The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 98 The Silence of King Cai

Zhao Gou was sitting upright, listening intently to what King Cai had told him.He knew that King Cai came late at night, not simply to reminisce about the past, and he had heard that King Cai himself said that he had something important to say here.

"Fang La is quite prestigious in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Wherever he passed, the rebels attached themselves one after another, and even the common people lined up to welcome him, as if they regarded him as the emperor."

Cai Wang Zhaosi then said: "This time you go to destroy Fangla's rebels, and you have a long way to go. Even if you become the general of the hussars and the general of the world's soldiers and horses, you can dispatch any army. It is still a hard nut to crack. You must already know that."

Zhao Gou nodded, and said in a deep voice, "What about Fang La? Does he really have millions of troops?"

Zhao Si replied: "Fang La's real strength is not a million, and there are civilians among them, which cannot be counted. There are only hundreds of thousands who can fight on the battlefield. The exact number is unknown."

"However, there is one thing you must keep in mind! Fang La is not so easy to deal with. I have sent several people to inquire about the military situation, but they have not returned without exception. There is only a piece of broken paper, leaving words and phrases , It is precisely his martial arts, I guess his martial arts is not weaker than mine."

"This time you go to conquer Fang La, you must be careful. We can't give you much help, everything depends on you. Also, how is your injury?"

Zhao Gou was taken aback. Only a few people knew about his injury, and no one else knew about it, even his own father. He really didn't understand how his uncle knew about it. Do you know I'm hurt?"

"Don't forget, I'm also a martial arts practitioner!" Cai Wang Zhaosi smiled slightly and said, "Whether you have any pain or not, you can guess one or two by looking at your steps and breath. Now your blood is not smooth, and your complexion is a bit pale. Pale, I can still see this. Even if I haven’t learned any internal skills, I still know a little about some simple things. However, I am very curious. Considering your injury, you should rest. I don’t know why you acted freely?"

"Uncle Emperor, don't embarrass me!" Zhao Gou said dumbfoundedly, "The injury I suffered was not an external injury, but an internal injury, so that I could not use any internal force, let alone use force. This time when I was fighting the Liangshan Army, if I hadn't The reinforcements arrived in time at the last moment, maybe I have no choice but to use it forcefully, and if I don’t die, I will be seriously injured.”

Cai Wang Zhaosi thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Did your injury be caused by Lu Junyi?"

Zhao Gou exclaimed again: "Uncle Huang, this...you also know?"

"In the Liangshan Army, Lu Junyi is the only person with superb martial arts skills. I have fought against him once, and his martial arts are better than blue. When it comes to marksmanship, he is invincible in the world. Even I suffered a disadvantage in his hands. But , He didn't get any cheap that time either."

King Cai and Zhao seemed to stand with their hands behind their backs. Looking back, even Zhao Gou admired him when he was so magnificent.He knew that his uncle's martial arts were unfathomable, and the last time he defeated him, he only gained the upper hand when he was seriously ill.If Zhao Si recovered from his injuries, Zhao Gou really had no idea.

Zhao Gou suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle Huang, my nephew wants to ask you something, can you tell me the truth?"

Zhao Si replied curiously: "What? If you have something to say, you don't have to hide it!"

Zhao Gou asked straight to the point: "Uncle Huang, is the death of the master's son related to you?"

Zhao Si was silent, and said calmly: "I will tell you about this matter in the future. For now, it is more important for you to deal with the following matters."

Zhao Gou saw that Zhao seemed unwilling to say more, so he couldn't continue to ask.After all, this matter is about the only son of King Cai and Zhao Si.Next, Zhao seemed not to want to stay any longer, so he got up and left.Zhao Gou looked at the back of Zhao Xizhi with a wry smile, shook his head and went back to his room, lay down and rested.

After Zhao Si left the county palace, he did not return to Amber Villa, nor did he return to the palace to report the situation to Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. Instead, he came to a separate garden and quietly looked at a handsome man inside.Zhao Si looked at it intently for a moment, then turned around and left quietly, as if he had never appeared before.

"Has he left?" the man sitting in the house asked in a low voice after he turned and left.

A man in black bowed and replied, "Master, he has already left."

The man nodded, and said with a sneer: "It was only because of a single thought that I came to this point. I have been keeping a low profile all these years, just to avoid the eyes and ears of the emperor. However, I didn't expect that the emperor could not be underestimated. He would send people to observe from time to time. My every move. Right now. I don’t have the strength to compete with you yet. When the time is right, I will show you my methods.”

The man threw away the brush in his hand and left the word "Dragon" on the rice paper, then pulled out a dagger from his pocket, and split the paper violently.Cai Wangzhao seemed to have only looked at the surface, and didn't see everything clearly. If he saw what happened behind, he must be very surprised. He was very careful that he was still discovered by someone, and he had already taken precautions.

The next day, Zhao Gou got up early.Because, apart from Song Jiang and others, the generals who exterminated Fang La this time also included Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others who had worked with him to put down the Liangshan Army's rebellion.At the same time, Zhao Gou issued a military order, ordering Zeng Xiaoyun, Jingxilu Dajun, Zhang Shuye and others, ordering them to lead the army to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to help him.

This time, Zhao Gou did not have any kindness, and decided to wipe out the Fangla uprising army, and kill anyone who stood in the way.Therefore, when Zhao Gou mobilized the army, he always asked them to do their best and ordered all the soldiers to come out.After Zhao Gou's military order was conveyed, no one dared to disobey it, and all assembled the army.

Before Zhao Gou set off, he had an extra piece of information on Fangla's rebel army in his hand.Even if there is only a little bit, the effect is not very big, it is better than knowing nothing, going to the battle without preparation, then the battle will be lost.In addition, Zhao Gou learned one thing from the intelligence, that is, a generation of treacherous officials Cai Jing died in the hands of Fang La.

"Cai Jing is dead?" Zhao Gou muttered to himself, and said, "It will save me from doing it myself. It's good for him to die. However, it's cheaper for him to die like this. Fang La really knows how to catch the people Xinyi, through Cai Jing's death, stimulated the support of the people and won the welcome of the people, it really kills two birds with one stone."

Zhao Gou carefully looked at the information of the investigation, there was not much on it, only what Fang La had done in recent years, he frowned and said: "There are still some evil sects entering it, these evil sects are really It must be dealt with properly, otherwise it will be a troublesome thing if there are too many congregants and there will be chaos."

The exact number of the rebel army led by Fang La is not stated in the intelligence, but the approximate number given is indeed hundreds of thousands.However, there are only about 30 soldiers who can really fight, and most of the others are civilians, just filling the numbers.Seeing such a result, Zhao Gou muttered: "If we really kill them all, I don't know how many innocent people will die, and the king's life will be unbearable. We will see the situation at that time!"

Zhao Gou wanted to rise for the Song Dynasty, but he didn't want to rise step by step on the bones of the people. Such a rise didn't mean anything to him.Therefore, Zhao Gou decided that Song Huizong said that he would kill without mercy, and no one would be spared.However, Zhao Gou still feels that some people are merciless when they should be killed, and should not be killed indiscriminately when they should not be killed.
