Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chao Yong did not notify the various ministries in the city, but the initial 5,000 people Chao Yong led and the 10,000 Wu Song tribe prepared to prepare for the division could not hide it from the local snakes in the city.

    The next day when Chao Yong and his party were reorganizing their troops, the people waiting to see them off outside the city gate were lined up for several miles.

    Chao Yong did not stop, he just waved to everyone on his horse and headed south according to the planned route.  In addition to the fifteen thousand people accompanying him, there were also rare treasures that Xixia had accumulated for generations.  The gold, silver and copper coins were simply counted and sealed for use in Ningxia Road.  Then there are Li Renai and Yelu Nanxian.

    Although there were some extra belongings, there were enough chariots and horses, and the team¡¯s speed did not slow down. They marched sixty miles every day.

    Chao Yong and his party came to Xiazhou via Yanzhou, Youzhou, and Xiazhou was the core area where the Weiming family raised their troops.  Lu Junyi has informed in advance that he will lead the leaders of Renzhong, Renli and Yinxia regions to visit Xiazhou.

    When the leaders of the various ministries learned that the Prince of Daliang was returning to Daliang via the Yinxia area, they prepared gifts to meet him. However, Chao Yong did not stop along the way. Therefore, as soon as Lu Junyi sent the message, the leaders of the ministries rushed to Xiazhou to prepare for the visit.  Xiazhou paid a visit to Prince Daliang together.

    Lu Junyi has surrendered all the state capitals in the Yinxia region, and the few tribes who were loyal to the Weiming clan also surrendered to Daliang under the persuasion of Renzhong and Renli.

    It is now early July, and the weather is getting a bit hotter.

    When Chao Yong and his party were still thirty miles away, Lu Junyi led the leaders of various ministries ten miles out of the city to greet them.

    Although these tribal leaders relied on exploiting their tribal people and wore the thinnest silk in the Central Plains, they were still sweating profusely after standing in the sun for half an hour.

    Lu Junyi is not a rigid person, and he does not insist on showing his sincerity in the sun.  However, there are no large woods outside the city, and naturally there is no shade.

    "Speaking of which, this is all the fault of Xixia. The battle between Xixia and Song Dynasty did not ensure the upper hand.  Especially after the Song Dynasty continued to use troops in the northwest, Xixia was retreating steadily.  In order to prevent the Western Army from attacking the city, Xixia cut down all the big trees near the city, and only small trees remained near the city.  Small trees cannot make siege engines, and naturally they cannot provide shade.

    Everyone kept wiping their sweat, but at this time they were sincerely looking forward to Chao Yong and his party.

    Finally, a four-clawed golden dragon flag appeared in the distance, and then a large army of soldiers and horses also appeared on the horizon.

    Although Lu Junyi had told everyone in advance that Daliang should not kneel down, when Chao Yong arrived, he did not.  There were still some tribal leaders who couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow.

    Chao Yong just asked everyone to avoid courtesy and asked Lu Junyi to ride with him.

    Lu Junyi, however, did not dare to advance at the same pace as Chao Yong. He missed half a horse and accompanied Chao Yong to the city.

    The leaders of the other ministries followed behind.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The biggest credit for defeating Xixia this time is that you won it."

    Lu Junyi said hurriedly: "If it hadn't been for the prince's surprise attack on Xingqing Mansion, the various ministries would not have surrendered. The general only made small contributions by borrowing the prince's power."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The soldiers and horses I brought with me to raid Xingqing Mansion are also under your command."

    "If it hadn't been for the leadership of the prince, they wouldn't have achieved such great achievements."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "General Lu, don't be too humble, otherwise I will give you a discount for your achievements."

    Lu Junyi smiled and said: "Actually, it was Yan Qing who gave me the advice. I attacked Yanzhou and surrendered Renli and Renzhong. Then I took over the Yinxia area."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "No matter who makes the plan, the coach must adopt their plan, so the plan can be implemented, so your contribution cannot be concealed. I haven't seen Xiao Yi for a long time. Come up and talk."

    Yan Qing followed Lu Junyi, and when he heard the prince's call, he rode up and followed Chao Yong on the other side.  He is further behind than Lu Junyi.

    "Xiaoyi has met the prince."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "You have made such a great contribution, how can the imperial court reward you?"

    Yan Qing smiled and said: "The prince knows. Xiao Yi is not an official, so the credit will be credited to the master."

    "Of course the court will not miss General Lu's reward, but the court can't pretend not to know about your contribution, right? Tell me, what do you want?"

    Yan Qing shook his head and said: "Xiao Yi really can't think of anything he wants. The money he was given in the past is enough for Shishi and I to travel around the world. It's useless to ask for other things."

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. I'll ask the emperor to reward you with a gold medal as if I were here in person. You can travel around the world and if you need anything, you can contact the local government. Of course, if you encounter any injustice, or  Corrupt officials, you can also use this gold medal to do things cheaply."

      Lu Junyi was greatly moved when he heard that Chao Yong actually wanted to ask the emperor to reward Yan Qing with a gold medal as if I were here in person, and hurriedly said: "How can Yan Qing receive such a gold medal if he is not an official?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Yan Qing is cautious and very intelligent, so he will not abuse this gold medal."

    After hearing this, Yan Qing said with a sad face: "Xiao Yi just wants to travel around the world. If the prince gives me this gold medal, won't it give me a lot of troubles? In my opinion, it's better not to give it up."

    Hearing this, Lu Junyi couldn't help scolding: "Xiao Yi, don't talk nonsense. No one else can ask for such a gold medal, so why bother?"

    Yan Qing said: "If I didn't have this gold medal, I would just avoid the corrupt officials when I saw them. But with this gold medal, I have to step forward to punish them. Wouldn't it be a lot more trouble?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "These things are up to you. If you are not in the mood, just go quietly. We don't know where you have been. When you travel around the mountains and rivers, you must use carriages, horses and boats. With this side  A gold medal can also save you a lot of trouble.¡±

    Yan Qing said helplessly: "It's really hard to win this gold medal."

    "Haha, I don't care about this. When I return to Tokyo, I will ask the emperor to give you a gold medal."

    Yan Qing wanted to say something else, but Lu Junyi glared at him and said, "Even if you are not an official, you can still do something for the court in the world. Could it be that if we conquer the country together, you will just ignore it."

    Seeing what Lu Junyi said, Yan Qing had no choice but to cup her hands and say, "Xiao Yi must make good use of the gold medal."

    Chao Yong asked: "How is the extermination of the bandits on Huanqing Road going?"

    On that day, Renzhong abandoned 100,000 soldiers and horses on Huanqing Road, and Xue Sichang surrendered most of them. However, there were still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses who did not surrender. Instead, they scattered on Huanqing Road and became rogues, plundering people everywhere.

    Chao Yong was furious when he heard that Zhong Shidao and others had reached an agreement with Xue Sichang.  His men have not spared the traitors, and Xue Sichang is undoubtedly much more shameless than the one who sacrificed Ren Dejing of Xi'an Prefecture. Ren Dejing's entire family was beheaded, so Xue Sichang should have killed three clans, but everyone agreed to spare Xue Sichang, and Chao  How can Yong not be angry?

    "However, Chao Yong can no longer trample everyone's commitments into the ground because of the decisions Zhong Shidao, Lu Junyi, Wu Song and others made together.  And everyone's decision is not wrong. Let Xue Sichang besiege Renzhong, which will not only speed up the destruction of Xixia, but also reduce the casualties of Daliang soldiers and horses.

    If Renzhong returns to Xixia with 200,000 troops, even if Chao Yong captures the Xingling area.  Renzhong also has enough soldiers and horses to guard the Yinxia area, so he may not easily surrender to Daliang.  Once the war resumes, Daliang will definitely win, but the price will certainly not be small.

    It can be said that everyone¡¯s choice is undoubtedly the wisest, and Chao Yong had to admit this, so after being angry for a while, he no longer had any grudges and rewarded everyone.

    After Lu Junyi surrendered Renzhong's army, he got in touch with Huanqing Road and Fuyan Road, and wanted to mobilize two troops into the Yinxia area.  After all, he only had five thousand troops under his command. Although all the troops had surrendered, Daliang had to send troops to garrison, so he knew the news about Huanqing Road very well.

    "After Li Ying arrived with 10,000 troops and 50,000 troops from his headquarters, he wiped out most of the bandits, leaving only a few small groups of bandits who could not hold back. Lin Chong and Liu Guangshi from Yanyan Road also led their troops after they arrived.  , and completely wiped out the bandits."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Well, the bandits on the Huanqing Road have been wiped out, and the Shaanxi Road will be stable. We can let the army reorganize the troops. The soldiers and horses on the Huanqing Road followed Xue Sichang and defected to Xixia, but I, Daliang, don't use this kind of thing."  The troops and horses must all be disarmed and returned to the fields.¡±

    Lu Junyi said: "How to arrange the defense of Yinxia area?"

    Chao Yong said: "Your troops have traveled thousands of miles, so you should rest in Xiazhou for a while, and at the same time, it will shock the other troops. There is no shortage of Han people in the Yinxia area. After a while, you can recruit troops there. Raid Xingqing Mansion  I will return the five thousand people to you, but Zhang Qing has been promoted to captain of ten thousand men, and he will follow me back to Tokyo to take up his post. "

    Lu Junyi smiled and said: "Zhang Qingduo has made great achievements, but he has been wronged under my command for a long time."

    When a group of people entered the Xiazhou Yamen, a banquet for the prince to welcome the prince and wash away his dust had been set up in the lobby.

    The wedding banquet prepared by Lu Junyi for Chao Yong was very luxurious. Not only the food and wine were treasures, but also the women dancing in the middle were all stunningly beautiful.

    After Chao Yong sat down, he smiled and said: "General Lu misappropriated the treasury money like this, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the censor?"

    Lu Junyi said: "I didn't spend a penny from the treasury. All the ministries paid for it. The dancing girls are all beauties in their ministries. I hope the prince will fall in love with them."

    Chao Yong shook his head helplessly. The Yinxia area was the home of the Weiming clan, but he did not dare to bring two dangerous items with him.

    ?Chao Yong saw that Yan Qing was arranging for a military general with knotted hair to sit in the front row, and couldn't help but ask: "Who is that?"

    Although the people who returned to Xixia also changed their Han attire, their bald heads had just been shaved.  A man with long hair appears among a group of bald heads, which is naturally very eye-catching.

    Lu Junyi took a look and said, "He is the younger brother of Zhe Kecun, the current head of the Zhe family. I heard that the prince was going to the Yinxia area to return to the court, so he came to see him."

    The generals of the Zhe family are one of the few separatist forces between the Song Dynasty, Xixia, and Liao. Although they are nominally military generals of the Song Dynasty, they are hereditary to the three states of Lin, Fu, and Feng. It can be said that the soldiers and horses of the three states are completely the private armies of the Zhe family.  .  However, the three prefectures of Lin, Fu, and Feng are in the east of Hedong, and General Zhejia is not included in the Western Army. Otherwise, General Zhong cannot be said to be the first general of the Western Army.  (To be continued)
