Text Chapter 372: Strong generals gather together

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chao Yong has been busy recently compiling the Daliang Dictionary. In fact, it means adding a later pinyin to all the words. The meanings of the words are directly copied from "Lei Pian" compiled by Sima Guang.  (Baidu search) This calligraphy book was compiled less than fifty years ago and contains more than 30,000 characters. It can be said that all the characters are basically included.

    In fact, Chinese characters have had phonetic notation methods for a long time, starting with the direct phonetic method, which means using homophones to notate the phonetic notes, such as "root" is the same as "hee".  But the disadvantages of this phonetic notation are also obvious.  Therefore, later there was fanqie, which used two characters to phonetically pronounce one character.  For example, "Dong, Du Zongqie" is to use the initial consonant of Du, the final rhyme and the tone of Zong to notate winter.

    It can be said that fanqie is very similar to the pinyin of later generations, but there are some words that are easy to make mistakes when using fanqie.

    What Chao Yong has to do is to use pinyin instead of fanqie to phoneticize all Chinese characters, and then let people all over the world pronounce the same pronunciation.  This work is almost completed, and the remaining work is to arrange the words in the order of pinyin.  This workload is relatively large, and Chao Yong needs many assistants to complete it.

    Suddenly a gust of wind blew in from the window, causing the books on the desk to flip over.

    The eunuch waiting on the side hurriedly suppressed the book.

    Chao Yong walked to the window and realized that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain was about to come.

    A flash of lightning flashed, followed by a deafening thunder, and heavy rain poured down.

    Lu Junyi and others may have also been caught in the rain. They crossed the Yellow River yesterday and planned to rest for a day at Chenqiao Station. After the emperor personally rewarded the three armies, the prince would lead the troops to support the northwest.

    After all, they are not far from Tokyo now, so they must not be able to escape the rain.

    I hope this rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

    Otherwise, if the army is delayed for one day, the situation in the northwest will worsen.  Lu Junyi's army marched south from Xiongzhou for ten days, marching hundreds of miles every day.  Not unpleasant at all.  But during these ten days, battle reports came in frequently from the northwest.

    The Xixia army came out of Xi'an Prefecture and Huaide's army. The general magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture, Ren Dejing, led his people to open the city gate and dedicated the city to Xixia.  Liu Quan, the military commander of Huaide Army, and Du Yishi, the general judge, led the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend the city and resisted the Xixia troops for more than ten days. The city was broken and killed.

    After breaking through the two states, Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, led 200,000 troops southward from Xi'an Prefecture to attack the Deshun Army, and King Chage of Jin led 200,000 troops from the Huaide Army southward to attack the Zhenrong Army.

    The two marching routes were familiar to Xixia soldiers and horses. At that time, the founding emperor of Xixia, Li Yuanhao, defeated the Song soldiers in Dingchuan Village of Zhenrong Army and Haoshuichuan of Deshun Army.  However, due to the approaching reinforcements from the Song Dynasty, they retreated after looting.

    Li Qianshun chose these two routes because he obviously wanted to surpass the achievements of his ancestors.

    Mr. Lao Zhong also knew that Weizhou could not be defended alone. He had already sent Liu Zhongwu, the commander of Xi and Weidu, to lead 20,000 troops to guard the Zhenrong Army, and his younger brother Zhong led 20,000 troops to guard the Deshun Army.

    The Zhenrong Army is in the north of Weizhou.  Deshun's army is west of Weizhou.  If Xixia soldiers and horses want to attack Weizhou, they must first capture one of them.  But once the Weizhou city is broken, the Xixia army can enter the Guanzhong Plain without any danger.

    Fortunately, the Deshun Army was located at the Liupan Mountain Pass, and the Zhenrong Army was built along the Hulu River, and was protected by many forts.  By the time the Xixia soldiers and horses reached the two cities, all the Western troops had also returned.  Prime Minister Laozhong also sent soldiers and horses on the Jingyuan Road to reinforce the Huaide Army, and soldiers and horses on the Xihe Road to reinforce the Zhenrong Army.

    The Zhenrong Army and the Deshun Army each had 30,000 defenders. In addition, Zhong Shizhong and Liu Zhongwu were both famous generals of the Western Army. It was difficult for the Xixia troops to capture them for a while.

    However, the soldiers and horses on Huanqing Road and Yanyan Road were worried that Xixia soldiers and horses would go south.  Having returned to their respective stations, the Zhejia Army was also worried that Fuzhou would be invaded by the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms, so they directly crossed the Yellow River from the Yongxing Army and returned to Hedong.

    The only troops and horses available to Mr. Laozhong, the strategist, were only 50,000 men from Lu Zhishen, Li Congji, Li Ying, Sun Li and Yang Zhi who were reinforced by Daliang.

    When Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, attacked Deshun's army, he also divided his forces to capture Huizhou and Gongzhou.  The Qiang people who had surrendered in the Hehuang area in the past few years also took the opportunity to cause rebellion, seizing the city or attaching themselves to Tubo.  Or in Xixia, the cities to the west of Deshun's army, except Xizhou, were still holding on desperately, and all the other cities had fallen.

    It is more than 1,700 miles from Kaifeng to Weizhou. Even if we travel a hundred miles a day, it will take more than half a month. If we encounter such rainy days and it will be delayed, I hope the Zhenrong Army and Deshun Army can hold on until then, otherwise  Many more people will suffer.

    It rained for half a day before it stopped. That night, Tan Ma reported that Lu Junyi and others had arrived at Chenqiao Station.

    The next day, Chao Gai led hundreds of civil and military officials to Chenqiao Post to personally reward the three armies.  Each sergeant had a pound of wine and meat, which the officials below had already prepared and transported to Chenqiaoyi.

    Lu Junyi and others knew that the emperor was personally coming to reward the three armies, so they led the army lieutenants and generals to welcome him ten miles away early.

    When the group arrived at the military camp, all the sergeants and soldiers were also at the school.Waiting for the holy driver.

    As soon as Emperor Huagai entered the camp, the soldiers of the three armies shouted: "Long live, long live, long live."

    It was not until Chao Gai walked to the general stand that the shouts of the soldiers of the three armies stopped.

    Chao Gai said: "I founded the country in just four months, but already there are nearly a hundred military prefectures, all thanks to the efforts of all the soldiers. You traveled across mountains and rivers, overcame dangers, conquered Hebei for me, expanded our territory, and even repulsed the invading Liao Dynasty.  Army, to promote our power in the Central Plains, I will give each person five guans, one pound of wine, and one pound of meat to show his merit. Recently, Xixia invaded the border and invaded the people.  , Lu Junyi, Han Cunbao, Dong Ping, and Guan Sheng formed their own wings, and all the soldiers worked together to clear the border and sing a victory song early."

    The Hebei states descended upon the wind, and the Liao soldiers and horses were frightened off after only a small killing. The soldiers originally thought they were just going to be rewarded with some wine and meat, but when they heard that there was still five pieces of money, they couldn't help but cheer.

    When everyone arrived at the Chinese army's tent, officials from the Ministry of Rites had already prepared a banquet.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    After three rounds of drinking, Chao Yong came to Han Cunbao with a wine bowl. Seeing Han Cunbao's face turned red and sweating like rain, he couldn't help but wonder: "Is General Han feeling unwell?"

    Han Cunbao picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "It's okay. It rained yesterday and caught some wind and cold. The sweat will be fine. Come, I respect the prince."

    Chao Yong said hurriedly: "Since General Han is unwell, I will disrespect you. The general has been on the campaign for more than a month. Why don't you go to Tokyo to rest for a while, and I will mobilize Wu Songbu for the western expedition."

    Hearing this, Han Cunbao hurriedly said: "There is a little bit of wind and cold, and it will be fine in a day or two. General Lu and three others are going to the northwest, how can I fall behind?"

    Lu Junyi and the other three are in their prime, but Han Cunbao is a veteran. Chao Yong is really afraid that he will make a mistake along the way.  But he also knew that none of these generals were convinced by their old age, so he couldn't say it so bluntly.

    "Actually, I want you and Guan Sheng to rest in Tokyo and prepare to attack Tian Hu. You two are familiar with the situation in Hedong. After defeating Xixia, I will attack Hedong. At that time, I want you two to do  pioneer."

    "Thank you for your consideration, Prince, and I will obey your orders."

    Han Cunbao also guessed Chao Yong's original intention, but all he wanted was to go into battle and kill the enemy. Although he couldn't fight Xixia, it would be good to go back and serve as a vanguard to fight Hedong.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "General Han is not feeling well, so he will eat less wine to avoid any mishaps. When he returns to the capital, I will ask the genius doctor An Daoquan to visit General Han's house."

    Han Cunbao no longer refused, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Prince."

    Chao Yong nodded to Han Cunbao and walked next to Guan Sheng'an.

    Guan Sheng originally had a face as thick as a jujube, but after eating a few bowls of wine, his face was red and almost bleeding.

    Chao Yong toasted Guan Sheng with a bowl and said with a smile: "I want to arrange for General and General Han to rest and recuperate in Tokyo"

    When Guan Sheng heard this, he immediately became anxious. In the battle against the Liao Dynasty, Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, and Hua Rong all made contributions. He and Wu Yanguang fought for a while, and finally five or six leaders worked together to capture Wu Yanguang.

    Hearing what Chao Yong said, he immediately said: "No one in the general's department was injured. The soldiers are about to go to the northwest to perform meritorious service. Please ask the prince for permission."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I want you to take a rest and prepare to attack Hedong. You are familiar with the geography of Hedong, and I will use you as the vanguard. How about it?"

    Guan Sheng was unmoved and asked, "When will we attack Hedong?"

    Chao Yong saw that Guan Sheng was not fooled, so he had no choice but to say: "After defeating Xixia, General Han was infected with the wind and cold. I was afraid that he would make a mistake, but if I just transferred him, he would be reluctant. General Han is old.  If it makes him unhappy and his condition worsens, it will be a big sin. That¡¯s why I sent you two troops to rest. Don¡¯t worry, General Guan, your troops will definitely be the main force when we attack Hedong.¡±

    Guan Sheng looked at Han Cunbao who was also blushing, so he nodded and said: "The prince is kind-hearted, how can I dare to refuse again. The general is here to wish the prince success and defeat Xixia in one fell swoop."

    Chao Yong picked up the wine bowl and drank it all with Guan Sheng. He smiled and said, "Okay, there have been many changes in the Tokyo military camp. I would like to ask General Guan for more opinions."

    Guan Sheng put down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "There are many masters of military arts in Tokyo. If they can't see it, I am useless. I will wait for the crown prince's triumphant return in Tokyo, and then go to wipe out Tian Hu."

    Chao Yong came to the front of Wu Song¡¯s case, sat on the floor, and waved to Mu Hong who was standing beside him.

    As soon as Mu Hong came over, he saw Li Kui running out from behind Lu Junyi and squeezing in front of Chao Yong to sit down. He said with a smile, "Come here, I'll give you a bowl. No need to worry about military regulations today. Let's all have a good time."

    Ruan Xiaoqi saw the excitement here and joined in.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "You two, even if youEat, Wu Song and Mu Hong don't eat too much. Return to camp in the afternoon to gather troops and horses. Tomorrow you two will follow me to the northwest.  "

    Wu Song had previously told Chao Yong that he wanted to fight Xixia, but Chao Yong refused. After hearing this, he said happily: "Okay."

    Mu Hong asked suspiciously: "When we leave, who will guard Tokyo?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Han Cunbao and Guan Sheng have returned to Beijing to rest and recuperate. General Han is a bit old. He caught the wind and cold yesterday. It's time to return to Beijing to recuperate."

    Li Kui tore a chicken leg, shook his head and said, "You'll get sick after a little rain, and your body is too weak."

    Chao Yong glared at Li Kui and told him to shut up.

    Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said: "That's good, we Liangshan brothers can kill the enemy together again."

    Li Kui smiled and said: "Xiao Qi is talking about Brother Wu Song and Brother Lu Zhishen. It's a pity that Brother Liu Tang is under the command of Coach Lin. Otherwise, the four of us would kill Xixia to pieces."
