"Grandfather——" Unexpectedly, the old general had the idea of fighting to protect himself. In an instant, Han Qing's heart felt hot again.
"I only have a grandson like you. The officials understand it, and Kou Zhun also understands it." Han Chonggui's performance was much calmer than that of Han Qing. He smiled, as if he was talking about a very common thing, "I just thought about it carefully.
After a while, the move of letting me lead the army to station in Yanggu was a very mysterious move. It is not far from Bianliang. Moreover, once something happened to the Henan camp, more than half of the Yellow River defense line carefully arranged by the imperial court immediately collapsed."
"Could it be... Kou Zhun?" Han Qing immediately understood what the old man meant and blurted out the words in surprise.
The practice mentioned earlier had already existed in the Five Dynasties. That is, when military generals with heavy troops went out to fight, they would tacitly send their sons or grandchildren to Bianliang to serve as officials. The euphemistically called it, "Yinji children and grandchildren".
.In fact, they took their children and grandchildren as hostages and handed them over to the emperor.
In this way, a lot of suspicion between the monarch and his ministers can be reduced.
In the Song Dynasty, the imperial court even set up a group of positions to arrange the hostages left by military generals. When Li Dezhao was ordered to go to Bianliang to "study", the imperial court gave him the official position of a Spanish envoy. So much so that Li Dezhao
As soon as Sheng, Lu Xingyan and others heard this man's official title, they immediately guessed that he was the son of a military commander or a general.
Therefore, the imperial court summoned Han Chonggui to take charge of the Henan camp. As his only grandson, it was natural that Han Qing was transferred back to Bianliang.
Unless Han Chonggui can be completely ruthless, refuse to be called, and sit back and watch the Henan camp fall into the hands of a mediocre person, and finally be taken advantage of by the Khitans to cross the Yellow River. Otherwise, it is impossible for his only grandson Han Qing to be "virtuous".
Excuses such as "coordination" continue to stick to JD.com East Road.
And this move is a "double-edged sword".
As long as Han Chonggui effectively controls Henan Xingying, no foolish emperor would dare to risk the rebellion of Henan Xingying or the collapse of Henan Xingying to murder Han Qing.
After all, the Song Dynasty had only been established for more than 40 years. Most officials in the court clearly remembered the lessons of the fall of the Later Han Dynasty.
If Liu Chengyou hadn't taken the initiative and murdered Guo Wei's wife and children who had stayed in Bianliang. Guo Wei, who was over fifty years old and was leading the troops in Hebei, would have never been able to rebel.
It was precisely because of Liu Chengyou's unjust actions that when Guo Wei led his troops to avenge Bianliang, the imperial army collapsed immediately. Even Liu Chengyou's uncle chose to stand still and watch his nephew be removed from the throne.
"Of course it's Kou Laoxi, who else has such great skill and courage!" Han Chonggui's voice suddenly became louder, with a hint of appreciation.
"It's indeed a big deal!" Han Qing showed a wry smile on his face and praised in a low voice.
This move not only prevented him from "wandering" outside Bianliang and frightened the officials and some people. At the same time, it also created a dangerous balance, so that the officials and some people in the court did not dare to deal with it.
He resorted to extraordinary measures in order to "get it done once and for all."
If you don't have enough courage and courage, you really can't pull off this move.
However, since Kou Laoxi'er had already arranged everything secretly, why did he need to write a letter to Han and talk about "Situation and people"?
He clearly had doubts about the theory of reincarnation and calamity. He was worried that if Han accepted the test, he would ruin the Song Dynasty.
"Kou Laoxi was the right-hand man chosen by the late emperor himself for the officialdom. What the late emperor liked was that he had the community at heart and would not be fettered by personal relationships in his work." As if he had guessed what Han Qing was thinking, the old general Han Chonggui also sighed with emotion.
.
"It is indeed the prime minister pattern!" Han Qing suddenly realized it and nodded with a wry smile.
In the eyes of a famous figure like Kou Zhun, even the emperor could be used as a pawn when necessary. How could he really believe that he would never have any dissatisfaction with the Song Dynasty just because he was his boss?
Putting himself under his nose and watching him every day is probably the best choice for him!
"Your uncle and Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Liu Guangyi and others are sworn brothers. Therefore, I took advantage. Although I am not much older than Gao Chugong, Shi Baoji, Liu Baozhong and others, in terms of seniority, I am their uncle.
"Knowing that Han Qing had fully understood what he meant, the old general Han Chonggui thought for a while and changed the topic to another key point. "In addition, when your grandfather and I were the princes of the palace, they were still considered the property of a few of them.
Boss. Now that Yanggu is reunited, it will not be difficult to get them to obey orders."
"Be careful of the Khitan East Route Army. Cai Zhongcheng, the pseudo-Cangzhou Jiedu envoy Zhang Shouzhong caught on his way back, is the nephew of Cai Renyuan, the commander of the Goryeo navy. According to his confession, Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Kingdom has ordered Cai Renyuan to lead
We will come to the Song Dynasty again with a warship to help the Liao Eastern Route Army cross the Yellow River."
"It doesn't matter, you leave Zhang Shouzhong to me. I will give him all the ships and let him sit in Binzhou and block the outlet of the Yellow River and not let any foreign ships go upstream." Han Chonggui raised his eyebrows and immediately came up with a countermeasure.
"The original plan of Yang Xu and I was to report to the court and implore the officials to transfer the Fuzhou Navy to the north." Not sure whether Zhang Shouzhong could stop Cai Renyuan, Han Qing continued to add.
"This strategy is feasible. But the key is to take the prisoner and let him confess to Kou Zhun and the officials in person. In this way, the court's response will be more timely." Han Chonggui frowned, and quickly replaced him based on the actual situation of the Song Dynasty.
Han Qing filled in the omissions.
Han Qing nodded lightly, and then whispered to his grandfather, "Dou Rong's uncle Li Yu, as well as my brothers Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao, are both brave and good at fighting. If they stay with you, they may be able to help.
busy."
"Li Yu stays. He has been helping you take charge of the various armies and is familiar with the situation. I just lack such a person by my side." Han Chonggui thought about it for a while and quickly made a decision, "Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao, you take them with you."
Go to Kaifeng Mansion. Firstly, it will avoid having no one available, and secondly, it will also give the two brothers a chance to go higher in the future."
"Yeah!" Knowing that his grandfather was thinking about his own safety, Han Qing nodded again. Then, he whispered, "I improved the crossbow a while ago. I put the gunpowder in the crossbow rod, lit it and fired it.
Not only are the power and range far greater than the fire bombs, but they also make up for the shortcomings of the crossbow gun's lack of accuracy. I have taught the military craftsmen step by step the specific modification methods. If you have time, order people to make more, which can be used to restrain war.
Ships and cavalry.”
"Don't worry, I will make as many as possible." Han Chonggui also nodded seriously.
Both grandfather and grandson knew that there might not be any fierce battle next, but the level of danger was no less than when the Korean navy attacked with all its troops. Therefore, each tried their best to remind the other what preparations needed to be made in advance. At the same time, they tried their best to
Comfort the other person as much as possible without worrying about yourself.
It wasn't until Yuan Kun came to ask for instructions that the Liao army commander's ship had fled the battlefield. The entire fleet should continue to pursue the pursuit or return to Dengzhou. Han Chonggui finally realized the passage of time and sent Yuan Kun to notify all the warships.
Then he raised his hand and pressed his grandson's shoulder, and gave the final instruction in a very low voice: "Be careful. If you find something is wrong, flee Bianliang immediately. The world is so big, we can go anywhere."
.”
"Be careful, God's power is unpredictable. At worst, our whole family will leave. With my grandson's ability, no matter where you go, you can live a long life!" Han Qing raised his hand and patted his grandfather gently.
Back of hand.
Grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled again, feeling a warmth in each other's palms.
This warm current flowed into Han Qing's heart and accompanied him from Dengzhou to Bianliang.
