Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 390 Turning Moment 9
The faces of all the generals were disgraceful, but what Wang Xiu said was reasonable. It was a great shame for the soldiers to be driven in by foreign enemies, especially the generals of Hedong and Hebei, who were even more ashamed!It was a thousand miles away, and even the fig leaf was lost.

"Yanshan, Taiyuan, Zhending, all the way to the capital, retreating again and again, where do you want to retreat, Jiangnan or Shaanxi?" Wang Xiu stared at the generals, and continued to speak loudly: "This is a shame, this is a shame. The great shame of my courtiers is the shame of the warriors of the world, where else can I retreat? The Great Song Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles, but there is no way to retreat. Behind is Kaifeng City, and if you retreat, you will be in danger of subjugation."

"Zhe Yanzhi was as fearful of the enemy as a tiger, and dispatched the princes to guard the stronghold, but he was preparing to escape back to the capital. I persuaded you repeatedly, but he didn't realize it. For the lives of more than [-] generals and their families, he had no choice but to kill Zhe Yanzhi."

There was an uncharacteristic silence in the tent. Except for Wang De, Zhang Changning and Qin Liang, none of the generals thought that Wang Xiu would kill Zhe Yanzhi. Even those generals who saw the difference in the situation thought Wang Xiu was imprisoning Zhe Yanzhi But he didn't expect to kill someone, it would be like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the generals would be stunned.

After a long time, Ge Hao, the No. 20 general on Hedong Road, came to his senses first, held the hilt of his sword, stared at Wang Xiu with wide eyes, and said sharply: "Zhe Taiwei is the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, a dignified minister of the court, how can you It was the servant system who killed him as he said, and the final general does not know what the servant system intends to do?"

Ge Hao was the first to attack, and he said "what do you want to do", pointing at Wang Xiu's ulterior motives and suspicion of treason, all the generals in the tent were panicked, nervous, and behaved at a loss.Everyone can go to the battlefield to fight, no matter whether they win or lose, they have always killed people, but it is related to the internal disputes of the imperial court. It is really unacceptable to hear that the servants killed Chengxuan envoy suddenly.

"That's right, what Ge Taiwei said is true." Miao Song, the No. 19 general on the Hedong Road, was also annoyed, and said sharply: "The servant system is set up by the Northwest Beijing Road, and he killed the imperial court's Xuanfu envoy without permission. For a reason, don’t blame the general for being rude.”

Miao Song's No.19 will be the powerful army of Hedong, which is also the direct line of the Hedong Zhe clan. It has nearly [-] soldiers under its jurisdiction, and its combat power is extremely strong. The strong team, who is also a family friend of the Zhe Miao family, and Zhe Yanzhi was killed, how could he not be angry.

Facing Ge Hao and Miao Song's blatant attack, the generals who were already in shock became even more panicked, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Some generals looked left and right, and some generals looked angry. The situation took a turn for the worse, which was extremely unfavorable to Wang Xiu. If Ge Hao and Miao Song took the lead in rebelling, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops outside, there were dozens of generals here. Nor is it easy to deal with.

At this time, Zhang Changning's face was cloudy and cloudy, and Qin Liang's face was ugly. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would end up with the eternal infamy and be executed by his family. Only Wang De left and looked, with a humorous face, Looks like he deserves a beating.

Wang Xiu wished he could kill Ge Hao and Miao Song immediately, but his rationality told him that he couldn't do that. Unlike killing Du Hansheng, there were all the generals in command of Hebei and Hedong in front of him, and they didn't have much friendship with him, let alone The upper and lower subordination relationships, once seeing blood, how can the generals not be in danger, and it is easy to provoke a mutiny.Even if the situation is suppressed for a while, it is hard to guarantee that the people will not be convinced, and it will cause trouble in the future, and a small unbearable will lead to chaos and big schemes!
At this point in the matter, he is already walking on a single tree in the deep ravine, and there is no way to retreat!There is only one way to go straight forward.Forbearance is just a strategy. When it's time to kill, he will never be stingy with thunder.

Ge Hao took the opportunity to shout loudly: "Yes, Wang Xiu acted recklessly and killed the Xuanfu envoy with the intention of rebelling..."

"It's rare to fight a few times in life!" Wang Xiu didn't listen to Ge Hao's farting. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he remembered this sentence.His face continued to stretch, the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes flashed a scornful light, and he said lightly: "The reason, dare I ask you, General He Lu?"

"Hedong." Miao Song said without thinking, and suddenly felt that Wang Xiu's question was a trick, and said sharply: "This is none of your business."

"It's not a **** thing?" Wang Xiu sneered twice, glanced at Miao Song coldly, and said sharply: "This is the Northwest Road of Jingbei. As a general of Hedong, why did you come to Jingxi? You should be in Hedong It’s right to fight bloody battles with the captives, isn’t it?”

"Don't digress about the servant system." Ge Hao's face was angry, he really didn't dare to answer, no matter how you say it is Mengzhou in the west of Beijing, he said sharply: "You are a scholar, and I am not as good as a warrior, so don't ask for it. Talk about it."

Wang De raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Xiu provocatively, as if he was watching a good show, waiting for Wang Xiu to say something.

"Okay, Taiwei Ge, don't be in a hurry, you have something to say." Wang Xiu curled her lips and said with a slight smile: Zheyan's quality is true for Xuanfu, but he is the Deputy Xuanfu envoy of Hedong and Hebei Roads, and this is Beijing Northwest Road , I am ordered by the emperor to set up an envoy, he is the guest army, all dispatches on the Northwest Beijing Road, when the holy will is not achieved, the guest army must obey the dispatch of the road commander. "

"I thought that when you first arrived, you treated each other with courtesy. I persuaded Zheyan several times not to stick to it. You should send troops to stay on duty on the river in turn to fight on the river, so that you can restrain the captives from drinking the river. It's a pity that he not only refused to listen, but instead acted as a general in the west of Beijing. Constantly mobilizing, wanting to kill people to establish prestige, in order to promote the system, suppress the military law, and save the lives of more than [-] troops, it is a last resort. Tomorrow, I will write a letter to the emperor, right and wrong should be decided, how can you judge?"

He was a bit unreasonable, and a basin of feces and urine stuck on Orihiko's head, but he had to say that there was some truth to it. At least it was a fact that Orihiko and Nianhan's correspondence did not require all armies to fight, and there was no way to avoid it.

The most important point is that the nonsensical military system of the Great Song Dynasty caused a beautiful misunderstanding. Zhe Yanzhi Xuanfu Deputy Envoy is true, but he is the Deputy Xuanfu Envoy of Hebei and Hedong. He used the west of Beijing as a base to attack Hedong. The final decision, but the power does not lie in the west of Beijing, and it happens to be in the territory of the west of Beijing. What's more, Nianhan attacked the Northwest Road of Beijing.

Wang Xiu happened to be the commander-in-chief of the west of Beijing, and he had the right to command and dispatch the troops stationed in the territory.For the lives of more than [-] people, it is indeed tempting.Does Wang Xiu have the right to kill Zhe Yanzhi?This question arose in the hearts of all the generals.

"Nonsense, Xuanfu is a minister of the imperial court, and he is above you. How dare you openly kill him. This is contempt for the emperor." Seeing some people hesitate, Ge Hao couldn't help panicking, and directly pulled the tiger's skin to make a big deal flag.

"Contempt for the Son of Heaven, thank you for thinking it out." Wang Xiu sneered coldly, and said in a deep voice, "You can be regarded as a general, don't you understand that the enemy army is about to cross the river, and the commander of the guest army asked you to stay in the camp and watch the captives die?" People cross the river and line up without any resistance. Do you really want to wash your neck and wait for someone to kill you? As the leader of Jingxi Road, I naturally have the duty of guarding the soil. Anyone who refuses to enter the battle will be killed without mercy."

These words hit the nail on the head, and everyone talked softly.yes!Building a stronghold for self-defense is equivalent to giving up control of the river. Once the Jin army crosses the river, they are all vulnerable. Can you run past the cavalry?

Not only Ge Hao but also Miao Song's face changed drastically, Wang Xiu's words were too poisonous, they were speechless, and made the generals suspect that Orehiko had a different heart.

Seeing that it was not good, Miao Song hurriedly said: "You are talking nonsense, we will build a stronghold to defend ourselves, so what if the captives cross the river?"

Wang Xiu glanced at Miao Song like an idiot, and said with a sneer, "The two armies are facing each other across the river. The bombing of the villages will cause panic in all the villages, and eventually the whole army will be defeated. If I make a decision immediately, don’t talk about your lords, I am afraid that I will be killed by the army! Zhengjiang doesn’t even have this common sense, no wonder He was looked down upon by the Western Army."

The faces of the people were uncertain, but some people were indeed persuaded. The situation seemed to be going in a good direction, at least there was a reason for him to kill Orihiko.These generals also have part of the Western Army. Since it is hopeless to win over the Hedong generals, they simply win over the Western Army generals and completely abandon the Hedong Forbidden Army.

Ge Hao smiled disdainfully, and said bitterly: "According to Shi Zhi, beheading the court Xuanfu envoy is like slaughtering dog ears, and it is a last resort. Then one day, someone will take the opportunity to kill Shi Zhi, or It's okay for the servants to kill us at will."

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the expressions of the generals changed drastically. They all booed and were shocked.yes!Wang Xiu was able to kill Zhe Yanzhi today, but wouldn't he be able to kill them tomorrow?What's exciting is that someone took the opportunity to kill Shi Zhi, right!Since Wang Xiu can find a reason to kill Shangguan, why can't they?
Wang De's expression was stern, his eyes flickered, no one knew what he was thinking, nor what he was going to do in the next moment.

Zhang Changning's face was pale, his heart trembled uncontrollably, he didn't know what to do, he was the general of the west of Beijing, and he was involved in Wang Xiu's plan, he didn't know how to get out of the relationship, if all the generals swarmed him, he would really be doomed.

Qin Liang's complexion was much better. He looked at Wang Xiu calmly, his eyes full of confidence. Since he was in the team, he would stick to it.

"Today, if the paternity system does not give a reason, we will never stop."

"Yes, if you can kill Xuanfu today, you can kill us tomorrow."

"Our Hedong army suffered such humiliation when we were silent."

"What are you waiting for, let's go together and take down this person."

Several Hedong generals made a fuss, Feng Yuan and Xu Zhong also realized that the situation was not right, Ge Hao's words were too poisonous, directly instigating the relationship between Wang Xiu and the general, not only made them feel insecure, but also made people have a reason to kill Wang Xiu Xiu's thoughts, he couldn't help tensing his nerves, gripping the handle of the knife, ready to deal with possible riots at any time.

However, if there is too much movement to call the guards to come in, I am afraid that the officials outside will be alarmed. It is true that Orihiko is dead, but the Xuansi guards are still there.People have a chance to come back at any time, and there must be no trouble unless it is a last resort.
