Li Boyan looked at the somewhat familiar side face, the pig's waist face like Uncle Benshan, and the gray and white goat's whiskers, it was Lao Xin, it couldn't be wrong.

"Sister Qiu will take this, and then go to pick out a few pieces of jewelry and buy some for Duan Jing's daughter-in-law and the maid in the house."

Qiu Jianmei was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Xin Qiji, he wanted to dissuade him, but was interrupted by Li Boyan.

"Sister Qiu, don't worry, that time was just a reckless move by Mr. Jiaxuan in a hurry, he is a person who cherishes feathers, and he will not lose."

After that, he took the two jewelry boxes tied in Qiu Jianmei's hands and walked straight to the wine shop.

"Wouldn't it be a pity for Gong Xin to drink alone during such a festival?"

Li Boyan sat aside and shouted, "Little Er, serve the wine!" ”

The wine flag was blown to the point of hunting, Xin Qiji threw the wine glass on the table heavily, and said coldly: "You follow the old man? ”

"How dare you, just passing by."

Xin Qiji looked over with some fear, and Qiu Jianmei was still standing on the snow.

"Sister Qiu, go ahead, pick some beautiful ones! Fang'er likes red jadeite, just pick a bracelet for her. ”

Qiu Jianmei hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Cuiyun Fang.

Xiao Er brought the scalded rice wine to the table, "Guest officer, your wine." ”

"Good. Is there any food here? ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment and said, "There are still some bean rolls with wine." ”

"Bring it up."

Seeing Li Boyan's unfazed appearance, Xin Qiji was a little surprised, took a sip of wine, and said, "You really should rely on your son, don't dare to kill you?" ”

Bang dang!

Xiao Er's hand holding the lid of the pot shook and fell to the ground.

Li Boyan looked back and smiled: "Don't panic, the old man is laughing, don't take it seriously." ”

Xiao Er nodded tremblingly and picked up the lid of the pot.

Li Boyan picked up the warm wine and said with a smile: "Gong Xin is such a strong person, he will not ruin his Northern Expedition for the sake of a kid." ”

"Don't be self-righteous, don't think that you are so capable, you can see through the old man!"

Li Boyan turned his head, looked at Xin Qiji, and said: "Then Xin Gong asked himself, if you command the three armies, how many years can the Northern Expedition be?" ”

The cold wind whistled through the alley, making a whining sound.

Years?

Who dares to boast about this Haikou?

The Great Song Dynasty has been weak for a long time, how can it be said that it will take twenty years?

Xin Qiji's expression was gloomy, and he drank the wine in some disappointment.

"So, no matter how tough Xin Gong is, how many years can he have, twenty years? Forty years? When you are old, can you still ride a horse and use a blade? Your crippled body will not help in national affairs, but if you can teach the younger generation well, you can still expect the next hundred years! ”

Xin Qiji narrowed his eyes and said angrily: "What the old man wants is to kill thieves, kill thieves!" It's not a snail school, be an old gentleman who doesn't have it! You see, what is it? What is it! This is the Central's mandate! Zhenjiang Prefect, you have a good look! Zhenjiang Prefect! The Holy One intends to go on a northern expedition! It's going to be the Northern Expedition! ”

Li Boyan picked up the bean roll, chewed it, and waited until he chewed it more than a dozen times before swallowing it, looked up at the crazy Xin Qiji, and saw the hope ignited in those cloudy eyes, but said very calmly: "Oh, so what? ”

"How? The Great Song Dynasty will prosper! Wang Shibei can be expected! How about that? Zi Zhigong's good will is old and decayed, but the ambition is not here! ”

Li Boyan sighed and said, "So in your opinion, when can you leave the school?" ”

Xin Qiji was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Five years." ”

"If I tell you that the Northern Expedition is scheduled for next year, will Xin Gong be surprised?"

"Impossible!"

Li Boyan smiled: "Impossible? I tell you, it's next year! Where is Han Xiang enabling you, he really uses your remnant body as the banner of the main battle! is taking the people of the Great Song Dynasty to send them to death! ”

Xin Qiji's pupils shrank, "No, no...... The old man will definitely advise, he will not be so rash and rush the Northern Expedition! ”

"If you can persuade you, what if you can't? You are a reformed person, and you have carefully prepared your persuasion, but with what kind of vicious heart will those officials in the court try to figure out what you mean? ”

In today's court, Zhao Kuo is full of spirits, Han Yanxuan is in power, in such a situation, not to mention Xin Qiji, even Zhao Ru's foolish persuasion will not take care of it. Han Yanxuan wants the Northern Expedition, Zhao Kuo wants the Northern Expedition, that is the will of the entire court, they can wait for a year or two, but let them wait for another five years, impossible!

"Why does the teacher want to take Bianjing Public School as the name of the school, that is, he has the same ambition as Xin Gong! It's just that today's Da Song can still withstand such a loss?

No!

No, I can't!

Late students, please ask Xin Gong to think about the Great Song Dynasty and come to Bianxue! ”

Li Boyan doesn't think that this war can be stopped, he can't, Zhao Ruyu can't, and Xin Qiji can't either! However, let this old man, who has already suffered from the political struggle in the court, be used again, he can't agree!

Xin Qiji looked at Li Boyan with a complicated expression, "Although tens of millions of people have gone to me." ”

The wine flag was hunting, and Li Boyan finally got the answer he didn't want to get, but he was moved by it. How could a warrior who has unpaid ambitions and shouts "kill thieves, kill thieves" on his deathbed give up his ambitions because of this predicament.

"Okay."

Li Boyan put a chopstick on the table and put a little dried bean curd on the same side, "This is the border from Huaishui to Dasanguan in the Jin Song Dynasty, if Gong Xin is in command of the three armies, if the grain and grass are sufficient, how can he go on the Northern Expedition?" ”

Xin Qiji squinted his eyes, looked at Li Boyan and said with a smile: "Are you talking to the old man about the military family?" ”

"Exactly."

Xin Qiji became more and more curious about Li Boyan, and sneered: "Since you came to consult the old man, you naturally have the capital to ask for advice, so let's talk about it." ”

"That night was ugly. From Dasanguan to Huaishui, it is Lizhou Road, Jingnan South Road, Huainan West Road and Huainan East Road, if you command the three armies in the next place, when the army and the land of the two Huai, first take Shandong, and then take Bianjing! Jingnan Road and Lizhou Road did not move. ”

Xin Qiji looked at the chopsticks on the table and the dried tofu that he was pushing, and asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”

"The Jin people are fierce in drought warfare, but the water war is weak, and the army is raised, which can be attacked and retreated into the sea. If the war is unfavorable, there are still Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, and Jiankang to resist the Jin people going south, and Lizhou Road and Jingnan Road are broken, and if Xiangyang and Xingyuan are lost, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger. ”

Li Boyan's worries are not unreasonable, a hundred years later, the Mongols went south to defeat the Song people, and it was from Xiangyang as the starting point, as for the land of the two Huai, it was impregnable. Guarding the river must guard the Huai, which will continue to be the case for hundreds of years to come.

Xin Qiji did not express his opinion on Li Boyan's strategy, but took a sip of the newly poured rice wine, "Is there anything else?" ”

"If Xin Gong can't stop next year's war, this is the middle policy offered by Xia, and you must not start a full-scale war! Da Song is safe, please ask Gong Xin! ”.
