Li Xian knew the book and understood the words of "hundred hectares of fertile land", which is what Jiang Wei said.
What Zhang Yue meant by quoting this is that there are so many capable ministers and famous people in the court, but there are so many people who can take over as prime ministers, so one or two of them don't care about me anymore.
Now that I have Yuanzhi (tuntian) in Xizhou, I am not anxious to return to the court to serve in the imperial court soon.
Li Xian was secretly impressed after hearing this. No wonder the emperor, Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu all valued him so highly.
Li Xian immediately said: "Thank you, Cardinal, for informing us. We understand."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "That's serious."
After the two drank several glasses of wine, Zhang Yue and Li Xian rode back to Xizhou together.
All the generals in Xizhou greeted Li Xian at the city gate, and even Gao Zunyu, who was in Huizhou, was also present.
Gao Zunyu usually ignored him when calling him, but he heard that Li Xian was here to give him a reward, so he ran first.
Zhang Yue had just met Gao Zunyu yesterday when he returned to Xizhou.
This time the two governments discussed their merits. The first one ranked was Gao Zunyu, who defeated the 30,000 Xia army under Dingxi City. Zhang Yue, the commander, was ranked second. The third one was Wen Jifu, who had defended the isolated city of Hezhou for half a year.
Regarding this, everyone in Xihe unanimously praised the two governments for their thoughtful and meticulous arrangements, which can be described as being selfless.
Zhang Yue had already learned in advance that Gao Zunyu had been appointed as the training envoy of the Huizhou regiment, and informed Huizhou that all four compartments of the Longshen Guard were commanding envoys.
Wen Jifu was promoted to the right to admonish.
But now the person with the highest official position in Xihe Road is Mu Zheng, who has entered Beijing to face the Holy Spirit. He has been named the Defense Envoy of Jiazhou and given the surname Zhao Sizhong. His wife and children have each received awards.
Seeing that it was Li Xian who came to confer an official position, all the civil and military officials were beaming with joy, with smiles on their faces. However, the former successor Wang Zhongzheng left Xizhou silently the day before Li Xian arrived.
.
Li Xian saw hundreds of powerful generals personally greeting them outside Xizhou City. These people had gone through countless battles and small battles, and they were all crawling out of the dead. They were not comparable to the fancy imperial guards in Beijing.
But Li Xian has indeed seen the big scenes, and there is nothing wrong with him. After reporting the names one by one, he can tell the other party's military exploits and proud things.
This made these generals feel flattered.
It seemed that Li Xian knew about it, which also meant that the officials knew about it.
Everyone welcomed Li Xian and entered the city gate.
Along the way from the city gate to the Jinglue Mansion, Zhang Yue's soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty rode on horseback to the left and right. Along the way, they could see bright swords and guns, dazzling armor, and flying flags.
Li Xianzhizhang deliberately let himself see his military appearance so that he could say good things in front of the emperor. However, he saw that all the soldiers along the way were full of energy and their military appearance was solemn. Without looking closely, he could tell that they were a long-term army coming down from the battlefield.
The victorious teacher.
Five thousand troops marched for review.
Seeing this scene, Li Xian sincerely praised him: "They are indeed an elite division! The Cardinal has been in charge of the army for three years, and he has combined the troops of the Tibetan and Han Dynasties into one army, and has trained a strong army."
Zhang Yue and other officials on the left and right were all honored.
Zhang Yue stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Zifan, please inspect the troops and horses on behalf of the emperor!"
Li Xianli said: "We don't dare to do it. Please ask the Cardinal to go first, and we will follow."
Zhang Yue tried to persuade Li Xian several times, but Li Xianjian refused to let Zhang Yue take the lead.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue took it upon himself to do so, and asked his left and right officers to hold their own flags and tooth flags, and he rode forward on the road. Li Xian and other generals followed him to review the victorious troops returning from Hezhou.
army.
Li Xian rode his horse Xu Xing behind Zhang Yue and felt deep in his heart that for several years after he returned to Bianjing from Xihe, the court had been arguing endlessly about whether troops should be used against Xihe.
Can the Song army fight? Can they win? Such questions have never stopped.
The question is to waste people and money and not fight, otherwise the country will be destroyed if we fight.
But these princes who spoke highly in the temples came to cross the Xihe River? Have they seen the elite soldiers and generals on this road? Did the soldiers on the Xihe Road agree?
Looking at the moving flags and the majestic and mighty soldiers, Li Xian was filled with emotion in his heart, but he heard a commotion in front of him.
It turned out that the Song soldiers in front touched the ground with the tail of their guns and stepped on the ground with their feet in a rhythmic manner.
A mohu voice sounded.
Li Xian sounded like he was calling Xingzhou.
Immediately, another voice rang out: "Xingzhou!"
After a while, countless voices sounded like waves from all directions, and finally merged into two words.
"Xingzhou!"
"Xingzhou!"
Xingzhou is the name of the Han people, but Xixia calls it Xingqingfu, which is the pseudo-capital of Xixia.
The soldiers of the Xihe Army spoke louder and louder, and finally the three armies stopped and shouted in unison.
"Xingzhou!"
"Xingzhou!"
"Xingzhou!"
Hot sounds came from all directions, and even Li Xian had tears in his eyes at this moment.
At this moment, Zhang Yue was a little touched in his heart. He arranged for all the soldiers to line up for inspection, which was also a proper etiquette in the officialdom, so that Li Xian would not waste the rewards from the Xihe Army when he was about to award the rewards.
But I didn't expect this scene to happen.
Zhang Yue turned around and saw Li Xian's eyes filled with tears, and thought that the effect was too good.
However, at this moment, the three armies are calling for an attack on Xingzhou!
Although Zhang Yue had no intention of attacking Xingzhou at the moment, he had no choice but to take action at this moment.
The eagerness of countless people has been condensed into an iron will. At this moment, even Zhang Yue, the coach, cannot go against the will of everyone.
Looking at the familiar faces and the boiling and burning emotions, Zhang Yue's heart surged, and the war horse under his crotch felt the mood of his master and moved faster and faster.
Zhang Yue, who was not good at horsemanship, reined in his horse, but the horse stood up and neighed unwillingly.
Then Zhang Yue raised his fist and thrust towards the north, in the direction of Xingzhou. This scene was very similar to the famous painting of Napoleon riding a horse over the Alps. In response to the shouts of the three armies from all directions, he roared at the top of his lungs: "Xingzhou!
"
"Xingzhou!"
After receiving the promise, the soldiers of the three armies cheered warmly and raised their swords to the sky like a forest.
Zhang Yue's horse hit the ground with its front hooves and galloped forward uncontrollably. Zhang Yue saw fanatical faces flying past his eyes.
Zhang Yue raised his riding whip and saluted the three armies on his horse's back, then whipped the riding whip and sent the horse galloping.
The strong wind whistled in my ears, the air became hot in an instant, and the blood all over my body boiled at that moment.
Li Xian and other Xihe Road officials were shocked when they saw this scene. They immediately whipped their horses and chased after Zhang Yue. Hundreds of horses kicked up dust and galloped past like a long dragon.
Zhang Yue rode his horse to the Jinglue Mansion and almost fell when he turned over and dismounted. He was sweating profusely. This completely disrupted his plan, but he was very excited.
Li Xian was the second to arrive after Zhang Yue. When he saw Zhang Yue, he said with excitement on his face: "Prince, when I asked you to attack Xingzhou, His Majesty said you were reluctant. Now... Your Majesty knows it must be
joy."
Zhang Yue was stunned, and then said: "Sooner or later, Xingzhou will be captured!"
Li Xian smiled and said: "Your Majesty must be pleased that the Cardinal has this intention."
Li Xian then recalled the scene he had just seen and the high morale of the Xihe army. He thought that with such a powerful and famous general, why worry about the injustice of Hehuang and the unbreakable state of Xia. He decided to write a letter and report everything here to the emperor.
After the two of them entered the White Tiger Festival Hall and sat down, everyone gathered under the hall.
