Chen Yuan sat at the head of the city, shaking a feather fan, feeling that he had a bit of Zhuge Kongming's legacy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thought that Zhuge Kongming had repelled Sima Yi's 100,000 army with a Yaoqin, and if the Liao people came this time, would they see it and retreat?

When people are proud of the spring breeze, they like Yiyin the most, and Yiyin is more proud of the spring breeze. If the Song Dynasty won this battle, the problem of the Liao State would basically be solved. Goryeo and Dongying will be able to handle it soon, and it will be Mongolia's turn next.

For Goryeo and Dongying, the strategy of using praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind, and the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water to deal with Liao. Neither of these tactics was suitable for the Mongols, who were now full of wild surnames, and if they wanted their problems to be solved smoothly, the Great Song Dynasty had to have the ability to train wolves.

Slowly transform this dangerous nation full of wild surnames into the staunchest allies of the Great Song Dynasty, the best friend, and then become his own people.

In fact, even Chen Yuan did not realize that the Great Song Dynasty has now embarked on the road of expansion, and the development of the Great Song Dynasty has formed an unstoppable cycle over the years. If it is not cooperative, if it is not cooperative, the conditions are a little harsher, and the army of the Song Dynasty will be out immediately. When the war was over, the scholars used their words to persuade the other side, or used their talents to help the other side rule.

In this mode, whether it is a businessman who has been inconspicuous, or those high-ranking scholars, or the newly rising military class, they can find their own stage, and they are all opportunities to display their talents and get benefits.

So this pattern of unconsciously generated expansion was unconsciously accepted by everyone. People are like this, and what is good for oneself is the easiest to accept. The same is true of fighting the Liao people this time.

A chuckle interrupted Chen Yuan's train of thought on the Mongolian side, and Xu Huaide walked over from the side: "Master Horse, how about it, we don't have anything in this barracks, it's really hard, if you have any needs, just tell the general." ”

Xu Huaide is very good at being a person, and his character is quite similar to Chen Yuan, especially when he participated in the wedding in a short period of time, he actually got the bride of the family, which really made Chen Yuan admire it very much.

"The general is too polite, you have been drinking wine and eating game every day, how can you not be bitter, I think that it is a little too reluctant to open such a small stove in front of these sergeants and people."

Xu Huaide sat down against the wall next to Chen Yuan: "I want to visit the master of the horse again in the morning, master of the horse, do you think I can do business with you in this matter?" ”

Chen Yuan looked at him for a moment, and immediately came to him: "Don't say it, I have a deal and want to find someone to help me do it." ”

Xu Huaide was overjoyed, following Chen Yuan to do business is a way to get rich quickly, although the status and treatment of the military in the Great Song Dynasty are much higher than before, but they can't be compared with the scholars at all, and Xu Huaide is a person who pursues enjoyment, so he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

"Master Ma has a way to make a fortune, and the last general is grateful."

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "After the Great Song Dynasty finished fighting the Liao Kingdom, we will have to cultivate and recuperate for a period of time, but during this period of time, we still have to do it for those new enemies, or possible enemies." So I'm going to form a mercenary army. ”

Xu Huaide was puzzled: "Mercenaries? ”

Chen Yuan said: "Yes, it is the kind that hovers between the regular army and the second-line troops. Let's put it this way, give you 500 soldiers as a foundation, and when you need to fight, the court will allocate a sum of money and materials to you according to the scale of the war, and then you will recruit the army yourself and be responsible for winning the battle. After winning the war, the army was immediately disbanded, and the territory that was fought was the imperial court, how about it, can you take over this business? ”

As soon as Xu Huaide heard it, he heard the way to make money. If the enemy has 20,000 people, then the court must give itself at least 15,000 strategic supplies, but if you have the ability to win the war with 5,000 people, the supply of 10,000 people is earned by yourself.

He was very excited, this deal was good, and it was suitable for him to do.

"Really? Then why don't I dare to take it? It's just that I have to choose these 500 soldiers myself. ”

Chen Yuan thought for a while, this method was that he was going to tame the unruly wild wolf of Mongolia, didn't they like to fight and rob? After the problem of the Liao State was over, the Great Song Dynasty would inevitably have direct contact with the Mongolian tribes, and instead of letting them come to the Great Song Dynasty when they had no food, it was better to organize them, give them food, and let them help the Great Song Dynasty do some things that the scholars and doctors did not want to do.

However, Chen Yuan has just thought of this plan, and he has not thought about it yet, what method to use to make the scholars accept this form, and also ensure that there will be no conflict of interest between the mercenaries and the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty, which needs to be considered.

"I haven't been clarified by the emperor yet, but if General Xu is willing, I will go and say it, and after the emperor approves it, we will discuss the specific plan."

Chen Yuan then suddenly asked: "By the way, General Xu, how did you let your new daughter-in-law follow you in less than half an hour?" ”

Xu Huaide was stunned for a moment, Chen Yuan was really curious about this question, and smashed him with his arm: "Everyone is a man, you can teach any experience." ”

Xu Huaide touched his head and finally spoke: "This, it's not that I don't say it, if I say it, you will definitely say that I am bragging, and no one believes it." ”

Chen Yuan slurred: "You talk about it first, how do you know that I don't believe it if you don't say it?" ”

Xu Huaide stood up straight: "Okay, Master Don't let me tell you something, whether you say it is true or false." That was ten years ago, when I was still a small soldier under General Yang Yanzhao. Once, the Liao people suddenly came to attack our border fortress, and many residents did not have time to retreat, so they all hid in our camp. ”

Chen Yuan didn't know what he meant by this, but looking at Xu Huaide's look, it didn't look like nonsense.

I only heard Xu Huaide say: "On the fifth day of the battle, once the Liao people came into the camp. We fought with the Liao people in the camp, and the military leaders and brothers around me died, and I was the only one left, and I was slashed twice. After I killed the Liao people who fought with me, I wanted to sit on the grass next to me and rest. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Huaide smiled, and looked at Chen Yuan with his eyes: "I sat on the grass pile, felt soft, touched it with my hand, and found a woman hiding in the grass pile." Master Pony, what would you do at this time if you were you? ”

Chen Yuan didn't know, what to do at this time? Think about the scene at that time, it was all fighting, my brothers were dead, I was injured, what else could I do when I saw a woman hiding in the grass? The heroes took up their swords to draw the enemy away and keep the woman safe. The faint ones went in and pushed the woman out.

Xu Huaide smiled and said very proudly: "My hand was touching the woman's chest, I didn't take it away at that time, and I touched her a few times and didn't make a sound, I got into the haystack and did it!" ”

Chen Yuan was really taken aback, this is simply incredible! In that case, when it was so dangerous, there was blood and rain around him, and he didn't know if he could survive to the next second, he still had such romantic skills!

Looking at Chen Yuan's disbelieving expression, Xu Huaide shook his head: "I know you won't believe it, but I have witnesses to this matter, and later the woman came to the barracks to look for me, and the matter went to General Yang Yanzhao." ”

Chen Yuan asked, "What did General Yang do with you?" ”

Xu Huaide shook his head: "Deal with me?" General Yang is not the bastard of Ren Fu, he admires me very much, saying that I have the demeanor of Mount Tai and is not afraid, and he promoted me from a small soldier to a soldier at that time. ”

Chen Yuan finally understood that if what Xu Huaide said was true, then he had the ability to make the bride willing to sleep with him, and this ability made ordinary men feel jealous. Chen Yuan patted Xu Huaide on the shoulder: "Okay, don't say it." I already know the story, don't worry, if I can make this mercenary, the commander is you. ”

The body shape of the county magistrate is already very standard, although there are still some slight fat, but that does not affect the appearance. He had stepped up four steps in two steps, something he had never dared to imagine before.

"Lord Chen, there is news from the back that the emperor is about to come to the royal conquest."

Now he should be called the prefect, he was already going to take office, but when Chen Yuan transferred those people, the prefect volunteered to bring his villagers to this place again.

For him, there are two advantages to coming to this place, the first is to be able to deal with Chen Shimei. The current local government axe is very dependent on the banks, and the banks provide them with funds, so that they can build roads, build bridges, and build cities, which is a political achievement for them. At the same time, those merchants can come to prosper the market, and they can feed and clothe the people in their territory, which is also their political achievement.

Being able to make friends with Chen Shimei is not harmful to his future career.

What's more, the emperor is coming soon, as long as you find an excuse not to leave the battlefield, maybe you will have the opportunity to show your face in the emperor. Therefore, the prefect asked his master to take the big seal to help him deal with some chores first, and he did something here that might make the emperor see that he felt that he was more for the country and the people than Bao Qingtian and Fan Zhongyan.

The news that the emperor is coming makes these generals somewhat disappointed, the reason is very simple, the emperor is here to capture the emperor of Liao, and the most he praises these reinforcements is not light or heavy: "You soldiers have worked hard, without you there will be no victory on the front line." ”

Such comforting words, of course, are not as good as leaving a deep impression on Renzong as they did when he led his troops to fight bravely in front of Renzong.

At this time, those generals suddenly hoped that the Liao people would come more, so that the emperor could see the corpses of the enemies all over the ground, and let the emperor know his name.
