The brewing process is nothing more than this, and the hatred between them will slowly become deeper.

Liu Zhengjun's dozens of arrows made this Dingbian village really nervous in an instant. This is the case with war, if there is a war on this side and there are casualties on each other, it will make more people angry.

The war that follows the anger becomes the real war.

One person's ambition can lead to comrades turning against each other and friends killing each other, which is truly a tragedy.

There are too many such tragedies in this world.

Civil wars must be fought, and foreign wars must be fought. If you want to turn the world upside down, it is really not so simple and easy, and the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years has also made Zheng Zhi more and more cautious.

Zheng Zhi has returned to the south, in Liaoyang City, Shi Jin is the positive, Yue Fei is the deputy, 30,000 soldiers, 10,000 Cangzhou iron armor, 10,000 party items, and 10,000 old Liao soldiers gathered from all over the country. Zheng Zhi also trusts Yue Fei more and more, and Shi Jin also relies on Yue Fei very much.

This grandfather-in-law seems to be born as an enemy of the Jurchens. Zheng Zhi probably thought the same way, where there is a Jurchen, there should be Yue Fei.

Ordnance and materials were also continuously transported from the Gubei Pass to Liaoyang City, although Liaoyang City was not the only way for the Jurchens to go south, but it was also the most convenient way for the Jurchens to go south. Even if the Jurchens don't go south and come out to plunder, Liaoyang is also the front line that bears the brunt, and going west to the grassland is obviously not a place for plundering, and it is naturally more heavily guarded here.

Including artillery, there are also forty guns on the way to Liaoyang Mansion. When Zheng Zhi had the idea of building a large artillery, his purpose was to fight with the Jurchens. Zheng Zhi didn't think about the artillery in his hand, so he sent most of the artillery to Liaoyang Mansion.

It was also to prevent the Jurchens from using plundering to increase their power. Liaoyang Mansion is like a watershed, coming out of the forest, it is Huanglong Mansion, Liaoyang Mansion and other places, as long as you can't pass Liaoyang Mansion, it will be difficult for the Jurchens to plunder.

To the north of Liaoyang Mansion, there are groups of people going south every day, from Liaoyang Mansion to Huanglong Mansion, there are also many cities in the middle, which are relatively dense. But it is also a long and narrow area from north to south, and out of this area, it is the territory of fishing and hunting peoples. This area is naturally also inhabited by non-fishermen and hunters.

The crowds of people who went south were naturally caused by the Jurchens who were wantonly plundering property and population in the north. The Jurchens' demand for population has reached the point of madness.

The people who can reach Liaoyang safely are also the luck of all blessings. Those who can't reach it are considered lucky to be enslaved, and the dead are hard to count.

The summer is getting hotter and hotter, and Zheng Zhifang, who has entered Yanyun, knows that this land of Yanyun can also be so hot, so it is no wonder that there will be a royal Chengde summer resort outside the gate in later generations.

The Jurchen matter came to an end for the time being, and Liu Zhengyan's letter was also waiting in Yanjing for a long time.

Zheng Zhi's face was extremely ugly when he saw the letter, and he could ask for it, as expected, he was ruthless.

Wu Yong took the letter and continued to read it, and after reading it, he sighed: "Your Highness, it is really a blessing, if Xiao Liu Xianggong is really murdered this time, the northwest will become a big disaster." ”

Zhu Wu was also beside him at this time, and hurriedly took the letter from Wu Yong's hand, and after reading it, he immediately spoke: "Your Highness, this Jurchen matter is suspended, Your Highness should go to Qin Feng in person, Qin Feng is the place where we started, there are many elite soldiers, and they should be in control." Do not allow others to touch it. As long as His Highness leads the army to Qin Feng, I don't think those men of the Western Army will dare to make a move with His Highness. If you can ask for it to be captured, so that Your Highness has no worries, you can go south with all your heart, and more countless generals will help you, and great things can be expected. ”

Zhu Wu obviously hasn't acted by Zheng Zhi's side for a long time, and it is rare to have such an opportunity, he subconsciously wants to perform, make suggestions, analyze and examine, and is even more bent on helping Zheng Zhi.

Li Gang was also on the scene at this time, and when he heard what Zhu Wu said, he wanted to say a few words, but he stopped. Regarding this earth-shaking matter, Li Gang is still entangled in his heart. For an orthodox literati like Li Gang, loyalty to the monarch is an education he has received since he was a child.

But Li Gang also did his best to support Zheng Zhi. As Zheng Zhi experienced so many things, he became more and more determined.

This has become a contradiction between the disillusionment of ideals and reality, and this contradiction is only deep in Li Gang's heart. Hearing that the naked event could be expected, Li Gang still felt a little harsh, so he stopped speaking.

On the one hand, he did his best for the internal affairs of the Yan Palace, but on the other hand, it was difficult for some inherent concepts to completely collapse. This is Li Gang. is somewhat similar to Xun Yu under Cao Cao, Xun Yu did his best for Cao Cao, and had an inherent loyalty to the crumbling man, so he also died in the entanglement.

Li Gang will not die in this entanglement, but the entanglement is inevitable.

Recently, Zheng Zhi's ears have been talking more and more of this kind of naked words. Wu Yong said it, Lu Da said it, and Zhu Wu also said it. It was the battle of Huai'an, and the generals shouted "Long live", and everyone was not surprised.

"Tomorrow, I will order 10,000 iron horses, set off first, stop at the river for two days, and then go to the northwest. After another 20,000 rides, there is no need for fast horses, and the normal speed is. Zheng Zhi also knew that this trip to the northwest was bound to go, but he also had a little other ideas.

Wu Yongyan asked: "Why is Your Highness like this, 30,000 horsemen will go to the northwest quickly, so as to deter the enemy." ”

Zheng Zhi shook his head and said: "Now that there is a shortage of food and grass, I will take 10,000 iron armor to go first, just to see what I think." If there is really going to be a war, then let the follow-up army come at an accelerated pace. If you can not be bloody, you will not have to run the army in vain, and save some people and horses food and grass. ”

Zheng Zhi's idea is to know that if he can surrender to the Jurchens, he may not be able to surrender to himself. Liu Zhengyan is not dead, where is he qualified to compete with himself, and he is obviously a person who can judge the situation and size up the situation. You can still have the idea of compromising and finding the right time.

What's more, Zheng Zhi is already a backbone figure in the hearts of the Northwest Army, which is incomparable. If Zheng Zhi is defeated for thousands of miles, it is possible to succeed if he can ask for it, Zheng Zhi will return victorious, and he should think about it carefully.

When the horse gallops, it is necessary to prepare countless grains and grass for the horses to consume. The horse walks slowly, and the grain and grass are naturally saved. Even healthy horses can eat half-full on the side of the road. That's the difference. Tens of thousands of horses, out of the real pasture, the consumption of rations is really a big problem. The importance is not even below the question of human rations.

Tens of thousands of cavalry came and went, and the heavy burden on the Central Plains dynasty and forces can be seen.

After the army traveled northwest, it had to continue to go south, and grain and grass were the top priority, so it was no wonder that Zheng Zhi was so economical.

Wu Yongyan naturally didn't believe in Zheng Zhi's "soldiers are not bloody", and if a person has ambitions, it is impossible to contain them, so he opened his mouth and continued: "Your Highness, the ambition has been revealed, and it will definitely not be tied." Even if it is true, it must be a treacherous scheme, just like murdering Xiao Liu Xianggong, and deceitful to murder His Royal Highness. Your Highness is not to be gullible. ”

"Credulity?" Zheng Zhi smiled slightly, and said: "Then you don't know how this folding prince can bend and stretch." ”

"Your Highness, you must kill this son!" Zhu Wu also opened his mouth to speak, because he was afraid that Zheng Zhizhen, as Wu Yong said, would fall into a trap such as a swindling surrender.

When Zheng Zhi heard this, his face was straight, but he no longer answered. Whether it is a dead road or a living way can be turned off, it is already doomed when it is folded to ask Liu Zhengyan to hunt far away. If there is no such thing, life and death are two words.

The key to this matter is not to ask whether you can survive or not. The key lies in how to calm down this possible melee in the northwest without bloodshed, and then it is a matter of life and death.

Zheng Zhi didn't answer, Wu Yongzhu Wu, and Li Gang all stared at Zheng Zhi to look, hoping that Zheng Zhi would listen to these words.

Zheng Zhi looked at the eyes of the three of them, but he didn't show what he thought, he only said: "Let's do it and see, this guy can be fooled by Xiao Liu Xianggong, but he can't be blinded." ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little relieved. Wu Yong was still a little worried, and said, "The student will definitely go to Qin Feng with His Highness this time." ”

Zheng Zhi naturally knew the reason why Wu Yong wanted to go with him, so he also nodded: "Pedants can follow the army." ”

In this way, the discussion can be considered settled. Then Li Gang brought a pair of account books and official documents, and began to report on the political affairs of various places, as well as the accounts handed over by Pei Xuan.

Zheng Zhi listened to Li Gang's detailed explanation while flipping through it, and Wu Yongzhu Wu also helped classify and record Zheng Zhi's instructions, and then issued them into official documents.

Before I knew it, it was already night, and the officials and the like also lit candles.

In the hall in front of the head, there were a group of generals in Zheng Zhi's personal barracks, and now Zheng Zhi's personal soldiers have nearly 1,000 people. Among them, there were five hundred in the battalion that rushed into battle. In addition, there were three or four hundred people who gave orders.

In the hall, except for the generals on duty, the rest of the generals gathered here. As soon as the battle ended, everyone gathered together, and they also ate wine and meat to relieve the fatigue of marching during this time.

The treatment in the pro-military camp is naturally slightly better than that of other tribes, and the wine and food from the Huotou camp are very rich.

Niu Da and Yang Zaixing are naturally the main generals. Now Niu Da is mainly responsible for the matter of heralding, and he also goes with him. Yang Zaixing is full-time responsible for following Zheng Zhi into battle.

But these two people are both very arrogant, and they are used to fighting and rushing into battle, and they have never thought of stopping Zheng Zhi from taking risks, and sometimes there is no way, such as the battle of Huai'an, Zheng Zhi is in danger, and it is also because of that encounter that he is too eager, Zheng Zhi wants to win, and subconsciously plunges into the army.

If Wu Yong was in this pro-military camp, he would definitely have to reach out and grab Zheng Zhi. Now His Royal Highness King Yan is in a high position, and he is the backbone of everyone, and everyone relies on him, so he really shouldn't be in such a risk. From ancient times to the present, there are very few such coaches, if you really want to talk about it, Li Shimin may be one. This is also the main reason why Li Shimin was able to become a big soldier in Xuanwumen.

In the hall, the scene was extremely lively, and more than 20 generals, although some of them were only the head of the brigade or the head of the capital, they could be superior everywhere. Ordinary battalion commanders can't compare to the faces of the people in this pro-barracks.

After drinking a little old wine, they all got up, stepped forward to salute Yang Zaixing and Niu Da, made two bowls in a row, laughed, turned red, turned back to face everyone, raised the wine glass, and said: "Colleagues, we can have today, all thanks to His Royal Highness, in the future, His Royal Highness will inevitably be honored with great treasures, called His Majesty the Son of Heaven." When you go into battle, you should fight more bravely. In the future, Long live the dignity of His Royal Highness, and he will definitely not treat us badly. When the time comes, we will all be the founding merits, not to mention the glory of our ancestors, but also to bless our descendants for generations. Congratulations, come, come, drink a bowl together, long live Your Highness! ”

In the audience, it was this person who drank the fastest and drank the most. Between the words, there is no scruple at all, it is all from the heart.

Looking at the people on the left and right, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed and lifted their wine bowls.

It was Yang Zaixing and Niu Da, who were also smiling. Lift the wine and drink it all.
