Yun Zheng gathered around a man who was wearing iron armor, had impressive equipment, was extremely handsome, and exuded a heroic aura from top to bottom, admiring and admiring him. From time to time, he stood next to the guy to compare his height, and finally took a photo.
He patted this man on the shoulder and asked Zou Tong, who had come from afar.
"Where did you find this guy? He should have been sent to the military camp, not my home, right? My wife is a bit confused. If she identifies the wrong person, I can burn the whole city of Tokyo."
Zou Tong curled his lips and said: "Don't worry, this was picked out from among the eunuchs. Even if it is sent to your home, it is a favor from the officials to you. It is definitely not something to be ashamed of.
It is said that Si Tianjian is very worried about you and Di Shuai. A few days ago, a big star fell in the wild. Si Tianjian said it was ominous. Your Majesty quickly took a shower and changed clothes. He went to the ancestral temple to pray for the country and put incense on it.
I just pray that the generals at the border of the Song Dynasty will not be robbed, but it is strange to say that Si Tianjian calculated your birth date and couldn't find the result. It doesn't make sense, and I don't know what happened.
And your appearance, at first glance, looks very ordinary, but it is very difficult to find someone who looks like you. If not for Empress Shu, she said that she had seen a eunuch guarding the garden with you in the palace.
It's so similar that the officials almost gave up.
Di Shuai is more handsome, but he found as many as six substitutes. This is the only one you have here, so the official family treated this eunuch as a treasure and asked me to send it to you. I hope this person can help
You prevent a disaster!"
Yun Zheng smiled and continued to look around the trembling eunuch. Then he smiled at Li Chang and said, "I don't believe that if a star falls, it will kill the general. But
I have truly felt His Majesty’s kindness. Lao Li, for the sake of your safety, please follow Zou Tong back to help me thank Your Majesty. The grassland is now in turmoil. I guess a war is not far away. Don’t forget
Yes, you are also a general."
Li Chang laughed and said: "I am a supervisor of the army and will not go to the battlefield, but I very much hope that I can die in the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather. In this way, the Li family finally has a guy who can go to the history of the country, and all the sects will be proud of it."
I feel relieved.”
Yun Zheng looked at the generals standing in the tent again, asked the eunuch to change his clothes, knocked on the table and said: "In the future, I can only be the one standing behind you on the battlefield, and I won't be the one who pees when he hears the sound of war drums."
Eunuch wearing trousers, the war is urgent, who has time to do those fancy things, their main purpose is to kill us, not just me."
Li often saw that Zou Tong had a bad look on his face, thinking that the commander had offended him by saying that eunuchs would wet their pants in battle, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Zou is used to wind and rain, so naturally he is not afraid of swords and arrows."
Zou Tong replied angrily: "Don't try to smooth things over for him. His dog's mouth can never spit out ivory. Our family has long been used to it. What he looks down on is the eunuch who is acting as a substitute, not our family. This
I still know."
Yun Zheng clicked his lips and said: "Just hold it down, there are many people who peed their pants in battle. As long as people who have not personally been on the battlefield can never understand that kind of coercion, how can they still be able to do it after peed their pants?
Those who charged forward with knives were all heroes. To be honest, I was holding back the urge to urinate when I entered the battle in the first battle. I also asked Di Shuai and he said that he was the same. In addition to being naturally stupid and bold, that kind of person is very
Rare."
Li Dongchu stepped forward, cupped his fists and asked Yun Zheng for instructions: "Commander Qi, the picnic has been prepared. Would you like to invite the distinguished guests to take a seat?"
Yun Zheng looked at Zou Tong and said with a smile: "You are here, so I won't neglect you. I told you in advance that we only have roast sheep here at the border. If you are not used to it, just be patient. I will treat you to a good meal when I return to the capital."
Zou Tong sneered and said: "If I want to eat good food, I will go to your house by myself. Could it be that if you, the head of the household, are not around, my wife won't entertain me?"
Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "My little wife was born as a bandit, and she is very good with a gun and a stick. If you go there and try it, I can't beat you to death!"
Amid the laughter of everyone, we all came to the city wall. On the city wall, the north wind was whistling, mixed with snow particles. Apart from some warriors standing like javelins, the only thing left on the city wall was the clanging war flags.
A banquet was already set up on the watchtower, and seven or eight large charcoal pots were burning inside. It was not too cold.
Yun Zheng waved his hand and said to Li Dongchu: "The people here are all our officials from the Song Dynasty. Don't do this. If the brothers guard the city wall like this, they will freeze to death before the enemy comes. Just do whatever you want. No.
You have to show off to the imperial envoy."
Li Dongchu smiled awkwardly and called over a deputy guard to whisper a few words. The deputy guard whistled and saw that only a few thickly dressed soldiers were left among the soldiers standing on the city wall.
The rest went into the cave to keep warm.
Yun Zheng nodded and then invited Zou Tong to enter the enemy tower together.
Everyone sat down according to the host and guest positions. A young soldier quickly took the meat from the roast lamb on the shelf with a small knife in his hand. He dipped it in the sauce and put it on everyone's plates. He also placed it on everyone's plates.
Place a green garlic sprout on the plate as a garnish.
Yun Zheng raised his glass and said: "It shouldn't be so simple, but it was like this when I was running the army. My subordinates ate whatever I ate, so it had to be like this. Eunuch Zou, you are His Majesty's imperial envoy.
It’s very crude, so please don’t take it personally!”
Zou Tong raised his glass and responded: "This old slave is His Majesty's eyes and ears. Everything he hears and sees must be conveyed to Your Majesty. When I came to Yanmen Pass, I only saw the heroic pass, warriors, famous generals and powerful enemies. I heard the high-spirited shouts of the generals killing the enemy."
Sound, as for what I eat, I really don’t care. As Yun Shuai said, if you want to eat good food, don’t come to Yanmenguan to eat. This is the lifeblood of the people and the throat of our Song Dynasty. It’s not just about eating, drinking and having fun.
In this place, I will first offer this glass of wine to the martyrs of the Song Dynasty who died here."
After saying that, he stood up and spilled the wine in the glass on the ground. Yun Zheng and others also did the same. Li Dongchu probably thought of his brothers who died in the battle before. After pouring a glass of wine, he couldn't help crying!
Everyone ate in silence for a while. Suddenly, Wu Jie drew his sword and struck the table. He opened his mouth and sang: "I am so angry that I rush to my head. I lean on the balcony, and the misty rain stops. I look up and look up to the sky and howl, and my heart is strong."
Intense. Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait for a moment. The young man's head will turn gray, and it will be empty and sad.
The shame of good water has not yet snowed; the hatred of ministers, when will it be extinguished? Driving a long chariot, trampling through the gap in the Helan Mountains. The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and laugh and drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty. Let's start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky."
Wu Jie sang a line of the song "Man Jiang Hong" written by Yun Zheng in the past, and the rest of Wu Shengjun's old troops sang in unison. Even Li Chang and Zou Tong tapped their chopsticks on the table and sang along. When the song was finished, everyone just felt the joy in their chests.
The depression was swept away, and I wished that the Liao people would come to pass now so that I could vent the blood in my chest.
The excitement of drinking also increased. Li Chang composed a poem and was applauded and cheered by everyone. He was very proud of himself. Wu Jie and Chu Dazhi were both well-educated people, so they naturally followed the poem. Li Dongchu had not recited poems for many years and was a little jerky, so he sang a Daizhou tune.
Naturally, everyone cheered more and more, and received rave reviews. When it came to reciting poems, Su Shi couldn't sit still. Listening to these people casually chanting some unpopular poems, he couldn't help but twitch his index fingers. He was just about to stand up and compose a poem, so that these people could sing.
He understood what poetry was, but Yun Zheng grabbed him and threatened him with his eyes not to go out. After repeated attempts, he had to sit beside Yun Zheng in depression and listen to these people boasting and complimenting each other in the most disgusting language.
.A strong sense of injustice arose spontaneously as Huang Zhong destroyed the cauldron and thundered. He glanced at Yun Zheng's sharp eyes, and had no choice but to stuff mutton into his mouth desperately. He thought that his thoughts were already welling up at this time, and he didn't need to suppress them with mutton.
After a while, those good things will come out of your belly on their own.
He knew that in the eyes of his teacher, everything in the world was a tool, including those beautiful poems and songs, so he could recite "Man Jiang Hong" and "Broken Array", and finally recited a song "Qingyu".
He was always interested in those useful poems, and had no fondness for the sad and beautiful poems written by Empress Li and Liu Sanbian, thinking that they were just a plaything to lose one's ambition.
!Unfortunately, many of the poems I wrote were also classified into this category by my husband, which made him very depressed.
A loud eagle whistle sounded at the top of the city. Yun Zheng was startled. He got up and came to the top of the city. He saw six sea turtles circling in the sky, making shrill screams around the city. Every sound seemed to be coming.
Inspire people to take action.
"Xiao Lin, how far will our scouts be sent?" Yun Zheng turned around and asked Xiao Lin, who was looking up.
"The stationary scouts are sixty miles away, and the mobile scouts are a hundred miles away!"
"When did the last scout come back?"
"The day before yesterday, the mobile scouts reported every three days, and the stationary scouts reported peace every two days!"
"Order the young army to dispatch three hundred men, disguised as Liao people, and the scouts must be placed two hundred miles away. I don't feel good today. The distance of two hundred miles is only a day's raid by the Liao cavalry."
Hearing Yunzheng express his worries, Li Dongchu whispered: "Commander, I have sent out two hundred miles from Yanmen Pass to reach Shuozhou of the Liao Kingdom. There is the Changhua Army of the Liao Kingdom, and it is the leading elite of the Liao Kingdom.
Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou, and Yunzhou are all four of the sixteen Yanyun states dedicated by Shi Jingtang to the Liao State. There are large armies gathered there, and it is not suitable for scouts to get too close."
Yun Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "Spring is coming, and the war is about to begin. This time we have to be ready to march. We just stick to Yanmen Pass. There is no need for the court to send me here. To be honest, I really want this.
