Chapter 168: Staying overnight
Everyone followed behind Chai Rong, and then turned into the small tent next to the big tent of the capital eunuch, and under the bright lights, a huge military sand table jumped in front of them.
Chai Rong picked up a long wooden stick resting on the sand table, pointed to the Yellow River marked with yellow mud, and said lightly: "North of Kaifeng, all rely on this moat, how can you guard it?" ”
As soon as Li Zhongyi heard this, his heart was clear, and his previous high remarks about the Yellow River Sailor must have reached Chai Rong's ears.
"Hebei must build a strong village, Henan must rely on the protection of the water division, water 6 and royal, each other is the trend of horns, then the Beijing division is safe." Li Zhongyi gave the answer very wisely, and then waited for Chai Rong to give further instructions.
Chai Rong smiled faintly, and asked Wang Pu again: "Wang Qiwu, what is the existing warship of my Great Zhou?" ”
Wang Pu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there is one warship with 500 materials, ten warships with 300 materials, and about 100 warships below the remaining 100 materials. ”
Well, we have to step up. The long wooden stick in Chai Rong's hand suddenly pointed to the northwest, "The party has a good horse." ”
Li Gu thought to himself, Chai Rong asked to strengthen the water division, and at the same time, he was worried about the good horses of the Dingyan army, did he want to attack the Liu family nested in Taiyuan again?
Fan Zhen glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was in a good mood, and he understood in his heart that this guy's strategic strategy of taking the Hetao first and then Youyan not only reminded Chai Rong, but also won Chai Rong's approval.
The Khitans have a vast territory and 200,000 armor, and once the war between the two sides starts in full swing, it will be a strategic decisive battle. It will definitely be delayed. The material consumption of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army is an astronomical amount.
If, according to what Li Zhongyi mentioned. first took the territory of the party members of the Dingyan Army, and in a big turn, he obtained tens of thousands of warlike horses in the meander.
The Hequ horse, the endurance of the long journey may be insufficient, but the assault of the charge is far better than that of the short Khitan horse.
With the assistance of cavalry troops, even if it is an infantry army on horseback, the mobility of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army. It will definitely be greatly strengthened.
In this way, Chai Rong's Northern Expedition plan has countless more choices. At least. can contain the Khitans, dare not gather troops in one place, and devote the strength of the country to fight against the Great Zhou in an all-round way.
That night, Chai Rong ignored the opposition of his ministers. Leng stayed in the army of the Breakers.
Early in the morning. Chai Rong got up early, and after changing clothes, he slowly paced out of the big tent.
Immediately upon him, a group of soldiers of the ragged army with bare hands and short coats were returning to the camp under the leadership of the officer.
Nearly 10,000 people participated in the morning exercise, but there were not many footsteps. Obviously, Li Zhongyi had ordered it in advance. Don't disturb the good dreams of His Majesty.
Chai Rong couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards around him, one by one, showing nervousness.
The tragedy of Tai'a's reversal, the sharp blade of the country, how can it be manipulated by one person, such a simple truth, is it only Wang Pu who knows?
Li Zhongyi and Fu Zhaoxin received Chai Rong's summons, and hurriedly rushed over side by side to accompany them, Fan Zhen also got up early, and had already made a big circle in the barracks, and happened to return at this time.
After the morning exercise, the entire army of the Broken Captives heard the sound of reading loudly, "The way of heaven is to make up for the ......deficiency if there is more than is lost."
Chai Rong listened carefully for a while, and suddenly asked Li Zhongyi with a smile: "Don't plan to teach the Four Books and Five Classics?" ”
Li Zhongyi hurriedly bowed down and replied: "The Four Books and Five Classics are extremely exquisite, and even Weichen is difficult to learn them, not to mention that the foundation of these rough men is too thin, and it is inevitable that it will be too difficult to learn." ”
Chai Rong took a deep look at Li Zhongyi, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", isn't it difficult?
Obviously, Li Zhongyi has a lot of "prejudices" against Confucian classics.
However, when the soldiers and men study, it is enough to know the basic principles of loyalty and patriotism, and it is not to participate in the imperial examination and enter the jinshi, and Chai Rong is too lazy to study it deeply.
Fan Zhen frowned, and was quite unhappy in his heart, what kind of ghost is Li Wuyi doing?
As a long-experienced Xianghai, Fan Zhen's eyes are like torches, and he can see through it at a glance, and Li Zhongyi is a little bit of a careful thought about the foundation of Confucianism.
During breakfast, Chai Rong did something that Li Zhongyi didn't expect, he actually took the dishes and chopsticks, lined up with the soldiers, and waited for the meal to eat.
Good guy, bluff the soldiers who are queuing, the soldiers in front of and behind Chai Rong, don't say anything, and don't know where to put their hands?
The prime ministers, Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, looked at each other one by one, they had all been persuaded hard just now, Chai Rong insisted on doing this, what could he do?
Li Zhongyi also sighed secretly in his heart, Chai Rong made such a big show, at least stealing half of the limelight from him.
The ancients really can't be underestimated, Chai Rong has no teacher, and he actually took the effect of the show to the extreme.
It really deserves to be a generation of heroes!
After Chai Rong made a meal, he squatted with a group of soldiers, he swallowed the mutton in his mouth, and asked a soldier gently: "The food on weekdays is the same as today?" ”
The soldier was stunned for a while, and did not dare to raise his head, but replied in a low voice, "You have eaten very well, and you have broth every meal, and the prisoner has not treated the brothers slowly." ”
Chai Rong nodded, and seeing that the soldier's speech was quite neat, he asked him again: "Why did you come to be a soldier?" ”
The soldier thought for a long time and whispered, "At first, it was because his family was poor and he couldn't survive anymore, and he wanted to eat in the army." Now, the villain has followed the invigilator to read some books and figured out a truth, without a country, how can there be a home? The eunuch tasted the words, the fame was taken immediately, the Huns were not broken, why should they be at home? The villain voluntarily followed His Majesty to the Northern Expedition! ”
Chai Rong was speechless for a while, and after a while, he asked another soldier: "Are you afraid of Khitan barbarians?" ”
"I used to be scared, but now I'm not afraid. The capital eunuch often told everyone that in the battle of Gaoping, His Majesty took the lead and broke the feat of the Khitan. The soldier was bold and looked at Chai Rong with a look of admiration in his eyes.
Chai Rong is such a hero, he can understand at a glance that this soldier's worship of him is completely from his heart!
Wang Pu sighed secretly, Li Wujiao, Li Wujiao, you are really a good soldier.
Fan Zhen glanced at the serious Li Zhongyi, and the original suspicion of Li Zhongyi in his heart dissipated more than half.
Putting aside Li Zhongyi's "bad habit" of disrespecting Confucianism, a handsome minister who teaches by word and deed, personally teaches the lowest soldiers, and keeps in mind the principle of loyalty and patriotism, is indeed trustworthy!
This kind of person is not loyal, can it be said that the feudal towns with heavy troops and always coveting the supreme imperial power, such as Li Chongjin, are more trustworthy?
Isn't that ridiculous?
After breakfast, the story of Chai Rong personally cooking has spread throughout the entire military camp!
Li Zhongyi wanted to send Chai Rong away and ride home again, but Chai Rong was directly called to the royal carriage, "Li Wuyi, you accompany me back to Kaifeng." ”
Li Zhongyi hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't resist Chai Rong's cold gaze, so he had to board Chai Rong's royal chariot in full view of everyone, and carefully sat down by the door of the carriage.
"I didn't misread you." Chai Rong only said this sentence, then took out the "Three Character Classic" from his sleeve and read it attentively.
Li Zhongyi sat by the car door, inevitably thinking about it in his head, Comrade Lao Chai called him into the car, but left him aside, what does this mean?
From leaving Chenqiaoyi to entering Fengqiumen, Chai Rong always studied alone, and didn't pay attention to Li Zhongyi at all.
The tiger was on his side, and Li Zhongyi had to look at his nose and nose, as if he was an old monk participating in Zen, and he always sat straight.
Chai Rong suddenly put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile, and said, "You go home." ”
"The minister retired." Li Zhongyi saluted, got down from the imperial chariot, and after seeing off Chai Rong's brigade, he hurriedly got on his horse and went home.
Li Zhongyi saw Li Dahe in Mrs. Xue's room, Li Dahe stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As a father, I know that you will definitely not be at ease, and you will definitely ask for leave to go home." ”
"Grandpa, after all, he is the first offspring of the child, so he must be a little nervous." Li Zhongyi held Tianya in his left hand and Bao Ge'er in his right hand, the two little babies were surprisingly well-behaved today, and they didn't cry.
Mrs. Xue sighed and said, "These two ghosts, as soon as your eldest brother comes back, you won't make trouble, and the strength to be a mother on weekdays is not small." ”
Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "They, knowing that my eldest brother is busy with the family business, they can't bear to trouble me." ”
However, before Li Zhongyi's voice fell, his younger brother Bao Ge'er actually urinated directly on his hands.
Mrs. Xue laughed so much that she was about to lose her breath, and Xi'er didn't wait for her master's command, so she stretched out her hands and took Brother Bao'er from Li Zhongyi's hand.
After enjoying the joy of family, Li Zhongyi took a brisk step and returned to his courtyard.
Li Zhongyi went directly to the bottle, and the little girl who was cleaning at the gate of the courtyard, as soon as she saw Li Zhongyi, she immediately threw down the broom in her hand and floated to the main house like a swallow.
The little girl shouted as she ran: "Lady, lady, the master is back." ”
It's really ignorant, it's a pregnant woman lying inside, and she can't move, Li Zhongyi was worried that something would happen to the bottle, so he followed the little girl into the house in three steps and two steps.
Fortunately, Li Zhongyi's feet were fast, and the bottle that was originally lying on the bed was just about to get up to greet him, but he stopped him.
"How? Okay? Li Zhongyi grabbed the bottle's shoulders and asked her with a smile.
The bottle stroked her round belly and said a little shyly: "The little guy with the belly is very bad, and he can't sleep every night." ”
Li Zhongyi took a deep breath, took the pulse for the bottle, and stroked the bottle's stomach for a while, well, the delivery is imminent, this little guy is already head and foot, just waiting for the day when the melon is ripe.
"Master, don't worry, the old lady has to come to check the pulse of the slave family three times a day. One day, there was thunder and heavy rain in the sky, and the old lady came over with an umbrella, and she was soaked all over. The bottle leaned on Li Zhongyi's arms and muttered about the recent things in the family.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, his father Li Dahe already has three sons and one daughter, but he doesn't have a grandchild yet, so he is naturally very nervous!
Hugging his grandson or not his son, Li Dahe should be in a hurry to hug his eldest grandson, right? (To be continued!)
ps: Brothers are so fierce today, it's already 5o2 monthly passes in one afternoon, and there are only a few monthly passes missing, continue to cheer for Sikong to have a total explosion!
