Xiao Tang also understood in his heart what Wu Song meant by the big thing, so he said, "Yes... Now that the Western Border Army has been mobilized, it seems that the time for the Great Song Dynasty to use troops against the Xia State is not far off. ”

Wu Song also nodded, and said: "Although the Xia Kingdom called the ministers to seek peace before, but in the border land, the Xia thieves repeatedly committed border massacres and looting, and I also heard a few ministers in the military division of the Yanyan Road say that if you can take the land of Hengshan, the Xia thieves will not lose the barrier and have no danger to defend, and they will not teach the Hengshan Qiang to enter the country and kill and injure the good people, but in the past few years, when the money and food were not enough, the reckless use of troops would only work the people and hurt the money, and now everything is ready to stop, and the Xia thieves have committed several border closures, and now they want to get rid of the thief chieftain, but also to try to ......do it once and for all."

Speaking of general, Wu Song paused for a moment, and then said: "There is also a letter from my brother's side, saying that he has passed the exam, and he can also compete for a background as long as he passes the spring exam." There are brothers in Qinghe County, the steward in your market town is also very relieved, and now I only want to do a big business, taking advantage of this time to fight for fame, I am so glorious that I am a martial arts lintel...... Since you are also planning to ask for your life to conquer the summer, it will not be long before you and I can fight side by side again to fight the chief and kill the thief. ”

Listening to Wu Song's words, Xiao Tang also felt a lot of emotion, this infantry leader who should have been the fourteenth in Liangshan Bo is now bent on seeking a career in the army. However, I thought that Wu Song, who originally wanted to find a way out in the public gate with his ability in the original work, did not have a reciprocal murder case because of repeated homicides, and was not allowed to be transformed into a reckless man who was most opposed to defecting to the imperial court under the subtle influence of Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others.

It's just that thinking of the experience of Lin Chong and others, Xiao Tang can't help but secretly think that even if Wu Song's Song army forgets to die, can he really get what he wants?

Xiao Tang and Wu Song talked again, and suddenly heard someone knock on the door, and when Xiao Tang opened the door to look, he saw Liu Fa and Zhai Jin, Zhai Xing and other generals standing outside the door, Liu Fa saw Xiao Tang, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Xiao Jieshuai is also there, and I also learned that Wudu is the head of the front and drank blood, and killed the thief chieftain to lose his soul, and he is worthy of being a good son tempered in the border court army." This time, I came to visit when I was free, I don't know how Wudu's head injury was? ”

"Now it doesn't seem to matter much."

Xiao Tang looked over at Wu Song and said with a smile. And Wu Song saw that Liu Fa, who was a respected person in the Western Army, came to visit in person, so he hurriedly jumped out of bed, and bowed to Liu Fa and said: "Meng Liu Jieshuai inquired, but it only damaged the skin and flesh, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and it was natural to be fine for some time." ”

Liu Fa stared at Wu Song for a moment, and suddenly said: "You are excellent in martial arts, and you can be a fierce general who kills thieves in battle, but the method of marching and arranging the formation and dispatching the emperor are all important matters for the soldiers, and the generals must not ignore them...... For the time being, I will join you as the second general of Yan Yanlu, but if you build a miracle and make a good work, you will definitely be promoted again. ”

Wu Song was stunned at first when he heard this, it is said that he has served in the Western Army for many years, but he has not been promoted like Han Shizhong at that time. Now I heard that Liu Fa intended to promote him to be the second general of Dunyan Road, not only a general who could command several battalions of soldiers and horses during the campaign, but also a direct subordinate under Liu Fa, the commander of the Yanyan Road Soldiers and Horses. And Liu Fa's prestige in the Western Army, Wu Song is naturally familiar with it, and if he can be appreciated and cultivated, can he just let himself take advantage of it?

Wu Song immediately showed joy on his face, and bowed to Liu Fana: "If you are promoted by the favored official, you will not receive it for life!" ”

Liu Fa shook his head and sighed, "You don't have to thank me, you deserve to be sent in such a ministry." Loyal, brave and resolute soldiers are the country's dependence, and aspiring strong men dare to go to difficulties for the country regardless of life and death...... How could I do such a stupid thing to destroy the Great Wall? ”

Xiao Tang's expression moved when he heard this, and he felt that Liu Fa seemed to have something to say. At this moment, Liu Fa turned his head again and said to Xiao Tang: "I have also heard that Xiao Jieshuai and Xiao Chong Jing are cooking wine and discussing soldiers, and I am willing to take advantage of the resumption of the Song and Xia wars to establish outstanding martial arts. A few years ago, our western army won a great victory, mobilized 100,000 troops to build forts in Yanyan, Hedong, Linfu and other places, and set up the Jinning army in Jialu Village, all in order to control and strangle the Xia State Hengshan, Tiandu Mountain and other dangerous places, and now Xiao Jieshuai asked for orders to calm down Hedong, and selected and trained the new army here to form a trilogy, I am afraid that it is also the intention of pointing at the Xia realm from the Hedong Road and containing the Xia army from the flank, right? ”

Like Liu Fa, a veteran general on the battlefield who has extremely rich experience in warfare, Xiao Tang also knew that he would inevitably teach him to see his intentions, so he said: "These thoughts of the younger generation naturally can't be hidden from General Liu. In fact, the younger generation was given the official edict, and he was the minister of the country's reuse, and he tried his best to be loyal and righteous, protect the country and protect the people, and now that our dynasty was about to use troops against Xia, he recommended himself to Hedong to do something, first, to exterminate the tyrannical and vicious party here, and secondly, it was indeed necessary to set up a new army on the west bank of the Yellow River, and when the Song and Xia wars resumed, they could echo each other from afar as a partial division and the Western Army, so as to be prepared. ”

Liu Fa smiled slightly after hearing this, he looked at Xiao Tang, and then looked at Wu Song, and said meaningfully: "Wudutou plans to make a name for himself in the Northwest Army, and Xiao Jieshuai also wants to take this opportunity to build an immortal achievement, and strive for a surname to become famous, and the world has heard of it, and I am also looking forward to working with Xiao Jieshuai in Hengshan in Xia Kingdom to break the enemy again." ”

Xiao Tang said a few words of humility to Liu Fa in his mouth, but he secretly said in his heart: It can be seen that Liu Fa is indeed an upright and upright person, who is respected by the Western Army, and also wants to cultivate a rising star in the army, but you don't know that you have been involved in the battle for military power, I am afraid that Tong Yuan Xiang has already figured out how to deal with you now, when the war between the two countries of Song and Xia is ignited again, according to the original trajectory, it will also be you, a natural god, will be forced to fall into the encirclement of the enemy, and be led by the enemy chieftain. The time of his tragic death......

Although they have not been together for a long time, Xiao Tang also has a very good impression of Liu Fa, a famous general who is highly respected in the Western Army, and among the military departments of the Northwest Frontier Court, such as Liu Qi and Wu Jue, most of the famous generals who were active in the anti-Jin War in the early Southern Song Dynasty are not well-known, but Liu Fa is one of the best generals in the Western Army during this period.

But now Xiao Tang also knows that although the relationship between him and Tong Guan is quite harmonious, if he wants to interfere in the fact that Tong Guan gradually controls the military power of the Western Army, he must take action to protect Liu Fa's thoughtfulness. And Tong Guan and Minister Cai Jing are now in collusion in the court, plus a third lieutenant Gao Yu who has always been eager to get rid of him......

With Xiao Tang's current power scheming skills, if he openly tears his face with these old and sophisticated power traitors, I am afraid that he will also be in danger. So how should this famous general Liu Fa be saved?
