Two days later, Bianjing, Weininghou Mansion.
"What did you say? Zhao Gou wants to leave Bianjing?" Looking at a chamberlain in front of him, Song Yang said in surprise. He was just about to teach Zhao Gou a lesson to stop interfering in border affairs, but the other party actually wanted to leave. .
"Yes, Lord Marquis, King Kang is planning to resign from the post of Commander of the Infantry Army, Inspector General, and Commander of the Infantry Army due to the recent frequent deployment of troops and generals in Western Xia, the blocking of roads by the Jin State, and the fact that the Western Army has not received Heaven's grace for a long time. Lead the army to Hexi and guard the border. Of course, the officials have not agreed yet, but His Royal Highness King Kang seems to be very determined."
Song Yang's face changed, and he frowned and said: "It's so good, why is Zhao Gou like this? Even if there is Wang Yuan's incident, it is impossible for me to push this wise king of the dynasty to such an extent. The Infantry Division Commander As an envoy, he is in charge of 30% of the imperial army in Bianjing. Although the official family has prosperous heirs, many highnesses are envious of him. Although his strength is still inferior to that of the prince and King Yun, he is still powerful to the throne. If the contender leaves at this time, wouldn't it mean that he has given up the fight for the throne?"
"Is it difficult for Zhao Gou to really have no ambition for the throne?"
When Wei Liang, who was sitting next to him, heard this, his eyes immediately said seriously: "Master Hou, you must not take it lightly. King Kang Zhao Gou has a reputation of being brave and decisive in the court. Except when he went to conquer the king, he experienced the first time in his life. After a disastrous defeat, he became a prisoner, and his whole life was regarded as an example for kings. If such a man said that he did not have the ambition to achieve great things, his subordinates would never believe it."
"If he didn't want to, he wouldn't have taken this official position at that time, and he wouldn't have carried out drastic reforms in the Forbidden Army."
"The other and most important thing is that he actually wants to go to Hexi. The most elite force in the Song Dynasty is the Western Army that has been guarding Xixia. The Western Army is brave and good at fighting. There are 100,000 elites. Whoever can get them can dominate the world. These 100,000 The Western Army is not comparable to the imperial capital’s imperial army.”
"Bianjing is now in front of our army of Qi State, but the king is really hesitant to move. Firstly, he has no reputation and is worried about being known as a traitor and a traitor, and will be dissatisfied by the scholars and common people in the world. Secondly, because of the Western Army, the Western Army The army is fierce and brave, and the fastest way to control the Western Army is to seize the power of the court and disperse them step by step."
"You mean he wants to meddle with the Western Army?" Song Yang's eyes instantly turned cold. He knew very well that the Western Army was what Song Jiang valued the most. Anyone who dared to touch the Western Army would be offending Song Jiang Nilin.
"I think it's very possible," Wei Liang said seriously, then turned to look at a guard and said, "Go to Commander Jiang right away and ask him to check immediately whether King Kang has recently recruited any new counselors or retainers. , such a desperate move by a strong man to cut off his wrist, only a person of great wisdom can come up with it."
"yes"
When the servant who came to report took the reward and left happily, Song Yang asked curiously: "What did you mean just now?"
Wei Liang smiled and said, "Master Hou, in fact, the imperial capital is already in a deadlock."
"Dead end?" Song Yang was stunned.
"Whether it is the Crown Prince or King Yun, even though they are performing well, they have already lost the opportunity. As soon as the official family collapses, the king will definitely take over the imperial capital with force. No one can stop this, especially if the king can If Nanjing is recaptured, then it is justifiable to change its name.”
"So in fact, if the kings want to develop, they have to give up everything in the imperial capital, escape the restrictions of the imperial capital, and seek life outside. There may be a chance, but it is too difficult. It requires great courage and great wisdom. King Kang once worked so hard He wanted to improve the situation of the Forbidden Army, but suddenly gave up everything. There was only one possibility, and that was that someone suggested to him that he should leave Bianjing as soon as possible!! "
"If this is really the case, this person must have the talent to understand the world, or, perhaps it is a guess, this person has a very clear view of the king's thoughts, otherwise ordinary counselors will never come up with such a strategy!! "
Song Yang's eyes narrowed, "If this is really the case, then you really need to be cautious."
"So the Marquis cannot let His Highness Prince Kang leave under any circumstances. As for this counselor, I would like to meet him for a while," Wei Liang said with a smile.
. . .
Two days later, in the Chui Gong Hall, looking at the expectant Zhao Gou, Zhao Ji shook his head slightly and said: "I have carefully considered the matter of going to Hexi, and you should not go."
"Father" Zhao Gou looked shocked.
"As soon as the news of your departure spread, there was a fierce fight in the court over the position of commander of the Infantry Division. Even Marquis Weining got involved," Zhao Ji said with some fear.
"Marquis Weining!!" Zhao Gou's expression changed.
"I am very pleased with your courage and dedication, Your Majesty, but at this time, Bianjing needs you even more to properly control the Infantry Division," Zhao Ji said warmly.
When Zhao Gou heard this, he cupped his fists and said, "Yes!!"
That afternoon, in Prince Kang's residence, a particularly ordinary-looking scholar in black looked at the helpless Zhao Gou and said softly: "In this case, there is no need for my subordinates to stay."
"Jia Yi" Zhao Gou frowned.
"I may have some research on marching and fighting, but when it comes to court battles and military innovation, it is really useless. I am just talking on paper after all." The man said with shame, then turned and left.
"Jia Yi." Just when Zhao Gou stood up to try to persuade him to stay, an official immediately stopped him and said: "Forget it, Your Highness, let him go! This Jia Yi's idea is indeed a bit too fantasy. His plan seems good, but In fact, it is difficult and dangerous. Once His Highness leaves the imperial capital, how can he have so much support, let alone 30% of the imperial army, I really do not recommend giving up!!"
When Zhao Gou heard this, he sighed immediately.
Soon, Jia Yi came outside. After hurriedly getting into a carriage, he said anxiously: "Hurry up and leave the imperial capital immediately."
"yes!!"
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is still another page^0^ In the car, a beautiful woman looked at the nervous Jia Yi and asked in confusion: "Your Highness won't let you go??"
"No, it was me who underestimated the State of Qi and the Marquis of Weining. I originally thought that King Kang would give up everything and leave on his own initiative, and they would be happy to see it happen. But I didn't expect that they would stop him. In other words, King Qi would have already Targeting the Western Army, this situation in Bianjing is completely dead, and the Song Dynasty is hopeless."
"This is so serious!!"
"Qi's power is beyond my imagination. It's better to leave as soon as possible to avoid any accidents!!"
"But, didn't you say that King Kang is the most likely to succeed among all the kings??"
"Yes, King Kang is wise, ambitious, and tolerant. Unfortunately, unfortunately, he does not have the courage to cut off a strong man's wrist. He is definitely no match for King Qi."
"Why??"
"Just like what happened this time, although he was persuaded by me, he actually still had a lot of hesitation in his heart. So when the officials refused, he gave up directly along the steps. But King Qi is different. Once King Qi decides Things, even if he died in battle, he would never take a step back. In the battle of Jinan Mansion, King Qi almost died, but he still stood on the top of the city. With such a large army mobilized by Qi State, it was obvious that there was a problem on the border, but the court People really don’t believe that the King of Qi will ignore the safety of the Qi State and march northward in a big way, but I am sure that the King of Qi will definitely go northward, and is even on the way. Such a person can be said to be a generation of heroes comparable to the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. It is impossible for the Song Dynasty to stand up again." Jia Yi sighed and said with some regret.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
