The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 174 Exile overseas
Zhao Youfu left Bianjing City, except for hiding for a few days.

At the same time, he also came here for Liang Xin to encourage Song Jun to fight hard.

As long as the scale of Xixia's war is large enough, people in Bianjing will not be interested in discussing clan matters.

When Zhao Youfu arrived, Liang Shicheng also arrived, bringing with him [-] elite troops.

As soon as the two met, everyone around them stayed away, and the two hid in a quiet place in the military camp.

"Brother, why are you here suddenly?"

Zhao Youfu sighed slightly: "While my brother is away from Bianjing, our brother Xin can do a lot of things. He hides behind the dragon wall and presides over the government affairs for the officials. A few days ago, the clan used the clan to hide the armor. Nearly a thousand officers had reasons, so they gave me the official's sword, and I went to kill more than 200 members of the clan."

"Two, two, more than 200?" Liang Shicheng was also shocked.

Originally, he thought that his son's marriage in Bianjing would be a time to enjoy wealth.Who wants to be so fussy.

Zhao Youfu added: "This is an edict written by our brother Xin. It provides heavy rewards to the Xi Army, the Hehuang Army, and the Yongxing Army. It also rewards dozens of generals and promotes hundreds of military attachés. All soldiers will be rewarded heavily. No matter how much the stone fort earns, a bunch will be given as a gift to the officials, and the rest will be used to reward the soldiers, and then they will be allowed to fight with Xixia."

Liang Shicheng felt like his head was covered with sweat.

He no longer understands his son at all, he feels so strange.

Zhao Youfu continued: "Brother Xin said that if possible, send troops to surround Xixia's important towns, lure Xixia to rescue them, and then ambush the Xixia soldiers. We must have a record of killing more than [-] enemies."

"This issue."

Neither of them is the kind of person who can fight.

When it comes to calligraphy and painting, Liang Shicheng is still quite good. When it comes to appraising treasures, Zhao Youfu has his own skills.

But they can't fight.

But there are people who can.

The two discussed for a while, but instead of gathering together, they just brought Lu Huiqing and Zhe Keshi.

That sword must not be given to Zhe Keshi. It must be placed in a bright place and four Forbidden Army guards must be sent.

Liang Shicheng first promised: "General, everything is helpful. If you can make the official family happy, the miscellaneous family will thank you deeply."

Zhe Keshi didn't answer, just looked at the edict silently, and what came to his mind was the map of this area.

edict.

The Zhe family has countless copies of the edict stored at home.

Zhe Keshi has never seen such a tough person.

In the previous edicts, even if they were going to fight Xixia, even if it was a few years ago, the battle of Pingxia City was almost a bloody millstone, the tone in the edicts had a hint of... cowardice.

And this time, tough.

Incomparably tough.

Money, food, ordnance, full support, requesting to let go of the fight. If they are defeated, one hundred thousand forbidden troops in Bianjing City are ready to go out to support at any time, and they must show the majesty of the Song Dynasty.

Zhe Keshi turned his head and glanced at the sword placed on the tribute table.

Official's sword.

Zhe Keshi opened his mouth but didn't speak. He didn't dare to say anything.

Because according to his deduction, the most suitable thing is to go there...to surround Xiazhou with troops.

At this time, Lu Huiqing spoke: "I think we can attack Xiazhou, which is an important town in Xixia, and then recapture Lingzhou and overwhelm Yinzhou."

Yinzhou is the name of the Song Dynasty, and the Xixia people call it Xingqing Mansion.

That is, the royal city of Xixia.

Xixia is no better than the Song Dynasty, and there are only a few truly valuable cities.

After hearing this, Zhe Keshi said in a low voice: "I can't do it alone. I don't dare to conquer Yinzhou. I just want to surround Xiazhou."

"Here, there are people here to move troops, but it is not written in the edict. One hundred thousand imperial troops are ready for reinforcements at any time."

"Please, Commander-in-Chief, send troops for support." Zhe Keshi only said this.

"Wait, wait a minute." Although Zhao Youfu lacked confidence, he still pulled out a book.

Book title "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

At this time, I felt angry about what I was going to say, but I endured it.After all, Zhao Youfu came with an official sword and an edict at this time, so he couldn't afford to offend him.

Zhao Youfu flipped through it quickly: "Look at this paragraph. It's very interesting to me. Zhuge Liang deceived Sima Yi and asked Sima Yi to intercept his food road, and then set up an ambush. What we mean is that we didn't steal the Xixia army's food and grass. Isn’t it a plan to set up a trap for them to snatch back?”

count?
Zhe Keshi snatched the book Zhao Youfu was reading and looked through it carefully.

He got it.

What kind of trick does Zhao Youfu know? This is a trick within a trick. He is still surrounding Xiazhou, but if the Xixia people feel that this is a trick, and then lure the Xixia people to seize food, then they can find a more perfect place to set up a big trap for the Xixia people. If the ambush is to the west, we can rely on the soldiers and horses of Zhongshi Dao and Hehuang.

Beat the drums and gather the generals!
This plan can be regarded as a thousand-mile plan.

Xiazhou is about three hundred miles north of Yanzhou.

Lingzhou is in the northwest, about four hundred miles away.

For the main battlefield, he chose a place south of Shibao and north of Qingzhou, not in Xixia, but fifty miles south of the border.It is about four hundred miles away from Yanzhou, that is, further west.

This area, connected together, is a land of thousands of miles.

At least 20 soldiers and horses need to be mobilized, and the main force of the Western Army needs to be no less than [-] soldiers to come to help. Only then can we confidently destroy the Xixia Army that comes to seize food.

This is three hundred miles south from Xixia Yingli Prefecture and the main force of the Xixia Army.

The Xixia people will definitely take the bait.

In this way, Zhe Keshi borrowed all the current printed copies of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from Zhao Youfu and only went to Baidi City.But for Zhekeshi, that's enough.

He read this book as a military book.

Ben is a famous general.

Reading this book is a unique experience.

This is not a Mandarin version.

Let’s talk about Bianjing City.

The envoys from the Liao Kingdom arrived, taking with them the envoys from Xixia.

Taichang Temple of the Song Dynasty greeted them with courtesy.

Where is Zhao Ji?

When welcoming envoys from Liao and Xixia in Taichang Temple, he was listening to a play in Taoyuan Pavilion.

This is a play from Jiangnan.

For Zhao Ji, it is a new thing. It is temporarily named Nan Opera. It is somewhat different from the original Zaju in Bianjing City. Although some of the singing content of Zhao Ji is the dialect of Jiangnan area, Zhao Ji can barely understand it, but Because this is a brand new mode, it also feels very interesting.

As for how much blood the clan shed.

Zhao Ji didn't even have a number at hand.

No one reported the eunuchs in the palace, and no one mentioned them in the court. The only thing Zhao Ji knew was that those relatives who dared to peek at his throne had been dealt with.

He can play happily again.

Liang Xin was on the dock at this time, seeing Zhang Dun off.

Zhang Dun was demoted and exiled overseas because of the secret agreement he had with Princess Zhu.

As for King Jian, Zhao Ji was very tolerant. He just scolded him a few words and then ordered him to live peacefully at home. Concubine Zhu moved to a more remote place in the palace, with only an old nanny and two other concubines. An old maid brought from home.

Bai E was promoted to the chief steward of the palace and was in charge of all matters in the palace.

On the dock, Zhang Dun looked solemn.

He wanted to persuade Liang Xin, but seeing how immersed Liang Xin was in chatting with his fourth son Zhang Yuan, he gave up the idea of ​​persuading her.
