The cultivator was shocked by the aggressive momentum of Zhao Guan's family, and he murmured:

"Wei Chen is aware of his guilt! What the officials said is absolutely true."

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said: "Qing Zhong Ai, do you know where I went before I came to your military camp?"

Master Zhong shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"I'm going to your brother Zhong Shidao's military camp."

Master Zhong was puzzled, he didn't understand why Zhao Guanjia said this.

Even before that, he had wondered why Zhao Guan's family didn't call his brother Zhong Shidao when they summoned various Song army commanders and important generals to discuss matters in front of his military camp.

However, it was Zhao Guan's family who issued an order to convene the generals for discussion. None of his teachers dared to ask or say anything about who would come or who would not come.

Zhao Ji said leisurely: "Just now, I arrived at the Zhongshidao military camp and ordered him to lead his elite troops to prepare for an immediate expedition by boat to attack Xingqing Mansion!"

When a middle-ranking general in Zhongshi heard the holy words, his expressions changed.

Zhao Jidao: "Take a boat down the Yellow River and attack Xingqing Mansion in the Xia capital. I am not discussing with you, but asking you to execute it!"

"If not, wouldn't I have allowed Mr. Zhong, the first batch of people to attack Xingqing Mansion, and his army to go deep alone?"

Zhao Ji's tough statement made Liu Yanqing, Yao Gu and other veterans of the Northwest Army among the hesitant Zhongshi immediately dare not raise objections.

Especially after Zhongshizhong heard the holy words, he considered the overall situation and his brother's, and immediately supported the Zhao Guan family's proposal.

"The Weichen Division is willing to go out for the country and lead the elite troops to attack Xingqing Mansion!"

"The humble minister is also willing to go out to fight for the country and attack Xingqing Mansion..."

Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Yang Xin and other young and middle-aged generals immediately expressed their support for Zhao Guan's family in raising troops to attack Xingqing Mansion, the enemy's capital.

"We are willing to fight for our country..." Guo Cheng, Yao Gu, Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi and other generals said loudly.

"Okay!" Zhao Ji said to the generals seriously in order to give them confidence:

"I want to tell you all, my dear friends, that our soldiers and generals in the Song Dynasty have always been very capable of fighting!"

"At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, under the wise command of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, our soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought bravely and skillfully, ending the great division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!"

"From Emperor Taizu to me, everyone has governed the world with benevolence and righteousness! No matter they treat the king who mourned the country or the heroes of the Song Dynasty, they are all kind! My dear friends, please don't worry, 'When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the cunning rabbits die, the lackeys will cook them.

'!"

All the generals present nodded in agreement, feeling the mighty grace of the Holy Spirit...

Many of them, in the Song Dynasty's long-term environment of emphasizing civility and suppressing martial arts, had studied both literature and martial arts since childhood (except Niu Gao), and they naturally knew the history of the founding of the Song Dynasty.

They knew that on the first day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Zhou Xiande's (later) Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty (Zhao Kuangyin), who was the supreme leader of the imperial army at that time, inspected all the people in front of the palace. He led his army to fight against the rumored invasion of northern Xinjiang.

The allied forces of the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Han Dynasty marched to Chenqiaoyi in the northern suburbs of Kaifeng. On the second day of the day ('the sun sets one day after another, the black light will linger for a long time'). The next day, Zhao Kuangyin was "dressed in yellow robes" by his subordinates and surrounded him.

Established as emperor...

The young (later) Zhou Gong Emperor Chai Zongxun had to abdicate...

Regardless of whether the history of Emperor Taizu bullying orphans and widowed mothers is glorious or not;

However, the successive emperors of the Song Dynasty treated the (later) Zhou Chai family with really preferential treatment!

It can be said that few dynasties treat the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty that were destroyed by it so favorably.

Today, all the generals present include Zhong Shizhong, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other generals. They were born to recognize the orthodox status of the Song Dynasty. Song Taizu "wore a yellow robe" in Chenqiaoyi. It was his destiny and it was natural!

All the generals have this consensus in their hearts: even Emperor Taizong, who is "brother and brother", is also the true dragon emperor to whom destiny belongs.

Except for the defeat at Gaolianghe when he fought against the Khitans, Emperor Taizong was actually quite wise and powerful...

Zhao Ji looked at the generals and said generously: "At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, in November of the second year of Qiande, the wise and powerful Emperor Taizu ordered general Wang Quanbin to send troops to attack Hou Shu."

"In January of the second year of Qiande, General Wang Quanbin led his army to invade Shu. Soon the troops came to the city. Later Shu Emperor Meng Chang led his troops to surrender!"

"In the fourth year of Qiande, our Song generals suppressed all the rebels in Shu! This made the Southern Han, Southern Tang, and Wu and Yue countries fearful!"

The generals heard the holy words and were deeply proud...

"In the fourth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu ordered Pan Mei, the defense envoy of Tanzhou, to lead an army to attack the Southern Han Dynasty."

"At that time, Liu Yuan, the empress of the Southern Han Dynasty, doted on the Persian woman 'Doctor Xiao Xian' - 'Mei Zhu', and had sex with her in the harem and ignored the government for several years."

"Liu Yuan was absurd. He believed that all ministers had families and would take care of their children and grandchildren and were unwilling to be loyal. Therefore, he only trusted eunuchs and his ministers had to leave the palace before they could be employed. As a result, there were actually two officials at all levels in the Southern Han Dynasty. Tens of thousands of people are all eunuchs!"

"Liu Yuan's political affairs are all controlled by the eunuchs and the witch Fan Huzi, and the political affairs are in chaos!"

"Pan Mei, the general of the Song Dynasty, led his troops to the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Yuan, the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty, saw that the situation was over, so he set fire to the palace and treasury, selected more than a dozen ships, loaded with gold, silver, treasures and concubines, and prepared He fled into the sea, but the eunuchs and generals of the Southern Han Dynasty stole the ships and fled long ago. Liu Yuan had no ships to take, so he was forced to surrender!"

The generals expressed their deep admiration for the Zhao Guan family for being so knowledgeable and capable of remembering.

"When I read history, I also knew that after the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty was surrounded by the Song Dynasty on three sides."

"In order to protect himself, Li Yu, the later leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, surrendered openly and secretly prepared for war. While sending envoys to ask for a grant from the Song Dynasty, he deployed his troops at key points in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to prevent our Song army from attacking."

"Because Li Yu refused to go to court, in September of the seventh year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu sent hundreds of thousands of troops in three directions to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"On the east road, the King of Wuyue served as the envoy to the southeast of Huzhou. He led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Hangzhou to the north to respond, and sent General Ding Deyu of the Song Dynasty to supervise his army."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "On the middle route, General Cao Bin and Superintendent Pan Mei led a navy and army of one hundred thousand from Jiangling and marched eastward along the Yangtze River."

"The West Route Army inspected Yuchi and Yuejiang Roads, and Wang Ming was deployed at Zhanchaodu. He led his troops to contain the Southern Tang Army in Hukou and ensure the main force's eastward advance."

"In October of the same year, our army of the Song Dynasty successfully crossed the Yangtze River. In three battles at Caishi, Qinhuai River, and Wankou, we defeated the elite troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty!"

"In March of the eighth year of Kaibao, the Song army attacked Jinling City. In June, the Wuyue army captured Runzhou, the gateway to the east of Jinling. Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was surrounded...In November, Cao Bin led the army and began to attack from three sides. After more than ten days of attacking the city, the city of Jinling was defeated, and Li Yu came out to surrender. The Southern Tang Dynasty was overthrown, and the country was in its thirty-eighth year."

"Back then, our army of hundreds of thousands of people from the Song Dynasty besieged Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it took more than half a year to break the city. Now, our army has artillery and other firearms that I have developed and put into use, and with the bravery of all of you, I am sure that It only takes a few days to attack the Xingqing Mansion of Xia Kingdom and destroy its city!"

When all the generals heard the holy words, their hearts were filled with excitement and excitement...

Zhao Ji added: "If you, your dear friends, lead your troops to attack Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia, if Emperor Li Qianshun of Xia can do the same thing as Meng Chang, the leader of Shu, Liu Yu, the leader of Southern Han Dynasty, and Li Yu, the leader of Southern Tang Dynasty, If you surrender, all your beloved ministers should treat Li Qianshun preferentially!"

All the generals nodded one after another, praising Zhao Guan's broad-mindedness, generosity and righteousness...

"However, I predict that Li Qianshun is quite ambitious. Even if the city is destroyed, he may not be able to surrender. So all the beloved ministers should not show mercy to Li Qianshun who is stubbornly resisting."

The generals pondered, each secretly analyzing the deep meaning of Zhao Guanjia's words...

Zhao Ji sighed: "Recalling those days, after the founding of the Song Dynasty, our army and horses were strong, and we were able to swallow up mountains and rivers like a tiger!"

"We, the Song Dynasty, successively destroyed Hou Shu, the Southern Han Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and ordered the leader of the Wuyue Kingdom to surrender to our Great Song Dynasty! The Wuyue Kingdom also sent troops to assist our Great Song Dynasty in destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty!"

"At that time, Qian Chu, the third generation leader of the Wuyue Kingdom, was a talented man who understood current affairs!"

"Qian Chu, the leader of the Wuyue Kingdom, assessed the situation and followed the instructions of his ancestor Qian Liu, King Wusu - 'Considering the safety of the people in the world'."

"In order to protect the people in the Wuyue Kingdom from the devastation of war, Qian Chu, the leader of the Wuyue Kingdom, valued the people over the soil. He resolutely entered Kaifeng, the capital of Song Dynasty, in May of the third year of Taiping and Xingguo. Following the ancestral precepts, he accepted the land and returned it to the Song Dynasty. The 13 states, 1 army, 86 counties, 556,800 households, and 115,16 soldiers under my command were all dedicated to my ancestor, Emperor Taizong, which created a great story!"

"I also abide by the ancestral precepts and treat the Qian clan members as favorably as I treat the Chai clan to this day!"

"I dare to assert that the good deeds of the Qian family of Wuyue Kingdom will bless the Qian family and prosper for thousands of years, with talents emerging in large numbers!"

What Zhao Ji said was true, and he thought to himself: "Before I time traveled, Qian Xuesen, Qian Sanqiang, and Qian Weichang, the outstanding figures who were well-known in modern society, were all descendants of Wu Yue King Qian Liu. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Wu Yue Qian The family has produced a total of 350 Jinshi, which can be said to be a thousand-year-old family!'

Zhao Ji said loudly: "When I look at the current Emperor Li Qianshun of Xia, his vision is far less than one ten thousandth of the vision of Qian Chu, the leader of Wuyue Kingdom!"

"Therefore, I don't want to fight stubbornly. Li Qianshun is still alive! Do you know that you all love me?"

The righteous Yue Fei's strong body trembled. He was about to open his mouth to persuade Zhao Guan's family, but the roar of the generals made his head buzz, forcing him to close his mouth again.

"I will obey the Holy Instructions..."

"The general will obey the holy precepts..." All the generals suddenly realized and said loudly.

They understood the far-reaching intentions of Zhao Guanjia:

That is, Li Qianshun's prestige in the Xia Kingdom is quite high. If the Song army gathered superior forces to attack Xingqing Mansion this time, and when the troops approached the city, Xia Emperor Li Qianshun could obediently leave the city and surrender, so that the Song officers and soldiers who attacked the city would suffer less casualties, then, The Zhao Guan family can follow the example of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong in treating the conquered king preferentially.

If Xia Emperor Li Qianshun did not understand current affairs and organized soldiers to defend Xingqing Fucheng and resist vigorously, causing considerable casualties to the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers who were attacking the city, then when the capital of the Xixia Kingdom was defeated, even if Li Qianshun wanted to surrender, then he would not be able to surrender. Find a way to kill him.

Li Qianshun must not be allowed to survive, lest he become the next Gou Jian who suffers from hardship...

Zhao Ji enunciates words like pearls:

"Every time I read the history of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong's battles to pacify the countries of the Five Dynasties, my heart surges and I yearn for it every time!"

When the generals heard the holy words, they nodded their heads one after another. Their hearts were filled with excitement and yearning for it.

Zhao Ji spoke faster and said loudly:

"After the founding of the Song Dynasty, I can not only destroy the southern countries, but also the Northern Han Dynasty, which is protected by the Liao Kingdom, unify the north and the south, and end the divisions and wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!"

The generals nodded in agreement.

Most of them know that the Liao Kingdom of the Northern Han Dynasty was attached to the Khitan people. It was the last of the Ten Kingdoms in the Five Dynasties. Its capital was Jinyang and its territory was the twelve northern states.

In the fourth year of the Taiping and Rejuvenation of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi led his army to personally conquer the Northern Han Dynasty. The Song army first defeated the Liao army that supported the Northern Han Dynasty, and then stormed Jinyang City. The Northern Han Emperor Liu Jiyuan was forced to surrender, and the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed. Four emperors, a total of two Eighteen years.

Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty moved Jinyang, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, to Bingzhou and renamed it "Taiyuan Prefecture", also known as Taiyuan County Hedong Army Jiedu.

Zhao Ji changed the subject and asked loudly: "I love you all, do you know what I mean by what I am saying?"

The generals were asked such a sudden question by Zhao Guanjia, and no one dared to answer hastily.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and estimated that he spent about four or five minutes talking about the history of the Song Dynasty's unification of the north and the south. He believed that what he said was not nonsense, but to let the generals establish their ambitions and improve their spiritual level. , sincerely loyal to the emperor and served the country, and bravely went to the battlefield.
