The next day, Tokyo.

As soon as Zhao Guangyi got out of the court, he locked himself in the imperial study and carefully reviewed the notes, and soon the approved notes were piled up in front of him. Zhao Guangyi saw that there was no major event in the Great Song Dynasty recently, but he was happy to be idle for a few days.

When he casually picked up the Tang newspaper sent by Shiling Pass in front of him, his face suddenly became gloomy like water, and even his eyes were slightly red. Zhao Guangyi held this newspaper and looked back and forth many times, as if he doubted the authenticity of this newspaper and told himself a fact that he was unwilling to accept.

Zhao Guangyi's hands trembled slightly at this time, and his voice was slightly choked, "Guo Jin, you defeated the Liao army at Shiling Pass this time, and I wanted to vigorously promote you, but why did you go at this time?" Within two years, Fu Yanqing was killed by a traitor, Zhao Dezhao committed suicide, and now even Ling has gone, and there are fewer and fewer people around me who can be trusted. ”

"Squeak" The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and at this time, someone came in to disturb him, and Zhao Guangyi was a little displeased. He gathered his mind and looked at the door of the imperial study, with a hint of anger in his eyes. When he saw that it was Wang Jien who walked in, half of the anger in his chest immediately disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Jieen, I just got the report, Guo Jin has died of illness a few days ago, and I have lost another favorite general." Fortunately, the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty has been included in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and the location of Shiling Pass is not as important as before. ”

Wang Jien saw that Zhao Guangyi's face was not good, and he didn't dare to say as much as before, so he couldn't help but become trembling, "Official, what you said is very true, the old slave will do what you say in a few days." He paused for a moment and said, "Official, Yun Tongju is waiting outside the palace, saying that he has something important to see, but I don't know if he will be announced?" ”

Zhao Guangyi slowly put down the imperial pen, frowned slightly, and said secretly, "What happened to Yun Zixiao coming to see me?" Could it be that I sent him to assassinate Zhao Dezhao last time, and now he has come to me to ask for a reward? He thought for a long time before he said, "Call him in." ”

Wang Jien responded softly, hurriedly walked out of the imperial study, and brought Yun Zixiao into the room after a short time. Zhao Guangyi saw that Yun Zixiao was coming, and he was still holding a long scroll in his hand, and he felt more and more strange, "Yun Tongju, what are you holding in your hand?" Could it be your Danqing Ink Treasure, do you want me to taste it for you? ”

Yun Zixiao slowly walked in front of Zhao Guangyi, and said with a smile: "The official family is really wise, this scroll is indeed painted by Wei Chen, but it is not a calligraphy and painting, but a picture of the formation, please watch the official family." ”

"Formation?" Zhao Guangyi was surprised by Yun Zixiao's words, and at the same time very interested, the sadness and anger in Fang Cai's eyes had been completely replaced by curiosity and anticipation. Seeing this, Yun Zixiao arched his hand at Wang Jien and said, "Nobleman, I still have to trouble you to help the subordinate unfold this volume." ”

Wang Jien nodded, holding the axis with both hands, while Yun Zixiao slowly unfolded the scroll. Not long after, a delicately arranged and magnificent array was slowly displayed in front of Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi was deeply attracted by the formation diagram, and involuntarily stood up and walked to the long scroll to look at it carefully. His gaze first briefly swept over the large array, and then looked at every detail one by one, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this array was incomparably wonderful and wonderful.

He asked curiously: "Yun Tong Judge, the formation you painted in the picture is mysterious and profound, and the layout is very different from all the formations, I don't know how you came up with it?" ”

Yun Zixiao gave a deep salute and said: "Official, although this formation is from the hands of Wei Chen, it is not Wei Chen's idea, this formation is what the official family thinks, but it is drawn by Wei Chen's hand, so that it can be used to the world." ”

Zhao Guangyi looked at the array again and again, and then stared at Yun Zixiao in disbelief, and asked: "Yun Tongju, I am sure that I have learned this array for the first time today, why do you say that this formation was conceived by me?" ”

Yun Zixiao smiled slightly and explained: "Five days ago, Weichen had a dream, in which the official family invited hundreds of officials to go to the outside of the city, and Weichen was fortunate to be among the invited hundred officials. At the beginning, Weichen was only an official family, but he set up an ordinary battle array, but at a glance, it was majestic and exquisite, which made Weichen feel impressed. Later, Weichen woke up, and according to the vague memory in the dream, this formation was drawn. ”

Zhao Guangyi stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Yuntong judge, your horse is really clever, and I am very useful." Since you said that this array was placed by me, then I will announce this array in my own name and convey it to the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Liao people will not dare to underestimate my Great Song Dynasty! ”

Yun Zixiao bowed his head slightly, and then said: "Official, all battle formations must have names, Weichen only remembered the formation for a while, but forgot the name of the formation, and hoped that the officials would not hesitate to give advice." ”

Zhao Guangyi said without thinking: "The Great Song Dynasty has this array, and Pingrong is worry-free. In my opinion, this array will be called the Pingrong Wanquan Array! I don't know what Yuntong thinks? ”

Yun Zixiao said: "Official, as long as you think it is appropriate, Weichen naturally has no objections." In addition to this array diagram, Weichen has another matter, he wants to report long live. ”

Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "Say! ”

Yun Zixiao groaned for a while and said: "Official, in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun before, you had to start a war with the Liao army, but the Liao army was fierce and abnormal, and the Song army was defeated in the Gaoliang River. Now the Liao army is bound to think that there is no one in our Great Song Dynasty, and they will definitely send a large army to retaliate, I don't know how the official family plans to resist the enemy? ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned and sighed, "Yuntong's judgment is really high, I am still worried about this matter, but it is difficult to resist." However, I have seen the Pingrong Wanquan Formation, and I am confident, and I believe that as long as the border guards have a map, they will be able to defeat the Liao army! ”

Yun Zixiao nodded, "Since the official family is so determined, it seems that Weichen is too worried." After he finished speaking, he gave a deep salute again, and said reluctantly: "Weichen has been detained in Beijing for a long time, and it is time to return to the state of punishment as usual. ”

Zhao Guangyi was also reluctant, hesitated slightly, and said: "Yuntong judge, I have been with you for a few days, and some are reluctant to let you go, it is better for me to find an official position for you in Beijing, and you can stay in Beijing with peace of mind." ”

Wang Jien hurriedly reminded: "The official family, now there is only a vacancy in the Ministry of Works, and Yuntong Judge happens to be quite proficient in the organs, in the opinion of the old slave, the official Feng Yuntong is the most suitable for the Ministry of Works." ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "Yunqing family, are you satisfied with the official family appointing you as the waiter of the Ministry of Works?" ”

Yun Zixiao was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and after thinking for a long time, he still said: "The official family, the micro-minister has not made much merit but has been wrongly loved by the official family, and he is already deeply frightened, and he dare not accept a high-ranking official such as the squire of the Ministry of Works, and I hope that the official family will think twice!" ”

Zhao Guangyi shook his head and said: "Yunqing family, you once represented the Great Song Dynasty as an envoy to the Liao State, and when the Daimyo's Mansion was in chaos, you cleaned up the rank of officials for me. During the Northern Expedition, Liu Jiyuan, Yang Ye and others were persuaded to surrender, and the city of Yizhou recommended Kong Shouzheng to take the city without a single soldier. After the war, you rushed back to Tokyo for me, prevented the king of Wugong County from becoming emperor, reported the person who supported the king of Wugong County as emperor, and ended the aftermath for me. Today you have drawn such a miraculous array, with which you can win a hundred battles. This pile of piles, one by one, which is not the credit of hard work, I named you as the servant of the Ministry of Works, why are you so humble? ”

Yun Zixiao said sincerely: "Official, these are the duties of Weichen, and they are really not a merit. If the official family insists on adding the title of Weichen, Weichen does not dare to expect high-ranking officials to be generous, and only asks the official family to be the governor of the criminal state, and the Weichen will be grateful! ”

Zhao Guangyi thought about it for a long time, and then said with some regret: "Okay, I will agree to your request, and send your friend Mo Feifeng to replace you in the general sentence of Xingzhou, so that you can get along day and night and contribute to the country together." ”

Yun Zixiao said gratefully: "Thank you official, Weichen will never disappoint you!" ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled, and turned to Wang Jien: "You go and convey the message for me, order Pan Mei and Yang Ye to hold the line of Daijun and Yanmen, and then order Li Jilong, Cui Han, and Li Hanqiong to carry the formation map and go to Mancheng to garrison, be sure to act according to the map, and never give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it." Beware of the Liao army breaking through the city and invading other state towns. ”

Wang Jien answered, hurriedly put away the formation diagram, and went out of the house to give the order. Yun Zixiao took the formation diagram, dedicated his hands to the dragon book case, and then gave a deep salute again, and said reluctantly: "Official, Wechen will leave, but I hope that Wechen will see the day in the future." ”

Zhao Guangyi put his hands on Yun Zixiao, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears, "Yunqing's family, you can go with confidence, I hope you will achieve better results in Xingzhou, and I will be waiting for you in Beijing." ”

Yun Zixiao arched his hand and said, "Official, take care." After speaking, he walked slowly towards the imperial study.

Zhao Guangyi looked at his distant back, and always felt that he couldn't give up, at this moment he once again deeply understood why Murong Yanyun favored Yun Yimo so much in the past, and why his second brother Zhao Kuangyin favored Zhao Pu so much, he hoped that he and Yun Zixiao could also achieve a good story between monarchs and ministers, but unfortunately this was just his wishful thinking.
