Zhao Zhen watched Kou Ji finish reading the documents and asked displeasedly: "Do I look like a foolish king?"

Kou Ji handed the document back to Zhao Zhen, stood back where he was, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "I don't look like a treacherous minister..."

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Shi Yuansun's move not only slandered me, but also put you on fire. His heart is to be punished!"

Kou Ji said earnestly: "Now is not the time to worry about these things. Shi Yuansun mentioned in the document that he has gathered 200,000 troops and is preparing to join the capital to serve the king. 200,000 troops is not a small number. We must deal with it carefully.

That’s it.”

"Two hundred thousand?"

Zhao Zhen said disdainfully: "If he can gather 200,000 troops, I will take his surname as Shi."

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and understood the meaning of Zhao Zhen's words.

Kou Ji pondered and said: "What the official means is that Shi Yuansun is bluffing?"

Zhao Zhen took another document and handed it to Kou Ji. When Kou Ji was reading the document, Zhao Zhen said: "Every family has their own hearts and minds, plus each family's cronies in the military, the calculation is barely enough."

It is less than 20,000 strong.

They also used the name of King Qin to incite some people.

The total number of men and horses is only 50,000."

Kou Ji listened to Zhao Zhen's words while reading the documents in his hand.

What was recorded in the document was far more detailed than what Zhao Zhen said.

After Shi Yuansun and others left Beijing, they passed through Jingzhao Mansion and arrived at Xingyuan Mansion, and then split up to mobilize the troops and horses they could mobilize.

After Shi Yuansun led his people into the military camp on Lizhou Road where Xingyuan Mansion was located, in the name of King Qin and with the help of his cronies in the army, he quickly killed the supervisors and took control of the soldiers on Lizhou Road.

Ma Daying.

After the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture realized that something was wrong, he wrote to the court for verification while secretly dealing with Shi Yuansun.

Shi Yuansun had neither military talismans nor military edicts, so there was no way to dispel the suspicion of the prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture.

After repeated investigations, the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture confirmed that Shi Yuansun was responsible for the rebellion.

So he spread the word and threatened that Shi Yuansun was causing rebellion. Any soldiers who followed Shi Yuansun to cause rebellion would be killed by the court. Now that he had escaped from Shi Yuansun's control and did not follow Shi Yuansun to cause rebellion, he would not only be innocent afterwards, but also

Have merit.

The soldiers had doubts about Shi Yuansun's killing of the supervisors in the army.

When the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture said this, the suspicion in the hearts of the soldiers became even stronger.

Some soldiers, relying on their prestige in the army, went to Shi Yuansun to ask for military talismans, clothing and belt edicts and other things. Shi Yuansun could not produce anything, so he could only temporarily list some crimes and impound them.

them.

At the same time, people were sent to arrest the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture.

However, they did not expect that the magistrate of Xingyuan Mansion had escaped from Xingyuan Mansion with his young son long before the news spread.

Seeing this, the soldiers on Lizhou Road were convinced that Shi Yuansun was a rebel, so they fled together.

For a time, the military camp on Lizhou Road controlled by Shi Yuansun was like a sieve. Soldiers were fleeing every moment, and some of the outposts guarding the military camp were also fleeing.

Shi Yuansun was not allowed to mobilize his cronies and sealed off the military camp.

In the end, there were less than 10,000 soldiers left in the military camp on Lizhou Road.

After all, Shi Yuansun has more than 10,000 people, but others are far less lucky than Shi Yuansun.

When they left Lizhou Road and went to mobilize troops and horses, as soon as they entered the military camp, they were surrounded and interrogated by the military supervisors, officials, clerks and others, and they found out the flaws.

Before the military supervisors, officials, and scribes mobilized troops to capture them, they decisively fled the camp with their cronies.

There were also one or two unlucky ones who were captured on the spot by the military supervisors and others with their troops before they could escape from the camp.

all in all.

Shi Yuansun and others left Bianjing City with confidence. After arriving, they could not mobilize many troops at all.

He just reluctantly mobilized his cronies from each army and joined them with his subordinates to form an army of 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were simply not enough in front of Zhao Zhen, who had an army of one million.

Shi Yuansun knows this truth well.

Therefore, after gathering 20,000 soldiers and horses, he did not act rashly. Instead, he took up residence in Xingyuan Mansion. Using the name of King Qin, he invited people with lofty ideals from all over the world to follow him to the capital.

For this reason, he promised a lot of huge profits.

Then some of the ghosts and snake spirits entrenched in the three mountains and five mountains were persuaded by him, and they rushed to Xingyuan Mansion with their people to help him cause chaos.

With the addition of those demons and monsters, Shi Yuansun's troops jumped to 50,000.

Then Shi Yuansun led 50,000 troops, claiming to be 200,000 troops, and marched out of Xingyuan Mansion, preparing to enter the capital for King Qin.

However, his marching route did not go directly to Bianjing City, but to Qinzhou.

You know, Qinzhou is in the northwest of Xingyuan Prefecture, and Bianjing City is in the northeast of Xingyuan Prefecture.

"What does Shi Yuansun want to do?"

After reading the document, Kou Ji looked confused.

He completely couldn't understand Shi Yuansun's purpose of marching to Qinzhou.

If you want to be King Qin, you should march to Bianjing City.

If we want to split the soil and seal the border, we should march south.

There are few troops in the south, and Shi Yuansun can completely carve out a place to settle in the south with the soldiers and horses in his hands.

But not only did he not choose Bianjing City, he also did not choose the south. Instead, he went to Qinzhou.

Qinzhou belongs to Qinfeng Road.

Entering Qinfeng Road, no matter where Shi Yuansun leads his troops, he will encounter strong soldiers.

No matter where the strong soldiers are, Shi Yuansun cannot match them.

There are Yongxing Army and the defenders of Fengxiang Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion in Qinfeng Road.

The Yongxing Army can be regarded as one of the most powerful armies in the Song Dynasty. I dare not say that it can defeat Shi Yuansun's soldiers and horses, but at least it can restrain Shi Yuansun in one place.

After leaving Qinfeng Road, go further north to Hexi Road and Xiping Road.

Hexi Road and Xiping Road are now under semi-military control. It can be said that almost all the people are under military control.

If Shi Yuansun plunged headlong into it, all the bones and debris would be swallowed clean.

Zhao Zhen did not answer Kou Ji's words, but took out another document and handed it to Kou Ji.

"besides?"

Kou Ji took the document suspiciously, glanced at it briefly, and turned his face slightly to one side.

Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and said in astonishment: "Shi Yuansun, this is..."

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "Run!"

Kou Ji said with a strange look on his face: "Of course I know that Shi Yuansun is going to run away, but this is too..."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and snorted: "That's so shameless, isn't it?"

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

The new document that Zhao Zhen handed to Kou Ji mentioned that Shi Yuansun himself led 50,000 soldiers and horses to Qinzhou, but the people from Shifu, as well as people from other mansions, after leaving Xingyuan Mansion

, he left the large group of soldiers and horses and rode southward.

Depending on the situation, he is going to Yongzhou and other places.

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "Shi Yuansun deceived others into committing suicide, and he secretly sent his family members to flee south. If my guess is correct, the people in his family will either follow Leizhou

If you go to sea, you will either enter Jiaozhi to avoid disaster."

Kou Ji put down the paperwork and asked, "How do the officials plan to respond?"

Zhao Zhen sneered and said: "He thinks his conspiracy will succeed? I have already ordered Zhang Lun of Yongzhou to block all their routes to escape south. When they arrive in Yongzhou, they will be captured by Zhang Lun in one fell swoop."

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.

There is a Xiang army stationed in Yongzhou.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, they were the pioneers when they conquered Jiaozhi.

After the defeat of the conquest of Jiaozhi, they stayed in Yongzhou.

Although they are a Xiang army, their combat effectiveness is not weak.

It is said that there are still some elephant soldiers left over from the Southern Han Dynasty.

That's right, it's the elephant soldier.

An elephant soldier riding an elephant.

The Southern Han Dynasty relied on the sharpness of the elephant soldiers to defeat several conquests of the Song Dynasty.
