Huang Wude, as the leader of the Imperial City Division, has always been moody and angry, but now when he mentioned Zhao Yan's letter, his face turned wrinkled with joy, which made Zhao Yan stunned, and then sat up from the bed and said, "Bring the letter!" ”

Queen Xiang next to her saw Zhao Yan sit up, and the quilt she had covered for him just now also slipped down, which made her sigh helplessly, and at the same time she also blamed Zhao Yan a little, but she was gentle and didn't say anything, just stepped forward and stretched out her hand to wrap the quilt around Zhao Yan, so as not to get cold when she sweated.

Huang Wude immediately presented Zhao Yan's letter, and Zhao Yan took it and hurriedly opened it to watch. Zhao Yan did not say anything about rescuing Yang Huaiyu at the beginning, but reported to Zhao Ji about the expansion of the coastal water division since he agreed to expand the naval division last time, and the corresponding increase in the number of land forces.

Seeing Zhao Yan's letter, especially seeing Zhao Yan's guarantee in the end that only relying on the Southern Navy Division and the Army could solve Yang Huaiyu's difficulties, this made Zhao Yan feel unreal for a while, because he always felt that although Zhao Yan went to the south to develop maritime trade and earned a lot of money for the imperial court, he never paid much attention to the water division, and as for the Lu division who was attached to the water division, it was not worth mentioning in his eyes, and it could even be compared with the Xiang army.

It is also Zhao Ji's prejudice and lack of attention to the sailor in his heart, so if others say that the sailor can rescue Yang Huaiyu's army, I am afraid that he will only scold the person who wrote the letter, but now the person who wrote the letter is his younger brother Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan has always been very convinced of Zhao Yan's words, after all, Zhao Yanke has never deceived him. So after pondering for a moment, he finally looked up and said to Huang Wude: "Wude, you are the most well-informed, do you think the sailor trained by the third brother can be of great use?" ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has relied on the sailors to lay down a lot of territory overseas in recent years, although these lands are some barbaric places in the eyes of our Song people. However, these territories together are larger than the previous Western Xia, which shows the combat power of the water division, and your majesty should not forget that the military academy was also proposed by His Royal Highness King Yue! Huang Wude said with a smile.

"Military Academy!" Zhao Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, Huang Wude mentioned that there was no record of the sailor before, but as soon as he mentioned the military school, Zhao Ji immediately thought of the cadets trained by the military academy, and the cadets who graduated from the military academy over the years have spread all over the army, which has greatly increased the combat power of the Great Song army. Many shortcomings in the army have also been eliminated, which shows the importance of the military school, and Zhao Yan can create a military school single-handedly, so the sailors trained by him are definitely not ordinary troops.

"Hahahaha~, I understand!" Thinking of the above, Zhao Ji immediately burst out laughing, and at the same time felt that his whole body was light, and he couldn't care about any illness. lifted the quilt and stood up, which startled the queen. Hurriedly picked up the quilt and wanted to put it on Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji refused with a smile.

I saw Zhao Ji walking back and forth in the dormitory a few times, and finally laughed again and said: "It is said that brothers are fighting in wars, it seems that at this critical moment, their own brothers are still reliable, and the ministers in the court are arguing and arguing." The noisy I was upset and irritable, but I couldn't come up with a feasible solution, and every time I had to ask the third brother to clean up the mess for them, what a bunch of waste! ”

"The ministers in the court are incompetent, but Your Majesty, you can't get along with your own body. It's better to lie down and cover it quickly, otherwise when will Your Majesty's illness be cured? Queen Xiang was still holding the thick quilt at this time, her figure was petite, and it was a little difficult to hold the thick quilt, but now she was staring at Zhao Ji and refused to put it down.

Seeing that Queen Xiang was so stubborn, Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, and honestly went back to the bed to lie down, and then carefully covered him with a quilt to the queen, but Zhao Ji was very excited at this time and took Xiang Queen's hand and said: "Queen, fortunately I have a good brother, he can help me every time at a critical moment, but unfortunately my Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but there is no one who can relieve my worries everywhere like the third brother, queen, how do you say I should reward the third brother?" ”

"Your Majesty has a younger brother like King Yue, which is naturally a blessing for Your Majesty, but King Yue is Your Majesty's younger brother, that is, there is a family, as for what reward, it only needs Your Majesty's mind to arrive, after all, the reason why King Yue helps Your Majesty so much must only be because Your Majesty is his brother, not for Your Majesty's reward!" Empress Xiang also smiled and said, she also has a good impression of Zhao Yan, if it wasn't for Zhao Yan to persuade Zhao Yan, I'm afraid that the queen's position would be Hua Zhi's, and Queen Xiang and Ouyang Wanling beside Zhao Yan are the best sisters in the boudoir, so no matter what aspect it is, Queen Xiang will speak for Zhao Yan.

"Hahahaha~, it's still my queen who can speak, the third brother really didn't help me as a big brother to ask for a reward, but I can't be too stingy, I have already established King Pu as the heir before, I think it's better to also make the third brother's Yue King as the heir!" Zhao Ji said very happily.

Empress Xiang and Huang Wude next to them heard Zhao Yan's reward to Zhao Yan, and both of them were shocked, you must know that the title of the Great Song Dynasty is not hereditary, even if you are a prince, but when it comes to the next generation, you can only become the king of the county, and then one generation will be downgraded, maybe after a few generations, it will become the same as ordinary people, but the heir is different, the inheritance of the title is unchanged, the father is the prince, and the titles inherited by sons and grandsons are also princes, which can be passed down from generation to generation, and the entire Great Song Dynasty has been passed down since the founding of the country. Only the title of King Pu was established as the heir king, this is because the former emperor Zhao Shu is the son of King Pu, so Zhao Wei deliberately set the prince of King Pu as the heir, which is also the only heir of the Great Song Dynasty, but now it seems that there is probably one more.

Zhao Yan decided to reward Zhao Yan, but he couldn't give the reward to Zhao Yan immediately, because Yang Huaiyu was still trapped in Gubeikou, so even if he wanted to reward, he had to wait until Zhao Yan rescued Yang Huaiyu, so that he could justifiably turn Zhao Yan's prince into the heir, and no one would object, after all, Zhao Yan's merits were enough to deserve such a reward.

The next morning, Zhao Ji, who had not been to the court for a few days due to illness, suddenly bent his body to gather the ministers, and then announced the content of Zhao Yan's letter, originally Zhao Ji thought that he could hear the praise of the ministers to Zhao Yan, but he didn't expect that after a period of silence, someone actually stood up and said that the strength in Zhao Yan's hands was too strong, and the strength of the water division should be reduced, and some people even bluntly said that Zhao Yan had a heart of disobedience, otherwise how could he secretly accumulate such a strong force?

Hearing the words of these courtiers, Zhao Ji was furious, roared and drove everyone out, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood again, but after he was angry, he could only force himself to calm down, and then summoned Lu Huiqing and a few other ministers, the most fierce people just now were some stinky temper officials, he really didn't need to be angry with them, and he remembered that Lu Huiqing and others didn't open their mouths just now.

Sure enough, after Lu Huiqing and the others came, they did not pour dirty water on Zhao Yan like those counselors, but carefully analyzed the power in Zhao Yan's hands and the possibility of the sailor rescuing Yang Huaiyu, and finally they found that with the strength in Zhao Yan's hands, although they could not fight hard with the Liao army, they could rely on the warships of the sailors to be put into the key places in the rear of the Liao State, and then the Liao State had to retreat.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yan quickly wrote a letter to Zhao Yan, asking him to prepare for sending troops, and at the same time sent someone to inform Wang Shao of Xijin Mansion, asking him to obey Zhao Yan's orders and assist him in rescuing Yang Huaiyu's army.

Zhao Ji had just sent out the letter to Zhao Yan, and finally received a news that made him happier, that is, the army led by Guo Kui immediately started a big battle after coming into contact with the Manichaean rebels, and as a result, the first battle relied on victory, defeated the rebels three times in a row, killed tens of thousands of rebels, and many people who were held hostage were rescued.

However, the so-called disaster is not a single line, from the moment Zhao Ji decided to send troops to attack the Liao State, it was destined to be an eventful autumn for this year's Great Song Dynasty, just when the Manichaean rebellion was a little eyebrow-raising, Yelujun unexpectedly used the Liao army on the northwest border to launch an attack on the Western Xia hometown that the Great Song Dynasty had occupied for several years, although it was quickly repelled by the garrison of the Western Army, but it also caused the political instability of the Western Xia hometown, and the Xixia evil activities in the secret activities were stirred up everywhere, and from time to time someone would jump out to make trouble, and even some small-scale rebellions, Although it could not shake the rule of the Great Song Dynasty in the local area, it was enough to make people anxious, and an urgent report was sent to the capital quickly, and Zhao Ji was also disturbed by these urgent reports and couldn't sleep all night, and his body, which had recovered somewhat, became very bad again.

Half a month later, Zhao Yan in Guangzhou finally received a letter from Zhao Ji, which also made him act immediately, 50,000 sailors and 30,000 land divisions were all on board, and all kinds of weapons and materials were prepared, ready to be pulled out at any time. For this rescue of Yang Huaiyu, Zhao Yan had a full partiality, because he thought the same as Zhao Ji, he did not plan to use his own sailors to fight hard with Yelu Renxian's army, but was ready to use the advantage of sea ships to directly put the army near Zhongjing or Shangjing in Liao, and then Yelu Renxian would not be able to retreat.

Just when Zhao Yan was ready and was about to personally lead the army to Liao, he suddenly received a very bad news, which also made Zhao Yan sigh, thinking that this year's Great Song Dynasty is really full of disasters and difficulties! (To be continued......)
