Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Lieutenant Gao would kill someone if he disagreed with him, which made the Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng a little stunned.

This was not about beheading one or two people, but dozens of officers.

Bi Sheng was not a religious man, but such killings still made him a little scared.

Especially when he saw that some of the officers were still injured. It was obvious that they were injuries caused by fighting with the Su Xia army. As a fellow soldier, he certainly understood how difficult it was.

He quickly confirmed to Captain Gao: "Lieutenant, are we really going to kill them all?"

"According to our military discipline of the Song Dynasty, these officers refused to resist and were ineffective in fighting. They should all be executed."

"Lieutenant Gao, we are wronged, we are wronged, Su Xia has too many soldiers."

Gao Qiu already didn't want to keep them alive, "Everyone who comes here will be tied up by me. I tell you, soldiers, you must have backbone! Anyone who surrenders to Su Xia or does not resist will die!"

The escorted Forbidden Army officers were still arguing, but Gao Qiu no longer wanted to hear what they had to say. He looked coldly at the culprit of this matter--Colonel Liang, who had not investigated the situation to determine the authenticity.

The low-level officer was still trying to defend himself, but he confirmed that Lieutenant Gao did not want them to live.

Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng drew out his sword, aimed at Colonel Liang's neck, and slashed directly.

With a scream, Lieutenant Liang's head and body were separated, and blood was sprayed on the ground. Such a tragic situation made people feel horrified.

Bi Sheng felt cruel and commanded his soldiers: "What are you still doing? Firing squad, advance!"

In full view of tens of thousands of imperial troops from Songcheng County.

Thirty members of the execution team could not escape. Two of them grabbed an officer and dragged him to a wasteland. They dragged his body and beheaded one of them.

"Ready, chop!"

Gollum.

Ten heads fell to the ground.

"Second batch, go!"

The execution team ran over again and dragged another group of officers to the place where they had just killed the people.

Click, click, click.

Another ten heads fell to the ground!

Unable to find Su Xia to take revenge, Gao Qiu took out his anger on the group of Forbidden Army officers who refused to resist and killed more than 30 officers above the rank of squad leader in one go.

The nearly [-] Forbidden Army soldiers present could not help but tremble with fear, and gasped at the bloody scene.

Gao Qiu stood up: "You have all seen that these people are the result of non-resistance. Regardless of whether you are the commander of the front department or the officers of the Xiang army, whoever dares to surrender to Su Xia or does not resist will be executed!"

Gao Qiu killed more than 30 people in a row, and some of the Forbidden Army officers under him almost peed their pants.

Su Xia led his army back to his own sphere of influence overnight. On the other side, Su Xia decided to use counterfeit banknotes to replace the real "Jiaozi (paper banknotes from the Northern Song Dynasty)" to destroy Zhao Ji's economic market and let the Northern Song Dynasty The economic order collapsed and it was impossible to mobilize the army to fight against itself.

(See Chapter 128 for details)

Zhao Ji had just sent Gao Qiu to pursue Su Xia's army in Songcheng County. The imperial newspaper here told him the second news that made him collapse: Sichuan line of thought, including Yizhou (Chengdu), Zizhou (Santai), Lizhou ( Hanzhong), Fengjie (these four positions are now Sichuan, at that time the Song Dynasty called this area Sichuan Xia Si Road), and a large number of Jiaozi appeared at the same time.

These inexplicable Jiaozi exchanged a large amount of silver and iron money in a short period of time. At present, the Chengdu Mansion has no money available and order has collapsed, so it was reported to the court.

Zhao Ji felt bad when he heard the news. Although he was a fool, at least he was not an idiot. He understood that someone must be causing trouble, either a shocking case or a thief.

Thinking of this, he immediately summoned his servant Lang, Zhongshu's minister, Zhujin Ziguanglu, the Privy Councilor, and other officials to discuss the matter.

This can't help but be divided into two ideas. One is that Su Yuanjing, Zhang Shuye and others believe that this matter should be related to Xixia. After all, Chengdu is not very far away from there.

The other group was led by Master Cai. They thought they were gangsters or thieves, so they suggested sending a few censors and criminal officials to the scene to check.

Both of these guesses were wrong, which made Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who was sitting in the Jinluan Palace, more and more unable to sit still. He "stood up" and said, "There are internal and external troubles. Can't you, gentlemen, solve these problems?" "

Taishi Cai reported: "Your Majesty, please wait until Taiwei Gao brings his people back to see what's going on in Songcheng County."

Just as he was talking, a young eunuch hurriedly said: "Captain Gao is here!"

Everyone turned around and saw that Gao Qiu had changed his clothes, but his eyes were bloodshot and he looked like he was dusty. They bowed to Song Huizong and said, "My minister, Gao Qiu, has something to report!"

"Gao Qing has just returned from the front line. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, the Su Xia army in Songcheng County has been defeated by my heavenly troops. Songcheng County has been lost and recovered. Dozens of people who were unable to fight effectively have been executed by me according to regulations..."

Gao Qiu mentioned that he had defeated Su Xiajun, which made Su Taiwei on the side feel a little disdainful.

He was not from Su Xia's point of view, but he felt that Su Xia's army would not be defeated easily due to its combat effectiveness.

He had seen Su Xia's combat effectiveness with his own eyes. The combat effectiveness of Ping Haijun and Cheng Haijun almost exceeded the combat effectiveness of any Song Army forbidden army he had ever seen!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but report: "Your Majesty, I have something unclear. Since the Su Xia army has been defeated by Captain Gao, I would like to ask how many heads were captured by Captain Gao and his men."

Gao Qiu's expression changed: "This..."

"I'm afraid someone occupied Songcheng County, robbed all military supplies, and left this empty city for us."

The Su Taiwei Dao understood the essence of the matter, which made Gao Qiu extremely dissatisfied.

Taishi Cai's eyes changed at the side and said: "Taiwei Su, don't try to gain the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige!"

"I'm just clarifying the reality!"

Taiwei Su said this, which made Taishi Cai on the side a little embarrassed: "Liu Taiwei, don't forget that you inspected Su Xia's military camp a year ago. At that time, Su Xia had not rebelled. He was Ping Haijun and Cheng Haijun. The commander-in-chief of both armies, if you hadn't recommended it to the officials, how could he have established his own armed forces in Dengzhou and Qingzhou!"

Cai Jing placed the "crimes" of Su Xia's rebellion on Su Yuanjing, which made the honest and loyal Su Taiwei not know what to say. He just blushed: "You are using strong words to make excuses, strong words!"

Seeing that his side had won the right to speak, a minister behind Gao Qiu, Li Bangyan, known as the "Prodigal Prime Minister", also came up and said: "Taishi Cai is absolutely right. Taiwei Su went to the camp in person at that time. Could it be that there was no Do you see Su Xia’s intention to rebel?”

Seeing the quarrel among the ministers below, Song Huizong Zhao Ji shouted angrily: "Shut up, shut up, don't you think it's not chaotic enough?"

Zhao Ji became so angry that the court broke up in unhappiness!

The Northern Song Dynasty was different from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Generally, the emperor was not called Long Live Lord or anything like that.

Therefore, if someone sees in a novel that the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty is called "Long Live Long Live, Long Live Lord" or something like that, it is purely written by the author of [-].

During the Northern Song Dynasty, when going to court, the emperor would sit and those below him would stand. There was no such thing as sitting on the throne and kneeling below.

Before, it was even the case that the emperor was sitting on top and the ministers were sitting below.

Therefore, although Zhao Ji was angry, he didn't have the ability to chop off the heads of ministers just because he said he was unhappy. This would only make these ministers shut up!
