Chapter 186: What is the difference between inside and outside the asymptotic boundary (2)
After sighing, Zhao Si turned around and asked Yao Xiong and Gao Shize, "Have you ever been to the north?"
The Yanmen Cavalry Division is responsible for the defense of this section.
The division was originally commanded by He Guan, but he was transferred to support Lingbei Economic Strategy. The command was changed to Yao Xiong, and Gao Shize joined the division.
Yao Xiong looked at Gao Shize and said in a low voice: "If you want to reply to Your Majesty, I and Gao Shenjun will take turns going there."
Tan Shiji and Yu Wenxu, who were standing nearby, looked at each other and sighed secretly. They were indeed generals brought out by the officials, and each of them was extremely brave.
Now in name, Song and Liao are brothers and friends, and business between the two sides is booming. But in fact, the generals of the Song army basically know that there will definitely be a war between Song and Liao.
The knowledgeable people in Liao also knew this.
Therefore, the Song and Liao countries were extremely prosperous economically, and merchants from both sides had close exchanges; secondly, they were also very friendly politically, with an endless stream of envoys coming and going.
Not to mention the New Year's Day and Emperor Tianzuo's birthday, not to mention these big festivals, a birthday celebration mission must be sent out very grandly. Even if Emperor Tianzuo's new palace in Nanjing is completed, Zhao Si will send an envoy.
Transported a large number of treasures and ornaments to congratulate the brother of Liao on his new move.
As for the Song Dynasty, it was the birthday of Empress Dowager Zhu, and Emperor Tianzuo would definitely send an envoy to congratulate the aunt of the Song Dynasty for a long life.
But in terms of military affairs, it was as cold as the ice caves in the North Sea during the twelfth lunar month of winter. There was no contact between the armies of the two sides. In border states and counties, when they met during patrols, they scolded each other and each greeted the other's 18-year-old woman.
Only the generals of the Song State dared to disguise themselves and go to the territory of the Liao State to investigate the situation on the spot. However, the generals and officers of the Liao State rarely came south.
First, he didn’t have the spirit and interest. Second, the Song Dynasty was under strict control, with troops stationed in various defense areas, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Privy Council’s Inspection Bureau all checking the situation at all levels. Going deeper into the hinterland, the county soldiers, security police teams, and local governments in each state and county
The security police are another airtight network.
Counterintelligence and anti-espionage are the top priority of the daily work of the military and police departments in Hedong and Hebei. The Guanyintang composed of professionals has existed in name only. If spies are sent in, there will be no return in all likelihood.
Therefore, those generals and officers of the Liao Kingdom would never take huge risks to visit the Song Kingdom.
"How's it going?"
Yao Xiong and Gao Shize's answers were similar to Zhang Shiyun's.
When an opportunity came, Gao Shi saw that there was no one around him, so he couldn't help but said to Zhao Si: "Guan family, you didn't send me to the battle to destroy Xia, the expedition to Mobei, and the strategy of Lingbei, but you didn't use me. Guan family.
Family, do you think I am just an embroidered pillow and unreliable?"
"The Sword Comes"
In response to the question from his childhood friend, Zhao Si laughed: "Gao Erlang, you still don't know how much you weigh? Are you going to be used in the war to destroy Xia? In the third year of Yuanfu, I will transfer you to Pingxia
When you were in the army, you complained every day that the wind and sand in the west were so strong that it ruined your handsome face."
"Besides, your father only has you. If something happens to your boy, his old couple will come to me in front of Donghua Gate to cry to me. I will transfer you to the Yanmen Cavalry Division, and your mother will have three days."
The two took the opportunity to go to Shengci Palace to cry to the Queen Mother. Erlang, can you blame me for this?"
Gao Shize suddenly drooped his face and was speechless.
"There are no bad parents in the world. Erlang, your parents also really feel sorry for you. I also know what you and Pan Qilang are thinking. If you are good, you can still serve in the border army. Pan Qilang is my brother-in-law
, the Queen Mother directly spoke to me, saying that I would be away from home for three days and that she should be accompanied by her relatives."
"So the third sister and the tenth sister must always be with her, and for the happiness of the two sisters' family and the road of human relations, the two princes must also stay in Kaifeng City. Gao Erlang, be content. Think about it, Pan Qilang is worse off than you
, you can't even get out of Kaifeng City, is the depression in your heart less than half of it?"
Gao Shize chuckled, "Guan Jia, when you say this, when I think about it again, I really feel less depressed by more than half. At least I can get the medal of bravery from the Yanyun Sixteen Provinces Recapture War, Pan Qilang
I’m afraid I can only watch.”
After passing Taining Mountain, it was the defense zone of the Hebei Baoning Army. In the sentry camp on the mountain, Wang Zhen, the leader of Zhongshi Dao, sent off Zhao Si and his party in a low-key manner.
After crossing a ravine, the commander-in-chief of the Baoning Army, Xu Chunzhi, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zhongshi Division, Yang Weizhong, who joined the army, came to pick him up.
"Front and loyal among teachers, thank you for your hard work."
"It is the duty of ministers to guard the country's borders." The three men replied respectfully.
Accompanied by them, Zhao Si patrolled eastward along the Song-Liao border between Zhending and Baoding prefectures. When they arrived at the former Guangxin Army, now located in Suicheng County, Baoding Prefecture, they rested for a day.
Zhao Si called Yang Weizhong to him.
"Weizhong, I heard that you have some complaints in your heart these days?"
As soon as Zhao Si opened his mouth, Yang Weizhong was so frightened that he immediately stood up from his chair, lowered his head and sweated, and replied repeatedly: "I am so frightened that I dare not feel any resentment even if I die."
"Weizhong, it doesn't have to be like this!" Zhao Si stood up and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Sit down, you and I, monarch and minister, will take this opportunity tonight to have a good chat." Zhao Si got straight to the point, "At that time, among the eight generals in the northwest, among the masters, Yao Xiong, Liu Fa, Zhao Long, Gao Yongnian and you
, are my first team members in Qiandi. In order to ensure my smooth accession to the throne, you all made great efforts, especially you Wei Zhong, who served as the commander in chief of the palace and guarded the palace gates, and made great contributions."
"In the past few years since I came to the throne, Liu Fa, Zhao Long, and Gao Yongnian have been on an expedition to Mobei. Yao Xiong has been in charge of the division. Among the divisions, the Baoning Army has all joined the army and is in charge of the Bohai Division. There are different levels of official positions, but they are all chief officers.
You are the only one who can stand alone. After Yuan Fu was transferred to Baoning Army in the third year to join the army, we did not have you in the battle to destroy Xia, nor did we conquer Mobei without you."
At this point, Zhao Si's tone became a little sharp, "The name is Army Chief, but he is actually the chief of staff. He is not the chief officer, so he cannot act alone. Wei Zhong, do you feel that I am wary of you?"
Yang Weizhong lowered his head and did not dare to express his anger. He quickly replied: "I don't dare!"
"To tell you the truth, I am indeed wary of you and testing you! Yang Weizhong, is your surname Yang or Kang?"
Yang Weizhong felt as if he was electrocuted. His body trembled suddenly and he knelt on the ground.
"I am guilty!"
"Say it!" Zhao Si said calmly.
"It's Your Majesty!" Yang Weizhong knelt on the ground and stated respectfully.
"My grandfather was Duke Shen Zhao (origin of Kangbao) who was deployed in the capital. During the reign of Zhenzong, the Khitan invaded. My ancestor was defending the enemy in the river. Unfortunately, he was trapped in a tight siege. The soldiers exhausted all their strength and were captured. All the generals at that time said that my ancestor had martyred his country, and Zhenzong also praised the late emperor.
By grace, our ancestors changed their surname to Yang in order not to disgrace their ancestors."
"I have been told since I was a child that my ancestor is Zhongliang of the Song Dynasty. Because...the God is not beautiful, I live in a foreign vassal, trying to survive, so I have to endure humiliation and live an ignoble life. In the sixth year of Yuanyou, when I was twenty years old, I left Liao Dynasty against my father's orders.
Entering the Song Dynasty. Before leaving, my father named me Weizhong, which means Jingguo Weizhong and wash away the shame of our ancestors. In September, I went to Tongyuan City, Huanzhou, Huanqing Road, and recruited into the Tibetan army as a member of the Xifan tribe.
, he was registered as Yang Weizhong in the army."
After Zhao Si listened, he nodded calmly and said with relief: "I believe in your loyalty. It's just that your status is special, and I want to test you. So I transferred you to the border of Song and Liao and pressed you here.
I just want to see your character. To this day, I can say, Yang Weizhong, you have passed the test, I can trust you, and the Song Dynasty can trust you!"
Yang Weizhong cried and said: "I am sincerely afraid, fearing that I will betray your majesty's trust and expectations. Today, your majesty has said that I will not give up even if I die."
Zhao Si looked at him and sighed slightly in his heart.
Someone secretly discovered this matter and then reported it to me. More importantly, this matter involved an open and covert struggle between the old-school officers and the new-school officers, and between the former Central Forbidden Army officers and the Western Army officers.
Yang Weizhong belonged to the new army of officers and was from the Western Army. When someone inadvertently discovered this private matter, he naturally became a target. When it came to him, he could only deal with it secretly.
How could there be no factions in such a huge military system? How could factions be secretly fighting each other? You must deal with it carefully and not deal with it roughly like you did with the die-hards who hindered the progress of the New Deal.
"I know your grievances." Zhao Si comforted, "Weizhong, in August you will lead the third batch of Lingbei rotation officer regiment to support Xuan Ming and Liu Fa."
"Yes!" Yang Weizhong responded with high spirits. This chapter has been completed!
