Chapter 99 Resignation without reward-7
The wind roared, and Ouyang Shan's voice was blown away by the river wind in an instant. Zhao Xingde looked at the river surface, as if he had not heard it.
Ouyang Shan looked around and lowered his voice again: "Some officers familiar with the generals said that someone was recruiting them for Cao Cao. The detained general also surrendered to Cao Cao." He paused and lowered his voice, "My Lord asked what his plan was. Mo Jiang planned to follow him to the death."
"Me?" Zhao Xingde took a deep breath and said slowly: "After defeating the Liao Kingdom, I am afraid I can't take you to war again. However, Cao Di and others are not reliable. Compared with Liu Yanqing, he was able to laugh at the 50 steps and a hundred steps, and he could not compete with the general trend of this era. Following them, he could only lose one way." He looked at the lights on the river and sighed, "The soldiers of the Song Dynasty will no longer fight for this general, and they will not fight for this emperor or that emperor. The only thing they are loyal to is our world. The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least. Remember this sentence in mind, and the people of the Song Dynasty will have a peaceful world."
Ouyang Shan clasped his fists and said, "If you are a general and a minister, that is also a gratifying event."
Chen Dong once vowed not to pretend to be the prime minister. Zhao Xingde was civil and military, and the people were highly regarded. There was rumors that he was elected as prime minister. Civil and military affairs were different, so Ouyang Shan heard the words "You can't fight again" and thought that Zhao Xingde was talking about this. However, he did not know that Zhao Xingde was a general of the Xia Kingdom. He temporarily took over the position of the southeast camp. He was an act of urgent power. After defeating the Liao Kingdom, the situation even stabilized, and he might be resigned at any time.
Zhao Xingde was inconvenient to explain the twists and turns to Ouyang Shan, patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Even if you have no strength in the future, Mr. Chen and Shangshu Cao will not forget you." Ouyang Shan clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xie recommended it."
Zhao Xingde nodded, and he looked at Ezhou opposite the river and sighed. The Baoyi Army changed the custom of different paths of civil and military affairs, and used scholars and scholars as middle- and low-level officers. Chen Dong also advised Zhao Xingde that when he overcomes the current difficulties, he would simply stay in Guandong and not have to return to Xia Kingdom. Zhao Xingde tactfully refused and promised to hand over all his elite soldiers back to the court in the future, and asked Chen Dong to treat the soldiers who were loyal to the country well. Zhao Xingde was a guest general, but he himself did not.
To capture military power, Chen Dong and other ministers regarded Bao Yi Army as the most reliable army. Once Zhao Xingde was resigned, Chen Dong would definitely send someone to take over Bao Yi Army and the Southeast Camp. As long as the people in the management society took charge of the Political Affairs Hall, the subordinates of Cao, Han and Yue would be gradually weakened in the future. Bao Yi Army took great righteousness as a guise and was not loyal to a certain general, and would be continuously expanded. Chen Dong and Cao Liangshi had talked about these arrangements with Zhao Xingde openly or secretly.
Perhaps the defeat made the Liao army depressed. That night, Hanyang City was particularly quiet. After inspecting the city walls, Zhao Xingde warned the generals everywhere not to be careless, so he returned to the Yingchun Gate Tower in Dongcheng to rest. This was the place where the Liao army attacked for a long time. Since crossing the river, although the yamen was on the top of Phoenix Mountain, Zhao Xingde had been staying on the Dongcheng Tower. When he returned to the room, he took off his helmet and put it on the desk, unfolded a piece of paper. There were already some dense handwriting on the paper. Zhao Xingde drenched some pine smoke ink with the wolf's hair, and then pondered for a moment before continuing to write.
"The Zuo Zhuan said that the great affairs of the country are in sacrifices and war. The so-called worshipers, wise people respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them, and should match the heaven with virtue and follow morality. The so-called Rong people have heard that in ancient times, they competed for wisdom and strength in the world, and practiced virtue for a long time. I believe that in today's world, fire weapons are very popular, and the village has a man, and their strength is not enough to open crossbows. Now they can fight with guns. If the court trains a little, they will become soldiers that can fight. The people of the Song Dynasty are no less than 60 million. If they are half a man and a woman, there will be no less than 30 million men in the country, and there will be no less than 15 million men. There are 15 million soldiers that can fight with guns, so that China can keep its own way, and both the upper and lower levels will not lose its virtue. Who can destroy the Diyi?"
"The so-called sharpening a knife is a bad idea, and the sharp knife hurts people's fingers. The military system can be divided into internal and external, and can achieve both. The inside is heavy and dull, and the outside is sharp. The internal army is heavy and dull, and it is dedicated to garrisoning prefectures and counties. Each county has a military officer in the Ministry of War. Each county has a military commander to train warfare. As for the men who are crowned, they draw one per ten, and they can only get rid of the gun for three years. They know that they will be able to avoid it. The so-called parents are not traveling far away, so they leave their hometowns and are not taken by human ethics. Therefore, the military rules of prefectures and counties are not easily out of their territory. If there is any problem in the country, the prime minister proposes that the prefectures and counties should not be allowed. If there is any problem in the country, the prime minister proposes that the prefectures and counties should not be allowed. Therefore, the prefectures and counties should not be easily out of their territory. If there is any problem in the country, the prime minister proposes that the prefectures and counties should not be allowed.
The county school public discussed the expedition and attack, and then gave the generals a military talisman. Only when the troops were checked correctly could the soldiers leave the prefectures and counties. After the war, the generals returned to the court and the soldiers returned to the prefectures and counties. If the soldiers and generals separated, the foreign soldiers were light and sharp, and they would recruit fierce and desperate people. Only tens of thousands of elite soldiers could go to the expedition to the extreme and intimidate the stubborn. Foreign soldiers only remembered the border achievements, and the court should not control them too much. After writing about a stick of incense, Zhao Xingde stopped writing. He marched and fought all year round, and he also developed the habit of writing down his experience at any time.
At this time, the personal soldiers came in to report to the soldiers who had made contributions in the daytime battle. After reading the list, Zhao Xingde made a sketch with a red pen and confirmed that at dawn tomorrow, he would personally give the three people the money "Saint Song Tongbao" and the other "Saint Song Tongbao" silver coins to eleven people.
Instead of returning the list to his personal soldiers immediately, he read it carefully, looking at the names of each of the officers who reported it, and recalling everyone from the ink traces of varying depths, Zhao Xingde pondered for a moment and ordered: "Since I presided over the Southeast Camp, I have seen the generals and soldiers eat coarse food with the soldiers. It is very hard and I feel sorry for it. From tomorrow, several commanders will take turns to host the banquet to reward the officers in the camp. They will reorganize more delicious dishes, and then invite some singers from Ezhou to entertain the fun. The officers above the head of the camp in the camp can go to the banquet to eat and drink at the meal by voluntarily."
The personal soldiers agreed, Zhao Xingde stood up, pushed open the engraving window, looked at the dark night sky in the distance, and sighed.
Cao Di and other important officials ignored the overall situation so much. The navy had just won for a while and reached out to the southeast camp. The undercurrents were surging in the camp, which was quite cold. After Zhao Xingde had planned to stabilize the situation, he refused to leave the position of the capital of the southeast camp and returned to Xia Kingdom. Now it seems that he has to be a villain, eliminate all the people who are half-hearted, and then return the troops to Chen Dong and others, so as not to cause trouble in the future, which will cause trouble to implicate a group of brothers who follow him.
In Dunhuang, the sky was not clear, and a horseman, a tiger-winged guard, held a torch, led the urgently summoned captains to the hall. Many captains stood at the door of the hall, and under forty granite rock pillars, flashed uncertain fires, casting shadows of light and darkness on the military emblems guarding the four armies.
"If he wants to fight, we will fight!" someone shouted roughly, "Can you still swallow your anger if you bully someone?"
"Yes, fight!" "Kill all these barbarians! Eliminate future troubles!"
"It should have been killed long ago!" "Yes!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Xia army was trapped in Ross, in recent years, the Roma Sultanate has prepared troops, first annexed the Egyptian caliphs and captured Baghdad. Many of the Dashi princes who had originally separatist and independent ruled themselves to fear their military power and depended on him. Not long ago, several Xia caravans were attacked by the sultan soldiers, and hundreds of merchants in Xia were killed and injured, and the southern trade route to Lumei Kingdom was almost completely cut off the Roma Sultanate. It is said that the main target of the Roma Sultan
It was still Lumei Kingdom, but another partial army of the Roma Sultanate advanced eastward, summoned tens of thousands of Turkic nomadic cavalry and besieged Xiliuzhou, Hezhong for three days. Although Cangcheng was protected, the Xia people who could not escape were still killed hundreds of people, and countless pastorals were burned along the way. The Anxi Military Office and the Hezhong Prefectures had issued emergency mobilization orders, ordering all retired soldiers to report to the camp, and at the same time wrote to the Guguo Mansion and the General's Mansion to request troops to attack the Roma Sultanate.
More than a hundred lieutenants had learned the news on the road, and indignant curses could be heard everywhere inside and outside the meeting hall. Some people pulled out their horizontal swords and the torches shone coldly.
"Shou, everyone." The head of the Guardian Mansion, Cui Chunyou, stood at the door with a solemn face, and said to the lieutenants: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, General, will come soon, and will come soon." The crowd was excited. At this time, when the people from the General's Mansion arrived and proposed a plan to send troops, ten of the lieutenants would agree.
Just behind the meeting hall, in a small house, His Majesty Chen Xuan, Prime Minister Liu Yi, General Zhang Shanfu, Wu Ting, Xie Yuan and others were all here. Compared with the fierce momentum outside, the atmosphere here is particularly solemn.
"In just a few years, the Roma Sultan has become a big shot." Wu Ting sighed, "The one who attacked Xiliuzhou was the younger brother of the Roma Sultan. According to our secret report, the next target of the Roma Sultan is the Lumei Kingdom. This attack on Xiliu was because this man was greedy for the wealth in our river and sent troops privately." After the Roma Sultan annexed the Egyptian Caliphate, the Military Information Department once suggested sending troops to attack, but because the war broke out again in the former place of the Roma State, the matter was suppressed. The Military Information Department did not insist anymore, and did not expect that it would have caused great trouble now.
"The West has a group of Hu, one after another, and its rise and fall are brisk and its fall is at the end." Zhang Shanfu said, "The General of Wu does not need to blame himself."
Wu Ting shook his head and said nothing more.
