Qiming 1158

Chapter 321 A world that exists based on Zhao Gou as a human benchmark cannot exist
Having decided that this is not a solution, Zhao Xiang began to act.

He transferred the most reliable army selected front troops to Linyi City to serve as the guard force of Linyi City. Some of them were stationed in the city, and some of them were stationed outside the city.

Then he was still worried that the strength of an army was not enough, and he transferred the two troops of the rear army led by Zhao Xiong and the left army led by Zhao Yi to the north and west of Linyi City as the outer protection of Linyi City.

The rest of the troops controlled by the Zhao family should also be prepared for emergencies.

It was only after the urgent completion of the military mobilization in Linyi City that he sent people to announce Zhao Kaishan's death and Zhao Xiang's replacement as the leader of the Restoration Army.

Of course, Su Yonglin sent a special person to report, and it was quite grand, carrying a lot of gifts, making it clear that it was prepared to please Su Yonglin.

Not to mention Su Yonglin's side for the time being, just talking about Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan's side, they were very surprised by this sudden funeral and the change of the position of commander-in-chief of the Restoration Army.

The death of Zhao Kaishan has already surprised and saddened them, and Zhao Xiang's superior is even more surprised.

Zhao Kaishan passed away, shouldn't it be Zhao Yucheng who succeeded him as the leader of the Restoration Army?
Zhao Kaishan had previously identified Zhao Yucheng as the acting leader, so why isn't Zhao Yucheng taking up this position now?
Why Zhao Xiang?

In addition to feeling strange, Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan smelled a strong conspiracy, and felt that Linyi City at this moment must be a Longtan Tiger Den, easy to get in, but difficult to get out.

However, it was their respective supervisors who came to invite them.

So they understood that there must be something wrong with the Zhao family, Zhao Yucheng was pushed out, Zhao Xiang stood out and became the successor of the Zhao family, and also the successor of the Restoration Army.

Good guy, let your Zhao family play understand!

In desperation, Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan could only go to Linyi City to attend Zhao Kaishan's funeral and Zhao Xiang's enthronement ceremony.

Although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, the territory of Zhao Kaishan's ruled area is small, but it is related to the new commander's superior position.

So that the people who came to the funeral didn't even know if Zhao Xiang really held a funeral for Zhao Kaishan.

Although people have many doubts in their hearts, the Zhao family holds absolute military power. They think that Zhao Xiang can do it, so they will solve it in private, and of course outsiders cannot interfere.

Even so, there are some people who don't like Zhao Xiang or don't know the existence of this person at all, they don't care about Zhao Xiang at all, they just pay homage to Zhao Kaishan, and condolences to Mrs. Zhao and her children who are tools. , and then left.

They didn't care where Zhao Yucheng was, and they didn't care about Zhao Xiang. They just knew that they couldn't change it, so they chose to ignore it.

Anyway, this group of people has basically been in a state of detachment towards Zhao, and the reason why they still come to worship is just to recite Zhao Kaishan's last face and the banner of the Restoration Army.

Among this group of people, quite a few were already ready to offer an olive branch to Su Yonglin.

Although Zhao Xiang was unhappy, he also had no concerns about these stragglers and other non-staff personnel. Apart from Su Yonglin, only Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan deserved his concern.

Seeing the two coming, Zhao Xiang cheered up, watched the two cry and sacrificed Zhao Kaishan, condolences to Mrs. Zhao and several children, and then came to him.

"I didn't expect my brother to go so early. The grief of the two generals, the elder brother should have already received. With the two generals so concerned, the elder brother will definitely be comforted by the spirit of the sky."

Zhao Xiang looked sad.

Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan looked at each other, they were silent for a while, and finally Li Xiao, who had a straighter temper, spoke up.

"Dare to ask the commander-in-chief, where is General Zhao?"

"General Zhao? Which General Zhao?"

Zhao Xiang rubbed his eyes.

"Zhao Yucheng."

Zhao Xiang's body trembled slightly.

"Yucheng was so sad because of his father's death that he fell ill on the hospital bed and was in a coma. I sent the best doctor to treat him. He can't see anyone yet. I will tell you about the two generals' concerns Let Yucheng know."

Li Xiao was not satisfied with this answer.

"Before, the commander-in-chief had asked General Zhao to succeed him in front of us. This is something we all know, but now, I am very puzzled why you suddenly succeeded as the commander-in-chief. I hope you can help us. I am puzzled."

"What is there to doubt about?"

Zhao Xiang shook his head: "Before Yucheng served as the commander-in-chief, not only did he not unite his comrades in arms and win over people's hearts, but instead made great reforms, and the more he changed, the more chaotic the situation became.

When my brother found out about this, he was very worried, worried that Yucheng would not be able to do this job well, so he called me over before his death, and handed me the position of commander-in-chief and asked me to lead the Restoration Army. "

Can you do this?

Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan looked at each other and felt that Zhao Xiang's words seemed to be made up, but after thinking about it, they felt that this was actually quite reasonable and made sense.

Zhao Yucheng's previous actions were indeed quite reckless, and many people were dissatisfied, which was not surprising.

Is it really so?
To be honest, Zhao Xiang is not happy about this situation.

When questioned, he was not happy.

But at the same time he was very happy.

The reason is very simple. What Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan did did not surprise him. They were still so direct and said everything instead of hiding it in their hearts. Such people seem difficult to deal with, but they are actually very good. deal with.

While Zhao Xiang felt embarrassed, he also felt a different kind of happiness.

And the two actually called him "Leader", which is more important than anything else.

Zhao Xiang has already reduced the danger of Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan to the lowest level.

Compared with Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan, Su Yonglin is a little more dangerous.

Zhao Xiang's guess was actually correct, because Su Yonglin had other channels to learn about what Zhao Xiang tried so hard to hide.

Zhao Kaishan's mansion was like a sieve, it was not only penetrated by Zhao Xiang, but also by Su Yonglin.

A few days before the convoy arranged by Zhao Xiang came to Hejian Mansion with great fanfare, Su Yonglin had already obtained relevant information, and the content of the information was quite specific.

Su Yonglin also knew about Zhao Yucheng's plans to reform the Liberation Army and clearing up the land.

Su Yonglin sighed a little when he learned of Zhao Kaishan's death.

I recalled a little bit of Zhao Kaishan's high-spirited and majestic when he met Zhao Kaishan for the first time at sea, and his listless appearance when we met for the last time.

Time is indeed a killing knife, it can change a lot of things, and it can also change a lot of people.

The final impression Zhao Kaishan left on Su Yonglin was very bad. Su Yonglin very much hoped that the final influence Zhao Kaishan left on him was also a heroic image who dared to fight with the army of the Jin Kingdom.

It's a pity that he left Su Yonglin with the impression that he was the king's forerunner who was a second-rate military third-rate infighting, who couldn't eat, eat, and leave nothing.

There are no commendable achievements, no commendable achievements, the ability is the same, and the level is the same.

But anyway, Zhao Kaishan also has one of the biggest advantages - dare to fight.

He is not afraid of the Jin people, not afraid of the soldiers of the Jin army, dares to fight against the Jin army, and dares to fight with blood. This alone is enough.

Su Yonglin even thought that, with the same surname as Zhao, if Zhao Kaishan was placed in Zhao Gou's position, future generations' perceptions of the Southern Song Dynasty should not be that bad.

Although he is reckless, although he is stupid, although he is jealous of the virtuous, but at least as a leader, he is not cowardly, and dares to grin at the golden man, and bite at Jin Guo's body for a while, and the bite of Jin Guo is dripping with blood.

Thinking of this, Su Yonglin shook his head again and sighed.

There is no doubt that Zhao Kaishan is a lousy person. Except for his courage, he has almost nothing to praise, and his achievements are just like that. He did not fly when he stood on the wind.

But because of the existence of Zhao Gou, Zhao Kaishan's image suddenly became taller.

Zhao Gouzhen is a miraculous figure who has lowered the average human beings in the world. Anyone who can compare with him, as long as he has a little courage and dares to grin at the enemy, his image will immediately become taller.

If Zhao Gou is the benchmark for mankind, the image of the entire human world will suddenly become taller... No, if Zhao Gou is the benchmark for mankind, human civilization may have perished.

It seems that a world that exists based on Zhao Gou as a human benchmark cannot exist.

Su Yonglin shook his head and put down all his memories of Zhao Kaishan and Zhao Gou's reverie.

The only thing he is looking forward to now is that Zhao Gou can live longer, preferably until he sends millions of troops to the south. At that time, he really wants to have a long talk with Zhao Gou, learn about his inner world, and eat together by the way. A bowl of snails with clear juice.

Zhao Kaishan died, he completed his historical mission and bought enough time for Su Yonglin's development and growth.

Now that he has fallen, he no longer exists. No one can continue to buy time for Su Yonglin's development and growth. Su Yonglin has no more time. He must look forward and move forward.

So he called Tian Guizi and Xin Qiji, told them about the matter, and discussed it.

The two were not surprised by Zhao Kaishan's death, but felt that Zhao Kaishan died a little early and a little quickly, which caught them off guard.

But then they learned of Zhao Xiang's actions and Zhao Yucheng's failure.

"What? Zhao Xiang can actually do such a thing?"

Tian Guizi was very angry, and said angrily: "What he did is equivalent to treason, Alang, for this reason, we can justly attack him!"

"It's not right, just crusade against him will only make him jump over the wall and do a lot of things I don't want to see, such as returning to the Song Dynasty, and even investing in gold. There is nothing that this person can't do."

Su Yonglin shook his head: "At this time, the main force of our army is concentrated in the north to fight against the golden thieves, it is inconvenient to move a lot of south, the movement is too big, and it is not very good for my overall planning, my main attack direction is still the north, not the south. It's just a pity Yucheng..."

Tian Guizi shook his head.

"I'm afraid that Alang doesn't want to cause trouble, but that villain Zhao Xiang wants to take the initiative to find trouble."

Xin Qiji didn't know much about Zhao Xiang, and he didn't have much interaction with him, so he asked, "Is Zhao Xiang a villain?"

"Not only the villain, but also had a bad time with Alang."

"Is there such a thing?"

Xin Qiji was a little surprised and looked at Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin nodded.

"Well, it was more than a year ago. At the beginning of the uprising, we rebelled in Yizhou. I was in charge of conquering the countryside. Commander Zhao took Linyi County directly. When I went to Linyi County, I met this Zhao Xiang who was preparing to fight. The wealthy woman in the city is doing bad things, and I stop him, and he will not be happy with me."

Su Yonglin put his hands on his chest and said slowly, "I don't have a good opinion of this person. This person is narrow-minded, short-sighted, and insane. Good thing."

"How did he do it? Such a villain shouldn't be able to accomplish anything?"

"Are there still few villains who have done things in the past?"

Su Yonglin sneered: "Originally if my husband-in-law was still there, it would have been my husband-in-law who would call the shots, but unfortunately his father-in-law has been dismissed. Among the remaining Zhao family members in the army, he has the highest status, and he was also the confidant of Zhao Lingshuai before, probably that's the case. It was only recommended by the relatives of the Zhao clan in the army.

You don't need to mention that there are nine main armies of the Shandong Guangfu Army, and six of them are the relatives of the Zhao family as commanders. As for the nine supervisors of the nine armies, there are seven surnames Zhao, which is equal to eighteen who hold real power. Among the people, thirteen are from the Zhao family.

This time Yucheng wanted to make some restructuring of the Liberation Army, and moved the meat eaters who were lying down eating meat in the Liberation Army, but they were unhappy. Just as Zhao Kaishan died, they followed the trend and defeated Yucheng and supported him. Zhao Xiang came to power. "

"This...how can a crony be so good!"

Xin Qiji said disdainfully: "I used to think that Zhao Lingshuai had no courage. I never thought that he would be so nepotism, how could such a nepotism succeed? What a waste of his courageous son."

"How can this kind of person still have more than [-] main forces and more than [-] followers. The strength is almost the same as mine. Where can I make sense?"

Su Yonglin smiled helplessly.

Tian Guizi shook his head.

"These are not important, Alang, I thought there was such a change in Shandong, and I had to guard against it. We still don't know what Zhao Xiang's attitude towards us. It is better to take the initiative instead of being afraid."

"Yours is justified. Yucheng has already failed, so he definitely can't do anything. There are too many relatives of Zhao's family in the army, and other more rational officers can't do anything. Once Zhao Xiang wants to do something shameful, No one can stop him."

Su Yonglin gently rubbed his temples with both hands, loosened his tense nerves a little, and said slowly: "Although Zhao Kaishan has a small stomach, his position is relatively clear. Xiang is different."
