"I won a big victory, but now I'm in a lot of trouble. I don't know how to deal with it..."

Wu Haogu, who had just inspected the city defense, kicked off his stinky boots boredly and sat on the main hall of a luxurious mansion in Tongwan City, looking a little worried.

I don’t know how to do it, but now he has become a Grand Marshal of the Song Dynasty! The Western Shanghemen envoy, the governor of Haizhou, and the three direct capitals of Yuhou in front of the palace... What a great official position!

Of course, it is not the reason for worrying! At least there is no need to worry about being like this now. However, as a Grand Marshal of the Song Dynasty, commanding more than 30,000 elite senior generals, he fought another unprecedented victory, which is a bit worrying.

Of course, the generals of the Song Dynasty were not allowed to win battles. However, Wu Haogu was a little politically incorrect in the Battle of Wudinghe!

That's quite incorrect!

First of all, he violated the instructions of Song Huizong and continued to use the houses in Kaifeng Prefecture to seduce people.

Now the military command has counted the accurate decapitation data. From the beginning of entering Yinzhou to now, the Sanzhi Army has seized more than 13,000 heads of Western thieves! There are also more than 7,000 alive prisoners.

According to the standard of 5 heads (living prisoners) per house, a total of 4,000 houses in Kaifeng Mansion are needed... Fortunately, these heads are not all taken down by the house slaves who are qualified to take the house.

Otherwise, what Wu Haogu had to consider now was the issue of running away to avoid debts...

But 2,000 houses are still needed!

According to the current housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture, it is 6 million yuan!

Is Zhao Ji willing to take it out?

If he refuses, how should he end?

This is the first big trouble that Wu Haogu, who won a great victory, needs to solve.

The second trouble is the drastic change that occurred in the Sanzhi Imperial Army under the leadership of Wu Haogu!

Tong Guan and Gao Qiu are not blind. Will they not know the evolution of the Three Direct Imperial Guards?

That's right, it's evolution!

Under the leadership of Gao Qiu, the Sanzhi Imperial Army was an absolute feudal army. The knights in front of the temple were standard feudal soldiers. Like the Japanese samurai and Europa knights, they were all soldiers built on the land. Although the Fangnu mercenaries who fought for the house were not feudal, they were not the so-called modern army in later generations. They were also part of the feudal army.

However, when Wu Haogu led the Sanzhi Imperial Army, this feudal army took the ladder of "modernization" by chance.

The knight officers trained by the Military Academy and the Knights Academy are undoubtedly quite "modern", although the military knowledge they master is classical.

The "compulsory government soldiers" who served for five consecutive years are more modern. They are neither old-fashioned government soldiers who do not distinguish between soldiers and farmers, and delay each other's war and farming. They are not professional mercenaries who serve for a long time and regard joining the army as professional professionals. Instead, they are new-style soldiers who can break away from production and devote all their energy to the military in a few years.

After receiving the leadership and training of modern knight officers, the combat effectiveness of these volunteer soldiers is probably no longer lower than that of the Western Army. Their cost is far lower than that of the Western Army's archers...

In other words, the combination of volunteer soldiers and professional officers is the lowest cost and most guaranteed military system.

And this military system undoubtedly touched the cheese of the mercenaries!

At the same time, the knight officer or the future Jinshi will pose a huge threat to civil servant politics.

Because the knight officers and the right-list Jinshi can be both civil and military, they can not only lead the government troops to fight for the country, but also serve as civil servants to govern the local area, and even enter the court to serve as ministers.

In addition, most of the knight officers and the right-list Jinshi are likely to be classmates in Yuntai Academy, Biyong Academy and Knight Academy!

This means that they will be more united than the Jinshi on the left and will be more likely to form party groups...

If the country wants to rely on them to control the government soldiers and recruit all sides, then they will also use the power of the government soldiers to form cliques for personal gain. It won’t take long to overthrow the literati and civil servants who are not very useful on their necks.

So now the military innovation that happened in front of the palace not only moved the cheese of the mercenaries, but also threatened the honorary status of the literati and civil servants.

Once these two forces realize the danger, Wu Haogu and the Sanzhi Imperial Guard may become targeted by public criticism.

The third problem is, of course, that is, the master is very rich and he seriously threatens the throne of the official Zhao Ji...

At first glance, the Song Dynasty seemed to be a literati and a king who shared the world, but in fact it was a dictatorship and dictatorship. However, the monarchs were relatively gentle, covering up the truth that they monopolize their power.

The two previous troubles seemed very big, but as long as Zhao Ji supported him, there would be nothing wrong.

Therefore, Wu Haogu’s biggest risk comes from Zhao Ji… Once the favor is gone, then he, the richest man in the Song Dynasty, will be the fat meat that all parties covet.

Although he is already a little powerful now, his foundation is too shallow. The entire group has only a few years of history. How many people can they really follow him? How can they fight against the Song Dynasty, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

"You still have to be humble. Humility makes people progress. If a certain family wants to make progress, they have to be humble and humble..."

When the Arhat maid brought him foot wash water, Wu Haogu was frowning and talking to himself.

"Master, what is modesty?" The Arhat maid responded unintentionally.

Wu Haogu said: "Humility means that you have to give it to others even if you are your merits and fame..."

"That's a loss." The Luohan maid replied while washing Wu Haogu's feet.

Wu Haogu smiled: "It's a blessing to suffer losses! Now I'm afraid that some people will not take advantage of this!"

"Master, okay." The Luohan maid wiped Wu Haogu's feet dry, wrapped them in clean cloth socks, and then put on a pair of soft cloth boots.

Wu Haogu stood up, paced in the lobby, and after walking a few steps, he asked, "Have Bai Feifei arrived?"

The Luohan maid pouted, "After I settled down, the master doesn't want me and sister Ao, I just think about Sister Bai... It seems that I and Sister Ao are both blessed people."

"Haha," Wu Haogu smiled, "The Luohan maid will be too polite, okay, come and accompany you tonight. If Bai Feifei comes later, ask her to see me immediately!"

When Wu Haogu was talking to the Arhat Maid, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Wu Haogu turned his head and saw Oliga leading Zhao Zhongge and Murong Tu. Murong Tu looked dusty and looked very tired, his eyes were all black, and his feet were a little fluttering as he walked.

Wu Haogu pretended to be angry at Oliga and said, "Oliga, why don't you support some fifth brother?"

Murong Mu laughed and said, "Taiwei, a good man, you need a woman to help me when I walk?"

"Sit down and talk." Wu Haogu smiled, "Arhat maid, go and prepare some good wine and good dishes."

"Here!"

The Arhat maid responded and left.

Wu Haogu and Murong Gu, Zhao Zhongge sat down separately, while Oliga turned around and left, guarding outside the door.

Wu Haogu put away his mind and asked with a smile: "Fifth Brother, are you all back?"

"We're all back!" Murong Mu said, "I've chased him all the way to Yanzhou and got thousands of beheadings."

It is now the fifth day after the Battle of Tongwancheng. Murong Gu and Gao Qiu chased each other for three days with more than 2,000 armored cavalry, and only returned two days ago.

"Hao Shiyan is back too?"

"Master Gao's men are walking slowly, so they can't come back tomorrow."

"Oh." Wu Haogu nodded, "Fifth brother, I'll eat a little later, so I'll go to have a sleep. When I'm full, I'll go see the minister with me."

Murong Hu shook his head, "I won't eat anymore, I'm too sleepy, just have a nap in the Taiwei's mansion."

"It's okay," Wuhao Ancient Road, "I'm here, prepare my room and wait for Brother Wu to sleep."

He called two men and helped Murong Mu go. Then Wu Haogu smiled bitterly at Brother Zhao Zhong: "A thousand more beheadings..."

"Head of the People's Republic of China," Zhao Zhongge called Wu Haogu in Jiehe Market, "Are you worried that you will have too much credit?"

Wu Haogu nodded.

Brother Zhao Zhong and him are one. Although Brother Zhao Zhong has entered the family tree of Duke Zhao Wei, the Zhao family generals in Kaifeng Prefecture did not really accept him. He and Murong Wangyou have always been aliens in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty!

Moreover, Zhao Zhongge's interests in Jiehe Market are too great, and it is impossible for him to leave Wu Haogu's group.

In addition, Brother Zhao Zhong's original wife passed away the previous year and married a girl from the Ximen family. She is considered a brother-in-law with Wu Haogu.

With these relationships, Wu Haogu can now treat Brother Zhao Zhong as his real confidant.

"First of the People, what do you want to do?" Brother Zhao Zhong asked again.

"Press it to Gao Shiyan!" Wu Haogu paused,

"I'm afraid he doesn't want it..." Brother Zhao Zhong now knows the suffering of the generals of the Song Dynasty.

It is dangerous to have too much credit! Gao Qiu should also understand this truth, so it is very likely that like Wu Haogu, he would push the credit out.

"It's hard to say," Wu Haogu thought for a while, "When Bai Feifei comes, let her test it."

Bai Feifei is a socialite raised by Wu Hao Ancient Flowers and is also familiar with Gao Qiu, so he can be sent to test Gao Qiu's meaning.

"Gaoqi is easy to deal with," Zhao Zhongge frowned, "I think he has a great reputation and may not refuse this great merit. But Tong Guan..."

Tong Guan is an old fox!

How could Wu Haogu do things in the three straight lines of the imperial court?

"Tong Daofu... I have to trouble you and the fifth brother to talk about the title." Wu Haogu said carefully, "I also prepared a generous gift for him, but I don't know if he can impress him. He is a person without eggs, so it's useless to ask for so much money, right?"

Brother Zhao Zhong nodded and said, "The Tong Envoy is indeed not very greedy."

Of course, Tong Guan is greedy, but he is not too much, and he will not sell his conscience just because of money.

Brother Zhao Zhong paused, "But his fame and fortune is extremely strong, why don't the head of state give him the credit?"
