Chapter 57: The Emperor's Persistence

readx; Zou Tong saw the army he was very familiar with again, and it didn't seem to have changed much except for a little tattered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There are a few more big holes torn by crossbow arrows on the battle flag, the dark red cloaks on the soldiers also look a little faded, the armor has lost its original luster, and it is covered with traces of knives and axes, and some soldiers only have one eye left, covered with a black blindfold, which looks extremely hideous, and the most strange thing for him is that the person who is missing an arm also straddles the horse, laughing loudly with his companions, and does not see the slightest melancholy.

As soon as they came, they didn't have to speak at all, and the Japanese army gave up the seat closest to the emperor, and some of the generals wanted to speak, but they were glared at by the angry Xiaolin and obediently closed their mouths and ran to the periphery of the team.

Zhao Zhen was amazed, curiously looking at every soldier who approached him, he could naturally see that the closest to him were generally generals carrying various small flags, Xiaolin sat on the horse and arched his hand towards the emperor, and walked slowly with the emperor with a horse lance.

"Xiaolin! I haven't seen you appear in the palace for all these years, and I thought you had retired to the mountains and forests, but I didn't expect you to join the army, if you like military affairs, tell Hanlin and Chen Lin, won't I arrange it for you? ā€

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the reason why Wechen entered the army is because Wechen is not used to being constrained in the army, and Weichen who is not an official doesn't care, as long as he can contribute to my Great Song Dynasty, Wechen is very happy, don't hide it from Your Majesty, Wechen's position in the Jingxi Army is also temporary, and after returning to Tokyo, Wechen is still an idle man."

Zhao Zhen smiled: "You have the style of the ancients." Joining the army during the war, returning to the field after the war, it looks high-spirited, but I don't know how to understand your master's hardships, over the years, the old man's hands have become less and less, I knew that you have no conscience like this, I don't agree with your safe withdrawal from the children's army. Except for me, the foolish emperor, have you ever heard of a dynasty where the generation of spies once retreated, and forgot that they shouldn't have lived a good life! ā€

Xiaolin saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and he knew that he was joking. He hurriedly replied, "It is because of His Majesty's kindness." Weichen and others will serve Your Majesty with all their hearts, you see Weichen, although he has withdrawn from the Children's Army, he is still fighting for His Majesty! ā€

Zhao Zhen looked at Xiaolin's bearded old face and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work." The Great Song wanted to be strong. It's always inseparable from conquest. These soldiers seem to be fierce, but in my heart, they are the kindest group of people, the most grateful people. Xiaolin, you also know that as long as you live up to my soldiers, I will definitely not fail them. ā€

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

Xiaolin thanked the emperor loudly for his kindness, and then the generals and colonels around him also shouted, and the rest of the soldiers didn't know what benefits they had gained.

Bao Zheng sat in the carriage and glanced at the elite soldiers around him, and his smile finally rose, these days he has been worried about the safety of the emperor when he met the alliance, and now there is such a group of people, he really has nothing to worry about, he slowed down his mood, and the sleepiness caused by the hurry quickly annihilated him, and at the moment he fell asleep, he was still thinking that it was really safe to rest here......

Zhao Zhen didn't have the slightest sleepiness, insisted on getting off the rack, ordered someone to bring his own royal horse, with the help of Zou Tong, put on his own golden chain mail, put on a red cloak, and prepared to march with the army, but his royal horse was not very competitive, the gelding was obviously not welcomed in the war horse herd, neighing and retreating again and again did not dare to enter the war horse herd, and the arrogant war horse group did not accept the steer, no matter how the knight controlled the several war horses close to the royal horse, they also held their feet, and opened their mouths as if they wanted to drive the steer away.

Xiaolin hurriedly jumped off his war horse, helped Zhao Zhen to get on his war horse, personally took the reins of the war horse and stepped on another war horse, glanced at the embarrassed Zou Tong and smiled, even if it was an explanation to the emperor.

Zhao Zhen rode on the back of the horse and smiled, leaning back and back, pointing at Zou Tong and said: "The army is the place with the heaviest yang energy in the world, and it is really not good to have a eunuch, I heard that the war horses in the Jingxi army have not been castrated, and it is also the right thing for the gelding to be disliked by the horses." ā€

Even after being ridiculed by the emperor, Zou Tong still loyally put on his armor, obediently guarded the emperor's back, and constantly asked the emperor to slow down.

The Jingxi Army soon gained control of the whole army, and began to advance according to the standard rolling under the order of Zhao Zhen, the front army and the rear army continued to change, only the Chinese army did not move, and walked less than fifty miles, and the Japanese army was left far behind, and the military formation was messy, and the eight thousand elite cavalry sent by Di Qing walked in a decent manner, and the army formation was not chaotic at all.

Every five miles, a muffled trumpet sounded, informing the troops leading the way that it was time to change formation.

Zhao Zhen didn't seem to feel tired on his horse, and he didn't care about the dust raised by the cavalry group, this march was a rare experience for him, looking at the scouts on the high ground on both sides, and then looking at the majestic army under his command, thinking that his father's ancestors were marching back then.

The founding of the country is arduous and requires infinite courage, but defending the country and continuing the rule is a test of the wisdom of an emperor, and the most loyal subordinates are now no longer ambitious to be consumed by the rich life.

I heard that there is a kind of eagle that, when it grows to old age, must grind off its already heavy claw shell on the rock, must pluck out its own feathers, must knock out its beak that has aged to the like bones on the rock, and then squat quietly in its nest without eating or drinking, waiting for new claws to grow, waiting for new feathers to change from fluff to feathers, waiting for its beak to become hard again.

Only at this time can you take off the heavy shell of the old days, fly high again in the early morning, and become the overlord of this sky again!

When Zhao Zhen thought of this, he saw an eagle flying straight down towards him, he was very happy to think that this was another celestial induction, but found that the eagle finally stopped on Xiaolin's shoulder, which made him a little disappointed, but he immediately became happy again, because Han Qi took the civil and military officials to greet him at the mouth of the three crows in front, and his think tank appeared again, and Zhao Zhen was full of confidence in his alliance with the Liao Emperor.

"This is one of the six Hai Dongqing mentioned in the fold?" Zhao Zhen saw that Xiaolin was feeding Hai Dongqing dried meat, and also saw him take off the bamboo pipe from Hai Dongqing's leg, so he asked curiously.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, these six Haidongqing have made great contributions in this battle of Yanmen Pass, and they can monitor a hundred miles of land when they fly in the sky.

Our Great Song Dynasty's troops at Yanmen Pass are insufficient, and we must concentrate our forces to form superior forces at a certain point, and then break through the enemy forces individually; if there is no Hai Dongqing in the sky to monitor the enemy's situation, it will be difficult for us to find the flaws of the enemy army and achieve a fatal blow. ā€

Zhao Zhen saw that Hai Dongqing's eyes were not good, so he didn't reach out to find him uncomfortable, and said with emotion: "If it comes to changing opportunities, Yun Qing should be the first person in the world." Hai Dongqing, who everyone regards as a plaything, will stand out in the hands of Yun Qing, and has such an important role, it is ridiculous that Yelu Hongji plays Hai Dongqing every year, but he limits Hai Dongqing's role to the ridiculous thing of obtaining pearls from the swan's mouth, and he is really not wronged in failure. ā€

The army continued to move forward, the dust fell all over the clothes, Zhao Zhen stopped Zou Tong's move to help him wipe his armor, took a sip of water, gritted his teeth and insisted on rushing to the camp of Sanyakou.

Xiaolin saw the blood stains on the emperor's saddle and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, we have traveled seventy miles, this is already a cavalry day's march, it is very rare for Your Majesty to hold on to this moment, there are still thirty miles left, Weichen thinks that it is better for Your Majesty to go to the fight." ā€

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and there are still thirty miles, I can just insist on it, and since I have put on the ancestral armor today, I can't let him be ashamed." Xiaolin, talk about the battlefield and give me a long spirit. ā€

Xiaolin led the emperor's mount to keep it as steady as possible, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you remember my famous fat genius Su Shi in the Great Song Dynasty?" ā€

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Why don't you remember, that guy's eyes are sneaky every time he enters the palace, peeking around at the beauties in the palace, Chen Lin seems to have warned him several times, but he is also really smart, not only has unique insights on the governance of the Yellow River, especially the good poems he does, especially the poem "Butterfly Loves Flowers, Spring Scene", although it is not in harmony with my mind, it cannot be said that his kung fu in choosing words and sentences is profound.

The flowers fade and the red green apricots are small. When the swallows fly, the green water surrounds. The willows on the branches blow very little. There is no grass at the end of the world.

Swing inside the wall, outside the wall. Pedestrians outside the wall, beautiful people laugh inside the wall. The laughter faded into silence. Amorous but ruthlessly annoyed.

A sentence where there is no grass at the end of the world, as well as the pedestrians outside the wall, and the beauty in the wall laughs, which fully shows that his thief heart is not dead, a good talent does not worry about the country, but goes to learn what Liu Yong writes about the wind and snow, when it comes to liking, I like Yun Qing's "but the king of the world" even more.

Xiao Lin laughed and said, "I don't know how to teach poetry, but do you know how Yunhou trains his students?" ā€

Zhao Zhen saw Xiaolin's eyes staring at the horse, and couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that this fat man is allowed to ride a horse?" ā€

Xiaolin stroked his palms and laughed: "Exactly, you must ride on the horse for four hours a day, every day when you get off the horse, Su Shi will cry, Yunhou told him that he is not allowed to dismount before he has trained his iron butt, and said that he has no combat power, and second, he has no strategy, if he can't even learn the ability to escape, he should be beaten to death with a stick." ā€

"Hahaha......" (To be continued......
