On June 15th, the temple ceremony was held as scheduled, but the sky was not beautiful, and the sky was gloomy and dark like the bottom of the pot in the morning. But this does not affect the execution of the memorial, Zhao Yu can not describe this grand and majestic scene in words, can only borrow the pen of his predecessors to express:

So he drove the luan, climbed the jade fly, rode thousands of times, the clouds moved and the scenery was attached, and he wanted to travel in his life. It is often colorful and colorful, the bells and drums are booming, and the pipes are chirping. The strange skills of miscellaneous fish and dragons are meandering and spreading around the Dao. The gods are all and welcome, out of the long and the dragon boat. Hundreds of workers are prepared for the official and set up a dream, and the husband cheers and performs......

It is the front tree, in order to cultivate the rituals, the mighty god is there, and the hope is terrifying. The gold and jade are used for backup, and the flying dive is recommended for taste. The curtain is in charge of the rest, the storage of a few canes and pens, and the cover of a thing, so the filial piety is thought of and dedicated. Guarding the courtiers' shrines, recklessly decorating. Things are spinning, boring and boring. The Confucianism of the immortals, the grace of the gods, and the praise of the gods are only on their side. Ruofu Zhurong, Chongli, Xiangtu, and Yan Bo, Gu has been overjoyed, and the feelings are colorful, and the protection of Qingzu and Xi Shengde is also ......

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officials, in the music, the emperor entered the hall to pay tribute to Zhao Mengjin, Wang Yinglin and Ni Liang, and the officials outside the hall suddenly heard the howling and crying of the little emperor in the hall. He really cried this time, whether it was in front of the Queen Mother or in front of close ministers in the past, Zhao Yu never shed tears, even in the face of strong enemies and the reproaches of the ministers, he showed incomparable strength.

Zhao Yu also knew that he had to be strong in others, and the only people he could vent to seemed to be his vain ancestors, and the last time he cried seemed to be during the Battle of the Sacrifice Tomb when he recovered Jiangnan. Think about how you inexplicably traveled to the unlucky era, you can be said to have survived in death, how many hardships and hardships you have experienced, and how many grievances you have endured, and finally come to the place where your ancestors were founded. And this is only the beginning of a long journey, not the end, and he has to endure many twists and turns and hardships, and he feels that the days he spent on the ship in his previous life are simply heaven......

The ministers who accompanied the sacrifice outside the hall listened to the cry of the little emperor in the hall and felt that it could be said that it was moving, thinking that His Majesty was in the land at the age of six, and ascended the throne when the country was destroyed. Finally able to recover Jiangnan, the line of the dynasty moved back to Lin'an, many of the people present have experienced the difficulty, they heard His Majesty's cry, but also sighed in their hearts, all bowed their heads and wept, but also hoped that His Majesty could move the emperor, bless the revival of the Great Song Dynasty.

Heaven seemed to have heard their prayers, and as if they had felt something, they did as they wished, and the wind and clouds suddenly changed in the cry, thunder fell, and a torrential rain fell. What is surprising is that when the little emperor's crying stopped and the sacrificial text was incinerated, it seemed that the first emperors learned of His Majesty's hard work, and the wind stopped and the rain stopped in an instant, and the clouds opened and the sun rose.

At the end of the ceremony, Zhao Yu immediately issued an edict to celebrate the recovery of Ying Tianfu issued an amnesty decree, pardoning the prisoners used before moving Qiong to the south of the Yangtze River, except for the heinous crimes, and exempting all officers and soldiers and their relatives who participated in the Northern Expedition from punishment other than unforgivable crimes. At the same time, a commendation order was issued to reward the meritorious officials and generals in the Northern Expedition, and to add officials to knighthood. Then he feasted the officials and rewarded the three armies......

The event was over, and when the officials resigned to the emperor the next morning, they learned that His Majesty had quietly left Yingtianfu last night. Many people were at a loss, wondering why His Majesty did not say goodbye. And some of the officials already knew that because of the tension of the Jingxiang war, His Majesty was going to the Xiangyang battlefield, but this matter was a secret and could not be said explicitly, so they could only bow to the west and wish His Majesty a smooth journey and victory.

At this time, the driving team had already left Ying Tianfu thirty miles away for a rest, and the reason why Zhao Yu said goodbye without saying goodbye was that he had never liked the fanfare of his ministers to engage in things that were close to being sent; Second, the weather is hot now, so you can take advantage of the cool period of night and morning to travel.

"Your Majesty, let's have breakfast!" Wang De led two small yellow doors to the front of the royal car with food boxes, put a few dishes and dry food on the low table, and greeted the little emperor who was moving his legs and feet outside the car.

"Is it all open?" Zhao Hao twisted his face and asked Ni Liangdao, who was accompanying him.

"Your Majesty, it has been arranged. Breakfast is simple, and the fire armies are already ready on the cooking truck, so there is no need to wait for the camp to light a fire and cook! Ni Liang replied.

"Oh, you've made the right arrangements, let's dine with me!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"This is still Zhao Zhishuai's thoughtful thinking, and the chariots of the first army and the three divisions are allocated to us for use, and those chariots are much better than the vehicles we requisitioned. Not only can we save physical strength on the march, but we also don't have to camp when camping, which saves us a lot of time. Ni Liang didn't take credit and said with a smile.

"Well, it also has a heart!" Zhao Yu said. Looking around, the soldiers had already received their own meals, sat around the roadside and began to eat.

"Your Majesty, let's eat, we'll be on our way in two quarters of an hour!" Ni Liang reminded.

"Well, our expedition is in time for summer, and it is easy to get tired during the day march, and because the road is congested due to the convoy march, we can consider increasing the time of the night march." Zhao Hao sat down, the dishes on the table were very simple, only a plate of pickles, a plate of salted meat, plus a small bowl of sauce, and the main food was also a bowl of mung bean gruel and panhu cakes. He took a big sip of the porridge first, and pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I haven't thought about it, but it's too dangerous to march in a long convoy at night. First, we are unfamiliar with the roads, and it is easy to get lost when marching at night; Second, it is dark at night, it is difficult to find ambushes, and once they are ambushed, it will be dangerous; Third, the vehicle will inevitably be damaged during long-distance marching, and it will be inconvenient to deal with it at night and delay the trip. Ni Liang replied without thinking, obviously he had already thought about these things.

"Ni Dadutong, I think you are an official, but your brain is getting more and more confused, do you rely on taking things for granted? If the road is not familiar, you can send scouts to explore the road first, set up road signs on forks and dangerous sections, send sappers to repair, and even set up adjustment posts to direct the convoy to pass; If you are worried that the enemy will set up ambushes, you can also send scouts to reconnoiter in advance, and set up observation posts along the way to give early warning when the enemy situation is discovered; For fear that the chariot will be damaged on the way, it can also arrange for the craftsmen of each baggage battalion to use the rest time to overhaul the chariot and eliminate hidden dangers in time. Zhao Yu frowned and criticized when he heard this.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, it is the negligence of his subordinates, he just followed the advice of his staff and did not think about it!" Ni Liang has this benefit, he never shirks his mistakes, he thinks for a moment and then admits his mistakes.

"In this Northern Expedition, you fought well in commanding the army, but remember not to be arrogant, and not to follow the advice of your staff in everything. They think about things with safety in mind, especially when it comes to it, lest there be the slightest mistake. And as the commander of the first army, you must not only think about safety, but must have your own opinions! Zhao Yu took a Hu biscuit, handed it to Ni Liang first, and said.

"Well, my subordinates have been taught!" Ni nodded brightly, didn't say more, took the Hu Cake and put some meat on it and ate it in a big gulp.

Zhao Yu didn't say much when he saw this, he knew that Ni Liang's temperament didn't care, he was a master who couldn't say it in his heart, as long as he pointed things out, he would do it with his heart, and he would do it better, and he didn't have to worry about it at all......

Ni Liang accepted Zhao Yu's suggestion, and on the same day, he convened relevant personnel for discussion, re-planned the marching rules, formulated discipline, and changed the marching time to avoid the hottest period. They marched day and night, marching after sunset every day, and camping at midnight the next morning. With a chariot, you only need to choose a spacious place near the water to form a chariot formation, and you only need to go on the road in the order of formation.

In this way, the daily camp was relieved, and the speed of the march was greatly accelerated, and with the assistance of the state capital and garrison along the way, there was no enemy situation. Ten days later, the drive has passed Yuncheng and Xinyang. At this point, the trip has passed halfway, and after Tongbai Mountain, it has entered the Jingxiang area, but there are three routes ahead, and we are faced with a choice.

Considering that he was about to enter the war zone and had been marching for many days, Zhao Yu ordered a day of rest and recuperation, and at the same time ordered the baggage to procure the needs, overhaul the vehicles, replenish the horses, and replace the sick horses on the way. So the army was temporarily stationed in Luoshan, and Xingyuan was stationed in a forest, where the big trees are towering and the cool breeze is blowing, but it is a good place to rest in summer.

"Your Majesty, further forward is the 'Yiyang Three Passes', which constitute a triangle, just separating the Tongbai Mountains and Dabie Mountain, Tongbai Mountain in the west, Dabie in the east, and there are three narrow passages in the middle, which happen to be blocked by these three passes. After these three passes, you will enter Jingxiang, and there is no other way to pass, so it is up to Your Majesty to decide where to clear the customs......" In a clearing in the forest, Zhao Yu summoned everyone to discuss here and choose the route of the march below. Zhuang Gong pointed to the hanging map.

Pingjing Pass is located at the intersection of Tongbai and Dabie Mountain, and is the west pass of the three passes. Choke the throat of Hubei and Henan, for the ancient and modern Central Plains main road, there are Huai and Han soldiers to fight for the key points, the shape of the victory to control Huainan, the key to the jurisdiction of Chu Wei. "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period: There is a Beginning" and "Huainanzi Falling Continent" listed it as one of the nine major fortresses in the country, and it has always been a place for soldiers to use, and the ancient name is "the yoke". In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu State borrowed troops to attack Chu, and the three armies passed through this, and the horses could not advance, so it was changed to 'blocking the horse wall'; during the Three Kingdoms, Shu general Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, and Chen soldiers were here, so they hated to pass the pass and take the Central Plains directly, so they changed their name to 'hate this pass'; the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty set up Pingjing County in the south of Guannan, that is, it was renamed Pingjing Pass. ”

"This pass guards the ancient and modern north and south contention, I face the back, because of the pedestrian groups of people, endless, also called the walker pass, the walker slope, etc., Yue Wumu, Li Tingzhi has also been stationed here. This pass stands between the mountains, Tiancheng Canyon, the two ends are narrow and narrow, the middle is wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
