Chao Yong has been busy making up the Liang dictionary recently, in fact, it is to add a later pinyin to all the words, and the meaning of the words is directly copied from Sima Guang's "Class Chapter". It has only been more than 50 years since the compilation of this character book, and it contains more than 30,000 words, which can basically be said to be all the characters.

In fact, Chinese characters have long had a phonetic method, and the beginning is the straight phonetic method, that is, the use of homophones to phonetic, such as "root" and "with". However, the drawbacks of this phonetic method are also obvious. Therefore, later there was a reverse cut, which used two words to phonetize one character. For example, "winter, all zongche", that is, the initials of the capital, the finals and tones of the zong are used for the winter note.

The reverse cut can be said to be very similar to the pinyin of later generations, but there are some words that are easy to make mistakes with the reverse cut.

The job that Chao Yong has to do is to use pinyin instead of reverse cut to phonetize all Chinese characters, and then let people all over the world pronounce a single sound. This work is almost complete, and the rest of the work is to arrange the words in the order of pinyin. This is a lot of work, and Chao Yong needs a lot of assistants to complete it.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in through the window, causing the books on the desk to "boom".

The eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly pressed the book.

Chao Yong walked to the window, only to find that the sky was already full of dark clouds, and he saw that a heavy rain was coming.

A flash of lightning struck, followed by a deafening thunderclap, and a torrential rain poured down.

Lu Junyi and others are probably also drenched in the rain, yesterday they crossed the Yellow River, the planned Chenqiaoyi rested for a while, and after the emperor personally rewarded the three armies, the prince led the support to the northwest.

Even if they are not far from Tokyo now, they must not be able to escape the rain.

Hopefully, this rain will come and go soon.

Otherwise, if the army is delayed, the situation in the northwest will deteriorate by a point. Lu Junyi's army marched south from Xiongzhou and walked for ten days, marching a hundred miles each, which could not be described as unpleasant. However, in the past ten years, the northwest has been frequently reported on the war.

The Western Xia army went out of Xi'an Prefecture and Huaide Army, and Xi'an Prefecture was sentenced to lead people to open the city gate and dedicate the city to Western Xia. Huaide army knew the military Liu Quan, and Du Yishi led the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend to the death, resisting the Western Xia soldiers and horses for more than ten days, and the city was broken and killed.

After breaking Erzhou, Li Qianshun, the lord of Western Xia, led 200,000 troops from Xi'an Prefecture to the south to attack the Deshun army, and King Chage of the Jin Dynasty led 200,000 troops from the Huaide army to the south to attack the Zhenrong army.

The two routes of soldiers and horses are familiar routes of Western Xia soldiers and horses, when Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Western Xia, defeated the Song soldiers in Dingchuan Village of the Zhenrong Army and Haoshuichuan of the Deshun Army, but was forced to retreat after the Song Dynasty reinforcements were coming.

Li Qianshun's choice of these two routes was obviously to surpass the merits of his ancestors.

The old breed also knew that he could not defend Weizhou alone, so he had already sent Xi and Weidu to control Liu Zhongwu to lead 20,000 troops to guard the Zhenrong army, and the younger brother division led 20,000 troops to guard the Deshun army.

The Zhenrong army was in the north of Weizhou, and the Deshun army was in the west of Weizhou. If the Western Xia soldiers and horses wanted to attack Weizhou, they had to lay down one of them first. However, once the city of Weizhou is broken, the Western Xia army can enter the Guanzhong Plain without any danger.

Fortunately, the Deshun army is located in the Liupan Mountain Pass, and the Zhenrong army is built along the Hulu River, and there are many fortresses to protect it. When the Western Xia soldiers and horses hit the two cities, the western armies of the various departments had also returned, and the old breed sent Jingyuan Road soldiers and horses to reinforce the Huaide army, and Xihe Road soldiers and horses to reinforce the Zhenrong army.

The Zhenrong army and the Deshun army each had 30,000 people to defend, and the division and Liu Zhongwu were both famous generals of the Western Army, and it was difficult for the Western Xia soldiers and horses to capture for a while.

However, the soldiers and horses of Huanqing Road and Yanyan Road were worried that there were still soldiers and horses in Western Xia going south, and they had returned to their respective stations, and the Zhejia army was also worried that Fuzhou would be invaded by Western Xia and Liao, so they directly crossed the Yellow River from the Yongxing army and returned to Hedong.

The only soldiers and horses available to the old breed are Lu Zhishen, Li Congji, Li Ying, Sun Li, and Yang Zhi, who are reinforced by Daliang, and 50,000 people.

Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, attacked the Deshun army at the same time, and also divided his troops to capture Huizhou and Gongzhou, and the Qiang people who returned to Shun in the Hehuang region also took the opportunity to make a rebellion, seizing the city or attaching to Tibet, or attaching to the Western Xia, and the Deshun army was still desperately holding on to the west of the city except Xizhou, and the rest of the cities had all fallen.

From Kaifeng to Weizhou more than 1,700 miles, even if it is said to travel 100 miles, it will take more than half a month, if there is such a rainy day during the period to delay, I hope that the Zhenrong army and the Deshun army can hold on to it until then, otherwise the people who will suffer will be much more.

The rain didn't stop for a while, and that night, Tanma reported that Lu Junyi and others had arrived at Chenqiaoyi.

The next day, Chao Gai led hundreds of civil and military officials to Chenqiaoyi and personally rewarded the three armies. Each sergeant had a pound of wine and meat, and the officials below had already prepared it and transported it to Chenqiaoyi.

Lu Junyi and others knew that the emperor had personally come to reward the three armies, so they led the lieutenant generals to ten miles away early.

The barracks where the group arrived, the battalion sergeants and soldiers were also waiting for the holy car on the school grounds.

As soon as the emperor entered the camp, the officers and men of the three armies shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live." ”

It wasn't until Chao Gai walked to the point general platform that the shouting of the soldiers of the three armies stopped.

Chao Gai said: "I opened the country, but in April, there are nearly 100 military states, thanks to the work of the soldiers. You trekked through mountains and rivers, overcame dangers, conquered Hebei for me, and expanded the territory. It also repelled the invading Liao army, raised the prestige of our Central Plains, and made me a good joy. Each person is given five pounds of money, one pound of wine, and one pound of meat to show his merit. Recently, because of the Western Xia, he violated the border and violated the people. The crown prince was the generalissimo of the Western Xia, and Lu Junyi, Han Cunbao, Dong Ping, and Guan Sheng were the wings, and Ke said Xingshi. All the soldiers worked together to clear the border and play a triumphant song early. ”

The Hebei Prefectures looked at the wind and fell, and the soldiers and horses of the Liao State were only scared back after a small killing, and the armies originally thought that they were rewarding some wine and meat, and they couldn't help cheering when they heard that there were still five pieces of money.

At the big tent of the Chinese army where everyone arrived, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already prepared a royal wine banquet.

Thousands of commanders, 10,000 commanders, and hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee were all seated.

After three rounds of drinking, Chao Yong came to Han Cunbao with a wine bowl, and saw Han Cunbao's face flushed and sweating like rain, and couldn't help but wonder: "General Han is not feeling well?" ”

Han Cunbao picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "It's okay, it rained yesterday and I was infected with some wind and cold, so it's okay to sweat." Come, I salute the prince. ”

Chao Yong hurriedly said: "Since General Han is unwell, I will disrespect you." The general has been fighting for more than a month, and when he goes to Tokyo to rest for a while, he will transfer Wu Songbu to the west. ”

When Han Cunbao heard this, he hurriedly said: "A little wind and cold, one or two days will be fine." General Lu and all three of them went to the northwest, how could I fall behind? ”

Lu Junyi and the others are in their prime, but Han Cunbao is a veteran, and Chao Yong is really afraid that he will make a mistake halfway. But he also knew that none of these generals were old and couldn't say it so bluntly.

"Actually, I want you and Guan Sheng to rest in Tokyo and prepare to attack Tian Hu. The two of you are familiar with the situation in Hedong, and after defeating the Western Xia, I will attack Hedong, and I want you two to be the vanguard at that time. ”

"Prince Xie is compassionate, and he will obey his orders."

Han Cunbao also guessed Chao Yong's original intention, but all he wanted was to go into battle to kill the enemy, although he couldn't go to fight Western Xia, but it was not bad to turn back and be a pioneer to fight Hedong.

Chao Yong said with a smile: "General Han is not feeling well, so he will eat less wine, so as not to make any mistakes, and when I return to the capital, I will let the divine doctor An Daoquan go to General Han's mansion for a while." ”

Han Cunbao no longer shirked, and said with his fists clenched: "Prince Xie." ”

Chao Yong nodded at Han Cunbao, and walked towards Guan Shengji next to him.

Guan Sheng's face was like a heavy jujube, and after eating a few bowls of wine, his face was a little red and about to drip blood.

Chao Yong saluted Guan Sheng with a bowl and said with a smile: "I want to transfer the general and General Han's headquarters to rest in Tokyo......"

When Guan Sheng heard this, he immediately became a little anxious, in the battle against Liao, Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, and Hua Rong all made contributions, he fought with Wu Yanguang for a while, and in the end, five or six leaders teamed up to capture Wu Yanguang.

Hearing Chao Yong say this, he immediately rushed to say: "No one in the last general's department was injured, and the soldiers were about to go to the northwest to make meritorious contributions, and they asked the prince for permission." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "I want you to rest and prepare to attack Hedong, you are familiar with the geography of Hedong, and you will be used as the vanguard at that time." How is it? ”

Guan Sheng was unmoved, and said, "When will you attack Hedong?" ”

Chao Yong saw that Guan Sheng was not fooled, so he had no choice but to say: "After repelling Western Xia." General Han was caught with a cold, and I was afraid that he would make a mistake, but if he was to be transferred to him, he would be reluctant. General Han is old, and if he is displeased, his condition will worsen, and the sin will be great. That's why I transferred the two of you to rest, General Guan can rest assured, when you fight Hedong, your department must be the main force. ”

Guan Sheng saw that Han Cunbao on the side was also red-faced, so he also nodded and said: "The prince is benevolent, how dare the last general refuse again." The last general is here to wish the prince success and peace in Western Xia in one fell swoop. ”

Chao Yong took the wine bowl and drank it all with Guan Sheng, and said with a smile: "Okay, there have been many changes in the Tokyo military camp, and I would like to ask General Guan for more opinions." ”

Guan Sheng put down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "There are many people in Tokyo who have the art of war, if they can't see it, I'm useless." I waited for the crown prince to triumph in Tokyo, and then went to sweep away Tian Hu. ”

Chao Yong came to Wu Song's case, sat on the ground, and beckoned Mu Hong to come over.

As soon as Mu Hong came over, he saw Li Kui rushing out from behind Lu Junyi, and also squeezed to Chao Yong to sit down, and said with a smile: "Come, I salute everyone with a bowl, today I don't have to worry about military regulations, everyone has a good time." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi saw the excitement here, and also came over.

Chao Yong said with a smile: "You two can eat, Wu Song and Mu Hong don't eat too much, go back to the camp in the afternoon to gather soldiers and horses, and Ming said that the two of you will go to the northwest with me." ”

Wu Song had previously told Chao Yong that he wanted to fight Western Xia, but Chao Yong refused, and said happily when he heard this: "Okay." ”

Mu Hong said suspiciously: "Let's go, who guards Tokyo?" ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "Han Cunbao and Guan Shengbu went back to Beijing to recuperate, General Han is a little older, and he was infected with a cold yesterday, so he returned to Beijing to recuperate." ”

Li Kui tore a chicken leg, shook his head and said, "If you get sick after a little rain, your body is too weak." ”

Chao Yong glared at Li Kui and told him to shut up.

Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "This is good, our old brothers in Liangshan can kill the enemy together again." ”

Li Kui said with a smile: "What Xiao Qi said is that Brother Wu Song and Brother Lu Zhishen, it's a pity that Brother Liu Tang is under the command of Lin Jiaotou, otherwise the four of us will be able to kill Xixia if we get together." ”
