Chapter 64: The Next Journey

The autumn rain hit, and in the upper capital, the river was surging.

In the imperial city in the north of Shangjing, the candle flame in the imperial palace was not extinguished all night, and at this moment, a voice sounded in the north tent. I saw Yelu Jing grab the silver bowl on the Hu table and throw it at Yelu Buge's face.

"Waste, this southern expedition, my Da Liao suffered heavy losses, Xiao Siwen has taken refuge in the south, and there are generals who died tragically in the hands of Han dogs, all the brave men of my Da Liao have been captured, how can you and other defeated people lead the army back, you might as well die." Yelu Jing raised his right foot and slammed it into Yelu Buge's lower abdomen.

"Your Majesty, it's the ministers who are incompetent." Yelu Buge covered his lower abdomen, the corners of his mouth were hideous, and a trace of blood flowed out.

Yelu Jing didn't know what to do, but if he let it go on like this, it would inevitably make the territory of this Liao country more and more erosive, so when he saw Yelu Buge's embarrassed look, he began to laugh, and then got up from the Hu chair, and then walked to Yelu Buge, bent down, and made a gesture of wanting to help people.

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable!" Jeruxiu's hands trembled.

"Hurry up, now the Liao Kingdom is an eventful time, and everything has to depend on you and a few others." Yelu Jing pretended to be a benevolent gentleman, wanting to make the other party grateful to him.

Yelu Buge didn't let Yelu Jing help himself up, he immediately got up from the ground, didn't care about patting the dust on his body, so he clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this time it was the minister's mistake, so that Zhao Kuangyin and them took advantage of the loophole, and also let my Da Liao soldiers lose their soldiers and generals, if I meet the Song people again next time, the ministers will inevitably lead their troops and kill the Song people." ”

"Okay." Yelu Jing patted Yelu Buge on the shoulder, now there is no one to use among the generals under his command, just like there is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua feels like a pioneer.

"Your Majesty......" Yelu Buge immediately presented some views to Yelu Jing, causing Ye Lu Jing to frown deeply.

"Now that the Great Song Dynasty has gained a firm foothold, the most powerful enemy of my Great Liao is about to appear." Jerry turned around and said, "You should retire first." ”

"Yes." If Jerubuko was pardoned, he immediately surrendered his hand.

The dim candle flame kept flickering, elongating Yelujing's figure.

……

Half a year later, under the morning light, the entire city of Kaifeng, Tokyo, began to bustle in one day.

Since the destruction of the Han Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty and the return of the king to Beijing, the Great Song Dynasty has been jubilant from the emperor to the officials and even the people.

Today is the court meeting.

The morning light shone in from the window lattices outside the hall, and the inside of the hall began to become bright and clear, and the sunlight made this magnificent and luxurious palace resplendent with gold, as if in the fairy world.

At the beginning of the Mao period, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was in the court, and he saw His Royal Highness's military officials shouting: "My emperor has no borders." ”

"Zhongqing is flat." Emperor Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair with his legs spread apart, looking down.

Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, was also seated, and at this moment he looked back at the officials of the Hanlin Academy on the left and right, one by one, they were writing hard, covered with yellow tablecloths, jade seals, edicts and other things were placed on the tabletop, and the people and degrees of giving orders in the main hall were all available, and he felt that this place was like a giant ship.

When the Great Song Dynasty conquered the north, Zhao Dezhao has been making future plans in Kaifeng City, and now some of the cotton suitable for planting outside the city has blossomed and borne fruit, and Zhao Dezhao is waiting for this last cotton.

In addition, driven by movable type printing, the library collection of the Great Song Dynasty has also increased a lot, and the books and classics in the bookstore have also increased a lot, and these books have also promoted cultural exchanges......

In addition, Zhao Dezhao also further strengthened his power, and now the power of Changchun Hall has taken root in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty and has become an effective means for Zhao Dezhao to monitor various places.

Of course, there are many others, which make Zhao Dezhao very happy.

The whole hall is full of praises.

……

After the end of the court, Zhao Dezhao saw that it was still early, so he went to the military academy in the northeast city outside the city.

Since the imperial court returned to the capital, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin began to order the recruitment of new soldiers throughout the country to strengthen the construction of the army, and now the Great Song Dynasty is quite stable from north to south, except for the Liao State in the north, the whole country is still calm, but Zhao Kuangyin's heart still wants to restore the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so that the Great Song Dynasty far surpasses the Han and Tang Dynasties in his lifetime, and his achievements also surpass the Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Taizong and others.

It is to recruit new recruits.

As soon as Zhao Dezhao came here today, he heard the thunderous sound of orders and the metallic sound of weapons waving from the school field here.

When Zhao Dezhao got closer, he found that the scene here was completely different at this moment.

A large group of men stood in groups on the dusty mud floor, wearing four pieces of plate armor and leather armor, in the sun, the new armor glistened, they were sweating one by one, each with a weapon in their hands, and they were training.

Seeing the King of Wei coming, these soldiers were all in awe and greeted with standard military salutes.

Zhao Dezhao waved his hand and said: "You continue to train, this king is just here today to see how the new army is training?" ”

The recruits began to practice again under the guidance of the instructors.

After a stick of incense, the instructor said: "Rest for a stick of incense, recover your strength, and continue training later." ”

"Order." The recruits shouted in unison.

The instructor saw that King Wei was motionless watching the recruits' drills, so he took advantage of the recruits' rest for a while and came to Zhao Dezhao's side.

"The last general has seen the king of Wei Chitose." This instructor is a Liao person, this time the Song Emperor went out on an expedition, and surrendered to the Song army, Zhao Kuangyin saw that this person had his own set of methods for leading the troops, so he recruited this person, and this recruit training appointed him, and this person was also a general under Xiao Siwen, Zhao Kuangyin naturally did this in political and other considerations.

"Well, yes, I do have my own set of methods, no wonder my father values it so much, but this king is here today to discuss with you."

"King Wei Gaojian, please say something." This general's name is Xiao Qian, and when he saw that King Wei was so solemn, he said, "Chitose, it's inconvenient to talk here, so let's go into the military tent." ”

"Well, that's fine."

When the two of them entered the military tent, Zhao Dezhao got straight to the point and said: "Xiao Jianxiao, I don't know what you think about the north?" ”

Xiao Qian naturally knew what Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, said, so he thought for a moment and said directly: "Now that the Liao State is in civil strife, the emperor is incompetent and incompetent, and there is no way to govern the country, so that the people have been in the midst of war for a long time. ”

Zhao Dezhao saw that Xiao Qian's brows were tightly locked, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know whether to say it in his heart, so he said: "Xiao inspects the school, but it doesn't hurt to say it, and the king won't blame him if he says it wrong, there are only you and me here." ”

Xiao Qian hugged his fists and said, "Then I'll say it." ”

“…….”

"Although Your Majesty destroyed the Han Kingdom this time, the emaciated camel of the Liao State is bigger than the horse, and its foundation is quite stable for a while, so the Great Song Dynasty will not send troops to fight in a short period of time, which is why Your Majesty did not go north after destroying the Han Kingdom."

"Xiao Jianxiao is right, if you are the king, the king will not be so childish."

In the military tent, the two talked a lot.

"Now I have collected a lot of soldiers, but this person's heart is unpredictable, I don't know if those people are sincerely obedient to my Great Song?" Zhao Dezhao said in his heart, what he was worried about was those nobles in the upper echelons of the Liao Kingdom, such as Yelu Xiuge and others, as for Xiao Siwen, according to Zhao Dezhao Changchun Hall sent someone to investigate, this person really submitted to the Great Song Dynasty, and now Zhao Dezhao is waiting for the situation in Youzhou.
