…

While Han Shizhong received Han Qing's handwritten letter, almost all the civil and military officials in Nanjing also received Han Qing's "handwritten letters", including the hardcore confidants of Zhao Gou such as Geng Nanzhong, Wang Boyan, and Huang Qianshan.

Some people saw Han Qing promised the high-ranking official and generous salary, and ran away overnight and then went north to report to the court.

Some people began to weigh the pros and cons, and also weighed which one would be more developed by Han Qing or Zhao Gou?

Wang Boyan was the first to come to meet Zhao Gou.

At the beginning, when the Jin army captured Zhending, Zhao Huan issued an edict to move the Zhending General's Mansion to Xiangzhou, and was led by Wang Boyan.

Zhao Gou was ordered to go to the Jin army camp and arrived in Cizhou.

At that time, there were cavalry from the Jin army everywhere, and hundreds of golden cavalry had arrived at the city of Cizhou to track Zhao Gou's whereabouts.

Wang Boyan immediately asked Zhao Gou to return to Xiangzhou with silk books, and personally carried a bag of bows and arrows, leading his subordinates to greet Zhao Gou by the Yellow River.

Zhao Gou was deeply moved. Since then, Wang Boyan has become Zhao Gou's confidant and has been deeply trusted by Zhao Gou.

Wang Boyan was also very loyal to Zhao Gou and planned everything for Zhao Gou.

At this point, when Wang Boyan saw the "handwritten letter" written by Han Qing to him, he immediately came to see Zhao Gou with the letter.

Zhao Gou was walking around in the hospital with Pan Yongshou, the daughter of the pregnant doctor of the Zhihanlin Medical Bureau.

Last year, just as the Jin army besieged Bianliang City, Zhao Gou got a beauty, namely the Pan family, and then favored her day and night.

Pan did not disappoint Zhao Gou's favor for her, and soon became pregnant with Zhao Gou's child.

Pan Yongshou was skilled in medical skills, and he asserted that the child his daughter must be a boy.

Zhao Gou, who already has five girls but doesn't even have a son, was extremely happy to learn that he would have a son. He also loved and favored Pan. He heard Pan Yongshou say that walking more pregnant women can help give birth, Zhao Gou walked with Pan whenever he had time.

Aside from the topic, the reason why Zhao Gou was so kind that he refused to save his old mother, wife, concubine, and five daughters was also closely related to his establishment of a new family and having a son.

When Wang Boyan arrived, Zhao Gou was talking and laughing with Pan.

Wang Boyan was very anxious: "Master, big things are not good!"

Zhao Gou, who was in a good mood, was disappointed when he heard Wang Boyan's words, and then asked Pan to go back and rest first.

When Pan entered the house, Zhao Goucai cheered up and said, "After saying that, what's wrong with it?"

Wang Boyan didn't care about Zhao Gou's attitude, and he quickly showed Zhao Gou the private message Han Qing had given him.

Zhao Gou, who didn't take it seriously, picked up the private message and saw it, and he was shocked and sweated!

"The Korean thief wants to remove the firewood from the cauldron!"

Zhao Gou reacted quickly, and he immediately said, "Send someone to invite Huang Youqiao."

Since he seized the troops of Fan Ne and others, Huang Qianshan, who is deeply trusted by Zhao Gou, has nearly 200,000 troops in his hands. Therefore, if Huang Qianshan leads troops to Han Qing, Zhao Gou will basically be GG.

Fortunately!

Before the people from Wang Boyan's mission could get out of the yard, Huang Qianshan came to see Zhao Gou.

When Huang Qianshan arrived, he hurriedly said, "Master, it's not good, the Korean thief has used a counter-attack plan!"

Zhao Gou said to Huang Qianshan with some relief: "It's okay. With the help of the right prime minister and Wang Shumi, he will surely be able to get rid of danger."

He said that, but Zhao Gou was actually making a fuss in his heart. He was really unconfident. How many people would be instigated by Han Qing?

Soon, Geng Nanzhong, Geng Yanxi, Dong Yun, Gao Shize, Yang Yuan, Wang Qizhi, Qin Baixiang and others came to express their loyalty to Zhao Gou one after another.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou was not only unhappy, but his heart sank instead!

Why do you think?

What Zhao Gouxiang was waiting for was actually whether these civil servants came to see him, but the military generals who were commanding the army came to see him.

But for some reason, except for Huang Qianshan who came to see Zhao Gou as soon as possible, no one else who commanded the troops came to see Zhao Gou as soon as possible.

Soon, someone suddenly came to find Huang Qianshan and whispered a few words in Huang Qianshan's ear.

When Huang Qianshan heard this, he was shocked and immediately came to Zhao Gou and whispered: "Liu Hao led more than 10,000 troops from his headquarters to set up camp and escape north. I have to restrain the army so that this will happen again."

Zhao Gou hurriedly said, "Go quickly."

Huang Qianshan didn't say much and hurriedly left.

As soon as Huang Qianshan left, Geng Nanzhong came to Zhao Gou and said, "The king should send his confidants to meet Wang Yuan and Liu Guangshi with letters from the king. Never let him lead his troops to the north. If he leaves, the king will leave."

Zhao Gou knew that Geng Nanzhong meant that although he had many generals, he could fight and really entrust big things, only Wang Yuan and Liu Guangshi, and most of the others were mobs.

Zhao Gou quickly wrote a letter to Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi.

But before Zhao Gou's letter was finished, Zhang Jun's nephew Zhang Zigai came to report to Zhao Gou: "Report to the king, after my uncle saw the private message from the Korean thief, he went to see the king as soon as possible. Wang Dutong has sent troops to restrain the five armies. My uncle will report to the king in the future."

Upon hearing that Wang Yuan and Zhang Jun had sent troops to suppress the fifth army of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Gou breathed a sigh of relief!

At present, the two largest soldiers and horses in Zhao Gou are the nearly 200,000 troops under Huang Qianshan and the more than 100,000 troops of the Five Army of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

As long as these two groups do not have major problems, Zhao Gou will not lose the capital to compete for the world and will be qualified to compete with Han Qing.

However--

Zhao Gou was not happy for too long, but bad news came one after another.

The first bad news is that after Liu Hao, Han Shizhong, a general who Zhao Gou also trusted, also led 8,000 troops from his headquarters to the north overnight.

When it was dawn, Sun Zhaoyuan, the former head of the West Road, led thousands of troops to the north.

The next morning, Longtu Pavilion was waiting for the system, Qian Gai, the general commander of Shaanxi, colluded with Zhang Shen, the general secretary of the former Fuyan Road, to lead more than 10,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the two, and they also carried Li Gang away from the Shangshu Zuo Pushe and the Minister of the Secretariat.

The next afternoon, Wang Yuan and Zhang Jun, who had held down the fifth army of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, came to report that the Grand Yuan's Mansion had more than 30,000 troops to go north in pieces. Yang Yizhong, who was deeply impressed by Zhang Jun's general Zhao Gou, also led more than 1,000 troops to go north in the headquarters.

In the next few days, people escaped every day.

Not only were he a soldier, but he also had civil servants who originally belonged to the Grand Marshal's Office, such as Zhan Du, the commander of the Hunan Road, and Chen Kangbo, the official who was deleted by the imperial decree.

In just over a dozen days, 150,000 people and 60,000 people scattered and returned north, and hundreds of civil and military officials from the Grand Marshal's Mansion went north.

Many people sighed: "By letters alone, King Kang lost one-third of his troops and talents, and the Regent was really far-sighted!"

Is Han Qing awesome?

Yes, not.

Undoubtedly, Han Qing first used political means to weaken Zhao Gou's strength.

But if Zhao Gou had not been determined to travel south but not to go north, which disappointed many people who followed Zhao Gou. In addition, many of the people in Zhao Gou's hands were unwilling to go south, Han Qing would not have been able to abandon Zhao Gou with just a few letters.

Seeing that people's hearts are disintegrating and if they don't find a way to stop them, they may become lonely.

He heard Wang Boyan’s request again: “Please take the army south quickly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Zhao Gou felt that before Han Qing led his troops to suppress him, he had already shrunk by one-third. If Han Qing really led his troops to suppress him, would his situation be better?

Zhao Gou no longer hesitated and ordered that only a few thousand troops be left to guard several vital places north of the Jianghuai River, and the rest of the troops travel south. He himself took the civil and military officials from the Grand Marshal's Mansion to Yangzhou...
