"Please tell General Zhang," Zhao Xingde nodded and muttered, "I will send troops south as soon as possible." ”

He neither objected nor gave a definite time for the dispatch of troops. Since getting out of trouble, Zhao Xingde has become more and more happy and angry.

"Xia Guan understands." The envoy Lin Xiu arched his hand, he looked at Zhao Xingde, and he couldn't see his inner thoughts from his face.

"When the lower official was in Luoyang, he had the honor to visit the general's mansion. Madame, as a bachelor of the bachelor's house, everything is fine, Madame, please take care of the general, don't worry. Lin Xiu shook his head in his heart and said in a low voice, "The situation in Luoyang Mansion, the lower officials know a little bit, the general may have questions, the lower officials must know everything, and they will say everything." He looked at Zhao Xingde with a calm expression.

"Huh?" Zhao Xingde glanced at Lin Xiu in surprise, and then remembered that Li Ruoxue had mentioned in the letter that this officer of the Military Intelligence Department who was escorted to Luoyang from Kuizhou, his eyes fluctuated slightly, he nodded, and sighed, "Thank you Lin Shu for having a heart." Zhao Xingde thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I have been away from home for too long, and I don't know how tall the child is, can Lin Shu know?" ”

"Yes," Lin Xiu nodded, "When I bid farewell to Mrs. Li, I was fortunate enough to meet the two sons of the general. The lady personally taught the two sons every day, and the two sons also recited the husband's 'godson'. He paused, "The two sons-in-law are probably so tall, and the son-in-law is a little taller than Zhao Yong." He stretched out his palm, slightly above his waist, to signal the height of the two children.

"Yes," Zhao Xingde nodded and said with emotion, "The girl wants to grow up faster." His tone was a little bitter.

He asked Lin Xiu to sit down together, poured his own tea, and was disrespectful, picking up the teacup by himself, he was a little distracted. Looking at this situation, Lin Xiu sighed secretly again, and said in a low voice: "The Military Intelligence Department has found out the news from the Liao State, Yelu Dashi is vigorously fighting the horses, and after the autumn is high and the horses are fat, the Liao soldiers will go south in a big way." On the side of the Song Kingdom, Chen Dong went to the throne, the dragons were leaderless, and the situation could not be controlled, so it would be out of control. In such a chaotic situation, does the general have any ideas? His eyes flickered slightly, although the Military Intelligence Department could inquire about the situation, but in terms of understanding the internal situation of the Song Imperial Court, judging the situation in the Kwantung Kingdom, and understanding the ministers in power such as Chen Dong and Deng Su, Xia Guo was afraid that no one could compare with Zhao Xingde, so the Military Intelligence Department also hoped that Lin Xiu could get some opinions from him.

"My thoughts?" Zhao Xingde smiled bitterly, he thought for a while, and said slowly, "The situation in the Song Kingdom, if there is no accident, the current chaos will soon be calmed down." He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "As long as Deng Su doesn't make a faint move, and uses Yue Shuai to take charge of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, the Liao soldiers will definitely not be able to take advantage." As for the East Road, Lu Mingyu and the Han army formed an alliance with them, and it was more than enough to hold on. If the Liao soldiers really moved south, General Wu could criticize and make trouble, unite with the Yang army in Hedong, and use cavalry to copy the back road of the Xijing Road of the Liao State. He dipped his thumb in tea as ink, and with a few strokes, he drew the general situation of the Liao army southward and all parties very clearly.

"Admiral Takami." Lin Xiu nodded in praise. looked at Zhao Xingde again, but saw that he was not proud, and looked at the painting and was stunned.

Lin Xiu is an officer of the Military Intelligence Department and has read a lot of people. From Kansai to Kanto, Zhao Xingde's name is like thunder, he imagined that he was a heroic young general, but when I saw it today, Zhao Xingde was deeply introverted, and his demeanor was even a little sluggish, and he did not regain the legendary spirit. This is also the normal feeling of people, when the fledgling is full of blood, after the world is consumed, in the whirlpool, often to blame, from the willfulness of things, over time, the steel has also turned into a soft finger, depressed, and the edge is gradually dull.

"There are rumors outside, some say that the Chen Party wants to unite with the South China Sea Naval Division to go north to crusade against Ezhou, and some say that Ezhou wants to use the South China Sea Naval Division to subdue Guangzhou as a vassal." Lin Xiu asked cautiously, "Although the rumors stop at the wise, I don't know if it's groundless......

"The sailor will not participate in the party struggle between the DPRK and China." Zhao Xingde said without thinking, "Chen Shaoyang is not a traitor who loves the power position, and Deng Su is not a villain who is lucky to be on the throne. Not to mention my own likes and dislikes, if it comes to self-fighting, the sailor is far less direct than Ma Bujun. The South China Sea Navy Division spent a lot of money, and all of them had to rely on the government and the central government to provide assistance, and after years of hard work, the previous achievements were lost after a temporary interruption. And there is no winner who wins and is undefeated in the party struggle, and if he is caught in the whirlpool for no reason today, he will be quick for a while, and he will leave endless troubles in the future. He shook his head and said with emotion, "The ancients had a saying that sharpening a knife hated disadvantage, and that a knife was sharp and hurt people. He looked at the sea outside the window and said in a deep voice: "I have been in charge of the sailor for one day, and the sharp blade of the sailor is only facing the outside, not to his own people." ”

"Xiaguan understands." Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "If General Zhao thinks so, General Zhang and General Wu will also be relieved. He stood up, bowed and said, "The lower official said goodbye, and I wish the general Yang Fan the South China Sea as soon as possible and make contributions to the foreign land." ”

"Thank you, Captain Lin." Zhao Xingde also bowed his hand. He smiled bitterly twice, took the teacup, and groaned again.

There was a lot of people on the warship in such a big place, and although Lin Xiu came and went in a hurry, his whereabouts still fell in the eyes of many people.

Mo said that the generals of the Song Kingdom, even the generals of the Xia Kingdom, such as Du Chuijiao and Liu Zhijian, did not know Lin Xiu. Although it is inconvenient for the generals to discuss it publicly, they still speculate about who his identity is? In the end, most people still suspected that he was a secret envoy in Guangzhou. Because of this journey to the south, the Guangzhou City Ship Division treated the South China Sea Navy Division the most lazy, not only did the Navy Division not get the supplies due to the voyage, but also stationed in the Guangzhou Outer Harbor for a few days, the food reserves on the ship were still being consumed and reduced, so the generals, whether they supported the imperial court or supported the Society, were a little resentful of the Guangzhou government.

"Phew! A bunch of rats! "Someone spat at the sea. Zhou He looked at the boat in the distance, his eyes were thoughtful.

"There aren't enough vegetables, and there's no fresh meat." Ding Ban said indignantly, "If it goes on like this, Lao Tzu will have to go ashore and rob it." ”

"It's good to rob, you don't have to give money to rob it." Du Fujiao laughed dryly, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the general doesn't allow it."

If it was in the Xia Kingdom, he really wouldn't dare to make this joke, but this is the Song Kingdom, the government supply is not effective, and the generals of the Song State don't care about grabbing a handful of people, so why should he care about a Xia country, it's just that this can only be thought about, with Du Chuijiao's understanding of Zhao Xingde, this idea can only stay at the stage of daydreaming. "It's better to go to the South China Sea as soon as possible, find a Shengfan tribe, and grab whatever you can," Du Blowhorn shook his head and muttered, "It's better than guarding this port and drinking the northwest wind." He looked at the sweaty soldiers on the deck, the ordinary soldiers who should have gone ashore to relax and have fun, but they could only practice various movements repeatedly on the deck, and they were as tired as dead dogs, which was really a sin.

"I heard that the general wanted to invite the Nanqu team on the shore to work on the ship, and he also impeached the imperial history, saying that 'the soldiers are half dead in front of the army, and the beauties are still singing and dancing'. It's a rumor outside. Ding Ban's voice became louder and louder, "His grandmother's, those of them who are officials, the students in the school go to the Qinglou every day, chant poems and play against women, what is it for us to eat military rations and listen to Nanqu?" ”

"We're fighting for our lives, just for these bastards." There was another curse on deck.

"However, our adults are not easy to mess with, Chen Xianggong and Deng Xianggong in the court, which is not General Zhao's old friend. Listening to Feng Mi's little white face, Guangzhou City Bosike detained the water division for supplies, and the general also participated in them. Hmph, these dogs, according to the original method in Ezhou, don't give food and baggage, let's go to the treasury to get it ourselves, and after the big deal is taken, leave them a receipt. "This person followed Luo Xianshi to squeeze the county government that did not pay taxes, and when he talked about the things of the year, he was still colorful.

"Really?" Some people do not believe, "Loot the treasury, and are not afraid of punishment?" ”

"Really!" The man glared dissatisfiedly, "Lao Tzu has robbed more money than you have ever seen, can he still deceive you?" ”

............

In the main hall of the prefect's yamen, Chen Gongju of Zhizhou and Liu Yu of the city office sat at the top, and the officials under the hall were divided into two rows, sitting in danger.

"Alas, what do you think," Liu Yu shook his head and sighed, "Zhao Yuanzhi is so unmissive. ”

"So what?" Chen Gongju said in a deep voice, "The top priority is how to clean up this mess?" ”

Since the Taizu Dynasty, the food and salary of the army has always been controlled and supplied by the center of the imperial court and civil officials, which is the ancestral family law of the imperial army. The impeachment of Wenchen by military generals is extremely rare, but Zhao Xingde is not an ordinary martial artist, and he has a lot of echoes in Shilin, thinking that the people of Guangzhou are harming the state for the sake of the party, and even the imperial history echoes the impeachment of the above table, and it is very embarrassing to learn that Chen Gongju of the state and Liu Yu of the city are very embarrassed. Since the Ezhou initiative, the society was originally very prosperous, but now Chen Wu turned against him, Deng Su profited, and Zhao Xingde left immediately, and the society was a little stormy, and even fell apart. The officials in this hall are all confidants of Chen Gongju and Liu Yu, all of them are from Qingliu, and most of them are also full of clouds when they think of this.

The Chinese officials of the Tang Hall all knew that Lord Zhizhou had made friends, and the envoy of the city was threatening with food and salary, and the original intention was to make an offensive and defensive alliance with Zhao Xingde and let him completely stand on the side of the Li Society. Zhao Xingde was originally the patriarch of the Li Society, and he held the military power of the South China Sea in his hands, no matter whether he raised an army to crusade against Deng Su in Ezhou, once he made his attitude clear, it was impossible for the imperial court to subdue the power of the Li Society by force. However, I don't know what to do, Guangzhou Bosi and Nanhai Sailor got into dealings, and the relationship deteriorated more and more, so that to the point that Zhao Xingde and Chen Gongju impeached each other, so that everyone in the world saw a joke.
