It was night, Lu Fei didn't delay at all, he just looked at the brothers in the barracks, he really couldn't be as unfazed as Dane, looking at the faces in the barracks in front of him who were just familiar and about to disappear, Lu Fei's face was gloomy, and when someone asked, he had to deduce that he was going to transfer away, and he was reluctant to brothers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Calling the four brothers, Lu Fei said goodbye to everyone, and said that he would invite everyone to have a drink after returning to Beijing after the war in the future.

'If the boss is lost, the guards will be killed!' ’

These words really made Lu Fei afraid for a while, a hundred people would die with Dane, it was so dangerous, if Dane hadn't transferred himself away in advance, I was afraid that he wouldn't even know that the butcher's knife was on his neck, Dane was right, he couldn't get too close to anyone in the court, and he really didn't know if anyone would have an accident in the future, and it would be too unjust to die like that.

After nightfall, Lu Fei and his four brothers took the roster and seal letter of the First Army from the main book of the army, and then went straight to the barracks of the First Army.

Lu Fei didn't have any contact with him when he took office, Shen Congwen was dead, Lu Fei just went through the motions, and got to know more than a dozen young generals of the First Army one by one, there are a few people Lu Fei knows, how to say that Lu Fei is also a close confidant of Dai Dashuai in the army, and the First Army is a descendant of Dane, and everyone usually greets politely.

The combat strength of the first army in the left chamber is 1,000 people, all of them are infantry troops, divided into five commands, plus about 1,200 logistics personnel, Lu Fei is only a temporary military position, and the official family has to personally order the official to appoint it, whether this position can sit firmly is still two words, but in Lu Fei's opinion, the problem is not big, not to mention the lack of soldiers in the forbidden army, even the lack of officers, take him as an example of the first army, in addition to the commander of the army, there should be a commander below, Du Yu Hou, Yu Hou, if the first army is compared to a regiment, That is to say, this regiment only has a regiment commander, no deputy regiment commander, no political commissar or regimental staff officer, the regiment commander has all the positions, not that the imperial court does not send people, it is really no one, it is no wonder, it is no wonder that after years of war, the death rate of generals at the army level and below is the highest, and there is no time to replenish it, and many of them died in battle just after taking office.

Another reason for the lack of generals is also caused by the imperial court, for example, Dane originally served as the commander of the first army and the commander of the second, third and fourth armies, but in fact, Dane was only nominally concurrently in name and did not hold real power, he ordered the remaining three armies not to move, and the real military power belonged to the emperor.

To give a very straightforward example, there are three regiments under the division commander, and one of the regiment commanders is not appointed, and the other regiment commander temporarily serves as the commander, and this regiment has virtually become a regiment directly under the division commander, which is more conducive to the concentration of military power.

Lu Fei didn't stay in the army for a long time, the night before the war was always difficult, he wanted to see if he didn't hide the black clouds, in fact, she was the most difficult, the Great Song Dynasty started a war with the party, and no matter how she chose a side, it didn't end well.

When he came to the outside of the house where the black clouds were not hidden, the lights inside had already stopped, and there were four guards standing outside, Lu Fei did not go in, just leaned against the wall quietly, looking up at the starry sky, everything in this era is far beyond his imagination, if he wants to really gain a foothold in this era, his own strength seems very pale, this is not the Great Song Dynasty in Chinese history, historical knowledge does not play a role here.

Lu Fei felt that he was very much like the white lady who was left behind, one was crawling on the rivers and lakes, the other was struggling in the court, he had to be careful everywhere, and the other was not even a disaster.

Dane, what a scene, the emperor said a word, he could only die obediently, there was no room for even a little resistance, hundreds of people were buried together, in front of the imperial power, no matter how high the official position was, he seemed to understand why the white lady could not turn back, how could he not, once he gave up this only power, waiting for himself was only a dead end, many things as long as the first step was taken, there was no room to turn back, either die in the middle of the road, or grit his teeth and persevere, no one knows where the end is.

After dawn, the whole city was in a commotion, 70,000 troops drove out of the city one after another, and the soldiers were high-spirited, which is true, the army has been nesting in the city for more than a month, and it has long been impatient, who doesn't want to go home early after the battle.

Lu Fei and Zhou Xian, the governor of Yanzhou, raised their eyes on the city tower to see each other, looking at the team full of flags, Lu Fei actually wanted to join in and give Dai Dashuai a ride.

The biggest pain in life is not to have nothing, but to have had and then returned to nothing, and after fighting for most of his life, he turned his head in a blink of an eye, and he didn't know what would happen to Dane's family in this change, and he didn't know if he would end up with him in the future.

Outside the city, the sun reflected the dazzling light of the snow, and the army disappeared without a trace.

Lu Fei stood at the head of the city for a long time and didn't go, he really didn't want Dane to die, this helpless pain was squeezing his heart again and again, in the cold wind, the clothes and armor were cold, the battle knives were cold to the bone, and the battle flags on the city tower were frozen motionless, only his heart was still boiling like fire, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the hard ice pick on the battlement, and held it tightly in his hand, water droplets dripped down from the cracks in his fist, and Dane disappeared forever, like ice, disappeared in front of his eyes.

The army outside the city could no longer see the shadow, only leaving a long list of footprints on the snow, Zhou Xian, the governor of Yanzhou, shook his somewhat stiff neck, came to Lu Fei's side, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Lu for his ascension, the city tower is windy, please return to the ya, I have ordered someone to prepare wine and food, drink a few arms to warm up." ”

Lu Fei slowly turned his head and glanced at him, "It is forbidden in the army, the troops defending the city are strictly forbidden to drink, Zhou Zhizhou, from now on, the Yanzhou garrison will be under my command, let everyone take turns to go up the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking." ”

Zhou Xian smiled: "General Lu's military discipline is strict, and Dai Dashuai is really knowledgeable, from today on, Zhou will work with you to guard Yanzhou City, so that the army will not have any worries." ”

Lu Fei said with a smile: "The matter within the scope of duty, it should be like this, Zhou Zhizhou, may I ask if there are any high-ranking hermits in this Yanzhou City." ”

Dane's matter stimulated Lu Fei more and more, he couldn't fight alone, he had to find a group of reliable people for himself, Zhang Jiang and Luo Cheng were martial artists, they didn't have any brains, and they wanted to find the kind of capable people who could govern the country and secure the country like Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "General, aren't you just one?" ”

Lu Fei smiled bitterly: "It's just a martial artist, I am in charge of the army for the first time, everything is unknown, and the marching formation is rarely involved, I am really afraid that I will live up to the trust of Dai Dashuai." ”

Zhou Xian showed the steps of the city tower with his hand, and said as he walked: "General, please, go back to the Ya and talk slowly, such as today's early peace, the imperial court is determined to get rid of the bad habits of the previous dynasty, and there is a great tendency to promote literature, and there are even poems in the market: everything is inferior, only reading is high." Even if there are capable people and strangers, they all gather in the capital to seek fame, and once the dragon and tiger list, the scholars finally have a bright day. ”

After getting off the city tower, Lu Fei was about to get on the horse, looked back at Zhou Xian, and said with a smile: "Zhou Zhizhou looks down on us generals." ”

Zhou Xian hurriedly smiled and said: "How dare you, the succession of civil and military affairs can make my dynasty stable for a long time." ”

Lu Fei got on the horse and said: "Zhou Zhizhou, you and I were ordered to guard Yanzhou, and the total number of troops is only six thousand. ”

Zhou Xian arched his hand and said: "What General Lu said is very true, I will send someone to do it, General, where are you going?" ”

Lu Fei raised his horsewhip, "Look at the city defense." ”

**

Bianliang, the imperial city, the Chongzheng Palace.

The capital is also covered with snow, today is the 15th Lantern Festival of the first month, which is the first court meeting in three years of Taiping Xingguo.

Qunchen Mountain called long live and gave Zhao Jiong a congratulatory table one by one, the new year and new atmosphere, where there is something auspicious, which ushered in the snow of the great harvest year, all this, it seems that the Great Song Kingdom has no serious state affairs.

After a while, the envoys of various countries came to the palace one after another, and there were Goryeo, Liao, Shu, Dali, Tubo, and Dangxiang (Li Jizhu, who did not rebel against the Song Dynasty, and the brother of the rebel Li Jiqian), today these envoys came to resign to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, stayed in Bianliang for a month, and congratulated the New Year of the Great Song Dynasty is also the rule left by the previous dynasties, Zhao Jiong is also generous, so that the Ministry of Rites has prepared a large number of gifts for these envoys to bring back.

Especially the envoys of Shu, last year, the lord of Shu Meng Renzan died, the new lord Meng Xuanzhe succeeded to the throne, and Zhao Jiong, who asked for permission to succeed to the throne, also agreed, and named Meng Xuanzhe as the king of Shu, and the commander-in-chief of the Shu military, government and people's livelihood, etc., in short, it is a big seal and a special seal, anyway, the holy decree does not need money, and the land of Shu is not returned to the Great Song Dynasty.

After the completion of the court, Song Tianzi gave a banquet in the palace, and said that after the banquet was over, the Son of Heaven would have fun with the people, and go out of the palace to enjoy the Lantern Festival in Bianliang City.

Taking advantage of the fact that the banquet of the hundred officials was in full swing, Zhao Jiong left the table halfway, and asked the chamberlain to summon a few Zaizhi over.

A pair of rugged thick eyebrows were tightly closed, and Zhao Jiong, who was slightly drunk, was leaning on the side of the dragon case, and the two palace maids on the side were waiting carefully, beating their shoulders and pinching their backs.

After a while, the three governors entered at the same time, including the privy envoy Cao Bin, the governor Xue Juzheng, and the other person who had just been transferred to the political affairs hall to participate in the political affairs Lu Duan, Zhao Jiong opened his eyes slightly, straightened his body and waved to the palace maid on the side.

Zhao Jiong said: "Cao Bin, how is the war in the northwest?" ”

Cao Bin bent his waist and said: "The latest military situation, Dane has attacked on all fronts seven days ago, and went straight to Longzhou, no accident, the battle report will arrive within three or five days!" ”

Zhao Jiong nodded slightly, the main force of the forbidden army poured out, Li Jiqian's defeat was inevitable, but Zhao Jiong didn't want Li Jiqian to die, the party couldn't have no leader, and the purpose of the Western Expedition was only to convince people by force.

Zhao Jiong looked at Xue Juzheng and said: "Xue Xiang, before the war, you had advocated appeasement, but now the war is about to end, it is difficult to turn away from the grain and grass, and nearly 100,000 soldiers cannot be stationed at the border for a long time. ”

Xue Juzheng had long known that this would be the result, the war could not be fought for a lifetime, and the party members could not be killed, and in the end they would have to fall to the top of the negotiation, but the benefits of the negotiation and peace would be greater if they were won.

Xue Juzheng took out a book of music from his arms, held it high above the top and said: "Start the official family, the minister has prepared three strategies to appease the official, please ask the official family to take a look." ”

Wang Jien, the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, was about to go down to get it.

Zhao Jiong laughed: "Xue Qing can always impress me, don't look at it, you say it and listen to me, and the official document will have to wait until the war is over." ”

Xue Juzheng said: "Nuo, official, according to the military report obtained by the Privy Council at present, the following appeasements can be made to the party members, one of which is to let Li Jiqian return to Shun, and my dynasty will crown him as the king of Xingping, and still guard the northwest for the Great Song Dynasty, and my dynasty will set up prefectures and counties in the northwest to collect taxes; Second, do not ask about the first evil, but cut off Li Jiqian's wings, such as the Wuzang clan, Yeli clan and other party clans, and let Li Jiqian contribute 5,000 prime-age laborers to our dynasty every year, and be incorporated into the local government army or engaged in border labor; Third, it is reported that the wife of Li Jiqian's son Li Deming was plundered by the Sixth Ancient Department of the Party, and the official family could choose a daughter to be married to him from within the royal family, and at the same time, let Yanzhou send Li Jiqian's grandson Li Yuanhao to Bianliang as a hostage. ”

Zhao Jiong nodded slightly, these three strategies are feasible, especially with relatives, if the party members can agree, it would be the best, harmony is not a bad thing, the Central Plains Dynasty has been wanting to marry with the surrounding aliens over the years, why is the other party not allowed, and they all want to marry their daughters to Bianliang, how can this be agreed.

If you let the daughter of a different race marry into the Central Plains, in the future, if the son she gives birth to becomes the emperor of the Central Plains, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This is where the benefits and disadvantages of the relatives come in.

Zhao Jiong said: "Xue Xiang is attentive, but will they accept Li Jiqian as the king of Xingping?" The Liao State has already named him the King of Xia. ”

Xue Juzheng smiled and said: "For the alliance under the city, Li Jiqian has no reason to refute such preferential conditions, let alone qualifications, he will agree." ”

Zhao Jiong nodded, and said, "Lu Duan!" ”

"The minister is here!" Xue Juzheng, the governor of the political affairs, stepped forward and handed over his hand.

Zhao Jiong said: "As soon as the war in the northwest is over, you will immediately set off for the past, the above three strategies are approved, the details of the place will be discussed in your political affairs hall, I will add a little, Jin Li Jiqian is the king of Xingping, give the country the surname Zhao, give the name to protect loyalty, seal the difficult army festival envoy, let it guard the northwest for generations, and can no longer be reversed." ”

"Yes!"

The privy envoy Cao Bin said again: "Dai En's request, the daughter of the Wuzang clan is now imprisoned in Yanzhou, and General Dai asks how to deal with it." ”

Zhao Jiong said: "It's the fiancée who didn't hesitate to fight with my Great Song Dynasty, Xue Xiang, what do you say." ”

Obviously, Zhao Jiong also heard that the beauty of the grassland did not hide the beautiful name of the black cloud, how could he let it go, just seal a lady, arrange it on the edge of the palace, and be on call, of course, this cannot be said by the emperor himself, because Lu Fei has already made a big splash about this matter in Yanzhou City, and the rumors have already spread to Bianliang, and everyone in the market knows that a general surnamed Lu in the Great Song Dynasty snatched her out of the party army with his own hands, and there are many deeds of wind and snow.

Xue Juzheng said: "The minister thought that he could use this to further appease the party members, although 'robbing relatives' in my Central Plains is a bad habit, but it is an old gift on the grassland, the Great Song Dynasty is strong, the prestige is far-reaching, and the mind of the official family is even more inclusive. ”

Zhao Jiong nodded frequently, no matter how beautiful the woman was, she was insignificant compared to appeasing the northwest: "Okay, what Xue Xiang said is very true, according to the right, what is the current position of the person surnamed Lu?" ”

Lu Fei entered the enemy camp alone, destroyed the alliance between the party and the Liao State, recaptured Heiyun and Li Yuanhao, and provoked Yeli Yu beggar dog to jump over the wall to seek a decisive battle, which is a great achievement, just because Lu Fei has no background and backer, and the war has not ended, the matter of this reward has been shelved.

So much so that where Lu Fei is serving now, the three rulers in the palace don't know.

Wang Jien, the chamberlain on the side, stepped forward and whispered: "Back to the official's house, this person's name is Lu Fei, the Imperial City Division secretly reported the day before yesterday, and Shen Congwen, the commander of the first army of the Japanese army, was sentenced for violating military law, and Dane promoted Lu Fei to take over. ”

The Imperial City Division is equivalent to the private detective organization of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, which is a copy of the Daming Jinyi Guard, with a separate secret reporting system, and the messengers who travel are the fastest six hundred miles of expedited documents, which is faster than the expedited documents on the border.

Zhao Jiong's face was displeased, Dane is really desperate, such a big thing is actually cut first and then played, and it is not your turn to make a wish.

Zhao Jiong said: "Xue Juzheng, the proposed purpose, to seal Lu Fei as the history of Lizhou Thorn, to award the commander of the first army of the Japanese army, give five hundred taels of gold, 100 horses of brocade, respect the customs of the party, and let him marry the black cloud without hiding." ”

After several governors left, Zhao Jiong asked Wang Jien: "Has the Imperial City Division found out the details of Lu Fei?" ”

Wang Jien said carefully: "I checked, he came from Jiangnan four months ago, wandered in Anjufang, and was recommended by Dane to stay by his side as the head of a personal soldier." ”

Zhao Jiong snorted: "It's a white ding? ”

"Perhaps, the slave maid has sent someone to inquire in Anjufang, this person is a martial artist, after coming to Bianliang, he lived in a veteran's house, and had a hot fight with a widow in Anjufang, and the slave maid also checked the widow, who was a palace maid in the original Southern Tang Palace, this Lu Fei may have come from the Southern Tang Dynasty, I heard the people in Anjufang say that this Lu Fei and Dane have fought each other, and he is by no means an ordinary person in terms of martial arts, and he may have served in the Southern Tang Army."

Zhao Jiong nodded: "This is not unusual, after the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, more than 100,000 Tang troops died and fled, and most of them were submissive, have you found out the relationship between him and Dane?" ”

Wang Jien said: "No, these two people didn't know each other at all four months ago, this slave has already inquired clearly, this Lu Fei seems to have some holidays with Shi Fei." ”

Zhao Jiong raised his eyebrows, "Really?" That's good, it's a brave and unscrupulous person, forget it, don't care about him, pass on the decree, I want to go to the Suzaku Gate to watch the lanterns and have fun with the people. ”

"Yes!"
