Song Mingyue

Chapter 252 Standing Under the Dangerous Wall
In mid-September of the lunar calendar in 1120 AD, Tong Guan and Zhao Hao led [-] Jingshi imperial troops and [-] Jinyiwei troops to Mozhou to join the Heshuo imperial army under the order of Zhao Ji.

After passing the Daming Mansion and entering Hebei Road, it has become obviously desolate, and the population is far less than that of the Central Plains and the land to the south, let alone compared with the rich and prosperous Jiangnan.

Hebei East Road, the border of Renqiu.

With the wheels rolling and the sound of horses' hooves breaking, a military horse with tens of thousands of people slowly came from the south like a long dragon, and smoke and dust billowed wherever it went.

Under the banner of "Song", Zhao Hao and Tong Guan walked side by side, followed by Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shizhong, Cai Mao and You.

The way of the teacher and the two of the teachers have been in the battlefield for a long time, and they have been in the army for a lifetime. Even at the age of six or seventy, they are still full of energy without the slightest tiredness.Tong Guan has been in the army for a long time, and he can barely maintain a normal state, while Cai Mao and Cai You are completely full of expressions of death and misery.

Er Cai always went out in soft sedan chairs or chariots, but never had they marched on horseback for such a long time. The bumps along the way made Er Cai's brains almost spill out, and it was like purgatory for them.

Originally, according to their rank, they should have to travel by car, but Zhao Hao forbade it.

This is a march to fight a war, not a tour of mountains and rivers. The chariots and horses are used to pull food and grass, not to pull people. You all sharpened your heads to supervise the army, and you were not forced to come here.

The most important thing is that Zhao Hao himself also rode all the way here. Zhao Hao's rank is higher than them, and he is not from the military.
Of course, the highest officer in the army is Tong Guan, not Zhao Hao. The problem is that Tong Guan seems to have been drugged with ecstasy by Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao asked everyone to ride horses, and Tong Guan, who has always been pampered, also followed. .

A horse galloped over: "Report, Renqiu is ahead, and you can reach Mozhou in one day."

Tong Guan looked back at the sky, then at Er Cai who was full of bitterness, and then at Zhao Hao, then said: "Just set up camp outside Renqiu City, and rest in Renqiu City tonight."

All the soldiers cheered one after another, quickened their marching pace, and marched towards Ren Qiu mightily.

Zhao Hao also looked back, glanced at Er Cai seemingly inadvertently, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In this battle, he is destined to deviate from the will of Emperor Zhao Ji, Ercai supervises the army, and the small reports behind him will fly to Bianjing like snowflakes.

……

Renqiu City is just a small city with a radius of only two miles and a population of only 3 to [-].

The camp of more than 2 troops was stationed outside the city, while Tong Guan, Zhao Hao, Cai Mao, Cai You, and brothers Zhong Shidao and others entered the city. They were received by the county magistrate Renqiu and arranged a relatively spacious The mansion is used as the Xingyuan.

into the night.

Tong Guan is resting his eyes with his eyes closed.Although it was only a temporary stay for one night, the county magistrate Renqiu didn't dare to neglect, after all, he was the Duke of Xiangjia and sent a few maids to wait on him.

All of them were waiting outside, the night was getting dark, and no one was allowed to disturb Xuan Shuai's rest.

There was a sound of orderly footsteps at the door, and several figures were seen heading straight for Tong Guan's wing.

"Is Xuan Shuai in there?" the person at the front asked.

"The night is getting dark, Xuan Shuai has already rested, and there are no guests." The leader took care of everything, without even raising his head, he directly refused.

Here, Xuan Shuai is the biggest official, so it doesn't matter who the person is.

"Please come in and report to Xuan Shuai, just say that the Duke of Longde County is asking for an audience!" The other party also became angry.

The leader stared at him, and was about to scold him, when he suddenly remembered the words "Longde County Duke", and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Hao in military uniform, his expression changed drastically, and he hurried forward to pay homage.

Zhao Hao waved his hand: "Go inside and report."

Nadu Guan hurried in and came out in a hurry: "Xuan Shuai has invited the Duke."

Zhao Hao nodded and strode in.

In the bedroom, although it can't be said to be a magnificent scene, it is surrounded by fragrant fragrances, saliva tubes, tea mugs, and incense burners are all available.Although the maids were not stunning, they were exquisite in figure, with bright eyes and bright teeth.

Hearing that it was Zhao Hao coming, Tong Guan had already stood up in his clothes, sitting upright with a solemn face.

Zhao Hao entered the bedroom, glanced at Tong Guan with a half-smile, and then his eyes fell on the maids. Tong Guan's expression changed, and he waved his hand hurriedly to order the maids to leave.

Zhao Hao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter that Xuan Shuai is having a good time in Bianliang's own house, there are many people here, so it is unnecessary to get lost, this is a fatal event."

Tong Guan looked embarrassed and said: "Master, you made fun of me. The maids here are just serving the daily life. How dare the old servant be dissolute."

Zhao Hao stopped entangled in this matter, looked serious, and asked: "Tomorrow we will arrive at Mozhou to join the Heshuo Forbidden Army. The Western Army is still on their way, and the big battle is imminent. I wonder what good strategy Xuanshuai has?"

Tong Guan looked at Zhao Hao's face, and said cautiously: "Young master also knows that before leaving, the government has made a decree. This battle is to punish crimes, and the purpose is to save the people, not to kill, but to persuade. When we get to Mozhou After the confluence of the three armies, we will line up a large army to suppress the border in Xiongzhou, and then send cavalry bravely into the Liao border to read the official call for surrender, disintegrate the Liao people's morale, and then lead the army into the Liao border. The Liao army has long been beaten by the Jurchen There are only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses in the south, and once my [-] troops arrive, the Liao people will collapse and flee!"

shit~
Zhao Hao only wanted to scold his mother in his heart. Obviously, this guy still planned to make a fuss like in history, and the result would naturally be like in history. He was killed by the Liao people and fled.

Tong Guan saw that Zhao Hao was silent, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes, and he was secretly startled.He had experienced Zhao Hao's methods, and he feared Zhao Hao like a tiger, for fear that Zhao Hao would be unhappy and take back his hard-earned lifeblood.

For a long time, Zhao Hao didn't say a word.

Tong Guan couldn't calm down, and asked respectfully, "I don't know what your master wants?"

Zhao Hao sneered and said: "Although there are only tens of thousands of Liao people, they are all elite troops. What's more, what we are about to face is Yelu Dashi, the most valiant general of the Liao army. If we fight like this, it will be no different from death." ?”

Tong Guan asked suspiciously: "What do you want, Young Master?"

Zhao Hao smiled lightly: "Xuan Shuai is the lord of the three armies, and I am the commander of the capital, in charge of all the armies. There are always some situations where the division of labor seems to be unclear. I am looking for Xuan Shuai tonight to clarify responsibilities and avoid conflicts."

Tong Guan looked at Zhao Hao, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know how the young master wants to divide the work?"

Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "Let's be simple, big things are up to the commander-in-chief, and small things are up to me, but..."

Tong Guan: "But what? My lord, it doesn't matter!"

Zhao Hao laughed again: "Whether it's a big thing or a small thing, I decide!"

Tong Guan's face became extremely hesitant, and he said after a long time: "Although the young master has experience in commanding soldiers, he has never experienced a big battle. Now the conquest of Liao is a serious matter... Please be careful, young master. If things go wrong, the old slave and You can't escape the responsibility of the young master!"

The look in Zhao Hao's eyes became serious: "From now on, all affairs in the army, big or small, will be controlled by the capital. If there is meritorious service, it will all belong to the Xuanshuai. !"

Seeing that Zhao Haolai was serious, Tong Guan couldn't help becoming anxious: "My lord, you need to know that there are two assistant envoys. If the old slave is in the lord's hands, then the two of them will definitely send a letter to the officials to impeach us."

Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "The general is outside, and the emperor's order is not accepted. If those two are not peaceful, the ruler will deal with it himself."

Tong Guan still didn't give up: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, and you must not act impulsively..."

Zhao Hao smiled coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes, and squeezed out two words: "Tong Jin!"

Hearing these two words, Tong Guan couldn't help but feel dizzy, and managed to calm himself down: "What did you say?"

"Tong Jin, male, was born in Bianliang on the ninth day of June in the second year of Xuanhe. He was fostered in the home of Xuanshuai's nephew at the west gate of Bianliang. Xuanshuai visited on time on the eighth, eighteenth and 28th of every month, rain or shine."

In an instant, Tong Guan was sweating profusely and trembling all over: "My lord..."

Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "I can make your family full of children and grandchildren, and I can also make you die. Xuan Shuai must believe in Jin Yiwei's ability!"

Tong Carran collapsed on top of the soft collapse: "It's all up to you!"

Zhao Hao didn't look at him, but just said coldly: "Remember, if things don't work out, you can blame me. You don't have to cover it up, and don't worry about me blaming you."

Tong Guan stared at Zhao Hao's back in a daze, and suddenly said a word: "Master, why bother? The clan of the Great Song Dynasty, apart from the prince, is the limit to be the king of the county. The son is not as weak as the crown, and he is already the county prince. It will be a matter of time before you become king, why stand under a dangerous wall? Sincerity is worthless for a son!"

Zhao Hao stopped for a while, but he didn't look back after all.

Chick, who knows the lofty ambition?
Still, those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know say what I want?
