Besides, since Academician Xiao Lin sent an edict to find Li Gang to cause trouble, Zhao Guan's family went to rest. However, there was no word to speak about it all night, and Zhao Jiu had a sleepless night in this house where countless innocent souls were locked up.
Of course, fortunately it was just one night.
The next day, after Zhao Guan's family assigned Qiao Zhongfu to garrison Xiangyang and Zhang Jing to garrison Guanghua Army (today's Laohekou), the main road leading to Hanzhong, they hurriedly sent a letter to Liu Ji, asking the latter to come here immediately to take up his post, and then ordered the entire army to regroup... Of course
In order to ensure stability, a large number of reduced soldiers who had not had time to digest and reorganize were also taken away to prepare for statistics and compilation at the Yushan Camp in Nanyang. Liu Ziyu also stayed to supervise the expansion of Qiao and Zhang's second division, and to bring them back to the army.
On the roster, Wang Jun was also brought back to "debrief" and receive rewards, and he would be released after Liu Ji's side was settled.
After all, Zhao Jiu had to respect some of the 'fine traditions' of the Song Dynasty's Forbidden Army, and he also had to admit the fact that it was a troubled time. Therefore, he never expected to build the supervisory army into the team at once, but he still had to regain some power.
We should try our best to take back a little bit and make some beneficial changes to this army.
However, whether it was the generals in the imperial camp who were a little pinched by the power of the officials, or the officials themselves who felt a little uncomfortable because of the scenes of naked beasts and cannibals, and even the direct parties, Academician Xiaolin,
They all gradually relaxed their posture on the way back to the army.
After all, to put it bluntly, from every angle, this troop dispatch was a great victory and a quick victory... It only took more than ten days, and it was easy to win without consuming too many supplies. How is this?
So powerful? And with the overwhelming pressure from heavenly troops, tens of thousands of rebels collapsed. What an exciting process this is?
It should be noted that the attitude of subduing the enemy without fighting is too consistent with the values of this era.
But the most important point is that after this battle, Xiangyang was taken over, which allowed Nanyang to completely open up the land of maneuver behind it. Southeast, Bashu, Jingxiang, and the entire Song Dynasty's wealth and wealth south of the Yangtze River could pass through the natural artery of the Yangtze River.
It is continuously transported to the vicinity of the capital... The Yangtze River, the Han River, and the white water are much better than any canal and the Bianhe River!
This is a strategic victory.
Of course, as for opening up the situation, there is obviously another meaning to regaining Xiangyang, but it is tacitly understood by everyone, that is, once the Jin people launch another major march and sweep like the previous three times, the Central Plains will really
We can't hold on any longer. Nanyang is in danger, and Zhao Guan's family and his followers can always endure it a little longer if they retreat to the famous city of Xiangyang.
Nanyang and Xiangyang are one entity. The comparison of military strength between the Song and Jin Dynasties is there, and there is nothing shabby about it.
Returning to the present, he did not mention these future topics for the time being. He only said that Zhao Guan's family led troops back to Nanyang, which caught him a little off guard, because Nanyang in late April was much more lively than a month ago.
"I don't remember when the central government had so many officials?"
In the east of Nanyang City, on the bank of Baihe River, Zhao Guan's family got off their horses. They looked at the officials and people who accompanied the capital who were waiting for them many miles out of the city.
When we are in Henan University, we should never let ordinary people go out of the city to do such things and then miss the production."
"Good instructors know." Lu Haowen quickly answered seriously. "I will never dare to lie and deceive you. In fact, these days happen to be the time when talents recommended by various places gather in Nanyang one after another, waiting for the officials to come in person... And
Most of these people also had some companions, friends, and people sent by the local government to accompany them. When they heard that the officials had returned victorious, they naturally swarmed out. However, I thought that this was a first-class event after the official's victory, so it was not a big deal.
They should be prevented from coming to see the officials, and they should be temporarily included in the official class according to their civil and military status, integrity, sources of recommendation, age and height, and come here together."
Zhao Jiu suddenly understood, knowing that this matter was one of the notes he left before going on the expedition, so he no longer cared about it.
And then, without waiting for Zhao Guanjia to say anything else, Yang Yizhong, who was flanking the gentlemen, took a step away. Feng Yi led a soldier with a not outstanding physique forward, but the soldier was holding a tray.
There was a cup on the plate. The mouth of the cup was as big as a lotus root joint, and the cup was filled with wine... The soldier came directly to Zhao Jiu, knelt down on one knee and offered it to him. Not even a drop of wine was spilled.
Zhao Guanjia lowered his head and looked at it, then turned to look at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi quickly lowered his head and spoke in a low voice: "Guan family, this is the yellow plum wine sent from the Queen Mother of Yangzhou in the southeast a few days ago. I asked several of my husbands before I brought it."
Zhao Jiu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and looked at Yang Yizhong again.
When Yang Zhengfu saw the officials coming to see him, he nodded slightly as if he was invisible, but then bowed his head again.
Zhao Guanjia sighed and picked up the wine. Sure enough, he saw a yellow plum clearly visible at the bottom of the cup. He held it in front of his nose and smelled it. The fragrance was so fragrant...
But it's a pity. Zhao Guanjia didn't want to drink so much wine today. He just sniffed it briefly, then sipped it slightly, then turned around and poured the wine gently on the ground in front of him in front of countless officials and soldiers, and raised it
Sound, plausibility:
"With the grace of the Queen Mother, I can fight the soul of death in the imperial camp under Dengzhou City!"
Feng Yi did not dare to say anything, but Lu Haowen and the four other ministers hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then attracted people from the front, left, and right, both civil and military nobles, to salute together.
However, since the glass of wine had been poured out, the yellow plum was still stuck in the glass. Zhao Guanjia pinched it and put it into his mouth before anyone could raise their heads before putting the wine glass back.
A small episode, not worth mentioning. Zhao Guan's family put the cup back, Lu Haowen also led hundreds of officials to get up, and there were other procedures waiting for Zhao Jiu to go through again. After finally finishing these tedious processes, Wang
Yuan and Wang De also led the imperial army to the Yushan camp. The Zhao Guan family was preparing to leave for the city, but Lu Xianggong made another suggestion that the Zhao Guan family could not refuse.
"The official family." Lu Haowen said seriously. "The official family has fought hard, and the road was muddy and dusty. They should have rested. But among the talented people who came out today, there happened to be a virgin who escaped from the chaos in Kansai.
When he arrived in Junzhou in the west of Beijing, he was first recommended by the local magistrate as a man of integrity. After arriving in Nanyang, he was particularly appreciated by Wang Shuzhan, the Minister of Taichang Temple, and then wrote a letter to the province for recommendation... The key is that this person is already over sixty years old.
Why don't the officials publicly summon them here to see their character and knowledge, and then grant them official positions to show their respect for the elderly and love for their talents?"
Of course, Zhao Jiu had nothing to say, so he immediately ordered to summon the 'virgin scholar'.
After a moment, a gray-haired man came forward to pay a visit to Zhao Guan's family. This man was dressed richly, his courtesy was strict, and his posture was calm, but he also looked like an old man who had seen the world.
In response to this, Zhao Guanjia certainly spoke in a gentle and gentle tone. He personally stepped forward to help this person up, and then cautiously asked: "May I ask what your family's name is, and what they are good at? It doesn't matter whether you are civil or military, worker or peasant, but if you have any talent, I will not hesitate to reward you.
."
The old man raised his head and said seriously: "Good instructors know that the common man's surname is Wang and he is good at alchemy."
Zhao Jiu didn't react for a moment.
ps: Thanks to An Miao for her double alliance and Little Flying Carpet for her alliance. The latter should be Fifty-Four Meng... Ashamed.
Everyone, go to sleep quickly. I will continue coding and should be out at three or four o'clock.
