Chapter 941: It's all waste
A generation of emperors doesn't care about this, he is just a general, or a degraded general, what else is there to fear.
Finally, when he couldn't sleep one night, Di Qing suddenly figured it out, he decided to follow Su Shi's example, he wanted to do his part for the rise of the Han people, and he also wanted to rebel against Zhao Song.
As for doing this, whether someone will scold him for being a traitor, right or wrong, leave it to future generations to comment.
After making a decision, Di Qing found Lu Zifei and other henchmen in the tent, and after he expressed his attitude very simply, the people below were also excited. In fact, these people have long figured it out, in the final analysis, they are just ordinary generals, and their minds are simple, thinking that soldiers should go into battle to kill the enemy, and other things are not something they should worry about.
It is precisely because there are fewer ideas that there are fewer worries. It's just that Di Qing hasn't let go all this time, and in order not to put too much pressure on their own generals, they haven't asked questions. Well, now that Di Qing has figured it out, and it is still the same as their thoughts, of course everyone is fully supportive.
Di Qing's statement was quickly approved by everyone. Then the next step is to do all the preparatory work, and begin to deliberately guide these new soldiers in the training of recruits. I originally thought that such preparations would take a while, but I didn't expect that Su Shi would destroy the Western Xia so quickly, and the speed of entering the western realm of the Zhao and Song dynasties would still be so fast.
Su Shi is coming, and Di Qing is naturally ready to greet him. As soon as the vanguard of the Dragon Army entered the Yongxing Military Road, not far from Hezhong Mansion, Di Qing brought someone to greet him in person.
This time, Di Qing was not empty-handed, he also brought a meeting gift, which can also be called a letter of nomination, that is, Wang Deyong and Wang Decheng, two brothers.
The two were very unlucky, before they took office, there was a problem in the west, they were afraid that they would be held accountable, and they were even more afraid that they would be punished, so they simply decided to go to Suzhou and defect to Li Tang. How can it be said that they were also high-level officials of Zhao Song before, and they knew a lot about Zhao Song.
Thinking about it, with some secrets he knows, even if he will not be reused by Li Tang, he will not do anything against them. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the vicinity of Hezhong Mansion, he was discovered by the scouts sent by Di Qing, and after learning who was coming, Di Qing, who had already decided to turn against Zhao Song, made a decisive move.
When Di Qing appeared in front of Wang Deyong's team with five hundred cavalry, the privy envoy was scared in his heart, and on the surface he pretended to be very calm and wanted to be held accountable. It's just a pity that Di Qing is already ready to join the Dragon Empire, and this privy envoy of Zhao Song can't control him anymore.
A hands-on order was issued, and five hundred cavalry surrounded it, and the moment the arrows were aimed at Wang Deyong and Wang Decheng, the two high-ranking Wang brothers knew what was called Tiger Falling Pingyang and what was called the hand of justice.
These two people, who also wanted to defect to the enemy, soon became prisoners. Di Qing wanted to give them to Su Shi as a meeting gift.
The Dragon Army was still responsible for fighting the front war, and it was the Fourth People's Army that came, and there was a regiment, the regiment commander Liang Jun.
This scout, who was only a company commander not long ago, took Douling without bloodshed, followed the secret into Xi'an Prefecture, and controlled Zhe Jimin, making the dragons in the west leaderless, making the stationing of the dragon army much easier, which can be said to have made a great contribution.
Meritorious service is rewarded, from company commander to regiment commander, it was only completed by him in a short period of time. This is a kind of welfare given to soldiers by the war, and under the promotion of the line of fire, Liang Jun became the head of Liang.
Liang Jun had never seen Di Qing before, but he had admired his name for a long time. When he saw the real person of General Mian Ni, he reported to the top through the walkie-talkie, and after getting the consent of his superiors, the two sides joined forces and went straight to Hezhong Mansion.
In the process of traveling, as a pioneer group, Liang Jun learned a lot about the military situation in the Central Plains of the Zhao and Song dynasties from Di Qing's mouth, and the results surprised him greatly.
Since Li Tang suddenly got into trouble, after occupying the Suzhou area, Zhao Song did not turn a blind eye to it, but transferred a lot of troops before and after, so that the Central Plains region was empty, according to Di Qing said, the big and small Song cities on the way to Suzhou, except for leaving some old and weak to maintain law and order in the city, there was no real strong army.
The Liang army was naturally happy to learn the news, and hurriedly reported the battle situation to the top again, and the army commander Hu Yanqing hurriedly asked Su Shi after learning the news, and soon a new order was issued, so that the Liang army and Di Qing would be the vanguard and occupy the large and small cities along the way to Suzhou.
Di Qing was ordered to reorganize the army with the existing army, the number of which could be controlled at about 85,000 people, and the number was called the Seventh Army of the People's Army. Grain, grass, baggage, and other items will also be sent later.
This was appointed as the Dragon Emperor's *** commander, Di Qing was naturally excited, and he also knew from Liang Jun's mouth that there was a commander of a group army above the army commander, which was a commander who could lead 250,000 troops.
Di Qing was born to fight wars, and the more people he could bring, the better, so he set his sights on the position of the commander of the group army. In his heart, he is not convinced by anyone in the war, and others can become commanders, so why can't he?
Di Qing, who had the fighting spirit, received the order immediately, and then, the People's Seventh Army became the pioneer, and after only two days of reorganization by Hezhong Prefecture, it quickly assembled and headed straight for Suzhou.
Thanks to the preparations made before, 85,000 people are not difficult to get together, although most of them are mainly recruits, but they are playing the banner of the dragon army that is in the limelight, all the way, after entering Henan Mansion, it is like entering a no-man's land, all the cities crossed, none of them resisted, and all surrendered.
......
Bianliang City.
The entry of the dragon army, the chaos in the west, and the little resistance finally came, and for a time the entire Zhao Song Kingdom was shocked.
All the courtiers were shocked by the sudden news.
According to their assumptions, Su Shi did not have the courage to enter the land of Zhao and Song.
Even if there were, it wouldn't be so fast. Before the two sides have negotiated, the dragon army has taken action, this is an undeclared war, this is a shameful sneak attack.
As a member of the Han people, isn't Su Shi afraid of the accusations of the world when he does this?
When the incident happened, Zhao Yunrang hurriedly convened a court meeting as King Pu, and the court was full of reprimands and angry scolding.
It's a pity that these people can do this, and their scolding can't reach Su Shi's ears at all, and it has no effect at all.
Seeing that it had been more than an hour, and the ministers were still angrily scolding Su Shi for all kinds of wrongs, Zhao Yunrang finally couldn't help but open his mouth, "Okay, there is no point in accusing Su Shi now, the western border is about to be breached, Di Qing, a rebel general, has also rebelled, and now he has entered Henan Mansion, which is not far from us, let's talk about it, what to do next."
Scolding, in many cases, is a way to vent your feelings, and it does not play a role in solving things.
The scolding was stopped, and when Zhao Yunrang asked about the actual solution to the matter, the ministers suddenly became speechless.
What's next? The foreign enemies have all been killed, so shouldn't the generals find a way? What is the use of asking them at this time?
Could it be that he pointed them to get on their horses and carry swords to kill the enemy?
Don't make trouble, they use their mouths, make a trip, play conspiracy, and intrigue are okay, so it's okay to point them to do something practical.
The ministers became dumb one by one, and in desperation, Zhao Yunrang had to set his eyes on the side of the generals, but unfortunately, there was still a sound of silence in exchange.
When Zhao Zhen was in power, the status of military generals became extremely low.
Often whoever leads the army to fight will become the most vigilant person of the emperor, and the other courtiers can't help the right, but the ability to help the bad is a top three. Whether they are jealous or envious, in short, whoever leads the troops to fight, these courtiers will keep an eye on whom, and the slightest excesses will be impeached continuously.
When, the general who commanded the army is taken down, and there is a new person, when will they keep an eye on the new man to continue the impeachment.
After the cycle, the backbone of the generals has long been broken, and the remaining generals above the court are also passable one by one, but they only hang the name of the general, but they dare not do the general's business.
Now that something is wrong, pointing to such a person to block the Dragon Army is tantamount to a fantasy, and it is simply unrealistic.
The generals didn't say anything here, and Zhao Yunrang's face became ugly. What kind of courtiers are these, they usually put righteousness on their lips, and they look like they can be loyal to the country at any time, but when they are really needed, they all retreat one by one, are they worthy of the high amount of money they get every year?
was angry in his heart, that is, these people did not take the initiative to answer, Zhao Yun began to name him, and the military generals of the DPRK and Zhong, who followed one by one, called him out, but all of them lowered their heads, and in one sentence, the last general was incompetent, so he left the matter completely behind.
"Waste, all waste." Zhao Yunrang was really angry, and he was angry in his heart, but he still had to do it, and he finally set his eyes on Chen Zhizhong, the secretary of the ministry.
"Chen Shangshu, you know the situation in the Western Realm, how should we deal with it now?" Zhao Yunrang looked over with a threatening look.
Standing in the pile of courtiers, Chen Zhizhong, who had already put his head very low, was still named, which made him suddenly feel that his head was big. At this time, he raised his head to meet Zhao Yunrang's eyes, and when he saw that there was a murderous intent in his expression, he knew that he had to say something.
The chaos in the western border has reached such a point, and he, the former principal of the western border, is also responsible. If he has no way this time, I am afraid that Zhao Yunrang will settle old accounts with him, and if he doesn't make a good one, he may be punished in court.
