Reborn Wu Dalang

The Song court did not get the news until the middle of July in the lunar calendar. www

The summer is scorching, but in the deep palace, Song Huizong Zhao Ji feels chills all over his body.The Liao Kingdom is the feud of the Song Dynasty, but now the Liao Kingdom has been wiped out by Liangshan!The strength of the Liao state was well understood by his ancestors. From the beginning of Song Taizu and Song Taizong, the Liao state was against them, and even the death of Song Taizong was related to the conquest of Liao.After Taizu and Taizong, none of the several kings was an opponent of the Liao Kingdom, and their strength has been recorded in historical materials!However, such a powerful Liao Kingdom was destroyed by Liangshan, how strong should Liangshan be?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I don't believe it!" In the deep palace, Zhao Ji shouted hysterically.

Except for that time of being physically disabled, he has never been so hysterical again.The last time it was because the body was hurt too much, this time it was because the spirit hurt too much.

He is the emperor, the son of heaven, and the king of all the people in the world. He is supposed to rule the world, and his status should not be threatened in any way.But now, his status was deeply threatened by Liang Shan, and he felt so powerless again, so he felt that his spirit was deeply hurt.

"Rebels, this group of rebels, I must destroy them, I must destroy them!" He kept shouting in the deep palace, his voice piercing far away, those maids and eunuchs who served him They all hid far away, and no one dared to stay here.

After an unknown amount of time, a young eunuch finally walked into the palace timidly.

"Your Majesty, the Taishi and Taiwei are asking to see you outside." The little eunuch said.

"Let them wait outside!" Zhao Ji roared angrily.

Outside the main hall, Cai Jing and Gao Qiu also heard the roar inside, and they couldn't help but frowned.

"Your Majesty seems to be very angry! Now that Liangshan has taken down Yanyun, what should the court do?" Cai Jing, who was over 70 years old, was still full of energy, and asked at this moment.

"Liangshan is nothing, as long as I bring up heavy troops, I will definitely destroy Liangshan." Gao Qiu snorted coldly.

"I'm afraid the imperial court's Forbidden Army and Western Army are not Liangshan's opponents." Cai Jing said.

"My imperial army is so strong that it is invincible in the world. Fang La is already destroyed, let alone Liangshan?" Gao Qiu said disdainfully.

After experiencing Fang La's uprising, Gao Qiu was defeated first and then won. He felt that he had understood the key to using troops.The only way to make the army strong is to indulge soldiers to rob and abuse.As long as the soldiers are promised that every time they conquer a city, they are allowed to rob, kill, and rape wantonly in it, and the soldiers will naturally fight hard.As for the daily training, he didn't take it to heart at all, and as for military discipline, he even regarded it as indifferent.

At this moment, even though Liangshan destroyed the Liao Kingdom, the whole court was worried, and the only one who was not worried was him.

"Liang Shan is different from Fang La." Cai Jing shook his head.

"What's the difference? They're all rebels!" Gao Qiu snorted coldly.

"Liangshan already has its own army, which has been trained for many years, and its combat power is extraordinary. However, Fang La at the beginning was just entangled with a group of mobs, and he didn't have much combat power at all." Cai Jing said.

"Hmph, so what if I have my own army? As long as I send troops, I can destroy them immediately." Gao Qiu said.

Hearing Gao Qiu being so conceited, Cai Jing shut his mouth and stopped talking to him.

The two waited outside for an hour, and Zhao Ji finally summoned them.At this moment, Zhao Ji's face was pale, his eyes were red, and the expression on his face was still so angry.

"The two of you must have come here for the bandits. Tell me, what can you do to deal with the bandits?" Zhao Ji said out of breath.

"Your Majesty, we should send troops immediately to wipe out the bandits." Gao Qiu said immediately.

"Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao sent a letter, let us send heavy troops to the border city to strengthen the defense! Neither of them suggested sending troops." Zhao Ji said.

"These two are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they don't think about making progress. Don't listen to what they say!" Gao Qiu sneered.

"I also think so. Now we should attack with all our strength, how can we adopt a defensive position? I have ordered Tong Guan, Zhong Shidao, and Liu Yanqing to take charge of all military affairs of the Western Army, and let them send troops to Hedong within a month to encircle and suppress Liangshan bandits. Gao Qiu, you and Song Jiang are in charge of military affairs in Hebei and Shandong, and your two armies will join forces to destroy Liangshan." Zhao Ji said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to destroy Liangshan!" Gao Qiu said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, please think again." Cai Jing said.

"What does the grand master have to say?" Zhao Ji said.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Tong and Mr. Zhong have been in the northwest for many years. They understand the military. What they say must be old-fashioned words for the country. I think it is better not to enter the army first, but to send people to contact Jurchen and Xixia as Mr. Zhong said, and then Restricting food going north, leaving Yanyun sixteen prefectures with no food available, they will inevitably collapse on their own, and maybe we don’t need to use troops at that time! If we use troops now, if they fail, what will the court do?” Cai Jing said.

"This..." Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, thinking that what Cai Jing said was also reasonable, mainly because Cai Jing's last sentence convinced him that if he failed to use troops now, I'm afraid he would be even more anxious all day long.That being the case, wait a little longer and use troops when it is safer.

"Your Majesty, my Great Song Zu taught us to rule the military with literature. Since the Battle of Fang La, the military generals have become more and more powerful, and gradually surpassed the civil servants. Given time, the disaster of the late Tang Dynasty will not be far away. I think it is necessary to send civil servants to preside over the military. , Military generals are still under civil servants." Cai Jing said again.

"Grand Master, what do you mean?" Gao Qiu was furious when he heard the words. He is a Taiwei, and like Tong Guan and others, he is the leader of military generals in the court. Guan gradually tended to surpass Cai Jing, and he did not expect Cai Jing to say such a thing today.

Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, and nodded slightly.

"Order Huang Qianshan to be the Xuanfu envoy of the Northwest, Zhang Zongchang to be the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, and Zhang Shuye to be the Xuanfu envoy of Shandong. The Western Army and the Forbidden Army must obey the orders of the Xuanfu envoy." Zhao Ji said.

It turned out that Zhao Ji also felt that the army was becoming more and more powerful in recent years, and many big men in the army dared to disobey his orders.Especially when he received a letter from Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao yesterday, Zhong Shidao actually said that Hua Shigang was the source of disaster for the country, which made him extremely angry.He did have the intention of reopening Huashi Gang, but now that Liangshan is a serious threat, he has put this matter aside for the time being.It's just that even though he knew that Hua Shigang was wrong, he would never allow his subordinates to point out his mistakes.This kind of teacher's behavior made him feel the "domineering and arrogant" and "disobedient heart" of generals, and also made him feel how correct the ancestors' rule of martial arts was.Therefore, after listening to Cai Jing's words, he immediately made such an order.

Among Huang Qianshan, Zhang Zongchang, and Zhang Shuye, except for Zhang Shuye who is quite talented, the rest Huang Qianshan and Zhang Zongchang are famous treacherous officials in later generations, but they are good at charming the king, so Zhao Ji likes to reuse such officials .

In the barracks of the Forbidden Army near Bianliang City, Song Jiang, Li Kui, and Shi Jin were sitting together.

Over the years, Song Jiang is still the same as before, and Li Kui has not changed much, but Shi Jin is no longer as young as before, and seems to have matured a lot.

Song Jiang is now the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, his status is second only to Gao Lian, and he has [-] direct soldiers under him. His soldiers train every day, which is already better than the rest of the Imperial Army.Li Kui and Shi Jin are Song Jiang's adjutants.

"Brother, a group of people from Liangshan conquered the Liao Kingdom and wiped out our feud with the Han people. This is the real hero!" Shi Jin said.

"Although they conquered the Liao Kingdom, they did contribute to the Han people, but they are rebels after all!" Song Jiang said.

"Brother, I don't understand. What's wrong with rebels? Weren't we also rebels before? It's really meaningless to be a bird official now!" Li Kui said with a curl of his lips.

"Heizi, I have an important matter for you." Song Jiang frowned and said after a while.

"I don't know what it is?" Li Kui said.

"You take a few military masters, disguise yourself, and go to Korea! Then you find an opportunity to kill Wu Dong!" Song Jiang said.

"Ah!" Li Kui was taken aback, and Shi Jin's expression changed drastically.

"Liangshan conquered the Liao Kingdom, which is indeed a good thing for our Han people! But they are bandits, threatening the world! Wu Dong is the leader of Liangshan. If he kills this man, Liangshan will definitely be in chaos, which is good for the country." Song Jiang said.

"Brother Song, Liangshan is kind to us! When we were in Shaohua Mountain, they sent troops to rescue us." Shi Jin frowned.

"Although they are kind to us, it is a small favor after all! How can we forget the people in the world for such a small favor! If Wu Dong really dies, I will wear sackcloth and filial piety for him, and I will set up a set for him at home. Token, always grateful! But, this person must die!" Song Jiang said.

"Brother, can we also recruit them?" Shi Jin hesitated for a moment and said.

"That Wudong wolf is ambitious, I'm afraid he won't accept the recruitment." Song Jiang said.

"Let's try it out first," Shi Jin said.

"You don't need to try, I know that person very well. Heizi, you start tomorrow. I have already selected those masters for you! You are very skilled in martial arts. As long as you see him appear, you can rush over with an axe, and you will definitely be able to chop took his head." Song Jiang said.

"Brother, I don't want to go!" Li Kui shook his head.

He was also very dissatisfied with Song Jiang's decision.In fact, he doesn't like Wu Dong either. It was Wu Dong who took Li Jun, Zhu Wu and others away, but no matter what, Wu Dong did save their lives.For him, there is no reason to kill the savior if there is a kindness to repay a kindness, and if there is a hatred to avenge.

"If you don't go, you will never be my brother again!" Song Jiang said coldly.

Li Kui was stunned for a while, and after a long time, Li Kui scratched his head and said unwillingly: "Since the eldest brother said so, I will go to Korea."

Although he said this, he felt that he didn't need to do things with his heart, he just needed to go to Korea, and he didn't need to kill Wu Dong.

"If I knew that you were careless, I would never let you go. When the time comes, the friendship between brothers will be broken, and that will be your own fault." Song Jiang said again.

Li Kui was stunned again, and nodded silently for a long time.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Kui headed towards Korea with several masters of the Forbidden Army.
