I am Da Song

Chapter 79 The main battle faction
Zhao Huan and Zhang Shuye had been standing on the Xuande Gate until they witnessed countless blood-stained soldiers of the Shenwu Right Army returning solemnly along the imperial street corridor.

Neither Zhao Huan nor Zhang Shuye expected that this battle would be fought so tenaciously and for a long time. From night to day, the fighting continued, the shouts of killing reached the forbidden center, and the fire blazed into the sky.

When they went there, they lined up densely, covering both sides of the Royal Corridor. When they returned, they barely stood on one side of the Royal Corridor. The broken guns and broken armor, and the bloodstains along the way showed how tragic the battle this army had fought.

Zhang Shuye secretly clenched his fists, looked at the silent army and said to Zhao Huan: "Officials, although the casualties were heavy, but I can see that this army has not lost its morale, and it has a bit more blood and blood."

Zhao Huan nodded solemnly. The army in front of him has climbed out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. With the hatred of the Jin people, Zhao Huan believes that they can already die in battle like some armies in later generations. , Fight to the death without retreating.

However, the Jin army did not have aircraft and artillery. If they wanted to defeat this Shenwu right army, the Jin army could only fill it with flesh and blood, which was enough to break the morale of one Jin army after another.Perhaps the feeling that it is easy to shake the mountain and difficult to shake the Yue family's army appeared several years in advance.

Not long after the Shenwu right army left in formation, Yue Fei arrived in front of Zhao Huan and reported: "Officials, tonight our army beheaded more than a thousand members of the Jin army, beheaded two Jin generals, and burned more than [-] artillery pieces."

Zhao Huan looked seriously at the young general in front of him. His whole body was covered with blood, and his military uniform was already soaked in blood. own" evaluation.

Then Zhao Huan took off the sable fur worn behind his back, and regardless of the severe cold and the smell of blood, he put it on Yue Fei himself, saying: "I have waited here all night, because I am sure that no matter sooner or later, Qing will repay me with great victory. "

Yue Fei's eyes were moist, and the official's trust was so strong that even the stone man would be moved by three points.After undressing, how many national scholars in ancient times can enjoy this treatment?
Yue Fei really couldn't think of how he could repay the appreciation of the officials besides being loyal to death.He could only salute Zhao Huan heavily, and said in a solemn tone: "I only hope that I can serve the country and die forever, and I don't hesitate to return my corpse on the battlefield."

Zhang Shuye said with a smile: "I never thought that Yue Qinwei is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has a good literary talent."

Zhao Huan said with a proud smile: "That's right. Yue Qing is a hero born in the Song Dynasty, capable of writing and martial arts, comparable to Marquis Wu of the Ji Han Dynasty."

Yue Fei hurriedly cupped his hands, and said: "Your Majesty's praise, I have little talent and little learning, dare to compare with Zhuge Wuhou, such an outstanding person through the ages. The prime minister assisting the government is the good prime minister of my Song Dynasty."

Zhang Shuye waved his hand and said: "Yue Qinwei praised me, I am ashamed of myself. I led a full [-] army to fight with the Jin people for four days and four nights before beheading the two generals of the Jin army. It can be compared to what Yue Qinwei achieved in today's battle."

Zhang Shuye had no jealousy or hostility towards this young general.After all, he was already a high-ranking privy envoy in the Great Song Dynasty. No one had ascended to such a high position in the entire Great Song Dynasty for 200 years, and the trust of the officials was self-evident.

Besides, Zhang Shuye is already sixty-three this year. As the prime minister of the dynasty, he doesn't need to argue with a middle-level general. On the contrary, Zhang Shuye plans to focus on cultivating this young general, let him take over his position, and protect his family for dozens of years. year.

Yue Fei is not that upright, otherwise he would not take the initiative to give Zhang Shuye the reputation of being a good prime minister through the ages.There is a truth that everyone understands. Since ancient times, it has never been heard that a powerful minister is inside, but a general can make contributions to outsiders.

Although it is not as good as Qi Jiguang's self-proclaimed "Qi, a lackey under the door" to Zhang Juzheng, it is always right to have a good relationship with the prime minister of the current dynasty, and it will be much more convenient for both the decision-making of war defense and the allocation of food and grass.

Zhao Huan also hoped that his two confidants could work together, so he would have nothing to worry about in terms of military affairs.Energy can be diverted to other areas. After all, in the last years of the poor and weak dynasty, there are really too many things that Zhao Huan needs to pay attention to.

Regarding the follow-up of the war, combat deployment, and appeasement of the wounded soldiers, Zhao Huan asked the two confidant ministers to negotiate on their own, and then returned to the Queen's Renming Palace trembling.

Zhao Huan's cold hands and feet, with two lines of snot hanging from his nostrils, surprised Zhu Lian. He hurriedly gave up all his work, went up to him, and asked with concern, "Is the official healthy? Where is the fur he wore last night?" , how could it be frozen like this?"

Zhao Huan rubbed his hands, sniffed his nose, and said, "Give it to the minister."

Zhu Lian didn't say much, and took Zhao Huan to sit beside the charcoal pile to warm up the fire, brought another cup of hot tea into Zhao Huan's hand, and said: "This is the hot tea I just brewed. The officials warm it up first by covering it. Warm your hands. I will order the servants to make another cup for the officials to warm their bodies."

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I just drink the cup of the saint."

Zhu Lian knelt gently beside Zhao Huan, covered Zhao Huan's icy left hand, took a breath of hot air, and kept rubbing to keep Zhao Huan warm.

The bursts of hot air made Zhao Huan really feel the warmth from the empress. This gentle empress used the body temperature to dispel the coldness on her body.

After rubbing quietly for a while, Zhu Lian took the initiative to ask: "Official, is the war going well?"

Zhao Huan replied with a smile: "An unprecedented victory."

"That's great, I have always believed that the officials will definitely lead the courtiers to repel the Jin army and save the country from disaster." Zhu Lian clapped his hands excitedly.

Looking at the beautiful queen with bright eyes and kind smile, Zhao Huan felt that this cold world was indeed a little warmer.

The two sat together quietly and laughed for a while. When Zhao Huan warmed up, Zhu Lian got up and fetched a silk scarf, wiped Zhao Huan's nose, and asked: "The official's family has not slept all night, why don't you eat something hot?" Shall I go to sleep after dinner?"

Zhao Huan sighed, and said: "In Tokyo, everyone is busy from the bottom up. I rest during the day, and I always let people discuss it. Forget it, I have ordered Quanzhi to come over to Kaifeng Mansion, and I will eat breakfast at the saint's place." to deal with government affairs."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Huan blinked at Zhu Lian, and said with a teasing smile, "I will go to bed at dusk tonight, the saint remembers to wash up in time."

Two blushes gradually floated on the face of the graceful and luxurious queen, but with her gentle personality, she was strong and calm in the end, looked at Zhao Huan dotingly, and said: "I know, wait for the official to come back."

Zhao Huan, who was in a good mood, specially ordered Wang Zongmian, who brought the imperial equipment, to pack a few pieces of charcoal that had not been put into the charcoal stove before leaving, and packed it away.
