Chapter 51 Received the secret decree to recover the Chuzhou prefecture city (for collection)

Just when Xiao Qi was in full swing of the drill, Zhang Qian came to Xinghua City with a team of forbidden troops to proclaim the decree.

This time the emperor Zhao Shen was very generous, not only agreed to all the official positions of Xiao Qi to invite meritorious officers and men, but also allowed Xiao Qi to recruit soldiers and horses, and gave 10 taels of treasury silver to cover Xiao Qi's expenses for building various weapons and equipment.

This time Xiao Qi had five generals of the seventh rank, five generals of the seventh rank, and 36 generals of the eighth rank all the way to the ninth rank.

There are more than 560 school lieutenants without rank below, and the official positions awarded this time accounted for almost one-fifth of all the military officers in the entire Southern Song Dynasty!

In other words, as long as Xiao Qi leads these men to develop for a period of time, he will be able to control one-fifth of the Southern Song Dynasty's military power!

This award was unprecedented in the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Qi could guess with his toes that the emperor Zhao Shen probably exhausted all means in the court to make this decree issued.

Leading a kind of sergeant to accept the entrustment of the emperor together in the Martial Arts Field, Xiao Qi ordered these excited 1 or nearly [-] subordinates to disperse, and invited Zhang Qian to his residence.

After entering the room without outsiders, Xiao Qi bowed deeply to Zhang Qian:

"Thank you, my lord, this time there is no lack of verbal swords in the court, for this award, my lord must have suffered a lot of grievances.

Presumably the officials also suffered a lot of sulking, Xiao was ashamed. "

Zhang Qian was shocked at first, then suddenly said:

"It is said that General Xiao is as good at predicting things as a god, if it wasn't for Zhang and the officials who went to your village to meet you.

The old man thought that you were above the court and had your own eyes and ears! "

Then Zhang Qian ordered someone to go out and close the door, and took out another thing wrapped in yellow satin from his arms.

After opening it, he said to Xiao Qi: "The matter of going out of Beijing to award the reward this time is just a cover-up. There is a secret decree from the Holy Majesty. General Xiao doesn't need to kneel down to accept it, just accept the decree."

Next, Xiao Qi and Zhang Qian began to discuss the secret decree.

This secret decree is to ask Xiao Qi to find an opportunity to take back the capital city of Chuzhou as soon as possible, because many ministers in the DPRK and China have jointly requested to negotiate peace with Jin Guo.

Zhao Shen is very troubled now, he is the main battle, but the front line always loses, which makes the old ministers who are in charge of peace seize the opportunity.

Those people colluded together in private and wrote letters one after another, saying that it was a waste of money for the people, and that the soldiers were incompetent and always lost in battles, so they should negotiate a peace as soon as possible.

Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "What kind of incompetent soldiers, the military power is held by those old things, they command blindly.

If they lose a battle, they will be incompetent soldiers, if they win a battle, they will be wise and powerful, and the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed by these villains! "

Zhang Qian hurriedly said: "General Xiao, you can't talk nonsense about this, I will pretend that I didn't hear anything today, so stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing Zhang Qian's nervous look, Xiao Qi couldn't help shaking his head, if people around the emperor like Zhang Qian are nervous, I really don't know how far these people have controlled the government.

Xiao Qi brought tea to Zhang Qian: "My lord, take a sip of tea first, and then listen to Xiao slowly analyze it for you, and then you will understand that Xiao is not talking nonsense."

After Zhang Qian took a few sips of tea, he almost calmed down.

Xiao Qi told him about the reasons why Longxing's Northern Expedition failed. He first said that the Song Army defeated several cities along the way.

All the way to victory, after recruiting general Li Xianzhong to capture Suzhou, reinforcements from the Jin army arrived, and a part of General Li Xianzhong was in a bitter fight with the Jin army.

However, Shao Hongyuan, the deputy envoy, not only refused to support, but disturbed the morale of the army in the rear, causing the Song army to collapse without a fight.

Although General Li Xianzhong led his men to fight fiercely, he was defeated due to being outnumbered.

Shao Hongyuan bears such a heavy responsibility, why is he only demoted to Doctor Wu Yi?

What is even more suspicious is that although his official position has been demoted, his position has not been affected at all.

In the end Xiao Qi cupped his hands to Zhang Qian: "My lord, this Shao Hongyuan is not alone, there are a lot of people behind him!

Moreover, no matter how narrow-minded a normal general is, facing the situation at that time, as long as he leads troops up, the Jin army will be defeated.

Because General Li Xianzhong only led his part, it was able to withstand the attack of the Jin army.

As long as Shao Hongyuan took his part to attack, the Jin army would be defeated, but why did Shao Hongyuan spread rumors to disturb the morale of the army?

Sir, don't think that Xiao is young and ignorant, what he said is lies, someone in the court is collaborating with the enemy! "

Zhang Qian was so shocked that he knocked over the teacup in his hand: "General Xiao made such a statement! This is not nonsense!"

Xiao Qi sat up straight and looked at Zhang Qian and said very firmly: "My lord, don't panic, you just need to go back and see what happened when I attacked Chuzhou, and see if it is as I said."

Then Xiao Qi told Zhang Qian his guess, and wrote down all the possible situations that he thought of, and then gave it to him to take back to Zhao Shen.

In fact, it is very simple. Xiao Qi guessed that the emperor Zhao Shen gave him a secret order to seize Chuzhou, and those in the court must have found out.

Someone even secretly passed the news to the Jinren.

Xiao Qi guessed that when he led people to attack Chuzhou, a golden soldier from Chuzhou would sneak past and plan to steal his back.

Moreover, those garrisons in Jiankang Mansion will definitely let the Jin army from Chuzhou eastward to support Chuzhou ignore them, and let them copy their own way.

Zhang Qian's mouth was so shocked by Xiao Qi's statement that he almost suffered a stroke!

"Where did General Xiao say that, why did he say that!"

"My lord can tell the officials about Xiao's conjecture when he returns to the capital. If it is true, Xiao will ask the elder and the officials to agree to Xiao. If he meets Shao Hongyuan in the future and Xiao takes his head, I hope you don't blame me!"

Zhang Qian left early the next morning with a head full of mud, and Xiao Qi's words were still echoing in his ears as he sat in his sedan chair:

"I implore my lord to take Xiao to tell the officials that Xiao only wants to fight for the Song Dynasty in this life, and a high official and rich salary is not what Xiao wants.

The young general just doesn't want me, Da Song, no matter the royal family or the common people, to stop the tragedy of Princess Yanqing again! "

Zhang Qian was still in shock when he heard Xiao Qi's words yesterday.

The matter of Princess Yanqing was a taboo in the entire Song Dynasty, and no one dared to speak about this tragedy in recent years.

Today's official Zhao Shen is the adoptive son of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou is the younger brother of Song Qinzong, who was once named King Kang.

Princess Yanqing (initially named Princess Yanqing, renamed Kangfu. After seeking to change her name to Emperor Ji, and then named Maode) is the younger sister of Song Qinzong, the daughter of Song Taizu, and the aunt of the current emperor Zhao Shen.

This Princess Yanqing can be said to be the most miserable princess in Chinese history, because Wanyan Zongbi of the Kingdom of Jin heard that Princess Yanqing of the Kingdom of Song was beautiful, so he threatened the Emperor of Song to ask for Princess Yanqing.

At that time in the Northern Song Dynasty, she was weak and had been attacked by the Jin soldiers. She had no choice but to give the married Princess Yanqing to Wanyan Zongbi. (It is said that Princess Yanqing was made drunk and mixed with the singers given to the golden people.)

This Princess Yanqing was used as a plaything in the Kingdom of Jin. After Wanyan Zongbi died, she fell into the hands of Wanyan Xiyin. In the end, she was tortured and died due to the rupture of the valley road (I don’t need to explain this, this princess is really pitiful.)

This matter has always been a pain in the heart of the old Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, and few people dare to mention it.

Zhang Qian thought that Xiao Qi actually planned to let him bring this sentence to Zhao Shen, he couldn't help shivering while sitting in the sedan chair.

I said in my heart that this young general, I don't know if he is really a fool or pretending to be a fool, so why don't you say it yourself or not!

After sending Zhang Qian away, Xiao Qi immediately summoned all the officers above battalion officer level, and told them that the infantry would prepare siege equipment and prepare to recover Chuzhou City.

These generals screamed excitedly, because there is meat to eat with the boss!

They have long thought about fighting, and only fighting can make military achievements, although they all know that now they will no longer have the previous rewards for reaching the sky in one step.

After all, the previous reward was unprecedented, and thinking about such a good thing can only be done in a dream.

But they knew that fighting with Xiao Qi would always win, and every time they cleaned the battlefield, those golden soldiers were all very rich!

Don't think about rewards or anything, they just want to kill more gold soldiers, and take out all the gold and silver on their bodies and put them in their arms.

There is no doubt that these old bastards are about to be taught by Xiao Qi to become bandits.

They only know that the military regulations do not allow robbing the people of the Song Dynasty, otherwise they will be killed!

As for those golden men, you can grab them as you like, as long as you don't forget to share with those comrades who were seriously injured or killed in battle, the rest are all your own.
