As 1681 drew to a close, Jiankang ushered in another disturbing year. The news of the burning of Huining and the killing of the gold lord had already reached Jiangnan at this time, and the scholars of the Southern Song Dynasty were full of mixed emotions about the news. After all, the Jin people were the enemies of the Song people, and when they heard that the Jin capital had fallen and the Jin Emperor died, the first reaction of most scholars and doctors was to celebrate with a crown. But the last time Zhao Gou stabbed the Han knife from the back because of the great victory of the Han army, they didn't dare to show this joy easily-who knows how the emperor will deal with this matter! In case you show your attitude too obviously, it's not fun to provoke Zhao Gou's jealousy!

"Binfu, do you think the Zhao Guanjia will be mad and attack us again this time?"

At this time, in the post house in Jiankang City, two young people in their twenties were sitting around the fireplace talking, and it was this matter that they were talking about. These two young men are not subordinates of the Zhao family, but ministers of the new Han Dynasty, one is called Li Shifu, a native of Shaanxi, his father Li Yongqi is a general under Liu Qi, both father and son are deeply loved by Liu Qi, and the other is called Yu Yunwen, a native of Sichuan, and his father is Yu Qi, the head of the Wenchen on Hedong Road. It can be said that these two people are the descendants of important figures in the Xinhan regime, but they appear in Jiankang for their own reasons at this moment. Yu Yunwen came to Jiankang as Cao Guangbi's envoy to negotiate with Zhao Gou, while Li Shifu escorted Lin Yi all the way, and after arriving in Xuzhou, he turned back to Jiankang to go through some procedures.

Yu Yunwen added some charcoal, probed the wine pot again, and saw that the wine was just warm, so he lifted the pot and poured it for Li Shifu and himself respectively, and then said, "Do it?" He has this heart, but he is afraid that he doesn't have this courage, so he has this courage, and he is afraid that he doesn't have this strength! Now we have two roads in the east and west, he is very tightly guarded, not to mention the East China Sea, the Yangtze River estuary is still our world, there are four generals here, and they can smash their lair at any time like last time! As for Shandong, when General Zhao Li was guarding Shandong, he couldn't even enter Zongfu Zongbi, and he would be afraid of the Song army? And Qin Chuan ...... Hehe, I'm not as familiar with Qin Chuan as you are. ”

Li Shifu laughed and said: "This time, I was ordered by General Liu to go to Chang'an to protect Lord Lin Yi, but I have seen the appearance of the loyal army, such discipline, such training, and such old spicy, which is really admirable." Fortunately, the Jingyuan soldiers didn't start fighting, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether they would have been able to maintain their prestige in the northwest! If the Song army in Hanzhong does not come, if they dare to come, the loyal army will definitely tell them to go and never return! ”

Yu Yunwen smiled: "That's it, the Zhao official family is very afraid of death, and he won't fight if he is not sure." Now we have divided our forces to pay attention to the south, although the north is not strong enough because of this, but the south is defended, and the north can be safely attacked. Anyway, the Northeast has already won a great victory, as long as the general leads the main force of the Han army into the pass, Yan Yun will be decided! ”

When Li Shifu heard this, he couldn't help but rub his hands and said: "Fight back to Yanyun from the Northeast, my fists itch when I think of this!" I don't know if I'll be able to make it to this big battle! Hum! It's all to blame for the damn Southern Song Dynasty court, doing things so slowly! Don't miss our big deal! ”

Yu Yunwen smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, we have arrived at the center, and I am afraid that we will also stay in Liaoyang or Liaokou and Jinmen for a year and a half. I'm a scholar, and I'm fighting in the north, so I don't have the part to go to the battlefield, at most, I will take care of logistics in the back and cheer you on. It's a pity that Shifu didn't make it to this big battle. ”

Li Shifu also sighed: "That's too." In fact, there are millions of elite soldiers and good generals on this side of the East China Sea, so I can arrive in time, and I am afraid that it will not be my turn to go to the battlefield as a nobody! ”

It stands to reason that both of them are from the west, and they should go back to Qin and Jin after finishing their work, but Cao Guangbi and Liu Qi respectively told them not to return to the west, and after finishing their work in Jiangnan, they found a reason to go directly to the East China Sea to the center to obey orders.

It turned out that it was a practice for the Qin and Jin Dynasty important ministers to send their sons and nephews to the northeast center in the past two years, although this is a little "into the quality" meaning, but at the same time, it also has the meaning of focusing on the cultivation of the descendants of these important ministers and generals, which can be said to be one of the measures for the Han court center and local civil ministers and military generals to win trust with each other. This unwritten system is somewhat like the Langguan system in the Warring States and early Han dynasties. Go to the center to receive training, not to ask for people after that, you can't ask for it, there is a way that Jane is in the emperor's heart, the future is immeasurable, Yu Qi, Li Yongqi and others have made up their minds to be loyal to the new Han regime, so instead of objecting to this, they seem to be very active, and Yu Yunwen and Li Shifu These young people are also very active in going to the northeast center, after all, it is now the economic center, cultural source and political hub of the Chinese world, Yu Yunwen is certainly yearning for the cultural rule of southern Liaoning, Li Shifu is even more admirable for the martial arts of Fold, Xiao and so on. However, since they came to Jiangnan openly, they had to go to the East China Sea instead of going west, and they had to get the consent of the Southern Song court.

Li Shifu looked at the northeast and sighed: "I can't go to the battlefield this time, at least I have to find a way to meet the three generals and the six generals, among the famous generals of our Han army, I am afraid that only they can be compared with the second general and the sixth general!" That's right! Of course, the general also wants to see him, but he is about to ascend the throne, and he is a saint when he sees the general. Well, there are five generals, and there are also General Zhao, and there is General Wang...... Yes! I can't even count them! On the East China Sea side, even if it is a general, it is indeed stronger than Qin Jin's side! ”

"After all, this is the headquarters!" Yu Yunwen also followed him to look at the northeast and said, "Actually, I also want to meet some people, but it's a little different from you." ”

Li Shifu asked, "Who?" ”

Yu Yunwen smiled and said: "Naturally, the Prime Minister and the Seventh General, as well as famous ministers such as Er Chen, Confucian such as Hu Lao, Guan Ning School and Penglai School are all going to visit, and there must be a lot of young people over there." If you are lucky, I also hope to meet the world-famous Mrs. Zhao - although she is a woman, her words are really good! ”

The New Han Dynasty regime was open to the people and less restrained on women, so Li Qingzhao was able to lecture in Guan Ning and Penglai, and Yang Yingqi admired her very much, and often chanted her poems in private, so the reputation of this female scholar and female lyricist spread faster, faster and wider.

Li Shifu said with a smile: "Although I have heard of these people you said, it is ...... Hey, it's still the six generals, and they give me more hope. ”

Yu Yunwen said with a smile: "The civil and military are separated, this is the case. He added: "This time the Northeast victory should have been a big deal." It's just that Xiao Shuai burned Huining, and I heard that the killing was extremely cruel, which hurt the heavens and the peace. ”

"Hurt Tianhe? Hum! So what! Li Shifu said: "The Jin people killed my compatriots in Hebei and the Central Plains and insulted my women, and they were soft-hearted at that time!" Then he clapped his fist hatefully and said: "The most hated thing is that there are still traitors going south to help the Jin people attack Bianliang and Chen Cai!" Hum! These dog thieves have all forgotten their ancestors! ”

Yu Yunwen smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "The Jin people going south in this situation may not be a bad thing for our Han army!" "I was thinking about the situation in Henan, and suddenly the officials of the post house came to report, but it was Zhao Gou who gave a New Year's gift.

Li Shifu asked: "Do you accept this thing?" ”

Yu Yunwen said: "The state has provisions in the envoy's charter, and it is customary to be outside, even if the Zhao official family sends a gift, we are disrespectful, but after accepting it, we can't take it for ourselves, and when we go back, we will pay it all." ”

Li Shifu said: "Okay, then do it." ”

At that moment, the two of them accepted the gifts, and thanked Zhao Gou with polite courtesy, Yu Yunwen went out to inquire about the news from Yousi again, and came back to Li Shifu and said: "Our matter of returning to the center is done!" ”

Li Shifu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, Yu Yunwen said: "I have asked an official of the Ministry of Rites of the Small Imperial Court yesterday, and the official was about to slap me, so he promised to help us do this on the spot, but I didn't expect him to be so sharp!" Although the Jiangnan area of this matter is very secretive, the Han army knows about it, so it is often called a small court for the Southern Song Dynasty.

Li Shifuqi said: "The officials of the Ministry of Rites of the small imperial court, why do you want to scold you? ”

Yu Yunwen smiled and said: "I didn't understand this matter at first, but then he showed his tone and asked me to take care of it more in the future, and I only understood it after thinking about it!" Presumably, they found out that my father was in a high position in Hedong, so they came to talk to me. ”

Li Shifu was even more strange: "Although Lord Yu is in a high position, after all, he is the official of my Han Dynasty, what does it matter to them?" Suddenly he clapped his head and shouted, "I understand!" They are worried that this small court will not last long, so they must leave a foreshadowing in advance! ”

Yu Yunwen nodded and smiled: "Yes, it should be like this." ”

Li Shifu suddenly sighed, Yu Yunwen asked him what he sighed, Li Shifu said: "The hearts of the people in Jiangnan are like this, if there is a strong force at this time to go straight to Jiankang City, I am afraid that the destruction of the Zhao family will be between the backhand." ”

Yu Yunwen thought for a while and said: "That being said, it may be possible to conquer Jiankang, but it is difficult to say that it is difficult to conquer the entire Jiangnan, and it is also difficult to govern such a large area in the northeast center under this situation." At present, the most important thing is to calm Yanyun first. Yan Yun will not only collapse the Jin people, but also unify our east and west territories. As long as the north is unified, why worry about Wu Shu's injustice? ”
