Since the founding of the country by Taizu, the greatest wish of all dynasties of the Song Dynasty was to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and restore the territory of the Han people of the Tang Dynasty that once shone like stars in the sky.
However, despite the wisdom of the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty, this wish has never been realized.
It wasn't until ten months ago that the current Daojun Emperor signed an alliance with the Jin people, uniting the two countries' forces and raising a large army to destroy the Khitan Liao Kingdom and even capture all the Yelu royal family, there was finally a glimmer of hope.
According to the covenant signed between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom before the war, after the two countries destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the sixteen states of Yanyun should belong to the Song Dynasty.
Today, there was a lot of cheers in the court hall, thinking that the heyday was coming, and Emperor Daojun was the most holy and powerful emperor since the founding of the Song Dynasty. This was how he came to be.
Not only the court, but also the people are celebrating this.
But ordinary people don't know that Gao Qiu, who is above the Great Song Dynasty, closer to the core and holds military power, knows it.
At this moment, everything on the surface of the Song Dynasty is prosperous, but secretly there is actually a huge crisis hidden, and this crisis comes from the Song Dynasty's ally, the Kingdom of Jin.
In the battle with the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Liao Dynasty, although the two sides won a complete victory, the Jin Kingdom also saw the weakness of the Song army.
Others may not really know this, but Gao Qiu knows it better than anyone else.
Because the 100,000 Forbidden Army, which should be the most elite division of the Song Dynasty, is in his hands. He knows everything about daily inspections, training, and even the preparation of soldiers, horses and food.
If the Jin Kingdom really sends its troops south, will the Song Army be able to fight?
Gao Qiu shook his head without hesitation in his heart.
Of course, part of the reason for this has to do with him, the captain who holds one hundred thousand imperial troops.
But more of them were not his turn.
The weakness of the Song army did not start with him, Captain Gao. It had been like this throughout the ages. He was just doing what his predecessors had done.
Originally, Gao Qiu had never thought about these things, or there was a subconscious fear that prevented him from thinking about them.
However, Gao Kan said it in front of him, forcing him to think about it.
Zhao Song's official family is in charge of life and death in the world. What does Gao Qi do to him?
But if Zhao Song's official family is gone, where will he find the power, glory and wealth of Lieutenant Gao?
After thinking about it, Gao Qiu stared at Gao Kan: "What else are you thinking about?"
"The child thinks that Jin is greedy in nature and has hard-to-satisfy desires. He is also a barbarian tribe who likes hair and drinks blood. If he sends his troops south, he will burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil."
Gao Kan watched the expression on Gao Qiu's face keep changing, uncertain.
It was hard to tell for a moment what plan he had in mind, so he had to test it carefully first.
"When we reach Bianjing City, there will be panic and chaos in the city. In the chaos, if we want to protect ourselves, we can only rely on our own people."
"Okay, what else?" Gao Qiu narrowed his eyes again.
“Only with a group of good and capable hands by our side can we stay safe.”
When Gao Kan said this, he glanced at Gao Qiu again, and then continued: "Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, these two have great martial arts skills. If they can be used by children, they will have peace of mind."
"So you should change your mind and don't want to avenge Lin Chong for humiliating you, and don't want Mrs. Lin?" Gao Qiu asked again.
"Life is still important." Gao Kan said seriously.
"Haha, it seems that my son has really grown up. You have such foresight and foresight, and I am very happy as a father!"
Suddenly, Gao Qiu touched his hands and laughed heartily: "Okay, being a father will be as you wish. Whether it's Lin Chong or Yang Zhi, as long as you like it, I can take them all into the house."
"My dear, thank you father for helping me!"
After hearing Gao Qiu's words, Gao Kan finally felt relieved and quickly handed over his hands to thank him.
Gao Qiu patted him and said: "You and I, father and son, don't need to say this, but I'm afraid it's not enough for him and me. You have to go out more, recruit more talents, and see more of the world." .”
"My child, please remember your father's teachings." Gao Kan was overjoyed but said calmly.
In fact, since he conquered Lin Chong, he has been thinking about how to persuade Gao Qiu to let him leave Bianjing without Gao Qiu's suspicion.
In addition, use Captain Gao's authority to earn as many cheap benefits as possible.
Otherwise, in the Zhao and Song dynasties, it would be too difficult to accumulate enough strength and cultivate a strong enough team.
Don't think that everything is like what is written in novels. Modern people can crush the ancients into a mess by just relying on the vision and brains of later generations. The ancients are not as stupid as modern people think, and modern people are far less stupid than they think. How much smarter.
Under the control of an orthodox and well-established dynasty, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to achieve great success.
If there is even the slightest sign, no matter from the perspective of force or financial resources, powerful forces at the time that are almost crushing will immediately take action to suppress this sign.
Therefore, if you want to be famous in ancient times and live a good life, the first thing you need to do is embrace your thighs.
Although Captain Gao's thigh is not the thickest in the Zhao and Song dynasties, it is definitely one of the thickest.
The most important thing is that Captain Gao holds military power.
Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. This is an unbreakable truth since ancient times. It is a fact verified by countless blood and tears. In the feudal dynasty, if you want to hold the barrel of a gun yourself, it is basically the crime of annihilating the nine tribes.
Unless there is someone like Captain Gao who can sit in the most suitable position and memorize the book flawlessly.
As long as there is Gao Taiwei, no matter how big a battle Gao Kan creates outside or how many soldiers and horses he holds in his hands, he can reasonably push it to Zhao Song's army.
You can’t say that working for the emperor is wrong, right?
Gao Kan originally thought that to reach this point, it would take a lot of effort to bring Captain Gao into the pit.
Unexpectedly, before he could exert any force, Lieutenant Gao took the initiative and walked to the door.
With this golden signboard, Gao Kan is confident that he can form an extremely luxurious lineup of 108 Liangshan generals, and he will be able to outshine the leader of the Song Dynasty without any surprise.
Just at this moment, the old housekeeper's voice came from outside the hall.
"Sir, Teng Mansion Yin's carriage has arrived, right outside the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Gao Qiu immediately said: "Please come to the lobby, Tengfu Yin, I will come over right away."
"Until Master." The old housekeeper said, turned around and walked out.
Gao Qiu turned to Gao Kan and smiled again: "Let's go. For the sake of my son's ambition, let's go eat and drink with Teng Fuyin first and tell Yang Zhi what's going on."
"Children, listen to your father." Gao Kan stood up and saluted.
After passing the level of Tengfu Yin and fishing out Yang Zhi, the next step is to go find the flower monk and have a good chat.
