"Why are you here?" Seeing Cao Guangbi and Yang Yingqi, Ouyang Shi said unhappily: "Didn't you say that I would take care of this matter?" At the beginning, I made an appointment with you that it would be completed before February, but now there is more than a month left, what are you anxious about! ”

Yang Yingqi hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, we don't mean to distrust you. But look! Taking out an edict, Ouyang Shi opened it and saw that it was an edict from Ah Gu to Yang Yingqi to cut Liao: "Liao politics is not outlined, and people and gods abandon it." Today's fate of the country is that Hao Bo Ji Liegao (oblique) commanded the army to carry out a crusade, and the southern Liaoning capital was folded and Yan Chong was the governor of the grain road, and he should be good at raising food and wages, in order to continue. ”

Ouyang Shi glanced at it and exclaimed, "This is Liao?" So fast? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "The autumn rain just stopped, and Zong Han urged to cut Liao. The lord of the country has ordered that all the internal and external armies should be unified with Zong Han, Zong Wang, Zong Qi, and Zong Xiong as the deputies, the eldest brother will supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and Yelu Yu will be the forward, and he will approach the capital of Daliao Zhongjing. ”

Ouyang Shi asked him, "What about you?" And the fifth and sixth olds, what arrangements do they have? ”

"I'm the eldest brother's deputy. The fifth child was sent to the Jurchen in the East China Sea to take care of the rear, and the six slaves would go south from Linhuang Mansion to join the division. Cao Guangbi said: "This time I came out under the pretext of illness, and I transferred 800 idle soldiers and horses from Liaokou to here!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I have prepared for the army's food and salary, but the specific matters are actually done by Yang Pu. This time, I got on the boat and said that I was going to Liaokou to inspect the grain road, but in fact, I met my second brother to come to look for you. We can't delay any longer, we have to do it quickly! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "The time has not come, how to do it?" That Yelu Dashi patrols the border all day long, and there is no gap to build a port! ”

Yang Yingqi exclaimed when he heard this name: "Yelu Dashi! ”

Ouyang Shi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Yang Yingqi groaned: "I just vaguely remember that he is not an easy character. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Your spy report is really meticulous!" Yes, this man does have two hits, and I can't find any flaws in him these days. ”

Yang Yingqi asked, "Does he already know that we are going to build a port?" ”

"I don't know. Our boats were all parked on the sand island south of the Jiehe River, which the Khitans could not see. If he had known that we were coming, he would have kept his eyes on the cape, instead of walking back and forth as he did now. Ouyang Shi said: "I figured it out, he should have heard that someone here in the Great Song Dynasty bought wood and sand and stone in large quantities, and he was suspicious, so he came to patrol the border." But what we're going to do, he probably hasn't figured it out yet. ”

Yang Yingqi pondered for a moment and said: "When the three of us brothers are here, there will be no gaps to create gaps!" After thinking for a while, he had an idea: "The Liao people have been a lot looser about the south recently, and they originally hoped that the port dock would be completed first without them paying attention, and then the troops would build the city, but now there is only the other way around-let's let the soldiers and horses land first, and then build the port!" ”

Ouyang Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "Without a port, how can things go ashore?" Besides, there is no city defense on the north bank of the Jiehe River, how to resist the impact of the Khitan cavalry? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I borrowed a lot of manpower from the third brother this time, and brought half a boatload of good things!" I hope to build a coastal embankment in the shortest possible time! Let's hold on to this wall first, and then let the sappers slowly start working behind the wall! ”

Ouyang Shi frowned and said, "An embankment wall, can it be defended?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "My plan is more than that, but the lord of the country launched too fast, and many things can only be carried out in advance, so it is a little hasty." ”

Cao Guangbi asked, "How many men and horses does that Yelu Dashi have?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "There are about more than 2,000 people. ”

Cao Guangbi sneered: "Okay, after landing, I will deal with him, you can worry about anything else." ”

Ouyang Shi said: "In this case, you have to use a small boat to transport the soldiers and horses of the big ship ashore first!" Then the tents, then the fences, and finally the mud bricks! ”

Yang Yingqi asked, "How long will it take?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "It will take about half a day to move all ashore!" ”

"Half a day...... It will take about a day to build that embankment wall, and then it will take another day to solidify......" Yang Yingqi turned his head: "Can you work at night?" ”

"Well, yes, but slowly."

"That's good! Let's find a dusk and start doing it, so it won't be so easy to spot. But before that, we have to transfer that Yelu Dashi for a few days! Well, in this matter, you have to ask the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to help. ”

――――――

The end of the year is approaching, and Wang Gui and Li Yinggu are discussing what other benefits they can get in this matter.

It turned out that they had already Pegasus to ask Tong Guan for credit, and the article was very beautiful and decently written, to the effect that it was about how the general of the Jin Kingdom was arrogant and stingy, and the 100,000 stone grain and grass almost failed to turn over, but fortunately, Wang Gui dealt with it skillfully, which not only made the general of the Jin Kingdom turn his anger into joy, but also maintained the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty and Tong Taishi! Later, the general of the Jin State had another problem and asked them to build a port for the ships to stop, which was not only costing the people's efforts, but also violated the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty. Fortunately, Li Yinggu made a slight plan, not only said that the Jin people went to the Khitan territory to build a port and open a dock, but also asked the Jin general to contribute his own money and efforts!

The two discussed this letter that was created by Luo Xianqi, drafted by Wang Gui, and polished by Li Yinggu, and they both felt that Master Tong must be happy to see it, and his promotion and fortune are just around the corner! Just as he was talking about the benefits, suddenly Luo Xianqi came to report: "General Ouyang invites the two adults to meet on the boat." ”

When they heard this, they both thought, "What's going on again?" At this time, they had already dealt with Ouyang Shi a few times, and they were not as timid as before, so they came towards the sea. got on the boat, Ouyang Shi was already waiting there, setting up a sumptuous banquet.

The two of them felt strange when they saw that Ouyang Shi was polite and respectful, which was very different from their previous arrogance. After three rounds of drinking, Wang Gui asked tentatively: "General Ouyang doesn't know what important things to discuss when he sees the invitation this time?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "This table of wine and food, firstly, is to express a little apology from the general, and secondly, to say goodbye to the two." ”

Wang and Li exclaimed, "What apologies? Where is the general going? ”

Ouyang Shi sighed: "Ben will be incompetent, he boasted about Haikou at the beginning, saying that he would rely on his own ability to land and build a port, who knew that Liao would come so quickly!" Now that the bricks and tiles are ready, he has wandered in the north of the boundary, so how can I wait to get ashore? If you can't even board the shore, how can you build a port? ”

Wang Gui said: "This ...... So what does General Ouyang mean that he doesn't want to build a port? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Yes." ”

"Then ......" Li Yinggu asked tentatively: "The 100,000 stones of grain and grass ......"

"Grain and grass...... Ouyang Shi glanced at them and said, "When Master Tong comes, you can notify me to send it." ”

Li Yinggu and Wang Gui's faces were like a layer of pig blood, and they were so anxious that their necks were red. Li Yinggu couldn't help but say, "General Ouyang, how can you go back on your word like this?" "The letter that I thought about repaying for my merits had already been sent, but when Tong Guan came, he didn't see anything, is there any hope for his career?

Ouyang Shi said casually: "It's not that I went back on my word, it's that I really can't get on the other side." Anyway, the agreement between me and Master Tong didn't say when the grain and grass would be given to him. ”

Li Yinggu and Wang Gui glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts: "You didn't promise him, but we have already repaid him!" "I hated that letter to death!

Wang Gui persuaded: "General Ouyang, is there no room for recovery at all?" In this way, we will immediately recruit people, how about building a port in the Cangzhou sea boundary? ”

Ouyang Shi's heart moved when he heard this, it would be much easier to build a port in Cangzhou, and then he changed his mind: "No!" If construction starts in the south, no matter how big and good the port is, the grain will have to be returned to the Great Song Dynasty. Could it be that we are really here this time to deliver food and grass to Tong Guan? But building a port north on the north side of the Jiehe River is very different! Build every inch and inch can be firmly grasped in your hands! Although Ying Qi said that 'the two countries of Jin and Song will return the port to the Great Song Dynasty if the settlement is clear', it is difficult to say whether the two countries can settle clearly! Even if it is really delivered, hehe, the port that fell into my Ouyang Shi's pocket, it is not so easy to get it back! He sighed, "No, no! ”

Wang and Li asked together, "Why not?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Isn't building a port in Cangzhou inconsistent with your country's ancestral system?" In fact, he doesn't care if he is in line with the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, but if he has the intention to make things difficult, there is no reason to find a reason to come out.

Li Yinggu ate and said: "This ...... Even if there is an ancestral system, it can also be flexible. ”

Ouyang Shi still shook his head: "I always feel that it is not appropriate." ”

Wang Gui asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "I said that this grain and grass should be given to Master Tong in person. In this way, when Master Tong comes, you will build the port first, and then as long as the sea breeze is smooth, I will bring the grain and grass. ”

If he had said this when they first met, Wang and Li would have no opinion, but how could they let him go like this now? Say that "the sea breeze is good" will come, what if the sea breeze is not good? What's more, since he has already asked Master Tong for credit, if Tong Guan finds nothing when he arrives, how can he get it?

But Ouyang Shi said that if he didn't do it, he wouldn't do it, and he was stubborn to death on this issue! Wang Gui begged him in a low voice not to break the appointment, but he refused to change his words, Li Yinggu made sarcastic remarks about him, and he ignored him. The more the two sides talked, the more stiff they became, Li Yinggu said it heavily, Ouyang Shi was furious, got up with his sleeves, and was about to leave.

Wang and Li were in a hurry, thinking about how this originally very cooperative general of the Jin State suddenly became "arrogant and stingy", and Wang Gui didn't know how to deal with it skillfully, and Li Yinggu couldn't do anything tricky, seeing that this negotiation was about to collapse, Li Yinggu's curtain bin Luo Xianqi stepped forward and knelt down and said: "General Ouyang, the two adults are angry!" There is a plan for late life, but you can retreat from Yelu Dashi! ”

Ouyang Shi sighed, stopped, Li Yinggu was also happy, and hurriedly asked Ji Jiang's peace.

Luo Xianqi said: "Actually, the Liao people will come, which was expected by General Ouyang. The difficulty now is just that this Jelu stone came too quickly! ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "Not bad!" If he comes a few days late, I won't be afraid of him when I'm ready on the north shore. ”

Luo Xianqi said: "In this way, as long as you lead this Yelu stone away for a few days, so that the general can calmly arrange it, you can achieve success?" ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "Yes!" Three to five days is enough! ”

"That's easy!" Luo Xianqi said: "As long as there is a misfortune to lead the water to the west." ”

Li Yinggu and Wang Gui were surprised when they heard this, and asked, "Where do you lead?" ”

Luo Xianqi said: "That Liao will come here, I think I heard that I have some moves, but obviously I don't know carefully, so I parked the soldiers and horses between the northern boundary of Qingzhou and the northern boundary of Cangzhou, instead of stationing them directly on the seaside!" ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "I want to come like this." ”

Luo Xianqi said: "In this case, if there is a bigger situation on the Xiongzhou side, I am afraid that he will go there." ”

Li Yinggu and Wang Gui's eyes lit up, but Ouyang Shi shook his head and said, "Now your army of the Great Song Northern Expedition has not yet arrived!" What can be the situation in Xiongzhou! ”

Wang Gui smiled: "Xiongzhou wants to have a situation, but this is easy!" ”
