In this way, Zhao Yun agreed to cede Lin'an to Ziqi State. Although everyone knew that ceding was equivalent to not ceding, it also gave Kasha a step forward.
Kasha got off his donkey along the slope and allowed Xia You to take back the bones of 60,000 Song soldiers.
Then, under the supervision of Qi State, Xia You went to Amen Mountain and the Song army's evacuation route, collecting the bones of the Song army who died in the battle along the way.
At this time, almost two months had passed since the war. These bones had already been buried in the soil and began to rot. There was no way to identify who was who.
Only generals like Bi Chongzhi, Quan Zicai, Wang Dou, and Er Dongcheng had distinctive armors on their bodies. People from Qi State knew that these people had special status, so they kept them separately, and also had people identify and write down these people.
identity of.
Because there are so many people, as many as 60,000, and the Han family has always attached great importance to mourning and honoring after death, and attaches great importance to the dignity of the deceased, any disrespectful behavior towards the deceased is unacceptable.
With so many corpses, how to escort them back became a big problem. Xia You didn't dare to be good at it, so he sent someone to ask Zhao Yun for instructions.
Zhao Yun was silent for a while, and then said: "Every soldier, regardless of status, must be buried in a coffin and sent back to the Song Dynasty. The coffin can be simple, but it cannot be without it."
According to Zhao Yun's order, Yongzhou and surrounding prefectures and counties immediately started moving. All soldiers, craftsmen, and civilians began to cut down trees, make coffins, and then have them transported.
Of course, Kasha was cautious, fearing that the Song army would disguise themselves as civilians and enter the country of Qi. If this happened, the country of Qi would be caught off guard.
To prevent unexpected events, Kasha personally inspected the border line. Only civilians could enter and leave the Song Army to escort the coffin from Qi State, and they were not allowed to carry weapons. Soldiers were absolutely not allowed to enter.
Zhao Yun did not refuse these requests and behaved extremely calmly and calmly.
Zhao Yun just ordered the people to send the coffins to Ziqi State as soon as possible, bury the bones of the Song army one by one, and then transport them back to Yongzhou.
On this day, Zhao Yun, accompanied by Gu Chun, the magistrate of Yongzhou, came to a mountain.
Zhao Yun stood at the bottom of the mountain and looked up. He saw that the mountain was majestic, tall and lush. Its shape was like a giant tiger lying on the ground, which was very majestic.
Zhao Yun asked: "What kind of mountain is this?"
Gu Chun raised his hand and replied: "Your Majesty, this mountain is called Tiger Mountain. It got its name because its shape resembles a ferocious tiger. It is a famous mountain nearby."
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "This mountain will be called General Mountain from now on. The bones of the 60,000 soldiers who died in Qi State during this expedition are buried on this mountain. The state government will be responsible for their care. They must maintain dignity."
Be solemn, if you fail to protect yourself, you will be directly charged with the crime and the state will be informed."
Gu Chun's heart trembled, and then he raised his hand solemnly and said: "This is your Majesty, please rest assured, I will order a department to handle this matter."
Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction, and then Zhao Yun said to Jiang Wanli who was accompanying him: "I have sent an order to return to Lin'an. This time Bi Chongzhi led the army on an expedition and died for his country. His loyalty and bravery are commendable, and his heart can be expressed. I am selected to join."
A heroic policy that can be praised by all people and admired by the world."
At this time, Zhao Yun was implementing the compulsory teaching method. In addition to allowing all children to study for free, the biggest change was that children no longer only read the Four Books and Five Classics, the words of saints, but also added the book Heroes' Strategies, which included many people who served the country loyally.
Loyalty and bravery themes are included.
Heroes has written in it one after another people in history who fought hard for the country and were not afraid of life and death, for children to read and worship.
Currently, this hero strategy includes Sima Cuo, Wang Jian, Li Mu in the Warring States Period, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Chen Tang, Ban Chao in the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms Period, Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty.
, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Yue Fei and others in the Song Dynasty.
For a period of time, the officials had a lot of controversy over the selection of Yue Fei, because Yue Fei was murdered by Song Gaozong Zhao Gou and Qin Hui. If Yue Fei was chosen to be included in the heroic strategy, it would embarrass Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.
In the end, it was Zhao Yun who overcame all opinions and silenced the opponents with just one sentence.
Zhao Yun said: "If Yue Fei is not qualified to join the hero policy, then wouldn't the four words "loyalty to serve the country" have to be rewritten?"
Although Yue Fei's death at the hands of Song Gaozong and Qin Hui was controversial among officials, there is no doubt that Yue Fei was a person. His love for his country and his loyalty to the people were unquestionable.
, and remained unchanged throughout his life, it can be said that Yue Fei is the best interpretation of the four words "loyalty to serve the country".
Finally, with Zhao Yun's insistence, Yue Fei was successfully selected.
It can be seen from the list of selected heroes that almost all of them are military generals, with very few civil servants. This was actually done intentionally by Zhao Yun, in order to indicate that in the near future, the Song Dynasty will enter a period dominated by military generals.
An era of frequent wars.
In this era, generals mainly rely on military generals for support, so Zhao Yun deliberately made the characters in Heroes of Heroes all military generals to encourage aspiring men to join the army and serve the country.
In troubled times, you look to the generals, and in peace, you look to the prime minister. Zhao Yun deeply believed in this. Therefore, in the upcoming most intense battle between the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Zhao Yun must greatly elevate the status of military generals, encourage the people to actively join the army, shape their will, and
Get through this biggest difficulty.
As for the future, wait until the world is relatively peaceful, and then add some civil servants to the heroic strategy to achieve a balance between civil and military affairs and encourage the prosperity and development of the country.
And now, by allowing Bi Chongzhi to be selected as a hero, it can be said that Zhao Yun is using his actual actions to give the soldiers of this expedition the highest respect.
Zhao Yun did not deliberately conceal this decree, and the news spread quickly. When Bi Nian, Chen Batian, Zhang Biqing and other generals learned about it, they were greatly shocked. They all came to Zhao Yun with tears in their eyes and kept thanking the saint.
Zhao Yun stood up, walked in front of the generals, and raised his hand to signal the generals to get up.
Zhao Yun looked at the generals and said: "Remember, you are generals. You only need to lead the troops to fight. There is no need to worry about other things. Even if the sky falls, I will support you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The generals were moved and looked at Zhao Yun, their eyes already wet with tears.
After the generals retreated, Zhao Yun's expression changed, and he became a little regretful. This time he sent troops to conquer Qi State, which brought Zhao Yun the biggest revelation, that is, in the past, Zhao Yun only believed that as long as the generals did not commit major crimes,
Wrong, if soldiers dare to fight to the death, then the battle can be won if the troops are not weak.
And the first half of this war was indeed as Zhao Yun imagined. Bi Chongzhi fought very well and made no mistakes. Every step and every order was correct.
And the soldiers below, Bi Nian, Chen Batian, Wang Dou, Quan Zicai, and the 80,000 soldiers under their command, they are also brave enough to fight and are not afraid of death.
