"Everyone says that the guest does not overpower the host. King Xin's head is broken and he actually leads the guest army to station at Doushaguan. Fortunately, our brothers found out in time and told the brothers to stay for a while, otherwise there would have been disputes at the foot of Baiyun Mountain by this time.
.”
Zhao Min took off his armor and muttered to Zhao Yannian across from him.
Zhao Yannian stood at the gate of the newly built camp with his arms folded, looked out and said to Wang Zhao: "The general's eyes have never tolerated sand. It is an iron law of the army not to rush into the White Tiger Festival Hall within twenty miles of the battlefield. When Marquis Yun met Di
When he was handsome, the two of them always talked at the boundary and never crossed a step.
When Yun Shuai's White Tiger Festival Hall and Di Shuai's White Tiger Festival Hall were both in the capital, although there was no longer a limit of twenty miles, they still had to climb the wall to meet each other and build their own wooden houses. They were still clearly separated.
The fur on the seats is all different. Xin Wang doesn’t know about this, and neither do you, Lao Wang? Why didn’t you warn me?”
Wang Zhao chuckled and said, "I am the commander-in-chief and I am the deputy-general. The Privy Council has divided the responsibilities very clearly. I am only responsible for leading the troops. The rest is the prince's business."
Zhao Min curled his lips and said: 'Pull him down, this man must have caused you trouble on the road, otherwise you wouldn't be so mean to him!"
Wang Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "The first forty days were spent traveling around the mountains and rivers, and the next eleven days were spent driving day and night. Would you be happy if I gave it to you? Not to mention that he actually broke my beloved war horse!
That old horse is my treasure. He saved my life during the Hebei War. He actually ordered me to let him ride the horse without even looking at how heavy his body is. I don’t even weigh as much as he does when I put on armor.
Tell me, if I don’t cheat on him, who can I cheat on?”
Zhao Min looked at Wang Zhao strangely and said, "That's an old guy. It's not too much to take such an old horse seriously. If you refuse, it's over."
Wang Zhao gritted his teeth with an unlucky look on his face and said: "It was the time when the army was about to set off. Prime Minister Pang and Prime Minister Han were all the civil and military ministers of the court. He insisted on showing his military bravery. Unfortunately, I was standing beside him. He casually
I picked up my war horse and rode on it. The whining sound of the old horse broke my heart. I gritted my teeth and was about to come over. The injured old horse came home.
I'm so tired that I'm vomiting blood, and now I don't know whether I'm dead or alive."
Zhao Yannian sneered and said: "That's just a joke in Tokyo. I don't know why Your Majesty sent him to Shuzhong. He has been embarrassed since he came. He can do whatever he likes, as long as it does not affect our military strategy."
Zhao Min smiled and said: "I am your sixth uncle, so I should give you some respect. Besides, I am a prince. I just brought you the army across the state and across the country without any equipment or food. What else do you ask for?"
.”
Zhao Yannian looked at Zhao Min and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang is not an outsider, we are all in the same boat. I leave my words here today. We can't get too close to King Xin under any circumstances, and don't tell him about Dali's military strategy.
A person who has been imprisoned for forty years can do anything. You and I both know what the royal family relationship is. Focus on fighting the war well, protect the brothers as we agreed in advance, and protect the Jianchang Mansion.
Just take it back and don't dare to think about anything else."
Seeing Zhao Yannian's solemn words, Zhao Min put away his playful smile. Zhao Yannian is the oldest among the three people and is usually the calmest. You still have to listen to what he says.
Zhang Danian has been in the Divine Guard Army for four years. He used to belong to Wu Sheng Army, but now the main force of Wu Sheng Army is stationed in Lingnan. He was homesick and signed up to join the Divine Guard Army when the Divine Guard Army was recruiting people from Wu Sheng Army.
In four years, he has been promoted from a team general to the eighth-rank Sanjie, Captain Xuanjie, by virtue of his fists and his excellent swordsmanship.
Today at Doushaguan, he saw some of his former colleagues and wanted to go over to talk to them, but was turned away by their cold expressions.
He didn't understand why the brother who used to stir up the pot was so strange now, which made him unhappy.
The army entered Doushaguan like lightning, and before they had time to take a breath, they hurried back to the military camp called Shajiaping. The faces of their own superiors were not very good-looking either. Some of the tough Western Army thought they were from the Western Army of Beijing.
The Divine Guards were not allowed to garrison at Dou Sha Pass, and the words they spoke were not pleasant to hear.
"We admit that the Jingxi Army is a strong army, but we are not weaklings either. We are all good men drawn from various armies. Who is weaker than the other, why are we not allowed to enter Douchuan Pass?
, we have to be stationed in the barren mountains and wilderness, Lao Zhang, you used to be under the command of Yun Shuai, what do you say?"
Lao Duan, who came from the Western Army, always had a hot temper and was the first to jump out and question Zhang Danian.
Zhang Danian shook his head and said: "I don't know. It has been more than four years since I left Yun Shuai's command. At that time, our name was Wu Shengjun."
He didn't want to get involved in this pointless quarrel.
Old Duan said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Jingxi Army is domineering. I have seen it. Since our army is not allowed to enter Douchuan, it is probably not illegal for us to go to Douchuan to find the young lady when we are taking a rest.
Isn’t it a taboo for the gentlemen of the Western Jingxi Army?”
Zhang Danian said coldly: "It's best not to. I knew a truth when I was in Wu Shengjun. Don't quarrel with the commander, let alone the military judge. You can avoid Douchuan and go to the brothels there, but you are not allowed.
Do this under the nose of Yun Shuai."
Old Duan laughed and said, "No one will go if you don't have eggs. You guys have never seen any battles."
Zhang Danian stood up and left. After walking halfway, he turned back and said, "I have already spoken from experience. It is up to you whether you listen or not. As far as I know, swatting a fly on a tiger's head will not end well."
After saying that, he ignored the jeers from Lao Duan and the others behind him and went to Shenwu Camp on his own. Why should he ask Commander He Guanghe, who also came from Shuzhong? He was a classmate of Yun Shuai in the past and was a scholar.
Maybe it makes more sense.
King Xin returned to the military camp with Chang Shi and his guards. There was no greeting, so naturally he did not sign up. King Xin who stayed in the army and joined the army hurriedly welcomed King Xin into his main tent and wanted to talk.
, was stopped by King Xin.
Chang Shi smiled and said: "It's no big deal. The prince already knows what happened before and after. You can continue to do your thing."
King Xin casually took off his Heavenly Crown and court uniform, threw them on the table and said with a smile: "This thing is still worthless."
Chief Shi Liu Ruyi smiled and said: "It depends on who it is. The princes of our Song Dynasty have never been valuable. It was only when the emperor was critically ill that he thought of using people from the Zhao family, whether it was Zhao Min, Zhao Yannian, or
The royal children that Yun Zheng is training are the manpower that the emperor has prepared for his five-year-old son. The prince is still born at an untimely time."
King Xin smiled and said: "The time of my birth has never been correct. You don't have to remind me in time. I know it myself.
Chang Shi, you said that I am going to beat the drum and raise the account now. Do you think those people will not come? If they don’t come, can I use military law? "
Liu Ruyi laughed and said: "Of course you can. Even if you are a nominal general, the military regulations of the Song Dynasty are clearly written. Anyone who fails to do so after three drums will be killed!"
"What should we do if a mutiny occurs because of killing?"
"Do you care about this now? The general will be absent for a long time. If a mutiny occurs for this reason, you may not be the unlucky one."
King Xin smiled and ordered his guards to beat the drum. He turned back to Liu Ruyi and said, "Our situation is bad enough, and it can't get any worse."
After a short time, the drum of raising the account was rang. He was studying with Zhao Yannian, Wang Zhao and a group of generals. Zhao Min threw down the pen in his hand and cursed: "What kind of madness are you going to get? He wants to be promoted."
What are you doing? Torturing people?"
Zhao Yannian thought for a while and asked everyone to go back and put on their armor to answer Mao. He had nothing to deal with in this matter. King Xin could do whatever he wanted. He and others had to control the army and they couldn't just treat military law as child's play.
Zhao Min saw that Zhao Yannian and Wang Zhao were already putting on their armors with frowns on their faces, so he had no choice but to put on his armor and angrily went to the Chinese army camp.
King Xin was dressed neatly, and the oversized armor on his body was indescribably funny. As the deputy general, Wang Zhao counted the number of people and then bowed and reported: "Commander Qi, I will command fifty-six of the subordinates above."
Everyone is here, please give me your instructions, Commander-in-Chief."
King Xin said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to instruct. The lonely king just wants to see if all his subordinates are here. Since they are all here, why don't you all disperse?"
Zhao Min suppressed his anger and said: "The commander has no need to beat the drum to promote the account. I will be in the Western Army for several years. Yun Shuai has not beaten the drum to promote the account more than twice. Please be aware of it!"
King Xin smiled and said: "Shuai Yun has the ability to discern the secrets of heaven. It's a pity that I don't have the ability. I have to make up for my weakness with diligence."
Chief Shi Liu Ruyi smiled and said: "Actually, what the prince wants to say, but he can't say it, let me say it. General Zhao, you come and tell the commander. The whole army is moving but he forgot to inform the commander. I don't know how this can make people happy."
Who is it that the whole army abandoned its commander and marched hastily?"
Zhao Yannian cupped his hands and said: "Our army violated the rules and rushed into Commander Yun's White Tiger Festival Hall first. In order to avoid a conflict, it was the military order issued by the general. Your Majesty has a decree and gives the general the right to do things expediently."
King Xin smiled and said to Liu Ruyi: "Let me just say that General Zhao is not the kind of person who doesn't know the rules. Since His Majesty has a decree to issue, General Zhao is not allowed to issue the decree without authorization, but I wonder if he can give the decree to me in the future?"
It’s also a good idea to try your best to cooperate with General Zhao’s orders.”
Zhao Yannian took a deep look at King Xin and said, "This is a secret decree!"
King Xin was shocked for a moment, and his fat face immediately regained his composure and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is seriously ill now, unable to move or speak, but I don't know who wrote this secret edict that cannot be seen. As far as I know,
, some time ago, the Cao family took the Queen's Yi decree to give orders to Yun Shuai, but they were hastily killed by people from the Secret Intelligence Department. Later, Sima Guang personally took back the Yi decree, and everyone in the government and the public knew it.
The matter is serious, General Zhao should take out the secret edict and let me appreciate it!" (To be continued)
