Chapter 598: Unifying the Central Plains

Along the way, the torrential rain was still pouring, but all this did not cause too much trouble to the coalition officers and soldiers wearing felt coats and hats.

It's just that Zhecongruan inadvertently discovered that the soldiers of the Li Jiajun were wearing special leather medium-cut combat boots on their feet, while the officers and soldiers of the Zhejia Army were straw sandals on their feet.

After careful observation, Zhe Congruan made a further astonishing discovery that Li Jiajun's medium-barreled leather combat boots could ensure that the soldiers' feet were not wet even if they waded through stagnant water.

Zhe Congruan nodded secretly and sighed, judging from the details bit by bit, Li Wuyi's pre-war preparations have been meticulous to an outrageous degree.

After setting off on the road, after one or two short marching breaks, Zhecongruan keenly found that the work under the feet of the Li Jiajun was far better than that of the Zhejiajun.

On the ground in the great northwest, the mobility of the infantry of the Zhejia Army is the second most modest, and no one dares to claim to be the first.

However, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods!

Compared with the soldiers of the Li family army, who are walking like flying and don't know how tired, the soldiers of the folded family are simply too inferior, so that a large number of officers and soldiers have fallen behind.

After Li Zhongyi learned of the situation, he touched his chin, but he thought of another thing: Obviously, the people below wanted to secretly call for strength and give the Zhejiajun a dismount.

Although the Zhi and Li families are allies, it is as if there are suddenly two tigers in a mountain, and the generals on the Li family's side dare not bully the generals of the Zhi family openly, but they can let the Erlang of the Zhi family know that they are powerful through their secret shouting.

Regarding the hands and feet of the people under him, Li Zhongyi didn't say much. After all, there are a large number of people who have been left behind in the folded army. It has slowed down the advance of the Great Army.

Allies are allies after all, and Li Zhongyi quietly issued a military order. Instead, march for an hour and rest for a quarter of an hour.

It was time to rest again, and not long after Zhi Yunshui sat down, he saw Li Zhongyi's herald come to the door and whispered a shocking good news: Li Zhongyi asked Zhi Yunshui to send someone to collect the combat boots.

After Zhi Yunshui learned the news, he was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long breath, stomped his feet fiercely, and ordered the baggage officer of the Zhi family army to receive the important materials that Li Zhongyi sent for free again.

Leather combat boots are no match for straw sandals. Zhe Yunshui has actually been salivating for a long time, but he is embarrassed to ask Li Zhongyi to stretch out his hand because of the face of Zhe Congruan.

In the era of cold weapons, a pair of suitable leather combat boots was definitely the best gift that made ordinary officers and soldiers especially happy.

As the combat boots were gradually distributed, even though the soldiers of the Zhejia Army strictly adhered to the marching discipline and did not jump with cheers, Zhiyunshui was smiling from the smiling expressions of the soldiers around him. saw Li Zhongyi's unmoving, but he bought the superb skills of countless people's hearts.

"I said, this is to think of our son-in-law, and sell his life for him?" The annoying Zheyujiang reappeared beside Zheyunshui. The intention of sowing discord is clear.

Zhi Yunshui knew very well in his heart that Zhi Yujiang had a prejudice against Li Zhongyi, and the reason was. Zheyujiang's cousin has long been in love with Zhesaihua. I've always wanted to pick this delicate flower of the folding family.

It's a pity that there was a tacit understanding between the two families of Zhe and Yang. Later, Li Zhongyi made the first move, so that the cousin who folded Yujiang could only hate for life.

The old thing of the insinuation of the Yujiang River is recalled, and the ultimate goal is just to disgust and disgust the clouds.

The level of Zheyunshui is several orders of magnitude worse than Li Zhongyi. However, this does not mean that Zheyujiang can get any bargains or bargains here in Zheyunshui.

"Sixth brother, you should go and tell the ancestor face to face." Zheyunshui's seemingly clumsy answer happened to hit the death hole of Zheyujiang.

Who is Zhecong Ruan? How could he allow a junior in the clan like Zhi Yujiang to play with guns and sticks and axes in front of him?

"Seventh brother, am I not joking casually?" Zhi Yujiang is familiar with Zhi Yunshui's temperament, and knows that his seventh brother is not a man who likes to chew the root of his tongue.

It is precisely because Zheyunshui is known as a gentleman that Zhe Yujiang dared to come to the door again and again and say some unreliable provocative words.

Zhi Yunshui wiped the rain on his face, stretched out his hand and pointed to the newly changed leather combat boots on the foot of Zhi Yujiang, and said lightly: "The new boots worn by the sixth brother are given by the person who makes you feel hateful. ”

Zhi Yujiang couldn't hold back the burning sensation on his face, so he casually made an excuse and ran away.

After five stops on the road, the downpour from all over the world showed no sign of stopping, but became heavier and heavier.

In the small military tent that was temporarily erected, Zhi Congruan beat his waist and legs, pulled his throat, and said loudly: "No blame, God will help you, the Khitans will lose this battle." ”

Li Zhongyi replied loudly with a smile: "The land east of the river is so fat, but the puppet Han Liu family only knows how to expropriate and extort, and they are not sympathetic to the people at all. ”

"This ......" Zhi Congruan hesitated slightly, but then he was relieved, although he did not ask for benefits, but the boy surnamed Li was very understanding, this is an agreement in advance between the two parties, together to divide the Hedong treasure land of the puppet Han Liu family.

"The old man knows that the puppet Han Liu family is mean and unkind, and the remnants of the people should be killed!" Zhe Congruan didn't mention it at all, and after defeating the Liu family of the Northern Han Dynasty, the question of how to divide the interests of the territory put on a posture of fully trusting Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, Zhe Congruan is worthy of being an old fox, this old man does not mention the benefits and interests of the territory, does Li Zhongyi dare to treat the old Zhe family badly?

Not to mention, Zhesaihua is pregnant with Li Zhongyi's seed in her belly, even if Li Zhongyi wants to prove that his ally has sugar to eat, it is absolutely impossible to treat the interests of the old Zhe family.

Due to the continuous agricultural development of nearly 1,000 years, the land in the northwest region has become increasingly barren and the soil fertility has gradually become less fertile.

The increasingly harsh natural environment has determined that Fuzhou has always been in a dilemma, and between developing the economy and strengthening its armament, it can only choose one or the other.

If it weren't for Li Zhongyi's rise in the northwest and the complete defeat of the party's Tuoba family, which was also on the rise, the external situation faced by the Fuzhou family would definitely be countless times worse than it is now.

The situation is roughly similar to that of the Fuzhou family, which is the puppet Han Liu family mentioned by Li Zhongyi, that is, the Liu regime of the Northern Han Dynasty recorded in the history books.

The grievances between the Liu family of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Great Zhou State have a long history, and it can be described as an endless fatal relationship.

At the beginning, because they were framed by villains, Guo Wei and Chai Rong's whole family were destroyed by the young emperor of the Liu family, and they were almost killed.

In other words, whether it is the name of righteousness or the need to unify the Central Plains, after defeating the Khitans this time, Li Zhongyi will definitely move his army to the north, take Yanyun first, and obtain the treasure land of Jinyang Liu Han River East. (To be continued.) )
