Chapter 356: The Son of Heaven Treats the Army
The next day, above the court, Zhao Qian informed Liu Wei of the decision to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, and asked the Son of Heaven to give an order.
After Liu Wei finished listening, his brows furrowed very high, and he pondered for a moment and asked: "If the general leads the troops to go on the expedition, and Yuan Shao takes advantage of the emptiness of Jinyang to attack, what is good?" ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister has listened properly, then Yuan Shao will not come to attack with soldiers." Zhao Qian said confidently.
However, Liu Wei was timid by nature, and said reluctantly: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, the general is gone, who will protect me?" ”
Zhao Qian glanced at Liu Wei a little speechlessly, and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, after I leave, I will leave Zilong to guard Jinyang, and other defenses will be completed one by one, Yuan Shao will not come to change, if he really commits Tianque, he will regret it!" ”
Liu Wei was still a little uneasy, and said, "Please think twice about the general." ”
"Your Majesty, now that Yuan Shu is in Huaiyang, supporting the puppet emperor and fighting against Jinyang, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, it will be a disaster for my Han, please think twice!" Zhao Qian insisted.
Liu Wei looked at the ministers in the court helplessly and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Zhao Qian was happy in his heart, this Liu Wei still didn't want to let him leave, and wanted to win the support of other ministers.
However, this Tianzi didn't know that those ministers had already been "persuaded" by Zhao Qian, and I am afraid that no one would be on Liu Xie's side at this time.
Besides, there are still some people who wish Zhao Qian would leave Jinyang, and with Zhao Qian here, their lives are really not easy.
"Your Majesty, what the general said is very true, the so-called days are different, there are no two masters in the country, Yuan Shu is appointed as a puppet emperor, and Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others are seconded, and they must not be tolerated." Situ Xunyu said.
Liu Wei frowned, and looked at Yang Biao again.
Yang Biao also arched his hand and said: "Now that the two emperors are standing side by side, the princes of the world are waiting and watching, and there are many people who are not subservient, so they should crusade against them." ”
After listening to the words of the two important ministers, Liu Wei sighed lightly and said, "In that case, I will be a general." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Qian hurriedly said, "The minister will definitely sweep away Yuan Shu for His Majesty, so as to hear and hear the world!" ”
Liu Wei didn't seem to care about this, but asked: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the general is going to leave in Jinyang?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Jinyang has Zilong and Zihu stationed, 10,000 people are enough!" Zhao Qian said.
"Isn't it a little little?" Liu argued.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, with Zilong here, you will be able to protect Your Majesty." Zhao Qian said very reassuringly.
Liu Wei knew that he couldn't change Zhao Qian's thoughts, so he could only nod and say, "Since that's the case, the general will arrange it himself." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then Zhao Qian walked to the middle of the court and said: "During the period when the general left the court, I also asked Situ Xunyu, Taiwei Yang Biao, and Sikong Huang Wan to handle all matters together and assist Your Majesty. Especially Taiwei Yang, who also has to shoulder the position of Jinyang Order, I don't want to see any turmoil in Jinyang after leaving the dynasty. ”
"Obey the General's orders!" Several ministers hurriedly gave the order.
Zhao Qian nodded and said: "The matter of grain and grass will be handed over to Xun Situ to deal with, and the farmer Zhonglang will temporarily belong to Situ Mansion." ”
"Yes!" Xun Yu said.
"Pass on my general's order, three days later, the army will march out and conquer Yuan Shu! This time it will be destroyed! Zhao Qian said loudly.
"I wish the general a victory!" The ministers drank each other.
Three days later, Zhao Qian led the troops Chen outside the south gate of Jinyang City, accompanied by Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, and Tai Shici, and two strategists Guo Jia and Xun Yu accompanied the army staff.
Zhao Yun also went out of the city to see him off, and Zhao Qian came to Zhao Yun's side and said, "Zilong, Zihu, Jinyang will please." ”
"Big brother rest assured, Yun and brother will do their best to defend Jinyang." Zhao Yun said.
Zhao Qian nodded and said: "Only Zilong is in Jinyang, I can rest assured, if this time is successful, Zilong should be remembered!" ”
Indeed, as Zhao Qian said, he himself led the heavy army out on the expedition, and Jinyang must leave a confidant to guard.
Unlike Cao Cao, the Cao family and the Xiahou family are both relatives, and they have many talents, so they can take turns to stay behind.
And Zhao Qian only has Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, two sworn brothers, and those who stay behind can only be selected from these two.
History has proved that Zhang Fei, as a guard, is very unreliable, so the responsibility of guarding the rear can only be completed by Zhao Yun.
Moreover, Zhao Yun has a cautious personality and does not stop carrying out Zhao Qian's orders, which reassures Zhao Qian.
What pleased Zhao Qian the most was that although Zhao Yun had extraordinary martial arts, he had never had the heart to compete for fame and fortune, which also made Zhao Qian very ashamed.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
A shout sounded, and Zhao Qian knew that this was the Son of Heaven Liu Wei who came to the south gate to reward the army, so he hurriedly dismounted with the generals to greet him.
"Minister Zhao Qianrong can't pay full salutes in his body, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" Zhao Qian led the generals to Liu Wei and said with his fists clenched.
Liu Wei stretched out his hand and signaled: "The general works hard for state affairs, there is no need to be polite, I came here today to boost the morale of all the soldiers." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Qiandao.
Then, Zhao Qian turned around, faced the soldiers who had been assembled and lined up neatly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is here to reward the army, and you haven't thanked Your Majesty?" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tens of thousands of troops shouted peace together, and the sound soared into the sky, shocking Liu Wei's face a little pale, and he was cold on Luanjia for a while, and he didn't answer.
After a long while, Zhao Qian reminded: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, the soldiers are fast, the ministers are about to set off, Your Majesty will also go back to the palace to rest and take care of the dragon's body." ”
Liu Wei's ears were still buzzing at this time, and after listening to Zhao Qian's words, he nodded in a daze, and said, "Get up and go back to the palace!" ”
Looking at the mighty group of people, hugging Liu Wei back to the palace, Zhao Qian couldn't help but shake his head, this son of heaven is really not like a son of heaven.
Regardless of Liu Wei for the time being, Zhao Qian came back to his senses, looked at the soldiers of the army, and said loudly: "This campaign, there is no other purpose, that is, to exterminate Yuan Shu and return the world to Qingming, do you have confidence?" ”
"Yes!"
A crisp, procrastinating, and confident answer resounded throughout the world, and even the people in Jinyang City heard it clearly.
Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Okay, all the troops listen to the order and go!" ”
Under an order, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, and Tai Shici led the officers and soldiers at all levels in the army to rectify the appearance of the army and began to move south from Jinyang.
Out of the detachment led by Zhao Qian personally from Jinyang, Ma Chao led an army of 10,000 from Wuguan, and Gao Shun led an army of 20,000 from Luoyang.
The rest of the Hanoi Zhang Xiu, Shangdang Xu Huang and other garrison teams did not participate, after all, Yuan Shao was eyeing Jizhou, and Zhao Qian could not really take all the forces away.
The three-way army totaled 100,000, falsely claiming to be 150,000, heading to the same destination - Yingchuan!
Zhao Qian's idea is very simple, that is, step by step, eat away at Yuan Shu's power, and finally strike a fatal blow!
