1121 Longcheng Line

On the way to the Longcheng barracks, Yelu Chucai finally realized that the so-called alliance between Ye Qing and the Jin State was completely for violating it, especially when the sound of shouting and killing sounded in his ears along the way, Yelu Chucai instantly felt a chill in his heart: Ye Qing had never planned to form a real alliance with the Jin people at all, the so-called alliance was just a delaying tactic, Ye Qing's mind had actually been on continuing the Northern Expedition, including everything he had done now was actually preparing for the Northern Expedition.

Rows of endless low barracks began to come into view, because of the close proximity to Guanshan, so most of the barracks here are thought to be made of stone, crisscrossing like a city, the streets are also very spacious, but compared to other cities where people come and go, carriages and sedan chairs, what can be seen here is a war horse, and bundles of arrows are placed on the carriage to transport to the camp.

The soldiers who were not wearing armor walked easily on both sides of the road in the camp, and the shade presented by the rows of trees was a quiet feeling with people, which was in stark contrast to the strong momentum that came to them when they first entered the camp.

Similarly, some merchants and ordinary people can also be seen in the camp, supplying the entire grain and grass and other materials for the Longcheng camp.

Wang Chong and Xie Lun took Ye Qing, Yelu Chucai and others along the avenue to continue to the depths of the camp.

The large camp that can accommodate 50,000 people, after two years of expansion, is now quite perfect, whether it is infantry, cavalry, or the rest of the mysterious army like the 3,000 battalions, now in the Longcheng camp, they all have their own camps, which have nothing to do with each other, but if they are in the emergency rush, they can be formed in a short time, and immediately form a large army that can attack the city and plunder the land.

Yelu Chucai looked at the scene in front of him with some incredulity, and from time to time he could see some Song soldiers saluting Wang Zhong and Xie Lun, and then he would continue to be busy with the things in his hands.

Regarding Ye Qing's attitude towards him, it was as if he hadn't seen it, and he was ignored by the soldiers at the first time, and Ye Qing obviously didn't care, plus Wang Chong and Xie Lun had already been accustomed to Ye Qing's informality in the army, as well as the rules and constraints in the army, so they didn't feel anything wrong.

But in Yelu Chucai's eyes, it was obvious that all of this seemed a little incredible, except that he had never thought that a barracks could be built so large, that is, he was surprised by what he saw after entering the barracks.

Such a camp is difficult to see in the Jin country at all, even if there are barracks for marching and fighting, most of them are scattered all over the place like a plate of scattered sand, and only when the war comes, will everyone be gathered at the first time.

And like the Longcheng camp, there has always been an army of nearly 50,000 people in the camp, which is completely unimaginable for Yelu Chucai.

"Who will change the army of Horse Husbandry?" In the council hall of the Longcheng camp, Ye Qing also looked around curiously, and asked Wang Zhong and Xie Lun behind him casually.

"The last general has already discussed with Yu Yunwen's deputy capital protector two days ago, and the military judge will return to the Longcheng barracks from Xingqing Mansion to rest for some time, and then he will go to Muma Town, and it will be Tian Lin who will replace Wu Ju and Liu Keshi in Xingqing Mansion." Wang Zhong explained to Ye Qing's tall back.

Originally, he and Xie Lun were just the two commanders of the Dragon City battalion, but since they followed Ye Qing to defend against the Jin soldiers in Yanzhou, these two people were marked by Ye Qing from that moment on.

So now after returning to Longcheng to continue to serve as the commander, the two of them will tell the soldiers in the camp from time to time about all kinds of things that they have fought with Ye Qing, and most of the time, when the two of them mention Ye Qing, their expressions seem to be honored, as if they can be with Ye Qing

Fighting was the luckiest thing, and at the same time, I was proud to be able to fight against the Jin people under Ye Qing's personal leadership.

Although the final result of the First Battle of Yanzhou was that Ye Qing took the initiative to sue for peace with the Jin people, and then terminated the war, it is difficult to say who took advantage of the offensive and defensive battle that lasted for half a year.

And Song and Jin naturally have their own opinions on this matter, the Jin people never mention that in the offensive and defensive battle of Yanzhou, they had more soldiers killed and wounded on the battlefield than the Song people, in their opinion, in the end, it was Ye Qing who took the initiative to ask them for peace, which is enough to show that they won that battle.

On the side of the Song people, the rhetoric is naturally that the morale of the president and the prestige of the Jin people will be destroyed, and the casualties of the Jin soldiers far exceed the Song army, which does not have the upper hand in the army, and the war that lasted for more than half a year, the Song army was outnumbered under the leadership of Ye Qing and held Yanzhou stubbornly, making it completely difficult for the Jin people to advance half a step, and finally had to negotiate and withdraw the troops.

Wang Chong, Xie Lun, Sima Jian, and Hengqiao, who later rushed to the aid of the past, completely became Ye Qing's confidants and favorite generals after the First World War in Yanzhou, although their status in the army is not as good as Li Heng, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm and others, but now they can also be listed as Ye Qing's second-echelon henchmen.

Tian Lin and Li Zhongfang have been following Ye Qing since the beginning of Ye Qing's Northern Expedition, so after Tian Lin went to Xingqing Mansion, Li Zhongfang would inevitably go to Jinan Mansion, and the Jingzhao Mansion in the middle had a military judgment to cooperate with the other three capital protectors to guard it.

The rest, like Li Heng, is because of the importance of Xiping Mansion, so that Beidi and Ye Qing have to add an additional defensive front to guard against possible Mongol sneak attacks.

Ye Qing's command is still a military general who is better than Wenchen, and a large number of military generals have really followed Ye Qing on the battlefield, or they are habitual fighters who have led the army to fight alone, and in terms of Wenchen, now because of the opening of the door to the imperial examination, as well as the opening of Enke, it has greatly alleviated the embarrassment of the employment of people in the north, but it is still slightly inferior to the generals.

Ye Qing nodded silently, and then turned around before sitting down on the top, and motioned for Wang Chong and the three to sit down as well.

Yelu Chucai remained silent, and followed Ye Qing into the council hall and kept looking at the big map on the wall.

And Wang Zhong and Xie Lun did not ask about Yelu Chucai's identity, in their opinion, since they could be brought into the Dragon City camp by Ye Qing, then this person must be the person that Ye Qing valued and trusted.

A letter chased from Chang'an to the Longcheng barracks was handed over to Ye Qing by Xie Lun, Ye Qing glanced at it lightly, put it in his sleeve pocket, and then continued to ask Xie Lun and Wang Zhong about some things in the camp.

Although the grain and grass will not all be concentrated here, the Longcheng Barracks is also an important place for the three capital protectorates in the north to place grain and grass, and similarly, including weapons and armor, most of them are also transported from the Longcheng Barracks to various places.

After not avoiding Yelu Chucai's questioning about the army in the north, after unknowingly finishing it, Ye Qing took out the letter from Lin'an in his sleeve pocket and chased him from Chang'an to the Longcheng barracks after Wang Zhong and Xie Lun left.

Yelu Chucai, who had never spoken, finally spoke while Ye Qing looked down at the letter: "You actually ...... You never gave up on continuing the Northern Expedition, did you? ”

"Not bad." Ye Qing lowered his head and continued to read the letter, and said in his mouth: "It seems that you are not too stupid, and it is not too late to realize it until now." ”

"Then why did you make an alliance with the Jin Kingdom again? Is it just for paralyzing ......? Yelu Chucai frowned and asked.

"No, because if I don't ally with the Jin, then it's possible that they will choose to ally with the Mongols, in that case...... It's even worse for me, so I can only choose to follow the gold

In this way, at least it will not make you join forces with the Mongols against me, and I will have a chance to continue the Northern Expedition, right? Ye Qing's gaze shifted from Zhao Kuo's letter to Yelu Chucai's solemn and disdainful face.

"Why are you trying to win me over? What use am I to you? "No matter how stupid Yelu Chucai is now, he also knows that Ye Qing left him not to ensure that the covenant can be observed, after all, if Ye Qing is really afraid that the Jin people will violate the covenant, then he should not be used as a hostage guarantee, but should also leave King Wei Shao Wanyan Yongji.

But the reality is that in order to ensure that the covenant, Ye Qing thought that in order to ensure it, he left him, a courtier with a low official position in the Jin State and not a highly regarded courtier.

"I want you to join me in the gold, how about it? Would you say yes? Ye Qing looked at the letter in his hand again.

Yelu Chucai looked at Ye Qing and was silent, while Ye Qing continued to lower his head and read the distress letter from Zhao Kuo repeatedly.

Yan Keji's daughter and Yang Huili's daughter were all ignored by Zhao Kuo, and after a visit to the Huxin Pavilion, he actually fell in love with the daughter of Han Yanjia, a member of the Ministry of Officials?

Who is Han Yanjia, although Ye Qing is not familiar with it, but he is quite familiar with Han Yanjia's ancestors, although the Han family has declined now, but when the Song Dynasty was not at peace, the Han family still had a wealthy nobleman who was posthumously regarded as the king of loyalty.

Therefore, this letter is written throughout, and there is only one purpose of Zhao Kuo, that is, to ask Ye Qing's opinion, how to exchange the woman named Han Ying with Yan Keji or Yang Huili's daughter.

Obviously, if Zhao Kuo wants to marry a wife now, then in his young heart, he hopes to marry Han Ying, who fell in love at first sight.

"What would you do if you liked a woman but couldn't marry her?" Ye Qing raised his head, looked at Yelu Chucai, who was still silent, and asked.

Still thinking about the question that Ye Qing asked him just now if he was willing to use it for him, he didn't expect Ye Qing to raise his head again, and the question had become a topic about the love of children.

"This ...... If it's me, since I can't marry, then find a way to marry. Yelu Chucai was stunned and replied.

"Neither your mother nor your courtiers will agree? And it's still in ...... When you were about to get married to another woman? Ye Qing continued to ask.

Yelu Chucai thought for a moment, paused and said, "You are talking about the young emperor of your country?" ”

"Yes, it is the current saint who is now worrying about emotional matters, Ye Mou, as a minister, naturally wants to share the worries of the king, but this matter is obviously not so easy, so ...... This is a problem for me, a courtier. Ye Qing patted the letter in his hand lightly and said.

Yelu Chucai raised his eyebrows, and suddenly asked with a sneer: "You actually want to tell me through this incident that the emperor of your country now trusts you and is not always on guard against your every move in the Northland?" I want to tell me that your position in the North is now as stable as Mount Tai, even if you attack my Dajin Kingdom next, the imperial court will only support you, and will not drag you back, that is to say, even if my Dajin Kingdom and the Lin'an Imperial Court take the initiative to negotiate peace, but Lin'an will leave this matter to you because of the trust of the Holy Lord in you? Or is it that all things about the Kingdom of Jin are based on your will? ”

"Isn't it up to me to sign an alliance with the Jin Kingdom? When did the imperial court stop it? You think too much, and I ask you about it, just to ask for your opinion and see if you have any good countermeasures. Ye Qing sighed, it was obviously not so easy to please the Sacred Heart, at least in this matter, Ye Qing couldn't think of a way to give Zhao Kuo the best of both worlds for a while.
