Zhao Yun picked up the document and looked through it, and saw that it was already signed by Cheng Jue. He finally gave up and agreed that the court would pay for it.
Zhao Yun smiled with satisfaction and thought to himself: This Cheng Jue is really a donkey. He has to be scolded a few times before he can behave obediently.
Zhao Yun knew that Cheng Ju had ordered someone to send a document and handed it over to him for review, and he also wanted to admit his mistake, so that Zhao Yun would not hate him again, so he acted quickly because you recognized the situation.
Feeling proud, Zhao Yun said: "Gao Shi, go and tell Cheng Jue that from now on, the military pay for the 50,000-strong army must be paid in priority and no arrears are allowed. Don't just try to fool us by saying you have no money. I won't do this.
"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shi respectfully agreed, turned around and left the study slowly.
Immediately, Zhao Yun summoned Han Hong. He was the privy envoy, and Zhao Yun wanted to consult him on many military matters.
When Han Hong came, the king and his ministers opened their hearts and had a good chat. Zhao Yun suddenly felt relaxed and happy.
Finally, Zhao Yun talked about the establishment of 50,000 new troops and said: "Cheng Ju has already signed the documents. This Cheng Ju is really a donkey. He needs me to give him a nudge from time to time. It's not like the Qing family who makes me easy."
Heart."
Zhao Yun said it happily, but to Han Hong's ears, it was unusual.
Han Hong remembered the scene when Qiao Xingjian and Cheng Ju came to see him. He solemnly raised his hand and said to Zhao Yun, "Your Majesty, I still want to remind you of something I have to say."
"What words?"
"Literati never use a knife to kill people."
The smile on Zhao Yun's face gradually solidified, and he thought about Han Hong's words over and over in his heart.
"Literati kill people without using a knife."
Zhao Yun's eyes became sharp, and an air of coercion appeared involuntarily on his body, which was frightening.
After Han Hong left, Zhao Yun ordered Gao Shi to summon Yu Jie, and soon Yu Jie came.
Yu Jie raised his hand in salute and said, "I have met your Majesty."
Zhao Yun showed a smile on his face, feeling relaxed in a rare moment. He picked up a jade seal in his hand, stamped it on an imperial edict, and then handed it to Yu Jie personally.
Zhao Yun said: "This visit to the Qing family is of great significance, and I am very relieved. I know that your ideal is to be in charge of the government and to cast the cornerstone of the country for our Song Dynasty. I now officially appoint you as the envoy of Sichuan to realize your dream."
ideal."
Yu Jie was excited, raised his hands high, and took the imperial decree from Zhao Yun's hand.
"My lord, thank you for your kindness."
He held the imperial edict in his hand, which was heavy, as heavy as a thousand catties. However, Yu Jie did not feel it was a burden at all. On the contrary, this moment was the most exciting moment for him, and his ambition finally had a platform to display it.
And all of this was due to Zhao Yun's trust. In his heart at this moment, Zhao Yun's status was already extremely high and sacred.
"Sit down at Qing's house. I want to talk to you about Sichuan and Sichuan."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the monarch and his ministers sat down, Zhao Yun said: "The land of Sichuan and Shu is our Great Song Ping Fan. If Sichuan and Shu are lost, Jinghu, Jiangnan and other places will not be protected. How do you want to govern the Qing family?"
Yu Jie has always wanted to be in charge of the government, and the place he most wanted to go to was Sichuan. He had already planned it in his heart.
He said: "Your Majesty, I have a comprehensive consideration of the land of Sichuan and Sichuan. I believe that Mongolia's greatest strength is cavalry assault. Its combat power is invincible in the world. If its cavalry advantage is restricted, even if the Mongolian cavalry reaches Sichuan,
Shu is also of no help. Therefore, I suggest abandoning the flat land and building mountain cities in Sichuan and Shu. Taking advantage of Sichuan and Shu's steep mountains, crisscrossing ravines, and developed rivers, build mountain cities along the river to build a mountain city defense system to resist the Mongols."
Zhao Yun heard that he was serious and said, "The Qing family continues."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yu Jie agreed and continued: "I plan to build more than 20 mountain cities of various sizes along the Jialing River, Qujiang River, Tuojiang River, Minjiang River, and the Yangtze River, combined with the mountain passes on both sides of the river, and at the same time strengthen the old city.
At that time, each city will use each other's waterways to form a defensive posture like a fishnet. In this way, relying on the navy to exploit their strengths and avoid weaknesses, each city can support each other, attack and defend, and advance and retreat freely. Once the Mongolian cavalry is trapped in this place, it will be difficult to do anything."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun stood up, walked to the map of the Song Dynasty hanging on the wall, and looked at it carefully. Yu Jie did not dare to disturb it and waited quietly.
While looking at the territory map, Zhao Yun combined Yu Jie's words and imagined in his mind what would happen if Yu Jie's plan was implemented and Mongolia entered Sichuan.
The more he thought about it, the more Zhao Yun felt that Yu Jie's plan was thorough and appropriate. It could not only limit the advantages of the Mongolian cavalry, but also give full play to its own characteristics to establish a powerful front that could be advanced, attacked, retreated and defended. It was really an ingenious idea, and he was worthy of being a hero.
Ordinary characters.
Zhao Yun turned around and praised Yu Jie: "What the Qing family said is very reasonable. I think it is feasible, but I don't know when the Qing family will be established and how much will it cost?"
Yu Jie thought about it for a while, then raised his hand apologetically and said: "I have never implemented such a plan, and I have never been to Sichuan and Sichuan for on-site inspection, so I cannot answer your Majesty's question. Please forgive me. But please also ask Your Majesty.
Don’t worry, as long as your majesty supports my proposal, I will work tirelessly and do my best to realize this plan as soon as possible.”
Zhao Yun saw that Yu Jie had a strategy but was not exaggerated, and he admired him even more. He really wanted Yu Jie to beat his chest and say that big things can be done in five years, but Zhao Yun would be worried.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Time is not a problem. Just do your best. Money and food are not a problem either. I will fully support you."
After saying that, Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "In this way, we, the emperor and the ministers, will come up with a ten-year plan. Within ten years, you will have full authority to allocate Sichuan's money, food, materials, manpower, material resources, and financial resources at your disposal. I will do it every year
I will allocate another one million yuan to you to build this front. If you can complete the plan in advance, it will be perfect. If ten years is not enough, we will discuss it later."
Zhao Yun's words really gave Yu Jie endless confidence. Yu Jie's face turned red with excitement and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"I thank your Majesty for your trust. I don't know how to repay your Majesty for your kindness."
"Hahaha,,,"
Zhao Yun smiled heartily, waved his hand and said: "The Qing family does not have to be like this. What you and I, the monarchs and ministers are discussing today are all about supporting the Song Dynasty and saving the people of the country. They are all dedicated to serving the public. The moral integrity of the Qing family, I
It’s appreciated.”
After Zhao Yun said this, Yu Jie felt even more that he had to make some achievements to repay Zhao Yun, otherwise, he would have no face to see Zhao Yun.
Then Zhao Yun thought of the affairs of the Xixia soldiers and civilians again, Zhao Yun said: "How do you plan to arrange the 110,000 soldiers and civilians in the Xia Dynasty?"
Of course, Yu Jie had already thought about it. He said: "Your Majesty, I plan to place these people in the newly built mountain city. One thousand Song people will be placed in one hundred Xia people, and ten thousand Song people will be placed in one thousand people."
The Xia people's method was to break them into parts, so that after three generations, they will be no different from the Song people."
