Because Zhang Shuye was very "brave and fearless" in the process of proclaiming Jingdong last time, and after returning to Beijing, through the propaganda of other people in the proclamation team, the Manchu Dynasty admired Zhang Shuye very much, and the emperor was also extremely satisfied, and soon after he returned to Beijing, he was promoted to Zhongshu Shelang.

Although Zhongshu Shelang's grade is only for the fourth grade, it is only half a level higher than the grade before Uncle Zhang went to Jingdong at night, but the significance is extraordinary! Because the chief and deputy governors of Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling and Zhongshu Shilang have become fictitious positions since the "Yuanfeng reform", so the Zhongshu Shelang, who is serving as the "system of Zhongshu and saving trouble", is actually the person who really holds the real power of Zhongshu Province, so the significance of this promotion is not trivial, it not only means that Zhang Shuye's career has finally ushered in a new take-off after three ups and three backwards, but also means that he has officially entered the power center of the Great Song Dynasty!

And a series of actions of the imperial court were also transmitted to Jingdong Road by Zhang Shuye in time.

Zheng Fei immediately convened the generals to hold several combat meetings according to Zhang Shuye's intelligence, and after everyone carefully analyzed the comparison of their own strength with that of the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with the fact that they had clearly known that the real plan of the imperial court was to start the war after the beginning of spring warmed up, Zheng Fei finally decided to adopt the strategy of standing on the defensive and waiting for the opportunity to move, and first hold the troops for the time being, and it was just right to use the two or three months to train the 100,000 recruits.

In addition to the key intelligence of the Great Song Dynasty, there is another thing that Zheng Fei is also extremely concerned about, that is, the latest developments in the Liaojin battlefield.

The current battle situation is extremely unfavorable to the Liao State, although the main battle faction led by Ye Luchun has the advantage in the last court battle and has carried out a resolute counterattack against the Jin State, but it is a pity that they are still unable to resist the iron cavalry of the Jin State, and the Jin State is like a natural Liao State nemesis, and the Liao army is defeated on the battlefield! And this also directly affected Zheng Fei's plan to buy horses, because according to the latest battle situation, the Jin army has approached the eastern coastal area of Yanjing Road, if the Liao army continues to be defeated like this, the coastal area will fall into the hands of the Jin State, and this horse will not be able to be bought.

Zheng Fei was very disappointed by this, it seems that it is still only a matter of time before the Liao State is destroyed by Jin, and it will not completely change because of his change in a certain detail of the situation. Zheng Fei understands that the top priority now is to increase the purchase of horses as soon as possible while the coastal port of Yanjing falls into the hands of the Jin State, and strive to transport as many war horses as possible, for this reason, Zheng Fei decided to help Ye Luchun again!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The last batch of war horses were successfully transported from Yanjing to Jingdong again, and under the command of the Liao general Yelu Geli, the Liao soldiers quickly unloaded all the war horses on the ships to the shore and handed them over to the Tiandao army who came to accept.

Half a day later, the Heavenly Dao Army completed the acceptance of the war horses, and the full amount of gold was quickly delivered to Yelugeli, who was about to leave after ordering his men to count the amount of gold, but was stopped by Li Ying, who came to deliver the gold.

"General, please come with me, someone wants to see the general." Li Ying made a "please" gesture to Yelugeri, Yelugeri was stunned, but still followed Li Ying to the shore and came to a room on the shore.

Yeluge Li entered the room and saw that the furnishings in the room were extremely ordinary, in addition to that, there were three other people, two of them were standing, between them was a big man who exuded a kind of intimidating majesty was sitting on a bench, and looked at him slightly with a pair of tiger eyes, in an instant, Yeluge felt an inexplicable sense of oppression from this big man, this is an invisible deterrent that people who have held absolute power for a long time will have!

Yelugeri was shocked in his heart, and when he was guessing who this person was, he saw Li Ying in front of him respectfully hugging his fists towards the man, "Commander, General Yelugeri is here!" ”

Yelu Geli was suddenly shocked in his heart, and then he realized that the person in front of him was Zheng Linfeng, the commander of the Heavenly Dao Army, who had only heard of his name and had never seen his true face!

"The last general has seen the adults." Yelu Geli hurriedly followed with a fist salute, although most of the Khitan people looked down on the Song people, including Yelu Geri, at least more than half a year ago, when he first came to Jingdong Road to send horses, he still still had a deep contempt for the Tiandao Army, but after several contacts, he finally found that these Jingdong people were different from the Song people he had seen before, especially when he came to send the horses a few times, just in time for the sailors of the Tiandao Army to train, that kind of big scene deeply shocked him, as the general of the Yanjing Naval Division, He knew very well what a terrifying sailor this was, and from then on, Yelu Geli no longer dared to have the slightest contempt for the Heavenly Dao Army, and he naturally admired and feared the commander of the Heavenly Dao Army who held hundreds of thousands of troops.

Zheng Fei also hugged his fist towards Yelu Geri, "General Yelu has had a hard time this year, I have always wanted to meet you, but I didn't take the time, please forgive me." ”

Hearing such polite words, Yelu Geli couldn't help but feel a little good about Zheng Fei, and he immediately smiled and said, "The last general doesn't dare, it's just running errands." It will be a great honor to meet you today! As he spoke, he couldn't help but have deep doubts in his heart, what did the commander of the Heavenly Dao Army want to do when he found him?

I only heard Zheng Fei continue, "I invited the general here today to let the general pass on some words to your prince for me. ”

Jerugrich said, "Please speak, my lord, and the general will bring the word." ”

Zheng Fei said, "I hope that your prince can increase the number of war horses sold to us." ”

Jerugeri's heart moved, "This...... I wonder how many more horses adults want to buy? ”

Zheng Fei stretched out three fingers,

Yelugeri was stunned, "Three hundred? ”

Zheng Fei smiled and shook his head, "No, on the basis of the existing one, we will be transported three thousand more horses each time!" ”

Jelugri was startled at first, and then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh as if he was listening to a joke, "My lord, please forgive me, even if we want to sell it to you, we have no ...... at all,"

Zheng Fei waved his hand to interrupt him, "Of course, I won't let you sell my war horse for nothing, I know that your current war with the Jin Kingdom is very unfavorable, in exchange, I can send my army and my warships to help you fight, and help you completely block the sea routes of the Jin Kingdom!" ”

After that, Zheng Fei pointed to the person next to him and said, "His name is Gongsun Sheng, he can represent me, let him go with you to see your prince!" ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yeluge took Gongsun Sheng back to Yanjing as quickly as possible and reported the matter to Yeluchun, Yeluchun was also shocked when he heard it, and immediately summoned his staff to discuss the matter.

Immediately, some people scoffed at the conditions of the Jingdong people, they thought that those Jingdong people were simply too self-righteous, and even Da Liao couldn't help the Jin people, so what could they do with those cowardly and incompetent Song people?

But some people think that they can think about it, Huang Xing and Yelu Geli both told everyone in detail about the Tiandao home they saw with their own eyes, and they think that those Jingdong people's sailors are very powerful, if those Jingdong people can really block the coast of the gold thief, this is still very beneficial to Da Liao.

Ye Luchun was undecided, so he asked the mysterious middle-aged man he trusted the most, "Brother Xiao, what do you think?" ”

The middle-aged man twisted his beard and said, "Lord Wang, now that our war is very unfavorable, the emperor is gradually losing patience, and the lord and faction are also starting to move again, we must do something quickly!" And since we started dealing with that Zheng Linfeng, I felt that this Zheng Linfeng was very evil, he often made some seemingly ridiculous actions, but the final facts always proved that he was right. So I think we can temporarily agree to Zheng Linfeng's request, and promise him that he can increase the number of war horses sold to them, but there are also conditions, that is, they must first send their sailors and troops to help us fight, let us see if they have the ability to help us, if so, we will sell them war horses, if not, just refuse them directly, anyway, there is no loss to us. ”

Yeluchun thought so, nodded and said, "Okay, go and call that person." ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Soon, Gongsun Sheng was brought to Yeluchun, and after a little politeness, Yeluchun immediately told Gongsun Sheng his conditions,

After Gongsun Sheng heard this, although his face was very surprised, he was actually not shocked in his heart, because before he came, he had carefully speculated with Zheng Fei, Wu Yong and others about the various reactions that Yeluchun might have, and Yeluchun's conditions were indeed among them. Although he was a little puzzled by Zheng Fei's persistent pursuit of the war horse, he trusted Zheng Fei and would unswervingly carry out Zheng Fei's orders.

"Lord Wang, we can agree to your conditions, and we will immediately send our sailors to attack the Jin Kingdom, but I also hope that you can keep your promise and prepare enough war horses."

Ye Luchun smiled indifferently and said, "You can rest assured that we Khitans have the heaviest promise, as long as you can prove your role to us, a fleet full of four thousand war horses will set sail for your Jingdong Road!" Now I need you to tell me, how many warships and how many men will you send to attack the Kingdom of Jin? ”

Gongsun Sheng smiled mysteriously, "You don't need to worry about this, you just need to wait patiently for a few days, and the answer will soon be in front of you." ”
