In Qinzhou in the northwest, Zhe Keqiu, Liu Zhengyan, and Yang Keshi were just ready to send troops to Hedong, but there was a shocking news that reached the ears of several people.

Hearing this news, the three of them all laughed relatively loudly, and Yang Keshi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty the new monarch is not bad, he has been crowned the king of Zheng Xianggong when he comes up, and it seems that he will be a holy king." ”

Liu Zhengyan also laughed and said, "Haha... In this way, Zheng Xianggong will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future, and we should send someone to him as soon as possible to congratulate him. ”

Zhe Keqiu heard the words, looked left and right, smiled, frowned, and slowly spoke: "Don't be happy, this is an appointment under the city, and the officials in Tokyo are also forced to be helpless, although the matter of Zheng Xianggong seems to be proper, how can the officials in Tokyo swallow this breath?" When the new monarch sits firmly, there will be repetition. ”

When Liu Zhengyan heard this, he was worried in his heart, and he also frowned, and then his eyes were horizontal, and he replied: "That is to control Zheng Xianggong, how can it be so simple, now he is the king of Yan, and his son is the king of Zhao." In the land of Yan Zhao, the dragon has been entrenched since ancient times, and Zheng Xianggong is resourceful and good at fighting, and there are still people in this world who can handle him. Tomorrow, I will leave first, and I will go to Hebei to personally serve Zheng. . . His Royal Highness King Yan congratulates. It is to let others know a few times, I, Liu Zhengyan, have always known that I have been gracious, His Royal Highness King Yan is kind to me, and I will repay him to see who dares to repeat. ”

Zhe Keqiu was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Liu Zhengyan, who knew that Liu Zhengyan was looking towards Zheng Zhi in his heart, but he didn't know that Liu Zhengyan supported Zheng Zhi so much, and his words were just like that, so he could be regarded as open-mouthed. But it was Liu Zhengyan who went to Hebei to express his support, and this kind of support has a different meaning. If this matter reaches Tokyo, it is not difficult to guess the opinion of the Tokyo princes.

Zhe Keqiu obviously can't do this kind of support on the surface, Zhe Keqiu's heart is mostly a muffled idea to make a fortune, and this Liu Zhengyan is already in Hebei, not in the northwest. Whether it's good or bad, there is no consideration for it, but it feels a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Yang Keshi asked another question: "Then do I want to take the army to Hedong?" ”

Zhe Keqiu glanced at Liu Zhengyan and replied, "Go, why don't you go, what will I eat if I don't go?" This time, Xiao Liu Xianggong went to Hebei first, and brought more of the property I collected in Xixia, which was also a little heart. ”

Zhe Keqiu has already had evil in his heart, and now this trip to Hedong is no longer to cater to Zhao Ji. Instead, he was unwilling to let his corporal remove his armor at all. Now that Tokyo has compromised Zheng Zhi, it has made Zhi Keqiu a little less afraid of Tokyo, that is, to keep these capable soldiers under his command. So how can you not go to Hedong?

Rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, and they can't rob it in the northwest, so they rob it in the east of the river. This trip was snatched back, and the Western Army's food and salary for a year or two would inevitably be no problem.

When Liu Zhengyan heard this, he continued: "Excellent, King Yan will open the mansion, and it will be more grand, and we can't lose the face of our Western Army." ”

Zheng Zhi has already entered Cangzhou, and after returning from the war, most of the generals are homesick, and Zheng Zhi is the same.

Cangzhou is not as good as other places, as long as you smell the army passing by, the official road will be crowded with people, and the people from ten miles and eight towns will rush to the official road.

The news of Zheng Zhi's title to the king this time was much faster than the normal march, and it had already spread throughout Hebei, destroying Liao in one battle, and one door and two kings. This kind of thing has been rare throughout the ages, this Zheng Xianggong, His Royal Highness King Yan, is like a god of war.

There are still many martial law incidents in other parts of Hebei, and I have heard some rumors of Zheng Zhi's rebellion. Now this Cangzhou is different, only the invincible prestige of this Zheng Xianggong's army, only the joy of this Zheng Xianggong being crowned king in a war, and the joy of triumph for the children of the same clan.

An old man looked at the passing army, suddenly knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Meet the king!" ”

A middle-aged man next to him also hurriedly knelt down and reminded: "Father, the king is the title of the old ancient, so he should be called His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the king was originally the king of a country, and the Liao people still had such a name, but now, even the Liao people are not called so. On the contrary, it was the bandits and bandits who occupied the mountains that inherited this title.

When the old man heard this, he shouted again: "Meet His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

The middle-aged man also shouted: "Meet His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

Many people on the left and right saw it as a novelty, and they also knelt on the ground to meet His Royal Highness King Yan.

Zheng Zhi suddenly saw such a scene, even if he didn't expect it, he was very happy in his heart, and raised his hand to signal left and right.

"It's okay to be excused." The planter reminded him softly.

Zheng Zhi heard the reminder and hurriedly said: "Fellow countrymen are exempt from courtesy, courtesy." ”

Zheng Zhi's voice of courtesy is like this, and he keeps talking along the road. The soldiers in the neat queue also laughed.

The old man who was the first to meet got up, and searched among the columns of ironclad soldiers, raising his eyes and looking non-stop, and the middle-aged son next to him also helped to find it.

The heavens were satisfied, and the two of them had not yet found the person they were looking for, but it was the person who found the two people first, and shouted from afar: "Father, eldest brother, I am here." ”

The two of them looked behind with the voice, and saw a young man in the outermost queue, but the young man didn't dare to move, but just poked his head out slightly, and said, "Here, here." ”

The old man burst into laughter, but immediately cried again, and said, "My good son... ”

The old man hurriedly took a few steps forward, but was stopped by Da'er again, only to hear Da'er say: "Father, don't disturb the march of the army, after you can enter Qingchi, your younger brother will come back." ”

The old man naturally stopped and watched his son slowly walk over.

The young man who came over looked excited, and shouted: "Father, the child has made meritorious contributions, and he has killed three enemies, and Yu Hou's merit book is recorded." ”

"Good, good, good... What a child... The old man didn't know what to say, but he just said yes.

But it was these two sentences, and the young man had already walked over, turned around and shouted again: "Father, His Royal Highness King Yan of my family has a reward when he goes back, more than 30 pounds, and more than 200 catties of grain, all for you, and bring them back to honor you." I heard that the land will be divided, and the land will be planted by the eldest brother and the second brother. Wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back and have a drink. ”

The voice faded away, and the young man didn't dare to tilt his head back anymore to look, the discipline in the army was strict, but he just walked over.

The old man watched his son walk over like this, laughing with tears, and wanted to go forward, but there were blind dates from the village on the left and right, and he couldn't walk a few steps, so he had to stop and wipe the tears on his face with the cuffs full of patches, and said straightly: "Good child, good child." ”

The middle-aged man next to him smiled with a relieved face, and only said: "Father beats and scolds a lot on weekdays, and I said that my younger brother will have a future in the future, but my father still doesn't believe it... ”

"There is a future, there is a future, and His Royal Highness King Yan is good, His Royal Highness King Yan is invincible, so he has a future." The old man slowly withdrew from the side of the road and gave up his seat to other villagers in the village, and there were dozens of prodigal people in the village who went out to serve as soldiers this time, and now almost all of them have returned triumphantly.

Similar dialogues are one after another along this journey. There were also many young people who followed the army all the way forward, all the way to Qingchi City.

Many of the men in the queue also straightened their chests, and from time to time secretly looked at the side of the road, and saw that there were still young people in the village following them, with even more smiles on their faces, and their heads held high, full of spirit.

The army entered the military camp outside the city of Qingchi, and each returned to the tribe.

Zhu Long and Zhu Wu began to be very busy. Hundreds of Yu Marquis around Zhu Wu were huddled together. But Zhu Long went straight to the city, and the treasury in the city was wide open, and one by one the carriages came and went between the treasury and the barracks.

As Zheng Zhi slowly entered the city, he smiled and said, "King Yan is a big deal, I'm afraid that this Great Song Dynasty is also the only one." ”

Zheng Zhi said with a smile: "Life is the most valuable, the sons and daughters go out with a certain expedition and return by luck, how can they be slow." Money and food are small, but people's hearts are big. As long as the hearts of the sons and daughters are hot, they are fearless. ”

The seed master nodded and said, "Alas... It's a pity that when I was in Yan'an Mansion back then, Jingluo Mansion was too tight, otherwise it would have been such a rewarding scene. ”

Zheng Zhi saw that there was some guilt in the seed center, so he said: "There is no need to be ashamed, in the Western Army, the treatment of the men is not bad." The officials in Tokyo had to take off the armor of these men. ”

The planter and the planter obviously have the same feelings on this issue, and when they see the man who works hard in the end, he is only guilty. only said: "The Great Song Dynasty is full of money and grain, but it is not given to the soldiers." I really don't know what the reason is. ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he also felt in his heart, and only said: "This time such a reward is not really rich in money and food, but because I want these soldiers to be envied and respected after they go home." Fight for the Han and fight for your life, how can you be treated badly, no matter how generous the reward is, it should be. ”

Hearing this, the seed master nodded, his face was firm, and he only said: "That's right!" ”

Outside the barracks, crowded with civilians, mostly young people, gathered outside the high fence and kept looking inside the barracks.

There were constant cars and horses around him, and they all entered the gate of the camp. It wasn't that some grains of rice and wheat leaked out of the gaps in the frame, so the young man lay on the ground and picked them up one by one, reluctant to waste one. These grains are also grown one by one by these pickers over the years.

The Chinese have lived like this since ancient times, and what this land has given has never dared to live up to. The people of China are the best people in the world.

Later in the evening, these teenagers still did not disperse outside the barracks, where there were their brothers, friends, and even their fathers.

After a long time, the smell of wine and meat wafted through the barracks. The hungry teenagers kept swallowing their saliva.

Afterwards, countless ironclad soldiers walked out of the tents with waist knives on their shoulders, eating wine and meat in their hands, and constantly searching along the fence.

The soldiers were not allowed to go out of the camp at night, but they would not forget these people who came with them outside the camp.

A soldier found his younger brother and hurriedly handed the wine and meat in his hand out of the gap in the wooden wall.

The young man took the wine and meat and feasted on it, and the campfire illuminated the young man's face with a smile.

Jun Han saw that his younger brother was eating happily, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke." The wine must be drunk in small sips, this wine is brewed by His Royal Highness, the first strong wine in the world, and it is like a fire when drunk. ”

When the young man heard this, he put down the piece of meat in his hand, picked up the wine bag, tasted it, and then coughed twice, and only said: "Big brother, you came to be a soldier before the head, I still think that you have nowhere to go and nowhere to go, if you know this, I will come with you." ”

"Haha... Even I didn't expect that King Yan loves soldiers like a son. However, this battle array is extraordinary, there are only two sons at home, you still support your parents at home, this time the grain has been distributed a hundred catties, and the money should be distributed tomorrow morning, and there should be more than a dozen. You bring some back tomorrow, I should be a few days before I leave the camp to visit my family, and then I will have a drink with you when I go back. "This soldier has seen the battle formation this time, and he knows that the battle array is bloody, and there are only two brothers in the family, so he must keep one.

"Big brother, why don't you go to get the battle formation, I can't go. If His Royal Highness King Yan recruits soldiers and horses again, I will also sign up. The young man probably didn't think much about it in his heart, but he looked at the wine and meat in his hand, which was already an irresistible temptation.

"You're still young, and don't think much about it, and we'll talk about it in two years. There are many rumors in the army, saying that this time will appreciate the fields, which should be true. If you give a reward to the field, it must be taken care of. The military man said again, in his heart, he didn't want the two brothers in the family to go into battle.

The young man ate wine and meat, but did not answer, but looked up at his eldest brother with a smile, handed a plate in, and put the remaining half of the meat into his arms. He covered the sac and tied it around his waist, and then began to eat a dough cake again.

Then he said, "I will also take this wine and meat back to my father to taste." ”

The military man smiled when he heard this: "Haha... What's more, you just have to eat, and when the reward is paid tomorrow, you will go into the city to buy more and bring it home. ”

"Save it for tomorrow on the way back." The young man smiled innocently, and then remembered something: "Big brother, you gave me all the food, do you still have to eat when you go back?" ”

"Yes, there are some, tonight His Highness will reward the whole army, that is, there is enough food and drink, and there are more in the camp tent." The military man also smiled very happily.

Zheng Zhi had already arrived at the gate of the Dejingluo Mansion, and when he got off the horse, he was about to enter.

Li Gang suddenly remembered something, hurriedly caught up a few steps, and asked, "Your Highness, is the emperor still in the camp outside the city?" ”

Zheng Zhi stopped when he heard this, and he was eager to return home, but he forgot about it, and hurriedly said: "Quickly arrange a house in the city, let her live there first, and send a lot of people to guard it." ”

When Li Gang heard this, he said, "That... This matter ... ”

Zheng Zhi waved his hand and said, "That's it for now, let's finish all the things that should be busy first." ”

Li Gang didn't ask any more, turned his head and went to make arrangements.
