Walking quickly along the way, Gao Qiu had already begun to figure out which brave and skilled general he should send to assist his only son Gao Zhang.
First, it’s best not to have a very profound background. After all, the background is too profound. Haha, who dares to be sure that he has gone all-in?
Second, it is natural to choose generals who are younger and not so senior.
Such generals are all eager to make achievements, have wives and children, and want to move up the ranks.
Thirdly, it is best to have generals who can win the battle, rather than generals who have survived or relied on flattery.
Among the frontiers of the Song Dynasty, those who had rich combat experience and solid military exploits could only be selected from the generals who came from the northwest frontier army.
Although Gao Qiu prides himself on being both civil and military, he is at least very self-aware and has a pair of eyes that are very good at seeing people.
As I walked quickly to the Baihu Festival Hall, I already had a suitable candidate in mind.
When the Taiwei ascended the throne and summoned the generals of the three yamen to discuss matters, naturally no one dared to neglect them. What was important was that most of them were already aware of the chaos in Jiangnan.
Moreover, at this moment, the official decreed that the person responsible for suppressing the thieves was Gao Zhang, the Taiwei's beloved son.
After all the military officials of the Song Dynasty gathered here, people who knew each other were talking to each other, and they all wanted to find out what the inside information was.
And Liu Zhongwu was smiling and chatting quietly with a young and powerful military general in his early thirties next to him.
It's just that the other party seems a little dull, but facing this senior northwest general, the general is quite respectful and answers all questions.
However, Liu Zhongwu didn't mind this. On the contrary, he seemed quite friendly. After all, this military general in his early thirties was a rising star in the Song Dynasty's military in recent years.

"In my opinion, the Taiwei's promotion to court is most likely for the purpose of quelling the chaos in Jiangnan."
"But my official heard that the official's will was very clear. It was the imperial troops and state soldiers on Jiangnan East Road and Liangzhe Road who announced the governorship and envoy control."
Liu Zhongwu chuckled and whispered to Liu Fa, who had a serious expression.
"Brother, you are right, but if this is all, why does the Taiwei need to be promoted to court at this time?"
"Someone estimates that our captain, who is worried about the safety of his beloved son, may have asked for orders from the officials again."
"When the time comes, young and powerful generals like you, brother, haha..."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Fa couldn't help but feel a little excited. He raised his head and looked at the officials of the Song Dynasty's martial arts in the White Tiger Festival Hall, and couldn't help but look a little gloomy.
"The commander is joking. Although the general is brave, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside the hall. The military officials of the Song Dynasty who were whispering looked towards the door one after another.
Then they saw Taiwei Gao Qiu lift up his front and step in. All the military officials saluted the newly promoted Taiwei.
Taiwei Gao Qiu didn't talk nonsense. He glanced at the dozens of Sanya generals gathered here, and then his eyes stayed on Liu Fa for a while, and then slowly moved away.
Then, he took out the imperial edict sent by Yang Jian and read it in public in the Baihu Festival Hall.
The generals of the three yamen who originally had only a little expectation, all their eyes lit up, they stood up straight with their heads held high, and they all wanted to wave to Gao Qiu, come on, come on, choose me, choose me.
But just now, after Liu Fa heard what the old driver Liu Zhongwu said, he felt that since he had no background and no knowledge of interpersonal relationships, he definitely had no hope of being selected.
But now, Liu Fa couldn't help but look up at Taiwei Gao Qiu who was standing behind the public case.
The reason why he is where he is today is entirely due to his military exploits. Therefore, regardless of other things, Liu Fa considers himself to be as good as anyone present when it comes to military strategy and military exploits.
On the contrary, a veteran driver like Liu Zhongwu is not anxious at all. He knows very well that with his friendship with Gao Qiu and the previous friendship between his Erlang and Gao Zhang.
I'm afraid that in all likelihood, he, as a father, would have no chance, but Erlang would definitely be able to get on the fast track to promotion and wealth.
We are all warriors, I dare not say that we are all rough men and vulgar warriors, but we all know that if you want military success, you must have the courage to fight for it yourself.
Taiwei Gao Qiu had just put away the imperial edict, and all the generals who wanted to make great achievements were eager to come forward and recommend themselves.
At this moment, he saw Taiwei Gao Qiu clear his throat and directly make his request.
This time, the elite cavalry is rushing to the south of the Yangtze River at night. The soldiers are very fast. What is needed are young generals who can fight hard. Those who are older should not jump out and cause humiliation.
Listening to Lieutenant Gao Qiu's unhurried presentation of his request, the generals, who were a little bit nervous in their minds, all made an estimate.
If you feel that you still have hope, you will continue to hold your head high and your eyes shining.
The general felt that he had been excluded by the conditions, and his face turned dark. However, he knew where the White Tiger Festival Hall was, so at most he could only curse in his heart.
Liu Fa, who originally thought he was out of luck, suddenly heard his eyes light up, Ouch? How do you feel that these conditions are almost tailor-made for you?
Liu Zhongwu listened for a long time, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Liu Fa was breathing heavily and his eyes were shining.
Look at the officer Gao Qiu deliberately not looking in this direction. I don’t understand why. He just needs a favor to move the boat with the current.
While Captain Gao Qiu was drinking water to moisten his throat, Liu Zhongwu stepped out of the queue and bowed respectfully to Captain Gao.
"To the Commander-in-Chief, I would like to recommend a person to the Commander-in-Chief who can be the main general who will rush to the south of the Yangtze River."
Gao Qiu looked towards Liu Zhongwu, and when he saw the wink from the other party, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and then maintained his serious expression.
"I wonder who Commander Liu wants to recommend?"
Liu Zhongwu raised his hand without hesitation and pointed at Liu Fa, who was still standing in the queue with his head held high.
"The last general recommends Liu Fa, the envoy of the guest province (military general), who is worthy of this post."
Pairs of eyes all looked towards Liu Fa, making Liu Fa, who was not very understanding of human affairs, look a little creepy.
Fortunately, Liu Fa, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and fought life and death, saw the glances Liu Zhongwu was looking at him frequently.
After reacting, he stood up without hesitation and gave a deep salute to Taiwei Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu looked at the tall, burly, square-faced Liu Fa, and couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief on his face.
It is true that Liu Fa, the rising star of the Song Dynasty, happened to be the best candidate to help Jiangnan after he used the elimination method.
