Tong Guan in this world is not as humble and courteous to Cai Jing as written in the outlaws of the marsh. As a Taifu, Tong Guan holds the power in Hebei, Hedong and Shaanxi. It can be said that Tong Guan''s position in the court is only under the Taishi Cai Jing and can compete with Cai Jing.
Of the six thieves, these two have the highest official position.
After years of military career, Tong Guan is not so easy to give up. Although he was forcibly demoted to wisdom when collecting Liangshan, he still asked for orders to levy Liangshan again after he came back.
But Cai Jing didn''t give him a chance. He commanded the courtiers to denounce Tong Guan''s mistakes in the war these years, which suppressed the possibility of Tong Guan taking command again.
According to the suggestions of the courtiers, song Huizong sent Gao Qiu as the leader to fight against Liangshan.
Gao Qiu was born a naughty boy. He was appreciated by song Huizong by playing football. Later, he exercised in the frontier for several years and was promoted by the emperor to be the Taiwei of the palace. It was precisely because he had the experience of joining the army in the frontier and "fought" with Xixia people that Cai Jing pushed Gao Qiu out to fight with Tong Guan.
But in fact, Gao Qiu is in the northwest. He really only has mixed qualifications. There have been a lot of arrogance, but there have been few serious battles.
Even so, Gao Qiu is full of confidence. He thinks that Liangshanpo is just a small bandit of zhuo''er. As long as he goes out, he can catch it.
He has a feud with Liangshan. Lin Chong, the leopard head who first went to Liangshan, was forced to go up the mountain by him.
Therefore, Gao Taiwei was very enthusiastic about destroying Liangshan and didn''t want Liangshan to succeed.
Gao Qiu thinks that his strength is no worse than Tong Guan. Tong Guan failed because he underestimated the enemy''s carelessness. The army and horses mobilized are only the soldiers around him who have not fought for many years, and there is no water army. Therefore, he was killed by Liangshan bandits.
After learning Tong Guan''s lesson, Gao Qiu specially summoned those generals with combat experience when ordering troops.
After choosing from place to place, Gao Qiu transferred ten Jiedu envoys to his command to help him capture Liangshan.
All the soldiers and horses under these ten Jiedu envoys have fought.
Wang Huan, governor of Henan Province and Hebei Province;
Xu Jing, Taiyuan governor of the Shangdang;
Wang Wende, Minister of Hongnong festival in North Beijing;
Yingzhou Runan Festival envoy plum exhibition;
Zhongshan Anping Festival envoy opens;
Jiang Xia Lingling Festival envoy Yang Wen;
Han Cunbao, festival envoy of Yunzhong gate;
Li Congji, festival envoy of Hanyang in western Gansu;
Langya Pengcheng Jiedu envoy Xiangyuan town;
Qinghe Tianshui Festival envoy Jing Zhong.
It sounds frightening. The top ten Festival envoys, placed in the Tang Dynasty, are enough to occupy half the world. However, in the Song Dynasty, Jiedu envoys had empty titles and did not have much power. These Jiedu envoys probably only took charge of the army and horses of one state or several counties.
The ten Jiedu envoys selected by Gao Taiwei calmly have another unique feature, that is, these ten are all thieves and bandits. They have fought with the imperial court and have strong strength. The imperial court can''t suppress them, so they change their mind to appease them.
The impression of the great Song Dynasty has always been that it was poor and weak, prosperous and weak, and the combat effectiveness of the army was poor. In fact, the Central Plains may be so. The northwest forbidden army was not weak in any dynasty. It was a powerful army that dared to fight bravely against the elite of Xixia, Tubo, Jin and other countries.
The great Song Dynasty changed its strategy, so the ten were recruited, became a Jiedu envoy, led their own troops and horses to work for the imperial court, and were given the title of Jiedu envoy.
Otherwise, the Song Dynasty would be mad to set up so many rulers. We should know that although the virtual duty is suck, this general rule is generally given to the prime minister, the Privy commander, the master and the leader of the righteous leader. If there are no powers in the great Song Dynasty, how can we win this honor?
Because he was born in the green forest, he knows more about Liangshan thieves from the same green forest, so it is easier to win.
This is Gao Taiwei''s wonderful theory.
Don''t think about it. If so, why does the imperial court keep so many troops?
This is the consequence of not knowing the army.
Gao Qiu feels that he is no worse than Tong Guan. In fact, he doesn''t mention his ability to lead the army. However, as far as his personal strength is concerned, Tong Guan has long been a state of law, and Gao Qiu is still just a state of supernatural power, just in the early stage of supernatural power.
You can''t be a Taiwei without the strength of shentongjing.
After all, a scholar at random has the strength of the divine realm.
With a strong army, there must also be warships, so Gao Qiu enlisted the water army of Jiankang mansion to control Liu Menglong, sent his confidants along the river to collect large and small ships to Jeju to obey orders, and took his brothers Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong, the commander of the mansion, who were not brave enough, with ten saving envoys and a million troops, to kill and rush to Liangshan berth.
……
If you didn''t improve the Taiwei''s battle against Liangshan, you were in Chang''an. That day, you received an imperial edict from the emperor and ordered him to return to Beijing to report on his work.
It has been eight years since I left Beijing as the No. 1 student in junior high school. During the eight years, Qiji never visited Bianjing again, but his relationship with the emperor was not alienated.
After all, flattering courtiers and loving art are just the emperor''s disguise. The real emperor coldly observes the world repeated over and over again and looks forward to destroying it one day.
He put this hope on the trick. Of course, he won''t alienate the trick. He mentioned it from time to time to let people know that he is paying attention to this person and that he trusts this person, so as not to be obstructed by too many people.
Even so, when he was promoted to Yongxing military road in less than 30 years, there were many people who tried to impeach in the court. However, the emperor trusted him and didn''t care at all, so it ended in nothing.
Because of this, Tong Guan did not dare to hide behind his back. For example, Tong Guan would never let a trick be done if he sent his troops to attack Xixia.
Otherwise, even if you succeed, you will hate the emperor. As a eunuch, he lost the trust of the emperor, and the result is self-evident.
……
"Brother, I haven''t seen you for many years, but how are you?" At the post station outside Bianjing City, I saw Zhu long who came to meet me.
Around Zhu long, there is a boy about ten years old, who is Zhu Kun, Zhu Long''s son and the big nephew of Qiji.
Zhu Kun dressed up as a student. Obviously, because of a trick, Zhu long let his son practice writing.
There is also Zhu Hu.
It was Zhu Biao who married the daughter of a veteran in the army and had no children.
As for the trick, in this world, it is still a single dog.
"Everything is fine."
Zhu long has gained a lot of weight and looks like a member. After several years in Beijing, he has managed communication for strange tricks, and he has become a lot smoother.
"Kun''er, this is the uncle you''ve been looking forward to meeting."
"Nephew, see your uncle." I wish Kun an excited salute.
This is the former champion. As a student, which scholar is not an example, let alone the champion.
"Get up and study hard. Don''t live up to your father''s expectations. Come to me if you have any doubts during my stay in Beijing." Quirky smiled.
Just about to invite Zhu long into the post station to inquire about the situation, suddenly a team of seven or eight cavalry galloped from a distance under the banner, dismounted in front of the post station and asked the people, "who is the strategic pacifier of Yongxing military road, Mr. Zhu?"
"I am. Who are you?" The trick stepped forward to sink the voice.
"If you return to the prime minister, the villain is under the Taifu''s door and seals the Taifu''s order. Please come to the prime minister''s house for a chat." The leader replied.
"My official ordered me to return to Beijing. I can enter the city without your Majesty''s permission?" Said the trick.
"Back to the prime minister, the Taifu has asked his majesty for orders. This is your Majesty''s order. The prime minister can enter the city at ease." The man said, took out a decree and handed it over, "by the way, the Taifu also said that the decree was recognized by the Taishi, so the prime minister doesn''t have to worry."
