Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Chen left Wugong County on the fifth day of April and headed west!

Kang An took hundreds of soldiers from the imperial camp and left with Zhao Chen!

But this time their whereabouts were unusually concealed. They were all dressed in the clothes of ordinary soldiers of the Forbidden Army, so they could not be known! The situation in Guanshan is now dangerous, and every move of Zhao Chen may affect the situation in Guanshan, so he still pretends to stay in Guanshan!

On April 15th, they came to Dasanguan!

On April 18th, they returned to Hanzhong! Even if they came back, they did not alarm ordinary people, only a few high-ranking officials in the court knew that Zhao Chen had returned!

After returning, Zhao Chen went to see Li Gang immediately! Li Gang was naturally very excited when he saw Zhao Chen's return!

The first thing the two discussed was the establishment of the staff headquarters. Zhao Chen explained the current staff headquarters that Guan Shan has established.

"In the future, there will be not only a staff headquarters, but also a staff headquarters in each army, and even a staff organization in each division!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, does this employ a lot of people?" Li Gang said.

"No! The staff headquarters requires thousands of people, and the staff of various armies and divisions require very few personnel! These staff organizations were originally established to make the command of the army more convenient. If there are too many personnel and the system is cumbersome, it might not be as good. Don't set it up!" Zhao Chen said.

"What your majesty said! It's just that the Privy Council is going to be revoked?" Li Gang said.

"That's it! This matter has to be handed over to the teacher!" Zhao Chen said.

"The veteran understands! There are also a lot of members of the Privy Council, and others are fine, but Qu Duan..." Li Gang thought.

"Qu Duan, I will personally persuade him! I have written to ask him to go to the staff headquarters, but he has never been there! This time I come back, in addition to handling Sichuan affairs, there is one more thing to persuade him!" Zhao Chen Tao.

Li Gang nodded, and then he was relieved! To be honest, Li Gang also knows that Qu Duan has extraordinary talents, and he is not willing to let Qu Duan stay in Hanzhong and waste his talent! He was relieved when he heard that Qu Duan had been placed!

"Sichuan, this is a very troublesome thing!" Zhao Chen said slowly, knocking on the table with his hand.

"Yes, the problem in Sichuan is really troublesome! In fact, the key lies in the hearts of the people!" Li Gang said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen said with some confusion.

"Since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, Sichuan has been insecure. This is the key issue!" Li Gang said.

"Why has the heart been unstable?" Zhao Chen said.

"At the beginning, the Emperor Taizu took the post Zhou and replaced it, but the land of Shu was still under the rule of Shu King Meng Chang! This Meng Chang was very kind to the people, so he was very prestigious in Shu! After Taizu's army entered the Shu land , Meng Chang surrendered, and after the death of Emperor Taizu, there were rumors outside that Meng Chang was poisoned by Emperor Taizong! And when the Taizu army entered the Shu area, they burned, killed, looted and did everything, just to transport the looted property. It took more than ten years! All of these made the people of the Shu area very dissatisfied with the court! When Emperor Taizong was in power, he was very strict with the Shu area and the taxes were so heavy that Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun rose up to rebel and later rebelled. Although it was calmed down, Emperor Taizong killed more than one hundred thousand rebels of Shu people! Later, although the emperors of the past dynasties have been pacifying the Shu people, the people of Shu rarely have the heart to ask the court!" Li Gangdao.

"That's it! It's no wonder that cults can stir up troubles and make trouble in Shu area!" Zhao Chen nodded and said.

"Yes! Cults can cause trouble, mainly because of the people's hearts! Sichuan's cult chaos is easy to eliminate, but the people's hearts are hard to appease!" Li Gang said.

"I will go to Sichuan in person to deal with this matter!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Sichuan in person?" Li Gang said in a daze.

"Yes! Sichuan matters a lot. Although I occupy the relevant places such as Shaanxi, Hanzhong, Sichuan, etc., the decree has been difficult to implement in Sichuan! Sichuan has almost become a country within a country, and this phenomenon cannot continue! If Sichuan has been In this way, not only is the cult causing chaos, but other unstable things will happen in the future! If I want to conquer the world and defeat King Kang and Jurchen, I must first solve the problem in Sichuan! So I decided to go to Sichuan myself!" Zhao Chen said.

"But, Your Majesty, will there be any danger?" Li Gang said.

"I am going to take my clothes. Few people know my identity, so what danger will happen?" Zhao Chen said.

"But..." Li Gang still has to persuade!

"The affairs of the imperial court are still left to the teacher! In addition, all military affairs will be handed over to the staff headquarters! I want to rush to Sichuan as soon as possible. Today I will solve the problem of Quduan first!" Zhao Chen refused to let him speak. , Stood up, said.

Li Gang knew that Zhao Chen was a strong man. Once he made a decision, it would be very difficult for him to change. At the moment Li Gang nodded and agreed!

"Thank you teacher! I hope the world can be peaceful as soon as possible, so that the teacher can take a good rest!" Seeing Li Gang's wrinkled and exhausted look, Zhao Chen sighed lightly and said.

"To serve the country, the veteran is willing to do his best and die!" Li Gang shook his head and smiled.

At the moment, Zhao Chen stopped talking, and took a few people towards the Privy Council!

The structure of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty was also extremely complicated, and there were thousands of officials here!

Zhao Chen went straight to the innermost part of the Privy Council!

In the innermost room, Qu Duan was sitting at the table reading a book!

He looked attentively, but Zhao Chen just came in, he immediately raised his head and looked over! He used to be a general in the Western Army second only to mentorship, and his martial arts is exceptionally brilliant! Even if Zhao Chen enters the Innate Realm, he is far from his opponent!

"Your Majesty!" After seeing Zhao Chen's face clearly, Qu Duan was taken aback and hurriedly knelt down and said.

He was shocked, and he didn't understand why Zhao Chen returned to Hanzhong at this time, but he didn't get any news! For a while, he felt a little nervous!

"General Qu flat out! What book are you reading?" Zhao Chen smiled.

"At the end I will be reading the military book by General Di Qing!" Qu Duan said.

"Oh, it turned out to be General Di Qing’s military book! General Di Qing is also a famous general of my great Song Hehe. In the course of his campaign in Xixia, he wore his head and wore a bronze mask in every battle. He rushed to the forefront alone. , Twenty-five battles in his life, not defeated! His style is reminiscent!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yeah! General Di Qing has been on the battlefield for decades. I don't know how many feats he has made. After a hundred years, he will still be famous! Maybe after a thousand years, some people still remember his name! I am far inferior to him!" Qu Duanchang He sighed long, said.

In history, Di Qing was a famous general in the Song Dynasty! Although Qu Duan is a famous figure in the Western Army in this era, he is still far behind Di Qing!

"Who said that General Qu is inferior to him? As the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times. Today is troubled times, the age of true heroes! I can guarantee that Yue Fei's name will surpass Di Qing in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is right!" Qu Duan sighed again and said.

At this juncture of the Jurchen invasion, the Han people are about to subdue their country and species, anyone who can stand up to resist the Golden Soldiers and build meritorious services will definitely have more reputation than Di Qing! After all, Di Qing was in a period of peace. Although Xixia threatened, it was far from being on par with Jurchen! Xixia was only raging in the northwest, while Jurchen occupied the Central Plains and was about to destroy the Han people! Yue Fei defeated Jurchen in two battles, and his name must be left in history!

"Why does General Qu look so sad?" Zhao Chen looked at Qu Duan and said with a smile.

"Nothing!" Qu Duan gently shook his head.

"General Qu, I asked you to serve as the head of the operations department of the staff headquarters, why are you unwilling to agree?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the general will be incompetent and incompetent, not enough to hold this post!" Qu Duan bowed his head.

"I don't think so! You are a well-known literary and military talent in the Western Army, everyone knows! You have repeatedly defeated the Xixia Army before, how can you say that you are incompetent and incompetent? I think you have complaints against me!" Zhao Chen sneered.

"Your Majesty, the general will never dare to have such an idea!" Qu Duan said.

"Man, dare to be deceived! You patted your conscience and said, do you really have no complaints against me?" Zhao Chen disdainfully said.

He also knew that Qu Duan was talented, but Zhao Chen looked down upon Qu Duan's character very much! Qu Duan's character determined that he could not do real big things. Qu Duan could only rely on the existence of the strong, and could become the sword in the hands of the strong! It has been two and a half years since he called Qu Duan from Jingyuan to Hanzhong. In the past two and a half years, Qu Duan's temperament must have been thoroughly tempered. At this time, it will be much simpler to use him again!

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Qu Duan was silent!

"Is it Wang Tu in the whole world? It is Wang Chen who is the shore of the land! This world is mine! Jingyuan Road is mine, and Jingyuan Army is also mine. You used to be the Jingyuan Road Administrator, able to control one hundred thousand. The army depends on the power given to you by my father! Is there any problem with regaining this power after I take office? I appoint you as a clerk to take charge of the country’s military and administration. Doesn’t this power surpass the original path? The original path is a little bit?" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, this privy envoy of the final general is just nameless!" Qu Duan smiled bitterly.

"Is there any name? I have established the Military Aircraft Department, and the Privy Council’s power is indeed much smaller! But I have only taken away the power to deal with emergency military affairs. If you really want to do something, with your position as a privy envoy, it is impossible to do nothing. Come out! But look at what you have done in the past two and a half years? You read and drink tea in the Privy Council every day, and you don't manage any affairs! Are you fair?" Zhao Chen said.

Qu Duan bowed his head and said nothing!

"Qu Duan, you are also a great man, are you really willing to watch yourself in the Privy Council for the elderly, and watch yourself pass the time without accomplishing anything?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty... I..." Qu Duan opened his mouth, and finally sighed long!

"In the future, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others will remain in the annals of history. They are national heroes. Even if Li Gang, Wang Shu and others assisted me in defeating Jurchen, they are also a generation of fame! But what about you? Since the Jurchen invasion, you have not done anything. Things that are beneficial to the country have been unknown. The history books only record that you once served as a clerk or clerk, and did nothing. Do you think this is good?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty... I..." Qu Duan showed a painful expression on his face, but in the end he still sighed!

"A good man, a martial arts, a talented stomach, you can't do anything. Not only do you feel aggrieved, but I feel aggrieved for you! Tomorrow, you will immediately go to Wugong County to take over the post of Director of the Operations Division of the Staff Headquarters! Hope you Don't let me down! In the future, major offensive strategies will come from the General Staff Headquarters. It can be said that the General Staff Headquarters is related to the overall strategy of the world! If you work hard, your reputation may not be as good as Yue Fei and Liu Qi in the future!

"I know it at the end!" Qu Duan gritted his teeth and said.

"Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe, Wang Shu are all your old men, they will cooperate with you!" Zhao Chen said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qu Weiwei nodded.

"I hope that in the future we can race on the battlefield together to eliminate Jurchen, Zhongxing Dasong! Qu Duan, I have high hopes for you!" Zhao Chen said.

There were expressions of shame, excitement, excitement, etc. on Qu Duan's face, and after a long time he nodded again.

On this day, Zhao Chen entertained Qu Duan in the palace, and the two talked for a long time! Zhao Chen consoled Qu Duan conscientiously. Only then did he discover that Qu Duan is actually very talkative, and his personality can be said to be "docile", so there is no need to worry about Qu Duan rebelling! Moreover, Qu Duan's talent is indeed very small. After reading the infantry exercises, Qu Duan made many suggestions of his own, which made Zhao Chen delighted and thought that he did not use the wrong person!
