Chapter 226: The Warriors
Although he has been the Son of Heaven for more than three years, Zhao Kuangyin still retains a lot of good habits.
For example, every morning, be sure to box, draw a bow and practice a gun.
There is another big event in the heart of the Zhao official family, that is, the sixteen states of Yanyun that were taken away by the Liao State.
Every time he mentioned the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Kuangyin would be excited, and his red face turned purple.
"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will always be an inseparable part of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!"
He was serious, he really felt that as a native of Zhuozhou, he had to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, persuaded him.
"Official, you can't be in a hurry."
"What's the hurry! Fifty years have passed, and the remnants of the Central Plains have all died, how can you let the local people respond to you at that time! Zhao Kuangyin said.
Lord Wang Pu also persuaded him, because Jiangnan had been divided for decades, and there was nothing to worry about.
"My Prime Minister," Zhao Kuangyin looked at him, "You are really a scholar, whether it is Wu or Southern Tang, the people there have the same books and the same track, although the climate is warm, they all read Confucian sages, but the Khitan people are not, they eat meat and milk, wear fur, and they have occupied the place for a long time, and everyone will wear their hair on the left." ”
Zhao Kuangyin is right, but now there is really no way to pick up the Khitans, Jingnan and Hunan have just been defeated, there is Shu in the west, there is also the Southern Han in the south, although Fujian, Southern Tang and Wu Yue are vassals, but after all, they still have their own troops - these problems will have to be solved sooner or later, not to mention the Khitans, as well as the Northern Han entrenched in Taiyuan.
Zhao Kuangyin had to practice his martial arts as much as possible, so that his body was stronger, and the emperor who guarded the success was the smaller he was, the more determined he was, but the emperor who was on the horse, the older he was, the more valuable he was.
With Zhao Kuangyin's experience in leading troops, if he can still drive the expedition in person at the age of seventy, then the young emperor of the Khitan must not be an opponent, and he must shout surrender.
In the spring of the fourth year of Jianlong, Da Song had a good start:
Murong Yanzhao's fast horse biography was constantly good news, conquering Jiangling, Xiangyang, Langzhou and Tanzhou, and Jingnan and Hunan returned to the imperial court.
Attacking Taoyuan, although it is a "hand-in-hand", it is also extra worrying, Zhao Kuangyin knows the power of that land.
In fact, there is a difficult thing in the palace - the queen is getting sicker and worse, and it has reached the last moment.
Although it is not Zhao Kuangyin's original partner, Queen Wang is virtuous and virtuous, has served the Empress Dowager Du for a long time, and has experienced the change of dynasty together, it is not an exaggeration to say that "feelings are very good".
On this morning, the begonia flowers bloomed just right, Zhao Kuangyin shot fifty arrows in the imperial garden, practiced a gun stick again, and suddenly saw a parrot in the sky.
This is Duan Meimei's macaw hair, a lazy and immovable bird, Zhao Kuangyin has an impression.
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin stretched out his hand, he was about to take the letter from the bird, but the bird was a human spirit, and it was a sycophant, it fell directly to the ground, first bowed his head and saluted, and then walked to Zhang Dejun, who was waiting beside him.
"Look at this bird, it's really polite." Zhang Dejun flattered the official family, untied the foot tube on the bird's feet, took out the paper roll, did not dare to open it, and took it directly to Zhao Kuangyin, and then handed the bird to the palace maid to feed the melon seeds.
Zhao Kuangyin gently opened the paper scroll, this is a thin volume, the thin small block is obviously a woman's handwriting, the calligraphy is not good, but the handwriting is also delicate and neat, this is the ability that Duan Meimei practiced when she was a female shopkeeper.
"The official family, Taoyuan has been pacified, according to the will of the official family, Linquan Town has been restored, the Governor's Mansion has been established, the eldest princess of Jiangnan Li Lianqiao and my father-in-law Xu Jin have disappeared, and their whereabouts are unknown......"
Zhao Kuangyin's brows locked, although the eradication of Li Lianqiao can be regarded as eliminating a thunder in the pacification of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but if you want to lose Xu Yongzhi for this woman, then Zhao Kuangyin will definitely not agree.
"The army will return to Bianliang under the leadership of Adjutant General Li Shoujie." Duan Meimei finally explained.
This letter is a family letter, written by the younger brother and sister to the eldest brother, the official excerpt, Li Shoujie has to come, and he has to go through the official post station.
Zhao Kuangyin's head tightened, and he felt that his eyes were black, Zhang Dejun hurriedly brought a circle chair and asked the official family to sit down and rest.
"Passing on the Imperial Doctor."
Zhao Kuangyin felt uncomfortable.
Before Zhang Dejun could call the imperial doctor, a small chamberlain hurriedly ran in from outside.
"Enlighten the official family!"
"Idiot!" Zhang Dejun kicked the little waiter in the head with one kick, what to run!
"Let him speak." Zhao Kuangyin said with his hand on his temple.
"Official, the mother is ......"
suddenly lost his brother-in-law and wife in the middle of the morning, and Zhao Kuangyin's heart was suddenly seized by a great sadness.
"Oops!"
Zhang Dejun hurriedly blasted out the palace maid and the little chamberlain.
The tears of a lion cannot be shown to a porcupine.
Duan Meimei originally planned to return to Bianliang first, but under Li Shoujie's pleading, she still decided to go back with the military horse.
"Dechen," Duan Meimei asked, "why do you have to follow the army?" ”
"Madam, my lord is not in the army, although I can lead the army, but I am a sinner, and my father committed suicide in rebellion." Li Shoujie said.
"So you're thinking about it." Duan Meimei nodded.
"Every civil and military official, the most important thing to consider is this matter - the relationship with the emperor, only an adult like an adult, a person who is completely trusted by the official family, dares to be so rampant and loyal." Li Shoujie said.
Duan Meimei heard "rampant loyalty". I couldn't help but smile a little gently.
She didn't even know if she should laugh or not.
Xu Yongzhi is not dead, so she can't wear filial piety clothes to mourn, and she can't mourn her husband;
But Xu Yongzhi has no whereabouts, so Duan Meimei shouldn't seem to smile every day.
"You ruthless, you should send me a letter!" When the army arrives and sets up camp at night, she will fight in the night, not knowing what to do tomorrow or why she is alive.
In today's words, she fell into a state of depression, she didn't sleep well, and she slept lightly, and the knocking buckets in the army would wake her up again and again, and this spring had not really warmed up, and the chill was particularly obvious when she was traveling by the river.
When she marched, she put on Xu Yongzhi's red armor and the "Song" word helmet, Xu Yongzhi's army was all bright red armor and red guns, which made the common people see them from a distance.
"Are you the army of Yamagito?" A tall old man asked with a smile.
"Is it the Bow and Arrow Society?" A short old man asked mysteriously.
Comprehend the spirit, what the people asked, in fact, is whether this is the team of the sons of the Xu family, everyone remembers the pulmonary epidemic a few years ago, how Xu Zhixun issued medicines, prescriptions, and saved the local people, and it is not an exaggeration to say "the country's warriors are unparalleled".
"We are the official army of the Great Song Dynasty," Fei Datou explained to the two old men, "but it is not wrong to say that Shanzitang and the Xu family are not wrong. ”
"I'll just say, only the Xu family's team has such beautiful clothes." The tall old man said to the short old man.
That's right, the training uniforms of the Bow and Arrow Club were particularly eye-catching, with white stripes hanging in dark blue, which were designed by Tian Xiaoqian.
Fei Datou smiled: "The brothers of the Shanzitang and the Bow and Arrow Club are all in this team, and they are our own team." ”
Old man Gao heard his Tanzhou accent and felt kind.
"It's good to have your own team, you see, it's the same Song Army, and the previous two are much worse."
The short old man pulled him in and wouldn't let him say more.
"Uncle, are there still two Song armies?"
"Early in the morning, two Song armies fought in Xiangzhou."
"Fighting?" Fei Datou was taken aback.
"It's scary to say that two generals are fighting for command," said the old man, ...... Gao.
Fei Datou hurriedly made a move, and Pegasus rushed to the Chinese army and reported to Duan Meimei and Li Shoujie.
"The fellow said that there are two Song armies in Xiangzhou that are at war!"
This sentence startled both Duan Meimei and Li Shoujie.
"Is it ......?"
"I'll take a few people first." Duan Meimei hurriedly made arrangements.
"The last will accompany you!" Fei Datou said.
She ordered a hundred spearmen to follow her first, these soldiers all had horses, and they were the old brothers of Xu Yongzhi when he was in the Yamen of the Infantry Army, and they were the most elite.
"Madame, don't force it." Li Shoujie hurriedly asked.
When Duan Meimei rushed into the imminent battlefield with a hundred people, the war drums were already beating on both sides.
There are about 500 people in the west, and the banner is the soldiers of the Murong family.
There are about seven or eight hundred people in the east, and looking at the banner, they are Li Chuyun's subordinates.
Both sides are dominated by infantry, and the Murong family has dozens of cavalry, but Li Chuyun's men have crossbows, and if they really fight, it is unknown who will kill the deer.
There are no generals.
No ~ general?
A fight between soldiers?
The Song troops on both sides were all in black armor, but the cavalry of the Murong family all wore white strips of cloth on their arms for identification.
"Stop!"
Duan Meimei took off her helmet and kicked Xu Yongzhi's little white horse and rushed between the two armies.
"What are you!" On Li Chuyun's side, a rough man saw a woman come out and scolded uncleanly.
Fei Da raised his head and raised his hand, and threw it on the man's helmet, which was a golden flower in his eyes at that time.
This is the ability of the navy, he usually flies stones with his bare hands, and if the enemy is far away, he uses a sling.
The man was immediately convinced, and looking at Fei Datou's uniform, it was clearly a deputy commander level, and he knew that he had met the chief.
"This is Mrs. Jiedu! Don't be rude. Fei Datou shouted.
Although the two groups of soldiers sharpened their knives, they did not lose control, and dismounted one after another, threw down their crossbows, and saluted Duan Meimei.
"The court paid you, with such good armor and a divine arm bow, did it make you kill each other?" Duan Meimei's face was sad.
"Madam, we are not afraid of your jokes, our General Li and your Lord Xu are friends, and their General Murong and your Lord Xu are teachers and students, you can't break this case, we want to go to Beijing to sue the royal court!"
Duan Meimei frowned.
"Sue what? Let me enter Xiangzhou City, pick up the weapon, and kill the unauthorized one! ”
"Murong Jun is on the left side of the road, Li Jun is on the right, and Lin Quanjun is in the middle - everyone will march well for me, and I will go to the commander when I enter the city!" Duan Meimei said.
"Madam, let's not talk too much, I don't think the city is peaceful, the eyes of these two teams are not right, this is a big muddy water." Fei Datou whispered.
"Wading in muddy waters, it's the style of Shanzitang." Duan Meimei said.
"Hey, hey." Fei Datou didn't say much, but arranged for the soldiers of the headquarters to carefully separate the two armies, this strange team, went straight to Xiangzhou, a catastrophe, was waiting for them.
