There are not many officials like Lin Beat who are loyal to Cai Jing. If it was in the past, waiting to come to the door to meet the sedan chair, from Taishi Cai's mansion to the Bianhe River, but now there are very few. However, Zhao Zhifu's mansion, which had just been promoted to prime minister, was lively, and the hot and cold state of the world could be seen.

At this moment, Cai Jing only turned his back to Lin Beat, and his wide kudzu robe covered his body, as if he was admiring a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall. This is a poem inscribed by Cai Jing when he sent a friend who was belittled out of Beijing, and Lin Beat read in a low voice: "Send you without folding Dumen Liu, and send you without Yangguan wine." Only take the branches of Xiling pine, and look at the cold friends of the year. ”

Hearing this poem, Cai Jing slowly turned around, the sharp light in his eyes flashed and disappeared, Lin Beat couldn't help but shiver, his blood was about to coagulate, and when he looked at it again, he saw Cai Gongxiang's beard and kind eyes, like a squire who had retired for a long time. Cai Jing looked at Lin Zhuang's trembling expression, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Du Gongbu Shiyun, famous article, the official should be old and sick, why should the old man fall in love, just retreat to the countryside, tease with his grandson, and retire for the rest of his life." The scenery at the foot of Phoenix Mountain is quite good, and if Lord Lin has time in the future, the old man will also sweep the couch to greet him. ”

Lin beat and said, "Don't dare, don't dare," and then felt sick in his words, and hurriedly changed his words, "What an honor it is for the lower officials, and I hope that the old lady will treat him as a son and nephew, and will not hesitate to teach." He fell to the ground, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

Cai Jing smiled and picked him up, and said in a low voice: "The new successor of the official family is easy to use newcomers, and there are inevitably some people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, are stubborn and arrogant, and the pillars of the court like Lord Lin still need to endure each other for the country." ”

In the White Jade Palace, the official Zhao Ke reviewed the recital, and the impeachment of Cai Jing and his henchmen was like snowflakes. I didn't expect that the seemingly powerful and invincible Prime Minister Cai was like a paper wall in front of his imperial power, and he fell down with a light blow.

"This Lin beats," Zhao Ke picked up a book and said hatefully, "When Bianliang Shizi sent Mr. Huang Zhoushan, he actually mobilized the government and the forbidden army without authorization, which is really unreasonable." Tong Guan, the inspector of the school, took a look at it, and it was Cheng Qin Hui who impeached Kaifeng Mansion Yin in the imperial history, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty Shengming, Lord Qin is also a loyal minister." ”

"Are you loyal?" Zhao Ke snorted lightly at the end of his nose, "When Cai Jing was in power, why didn't he see him fighting for his father's face?" Although he criticized the song, he disdainfully threw it aside. Tong Guan's face changed slightly, and he secretly remembered Zhao Ke's attitude towards Qin Hui in his heart. For more than a month, he carefully served the new emperor who ascended the throne, although Zhao Ke was also brought into the White Jade Palace by Kang Zhengxu, the steward of the East Palace, Tong Guan was still used for errands such as the imperial study, and only a lot of authority was given to Kang Zhengxu from Tong Guan and Liang Shizhong, while Shen Yun still promoted the Imperial City Division.

Zhao Ke read the chapter halfway, stretched his waist, stood up, his eyes involuntarily projected in front of the wide mountain and river graphics, and when he saw Xijing Luoyang, he frowned slightly, Luoyang Xingying deployed Cao Di is the father-in-law of the third prince Zhao Qi, holding heavy troops, like a thorn in his back. His eyes moved to Hebei again, when the Khitan entered the Kou, the Hebei camp collapsed, and Liu Yanqing, the general who went to clean up the situation, actually went to the table to impeach himself, if it weren't for Shen Yun and Chaozhong Qingliu desperately preserved, they were almost abolished, Zhao Ke's eyes couldn't help flashing a cold gle. Further north, it is the Xijing Road, Nanjing Road, Zhongjing Road, Shangjing Road, Tokyo Road of Liaoguo, Yelu Dashi sent a letter of greetings and congratulations at the first time, Zhao Ke is not as good as his father, and secretly said: "Wouldn't it be good if the two countries could not use swords and soldiers and enjoy peace together?" ”

At this moment, Zhao Xingde and the generals of the Chengying Battalion were discussing in the Han military camp in Taibai Mountain to set off an earth-shattering wave in Tokyo Road. According to the rules, Zhao Xingde briefly talked about the topic of the general meeting, and then the centurions spoke freely. Jian Cheng muttered: "General Zhao's strategy is good, but the Han army clearly has ulterior intentions, except for daily training, they don't let us meddle in other affairs in the camp at all. ”

Du Fujiao also said: "These Han army generals are asking us for food, grass and ordnance when they open and close, but don't do a loss-making business." Wang Tongdeng, Ma Rui and others said loudly: "Exactly! For a while, the generals echoed one after another, mixed with gossip and complaints about the Han army. Every time the military council, the centurions began to let out a fire that had usually been pent up.

Jin Changtai coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "The Han army has their plans, it is understandable, the important thing is that we must have our plans, and we must not be led by their noses." After speaking, he looked at Zhao Xingde, since he could come up with this plan to coerce the people, he must have a backhand.

Zhao Xingde smiled slightly, and said slowly: "If you talk about the ability to coerce the people, are you afraid that you can't compare to the Han army?" ”

Jian Cheng immediately reacted and asked, "What does the general mean, is it that we also go down the mountain to coerce the people?" There was a look of surprise and joy on his face, and the generals immediately reacted. The system of the Xia State marching sergeant shade household, the sergeant is fighting in wartime in the country, and he governs the shade household in peacetime, in addition to not using force to strengthen each other, it is really doing the work of coercing the people every day.

"That's right!" Wang Tongdeng slapped the scabbard and grinned: "That's how it should be!" I said it's strange, why did Xingzhi suddenly be so kind to the Han army, and we also went down the mountain to coerce the people to see who wrapped more! The Han army belongs to more than 40 villages, which are not subordinate to each other, and then they want to coerce the people, the situation will be even more chaotic, just suitable for our battalion to fish in troubled waters, not only these Han troops, but also deceived the Khitans and Jurchens, and when they reacted, hehe, it is not so easy to invite the masters out of Liaodong. ”

When the centurion heard him say this, their minds became active. Ma Rui smiled and said in a low voice: "That dare is good, do it well, every sergeant can get more than ten or twenty shade households, and after the power rises, we can be an independent army." After he was the founding general, he suddenly realized that the opportunity to expand the territory and worship the marquis was in front of him, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The generals immediately began to discuss lively, how to tell the military households, how to implement the decrees of the prime minister's government, how to teach farming and weaving, how to deal with the people who were cheating and cheating, how to motivate the households to cultivate more land, how many farm tools and seeds needed to open up the wasteland, and so on. Zhao Xingde was speechless when he heard it, and the experience of these centurions in governing the shade was even far better than him. After the generals discussed for a while, Zhao Xingde gently tapped the handle of his knife under the table twice, signaling everyone to be quiet. He looked around, and the centurions present all listened with bated breath before he said in a deep voice:

"Everyone also knows that this coercion of the people is not only to strengthen the Han army itself, but more importantly, to fish in troubled waters, so that our battalion can take root in Liaodong. Therefore, we must not take it lightly, those valleys suitable for reclamation, I will go to negotiate with the Han army, and draw a few places to be used as the garrison of my battalion, this is a bargain, and I think they will not refuse. For some time to come, the main military task of our battalion will be to survey the terrain and prepare to coerce the people. He turned his head and glanced at Jin Changtai, and said in a deep voice: "Jin Sima has made a detailed plan, first, the source of the people, to avoid direct conflict with the Khitans and other Han armies as much as possible, second, to survey and plan the place of resettlement, to stay away from the Khitan and Jurchen forces, and to keep a certain distance from other Han troops, third, the marching route for each action of the people, and fourth, the necessary materials. There are also things that I think about inconsiderately, and I also ask Jin Sima to add them. ”

Kim Chang-tae said in a deep voice: "Yes." "The generals made a decision, and the marching Sima made a detailed plan, which was also a common practice in the Xia army. There were no objections, and the generals discussed all the relevant matters again, and Kim Chang-tae also recorded them to gather the effect of brainstorming. After discussing this important matter, Zhao Xingde asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”

After a moment of silence, Jin Changtai said, "The last time I attacked Khitan Village, I saw that the bows and arrows used by the Jurchens were very weak, but almost the ones who hit them would die, and they were extremely powerful, so I took a few from the battlefield and brought them back," he took out a few of them from his quiver and made a mark, wrapped them in green cloth and handed them to Zhao Xingde, "This is a poisonous arrow, it is extremely powerful, even if it does not hit the vital point, it will not take long for the poison to die." But the corpse itself was not poisonous. I asked the Han army, this Jurchen's poisonous arrows are powerful, it was originally used for hunting, from small fox squirrels to large sheep, wolves, tigers and leopards, bears, etc., as long as you shoot one or two arrows, you will definitely die. The foreigners were at war with the Jurchens, and they were extremely afraid of their secret poisoned arrows. Zhao Xingde also nodded, secretly a little afraid, after holding Yan Saba hostage, if he was shot by this kind of poisonous arrow, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I see, what a vicious fellow." Ma Rui picked up a poisoned arrow, and with great interest, he picked up the extremely fine poisoned arrow and looked at it, obviously his master had put a lot of effort into the poisoned arrow. The shaft of the arrow was straight, and although the arrow was blunt, it had several grooves carved into it, apparently to get more venom.

Du Fujiao nodded and said: "This poisonous arrow is so powerful, no wonder the Jurchen barbarians wrap themselves tightly with armor." He paused, and suddenly said whimsically: "If the poison is strong enough to kill the bear, there should be no problem with one or two arrows to kill the war horse, even if the toxicity attack is slower, I am not afraid that the Khitan Jurchens will flee after losing the war." ”

He was planning to deal with the cavalry, Wang Tongdeng's face sank, and he was about to retort, but he heard Zhao Xingde say, "In the future, when fighting with the Jurchens, the sergeant will have to wear full armor no matter what, even if it is light leather armor, as long as it is not pierced by this arrow, it is the difference between life and death." Come and don't be rude. There are a lot of poisons in the world, how can the Jurchens be good at winning alone," he paused, and said in a low voice: "In Liaodong, if you can increase your strength, you will have more strength." These words fell on Kim Chang-tae's ears, and he nodded involuntarily.
