The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 97

Zhao Gou led the order to thank him, and the general of the hussars was promoted from a first-rank official position, which surprised all the officials.Zhao Zuo became the highest-ranking commander among the generals, and he was truly on an equal footing with Gao Qiu.

Zhao Gou's former envoy to the Privy Council was a civilian job. Compared with this time, he abandoned literature and went to military affairs.Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty gave him the title of general, and also made him the Grand Marshal of the World’s Soldiers and Horses. That is to say, the entire Song Dynasty army was in his hands, and the real position was high and powerful. Even Zong Ze, Zhong Shidao and others were also Zhao Gou’s subordinates. The official position of military commander is also respected by Zhao Gou.

Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty conferred the title of General Zhao Gou Hussars and Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World, which stirred up thousands of waves for a while.Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, no one has ever been able to hold such an important position at the age of 12. Looking around, no one in the previous dynasty has reached such a height. It is truly unprecedented.

The officials were all surprised. Gao Qiu saw that Zhao Gou had a large army in his hand, and he could mobilize the army by himself without the need to report to the Holy Spirit. , wouldn’t it be more difficult to deal with him if he climbed on top of me.”

Dai Wang Zhao Heng was panicked, his face changed drastically, and he thought to himself: "The ninth younger brother won the favor of the emperor, and was transferred from the Privy Council to the general of the hussars and the general of the world's soldiers and horses. Even if they are in the same official position, the power in their hands is different. But what should I do? If we win another big victory, there will be no shadow of me, I am afraid that everyone in the court will remember the King of Guangping County, and I don’t know if I will be the king.”

Song Jiang, Zhong Shidao, Zong Ze and others were also stunned. They never thought that Song Huizong would bestow such an important official position, which made them all stupid.

At this time, the military generals in the court, regardless of their seniority, need to obey Zhao Gou's restraint. That is to say, Song Huizong relied on Zhao Gou for the safety of the Great Song Dynasty. This time he made up his mind to kill the traitors.

Song Huizong glanced at the crowd indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "I know what you think in your heart. I know Gou'er's abilities better than you. It was a deliberate decision to be named General Hussar. You don't need to say more. Let those rebels see how powerful the Great Song Army is, and let them know that going against the court is a dead end."

"Gou'er, I appointed you as the General of the Hussars and the Grand Marshal of the World's Army and Horses. Then you must show your true skills and not disappoint my expectations. You can dispatch the world's soldiers and horses as much as you want, and those who don't obey orders can do it." The right to kill first and play later, if I see the head of the thief bowing his head and pleading guilty, I will behead him personally. If you can't do it, I will punish you the same, do you understand?"

Zhao Gou replied solemnly: "I will definitely live up to my father's entrustment, and I will definitely let the leader of the bandit fall under the law. If I fail to do so, I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Good! Good! Good!" Song Huizong praised three times in succession, and said in a deep voice: "I will entrust you with the full authority to exterminate the bandits. I will wait for your good news in the capital. Tomorrow you can set off to go south. , to wipe out the Fangla rebels."

"It really is Fang La!" Zhao Gou muttered silently.

Suddenly seeing Song Huizong angry, and hearing his angry words, Zhao Gou already guessed that it was Fang La's rebels. Only Fang La dared to ignore the imperial court so much. However, the strength of the Song Dynasty is only 200 million, which is enough to compete with the Song Dynasty.

What Zhao Gou couldn't figure out was the force in Fang La's hands. Even if the generals led by Song Jiang were brave and good at fighting, they would not be able to compete with millions of troops. Only the book can do it, and it is unimaginable that more than a dozen people can come back. matter.

It was originally a festive celebration banquet, but it broke up because of Fang La's rebellion.This time, Song Huizong did not summon Zhao Gou, turned around and left angrily, and left everything to Zhao Gou to solve by himself.

Zhao Gou held the commander's seal in his hand, with a dignified expression on his face. He knew that the commander's seal was not easy to get, but he had to.If Fangla's rebel army cannot be wiped out, it will be impossible to explain, and it will be difficult to get rid of the guilt.Although the handsome seal is very light, his heart is heavy, and he sighed: "It's really Alexander!"

"Alexander? General, what does this mean?" Yue Fei asked in surprise.

Zhao Gou shook his head in embarrassment, and said, "Nothing! Nothing!...Let's go home!"

Yue Fei, Lin Chong, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others all followed Zhao Gou back to the county palace.Since they don't have a mansion in the capital, they can only temporarily stay in the guest house.However, tomorrow they were going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to put down Fangla's rebellion, so Zhao Gou asked them to go to his mansion to discuss major issues.

"General Song, have you ever heard of Fang La?" Zhao Gou said in a deep voice.

Song Jiang replied: "I've heard about Fang La once or twice. There are rumors in the world that this person not only has Zhuo Yuan's military talent, but also is a rare general. He is also the owner of the lacquer garden. He is bold, popular, and generous. He has helped many impoverished refugees, and he is also a well-known person in the local area.”

Lu Junyi continued: "In addition, I also heard that Fang La's kung fu is unfathomable, but no one has ever seen it. I don't know how deep his kung fu is. I'm afraid he is only strong but not weak. Moreover, he has millions of soldiers in his hands. His subordinate is also a general who is good at fighting, and it is really a difficult nut to crack if he wants to destroy him, and he needs a long-term plan."

Zhao Gou nodded and said: "If we really want to win this battle, it will take months for a few, and years for a long time. However, we don't know much about this person, so we don't know how to start." This time it must be a tough battle. You must be prepared for a long battle. This battle may be life-threatening at any time. If you are not careful, you will really die on the battlefield. When you arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after departure tomorrow, Take a closer look, don't be head-on."

"What kind of bird are you afraid of! The worst thing is to die, and you will be a hero again in 18 years!"

"Yes, at worst, fight with him, who will win or lose is uncertain!"

Everyone talked in one go, they were all full of arrogance, and felt that Fang La was nothing to worry about, even if he died in battle.Because Zhao Gou was willing to risk his head for them before, which made him very admired in his heart.Everyone was willing to follow Zhao Gou to fight on the battlefield. They were born as grassroots bandits, and they were rewarded by the court to become officials of the court. How can they not be grateful, even if they are willing to risk their lives.

Zhao Gou smiled knowingly when he saw that everyone was full of fighting spirit and relaxed and fearless.However, the bitterness in my heart is only known to me.Zhao Gou, Song Jiang and others all knew that Fang La was not easy to deal with, and that only brute force could not defeat him at all.Moreover, Zhao Gou has also read Romance in later generations, and Fang La is not a good stubble.

Everyone discussed for a while, but there was still no result, but everyone knew that they had to be fully prepared.So, Zhao Gou asked them to go back to rest one after another, and set off again tomorrow.After everyone dispersed, a black shadow quietly came to the county palace.

When Zhao Gou saw the figure of that person, he knew who it was, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Thirteen, why are you here?"

Cai Wangzhao smiled and said: "Gou'er, you have finally grown up a lot. I haven't seen you for a while and your skills have improved greatly. As for everything you did in Qingzhou City, I also know everything. Chu, you did a good job. Today, I came here to see you, and there is another thing that Brother Huang asked me to come here, I think you should have guessed it."

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice, "Is the emperor's uncle here because of Fang La's uprising?"

King Cai nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, it is precisely for this matter that I came here, and it is also the emperor's order. There are some things that need to be told to you."
