"Shi Dayong is just recovering from a serious injury, why don't you let him rest in peace, can't you transport food and ask others to go? If there is another accident, Mr. Qiu's painstaking efforts will be in vain."

Although he was not his own general, Sun Chengzong also admired Shi Dayong. After recovering from a serious injury, he still wanted to lead the army to help. This kind of dedication to serve the country really makes people feel emotional.But the words he said were tinged with sourness, and the tone behind the words was even more mocking of Qiu Hejia.

Qiu Hejia knew the real intention of Sun Chengzong's words, and the battle was imminent, so he didn't care about it, and just smiled wryly: "I don't know about the strategy, this trip was proposed by Shi Dayong himself, and the subordinate officials also persuaded him, but he insisted on it." If you want to follow the army to break the siege, the officials really can't hold him back, alas." Sighing lightly, looking at Shi Dayong's back, he shook his head helplessly.

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to support the city wall, stared at Shi Dayong's men and horses for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Qiu Hejia meaningfully, and said slowly: "Before you and Dashou When the victory was reported, I wondered where the Songshan garrison Shi Dayong came from. I had never heard of him in the army before. Later, my staff told me that you, Governor Qiu, brought him from the pass. To be honest. You said, after hearing this, my first thought was that this Shi Dayong is your governor Qiu's personal, and he must have no great skills. Most of his military exploits are due to his longevity to take into account your face, so he shared some benefits. After that There was news that Shi Dayong led the army but fled without a fight. This time, I firmly believe that Shi Dayong is a man of no real ability. I don't want Jinzhou City to go to war, but I look at it with admiration. Such bloody, loyal and brave people, In the past few years, it has become less and less." [

"Master Jinglue said that there are fewer and fewer generals like Shi Dayong who dare to fight and are not afraid of death. If there are more generals like him, why are things so difficult?" Qiu Hejia didn't ask whether Sun Chengzong was telling the truth, but what he said was the truth. If there were more Shi Dayong under his command, Governor Qiu would be able to wake up with a smile in his dream.

"When Yuan Chonghuan was in the past, there were Man Gui, Da Shou, He Kegang, Zhao Shoujiao, Ma Dengyun, Hei Yunlong and other generals under his command. Gui was killed in battle, Zhao Liaojiao was also killed in battle, Ma Dengyun and Hei Yunlong were captured, and only Dashou and Ke Gang were left to support him. In the past two years, I have found Liao affairs more and more embarrassing. This heart is just like a human being. Well, after Zhang Bingbei got out of the siege, I wondered if I should retire and return home."

Hearing that Sun Chengzong wanted to sue his old age and return home, Qiu Hejia hurriedly said: "How can Mr. Jinglue sue his old age and return home? The Liao affairs must not be separated from you, otherwise, who will take charge of this overall situation?"

"Since Mr. Qiu took office in Liaodong, he has always wanted to make progress. The court and the emperor are very optimistic about you. After I leave, it is natural that Mr. Qiu will take charge of the overall affairs of Liaodong." Sun Chengzong said with a half-smile.

Qiu Hejia said solemnly: "Compared with Mr. Jinglue, in terms of seniority, experience, or overall planning ability, the lower officials think they are not as good as Mr. Jinglue. Those who preside over the affairs of the Liao Dynasty must be important ministers. The lower officials are no more than newly promoted people. , how dare you have such a heart!"

"It's hard to say in the world. Whether I will retire or not, I have to wait for Zhang Bingbei to decide. If Zhang Bingbei is also defeated, I'm afraid I won't die if I don't." Sun Chengzong sighed, his fate He has been closely linked with Zhang Chun's army. If Zhang Chun is also defeated, his career in Liaodong may be over.

"If Dalinghe is lost, as the governor of Liaodong, the lower officials will not be able to shirk the blame. Even if the emperor does not condemn me, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division will probably scold me to death. At that time, maybe the resignation of the lower officials and Master Jinglue is just a matter of back and forth." What Qiu Hejia thought in his heart was the same as that of Sun Chengzong, and it was rare that he said the same thing at the same time as Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong said leisurely: "Whether to be an official or not is actually not a problem for you and me. It's just that the Liao incident is getting more and more corrupt, but it is undoubtedly the biggest threat to my Daming Foundation. The thousand-mile long embankment was destroyed by the Anthill, now that you have built a slave and established a country, you have entered the Kouguan Pass before, and you are eyeing our Daming country. As a subject, if you can't solve this disaster for the monarch, you will retreat, and you will be in trouble day and night."

Qiu Hejia nodded, and said in a deep voice: "My lord's words are exactly the voice of the lower official. Since I was enshrined in the royal family and served as Liao Fu, the lower official's thoughts day and night are how to use up the power of my subjects to protect my king from worrying."

"Success or failure depends on Zhang Bingbei. I hope God will not abandon me." After finishing speaking, Sun Chengzong turned to look northeast, and the flag of the army could be seen faintly several miles away.

Qiu Hejia also turned around, and stood on the left and right of Sun Chengzong, looking forward to and fearful at the same time.

After looking at it for a while, Sun Chengzong's eyes fell on Qiu Hejia's face, and he praised: "Shi Dayong is talented and loyal, but he is a good candidate. Master Qiu can use it well, and he will undoubtedly be the leader of the country in the future. Hmm , since you are determined to fulfill him, this officer is also happy to see his success. He is already a general, if this time the food delivery goes well, after returning, he will be promoted to lieutenant general with more than enough achievements in the previous bloody battle in the city."

Sun Chengzong praised his beloved general, and Qiu Hejia was naturally also happy, and said with a smile: "There is an old saying: civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death, that is the great blessing of the country. Shi Dayong once confessed his heart to the subordinate officials, and in this life he will not get rich for promotion. I only wish to wipe out the Eastern captives for me, and the reason why the lower officials use him is because of this."

Sun Chengzong nodded, then suddenly changed the topic, and said: "Since ancient times, literati have led the army. If there are not a few handy generals in the tent, and there is no army that can be mobilized at will, what can the governor do? You There is nothing wrong with reusing someone you value and entrusting him with important tasks, but you must know that the Liao Town has a long history, and the generals in Liaodong have been deeply entrenched. If you want to share some real benefits from it, you will have to move You have to be careful about the interests of others, otherwise, you will have trouble dealing with it in the army. Bi Ziyuan’s lesson is in front of you, so you have to be cautious.”

Hearing this, Qiu Hejia was stunned, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty Jinglue is overwhelmed. The purpose of supporting Shi Dayong is not to create a private army, nor is it to build a new army from scratch. It is just to promote talents for the court so that those who can do it. Anything that is feasible, other than this, the next official will read it with him."

Sun Chengzong smiled slightly: "Lord Qiu, don't worry too much. I am telling you these things just to warn you. I just want you to know the lessons learned from the past and not to repeat it." Words are good, people will go, and their words are good. Maybe I have suppressed you in some things in the past two years, but you have to know, it is just that you and I have different ideas, and it is not my official who deliberately suppressed you. Maybe, you are right Yes, I was wrong, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you and I can go through this hurdle hand in hand and save the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dalinghe City, that is the greatest good deed you and I have done during our tenure in Liaodong gone."
