The next day, it was fine.

As soon as Chu Tianya got up, he heard someone outside the tent ask, "Has the lord ever woken up?" ”

It's Anu's voice.

Chu Tianya's heart moved, although Anu was the commander of his Tiger Ben Guard, he never refused to say a word when he had nothing to do. Since he has come, there must be something important.

So he walked outside, and he didn't have to ask what he already knew - on Anu's arm, stood Hai Dongqing!

Anu didn't speak, and took the letter bag untied from the eagle's feet to Chu Tianya to see.

This letter was written in the "Qingwei Secret Language", from Bai Xu's erudite genius. Except for Chu Tianya, Bai Xu and Qingwei's people, it is impossible for others to understand.

Chu Tianya was sitting on a handsome chair and reading the letter by the fire, and as soon as he finished reading it, he suddenly slapped it on the table, which frightened the people around him.

"What's the big deal?" Xiao Linglong came out of it and asked, her face still showing the flush of last night.

Chu Tianya gave her the letter, she read it, and her face was confused, "It's not a big deal, didn't you just discover the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty along the Yellow River in Hebei?" Maybe the Yellow River froze and the cavalry crossed the border to patrol? ”

"Do you think that the soldiers stationed in the Yellow River will have such a serious and responsible attitude and the courage to cross the river?" Chu Tianya sneered, "Things are unusual, how could the Great Song Dynasty have a garrison in Hebei?" Also, the name of that young officer - Yue Fei! It's actually Yue Fei!! ”

Xiao Linglong was even more confused, "What's wrong with Yue Fei?" I've never heard of it. ”

Chu Tianya was stunned for a moment, and came back to his senses: yes, of course she hadn't heard of it!

"Come on, prepare the horses!" Chu Tianya couldn't help but order, "I'm going to Taiyuan!" ”

"Now?" Xiao Linglong looked puzzled, "Is this news important, why don't I think it?" ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "Actually, I miss the concubine raised in Taiyuan City." How's that, would you like to go with me? ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Xiao Linglong chuckled and went out by herself.

Now she trains with Jiao Wentong every day, and she is very energetic. Since Chu Tianya doesn't need her to be a marksmanship instructor if she wants to go out today, it just so happens that she can concentrate more on her own business.

"Lord, do you want to reply?" Anu asked.

Chu Tianya thought about it for a while, picked up his pen and wrote down a book, only a few simple words, "Return safely!" ”

After letting Hai Dongqing go, Chu Tianya took Liuhe, Xiaofei, and more than 100 tiger cavalry guards led by Anu to go straight to Taiyuan City non-stop.

The Great Song Dynasty has soldiers and horses in Hebei, and this matter can be big or small. Chu Tianya has always paid close attention to the military operations of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhang Xiaochun has been entrusted by him and has been helping to inquire. But for a long time, he had never heard that the Great Song Dynasty had sent garrisons in Hebei.

There used to be three important military towns there: Hejian, Zhending and Zhongshan, and after the battle last year, these three important military towns either fell or ceded to the Jin State. In other words, more than 80 percent of the land east of Taihang and north of the Yellow River has already belonged to the Jin State. Although some of the remaining prefectures and counties were still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, they were undoubtedly like the food of a tiger's mouth, the people fled one after another, and the army withdrew south to garrison the Yellow River.

Who would be so bold as to lead troops to garrison Hebei and act as the first outpost of the Great Song Dynasty?

This is a question that Chu Tianya must figure out. This is related to the military aircraft plan he envisioned in his heart, and of course, there is another reason because of Yue Fei!

According to Suzaku's description, the Yue Fei she saw was still almost a middle- and lower-level cavalry officer. In this kind of weather, he will take soldiers and horses to patrol outside, and he is definitely not a big official. There are not no people with the same name and surname in the world, but the word "Pengju" is the same, plus the age, then ninety percent may really be the famous Yue Wangye!

With such a name that shocks ancient and modern times, the real heroes are right in front of him, and it is difficult for Chu Tianya not to be excited.

Taiyuan arrived, and Chu Tianya went directly into Zhang Xiaochun's Xuanfu Division Yamen without saying a word.

Zhang Xiaochun was a little shocked when he received Chu Tianya, "The general came in person in a hurry, what's the big deal?" ”

"It's not a big deal, but it's important." Chu Tianya said straight to the point, "Let me ask you, does the imperial court have a garrison in Hebei?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaochun was stunned, "I haven't heard of this!" ”

"You don't even know?" Chu Tianya looked suspicious, "So, maybe it's a secret military operation?" "Secret? There is no trivial matter in the military state, although the lower officials are not officials in the imperial court, but this kind of thing should be heard a little bit of rumors. Zhang Xiaochun was also puzzled, "Strange, how did the general know?" ”

"Don't ask." Chu Tianya thought for a while, and suddenly said, "By the way, Yao Chong and Yao Xianggong are now your deputies, and they are stationed in Taiyuan to lead the soldiers and horses, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiaochun nodded, "Although the lower official has the power to lead the Hedong Xuanfu Division, after all, he is a civilian official, and his subordinates must have a general to lead the troops." Yao Jingluo Xianggong was the deputy assigned by the imperial court to the lower officials, and he was appointed as the commander of the Xuanfu Division. ”

It is equivalent to the role of Wang Yu at the beginning.

Chu Tianya nodded, "I want to see him!" ”

Zhang Xiaochun didn't say a word, so he sent someone to invite Yao Chong. In fact, in terms of rank and qualifications, Yao Chong, who was born in a family of the Kansai military and has outstanding military achievements, is far above Zhang Xiaochun. But the Great Song Dynasty is heavy on literature and martial arts, what can be done? No matter how great your Yao Chong's ability is and how high your military achievements are, you have to act under the command of civilian officials. Previously, Xu Han, who was sent by the imperial court to deal with Hedong affairs, brought two Kansai generals, one Yao Chong in one of the seed divisions, both of whom were famous Kansai generals. The roots of the breeder in the court were a little deeper, so he led the troops back and left the circle of right and wrong in Taiyuan; The Yao family couldn't raise their heads in the court because of Yao Pingzhong, who escaped from the camp, and there was no way, if they had to leave a town table, it could only be Yao Chong. Swallowing his anger or being obedient, Yao Chong, the general of the Western Army, stayed in Taiyuan and became Zhang Xiaochun's deputy.

Soon Yao Chong came. Chu Tianya had some contact with him before, but he didn't have a deep friendship. During the battle of Guan Shan and Xiao Cangshan, Chu Tianya let go of Xu Han, Seed Master, Yao Chong and others, so even if Yao Chong, the general of the official army, did not have a special good impression of Chu Tianya, the king of the mountain, he could not be said to hate it.

After the greetings, Chu Tianya cut to the chase, "Yao Dutong, I invited you here today because I have something to ask for." I also asked Yao Dutong to give advice. ”

Yao Chong smiled slightly, "The general is too polite, please say." ”

"Chu just wants to know, did the Great Song Dynasty send a garrison in Hebei?" Chu Tianya asked.

Yao Chong was slightly surprised, "Hebei garrison? Probably not! ”

From a military point of view alone, the Great Song Dynasty really had no reason to do this. The vast majority of the area north of the Yellow River had already belonged to the Jin State, leaving a blank space that was just used as a strategic buffer zone, and then the Great Song Dynasty used the Yellow River as the first line of defense, which was a matter of course.

But the fact is that Suzaku did meet the regular cavalry troops of the Great Song Dynasty there, and the cavalry squad leader was still Yue Fei!

"It's a big deal, I hope Yao Dutong will tell the truth." Chu Tianya Zhengse said, "Chu knows that Yao Dutong was born in a military and martial arts family in Guanxi, and the two Yao families have been in the army for generations. Although Yao Dutong is in Taiyuan, his former officials are all over the world, and there are often correspondence exchanges. Haven't you heard a little bit of the wind? ”

"This ......" Yao Chong hesitated.

Since it is a major military affair that has not been made public, it must be a high degree of military secret. Yao Chong is a person who leads soldiers, how can he not know that "keeping secrets" is the most basic moral bottom line of soldiers?

Chu Tianya suddenly got up, and Zhengse hugged his fist at Yao Chong, "Yao Dutong, it's not difficult for Chu to be strong!" This matter is related to the safety of Ningding and Taiyuan in Hedong, and Yao Dutong must tell the truth! ”

"So strict?" Yao Chong frowned unexpectedly, "What does the matter in Hebei have to do with Taiyuan?" ”

"It's too relevant." Chu Tianya knew that he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, and if he didn't give some rumors to this veteran who was mixed with the elite in the army, he would not tell the truth lightly, so he said, "I can't hide it, I have a bold military idea, that is, to take the initiative." The target is the Hebei city occupied by the Jin State! ”

"Huh?" Yao Chongda was taken aback.

Zhang Xiaochun was drinking tea, and he choked on a sip of tea, and then hurriedly said, "The lower official is out of shape, the lower official is out of shape!" ”

"Can Yao Dutong speak?" Chu Tianya looked at him very seriously.

Yao Chong naturally understands this bit of human sophistication, people even tell you about the most top-secret military plan, even if they don't treat you as an outsider, can you still hide it?

"Okay...... This is actually a head-off thing, but Yao Mou can trust the general as a person! Yao Chong looked around and didn't have any idle eyeliner, so he leaned in front of Chu Tianya and whispered, "Yao Mou also heard from a colleague and friend who came with Eunuch Cao last time, and he inadvertently talked about it in front of the emperor. He said that the official family sent a secret order with Lamaru to ask King Kang Zhao Gou to secretly gather soldiers and horses in Xiangzhou, Hebei, in order to monitor every move of the Jin State and wait for an opportunity. ”

"King Kang, Zhao Gou?" Chu Tianya's heart moved: Isn't it the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong, who continued the national Zuo after the Great Song Dynasty crossed to the south in history? Xiangzhou, Hebei, is a small state sandwiched between the two big military towns of Hejian and Zhending. The official family sent King Kang, a trusted brother, to garrison there, apparently to drive a nail into the passage to the south of the Jurchens. Then, if there is any problem in Tokyo, Sangshu can also come back to help.

Chu Tianya couldn't remember whether the Great Song Dynasty in history did this, and whether it was because of such actions that King Kang Zhao Gou did not die in the Jingkang Revolution like his other brothers. But for now, it seems that it makes far more sense to divide a group of men from Tokyo and nail them forward than to leave a blank field as a pure strategic buffer.

It's like a mansion, with not only a gate and a cat's eye, but also surveillance cameras and security guards in the yard.

This move of the imperial court is not very subtle, but it is indeed not stupid.

But Chu Tianya has a big head.

Where did the Great Song Dynasty engage in any top-secret military operations, it was not difficult to hide from its own people; But the Jin Kingdom is always watching every move of the Southern Dynasty and is ready to invade the south at any time, they also have spies and scouts, and the Xiangzhou garrison is a piece of big living people, can't they see it?

In other words, King Kang Zhao Gou has a garrison in Xiangzhou, which is already a surprise and an exposure target. If Chu Tianya wants to carry out any surprise attack from here, it will be very difficult.

However, it's not that you can't take advantage of it. If Zhao Gou was willing to cooperate with Chu Tianya, he would attract the attention of the Jin Kingdom there, and Chu Tianya would send another brigade of strange soldiers to make a surprise move, which would turn the disadvantages into advantages.

But the premise is that Zhao Gou is willing.

Listening to Yao Chong's words, Chu Tianya scratched his head and was anxious. Zhang Xiaochun and Yao Chong were stunned.

After all, Yao Chong is also the one who leads the troops, and after careful consideration, he roughly guessed Chu Tianya's thoughts, and said cautiously: "If the general wants to use Dao Xiangzhou to send troops to make a surprise attack, Yao can recommend it on his behalf." ”

Chu Tianya was slightly happy in his heart, "Can Yao Dutong have a friendship with King Kang?" ”

"It's a little bit of a relationship." Yao Chong smiled bitterly in embarrassment, "The family is unfortunate, whether King Kang is willing to deal with Yao now, is another matter." However, referrals are always fine. No matter how bad Yao is, it is also a strategy, and there are not a few generals and schools under his command. A little bit of face, King Kang will still give it. ”

Chu Tianya's eyes lit up, "In this way, Yao Dutong also supports Chu to take the initiative to attack?" ”

Yao Chong sighed heavily, "In the army, in this situation, there is no choice but to attack us. Even if we know that we are going to lose the battle, we have to take the initiative to attack, and it is better to sit back and wait here! ”

A rare smile of relief appeared on Chu Tianya's face, "In the army, it coincides with the army!" ”
