On second thought, it seems that those who have made contributions and are in use now are not from the generals of the Western Army! Yue Fei, Fu Xuan, and Zhang Rong are not to be mentioned. Even Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, although they are all from the Western Army, are from poor families and are not from the generals of several generations. Even Yang Weizhong, the old Taiwei, although he is now the one with the most seniority in the Western Army, is also a generation of hardworking people! He is a foreigner from Huanqing Road, and he has become the number one in the army by himself. Although he is from the Western Army, he is definitely not from a general family!

If I continue thinking this way, it seems that the future of the Xin brothers, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others is not very bright?

All I can say is that the emperor is worthy of being the emperor. Although he is young, he has seen through the corruption and uselessness of the Western Army's generals early on. After the Liu Guangshi incident, he made up his mind but kept it to himself... And if I continue to think about it, I was intercepted by Hu Yin the night before yesterday, and then stopped by the emperor. In a panic, I had no choice but to choose to support Zhang Rong. Wasn't this a benefit that I stumbled upon by accident?

Otherwise, it’s better than misjudging the situation and supporting Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu, right?

I just don't know if Zhang Rong is a wise guy, or if he has a fair or bad face...

Speaking of which, not to mention the deep divergence of other people, Zhao Jiu's thinking here is actually much simpler - from the beginning to the end, he only trusted two and a half people, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun, on military issues. The first two were considered people, and the latter was considered half a person.

After all, the current military construction is in a mess, so we can only rely on the generals' own abilities, and among the Four Generals of the Restoration, only these three are really useful?

As for Liu Yan, Yang Yi Zhong, Wang De and others who came later, they all had personal contact with them for a long time, and either gradually trusted these people or witnessed their abilities. Only then did they fall into the category of trustworthiness and were recorded in the small notebooks in their own imperial accounts.

In other words, Zhao Jiu had hoped to use himself as bait from the beginning, and then rely on Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun to fight a defensive battle in Shouzhou, a local battlefield, because he only had these two cards in his hand. Now, with the support of Yue Fei and others, although the victory was a pleasant surprise, after the battlefield was completely expanded, Emperor Zhao found that he was powerless!

Moreover, at this time, many civil and military officials were still making misjudgments, but the situation of misjudgment was reversed!

At that time, everyone regarded Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun as ordinary Song army generals, but Zhao Jiu knew that these two were still a step above the others and could compete with the Jin army. Now, with some military achievements, everyone regarded the rest of the Song army as the level of Han, Zhang, and Yue, but only Zhao Jiu knew that these three were actually the highest level of the Song army... Most of the others were still trash.

As for Guangzhou upstream, a simple logic is that with the abilities of Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, they could only barely hold off Jin Wushu with their superior forces on the preset battlefield. Even with the most reliable Yue Fei, it was clearly written in the military report that it was an ambush of 20,000 against 5,000, and the victory was achieved by relying on the magical terrain of Liangshan Lake with regular water rises... Then what about the two generals Miao and Liu, who fought for so long against Ding Jin before forcing the other side to surrender, and they didn't even have time to annex and reorganize. How could such generals and armies perform against the Jin army?

There should be no problem with this logical deduction, right?

So, Emperor Zhao is in danger again!
