Yang Yan said: "Chen Dong, Zhang Shiyan listens to the order. ”

The two of them came out of the queue and said in unison: "The last will be." ”

Yang Yan said: "Chen Dong led the left army of the Ma Army, and Zhang Shiyan led the middle army of the Ma Army, before the tenth day of the first day of July, sneaked into the ambush outside the Pingdan Post City, once he saw the fire in the Pingdan Post City, he immediately attacked the Pingdan Post from the left and right, and he must attack the Pingdan Post without mistakes. ”

Chen Dong and Zhang Shiyan hurriedly said: "The last general will respect the order." ”

Yang Yan said again: "Liu Tianbiao led the Guangxi Army, and Huang Mingxia led the Guangxi Army to step on the White Army as a response, once Chen Dong and Zhang Shiyan broke the Pingdan Station, you will immediately lead the army into the city separately, attack the county government as soon as possible, kill the defenders in the city, and occupy the Pingdan Station." ”

Huang Mingxia and Liu Tianbiao said in unison: "The last general will respect the order."

Yang Yan said: "Wang Guan, Cao Zhengshan listens to the order." ”

Wang Guan and Cao Zhengshan hurriedly came out of the queue and said in unison: "The end will be there." ”

Yang Yan said: "If this marshal is not bad, once Pingdanyi is attacked by our army, Wuhua and Longping will definitely send military horses to rescue Pingdanyi, so Wang Guanyou send troops from Fuchuan, Cao Zhengshan from Liuzhou, and wait for Wuhua and Longping's military horses to leave, Wang Guan will take Longping, and Cao Zhengshan will take Wuhua." In addition, Cai Wenhu led the left army of the Guangxi Army to fight with Wang Guan, and Ma Biao led the right army of the Guangxi Army to fight with Cao Zhengshan. There must be no mistakes. ”

The four of them said in unison: "The last general will be honored." ”

Yang Yanzhang said: "Zhang Qi, Yin Shibiao listens to the order." ”

Zhang Qi and Yin Shibiao also came out and said in unison: "The end will be." ”

Yang Yan said: "Zhang Qi led the infantry army to ambush between Longping and Pingdanyi, intercepted Longping's reinforcements halfway, and did not stay after killing the enemy, and immediately went to take Lishan, Yin Shibiao led the left army of the infantry army to ambush between Wuhua and Pingdanyi, intercepted and killed the reinforcements of Wuhua, and immediately went to take Xiangzhou after killing the enemy, I understand no." ”

Zhang Qi and Yin Shibiao said in unison: "The last general will respect the order." ”

Yang Yan said: "Liu Fuwu, you take the Ma Army Division to select the front army, and after the attack on Pingdanyi, immediately go south, patrol the Xunjiang area, and intercept it immediately as soon as there are reinforcements from Pingnan and Xunzhou." But remember not to engage the Manichaean army in close quarters, but to take advantage of the advantage of the cavalry and attack them constantly, or take advantage of their crossing of the Xun River. ”

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

Yang Yan said: "Wu Xi, Guo Shixiong, Yu Jackie Chan, you will lead the men and horses of your headquarters, and after all the armies have captured all the cities, you will immediately take advantage of the victory to march to Xunzhou, Pingnan, and Wuxian." Gao Zhanjun led the infantry army division and the Chinese army stayed in Jingjiang Mansion, and there must be no mistakes. ”

The four of them came out of the queue and said in unison: "The last general will be honored." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Generals, go down and prepare." On the 10th day of July, everyone will send troops together, and everyone must work hard to fight, and must not be greedy for life and fear death, and delay military aircraft. After winning, Ben Shuai will naturally be rewarded for meritorious deeds. However, after the capture of the city, it is not allowed to plunder the people, let alone kill innocents indiscriminately, and anyone who is good at moving the people, or delays the military aircraft, and disrespects the order, I should deal with it according to military law, and I will not spare it. ”

July 9, Guizhou City.

In the afternoon, Zhao Cao walked into the gate of Guizhou City, but was taken aback. I have only been away from Guizhou for more than two months, but I didn't expect that the city of Guizhou would change dramatically. From the gate of Guizhou City, a thoroughfare runs through the north and south of Guizhou, so that it has been cleaned cleanly, and with two isolation belts composed of various flowers, a large avenue is separated in the middle of the street, and people are constantly sprinkling water back and forth to clean it. And the five steps and one post, and the ten steps and one sentry are guarded by the soldiers, and people are forbidden to walk. Even Zhao Cao was politely blocked by the soldiers and could only walk on both sides of the street.

Not only that, but the trees on both sides of the street are also hung with colorful satin cloth, which flutters like a flood with the breeze. And the walls, doors and windows of the house have been repainted to make it look like new. There are bright red lanterns hanging under the eaves, and you can imagine that at night the lights are bright, colorful and dazzling. Guizhou was originally not a too prosperous place in the Great Song Dynasty, and such a lively scene could not even be compared to the New Year.

Zhao Cao frowned slightly, of course he knew that tomorrow was the day of Zhong Ziang's coronation ceremony, so he specially rushed back from Xunzhou to participate. Of course, it is a big deal to be crowned, and it should be made more lively, but such an approach is inevitably too extravagant, and it can be regarded as extravagant.

At this time, I saw Lai Wenzheng coming over and arching his hand: "King Ming, you are back." Please, everyone is waiting for you? The brothers in the sect have almost arrived, and you are left alone. ”

Zhao Cao was stunned for a moment and said, "Have all the brothers in the sect returned to Guizhou?"

Lai Wenzheng said: "Except for the right envoy, who has not shown up, the other Dharma kings, the five scattered people, the banner masters of the Five Elements Banner, and the masters of the four gates of heaven and earth have all returned to Guizhou. You'll be all there when you arrive. ”

Zhao Cao frowned slightly, and said, "All the people are back, so what should I do on the border, if the Song army sends troops to attack at this time, will it only rely on ordinary sect members, altar masters, and incense masters?" ”

Lai Wenzheng smiled and said, "King Ming, please rest assured, hasn't the Song army always dared to come out to fight these days?" What's more, it is such a hot weather now, and it is not the time to send troops, so it is impossible for the Song army to send troops. And tomorrow the coronation ceremony of the sect leader will be over, and everyone can go back to their respective positions, and it should be fine. ”

Zhao Cao listened, although he felt that Lai Wenzheng had some truth, but he still felt a little unsteady in his heart. In fact, Lai Wenzheng didn't think it was very appropriate in his heart, but now that everyone has arrived in Guizhou, the facts are unchangeable, and they can't be allowed to go back. Fortunately, there were not a few days to do here, and as soon as the enthronement ceremony was over, he immediately persuaded Zhong Ziang to send all the personnel back.

The two walked side by side until they reached the middle of the street, and a temple-like building of no small scale appeared in front of them. Two tall vermilion lacquer gates, closely lined with bright copper nails. The top of the gatehouse is covered with golden glazed tiles, carved railings and painted buildings, odd several cornices, magnificent. The gatehouse is flanked by miles of white walls, which look like a small city.

Zhao Cao looked at the newly built temple, and finally couldn't help but say, "The scale of this temple is too big." How much manpower and material resources will be wasted. Now we occupy less than one Guangxi, so we began to exhaust luxury, my brothers on that side have not paid any money for two months, and there are many old equipment that have not been updated, and they sent people back to urge them several times, and the household department said that there was no money, and asked us to wait for a while, but they spent the money in this kind of place. He shook his head again and again.

Lai Wenzheng sighed softly, he also knew these things, but now was not the time to talk about this, and said: "What's the use of talking about this now, the temple has been repaired with scriptures, do you want to tear it down again?" Let's go in first. So saying, he led the way.

Zhao Cao was stunned for a while, and finally followed Lai Wenzheng into the temple. He suddenly felt that the whole of Manichaeism seemed to have changed a lot.

At this time, the other leaders of Manichaeism were all outside the main hall of the temple at this time, chatting with each other, and when they saw Zhao Cao coming, they all greeted him one after another. But Zhong Ziang was the only one who couldn't see him.

Zhao Cao asked, "Everyone, what about the sect master?" ”

Chen Ziming said: "The sect leader is now discussing the arrangements for the enthronement ceremony with Director Jiang and the others, and he will come out soon." King Ming will wait here for a while. ”

Zhao Cao was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter, why do you want to discuss it with them?" Instead of discussing it with all of us. ”

Chen Ziming smiled and said, "King Ming, don't you know? We are all big and coarse people who don't know a few words, and we can discuss what kind of Mingtang. Director Jiang and several of them are scholars, and they are still good at things like the enthronement ceremony. ”

This clock stone said: "The sect leader has come out." ”

I saw Zhong Ziang wearing a purple robe and walking out of the main hall surrounded by Lin Yongxiang, Sun Ji, Jiang Yiju, Huang Wenbing and others.

Tomorrow is the day of Zhong Ziang's coronation ceremony, and tomorrow, he Zhong Ziang is not just the head of a Jianghu sect or the leader of a religion, but the king of one side, and the Song, Jin, Dali, Tubo, and Western Xia countries are on a par with each other, and the overlord of the side is on an equal footing. And it seems that the day of unifying the world, establishing a foundation, and becoming a generation of founding emperors is not far away. Therefore, Zhong Ziang has been in a good mood these days, just like the robe he wears, red and purple.

However, in the past month, in order to prepare for the coronation ceremony of the king, Zhong Ziang has also been very busy, and at this time it finally shows the value of Lin Yongxiang, Sun Ji, Jiang Yiju, Huang Wenbing, and other officials of the original Great Song Dynasty, and each of them is a good hand at doing this kind of thing.

In particular, Jiang Yiju, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, although he was only a magistrate in the Great Song Dynasty, and he was the lowest official among these people, but this person was born as a third Jinshi in the second list, and his achievements in the imperial examination were far above others, and he was full of poetry and books, proficient in the etiquette of various dynasties and generations, and was as large as the number of honor guards in the army, the arrangement, the flags, the clothing, and even the placement of every accessory, and even the placement of a table and a chair. And for each of them, he can cite the scriptures and find a lot of allusions to prove that this is indispensable (the whole book)
