Chapter 248: The Wall of Dung Is Unstoppable
Yang Mi has a good impression of Murong Yu himself, and at this moment, when he heard Zhang Mengxian ask for merit for him, he understood the reason, and immediately said, "I didn't expect that this battle would be due to the credit of Murong Brother's little brother, it seems that I really didn't see the wrong person, and even more so for my Great Chu Country, come on, come on, you and go with me to meet the emperor, and I can also ask for credit for you!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Murong Yu's arm.
When the soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but glance at Murong Yu a few more times, and some people secretly held a grudge in their hearts.
Murong Yu naturally knew the allusion of the gun hitting the first bird, and hurriedly thanked him, but said in his mouth: "Thank you Xiangye for your kindness, the last general is also a fluke and speculates randomly, which is really not a merit." Let's talk about it later!"
Yang Mi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, where did he not know the reason why Murong Yu said this, not to mention that he was able to get into this position now, and naturally had a temperament that others did not have, and suddenly understood what Murong Yu was worried about, and laughed, "This king knows what you are worried about, you don't want to regard these brothers of my Great Chu Kingdom as those traitors and thieves of the Great Song Dynasty." Although my brothers are all from the grass and have never read any books, they are all quite sincere and will never engage in any intrigue. Since you have a great merit in this battle, it is only natural for this king to ask for credit for you, don't say that it is for you to ask for credit, that is, to immediately crown you as a general, and no one will do ghosts behind your back. My Great Chu Kingdom has always been rewarded for meritorious deeds, and will never show favoritism for public gain, although the little brother Murong can rest assured. ”
"The little brother hasn't thanked Xiangye yet. Zhang Mengxian glanced at Murong Yu.
Murong Yu had no choice but to respond, "Thank you Xiangye, and thank Xiangye for your great kindness." ”
As soon as the group of people returned to the Pingtian Palace, the ministers had already arrived. Subsequently, generals came one after another to report on the situation of the battle.
Zhong Ziyi, who was sitting on the dragon couch, asked eagerly when he saw Yang Mi and the others coming back, "Uncle, how are you preparing for this trip?"
Yang Qi hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, everything has been prepared, it can be said that it is quite smooth, and the surrounding rebels have received the emperor's will, and they have all done their best to help, and they have given me all the surplus food at home." The grain and grass collected alone is enough for our army for three months. When the time is ripe, the emperor can order to lead the army to the expedition and annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop. ”
"Okay!" Zhong Ziyi said loudly, and his heart was also excited, "I said that with my uncle here, this matter will be successfully completed." Originally, I was worried that there would be many obstacles to this trip, but it seems that I am too worried. ”
"Thanks to the emperor's protection, otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for Weichen to come back to see the emperor. Yang Qi said, "Fortunately, General Zhang sent troops in time, so that Weichen was able to transport all the grain and grass back." ”
"I know what my uncle is referring to, so my uncle can rest assured. Zhong Ziyi said slowly, "I didn't expect that the Song army came so urgently on this trip, which was really unexpected by me. But fortunately, my uncle Hongfu Qitian defeated the Song army in one fell swoop, otherwise, my Great Chu Kingdom is afraid that it will be in danger. Since, today's General Zhang has made great contributions, and I am not as mediocre as the dog emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I should be rewarded for my meritorious deeds. ”
After speaking, his tone paused, and then, the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a smile, and said, "Where is Zhang Mengxian?" ”
"The minister is here!" Zhang Mengxian walked out of the ranks and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Zhong Ziyi said, "This time my Great Chu State has won a great victory, and all the pillars and soldiers of our army have made meritorious contributions. General Zhang not only successfully defeated the invading Song army, but also assisted Xiang Ye to raise grain and grass, and I named you the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Great Chu State, and took charge of the affairs of the soldiers and horses of all departments. ”
"Thank you for your kindness. When Zhang Mengxian heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down, "Weichen Xie Emperor rewarded, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Zhang Shuai flattened. Zhong Ziyi said with a smile, "In the future, I will hand over all the soldiers and horses of the Great Chu State to you, and I hope that Aiqing can make many achievements for the country." ”
Zhang Mengxian hurriedly thanked him and was about to ask Zhong Ziyi for Murong Yu.
At this moment, a military general in armor hurriedly ran into the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory, our army has successfully defeated the attack of the Great Song Dynasty and achieved victory! It has even burned a lot of warships of the Song army, haha!"
Zhong Ziyi looked at him extremely embarrassed, a little crying and laughing, and said angrily, "Look at you, this impetuous appearance, where is a bit of a general's appearance, what is the difference between it and the hooligans on the street." I see you, it's better to hurry up and learn more etiquette from General Zhang. Otherwise, it will inevitably make others laugh off their big teeth in the future. ”
When the visitor heard Zhong Ziyi say this, his face couldn't help but leak a look of shame, and he hurriedly scratched his head and muttered in his mouth, "The last general is really overjoyed, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness." Besides, the last general was born in a reckless manner, where can he compare to General Zhang's scholarly family, the emperor still spared the last general. ”
"It is true that rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be enclosed. Zhong Ziyi said angrily, but he was already extremely happy, so naturally he wouldn't really be angry with him, so he hurriedly asked, "Don't talk nonsense, since you're here to report the results of the battle, I don't know, what are the casualties of our army?"
The visitor scratched his head and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, after preliminary statistics, our army has lost more than 200 people, more than 1,500 wounded, and more than 10 warships have been sunk. ”
"More than ten warships were defeated?" Zhong Ziyi's face changed, "It seems that although our army won the victory in this battle, there are still many gaps in the actual results of the confrontation with the Song army. At present, the training of sailors is far less rapid than that of the army, and it is even more difficult to train an outstanding sailor talent, and it is still necessary to rely on the dedication of the generals in the future. ”
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.
Zhong Ziyi did not stop, then glanced at the people in the hall, and said loudly, "As for the brothers who died in this battle, my uncle must personally do a good job of dealing with the aftermath. ”
Yang Qi nodded and said, "Please rest assured that the emperor will definitely complete the task." ”
"I'll leave it to my uncle. Zhong Ziyi nodded, and said in a deep voice, "You are all important ministers of my Great Chu State, and you also know that the situation is critical now, not to mention that the Song army is eyeing each other now, and you generals need to do their best to perform their duties, and you must not slack off, so that the Song army has an opportunity." If you let me know who dropped the chain at a critical time, then don't blame me for not being emotional. ”
The ministers in the Pingtian Hall hurriedly kowtowed, "The ministers obey the order!"
"Hmm. Zhong Ziyi waved her hand impatiently, "Since there is nothing to do, then you can go and get busy, uncle, as for other things, I will leave it to you." ”
Yang Mi bowed and responded, "Although the emperor can rest assured, Weichen will do it." ”
