Chapter 171
In Suzhou City, when it was getting late, the city gates were closed early.

The government office has been cleaned up, and the two envoys who were originally staying in their own camps have moved in together. After all, the official Zhao's family is here in person. No matter how simple it is, what should be prepared must be prepared.

For example, a big wine is not only to clean up the dust, but also to let the generals who have been tense for half a year relax a little bit.

After all, when the emperor came, they would have a backbone, and they no longer had to make decisions on their own, and they didn't have to worry about doing anything wrong.

Liu Banggao sat on it, and he has already said what he should say. Bozhou is different from Yingzhou. Yingzhou can be bypassed or ignored for the time being. There is no bypass here.

If the 10 people from Lianghuai Zhangjun Department and Liangya want to go to Kaifeng, this is the only way to go. If you don’t go here, you can take other places, and the distance will be at least twice as long. The defenders from all walks of life... Even if it passed smoothly, the losses of the soldiers would definitely be much more than if they walked from Bozhou.

So Li Qiong must die.

He only knew about the change of the Huaixi Army before, and he also knew that it had a far-reaching impact, but after all, it was not a pleasant thing, and this matter not only involved the emperor himself, but even the people in the court who could be counted by name. People are almost all involved, so even when Xin Ciying described the matter, he was biased intentionally or unintentionally.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people around him who tell the truth, such as Guo Yaoshi... This old guy likes to see the emperor deflated, but he has no position. When Liu Bang asked him, he quickly put the matter to rest I spoke from a fairly objective point of view.

It is said that in the seventh year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou, who had been emperor for many years, received a message from the Kingdom of Jin——

Your father is gone.

If it’s gone, then it’s gone. Originally, Zhao Laojiu had already made plans for all his parents and brothers to die in the north. If it was just like this, it would be fine, but this news still has a premise that makes people have to be angry——

It was gone two years ago.

Although Lao Jiu is not favored and doesn't have much father-son affection for his father, but father is father and son is son. If you say that he is not touched at all, it must be impossible. Whether it is sad or useless, I must be He hid a lot of unwillingness, but at the same time, he was relieved,

Now, the throne is really stable for the most part.

At this time, Yue Pengju, who had clamored for many years to welcome back the second sage, also fell silent. Besides, there was news that Jin Renli's puppet Qi was about to be abolished. Anyway, various news came, Zhao Gou is very happy.

He was so happy that he called Yue Fei to his face and told him: "I will leave all the matters of the Northern Expedition to you in the future, except Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong who are not under your control, and all the soldiers and horses in the world are under your control."

After Yue Fei heard this, he went to Lingyin Temple to burn incense the next day. He only said that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas here are very spiritual, and he went to fulfill his vows.

At that time, the soldiers and horses in the world were divided into five divisions, namely Han Shizhong's front guard army, Liu Guangshi's left guard army, Wu Jie's right guard army, Zhang Jun's central guard army and Yue Fei's rear guard army. In terms of birth, age, seniority, and official position, Yue Fei is the successor. Not to mention that the emperor's practice of concentrating the world's military power on one person is already against the decision of his ancestors. Let's say that Yue Fei himself is happy, but where is he? I can conquer the anger of these people again.

In this way, Zhao Gou went out in person and was the first to remove Liu Guangshi's military power... There are more than 5 troops, [-] civilian husbands, [-] crossbowmen, and [-] cavalry... Liu Guangshi is a commander. He ran away, but his subordinates were all men who were good at fighting, some came from the Western Army, such as Wang De, some fought against the Jin people in Hebei all the year round, such as Li Qiong, and there were countless thieves, robbers, The composition of the people who came from bandits and bandits is also quite complicated.

And this is just the military forces at that time, and the one who can really call the shots is actually Zhang Jun, the prime minister in charge of the world's military. After hearing Zhao Gou's arrangement, Zhang Xiangye was almost out of breath.

Since the beginning of the Taizu Emperor, the original direction has always been to use literature to control military affairs. Can these Qiu Ba be trusted? !
Could it be that the Zhao family has forgotten, who are you ruling the world with? !
If Yue Fei has this momentum, even if the north is beaten back, can the Zhao official family guarantee that the surname north of the Huaihe River can continue to be Zhao? !

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

But Zhang Jun was very happy, and called Yue Fei to show off, and asked him:
"Wang De is very brave. There is no one in the Huaixi Army who refuses to accept him. I plan to let him be the commander of this army, and let Lu Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of War, supervise the army. This genius-like personnel arrangement, you It must be in favor of both hands, right?"

Yue Fei answered him: "There are many rebels and thieves in the Huaixi army. The rebellion is just a matter of turning hands. Wang De and Li Qiong have always been dissatisfied with each other. Liu Taiwei used to use this to make them fight for merit. , although Lu Shangshu is talented, but the scholar is not familiar with the military, not enough to convince the crowd... If you let me say it, I'd better find a prestigious general to take up this job, otherwise, this Zuo Hujun might be unpredictable gone."

No wonder Yue Fei opened his mouth. It was the situation at that time. In fact, many people could see it clearly, but if they saw it clearly, they could see clearly. Everyone knew who the emperor was and who Zhang Jun was. .

That's not the kind of person who can discuss things!

That was Yue Fei. If other people were asked such a question by Zhang Jun, they must have agreed with him.

Zhang Jun asked him again: "How about Zhang Jun?"

Yue Fei said: "Zhang Jun is my old leader. I shouldn't speak ill of him, but he is violent and witty. Li Qiong has always been dissatisfied. If he comes, I'm afraid it won't make people feel at ease."

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

Yue Fei said: "Yang Yizhong is young and prone to short-sightedness, and his talents are only mediocre. How can he be the coach of the Left Guard Army."

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

Yue Fei said seriously: "It's the governor who wants to ask me, I dare not tell the truth, how dare I think of coming by myself?"

Zhang Jun told the emperor about it, and of course it was embellished. Zhao Gou tossed and turned, and wrote a letter threatening Yue Fei, saying:

"You have to recognize your own position, otherwise, the only one who violates my law is Jian Er."

Yue Fei was also stubborn, so he directly handed in his resignation letter and quit.

Although Yue Fei was invited out later, within a few months, Li Qiong cut off the head of Lu Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of War, as Yue Fei said, and it really turned the other way.

Li Qiong's rebellion immediately emptied a large part of the Lianghuai defense line, and Zhao Gou was so frightened that he almost continued to board a boat and flee south. Later, Zhao Gou remembered the relationship between Yue Fei and Li Qiong, so he wrote to Yue Fei and said:

"Wen Qiong is in the same hometown as Qing, and he has always admired Qing's prestige... You should write a letter to ask him to come back. Not only did the criminals in the past not ask anything, but he should be awarded an official title, even more than before!"

What was said a few days ago that "the only person who violates my law is the sword ear", now it has become an official title, even more than before, no one knows what Yue Fei thought when he read this letter, but the Huaixi military change is like that , happened when he said nothing.

As a result, Wang De still didn't shit on Li Qiong's head, even though he really wanted to do so, Li Qiong took away more than 4 people, leaving him only [-] direct descendants, and he also borrowed money from Liu Guangshi's family. His subordinates were transferred to Zhang Jun's subordinates.

Mr. Zhang Jun, Mr. Zhang, took full responsibility for this matter. After promoting Qin Hui to the center, he went to the local government to be an idle official.

Zhao Ding, who was in charge of internal affairs, Zhao Ding, although Zhang Jun was squeezed out, this person was brought out by him after all. Although he had different political views, Zhao Xiangye never had any hatred for him. Instead, it was Qin Hui who appeared, and soon So the emperor's eyes lighted up, and Zhao Ding was also released.

Zhao Gou, Emperor Zhao, had just given birth to a man's ambition, but because of this mutiny, he was wiped out in an instant. He deeply realized that the national troubles of the Song Dynasty were not outside, but inside, and he never dared to say anything about handing over the military power to whom This kind of words, and the blood of the Zhao family, which is engraved in the bones, has been completely awakened, and the work of defending against warriors is like defending against tigers, and it has also been carried out with the help of Qin Xiangye.

Liu Guangshi won't talk about the others. There is a saying that everything is born when the whale falls, and Zhang Jun eats up the remaining soldiers of the left guard army. Smarter people, such as Han Shizhong, finally understand the emperor's intentions. Mind.

This incident ended in a mess. Although few people mentioned it because they were afraid of touching the emperor, its impact was so far-reaching that it almost affected the national destiny of the Song Dynasty.

To this day, the fact that the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Song Dynasty has not stopped in Suzhou can be regarded as one of the consequences of this incident.

"Who the hell, it's enough to drink almost enough, and it will be completely dark in the evening, so it's hard to talk about business."

Sitting below was an uninvited guest who came today. This man obviously had no hair and was wearing a monk's robe, but he insisted that he was a Taoist priest.

Liu Bang told him that the Taoist priest didn't look like him, and that he was dressed like a monk, but the Taoist priest said:
"You've got a picture."

"And if it weren't for this outfit, if I appeared in front of you today, everyone in Bozhou would know about it two hours later."

Liu Bang didn't understand what it meant to be a phase, but this person said that he was very famous in places like Guide Mansion in Bozhou, Suzhou, and if the emperor wanted to take down Bozhou, he must treat him to a good drink and a good meal. OK.

Liu Bang doesn't know how much he has seen the weird man. Generally, people who look like this kind of person always have something on them. Otherwise, this kind of person would have died a thousand or eight hundred times.

It's just a meal and a drink, he can afford it, so he ordered him to come, but it's been an hour since he ate, and the food has been reheated for eight times, this old boy is still just eating, what do you want? He didn't say a word about what he was going to do, which made Liu Bang a little puzzled...

Could it be that he was really eaten for nothing?
The Taoist priest below was enjoying himself, when he heard the emperor's words, he lifted the hem of his monk's robe and wiped his mouth:

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

"Of course I don't feel distressed, but you just come here to eat and drink, and you don't talk about the business at all. I can't even ask?"

The Taoist said with a smile, "Your words are really interesting."

With that said, he stood up and bowed to Liu Bang three times:

"Xiaodao's surname is Liu Mingzhan, from Bozhou. He has been in Suzhou for a year, and he finally welcomes you."

Liu Bang nodded. He didn't expect another person named Liu. Seeing Yang Yizhong, Zhao Mi, and several people including Xin Ciying, they were a little moved. They knew that they must have heard of this person's name before, and thought that he might He is his offspring, and he looks much better towards this person.

"Stayed for a year... You were here waiting for me a year ago? At that time, no one knew that Song State was about to make a northern expedition. Don't tell lies, kid."

Liu Zhan nodded and said: "Don't dare to bully the king, it really is a year... To be precise, when Tokyo was broken 15 years ago, Xiaodao was waiting here."

Liu Bang looked at the Taoist priest, he only pointed the top of his head at himself, and didn't know what kind of expression it was, so taking advantage of the time to refill the wine for the emperor, Huang Yanjie said in a low voice:
"This man is well-known in Lianghuai, he is known as Layman Yingning... I heard that he has many friends, all of whom are officials in the Jin Kingdom's court."

Seeing that the emperor didn't express anything, Huang Yanjie withdrew to the side with the flagon, and said nothing more.

"I believe in you!"

Liu Bang just spoke two or three sentences with him, and then directly came to such a conclusion, which surprised Liu Zhan himself.

"It's not too late for you to ask other people and find out more clearly before making a decision."

He only saw the emperor waving his hand: "If you have a different heart, the more dangerous I will be, the more dangerous I will be, the more careful I will be, the more careful I will be, the more careful I will be, the safer I will be."

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

Although he doesn't know how the emperor made this inference, Liu Zhan only thinks it makes sense. Although he faintly feels that something is wrong, but now is not the time for him to delve into it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for believing in Xiaodao. Xiaodao has a lot to say, but now he suddenly doesn't want to say it."

"It's better to wait until the city of Bozhou is broken, and then discuss it with His Majesty in detail."

Those who know Liu Zhan have already started talking about him:

"Before the sage, the layman should not be too big."

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

"It's all right, but I still have a question for you."

"Please, Your Majesty."

"Since you have been waiting for so long, why did you come out now? Is it because Yang Yizhong and Zhao Mi are not worthy?"

Liu Zhan laughed loudly: "Yes, and no."

"Be clear."

"There are only a few people who can convince the people of Bozhou in the Song Dynasty. Yue Pengju can't come, and Liu Xinshu can't come. Only you can come... You must know that Bozhou is not difficult because of its high walls, but because of hundreds of thousands of people. The heart of the surname."

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

"If you have no other questions, Xiaodao will go with General Wang."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bang finally became serious... His eyes were full of light, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Only Huang Yanjie, who was farther away, could hear it clearly. What the emperor was reading was clearly that——

"Amitabha".
