Chapter 135: Arrangements Before Returning to Beijing

With Zhao Xu in the Great Liao Palace, he completed the transfer of the throne, but finally succumbed to his injuries. Not long after, he lay in Zhao Xiaoxi's arms and lost his voice. The Song army, which was supposed to celebrate the victory, was shrouded in sorrow.

It is said that the teacher died before he could take a chance, but now Zhao Xu is obviously victorious, but at the moment when victory is coming, he unfortunately dies young. For his death, Zhao Xiaoxi is undoubtedly sad. Because in his opinion, Zhao Xu could have lived for a few years.

Now Zhao Xu died a few years earlier than in history. There was always a sense of guilt for him. If it weren't for him, who disrupted the trend of this era, maybe Zhao Xu would not have suffered this catastrophe.

But the deceased is gone, and no matter how grief-stricken it is, it will not help. Holding the slowly cold corpse of Zhao Xu, Zhao Xiaoxi finally ordered: "Order Wuwei to deliver an ice coffin to this king as quickly as possible, and this king will personally send the emperor back to the court." ”

Zhao Da, who stayed below, soon led the troops to leave. Instructed Wu Wei to make an ice coffin as quickly as possible and send it to this great Liao Imperial City. Only in this way can we ensure that Zhao Xu's body will not decompose when he returns to Beijing.

After giving the first order, Zhao Xiaoxi said in a deep voice: "Zhang Dian listens to the order!" ”

Zhang Dian, who also felt sad, immediately got up and arched his hand: "Weichen is here!" ”

'Immediately send an order to all the troops, hang white silk, and guard filial piety for the emperor! In addition, he ordered all the armies of the cities before receiving the order of the king. No one shall be allowed to evacuate from his duties. If the Liao army attacks, the city lords will be able to counterattack on their own. There are those who dare to abandon the city, kill! ’

Zhang Dian quickly said: "Weichen commands!" ”

also quickly retreated, and Zhao Xiaoxi said again: "The commander of the cavalry makes Zhang Tingguang obey the order!" ”

Zhang Tingguang quickly walked out and said: "The end will be!" ”

From now on, the cavalry will send 5,000 elites, and the wind and fire battalion leaders Wang Zishu and Yang Jinbao will accompany the king to escort the emperor's coffin back to the court. The rest of the cavalry battalions are short of soldiers. Priority should be given to replenishing from the border armies to ensure that the combat strength is not reduced.

At the same time, all cavalry units were ordered to strictly prevent the counterattack of the Daliao cavalry. This king will immediately order all units of the Qiongzhou army to immediately launch an attack from the Bohai Sea. If the time is ripe, you will wait for the opportunity to recover the capital of Daliao. Two places in Tokyo. ’

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxi did not stop the army, but wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Zhang Tingguang was somewhat incomprehensible, but at this time, it was difficult for him to refuse Zhao Xiaoxi's order. After all, at the moment, Zhao Xiaoxi is the emperor, not the prince!

'The last general's decree! ’

After giving the order of the cavalry, Zhao Xiaoxi looked at the full hall of generals, and said: "Yang Shipeng listens to the order!" ”

Yang Shipeng, who doesn't know why, also knows it. This Zhao Xiaoxi took over the throne, and the Yang family seemed to be able to get a heavy responsibility again. At present, Yang Jinbao can return to Beijing with Zhao Xiaoxi's soul, which is itself a manifestation of favor to the Yang family.

Walked out of the team and arched his hand: "The end will be!" ”

From now on, Yang Shipeng will be promoted to the commander of Yanyun Dao, with full authority to manage the military and political affairs of Yanyun Prefecture. Before the battle was over, it was necessary to cooperate with the front army to continue to attack Liao, and at the same time strictly invade the Liao army and the Western Xia cavalry.

In case of emergency. This king has given you the right to act cheaply. At the same time, in order to strengthen the reconquest of the state commandery, the king will send another 100,000 infantry. Increased the number of city guards. During this time, there are rebels, shoot and kill! ’

Promoted to the commander of such a large recovered territory, Yang Shipeng is undoubtedly one step to the sky. For such a grace, although Yang Shipeng was mentally prepared, he also felt very excited in his heart.

With a trembling voice, he said, "Thank you for your trust." In the end, he will promise not to let the land of a city or a state fall into the hands of another country. ”

At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi looked at Qiao Feng, who was standing at the foot of the steps with a slightly solemn expression. Suddenly, he said: "Big brother, originally the younger brother wanted to continue to fight side by side with you. But in the current situation, I am afraid that the younger brother needs to return to the capital first.

I know what the eldest brother is worried about at the moment, but what the younger brother wants to say, the members of the Great Liao Imperial Family, I will not let it go. As long as the people of Liao are willing to submit to the Great Song Dynasty, the younger brother will treat them well. For this reason, the younger brother will arrange an errand for you, which is good! ”

can make an emperor who succeeds to the throne an emperor call him a big brother in front of so many civil and military ministers. Qiao Feng also felt a little flattered, even if he didn't want to be an official or a general, but he also knew that this matter could not be shirked.

Following the example of Yang Shipeng and others, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please call Xiao Feng's name." There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and ministers must not be treated as a gift for big brothers. What is the emperor's send, Xiao Feng will never give up! ”

Listening to Qiao Feng's answer, Zhao Xiaoxi somewhat understood that he had become the emperor. At this time, you can't talk to Qiao Feng about brothers. This is about the emperor's prestige, even if no one dares to say about him, it will also target Qiao Feng.

quickly said: "Okay, then from now on, this king will officially crown you as An Liaohou." In addition, you were appointed as the general of Anliao, and cooperated with General Zhang Tingguang Zhang to discuss the matter of attacking Liao. Militarily, General Zhang's opinion is the mainstay, and civilly, your opinion is the mainstay.

Zhang Tingguang, presumably you don't need to say anything more from this king, you should know that General Xiao is a descendant of Khitan. But in the eyes of this king, General Xiao is a heroic man who has a heart for the Great Song Dynasty and loves peace.

In this military matter, this king sent General Xiao to you as a partner, and his 10,000 elite cavalry were also officially incorporated into the cavalry sequence and named the Liaoxi Battalion. General Xiao will temporarily take over the position.

General Xiao is strong in martial arts, and the feasible army formation is slightly insufficient. Therefore, the matter of fighting can be decided by you, and General Xiao will fully cooperate. It's just that after capturing the city, how to settle the soldiers and civilians of the Liao State, you need to listen to General Xiao's opinion. Do you understand? ”

Knowing that with Qiao Feng's identity, he was indeed embarrassed. Whether he admits it or not, he is a descendant of the Khitan. Now turning around and helping the Great Song people to attack the Great Liao is somewhat betraying their ancestors.

It's just that Zhao Xiaoxi understands that Qiao Feng is willing to oppose Liao, hoping that the people of Liao can live a stable and peaceful life. This is also the condition that Zhao Xiaoxi promised to capture Daliao in the future, and only punish the evil and not pursue the ordinary soldiers and civilians.

Now that he has inherited the throne of the Great Song Dynasty, in this kind of matter, he can't break his trust with Qiao Feng. Even if Zhao Xiaoxi knew that whether there was Qiao Feng or not now was actually not important to him. can be trustworthy, in Zhao Xiaoxi's opinion, it should also be!

Sure enough, hearing Zhao Xiaoxi's public admission, Qiao Feng was naturally very moved. He knew very well that at such a time, it was a rare thing for Zhao Hyo-seok to make such a rational decision.

Even if it wasn't for the innocent people of Daliao, it was Zhao Xiaoxi's promise that Qiao Feng decided. If he doesn't finish the battle of attacking Da Liao in front of him, he will definitely not mention the matter of resignation.

In fact, Zhao Xiaoxi did this, but also understood that Qiao Feng attached great importance to love and righteousness. He believed that the trust he gave Qiao Feng today, Qiao Feng would give him the same reward in the future. For now, at least, his instincts weren't wrong.

After giving these orders, he looked at Zhao Da, who had returned to the main hall. Zhao Xiaoxi said with a cold face: "Zhao Da, immediately summon the heaven-level martial guards, activate the heaven-level pursuit and killing order, and order Bu Yige to inquire about Murong Fu at all costs."

Once there is a whereabouts of him, he will order the heaven-level military guards to hunt and kill. In addition, in the name of this king, summon the major martial arts sects in the Central Plains and ask them to send masters to participate in the siege and killing of Murong Fu. Those who succeed will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold.

In addition, the entire grassland tribe was summoned, and from now on, the Great Song and Jurchen tribes will not die. Anyone who dares to have dealings with the Jurchen tribe will become the target of the Great Song Dynasty. Kill Hu Ling, the price is doubled, only for the Jurchen tribe.

There is also the Wanyan Agu who escaped, and a reward of 5,000 taels of gold was offered, which was also the target of killing. If they are fortunate enough to escape this pursuit, when the king sorts out the affairs of the state, he will personally lead the army to level the Jurchen tribe. If you don't avenge this revenge, you swear not to be a man! ”

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, who was standing below, listened to Zhao Xiaoxi's murderous words. It is also clear that the new emperor does not take revenge seriously, but knows better that the current matter is more important.

Being able to deal with business calmly, and then issuing such a nirvana order, these ministers of civil and military affairs also felt. The new emperor in front of him already has the emperor's decisive heart, and it seems that Zhao Xu made the most correct decision to make him the emperor.

With the issuance of many orders from Zhao Xiaoxi, the good news of the recovery of Nanjing Mansion, and the news that Zhao Xu was attacked by Murong Fu and died in the army. It also quickly spread to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, causing an uproar in the world for a while.

It's just that when I heard this kind of news, the countries that were about to move were a little overwhelmed. It stands to reason that the Great Song Dynasty won, and the object of their fall is Da Liao. But Emperor Song died, and the Great Song Dynasty was afraid that it would not end well.

In this way, the Western Xia cavalry assembled on the Song-Liao border stagnated. I don't know, who exactly should be chosen to send troops. Faced with this situation, the Western Xia monarch finally decided to wait and see.

Another reason why they did not dare to send troops easily was that they learned that Zhao Xiaoxi, who had been exiled to Qiongzhou, had actually returned. Even the victory of the Song army was largely due to his timely appearance.

Facing this great Song prince who was once in the northwest, beat them enough, and took away their Yinchuan princess. The monarchs and ministers of Western Xia were actually afraid, not to mention, the battle between Song and Liao had not stopped at the moment, and the war was still continuing.

For the sudden appearance of An Liaohou, all countries have heard of it to some extent. This Central Plains martial arts hero who was originally born in Khitan turned out to be Zhao Xiaoxi's righteous Jinlan brother, and was even promoted from Bai Ding to An Liaohou at once.

The signs of all kinds of things made the kings of all the states seem to realize that Zhao Xiaoxi is only afraid that he is the new emperor who is most likely to ascend the throne. It's just that he's the son of a prince, can he really take the advantage? Will the princes and nobles in the capital agree?

If those princes and nobles do not agree, Zhao Xiaoxi, who is now in military power, is afraid that a coup d'Γ©tat will be launched. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty is afraid that it will also be turbulent. Guessing this, the countries of Fanbang calmed down a little and waited for the subsequent changes.

But they didn't know that from the beginning to the end, Zhao Xu wanted Zhao Xiaoxi to take over the throne. Now the soldier Ma Zhuang, and Zhao Xiaoxi, who is supported by the vast majority of civil and military ministers, is a matter of time before he becomes emperor. I didn't make it public in advance, just to lure some clowns out! (To be continued......)
