When Storm Zhao heard this, his color immediately changed, and he said to King Yan: "Is Your Highness so waiting to welcome the envoy?" I'm afraid the world will laugh. ”

King Yan waved his hand to the generals and said: "The traitorous ministers are only Qi Huang and a few others, and the tyrannical book is the order of the Son of Heaven, so don't talk about it!" ”

After that, King Yan got up, took Tyrant Zhao's hand, walked out of the big tent, and took him to visit the camp. In order to show off his might in front of the envoys, King Yan had already ordered the battalions of each army to be more than 100 miles, and the cavalry galloped among them, and the foot soldiers waved their swords to practice. ”

Tyranny snorted and said: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of a person who resists a country with a corner and wins the world from a vassal king. ”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Since the beginning of loneliness." ”

The military parade has ended, King Yan ordered a banquet to be set up in the big tent to entertain the envoys, and at the banquet, King Yan said to Tyrant Zhao: "After the tyrannical book returns to Beijing, thank the Son of Heaven for me." The Son of Heaven belongs to me, and Emperor Xiaokang and I are both the sons of Emperor Xiaocigao. I am the king of the domain, guarding Beiping, and I am extremely rich, so what hope is there for me! The Son of Heaven has always loved me, but once he was treacherous and slanderous, so far. I had no choice but to save my life. Fortunately, I was ordered to strike the army, and my family was overwhelmed. But the traitorous ministers are still there, the army has not been returned, and the soldiers of Yan Zhi are suspicious and refuse to disperse. I hope that the emperor will punish the traitor and scatter the soldiers in the world, then my father and son will ride alone and return to His Majesty, and let His Majesty fall. ”

Violent Zhao said: "If King Yan is grateful that he is a descendant of Taizu and a plan for the people of the world, he should strike the army first to show his sincerity." ”

King Yan said unhappily: "If the court refuses to give in, when my army comes to the city, it will be an alliance under the city." ”

Tyrant Zhao smiled: "Then let you and I wait and see." However, I can report the will of King Yan to Your Majesty, and finally ask Your Majesty to decide. ”

King Yan raised his glass and toasted to Tyrant Zhao and said, "Then there is a book of labor and violence." ”

The next day, he resigned from King Yan and went out of the camp, but he did not return to Beijing, but turned north and came to Texas.

When Zhao entered the city, he saw Sheng Yong, and explained the plan and plate of the imperial court, Sheng Yong listened, nodded and said: "For today's plan, I have to do this." I reconvened my men and horses in the area of Texas, and now there are more than 100,000 people, more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack the enemy. If Liaodong, Zhending soldiers and horses are launched together, and I will cooperate, and the three-way army will besiege the Yan thieves, and you can win a complete victory. ”

Storm Zhao said: "That Sheng Hou can send an order to Liaodong and Zhending, and make an appointment to march to Beiping. ”

Sheng Yong smiled awkwardly and said, "Although my name is General Pingyan, I have the responsibility of commanding the whole army. However, it is not like Cao Guogong who was given the seal book Huang Yue, there is no authority, the governor Yang Wensu does not listen to my dispatch, and peace is also Yang Feng Yin violation, I can send someone to write a book, and the soldiers of Liaodong still ask the tyrannical Shangshu to pass the decree in person, so as not to miss the big thing. ”

Storm Zhao thought for a while and said, "Okay, for the sake of the country, I'll go on a trip myself, but I want to have one person with Sheng Hou as a deputy envoy." ”

Sheng Yong said: "Who? ”

Storm Zhao said: "Xiaolingwei commanded Zhang Shixing." ”

Sheng Yong smiled: "Tyrannical Shangshu, you are the old yellow calendar." He is currently the commander of the Hirayama Guard. It was he who killed Zhang Yu, the general of King Yan. ”

Storm Zhao said in surprise: "It turned out that he killed Zhang Yu, what a miracle, how can he still be a commander?" ”

Sheng Yong smiled and said: "He made a mistake before, and I demoted him to a hundred households, but after this war, I resumed his official position, so I failed to be promoted." When he has made great achievements in the future, I will promote him. ”

Storm Zhao nodded and said: "Zhang Shixing is kind-hearted, chivalrous and courageous, the emperor values it very much, and it will be of great use in the future, so the Marquis of Sheng should pay more attention." ”

Sheng Yong said: "I know. Thank you for the order. ”

Tyrant Zhao told Sheng Yong what he had seen and heard in the Yan camp again, Sheng Yong's brows were furrowed, and he said: "The Yan army has strong morale after this battle, and it is difficult for our army to defeat him in the field. If they come to attack Dezhou and Jinan, I can still cope with it with Jiancheng, but if they bypass Jiancheng and go straight to Jianghuai, Jingshi will be in danger. ”

When he heard this, he was shocked and said: "I will definitely play what Marquis Sheng said to the court, so that the emperor can prepare early." ”

The next day, he and Zhang Shixing left Dezhou with 50 escorts, and traveled eastward until they came to the Tiemen Pass at the mouth of the Daqing River, where they boarded a sea ship and sailed to Liaodong.

Zhang Shixing looked at the vast sea, the waves were undulating, and sighed to Tyrant Zhao: "Tyranny Shangshu, life is like this sea ship, ups and downs, if there is no compass, you will get lost, spinning on this vast sea, and you will never reach the other side." ”

When Storm Zhao heard what he said, he asked, "Commander Zhang, what is the compass in your heart?" ”

Zhang Shixing showed a resolute look on his face, and said: "I used to think that the meaning of my life was to avenge my father and mother, but I killed Lan Yu and Zhang Yu, and the revenge was finally avenged, did my life come to an abrupt end?" Fortunately, my master and ancestor have told me a lot of truths, and I am no longer confused in my heart now, no matter what I do in the future, I will have a purpose, to help the poor and help the needy, to punish the evil and promote the good, and to do the right thing for heaven. ”

Storm Zhaoqi said: "Commander Zhang, what did your ancestor tell you, let's listen to it." ”

So Zhang Shixing told him in detail about the Mojia principles taught by Zhang Songxi, and talked about his life experience.

After hearing this, Storm Zhao was greatly admired: "The Mohist theory is somewhat similar to my Confucian doctrine of killing oneself and sacrificing one's life for righteousness. However, the Mo family is a group of its own and does not follow the customs and etiquette, so it has always been disliked by the imperial court. I never thought it would be spread in your inner fist. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "I don't want to do anything like the Mo family, I just follow the straight path." ”

Storm Zhao Jie sighed: "Good to walk on the straight path, with these five words, you will not walk in this world in vain." ”

Zhang Shixing looked at Tyrant Zhao and smiled, and said, "Tyrant Shangshu and I are fellow believers. ”

Storm Zhao shook his head and said: "I'm not as good as you, you have to use force in troubled times, but I hate me as a literati, I can't go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country." ”

Zhang Shixing smiled bitterly and said: "Although I am a martial artist, I am useless, but the Yan army is killing more and more, when will the world be stable?" ”

Tyranny Zhao said worriedly: "I came from Yanying, the king of Yan is like a wolf and a tiger, but Your Majesty is like a sheep, I'm afraid the world will change hands." ”

Zhang Shixing was startled when he heard this: "It's not like this." Although King Yan defeated the southern army twice in the Hutuo River, there are still more than 100,000 troops in the Shenghou place, and there are 100,000 horses in the Ping'an place. ”

Storm Zhao said: "I'm afraid that the king of Yan is desperate, bypassing the fortified city, and going straight to the Beijing Division, although the Beijing Division has 200,000 soldiers, all of them are people who have not been in battle, and they are vulnerable." That's a world at stake. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Then we will hurry to Liaodong and order Yang Wen to send troops to Beiping, so that King Yan has some scruples and does not dare to go south." ”

Storm Zhao said: "I hope so." ”

Without further ado, on this day, Bang Zhao and others came to Beizhen, the location of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division. They entered the city and met Yang Wen, the governor of the left capital.

When Yang Wen heard that Storm Zhao was coming, he greeted him and welcomed Storm Zhao and his party into the lobby of the Yamen of the Capital Division and sat down.

Yang Wen arched his hand to Tyrant Zhao and said: "Tyranny Shangshu, I've worked hard all the way, I don't know why I came to my Liaodong Capital Office?" ”

Violent Zhao said: "I am here to pass on the emperor's message." ”

Yang Wen sighed, did not kneel down to receive the order, and asked: "Tyrannical Shangshu, thousands of miles away, just to pass on a message?" ”

Tyrant Zhao didn't think it was too bad and said: "The imperial court plans that the three-way army of Liaodong, Zhending, and Dezhou will attack Beiping, and I am specially ordered to pass on the decree." ”

Yang Wen smiled when he heard this: "The imperial court should issue an order to Marquis Sheng, he is the general of Pingyan, and he will organize the three-way attack." ”

Storm Zhao said: "I have informed the Marquis of Sheng, but he thinks that Yang Dudu is highly respected, so it is better for me to say it in person." ”

Yang Wen snorted and said, "He is interesting, but he is tired of the tyrannical Shangshu and runs again." ”

Storm Zhao said: "It's nothing for me to work hard, it's just that the swallow thief is uneven, and Your Majesty can't sleep well." ”

Yang Wendao: "That's because the court used non-people, Li Jiujiang was Zhao Kuo in the current dynasty, and he could only talk on paper, and he lost 500,000 troops in vain." Sheng Yong is just a mediocre general, with 300,000 horses, and he was also killed by the Yan army. If I am handsome, the swallow thief will be flat early. ”

Tyrant Zhao said with a smile: "Before leaving, the emperor once said to me, all the affairs of Liaodong are entrusted to you, if you can take Beiping, you will be crowned a marquis immediately." ”

Yang Wendao: "Is that really the case? ”

Violent Zhao said: "I am the secretary of the Criminal Department, and I am also the envoy of the Qin, how can I laugh." ”

Yang Wen stood up and said: "Okay, I will immediately send troops to Shanhaiguan, first capture Yongping, and then go down to Beiping." ”

Storm Zhao got up and high-fived him and said, "Okay, Yang Dudu, he really deserves to be the only remaining general of the Taizu Dynasty, and he is full of pride." ”

Yang Wen laughed, suddenly thought of something, sat down and said, "No, after I have relieved my worries first, it will not be too late to send troops south." ”

Storm Zhaoqi said: "Yang Dudu, what other worries do you have?" ”

Yang Wen was so angry that he paused again and again: "Tyrannical Shangshu, you don't know anything. Since the King of Ning moved inward, the city of Daning was occupied by the King of Zhongning, and his subordinate Tatars often harassed me in the territory of Liaodong, and I was overwhelmed, and besieged Yongping several times, but they all returned in vain. So I had to pull out this thorn in the eye first, a thorn in the flesh, before I could go south. ”

Violent Zhao said angrily: "This Queen Mother Zhongning has a lot of ambitions, and she has the idea of taking Kaipingwei and Daningwei, and then coming to fight Guangningwei, so I really want to teach her a good lesson." ”

Yang Wen sighed: "Easier said than done, my Liaodong soldiers have fought several times, and there is a great shortage of war horses, so I ordered the king of North Korea to pay tribute to the good horses, who knows that their officials have replaced all the good horses with horses, which are not as fast as my foot soldiers." Most of those Mongols are elite horsemen, coming and leaving suddenly, and I really can't do anything about them. ”

Storm Zhao glanced back at Zhang Shixing and said, "Commander Zhang, you have a deep relationship with the Queen Mother of Zhongning, can you go to Daningwei with me and persuade her to obey the court and stop harassing Liaodong?" ”

Zhang Shixing was full of reluctance to see Tana again, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to give up his hand and promise: "The last general will obey his orders and am willing to serve him." ”
