Chapter 197 The "trick" of the dog-head military division

Whether it should be said or not, this question raised by Zhao Zuoliang hits the worry in Zhao Kaishan's heart.

Zhao Xiang thought about it seriously, and suddenly felt at a loss.

This is actually quite right.

With the virtue of the Southern Song Dynasty, if everyone went to defect to them, would they betray their group of people under the pressure of Jin Guo in exchange for peace?

Su Yonglin told them a lot of scandals about the Southern Song Dynasty court at that time, and gave them a lot of eye drops, so the top officials of the Restoration Army basically held an attitude of contempt and distrust towards the Southern Song Dynasty.

Now the mouth is full of benefits, the ghost knows if the backstab will make everyone give up?
The three were silent for a while, before Zhao Xiang spoke uncertainly.

"It shouldn't be, right? They betrayed us, and no one will believe them in the whole Central Plains in the future. If Zhao Guan's family wanted to restore the Central Plains, they would not do so. I thought Zhao Guan's family should want to restore the Central Plains, and they were familiar with the terrain. We, who are also locals, are still useful to Zhao Guan’s family.”

Zhao Kaishan thought for a while, then nodded slowly, feeling that what Zhao Xiang said also made sense.

"Although it is said that he can't go to bed, he is still an emperor after all. I don't think people who are emperors are unbelievable. Don't they all say Jun Wu's jokes?"

Although Zhao Zuoliang still had some doubts, both Zhao Kaishan and Zhao Xiang felt that this official could accept it.

The envoys of the Shandong East Road and the Shandong East Road hold the military and political power of the two roads. They are actually the uncrowned kings of Shandong. They can also arrange their own official positions to be canonized by the Lin'an court, and the Lin'an court will not refute in principle.

That is to say, the autonomy is very strong, and the Southern Song Dynasty court will not be able to command remotely.

Such favorable conditions, if you say that you are not interested, it is really a bit high for Zhao Kaishan.

So Zhao Kaishan had already decided in his heart to accept the Southern Song Dynasty's recruitment as the foundation of his entire strategic plan.

If you advance, you can plan for a bigger cause, and if you retreat, you can at least spend your later years in the Southern Song Dynasty, so that even the ashes will not be taken away by Jin Guoyang.

The plan still looks good.

However, there are still some problems with this plan.

Such as Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi.

The existence of these two people made him stick in his throat, but these two people also controlled a considerable part of the population and land of Shandong East Road and Shandong East Road, almost three-thirds of the world with him.

In fact, the current political ecology of Shandong is a state of three-legged confrontation. Zhao Kaishan is called the Lord of the Restoration Army, but Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi both have a strong sense of independence and do not listen to him completely.

He issued an order in the past, and the two of them would probably not listen to him, nor would they cooperate with him. Finding an excuse to reject it would be a way of saving face.

Zhao Kaishan only controlled a little more than a third of the land in Shandong, which made his two-way system look a bit unreal.

In response to his concern, Zhao Xiang proposed a "trick".

"Just don't write these two people on the list of appointments, and don't tell them about this, just write our people directly. When the Zhao Guan's side is confirmed, let's look at the situation and use this appointment list to call someone to take office. , then we have a reason.

If Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi feel dissatisfied, that's fine. Anyway, the problem lies with Zhao Guan's family. The official is sealed by Zhao Guan's family, not our own. "

Zhao Xiang's stinky and shameless idea looks terrible to Zhao Kaishan, it is simply fragrant and makes people drool.

He took the benefits, and let the eunuch Zhao Gou take the blame. Can such good things happen every day?

Zhao Zuoliang objected to this.

"This is very likely to irritate Sun Ziyi and Su Yonglin. If the two of them jumped over the wall and marched south, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Restoration Army? The enemy is in the north, and there can be no problems within the Restoration Army!"

Zhao Kaishan hesitated.

This is indeed a problem. Of course, what he cares about is not the Jin army going south, but the strength of Su Yonglin's army.

Sun Ziyi was fine, but he saw the strength of Su Yonglin's soldiers.

If you really want to push Su Yonglin in a hurry, and bring an elite army to fight with him passionately, it won't do him any good, right?
Zhao Xiang disagreed.

"It doesn't have to be this way, but it depends on the situation. If Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi make a name for themselves, then it's natural to assume that this incident never happened. Would Zhao Guan's family dare to force us? Would he dare to go north?

If Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi were defeated by the Jin people at that time, the army was gone, the power was gone, what else do we need to worry about?Taking the imperial decree of Zhao Guan's family as an excuse, the problem is all of Zhao Guan's family, not ours. What does it have to do with us? "

Zhao Xiang's words are in line with Zhao Kaishan's appetite.

Zhao Kaishan immediately nodded and said yes.

"Yes, it depends on the situation, mainly depends on the situation. If the situation is wrong, don't disclose the news. If the situation is right, take it out."

Zhao Xiang expressed his absolute support.

Speaking of which, Zhao Zuoliang had no clear reason to object, so he could only express no objection against his will.

But in his heart, he still felt that this kind of stabbing in the back was really not something that someone who did big things could do.

The thief is playing with care, and the pattern is really low.

But who made Zhao Kaishan the Zhao family?

Once this idea was confirmed, Zhao Kaishan immediately prepared to act. He immediately instructed Zhao Kai to arrange reliable personnel to send the Southern Song envoy to Jeju. He would wait here for a while to meet the Southern Song envoy and solve the problem.

So the emissary knight arrived at Haizhou quickly, Zhao Kai immediately acted according to Zhao Kaishan's order, and arranged for a reliable man to escort the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty to Jeju.

In the middle and late September, the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty arrived in Jeju and met Zhao Kaishan here. Zhao Kaishan warmly welcomed the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty and had a cordial conversation with him. The two had a very pleasant conversation.

During the period, the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty asked the Liberation Army's current strength, control range and the target of the next military action, intentionally or unintentionally. Zhao Kaishan thought this was a great opportunity to show his strength.

So he bragged.

"The Restoration Army has already controlled Shandong East Road, West Road, and Damingfu Road. The next step is to march west and north with 30 troops, enter Guanzhong in the west, and enter Hebei in the north, and send troops in two directions to drive out the gold thieves in the Central Plains. !"

The messenger was shocked.

"The Restoration Army has 30 troops?"

"Naturally, heroes from Shandong have joined the Restoration Army one after another. The 30 troops of the Restoration Army is by no means a false number, nor is it a title. I am not talented, but the leader of the 30 Restoration Army. Before your envoy came, he had ordered the army to go north and west , the current progress is going smoothly, and the gold thief has almost no power to fight back!"

Zhao Kaishan patted his chest and made a big blow, making himself the savior of the Han people in the Central Plains. The light of hope for the restoration of the Central Plains in the Southern Song Dynasty is the most reliable support for Zhao Guan's family to return to the old capital.

In this regard, the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty expressed doubts in their hearts, but after visiting the barracks of the Restoration Army, they maintained relative trust in the number of their troops.

Because the number of people is indeed large, and the darkness is overwhelming at a glance, it is true that an army of this size cannot be pulled up by a group of liars.

So the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty felt more solemn and expected, and asked Zhao Kaishan to hand over the list of officials he was going to appoint to him, and he would take it back to the Lin'an court for confirmation, and finally issue the official appointment document.

Zhao Kaishan took out the list that had already been drawn up.

This list completely abandons Su Yonglin's Shengjie Army Group and Sun Ziyi's Shenwu Army Group. The actual control area of ​​the two of them is also regarded as his own by Zhao Kaishan, who has arranged for his own people to be county magistrates, state prefects, Jiedu envoys or others. Defensive.

In addition, regarding the official position of general manager, the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty suggested that Zhao Kaishan should not set it up, but should follow the formal official model, because the Southern Song Dynasty did not have this type of official official position.

Positions such as appeasement envoys can be set up to let some trustworthy people specialize in military and political affairs in a certain area, which is more in line with the regulations of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kaishan accepted it and accepted the messenger's suggestion. In addition to his own control messenger, he also set up several appeasement messengers.

For example, the area actually controlled by Su Yonglin was assigned directly to Zhao Zuoliang by Zhao Kaishan, and Zhao Zuoliang was assigned to be the appeasement envoy of the Dongping area, while the actual jurisdiction of Sun Ziyi was assigned to Zhao Xiang, and Zhao Xiang was assigned to be the appeasement envoy in the Yidu Mansion area.

After the division of official positions was completed, Zhao Kaishan bid farewell to the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty, saying that he was going to continue the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition.

On September 21, the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty embarked on the road to return to the Southern Song Dynasty with their own achievements. They entered the Song Dynasty in early October and arrived at Lin'an Mansion on the fifth day of October, reporting their achievements directly to the Privy Council Chen Chengzhi.

Chen Chengzhi got the news that Zhao Kaishan was willing to cooperate and his list of awards.

"What is certain is that the Shandong East Road and the Shandong East Road have been completely controlled by the Restoration Army, and the Jin people were almost wiped out. When the subordinates passed by, the Restoration Army was preparing for the Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition, saying that it would send an army of 30 to the West. The Northern Expedition went west into Guanzhong and north into Hebei."

Chen Chengzhi was shocked.

"30? Is the number reliable?"
