Chapter 10 Xiangzhou

It is because of the prestige of the Khitan people for more than 200 years, the main purpose of the Jin State is to kill Emperor Tianzuo and completely destroy the orthodoxy of the Liao people. www.biquge.info For this reason, Wanyan Aguta can form an alliance with the Song people, and can win over all the non-Khitan ethnic groups in the Liao State, even if it is the Khitan, as long as it can be used by him, it can also be reused.

Therefore, the Jin people expressed limited favor for the newly rising Han state on the Korean Peninsula and did not refuse to trade with the Han state. When the envoys of the Jin Kingdom entered the territory of the Han Kingdom, Chen Cheng had already taken Gao Gao and Wang Dong from the battleship to a small boat and set foot on the land of Hebei.

Hebei Province is very large, including a large territory of Yan Zhao in the past, the so-called Yan Zhao is more generous and sad, which means that there are many heroes here in Hebei. The folk customs here are completely different from those in the south of the Yangtze River, and even under the governance of the Song Kingdom, there is still a tradition of martial arts.

Just like Shaanxi in this era has a large number of archery societies and village soldiers, Hebei also has a large number of village soldiers and archers because of the threat of the Liao. The imperial court also maintained limited support for this martial style among the people, and did not prohibit the possession of bows and crossbows as in the south.

"From now on, you have to call me master." Chen Cheng said to the two teenagers who looked like tigers: "See more, listen more, talk less, do you know?" ”

Wang Dong and Gundam looked at each other and shouted together, "Got it, master!" ”

"Master, where are we going?" Gundam is tall and big, he is the eldest son of Gao Yongchang, the king of the Bohai Sea, and in addition to being a disciple of Chen Cheng, he is also the new hall master of the Kanto Divine Sword Hall. The Kanto Divine Sword Hall is also a branch of the Demon Sect, and there is also a branch in the Song Dynasty.

"That's right," Wang Dong said with his hands in full swing, "Master, are we going to investigate the customs and customs here and prepare for the future strategy?" ”

"No, I'm looking for someone."

"Find someone.... Boom," Wang Dong secretly glanced at the smiling Chen Cheng and asked, "Is it a beautiful woman?" ”

"Nonsense!" Gundam glanced at Wang Dong with disdain and said, "Do you think the master is a superficial person like you?" Call the clubhouse, it must be a strong man.... No, master, listen to me, I didn't mean that, oops, pain, pain, don't fight..... I mean a master! ”

"Hmph, didn't I tell you just now?" Chen Cheng said: "Watch more, listen more, talk less!" ”

The three of them are all people with strong bodies and martial arts, and sleeping in the open is not a problem. They had enough silver taels and copper coins with them to replenish some food and water to be able to sneak at a very fast pace. However, after two or three days of hard work, after changing horses a few times, they had already arrived in Xiangzhou.

The biggest Haoqiang and the largest family in Xiangzhou is, of course, the Han family. At that time, the Han family in Xiangzhou had a person named Han Qi, who stepped on the Jinshi in the fifth year of the Heavenly Sage. During the reign of Song Renzong, he and Fan Zhongyan led the army to defend the Western Xia, and enjoyed high prestige in the army, known as "Han Fan".

At that time, there was a ballad in the frontier: There was a Han in the army, and the western thief was cold when he heard it; There was a fan in the army, and the western thieves were shocked when they heard it. Throughout his life, Han Qi went through the three dynasties of Renzong, Yingzong and Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and personally experienced and participated in many major historical events, such as resisting the Western Xia and Qingli New Deal. In his official career, Han Qi had a glorious period of being a prime minister for ten years and assisting the three dynasties, and he also had a local career of more than ten years before and after being demoted.

"Eh, master, are you serious?" Gundam touched his head and said, "If Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan are really so powerful, why didn't they destroy Western Xia?" On the contrary, the people of the Western Xia Dynasty went to Koubian every year? The teachers in the academy didn't say that they were very good at fighting. ”

"Needless to say, it must be the civil officials of the Song State who are boasting about themselves and putting gold on the faces of their peers." Wang Dong sneered and said: "The heart of the thief is still frightened, just Han Qi's style of killing soldiers and establishing authority, I know that this person does not have much prestige in the army." The best thing for a literati like them to lead a soldier is to hold on to the city, and let the professional do the war. ”

"Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan are quite competent, don't talk nonsense about others." Chen Cheng said: "But they are not professional soldiers after all, and the skills of fighting will naturally be very fashionable." At that time, the Western Xia people also wrote a poem, which was written like this: Han Qi is not strange, and Xia Wei He has shrugged. The dragon and tiger generation of the Sichuan River still talk about military aircraft. ”

The so-called "Manchuan Dragon and Tiger Generation" refers to the Song army soldiers who died in the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and "still talking about military aircraft" refers to the fact that Han Qi, the commander of the Song Army at that time, did not listen to the opposition of the generals below and forcibly ordered the soldiers to go to battle. Obviously, this is a mockery that Han Qi will not fight at all, and tens of thousands of elites of the Song Kingdom who have harmed him have been buried in the good water river.

Gundam and Wang couldn't help but laugh when they heard it. Although these two people are both queens of the royal family, one is the son of Gao Yongchang, the self-proclaimed emperor in Japan, and the other is the Wang family who was transferred to Jeju Island.

After worshipping under Chen Cheng's disciple, they followed a group of senior brothers to practice martial arts every morning and learn literature in the afternoon.

"Several, this is Xiangzhou, you insulted the ancestors of the Han family so much, I'm afraid you will get into trouble!" The little brother on the side didn't look very good-looking, and said, "It's better to pay attention to it." ”

This little brother's surname is Yue, he is about seventeen or eighteen years old, he looks like a tiger, he is full of energy, and he looks like a good man. It's just that one eye is big and the other eye is small, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment.

"Hmph, an incompetent person like Han Qi can also achieve the position of prime minister, the huge Song Kingdom, aren't there a few real heroes and heroes?" Gundam had a very loud mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he stepped on the position of an incompetent person like Han Qi. He said loudly: "If I had been in Di Qing's army at that time, I would have cut off the head of that surnamed Han with one sword, and I would have dared to humiliate our martial artist like this if I would have dared to be stable in that variable!" ”

"Hey, you just blow it!" Wang Dong sneered: "Then Han Qi has hundreds of elite soldiers around him at any time, you are afraid that you will be cut off before you get to other people's side!" ”

"Be careful, be careful!" The little brother smiled bitterly and said to Chen Cheng, who was thinking about something on the side: "Sir, if these two apprentices of yours want to say this again, then they have no choice but to leave." A few of them did not dare to ask for silver. ”

Chen Cheng withdrew his gaze from the sky and casually looked at Gao Gao and Wang Dong, who immediately closed their mouths obediently.
