Tong Guan is actually very difficult, especially under the current situation.
Zhao Kai used extraordinary means to seize the throne, and needed reasons first, so he naturally had to pursue the series of mistakes made by the old emperor and the young emperor during his administration.
The old emperor's mistake was that the transformation of the new policy led to the country's destiny in a deep crisis, and the reason why the transformation of the new policy was the responsibility of the prime ministers such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan. Cai Jing had been punished. His family, his disciples and former officials were destroyed under the continuous blows of the two emperors Zhao Heng and Zhao Kai. Tong Guan is still alive and is a great hero who helped Zhao Kai ascend the throne, but is his achievements enough to offset his guilt?
The mistake of the young emperor Zhao Heng was to surrender and sell the country, cede land and pay compensation and push the Song Dynasty into a precarious situation. This was a crime that he and the ministers of the Lord and the ministers could not shirk. Zhao Heng was deposed and the ministers of the Lord and the ministers were executed and exiled. However, in order to eliminate dissidents, Tong Guan launched a massacre of killing, and therefore hundreds of officials were implicated. Tong Guan was originally targeted by the public, and now he became the target of everyone's punishment.
Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu and Tong Guan had a deep hatred. Zhe Yanzhi, Zhe Keke's uncle and nephew cooperated with Tong Guan because of his unyielding reasons. Yang Keshi, Wang, Cao and others were suppressed by Tong Guan for a long time in the northwest, and they were full of resentment towards him. Therefore, after these northwest generals arrived in Bianjing, they immediately resolved their past grudges, shook hands and made peace, and unanimously pointed the finger at Tong Guan. Taking Tong Guan, Bian Jing was their world.
But Tong Guan had his own wiseness. He recruited Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi, Liu Guangguo father and son, Xin Xingzong, Cookie, Wu Zihou and other northwestern generals as soon as possible. Liu Yanqing served as the commander of the palace front commander, Tong Shimin served as the commander of the guards' personal army, and Liu served as the commander of the infantry army, firmly controlling the Bianjing garrison. Zhang Shizhengdi Shengjie Army was also stationed in Bianjing. Liu Guangshi, Xin Xingzong and others went to the Hebei battlefield to serve as the commander, and controlled all the imperial guards of the three commanders of Damingfu Road, Hejianfu Road and Dingzhou Road in hand.
In this way, all the confidants of Tong Guan from the former Northwest Army returned and were reused.
Tong Guan once cultivated three major factions in the northwest. Liu Zhongwu and his group were in a slump since the veteran general retired and returned home. This time, Liu Zhongwu's son Liu was appreciated by Tong Guan and became the commander of the three yamen. Liu Zhongwu and his group immediately entered the army again. Liu Fa and his group were almost wiped out in the Battle of Shuofang. Liu Yanqing and his group were severely injured since Tong Guan stepped down from office after resigned. In addition to Liu Guangshi and Xin Xingzong, many generals were in a idle position in the capital like Liu Yanqing. This time, all Liu Yanqing and his group made a comeback. Xin Xingzong, who had been suppressing the rebellion in Shandong, even led tens of thousands of troops to the battlefield in Hebei.
Tong Guan's foundation is too strong. The eunuch who had been in power for more than 20 years was not a false reputation. Overnight, he reversed the situation and gained an absolute advantage in Bianjing, suppressing the ambitious northwestern people such as Zhong Shidao and Zhe Yanzhi to breathe.

Tong Guandi made a strong comeback. He made the Zhe family and the Zhong family feel like they were making wedding clothes for others. They had been planning for this day for many years. They were about to succeed and could control the authority. Unexpectedly, an old dark horse broke out in the middle of the road and was caught off guard. For a long time, they regarded Li Hu as their opponent. They were deliberately plotting for this and plotting in every way. But in the end, the eunuchs who had bullied them for more than 20 years took advantage of the world. This was really unbearable.
The people of the northwestern people had no foundation in Bianjing. The generals were far away from the court and did not have a complete and clear understanding of the cruel power struggle. Let alone experience. Compared with that, Tong Guan had a deep foundation in Bianjing, especially in the forbidden area. He had a more abilities to turn things around. Although the little emperor attacked Tong Guan's power at the beginning of his administration, the little emperor was not vicious enough and was not cruel enough. He did not pull out the power of Tong Guan's power. So Tong Guan returned to the capital and called the wind and rain in a blink of an eye.
To be honest, Zhao Kai can quickly ascend the throne without any danger and rebuild the central government and the east and west governments. Tong Guan played an important and irreplaceable role. In this matter, Zhe Yanzhi and the Northwest generals had limited roles and could not be compared with Tong Guan. Therefore, it is not a big reason why Zhao Kai relies wholeheartedly on Tong Guan and let Tong Guan be powerful.
Zhao Kai came from Zhengzhong. The basic national policy of the Song Dynasty was deeply rooted in his heart. Therefore, he never believed in warriors, and would not give warriors a chance to take power. In order to seize the imperial throne, he went to the northwest to win over Li Hu and the generals in the northwest. It was just a stopgap and a means to achieve the goal. Now he became the emperor. With the planning of Tong Guan, he finally seized the imperial throne. At this moment, he would still fulfill his promise and share power with Li Hu and the people in the northwest? It is impossible. At present, the Northern Enemies invaded. The Jurchens occupied the territory of the Song Dynasty. He needed the generals to charge in the battle. So he could still make a gesture. Once the foreign enemy was defeated and the territory was recovered, he would be out of the grind and kill the donkey.
The national policies of using culture to control the military, and the generals are governed from the middle, defending the internal and external emptiness for more than a hundred years. Even the earth-level king Anshi's reform did not dare to shake these foundations. Therefore, once Zhao Kai ascended the throne and held the Tianxian in his hand, his ideas changed. In order to consolidate his throne and firmly control his authority, he naturally had to use Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong's literati this time. Tong Guan, the eunuch, used Tong Guan, to suppress, weaken and attack the warriors. He tried every means to drive the people of the northwest away.
He drove away from Bianjing and completely eliminated Li Hu. Of course, the premise is to defeat the lost territory again. Before that, he must endure it and must compromise.
The emperor believed in Tong Guan, who was very strong. The people in the northwest worked hard but found nothing, so the contradictions in Bian Jing naturally intensified.

The focus of the intensification of the conflict between the two sides is the time when the war in Hebei is in progress. This is something on the surface, but in fact, the battle behind the battlefield is the command of the battlefield.
Since Emperor Taizong's reign, "the ruler of the Central Government" has become the basic national policy of the Song Dynasty. After the establishment of the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song and Liao dynasties ushered in a hundred years of peace, but the Song and Xia war lasted for a hundred years. The northwest battlefield was too far from Bianjing, so it was unrealistic to be the commander of the northwest commander. The northwest battlefield was very large, and the sixth routes in Shaanxi had four routes and Xixia. Therefore, before Tong Guan, the commander of the northwest battlefield was generally two to three, which was conducive to remote control of Bianjing. In fact, it could not get rid of the disadvantages of the general's control of the middle ground.
After Tong Guan went to the northwest to preside over the military, this disadvantage was improved. Of course, this was mainly because the old emperor trusted Tong Guan, and someone else would never have such great power.
Today, the battlefield in Hebei is very close to Bianjing, and the situation is in danger. Of course, there is no reason to hand over the battlefield command to the front commander. Zhao Kai became the emperor and destroyed bridges across the river. He was determined to drive the people in the northwest away from the center and Bianjing, and of course he would not hand over the battlefield commander to the front commander.
The Taiyuan mutiny made Zhao Kai very afraid of the military men holding heavy troops. As for the current situation in Bianjing, the people in the northwest were suppressed. If the front-line commander with the power of battlefield turned against each other and then took another mutiny, even if Zhao Kai could continue to be the emperor, he would definitely be a puppet emperor. Therefore, Zhao Kai would never hand over the power of battlefield command.
The Hebei front commander has no battlefield command power, and all armies are commanded by Bian Jing, so the Hebei War will definitely not be able to win. If the Hebei War loses, the Northwest Army will suffer severe damage. People like Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu, and Zhe Yanzhi will not only bear the blame, but their strength will be gone, and they can only be slaughtered. Zhao Kai's goal of driving the Northwest people has achieved its goal, and Tong Guan's goal of taking power alone has also been reached. People in the Northwest have bleed and sweated, but finally become fish under the knife. Who can accept this?
Of course, the people of Northwest would not accept it, so they argued and asked for an attack in early July.
The Hebei War was just defeated, Zhao Kai had just become the emperor, and Bianjing was still in chaos. In this case, the people of the northwestern world couldn't wait to attack. Of course, Bianjing had to hand over the command of the battlefield to the front line commander. Even if Bianjing wanted to command, he did not have this ability, because there were too many things in Bianjing and he could not handle it every day. How could he have time to command the Hebei War?
Zhao Kai and Tong Guan refused to agree.
In more than a month, Bianjing will basically stabilize it, so Bianjing will be able to control the overall situation and be able to command the war in Hebei. The battlefield command cannot be handed over.
Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong naturally knew the reason for the debate. First, they considered reality, Bianjing really needed stable time; second, the battlefield in Hebei also needed to assemble troops, hoard food and grass weapons, and had a small chance of winning; third, they were unwilling to see the people in the northwest obtain the command of the battlefield, which was very dangerous for Bianjing.
The people of the Northwest made great contributions to Zhao Kai's ascending the throne, and at this moment they were going to attack and recover the lost territory. It was reasonable and reasonable. Zhao Kai, the new emperor, had no reason to refuse. In desperation, he had to pull Li Hu out. If Li Hu brought the main force of the Hu Lie Army into the Hebei battlefield and commanded it himself, he would agree.

On June 27, Zhe Keke asked to rush to Luoyang with his horse, and Zhang Jun, the 24th commander of Qin Feng Road, was also accompanied by him.
Zhe Keke first introduced Zhang Jun to Li Hu.
Zhang Jun was about forty years old, tall, handsome, with a pair of strong eyes, and powerful aura. This man was from Fengxiang Mansion on Qinfeng Road. He was from Qinfeng Road. He was a marching force. He became a village archer at the age of sixteen. He then participated in previous Northwest Wars, participated in the Northern Expedition, and participated in the suppression of rebellion in Hebei Shandong. Last year, he was transferred to Qinfeng Road as the 24th commander of Qinfeng. This year, he served as the king of Zhongshizhong and participated in the Hebei War. During the battle with the Jin army, he led a cavalry to raid and seized a thousand war horses. After being surrounded by Zhongshizhong, he led a hundred people to break through forcibly. The Jin army then chased after him. Zhang Jun was great and powerful, and led a fierce soldier to turn around and kill 500 enemies. The Jin army retreated in shock and dared not pursue him again.
Li Hu highly praised it. There were many powerful generals in the Northwest Army. Han Shizhong from Linyan Road was the marching army, and Wu from Jingyuan Road was also the marching army. These were all famous anti-Jin generals in the father's story. For this reason, he asked Zhe Yanzhi and knew that these people were now in the army. Han Shizhong once served under the tent of Wang Yuan, the general of Northwest. After the Northern Expedition, he suppressed the rebellion in Shandong and served as the Shanzhou regiment training envoy. He is now stationed in Tuohe. Wu served as the second deputy general of Jingyuan Road, served under Yang Keshi, and also went to the Hebei battlefield.
In the story of my father, there are four famous generals of ZTE, Han Shizhong, Liu, Yue Fei, Zhang Jun... Zhang Jun? Could it be that Zhang Jun is him?
