Chapter 1962: Four famous prisoners go south, and Liangshan heroes appear!
Song Shenzong nodded and asked sideways: "This matter is not a trivial matter. We must prepare for a war. Who do you think it would be good for Shenhou to send to conquer the south?"
Zhuge Shenhou bowed and said: "If Yang Jiye is invincible with the Golden Sword and cultivates the Tao of Masters, and one of these two people can lead an army of 300,000, then he is nothing more than a bandit!"
Song Shenzong frowned and pondered undecided.
Cai Jing's ability to observe words and emotions was extremely good, and he immediately stood up and said: "Absolutely not! Yang Linggong guards the northern border for the country and defends the Liao Kingdom. Don't move lightly. Although Zhong Shidao is good at fighting, he wants to suppress Xixia. Once Xixia Li Yuanhao sees it,
Then we will raise troops to attack and cause a catastrophe!"
Zhuge Shenhou's expression remained unchanged and he said: "The Yang family is a group of heroes. They are all special service officers. They guard the border and are as stable as Mount Tai. There are also..."
Before he finished speaking, Song Shenzong waved his hand and interrupted: "Shenhou, Zhongshidao and Yang Linggong are indeed the pillars of the country. They should not leave the border lightly..."
"Your Majesty is wise. I have been thinking about it for several days and couldn't sleep. I think so..."
Cai Jing bowed and said.
When it comes to grasping people's hearts and fighting in court, Zhuge Shenhou, a loyal and upright man, is really no match for Cai Jing.
Cai Jing served Song Shenzong for decades, and even when he moved his butt, he knew what he was about to fart.
Song Shenzong asked: "Oh? In that case, the Grand Master already has a suitable candidate?"
Cai Jing bowed and said: "That's right! I recommend one person to be the commander-in-chief. If this person controls the military affairs, the southern expedition against the rebels will be a sure victory!"
Song Shenzong asked with great interest: "Who is this person?"
Cai Daxue said: "This man is Tong Guan, the commander-in-chief of our dynasty. He conquered the south and the north and ran the army rigorously. If he uses Song Jiang and Ling Luoshi as his left and right wings to conquer the south, how can he be invincible?"
"How can Songjiang and Liangshan thieves be of great use?"
"Your Majesty is ridiculous! It is precisely because Song Jiang was born as a bandit and has a large number of troops that we must be more careful. Sending him to conquer the south can consume the power of his old troops. Why not?"
Cai Jing laughed sinisterly.
wonderful!
Wonderful!
There was a member of Cai Jing's party in the court named Wang Fu, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
First, this strategy can cut off the wings of the enemy Song Jiang!
Secondly, they sent the terrifying commander-in-chief to attack Luo Shi, and they were also part of the traitorous party. If they succeeded in the end, Tong Guan would be able to reap huge military exploits!
This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. If Zhu Meng loses his power and falls, another Tong Guan will be raised up. Once he has made a contribution, then their party's position will be even stronger!
Just as Zhuge Shenhou was about to speak, Song Shenzong also nodded, waved his hand, and said: "Then it's settled. With Tong Guan as commander, we will mobilize 400,000 troops and send troops as soon as possible to suppress the south!"
After the court meeting was over, the emperor got up and left, and all the ministers also left the palace. Only Zhuge Shenhou hesitated in front of the palace gate.
The old man looked lonely, looked towards the south, and sighed: "There are loyal ministers and good generals, but they are not reused. Instead, villains are allowed to dance on the stage. The traitors will be trusted, and the traitors will be trusted!"
Tie Shou followed beside him and said angrily: "Uncle Shi, why don't you give me some advice? If you really act like this, good people and loyal ministers will be suppressed, and traitors and thieves will run rampant. What hope is there!?"
Zhuge Shenhou smiled bitterly and said: "Loyal advice is unpleasant to the ears, and good medicine is bitter to the mouth. If your majesty can listen to it, even if you die to remonstrate, what regrets will it have?"
The current situation in the Northern Song Dynasty is that Cai Jing and his party have become a big cancer, attached to the imperial court, and constantly devouring the vitality of the imperial court.
Only by using thunderous means to cut off the cancer can there be hope.
It's a pity that Song Shenzong also prefers Cai Jing in his heart, which is the real despair!
After a while, Zhuge Shenhou frowned and said: "Qingqing is going to the south first. The three of you should also go to support him. This Fang La is just a bandit Kouer. He can confuse people's hearts and cannot be a great weapon...
.On the other hand, this big man who stirred up strange phenomena in the world is unpredictable and will most likely become a serious problem for the Song Dynasty!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Shi!"
The iron-handed horned dragon-like arms touched each other, and he cupped his fists.
...
...
Edo, Song Mansion.
After Song Jiang surrendered to the imperial court, his life was not satisfactory.
Think about how the ministers in the court, who are not descendants of aristocratic families and who usually live in a dignified manner, would look upon such a guy with a background of thieves and bandits. Even though Song Jiang worked hard to rise to the court, he was just a clown in the eyes of Cai Jing and others.
...
The Northern Song Dynasty Guards also suffered several major defeats when they conquered Liangshan. Even the generals in the Northern Song Army basically had a feud with Song Jiang, which was like fire and water.
None of the civil servants and military generals wanted to see him. Even if Song Jiang wanted to get involved in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty and get ahead, it was just wishful thinking.
Song Shenzong certainly didn't have a good impression of the Liangshan bandit leader who had caused him a lot of trouble. After recruiting the Liangshan bandits, he only made Song Jiang a fourth-grade idle general and left him aside.
"Oh, I think back then, my wise brother and I gathered tens of thousands of troops, gathered in Liangshan, divided the gold and weighed the silver. We were really happy. Now..."
Song Jiang drank until his neck was thick and red, and he looked lonely.
At that time, he controlled an army of more than 100,000 people, commanded the situation, and felt so carefree. However, after being recruited by the imperial court, his former glory was gone.
Sitting opposite him was none other than Liangshan Military Advisor Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, who looked like a middle-aged teacher. He smoothed his short beard and said with a smile: "Brother, why should I feel sorry for myself? Foolish brother thinks that the current situation is changing, and the time when eldest brother rises again will not be far away."
Already..."
"oh?"
Song Jiang was moved and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Wu Yong was confident and said: "Brother, have you ever heard of the changes in the South?"
"Of course I have heard that Fang La from the south called himself the Holy Gong, founded the Holy Cult, gathered millions of followers, and created a great momentum. He was even more arrogant than Liangshan back then, and he can be considered a tycoon."
"hehe."
Wu Yong smiled mysteriously and said: "Fang La successively conquered several states in the south, shaking the government and the public. The Dali Kingdom in the southwest also rose up the Han Dynasty. He killed Gao Shengtai's 200,000-strong army and was defeated. He dominated the entire territory of Dali.
Fang La is even more terrifying..."
"In such a turbulent time, and at this time, all the capable commanders in the country and in the country have been transferred to the border by Cai Jing and his party, who else can we conquer the south?!" ...
