Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu were excitedly calculating their military exploits, and their gains were not small, but their eyes were staring straight at each other.

This battle has become a competition ground for the two, and both sides don't want each other to make a bad move, but it's a pity that these military exploits are not even farts in front of Peng Qi, because the forbidden army led by the two has losses.

Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu stood in front of a row of white cloths and couldn't raise their heads in shame, but Peng Qi didn't give them any affection, and scolded loudly in front of a group of forbidden soldiers: "What are you like? You're embarrassed to compare military feats, good! Like than isn't it? You're more dead than any of your Praetorian brothers! Check it out! ”

The more Peng Qiyue said, the more angry he became, he opened a piece of white sermon and said, "Yang Huaiyu, look at who this is?" If I'm not mistaken, he was your family's loyal personal soldier, and he had more than 20 knife wounds in this battle, and the arrow was three pounds when he was taken down! But what are you doing? ”

At this time, Yang Huaiyu couldn't look at it, lying on the veteran's body in front of everyone and crying like a child, while Di Qing suddenly understood his responsibility and meaning, he wanted to protect the lives of every forbidden soldier under him.

The army is conquest, life and death are impermanent, but a good general will definitely cherish his soldiers, and only by valuing their lives can the soldiers forget about their lives.

Shame was useless in the face of the corpse, all the two of them could do was swear in front of the corpse.

Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu cut off their hair: "I, Di Qing, Yang Huaiyu made a heavy oath in front of all of you, from now on, I will look at my parents as my own high hall, and my children as my own, and I will be punished by people and gods for violating this oath!" ”

Peng Qi nodded slightly: "There are no immortals in the war, the official family explained before leaving, every soldier's life is precious, but it must be meaningful to sacrifice, you have obviously occupied the general trend, you can completely avoid their sacrifice, but you are still lax, from now on you will bear the lives of all soldiers to fight, a wrong decision, any mistake, is irresponsible to the robe!" ”

"We will keep this statement of the official family in mind!"

This is the most important lesson that Zhao Zhen asked Peng Qi to teach Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu, no matter when, the preservation of living force is one of the most important things for the army, and senseless sacrifices can only make his soldiers deviate from morality.

The control of Hongzhou City has been completely in the hands of the Western Expeditionary Army, which is Li Deming's rear, and there is naturally no shortage of food and forage.

10,000 people captured the Tiemen Pass, which was not far from Hongzhou, and let go of the reinforcements within the party, while the remaining 40,000 people had to defend Hongzhou City to resist the reinforcements coming from Yanzhou, and Li Deming's 100,000 troops retreated, which was a huge challenge to the Western Expeditionary Army, which only had more than 40,000 people left.

The battle to defend the city seems to be easy, but it is not, the enemy who is cut off from the back will inevitably fight back desperately, and they must prepare for the worst.

This is also an important reason why Zhao Zhen sent the most elite troops in the Fourth Army, and even the guards of the entire palace left 3,000 people from the Guards Division, and the other royal squads were sent to the Western Expeditionary Army.

Everyone knows that this battle is about the prestige of the official family.

Li Deming can afford to lose, Di Qing, Yang Huaiyu can afford to lose, and even Peng Qi and others can lose, but he Zhao Zhen can't afford to lose!

This battle is Zhao Zhen's most crazy gamble, so he will suppress all the elites of the forbidden army, not that Zhao Zhen lost this battle and lost the face of the official family, but once he loses, if he wants to fight in the future, he will be subject to all kinds of resistance, the distrust of the people, the timidity of civil officials, the suspicion and cowardice of military generals, all of which will become unprecedented resistance.

Let Zhao Zhen stop the conquest, and see that his own land is in the hands of the party people, the Liao people, and even the Dali barbarians, Zhao Zhen will go crazy with grievances!

Fortunately, the army of the expedition was angry, Zhao Zhen announced the news of the victory of Hongzhou City in front of the civil and military officials in the Daqing Palace, anyway, Hongzhou City has been defeated, and it is meaningless to keep it secret, and the news of the victory of the Western Expeditionary Army will definitely spread faster than the plague.

The court suddenly thundered with joy, for the civil and military officials, this can be regarded as a rare victory in the foreign war of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, congratulations!

Li Di, who was so old that he was about to lose his teeth, came out of the class and said: "The old minister congratulates His Majesty and congratulates the Great Song Dynasty!" This expedition to the party is to promote the prestige of our state, and the way to cut down is the magnanimity of the country! ”

"Grace of the country! What a country bearing! But Lao Chen felt that the real magnanimity of the country was that although the country was big, the belligerent would perish, and although the country was safe, forgetting the war would be dangerous! ”

There are always people who pour cold water, not to mention the firefighters appointed by themselves, Lu Zongdao.

Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "This expedition can be regarded as a punishment for Xiaoxiao, self-defense and counterattack, I don't think this is a belligerent move." ”

Lu Zongdao was not embarrassed at all: "Although the minister is a governor of political affairs, he is also the right speaker, in charge of sarcasm and regulations, and the minister just reminds the officials not to use military force......"

"Presumptuous! Lu Zongdao, how dare you speak to the official family like this?! ”

In the face of Sancai's accusation, Lu Zongdao shook his head slightly: "There is not a word of rudeness in what the old minister said, and the sarcastic admonition is the accusation of the minister, in order to stop the official from making mistakes in the future, which is also the exhortation of the official to the minister!" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "That's right!" Sancai should not discuss this matter in the court, it is I who let Lu Xianggong concurrently serve as the right speaker, this is also what it should be, always let me keep my sanity and not fall into the abyss of reckless force, this is a good thing, but Lu Xianggong, if you do this, it will hit the confidence of other courtiers, and you can play it in the future, don't say so at the super meeting. ”

Lu Zongdao thought about it and apologized frankly: "The minister is guilty, and the minister will not admonish him at the court meeting unless he has to." ”

"It's so good, I plan to hold a banquet in Qionglin Garden in the evening, and participate in the grand event with the civil and military officials and the people of Tokyo!"

"Long live the Great Song Dynasty, long live Your Majesty!"

Even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were so accommodating, Zhao Zhen was still a little worried, the matter of the Western Expedition spread so quickly in the Great Song Dynasty, which meant that the chicks in the harem would also know......

Zhao Zhen went to the harem immediately after he dispersed, and sure enough, the first thing Yang Caiwei did when she saw Zhao Zhen with a cold face was to pounce and bite, fortunately there were three talents to stop her, otherwise it would not be Zhao Zhen who was missing a piece of meat.

With bloody human flesh in her mouth, Yang Caiwei looked at Zhao Zhen with a hideous face and roared: "You lie to me and use me!" How can you be so unkind to me when you make me a pawn in your game?! ”

Yang Caiwei only found out at this time that she had always been a chess piece in the dark, and had been used by Zhao Zhen, she already knew about the Song army's attack on Hongzhou City, but she heard it from the palace maids chatting, and there was no movement at all in the Dang Xiang Secret Hall in Tokyo City, and at this time she knew that she was being used and ruthlessly used by Zhao Zhen......

can't contact the party Xiang Mitang to explain that either they all withdraw, or they are controlled, no matter what kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do, no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty except for the official family can be so hand-eyed.

I didn't expect to give everything to this man, he actually had to use his love to deal with his own people, at this time Yang Caiwei had lost her mind, and her beautiful and moving face was full of hideous drinks: "You said that you wanted to crown Li Deming as the king of Xiping, and you said that you wanted to determine the identity of the party members, why, why did you lie to me and use me!" ”

"I didn't lie to you, I did name him Li Deming as the king of Xiping, and I did seal the party as the difficult army! If you want to talk about utilization, I just told Li Deming with your mouth in advance, it was he who relaxed his vigilance, didn't he know that the slightest carelessness in the game of great powers would be shattered? The way of using soldiers, in odd and dangerous, it is his own relaxation of vigilance and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"But since you gave him the title of King of Xiping, why did you send troops to the west to conquer the party?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Yang Caiwei's eyes and felt unhappy for a while, as if his party should bully the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty's resistance is atrocity, what kind of bullshit logic is this?

Zhao Zhen sneered and said, "You slapped me in the face, not only can't I be angry, but I also want to thank you?" Aggression is aggression, besiege my Yanzhou City, ask me for a title, are you a bully when I am a big song? Someone came to me and brought Yang Caiwei down. Sancai, you go to see the injury, how can you bear such a big mouthful? ”

Sancai smiled bitterly with sweat on his face: "The slave doesn't hurt, but she was bitten by the mother, and it doesn't hurt...... No, oops! Official, light! ”

"Aren't you in pain?"
