The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 486 Wind of the King ([-])
After Zhao Gou gave the order, he returned to the camp with Zhao Yougong, and waited for everyone to sit down.Zhao Gou's gaze stayed on Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi. According to historical records, both of them and Yue Fei were famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Second brother, how many generals are under your command now?" Zhao Gou asked directly.

Zhao Yougong replied: "Only slap!"

Then, Zhao Yougong reported the names of those generals one by one, including Zong Ze, Liu Guangshi, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Shuye.As for Liu Qi and Zhang Shuye, they went to inquire about the news, but they haven't returned yet, so we didn't see them.

However, Zhao Gou ordered them to withdraw and wait for the arrival of the army before making plans.

"Zong Shuai, with you in charge, why can't the military order be carried out?" Zhao Gouzhi asked.

Zong Ze smiled wryly: "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, the rank of last general is not the highest in the army, nor is his qualifications the oldest!"

Zhao Gou looked at Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi again, and instead of asking for responsibility, he smiled slightly and said, "What are the two generals' positions now?"

Han Shizhong replied: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the last general is now the defense envoy of Fengzhou, from the fifth rank!"

Liu Guangshi replied: "Back to the commander-in-chief, the last general is now the observation envoy of Yaozhou, under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of Yanyan Road, and is the fifth rank!"

"This commander asks you two, if you give an army to you, and you two lead it separately, can you break Feihu County?"

Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi replied in unison: "Yes!"

Zhao Gou Zheng said: "As the commander of an army, he should take responsibility. If you can't break through Feihu County, what consequences do you know?"

"I know!" The two said in unison, "I am willing to issue a military order! If Feihu County cannot be breached, I am willing to come and see you!"

Han Shizhong was born in an ordinary peasant family and practiced martial arts since childhood, so he was tall and burly.He joined the army at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Now, more than ten years have passed, and he has entered his thirties. He has made great military exploits but has not been taken seriously, and his official position has not been promoted.

Liu Guangshi, who was born in the same year as him, was already at the fifth rank.Although Liu Guangshi's ability is not bad, but because he was born in a family of generals, he was promoted quickly.Coincidentally, Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong were also soldiers in the same team. Later, because Liu Guangshi's father took him away, he followed him, and made a lot of military exploits afterwards.

Therefore, both Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong wanted to find an opportunity to become the sole general and command the army, especially Han Shizhong was more eager for such an opportunity.Because they all want a chance to prove themselves, now is the best time.

"Okay, I will give you this chance!" Zhao Gou replied affirmatively, which made them both burst into joy.

Zong Ze was also very excited, he knew the abilities of Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi deeply.It's just that he doesn't have the right to speak, and now he is finally appreciated. He believes that in the near future, the names of Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi will surely be heard throughout the Song Dynasty, and even Liao and Jin are terrified.

After a while, those generals who did not go to greet them were also brought by Gao Chong, Yue Fei and others.

"The generals are really in a good spirit!" Zhao Gou smiled coldly, "I just don't know what you are doing in your respective tents? Why don't you tell me and let me hear it too!"

Everyone disdain to obey Zhao Yougong's order, but when Zhao Gou came, they dared not show any disdain.Because Zhao Gou's achievements were beyond their reach, so they could only listen obediently.

Zhao Gou looked at Mr. Zhong and said, "Mr. Zhong, you are the oldest general in the army, so why don't you go out to greet him? What's the matter?"

Zhong Shidao was speechless, and replied falteringly: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the final general is not feeling well, and it is difficult to get out of bed!"

"Oh!" Zhao Gou turned to look at Gao Chong, and reprimanded: "Since Zhong Lao is not feeling well, why did you invite him here! It is better not to send him back now so that he can recuperate!"

Gao Chong was taken aback, "No!"

"Almost forgot, Mr. Zhong is not feeling well. He is a bit old and his health is not as good as before. It must not be good to stay in the army. Why don't you send someone to send him back to the capital so that he can be taken care of. As for the emperor's side , when the time comes, let me say it!"

When Zhong Shidao heard this, he was shocked. He didn't expect Zhao Gou to be so ruthless, and kicked him out of his barracks without mercy.In fact, he was not willing to obey the orders of a brat like Zhao Yougong, and he was very old in the army, so he boasted that no one dared to say anything, but he met Zhao Gou, a marshal who was not willing to accept his will.

"Marshal, I can rest for a while, and I don't have to go back to Beijing!" Zhong Shidao said hastily.

Zhao Gou shook his head resolutely: "When Mr. Zhong came to Feihukou, he felt unwell. If it takes a day or two, it's fine. It's been two months now, and he still hasn't improved. If he continues like this, it will be bad for his health! For the sake of the old body, it is better to send it back to Beijing!"

Zhao Gou didn't give him a chance to continue talking, and directly ordered Gao Chong to invite him out, and then really ordered the soldiers to escort Zhong Shidao back to Beijing.Moreover, Zhao Gou also asked the younger brother of Zhong Shidao to go back together, without any room for negotiation.

Zhao Gou is very clear about the idea of ​​being a teacher.He originally opposed the alliance with Jin, saying that he was sick and unwilling to fight, these were just his excuses.It's not good if you stay in the army.If it weren't for the fact that Zhongshi Dao had contributed to Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou directly pulled him out of the military law and dealt with it.

"General Liu, why can't you come up with a reason?" Zhao Gou looked at Liu Zhengyan again. He faltered for a long time, but he couldn't find any excuses. He said to himself: "Since you don't have any reason, don't pay the bill, and don't obey the commander's order, I think it's better to pull it out and kill it!"

Immediately, Liu Zhengyan was so scared that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Marshal, the last general knows his mistake, please forgive me, Marshal!"

Zhao Gou reprimanded angrily: "Your father Liu Fa is an indomitable general. Even if he was captured by Xixia, he would rather die than surrender, but you didn't learn his bravery. Instead, you learned some tricks of a young man. It really embarrasses your father. .”

"Marshal! Marshal!..." Liu Zhengyan knelt down and begged for mercy with a mournful face. He really didn't expect Zhao Gou to be too fast.

"Come on, take him down!" Zhao Gou ignored his pleading, resolutely ordered, looked at Zhang Jun again, and said in a deep voice, "General Zhang, why are you willing?"

"The last general dare not agree with the deployment of the deputy commander, so he will not come out!" Zhang Jun replied truthfully.

Zhao Gou scolded angrily: "I don't agree? Have you forgotten, who is the marshal here? If the deputy marshal is not deployed properly, you can make a suggestion. May I ask if you have mentioned it? As a general of the army, you actually obstructed it. And unwilling to obey the command of the commander, but also led the soldiers under his command, he deserves to be punished!"

Zhang Jun said loudly: "If the commander-in-chief really kills the last general, the last general will not accept it!"

Zhao Gou replied arrogantly: "You have to obey if you refuse to obey. Today I am the commander. Anyone who dares to block the progress of the march will be punished. Since you do not want to obey the commander's order, then take it with you. As for the military power in your hands , I will tell my father, now hand over your soldier talisman!"

Zhang Jun handed over the military talisman unwillingly, and Zhao Gou continued: "General Liu, now you are in charge of this army. If something like this happens again, you will have the same result as him!"

Liu Guangshi said respectfully: "No!"

"Master Zhang, you are so kind!" After Zhao Gou dealt with Zhang Jun, he looked at Zhang Bangchang again, and asked, "As the Taizai and servant of the sect, you occupy a high position and go out with the army. Not only secretly Falsely reporting the crimes of other generals to the emperor, and instigating among them, so that the morale of the army is unstable."

Zhang Bangchang's heart tightened, these things were indeed provoked by him, and he also secretly participated in the performance to the emperor.However, these things, he asked himself, it was impossible for outsiders to know.Now that Zhao Gou said it bluntly, he was a little flustered.

"The commander-in-chief is slandering me. I don't have any real evidence, so I just want to label me. If something is created out of nothing, I can only tell the emperor everything!" Structure confrontation.

"It would be great if you could maintain your courage on the battlefield!" Zhao Gou sneered, "If you want evidence, then I will give you evidence!"

When Zhao Gou threw all the memorials he secretly participated in in front of him, he realized that nothing he had done escaped Zhao Gou's eyes.

Suddenly, Zhang Bangchang also panicked!
"Such a scum, it's useless to keep it, pull it out and cut it!" Zhao Gou originally thought that Zhang Bangchang was just cowardly and incompetent, but he didn't expect that he was very capable, but he would target those loyal generals and sow dissension from them. , and was really fooled by him, all of this has nothing to do with him.

"Even if you are the commander-in-chief of the first army, you have no right to kill me!" Seeing that Zhao Gou wanted to kill himself, Zhang Bangchang didn't care about other things, and directly replied loudly, "I am the Taizai and servant , even if you are guilty, you have to go through the Ministry of Punishment and then report to the emperor. Although His Highness is the Generalissimo of Ping Liao, he is only involved in military affairs, but has no right to intervene in government affairs!"

"If this commander wants to kill you, he can kill you!" Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Bangchang aggressively, and said firmly, "Come here, drag him out and chop you up!"

Zong Ze also wished that villains like Zhang Bangchang would be executed immediately, but Zhao Gou was still a little worried about doing so, so he said: "Commander, beheading generals before the battle will affect morale!"

"Zong Shuai's intentions, I understand!" Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Bangchang as if nothing had happened, and replied calmly: "It is harmful and not beneficial for such a villain to stay, it is better to die early and be reborn early! Anyone who dares to intercede again will be punished with the same crime. Take it out and chop it up!"

Zhang Bangchang was pulled out, he was really chopped, and everyone woke up from their daze, and all stared at Zhao Gou with wide-eyed eyes.At this moment, they didn't dare to violate any more, and Zhao Yougong just stood aside and watched the show as if he knew the result.

This time, Zhao Gou's vigorous and resolute actions were seen and remembered by everyone.Moreover, they also witnessed Zhao Gou's other side with their own eyes. They were decisive and never scrupled about anything.Everyone also knew one thing, anyone who dares to stop Zhao Gou from regaining the heart of Yanyun Sixteen States, regardless of his official position, as long as he is angry, he will be killed.
