Chapter 299: First Sight of Gao Yu
"Where is the war horse now?"
Jiang Chen frowned and asked.
These horses were bought by him from the Uighurs to train cavalry, and they were related to many of his later plans, and they would also be of great use in quelling the Fangla Rebellion, so they were absolutely not allowed to be lost.
"In Xianfengmen! At present, the people of our Royal Chamber of Commerce are confronting Song Yunheng.
However, it shouldn't be delayed for long, because Cao Guogong has also passed, and he has brought a large number of forbidden troops, which is simply to rob openly! Adults, please come and have a look! ”
Deng Hao's face was anxious, and he was sweating.
"Cao Guogong? How did he come out of nowhere? I don't seem to have offended their Cao family, right? ”
Jiang Chen frowned at first, and then thought of the list of account books offered by Cai Xu, and his heart was suddenly relieved.
said to Deng Hao: "Don't worry! I'm going to meet the officials, and even if they steal it, they have to give it back to me. ”
With that, he got up and said goodbye and left.
Zhu Yinian shouted to him: "Good day, slow down!" Let me bring a team of brothers from the Jimin Army to delay for a while, otherwise even if you can get the horses back, I'm afraid that what you will have to come back is a batch of horses that have been dropped.
Those grandfathers of the country relied on the merits of their ancestors, even the official family dared not to give face, there was nothing they couldn't do. ”
"Okay, then it's going to trouble Brother Zhu!"
Jiang Chen didn't expect that Zhu Yinian, as a member of the honorable people, would be willing to offend the grandfather of the country who was in power for him, and after taking a deep look at him, he hurried to Song Huizong's residence.
……
Song Huizong was living a 'two-person world' with Gao Yu, who had just returned to Beijing, at this time, and his eyes were red to tell about the past.
Hearing that Jiang Chen was in a hurry to see him, he passed it in.
After greeting each other, Jiang Chen looked at Gao Yu curiously.
The Gao Yu in front of him is not only tall and thin, majestic and handsome, but also has slightly dark skin, giving people a very capable and loyal feeling, which is not the same image as Gao Yu in the Water Margin.
Jiang Chen knew that most of the Water Margin was made up, and there were almost no records about Gao Yu in the real history books.
The only black spot recorded by Gao Yu is that he led the forbidden army around to engage in real estate, resulting in the forbidden army's lack of training and loss of combat effectiveness.
But in the Northern Song Dynasty, dragged by the three carriages of Song Huizong, Cai Jing and Tong Guan, what could Gao Yu do without taking the forbidden army to make a fortune?
To make herculean efforts to save a critical situation?
If it weren't for the continuous energy supply to meet Song Huizong's demand for money, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to keep his military power, right?
Thinking like this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but explore and make friends with this 'ally' who had been suppressed by Cai Jing and Tong Guan.
With a smile, he arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan has long heard that Lord Gao is unrivaled in bravery and strategy, and he has won many battles against Lord Liu Zhongwu and Lord Liu in Western Xia. ”
Hmm-
"Jiang Shaoqing has a good reputation, and it should be the official who should be honored to be able to meet the immortal disciples and the heroes who sent books in person."
Gao Yu's face was embarrassed for a moment, and he replied very low-key.
He didn't dare to say that he had won many battles, not to mention that Guang Zhenghe and Liu Zhongwu led an army of 100,000 to attack Zangdihe City in Western Xia, which killed tens of thousands of people in Qin Feng's third army.
But because Liu Zhongwu bribed Tong Guan and Song Huizong's great achievements, the final battle was publicized as a reversal of defeat and victory, so that Liu Zhongwu was not only not convicted, but also sat in the position of his former boss Gao Yongnian.
As a prisoner, he was rewarded by Song Huizong.
"Haha, you're all honored? Shouldn't I be honored to have both of you good courtiers at the same time? ”
Song Huizong saw that Jiang Chen and Gao Yu had a sense of familiarity at first sight, smiled very happily, and asked Jiang Chen: "Liangchen, didn't you come to see Gao Yu today?" ”
"I really can't hide anything from Master!"
Jiang Chen smiled flatteringly and said bitterly: "Master, in order to keep your reputation from being lost in our Jimin Army, the disciple specially asked Master Li Yan Li to purchase a batch of Uighur war horses for training, and you know this.
But who expected that as soon as the war horse arrived today, Cao Guogong and the new household servant Song Yunheng and others intercepted and seized them.
The disciple suspects that they are dissatisfied with the disciple's extermination of the old underground pole, ruining their financial route, and maliciously retaliating against the disciple, but there is no evidence, so I can only ask you to call the shots for the disciple! ”
Kindness?
This Jiang Chen ......
Gao Yu didn't expect that when they met for the first time, they met Jiang Chen to make a small report to Song Huizong, and he couldn't help but have a strange expression.
Song Huizong's face was solemn for a while, and he frowned and said: "Now that the forbidden army is not fighting, what are they doing to grab war horses?" Could it be that the dog can't jump off the wall in a hurry? ”
Even a worm will turn?
It's not that serious, is it?
Is there something going on in Bianjing that I know about the secret event?
Gao Yu's face was full of surprise, and he listened inexplicably.
Jiang Chen nodded in agreement and said: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, they even dare to do it as an underground emperor, but they are afraid that they have long lost their awe of the master, and it will not be wrong to take precautions first." ”
As Jiang Chen spoke, after glancing at Gao Yu, he pleaded: "Official, Lord Gao can fight well, command troops well, and is your cronies, so he should be put in charge of the forbidden army, so as to ensure that Bianjing is safe and secure!" ”
This......
The proposal is good, very good!
Gao Yu had long known the relationship between his sons and Jiang Chen, and even knew how much advantage his family had taken from Jiang Chen.
While looking at Song Huizong expectantly, he pretended to be modest and said: "No, this matter is absolutely impossible, in terms of seniority and background, where do I dare to compare with those grandfathers?" ”
"It was true that your qualifications were not enough before, but now you ...... Hum! You will temporarily take the position of palace marshal for the time being, and when I take care of those old guys for you, I will hand over the forbidden army to you to take care of!
I don't dare to trust any of those people! ”
As soon as Song Huizong thought of the list in the account book and the title of 'Underground Emperor', he couldn't help but feel hatred and jealousy.
"Thank you for the trust of the official family, the minister must do his best to die, in order to repay the kindness of the official family!"
Gao Yu was overjoyed, and immediately thanked him for confirming the matter.
Now the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty is in charge of three ya, namely the front division of the palace, the horse military division of the guard, and the infantry division of the guard.
The generals who served in the Sanya were collectively known as the Guan Army, and they were the highest-ranking generals in the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty.
There are commanders, deputy commanders and commanders below, a total of nine members, as the commanders of the three ya.
The Sanya has jurisdiction over the forbidden army of the whole country, and the guards and horses and infantry divisions are still nominally in charge of the Xiang army in various places.
Generally, the Privy Council presided over by civil ministers and the three yamen restrained each other, and the three yas unified part of the military forces in order to check each other, and their purpose was to improve and consolidate the imperial power and prevent the military mutiny.
And the palace marshal is the manager of the palace front division, and he is the most important chief general in the three ya, and he is directly responsible for the security of the palace, so he can't help but be unhappy.
