The Shaoxing plane of the Song Dynasty.
Huining Mansion, inside the palace.
Yue Fei and others sat upright, flipping through [History of the Song Dynasty], but their eyes kept looking around.
Han Shizhong, who was illiterate, leaned next to the right prime minister Wen Tianxiang and listened to his dictation of [History of the Song Dynasty].
The Prime Minister of the Left, Lu Xiufu, was telling the story of Xue Li's life. He was afraid that His Majesty would be laughed at by other emperors because he didn't know much about the affairs of the past dynasties, so he said:
"In the first year of Longshuo, Porun, the leader of the Uighurs, died. Bisu, who succeeded him, turned against the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, ordered General Zheng Rentai, the general of the Youtun Guard, to be the main general."
"Xue Li was the deputy general and led his troops to the Tianshan Mountains to attack the Nine-surnamed Tie Le. The Nine-surname Tie Le resisted with more than 100,000 soldiers and ordered dozens of brave knights to challenge him."
"Xue Li came to the battle and fired three arrows, killing three people. The other knights were so frightened by Xue Li's power that they all dismounted and asked to surrender."
"Xue Li took advantage of the situation and sent his troops to cover up the attack. He defeated the nine surnamed Tie Le and trapped and killed the surrendered soldiers. He then crossed Qibei, pursued Tie Le's defeated army and captured the three brothers Ye Hu."
"This is the origin of Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain."
The Young Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing, listened with great interest and said:
"I never thought that Xue Li could be so brave. He is truly a famous general."
"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, but all returned with great defeats. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also returned with great defeats. So how did Xue Li destroy Goguryeo?"
The Prime Minister of the Left, Lu Xiufu, frowned and wanted to remind His Majesty not to trust those emperors. However, because Yue Fei and others were also there, he had to give up and said:
"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally conquered Goguryeo. He did not return with a great defeat, but with a great victory. However, it was snowing heavily in winter and food and grass were not available, so he had to retreat, but the victory was not completed."
"In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Zhang Liang and Li Cheng to attack Goguryeo in two groups. The following year, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally conquered Goguryeo."
"In March, General Liu Junqiong was besieged by the Goguryeo army. In times of crisis, Xue Li stepped forward single-handedly."
"He took the head of a Goguryeo general and hung his head on a horse. The Goguryeo army was frightened and withdrew. After this battle, Xue Li became famous in the army."
…
Liu Guangshi saw that His Majesty and the Prime Minister of the Left, Lu Xiufu, were having a pleasant conversation. He leaned next to Yue Fei and whispered:
"Pengju, a good minister, the Supreme Emperor "accidentally contracted a cold and passed away." If this news spreads, His Majesty's reputation will be damaged."
"As ministers, we want to share His Majesty's worries, why not come up with a proper solution?"
Han Shizhong listened carefully to what was going to happen in the future, fearing any omissions, so he casually said:
"This matter is His Majesty's family matter. Why don't you go talk to Emperor Taizong? Want to take back the Emperor's body?"
Liu Guangshi shrugged and went to find Emperor Taizong? Want to take back the Emperor's body?
How can it be!
Don't forget, His Majesty just said last night that Emperor Taizong is currently on the Northern Expedition, vowing to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Let’s look at what the Supreme Emperor Zhao Huan did after he ascended the throne, as well as the disaster of Jingkang. Whoever dared to go, he didn’t dare to go anyway.
Yue Fei gently put down [History of the Song Dynasty] and sighed:
"The death of the treacherous minister Qin Hui is not a pity! Unexpectedly, General Zhang turned to the treacherous minister Qin Hui!"
"It's just a little bit short. Ten years of strength will be wasted in one day."
At this moment, Yue Fei was very fortunate that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou abdicated the throne to His Majesty, otherwise, everything would have been as recorded in the history books.
All the counties gained will be laid to rest!
It is difficult to revive the country!
Liu Guangshi remembered that the head that was spread throughout the army today was that of the traitor Zhang Jun, and asked:
"Pengju, how did your Majesty deal with the traitor Zhang Jun's family? All nine clans were put to death?"
Since he left the palace last night, he has been staying in the army. He doesn't know how your Majesty dealt with Zhang Jun's family.
When Han Shizhong heard this, he pointed at himself and said:
"Pingshu, if we were to kill the nine tribes, my head would be missing last night. How could you meet me here today?"
"Your Majesty was merciful. He only killed Zhang Jun and did not implicate the nine tribes."
Yue Fei remembered something, looked at the old general Liu Guangshi who died of illness in the 12th year of Shaoxing, and reminded:
"Old General Liu, I will go see the imperial doctor later. If the historical records are correct, I will be in Shaoxing for twelve years..."
It is now the tenth year of Shaoxing, and there are only two years left before the twelve years of Shaoxing.
Liu Guangshi naturally knew about this, but his life's ambition was over and he had taken a dim view of life and death. He joked:
"It's just a small matter, no rush."
"Good minister, after my master returns to the court, I am going to resign and go into seclusion. I will ride on a donkey, carry some wine, and take one or two servants with me to visit the West Lake to my heart's content."
"If I steal your [Linjiang Immortal] and [Nanxiangzi] again, from now on, I will call myself Qingliang Jushi!"
…
The Young Emperor of Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing, was listening to Xue Li's life achievements and looking through the chat group mall.
Suddenly, Han Shizhong shouted angrily:
"Liu Guangshi, I am at odds with you!!!"
I saw two old generals, Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi, fighting in the hall for some unknown reason.
When Yue Fei tried to start a fight, he was punched by the old general Han Shizhong. The right prime minister Wen Tianxiang and the left prime minister Lu Xiufu also quickly stepped forward to start a fight.
Upon seeing this, the Young Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing, walked over quickly and stopped the farce.
Liu Guangshi covered his livid eyes with one hand, hid behind the left prime minister Lu Xiufu, and said:
"Good minister, could it be that the decades of friendship between you and me are not as good as a few poems?"
Han Shizhong glared at Liu Guangshi, who was five steps away, and cursed:
"What a good Liu Guangshi! I was born into a poor family and only started to learn to read after retiring to seclusion. It took a lot of effort to write those few poems. How dare you take it for yourself?"
"Song Rui, let go of me quickly. Even if His Majesty is in front of you, I will beat you to death for this shameless villain!"
When Zhao Bing, the Young Emperor of the Song Dynasty, learned about the cause and effect, he was helpless and dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, these two old generals, who have known each other for decades, would get into fists and kicks over trivial matters. If word got out, people would definitely laugh at them.
He walked between the two of them and said with a wry smile:
"Old General Han, Old General Liu, why are you doing this?"
"I am determined to order Prime Minister Zuo to compile the [Record of Zhongxing's War Merits], and all the officers and soldiers of the army, as well as those who have made meritorious service in the Jin Dynasty, will be included in it."
"Marshal Yue, in this Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty won a complete victory. Thanks to your plan to connect Heshuo, it will definitely be included in the [Zhongxing Battle Record]."
"Old General Han, the Jin army was defeated miserably in the battle of Dayi Town. However, the historical data of this battle are lacking and the records are incomplete..."
…
When Han Shizhong heard this, how could he care about those poems? After saluting and kowtowing, he dragged the Prime Minister of the Left, Lu Xiufu, out, and said eagerly:
"Prime Minister Zuo, hurry up and follow me. Don't just read the records in the history books. I will tell you the battle of Dayi Town in full."
"In the fourth year of Shaoxing, after I led my troops to Yangzhou..."
On the other side, Liu Guangshi also hurriedly followed up, carefully recalling his military exploits over the years, for fear of making any omissions.
Yue Fei walked at the back with a wry smile, covering his shoulder that was still a little painful after being punched by the old general Han Shizhong.
Unexpectedly, old general Han Shizhong is really strong and strong, and he is really strong when he gets angry.
