Chapter 274: I see
Zhao Yong has followed the emperor for many years, and has led the army alone to open up the base, from dignitaries to peddlers and pawns of all kinds of people have seen a lot, of course, he naturally learned to observe words and colors, which is not good at it, but he can also see that he has a high eye and a low eye.
When he showed that he had no fame and was a martial artist, although Jin Fushi tried his best to hide it, Zhao Yong still saw a trace of disdain in the old man's eyes, because Goryeo was a vassal country of the Great Song Dynasty, even if he only sent a minor official of five or six grades, it was an angel, not something that could be offended casually, but he spoke arrogantly, as if he was a few points higher than himself, the envoy of the Celestial Empire.
"Could it be that he dislikes me for having no fame, and he feels that I have no ink in my belly, and I have no real talent to learn!" Zhao Yong was a little confused, thinking in his heart as he spoke. If you want to say that a learned person is like a carp crossing the river, that is, the old people in the mansion, Yang Shi, Chen Guoting, and Zhou Xingji, which is not a generation of Confucians, but he talks to them very casually, and he never looks down on himself, let alone Jin Fushi, who has learned that he has no fame and is much more contemptuous.
"The marshal has not obtained fame, he must have followed some great Confucian or everyone who has learned the art of war!" In Jin Fushi's mind, there must be a famous teacher to guide him to become a general, he asked a little unwillingly, but he was thinking about what the emperor meant by sending a warrior to lead the overall situation, did he look down on us Goryeo.
"Hehe, where did Ben Shuai get any famous teacher guidance, but since he was a child, he learned a little bit of the ability to lead troops to fight, thanks to the emperor's ability to lead troops into battle and be a pawn!" Zhao Yong couldn't figure out the old man's intentions for a while, so he said honestly.
"Oh. The marshal once followed the emperor to fight in the north and south, and the last general heard that His Majesty was the god of war in the world. Strategizing to win thousands of miles away, it's really ......"
"Shut up. As soon as you hang up the armor, how dare you talk about Your Majesty, the angel has not been ready for a long time since the banquet was here, and you can't go down to urge it! Before the man finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Jin Fushi, but he didn't dare to refute, so he left his seat resignedly.
"Don't blame the marshal, the reckless men in the army don't understand the rules, please bear with me!" Jin Fushi bowed to Zhao Yong.
"It's okay!" Zhao Yong waved his hand. The person who interjected just now must be a military general wearing a military uniform, and he can sit under Jin Fushi, and his status in the army is definitely not low, but he was driven and scolded by him like a servant, and he listened to the meaning of scolding Huai, so he felt extremely uncomfortable. Think that you and he had only met once when they entered the city, and that they had not crossed paths earlier, and that they had not been rude, let alone offended him. Why is this so?
"The old news that His Majesty is a martial artist, but he has no chance to meet, and the marshal has followed His Majesty to receive teachings every day. What a blessing! Jin Fushi said, but there was a label on his face, "That vulture has also been fighting on the battlefield since childhood." first followed his father A Guda, and then followed his brother Han. Brave and strategic, not a good person! ”
"Huh. Lord Jin may not know that my handsome man followed my emperor to conquer Xia when he was still in the year of the weak crown, captured Li Jifeng, defeated Brother Cha, and attacked Lingzhou, and the handsome were all forwards; Later, he was ordered to lead the army alone to Khitan Xijing to occupy Dezhou and other places, and won consecutive victories over the Jurchen general Wanyan Pujianu, and beat him to fright, and fled when he saw the banner of the 'Kryu Army'; and then defeated the Jurchen Zhiyin Bo Ji Yan Xianye, and trapped him in the camp; Ah Gu fought to conquer Xijing, and the marshal led the troops to defeat the Jurchens, Wan Yan Xiyin was seriously injured, Wan Yan Chang was awarded the head, Ah Gu almost died, and defeated Zong Han to capture Xijing, and his reputation shocked the northwest. Jin Fushi's words angered Zhai Cheng, the commander of the Haizhou Navy, and said with a few laughs.
"Commander Zhai, this is all the emperor's strategy, how can it be counted on me, let Lord Jin laugh!" Zhao Yong knew that it was his brother who opened his eyes for him, but he still 'reprimanded' with a straight face.
"Oh, the big marshal has already made great achievements, forgive the old man for being lonely and unheard, it's really disrespectful!" Jin Fushi originally thought that Zhao Yong had only been promoted to the throne because he had followed the emperor for many years, and he had no real skills, and most of the people who came to Goryeo were also here to gild, but now he suddenly heard that he was not a straw bag, and he had been famous for many years, and said in surprise.
"These are just a few small battles for my family's commander, have you ever heard of the Northern Expedition a few years ago?" Zhao Yong didn't speak, and Zhai Cheng took over the conversation again.
"It's not just that I heard about it, it's like thunder, Your Majesty personally conquered and broke the gold, expelled the Jurchens from the Central Plains, and defeated the vultures!" Of course, Jin Fushi knew about this, and it was because of this matter that he advocated to Song to be a minister, so as to avoid conflict with Song, and to achieve this matter with all his might.
"In this battle, the marshal of my family is the marshal of the North Road, the main general of the recovery of Yanjing City, he fought and fled, captured Yan Xiyin, beheaded Yan Zongfu, made a special contribution, was named the prince of the country, promoted to the deputy envoy of the privy council, and was deeply valued by the emperor, and sent him to lead an army of 100,000 troops on land and water to aid Goryeo, the lord thought that the vultures could be rampant for a long time!" Zhai Cheng sneered.
"It turns out that the marshal is in charge of the imperial court, the old man is really clumsy and rude, and he also invites the marshal to take a seat, and the lower official will personally arrange a banquet for you to wash the dust!" Jin Fushi couldn't sit still anymore when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and saluted again, he knew very well that in the eyes of Song, their lord was just a vassal king, and the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty was one of the two mansions, don't look at himself as the ruling party of Goryeo, compared with the identity of his deputy envoy, he had already committed a big taboo by sitting on an equal footing with him, and he was suspected of Yu Yue, even if he destroyed them on this ground, there was nowhere to reason, how could he not be afraid.
"Your Excellency is polite, why be polite!" Zhao Yong said politely, but Jin Fushi didn't dare to take it again, so he hurriedly ordered someone to rearrange it in the lobby, and asked people to quickly clean up the palace, and let the 'envoy' move over to live.
After tossing for a long time, Zhao Yong also humbly gave up a few times or sat down, Jin Fushi accompanied him, prepared a first-class banquet, arranged singing and dancing, and raised the reception specifications to the level of the head of state. Zhao Yong didn't come here to eat, drink, listen to songs and dance, and because of the influence of the emperor, these people are not very interested in this, and the concept of hierarchy is not very important. But the enthusiasm is difficult to resist, and I can barely bear it, but I still don't understand why the contrast between the front and back is so big!
Zhao Yong's intention to visit Jin Fushi was to coordinate the command of the two armies and discuss the current war, and Zhao Yong took the opportunity to propose it during the banquet. Jin Fushi didn't dare to take it big this time, of course, Zhao Yong was the main one, and he was the deputy, and he commanded and dispatched the two armies in a unified manner. At present, Xijing is besieged and internal and external information is cut off, the first thing to do is to break the blockade of the Jin army, communicate with Kaijing, and solve the problem of logistics support. It is impossible for a navy to be stationed in Xijing, they have other tasks, and they don't treat people in the season, and no one can tell when God will turn his face again.
What he said is exactly what Jin Fushi is worried about, there are tens of thousands of horses in the city, eating, drinking, and sleeping have become a big problem, and it is impossible to break the blockade of the Jin army by relying on Goryeo's own strength, and the situation in the city is divided and it also needs the 'king' to issue a unified decree, so that he can integrate the internal unity and the outside, but these prerequisites need to be fought and the blockade of the Jin army can be solved, so an agreement was quickly reached.
Zhao Yong knew that Lu Dao was fighting in a foreign land, and it was also very important to have a good relationship with the 'Earth Head Snake', and many places still needed their help, and they could not ignore their role because of their strength. At the same time, a porridge shed was opened in the city to help the victims, and the camp medical team was opened to consult and administer medicine to the soldiers and civilians in the city, so as to prevent the occurrence of epidemics, stabilize the morale of the army and the people, and also demonstrate the prestige of the benevolent and righteous division of the Great Song Dynasty......
"Zhai Cheng, Jin Fushi's attitude towards us is so contrasting?" After the banquet, Zhao Yong returned to Goryeo to prepare a new official residence for him, which was the emperor's palace but very narrow and simple, not as gorgeous as the emperor's palace in Xiangyi, but this was already the best building in the city. We are used to sleeping in the open on foreign wars, and we don't care about this, but the other side's attitude must be clarified, and this is related to the repositioning of the relations between the two countries after the war.
"Alas, in fact, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to our Great Song, but he had an opinion on taking the martial arts as the commander!" Zhai Cheng sighed and said that he had been walking in Goryeo for many years, and one of their tasks back then was to collect geographical and cultural information from various places, so he still knew a thing or two about the national situation.
"Oh, are they the same here as we were a few years ago?" Zhao Yong asked curiously.
"It's more than that!" Zhai Cheng said with a wry smile, "Goryeo was deeply influenced by my Great Song Dynasty, and also adopted the strategy of emphasizing literature over martial arts, which led to the serious phenomenon of Wenzun and martial inferiority, and the commanders who led the troops were all civil ministers, so Jin Fushi repeatedly interrogated your origin, and when he knew that we were all martial artists, of course his attitude was contemptuous, thinking that we were just martial artists who couldn't be the master!" ”
"I see, no wonder he reprimanded his generals as servants!" Zhao Yong nodded abruptly.
"That's right, the early years were better, since the 'Li Zi Apology Rebellion' and the 'Miaoqing Rebellion' occurred in this dynasty, the current lord simply abandoned the Wu Zhai in the Guozi Prison, and the military ministers were alienated and even discriminated against, and their status was even lower, relatively speaking, the Wenchen were favored." Zhai Cheng said.
"Well, it's really similar to the situation of our Great Song Dynasty before the emperor ascended the throne, fortunately, we still have a 'protégé of the Son of Heaven' hat to wear, otherwise we would be even more despised by them!" Zhao Yong touched his head and smiled.
"Hehe, it's really useful. However, if the emperor knew that Goryeo was so heavy on literature and light on martial arts, would he also let them learn from our Great Song Dynasty and make changes? Zhai Cheng asked with a smile.
"What do you say?" Zhao Yong sent the question back with a sly smile, and the two looked at each other for a moment but laughed at Da Lang, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic...... (To be continued......)
