Early the next morning, Zhao Weiji, who had just finished the cave house the night before, thought that he would be able to live a shameless life with the county lord from now on. But he didn't expect to be pulled up by his newlywed wife as soon as the sky was bright.

"Let me sleep a little longer, I was too strong last night, tired." Zhao Weiji, who didn't want to get up, said with a dead face.

As soon as he heard this, Chai Yu immediately blushed, although he had almost completed the cave room. But she was still very thin-skinned as a bride, how could she hear Zhao Weiji's words.

But in the end, she still dragged Zhao Weiji up, because in fact, the wedding was not over yet. There are still three steps that have not been taken.

Zhao Weiji, who was dragged out of the warm quilt, was sitting in front of the mirror with sleepy eyes at this moment, and his wife was helping him comb his hair very virtuously.

At this time, Chai Yu had already finished dressing up, and her hairstyle had changed from a little girl's draped hair to a woman's head.

After Zhao Weiji finished grooming, the couple set off to the Wei Palace, because today they still have two tasks to complete, that is, to take Chai Yu to see their in-laws and worship their ancestors.

On the way to King Wei's mansion, Zhao Weiji also asked Chai Yu: "What are you going to do when you go back?" ”

"Forget about Zheng Guogong's mansion, just go back to my mother's previous house and it's over. And I'm going to buy another house near our house and move my mother to live there, what do you think? ”

"I'm okay, you can buy whatever you want. Actually, it's good to move my mother-in-law to the vicinity of our house. I don't know what new appointments the government will give me, but it's possible that I will still go to the army. You can take care of your mother-in-law if you move to our neighborhood. ”

Since the military generals of the Song Dynasty could not bring their daughters to the station, Zhao Weiji did not have any objection when Chai Yu proposed to move her mother to the vicinity of his house.

While they were still talking, they had already arrived at the Wei Palace. After offering tea to Zhao Weiji's mother, Wang, Zhao Weizheng led the two to the ancestral hall dedicated to Zhao Dezhao. After paying homage to Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Weiji was pulled to the study by his eldest brother Zhao Weizheng.

"Second brother, although I don't know why you have changed so much after you woke up from a coma, it seems that it is still developing in a good direction on the whole. The eldest brother knows that you are doing well in the army, and it is estimated that you will still be sent to serve in the army after getting married this time, but I don't know where it will be. ”

"Brother Xie cares, and I also know that the official family may send me to the army. It's just that out of nowhere, does the eldest brother have any ideas? ”

"I think it's possible that it's still the north, after all, you've fought with the Khitan many times, but I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to go to the north at this time. Since you have made so many things to strengthen the army, I guess the official family already has the intention of going on another northern expedition. After all, the civil and administrative officials in the team have done a good job, and what he is thinking about now is how to wash away the shame of the Battle of the Sorghum River. ”

Hearing Zhao Weizheng's analysis like this, Zhao Weiji was shocked in his heart, there was really no mediocrity in this royal family. Although Zhao Weizheng is basically unknown in the history books, from the analysis at this moment, it seems that he is also a smart person. Zhao Weizheng is right, according to the history that Zhao Weiji knows, Zhao Guangyi's second Northern Expedition will come soon. In the first month of the third year of Yongxi, it is now August of the second year of Yongxi, that is to say, less than half a year.

At this time, if Zhao Weiji is sent to the north, then it is certain that he will participate in this war.

Just when the two Zhao Weiji brothers were discussing the possible war in the study, a girl's voice came from outside the study: "Big brother, second brother, mother told you to go to dinner." ”

This girl is the youngest sister of the Zhao family, Zhao Yan, who is only seven years old. At this time, the Zhao brothers were also shocked to realize that it was already noon.

Zhao's mother Wang saw that the two brothers had entered the study until noon, and they had not yet appeared, so they took the initiative to leave Zhao Weiji and his wife to dine together.

This meal was also the first time that Zhao Weiji had such a large family-scale meal since he traveled to the Song Dynasty. The younger brothers and sisters at the dinner table who have not yet left the house are all there, as well as the eldest brother and wife who have now inherited the title of King Wei and their mother Zhang. Occupying this body for so long, Zhao Weiji has a sense of integration into this identity in a real sense for the first time. In later generations, his parents died at an early age, and he has not had this sense of family happiness for a long time.

Zhao Weiji, who was married after the completion of Chengren's life, finally felt that he had truly entered the society of the Song Dynasty while sitting at the dining table at this time. He's not the lonely otaku anymore.

A day later, Zhao Weiji took Chai Yu back to the original mansion and met Chai Yu's mother. Then he also told the Lin family about the couple's thoughts, and after obtaining the Lin family's consent, Chai Yu was ready to start looking for a suitable mansion.

……

After living a leisurely and unashamed life in the capital for ten days, Zhao Weiji finally received a new appointment.

The edict said:

Zhao Weiji, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, was the commander of the Ma army, sentenced the affairs of Zhenzhou, and knew the military of Zhenzhou. Went to Zhenzhou to take over the defense and was stationed on standby. Thou shalt only defend thy duty, and thou shalt not attack without an edict. Chin this. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

In this way, Zhao Weiji brought a new appointment and went to Zhenzhou on the northern border of Song and Liao. This time, Zhao Guangyi did not rectify him, but gave him a real position, and he will become the number one in Zhending Mansion this time.

It took about ten days from Bianliang to reach Zhenzhou. It's already a little cold in Hebei in September. But Zhao Weiji's heart is really hot, because he can finally make a career without any constraints.

When he arrived in Zhenzhou, Zhao Weiji still shouted that he was fooled, although Zhao Guangyi did not yin him in places like positions this time, but Zhenzhou did have some pitfalls.

This town was changed to Zhending Mansion in the eighth year of Qingli in the future, and this Zhending Mansion is the hometown of Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms, that is, Zhengding County, Shishi, Hebei Province. The west pillow is too hanging, but the southeast and north are all large plains. No danger is certain. And not far to the north is the junction of Song and Liao.

"The enemy will not die if I die." Seeing this legendary Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong's hometown, Zhao Weiji couldn't help but sigh. "Your sister, still don't let me fight casually? I'm fucking defending the city enough, who wants to fight? Besides, it's all infantry, who am I chasing when I go out? ”

This is not Zhao Guangyi's rectification of Zhao Weiji, it is really because the geographical location of Zhenzhou is important, but there is no danger to defend. In addition, the relationship with the Northwest Party Xiang clan was tense during this time, and there was a shortage of horses, so Zhao Guangyi sent Zhao Weiji to this place, thinking that this guy had a lot of ideas, and he could do something.

Moreover, in order to facilitate Zhao Weiji, Zhao Guangyi gave him all the military and political power in Zhenzhou when he took office. His military titles of judging the affairs of the town and the military title of the right to know the town state are the two supreme officials of the military and the government.

Although I don't know if the butterfly effect will lead to changes in the upcoming Yongxi Northern Expedition because of myself, Zhao Weiji still took the first month of the third year of Yongxi as the time node.

If it is really Yongxi's three-year Northern Expedition, then there is not much time left for Zhao Weiji. If he wanted to have any impact on the outcome of the Northern Expedition, Zhao Weiji could only find a way to transform the existing troops militarily at this time. Then he may not have time to devote himself to civil affairs.

Considering this situation, Zhao Weiji decided to ask Zhao Guangyi to find someone to help him. And Zhao Weiji's target is Kou Zhun.

Zhao Weiji's dismissal was approved by Zhao Guangyi very smoothly.

……

"Because of the meritorious promotion of cotton by Kou Zhun of Cheng'an Zhi County, he is hereby promoted to the governor of Zhenzhou. Go to work now, and I will do it. ”

In this way, Kou Zhun was transferred to Zhenzhou by Zhao Guangyi with the title of second-in-command of Zhenzhou civil affairs.

……

"I didn't expect us to be able to cooperate again in this situation, it's really happy, Kou Zhi County, it's not Kou Zhi Prefecture."

"Thank you for your appreciation." Kou Zhun naturally knew that Zhao Weiji asked him to come over by name.

"I won't hide it here, the reason why I was transferred here is entirely possible that the official family will carry out the Northern Expedition again. So I don't have much time to spare, and I'm definitely going to focus most of my energy on the military in a short period of time. This aspect of people's livelihood is fully entrusted to Ping Zhong. ”

During this time, Zhao Guangyi began to talk about the changes in the Daizhou Army, and the whole army was basically known to everyone in the officialdom. Large quantities of cotton uniforms and new crossbow machines are being produced. The military has also begun to hoard food. Basically, many people in the officialdom saw that Zhao Guangyi had a new war trend, and as for the opponent, it could only be Liao.

However, although the emergence of new things has improved the Song army, there are still people in the DPRK and China who are not very in favor of the Northern Expedition. It's just that since Zhao Guangyi has not proposed the Northern Expedition, it is not easy for this group of people to openly stand up and oppose it.

Kou Zhun, who already had a plan in his heart, saw Zhao Weiji's solemn entrustment at this time, and he probably could also sense that this Northern Expedition was really likely to be implemented, so he said: "Zhun will definitely live up to the county prince's entrustment." ”

In this way, Zhao Weiji and Kou Zhun began their activities in Zhenzhou.

Kou Zhun quickly entered the role, and he didn't cover the later generation of famous faces. After quickly becoming familiar with the government affairs of the town, he began to govern the town.

And Zhao Weiji's side is in trouble, he only has less than five months, how to strengthen the combat effectiveness of this army in a short period of time is the top priority.

It's just that he doesn't have any solution for the time being. Even the crossbow has been figured out, the bed crossbow has been made, the god arm crossbow has been figured out, and the soccer ball has been made. What do you Zhao Guangyi still think of me, you want to improve your combat effectiveness in such a short time? No matter how much infantry improves its combat effectiveness, it still can't beat the cavalry. Unless there is a Maxim machine gun. You and I are God.

Speaking of infantry against cavalry, Zhao Weiji suddenly thought of one person, and that was Yue Fei. Later, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei fought against the cavalry of the Jin army, which was also an infantry-based army. But Yue Fei was able to defeat the Jin army, and it is said that Yue Fei used a formation called the Star Array.

And Zhao Weiji also thought of it, although he couldn't cause Makqin, but the black powder was fine.

So he was counting on the Star Scattering Array and Black Powder to start.
