Jinyang City, Wangcheng ancestral hall.

Zhao Yong respectfully knelt in the ancestral hall, and according to the requirements of the ceremonial officer next to him, he saluted the ancestors of the Zhao family in the ancestral hall in turn. And the tablets of the ancestors of the Zhao family were respectfully placed on the big case, waiting for Zhao Yong to kneel and worship.

Zhao Yong didn't believe in the ghosts and gods, but now that he has traveled to the Warring States, he seems to be connected with the power of gods and ghosts. This makes him always very pious when he worships, hoping that the gods will not blame him for the sin of bowing down to their descendants, and that he will be able to do what he wants.

But this lap is also very hard, so much so that he even has a little weak legs. can only let Zhao Yuan stand up, when he walked out of the main hall, he saw Zhao Xian waiting with the other two elders, and when he saw Zhao Yong coming out, he leaned over and prepared to salute, Zhao Yong hurriedly walked a few steps and dragged Zhao Xian: "The kid came to Jinyang, he was originally running around to fight for Hu Lu, and he should have come to visit Wen Hou, but he bothered you to come in person, and it is really not a son of man." ”

"The king is here, and I have been waiting for a long time. Now that we are far away, if we can't meet each other in person, it will be our sin of neglect. ”

Zhao Yong stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao Xian's arm, and helped him to walk forward, from the outsider's point of view, he looked like a filial son and a virtuous grandson, and the two of them greeted each other, and no one mentioned the city gate yesterday, as if it had never happened. A group of people slowly walked forward to the palace of the royal city, Zhao Yong and Zhao Xian excused themselves, and in the end they only sat with Zhao Xian.

"I am glad to hear that you have come up to Jin, and the city celebrates. Guy Jincheng is mostly close to Hudi, and sometimes there are Hu people knocking on the side to provoke, which is too much to disturb. A certain number of people have heard that the monarch is good at governing the army, crusading against the ministers, and is known as the ambition of Jianxiang. If you send troops to fight Hu today, you will definitely be able to be blessed by your ancestors and succeed in the first battle. ”

Zhao Yong frowned, and what Zhao Xian said seemed to have another deep meaning: "Although Yong has the ambition of Jian Xiang, he really has no ability to Jian Xiang." Sending troops to the north is not only to protect the incense of the family temple from being cut off, but also to protect the safety of our country. If you can do your best, you will naturally be very good. ”

The old man deeply agreed with what the gentleman said. In the past, if it weren't for Zhao Xianggong uniting the clan and resisting the siege of Han and Weizhi's three families, Jincheng would have been conquered long ago, and naturally there would not be the glory of my Zhao clan today. The gentleman said that the maintenance of the family temple is endless, and it is indeed the heart of the old man. ”

Having said this, Zhao Yong would be too stupid if he couldn't hear the meaning anymore. "Zhao Guo is the Zhao State of Zhao Yong, and it is also the Zhao State of the Zhao Family. Jin Yang is always there, and the Jin Ancestral Hall incense is endless, since Zhao Xianggong, all the Zhao Marquis of the past dynasties are worshiped day and night, this is the belonging of the family. ”

However, the bird has no head and does not fly, and the fact that Zhao can reach this time is not only the work of the Zhao family, but also the result of the succession of Zhao Hou in the past dynasties. If the Zhao family can't support Zhao Hou, then they will inevitably kill each other and fight each other with swords; If the Marquis of Zhao can't believe in the Zhao family, then the country will inevitably be not a country, and the ministers will not be ministers. The two complement each other and should not be taken lightly. ”

"Since the kid succeeded to the throne, every time he thinks about the death of the ancestor and the funeral of the five countries, Zhao Guo is in danger and always can't sleep at night. It is to issue many orders, compile the people into the register, confiscate hidden fields, increase taxes, and emphasize agriculture and suppress business. Only by training troops in the north and defending in the south can we overcome Zhongshan and be ashamed. ”

"My uncle has said many times that there are many talents in the clan and they should be promoted as appropriate, and there is no problem with loneliness. But more often than not, within the clan, the children are unscrupulous, do not do their jobs, beat officials violently, and do not obey the legal system. Yousi mentioned that loneliness is the saddest, and there are no words for the heartache. ”

"As the elder of the family, Mr. also hopes to persuade the children of the clan more, those who are willing to make meritorious contributions, treat each other happily, if there are those who break the country's law and order for selfish interests, Lone will not be soft. There is no kindness before the law! ”

This passage is the most Zhao Yong has said in the past year or two. He once said that he would never explain his determination to change the Fa to anyone again, and without him, those who knew me would say that I was worried, and those who did not know me would say what I wanted. But in the face of pressure from the Zhao clan, he still gave in. At the end of the day, he still has illusions about these people.

He showed a warning to Zhao Xian, Zhao Guo In the final analysis, it is still Zhao Yong, the king, who has the final say, and the Zhao clan is just the clan of the king, and it is just my people. The purpose of changing the law is not for any one person, but for the entire Zhao State. I also attach great importance to the children of my family, and if I have some talents, I will also promote them exceptionally. But don't take my patience as a disguised indulgence.

From the very beginning, Zhao Yong did not plan to treat the Zhao clan as well, in his opinion, those who oppose the change of the law are not bad people, but completely an instinctive reaction after the damage of vested interests. It's just that some of these people have done a lot of reforms and innovations for the sake of this country, but now it is their turn, and they have become vested interests, and they have begun to oppose changes to themselves.

It is Zhao Yong's request to the Zhao clan that is, don't toss and be obedient. But some people in the Zhao clan completely regarded this sympathy as a reason for indulgence, and they were even more unscrupulous. When they changed from conservatives to thugs, they naturally became the targets of Zhao Yong's cleanup.

Zhao Yong believes that it is not a problem to have different ideas and ideas, but the key is whether the purpose is for the benefit of the country.

Zhao Xian knelt there, listening to Zhao Yong's speech, and the sense of anxiety in his heart became stronger, but the aura he had developed made him still look at Zhao Yong with a smile: "What the king said is reasonable, and Lao Suo thinks so." ”。

When Zhao Xian walked out of the main hall, looking at the sun so brilliant, the cold sweat on his body only went down for the most part. It's not just a prestige, it's more of a deterrent. He believed that in Zhao Yong's heart, as he thought, this was a showdown and a warning: from now on, there will be no more words.

In the next two days, with the gradual assembly of the army, the army of the Northern Expedition was completed.

In this Northern Expedition, Zhao Yong gathered 15,000 cavalry troops, 10,000 chariot troops, and the rest of the infantry troops such as bows and arrows, about 5,000 people. Mobilize 30,000 people and raise 60,000 stone of grain and grass. Later, a part of it will be gradually escorted to the newly built Ningwu Pass for the logistics of the troops.

Zhao Yong finally decided to use Niu Qian's plan, and a part of the main army left Ningwu north to kill the tiger's mouth, crossed the winding road, and appeared near the Dahei River Valley. Expel or sweep away the Hu who had re-entrenched, and within three months, build a city to complete the army's next march intentions.

Another group, about 6,000 cavalry, was to cross the Yellow River from Ningwu to the west and clear up the Linhu tribe entrenched there.

In the frontal troops, Zhao Yong chose Niu Jian and Zhao Yuan to follow him. Their aim was to clear the Hu people as much as possible and drive them to the area south of the Great River.

On the side troops, Zhao Yong chose Li Zhuo and Xu Yuan. Li Zhuo is no stranger, Xu Yuan is a young general who has been promoted and reused by Niu Jian many times, and he has also learned a lot of things from Niu Jian for many years, and although he is serious, he still can't stop that handsome appearance, which is coveted by others.

As an important general, Li Yan was stationed at Ningwu Pass, and he also controlled the future and life of the two troops.

This time, Zhao Yong also dragged Zhao Guo's chariot soldiers out again, not that he respected the chariot soldiers, but because he wanted to try it, when the Zhao army faced the Sanhu cavalry, how to arrange the troops, whether the chariots had room for improvement or should be completely abandoned, chasing the Central Plains, relying on the cavalry, it is unrealistic.

On the 18th, the White Tiger Star loomed in the northwest and attacked the main attack.

Zhao Yong looked at the dense crowd on the high platform, and the sense of pride rose leisurely. He even remembered the ceremonies that followed his own succession to the throne. He shouted to the soldiers who were already loyal to him. What is the difference between this situation and the feelings of the year?

This chapter is short because I thought it should be separated from the rest of the battle, and it was too late. If you have something to do tomorrow, go to your relatives, you may break off for a day, ask for a day off first, and if you have time, you will definitely update.
