Zhao Zuoliang's dissuasion made Zhao Kaishan hesitate a little.
When he was a child, he occasionally heard people talk about Zhao Guangyi's failure in the Northern Expedition. Basically, everyone felt sad and thought it was a joke. They mocked Zhao Guangyi privately and thought he was incompetent.
Almost the same thing happened now. Zhao Kaishan felt that if he persisted in going northward, it would indeed cause instability in the morale of the military.
Moreover, as the New Year is approaching, many people indeed think about reuniting with their families during the New Year, thinking that after all the hard work, they should enjoy it with their families throughout the year, without any thought of fighting.
But if we don't take this opportunity to consolidate the results, if Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi in the north are destroyed, and the Jin army sends a large force south to support Daming Mansion, wouldn't all the hard work for so long be in vain?
How can such a thing be accepted?
When Zhao Kaishan was hesitant, an important piece of information came through, which made him panic, panic, and even a little scared.
Previously, news did come from the north that the Jin Army had a large cavalry going south to suppress the rebellion, posing a huge threat to Su Yonglin's and Sun Tzu Yi's troops in the north.
Although he never received help from these two people, Zhao Kaishan was also secretly mentally prepared for the death of these two people.
He will feel that if these two people are finished, he will be in danger, but his inner worries are somewhat removed. From now on, the rebels in the entire Central Plains can only look forward to himself, and he will be the final savior.
In this way, he still has the strength to fight. If he loses, the worst he can do is run away and go to the Southern Song Dynasty. He will remain anonymous and spend his old age in peace. After all, his death will not be ugly.
But the latest news shows that the Liberation Army won this battle.
To be precise, Su Yonglin won the battle.
He led his army to a head-on confrontation with the Jin Army's cavalry, defeated the Jin Army's cavalry face to face, wiped out more than 10,000 enemies, eliminated the Jin Army's cavalry to suppress the rebellion, and relieved the crisis in Hebei in one fell swoop.
The situation in Hebei immediately became clear.
Now the whole of Hebei is obeying Su Yonglin's orders, and Su Yonglin has also openly taken the title of General Manager of Hebei that Zhao Kaishan had promised him before. He calls himself the General Manager of Hebei and is fully responsible for the military and political affairs of the entire Hebei.
He has become the general manager of Hebei in an upright and honest manner, and he is so legitimate that no one feels inappropriate.
According to further intelligence investigation, it was learned that Sun Tzu Yi's headquarters had been organized and organized under the command of Su Yonglin, and the Shengjie Army and the Shenwu Army had merged.
Sun Tzu Yi gave up the leadership and let Su Yonglin take the lead. He followed his orders and gave up the idea of fighting independently.
The whole of Hebei is praising the bravery of Su Yonglin and the Shengjie Army, and no one cares about the name of the original Liberation Army and the name of the Kaishan Zhao.
Zhao Kaishan was shocked by this and at a loss what to do. He once thought that there was a flaw in the information and was unwilling to believe it.
It wasn't until the news of Su Yonglin's victory arrived that he claimed to be General of the Cavalry of the Liberation Army and General Manager of Hebei, and in this capacity congratulated Zhao Kaishan on his victory and asked for credit, did Zhao Kaishan finally confirm that Su Yonglin had truly surpassed his imagination.
He was completely panicked.
Don't talk about him, Zhao Zuoliang panicked.
When news began to circulate throughout the army that Su Yonglin had defeated the Jin Army's 20,000 cavalry and successfully occupied Hebei, the generals and soldiers in the army, regardless of their place of origin, were all praising Su Yonglin, and even showed respect and admiration for him. At that time, Zhao Zuoliang felt that the situation had changed dramatically.
Zhao Kaishan hurriedly found Zhao Zuoliang and asked him for advice, hoping to get a proper response plan from him, but what could Zhao Zuoliang do about this?
Conspiracies and tricks are powerless in the face of absolute strength.
Since Su Yonglin was able to defeat the Jin Army's 20,000 cavalry head-on, it was enough to prove that his strength was no longer on the same level as Zhao Kaishan.
Even if his troops are not too large, the quality of the army and his personal abilities are not on the same level as Zhao Kaishan.
No matter what Zhao Kaishan does, it is impossible to change this situation in a short time.
Or to put it more directly.
Su Yonglin's military strength and political power are already showing signs of surpassing Zhao Kaishan, or to be more direct, he has already surpassed him. Su Yonglin's military strength is already very strong, and it is not something that Zhao Kaishan can handle.
If the two armies fight head-on, Zhao Kaishan will definitely lose.
This time, he asked Zhao Kaishan for credit as the general of the Hussars of the Liberation Army and the general manager of Hebei, showing that he was still willing to take Zhao Kaishan as the leader. However, judging from various signs, Zhao Kaishan no longer had any restraint on him. Able.
His wings are stiff.
With the entire Hebei and part of Shandong as his confidence, he no longer needs to get anything through Zhao Kaishan.
He is still willing to fly under the banner of the Liberation Army and consider himself a Cavalry General of the Liberation Army. This may be a reflection of his final tenderness towards Zhao Kaishan and his overall consideration for the overall situation.
He was unwilling to confront Zhao Kaishan, so he was tolerant and scrupulous about him, but he would not give him any military or political concessions.
That's probably it.
Seeing Zhao Kaishan's busy and confused expression, Zhao Zuoliang even felt that the news that Su Yonglin defeated the Jin army was more difficult for Zhao Kaishan to accept than the news that Su Yonglin's entire army was annihilated.
But now this situation is completely embarrassing, and he can't accept it even if he wants to, so one can imagine the worry, fear, unhappiness and confusion in Zhao Kaishan's heart.
He needs someone to help him understand the current situation and make a correct judgment.
Zhao Zuoliang's ability in this area is limited and he can only do his best.
"The current situation does not allow us to do anything more. In Kaishan, Su Yuting has the ability to defeat the Golden Thief Cavalry head-on. His strength is clearly visible, and the strength of the Shengjie Army is clearly visible. That is not just casual. People can shake it.
In the future, Su Yuting's only enemy, the only enemy that can threaten him is probably the gold master. Only if the gold master mobilizes the whole country's troops to go south to attack Su Yuting can Su Yuting take it seriously. And once Su Yuting can even get through this level..."
Zhao Zuoliang did not finish what he said next, but he believed that Zhao Kaishan understood.
"If we break through, the Kingdom of Jin will be over. Su Yonglin can really overthrow the Kingdom of Jin and do such an incredible thing."
Zhao Kaishan seemed to be talking to Zhao Zuoliang, but it was more like whispering.
But this is not important. What is important is that the strength and ability displayed by Su Yonglin are completely beyond Zhao Kaishan's imagination.
He originally thought that although Su Yonglin was strong, he was only strong within a certain limit, but the strength Su Yonglin showed this time was actually demonstrated, and he was completely strong without any moisture at all.
This kind of strength will become an important basis for many people to rush to him or even invest in him in this troubled world.
Because he is strong, he can protect the interests of those who support him better than other forces.
These people will willingly provide him with taxes, food, money, and even women. It may seem like they have paid a lot, but in fact they will get more and it will be more meaningful.
If Su Yonglin becomes the final winner, then they will make a bloody profit.
What does a little investment now mean?
Therefore, it is obvious that the powerful Han landlords in Hebei will quickly turn to Su Yonglin in a short period of time, setting off one round of uprising peaks after another, which will greatly encourage the rise of forces from all sides who are dissatisfied with Jin Ting.
And Su Yonglin will undoubtedly become the central figure.
He will become a well-known hero and a great hero. As for Zhao Kaishan, the nominal master of the Liberation Army, probably no more people will care.
Even his current subordinates and those who support him will turn to offer an olive branch to Su Yonglin, and even encourage Su Yonglin to become the top leader of the Liberation Army instead of Zhao Kaishan.
A sense of urgency prompted Zhao Kaishan to seek support and recognition from the outside. He needed enough support and recognition to build his sense of security.
Otherwise he will lose everything he has now!
"No! I can't just sit back and watch Su Yonglin continue to expand his power! I have to do something!"
Zhao Kaishan clenched his fists and looked at Zhao Zuoliang: "Uncle, I must conquer Daming Mansion as soon as possible, so that I can tell everyone that I am strong too!"
Zhao Kaishan made up his mind and could no longer be shaken.
