Chapter 365 Zhe Yuqing and Zhe Keshi
Song Dynasty, the second year of Xuanhe
The Liao-Jin War was coming to an end. Even with the support of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom had already become corrupt due to the long period of peace, and Emperor Tianzuo of Liao was still fighting the enemy on the front line.
In the Song Dynasty, the emperor passed away and a young ruler ascended the throne. In order to guard against the Liao and Jin dynasties, the various western armies were stationed in Dongjing City at different times.
This time, the Zhong, Yao and Zhe families happened to gather together.
Zhe Keqiu couldn't believe it. What did Guangmu mean?
He surrendered to the Jin people?
Poisoned by the Jin people?
He still wants to be emperor?
How can this be? how could it be possible!
"My Zhe family has been loyal to the country for generations, and we have no second thoughts!"
Everyone present nodded in agreement with Zhe Keqiu's words.
Even if you guys in the Western Army don't like me on a normal day, when it comes to the country and loyalty and face, we'll still help if we can.
Zhe Keqiu's sons Zhe Yanwen and Zhe Yanzhi spoke out for their father.
Yao Pingzhong was watching the show from the sidelines, and even gloated over it. He said to his uncle Yao Gu: "The Zhe family... is just like this. They would rather die for their country than surrender to the Jin people!"
Yao Gu nodded randomly, but in fact he was always a little uneasy about what his nephew said.
His Yao family is full of loyal heroes, right? Nothing will happen to them, right?
[In 995 AD, the first year of Emperor Taizong of Song's reign. In the Battle of Zihecha, Han Dewei, a great general of the Liao Kingdom, was badly defeated by Zhe Yuqing, the son of Zhe Dejian. Five thousand Liao soldiers were beheaded by Zhe's army, more than twenty generals were killed, and thousands of horses were lost.
Later, Han Dewei took advantage of Zhe Yuqing's serious illness and led his troops again to avenge the loss of Zihe Branch. Zhe Yuqing went into battle despite his illness.
His mother wanted him to go home, but Zhe Yuqing stayed at the front line and would rather die than return.
The words left for his mother also became his last words.
"My family has received the grace of the country for generations, but the enemy has not been defeated. It is your fault. Now facing the enemy, how can you abandon the soldiers for your own convenience? Dying in the army is their fate. For Madam Bai, please don't think of me. How can you be both loyal and filial?"
He later died of illness in the army at the age of 38.
＜In fact, the second year after Zhe Yuqing's death, Han Dewei also died. It seems that he really can't swallow this breath hahaha, there is no chance to redeem himself.＞
＜Zhe Dejian, Zhe Yuqing and Zhe Yuxun all had short lives, alas. But their family really played an important role in the 200 years of the Northern Song Dynasty.＞
＜Han Dewei has no idea what is going on. He doesn't even think about why the Zhe family of Fuzhou has been able to stay in the northwest for such a long time. Do they really think it is so easy to defeat them?＞
＜It is indeed difficult for Zhe Yuqing to be both loyal and filial.＞
＜Alas, dragging my sick body to fight, the words I left for my mother have become my last words. [Sigh]＞
[Song Kaibao three years of the imperial examination: younger brother! ! ! ]
[Zhe Yuqing in the third year of Song Kaibao: How long will our family live?]
[Han Dewei, the second year of Liao Baoning: Humph! You are just a Zhe family! Just wait! I will defeat you sooner or later!]
[Zhe Yuqing in the third year of Song Kaibao:? A defeated general... and yet you dare to speak so arrogantly... I really don't know where you get your confidence from...]
……
Song Dynasty, Kaibao Year 3
Zhao Kuangyin said coldly: "Bring Zhao Guangyi to me."
Humph, you don’t even cherish such a talent!
"Is there no one else in the Northwest? You just let others go into battle while they are sick!"
"You are a piece of trash who can't defeat the Liao army!"
"Hurry up and bring Zhao Guangyi to me!!!"
Zhao Guangyi originally thought that he would be fine, but then... the eunuch suddenly appeared.
"What... do you want to do?"
"Humph, you are a sinner. Fortunately, the government is kind enough not to kill you. Keep your mouth shut!"
Zhao Guangyi: “…”
What a good life! Being his punching bag? His vent?
Several eunuchs urged the lame Zhao Guangyi to walk faster.
...
Northwestern Prefectures
Zhe Yuxun was much older than Zhe Yuqing and treated Zhe Yuqing as both a younger brother and a son.
In addition, his father died early, so Zhe Yuxun consciously assumed the role of an elder brother who is like a father to him.
"Hey, why do you have to be so strong?"
Facing his brother's words, Zhe Yuqing didn't care at all and asked him, "If it was you, what would you do? Would you really listen to your mother and abandon the soldiers who fought on the battlefield with you and quietly go home to be a coward?!"
Zhe Yuxun: “…”
"Ugh."
So how come Zhe Keqiu appeared after the Zhe family?
Does he really have a secret? Is there any reason that forced him to surrender?
……
[The only person in the Zhe family who had a biography written about him was Zhe Keshi, the sixth-generation grandson of Zhe Congruan. He was the last famous general of the Zhe family in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the only famous general who was not a successor to a prefecture or state and was recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Born into a family of generals, Zhe Keshi had made many military achievements, but he was still suppressed by the Northern Song Dynasty court, which valued culture over military power. Disagreements led to unsuccessful military operations. Zhe Keshi always took the blame and was repeatedly demoted.
Zhe Keshi was good at using unconventional strategies in war. In the sixth year of Yuanyou reign of Emperor Zhezong of Song Dynasty, the Western Xia people stationed troops at Weidinglang. Zhe Keshi led his men to sneak in, lured the soldiers on the beacon tower, and killed them one by one, making it impossible for the enemy's beacon tower to transmit signals.
Zhe Keshi led his troops to advance and defeated the enemy at Weidinglang.
Then they moved to Gaoling, attacked Hongde from a small road, set up an ambush to cut off the enemy's return route, and the Xixia army suffered heavy casualties.
However, he was good at fighting but not good at being an official. He guarded the border between Song and Xia all his life, but was no match for a single word from the literati in the court.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, he died of illness while serving as the commander-in-chief of Jingyuan at the age of 61.
The Zhe family also reached their final glory. 】
＜Zhe Keshi’s promotion has little to do with the Zhe family.＞
＜upCan you talk about Song Zhezong later? I am really looking forward to him. I really love Zhezong in the Northern Song Dynasty.＞
＜All the defeats during the reign of Emperor Shenzong were repeated during the reign of Emperor Zhezong.＞
＜Zhe Keshi was indeed the last famous general, because it was during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, alas.＞
＜The hundred years of the Zhe family were destroyed by Zhe Keqiu. [Sigh]＞
＜Some civil officials in the Song Dynasty are really annoying. They only know how to talk a lot. The people who really fight in the battlefield are the generals and soldiers! Can the right to lead troops to fight be returned to the generals? The military system of the Song Dynasty is too weird.＞
[Zhe Keshi, the fourth year of Song Xining: Eh? I’m here! I also appeared on the light screen!]
[Zhe Keqiu in the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty: What is going on...]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Song Huizong... the Jingkang Shame! I vaguely remember the events before and after the Jingkang Shame before the light curtain. The combat effectiveness of the Western Army is a bit... well, not very good.]
[Yao Pingzhong, the second year of Song Xuanhe: Your Majesty, please rest assured! We will definitely kill the Jin people.]
[Song Zhezong Zhao Xu: Guangmu, I actually want you to tell me more about my time.]
……
Song Dynasty, Xining 4th year
"Why don't I remember there is such a person in the Zhe family?"
Zhao Xu didn't think that he had a bad memory. There must be other reasons for Zhe Keshi, combined with the fact that he did not follow the Zhe family's path.
Guess: "Could it be because of a disagreement? Was he wronged?"
The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems.
Guo Kui, the commander of Fuyan, did know Zhe Keshi well. "Before he came of age, he was already a man of deep wisdom and strategy, quick in decision-making, proficient in poetry, medicine, divination, and extremely good at riding and shooting."
"Well, then..." Zhao Xu added in his heart that he is capable of taking on the heavy responsibility.
But he was afraid that he was too young, "Let him go to your place to gain some experience first."
"Yes."
...
Zhe Keshi had no idea that he was remembered by the government and was still excited about appearing on the screen.
"I will be a high-ranking official in the future! Commander-in-Chief Jingyuan, you are so awesome!"
