However, just as Zhao Yun was immersed in the joy of having a son, Yongzhou, thousands of miles away, was in shock and joy.
It was dawn that day, and Bi Nian took his soldiers for morning jogging training as usual. A soldier suddenly stiffened and was hit by the soldier in front of him, and fell to the ground hard.
Bi Nian was furious, walked up to the soldier, and said angrily: "Have you lost your soul? You can't even run well. Do you want to get slapped with a military stick?"
Xiao Bing turned a deaf ear to Bi Nian's words, pointed to a small tree behind Bi Nian, and stammered: "Open,, open,, bloom, bloom."
Bi Nian, as well as all the soldiers, were stunned, and then they realized what they were doing. They hurriedly looked at the small tree. When they saw it, tears filled their eyes. The tree was planted by Zhao Yun himself.
, it really bloomed!
Bi Nian excitedly pulled out his sword, held it high and shouted loudly: "The trees planted by the officials are blooming, they are blooming."
More and more people started shouting loudly, and suddenly the military camp became agitated. Everyone was surrounding the tree, shouting and crying hysterically.
When the Song Dynasty conquered Ziqi State, the army was unfortunately defeated. The general Bi Chongzhi could not accept the result of tens of thousands of soldiers being defeated and killed, and he felt that he had no shame in living. In the end, he took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of cutting off the rear of the army and died heroically.
Sixty thousand soldiers of the Song Dynasty died in this battle. Zhao Yun personally came to Yongzhou to visit Bi Nian and others. At that time, all the soldiers knelt down and begged Zhao Yun to send troops again. They wanted to avenge their previous humiliation.
However, Zhao Yun did not agree immediately. Instead, he planted a tree with his own hands and said, "When this sapling blooms, it will be the day when our Song Dynasty will send troops again from Qi State. Please wait patiently."
Keep your sword ready and unsheathed.”
Bi Nian, Zhang Biqing, Chen Batian, Chen Fang, Duan Zhi, Chen Kexi, Jia Zhu and other 20,000 soldiers camped next to this small tree, guarding it day and night. They thought about it every day, hoping that this tree would bloom soon.
Now, they finally got it.
Bi Nian said to the messenger: "The messenger, hurry up and report to the officials."
"Yes, General."
The ordering soldiers responded loudly, then mounted their fast horses and galloped towards Lin'an.
Lin'an, Privy Council.
When Han Hong received the news from Bi Nian, his face was full of sorrow. He didn't expect this moment to come. He recalled how majestic it was when the 80,000-strong army attacked Ziqi State. However, now, even if it is him, Han Hong,
I don’t know how to face it anymore.
With many worries on his mind, Han Hong came to Funing Hall to pay homage to Zhao Yun.
Han Hong raised his hand to salute, and then said: "Your Majesty, Bi Nian sent news that the tree that your Majesty planted with your own hands has blossomed."
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then calmly said: "Now that it has bloomed, let's start the war."
Han Hong looked at Zhao Yun and saw that Zhao Yun's eyes were firm and his tone was firm, which was obviously unquestionable and unchangeable, so he asked: "I wonder who your Majesty wants to appoint as the commander-in-chief of the army?"
Zhao Yun picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "Meng Gong."
Han Hong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, although Ziqi is a small country, it has already shown great strength in the previous war. The Mongolian Communist Party is young and has relatively few qualifications. I am afraid that it will not be qualified for the position of commander in chief of the army. Your Majesty, please think again."
"
Zhao Yun resolutely said: "I have been thinking about it for a while. I had already made this decision when the army was defeated. I know the concerns of the Qing family. However, the Qing family needs to know that although Qi State is short and powerful, I
The men of the Song Dynasty were even more ambitious to reach the sky.
Moreover, Meng Gong is an unprecedented general, and his future achievements will be comparable to those of famous generals in ancient times. I am very confident about this."
After Zhao Yun said this, Han Hong naturally couldn't say anything else. He could only hope that Meng Gong was really capable and would not betray Zhao Yun's trust in him.
Zhao Yun immediately said: "Publish my decree and summon Meng Gong to see you."
Half a month later, a cavalry team of more than ten people appeared on the streets of Lin'an City. Everyone was tired, but their eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look directly at them, especially the leader who was so heroic.
Yes, this person is in the Mongolian Communist Party.
The group of people entered Lin'an City, and then slowed down and walked slowly on the streets.
Lieutenant General Liu Yi said: "General, the officials suddenly summoned me, but I don't know why? Is it possible that they want to go to the Northern Expedition?"
Meng Gong looked straight ahead, with majesty all over his body. Meng Gong said: "Liu Yi, please remember that as a minister, you must not guess the emperor's thoughts. This is disrespectful and is a way to die. Although officials are
Benevolence and righteousness means not killing indiscriminately, but as ministers, we should be more careful in our words and deeds, so that we can live up to the expectations of the officials."
"Yes, General, Liu Yi understands."
Liu Yi felt that she had made a mistake, nodded in agreement, and stopped talking.
When Meng Gong came to stay at the post house, bathed and changed clothes, he then went to the palace alone to pay homage to Zhao Yun.
"Hehehe, Meng Cong is here, so fast."
Zhao Yun was overjoyed to learn that Meng Cong had been summoned and could not help but smile. Then he stood up and met him in the main hall of Funing Palace.
When Meng Gong saw Zhao Yun, he was immediately excited, and his eyes turned red uncontrollably.
Meng Gong raised his hand and said: "I, Meng Gong, have met Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun raised his hand to support him, and said with a smile: "Without courtesy, please let me take a look."
Hearing this, Meng Gong raised his head to let Zhao Yun watch.
Zhao Yun looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Although the Qing family has become darker and thinner, their energy and spirit are better than before. It can be seen that although the Qing family has a hard time in Sichuan and Shu, everything they do is done with care."
The longing and the belonging of the mind, so the pain that is not felt, the spirit is better, yes or no?"
The Communist Party of Meng was moved and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's words are true. My dream is to expedition to my homeland in the north and defend the border for the country. Now your Majesty has ordered me to slowly implement the reform of the new army in Sichuan and Sichuan, eliminate the old and weak, and train the young and strong."
, so that the Sichuan and Sichuan armies could unknowingly complete the changes and greatly increase their combat effectiveness. This is not only your majesty’s grand plan, but also my wish. Therefore, although I work hard, I don’t feel the pain.”
Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction and praised: "The Qing family has indeed lived up to my expectations. The world has become more and more wary. Although our Song Dynasty seems to be peaceful now, we are always facing violent storms. The Qing family is like this
The ministers of bone and humerus help me, so what do I have to fear?"
The Meng Communist Party quickly raised their hands and said: "Your Majesty praises you so much, I am ashamed to accept it."
"The Qing family is still used to working with Yu Jie in Sichuan and Sichuan?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Yu Jie is devoted to his work, regardless of personal gains and losses. He has the style of a national scholar. I am very happy to work with him and benefit a lot. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"Hahaha,,, this is very good. If you and he are both civil and military, Sichuan and Sichuan will prosper."
