"This achievement reward: Han Xin's Art of War, do you understand?”
After announcing Zhao Kai's achievement of strengthening the country through reform, the system's achievement reward followed closely, causing Zhao Kai's heart to skip a beat.
The reward this time was something!
Han Xin's Art of War Quintessence was the inheritance of the Army Immortal Han Xin's art of war. It contained Han Xin's methods of training and using troops.
This was something that countless emperors and generals after the Han Dynasty yearned for but could not obtain!
The strength of Han Xin's art of war could be seen from his title as an Immortal Soldier and the saying that the more soldiers he had, the better.
In the open, he built a boardwalk and secretly attacked Chencang. He fought with his back against the water and attacked Zhao Miedai. He flooded the seven armies and defeated the Chu general Long and 200,000 Chu troops. Finally, he was besieged on all sides and surrounded Xiang Yu.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, only Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu, could compete with Han Xin!
Xiang Yu was the representative of the military situation, and he had the courage to fight against ten thousand men. In the end, he was still defeated by Han Xin. In terms of military strategy, Han Xin was undoubtedly better than the Overlord.
Furthermore, Han Xin's method of training soldiers was unparalleled. To defeat Xiang Yu and the other dukes, Han Xin had only used new soldiers and did not have his own team.
Every time the new recruits gained some experience in battle, Liu Bang would snatch it away and give it to Xiang Yu, twice!
Just like that, Han Xin still managed to surround Xiang Yu at Gaixia.
This kind of training method was simply terrifying!
It could even be said that there was no upper limit to Han Xin's art of war!
It was because of this that Empress Liu Bang was wary of Han Xin. In the end, not only was Han Xin killed, but even his military book inheritance was destroyed!
At this moment, the lost art of war of the Divine Soldier Han Xin was right in front of Zhao Kai!
"Comprehension!"
Following Zhao Kai's command, a huge stream of information instantly appeared in Zhao Kai's mind. It was Han Xin's lifelong experience in military strategy!
Zhao Kai smiled in satisfaction. Now that he had obtained Han Xin's Art of War, it was like someone had given him a pillow when he was sleepy.
He was preparing for the northern expedition to recover the lost land. He could use Han Xin's training method to train the Red Flame Army and the twenty thousand soldiers in Bianliang City, as well as the troops that would come to Bianliang later!
Therefore, Zhao Kai did not even return to the palace. After leaving the preparation of grain and materials to Li Gang, who had returned from cleaning up the battlefield, he immediately went to the drill ground and began to recruit soldiers!
During this period, the news of Zhao Kai defeating the 60,000 Jin army and the imperial edict ordering all the troops to head to Bianliang to prepare for the northern expedition also began to spread out with the cavalry sent by Bianliang.
Five hundred miles east of Bianliang, an army of twenty thousand soldiers was marching towards Bianliang.
The commander of this army was a 60-year-old man, the Hai Province Zhizhou of the Great Song, Zhang Shuye.
"Quick, speed up!"
Zhang Shuye coughed on the bumpy horse as he urged his soldiers anxiously.
In fact, these twenty thousand soldiers and Zhang Shuye himself looked like a tired army. They were ordered to help the king, but they encountered a side division of the Jin army in Qingzhou. They fought a bloody battle with a few groups of the Jin army's cavalry, and they were delayed for a long time.
Even Zhang Shuye himself was hit by an arrow!
The reason why Zhang Shuye was so anxious to march despite being injured was because he knew the temperament of Zhao Huan, Geng Nanzhong, and the other officials. If they could not arrive at Bianliang in time to rescue them, those cowardly officials would definitely surrender to the Jin army!
If that happened, Great Song would be finished!
At this moment, a scout with a red flag approached Zhang Shuye from afar. Looking at the fatigued army, the scout smiled and said,""Zhang Zhizhou, there's no need to be anxious. The siege of Bianliang has been resolved!
His Majesty led 3,000 cavalry to attack the Jin camp at night and killed 30,000 of the Jin army. Wanyan Zongwang fled in defeat with arrows!”
This sentence immediately caused Zhang Shuye's mind to explode and he was stunned!
He even suspected that he had misheard!
He knew Zhao Huan's personality. When he was the Crown Prince, he was mediocre and weak. Calling him an idiot was already praising him. Zhang Shuye was originally somewhat helpless when such a person became the Emperor.
If he had not been released as Zhizhou, he would have opposed Retired Emperor Zhao Ji to let Zhao Huan succeed the throne.
This was because Zhang Shuye had always been leaning towards the Sage King Zhao Kai!
In Zhang Shuye's opinion, it was already not easy for an idiot like Zhao Huan to hold Bianliang and not surrender. Even if Zhao Huan had ten guts, he would not dare to leave the city, let alone attack the Jin camp at night with only 3,000 cavalry and kill 30,000 Jin soldiers!
Therefore, Zhang Shuye, who did not know that the Emperor had been replaced, did not believe the scout's report.
"Where did this spy come from?”
Zhang Shuye frowned. He thought that the scout was a spy of the Jin army who had spread false news and was about to give the order to arrest him.
The scout knew what Zhang Shuye was thinking and quickly smiled.""Lord Zhang, you've misunderstood. The Emperor I'm talking about isn't the fatuous ruler Zhao Huan, but Yun Wang!
The fatuous ruler Zhao Huan wanted to negotiate peace with the Jin people and ceded land to pay compensation to send women. He had been killed by the king of Yun in the palace.
The current Emperor was the previous Yun King!
The victory at Bianliang is also the credit of our new Emperor!”
As he spoke, the scout took out an imperial edict. It was written by Li Ruoshui under Zhao Kai's orders, and it was stamped with a bright red imperial seal.
Zhang Shuye took the edict. After reading the contents, his furrowed brows slowly relaxed. He finally believed it!
However, after understanding the whole story, his face was filled with shock and joy.
He was delighted at Zhao Kai's prompt decision to save the building. He was shocked at Zhao Kai's divine might, leading the Bianliang soldiers and civilians to defeat the Jin army!
Zhang Shuye felt that he had indeed not misjudged the person. The virtuous king back then was indeed a wise ruler who could take on great responsibilities!
As for the fatuous ruler Zhao Huan who was killed by Zhao Kai, he was forcefully ignored by Zhang Shuye.
It was not that Zhang Shuye was also a treasonous person. In fact, from the fact that Zhang Shuye did his best to help Bianliang, he was a very loyal person.
However, Zhang Shuye knew what was more important and he had a sense of righteousness in his heart. He was not pedantic.
Compared to the safety of the Great Song and its people, the death of a fatuous ruler, Zhao Huan, was nothing!
Zhao Huan was dead, but Great Song welcomed a wise ruler!
No matter how one looked at it, it was a blessing for the people of Great Song!
"The army will rest for a while and then follow me to Bianliang to meet the emperor!”
Zhang Shuye let out a sigh of relief and gave the order. His eyes were filled with hope!
He even wished he could go to Bianliang right now to meet the new emperor, Zhao Kai, and follow Zhao Kai to the north to recover the lost land!
At the same time, the rest of the troops also received the news.
Zhong Shidao, the commander of the Western Army, Zong Ze, the Xiangzhou Zhizhou, and other loyal officials had similar reactions to Zhang Shuye. They were shocked, but also relieved. They sped up and rushed to Bianliang.
As the scouts spread the news along the way, it continued to spread to the various provinces of the Song Dynasty.
The entire world was shocked!
