Chapter 1045 Southern Expedition and Northern Expedition - Officials Don't Run

The sealed memorial was soon delivered to Zhao Ji, not only one, but three.

Zhao Ji first picked up the book on it and looked through it. His hands immediately shook, his face pale as paper, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Da Diao, who was guarding an Imperial Medicine Academy in Chongzheng Hall, was immediately panicked and stepped forward to support Zhao Ji, and exclaimed in a crying voice: "Official family! Official family! But what's wrong with it?"

Zhao Ji's mouth trembled, and the big mink became even more panicked, and he whispered: "Who is holding the medicine? Why don't you come up quickly?"

The two little yellow gates rushed up in panic, opened the medicine box in their hands, and gave it to the big mink.

Before Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the emperor of the Zhao family was sick for many generations, so the eunuchs who served him were simply from the Imperial Medicine Academy. All kinds of first aid drugs, such as qi disorders, strokes, heat stroke, heartache, stomachache, and headaches, are always available.

Of course, Zhao Ji has never used it before. He has a big waist and a round waist, can ride a horse, shoot arrows, and can play Cuju with a bunch of small yellow gates every day. He can play with him for a while without breathing. He can see his chest muscles and abdominal muscles after taking off his clothes, but he is not the figure of a white chicken! Can he take medicine?

However, the medicinal materials that should be prepared for him are also indispensable. Following Zhao Ji's Da Diao from the Imperial Medicine Academy, he was also aware of medical theory, and even studied in Qingcheng Academy Medical College. When he saw Zhao Ji's appearance, he judged that it was a stroke (brain stroke). He hurriedly took out Su Hexiang Pills, trembling with his hands and pinched the beeswax outside the pills, melting the medicine inside with clear water, and handed it to Zhao Ji in a hurry. He muttered: "Official family, can you still open your mouth? Otherwise, I will serve you to drink medicine, and after drinking the medicine, the stroke will be cured..."

As a result... with a bang, Zhao Ji slapped over and knocked the medicine bowl away.

"I'm fine! No need to take medicine!"

It turned out that Zhao Ji did not have a brain attack, but a hereditary timidity. What he had just received was a memorial jointly signed by Ji Yi and General Xu. The memorial said that the Khitan army advanced rapidly and has now broken through the three defense lines of Nanyishui, Mudaohe and Hutuohe (actually no troops were stationed at all). It was as powerful as a rock and hit Jing'an City, Shenzhou Prefecture!

Only 300 miles away from Daming Mansion!

There is another even more terrifying news, that is, one of Zhong Fu's personal guards finally ran to Daming Mansion a few days ago and brought Zhong Fu's remains. Now it can be confirmed that Zhong Fu's 50,000 troops have been wiped out... Hebei is really in danger now!

Seeing these two bad news, can Zhao Ji not be afraid? Can he not tremble? Can he not sweat coldly? As for fear of a stroke, it is impossible, he is in good health.

After knocking over a bowl of soup, Zhao Ji took out the second memorial with his hand and looked up. He didn't know what he saw? He even stood up suddenly, threw the memorial in his hand on the ground, and cursed: "Ji Yi bastard, Xu Jiang bastard..."

After cursing, he didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked towards the back hall of Chongzheng Hall.

The ministers in the palace were stunned and the officials ran away!

The Chongzheng Palace asked about it halfway through the right question, and the officials of the Song Dynasty ran away. What's going on? Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there seems to be no precedent for the officials to run away?

Cai Jing was more clever and went up to pick up the memorial that Zhao Ji had left behind to take a look.

"Yuandu, what is the news on the memorial?"

Zhang Shangying asked in confusion.

"It was Xu Chongyuan and Ji Yizhi who asked the official army to lead the army to fight in person."

"ah!?"

"This is too nonsense..."

"Hebei's military situation is urgent and the soldiers are in danger of fighting. How can we lead the army in person?"

"Yes, Xu Chongyuan and Ji Yizhi are also confused."

"No wonder the official family left. It turned out that they were scared and ran away in anger..."

The important officials in the hall were suddenly in an uproar, but Cai Jing did not discuss with them, but walked towards the back hall of Chongzheng Hall. After leaving Chongzheng Hall, he grabbed a small yellow gate in a daze and asked the whereabouts of the official family, and then chased them all the way. He chased him outside Yingyang Gate leading to Jin Mingchi, and saw Zhao Ji standing in the sun in a daze, with a few dumbfounded eunuchs beside him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

As soon as Cai Jing's Fujian Mandarin was spoken, Zhao Ji ran away and ran into Yingyang Gate. Yingyang Gate was an inner court, and it was not convenient for external ministers to enter.

Cai Jing was also anxious and shouted: "Don't run away from the official family, don't run away from the official family. The old minister is old and can't catch up with you..."

Zhao Ji ran a few steps, but seemed to feel something was wrong, so he turned back and stood at the door of Yingyang Gate, looking at Cai Jing who was panting.

"Cai Jing, have you read the memorials of Ji Yi and Xu Jiang?"

"Look, look," Cai Jing said strangely, "Is Ji Yi and Xu Jiang's method good?"

"Not bad?" Zhao Ji was anxious, "He, they wanted my emperor to personally go to Daming Mansion to play against Yelu Yanxi!"

"Ah?" Cai Jing was stunned, and then he suddenly realized, "Your Majesty hasn't finished reading their memorials, right?"

Finished reading?

Do you still have to finish reading such a scary memorial? Do you really want to have a stroke?

"Your Majesty," Cai Jing said with a smile, "Ji Yi and General Xu did not suggest that Your Majesty personally enlist in Daming Mansion, but asked Your Majesty to announce his personal enlist in Xijin Mansion..."

"What!?" Zhao Ji became even more scared when he heard this. "Wouldn't he fall into the trap when he goes to Xijin Mansion?"

"It's not really going," Cai Jing said, "As long as your Majesty declares that he will lead the imperial army and station in Jiezhou and fight to the death with the Liao people, it will be enough to attract Yelu Yanxi's troops from Hebei West Road to Xijin Prefecture, so that Kaifeng Prefecture can rest assured."

So that's how it is.

Zhao Ji breathed a little relieved. At this time, Cai Jing had already handed over the second memorial jointly signed by Ji Yi and Xu Jiang with both hands. Zhao Ji took the memorial and read it word by word after unfolding it.

It turned out that Ji Yi and Xu Jiang suggested that Zhao Ji make great efforts to announce that the imperial commander should be in charge of the army and stationed in Jiezhou. He could also change Jiezhou to Tianjin Prefecture to show that the emperor would cross the river and go north here. But in fact, there is no need to really attack the army and scare Yelu Yanxi.

"But you don't joke," Zhao Ji became pretentious again. "I said I wanted to lead the imperial army to personally fight, and I won't go there at that time. Wouldn't it be ridiculed by the people of the world?"

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Everyone in the world judges heroes by success or failure. As long as Your Majesty wins Yelu Yanxi, no matter what method he uses, he will be a hero. If Yelu Yanxi defeats him, he will be a big bear."

"A hero is judged by success or failure..." Zhao Ji frowned, "Can Wu Haogu defeat Yelu Yanxi?"

Cai Jing said: "This old minister doesn't know, but the old minister knows that Yelu Yanxi will definitely not be able to defeat Wu Haogu. Because the Liao people are not good at building cities and attacking difficulties, Wu Haogu has now built the city outside Xijin Prefecture.

As long as Yelu Yanxi moved his troops to Xijin Mansion, facing the castles along the Hejian Daying, Sanggan River and Gaoliang River, he would undoubtedly be defeated. Even if he could persist for a while, with the power of the emperor, he could not do anything to a businessman or a businessman. In the end, the teacher and veterans were exhausted and he would be considered defeated."

Cai Jing was not talking about his own analysis, but the analysis of the Dujunjimai Department. Although Zhang Shuye and Wang Bing cleaned up a large number of Yuntai Department officers after taking over the Dujunjimai Department, causing the level of the Dujunji Department to drop significantly. But there is still some insight.

"Since that's the case," Zhao Ji said, "then you announce the imperial commander-in-chief!"

As he spoke, Zhao Ji, who had just run away, regained his dignity in the Tian family, walked back to Chongzheng Hall in a swagger, and personally announced that he would personally lead the imperial army to attack Xijin Mansion.

...

Jiehe Commercial City Military Port.

The weather was not very good, with autumn wind and rain. However, there were still crowds of people on the dock of Jiehe Military Port. The Song soldiers from the brigade were silently boarding the ship, while the citizens of Jiehe Commercial City organized by the doctoral group were cheering in the distance.

The one who boarded the ship to fight today was the first general of the new infantry army, 5,000 combat soldiers and 3,500 auxiliary soldiers, who had completed all the training as planned, and now they can finally go on the battle.

Their goal was not Xijinfucheng, but Chenzhou Port in Liaodong Road.

According to the plan, they will take 45 galloping warships, set out from Jiehe Shangshi Military Port, cross the Bohai Bay, and land at Chenzhou Port. They will seize the port and the 3.5 million stones of wheat piled there.

Later, more than 300 large ships of 3,000 to 5,000 materials will participate in the wheat transport. It will take about three round trips before all the wheat can be transported back to Jiehe Market.

The mills in Jiehe Market will process them into flour and then transport them to Kaifeng Prefecture by gang ship.

"Xiadu, Kunyu, when you go to Chenzhou, you must restrain the troops. Except for the prescribed granary, you are not allowed to infringe on other places, do you understand?"

In an octagonal pavilion near the dock, Wu Haogu was giving face-to-face advice to the commander-in-chief of the waterways of the battle. Hu Yanqing, who was responsible for commanding the naval fleet, has now been transferred from Nanyang to serve as the inspector of the Five Islands. The man named Kun Yu by Wu Haogu was named Wang Mou and the first general of the Yanshan Road New Army Infantry, whose courtesy name was Kun Yu, was a student of the Knight Academy with Yelu Dashi. He was originally a not-famous general and had a little relationship with Wang Bing. After graduating from the Knight Academy, he participated in the Western Expedition of the Educational Corps and fought to the Palacio Plateau. However, he did not stay in Hexi, but returned to Jiehe Shang City with Chen Jian and Xue Ding. Now the three of them are all infantry generals under Wu Haogu, and there is also an infantry general, Ximen Anguo.

"Jingshou, why can't you let go of your hands and feet and sweep it?" Hu Yanqing was a little puzzled.

Compared with the army with strict military discipline, his navy has a bit of a pirate habit.

Wu Haogu smiled: "Because someone wants it in Chenzhou... it is our friend. When the time comes, we will take it back, and we will have to hand it over to him intact.

In addition, after handing over Chenzhou, don’t rush back to the five islands. You have to travel to Suzhou to spend the winter there. Remember, you must be fine, and you can’t destroy the Mazhi market! Do you understand?"
