After entering April, Xiao Tula, the commander in charge of conquering the Qidan Guangfu Army, was as anxious as a cat on pins and needles all day. It was difficult to destroy the Qidan Guangfu Army and the emperor Yan Hongliang, and they were in a hurry.

On the other hand, Zhao Kaishan’s control area is also very unstable, and Zhao Kaishan’s mood is even worse
Although Zhao Kaishan won the Daming Mansion, he was forced to retreat after losing in Kaifeng War.
Kaifeng lost nearly ten thousand soldiers, not to mention a lot of materials and logistics warehouses.
Not only that, Jeju, Tengzhou and Xuzhou in the rear area were in a mess, and the logistics personnel suffered heavy losses. For quite some time, his rear area had already supported him to attack again.
He must stop fighting and support the people, or he will face the collapse of his rule.
Moreover, due to the fact that the former 8 Jin Army commandos raided several states in the rear, the order was completely disrupted, and many landlords and powerful families’ manors were also damaged and suffered heavy losses. Some people who were dissatisfied with Zhao Kaishan also took the opportunity to wave flags and try to make trouble.
More importantly, some soldiers of the Guangfu Army who live in Jeju, Tengzhou, Xuzhou and other places know that their hometown has been looted and destroyed, and the influence in the disgruntled army is extremely bad.
So are soldiers and so are officers.
Born in three States, the officers at all levels were indignant and asked Zhao Kaishan to give them a statement.
These people are not only from civilians, but also from landlords and powerful families. Their family interests have been damaged. They are like cats that have been trampled on. Of course, they need to ask Zhao Kaishan for an explanation.
Because this wave was too intense, Zhao Kaishan was forced to return to his lair, Yizhou, and then he was forced to compromise with this force in the army and promised to compensate them to calm down the incident.
Where does the compensation come from?
Zhao Kaishan was captured in the former war, but now he needs his own achievements to compensate the damaged people, otherwise the situation will be very serious.
Not to mention that this compensation will make Zhao Kaishan’s flesh ache unbearable. Is it just compensation or not enough?
He also needs a scapegoat-a scapegoat who can transfer the anger of the army, the government and the people-to take all the blame instead of himself.
General Zhao Kaishan can’t be the scapegoat himself, and he can’t blame himself. Otherwise, his leading position will be unstable. It’s hard to say whether the Guangfu Army will continue to be surnamed Zhao.
Thinking about Zhao Kaishan, I didn’t think of who to be the scapegoat, so I asked Zhao Xiang, the only one who could ask after losing Zhao Liang.
Zhao Xiang’s opinion is simple.
week
It was his failure to counterattack Cao Zhou and Danzhou successfully, to save Cao Zhou and Danzhou logistics base, and to further lead to the tragedy of Sanzhou. It was best for him to be punished for failing to finish what Zhao Kaishan gave him.
Zhao Kaishan hesitated about this.
"Although Zhou didn’t successfully recover Cao Zhou and Shanzhou, no one thought of the gold thief’s raid, and Zhou also built a pontoon bridge to defend the pontoon bridge army behind the house to repel the gold thief’s pursuer and protect the main force. The most merits and demerits are not penalized."
Zhao Xiang’s face is bitter and sighs repeatedly.
"Brother, it’s not time to think about these issues. If you don’t punish Zhou, those people will ask your brother to blame you. It’s not reasonable. It’s time to solve the crisis. No one is more suitable to be a scapegoat than Zhou!"
Zhao Kaishan was silent for a long time and then said, "Zhou has been loyal to me for a long time. Will I let him down if I punish him?"
"Since he is loyal, he should continue to be loyal to his brother to take the fall!"
Zhao Xiang firmly said, "If he doesn’t take the rap, it will be endless. Someone must be responsible for this defeat! Who is more suitable if it is not Zhou or his brother himself? "
Zhao Kaishan didn’t speak
After a long time, Zhao Kaishan recognized the situation and finally did not continue to insist on the default Zhao Xiang strategy, so he decided to give full play to his overall artistic ability and bring disaster to the east, pointing the finger at Zhou and letting Zhou be his scapegoat
He publicly accused Zhou of failing to protect the rear, which caused the army to fall short when it was 20 miles away from Kaifeng.
It’s Zhou fault that the army failed!
And then threw Monday Lu directly into prison for further treatment.
Next, it depends on whether the public opinion is fierce. If it is fierce, Zhou born to die
If it’s not intense, maybe Zhou Zhi can spare his life.
Yu Youjun’s position as the commanding officer was taken over by Zhou Lieutenant and Zhao Ran, a brother of the Zhao clan, but the change was very small.
Zhao Kaishan threw the pot department to Zhou as soon as he made a move, and threw him into prison, which made many people think that some shouting opponents were at a loss.
So the political crisis of the Guangfu Military Department was temporarily suppressed.
But the crisis is far from being completely subsided.
Whether Zhou is the main person to blame or not, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts and agrees that Zhou is not the most direct person to blame.
However, Zhao Kaishan directly abandoned Li Gongzhou in the face of crisis, and he still had to be punished, which made many generals and officers with physical names feel chilling.
They began to doubt Zhao Kaishan’s moral integrity and whether Zhao Kaishan could really lead them on.
And …
Then something similar happens. Who is the scapegoat?
Anyway, it won’t be Zhao Kaishan himself.
So who could it be?
There is an atmosphere of doubt and disbelief about Zhao Kaishan in the army.
Chapter 297 When caught.
This unbelief atmosphere in the army was detected by Zhao Kaishan, and Zhao Kaishan also heard about it.
To be precise, he arranged for the officers of the Zhao clan of various armies to inform him of some middle and low-ranking officers, but he spoke privately to senior generals.
In the early days, he once asked Zhao Liang to select some Zhao family members and stuff them into the army. Even if he could not take the post, he could also take the post of deputy to play a supervisory role.
Later, I simply ordered the prison army to muzzle the non-Zhao clan generals.
These people not only have the duty to limit the strength of non-Zhao clan officers, but also have the duty to inform Zhao Liang of their outrageous remarks.
These remarks will be summarized by Zhao Liang and then notified to him by Zhao Liang.
So Zhao Liang is not only his military assistant, but also his important assistant in the normal army.
After Zhao Liang was made by Zhao Kaihe, Zhao Kaishan would be particularly unhappy.
After the fall of Zhao Liang, these information channels directly pointed to Zhao Kaishan, which increased Zhao Kaishan’s workload and made Zhao Kaishan feel that the situation was not good.
Many officers have great opinions about this military operation.
For example, Chen Qiaoshan privately told his cronies that Zhao Kaishan was very reckless in this military operation and did not listen to people’s advice.
There is no need to attack the roots of Nanle County. If you want to surround it, you can go directly to the Daming Mansion. Why do you still cause so many casualties?
After the casualties were so great and the results were so small, the army was particularly tired. It was even worse to open the seal without a good rest, and it was hard to bring it out. The elite lost almost half of it. How much loss is this?
Li Xiao also privately expressed dissatisfaction with Zhao Kaishan’s forced recruitment of able-bodied men
He thinks that it is exactly the same as Jin Guo, which is a great loss of popular support. Jin Guo can do this because they have always done so.
The Guangfu Army boasted very well, but it did the same thing as the Jin State. What should the people do if they don’t trust them from now on?
These two men took the lead and some middle-ranking officers privately expressed great dissatisfaction with Zhao Kaishan’s decision-making and selectmen’s success, but they also lost their strength.
Of course, even more dissatisfied is that Zhao Kaishan sacrificed his weekly trip.
They even privately suspect that Zhao Kaishan can sacrifice Zhou this time, and who will he sacrifice again? Which of them will be a victim?
The situation that everyone is in danger has already formed at this time.
Since the war of Daming Prefecture began, the army began to accumulate emotions as if it were about to erupt at this time. This unbelief atmosphere made Zhao Kaishan feel very bad and made him feel a little scared.
Actually, the source of his power is his ability to make a fortune by taking everyone with him, and his ability to believe in the future and follow others, believing that he can lead them to a better life in the future.
It’s not enough to say that loyalty is less than one year, which is not enough for most people to be loyal to him
Getting more benefits is the reason why he became a handsome leader, and it is also the bond that he linked and ruled the Guangfu Army.
Once he can’t lead the Guangfu Army to gain benefits, once he goes uphill, then this bond will be gone.
Without ties, how can he be the leader of the Guangfu Army?
Then his position is in jeopardy.
This should be so good?
In this case, Zhao Kaishan is almost able to seek advice from Zhao Liang, just as he has experienced difficulties in the past few times
Although he doesn’t listen to Zhao Liang very much, it is a great comfort for him that Zhao Liang can give him advice and give him a choice.
Zhao Xiang’s bad idea sometimes even Zhao Kaishan can feel bad, which is safer than Zhao Xiang or Zhao Liang.
