Chapter 686: The Prelude to the Northern Expedition to Destroy Jin
At the court meeting three days later, Ye Yu decided to cross the Jiangbei expedition to the Jin Kingdom on the grounds that the Great Song Dynasty demanded that the thirty-six states should not be replied to, and he was bound to level the entire Jiangbei in one fell swoop!
Because of the interpretation with Jiang Fu, Yue Lin and others in advance, the opposition above the court meeting can almost be ignored.
So Ye Yu successively issued two holy decrees inside and outside the palace to make arrangements before the royal expedition.
The first holy decree was to issue an order to Wu Ting, the governor of the pacification capital of Western Xia, Yu Hangkun, the commander of the Jiangfang capital, and Gu Xifeng, the chief of the marching army in Goryeo, and ordered the mobilization of troops and horses to prepare for the tripartite siege of the Jin Kingdom!
The second holy decree is to make arrangements for the officials of the DPRK and China to supervise the country, because Ye Yu is the new emperor to ascend the throne, and the crown prince has not yet had time to be canonized, so Ye Yu decided to let the Jin King Chai Shuxia and the Taiwei Jiang Fu cooperate with the rear of the commander-in-chief!
The issuance of these two holy decrees has almost all the internal and external personnel transfers, and Li Dayin and She Dongcheng, who stayed by his side, Ye Yu also made reasonable arrangements.
She Dongcheng, who was promoted to the commander of the capital, commanded the forbidden army of the three yas in the capital to defend the imperial city, and the arrangement for Li Dayin was to be promoted to the southwest pacification envoy, with full authority to control the military and political power of the southwest road, and military sanctions should be imposed on Dali in the southwest border!
After the matter was arranged, Ye Yu left Li Dayin in the palace!
In the Chengtian Pavilion, Ye Yu and Li Dayin sat around the table, laughing and talking about the things in the glass.
"Brother Li is thousands of miles away from the southwest, but the foolish brother is quite happy when he looks at his face, it seems that the foolish brother's decision today is not wrong......"
Li Dayin smiled and did not hide it at all: "Your Majesty asked Lao Li not to cross the northern expedition with the holy car, but to transfer the land of Sichuan and Shu in the southwest, does Your Majesty want Lao Li to take Dali for you?" ”
"Take Dali, do you have that much ability?"
"Uh...... Your Majesty is not right in what you said, since you think Lao Li is not competent, then why send Lao Li to the southwest? ”
Li Dayin said and lowered his head and smiled, then touched Ye Yu with his elbow, and said in a mysterious whisper: "As long as you give the 30,000 battle cloud iron horses to Lao Li, Lao Li will give you a military order, and you can wipe out the entire Dali within a year!" ”
"Get out! You think beautifully! Ye Yu glanced at Li Dayin angrily, "For the sake of a girl, don't you care about your brother's life or death?" This time, I am the royal brother who personally conquered the Jin Kingdom, and the 30,000 iron horsemen were given to you, who will protect my safety? ”
“…… That's the same thing...... The situation on this battlefield is changing rapidly, and with this army by your side, even if Lao Li does not lead the army to the Northern Expedition with you, his heart is very stable...... As for women......"
Li Dayin blinked twice, and then poked his teeth and said to himself solemnly: "If a woman is gone, there will be something else, but if the brother is gone, it will be gone forever, so a woman is not worth mentioning in front of her brother1"
Ye Yu, who was on the side, silently listened to Li Dayin's muttering, and then personally poured a glass of wine for Li Dayin, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, letting you go to the southwest to serve as a pacification envoy is not just for you to carry out military oppression of Dali......"
"Ahem, I'll just say, Your Majesty, you have always acted with multiple layers of intentions, how can this time be an exception! Tell me, what do you need Lao Li to do? ”
"Actually, it's nothing, when you go to the southwest of Sichuan and Shu, you not only have to slap the border army, but also completely divide and annex the Wu army for me, does Brother Li understand what the foolish brother means?"
"But Lao Li, I ...... alone"
"It's okay to do this, I have already sent someone to infiltrate the land of Sichuan and Shu in the southwest, but there is one less person to enjoy it. For the southwestern states, I grant you the right to arbitrary, but if anyone disrespects your orders, you can cut it first and then play, how about it? ”
Boom!
Li Dayin was completely shocked by Ye Yu's words, it was already a rare thing for this military general to directly take charge of the military power in the Great Song Dynasty, and now Ye Yu gave him the right to arbitrarily decide in the southwest, wouldn't it mean that the states of Sichuan and Shu in the southwest were all up to him Li Dayin?
"陛xià...... This...... Aren't you lying to me? The wine glass that Li Dayin raised was stagnant in his hand, and his eyes were staring straight at Ye Yu.
If other people said these words and deeds, they would have already been dragged down to ask for the guilt, but Ye Yu was born in the end of the mill, and he looked down on these rules very lightly, not to mention that the two were friends of life and death.
So Ye Yu didn't care, but raised the wine glass and deliberately touched the wine glass in Li Dayin's hand: "Not only that, if you can do this, you can really destroy the Dali Duan clan in the southwest border before the foolish brother's Northern Expedition back to the court, then you are the king of Zhennan in my Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"Really!?"
"You have no jokes!"
"Your Majesty, Lao Li will take over this file for your brother, as for what kind of thing the king of Zhennan is not uncommon, just ask for ......"
"Just want beauty, beauty, and motherhood, not the king of Zhennan?"
"Uh...... Hahaha, yes, yes, your majesty, you really saw through Lao Li's careful thoughts! Just seek beauty, beauty, and motherhood, not the king of Zhennan! ”
The two brothers talked and laughed in the Chengtian Pavilion until sunset, and Li Dayin did not leave the palace until sunset.
When Ye Yu was the only one left in the pavilion, Ye Yu stood up and called softly: "Wu Yue! ”
"The old slave is here!"
"After my royal conquest, you must be cautious about everything in this palace, and you must keep an eye on those few people for me, and your every move must be recorded in the book at all times, and someone will be sent to me, understand?"
"Yes, the old slave obeys!"
"Well, step down......"
……
Finally, the date for the dispatch of troops came, and the entire government and the opposition began to be lively.
Since ancient times, the use of soldiers has been extremely cautious, so every time the imperial court regularly sends troops, there will be a very grand oath ceremony, similar to the folk oath meeting.
Of course, this kind of regular use of troops was extremely rare for the Song Dynasty, because it had always been bullied by others to the top of the head, and the imperial court would be forced to use troops in a hurry.
And such a hasty and passive use of troops can basically omit or ignore such rituals!
However, now it is very different, this time it is not only the Song Dynasty court that took the initiative to use troops to crusade, but also the new emperor's personal expedition, such an unprecedented grand occasion, naturally swept away the haze of the Great Song Dynasty's century-old national fortunes.
Moreover, before Ye Yu became the emperor, he laid an immortal legend in the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty with all kinds of miracles and brilliant battles, so this time the new emperor drove the expedition in person, and the people of the states in the south of the Yangtze River were jubilant and enthusiastic.
A kind of blind belief made them judge the end of the fall of the Jin Kingdom early in their hearts, because it was the immortal legend in their hearts who led the army to the battle!
At the solemn oath-taking meeting, the two military songs created by Ye Yu were deafening in the ears, demonstrating the unrivaled strength of the current Song army.
With singing all the way, Ye Yu led the original 30,000 light horsemen to leave the capital, and arrived at Jiankang Mansion after a few days.
