It is said that the southern section of Helan Mountain is gentle and flat while the northern section is higher. It is not only the highest peak in the western part of the Song Dynasty. But based on the knowledge from his previous life and the introduction of local elders, Zhao Jiu knew that this north-south mountain is naturally a combination of grassland and desert.
The dividing line is the semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area in the east, and the pure pastoral area in the west.
Therefore, the military stronghold that Yue Fei chose that year was really good. The obstruction of the mountains not only weakened the eastward attack of the northwest alpine airflow, prevented the moist southeast monsoon from moving westward, but also curbed the eastward movement of the desert. The local climate was relatively suitable for human activities.
Moreover, the terrain in this area is relatively flat, making it convenient for Zhao Guan's family to build a fifteen-foot-square competition venue.
The ancients emphasized that emperors should sit facing the south. They were not lax in front of their international friends, Zhao Guan's family. They sat in the right position with the best view. Yang Yizhong stood behind him as usual, and the princess sat beside her father. A little further away were Tuoli and Anba.
The rest of the people sat farther away according to their rank. Everyone could see the majestic mountains in the distance, with overlapping peaks, and the mighty and majestic figures of the soldiers up close.
Because it was the first time in history, everyone came in a hurry. There was definitely no goose-stepping performance, and they didn’t even wear uniforms. They were all wearing armors from various armies. However, everyone was still in high spirits. Han Shizhong, who was in the lead, was very heroic, riding a tall horse, and he was in great shape.
Wearing purple gold armor and a shining jade belt, Wang Shixiong held up the "Unparalleled in the World" banner beside him, and the warriors behind him all wore copper masks, showing great majesty.
Although people from all over the world have heard of the name of the waist and courage, but when they saw it in person today, they felt that this man had an extraordinary character, his eyes were like lightning, and he was surrounded by a heroic spirit that could not be concealed. Although he was a little older, there was no trace of twilight.
Duan was in awe of gods and ghosts, an unparalleled figure in the world. He was secretly speechless but also fearful in his heart.
Later, Guo Hao, Li Qiong and Li Shifu came in under their own banners, and their generals were all dressed in chainmail, so they looked like extravagant heroes. However, when compared to King Han and Qin, they were still far behind, which made me feel a little unhappy.
I had no choice but to endure it. I could only comfort myself. The front army of the imperial camp was even more shabby. There were only three or two kittens. Li Kui, the most powerful official, was only a deputy commander. As for Guo Jin, Yang Zaixing, and Yue Yun, although they were brave and high-spirited, they didn't have many brave men.
A noble man? You still have the nerve to call him a handsome minister!
As for the Imperial Banzhi, it was Liu Yan who led the entrance. Although there was no banner, everyone maintained their respect. The reason is self-evident.
After the inspection, according to the design of Zhao Guanjia, it should be the group stage. The winners can participate in the finals, and then the top three will be selected and awarded gold, silver and bronze medals. Everyone didn't know why and thought he wanted to show off the Jurchen's gold medal, ten thousand households, silver medals and fierce security system.
It has turned into floating powder.
The first event was archery, but just one afternoon, knowledgeable people realized that something was wrong. Veterans who have survived through hundreds of battles, where are you setting up an immovable target? If you don’t hit ten rings, you will be sorry for your experience.
There was a hail of bullets and the souls of his subordinates. Zhao Guanjia was dumbfounded, how interesting is this, and there was no way to choose the final group!
The next day, there was an emergency revision. Everyone stopped shooting at the target. It was May in the world and the willow trees were weeping. The contestants rode on horseback and shot five willows from a hundred paces away. The ones who hit the most were selected.
What needs to be mentioned is that the wind and sand in this place are not small. The willow branches are fluttering, and the real skills are revealed. The Banqi of the Royal Camp Cavalry grew up on a horse. That is not a big difference from others.
Especially Li Shifu, who was able to shoot Wanyan Lou's armpit in those days. Not only did he hit all of them, but he also hit two willow branches with one arrow. The ladies on the periphery were not as shy as those in Zhongyuan and couldn't stop looking at them.
He applauded, and if it weren't for the presence of officials and other important people, he would have thrown embroidered balls and smashed the sachet to him.
Of course, there is no use throwing the hydrangea. When General Li failed to pursue the second wife of the Xing family, Queen Xianjie's sister, Zhao Bufan acted as a matchmaker and married Pan, the daughter of Princess Wu. The child is several years old. Princess Wu
She is the daughter of Zhezong, cousin Zhao Jiu. Although she also has the problem of seeking official posts for her consort, her consort Pan Zhengfu is a member of the New Party and is very talented. He is now the governor of Yuzhou. He is considered a relatively powerful relative. Xiao Li is from the party.
In terms of status, this marriage is pretty good.
Therefore, the gold and silver medals in this competition were all taken by the cavalry. Only the bronze medal was narrowly won by Wang Xi, a long-time divine arm bow commander in the rear army.
Don't get me wrong, Zhao Guan's family has not even forgotten the principle of using the same equipment. It's just that people have been practicing for a lifetime, and those who mature early cannot become more mature.
So according to the procedure, Zhao Guanjia and the two strategic envoys awarded awards to the first, second and third place respectively. Not only were they given cards, but they also received real bonuses.
However, after the competition was completed the next day, all the armies became more energetic, and the onlookers were very happy to watch. However, the guests from all over the world had their own thoughts.
The event on the third day was long-distance running. After all, long-distance running on the battlefield is also very important. This time the participants all changed to short-distance running. Otherwise, whoever wears this armor for long-distance running would be a fool. But Princess Shenyou went to draw a picture of shooting willows.
Tuoli was able to get close to Zhao Guan's family. After offering his loyalty, he couldn't help but said: "Who do you think the official family can win?"
Zhao Guanjia looked at the people below him and said sincerely: "I am not a god, how can I predict the future? What is King Khan's advice?"
Tuoli hurriedly said: "The official's words are serious, what knowledge do I have? I just look at it with envy. I wonder if it can be held next time, can I, Simon Gurlang, be included?"
My Bahai Khan also said hurriedly: "Guan Jian Mingjian, our Eastern Mongolian warriors are also willing to perform wrestling and horsemanship for you."
Zhao Guanjia laughed, and then said seriously: "I am doing this to motivate the soldiers, not to think that I am inferior to others, but also to tell the Song Dynasty that if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Why are you still calling it a sideshow? It's strange."
Although he didn't get angry, he was not angry. The two Khans stood up to accuse him and did not dare to say anything anymore. This only made Hu Hongxiu, who had followed Zhao Guan's family the whole time, twitch his mouth. "Guan, if you don't do so many tricks, I might
I just believed it.
Yes, you want to improve the self-confidence of the army, but with so many stalls and tricks in the competition, it is very different from a military parade.
But while everyone was talking, the group stage had come to an end. I really didn't expect that this time it was the imperial squad who stole the show. Zhai Laojiu ran wildly and lost a lot of distance. In the end, he was defeated by Dai Zong, a former army general.
Easily defeated in the 500-meter long-distance race.
That man was also magical. He raised his legs and started to run. There was a rush of wind and clouds under his feet, as if someone was pushing his feet underneath. He easily passed all the players beside him, and it felt like the wind was blowing by him.
This name attracted the attention of Zhao Guan's family. He could only be glad that he hadn't finished writing "Water Margin" yet. When he asked someone about it, he found that Dai Zong was a middle-aged man, lean but not tall, and he had never been to the Yangtze River.
When an official from the state inquired about it, he didn't know the reason but had to answer: "Good instructors know that I am from Yishui. I also studied in Mount Tai when I was young. Unfortunately, my master said that my secular heart is not pure and I will not be able to achieve greatness."
He was also afraid that I would not be able to starve to death, so he taught me this method and ordered my ministers to go down the mountain. Later, I wanted to work in the Yamen, but I encountered a big chaos, so I followed Vice Commander Li, and later served in the front army. Sometimes the marshal told me
The letter should also be addressed to the minister, but you are not allowed to boast wildly." But the official family is bigger than the marshal, so I have to tell the truth.
"But is it really possible to travel eight hundred miles a day?" Zhao Jiu's interest continued unabated.
Dai Zong hurriedly said, "I can't do what I can't do in the official family. I have tried it myself. Walking three or four hundred miles a day is already the best. Moreover, I need to eat vegetarian food for three days before I can use this method. I don't believe it in the official family."
Some people are exaggerating." It must be Yang Zaixing who is bragging again.
Although Zhao Guan's family did not believe in Buddhism, they still knew that there were indeed experts. They said happily: "The former army is really full of talents. Your ability cannot be ignored. In addition to awarding prizes, I will also give you a nickname, called 'God'."
If you act as a Taibao, your hard work will not be in vain, how about it?"
Dai Zongwan never expected how much the officials valued him. He was so happy that he kowtowed repeatedly, but it was Li Kui who reminded him bitterly that he thanked him. Then there was another lively award ceremony.
After the first three days of warm-up, the highlight of the fourth day was finally coming, which was "close combat", and the atmosphere reached a climax.
All the armies are gearing up and have a strong fighting spirit. Even Zhao Guan's family is looking forward to it. After all, as a soldier, the best way is to be able to fight.
Who told you that military building is not important in peacetime!
----Boundary line of small theater-----
The TV series can achieve such a great success not only thanks to our creative team, especially Editor Liu's script and the wonderful performances of all the teachers. It also surprised me. I thought that the best era of historical dramas had passed, but I didn't expect the new generation of viewers.
I still agree with the narrative style of this drama. It seems that in the face of big waves, TV drama producers still have to do their job well.
Some time ago, someone asked Mr. Liu Pinghe who was the most difficult to shape. He replied that it was Yang Yizhong, and my opinion was always the same. This general was willing to protect Song Shizu for forty years for the sake of "the hatred of the country and the family."
The sharp blade in the hand and the shadow behind him almost made it into "The Legend of the Traitor". Here, I also thank the actors who played the young and old actors for their expressiveness. At that time, the jealousy of Han Shizhong's jade belt was vividly portrayed by Zheng Yecheng's eyes.
When he entered middle age, Teacher Liu Jun already scolded the traitors with the same expression as before, and every word and deed was for Song Shizu. His luck was that Zhao Jiu always regarded him as a confidant, and could only confide his feelings to him, but the sacrifice was lost.
An opportunity to make great achievements. But does he regret it? I believe that the words he said on his death bed: "I can't bear to be an official, what can you do!" are the best answers.
Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have always been like this.
In the second year after Yang Yizhong's death, Emperor Shizu of the Song Dynasty formally ceded his throne to the crown prince. Perhaps he became a real loner and no longer had such nostalgia for all things in the world. He looked at the setting sun and teased his granddaughter, answering questions that were wrong, and his ambition was already poured into the vastness.
Earth, no regrets.
After the death of Shizu, he was buried in Yongsi Mausoleum. The posthumous edict was Lu Haowen, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong were buried with him. Others were just buried in a burial mound, while Yang Yizhong was buried directly beside the main mausoleum.
