Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

For Emperor Huizong of Song, the New Year of 1114 AD was perhaps the most tasteless year.

The Liangshan rebels successively captured Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road, and it was only more than a hundred miles away from Bianjing, which was like a spear on Song Huizong’s neck.

Because of this, Song Huizong almost couldn’t sleep well.

He was afraid that after falling asleep, he would wake up to find that the Liangshan rebels had already hit the city of Bianjing.

“Nope! Xu must suppress the Liangshan thief army, and cannot let the Liangshan thief army develop and grow. Otherwise, the Jiangshan community of the Great Song Dynasty will not be guaranteed. At that time, Xu will go to see Emperor Taizong with his face! Song Huizong swore more than once.

After the New Year, Song Huizong immediately summoned a group of confidant ministers to discuss countermeasures.

These henchmen included the imperial master Cai Jing, the privy envoy Gao Liang, the imperial lieutenant Liang Shicheng, the former commander of the palace Su Yuanjing, the imperial historian Wang Yi, and the chief eunuch Yang Jian. That’s right, the name of this chief eunuch is the same as the mythical and legendary god Erlang.

“Dear Aiqing, although it is winter. The Liangshan bandit army had stopped attacking. However, I heard that the Liangshan thief army was hurrying to train military horses. Clearly, next spring, they have bigger plans. The Liangshan thief army has undoubtedly developed into my Great Song’s henchman! What are your plans for this? Song Huizong looked at his henchman.

“Your Majesty, the forbidden armies from various places are currently gathering towards Bianjing. In addition, the reconstruction of the left wing of the Longjie Army, the Dragon Guard Army and the Divine Guard Army has also been put on the agenda. By the time of spring, the imperial court forbidden army will not only be able to regain its strength, but even become stronger. At that time, you will definitely be able to defeat the Liangshan thief army! Gao Lian said.

The left wing of the Long Jie Army, the Dragon Guard Army and the Divine Guard Army have all been killed by the Liangshan Rebels.

But immediately after Gao became the Privy Seal, he began to rebuild these troops.

Moreover, they installed their henchmen in these units so that they could strengthen their control over these troops and establish their own connections.

“Will it really be able to defeat the Liangshan Thief Army at that time?” Song Huizong asked.

Perhaps it was last year’s fiasco that made Song Huizong very annoyed, so much so that he already had great doubts about the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.

“Your Majesty, after the defeat of the Forbidden Army last year, it has been shameful and courageous. Next time, we will definitely be able to defeat the Liangshan thief army! Gao Lian seemed very confident.

“Your Majesty, the old minister has other opinions.” The commander of the front division of the hall made Su Yuanjing stand up.

“Oh? What does Su Aiqing think? Song Huizong asked.

Su Yuanjing was also a confidant of Emperor Huizong of Song. It’s just that he doesn’t deal with Cai Jing, Gao Lian and others very well. So much so that Cai Jing and Gao Lian and others were bent on crushing him.

But because of Song Huizong’s trust, he has never been able to succeed.

Song Huizong is not a fool, naturally it is impossible to let Cai Jing and Gao Lian and others control the imperial government.

Especially after Tong Guan’s death, after Gao Lian succeeded him as the privy envoy, he wanted to support Su Yuanjing to confront Cai Jing and Gao Lian and others.

“Your Majesty, the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan Thief Army has undoubtedly been reflected. Now, Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road have all fallen into the Liangshan thief army. If the imperial court wants to eliminate the Liangshan thief army, it will be very difficult. If you don’t get it right, it will even lose the soldiers. Su Yuanjing said.

“Master Su, you are clearly full of nonsense, shaking the heart of the army!” Gao Lian immediately jumped out and accused Su Yuanjing.

“Let Su Aiqing continue!” Song Huizong frowned dissatisfied.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Gao Lian quickly retreated.

“Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, we might as well recruit the Liangshan thief army. The Liangshan thief army also has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. And the combat effectiveness is strong. If I can recruit them and let them fight with the Liao and Xixia people, it will definitely be the best result for my Great Song. Su Yuanjing said.

“Recruit the Liangshan Thief Army?” Song Huizong was stunned, he didn’t expect Su Yuanjing to actually make such a suggestion.

“Master Su, are you kidding? The Liangshan Thief Army has killed so many brothers of my Forbidden Army, how can they be recruited? Gao Lian scolded angrily with a dark face.

“Lord Gao, then if you want to wipe out the Liangshan Thief Army, how many people will the Forbidden Army be prepared to die?” Su Yuanjing went head-to-head.

“This…” Gao Lian froze.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, it was the way it was.

The Liangshan rebel army was strong in combat, even if he slapped his chest in front of Song Huizong.

But if it really started, he still didn’t have much confidence.

It’s just that if you want to recruit the Liangshan rebels, Gao Liang is unwilling in his heart.

Such a powerful army as the Liangshan Rebels must be an enemy of him. For the power that cannot be held in his own hands, Gao Lian has always hoped to destroy it. Otherwise, his position will be threatened.

“Zhao’an Liangshan, I’m afraid it’s not easy!” Cai Jing also said.

“Tai Shi, it is indeed very difficult. But if it succeeds, this will definitely be a great thing for my Great Song Imperial Court!” Not only can so many officers and men be killed and injured, but they can also save a lot of money and food. More importantly, Liangshan, an elite army, could be sent to the northern front to fight against the Liao and Western Xia people. It’s definitely a great way to kill two birds with one stone! Su Yuanjing insisted.

Song Huizong’s face couldn’t help but show a trace of longing.

For the Liangshan rebels, Song Huizong naturally gritted his teeth with hatred.

But if you can let the Liangshan rebels fight with the Liao and Xixia people to break the net, it will definitely be the best result.

Perhaps, he can still rely on the Liangshan rebel army to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun!

Thinking of this, Song Huizong’s heart couldn’t help but get excited.

If successful, he will definitely be known as the lord of Zhongxing of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, Song Huizong also knew that it would be very difficult to get the Liangshan rebels to agree to recruit An. After all, the strength of the Liangshan Rebel Army was so strong, how could it be so easy to submit to him?

“Dear Aiqing! Recruiting the Liangshan thief army is indeed of great benefit to my Great Song Dynasty. So, let’s talk about it, how can we get the Liangshan thief army to accept the recruitment of my Great Song Dynasty? In Song Huizong’s heart, he obviously had already made a decision. He already wanted to use the Liangshan rebels to deal with the Liao State and Western Xia. Or rather, expect to see them die together.
