Han Hong glanced at Zhao Yun subconsciously, then lowered his head, feeling aggrieved. Didn't you let me die? But it was hard to say this.
When Han Chengfu saw that his father was silent, he couldn't control that much and said directly: "Your Majesty, you rewarded my father with four grapefruits. My father thought that you meant the same thing. Ding You, you wanted to give it to my father to death, so my father sought death."
"What, four grapefruits?"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gao Shi and said in a cold tone: "Gao Shi, what's going on?"
Only then did Gao Shi realize that he had made a big mistake. He was trembling with fear and knelt on the ground.
"The little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die. The little one gave a grapefruit to his old friend on the road. At that time, the little one was absent-minded and did not think deeply about it. The little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die."
Everyone suddenly realized that five grapefruits meant worry-free, while four grapefruits meant a completely different meaning. Just this negligence almost killed a prince.
"Publish my decree and Gao Shi will be dismissed from his post and sent to jail for questioning."
Gao Shi did not dare to plead for himself, but was filled with tears. He was too ashamed to look at Zhao Yun, and allowed the guards to pull him down to punish him.
In Yongzhou, the 80,000-strong expeditionary army of the Song Dynasty is gathering. Every day, troops will come to join. The soldiers are all excited. When they mention Ziqi Kingdom, they gnash their teeth and dare to kill the envoy. This is simply the same as killing an official.
Everyone can't wait to stop fighting.
The mood of the soldiers and civilians in Yongzhou City was also high. Every day, under the leadership of fellow tribesmen, common people would bring pork, mutton, wine and meat to the military camp, add meals to the soldiers, express their feelings, and hope that the soldiers would fight bravely to kill the enemy.
On this day, people came to offer wine and meat again. Bi Chong came to express his gratitude, but he did not accept the food or wine.
Bi Chongzhi looked at the people, raised his hands and said: "Folks, your intentions are known to me, and so are the soldiers. We have accepted this favor, but please take back the pigs, muttons, wine and meat. It will not be easy for you either.
How dare we ask for your food? The officials and the court have allocated enough money and food. We will not be short of food. Please rest assured."
When the people saw that Bi Chongyi was upright, calm and resolute, he looked like a veteran on the battlefield, and they became more confident in fighting.
Moreover, Bi Chongzhi did not even want the wine and meat brought to his door. Compared with many generals who resorted to plunder and plunder, this was even more noble.
The people praised Bi Chongzhi's noble character and encouraged Bi Chongzhi and his soldiers to kill the thieves bravely, and finally left with food and wine.
After the soldiers left, Bi Chongzhi summoned the soldiers in the tent. At the same time, an old man who was good at divination was also present.
The old man who divined was named Lu Ci. He was over sixty years old. He relied on divination and Feng Shui calculations to make a living. He was a well-known divination master. When Bi Chongzhi came to Yongzhou this time, the prefect Gu Chun recommended him to Bi Chongzhi.
, let him follow the army in divination to avoid disasters.
Bi Chongzhi and the generals studied the marching route, and the generals had no objections. Bi Chongzhi walked up to Lu Ci, showed great respect to him, raised his hand and said: "Sir, our army of 80,000 troops has been assembled, and the expedition is about to begin.
Please also ask sir to divine the auspicious time so that we can send troops to attack."
Lu Ci raised his hand to return the salute and said, "General, please wait a moment."
After that, Lu Ci walked out of the tent, lit three sticks of incense, and put them on the incense burner. He then sat in front of the incense burner, closed his eyes tightly, and muttered something in his mouth, but it was unclear what he was saying.
After reading for a while, Lu Ci took out a turtle shell with three Han Dynasty copper coins inside, and then shook it. Finally, Lu Ci looked at the direction of the three copper coins, made some calculations, and said to Bi Chongzhi: "General, the will of heaven is
, this battle is going well, the army can set out tomorrow."
Bi Chongzhi was overjoyed and thanked him sincerely, saying: "When the army returns from the Qi Kingdom in triumph, I will definitely build a temple for you to repay your kindness."
After saying that, Bi Chongzhi waved his big hand and ordered: "Generals, listen to the order and set out for battle tomorrow."
"The last general takes orders."
The generals responded to the mountain call with momentum like a rainbow.
In the early morning of the next day, the army began to prepare early, and everyone was in high spirits. In the end, they only waited for Bi Chongzhi to order the army to set off.
However, at this moment, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed suddenly, and a touch of blue and black suddenly appeared in the originally blue sky, and disappeared again in about half the time of burning the incense.
Many soldiers were unaware of this scene, but Lu Ci, as a fortune teller, attached great importance to this expedition and was always paying attention to the weather and wind direction.
He suddenly saw this change in the sky, his face changed drastically, and he immediately performed divination again, but the result was a very bad omen!
Lu Ci was shocked and hurried to find Bi Chongzhi.
At this time, Bi Chongzhi was already riding a horse, surrounded by generals, and was about to give the order to set off.
"General, wait a minute."
Lu Ci quickly walked up to Bi Chong's horse and said: "General, the sky has changed drastically, and the expedition has become a big disaster. I ask the general to cancel the expedition order."
As soon as Lu Ci said these words, all the generals nearby were surprised, with a look of panic on their faces.
The ancients believed in divination very much, and Lu Ci's words undoubtedly greatly affected their confidence.
Bi Chongzhi looked serious and asked: "When will the conquest be completed?"
Lu Ci said: "The celestial phenomena are very strange. They conflict with the expedition. I think it will not be suitable for the expedition within three months. As for when it will change, we still need to see what the celestial phenomena will be in three months."
After Bi Chongzhi heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes became firm and fierce.
Bi Chongzhi suddenly drew his knife, pointed at Lu Ci, and said: "You are a bold thief who dares to shake the morale of the army. How can I spare you?"

After that, Bi Chongzhi swung his sword and killed Lu Ci with one blow. The blood splashed on the general's flag, which was particularly bright.
Then Bi Chongzhi loudly said to everyone: "This expedition is carried out under the orders of the officials. We inherit the mandate of heaven and respond to the people's support. With God's blessing, we will definitely return in triumph. Anyone who dares to disturb the morale of our army will be killed without mercy."
, the family sits together.”
Bi Chongzhi's words struck the hearts of the soldiers like a heavy hammer, making them all afraid of being timid.
Then Bi Chongzhi raised his sword high, pointed his finger in the sky, and said loudly: "In this expedition, we will fight hard to kill the enemy regardless of life and death. In the name of loyalty and righteousness, all the officers and soldiers will obey the order and set off."
"Yes, we will obey the general's order."
The 80,000 soldiers shouted in response, and the sound formed a wave, which scared the birds for miles around and flew up in fear, and they did not dare to land for a long time.
The army marched for seven days and entered the territory of Ziqi Kingdom, but the army of Ziqi Kingdom was never seen, not even a shadow. An ominous premonition gradually arose in Bi Chongzhi's heart.
But now he had no way out, he could only move forward.
Secretly, spies from the Qi Kingdom reported the situation of the Song army to the leader of the country, Amo.
Although there are many tribes in Qi State who are in charge of their own affairs, Amo is the leader of the country and their supreme leader. At this time, the Song Dynasty is coming fiercely and obviously wants to destroy their country. No matter what their considerations are, they must
