Wang Zaixing was a little unsoothed and said, "Otherwise, the villain will take advantage of him to go down to the court and tie him up." ”

"Nonsense, such a big move, will the court not be suspicious?"

After reprimanding Wang Zaixing, Zhao Yingluo then asked, "Are there any other officials in Lin'an City who have close contacts with Zhu Shengfei?" ”

Wang Zaixing shook his head, "Zhu Sheng is not an official and low-key, and he hasn't found out who he has a close relationship with for the time being." ”

"Okay, you continue to pay close attention to their movements, be sure to keep abreast of the latest situation as soon as possible, and inform me in time"

"Yes!" Wang Zaixing withdrew after giving up.

After Wang Zaixing withdrew, Zhao Yingluo came to the window, pushed open the window, and took a deep breath of the outside air.

It's a pity that this is not his own territory, and in a few days, I expect that the Empress Dowager Xuanhe will definitely take any action against her, and she must contact Zhu Shengfei and others as soon as possible, and get in touch with the information in the court.

……

A few days later, Zhao Gou's condition improved, and he went to the court accompanied by the Empress Dowager Xuanhe.

But his body hasn't fully recovered, so he hasn't dealt with anything important.

The ministers in the court saw that Zhao Gou could listen to the government in the court, and they all came to congratulate him, and they also greeted the Empress Dowager Xuanhe.

Although Sowers and Liu Zhengyan were beheaded, there was one thing he still hadn't decided, that is, how to deal with the remnants of Sowers and Liu Zhengyan.

"Emperor, those two people went back to protect Zhao Yingluo and Zong Ze and others, betraying the court, so they must be killed! No one can guarantee that their remnants will not secretly do something to endanger the Great Song Dynasty like them! ”

Zhao Gou didn't say anything after hearing this, he had made a promise to only investigate the guilt of Miao and Liu, and the others did not intend to investigate deeply, if it was because of the Queen Mother's words, it affected the rest of the party, then where is the credibility of the Son of Heaven?

Empress Dowager Xuanhe continued, "Emperor, now that you are recovering from your illness, don't work too hard! Zhao Yingluo's side has already asked people to encircle and suppress, I believe there will be results soon! ”

Encirclement and suppression of Zhao Yingluo? Zhao Gou saw that the Empress Dowager Xuanhe actually took advantage of her serious illness to interfere in the government and military affairs, and was dissatisfied!

"Who did Mother send?"

"The palace is in front of the command envoy Liu Guangshi! I ordered him to raise an army of 100,000 people, set out from land and water, and march into Kaifeng. He also transferred 200,000 horses from the West Road and the East Road to cooperate with Liu Guangshi to eradicate the rebels. ”

"Mother is confused! That Zhao Yingluo has three or four hundred thousand horses in Kaifeng, strong combat power, Liu Guangshi went to encircle and suppress this time, afraid that he would lose the army and lose the generals, and ended in a fiasco. ”

Empress Dowager Xuanhe sneered, "Emperor, you don't know anything!" Since Zhao Yingluo has already rebelled! How can you come to Lin'an? You ordered her to come before, did she obey it? Now she has hundreds of thousands of troops in her hands, and she has gained a firm foothold around Kaifeng! If you don't get rid of him as soon as possible, it will be a great disaster in the future! ”

Zhao Gou has some six gods and no masters, he believes that Liu Guangshi's combat power is very good, but he also knows that Zhao Yingluo's army is not easy to mess with, she can even defeat the strong Jin people, let alone the army led by Liu Guangshi.

He said in a somewhat heavy tone, "What the queen mother said also makes sense! It's just that now that my body has not healed, and I am very busy with government affairs, how can I take care of dealing with the affairs of war! ”

The Empress Dowager Xuanhe said unhurriedly, "Since I can decide to send troops, I have the ability to mobilize the army, and you will temporarily hand over the military and political affairs to me, and when I am completely recovered, I will return the government to you, so that the society can be stable." ”

Although Zhao Gou was extremely dissatisfied, his wife was indeed sharing her worries, so she acquiesced to this matter.

……

【Kaifeng City】

After Zong Ze learned that the Empress Dowager Xuanhe was in charge and sent Liu Guangshi to conquer them, he ordered a part of the army to go out of Chenliu and other places to defend in advance.

"General, are we going to fight with the army sent by the Empress Dowager Xuanhe?" Yue Fei asked.

"The Empress Dowager Xuanhe is just an internal worry, and what we should pay more attention to now is the Jin people who go south!" Zong Ze's finger tapped on the map, "After the Jin people learned that the Empress Dowager Xuanhe had made a move, they would inevitably lead their troops south, and Xingzhou, Cizhou and other places would be the targets of the Jin people, so we should put the main force in Xingzhou and Cizhou to beware of the Jin people." ”

After hearing this, all the generals nodded one after another, they were all loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally they did not want to see the Jin people wreaking havoc in the Central Plains.

"General, how are we going to deal with it?" Another general asked.

Zong Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Xingzhou and Cizhou have their own 200,000 troops under His Royal Highness to garrison, and we only need to transfer the 100,000 troops stationed around Kaifeng to meet the enemy a hundred miles south of Kaifeng and hold Kaifeng City and its surroundings." ”

"We can set up an ambush circle in Chenliu to lure the army of the Empress Dowager Xuanhe to attack, and then concentrate our forces and storm the enemy's army."

Zong Ze pointed to a location on the map, "The terrain here is favorable to us and can give full play to our combat effectiveness. ”

After hearing this, the generals agreed that this was a feasible tactic.

After sending everyone away, the old man immediately launched a research and judgment, and without the command of Zhao Yingluo, he responded to the encirclement and suppression of Lin'an.

In order to avoid a mutiny among his subordinates during the last time Kang Lu's army marched north, Liu Guangshi conducted a large-scale screening of the 100,000-strong army before setting off, and eliminated all the generals who might sympathize with Zhao Yingluo.

His army was also divided into two routes, one along the canal north, and the other along the official road.

But he never expected that the water army walking the canal would encounter an ambush!

When his troop transport was about to arrive in Chenliu, seven or eight ships several times larger than their troop carrier crashed straight into them.

The huge impact force knocked more than a dozen troop carriers into either overturning or disintegrating, and there was a wail on the canal for a while! To add insult to injury, the soldiers who fell into the water were also attacked by the archers on the shore, and suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this, Liu Guangshi urgently ordered people by land to come to the rescue, but the general trend had gone.

In this battle, the army led by Zong Ze won a complete victory, killing thousands of enemy soldiers and capturing a large amount of baggage and grain and grass.

After the news was transmitted back to Lin'an, Zhao Gou was shocked.

"This Zong Ze...... Unexpectedly...... would even resist Master Wang! Zhao Gou muttered to himself, "He has always been loyal, how can this be?" ”

When the Empress Dowager Xuanhe heard that Liu Guangshi was defeated, her face was extremely bad!

And Zhao Yingluo, who was in Lin'an, also learned the news of Zong Ze's defeat of Xuanhe and the Empress Dowager's army.

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, "I really didn't expect that General Zong Lao would actually do something to the imperial army. ”
