Yao Zhong had no objection to this candidate, but Yao Zhong was very excited about his own experience.

He tried his best to defend himself, saying that he could not burn the warehouse at all, and this must be a conspiracy from outsiders.

Some of his generals also tried to speak for him and to get rid of suspicion.

But they said it was their opinion that it depends on Zhou Linzhi's own beliefs.

Obviously, Zhou Linzhi couldn't believe it.

"Now he can't explain his guilt clearly. If you don't want to cause trouble, don't continue talking, otherwise no one can save you if the incident happens!"

Zhou Lin's long ranks high, and he has attributes to suppress these middle and lower-level officers.

When a harsh word was released, no one who wanted to speak for Yao Zhong dared to do so...

The main reason is that this incident happened too suddenly, and they themselves don’t know if the fire was released by Yao Zhong.

I haven't passed the air before!

So they could only shut up and watch Yao Zhong be dismissed, and then each performed his duties, waiting for his new boss Wang Yan to come to take office.

In order to demonstrate his courage as a minister and his responsibility as a court official, after Zhou Linzhi took Yao Zhong, he also led people to inspect the border areas of the Ming and Song dynasties, inspected the border infantry and border water defense forces, and found that Yao Zhong's three-dimensional defense transformation in Xiangyang was still good.

Based on the geographical conditions of Xiangyang, Yao Zhong used the advantageous naval army of the Southern Song Dynasty to arrange naval troops in the water system around Xiangyang City to delay the attack launched by the Ming army.

With the maneuver power of the navy, the Ming army's advantage in cavalry can be offset to a considerable extent, and will force the Ming army to use water combat to fight the Southern Song Dynasty, thereby dragging the Ming army into a protracted war and gaining time for the support of the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty in the rear.

After listening to Yao Zhong's tactics explained by Yao Zhong's generals, Zhou Linzhi felt that Yao Zhong was indeed a famous general and had some talent.

Unfortunately, his politics is not up to standard.

A person who is not politically qualified cannot be appointed no matter how strong his civil and military talent is, and must pass the political situation.

He can't stay here and needs to be taken back for interrogation.

But at the end of the day,

Is this really the same thing he saw?

Yao Zhong has been calling for justice all the time.

I've always said that I'm not at fault.

Is this really the case?

Zhou Linzhi couldn't figure it out either.

On the eighth day of the March, Zhou Linzhi set off from Ezhou to return to Lin'an, and the storm came to an end with the victory of the civil servant.

But is it really over?

Obviously not that simple.

After learning that Yao Zhong was taken away,

Zhao Yucheng was overjoyed.

At this moment, Zhao Yucheng had basically known some of the plans and plans for the Southern Song Dynasty.

According to the report of the Tianwang Army spy,

The Southern Song Dynasty court was ready to launch a new round of military attacks on the peasant military regime on the west road of Jiangnan.

The coach who decided at the beginning was Yao Zhong, an experienced anti-Jin general.

According to the report of the spy,

Yao Zhong is good at using troops, is brave and prestigious.

Leading troops is very well-organized.

During his tenure in Xiangyang, he carried out three-dimensional defense transformation in Xiangyang. He was not short of mountain combat because he was born in Sichuan and was short of plain land combat.

Instead, it cleverly used the water system around Xiangyang.

Increased investment in the navy,

This makes the defense of Xiangyang City three-dimensional.

This is quite the strategic position that Yue Fei adopted when he led the Jinghu War Zone.

Therefore, Zhao Yucheng believes that Yao Zhong is not easy to deal with.

It is probably not a good thing to let the peasant army, who is still lacking in experience, deal with such people.

But now Yao Zhong has been denied his post.

The new chief general is Zhou Yun, the commander of the Guard Infantry Division. This is an unknown ordinary general, not outstanding.

I have never made any mistakes, I seem to have some identity background.

Anyway, it was not up to the throne by military merits.

This time, the Southern Song Dynasty planned to join the two armies of the Guard Infantry and the Ezhou Army, with a force of about 60,000 people.

Originally, I planned to join the Xiangyang army as the main force, but now it has come to this point.

The Xiangyang army can only exist as a reserve force and cannot be the main force.

However, this did not change the idea that the Southern Song Dynasty court decided to launch an encirclement and suppression offensive. They obviously could not tolerate the existence of the peasant military regime.

After careful consideration, Zhao Yucheng felt it was necessary to hold a military meeting. He gathered the main generals and instructors of the peasant army and held a meeting that was not long but of great significance.

Zhao Yucheng proposed at the meeting that the Song army took the initiative to launch an attack in the past.

And they had to passively respond, because they had no firm foothold, no strong army, and could only defend,

Can't attack.

This is a helpless move.

Now, after more than a year of development, the peasant military regime has gained a firm foothold here.

The army expanded to a total of 80,000 people, and had a certain degree of field combat capability and attack ability. Various weapons were prepared in a relatively complete manner and almost all the food was prepared.

In this case, it may not be appropriate to continue to adopt a policy of sticking to the policy of proactive action.

"If the Song army comes, it will definitely cause damage to our construction results. We must also migrate the people and let them leave their homes that they have finally built. This is a huge cost. I like the words that the Chairman said, "It is called to defend the enemy outside the country."

Zhao Yucheng spoke at the meeting and said: "Since we have enough military strength, why do we still have to wait for the Song army to come here? The military intelligence of the Southern Song Dynasty is the same as the knowledge in books. As long as we are willing to read it, we can always get it.

One army is in the Hanyang area of ​​Ezhou, one army is stationed in Xiangyang, and one army is stationed in Jiujiang area. The three army together have a scale of 100,000 people. It can be said to be huge, but there are many internal problems.

The elite Xiangyang army is temporarily in a state of no leader. The Jiujiang army is known as the imperial guards of the court, but it is relatively mediocre. The general has no military achievements in establishing a country. The entire army has also had business dealings with us and is willing to resell the armies to us.

Not to mention the Ezhou army, the entire Ezhou government is doing business with us, and the logistics is so bad that it is even bad. It even wants to cooperate with us to deal with our own generals. It is incredible that such an government can cooperate with the army to win battles."

Zhao Yucheng crossed his hands together and looked around the people around him nervously.

"So I thought, it might be time for us to take the initiative."

Officers, look at me and I look at you. Some are surprised, some are surprised, and some are worried.

The 30th Division commander Lu Chengren put forward some concerns.

"What you are talking about is indeed the truth, but at present, unless our army goes south in an all-round way, it may be difficult for us to open up the situation in the Jinghu land and take the initiative to face the 100,000 Song troops."

Lu Chengren said slowly: "Our army has indeed made great progress over the past year, but we cannot just think that the Song army must be very incompetent and will collapse at once. At least the army that Yao Zhong and Wu Gong were left behind were not weak."
Chapter completed!
