Qiming 1158

Chapter 892 You Are Really Unfaithful To Me
Although the two countries signed the Lin'an Treaty, Shi Hao couldn't believe the credibility of the Ming Kingdom, especially Su Yonglin.

He also needs the ministers to immediately realize that this is a time of life and death for the Southern Song Dynasty. Please let go of your political struggle immediately, and start doing business for me immediately. Don't continue to chase and beat Zhang Junyu's party, otherwise you will die together. !
Zhao Tan broke out in a cold sweat after receiving Shi Hao's list.

Most of the Jiangnan West Road was occupied by the bandit army?

Is this special girl a bandit?
This is a separatist warlord!
Zhao Tan immediately realized that he had greatly underestimated the influence that this bandit army could have, and greatly overestimated the resistance and responsiveness of the local officials on Jiangnan West Road, so that he missed the opportunity to sit back and watch the bandit army grow and occupy the army. Most of Jiangnan West Road.

Now this bandit army is definitely not a simple bandit army, they are separatist warlord forces that threaten the Zhao family regime in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Tan was frightened and annoyed at the same time, so he ordered Shang Shusheng to immediately clarify the meaning of this war.

This is not a fight against bandits, this is a counter-insurgency operation, a counter-insurgency operation that concerns the life and death of the country.

For the three officials who entered the palace at this stall to meet Zhao Tan and demanded that the political struggle be expanded and Zhang Junyu's party be wiped out completely, Zhao Tan said nothing, and went directly to prison. He was sentenced to ten years, and his family property was not confiscated.

Dare to say such a thing again, delay the business, this is the end.

The officials were terrified and trembling, and suddenly they did not dare to mention the matter of cleaning up Zhang Junyu's party.

At the same time, Zhao Tan personally entered the Wanshou Palace to find Zhao Gou and told Zhao Gou about this.

What he said was rather euphemistic, but Zhao Gou could still hear it. The bandits on Jiangnan West Road became bigger, and the first wave of the imperial court's expedition failed, and now a second expedition is needed to solve the problem.

Zhao Gou didn't care about Zhao Tan's words, he knew very well what the problem was, so he turned pale with fright, and then pointed at Zhao Tan's nose and cursed.

He scolded Zhao Tan for being incompetent, and he regretted passing the throne to Zhao Tan so early, without taking into account that Zhao Tan was pushed to the top at that time.

Zhao Tan didn't care about this, but looked at Zhao Gou eagerly.

"The Jinghu army suffered heavy losses, and the Jiangbei defense line was empty. At present, only the Xiangyang area still maintains its defensive power. Once the news of the bandits spread to the Ming Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom knew that our Jinghu army suffered heavy losses. , Da Song will be cut off in the middle."

Zhao Gou was in a hurry.

"Then what are you still doing here? Go to work! Fill the vacancy and destroy the bandit army! Come on!"

"Taihuang, I need an army! I need a lot of troops!"

Zhao Tan said eagerly: "Shi Hao suggested that I dispatch the Lin'an Imperial Army to fill the vacancy in Jinghu Lake, but I can only mobilize the banned army of [-], which is far from enough. I need to mobilize the army of the Dianqian Division to help the battle! I hope the emperor will see it. For the sake of the Great Song Kingdom, promise me!"

Zhao Tan bowed down to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou was stunned for a while, thinking about it, fidgeting, walking around, circle after circle.

Good guy, I knew that your kid was uneasy and kind, but I didn't expect that it was my life-threatening idea.

Zhao Conceived to refuse, but Zuo Siyou thought that refusing would not do him any good. If the Song Dynasty ended, what would he do in his later years?

No matter how mad Zhao Tan is, he won't attack him, so it's okay to give him a little army...but not too much!
So Zhao Gou made a decision.

"I can't give you all. If I give you all, it will be broken if the Ming army comes again. No one can protect me. Then I will give you one... no, it's too little, then twenty thousand, I will give you 2." people!"

"Emperor! I need more troops! More! The more troops, the better. As for the safety of the emperor, I promise that I will protect the emperor with my life!"

Zhao Tan eagerly stepped forward and asked to bow down.

Zhao Gou took a few steps back and said eagerly: "You protect me? How do you protect me? What do you use to protect me? You can't even protect yourself, yet protect me? I know you want an army, so why don't I?

Now I have given you [-] yuan, and the remaining [-] yuan cannot be given to you anyway!That's my praetorian!Do you want me to have no army at all?Or are you trying to hurt me? ! "

Zhao Tan looked at Zhao Gou in amazement, not understanding why he was able to open up such a big brain at this moment.

What good will it do me to kill you?
Zhao Tan wanted to explain, but he soon realized that the explanation was invalid, and Zhao Gou would not listen to him at all.

In desperation, Zhao Tan could only accept Zhao Gou's proposal, and obtained the army of the former Division of the [-] Palace, together with the [-] forbidden troops under his control, to form a reinforcement of [-] forbidden troops, which was handed over to the Privy Council and Shi Hao to be responsible for scheduling.

But Shi Hao was not happy.

Because the composition of this army is questionable.

To be precise, this army has problems at the command level.

Zhao Gou did hand over the [-] troops to Zhao Tan for dispatch, but he had a precondition that the [-] troops must be handed over to the generals he designated to lead them.

This person is Qi Fang.

General Qi Fang, who was just taken out of the death row by Zhao Gou.

Zhao Tan's expression immediately turned bitter to that of Huang Lian.

He listened to Zhang Jun's statement at that time and almost killed Qi Fang. Qi Fang must have no loyalty to him, and must only obey Zhao Gou's orders, which of course guaranteed Zhao Gou's ownership of the army to the greatest extent possible.

Zhao Gou used Qi Fang to command the army, which made it clear that he did not trust Zhao Tan, and made it clear that he wanted to divide the military power with Zhao Tan.

The [-] troops that were finally gathered together still can't make a unified order?

But this is Zhao Gou's attitude, Zhao Tan is helpless.

Shi Hao couldn't agree, so he personally entered the Wanshou Palace to lobby Zhao Gou, hoping that Zhao Gou could hand over all the troops to the Privy Council for the sake of national crisis, and Qi Fang could participate in the war, but he would not become the commander of an army.

But let him say that it is useless, Zhao Gou is determined to let Qi Fang lead his army of [-], and he will never allow Zhao Tan to interfere with the belongings of the army of [-].

Zhao Gou still believed that Zhao Tan might take the opportunity to seize the command of his army.

Even now the Southern Song Dynasty is in danger.

Shi Hao, who behaved in such a manner, scolded Zhao Gou for being short-sighted on the way back to the Privy Council, scolding Zhao Gou for caring only about himself and disregarding the Song Dynasty, and not even caring about his own honor.

But there is no way, this army is to listen to Zhao Gou, it is Zhao Gou's Guards, they can't take it by force.

In desperation, Shi Hao had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and seconded Yang Cunzhong to Zhao Gou to serve as the army's chief general.

He felt that Yang Cunzhong himself was the palace commander, the chief general who led this army, and he had deep qualifications.

As a result, Zhao Gou didn't say anything yet, and Zhao Tan was not happy.

Zhao Tan didn't trust Yang Cunzhong, felt that Yang Cunzhong was Zhao Gou's henchman and didn't respect him enough, and felt that handing over the army to Yang Cunzhong would affect his control over his own army.

Yang Cunzhong has deep qualifications and high prestige. If he leads the army to win the battle, wouldn't the Ma Junsi and the Guards Infantry Division, which he managed to directly control, become Zhao Gou's troops completely?
Shi Hao almost fainted.

Are you really father and son?

But you are clearly not related by blood!

O my majesty!You are the descendant of Taizu!You are the descendant of Taizu!

When the country is in crisis, you are actually thinking about this?

Consider whether your throne is stable or not!

Shi Hao then reluctantly did ideological work for Zhao Tan, saying that state affairs are great, Yang Cunzhong is a veteran, although he is under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Emperor and is loyal to the Supreme Emperor, he is also quite loyal to the country.

When he was guarding Lin'an, wasn't Yang Cunzhong the one who stepped forward to stabilize the army, so that the Ming army did not invade Lin'an?
The Emperor Taishang is alive, of course Yang Cunzhong will protect the Emperor Taishang, but the Emperor Taishang will become the Emperor of Daxing sooner or later. Will Yang Cunzhong still follow the Emperor Taishang?

Zhao Tan thought for a while and felt that he had no choice. At this time, the best candidate was indeed Yang Cunzhong, who was highly qualified and respected, so under Shi Hao's repeated pleas, Zhao Tan was relieved.

After finally persuading Zhao Tan, Zhao Gou was not happy again.

It turned out that Zhao Gou felt that Yang Cunzhong was the only military general he could really trust, and the last and most important line of defense for his safety. No matter what went wrong, he would have Yang Cunzhong to protect him, and then he could feel at ease.

You want Yang Cunzhong to fight, what if someone wants to kill me while he is fighting?
Faced with this question, Shi Hao was about to cry.

"If someone murders the Emperor Taishang, Shi Hao should protect the Emperor Taishang with his life, and those who want to murder the Emperor Taishang directly step on my body! Otherwise, it will never touch the Emperor Taishang! Please agree to the Emperor Taishang!"

Shi Hao's eyes were cracked, and he kowtowed to the ground three times in a row, and the ground was muffled.

But Zhao Gou was unmoved.

"You really are unfaithful to me, you only want to die, gain a good reputation, and be your loyal minister recorded in the history books, but you don't even think about what will I do after you die? Do you want me to be with you? die?
You are dead, no one will protect me, I will die too, is this your purpose?Yang Cunzhong would not think so, he will lead the army to protect me to the ends of the earth.

His attitude is to protect my life even if he is dead, let me be safe first, and then he will die, this is the real loyal minister, so don't say it anymore, I will never let Yang Cunzhong play. "

Zhao Gou's bizarre and paranoid thinking makes Shi Hao exhausted.

He was desperate, he withdrew from the Longevity Palace feebly, told Zhao Tan about the matter, and let Zhao Tan make a decision.

Zhao Tan was furious, very dissatisfied with Zhao Gou's behavior, resentful in his heart, and felt that Zhao Gou was unreasonable.

Afterwards, he refused to accept Yang Cunzhong's proposal to be the commander, and instead decided that the [-] troops would set off separately and fight their own.

The Guard Ma Jun Division went to Chizhou to make up for the defense line of the Chizhou Army, and the Guard Infantry Division went to Jiujiang to supplement the defense line of the Jiujiang Army.

Then Qi Fang was appointed to lead the army of the former Secretary of the [-] Halls to counter-attack Jiangnan West Road.

Of course it wasn't Qi Fang's army. Wu Gong was also ordered to lead the 2 remaining Ezhou army under Tian Shizhong to attack the bandit army on Jiangnan West Road. The two walked again for several months from different directions and different routes. previous journey.

It's like reopening the strategy.

But this is also impossible, the court really does not have more troops to mobilize in a short period of time.
Qi Fang and Wu Gong have both participated in the fight against thieves, and they also have a certain understanding of the bandit army on Jiangnan West Road, including a better understanding of the local terrain.

However, Shi Hao is also a long-sighted person.

He knew the contradiction between Qi Fang and Wu Gong, so he divided the war zone between Wu Gong and Qi Fang.

He decided to hand over Longxing House, Linjiang Army, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou, Junzhou and other places to Wu Gong to take charge of the recovery.

Qi Fang was responsible for the recovery of Jianchang Army, Ganzhou, Jizhou, Nan'an Army and other places.

The two armies perform their own duties, do not belong to each other, and have no responsibility for each other. They all directly obey the orders of the Privy Council, and they are absolutely not allowed to have disputes in private. It is best not to contact each other.

Shi Hao still felt that it was not enough, so he continued to set the rules, saying that if the enemy army broke into the opponent's theater, even if the thieves were defeated and pursued, as long as they crossed the border, the two armies were not allowed to pursue each other, and it was enough to send someone to inform them.

This is a rule. There is no such thing as a loss or a loss. Those who follow the rules will be rewarded by the Privy Council. If they don’t follow the rules, they will face punishment even if they win.

After reaching this point, Shi Hao felt that everything was going well, and there should be no conflict between the two armies.

At the same time, Shi Hao felt that neither Wu Gong nor Qi Fang had a good way to deal with the bandit army, and they were not strong generals. The idea of ​​the army and famous generals.

At that time, of course, Wu Lin, who was the Dinghai Shenzhen in the Sichuan-Shu area, was the leading general of the Song Dynasty. However, Wu Lin's goal was too big, and he was mainly responsible for guarding the Hanzhong area and directly facing the threat of the Ming army in Guanzhong. His responsibilities were important and should not be taken lightly.

After thinking about it, Shi Hao decided to list Zhao Tan and ask Zhao Tan to allow Yao Zhong, one of the three generals in the Chuan-Shu Theater, to participate in this battle.

Shi Hao's opinion was that the three generals of Sichuan and Shu were led by Wu Lin, who was also the god of the sea in Sichuan and Shu, so as long as Wu Lin was there, the area of ​​Sichuan and Shu would be stable.

On this basis, dispatching general Yao Zhong, who has always been brave and good at fighting, and his elite troops may make a difference in the battle situation.

Zhao Tan is not opposed to this suggestion, but he feels that it will take two or three months to reach Jiangnan West Road from the north of Sichuan. After two or three months, the battle situation is probably clear, right?

Shi Hao has a different view on this.

"When Wu Gong and Qi Fang are dispatched to attack, the old minister will order them to set up their camps step by step, to fight steadily, not to make surprise troops, not to drive straight in, and to slowly recover lost ground with a slow and resolute offensive, and drive out the bandit army.

In this way, not to mention a big victory, at least it will not fail, and it can gradually reduce the space for the bandit army's activities and control the development momentum of the bandit army. In this way, after more than two months, when Yao Zhong arrives, he can order Yao Zhong to command the army and obtain the victory. Final victory. "
