Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mole

Liu Chan's words can be described as earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods. The right minister alone leads an army, or is it Qin Hui of the main and faction? Unheard of, let alone unthinkable. Even in other dynasties, this is something that is hard to believe.

However, Liu Chan is very used to it, isn't Dong Zhuo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty also a prime minister, of course, this is a traitor, there is no need to say more. There is also Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan is no stranger to this.

When the ministers heard that Liu Chan asked Qin Hui to lead the army, they all looked like they were all opening their mouths, that was Qin Hui, even the forces of the Lord and the faction knew what Qin Hui was like, but now they actually let Qin Hui lead the army, which is a little unacceptable to everyone.

This is as absurd as letting Xi Shi assassinate Dong Zhuo and Diao Chan to crusade against the Huns. Zhao Ding and Han Shizhong were simply dumbfounded, they couldn't believe it at all, and Zhao Ding even called Qin Hui a bewitching slut in his heart.

"Your Majesty, by all means, how can major events in the army be so nonsense." Han Shizhong hurriedly went out of the ranks, if he let Yue Fei know that the rebel army was actually under Qin Hui's control, then Yue Fei would have the heart to kill him. The Northern Expedition has finally achieved its current results, and it must not be in vain.

Qin Hui was unhappy, who did he look down on, who did he look down on. I don't know if I can lead the troops, but I need you to object.

Liu Chan also felt amused when he saw Han Shizhong's anxious expression: "General Han, Prime Minister Qin, don't worry, I won't let you go to war." I know that you are not good at leading troops, so I have given you the right to command the army only to control the internal problems of the rebel army. You don't need to lead troops to fight, my Song Dynasty is not really unmanned, even the prime minister was sent to the front. Qin Xiang, you only need to sit in Beijing and coordinate the cooperation between the rebel army and the various armies. ”

Qin Hui understood what Liu Chan meant at this time, that is to say, the rebel army actually had no commander, only staff officers. This is just that this staff officer is nominally in command, and in this case, the power of their faction is greatly increased. The number of rebel armies in various places, Qin Hui also has an approximation, I am afraid that it is not less than the number of any army in the Song Dynasty, if you have a little training, you will have cronies in the army. This is much better than working with a general, after all, you are in charge.

To be honest, Qin Hui's current position is inseparable from Zhao Jun, a famous general of the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty. The two men worked with each other, one to provide political protection and the other to provide military support, so the two men rose through the ranks very quickly during those years. However, later, there was a mutiny in Zhao Jun's army, so he was demoted and was no longer hired. And Qin Hui was already the right minister at that time, so he directly drew a line with Zhao Jun.

Liu Chan's words are not complicated, and many people can understand them immediately. The Lord and the faction looked even more excited, military power, these are things they once dared not think of.

"Wechen thank Your Majesty Longen." Qin Hui hurriedly bowed.

Zhao Ding's face was ugly, and the right minister had military power, so what should he do with the left minister. In this way, wouldn't Qin Hui want to overpower him. Zhao Ding said: "Your Majesty, there is no precedent for this matter, and it is even more unheard of for the prime minister to be in charge of a large army." I beg your Majesty to retract this order. "I can't bear it, I can't bear it.

Those lords and factions understood what Liu Chan meant, and their blood was boiling, and they were about to go out to fight Zhao Ding for three hundred rounds. But he was immediately stopped by Liu Chan, who said with a smile: "Zhao Xiang, you are the first civil official, don't be so dead-eyed." There are precedents for everything in this world, and extraordinary times should be done in extraordinary times, I understand what Aiqing means, but this matter is like this for the time being, if there is a problem in the future, we will discuss it again. ”

Zhao Ding saw Liu Chan's resolute expression, and although he was a little resentful of Qin Hui, he no longer spoke. The power of the Lord and the faction has increased greatly, and the reward given by Liu Chan to the Yue family army has also become generous. What kind of official position, what kind of reward made Han Shizhong a little dizzy when he heard it. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the court began to be harmonious.

Qin Hui smiled and said, "Please give your majesty a name for the rebel army." ”

Liu Chan had already thought of the name of the rebel army, but he still pretended to ponder for a while before saying: "On the border, in the bitter cold land, the rebel army faces the Jin people without falling behind, brave and invincible, and I specially give it the Xiliang Army." ”

Xiliang, two words perfectly imply the situation of the rebel army. Even Han Shizhong thinks that this name is very good, both in terms of meaning and situation, it is much better than his eight-character army. Han Shizhong was a little helpless, he really didn't meet a good time, and immediately became a little envious and jealous of Xiliangjun.

When it was time to retreat from the dynasty, Liu Chan stretched straight, feeling that he had dealt with too many things in the early dynasty this time. More than what I have done in Shu for decades, why is this.

Liu Chan suddenly felt a little puzzled, in his opinion, the current Manchu Dynasty's civil and military level is much higher than his courtiers in Shu, but why has he done more work.

It is normal for Liu Chan to have such thoughts, there is nothing wrong with the system of Shu itself, but the ministers are mediocre, no matter what they do, there will be no major problems, so Liu Chan can put the right people in the right positions as much as he wants. But the current Song Dynasty has problems with its own system, and the courtiers have a strong ability to make trouble, so if they don't suppress it a little, there may be some problems.

For example, Zhao Ding, if he is put in charge of power and doesn't care about anything, he will concentrate on the Northern Expedition, and there may be any problems with the domestic people's livelihood, and if there is another rebellion, it will be funny. If Qin Hui is put in charge, there will be no problem in the country, but believe it or not, he dares to kill all the generals who support the Northern Expedition.

The current system of the Song Dynasty is not suitable for today's situation, it has reached the point where it needs to be reformed, and it needs to add some vitality. It is necessary to give some freedom to the generals and stabilize the people's livelihood. But how to balance these two aspects is a big problem.

If Liu Chan hadn't crossed over, according to the normal historical development, Qin Hui would have taken over the power and killed Yue Fei on trumped-up charges, which made the situation of the Northern Expedition plummet. But Qin Hui's internal affairs are not bad, and there are no major problems in the country. But also because of the killing of Yue Fei, the overall national strength of the Song Dynasty decreased a lot.

When Liu Chan was distressed, the Golden Vulture who was far away in Bianliang was also troubled. The news of the defeat of the Golden Vulture spread throughout the north, and the uprisings in various places were like sparks that were out of control, and often the Golden Vulture received an uprising in another place before they could put down an uprising in one place. Therefore, in the few days that it fled to Bianliang, there was no rest at all, and chaos was quelled every day.

"Fourth brother, how can you report such a big situation to your father." The Eighth Prince, Wanyan Zongqiang, looked at Jin Wushu and said with an ugly face.

"Hold it down for the time being, wait until I finish rectifying the soldiers and horses in Bianliang, and then raise troops to recover those cities. This time is just our carelessness, and if we fight again, we will make Yue Fei look good. Jin Wushu said nonchalantly.

"But now the news of the fourth brother's defeat is well known to the northerners, and I am afraid that my father will not be able to hide it."

Jin Wushu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this. How could the news spread so quickly, and it was so well known to everyone that it had only been a few days. What Jin Wushu didn't expect was that now he was also a celebrity, and the big defeat was a blockbuster news, and the speed of transmission was simply fast. Jin Wushu thought that it was the same as before, and it would take ten days and half a month to reach the Jin Kingdom.

"Hey, forget it, I'll write a letter, you help me forward it to my father, see what my father commands." Jin Wushu sighed helplessly, with such a big defeat, he may not have a chance to be on the throne. It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.

"Okay, fourth brother." Wanyan Zongqiang has been respectful and afraid of Jin Wushu since he was a child, and now that he saw Jin Wushu's tone, he immediately didn't dare to tell him Yue Fei's news.

However, Wanyan Zongqiang didn't say anything, but Jin Wushu asked, "How is Yue Fei now?" ”

"Yue Fei is currently in Shunchang to stabilize the hearts of the local people, those people were originally panicked, but as soon as they heard that the Lord would be Yue Fei, they quickly settled down. Looking at Yue Fei's military momentum, I am afraid that he will attack Bianliang in the near future. ”

"That's fine, just a slap in the face of those peace factions in the court. However, Yue Fei's reputation in the north is very great, and he is deeply popular with the people. Jin Wushu seemed to think of something, and pondered for a moment: "I remember that the current Song emperor seems to be the most afraid of the rebellion of the generals, if he hears that Yue Fei has such a reputation in the north, what do you think?" ”

"I'm afraid that he will be immediately relieved of his military power and let him stay in Beijing for retirement." Wanyan Zongqiang's eyes lit up and said.

"If so, it's not enough. Yue Fei is not dead, and my Jin Kingdom is uneasy for a day. After this war, Jin Wushu asked all the Jin soldiers who fled with him about the details of this war, so he also had a certain understanding of Yue Fei.

Although the army of the Yue family was nominally the army of the Song Dynasty, it was fundamentally Yue Fei's. Moreover, this army, Jin Wushu also admits that it is very capable of fighting, but Yue Fei's command ability probably accounts for a large part of it. If the main general Yue Fei is removed, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will plummet. Therefore, the Golden Vulture was to let the Song Dynasty execute Yue Fei.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, although Yue Fei's prestige is very high, he will be executed without any reason, even the emperor will not dare to do this. And Yue Fei's reputation is very good, he is honest and friendly, even I sometimes have to admire his style. ”

"Send a message to Qin Hui and ask him to find a way to kill Yue Fei."

"Is there a way for Qin Hui?"

Qin Hui is a traitor sent by the Jin State, which is not a secret in the upper echelons of the Jin State. But now that Qin Hui is in a high position, he has begun to become a little indifferent to the Jin Kingdom. Jin Guo is also helpless about this, and he can't say in front of the world that Qin Hui was sent by Jin Guo, in this case, those spies sent to the Song Dynasty may have to turn back.

Jin Wushu smiled coldly: "I don't know, but you should never underestimate the black hearts of those Wenchen." In addition, tell Qin Hui that as long as he helps me do this, he will no longer have anything to do with Jin Guo. I won't tell anyone about the past. ”
