Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 751 The important task of the General Staff Council: Deducing the attack on Liao...

Tong Guan stood aside, silently and low-key, allowing Gao Zhang to talk in his home court.

From time to time, he nodded to show his agreement with Gao Zhang's statement, and praised Gao Zhang's foresight without any trace.

On the side, those famous generals of the Song Dynasty who had seen the ugly face of this powerful eunuch of the Song Dynasty had sly expressions on their faces, and they secretly made eye contact.

This was not the first time they saw Tong Guan facing Gao Zhang like this, but it still made them feel deeply uncomfortable.

After all, this envoy of the General Staff Council held a high position of authority, and when he commanded the border troops in the northwest, he acted extremely domineering.

Any general who dares to disobey his will will be demoted or dismissed.

In the General Staff Council, although his behavior and temper were somewhat restrained compared to his behavior in the Northwest Frontier Army, it was not much better.

However, in the face of Gao Zhang, who is now affectionately called "Little Gao Xianggong" by the people of Bianliang, Tokyo, Tong Guan's humbleness is really uncomfortable.

Of course Gao Zhang knew that what this eunuch Quan feared was not himself, but his master's favor for him.

Don't watch Tong Guan grovel to him, Gao Zhang will still be very energetic and deal with this beast carefully.

Because no one knew whether Tong Guan, a Quan Huan who was notorious in history and had a bad reputation among the army of the Song Dynasty, but also had the trust of his master, would want to do something behind his back.

Tong Guan knew very well in his heart that if Gao Zhang had not accomplished the task of destroying the country, he might still be able to show his seniority in front of Gao Zhang.

However, as Gao Zhang led his army to win consecutive victories in Xixia.Whenever they receive good news, the officials will immediately let themselves into the palace.

In front of the specially built sand table in the palace, I allowed myself to explain and demonstrate in the palace how this young top scholar achieved great victories one after another.

The words were full of praise and love for Gao Zhang, which made Tong Guan feel sour in his heart.

He was also very unhappy in his heart. After all, he had been in the army since the Zhezong period, and it had been thirty years. He could proudly pat his chest and say that he was the most knowledgeable official in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, he has achieved many impressive results, and he believes that if he leads the team, it will definitely not be too bad.

But as the war progressed and good news came one after another, Tong Guan's self-confidence and pride suffered heavy blows again and again.

Even every time he performs military exercises for the officials, he will feel even more disappointed, compared with this official's beloved disciple.

My achievements in the military career of the past 30 years are really far behind the other party. The difference is more than a star or a half.

In addition, the officials also liked to proudly show off the many abilities of their beloved disciple Gao Zhang to themselves.

Only then did Tong Guan, who was already in his sixties, realize that it seemed that ever since Gao Zhang put down the Zhu family rebellion in Jiangnan, the officials had never approved his request to lead the army out of the capital.

Whether he asked for orders to go to the northwest to attack Xixia, or he asked for orders to sit in Hebei when the fierce battle between the Song Dynasty and Xixia was in full swing.

They were all blocked by the officials on the grounds that they were indispensable in the DPRK to preside over the General Staff Council.

And the Shaanxi Road strategy appeases Zheng Juzhong, the disgusting salted fish, and all kinds of sneaky tricks after arriving at Shaanxi Road.

Not only did he not offend the officials, but he was praised by the officials for being knowledgeable and knowledgeable. After his teacher returned to the court, he was continuously rewarded.Now it seems that it is clearly a premeditated move by the officials. He does not want anyone to compete with his beloved disciple Gao Zhang for merit and fame.

After Pingxia returned to the court, Zheng Juzhong was still the Privy Council envoy, and the child in front of him, who was less than 20 years old, had become the second-in-command of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Juzhong, the old salted fish, simply ignored the affairs. Now Gao Zhang is in charge of all affairs of the Privy Council.

Tong Guan was disheartened to understand that the moment Gao Zhang showed his talents in both civil and military affairs, he was no longer the official's favorite military commander.

Fortunately, although Tong Guan was depressed for a while, he still understood that he was still somewhat useful to the official family.

So he began to correct his mentality, work hard to adjust his position, and do his own things well so that the officials would not have any objections to him, let alone the champion who had already shown the momentum of a powerful minister to grab his pigtails.

Even if he has no chance to go further, his step-son Tong Zhisheng and Gao Zhang are sworn friends, and Gao Zhang has a good nature towards others.

As long as he and his son don't go out on business and don't provoke him, they should be able to enjoy the happiness of their family.

Gao Zhang carefully asked these famous Song generals about their judgment on the success or failure of the Liao Emperor Yujia's personal expedition.

Knowing that after analyzing a large amount of intelligence from the Liao Kingdom, everyone came to the conclusion that they were not optimistic about the incompetent emperor of the Liao Kingdom.

This made Gao Zhang breathe a sigh of relief. The Song Dynasty now had a very clear understanding of the situation in the Liao Kingdom. This was naturally due to the effectiveness of long-term and in-depth intelligence work.

The result was the infiltration of a large number of well-trained and capable detectives from the Imperial City Department, as well as Fan Lou and other Song Dynasty business groups into the Liao Kingdom.

"I am here today to tell you that the officials have decided to transfer the armies that have been transferred to the northwest during Shizong's reign. In addition to leaving the necessary troops, the rest will be transferred back to Bianliang to defend Tokyo. .

Furthermore, I just hope that the generals will try to deduce it.

After the Song Dynasty captured Jinzhou, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, how could we stop the female straight women or the Liao soldiers from advancing southward..."

As soon as these words came out, Tong Guan and others' eyes lit up, as if they had smelled the smoke and blood in the air.

As for Tokyo and Bianliang during the Song Dynasty, the originally empty barracks gradually increased over the years and already numbered [-] to [-]. If another [-] able soldiers were deployed in Tokyo.

If something happens to Hebei in the future, the Song Dynasty will be able to respond in time, just like another historical time and space.

It was not just because Tokyo was undefeated and most of the main forces of the Song Dynasty were stationed in the northwest border, that the Jin Kingdom was allowed to penetrate directly into the hinterland, causing the disgrace of Jingkang.

"Master Zhuangyuan, we think that even if we, the Song Dynasty, have captured the front line of Jinzhou, the sixteen states of Yanyun are not under the control of our Song Dynasty. Then, regardless of whether they are Liao people or straight women, they can still go south calmly."

"Most of the people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are Han people. If they are captured by force, they will be forced to the Liao Kingdom."

"So, the Imperial City Division has been using other means to secretly contact the righteous people in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. In addition, if the war in Liao is unfavorable and there is no way out, I may have a chance for the Song Dynasty to take over without a fight..."

After leaving the General Staff House, Gao Zhang wandered towards the palace. The road was still smooth, but he could not walk more than a hundred steps into the palace.

Then he saw Zhao Huan, the eldest son of the emperor, walking quickly from a distance. He was coming towards him with a face full of joy, but the hidden worry between his eyebrows overtook his face.
