At noon, on the main campus in Jinyang City, in addition to necessary defense, all the armies inside and outside Jinyang have gathered. More than 20,000 sergeants, fully equipped, are bathing in the warm sunshine.
Under the leadership of the leader, they were waiting for the review by the King of Peking.
Liu Zhiyuan's inspection trip was to feel the "turmoil in the military's morale" and to calm people's hearts and stabilize morale. At the same time, he announced the specific date for sending troops to bring back the fallen emperor Shi Chonggui.
When the large car drove slowly into the school grounds, before Liu Zhiyuan could show up, all the soldiers in the audience burst into cheers in unison, looking at Wang Jia with "ardent" eyes and shouting long live.
The roar of more than 20,000 people was deafening and majestic, covering the sky with clouds. For a time, the entire Jinyang City was immersed in the soldiers' support for the King of Peking, and everyone looked sideways.
Leading the two brothers Liu Chengxun, Liu Zhiyuan walked up to the general platform. Yan Yi's face seemed to be filled with helplessness. He raised his hands in vain, and all the soldiers slowly calmed down in a disciplined manner.
After glancing around, Liu Zhiyuan coughed slightly and said loudly: "I have made up my mind to leave Taihang east on the fifteenth day of this month to welcome the Emperor back. For now, the Emperor is the most important thing and other matters will wait until I rescue His Majesty.
Work area!"
As soon as Liu Zhiyuan said these words, the soldiers under his command were very embarrassed. Shi Hongzhao stood up very quickly, mustered up his energy, and almost shouted out his throat: "Today the Khitan has fallen into the capital and is in charge of the emperor. There is no master in the world. There is no master in the world.
Who is the king of the world but me? It is better to correct your title first, and then set out to fight."
After Shi Hongzhao finished his expression, Liu Chong, Liu Xin, Guo Wei, Chang Si and other senior generals also quickly came out and knelt down: "I will see you, Your Majesty!"
The atmosphere of the scene suddenly reached a climax again. The sergeants in the front row, probably receiving the signal, shouted in unison. As for the soldiers in the middle and back rows, although they were not aware of the situation in front, they could not even hear the words of Liu Zhiyuan and others.
dialogue, but it does not prevent them from shouting along.
The scene of thousands of people shouting "Long Live Long Live" was very contagious. Liu Chengxun was beside his father, and his emotions were completely aroused. "Tears filled his eyes" and his body was shaking a little.
Liu Chengyou was at the side, his delicate face was very tight, trying hard not to show his appearance and remain autistic, but the result of holding it in too hard was that a layer of red light appeared on his face. Listening to the soldiers
Liu Chengyou's body became a little swaying as he shouted, his eyes gradually became blurred, and the scene of him accepting a mountain hug in the future could not help but appear in his mind.
His eyes quickly regained their clarity, and from the corner of his eye he subconsciously glanced at the excited elder brother beside him, and then quickly lowered his eyelids.
As the protagonist of the cheers, even Liu Zhiyuan, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but feel excited. However, he could still hold it back and refused again with some "difficulty".
Before the soldiers launched the next wave of "persecution," Liu Zhiyuan decisively ended the review and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he issued strict orders to the generals to care for the soldiers.
Liu Zhiyuan left in "embarrassment", but Liu Chengyou knew in his heart that this was the last time. The officials persuaded him to move forward, thousands of people petitioned, and thousands of troops supported him. Next time, Liu Zhiyuan would have no reason not to take the last step.
...
The army was under control from beginning to end. After the persuasion movement was over, the generals quickly calmed down the soldiers and guided them back to camp. This time, the efficiency was extremely high. At this juncture, everyone was very concerned and did not dare to make any mistakes.
What's wrong.
After the "campus turmoil" temporarily subsided, Liu Zhiyuan immediately convened civil and military officials at the palace to discuss the matter of sending troops. Liu Zhiyuan seemed to have really decided to send troops to meet him, and he discussed it with his subordinates meticulously.
The mobilization of troops and horses, the number of troops sent, the route of march, food, grass and weapons, and the support of the people were discussed in detail one by one.
"Your Majesty, after discussion with the generals and others, the army in Xinzhou needs to guard against Wang Hui of Daizhou and cannot move lightly. The soldiers on the southern front also need to be prepared. There is no room for loss in Jinyang. The city is left behind and the right wing of Xingjie is guarded. This is The second advance eastwards, Xingjie Zuoxiang, Wujie and Longqi armies, supplemented by Chengtian Army and other garrison troops, have 20,000 troops, which is enough!" In the hall, Guo Wei, who had been prepared for a long time, reported to Liu Zhiyuan in a loud voice:
"At Jingxing Pass, the Khitan Liu Jiu Division is still active, and it is necessary to send troops and horses in advance to attack it. The last general suggested that the commander of Shidu should lead the first division as the vanguard, and the king would lead the Chinese army to coordinate the response, and then appoint Long Qi as the heel army... ..."
Liu Chengyou was here, looking at Guo Wei who was talking eloquently indifferently. Let his Longqi Army be the palace army?
"Yes!" Liu Zhiyuan responded, seemingly satisfied with this arrangement, and turned to look at Wang Zhang.
Wang Zhang stood up and reported in a very capable manner: "Your Majesty, I have worked with my subordinate officials to count and allocate the grain and grass for the supplies. They can be dispatched to the armies at any time! The subsequent supplies are also being allocated!"
After Wang Zhang sat down, Yang Bin stood up decisively and reported: "Taiyuan Mansion can recruit 30,000 civilians to assist in the battle."
"But Your Majesty, it is the spring plowing season now. If we mobilize like this and miss the farming season, we may damage the agricultural capital and cause a loss of harvest in the future!" Unable to hold back, Yang Ping reminded him out of habit.
Hearing what Yang Bin said, Liu Zhiyuan directly waved his hand and said: "This time we march, we don't need to recruit civilians. During the march, we are not allowed to disturb the people or damage the crops!"
As soon as Liu Zhiyuan said these words, everyone present, including Yang Bin, Wang Zhang, Guo Wei, and Su Fengji, suddenly showed their faces.
Liu Zhiyuan seemed to be still thinking about how to greet him, so he remained silent for the time being and pondered. Yang Bin, Wang Zhang, and Guo Wei looked at each other, and finally Yang Bin broke the short silence: "Ahem. Your Majesty, the school grounds. I have all heard about what happened during the review!"
Raising his head, Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Yang Bin and others with a calm expression on his face: "It's enough for the sergeant to follow blindly and not understand the important affairs of the country. You, the cornerstone of Hedong, don't care about the overall situation? Do you still want to persuade us to advance?"
Yang Bin smiled and reported equally calmly: "Now the hearts of the near and far are in conflict with each other. This is God's will. Your Majesty, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to take it, if you don't give way, you are afraid that if people's hearts change, you will be blamed for it." That’s it.”
Liu Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, and then waved his hand in a "wanted mood": "Everyone, go down and prepare! On the 15th, the troops will be sent out on time, without any omissions!"
"yes!"
"We have come to this point. Your Majesty, you are still hesitating. What are you waiting for? Do you really want to spend money and food on soldiers, horses, and food to rescue that foolish king?" After the discussion, Shi Hongzhao walked with Guo Wei again, muttering in his mouth. .
Seeing Shi Hongzhao's impatience, Guo Wei became more and more calm and chuckled: "We have reached this point, so we don't have to worry anymore!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It won't take more than three or two days, and we will see the results!"
The matter of sending troops to rescue the Jin Emperor was established and confirmed. The government offices in Jinyang were busy, and all the armies were mobilized and prepared to send out troops. These movements were not mixed with any water.
However, I wonder if any smart people have thought about it carefully. At the beginning of last month, Shi Chonggui and his family were sent to move north by Yelu Deguang. It has been more than a month now, and no matter how slow the journey is, they have already left the country.
Liu Zhiyuan made such a big move and wanted to go east to Jingxing to rescue him. Where to go to rescue him? However, it seemed that everyone deliberately ignored this problem.
