In the early morning of the next day, the black clouds were not hidden, and Shi Baoji and more than 2,000 wounded soldiers were escorted, and the group walked very slowly, and it was not until eight days later that they arrived at Jinju City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

One is a horse in the court, and the other is a general who has just been given a kiss by the official family and promoted to the top, Jinzhou City has shown itself very hard, and deliberately vacated the camp of the Jinzhou Terracotta Division for Lu Fei's soldiers and horses to station, and the daily supply is not lacking, the rear of the battlefield is different, singing and dancing everywhere, and the market is prosperous.

In this way, Lu Fei temporarily stationed the army in Jinzhou, doing nothing every day, eating and drinking well in the barracks, raising a circle of fat, and after a few days, he suddenly received a funeral report from Yanzhou, Xiazhou deployed Dane in Yanzhou The war wound recurred, so he went.

Dane died on the front line with the dignity of the commander, which disgraced the imperial court, Zhou Xian, the governor of Yanzhou, was dismissed, Tian Renlang was beheaded by Tian Renlang (the commander of the township army besieging Longzhou), Pan Mei, the governor of the Western Expedition, was removed from his post and returned to Beijing to be punished, and Li Jilong was demoted to three levels and still served in the army (only demoted to the rank of official, still the commander of the left wing), and Shi Baoji was transferred back to the capital due to injury, and his position as the commander of the right wing of the Japanese army was revoked, and he was reappointed as the direct commander of the inner temple (in charge of the imperial city palace guards), and Yang Guangmei was removed from his post and returned to Beijing with the army transfer. He was reappointed as a transfer envoy to Jiangnan Province, and the generals and officers in the army were demoted by one level, and all the generals who were originally promoted were dismissed on the spot.

At the same time, the imperial court took Lu Duan, the governor of the political affairs hall, as the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and had full authority to deal with the war in the northwest.

Before the arrival of the new army of the Great Song Dynasty, all the divisions of all the units of the Japanese army, and no one in the whole army made military merits, except for Lu Fei, who had just been enthroned by the Son of Heaven a month ago, and it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to go back on his word.

Lu Fei, who was far away in Jinzhou, could think of the anger of the official family, Dane was going to die, but he couldn't die like this, he had to die in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and he wanted to set an example for the generals who dared to claim military merits in the whole world, maybe the Son of Heaven even prepared the charges, so he sent his class back to the court, and now this trouble,, not only did he not kill him with his own hands, but he also had to posthumously seal his identity, how could this breath be swallowed, and it completely disrupted the emperor's plan.

The generals of the Western Expedition became scapegoats, all the merits did not exist, and the matter of the Western Expedition fell to the new envoy Lu Duan.

Anyway, Lu Fei can't control these militaristic events, but it's a pity that more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers and Tian Renlang's 20,000 township troops who have died on the battlefield in the past few months, there is no way, and the end of playing tricks with the imperial power is like this, if you are not careful, you don't know who will be involved.

Shi Baoji returned to Beijing, the Japanese army was also retreating, the party was in civil strife, and he took advantage of the confrontation between the forbidden army and Tuoba Jiqian in the area of Sanchuankou to confront the forbidden army, and secretly sneaked back to Helan Mountain and attacked the royal court.

When Lu Fei planned to return to Bianliang from Jinzhou, there was news from the front line, Lu Duan had arrived in Yanzhou, received the order of the Son of Heaven, and the leader of the party Li Jiqian was the king of Xingping, giving the surname of the country, Zhao, renamed Zhao Baozhong, and his grandson Zhao Yuanhao moved to Bianliang, the party affairs were led by his son Zhao Deming, the Great Song Dynasty divided the northwest states for the difficult army, Zhao Baozhong was the envoy of the difficult army, since then, from Guazhou in the west, Yin Mountain in the north, and Liupan Mountain in the south all belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, guarded by the Zhao family of Xingping King for generations, and the Great Song Dynasty court set up the Northwest Xuanfu Mansion in Xiazhou, The imperial court sent officials to serve as the Northwest Xuanfu envoy (similar to the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region), so that the envoy of the Dingyan Army has become a vacant post.

The conditions for peace negotiations are almost unequal, but the party members are no longer able to fight, and the 80,000 forbidden area troops have crossed the Yellow River.

When Lu Fei heard the news, he didn't stay long, and sent someone to Yanzhou to pick up Su Niang, and when the Japanese army arrived in Jinzhou, it was already the beginning of February.

The conditions for peace were all accepted by the party and the party, and Xiang Xun's 80,000 forbidden troops were ordered to return the same way as soon as they crossed the Yellow River, leaving only Lu Duan to deal with border affairs in Yanzhou, at least this battle would not have to be fought again.

Several generals of the Japanese army repaired a little in Jinju, and everyone's faces were gloomy, and when the army went out, they all had the mentality of making contributions on the battlefield, and when they went back, they didn't catch anything, and their mood was really low to the bottom.

Due to the death of Dane in battle and the removal of Pan Mei, Li Jilong temporarily assumed the post of commander of the Japanese army, and the generals gathered in Jinju with a heavy heart, and they all smiled bitterly when they met each other.

Although Lu Fei is in a different way, he does not fall but rises, but the unfortunate thing is that the entire Japanese army is praised, and this sense of collective honor is still there, besides, if the Japanese army is trampled underfoot, it is not good for his future background, no, anyway, there is no war now, and the five brothers gathered together in a restaurant in Jinzhou City to drink stuffy wine.

The restaurant was full of customers and business was booming, Lu Fei and the five of them found a private room facing the street, ordered a table of home-cooked side dishes, and drank while chatting.

After drinking too much, Tie Hammer saw Lu Fei's preoccupied appearance, and said, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Why are you frowning, still thinking about Dai Dashuai? ”

Lu Fei drank it all in his arms, smacked his lips and said: "Dai Dashuai is too big, it's not our turn to worry about these little people, I'm worrying about you." ”

Cao Keming came over with a wine jug to fill it for him, and interjected: "We? What's wrong with us? ”

Lu Fei sighed and said, "Do you remember the last time the First Army filled the vacancy?" I didn't report it to you. ”

As soon as they heard this, all the brothers looked relieved, and laughed together, Luo Cheng said: "Big brother, this matter is thanks to your consideration in advance, no, all the newly promoted people in the whole army have been wiped out, and even the original official body has not been saved, let's salute the foresight of the eldest brother." ”

Everyone raised their glasses, Lu Fei drank and said: "This reason is the same time, at that time, there was indeed such a consideration for not letting you go up, but now the army is going to be a teacher, if you can't arrange it for you, you may never have a chance again, after this battle, the Japanese army lost half of its men, and it can't be recovered in a year and a half. ”

When everyone heard it, they also felt that there was some truth, but how could a small soldier control this kind of thing, even if the official family ordered the Japanese army to be disbanded on the spot and incorporated into other forbidden armies, who could say a word.

Cao Keming nodded and said: "Big brother's concern is not unreasonable, since the year before last, since the Japanese army defended the capital, until the Western Expedition, all the generals at all levels have not been promoted or surrendered, and they are all standing still, it seems that we will have to endure the days ahead." ”

Cao Keming's words caused a burst of sighs, the forbidden army is no longer fighting, and it is not possible for soldiers to climb up by virtue of military merits, and if there is one, it is only reserved for the children of families who have backers, for example, the son of a minister's family has just been in an official rank and wants to find a way to mix with a military background, then throw it into these non-fighting armies for a few months, and then transfer away, and there is no danger and a military background.

Lu Fei took the wine glass, came to the window, pushed open the window and looked at the street, a cool breeze mixed with all kinds of shouting along the street came in, the snow on the street was quietly melting, and there was ice water dripping down the eaves, Lu Fei stretched out his hand, the ice water was dripping in his thick calloused palm, splashing on his face cold, he couldn't just go back to the court, holding the Japanese army to die so many brothers, and he didn't catch anything, it was too chilling.

Lu Fei pressed the ice water in his hand to his cheek, a burst of cold hit, he turned his head to look at the brothers, and said slowly: "We have to find a way to get back to decency, we have to fight." ”

Cao Keming said: "But the intention is to let our class teachers, and the battle is already over." ”

At this time, there was a burst of horse bells on the bustling street, several Khitan businessmen drove the carriage, pulling the goods through the street, a man was running out of the restaurant gate at his feet, flashed into the crowd, after walking a distance, he took out a brocade bag from his arms, put it in his hand, and left with a proud face.

Lu Fei looked at this man like a thief, but it was just a flash, and his attention was on the Khitan caravan again.

Lu Fei blurted out for a while: "The Khitans are all here? ”

Cao Keming leaned over to take a look and said: "This is only more than 300 miles away from the Song-Liao border, and the two sides have not fought since the first battle at Yanmen Pass last year, and many fields (border trade places) have been built on the border, and it is not surprising that you can see Khitan merchants here." ”

Lu Fei sighed and nodded: "Has Song Liao made peace?" ”

At that time, during the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Cao Keming and his uncle Cao Guangshi were in Tangzhou to command the army, and they had assisted in the Battle of Yanmen, so they still knew a little about these things.

Cao Keming said: "This is not it, both sides are taking the initiative to retreat, the battle has been fought for several months, there are too many dead, all of them are seriously injured, I heard my uncle say, it seems that Cao Tai, who was in charge of the army at that time, comforted the official family, and the official family ordered the retreat, let abandon some of the military forts outside the Yanmen Pass, the army was stationed at the Yanmen Pass, and the strong walls outside the pass were clear, and the Liao army was unable to continue to go south, so he retreated, how did the eldest brother think of asking this? ”

Lu Fei smiled, returned to the table, and said thoughtfully: "You said that if the Japanese army does not retreat now, but goes north to attack Liao and fights him, is there a chance of victory?" ”

Among the four brothers, only Cao Keming had the experience of leading troops, he pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "The imperial court has no will, where does this logistical supply come from?" Besides, the morale of the Japanese army is now low, and it will be in vain to die if they go, not to mention, they use troops without will, according to the younger brother, Li Jilong does not have the courage. ”

This Lu Fei agreed, Li Jilong has always behaved in a proper manner, and he did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, and he would do whatever the official said, or let him temporarily lead the Japanese army.

Lu Fei was thinking about this in the wrong place, and without Li Jilong's nod, this battle couldn't have started.

"Forget it, drink the bar, there is wine today and drunk today, who cares about drinking gruel in the future, come, raise a glass." Lu Fei simply didn't let this matter go to heart, but fortunately, in addition to getting a military commander in his line, he also hugged two women, and this trip was not in vain.

For a while, the cup was pushed and changed in the private room, and the joy dissolved.

After a while, I heard a noise downstairs, thinking that someone was making trouble in the restaurant, and it happened that the shopkeeper came in and added two more pots of wine to the brothers.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to ask, "Little second brother, what's going on downstairs, why is it so noisy?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Oh, there is a scholar who eats and drinks, he doesn't give money after eating, and insists that his money bag was lost in our restaurant, you say that you are not angry, no, our owner is planning to turn to the government." ”

Lu Feiyi frowned, remembering the man who had just run out of the restaurant, and hurriedly said, "Scholars will also eat and drink?" Insulting private articles. ”

The shopkeeper said: "Who said it wasn't, that person looks like Sven, but you have to pay for dinner." ”

The iron hammer on the side laughed and said: "Haha, big brother, you are lonely and unheard, not to mention that the scholars eat and drink, but I have seen the sleeping girls in the kiln, what Sven, that is all fake and serious." ”

Lu Fei smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "Little second brother, let's do it, don't embarrass him for that scholar, I'll pay for his wine and food." ”

With that, Lu Fei took out a few grains of broken silver from his arms and handed them over.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and said: "Yo, you are really righteous, come on, the little one will go and talk to the owner." ”

The Zhang Jiang people on the side are very honest, sometimes they are more muna, and their reactions are half a beat slower than the other four, but this will be the first to say: "Big brother, who is this person?" Do you have acquaintances in Jinju City? ”

Tie Hammer hurriedly sneered, smacked his lips and said: "Fourth, you can't see this, eldest brother is a righteous and squandering money, and he is anxious for justice and righteousness." ”

Lu Fei smiled and said: "As for it, isn't it just the money for a meal of wine and food, who can have no accident when he goes out, don't care about him, come, drink, if you don't fight, you will only have to drink to live." ”

The staggered bargaining, you respect me, the brotherhood is all between the hip and the wine, and no one takes the scholar who has no money to pay the bill for dinner seriously.

After a while, I heard a knock on the door outside the private room, and the shopkeeper led a man in green clothes to walk in.

After Xiao Eryi's introduction, it turned out that this person was the scholar who didn't give money for dinner just now, and when he heard that someone upstairs had relieved him, he wanted to come up to thank him.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, the scholar stepped forward and bowed his hands to the five people in the banquet one by one, and said slowly: "I don't know which one is generous, and I want to thank you in person."

All the brothers turned their heads to look at Lu Fei together, Lu Fei saw that his action was quite easy-going and respectful, so he also got up and saluted back: "Brother Tai's words are serious, but it is a meal, so I should not say thank you, Brother Tai please." ”

The scholar looked at Lu Fei a few times with a smile, and bowed: "I was careless when I went out, lost my money bag, and had a quarrel with someone in this wine house, which is really insulting. ”

Lu Fei heard that he spoke very decently, so he smiled and said: "I said that this little thing is not worth mentioning, what should you be busy with." ”

The scholar said very solemnly: "No, no, the gentleman is not unjust and receives favors from others, and dares to ask his brother Taizun's surname." ”

Lu Fei was also very helpless, how could there be such a more serious person, wasn't it just the cost of a meal of one or three melons and two dates, as for being so calculating, he said casually: "Pingshui meets, why bother asking for a name, brother, please." With that, Lu Fei made a gesture of invitation to the door.

The scholar wanted to speak again, but when he saw that the iron hammer couldn't hold it back, he slapped the table and said, "You guy, why are you so verbose, let you go, you can go, don't disturb our brother's wine." ”

When the scholar saw Tie Hammer's round-eyed expression, he was not humble or arrogant, but said with a gentle smile: "This brother is really straightforward, well, go downstairs to find the store to ask for paper and pencils, and set up a note for a few people, this money can be found at any time to ask for it back, then don't disturb a few Yaxing, say goodbye." ”

After speaking, he retreated with courtesy, Lu Fei just laughed, it is rare to meet such a stubborn person in this era, not to mention, this person does have a bit of a scholarly spirit, and his stubbornness is almost annoying.

A meal of wine until sunset, it can be regarded as a full fun, when out of the restaurant, the second brother in the store chased after him and gave Lu Fei a piece of paper.

Lu Fei took a look, it turned out to be the scholar's note, and explained the inn and room number where he lived, and also said that he would stay in the inn for three more days.

Lu Fei shook the note in front of his brothers, and said with a smile: "Don't look at this person who is ridiculously stubborn, but this word has everyone's demeanor, well, good words, you can't write it without ten years or eight years of work." "Lu Fei is not very good at calligraphy, but this has not eaten pork can you never see a pig run, good-looking calligraphy can always give people a sense of pleasing to the eye, the word is like its person, can write a good word, this person must be outstanding, at least can insist on one thing to practice for ten or eight years, this concentration alone is convincing, but it can also be seen that this person has a good family background.

However, the scholars of this year are not very popular, the five dynasties and ten countries have been in turmoil for decades, which can get ahead which is not from the battlefield with a knife and a gun, these decades, all forces in order to compete for the world is a word of disagreement, the role of the martial arts is to dominate the world, bloody, brutal, this period looks similar to the Warring States period of the great controversy, but in fact, the wars of various countries during the Warring States period are still dominated by the contest between politicians, war is just an extension of politics, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms are completely opposite, Politicians are of little use, the solution to disputes is simple and crude, and violence is the only language that the magnates on all sides can understand.

Several brothers just glanced at the note casually, no one paid attention to it, and they all turned around to lead the horse, but when they got on the horse, they saw that Lu Fei was still looking at the note in a daze.

Lu Fei's eyes were full of joy, and the expression on his face was also extremely joyful, even a little ecstatic.

"Big brother, what's wrong, you really plan to go and ask for this food money back, I can't go, I can't afford to lose this person." Iron hammered on the horse and laughed.

Lu Fei ran over excitedly, grabbed Cao Keming, who was about to get on the horse, pointed to the payment under the note, and said eagerly: "This, have you heard of this person?" ”

Cao Keming frowned and looked at it, shook his head and said casually: "Huazhou student Kou Zhun? I haven't heard of it, isn't he just a scholar, and my eldest brother knows about him? ”

Lu Fei knows too well, the famous generation of famous Kou Zhun, Kou Laoxi is too famous, but at this time he may not be well-known, and his age is only eighteen or nineteen years old, if I remember correctly, Kou Zhun was nineteen years old when he was admitted to the Jinshi, and then he made steady progress all the way, and a lot of dazzling halos shook people dizzy, cows.

Lu Fei's strange actions and the other four brothers were stunned, Luo Cheng patted Zhang Jiang beside him and said, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with the eldest brother?" ”

Zhang Jiang looked ignorant, grinned an incredible smile, and muttered: "This Kou Zhun is a long-lost brother of the eldest brother's family." ”

Lu Fei didn't talk to them in detail, and asked a passerby on the street: "May I ask where is this Mochizuki Inn?" ”

The passer-by pointed to the west: "Turn east at the intersection and cross the Shanyang Bridge." ”

Lu Fei didn't even have time to say thank you, jumped on the horse and whipped away, startling pedestrians on the road to avoid it.

Iron Hammer opened his mouth and muttered, "What, what's the situation?" Do you really want to pay the account? Thirty dollars is also worth running and lying down? ”

"Don't be stunned, chase after the eldest brother."
