Chapter 36 God's Beloved

The Yun family was busy, and the head of the family was about to leave. Lu Qingying really hoped that her husband could leave after the New Year at home, but Yun Zheng just smiled and shook his head. Logically speaking, the head of the family could take his concubines when he went to guard the border. Even if Lu Qingying was very reluctant, she still planned to send Ge Qiuyan to Yanmen Pass. This matter was rejected by Yun Zheng, and women were not allowed to appear in his army.

This is Yun Zheng's bottom line. He found that the role of the commander general in the Song Dynasty was very obvious. If he was not afraid, his army would not be afraid. If he rushed forward, his subordinates would follow him. If he did not bring women to the battlefield, other generals would not dare to take women to the battlefield. If he did not favor himself, others would not have the courage to favor himself. Once he entered the army, thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at him. Even if his force was low, he would still have to go to battle when the entire army needed to attack, and no one could replace him.

In the past, Yun Zheng thought that Di Qing was wearing a mask and rushing among the troops was a very stupid behavior. The coach should sit in a safe place to command the battle. It was not until he went to the battlefield that he fully understood that if he could not solve the battlefield communication problem, he would not want to rescue the coach from the front line of the battlefield.

The commander Ren Fu died in the Western Xia Dynasty. This was a third-rank senior general. Zhang Zhong, the commander of Guangnan East Road and Jiang Xie, the commander of Guangnan East Road, were also third-rank generals. They did not escape and died at the hands of Nong Zhigao. As for the general of Liao Kingdom, Xiao Dalin, not to mention, as long as there is a war that determines fate, it is not surprising that some senior officers will die.

Yun Zheng doesn't like to wear armor at all. He likes to stand behind in a light fur to watch the battle. Unfortunately, the military soil of the Song Dynasty does not allow such a thing to happen. This is also the reason why civil servants often only have to win small victories but cannot win great victories. However, as long as they fail, it will often be devastating. In the chaos, if the army is gathered, the chief general will be unable to be in front of the army.

Yun Zheng has so far rushed to the battlefield twice, both times when the enemy's defeat was already in the situation. Even so, his legs shaking like playing a pipa when they came down from the battlefield. Fortunately, Yun Zheng's self-control is still good, and such scenes usually only happen when washing blood...

There are many widows in generals, so the Yang family will not talk about them. As long as the generals and widows are used by the court, no one or two widows have yet to be used by them. Even the Shi family and Cao family are no exception. When they conquered Qingtang, Shi Zhongxin's nephew died in battle. When they came back, the Shi family just asked Yun Zheng's nephew if he had ever been effective on the battlefield.

Born in the general's house, if he died in Tokyo, it would be a major accident, and his family would definitely pursue him relentlessly. However, if he died on the battlefield, no one would ask him. Even if the best juniors in the family died, no one would ask him.

When the monkey left, the little cried to death. Before the wedding dress on her body was removed, the monkey was about to go to war. In comparison, the naive niu was much more happy. She shouted at her wife and went out, and then held her hands and watched the monkey jokes with others.

Lu Qingying bit her lip without saying a word. Instead, Luo Luo grabbed her father's clothes and cried and refused to let her father leave. Yun Zheng wasted a lot of effort to comfort her daughter.

When he left, Yun Zheng waved his hand to Lu Qingying. It was only three months since he returned home, and he was about to leave. He felt a little guilty. Su Xun had a foot attack this time and could not get to Yanmen Pass in Yunzhong. However, Su Shi was sent into the army by Lao Su. He was now saying goodbye to Yuner and Su Che with great satisfaction, and promised to give them more military poems.

"I want the right to sign the name!" Yun Er waved to Su Shi, feeling a little regretful. He also wanted to go to Yanmen Pass, but unfortunately, as a hostage, he couldn't even go there, so he was depressed for a long time.

Just as Yun Zheng set out, Yelu Hongji also left Linhuang Mansion and began to move towards Tokyo Road.

It’s not that he likes hunting very much, but because it is the ancestral system, called "Nabo". "Nabo", which is Khitan, which is equivalent to the "moving place" in Chinese where the emperor lives. However, it is very different from the "moving place" of the Central Plains emperors. The emperors of the Central Plains dynasty usually live in the imperial palace in the capital, and "moving place" is only used as a temporary residence when traveling. The Khitan emperor "repeated four times every year and cycle" and patrolled Nabo. Obviously, Nabo is actually the permanent place of the Khitan court.

"The weather is different between heaven and earth, and life is suitable for its own convenience." This is the nomadic custom of living on the vast grasslands and gradually forming the nomadic custom of migrating with the changes of seasons.

After the founding of the Khitan Kingdom, although he learned from the Song Dynasty everywhere, the nomadic life tradition of "living through water and plants" was not abandoned. Even the emperor, who was the king, had to "disappoint cold in autumn and winter, escape the heat in spring and summer, and fish with the water and plants." With the seasons, climate and water plants, he traveled all seasons and handled national political affairs at any time, so the Khitan four-season Nabo system was born. The Khitans generally called the location of the spring and autumn Nabo and "Autumn Mountain". Later generations then referred to the spring water and autumn mountains as the four-season Nabo.

The Chun Nabo location is mainly in the Yuerli in Changchun Prefecture and the Yazi River, a tributary of the Songhua River in the northeast. In the first month of each year, the Emperor of Liao set off from the Dong Nabo camp and stayed at the Chun Nabo land for about 60 days until the "spring ended" in mid-April. The activities of Chun Nabo are mainly hooked fish, catching swans and receiving congratulations from the chiefs of the Jurchens. This year, because the Qin king Yelu Chongyuan fell ill, Yelu Hongji left Linhuang Mansion in advance and advanced to the Yazi River to pray for his uncle.

The army accompanied this time was 60,000 Iron Cavalry. The Jurchen rebellion that had already begun at the beginning of the year made Yelu Hongji spend all his efforts and conquered for more than half a year before quelling the Jurchen rebellion. The head of the Jurchen leader Wu Guru was cut down by the brave Khitan warriors and made into a wine glass. However, Wu Gururu's son Kribo escaped and crawled into the vast forest and disappeared. He heard that Kribo cut off one of his ears and offered it to the gods, vowing to take revenge.

In order to appease the already rioted Jurchens in the East China Sea and not let this storm sweep across the entire Jurchen tribe, Yelu Hongji is preparing to appease these Jurchens on this year's Spring Bottle and reduce the supplies they must offer by 10%... Therefore, this time, the Spring Bottle cannot tolerate any carelessness.

Hook fish is an important activity in Chunnabo. After arriving in Chunnabo, you will first set up a tent on the ice and chisel the ice hook fish. Because the fish is deficient in oxygen under the ice for a long time, "when it comes to a place where it can come out of water, you must also stretch your head and exhale, so you will be able to catch fish with a glance of water."

Usually the first fish is hooked by the emperor himself, and the first fish is called the head fish. After the head fish is obtained, it is called the head fish. After the head fish is obtained, it is a wine and banquet in the big tent. The emperor ordered the chiefs of various Jurchen tribes to come to congratulate him and sing and dance in turn to celebrate the birthday. Generally, the head fish is not ordinary fish, but sturgeons, which have a strong weight and are not easy to catch. In addition to entertainment, the head fish is more important to demonstrate its martial arts and majesty.

When the ice and snow melt and the swans fly back, the activity of catching gooses in Chun Nabo began.

The attendants must wear dark green clothes, each preparing a hammer, an eagle eater, and a thorny goose cone, and stand every five or seven steps around the water.

"The emperor's crown scarf, clothes, wear jade belts, and look at him from the wind." If anyone finds a goose, he will raise the flag high. After the goose is frightened, the servants beat the flat drums and shake the flag.

At this time, the attendant who specializes in raising Haidongqing presented Haidongqing to the emperor, and the emperor let the sea holly fly. Haidongqing flew into the sky and fought with the geese. When the geese and the eagle fell to the ground, the closest attendant immediately stepped forward, picked up the thorny goose cone and killed the goose, and took the goose's brain to eat. After the emperor got the head geese, he would first sacrifice to the ancestral temple, and then the ministers would offer wine and fruits to drink and have fun.

The Liao Kingdom has a vast territory. If you want to maintain a complete country, the emperor would have to keep running around all year round. It was very hard. Yelu Hongji's troubles were the same as Yun Zheng, and there was a communication problem that needed to be solved.

It took the Liao people a full six months to run from the coast of the northeastern sea to the most powerful war horse in the distant Yaba Ge tribe.

"The rebellion of the Tiger Shui Juzhen caused the Liao Dynasty to miss an excellent opportunity to move south or west, which really angered me. If it weren't for the rebellion of the Tiger Shui Juzhen, how could there be the opportunity for the Song general Yun Zheng to destroy the country? Now that Zhao Zhen has a horse farming land in his hands, he would probably have the idea of ​​moving north. After all, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are a steel needle stuck in the hearts of Liao and Song countries." Yelu Hongji, sitting on the huge chariot, sighed softly.

A woman in white fur smiled and said, "Your Majesty has always been brave, capturing countless tigers and shooting wolfs. Why do you suddenly become afraid of Emperor Song Zhao Zhen? Didn't you say that he was just a stubborn emperor before?"

Yelu Hongji smiled and said, "That was the past. Today's Song State has changed a lot. When Nong Zhigao rebelled in the south, I still thought that this time, Song State would be unable to make a comeback for many years. Unexpectedly, his general Di Qing and Yun Zheng, would have suppressed the rebellion in the shortest time. Especially Song General Yun Zheng, who was brave and knowledgeable, led his army to the Jiaozhi State alone and almost destroyed the Jiaozhi State in one battle. He forced the losses of Song State to Jiaozhi. By the time I wanted to increase the annual currency of 100,000 taels of silver and 00,000 pieces of silk, their army had already returned to Song State. Unfortunately, the opportunity was gone forever."

"Yun Zheng was an unknown person before, why did he get His Majesty so praised in a short period of time?" Xiao Guanyin, a woman in white, asked in confusion.

Yelu Hongji said enviously: "This is what the State of Song is like. They can always show the right talents at the right time and help them through some insurmountable dangerous shoals. Could it be that God is really protecting them?
