Fang Zhongyong still didn't start the game, but went around to the wine cellar outside the door of the duty room, took out the jar of good wine he had hidden, knocked open the mud seal, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and poured it into the most ordinary cup. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Gongchen took a sip of the good wine in the cup, and couldn't help but sigh at his brother-in-law Ouyang Xiu, this guy loves to drink, calls himself a drunkard, and likes to make wine at home from time to time, but the wine he brewed, I can only use it as vinegar, but Ouyang Xiu is more and more frustrated, and in the end, he is famous for making vinegar, and later got the name "Mr. Vinegar Celery".

Fang Zhongyong set up the chessboard and sat down opposite Wang Gongchen.

After Wang Gongchen sat down, Fang Zhongyong put the chess pieces on the chessboard, Wang Gongchen picked up the chess pieces, followed Fang Zhongyong's rhythm, and slowly started to fight.

Wang Gongchen found that Fang Zhongyong's way of playing chess was very strange, not a very aggressive way of playing, but it was going deep step by step, playing steadily and steadily, and he couldn't help but be hung up by his appetite.

Fang Zhongyong originally copied the man-machine battle pattern between Alpha Dog and Lee Sedol in later generations, but Wang Gongchen's chess strength was amazing, and in the later generations, there would be a nine-stage bar, so he didn't dare to slack off at all, while playing chess, he began to play truth or dare with Wang Gongchen, and asked if there was any urgency in the past few days.

……

This time the secret spy department suddenly sent an errand, Zhen still felt very strange himself, for some reason he had to set off suddenly in the middle of the night, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to Fang Zhongyong, thinking that he would definitely be in a hurry.

On this trip, one was to escort the second batch of mines to the Song-Xia border for defense, and secondly, to escort Fan Yong, a member of the imperial court, to Zhiyanzhou (today's Yan'an), and to announce the will to transfer Xia Zhuzhi Yongxing (today's Xi'an), who had previously been Zhiyanzhou, to the army.

Thinking of this, Zhi still couldn't help but look at the carriage behind him:

The carriage was arranged by Fan Yong's mansion himself, and it looked like an ordinary small oil cart with green curtains on the outside, but yesterday Fan Yong called himself to discuss the matter, and he still found out,

Inside the carriage, the curtains were hung with embroidered ribbons made of colorful glass beads, and the red brocade pillows and cushions were embroidered with delicate and rich money python patterns, and the whole carriage was decorated with exquisite and gorgeous decorations.

This kind of pomp, although it is not so eye-catching compared to Xia Zhu, who is known for his boutique life and has to use a longer and widened carriage, it can also be seen that the official family sent these two to the national border, and he was still speechless.

In the eyes of the officials, in the face of the emperor's provocation and provocation in Western Xia, the best way to pretend to be forced to slap the face is probably to strengthen the strength and tan the muscles. And how to strengthen it? Renzong rectified the high-ranking officials at the level of commander-in-chief of the two military regions and threw them to the national border.

It has also been a long time since the peace passed, the emperor has been raised by the civilian group since he was a child, and at the moment of the war, he has made a civilian official as the commander-in-chief of the military region, which is unimaginable even in the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu Taizong Dynasty, and Zhenzong Dynasty.

Who are the people who were in Fan Yong and Xia Zhu in this position before? It was Pan Mei, Fu Qian, Kang Bao, and Wang Chao - all of them were professional soldiers, but Renzong and the Zaizhi Group made this decision.

Zhi still thought of this and sighed, but when he turned his head and saw the cart of mines escorted, Fang Zhongyong's shadow appeared in his heart again, and for some reason, he had an inexplicable sense of stability.

It's okay, isn't there still him? He must have a way.

Still thinking about it, he reached out and pinched the jade pei on his waist, and a fleeting blush appeared on his face.

……

Fang Zhongyong and Wang Gongchen finished playing chess and inquired a little bit about their eyebrows, but on the way back home, they were preoccupied, and the little train of history seemed to be moving forward along the established trajectory.

Fan Yong was sent to Yanzhou, which was not a very pleasant thing, the first defeat in the battle of Song and Xia, it was because Fan Yong believed Li Yuanhao's fraudulent surrender, so that he was besieged by Jin Mingzhai, and then, Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun, who came to rescue him, were directly surrounded by the whole army of people to send reinforcements and were annihilated in Sanchuankou.

However, Zhao Zhen didn't show any news before, and Fang Zhongyong was only a Hanlin scholar, not a minister, so he had no right to know about these important military affairs, unless he could hear it when he was on duty to revise his daily notes, but it was difficult to know what happened when he was not on duty.

Moreover, it is not his turn to question such a big personnel appointment, unless Zhao Zhen specifically asks his opinion, if he does not ask, Fang Zhongyong's duty is not to express his views on these matters.

Things have become a little tricky, originally Fang Zhongyong thought that the Song-Xia War began in the second year of Baoyuan, and now that the first year of Baoyuan has just begun, he can first go to win the recognition of Wu Yu and others, and then go together to win the support of Fan Zhongyan, so it is good to say a word or two in the preliminary preparations and overall strategy of the war.

As a result, it seems that this time Da Song had taken action in advance. Why did you send Fan Yong in advance?

Fang Zhongyong naturally didn't know, and Wang Gongchen didn't know either, Fan Yong's trip had a lot to do with the arrangement of landmines. And this mine is a system variable brought by his little butterfly that has crossed over.

To tell the truth, the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty at this time was to prepare for war and not start a war, so whether it was canceling the field, taking away official positions, or increasing troops at the border, driving away the envoys, or sending the top officials of the imperial court to the border like turnips, they all hoped that Li Yuanhao would be nervous and scared, and become a good son surnamed Zhao again.

It's a pity that this goal itself is completely ignorant of Li Yuanhao's nonsense.

In fact, most of the military generals who are so awesome and coaxed are still rushed to the shelves after the war to get over, and the preliminary preparations are quite insufficient, and the strategic goals are also quite unsober.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhongyong couldn't help but rein in his horse, and did not hesitate to go directly to Fan Zhongyan's mansion.

……

In Yanzhou City, Xia Zhu had just finished drinking the stone stalactites, so he warmed his hands and drew a picture of Qinchuan with a pen.

I heard a commotion outside the door, Liu Ping came in fully armed, and bowed to Xia Zhu, with a serious face on his face, as if he had something to say.

Xia Zhuping retreated from the servant on his side, and when there was no one around, Liu Ping reported:

"Yuan Hao's uncle Wei Mingshan has come to land."

Xia Zhu's pen tip couldn't help but sink on the rice paper, and the ink stains blurred a big idea, Xia Zhu's wrist was slightly retracted, the pen was thrown aside, and Liu Ping looked up and asked, "Do you have a family?" Did you bring an army? ”

Liu Ping continued: "Our people have been sentry around, but they have not brought troops, they have brought their families, and there are a few carts of things that claim to be gold and silver treasures. ”

"Oh?" Xia Zhu thought for a while and said to Liu Ping: "Since it is such an important person, then let people and family members in." As for the carts of gold and silver treasures, who knows if there is any contraband in them, leave them outside the city to search them, and then put them in the city. ”

When he said the word "search", a painful light flashed on his face, Liu Ping looked at it, and took the order in understanding, so he went down to do it.

Xia Zhu sat back at the table, but he lost interest in painting. (To be continued.) )
