It's so arrogant!

Fang La was called the emperor, and he was not so arrogant.

He personally led the cavalry to show off his martial arts and circled around the city of Tokyo, captured the prime minister alive, and then put it back to send a message to the emperor.

This is simply a slap in the face of Song Huizong in front of the world, and it is no wonder that he is so angry.

Song Huizong's face was pale, his heart was shocked and angry, he looked around at the important ministers of the hall, and said in a cold tone: "Who can lead the troops to quell the rebellion?" ”

The Lord humiliates his ministers to death!

Now that he, the emperor, has been so humiliated by a thief, it is time for the courtiers to be loyal.

However, there was silence in the main hall, and no one dared to speak out.

What kind of jokes, the 100,000 Western Army has been defeated, who is sure of victory?

At this moment, the nobles who were on duty outside the hall reported: "Your Majesty, Tong Guogong has arrived outside the palace." ”

"Hurry up!"

Song Huizong hurriedly ordered.

After a while, a burly figure stepped into the main hall.

I have to say that Tong Guan, as a eunuch, is really outstanding in appearance and temperament.

He was a burly man with a bushy beard, showing his heroic spirit.

"Chen Tongguan, meet Your Majesty!"

Tong Guanlong walked and walked tigers, bowed and saluted, and his voice was loud and magnetic.

is both an internal servant and so outstanding, it is no wonder that Song Huizong loves and trusts him so much.

"Aiqing, please get up."

Song Huizong raised his hand falsely, and then said in a deep voice: "Aiqing should know about the anti-thief, right?" ”

Tong Guan nodded: "The minister has heard of it." ”

Song Huizong asked, "Does Aiqing have a countermeasure?" ”

He's scared!

Jinan Mansion is too close to Kaifeng Mansion, only separated by a Daimyo Mansion, which is only four or five hundred miles away.

The most important thing is that there is no natural danger between the two places.

The only thing that can be called a natural danger is the Yellow River twenty miles away from Beijing.

But this year's winter is too cold, and the surging Yellow River is frozen in ice, so you can easily cross the river by choosing a narrow part of the river.

Today it is four or five thousand cavalry, and the next time, I am afraid it will be an army of 100,000!

Hearing this, Tong Guan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Hebei Forbidden Army is stationed in Yanyun, the Southern Forbidden Army has long been eroded and unbearable to fight. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to requisition the Western Army from the Northwest Fifth Road! ”

Although Tong Guan was ambitious and talented, he fought with the Tangut people in the northwest for 20 years.

Twenty years, even a pig has opened up.

Even if it is not as good as mainstays such as Yang Weizhong and Liu Zhongwu, it is countless times stronger than these civil servants in the court who can only talk eloquently and talk on paper.

Song Huizong said: "I have decreed that the Seed Master Dao will be appointed as the major of the inspection school, the envoy of the Jingyan Army, and the envoy of the Gyeonggi Hebei system, and ordered him to lead 30,000 Western troops to defend the Beijing Division. ”

"30,000 soldiers and horses are not enough, Your Majesty can order people to recruit 50,000 villagers in Jianghuai, Jinghu, and Jingbei Road, step up training, and send another capable minister to the Daimyo's Mansion to collect the remnants of the army. Ordered the seed master Dao to lead the troops to guard the Xingren Mansion and Kaide Mansion, so that the 100,000 army of Chen Bing Sanfu can show a horn trend and block the road to the south of the anti-thieves! Tong Guan made a plan.

The anti-thieves are ferocious, and the counteroffensive is impossible for the time being, so the plan for now is to curb the way of the anti-thieves to the south and keep Gyeonggi safe.

As for the other states in Shandong, the imperial court could not help.

There's no way, there's no soldier available.

The two Northern Expeditions the year before last not only exhausted all the family funds accumulated since Emperor Shenzong, but also caused heavy casualties to the Western Army and the Hebei Forbidden Army.

And now the 100,000 Western Army that has been defeated is still a group of recruits urgently recruited by Seed Master Dao and others the year before last.

The Western Army does still have more than 100,000 troops, but it can't all be transferred back, regardless of Western Xia?

Most of the Hebei forbidden army is stationed in the land of Yanyun, and it will not be able to move for a while.

……

Listening to Tong Guan's analysis for a while, Song Huizong's flustered heart finally calmed down and asked, "Does Aiqing have a recommended candidate?" ”

Tong Guan groaned: "Weichen recommends Yang Weizhong, this person is old and serious, guarding the Daimyo's Mansion, and can protect Gyeonggi without fail." ”

Hearing this, Song Huizong said faintly: "Aiqing doesn't know, has Yang Weizhong been captured by the anti-thieves?" ”

"This ......"

Tong Guan was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Song Huizong instructed: "Liang Shicheng, tell Tong Guogong about the detailed battle report." ”

"On December 20 last year, Liu Guangshi led 10,000 western troops and 30,000 prisoners of war.

"On December 22 of last year, Wang Yuan led 20,000 elite soldiers to aid the new town, but was ambushed halfway, defeated, and Wang Yuan was captured."

"On December 25 last year, Zhang Jun led 10,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 prisoners of war to fight with the thieves outside Xinshi Town, and was defeated.

"On the third day of the first month of this year, Yang Weizhong led the main force of the Western Army of more than 50,000 and 30,000 prisoners of war to meet the rebels in the twenty-mile plain outside Licheng, and was defeated, Yang Weizhong, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue and other generals were captured, Zhang Jun led 7,000 remnants of the army to break through the siege, fled to Yucheng, and joined Liang Fangping."

"At present, the latest battle report has not yet been delivered, but since the thieves have killed Tokyo City, it means that Liang Fangping is also unlucky. 100,000 Western troops, not one out of ten! ”

Gollum!

The courtiers in the main hall swallowed their saliva.

They only knew about the defeat of the Western Army, but they did not know the detailed battle report.

When I heard this, I was horrified.

This is no longer a big defeat, but a real fiasco.

Tong Guan's face was solemn, and a storm was set off in his heart.

This fiasco was even worse than the Northern Expedition of the 150,000 Western Army he commanded two years ago.

This thief is even more ferocious than the Liao?

Without waiting for Tong Guan to react, he saw Song Huizong instructing: "I want to let Tong Guogong sit in the Daimyo's Mansion, can I?" ”

When it came to this, Tong Guan had no room to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and bow down and respond: "The order of the Weichen will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”

……

……

As Qingzhou Daily was sold to all prefectures and counties, the news of the disastrous defeat of the 100,000 Western Army also spread all over the country.

The name of Han Zhen in Qingzhou is known to everyone in the entire Zhao and Song Dynasties.

For a time, people in the world were panicked.

But there was one person who danced happily.

"Father, what do you call us?"

Zhong Ziang strode into the study, followed by his two younger brothers, Zhong Ziyi and Zhong Ziyi.

After instructing his youngest son to close the door, Zhong Xiang lowered his voice and said, "I'm ready to start an incident for my father!" ”

"Really?"

Zhong Ziang's eyes lit up, and then he wondered: "But didn't you say to wait before Father's New Year?" ”

"The time has come!"

Zhong Xiang smiled slightly and explained: "This time the Western Army was defeated, and Zhao Song had no troops available. It is certain that soldiers will be forcibly recruited in Lianghuai and Lianghu and other places, and then there will inevitably be anger and resentment, and we can take the opportunity to start an incident. ”

He has been thinking about rebellion all these years, so he knows the situation of the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts well.

Forced conscription is brutal and often uses one out of ten, or one out of eight.

The people of the two lakes have reached the limit of their money after last year.

If he forcibly recruited soldiers, there would inevitably be a wail, and then he raised his arms and shouted, with many years of secretly developed believers, he could gather hundreds of thousands of people in a short time.

Moreover, Shandong has Han Zhen to help him, as long as he occupies Dongting Lake and repels several encirclements and suppressions by officers and soldiers, more people will definitely be attracted to vote.

As long as he occupies the two lakes, he can become an emperor and ascend the throne!

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiang's excited hands trembled slightly.
