The generals of the West Road stood tall, and several people looked at Huang Jiang.

It seems that they have already said hello outside before.

After entering the palace, how to speak.

Huang Jiang froze and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are too late to save the driver, and the ministers are guilty." ”

Zhao Shuo called the insider again, so he took the initiative to whip himself.

But do you think I can't help it?

You put me in danger, and now that Bianliang City is safe, you have come to ask for merit and reward?

Although Lao Tzu cherishes your ability to lead troops in good battles.

I won't cut off your dog's head, but you can't overdo it, right?

Zhao Shuo suppressed the resentment in his heart and said: "I am surrounded in Bianliang City, and I have long heard of the prestige of the generals in Tongguan. ”

"You Aiqing fought with the Jin army, all the way to Gyeonggi, I am very pleased."

it!

Everyone listened with a look of slump.

Calling this emperor too TM's belly black.

Why do you want them to kill all the way to Bianjing?

It was stationed at Tongguan to watch.

Therefore, the 50,000-strong army of the gold thieves could not advance.

Today, they were able to come to Bianjing City to meet the emperor safe and sound.

It was also when Sticky Han led the army to retreat, and they had such an opportunity.

When the emperor said that, he was obviously implying them.

"Your Majesty, your ministers are ashamed."

Now, these generals have nothing to say.

After all, they thought that the emperor was going to criticize them harshly.

The result was just a mockery of yin and yang.

This was already quite unexpected.

Zhao Shuo didn't want to scold, he received Chen Xinghan just now, and he was in a good mood.

Otherwise, all these generals in front of him can be punished.

After all, they brought with them nearly 200,000 Northwest Army.

Those are the most capable armies of the Great Song Dynasty at present.

As a result, it was blocked by the 50,000 army that had been restored?

If you want to say that there are no flowers and intestines in it, Zhao Shuo will not believe it if he is killed.

And now that the situation has eased slightly, Zhao Shuo will arrange people to the Northwest Army next.

So Zhao Shuo endured it.

Otherwise, with his urine, the head of this court would have been rolling up.

"Your sergeants have returned to the northwest?"

Huang Jiang said: "Back to Your Majesty, we will follow Your Majesty's will and have let the soldiers return to the northwest. ”

"Well, do you know why I summoned you?"

"The ministers don't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

"I ask you, after the siege of Bianliang is lifted this time, how should you plan to return to the northwest?"

？？？

The generals are staring at each other?

What can we do?

Why don't you go back to the station and continue to eat and drink together?

Zhao Shuo said: "The northwest is the strategic hinterland of my Great Song Dynasty, plus it is located on the plateau, and the land of Bashu is the horn of each other. ”

"I plan to focus on the northwest, prepare more military forces there, and use the northwest as a springboard to recover the lost territory in Shanxi, especially Taiyuan and Yanmen military towns."

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of my thoughts?"

When the many generals in front of the palace heard this, they immediately understood.

It's not that the emperor wants to make great efforts, but the fall of Taiyuan City has threatened the emperor's rule.

It's a fact!

Taiyuan is the strategic place of armament in Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass is also a moat guarding the Central Plains.

These two important military towns have helped the major regimes of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times, and I don't know how many times they have resisted foreign attacks.

It was only the rebellion of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms before the opening of the Song Dynasty that Yanmen Pass changed hands.

and then the later Youyun Sixteen Prefectures were lost.

Therefore, the importance of Taiyuan Military Town and Yanmen Pass has been completely magnified.

Both places are now in the hands of the Jin Army.

It means that the Central Plains has lost its natural barrier, and Bianliang City may face the key care of the Jin army from the northwest next time.

But if you can retake Taiyuan from the gold thief.

Then the Great Song Dynasty can completely sit on Bianliang City and Taiyuan, as well as the Tai'an Military Town in Shandong.

Relying on two natural hazards, they hinder each other.

The Jin army will be completely pinned down in the north by the Song Dynasty.

Then the strategic focus of the Great Song Dynasty is to put it in the northern economy.

Those generals in the Northwest Army are all old fritters rolled out of the battlefield with a hob.

They quickly figured out what was great.

At the moment, they all bowed their heads, echoing Zhao Shuo's thoughts and praised: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhao Shuo said: "Old General Huang, there is currently a shortage of manpower in Bianliang City, the old rules have been entrusted by me with important tasks, Li Gang and Zhang Shuye are also in command of the army, and Zong Ze of Hebei must also be reused, the old general of the Western Route Army like you is experienced, so I want you to take the forbidden army." From now on, you don't need to go back to the Northwest. ”

"I will send someone to replace you as commander of the Northwest Army."

Huang Jiang was a hundred unhappy in his heart, but what could he do?

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier.

He was deeply trusted by Song Huizong before.

Song Huizong arranged for him to be in the Northwest Army in order to keep an eye on the Seed Master.

It can be seen that the strength of Song Huizong is narrow.

Now the real person in power in the Great Song Dynasty is Zhao Shuo.

The emperor spoke, and Huang Jiang definitely didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to bow his head and say, "The minister takes the order." ”

In fact, he also knew that as long as the emperor kept himself in Bianliang City this time, he would not let him hold military power again.

And what about the Praetorian Guard?

For Huang Jiang, it can only be in a dream!

Zhao Shuo got the number one person in the Northwest Army, and then there was no need for many others to be too cautious.

He continued: "The generals have made meritorious contributions to the protection of the northwest of my Great Song Dynasty over the years, and I am quite grateful for it, so I also want to keep you in Bianliang City for reuse. However, considering that you all have prestige in the Northwest Army, I still rely on you to take care of the newly appointed commander of the Northwest Army, and I hope that you can obey the arrangements of the imperial court! ”

Zhao Shuo's words like this are just and soft.

He wanted to replace all these people who occupied the pit and didn't.

But that would be too obvious.

If you don't do it, there will be a mutiny.

So I slowly stabilized them.

In the future, we will find people who will find suitable positions, and replace them one by one.

This has another advantage, that is, it does not arouse Huang Jiang's resistance.

Even if he wanted to resist, the court would only target him.

Not for anyone else.

Naturally, the other generals would not speak for Huang Jiang.

This is boiled frog in warm water.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhao Shuo's words, many generals gasped one after another, and said with relief: "Thank you for Your Majesty's cultivation, and you will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations when you go back this time." ”

What you're saying is true.

It's so TM hypocritical.

Zhao Shuo understood very well in his heart.

Among these generals, except for the commander Huang Jiang, who was born in the military, the rest of these commanders from all walks of life are all members of the civilian group.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was not a single conscience among the ten scholars.

So their flattery, Zhao Shuo didn't want to believe a word.
