"Okay," Jia Yuanzhen was overjoyed and nodded, "I should recommend the two of you to Lord Lu." ”

"Wait." Jiao Dengyun shook his head, "The two of us are from the military government, and if we are not allowed to join the Song camp." ”

"Then I promised just now," Jia Yuanzhen said angrily, "Is it to entertain me?" ”

"This ......" Jian Tianliang's hands were twisted, a little embarrassed. He was quick to speak for a while, but he didn't consider the restrictions of the military government. Without the permission of the military government, a sergeant is not allowed to fight for another country. Jiao Dengyun said with a smile: "According to the rules of the military government, although sergeants are not allowed to join the Song battalion, we can fight the Liao together." He was familiar with the military system, but because of his lack of martial arts, he failed to win the position of ten commanders in the army, and could only retire as an ordinary sergeant. Jiao Dengyun has always been unwilling, saying that he moved Jian Tianliang to come to Kanto to do business, and he didn't want to look for opportunities in his heart.

"The sergeant cannot fight for another country without permission, but the thieves have robbed us of our goods, and we can take revenge." Jia Yuanzhen and Jian Tianliang looked at themselves puzzled, and Jiao Dengyun didn't go around the bend and told his calculations, "We can set up a battalion alone, you fight yours, we will fight ours," he sneered, "Song Guo can provide food and salary, and allow us to levy military supplies in the battle zone, maybe, we can also recruit more men and horses from Guanzhong." The children of Guanzhong, even if they are not sergeants, their bow and horse martial arts far surpass those of you Song people. ”

"What a plan!" Jian Tianliang clapped his fists and shouted, "Lao Jiao, you are a general." ”

"Isn't this a cover-up?" Jia Yuanzhen's face was suspicious, "Could it be that the Xia Imperial Court will allow it?" ”

"If the court doesn't explicitly prohibit it, it can be done." Jiao Dengyun said with a smile, "What's more, we have come all the way and seen that the grain, grass, armor, and horses in Guanzhong are all being transported to you in a steady stream, although it is not the court that pays for it, is it possible that when the idlers do this, the court will turn a blind eye?" In the final analysis, according to me, the court may not want to send troops, but it is just suspicious and dare not spread it on the table, if we do it first, as long as it is not too excessive, or overturn this table, the court will open one eye and close one eye, maybe it will secretly help us. ”

Jiao Dengyun kept saying "imperial court", talking about the five mansions of the Xia Kingdom, an ordinary sergeant can have this insight, which really surprised Jia Yuanzhen, and changed the impression that the Kansai sergeants were all reckless warriors. Since the recovery of Henan, it is easy to say that Tuntian has trained troops and recruited ordinary firecrackers, but there is a shortage of veterans. Today, in order to rescue the people, from the commander Xu Sheng downward, all the cavalry in the battalion have been exhausted, and it will be extremely difficult for these elite soldiers to be replenished. If the elite can be recruited from Guanzhong to assist in the battle, it can indeed greatly supplement the shortcomings of the Song army.

"Okay, I'll report to General Lu." Thinking of this, Jia Yuanzhen was a little excited, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Alas," looking at his back, Jiao Dengyun sighed, "It's a pity that General Zhao Xingde is not in charge of Henan," his face was a little regretful, "If Zhao Junhou presides over Henan, the Liao people are like thorns in the back, how dare they lightly march into Shandong." Hearing is false, seeing is true, the Song people are not cowardly and unable to fight, looking at the momentum of today's cavalry fighting to the death, I am afraid that it will not take two or three years to be able to counterattack and attack. I heard that the Khitan people are very rich, if we can follow General Zhao to wash and plunder, wouldn't it be a good thing. He sighed again, as if he was sorry for Zhao Xingde, and as if he was sorry for not being able to let go of the looting.

"Eh, I said Lao Jiao," Jian Tianliang sounded wrong, "You wouldn't have planned for this Kanto deal, right?" ”

"Already planned?" Jiao Dengyun smiled dumbly, and said, "I knew that Zhao Junhou was my general, so I came to him directly with armor and a bow." Patting Jian Tianliang on the shoulder, Jiao Dengyun turned his head, dozens of guys hadn't come back to their senses yet, he smiled slightly, and walked towards the few people who were usually optimistic, since he was determined to do something big, he had to persuade them to stay first.

In the humble barracks, Jia Yuanzhen had just opened the ink in the Duan inkstone, and before he had time to pick up a pen to write a military newspaper, a subordinate came to report outside the door, a group of more than a dozen horsemen, claiming to be the messenger of the Han army, and asked to introduce Lu Du to the command on his behalf. "Han Jun? Liaodong Han Army? Jia Yuanzhen was a little surprised, for the Han army, he was still limited to the description in "White Mountain Crying Blood", and he didn't expect the other party to send a messenger to the door. For the three towns of Henan left by Zhao Xingde, every ally is extremely important, Jia Yuanzhen hurriedly packed up his pen and ink, and personally greeted him at the door. To his great surprise, the other party not only held the customs clearance document of the Left-behind Division, but also seemed to have an understanding of Jia Yuanzhen's identity, so he was not taboo when he opened his mouth, and bluntly said that he came to Lu Mingyu to discuss the alliance between the two families. The familiarity of the Han army envoy made Jia Yuanzhen feel a little unbearable.

"Brother Jia, sooner or later we will be a family," Wang Hengzhi blinked, his beard was gray, but he patted Jia Yuanzhen's shoulder disrespectfully, and said with a smile, "You'll know later." By the way, how is my Tong Yunjie brother lately? ”

"Child control?" Jia Yuanzhen couldn't help but shudder and replied, "Very good, the Tong system is very good." "This one-legged officer who suddenly joined the Baoyi Army before the Northern Expedition and replaced Liu Zhijian and Gao Su in charge of the artillery battalion is a very serious person. Ma Yuan used to joke about whom, if Tong Yunjie didn't scold, he would be the same person as the Ministry of Rites Tong Yunjie brought a group of skilled artillerymen, although he was lame, he did things neatly, and he was extremely strict in governing the army. Everyone joked privately that they were relieved of the artillery battalion at this time, and no matter how hard the battle was, it would be impossible for the "cripple boy" to escape.

"Could it be that the 'cripple boy' is a member of the Han army?" Jia Yuanzhen guessed while laughing and said, "General Wang, I have admired the heroes of Baishan and Heishui for a long time. Please here, please ...... here" introduced Wang Hengzhi into the village, Wang Hengzhi looked at the people full of the village, and said with a slight smile: "The Central Plains is really a good place, and there are many more people fleeing than in Liaodong." ”

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

Tieshan Marshal's Mansion, Han Ningshuang was dressed in a military uniform, her pretty face was cold, and she looked at the envoy of Jingdong Road condescendingly.

"You go back and tell Hou Huanyin," she said coldly, "Our Han army has lived in a bitter cold place for a long time, and there is a shortage of food, if Prime Minister Hou has the heart to invite the Han army to go south, please send 200,000 stone of grain first, 100,000 horses of linen cloth and 100,000 horses of Ge cloth, and then we will consider sending troops." Seeing that the messenger still wanted to speak, Han Ningshuang waved his hand, "You go down first." ”

"Let's go!" Wang Ji pushed the envoy's shoulder and shouted, "What do you see? ”

Looking at the back of the departing envoy, Han Ningshuang frowned slightly, her slender fingers gently tapped the armrest, and she was silent in thought.

"Marshal?" Xu Detai asked, "Are you really going to help that surnamed Hou?" The other Han generals also had different faces.

"Of course," Han Ningshuang said coldly, "No. The Southern Dynasty relieved General Zhao Xingde of military power, and Hou Huanyin made a lot of ghosts from it. This man deserves to die! He just knelt down and begged for mercy, how could I let him go. It's ridiculous that this person actually thinks that our Han army can show him the home and nursing home, and he will come and go as soon as he is called, hum! The corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing a mocking smile, "He thought he had a plan and cut off Chen Dong's right arm, but he didn't expect that his lips would be cold, he was really stupid!" Now the Liao people are using troops in Shandong, which can be said to be self-reaping. What we need to consider is how to take advantage of this opportunity to get the most out of the Jingdong Road war. ”

"The marshal wants to use troops in Jingdong?" Xu Detai said worriedly, "We have too few soldiers and horses, but it is not enough to fight the fire." ”

"Xu Dangjia has just come back from the outer islands, and I don't know anything," Wang Xuansu saw this, and stepped forward and said: "More than ten days ago, General Wang Hengzhi went to contact General Zhao's old department. Lu Mingyu, Luo Xianshi, Deng Yuanjue and others seized Henan, although they had the support of the Xia State, but they had many soldiers and few people, and they were in the land of four wars, so there was no room for maneuver. If we can form an alliance with them, we will add up to 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the cost is not small. Looking at the opportunity, there may not be no chance to win JD.com. Wang Xuansu's tone is not very sure, after all, the Liao, Song and Xia are all big countries, and the Han army and the three towns of Henan combined are not more than 100,000 horses, so the Shuai Mansion also considered taking a step back, if there is no chance to seize Shandong, then force Hou Huanyin to give up a few ports, and try to rescue the people of Jingdong Road with sea ships. After Zhao Xingde left Liaodong, the Han army continued to cooperate with the fourth battalion of Chengying, cutting wood and smelting iron, building ships to sea, and reclaiming desert islands.

"However, if we act on our own, won't the Xia Imperial Court be dissatisfied?"

"Old General Xu, don't worry," Han Ningshuang shook his head slightly, his eyes changed, and he said softly, "If our Han army grows by one point, it will weaken the Liao and Song Dynasty by two points, and the Xia State will just sit back and enjoy its success, and the status of the Han army will only become more and more important." The Song Kingdom originally had the opportunity to clean up the old frontier, but the internal friction continued...... It's a pity......" Her eyes changed, her words became softer, she sighed faintly, and said nothing more.

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

"Mr. Zhao, go down here, and you will reach Ezhou in another thirty miles."

"Today's topic, is it still among the 'gentlemen and villains'?"

"The gentleman is poor, and the villain is poor."

"Thank you sir for your advice......"

Liu Wengu rushed to Zhao Mayuan and others. After the first draft of "The Kingdom of Gentlemen" was completed, Zhao Xingde and Liu Wengu questioned each other and argued in an attempt to find out what was wrong in the article. Along the way, Liu Wengu discussed with Ma Yuan and others about "the distinction between gentlemen and villains". Zhao Xingde did not think it was resentful, and instructed Ma Yuan and others, if they have the heart to discuss the way of the gentleman and the villain, they can copy a copy of the first draft, and after camping in the village every day, everyone will discuss the doubts about the "gentleman villain", the way of the gentleman and the way of the villain. While arguing on the basis of reason, Zhao Xingde also followed the inappropriateness of the article and happily revised it. In this way, everyone's interest is no less than the vigorous "Great Rite Law" controversy in various places at this time.

As the commander of the army who escorted and escorted all the way, Yue Yun acquiesced to the actions of Zhao Xingde and these officers. He himself was often present, but he always sat alone in a corner of the venue, quietly listening to Zhao Xingde and the officers arguing with each other, sometimes frowning, sometimes sinking like water, sometimes smiling, but always without saying a word, until everyone finished arguing, he stood up and saluted and left. After going back and forth, Ma Yuan and others privately gave Yue Yun the nickname "Wooden Stake".
