76. First arrival at the frontier

Defeated again and again, a lot of information came to Zhao Yongqian, looking at this information, Zhao Yongqian no longer knew what to say, every time the army was defeated, it meant that many soldiers died, and more, innocent people were affected because of this.

Looking at Wu Zong's sad face, Li Yuan didn't know what to say, suddenly, he remembered a person, maybe this person could help the Great Song Dynasty to repel it, but he wasn't sure if he could handle such a difficult task, I saw Li Yuan quietly walked to Wu Zong's side, and after thinking about it for a while, he slowly spoke: "Shengshang, the old minister knows that you are very troubled, if you continue like this, it will only make more innocent people sacrifice, the old minister has a plan, but because the old minister is a eunuch, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

At this moment, Zhao Yongqian is already poor in donkey skills, Li Yuan has been with him for decades, of course he knows that Li Yuan is loyal to him, since there is a method, it doesn't matter whether he is a eunuch or not, "Say, I forgive you for your innocence, as long as you can help the Great Song Dynasty get out of danger, even ordinary people and I will not ignore it!" ”

Li Yuan cleared his throat and said a little unconfidently: "Qiqi Shengshang, as far as the old minister knows, Zhao Xuan is a descendant of Guigu, and the art of war at home is just used to solve cases, its real use is actually on the battlefield, I think, Zhao Xuan is already smart, maybe he will have a way!" ”

Zhao Yongqian nodded, indeed, Zhao Xuan is indeed a suitable candidate, he is very smart, if this kind of thing is a trick, it may be completed, after thinking for a while, "Okay, according to your ideas, I will issue a secret decree, remember to personally pass it to Zhao Xuan's hands, although there is no doubt that this battle will be won by my Great Song Dynasty and his Western Xia, but I want to see if this Zhao Xuan has a way to save me from the harm of the people!" ”

Indeed, there is indeed no suspense in this battle with Western Xia, don't forget, Song Wuzong just sent the general Zhenguo and four generals, the dignified Song Dynasty, how could he not defeat the little Western Xia, and Song Wuzong just arranged some of the weakest people in the army, and the real brave and good fighter Wuzong has not yet been sent, so this is not a loss at all, since there is no suspense, it is better to let Zhao Xuan practice his hands.

The reason why Zhao Yongqian was sad before was because he was afraid that those innocent people would be implicated again, he was a eunuch, even if he had been by Zhao Yongqian's side for decades, but he couldn't guess what the saint really thought, if he could guess, then he was too much of a failure to be the emperor.

Indeed, Zhao Yongqian is merciful, but that is just the blood flowing in the bones of the previous emperor, he spent the first half of his life to change the mercy in his heart, but he spent the entire second half of his life interpreting a fact, rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me, this spirit, since ancient times, there are a few people, but Zhao Yongqian was born at the wrong time, if he lives in a peaceful period of time, with his wisdom, he must be a good emperor praised by everyone, but life is like this, it backfires.

After Li Yuan listened to the words of the saint, he also knew that he had misunderstood the meaning of the saint, but in this way, it was not bad to cultivate Zhao Xuan in advance......

Looking at the secret decree in front of him, Zhao Xuan did have a headache, he was not yet as old as the weak crown, like this, it was really embarrassing for him, a young age just knew how to use some power and strategy, Zhao Xuan was really helpless, he knew that he was a chess piece now, and it seemed that it would be a very important chess piece in the future, but in his cognition, how could there be such a cultivator who chased ducks on the shelves, and it was in such a situation, looking at the secret decree in front of him, Zhao Xuan grabbed his hair, He's going crazy.

Looking at Zhao Xuan's appearance, Lao Wang, who was sitting on the side, was a little curious, took the secret decree in Zhao Xuan's hand and looked at it, after reading it, he was already dumbfounded, and the master also came over to join in the fun, after reading it, they were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the Holy Lord would arrange such a task for Zhao Xuan, and looked at Zhao Xuan with some doubts.

Zhao Xuan really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Alas, this is the saint cultivating me again, although I know that the saint still has a backhand, but this kind of appearance, the price is too great, I really can't cry and laugh!" ”

After listening to this, the two were even more dumbfounded, looking at each other, not knowing what to say, originally wanted to comfort Zhao Xuan, but they didn't know how to comfort them.

Zhao Xuan shook his head, of course he knew what these two people meant, but in order to prevent more people from being displaced by the war, Zhao Xuan stood up and said, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, hurry up and call the rest of the people to me!" ”

After listening to this, Lao Wang and the master called all the people to the back office, and after telling everyone everything, one of the catchers at the bottom said angrily: "Little Xixia still wants to offend the majesty of my Celestial Empire, my lord, take a lowly position, I will go to let them often be my Tianhai big sword!" ”

After Zhao Xuan heard what this person said, he motioned for everyone to be quiet first.

Everyone was very obedient to Zhao Xuan, so as soon as Zhao Xuan signaled, everyone immediately quieted down.

Zhao Xuan looked around the people below: "I know everyone's mood very well, but this time I can't take all the people away, I will only take a small number of people, and if I bring too much, I will only startle the snake, and we don't care about this Juye Mansion?" ”

After listening to this, everyone also felt quite reasonable and nodded one after another.

Seeing that everyone understood Zhao Xuan very well, Zhao Xuan was also very pleased, and nodded, "Everyone listen to my arrangement, I will only take Lao Wang, Ma Feng, Qian Hu, Xu Song, and Zhou Yin this time, and the rest of them will obey the master's arrangement, and everyone will stay in the mansion to continue to practice and handle cases!" ”

Everyone nodded, indeed, if they go like this, there will be no one to manage the government office, and they are not good at martial arts now, and they are also slaughtered on the battlefield, so it is better to practice well and go again next time there is a chance.

Seeing everyone like this, Zhao Xuan also nodded with great satisfaction.

And Cheng Liang, who was standing on the side, was a little reluctant, "What about me?" ”

Looking at Cheng Liang, Zhao Xuan was also quite helpless, he was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help him, let him follow him and others to fight, this is very bad, maybe he will die for many reasons, but if he is left in the palace, it is too condescending, Zhao Xuan is also in a dilemma, so he had to ask: "After all, you are the prince's person, and I am not qualified to transfer you, so let's make your own decisions!" ”

Cheng Liang nodded, and the words he answered made Zhao Xuan a little surprised, "Although I am the group of people arranged by the prince to cultivate your subordinates, I can't leave until they have grown up, but I still have a command to protect your safety, so I will go wherever you go!" ”

Zhao Xuan didn't expect the prince to have such an arrangement, but this is better, at least his own safety will be more guaranteed, compared with the original fifty percent chance of his own reservation, there is a thirty percent more chance, which makes Zhao Xuan even happier.

After arranging everything, Zhao Xuan decided to set off, he couldn't delay any longer, the more he delayed, the more innocent people would be poisoned, this was not what Zhao Xuan was willing to see......

A group of six people, walking fast horses, Zhao Xuan couldn't ride a fast horse, so he was led by Ma Feng, and along the way, everyone quickly rode and whipped, and it took less than ten days to reach the border.

I saw a grassland over there, and some places were already barren, compared to the desert, it was much more than the desert, although the weather in the interior had gradually cooled, but this was a plateau, and the people who were shining in the sun couldn't open their eyes a little, and it took a while to get used to it.

The crowd crossed the frontier and passed through the city to the camp of the Great Song army.

The soldiers guarding outside the tent blocked the road and said, "Who are you, dare to trespass into the barracks!" ”

Ma Feng, who was standing on the side, snorted coldly: "Tell you, we were sent by the emperor to help fight the war, if you know each other, hurry up and go in and report!" ”

The soldier industry is not to be outdone, and it is not his style to be belittled by others like this without giving them some color, "Hmph, who knows if you are a spy of Western Xia, leave quickly, and if you don't leave, you will be dealt with by military law!" ”

Zhao Xuan was already impatient standing there, snorted coldly, and took out the holy secret decree, "Don't go and report to your marshal yet!" ”

After receiving the secret decree of the saint, the soldier commander was a little hesitant, the marshal had not said that the saint would send people down, but looking at the posture of these people and this secret decree, it didn't seem to be fake, and the soldier commander didn't know whether he should report it or not.

At this moment, a thousand-household-level commander walked over and looked at this soldier commander and a few people outside the battalion, "What's going on?" How could an outsider arrive outside the camp, do you want to be dealt with by military law? ”

Seeing that a person with a higher official status came over, Zhao Xuan motioned to everyone not to have a conflict, and then saw the soldier commander running in front of Qianhu, and muttered in a low voice: "Commander, these people claim to be sent by the Holy Lord to support us, and their posture and the pattern and material of this secret decree do not look like fake, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

The Qianhu looked at Zhao Xuan and the others in front of him, and he could see that these people in front of him, except for the person who led the leader, had no martial arts, and the rest of the people were not even below him, but for the sake of insurance, he decided to ask the marshal, "We don't dare to check the secret decree issued by the Holy Lord, but we have not notified that there will be people sent by the imperial court, so I need to take the secret decree of the Holy Lord to confirm it for the marshal, so please wait outside the camp for a while!" ”

Zhao Xuan nodded, "Of course, I'll just wait here, you go and come back quickly!" ”

The thousand households nodded, and ran towards the marshal's tent, leaving the soldier commander still there embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

In fact, the Qianhu was very relieved that Zhao Xuan and these people, there were only six of them, and the one who led them didn't know martial arts, so they couldn't make any waves here, so they didn't arrange soldiers to guard them at all

The Qianhu trotted all the way to the tent, only to see that there were many generals in the tent discussing how to resist the foreign enemy and recover the lost territory, and the Qianhu ran in and interrupted their conversation, "Marshal Qiyu, there is something important to tell you!" ”

At this moment, the marshal of the country was interrupted by this thousand households, how could he be in any mood to listen to him, "Hmph! Who let you in! Someone! Pull him out of the account for Ben Shuai, fifty canes! ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to punish himself with a rod, and looked at the two soldiers who came in from outside the door, this Qianhu was really frightened, and hurriedly said: "Marshal, there are ministers sent by the Holy Lord to help outside the camp, this is the secret decree of the Holy One!" While speaking, he did not forget to wave the secret decree in his hand.

As soon as Sun Shan heard that there was someone sent by the Holy Lord, he hurriedly motioned for the two soldiers to go out, and said to the generals: "This matter has happened suddenly today, I think we should discuss it tomorrow, and the generals will go back first!" The generals below also knew that they shouldn't ask more questions, so they all resigned.

Sun Shan took the secret decree sent by the thousand households and looked at it carefully, only to see that this secret decree was packed in a special cylinder, half of which was black lacquer, half of which was red lacquer, and there was an embedded golden dragon on it, and no one would dare to imitate the jade seal plated on it.

There are too many things written in the letter to explain them one by one, but what is basically said is to appoint Zhao Xuan as a military advisor, everything is subject to his arrangement, he plays as a deputy, and also reassures Sun Shan that the elite army has not yet come out, if Zhao Xuan can't complete it, he will send a strong force to support it in time.

After reading this letter, Sun Shan gasped, this is such a big stroke, just to cultivate a talent who may change the Great Song Dynasty in the future, so many people's lives have been ruined, even people like him who are used to seeing life and death are a little frightened, this kind of "Rather teach me to bear the world, stop teaching the world to bear me" The feeling is really not something that ordinary emperors can have.

Sun Shan and Bai Hong can be regarded as capable ministers of one article and one martial arts under the hands of the saint, although they are not as good as the prime minister and the hussar general, but they are the people who obey Wuzong's orders the most, the first war defeat is not Sun Shan's idea at all, it was Song Wuzong who arranged him to do this, according to Song Wuzong's idea, the first one is to grind soldiers! polish these worst ragtag armies into a powerful army, and judging by the effect of this time, although it is not elite, it is comparable to an ordinary army; The second is to weaken the forces of the kings, since the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the two princes, they are the first to fight every battle, and then these armies are swept away, because the news channel is blocked, so the two princes can't see Song Wuzong's thoughts at all.

In Zhao Yongqian's eyes, although Zhao Xuan does not know martial arts, but since ancient times, there are many people who do not know martial arts and can fight, and he wants to cultivate Zhao Xuan to become a talent who can govern the country and be able to fight in martial arts, and this is what Zhao Yongqian is willing to see
