Yaochi Palace.

"This matter is obviously a ghost."

Wang Yue said while touching his beard.

At this time, Xiao Puxian, or His Highness of the Great Song Dynasty, had returned to this palace. After all, Yanshan City is still very hot in this season.

This Yaochi Temple is used to escape the summer heat.

"Do you suspect they want to dig the tiger away from the mountain and take advantage of your trip to Kaifeng to capture the Changsheng Army first?"

Xiao Puxian, dressed in mourning clothes, lying on the short couch and said.

“It should be.

The court is not stupid. I guess they know what we have done here these days, not to mention that Li Chuwen and others may not be able to inform me. Although Taishi Tong will definitely not doubt me, he is not the Zhao family, nor those civil officials. The civil officials will not tolerate any military general and truly control the local government. Although our plays are very real, we cannot reassure them. Wang Anzhong will definitely seize the military power after he comes.

Then I'm a little in the way here.

I have too strong control over the ever-winning army, which is not conducive to Wang Anzhong's control of military power.

The best way for them is to get me away, then divide the ever-winning army, and give Zhen Wuchen and the other three to lead an army to restrain each other.

This will ensure that everyone will listen to Wang Anzhong.”

Wang Yue said.

This is the real purpose of summoning him to Beijing.

After all, the great painter and the civil servants under him are extremely sensitive in controlling the strength of military generals. Military power must be controlled by civil servants to be at ease.

What's more, it is an army with obvious and powerful strength like the Changsheng Army.

Such an army should not be in the hands of a military general, but must be divided into several armies, and then the highest command is controlled in the hands of civil servants. The latter sow discord between the generals of these armies through the food and wages they hold, so that these generals will always be in conflict and unable to form a group.

This way they will feel at ease.

Originally, they treated Guo Yaoshi in history.

There are many reasons why Guo Yaoshi surrendered to the Jurchens. In addition to his Lu Bu nature, there is also the stimulation of Wang Anzhong's killing of Zhang Rong. In addition, Wang Anzhong has always been constantly supporting Zhang Linghui and others, gradually splitting the ever-winning army from within to weaken his power. Since they can deal with Guo Yaoshi like this, of course, they can also deal with Wang Yue like this. After all, an elite legion of 15,000 people has reached a level worthy of their attention for civil officials.

"You are really troublesome in the Southern Dynasty!"

Xiao Tabuyan said speechlessly.

Of course, she didn't know that they had come to this day through intrigue.

In the later period, the continuous expansion of these civil officials in the Liao Dynasty was also the reason for the decline of the Liao Kingdom. The only difference was that their literati had a slightly stronger combat power than those in the Song Dynasty.

"Then what should we do?"

Xiao Puxian said.

Now, she is already dedicated to Wang Yue in terms of interests and feelings.

"It's very simple. You must go there. Just take this opportunity to see how many 25 boys there are in the Changsheng Army. After I leave, you send someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Gan and tell him that we will give him a batch of urgently needed food, but he has to come out and take it out himself. If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Anzhong will come to buy Zhen Wuchen and the other three after I leave. Then Xiao Gan will definitely let them fight when he comes out of the mountain. As long as Xiao Gan defeats them, it's enough."

Wang Yue said.

This trick of playing the gang must be used well.

Xiao Gan is short of food now. Although he plundered a lot along the way before retreating to the sacred mountain, he still cannot change the fact that his place is poor.

The sacred mountain is Pingquan.

Of course his place was poor.

This is very simple. Inviting him to invade, Wang Anzhong will definitely let Zhen Wuchen and others go to the scene. These people will definitely not be able to beat Xiao Gan. There is no suspense, because in history, Zhang Linghui and Zhen Wuchen were beaten by Xiao Gan. Then Yanshan Mansion was in a hurry and Hebei was in a hurry. Finally, at the strong request of His Highness the King of Yan, and also in the secret cooperation of Taishi Tong...

Master Tong affirmed that he trusted Wang Yue.

Wang Anzhong is a member of Liang Shicheng and Cai You. Although he is also flattering Taishi Tong, it is only inevitable. Among these internal factions, he still belongs to Liang Shicheng and Cai You's group.

These favorite eunuchs of the great painters each have their own groups. Tong Guan and Wang Fu are the same group, and Cai You and Liang Shicheng are the same group. They formed an alliance against Cai Jing, but after Cai Jing stepped down, they began to fight each other again. In history, Cai You and others quickly used Li Bangyan to deal with Wang Fu, causing Tong Guan to lose his main allies and his strength to be sharply reduced in the court.

Then Tong Guan must have helped Wang Yue.

Tong Guan didn't care whether the Changsheng Army was in the hands of civil officials or military generals. He only cared about whether the Changsheng Army was his own confidant.

Wang Anzhong is not.

But Wang Yue is.

So the King's Defense Envoy came back and led the ever-winning army to defeat Xiao Gan in one fell swoop.

But it is impossible to destroy the latter, and the latter will hide in the nest of the sacred mountain again, but because it cannot attack in the deep mountains and forests, it will not take long for him to make a comeback.

This king's defense force really cannot leave Yanshan Mansion!

Not only that, in order to ensure that Xiao Gan did not go deeper, the court also had to satisfy the food and salary of the ever-winning army, and to give Wang Yue whatever he wanted, and to continuously increase his titles.

This is how the Song Dynasty version of Li Chengliang was born.

If you don’t be Qi Jiguang, if you want to be Li Chengliang.

Xiao Gan would do this business, and he had no loss. Moreover, Wang Yue knew very well that he would rather die than surrender to Juzhen. As long as his group always entrenched in the sacred mountain, there was no need to worry about Zunhua. The current defensive system is the Song army's defense, Zhang Rong guarded Yu Pass, and the Yan King guarded Gubeikou and Juyong Pass. But Wang Yue really dared not expect the Song army to defend Zunhua. On the contrary, Xiao Gan could ensure it outside.

As for giving him some food...

It’s not that no one pays the bill, but it’s the great painter who pays it!

This line of defense in the mountainous area is very important. Not only Xiao Gan needs to support it, but Han Qingmin in the north also needs to support it. These people are not lacking in combat power. All they lack is food. Xiao Gan was finally defeated by Guo Yaoshi and was unable to get enough food to cause internal disintegration. He was killed by his subordinates, and then his subordinates surrendered to the Jurchens. After they surrendered, the Jurchens could directly threaten Zhang Yan. Soon Han Qingmin was also destroyed. Zhang Yan, who had completely lost the barrier, could not support it alone despite the victory of the Battle of Tu'er Mountain.

After the destruction of these three groups, the Jurchens no longer had any constraints. They took the matter of Zhang Yan and raised the butcher knife to the Song Dynasty.

Before Song Jin broke up, these three groups must exist.

Here he supported Xiao Gan in this way, and then supported Han Qingmin through sea. Although the latter was still loyal to Tianzuo, he would definitely not refuse the support here. As long as the grain was transported to Jinzhou by sea, Han Qingmin could persist in Chaya Mountain.

If they are not destroyed, it will be difficult for the Jurchens to truly start a war against the Song Dynasty.

Originally, the great painters and his confidants in history actually understood this. They took risks to accept Zhang Rong despite their fear of the Jurchens, hoping that this restraint would exist. Unfortunately, they had this mind but did not mean they had this ability. In the end, Wang Anzhong handed over Zhang Rong's head and sat down to watch the Jurchens break through Pingzhou.

But what I wailed was still the Jurchen army.

"Ta Buyan, go and prepare and take a walk to Xiao Gan. You will tell him clearly that although the path we chose is different, we still have to cut off the family in the end. We still have to take care of each other in the future. We want the Zhao family to continue to pay for money and support him. He also needs money and food in the mountains to support the tribe. This is the best of both worlds."

Xiao Puxian said.

Her niece nodded and looked at Wang Yue.

"You stay here first, I still have something to do in the south."

Xiao Puxian said.

Her niece thought they had to discuss what happened after going to Kaifeng, so she left without saying anything. Wang Yue stood there and listened. After her footsteps were gone, she smiled at her aunt. The latter, who was still wearing mourning clothes, seemed to be like a hungry tiger pounced on him and fell down...
