Chapter 313: Caught someone revealing himself and saved Liu Yanqing
Brother Richard's physique is really good. He was so seriously injured in the Chinese army's tent, and the imperial doctor simply bandaged the wound, and it only took less than an hour for him to wake up.
At this time, Brother Richard was tied to a wooden stake, and his mouth was still filled with linen balls used to stop bleeding. He stared angrily at the family of Emperor Zhao Guan of the Song Dynasty who led his ministers to see him.
"Haha..." Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Brother Richard, I can see your thoughts clearly. After you were captured, you wanted to die to save your family in the capital of Xia Kingdom. I still admire this.
You are a man. However, before you die, you still want to harm me and my loyal ministers and generals, then you underestimate my IQ!"
Although the civil servants and generals present did not understand the specific meaning of "IQ", they could guess that "IQ" might mean wisdom after examining Zhao Guanjia's semantics.
Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, who had been framed by Brother Richard before, especially admired Zhao Guanjia's IQ. In their hearts, they not only admired Zhao Guanjia, but also felt grateful.
Brother Richard, on the other hand, was extremely angry.
"Brother Richard, I tell you that your wishful thinking has failed. Not only will I not execute you immediately, I will also tie you to a high place in the chariot. Whenever the Song and Xia armies fight, I will push you to the formation."
Now, let me show you Xixia soldiers that Brother Richard, the famous God of War in the Great Xia Kingdom, has been captured by our Song army. Do they still dare to resist the King of the Great Song Dynasty?"
All the generals expressed their agreement:
"The official sage!"
"What the officials say is true. Using the captive Jin King Richard, who has made great achievements in the Xixia war, to show off in front of the Xixia soldiers will definitely destroy the morale of the enemy. It can even defeat the enemy without fighting..."
"Ahhhhh..." If Brother Richard hadn't been gagged, he would have cursed the Song Emperor Dog Emperor for torturing him like this. If he hadn't been tied to a wooden stake, he would have
He must use all his strength to rush forward and kill this dog emperor.
However, Brother Richard now intends to kill Zhao Gou, but he is unable to save his life.’
He is extremely desperate!
He somewhat regretted that the poisonous plan he had planned before his death to murder the Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty and frame Han Shizhong and Yue Fei was a childish move that could not be completed in the end. The plan failed, but it made himself worse!
Zhao Ji waved his hand and said: "According to what was discussed in the tent, Yue Pengju led his troops to escort Brother Richard to the enemy city for a parade. Han Liangchen led his troops to cover in case the Xia army came out of the city to rob Brother Richard."
"The humble minister Yue Fei obeys the order."
"The humble minister Han Shizhong obeys the decree."
Liu Guangshi saw that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were doing a good job! Taking Brother Richard to march in front of the enemy city would not only show their prestige among the three armies of the Song Dynasty, but if the enemy army really came out of the city to capture Brother Richard, what would happen now?
Even though our enemy is strong and weak, we can still make great achievements in battle!
"Wei Chen Guangshi Memorial."
"Uncle Ping, please speak."
Liu Guangshi felt warm in his heart when he heard Zhao Guanjia calling him by name so affectionately.
"There are three hundred Dangxiang cavalry in the Weichen Guangshi Army. They are proficient in Dangxiang language and Chinese. Now, the officials ordered Liangchen and Pengju to escort Brother Richard to the enemy city for a parade, and only shouted Chinese to the Xia army in the city. They
The Dangxiang soldiers in it may not be able to understand. Therefore, the three hundred Dangxiang cavalry in Weichen Guangshi's army come in handy."
Liu Guangshi was worried that Zhao Guan's family would not trust his three hundred subordinates, so he immediately explained:
"The officials can rest assured. The three hundred party members under Wei Chen Guangshi surrendered to our Song Dynasty as early as five years ago, and they have already reported it to the court. Moreover, their families and children are all in our Song Dynasty.
"Three years ago, during the great war between Song and Xia, they showed no mercy in killing Xia troops in battle, so officials can feel free to use them."
Zhao Ji nodded and said: "That's very good. Uncle Ping, I order you to lead the three hundred generals of our party to assist Yue Pengju and Han Liangchen and escort Brother Richard to a parade outside the enemy city!"
"My humble minister Guangshi obeys the decree, thank you Lord for your kindness!" Liu Guangshi accepted the decree happily.
When Liu Yanqing saw that his beloved son Liu Guangshi got this good job, he was also very happy in his heart.
Zhao Ji suddenly said: "Uncle Ping, when you return to the camp to take the three hundred party soldiers, I will go with you and inspect your military camp."
These words from Zhao Guan's family made Liu Yanqing a little worried.
However, Zhao Guan's family suddenly wanted to inspect Liu Yanqing's camp, and he did not dare to stop him.
…
Liu Yanqing's 20,000 elite troops were stationed outside the North City of Xiping Prefecture in Xijing, and together with several other northwest armies, they surrounded Xiping Prefecture.
Its tribe was only four or five miles away from the Yaogu tribe where meetings were held now.
Under the protection of 300 imperial city officials and accompanied by Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi, Zhao Ji went directly to Liu Yanqing's department.
Zhao Ji ordered Liu Yanqing in advance not to notify the emperor to visit his department, but only to conduct a surprise inspection on his department.
…
Zhao Ji conducted a surprise inspection at Liu Yanqing's camp for most of half an hour...
As a result, Zhao Ji caught many generals and soldiers in Liu Yanqing's department. Some were drinking in the camp, some were gambling, and some took off their upper bodies to sleep...
In short, Zhao Ji saw that many soldiers and generals under Liu Yanqing's command were undisciplined, like a pile of loose sand...
…
At this time, Liu Yanqing's Chinese army tent was almost full of people kneeling on their knees, ranging from junior high school to generals, a total of more than 130 people.
They were all caught trembling with fear when they were caught violating military discipline by Zhao Guan's house who suddenly visited them.
Kneeling at the front of these people was Liu Yanqing, the envoy of the Baoxin Army and the commander of the Ma Army. He shivered and said:
"The humble minister Yanqing, who is not strict in running the army, deserves death..."
Zhao Ji pointed at Liu Yanqing's nose and cursed:
"Liu Yanqing, I'm sorry to hear that you are not strict in your military management. The last time I inspected your army, you may have gotten wind of it in advance. Therefore, although your army was not in good shape last time, I didn't let me discover that the most senior members of your army were not in good shape.
From generals to soldiers, there are many violations of military discipline."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Humph!" Zhao Ji yelled angrily: "Liu Yanqing, as the commander-in-chief of the army, the army he led was so disorganized that it was not as good as the bandits.
!”
"The humble minister Yanqing is not strict in running the army, and his crime deserves death. I ask the officials to give my soldiers a chance to make meritorious service..."
In fact, the time traveler Zhao Ji had psychological expectations about the lack of military discipline in Liu Yanqing's troops. Otherwise, he would not have made a surprise inspection of Liu Yanqing's troops.
Zhao Ji said coldly: "Now that the war is approaching, your army's discipline is so lax. In the military camp, there are many people drinking, gambling, and not wearing armor, except for those who play with women!"
More than a hundred officers who were kneeling and shivering in the Chinese army tent thought to themselves:
"Isn't it true that we have gone deep into the hinterland of Xixia and are besieging Xijing City of Xia Kingdom, and the conditions for playing with women are not allowed?"
…
Zhao Jiling's Imperial City Chief of Staff kept a record of the names and mistakes of Liu Yanqing's officers who violated military discipline.
"Bang!" Zhao Ji took the roster, slammed it on the table, pointed at the officers, and said angrily:
"Now, the war is coming, and I am employing people. I will not hold you accountable for the mistakes you have made today. If you can make meritorious deeds in the battle against the enemy, I will not only let the past go, but I will also reward you heavily.
!”
"If you are still in disarray in the war against the enemy, retreat in fear of the enemy, and do not fight hard, I will definitely settle the old accounts and the new accounts together!"
"From today on, you must strictly enforce military discipline and strengthen training! You must remember one thing, 'sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime'!"
"I obey the decree, long live my emperor..."
Zhao Ji waved his hand and said coldly: "Just stand down!"
More than 130 generals, big and small, who were frightened out of their wits by Long Yan's furious Zhao Guan family, shouted:
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor..."
With lingering fear and shame on their faces, they bent over and turned around, lowering their heads. They were thankful that Zhao Guan's family did not punish their crimes according to military law, so they saved their lives.
However, they also heard clearly just now that the matter of being caught by Zhao Guan's family today for violating military discipline was not over yet. Only by making meritorious deeds in the upcoming battle against the enemy can they make up for it...
At this time, Liu Yanqing was left alone in the Chinese army's tent.
He was in a complicated mood, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If it hadn't been for my third son Liu Guangshi, who had brought the official family to our army, my father would not have been caught by the Zhao official family and showed signs of lax discipline in our army!"
"Third brother, it would be a good idea for you. As soon as you return to the camp, according to the orders of Zhao Guan's family, take the three hundred generals from the Dangxiang clan and assist Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in escorting Brother Richard to a parade outside the enemy city. It's a glorious sight.
It's you, but you left my father to be scolded by Zhao Guan's family!"
"Alas! Fortunately, Zhao Guan's family was merciful and gave our soldiers who violated military disciplines a chance to be punished and meritorious service. They only recorded this offense and will not pursue it for the time being..."
Zhao Ji walked up to Liu Yanqing who was kneeling in the tent, stretched out his hand and helped him up.
"The humble minister Yanqing is lax in running the army and has betrayed the divine grace. How dare he bother the officials to support him?! Wuwuwu..."
Liu Yanqing, who was in his fifties, was so moved that he burst into tears.
"Alas!" Zhao Ji looked at Liu Yanqing who was in tears and said with emotion in his heart:
"Liu Aiqing, you are not strict in commanding the army, your military discipline is loose, and your troops are not in order. If you don't correct it in time, if there is a war in the future, your troops will be defeated. It's not easy, and you may die in the hands of the enemy!
"
Liu Yanqing was so frightened by the serious remarks made by Zhao Guan's family that he turned pale and didn't know what to do for a moment!
The time traveler Zhao Ji knows about Liu Yanqing in history, the battles he fought and how he died in battle.
In the fourth year of Xuanhe, that is, the next year, the Song Dynasty fulfilled the maritime covenant reached with the Jin Kingdom, that is, to unite with the Jin Dynasty to attack the Liao Dynasty. Liu Yanqing was summoned to command the Xuanfu capital and command 100,000 troops in the Northern Expedition to attack the Liao Dynasty.
During the march, discipline was loose and the troops were not in order...
Liu Yanqing traveled to Liangxiang (now Liangxiang Town, southwest of Beijing City), and met the Liao army going south to block it. The two armies fought, and the Song army was defeated. Liu Yanqing closed his camp and did not dare to fight again. General Guo Yaoshi suggested that he take advantage of a false attack to capture Yan.
Yanqing immediately sent his generals Gao Shixuan and pharmacist to the city, and ordered his third son Liu Guangshi to lead his troops as backup.
Guo Yaoshi and others invaded Yancheng and fought in the streets with the Liao army. However, because Liu Guangshi did not arrive on time, Guo and Gao Erjiang lost their aid. Guo Yaoshi was defeated and Gao Shi died in battle.
Liu Yanqing had to retreat and camped south of the Lugou River. The Liao army used a bluff, and Liu Yanqing panicked and burned the camp and ran south. The soldiers trampled on each other's dead for more than a hundred miles, causing the Song court to lose the military resources it had accumulated since Shenzong.
Almost exhausted. Liu Yanqing retreated to Xiongzhou (now Xiong County, Hebei). The imperial court considered him guilty of losing his master and demoted him to Junzhou for resettlement.
Soon after, he resumed his duties as the military governor of the Zhenhai Navy. In the first year of Jingkang (1126 AD), the Jin soldiers attacked Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and Liu Yanqing was ordered to defend the city. When the city was broken, he fled with more than 10,000 troops and fled to Guier Temple.
, was chased and killed by the Jin army...
After thinking about this, Zhao Ji summed up the merits and demerits of Liu Yanqing's life in history, that is, he led his troops to repeatedly achieve military exploits in the battle against Xixia, and basically never suffered a major defeat; however, he was severely defeated in the battle against the Liao Dynasty.
Not only was Jin defeated in battle, he was also killed by the Jin army.
…
"well!"
Zhao Ji patted Liu Yanqing's generous shoulder and sighed:
"Liu Aiqing, what I just said to you is not alarmist!"
"If you continue to be as lax in controlling the army as you did before, resulting in loose military discipline and disorganized troops, then if there is a big war in the future, your troops will be defeated. It is really not easy, and you will most likely be defeated and die as a result.
!”
"Wei Chen Yanqing, you know your mistake! The officials have taught you very well! I beg the officials to give Wei Chen Yanqing another chance to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds!"
The reason why Liu Yanqing was afraid was that the officials could say such things in front of him. Does that mean that the Zhao officials had the idea of depriving him of his military power?
'Although I, Liu Yanqing, was born as a general, it was not easy for me to be the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army. It was because of my repeated meritorious service in the war against Xixia and my accumulated military service. Since the official said this,
Do you want to demote me?'
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Yanqing’s face turned pale with fright.
Zhao Ji guessed what Liu Yanqing was thinking by observing his words and expressions.
Zhao Ji saw that because Liu Yanqing held military power, he could still gain the support of his subordinates.
Of course, it was precisely because he was lax in running the army and allowed his soldiers to violate discipline that he gained the support of his subordinates.
Zhao Ji also liked Liu Yanqing's slight favor because he would rather die than surrender to the Jin army even if he was defeated and fled.
He decided to give Liu Yanqing one last chance to see the consequences.
Zhao Ji said to Liu Yanqing, who looked frightened:
"I have just told your generals that if I give them another chance to make up for their crimes, I will also give you a chance to make up for your past mistakes. Therefore, in the battle to defeat Xixia Xijing City, Liu Aiqing, you must lead your troops to fight well, and you must
We will conscientiously implement the tactics we formulated during the previous discussions in front of the imperial court."
After Liu Yanqing heard the promise from Zhao Guan's family, he burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed again, saying:
"Thank you to the official family for giving me the opportunity to make meritorious deeds for my humble minister Yanqing. I will live up to the holy hope and lead my soldiers to kill more enemy troops in order to repay the king's kindness..."
"Weak minister Yanqing, thank you Lord for your kindness! Long live my emperor..."
Zhao Ji helped Liu Yanqing, who was so moved that he could not speak coherently, to his feet again and said:
"Actually, I asked you to lead your troops to camp outside the north gate of the enemy's Xijing City. I also wanted to use your troops and generals' lax discipline to confuse the Xia army who stood firm in Xijing City."
"After my Song soldiers stormed the city from three sides, the Xixia soldiers in the city mistakenly thought that the Song camp in the north city where your troops were stationed could easily break through..."
Liu Yanqing suddenly realized that while he admired the Zhao Guan family for their wisdom, martial arts, and superior strategy, he also felt ashamed of himself.
It turns out that Zhao Guan's family has long known the truth about the lack of military discipline among our soldiers! I am really ashamed of myself...
Zhao Ji added: "I inspected your department today and found many shortcomings. Your department must correct them quickly. Don't wait until the enemy breaks out. Liu Aiqing, your department's military discipline is still as lax as it is today, and it will be impossible to complete the task."
Encircling and annihilating the Xia enemy gave them a heavy blow."
"Weak minister Yanqing, please remember the official teachings..."
Zhao Ji nodded and ordered: "When my plan of 'siege the city must be defended' is implemented and the three-pronged army attacks Xiping Fucheng, Liu Aiqing and your troops are in the camp in the north of the enemy city. You must continuously mobilize a large number of rear troops."
The illusion of going to reinforce the other three siege Song armies..."
"The humble minister Yanqing obeys the decree. Official sages, if this happens, the enemy troops in Xipingfu City will definitely see the emptiness in the camp of the ministers on the city wall. If they cannot hold on to Xipingfu in Xijing, they will definitely abandon the city.
And left the North City Gate. At that time, the troops and horses pretended to be mobilized, but they were actually on the way. They turned back and set up an ambush halfway to ambush the enemy troops who escaped from the city..."
Zhao Ji nodded slightly and said, "What Liu Aiqing said is exactly what I want!"
"In a while, I will also attack the camps of other Song armies. I invite Liu Aiqing to watch them together..."
"The humble minister Yanqing obeys the decree and thanks the Lord for his kindness..."
…
Zhao Ji took Liu Yanqing, and under the protection of the Imperial City Secretary, they suddenly visited the military camps of Zhongshidao, Zhongshizhong, Yao Gu, Guo Cheng, and Han Shizhong without prior notice...
…
Liu Yanqing believed what he saw and truly believed that what Zhao Guanjia taught him was very correct.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Zhao Guan's family led Liu Yanqing to suddenly visit other armies. They all showed strict military discipline. Even Zhao Guan's family did not issue a seal. The guards and generals of other military camps were all ready...
After Zhao Guanjia presented his seal and was put into his camp, what Liu Yanqing saw was a completely different mental outlook from that of his soldiers and generals...
Liu Yanqing accompanied Zhao Guanjia on a temporary assault inspection of the various camps. He did not see a single soldier in the Zhongshi Daobu Camp, Zhongshi Middle Camp, Yaogu Camp, Guo Cheng Camp, and Han Shizhong Camp who committed crimes like his.
Military disciplines violated - drinking, gambling, taking off armor and sleeping...
Soldiers from other ministries, even if they take turns to rest in the camp, are all wearing armor and ready for battle...
Under such a strong contrast, Liu Yanqing truly realized that Zhao Guanjia's criticism of him and his tribe was wise and upright.
Along the way, Liu Yanqing, who was blushing with shame, saw the strict military discipline in other military camps and the soldiers and generals actively preparing for war. He was sincerely grateful to Zhao Guan's family for harshly criticizing him, and he was even more grateful to Zhao Guan's family for giving him a meritorious service.
, a chance to reform.
He secretly swore: "From today on, when I, Liu Yanqing, return to the army, I will strictly manage the army according to the sacred words of Zhao Guanjia, strengthen military training, and will never tolerate generals who violate discipline..."
Liu Yanqing followed Zhao Guan's family and left Han Shizhong's camp...
On the road, they saw in the distance ahead, Yue Fei and Liu Guangshi, leading their troops, were escorting Brother Richard, who was tied to the height of the chariot for a parade...
Zhao Ji, who was riding on a war horse and dressed in military uniform, said to Liu Yanqing, who was on a war horse beside him:
"Look, Uncle Liu Ping, son of Liu Aiqing, is leading his troops with Yue Pengju to escort Brother Richard, parading outside the enemy city to provoke the enemy defenders. Aiqing and I are following them to watch the fun!"
"The official family, the humble minister Yanqing suggested that it is better to stay away to ensure His Majesty's safety..."
"Drive!" Zhao Ji waved his whip and shouted loudly, and the horse galloped forward in response...
Liu Yanqing looked up and saw the bright red cloak embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern worn by Zhao Guanjia on the back of his armor, floating in the fierce wind, looking extremely heroic and unrestrained!
"drive!"
"Drive!" Liu Yanqing and the imperial cavalrymen rushed their horses to pursue Zhao Guan's family to escort them.
…
At this time, Yue Fei and Liu Guangshi, two generals, led their troops to escort Brother Richard on the chariot, and had already walked slowly around the open space outside Xipingfu City where enemy arrows could not reach...
As they marched, they took turns shouting in Chinese and Dangxiang dialects in unison with thunderous momentum:
"Xia Gou who is sticking to the city and not daring to fight, please listen carefully. Your strongest cavalry in Xixia, Iron Kites, has been completely annihilated by our Song Dynasty army..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Now, the commander of the Iron Kites Army, Brother Richard, the King of Jin, has been captured by our army of the Song Dynasty!"
"Xia dogs in the city, if you don't believe it, please stick out your dog heads from the battlements, widen your eyes, and show them all to Grandpa. Who is this person tied to our nest car?
!”
"Summer dogs, have you seen it?"
"The man we tied to the chariot in such a state of embarrassment is Brother Richard, King of Jin, whom you regard as the first god of war in Xixia!"
"Hahahahaha..."
"What? You summer dogs guarding the city, you don't believe this is Brother Richard?"
"Then keep your eyes open and watch!"
"Look at Brother Richard on this Chao Chao. The blood-stained and torn flag hanging on the left side of him is the iron kite military flag that Xixia is proud of, isn't it?"
"Keep your eyes wide open and see clearly!"
"Look! On the right side of brother Richard, there is also the unique armor of the commander of the Iron Kites Army!"
"Hahahahaha..."
"Xia dogs guarding the city, if you have the guts, do you dare to leave the city? Take back your Jin King Richard from your grandfather's hands?!"
"Hahahahaha..."
"Xia dogs guarding the city, you see, there are only a few hundred of us escorting Brother Richard and parading under your city. Are you so cowardly as a mouse that you don't dare to go out of the city and take Brother Richard back?"
"Hahahahaha..."
