Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 80

A month later, Qiu Zhiqing's saber was brought back by a servant with a group of soldiers.

Holding this sword, according to the introduction of the little servant, it was made by the most outstanding master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, based on the original foundation of Qiu Zhiqing's long sword, mixed with the essence of hardware and a small piece of meteoric iron Bao Jian returned to his room.

The material of the scabbard has not changed much, it is still made of peach wood as a whole, but on the whole, there are six more lotus flowers with six petals, which are beautiful but simple and grand.

The weight has also changed significantly. When I weigh it with my hand, it weighs about nine catties, which is more than five catties heavier than before, and the long sword still feels a little alienated from myself.

This time he knew very clearly that it was not an illusion. Although the long sword was not a precious sword, it had been nourished by him with true temperature for more than ten years. Although it was said to be recast on the original basis, it was not the original after all. That's it...

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, with the long sword crossing his knees, he stroked the familiar peach wood scabbard. His right hand was like a sword finger, and when he gently brushed from the lower end of the scabbard to the lotus-shaped lattice, he breathed out his true energy, and the blade of the long sword Skip a section.

In an instant, the cold moon shone through, and the afternoon sun was dimmed a bit.Qiu Zhiqing pressed the long sword back into the scabbard, and the faintly glowing two words also dimmed as the sword was sheathed.

The warm spring sun that seemed to be dispelled just now occupied his room again.The sword is a good sword. The sword is three feet and three inches long, lined with six petals and six lotuses, and weighs nine catties and nine taels!
Three and three are endless, six and six are endless, and nine and nine are one!

It can be seen that the master craftsman who helped him forge the sword is also a wonderful person, but unfortunately the cold light is too strong, but the word "Autumn White" on this sword should be the name of the sword, but I don't remember giving it a name name.

This name is quite suitable for this sword. I vaguely remember that the first wine I drank in this world was called "Qiubai".

Both "autumn" and "white" belong to "gold"! "Shuowen Jiezi" has a saying: "The golden man, buried for a long time, will not produce clothes, it will not be taken lightly after a hundred trials, and it will not be violated from the leather."That is, no rust, no scale loss, no deformation!Qiubai and Qiubai are really good names!

Ten years of sharpening a sword, Frostblade has never tried!
However, the sword edge was too strong, so Qiu Zhiqing was a little displeased. He asked the priest of Wuweizi for some needles, thread and rags, and made a tailor-made sword bag for him, and then started his journey of raising swords again. Use your own true energy to wash and refine...

Seize it, close its door, frustrate its sharpness, untie its confusion, harmonize its light and its dust, it is called Xuantong...

There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and the cold is so cold that I don’t know the year!
At the beginning of April in the first year of Duanping, the army marched out, and Qiu Zhiqing, a Taoist priest, was naturally very conspicuous in the army. This time the army went out, Zhao Yun can be said to have spent a lot of money.

From the 12 forbidden troops, [-] troops were dispatched to Meng Gong. He added Meng Gong as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Those who give orders can release their military power and escort them to Lin'an!
Even Qiu Zhiqing, a rookie like Qiu Zhiqing, found these titles inconceivable. You must know that when they first met, Meng Gong was just a yamen, and he got an official position because of his military exploits.

That time he went to Xiangyang to receive a reward and went to see his immediate boss, Zhao Fang.When he went down the mountain for the second time, he just took over his father's squad and took over his father's [-] loyal army, stationed in Zaoyang.

He didn't even get his father's official position in Zaoyang Mansion.

According to Qiu Zhiqing's thinking, he is probably equivalent to a division commander. Unexpectedly, in less than three years, when I met him in Lin'an, he was promoted all the way to the guard Ma Jun Xingsi.

From Qiu Zhiqing's point of view, he was the one who commanded one-third of Lin'an's troops, and after meeting Zhao Yun a few days later, he was promoted to be the deputy privy envoy?He became the coach who regained Sanjing, he is the protagonist, right?
For this reason, it is said that Li Quan was destroyed, and the Zhao brothers who rebelled against Yangzhou were quite critical, not to mention Huaixi Quan Zicai, who was older than Meng Gong, and a group of officials in Beijing who did not support the Northern Expedition. It's time to cool down...

During the march, Meng Gong also told Qiu Zhiqing that even Zhen Dexiu, who had always been the main battle, Shi Songzhi, who presided over the extermination of gold, and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council... and a group of main combatants did not support going north to recover the three capitals action.

This made Qiu Zhiqing smack his tongue, he found out that this little brother named Zhao Yun is really a big hitter!Facing Qiu Zhiqing's expression of "Aren't we delivering food this trip?"

Meng Gong lightly kicked the horse's belly to keep the horse moving forward at a constant speed, and then explained the truth: After the investigation of the Imperial City Division, the population of Henan has been reduced to one out of ten, but it is not without strategic value.

The Guanhe defense line carefully built by the Kingdom of Jin is still there. If we overcome many difficulties, within two years, Henan will surely regain its vitality. At that time, we will have room for maneuver no matter whether it is the harvest or the Northern Expedition!

It is rare that the officials did not think about making peace this time, and they have already coordinated the new Sichuan Zhizhi envoy Chen Wei and the Beijing West and Hubei Zhizhi deputy envoys Shi Songzhi to send troops to store grain together.

In addition, Qiu Zhiqing took all the high-ranking Mongolian generals together, leaving only Zhang Jin to escape, and the food and grass were also burned. According to the report of the Imperial City Secretary, Zhang Jin had already retreated to the north of the Yellow River, and most of the people who stayed in Henan were generals of the Kingdom of Jin.

After listening to Meng Gong's professional explanation all morning, Qiu Zhiqing finally felt relieved when he set up camp. He didn't remember whether there was such an operation in history. If he was deceived by his own news, wouldn't it be a big crime?
What Qiu Zhiqing didn't know was that there was such an operation in history to recover the three capitals, and in the end, [-] soldiers were lost due to lack of food and retreated in embarrassment.

Shi Songzhi, the Deputy Envoy of Beijing West and Hubei that Meng Gong mentioned, did not even send a grain of rice to the front line. Before that, he sent 30 stones of grain and grass to the Mongolian army with a big wave of his hand, and then sent it to his own army. When the food was delivered, it was procrastinated, and not a single grain was sent to the front line.

But as far as Meng Gong said, he is Shi Miyuan's nephew. When they first met in Xiangyang, they had just passed the Jinshi examination and entered the official career.

Such a comparison, it seems that Meng Gong's promotion is not too fast. After all, this guy boasted that he grew up in a military camp and went to battle with his father to kill the enemy when he was in his teens. The title of envoy, the kind of false title...

I don't know how Qiu Zhiqing would feel after knowing the historical truth, but now he doesn't have any feelings. After learning that he might go to the battlefield, Qiu Zhiqing is stepping up his horseback riding and archery practice.

After nearly ten days of marching by land and water, they finally arrived in Luzhou, Jiangbei. Only then did Qiu Zhiqing know that in the previous two months, Meng Gong and Zhao Yun were not just in Lin'an to rectify their troops.

At the same time, it is also transporting food and military equipment to Xiangyang, Luzhou, and Gwangju, as well as some artisans accompanying the army.Why are there craftsmen?Qiu Zhiqing didn't know, and Meng Gong didn't tell him either.

However, when their main force was stationed in Luzhou, Chen Wei, the Sichuan governor who had just taken office, encountered a big trouble. The line of defense was once again attacked by the Mongols.

On the other side of Xiangyang, Shi Songzhi got two pieces of news at the same time, one was a reward, and he was awarded the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.Compared with the news of the official promotion, the other news is not so good.

The important members left behind by his uncle Shi Miyuan: Li Zhixiao, Liang Chengda, and Mo Ze were successively accused of poisoning the king, treason and other crimes by the officials, and were sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice by Song Ci, a disciple of Zhen Dexiu. .

The three of them were ransacked and exiled, and their total assets were confiscated over 9000 million yuan, almost catching up with the annual financial revenue of the Southern Song court.

Even if there are funds for the restoration of Henan people's livelihood in the future, Shi Songzhi, who was still a little cautious, extinguished the small flame in his heart instantly after receiving these two news at the same time.

He knew that once the three of them left, his uncle's so-called "Historical Party" had survived in name only, and the officials named him Minister of the Ministry of War, and he would continue to serve as Deputy Envoy of Western Beijing and Hubei Zhizhi.

It is not only a recognition of his ability, but also a reward for fully supporting the operation to recover the three capitals and paying in advance.

Now that he has no protection from his party members, and his political opponents are powerful, if he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of those guys, he can only obey His Majesty's orders obediently, and work hard to improve his status.

It has to be said that Zhao Yun used the Taoist theory that Qiu Zhiqing discussed with him more than ten years ago in the palace. , Four images produce gossip...

At that time, Qiu Zhiqing himself knew only half of it, and he was still attending classes with Cuixuzi. Who knows what kind of emperor's art Zhao Yun had realized?
After resting for three days, the army began to march northward. Seven days later, the army crossed the Huaihe River one after another and continued northward. However, Qiu Zhiqing was told that he would follow Guo Jing and lead the five thousand cavalry that Meng Gong allocated to Guo Jing's command to act alone.

While Qiu Zhiqing was secretly surprised, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had learned his lesson before, practiced riding skills, and practiced hard these days, otherwise the consequences...

Think about the scene where everyone is riding a horse and galloping with ease...
