Chapter 602: Go north and return to Chang'an
A few days later, the news of Zhao Ziyan's abdication reached Padbara, and this time, Zhao Shuo did not shirk but symbolically thanked him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Subsequently, Zhao Shuo announced his succession to the throne of the Great Song Dynasty.
The first thing after inheriting the throne, Zhao Shuo sent people to Bana to recruit Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun is very embarrassed now, surrender, he is already a mortal enemy with Zhao Shuo, and he is worried that Zhao Shuo will give him small shoes. Don't go down, now there's no reason not to go down.
You must know that he has declared his allegiance to the Great Song Dynasty, and now that Zhao Shuo has inherited the throne, the Great Song Dynasty to which he is loyal already belongs to Zhao Shuo.
In other words, according to what he said before, he should now be loyal to Zhao Shuo. But loyalty to Zhao Shuo is not good.
After struggling for two days, Zhang Jun ordered that Zhao Shuo forced Zhao Yan to abdicate, which was a rebellion, and he wanted to clear the monarch's side.
Zhang Jun's army was already on the run, but now that Zhang Jun is doing this, another large part of the army has chosen to flee.
After Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong returned, they gathered the army quite obediently and sent it to Padbara.
And Zhao Shuo is ready to let this assembled army crusade against Zhang Jun.
Zhao Shuo thought very well and crusaded against Zhang Jun, but before the army of the crusade set off, Zhang Jun's head was sent.
The person who sent the head was none other than his former bodyguard, Wang Lung.
I haven't seen him for many years, although he is a little rusty, Zhao Shuo still recognizes Wang Lung at a glance.
"The minister greets Your Majesty, Zhang Jun, the dog thief, betrayed Your Majesty, and the minister has beheaded him, and here is his head." Wang Lung knelt on the ground from a distance, bowed his head, and placed a cloth bag in front of him.
"Wang Lung, long time no see!" Zhao Shuo didn't pay attention to Zhang Jun's matter, but looked at Wang Long from a distance.
"The minister was bewitched by Zhang Jun back then, he was really blind, Your Majesty has a lot, and he thought that his subordinates had guarded the prince, so bypass his subordinates once." Wang Lung said bitterly.
"Wang Lung, you killed Zhang Jun, you have made great contributions, you are a meritorious person, tell me, what reward do you want?" Zhao Shuo and Ben ignored this stubble.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates don't ask for rewards, they just hope to continue to stay by the prince's side, and they can be horses back then." Wang Long said.
"That's okay, then you will continue to be your bodyguard in the future, and it can be regarded as official reinstatement!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo waved his hand and issued an order to evict customers.
Bodyguard? This is something that Wang Lung didn't expect, although he betrayed Zhao Shuo before, but this time he killed Zhang Jun, such a big credit, after arriving at it, at least he can get a general to be a general.
What Wang Lung said only wanted to stay by Zhao Shuo's side as a cow and a horse, those were all kind words, how could kind words be taken seriously?
Besides, as a judge, if he comes back from meritorious service, he will ask Zhao Shuo for an official position, isn't that similar to looking for death?
But now this situation is really embarrassing, continue to be a guard, this level is too low.
Of course, it would be good if he could follow Zhao Shuo every day as a guard, but Wang Lung knew that such an opportunity was no longer possible.
He, the guard, is charging every day, and he can't do anything else.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates know that they are wrong, you give me another chance, give me another chance......" Wang Lung kowtowed like pounding garlic and kept begging.
"Wang Lung, what you just said, I have satisfied you, I have treated you like this, are you still not satisfied?" Zhao Shuo looked at Zhang Jun and was not angry. "Think about what you've done? If I hadn't taken care of the fact that you had protected me, your life would have been gone. Don't think that you are a meritorious person when you kill Zhang Jun, you go out to see the army I have assembled, if you don't do it, I will kill Zhang Jun, and I will be able to capture it. ”
Sighing, Zhao Shuo continued. "It's all fate, you made a choice, you have to be responsible for this choice to the end, the rest of your life, think about it!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo waved his hand again, and this time, before Wang Lung could speak, the guards on both sides had already taken him off and took him off.
"Lord Wang, Zhang Jun is dead, what to do with the big city-state?" Chen Yong came over and asked.
"Wasn't it already allocated over there?" Zhao Shuo glanced at Chen Yong and laughed. "The territory belongs to Qin Hui, I will hand over the military power to you, don't let me down."
Chen Yong was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Don't rush to thanks, your mission is not to stay here." Zhao Shuo raised his hand. "You gather the Song army and the army of the big city-state in the big city-state, and quickly go to the western city-state, it's not easy for Lin Feng!"
"Yes!" Chen Yong saluted again.
Lin Feng's army had already reached the Sinai Peninsula, but because of the lack of troops on hand and the lack of ships, it was difficult to continue advancing for a while.
Zhao Shuo has been mobilizing troops from the Chang'an area to support, and now it seems that all the armies in the subcontinent will not stay long.
Chen Yong also understands Zhao Shuo doing this.
After all, Zhao Shuo's goal has always been Mongolia, and now the Mongol army has reached Europe, where it is said that it is densely populated and abundant, and if it is occupied by Mongolia, Mongolia will inevitably become more and more powerful.
Now only by competing with Mongolia in an all-round way can we curb the development trend of Mongolia.
"By the way, in a few days, I'm going to leave here, before Qin Hui comes back, you have a snack." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo patted Chen Yong on the shoulder, glanced at him encouragingly, and then returned to the backyard.
Zhao Shuo said that Chen Yong was temporarily in charge of the subcontinent. Here are now strong soldiers and horses, and the land is vast and rich. If......
Chen Yong shook his head again and again, he knew that he had an idea that he shouldn't have uh.
Now Zhao Shuo is competing with Mongolia, or in other words, only Zhao Shuo can defeat Mongolia.
He followed Zhao Shuo, and it was naturally okay to become an official in the future, but if he rebelled, with Zhao Shuo's nature, killing him was already the same as playing yes.
Another point is that these armies are loyal to Zhao Shuo, not a certain general.
Let them send them to death, they will go, but let them resist Zhao Shuo, that is, they will find death by themselves.
After some self-analysis, Chen Yong calmed himself down, and then arranged the matter of assembling the army in the big city-state.
Zhao Shuo's side, after returning to the small courtyard, immediately ordered a rest, and set off the next day to return to Chang'an.
Although the announcement was a bit urgent, returning to Chang'an was something Zhao Shuo had already said, and everyone had already prepared.
Early the next morning, Zhao Shuo led people to start the journey back to Chang'an.
Zhao Shuo chose the land route this time, starting from Padbara, passing through Bana, Zhao Shuo arrived at Gamo first.
The war here is over, and Li Yuanhao is the king here. When Zhao Shuo arrived at the border of Gamo, Li Yuanhao was already waiting here.
This somewhat surprised Zhao Shuo.
"Brother Zhao, junior brother has been waiting here for a long time." It turned out that after Li Yuanhao heard that Zhao Shuo was going north from Padbara, he immediately set off from the capital of Gamo and came to the border to wait.
This is the only way for Bana to reach Gamo, and Li Yuanhao has been waiting here for three days.
Li Yuanhao's call 'Brother Zhao' made Zhao Shuo feel a little kind, but he said jokingly. "Brother Li, I'm the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty now, you can't be called a brother!"
Li Yuanhao was stunned for a moment, but soon it came out, Zhao Shuo was really joking, he immediately laughed, and said. "My brother became the emperor, so I, who has been following my brother, should also be given a big official position!"
"You!" Zhao Shuo nodded at Li Yuanhao. "King Xiping, it's not enough for you to be so loud!"
"Brother wants a reward from the Great Song Dynasty." Li Yuanhao's face became solemn.
"Brother Li, what do you mean by this?" Seeing that Li Yuanhao's face suddenly changed. Zhao Shuo asked with a little confusion.
"I have already told Li Qianshun several times that we want to take refuge in the prince, hoping that the prince can give him food." Li Yuanhao said.
"Brother Li, I really don't have anything to think about Xixia." Zhao Shuo said. "...... you do this"
"Your Majesty, this is the trend of the times, Western Xia is independent, it is better to take refuge in the prince!" Li Yuanhao said.
"We'll talk about that later." Zhao Shuo waved his hand and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, is there something big going to happen when you go north this time?" Li Yuanhao said.
"I miss my wife, can I go back and see?" Zhao Shuo looked at Li Yuanhao.
"Yes, I miss my wife too, and I will be a companion for Your Majesty!" Li Yuanhao smiled, and then handed over all the things of Gamo to the officials of Dali, and followed Zhao Shuo alone.
"I said, isn't it good for you to be a soil emperor here?" Li Yuanhao is like this, which really puzzles Zhao Shuo.
"In the future, the world will be Your Majesty's, for me, where is not the same, it's just that now Xixia is still a little far away from Your Majesty, I will follow Your Majesty's side, I must always watch Your Majesty, and when Your Majesty agrees to Xixia's submission, I will find a place to retire." Li Yuanhao said half-jokingly.
"Whatever you want!" Zhao Shuo didn't want to be entangled with Li Yuanhao anymore, so he sighed helplessly, and then continued to go north.
After Gamo, Zhao Shuo and his party entered Dali.
At the border of Dali, it is Duan Zhengxing who is waiting to be greeted.
Facing Duan Zhengxing, Zhao Shuo was a little embarrassed. "Zhengxing, this time, I'm sorry for you Dali."
Duan Zhengxing didn't expect Zhao Shuo's apology, but Duan Zhengxing knew about Zhao Shuo's apology.
Bagan, it was Dali who took a lot of effort to take it, but after Zhao Shuo succeeded to the throne, he gave it to Han Shizhong.
This is a big loss for Dali.
"Where did Your Majesty say, Dali is submissive to Your Majesty, Bagan will naturally be submissive to Your Majesty, after submitting to Your Majesty, whether it is Dali or Bagan, it is Your Majesty's, Your Majesty can distribute it however you want, even if one day, Your Majesty thinks that my Dali Hou and my Duan family are inappropriate, you can also change someone to be it, my Duan family has no complaints, everything will be done according to the orders of the prince." Duan Zhengxing expressed his dissatisfaction to some extent, but in his dissatisfaction, he also expressed his loyalty.
"Don't overthink it!" Zhao Shuo looked at Duan Zhengxing. "At that time, I really didn't think about it much, and there was an emergency, if Zhang Jun was destroyed in this situation, it would be okay to transfer Han Shizhong to the big city-state in the subcontinent and give him a fief, but not at that time. Liu Guangshi occupies Angkor, Han Shizhong is stationed in Bagan, Liu Guangshi is named Wu Hou, Han Shizhong is really unreasonable if he expresses his position and rewards him, so I named him Ganhou. But in my heart, I have always felt that I am sorry for you Dali. Zhao Shuo said.
"Your Majesty, this is too foreign, Dali took refuge in Your Majesty, everything is Your Majesty's, Your Majesty gave it to Han Shizhong, which is not all bad for Dali. Your Majesty should know that Dali captured Bagan in order to have an outlet to the sea, and now Bagan is His Majesty's, no matter who it is distributed to, my great ideal is to go out to do some business, and I should not stop it, which is enough for us Dali. Duan Zhengxing said.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, and if we continue to talk about it, there will be no head." Zhao Shuo smiled and continued. "This time I went back to Chang'an, I want to establish a new system, and each autonomous region must send one or two representatives, you go back and think about it, and wait for the order from Chang'an, and then get up!" Zhao Shuo got down to business.
"Oh, it seems that Your Majesty has really made a big move." Duan Zhengxing saluted. "I want to go to this matter in person."
"It's better for you to go!" Zhao Shuo laughed. "After all, now Dali, you seem to be the one who calls the shots."
"Alright, alright, you all go back!" Duan Zhengxing turned around and sent away the guards who followed behind him. "Tell my father, I followed His Majesty to Chang'an."
Duan Zhengxing also chose to be alone and followed Zhao Shuo on the road.
"Are you Dali okay?" Zhao Shuo said.
"With Your Majesty here, the world is peaceful, what else can happen." Duan Zhengxing smiled and complimented.
Zhao Shuo didn't speak again, and the group continued to go north.
Shudi!
This time, it was Fang Qifo who greeted Zhao Shuo.
"The old man greets His Majesty, and I hope that His Majesty will atone for his sins!" As soon as he saw Zhao Shuo, Fang Qifo fell to his knees.
"Uncle Seven, why are you bothering!" Zhao Shuo walked a few steps closely, came to Fang Qifo, and helped him up. "There is no need to be like this between you and me, you are fine, I am happier than anything else, when I said that you were missing, I have been sending people to look for you, but your traces are erratic and have not been found, speaking of which, it is also my dereliction of duty, otherwise there would not be so many things."
Zhao Shuo stopped all the culpability, which made Fang Qifo quite moved.
Zhao Shuo looked for him, he knew, but he didn't find the will, because Fang Qifo was too good at disguise.
"Your Majesty, without your order, I developed the sect without authorization, and then attacked the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty did not have the same knowledge as me, and also made me a marquis...... how can I be old" Fang Qifo said, and he was about to salute again.
"Uncle Seven, don't think about it, you are doing very well, you actually helped me a lot!" After Zhao Shuo comforted Fang Qifo, he continued. "I'm going back to Chang'an now, do you want to go back and see Yunshang?"
Fang Qifo nodded, and his old tears were rampant.
After Shudi, the group crossed the Qinling Mountains, which lasted more than half a year, and finally returned to Chang'an!
