When the south of the Yangtze River, where Zhao Gou and others are located, has already been full of flowers, green mountains and green waters, and boating on the West Lake, the land of Hebei is the snow melting, the grass roots are green, and spring has just begun.

On the canal, on a large ship, several men dressed as Song officials stood on the deck, talking in low voices. From a distance, several people occasionally argued, and then they all shook their heads frequently, showing quite helplessness.

"In the past, Taizu was ordered to take over the power of the town, and the world has been Jingning for 70 years, which shows that the law of the ancestors is good! Who would have thought that when the country was in turmoil and the imperial court was displaced, the story of the five dynasties of feudal towns reappeared in Hebei, which made people think like crazy! ”

The elegant old man was about fifty years old, with three long beards, and his face was worried. This person was one of the courtiers who entered King Qinqin in Beijing that day, Zhang Shuye.

As an old minister of the court with a good official reputation, and had a harmonious relationship with Wang Song, Zhang Shuye was quickly brought out of the corner as the envoy of the court.

The other messenger was Liu Tao, an old minister who had almost the same experience as Zhang Shuye, and at this moment he was caressing his white beard, his brows were tightly locked, and he was obviously preoccupied.

In fact, it was quite embarrassing to push Uncle Zhang out at this time. Because when Wang Song's army was defeated in Fuzhou and was on the line of life and death, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others once played the role of demolitionists in a disgraceful manner.

It's just that today's Great Song Dynasty has taken care of so much. In their opinion, as long as the characters can be used, cats and dogs, they have to give it a try.

"The old law of the ancestors, the Quartet is naturally good. However, the country is difficult, the Quartet is defending, and the strength is weak, so that the Jin people are raging, and the court is helpless. To save the malpractice today, we must restore the law of the feudal town, and choose people to make good use of it, so that it can be effective. For example, Wang Song, if the imperial court treats him well, I'm afraid there will be no today!"

Liu Tao has always had a good impression of Wang Song. The two have been together in Tokyo for a month and have a very good relationship.

Several people went all the way north, and met the patrol loyal and righteous warships on the Bianhe River, and they were escorted all the way to Hebei.

All the way north, I saw along the way, the people were still poor, but the fields were busy, the poor were happy, the order was orderly, and it was a thriving scene.

Especially in Hebei, what I saw and heard was refreshing.

The green fields are full of rivers, and there are few idle fields; Ships come and go on the canal, and traders run along the way; Children playing in the fields, white-haired old men washing their hair and blowing them off, farmers busy in the fields, bustling markets, clean and bustling ferries......

Compared with the bandits and mobs in Jiangnan and other places, this place is already a paradise on earth.

What shocked everyone even more was that those tiger and wolf warriors on the river boats, on the ferries, and on the side of the post road, all of them were tall and tall, and the colors of wind and frost were fully displayed, even if they were the most elite forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty, they were nothing more than that.

Moreover, this is still the inland guard of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and those hundred battles on the border, I don't know how fierce and ferocious they are?

Merchant ships loaded with goods headed south. The front and rear of these cargo ships are all the sailor warships of the loyal and righteous army, and the guns on them are secluded, and the sailors and soldiers are fierce and fierce, which is daunting.

"The sailors of the imperial court are only afraid that they will not be as good as Hebei."

Cao Xun was worried, and Liu Tao was also in a daze. I haven't seen him for a few years, and Wang Song's power is getting stronger and stronger.

"If you can't persuade Wang Song to return to the court this time, I'm afraid that in this world, I will have to be surnamed Wang in the future."

After a long time, Uncle Zhang spit out a sentence at night.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy! The Jurchen soldiers are strong and strong, and they are not so easy to deal with!"

Cao Xunyou is hard at the mouth. Even if Wang Song will not return to the rule of the imperial court, he does not want Wang Song to sit big and easily win the world of the Great Song Dynasty.

"In the first battle of Shaanxi, the loyal and righteous army broke the golden people, and Wanyan Lou was killed, who else in the world can fight against the loyal and righteous army!"

Liu Tao was moved. he

It is difficult to win a battle with Wanyan Lou Room, but the loyal army can break the Jurchen elite. How can Cao Xun, a forbidden eunuch, understand the strength of these hard shoulders on the battlefield.

"Old General Liu, although the loyal and righteous army has broken the thieves, it has also suffered heavy losses. The two tigers fought each other, and they all suffered heavy losses, presumably in the past two years, there would be no war in the north. ”

Zhang Shuye was worried about the casualties of the loyal army. In his opinion, after the loyal army suffered heavy casualties, it would inevitably take a period of time to recover, and the imperial court could live in peace.

"Master Zhang, having said that, as you and I have seen all the way, tigers and wolves can be seen everywhere, and there are traces of a shortage of soldiers and major generals. Don't forget, Wang Song trains soldiers, but he is unparalleled in the world. If he is not sure, how can he fight the first battle of Shaanxi, is he not afraid of being attacked on his back? ”

Liu Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly, Uncle Zhang lowered his head and sighed, Cao Xun also frowned, and everyone was uneasy.

"When I arrived in Hebei, I saw Wang Song, hoping that he could change his mind, return to the imperial court, and not repeat the disaster of the feudal town."

Uncle Zhang's face was gloomy and he muttered to himself, Cao Xun was irritable in his heart, and couldn't help but speak: "Could it be that Princess Roufu can't make Wang Song change his mind?"

On the day of Wang Song's wedding, the two imperial relatives personally persuaded Wang Song, but Wang Song was noncommittal. I'm afraid the princess can't help either. This time, we can only do our best. ”

Do your best, but I'm afraid that you will return in vain. Even if Wang Song agreed to return to the imperial court, how could his arrogant soldiers and hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves be willing?

The people did not make a big fuss, but came with holy decrees and rewards. Everyone didn't have to think about it, they also knew that this move was to take care of the face of the Great Song royal family, and they were even more emotionally moved by the disaster of Wang Song's town, which made the Great Song royal family lose face.

Everyone got off the boat at the Daimyo's Mansion, and the sergeant at the ferry came forward to inspect the personnel, boats, documents and other items, and did not let them go until they were checked correctly, which also made Zhang Shuye and his party very annoyed.

His party represents the Great Song Dynasty, and the royal family is Zhengshuo, and it is really humiliating to be treated like this!

However, when they saw Wang Song waiting in person on the ferry, both of them were hot in their hearts, and Fang Cai's unhappiness was completely left behind.

From the farewell of Bianliang City, to Wang Song's leading troops north, seriously injured for several months, and then to the southward movement of the Great Song Dynasty, it is said that everyone has not seen each other for three years.

Only Cao Xun in the back was full of frost, but when he saw Wang Song appear, his face immediately changed with a spring breeze and a different face.

"The two prime ministers, Cao Gong, and Wang Song are polite!"

Wang Song's bow made everyone's hearts inexplicably balanced, and the next words made everyone nod and sigh secretly.

"These guards have not received a notice from the palace, and if the Lord is afraid that the news will leak and cause the people to watch, there will be a sea of people, and you may not be able to get off the ship. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Wang Xianggong, I can't imagine that the old man can still see you before his death, and when he sees that you are safe and sound, the old man can be regarded as dead without regrets!"

Although Zhang Shuye has many prejudices against Wang Song, he can see that Wang Song is safe and sound, and he is also relieved.

"It's not because of you! If you hadn't detained the troops in Taiyuan, you wouldn't have been bruised all over your body and almost died; Tens of thousands of soldiers will not be strewn with corpses all over the field, so why are the northern captives so rampant?"

Wang Song's words, the cold faces of the surrounding guards, made Uncle Zhang sigh and slam to the ground.

"Xianggong Wang, the old man has apologized to you."

Wang Song accepted his salute and helped him up, then turned his head and looked at Liu Tao and Cao Xun.

"Wang Xianggong, you can come back from your injuries and kill the golden people, and God treats me well for the people of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Liu Tao shook his face again and again, smiling. He and Wang Song did not have a holiday, they had a good relationship, and their hearts were naturally much calmer.

"Wang Xianggong, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xianggong has always been

Okay?"

Cao Xun was also full of smiles. As the three envoys of the imperial court, the henchmen of Zhao Ji's father and son, he is the real core.

"Everyone, let's go into the city and talk."

Everyone got into the carriage and headed down the wide cement road towards the Daimyo Castle. Zhang Shuye and others couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw the good road conditions, the neat trees beside the road, and the unique lanes and sidewalks.

Especially at the intersection of Xicheng, there are two government personnel dressed as public servants directing traffic. In a brick room next to the road, the sign at the entrance of the "Street Division" is clearly visible.

When they arrived at the city gate, the guards who pointed to them carefully checked everyone's documents, meticulously, and when they saw Wang Song in the carriage, they returned the documents respectfully, and asked the soldiers to quickly give way.

Zhang Shuye curiously took Wang Song's certificate, only to see that the red and white cover was written "ID card", and the columns inside were written Wang Song's basic information:

"Name, Wang Song; Word broken slave;

Nationality: Han nationality.

Age: 26 years old.

Occupation: Soldier.

Hometown: Daxin store, Yiyang County, Henan Province, Dasong Dynasty;

Features: 6 feet 6 inches tall, thick eyebrows and square face. ”

Zhang Shuye continued to read, and in the position column of the last line, there were a few big characters: the presidential system of the Great Song Dynasty Loyal and Righteous Army, Lianghe, and Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy.

Uncle Zhang's heart was relieved, it seemed that this Wang Song was still a nostalgic person, and he still had the official title of the Great Song Dynasty, so things would be much easier to do.

That night, the staggered planning, the original Banrui Palace, the current Xuanfu Division was very lively, everyone during the banquet was staggered, and a group of generals ate happily.

Wang Song drank frequently, and before half of the banquet, Wang Song was already drunk and was carried down by the guards. Zhang Shuye, Liu Tao and others were helpless, even though they knew that Wang Song was pretending to be crazy and stupid, they were helpless.

"Gong Zhang, General Liu, according to the following opinion, you have to wait until Yanyun is restored, Le Ma Yanran, and Huanglong are smashed before you can talk about the court's obedience, otherwise it will be a mediocre person who disturbs himself, and it will only backfire!"

Guo Yong whispered to Uncle Zhang: "Duke Chu, please see, all the generals and staff members at this banquet are all drawn by Wang Xianggong. The grace of knowing is as bright as the sun and the moon, comparable to regenerating parents. In the land of two rivers, they only looked at Wang Song's face, and how could they be willing to submit to the imperial court, willing to be gossip of scholars and doctors, and look up to people. ”

Several people followed the direction of his finger, all watching carefully, pricking up their ears to listen.

"Zhang Xian, the presidential system of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army. Wang Song had the grace to save his life, and promoted him to Weimo, and never questioned Wang Song's military order!"

"Niu Gao, the vice presidential system of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army. It turned out to be just an archer from the Lushan County Ya. As soon as Wang Songfu met, he entrusted him with the command of the army, and he trusted him. His son Niu Tong is also in command of the first army, and now he is facing the Jin people on the front line of Hejian Province. His father and son were loyal to Wang Song and never had two hearts. ”

"Yue Fei, the former commander of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army. Although Yue Pengju only joined the Loyal and Righteous Army last winter, like Zhang Xian, Wang Song not only had a life-saving grace for him, but also favored him. Yue Pengju can betray anyone, but there will never be Wang Song. His subordinate generals Xu Qing, Wang Gui and others are all from his countrymen, and only his horse is the first to look forward. ”

The more Uncle Zhang listened, the paler his face became, and the wine in the cup became tasteless.

"Li Yanxian, a lowly grass man at the end of the world, has been the commander of the loyal and righteous army of Hezhong Mansion in less than three years."

"Zhang Heng, the vice president of the Loyal and Righteous Army, Wang Song's right-hand man, and a veteran general. Deng Shixiong, vice president of the Loyal and Righteous Army, Wang Song's right-hand man, brother in life and death. These two people were in charge of the training of non-commissioned officers, the production of firearms, and the financial affairs of the army, and they were Wang Song's sworn friends. ”

And they were dumbfounded. Cao Xun was depressed, and soon fell unconscious and was helped down.
