Zhao Tong sat in the lobby of the government department, gently turning the hair in his hand.

He was thinking about the war in western Anhui. The battle reports came in frequently in the past two days, and Luzhou was almost undefeated.

He thought about Wang Qing in western Anhui and thought about Shuibo Liangshan.

A few days ago, Dai Zong sent a letter. The letter said that Liangshan attacked Zhujiazhuang three times and got countless money, grain and rice. Finally, it said that Lin Chong, the leader of Liangshan's three leaders, married Hu Sanniang, the daughter of Hujiazhuang, and was at odds with Song Jiang.

Zhao Tong thought for a while, then stopped turning the pen in his hand, gently dropped it into his grasp, and placed it on the pen holder.

At this time, a soldier from outside came in to report that there were three people outside the government department who had come to report with certificates issued by the Privy Council and the two ministries.

Zhao Tong was waiting for these three people in the palace hall today. In the morning, news came that the generals of the Western Army that Emperor Daojun had previously transferred had entered Tokyo.

Emperor Daojun transferred a total of six people, all of whom were young generals, three from the Palace Division and three from the Guards and Military Division. They were all going to serve in the army and would not serve in the Palace Division.

The six people entered the capital and went to the Ministry of War, Staff and Privy Council to complete the handover formalities. They had to come directly. This was Emperor Daojun's order. As for how many people Emperor Daojun would see, he did not say in detail.

Zhao Tong felt the urgency of Emperor Daojun, who wanted to save face and quell the rebels, so he came up with such a move.

Not moving the Western Army, but only the Western Generals, was regarded as a kind call in the past.

The custom is that a small number of young heroes from the Western Army will be favored to serve as officials in the capital, such as Orihiko and Orihiko back then.

But now... these six people were obviously deceived. They were appointed as officials in the capital and went to the military camp to train troops and fight.

However, in Zhao Tong's opinion, at least Emperor Daojun still had some discernment in choosing the candidate for this matter.

Or to put it another way, among the young people in the Western Army at present, some are quite capable and can be called handsome. As for those who are more or less famous, there is no need to be too selective. Daojun, Emperor Zixiao, or Tong Guan recommends

, just pick it up.

Emperor Daojun, not to mention the internal affairs of the country, is really poor. In terms of military affairs, apart from the major mistakes made by the Maritime Alliance, he rarely made mistakes in the northwest military. However, a Maritime Alliance cannot be saved, and other

That’s all nonsense.

However, the failure of the alliance with Jin and Liao was actually due to unforeseen factors such as Fang La's rebellion. The Western Army suppressed the rebellion in five directions, and a small country war was fought. The Western army was exhausted, and there was a plague. Within a few months, under the pressure of the Jin Kingdom,

Later, I went to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Everyone had complaints and people did not want to win.

This is also the main reason why Zhao Tong wants to assassinate Wanyan Aguda, to delay the maritime alliance and avoid Fang La's rebellion.

As for Tong Guan, although he has many other shortcomings, he is greedy for merit, power and fame, but he also has a unique eye when it comes to looking at people.

Zhao Tong picked up a piece of paper on the table and said to the soldiers: "Let them come in."

When the soldiers went out, Zhao Tao looked at the names of the three people on the paper and couldn't help but smile when he saw the first one.

The second time he recalled it slightly, a sigh appeared on his face.

As for the third one, he laughed first and then shook his head.

It is recorded that Emperor Daojun summoned the young generals of the Western Army to Beijing at this time. Later, these people fought against Fang La, and some also participated in the battle between Song, Jin and Liao. However, he could not remember who they were in the Qing Dynasty.

The memory of the previous life is not as good as the photographic memory of this life. It was not until I saw the list later that I knew which ones they were.

After a while, three people walked in from outside.

The first person has a square face, handsome appearance, and a radiant look. Although he is wearing old leather armor, his figure is as straight as a javelin and his bearing is extremely extraordinary. He is about in his twenties.

The second person has an elegant temperament and handsome appearance. He looks like a scholar at first sight, with a warm spring breeze on his face. He is comparable to Liu Suiyun, even though he is about the same age as Liu Suiyun.

The third one is the youngest, but he is tall, has thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, long hands and feet, wears a black short coat, and has a rebellious look.

The three of them came in and saluted together.

After the ceremony, according to the rules, one has to report one's family status. The first upright young man bowed and said: "My subordinate Qin Fenglu and Liu Qi are here to see His Highness the King of Qi. He is late in taking office. Please don't blame me."

Zhao Tong looked at him and said with a smile on his face: "Not too late, Liu Qi, what's going on over there in Qin Fengjingyuan?"

Liu Qi said: "Back to my lord, Xixia was peaceful in the past two years, but after winter this year, things are getting ready to start. Now both sides are preparing for war and training troops."

Zhao Tong nodded. He didn't know these things. He thought that Emperor Daojun was unwilling to mobilize the Western Army to conquer Wang Qing. This was also the reason. He asked: "How are you doing with the old general and your court?"

The Liu family is also a general in the northwest, and Liu Qi's father is the famous general Liu Zhongwu.

Liu Qi's mother is the daughter of Su Shi's eldest son Su Mai. Speaking of which, Liu Qi is Su Dongpo's great-grandson.

Liu Zhongwu was also called back then, but his role as a capital official was rather special. Like Huang Jue, he was the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department. Those who were called to this position were all considered confidants of the emperor.

Later, Liu Zhongwu successively became the governor of Xihe. During the battles of Zhihezhou and Longyou, Liu Zhongwu led the troops to fight alone in the battles to recover Huangzhou and Xiningzhou.

Later, when he attacked Xixia, Liu Zhongwu was implicated in Gao Yongnian's defeat and was almost exiled to Lingnan. However, Emperor Daojun showed his favor to the Liu family and exempted him from the crime. Later, he learned about Xining Prefecture and served as the Chief Protector of Longyou Prefecture.

Weizhou.

Liu Zhongwu was a confidant of Lord Dao. He was one of the few generals of the Western Army who had been called to Beijing twice. The second time he was called was the Dragon Guard, and he commanded all four sides of the Divine Guard. This honor was actually great.<

/p>

When he comes back again, he will become the deputy commander of the Infantry Army Division in the two prefectures of Zhixi and Qin.

After the death of Liu Fa, the commander-in-chief of Xi, Liu Zhongwu took control of the capitals of Xi and Wei. When Zhao Tan went to Longyou, it was Liu Zhongwu who made peace with Xihe Road Manager.

This time Liu Qi came to Beijing, and the official position given by Emperor Daojun was to be the Commander of the Four Wings of the Dragon Guard.

Therefore, Zhao Tong knew that as a confidant, Liu Qi was personally appointed by Emperor Daojun.

This is why Liu Qi was the first to speak after entering the door, ahead of the elegant scholar.

Liu Qi then said hurriedly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My father's family is kind and peaceful. Before Qi came to Beijing, my father specifically asked Qi to ask the Prince for the sin of Xihe's neglect on behalf of my father."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Zhao Tong smiled. When he went to Longyou, except for meeting Liu Zhongwu once in Xizhou, Liu Zhongwu never visited him again, and he didn't even give him any gifts during the New Year.

But it’s okay not to meet. It’s really not good to meet.

He nodded: "Sit down and talk."

Liu Qi sat down, and Zhao Tao's eyes fell on the second person. This young man, who looked like an elegant scholar, greeted him again and said: "If you can save the state, please pay homage to the prince!"

The contemporary head of the Zhe family is Zhe Kexing, and Zhe Kexing has many children. A son with a good reputation can be raised by Zhe, be sought after by Zhe, and save by Zhe.

The Ke family of the Zhe family is considered the sixth generation in this dynasty, and it is the ninth generation if we include the generals and commanders in the previous dynasty.

Zhejia is the largest general in the northwest. In fact, northwest is a general concept. For example, from Longyou to Hedong, there are five military roads in between. That is very far, but they are all along the border. They are collectively called the Five Northwest Roads. If we count

It is adjacent to Yongxing Military Road, also known as Shaanxi Sixth Road. If you include Hedong Road, it is called Northwest Sixth Road.

The Zhe family is not only the largest general sect in the northwest, but also the largest general sect since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The generals of the Yang family in Linzhou have actually always been subordinates of the Zhe family.

The Zhejia family was prosperous, with many members, branches and branches, and a hereditary prefecture. This was unmatched by other generals. In the Song Dynasty, when the world was shared by scholar-bureaucrats, it can be imagined how difficult it was for generals to inherit a prefecture.

How strong is it.

The Zhe family that Zhe Yanzhi belongs to is not from Zhe Kexing's lineage.

Zhe Yanzhi's father, Zhe Keshi, is Zhe Kexing's cousin. He is the same generation as Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Kecun, but they are several decades apart in age. However, in the big family of this era,

, this is not rare, but very common.

A child is born at the age of sixteen, and another child at the age of fifty-six. Over several generations, there are even people who are a hundred years older than their peers.

Among all the generals of the Zhe family, the most powerful one is Zhe Yanzhi's father, Zhe Keshi. Among the generals of the Zhe family, he is the most dazzling and is known as the "genuine of true generals".

Zhe Keshi did not rely on the Zhe family, and all his military achievements were achieved with Xixia with swords and guns. He joined the army at the age of sixteen or seven, and he defeated every battle and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats.

The most talked about among the people is the war madman Xiao Liang who killed Xixia and fled across the mountains and ridges with her men. They even lost their shoes and had to take a trail.

Zhe Keshi finally went to Jingyuan Road to appease the envoy, but he has been dead for seven or eight years.

Zhao Tong looked at Zhe Kecun in front of him and said, "Sir, did you have any previous official positions?"

Zhe Kecun hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, my subordinate just moved to the fourth deputy general of Yanyan Road because of Hedong Road."

Zhao Tong said: "That is under Liu Yanqing. I heard that there is a man over there whose surname is Han, and he is called Han Powu?"

Zhe Kecun was slightly startled, and then said with a hint of shame: "I didn't expect that the prince would know about Han Shizhong. He was indeed a member of the army. He was always a scoundrel and unreasonable. He was called "Han Shizhong" only because he was brave in fighting.

Han Po Wu."

Zhao Tong looked at him, you two are actually quite scoundrels. Zhe Kecun participated in the battle to annihilate Fang La. It has always been said that Han Shizhong captured Fang La alive, but later generations once had an inscription on it, which said Zhe Kecun captured Fang La.

, but since they are the general and his subordinates, both of them are reasonable.

Zhao Tong asked again: "Your brother has taken over as the magistrate of Fuzhou?"

Zhe Kecun said: "Your Majesty, the eldest brother passed away and the second brother took over a few days ago."

Zhe Keqiu died of a serious illness, and his brother eventually came to the rescue. Zhe Keqiu took over Fuzhou.

Zhao Tong said: "Sit down and talk."

Zhe Kecun sat down and Zhao Tong looked at the third person. This person was the youngest and looked to be in his early twenties.

Zhao Tong did not smile this time, his face was more serious.

"Guanzhong Yao Pingzhong, meet the prince!"

Yao Pingzhong was a little confused at this moment. When Qi Wang saw the two guys in front of him smiling like flowers, why did he look at his own family so coldly? Although his family background is worse than those two guys, it doesn't seem to be much different.<

/p>

The Yao family in Guanzhong has been a general for generations and has always competed with the Zhong family. The disciples of the two families are eager to win, and each is unwilling to submit.
