"Yukun, I can't imagine that the market is so unbearable to talk about the foolish brother, I really envy you."

When the rumors that suddenly emerged in the market reached the ears of Zhang Dian and Han Gang, the two sat opposite each other on a couch and were leisurely playing Go. Judging from the board, Zhang Dian has a clear advantage, several pieces of chess are connected together, and Han Gang's chess surface is fragmented and not in shape. Counting the pieces that return the chess head, there will be at least four or five more.

Han Gang looked down at the chessboard, his attention was all on the chess, and his focused eyes seemed to say that the Jiaozhi people's discord plan was not worth mentioning at all: "Jiaozhi children's skills are exhausted." ”

Zhang Dan stroked his palm and smiled: "It seems that they really have no tricks, and they actually want to use a divisive plan." ”

"That's right!" Han Gang raised his head from the chessboard and slapped the couch heavily, "The thief's skills are poor, so he can only use the discord strategy." But it spread so fast, presumably there must be some small works hidden in Yongzhou City. ”

Zhang Dian nodded with a deep sigh: "It's time for Su Boxu to check it out." ”

Jealousy and jealousy, although it is a bad comment, is actually human nature. Ordinary people will inevitably be a little jealous when they see people who are stronger than themselves in the places they care about. can be so broad-minded that he doesn't mind.,It's almost one in a hundred.。 But if you can't control the jealousy in your heart and let your emotions dictate your actions, you're a philistine.

Zhang Dian is by no means a philistine. He is the coach of the Southern Expedition, no matter what credit Han Gang, Yan Da, and Li Xin have made, he can get the biggest share, as long as he wins this battle and enters the Thang Long Mansion, he must have a position as a privy deputy envoy. He doesn't need to show himself, even if he outwits Han Gang, defeats Yan Da, and his martial arts are still above Li Xin, can he still do everything by himself? You must not rely on Han Gang and others.

With a correct mentality and a firm position, Zhang Dian would not take the rumors to heart at all, not to mention that he also had enough self-confidence. If he didn't have this self-confidence, how could he take the Jinshi exam again after he was admitted to the Jinshi? That's no easier than being a mid-gamer.

Looking down at the chessboard, Han Gang slapped the couch heavily, causing all the chess pieces on the board to move. Zhang Dian knocked on the chessboard with the fan in his hand, "Yukun, how should this game be calculated?" ”

Han Gang sighed, looked at the messy chess surface and shook his head regretfully: "I originally wanted to turn the tables, but now it seems that I can only make a peace." ”

Zhang Dian stared at the chessboard for a long time, then looked up at Han Gang again: "Yukun, your chess game is exactly the same as your father-in-law." ”

Han Gang laughed twice, but Quan didn't hear it. Lost two sets in a row, and they were more than a dozen big defeats, and even lost more than a dozen bottles of flavors sent at home to disperse mosquitoes, and there was no more than one game to lose.

Zhang Dian flicked the chessboard, put the chess pieces into the chess box, and asked with a smile: "The color head will not be messy, right?" ”

"I am willing to gamble and lose, how much I lose, of course Han Gang will admit it." Han Gang said without shame, "Turn your head and send the essence to Brother Zihou." ”

After winning a lot of valuable essences from Han Gang, Zhang Dian was not greedy, and did not force Han Gang to have another plate, but only smiled: "Yukun, your essence is a good thing, better than the flower dew you sent in the past." Not only does it add fragrance to the body, but it can also avoid mosquitoes, but it's a pity that it's too little. ”

"If it weren't for going south, my little brother wouldn't want to rub these things on his body." Han Gang shook his head and sighed, "Originally, it was all used as medicine, but now it has all become drunk and used." It's all the same thing. ”

The flavor with mint and borneol is used to repel insects in summer, and the flower dew soaked in osmanthus or rose is used as a cosmetics for women. If you ask about the price, it is neither priceless nor marketable, and it is not sold to the outside world at all. The Han family produced it in their own workshop in Zhuangzi, but it was usually used as a gift to relatives and friends. For example, when Han Gang went south this time, Zhang Dian and Li Xin brought their share.

This is also Feng Congyi's plan. After a few years of low-key production, the reputation of Gyokuro flavor was gradually raised, and then it was sold as a decanteen, so as to make a lot of money - this era also recognizes famous brands. If it is casually launched, the reputation has not yet been established, and the craft and technology will have been stolen by someone with a heart long ago. It is far inferior to Feng Congyi's plan, so that the flavors produced by SF Express will take the route of famous brands and high prices, even if the skills are learned in the future, they can only be a copycat.

Zhang Dian originally wanted to ask about the recipe for the flavor and gyokuro, but after thinking about it, he still gave up asking. This recipe is most likely the treasure of the Han Gang family in the future, which can ensure that several generations of wealth and nobility can be inquired rashly, maybe it will be unpleasant, so it is better not to take this risk.

Together with Han Gang, he packed up the chess pieces one by one, and Zhang Dian couldn't help but complain in his stomach: "There is Guo Kui leading the army in Fengzhou, plus there are as many as 60,000 heavy soldiers. This thunderous momentum is not comparable to leisure. In less than a month, the major event was decided, and there were 400 more leather room military heads, which was really a blessing. We are officially recruiting divisions and camps, but not to mention 60,000 heavy soldiers, not even 20,000. I don't have any hope for reinforcements, if only I could have all the armor and weapons ready. ”

"What more do you have to say now? Looking at the situation, you are going to tear your face with the Liao State, and the north is rumoring, how can you expect reinforcements? Han Gang separated the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and directly swept the white chess pieces into the chess box together, "I finally came up with a more tactic, just because the Khitan people moved, and it suddenly became a shadowless thing." ”

"It will still be useful in the future, and the training of the forbidden army in the world is indispensable. I don't know if Lu Dao will go to Guanxi for military training in the future, or Guanxi will go to Hebei for military training. ”

"Maybe it's because each has its own soldiers, and there is no quiet place in the entire north."

Zhang Dian closed the lid and put the chess box full of sunspots on the table: "Isn't this all Yukun's credit?" ”

"Brother Zihou is laughing, why do you do anything about the younger brother?" Han Gang also put the chess box away, "Little brother doesn't have this ability." ”

"600,000 with armor, anyone who hears it will be terrified. Isn't it Yukun, your credit? ”

The significance of armor to the army is extremely important. There is a far difference between the morale and courage of the soldiers with and without armor. And this is also reflected in the laws that prevail in the world. It's nothing to hide a knife or a gun in private, but if you collect two or three sets of armor, you can send the neck to the knife and axe. The 600,000 ironclad army, the many countries around the Great Song Dynasty combined, may not be one-fifth. This is the credit of Han Gang.

However, Han Gang will not admit that it was his invention that made the Liao State fearful, and then supported the Western Xia, "This is not counted, it is the growing strength of the Chinese country that gradually has the momentum to overwhelm the Khitan." ”

"And what about ships, thunderbolts, and sledders?" Zhang Dan's expression moved, as if he remembered something, "By the way, the craftsmen have already arrived in Guizhou with the spaceship two days ago, and with the spaceship, when they go into battle, they can also be useful." Coupled with the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, it was easier to attack Thang Long Province. ”

"More than a dozen craftsmen are sick for more than half of them, and they have to recuperate in Guizhou for a few days." These craftsmen were specially asked by Han Gang from Beijing, but after they went south, they were still not accustomed to the water and soil, and could only use a few days to recuperate, "After they have rested, I will summon them to come south, hoping that they can catch up with the army." ”

Zhang Dian was about to speak, when the soldiers outside the door raised their voices: "Bachelor, Long Xue, Nong Zhihui of Naturalized Prefecture has arrived, and he is asking to see him in the outer hall." ”

Guangxi Jingluo's expression changed: "Nong Zhigao's brother is here, Yukun, do you want to go and meet him for a while?" ”

Nong Zhihui is Nong Zhigao's own brother, but now he is in charge of the Naturalized State on the border.

Speaking of Nong Zhigao's rebellion, if it is wrong, the imperial court at that time must also be wrong. Nong Zhigao was a subordinate to Jiaozhi at first, because he was exploited by Jiaozhi, and wanted to belong to the Great Song Dynasty. However, because Nong Zhigao was a courtier of Jiaozhi, the imperial court was worried that accepting his subordinates would provoke a border provocation, and at the same time, he was worried that after giving Nong Zhigao a high official position, he would take advantage of this to subdue the left and right Jiang Zhutong.

Due to the court's refusal to accept it, Nong Zhigao was under increasing pressure in Jiaozhi, and he simply raised the flag of rebellion after the last day. This fight exposed the old bottom of the Great Song Dynasty in Liangguang, and the most difficult thing was to rely on Di Qing to lead the army from Guanxi to sweep it away.

Nong Zhigao was defeated, and Nong Zhihui fled Yongzhou and occupied Gubedong, which was close to Guangyuan Prefecture, as a stronghold. When the current Son of Heaven ascended the throne, Nong Zhi would be re-attached, and the imperial court at this time was not like Renzong, so he simply agreed to upgrade Gubedong to a naturalized state. Although the Naturalization Prefecture does not belong to the Thirty-six Mountains of the Left and Right Rivers, it is no less powerful than any of the major tribes in the Thirty-six Mountains.

Previously, with the support of Han Gang, the 36 Mountains invaded Jiaozhi and plundered wantonly, making a windfall. And the front of Guihua Prefecture is Guangyuan Prefecture, so that Nong Zhihui has no way to start, and it will not be able to hit the territory of Jiaozhi at all. I think he has heard about the preparations now, and rushed to get a piece of the pie.

If you want to see a Zhizhou in a fettered state, it is impossible to let the two coaches of Zhang Dian and Han Gang go out at the same time. Han Gang shook his head and gave Zhang Dian the opportunity to buy people's hearts, "Junior brother went to visit Li Xian in the nursing home, his illness should almost be cured." ”

When it comes to Li Xian, who is in charge of the army, Zhang Dan, as the commander, is uncomfortable for a while. Having a eunuch watching over you is something that no manager would like. It's just that even if he hopes that Li Xian will be in the sanatorium until he hits the Thang Long Mansion to recover from his illness, he can't just say it.

He could only put a hypocritical smile on his face, "Then ask Yukun to greet Li Cheng on behalf of Brother Yu, and Brother Yu will go to see Nong Zhigao's own brother." With that, Zhang Dian stood up, "When the news from Guangyuan Prefecture comes in two days, we should also do it!" ”
