Chapter 196 Zhao Kaishan feels a headache
The generals of the Zhao family and the supervisors in their own army are all in the same family. Maybe they are relatively high in seniority. It is hard to say who will control who they are together.

For example, Zhao Zuoliang, who was very senior, was a junior officer who was sent to him by Zhao Kaishan, and he didn't dare to do anything offensive to Zhao Zuoliang.

If he wanted to do something a little bit, he would wither after being reprimanded by Zhao Zuoliang, and would not dare to make trouble.

But it is different for foreign generals.

It is not unimaginable for the generals with foreign surnames to do what those Zhao family supervisors can do.

Of the original five main armies, the Zhao family occupied three generals, and then Zhao Yucheng and Zhao Kaihe were taken down, and the situation changed.

Chen Qiaoshan still broke the enemy's control, Zhao Xiang still chose the front army to control, this has not changed.

The Beiwei Army led by Zhao Yucheng was taken over by Li Xiao, the Tabai Army led by Zhao Kaihe was handed over to Zhao Zuoliang, and the You Yi Army led by Li Xiao was handed over to another foreign general, Zhou Zhi.

In this way, the five main generals with internal and external surnames have become three, and there are only two generals in the family. The power of his own family is shrinking, and the power of outsiders is increasing, which makes Zhao Kaishan feel insecure.

Although Chen Qiaoshan and Li Xiao were both his own recruited subordinates for many years, and the newly promoted Zhou Zhi was also his subordinates for many years, there is no need for a reason for disbelief, and there is no need for a reason for suspicion.

It all depends on the ruler's own preferences.

So on the one hand, he added four armies, front, back, left, and right, and gave four bugles.

There are three Zhao family members in the four armies in the front, rear, left and right as commanding officers, and only one general with a foreign surname was selected. It was probably reluctantly arranged for the sake of public opinion, so as not to make the appearance too ugly.

As a result, five of the nine armies were from the Zhao family, and there were only four generals with foreign surnames. They were all from Zhao Kaishan's elite family team, and basically they could be counted as Zhao Kaishan's own people.

The result is to add the presence of the guards.

Basically, it can be said that the entire Zhao Kaishan family is a man, an adult, with hands and feet that are not disabled, with normal brains and no dementia, and they have already held positions in the Liberation Army.

It can be said that one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

And this also made foreign generals have a lot of discussions in private.

At first, I felt that Zhao Kaishan was too generous to the Zhao family, and he really didn't talk about martial arts, and it was ugly to eat.

Second, I felt that Zhao Kaishan was not at ease with everyone, and he began to be wary of everyone and so on, to limit everyone's power, which was a bit heartbreaking.

However, Zhao Kaishan wanted to add a firewall, which is not without precedent in itself. Positions such as supervisors are common in the army after the Song Dynasty, so no one raised any objections.

So taking this opportunity, Zhao Kaishan felt that the time had come, so he carried out Zhao Kaihe, who had been dismissed before, and let him be the supervisor of the Back Wei Army to monitor Li Xiao in an open and honest manner.

Zhao Kaihe lost the battle, even if he was a relative of Zhao Kaishan, if he continued to hold a military position, it would not be suitable, and it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the people.

Don't worry about the army and the war, just focus on Li Xiao's loyalty.

The fact that Li Xiao and Su Yonglin kept in touch by letter was not a secret in the army. Several people knew that it seemed that Chen Qiaoshan also had correspondence with Su Yonglin, as did his son Zhao Yucheng.

Su Yonglin's people left, but the influence was everywhere. Several people around him kept correspondence with Su Yonglin, and he didn't know what they were talking about, so he was very vigilant and upset.

Be sure to keep an eye on them and let me know if there is any bells and whistles!
Zhao Kaishan instructed Zhao Kaihe like this, and he instructed the other guards in the same way.

After all the nine major supervisors were in place, Zhao Kaishan felt a little more relaxed and felt that he could sleep a little more at ease.

Otherwise, it is really not very good to sleep peacefully.

After a good night's sleep, Zhao Kaishan can continue to send troops to "expand the territory" and occupy the state capital.

After the strategic separation, until mid-September, Zhao Kaishan occupied Tengzhou, Xuzhou, and Jeju successively, and took control of Caozhou and Shanzhou.

The Golden Soldiers in these places cannot be said to be very powerful, nor can they be said to be large in number. There is no organized garrison. When the army of the Restoration Army rushes, these local troops, whose main force is the Grain Shooting Army, are defeated like a mountain, and they flee in swarms.

Although most of these battles were directly commanded by Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan, and had nothing to do with Zhao Kaishan, since Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan were under his command, he certainly had his share of the credit.

Relying on these military exploits, Zhao Kaishan gradually wiped out the decline after the previous defeat, and his previously slightly unstable position became stable again.

At this time, Zhao Kai's messenger arrived and reported to Zhao Kaishan that the Southern Song Dynasty sent someone to appoint officials to recruit security.

Zhao Gou asked Zhao Kaishan to be the envoy of the East Shandong Road and the West Road, to control the military and political power of the two roads, and to have all the power to act cheaply.

Moreover, Zhao Kaishan can also arrange his own officials from various places. As long as the registration form is submitted, the court will not disagree in principle.

This is of course a favorable condition, but Zhao Kaishan felt a headache when he heard it.

To say that before, he still had fantasies and admiration for the Southern Song Dynasty court, but with the expansion of his power, he no longer wanted to be subservient to others and be a minister to an emperor who could not sleep.

That's embarrassing.

Moreover, it is not worthwhile to obey orders and damage one's own autonomy.

And the Southern Song Dynasty came to give officials and recruits at this time, didn't they just want to pick peaches?
You don't come when Lao Tzu needs you. You come only after Lao Tzu has made a name for himself. It is clear that I will come to take advantage.

Shameless to this point, it is rare.

But there is no way, who makes people a country after all?

Zhao Kaishan felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he still called Zhao Zuoliang, a high-ranking senator, to his side and asked him about this issue.

Zhao Zuoliang felt very embarrassed.

In fact, he is relatively good at being a human being, but when it comes to practical things, his ability is limited. It can only be said that his head is relatively clear and it is not easy to get confused, but decision-making is still not easy.

Zhao Kaishan saw that Zhao Zuoliang had a hard time deciding, so he called Zhao Xiang over as well.

Although this incompetent clansman will not have any achievements in the military, but there is still cleverness. Zhao Kaishan feels that he needs Zhao Zuoliang's clear head and Zhao Xiang's cleverness. The two together can be regarded as a military advisor.

Even if it is a dog-headed military division.

Zhao Xiang was full of bad water, and liked to take advantage of it. He was immediately interested when he heard that the Southern Song Dynasty had sent someone to teach officials and recruit security.

"Accept, why don't you accept it? Wouldn't it be a waste not to accept such a good opportunity? How many people are begging for such an opportunity, but my brother got it without any effort, so why worry about it?"

"Accept? Then am I not the courtier of that eunuch Zhao Gou? How can I be willing to be a courtier of an eunuch? And I have to obey his orders. I have an army of 20, why should I submit to others?"

Zhao Kaishan was very upset.

Zhao Xiang quickly persuaded.

"The problem is not in Zhao Gou, but in the fact that Song State is a big country and can stand against the Jin people, isn't my brother always worried that we will not be able to resist after the Jin army marches south? At that time, isn't the Song State official position on us an escape route? ?
If we win, then it doesn't matter. We win. As long as we have enough strength, the Zhao Guan family can't force us to do anything. It's even possible to rule the river. If we lose, we will retreat directly to the southern country. Not a way out. "

"This……"

Zhao Xiang's words made Zhao Kaishan a little moved.

Indeed, he does have similar concerns, and it is indeed his wish to restrict Su Yonglin, but now that the dust has settled, he is the unshakable commander of the Restoration Army. Of course, he has to take into account the life and death of the Restoration Army.

If Su Yonglin was finished in Hebei, it would be difficult for the Restoration Army to withstand the attack of the Jin Army.

At that time, the army will be defeated like a mountain, the entire Shandong will have no place to stand, and the family will face the demise, then it will be a bad thing.

He still had a fresh memory of the [-]-[-] troops being pressed and rubbed on the ground by the Jin Army's [-] cavalry.

That's all for 18. If it's [-], don't you just enter the next reincarnation and fast-forward [-] years later?
No no no.

Zhao Kaishan didn't want to be punished, so they needed a way out.

As an official of the Song Dynasty, when the foundation of Shandong is over, the Zhao family will not have nowhere to go. They can only be trapped to death in Shandong, and then killed. In the end, there is still a way to go.

But if you don't become an official of Song State, then the Restoration Army will be finished, and they want to escape to Song State, but Song State will not accept it, then what should we do?
Zhao Kaishan thought of this, and felt that this matter was really necessary.

Even if it's just a way out for yourself?

So Zhao Kaishan nodded slightly, and was about to say something when Zhao Zuoliang suddenly felt worried and expressed concern.

"Of course it's a good idea, but if we lose, will Zhao Guan's family really accept us? It's still a question, right? When the golden man asks Zhao Guan's family to want us, will Zhao Guan's family betray us?"
