So Xu Xian asked Han Yanzhi to temporarily recruit these martyrs who were willing to join the anti-golden team.
In fact, Xu Xian has long wanted to cultivate an army of his own.
After all, Li Xianzhong is now one of Xu Xian's two lieutenants. Although Li Xianzhong has repeatedly shown his loyalty to him, the people under him are all former Huaixi Army and are loyal to the imperial court. Of course, they are unreliable.
The other lieutenant general, Wang Qi, used to have the Huaidong Army, and had less contact with Xu Xian. He also ended up in the imperial court, and he was just as unreliable.
Xu Xian didn't know when the troops of Li Xianzhong and Wang Qi would be transferred back by the court, but Xu Xian knew that he would definitely not be able to influence whether these people should stay or stay.
Most of the 100,000 troops that Xu Xian has in his hands are newly recruited and trained by Xu Xian, so they are naturally more reliable.
But these 100,000 troops were certainly not enough for Xu Xian, who was determined to regain the Central Plains.
Otherwise, Xu Xian would not have taken the risk to test the situation in Bianjing first, and then planned to cooperate with the Jin general Pu San Zhongyi.
Just as Xu Xian was preparing his troops and horses for the expedition, an official suddenly arrived.
"In accordance with the order of Haotian's family, I commissioned the army to defeat the captives. Now that the work has been accomplished, I am very pleased. This is the achievement of Duke Ji, so I ask you to return quickly and give me a generous reward. I will attack the captives again. I will make my own decision."
That’s right!”
"This is the imperial edict written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself to Marshal Xu!"
"I hope the commander will accept the order quickly and follow me back to Lin'an to receive the reward!"
After the official finished reading the edict, he began to urge Xu Xian.
The meaning of this edict is that Zhao Shen asked him to return to Lin'an immediately to receive the reward, and after receiving the reward, he would come back to preside over the anti-gold campaign.
But when Xu Xian received the news that Zhao Gou had been welcomed back to Lin'an from Shaoxing, he understood that this edict was probably because Zhao Gou was afraid that he would not be able to recall Xu Xian according to his own will, so he continued to summon Xu Xian himself in the name of Zhao Shen.
gone back.
After all, Xu Xian now holds the command of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Song Dynasty. After Zhao Gou regained power, he naturally had to be the first to find a way to regain military power from Xu Xian.
Zhao Gou understood that Xu Xian was determined to fight against the Jin, but he was also afraid that Xu Xian would disobey and not return, so he added a clause later, allowing Xu Xian to receive the reward in Lin'an and then come back to preside over the fight against the Jin.
Now Xu Xian is not a foolish and loyal person. How could he not understand that Zhao Gou didn't really call him back to receive rewards? If he really went back to Lin'an at this time, his end might be worse than that of Marshal Yue.
"Now that the fight against the Tatars is at its most critical moment, I, Xu Xian, really cannot escape and return to Lin'an to accept the reward from His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"I hope that after this official returns to Lin'an, he can express his gratitude to His Highness the Crown Prince for me, Xu Xian!"
"Now that our army's supplies and supplies have become increasingly scarce, I'm afraid we can no longer support His Highness the Crown Prince's great cause of resisting gold!"
"I also hope that after this official returns to Lin'an, he can ask His Highness the Crown Prince for more supplies, food and other supplies for us!"
Thinking of this, Xu Xian responded to the official who announced the decree.
"Let this be considered as a meeting gift from me, Xu Xian, to Mr. Guan!"
"I also hope that after this official returns to Beijing, Duoduo can speak kindly to me, Xu Xian, in front of the Holy Master. I, Xu Xian, will definitely thank you very much in the future!"
"Master, please go back to Lin'an as soon as possible!"
At this time, Xu Xian quietly ordered Yue Lin to bring two gold ingots and put them into the official's arms.
"good!"
"good……!"
"After I return to the capital, I will definitely speak kindly to Marshal Xu in front of His Highness the Holy...Prince!"
"I'm going to take my leave now...I'm going to take my leave!"
The official held the gold ingot tightly in his arms and hurried back to Lin'an.
"Commander!"
"You just gave the two ingots of gold to bribe the official. Aren't you afraid that catching the chicken will end up losing the rice?"
After the official left, Yue Lin came over and asked in confusion.
"Didn't you notice that the official was dressed just now?"
"He is a low-ranking official of the eighth rank, and he is actually wearing silk and satin, and there is also a valuable jade pendant hanging on his body. This kind of person is obviously a greedy person!"
Xu Xian responded.
"If this official was born into a wealthy family, his outfit would be normal!"
"Commander, why do you think it is a greedy person?"
Yue Lin was still puzzled.
"You do not understand?"
"Look at the clothes I wear when I go out, do you think someone would think of me as Marshal Xu?"
Xu Xian asked.
"Won't!"
"Of course not!"
"Generally handsome, you dress just like an ordinary boy. How do you look like a handsome man?"
Yue Lin immediately shook his head.
"That's it!"
"One cannot judge wealth based on appearance, nor can one judge good from bad based on rumors!"
"Just like that official, he actually spent all his money on dressing up, so this kind of person needs to obtain more ill-gotten wealth in order to better disguise himself!"
"And it just leaked it to us. As expected, the person who asked it to come this time was not the Crown Prince Zhao Shen, but the foolish king Zhao Gou. The Crown Prince just wrote the edict on his behalf!
"
"But my two gold ingots may ruin that official's future from now on!"
Xu Xian analyzed it to Yue Lin.
"I, Yue Lin, have been taught a lesson by the commander's words!"
"I didn't expect that I, Yue Lin, who has been studying for more than ten years since childhood, know less than you, the commander-in-chief!"
Yue Lin naturally admired Xu Xian more and more at this moment.
Lin'an City, Imperial Palace Hall.
"Report to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yi, has gone to deliver the decree to Marshal Xu according to your order!"
"Commander Xu is not only personable, but also heroic and heroic. When those Tatars saw Marshal Xu, they felt as if they were seeing a god descending from heaven. They were so frightened that they ran away!"
"I believe that under the wise command of Marshal Xu, our Song Dynasty will be able to regain the entire Central Plains in one fell swoop within half a year!"
This official named Zhou Yi received a bribe from Xu Xian, and when he came back, he had to put in a good word for Xu Xian in front of the emperor.
"presumptuous!"
"Bold Zhou Yi!"
"I asked you to report when Xu Xian will return to Beijing, not to praise him!"
At this moment, Zhao Gou heard that after Zhou Yi went to declare the decree, he came back and sang praises to the people he hated, and his face suddenly changed with anger.
"I...I know the crime!"
"I hope your Majesty will calm down... calm down!"
Zhou Yi naturally didn't know why Zhao Gou was angry.
"This time I went to Shouxian County to see Marshal Xu. As expected, Marshal Xu lived up to the trust of His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince. The Jin soldiers who had been beaten fled in all directions!"
"Moreover, Marshal Xu will soon march into Bianliang and recapture Bianjing!"
"As Marshal Xu has been fighting with the Jin soldiers for a long time, he has already experienced a shortage of food, grass and baggage. So I beg you, Your Majesty, to send more grain, grass and baggage to the front line to support Marshal Xu in his great cause of conquering gold!"
"shut up!"
"I asked you east, did you say west?"
"Do you still have me in your eyes?"
"Pull it out and hit twenty big boards first to make it wake up, wake up!"
Zhao Gou could no longer bear it at this moment.
After all, Zhou Yi had not answered Zhao Gou's biggest concern until now. Instead, he first mentioned Xu Xian's request for food, grass, and luggage from Zhao Gou, which made Zhao Gou even more disgusted.
Zhou Yi, a small official, certainly didn't understand the enmity between Zhao Gou and Xu Xian.
Zhou Yi brought the food, grass and baggage, of course, hoping that after Zhao Gou quickly agreed to the food, grass and baggage requested by Marshal Xu, he would be able to make another fortune from Xu Xian.
After all, Xu Xian gave two ingots of gold when they met. Such a generous move made Zhou Yi even more greedy. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi, this little clever guy, would get himself hurt first. This chapter has been completed!
