"Why did your Majesty reinstate the King of Qi?" Han Shizhong asked.

"Whether the King of Qi is reinstated or not is closely related to the defeat of the Jin Army. Someone in the court has long wanted to restore the King of Qi." Geng said, "Han Shuai, don't forget, we have long been regarded as the King of Qi by others. This faction is especially led by Qin Hui. The King of Qi lost his crown because of him. He dreams of eradicating the King of Qi. The way to eradicate the King of Qi is to eradicate us first!"

Han Shizhong remained silent.

"In the past, there have been many rumors in the capital that Han Shuai supported his own troops in Liaodong. I am afraid it was all caused by Qin Hui. He wanted to put you to death."

"But I am not dead now." Han Shizhong said, "Your Majesty trusts me."

"Your Majesty trusts us, but Your Majesty also has a hundred years to come!" Geng Zhu then said, "The position of Crown Prince has been empty for a long time, and many people in the court are talking about it. Qin Hui must have a back-up plan. If a prince other than King Qi is established as the prince, Crown Prince, Qin Hui, who is close to the water and tower, gets the moon first, and has gained connections, the King of Qi will definitely die!"

"King Qi is His Majesty's eldest son. Even if he cannot become the crown prince, he will not be killed. You are worrying too much."

Geng Zhu was a little anxious. Han Shizhong was good at fighting, but he was really not good at politics.

"The royal family's fight for the throne has always been life-and-death. We are now on good terms with King Qi. In the future, King Qi will not be able to return to the throne, and Qin Hui will take the advantage. The news in the capital is not that Han Shuai, you are self-respecting in Liaodong, but that you have troops in Liaodong. …”

"But what?"

"rebel!"

Han Shizhong slapped the table angrily, causing several cracks on the table: "That's nonsense! How could I rebel?"

"Han Shuai cannot support his troops and respect himself. We are all loyal to His Majesty and the Song Dynasty. For the Liaodong Front, how many of us have died! Each of them has children and parents, and they were once our soldiers! Han Shuai I have worked hard in Liaodong for these years, but there are still so many people in Tokyo saying that Han Shuai respects his troops! The pen is in their hands, but they can write whatever they want!"

"Your Majesty won't believe it!"

"Your Majesty won't believe it. Don't the princes in the court also believe it?" Geng sighed and said, "Han Shuai, people's words are terrible. When Qin Hui gains power, Han Shuai, your family will spit in the street in Tokyo. , what should we do if Qin Hui falsely accuses him of insulting the emperor and takes the opportunity to censor him and fabricates perjury?"

Han Shizhong remained silent because he did not like political struggles.

But at this time, he also realized the powerlessness of people in the whirlpool.

The most painful thing in political struggles is that everyone is in an unsolvable environment called a "chain of suspicion."

That is, if you don’t want to fight, but you have a high position and may threaten others, you will be eliminated by others.

This has nothing to do with whether you are willing or not, smart or not, or whether the situation is big or small. This is the basic norm of ancient political struggles.

It is precisely those with big plans who suffer.

How can we say that Cao Shuang is the most failed case in political struggle?

Because he is too naive.

Han Shizhong did not reply. He said: "Now is not the time to discuss this issue. After taking a rest, we will set off immediately."

"yes."

Geng Zhu did not continue talking, and after leaving the camp, he went to find King Qi.

Supporting the King of Qi was not only in Han Shizhong's personal interests, but also the unanimous wish of the Liaodong generals.

Just like Li Shimin wanted to launch the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, it was not just that he wanted to be the emperor, but that the people in the Qin Palace were impatient and were not willing to just be ministers of the Qin Palace.

"Your Highness..." Geng Zuo shook his head.

"Han Shuai is a man who understands justice, how could he agree to do such a thing?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if Han Shuai disagrees. I will convince Zhang Qing and Hu Yantong. It's normal for our sons to be tired after a long march, and it's normal for them to need rest."

"Aren't you afraid that Han Shuai will blame you when he finds out?"

Geng Zhu said seriously: "Han Shuai has shown kindness to me. The ambitious people in the court always want to get rid of Han Shuai. Everything I do is for Han Shuai. In order to repay Han Shuai, I will do whatever I can to get rid of Han Shuai." He is willing to sacrifice his own head."

Zhao Chen understood that the smartest person around Han Shizhong was Geng Zhu.

This man is not only proficient in marching and fighting, he is also first-rate in political struggle.

Not everyone is Yue Fei. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The reason why Yue Fei is remembered by later generations is not only because he resisted the Jin Dynasty, but also because he cared about his family, country and the world, and was upright and selfless.

People praise selflessness precisely because there are very few selfless people.

Even people like Han Shizhong have their own shortcomings.

Before Han Shizhong joined the army, he was nicknamed "Rogue Han Wu" and was a well-known local rogue.

Afterwards, he achieved military exploits and gained more and more official positions, but he still had one bad habit that he never changed: drinking and having sex.

To what extent did Han Shizhong become promiscuous after drinking?

When drinking, he likes to let other people's wives and concubines persuade him to drink.

In official history, Huyantong was like this, and was forced to commit suicide by jumping into a river.

After all, this is a time of war, and the court needs Han Shizhong. Those in the government and the public who want to impeach Han Shizhong have been suppressed.

After the battle is over, many people may want to climb up the ladder following Han Shizhong.

After all, Han Shizhong has so many resources. If he wants to mess with you, he just needs to make up a reason.

Zhao Chen now wants to understand the power structure of the government and the public, and Geng Zhu knows it very well.

On the fourth day of July, Han Shizhong was only thirty miles away from Anzi Temple.

"Han Shuai, our scouts have detected the whereabouts of the Jin Army here." Gengzhu said, pointing to the location on the map, which is a hilly area 30 miles east of Anzi Temple. "Li Chengbu is here. Seventy miles east, he must already know our whereabouts."

Han Shizhong said: "Where is Wanyan Bali Subu?"

"The whereabouts of the Jin Army discovered here are likely to be Wanyanjia Lisu's vanguard troops."

"How many people came?"

"I don't know yet." Geng said calmly, "But I am a little worried."

"Um?"

"Yang Zaixing should have arrived near here by now." Geng Zhu pointed at the map, which was the hilly land thirty miles east of Anzi Temple. "Li Cheng must have discovered his whereabouts. If Wanyan Bali Su Ye discovered his whereabouts, and the official was worried that two armies of the Jin army might attack him at the same time!"

"Why?"

"Because he has fewer soldiers and horses than us, it is impossible for the Jin people to attack the larger one first," Zhao Chen said.

Han Shizhong was silent for a moment and said: "We must get here before noon the day after tomorrow to join forces with Yang Zaixing."

"It's too late, the Jin people may have already sent troops." Geng said, "But we don't know how many soldiers and horses Wanyan Balisu sent there. If our entire army arrived here rashly, and Balisu left one behind, With the elite behind us, our army may face the danger of being attacked from many sides."

"you mean?"

"Send a vanguard to march here urgently, join forces with Yang Zaixing, and deal with the Jin army together."
