Yang Yingqi returned to his residence and talked to Deng Su about what had happened, Deng Su exclaimed: "Seventh General, you are so bold!" Although the old breed is a famous general in the world, he acts uprightly. But it's too dangerous for you to be so self-defeating. ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "You are too worried. The heroes of the northern kingdom value me, and if they find me in their territory, they may keep me in disregard of faith. However, most of the heroes of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the heroes of the interior, still regarded our Han Department too lightly, and this kind of thinking cannot be changed by one or two things. If you don't value us, you won't spend a lot of money to harm each other. So I am sure they will not disregard morality for us well-intentioned 'sea chiefs'. Besides, from the position of the old species, it may not be good to hold me down. ”

Deng Su said: "Nothing has happened now, you can naturally be so relaxed." But after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and now that food has been sent and maps have been given, you have also seen the morale and folk customs of Xiongzhou, and even the old ones have also been seen. If there is nothing to do, General Seven, you might as well arrange to go back to Tanggu first. ”

Yang Yingqi muttered: "The military equipment in Xiongzhou really worries me. I heard that Tong Guan and the Seed Master Dao are at odds again, which is not a good sign. ”

Deng Su said: "At present, it seems that there are many hidden worries in the Great Song Dynasty, but there are more worries on the Khitan side. The Great Song Dynasty has many generals, and the Khitan only has Yanjing all the way, and how can it be the enemy to resist a country all the way? ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "Not bad." After all, it is national strength that fights wars. Ye Luchun's little family background, no matter what, he couldn't withstand the attack of the Great Song Dynasty. Well, besides, what we see is not the whole face of the Song army, and maybe the Song people have another killer feature. But ......"

"But what?"

"But I'm a little strange, I don't know why the Seed Master Dao seems to have little confidence. The second brother often said that the old man was the most admired general in the world, and the second brother Zang has always been cautious, and it always makes sense to think about it. Don't...... Could it be that the Seed Master Dao thinks that this battle cannot be won? Also, he doesn't seem to be an unreasonable person, how can he have an awkward relationship with Eunuch Tong at this juncture? ”

Yang Yingqi complained that the seed master did not handle the interpersonal relationship well, but he wronged the other party. The contradiction between Tong Guan and the Seed Master Dao is not caused by some daily etiquette problems and recent personal grudges, nor is it something that can be solved by the "reasonable" nature of the Seed Master. In the final analysis, the deep-seated contradiction between Tong and Chong lies in the struggle for the leadership of the army!

The one who really has enough talent and prestige to be the supreme commander of this hundreds of thousands of troops should actually be a teacher and not a child! The officers and soldiers of the three armies knew this, the enemy army in Liaoxia knew, and even the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty knew it! However, Zhao Ji still sent Tong Guan to press on the head of the Seed Master Dao and entrusted him with the right to make decisions on the side, and Tong Guan refused to admit that he was inferior to the Seed Master Dao. Not only does he want to prove that he is stronger than the Seed Master, but he also wants to monopolize the military merits of this Northern Expedition! After the failure of Taizong's northern expedition, the emperor of the Zhao family made an instruction passed down from generation to generation: no matter the same surname or different surname, anyone who can restore Yanyun will be crowned king! This is an honor that the Great Song Dynasty couldn't be higher. No matter who achieved this, he was certainly a great minister in his lifetime, and he will go down in history after his death!

This Pingyan's discussion originated from Yanren Zhao Lianghe. Zhao Liangsi couldn't get along in the Liao court and ran to Bianliang, he had nothing else to sell to the Zhao family, so he had to sell Yanjing - the only way to get promoted to the Great Song Dynasty and make a fortune was to make a great contribution to Pingyan. In order to persuade the Northern Song court to send troops and break up the opposition's arguments, he greatly exaggerated and even distorted the Yan people's yearning for the Great Song Dynasty and the weakness of the Liao army. In fact, Zhao Liangsi may not know what the people in Khitan Nanjing Dao really think, but he has already said it in front of Emperor Daojun, and he has never changed his words since then. The Great Song court's understanding of Yanjing basically came from Zhao Liangsi and Xiongzhou's retainers and milling, and he milling knew that he had actually been greatly influenced by Zhao Liangsi, so the situation of the Great Song Dynasty on the objects of the Northern Expedition was almost entirely from Zhao Liangsi's words.

The mediocre generation of He Mill, Li Yinggu's disciple, and the important ministers of the contemporary Song Dynasty in Northern Xinjiang are either rotten Confucians like He Mill, or ministers like Li Yinggu, who have no ability or even interest in understanding the actual situation of the Khitan. As for the officials and officials under the control of Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan and others, they either sit and discuss policies, or they are hearsay, and they are unwilling to spend their efforts to do a little honest espionage work. Even the spy reports sent by the Han Ministry through some channels have been filtered out by layers of bureaucracy because they are different from the preferences of the current elites.

After the accumulation of lies, almost even the liars themselves began to believe them, and those who followed the crowd became solid supporters of lies. Although a few people such as Dao Dao felt that something was strange out of the judgment of "common sense", there were still many people in the middle and high ranks of the army who believed that the Yan people "looked at the southern division like a fish looking at water", especially Emperor Daojun and Tong Guan were convinced of this. Since the Khitans, who were beaten to death by the Jurchens, were weak and bullied, and the people of Yanjing supported the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty so much, could there be any other result in this battle besides victory? Since victory is a low-hanging fruit, then fighting a war is no longer an important matter, at least for Tong Guan, the most important thing at the moment is how to monopolize this inevitable achievement.

During the two days when the army was resting in Xiongzhou, the Seed Master Dao was busy collecting intelligence from all aspects inside and outside, while Tong Guan was struggling to find out how to set up the Seed Master Dao.

The deployment of the Great Song Dynasty has not been decided, but the Khitan elite has already gone south. Deng Su urged Yang Yingqi to say: "I heard that Yelu Chun has ordered Yelu Dashi to be the capital of the Southwest Road, Xiao Gan to be the deputy, and to garrison Zhuozhou New Town. The big battle can be triggered at any time, and if you don't leave, the seventh general, I'm afraid that you will be directly involved in the war. ”

Yang Yingqi also knew that even if the situation was not urgent, he should not leave Tanggu for a long time, so he agreed immediately and said, "You can arrange it, and I will go back." "After thinking about it, I will send someone to say goodbye to the planter.

Deng Su said: "Although the prime minister is a righteous person, he is the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty after all, so don't tell him about this, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "No. This is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and with his ability, if he wants to detain me, he will definitely be the eyes and ears of the nearby arrangement. I'm afraid you can't hide it from him, in this case, it's better to say goodbye to him generously, but it looks bright. ”

Deng Su couldn't say anything about Yang Yingqi, so he had to obey him. And the Seed Master Dao really didn't mean to stop it, but just sent Chong Yanchong to see him off in a private capacity. At the time of parting, Yang Yingqi saw that Chong Yanchong looked in a trance, as if he had something on his mind, and asked the reason, only to know that Chong Yansong was sick, and the illness was not light. It turned out that when the Chong brothers escorted Yang Yingqi back that night, they happened to encounter the last rejuvenation cold of the year, and Chong Yansong felt unwell that night, and fell ill after going back.

Yang Yingqi exclaimed: "This is my tired brother Yan Songxian!" ”

Chongyan Chong hurriedly said: "You can't say that. In fact, there are not a few people who have fallen ill in the army in the past few days, and Brother Song fell ill, half because of the wind and cold, and half because of the water and soil. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I am doing business overseas, and I don't dare to discuss the military affairs of the Great Song Dynasty. But looking at the current layout of Xiongzhou, not enough attention has been paid to the care of soldiers. Don't make a disease on the spot. ”

Chongyan Chong hurriedly said: "My grandfather is also very concerned about this matter, and now he has urged people to start doing it." Fortunately, the number of sick people has not continued to increase for the time being. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Bianliang's healer elixir is unparalleled in the world. I just don't know how many are in the army? If there is any shortcoming, you can write to inform me, I ...... I will persuade General Ouyang to send a doctor to send medicine to help. Also, the good doctor of the Han Department has special experience in wind and cold, and he may not be inferior to the Bianliang Imperial Doctor in this item. As soon as I go back, I will ask the national hand to come and watch for Brother Yan Songxian. ”

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, Chong Yanchong was moved in his heart and said, "Little Seventh Brother, thank you very much." ”

There is no song or wine in this farewell, but because of this, there is another hand.
