Northern Song Dynasty: I became Zhao Ji Chapter 354: I share the same hatred with you, kill all the enemy bandits, and enhance the prestige of our country
Chapter 354: I share the same hatred with you, kill all the enemy bandits, and enhance the prestige of our country
"The humble minister Guangshi, starts to report to the official family..."
Zhao Ji saw Liu Guangshi's petty thoughts and interrupted him before he finished speaking.
"I know your true feelings. However, you and your son have other important uses, so don't worry!"
"Wei Chen Guangshi obeys the order." Liu Guangshi bowed, clasped his fists, and kept silent.
Liu Yanqing glared at his son Liu Guangshi and sighed secretly: This son is too hasty, so he should just follow the official arrangements.
Zhao Ji pointed at the north gate of Xingqing Prefecture's city defense map with the Emperor's sword, and said seriously:
"Han Liangchen obeys the order!"
"I am a humble minister, and I will listen to the holy edict respectfully!"
"I order Aiqing to lead the elite of our headquarters, with Hu Yantong and Cheng Min as the first and deputy vanguard officers, to attack the enemy's Zhenwu Gate in the northwest of the capital!"
"The humble minister is loyal and must obey the order!"
Han Shizhong led the order and obeyed it. He admired the Zhao Guan family very much for knowing so well the two fierce generals under his command who stayed in the military camp.
Zhao Ji pointed his sword at the west gate of Xia's capital city defense map and said:
"I order Yue Pengju to lead the elite of the headquarters, Zhang Xian as the main vanguard officer, Wang Gui and Niu Gao as deputy vanguard officers, to attack the far gate of the west town of the enemy's capital city!"
When Liu Guangshi saw that the Zhao Guan family had assigned all the tasks of attacking the six gates of Xia's capital, he became a little anxious.
Zhao Ji had long considered that the generals under Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshiping were poorly disciplined. Although he, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, inspected his troops during the battle against Xia and severely reprimanded the Liu family and his son, he
The discipline of the army has also improved, but Zhao Ji believes that the soldiers and horses of Liu and his son should not be used for the time being in such a tough siege.
Zhao Ji looked serious and said: "The Xijing City of the Xia Kingdom that our army has just captured, which is now the Lingzhou City of the Song Dynasty, and the Yellow River Ferry on the western outskirts of the city are the backbone and top priority of our army in conquering Xia! I am determined to do it.
Choose capable ministers and good generals to lead your troops and defend this place!"
All the generals agreed...
Zhao Ji said loudly: "The Prime Minister will stay in Lingzhou City and be fully responsible for the dispatch of food and grass for the military and civilians in the city!"
Zongze accepted the order happily and said: "Zongze, a humble minister, must obey the order!"
"Liu Yanqing obeys the order."
"Weak minister Yanqing, listen carefully to the edict!!"
"I order you to lead my troops and be responsible for guarding Lingzhou City and the Yellow River ferry in the western suburbs!"
"I and the generals will go north along the Yellow River to attack the enemy's capital. The backs of me and the generals will be left to Liu Aiqing!"
Liu Yanqing, who was still a little disappointed just now, immediately said excitedly after hearing the holy words:
"The humble minister Yanqing must obey the order and never let down the holy hope!"
Zhao Ji nodded and said seriously: "Liu Aiqing, hold on to this place so that our army can advance and retreat in a controlled manner. Lingzhou City and the Yellow River ferry in the western suburbs must not be lost!"
"Anyone who is lost in any of the two places shall be punished by military law!"
"Wei Chen Yanqing will definitely guard Lingzhou City and the Yellow River Ferry in the western suburbs! If we lose either of these two places, Wei Chen Liu Yanqing is willing to have military justice punished!"
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction. In fact, Zhao Ji sent more than a dozen groups of missions to persuade tribes to surrender in various places in Xia Kingdom, and those who were closer to here have returned.
He learned about several local armies of the nearby Xia Kingdom. Although they were not persuaded to surrender, they secretly stated that they would stay where they were and not move their troops.
However, Zhao Ji still had to make complete preparations and must leave a large army to defend the Xijing City of Xia Kingdom that he had just conquered, which is now the Lingzhou City of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it was the most effective to leave Liu Yanqing's troops, who had average combat power, to guard this place.
appropriate.
From the exchange between the generals Zhao Guanjia and Liu Yanqing, they heard a piece of bombshell news, that is, in this blitzkrieg attack on the capital of Xia Kingdom, the Zhao Guanjia family was going to march in person!
Many generals admired Zhao Guanjia's courage from the bottom of their hearts, but they could not help but worry about the dangers of Zhao Guanjia's personal expedition with the army.
"Wei Chen Zongze starts playing!"
"Speak!" Zhao Ji said.
"Weijun Zongze believes that the official's imperial chariots have personally conquered Xingqing Mansion in the Xijing capital of the Xia Dynasty with their own conquests and bravery. They are going to use blitzkrieg to attack Xingqing Mansion, the enemy's capital. The danger is unpredictable. The official should not use the body of a saint to conquer Xingqing Mansion.
Take the risk!”
"The humble minister Yue Fei seconded the suggestion that the officials should stay in Lingzhou City, which our army has just recovered, and take command!"
"Weichen Seed Master seconded the proposal..."
Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said fearlessly: "My great ancestor, Emperor Taizong, when he pacified the north and south of the world, he personally conquered them all!"
"I also know that one hundred and seventeen years ago, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom and the Shengzong of the Liao Kingdom led an army of 200,000 people southward and invaded the border of the Song Dynasty. The Liao army fought and won consecutive battles and was on the verge of attacking the Song Dynasty.
The power of Bianjing!"
"At that time, Kou Zhongmin tried his best to reject the public opinion of patrolling the south (i.e. fleeing south), and tried his best to persuade me, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, that he should lead the expedition himself to boost the morale of the three armies."
"In the end, Emperor Zhenzong personally led the expedition. Sure enough, the morale of our Song army was greatly boosted. The soldiers fought with their lives to repel the Liao army. Only then was the Chanyuan Alliance able to maintain peace on the Song-Liao border for a hundred years!"
"Now, why can't I lead the expedition myself?"
The generals were speechless.
They knew that the Zhao Guan family respected Kou Zhun's posthumous title of "Zhongmin" so highly, which meant they highly respected him. But now, they were persuading the Zhao Guan family not to go on an expedition in person. It seemed that they still did not have the courage and courage of Kou Zhongmin!
Zhao Ji spoke earnestly and said: "What's more, I'm not going into battle in person to risk the arrows and flying stones that attack the city! I'm just among the army of beloved ministers to boost the morale of the soldiers, and according to changes in the enemy's situation, I will
Timely command and adjust the offensive and defensive strategies of the entire army."
When the generals heard the holy words, they were relieved a lot.
They have a deep understanding: After being tested in several battles in the Xia Dynasty, the Zhao Guan family's commanding ability has really improved to the highest level after a drastic change in temperament!
Zhao Ji said domineeringly:
"I have decreed from heaven that you may live a long and prosperous life!"
"The mere battle to destroy Xia won't even hurt my hair!"
"I have made up my mind, please don't try to persuade me!"
When the generals saw that Zhao Guanjia had made up his mind, they stopped trying to dissuade him.
They naturally knew that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty accompanying the army on the expedition would be of great benefit to the morale and morale of the army.
Zhao Ji pointed at Liu Guangshi and said: "I order you to lead 3,000 troops to escort Brother Richard, the Jin king of Upper Western Xia, and follow the army north to attack Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia. Your troops must shake the morale of the soldiers and generals guarding the city of Xia.
, Destroy the enemy’s morale!”

Liu Guangshi said happily: "The humble minister Guangshi must obey the order!"
Zhao Ji pointed at Yang Zaixing, the last remaining fierce general, and said:
"My dear, please accompany me on the expedition and protect you by my side!"
Yang Zaixing said happily: "The humble minister Zaixing must obey the order!"
…
Zhao Ji said loudly: "I regard the land of Xixia as the land of the Song Dynasty, and I regard the people of Xingqing Mansion in Xixia as my people! Therefore, after my army of conquering Xia invaded Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia, I still made three chapters of the treaty!"
"I obey the decree..."
"Wei Chen should remember the holy teachings..."
Zhao Ji changed the subject and said: "However, after our army enters the city, any soldiers or civilians in the city who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"The officials are wise and the ministers obey the orders..."
"Wei Chen should remember the holy teachings..."
"I also want to remind you all, dear friends, that when fighting the enemy, especially when attacking Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia Kingdom, you must unite sincerely!"
The generals have long been accustomed to Zhao Guanjia not coming up with one or two new words from time to time, and they can understand the meaning of "sincere unity" spoken by Zhao Guanjia.
The generals expressed their sincere unity...
Zhao Ji looked at Yao Gu and Zhongshi and said to himself:
'In history, Yao and Zhong led their troops to support Taiyuan and failed to unite sincerely in the battle against the Jin Dynasty. Yao Gu did not arrive at the battlefield as scheduled, which resulted in the Zhong division being defeated by the Jin Dynasty, which had an advantage in military strength.
The army was severely defeated, and eventually Zhongshi died in the battle.'
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji stretched out his hands and tightly held the hands of Zongze and Master Zhong beside him, and seriously suggested:
"My dear friends, like me, stretch out your hands and hold the hands of the generals beside you!"
"I obey the decree..."
"I obey the decree..."
Although there are doubters among the generals, who dares to disobey the imperial edict of Zhao Guan's family?
The generals sitting on the ground around the two maps imitated Zhao Guanjia's example, stretching out their hands and clasping the hands of the generals beside them.
The leader next to him among the cultivators is Zhao Guanjia, and the other side of him is Yao Gu.
When one of Yao Gu's hands was held by the strong hand that the cultivator reached out to him, he felt strange inexplicably.
However, Yao Gu suddenly felt that in front of the Zhao Guan family, the Yao and Zhong families had been generals in the northwest for several generations, and the past of the two families fighting openly and secretly was really not worth mentioning.
Soon, with Zhao Guan's family as the starting point, the generals and Zhao Guan's family quickly joined hands to form a circle, surrounding the map of Xia Kingdom and the map of Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xia State, which were spread on the ground.
Zhao Ji saw this situation in his eyes, and he thought of some company team building sessions he had watched while watching videos before he time traveled, where employees and bosses held hands together, formed a circle, and shouted:
The rhetoric of working hard and striving for performance. Facts have proved that this is in line with human psychology, and the general effect is quite good!
Zhao Ji said loudly: "This situation and this scene remind me of the poem "No Clothes" in "The Book of Songs: Qin Feng"!"
Among the generals, many like Zong Ze, Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu, Yue Fei and others knew this poem and nodded empathetically;
However, among the generals, there were some people from poor backgrounds, such as Niu Gao and Zhang Jun, who had not heard of this poem and showed surprised expressions.
Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said loudly: "The poem "Wuyi" talks about the love between warriors, the same hatred and hatred, and mutual trust! I will recite one sentence, and all the lovers will repeat it!"
"How can you say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you."
"How can you say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you."
"The king raised his army, repaired my sword and spear, and shared the same enemy with me!"
"…………"
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my spear and halberd and worked with me together!"
"…………"
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same clothes with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my armor and soldiers and went with me!"
The generals held hands and followed Zhao Guanjia in reciting the poem "No Clothes" sentence by sentence. They suddenly felt that the person they were holding was a comrade to whom they could give their backs!
Zhao Guanjia let go of his hands, and the generals also let go of their hands.
Zhao Ji said solemnly: "In this attack on Xingqing Mansion in Xia Jing, I will definitely give clear rewards and punishments! Those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who are timid and run away will be beheaded!"
"The officials are wise, and I will definitely serve the country with my own life and conquer Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia..."
"..."
Zhao Ji stood up, pointed his sword at the northwest of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia Kingdom, and said loudly:
"After the generals return to camp, immediately assemble the elite troops of their headquarters, bring your firearms battalion, engineer company and river crossing siege equipment, prepare enough food and grass for three days, and an hour later, assemble at the Yellow River ferry in the western suburbs of Lingzhou, ready to order
Get aboard!”
"I obey the order!"
"I obey the decree..."
…
After receiving the order, all the generals mounted their horses and galloped away...
Zhao Ji said to Zongze: "Later, at the Yellow River Ferry in Lingzhou, we will organize and dispatch the troops from all walks of life to board the ship, and Prime Minister Lao will be here!"
Zongze said happily: "This is the responsibility of this humble minister Zongze! Why should the officials care about it?!"
Zhao Ji patted Zongze on the shoulder, called him by name affectionately, and said:
"Rulin is truly the mainstay of our Song Dynasty, my Great Wall!"
Zongze burst into tears with gratitude, mounted his fast horse, and under the protection of dozens of cavalry guards, headed to the Yellow River ferry on the western outskirts of Lingzhou...
Under the protection of Yang Zaixing and a group of royal officials, Zhao Ji returned to the city first. After taking a short rest, he planned to bring Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and even Zhao Gou, the lucky son of Kang, who could escape from death. 'Amulet'!
Zhao Ji and his party are waiting to enter the city...
Zhao Ji discovered that the markets in Lingzhou City had basically returned to their former prosperity. This had a lot to do with the Song Dynasty official family's attack on Xijing of the Xia Kingdom and the Three Chapters of the Civil Contract Law.
Also, even the people in the city had to make a living. He saw that after the righteous army of the Song Dynasty entered the city, they did not commit any evil acts such as burning, killing, looting, and raping. Therefore, they boldly went out and started doing business as before...
When Zhao Ji and his party passed by a busy market in the city, they saw a group of people watching the body of Pu Wang Li Renzhong.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Ji stopped his horse and announced in public:
"Li Renzhong swore to fight to the death against our righteous master of the Song Dynasty, but he was also his own master. Although, when he was defending the city, he forcibly confiscated all the remaining grain from the people's homes in the city, and demolished many people's houses to get stones to defend the city. He was evil A lot has been done!”
After listening to the holy words, many people in the city who were watching did not forget the evil deeds done to them by King Pu when he was guarding the city. They stabbed Li Renzhong's body in the air and gnashed their teeth with hatred...
Zhao Ji said loudly: "Of course, I govern the world with benevolence and righteousness. I can't bear to look at Li Renzhong's rotting corpse!"
"I hereby decree that Li Renzhong's body be buried in advance!"
Zhao Ji said to the Song Army primary school guarding the body of Li Renzhong, Puwang of Xixia:
"I order you to take your own men and put Li Renzhong's body into a coffin! Carry it outside the east city, choose a quiet place, and bury it!"
"The general will obey the order! Officials are benevolent and righteous!!" the principal shouted loudly.
The other soldiers and generals also shouted:
"Official benevolence and righteousness! Long live my emperor..."
The people watching here shouted sincerely:
"The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are benevolent and righteous! Long live my emperor..."
"The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are benevolent and righteous! Long live my emperor..."
Zhao Ji smiled slightly, his goal of winning people's hearts had been achieved.
My reputation for governing the world with benevolence and righteousness will surely spread even further through this incident!
Zhao Ji rode away under the admiring gazes and shouts of many former Xixia people (now the people of the Song Dynasty)...
On his way back to the city, Zhao Ji passed by the courtyard where Cao, the princess of Xia Kingdom, temporarily lived.
He treated the war horse lightly, pointed at the courtyard gate, and said to an old eunuch riding behind him:
"It is my word that Cao will accompany my royal chariot to the expedition in person. Let her prepare quickly. You must take her and the royal sedan chair of the Xia Kingdom with you!"
"If so, the enemy city is difficult to defeat, and Cao's family may be able to shake the enemy's military morale!"
"Old slave obeys the order..."
Zhao Ji returned to the temporary palace in the city and called Zhao Kai, King of Yun, and Zhao Gou, King of Kang.
"I would like to take you two with me to increase your knowledge. Are you willing to go?"
"My son is willing to go..." Zhao Kai bowed and clasped his fists, excitedly saying.
"My son is also willing to go..." Zhao Gou bowed and clasped his fists, saying slightly worriedly.
"Haha..." Zhao Ji smiled and said:
"Okay! Second son, you are quite courageous!"
Zhao Ji had a simple royal meal with Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou in the palace...
Zhao Ji was in high spirits and said with a smile:
"Kaier, Gourer, quickly prepare your horses and armor, and go out with me to attack the enemy's capital, Xingqing Mansion!"
"ah?!"
"ah?!"
Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou were both unexpected.
They never expected that their father had personally conquered several cities in the enemy's country, and now they had just captured the Xiping Mansion in Xijing of the Xia Kingdom, and renamed it Lingzhou of the Song Dynasty. The Song army had not been repairing the city for three days, and now
Going on another expedition?
Moreover, it was Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia Kingdom, that was attacked!
However, after they both inadvertently let out a shocked "Ah", they both felt rude, gritted their teeth, and said firmly:
"My son, I obey!"
"My son, I obey the decree! I sincerely wish my father the emperor to conquer the war in person and win the battle!"
…
Two-quarters of an hour later, the autumn sky was high, the golden sunshine shone on the vast outskirts of Lingzhou Xicheng, the roaring Yellow River was sparkling...
Zhao Ji, wearing a helmet and whipping armor, stood on the bank of the Yellow River ferry, as if the god of war had descended, with heroic appearance and impressive momentum!
The king of Yun, Zhao Kai, and the king of Kang, Zhao Gou, were also well-armored. They followed Zhao Ji and waited for Hao Qiang...
They both could not hide their sincere admiration for their father.
The water of the Yellow River is surging and the waves are roaring, like thousands of troops galloping, echoing the heroic ambitions of tens of thousands of soldiers waiting to board the ship on the shore!
In the distance, the mountains are towering, and nearby, the war flags are fluttering in the wind, with a magnificent momentum.
The officers and soldiers of each department, from infantry to cavalry, from archers to shield bearers, from artillery to engineers, are all ready to go. They are wearing iron armor, holding weapons, with bright eyes and strict discipline.
Under the methodical command of Privy Councilor Zongze, all the armies were in order, like a precision-operated war machine.
Zhongshi Dao has led the elites of his headquarters to board the warship for the first time...
At this time, whether it was the soldiers of the Zhongshi Daobu who had boarded the ship or the generals and soldiers waiting to board the ship on the shore, most of them saw the Zhao Guan family standing on the bank of the Yellow River. They shouted like a mountain and a tsunami:
"The official royal chariot is here to see us off!"
"Long live my emperor..."
"Long live my emperor..."
Zhao Ji raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet. Although his voice was not high-pitched, it would be clearly heard in everyone's ears. Because if he said one word, the five hundred imperial city ministers and officials behind him would
Shout in unison and repeat:
"Not only am I going to see the soldiers off, I will also board the ship with my princes, King Yun and King Kang, and attack the enemy capital Xingqing Mansion together with you!"
"..."
"ah?!"
"ah?!"
"ah?!"
"Guan Zhao actually wants to go on a personal expedition?!"
"Long live my emperor..."
The officers and soldiers of all armies were greatly boosted and their morale was high.
Zhao Ji immediately stood on the bank of the Yellow River. His gaze was like a torch, scanning the whole place. His calm and confident demeanor made every soldier present admire him!
"I am with you, and we will win this battle! I, the great Song Dynasty son, will kill all the enemies with an iron-blooded heart and raise the prestige of our country!"
"…………"
All the civil servants and military generals showed shock on their faces, and unprecedented admiration and awe surged in their hearts!
They knew that the emperor in front of them was not only the king of a country, but also the God of War in their hearts. He would definitely lead the Song Dynasty to a prosperous and glorious future!
"The official sage will win this battle!"
"I write in accordance with the imperial edict: kill all the enemy invaders and promote the prestige of our country!"
"Long live my emperor..."
The whole army burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami. The sound penetrated the clouds and cracked the rocks and resounded through the sky!
…
At this time, in Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, in the main hall of the imperial city, Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was sitting listlessly on the dragon chair.
All the civil and military officials in the palace were panicked, fearful, and agitated, like ants on a hot pot...
"Your Majesty, outside the east city of Xingqing Mansion in the capital, our soldiers discovered that there were hundreds of corpses of our soldiers on the water of the Yellow River, floating along the river..."
"Ah?!" Li Qianshun was furious and said: "Send troops and take boats to salvage them quickly! And find out where the body came from?"
"That's right! We also need to... secretly pass on my edict: the soldiers stationed at the Yellow River ferry in the eastern suburbs of Xingqing Prefecture must strictly block the corpses of our soldiers floating upstream. Don't let the troops and people in the capital know about this.
Believe! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!!"
"I obey the decree..."
…
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, the eight-hundred-mile horse will speed up the military report!"
Li Qianshun's brows furrowed, for fear of hearing another news about the defeat of the Xia army and the loss of cities and territory.
