Chapter 739: Xingju before the Great War

"Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, swear to kill the enemy, kill ~ kill ~ kill ~"

Di Qing looked at the soldiers training on the school field a little speechlessly, and after a while, he asked Cao Tong next to him: "When did the army start shouting this kind of trumpet?" ”

"It's all done by the junior disciples who came out of the martial arts, it is said that after we graduated, the martial arts has added a lot of loyal and patriotic courses, and as a result, the junior disciples who have come out in recent years are more and more fanatical than the other, this is not about to attack the party, these people are all waiting for meritorious service." Cao Tong also laughed at this time.

Di Qing went to South Vietnam some time ago to destroy the Li Dynasty, and then immediately rushed to Xingzhou, he has just arrived for two days, and now he has come to inspect the army drills below. Xingzhou used to be the nest of the party members, but now it has become the rear of the Great Song Dynasty to attack the party, and the 100,000 troops are all gathered here to practice day and night, just waiting for the order from above.

"The credit is on the battlefield, it depends on whether they have the ability to take it." Di Qing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this time he made a great contribution in the Li Dynasty, although the Li Dynasty is a small country, but it is also a contribution to the destruction of the country, but he is still too young, so the main person who attacks the party will be Cao Yu's cousin Cao Yu, who is also Di Qing's old boss, and this time Di Qing is responsible for assisting Cao Yu together with another veteran Meng Yao.

"Don't underestimate our junior brothers, their conditions are much better than ours, they were assigned to serve in various armies a year before they graduated, it can be said that they all went to the battlefield before graduation, plus these people dare to fight, maybe they can really grab a lot of credit on the battlefield!" Cao Tong immediately laughed again.

Just when Di Qing was chatting with Cao Tong, he suddenly saw someone rushing to report: "Qi two generals, appease the envoy and invite the two to go over to discuss matters!" ”

Cao Yu is the main general, the real official position is actually the pacification envoy of Xingqing Road, and Di Qing and the two heard Cao Yu call him to discuss the matter, and immediately left quickly, because as far as they know, the army has been prepared, and the imperial court is likely to order an attack at any time, and now that the year has passed, the weather is getting warmer day by day, spring is the most critical and important season for the grassland people, and after a winter of consumption, their food is not much, so it is also the best time for the Great Song Dynasty to attack.

Di Qing and Cao Tong walked quickly to the pacification envoy yamen, but as soon as they entered the hall, they saw that all the generals at all levels in the army had gathered here, and they also greeted each other when they saw the two coming in, but Cao Yu had not yet come, so everyone was quite relaxed, and they were all chatting casually at this time.

"General Meng, is there news from the imperial court?" Di Qing came to a veteran and asked in a low voice, this veteran is Meng Yao, this person is known for his steadiness in his army, this time to attack the party, because Cao Yu is still a little young, so Zhao Zhen arranged for Meng Yao, a veteran, to assist.

"News did come from the imperial court, but this time was a critical moment before the war, and the news from the imperial court came one after another, and I don't know what kind of news came this time." General Meng Lao stroked his gray beard and replied, although he and Di Qing are very different in age, but the relationship between the two is good, in the Yanyun battlefield back then, the two used to fight side by side, and they can be regarded as living and dying together, this time they assisted Cao Yu together, which deepened the friendship between the two.

"If it was general news, the general would not have gathered all of us, and it seems likely that it is the date when the imperial court is preparing to send troops." Di Qing immediately opened his mouth to analyze.

"Don't guess, we'll know when the general comes out, speaking of which, you have made a contribution to destroying the country before, and this credit is unique in our Great Song Dynasty!" Meng Yao patted Di Qing on the shoulder at this time and said with a smile, when he saw Di Qing for the first time, he felt that this young man was quite extraordinary, and his future achievements were limitless, and now his guess was indeed fulfilled.

"A mere Li Dynasty is nothing at all, I heard that there are even more small countries in Nanyang, it is too easy to destroy them, in comparison, Dang Xiang and Liao can really be called the fierce rivals of our Great Song Dynasty!" Di Qing replied very modestly.

In fact, this attack on the Li Dynasty was not as easy as Di Qing said, although the combat effectiveness of the Li Dynasty army was weak, but the environment of the Li Dynasty was too bad, especially the damp and gloomy jungle, which made them very uncomfortable, fortunately, they mainly attacked all the way along the Red River to Thang Long by boat, and Li Foma was not willing to abandon the city and flee, which allowed them to encircle and annihilate in one fell swoop.

However, although the Li Dynasty has been defeated now, it is still not calm in various places, but the Zhancheng side immediately expressed their loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty and actively assisted the Great Song Dynasty in ruling the Li Dynasty, but these are none of Di Qing's business, so he will come back so quickly.

"Speaking of Nanyang, I heard that there is gold everywhere, and there are precious spices everywhere, and you can bring back a boatload of gold with one trip, Brother Di, is it true?" At this moment, Cao Tong also came over and asked curiously, Di Qing had just come back for two days, and the two of them had their own things to do, so he didn't have time to talk to Di Qing in detail.

"There is gold and spices, but it would be an exaggeration to say that they are everywhere, I once saw the fleet coming back from the Nanyang in the Li Dynasty, and I heard those merchants say that although there are many valuable things in the Nanyang, there are also murderous natives, plus the risks at sea, so it is not easy for them to be merchants." Di Qing told what he had heard.

"How cruel can a native be? No matter how ferocious it is, it is not as good as the Dangxiang and the Khitans, there are many dangers at sea, but it is not impossible to overcome, if there is a chance in the future, I would like to go to Nanyang to see it! Cao Tong also showed a very interested expression at this time.

"Hearing you say this, I'm an old man who is tempted, with my age, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the army for a few years, if I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to go to Nanyang to see, if I can earn some money for my children and grandchildren, it would be better." General Meng Lao was also quite interested at this time.

His family has a big business, there are more than a dozen sons alone, and there are dozens or hundreds of grandchildren, so it is a little difficult for such a large family to rely on his money to support, so he is very interested in things that can make money.

"General Meng, if you really have ideas about Nanyang, I will help you introduce a few friends in the navy, they are more familiar with the sea, and they also know a lot of maritime merchants, you can find a few reliable maritime merchants to invest some money, I heard that because of the high risk at sea, maritime merchants are also very willing to let others invest money in order to share the risk." Di Qing laughed again at this time.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of calm footsteps from behind the hall, and then I saw Cao Mata, who was the main general, finally walked in.
