(XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) in winter, the yellow mud gang, not like the green trees in the day, the yellow sand is hot. At this time, the yellow mud hill is surrounded by bare dense forests, and a piece of yellow sand and soil and stone on the hill is exposed, which looks extremely desolate.

Wu Zhi sat on a slightly flat and square stone, with a purple brocade robe and a hideous mask, and next to him were Liu Tang and the four people who were tied like zongzi. Qiqiao, Li Ying and the others stood sideways.

Qiqiao was impatient and paced back and forth a few steps, "Brother-in-law! These splashes are such big shelves! Ben girl is going to urge them! ”

Wu Zhi waved his hand, "Don't worry! The hour has not yet come! ”

As he spoke, at the turn of the hill, more than a dozen black dots turned around, moving slowly along the rugged path, Wu Zhi stood up and said with a smile: "Isn't this coming?" ”

This road seems to be very close, but in fact it is far away, tea time, Chao Gai and Wu Yongcai walked in front of Wu Zhi and the others, Wu Yong panted slightly, looked at Wu Zhi and the others dressed up, and said with a smile: "The Mu family gang is coming to Yuncheng, it is really my luck in Dongxi Village!" ”

Wu Zhi smiled slightly, gestured to the back, and several big men went over and lifted Liu Tang and the four of them in front of Chao Gai and put them down gently.

Wu Yong was slightly surprised, "Brother Mu is a refreshing person!" Although Wu Zhi and Qiqiao have faces, Wu Yong and Chao Gai can recognize that this is Mu Wu and Qiqiao at the Haojie Conference.

Wu Zhi smiled: "Since it is a sincere fellowship, Mu naturally trusts Brother Chao." ”

Chao Gai's face was slightly gentle, "Brother Mu is polite." He also waved his hand, and the people behind him carried a few wooden boxes, and Li Ying's subordinates went to take over the inventory.

Wu Zhi remembered something, "That pearl? ……”

Chao Gai said: "Nature is inside!" Seeing that Wu Zhi wanted to speak, he stopped and said: "The three thousand guanquan should wash the dust for the Mu family to help the brothers, and Brother Mu doesn't have to push it back!" ”

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "So Mu is disrespectful." In the future, Brother Chao will go to Jiangnan, and the brother will be entertained again! ”

Liu Tang and several people were untied. With a shameful face, he retreated to the ranks of Dongxi Village, Wu Yong leaned over and whispered to a few people, Wu Zhi sneered, this guy knew that this was the best time to buy people's hearts.

"Brother Chao, let's discuss how to work together to get rid of Huaixi Wang Qing's fang!" Wu Zhi proposed in a loud voice.

Chao Gai nodded slightly, and Wu Yong heard Wu Zhi's words, and hurriedly said a few words to Liu Tang and the others. Rushed over, how could he not be next to such a big event?

Wu Zhi, Chao Gai, and Wu sat on the ground with three people, chuckling and talking slowly, the Mu family gang and Dongxi Village officially formed an alliance, and chatted a few more words. The three of them laughed and said goodbye, and the "Huangnigang Alliance" hurriedly fell into the dust in the scheming of several people.

Wu Zhi looked at the distant backs of the people in Dongxi Village and sneered.

Qiqiao smiled: "Brother-in-law, this covenant is too childish!" ”

Wu Zhi smiled casually: "I don't have time to entangle with them these days, wait for the north to be decided." Let's subdue Huaixi and Shandong! "Infected by Tangram, I feel that it is a bit appropriate to call it "splashy skin".

A bright red sun illuminates the inside of the Forbidden Palace in Tokyo. The huge earth square in front of the Zihuan Hall is unusually quiet. On both sides of the road from Danqi to Donghua Gate, there are solemn guards in costumes. One by one, they did not move, like stone carvings. The shiny paving is terrifying; The white and crystal jade railings, the purple-red high palace walls, and the whale glazed tiles shining in the sun are lifelike pedestrians and beasts...... Under the sunny sky, it looks particularly spectacular, and the six reductions are serious, and the thunderbolt is two hearts! On, L

Wu Zhi was dressed in purple embroidered Luo Mianqiu, and under the guidance of the master of ceremonies and eunuchs, he came to the imperial study of the Forbidden Palace.

After seeing the ceremony, the eunuch next to him moved the soft pier. Zhao Ji smiled and motioned for Wu Zhi to sit down, "Second brother, how is the scenery in Jiangnan?" Sometimes widows really envy you! ”

Wu Zhi knew what he meant by envy, and said with a smile: "The imperial brother has every opportunity, and the blessings of the common people are all in the hands of the imperial brother, and he can't compare to his brother who is so idle and has nothing to do." ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "The second brother seems to be complaining." ”

Wu Zhi was slightly startled, and when he saw Zhao Ji again, his face was very kind, and he knew that he was laughing and relaxed. He smiled angrily: "The younger brother is indeed a little resentful, and the observation makes this errand too tiring, and the imperial brother should order the younger brother to be more leisurely." ”

Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that the second brother won't be idle in the future." Without waiting for Wu Zhi to speak, he asked, "Second brother's injury doesn't matter, right?" ”

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, only to know that Zhao Ji was asking about being injured by Gaoli's stick, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it wasn't that serious at the time, and the five-point injury pretended to be ten." ”

Zhao Ji began to be surprised, and then laughed: "Okay! The second brother is willing to tell the truth to his brother, and he is very relieved for his brother, he already knew that your kid was pretending to be sick at nineteen! "Happy, "you kid" came out.

Zhao Ji laughed for a while, picked up the teacup and groaned. Cha Shui said: "But the Goryeo barbarians are the least trustworthy, and the widows also take the opportunity to break their face!" ”

Wu Zhi said: "Has the imperial brother seen the recital of his minister?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "The matter of the navy and gunpowder has been sent to the Privy Council for discussion, I heard that the quarrel is very fierce," he said and shook his head

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart. Qi, this kind of bureaucratic bloated era is the most ridiculous, and it is probably not far behind the future generations.

"This time I summoned the second brother to Beijing to ask the second brother about the northern border affairs!" Zhao Ji brought up the topic~

Wu Zhi Zhengse said: "I need to teach the Liao people a lesson!" Let him know that the Great Song Tianwei is inviolable! ”

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "The second brother is like a widow, but the ministers all say that they provoke side affairs, work the people and hurt money, and most of them advocate settling things and calming people." ”

Wu Zhi asked, "Cai Xiang also thinks so?" ”

"The chief has some insight and agrees with my proposal, but he is high and low." Zhao Ji sighed.

Wu Zhi nodded silently, knowing that Cai Jing would pat Zhao Ji's ass, if it is common sense, it is indeed inappropriate to start a war with the Liao State at this time, and the nineteenth fell into a war of attrition, which consumed the national strength in vain, and although the heavy infantry of the Song army was well-equipped, the cavalry was very lacking, and the defense was naturally fine, and the attack on the Liao State would end up in defeat. Those ministers also understand it. Cai Jing echoed just to win Zhao Ji's favor, and he was afraid that it was not appropriate to go to war.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, Brother Rong Chen, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!" At this time, the information about the relocation had not yet been transmitted, and Wu Zhi's eyes were dark. There's nothing to be done.

Zhao Ji was a little interested in talking about side affairs, Wu Zhi saw this and told him about the scenery of the southern country and some anecdotes, Zhao Ji laughed heartily, and the two chatted for a long time before Wu Zhi quit and withdrew.

In the next few days, Wu Zhi came to visit the local officials and caused a headache, and many officials hoped that the king would persuade the Holy Lord to raise the army. After all, at this time, everyone knows what to call the king back to Beijing. Zhao Ji is so happy, he has always had the idea of recovering the sixteen states of Youyun, and Cai Jing and others whitewashed the peace, thinking that the world is rich at this time, and he is a strong horse ~ It is to recover Youyun, complete the last wish of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and achieve a good opportunity for hegemony. Seeing that the saint seemed to have a strong intention to raise troops this time, he couldn't persuade ~ Cai Jing, Gao Yu and other ministers who were favored in front of the saint were unwilling to learn directly, and at this time, the king returned to Beijing, and he was the best person to persuade the saint, so he came to the door to lobby.

At this time, the Seed Master Dao was already the Governor of the Privy Council Hexi Fang. Although he is only a six-rank official, his authority is not small, and he is in charge of the defense of all roads in Western Xia. On the second day after Wu Zhi returned to Beijing, he came to visit, and also explained to Wu Zhi the various drawbacks of the Liao at this time, but Wu Zhi just smiled and listened, not committal.

In the end, the planter couldn't help asking: "Lord Wang, could it be that you already have a bamboo in your chest?" "He followed Wu Zhi to the west, knowing that your king didn't seem to know anything about military affairs, but the few ideas that came out at the critical moment were really incredible and convincing. The seed master Dao admired Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi smiled: "Chengzhu didn't." Only a rotten piece of wood! With a smile, he sent out the suspicious planter.

On this day, Wu Zhi sent away the officials who came to visit, and suddenly heard the next person to report, the door servant Xu Jiang asked to see, Wu Zhi was stunned, and Wu Zhi naturally knew that Xu Jiang would help him speak in the temple, but he had been thinking about Xu Jiang's intentions, and it was not good to rush to visit.

Xu Jiang is in his fifties, purple python robe, looking energetic, Wu Zhi welcomed him into the living room with a smile, sat down the guests, and ordered his subordinates to offer refreshments, Xu Jiang smiled and said: "Your king's trip to Jiangnan is still going well?" ”

Wu Zhi nodded: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and Wu is worth the trip." ”

Xu Jiang sighed and said: "The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful, but they are not as beautiful as the scenery in the north." ”

Wu Zhixin said this, "What does Lord Xu mean?" ……”

General Xu said: "With all due respect to the old man, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are really the pain of my Great Song Dynasty, but at this time, it is really not the time to use troops in vain!" Saying that, he looked at Wu Zhi's expression.

Wu Zhi remained silent: "Lord Xu is reasonable, now that the four seas are peaceful, it is indeed not the time to make a vain move." ”

Xu Jiang shook his head and said, "The four seas are leveled? But it may not be the case! ”

Wu Zhi tasted tea and was silent.

General Xu sat for a while, and suddenly said, "Your king, the old man has taken his leave." ”

Wu Zhi was stunned, but saw that Xu Jiang had already stood up and arched his hand, turned around and walked out, Wu Zhi hurriedly followed, and a wry smile in his heart, what was this old boy thinking?

A few days later, Jin Lian, Zhu'er returned to Beijing, Wu Zhi and Jin Lian's night and night fierce battles, crazy lingering do not need to be detailed, more than ten days later, Jin Lian made a pair of dark circles, made a fuss about Zhu'er, and made Jin Lian so ashamed that he didn't dare to go out to see people.

The information of the time shift was transmitted back from Wujiazhuang, and Wu Zhi let go of the "poor" Jin Lian, and every day after dinner, he locked himself in the secret room, and he didn't know what he was studying. A few days later, Wu Zhi left the customs with a smile, and several urgent documents also came out of your palace, south or north, galloping away.

In the imperial study, Zhao Ji finally waited for Wu Zhi, these days he is looking forward to wearing, just waiting for Wu Zhi to have any wonderful ideas, after all, as his "nobleman," Wu Zhi's magical performance when he went to the west made him full of confidence in Wu Zhi. More than half a month has passed, although Zhao Ji did not mention the matter of conquering Liao with his ministers again, but the fire in his heart is getting more and more intense, and it is difficult for him to sleep and eat. , male h

Wu Zhi and Zhao Ji had a secret discussion in the imperial study for a long time, and the eunuch Gong Eshan picked up Wang and went out to rank two, and no one knew what the two of them said. I only know that Gui Gui Liao retired and returned to life, Jiang Lie Qizhou smiled and paced back and forth in the imperial study, as if he had not seen him look so cheerful since the Holy Lord ascended the throne.

A few days later. Zhao Ji issued an order, Gaoyang Guan Road pacified Liu Yu to investigate the enemy unknown, so that the defeat of the real determination, there was a loss of the country, and the noble king Wu Zhi went out to Fu Gaoyang Guan Road. Boost morale and monitor Liu Yu's mistakes.

The appointment did not stir up a ripple in Beijing, Zhending lost more than 1,000 soldiers, always looking for ding, scapegoats, this black cauldron can not be carried by the Daimyo garrison Liang Zhongshu, and although Sanzhuang is in the realm of Zhending, it is the closest to Yingzhou. The people and horses who lost the land also belonged to Yingzhou, and they could not blame the Dingzhou Road Envoy. Liu Yu has become the best choice to carry the black pot. However, some ministers also believe that your king's trip to the north this time will not be to boost the morale of the Hebei soldiers, and the seat of Gaoyangguan Road Jingluo must be your king's land. Although there were also ministers who objected, such as the privy envoy An Gongzhuo, who thought that it was inappropriate for a prince with a foreign surname to take charge of military power, Zhao Ji's will did not explicitly appoint an envoy to Wuzhi Gaoyangguan Road. There is only Gu Ran's mouth

And Wu Zhi, on the second day of his appointment, took Qiqiao and a dozen guards, and quickly rode towards Hebei. Although gathering less and leaving more with the Golden Lotus Land made Wu Zhi a little depressed, he went north this time. The stakes are high, but it is not the time for children to be in love.

Yingzhou, in the fifth dynasty, was annexed by the Liao State together with the sixteen states of Youyun, and was recaptured after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and it also became the forefront of the Liao. There are always tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed, and the Gaoyang Guan Road Pacification Strategy Division is located in Yingzhou.

Yingzhou repaired the high walls of the city, and the guards of the city were very strict in checking the pedestrians, in case there was a Liao State mixed in, and the soldiers in the city gate were bright and bright, and the soldiers in the city gate made Wu Zhi nod slightly, maybe this northward trip could get a satisfactory result.

The guard stepped forward and showed his waist card, pointed to a military man to lead the way, and ran to the company.

Liu Yu got the message, and hurriedly took a group of officials out to greet him, and he didn't need to elaborate on what he said when he saw Wu Zhi.

After greeting the officials politely. Wu Zhi and Liu Yu came to the study of the Jinglu Division, retreated left and right, Wu Zhi handed over the secret decree of Huizong to Liu Yu, the little fat man was sweating profusely, and his mouth stammered: "Your king Chitose, this ...... Is this really? ”

Wu Zhi's eyes widened: "Bold, what do you mean by this?" ”

Only then did Liu Yu realize what he was talking about, and waved his hands continuously, "The lower official lost his words, and the lower official lost his words......

Wu Zhi looked at this little fat man coldly, Liu Yu? Is it the emperor who will serve the Jin Kingdom as the main land in the future? A traitor who established a puppet Qi state?

Liu Yu saw that Wu Zhi's face was uncertain, and his heart was flustered, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Wu Zhi. The study was quiet for a moment, and Liu Yu's slightly rapid breathing was very harsh.

Wu Zhi snorted coldly: "Lord Liu, doesn't he still have questions about the Holy Secret Decree?" ”

Liu Yu hurriedly said, "No...... There is no doubt, it's just that the lower officials are stupid, and they can't understand the saint's foresight for a while...... "The chubby forehead was already full of sweat beads of sweat that Wu Zhi was frightened. Liu Yu knew that the saint would definitely be condemned because of the battle of Zhending, but he didn't know if he would be dismissed and return to his hometown, he didn't eat well these days, and he couldn't sleep well. Today, I heard that your king came to Yingzhou, and my heart was even more uneasy, and when I saw your king take out the secret decree of the earth saint, he was really dumbfounded, not because the saint wanted to deal with him again, but in the secret decree, the king was ordered to temporarily control Gaoyang Pass, Dingzhou two roads of soldiers and horses, and subordinate border matters.

Liu Yu is not a fool, Ma L is old This is the saint's intention to start a war with the Liao State, and it doesn't seem to be a small revenge: ...... It is to make a big move, and I am surprised in my heart, the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry is not a vegetarian, and in these years of border conflicts, the Song army is seven or eight out of ten at a disadvantage.

Wu Zhi didn't care what he thought, and said coldly: "This matter is very important, and you can't leak a word." ”

Liu Yu nodded again and again.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Lord Liu, don't worry, maybe this is the time for adults to become famous?" ”

Liu Yu nodded with a smile: "With your king Chitose to guide the lower officials, the lower officials must be a hundred times smarter, and it is unknown if they may be able to make some small contributions." ”

Wu Zhi smiled, stood up and said, "This king is going to go to Zhending and the Daimyo Mansion for a trip, and then come back in a few days to clean up the military horses!" ”

Liu Yu Lianzhujie nodded and sent Wu Zhigong out of the Economic Strategy Division.

Wu Zhi and his entourage went out of Yingzhou, galloped along the official road, rushed for nearly half a day, and had reached the boundary of Zhending, and there was a fork in the road ahead, Wu Zhi turned his head to Qiqiao and said: "That road is the road to Wujiazhuang!" Thinking of the catastrophe in Wujiazhuang, I was gloomy for a while.

Qiqiao listened to the big eyes rolling, and suddenly pulled the reins violently, and the mount hissed and stood upright. Wu Zhi and the others grabbed their mounts one after another, not knowing what Qiqiao was going to do?

Qiqiao smiled: "Brother-in-law! I'm going to see Samurai! ”

Wu Zhi nodded slightly. It's the same with whether to take her with you to Zhending Mansion, and I told the guards who knew the road and Qiqiao to go together, and instructed: "Don't mess around when you get there." ”

Qiqiao smiled: "I know, it seems that people know how to mess around." With a silver bell-like laugh, he turned the horse's head. After a few whips, the horse suffered from pain and arrows burst out.

Wu Zhi shook his head, urged his mount, and rushed out first, and the guards behind hurriedly followed, and Wu Zhi in the gallop enjoyed the strong wind. Feeling slightly happy, he closed his eyes slightly, and pinched the horse's belly a few times with his legs to let it run faster.

When Wu Zhi was happy, he suddenly heard a sound of horses and twins in front of him, which seemed to be very familiar. When I opened my eyes, I saw a white shadow floating in front of me. Before Wu Zhi could see it clearly, he had already passed by him. Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, but he also knew who had just passed. Shaking his head with a smile, seeing that the Zhending Mansion was already looming in front of him, he gently pulled the reins and let the horse jog.

Suddenly, the crisp bell rang from far and near, as if it was chasing after him. Wu Zhi frowned, could it be that he still came to seek revenge? Reaching out and touching the back of my neck, there is no golden sword, I am not the Wuxia Ameng of the past.

Still the same, the white shadow swept in front of Wu Zhi's horse and stopped suddenly, but the mounts of Wu Zhi and several guards screamed in shock.

Wearing a white dress like snow, it shows the beauty of the third sister.

Several guards shouted, but the third sister ignored it, and said to Wu Zhi: "How are you?" ”

Wu Zhi is inexplicably right.

The third sister pointed to Wu Zhi's chest.

Wu Zhi nodded slightly: "Well, it's good morning!" ”

Several guards discovered that the two knew each other. Hurriedly stopped scolding and flashed aside.

The third sister said "oh", "I'm leaving." ”

Wu Zhi couldn't help but say, "You...... It seems to have lost weight! ”

The third sister suddenly smiled, the iceberg-like beauty was so brilliant, "Ai is so dazzling, just let me go!" The white shadow of the Bugang River drifted away like the wind, leaving only a faint fragrance. J Chuan Gong Mikawa Lito

Wu Zhi smiled helplessly and beckoned the guards to continue on their way.

Dingzhou Road passes through the Yamen of the Strategic Division.

Fan Zhixu, the envoy of Dingzhou Road, saw the secret decree of Huizong, but his face was full of joy, and he said with a smile: "Your king will definitely succeed this time!" "After all, there is no clear statement in the secret decree that he wants to start a war with Liao, and Fan Zhixu can't pierce this piece of paper.

Wu Zhi Weijue Temple Monster asked, "How can Fan Jingluo be so sure?" ”

Fan Zhixu said proudly: "My Song Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, the land is vast and rich, and the treasury has been rich in recent years!" How can the barbarian states be compared? ”

Wu Zhi was almost not angry with him, and he was born as a Jinshi who could only talk rhetorically, and he could still defeat the Liao State by relying on their Great Song Dynasty, thinking of the two envoys in Xinjiang here, one was a traitor embryo, greedy for life and afraid of death. A man who was ashamed of his words and made no achievements, was depressed for a while, and coughed dryly: "Fan Jingluo's words are good, borrow your auspicious words, borrow your auspicious words!" ”

Fan Zhixu hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiaguan has really had a headache in the past few days, I don't know if the prince has heard of Hebei Hu Wushuang?" ”

Wu Zhifang wanted to nod, but when he thought it was wrong, he hurriedly shook his head.

Fan Zhixu said: "I want to come to the prince to live in the capital for a long time, and I have never heard of her reputation, Hu Wushuang is a person from the border Hujiazhuang, with superb martial arts, and there are many fierce generals in Hebei, he is really a heroine among women......"

Wu Zhi listened to him boasting endlessly, and his eyes lit up, and he didn't hide his admiration, and couldn't help but say, "What does Fan Jingluo mean?" ”

Fan Zhixu was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and seemed to put aside the unrealistic fantasy in his mind, "These days, Hu Wushuang has repeatedly come to find the lower officials, and asked the lower officials to play the imperial court and crusade against the Liao State, and also said that she is willing to ...... for the vanguard of the Liao."

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, it seems that Hujiazhuang must have suffered a great loss, arousing the anger of the proud girl, but her request is ridiculous, no matter how famous she is, but Buyi, how can she be a pioneer if she wants to be a pioneer? It is really naïve to force one side to skip the table.

Fan Zhixu saw Wu Zhi's thoughtful appearance, didn't dare to say any more, and picked up the teacup to taste tea.

A few days later, Wu Zhi finally returned to Wujiazhuang again, and at this time, Wujiazhuang was no longer the village wall built with random blue bricks before, but was replaced by a large bluestone pedestal, several feet thick and surrounded by walls.

Wu Zhi and Lin Chong, who came to greet him, hugged each other heavily, Lin Chong was obviously not used to the enthusiasm of your king, and he seemed at a loss for a while, and his face was red.

Qiqiao coughed heavily. Wu Zhi let go of Lin Chong with a smile, "Take me to see Zhuangzi." ”

The tenant farmers in the Zhuangzi saw Wu Zhi, and they came forward to say hello, in the hearts of these tenant farmers, their owners are too great, they can take out 100,000 guan to renovate the Zhuangzi for them, 100,000 guan, the whole Zhuangzi is not worth it, and if it wasn't for the repair of the Zhuangzi last time, I am afraid that all the tenant farmers in the Wujiazhuang will not escape death, Wu Zhi's kindness really can't help but make them grateful.

While visiting the earth-shaking Wujiazhuang, while listening to Lin Chong's introduction to the situation of Wujiazhuang, at this time Wujiazhuang, there are already more than 1,000 Zhuang guests, nearly 1,000 capable of selecting from the township soldiers, the selected township soldiers do not do anything to produce, issued by the Wujiazhuang to the silver, these two thousand people practice day and night, enough to be called elite soldiers, but unfortunately more than 300 people died in the first battle a month ago, plus more than 200 people were seriously injured, and the loss was more than 500. Wu Zhi sighed. angry, so Lin Chong took himself to worship these heroes of Wujiazhuang.
