Qian Heng had already heard about the suppression of the family army in Yanzhou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The main reason for all this is that the Northern Song Dynasty's statecraft strategy of emphasizing literature over military force, coupled with the fact that the concubine Tong Guan was in power, made it impossible for the seed army to really grow.

In other words, the attitude of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty did not attach importance to the generals, so that the combat power of the Great Song Dynasty continued to decline, and even the descendants of many military generals who made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country began to turn to the scholar class by participating in the imperial examination.

Therefore, Qian Heng can understand this explanation of Yan Chong.

can only smile bitterly.

"Anyway, the Western Army is the most powerful army in my Great Song Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with that!"

At the mention of this, Chong Yanchong's face also showed a little pride, "This last general doesn't deny it, but if you want to see the majesty of the Western Army, you have to ask Lord Qian to enter the military city to see it!" ”

Qian Heng nodded and smiled, "Of course, the general will lead the way!" ”

Chong Yanchong urged the war horse to lead the way in front, and Qian Heng hurriedly followed.

By the time the two of them arrived at the military city, it was already completely dark, but on both sides of the military city gate, there were soldiers holding torches, and it was not impossible to see anything clearly.

The two dismounted, and naturally a soldier came over to take the reins from Qian Heng's hand and led the horses away.

"Lord Qian, please!"

"General, please!"

Qian Heng followed Chong Yanchong into the city gate, only to find that this so-called military city was nothing more than an urn city surrounded by earthen walls. The surrounding city wall is made of earth and stones, but inside the city, there are tents, and only in a few places are there some buildings.

The farmer lived in a huge tent, and when the thick felt curtain was lifted, a wave of heat came to his face.

This was followed by the aroma of wine and food.

Qian Heng's stomach was hooked by the fragrance of this wine and food, and he involuntarily gurgled softly, and he was indeed a little hungry when he rode over on horseback all the way.

Chong Yanchong stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "General Qiyu, the last general has brought Master Qian back, and the last general has handed over the order!" ”

Qian Heng only noticed that an old man was sitting on a thick blanket, his eyes were bright, and he had a handful of white beards under his chin.

At this time, the old man was twisting his beard under his chin and looking at Qian Heng with a smile on his face.

Qian Heng also hurriedly stepped forward, "Qian Hengyuan, I've seen an old general!" ”

The old man laughed, got up from the ground, and waved his hand at Yan Chong first, "Yan Chong, go down first!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

After Chong Yanchong hugged his fists and saluted, he left the big tent.

Only Qian Heng and Seed Master Dao were left, and Seed Master Dao said with a smile, "I have long heard of Hengyuan's name, hurry up and sit down!" ”

As soon as the seed master said this, Qian Heng understood.

Now that the master didn't want to speak as an official, Qian Hengcai smiled and said, "Old general, that junior is not welcome!" ”

"Ru Lin and Ji Zhong have mentioned your affairs many times in their letters, and he and I are both old buddies, so how can I be polite to you?"

As soon as the seed master said this, Qian Heng realized that it seemed that the old general's connections in front of him were not weak, whether it was Zong Ze or Zhang Shuye, they would be the masters of the phase in the future.

If it weren't for the continuous suppression of the seed master in the Jingkang year, I am afraid that the Northern Song Dynasty would not have been attacked by the Jin State into Bianjing so quickly.

Qian Heng didn't know what Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze said to the Planter Dao in the letter, and he didn't know what the Planter's attitude was towards him, but the appearance in front of him made Qian Heng feel a lot more relieved, at least, the Planter Dao was not bad in his first impression.

Thinking of this, Qian Heng said with a smile, "The two adults take care of the little ones a lot, if it weren't for the support of the two adults, I wouldn't have been entrusted with a heavy task by the official family so quickly!" ”

"This is true, but Hengyuan, I heard that you promised Ji Zhong and Ru Lin a batch of war horses, but is there such a thing?"

As soon as he heard this topic, the corners of Qian Heng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

When Qian Heng came in, he had always been cautious, and what he was most worried about was that the two of them mentioned this matter to the Seed Master.

You must know that if you want to transport war horses into the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter which way you go, you must pass through the area controlled by the Western Army, that is to say, as long as he Qian Heng wants to transport war horses to the mainland, he will not be able to escape the ears and eyes of the breeder.

Seeing the change in Qian Heng's expression, the breeder laughed again, "What kind of expression is Hengyuan, don't you think I'm going to ask you for a war horse?" ”

When Qian Heng heard this, his face couldn't help but be happy, "Could it be that the old general doesn't want a war horse from me?" That's great! ”

Breeder Dao smiled and said, "Of course I won't ask you for a war horse for no reason, but if you transport a war horse to Jingdong Road, I will take a cut!" ”

"Rake? How much does the old general plan to take? ”

"Fifty percent is how?"

Seed Master Dao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qian Heng with a smile.

"What? How good is it for you to say it directly? ”

Qian Heng never thought that the old man in front of him would be so dark. One mouth will take half of the horse.

The seed master laughed, "Hengyuan, I extract such a high benefit, but there is a reason, you might as well listen to it?" ”

The words have been said for this part, what can Qian Heng do if he doesn't listen, so he has to nod, "Although the old general is in the future, I also want to hear the old general's reasons!" ”
