If the sky had eyes, it would really strike down with lightning, blowing up your limbs and scattering your soul.
How could you mess around with such a major military matter like a child's game?
Really...
It’s really outrageous to the core!
No wonder that after this, the entire Song Dynasty would fall into such a situation.
If we sum it up, it is inseparably related to these worms in the court.
When Wu Zhi faced the evening glow and disappeared into the distance.
Next to the half-grown man, an old man with weak legs and feet also walked up.
This person is relatively thin and has many wrinkles on his face.
There was also a hint of worry in his slightly cloudy eyes:
"Pengju, aren't you on patrol?"
"But why are you standing here looking into the distance, in a daze?"
The young man named Pengju, after hearing this, slowly turned his head to the old man:
"I happened to bump into an older brother who was going the wrong way just now, and I chatted with him for a while."
The old man frowned slightly, and after a while, he murmured to himself:
"A big brother who went astray?"
"Is it really such a coincidence?"
The old man sighed quietly, and then said:
"Pengju, keep patrolling. Grandpa will go back to gather the brothers and prepare for dinner."
As soon as the old man turned around, the young man named Peng Ju said to him quite excitedly:
"Grandpa, in more than a month, are we really going to go north to join the Jin army in conquering the Liao Kingdom?"
After the old man heard this, he slowly turned around and looked at the half-grown man with a complicated expression:
"Of course this is true. The official decree has been issued. Could it be that it is still false?"
"Where are you, Pengju?"
"What do you think about this matter?"
The half-grown boy named Pengju first looked curiously at the direction where Wu Zhi disappeared, and then turned around and looked at those in the camp. Some were suffering from injuries, and some were already over 10 years old.
Thousands of comrades from ancient times.
In my heart, a sense of confusion arose for no reason:
"Grandpa, of course Pengju really wants to go into battle and kill the enemy."
"But in the camp, those uncles and grandfathers are probably dead."
"If this time, we really follow the official's orders and go into battle to kill the enemy with the vanguard general we haven't met yet."
"Pengju can't even guess what will happen at that time."
As soon as the young man named Peng Ju finished speaking, the old man sighed helplessly:
"As sergeants of the Song Dynasty, we are ordinary people with no official rank. What can we do in this situation?"
"It's just a pain for the vanguard general who came here to lead the troops."
"If our group of people fails in the battle against the enemy on the battlefield, the vanguard general who came here to command the army will probably not have an easy time from now on."
"It's hateful, it's hateful, it's hateful that the treacherous ministers in the government were in charge, and how many loyal ministers and good generals were killed in vain!"
The young man named Peng Ju nodded in understanding after hearing what his grandfather said.
Immediately, a flash of light flashed in his eyes:
"Grandpa, what if it is that kind of old general who leads our group of soldiers north to fight against the enemy this time?"
"Then we can win the next battles?"
The old man laughed a few times rather bitterly:
"Pengju, you don't understand."
"It is true that that kind of old commander is indeed very capable. Whether it is leading troops to fight or marching and forming formations, he can really be called an expert."
"But there are a bunch of treacherous ministers and rebels in the imperial court. Even if that kind of old commander has the ability to go to heaven and earth, how can he get the opportunity to lead an army from the official family?"
"Even today, without those rebellious officials and traitors, it is absolutely impossible for today's officials to easily let General Zhong lead his army on an expedition."
Pengju was very anxious in his heart, and a look of extreme confusion flashed across his face:
"This, why is this?"
"If that kind of old commander is so powerful, why don't you use him in the imperial court?
Isn’t it allowed by the officials?”
"This, this doesn't make sense at all!"
The old man gritted his teeth with hatred, and then sneered:
"Hmph, it makes sense..."
"In such a world, where can one make sense?"
After the old man said these words, he gently patted the half-grown man on the shoulder with his palm:
"Pengju, there are some things that you still don't understand even if grandpa tells you now."
"Grandpa knows that since the day you learned the art, you have always wanted to be a marshal who can control the world and command the army like Marshal Zhong."
"But in today's world, in today's world, if those generals and veterans want to get ahead, it will be really difficult for them to reach the top..."
"Grandpa only hopes that when you grow up, the whole world will become more enlightened."
"If you can really wait until that day, grandpa will know better and can rest in peace..."
…
Wu Zhi has returned to his residence outside the palace for a long time.
He just sat there in his bedroom without any movement and the expression on his face did not change.
There is no doubt that Gao Qiu's use of this trick was extremely immoral.
Otherwise, Wu Zhi, who has always been quite optimistic, would definitely not be able to be forced into such helplessness.
But now, there are only three options before him.
The first one is also the one he least wants to take.
That is to say, regardless of the situation, lead the old, weak and remnant soldiers to fight northward.
As for winning or losing, he doesn't care at all.
If they are defeated, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others will definitely take this opportunity to add insult to injury.
When the time comes, if Wu Zhi wants to stand up again, it will probably be even harder than climbing to heaven.
What if he leads that army to really have a run of good luck and win a series of great victories?
So Tong Guan, as the marshal of the unified army this time, will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
Maybe when the time comes, they will take the opportunity to seize the credit for Wu Zhi and others, leaving Wu Zhi and others to wait and fight to the end, and at best they can only get some petty profits.
As for the big rewards, such as promotions and rewards, all of them will be taken by Tong Guan's cronies.
Therefore, no matter what the outcome of this road is for Wu Zhi in the future, it is something he never wants to see.
As for the second one, he should leave for the palace now to discuss it with Zhao Ji.
Then with the help of Zhao Ji's pressure, he forced Gao Qiu to select another elite army for him to strengthen the future.
