Zhao Yueru said: "With all due respect to my daughter's bluntness, most of these officials are actually just chasing after the wind and shadows, following the crowd and following the public, but they are all short-sighted and self-righteous people. In the eyes of far-sighted people like Yu Xianggong and Han Shumi, there will be no mistakes. ”

Zhao Tuan smiled bitterly: "That being said, I can't be too arbitrary. If Yang Yan can meet with the rebel army for a few battles, even if it is a small gain, at least I will have an explanation in front of those officials. ”

Zhao Yueru couldn't help but smile and said, "Is it better to only win a few small battles now, or to finally put down the rebellion?"

Zhao Tuan also smiled, and then said, "In this way, do you also think that Yang Yan should be appointed?"

Zhao Yueru said with a straight face: "With the sage and wisdom of the official family, Yang Yan was selected at the beginning, and it was naturally made after some careful consideration, how can he give up halfway because some officials who do not know the facts are opposed, and the official family should prove to them that the official family is correct." ”

Zhao Tuan thought for a while, finally nodded, and said, "Okay, I know what to do, but Liuniang, I want you to do one more thing for me." ”

Zhao Yueru was slightly stunned, to a little strange, and said, "What does the official family want her daughter to do?"

Zhao Tuan said lightly: "You go to the East Palace, tell Concubine Li, let her come here tomorrow to confess her mistakes to me, the saint, and the prince, and promise never to do it again in the future, if she doesn't come tomorrow, then go back to his Li family, never enter the palace again, Taishang will explain to me." ”

When Zhao Yueru heard this, she was also startled, knowing that Zhao Tuan's patience with Concubine Li had reached the limit, so she would say such cruel words. But to let yourself spread this word inevitably makes me a little too embarrassed.

Zhao Tuan continued: "I also know that it is indeed a bit difficult to let you pass the word. But you are my daughter, and you are also a woman, and Concubine Li is also my sister-in-law, so I can't think of anyone other than you to pass on this word. ”

In fact, Zhao Tuan also knew that it was not easy to abolish Concubine Li, but now Concubine Li was really making too much trouble, forcing Zhao Tuan to release such words. However, Zhao Tuan didn't want to get this step in the end, so he hoped that someone who could shock Concubine Li would spread the word and make Concubine Li restrain herself. And herself, it is inconvenient for Queen Xie to come forward, and it is too light to send a eunuch to pass the word, and the most suitable person in the palace is probably only Zhao Yueru.

And Zhao Tuan is not just targeting Concubine Li, there is also a point here to warn Li Dao. Because Zhao Tuan knew that now all the contradictions in Guangnan were aimed at Yang Yan in the imperial court, and most of them were Li Dao making trouble behind his back, probably because he and Yang Yan failed to compete for the Guangxi control envoy at the beginning, and he had been unwilling, so he still wanted to replace Yang Yan and go to quell the Guangnan Rebellion and establish an army. However, now that Zhao Tuan has decided to continue to trust Yang Yan, it is necessary to beat Li Dao at this time and let him restrain himself. At the same time, he also told other officials about his attitude.

Therefore, Zhao Yueru had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "My daughter respects her life." ”

******************************

After entering May, the weather in Jingjiang Mansion became hotter and hotter day by day, and the Song army and the Manichaean army were holding each other in Renxiu, Liuzhou, Fuchuan and other places at this time, and the Song army refused to fight, and the Manichaean army could not be attacked.

Yang Yan still trains unremittingly every day, and the intensity of training has not weakened in the slightest. However, the soldiers of the Guangxi army gradually adapted to such strict training, although the weather was hot, although most of these soldiers were locals, and they were tired and sweating profusely every day, none of them dared to be lazy anymore, and all of them were training seriously. First, because the soldiers knew that Yang Yan was strict in governing the army and was not polite to things that violated military discipline, and secondly, they saw that the military salary was paid every month, and the soldiers also felt that it was not bad to follow him, and the most important thing was that every soldier held his breath, won a few more games in each assessment, and earned a lot of money, maybe he could get a chance to be promoted.

After more than three months of this and the elimination of nearly 1,000 soldiers who could not stand the arduous training, the quality and ability of the Guangxi army have been greatly improved.

Of course, for a period of time, Yang Yan has never relaxed the training requirements for the forbidden army of the infantry army division and the horse army division, the quality of the forbidden army is relatively high, after this period of training, and the use of various formations has become more and more proficient, and the ability of the cavalry, the cavalry and the infantry army, and the mutual cooperation and coordination between the various infantry troops has also been greatly improved.

Seeing that this third assessment cycle has arrived, the soldiers of the Guangxi Army began to work with each other according to the grouping, because the training level of the soldiers has improved at this time, so the results of this assessment are relatively average, and there are not many outstanding people, almost everyone has received some rewards, and they have also received a few military sticks. There are only two people who can win ten games in a row, Lei Tonggang of the Chinese Army, and Qi Dazhu of the White Army, but with the results of the first two times, only Qi Dazhu alone in the entire Guangxi Army has won thirty games in a row, becoming the first soldier in the whole army to be upgraded to a high-grade Chengxinlang.

The Tabai Army is mainly composed of the exiled people from Yongzhou, the disciples of the Gu clan, and the people in the Qijia Village are all organized in the Tabai Army, and Ling Xiang and Huang Mingxia are the ones who are in charge. Other disciples of the Huang family, such as Huang Ye, Huang Qi, Huang Zhengping, Huang Taisong and others, also served in the army. Because most of the disciples of the Gu clan know some martial arts, and they have a bitter hatred with Manichaeism, they are all looking forward to returning to Yongzhou to avenge their relatives and friends, and they are very hard at the training, and they have no complaints at all, so after more than three months of training, they have become the best quality army in the Guangxi army.

And this Qi Dazhu is already strong and strong, with good strength, he is from Orion, he has been fighting with wild beasts all the year round, and he has a lot of actual combat experience, although he has not learned formal martial arts, but he punches his master to death, and this wild way is sometimes very effective. In addition, he is bent on avenging the fathers and villagers in the village, so he trains very hard. And Ling Xiang saw that he was willing to work hard, and also instructed him in some martial arts routines, although Qi Dazhu was not yet a martial arts master, but he quickly stood out from ordinary soldiers.

Because he was also his own acquaintance, Yang Yan was naturally very happy to see Qi Dazhu ascending. On the same day, he also personally went to the White Army to visit Qi Dazhu. encouraged Qi Dazhu a few words on the spot.

Qi Dazhu said: "Lord Yang, when are we going to fight Manichaeism, I want to avenge the dead villagers." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, there will be that day, you have to work hard to practice martial arts now, and only when you attack Manichaeism in the future will you save your ability to take revenge on them." ”

Ling Xiang patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Da Zhu, don't worry, there will be a day when we will take revenge." ”

Qi Dazhu was about to say something more, and suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran to Yang Yan to meet him and said, "Yang Shuai, there is an urgent military situation sent." ”

Cao Xun, Gao Zhen, Liu Fuwu, Chen Dong, Zhou Fangyi, Gao Zhanjun, Liu Tianbiao, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Jingjiang Prefecture, Cai Wenhu, the commander of the Yizhou soldiers and horses, Ma Biao, the commander of the Zhaozhou regiment, Guo Shixiong, the envoy of the Hezhou regiment, Yu Chengchan, the envoy of the Liuzhou regiment, Xue Song, the envoy of the Rongzhou regiment, and other generals gathered in Yang Yan's camp of the Chinese army. ”

When the generals heard this, they were all secretly surprised, and they didn't expect that the Manichaean army would come to such a hand. Liding County is less than fifty miles away from Jingjiang Mansion, so it can be said that it is easy to reach it with a leg, but once Liding County is lost, isn't Jingjiang Mansion dangerous?

Yang Yan looked at the generals, knowing their hearts, and said: "But you don't have to be careful, Renxiu County is still in our hands, so I think it is impossible for the Manichaean army to send a large army to attack the theorem, and there is not much grain and grass with the army, as long as we cut off their supply of grain and grass, within ten days, they will definitely withdraw their troops." I think it won't be long before the second letter from Renxiu County arrives in Jingjiang Mansion, telling us about the strength of the Manichaean army's sneak attack this time. ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for another soldier to run into the camp of the Chinese army and said, "Report to Yang Shuai, and there is an official letter from Renxiu County." ”

Yang Yan nodded and took the official document, opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was clearly written that there were about five or six thousand Manichaean people, and the main ones would be Chen Ziming and Zhong Zhenxian.

It turned out that Chen Ziming and Zhong Zhenxian led the army to confront the Song army under Renxiu County, Zhong Zhenxian has been holding his breath and wants to fight with the Song army, and set up a big one, but fortunately, his father will show his ability, especially after Zhong Ziang becomes the king, if Zhong Zhenxian is the son, he will have the capital to serve the public. However, because the Song army refused to fight and defended very tightly, nearly two months had passed, and there was still no inch. Seeing that it was mid to late May, the climate was hot, and seeing that the Mani Temple in Guizhou was gradually completed, Zhong Ziang's proclamation ceremony was imminent, and he faintly had the idea of striking the army.

So Chen Ziming and Zhong Zhenxian discussed such a thing again, let Chen Tong lead the army to continue to add the Song army in Renxiu, and the two of them risked taking 5,000 elite soldiers, bypassing Renxiu County, and going straight to the theorem, they didn't want to take Jingjiang Mansion in one fell swoop, but hoped to take the Song army by surprise and fight one or two victories, even if it was a small victory, at least when Zhong Ziang was crowned king, he could also offer a piece of labor.

When the generals saw the second official document sent by Renxiu County, they were all relieved, and then Yang Yan said: "Liu Tianbiao listens to the order. ”

Liu Tianbiao said: "The last general." ”

Yang Yan said: "You immediately lead the Guangxi Army to garrison Lili County and block the route of the Manichaean army to Jingjiang Mansion, there must be no mistake, but you are only allowed to defend the county seat, and you are not allowed to engage the Manichaean army." ”

Liu Tianbiao said: "The last general will respect the order." ”

Yang Yan said again: "Chen Dong listens to the order. ”

Chen Dong came out and said: "The last will be." ”

Yang Yan said: "You lead the people of your headquarters to garrison Yangshuo, and take Yongning County and Moxie Pass, you are only allowed to garrison, and you are not allowed to engage the Manichaean army, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Chen Dong said: "The last general will respect the order." ”

Yang Yan said again: "Liu Fuwu listens to orders. ”

Liu Fu struck out and said: "The last general." ”

Yang Yan said: "You lead the vanguard army to move in the rear of the Manichaean army, as soon as you find their grain transport team, you will immediately attack, after defeating the grain transport army, immediately burn the grain and grass, not a grain of grain is allowed to be sent to the Manichaean army, but you are not allowed to engage the Manichaean army without authorization, otherwise you will be asked." ”

Liu Fuwu said: "The last general will respect the order." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "The other armies are stationed around Jingjiang Mansion and carefully defend Jingjiang Mansion. If the Manichaean army withdraws, it is not allowed to pursue it, and no one is allowed to engage the Manichaean army without the order of the commander, and if there is an order, it will be dealt with according to the army. ”

The generals said in unison: "The last general respects the general's order." ”

Yang Yan nodded, and was about to announce the dissolution of the account, when Zhou Fangyi came out and said: "Yang Shuai, the last general thinks that the Manichaeans dare to go deep alone with 5,000 men and horses this time, and they will underestimate our Song army too much, even if they themselves rush to die, why don't we take this opportunity to beat him hard, so that they can know that we are powerful." ”

Chen Dong also said: "Yes, Yang Shuai, this time the Manichaean people and horses are only five or six thousand, and they are rash and rash, and the lone army is deep, and our men and horses in Jingjiang Mansion plus the Guangxi army are no less than 70,000, which is more than ten times that of the enemy. ”

Yang Yan shook his head and said, "Everyone, now is not the time to send troops, even if this battle is won, what can it do, it is just to eliminate five or six thousand Manichaean troops, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation." What we have to do now is to wait for the opportunity to defeat the Manichaean army in one fell swoop and completely turn the tide in Quang Nam. And I don't think it will be long before the time comes. ”
