Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

"My lord Li Xiaoli, the prefect of Xiliang Prefecture, led his colleagues in Hezhou, and many generals in the army, to welcome Meng Dutong—"

"Thank you Great Song, thank you His Royal Highness King Yan, when my Great Xia was alive and dead, the heavenly soldiers came to relieve our soldiers and civilians from embarrassment!"

After Li Xiaoli finished speaking, he led the crowd behind him, and bowed deeply to Meng Gong and the more than 3 soldiers behind him.

Before the Communist Party of Meng could react, this Li Xiaoli actually stepped forward quickly and took the reins of the Communist Party of Meng with his own hands.

Is this to lead the Meng Communist Party?

"Oh, no - Li Zhizhou can't do this."

Meng Gong hurriedly kicked off the saddle, and snatched the rein from Li Xiaoli's hand.

"Li Zhizhou, Xia and Song are closely related. The Mongols invaded the territory of Daxia and killed the people of Daxia for their own selfishness. Every time my Highness thinks about this, he sighs with regret."

"I wish I could personally lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers to drive this fierce man out of the Xia Realm, but I'm worried that others will criticize me."

"Now the 'Princess Yincheng' of your country is already the side concubine of King Yan of Song Dynasty, but she is trapped here by the Mongols."

"The so-called master is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master's humiliation and death. When the King of Yan heard about this, he sighed all night. I, Meng Gong, are not talented. As a general under the command of Your Highness, I am willing to lead [-] men in the 'Dunwu Army' to guard the King of Yan. Around the concubine."

"Anyone who dares to offend King Yan's concubine, Meng Gonghe and the [-] 'Dunwu Army' will definitely make him regret coming to this world—"

"Great Song Wansheng—"

"Yan Wang Wansheng—"

The passionate speech of the Communist Party of Meng, even if it was said standing on the ground, made tens of thousands of Song men behind him hear their blood boiling.

Li Xiaoli is a literati and politician, in his fifties, and stays in Xiliang Prefecture all year round, where has he seen this?

"Hehe, Meng Du is so majestic, the 'Dunwu Army' really lives up to its reputation——"

"This is not a place to speak. Her Royal Highness 'Princess Yincheng' is already waiting in the city. Please ask Meng Du to follow me into the city."

Xiliang Prefecture must enter, but not everyone can enter, there are tens of thousands of people.

The two main generals Meng Gong and Zhao Chengyu each led ten guards to follow Li Xiaoli into the city, and the other troops, led by their respective captains, set up camp outside the city of Xiliangzhou.

Tens of thousands of people outside the city shouted "Wansheng of the Song Dynasty—" and "Wansheng of the King of Yan—"

The people in the city also listened to it seriously, including the "Princess Silver City" with a red veil on her face.

"Meng Dutong and Zhao Dutong will come in a while, and invite them to come in directly, and the others are not allowed in. There are double guards outside the door, and anyone who dares to approach will be killed—"

He led soldiers for a period of time, during which time he fought a battle with Brother Tiemu's former army, and it was a small victory because of the large number of people.

"Princess Yincheng" has also cultivated a murderous look, not to mention, she is also a first-class master.

"Li Zhizhou, the princess has an order that only Meng Dutong and Zhao Dutong can enter, and no one else is allowed to enter, otherwise they will be killed without mercy—"

Li Xiaoli led Meng Gong and Zhao Chengyu, and just arrived at the mansion of "Princess Yincheng", when he was stopped by the sergeant at the gate.

"This...Meng Dutong, since this is the case, I can't accompany you. The princess will order this, and I have to obey it."

This Li Xiaoli can clearly remember that when this "Princess Yincheng" first arrived, there were those arrogant soldiers who refused to accept, and they were killed by this delicate princess for three days in a row.

When more than 100 heads hang on the top of the city, everyone else will be honest.

"Haha, since it's the princess' order, we should obey it. Please Li Zhizhou give me these twenty brothers, let's find a place to eat."

Meng Gong and Zhao Chengyu looked at each other, and they entered the mansion of "Princess Yincheng" calmly.

The large lobby was empty, and when Meng and Zhao entered, they saw only one person standing behind the handsome guy with his hands behind his back.

"See Her Royal Highness—"

Seeing a woman, the two bowed and saluted.

"Haha, both of you are in command, long time no see—"

Rebirth: Where Does the Sword of Shooting the Condor Return? Chapter 285 The Old Man Comes North

"Meng Dutong, I didn't expect 'Princess Yincheng' to be..."

Meng Gong and Zhao Chengyu stayed in the mansion of "Princess Yincheng" for an hour, and they left after eating.

"Cheng Yu said carefully, if you have anything to say, go back to the barracks—"

Compared with the excitement on Zhao Chengyu's face, Meng Gong's expression was much more solemn. He did not expect such a big change to happen, everything came too suddenly.

The two mounted their horses outside the gate of "Princess Yincheng", the twenty guards were already waiting there, and they went out of the city gate and returned to Song Dynasty's barracks.

"Cheng Yu, I think it's better to report this matter to His Highness King Yan in detail."

Meng Gong thought about it again and again, but he was still a little uneasy.

"However, just now 'Princess Yincheng' warned you not to let His Highness know her identity for the time being. If we tell His Highness like this, wouldn't it be..."

Hearing Meng Gong's words, Zhao Chengyu was a little puzzled.

Although both of them are the chief generals of the first army, Zhao Chengyu is just a new recruit in front of the Communist Party of Meng.

A few years ago, when Zhao Chengyu first arrived in the "Dunwu Army", he started from Guo Mo's personal guards. At that time, the Meng Communist Party was already the deputy commander of the "Dunwu Army".

"Cheng Yu, the identity of 'Princess Yincheng' is secondary. The key is that she will completely hand over the command of the [-] Xixia Army to our hands."

"Also, we can't judge whether the entrustment she said before Li Dewang, the king of Xixia, was true or not, especially since 'Princess Yincheng' has such a sensitive identity."

The Meng Communist Party has passed its thirties, and Guo Mo is five years older. He is a cautious person, so he naturally has more things to consider.

It's not that he has any prejudice against this "Princess Yincheng". When he recognized the identity of "Princess Yincheng", he was also excited.

However, for the request of "Princess Yincheng", Meng Gong can only say sorry. After all, the person he really wants to pledge allegiance to is His Royal Highness King Yan of the Song Dynasty, and he himself is a Song person.

Even without the full support of Zhao Chengyu, the Communist Party of Meng still took up a pen and wrote a detailed report of what he had seen and heard since he entered Xixia.

He called his seventh younger brother Meng Ying over and asked him to deliver this memorial to His Royal Highness King Yan of Luoyang in the fastest way.

Because the matter was so important, the Communist Party of Meng also sent the ten best kung fu members of its personal guards as Meng Ying's guards, and they galloped to Luoyang together.

There are certain laws to follow in war, but they are the most elusive.

Sometimes, like a violent storm, within half a day, you can attack the city and pull out the stronghold, completely tilting the balance of victory.

Sometimes, after many years of defense, even if both sides are in a state of defense, no one dares to shoot the first arrow, wasting time and wasting money and food.

......

Lin'an, Funing Palace.

Guo Mo asked Zhao Rushu to transcribe a new copy of Xixia's battle report. He also wrote down his own response and sent it to Lin'an. It was full of three sheets of paper.

In Funing Palace, Zhao Kuo was sitting behind the imperial book, and the old eunuch was still standing in his place, but at this time in Funing Palace, there were a few more people.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Shi Xueji, the right chief of Yanwangfu, Hu Ju, Minister of the Ministry of War, Meng Zongzheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yue Ke who had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Households.

The original Hubu Shangshu was old and frail, and after begging for bones three times, he was finally released by Zhao Kuo to take care of him.

Yue Ke, who had been the servant of the household department for several years, stepped up logically and became the real helm of the household department, in charge of the money bag of Song Dynasty.

One must know that Yue Ke is only in his forties this year, and it is really rare to be promoted to the Minister of the Household Department at this age. Among the old ministers, he is considered young and strong.

"Everyone, have you read the situation in Xixia and the measures taken by King Yan? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Zhao Kuo had a purpose in finding these people.

Xue Ji is naturally the most resourceful person in the court. After getting rid of Shi Miyuan's party in the past two years, he is quite favored by the official Zhao Kuo.

Hu Ju and Meng Zongzheng sorted out the Ministry of War. Although the foreign conquests were decided by Yan Wangfu, they had to be reported to the Ministry of War.

The more than 20 elite under the command of King Yan did not mean that they were trained from the people who were fully recruited, but also from all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

In other words, all the troops of the Great Song Dynasty will be the source of troops under King Yan's command. This has been a tradition that has been used since the establishment of the "Dunwu Army".

To be precise, in the current Great Song Dynasty, only the four strong troops under the command of King Yan have more than 20 people, which are considered real soldiers and are responsible for foreign operations.

Other armies, except for the [-] regular imperial guards guarding Lin'an, the garrisons in various places performed daily garrison tasks, and at the same time shouldered the recruitment and initial training of recruits.

These troops are no longer soldiers, but garrison troops.

Especially in the past two years, under Guo Mo's advocacy, qualified garrisons in various places have also participated in large-scale military reclamation, or participated in disaster relief.

"Officials, to see what His Royal Highness King Yan means, do you want to win Xixia first?"

Hu Ju, Minister of the Ministry of War, spoke first. This is also a veteran. He is [-] this year and has been in the center all year round. He can be regarded as an evergreen tree in the political arena.

He is also the grandson of Hu Quan, a famous minister who resisted the Jin Dynasty. His grandfather is even more powerful. He is also known as the "Four Famous Ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty" along with Li Gang, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang in history.

It's no wonder that Hu Ju has such doubts. In Guo Mo's plan for Da Song, Jin Guo is the first thing he wants to win, and Xixia is second.

As for Mongolia, its territory is too vast, and most of it is a place of bitter cold, which is considered useless in the eyes of the people of Song Dynasty.

Now that the situation in Xixia has changed suddenly, Guo Mo's active response will naturally make people think about it.

"The last time His Royal Highness Yan sent a letter, it was said that no matter the Jin Kingdom or Xixia, it will be the territory of our Song Dynasty in the future, and the people there will also become the subjects of our Song Dynasty."

"Hence, Your Highness is considering using coercion as the main military force in these two places, using 'economic warfare' and 'public opinion warfare' as much as possible."

"Although the old man still hasn't fully understood how His Highness implements these two methods of warfare, with His Highness's consistent style of action, it shouldn't be a waste of time."

Xue Ji next to him spoke. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the court, and he is also the right long history of Yan Wangfu.

Especially after the old Cheng Huan went to Luoyang half a year ago, Xue Ji took care of the Prince Yan's Mansion in Lin'an, and they often exchanged information with the Prince Yan's Mansion in Luoyang.

"This time, the Xixia war seems to have broken King Yan's original plan. However, this old man agrees with Ming Ke's approach. Even if Xixia can't be completely taken down, at least he can gain more territory and support."

"In my opinion, we should think more about His Highness's post-war affairs. The three major economic and strategic appeasement envoys are sent out, and His Highness may not have a fourth candidate."

Indeed, there are more than 20 powerful troops under King Yan's command in the war, but there are not many civil servants who stand alone, not to mention Guo Mo's command, even the entire Song Dynasty is very scarce.

"Forget it, let Xiao Qi deal with foreign wars by himself, we just need to provide him with logistical support."

"Suzhi, you need to pay more attention to this matter. Although Luoyang is now self-sufficient, launching such a big war still needs to support the operation of the Hebei Bazhou Prefecture."

"In terms of money and food, Xiaoqi can give as much as he wants, and the household department strictly controls it. If someone dares to reach out here and ask the 'Huangcheng Secretary' to cooperate with you, if you find one, you will be killed—"

Naturally, Yue Ke had nothing to object to. Yue Ke himself had been successful in official career in the past few years, and his son had become a general under the command of King Yan, and even reorganized the "Yue Family Army".

Meeting such a talented and generous monarch as King Yan, Yue Ke didn't have time to fiddle with his favorite poems, and spent more time and energy on government affairs.

The Yue family's rise again will fall on him and Yue Ao, and His Royal Highness King Yan is the only support they can rely on.

"Don't worry about the officials, after the first batch of rice is ripe this year, the minister will order it to be sent directly to Luoyang, saving unnecessary turnover."

"The salary is also sufficient, and those who have military merits, no matter in Hebei, Hedong or Guanzhong, can be awarded Yongyetian according to the size of their military merits."

"The number of idle cultivated land in various places has also been reported one after another. In some places, military settlements have been launched. In the future, rewards will be given to the soldiers, and they will be cultivated land directly."

"Those three economic and strategy appeasement envoys are all capable members, and they are worthy of being cultivated by His Highness King Yan."

When it comes to the government affairs under his jurisdiction, Yue Ke, who has always been not good at speaking, actually talks eloquently.

In the Palace of Funing, there are several other old men in their fifties or sixties, but Yue Ke, who is in his early forties, is full of vigor when talking.

"Hahaha, Suzhi, do you still envy the three of them? Aren't you also cultivated by His Royal Highness Yan Wang? You have to work hard, young man—"

In other words,,,.. version. 】

Meng Zongzheng listened and joked.

Yes, even Meng Zongzheng is 62 years old. If it weren't for Guo Mo's existence, like in another time and space, Meng Zongzheng would have passed away for three years.

The official family of the Song Dynasty can be regarded as the most unassuming official family. It is not an overly formal occasion, and getting along with courtiers who are compatible is like chatting with friends.

"Meeting, you go to the West Lake tomorrow and meet the Supreme Emperor of Xixia."

Zhao Kuo suddenly lowered his voice.

The Supreme Emperor of Xixia, Li Zunxu, the number one scholar, has also lived in Lin'an for more than half a year.

When he was about to arrive in Lin'an, the official Zhao Kuo really went out of the city to greet him. Li Zunxu was so moved by this specification.

Li Zunxu was eight years older than Zhao Kuo. Although he had already abdicated, Zhao Kuo still called out "Brother Huang" one by one.

During the New Year, Zhao Kuo even invited Li Zunxu to have a drink with all civil and military officials in the palace to congratulate the new year.

Even according to the prince's specifications, the household department sent Li Zunxu's salary every month, and Zhao Kuo also visited Li Zunxu's mansion every now and then.

The Xixia war, especially the death of Li Zunxu's son Li Dewang, had to send someone to tell the Xixia Emperor about such a big matter.

Xue Ji took the lead, he is a person who is not afraid of trouble, and he is even thinking, can he plan something out of it?

To be honest, Xue Ji agreed with Zhao Rushu's plan for King Yan in Luoyang, wishing that he was there at that time.

Whether it's the comparison between the advisers, or the open and secret fights, it has never stopped.
