Chapter 194: Zhao Heng is not a good master

Luo Yongsheng reemerged in Jiangxi and annihilated the Tianwu Army. The news that he killed Lei Youzhong could not be concealed. Jiangnan's urgent news was a flying into Tokyo City with wings and Danfeng Gate.

Zhao Heng, who learned the news, almost followed King Li of Chu and destroyed the jade seal of the kingdom.

It is normal for him to throw the seal. At the beginning of this thing, the Chu people dug it out to the King of Chu, but now Luo Yongsheng is the King of Chu who is self-proclaimed.

The way of heaven is good for reincarnation. No matter how Zhao Heng looks at it now, he feels that the words "take the order from heaven" are mocking Zhao Songshanhe who is his.

After being angry, he was angry, but he was only angry. Zhao Heng still had to face the bleak reality and asked Cao Can to discuss countermeasures.

"Suppress, we must eliminate Luo Ni."

The latter was timid in front of the angry Zhao Heng, but his heart was bitter.

It is easy for the superiors to speak out. One sentence of annihilation is light, but what is the current imperial court to wipe out?

The Shenwu Army went to the northwest to confront Xixia, and the central government only had the Pangri and the Shenwei army. If they were sent south to fight against rebellion, Tokyo would be empty.

Although Yang Si and Yang Yanzhao, the Weihu Army, have led 20,000 cavalry to the south, but 20,000 people?

It's a drop in the bucket.

"Your Majesty, the southwest, northwest and southeast are now using troops, and the imperial court has no soldiers available at present."

Cao Can, who was panicked, could only grit his teeth and report to Zhao Heng truthfully: "It would be better to first transfer Er Yang to lead the army to Jiangling Prefecture, and the remnants of the Hunxing National Army block the north bank of the Yangtze River, beware of Luo Ni going north, and then order Hanzhong, Fengxiang to pacify the pseudo-Shu as soon as possible, and command Liangzhe to pacify Lin Min as soon as possible. After these two places are pacified, the court will free up his hands to wipe out Luo Ni."

It is easy to say, but my family knows their own affairs, and the local wing forces have very low combat powers. Otherwise, they would not have been able to destroy the two regimes of the pseudo-Shu and pseudo-Fin. The imperial court was originally very powerful in the southeast, but Ninghai and Xuande armies were successively destroyed by Luo Yongsheng, and the subsequent Taiping and Huaiyang armies were also crippled.

If the Xingguo Army stationed in Jiangling Prefecture and the just-annihilated Tianwu Army, the Central Committee has already lost five local imperial guards and one central imperial guard for the sake of Luo Chu.

The organization of the 300,000 imperial guards was consumed so much that they could not even think about it. When they think of it, Cao Can's heart was bleeding.

The family business left by our ancestors is almost defeated.

"No soldiers available?"

Zhao Heng was stunned. His body, who was in his prime in his thirties, shook twice, scaring Cao Can so hard that he hurried forward to support him.

"How could there be no soldiers available? How could there be no soldiers available!"

Holding Cao Can's collar tightly, Zhao Heng sniffed angrily and shouted loudly: "Where are the soldiers in Jiangnan? Where are the soldiers in Jiangnan!"

"The two remaining troops of Huaiyang and Taiping are going to guard Shengzhou and transport the grain. The Wugang army is fighting fiercely in Changsha, Yongshun and many rebellious chieftains on Jinghu South Road. The imperial court has no soldiers available in Jiangnan."

If Cao Can could sprinkle beans and become soldiers, there would be no need to worry about it, but he couldn't. He could only face the mess in front of him.

The emperor reached out to ask for troops, where can he change?

"If there are no soldiers, go and recruit recruits and let local soldiers recruit thieves."

Zhao Heng gritted his teeth. Now that he has taken a step back, he has decided to delegate power: "I will delegate power to them, and I will allow them to recruit troops. As long as they can eliminate Luo Ni, I will recognize him even if they raise a few military governors."

Compared to the local tail that is too big, it is obvious that Luo Yongsheng's existence makes Zhao Heng even more disgusting. As long as Luo Chu can be destroyed, even if the number of local governors is exchanged for, Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and felt that there was nothing unacceptable to it. It's a pity that his decisiveness was not exchanged for any good response.

Cao Can's face became even hesitant.

"Is there any more difficulties in Cao Qing?"

"There is a mess caused by the mutiny of the Weilu Army."

After pondering for a long time, Cao Can finally sighed and decided to confess to Zhao Heng: "Your Majesty, since the Mutinous Army of the Powers returned to Jiangnan to surrender, the affairs of the six prefectures in Jiangnan have spread throughout the states. In addition, the local people are ignorant, and most of them are deceived by the fake Chu manifesto. The two Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang and Hangzhou have even lost the people and deserted the Xiang army.

Luo Ni built dozens of Jingguans on the south bank of the Yangtze River, which scared the Xingguo army to disperse all their fighting spirits, and deserters continued to stop for days..."

"Enough!"

Before Cao Can finished speaking, Zhao Heng raised his hand to stop, then closed his eyes and turned around in a daze, staggering towards the golden chair that seemed to have begun to dim.

"I understand Cao Qing's words, which means that my Song Dynasty has been exhausted, right?"

"No, no, no, no, your Majesty."

Cao Can was shocked and knelt down and said, "Although I have no talent for the prime minister, as long as your majesty gives orders, I am willing to promote the Japanese army. The two armies of the God Guard will immediately pull out the camp and go south. They will be crushed to pieces and bring Luo Ni's head back for my emperor."

"Pongri Sun, Shenwei?" Zhao Heng laughed bitterly: "The two armies are only 200,000. Does Cao Qing think it's enough? The court has already lost 200,000 yuan in Luo Ni's place.

Cough cough cough, cough cough, Luo Ni's foundation was still shallow at that time, but now he is getting richer, and millions of anti-civilians in the six states in Jiangnan hated the court to the core and was willing to fight for his life. Even if the two armies went south together, facing these millions of bandits, Cao Qing felt that he had a chance of winning?"

What this said is the right to be a passerby. What is the chance of winning? Zhao Heng dares not bet and dares not accept the consequences of Tokyo becoming an empty city after the two armies leave.

Zhao Heng knew all the officials of the court very well.

When the Khitan kowtowed to the south, there were only more than 100,000 troops. At that time, the central government had Weihu in the north, the two border troops in Ningbian borders had 100,000 troops, and Tokyo had 400,000 imperial guards. Regarding how powerful it was, Zhao Heng began to think about moving the capital to flee south, and Kou Weng asked the battle so much.

However, Kou Shi was not used to it, so he responded to the dynasty.

‘I am very sure’

This sentence forced Zhao Heng to no avail, so he had to agree to Kou Yan's request for battle.

Now the same problem has been left to Cao Can. Times have changed, how sure is Cao Can?

Speaking with conscience, Cao Can didn’t even have half of it!

The Central Imperial Guard sounds like a fool, but Cao Can, as the commander in front of the palace, knew very well that the tutor of the prosecutor was very clear about it.

In the Pangri, the Shenwu armies were organized by the cavalry army, which is the so-called cavalry army, but in fact there were only 94,000 horses in the entire army.

In terms of quantity and good and bad ratio, it is not even comparable to that during the Zhao Dajianlong period.

Where is the horse?

It’s not because the court can’t afford it.

Nearly 100,000 war horses can eat more than tens of thousands of big-headed soldiers. The court's finances seem to be extremely rich, but they have never been healthy, so the number and proportion of war horses are getting smaller and smaller.

In fact, the Song Dynasty did not lack horses, but there were many horses.

There were eleven horse-raising prisons in the Song Dynasty, namely Daming, Guangping, Qishui, Luoyang, Yuanwu, Shayuan, Anyang, Zhenning, Anguo, Chunze, and Shanzhen.

Among them, there are more than 200,000 horses in the four prisons of Luoyang, Yuanwu and Anyang Chunze in Henan Province. There are 16,038 soldiers in charge of raising horses. Why does the central government only hire 94,000 horses?

Not that the finances are in a hurry.

If you can afford it, the court would not want to train 200,000 elite cavalry troops, but in the end it would be because of lack of money.

There was no money, no soldiers, and the emperor was indecisive. He clearly wanted to destroy Luo Yongsheng, but when he got to that point, he was indecisive and did not dare to burn his way out to drive both armies out of Tokyo.

Who can win such a battle?

Cao Can looked at Zhao Heng, and as a minister, he could only sigh heavily.

Not as good as Taizu Taizong.
