Chapter 207: 200,000 troops

Zhang Qi and the others soon came to the pavilion, Zhang Kai, General Xu took the lead, and behind him were the strategies, managers and many generals.

"Wait to see Your Majesty!"

A group of more than 10 people bowed together. Some raised their hands and bowed, while others knelt on one knee, their voices loud and uniform.

Zhao Xu looked at this group of people, nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward to support Zhang Ji, and said: "Zhang Qing's family is exempt, Xu Qing's family, all Qing families are invited, you are my great hero of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are not formal today!" ”

Zhang Qi, Xu Jiang and others got up in gratitude, Zhao Xu held Zhang Qi's wrists, his face was full of excitement, and said: "Zhang Qing's family really didn't disappoint me, the battle of Huanqing Road greatly boosted my Great Song Guowei, swept away the shame of the Yuanfeng years, and boosted the morale of my Great Song army and people!" Zhang Qingjia, you have made great contributions! ”

Zhang Dian felt the strength of Zhao Xu's hands, the corners of his thin face did not move, and said: "The ministers don't dare to take credit, it all depends on Your Majesty's strategizing and soldiers' lives." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, let go of his hand, looked at General Xu, Wang Wenyu and others, and said: "Strategizing is a polite word, but it is true that soldiers use their lives." All of you are heroes of my Great Song Dynasty, and I will never forget any of them! ”

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not have officialdom polite words, the crowd looked moved, raised their hands and said, "The ministers don't dare!" ”

Zhao Xu was really happy at the moment, waved his hand, and said, "Most people I don't know, Zhang Qing's family, introduce me first." ”

Zhang Dian turned sideways, looked at the northwest general with an excited face, and said: "Your Majesty, this is Wang Wenyu of Xihe Road. ”

Wang Wenyu was a middle-aged man who looked like a thin scholar, his face was as usual, and he said, "The minister Wang Wenyu has seen the official family. ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said with a smile: "In the battle of Xihe Road, Wang Qing's command was excellent and calm. ”

"Xie Guan's family." Wang Wenyu's eyes flashed with joy.

"This is Hedong Road passing through Luosun Road." Zhang Qi said to an old man of half a hundred.

Without waiting for him to speak, Zhao Xu said: "I know about Sun Qing's family, all kinds of things will inevitably happen on the battlefield, Zhang Qing's family has already said what happened in the notebook, I believe in Zhang Qing's family, and I can trust Sun Qing's family." ”

Sun Lu hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

When Hedong Road was supporting Huanqing Road, one of the troops did not arrive at the designated place on time, which caused the battle situation on Huanqing Road to be passive, and the generals of other roads complained.

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not pursue it, the corners of his face relaxed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the defense envoy of Zhaozhou, and the commander of the Xiang army is in the division, they are two brothers. ”

"The ministers are in the construction, and the masters are in the middle of the divisions, and you can see Your Majesty!" In the construction of the plant, the two brothers in the seed master knelt down on one knee together.

Zhao Xu looked at the two of them with a strange expression, and said, "No courtesy." ”

The two of them stood upright, their bodies standing upright.

These two brothers are strong men of about forty with fat waists, and this kind of Jianzhong has a wooden expression, and he is a rough man. Among the teachers, there is a kind of elegant temperament of a scholar, and he is a Confucian general.

Zhao Xu observed the two of them for a while, and said with a smile: "I have heard of the name of the Seed Family Army, counting from the ancestors of the two Qing families, grandfather, uncle, who made great contributions to the fight against Xia Liao in the northwest, I have always remembered it. This time, the two Qing families can not forget the legacy of their ancestors and perform bravely, and I also admire them. This time, in terms of meritorious deeds, not only the two Qing families, but also the merits of the ancestors of the family should also be recorded! ”

The seed master was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Chong Jianzhong slowed down a little, and then said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, pondered for a moment, looked at the two brothers and asked, "I know that there are many brothers in the seed family, I don't know, can there be a seed master?" ”

There was not much reaction in the seed building, but after the seed master recalled, he said: "Back to Your Majesty, our family does not have a teacher, and the ministers are the middle school." ”

Zhao Xu sighed, puzzled.

He vaguely remembered that there was a master in the farming family, who was famous, but he had consulted a lot of information these days, but he didn't find this person.

Zhang Qi waited, and when he saw it, he continued to introduce: "Official, this is the younger brother of the prince, Wang Anli." ”

Although the brothers of the seed family were puzzled, they still took a step back and highlighted Wang Anli.

Wang Anli looked a little uneasy, raised his hand and said, "The minister Wang Anli has seen the official family. ”

Zhao Xu looked at him, the smile on his face was gone, and he said lightly: "Wang Qing's family, you have given me a problem." ”

Wang Anli has been nervous these days, and when he heard this, he slowly knelt on the ground and said: "The ministers and godsons are not strict, and they will cause a big disaster, please punish Your Majesty severely!" ”

The other charges of the Wang family may be false, but the encroachment on Yongye Tian cannot be washed away, and Wang Anli admitted it.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Your case has its own three law divisions to deal with, I don't care, get up." ”

Wang Anli became more and more frightened in his heart, but he knew that it was not appropriate to say too much at this time, so he could only get up after asking for sin, and retreated behind the people with a gloomy face.

Zhang Qi glanced at him and continued to introduce; "Official, this is Qin Fenglu's Qizhou observation envoy ...... be suitable."

Zhao Xu looked at Zhi Keshi, the Zhejia Army was also the main force of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and its prestige was far and wide.

Zhao Xu praised himself and encouraged with a smile.

Zhe Keshi did not smile, was thin and tall, and raised his hand silently.

Zhang Qi introduced them one by one, Zhao Xu recognized them one by one, most of them had never seen them, and they had no impression, he carefully remembered his official position, and praised his face from time to time.

After the introduction, Zhao Xu smiled and beckoned to everyone, Tong Guan came over with a plate, inside was a medal made of gold that Zhao Xu had ordered, the front was Zhao Xu's handwritten 'Song', and the back was a golden dragon.

Zhao Xu looked at everyone and said, "This gold medal has no special significance, that is, I thank you for your sacrifice for my Great Song Dynasty, and it is my personal gratitude." ”

Tong Guan listened and stepped forward to distribute them one by one.

Everyone didn't expect this to happen, so they hurriedly bowed down and raised their hands to take it.

Zhang Qi was the first, touching the cold and textured gold medal, his expression was slightly moved.

Xu Jiang, Wang Wenyu, Sun Lu, Chong Jianzhong, and Seed Master all have them, and everyone has an excited expression and takes it cautiously.

After Zhao Xu finished doing his selfish things, he said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go and talk to me about the battle of Huanqing Road, and later, I will also tell you about the things in Kaifeng City." ”

Huanqing Road has won a big victory, and it is naturally a credit, but Kaifeng City is not ordinary.

The people, including General Xu, looked slightly solemn, followed behind Zhao Xu, slowly pacing, and walked in the direction of Kaifeng City.

Zhang Qi began to talk about the battle of Huanqing Road, no matter how big or small.

Ever since he got the information about the attack of the Xia people, Zhang Ji has been making arrangements. The Xia people were menacing, with iron cavalry and an army of 300,000, and he was sure that he would not be able to fight head-on, so he formulated the tactics of 'luring the enemy deep and clearing the wilderness'.

Zhang Qi said, and the other generals then made additions, Wang Wenyu, Sun Lu, the brothers of the family, Zhe Keshi and others spoke at the right time, telling their combat experience.

Although what they said was simple, Zhao Xu could still feel the difficulties and dangers.

If the Xia people break through the Huanqing Road, then they will be able to reach Kaifeng City, which is unsafe to defend and empty of troops!

The consequences of that insist are unimaginable!

It took nearly an hour to stop talking.

Even if these are the personal experiences of the generals in the northwest, they are still thrilling in retrospect, and it is difficult to calm down for a while.

Zhao Xu listened silently, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this battle was a big victory, and it was too much of a benefit for him!

The most important thing is that the 200,000 Northwest Army is firmly in his hands!

With the confidence of this 200,000 army, no one can shake the dragon chair under his ass!

If he sits firmly on the throne, then his reforms will be unstoppable!

After walking for a while, Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Your Qing family is indeed my great Song Dongliang, my master. I know that you are worried that the affairs in Beijing will affect you, and you can rest assured that I have carefully read those files, and they have little to do with you, and even if there is, I will pardon them. ”

Many people relented, most of them were over 40 years old, how could they escape the decades-long party struggle between the 'old and new' parties, especially with the big names in Beijing, who were more or less related.

Seeing that the official family Chrysostom protected them, his heart was completely down-to-earth.

The only exception is probably Wang Anli.

Zhao Xu was wearing a thick cotton coat, facing the slightly cold wind, and said: "You talked about Huanqing Road, and I also told you about the things in Beijing." ”

Everyone's expressions were dark, too many things had happened in Beijing in the past six months, especially the Empress Dowager's removal of the curtain, 'a son of heaven and a courtier', the Empress Dowager's people were basically liquidated, and even two ministers died, and four or five ministers were still in prison.

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Su Zhe can still hold his body, but the loss of the military salary of Huanqing Road makes it difficult for him to escape the blame as the third division." He was assassinated, and it was the people behind the scenes who killed people and killed people, and in this, there was Lu Dafang and the Lu family involved, as well as the prince of the clan. LΓΌ Da committed suicide in fear of crime, which triggered a struggle between the government and the opposition. Someone re-provoked the 'Dengzhou Ayun case' in the Xining period, putting me in a situation of unfilial piety...... The reform of the imperial court was to rein in the scattered power, and the transitional checks and balances made the imperial court inefficient...... I am determined to inherit the legacy of the previous emperor and restore the new law, and as you know, this matter has caused a struggle between the government and the opposition since the beginning of my father's ascension to the throne, and now it is even more ......."

In Zhao Xu's words, there was no mention of Empress Dowager Gao, which was an understatement.

But none of the people present are human spirits, and they can hear the swords and swords in Kaifeng City during this time, and there are many crises.

Xu Jiang followed calmly, glanced at the expressions of the others behind Zhang Ji, and suddenly asked, "Official, is it still peaceful in Beijing?" The minister heard that Zhang Zihou Xianggong was a fiery temper and couldn't wait for a moment. ”

Zhao Xu was stunned at first, and then immediately understood what Xu Jiang meant, and said with a relaxed smile: "It's not all him, but I have already told the political hall that everything must be finished this year, and after next year, no matter how big the matter is, it will be handled in a low-key manner, so that people can't be panicked and the world is uneasy." ”

Xu Jiang saw that Wang Wenyu and the others had relaxed expressions, and said: "Official, I have been in the northwest for many days, and I have had contact with all the border marshals, they are all used to the field, go straight and straight, and will not turn around, I am afraid that they are not used to it in the imperial court, I am afraid that they will cause trouble to the official family and make it difficult for the official family." ”

Everyone looked at General Xu and showed gratitude.
