Chapter 393: Preparing for Departure
The Liao envoy was deflated above the court, and then hid in the post station and couldn't come out.
Just after the end of the early dynasty, You Jingyan and Fan Zhongyan were left behind by Zhao Zhen.
"Your Majesty, don't be too anxious, since the Emperor of Liao can send an envoy to question us, it means that he is afraid." As soon as You Jingyan's remarks came out, Fan Zhongyan and Zhao Zhen were also a little surprised by his statement.
"You think, we don't have troops on the border, so why did they come to question the intentions of our thousand men. It stands to reason that these 1,000 people are nothing compared to the tens of thousands of troops stationed there in the Great Song Dynasty, but he was able to send an envoy to question him for this, which on the one hand shows that he is in a hurry, and on the other hand, it also shows that he has not put me in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty and Your Majesty at all, no matter which aspect, it is necessary for us to fight back. ”
"Fight back?" Zhao Zhen has been waiting for this day for a long time, so he is also a little excited when he talks about it.
Even Fan Zhongyan, who has always been calm, couldn't wait for what You Jingyan was going to express next.
It has long been said that everyone in the Great Song Dynasty who is a little bloody wants to get back from the Liao people in the wine shop, just like when You Jingyan first arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, Bai Ding, who was chatting in the wine shop, wanted Zhao Zhen to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
"Yes, counterattack, presumably Your Majesty has already seen the combat effectiveness of that army, although they are only a short one thousand, but I think they can withstand five times the number of people with the same combat strength, right?"
"Hmm..."Zhao Zhen still agrees with You Jingyan's estimation, those twenty people dare to act against enemies who are stronger than themselves in order to protect him, and they don't care about their own lives.
"Your Majesty, this is the military soul of an army, only with this spirit of the enemy will show the sword, then it can be invincible, if a swordsman encounters an opponent stronger than himself does not even have the courage to use the sword, then he must only lose."
"A swordsman who dares to show his sword may fall under the enemy's sword, but this spirit will make him glorious even if he is defeated."
Although the rhetoric is not gorgeous, it still makes the listener's blood boil.
"Do you have any plans?" Zhao Zhen asked first.
In fact, he was most anxious, and he was eager to wash away the shame imposed on his ancestors.
"Nope." You Jingyan smiled back to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen was also a little helpless about You Jingyan's answer, he understood You Jingyan's character, and he never thought of any way in the first place, thinking that the soldiers would come to cover the water.
It's impossible to say that he really didn't have a plan, but he never told the outside world about his plans.
"I had to go there first and adapt to the situation, after so long, I don't know the specific situation there, and I don't know much about the situation there." You Jingyan smiled ruffianly and added.
"Don't pretend, you kid, who doesn't know that you can still get in touch with Di Qing on weekdays." Zhao Zhen smiled and said to You Jingyan, who obviously didn't believe what he said.
In fact, this is indeed the case, You Jingyan does use carrier pigeons to communicate with Di Qing on weekdays.
"Well, if you don't want to say more, forget it, all I want is the result." Zhao Zhen has a belief in You Jingyan beyond the norm.
Throughout history, how many favored ministers can be trusted by the emperor like this, I'm afraid there are really few people.
"Then thank you for your trust." You Jingyan smiled ruffianly, there was no superfluous expression on his face, but this kind of unconditional trust in his heart was still very useful.
Who doesn't want to be trusted?
"When are you leaving?" Zhao Zhen just asked.
"Tomorrow, the sooner the better, and when they don't react, it's the right thing to do to give them a fatal blow." You Jingyan smiled ruffianly, looking very relaxed.
There is no sense of urgency at all about the imminent war.
"Okay, stay safe along the way, I'm waiting for your good news." Zhao Zhen patted You Jingyan's shoulder and said.
"Okay, Your Majesty, don't worry."
You Jingyan then said to Fan Zhongyan: "Fan Daren, your new policy must be steadily promoted, and the stability of the Great Song Dynasty is related to whether everything in Jingyan can go smoothly there." ”
"Don't worry about this, the old man will." Fan Zhongyan still replied with that serious expression.
In fact, Fan Zhongyan didn't want You Jingyan not to leave at this time, after all, sometimes many of his new policies needed You Jingyan to give advice.
Even Fan Zhongyan himself couldn't figure it out, and it stands to reason that he didn't need to think of a white-clothed man who didn't learn and didn't know how to ask for advice.
In Fan Zhongyan's heart, You Jingyan is a typical example of not learning and no water.
After You Jingyan went home, he called Li Bing to his study.
"Li Bing, I'm going to the Songliao border tomorrow, will you stay here or follow me?" After all, Meihua is still in confinement, plus there are other people's wives and sons here, if Li Bing is unwilling to follow him there to suffer, then You Jingyan will not blame him, although You Jingyan needs Li Bing very much.
But You Jingyan will not force him, brother, you can't be considered by others, and you can't force others to make it difficult.
"The subordinates follow the adults." Li Bing replied without thinking about it.
This result was expected by You Jingyan, and he knew that Li Bing would not let him down.
"Okay." You Jingyan smiled with some satisfaction in his ruffian: "Go and pack up your things, talk to Meihua, and find another girl, otherwise Meihua can't be busy by herself, and Liu Ming is not suitable for taking care of Meihua, isn't it?" ”
"Yes, thank you, sir."
You Jingyan has actually told them about this question a long time ago, but maybe it's because the family doesn't have much money left, so the girl You Jingyan said has never been found.
You Jingyan thought that Qiu Niang would be the same as Li Bing, and when he asked him this question again, he would follow him mercilessly, but what he didn't expect was...
"So that you don't have to look for the girl, I'll stay and take care of the plum blossoms."
"You?" You Jingyan was taken aback and asked.
"You're not going with me."
"No, if there is no hope, why should I torture myself." You Jingyan always feels that Qiu Niang is different these days.
"Okay, stay if you want." You Jingyan thought for a while, sighed and said in a big breath.
"It's better to stay, and you can be more stable."
Soon You Jingyan returned to his ruffian attitude, and said with a ruffian: "However, you still have to find the girl, and you are not, stay and enjoy life, don't worry too much." ”
In fact, the more You Jingyan settled Qiu Niang like this, the more Qiu Niang's heart hurt.
