Chapter 205: Zheng An's recommendation
Song Zhe couldn't understand how Zheng An would recommend a good general to him at this time. There are many good generals in the entire Great Zhao, but in the end, who suppressed the rebellion?! Shut out the Khitan?!
Now that Ningzhou Mansion is in danger, he sent an army of nearly 100,000 people, at least he can't even get close to the edge of Ningzhou Mansion.
They were near Ningzhou Mansion and were defeated by the bandits. There is no support at all. The current Ningzhou Mansion is an isolated city.
As for the Khitan side, not to mention, let alone a good general, it is estimated that even if a tiger general goes up now, it will be in vain.
But no matter what, a dead horse must always be treated as a live horse. Otherwise, the entire Da Zhao may really be over.
"Zheng Aiqing has any good candidates, it's better to listen to it!" Song Zhe hurriedly smiled and said to Zheng An.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember Sun Jiangchao who waited for Jingbian!?" When Zheng An heard this, he looked at Song Zhe with a strange look in his eyes.
As soon as he said this, Song Zhe's eyes showed a sense of astonishment, and also a complicated color.
Of course, Jiang Chao knew that because he wanted to give an explanation to the people of the world, he had to admit his mistake and restore the title of Jingbianhou.
It's just that at that time, he listened to Zheng An's will and acquiesced to Zheng An's idea of killing Jiang Chao.
It's just that the result doesn't seem to be what he expected, Jiang Chao not only didn't die, but also solved the matter of the Yelang clan.
And he almost forgot about Jiang Chao, after all, for such a small role as Jiang Chao, life and death were all in his thoughts.
Since he has already shown himself to the world, there is no need for him to kill Jiang Chao.
At most, that is, when Zheng An wants to kill Jiang Chao, he just helps.
Zheng Shijing failed to humiliate Jiang Chao and was disabled by Jiang Chao, which had long spread in the capital, although Song Zhe was mediocre and incompetent, but these news could still be heard.
He also knew that Zheng An hated Jiang Chao to the bone, but at this time, he actually recommended Jiang Chao, what does this mean? !
But soon, Song Zhe knew Zheng An's plan, and the old boy wanted to borrow his hand again to get rid of Jiang Chao.
With Jiang Chao's ability, he can be called a good general, but he can be regarded as a good general! Whether it is for him to ask for help, if Zheng An does something about it, Jiang Chao will be doomed.
At this critical moment, Zheng An was still doing things for his own selfish interests, and Song Zhe suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"Zheng Guogong, this is the time of life and death, you have to be cautious when you speak, don't challenge my patience!" Song Zhe's voice couldn't help but be a little heavier, with a warning in it.
When Zheng An heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head, but there was a disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't the time to turn his face, how could Zheng An be angry with Song Zhe. But even though he was very unhappy, Zheng An still hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said is definitely for Your Majesty. The current Jiang Chao Jiang Hou Ye has the demeanor of Jing Bian Jiang Lin back then. Not long ago, he wiped out Zhang Tong, one of the four bandits of Anning, with his own strength, and the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses he didn't know where to gather could reach 10,000 troops. If His Majesty asked him to rescue Ningzhou Mansion, he would definitely be able to solve the crisis of Ningzhou Mansion. ”
"In addition to the danger of Ningzhou Mansion, when the time comes, let him go to solve the danger of the border pass, with the more than 2,000 private troops under his command, he is absolutely capable of keeping the Khitan people out. Wechen heard that the army he built can all be a hundred ......"
When Zheng An's words heard Song Zhe's ears, in an instant, Song Zhe's face became gloomy, and he was not happy that Jiang Chao had destroyed Zhang Tong, one of the four bandits of Anning.
But because he heard that Jiang Chao had built a private army of nearly 3,000, all of them had extraordinary combat power. This made him extremely jealous. and suspicion of Jiang Chao.
For an emperor, the army can only be in his own hands, and those who build private armies are definitely dissent.
Even if Jiang Chao's private army can save the entire Great Zhao, Song Zhe will try his best to get rid of it, and he must not let these private armies exist.
When the Yasukuni Gong and Leng Guogong on the side heard this, they secretly said that they were not good, and they were still wondering what Zheng An wanted to do when he recommended Jiang Chao so kindly.
Now, they finally understand the reason, Zheng An's approach is simply murderous.
He seemed to be recommending Jiang Chao, but in fact, he was letting Jiang Chao arouse the jealousy of Emperor Song Zhe. Once the emperor is afraid of the river tide, the river tide is not far from death.
Since ancient times, the emperor's most taboo thing is to build a private army. If someone else said that Jiang Chao built a private army, it is estimated that the emperor may be suspicious.
However, Song Zhe's confidants and most trusted courtiers like Zheng An said that Emperor Song Zhe had already believed most of them at the first time.
Next, it's time for verification.
"Since Zheng Aiqing said it, then I will give an order to let Jiang Chao lead his private army to aid Ningzhou Mansion. As long as he can hold Ningzhou Mansion and repel the bandits, Lian personally will give his private army a name. Establishment of a military system ......"
Song Zhe said to Zheng An with a strange look in his eyes.
When Zheng An heard this, a strange sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
His goal has been achieved, no matter whether Jiang Chao can survive this turmoil or not, Jiang Chao has only a dead end.
For this henchman, but let Zheng An find a good solution.
Let the emperor issue a holy decree to force Jiang Chao to fight, and when the time comes, he only needs to set up an ambush on Jiang Chao's way to Zhoufu. Jiang Chao and his private army are definitely a dead end in the end.
Even if, in the end, he defended Zhoufu, and when Jiang Chao was sent to the border to fight against the Khitans, Zheng An also had a way to put Jiang Chao to death.
When the Duke of Yasukuni and the Duke of Leng Guo on the side heard this, they glanced at each other, shook their heads, and sighed.
Regardless of whether Jiang Chao is really a private army, or what, after this time, Jiang Chao is afraid that he will follow in his grandfather's footsteps, and finally die unjustly at the hands of Song Zhe and Zheng An.
They wanted to say a few words for Jiang Chao, but when the words came to their mouths and swallowed them back, they could only silently feel guilty about Jiang Chao's grandfather in their hearts.
It's not that they don't want to help Jiang Chao, it's that they can't help. Don't look at the emperor, it seems that he trusts them very much, and he also consults with them on military affairs.
But the only one who can really influence Song Zhe's thoughts is Zheng An, and Emperor Song Zhe's trust in Zheng An has reached a blind point.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be until now, Song Zhe hadn't discovered Zheng An's wolf ambitions.
They only hoped that Jiang Chao would survive Zheng An's ruse. But if you want to survive Zheng An's calculations, it is not easy to say.
I'm afraid that Ningzhou Mansion alone will not be easy to solve, and it is useless for the officials and troops of several surrounding provinces to support in the past, so with less than 3,000 people with Jiang Chao, can he protect Xiazhou Mansion with hundreds of thousands of troops!?
This is simply a fool's dream, or a fantasy! It's impossible!
