The rays of light pierced through the mist of dawn and projected on the bright red golden star flag on the Taiyuan Military Academy's platform, which was three feet tall and half larger than an ordinary flag. The golden red flag shines brightly.

The flag danced lightly in the morning breeze, just like the three thousand young and resolute faces below the stage.

The three thousand Tianzhu Army soldiers stood in eight columns, neatly as tofu blocks, and with a proud and proud look, they saluted the Tianzhu Army flag.

Yes, they have reasons to be proud and also to be proud, just because today is the Tianzhu Army Commendation Conference, which will present awards to the soldiers who have made contributions to the Taiyuan Battle and the Battle of Yinzhou.

The reason why this award ceremony was postponed until now was that in addition to the beginning of entering Taiyuan, everyone was so busy that they could not count their military achievements for the time being, the protagonist of the Battle of Yinzhou, the third mixed brigade, did not return to the garrison.

Three days ago, with the signed and effective peace edict, the Cao family and son who went to receive Yinzhou, who had arrived in Yinzhou. Zhang Li, who had already prepared to withdraw his troops, immediately rushed back to Taiyuan after completing all the handover procedures. While crossing the Yellow River, he happened to meet a team of hunters led by the Tianzhu army. The Tianzhu army used 500 war horses and armor to exchange for the Jinning Army and the three states of Fengfeng in Linfu. Of course, these new recruits could only walk to Taiyuan at this time.

Both sides met and were very happy: Zhang Li was happy that the most in short supply of cavalry in the Tianzhu Army finally had a new source; and the new recruits were happy that there were mounts.

That's right, the cavalry regiment of the Third Mixed Brigade was originally one man and two horses. When they withdrew from Yinzhou, the Xia people were happy and gave a batch of alpacas and hundreds of good horses to express their gratitude. In this way, the two armies gathered together, and the chariots and cavalry marched quickly, barely rushing back to Taiyuan before the commendation meeting.

Of course, it is still the time of war. The commendation meeting of the entire army naturally cannot allow more than 20,000 Tianzhu troops to gather in Taiyuan Military Academy to receive the award ceremony. They can only select award-winning representatives from the camp, capital, and team to come to Taiyuan. These three thousand soldiers performed outstandingly and made contributions in the Taiyuan Battle and the Battle of Yinzhou.

"The First Battalion of Taiyuan was awarded the Heavy Armored Long Spear Battalion of the First Mixed Brigade. Please ask the Deputy Commander Dong Xian to represent the camp to come to the stage to receive the reward."

On the stage, Di Lie personally presided over the award ceremony and handed over the reward to every soldier representative who came on stage. He would never let anyone do such a great opportunity to show kindness and conquer people's hearts.

The word "dai" on his head was removed. In just half a year, he was promoted from a grassroots chief to the deputy commander of the battalion and the military rank was the captain, which was an affirmation of Dong Xian's excellent record. Dong Xian also fulfilled his oath and was the first to rush into Taiyuan City, leading his battalion's capital to become the latest chapter of the prisoner. He won the glory of the "Taiyuan First Battalion". In the battle of Taiyuan, he killed 37 enemies and won the 26th head, with his personal record as the first in the entire army.

Di Lie handed over the new battle flag, military rank card and reward gift list representing the first battalion of Taiyuan to Dong Xian, and smiled and said, "You have done all the glory, obedience, loyalty, and sacrifice. Very good, keep working hard. I hope that the next military merit meeting, the leader of the army will be able to wear the military rank card of General Lang for you."

Dong Xian touched a chest-knocking ceremony firmly, and said with a loud voice: "The humble position will definitely not disappoint the military leader!"

Di Lie nodded with a smile. When Dong Xian turned around, he suddenly said a bit confused: "Bei Zhi has always wanted to understand the skills of the military leader. Thank you for your wish to fulfill Bei Zhi. Bei Zhi is convinced."

Di Lie was stunned for a moment, and then recalled what Dong Xian said. It was about the fact that he pretended to be a Jin soldier under the Nanguan City of Taiyuan and knocked him out. With a smile, Dong Xian said, "It's not that he lost his true nature as a brave general."

Next, the engineers of the Second Mixed Brigade of Shouyang were blasted, the first, second, fourth and fifth hunters of Wanyan Tuhesu, the White Horse Brigade of Shouyang, the various independent brigades that successfully blocked the aid, and the second Mixed Brigade of the Shenduiyi Battle... Basically, all the brigades of the First Field Army made more or less meritorious. This reward, at least one-fifth of the reserves in the Taiyuan Dabao Warehouse were cleared.

Hou Fangjing, the finance and taxation chief in Tianshu City, looked at the warehouses that were constantly emptied, and it hurts...

Di Lie still felt that he was not empty enough: "Isn't this four-fifths left? When we eat meat, the soldiers cannot just drink soup. If the soldiers of each brigade have another military merit, even if they clear the large warehouse, I will only be happy."

After the collective honor is awarded, it is personal honor, and the highest manifestation of personal honor is naturally the medal of military merit.

Nearly half of the soldiers in the army received a fourth-level medal of copper and iron; nearly a thousand people received a third-level medal of pure copper; and a hundred people received a second-level medal of silver and bronze; and seven people also received a first-level medal of gold and bronze.

Since the special medal of gold-inlaid jade can only be obtained by major contributors. Generally speaking, the first-level medal is the highest reward and merit of ordinary non-commissioned officers. Therefore, these seven first-level medal winners have another title in the entire army, "Seven Warriors". Among the seven people, Zhang Rui, who severely damaged Wanyan Tuhesu and changed the situation in Taiyuan; Dong Xian, who killed the enemy first, broke into the enemy camp alone, and lifted the siege of Jingxing...

The matching of the medal of military merits is another reward for the price of water. Next to the general platform, the mountains of wealth, rice, flour, cattle, sheep, mules and horses were distributed all in just two hours.

Not to mention how shocked, envious, admired and ready to move the people of Taiyuan City who were watching the audience. Even the guest envoys who were watching the ceremony on the stage had long seen the envoys of the left-behind Division and their guards who were used to various rewards, they were all very surprised. - The reward from the Tianzhu Army was too generous, right?

Zong Ying shook his head and sighed: "The Tianzhu Army occupied Taiyuan, a major military capital in the Jin army, and made a huge profit. It is less than 40,000 troops, but it has military funds that can support a 100,000 army in one year's military operations. Even my stay-at-home department is far from enough!"

Yue Fei's view was slightly different: "Which reward is important, it can also gather the morale of the army and enhance morale. However, in Fei's view, the military merit system is the real finishing touch. With this measure, our soldiers of the Song Dynasty washed away the shame of "the lowly army" and regained the hearts of the brave--just like the "seven warriors" of the Tianzhu Army."

Hu Yancisheng whispered: "Brother Min, don't delay any longer in Tokyo, you should stop it!"

Zong Ying turned his head and looked at Yue Fei: "Pengju, what do you mean?"

Yue Fei bowed slightly, his eyes flashed with a decisive tone: "I have been waiting for the past few days to travel to the entire Tianshu City, and I have a deep understanding of the past achievements and strength of the Tianzhu Army. Such a strong army. With the support of the Holy Queen, it is definitely not my remaining officer to recruit, and even the Emperor Yan... Fei means to join the alliance as the best."

When Yue Fei heard the words "Zheng Jianyan", the two envoys from the Left-behind Office subconsciously avoided it. Zong Ying finally focused on it: "Okay! Time is not waiting for me, and I am in a hurry to follow the power. Zong Ying made his own decisions and talked about the alliance!"

...

"Geong?" Di Lie rubbed his chin that had just been scraped clean, looked at the two envoys in front of him with interest, and smiled slightly, "Tell me, how to read the full text of the Genang Anime Hot."

On the night of the military merit award ceremony, Di Lie finally accepted the request for a meeting from the envoy Song. He was officially received at the main hall of the Taiyuan Prefecture Yamen. There were also two leaders of Taiyuan Prefecture: Chen Gui and Zhang Jiao, who also attended. In such a formal occasion, except for the chief and deputy envoys, who led the team like Yue Fei, there was no need to attend, and they could only stand guard outside the mansion.

Zong Ying said it. He kept his heart in mind. Seeing that the powerful city lord Di had no special reaction, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and talked: "My Tokyo stayed in Bianjing, with millions of soldiers and civilians, sufficient armor and equipment, and enough food to support half a year's expenses. At this time, under the command and dispatch of Zong Xianggong, he arranged twenty-four chain camps along the rivers and mountains, and according to the location, blocked the Jin army's way south. Even with the strength of the Jin chief's tens of thousands of troops in the west of the Jin army, he could not enter the gate and eventually returned in a defeat. The city lord Di took Taiyuan, drove the Jin enemy, seized Hedong, and pacified the northwest. He had great achievements and unparalleled achievements. He had tens of thousands of tigers and wolves who could fight. Looking at the world, he no longer had the idea of ​​a second person. If you and I were sincerely united, leaned against each other, and helped each other, if the Jin people wanted to invade the south, they would be difficult to succeed."

Hu Yancisheng also added: "Although it is an alliance, it has nothing to do with command and subordinates. The two armies do their own affairs, but they can communicate with each other... My left-behind department can provide manpower and material resources to help your army grow. I also ask Lord Di to help my left-behind department some military weapons..."

Military weapons? Di Lie smiled. What military weapons would the left-behind department lack? There is no doubt that it can only be the thunderbolt. Seeing the power of the thunderbolt, the people in the left-behind department were still moved.

Di Lie used his eyes to signal Chen Gui and Zhang Jiao to see what their opinions were.

It should be said that Zong Ying's proposal is still good, basically there are advantages and disadvantages. Under the current circumstances, it is indeed beneficial to cooperate with the Tokyo Left-behind Department. Both sides only communicate and cooperate with each other when fighting with the Jin army to improve combat efficiency and combat results. They are not subordinate to each other and do their own politics, which is indeed the style of alliance cooperation.

Chen and Zhang asked Zong Ying and others while thinking about it. After repeated consultations and considerations, they finally agreed to Di Lie, indicating that it was feasible.

Di Lie laughed: "Okay! Since my think tank says it's okay, it's okay."

Zong Ying and Hu Yancisheng were very happy. Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, and now there is only one last problem left.

Zong Ying stepped forward and bowed. He had already confirmed that the two sides had an alliance, so the status of this City Lord Di was equivalent to his father Zong Ze's position as the position of a stay in Tokyo. Therefore, this time, Zong Ying had no psychological barriers to the ceremony. After the ceremony, he said loudly: "In this way, please send someone to Tokyo to meet my father and make an offensive and defensive alliance with each other. In the opinion of Zong Ying, it is best for the City Lord to go in person to show his sincerity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Gui and Zhang Jiao stopped him in unison: "No! The city lord is responsible for his heavy responsibility and has been doing everything he wants every day. He is the hope of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Tianshu City. How can he leave the city easily and take risks easily..."

Hu Yancisheng was unhappy: "What do you mean by the two men? Could it be that my Tokyo city has become a dragon's nest?"

Chen and Zhang also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly corrected: "This time I went to Tokyo, I was a place where the Jin people entrenched. I will have some experience when I came here this time, and I did not refer to Tokyo."

Zong Ying showed a faint sarcasm on his face: "The Jin people can do nothing to do when they come and go on a boat, but they don't realize it is dangerous. Of course, if the city lord is inconvenient, he can also ask Chen Fujun or Zhang to envoy any of them to go there."

As soon as Zong Ying said this, Chen and Zhang looked at each other - Zong Ying said it well. To go to Tokyo to discuss the specific matters of the alliance with Zong Ze, it can only be one of the three people present, and the others are not qualified. The royal family is enough, but this time, unlike the last time when they went to the northwest, the Ji Ning army and the Zhe family army, it is impossible to send the royal family to the royal family. Because Zong Ze is a hardcore Kang Wang Party, and the second person in Tokyo City, the deputy left-behind Guo Xun, is a dark blade arranged by Emperor Jianyan in Tokyo. Once any member of the royal family appears in Tokyo, there will be only one end - there will be no return.

"I'll go!" Chen Gui stood up and said.

"No, Taiyuan is initially settled. All things are waiting to be done. Brother Yuanze is busy with official duties and has less than three hours of sleep a day, which is not enough to handle everything. In this case, how can you leave easily? I'd better do it for you. Korean Entertainment is very much in the future." Zhang Jiao stood up and bowed to Di Lie to ask for permission.

Di Lie had not spoken yet. Zong Ying smiled faintly again: "Although my father is a scholar, he is full of strong and strong, and his righteousness is in his place, so he is brave and fearless. If he had not been old and weak, and was worried about national affairs, he devoted all his energy to fight against the Jin Captain who invaded the south. As a result, he would not get sick, he would definitely come to Taiyuan in person to meet the city lord and meet the saint queen." This sentence was full of suffocation.

Di Lie kept silent, thinking about gains and losses. At this time, when he heard Zong Ying's words, he suddenly touched the memory in his mind and blurted out: "Is Xiang Gong Zong's back poisonous?"

"It's... it's..." Zong Ying was very surprised. His father was ill at home. Although everyone knew about Tokyo, most of them didn't know the details. He only said that it was a minor illness in the heat and a cervical back. Only a few people knew about it. How could the lord of a city thousands of miles away know? Could it be that he had his eyes and ears arranged in Tokyo?

This time, Zong Ying was wrong about Zong Ze's back. Anyone who knows a little about the history of the Song Dynasty or has read "Shuo Yue" knows that this shows that Zong Ze will soon be born.

This is important news! Di Lie's mind was turning quickly and he recalled repeatedly. In history, after Zong Ze's death, how did the situation in Tokyo evolve? The specific things are not clear. But one thing is very clear - Tokyo is lost!

If Tokyo had not been lost, Zhao Gou, the Emperor Jianyan, would not have been chased by Wu Shu, who had no worries, and would have been killed in heaven and into the sea, almost losing his life. The fate of the Southern Song Dynasty was a hundred years ahead of schedule.

Thinking of this festival, Di Lie could not sit still. It doesn’t matter whether the Tokyo City is lost or not. He didn’t have time to pay attention to the matter of Zhao Jiu and the Jin people. However, Tokyo’s huge population and materials, as well as the former Hebei rebels who could turn from officers and soldiers into robbers at any time... These are all important resources to enrich the strength of Tianshu City and ensure the future of arguing with the Jin Kingdom!

Zong Ying said that there are millions of soldiers and civilians in Tokyo. Judging from the feedback from the Second Intelligence Department, it may be a little exaggerated, but there are six or seven hundred thousand. If nearly one hundred thousand soldiers with certain combat experience and hundreds of thousands of people can be moved to Taiyuan Prefecture and enrich Hedong, the strength of Tianshu City will definitely rise to a higher level.

The same thing is true, as long as there are people, there will be everything.

The most important thing is that the huge amount of manpower and materials that had been working hard for Zong Ze for a whole year would fall apart at any time due to Zong Ze's passing. A huge force that could leverage the cornerstone of the Jin Dynasty's rule disappeared in this way. It was so heartbreaking and unwilling.

And now, he has the last chance to pick this peach that may be ripe and rotten at any time before the Tokyo collapses - this time, he must go! It is also very worth it!

"There is no need to fight." Di Lie raised his hand to stop Chen Gui and Zhang Jiao from asking for permission, and smiled slightly at Zong Ying, "Zong Xianggong is the person Di respects the most in this era. Since there is such a good opportunity, how can he not go to see him?"

Chen and Zhang had to say something, but they were stopped by Di Lie again: "I, the city lord, have done almost the work, but your work is piled up like a mountain, of course I will go. Moreover, there are chaos in the army, and it is more suitable for soldiers to go on missions than literati."

In Di Lie's opinion, such an unknown danger, would make Yang Zaixing or Ling far away be more suitable than Chen Gui and Zhang Jiao. Unfortunately, in the Song Dynasty, military generals' missions were an insult to the top civil officials like Zong Ze, and they were completely unacceptable.

Seeing that he could no longer dissuade him, Chen and Zhang had to settle for the second best: "It's okay to go to the city lord, but you must bring enough guards."

Di Lie smiled at Gu Zongying and said, "When they arrived at our territory, they only brought only thirty people. Why should I bring more people? Just a team of people."

Chen Gui was very anxious: "No, there are too few teams..."

Zhang Jiao pulled Chen Gui's sleeve and pointed to the east. Chen Gui was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Jiao with a determined look on his face, and then looked at the city lord who smiled and nodded. There was a look of enlightenment on his face.

Di Lie smiled casually: "That's all, let me arrange military and political affairs properly, and choose a date to travel east with your envoy!" (To be continued.
