Chapter 207 200,000 Army

Zhang Jing and others soon arrived in front of the pavilion. Zhang Jing, General Xu, were all the leaders, managers and many generals.

"I will see Your Majesty!"

More than ten people in the group bowed together. Some raised their hands and bowed, while others knelt on one knee, with loud and uniform voices.

Zhao Xu looked at the group of people, nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward to support Zhang Qing, and said, "Zhang Qing's family is exempt from rituals, Xu Qing's family, all the Qing's families are invited. You are the great heroes of my Song Dynasty, and you are not polite today!"

Zhang Qing, Xu Jiang and others stood up, Zhao Xu held Zhang Qing's wrists, and his face was full of excitement, saying, "The Zhang Qing family did not disappoint me. The battle on the road to the Qing Dynasty greatly boosted the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, wiped out the shame during the Yuanfeng period, and boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty! Zhang Qing family, you have made great contributions!"

Zhang Dun felt the strength of Zhao Xu's hands, and his thin face remained motionless, saying, "I dare not take credit, it depends on Your Majesty's plan and the soldiers' lives."

Zhao Xu smiled, let go of his hand, looked at Xu General, Wang Wenyu and others, and said, "It is a polite word to plan for strategy, but it is true that the soldiers use their lives. All the Qing families are meritorious officials of my Song Dynasty, and I will never forget any of them!"

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not speak politely in the officialdom, the crowd was moved and raised his hand and said, "I dare not!"

Zhao Xu was really happy at this moment, so he waved his hands and said, "I don't know most people. Zhang Qing's family, let me introduce it first."

Zhang Dun responded to the side, looked at the Northwest General with an excited look on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, this is Wang Wenyu, the governor of Xihe Road."

Wang Wenyu is a thin middle-aged man with a thin scholar. His face was as normal and said, "My minister Wang Wenyu has met the official family."

Zhao Xu nodded and smiled and said, "Wang Qing's family commanded well and was calm and moderate in the battle."

"Thank you for yourselves." Wang Wenyu's eyes flashed happily.

"This is Sun Lu, the master of Hedong Road." Zhang Qi said to the old man who was half a year old.

Before he could speak, Zhao Xu said, "I know about the Sun Qing family. All kinds of things will inevitably happen on the battlefield. The Zhang Qing family has already told the story in the memorial book. I believe in the Zhang Qing family and the Sun Qing family."

Sun Lu quickly raised his hand and said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

When Hedong Road was supporting Huanqing Road, a group of troops did not arrive at the designated location on time, which led to a passive war situation on Huanqing Road, and other generals from all walks of life complained.

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not pursue the matter, Zhang Feng relaxed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Mingzhou defense envoy Zhong Jianzhong, and the commander of the Xiang army, Zong Shizhong, are two brothers."

"I am Zhong Jianzhong, Master Zhong, please see Your Majesty!" Zhong Jianzhong, two brothers from Zhong, both kneeled on one knee and said.

Zhao Xu looked at the two of them with a strange expression and said, "No gift."

The two stood up, standing upright.

These two brothers are both strong men with a fat waist and round waist. Jianzhong's expression is dull and he is a rough man. Master Zhong has the elegant temperament of a scholar and is a Confucian general.

Zhao Xu observed the two of them for a while and said with a smile: "I have heard of the name of the Zhong family army. From the ancestors of the two Qing families, my grandfather and uncle have made great contributions in the northwest to fight Xia and Liao. I have always remembered that the two Qing families can not forget the will of their ancestors and show their bravery. This time, I admire the rewards of the two Qing families in terms of merit, not only the two Qing families, but also the achievements of the ancestors of the Zhong family should also be expressed!"

Master Zhong was surprised and happy, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

Zhong Jianzhong was a little slower and said in a muffled voice: "Thank you Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu smiled, pondered for a moment, looked at the two brothers and asked, "I know that there are many brothers in the Zong family. I wonder if there is a Master Zong?"

Zhong Jianzhong did not react much, but after Zhong Shizhong recalled, he said, "Go back to your Majesty, our Zong family does not have the name of Shi. I am the Houzhong for this generation."

Zhao Xu said oh, feeling confused.

He vaguely remembered that the Zhong family had a master of Master Zhong and was well-known, but he had consulted a lot of information these days but had not found this person.

Zhang Feng waited for a while, and then continued to introduce, "The official family, this is the youngest brother of the prince, Wang Anli."

Although the Zong brothers were puzzled, they took a step back and highlighted Wang Anli.

Wang Anli looked a little uneasy and raised his hand and said, "My minister Wang Anli has met the official family."

Zhao Xu looked at him, his smile disappeared, and he said lightly: "Wang Qing family, you have asked me a problem."

Wang Anli has been uneasy these days. He heard this and slowly knelt down and said, "I am not strict in educating my son, and I will cause a big disaster. Please punish him severely!"

The other charges of the Wang family may be fake, but the encroachment of Yongyetian cannot be removed, and Wang Anli admitted it.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "The three judicial departments will deal with your case. I don't care. Get up."

Wang Anli became more and more frightened, but knew that it was not suitable to say too much at this time, so he could only apologize and stand up and retreat to the back with a depressed expression.

Zhang Feng glanced at him and continued to introduce, "Official family, this is the Qinfeng Road Qizhou Observer Zhe Keshi..."

Zhao Xu looked at Zhe Keshi, who was also the main force of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty and was well-known.

Zhao Xu naturally praised and encouraged with a smile.

Zhe Keshi was serious and tall, raising his hand and responding silently.

Zhang Shi introduced them one by one, Zhao Xu recognized them one by one, most of whom had never seen them, and had no impression of them. He remembered his official position seriously, praised him from time to time in front of others.

After the introduction, Zhao Xu smiled and everyone, and waved his hand, Tong Guan came over with a plate. Inside was a gold medal made by Zhao Xu. On the front was the "Song" written by Zhao Xu, and behind was the golden dragon.

Zhao Xu looked at everyone and said, "This gold medal has no special meaning. It is just that I thank you for your sacrifice for the Song Dynasty. It is my personal thank you."

Tong Guan listened and went forward to pay one by one.

Everyone did not expect this to happen, so they bowed and raised their hands to take it.

Zhang Yue was the first one, touching the cold and textured gold medal, his expression was slightly moved.

Xu Jiang, Wang Wenyu, Sun Lu, Zhong Jianzhong, Zhong Shizhong and others, and everyone had excited expressions and took it carefully.

After Zhao Xu finished his selfish things, he smiled and said, "Your families, let's go and tell me about the battle on Huanqing Road. Later, I will tell you about the things in Kaifeng City."

Huanqing Road has already won a great victory, so it is naturally all about credit, but Kaifeng City is extraordinary.

People including General Xu looked slightly solemn, followed Zhao Xu, slowly paced towards Kaifeng City.

Zhang Qi began to talk about the battle of Huanqing Road, everything was very detailed.

Since he carefully obtained information about the attacks of the Xia people, Zhang Feng has been making arrangements. The Xia people came in full force, carrying iron cavalry and an army of 300,000. He was sure that he could not fight head-on, so he formulated the tactic of "tempting the enemy into depth, strengthening the walls and clearing the fields."

Zhang Qi said, and the other generals made additional arrangements, Wang Wenyu, Sun Lu, the brothers of the Zong family, Zhe Keshi and others spoke in time, telling their battle.

Although they said it simply, Zhao Xu could still feel the difficulties and dangers.

If the Xia people broke through Huanqing Road, they could reach Kaifeng City, which was safe and had no danger and was empty!

Such consequences are unimaginable!

It took me nearly an hour to say that the verbal words were considered to be controlled.

Even though these are personal experiences of the generals in the Northwest, they are still thrilling when they think back on it and find it difficult to calm down for a while.

Zhao Xu listened silently and felt relieved. This big victory in the battle would have used too many benefits for him!

The most important thing is that the 200,000 Northwest Army was firmly in his hands!

With the confidence of this 200,000 army, no one can shake the dragon throne under his butt!

If he sits firmly on the throne, then his reforms will be unstoppable!

After walking for a while, Zhao Xu smiled and said, "You are indeed the pillars of my Song Dynasty, my stronghold. I know that you are worried that the matter in the capital will affect you. Don't worry, I have carefully read the files and have little to do with you. Even if there is one, I will pardon them all."

Many people showed relief. Most of them, such as the side generals and commanders, have been over forty years, and how could they escape the "new and old" struggle between the two parties that have lasted for decades, especially with the big figures in Beijing, which are more or less related.

Seeing that the official family was protecting them with great words, I felt completely at ease.

The only exception is probably Wang Anli.

Zhao Xu was wearing a thick cotton coat and facing the slightly cold wind, saying, "You have talked about Huanqing Road, and I will also tell you about the affairs in Beijing."

Everyone looked dark. Too many things happened in the capital in the past six months, especially the Empress Dowager withdrew the curtain, "One emperor and one minister". The Empress Dowager's people were basically liquidated, and even two husbands died, and four or five husbands were still in prison.

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Su Che could still hold on, but the loss of military pay from Huanqing Road was a three-level officer. He was assassinated, and the person behind the scenes killed people to silence him. Among them, Lu Dafang was involved in the Lu family, and there were princes of the royal family. Lu Dafang committed suicide for fear of crime, which triggered a struggle between the government and the government. Some people reprimanded the "Dengzhou Ayun Case" during the Xining period, putting me in a state of unfilial piety. Sima Guang and others were punished in this matter... The court reform was to gather scattered power, and the transitional checks and balances made the court's governance inefficient... I am determined to inherit the will of the late emperor and launch a new law. You also know that this incident caused conflict between the government and the government since the father ascended the throne, and now it is even more..."

Zhao Xu's words did not mention Empress Dowager Gao, which was a bit underestimated.

But anyone present was not a human spirit, and could hear the swords and swords in Kaifeng City during this period, and there were many crises.

Xu General followed with a calm expression, glanced at the expressions of the people behind Zhang Feng and suddenly asked, "The official family is still peaceful in the capital? I heard that Zhang Zihou, Zhang's husband has a hot temper and can't wait for a moment."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then understood what Xu Jiang meant, and smiled in a relaxed tone: "It's not all him, but I have told the Political Affairs Hall that all matters will end this year. After next year, no matter how big the matter is, we should deal with it in a low-key manner. It will not make people panic and the world will be uneasy."

Seeing Wang Wenyu and others' expressions relaxed, Xu General said, "Officials, I have been in the northwest for many days and have had some contact with all the border generals. They are all used to the battlefield and are straightforward and will not turn around. I am afraid that they are not used to it in the court, and may cause trouble for the officials and make it difficult for the officials to do it."

Everyone looked at Xu Jiang and looked grateful.
