Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"What the lord said is what the lord said." Shang Zhaoyi and Chang Yuanzong clasped their hands and said, "We will protect the lord to fulfill the imperial order!"

"It will definitely." Defang supported the shoulders of the two of them, "After eating the porridge and taking a rest, we will set off for Dingzhou. Let the officers and soldiers persevere."

"Yes, my lord." Shang Zhaoyi and Chang Yuanzong clasped their hands together and got up to deliver the order.

"Jiajun" Defang said, "Send someone to Dingzhou to inform General Li first."

"Yes, my lord." Jia Jun stood up, Defang pulled Jia Jun, pointed to the porridge bowl, "Drink the porridge first."

Jia Jun picked up the porridge bowl and drank it down, wiped his mouth and said, "Chongming Shangen, take good care of the prince."

"Yes, General Song"

Jia Jun asked someone to send an order, and Defang looked at Jia Jun's back and smiled, "What a weird person."

"Prince" Shan En said, "General Song seems to be never tired or hungry."

"Hehehe, yes, he is about to become a god." Defang coughed a few times, and Chongming helped Defang, "My lord, please drink some water."

Defang took a few sips from the water bag, "If Jiajun doesn't have a straight face, he's actually pretty good."

"My lord, General Song is so capable, why doesn't he take the military examination? Maybe he will really become a great general in the imperial court."

"Yeah, he has this ability, but he would rather give up these things."

"My lord, why is this?"

"Chongming, Shang En, Jiajun and this king are very close. This king regards him and you as brothers. The reason is not important. The important thing is your loyalty to this king."

"My lord..." Chongming Shang En knelt down and said, "This subordinate will protect the lord with his life."

"No." Defang took a deep breath, and supported Chongming and Shang En's shoulders, "Tian Gu and Gong Zhi are gone, and I will never lose any of you again."

"My lord..." Chongming and Shang En were a little choked up, and Defang patted them "Okay, don't talk about it, go eat some porridge, after entering Dingzhou, you have to cheer up, the Liao people in the north are already Wait there, we will protect the food and fight against the enemy, there is no room for any mistakes."

"Yes, my lord." Chongming Shangen nodded, turned around to get the porridge, Defang adjusted his breathing, touched his neck again, it still hurt a little, picked up the water bag by himself and drank some water, and then walked to a room for officers and soldiers At the place where porridge was served and dry food was served, the officers and soldiers saw Defang approaching and hurriedly kowtowed, "I kowtow to the prince!"

"Get up"

"Lord Xie" the officers and soldiers got up, and Defang looked at the sweating and exhausted officers and soldiers in front of him and said, "Everyone, this time we are entrusted with the emperor's order, not only to escort these food supplies, but also to fight the Liao army. At the beginning of Beijing, everyone is not only wearing heavy armor, but also has to walk for more than a thousand miles under the scorching sun. This king knows that this journey is extremely hard, but the Weilu army has been short of food for a long time, and Suicheng is in trouble. Now the Liao army is taking advantage of it. Thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of people are waiting for the imperial army to come to the rescue. If Suicheng is not protected, the barriers in northern Xinjiang will be broken, and then the people will be caught in the flames of war again. Song Jiangshan will be in jeopardy, so we can't delay for a moment, we must fulfill the emperor's order, and I ask all the soldiers to persevere for the great Song." Defang cupped his hands and said, "This king thank you all here."

"Prince" All the officers and soldiers knelt down, and a soldier said, "Prince, from the capital to this place, you also traveled for more than a thousand miles in heavy armor. Your majestic prince can endure the scorching heat and fatigue. The lowly officials have to suffer so much." What."
