Han Shizhong didn't expect Liu Chan's reaction to be so big. Didn't he just hesitate for a moment? Why did he suddenly change his face?
In fact, it is not difficult to guess why Liu Chan's attitude is like this.
Look, who is Liu Chan? Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, who do not love Liu Chan extremely much, and Jiang Wei, for example, are absolutely loyal to Liu Chan.
Therefore, Liu Chan is a person who was born with a sugar key. Then he has reason to believe that if he is good to a person, that person must be loyal to him.
It's a pity that this is not the Han Dynasty, and the culture of loyalty to the emperor and dying for the lord has long since ceased to exist.
Han Shizhong lowered his head and said: "I swear to be loyal to your majesty to the death, and I will never say anything. If I just execute the entire court ministers, then our court will inevitably collapse. Please think twice, your majesty!"
"Think twice? I have already thought about it. Now tell me your choice."
Liu Chan made it clear that he wanted Han Shizhong to have an attitude, but Han Shizhong could not give him this attitude. He was a fence-sitter, and he would stand on whichever side was more powerful.
Anyway, it was all internal fighting in the Song Dynasty, and no one could blame him.
Han Shizhong was embarrassed. He knelt down and bowed his head without saying a word, expressing his attitude to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan smiled sadly and took a few steps back. He had never encountered an attitude like Han Shizhong's. In the past, no one would act immediately after hearing his order, and no one would dare to disobey his will.
Even if it was Jiang Wei, he didn't obey Liu Chan's surrender order when it came out!
Liu Chan held the door with his hands, as if he would fall to the ground in the next moment. Seeing this, Han Shizhong quickly said: "Your Majesty, I don't mean this. If it comes to other matters, I promise to be loyal and can kill the ministers in the court."
, please forgive me for not obeying my order."
"What you are loyal to is not the country, nor me."
Liu Chan chuckled, said such a strange thing, and then staggered out of the room step by step.
His back was so depressed, even when Zhao Yuan rebelled, Liu Chan had never looked like this before.
Speaking of which, after Zhao Yuan rebelled, Liu Chan only deposed him as prince and did not arrest him.
Therefore, Liu Chan doesn't know where Zhao Yuan has fled to now.
Although the courtiers are quite discussing this, there is always a preparation. Isn't this Liu Chan's plan for the young prince Zhao Chen?
Although, Liu Chan didn't think so.
Liu Chan returned to his palace and sat in a chair in a daze. He no longer knew who to trust. As a person who had traveled through time and did not have much memory of his original life, it was difficult for him to trust the people around him.
After all, they are not very familiar with each other.
He thought he could rely on his military exploits to make ministers swear loyalty to him, but, haha, he thought too much.
He closed his eyes to rest and calmly said, "Li Hui."
The hall was silent.
Oh, it turns out Li Hui is dead.
Then there is nothing more to say, just conquer it yourself!
Liu Chan told the news one by one and sent a message to the generals in various places, asking them to send troops to conquer the enemy. Those who can fight should fight forward, and those who can't fight should garrison the city.
He, Liu Chan, will go to the battlefield in person. If this battle fails, he will commit suicide to thank the world.
The emperor of a country commits suicide after defeat. He wants to see how shameless the ministers are in continuing to stay in the court.
Liu Chan is a person who is very afraid of death, has no self-esteem, and does not value dignity even more.
If the Han army was fighting at this time, it would not matter to him whether it was peace negotiation or surrender.
But the barbarians came. The tragedy of the Wuhu Rebellion in the history books made him remember it hard. He would never surrender to the barbarians. This was the last dignity of his old Liu family.
Without Han Shizhong, what would happen? What would happen if there were 500,000 enemy troops?
It's nothing more than destroying a city and a country, and paying blood for blood.
The war came faster than expected. Yue Yun led the Wei army to fight without even waiting for Liu Chan's order.
It was Yue Yun who led his troops to pacify Xixia. Now, the Xixia forces who have come out again look down on him!
Therefore, the moment he discovered the Xixia army, Yue Yun sent troops. Everyone knew that Bei Weijun was Liu Chan's biological son, so even if it was against the rules, no one stopped him.
Xixia originally wanted to gain some benefits by conquering the Song Dynasty. It would be better if the country could be restored.
After all, facing the so-called 500,000 enemy troops, the Song Dynasty must hesitate. Hesitation means there is an opportunity to take advantage.
But unfortunately, they met Yue Yun.
How could Yue Yun care about this? In his opinion, Xixia sent troops to look down on him.
As a result, Xixia's 10,000 troops were directly slaughtered by Yue Yun and Bei Wei's army.
It's just an army of 10,000 people, but they dare to act recklessly in front of Yue Yun.
After this battle, Xixia was officially swept into the garbage heap of history.
After Liu Chan's letter reached Yue Yun, Yue Yun stood stunned on the spot. The battle was over, what should they do now?
Where to go to his father Yue Fei?
This is definitely not possible. In this case, His Majesty will be unhappy, and he knows this very well.
Fortunately, Liu Chan also said that he will personally visit the northern frontline in a month to urge the coach to send troops.
Yue Yun decided to wait for Liu Chan to come to the north and then immediately go to meet Liu Chan. Just talking about Liu Chan's attitude of taking the lead in fighting, Yue Yun was fascinated.
When the mighty army was assembled in Lin'an, Han Shizhong and his ministers discovered that Liu Chan's prestige in the army was frighteningly high.
Even without Han Shizhong, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Liu Chan could directly issue orders to his various generals.
And the most important thing is that these generals and soldiers strongly support Liu Chan's rule, and their loyalty is far greater than that of Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong didn't understand why, if not all the soldiers in the Song Dynasty looked down on the emperor, why had their attitude changed now?
Without him, the improvement in status and treatment, coupled with Liu Chan's military exploits.
Instability in the rear is a terrible thing, so Liu Chan launched a bloodbath against Lin'an's ministers.
Even the students in Imperial College were not spared. The wailing in Lin'an lasted for several days, and the blood flowed for an unknown amount of time.
Eventually, Lin'an came under the rule of Liu Chan again, and the imperial power was once again consolidated.
However, the national power of the Song Dynasty suffered a serious decline. After all, all the ministers working in the court were killed by Liu Chan.
Fortunately, everyone now understands that military power is the most important, and that having a strong fist is the last word.
"Prime Minister Qin, after I go on an expedition, Lin'an will depend on you."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will never allow unrest in the rear."
"That's good. Otherwise, don't blame me for bringing the army back."
Liu Chan's eyes were cold. He had begun to distrust Qin Hui. He had begun to doubt whether this man was loyal or traitorous.
"I promise that this will never happen. It's just that there are so many vacancies in the official positions in the court, and it will be difficult for even a scholar to fill them all at once."
"There are petty officials in Lin'an, there are talented people, there are great scholars, and there are ministers who are idle and waiting for their families. I don't care about my background or fame. As long as I can manage the country well, I don't care about anything."
Liu Chan snorted coldly, he really thought that without those people in the court, the Song Dynasty would not turn around!
"I understand."
After Liu Chan led his army to leave Lin'an, a dark shadow entered Li Hui's office.
It's Xiaohong, Wanyanhu's former personal maid, and the shadow guard lurking around Wanyanhu.
In terms of trust, besides Li Hui, the only person Liu Chan trusts the most is Xiao Hong.
After all, this is what Liu Chan has experienced personally.
Xiao Hong stared at the north and sighed. As a shadow guard, how could she not know what happened in Lin'an?
Why was the prince deposed and why did Li Hui die?
Did she really misjudge Liu Chan?
Liu Chan led an army of 100,000 people and marched all the way to the north. He ignored Tubo in the west and Dali in the south for the time being.
The biggest enemy in the Central Plains is always in the north. As for the clowns in the west and south, he will come back to deal with them after he defeats the enemy in the north.
With the 100,000 troops plus the 120,000 troops from the north, the Song army attacked 220,000 troops this time.
There are 50,000 Western Liao troops, 20,000 Jin troops, 30,000 Mongolian troops, and a total of 100,000 allied troops.
Two hundred and twenty thousand versus one hundred thousand, the advantage is mine!
After Liu Chan reunited with Yue Fei's army, he immediately launched a battle against the coalition forces of various countries.
As expected, Liu Chan lost. The Song army lost 50,000 people in the battle, and countless others were injured.
Liu Chan sat in the camp, his face as gloomy as water, and said: "Where are the enemy troops now?"
"Mainly in the Qinzhou area, due to the obstruction of mountains, it is difficult for our army to find their specific location. Moreover, there are golden soldiers among the enemy troops in this battle, and they are definitely the pinnacle of golden soldiers."
The pinnacle golden soldier, this is a terrifying title.
It was the golden soldiers who dared to chase 100,000 people and fight them back then.
Yes, the Jin soldiers awakened. The pain of national subjugation and the crisis of genocide made the Jurchens once again recall the pain of being squeezed by the Liao Kingdom.
If you are not strong, then go to hell.
The Jurchens are a nation of strong people, and the weak do not deserve to live.
Even if there are only 20,000 Jin soldiers, they will not have any fear when facing 200,000 Song troops.
Liu Chan thought of this battle too easily. Without the intention of a bloody battle and without exhausting all his thoughts, it would be impossible to win this battle.
The 220,000 Song army fought hard and lost more than half of their troops again, so that they could truly win this battle.
Otherwise, let's negotiate peace as soon as possible.
"The Peak Golden Soldier? Regardless of whether he is the Peak or not, I will slaughter them in this battle. Where is Yue Yun?"
"We'll be there in one day."
"Okay, then I will wait for him for one more day. Send an order to the army to meet the enemy in Qinzhou in two days."
"Your Majesty, although the Jin soldiers are hiding in Qinzhou, our army is in the open and the enemy's army is in the dark. Once there is a change, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
After the last war, Liu Chan had a clear understanding of his commanding abilities.
Apart from his fighting attitude and Machiavellian tactics, he is absolutely useless in other areas and is an absolute rookie.
Therefore, even if he is dissatisfied now, he still wants to be patient and listen carefully to Yue Fei's suggestions.
"It's bitterly cold in the north, and the enemy's strength is as high as one hundred thousand, so food and grass will inevitably be insufficient. As long as our army holds fast, the enemy's army will definitely appear in a few days. By then, if our army attacks again, we will definitely be able to determine victory or defeat in one fell swoop.
Liu Chan suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. Even if he had any thoughts, he suppressed them one by one at this time.
