Zhao Bingyan glared and told him to find a way by himself, and he must practice better.
Two days later, Zhao Bingyan and Wen Tianxiang returned to Leizhou. Zhang Shijie had organized the Northern Expedition to advance to Guangnan West Road and seize Jingjiang Mansion.
Zhang Shijie and Empress Dowager Yang Shufei agreed that he and Wen Tianxiang would form a large tent of the Northern Expeditionary Army and be responsible for the northern expedition.
The Queen Mother and Lu Xiufu stayed at the small court in Leizhou to stabilize the rear.
Zhao Bingyan did not support the Northern Expedition and requested to stay in Leizhou to train the new army.
Zhang Shijie immediately agreed to transfer all the troops that Zhao Bingyan had formed to his Northern Expeditionary Army, and also asked him for the Zhuge Divine Cannon that appeared in Suixi.
Zhao Bingyan felt seriously unhappy.
He said that Prime Minister You had seen with his own eyes that Mr. Zhuge had taken away the cannon. Where would the general go to get it for the general?
Lu Xiufu's body has recovered, and he mediates that all the Guards have followed the general to the north. That's enough, and he can let Commander Zhao train in Leizhou with peace of mind.
Zhao Bingyan felt very uncomfortable.
This guy is gone, and he doesn't even have a shovel.
These people are really good at playing tricks, turning a hussar general into a polished commander in a matter of minutes. snort.
He returned to his residence and unexpectedly saw Zhang Qi with a group of personal guards inside.
He asked Zhang Qi, why didn't he follow the large army to the north?
Zhang Qi told him that the team had left and they stayed to protect the commander.
Zhao Bingyan smiled and said jokingly: "This general still needs protection? Is he escaping from the war? Does the general really agree?"
Zhang Qi and a group of brothers immediately said, "Yes, the general agrees. We are not greedy for life and fear of death. The commander knows this."
He looked at the guards on the left and right and said with emotion: "I have been fighting since I woke up on the Yashan warship. I didn't expect that the people who followed me in the end would be eighteen brothers including myself."
"Eighteen is still eighteen, we can defeat the Tatars and regain the Song Dynasty. Let's go to the dock and have a drink."
Zhao Bingyan took a group of guards from Yashan out to have a good drink, and he didn't get up until the sun was high.
Zhang Qi was already waiting for him to bathe and change clothes as if he were on Yashan.
Zhao Bingyan dressed neatly and came out to meet with his brothers and said: "We recruit soldiers, and we recruit soldiers from poor families. We can count as many as we can. We have been stationed in Naozhou in the southeast of Leizhou. It is surrounded by water and is relatively safe, so we will go there to train troops." "
Everyone responded in unison: "No."
When it got dark, the brothers came back listlessly and told him: There are very few people willing to serve as soldiers, and even beggars are not willing to join our Guards.
Zhang Qi said boringly: "The army has all left. The people of Leizhou don't know the merits of the commander, and they still laugh at us for being cowards and hiding in the rear to enjoy our lives."
He told everyone not to be discouraged. He would continue recruiting tomorrow and tell the new recruits: Our Guards are a poor man's army, dedicated to conquering the world for the poor. We officers and soldiers are the same. Officers have food to eat, and soldiers will never go hungry.
The next day, Zhao Bingyan went to the wounded barracks to visit the soldiers who were still recovering from their injuries and asked them if they were willing to go to Naozhou to recuperate. He promised to take good care of everyone.
Fang Rixing, who had been the head coach, was the first to agree to follow him and helped him publicize, saying that Zhao Bingyan was the most brotherly and would not leave a single soldier behind.
After some communication, the wounded soldiers were willing to follow him.
Zhao Bingyan felt warm in his heart.
When I went back, I saw the Imperial Guard standing at the gate.
He was a little strange, who is coming?
Seeing Wang Jien, the manager of the Imperial City Department, at the door, he walked over and bowed his hands and asked, "What's the urgent matter? Do you want Manager Wang to come to the house in person?"
Wang Jien said arrogantly: "The Queen Mother is here, hurry up and pick her up."
Zhao Bingyan hurried to the living room and saw Lu Xiufu and the Queen Mother Yang Shufei having tea and talking.
He immediately stood up and bowed to salute.
Concubine Yang Shu said calmly: "The emperor can't wait any longer and has already ascended to heaven. The Ai family plans to send the emperor to Naozhou for burial. Can Commander Zhao accompany the Ai family?"
What's the word?
He immediately bowed politely and reported: "This is the Queen Mother's order. I will concentrate on my errands."
Lu Xiufu said: "The general is also for the imperial court's plan to restore the country. Commander Zhao should not care about it. I have one more thing to ask for. Can you ask Mr. Zhuge to send more food?"
The Queen Mother told him that Zhang Shijie had taken away all the food in Leizhou. Now Leizhou is seriously short of food and will be out of food in the next few days.
Zhao Bingyan felt that Zhang Shijie was messing around.
Leizhou faces the sea on three sides and has no external support. Where can we get food?
He thought of the tactics used by the ancestors of Mao in later generations to attack local tyrants and divide their fields to raise grain, so he said that Mr. Zhuge could not be contacted at the moment. We could borrow grain from the wealthy families in Leizhou.
These people had taken refuge with the Tatars when the Yuan army arrived and were already sinners, so they happened to ask them for food.
Lu Xiufu was displeased and told him that the large and small landowners in Leizhou had already paid tribute to atone for their sins, and the court could not do this.
Zhao Bingyan told them that it was these big landowners who occupied the land and monopolized food that made the country more and more difficult and the people destitute. How can we complete the great cause of recovery without attacking the landlords and hoping that Zhuge will show up?
Lu Xiufu was very dissatisfied and asked him: "Commander, are you unwilling to help?"
Immortal Banban, what’s the point of this?
On the side, Wang Jien, the general manager of the Imperial City Department, collected a lot of Zhao Bingyan's weird daily life, and believed that the weapons and food were obtained by Zhao Bingyan himself. He asked him sternly: "Commander Zhao is disobeying orders. Are you going to rebel?"
Madam, if you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?
This is to force the gods to kneel down and obey the orders of mortals.
Wang Jien's fellow was an insatiable eunuch. He asked people to carry bags of gold and silver for him while he was fleeing. It is said that he even secretly raised a beautiful little wife.
Zhao Bingyan didn't like him, twisted his neck and said coldly: "I will never refuse anything I can do, but I will not be Mr. Zhuge."
Although Lu Xiufu was a pedantic scholar, he did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he naturally did not believe that Mr. Zhuge gave Zhao Bingyan the magical objects. Therefore, when he came up, he forced Zhao Bingyan to do things and regarded Zhao Bingyan as his subordinate god.
Concubine Yang Shu is a woman, and she is certain that there is a god. She believes in it, so even if she said, "Don't embarrass Commander Zhao, the Ai family believes in him."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was protecting Zhao Bingyan, Lu Xiufu immediately softened his tone and said, "Isn't this urgent? Since the imperial court has recovered Leizhou, I, the prime minister, should plan for the people of Li."
Zhao Bingyan felt seriously unhappy and said coldly: "That is the Prime Minister's own business."
He immediately stood up and saluted Concubine Yang Shu: "When will the Queen Mother set off? The general will ask the wounded soldiers and newly recruited soldiers to bravely go to Naozhou to keep vigil for the emperor."
Lu Xiufu was angry. He was trying to chase people away.
The Queen Mother was moved when she heard this. She covered her face and sobbed and said, "Commander Zhao is determined, just in these few days."
Lu Xiufu didn't accept Zhao Bingyan's toughness and was stunned on the spot. Wang Jien also glared at him in surprise.
Concubine Yang Shu didn't care about this. She had already finished her business and stood up to ask the driver to return to the palace.
Lu Xiufu thought that Zhao Bingyan had refuted his face, so he went home and drank to vent his anger.
His wife was waiting carefully beside him.
When the Yashan Water Village was breached by the Yuan army, he cruelly pushed the whole family into the sea and carried the emperor on his back to commit suicide.
Later, the people miraculously rescued his wife and daughter. The mother and daughter survived, and they were very grateful to Zhao Bingyan for his life-saving grace.
After listening to his nagging, the lady understood something, and said tactfully: "I don't think Commander Zhao is a person who refuses to save someone. My Lord knows that if Commander Zhao hadn't fought so hard, our family would have been separated long ago." La."
Lu Xiufu's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly woke up.
Yes, if Zhao Bingyan hadn't led the army to defeat the Yuan army, he, like the little emperor, would have gone to the underworld to kowtow to the late emperor and report.
The next day, Lu Xiufu was still thinking about the grain problem, and the general manager of the grain depot went to him happily to report: "Commander Zhao cast a spell, and Mr. Zhuge appeared and sent a huge amount of instant noodles."
Lu Xiufu saw the bag of instant noodles in the steward's hand but didn't know what it was.
However, the director of the grain depot happily tore open the package and used boiling water on the stove to make the noodles. The alluring aroma immediately filled his office.
After tasting it, Lu Xiufu exclaimed: "It's delicious and a great kindness."
Yesterday, after Zhao Bingyan sent away his guests, he immediately checked the super-dimensional space. The Pollen Elf told him that he didn't have much self-heating plates left and that he could use gold to buy instant noodles.
Zhao Bingyan's heart aches, but it's gold that shines brightly.
He had no choice but to call for purchasing.
