On the ninth day of the second lunar month, four days after the departure of dozens of ministers who went to Hanjing Mansion, Zhao Dezhao took Shen Yilun, Yu Hao and others to Hanjing.

The imperial court sent off the ceremony on the fifth day of the second month, and today Zhao Dezhao set off again, and there was no send-off ceremony.

However, today's departure is still mighty, and Zhao Kuangyin is afraid that Zhao Guangyi will start in Zhao Dezhao's itinerary, so Han Chongyun sent 3,000 forbidden troops to accompany him, and all of them are cavalry.

Except for a few chariots prepared for Wenchen and his family, it can be said that it is light and simple.

From Kaifeng Mansion to Xiangyang, although there is a thousand miles, it is the core area of the Great Song Dynasty.

There are garrisons everywhere along the way, like Zhao Dezhao's father-in-law, Chen Sirang, who served as the envoy of the Protector Army, and was stationed in Xuzhou (Xuchang).

For Zhao Dezhao's safety, Zhao Kuangyin is also well-arranged.

Zhao Dezhao was in charge, and the ministers of the court almost didn't pull it this time, and all of them came to see him off.

Cheng Yi has been sent on the fifth day of the first month of February, and this time only someone needs to come.

Zhao Kuangyin saw him off at Xuande Gate, Prime Minister Zhao Pu led Wenchen to see him off at Daliang Gate, and most of the generals saw him off at the West Lake Post ten miles west of the city.

Nowadays, although the religion is corrupt, even in troubled times, it has its own system.

"Stay and go to Hanjing, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and the old minister is willing to spread the wings of the eagle and revitalize my Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Dezhao jumped off the horse and held the arm of this famous minister in the early Song Dynasty. "Dezhao just wants to hide for a few years to be idle, the prime minister has a heavy responsibility, and he has worked hard, Dezhao is here to thank him."

"Don't dare to be a ......" Zhao Pu held Zhao Dezhao's arm and said with a smile: "Your Majesty also talked to the old minister for a while, and the old minister is waiting for the good news of staying in Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Zhao Pu is indeed a capable person, and a few years ago, because of his opposition to Zhao Guangyi's dictatorship, he was demoted out of Beijing.

Now that Zhao Guangyi is seriously ill, and the power is gradually taken back by Zhao Kuangyin, the imperial court has become a center, and he feels much more relaxed.

For this prince who is good at Wen Tao and Wu Strategy, Zhao Pu now attaches great importance to it.

Zhao Dezhao also attaches great importance to him, among the famous ministers in the early Song Dynasty, he is definitely an outstanding one, and compared with most ministers who violate laws and disciplines and are corrupt, his ethics is also worthy of a thumbs up.

"Dezhao is here, and he will definitely create a sharp weapon for my Great Song Dynasty, so that the prime minister and the ministers can see Huaxia recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in their lifetime."

This sentence is a bit big, the Liao Dynasty was established decades earlier than the Song Dynasty, and it guarded the key places in the north, and the soldiers were strong and strong.

Today's Song Dynasty is still a younger brother in front of the Liao Dynasty, and almost no ministers believe that the Song Dynasty can be compared with the Liao Dynasty.

Hearing Zhao Dezhao say this, whether he believed it or not, he bowed down and said, "May I wait for good news." ”

Zhao Pu knew more, and he was touched more deeply, and his eyes immediately turned red. "If you can see this day, the old minister will die without regrets."

His ancestral home is Qi County, Youzhou, and after the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were ceded by Shi Jingjiao, he became a rootless person.

For the Northern Expedition, he expected more than anyone else.

Zhao Dezhao smiled and said in a low voice: "At the latest, in two years at the latest, Dezhao will let the prime minister see hope." ”

Saying goodbye to Wenchen, the two sides bowed to each other three times, and Zhao Dezhao led the horse out of the urn city and turned over on the horse.

Behind him, a group of ministers bowed down for a long time.

Out of the girder gate, the convoy behind him followed. "Second brother, hurry up and persuade the fourth sister and them, my head is too big to cry."

When Zhao Tingmei set off from the palace, she had been by Zhao Dezhao's side, and she was envious that Zhao Dezhao could go to the domain.

He is only nineteen years old this year, and he is still a teenager who wants to fly high.

But now that he is also married, and he has been entrusted with important tasks by Zhao Kuangyin, it is impossible to run out to play.

In the carriage, the four sisters and several of them cried and cried one by one, from childhood to adulthood, they were all brought up by Zhao Dezhao, and this time they were reluctant to separate.

Zhao Dezhao comforted them for a while, and promised to take them to play when Xiangyang settled down, so that she and the fifth sister stopped crying.

But the fourth brother Zhao Defang, the sixth sister was not appeased well, especially the sixth sister, knowing that she would not see the second brother in the future, she cried heartbreakingly.

On the side of West Lake Station, the number of generals is much less.

Nowadays, most of the generals are stationed in foreign enemies, and there are also large armies in Houshu and the south to suppress bandits, and there are not many generals in Kaifeng Mansion.

The generals of the forbidden army led by Han Chongyun had already prepared their drinks and waited for Zhao Dezhao's arrival.

Zhao Dezhao jumped off the horse, clasped his fingers together, and performed a military salute for later generations.

Except for Han Chongyun, a few people returned the salute with such a military salute, and the other generals all clenched their fists with their right hands and slammed their left chests in return.

Jinyiwei has been established for more than three months, and Zhao Dezhao, the military salute of Jinyiwei, has combined the military salute of later generations with modern military salutes.

The superior salutes the subordinates, and the subordinates salute the chest to the superiors.

In addition, there is no one-knee prostration, only on ceremonial and sacrificial occasions, there is a prostration.

This set of concise and clear, but imposing standards has gradually spread with the circulation of the "Infantry Drill Code".

At least in Kaifeng Mansion, the forbidden army has gradually learned this set of military rites.

After the two sides finished saluting, Han Chongyun smiled and picked up the wine bowl in front of him. "The festival degree envoy is in the domain of Hanjing, the minister's duty is in the body, and he can't send it far, and once again he sends the festival degree to make the journey smooth."

Zhao Dezhao picked up the wine bowl, and when he saw that it was rice wine instead of white wine, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This big green bowl has more than a pound of wine in one night, and if it is white wine, he will be drunk.

"All the commanders and generals are stationed in the capital, and the safety of my father and emperor will be entrusted to the generals in the future. Three glasses of Dezhao water wine, salute the generals. ”

After drinking three bowls of rice wine in a row, I was not drunk, but my stomach was swollen. Zhao Dezhao smashed the bowl on the ground and shouted: "The road ahead is long, Dezhao does not dare to slack off." When he returns the next day, he will drink with the generals. ”

Han Chongyun also said loudly: "When the envoy returns, I am willing to be the striker and sweep the world for the Great Song Dynasty." ”

All the generals beat their chests and shouted in unison: "I hope that the coming day will be a general and help the Great Song Dynasty sweep the world." ”

Zhao Dezhao turned over and got on the horse, and Han Chongyun immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed: "I wish the festival a smooth journey." ”

Han Chongyun, the person with the highest official position, knelt down, and the other generals knelt down on one knee and bowed down on one knee whether they wanted it or not: "I wish the festival a smooth journey." ”

Behind them, four big men beat the drums on all sides, and in the sound of the drums, Zhao Dezhao waved his hand and said goodbye to the generals.

Zhao Tingmei was still sending each other off, away from the West Lake Station, before pouting and saying: "Speaking of which, Han Chongyun, the commander of the forbidden army, is two levels higher than you, but now he is slapping you on the back and bowing down to you, and he will definitely be impeached when he turns around." ”

Zhao Dezhao looked back and smiled: "Fourth Uncle is not angry that he hasn't bowed down to you, right?" ”

Zhao Tingmei was embarrassed and speechless.

Zhao Dezhao said again: "Fourth uncle, my nephew has something I want to say to you." ”

"Say."

"I, Zhao Song Guozuo, are not stable, you and I should work together to eliminate foreign enemies for Zhao Song. We must not lose a big one because of a small loss, and we must be provoked by others and hurt the feelings of our uncles and nephews. ”

Zhao Tingmei said: "Who dares! Whoever provokes must ask me if my sword is sharp! ”

Zhao Dezhao asked again: "Has the fourth uncle ever thought about where he will be in the future?" ”

Zhao Tingmei was a little dumbfounded. "I didn't think about it."

Zhao Dezhao said: "My nephew has thought about it. ”

"Where?"

Zhao Dezhao said: "The Northern Han Dynasty colluded with the Liao Dynasty to occupy Jinyang. When the Northern Han Dynasty is destroyed in the coming day, Jinyang will be the fief of the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle will be canonized as the king of Jin. ”

Zhao Tingmei understood at this time, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "The river is rich, if the river can be sealed, I will guard the northern frontier for Zhao Song." ”

Zhao Dezhao laughed and said: "Now although I, Zhao Song, have not set foot in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, nor have I captured Hezhong, but these two places are by no means the northern frontier of my Zhao Song." Fourth uncle, this world is very big, bigger than you can imagine......"

Ignoring him anymore, Zhao Dezhao also turned over and dismounted and walked to the carriage.

In the carriage, a few little guys didn't cry, but at this time, they all looked at Zhao Dezhao pitifully.

"The second brother promised you that he would take you to Hanjing for two years at most. When you get married, I'll send you back. ”

The fourth sister was ashamed. "The second brother deliberately made us laugh, and his heart can be punished."

Zhao Dezhao laughed and said: "In this life, the second brother must take care of you, let you marry the person you want to marry, and shelter you from the wind and rain." Let's go back......"

As soon as she said this, the sixth sister cried again. "Second brother, I want to ...... with you"

Of course this is impossible, not to mention that Xiangyang is still relatively chaotic, even Zhao Kuangyin is reluctant to have them around.

After persuading for a long time, their carriage turned around and went back under the escort of Zhao Tingmei.

At this time, even the fourth brother Zhao Defang couldn't help crying.

This Eight Sages King in the later romance is now just a child of more than seven years old.

Seeing that the carriage had walked out of a distance, Zhao Dezhao turned over and got on the horse and raised his right hand upward.

He clenched his right hand into a fist and extended his thumb and little finger. Immediately, the horn sounded, and the horse team of more than 3,000 people and the convoy immediately formed a formation.

A trumpet sounded, and immediately one after another, for several miles.

The sound of the horn is not only a march order, but also a different sound representing different speeds.

Zhao Dezhao stretched out a gesture of six, which meant that they had to march sixty miles every hour.

They were all cavalry, with only a dozen carriages, and the speed of fifteen kilometers per hour was a relatively normal marching speed.

No matter how fast it is, some horses can't stand the long journey.

There is no need to give orders back and forth, and on the march, the horn is the herald. Whether it's a faster speed, a lower speed, or an accident, there are different sound expressions.

Zhao Dezhao has always been in the middle position, not rising, nor lagging behind, following the army, marching to the southwest.

In Kaifeng Mansion, when he learned of Zhao Dezhao's trip, Zhao Guangyi's heart was like a knife, and this glory seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Have you checked all the prescriptions?"

"I asked the doctor for several pharmacies, and I also prepared medicine for people to try, and the effect was really good." Chen Congxin hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Zhongshu Ling, you are now in a weak body, so it is better to be cautious." ”

Zhao Guangyi couldn't bear it anymore. "I've not had sex for almost half a year, do I have to be a living dead all the time?"
