It can be seen that this person is still in love with the Northwest Army.

Historically, Chen Xinghan was a hero of the Great Song Dynasty and the founder of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Because in the Southern Song Dynasty, Shaanxi and parts of Shanxi were still in the hands of the Song Dynasty.

Because of this, Zhao Gou was able to be the emperor of peace in Nanjing for so long.

The golden thief estimated the Northwest Army, so he did not dare to make a desperate move to the south.

Otherwise, how could they think that the snake was talking to Zhao Gou for peace?

In addition, it is precisely because of the stability of the Northwest Army that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong had room to grow in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, after passing through the Western Route Army, Zhao Shuo has positioned Chen Xinghan as the most suitable candidate.

Not one of them.

Chen Xinghan is a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo said: "I agree with what Chen Aiqing said, but I think that Shaanxi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is the Northwest Gobi as a moat, so we must develop it blatantly." The best thing is to let the gold thieves know that we are focusing on the northwest, so as to buy more time for the north. ”

"Your Majesty."

"That's it!" Zhao Shuo suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, and he looked at Chen Xinghan for a long time.

"Chen Xinghan."

"The lower official is here."

"I intend to let you consolidate the northwest, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Chen Xinghan's eyes radiated with excitement, but that light quickly dimmed.

"Your Majesty, Xia Guan is from the northwest, and of course he dreams of consolidating the northwest. It's just that the lower official is the chief bookkeeper of the military department, and he can't be such a big responsibility. ”

"It's not something you have to think about. Listen, I now worship you as the commander of the Western Theater of Operations, with the rank of squire of the leading troops, which is the same as the old rules. ”

"Chen Aiqing, now you should be able to take office with confidence, right?"

Listening to Zhao Shuo's words.

Chen Xinghan's cheeks were sluggish, and he was confused at the moment.

"What? You don't want to? ”

"No!" Chen Xinghan suddenly came back to his senses, and knelt down in fear and said: "Your Majesty's grace, the minister is grateful, and the minister will definitely revitalize the northwest to repay the emperor's kindness." ”

Then he bowed three times to Zhao Shuo.

For a while, Zhao Shuo was stunned by him.

The Great Song Dynasty is no better than other dynasties.

Especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Shenzong, Song Huizong and other accessible kings almost did not need civil and military officials to kneel and worship.

Even in the early dynasties, officials of the Song Dynasty did not need to kneel.

Now Chen Xinghan knelt down and bowed three times and bowed nine times, which was excitement from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Shuo stepped forward, bent down and patted Chen Xinghan's shoulder and said, "Aiqing, please get up quickly." ”

"The northwest is the last strategic buffer of my Great Song Dynasty, I entrust it to you, that is, the last hope of the Great Song Dynasty is pressed on you, you go to the northwest, you must work hard, don't let me down, let the people of the Great Song Dynasty disappoint."

"Your Majesty, even if the minister is full of liver and brains, he will never let His Majesty down."

Chen Xinghan was surprised and delighted.

"Aiqing, you have to take care of yourself when you go to the northwest, no matter what Aiqing has to choose, you will give me a break as soon as possible. I'll do it for you. ”

Zhao Shuo's words were not simply reassuring him.

It's that Zhao Shuo is really worried about Chen Xinghan's safety.

After all, that's Shaanxi!

Most of the region borders the countries of the Western Regions.

To put it bluntly, that is the border of the western part of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, although the Northwest Army and Western Xia and other countries have withdrawn their troops and ceased war, they are still at odds with each other.

In addition, there are too many gangs and gangs in the Northwest Army, and infighting has almost become commonplace.

Not to mention xenophobia.

Just imagine, a year ago, the Northwest Army had a kind of family army, a folding family army, a Yao family army and other army generals.

So many people gathered in one pot and stirred.

When a person like Chen Xinghan went to the northwest, it was simply a little golden egg that fell into the wolf's den.

Therefore, Zhao Shuo was worried from the bottom of his heart.

However, considering that the major armies of the Northwest Army have already arrived.

Then Zhao Shuo took the opportunity to solve those potential troubles for Chen Xinghan.

Chen Xinghan also knows how powerful it is.

After listening to Zhao Shuo's words, he was moved.

"Chen Aiqing, I will go to the Vertical Arch Hall to meet the commanders of the Northwest Army, you can come with me."

"The minister commands."

At this time, Chen Xinghan still spoke with an obvious trill.

He felt completely like he had a dream today.

Yes, it just doesn't feel realistic.

That's.

Suddenly, he jumped from a small six-rank official to a feudal official of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if the chicken dog ascends to heaven, it is not so fast!

After about a cup of tea, Chen Xinghan cautiously followed Zhao Shuo into the Vertical Arch Hall.

At this time, the generals of the Northwest Army had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.

Zhao Shuo bowed slightly towards Li Huai.

Li Huai turned around and walked out of the palace gate, cleared his throat and shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree to pass on the generals to enter the palace to meet you." ”

And the members of the Wude Division led by Gao Yu had already guarded the gate of the palace, and handed down the swords of the generals who entered the palace one after another.

As for Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo's face was full of majesty at this time.

I couldn't tell if I was happy or angry.

In fact, Zhao Shuo was angry.

After all, the Northwest Army was intrigued and shirked on the front line of Tongguan.

That annoyed him tremendously.

And today, Zhao Shuo summoned those generals not to discuss with them how to revitalize the northwest.

Because even if they knew, they wouldn't really do it.

What was the purpose of the summons?

In fact, it is to stabilize the hearts of these proud soldiers.

By the way, in front of them, he handed over the power to Chen Xinghan.

The focus is on the four words 'handing over power in person'.

If Chen Xinghan wants to do something in the northwest, the supreme authority must be given.

Otherwise, how could he be able to suppress so many proud soldiers?

Coming, they came in.

The first to come in was Huang Jiang, the general envoy of the Northwest Army.

This guy used to be a subordinate of the old breed.

The family army was wiped out, but this guy was alive and well.

It's just that he didn't go to war with the army at all.

Following Huang Jiang was Liu Yuzhou, the former vanguard of the Northwest Army.

He was followed by the right-wing general Duan Zheng and the left-wing general Li Yuanting.

This Li Yuanting has to give a special explanation, he is the cavalry general who has fought the most battles against Western Xia.

So it has quite a lot of practical experience.

This was followed by the generals Zhao Dian, Wang Yi and Li Zhen, the commander of the Jinghe River.

The generals took off their armor and swords and entered the hall of the arch.

Zhao Shuo looked at it and called it an expert.

Good guys, this is really the core team of the Northwest Army has gathered.

In ancient times, Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a cup of wine, and today he Zhao Shuo will come to an empty mouth to unload the military power.

Huang Jiang, the commander of the Northwest Army, stood in front of the hall and led everyone to bow down and salute: "The last general will meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

Zhao Shuo said: "The generals are exempt. ”
