Fang Jinshi sighed when he heard this: "When the official army of the Great Song Dynasty can use the strength of grabbing merit to charge into battle, they will definitely be invincible." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Xiaozhong has been in the army for a long time, and of course he knows these things, so he interjected: "It has been like this in the army for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to return, and it is not easy to change these things." ”

Fang Jinshi thought that he was also aggrieved and let people take the credit, and he agreed with Li Xiaozhong's words very much, sighed and said: "The Northwest armies are like this, not to mention the garrisons in other places, by the way, what did Chief Xie Liang and Xie say?" ”

Shao Xing said: "Chief Manager Xie sent troops to the vicinity of Huimeng Mountain every three or five to disturb for a few days, as if he was exterminating. ”

Fang Jinshi laughed when he heard this: "No wonder he didn't let Brother Zhang rush to recruit An, without this gang of robbers on Huimeng Mountain, what reason did he take to ask the court for money and food?" The Western Xia is not easy to fight, the Jin State cannot be beaten, and the robbers on the Huimeng Mountain and the Tiger Mountain have become the food and clothing parents of the officials and soldiers, and they cannot be suppressed or destroyed. ”

Li Xiaozhong looked at Shao Xing and said: "The elder brother is thousands of miles away, but he has insight into the internal causes of the situation, and admires and admires it, but isn't General Manager Xie afraid that Leader Zhang will regret and no longer accept Zhao'an?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Is Brother Li asking me to answer the question, then I'll try to guess that Shao Jinqing was stationed in Roufu County with Tu Gaozhi when I left, and at this time he had so much leisure time to come to this land south of the Yangtze River, it was mostly because he was recruited by Huimeng Mountain." ”

Li Xiaozhong patted his thigh and said, "I'm really convinced of you, I can think of this." ”

Shao Xing smiled on the side and said: "What is this, Leader Fang led a thousand men and horses to the land of tigers and wolves to rescue the brothers of Huimengshan in Yunnei Prefecture, not only let the food swallowed by the tiger obediently spit out, but also pulled out teeth in the tiger's mouth and robbed a soft clothing county, which is called wonderful." ”

Usually when others praise him, Fang Jinshi will not be modest, but in front of Li Xiaozhong, he is still embarrassed to be too cheeky and boastful, so he said: "Actually, it's not like that, it's just too lucky, and the brothers of Huimengshan also trust me." ”

Shao Xing said: "You left the county seat of Roufu, Zhao Liangtian Xing and they also inquired about where you went, whether it was the brothers on the Huimeng Mountain, or the officers and soldiers of the flood camp, everyone obeyed your control, and followed you in a happy mood without being aggrieved. ”

Fang Jinshi sighed for a moment and said: "I also miss the days when I was full of spirit and pride with my brothers, but when I am old, I will come down comfortably after I am relieved, and I don't have that ambition." When he said, "When you are old, you will understand Jia and return to the field", Huang Jinmian couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, and Li Xiaozhong laughed even more: "If you call yourself old, then I won't be asked by others every day if I can still eat?" ”

Shao Xing smiled and said: "Chief Manager Xie asked me to wait for the brothers of Huimeng Mountain to change the defense from Roufu County and allocate it to the command of Fengxiang Army, Chen Lujun also brought a group of brothers from Huimeng Mountain to the Jingyuan Army in Quduan, there are less than 2,000 people on Huimeng Mountain, and General Manager Xie is not afraid that Brother Zhang will regret it, and I am also happy to be leisurely, so I took leave to come to Jiangnan to see the scenery." ”

Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that you guys are in a hurry, I set up a wedding banquet today, and you arrived, no wonder the magpie is calling in the morning, those things are actually not really good, my biggest ability is to be a brother-in-law with Brother Zhang, and ask Sister-in-law Zhang's sister to be a ......" He suddenly stopped saying this, turned his head to look at Huang Jinmian standing behind him and said, "Did I say it wrong?" It's also true that you just screw me up again and won't let me say it. It turned out that Huang Jinmian heard that he didn't have a door on his mouth, so he secretly twisted his waist to prevent him from speaking.

Li Xiaozhong and Shao Xing laughed together, Huang Jinmian pretended to be annoyed and turned around and walked to the back room, Fang Jinshi said: "Her temper has become much better recently, she knows how to be reasonable, Brother Li, I have something for you to see." ”

He approached the back room, and Huang Jinmian saw him come in, and whispered, "You are really true, you can't save some face for me." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Tell me what you're afraid of, don't be angry." He hugged Huang Jinmian and kissed her on the face, took a white cloth bag under the bed and went out, Huang Jinmian gave him this hug, and he no longer had a temper.

Fang Jinshi took the white cloth bag out of the inner room, put it on the table in front of Li Xiaozhong and Shao Xing outside, and said, "Brother Li, how about you look at this axe?" ”

Li Xiaozhong reached out and took it, tore off the white cloth bag, picked up the Persian piercing axe inside, looked at it carefully, he weighed the weight, tried the edge with his fingers, and played with it: "Good edge." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "This is the Persian piercing axe, which was given to me by the Persian prince who drank with me today, Brother Li, you have been in the army for a long time, if this axe is equipped for the sergeant to go into battle to kill the enemy, how effective do you think?" ”

Li Xiaozhong frowned and said: "Although this axe is profitable, it is used for farmers to chop wood, or carpenters to do carpentry to use it, but it is scrap iron when going into battle, and no one wants to use it." ”

Fang Jinshi said with great surprise: "Isn't it sharp?" ”

Li Xiaozhong explained: "Sharpness is sharpness, but it is a little smaller, it can only attack at close range and not far, the two armies are fighting, the weapons are advantageous, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as that of the Liao people of the Jin State, and the weapons are short, they will be frightened, and they will be defeated before the battle." ”

Fang Jinshi listened to Li Xiaozhong's explanation, and couldn't help but be discouraged, he thought that this Persian piercing axe was sharp and could make a big difference in the army, the Persians were strong, and the opponent's tactical formation was much more backward than that of the Central Plains people of the Great Song Dynasty.

He chatted with Li Xiaozhong Shao Xing for a while, and sent the two to the inn to rest, Li Xiaozhong Shao Xing needed to stay for a few days to buy medicinal herbs and visit relatives and friends, and he would not leave Pingjiang Mansion for a while.

The night was deep, and the surroundings finally quieted down, Fang Jinshi stretched deeply in the room and said to Huang Jinmian: "I'm so tired, I just invited a few friends from the business scene, who knew that it was so late." ”

Huang Jinmian said: "If you are tired, you should rest early." ”

Fang Jinshi hugged her and sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Although it is said that today is to set up wine and marry a concubine, but it can always be regarded as a candle night in the cave room, and no matter how tired you are, you can't rest early." ”

The golden cotton diamond threw himself down in his arms, and grinned, "Didn't you spend the night in the cave room a long time ago?" ”

Fang Jinshi patted his head and pretended to be puzzled: "Why don't I remember...... Do you remember? ”

Huang Jinmian said with a smile: "I, I don't seem to remember......" As he spoke, he had already put his hand into his waist under his clothes, and the two were lingering and frolicking affectionately, and there was a subordinate outside: "Fang Guanren, there are guests visiting outside." ”

Huang Jinmian whispered, "Someone is looking for you." ”

Fang Jinshi was a little angry and said: "The rouge horse will have to be ridden, and I won't see it when the Heavenly King Laozi comes." ”

Huang Jinmian lightly hammered him, because this word was a little vulgar, and then she said: "Someone came to visit so late, it is either an important thing or an important person, don't miss the right thing." ”

Fang Jinshi sighed, hugged her and kissed her again, before tidying up his clothes and getting out of bed, Huang Jinmian smiled and said, "Go and come back quickly." ”

Fang Jinshi walked out of the main house where he lived, and when he arrived at the guest room in the front yard, he saw that under the candlelight, two people were sitting at the table drinking tea while waiting for him. ”

Fang Jinshi took a closer look, this person was around forty years old, and his long face looked a little ruthless, although he smiled and spoke, he always gave people the feeling that he was hiding a knife in his smile, he turned out to be Wan Qiao.

The person next to him is Cai Ang, who was sentenced by Pingjiang Mansion, last time Fang Jinshi and Shi Hao went to visit Cai Ang together, and also mentioned that this Wan Qian Tuo will soon be the governor of the Criminal Division from Lizhou Road, and promoted to the main hall of the Criminal Prison Division on Huaidong Road, and promoted from the fifth rank official to the fourth grade, all of which were climbed to Cai Xiang Cai Yu of the current dynasty.

Although Fang Jinshi didn't like this person very much, he also pretended to be happy and walked over quickly and said, "Governor Wan Qian hasn't seen you for a long time, and I heard that I was promoted to Huaidong, which is really gratifying." ”

Wan Qian said: "Fang Gongzi is really too polite, a small four-grade criminal officer, what is it here in Fang Gongzi, I just arrived in this Pingjiang Mansion today, I heard that Fang Gongzi took a concubine to feast guests, although it was too late to learn the news, but no matter how late it was, he had to come over to ask for a cup of wine to drink, so he asked Cai Beijia to accompany him, he came too late, forgive his sins." ”

This Wan Qian was really mixed up with the official, and his speech was calm, Fang Jinshi said: "Okay, I'll arrange a new banquet, the two of you wait." ”

Wan Qian hurriedly said: "Since it's too late, don't bother, just replace the wine with tea." ”

Fang Jinshi was polite to the two of them again, asked someone to send snacks, re-brewed good tea, and the three of them said some other gossip at random, Wan Qian said: "The third brother of the prince of Yun sent Fang Gongzi to Huaidong to do business, I don't know how it is going?" ”

Fang Jinshi smiled: "Everything is going well. ”

"Really?" Wan Qiyu squinted his eyes and said: "When I came this time, I asked Cai Xianggong what he had to say, and he asked me rhetorically, what is the importance of inspecting the people's situation and prison, mentioning the unjust prison and Zhao Sange's business in the four seas?" Of course I know that. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Wan Qian is a person who understands. ”

Wan Qian said: "Fang Gongzi is even more of an understanding person, nominally the Four Seas Merchant is owned by the two families of the Horse Mansion and the Yun Wangfu, but Fang Gongzi can't cover the sky with one hand in the Four Seas Firm, I don't know if Zhao Sange is satisfied or not, but the lower officials know that Cai Xianggong must be unhappy." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Third Brother Zhao doesn't seem to be satisfied, but things are not so simple and easy. ”

Wan Qian said: "It's not easy, it's because Cai Meng is blocking the road, this person is cunning and calm, old in calculation, Fang Gongzi Wan Wang is cautious and thinks twice." ”

Fang Jinshi smiled, didn't answer his words, refilled his teacup with some water, Wan Qian looked at him and said, "Does Fang Gongzi know Cai Meng's details?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I heard that he was called by Cai Juma from Bashu, and the others don't know." ”

Wan Qian said: "Before coming down here to take office, I was an official on Lizhou Road for eight years, handled some cases, and dealt with Cai Meng several times. "This Lizhou Road is also a state capital in Bashu, when Wan Qiaoyu said this, he narrowed his eyes again, Fang Jinshi felt interesting, this Wan Qiaoyu actually knew Cai Meng before, listening to his tone, the two of them actually had a bit of a holiday.

With Wan Qiao's small belly and chicken intestines and yin damage, he has a harder backer than Cai Yuma, and Cai Meng is estimated to have a headache.

Fang Jinshi talked with Wan Qiaowei and Cai Ang for a long time, and sent the two away, it was late at night, he patted his head: After talking for so long, Rouge Ma must be angry, how can he be coaxed?
