In the autumn of the sixth year of Zhenghe, the Liao State of Tokyo (now Liaoyang) was assassinated, and the Tokyo general Gao Yongchang launched a rebellion, occupied Tokyo and established himself as the emperor, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi ordered Zhang Lin, the prime minister of Nanfu, to organize an army to crusade.

For a time, the Liao State recruited troops and horses in the Yanyun area, gathered troops, and made great noise.

At this time, the Song Dynasty had a miscalculation, after receiving an urgent report from Yanyun's secret agent, the imperial court thought that the Liao army was gathering to invade the south, and the Son of Heaven urgently appointed Taiwei Tong Guan as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi and Hebei, "to pay for the side affairs" to deal with the situation in the north.

In late November, Tong Guan immediately led 100,000 elite forbidden troops to the north, and he immediately ordered Hebei to mobilize soldiers from various states on the east and west roads as reserve troops, preparing to follow the army north.

The orders were issued one by one, and Jiang Dadao, the magistrate of Tangyin, received a letter from the governor of Xiangzhou at the same time, and also received a handwritten letter from Tong Guan.

Jiang Dadao is Tong Guan's personal soldier, Tong Guan sent him to serve as the county governor of Tangyin has deeper considerations, although Tong Guan has controlled the military and political power of the Privy Council in recent years, but he has not made achievements in civil and political affairs, and the power of the court is still firmly controlled by Xiangguo Cai Jing.

Tong Guan took into account the path of using military force to enter politics, sent military generals to serve in local prefectures and counties, and then promoted step by step, and finally broke through Cai Jing's defense line in the imperial court and formed his own power in the court.

In the past few years, Tong Guan has successively sent 23 confidant generals with rough knowledge of Wenmo to Hebei and Shaanxi prefectures and counties as officials, and Jiang Dadao, who served as Tangyin Zhi County, was the first batch of confidant generals sent by Tong Guan.

In the back hall of the county ya, Jiang Dadao was so anxious that in ten days, Captain Tong's army would pass through Tangyin County, and Captain Tong would inevitably ask about his political achievements, how should he answer?

He once asked Zhou Tong, but Zhou Dong couldn't help him, which made his heart burn.

Jiang Dadao has been serving as the magistrate of Tangyin County for three years, and he is just on the threshold of promotion, he knows very well that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to be promoted, and if he can show a performance that satisfies Captain Tong, he can continue to be promoted.

But what kind of political achievements can be made to satisfy Captain Tong?

Jiang Dadao has two writing staff, one is named Zhang Qiu and the other is called Mo Jun, these two people specialize in handling all kinds of county affairs and miscellaneous affairs for him, otherwise with the little text and ink in his chest, he would be qualified for the post of county magistrate.

These two staff members followed the county Cheng to the countryside some time ago to check the household registration, and they just came back at noon today, and as soon as they returned, they were caught by Jiang Dadao and taken to the official room to ask questions.

Both of them understood the county's thoughts, so Zhang Qiu smiled and proposed: "I sorted out the account sheet last month and found that since the county monarch took office, Tangyin County's grain production has increased by 20%, and taxes have increased by 30%, is this a political achievement?" ”

The biggest advantage of Tangyin County is that it is a large grain-producing county, but it has been like this for decades, not to mention his political achievements, besides, Anyang County's grain production is larger than that of Tangyin County, and the taxes are also more, so it is a bit difficult to increase grain production, and Jiang Dadao understands in his heart that what Tong Taiwei wants is not this kind of political achievement.

He shook his head, "The increase in grain production can be mentioned, but it cannot be reported as a major political achievement, and we have to think of other ways." ”

Mo Jun's mind was more flexible than that of his colleagues, and he smiled and said, "I think that since the purpose of Taiwei Tong in appointing the county monarch was to rule the county with martial arts, then the county monarch should make a fuss from the word 'martial'." ”

This suggestion was a bit to the point, Jiang Dadao suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and hurriedly urged: "Let's talk about it specifically!" ”

Mo Jun stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "Wu is nothing more than two ends, one is the civil army, the other is the warrior, the county monarch has organized five hundred young and strong people for the Xiang army, the civil army has it, but the military force does not, I suggest that a hundred students be selected from the county school to form a soldier army, and the Xiang army is also available in other states and counties, which is not surprising, but the Shiwu is unique to the county monarch, I estimate that this is what Tong Taiwei wants." ”

Jiang Dadao patted his forehead again and again, he was confused, hasn't he been promoting martial arts among scholars all these years? Creating a student who is all-round in civil and military affairs, this is his main business, and he forgot it.

No, he still has to discuss this matter with Zhou Dong, although the time is already dusk, and Zhou Tong has finished teaching and gone home, but Jiang Zhixian still can't wait for a moment, and immediately set off to find Zhou Dong.

．．．．．．．．．

Li Yanqing has been training for five days, and Zhou Tong had a long talk with him, suggesting that he continue to focus on riding and archery, especially strengthening strength training, so that his riding and archery will turn from accurate to powerful.

Although the master did not say it explicitly, Li Yanqing knew very well what this choice meant, this was actually the choice of guns and arrows, rather than being mediocre in both of them, it was better to be strong.

Li Yanqing remembered Uncle Yu's teachings many years ago, if you want to learn real martial arts, you have to practice deeply, and he finally accepted the master's plan.

At dusk that day, Li Yanqing and the other four had dinner and were gathering together to discuss the Song-Liao War.

The news of Song Liao's imminent war spread throughout the prefectures and counties of Hebei Province, and for a while, people were panicked, and many wealthy families considered transferring their property to the south.

However, at this time, the Yongji Canal had frozen, and a large number of civilian donkey carts and ox carts for transporting goods were also temporarily requisitioned, all of which were used to transport military rations and military materials.

The city of Tangyin County has added a bit of a solemn atmosphere, there are soldiers patrolling everywhere, and the city gate is strictly checked, all caravans coming from the north must be thoroughly checked, if it is the accent of Youyan, it will be arrested on the spot.

However, the situation is tense and tense, and the people at the bottom of Tangyin County are still living as usual, and they have not been affected by the war situation.

"It's better to break out into a big war, and we can also join the army now and massacre those Khitan barbarians!"

Wang Gui rolled up his sleeves, he was most excited about this kind of news, especially now that his martial arts training was beginning to be effective, he couldn't wait to immediately put on his armor and go to the battlefield to serve the country.

Tang Huai shook his small fan and said in his characteristic mocking tone: "You can only dream about going to the battlefield in bed at night, didn't Lao Li say it?" This war cannot be fought. ”

Yue Fei looked at Li Yanqing with a solemn gaze, "Why do you think this battle can't be fought?" ”

Li Yanqing knew that the battle of Song and Liao in history would not break out until the fourth year of Xuanhe six years later, and this time it should be just a false alarm, and the war could not be fought.

He smiled slightly: "It's winter, the north is snowing heavily and the road is closed, it is impossible for the Liao soldiers to go south, and after the snow melts in spring next year, it is the sheep production season, and the Liao army is not able to attack south, the season and time are not allowed, and the more important thing is that the Jurchens are eyeing behind the back of the Liao State, once a big war breaks out between the Song and Liao armies, the Jurchens take the opportunity to go south, and the Liao State will suffer from the enemy on their backs, they will not do this kind of stupid thing." ”

Yue Fei pondered for a moment and said: "In case the Song army took the initiative to provoke a war and wanted to take the opportunity to recover Yanyun, just like you said before, even the solution test is testing the strategic preparation for recovering Yanyun, I think the imperial court already has this heart." ”

"It's just an idea, it's not realistic."

"Why?" The three of them asked in unison.

Li Yanqing smiled faintly and said: "Fang La's rebellion in Jiangnan is becoming more and more intense, making the imperial court very passive, at this time, hyping up the Song-Liao War is conducive to diverting the attention of the people, I still say the same thing, one day Fang La is not destroyed, the imperial court will not dare to provoke the Song-Liao War for a day." ”

Tang Huai and Wang Gui gave a thumbs up at the same time, "It's worthy of Xie Yuan, I can see it thoroughly!" ”

Yue Fei nodded silently, what Li Yanqing said was indeed reasonable, it seems that this war really can't be fought.

At this time, a loud voice came from outside the door, "Yanqing is not there?" ”

"It's the master's voice!" Everyone heard this voice, it was Zhou Dong coming.

The four of them hurriedly walked out, only to see the master Zhou Tong wearing a green coat and standing outside the gate with his hands in his hands, and the four of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhou Tong smiled slightly: "I have something to do with Yanqing, but it has something to do with you, so let's go into the house and talk about it!" ”

Zhou Tong walked into the dining hall and sat down surrounded by four disciples, Tang Huai hurriedly went to arrange for Sister-in-law Ju to order tea for the master, Zhou Tong looked at it and smiled: "It seems that your companions haven't come back yet?" ”

Zhou Tong was referring to Zhang Xian and Qin Liang, and Li Yanqing said with a smile: "After the imperial examination, the two went to the capital together, it seems that Brother Zhang'er's father has a favor and can arrange for them to go to Kaifeng Mansion to study." ”

"I see!"

Zhou Tong also asked casually, he looked at everyone and smiled: "The reason why I came to Yanqing is because he is no longer a county student, so I can only ask him for a favor." ”

"Master, please say, as long as Yanqing can do it, he will not refuse."
