Zhang Yongde, Zhang Mei, Liu Yanrang and others were not ashamed to listen to his words, each eye looked at the nose, the nose looked at the heart, like a clay puppet, Zhao Guangyi felt slightly bored in his heart, the royal dragon direct command envoy Gao Qiong, deputy envoy Wang Chao is the old man of the domain, and immediately said: "If Your Majesty issues a formation map, the last general and others must be desperately complied with." The two of them have always regarded themselves as the emperor's domestic slaves, and when they saw His Majesty bowing slightly, they knew that they were quite sacred, so they retreated proudly.

At this time, under the command of Cui Han's command banner, hundreds of thousands of soldiers gradually gathered from all directions, forming a huge thick and incomparably thick phalanx, and the flags of various colors were listed in turn and in an orderly manner. Suddenly, the whole school field fell silent, even the war horse was strangled and chewed, just when everyone on the school review platform was puzzled, hundreds of thousands of soldiers suddenly shouted in unison: "Taiping rejuvenate the country, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live!" The sound shook the four fields, startling the black magpie in the woods next to the school field and flying straight into the sky.

Seeing that Cui Han knew so much, Zhao Guangyi smiled and praised: "The old generals of the Jin Dynasty, Cui Han is the most. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yongde on the side with a casual look, Zhang Mei and other generals who were already generals in the Jin Dynasty, these old generals did not show an angry look on their faces, and still respectfully served beside them, Zhao Guangyi was happy in his heart, summoned Cui Han with a smile, took out a gold belt and gave it to Cui Han, and said: "This belt is what I wore when I was the king of Jin, and I will reward it to you now." ”

Cui Han was overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground after taking the belt, shouting long live. Zhao Guangyi laughed, waved to the troops in the school parade, and returned to the forbidden palace surrounded by military generals.

Zhang Zhongyao, as an envoy of the Guiyi Army, also followed behind His Majesty the Emperor's car and waited in the side hall according to the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Whenever Zhao Guangyi summoned the envoys of foreign vassals, he always arranged a military review, with the intention of deterring the princes of the Quartet with military might. After the initial shock, Zhang Zhongyao secretly compared the forbidden army with the Hexi Guiyi army where he was located, and felt that although the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army was majestic and neat, it was very skillful and effortless, although there was a thunderbolt when everyone was united, but once it was defeated, it was difficult for people to fight for themselves. If the two armies compete, the Guiyi army does not fight hard with the Song army, but wanders between the desert and the Gobi, cutting off its water source, cutting off its grain route, and waiting for its army to collapse and retreat, and most of them can win. He didn't mean to embarrass the forbidden army, but there was no first in the world, no second in the martial arts, but whenever a lieutenant general and colonel saw other elite soldiers, he had to make a comparison in his heart. Presumably, the same is true of those former festival envoys who are around the emperor, but they are just silent, thinking about it, when Zhang Zhongyao woke up to parade the army, Zhang Mei, the former Henghai festival envoy who had a one-sided relationship, seemed to nod slightly to herself.

About an hour later, the news was sent to the Zichen Hall to summon him.

Zhang Zhongyao adjusted his official uniform, went to the hall to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, and said loudly: "Zhang Zhongyao, the envoy of the Shazhou Guiyi Army, I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live." He was handsome, both civil and military, and his voice was full of energy and clear, which immediately attracted the attention of the emperor and his ministers, and they all became interested in the envoys of the Guiyi Army in this wild land.

Zhao Guangyi saw that this envoy was talented, and said kindly: "Aiqing is flat." These words are to admit that the envoys of the Guiyi Army are like the Fuzhou Zheshi, which is a feudal town of the Han people, which is not like an ordinary state.

Since Zhang Zhongyao sent the envoy, he was repeatedly claimed by the officials of Duting Xiyi as an envoy, and he was quite ashamed and humiliated, and he couldn't help but be very excited when he heard the words, and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Lord Longen." Standing up and standing aside, according to the etiquette of the vassal audience, he showed the emperor the gifts he offered and his party, as well as the road conditions from Hexi to Bianjing.

"The Guiyi Army's admiration for the country and the country, and the thousands of miles to the dynasty are caused by His Majesty's heavenly might. The court and the Guiyi Army have not communicated for a long time, Zhang Zhongyao, you will tell you about the current situation of the Guiyi Army. "This is Prime Minister Xue Juzheng's visit on behalf of the emperor, and the envoys of foreign vassals brought it, and it is customary to ask about the truth and truth.

When Zhang Zhongyao saw the question, he said loudly: "I return to the righteous army according to the key passes in Hexi, and govern the eight towns in Erzhou, the two states are Guazhou and Shazhou, and the eight towns are Xincheng, Ziting, Yonggui, Hangquan, Xinxiang, Shouchang, Changle, and Huiji. More than 1,000 miles of land, 150,000 households, and 10,000 soldiers who dare to fight, are willing to defend the west of the river for our emperor and recover the Western Regions. He was secretly sad in his heart, when the ancestor Zhang Yichao was at the height of his command, the Guiyi Army included the land west of the river, the mountains and rivers of eleven states for 4,000 miles, the household registration was million, and the army was tens of thousands, and the current power was greatly reduced compared with before. Most of the lost land and households were occupied by the Uighurs, Tibetans, and Dangxiang.

Zhao Guangyi nodded, and was about to speak, when he heard Zhang Zhongyao say again: "The Guiyi army is located in the group of Hu, and the tiger and wolf clan have been around for a hundred years, and now there are Uighurs in Gansha Prefecture, there are hundreds of thousands of people, increasingly oppressive, and the Guiyi army is difficult to support. ”

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, under the persecution of the Khitan of the Central Plains court, he has no time to take care of himself, and the Hexi Guiyi Army is lonely in the Western Regions.

Zhao Guangyi frowned, he has always hated things beyond his grasp, today to receive the envoy from the feudal town, the monarch and the minister played a court ceremony that was arranged, who knew that there was an incident in his life. He looked at Zhang Zhongyao, and for no reason there was a disgust in his heart, he turned his head to Xue Juzheng, and asked coldly: "Prime Minister, what is the matter with this Gansha Prefecture Uighur?"

Xue Juzheng heard that Zhao Guangyi's tone was not good, and he hurriedly said: "The Uighurs of Ganzhou are the Hexi Domain, and in the third year of Qiande, they once paid tribute to the imperial court with 1,000 horses and 500 camels. There was a shortage of horses in the Central Plains, so he remembered the content of the Uighur tribute clearly, and if it was anything else, it would not be easy to answer it like this.

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Zhongyao: "Zhang Qing, the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs are both vassals of the imperial court. The imperial court will soon use troops in Taiyuan, and when the war in the north is over, if the Uighur vassal is still invading the Guiyi army, the imperial court will administer justice for you and others. After speaking, his face sank, and he stood up, and the ministers immediately said in a deep voice: "The ministers send your majesty to you." Zhao Guangyi stared at the ministers who sat down, slowly turned around, and walked into the inner court.

Zhang Zhongyao didn't have a chance to speak at all, and stood in the hall in a daze, looking at the empty dragon chair, not knowing what to do.
