I will never be Renzong

Chapter 61

"Hey!"

Just as Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and waited for death to come, a loud shout sounded.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly opened his eyes and saw an armored soldier appearing in front of him with lightning speed. He then took a stance and punched Lie Ma in the neck with enough strength.

"hiss!"

Lie Ma let out an unwilling growl, and then fell heavily to the ground, only breathing out, not in.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help being stunned, thinking: Good guy!It's so fierce, knocking down a runaway horse with one punch, this is the king of Western Chu alive!

Who is this guy?
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but admire the young soldier in front of him who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Little man Di Qing! The escort came late, and I hope the officials will forgive me!"

After the young general subdued the fierce horse, he hurriedly turned around and knelt down on one knee to pay homage to Zhao Zhen.

"I wonder how old this soldier is?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly asked curiously.

"The villain is seventeen years old!"

"and many more!"

"You said your name was Di Qing just now?"

Zhao Zhen asked in disbelief.

"Villain Di Qing, in front of the palace, the cavalry of the imperial horse directly pays a visit to the official family!"

Di Qing Kongwu's powerful voice sounded again.

Di Qing, courtesy name Hanchen, was born in the first year of Xiangfu, Dazhong, Northern Song Dynasty, in 17 AD, at the age of [-].A native of Xihe, Fenzhou (now Fenyang, Shanxi).He was born in a poor family. When he was [-] years old, his elder brother got into a fight with others. He was raped on behalf of his elder brother and was assassinated to serve in the army. In the words of the time, he was "the cheapest of the lowliest" in the army.According to the usual practice, he was selected into the capital and incorporated into the Forbidden Army.Because he was good at riding and shooting, he was selected as a cavalry soldier of Yumazhi, and Zhao Zhen wanted to watch the cavalry drill on a whim today, and Di Qing, who is a superb cavalry, was naturally on the list.

When he confirmed that the young soldier in front of him was Di Qing, the famous Song martial arts star in later generations, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that it was worthwhile to get such a strong general in exchange for a near-miss scare.

"Get up! You are really a tiger's pawn. If everyone in my Da Song Erlang is as powerful as you, why worry about the world being injustice and the world being uneasy!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but praise.

"Thank you, official!"

Di Qing saluted before getting up.

At this time, Zhao Zhen began to look at Di Qing carefully. Di Qing is about 1.8 meters tall and has a slender figure. However, he is different from the rough appearance of general generals. He has a handsome face. If it is now, it is enough The handsome guy who killed thousands of girls in seconds, just because of a previous mistake, he has an official tattoo on his face.

In the early years of Baoyuan (1038), Li Yuanhao launched a rebellion, and the imperial court issued an edict appointing Di Qing as the Third Class Envoy, Palace Attendant and Yanzhou Commander to fight in the border areas.At that time, the generals on the front line were defeated by Xixia many times, and most of the soldiers were timid. Di Qing often served as the vanguard himself when marching and fighting.During the four years of fighting, he fought in 25 battles, and was hit by arrows as many as eight times.

Captured Jintang City, captured Youzhou, massacred the tribes of Yubaa, Suixiang, Maonu, Shangluo, Qingqi, Jiakou, etc., burned tens of thousands of grains stored in Xixia, confiscated 700 tents, and captured [-] people people.Qiaozigu City was also built, and castles such as Zhao'an, Fenglin, Xinzhai, and Dalang were built. These castles were all built in the enemy's key places.

In the battle of Anyuan, he was seriously injured, but when he heard that the Xixia army had arrived, he stood up and rushed to it, and the soldiers rushed to fight hard.When fighting against the enemy, he wore disheveled hair and a copper mask. When he entered and left the enemy army, the Xixia army was invincible, and no one dared to stop him. He was called "General Mian Nie!"

Of course, Di Qing's truly brilliant battle was the Rebellion of Ping Nong and Zhi Gao in the south. The south is mountainous and not good at cavalry combat.

During the Lantern Festival in the fifth year of Emperor You's reign, Di Qing attacked Kunlun Pass at night, and it was unbelievable that Nong Zhigao was not seriously ill to guard such a grand pass, so that the biggest difficulty Di Qing faced was that the winding and rugged mountain roads were not very good Walk.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Di Qing directed his troops towards Yongzhou, and had an extremely thrilling and fierce encounter with Nong Zhigao at a place called Guirenpu.

Although Nong Zhigao commanded a group of mobs, the fighting power of this group of mobs was actually quite powerful. They fought in formations, beating me with light soldiers, and domineering. At the beginning of the battle, the soldiers controlled by Nong Zhigao had the upper hand. The javelin shield, dressed in bright red crimson clothes, looks like a blazing flame from a distance, making officials dizzy and causing countless deaths and injuries.

At the critical moment, Di Qing, holding a white flag in his hand, personally led the cavalry to raid the rear of the enemy's formation, galloping repeatedly from left to right, completely disrupting the opponent's formation, and scurrying around like headless chickens. The officers and soldiers took the opportunity to defeat the enemy , took advantage of the victory to pursue for fifty miles, and gained countless gains.

As a result, Di Qing was promoted to a noble rank, and even became a privy envoy.

However, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms' vassals and towns segregated, and the military generals' chaos in power left an indelible psychological shadow on the Song Dynasty. Coupled with the influence of the Song Dynasty's policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military affairs, Di Qing, who was born in poverty, became a thing in the hearts of civil servants. Go for the thorn.

As a result, all kinds of criticisms came one after another, such as being too handsome, too famous, and looking like an emperor, etc. Messages spread everywhere, and even the Liuta River's embankment burst, they tried to blame Di Qing as much as possible.

As the saying goes, when you open your mouth to refute rumors, you run all over the place. Di Qing, who is cautious and reticent, is also troubled by this, and even signed a letter of resignation, but the civil servants still refused to let him go.

For the sake of the country and the country of the Song Dynasty, the officials kept talking nonsense in a serious manner, thinking that Di Qing should be released, which was beneficial to both himself and the country.

As the saying goes, people's words are terrifying, and their tongues and arrows are hard to guard against, not to mention a group of neurotic paranoiacs, and Song Renzong Zhao Zhen is a soft-hearted king, and he is very suspicious, so in the third year of Zhihe, Di Qing was arrested. Chenzhou was released as an official, and finally died in depression at the age of only 50.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to be loyal to a generation of martial arts under the leadership of Pingnan.

Thinking of Di Qing's bright and upright life, and the final dismal ending, Zhao Zhen also sighed. Fortunately, he is no longer the skeptical Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong in history. He believes that under his wise leadership, Di Qing, the once-in-a-century gem The star of Wuqu will rise slowly, illuminating the thousands of miles of the Great Song Empire.

On the first day of October in the first year of Tiansheng, Di Qing, who was only 17 years old, was awarded the commander of the Si Xiao Cavalry Army in front of the temple by Zhao Zhen for his meritorious service. general.

Di Qing is good at training cavalry and fighting with cavalry, so promoting Di Qing to Si Xiao cavalry in front of the temple is only the first step. Training a cavalry capable of recruiting and fighting is Zhao Zhen's ultimate goal.

Firework Ruoshang: This chapter makes up for yesterday!

Some of the plots in this book, as well as the ages of civil servants, generals, and concubines, follow the official history. I also try to avoid too ridiculous plots. The Empress Dowager Liu E is usually called me, and there is no official history of the name Aijia. Appeared in literary works, of course this book is also a literary work, and I quite like this title, so book fans and friends should not take this matter seriously.
