The young eunuch and the messenger also saw the official's first confidant, the eunuch.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed out of breath to report. A moment ago, Yang Jian, who was still frowning, was really overjoyed.
In the Chui Gong Hall, a group of important ministers were still worried about the various situations caused by the Jiangnan Rebellion.
Yang Jian's shouts came one after another from outside the hall.
"...Good news from Jiangnan, Suzhou has been recovered, and the red thieves have been defeated."
The official Zhao Ji, who was standing in front of the map with a frown one second, heard the shouts coming from outside the hall, and the next moment, he rushed to the door of the hall as fast as a rabbit.
I happened to see Yang Jian, who was sweating and full of joy, supporting the exhausted courier as he walked up the steps.
Official Zhao Ji couldn't wait to lift up his front and crossed the threshold. After taking the wooden box handed by the messenger, he opened it and saw the memorial on the top.
Everyone saw that after the official opened the memorial, his face, which had been gloomy for a while, suddenly cleared up like the clouds had cleared up and the sun appeared.
"Okay, okay, what a tall guy, hahahaha..."
Seeing the official laughing out loud like this, a group of ministers came forward to congratulate him.
Gao Qiu's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard that the official actually called his son Xiao Gao.
The official family was really overly excited. Even the title "Xiao Gao Aiqing" was just two words before they started laughing wildly.
"Come on, Gao Aiqing, come and read this victory report. This is your beloved son's handwriting and achievements."
Gao Qiu quickly stepped forward, received the good news, and began to read it out in a voice that was dry with excitement.
After hearing the good news, the expressions on the faces of the important officials of the imperial court were truly wonderful.
Now the main force to counter the rebellion is still halfway there, but over there, Gao Zhang is strategizing.
First, he found Fang La, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, recruited three thousand volunteers, destroyed Zhu's navy, and then headed towards Xiuzhou to contain Zhu's rebels in Xiuzhou.
Afterwards, he ordered Commander Li to march north and advance towards Suzhou, which put the Zhu family's rebels under heavy pressure.
In Changzhou, he summoned troops from three states, one government, one army and five places, totaling 3,000 state soldiers and more than 10,000 townships, to prepare for war.
When he learned that General Liu Fa led 3,000 imperial cavalry to rush for reinforcements at night, he decided to lure the enemy out of the city.
Cai Liulang wrote a very wonderful war report and sent it to Suzhou City.
This aroused the rebel leader Zhu Meng into a rage, and personally led the main force of 30,000 rebels to Wangting Town for a fierce battle.
Although Gao Zhang's soldiers and horses were less than half of the opponent's, they were the imperial army. After learning that the emperor had sent cavalry reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted.
The soldiers can be said to be one against ten, and Tong Zhi defeated this indomitable general and killed several enemy generals in a row, which greatly inspired the courage and fighting spirit of the soldiers.
Shengsheng used half of the enemy's troops to defeat the red thieves and captured over 10,000 enemies.
After that, Zhu Thieves intended to defend Suzhou, but Yang Duzhi of the Imperial City Division sent powerful agents from the Imperial City Division to spread various rumors in Suzhou.
This made everyone in Suzhou City panic, and Detective Si Gan of the Imperial City immediately spread the news. Seeing that the situation was about to collapse, Zhu Meng intended to make a last-ditch effort.
He decided to make a sneak attack on the officers and soldiers camp at night, but the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who had already received the news took advantage of the plan and caught Zhu Meng off guard.
With the help of the people of Suzhou who were unwilling to be enslaved by Zhu Meng, they broke through the gates of Suzhou City and recovered Suzhou, the base that Zhu and his sons had run for many years.
Gao Qiu's face glowed brightly after reading this good news.
As expected, Zhang'er did not deceive his father. This child was so great that he hadn't even arrived yet for the main force to counter the rebellion.
He had actually almost put down the Zhu family rebellion that shocked the entire Song Dynasty.
The official Zhao Ji on the side was stroking his short beard, his face was already red with excitement, and he looked even more excited than Gao Zhang's biological father.
This is his beloved disciple, his disciple. Xiao Gao wrote to himself before, asking him to believe in his abilities and abilities.
Sure enough, I believed him, and he did not disappoint me. The important thing was that I originally thought it would be a protracted counter-insurgency war.
Before the main force of the counter-rebellion had even reached the halfway point, Xiao Gao had actually captured the opponent's lair.
After hearing the good news, he saw that the civil and military ministers who were overjoyed congratulated him one after another, and there were also many congratulatory Gao Qiu who was smiling and radiant.
This made the official Zhao Ji want to announce on the spot that Xiao Gao was his disciple, and most of his skills were taught to him by me.
But when he thought about the urinary nature of these officials, Zhao Ji finally had to hold back his desire to vent his anger.
"Xiao Gao Aiqing, you really did not disappoint me. I was still worried before. Jiangnan is uncertain every day, and the Song Dynasty is restless."
"Now, all the old nests have been lost, and the day when the red thief will be crowned is not far away. Immediately hand this successful report to the Communications Department and record it in the Di Bao.
Posted in key places in Bianliang, Tokyo, I want the people to know that the traitors of the Zhu family ignore the emperor's favor and do not want to serve the country, but actually dare to rebel. In just a short period of time, the signs of defeat have already appeared..."
As the official Zhao Ji stood up outside Chui Gong Hall, he exhaled and spoke.
A group of ministers bowed their heads respectfully and listened to the instructions, but at this moment, these important officials in the imperial court had their own thoughts.
Even though Gao Zhang praised Tong Zhisheng in his letter, at this moment, Tong Guan's expression looked very ugly with his head hanging down.
He really didn't expect that Gao Zhang, that kid, actually knew military strategy, let alone that he would bring this rebellion to an end in such a short period of time.
These days, although the officials have not allowed themselves to preside over the suppression of the rebellion.
However, the officials still approached me and asked me to summon the generals to carefully calculate and deduce.
They all believed that one hundred thousand forbidden troops would be needed, and it would take at least half a year to put an end to the Zhu family's rebellion.
But now, that kid Gao Zhang slapped his old face directly with his little slap.
Just relying on those miscellaneous soldiers from Jiangnan, it was almost done in such a short time.
In comparison, wouldn't it make our family look very incompetent?
Although this good news made Tong Guan very unhappy, he was helpless. After all, Gao Zhang was still the beloved disciple of the official Zhao Ji, and his disciple.
Even if I wanted to poke fun at him secretly, I wouldn't know where to start.
But the only thing that made me happy was that the boy just happened to encounter this rebellion in Jiangnan. It was just luck that he was able to put down the rebellion so quickly.
The northwest frontier dominated the war of the Song Dynasty. No matter how stupid the officials were, they could not let a little kid try his luck to replace him...
