"The national teacher actually has a way to gather soldiers and horses?" When He Zhi said that he had a way to find soldiers and horses, Emperor Huizong didn't think of anything for a while, and all the civil officials present were furious at once.

He Zhi's own personal strength was already extremely strong, and the emperor personally appointed him as the national teacher and established the sect under his control as the state religion! After this series of actions, He Zhi's position in the Great Song Dynasty was already below one person and above ten thousand people. Whether it is in the court or in the countryside, He Zhi's influence can be said to be everywhere.

Now, He Zhi is actually able to summon a force of soldiers and horses! Moreover, according to He Zhi, this army of soldiers and horses is going to be pulled out to wage war with the Liao State! That is to say, this army of soldiers and horses must at least have a strength comparable to the 50,000 troops that the Liao State is currently assembling!

It's terrifying!

He also has the influence of both the government and the opposition, and he has the army, and his personal strength is still the strongest in the world! When all the civil officials thought that such a person actually existed in this world, they suddenly felt that something was wrong with their whole body. This is too much of a threat to the Great Song Dynasty!

"Hehe, don't get me wrong. I don't have a bean to fight, and I don't have a horse hiding somewhere. As soon as He Zhi saw the expressions of those civil officials, he knew what was wrong, and immediately said with a smile, "All I can think of is with the help of the imperial court." ”

"Oh, what does the national teacher mean by this?" The civil officials finally relaxed a little when they heard He Zhi say this, but the vigilance that a group of people should have has not weakened in the slightest. A purple-robed official quickly arched his hand and asked He Zhi again.

"Hehe, I just know that in my Great Song Dynasty, there are quite a few grass thieves who actually want the imperial court. If I can get a written pardon, I can try one of them. ”

"Zhao'an?" When the purple-robed official heard these two words, he stopped talking.

Zhao'an Caokou is not a new thing for the Song Dynasty. Even if there is no Liao State, when the Great Song Dynasty encounters Caokou, it often uses both suppression and appeasement. To put it bluntly, if you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you will recruit peace. This is the national policy and status quo of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, He Zhi's proposal was not abrupt to the purple-robed official.

Of course, this kind of thing was not often done by the imperial court before. This is not just because the imperial court is unwilling to recruit them. It's those grass robbers who have been recruited, often after being whitewashed, can't stand the constraints of the court law, so they still go their own way as when they were grass coars. And the imperial court often has to investigate this kind of thing, so those grass robbers are unhappy, so they immediately fall back into the grass. This is equivalent to everything that the court has done before has become useless, and all the hard work and money have been paid in vain.

Similar to the rebellion after Cao Kou was recruited, it was too common, which made the imperial court often extra cautious when making the decision to recruit An.

Of course, He Zhi's status in the court now can be called transcendent. Moreover, he is recognized as a "real person" and "land immortal" by the court, so since He Zhi now said that he is sure to recruit a team of grass robbers and let them serve the court, no one in the court will take the initiative to refute it, saying that He Zhi can't do it.

"Is the national teacher really sure?" Emperor Huizong has always had great trust in He Zhi, seeing that He Zhi actually persuaded those civil officials, Emperor Huizong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately asked He Zhi in a loud voice, "I don't know which grass team the national teacher wants to recruit, and what kind of conditions do you need from the imperial court?"

"Actually, the people I want to recruit are also seen by the officials. Didn't the official family meet with two of them a few days ago?" He Zhi said to Emperor Huizong with a smile.

"Ah, is that what the national teacher said?" Emperor Huizong immediately remembered the two Gongsun Sheng and Yang Zhi he had seen before. Thinking of these two people, Emperor Huizong immediately felt that what He Zhi said was more reliable.

When he first met Gongsun Sheng and Yang Zhi in the scene, the strength of both of them left a deep impression on Emperor Huizong.

Gongsun Sheng and Emperor Huizong are brothers of the same generation, and their cultivation is much higher than that of Emperor Huizong, not to mention. Even if it was Yang Zhi next to him, Emperor Huizong could feel that his strength was extraordinary.

Although, until the end, the two did not reveal where exactly they came from. But Emperor Huizong felt that the place where such two masters could live would definitely not be a three-legged cat-level cottage.

"In the matter of recruiting peace, I don't need the officials and the princes to make a big fight. Especially now, north of the Daimyo's Mansion, officials are killed and killed, and those who surrender are surrendered, and it is a time when there is a shortage of people. Therefore, the official family may wish to send me an edict. It is said that if the northern provinces can be recovered and the Liao forces can be repulsed, a part of the official quota for the northern provinces will be taken out and divided among the leaders who have been recruited. I don't know what you think?" He Zhi glanced at Emperor Huizong and the officials present, and asked with a smile.

Emperor Huizong was naturally satisfied with He Zhi's proposal, and it could even be said that he already wanted to approve after listening to He Zhi. In Emperor Huizong's opinion, if no one is willing to defend and recover those prefectures and counties north of the Daimyo's Mansion, then it is equivalent to being lost!

Now He Zhi conjured up a group of soldiers and horses out of thin air to guard the northern border for the Great Song Dynasty, and the conditions required were only to take out some official quotas in the recovered territory to reward the generals who were fighting, Emperor Huizong felt that such conditions were so generous that they could not be more generous, and he could not think of any reason to refuse at all.

However, the purple-robed civil officials next to him obviously didn't think so. In the eyes of these civil officials, all officials of the Great Song Dynasty should preferably be selected from the imperial examination.

Even those good families who have participated in the martial arts examination and killed from the martial arts, these civil officials are extremely disdainful, and they are unwilling to give these martial artists official positions that can hold real power, not to mention the grass cowards who have never known which horn to recruit An!

For the civil officials, the best thing is to recruit the grass cowards, and then they will go home to farm! Just be grateful to the court for leaving them a life, and it is better not to have anything else!

Of course, the civil servants are also well aware that their ideas are purely imaginary, and they are not realistic at all. Zhao'an Caokou, no matter what, the court will have to pay some price.

As for the conditions mentioned by He Zhi, these civil officials carefully considered for a while, and finally decided to pinch their noses and agree—in fact, this is also related to the political environment in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty developed to this era, and after several ravages by Song Huizong and Cai Jing, there were few civil officials left in the officialdom who could be as iron-clad as in the Renzong period. The vast majority of civil servants are sycophants. They don't have any backbones in themselves, so naturally they can't talk about persistence. Seeing that the emperor and He Zhi were both very interested in the matter of recruiting An Caokou, Cai Jing and Taishi Cai did not express obvious opposition, and others were naturally unwilling to stand up and be this up-and-coming bird.

"Okay, since there is no objection from your family, then do it according to the will of the national teacher. Emperor Huizong nodded with great satisfaction, and immediately asked the big eunuch next to him to spread out a piece of paper and write an edict to He Zhi on the spot.

Later, the princes of the political hall took this edict back and copied it, signed it, and sealed it...... A series of processes go down. About two hours later, a decree agreeing to Zhao'an had been released.

However, He Zhi, as the national teacher of the Great Song Dynasty and a land immortal, of course it is impossible for him to surrender his identity and do such a thing as "Zhao'an". Therefore, the responsibility of officially sending an envoy to Liangshan and recruiting the heroes of Liangshan still fell on the officials present after all.

Originally, according to Cai Jing's meaning, since this matter was done to resist the Liao State, it should have been done by Taiwei Gao Yu - this decision itself actually vaguely contained the contempt of the scholars from the Great Song Dynasty for Gao Yu who was fortunate enough to advance.

But He Zhi knows very well that Gao Yu may have a way of slapping horses, but if he hands over the matter of Liangshan Zhao'an to him, I am afraid that he will mess things up in minutes!

Not to mention anything else, now in several big hills on Liangshan, Lin Chong, who is one of the leaders of the "Old Liangshan Faction", hates Gao Yu to the core! Seeing Gao Yu's fight, Lin Chong will already be very face-saving if he doesn't rush up and slaughter him with a knife!

So in the end, under the recommendation of He Zhi, Emperor Huizong finally chose a young civil official as an envoy to take full charge of the matter of recruiting Liangshan. And this young civil official is Li Gang, who became a jinshi in the second year of Hui Zongzheng and is now serving as a living lang.

Li Gang, who received the holy decree, did not delay, immediately made some preparations, and set off for Liangshan with a few attendants.

Soon after Li Gang set off, He Zhi also left Tokyo Bianliang and rushed to Liangshan one step ahead of schedule. Although among the two leaders who are now in charge of Liangshan, Song Jiang wants to recruit an with all his heart, and when he sees Li Gang coming, I am afraid he can only be ecstatic. And Chao Gai, who is sitting on the side of the local Xiuzhen, will most likely be mentioned in advance, and will not object to this Zhao'an.

But the situation on Liangshan is itself very complicated. He Zhi naturally wanted to go on a trip in person to ensure that Liangshan could stand on the side of the Great Song Dynasty.

Before it was dark that night, He Zhi had already come to the hotel at the foot of Liangshan Mountain again.

Zhu Gui, who saw He Zhi again, was still very happy. After he set up a banquet to entertain He Zhi for a big meal, he went up the mountain again, let Song Jiang and Chao Gai both go down the mountain in person, and welcomed He Zhi into the Liangshan Water Village.

"Master?" Entering Liangshan Water Village, Gongsun Sheng, who saw He Zhi again, was overjoyed, and was the first to come forward to salute, and then asked, "Aren't you preaching in Beijing? Why did you come to Liangshan?"

"Hehe, this time I came to Liangshan, but it was related to the Incarnation Demon Star. He Zhi smiled at Gongsun Sheng and said, "I have already told you before that before a month, a demon star came to the world in the Daimyo's Mansion. disturbed the Great Song Dynasty. I was first born and created the current Beiyue National Religion to fight against the Demon Star. ”

The disciple remembers this. Gongsun Sheng nodded hurriedly, "It's just that I don't know what the master has to do with the Demon Star of the Incarnation when he came to Liangshan on purpose?"

"It's relevant. In fact, those incarnated demon stars were born by the Heavenly Dao in order to destroy the world. And as I said before, the leaders on Liangshan also inherit the mandate of heaven. But the destiny you have inherited is to save the world. He Zhi said categorically in front of the leaders of Liangshan.

"Is there such a thing? He Zhenren, please take a seat, and answer a question or two for us. Song Jiang was overjoyed when he heard He Zhi say this.

He originally hung the banner of doing things for heaven on Liangshan, just to get this "justice" status. Now that He Zhi's words have put Liangshan directly on the level of "savior", how can Song Jiang not like it?

"Your inheritance of the destiny of heaven has been fulfilled when the stone tablet was born last time, so I will not mention it here. Now that the Demon Star has descended into the world, all the leaders are also gathered by the stars. This is the time for the leaders to help the people of the world fight against the Demon Star of the World. ”

"I and other brothers in Liangshan gathered righteousness, originally to do the right thing for heaven. Against the World Destroying Demon Star, it is incumbent upon you brothers to do so. Song Jiang immediately said loudly, "It's just a pity...... I am waiting on this Liang Mountain, thousands of miles away from the world-destroying demon star. Even if you have the heart, you can't use your strength. ”

"Huh...... When I say the time has come, I am reminding the leaders. The matter will come to an end in a few days. At that time, I hope that all the leaders will be in the heart of heaven and live up to the people. After He Zhi finished saying this, his body gradually turned into a puff of green smoke and dissipated in front of everyone in Liangshan.

This is naturally the latest Dao method that He Zhi, who has cultivated his soul power to the realm of soul condensation. When everyone on Liangshan saw this scene, they naturally respected and feared He Zhi, and they also became more and more convinced of what He Zhi said.

A few days later, Li Gang came to Liangshan with several entourages, and everyone in Liangshan suddenly came to their senses. The "timing" He Zhi said a few days ago is Zhao'an!

Song Jiang was even more ecstatic about this. He thought about it all night, and what he was looking forward to was the court's recruitment. Now that his dream has come true, and he is still righteous, how can Song Jiang be unhappy.

That night, Song Jiang and other leaders held a banquet to entertain Li Gang and other court envoys. And Li Gang himself is not quite the same as those rotten Confucians. For the warriors who are willing to contribute to the imperial court, Li Gang always has a little respect. Therefore, at the Liangshan dinner, all the heroes in Liangshan had a very good impression of Li Gang, and when everyone talked about the conditions of Zhao'an, it was also smooth sailing.

In the end, Li Gang came to Liangshan with the Zhao'an edict for only three days, and he had already negotiated the conditions of Zhao'an with Song Jiang and others, and returned to Beijing to resume his life satisfied.

After another three days, just when the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry was finally assembled, the troops officially began to point south, and the 60,000 troops went straight to the Daimyo's Mansion, Song Jiang and many leaders of Liangshan also waited for the official Zhao'an official document from the imperial court.
