In Bianliang, Tokyo, Taneshido walked out of the house, and the horses waiting at the door had been replaced by carriages. The planter trembled and walked up the frame stairs.

The little guys on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to help, but it was the seed master who looked at the left and right twice with cold eyes, and the two hurriedly retreated.

I heard the breeder also say: "Last year, I was able to fight horses and sweep the formation, but this year I even had to be helped on the frame." ”

A small guy on the right had a bright mind, and hurriedly smiled: "Xianggong can still go into battle to kill the party, and he should be strong when he is old." ”

Hearing this, the planter smiled slightly, lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.

People seem to grow old in an instant, and despite the flattery of the little guy's words, it is also for the sake of being happy. The appearance and movements of the Seed Master Dao are much worse than the state of a year ago.

"Xianggong, but to the Li Mansion?" The little guy took the reins and asked.

In the morning, Li Bangyan came to the seed house and talked with the seed master for two hours. At this time, the planter was about to go out, and the little guy also had a guess.

A word came from inside the carriage: "Don't go to the Li Mansion, go to the Tong Taishi Mansion." ”

"Come on, sit tight!" The little guy replied, pulled the reins and left.

Tong Guan's Nanmu coffin has also been built, carved with gods and Buddhas, and also carved all year round. After applying good paint, it is placed in a ventilated place in the hall so that it can be wet and dry.

Today's Tong Guan is also at ease, and this Tokyo City probably forgot about Tong Guan, the number one person. New court bigwigs came to power one by one, and a new political pattern was slowly established.

Those who can tie up newcomers will naturally rise step by step. If you can't tie up with a newcomer, then you will slowly step aside, and it is a good path to be delegated to become an official. You can't occupy a place in Tokyo, and you can enjoy your old age as a local magistrate.

Political struggles are always bloody, even in the enlightened era of the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Jing, Wang Huang and the others all fell, and naturally there were a group of people trembling and running to protect themselves.

Tong Guan can be regarded as having a good ending, as long as Emperor Zhao Huan doesn't trouble him, he won't trouble him when he shoots Li Fu. Then no one wanted to provoke the great eunuch.

Recently, the Tongguan Mansion is not really so idle, and people come to visit from time to time. It's just that there are many people who meet from time to time, and almost all of them are people with the surname Tong. They are all children of the Tong Guan family.

Many people had no previous contact with Tong Guan. The eunuch who entered the palace at the age of twenty did not have a family and did not have a descendant. Ben was also looked down upon, and he didn't come out for decades, and he was forgotten. Occasionally, when it is mentioned, it is mostly a few words of laughter, and even a shameful laugh.

Suddenly, Tong Guan got up, first ran an errand in Hangzhou, and then went to the northwest, and after returning to Beijing, Tong Guan has become a big man. The common people are not allowed to see it, and they can't find a way to see it.

Now, these people of the same clan are all coming to the Tongfu to meet them. It's just because Tong Guan suddenly became the God of Wealth. As long as the surname is Tong, you can tell the origin of the elders, and you can climb a little relationship.

Tong Guan was not stingy, and gave some money to send it away, and if it was close, it was a huge amount of money.

If there are one or two smart people, after saying a few words in their mouths, they must give Tong Guan a tablet to follow the incense, whether it is sincere, or for the sake of flattery, Tong Guan will smile and take a lot of money to reward.

In this way, more and more people with the surname Tong come to visit, and most of the children who have nothing to do will also meet in person, with wine and meat, and talk very happily.

Perhaps, Tong Guan's reluctance to stay in Hebei has been achieved. Not only does he not have the name of a rebellious minister and thief, but he can be buried in the family cemetery, and he can also get incense from his descendants.

I no longer think about the king and leaving history. Occasionally hearing Zheng Zhi's news, Tong Guan also kept silent and did not comment.

No one knows what is in his heart.

This afternoon, the planter Dao came to visit him, which made Tong Guan frown.

The planter bowed and greeted, and Tong Guan also returned the salute. The two sat opposite each other.

The seed master came to find Tong Guan, naturally there was something wrong, so he didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Master Tong, Li Xiang personally came to visit him this morning, and he was talking about the training in Tokyo. This matter is very important, in this Bianliang recruitment, I am afraid that it is difficult to implement, although Bianliang has many peddlers and pawns, but there are too few people who are willing to serve as soldiers and eat food. Master Tong is mostly in Tokyo, so he thought about coming to the door to ask for some countermeasures, and he also forced Master Tong to give advice. ”

Hearing this, Tong Guan frowned, picked up the teacup, and was silent for a long time.

Seeing that Tong Guan was silent, the master said again: "Taishi knows a little more about the situation in Kaifeng and Jinggi than he did in Xia, and now he doesn't say much about the purpose of recruiting troops in Tokyo. But this training is the case, if you want to be able to fight, those scoundrels on the street are afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, after all, Zheng Zhi's soldiers and horses are too elite. Therefore, for this matter of the source of soldiers, please ask the master for advice. ”

The Seed Master Dao thought that he really took over this errand, and Li Bangyan was looking for the Seed Master Dao only because of this Tokyo City, and he was the only one who could know the military affairs. The Seed Master Dao obviously also knows the crux of the problem, and the source of soldiers is the key. If you want to train elite soldiers, these veterans in Tokyo are basically useless, and these scoundrels in Tokyo are obviously useless.

Gyeonggi is already richer than ordinary places, and in this era, it is too difficult to leave the frontier and want a good family to become a soldier. The cultivator Dao also has a basic plan in his heart, which is to re-recruit good sons and train a new army. In this way, he is qualified to compete with Zheng Zhi. If not, you don't even have the qualifications.

Tong Guan glanced at the Seed Master, suddenly shook his head, and only said one word: "Where did Zheng Zhida come from?" Where did Zheng Zhi go? ”

Tong Guan didn't have a brainless sentence, but the master understood it, and replied: "What the master said is very clear in my heart, and I know it clearly in my heart who this Zheng Zhi is." It is precisely because Zheng Zhi is so good at fighting that this military training should be more important and cannot be done at will. ”

Tong Guan heard this, but he said it without a head or a brain: "I heard that Zheng Zhi entered the grassland." ”

Seed Master Dao was stunned when he heard this, Seed Master Dao really didn't know the news, and asked suspiciously: "Where did Taishi get the news?" ”

Tong Guan waved his hand and said: "You don't need to ask where the news came from, but this news is true, so I will say it again, the Jurchens gave Zheng Zhi countless tribes in the south of the grassland." Do you understand that? ”

Obviously, Tong Guan is not as ignorant of many things as he seems, Tong Guan just doesn't want to talk about it, let alone express his opinions. In this Tokyo city, Tong Guan is obviously more informed about military affairs than many people. What's more, Tong Guan also has a Wu Ze by his side, before Wu Ze left Hebei, he obviously met Zheng Zhi, so he had the big drama of rescuing Cai Jing.

As for what else Zheng Zhi and Wu Ze talked about, only the two of them knew about it. At this time, it seems that Wu Ze is obviously more well-informed than anyone in Tokyo.

Seed Master Dao was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "Why are the Jurchens willing to give the grassland to Zheng Zhi?" This doesn't make sense. ”

Tong Guan didn't explain much, and the meaning of the words was already obvious. If Zheng Zhi has a grassland, there is no need to guess the growth of strength. The examples of party members are still vivid, how many of those who charged into battle in front of Zheng Zhi's array were party members, and the way of the teacher was also clear.

Fighting with foreigners, the Khitan Liao State is extremely good at it. But it is more than 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is only Zheng Zhidu.

"Taishi, in this way, it is even more necessary to train more elite soldiers, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. If the Jurchens really gave the grassland to Zheng Zhi, then some kind of agreement must have been reached between Jin Guo and Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhibing is strong and strong, and there is no trouble in the north, that is, when he goes south, how can it be good? "The master is very familiar with the understanding of strategy. The words are also inseparable. It's just that Zheng Zhi didn't really reach any substantive agreement with Jurchen Dajin.

The agreement between Zheng Zhi and Jurchen lies in the strategic balance and the equality of strength between the two sides. This strategic balance can be both unbreakable and instantaneous. It depends on whether the balance of power between the two sides will be broken. As soon as the balance is broken, the war will start immediately.

In Wanyan Aguda's words, he also said that the Jurchen should be dressed in armor millions, and the meaning could not be more obvious. But when the Jurchens have enough strength, it is when they start a war with Zheng Zhi.

Tong Guan nodded, and only said, "I won't live long." ”

The words of the master are asking for advice, hoping that Tong Guan will open his mouth to give one or two pointers. After all, the master is from the northwest, and he has been in the northwest for generations. Tong Guan is a native of Kaifeng. If you don't discuss this matter with Tong Guan, then there will be no one to discuss.

But it was Tong Guan's answer, which meant that after death, he didn't care about the flood. Tong Guan does not choose between Da Song and Zheng Zhi. It is also a manifestation of a dead heart.

Master Dao could understand Tong Guan's words, but he was unwilling, and he had to make some more efforts: "Master Tai, how can you sit idly by and ignore the matter related to the society of the country." Zheng Zhiqiang's troops went south, the mountains and rivers were broken, the people were displaced, and the land of China was in flames. The Grand Master is merciful in his heart, how can he tolerate such a scene? ”

"Alas... Kind of Xianggong, seeing that you are faltering, your hair is gray, and you can't live for a few years, but why bother? You and I are old, there are talents in the court, and that Li Xiang is so smart that he doesn't need people like you and me to worry about the affairs of the court. When he was alone, he went away without worry. Tong Guan sighed and finally said a few more words. The way of the planter is also an old man.

Tong Guan said that he was alone, obviously talking about himself. The way of the master is not alone, and there is no concern. The farmer still has loyalty in his heart, and there is a family of generations of farmers.

When the planter heard this, he slowly stood up, and at such an age, he had already passed the nature of messing around. Tong Guan has already made up his mind, what can he do about the teacher's way?

The planter who came out of the Tongfu Road, looked up at the sky, and the Bianliang in spring often had haze. Today is another haze. There is a long way to go in military training. But it has already pressed on the crumbling Seed Master Dao.

Bald don't do the army, beat the horses and go straight into the herds of cattle and sheep all over the mountains. Countless cattle and sheep scattered and fled, bumping into one after another who had nowhere to hide. But it's the bald don't do the people themselves, and they are also people who turn over countless times on their backs.

Zheng Zhi slowly reined in the horses, looking at the scene in front of him that was messing up into a pot of porridge, with a smile on his face, he only felt funny.

I watched as countless bald people crossed the crowd and rushed towards the east, then turned to the northeast. Zheng Zhi did not give the order to chase, there were too many obstacles in front of him, and Zheng Zhi did not want to let the knights under his command also look like people on their backs.

I heard Zheng Zhi speak: "Take the leader of the lost people!" ”

Hundreds of horsemen came out on horseback, and Alibech sat on horseback, looking at his tribesmen in a daze, looking at the cattle and sheep running all over the mountains, and was silent for a long time. Probably thinking that the end of Mo Ge's loss was coming, maybe he was also blaming Changshengtian for being too cruel, why didn't he bless these people of Changshengtian, why did the good tribe fall to such a point.

Seeing hundreds of cavalry rushing towards him, Alibechi did not resist, and followed the cavalry to fight his horse in front of Zheng Zhi.

When Alibech came near, he dismounted, knelt on one knee, covered his chest and saluted. The Han man in front of him is the new master, and the only thing Alibech can count on is that this new master is not as cruel as the Jurchens.

Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and asked directly, "Where is the tribe of the Bald Dumban people?" ”

When Alibeqi heard this, he raised his head and replied, "To the northwest, three hundred miles away." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded: "Send a few horsemen to lead the way!" ”

Ali Beqi nodded, saluted again, stood up and turned back, looking for someone who was familiar with the road to lead Zheng Zhi.

Listen to Zheng Zhi's order again: "Shi Jin led 5,000 people to pursue the main force of the Bald Bungans." Wu Song took 2,000 people to escort Mo Ge back to the lost people. The rest of the people went with a certain to the tribe of the Bald Begans. ”
