sent Zheng away from prison, and Huang Zhixian also deduced that there was a backlog of official business in the county and that he would return to Xia Jin immediately. Although Xu Wei drank a lot, his head was not confused, although the magistrate was polite on the surface today, he said very little, this person was not as easy to deal with as Zheng Prison. couldn't keep it, Xu Wei asked him to wait, and ordered someone to take a letter of silver, which he couldn't help but stuff into his arms. Huang Qianshan repeatedly excused himself, saying that it was useless, and asked Xu Wei not to be so polite.

"My lord, today you are personally accompanied, and you are doing everything for me, and the younger generation knows it." As soon as Xu Wei said this, Huang Qianshan glanced at him, and an unpredictable smile appeared on his face.

"Lao Jiu, you kid, tsk......t" After such a thoughtless half-sentence, he didn't say anything, only patted Xu Wei's shoulder with one hand, and led his entourage to take care of himself.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief, the second is a human being, and Xu Wei still understands this. From ancient times to the present, China has this tradition, the wine table is easy to do, and money can make the devil grind. But then again, corrupt officials are also divided into levels, he once saw a news before he crossed over to the Great Song Dynasty, there was a corrupt official at that time, who took money and asked for someone, but he didn't do anything. If you have such a mess, you can cry.

Xu Wei originally wanted to discuss things with Zhang Qing and Yang Yan, but thinking that it was the time for a lunch break, he planned to rest for a while before going. The Xu family tossed for most of the day, and when the guests were sent away, the family really sat down to have a good meal, and when he passed through the side hall, he heard his sister-in-law Xu Wang comforting Xu Xiuping. There was a slight pause in his footsteps, but he still didn't go in. Driving away his brother-in-law was not just because he was angry, Xu Wei had his own considerations. A few months later, the Jin army will wave its army south, and it will be close to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and when the time comes, it will bear the brunt of it, and it will not be allowed to let my sister and the little meat ball return to the place that will soon become a battlefield.

Back in his room, Xu Wei lay on the bed on his back, thinking back to what Prison Zheng had said. If what he says is true, it's a real opportunity. Hebei region, has always produced many heroes, the people are fierce, if you can pull up a team in this place, and get the support of the imperial court, it is undoubtedly a great advance for your plan. Now the key question is how the imperial court thinks about it, you must know that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has always been a tradition of emphasizing literature over military force, and there are many restrictions on those who lead troops. Even if the imperial court approves it, how many people can he pull? How did this group of centaurs form a fighting force in a few months?

"An impossible mission, ah......" Xu Wei sighed softly, and Xu Wei felt a little big.

Footsteps sounded outside the room, and Xu Wei knew when he heard it that it was the old man. When the door opened, Mrs. Xu quietly stepped into the room and sat at the table. Xu Wei also sat up straight, and the two fathers and sons were silent, looking at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, Xu Wei opened his mouth to break the embarrassment: "Sister, are you okay?" ”

"Alas......" With a heavy sigh, Xu Taigong shook his head, "Your third sister has a strong personality, there is nothing wrong on the surface, but she must feel uncomfortable in her heart." The son drove away his son-in-law, and although he was angry, he put his daughter in a dilemma. To put it mildly, if the Fan family has any ideas, what can they do with the rest of their daughter's life? Thinking of this, I can't help but blame Xu Wei for being too impulsive. But how did he know Xu Wei's good intentions?

Xu Wei wanted to explain a few words, but when the words came to his lips, his family would naturally understand.

The two fell silent again, Xu Wei was very uncomfortable with this feeling, and said to say: "What kind of official is the deputy envoy of the Zizhou regimental training?" ”

Hearing him mention this, Xu Taigong temporarily forgot about his troubles and explained: "Your official rank is Zhengbapin Xiuwulang, and your dispatch is the deputy envoy of the Zizhou regiment. The former represents your official position, and the latter represents the position you hold. This is a parasitic officer, that is, in addition to having a lu. There is no specific responsibility and no place to work. ”

Only then did Xu Wei understand that "Xiu Wulang" was like a second lieutenant and a lieutenant in the future, and the "deputy envoy of Zizhou regimental training" was like a platoon commander and company commander, but he only took money and did not do anything. I was thinking about whether to tell the old man the news revealed by Zheng Prison, but after thinking twice, I decided to say it. After all, the old man is a former officer and a person who has been on the battlefield, so he may be able to give himself some advice.

As soon as he thought of this, he briefly told Mrs. Xu about Prison Zheng's words. When the latter heard this, he was very surprised and said in surprise: "Really? After receiving Xu Wei's affirmative reply, the old man was overjoyed, stood up, walked around the room with some excitement, and said yes repeatedly.

"Lao Jiu! If this happens, then your future is assured! ”

Xu Wei looked at the ecstatic old man and said solemnly: "I don't think about the future. ”

"Huh?" Xu Taigong obviously didn't understand the meaning of his words.

After thinking about it, Xu Wei decided to tell the truth, the old man's understanding of this era, especially his understanding of the military, is far better than himself, and he needs his support and help.

"Maybe you think I'm talking crazy, but I'm sure that in a few months, the Jurchens will march south and go straight to Bianjing." Xu Wei only said half of what he said, he knew that if he said that the Jurchens would break through Kaifeng, capture the second emperor of Huiqin, destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, occupy half of China, and Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, would proclaim himself emperor in Hangzhou and establish the Southern Song Dynasty, the old man would definitely think that he was really crazy.

Mrs. Xu's shock at this time was even worse than that of Fang Cai, and the first thing he thought of was not the truth or falsehood of his son's words. Rather, this kid has a problem with his brain again?

Xu Wei saw his doubts on his face, and said, "I'm not crazy, and I'm not stupid." You are a veteran, think about it, the Song army of 100,000 horses, attacking the Khitans who were weakening in the western mountains, were defeated and returned, and the Jurchens all saw it. In your opinion, they will let the Great Song go? ”

Xu Taigong immediately thought of a rebuttal, but Xu Wei rushed ahead: "I know you want to say that since the fall of the Liao State, the Jin State has been sending envoys to the Song Dynasty to reconcile with our country and return the Youyun Six Prefectures. But unfortunately, these are all tricks, ecstasy soup! A country that can destroy the Liao State, why should it be so polite to a country that can't even defeat the Liao State? Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief! There is only one answer, the Jurchens want to herd horses on the Yangtze River! Annexation of the Central Plains! ”

"Impossible! When pigs fly! "Although Mrs. Xu is powerless to refute, he will never believe his son's words." Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Jurchens have this wolf ambition, will I still be afraid of him if I have a million troops in the Song Dynasty? ”

Xu Wei knew that the old man had been guarding the northwest and fighting against the party members in the past. He is a general of the Seed Army, and the army with the "Seed Army", "Yang Family General" and "Zhejia Army" as the main body forms a fig leaf of the Great Song Army, that is, the so-called "Western Army". Compared with the ordinary Song army that "the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals", the combat effectiveness is indeed much higher, and the battles with the Western Xia over the years are indeed not lagging behind. But can you expect the Song army of more than one million to be the same as the Western Army?
