The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 203 The Western Army Comes, Heroes, Dragons, Snakes, Tigers and Leopards
Zhao Tun was sitting in the lobby of the government office, gently twirling the brush in his hand.

He was thinking about the war in western Anhui, and the battle reports had been flying in frequently in the past two days, and Luzhou was about to lose its hold.

He thought about Wang Qing in the west of Anhui, and also thought about the water park in Liangshan.

A few days ago, Dai Zong sent a letter saying that Liangshan beat Zhujiazhuang three times and got countless money, food and rice. In the end, he said that Liangshan's three leaders Lin Chong married Hu Sanniang, the daughter of Hujiazhuang, and Song Jiang was somewhat embarrassing.

Zhao Tun thought for a while, stopped turning the pen in his hand, gently fell into his grasp, and put it on the pen stand.

At this time, a soldier came in from outside to report that there were three people other than the government secretary, who came to report with the official documents of the Privy Council and the two ministries.

Zhao Tong was waiting for the three of them when he was sitting in the government office today. In the early morning, there was news that the generals of the Western Army that Emperor Daojun transferred earlier had entered Tokyo.

The Emperor Daojun sent a total of six people, all young generals, three in the front of the palace, and three in the guards' army. They were all going to the army and not serving in the government.

When the six of them entered Beijing, they had to come directly after going to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Privy Council to complete the handover procedures. This was the order of the Emperor Daojun.

Zhao Tang felt the urgency of the Taoist emperor, who wanted to save face and calm down the rebels, so he came up with such a move.

Not to transfer the Western Army, but only to transfer the Western General. In the past, it was regarded as a kind call.

It is a common practice that a small number of young heroes of the Western Army will be called to serve as Beijing officials, such as Orihiko Ye and Orihiko Zhi in those days.

But right now...these six people were obviously tricked into coming here, they are even officials in the capital, so let's go to the barracks to train and fight.

However, in Zhao Tun's view, at least the Emperor Daojun still has some vision in choosing the candidate for this matter.

Or to put it another way, among the young people in the Western Army at present, some are quite capable and can be called handsome, as long as those are more or less famous, there is no need to be too selective, the emperor knows himself, or Tong Guan recommends them , just pick it up.

The Emperor Daojun, not to mention the internal politics, is really rotten. In terms of military affairs, except for the big mistakes made by the sea alliance, he rarely made mistakes in the Northwest military. However, a sea alliance cannot be saved. That's all nonsense.

However, the failure of the Liao alliance with the Jinjia Liao actually had the unpredictable factor of Fang La's rebellion. Next, I went to fight Liao again. Everyone complained, and people didn't want to win.

This is also the main reason why Zhao Tun wanted to assassinate Wanyan Aguda, to delay the maritime alliance and avoid Fang La's rebellion.

As for Tong Guan, although there are other faults, such as greed for merit, power and fame, he is also unique in judging people.

Zhao Tang picked up a piece of paper on the table and said to the soldiers, "Let them in."

When the soldiers went out, Zhao Tang looked at the three names on the paper, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the first one.

He recalled the second one slightly, and a sigh appeared on his face.

As for the third one, he laughed first and then shook his head.

It is recorded that Emperor Daojun summoned the young generals of the Western Army to Beijing at this time. Later, some of these people fought to Fangla, and some participated in the battle between Song and Jin Jialiao, but he couldn't remember who they were in the Qing Dynasty. The memory of the past life is no better than this life, and I didn't know which ones until I saw the list later.

After a while, three people walked in.

The first person has a square face, handsome appearance, and a radiant look. Although he is wearing old leather armor, his figure is as tall and straight as a javelin, and his bearing is extremely extraordinary. He is about [-] years old.

The second person has a refined temperament and a handsome appearance. He looks like a scholar at first sight, with a warm and spring face, but he is comparable to Liu Suiyun, even his age is similar to Liu Suiyun.

The third one was the youngest, but tall, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, long hands and long legs, wearing a black short jacket, with a rebellious expression on his face.

The three came in and saluted together.

After seeing the ceremony, according to the rules, one has to declare his family name. The first tall and straight young man bowed and said, "My subordinate, Qin Fenglu Liu Kai, see His Royal Highness Qi Wang. Please don't blame me for being late in taking office."

Zhao Tong looked at him and said with a smile on his face, "Not too late, Liu Kai, how is Qin Fengjingyuan doing?"

Liu Kai said: "Back to the lord, Xixia was still peaceful two years ago, but after this winter, it is a little ready to move. Now both sides are preparing for war and training."

Zhao Tong nodded, he didn't know about these things, presumably there was also a reason for Emperor Daojun's reluctance to transfer the Western Army to conquer Wang Qing, he said: "How about the old general and Lingtang?"

The Liu family is also a general in the Northwest, and Liu Kai's father is the famous general Liu Zhongwu.

Liu Kai's mother is the daughter of Su Shi's eldest son, Su Mai. Speaking of which, Liu Kai is Su Dongpo's great-grandson.

Liu Zhongwu was also called by Enzhao back then, but he was a special official in the capital. Like Huang Jue, he was the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department.

Later, Liu Zhongwu successively served as the governor of Xihe, Zhihezhou, and Longyou battles. In the battles to recover Huangzhou and Xiningzhou, Liu Zhongwu led his troops to fight alone.

After attacking Xixia, Liu Zhongwu was implicated by Gao Yongnian's defeat and was almost exiled to Lingnan. However, the Emperor Daojun had a special favor for the Liu family, so he was exonerated. Weizhou.

Liu Zhongwu is the confidant of the Taoist Lord, and he is one of the few generals of the Western Army who has been called to Beijing for the second time. The second time he was called to be the commander of the Dragon Guard and the God Guard. This honor is actually great.

When he comes back again, Zhixi and Qinzhou will serve as commanders of the deputy commanders of the Infantry Division.

After the death of Xi Shuai Liu Fa, Liu Zhongwu took control of both Xi and Wei. When Zhao Tun went to Longyou, it was Liu Zhongwu who appeased Xihe Road.

This time when Liu Kai entered Beijing, the official position given by the Emperor Daojun was the commander of the Dragon God Guard and the Four Chambers.

Therefore, Zhao Tun knew that, as a confidant, Liu Kai was personally ordered by Emperor Daojun.

It was also after entering the door that Liu Kai was able to speak first, ahead of the elegant scholar.

Liu Kai hurriedly said at this time: "Thank you for your concern, my father's family is well. Before Qi came to Beijing, my father specially asked Qi to ask the prince for negligence on Xihe's behalf."

Zhao Tong smiled. When he went to Longyou, except for meeting Liu Zhongwu in Xizhou, Liu Zhongwu never saw him again, and he didn't give any presents even during the Chinese New Year.

But it's right not to meet, it's really not good to meet.

He nodded: "Sit down and talk."

Liu Kai sat down, and Zhao Tun's eyes fell on the second person. This young man who looked like a refined scholar, greeted him again and said: "The prefectural discount can be saved, and I pay my respects to the lord!"

The contemporary head of the Zhe family is Zhe Kexing. Zhe Kexing has many children. The famous son can grow up, ask for Zhe, and keep Zhe.

Zhejiake's generation can be regarded as the sixth generation in this dynasty, and it is the ninth generation if counting the generals and commanders in the previous dynasty.

Zhejia is the largest general in the Northwest. In fact, Northwest is a general concept. For example, from Longyou to Hedong, there are five military roads in the middle, which is very far away, but they are all along the border. It is also called Shaanxi Sixth Road, and it is called Northwest Sixth Road if it is counted as East Road.

The Zhe family is not only the largest general in the Northwest, but also the largest general since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The general of the Yang family in Linzhou has actually always been a subordinate of the Zhe family.

The Zhejia family is prosperous, with many members, branches and leaves, and hereditary prefectures and prefectures. This is incomparable to other generals. And how strong.

Zhe Yanzhi's Zhe family is not Zhe Kexing's lineage.

Zhe Yanzhi's father, Zhe Keshi, is Zhe Kexing's cousin. Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Kecun are of the same generation, but the age difference is several decades, but in the big family of this era , this is not rare, but very common.

There are children at the age of 16, and then at the age of 56. After several generations, there are even those who are a hundred years behind the same generation.

Zhejia Kezi generation, the most powerful is Zhe Yanzhi's father, Zhe Keshi, among the Zhejia generals of the Kezi generation, the most dazzling person, known as the "true general".

Zhe Keshi didn't rely on Zhe's family, and all his military achievements were made with Xixia. He joined the army at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and won every battle, making outstanding achievements repeatedly.

The most talked about among the people is that the Queen Mother Xiaoliang, the war madman of Xixia, and her men fled across the mountains and mountains, and even lost their shoes and had to copy the trail.

Zhe Keshi finally went to Jingyuan Road to manage and appease the emissary, but he had died for seven or eight years.

Zhao Tang looked at Zhe Kecun in front of him, and said, "Heir, what official position did you have before?"

Zhe Kecun hastily replied: "My lord, I just moved to the fourth lieutenant general of Yanyan Road on the River East Road."

Zhao Tong said: "That's Liu Yanqing's subordinate, I heard that there is a person named Han over there, called Han Powu?"

Zhe Kecun was slightly taken aback, and then said with a little shame: "I didn't expect the lord to know Han Shizhong. He is indeed a member of the army. He is used to being a rascal and unreasonable. Han Po Wu."

Zhao Tuo looked at him, you two are actually rascals enough, Zhe Kecun participated in the battle to exterminate Fang La, it has always been said that Han Shizhong captured Fang La alive, but later generations once published an inscription on which Zhe Kecun captured Fang La , but since they are the main general and his subordinates, both of them can make sense.

Zhao Tong said again: "Brother Ling has taken over as the magistrate of the prefecture?"

Zhe Kecun said: "My lord, the eldest brother passed away, and the second brother took over a few days ago."

Zhe Ke died of a serious illness, and his brother died, and Zhe Ke asked to take over Fuzhou.

Zhao Tong said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhe Kecun sat down, and Zhao Tang looked at the third person, who was the youngest, only in his early twenties.

Zhao Tun didn't smile this time, and his face was more serious.

"Yao Pingzhong in Guanzhong, pay homage to the prince!"

Yao Pingzhong was a little puzzled at the moment, seeing that the two guys in front of him were smiling like blooming flowers, why did King Qi look at himself so indifferently?Although my family background is worse than those two guys, but it doesn't seem to be much different.

The Yao family in Guanzhong, the generals for generations, have always competed with the Zhong family for victory and defeat, the disciples of the two families are eager to win, and neither is willing to submit.

Yao Pingzhong was born in the Yao family, his parents died early, and he was adopted by his cousin Yao Gu as his son.

After this year, Liu Zhongwu became an official at Xihe Road for the elderly, and the Emperor Daojun gave him a gift to lift Mingdao Palace, and Yao Gu succeeded Liu Zhongwu as the economical pacifier of Xihe Road.

"Sit down and talk!" Zhao Tian said lightly.

Yao Pingzhong wondered in his heart, with a suspicious look on his face, this king of Qi asked Liu Qi and Zhe Ke a lot, and asked him to sit down without asking anything?
Zhao Tang didn't even look at him, this Yao Pingzhong has always been rebellious, when he was a teenager, he fought against the Xixia people at Zangdihe, defeated countless enemies and won a complete victory.

At that time, Tong Guan saw that he was brave and mighty, and he valued him in his heart, so he summoned him for a dialogue, but Yao Pingzhong was arrogant, spoke harshly, and contradicted him several times, Tong Guan was very unhappy, and didn't even give him a reward at that time, but after this incident, This Yao Pingzhong became even more famous, and all the generals in Guanzhong praised him and nicknamed him "Little Taiwei".

But Tong Guan is a person who, if the matter is critical, as long as you have real skills, you will definitely use it, and you will rarely delay major events because of personal grievances.

Later, when Fangla was beaten, Yao Pingzhong was transferred by Tong Guan again, but he was only using you, and his merits and deeds would definitely overwhelm you.

This envoy has Yao Pingzhong's name, so don't think it must be Tong Guan's recommendation. Tong Guan probably expected that Deng Xunwu would be defeated, and feared that the court would have to beat Wang Qing three times, so he transferred him over regardless of previous suspicions.

As for the three people from the Western Army going to the Dianqian Division, they are all young and handsome at the moment.

Zhong Yanchong, the eldest grandson of Zhong Shidao, Liu Guangshi, the second son of Liu Yanqing, and Zhe Zhiwu, the second son of Zhe Yanzhi.

These three people will also serve in the army under the front of the palace.

At this time, Zhao Tang asked the head of the government office, Bo, to exchange the official documents of the two ministries and one government office, and then said: "The three of you go to the two government offices to get the seals, and come back tomorrow to discuss matters."

The three of them have different positions. Liu Qi has the highest official position, and at the same time he is in charge of the horse infantry.

Zhe Kecun is the commander of the Yunqi Army.

Yao Pingzhong was the commander of the Tiger Wing Army of the Infantry Army.

The three stood up and went out after seeing the ceremony. Yao Pingzhong looked back when they were in the distance, still wondering why the king of Qi didn't want to see the goose?
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Zhao Tong smiled secretly, they are all heroes, but since they are here, they must find a way to make good use of them.
