"The military envoy, Fang Irong and Yan Yumeng have arrived."

Chen Da led the two people who returned from Macheng into a small courtyard of the Huangzhou Defense Envoy Si Xingyuan. Like all the yamen in the world, the Huangzhou Prefecture is divided into two parts, the front is the Zhizhou Hall and the office of the Defense Mission, and the back is the back garden where Wang Daosi and his family live.

It is not accurate to say that it is a garden, the Jurchen West Route Army crossed the river from Zhangjia in Huangzhou after the completion of the Yanchang Army, and the scourge here has been completely wiped out. Like the rest of the city, it was in ruins, with several houses crumbling and the remnants showing signs of fire.

As for the seedlings in the garden, they have already been plucked out by the Jin army. I heard that after the Jin people entered the state government, because they couldn't recognize the goldfish in the fish pond, they all fished them up and cooked a pot of fish soup. The water in the lotus pond was also released, and the lotus root was also dug up and eaten.

Burning the qin and boiling the crane refers to the situation in front of you, Su Shi's "I came to Huangzhou, and I have passed three cold foods." "The east of the river goes to the waves, and the people of the ages are romantic." Huangzhou, where "the mountains are high and the moon is small, and the water falls", has become like this, which makes people sad and indignant, and unwilling.

"Chen Da, go down." There was a clear voice, not in a hurry.

Today the sun is shining, and the spring breeze is blowing with warmth.

At noon, just after entering the back garden, Fang and Yan's eyes happened to be illuminated by the sun, and it took a long time to recover their eyesight. When I looked closely, I saw that on the edge of the abandoned lotus pond that was already overgrown with grass, there was a shirtless young man who was hooking the instep of his feet on a wooden pole tied between two big trees, his body hanging in the air, holding his head with both hands, and constantly bending his body upward, which was the sit-ups used by the sergeants to boil up his strength.

Unlike the soldiers who usually trained, this person moved quickly, and in an instant, he sat up dozens of times.

He was as swift and nimble as a spring in his body, and the air was full of his huo figure.

This person is the defense envoy of Huangzhou, Wang Shen and Wang Daosi, the commander of the Sizhou army.

In the past, the two of them each talked to Wang Shen once, for a short time, and then they were sent by him to Du Shu to work. At that time, Wang Shen was a Confucian roe deer, gentle and elegant, more like a scholar than a general commanding thousands of troops.

Today, I saw his body rising and falling rapidly, and his slightly bronzed body was full of scars from knives and arrows. There were at least twenty or thirty scars, large and small, and they were tense, opened, and then tensed again with the strong muscles on their bodies, like cold eyes, which made people tremble in their hearts.

It felt like a tiger in front of you that was pounced on like you, and the cold hairs all over my body stood up.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Shen on the wooden bar suddenly turned over and jumped down, and the crystal sweat on his body rolled down the satin-like skin.

"Father, please change your clothes." Qin Sizhao handed over a linen shirt.

When Wang Shen got dressed, the momentum on his body subsided, and he returned to the gentle appearance he had when they met last time.

Fang and Yan both subconsciously let out a long breath, this feeling is very strange today, how to say it, it is like seeing a steel knife that has just come out of its sheath and flashes with cold light.

At this time, he is like a tiger who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield of Jianghuai!

It's just that because there was no war some time ago, Wang Daosi reined in his edge. Now, the entire territory of Qizhou and the fall of Macheng have completely angered him, and the steel knife is out of the sheath.

"My subordinates have seen the military envoys." Both of them stepped forward at the same time to bow down.

After staying up for half a day, the sweat on Wang Shen's body was still oozing, and he soaked the thin linen shirt on his body in a moment. But his breathing was unusually steady and long.

"Get up, sit down and talk." He pointed to the long stone bench next to him: "Fang Irong, I heard that you used to be a student of Nanjing Yingtianfu." I see you look thin and small, and you have no power to restrain the chicken. But I don't want to be able to slash two thieves and capture one of them, but I have learned martial arts before? ”

"If you return to the military envoy, although Xiaosheng was born thin, because of his poor family, he has been farming in the fields since he was a child, and he has some strength, but he has never learned martial arts."

"Haven't studied martial arts? That's strange, as far as I know, most of Kong Yanzhou's soldiers are from Hebei, and later joined many Western Army sergeants who were exiled to Tokyo, and after Zong Rulin's training, the combat effectiveness is quite good. This time, there are ten people in the thief army, how can they be beaten by you, a scholar? Wang Shen's face was full of curiosity.

Fang Irong was a little embarrassed, and said: "Envoy to the army, that day I walked on the road with Brother Yan for two days, and was stared at by that group of thieves for a long time, Xiao Sheng didn't know why, the anger in his heart surged up, and he rushed forward with his weapon. After killing the two in one go, the thief was frightened and scattered with a bang. At that time, the subordinates were only angry and couldn't think about it so much. When I came down, I felt like a dream. ”

"Anger makes people brave, interesting, interesting." Wang Shen couldn't help laughing.

Fang Irong: "It's not that Xiaosheng is excellent in martial arts, and it's not that the thief army can't fight, it's really that the Confucius Department used to be my Great Song sergeant." Now I am a rogue, turn my knife and gun at the people of my Great Song Dynasty, although the thief is extremely vicious, but his heart is empty. As long as I killed two of them, they naturally had no will to fight, and they immediately dispersed. ”

Wang Shen nodded: "Well, there is some truth in that, you can tell me about the news that you have been investigating in Macheng in the past two days." ”

At that moment, Fang Irong cleared his throat and told in detail what he and Yan Yumeng had seen and heard in the northern area of Huangzhou in the past two days.

Wang Shen listened attentively, interrupting his words from time to time, and asked him to repeat what he had just said from the beginning.

After a long time, after Fang Irong finished speaking, Wang Shen said with a straight face: "Hard work, by the way, Fang Irong, if you let you experience that situation again, are you still sure to kill the thief army?" ”

Fang Irong nodded: "Actually, this battle is not a big deal, and my subordinates have also pondered it after coming down, and this battlefield fight is just like that, don't think about it, just rush forward." ”

"Well said, life and death fight, don't think about anything. However, the most important point is to follow the orders of the officers and strictly follow the orders of the officers. Wang Shen smiled and looked at Fang Wurong: "Can you ride a horse?" ”

"Scholars travel the world to study, and they can naturally ride."

Wang Shen: "That's good, there is still a shortage of people in the white army I personally led, are you willing to go?" Of course, you are a scholar, and if you don't want to join the army, you won't be in front of you. ”

"How unwilling? It is the long-cherished wish of my generation to serve the country and the nation. If scholars can't join the army, how can they come to Ban Dingyuan to pacify the Western Regions, and Wang Xuance will destroy a country by himself? What's the use of reading as many books as you do? ”

"Well said!" Wang Shen nodded, and shouted to the boy next to him: "Si Zhao, I will go to General Guo Ya of the White Army, isn't he missing a Marquis Yu, I will make up for him today." ”

With that, he waved his hand and motioned for the two to stand down.

Hearing that Fang Wurong was going to take the position of Marquis of Duyu, Yan Yuemeng's eyes turned red with envy.

That's right, it's not good to say that a scholar goes to be a soldier. But what is Tabai, it is a pro-army led by the defense envoy, dangling in front of General Wang all day long, and the opportunities for promotion are also many ordinary people. Moreover, the treatment of the white cavalry is excellent, and the military salary is enough to feed the family.

Fang Irong is promoted, who told people to behead two levels, capture one person, and make a great contribution?

Yan Yuemeng was anxious in his heart, he also knew that the opportunity to meet Wang Shen today was rare, if he couldn't grasp it well, he was afraid that he would not see him again in the future.

It can be seen that Wang Daosi likes warriors, how can I be a weak scholar to get into his eyes?

For a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his heart. Suddenly, he remembered the situation in Zhangjiawa that day, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

So, Yan Yuemeng immediately took out the IOU from his arms that he hadn't had time to return to the state government and handed it over: "The military envoy looks at this thing." ”

Seeing the IOU in his hand, Wang Shen wondered in his heart: "What's the matter?" ”

Not only him, but even Fang Irong, who was about to retreat, stopped in surprise and turned his head to look over.

A general like Wang Daosi is busy with affairs and does not have much time. Yan Yue Meng didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "As far as my subordinates know, the army of Confucian thieves is coming, with a total strength of an astonishing 30,000, and they are all veterans on the battlefield, and they have a certain combat power. However, it is still far from my Sizhou army. No matter how much the Confucian thieves can fight, it is difficult to be stronger than the Jurchens and Khitans. However, in the past few days, our army has abandoned many county towns in Qi and Huang and taken a defensive position. It's not that you can't, but you don't want to, it's about the lack of food in the army and the inability to fight in the field. Subordinates dare to ask, how many days of food and grass are left in the army? ”

Hearing this, Wang Shen's eyes flashed, as if a knife had stabbed him, and he looked at Yan Yumeng so awe-inspiringly, but he didn't speak.

Yan said that Meng was small, and he only felt that the cold hairs on his body stood up. He forcibly restrained his mind and said: "The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, my Sizhou army has 5,000 men and horses, stationed in various places, and the Israeli army may be supported in front of it." But if they gather together, they don't have so much provisions. If we really want to fight, we don't wait for the thieves to attack, we have to disperse first. Military envoy, I don't know if my subordinates are right? ”

"You can see it." Wang Shen's face softened: "Actually, this matter can't be hidden from Kong Yanzhou, he chose to attack at this time when he is not in charge, obviously he has been planning for a long time." Soldiers, the land of death and life, the way of survival, cannot be careless. This is also the reason why a certain person has been holding back, in fact, the food and straw in the army are only enough for ten days. Yan Meng, when you talk about this in front of someone, you must have already asserted it. If you can gather enough food, if our army can wipe out the thieves in the future, you should be the first to take the lead. ”

Hearing this, Yan said that the opportunity that Meng had been waiting for for a long time had come, and said: "It is easy to get grain, it is nothing more than borrowing and levying two methods. As he spoke, he presented the IOU and said, "You can use this IOU to collect taxes from the people in advance for this year's summer and autumn." ”
