Chapter 376: The five tiger generals go to the battlefield
In fact, what worries Zhao Changqing the most is the fact that the three legions are on the battlefield in Liang Kingdom.
Now that such a long time has passed, there is no news coming from there. Zhao Changqing even doubts whether the three major legions have been completely wiped out.
After all, the Liang Kingdom is different from the Duan Kingdom. Emperor Liang is a more powerful being than Emperor Duan Taizu. He is one of the few kung fu emperors in the world, and he is also proficient in the art of war.
The last time we had a battle with the Liang army in the plains, we almost fell into the hands of the Liang army.
The strength of the Liang Kingdom must not be underestimated.
What we are fighting this time is a war to destroy the country.
Before Zhuge Liang knew about it, Zhao Changqing informed Zhao Yun and summoned 300,000 troops. He wanted to enter the Liang Kingdom to fight. As a reserve force, he could not only curb the military expansion of the Liang Kingdom, but also assist Chen Qingzhi in Duanguo's campaign.
.
Not only was Zhao Changqing not informed of this matter, but no one in the civil and military officials knew about it.
Zhao Yun was also shocked at first. He took the initiative to ask for military service and wanted to take the place of the imperial commander in the expedition, but Zhao Changqing vetoed it. Now that the Wei State has a great cause, it can withstand the torment. As long as the Liang State can be destroyed, he will dominate the world.
It will be much faster.
Zhuge Liang and the others only noticed it after Zhao Yun made a change in mobilizing troops and horses.
He went to Zhao Yun to discuss the matter, and when he learned that His Majesty wanted to lead a military expedition in person, he persisted in his objection.
Zhuge Liang was afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would really make up his mind to lead the expedition in person, so in the middle of the night, he went to the palace overnight to meet the Emperor.
At first, Zhao Changqing thought something had happened, so he asked Zhuge Liang to wait for him in the Xuanzheng Hall.
But after the two met, Zhao Changqing realized that he was here for the imperial commander's personal expedition.
He said to Zhuge Liang: "It has been many years since I had a charioteer to personally conquer the country. When the country's power was declining, I was able to personally conquer it. Why can't I do it today?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "Your Majesty, it was precisely because the country was weak at the beginning that it was necessary for your Majesty to go on a personal expedition to boost the morale of the army. But now that our Wei State has strong soldiers and horses, and has firmly become one of the most powerful countries in the world, why do we need to personally conquer it? Isn't this unnecessary?
?What's more, in the eyes of Wei Chen, there is no need to send reinforcements at all in the war between Duan State and Liang State."
Zhao Changqing said: "I am going here just to avenge my previous humiliation. Emperor Liang humiliated me a lot back then. If I don't take revenge, I won't be able to swallow this breath."
Zhuge Liang blurted out: "If your majesty insists on taking charge of the expedition in person because of the bad anger in his heart, then the ministers think that it is not necessary. After all, your majesty's general defeated Emperor Liang. For Emperor Liang, this is more valuable than your majesty defeating him."
, it’s even more of a shame.”
Zhao Changqing said: "You have said all the good and bad things. I don't know what to say. But I can tell you clearly that even if I don't go on a personal expedition, I will send reinforcements to the battlefields of the two countries.
, this is to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
Zhuge Liang said: "If your Majesty is really worried, please let General Zhao Yun go! General Zhao Yun has not been on the battlefield for many years. If he does not take part in the war, I am afraid that the sword will be covered with dust."
Zhao Changqing understood what he meant. He was worried that Zhao Yun would become worse and worse than before because he had no chance to go to the battlefield.
I have to say that this concern is necessary.
He thought about it, and Gao Lishi, who stood quietly beside him, said: "Proclaim Zhao Yun for me."
Gao Lishi resigned after hearing this and went to personally invite General Zhao Yun.
For the rank of the Five Tiger Generals, His Majesty has personally said that all princes, whether in the harem or in the temple, must be treated with courtesy.
Therefore, Gao Lishi wanted to invite Zhao Yun in person.
Late at night, Zhao Yun, who was supposed to invade, was awakened by Gao Lishi. He quickly changed his clothes under the service of his wife, and then followed Gao Lishi to the palace.
On the way, Zhao Yunwen asked Gao Lishi: "Father, I don't know what your Majesty is calling me to do this time."
Gao Lishi shook his head and said worriedly: "When I was in the palace, I only vaguely heard that Your Majesty and the Prime Minister were quarreling, but I didn't dare to hear the specifics, so I didn't hear it."
Zhao Yun nodded.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived outside the palace wall.
Zhao Yun threw a piece of silver to Gao Lishi and said, "Father-in-law, I want to trouble my father-in-law with something, but I don't know if it's feasible?"
Gao Lishi did not dare to accept the ingot of gold from Zhao Yun, so he hurriedly said: "Hey, you are the Duke of Zhao. In our great Wei State, one person is less than ten thousand people. If there is something that needs to be sent to the slaves, the slaves will definitely do it. It's just that
You must not accept this gold. If you accept your gold, wouldn’t it mean that your life is shortened?"
Zhao Yun forced it on Gao Lishi and said: "This matter is also very simple. I just hope that if my father-in-law hears the news about the war beside your majesty's case, he hopes that he can tell me the parts that he feels are insignificant."
Since Zhao Yun became the commander of the armed forces, he has hardly experienced any wars. Although he holds the title of Minister of War, the first-hand information about wars outside the borders is often known to the bachelors in the cabinet first.
Unless you want to check it yourself, you will have to wait a day or two to see the latest battle report.
But if we do that, it will easily arouse His Majesty's suspicion.
That's why he thought of using Gao Lishi to obtain the border war.
I really want to fight.
I would rather die on the battlefield than die at home.
Gao Lishi smiled and said: "I thought it was a big deal. Please rest assured, Duke Zhao. Regarding the war on the border, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible."
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll have to thank my father-in-law."
Gao Lishi patted his chest and said, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way."
Zhao Yun followed Gao Lishi to the Xuanzheng Hall.
After Zhao Changqing saw Zhao Yun coming, he immediately asked: "Zilong, I ask you, are you willing to stay behind and take care of your country, or are you willing to join the battlefield wrapped in horse leather?"
Zhao Yun didn't even think about it and said firmly: "Your Majesty, Zilong would rather die on the battlefield than lie at home and take care of himself! What's more, Zilong is in his prime and should make contributions to the country!"
Zhao Changqing clapped his hands and praised: "Okay! I am here to ask you about your attitude today. I have just discussed with Prime Minister Zhuge and have decided on something. I will appoint you Zhao Yun as the Marshal of the Northern Expedition, leading an army of 300,000, to be raised by the Ministry of Household Affairs
After receiving food and payment, we can send troops to the frontier."
Zhao Yun was a little overjoyed when he heard this decree. He knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling it!"
Zhao Changqing said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I can tell you that your task is very arduous. As long as Duan and Liang need you on the battlefield, you can help them. I don't ask for anything else. I only want you."
If you can still show off your Zhao Zilong's seven-in and seven-out skills as before!"
Zhao Yun solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
