Chapter 218 - Persuading Curved End

Zhao Chen left Wu Gong County on the fifth day of April and headed west!

Kang An led several hundred soldiers of the Managed and followed Zhao Chen out!

However, this time, their movements were strangely concealed. They were all dressed in the clothes of ordinary soldiers from the Imperial Guards. This way, no one would know about their whereabouts. Right now, the Guan Shan was in a dangerous situation, Zhao Chen's every action could affect the situation of the Guan Shan, so he pretended to stay in the Guan Shan!

April 15th, they had arrived at Dazhang Pass!

April 18th, they had returned to Middle Han Area! Even if they had returned, it would not have alarmed the ordinary citizens. Only the few upper echelons of the imperial government knew that Zhao Chen had returned!

After returning, Zhao Chen immediately went to see Li Gang! Seeing Zhao Chen's return, Li Gang was naturally very excited!

The two of them started to discuss about the establishment of the staff officers' headquarters. Zhao Chen explained the details of the staff officers' headquarters that had already been established in Guan Shan.

"In the future, not only the staff officers, but also the staff officers, even the divisions must have staff officers!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, aren't there a lot of servants this way?" Li Gang said.

"No!" The staff officer headquarters needed thousands of people, but the number of staff officers needed for each army and division was very small! These staff officers were originally established to more conveniently command the army. If there are too many people and the system is too complicated, it would be better not to set them up! " Zhao Chen said.

"His Majesty is right! Just that, does that mean the Privy Council is going to be abolished? " Li Gang said.

"Exactly! This matter still needs to be left to teacher! " Zhao Chen said.

"This old official understands! There are a lot of people in Privy Council, the others are fine, but the Curved End … " Li Gang muttered to himself.

"I will personally advise the Curved End! I have written to ask him to take up his post at the staff office, but he has never taken it up! This time, besides dealing with the things in Sichuan, there is also another thing that needs to be done, which is to advise him! " Zhao Chen said.

Li Gang nodded, then relaxed! To be honest, Li Gang knew that the Curved End was extraordinary, and he was not willing to let the Curved End waste his talent by staying in the Middle Han Area! Hearing that the Curved End had been arranged, he finally felt at ease!

"Sichuan, this is a very troublesome thing!" Zhao Chen tapped the table with his hand, and said slowly.

"Yes, the Sichuan problem is a little troublesome! Actually, the key lies in the human heart! " Li Gang said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen asked with some doubt.

"Why are people always so unstable?" Zhao Chen said.

"When Emperor Taizu took the throne, he replaced it. However, at that time, the land of Shu was still ruled by the King of Shu, Meng Chen! This Meng Cheng was very merciful to the common people, hence his prestige in the land of Shu was very high! After the army of the Great Ancestor entered the land of Shu, Meng Lang surrendered. After the death of Emperor Taizong, rumours had it that Emperor Taizong poisoned Meng Chen to death! Furthermore, when the Great Ancestor's army entered the land of Shu, they had to burn, loot, and kill in an all-consuming manner. It had taken them more than ten years just to transport the looted items! All these made the people of Shu extremely dissatisfied with the imperial government! When Emperor Taizong was in power, he was very harsh on the people of Sichuan. His taxes were extremely heavy, to the point that Wang Bo and Li Shun rebelled against him. Although the revolt was quelled, Emperor Taizong killed over a hundred thousand of the people of Sichuan who rebelled! "Later on, although all the emperors of the past dynasties tried to pacify the land, the citizens of the land seldom had the heart to go to the imperial government!" Li Gang said.

"So that's how it is! "No wonder the Demonic Sect can fan the flames and cause trouble in Sichuan!" Zhao Chen nodded and said.

"That's right!" The main reason why the Demonic Sect was able to cause trouble was because of the human heart! The chaos caused by the cult in Sichuan is easy to dispel, but the hearts of people are hard to pacify! " Li Gang said.

"I will go to Sichuan to deal with this myself!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Sichuan yourself?" Li Gang was startled, and said.

"That's right!" Sichuan matters are very important, although I now occupy Guan Shan, Middle Han Area, Sichuan and other places, but the decree has always been difficult to carry out in Sichuan! This Sichuan had almost become a kingdom within a country. This kind of phenomenon could not be sustained any longer! If Sichuan were to continue like this, not only would the demonic sects cause trouble, there would also be other unstable events in the future! If we want to conquer the world, if we want to defeat Emperor Kang and Valkyrie, we must first solve the problem in Sichuan! So I decided to go to Sichuan myself! " Zhao Chen said.

"But, Your Majesty, could something dangerous have happened?" Li Gang said.

"I slightly submit myself and proceed forward. There aren't many people who know of my identity, so what danger would there be?" Zhao Chen said.

"But …" Li Gang still wanted to advise him!

"The matters of the imperial government should still be left to teacher!" In addition, from now on, all military matters will be entrusted to the staff officer! I need to hurry to Sichuan, and today I need to solve the problem of the Curved End! " Zhao Chen did not let him finish, he stood up and said.

Li Gang knew that Zhao Chen was a strong person, once he made a decision, it would be extremely difficult to change him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher!" I hope that the world will calm down as soon as possible so that teacher can have a good rest! " Seeing Li Gang's wrinkled face and tired body, Zhao Chen sighed and said.

"To serve the country, this old official is willing to serve you until the end!" Li Gang shook his head and laughed.

Zhao Chen did not speak anymore, and led his men towards Privy Council!

The structure of the Song Dynasty was also extremely complicated, there were over a thousand officials here!

Zhao Chen headed straight for the innermost area of Privy Council!

In the innermost room, Curved End was sitting in front of a table and reading a book.

He was watching raptly, but just as Zhao Chen walked in, he immediately looked up! He was once a high-ranking officer of the Western Army, second only to the path of seed masters. Even if Zhao Chen had entered the Innate Realm, she was still far from being his opponent.

"Your Majesty!" When he saw Zhao Chen's face clearly, Curved End was shocked and immediately knelt down and said.

He was shocked, and did not understand why Zhao Chen would return to the Middle Han Area at this time, and why he did not receive any news! For a moment, he was slightly perturbed in his heart!

"General Qu, you may rise! What are you reading? " Zhao Chen laughed.

"I am reading General Di Qing's book on military affairs!" Curved End said.

"Oh, so it's General Di Qing's letter! General Di Qing is also a famous general in my Song Dynasty. In the process of his battles in the Western Xia Dynasty, he had dishevelled hair and wore a copper mask. His elegance is reminiscent of the past! " Zhao Chen said.

"That's right!" General Di Qing had dominated the battlefield for dozens of years. Who knew how many achievements he had made? Even after a hundred years, his reputation was still impressive! Maybe a thousand years later, there would still be people who would remember his name! My Curved End is far inferior to him! " Curved End sighed and said.

Throughout history, Di Qing was a famous general of the Song Dynasty! Although the Curved End was a famous figure in this era's Western Army, he was still far from being comparable to Di Qing!

"Who said the General Qu is inferior to him? As the saying goes, heroes will emerge in chaotic times. The current era was chaotic, and that was when true heroes would emerge! I can guarantee that Yue Fei's name will surpass Di Qing's in the future! " Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is right!" Curved End sighed again.

With the invasion of this woman and the impending destruction of the Han people, anyone who could stand up against the Jin Army and establish a meritorious position would definitely be more famous than Di Qing! After all, Di Qing was in a time of peace. Although the Western Xia was a big threat, it was still far from being comparable to the real girl! The Western Xia was just wreaking havoc in the northwest, while the female Zhen was occupying the Central Plains and was about to destroy the Han people! Yue Fei had fought two big battles against Valkyrie, so he had to leave his name behind throughout history!

"Why does General Qu look so sad?" Zhao Chen looked at Curved End and laughed.

"Nothing!" Curved End shook her head gently.

"General Qu, I asked you to be the Chief of the Operations Branch, why aren't you willing to agree?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, this lowly general is incompetent and useless. I am not qualified to assume this position!" Curved End lowered her head and said.

"I don't think so! You are a famous literary talent in the Western Army, everyone knows about you! You have defeated the Western Xia Army many times before, how can it be called incompetent? "I think you have a grudge against me in your heart!" Zhao Chen sneered.

"Your Majesty, this general would never dare to entertain such thoughts!" Curved End said.

He knew that the Curved End was talented, but Zhao Chen looked down on the Curved End's personality! Curved End's personality made it impossible for him to accomplish any big things. Curved End could only rely on the existence of experts, and could only become a sword in their hands! It had already been two and a half years since he called the Curved End from the original location to the Middle Han Area. In these two and a half years, he believed that the Curved End's temperament must have already become completely calm and peaceful.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the Curved End kept silent!

"Could it be that the whole world is under the control of the King? Could it be that they are following the lead of the King?" This world belongs to me! The path is mine and the Jingyuan Army is mine as well. In the past, as an emissary of the path, the reason why you were able to control a huge army of one hundred thousand was also because of the authority bestowed to you by my royal father! Is there a problem with withdrawing this power after I have taken over the government? I have appointed you as the Privy Envoys, in charge of the military affairs of the entire country. Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your majesty, this general's position as the Privy Envoys is only in name and not in reality!" The Curved End laughed bitterly.

"Is it true? With our establishment of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the authority of the Privy Council is indeed much smaller! But I am only taking away the power to handle urgent military matters. If you really want to do something, with your position in Privy Envoys, it's impossible that you can't! But look at what you've been doing for the past two and a half years. You read and drank tea in the Privy Council everyday, you do not manage any big or small matters! Is that true? " Zhao Chen said.

Curved End lowered her head and did not say a word!

"Curved End, you're also a great man, could it be that you're really willing to watch yourself get old in Privy Council, waste your time, and fail at anything?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty … "I …" Curved End opened his mouth and finally let out a long sigh.

"In the future, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and the others will be recorded in the historical records and will be our national heroes. Even if Li Gang, Wang Shu and the others help us to defeat the true female disciples, we will still be famous for a generation! But your Curved End? Ever since the true female invader, you have not done anything beneficial to the country. You have remained unknown, and the history books only recorded that you once served as an emissary of the original path and the envoy of the Privy Envoys. You did not achieve anything, do you think that's good? " Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty … "I …" Curved End's face revealed a pained expression, but she still sighed!

"You are a good man with a full body of martial arts and talent. You have achieved nothing. Not only do you feel aggrieved, even I feel aggrieved for you!" Tomorrow, you will immediately head to Wu Gong County and take over the position of the chief of staff in charge of operations! I hope you won't disappoint us! The most important strategy for the future would be the staff officer's headquarters. It could be said that this staff officer headquarters was related to the overall strategy of the world! If you do this well, your reputation might not be worse than Yue Fei, Liu Qi and the others in the future! " Zhao Chen said.

"This lowly general understands!" Curved End clenched his teeth and said.

"Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe, Wang Shu and the rest are your old subordinates, they will cooperate with you!" Zhao Chen said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Curved End nodded.

"Hopefully, in the future, we can fight together on the battlefield and eliminate the female true spirit, Song Dynasty ZTE! Curved End, I have high hopes for you! " Zhao Chen said.

Curved End's face revealed an ashamed, excited, excited, and other expression. She nodded again after a long while.

On this day, Zhao Chen entertained the Curved End in the palace, and the two talked for a long time! Zhao Chen earnestly comforted Curved End. Only now did he realise that Curved End was actually a very easy person to talk to, with a "docile" personality, he did not need to worry about Curved End rebelling! Furthermore, the talent of the Curved End was indeed very small, after looking at the infantry exercise code, he had actually put forward a lot of suggestions, making Zhao Chen extremely happy, thinking that he really did not use the wrong person!
