543, Atonement (3)

With his mind already decided, Zheng Fei immediately summoned Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa and told them that from now on, the two of them would lead their subordinates to prepare and be ready to go to the northwest to fight the Tanguts at any time!

Pang Wanchun naturally responded to this, patted his chest and said, please rest assured, the independent army will complete the task! And Liu Faguo was obviously stunned for a moment, and the surprise on his face flashed before he reacted to the matter, and then, the two left the Commander's Mansion together, but it didn't take long for Liu Faguo to turn back as Zheng Fei expected, and his face was full of apprehension.

"Commander, subordinates ......," Liu Fa hesitated, hesitating, but finally said, "You can hand over this important task to your subordinates, your subordinates are very moved, and your subordinates and all the officers and men of the Sixth Army are willing to die for the commander!" It's just that the subordinates have a doubt...... You're not afraid...... After the subordinates returned to the northwest, ......? ”

Zheng Fei interrupted him with a faint smile, "I understand what Liu Shuai means, but I, Zheng someone, have always been suspicious of people, and I don't doubt about employing people, don't worry, I can trust you, when you go to the northwest, no matter what happens, I will believe in your loyalty." ”

Liu Fa's heart trembled when he heard this, and he was a little uncontrollable excited, and hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, "Thank you for your trust!" ”

Zheng Fei nodded, stood up and walked to Liu Fa's side to help him up, "Liu Shuai, let me tell you the truth, although I gave the imperial court two choices, either go to the northwest to fight the Western Xia people, or go to the southeast to fight the rebels, but I used other ways and methods, I believe that I will definitely be able to promote the imperial court to let us go to the northwest, so I will let you and Wan Chun prepare in advance." ”

Liu Fa's heart jumped, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face,

Seeing this, Zheng Fei continued, "You may also find it strange, as long as you are not stupid, you know that going to the northwest is many times more dangerous than going to the southeast, why do I have to pick the most dangerous one?" Because no matter how we fight with the Great Song Dynasty, we and they are all descendants of the Chinese nation after all, but the Tangut people are different, they are captives, they will slaughter and enslave our people! The nation is in difficulty, and the husband is responsible, so I chose to go to the northwest. You are a fierce general in the northwest, the name of "Liu Zhanshen" resounded in the northwest, now that you are not there, the Western Xia people will be so rampant, only if you return to the northwest, our victory will be greater! This time, I am determined to contribute to the nation and drive Xia Lu out of our land, so even if you are determined to bear me, I will still let you return to the northwest! ”

Liu Fa looked at Zheng Fei as if he was stunned, and his face was full of deep shock and ...... Admiration, he was just about to speak, but Zheng Fei waved his hand to interrupt him and continued, "Before you go, I just want you to think about one thing, are you willing to continue to return to the Great Song Dynasty to be a watchdog who can't eat and starve, or are you willing to work with us to create a new future, and stand tall and proud that you are a warrior who protects your family and defends the country!" ”

Liu Fa's eyes lit up, he didn't speak, he just puffed up his chest and flew a standard Heavenly Dao military salute to Zheng!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As Zheng Fei expected, a few days later, the imperial court let the Heavenly Dao Army send troops to the northwest The holy decree finally reached Jingdong Road, Zheng Fei did not make any delay after receiving the order, and immediately announced that Pang Wanchun's independent army and Liu Fa's 10,000 Western Army officially formed the Northwest Army of the Heavenly Dao Army, with Pang Wanchun as the commander and Liu Fa as the deputy commander, and the 30,000 army will set off tomorrow to fight against the Western Xia!

The next day, it was a good day with a bright sun, in front of Weizhou City, 30,000 Northwest Army lined up neatly, the battle flag fluttered, the soldiers were solemn, neatly equipped, and held their heads high.

Zheng Fei rode out of the city gate on a high-headed horse, and when he came to the army, a pair of tiger eyes slowly swept across the army, and his angular face was full of fortitude.

"Soldiers!" Zheng Fei shouted loudly, and suddenly, more than 30,000 pairs of eyes all looked at Zheng Fei's body, everyone thought that Zheng Fei was going to give an inspirational speech, and they all grew up and listened carefully, but they soon found out that they were wrong, and only heard Zheng Fei shout next,

"I have made a request to the Imperial Court, after you set out, the Imperial Court must fully supply you with food and grass, and all places must allow you to pass smoothly and provide you with everything you need! Remember, if the court dares to let any of you go hungry, I will go straight to Bianliang! If the imperial court dares to make things difficult for you in any way, I will go straight to Bianliang! If the court dares to have any bad intentions against you, I will smash Bianliang! You can go boldly, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I just want you to remember that behind you will always be me and 150,000 comrades-in-arms, as well as 5 million Jingdong people as your backing! ”

Although this passage is nondescript and does not seem at all like what a commander should say before inspiring the army that is about to go on an expedition, somehow the hearts of the 30,000 soldiers felt a different kind of strength at the same time, giving them confidence and courage!

Zheng Fei continued to say in a loud voice, "I won't talk about other big truths, and in the end, I will only say two words. The first sentence, if the nation is in trouble, the husband is responsible! Summon up your courage, take up your weapons, and beat the Tanguts to death for me! Promote my military might, look up to my heavenly military might, look up to my Chinese military might! ”

30,000 people shouted three times in unison, "Look up to the prestige of our army!" Look up to me for the military might of the Heavenly Dao! Look up to my Chinese military might! ”

Zheng Fei waved his hand, and the audience fell silent again, he was silent for a moment, and shouted again, "Second sentence...... Give Lao Tzu back alive! Let's go! ”

The army of 30,000 set off and strode towards the northwest.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The scene of the Northwest Army's expedition all fell in Cai You's eyes, this was the first time he saw the Heavenly Dao Army preparing to fight, the kind of majesty that gave up on me, the courage of life and death, the kind of long sword came out, and the domineering spirit of who in the world and the battle was deeply shocked him, although he didn't understand military affairs, but he could also see that the Heavenly Dao Army sent this time was definitely the strongest elite, and he definitely didn't use any rabble to prevaricate the court, and dealt with things, he finally let go of his heart and breathed a long sigh of relief,

Subsequently, Cai You quickly returned to the prison palace to the emperor and wrote a book of the most comfortable and pleasant recitals written since he came to Jingdong Road, in which he described that Jingdong Road was slightly appeased so that Zheng Linfeng was shocked after receiving the will of the imperial court, and how his face was "like a mourning test", and then how Zheng Linfeng wanted to send an army composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled to the northwest to deal with our emperor, and at the critical moment, it was he Cai You's "righteousness" to persuade Zheng Linfeng, so that he "felt ashamed", Only then did he decide to send a real army to the northwest to serve the emperor, and under his own efforts, Liu Fa, a rebel general of the Great Song Dynasty, was also among them.

Thinking of this, Cai You couldn't help but think, thank you a lot of Zheng Linfeng, but you say that Zheng Linfeng is a fool? He actually sent the most powerful independent army of the Tiandao Army that he had heard of, as well as Liu Fa, who had just rebelled, to the northwest, so that the independent army would inevitably suffer losses or even be wiped out, not to mention that Liu Fa would most likely rebel when he returned to the northwest. If it were him, he would just deal with the imperial court, so why be so serious? Did his brain break down to make this stupid move?

Cai You hesitated for a moment and then picked up the pen again, and wrote down all the words that Zheng Fei said before the army set out today.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Cai You's recital was quickly delivered to Tokyo, and the emperor looked at the first half of the dragon and was really happy, but when he looked back, his face suddenly sank, and he smashed Bianliang? This is a feudal town of the Great Song Dynasty, should it be said? Threat, this is a naked threat!

The emperor couldn't help but be furious, and couldn't help but pick up his favorite teacup on the table and smash it to the ground, which frightened Cai Jing, Zheng Juzhong, Wang Anzhong, Zhang Bangchang and other ministers who were in the hall in the hall, and he didn't know what Cai You's recital was written, which made the emperor so angry, and they all hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked Zhao Ji to calm his anger, so as not to anger the dragon body, especially Cai Jing, who was most worried that Cai You would say something wrong and anger the emperor,

Zhao Ji showed them the recital, and everyone saw that their faces changed, and they all reprimanded Zheng Linfeng, and some denounced him for having no emperor, no court, and no crime. Some denounced his words and deeds fully exposed the essence that he was not sincerely obedient, and some denounced him for his wolf ambition, which will become a disaster in the future, but no one can say a way to counter Zheng Fei, and although Zheng Fei's move was rude and reckless, it showed his determination to the emperor and the court very clearly: Don't give me any bad intentions, otherwise I will not be polite!

Soon, the ministers scolded and scolded, and their voices gradually became quieter, because they found that the emperor's face did not improve because of their rebuke of Zheng Linfeng, but became more and more gloomy.

Finally, the emperor asked them coldly, "Ladies and gentlemen, what can you do about Zheng Linfeng?" ”

The room was silent, and no one dared to answer.

The emperor was disappointed, this is his ministers, it is because of their incompetence that they have to abandon the ancestral family law and accept the conditions of a thief, and it is also because of their incompetence that they have to endure the threat of a feudal town! When they need them so badly, they can't give themselves a piece of advice, even if it's not feasible!

The emperor sighed, slowly leaned on the dragon chair, and his words were filled with deep tiredness, "Spread the decree, make every effort to supply the 30,000 feudal troops on Jingdong Road with sufficient food and grass, and the state capitals and counties along the way must not make it difficult for them!" Who dares to cause trouble for me...... It will be severely punished! ”
