[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

Most of the twelve clan brothers died in battle.

Zhao Yuan didn't know how he stated this fact in a calm tone.At that moment, she suddenly seemed to be stabbed hard by a needle, and her chest hurt dullly.

"At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Western Army was set up to resist Xixia Yuanhao. To put it bluntly, there is not much left in the army, food and grass from Bianliang to Shaanxi Road. The sons and daughters are free to farm, During the war, soldiers even opened the 'Military City'..."

The boy's voice was a little low, and his eyes were a little dark.

"In the early years, a brother of the clan, a young Xinxing, rode his horse on the ridge of the fallow field. His grandfather beat him twenty army sticks, and almost killed him. Later, he left and was buried deep in the yellow sand of the desert. did not return."

"The military report only has six words: fight to the death, exhaustion, and death."

"Because there are too many brothers who died in battle, even the grandfather's direct grandson must not occupy too many words."

"until……"

The boy took a deep breath, his eyes flushed.

"It wasn't until Tong Xuanshuai was defeated and half of the Beijing camp was wiped out that we were transferred back from the northwest. My grandfather was crying with the signature and his hands were shaking. The officials and the Privy Council don't like soldiers. The family is powerful. , but the grandfather must be powerful, so that he can 'resist the orders of the king outside'. You know, what the soldiers hate the most is to receive a stupid command arrow and die in vain."

Zhong Yi walked side by side in the camp with her, and rows of black-clad and black-armored soldiers saluted together.

The red tassels on the felt hat hang down, like a sad song crying blood.

"There are more and more spiritual places in the ancestral hall. None of us knows when it will be our turn. Before the grandfather left for the west, he called us all to him, and let us all chant after him: guard my border, guard my rivers and mountains, The long river drinks horses, and the yellow sand is a burial."

"Grandfather's greatest wish was to uproot Xixia. But he didn't wait for this, but he waited for the news that Bianliang City was broken."

"I……"

"I said so much rashly today, do you find me annoying?"

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yuan, he was still as heroic as before, but there were stormy waves surging in his eyes.

Zhao Yuan's heart was heavy, and the tip of his nose was a little acidic.

She shook her head and pretended to smile lightly: "Why?"

But she must have taken the wrong medicine today, and she laughed like she was crying.

Guard my border, defend my rivers and mountains.

The long river drinks horses, and the yellow sand is a burial.

Generations of the Zhong family were buried at the junction of Xixia and Northern Song Dynasty. Every boy was born with six short and silent words: fight to the death, exhaustion, death.During Renzong's reign, the military expenditures were corrupted astonishingly, and their lives were the thick shields and spears against Xixia.

It wasn't until Di Qing became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council that the Western Army had a better life.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Zhao Gou will change his generals before the formation, and the Chong family will be sad and angry.

"I'm very sad, but I don't know what to do. In terms of seniority, ability, and... family members, they are either too young or have already died in battle. Besides, the military power belongs to the government, King Kang..."

Zhong Yi spoke for a moment, and sighed heavily, "I said these words again. In the early years, I was called by my grandfather to beat me with the army stick several times for talking nonsense. But I..."

He tilted his head slightly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes: "Please pretend that I never said anything today."

Zhao Yuan nodded slowly but firmly, then shook his head again.

Zhong Yi's face changed slightly.

"To the outside world, I only think that you 'have never said anything' today. But in reality, I can hear you clearly." Zhao Yuan tried hard not to laugh like crying, "You are trusting me What, Thirteen Lang?"

Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course I trust you."

"But you and I have only known each other for three months."

"Di Ji is a trustworthy person." Zhong Yi smiled slightly, his eyes gradually softened, "Just like a grandfather."

Well……

Quite a compliment for a teenager who adored his grandfather so much.

Zhao Yuan smiled again, trying to make the topic easier.But they didn't take two steps, and another sergeant came to look for Zhong Yi in a hurry.Perhaps because it was a matter of confidentiality, the sergeant whispered in Zhong Yi's ear.After finishing speaking, Zhong Yi was silent for a long time.

"Damn!"

Once the usually very self-cultivated young man broke out, he would be quite cruel when he scolded others, "Who do they think they are? A group of civil servants who are fed and supported! Retreating to the Yellow River, thanks to them thinking it out! It's not easy to say that the Jinbing is powerful Offended, and later said that Jin Bing is too weak to withstand a single blow and should be taken urgently--it is really a bunch of bastards talking about armies on paper!"

"No, it's not even as good as talking about war on paper!" The young man blushed with anger, "Is General Zong conniving like this? Li Xianggong has nothing to say? King Kang doesn't understand, and they don't understand when they are in the Privy Council? Hongling is in a hurry ? I want to see him!"

The sergeant whispered something more.

Zhong Yi hastily explained to Zhao Yuan for a while, seeing Zhao Yuan's expression remained normal, nodded slightly at him, and then hurriedly followed the sergeant to leave.

Not long after, Zhao Yuan heard about Hongling's urgent mission from other generals.

Those old men in the Privy Council who only take money and don't work actually plan to let the Song army withdraw southward and stay at the Yellow River!

It is said that Li Gang argued hard, but he still couldn't beat those old men.Since the death of Han Qi Di Qing, the Privy Council has not been as good as the previous generation, and this time they actually issued such a hopeless signature, which really makes people itch with hatred.

Although Zhao Yuan didn't want to admit it very much, he still had to sigh with emotion that "scholars misled the country".

No matter whether it was Zong Ze, Wu Jie, Zhong Yi, or even Zhao Yuan himself, no one wanted to withdraw troops at this juncture.

It took a lot of effort to get half of the game back. Wouldn't it be absurd to withdraw the troops now!

But at the moment Kang Wang Zhao Gou is the Generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, whether it is the Western Army or the Beijing Camp, everything must be under the control and jurisdiction of Zhao Gou.Zhao Gou and the Privy Council said that they would withdraw their troops, which was basically a certainty.

It seems that she still overestimated Zhao Gou.

That guy is not only afraid of generals like Zhao Ji, but also likes schoolboys who repeatedly delay military planes!

Zhao Yuan finally went to find Hong Ling's envoy urgently.

She didn't talk nonsense to the other party, and said first: "I am the sister of His Royal Highness King Kang, Empress Roufu."

Hong Ling hurriedly took out a letter with Zhao Gou's private seal from her waist, handed it to Zhao Yuan, and persuaded her: "Emperor Ji should go back to the south earlier. This place is in chaos. Never beautiful."

Zhao Yuan scanned the letter from the beginning to the end, and it was full of Zhao Gou's worries and greetings to her as a girl.It is undeniable that Zhao Gou is a good brother who loves his sister, but it is also undeniable that Zhao Gou is a war scum who only drags his feet when it comes to soldiers!

Well, she can't force how powerful a prince who has never been on the battlefield is, it's unrealistic.

But at least it can't be dragged down over and over again, right?

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, then asked Hong Ling's urgent envoy: "In your opinion, are the Jin people powerful?"

Hongling hurriedly put on a look of fear: "On that day, a certain person went to the Golden Camp with His Royal Highness Kang Wang, and acted as a hostage..."

"That's enough, don't say any more." Zhao Yuan shook his head, trying to make his tone sound calmer: "I'll let you see with your own eyes how weak the extremely powerful golden soldier you said is."

Hong Ling anxiously turned pale: "Emperor Ji don't want to play tricks on XX."

Zhao Yuan glanced at him: "I'll just let you see with your own eyes how 'powerful' the Jin Man really is, that's all."

Hong Ling was so anxious that he was speechless for a long time, and rolled his eyes.

Zhao Yuan didn't talk too much nonsense with him, but went to Zhong Yi, and after obtaining consent, he said a few words to Zong Bi and his soldiers.

First she told Zong Bi that all his soldiers were dead.

Immediately afterwards, she told Zong Bi's soldiers that Zong Bi was dead.

Jinying's sky has completely turned upside down.
