Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Shi Congyun nodded, patted his head and got up to eat, feeling that something was wrong.

But the mood is very comfortable!

This is the legend of walking the road of others, leaving others with no way to go!After several months of hard work, he actually gave Zhao Kuangyin's way!

I don't know if Lao Zhao will fall to his death, but he probably couldn't imagine that he would steal his way.

After all, apart from him, no one knows what path Lao Zhao has traveled.

It's just... Shi Congyun slowly frowned as he thought about it, shit!If you follow Lao Zhao's path, then wouldn't he...

Thinking of a solution, I hurriedly shook my head to throw some terrifying and unrealistic thoughts out of my head, boy, your thoughts are very dangerous!

Instead of thinking about that, he would rather want to sleep with other people's wives, and let others sleep without wives. This dangerous idea.

It's better than thinking about those terrifying thoughts that could make him wipe out the three clans at any time.

......

The next day, the official decree was issued and passed down through the Privy Council, and the purge of the forbidden army began. .

The decree is complicated and there are many official announcements from the Privy Council, but Shi Congyun sums it up in two points.

First of all, the guards and pro-military divisions and the forbidden troops of the military divisions in front of the palace were assessed. The main tests were strength, force, and skills (such as bow and arrow, riding), and the old and weak were excluded. The main test was Shi Yanchao and Xiang Xun.

In addition, recruit warriors from all over the world and supplement them to the army in front of the palace. Recruiting people cannot be nepotism as before, but also through assessment.

The person in charge of these two matters is Shi Yanchao, with Xiang Xun as his deputy, all the generals and soldiers of the forbidden army must obey the arrangement and be ready for dispatch.

Chapter 61: Quietly Arrange for Old Zhao

The officials have made up their minds to carry out a massive, serious and thorough army reorganization to turn the Great Zhou Imperial Army into a true elite division!

This matter has caused uproar in the city, and everyone knows it.

The timing of the official selection was just right.

At this time, Gao Ping won a new victory, and Da Zhou's reputation spread far and wide, deterring the Quartet, and the surrounding foreign countries did not dare to take the initiative to take action.

At this time, he started to rectify the forbidden army, and the time was very accurate.

If there is no Jiwei in the first battle of Gaoping, and blindly and boldly reform the forbidden army, what will happen when the Northern Han or the Khitan come to kill?What should I do if there are changes in neighboring countries such as Southern Tang and Later Shu?

(Let me say it again. At this time, people must call them Shu Kingdom, Tang Dynasty, etc., and they will not use the words "later" and "south" to distinguish them. It was added by historians, but in order for readers to understand, the author did not write them. added distinction)

I have to admire the fact that the official family is really rough and meticulous. He dares to make drastic internal reforms and deal with external wars in a wide-ranging manner, but he has a good grasp of the details.

Of course, this also benefited from Li Gu, Wei Renpu, Wang Pu, Wang Pu and others around the official family. They must have contributed a lot.

......

A few days later, a large-scale rectification of the examination schools kicked off in various military camps and schools in the north of the imperial city, and the soldiers in the inner hall were also very nervous.

Some of the soldiers in the inner hall came in through relationships. The purpose was to mix the army and eat military rations. Most of them were descendants of military generals, so many people came in.

However, the officials have given a clear attitude. The weak soldiers who come into the relationship should not be tolerated. Only a hundred households can support one soldier, not these wastes, and it is necessary to reduce the burden on the people of the world.

Therefore, it is meaningless to be nervous. The government's determination has been made, and the general trend is irresistible. The school exam will come soon.

Shi Yanchao personally presided over the school examination of the inner hall.

That afternoon, Shi Congyun was ordered to gather all the people in the inner hall on the school grounds.

After a while, Shi Yanchao, dressed in tight silver and black armor, with a horizontal knife on his waist, stood on the high platform with a height of more than 1.9 meters. out.

Shi Congyun stood below and looked at the old man on the stage. Although words such as aura were more metaphysical, the suffocating aura and pressure on the No. [-] General of the Great Zhou, even his own son could clearly feel it. .

That kind of feeling is more likely to be psychological. The intellectual history from Yun Yun knew that no matter how fierce the old man was, he would be more vicious if he was besieged by many people, but when he went to that station, he seemed to have an unstoppable momentum.

This is like the cavalry of the forbidden army. The same group of people, led by many generals, did not even have the courage to face the Khitan iron cavalry, but as long as Shi Yanchao led it, they could defeat the Khitan repeatedly.

The truth is so unreasonable most of the time...

Shi Yanchao, with a few personal soldiers as his deputy, accompanied Xiang Xun with fine scale armor.

The content of the exam is not very harsh, it is a test of physical strength and skills, and ordinary soldiers can pass it with all their might.

However, some old and weak people who have entered the relationship are difficult to complete.

Some people have already prepared a lot of small actions for this, most of which are to run to the Shifu, hoping to establish a relationship.

As a result, Shi Yanchao personally took action and threw a soldier with gold and silver belongings to the street outside the door, unable to get out of bed.

After the news spread, no one dared to run to the gate of the Shifu.

……

Nei Dianzhi's school examination took two days under the auspices of Shi Yanchao.

By the end of the school examination, there were 500 people in the inner hall originally with 320 people, and there were only 870 people left in the inner hall.

More people were screened out than Shi Congyun imagined. Shi Yanchao was ruthless, and he didn't give face to anyone, and it was useless for others to ask for it.

Some even cried and said how difficult it was at home, and a few people waited for the army's salaries to eat, hoping to make a difference.

The words are so touching and touching that those who hear them are sad and those who see them cry.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in troubled times, and even flooded.

However, Shi Yanchao didn't care at all, he directly ignored all kinds of pleas, let his personal soldiers blast them out, and threw them out of the school grounds without leaving, waiting for follow-up processing.

The drastic and resolute measures and the stern and cold attitude made many people feel terrified.

Shi Yanchao, the number one general of Zhou, has a reputation for killing people on the battlefield without blinking an eye.

……

One day after the school exam was over, more than 300 elite soldiers led by the former Shi Congyun under the bodyguard Silong Jiejun and who had fought in Shanxi together were all transferred to the inner palace!

Shi Yanchao was appointed as the chief officer of the official family. In addition to purging and screening the forbidden army, he was also responsible for adjusting the strength of the forbidden army.

The official family hoped that the front division of the palace would become stronger and check and balance with the guard division, so some changes and scheduling were allowed to Shi Yanchao to decide on his own, as long as the scheduling did not exceed the senior generals who commanded the upper ranks.

For further adjustments, the officials will nod their heads.

This is often the case. There is no innocence in the world. It only depends on what people say with one mouth. There are many ambiguous boundaries, and smart people will make a fuss among them.

Taking advantage of these, Shi Congyun used his father's relationship to get more than 300 of his own soldiers to his side, and also got Wang Zhong and Shao Ji the positions of commanding the first and second battalions of the Inner Palace. It is the straight head of the inner hall.

In the next two days, Shi Congyun took advantage of this panic and relied on his father's remaining prestige to place more than 300 soldiers of the old army in each capital and battalion.

So far, the inner hall has become an army under his complete control.

......

The purging of the forbidden army goes from high to low, from the inside to the outside, so as a tour of the imperial city, the inner palace of the emperor's pro-army is the first to start, and then it continues.

After more than a month, by mid-October, the internal cleaning of the forbidden army was basically completed. Shi Yanchao ran around inside and outside Daliang City, between the various military camps, and was almost too busy to touch the ground. He would only go home at night.

Over the course of a month, the combined armies of the Imperial Army eliminated more than 6000 old and weak soldiers.

Most of these people are assigned to logistical positions, such as military supporters and auxiliary soldiers.There are also those who are really unbearable and directly send some money to settle down and then drive away.

There is also some balance between the soldiers of the two divisions.

The guards of the generals and generals of the army transferred some veteran generals to the front division of the palace.After that, Shi Yanchao was in charge of recruiting brave men from all over the world, and added to the front division of the palace, so that the former division of the palace, which had few people, was basically equivalent to the guard division.

......

The inner hall directly serves as the army of the emperor, and it is also the facade of the Tianjia. The minister of the Privy Council requires that it must be increased to the full.

So some people were transferred from other armies.On the [-]th day of October, Shi Congyun went to the school grounds to recognize people. About [-] people came. They were all powerful and tall.

The person who led them was Luo Yanhuan, a burly man in his early thirties, about 1.8 meters tall, who was originally the demoted Dengzhou coach. It was said that his friend or boss had a feud with the immortal Guo Wei and was demoted.

Hearing that the official family re-introduced the talents of generals and recruited brave men from all over the world, so he came to Daliang again, and was valued by Shi Yanchao, so he asked him to come to the inner hall to supplement.

Luo Yanhuan was very positive and straightforward, and Shi Congyun also felt that this person was good, so he let him be the leader under Wang Zhong.

Shi Congyun scattered the newcomers and asked Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, and Dong Zunhui to lead them.

Because they are newcomers, they are like a blank sheet of paper, with the least basic relationship and the easiest to become confidants.

The current inner hall has made Shi Congyun very satisfied.

He heard that there was going to be a war after the new year, and the officials wanted to fight Houshu, but he didn't know if it was true or not, whether he would go to the battlefield, so Shi Congyun never relaxed for a moment.

Regarding Houshu, he had only heard of Mrs. Huarui's beautiful name, and the extremely insulting poem "14 people were disarmed, and none of them was a man".

......

There are still a few months left, and Shi Congyun is thinking about making the best use of the resources that can be used.

Shi Yanchao cleaned up the Imperial Army, giving Shi Congyun the first opportunity to participate in the decision-making of major matters in the Dazhou country!

In the past, he didn't even have a chance to interrupt, or let alone interrupt, he didn't even have a chance to listen to this kind of major event, especially the major change in the senior personnel of the two military divisions.

Now that the old man is in charge, he is close to the water tower, and he has the opportunity to speak "slander".

Speaking of slander, Shi Congyun immediately came to his senses!

As a teacher, being eloquent is a basic skill, which is a dual-purpose magic skill.

After that, as soon as Dad came back every night, he took the opportunity to talk to Dad, and in this way, he would influence major national decisions.

To be reasonable, Dad's ten brains can't tell him.

The first thing Shi Congyun did was to suggest to his father to exchange Gao Huaide, the commander of the right wing of the Iron Cavalry Army in front of the palace, and Zhao Hongyin, the commander of the right wing of the Long Jie Army.

The reason he told Shi Yanchao was that they were both cavalry generals, Long Jie and Iron Cavalry were both elite cavalry troops, and Gao Huaide had a good relationship with his father, so they should avoid suspicion, not all in front of the palace.

After hearing this, Dad thought it was reasonable, and did not make a decision immediately. He came back the next night and gave permission.

In fact, Shi Congyun's fundamental purpose is to let the guards and the front division have "persons of their own". With Gao Huaide's friendship with his father, he is in the guards. As long as the guards have troubles, he can inquire about it. This trick is related to Zhao Kuangyin in his previous life Learned.

Before Lao Zhao usurped the throne, the two generals of the guards and the front of the palace were his brothers and friends.

But this is only the first layer, there is a second layer.

The second floor is to take the opportunity to transfer Zhao Hongyin to the front office of the palace. Zhao Hongyin is Zhao Kuangyin's father, so he must be under his eyes and rest assured. If it is a last resort, maybe he can find faults in Zhao Hongyin and pull Zhao Kuangyin into the water.

Shi Congyun remembered that after the battle of Gaoping, Zhao Kuangyin did not immediately become the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, but was given the title for the purpose of purging the forbidden army.

Now that Shi Yanchao has intercepted the work of purging the forbidden army, Zhao Kuangyin is no longer the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, but the Marquis of Yu in Hedu, and his influence and power have been greatly reduced.

Shi Congyun is not going to let Lao Zhao go. Since he can't be the same way, he must be on guard everywhere, it is best to kill him!He thought viciously in his heart.

The sense of oppression that Lao Zhao gave him was too strong, making him restless all the time, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.

He also proposed to his father to exchange the positions of Han Lingkun and Zhao Kuangyin, on the grounds that Han Lingkun was a veteran of leading troops and a strong general, and Zhao Kuangyin was from an official family and a military general, and his experience was not as good as that of Han Lingkun.

To balance the strength of the two divisions, the veteran Han Lingkun should be transferred to the front division of the palace, and Zhao Kuangyin should be transferred to the guard division.

Dad did not agree immediately, and continued to go out to work the next day. Shi Congyun nagged for several days, and finally Shi Yanchao agreed.

Shi Congyun knew that the old man definitely did not make his own decision, but went to the palace to ask the official's family. After all, even though the official family said it was accurate, he didn't dare to make an opinion.

He is equivalent to giving reasons that can persuade the official family, and using Shi Yanchao's mouth to persuade the official family.

In this wave, Shi Congyun also has his own considerations, and it is not the reason why he said those high-sounding reasons.

Zhao Kuangyin's biggest backstage is Zhang Yongde.Zhang Yongde is the number one in the front of the palace. If Zhao Kuangyin is transferred from the front of the palace to the guards and the troops, then the distance between him and Zhang Yongde will be far away!

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, because the relationship between people will gradually fade as long as there is no communication. Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin have a good relationship, but as long as they are separated and there is no chance to communicate, it will gradually fade... ...

Shi Congyun was secretly proud in his heart, and he quietly arranged for Lao Zhao, I was afraid that Lao Zhao would not know which treachery wanted to harm him in the end.

......

Some people are happy and some are sad, and the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

"This time it's someone who is incompetent, brother, you have such talent but you can't reuse it, hey..." Zhang Yongde sighed and took a sip from his glass.

Opposite him sat a dark man with a powerful Confucius and Wu, and it was Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin also frowned at this time, and he was in a bad mood. The original Sidu Yuhou in front of the palace became the control of Hedu Yuhou, and then he issued an order to guard Silongjie Jun as Du Yuhou.

The psychological gap is inevitable, not to mention that Zhang Yongde has promised before.

But the matter has come to this point, Zhao Kuangyin is not an unreasonable person, it is Li Gu who comes out to speak, and Zhang Yongde can't do anything about it.

Zhang Yongde comforted him while drinking: "However, Long Jiejun is also an elite soldier. You are not a condescending talent when you go there. There are still many opportunities to display your ambitions in the future."

Zhao Kuangyin laughed and had to nod his head. He picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip. How could this wine be tasteless.

Only he knew the bitterness in his heart. It was nothing to go to Longjie Jundao, but Zhang Yongde was the best senior military general and the leader of the front office.
