At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 288

"Look, Madam, Sanlang made a little plan to expel the Liu family." Zhao Shi handed the memorial to Yang.

This is a secret book written by Zhang Zhensun himself, clearly describing the causes and consequences.

Yang looked at it and said with a smile: "It still lacks heat. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that."

"But he is a little impatient. However, the king is dignified and upright, so it doesn't matter." Zhao Shi paused, and then said: "The third brother has grown up, and there will be no changes in Ning Guo's handover to him."

"Zhang Zhensun is still outstanding." Yang said.

Zhao Shi smiled and said: "It is also the king's ability to employ people."

Yang's face turned pale and he said, "Brother, are you sure you will be the emperor's commander in person after the new year?"

Zhao Shi replied: "Now that the army has been reorganized and the grain and grass reserves are sufficient, it is now time to use troops.

The restoration of the old capital was the first achievement. Regardless of whether Zhang Shijie or others established it, they could only be granted the title of king and released to the outside world. The country could not do without them for the time being, so it had no choice but to share some of the credit. "

"It's just that no one in the center makes the decision, so there may be chaos." Yang made an excuse.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much." Zhao Shidao: "The cabinet is functioning well and there is Your Majesty in charge, how can there be chaos?"

He never mentioned the danger of his own expedition.

In addition to the army on the front line, the emperor himself will also lead [-] troops northward.

In addition to the [-] young soldiers who have been trained for more than three years, this pro-army also has [-] veterans and officers who are about to be promoted.

Although the number is small, they are absolutely elite, and they also have some experimental new weapons. Even if they face a siege three to five times the enemy, they will definitely be worthy.

"By the way, the second brother performed well in the Wa country and applied to join the Northern Expedition. What do you think?" Yang asked.

Zhao Shi replied: "I have instructed the Privy Council to transfer him to Jiang Cai's command as deputy battalion commander."

"I'm just afraid there will be danger." Yang said.

The battalion platoon leader still often goes to the front line. Facing a powerful enemy like the Yuan Army, the casualties will definitely not be low. Zhao's safety may not be guaranteed if he goes to the front line.

Zhao Shi did not take it seriously and said: "Since the first year of the war, nearly 20 people have died in the battlefield, but not a single son of the Zhao family has died.

When the royal family enjoys the world's worship, doesn't it set an example for the world?No matter what the second brother is like, he is enough to set an example for the world.

Not to mention sons and daughters, when the princes reach adulthood, they should remain anonymous and join the army to gain experience. This will be the case from now on, without exception. "

"This..." Yang was surprised and wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it.

"After Taizu Taizong, only Zhenzong Gaozong saw the dangers of military formations, but they had no choice but to do so.

On the whole, the Zhao family is not as good as the previous generation. If the late emperor had entered the army to gain experience, how could he inherit the unification based on his performance? "Zhao Shi complained.

Yang rolled his eyes and said, "If the late emperor does not inherit the throne, it is hard to tell whether you will or not, let alone your performance today."

Du Zong's performance cannot be said to be without merit, it can only be said that it has no bright spots, but if he were not the emperor, even if Zhao came, he would not complete the reverse deduction so simply.

Of course, simplicity is only relative.

It will be ten years soon. However, compared with the territory after Gaozong's southern crossing, although it has more Shandong Peninsula, Gaizhou, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, it still lacks half of Sichuan, Hanzhong, and Jiangxi. The overall area is slightly smaller, plus Zhendong Road , Sihan Road is pretty much the same.

The process was not easy either. The attack on Wenzhou was particularly dangerous, and we almost lost our lives.

However, it was precisely because of the emperor's leading performance that he inspired the whole army to fight hard that the current situation was achieved.

After ten years of fighting, the soldiers were exhausted and naturally felt war-weary, so the emperor went to the front line in person.

The only way to boost morale is to conduct a military expedition in person.

During the reign of Zhenzong, the Khitans failed to invade the south. A big reason was that their personal expeditions boosted morale. Of course, one could accidentally outwit a car god named Zhao, for example.

Zhao Shi was not worried.The purpose of lying dormant for two years was not only to accumulate food, but also to prepare some greeting gifts for Kublai Khan.

While mother and son were chatting in Chengtian Mansion, a group of princes, princesses and ministers, mostly thirty years away, were standing on the roadside.

Not a moment later, knights rushed over and immediately dismounted and lined up, blocking the people on both sides of the road from outside.

Two quarters of an hour later, Kublai Khan's banner appeared in everyone's sight. People along the way bowed down and shouted long live.

The world was impoverished because of the war, but there was still peace and prosperity in most of the capitals, so most of the people were willing to come to welcome the emperor.

In the crowd, Imperial City Secret Agent Shen Wuyi carefully looked at Kublai Khan's entourage.

Let’s not talk about infantry and cavalry, the huge gun is the most eye-catching, the cannon is still the same, but there are more small cannons.

This was a rare moment to observe the armaments of the Yuan army, and Shen Wuyi observed particularly carefully.

In the crowd, there were more than fifteen spies doing the same thing.

The Yuanting counter-spies were very powerful. They all came here disguised as refugees. They were all unlucky enough to die on the road. Many of those who survived were sent to Qin, Jin or Sichuan. Those who stayed were doing well.

Information transmission is also not easy.

Nowadays, when military and civilian merchants go on the road, they must have a guide, otherwise they will be treated as spies.

The spies could only mix in the caravan, use the caravan to go to Zhigu, and then find an opportunity to bury the information on the seaside, waiting for the navy to send a ship to retrieve it.

In the car, Kublai Khan was not in a good mood.

Naiyan is still active, and the north is not yet stable, but seeing that the Song army is going to attack again, he has to return to the center to take over the overall situation.

The Imperial City Division's counterintelligence is equally powerful, but clues on the front line cannot be hidden, and everyone can guess the opponent's plans.

At this time, the north has been covered with a thin layer of snow, and the nomads have been looking for a warm place to stay.

In a mountain valley in the north of the mountain, there are many camps and noisy people and horses.

In the king's tent, Naiyan looked at Xie Xianwen and said, "It's confirmed, Kublai Khan has returned to the capital, and the war in the north will be led by Yuxi Timur."

Xie Xianwen said: "Well, I am right, Kublai Khan cannot stay in the north forever."

"I admire the strategist's clever calculations." Naiyan complimented him and asked, "Now that it's snowing, do you want to launch a counterattack?"

"Of course we have to fight back." Xie Xianwen said: "But before that, the king should hold a coronation ceremony.

The so-called name is not justified, but only when the king becomes a great khan can he better command the various ministries and eventually become the lord of the grassland! "

"What the military advisor said is true. I, the king... no, I, the Khan, will do it immediately." Naiyan said.

"The ceremony must be grand, and it is best to have a great victory as a celebration." Xie Xianwen pointed at the map and said, "If the Great Khan believes in me and gives me [-] riders, I will sweep them all away."

"What?" Naiyan was stunned by Xie Xianwen's plan.

Thinking back to when he occupied Helin, Naiyan wanted to unite the four great khanates in the west, but he didn't want the four countries to be beaten by real gold and cry for father and mother, so he had no intention of paying attention to him.

Then Xie Xianwen suggested that he abandon Helin and harass Qinghai, Gansu, and Shanxi, but Naiyan was reluctant to part with Helin and kept fighting the main force of the Yuan army.

As a result, Hardana was instigated to rebel, and not only did he lose Lin, but he also lost 3 horses.

Later, Naiyan used Xie Xianwen's plan to use guerrilla warfare to deal with the Yuan army. Anyway, nomads are good at this.

Now that Kublai Khan is gone, there will definitely be a counterattack, but Xie Xianwen's goal is still too amazing.

Now that the weather has turned cold, all the Yuan army's troops have returned to Xanadu. There are at least 1 troops and horses, and a sneak attack of [-] people?I'm afraid it's not about giving away someone's head.

"The king can't believe it, and the Yuan army will not be prepared!" Xie Xianwen was confident.
