【Xin Qiji was not aware of the ups and downs of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After receiving Zhao Gou's personal order in Lin'an, Xin Qiji happily went north again, intending to report the good news to his old boss Geng Jing.

As a result, when he arrived in Haizhou, he suddenly heard a thunderbolt that a rebellion had occurred within the Shandong righteous army.

The righteous army generals Zhang Anguo, Shao Jin and others murdered Geng Jing and raised the banner of surrendering to the Jin Dynasty.

Most people would be confused when encountering such a situation. After all, they had just received the emperor's appointment to set up the Tianping Army not long ago, but it turned out that the Tianping Army was going to be named Jin.

What to do?

But Xin Qiji was worthy of being Xin Qiji. He thought about it in Haizhou (now Lianyungang) and went to find the local Song army generals.

The request was simple, he wanted to borrow troops.

How much? The local Song generals in Haizhou were a little embarrassed.

Fifty cavalry is enough.

Xin Qiji, who was 23 years old at the time, was calm.

After all, he was no stranger to betrayal.

Facing the traitorous general, the only way was to sacrifice the loyal soul with blood!

Just like facing the Yiduan monk who betrayed him before, Xin Qiji also took the simplest and crudest solution, even though he had to face a huge army this time.

More than 50 riders traveled day and night, and after arriving in Jinan, Xin Qiji went straight to Zhang Anguo.

Yiduan monk, who was killed by Xin Qiji himself, personally certified that "you are a green rhinoceros who can kill people", which is why Xin Qiji dared to be so arrogant.

These were not clear to Zhang Anguo either. After all, Xin Qiji was only a secretary in the righteous army before. After riding alone to chase the enemy, he was sent south by Geng Jing. The other generals of the righteous army had no idea about this little brother.

Zhang Anguo, who indulged in wine and women and was negotiating prices between Song and Jin, probably couldn't understand where this young man got such divine power until he was tied to the horse.

Fifty flags were raised, and the rebels broke through the formation and bound the generals and went straight south.

The rebel camp did not stir until they saw the chief commander was captured, but the morale of the rebels had been lost after Geng Jing's death. Although there were 10,000 people left here, they were just mediocre people who wanted to get a good reward from the Jin people.

Under the leadership of Xin Qiji, more than 50 cavalry broke through the encirclement and swaggered towards Haizhou, where they came from. No one could stop them.

Zhang Anguo was presented as a captive to Jiankang, and was executed on the spot after the charges were read out.

With Geng Jing's betrayal and death, the rebels in Shandong were disbanded and could no longer be used, and Xin Qiji could only stay in the Southern Song court to serve the country.

In the Southern Song at that time, with Wanyan Liang's large-scale southern expedition and defeat, people like Xin Qiji who returned to the south were not uncommon.

For example, another fierce rebel, Wang Youzhi, also started a riot after Wanyan Liang's southern expedition. He led a team of more than 10,000 people to the south and conquered Daming Prefecture. After Wanyan Liang was defeated, he returned to the Song Dynasty with all his troops and was appointed as the governor of Tianxiong Army. He led his troops to reinforce Haizhou and defeated the Jin army, making the place successfully recovered.

So Xin Qiji was able to borrow fifty elite cavalry in Haizhou, and Wang Youzhi did contribute an invisible part.

As more and more people returned to the south, a famous sophistry broke out in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, Wanyan Gou had not yet abdicated. Zhang Jun, who advocated the Northern Expedition, submitted several petitions, requesting Wanyan Gou to move his troops to Jiankang to coordinate the Northern Expedition, and shouted out his own opinion:

The Central Plains has been trapped for a long time. If it is not taken now, heroes will rise up to take it back.

The prime minister Shi Hao, who was in charge of defense, opposed it and was very unimpressed by Zhang Jun's statement:

There are no heroes in the Central Plains. If there are, why don't they rise up and destroy the Jin?

Zhang Jun was speechless and argued: The people there have no weapons and cannot rise up on their own. They will wait for our troops to arrive as internal support.

Shi Hao looked down on him: Sheng and Guang used hoes and thorns to destroy Qin. They must wait for our troops. They are not heroes.

Judging from this debate, if Shi Hao were in our modern times, he would be a LV10 keyboard fighting master. He ignored Zhang Jun's words about the necessity of the Northern Expedition and just kept throwing tantrums over the word "hero".

And finally came to a speech that made Zhang Jun speechless:

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang cut wood for weapons and overthrew the Qin Dynasty. On the other hand, those in the Central Plains who are still waiting for the king's army are not heroes at all.

The debate between Zhang Jun and Shi Hao also had a great impact on the issue of whether "reformed people" such as Xin Qiji would stay in the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty. 】

"How can this Xin Qiji not be called a hero?"

"Even if we don't talk about Xin Qiji who broke through the battle formation with 50 riders, Wang Youzhi can lead the army to break through the state capital and open up the road to the south, so he can also be called a hero!"

Zhang Fei expressed that he couldn't understand.

Before Liu Bei could comfort him, he heard his brother-in-law angrily:

"If there were people like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the Southern Song Dynasty, your small Southern Song Dynasty court would not be able to escape!"

Liu Bei was speechless, and then smiled. He agreed with what his brother-in-law said this time.

Then Liu Bei also sighed:

"These two Song Dynasties... have never lacked generals? But why are they useless."

Although Xin Qiji's record seems exaggerated, for Liu Bei... can it be compared with my second brother stabbing Yan Liang in the midst of thousands of troops?

Therefore, he can not only accept it easily, but also guess other reasons.

The righteous army rises because of righteousness, and naturally it will collapse because of the end of righteousness.

Geng Jing raised the flag to rebel against Jin for righteousness, but this rebel general is called to stabilize the country but actually harms the country, which is unrighteous.

If the righteous army does not follow his orders, then even if there are 10,000 of them, they will be nothing more than chickens and dogs.

Xin Qiji, with more than 50 cavalrymen, rushed hundreds of miles and was full of vigor, and he was unstoppable.

If you think about it more deeply, Zhang Anguo's subordinates, who have invested a lot of money, may not even be able to raise fifty to ride out. How can they stop Xin Qiji?

Liu Bei couldn't help but recall the Yellow Turban Rebels he had seen when he was young.

If he lacks weapons, he cuts wood into spears. If he lacks armor, he drinks the talisman water to strengthen his courage. The only thing he relies on is righteousness and bravery, so that he can be used in all directions and be sharp and hard to break.

This move of Anguo just broke the sharpest spear tip of the rebel army. It is no wonder that the fifty elite cavalry can come and go freely.

Kong Ming also smiled and agreed:

"There are often people who recommend themselves to Mao Sui, but there are very few who can stand out from others like Mr. Pingyuan."

From this, Kong Ming remembered a word that later generations often said when they evaluated Li Erfeng: being open-minded and accepting advice.

Hearing what the military advisor said, Zhang Fei immediately became proud:

"That's right, my eldest brother has always known how to recognize people."

Liu Bei touched his beard and looked at his third brother. Although he knew that his sworn brother was probably talking about his friendship with Kong Ming, but thinking about Mi Fang and Shiren who caused his second brother's death, they couldn't be said to be wise in any way.

Sighing quietly, he met his sworn brother's sincere eyes, which made Liu Bei a little panicked. He was so familiar with this look.

"One hundred thousand..."

"shut up!"

Before the third brother could speak, Liu Bei stopped it first, so Zhang Fei, who still wanted to comfort his brother, could only sigh helplessly.

Lu Su, who was almost affected, didn't realize it. He looked at the light screen seriously and frowned slightly:

"If you return to the south, you will return to the south. What does this return to the righteous mean?"

He had heard Kong Ming talk about what happened to the Tang Dynasty's Guiyi Army.

It was meant to be a compliment, but in reality it was a derogatory statement. Could it be that the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to do it again?
