In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is the big summer, outside the city of Jianzhou in Liaoyang, Liaodong, Qianmo is deep, an ordinary small village with no ordinary oil, small villages have landscapes and pastorals, and the crops in the field have grown waist-deep.

At a glance, it was green and green, and in it, an old white-haired "farmer" was weeding in the field, he waved his hoe, and there were several "farmers" around him who were helping to weed.

It seems that many people have forgotten their existence, as if forgotten, quietly cultivating in the black soil of Liaodong, and under the scorching sun, the old farmer is already dripping with sweat, and the coarse cloth clothes behind his back are already soaked, he panted roughly, took off the straw hat on his head and fanned the wind, at the same time, his eyes looked at the grave that was cleaned up in the distance from time to time, a little sad, a trace of guilt, but there was also a trace of happiness in his heart.

"My lord, take a break." The people around him tried extremely hard to persuade, and hurriedly ran over and snatched the hoe from his hand, "Lord, now the two sons are in Shangjing, helping Changchun Hall to do things, if one day, my Dajin can make a comeback, with the noble body of the lord, do you still need to dry pickle what the people do." ”

"Little stone, I know that you are for my good, the Jin Kingdom is just the dust of the past, why do you need to mention it again, since my son is working under Changchun Hall, he should be conscientious, and don't mention the great cause of recovering the country in the future." The ups and downs of life have made the old man see many things clearly, he is not suitable to be a ruler, when Kaifeng was in the first war, the Liao people invaded Kaifeng, burned and looted in Kaifeng...... The old man and the old man's family became prisoners of the Liao State, and his concubines and daughters became the pets of the crotch of the Liao nobles, and died tragically in their hands, so for the Liao people, the old man has hidden hatred in his heart, but for the great cause of recovering the country, he saw it, he almost died of an illness last year, but fortunately someone came to the rescue.

"Yes...... Lord. A middle-aged man who was called a small stone lowered his head and went to his own business again.

——

"Stop-" At this time, a pair of black-clothed and black-armored cavalrymen came from outside the manor, about twenty people, and the leader was Yang Zan. The guards of the entire manor are the people of Changchun Hall, since Changchun Hall accidentally found the descendants of the Jin Dynasty in Liaoyang Jianzhou, Yang Meng sent Changchun Hall people to contact these people, Yang Meng was also a prince of the dead country, he secretly developed the power of Changchun Hall for the sake of the great cause of restoring the country, but later met Zhao Dezhao, Yang Meng handed over his life's work to Zhao Dezhao, and later told him a secret.

Zhao Dezhao didn't expect that the old man in the manor outside Jianzhou City was actually the emperor of the Jin Dynasty Shi Chonggui, Zhao Dezhao was naturally no stranger to Shi Chonggui, Shi Chonggui was an emperor with average ability, but he had a backbone, he dared to start a war with the Khitan, but unfortunately there was no one available around him. In history, after Shi Chonggui died in the country, he was secluded by the Liao Emperor to Liaodong, and his whereabouts have become a secret since then, and only the parties remember the past, and what they said about the great cause of recovering the country is to revive the Jin Dynasty.

Yang Zan had already entered the manor, and when he saw the old man, that is, Shi Chonggui, Shi Chonggui's eyes looked grateful, and he arched his hand and said: "Thank you Deputy Commander Yang for saving your life, if it weren't for you, the old decay would have become a dry bone in the grave." ”

Yang Zan didn't know what to call this old man, Yang Zan's brother's father was also an official in the Jin Dynasty, this person was the "Your Majesty" in his father's mouth back then, he struggled for a while, and finally called it so, "Shi ...... Shi Lao. ”

Shi Chonggui smiled helplessly: "The past is like a cloud of smoke, don't mention it." ”

Then he seemed to remember something, and continued: "By the way, Deputy Commander Yang came this time, is there anything big happening. ”

Yang Zandao: "Last month, Yin Niji defeated Yelu Jing's army again, it was like stabbing a pair of scissors in Ye Lu Jing's chest, making him unable to move, presumably this is also what Shi Lao expected." ”

Shi Chonggui listened to Yang Zan's words, could he see a smile on his face that had experienced vicissitudes, but the next moment, he said: "I don't know what Deputy Commander Yang has to do with this coming?" ”

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, naturally you have something important to discuss, I have here a letter written by the young master when he came, I believe that after Shi Lao reads it, he will understand who you want to cooperate with." After Yang Zan finished speaking, he immediately took out the letter from his pocket and showed it to Shi Chonggui.

Shi Chonggui heard Yang Zan's words, and immediately took the letter and read it...... Shi Chonggui was very surprised, it turned out that the young master of Changchun Hall was the Wei King Chitose of the Song Kingdom, and his two sons were also working in Changchun Hall, Changchun Hall was known as the largest force in the world, so it was very easy for King Wei to pinch an ant to death if he had this terrifying power...... He raised his head to look at Yang Zan's face, his eyes full of fear.

Shi Zhonggui let out a long sigh.

Yang Zandao: "Now Shi Lao knows the identity of the young master!" ”

Shi Chonggui collected the letter, and then handed it back to Yang Zan, and then Yang Zan asked him: "As long as the two sons do their best to do things for my Changchun Hall, in the future, the glory and wealth of the two sons and Shi Lao, I Changchun Hall will guarantee it." Shi Lao can have cronies around him, and he can bring this letter to the two sons, hoping that the two sons will do things in a down-to-earth manner, and don't have other thoughts. ”

When Yang Zan said these last few words, he stressed the pronunciation.

Shi Chonggui understood what Yang Zan said, since King Chitose of Wei had revealed his identity, of course, it was not because he wanted to kill them all, but because he regarded them as an alliance of interests, not to mention that he vaguely felt that King Chitose of Wei in the Song Kingdom today was not a simple young man, if he went against him, he and his son had already had a few old subordinates, and they would not get any good fruit to eat.

Shi Chonggui hurriedly went to the door at the moment, and called a burly man outside the door in, Yang Zan's eyes saw a man come in, he saw that this person was powerful, and at first glance he was a person who practiced martial arts.

"The little Murong Fushou has seen the lord, but I don't know what the lord has to tell the little one." Murong Fushou arched his hand.

"How are the two sons of Shangjing?" Shi Chonggui asked.

Murong Fushou said: "The lord is safe, the two sons are all right." ”

"Deputy Commander Yang has a letter here, you go to Beijing quickly, remember to give the letter to the two sons, there must be no loss."

"Yes." Murong Fushou took the letter from Yang Zan's hand and immediately went out.

Yang Zan explained a lot of things to Shi Chonggui, although Shi Chonggui is not very important to Changchun Tang, but there is also some use value, although the Shi brothers are working under Changchun Tang, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not betray Changchun Hall because of their status as the prince and prince, today's letter is also to warn the Shi family brothers, Changchun Hall knows their details, and who the young master of Changchun Hall is to inform them through letters, and I also hope that they will spy on every move in Liao for Changchun Hall.

Yang Zan looked thoughtful when he saw Shi Chonggui, since he knew the identity of the young master, he must not act rashly.

The two chatted for a while, Shi Chonggui also went from the beginning of the doubts to the last relief, Yang Zan said almost enough, immediately got up to say goodbye, and led the black-clothed and black-armored cavalry under his command towards the north......

……

At this moment in Kaifeng, Zhao Dezhao also recently learned that Yin Niji, the chief of Murwei, with the help of Yang Zan's black clothes and black armor and De Gulle Buus, successfully repelled, defeated and captured the Daliao coach Yariks.

Since Yelu Jing didn't get rid of Murowei, then the Ukubu side must not be able to handle it either...... After Zhao Dezhao heard this, he was also very happy in his heart, it seemed that after his agitation, the northern grassland became more and more unstable, Zhao Dezhao felt that the alliance on the grassland was not very stable, and he could only use salt and iron to meet the needs of some tribes. As the saying goes: there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Driven by profits, Zhao Dezhao believes that other tribes on the grassland will also be used by him.

Of course, this is just a small means, the Great Song Dynasty lacks horses, basically relying on the northwest through the field and private trading, but it is still far from enough, Zhao Dezhao also hopes to buy some horses from those tribal chiefs, chiefs, and khans, and wait for them on his own side, such as some grain, backward weapons and equipment, and pig iron.

At the same time, in the territory of Da Liao, there are also some precious medicinal materials in the Sheng Jurchen and other tribes, such as ginseng, deer antler, snow clams, etc., and other sables, etc., at the junction of Goryeo and Da Liao, there is a precious treasure house in Changbai Mountain.

Merchants in the Great Song Dynasty sold some cloth, tea and other commodities to the territory of the Liao State, while merchants sold ginseng, deer antlers, snow clams, sables and other things to the Song Dynasty, traveling thousands of miles to take what they needed.

……

There is another thing, that is, to disclose the intelligence of the Southern Han Kingdom to Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin learned about military secrets through the Privy Council, which mainly manages military secrets and border defense, while the Privy Council is in charge of mapping, military archives and intelligence collection.

The people in the Privy Council also have some operators in various countries, and Zhao Dezhao can secretly approach those people through Changchun Hall and pass on the news to them.

As Zhao Dezhao expected, in just three days, the Privy Council staff knew about the military deployment in the Southern Han Dynasty and immediately reported the matter to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin summoned a cadre of the Privy Council and several other important ministers of the court to the palace to discuss the matter, and the minister thought that the Great Song Dynasty should wait for a year or two before the conquest of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered the Privy Council to disguise himself as a merchant to infiltrate the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty, draw a map, collect military information of the Southern Han Dynasty, and at the same time closely monitor the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, step up the training of soldiers and horses in Hunan, expand the granary, build a cement road, and mobilize Jianghuai grain in the southern border......

On this night, in the Funing Palace, a secret letter appeared on Zhao Kuangyin's desk, which was sent by the secret agent of the Northern Han Dynasty in the Privy Council.

Zhao Kuangyin spread out the letter, and four words were revealed under the letter: Guo Wuweishu.

Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and looked at Jinyang City in the north, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and then he looked at the meaning in the letter, very pleased.
