As soon as Yang Zaixing said this, the court was stunned. Many people had a look of disbelief on their faces.
Li Ruoshui and the other loyal officials were anxious.
In their opinion, this was clearly a trap set up by Zhao Gou and the others for Yang Zaixing, but Yang Zaixing was hot-blooded and took the initiative to fall into it!
Even Tong Guan, who had been through hundreds of battles, did not dare to deal with the Liangshan bandits. How could Yang Zaixing's army, which had just taken over and was not even united, succeed?
Once Yang Zaixing failed to conquer Liangshan, Majesty Kang, Zhao Gou, and the others would take the opportunity to make trouble. They would naturally dismiss Yang Zaixing from his position and the military power that he had just obtained, weakening Emperor Zhao Heng's power!
As for Zhao Gou, he was so happy that his snot was about to pop out.
He did not expect Yang Zaixing to be so " sensible ".
In order to block Yang Zaixing's retreat, Zhao Gou deliberately mocked,""Although General Yang's martial strength is peerless, there are also some ferocious experts among the bandits of Liangshan.
With just the ten thousand men under General Yang and the unfamiliar Upper Four Armies, they probably weren't a match for him.”
How could Yang Zaixing not see through Zhao Gou's goading?
However, he didn't expose Zhao Gou. Instead, he patted his chest arrogantly and said,""I will definitely sweep Liangshan and kill the bandit leader Song Jiang!”
Zhao Heng, who was sitting on the throne, was worried that Yang Zaixing would fall for Zhao Gou's provocation.
However, he saw Yang Zaixing giving him a meaningful look.
Zhao Heng suddenly felt lucky. He gritted his teeth and said,"Good! At the critical moment, you still have to rely on my Great General!
The Great General will immediately set out, and all the Great Song troops along the way will be at the Great General's disposal!
I will definitely reward you handsomely if you wipe out the bandits of Liangshan!”
Zhao Heng understood that Yang Zaixing was helping him.
After all, Tong Guan and Zhao Gou were unwilling to send troops because they were dissatisfied with Zhao Heng's arrangement and wanted to force him to hand over the Upper Four Armies to them.
However, Zhao Heng had already experienced the humiliation of Jingkang, so he could not hand over the Upper Four Armies to unreliable people like Tong Guan and Zhao Gou.
He even wanted to take over the military power of these guys and hand it all over to Yang Zaixing, whom he trusted.
Although Zhao Heng was worried about Yang Zaixing's request, he agreed immediately.
At the very least, the bandits at Liangshan Lake still needed to be conquered.
When Zhao Heng was still the Crown Prince, he had seen the uprising in Jiangnan. It was not taken seriously at the beginning, but it gradually swept through hundreds of counties in the southeast!
Zhao Heng would never make the same mistake as his father, Zhao Ji!
In fact, the bandits in Liangshan Lake were the burden his father, Zhao Ji, had left for him!
"Humph! Little brat, you don't know the power of the Liangshan bandits. Sooner or later, you will regret it!”
Beside Yang Zaixing, the old fox Tong Guan's expression was calm as usual, but he was secretly contemptuous in his heart.
As for Majesty Kang, Zhao Gou, he was waiting to see Yang Zaixing make a fool of himself.
Yang Zaixing ignored their expressions. He cupped his hands at Zhao Heng and left the hall with his General Sword Seal.
Outside the main hall, Yang Zaixing picked up Gao Qiu, who had been taken into custody, like a little chick.
Since he was about to set off, he naturally had to use Gao Qiu's head as a sacrifice to inspire the Imperial Army in the west of the capital and intimidate the soldiers of the four armies!
"General, how is it?"
As soon as they left the Xuande Tower of the Imperial City, Zhang Ping, Chen Tingli, and the other soldiers came up to them with eager expressions.
When they saw the dying Gao Qiu in Yang Zaixing's hands, they immediately understood what was going on and cheered.
"Stop for this daddy first. Reorganize and set off for the 4th army camp!”
Yang Zaixing glared at Zhang Ping and Chen Tingli and scolded them with a smile.
Zhang Ping didn't understand Yang Zaixing's intention. On the contrary, Chen Tingli's eyes jumped and he was overjoyed."Gao Qiu has been toppled. Does this mean that General will be in charge of the four armies from now on?”
Yang Zaixing smiled." That's right. Not only am I in charge of the Upper Four Armies, but I will also lead you and the Upper Four Armies to conquer Liangshan!"
Are you afraid?"
Zhang Ping, Chen Tingli, and the others immediately shook their heads. Their faces were flushed with excitement.
Although they had only been under Yang Zaixing's command for a few days, they were deeply impressed by Yang Zaixing's magnanimity and character. Yang Zaixing even taught the Yang Family Spear Quintessence and God-level Archery Quintessence to these soldiers.
It could be said that at this moment, not only were they not afraid of war, they were actually looking forward to it!
Because only then could he gain battle merits and seal his wife and children!
Not long after, east of Bianliang City, in the camp of the upper four armies.
Yang Zaixing led his 10,000-strong army here and immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers of the upper four armies.
At this moment, they still did not know what was happening in the imperial court.
"I, Yang Zaixing, am the Great General of the Country who controls the Pixiu!
From today onwards, the soldiers of the upper four armies will be under my control!
Follow me to attack the bandits of Liangshan and make contributions to the country!”
As soon as Yang Zaixing said this, the soldiers of the Upper Four Armies were stunned.
"The general of my Japanese army is General Han Zongwu. May I ask where General Han is?”
"The commander of the Dragon Martial Army is General Wang Xianchen. Where is General Wang?”
"Our Upper Four Armies have always been under Grand Commandant Gao's command. May I ask if you have Grand Commandant Gao's letter?”
Some of the generals from the upper four armies asked in bewilderment.
Some of Gao Qiu's trusted aides in the army took advantage of the situation to make a ruckus.
Yang Zaixing had already expected this scene. He waved his hand indifferently and said,"Men, bring up the old thief Gao Qiu who brought calamity to the country and the people!”
With a shout, two soldiers from the West Capital Imperial Army escorted a figure in a blood-stained purple official robe to the side of the drill ground.
When the soldiers of the upper four armies saw this, they were instantly shocked!
"Isn't this Commandant Gao?"
"That's right, it's Grand Commandant Gao. How did he become like this?”
Yang Zaixing glanced at the soldiers of the Fourth Army and shouted,""The old thief Gao Qiu embezzled military pay, enslaved soldiers, and brought disaster to the country and people. He has been dismissed by His Majesty and should be beheaded according to the law!
The ten or so generals and deputy generals of the upper four armies are sick and have been ordered to return home to retire!
From this moment on, I will be the commander of all of you!
Today, I will use Gao Qiu's head as a sacrifice to the army!”
Yang Zaixing said firmly and waved his arm abruptly."Slash!"
" Kill!" Seeing this, Zhang Ping, the military judge below the stage, shouted and raised the saber in his hand, beheading Gao Qiu, who was on his last breath!
The head rolled into the drill ground. At this moment, the camp of the upper four armies was completely silent.
Gao Qiu, who had held power in the court and the army for decades, was killed by the young general in front of them. Everyone was shocked and afraid!
"Greetings, Great General!"
At this moment, the soldiers of the Upper Four Armies bowed to Yang Zaixing.
Seeing this, Yang Zaixing nodded solemnly and waved his hand.""All troops, listen to my orders. Set off immediately to attack Liangshan!”
