"I'm still worried that Wan Yan Liang is not easy to deal with, everyone who opposed him was killed by him, and the rest are as timid as rats, even if Wan Yan Liang leaves Yanjing, they will not dare to betray, and we may not be able to gain a foothold in Liaoyang at that time. Do you want to think about it again? ”

"Will Wan Yanliang give you time to think about it? A businessman can see that the army going south to Gong Song is the best time to start an incident, and someone as smart as Wan Yanliang would not know? What did he ask Gao Cunfu to come to Liaoyang for last year, wasn't he worried that when he led his army south, there would be a fire in the backyard? Now he wants to lead the army south to Gongsong, and he needs the support of the clan, otherwise Gao Cunfu will not come to Liaoyang for a long time without moving, what he wants is to catch you with a substantial handle, get rid of you, even if you can't be caught, he will stare at you to death. But it won't be too long to keep an eye on you, once he doesn't have a good situation in the south, he will inevitably kill you as soon as possible, eliminate the disaster, and then calmly fight with the Song State until he gets what he wants. I've told you many times, don't have any illusions about Wan Yan Liang, don't be afraid of him, he has offended too many people, as long as you handle it properly, those people will become your strongest supporters, the reason why they didn't dare to resist before was because there was no one who dared to lead them to resist, if you raised your arms at that time, they would immediately turn their heads and help you fight with Wan Yan Liang! Not to mention taking Yanjing, even if you take the entire Jin Kingdom, it won't take a few months, and when Yan Liang comes back from the south in a few months, he will find that he has become a loner, and there are countless people who want him to pay for his life, he can't escape for his life, do you dare to come back and fight with you? ”

"So what do we do now?"

"Live in a simple place, stabilize Gao Cunfu, prepare secretly, and wait for Wan Yan Liang to lead the army south, which is the time to start an incident!"

"Uncle, how many troops can we recruit? Can you win Gao Cunfu? ”

"Don't worry, it's not a problem to recruit twenty or thirty thousand people, although Gao Cunfu has an army in his hands, as long as you are there, they can't work hard for Gao Cunfu. You stay at home and don't show up, I'll help you do these things. ”

"I'm sorry uncle."

"If a family doesn't speak two words, I just have a sister, if something happens to you, she won't be better, and I won't be better.

"Yes, I'm waiting at home for news from my uncle."

The conversation in the secret room of the temple was over, and Yang Congyi naturally couldn't know what they were talking about, but from their reactions before, they knew that Li Shi and Wan Yanyong must have considered the possibility of rebellion, otherwise it wouldn't be so peaceful, but they didn't dare to believe him.

Believe it or not, Yang Congyi doesn't care, he just wants to know if Wan Yan Yong has any idea of rebellion, if he didn't have it before, then from today on, he should think about it, if so, his thoughts should be more firm.

Sure enough, less than half a day after returning to the inn, Li Shi came to the door, and didn't say much except business, but gave Yang Congyi a token, telling him that this was a family heirloom from the left-behind adults, and he would not leave easily, and no matter what happened in the future, he could take the token to find the left-behind adults.

Although Li Shi did not say it explicitly, a token tied them together, which undoubtedly gave Yang Congyi a big promise, and also indicated that they accepted his suggestion and gave him the power to help contact his supporters.

After confirming that Yang Congyi understood his intentions, Li Shi left in a hurry.

A day later, Yang Congyi summoned the merchants and big players who had traded with the fleet in Liaoyang Mansion and told them the good news that from April next year, his shop would be established in Liaoyang Mansion and could be traded several times a year.

Everyone was very happy after hearing this, and immediately agreed with Yang Congyi that the first batch of goods coming next year must be given to them, and they will also come up with the best things in exchange.

As long as it is a fair trade, Yang Congyi will naturally agree.

After staying in Liaoyang Mansion for a few days, Yang Congyi, accompanied by a businessman, rushed back to Chenzhou with a group of cattle and horses.

The transaction had already ended, and most of the months ago, Shen Jin had left with most of the sea ships, and there were only five ships left on the shore, including the huge Shenzhou.

After bidding farewell to the merchant who saw him off, Yang Congyi led the fleet offshore, entered the sea with a tailwind, and returned to the base on Chin Island a few days later.

Shen Jin had already made arrangements for the affairs of the north, Yang Congyi did not intervene, and after resting for three days, the fleet left Qin Island and headed south with the wind.

On the way south, after a short stop in Mingzhou, Yang Congyi personally went to the Mingzhou shipyard and placed an order for 100 shipbuilders, including 60 seagoing ships and 40 warships.

In the middle of the month, the fleet returned to Quanzhou, and Yang Congyi sent Meng Yunniang back to her home for less than three days, then left in a hurry and went to Liuqiu with the fleet.

Before leaving, he also went to Quanzhou Shipyard, with a minimum of 100 shipbuilding orders, no upper limit, the more the merrier, and half of the sea ships and warships.

In the Liuqiu camp, 6,000 elite troops have been practicing water warfare, military formations, and cavalry archery in batches, and various trainings are in full swing, while more than 2,000 escort troops have also begun military training when they are slack, manipulating sea ships, training military formations, learning to ride horses, and putting down scythes and hoes.

Before Yang Congyi met with the generals and colonels of the whole army, he first went to see the tens of thousands of acres of fertile camp fields near the camp and the horse farm with an area of more than 100,000 mu in the south of Liuqiu.

In the past three years, the fleet has been exchanging a large number of horses in the north every year, and after several years of breeding, the vast horse farm now has tens of thousands of large and small horses, including more than 8,000 adult horses, nearly 6,000 stallions among the adult horses, and the number of mares is not much.

Among the six thousand stallions, except for the high-quality stallions, most of them were equipped with saddles for the Jingwu army and the escort army to practice riding, and after Shen Jin returned to Liuqiu from the north, three thousand of the good horses entered the Jingwu army barracks, and turned into special military horses.

There are 10,000 horses in the entire horse farm, and only more than 5,000 can go to the battlefield, the number is still too small, but there is no better way at present, so as to maintain the horse farm well, in order to breed more and better war horses as soon as possible.

With the current size of the horse farm, it is not a problem to add 2,000 foals a year, and in three to five years, it is easy to double the number of horses. The larger the horse base, the more mares, the faster the number of horses will increase, and the flow of land is vast, the vegetation is abundant, and raising 50,000 or 60,000 or 100,000 horses is not a problem at all.

It's just that how long the battle of Song and Jin was scorching, and whether there was so much time, is a question.

Yang Congyi stayed in the horse farm for two days, he found that although the guards love horses very much, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like horse wranglers, they don't have the habit of riding horses, and they don't like horses running around.

But he couldn't find anyone who could raise horses in the whole Liuqiu, even if he returned to Quanzhou, he might not be able to find it, there were few horse farms that could raise horses in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the nearest one was still in the Jinghu area, separated from Liuqiu by several thousand miles.

He didn't have a good idea of the current situation of the racecourse, so he simply left it alone, because there were more important things at the moment.

In the meeting hall of the Jingwu Army, Yang Congyi convened the generals to discuss in the name of control, and the Jingwu Army from the main general, deputy general, preparation general to the general, all 37 generals and schools attended, at a glance, quite morale.

"You all look good, it seems that you have fully adapted to the training life in the Liuqiu camp. Most of you are not locals, and now that you are married and have children, I wonder if you can still fight, and if you want to make a contribution. Yang Congyi looked at more than 30 generals, got straight to the point, and asked loudly.

"Yes!"

"Always ready for war!"

"I want to fight, I want to fight in my dreams!"

"My lord, wherever there is a war, we are all going crazy!"

..........

As soon as they heard the inquiry, the generals immediately gossiped and began to get excited inexplicably.

Most of the generals and colonels are old people from the Xuanwei Army, a small number of them don't know each other, some of them don't know each other, the whole army has not fought for seven or eight years, they still have the strength to fight, Yang Congyi is not very clear, he was able to fight Li Yue back then, after so many years, he has no confidence in whether he can compete with the Jin people.

"I'm glad to see the morale is high. Not long ago, I personally went to the north and heard the news that the peace talks between the Great Song and the Jin Kingdom were about to break down, which is good news for some people and bad news for others, so is that good news or bad news for us? Yang Congyi asked loudly, scanning everyone.

When the generals suddenly heard the news, they were all shocked on the spot, and for a while, there was silence in the conference hall.

"So, the Great Song Dynasty wants to start a war with the Jin State and make a northern expedition to the Central Plains?" Xue Wang asked in surprise.

"The Northern Expedition? No, we don't have any more troops, so what kind of Northern Expedition will we take. There was a rebuttal from the imminent colonel.

"My lord, is it really as you expected, that Song Jin will go to war again in the twentieth year of peace? The Great Song Dynasty was unable to go on the Northern Expedition, could it be that the Jin Kingdom wanted to go south? Yao Chang asked loudly.

"Emperor Wan Yan Liang of the Jin State has been preparing for many years to go south and invade Jiangnan. In July and August, when I was in Lin'an, the imperial court was inseparable from the news that Yan Liang was preparing to go south because of the truth or falsehood, and the war with the Jin State was inseparable from the quarrel, and the two factions of courtiers competed against each other, and many people were dismissed from their posts. After the matter of Lin'an was busy, I personally went to the north, and found that the Jin people were indeed preparing for the southern invasion, and had been preparing for more than a year or two, and the Jin court had a decree requiring the local government to levy at least one ox and one horse from each household, and then send it to Yanjing or Bianjing, in addition to this, a large amount of grain has also been transported to Bianjing, and the soldiers from all over the country have begun to gather one after another, all the news points to one thing, the Jin people will immediately go south to invade the Song Dynasty! It is likely that after the thaw in the spring of next year, the army of the Jin Kingdom will begin to move. ”
