When Deng Su came, it was the middle of the night, and after talking for a long time, he came out at sunrise. There were torches lit in Xiao Tienu's tent, but for some reason, Deng Su felt that the dark night with no moon outside and only a few stars was not as gloomy as in the tent, and said in his heart: "Although it can be seen that the sixth general can take care of the overall situation, his means of leading the troops are really very different from the second general!" ”

After he left, he came out of the tent with a kind of illness, and said to himself: "He doesn't seem to recognize me, is it because he didn't pay attention, or because he can't see clearly at night?" Suddenly, he touched his face again: "Or has my appearance become unrecognizable to him?" ”

Don't say that you are sick here and sigh about your life experience, but you say that Lu Yanlun came to see Ouyang Shi with Deng Su on the second day, and Lu Yanlun only saw two straight eyes along the way! Although he had stayed in Shangjing in Daliao, the area of Shangjing was much larger than that of the inner city of Tanggu, but how could he have such a prosperous commercial atmosphere, he praised it in his mouth, and said in his heart: "If the six generals are not restrained, let those cubs in the army see these riches and nobility, and don't go crazy to rob them!" I thought again: "I heard that the port has only been built here for more than a year, if it is Jinmen, I don't know what kind of weather it is!" When I go back to southern Liaoning this time, I must see and learn. I thought again: "Although Jinmen is good, it is not as good as Bianliang's century-old foundation!" If you have the opportunity to go to Bianliang, it will be in vain! Suddenly, he thought that Bianliang was not the "nest" of the Han Dynasty, and he didn't know if the Seventh General would allow the military horses to enter the city and loot it, and his head was full of thoughts, and he had already arrived at Ouyang Shi's apartment.

Lu Yanlun entered the door, and after Deng Su saw him, he stated Xiao Tienu's meaning.

Ouyang Shi listened and said, "When the sixth brother arrives at the door, he naturally wants to come in." However, the inner city military area is narrow, and it really can't accommodate too many people, so it's better for him to settle in the outer city. Send someone to do this. ”

Deng Su was about to go with Lu Yanlun, and Lu Yanlun said, "The sixth general has some personal matters for me to tell. Deng Su glanced at him and said, "Then I'll wait in the outer hall." ”

After Deng Su went out, Lu Yanlun stepped forward and kowtowed: "Fourth General Wan'an." ”

Ouyang Shi smiled and said: "The person who comes out of the sixth ** is Zhifun!" It's not as boring as the people around the second and seventh children! Get up, what is the matter with your master letting you come? ”

Lu Yanlun knew that Xiao Tienu's friendship with the four generals in front of him was different from others, so he kowtowed again before standing up and said, "The sixth general asked the little one to ask the fourth general, but is there anything he can do before entering the city?" ”

Ouyang Shi thought for a while and said, "No." I'm here to be windy, rainy, and free. You tell the iron slave to come in quickly, and the brothers are happy together. ”

Lu Yanlun said: "Since this is the case, the little one will go out to do errands." "Kowtowed, and then went out.

Ouyang Shi sighed: "The people under the six slaves are really sensible. Why is Chen Zhenghui not so well-behaved? Shaking his head, he listened to the report from the next person: "Yan Song, the loyal military clan, and Yang Keshi, the stranded Song general, ask to see." ”

Ouyang Shi sneered: "What are they doing here? ”

The man said: "It seems that I heard that the Jin army is going to enter the city, and I want to come to the general to ask for some news." ”

Ouyang Shi said: "I don't see them." You found an excuse to push it for me. After a pause, he said: "In the future, their affairs will be transferred to Deng Su and let Deng Su deal with it!" ”

The attitude of the master, the people all saw it in their eyes, and after going out, they didn't give Yang Keshi a good look at Yansong, Yang Keshi was angry, and after going back, he went south as soon as possible, and soon an order came from Xiongzhou to let him go to Cangzhou to guard the border village.

Seeing Ouyang Shi's attitude turn cold, Chong Yansong felt uncomfortable. Seeing that Yang Keshi returned to the south, he also asked for his life to return to Song. But Tong Guan didn't have a good impression of him, and they were already a little suspicious of the origin of the Zhongwu Army, and he was originally given the title of official because he saw the face of the Han Ministry. Tong Guan didn't plan to ignore him, but his staff member Wang Gui suggested that the loyal military army be transferred to the Taihang Mountain area to quell the thieves. It turned out that after Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan were defeated one after another, there were many Liao troops who fled into the frontier, and a considerable part of them fled into the mountains at the junction of Yanyun and Lianghe, and fell into the grass by virtue of the complex terrain. At present, the main contradiction between the Jin and Song dynasties is concentrated on the ownership of Yanjing, and no one has the heart to pay attention to these thieves, so the Taihang Mountain Range has become a deserter gathering and roaring in the area of the old border of the Liao and Song dynasties, not only the situation is complicated, but also the total number of troops is tens of thousands of people. Tong Guan's staff suggested that even if it wasn't to kill people with a knife, at least it was to push Chong Yansong into the fire pit!

But Chong Yansong didn't think about this, he was still young, and he had a strong sense of honor, and in his heart, there was a serious military operation for him to do, but it was far better than the empty consumption of the outer city in Tanggu, so after receiving the order, he immediately ordered to prepare to go.

At this time, Lin Yi was in charge of the money and grain for the transfer of money and grain in the army of Chong Yansong, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly came to see Chong Yansong, analyzed the situation with him, and persuaded him not to send him to death.

Chong Yansong listened to Lin Yi's words, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are a soldier, you should serve the country!" I heard that the thieves and deserters on the side of Taihang Mountain plundered everywhere and harmed the surrounding people, so we went not only for the country, but also for the people. If you unfortunately die on the battlefield, you will not lose the face of your ancestors. ”

Lin Yi was stunned, and said in his heart: "I always felt that he was just a child of a family, but now it seems that the Seventh General chose him with a reason-he may not know the difficulty of going, but he knows the difficulty and does it!" There was a slight respect in his heart, but he still persuaded: "Even if you want to go, you can't go in a hurry!" If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about these more than a thousand brothers! ”

Chong Yansong was stunned for a moment, and then felt slightly guilty, he had been with his subordinates for many months, and his feelings were already quite deep, and then he thought that if Meng Lang acted he would bring them great danger, he couldn't help but blame himself, and said: "Brother Xie Lin said bluntly. It's just that the military order has been given, and if I don't go, I won't be able to do it! After a pause, he said: "Although there are many bandits on the Taihang Mountain, most of them are rabble, and I may not have no chance of winning this time." ”

Lin Yi said: "Brother Seed has a plan in his heart for the war, but how to solve the food and salary? ”

Chong Yansong was stunned and said, "Food? Since Master Tong gave the order, he must have food and salary to respond. ”

Lin Yi sneered: "Did he say that he would be responsible for our food?" ”

Chong Yansong said curiously: "Do you need to say this? It's a matter of course! ”

Lin Yi smiled bitterly: "Brother Seed is too honest! Not to mention that Taishi Tong and Ling Zu have always been at odds, they just don't care about this relationship, but looking at his style, I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to ask him for money and food. Besides, our loyal army has always tried to find a way to support itself, and suddenly we have to reach out and beg for help, but we don't have it! ”

After Chong Yansong was broken by Lin Yi, he also felt reasonable, and he was still somewhat sure of going into the mountains to fight thieves, but if Tong Guan gave him a poisonous trick to cut off his food, he would be in a dilemma at that time! At that moment, he said, "Brother Lin, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Lin Yi said: "I mean: we also bring our own food. ”

Chong Yansong said: "We have only been working on this farm and ranch in the outer city for a few months, and it is not yet time to harvest!" Where is the bread for us? ”

Lin Yi said: "Although these farms and pastures have not yet reached the harvest time, the foundation has been laid, and they will become a piece of fast treasure land in a year or two." It's a strange thing! It's better to sell these places, set them into cash and grain, and bring them to Taihang Mountain, which is enough for us to eat for a while! ”

Chong Yansong said happily: "Good idea! If we have grain and grass in our hands, we don't have to spend the Great Song Dynasty treasury, and we don't have to look at Tong Guan's face to act! It's not okay to just sell land and buy grain without saying hello to the Han Ministry, but now General Ouyang is very cold to us, and I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle. If he says that the land is theirs, and that he will take it back in vain, we will be helpless. ”

Lin Yi said: "Since General Ouyang is difficult to speak, we might as well go directly to General Xiao Yang!" ”

Chong Yansong's heart sank, and asked, "General Xiao Yang?" He's also in Tanggu? ”

Lin Yi said: "He is not here, but he has a lot of business dealings with his brother, and I am sure that I can find him!" If you have his support, you will need money and food, and even weapons, horses, and talents! It's just that we have to postpone the dispatch of troops a little. ”

Chong Yansong groaned: "Okay! Anyway, Master Tong didn't rush very much. I'll leave this matter to Brother Lin. ”

Lin Yi immediately drafted a letter to fly the pigeon to Jinmen, and told Yang Yingqi about his plan. Chen Zhenghui looked at it and said: "Lin Yi suggested that the boat should be pushed down the river to let this group of men and horses enter Taihang Mountain, this proposal is somewhat interesting. Seeing that Yang Yingqi shook his head again and again, Chen Zhenghui said strangely: "Is the Seventh General against this matter?" ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "I'm not against it, I think Lin Yi's courage and strength are too small!" He only thought about bringing a large amount of money and food, but he didn't expect to turn that area into a base area! ”

Chen Zhenghui's eyes lit up and said, "Base? This...... Is this okay? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "In that place, the production of grain and horses may not be enough to be self-sufficient, but if you add business, most of them will be enough." ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Business? However, the roads there are blocked, and the traffic is very inconvenient. And it is a little far away from Tanggu, and this trade route may not be smooth. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Otherwise! It is not close to Tanggu, but it is not far away. In particular, there are three conditions that are unmatched elsewhere. ”

Chen Zhenghui asked what were the three major conditions, and Yang Yingqi said: "First, it is located on the border, and it is a mountainous area, coupled with high mountains and dense forests, and a mixture of dragons and snakes, I am afraid that in a few years, the Jin and Song dynasties will not have the time to manage there. Second, the place was administratively marginal, but geographically it was the center of several important places! To the northwest is Datong, to the southwest is Taiyuan, as for the east, there are Yanjing, Tanggu, Xiongzhou! If you can open up the trade route to the south, then you will go down along the Taihang, and it is not very far from Bianliang. Thirdly, there are so many useful products in the vicinity of that area, and as far as I know, coal and iron alone are enough to establish a domestic state! If you can deal with the thieves over there, hey! The future is limitless! ”

Chen Zhenghui pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Since it is so good there, why didn't the Han Department directly take root there in the first place?" ”

Yang Yingqi laughed and said: "Because the Han Department did not have the conditions of the loyal army today!" ”

Chen Zhenghui asked: "What conditions does the loyal army have that the Han Department does not have?" ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "The conditions of the Zhongwu Army are much better than ours at that time. The most important one is that they have the official name of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is justified to go into the mountains to beg for thieves, so as long as the person in charge handles it properly after entering the mountains and forests, they will not become thieves. Moreover, because the loyal army is under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, the wealthy businessmen in Hedong and Hebei will not have too many scruples when they smell the smell of copper and invest in the past, and they don't have to be afraid of being regarded as thieves by the imperial court! Also, in the future, the merchants who come out there will have the number of the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty as a cover, and it will be relatively smooth to enter Taiyuan in the west and Bianliang in the south. Finally ......"

Chen Zhenghui didn't wait for Yang Yingqi to finish speaking, and then said: "In the end, the loyal army has us as the backer, not only is the logistics safe, but also the northwest into Datong and Yinshan, and the northeast into Yanjing and Tanggu will have us to take care of it. ”

Yang Yingqi laughed and said, "Yes, that's it." That's why I just said that Lin Yi's suggestion is too small regardless of the amount of layout! You personally arrange this, in addition to adding some farmers, chariots and horses to the loyal army, and transfer a group of craftsmen and monks! In addition, we will look for a few available students from the Guanning School to be the staff of the Zhongwu Military Middle School, and at the same time look at the terrain and people over there, and if possible, build a school building there. Hey, we finally pulled up such a group of people, and we got such a good opportunity, we can't waste it. ”
