Before he finished speaking, Kang Chengxun turned around, but said in surprise: "General Yao, it turns out it's you."

The man in costume heard him speak, looked up and smiled, "It turned out to be General Kang. He hadn't seen him for more than three years after he parted in Tokyo."

Kang Chengxun nodded and said, "I followed Your Majesty north to hunt that day. I heard that you ran hundreds of miles overnight, and then became a monk and did not care about the world. The last time Liu Guangshi caused chaos, it was your credit for being able to keep Lin'an. Why didn't you come to see Your Majesty by following the imperial edict? You came out today."

They had already heard the young guards around Zhao Huan. Although they were young, their sons were from the family of military generals. Kang Chengxun and the man in costume answered the other party. It was obviously Yao Pingzhong, the general of the Song army who guarded Tokyo and attacked the Jin army at night. His qualifications and prestige were only under the command of the Western Army, Zhong Shidao, and he was the leader of all the generals. After a few years, the veteran generals were scattered. After Lin'an's proposal to pacify Liu Guangshi, this person became famous again, but he taught these sons how not to know.

Hearing that it was him, everyone stopped driving him away, but just stepped aside with respect.

Yao Pingzhong didn't care about them, but he was wondering why the emperor seemed to have no idea of ​​him when he saw him. While answering Kang Chengxun and looking at Zhao Huan, he was obviously the emperor himself, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Zhao Huan also knew something was wrong at this time. Yao Pingzhong was not as good as Wu Jie and others. Even if he had seen him, he could say that he had forgotten his identity as an emperor. It was not surprising that he could not remember the middle and lower-level officers. However, Yao Pingzhong was the deputy commander of the Western Army to assist Tokyo in person. If the emperor did not know him, it would be a big joke.

After pondering for a moment, he still did not call Yao Pingzhong's name. He just frowned and asked again: "You just said someone can help me defend Chang'an, and let him come up and see him."

"Yes, I'll ask him to come up and see Your Majesty." Yao Pingzhong did not dare to neglect the matter of defending the city. He had to let go of this matter, turn around and go down the city.

Kang Chengxun knew that this matter was important. Seeing that Yao Pingzhong was slowly moving down the city road, he waved his hand quickly, and more than a dozen imperial guards rushed down, clamping him to speed up, and then rushed away.

After a while, a young man in white clothes, wearing a sword, followed closely behind Yao Pingzhong, surrounded by the imperial guards, and arrived in front of Zhao Huan.

This young man was tall, nearly two meters tall, although he was not short, he was still shorter beside him. When he got Zhao Huan, he knelt down to salute, but he still felt tall and strong. He secretly admired himself that if he had not been wearing a Confucian shirt, as long as he had changed into an imperial guard uniform, he would have looked like a mighty general.

Zhao Huan also felt this way. Only when the other party bowed and raised his head, he realized that although his body was tall, his face was very gentle and delicate. Coupled with the bookish spirit between his eyebrows, he made people feel that the other party was an absolute and well-read Confucian scholar.

This young man was Yu Yunwen. After saluting, he looked up and happened to Zhao Huan look at him. He smiled slightly, lowered his eyelids, and waited for the emperor to ask questions.

But at this moment, Zhao Huan saw the lights flashing in his eyes, as bright as the morning stars.

The other party is not, regardless of his demeanor, temperament, or even his demeanor and wisdom are far superior to ordinary people. Yu Yunwen is famous in history, and he saved the peaceful situation of the Southern Song Dynasty by one person and continued to preserve the everlasting situation. Zhao Huan naturally understood. But just when he saw this famous person who was famous in history with his wisdom and tricks, his first reaction was not joy, but an unexplained sense of oppression.

Yes, the other party is smarter. Even if it is his own, his knowledge of wisdom, strategy, and talent, he is not inferior to ordinary people. He still has more than a thousand years of history and various theories from ancient and modern times, and in his mind, he still feels the pressure brought by his unique and outstanding temperament when he sees the person in front of him.

Only geniuses can have such glory. Even though he is still ordinary Bai Ding, even though he is only in his early twenties, even if he kneels and the emperor stands, the awl will eventually break his pocket, and the genius will never be covered by his glory due to different changes in the current situation or status.

However, despite this, the other party's identity and status also determine that he can only be loyal to himself and loyal to this dynasty. His wisdom and plan can only be used by himself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel a little proud, and he showed a small smile on his face. He actually helped Yu Yunwen up with his own hands and said with a smile: "I have known everything about you in Lin'an the last time. At this point today, what good strategies can I teach me?"

Because he valued the other party's talent too much, Zhao Huan not only did not mention the fact that Yao and Yu did not obey the imperial edict, but also was very polite in his tone, which was far different from ordinary ministers.

Of course, this is also because the other party is still white, not because of his ministers in the court.

Although Yu Yunwen is far more intelligent than ordinary people, he is not experienced enough. After being moved by Zhao Huan, he was moved. He quickly stood up and followed the force in Zhao Huan's hand and murmured: "After leaving Lin'an, I went to inspect the situations of various routes in Beijing, Xihedong, and I have decided to come to Chang'an to serve Your Majesty. However, I am young and inexperienced, and I am not as good as Brother Yao. Therefore, after reporting my father, I planned to stay in Chang'an to register for this year's autumn examination. After gaining fame and reputation, I will serve Your Majesty again. However, I suddenly attacked. After I went through Lin'an, Yu Shoucheng had some experience. At this time, I did not care about being suspicious and had to take the initiative to recommend myself. If you are disrespectful, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

Zhao Huan was really comfortable with this statement. The other party explained why he refused to obey the imperial edict and was very humble and refused to accept his overly polite questions. Although he was young, his cunning response was far more cunning than ordinary people.

Following his words, he glared at Yao Pingzhong fiercely and said to him: "Yu Yunwen knows that this is the time when the country is employed. He is innocent and is young and dedicated to serving me. This is even more rare. But you, as a general of the country, don't mention the matter back then. The fault is with me, but there is no jail for the king and his subjects, don't you know!"

What he said about the ruler and the subject without jail is a famous Confucian saying, which means that there is no right or wrong between the ruler and the subject. Those who are subjects cannot resent the emperor and have no lawsuits to fight.

Yao Pingzhong made plans that year and did not use them for Zhao Huan. After the defeat, he was determined to escape from the world. The government and court repeatedly told him that he had just ignored them. After the Lin'an battle, the emperor personally issued an edict to summon him, but he still ignored them. Therefore, Zhao Huan used this name to scold him at this time.

After he finished speaking, Yao Pingzhong knew why the emperor ignored him just now. He hurriedly knelt down and replied in an extremely sincere tone: "I have been discouraged since the fall of Tokyo. This is not right. Your Majesty lie on firewood and tastes gall, and flees from the northern country thousands of miles away. When I learned that I was still suspicious, and it should not be unwilling to come to Your Majesty immediately to serve. After Lin'an, I intend to keep my body white and act cheaply, but I ignore Your Majesty at this time. I did not obey the order. I deserve to die. However, since Your Majesty insisted on fighting with Your Majesty and never serves a small country with the Supreme People's Republic of China, I respect Your Majesty very much and never blame Your Majesty for the grudge of the past. If Your Majesty does not believe it, I can make me clear about the justice and punish you without hatred."

After listening quietly, Zhao Huan finally nodded and said, "It is also a good idea to blame me when you were in the second year of Jingkang. Now that you are willing to come out and do things, it's better not to mention the past. Please step aside and let Yu Yunwen speak."

Ping Zhong and the emperor revealed the past and celebrated the festival, and saw with their own eyes that the emperor's behavior was indeed really different from the past. Every move and every move, the question and conversation were not as weak and cold as he was back then. He was calm and composed in his twenties, and the domineering and perseverance of the king. Compared with the past, he was completely different.

He felt very comfortable in his heart, knowing that today's decision was very correct, so he looked at Yu Yunwen quietly, waiting for the young talent whom he admired, and told the emperor about the battle link.

But Yu Yunwen said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty is unwilling to leave the strong city of the Great Wall and take refuge in the river. It is really wise. With the enemy's elite cavalry attacked, the soldiers led by the soldiers were all elite Jin Kingdom, and most of them were horses. If Your Majesty escaped, it would be difficult not to be chased by the opponent. With the enemy's bravery, the soldiers of the imperial guards fought against the enemy in a field, and it would be difficult to block the enemy's troops and protect His Majesty's safety."

He paused, thinking that Kang Chengxun and others smiled apologetically, and saw that although the imperial guards looked ugly, no one refuted it. He knew that although what he said was ugly, it was a fact that everyone agreed with.

Then he talked and said, "But Your Majesty did not expect that under the strong city, the enemy was not afraid of death, and used the ladders created by simple and hastily, besieged from all sides and attacked everywhere. In the end, the soldiers on the other side were brave and good at fighting. Chang'an was not as small as in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it was more than ten times smaller. The city was small and there were too few imperial guards in the city. They missed one another. Although they fought hard, they almost broke the city by the enemy as soon as they attacked."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "It's true that I underestimated the enemy too much. I just thought that the Jin people came from afar and were lightly cavalrying in the city. It was so urgent and difficult to get off, but I didn't expect it to be so vicious. It was really unimaginable if I didn't feel like it."

Yu Yunwen smiled slightly and said in a confident tone: "But the anger cannot be re-energized. As long as we defend it again, the enemy will never be able to attack the city again. From the battle this morning to noon, although we suffered heavy casualties, the enemy suffered greater losses. I see that they are not able to suppress the scene at this time. As long as there is no chance of being able to help, the enemy will have civil strife and there is no need to fight again. Just watch them retreat at the top of the city."

Zhao Huan naturally understood the links. He just heard him talk for a long time and did not mention how to defend the city. Therefore, he asked him anxiously: "However, the enemy is repairing, and the momentum is even more fierce. How can he defend him?"
