"At this time, the circulation of heavenly fortune, the Central Plains is vigorous, and among the billions of trillions, when a saint is born, the Hulu is expelled, China is restored, the Chen Ji is established, and the people are relieved."

In the back hall of the Yamen of Xizhou Zhizhou, Liu Xi frowned and looked at the newspaper in front of him.

The sunlight slanted in from the outside, shining on the blue brick floor, and the hall was warm. The autumn sun is warm but unpleasant, subtle but not outward, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, but not self-indulgent.

"For example, the party and the Fan people, although they are not of the Chinese race, but between the same heaven and earth, there are those who can know the Chinese etiquette and righteousness and are willing to be subjects, which is no different from the Chinese people. Therefore, I would like to inform you that it is advisable to know. ”

After a long time, he sighed, put down the newspaper, and muttered in his mouth: "I didn't expect that so soon, the loyal army would use troops against the Xia people!"

Since Yaozhou's defeat in the first battle, he has become depressed and unsettled.

The Huanqing Road slightly caused Zhao Zhe to be killed, the Jingyuan Road slightly made Qu Duan die unjustly, and the Qin Feng Road slightly made Sun Wei depressed and uneasy, and he suffered from the cold.

And he and Qu Duan's former subordinate Wu Jue became the ruler of all roads in Shaanxi, and overnight, he became his boss.

"Those who belong to me will always be in China, and those who carry me will run outside the fortress. Cover my Chinese people, and heaven will command my Chinese people to be in peace, and how can they be governed! ”

In his early 20s, he is handsome, and Liu Xi's youngest brother Liu Rui is also holding a newspaper, reading it carefully, and reading it is also catchy.

In fact, there were only two of his brothers in the back hall, and the rest of the sergeants were guarding and waiting from a distance outside, and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter.

"Big brother, it seems that Wang Song is really going to use troops against the Xia people. Could it be that he really has such a strong force?"

Liu Rui shook his head, his face was full of surprise, and then continued to watch.

In just a few years, the Loyal and Righteous Army has grown from scratch, from small to large, and has developed into a pivotal team, even compared with the imperial court, it is not the same.

In this regard, Liu Xike has the most right to speak.

In the first battle of Yaozhou, the Wulu West Army was defeated, the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were ambushed for hundreds of miles. Who knew that the loyal and righteous army took over the battlefield, and after a hard battle, the Jin people lost their troops and lost 60,000 or 70,000 elite soldiers, not to mention, even the Jurchen god of war Wanyan Lou Room was also killed on the battlefield.

In the past, the invincible Jurchen Iron Cavalry was no match for the loyal and righteous army, which accounted for the majority of infantry, and its strong combat power naturally could not be compared with the Song army.

"Brother Jiu once replied that the training methods of the Loyal and Righteous Army are all ingenious, the soldiers are not afraid of death, and the firearms are extremely sharp!"

Liu Rui said yearningly: "Brother Jiu said in the letter that Wang Song loves soldiers like sons, and the imperial soldiers are extremely strict, and everywhere he goes, he has not committed any crimes in autumn, and he has the essence of the famous generals of the ancients."

The ninth brother in Liu Rui's mouth is Liu Qi, the commander of the first army in the Loyal and Righteous Army, and he is also the commander of the expedition to Western Xia.

Hearing Liu Rui praise his ninth brother, Liu Xi's face sank suddenly, and when Liu Qi left, the scene of the two brothers arguing appeared in front of him again.

"Brother Nine on the left, Brother Nine on the right, don't mention him in the future!"

Liu Xi said with a dark face: "I have been out for several years, and my Hun family and son have not come back to see, how can I look like a husband and a father!"

Liu Rui quietly stuck out his tongue, and then asked softly: "Big brother, I heard that the imperial court wants you to lead your troops to Jinghu to deal with Mrs. Yang's thief army, yes or no?"

Hu Guang's Yang Tai is getting more and more noisy, and has already occupied Jinghu South Road, and Jinghu North Road also accounts for most of it. The Great Song Dynasty lost its troops and generals, and Li Gangbu, the Xuanfu Division of Huguang, was defeated for thousands of miles, and the imperial army suffered heavy losses.

Unexpectedly, in order to deal with the thief army, the imperial court thought of the remnants of the Western Army in Shaanxi, and it seemed that it was indeed too anxious to take care of it.

The imperial court did this, and Shaanxi did not plan to ask for it. Once the Western Xia took the opportunity to attack, what should happen to the Li people left behind in Shaanxi?

Once these Shaanxi children arrive in the south, they will not adapt to the water and soil, and they will be constrained by others left and right, and it is especially unknown whether they will be able to return to their homeland in Shaanxi at that time.

Besides, is Yang Qibu so easy to deal with?

Liu Xi smiled bitterly and asked, "Brother Eleven, now that the food and salary of the imperial court are intermittent, the sergeants under the account are already complaining. If we don't go, the food and salaries will be cut off, and sooner or later the morale of the army will be dispersed. If we go, Western Xia will take advantage of the situation and the people will suffer, how can we be at ease?"

Liu Rui nodded and said, "What the eldest brother said is that this matter should be considered carefully!"

In fact, what is there to consider, the facts are in front of you, leading troops to the south, Shaanxi is empty, leading troops to stay, food and salary are cut off, you can only rely on yourself, and sooner or later you will be beaten back to its original shape.

"It's better to write a letter to Brother Jiu and let him take over Xihe!"

Liu Rui said cautiously: "Anyway, the loyal army has already controlled most of Shaanxi......"

"Hugh wants to mention him!"

Before Liu Rui's words fell, Liu Xi's face had sunk.

He was just about to get angry, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and he saw the calm tenth brother Liu Zhao holding a letter, with beads of sweat on his head, and walked in happily.

"Big brother, this is a letter to you, it was sent by Brother Jiu, and the guard who delivered the letter is outside!"

Liu Zhao is dressed as a scholar, and his figure is relatively thin, and he looks like a weak scholar.

"What's so happy, why didn't he come back himself and send a letter!"

As soon as Liu Zhao's words fell, Liu Xi had a black face and disciplined his younger brother.

Although he said this, Liu Xi still snatched the letter from the tenth brother's hand, opened the letter and read it carefully.

After a while, he put the letter on the bookcase and let out a long sigh.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you, could it be that something went wrong with Brother Jiu?"

Liu Rui and Liu Zhao saw that the eldest brother was indifferent, thinking that something had happened to Liu Qi, and hurriedly asked.

"What could he do?"

Liu Xi shook his head, pointed to the letter on the table and said, "Look at it, don't make a sound!"

The two brothers were puzzled, Liu Zhao picked up the letter and read it with his younger brother.

"Big brother, this is a letter from Wang Song of the Loyal and Righteous Army to you!"

Liu Rui couldn't help but scream.

"What are you yelling, let you keep your voice out!"

Liu Xi scolded in a low voice: "If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it will inevitably be a disaster for the family!"

Liu Rui hurriedly nodded again and again, and then looked carefully.

In this land of Shaanxi, with today's situation, who can move their brothers in the slightest.

"I can't imagine that Brother Jiu has followed Wang Song for just a few years, and he is already a handsome man in the summer!"

Liu Rui was surprised: "Wang Song looks up to Brother Jiu so much, it can be regarded as fulfilling his life's ambition!"

"What's so strange about this!"

Liu Zhao shook his head and said abruptly: "In my Western Army, Brother Jiu, whether it is Wen Taowu or his personal ambition, is one in a hundred. Wang Xianggong values the ninth brother so much, it can be said that he has a discerning eye, this is the hero who does great things!"

Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!

"Brother Ten, what do you think?"

Liu Xi took a look at his tenth brother Liu Zhao. He and his second brother-in-law fought outside all the year round, and everything in the rear and at home was taken care of by the tenth brother Liu Zhao. The tenth brother is thoughtful and well-organized, so he wants to find the answer from the tenth brother.

After all, this is the big thing that determines the fate of the family.

"I heard that in the first battle of Fuzhou that year, the loyal and righteous army had nearly 20,000 horses, and in the end there were only a few hundred people left, and the most elite Lou room army of the Jurchens was severely damaged, and none of them retreated and surrendered."

Liu Zhao said in a deep voice: "Big brother, Wang Xianggong has set up an official government under his rule, and he has all the land, suppressed mergers, and prospered

Building roads and water conservancy, persuading agriculture and mulberry farming, smelting iron and opening mines, developing commerce and trade, and running schools are the business of the king. It is also the prosperity of its military prestige, and it is the best in the world. It is clear which is strong and which is weak. As for how to choose, it's up to the eldest brother. ”

What he said was strong and weak was naturally compared with the Great Song Dynasty. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Liu Xi also knew it, and lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"Big brother, what are you hesitating about!"

The fourth brother Liu Rui was an anxious son, for fear that his eldest brother would choose the wrong path, and the words in his mouth burst out like a cannon.

"The Great Song Dynasty is now in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the restoration of the north, whether it can carry it over is still unknown. Manchu scholars and doctors, incorruptible and shameful people abound. Let's just say that Zhao Ji made the Great Song Dynasty almost die, and the people were miserable, such an emperor, such a court, what else can be followed!"

With such a court, what else can be followed?

This is not the point, the point is, what can the Liu family get?

The court of the Great Song Dynasty is already shining in winter, and it is still breathing, and the loyal army is like the rising sun in summer, shining brightly, and even the Jin people dare not beat its edge, not to mention Zhao Song who is in a corner of peace.

The Liu family is no longer what it used to be. The Great Song Dynasty moved south, trapped in thieves, and the peasant army sat big, where did these remnants of Shaanxi still take to heart!

"The Liu family is full of loyalty, if we can unite with the outside world, participate in righteous deeds, protect the township, seal the wolf Juxu, Le Ma Yanran, raise the prestige of China, and return the peace of China for thousands of years...... The Liu family is famous in history, a lifetime of wealth, and the blessing of Zuo lasts for ......"

Liu Xi picked up the letter again and read it for a while, then stood up and paced slowly around the lobby.

After a while, he suddenly stopped, his eyes firm, as if he had made up his mind.

"A good bird chooses a tree to rest, and a virtuous minister chooses the lord to do things. They are all people of my brilliant China, and they are not deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, and recognizing thieves as fathers! . ”

He said in a low voice: "I have made up my mind, take refuge in Wang Xianggong, and assist the ninth brother to pacify Western Xia." Brother 10, Brother 11, what do you think?"

He was the head of the family, and when he said so, his two younger brothers probably wouldn't say anything. Liu Xi asked like this, just to give himself firm confidence.

Liu Rui said happily: "Big brother, we all believe in you. If you vote for Wang Song, you don't have to go to the south and leave your hometown. ”

"Brother Eleven, you don't want to have a Wang Song on the left and a Wang Song on the right in your mouth in the future, you have to call Wang Xianggong, you must pay attention to the etiquette!"

Liu Rui's face turned red and nodded again and again. Now that he has voted for Wang Song, the brothers can be reunited, which not only protects the local people, but also fulfills the righteousness of brothers, which really makes him happy.

Liu Zhao frowned, and then said, "Big brother, the two of us naturally listen to you." It's just that the soldiers in this army, you still have to think about appeasing it. Some people had a bad quarrel with Brother Jiu back then, and Brother Jiu ran away because of them. These things, the eldest brother still has to be properly settled. ”

Once you vote for the Loyal and Righteous Army, even if you have Liu Qi to take care of you, you will do things according to the faces of others. These arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in the army are all unruly, regard military discipline as nothing, and if they don't give good advice, something big will happen sooner or later.

Liu Xi also frowned, nodded and said, "This is natural, I will send someone to find the generals in the army and talk to them about this matter."

There are thousands of officers and men in the army, and all kinds of people must be appeased, otherwise the army's morale will be unstable and it will inevitably cause serious incidents.

The sergeant came over and said softly: "Xianggong, there are many officers and soldiers in the army, and they are waiting in the lobby now, saying that they have something to tell Xianggong."

The three brothers looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Seeing Liu Xi enter the lobby, the generals knelt on the ground, and the leader shouted loudly: "Xianggong, please, the brothers don't want to go south to ask for any thieves." Everyone is gone, what will the people here do?"

Liu Xi's heart was relieved, and he stepped forward and said, "Brothers, hurry up, I have something to say."
