Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Wu Jie and Yelu Dashi rode war horses and led the army to Xixia in a mighty manner, the two places were far apart and they would not be able to reach them in a short while.

    Whether it is the Xixia battlefield or the Yanyun battlefield, too many accidents have occurred. Now no one can control the situation. Although they are all determined to win, no one can decide which side the goddess of victory will favor.  Know.

    Xixia, in particular, is already hanging on by a thread. At the beginning, they deployed heavy troops in Helan Mountain. However, now that the imperial army has bypassed Helan Mountain, the rear is empty. Li Qianshun can only send reinforcements to accompany the capital Xiping Mansion. As for Xiazhou and others  He could only ask Fuzhou for help, but firstly, the Zhe family in Fuzhou were their mortal enemies, and secondly, they were unwilling to send troops to rescue Xiningzhou. How could the Song Dynasty still help them?

    Li Qianshun himself was not optimistic about this, but he really had no choice. For this reason, he also sent his ace diplomat, Richard.

    Fuzhou.

    "Your Majesty, don't say anything more. Not to mention that all the troops in my prefecture have been transferred to Yanyun. Even if they were not transferred, I would not send troops. Not long ago, our Xining Prefecture was besieged. How did you do it? Thanks to you,  If you have the nerve to come to me for help, please don¡¯t discuss sending troops."

    The person who spoke was a man in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and a burly figure. At a glance, he knew he was a tiger general. This man was Zhe Yanshi, the third son Zhe could ask for.

    Zhe Keqiu took his eldest son and younger son to the expedition, leaving Zhe Yanshi here to guard Fuzhou.

    This Zheyan was in his prime of life, and because he was a descendant of the Zhe family, he was born with an aura of hatred towards the Dangxiang people. Almost all members of the Zhe family died at the hands of the Dangxiang people. In addition, the Dangxiang people in front of him  His refusal to save him made him look down on the Dangxiang people, thinking that the Dangxiang people were selfish, cunning and untrustworthy.

    At this age, Richard was very sincere when meeting such a calf, and even begged Zhe Yanshi to send troops to aid Xiazhou.

    Zheyanshi was already in a bad mood. His eldest brother died in the battle and his father was seriously injured. How can he feel better now? He said that he was impatient and asked someone to see him off.

    Richard, the dignified prince of Xixia, was kicked out of the house by a yellow-haired boy. He was completely humiliated, but his life was almost gone. He still had time to care about his face. He also wanted to go to his good friend Li Qi.  , but Li Qiyuan is in Yunzhou. After this back and forth, Xiazhou City may be destroyed and people will die. Once Xiazhou is destroyed, the Hetao area will be completely in the hands of the enemy, and Wu Ci Haicheng will not be protected. Then everything will be over.

    Thinking of this, Richard rode his horse and walked on the street. He couldn't help covering his face and crying. This crying became uncontrollable. The more he cried, the more scared he became, and the more scared he became, the more miserable he cried.

    The people in Fuzhou didn't know Richard, but they saw this man dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, but he was crying so miserably, and he was a seven-foot tall man. He was crying on the street here. Some people were curious, some laughed, and some whispered.  .

    "But Richard can no longer care about so much and continues to cry for himself. You can look at it this way if you like. Our party members are about to perish. Aren't I allowed to cry?"

    Just when Richard was crying happily, he suddenly heard a sigh, "It would be great if crying could save the fate of the party members."

    When Richard heard this, he immediately looked around, "Who was talking just now?"

    "My lord, the one who spoke just now seems to be the fisherman who just walked over."

    "A fisherman?"

    Richard turned around and saw a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat walking forward slowly, and said hurriedly: "Quickly stop that fisherman and bring him to see me."

    His followers yelled a few times at first, but the fisherman ignored them and continued to move forward. The followers pursued him again and stopped in front of the fisherman. It seemed that the conversation between the two parties was not ideal, and the fisherman still did not come over.

    Richard quickly dismounted and ran over in person. He bowed his head and said, "Master, please stay."

    When he raised his head, he said, "Plant¡ª¡ªplant."

    ??But under the bamboo hat was an old face with white beard and hair, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

    This person is exactly the kind of teacher.

    Zhong Shidao raised his head slightly and looked at Richard's haggard face, with a look of struggle between his brows. After a while, he suddenly sighed, "If you don't mind the trouble, please follow me to Zhe Mansion."  Let¡¯s go.¡±

    The tone was very plain. The Zhong family army also had a deep hatred for the Dangxiang people. Zhong Shidao was also a human being. His son also died in the hands of the Dangxiang people. He could not wait to destroy the Dangxiang people with his own hands, so he came here with complicated thoughts.  However, cultivating teachers is ultimately cultivating teachers. He understands that compared to the country, this personal hatred is simply not worth mentioning, so he came.

    When Richard saw Master Zhongdao, he really cried with joy and wished he could hug the old man and kiss him a few times.

      "Young Master, the Prince of Xixia is here again."

    "It's unreasonable. This is really a lingering ghost. Just say that I am very busy now and have no time to see him and ask him to go back early."

    As soon as Zheyanshi finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the servant stumbled in and sat down on the ground.  Zhe Yanshi became angry from embarrassment, slapped the table and said, "Who is so bold and dares to take over my house?" This was obviously directed at Richard.

    I heard a loud voice say, "Although I am already in my old age, I still have a little courage left."

    When Zhe Yanshi heard this voice, he stood up in fright, looked at it intently, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down and bow, "My nephew Yanshi has met Uncle Zhong, but he didn't know that Uncle Zhong was coming, and his words were offensive.  Please ask Uncle Zhong to punish you."

    If this were any other elder, the most he would do is clasp his fists and bow, but is Zhong Shidao an ordinary person? He is highly respected in the Western Army. His father had to bow and salute when he saw Zhong Shidao. Moreover, he had just spoken rashly and had to kneel down.  Apologize politely.

    Master Zhong smiled slightly and said, "You get up first."

    Oriyan stood up.

    Zhong Shidao patted his shoulder and sighed: "I have already heard about your brother and your father. Don't be too sad. This is the fate of our two families. On the battlefield, it is the most important thing for our two families."  A fitting grave, you should be proud of your brother."

    Hearing these words, Zheyanshi's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but he still held back tears and nodded a few times through gritted teeth.

    Master Zhong turned around again and said, "Your Majesty, please come in."

    "Hey, hey."

    Richard then walked in and said to Zhe Yan, "General Zhe, I've taken the liberty of disturbing you again."

    Oriyan turned his face directly and snorted softly.

    Teacher Zhong didn¡¯t say much, because he was very understanding, and he smoothed things over and asked them to sit down first.

    After the three of them sat down, Master Zhong said: "Xiong Nephew, our Zhong family and your Zhe family have guarded the western border of the Song Dynasty for generations. Our ancestors always put state affairs first when they encounter problems, and their loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon.  , you must not destroy the reputation that generations of people have built up with their lives. Now we, the Song Dynasty and Xixia, have become allies, advancing and retreating together, it can be said to be an alliance of lips and teeth, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!"

    Zheyan said: "Uncle Zhong, you understand why, but some people don't think so. What did they do when I, Xining Prefecture, was besieged?"

    Richard hurriedly said: "What the young general said is that my lord listened to the slander for a while and missed the opportunity. He has regretted it in his heart. Now he has all those people beheaded in public. I hope the young general can ignore the past grievances and send troops to rescue."

    Teacher Zhong said: "No one has faults. Moreover, it was a matter of survival of the Xixia Kingdom at that time. It is understandable that the Xixia Kingdom's leader acted cautiously. We must focus on the overall situation."

    Zhe Yanshi said: "Uncle Zhong, even if I want to send troops, all the soldiers and horses in my prefecture have been transferred to Yanyun, and there are no soldiers to go."

    Master Zhong said: "I have sent people to Yan'an Prefecture to mobilize troops. We have gathered troops from Yan'an Prefecture, Fuzhou, and Fenzhou. We can gather 20,000 troops and horses. Plus Xiazhou troops and horses, we can meet the urgent need."

    Zhe Yanshi was still a little reluctant and said: "But¡ª¡ªbut without the order of the emperor and the Privy Council, if we easily send troops and transfer these troops to Xiazhou, then Fuzhou and Fenzhou will be very empty."

    Master Zhong said: "If the matter is urgent, I will personally lead the troops there. If the emperor blames me, I will bear the responsibility. As for the empty state you said, my nephew, you are really confused. If Xiazhou is in the state,  The state will have no worries. If Xiazhou is destroyed, if the Jin soldiers really come to attack, will you be sure to hold it?"

    These words imply Zheyanshi, now we are not going to save Xixia, but Xixia is helping us contain the Jin soldiers. Do you think that the Jin Kingdom is spending so much effort just to plot the Hetao area and the Hexi Corridor of Xixia? If so, the Jin Kingdom  Do you need to be in such a hurry? The Jin Kingdom's attack on Xixia is actually an attempt to plot against us, the Song Dynasty. Xixia is helping us block the sword. You don't care about Xixia or rescue neighboring Xiazhou. Once Xiazhou is conquered by the Jin army, you can do it at any time.  If we attack your prefecture, your prefecture will face a more powerful enemy. Will your prefecture be at peace?

    Zhe Yanshi might not take it seriously when others said this, but since it came from Zhong Shidao, of course he listened. He looked surprised and said, "Uncle Zhong wants to lead the troops in person?"

    This kind of teacher has long since returned to his hometown, and he has the empty post of a Taiwei. In the Western Military Region, his reputation is unmatched. At least he can mobilize their Zhongjia army, and he also has a Taiwei.  Lieutenant position.

    Zhong Shidao let out another long sigh and said: "I became an official at the beginning just because I saw that Li Qi and Yue Fei were able to shoulder the responsibility of our country and the country of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty did not need me as an old man.It was over, and I didn¡¯t need to worry about it anymore, so I retired and returned to my hometown. I planned to go back to my hometown to see my old friends, see my relatives, and take care of myself, but I didn¡¯t expect it.  " At this point, he shook his head slightly, "It seems that I still can't escape the arrangement of fate. If the country needs me, I am willing to use my last breath to defend my territory of the Song Dynasty. Even if I die, my soul will still wander.  On top of Hengshan Mountain, continue to guard the western border for our Song Dynasty.  "

    He lived a life of integrity, never being tempted by fame and wealth, never surrendering to power, and devoted himself to serving the country. Even though he is now over eighty years old, it cannot stop him from serving the country. A loyal minister is nothing more than that. Why is Zhong Shidao respected by the world? It is not because of him  He is so good at fighting, but he has a very unique personality charm.

    Hearing this, Zhe Yanshi felt extremely ashamed and felt ashamed. He stood up and clasped his fists, "My nephew is willing to go on an expedition with Uncle Zhong."
