Chapter 371 God blesses Zhao Guans family, Xixias heart is shattered
Zhao Ji waved his hand and ordered the ten Xia soldiers who identified Li Liangfu's body to surrender and be taken down.
He said loudly: "Pass on my will, our army will try to break through the capital of Xixia tonight!"
"The general will obey the order..."
"The general will obey the order..."
Several cavalry majors who delivered the order received the order. The princes, civil servants and generals around Zhao Guan's family were all refreshed when they heard that the Holy Word would launch a general attack on the enemy capital tonight, and their eyes shone with the expectation of victory...
…
"Report..."
"In response to the official report, Zhang Jun and Yang Xinzhong pursued Li Liangfu's defeated troops and fled to the outskirts of the east city of Xingqing Prefecture. On the way, they met Xia Emperor Li Qianshun and his troops preparing to go to the bank of the Yellow River to reward the troops..."
"The two vanguards Zhang and Yang led the cavalry to kill Emperor Xia's imperial guards..."
"Zhang Jun and Yang Xinzhong led their troops to kill thousands of the six imperial guards who protected Emperor Xia, and recruited and surrendered many Xia army soldiers..."
Zhao Ji temporarily took up position on the bank of the Yellow River that was originally guarded by Li Liangfu of the Xia Army. He was still several miles away from the front line of the Song Army. The report was only about half a quarter of an hour behind the frontline soldiers, and he was able to have a clear understanding of the real-time battle situation on the frontline.
"Report..."
"In response to the official announcement, Emperor Xia led the remnants of his tribe to flee. Zhang Jun and Yang Xinzhong captured Emperor Xia's chariot and picked up the golden crown with a floral spire worn by Emperor Xia."
"Zhang Jun and Yang Xinzhong led their troops to pursue Xia Emperor Li Qianshun in the direction of the enemy's east city of Jingdong. Therefore, they deviated from the middle part of Zhong Division of the South Route Army."
Zhao Ji smiled and played with the captured golden crown with a flower spire that Emperor Xia had dropped when he escaped. He then looked up at the important trophy sent to him by Zhang Jun's troops - Emperor Xia's royal carriage, and asked :
"Zhang Jun and Yang Xinzhong, is it okay to catch up with Li Qian?"
"In an official report, Li Qianshun fled into the east gate of Xingqing Mansion in Xia Jing..."
"What a pity!" Zhao Ji sighed:
"If Li Qianshun, the puppet emperor of Xixia, was captured by our army outside the city, how many people would have died in the battle to attack the enemy capital Xingqingfu! That is, Xixia soldiers, generals or civilians would wait until the Song Dynasty was pacified After Xixia, I regard them all as my subjects!"
"Father is benevolent..."
"The benevolence of officials..."
…
"Report!"
"Zhang Jun and Yang Xinzhong led their troops to pursue the remnants of the Xia emperor Li Qianshun who fled eastward to the east city of Xingqing Mansion. Li Qianshun fled back to the city. The Xia army guarding the city closed the city gates and isolated the large number of Xia troops behind the city. Let me, Song, hack and kill you."
"The Xia army fired stone cannons and arrows on the city, destroying the suspension bridge on the moat, making it impossible for the vanguard Zhang Jun and Yang Xin's central cavalry to cross the river!"
"Deputy pioneer Yang Xin was hit by two arrows, but he still fought with wounds, killing more than a hundred Xia soldiers, and recruiting thousands of Xia soldiers to surrender..."
Zhao Ji asked with concern: "Is Mr. Yang's injury serious?"
"Reporting back to the officials, Lieutenant General Yang Xin broke the shaft of the arrow he hit. Although his shirt was stained with blood, he was still able to kill the enemy with wounds. He said that his armor was thick and only had minor skin injuries, so he could still kill the enemy bravely. , to repay the official’s favor!”
Zhao Ji nodded heavily and blurted out: "The eldest son of the Yang family, he only orders things and is loyal to others. He is really my Guo Ziyi!"
A few steps away from Zhao Ji on the left, a layman immediately took out a charcoal pen and quickly recorded Zhao Guan's words praising Yang Xinzhong.
Zhao Ji caught a glimpse of Qi Julang's recording movements. He also saw Kang Wang Xiao Zhaogou on his left. He heard the battle report from the front saying that Yang Xinzhong was so loyal and brave. In addition, his comments about Yang Xin seemed to be about Xiao Zhaogou.
Zhao Gou's heart was broken, and tears were rolling in Zhao Gou's eyes.
Zhao Ji looked a little dumbfounded and thought to himself:
"The comment I just blurted out about Yang Xinzhong was exactly the high praise he had for Yang Xinzhong, who had been renamed Yang Cunzhong, after Zhao Gounandu became emperor in history!"
Zhao Ji had read "History of the Song Dynasty" before traveling through time, and clearly remembered Zhao Gou's original words recorded in it: "Yang Cunzhong, only orders things, and is loyal to both, and I am Guo Ziyi."
Although the "History of the Song Dynasty" was written by people from the Yuan Dynasty, when it came to records of the emperor's remarks, they also consulted and excerpted them from the "Daily Notes" left by the previous dynasty to record the emperor's words and deeds, so its credibility is still very high.
Similarly, Zhao Ji was very moved by the battle report he just heard about Yang Xinzhong fighting bravely against the enemy despite being wounded by an arrow. Although he was also a little worried, he knew that Yang Xinzhong would be injured many times in battles against the enemy. In fact, those
Even the injuries would not endanger the life of this tough man.
Before Zhao Ji traveled through time and came to this world, he read history and knew that Yang Cunzhong in history was talented, loyal, filial and brave. He had been in and out of Suwei for forty years and had the least mistakes. He had gone through more than two hundred battles and suffered more than fifty wounds, but he had not sacrificed.
On the battlefield, he survived until Zhao Gou's adopted son Song Xiaozong died a good death.
Historical records: Song Xiaozong treated Yang Cunzhong (namely Yang Xinzhong) with special courtesy because he was an old minister of Emperor Gaozong. He often called him the prince of the county instead of calling him by his first name.
In the second year of Qiandao (1166 AD), Yang Cunzhong died at the age of sixty-five. He became an official as a grand master and was posthumously named King He, with the posthumous title "Wu Gong".
Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty who became the Supreme Emperor after the Zen throne, heard that Yang Xinzhong had passed away. He remembered his old minister, shed tears for him, and gave him 100,000 yuan as a gift.
…
"Bah!" Zhao Gou, a young man, heard the report from the front. He was so moved by Yang Xinzhong's words and deeds of being wounded and killing the enemy that he couldn't help crying.
He began to report: "I am reporting to my father, Yang Xinzhong is so loyal and brave, and the imperial court should reward him greatly!"
Zhao Ji looked at the young man Zhao Gou in front of him, bowed his head, and could only see the red helmet tassel on his head, which was trembling slightly.
Zhao Ji swept down and saw that the uppers of the cowhide boots Zhao Gou was wearing were wet with tears.
He sighed in his heart: Is this the fate that Zhao Gou and Yang Xinzhong cherish each other as monarchs and ministers, and are each other's nobles?
Zhao Ji dismissed young Zhao Gou's petition and said seriously:
"When I was in the capital, I worked with the Privy Council to formulate regulations on rewards and punishments in the military. Therefore, Yang Xinli's military exploits should be rewarded according to the regulations, and he should not be rewarded without my will."
"Only in this way can we form a system in the army of the Song Dynasty, so that everyone knows that the rewards and punishments of our officers and soldiers in the Song Dynasty are all in accordance with the rules and have evidence to rely on! In this way, we can build our officers and soldiers in the Song Dynasty to be comparable to those in the Song Dynasty."
The tiger and wolf warriors of the Qin Dynasty could wipe out the entire world!"
Zhao Gou was deflated and looked ugly, and said in a trembling voice: "My father is wise and wise, but my son is short-sighted!"
On the side, King Yun Zhao Kai showed an expression of gloating that was hard to detect.
When all the soldiers heard the holy words, they shouted: "The official and the sage..."
"Long live my emperor..."
Zhao Ji, who was calm and composed, could see all this clearly. He could see clearly into the ugly expression of the young Zhao Gou and the gloating pride of the young Zhao Kai, but he didn't care about it now.
The performance of these two brothers.
It’s not like he deliberately suppressed Zhao Gou.
As a time traveler, Zhao Ji does not have the original owner's special love for King Yun Zhao Kai, nor the original owner's special dislike for King Kang Zhao Gou because of his low status as his biological mother.
Zhao Ji, who was familiar with the history of the two Song Dynasties, both loved and hated Zhao Gou. This needs to be explained by the theory of contradiction.
After the Jingkang Incident in history, if it were not for the lucky man Zhao Gou who slipped through the net and jumped over the dragon gate to become the real emperor after crossing south, the Zhao, Song and Han dynasties would have been completely wiped out by the Jin army; this is Zhao
The cuteness of the structure.
However, after Zhao Zuo became the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, when faced with the God-given opportunity of possibly winning the Northern Expedition to regain the lost lands in the Central Plains, he became a coward who was afraid of the Jin Kingdom. He only wanted to settle down in a corner and kill Yue Fei and other heroes and committed suicide.
He humbly and humbly proposed peace to Jin... This is what is hateful about him.
Zhao Ji secretly made up his mind: If there is a better prince, he might as well replace him.
…
"Report!"
"Latest good news!"
"In response to the official reports, Mr. Lao Zhong, the general manager, has led his troops to two miles east of Xingqing Prefecture in the Xia capital to join forces with Zhang Jun and Yang Xin in the middle."
"After being identified by Zhang Jun and Yang Xinzhong, Lao Zhong, the strategic minister, used the telescope given by the official family and saw Emperor Xia Li Qianshun standing on the east wall of Xingqing Mansion supervising the battle!"
Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this. Half a quarter of an hour ago, he had heard the sound of artillery fire from the Song Army in the direction of the enemy's east city. He had already expected that Zhong Shidao would invite the artillery team I gave to his troops to attack the east city.
Xia Emperor Li Qianshun opened fire.
The king of Yun, Zhao Kai, Kang Wang, Zhao Gou and many soldiers and generals around Zhao Guanjia were all smart people. After hearing the report from the front line, they also guessed a thing or two. However, due to the majesty of Zhao Guanjia's presence here, and the fact that there were no reportrs.
After finishing speaking, it was not easy for them to interrupt and talk nonsense now, so they all listened quietly and held their breath.
"In response to the official report, Mr. Lao Zhongjinglue ordered to call out the artillery squad given to his department by the official, set up the artillery, and fired at Xia Emperor Li Qianshun on the enemy's capital, Xingqingfu City!"
Zhao Ji just nodded slightly, still not showing concern about the results of the Zhongshi Taoist Department's bombardment of Xia Emperor Li Qianshun.
In fact, Zhao Ji is in a very good state of mind now. He has already regarded Li Qianshun, the leader of the ZTE in Xixia, as a dead man. But when the Song army attacked the city, should Li Qianshun die earlier? Or should he wait until Xingqing City was destroyed?
He'll just die later.
After hearing such important military information, Zhao Guan's family looked calm and calm, which made the reporting officer and everyone present feel infinite admiration for Zhao Guan's family.
"In response to the official announcement, the Yuci artillerymen of the Prime Minister Lao Zhong fired several artillery shells at the enemy's east city. One shell accurately fell into the shield array protecting Li Qianshun and exploded... It blew up the enemy troops on the city. Broken limbs flew everywhere, blood and flesh splattered everywhere!"
"However, whether it was Mr. Lao Zhong, Zhang Lue, or Generals Zhang and Yang used their binoculars to look at the enemy's eastern city, they could only see chaos on the enemy's city due to the city wall blocking their sight, and could not see Emperor Xia clearly. Was Li Qianshun killed or injured by our army's artillery shells?"
When Zhao Ji heard this, he felt that the golden crown with a floral spire that Li Qianshun had thrown away that he was playing with was no longer so fun. As for the Xia Emperor's royal carriage in front of him, he dismissed it.
He glanced sideways and took another look at the dead body of Xixia General Li Liangfu surrounded by a temporary wooden fence, and he took it to heart.
Zhao Ji ordered the accompanying civil servants to take out paper and pen to record his next speech in order to write a battle statement for the general attack on Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia.
Several accompanying civil servants immediately obeyed the order.
Zhao Ji said loudly: "I know that more than a hundred years ago, the Xixia Dynasty started with Li Jiqian and Li Deming and his son. Sometimes they returned to the Song Dynasty, proclaimed themselves ministers and changed their surnames to Zhao, sometimes rebelled against the Song Dynasty and harassed the border areas, and called the king's surname Li. They are really villains!"
"After Li Yuanhao came to rule Xixia, he invaded our Song Dynasty border more frequently, captured many cities, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil!"
"My three armies are hot-blooded men who never forget the past and are the masters of the future! We should remember that our Song Dynasty fought with Xixia in the battle of Sanchuankou, the battle of Haoshuichuan, and the battle of Dingchuan Village. Xixia killed our country. How many soldiers and generals did the Song Dynasty?! How many property and women on the border of the Song Dynasty were plundered by me?!"
"At that time, I, Duke Fan Wenzheng of the Song Dynasty, reached a 'Qingli Peace Agreement' with the puppet emperor Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia Dynasty, which ended the long-term war between the Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty. However, I, the great Song Dynasty, actually gave away coins to jackals and wild dogs every year. of Xixia."
"Even if Song and Xia reached the 'Qingli Peace Agreement', the descendants of Li Yuanhao, and until the current dynasty of Xixia's pseudo-emperor Li Qianshun, Xixia still did not change its ungrateful nature of jackals and wild dogs, invading our border with Song Dynasty from time to time, burning, killing and looting our border residents! "
Zhao Ji's speech in public made all the soldiers and generals present extremely angry. Several accompanying civil servants clenched their pens, gnashing their teeth angrily, and recorded Zhao Guan's family's holy teachings on rice paper.
Zhao Ji changed the subject and said in a loud voice:
"Now, I lead the righteous army of the Song Dynasty to attack the treacherous Xixia. I have received the blessing of the gods from the sky, and thunder fell from the sky and killed Li Qianshun!"
"You, the generals of the Xia Army who are guarding Xingqing Mansion, should be regarded as outstanding men who understand the current affairs, and quickly march to the city and return to the Song Dynasty, otherwise you will die without a burial place!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Guanjia’s holy words excited everyone present.
Several civil servants in charge of recording were ordered to record Zhao Guanjia's speech. They originally wanted to polish and revise it according to the imperial decree. However, they all coincidentally discovered that the content of Zhao Guanjia's impromptu speech just now was not only brilliant in literary talent, but also full of emotion.
Without changing a word of Zhao Guanjia's speech, if the officers and soldiers of the three armies of the Song Dynasty could read and listen to this statement, it would immediately make them full of hatred for the Xia enemy, improve the morale of the three armies, and encourage them to fight bravely against the enemy...
Without changing a single word of Zhao Guanjia's speech, if the Xia enemies heard this statement, it would make them feel ashamed and fearful of the power of the Song Dynasty, shake their military morale, and greatly reduce their morale!
However, when many civil servants and generals present listened to the last few words of the Hadith, they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts:
"Why did the Zhao Guan family deliberately describe the artillery of the Song Dynasty as the righteous master of the Song Dynasty, the thunder dropped by the heaven's blessing?"
"Why are the Zhao Guan family so arbitrary, saying that Emperor Xia Li Qianshun has been killed by the bomb?"
Among the smart people present, after thinking hard for more than ten breaths, a few suddenly realized:
Due to the lack of information, the Xixia generals had no idea that the Zhao Guan family had secretly developed artillery for the Song Dynasty. They trained and trained a battalion of artillery in Bianjing in advance and distributed them to various troops of the Song and Xia armies.
The Xixia soldiers, led by Emperor Xia who respected Confucianism and Buddhism, were very superstitious about the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. When they heard that it was the Zhao Guan family who was personally conquering the imperial army, they received help from heaven and attracted thunder from the sky to blow them up, which was far better than hearing that the Song army had developed a weapon. The emergence of new anti-personnel weapons and artillery has caused greater psychological trauma to them.
As for what Zhao Guanjia said, by spreading the word that Emperor Xia Li Qianshun was killed by a thunderbolt on the east city of Xingqing Mansion, regardless of whether this was the case, he could quickly disintegrate the morale of the Xia army in the enemy capital and improve the morale of our Song generals. Morale!
The few smart people present spent a lot of effort and finally realized the far-reaching intentions of Zhao Guanjia. They admired Zhao Guanjia so much!
…
Zhao Ji issued an order on the spot, asking Wang De, a junior high school student, to lead a hundred cavalry to escort the captured Xia Emperor's spire golden crown, Xixia's royal carriage, and attack Xia's proclamation;
There is also the military information that is not true or false but can shatter the hearts of Xixia people - the news that Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was killed on the east wall of Xingqing Mansion by a 'sky thunder' triggered by the Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty who had been blessed by heaven. It was handed over to Liu Guangshi's department, who was responsible for going around the enemy's capital and shouting to persuade them to surrender.
"The last general, Wang De, obeys the order and will never let down the official reputation!" Wang De immediately accepted the order, turned around and left, gathered the good men and horses, and set off immediately...
Zhao Ji looked at the backs of Wang De's cavalry and said secretly: "Liu Guangshi, one of the four Zhongxing generals of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, could not fight a tough battle, but he had a clever trick for recruiting surrenders and rebels."
"I don't expect that after Liu Guangshi gets the items I gave him, he will really be able to persuade the Xia soldiers guarding Xingqing Mansion to surrender to the Song Dynasty. The city gates will be opened wide to surrender to the Song Dynasty; because this possibility is low!"
"However, according to my plan, through this series of operations, the Xia army generals guarding the enemy's capital, Xingqing Mansion, will inevitably be shaken in morale and morale. It will be extremely conducive to our powerful forces in the Great Song Dynasty, which have high morale, to quickly break through in a blitzkrieg manner. Enemy city!”
…
"Report!"
"Let's report to the officials, Han Liangchen's department has sent good news!"
"After his troops landed on the beach, they marched quickly until they arrived three miles away from the north city of Xingqing Prefecture. On the road, they met a group of elite cavalry of the Xia Army, guarding a frail and beautiful teenager in his teens like stars holding the moon, riding on horseback. Flying to the northwest..."
"It seems that he really wants to escape from that dangerous and deadly place as soon as possible before the capital city of Xia Kingdom is surrounded and conquered by our Song Dynasty official army!"
"Han Liangchen issued a military order to pursue the Xia Army cavalry squad that fled northwest... and achieved a great victory!"
After listening to the latest battle report, Zhao Ji became suspicious of the true identity of the frail and beautiful young man who was being protected like a star.
