Chapter 641: The Whole Country Seeks War
It's been a lot of fun.
At first, Wang Ningan suspected that someone had gone out to reveal the news, but later it was found out that this group of people also captured Li Qing, Wang Ningan guessed that it might be led by Western Xia, after all, as a country, they still have this ability. As a result, I got it around, and the old case was brought out again, and I worked on it for a long time, but there was still a problem on Da Song's side.
Wang Ningan felt that the matter was too big for him to deal with, so he played it immediately!
"Lao Chen, you go on a trip, play the matter truthfully to Your Majesty, and wait for the divine will ruling."
Chen Shunzhi immediately agreed and hurried to Luoyang.
……
The news of Wang Deyong's death spread in the capital, and countless people fell into grief, even the Royal Primary School. Wang Deyong's grandchildren studied in the school, and they were all classmates of the prince.
Zhao Zongyuan looked very sad, grandpa left, they must be uncomfortable, let's go home and rest for a while...... According to the rules, children and grandchildren must also keep filial piety.
How do you know that these boys went home, and before they entered the gate, they were driven out by Wang Deyong's eldest son. He took a horsewhip and chased half the street, scolding.
"What's the use of crying, a cub who has no chance? What is the use of filial piety? If you are a man, you will avenge your grandfather! Go to school hard, increase your skills, destroy Western Xia, cut off Li Liangzuo's head, and pay tribute to your grandfather! ”
Wang Deyong's sons, nephews and grandchildren, there are dozens of people, all of whom serve in the army. Some people followed Di Qing to the northwest, and some people trained hard, ready to take revenge.
Even a few children are studying hard in the school.
The privately hidden grub cages and cricket jars were all thrown away, and he was no longer lazy in class, his little eyes were round, and he was full of energy and studied hard.
"Father, when will I be able to avenge General Wang?"
Zhao Zongyuan has asked his father for the third time, although he knows that he shouldn't talk too much, but he still can't help it.
"It's coming!"
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Your master must have a way, I believe him!" ”
"Enlighten the saint!"
Suddenly, Su Gui ran in from outside, smiling so much that the forehead lines on his face opened.
"The saint is overjoyed, rejoicing!"
Su Gui said loudly: "Wang Xianggong succeeded in the first battle, destroyed the iron harrier of Western Xia, and severely damaged the prestige of Western Xia!" ”
When Zhao Zhen heard the good news, he was stupid, and he didn't know what to say happily.
The little prince's eyes were shining, he jumped suddenly, swung his fist hard, and shouted with joy: "Master is amazing! ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Emperor, do you also know the Iron Harrier?" ”
"I know, the masters of the Martial Arts Academy have talked about it!"
Zhao Zongyuan said with a small star: "The Iron Harrier was originally Li Yuanhao's personal guard, and later became a heavily armed iron horseman, and he was the most elite man and horse in Western Xia, and their members were selected extremely strictly, all of them were party nobles, and even the emperor's clansmen...... Father, Mr. eliminated the Iron Harrier, but he avenged the old general! I, I want to go to the king's house and tell them the good news! ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, "Yes, go early and come back early." ”
The little prince didn't care about eating, and ran out as soon as he slipped away, Zhao Zhen was rare, with a smile on his face, he asked a few words carefully, Su Gui presented the good news, Zhao Zhen read it three times in a row, and was sincerely pleased.
"It's not easy, it's really not easy, Jing Ping risked his life, and this is why he won this big victory. The Iron Harrier was destroyed, and the great cause of sweeping away Western Xia finally began! ”
Zhao Zhen clenched his fists vigorously, "Go, call Wen Yanbo and the others, I want to discuss military affairs with them." ”
Zhao Zhen was a few years younger all of a sudden, his steps were brisk, his face was shining, and he was full of joy from the inside out.
I just won Qingtang last year, and now I have killed the Iron Harrier.
It looks like the time has finally come to sweep the Northwest.
Zhao Zhen looked at himself in the mirror, his temples were gray, his crow's feet were deep, and his aging could not be concealed...... For an emperor, he is already relatively old, and time is running out!
……
Led by Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi, Wang Qi, Liu Xin, Bao Zheng, Sima Guang...... All the important ministers in Beijing did not fall behind, and they all came.
Zhao Zhen did not sit on the dragon chair as usual, but stood up and said loudly to everyone: "Zhongqing, maybe you already know...... I'll tell you the good news, my Great Song has won another big battle! Wang Qing and Di Qing cooperated skillfully to attract the ace Iron Harrier of Western Xia to Quwu Mountain and annihilate them in one battle! Three thousand, not one ran! Horses, armor, weapons, all in our hands! ”
Zhao Zhen's voice was exceptionally loud, and he even lost some of the emperor's peace.
It's just that everyone present didn't care at all, an old minister like Wen Yanbo knew the word iron harrier too well!
At that time, Li Yuanhao was in turmoil, and the northwest was repeatedly defeated, with heavy casualties, countless famous generals were killed, and countless elite soldiers were killed...... The Iron Harrier is a nightmare hanging over the heads of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs!
As soon as they encountered the Iron Harrier, almost all of them had weak legs, sweating, and weak knees, and they wanted to run away immediately, and they did not have the courage to fight at all.
Looking back, it's really impressive, the Iron Harrier was actually annihilated by the Great Song Dynasty!
Attaboy!
Wen Yanbo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this great victory is not trivial and should be vigorously promoted. He said earnestly: "The Iron Harrier is the trouble of my Great Song Dynasty henchmen, and for decades, it has been rampant in the northwest, and no one can stop it. Kill my soldiers, plunder my people, be cruel and unkind, and be full of evil. Recently, he killed Wang Lao Xianggong again, which can be said to be innumerable, and now he has been completely annihilated, it is the cycle of heavenly principles, and the retribution is unpleasant, and they are to blame! ”
Wen Yanbo continued: "The old minister thought that he should immediately make an order, send it to the military and county capitals of all prefectures, and tell all the subjects and people that I am ashamed of the Great Song Dynasty and eliminate the most elite soldiers in Western Xia, which is just to boost morale and boost morale. In addition, the old minister also suggested that the strategy of dealing with the Western Xia should be studied immediately, and the loss of the Iron Harrier would be a great blow to the Western Xia, since Li Yuanhao made a rebellion, the Western Xia has been the henchman of my Great Song Dynasty, and now the good opportunity to destroy the Western Xia has appeared...... The old minister thought that he should immediately mobilize grain and grass armaments and prepare for war with all his might! ”
Wen Yanbo's words were stable and steady, both internally and externally, and Zhao Zhen nodded frequently. At this time, Sima Guang also stood up, "Your Majesty, what Xiang Gong Wen said is very appropriate, but the minister thinks that he should take the opportunity to send someone to envoy to Western Xia!" He reprimanded Li Liangzuo in person for sabotaging the peace talks and assassinating the old minister, which was despicable and shameless...... Convict the crime first, and then the court will raise troops to fight, so that you can be justified and strong, and the division will be famous! ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Sima Aiqing, you have been to Western Xia back then, how about I let you go this time?" ”
"It's your duty!"
Sima Guang had a smug smile on his face, he had already thought so!
Recalling that at the beginning, Qu Yehe was defeated first, and he went to Xixia to talk, which was to exchange green salt for peace, although it was very successful, but he also suffered a lot of whims.
Sima Guang has always been ashamed and humiliated, he hid it in his heart, and even his master Wang Ningan never said that now that he has won a big victory, he just took the opportunity to humiliate Xixia!
Sima Guang knew his master's path very well, and he was in charge of the household department, and he also knew that it was impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to immediately launch a war of annihilation against Western Xia, and it took time to prepare.
But such a good opportunity, how can you not take advantage of it.
Military pressure, diplomatic pressure, should be done together!
With strong soldiers as the backing and the power of a great victory, Sima Guang was full of spirit, and he couldn't wait to see the trembling appearance of the Western Xia monarchs!
Master, great job!
……
When the capital got the news, it was always a few days later than the front line, and when the monarchs and ministers were planning how to deal with the Western Xia, Chen Shunzhi led 3,000 soldiers to support the coffin of the old general and returned to the capital.
Along the way, the civil and military forces from all over the country, as well as the scholars and the common people, greeted the coffin of the old general, they cried and worshiped on the ground, seeing Wang Deyong's body, filled with righteous indignation!
The old general has fought all his life for the Great Song Dynasty, and he is older than many of their grandfathers!
The thieves of Western Xia, frenzied, actually ambushed the old general, which can be killed and cannot be left!
The people were full of anger and vented all their grievances on the captives.
The less than a thousand iron harriers were completely dumbfounded, and they saw for the first time that the Song people, who were originally weak, were so brutal! They attacked the captives with leaves, shoe soles, and stones, and some people pounced on them, bit them on the cheeks, tore off a piece of meat raw, and swallowed it in large gulps...... The anger in his eyes was simply chilling.
These iron harriers are all frightened, they know their crimes very well, and now that they have fallen into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, they can only die altogether, even if it is luck!
Due to the great resentment of the people, Chen Shunzhi had to leave the captives alone and rushed to the capital as quickly as possible.
When he entered Beijing, Wen Yanbo and other high-ranking officials, including Zhao Yunbi, the king of Beihai County, all came out to greet him, and all the adults carried Wang De's coffin and approached the capital step by step!
Seeing this scene, I can't help but think of when Yang Wushu returned to the Great Song Dynasty!
Yang Wuyi has waited for more than sixty years, but Wang Deyong takes it for granted, the Great Song Dynasty is indeed different...... This country began to advocate warriors and respect generals, they did not fall in love with the romantic talents outside the Donghua Gate, did not look up to those Confucian families, but sincerely respected and admired those bloody warriors who fought in the battlefield, in order to protect their families and defend the country, and for every common people, who shed blood and sacrificed.
They knelt on the ground and greeted Wang De's coffin.
The Royal Academy, the Martial Arts Academy, and even the primary school, all the teachers and students came out, including the little prince and Gouya'er, they all wore white flowers and looked solemn, witnessing Wang De's coffin walking in front of them, respectfully kowtowing to the old hero!
What a beauty, what a glory!
That's how it should be!
Many young people can't help but be enthusiastic, especially those soldiers who have already joined the army, and they are even more honored. What do you want in life?
can do Wang De's general, that is, die without regrets.
More and more people are getting excited...... We must learn from the old general, kill the enemy to serve the country, and even more avenge the old general!
Where Wang De's coffin passed, some people raised their arms and shouted, and their voices were higher and higher.
"Destroy Western Xia and capture Li Liangzuo alive!"
"Avenge the old general!"
"Offend my Great Song Tianwei, although it is far away, he will be punished!"
Almost everyone was clamoring for war against Western Xia......
