Extra Story Chapter 20 Where is my 800,000-strong Imperial Army? Ask for a monthly ticket)

West of Kaifeng Prefecture City, Qionglin Garden.

The flag was waving, the soldiers were standing in full swing, and the heads were hanging high.

Thirty-three to four thousand Song soldiers, wearing Fan Yang hats, military uniforms, and armor, stood silently. Sixteen general square formations, one by one, formed a large hollow square formation. However, the front of the sixteen general square formations that formed this large hollow square formation is not outward, but inward.

In the center of the large hollow square array composed of these sixteen square arrays, there is a newly built wooden platform. On the platform, there are twenty or thirty spears inserted, and a head of an ugly looking person is inserted on the tip of each spear.

These heads are said to be the culprits in the trouble before Huayang Palace (Gen Yue) the day before yesterday! They were arrested by the royal city officials and then engaged in military law, and their heads were cut off!

Of course, in fact, these people were just unlucky people who trampled on each other outside the Huayang Palace. In addition, some death row prisoners locked in the Kaifeng Prefecture government offices all cut their heads to scare the soldiers of the imperial guards.

The scaring effect is of course good!

The Imperial Guards of the Three Yaya were already cowardly! They were so fussy before, because Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were even more cowardly. They were both cowardly in the late stage of their illness and were no longer saved.

Zhao Kai changed his soul, how could he eat their own tricks? So when he scared him, he obeyed the nearly 30,000 soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture. Among them, 5,000 were followed by Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing (the two of them had 7,000 people) to protect Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son, as well as a large number of princes, emperors and treacherous ministers, and went out of Kaifeng Prefecture to run to Yingtian Prefecture in shame.

The remaining 20,000 people, including Zhao Kai's personal officer from the Imperial City Office, the troops in front of the palace, the cabinet and the gate officer, the three thousand cavalrymen pulled over from the Shengjie Army, and the five thousand Qin soldiers (infantry troops) collected by Tong Guan from Liu Yanqing, a total of 33,400 people were collected, and now they are "exhibited" in Qionglinyuan.

Just as the 33,400 people were staring at the heads of the high platform, Zhao Kai, with a large group of civil and military officials, rode high-headed horses, passing by one square array. Every time he passed through a square array, the officers and soldiers who formed the square array would open their throats and shout long live, which still looked a little morale.

Zhao Kai nodded with satisfaction, and then stopped the war horse in front of a square formation of three yamen soldiers.

A young knight who looked a little similar to Huang Wuji stepped forward and arrived next to Zhao Kai.

This man's name is Huang Wubing, who is Huang Wuji's brother and an old minister of Qiandi. After Huang Wuji was promoted to the throne, he took over Huang Wuji's rank, and now he is Zhao Kai's personal commander.

Zhao Kai whispered: "Xuan Gao Yanei and Commander Fan."

"Here!" Huang Wubing responded, then pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and rushed to the rear of the team of civil and military officials behind Zhao Kai. After a while, he led two fat and thin people to Zhao Kai.

Among them, the thin man is a young man, Gao Yaoqing, the Sanlang of Gao Qiu's family, and he is also an old acquaintance with Zhao Kai because Gao Qiu is a supporter of Zhao Huan, and of course Gao Yaoqing is Zhao Huan's person.

If Gao Yaoqing stayed at home honestly, Zhao Kai would not have thought of him. Now he would probably run away with Gao Qiu and his two brothers.

But he participated in the Fuque Book of the third student. Although he did not act like a leader, he was still arrested and was soon betrayed by Cao Li, and Gao Qiu did not come forward to rescue him. Zhao Kai was not polite and gave him a test-taking task and learned about the matter of Lanzao County!

This Xinzao County is located in the northwest of Kaifeng Prefecture City and is quite close to the south bank of the Yellow River. If the Jin thieves cross the river and go south, then Xinzao County may be lingering!

The fat man was already a little old, in his forties or fifties, and was covered in fat, and was shaking when he rode over. The short horse under his crotch was so pitiful that he couldn't run even if he carried him, so he could only walk quickly.

This fat man's surname is Fan and his name is Datong. He is a commander under the First Army of the left wing of the Divine Guard among the four armies of the imperial guards, but his army is gone.

Because just after the Taishang Palace left yesterday, Zhao Kai dismissed all the commanders of the three imperial guards on the excuse of causing trouble by causing trouble.

Subsequently, the three yamen army they belonged to, Tong Guan, the 3,000 victories of the Jie Army, Zhao Kai's own personal joining army, and the 5,000 Qin army handed over by Liu Yanqing, and reorganized sixteen generals and one personally followed the command (cavalry). Among them, three cavalry generals and thirteen infantry generals, and actually one personally followed the command of the cavalry.

And all the seventeen generals and commanders were promoted from their personal officials, military officers from the Pavilion Division and the Shengjie Army officers from Xiangke's troops.

In other words, all the commanders of the three yamen soldiers have been removed from their posts.

In addition, the three yamen's military commands have actually become short sellers, because the newly-made sixteen generals' commands have all been handed over to the camp to control the camp.

However, Zhao Kai did not intend to let go of those "laid-off commanders" and their crimes were very serious!

For example, Fan Datong, who was led to Zhao Kai, should have 800 elite soldiers under his command. But yesterday, there were only 405 people, so I was so happy to eat the vacancy. This does not mean that Fan Datong only ate 395 vacancy, but that there were only 405 soldiers who could pull out to "exhibition"!

This is not the most excessive. The most excessive is that there is a subordinate who originally belonged to him in the heads inserted at the tip of the gun.

OK, this is a mountain of ironclad evidence!

He "definitely" participated in the incident before Huayang Palace (Gen Yue), and maybe he was still a "master plotter"!

As for whether Zhao Kai wants to pursue his crimes and whether he wants to send him to the Censorate to be punished, it depends on his performance.

"My minister Gao Yaoqing and Fan Datong, please see Your Majesty."

Both unlucky guys knew that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to contradict Zhao Kai because of this, so they had to turn over and dismount and salute respectfully.

"Flat."

Zhao Kai waved his hand, and the two of them stood up straight, lowered their heads with their hands down and their shoulders, looking pitiful as if they were ready to be criticized and fought.

"Fan Datong," Zhao Kai turned his head and said to Fatty Fan, "Do you want to lose your merits?"

"Think!" Fan Datong quickly answered.

Zhao Kai nodded, "I will give you a chance to be the first military envoy of the left wing of the God Guard!"

Fatty Fan was stunned. The First Army of the Divine Guard Left Fang? What does the official family mean? Where is the First Army of the Divine Guard Left Fang?

Zhao Kai pointed to a square formation in front of him and said seriously: "Fan Datong, most of your old subordinates are in this square formation, right? I am now named. You will select 50 heroes from them. As the generals of the First Army of the left wing of the God Guard, you will take them with Gao Yaoqing to serve as the sour jujube!"

What? Fan Datong was stunned.

There are only 50 people? There are only 50 people under the Divine Guard Army, one of the four armies in the imperial guards. There are only 50 people under the Divine Guard Army. The installation and organization should have 10,000 troops in the first army on the left wing of the Divine Guard! You only give 50 people, and the 9,950 minus the minus is too cruel, right?

Zhao Kai glanced at Fan Datong, who was stunned again, grinned and said, "Fan Datong, I will give you all the flags of the First Army of the Divine Guard left wing hidden in the third yamen to bring you the sour jujube, and will also allocate a batch of weapons from the military weapon surveillance for you and Gao Yaoqing.

In this way, you can bluff the banner of the First Army of the God Guard Left Fang on the one hand, and on the other hand, you can also organize the Minzhuang in the Lingzao County into the First Army of the God Guard Left Fang. If the Jin thieves are frightened by you, then the First Army of the God Guard Left Fang on the Left Fang on the God Guard will be established?"

Fan Datong was not willing to take this call, but when he thought of his "sin" and was afraid of death, he agreed, and it would not be possible not to agree, and he would almost hit him to death. Gao Yaoqing, who was next to him, was brave and could also give up. He immediately said to Fan Datong: "Commander Fan, you and my family can still raise 150 children, plus 50 here, there can be 200 in total, and they will sacrifice some property, not afraid that they will not sell their lives. Sour jujube is a big county, and there are always thousands of people in the county. As long as we can make a big fuss and defend strictly, it is still possible to survive for a few months!"

He only said half of what he said, and half of it was that they did not need to withstand the fierce attack of the Golden Thieves. As long as they performed enough, they could make the Golden Thieves retreat and fight elsewhere to look at the weaker castle!

Zhao Kai nodded repeatedly and smiled, "It's still Gao Yanei who knows what I think I want to show all the banners of the 20 armies under the Fourth Army this time! Each county in Kaifeng Prefecture has an army, and the remaining five armies are placed in Huazhou and Zhengzhou. I want the Jin thieves to think that our 800,000 imperial guards in the Song Dynasty are now near Kaifeng Prefecture!"

Zhao Kai's trick is a skill in the "Three Kingdoms", and it has been upgraded to the level of "20 times empty city plan", which is 19 times stronger than the empty city plan that Zhuge Liang sang after losing the Jieting!

As he spoke, he waved to Gao Yaoqing and Fan Datong again, "You two go and select the people. Don't go anywhere after you choose the good ones. Just stay in Qionglinyuan. Someone will give you flags and military weapons. Early tomorrow morning, a team of cavalry will escort you to the post of Sour Zao!"

It sounds really nice to say "escort", but it is actually an escort!

According to Zhao Kai's arrangement, 15 armies must be "organized" today, and 1,500 cavalry will be escorted separately early tomorrow morning to "advance" the 15 capital counties in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Later, Zhao Kai would send "5 armies" to Huazhou and Zhengzhou, so as to soon appear in the capital of the Song Dynasty, with as many as 20 armies of military numbers, and as many as 200,000 "book soldiers".

Zhao Kai himself will lead at least 10,000 infantry and cavalry tomorrow, leave Kaifeng Prefecture, attack the banners of the army in front of the hall and the army in the northwest, and go to Sanshan Floating Bridge to meet with Liang Fangping's 7,000 cavalrymen. After the convergence, he will bluff around the Sanshan Floating Bridge and set up a banner. At least 300,000 to 400,000 troops will be pretended to be 100,000,000 now, so the 800,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty must be pretended to be even!
