Tong Guan seems to have an inexplicable good impression of Zheng Kai, which may come from the relationship between Tong Guan and Zheng Zhi, or from the name given by Tong Guan himself. It may also be Tong Guan's envy of the child's heart.

Zheng Zhi listened to the laughter from time to time outside the frame, and his heart seemed to be touched. For Tong Guan, Zheng Zhi has never seriously thought about his relationship with him.

It was only at this time that Zheng Zhi had time to ride on the horse and think about it for a while. There is no doubt about the mutual trust between the two, Zheng Zhi's cognition of Tong Guan is mixed with the disparagement of historical records, and he also has thoughts that he has seen with his own eyes.

Zheng Zhi didn't take the initiative to summarize what kind of person Tong Guan was, but Zheng Zhi subconsciously had some simple answers.

Tong Guan is a politician and a politician who knows how to protect himself. A eunuch, maybe still a money-hungry eunuch. There are some responsibilities for things, such as the current false transmission of the holy decree in the battle array. There are also some selfishness, such as the removal of armor, Tong Guan doesn't care at all.

But Zheng Zhi never seriously thought about it, Tong Guan is actually a person. Thinking deeply, Tong Guan is still a hard-working person. In order to survive, he castrated himself at the age of twenty, and lived trembling until he was in his forties, serving and even serving three generations of emperors. Shenzong, Zhezong, Huizong.

Until Huizong came to the dynasty, Tong Guan was really ambitious, and what Tong Guan did was to collect the baby for Zhao Ji. Tong Guan was extremely serious about his errands, and he also indirectly helped Cai Jing and won Zhao Ji's trust. Tong Guan is a person from the bottom, there is no so-called big ambition, big revenge, he has been struggling to survive for the first half of his life, and he has not intensified his teeth and claws after he has won his will.

A eunuch who was deeply trusted by the emperor went to the barren land in the northwest to supervise the military, and also made a lot of achievements, and since then he has returned to the center of power and is in charge of a country's military.

He was insulted for most of his life, and he was also insulted when he went to Liao after he got his will. When a person becomes a eunuch, it seems that he is also a life of being insulted. A eunuch shoulders the military responsibility of the country, or a eunuch who has not received much of the teachings of the saints, the political situation in the late Northern Song Dynasty is deformed, not in Tong Guan, the eunuch, but in the whole court situation, is the deformity of the entire court situation.

Tong Guan obviously has nothing to say about Zheng Zhi, impeccable, that is, Zheng Zhi killed Cai Jing's daughter and son-in-law, after meeting, Tong Guan didn't ask a word, and the trust in it is self-evident. Zheng Zhi used to think about relying on each other, helping Tong Guan himself, and Tong Guan helping himself. It was only at this time that I suddenly realized that Tong Guan was just an ordinary old man, laughing and laughing with his son in the carriage for a long time.

Zheng Zhi has always only thought about his own plan and how he should be. But I never thought about what Tong Guan should do.

suddenly found a problem, if he did something in Hebei, how would Tong Guan in Tokyo face Zhao Ji. He has a back road and tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but Tong Guan has nothing to rely on in Tokyo. Tong Guan's body has long been branded with Zheng Zhi, and what Zheng Zhi did, Tong Guan must be inseparable.

Just like Zheng Zhi said to Tong Guan before, no matter when or what the situation, Tong Guan's life will definitely be saved. At this time, Zheng Zhi took the initiative to push Tong Guan's life into the abyss.

Zheng Zhi couldn't help but be a little irritable, looked at the frame a few more times, and thought about it repeatedly in his heart, thinking about how to save Tong Guan's life and avoid killing this old man who trusted him and was kind to him because of his own reasons.

The army arrived in Hejian Province in a few days, and the barracks that had been expanded many times could not squeeze in so many new soldiers. The first thing these newcomers did was to level the land, cut trees and grass, and set up camp.

On the periphery of the barracks, there were soldiers watching the excitement, and looking at these soldiers from Cangzhou, everyone was envious.

"There are so many horses, Zheng Xianggong is really rich." A general stood within the walls and sighed.

One of the people next to him said with disdain: "Rich? Are these horses money to buy? If I could buy it, my Da Song would already have countless healthy horses. You really don't have any knowledge, these are all party horses, they were robbed by Zheng Xianggong, Zheng Xianggong led troops into Western Xia, plundered countless people, and killed the emperor of Western Xia's family, how majestic. ”

The military general who sighed just now had a sudden realization on his face at this time, and replied: "What I said is very true, I also heard that all the horses of the party members were snatched back by Zheng Xianggong, and countless party women and children were all arrested, and Zheng Xianggong is really the first person in the world." Going into battle with Zheng Xianggong can be regarded as a blessing for us. ”

Hearing the words left and right, some people also spoke: "Yes, yes, I can go into battle with Zheng Xianggong, and I have luck." Looking at these tens of thousands of iron armor, where is there such a strong army in the world, the Liao people are afraid that they can't stop it. ”

When the person who was the first to sigh heard this, he sighed again: "In this way, I am not wrong to say that Zheng Xianggong has money, these iron armors, I don't know how much they cost, and how many tens of thousands of yuan are not enough." Being able to serve under Zheng Xianggong is really enviable. ”

Several people on the left and right also nodded again and again, feeling that the sentence "rich" was not bad.

Zheng Zhizhi gathered 50,000 iron armor at this time, and he didn't rely on the power of one blow, but more than half of it was built by himself, and a small half came from the Western Army Treasury.

When Zheng Zhi came again, the entire Hejian Mansion was boiling, and there were countless onlookers, from soldiers and soldiers to ordinary people, all of them came to see a freshness. Even most people think that these 50,000 iron armor is the main force to defeat the party and the strong soldiers in the northwest battlefield.

Zheng Zhi took Tong Guan Cai Yu straight into the big tent of the military camp, and in the big tent, countless generals had already gathered, as well as officials of Hejian Mansion.

When Tong Guan took the lead in holding Zheng Kai, everyone in the big tent bowed their heads and bowed their heads, densely packed with people's necks and backs.

Obviously, everyone present knows that the people who came today can't be lazy, a Tong Taishi, and a Cai Taishi's son. The two of them clearly represented the supreme authority of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zheng Zhi whispered behind him, "Eun Xiang, give me Kai'er." ”

Zheng Zhi naturally felt that Tong Guan should be a little majestic when he first came, and it was really a bit unreasonable to hold a child. Unexpectedly, Tong Guan turned around and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I can still hold him." ”

Zheng Kai has been familiar with Tong Guan for a few days, and he has a lot of good feelings for Tong Guan as an old man who amuses himself, and he is extremely quiet when he is hugged by Tong Guan.

Before arriving at the head, Tong Guan reached out and touched his clothes and sat down in the main seat. Cai You sits on the left, and Zheng Zhi sits on the right.

Tong Guan was also familiar with these things, and opened his mouth to say a few words, urging everyone to work together and succeed in the war.

Cai You was more excited than Tong Guan, and when Tong Guan finished speaking, he asked everyone to step forward one by one to introduce themselves. In the camp tent, there were hundreds of generals and deputies from all over the country, and they stepped forward one after another to introduce themselves.

Cai You kept a smile on his face, trying to remember the names of each person, and his words were mostly encouragement and praise. I think it's really going to buy people's hearts and the like.

Tong Guan saw Cai You's tired smile on his face, and he didn't have to think about it to understand the reason, after twenty or thirty people, Tong Guan suddenly hugged Zheng Kai and got up, looked left and right, and said: "Come on, beat the drum on the stage!" ”

As soon as the military order was given, the generals stopped abruptly, and the soldiers rushed out.

Cai You looked stunned, looked back at Tong Guan, and said, "Master Tong, why... ”

Tong Guan waved his arm: "There is a report on the stage, so why bother here." ”

Cai You's face sank, and then he smiled at everyone and said, "I'm sorry for you generals to come and tell your names again, so that the envoy can recognize the generals one by one." ”

A moment later, the drums rumbled, and the crowd flowed out. Cai You saw that everyone was nervous, and he also walked out quickly.

Cai You, who had walked a few steps, glanced back and saw that Tong Guan was unhurried, so he hurriedly stopped his brisk walk and waited for Tong Guan to take his head.

Tong Guan hugged the child, the pace was naturally not fast, and when he walked to the head, he said to Cai You: "Bachelor Cai, as a handsome person, you should be steady and cautious." ”

Cai You listened to Tong Guan's beating, and replied with a sad face: "The army is drumming, so naturally it is more urgent." ”

The corners of Tong Guan's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "When the drum is up, Master Cai is going to charge?" ”

Cai You was speechless when asked, it stands to reason that Cai You's words are reasonable, but it is the contempt in Tong Guan's words, and Cai You really has never felt it.

When they arrived at Jiangtai, the army gathered from all over the barracks, and the speed was much faster than before. The queue is basically neat again.

Cai You sat on the platform, his face became more and more ugly, and suddenly asked Zheng Zhidao: "Zheng Jingluo, why are there few soldiers in Hejian with heavy armor, but the soldiers in Cangzhou have one set of soldiers?" ”

Cai You obviously had doubts about Zheng Zhi, and wondered whether Zheng Zhi was using the public for personal gain, or if he was treated differently and did not take the lives of the soldiers in the Hebei Prefecture Mansion seriously. If you go to Tokyo at this time, it will probably be a sin.

The old god Zheng Zhi was there, and he glanced at Cai You on the left, and replied: "When the Cangzhou soldiers were preparing for war for a long time, the armor was all newly built, and some of them were captured in Western Xia. It has only been a few months since the army was gathered in Hejian, and the state capitals in various places did not prepare so much iron armor, so there was a lack of iron armor. ”

When Cai You heard this, he looked left and right, suddenly stood up, and said in a louder voice: "Oh, even so, the armor should be equally distributed to the soldiers of each state capital, so that it seems fair, as long as it is a soldier who goes into battle, it should be treated equally, and everyone's life is fate." What does Zheng Jing think? ”

Cai You stood up like this and said this paragraph loudly, obviously because he wanted the people on the left and right to hear it clearly, and let the people on the left and right pass on the words he said, so that these Hebei generals would know that he Cai You was kind-hearted, fair and selfless, and sought benefits for the soldiers.

"Deputy Envoy Cai has a point, then let these soldiers not go into battle, let them guard the city, and transport logistics baggage. What does the deputy think? Zheng Zhi also replied loudly. Since Cai You wants to be a good person, Zheng Zhi will do a good person to the end, wouldn't it be the best protection if he doesn't go into battle, and what will he do if he doesn't go into battle? It's too heavy to wear.

Cai You was stunned again when he heard this, only thinking that Zheng Zhi was talking to him, and said again: "Master Tong, what the lower officials said, just for the soldiers in battle to have a safety guarantee, and please ask Master Tong to decide." ”

Tong Guan didn't speak when he heard this, but just put Zheng Kai, who was sitting on his feet, on the ground in front of him, and smiled at Zheng Kai: "Kai'er, you stand here by yourself, don't run around, today's school soldier, you also have to stand straight, you can't teach people to laugh at you." ”

Zheng Kai thought it was funny, and the audience was crowded, Zheng Kai also deliberately stood up straighter, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Tong, I must not teach people jokes." ”

Tong Guan nodded, then looked at Cai You and said, "What Zheng Zhi said is reasonable, these soldiers are unreliable, and it is easy to lag back when they go into battle. The western army fought, the elite were in front of the head, and they won the battle, and these state capital forbidden troops could be competent to guard the city. The iron armor should be placed on the elite, and it is counterproductive to scatter it. ”

Cai You watched Tong Guan Zheng Zhi singing and harmonizing left and right, and he hated inexplicably in his heart, always feeling that these two were cooperating to suppress him, and he didn't know what words to use to refute it, and it was not good to refute Tong Guan's majesty as the coach on the stage.

But he felt that these two people disregarded the lives of the forbidden army in the state capital so much, and it was the time for them to buy people's hearts, so they only waited for the military general to come to the stage to report later, and they wrote down everyone's names.

After the army was assembled, there were not so many people standing in the school field, and there were soldiers on the left and right of the camp tent. But there were no 100,000 people present, only more than 80,000. Many people were sent home by Zheng Zhi's military orders.

As soon as the drums stopped, a general walked up to the stage, saluted respectfully, and shouted: "Qi Qi Tong Taishi, Zheng Xianggong, the commander of the first army in the front compartment of the last general, Qian Yi will pay a visit, the first army should be 2,687 people, but it is actually 2,674 people, and 13 people are on duty at the camp gate." ”

Qian Yi spoke with a northwest accent, and Tong Guan smiled when he heard it, and said, "You are a soldier in Gyeongju?" ”

Qian Yi replied when he heard this: "The last general is from Gyeongju. ”

"Good, good, good, the Gyeongju soldiers are the most brave, in Huizhou New Town, if there was no Gyeongju soldiers to block the party Xiang Tieqi into the city, a certain would have been killed. I'm really happy to see Gyeongju soldiers today. At the evening banquet, you should be there and have a drink with you to thank you for saving your life. Tong Guanlian said three good, and he really remembered that day when the party broke the city, it was the Gyeongju foot soldiers who blocked the gap.

When Qian Yi heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he was also very moved in his heart, so he hurriedly bowed down here, and said: "Thank you for the love of Master Tong, the last general will die in battle, and live up to the kindness of Master Tong and Zheng Xianggong!" ”

When Tong Guan heard this, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can't die in battle, you will definitely come back alive, and when you return victorious, you will come to drink and talk again!" ”

When Qian Yi heard this, he was even more moved in his heart, and only said: "The last general will dare to die!" ”

Qian Yi's words are a reply, and it is also Qian Yi's statement.

"Haha... Since ancient times, those who dare to die have to live, and those who survive have to die. Brave as you, you will surely triumph. Go down and drink at night! Tong Guan opened his mouth and laughed.

Tong Guan's method of collecting his heart is much more clever than Cai You, and he makes a judgment at a higher level. Obviously, Tong Guan also understood at this time, and this Hebei military power had obviously been tightly contained by Zheng Zhi. The money in front of you is the proof.

The generals who waited for one member to step forward, and sure enough, they were mainly Northwest military men. There are also a few Jiangnan generals, that is, Wang Yu's subordinates, and a few local Hebei generals, but they are also Hu Yanzhuo's subordinates.

Cai You's face is getting more and more ugly, and it is as ugly as ashes. The generals I saw at this time were obviously not the same group of people as the generals in the big tent. Where do you still not understand that the people who greeted in the big tent are all under control, and it turns out that they are all light pole generals.

The people who really led the troops were all soldiers under Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi glanced at Cai You's appearance, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. I was happy in my heart, but I was still thinking that when this Mr. Cai heard the interesting story of his lyrics from others in a few days, I don't know if he would be like thunder. A Longtu Pavilion Bachelor, but only half of the bad words, this matter has already spread everywhere, and it will reach the ears of this Bachelor Cai in a few days.
