun, so as not to be used as a scapegoat.
I don't know how he operated, anyway, in the end, Emperor Daojun let him go, and in the end, Tong Guan continued to recruit soldiers and horses, intending to continue to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
At this time, it was able to withstand the offensive of the Liao army in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and still maintain its basic combat effectiveness, and the Liangshan army, which was already less than 20,000 at this time, was particularly conspicuous.
At the very least, the Liangshan army can withstand the front of the Liao army, which is something that the elite Western Army can't do.
Then, the remaining army of less than 20,000 Liangshan entered the eyes of Emperor Daojun, as well as Tong Guan and other powerful ministers.
To put it mildly, at this time, the Liangshan army, which was less than 20,000 in Hebei, could be regarded as the most reliable mobile force in the Great Song Dynasty.
The Western Army couldn't take care of it, the main forces were scattered, and the remaining Western Army had to guard against the Western Xia Party, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were not worth mentioning.
It's really funny to say, the Great Song Dynasty claims to have a million forbidden troops, but after careful pulling, the millions of forbidden troops are basically paper paste, and they can't be counted on at all at a critical moment, and they have to rely on the people and horses transformed by thieves like the Liangshan army.
At the same time, some secrets of the Liangshan army can no longer be hidden.
Gongsun Sheng, the dragon who entered the clouds, called for wind and rain, set up a formation to arrange the ability of Qimen Dunjia, and was definitely a master with genuine skills.
There are also inhuman powerhouses who have been tempered by starlight and are incredibly powerful.
Such a strong man can completely defeat one enemy and one army on the battlefield, and his strength is terrifying and powerful.
The imperial court only saw this, and it was already quite shocking that it was so.
Emperor Daojun didn't care about the conquest of the Liao State for a while, and hurriedly summoned Tong Guan to inquire about the matter of Sun Sheng, the Duke of Yunlong, and had the intention of recruiting him to the Bianliang Palace as a Taoist worship.
Previously, when he was conscripting the Fangla rebels, because the Fangla rebels had fire control skills, Tong Guan asked the imperial court to recruit Daomen and Buddhist masters to deal with it.
It's just that the Gao Shi recruited by the imperial court did have cultivation, but unfortunately he did not perform well against the opponent who had the art of alien fire in the upper part of the army.
Emperor Daojun was naturally clear, so he didn't pay too much attention to these masters who really had cultivation.
It's just that this time, the details of the Liangshan army are too shocking.
Gongsun Sheng, the Duke of Zhuyun Dragon, is a Taoist master who has experienced the tempering of war, and he is very attractive to the Daojun Emperor who is bent on seeking immortality.
When Tong Guan heard this, Emperor Daojun wanted to invite Gongsun Sheng to become a court worshipper, how could this work?
Gongsun Sheng participated in the whole process of the war against the Fangla rebels, and he was clear about Tong Guan's clumsy performance, if he went to the emperor's side to 'talk nonsense', did Tong Guan want to continue to mix?
To put it mildly, he finally suppressed Emperor Daojun's idea of being 'unreliable', and Tong Guan launched an offensive against the Liangshan army to seize power.
In the entire Great Song Dynasty, the defense of warriors has been deep in the bone marrow.
All generals who rise to the top basically have a good end.
Di Qing of the Renzong Dynasty can be said to have received the full support and maintenance of Renzong, but was not forced to die depressed by the powerful civil official group?
That is, the family and the folded family of the Northwest Generals, because of the border war, have always had a lot of soldiers and horses in their hands, in order to maintain the unique position of the generals, since the founding of the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, I don't know how many people died in the war to get the status.
That's the case, and he is also living with trepidation and caution, for fear that one day the court will suddenly turn around and destroy the door.
The Great Song Dynasty is a paradise for scholars, but it is definitely a purgatory for aspiring warriors!
At present, the performance of the Liangshan army is extremely amazing, and it is able to fight with the Liao army with the same number of troops.
Such a strong army must be in the hands of the imperial court!
Don't think that this is Tong Guan's idea, or the collective meaning of Emperor Daojun and down to the court.
The imperial court not only had to completely control the Liangshan army, which was less than 20,000, but also completely split the Liangshan army after it was used, and it could no longer form a large-scale armed force.
As for how to master the Liangshan army, the means are actually quite simple!
It's just a feudal official and the leader of the Liangshan army is transferred.
So soon, Song Jiang, who was on the front line in Hebei, received an order from the imperial court.
Directly promoted to Doctor Wude, Yanzhou pacification envoy!
Such an official position is much more reliable and formal than the previous virtual title of so-called pioneer officer.
Lu Junyi also got a position as a pacification envoy in Luzhou!
The two chief and deputy commanders of Liangshan were all officially appointed by the imperial court at this time, and they could be regarded as stepping into the ranks of local military high-ranking officials in one fell swoop.
As for the leaders below, they are basically commanders, as well as adjutant generals and generals.
For a while, the entire Liangshan army camp was thunderous, and Song Jiang and Lu Junyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they had a sense of satisfaction in life that they had gotten what they wanted.
It's just that when the imperial court envoys who came to summon them urged Song Jiang and Lu Junyi to take office as soon as possible, the two were dumbfounded.
Especially Song Jiang, he quickly understood what was going on, and his mood was suddenly complicated to the extreme, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
After all, he has been in Yuncheng County for many years, where does he not know the methods of the imperial court?
This is to seize the military power of the Liangshan army......
It's just that the imperial court used a yang strategy, which gave him benefits that were difficult to give up, in exchange for the imperial court's control of the Liangshan army.
Song Jiang didn't have any other thoughts, but he knew that the Liangshan army was the foundation of his foothold in the imperial court, and if he lost the support of the Liangshan army, he was afraid that the future officialdom would not be easy.
Of course, it is impossible for him to refuse the 'good intentions' of the imperial court.
Accepted Zhao'an before against public opinion, wasn't it just for this day?
When the other leaders heard the news, they didn't know what to say.
The imperial court gave enough benefits, and the pacification envoy of Yanzhou was not just talking, but facing the front-line military towns of Western Xia, it can be said that the military and political affairs were grasped, and it was an absolutely important position.
In exchange for the command of the Liangshan army, the sincerity of the imperial court this time was still very strong.
At least, that's what the leader of a general-turned-general thinks.
It's just that the rest of the reckless leaders feel inappropriate, but they can't say why, just look at what Song Jiang thinks and chooses.
didn't wait for Song Jiang and the leader of Liangshan to be entangled in their hearts, and Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn on the other side, was happy to pack up, and greeted the prodigal son Yanqing and prepared to leave for Luzhou to take up his post, and there was nothing to be nostalgic for the Liangshan army.
To say that Lu Junyi has any good impression of Liang Shan, it is to deceive himself.
It's just that since he went up the mountain, he has no way back.
At the moment, it is absolutely a surprise from heaven to be able to get the position of Luzhou's pacification envoy, and it is a fool to be called a fool if he takes office immediately......
