Fu Song

Chapter 260 Decision
In June, there is a lot of rain.

Otherwise, how can we say that the day of June, the face of the baby, can change as soon as it is said!

When it was dark, the weather looked pretty good. Unexpectedly, when a gust of wind came, it was immediately covered with dark clouds. With the rumbling thunder, the raindrops fell down and hit the ground, splashing flowers of mud. There was a sudden chaos when I went to work, and there were bouts of jumping and running.

The heavy rain fell for half an hour before it gradually became lighter, but it was still endless. With the wind in the rain, the weather that was already hot and dry suddenly became gloomy and cold again. .

Zhao Zhe was sitting in the study room, the window was wide open, and the wind and rain poured in like this, but he didn't notice it at all, and even felt a little hot, so he tore off the jacket he had just put on, and casually threw it aside.

The reason why he was so restless was because at this moment, there was a man kneeling at his feet crying and crying.

This guy is called Qin Min.

A hero who dared to charge the Liao people's army single-handedly.

At this moment, like a baby, crying hissingly.

In Qin Min's intermittent narration, Zhao Zhe learned about the tragic fight between Qin Min and the Liao people at Baigou Station, and more than a thousand elite frontier troops were wiped out on Baigou Station and Juma River. The soldiers and horses of Guiyi City who were going to meet them, but for some inexplicable reasons, defended the city and refused to retreat. In the end, the Liao people smashed the city in one fell swoop, and thousands of people became prisoners.

And the commanding officer Zhao Zheng and the generals above the commanding level were sent back by the Liao people after the war.And those ordinary soldiers, no matter what Da Song asked, the other party just refused to return them.

Zhao Zhe has never suffered such humiliation of losing land and people.

Even when he had just gone to Hebei, where there was still devastation, he did not bow his head to the Liao people like this.

"Get up, let's talk while sitting down!" Zhao Zhe gritted his teeth while sitting back on the chair, holding the back of the chair tightly with both hands. "Your father and the others were implicated by me."

Qin Min shook his head: "No, father and the others are not burdened by you, but Cui Zei used father and the others as scapegoats in order to cover up his incompetence, and used their heads to bear the responsibility for the defeat. But he also knew very well Well, my father and the others alone cannot bear this responsibility. Therefore, he has to drag the matter on His Highness. Get out of this humiliating defeat."

Zhao Zhe closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "He succeeded. The court did not hold him accountable. Although he left the two prefectures, the position of Yushi Zhongcheng is sometimes more useful than the seat of the two prefectures. That is A sharp knife, the official, now wants to use this knife to get rid of some people or things he doesn't like."

"Your Highness, as long as you give an order, we can make him Cui Ang not survive tomorrow." Qin Min said fiercely.

"What's the use of bravery?" Zhao Zhe shook his head: "If Cui Ang is killed, the officials can exchange another knife. What's more, how can Cui Ang be so easy to kill? Qin Min, you said that you have many When people arrive in Bianliang, how many people are there?"

"Your Highness, the statistics have just been completed this month. So far, there are a total of more than [-] people." Qin Min said: "The [-] frontier troops are elite. Since last year, we have started to contact and search for these people. , are all surviving brothers from the Xin'an Army, Guangxin Army, and Ansu Army."

Zhao Zhe's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. No matter what he thought, he never thought that the number of brothers that Qin Min said in his mouth was as many as [-] in Bianliang.

What is this concept?
This is a whole army.

"How is it possible? With so many of you, how could it be possible to sneak into Bianliang without being discovered?" Zhao Zhe asked.

"Your Highness, most of those officials are really bad." Qin Min sneered: "As long as you give money, they dare to do anything for you, not only as a guide, but even a complete set of identity certificates, they can get you Neat, as long as your money is enough."

"Where did you get the money from?"

Qin Min hesitated for a moment: "In the early days, we robbed some wealthy households and raised a lot of money, but now we don't need it anymore. Some of us have joined the Bianliang gang, and we have already controlled some industries. Money is constantly being produced, and other people have survived in Bianliang in various identities, and if money is poor, everyone pools it together, and it’s almost the same.”

"So many of you are here, what do you want?" Zhao Zhe asked in a deep voice, staring at Qin Min.

Qin Min knelt down again: "Your Highness, we came to Bianliang to avenge our grievances. Those frontier generals and soldiers, including my father, died unjustly. Not only did they die unjustly, they After death, we also bear a bad reputation. We have no other way, we can only come to His Highness, and only His Highness can give us an answer, and now we are only willing to trust His Highness alone gone."

"What can I do to help you now?" Zhao Zhe shook his head with a wry smile.

"The dragon is trapped in the shoal, but when it finally breaks out!" Qin Min said: "The tiger is trapped in the scorpion, but as long as it gets out of the cage, it will be able to roar the world. Your Highness, you are a prince, how can you sit and watch Song being beaten by these people?" People are corrupt? You are our commander-in-chief, how can you watch your subordinates suffer all kinds of injustices? As long as you give an order, we people are willing to go through fire and water for His Highness, even if we die nine times, we will not regret it."

Zhao Zhe fell silent, a long silence.

At this moment, Hong Yuan didn't make a sound.

Qin Kai didn't make a sound.

Even Qin Min shut his mouth at this moment.

"Let me think about it again, think about it again!" After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Zhe finally spoke.

The three people in the room were immediately overjoyed.

As long as Zhao Zhe didn't categorically refuse, it actually meant that he had agreed.

"Your Highness, next, I'm going to meet Tao Dayong!" Qin Kai said in a low voice, "Because the Dingwu Army is a frontier army, they were bullied and suppressed in Beijing. Tao Dayong suffered terribly. Even more furious, as long as Tao Dayong is persuaded, and then through the Dingwu Army, we can get a large amount of ordnance without anyone noticing."

Zhao Zhe suddenly stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

"Let me think, let me think again!"

The three people in the room looked at Zhao Zhe who was drifting away in the wind and rain, with smiles on their faces.

If there is no way to go, then make a way out.

For the three of them, unless King Jing takes the throne, they will only be able to live in darkness for the rest of their lives, and they will never see the light of day.

"I will continue to contact the middle- and lower-level officers of the Dingwu Army. As long as most of them fall to us, Tao Dayong will do it anyway." Qin Min said.

"I went to find Sun Guaizi and let this person follow us with all his heart. He has people under his command, he has money, and he has channels to obtain weapons, especially through them, he can get a lot of information that we don't know about." Hong Yuan said.

"I will reconnect those people, things, and things that were disconnected in the past. We need money, a lot of money!" Qin Kai took a deep breath.

Gradually, the rain picked up again, hitting the roof and leaves with a clattering sound.

The sound of thunder was deafening, and the timid ones had already retreated into the house and closed the doors and windows tightly.

Dashes of lightning tore apart the sky, ushering in a brief light in the dark night.

Zhao Zhe stood in the yard, letting the rain wash his body.

The information contained in the suggestions of Qin Min, Hong Yuan and others couldn't be more obvious.

To sum it up, there are only two words, rebellion.

[-] frontier troops, or perhaps [-] frontier troops, if the Dingwu army also joined.

No one knows better than Zhao Zhe what five thousand frontier troops mean in Bianliang.

The fighting power of the frontier army is far from that of the Fourth Army.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Fourth Army was of course the most capable and powerful, so they were able to station in the capital and defend the emperor.This itself is also one of the strategies of the Song court to strengthen the strong and weak branches.

But after so many years, these troops inevitably fell and corrupted in the colorful world of the capital.

When I promoted the rotation of the frontier country and the upper fourth army, I really didn't have any personal thoughts in my heart.I just thought, if the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Fourth Army can reach the combat effectiveness of the frontier army, then the Great Song's conquest of the Liao Dynasty can really be put on the agenda.

Because Zhao Zhe, who has been in Hebei for many years, has his eyes on the current Liao Kingdom, just like the Song Dynasty, he is sick, and it is not serious.

In the contest between two sick men, whoever cures his illness first can kill the other who is still not well.

But I never thought that it was this suggestion that made the officials and my father suspicious of me.

Successive victories against Liao on Hebei Road,
North Korean and Chinese officials highly praise themselves
The common people's love for themselves,

These have all become their own original sins.

However, the army's round-of-war strategy promoted by himself turned out to be malicious and intended to seek rebellion.

Cui Ang is just a clown ear.

The one who really wanted to move him was his father.

Perhaps it was Xiao Ding's feat of picking one hundred out of ten back then, which frightened his father.

The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't have any bad intentions!
I just want this behemoth, Da Song, to heal his illness sooner and regain his energy sooner, instead of muddling along like he is now.

Speaking of it, the foundation of the Liao Kingdom is stronger than that of the Song Dynasty!They are not as rich as the Song Dynasty, so their martial spirit has not been completely discarded. If the Liao Kingdom is replaced by a heroic and capable guy as emperor, such as Yelujun, then the Song Dynasty will really be in danger.

The official family is only in his early fifties now, and he is energetic and energetic.

Zhao Zhe clenched his fist tightly and howled to the sky!
The five thousand frontier army, if he really launched it, with the fighting power of the five thousand frontier army, it is not without hope of success.

Moreover, it is not that he has no powerful allies in the court.

Hebei Road appeasement envoy Ma Xing supported him!

Needless to say, Xiao Ding, the general manager of the Northwest March.

Xiao Yu, the envoy of the third division, can be regarded as his direct descendant.

As for the officials in the two mansions, as long as they get that position, they will only bow their heads and stick to their ears.

After all, this is a family affair of the Zhao family.

Xia Jie, outmoded them, are they really satisfied with their father?
Listen again, look again, wait a little longer, maybe the father was just confused for a while, the eldest brother is a person with limited talents, more than successful, but not aggressive enough, if he is allowed to take the position, he may not be able to use many things against Yelujun. Outside Bianliang City, you can see the sentry cavalry of the Liao Kingdom.

It was the father's mentality of worrying about gains and losses, how could he lead the Song Dynasty to defeat the Liao Kingdom and dominate the world!

As long as he can be ranked in the East Palace, he will be able to establish his own official system in a straightforward manner, influence the great political strategy of the Song Dynasty, and push the Song Dynasty to take the correct path step by step.

The rain on the head suddenly disappeared, and an oil-paper umbrella appeared above Zhao Zhe's head. He turned his head and saw the concerned expression of the princess.

"I'm fine, I just made some decisions." Zhao Zhe reached for the umbrella and said in a low voice.

"No matter what decision you make, my lord, our family will always stand with you!" Lu Lin took Zhao Zhe's arm.

"If you have time, go back to your mother's house more often!" Zhao Zhe said.

Outside Linhuang Mansion, on the vast expanse of grassland, hundreds of knights shouted and galloped to and fro. Countless rabbits, roe deer, and pheasants were driven around. Immediately, the knights bent their bows and set arrows to shoot down the prey one by one. .The horse galloped past, and the knight bent over, picked up the shot prey, held it high, and swayed it, showing off his achievements.

Yelujun shot down an extremely cunning hare with one arrow. This rabbit never ran more than five steps in a straight line. No, Yelujun is not interested in attacking a rabbit yet.

What he really wanted to shoot down were tigers, leopards, jackals, and blind bears, but these big objects were only found in the royal hunting grounds, and Yelujun would not go hunting the emperor's prey without the emperor's permission.

With the sound of hoofbeats, a rider came from afar.

"Junwang, Junwang, you have won, you have won!" The knight waved his hands and shouted loudly to Yelujun: "The sixth place in the second class, the sixth place in the second class!"

Yelujun participated in the just-concluded Liao State Spring Examination!The sixth place in the second class, that is, the sixth place in the entire Jinshi examination, this result is already quite remarkable.The Liao State Jinshi Examination was no easier than the Song State Jinshi Examination.

A satisfied smile appeared on Yelujun's face. Although he was inferior to senior brother Lin Ping, his senior brother was Han and he was from Liao. He was already the first among Liao people, and the emperor would be very happy if he wanted to come. very.

The emperor has always been worried because Liao people don't like reading!

And his winning this time will definitely make the emperor's eyes shine.

He has already made military achievements, and he has captured a large area of ​​territory from the Song people. This is an unprecedented achievement in decades.

Wenzhi himself was the first person in the royal family to pass the Jinshi examination with real ability.

Yunwen Yunwu, both civil and military!
Just ask, who else can compete with me for that position?
