The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 77: I, Zhao Gou, will be replaced if I am fake [please read]

In Xiangzhou City, Wuyi doctor Liu Hao has not been having a good time recently.

A few days ago, because Wanyan Zongwang besieged Kaifeng City, I also received the Qinwang Order issued by Emperor Daojun before he ascended to the throne. I responded to the court order and recruited righteous men in Xiangzhou City to form a team. I thought that there would be almost as many people as possible. With 1000 people, they went south to Qinwang.

After finally recruiting a thousand martyrs, Kaifeng unexpectedly came to a rescue.

This made Liu Hao very depressed. There was no chance of making great achievements, but these were still small things. It was difficult to recruit these 1000 people, and it was even harder to disband them on the spot.

Although the battle was not won, the salary still had to be paid.

I went to see Uncle Wang, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, and Uncle Wang said, "Oh, this is a difficult matter. You have to report it to the court and see how the court solves it. You can't let me pay for it, right?"

Liu Hao was speechless and could only continue to impress these more than 1000 people: "Although Wanyan Zongwang has withdrawn his troops, they will come again in the near future. By then, the imperial court will definitely double their pay."

Most of this group of people actually believed him, otherwise they would say he was a righteous man.

As for the few people who didn't want to eat the cake, they clamored to take their pay and leave. Liu Hao had no choice but to pay out of his own pocket.

This made Liu Hao very depressed.

On this day, the soldiers came to report: "Doctor Liu, there are a few people outside, saying they are from the Mighty Army and want to see you for something."

Liu Hao murmured in his heart, the war is over, the mighty army is the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, why did they come to Xiangzhou: "Let them wait in the camp."

The soldiers took orders and left.

Liu Hao adjusted his military uniform and then got up to see him.

When they saw the mighty army coming, they were led by a young man with fair face and beardless face, moderate build, not old, who looked a little frail. This man only glanced at him when he entered the account, and did not meet him politely. Liu Hao felt a little uncomfortable. Who should we give it to?

"What do you all from the Mighty Army come to Xiangzhou for?" Liu Hao asked coldly with a straight face without even saluting.

"Ha... looking for someone!" the young man replied with a smile.

"Looking for someone? Shouldn't we go to the Xiangzhou government office?"

"Doctor Liu recommended people to the Ministry of War, but asked the general to go to the government office to inquire? Don't you think it's strange?"

When Liu Hao heard that this young man claimed to be a general, and he probably had an official position in the Forbidden Army, he restrained his displeasure and said with a smile: "The matter of recommending people is a document issued by the Ministry of War to seek talents for the country. I I have just recommended a group of people, and the characters among them are not very familiar."

When the young man heard this, his face darkened: "Is this how you deal with court errands? When you are asked to recruit talents for the country, you just write down a few names and apply?"

Liu Hao was asked a little and wanted to laugh. Isn't this how the people below have dealt with official documents from the court in recent years?Where did the child who doesn’t live in the world come from, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here: “May I ask the general what his position is?”

"This general is the Golden Spear General who is personally proclaimed by the officials!"

In the past, it would have been an incredible honor to be granted a personal title by an official, but recently, every soldier at the head of Kaifeng City would say: "I was given the official clothes personally by the official, royal robe!"

Therefore, it is not surprising that those who have made some achievements in the siege of the Jin army may be personally sealed by the officials.

As for the golden gun...

"You're using a gun?" Liu Hao looked up and down. With his skin and tender flesh, he didn't look like someone wielding a gun on horseback.Zhao Gou blushed and was about to speak when several people walked in outside the tent: "Doctor Liu, I heard that you gave some money to the brothers a few days ago?"

These people are not wearing military uniforms, but they are dressed in street clothes, but they can go straight into the big tent. Although most of Xiangzhou is from the Xiang army, they are still the military camp of the imperial court. Why are they so careless?Zhao Gou suddenly felt strange and stood aside without saying anything.

Liu Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed and said: "Oh, those few people have filial obligations in their families and cannot stay in the army for a long time. So I scattered some money to let them leave first. As for the others, we still have to leave." It won’t be too late to get it when the royal court allocates the salary!”

"My father just died! I'm waiting to go home and fulfill my filial piety!"

"What a coincidence, my family is also in mourning, and I'm waiting to get the money back home!"

The rough guys who entered the account were full of dissatisfaction. If they didn't pay them, they wouldn't pay them. Some people would be paid and some people wouldn't be paid. They couldn't bear it anymore: "Back then, you said, let us go with the army to Kaifeng King Qin, and we will get hundreds of bounties." Two, to be granted the title of general. Now there is no need to go to Kaifeng, and there is no chance of being granted the title of general. We just want to get the salary we deserve, and we can do whatever we need to do. We can't stay in this military camp all the time. Are you ready?"

Liu Hao rolled his eyes and pointed at Zhao Gou: "Did you see that? This is the Golden Spear General who is personally proclaimed by the official family. This time, he came here to solve the salary problem of all brothers."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhao Gou to speak, he pulled Zhao Gou aside and said, "Help me, or there will be a mutiny."

Zhao Gou looked confused and asked through gritted teeth, "Do you owe wages?"

Liu Hao wanted to die: "It's a long story, let's help brothers stabilize these people first."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou turned around and looked at these rough guys. They all had fierce faces and a very naughty attitude in their demeanor. Then he turned around and asked, "Are you my general of the Song Dynasty?"

The leading rough man spat: "We are righteous men! At the beginning, Dr. Liu recruited righteous men and said that he would go to Kaifeng City to save the emperor. He promised that everyone would have salary after the war. Now the emperor does not need us to save him, but we should give him what he deserves. Pay, not a penny less!”

Zhao Gou probably understood what was going on: "Fearless heroes, don't panic. Doctor Liu has reported the matter to the imperial court. The imperial court then sent his general here. After counting the number of people, he will report back to the imperial court. Everyone will be paid."

When these rough guys heard this, they thought for a moment: "You are a military general, will your words be of any use?"

Military generals in the Song Dynasty were not as good as civil servants in terms of salary and prestige in society. If a civil servant came to speak at this time, these people would probably not be suspicious.

Liu Hao also wanted Wang Bo, the prefect of Xiangzhou, to come out and say something to calm the hearts of these people.

But a local official like Uncle Wang had too many things on his mind. When he heard that it was a matter of payment, he didn't want to pay any attention to it. He said that he couldn't ask the court for money for these people. The court is not happy, why bother!

Although Zhao Gou had never been in the government, he also knew the status of generals in the Song Dynasty. Obviously, his reputation as a golden gun general could not suppress the situation. He could only smile and shake his head and said: "Don't worry, I will." There is another layer of identity, King Kang Zhao Gou, maybe you believe it?"

After coaxing away these dissatisfied righteous men, Zhao Gou breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw Liu Hao covered in cold sweat: "General, general, although the matter is urgent, you cannot pretend to be a relative of the emperor. Do you know what crime this is? You lost your head!"

Zhao Gou laughed and said: "A mere prince, do you still want to pretend to be a prince? I, Zhao Gou, will be as good as he is!"

Liu Hao was startled and looked Zhao Gou up and down again. Not to mention, he was really royal and noble: "You...are you really Prince Kang?"

Zhao Gou looked at the accompanying imperial troops. One of the imperial troops bowed and said, "It is King Kang. He was stationed in Taiyuan Mansion with General Han Shizhong on the order of the official family. Because of General Han's order, he came to Xiangzhou to look for someone."

Liu Hao quickly saluted: "Liu Hao, the last general, has met King Kang. I wonder who King Kang is looking for?"

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "My surname is Yue and my name is Fei."
