I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 417
Taiping Prefecture, Daying on the outskirts of the city.

After Zong Ze's death, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others desperately brought the soldiers out.

Everyone is wounded, demoralized and hungry.

There was an air of despair in the camp, and the smell of blood stimulated the soldiers, making them unable to forget their situation for a moment.

The most terrible thing is that among the local people, they are the enemies.

Because they are the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty have already forced the people of Jiangnan Road to die.

At this moment, Yiqi flew over and arrived at the camp.

The person who came was wearing the uniform of the captain of Yihui, and the big horse under his crotch was very handsome. Under the numb eyes of all the soldiers, he came outside the commander's tent.

"Where is Yue Fei?"

The curtain was lifted, and a man who looked haggard but still had firm eyes came out.

"I am Yue Fei."

The visitor unfolded an imperial decree and said loudly: "Yue Fei accepts the decree."

The people present were somewhat hostile. Looking at the captain who came to announce the decree, in their view, it was nothing more than an imperial decree on crimes after the defeat.

Maybe Yue Fei will also be escorted back to Beijing.

After the imperial decree was read, everyone was stunned. So many things happened during the few days they were fleeing in Qingxi Cave.

His Majesty passed away, Privet went south, Prime Minister Cai passed away, and the Empress succeeded.
Even Yue Fei, who has always been calm, couldn't help scratching his head.

Then there is the content of the imperial decree. Yue Fei was ordered in the face of danger, and was canonized as the general manager of Jiangnan Road, temporarily in charge of all affairs of Jiangnan Road.

The right to kill first and play later is specially given. Those who do not follow the state capitals are like rebellion.

Moreover, the imperial court is about to find a way to transport them, from the heavy siege, to transport food, grass and supplies.

Don't think that the treasury of the Song Dynasty is really empty. In fact, it is very rich. The old coins prepared for Khitan and Dangxiang alone are enough for the Song army to eat.

Although Song Dynasty often did not pay military salaries, it has always been very concerned about the annual coins given to Fanbang, and the emphasis is on giving one and depositing three.

That is to say, those who have not been given one year will prepare for the next three years, so as to avoid delays and provide an excuse for Fanbang to go south.

In all fairness, this decree is completely different from the past.

It stands to reason that they should be happy, but when Yue Fei heard that the empress had ascended the throne, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Han Shizhong patted him on the shoulder excitedly, and said, "I don't know if the food and grass mentioned by the imperial court can be delivered."

Yue Fei called Captain Yihui to stop him, and asked about the current situation in the Song Dynasty, and said, "Now that Ligustrum is going south, the 10,000+ soldiers and horses of the Daming Mansion have not won the battle?"

"Daming Mansion?" Lieutenant Yihui shook his head and spat: "Liang Zhongshu of Daming Mansion is a complete idiot. He was first broken into the city by Liangshan bandits, and then his father-in-law helped him escape and forcibly escorted Wen Da and Li Cheng Enter Beijing."

Han Shizhong stomped his feet, "If the privet goes south, isn't the Daming Mansion without a leader?"

In a military town, all the senior generals were actually dealt with.

In the eyes of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, this is downright absurd, but Cai Jing and others know about officialdom struggles, so they don't care about it.

In the final analysis, my own interests are greater than the sky, and I have never considered the imperial court at all.

Lieutenant Yihui continued to scold: "What's even more hateful is that Soochow and Datang sent troops into the country to take advantage of the fire and loot them."

Han Shizhong was still concerned about the food and grass. He continued to ask: "It is said that the food and grass are supplemented, but do you know how to make up for it? Now that there are wars and horses, and there are scattered Tartars near Bianliang, how will the food and grass be transported out?"

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "My master has his own way."

At that time, Zhu Wu followed the old strategist in the decisive battle with the party members in Hengshan, and the Western Army was also deducted from the military salary by the court. At that time, everyone thought it was a dead end.

However, Li Yu transported enough military rations for 10 people for three days overnight, turning a near defeat into a big victory.

Although he didn't know how his master did it, Zhu Wu understood that Li Yu could bring as much luck as he wanted.

Yue Fei sighed, and said: "The national crisis is at stake, we must cheer up as soon as possible, defeat Fang La, and then move northward to drive out the privet thieves. Khitan, I didn't expect to dare to repay my kindness with revenge. They took advantage of the chaos to kill my people, slaughtered my city, and besieged my capital, which is tolerable and unbearable."

Looking at the demoralized camp, Han Shizhong rolled his eyes, dodged the imperial decree, ran to the arrow tower and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has passed away, and the new emperor has ascended the throne. He has pardoned us for the crime of defeat and made up the food and wages. Everyone who dies or is injured in battle will be compensated!"

His voice is so loud that the entire barracks can hear it clearly, and those who are close will not find it harsh, and those who are far away will not be inaudible.

For a moment there was thunderous cheers in the camp, and soon the quartermaster ran out, his face flushed, and he shouted loudly: "The grain and grass have indeed arrived! The grain and grass have indeed arrived!"

Yue Fei was startled suddenly, and dragged him to the grain storage place, where there were many weapons, armors, grain and grass neatly arranged.

After the defeat, Yue Fei would inspect here every night, and he remembered exactly how much food was left.

All of a sudden, there was so much more food and weapons, it was like falling from the sky.

On the grain and grass, there was a sign bestowed by the emperor, which attracted everyone to kneel down and worship.

Yue Fei was overjoyed and said loudly: "Buy the pot and make rice!"

Of course it was Li Yu who delivered the food, but at this moment, he was trying his best to create a god.

All the credit should be put on Zhao Fujin, and the position of this empress must be stabilized, and in the hearts of the soldiers and people of the Song Dynasty, she should become the only emperor they support.

Yue Fei looked at the soldiers whose morale had recovered, and then at the imperial decree in Han Shizhong's hand, as if seeing the dawn.

Everything will be fine.
-
Bianliang, in the imperial city.

Several so-called Khitan royal families knelt in the Golden Palace, begging the Song emperor to avenge them, and expressing that the Khitans were willing to submit to the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Fujin, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, proclaimed himself the Lord of Khitan, and included all the territory of Khitan twice as large as that of the Song Dynasty into the Song Dynasty.

Although these places are all under the control of Privet, everyone knows that there are only a few people in Privet.

Now that Da Song is at war with Ligustrum, one of the two sides must lose. When Ligustrum dies, Da Song will have a chance to grab so much land.

Otherwise, if these lands fall into the hands of the Turks, Xianbei, Jurchen, etc., another huge disaster will surely arise.

Zhao Fujin returned to the bedroom, flung his sleeves and stretched his limbs, lying on the dragon couch.

Xue Baoqin was at the side, and said: "Your Majesty, the morning court is over, you can change the crown clothes."

"I don't want to move."

Although the clothes were tiring to wear, Zhao Fujin was also a monk with high mana.

She is purely mentally tired, not physically tired, she is too tired to carry on the dragon chair.

She was about to fall asleep several times, if Bao Qin kept reminding her, she would have made a fool of herself.

Suddenly, she got up with a stick of her buttocks, and said with a smile: "Bao Qin, let's go out and play."

"Eh go out to play?"

"Let's go to Zhengjingmen, play with Sister Lian'er, and ask her to take us to the city to eat delicious food."

"I don't want to go, let people know that I abducted His Majesty out of the palace, isn't this a capital offense?"

Zhao Fujin embraced her shoulders, patted her chest, raised his chin and said, "What are you afraid of? I have me to protect you."
