In a huge school field in Liaoyang Mansion City, in addition to the soldiers guarding the city wall, almost all of the remaining nearly 40,000 soldiers are concentrated here, Zhao Jia stood on the high platform of the school field in heroic armor, and his young face was full of perseverance and said loudly: "Brothers in the army, you may feel very strange, why it is not General Huyan who is giving a lecture to your brothers today, but such a young man who no one knows. ”

As soon as Zhao Jia's words fell, many soldiers below looked at each other, in fact, as soon as he appeared, the soldiers below already felt very strange, because no one recognized him at all, but the military discipline in the Song army was strict, so no one dared to speak, and when they heard Zhao Jia's words, they felt even more strange.

Seeing that although the soldiers below had puzzled looks, no one dared to speak without permission, which made Zhao Jia nod in admiration, which was enough to show that Uncle Ping usually governed the army strictly, otherwise it would be impossible to have such strict discipline.

At that moment, I saw Zhao Jia cough, focusing the eyes of the forty thousand soldiers on himself again, and then continued: "Now let me introduce my identity first, for me, you may have never heard of it, but my father is His Royal Highness the King of Yue of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am also the son of the King of Yue, Zhao Jia!" ”

"Boom~" As soon as Zhao Jia finished introducing his identity, the soldiers below finally couldn't care about any discipline anymore, and suddenly they talked about it as if they were exploding, after all, this news was too amazing, Zhao Jia, who was the son of the Yue Wang, was trapped in Liaoyang Mansion with them, which made everyone feel unbelievable.

Regarding the discussion of the soldiers below, General Cui and the others standing behind Zhao Jia did not stop it, and the hot-tempered General Yu also asked General Cui in a low voice: "Old Cui, why do I think this kid is not simple, look at the calmness and bearing he is showing now." He doesn't look like an ordinary personal guard at all, you say he won't really be the prince of Yue, right? ”

"What is really fake, he is now the prince of Yue, only by making all the soldiers believe that he is the prince of the king, then our army will not be chaotic, and the army of 50,000 people will be able to have enough morale to fight against the Jurchens outside the city. Wait for reinforcements to arrive, so don't ask such stupid questions again in the future! General Cui said with a blank face when he heard Yu Huo's words, in fact, he was not curious in his heart, but compared to Zhao Jia's identity, the life of the 50,000 army was the most important thing at the moment.

Before Zhao Jia proposed to General Cui that he "pretend" himself and use the prestige of his father Zhao Yan to lead the whole army on behalf of Hu Yanping, although this method is a bit unbelievable, it is actually feasible in theory, and General Cui They have no other way. In the end, I finally agreed to Zhao Jia's method, so there was today's scene.

Zhao Jia deliberately set aside a period of time for the people below to accept his identity, and then he continued to speak: "Originally, I served in the navy, served as the captain of a main warship, and participated in this war against Liao, when I was in Chenzhou before, I learned that General Huyan was going to attack Liaoyang Mansion, and I happened to be very interested in this matter. He also wanted to see the difference between army operations and naval operations, so he asked General Huyan to join the operation. As you all know, General Huyan and my father have been friends for many years, and finally agreed to my request and arranged for me to be a personal guard by his side. ”

When he said this, he saw Zhao Jia pause for a moment and then said: "But just the night before yesterday, the Jurchens outside the city entered the city with the help of the tunnel to launch a sneak attack, but they were recognized by General Huyan. The arrangements were made early, but they did not expect that the treacherous Jurchens would ambush the assassins in the city early, and while General Huyan was observing the battle situation, he launched a despicable assassination, resulting in General Huyan now seriously injured and unconscious. ”

"Wow~" Zhao Jia's above voice just fell. Immediately caused an uproar below, although there were already people in the army who were rumored that Yanping was injured, but most people didn't believe it, after all, as the main general, Hu Yanping had a large number of personal guards around him at any time, and it was impossible for the Jurchens to touch his side to launch an assassination, but now I heard Zhao Jia prove that this matter was true, and Hu Yanping was extremely injured, and now he was still unconscious, which made many soldiers angry at the same time, but also a little worried in their hearts, after all, even the main general was injured, So who should these soldiers obey next?

Seeing the discussion of the soldiers below, Zhao Jia said loudly again: "But the brothers in the army don't have to worry, General Huyan's life is not in danger, the medical officer said that he may be awake at any time, and during the period when General Huyan is in a coma, I will temporarily replace General Huyan to take over the army, and you don't have to worry about the Jurchens outside the city, General Huyan has already set a countermeasure before, we just need to stay in the city and stay still, and the reinforcements in the rear will come soon, At that time, the Jurchens outside the city will definitely flee without a fight, and I, as the junior of General Huyan, will definitely not change the countermeasures he set, so in the next few days, I will defend the city with all my brothers until the reinforcements arrive! ”

As soon as Zhao Jia's words were finished, he saw General Cui and General Yu also step forward together, glanced at the soldiers below, and then General Cui, who had the highest prestige, spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of the prince of Yue in the army was originally confidential, except for General Huyan and a few of us, the others did not know, but now that General Huyan was injured, the prince of Yue took the risk to reveal his identity and guard Liaoyang Mansion with everyone!" ”

This was also discussed in advance, General Cui deliberately said that they had known Zhao Jia's identity for a long time, which added to the authenticity of Zhao Jia's identity, plus many of the soldiers below graduated from military schools, even if they had not seen Zhao Yan himself, but they had also seen Zhao Yan's portrait, at this time, under careful observation, it was easy to see that Zhao Jia and Zhao Yan's appearance was indeed somewhat similar, so they were also more convinced of Zhao Jia's identity.

Zhao Jia's identity has been trusted by all the soldiers, so the next thing is much simpler, after all, with Zhao Yan's prestige, his eldest son temporarily took over the army when the army was in danger, which is also a matter of course, and Zhao Jia will not know the command, which also reduces the risk of the army, coupled with the support of General Cui and others, so Zhao Jia took over the army very smoothly, of course, this is only nominal, and the main generals who really command the army are General Cui.

After taking over the army, Zhao Jia immediately began a journey to appease people's hearts, after all, Hu Yanping's injury and coma will still have a certain impact on the army's heart, even if he takes over the army, but he can't do nothing, so in the next time, he is accompanied by General Cui and others, or ascends to the city, if he comes to the camp of the soldiers, he talks cordially with the soldiers he meets, and he also eats with the soldiers during the meal, and he eats whatever he does in the army, without the slightest point of Wang Shizi's shelf.

Speaking of which, because of the lack of food, all the food in the army was concentrated and distributed in a unified manner, and the soldiers in the city could only drink thin soup every day, and some wild vegetables in the corners of some people's houses in the city were dug up and thrown into the pot, and the soup made tasted everything, but Zhao Jia did not have any dislike at all, and often laughed with the soldiers while eating, which made him quickly integrate into the army.

Don't underestimate Zhao Jia's above events, although they seem to be trivial, but they quickly stabilize the morale of the army in the city, after all, in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, Zhao Yan, as the prince of Yue Wang, must be pampered, and now even people don't complain at all, and they can't be worse than Zhao Jia when they are soldiers, so although they eat like pig food every day, the fighting spirit of the army has not declined at all, which also makes General Cui and them finally put their minds at ease.

However, just when Zhao Jia had just calmed down the army's heart, the Jurchens outside the city seemed to have gotten some news and began to gather troops to attack the city, at first it was just a tentative attack, and they were easily beaten back by the Song army, but then they began to attack the city with all their might, especially when they did not see Hu Yanping, who was the main general, appeared on the head of the city, they behaved even more crazy, and every time they attacked the city, the Jurchens would shout that Hu Yanping was dead, so that the Song army in the city would surrender quickly.

In fact, Ah Guta outside the city didn't know whether Hu Yanping was dead or not, and he didn't know what happened to the assassins he arranged, but he did everything he could, so whether these arrangements were successful or not, he had to give it a try, anyway, they just shouted a few words outside, if Hu Yanping was not dead, they would naturally stand up and clarify, but if the other party was really dead, then their shouts would definitely shake the military heart of the Song army.

As a result, Ah Guda was very pleasantly surprised that when he attacked Liaoyang Mansion before, Hu Yanping did not appear, and now he shouted so outside the city, but the other party still did not appear, so he could almost conclude that the other party was seriously injured even if he did not die, and he couldn't even come forward to clarify, which also made him command the army and launch a more crazy attack on Liaoyang Mansion.

In the face of the crazy attack of the Liao army, almost all the main generals such as General Cui in the city went to the city to supervise the battle, and repelled more than a dozen attacks of the Jurchens in a day. This made General Cui and his team have to constantly mobilize troops to replace the defenders at the head of the city, which withstood the attack of the Jurchens.

Finally survived into the night, General Cui and they thought that the Jurchens would stop attacking, but they didn't expect the other party to raise a tall fire on the battlefield and light torches to prepare for a night battle, which was undoubtedly a huge disaster for the Song army, which was exhausted but could not get food to replenish!
