During the Song-Liao War, Chong Yansong had been recuperating in Tanggu. He was more anxious about the battlefield than the people outside, but under the persuasion of the left and right, he finally settled down and recuperated his body.

During this time, Tanggu was quite calm, and the environment was suitable for recuperation. And the doctor who treated Chong Yansong was the first-class in the world, and the medicine he took was also the best in the world, even the maids and servants who served before and after were also considerate. After all, Chong Yansong is young, and after surviving the most difficult level, his physical strength recovered quickly.

Before Chong Yansong recovered from his illness, he kept the news of the Yannan battlefield tightly for fear of affecting his condition, and waited until he could dance the sword, and followed him to the old family Chong Fu cried and relayed the details of the war to him, Chong Yansong heard that the Great Song Dynasty was defeated, his grandfather Zhishi, and his brother were missing, like three thunderbolts in his mind, and after calming down, he hurriedly came to see Deng Su to ask for his resignation.

Deng Su asked him, "Where are you going?" ”

Chong Yansong said: "Naturally, it's going south!" ”

Deng Su asked again: "What are you doing in the south?" ”

Chong Yansong was stunned by this sentence, it turned out that he was just instinctively anxious to go back, as for why he was in a hurry to go back, he didn't think about it, and after a while, he said: "I'm worried about my grandfather, and I can't wait to go back to him immediately." Even if you have any plans, you will wait until you see your grandfather. ”

Deng Su said: "The kind of minister has been promoted, unless it is re-used by the imperial court, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a difference." So even if you go back to him, I am afraid it will not help much. Now that the situation in the north is dark and uncertain, it is a good opportunity for the husband to serve the country! If you give up this opportunity and go back to the rear, I am afraid that the people of the world will ridicule you for being unwise and uncourageous. ”

Chong Yansong said: "What Brother Deng said is certainly reasonable, but I am bare-handed, and it is useless to stay here alone." ”

Deng Su said: "That's not the case, it's useful or not, but it depends on whether you are willing to find a way." ”

Chong Yansong asked: "Brother Deng said this, I guess there must be something to teach me!" Yan Song was young and ignorant, and asked Brother Deng for guidance. ”

Deng Su said: "Don't dare to point out." But now there's an opportunity! In this Yannan War, General Ouyang was afraid that Tanggu would also be impacted, so they recruited a lot of Great Song Minfu to enlist in the army to help defend. Now that the situation has eased, this group of people is no longer needed, and they are ready to be dismissed. But since we have recruited them into the army, can we dismiss them for no reason and let them become outcasts and thieves? Therefore, General Ouyang is struggling with this matter. If the old brother has the heart to serve the country, why not go to General Ouyang and ask for this soldier and horse? First, to prevent this group of people from wandering out as a troubled place, and secondly, if the Great Song Dynasty Wang Shi went north again, it is unknown whether this group of people might come in handy. ”

Chong Yansong groaned: "How many people are in this military horse? ”

Deng Su said: "There are 500 horse-led infantry, 300 cavalry, and 200 miscellaneous servants, a total of 1,000 people." Military horses, grain wagons, armor, weapons, camp tents, and miscellaneous items were all ready-made. ”

Chong Yansong listened a little incredulous: "With such an arrangement, General Ouyang is willing to give it away?" ”

Deng Su said: "The Han army can't support too much, and General Ouyang wants to reduce manpower is also limited by the situation. ”

Chong Yansong said: "I don't know if I can go to the army to have a look." ”

Deng Su said: "Now that army and horse are stationed in the military region, and if you want to enter, you must first get permission from General Ouyang." I'll help you ask. ”

He went for a long time, and then replied that Ouyang Shi had agreed and asked him to go to the barracks tomorrow to have a look. He also said: "There are a lot of secrets in the Han Department in the military region, so don't look around after entering, just inspect the garrison of the 1,000 soldiers and horses, so as not to make it difficult to do it below." ”

Chong Yansong hurriedly said: "This is natural. ”

On the second day, Deng Su accompanied him to the camp of the 800 new army, when the troops were conducting daily training, Chong Yansong only looked at it a few times and secretly greedy: although these 800 people are not as strong as the elite of Shaanxi, they are all one in ten northern men, after two months of training by the regular army of the Han Army, they are all full of energy, and they advance and retreat in a certain way. Chong Yansong is a disciple of the general, although he has no practical experience in leading troops to fight alone, but he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and his vision is not low, so he went to the barracks and came back that night and lost sleep, and took the initiative to find Deng Su on the second day and asked him to help him intercede with Ouyang Shi.

These things are actually being manipulated by Yang Yingqi behind them, so Deng Su "went to talk to Ouyang Shiyi" and quickly got a refreshing reply! Chong Yansong was very excited, followed Deng Su's suggestion, and led the group of men and horses to camp outside Tanggu City. He was the first time to lead the army, but Chongfu had followed the master for decades, was familiar with all kinds of military chores, and there was a Xiongzhou man Li Cheng who had been trained in Liaokou as a staff officer, and all kinds of matters were carried out clearly. After the flag of the word "seed" outside the city wall of Tanggu was raised, Chong Yansong couldn't help but be proud in his chest, and even swept the scene of leading this team of people to step on the wall of Yanjing City in his mind! But when he came over in the evening, he stumped this little general with just one sentence! It turned out that Chongfu asked: "Young master, this team of people, what can we rely on to raise?" ”

Chong Yansong was stunned when he heard this, and the pride of the day was swept away! yes, what does he rely on to feed this army? At present, there are still ten days of food in the army, but this food will always be eaten, and what will he use to feed the army at that time?

After all, Chong Yansong is young, and it is easy to let a son of a general who has just debuted to fight on the battlefield, but it is inevitable to ask them to make a living and make profits. He discussed with Chongfu for a long time, but this old family member is honest and reliable, but he can't do things according to machine changes, so he doesn't have any good ideas, and finally suggested: "Young master, I see that although Li Cheng, who joined the army, was sent by the Han Department to help, he was quite respectful to the young master, so it is better to invite him to ask tomorrow." ”

Chong Yansong said: "Not bad! ”

On the second day, Li Cheng was invited, Li Cheng was a martial artist, and he was a good hand at fighting, so he didn't have any good ideas in this regard, but Yang Yingqi had already helped him think about it, and said through Li Cheng's mouth: "General, since our army has become independent, borrowing grain from the Han Department can only be an expedient measure." In the long run, it is necessary to find additional military funding. I have a plan, and I will say it for the general's reference. Nowadays, there are many merchants in Tanggu, several of whom are from the Great Song Dynasty, and they seem to have the heart to contribute to the country. It is better to ask them, and you may be able to raise money and food. ”

Chong Yansong hesitated: "Raise money and grain from merchants? Is this the right thing to do? ”

Li Chengdao: "I heard that Liu Bei did the same back then, and I think there is a story to follow." ”

Chong Yansong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Not bad! At the beginning of Zhaolie's army, he was indeed supported by the righteous businessmen! ”

Li Cheng glared and said, "Who is Zhaolie?" ”

Chong Yansong said curiously: "It's Liu Bei." You know this allusion to him, why don't you even know his temple number? ”

Li Cheng hurriedly smiled dryly: "We are rough people, we only know some things, where can we understand these temple numbers or something." ”

Chong Yansong was not surprised, and asked how to contact the businessman, Chong Fu said on the side: "Yesterday, a businessman surnamed Lin sent a family member to hand over the post, I saw that it was a businessman, and we had other important matters at hand, so I only accepted the post and didn't promise the other party anything." ”

Li Cheng heard this: "The surname is Lin? But the Lin family in Quanzhou, Fujian? ”

Chongfu said: "It seems to be called Lin Ling." ”

Li Cheng said with a happy face: "This is a coincidence!" ”

Chong Yansong asked, "Qiao?" ”

Li Chengdao: "General, you don't know, this Fujian Lin family is rich enough to rival the country, and they are the most enthusiastic about the country. I didn't expect their boss Lin Ling to be in Tanggu! Since this Lin Dangjia came to deliver the post, I think you might as well go and meet the general, maybe it will be helpful to raise military funds. ”
