Chapter 183: Recovering Yanyun (7)
"Ha, ha, ha, talent, really talent, where did Yan Zhao find such a talent, when the war is over, I must meet this person."
Accompanied by Zhao Weiji's wild laughter, the ministers looked at each other, and they really didn't understand why a piece of music that made them all a little helpless actually made Zhao Weiji laugh so wildly.
"Which of you can help me draw up a receipt, let Yan Zhao do it according to this plan, and the court will cooperate."
"But Your Majesty, isn't there something wrong with this plan?" Kou Zhun, who knew what the plan was, was the first to stand up, and he wanted to know why Zhao Weiji would agree to such a risky plan.
"Pingzhong, it's okay, this plan will definitely succeed, let Yanzhao do it."
……
Ten days later, the whole atmosphere in Datong Mansion has changed significantly, and the local Han people are no longer afraid when they look at the Song army, but have a sense of gratitude.
The reason for such a change is that in addition to Song Jun's strict following Yang Yanzhao's instructions to do nothing to any common people, that Brother Liu's policy also played a crucial role.
"Brother Liu, Yan Zhao has thrown himself into the ground for you, but I didn't expect that in just ten days, the atmosphere in the entire Datong Mansion would have such a huge change."
For Yang Yanzhao's praise, that Brother Liu was very useful, but he also knew that without the support of the Song Emperor and the modification of the details of the plan, he would not be able to make such an effect.
Seeing that the Datong Mansion had basically settled down, Yang Yanzhao had to go on the road again, and his task was to recover the entire Yanyun. Datong is just getting started. There's still a long way to go.
What he will face next is even more important than Datong Mansion. It may be difficult to capture Nanjing, the Liao State, and the previous attack on Datong Mansion has already let him know that this gun is not invincible, and he has to be careful about the road ahead.
"Big brother, this Datong Mansion has basically settled down, and the army on my side is almost on the road. When the emperor gave me a receipt, he also made a decree, that is, you will be summoned to Beijing, and maybe our brothers will have to break up. The next meeting may be in Bianjing. ”
Brother Liu also knew Zhao Weiji's will, so he didn't say more. Farewell to Yang Yanzhao and returned to his own mansion to prepare for going to Beijing.
……
After the rectification of Datong Mansion was completed, the army naturally set off again. It's just that before leaving, Yang Yanzhao still has a headache that he must solve first.
This headache is that the little princess Zhao Ling'er is still in the army, and she has no intention of going back at all. In addition, because of the last battle, she subdued Yang Zongbao in one fell swoop, and now Yang Zongbao is receiving the re-education of the little princess every day, and the original idea of driving her away is gone.
This left Yang Yanzhao without even a helper, so he could only face the little princess alone and find a way to persuade her to go back.
"Uncle is here, it seems that things in Datong City are basically over, it's time to start again." When Zhao Ling'er said this. I didn't feel the slightest intention of going home, as if it was a matter of course to continue marching with the army.
looked at Zhao Ling'er's attitude of completely treating herself as a part of the army. Yang Yanzhao's head tightened for a while, you must know that Queen Chai Yu had sent a letter in private, and the letter clearly stated that Yang Yanzhao should hurry up and drive Zhao Ling'er back, and if he couldn't do it, he would weigh it himself.
"That, Her Royal Highness Princess Ling'er, you've almost had enough, isn't it time to go back to Beijing, the queen thinks about it." Yang Yanzhao has been so low-voiced in his life, but he really has no tricks for this little princess.
Regarding Yang Yanzhao's "plea", Zhao Linger had no sign of being dealt with at all, but stretched out her hand to Yang Yanzhao: "Take it." ”
"What did you bring it?"
"Holy Decree."
"What decree?"
"Father's holy decree, what kind of official did he give me in the holy decree, I am very interested."
"The Privy Council undertakes, and the military is consulted." Hearing that Zhao Ling'er had even guessed that Zhao Weiji had given her an official, Yang Yanzhao had no choice but to honestly take out the holy decree on his body and hand it to Zhao Ling'er.
After Zhao Ling'er took the holy decree, she looked at it and threw it on the table, complaining with a dissatisfied face: "It's only the sixth grade, and my father is a little stingy." ”
"My little aunt and grandmother, Zhengliupin is not small, not to mention that you are still a woman."
Zhao Ling'er thought about it and felt right: "Forget it, anyway, the size is an official, and now I can justifiably be your military advisor." ”
It turned out that the reason why Zhao Weiji made such a strange will was entirely because of Zhao Ling'er's previous contribution in the battle to capture Datong.
This exploit finally gave Zhao Weiji a reason to let his daughter stay in the army to give advice to Yang Yanzhao, after all, the second person who knew about firearms in the entire Great Song Dynasty was Zhao Ling'er, and she could avoid some unnecessary situations in the army.
"But what about the Queen? If you don't go back, the queen will go crazy. Looking at Zhao Ling'er's smile, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but think of the letter again.
"Anla, Anla, since the father has given you the will, then the queen mother's side will definitely be fine, you better worry about how to fight the next battle."
Seeing that basically the raw rice had been cooked into cooked rice, Yang Yanzhao could only reluctantly accept the reality. And Zhao Ling'er officially entered the staff team of the army in the name of Zhao Shanhuo, of course, his identity is male.
……
On the third day after the army set out from Datong, the army, which had been marching at full speed towards Nanjing, had to temporarily suspend its march.
This time he stopped not because of the sniping of the Liao army, but because God began to help the Song army.
"When is this rain going to be?" This rain has been raining for three consecutive days, and Yang Zongbao has also been worried for three days.
Zhao Ling'er, who was deducing on the sand table on the side, looked up at Yang Zongbao's bear appearance and shook his head: "Yang Zongbao, don't be a sissy here, if you have time to see if the gunpowder is okay, if the gunpowder is all wet, we don't have to fight this battle." ”
"Where am I a sissy." As soon as he heard Zhao Ling'er's words, Yang Zongbaoteng's anger came up, and he said that my strategy can't compare to you, and I admit it, and I can't bear to say that I am a sissy.
"Look at your compassionate look, where is not the mother? As soon as it rains, my family Chunxiang will have a virtue with you. Saying that, Zhao Ling'er also made a gesture of a little daughter: "If the rain doesn't stop, the clothes can't be dried." ”
"You ......." Because Zhao Ling'er's expression was similar to Yang Zongbao's expression when he looked at the heavy rain outside the tent just now, this made Yang Zongbao a little unable to get off the stage.
But fortunately, at this time, Yang Yanzhao walked in from outside the tent, and slapped the back of the head at Yang Zongbao, who was about to get angry: "Why are you still stunned here?" Let's not go and see if the gunpowder is damp, if the gunpowder is wet, we will have to go home. ”
After the same line was repeated by his father, Yang Zongbao could no longer refute it, so he had to take the hat and coat that his father took off and put it on his body, and then left the big tent and went to the place where the other party's gunpowder was.
Seeing Yang Zongbao walking out of the big tent with a look of grievance, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but want to laugh, but because Yang Yanzhao was watching there, he had to hold back his smile, and then asked Yang Yanzhao seriously: "Uncle, when do you say this rain is going to fall?" ”
Yang Yanzhao sighed and said: "It is estimated that it will take a while, the time we chose is a little wrong, just in time for the rainy season of Yanyun, it is estimated that the rain will fall intermittently in the next month, our battle is not good." ”
Yang Yanzhao, who lived in the Northern Han Dynasty in his early years, still knows a lot about the climate change in this area, and he now regrets the delay in Datong Mansion for more than ten days, which makes the army start to rush in Yanyun when it enters the rainy season, but if it is not delayed for those ten days, the rear will be unstable.
After some trade-offs, the army can only temporarily experience the baptism of heavy rain. Fortunately, the rainfall in this area of Yanyun is not too large, and this rainy season generally does not last too long, so it is a big deal to wait a few more days.
Hearing that the heavy rain will come from time to time in the next month, this makes Zhao Ling'er have a headache, and the gunpowder in the army is most afraid of moisture.
Although Zhao Weiji came up with a lot of moisture-proof measures to ensure that gunpowder could not be damp in the process of storage and transportation, it was unavoidable during the war, that is to say, the cannon could not be used at all in rainy days, if the Liao army came at this time, in addition to using rifles, it could only use traditional cold weapons to fight the enemy.
This will make Song Jun lose a lot of advantages, which is very disadvantageous.
However, although he didn't want to start a war at this time, sometimes the battle situation on the battlefield could not be controlled by human will, and Zhao Linger had to figure out how to fight if the Liao army attacked in the rain.
"Uncle, our army has brought traditional swords, guns, swords, and halberds, right?"
"Brought it, why do you ask this?" Due to the limited amount of ammunition, the traditional cold weapons were brought out before the expedition, just in case, but because the guns have been in effect all along, those weapons have not been taken out so far.
"You're saying it's possible that the Khitans will attack us on a rainy day?" Yang Yanzhao naturally knew that the cannon in the rain was unusable at all, so he reacted quickly to why Zhao Ling'er asked like this.
Zhao Ling'er nodded: "That's right, although I don't want to fight with the Khitans on a rainy day, but I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it's better to prevent it." ”
Yang Yanzhao thought about what Zhao Ling'er said, and felt that it was reasonable, so he asked the herald to pass down the order and take out those cold weapons and distribute them to everyone.
As soon as this matter was done, a scout came back to report that they had discovered the traces of the Liao army during the reconnaissance. After listening to the scout's report, Yang Yanzhao could only sigh, he was really afraid of anything. (To be continued......)
