Su Liuyi was the first to jump out and object. He thought that the Leizhou city wall was tall and the general had already attacked twice without success. Can he attack it this time?
impossible.
Secondly, you should not go to Annan, let alone go there. Annan is a small barbarian vassal state in the Song Dynasty. The heat is unbearable. Why should our heavenly country go to such a barren land?
There were two other civil servants who were full and started to make noises along with Su Liuyi.
Zhao Bingyan patiently explained that the army needed to go ashore to rest. These people actually said that the Song army was extremely powerful. Since it had defeated Zhang Hongfan, it could go to big cities like Guangzhou and Fuzhou. Leizhou could not go without food and soldiers.
Zhang Shijie commanded the attack on Leizhou from the front and failed. Naturally, he didn't want Zhao Bingyan to easily attack and gain military merit. Wouldn't it appear that he was too incompetent?
Therefore, Su Liuyi's idea played into Zhang Shijie's heart. He said with a smile: "Since all the princes have proposed to go east to regain the lost territory, then I will wait..."
Before he finished speaking, a sergeant outside the meeting hall shouted urgently: "Military report, urgent military report, the Guards have won a great victory in Leizhou."
Everyone was shocked on the spot.
Sun Huchen's messenger hurried in to deliver the letter, shouting: "Vice General Sun has been ordered to outwit Leizhou City. There is sufficient food and grass in the city. Please invite Zhao and the general to station in Leizhou Mansion."
This soldier originally came to report to Zhao Bingyan according to Sun Huchen's order. Now that Zhang Shijie suddenly returned to his post, he was just a little bit about calling out Zhao Bingyan's name, so he quickly changed it back.
Zhang Shijie took the report written by Sun Huchen to Zhao Bingyan and saw that the Guards disguised themselves as Yuan troops and easily captured the city and were already heading towards Xuwen. There is food that the Yuan army has just arrived in Leizhou City, which is enough for the army to consume for a while, so rejoice.
So, he immediately ordered to station in Leizhou Mansion for a rest.
Everyone's arguments were meaningless and they dispersed.
Zhao Bingyan returned to Zhang Qi's rear guard command ship. This boy fought for him. He felt that he was too wronged. He had won such a big battle. Not only was he not rewarded, but he also had to send out the expanded team.
Too frustrating.
He smiled and said that life is a long journey, and there will be many difficulties and grievances he will encounter in the future. What does this mean? After all, we are already the legitimate Guards of the Song Dynasty, and that is enough.
Zhao Bingyan went out, got on a boat and came to the wounded ship fleet to visit the wounded.
This is the third time he has met with wounded soldiers.
Don't underestimate these wounded soldiers. Once they return from injury, they will be experienced combatants and even good commanders.
Zhao Bingyan came to the cabin of the commander Fang Rixing. Fang Rixing's eye injury had improved a lot. He said with emotion: "All the generals went to the general to warm up, why did Commander Zhao come to see me, a useless person?" "
Zhao Bingyan said: "In my eyes, Coach Fang has always been the big brother." He personally refilled Fang Rixing's tea and told him to take good care of himself and recuperate before leaving.
Early the next morning, the people of the small imperial court arrived in Leizhou. Flags were fluttering on Leizhou City, and the Golden Dragon Flag of the Song Dynasty was fluttering in the wind.
As expected, Sun Huchen used the flags and uniforms of the Yuan army, and with the cooperation of the Imperial City Division, he cooperated internally and externally, and successfully recovered Leizhou City.
All the soldiers and civilians came ashore to rest happily and moved into the courtyard rooms that had been prepared in the city.
Zhang Shijie was in a good mood and immediately sent troops north to attack Suixi County.
Sun Huchen reported to Zhang Shijie: "Commander Zhao made a fortune. Yu Yinglong, the governor of Leizhou Army, didn't know about Zhang Hongfan's defeat at all. He thought it was the navy of the Yuan Army that had arrived, and even brought officials from the government to the dock to line up to greet them. The general escorted them directly. Entering the city, he took control of the city's barracks, arsenal, and government office without a single blow."
Zhang Shijie was greatly surprised when he learned that the Guards troops had captured Leizhou without bloodshed and seized a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass, and immediately wanted to discuss how to use troops north.
Once the ministers were liberated, they were also gearing up and wanted to recruit troops on a large scale to recapture Guangdong and Guangxi in one fell swoop and march into Jiangbei.
When Zhang Shijie saw that Zhao Bingyan was silent, he laughed and said: "Commander Zhao is a great contributor to the victory of Leizhou. Now we have enough food and grass, how can we use our troops?"
Zhao Bingyan knew that even though he was the commander of an army, he was still inconspicuous, and the situation in front of him would definitely not stop them from using troops in a large scale, so he simply said that it was all up to the general to make the decision.
He believed that Yu Yinglong, the chief of Leizhou, and Zhou Fu, the head coach of the Yuan Army's Jiuzhou River Defense Line, were good friends. He could ask Prime Minister Right to persuade Zhou Fu to surrender. We could seize the Jiuzhou River Defense Line and stabilize Leizhou without using weapons.
Zhang Shijie looked at Wen Tianxiang, who was nodding and drinking tea, and said, "Great Kindness, Prime Minister You and Zhou Fu are sworn friends. How about asking the Prime Minister to come over?"
Wen Tianxiang looked at Zhao Bingyan and said, "I want Commander Zhao to accompany me. I won't refuse, little friend." Wen Tianxiang called Zhao Bingyan "little friend", which directly raised his status eight times.
Zhao Bingyan immediately bowed and saluted and said: "The last general respects your order."
All the princes laughed.
At this time, the Queen Mother Yang Shufei, who was sitting at the top, spoke.
She smiled faintly and said that in the battle on Yashan, she escaped from death. All the beloved ministers have made contributions and should be rewarded according to their merits. Commander Zhao of the Guards has made great contributions. The Aijia should be rewarded with military virtue doctors and hussar generals...
Zhao Bingyan's scalp went numb when he heard the Queen Mother's series of awards and honors, and the hall became quiet.
He hurriedly bowed and saluted, and declined again and again. The reason was that the court was still in crisis, the Tatars were not exterminated, and he did not dare to receive a title or reward for his trivial achievements.
The Queen Mother's face turned slightly red, and she waved her hands to stop talking. Just saving the Ai family and Prime Minister You was a great achievement, and the court could not ignore it or be ruthless. All ministers and workers will be rewarded, and they will be awarded together after the right prime minister and the general decide.
Zhao Bingyan was stunned for a moment and thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness.
Haha, this matter got serious. Concubine Yang Shu's face turned red and she rewarded Zhao Bingyan alone. Su Liuyi thought that she was attracted to Zhao Bingyan, and the flames of jealousy were burning in his chest.
In this naval battle at Yashan, he deserved merit for not retreating, and merit for escorting the troops to break through. Although the credit was not as great as that of Zhao Bingyan, their group of veterans followed the Queen Mother all the way, and the friendship cannot be measured by merit.
If you want to reward them, you should at least reward them together.
The ministers and ministers discussed in low voices and dispersed.
The next day, Zhao Bingyan accompanied Wen Tianxiang and set off for Suixi.
Along the way, Wen Tianxiang was very curious to inquire about the origin of his outfit.
Zhao Bingyan blames Zhuge Liang all the time, always using the excuse that Mr. Zhuge gave him a gift and the secret must not be leaked. Instead, he carefully analyzed the current situation between the enemy and ourselves for Wen Tianxiang, and believed that the imperial court should avoid its sharp edges, rest and prepare for war, and mobilize civilian armies from various places to resist the enemy.
Wen Tianxiang nodded and pondered all the way, and entered Laohu Village to spend the night.
Zhao Bingyan saw Wen Tianxiang's tired face and knew that he had been seriously injured in the Yuan army's prison and had not yet fully recovered, so he advised him to rest early. I turned around and fell on the bed to fall asleep, but my mind was summoning the pollen elves.
The elves immediately responded.
He asked the elf, there seems to be a cannon in the space?
The elf told him that he had one, a Soviet-made 152 cannon with 200 rounds.
Haha, that's enough.
This is a weapon made by the Soviet Union during the Second World War. Its armor-piercing ability is more than 100 millimeters. A mere city gate covered with iron sheets and sandwiched with wood is simply scum.
This time, he wanted to do something big and blast open the city gate with cannons, scaring the Yuan army to death.
In the next room, Yu Yinglong was talking to Wen Tianxiang.
He said: "The guilty minister feels guilty for living in the same house as the Prime Minister."
Yu Yinglong is a descendant of the heroes who fought against the Jin Dynasty in the previous dynasty. His ancestors had great achievements in serving the country with loyalty, but when it was his turn, he actually surrendered to the Yuan army and became a traitor.
Wen Tianxiang said coldly: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Governor Yu has no choice but to do it for the sake of the people. Who can make the imperial court so weak? Now that the imperial court is in crisis, it is indeed a blessing for all the people that the emperor tolerates everything."
Yu Yinglong said cautiously: "It is said that Zhang Hongfan's and Li Heng's troops of the Yuan army were completely destroyed at the hands of General Hussar, but it is true."
Wen Tianxiang said with admiration: "That's still false. Governor Yu will definitely not believe that Commander Zhao's martial arts skills are unrivaled in the world, and Mr. Zhuge's true inheritance will definitely help us restore the power of the Song Dynasty."
Yu Yinglong said why he felt that Commander Zhao spoke only in street talk and did not look like a scholar at all?
Wen Tianxiang sighed and said: "Is it good to read poetry and books? There was no shortage of well-educated people in the Song Dynasty. How many people who were well-educated and rich turned to join the Tatars. Alas."
The atmosphere was so awkward that the room quickly became quiet.
