At the beginning, Zhao Junchen arranged for Wei Song to pretend to surrender to the Mongol coalition army, but to a large extent, he just made a casual move, mainly to mislead the judgment of the Mongol coalition army.

But with the smooth development of the war situation, Zhao Junchen's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, originally he just wanted to hit the Mongolian coalition army hard, but gradually turned into wanting to annihilate the Mongolian coalition army in one go, and now he is even more ambitious to send troops to recover the Hetao Plain!

As a result, Wei Song's idle chess was given a more important task by Zhao Junchen - that is, to take the opportunity to sow discord and promote the hostility of the Mongolian right wing towards the Dzungar Khanate!

But Zhao Junchen didn't expect that Wei Song had overfulfilled the task, not only successfully separating the Mongolian coalition forces, but also contributing to the rebellion of the Mongolian right wing and Zhuchagatai!

The situation of the war has developed to this point, the Ming army was originally fighting at home, with the advantage of troops, waiting for work, and already has a great advantage, if there is another defection blow from the Mongolian right wing and Zhuchagatai, the Mongolian coalition army will no longer have any chance of winning.

Compared with the extremely tragic battle of Xiaochuanhe, the next decisive battle of Weishui may be much easier.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Zhao Junchen was naturally pleasantly surprised, and his original dignified mood was a little lighter.

However, in addition to the surprise, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but think of more things.

After waving his hand to let the civil and military officials leave the tent, Zhao Junchen gently tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, his expression was thoughtful, and there was a faint hint of gloom in his eyes.

The inferior nature of human beings is like this, they are always habitually killing each other and fighting in the same room, and only when they encounter a strong foreign enemy can they abandon their previous suspicions and unite as one, but if the foreign enemy disappears, human beings will shift their attention to internal friction, and once again kill each other and fight in the same room.

In short, human beings will always subconsciously look for enemies, whether they are "external enemies" or "internal enemies", and even take the initiative to create an enemy for themselves.

Some philosophers of later generations often said that human beings have self-destructive tendencies, and this is about what they mean.

With such an inferior nature, Zhao Junchen is also unavoidable.

After seeing that the threat of the Mongol coalition army had greatly decreased, Zhao Junchen quickly thought of Qi Bin's jealousy and hostility towards him again.

Zhao Junchen admired Qi Bin's talent and temperament, and always wanted to buy Qi Bin for his own use, but since Qi Bin discovered that Zhao Junchen had been secretly infiltrating Qi Bin's new army, he discovered Zhao Junchen's ambition to meddle in the army, and since then he has been full of hostility towards Zhao Junchen.

In this regard, Zhao Junchen was also helpless, so he had to secretly suppress Qi Bin, and never let Qi Bin's new army participate in the war, so as to prevent Qi Bin's rise from being irrepressible after getting too many military achievements, in that case, his threat to Zhao Junchen would be even greater.

Originally, Zhao Junchen had been dragging on Qi Bin's matter and not dealing with it, on the one hand, because the threat of the Mongolian coalition army was too great, Zhao Junchen thought that Qi Bin's new army was still useful, and on the other hand, it was also because Zhao Junchen hoped that Qi Bin could change his position and change his mind during this period.

But now that the threat of the Mongol coalition has been greatly reduced, Zhao Junchen no longer regards Qi Bin's new army as his biggest backhand to turn the tide of the war, and Qi Bin's hostile attitude towards Zhao Junchen has not changed, so Zhao Junchen thinks that this matter cannot continue to drag on!

According to Zhao Junchen's plan, after this decisive battle is over, Zhao Junchen will find the group of "horse bandits" who kidnapped Liang Fuchen, and this group of "horse bandits" will naturally be exterminated by Zhao Junchen without leaving a living mouth, and then Liang Fuchen will also regain his freedom, and he will preside over the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu as a plenipotentiary envoy, and become the highest official on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, even Zhao Junchen will be controlled by Liang Fuchen.

If Qi Bin's matter is delayed and still cannot be resolved at that time, Qi Bin must tell Liang Fuchen about Zhao Junchen's secret meddling in the army, Liang Fuchen has always been loyal to Emperor Deqing, and after receiving the news, he will not only be as wary and hostile to Zhao Junchen as Qi Bin, but also will definitely stab the matter to Emperor Deqing, and at that time, Zhao Junchen may be about to usher in a catastrophe.

After all, when Zhao Junchen was still in the capital, he was already secretly infiltrating Qi Bin's new army, this kind of thing is completely different from the nature of Zhao Junchen's control of the border army when he was presiding over the military administration of Shaanxi and Gansu, it can be said that it completely exposed Zhao Junchen's ambitions, enough to give Zhao Junchen a big hat of "intent to rebel", and even if Zhao Junchen has great achievements, he will not escape death.

Although Zhao Junchen now has some capital to rebel against Emperor Deqing, the odds of victory are still too low.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen must completely solve Qi Bin's hidden danger before Liang Fuchen gets out of trouble!

In this way, after Zhao Junchen pondered for a long time, he finally made a decision in his heart.

Then, Zhao Junchen raised his voice and ordered: "Come, summon Niu Fude, and let him come to see me as soon as possible." ”

With Zhao Junchen's order, about a stick of incense later, Niu Fude had already hurried to the tent.

During this period of time, Niu Fude, as Zhao Junchen's confidant staff, has always been low-key, whether it is formulating battle plans, or the management of logistics grain and grass, or the rewards and punishments of soldiers, Niu Fude no longer participates, as if he is a transparent person.

But in fact, Niu Fude has not been idle during this time, since Zhao Junchen taught Niu Fude the work content and working methods of the "political commissar" of the army in later generations, Niu Fude has been in charge of the ideological dynamics of the army - in short, it is to use various means to brainwash the low-level soldiers!

Organizing low-level soldiers to complain to each other, teaching all kinds of military songs to the soldiers, and inviting storytellers to tell the stories of famous generals of the previous dynasty are seemingly insignificant little things, but they have greatly changed the mentality of the soldiers.

Of course, the most important thing is that Niu Fude will use every opportunity to spread the benefits of Zhao Junchen to the soldiers, and subtly change Zhao Junchen's status in the hearts of the soldiers.

It can be said that Zhao Junchen's army has been able to maintain morale and fighting spirit during this period of time, and Niu Fude is definitely indispensable! If it weren't for Niu Fude's long-term foreshadowing and secret promotion, Zhao Junchen wouldn't have been able to easily buy the military's heart for his own use a few days ago!

At the same time, because Niu Fude completed the task excellently and won more trust from Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen no longer hid many things from him, and some confidential matters could also be handed over to Niu Fude to handle.

After seeing Niu Fude enter the tent, Zhao Junchen did not detour, and said directly: "Mr. Niu, I want you to rush to the north bank of Weishui next, meet Qi Bin on my behalf, and probe his tone again, I want to know if his hostility and fear towards me have been alleviated!" Now that I have won several battles in a row, and I am about to exterminate the Mongol coalition army, maybe Qi Bin's attitude has changed......

If he is no longer as hostile to me as he was before, you will use all means to win him over to my advantage...... As long as he is willing to abandon Liang Fuchen and take refuge in me, you can agree to all conditions! As long as I can do it, whether it is money, women, status, you can promise him! …… Qi Bin is a rare talent, and it is worth paying some price! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Niu Fude was stunned at first, but quickly guessed Zhao Junchen's mind at this time, but asked, "Student understand...... However, as far as the students know, after you led the army to the south bank of Weishui, Qi Bin is now stationed on the north bank of Weishui, and the two armies are just separated by a Weishui, but they have never taken the initiative to come to meet the adults, I am afraid that their minds have not changed......"

Speaking of this, Niu Fude secretly raised his eyes to observe the change in Zhao Junchen's expression, and asked, "The student dares to ask, if Qi Bin is still hostile to adults, what should he do?" ”

After hearing Niu Fude's inquiry, Zhao Junchen was silent and did not answer, but the sound of his fingers hitting the table was slightly heavier, and a trace of gloom flashed between his expressions again.

Seeing Zhao Junchen's appearance, Niu Fude seemed to have understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts, bowed down and said: "If the student understands, he will definitely handle this matter properly, and he will definitely leave no end in his hand." ”

After speaking, Niu Fude turned around and left directly.

Looking at Niu Fude's departing back, Zhao Junchen suddenly sighed heavily and muttered: "Zhao Shancai and Qi Bin, these two people are both rare talents, if they are willing to be used by me, many things will become very simple...... But why...... This kind of talent always makes me so embarrassed...... Am I still unpopular no matter how much I change......"

……

PS: In the previous chapter, it seems that Zhao Junchen was described as too "Guangweizheng", but Zhao Junchen's essence is still an egoist, but there is still a trace of conscience. The content of this chapter was originally intended to be written after the decisive battle, but after thinking about it carefully, the worm decided to write it before the decisive battle to balance it out with the dark side of Zhao Junchen. The protagonist of this book is a corrupt official, but it's just a perspective, and the bug doesn't want everyone to have the idea that "a corrupt official is a good official if he can do practical things".
