Of course, Gao Yu will not carry this pot for Gao Yongnian! Fighting for merit is also the truth of officialdom! Besides, this pot is not high-ranking at all, why did he carry it down?

"Returning to the envoy, the corpses of the Wen people here have nothing to do with the army in front of the palace!" Gao Yu hurriedly defended in a loud voice, "At that time, Renduo Baozhong ordered the Wenbu people of Ancient Bone Dragon City to move to Renduoquan City first. Therefore, the Gaodu Tong of Xihe Road personally led 2,000 Han light horses to the east bank of the Haokang River to go around to the Wen people, and drove the people to Sai Renduo to protect the retreat of loyalty, so it caused casualties among the Wen people! And the palace army led by Xia Guan has been following Renduo to protect his loyalty, and he has been fighting hard with his palace army for many days before he wins! This matter can be witnessed by Daguan Tong, Zhang Zhizhou, and even the chief of Renduo! Please learn from each other! ”

As soon as Gao Yu's words came out, Wu Haowen also helped on the side: "It turns out that it was the Xihe Army who killed the good and risked the merits!" What do you think you should do about this? ”

Zhong Fu also feels bad now! The army in front of the palace is definitely going to pick a pick, so you have to rely on the Xihe army to fight. And Gao Yongnian is the commander of the Xihe Army, and he has been in the Xihe Army for many years, and both the Fan Army and the Han Army are even. Now that the pot of killing good and risking merit has been thrown on the heads of Gao Yongnian and the Xihe army, the morale of the Xihe army must not fall down? And Gao Yongnian didn't have the heart to fight, he had to be busy throwing the pot to protect himself, and he had to fight with Gao Yu who exposed him......

The palace army and the Xihe army have both picked their picks, who will fight with the Western Xia Right Wing Army of Brother Wei Mingcha?

No, we must keep Gao Yongnian!

"Nonsense!" Zhong Fu's face sank, "How could the Xihe Army kill good and take the risk?" These Tibetan people must have been killed by thieves from the west! ”

Gao Yu sighed: "Since these Tibetan people were all killed by the Western Thieves, they must have nothing to do with the army in front of the palace." ”

Zhong Fu snorted and said: "Does it have anything to do with the army in front of the palace, this official has his own conclusion after investigation, how can you be a military attache with too many mouths, and you are a military attaché, how can you be so domineering?" ”

It's a sin to be arrogant! Especially a "famous general" like Gao Yu who has beheaded so many enemies with elite soldiers, a domineering crime is going to kill people!

"The lower officials don't dare to ......" Gao Yu immediately retreated, he didn't dare to fight with Zhong Fu, at most he went back to Kaifeng Mansion and slandered the officials, oh, it's loyalty!

"How can the envoy conclude that the killing of good has nothing to do with the Xihe Army without verification?" Wu Haowen interjected again at this time, he is not afraid of Zhong Fu, he is the sixth Jinshi, a confidant of the official family, afraid that you are a civil official who has no background (no Jinshi)?

And he is the supervisor of Taoxi Fuji. He has a share in the great achievements made by Fu Si before, and he is rewarded for his meritorious deeds, although the courtiers can't be promoted, but the Beijing officials must be relatively large, and most of them can have a seventh grade! If you go back to Kaifeng Mansion, you will go to the Imperial Shitai, and when the time comes, you will be impeached and killed......

Zhong Fu was scolded by Wu Haowen like this, and he also knew bad things. He can't die to protect Gao Yongnian, because he remembered that Wu Haowen has the right to secretly enter the text! This kind of privilege is generally only available to relatives and internal officials, and Wu Haogu, a civil official, also has such a power...... This shows that he is the eyes and ears of the official family in the Xihe Army!

If Zhong Fu suppresses the matter of Xihe Army killing Liang, Wu Haowen will report a little, and a big black pot of protection and connivance will be pressed down!

"Wu Jiyi," Zhong Fu glanced at Wu Haowen, "You're right!" The official was abrupt...... Then it's up to you to find out what happened to the Xihe army. ”

A black pot was successfully shot and thrown to Wu Haowen! If Wu Haowen investigates too much, Gao Yongnian and the Xihe Army will make a fuss and ruin the major affairs of the official family, then he will be miserable.

But there are still a lot of black pots! First of all, the number of beheadings and prisoners of the army in front of the palace must be verified, and to say that it is verified, in fact, it is to discount the original number. Is Shangguan always wrong! This matter is also a pot for Shangguan! It can be used to suppress the lower officials, and at the same time, it has to bear the pot of passive sabotage at the grassroots level.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the other troops of the Song army to negotiate the price code first, and then go into battle after getting the reward. Before the start of the fight, it was the upper and lower officials who begged the big head soldiers, but after the fight, the big head soldiers begged the top officials and the lower officials.

The credibility that Zhao Ji had established among the knights and dragon warriors in front of the palace through the Imperial Martial Arts was completely defeated by Zhong Fu this time. It will not be easy to put these old soldiers on the battlefield again.

And from Zhang Shuye and Gao Yongnian, I learned about the performance of the knights in front of the palace and the dragon warriors in the previous bloody battles in Huangzhou, Shanzhou, and the Haoqian River. After learning about the situation of the Western Xia Right Wing Army from Renduo Baozhong.

Zhong Fu also felt a little prickly, he originally thought that although the knights in front of the palace and the dragon warriors were powerful, they could not be stronger than the elite of the Western Army. Kaifeng Army, this brand is down, who doesn't know in the northwest?

Unexpectedly, they were the absolute main force in the battles of Huangzhou, Shanzhou and the bloody battle of the Haoqian River. Except for the battle of Tongchuan Fort, they did not participate, and the rest of the major battles relied on them to charge into battle, and defeated all opponents miserably.

What made Zhong Fu feel even more upset was that in the plan formulated by Tong Guan, Zhang Shuye, and Renduo Baozhong to attack Renshou Mountain City and Qin Wangchuan, among the 11,000 troops dispatched, the palace army (including auxiliary soldiers) accounted for 7,000 people. If they don't move, wouldn't it be a head-off to rely on 4,000 Xihe troops?

Therefore, after taking over the command of the front, Zhong Fu immediately found that he had no way to carry out the plan of the surprise attack on Renshou Mountain City and Qin Wangchuan.

There are no soldiers to send!

The 7,000 Dianqian army (including auxiliaries) needs to be replaced with at least 14,000 elite soldiers of the Xining army. However, there were not so many Xining troops in front of the Haoqian River, so they had to return to Tongchuan Fort or Lanzhou first, and then discuss the matter of mobilizing troops with Wang Hou and Zhang Shuye.

And how much time does this process take? The army stationed in the field is not the same as the army fighting in the field, not just the army...... Just for the "lower officials" to talk about the conditions for a war with the big soldiers, I'm afraid it will take two or three days, right?

And is Uncle Zhang willing to cooperate at night? Wang Hou and Gao Yongnian are military attachés, and they have no choice but to be obedient. But Uncle Zhang is a civil official, and he is also Cai Xianggong's person, and the plan to use Qingtang City to recruit Renduo to protect his loyalty was proposed by him, and now it has succeeded! For this credit, Uncle Zhang has no problem transferring to two or three officials at night. Why risk going to war? If you can't win, won't you also lose the credit for the previous work?

"Envoy, it is not trivial to march into Zhuoluo City and Qin Wangchuan, without the will of the saint, I'm afraid that the border ministers can't call the shots on their own, right?"

Before returning to Tongchuan Fort, Uncle Zhang began to shirk his responsibilities halfway through.

"Yes," Tong Guan of the prison army Taoxi also said the same thing as Uncle Zhang, he said, "The elite in front of the palace have been fighting hard for days, and they are already tired divisions, and if they don't rest for more than a month, they may not be able to take on a big job." And the soldiers of Xihe and Jingyuan have not gathered. If you start a war rashly, you are afraid that the outcome will be unpredictable! ”

He's right! Just look at the 7,000 troops in front of the palace who are listlessly marching...... All of them are like defeated roosters, all wilted, and if they don't have a good rest, how can they go into battle?

And this group of big-headed soldiers are all scolding and complaining!

"Thieves like us with an army are cheap, fighting for life and death for many days, and all of them are in vain!"

"Don't fight, don't fight again, let's go back to Beicangzhou to farm!"

"Yes, I said that I would take turns to serve, but how many days have we Cangzhou knights not been home?"

"Two captains, we can't fight these dragon warriors, okay, let us stay alive and go back to Kaifeng Mansion......"

The soldiers walked slowly and said strange things. And Gao Yu, Wang Yu, and other officers of the army in front of the palace also did not squeak one by one, allowing the army's morale to waver, and their morale was low.

Seeing that the officers didn't care, the soldiers were even more bold, and the strange words became louder and louder, and they all reached Zhong Fu's ears.

Zhong Fu looked at Tong Guan with a gloomy face, "Tong Jian Jun, isn't there a military law in the army in front of the palace?" ”

Tong Guanpi didn't smile, "The army in front of the palace naturally can't be compared with the elite of the Western Army." And they have really fought hard these days, and they haven't gotten a penny or a foot of cloth from Xihe and Jingyuan Shuaisi. It's normal to complain a little now! And we are a eunuch in our family, although he has the position of supervising the army in Taoxi, but he is not good at managing too many things in front of the palace! ”

There was nothing wrong with the ball. First of all, the front army of the temple and the western army are not the same! The Western Army Tong Guan can really be managed, but the front army of the palace can only be named. Because if the army in front of the palace is really managed by Tong Guan, a eunuch, wouldn't it become the divine army of the Tang Dynasty?

The unspoken rule of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, the army in front of the palace is the territory of Kaifeng Jiangmen, and the eunuchs are not allowed to touch it. Tong Guan could command before, because Gao Yu and Wang Yu had too poor battlefield experience, and they had no bottom in their hearts, and they were willing to listen to Tong Guan's "suggestions".

So even if Zhong Fu goes to impeach, Tong Guan is not afraid at all!

And there is a reason why the morale of the army in front of the palace is low, that is, Xihe and Jingyuan Shuaisi did not give rewards!

Therefore, no matter where the lawsuit goes, Tong Guan will not lose.

Zhong Fu has already understood that this palace army can't be used by itself! Since they can't use it themselves, then they don't stay in the northwest.

He nodded and said, "What General Tong said is also ...... These thousands of sons and daughters in front of the palace have indeed fought hard, so it is better to let them go back to Kaifeng Mansion to rest. ”

It is not interesting at all to leave an army that cannot fight and complains all day long in Lanzhou. It's better to drive them away, anyway, there is no palace army, and the western army has been fighting for so many years.

In addition, how to count the number of beheadings and prisoners reported by these palace troops is also a headache. Gao Yu is soft, but the head of the Taoxi Shuai Division, Ji Yiwen and Wu Haowen, do not look like they are willing to accept softness.

Although Zhong Fu is a big official, he doesn't have any tricks to martial arts. Wu Haogu is a non-commissioned officer with a background. At most, Zhong Fu drove him away from Xining and Jingyuan, and then sued him.

Zhong Fu has already made up his mind, it is best to drive this palace army and Wu Haowen out of Xining and Jingyuan together, so as to save them from making trouble for themselves!
