The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 440 Long Live the Emperor

The imperial envoy Wen Tianxiang looked serious.Standing in front of the incense table, he read aloud: "Today, the Mongolian army is going south. It invaded the land of the Song Dynasty. Xiangfan was the first to bear the brunt. Our army and people in Xiangfan are united. In the Xiangyang Military Region, General Lv Wende, deputy envoy and general Lv Wenhuan of Xiangyang Prefecture Under the leadership. Fight the enemy bravely. Block the enemy outside the city. It is a model of our court. In recognition of Xiangfan's prestige. A special gift of 250 million yuan. Reward the soldiers and civilians of the two places. Encourage them. General Lu Wenxin, commander of the Heitan Regiment of the Xiangyang Military Region .War against the Mongol Conqueror Marshal Ashu. Increased the morale of our army. Fulfilling the mission. He was named General Polu. He was given a gold belt. He was awarded the rank of fourth rank. Commander Lu Shikui of Xiangyang Military Region No.16 was at the front of the enemy. Commanded properly. Special gifts of purple badges and gold belts. I hope that the soldiers and civilians of the two cities will continue to work hard. Protect the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. To achieve greater achievements. I respect this."

Lu Wende and others paid homage again and said: "The minister Lu Wende, the minister Lu Wenhuan, and the minister Lu Wenxin thanked the emperor for his kindness. The emperor's kindness is mighty. The ministers and others will be smashed to pieces. To repay your majesty's kindness, to repay the love of the court."

"Lord Lu accepts the order."

After Lu Wende got up.Taking the imperial decree from Wen Tianxiang, he said: "Master Wen, Lord Shi, and Lord Li. The three of you have been exhausted all the way. In Lu's opinion, everyone should rest for one night. It is not too late to discuss important matters tomorrow."

Wen Tianxiang said: "Okay, Mr. Lu. I will discuss it tomorrow morning."

A commendation for Xiangyang.I have carefully considered it.Lv Wende and Lv Wenhuan were the top officials in the feudal border.But there is no outstanding combat exploits yet.but.Since there is an imperial envoy to go.Some rewards should be given.Therefore, I awarded the award to Lu Wenxin and Lu Shikui of the Lu family.

I don't want the same history as the original.The Lu family and the court were suspicious of each other.Generals who support their own self-respect have always been tabooed by the court.Yue Fei in the early Southern Song Dynasty is the most typical example.The war begins.It is a big taboo for monarchs and ministers to be jealous.I certainly wouldn't make this mistake.Although the Lu family has been operating in Xiangfan for more than ten years.Has come into its own.But I still believe in the loyalty of the Lu family to me.

It was late at night.Although tired all day.Lu Wende was lying on the bed but tossing and turning.can not sleep. "Your Majesty has sent three important ministers to the court. It is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Xiangyang City. However, is His Majesty dissatisfied with me? It is open to question. Reuse the Lu family. Will these make His Majesty think in his heart." Lu Wende thought.Until dawn.Lu Wende just fell asleep in a daze.

After breakfast at Shuaifu.Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty and the other three inspected Xiangfan according to His Majesty's order. The intention is to enhance the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in Xiangfan and Xiangfan. In addition, Your Majesty has clear instructions on military matters. Sir Shi, you can talk about it first."

Lu Shimeng on the side placed the military map of Xiangyang City on the table.Shi Yanzhi said: "Master Lu. Please look at the map. The closest to Xiangyang is Yingzhou in the south and Suizhou in the east. At present, there are more than 6000 people in the General Zhang Shun's Department of the Lin'an Military Region in the Yingzhou area. Master Chen Yi of the Navy There are more than 3000 people in the Ministry. According to His Majesty's will. Before the end of the year, all the officers and men of the third division of Wu Songhan's reorganization in the Lin'an Military Region will arrive in Yingzhou. Before March next year, the merged Jianghuai Military Region will first send a military force to Suizhou At that time, our army's strength in Xiangyang will reach about 10. And when the battle of Xiangyang enters a state of intertwining, His Majesty will lead the Imperial Forest Army to come here. After that, look at the progress of the battle of Xiangyang. Maybe there will be more More reinforcements are here."

"What. His Majesty will personally conquest." Lu Wenxin said excitedly.As the number one master in the Xiangyang Army.Lu Wenxin's level is not enough.Therefore, I have not seen the true face of the current emperor with my own eyes.But since he got the Polu War Knife.Lu Wenxin had a very strong interest and affection for me, the emperor.

Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty has indeed said this personally."

"Inappropriate." Lu Wenhuan said. "Xiangfan has gathered tens of thousands of Mongolian troops. Sir Wen, you should persuade Your Majesty. Don't take risks lightly."

Li Beiyang smiled slightly and said, "Lord Lu, you are not ignorant of His Majesty's temperament. The things His Majesty decides will not be easily changed."

Lu Wende nodded and said: "That's right. Although His Majesty is gentle and can listen to other people's suggestions, he is extremely firm. Wen Huan. We just need to try our best to drag the Mongolian army under the city of Xiangyang. It is fine for His Majesty to command the battle in the area of ​​Yingzhou. "

Shi Yanzhi said: "We also persuaded His Majesty that day, but His Majesty said that I have an army of hundreds of thousands. And there are like clouds of good generals. Could it be that we can't protect His Majesty's safety?"

Lu Wenxin said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so proud. He is indeed the wise king of the Great Song Dynasty. My lords, when His Majesty personally marched, the last general led the black charcoal regiment to protect him. He must not let His Majesty suffer any damage."

Shi Yanzhi said: "General Lu is highly skilled in martial arts. There is such a good general. Your Majesty is also very happy."

Lu Wenxin said happily: "The final general has to thank His Majesty for the gift. With the Polu War Saber, the final general is no longer afraid of Su Luding, the Ashu."

"Report." The voice of the guard outside asked suddenly.

"Come in."

"Commander. The Mongols are shelling the East Gate again."

Wen Tianxiang said: "General Lu, then I will go to the east gate together."

Lu Wenhuan said: "Master Wen, the Mongols have a lot of trebuchets. Let's wait until the war is over."

"It doesn't matter. Master Lu. Aren't the soldiers on the tower also standing firm?"

Lu Wenhuan saw that Wen Tianxiang did not seem to be lying: "That's good. Mr. Wen is a civil servant. He has such courage. Lu admires it."

East of Xiangyang City.The stones emitted by the Mongolian trebuchet kept hitting the city wall and the bunkers on the tower.Most of the defenders withdrew the towers.Hide in the bunker.Lu Shikui, who was still standing on the city wall, saw Lu Wende and others coming from afar.Quickly and carefully avoid the flying stones.come forward.He stopped and said, "Commander, it's dangerous here."

Lu Wende paused and said, "Three lords. Right here. Shi Kui. Come here. See the imperial envoy."

"Imperial envoy." Lu Shikui called secretly.Immediately stepped forward to salute and said: "Lu Shikui, commander of the No. 16 compartment of the Xiangyang Military Region, has seen the imperial envoy."

"General Lu. As expected of a general. A young man is born from a hero." Wen Tianxiang praised.

Shi Yanzhi smiled: "Master Kui, do you still remember this old man?"

"Master Shi."

"Hehe. That's right. When I saw you back then, I was still a child in my teens. In a blink of an eye, it's been almost 20 years. Shi Kui. Let me introduce you. This is the Imperial Envoy. Wen Tianxiang, President of the Political Council people."

"I will meet Mr. Wen at the end." Regarding Wen Tianxiang's name.Most of the younger generation know it.The number one scholar appointed by Emperor Lizong back then.only.Lu Shikui had heard of his name but had never seen him in person.

"This is Mr. Li Beiyang, the envoy of the navy."

"The general will meet Master Li at the end."

"Good." Wen Tianxiang praised.Said to Lu Wende. "General Lu is a hero."

"Adults laugh."

Lu Shikui said: "My lords, it's dangerous here. You should go back to the commander's mansion first. After the battle is over, the general will greet all your lords."

Wen Tianxiang said: "It's okay. General Lu. You go up to command the battle. Wait until the battle is over. Let's go to the city to have a look."

After Lu Shikui left.About a quarter of an hour passed.The Mongol trebuchets stopped roaring.Wen Tianxiang and others were accompanied and protected by Lu Wende and a group of imperial guards.Boarded the east gate of Xiangyang City.

"Zhao Wan. Quickly clear the battlefield. Greet the imperial envoy."

"Imperial envoy. What imperial envoy?" said Zhao Wan who hadn't reacted yet.

Er Gou, the captain of the messenger next to Lu Shikui, was quite clever.Upon seeing this, he immediately notified the soldiers on the city wall.

"The imperial envoy came to visit us. The emperor sent someone to visit us." All of a sudden.There were thunderous cheers on the tower.

Wen Tianxiang smiled.Came among the soldiers: "Soldiers of the No. 16 chamber. You have worked hard. Today, the official Wen Tianxiang, as the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, came to Xiangyang to visit everyone on behalf of the emperor. Visit all the soldiers of the Xiangyang army who are defending our dynasty Your Majesty said. The Xiangyang Army is the most capable of fighting tough battles in our army. It is the elite of our dynasty. It is also the army that the emperor is most assured of. The peace of the tens of millions of people in our Great Song Dynasty. You are heroes. You are the real heroes of our Great Song Dynasty."

"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

"The Great Song Dynasty must win. The Great Song Dynasty must win."

"We are heroes. The emperor said it himself. We are heroes." The soldiers in the city were very excited.Can't help shouting repeatedly. "Long live the emperor. Great Song will surely win."

"All brave soldiers of the Xiangyang Army." Wen Tianxiang gestured with his hand.After everyone quieted down, he continued. "Come here this time. First, I was entrusted by the emperor. I was entrusted by the court. I came to visit you. Second, the emperor entrusted me to solve practical problems for the army and people in Xiangyang. What difficulties do you have, what needs do you have? If you have any suggestions, you can go through your superiors. Submit them to the Senate Office of the Xiangyang Military Region. General Lu Shimeng, the counselor of the Military Region, will handle it personally. If it exceeds the scope of power and responsibility of the Xiangyang Military Region, it will be reported to the imperial court by the governor of your military region, Mr. Lu. The Military Council. The emperor will personally intervene. As long as it does not violate the laws of our dynasty, the court will try to solve it for you. For this reason, the emperor instructed. The anti-corruption agencies on the front line can accept complaints from soldiers. If you feel that your superiors If there is anything wrong, you can also file a complaint through the ICAC. In short, the emperor’s intention is very clear. The soldiers are fighting bloody battles. They are bleeding and sweating at the front. We must not let them cry while they are bleeding.”

"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

The simple soldiers on the tower could hardly conceal the excitement in their hearts.But I don't know how to express it.I can only use the simplest sentence "Long live the emperor" to express my heart's feelings.

This is an era of imperial power.The emperor can personally care about the soldiers in front.Whether true or not.Wen Tianxiang's speech made me, the emperor, instantly gain the love and trust of the Xiangyang Army.
