Chapter 157 Recited by the Whole Army (2-in-1)
"Jinsi, why are you here?" Zhao Ziyun was surprised to see Zhao Jinsi coming, and he immediately went to greet him.
But his eyes couldn't help but fall on Wei Yi next to Zhao Jinsi.
After all, Wei Yi's current appearance and temperament are so extraordinary.
He is the kind of person who becomes the center of attention wherever he goes.
Not only Zhao Ziyun, but also the eyes of other generals in the room could not help but focus from Zhao Jinsi to Wei Yi, looking at him with some curiosity.
"I'm here to do my part!" Zhao Jinsi said with a smile. Zhao Jinsi was naturally very happy to see her brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Brother, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Wei. I have mentioned it to you in my letter." "
I have met the crown prince!" Wei Yi bowed.
"Young Master Wei, there is no need to be polite!" Zhao Ziyun said with a smile, but immediately asked: "Jinsi, do you have any business with me when you come here?" "
Well, brother, can we talk alone?" Zhao Jinsi's His expression became serious.
Zhao Ziyun nodded and immediately signaled the other generals to leave first.
After the others left, Zhao Jinsi said again: "Brother, I may need to introduce Mr. Wei to you again."
Zhao Jinsi told Zhao Ziyun what happened in Qingzhou City during this period.
Hearing Zhao Jinsi's words, Zhao Ziyun was naturally shocked, and his eyes looking at Wei Yi were already full of awe.
Especially when I heard that Wei Yi single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of Yunding Hou's troops yesterday, I was really surprised and happy.
It seems that he also understood why Zhao Jinsi brought Wei Yi here today.
However, Zhao Jinsi only gave a general description, but did not explain the specific details, such as how Wei Yi got rid of the monks of the Tianren Sect and what method he used to repel the Yundinghou army.
"Young Master Wei, please accept the courtesy of Zhao. Thank you for saving the people of Qingzhou City and saving my Zhao family from danger!" Zhao Ziyun bowed and said gratefully, with an extremely sincere attitude.
"General, you're welcome. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. However, with great ability comes greater responsibility. Wei just did what he should do!" Wei Yi said modestly.
However, Wei Yi's words made Zhao Ziyun admire him even more, and he immediately bowed deeply: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Zhao has learned the lesson. Mr. Wei's remarks, You should be worshiped by Zhao more!"
"General, tell me about the current battle situation!" Wei Yi stopped talking and asked Zhao Ziyun about the current battle situation and enemy situation.
Zhao Ziyun also introduced it in detail.
The invaders this time are the Xilan Kingdom and the Human Kingdom. The two countries currently have a total of 500,000 troops, but this is not their entire strength.
There are currently about 100,000 troops stationed here in Yuxiong Pass.
In fact, a hundred thousand troops can completely stop the enemy with the help of the natural pass of Yuxiong Pass.
Moreover, due to terrain restrictions, the other side could not swarm an army of half a million people at once and rely on numerical suppression to destroy the city in an instant.
Each time the two sides can actually have a head-to-head confrontation, the number of people is no more than 10,000.
Therefore, this war is a protracted war. Through constant attrition, one side cannot survive and eventually retreats.
Normally speaking, in terms of consumption, the Great Yan Dynasty is completely worthy.
Otherwise, Yuxiong Pass would have been breached by the Western countries long ago.
However, it is obvious that there are traitors in the imperial court who are obstructing this.
The Yundinghou army that originally came for reinforcements suddenly mutinied, cutting off the food and grass shipped from the south, and almost caused a fire in the backyard of their home.
And the subsequent reinforcements and material supplies may cause trouble.
So if this consumption continues, they may really not be able to survive.
"The intention of the Heavenly Man Sect could not be more obvious. Although they will not really allow the Xilan Kingdom and the Human Kingdom to invade the territory of our Great Yan Dynasty, they can consume our Zhao family's army and wait until our Zhao family's army When we are about to lose our support, if we send reinforcements to take over the border, they might even directly seize the military power of my Zhao family." Zhao Jinsi said indignantly.
"Yes, if the mutiny of Yunding Hou had not been put down and Qingzhou City and our rear area had not been saved, then our Yuxiong Pass would really have become an isolated city. If we continue to fight alone, our morale will become increasingly low, and we will eventually be defeated. Falling like a mountain! That's why I said that Mr. Wei has really helped our Zhao family a lot this time!"
Wei Yi nodded after hearing Zhao Ziyun's words.
This time the Xilan Kingdom and the Human Kingdom invaded, maybe it was also part of the conspiracy plan of the Celestial Being Sect.
Perhaps they colluded with enemy countries to consume the Zhao family's troops and took this opportunity to implement a series of their subsequent plans.
But they never expected that there would be a huge change in this plan.
Moreover, Wei Yi knew very well that a protracted war would have a huge impact on the people's mentality and the economy, and
would continue to increase taxes and consume financial and material resources.
Nowadays, due to the war, the business in Qingzhou City has been extremely deserted, and the Wei family's industry has also been greatly affected.
Although Wei Yi already has huge wealth, he hopes that Qingzhou City can have the bustle and prosperity it once had.
The so-called cure and eradicate the root cause, the first step is to end this war and restore stability in the west.
Let Qingzhou City slowly return to normal and return to its former bustling scene.
This is also the purpose of Wei Yi's trip, to calm down the crisis at the border.
"Since the enemy wants to fight with us, then we will fight with them!" Wei Yi said.
But his words confused Zhao Ziyun and Zhao Jinsi.
But this was said by Wei Yi. Even if you don't understand it, it certainly makes sense.
So the two brothers and sisters had that kind of unclear expression on their faces.
"General, tomorrow we will have a showdown with the Xilan Kingdom and the Human Kingdom!" Wei Yi said loudly.
With him there, there is the power of the forest of pen and ink.
Even if 100,000 troops face an army of 500,000, it will still be a dimensionality reduction attack.
"What do you plan to do, young master?" Zhao Ziyun looked at Wei Yi curiously.
"Do you have pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" Wei Yi asked.
"Master, please come here!" Zhao Ziyun led Wei Yi to the desk beside him, and helped Wei Yi lay out the paper and grind it.
Wei Yi picked up the brush and wrote a poem on the paper.
[The silver sea is covered with long clouds and the snow-capped mountains are dark, and the isolated city looks at Yuxiong Pass in the distance. ]
[The yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and the Western barbarians will never return until they are defeated! 】
Zhao Ziyun looked at the poem written by Wei Yi, and his heart was immediately touched.
Looking at the four lines of the poem with burning eyes, an inexplicable emotion and pride suddenly surged in my heart.
In a trance, he seemed to be brought into a certain artistic conception by the words in front of him.
It reminded him of the time when he was in Tianmu City beside Yinhai Lake, climbing up and looking into the distance.
Looking around at the vast western land, the scene at the majestic Yuxiong Pass in the distance, and my inner feelings.
In the vast, lonely and inaccessible frontier, Tianmu City is like an isolated city, helpless.
But it was like the Zhao family's army fighting alone now.
The court behind them is controlled by traitors. They can't wait for reinforcements, let alone supplies.
I can only stick to this place and protect the border for the sake of the duty and belief in my heart.
And the last two sentences of the poem speak to the depths of his heart.
These soldiers guarding the border, even though they fought alone, their armor was worn through in hundreds of battles.
However, his ambition remains unquenchable and he vows not to return to his hometown until he defeats the invading enemy.
This is a true portrayal of the hearts of the 100,000 soldiers they have today. Just like during this period of time, they repelled the enemy troops attacking the city again and again, building walls with flesh and blood to resist the invading armies.
The artistic conception of the whole poem gave Zhao Ziyun a strong emotional resonance.
He couldn't help but said with excitement: "What a poem, what a poem. Mr. Wei is indeed an astonishing poet. This poem simply expresses the thoughts of countless of our border officers!" "General, this is not a poem
. This is also the way we will defeat the enemy tomorrow, and it is the sharpest spear in the world. It will help our soldiers pierce the enemy's formation, pierce the enemy's defense line, and pierce the heart of the enemy general!" Wei Yi said word by word .
His words made Zhao Ziyun a little shocked, not understanding what he meant.
After all, when Zhao Jinsi introduced Wei Yi just now, he did not describe in detail how Wei Yi used the power of pen and ink and the artistic conception of poetry to kill enemy generals and defeat enemy troops.
After all, she couldn't go into too much detail or reveal too much about the spirit of writing without Wei Yi's permission.
So I can only give a brief overview.
Therefore, at this time, Zhao Ziyun did not know the mystery of the spirit of pen and ink, nor the role of poetry.
"Brother, Mr. Wei's poems are magical powers, a weapon that can really kill enemies!" Zhao Jinsi explained.
After hearing Zhao Jinsi's words, Zhao Ziyun became even more curious.
How can this poem be a weapon to kill the enemy? Its most useful function is to mobilize and inspire soldiers before the war.
"General, please pass on this poem and have the whole army recite it," Wei Yi said again.
Although the generals were temporarily asked to read it before the war, the entire army could also read the poem.
However, if the whole army can recite this poem in advance, it will naturally be more conducive to their perception and understanding of the poem, and it will be conducive to emotional resonance and aggregation of willpower, making the power of this poem even greater.
And this poem is very easy to understand.
Especially for the soldiers here.
Even if you have no education and have never read a book.
But as long as you are not deaf or mute, you can empathize with it and understand its meaning when you hear it recited.
Zhao Ziyun looked at Wei Yi with some surprise. Although the poem was concise and comprehensive, it was easy to understand and not difficult to recite.
But he really didn't understand Wei Yi's intention of doing this.
However, he did not question anything, let alone ask any more questions. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Okay, I will definitely let the entire army strictly implement the Young Master's order."
Zhao Ziyun knew that the mystery behind this might be that it would not be disclosed to everyone, and he was anxious. No, maybe we will know the answer tomorrow.
That night, Zhao Ziyun ordered the entire army to recite the poem written by Wei Yi.
Just as Wei Yi thought, this poem was concise, comprehensive, and catchy, and it was quickly passed down from level to level in the army.
Although most of the people in this army are illiterate.
But when I heard this poem, I could immediately feel the meaning and emotion that the poem wanted to express.
It resonates and touches my heart.
However, everyone had the same reaction as Zhao Ziyun. They were all a little confused as to why they were suddenly asked to recite poems.
Although this poem moved them very much and touched them.
It also seemed to inspire the inner will to defend the country and repel the enemy.
But it was a bit strange and uncomfortable for them, a group of rough people, to be suddenly asked to recite poetry.
However, they did not dare to question the military orders, so they could only follow them.
"Commander, this poem is really good. I'm very excited after hearing it!" "
Yes, after listening to this poem, I want to go to the battlefield with a sword now!"
"Did the general write this poem?"
"Don't just worry about it. Listen, hurry up and recite it with me, I will take the test later!" said the corps commander, looking at the soldiers in front of him.
"Are you still going to take the exam?" The soldiers looked grim.
Memorizing poetry is not their strong point.
"Of course. We, the corps commanders, have just passed the exam at the chief's place and came back to teach you. If we fail the exam, we won't even have food tomorrow. Anyway, the general has ordered that everyone must recite this poem!" Wu The chief said sternly.
"This...well, I don't know if memorizing this poem can help us repel the enemy!" "
That's right, why not let us practice more, so that we can kill two more enemies by then!" "
Lieutenant, If you can't memorize it, you'll really have no food to eat?"
"Yeah, do you think I'm joking?" "
Oh, it seems that the situation is not optimistic now. They have started to use poetry to inspire us!" "
Yeah, shouldn't you? Maybe there's not enough food and grass. Let's use reciting poems to decide whether we can eat. If we can't recite the poem, we can't eat. In this way, we can legitimately save a lot of food, and it won't let us know that there is not enough food!" "Pop
! ——" The corps commander slapped the soldier who spoke on the back of the head.
He said angrily: "You are the only ones who are smart, right? You are the only ones who can guess. You are guessing randomly every day. Just memorize it for me. If anyone memorizes it wrong tomorrow, don't blame me for being punished!" Seeing that the corps leader was angry
! , several soldiers did not dare to talk nonsense anymore, and quickly followed the corps commander to recite the poem.
The poem is catchy and easy to recite.
It didn't take long for several people to memorize them all.
In the evening, Wei Tieshan was also called to the barracks and met Wei Yi.
The uncle and nephew were naturally overjoyed to see each other again after a long absence.
But while he was happy, Wei Tieshan was a little surprised as to why Wei Yi came here.
Wei Yi said that he was here to advise General Zhao and provide him with ways to defeat the enemy.
The specific situation was not given in too much detail.
He also did not tell Wei Tieshan about the recent events in Qingzhou City.
After all, there is a long time to come, and there are always opportunities to talk slowly.
"By the way, Second Uncle, General Zhao has promised me that if we can successfully defeat the enemy this time, he will allow me to take you home. From now on, our family can truly reunite and never be separated again!" Wei Yi smiled. said.
Hearing Wei Yi's words, Wei Tieshan looked at Wei Yi with surprise on his face: "Really, Yi'er, you mean General Zhao asked me to resign and go home with you?"
Wei Tieshan was excited, and he naturally wanted to go home. .
After all, he missed being apart from his family for so long.
Although General Zhao previously agreed to him taking leave to go home during the Spring Festival.
But we don’t know how long the war will last, and it’s still unclear whether we can go back then.
So now that he heard Wei Yi's words, Wei Tieshan was naturally very happy.
And what Wei Yi meant was that General Zhao would allow him to truly resign and go home, and live with his family in the future.
"Of course, I can take you back to Qingzhou City in two days." Wei Yi said with a smile.
Being able to take my second uncle home was a fulfillment of my own wish, and it was also a fulfillment of my family's wish.
