Chapter 1853 treat each other with sincerity

Liu Huan's news arrived from Qingtang to Ningxia Road and was teleported to the Shendu City as fast as possible all the way eastward.

This was a secret memorial from the envoy. It passed through the central courtyard and was sent directly to Zhao Zhen. Fortunately, no one saw the real feedback in the memorial. Otherwise, the ministers of the central courtyard would have rebuked Liu Huan for his extravagance.

After seeing the memorial of Liu Huan, Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly. He sent him there because of his friendly relationship with Jiao Siluo, but he didn't expect that he was so straightforward, even so straightforward that he made Jiao Siluo hostile to the courtiers.

From the very beginning, Zhao Zhen planned to take Jiao Siluo back to his own use. His military talents were fully demonstrated in the fight against Xixia, but some court officials were worried about him.

Although these people were court officials of the Song Dynasty, their thoughts were still quite conservative, and they always thought about the concern that "if any of our race, their hearts will be different."

But Zhao almost did not doubt Jiao Siluo's loyalty, or did not care about his rebellion. After all, Qing Tang was too close to the Song Dynasty, and the defenders of Ningxia Road in the Song Dynasty could reach Qing Tang by just raising their feet.

Liu Huan did nothing wrong, but he was very unkind. He could even be said to be a group of vicious persecution, let alone treat his old acquaintances and friends, so that he would not make people feel that the Song Dynasty was narrow-minded.

Even though he did not represent Zhao Zhen, he went to Qingtang as an envoy, which actually represented the emperor and the entire Song Dynasty, and of course also represented the views of the court officials.

His repeated forced efforts were to reassure the Song Dynasty. He needed a reason, a reason for the Song Dynasty to not use troops against Qing Tang. In the end, he not only got the reason, but also had unexpected gains.

When receiving Liu Huan's memorial, Zhao Zhen also received a memorial from Beiwei Army. Jiaosiluo's wife and children had already entered Ningxia Road and were preparing to continue heading east to Shendu City.

Sure enough, Jiao Siluo did not break his promise. He made his promise. The next step was to see what Da Song and Zhao Zhen did.

This was a heavy slap in the civil servant who had once suspected him, and also a slap in the face of Liu Huan, the former friend. The final result must be that after Jiao Siluo entered the court, he would wear these people's shoes.

Zhao Zhen doesn't care. You offended others at the beginning, but now they are making great achievements and want to find a debt, that's your own business.

Not only did he not have any partiality with the court officials towards Liu Huan, Zhao Zhen even wanted to see how Jiaosi Luo would retaliate against these former "enemy" after he became an official in the court. As long as he was not overstated, Zhao Zhen was even willing to turn a blind eye.

Regarding the Princess Xiping and the son of Xiping, Zhao Zhen of course had to receive it with high standards. Not only did he send the palace guards to Ningxia Road to the west to welcome him, he also prepared a luxurious mansion in Shendu City.

The location is just outside Dongmen Street, outside Donghua Gate, not far from the palace wall. These are several houses left by Cai Boqi himself at that time. In order to use them for Zhao Zhen from time to time, they are used first.

Zhao Zhen issued an order that the Princess Xiping must be packed before the arrival of the arrival of the arrival of the Prince, and that the utensils and specifications used must be prepared as the prince of the royal family.

Zhao Zhen regarded Jiao Siluo as his brother and sister. Although the two had never seen each other once, they could understand it thoroughly through the constant exchanges of letters.

When Jiaosiluo's Xiping Palace was started here, all the materials and aids stored on Ningxia Road were hoarded on the other side set out to enter Qingtang. These things were in the hands of Liu Huan. Without his words, these materials would stay on Ningxia Road forever.

Liu Huan could not return to the court yet, so Zhao Zhen issued an order to let him serve as the marching of Jiaosiluo in Qingtang. From this moment on, Liu Huan became a subordinate of Jiaosiluo, a subordinate who could be called at any time.

Of course, this was Zhao Zhen showing kindness to Jiao Siluo. Liu Huan knew very well, so after preparing his luggage, he went to Jiao Siluo's central tent again, but this time there was no one in his heart or grudges.

Jiao Siluo did not make things difficult for him. He and Liu Huan both knew that this was the opportunity for the government to vent his anger, but the more at this time, the less we could vent our anger, otherwise it would give people a feeling of uneven retribution. The court officials of the Song Dynasty would definitely not like him.

Of course, Zhao Zhen’s style is indispensable. This is for outsiders to see. Look, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty even intended to vent his anger as a marching Sima for you. Of course, if you really do this...

Of course, Jiao Siluo would not vent his anger on Liu Huan. Not only did he not give him a stumbling block, he also gave him a chance to make military achievements. After all, Jiao Siluo's Qing Tang army was not a vegetarian. He was resourceful, brave in combat, and sacrificed his life. These were almost all the characteristics of the Qing Tang army.

In addition, the weapons and equipment of the Song Dynasty almost made the Qing Tang army invincible. The Tubo people encountered in each battle retreated, either surrendered or turned into corpses.

This is plateau combat, and heavy armor is not suitable for cavalry. What they need most are light armor and ratchet crossbows.

The ratchet crossbow is labor-saving and has a very fast speed. You only need to shake the winch quickly to easily wind the string. The force used is much easier than that of the yellow crossbow or other crossbow arrows. The most important point is that this ratchet crossbow can be used on horseback.

Not many cavalry can shoot arrows on horseback. Not only can they shoot arrows, but they also need to have a correct head, which is even more difficult. Therefore, whether it is the grassland or the plateau cavalry, they gather together and shoot arrows at the same time, killing the enemy with the overwhelming rain of arrows.

When it comes to the Qing Tang army equipped with ratchet crossbows, it is completely different. The cavalry instructors of the Song Dynasty taught them how to use ratchet crossbows and how to use ratchet crossbows on horseback.

The small and light ratchet crossbow is hung around the neck by a rope, and it is supported and fixed. It only takes one hand to complete the winding step. The Qing Tang Army, who is skilled in riding, can also use both hands, which is even more convenient.

After having the ratchet crossbow, the enemy had fled everywhere without even having to get close to the white blade on the battlefield, and the crossbow arrows all over the sky had defeated their fighting spirit.

Whenever he wins, Jiao Siluo will ask Liu Huan to record his military achievements in a variety of ways and compile them into a book.

Liu Huan was curious at first, why did the Qing Tang Army want these military achievements? They were not the army of the Song Dynasty. Even if they recorded their military achievements, they would not be rewarded by the Ministry of War, right?

However, Jiao Siluo insisted on letting him do this, and finally explained that these were the military achievements of the Qing Tang Army and the evidence that the Qing Tang Army had been through life and death for the Song Dynasty. After the Tubo was unified, the Qing Tang Army would be the Qing Tang Army of the Song Dynasty, and he would still ask the officials for these military achievements.
