In the west of Bianliang City, the maple forest is like fire.

On the official road in the forest, there were several carriages parked, and Shaozai Yang Lin was waiting for Song Jiang here to see him off.

The meritorious heroes of the Southern Expedition have been rewarded, and in Zhao Ji's heart, he clearly knows that the biggest hero this time is Yang Lin.

Therefore, although Yang Lin did not receive a reward, all the requests made by Zhao Ji were agreed to.

Wang Dynasty was promoted to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites and entered the Guanglu doctor.

The commander Song Jiang was given the same Jinshi background and moved to Hexi as the envoy of the right system in Hexi, as a feudal official of the imperial court to monitor the military and political affairs in the northwest.

"This black guy has just returned to Bianliang, and his ass has not yet been hot, so he has to go to the right to blow the cold wind, alas, I have to make people cry of sympathy." Yin Muhong put his hands behind his back and said gloatingly.

Beside him, Hua Rong glared angrily: "My brother has made great achievements and has been promoted to such a high-ranking official, you must be greedy and sad, so you are making a big fart here." ”

Yin Muhong has been messing around in Mizhou for a while, and he has long been familiar with this group of people, and when he heard this, he said disdainfully with his hands behind his back: "Vulgar, extremely vulgar." ”

Although Hua Rong was muddy, he also knew that this sanctimonious old bastard couldn't beat him, so he snorted coldly and didn't look over.

After a while, Song Jiang, who went to Menxia Province to report on his work, rode out on horseback.

Behind him, several dark-skinned, lean teenagers, who seemed to be the newly befriended younger brothers in the southwest, followed closely behind him.

Lu Qian knocked in front of the curtain and said, "Shaozai, the envoy of the Song system is here." ”

Yang Lin, who was lying on the soft couch, stretched his waist, lifted the curtain and walked out, and saw Song Jiang coming on horseback from a distance.

"How dare your subordinates bother Shaozai to see him off in person!" Song Jiang turned over and dismounted, and shouted with a flattered expression.

"Gongmei, you come here, let's talk." Yang Lin walked to a roadside pavilion, and after sitting down, he saw that Song Jiang was still standing aside, and said with a smile: "You can sit too." ”

Song Jiang is also not polite, after all, he and Shaozai have had a fateful friendship several times, and after sitting down, he said with a happy face: "My subordinates haven't thanked Shaozai yet, and they are from the same Jinshi for Song Jiang." ”

"It's just a little thing, you are my confidant, if I don't promote you, you can still promote others."

Tongjin Shi was born, and it is better than ordinary military generals, the Great Song Dynasty is an era when everything is a diploma, you don't have a good background, and you are tied up when you become a big official, and no one admires it.

The reason why Yang Lin is so domineering, and there are still many people looking towards him, is because he is the champion of the Eight Classics. Those who are crazy about advocating Yang Shengren in Jiangnan Academy are also using this as Yang Tou's biggest hole card, are you not convinced that Wenqu Xing is descending to earth?

"There is a situation in the northwest, after you go, you have to make more friends with the local Hu people. The Dangxiang, the Mongols, the Uighurs, and the Tibetans are all our minions and arms when they are used well. Northwest Hu and Han hybrids, although you want to advocate the style of the Central Plains, you are not allowed to bully the Hu people, I once told the officials in the northwest, treating everyone equally is the greatest benevolent government.

Although the military discipline of the Western Army was lax and factional formation was a common practice, there were many merits. They Toby and I, but you don't have to think too much about it, just do what you should do as a system.

It is impossible for the Western Army to abandon selfishness for our use at any time, and we do not have extravagant hopes, let alone waste our efforts on this. What you have to do is to collect your heart, the hearts of the people and the army of Qinlong. If their livelihood is closely related to us, then the northwest is our world. ”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "My subordinates understand that this is a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. ”

Yang Lin chuckled, it seemed that this black guy had understood what he meant, he snorted lightly, and after a while, Lu Qian came up with his own soldiers and set up a table of wine and food.

Two catties of sauce meat, a bowl of roasted walnuts in sauce, a plate of pan-fried yellow croaker, and a pot of boiled boneless pork head meat.

Lu Qian untied the wine bag, Song Jiang, Hua Rong, Yin Muhong, and Lu Wang crowded into the pavilion, Yang Lin smiled and said, "Come, resign for Song Gongming." ”

Ulianghai, Kerebu.

With a hint of worry on his face, he walked into his brother's tent.

Beautifully crafted tables and chairs, gold and silver utensils, and fine wines.

Hu Erzha was even more anxious, and said: "Lu Khan, now that we are in the Kelie Department, everyone wants to go home to herd sheep, and a few days ago we recruited people to guard against the Khitan, but they are listless and unwilling to fight. The Kereh Department crisscrosses the grasslands, not relying on herding sheep. ”

"Suddenly, the sheep bring us food and wealth, so why don't we raise them? I'm going to build a city in Wulianghai and form our own caravan of the Kereh Division, so that I don't have to wander around the grasslands anymore. ”

As soon as he heard this, Hu Erzha almost fainted, and stepped forward and said: "Lu Khan, the Mongols on the steppe are like scattered sand, and they have never had their own Great Khan, and now the Khitan is weak is our best chance, and the opportunity for our Kereh Department to dominate has come, how can we be greedy for comfort."

In the east, the weak Jurchens already had their own emperors, and I heard the news from the caravan of the Han people, and the Jurchens defeated the Khitan 100,000 iron cavalry with only 2,000 soldiers.

Every Han is preaching the courage of the Jurchens, and everyone doesn't remember that it was our Kereh tribe who took the lead in defeating the Khitan. ”

What kind of Khitan to fight, Kerelu Khan didn't think so, he was very comfortable now, why should he take his people to fight hard.

In the past, if you don't work hard, you will die, but now that the food is enough to eat, and the Khitans have not called, why should they give up this comfortable day to provoke the Khitans.

"Kuerza, your vision is as old as the frozen cave in Mobei, now what we want in the Kereh Department is just to pay a few sheep and a few horses, my people have food to eat, no longer have to wait for death in the cold winter, why do you want to provoke a war."

Since they are the overlords of the grassland, they are often fierce and domineering, fearless of death, and their combat power is terrifying.

But once successful, it will also be quickly corrupted, and the current Great Liao, the Jurchens who rose immediately, the Mongolia that rose one after another, and even the Eight Banners Wild Boar that followed, are all like this.

The reason is that at the beginning of the incident, these people couldn't live if they didn't work hard, and who cared about this and that anyway, they would die and who would care about this and that. But later, once life is comfortable, it will lose that bloody nature and become forward-looking and greedy for enjoyment.

Today's Kerebu is just a trade, and it has been drunk by the Central Plains atmosphere brought by the rich Song people.

These people frantically chased the spirits and delicacies of the Great Song Dynasty, and they all tried to improve the quality of their sheep and horses so that they could sell them at a good price.

Kuerzha was speechless, his own brother, Lu Khan of the Kerebu, he had no ambitions...

"Lu Khan, in case the Great Liao comes to attack us, how should we fight the enemy?"

"The Khitan people have long since lost the courage of the past, besides, don't we still have the Great Song Dynasty to rely on. It's a big deal to raise the clan to join the Song Dynasty, what is the difference between obeying the Great Liao and obeying the Great Song Dynasty. ”
