"Your Majesty, the Hebei Righteous Army has now arrived close to the Yellow River, and it is still eight miles away."

"Your Majesty......"

Listening to Wu Cha's uninterrupted report, Zhao Shuo was already looking forward to it.

According to the time planned before, Zong Ze led the army to Bianliang today.

Before you know it, it's already three poles in the sun.

The accompanying father-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared a tent for Zhao Shuo to enjoy the coolness.

Zhao Shuo sat on the chair and took a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty, Zongze's army is crossing the river, less than two miles away."

"I saw it, I saw it."

Zhao Shuo groaned and stood up, turned over and got on his horse.

He saw an army with mutilated weapons and armor crossing the river on a bamboo raft.

Although they were separated by two miles, they could clearly feel the solemn aura exuded by those sergeants.

Zong Ze's commander is still far beyond ordinary people!

It took half an hour for the army to cross the river.

By this time it was already noon.

After the army crossed the river, Zong Ze reorganized the military formation.

At this time, Fei Zhong, who was following Zong Ze, said: "General, look, the dragon flag fluttering in front of you seems to be Your Majesty's royal car. ”

Liu Hao also frowned and looked over: "Oh my God, it's really Your Majesty's royal car, General, Your Majesty is here to welcome you." ”

Zong Ze heard that his body trembled, and he looked at it.

Although he is old, he can see it clearly.

The yellow dragon banner fluttering in the wind, and the majestic forbidden army guards.

Isn't it the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty who came in person?

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

The corners of Zong Ze's mouth murmured, unbelievable, and extremely moved.

He took the lead in riding his horse and galloped towards the place where Zhao Shuo was stationed.

At this moment, Zong Ze was flattered.

Even at this moment, let this old general go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he will definitely not frown.

Zhao Shuo on the other side saw a white-haired old man rushing towards him.

In my mind, a famous scene of Lian Po being old and still able to eat instantly appeared.

That old man is Zong Ze!

Let's see that although Zong Ze is old, he is galloping on his horse, and the Yanling knife in his hand is even more sassy.

Even if it was Zhao Shuo, he could see the horse skills behind him from his riding skills.

No one dared to underestimate Zong Ze.

Not even the Golden Vulture Technique!

Seeing Zong Ze getting closer and closer, Zhao Shuo couldn't wait to walk up.

Zong Ze was shocked, hurriedly dismounted, took off his helmet, stepped forward and bowed down: "The old minister sees Your Majesty." ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live long live."

"Your Majesty, the old minister is afraid, how can He De bother His Majesty to welcome him personally, such a heavenly grace, the old minister will never die."

Looking at the white-haired old man, Zhao Shuo's heart was also hot.

He hurriedly took the helmet in his Zong Ze's hand and stepped forward to help Zong Ze up.

"Old general, I hope that you are like a great drought and a rain, and now, you have finally come to Bianliang City."

"Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed, let Your Majesty wait here for a long time!"

"Eh, the old general is the soul of the Great Song Army, even if I wait a little longer, what's the matter? Quick, hurry up and follow me into the palace, I have prepared a banquet for the old general, for the generals and soldiers. ”

"The old minister is terrified."

"Old general, don't do this."

"The old minister obeys."

Zong Ze didn't shirk anymore, and followed behind Zhao Shuo with his head down.

But the corner of his eye took care of Zhao Shuo's demeanor.

I think that the Great Song Dynasty really has the atmosphere of an ancient emperor!

Zhao Shuo had just entered Bianliang City.

From Li Huai's side, there was news that Li Gang had returned from the Yellow River control area and was reinstated.

Zhao Shuo was in a good mood and ordered Li Huai to go outside the city to greet him, and to allow Li Gang to enter the palace in armor with the courtesy of the Grand Duke.

Wearing armor to enter the palace, this is also a rare honor in the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years.

There is no way, Zhao Shuo has already picked up Zong Ze, and he can't pick up Li Gang when he goes out of the city.

Therefore, Li Gang was given the same noble treatment.

To show that he treats these two veterans equally.

At this time, inside the Wende Temple.

Li Yanhui, the cabinet assistant of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Gang, the commander of the Yellow River, Chen Xinghan, the commander of the Northwest Army, the Shou Zongze of Cheng'an County of Hebei, and Zhang Shu, the commander of the Northern Theater, all gathered at night.

These are all famous generals in the Northern Song Dynasty in history.

It is the all-star combination of the end of the world in Zhao Shuo's eyes.

It was also the first time that Zhao Shuo gathered with the core members.

Looking at these famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty who would follow themselves to change the trajectory of history, Zhao Shuo raised his glass and toasted everyone.

For the feast is only a rite.

So at the banquet, everyone just pushed the glass and changed the lamp to express their hidden worries about the Great Song Dynasty.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Zhao Shuo arranged for everyone to enter the main hall for discussion.

"All Aiqing, gathered together today, I am very relieved."

"But now that Song and Jin are facing each other, the situation is tense."

"I won't waste your Aiqing's time, I'm getting straight to the point."

"In the winter, the Jin army will definitely go south. And their forces will inevitably be stronger before. ”

"Therefore, the strategy of building a military town and a northwest defense line that I proposed earlier is urgent."

"Now, I want to coordinate with you to speed up the process, so that the gold thieves who will commit crimes in the future will be defeated."

Zhao Shuo said this, turned around and came to the Great Song Dynasty territory map on the palace wall.

The generals followed closely behind, staring at the map and frowning in thought.

These people were the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty.

There is no need to question their patriotism towards the Great Song Dynasty.

It can stand the test, too.

Zhao Shuo stood in front of the map and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have appointed you before, and this time I just want to determine your respective jurisdictions and responsibilities. ”

"When I was besieged in Bianliang City, did you ever witness the draft of the "Treatise on Anti-Jin Strategy"?"

Zhao Shuo's gaze shifted from Zhang Shuye on the left to Li Gang on the far right.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have seen it. His Majesty is wise and martial, and the ministers have no objections. ”

"Well, what do you guys think of this winter's big war?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can still defend the attack."

Uncle Zhang spoke at night.

Zong Ze looked at Uncle Zhang and immediately agreed: "The old minister also agrees with Uncle Ye's strategy. ”

"The minister agrees."

Now everyone actually understands it.

Although the local uprising of the Great Song Dynasty has been suppressed.

Now it has also begun to enter the mode of benign development.

But after all, there is still a gap in each other's military hard power.

Therefore, even if it is delayed until the end of the year, with the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to launch a counterattack against the gold thieves or even go north directly.

Because it's not realistic.

The best tactic at the moment is to forcibly defend the city and drag down the Jin army.

Then, while they were returning north in the coming year and were busy with resource reserves, the Song army gathered the elite and went north to capture the three major towns in the north occupied by the gold thieves.

Therefore, it is irrational to talk about the Northern Expedition at this stage.

The generals present were all famous generals of the time.

They will not show their 'wisdom' on such a rigorous occasion.

Zhao Shuo nodded.

He is confident in his strategic vision.

Now that so many generals have deeply agreed, Zhao Shuo feels that his plan is foolproof.
