Chapter 57: The Huaixi Military Mutiny

Suzhou City, when it was getting late, the city gate was closed early.

The government has already packed up, and the two envoys who originally stayed in their own camp have now moved in together, after all, it is Zhao Guan's family who is here in person, no matter how simple it is, the things that should be prepared still have to be prepared.

For example, a big wine is not only to catch the wind and wash the dust, but also to let a few generals who have been tense for half a year be able to slow down a little.

After all, when the emperor comes, the backbone of the main heart is also there, and they no longer have to make their own decisions, and they don't have to worry about doing everything wrong.

Liu Banggao sat on it, everything that should be said had already been said, Bozhou is different from Yingzhou, Yingzhou can be bypassed, you can ignore it for the time being, and you can't get around here.

If the 100,000 horses of the two Huai Zhang Junbu and the two Ya want to go to Kaifeng, this is the only way, if you don't take the road from here, take the road from other places, the distance will be at least doubled, and there are large and small cities along the road, and the defenders of all roads...... Even if it passed smoothly, the loss of the soldiers would definitely be much more than if they were to go from Bozhou.

So Li Qiong must die.

He only knew that there was such a thing as the Huaixi Military Mutiny, and he also knew that this matter had far-reaching implications, but after all, it was not a good thing, and this matter not only involved the emperor himself, but also almost all the people who can now be counted in the court, so even Xin Ciying was a little biased intentionally or unintentionally when describing this matter.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of truth-tellers around him, such as Pharmacist Guo...... This old thing likes to see the emperor eat deflated the most, but he has no position, and when Liu Bang asked him, he quickly told the matter from a fairly objective point of view.

It is said that when Shaoxing was seven years old, Zhao Gou, who had been an emperor for many years, received a message from the Jin State-

Your dad is gone.

If it's gone, it's gone, Zhao Laojiu was already ready to plan for his father and brother to die in the north, if it's just like this, it's nothing, but this news has a premise that makes people angry-

It was gone two years ago.

Although Lao Jiu is not favored, he doesn't have much father-son affection for his father, but his father is his father, and his son is his son, you say that he is not touched at all, it must be impossible, sad or bad, he must have hidden a lot of unwillingness in his heart, but at the same time, he is also relieved.

At this moment, the throne is really half stable.

At this time, Yue Pengju, who had been shouting for many years to welcome back the two saints, was also rarely silenced, in addition, there was news that Jin Renli's pseudo-Qi was about to be abolished, anyway, all kinds of news came, and Zhao Gou was very happy.

He was so happy that he called Yue Fei in front of him and told him: "The affairs of the Northern Expedition will be handed over to you in the future, except for Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, who are not controlled by you, and all the soldiers and horses in the world are under your control." ”

When Yue Fei heard this, he went to Lingyin Temple to burn incense the next day, only saying that the Buddha and Bodhisattva here were very spiritual, and he was going to repay his wishes.

At that time, the soldiers and horses in the world were divided into five parts, namely Han Shizhong's front guard army, Liu Guangshi's left guard army, Wu Jue's right guard army, Zhang Jun's middle guard army and Yue Fei's rear guard army.

In this way, Zhao Gou personally went out and was the first to relieve Liu Guangshi of military power...... More than 50,000 troops, as well as 20,000 men, 5,000 crossbowmen, and 3,000 cavalry...... Although Liu Guangshi is the commander and can only escape, his subordinates are all people who can fight well, some from the Western Army, such as Wang De, some who have fought with the Jin people in Hebei all the year round, such as Li Qiong, and countless thieves and robbers, rogue bandits, and the composition is also quite complicated.

And this is just the martial arts force at that time, and the one who can really call the shots is actually the prime minister Zhang Jun who is in charge of the world's military.

Since Emperor Taizu, this dynasty has always been a martial artist, can these Qiu Ba be trusted? !

Zhao Guanjia has forgotten, who are you ruling the world with?!

If Yue Fei is like this, then even if the north is beaten back, can the Zhao official family guarantee that the north of the Huai River will still be able to continue to have the surname Zhao?!

Under Zhang Xiangye's half-threatening and half-persuasion, the wise Lao Jiu quickly changed his mind and handed over Liu Guangshi's troops to Zhang Jun.

And Zhang Jun was very happy, and called Yue Fei to show off, and asked him:

"Wang De is a very brave person, there is no one in the Huaixi Army who disobeys him, I plan to let him be the commander of this army, and then let Lu Zhi, the secretary of the military department, supervise the army, this genius personnel arrangement, you must be in favor of it with both hands, right?"

Yue Fei replied to him: "There are many rebels and thieves in the Huaixi army, and the chaos is just a matter of rebellion, Wang De and Li Qiong have always been unconvinced of each other, and Taiwei Liu used to use this to make them fight for merit...... If I were to say it, it would be better to find a prestigious future to serve as this errand, otherwise, this left guard army may be unpredictable. ”

It's no wonder that Yue Fei's mouth was opened, it was really the situation at that time, in fact, many people could see it clearly, but if they saw it clearly, they could see it clearly, what kind of person the emperor was, and what kind of person Zhang Jun was, everyone knew it thoroughly.

That's not the one to talk to!

It's Yue Fei, if other people are asked by Zhang Jun, they must agree with it.

Zhang Jun asked him again: "What about Zhang Jun?" ”

Yue Fei said: "Zhang Jun is my old leader, I shouldn't have said bad things about him, but he is violent and unscrupulous, and Li Qiong has always been unconvinced, if he comes, I'm afraid it won't be reassuring." ”

Zhang Jun asked again: "How is Yang Yizhong?" ”

Yue Fei said: "Yang Yi is young, easy to be short-sighted, his talent is not mediocre, where can he be the commander of the left guard." ”

Zhang Jun smiled angrily: "I know that no one can do it, just you, don't you just want to let you come." ”

Yue Fei Zhengse: "It's the governor who wants to ask me, I don't dare not tell the truth, where do I dare to think of coming by myself?" ”

Zhang Jun told the emperor about this, which naturally added fuel and vinegar, Zhao Gou tossed and turned, and wrote a letter to threaten Yue Fei, saying:

"You must know your position clearly, otherwise, those who violate our law will only have sword ears."

Yue Fei was also stubborn, and directly handed in the resignation letter, and quit.

Although Yue Fei was still invited out later, within a few months, Li Qiong did what Yue Fei said, and cut off the head of Lu Zhi, the secretary of the military department of the supervising army, and really reversed.

Li Qiong's reversal, the two Huai defense lines instantly emptied a large piece of the line, so frightened that Zhao Gou almost continued to get on the boat and fled south, and later Zhao Gou remembered the relationship between Yue Fei and Li Qiong, and hurriedly wrote to Yue Fei and said:

"Wen Qiong is in the same township as Qing, and she is not satisfied with Qing's prestige...... You hurry up and write to him to come back, don't ask about everything about the criminals before, and be a superior official, even more so before! ”

A few days ago, he said that 'those who violate my law are only sword ears', and now he has become a superior official, and even more so before, no one knows what Yue Fei thought when he saw this letter, but the Huaixi military mutiny just like that, under the condition that he said the law, happened.

As a result, Wang De still didn't on Li Qiong's head, although he wanted to do so, Li Qiong took away more than 40,000 people, leaving him only 8,000 descendants, and he also transferred from Liu Guangshi's command to Zhang Jun's command.

Zhang Jun and Zhang Xiangye, who were fully responsible for this matter, promoted Qin Hui to the center, and went to the local government to be an idle official.

Zhao Ding Zhao Xiangye, who was in charge of internal affairs, although he squeezed out Zhang Jun, but after all, this person was also brought out by him, although the political views did not agree, but Zhao Xiangye had no hatred for him, but the appearance of Qin Hui soon made the emperor's eyes shine and released Zhao Ding.

Emperor Zhao Gou Zhao, who had just given birth to the ambition of a silk man, was instantly wiped out because of this mutiny, and deeply realized that the national disaster of the Great Song Kingdom was not outside, but inside, and he no longer dared to say anything about who to hand over the military power, and the blood of the Zhao family engraved in his bones was also completely awakened, and the work of defending martial arts such as tigers was also carried out with the help of Qin Xiangye.

The rest, Liu Guangshi won't say anything, there is a saying that the whale falls and everything is born, and the only remaining people and horses of the left guard army were eaten by Zhang Jun, and smart people, such as Han Shizhong, finally understood the emperor's intentions.

This matter ended in a sloppy end, although it was afraid of touching the emperor so few people mentioned it, but its impact was far-reaching, almost affecting the national fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty.

To this day, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Song Kingdom has stopped in Suzhou, which can also be regarded as one of the consequences of this incident.

"Who's that, just drink almost, and then it's going to be dark later, so it's hard to get down to business."

Sitting below, there was also an uninvited guest who came today, this person clearly had no hair and was wearing a monk's robe, but he said that he was a Taoist priest.

Liu Bang told him that the Taoist priest was not like him, and that he was dressed as a monk, but the Taoist priest said:

"You're in the picture."

"And if it weren't for this dress, I would have appeared in front of you today, and all the people in Bozhou would have known about it in two hours."

Liu Bang didn't understand what he meant, but this person said that he was very famous in places like Bozhou, Suzhou, and Guide, and if the emperor wanted to take Bozhou, he must invite him to drink a good wine and eat a good meal.

The weird Liu Bang doesn't know how many he has seen, generally like this kind of person, there has always been something on his body, otherwise, this kind of person would have died a thousand and eight hundred times.

It's just a meal and a meal, and he can afford it, so he called him over, but he has been eating for an hour, and the dishes have been heated eight times, but this old boy is still just eating, and he doesn't say a word about how to do or what to do, which makes Liu Bang a little puzzled......

Isn't it really eaten for nothing?

The Taoist chief below was eating on his head, and when he heard the emperor's words, he lifted the hem of the monk's robe and wiped his mouth:

"You are the co-owner of the world, and you still feel sorry for this little thing."

"It's natural to be distressed, but you kid just eat and drink, and you don't talk about business at all, and Lao Tzu can't even ask?"

The Taoist priest smiled: "You are really interesting to say. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed three times to Liu Bang:

"Xiaodao's surname is Liu Mingzhan, a person from Bozhou, who has been in Suzhou for a year, and finally looks forward to you."

Liu Bang nodded, he didn't expect it to be a surname Liu again, seeing Yang Yizhong and Zhao Mi, several people, including Xin Ciying, were a little moved, knowing that they should have heard this person's name, and thinking that he might be his descendant, and his face was much better looking.

"Stayed for a year...... You waited here for me a year ago? At that time, no one knew that the Song Kingdom was going to go on a northern expedition, so you kid don't have to tell some lies. ”

Liu Zhan said: "Don't dare to bully the king, it's really a year...... To be precise, fifteen years ago, when Tokyo was broken, the trail was waiting here. ”

Liu Bang looked at this Taoist priest, he only used the top of his head to face himself, and he didn't know what kind of expression it was, so he took advantage of the efforts to add wine to the emperor, Huang Yanjie said in a low voice:

"This is quite famous in Lianghuai, known as Yingning Jushi...... I heard that he has many friends, all of whom are officials in the Jin Imperial Court. ”

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Huang Yanjie withdrew to the side with the wine jug and didn't say anything more.

"I believe in you!"

Liu Bang only said two or three words to him, and then directly made such a conclusion, which made Liu Zhan himself a little surprised.

"It's not too late for you to ask others and find out more clearly."

He only saw the emperor wave his hand: "If you have different intentions, the more dangerous I will be, the more dangerous I will be, the more careful I will be, the more careful I will be, and the more vigilant I will be, the safer I will be." ”

"So the more dangerous, the safer ......"

Although he didn't know how the emperor made this inference, Liu Zhan only felt that it was very reasonable, although he faintly felt that something was wrong, but now was not the time for him to delve into this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for believing in Xiaodao, Xiaodao has a lot of things to say, but now I suddenly don't want to say it."

"It's better to wait for the city of Bozhou to break, and then talk to Your Majesty in detail."

Those who know Liu Zhan have already begun to talk about him at this time:

"In front of the saints, don't ask the layman to hold it up."

Unexpectedly, Liu Bang didn't care, he just said:

"Fine, but I have one more question for you."

"Your Majesty, may I ask."

"Since you've waited so long, why did you come out now, it's because Yang Yizhong and Zhao Mi are not worthy?"

Liu Zhan laughed: "Yes and no." ”

"Let's be clear."

"There are only a few people in the Song Kingdom who can make the people of Bozhou happy and convinced, Yue Pengju can't come, and Uncle Liu Xin can't come, only you can come...... It must be known that the difficulty in this Bozhou is not that the city is high and the walls are thick, but that it is difficult in the hearts of 100,000 people. ”

Liu Zhan said while observing the emperor's expression, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he added:

"If you don't have any other questions, Xiaodao will go with General Wang."

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Bang finally became right...... His eyes lit up, and his lips moved slightly, not knowing what he was reading.

Only Huang Yanjie, who was closer, could hear it clearly, and what the emperor was reading was clearly that-

"Amitabha".
