Huang Zong was one of the officials brought to Jiangnan by Zhao Huan this time. Even Zhao Huan did not know the existence of this person.
He is one of the new Jinshi, a supplementary doctor, and has not yet had a real official position and authority. It can be said that he is a real newcomer to the officialdom.
Compared with the "appropriateness" and forbearance of those veteran ministers, Huang Zong, as a new Jinshi, can be said to be full of vitality from top to bottom.
He had even prepared a military essay to write to the court, so that the court would take him seriously and transfer him into the army.
Compared with other civil servants who were afraid of being in the army, Huang Zong was different. He longed for the army and even wanted to be able to show off his talents after entering the army.
He has the heart and the ability.
When Yue Fei and Zhao Huan proposed to persuade many Dongting Lake rebel generals to surrender, most of them sighed, and were even thinking of ways to refuse or simply flee to confuse things.
Only Huang Zong thought this was a brilliant plan!
Don't look at Yang Yao who always said that he was the Great Sage Heavenly King of Chu, and even created some sort of prince and was awarded an official position.
But in the end that's not the point.
The point is that they are an alliance at all, but Yang Yao is too dazzling so people cover up this matter.
Not to mention other things, except for the military advisor Huang Cheng, the main general under his command, Yang Qinai, was the Dongting Lake water bandit back then. Yang Guang was an old man who followed Zhong Xiang. He surrendered to Zhong Xiang but did not count as Yang Yao's subordinate.
As for people like Cili Chen Yuxin, Songzi Li Herong, and Liyang Yingxuan, needless to say, they are all local powerful people.
It's just that they have this ambition, but don't have the ability, so they gather together, beside Zhong Xiang, and under Yang Yao's command to keep warm.
If Zhong Xiang was still there before, and the so-called great Chu was united and the soldiers went to die, then of course it goes without saying.
But now Yang Yao is acting recklessly, causing people around him to start to have opinions. At this time, problems with this situation have arisen. They even have their family members by their side, and they have formed separate camps and stationed themselves on one side.
This means that if they really have something in mind, Yang Yao wants to solve it quickly, which is very difficult for him. This is why Yue Fei dared to say that he would surrender without fighting and persuade Dongting to surrender.
It's not that no one knew that Yang Yao would not surrender. Even when facing their court, the court of the Jin people, and even the envoys of Liu Yu and Duchong, he would directly kill the corpse with a knife.
But this time Yue Fei was not targeting Yang Yao, a die-hard element. This time he was facing many generals under Yang Yao.
Huang Zong knew that his chance had finally come!
Yue Fei and Zhao Huan looked at the Chaozhong officials who were gradually leaving, and each had their own smiles on their faces.
Naturally, the many generals and commanders under Yang Yao wanted to persuade them to surrender, but if they were expected to do so...there would be no choice but to do bad things.
But why did Zhao Huan dare to do this without worrying about what big trouble they would cause him?
In the final analysis, it is because he is not afraid that these people will do bad things to him. He feels that these people will be directly divided into the following factions.
First, if you are sick, sick, injured suddenly, or if you really can't do it, you will be beaten. Anyway, you are unwilling to go, and you would rather be scolded or ridiculed than to save your life.
Is this kind of person available?
Available!
Although they are timid and cowardly, these people understand the truth and can see that this time is both an opportunity and a crisis. These people understand the most basic truth in this court.
They must stand upright when they are beaten and shut up when they are scolded. They may not be capable, but they can do something about insignificant things. As long as you hang a knife on them, these people will understand what priorities are.
And they will not fight to the death with this knife, which is moderate.
Secondly, if you really go out, you really won’t go.
They would use various methods and reasons to disguise themselves as good and loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty, and then find reasons to come back after going out to show their outstanding achievements.
He pinned the reason for his failure on the Dongting bandits and told Zhao Huan that there was no need to persuade the Dongting Lake bandits to surrender.
They are just a group of thieves, thieves who deserve to be cut to pieces!
Such people are not available, and they will even become the first targets of Zhao Huan's elimination.
Because for the sake of their own glory and wealth, they will use their little brains to step on others to get to the top. In prosperous times, they will fight among themselves, but in troubled times, it will bring disaster to the country and the people.
This kind of person should be killed!
Third, there are those who really try to persuade them to surrender, and even take the initiative to choose their own targets, such as Huang Zong.
This kind of person will be the backbone of the DPRK in the future. Not to mention other things, this kind of person not only has the vision of the first kind of person, but also can see that this is a choice where crisis and opportunity coexist. courage.
They dare to fight hard, dare to take risks, and then dare to make their own choices at such times.
Even Zhao Huan doesn't care whether these people can succeed. The fact that they have this vision shows that they are talented enough, and the courage that they have shows that they are capable enough.
If it fails in the end, it can only be said that it is not yet time. There is no need to worry. Give them enough time and opportunities, and they will naturally become the kind of people they want.
In today's world, what is most indispensable is this time and this opportunity.
Of course, there is actually one last kind of person.
That is the veteran minister who is standing next to Zhao Huan now, Zhang Jun and the group of people he represents.
They could see Zhao Huan's purpose in doing this, but they knew that they were not good at it. On the contrary, they were better at it.
For example, making suggestions for the army, checking for leaks and filling vacancies for Zhao Huan, jumping out of this circle and entering a new realm.
The most famous one is the future famous official Zhang Jun. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Zhenghe. Zhang Jun was promoted to Jinshi in the 800th year. During the court, he held the positions of editor of the Privy Council and imperial censor.
He is also quite famous in history. His greatest achievement is running Sichuan and Shaanxi. Although he was defeated in the Battle of Fuping, he trained new soldiers and appointed Liu Ziyu, Zhao Kai, Wu Jie and others, which also made Jianghuai peaceful. .
Although there were small victories later on, this bullshit temperament always led to very stiff arguments with the generals below, eventually leading to a major defeat.
Therefore, this kind of person is not suitable for the military. He can run a place or serve in the court.
But what satisfied Zhao Huan the most about Zhang Jun was that he admired Yue Fei very much. He always felt that people like Yue Fei were simply the best generals in the world. He would always say to Yue Fei, "General Yue Fei is truly a man of heaven!"
As a result, Yue Fei stayed as far away from him as possible, always feeling that this guy's eyes were weird.
Zhang Jun also has a group of young officials around him, and they are all decent young talents. They have their own means, some are good at military strategy, and some are good at governance.
Generally speaking, these people are visionary, courageous, capable, and know what they need. Zhao Huan will still reuse these people.
Including the controversial Zhang Jun, as long as he is not sent to the battlefield, he is a good minister.
Now that the situation has unfolded, after Kong Yanzhou, the second traitor targeting Yang Yao has been let in by Yue Fei.
After such a long period of fighting in the north and south, Yue Fei, who was only twenty-five years old, also eliminated the Qingyuan Army Jiedu Envoy and Jinghu North Road Jing, Xiang, and Tanzhou Zhizhi Envoys, becoming the youngest founder in the history of the Song Dynasty. Festival person.
Speaking of this point alone, Zhao Huan would also like to say that Zhao Gou was really kind to Yue Fei in the early stages of history, because Yue Fei was the youngest person in history to restore the border generals and establish the rule.
It's just that how good Zhao Gou was to Yue Fei in the early stage, but how miserable he was in the later stage. Zhao Huan felt that he would not be like this.
His subordinate general Yang Hua had been accidentally "captured" by the enemy in the first battle. After surrendering first, he immediately informed Yang Yao of Yue Fei's arrangements and asked him to divide his troops and set up strongholds to resist Yue Fei's attack.
Afterwards, Yue Fei's army slowly advanced, putting pressure on Dongting Lake. At the same time, he personally lurked into Dongting Lake and directly found Huang Zuo, one of Yang Yao's generals.
Huang Zuo, like Yang Qin and Huang Cheng, was one of Yang Yao's main generals. He had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and there were also many elite navy troops. He was a man with both civil and military skills who followed Zhong Xiang back then.
A person who came from a poor background and relied on his talent to achieve his existence bit by bit.
Now that the situation in Dongting Lake is like this, Huang Zuo feels bad, but when the officers and soldiers arrive, he can't say anything about abandoning so many people in Dongting Lake.
In the end, he could only fall into entanglement, until he met the person who claimed to be his friend, and the situation finally began to change.
"You claim to be a friend of a certain family who came to visit you, but that family is convinced that they have never seen you. I wonder who you are and why you are here?"
Huang Zuo had a plan. He already understood it when he heard someone asking for a meeting. When he confirmed that this person was really not his friend, there was no need to say more.
Make it clear directly.
Looking at the soldiers around him who had already put their hands on the hilt of their swords, Yue Fei was not too anxious. He just bowed calmly and spoke softly.
"A certain family is a lobbyist under the command of Yue Fei, the envoy of the Qingyuan Army and the Zhizhi envoy of Jinghu North Road, Jingxiang and Tanzhou. You came here today for one thing only.
I want to ask General Huang to serve the great cause and don’t worry about his nickname! "
"Ha!" Huang Zuo couldn't help but sneered, "Do you want a certain family to surrender? You can't conquer Dongting Lake, so why don't you just start daydreaming like this?"
"We don't need to attack Dongting Lake anymore." Yue Fei, who was anonymous, had a smile on his face, without any sign of anger, "Now that Dongting Lake has been smoky by Yang Yao, we only need to besiege it in this situation.
Then relax the pressure on it and let it continue to cause trouble.
When you, the people of Dongting Lake, can no longer survive, Yang Yao will start to kill your own people and wield the butcher knife.
When the time comes, we will take advantage of the situation and recover, why not? "
"....In that case, what are you doing here!"
"The officials and my generals can't bear to watch Zhong Xiang's hard work all his life turn into a complete joke, if it weren't for the pity for the people of Jiangnan and the heart of Zhong Xiang.
Do you really think someone is willing to come here? "
With a loud roar, Huang Zuo became silent.
