Next, the Hedong military exercise lasted for four or five days, until it was heavily rained and some mudslides were triggered.

In the past few days, it was mainly for eunuch Cao and some officials and people in Taiyuan to see, not the previous kind of battle-like military exercises, but a "military parade" in the traditional sense.

The men and horses of the Hedong Righteous Army and the Xuanfu Division were divided into 32 divisions, each led by a general and a leader, and practiced various formations, marches, and capture the flag according to the established route.

On the surface, the work and articles still have to be done. After all, in the past year, the imperial court has invested a lot of money in the Hedong Righteous Army, and the gentry and ordinary people are also very concerned about their current situation. Such an open drill can reassure the imperial court, and can also play a role in boosting morale and stabilizing the people's hearts.

The military exercise and parade of 150,000 people, except in Tokyo presided over by the imperial court, this kind of thing really did not happen much in other places. Such a high-profile behavior has caused great repercussions at all levels.

Unconsciously, Chu Tianya's image in the hearts of the court, the government and the gentry gradually changed from a bandit leader to a feudal official and a town general, and some people secretly scolded him for supporting the army and self-respecting ambitions.

In short, the names of the Hedong Righteous Army and Chu Tianya once again resounded all over the country.

There are also many people who have great vision and focus on national affairs who think that it is almost winter, and Chu Tianya came to such a high-profile military parade, which is clearly calling out to Jin Guo and Wanyan Zonghan. For decades, the Great Song Dynasty has rarely won victories in foreign wars, and last year's Battle of Taiyuan and the Battle of Huanglong Valley undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the military and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty. Now that Chu Tianya has openly challenged Jin Guo like this, many people are rejoicing, but they also secretly pinch a cold sweat for Chu Tianya.

Because everyone knows in their hearts that confidence is confidence, morale is morale, and the military strength of the Jin State is still enough to make people feel frightened!

If it really provokes the Jurchens, they go south to attack Taiyuan with all their might, and destroy Chu Tianya at any cost, can he withstand it?

……

Even outsiders had such worries, and Chu Tianya naturally thought about this problem.

Coincidentally, Bai Xu also thought of this, and he said to Chu Tianya, "My lord, the Jurchen army has only been defeated once in the past 12 years, and it was defeated in Taiyuan last year. Now that we are provoking him so proudly, in case the Jurchens are provoked, with their fierce and belligerent character, they will destroy Taiyuan first, regardless of a single thing. ”

"It's the best, it saves me the time to rack my brains to fight him." Chu Tianya replied, "The advantage of the Jin Kingdom lies in their strategic initiative, as well as at the tactical level, the strong mobility of the cavalry can launch a long-distance attack at any time to strike a surprise blow at me. If the Kingdom of Jin is provoked by me and comes to attack Taiyuan with all its might, then we will fight it to the death here. It is better to be able to keep the disaster out of the country of the Great Song Dynasty than to let them cut into the hinterland to make trouble. ”

Bai Xu said: "Now, Taiyuan has become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Jin Kingdom. If I were the wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom, I would only adopt two strategies when I invaded the south. The first is to bypass Taiyuan, go straight down to the Central Plains from the banks of the Yellow River on the eastern line, and then cut and counter-encircle Taiyuan, isolate us and then encroach on whales; The second is to concentrate troops to attack Taiyuan with all their might, first remove this stumbling block, and then wave the army to invade the Central Plains. And Xiaosheng thought ...... With the character of the Jurchens, the second tactic is more likely! ”

"Your analysis is correct. But I also have a different opinion. Chu Tianya said, "You just said a good sentence, with the character of the Jurchens, the second tactic is more likely. But have you forgotten that one of them is called Shi Liai, and he is not a Jurchen. He's just like you, a sinister character who is used to overcoming rigidity with softness and cunning. ”

Bai Xu's face twitched, "Lord, you are scolding!" ”

"Haha, it's not a scolding, it's a compliment." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "The use of soldiers is to make sure that the other party can't guess." Otherwise, nine times out of ten, you will lose. This time, we are engaged in a big military exercise, and there must be a Jurchen person who has seen it and reported the news to Shi Liai. Also, I have asked the mouth of the eunuch Cao to release rumors to the imperial court, saying that I want to go on a northern expedition. I believe that this kind of thing will soon cause a sensation when it reaches the imperial court, and it will not be long before it reaches Shi Liai's ears. When the time comes, Shi Liai will definitely repeatedly guess our next move. Although he didn't believe that we would go on a northern expedition, he was not afraid of 10,000 just in case, and he couldn't help but guard against it. The war has not yet begun, but we are already strategically competing. My purpose is not to let the people of Jin take the initiative, and we blindly defend ourselves. If we have the chance, we will also wait for the opportunity to cut them twice. Offense is the best defense. ”

Bai Xu took a cool breath and said in a low voice: "Lord, do you really plan to ...... What should the county lord do if he finds out? ”

"If you don't say it, who knows?" Chu Tianya made a blank face, "This time I can make it clear first, this is a real military secret." If you dare to leak it, I really cut off your head! ”

"The subordinates don't dare!!"

The large-scale military exercise ended, and all units and armies died down and returned to their respective battalions.

The army of more than 100,000 people, plus more people and people who visited, retreated like a tide.

Chu Tianya and the leaders returned to Qingyun Castle together, preparing to hold a summary meeting after the military exercise.

Heavy rain poured down, and the weather became very cold. People seem to smell the smell of freezing and snow in the cold and wet air.

Chu Tianya asked the horses to rest for a day, and all leaders with more than 100 people had to write a summary of the military exercise.

This kind of thing is really new to the bandit Xiangma, many people are illiterate at all, and their heads are big when they hear this order. Helplessly, this is a military order that cannot be disobeyed. The lord said that those who can't write will ask someone to write for themselves, and no one is allowed to default on their "homework" for any reason anyway.

In fact, "homework" is not an end in itself, but a means, so that the generals and leaders of the righteous army can develop the habit of thinking and summing up lessons and lessons, and learn to use their brains to learn to think. Only in this way can we really improve.

During the rest of the day, I don't know how many murderous men have bitten the head of the pen. There was often a loud noise of crying and laughing in the barracks, and the men who were accustomed to riding horses, archery, dancing knives and guns, picked up pen and ink to fight this war without gunpowder.

Chu Tianya was not idle. He has more to write, and it's not something that Liuhe can ghostwrite.

From getting up in the early morning to the afternoon, he never left the study, and he had some steamed bun soup for lunch. There was already a thick stack of paper around him, Xiao Fei was helping to polish the ink and clean up the paper, and no idler dared to disturb him, and the room was quiet.

Chu Tianya concentrated on thinking and writing notes, habitually wiping the pen on the ink inkstone, but his elbow touched a soup cup and almost knocked it over.

"Xiaofei, how did you do it?" Chu Tianya subconsciously scolded, turned his head and saw that there was actually a noble person standing beside him.

"Why are you, Xiaofei?" Chu Tianya put down his pen and looked at the soup cup, which contained a bowl of steaming and fragrant ginseng soup.

"He, he's sleepy, I'll serve the lord." The noble man smiled, "Lord, drink!" I will give you the stewed ginseng soup with my own hands, which replenishes qi and soothes the nerves. ”

"Okay, thank you." Chu Tianya was indeed a little tired, so he picked up the ginseng soup and drank it, which was indeed quite fragrant. After entering the abdomen, I felt a vitality spreading through my body, and the feeling of fatigue was lightened a lot.

"It's good, it's delicious and nourishing." Chu Tianya praised, "But I'm young and vigorous, so I can't drink too much of this kind of ginseng soup." ”

"It's okay, you can drink it! I use very gentle herbs. The noble man was praised, and happily walked behind Chu Tianya to massage his shoulders and neck, and said in a low voice, "Is it light?" Is it heavy? ”

"It's good, it's comfortable......" The nobleman's technique was really professional, and the tired Chu Tianya breathed a sigh, his eyes closed and he was enjoying it.

The nobleman was secretly happy in his heart, and massaged him more and more diligently.

After a while, Chu Tianya actually leaned back on the big chair as if he was asleep.

"I'm so tired!" The noble man groaned softly, took the big coat that Chu Tianya put on his side and gently covered him. Looking at his face facing the sky, the nobleman's face turned red for a while, and he couldn't hold back, so he kissed Chu Tianya's face.

Just as he was about to kiss his face, the cold Chu Tianya slapped him sideways. With a "wave", the noble man kissed Chu Tianya's face and heart.

"What are you doing?" Chu Tianya didn't open his eyes, and said lazily.

"Oops, I hate it!" The nobleman was angry, funny, and a little embarrassed, so he simply turned his heart sideways and kissed Chu Tianya's mouth.

Chu Tianya also smiled, the hand that was blocking his face stretched forward, and his thumb and index finger stretched out a "eight", which just stuck her mouth, and pinched it with a little secret force.

The nobleman's mouth became the shape of a catfish's mouth.

"Haha!" Chu Tianya was amused and laughed.

"Nasty, nasty!" The noble man jumped up, rubbing his mouth while pounding Chu Tianya's body with a small pink fist.

"Hey, you're guilty of this!" Chu Tianya laughed while playfully parrying.

"I'm going to beat you, I'm going to beat you!" The noble man scolded in a low voice in shame and annoyance, "You are not half close to me, you always avoid me, I hate you to death!" ”

"Alright, don't make a fuss." Chu Tianya clenched her pink fist and said with a smile, "Aren't you by my side every day, when did I avoid you?" ”

"Yes! ......," the noble man complained in a low voice in annoyance, "as soon as the county lord returns, you will ignore no one. Is she the only one in your eyes? ”

Chu Tianya smiled and didn't answer.

"Look, your expression is an acknowledgment!" The noble man said sourly, "When I was selected for Qingwei, the old man said that we are all your 'close' guards. Close-fitting, don't you understand what it means? In the final analysis, only the queen of heaven is the only one who sticks to your body, hum! ”

"Heh, according to what you mean, I still have to let Liuhe Xiaofei and them stick to me?" Chu Tianya smiled, "I'm not good at that." ”

"Hey, that's disgusting!" Goosebumps straightened up on the nobleman's body, "Don't you quibble, aren't you unclear in your heart?" All the women in our Qingwei are the women of the lord. As a result, you only have one queen in your eyes, what do you want us to think? …… Suzaku, she scratched her face for you, and she also betrayed her lover and country. ”

Chu Tianya turned his eyes and didn't speak.

"Okay, we know that you are busy, and you and Lord Xiao have the deepest relationship, and it is not easy to get to this day. We're not jealous either. It's just ......," the nobleman's mouth slumped, "I don't know what to say!" Anyway, anyway, you don't want to see us! We don't feel happy! ”

"Okay, you say, what do you want me to do with you?" Chu Tianya said with a smile.

The nobleman's face was red, but his eyes were shining, "The old man said that if I make a contribution in this exercise, the lord will have a hole with me!" Hehe-he-Jiao Wentong's handkerchief was taken off by me. What do you think? ”

"Huh? The old man sold my chastity so cheaply? Chu Tianya feigned anger, "The words were said by him, I didn't give such a promise!" …… You go for him! ”

"You! …… You're mad at me! The nobleman stomped his feet, "Do you believe it or not, I will find a random man to give him my virginity?" ”

Chu Tianya grinned and laughed, "You can say this kind of thing?" ”

"I—Why can't I say it?" The noble man crossed his waist and puffed out his breath and said, "In our Xi tribe, if any man is taken by a woman, put a knot braided with an ox's tail on him, no matter whether the man likes it or not, he has to go to the woman's house to live, help with farm work, and herd sheep and give birth to babies!" - I'll only tell you to have a cave with me, it's already very cheap for you! ”

Chu Tianya hid his face and laughed, "I can't do this!" You'll have to talk to Lord Xiao - she said that the duty of the Queen of Heaven is to guard the other half of my bed! ”

"Hmph, just go!"

The noble man stomped his feet and crossed his waist, twisted his hips and walked with catwalks, and went to find Xiao Linglong.

Chu Tianya was dumbfounded, "Really went?" ”
