"Uncle!" The burly Zhang Cong threw himself in front of Wan Linggen, tears glistening in his eyes, and he couldn't speak.

Wan Linggen carefully looked at Zhang Cong, who had grown into an adult, and punched him in the chest and smiled: "Good boy, grow up!" ”

"Uncle, your hair ......," Zhang Cong asked, wiping his eyes and looking at his hair.

Wan Linggen smiled: "What, isn't this handsome?" ”

Zhang Cong smiled: "Very handsome! Then he said with a dark face: "Uncle, my mother misses you very much, but there are too many rules in the palace, and she can't get out." ”

Wan Linggen nodded, "It's okay, uncle will go to see her." ”

"Prince!" Four or five young people ran in breathlessly, it was Yue Fei's three sons and Yang Zizi and the others.

Zhang Cong saw that it was them, and said with great joy: "Xiaoyun, Xiaolei, Xiaozhen, and Zaixing, are you all okay?" Miss me! As he spoke, he rushed up and got into a mess with them.

Wan Linggen looked at Yang Zizi with a smile, "Brother Yang, we will meet again so soon!" ”

Yang Zizi nodded slightly: "Yes, but it may not be long before we are separated again." ”

Wan Linggen said, "That's right, it won't be long. The two of them laughed as they spoke.

"Let me be the commander and command the battle?" Zhang Cong opened his mouth wide and looked at Wan Linggen and the others, with a blank expression.

Wan Linggen said: "That's right, including me, all personnel are at your disposal. ”

Yang Zizai looked at him with a smile, and Zhang Cong blushed excitedly, "Okay! Then I'll give it a try! But you're going to have to help me! ”

Wan Linggen, Yue Fei, Yang Zizi and the others looked at each other and smiled, all of them were pleased.

Seeing off the excited Zhang Cong, Wan Linggen asked, "Brother Yang, how did you persuade the emperor to let the prince out?" ”

Yang Zizai said with a smile: "The prince behaved very well-behaved in front of the emperor, and this time he didn't come to fight, but to urge food." ”

"Urging food?"

Yang Zizai sighed and said: "Years of war, the people have been displaced, the richest places in the south have also failed to collect taxes year after year, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been like a year after a year, and the taxes in some places have been received for decades, but even so, they still can't make ends meet." When we came, there was not much food in Lin'an Mansion. ”

Wan Linggen did not speak. The rules he set before, only to the people who farm, only to collect the land rent tax, the merchants only collect the transaction tax, no matter the rest of the industry, but also only pay one tax, the amount is only equivalent to the previous half of the cow, even in the ten years when he was asleep, this policy has never changed, so the people of Kaifeng have grain reserves, and every family has silver deposits. This has been known since Zhao Gou fled here for refuge, so he has been thinking about it in his heart.

This phenomenon, from the perspective of today's people, is very incomprehensible, the tax is less, the common people are rich, the official warehouse is naturally full, and the income of officials is not low, they can't understand where these come from.

Yue Fei frowned and said: "The prince raises grain, I'm afraid it's not easy, there is no full statement, the Zheng chief official of the Agricultural Division will not pull out a grain of rice." ”

Wan Linggen waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about this matter later, no matter what, you can't ask for food from the people, the emperor is short of food, let him buy it at the market price." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

They discussed these things here, and after Zhang Cong went out, he hurriedly found Yue Yun and the others, and began to plan his plan to retreat from the enemy. Of course, he also understood that the reason why Wan Linggen handed over this battle to him was mainly to strengthen the prestige of his crown prince, and the most critical point was also the most confident in his heart, that is, no matter how he tossed this battle, he didn't have to worry about losing.

It is precisely because of these considerations that the young Royal Highness the Crown Prince began his method of arranging troops in a big way, and strange tricks are frequent, and they are not in the routine at all.

The reason why he said that he was not on the routine was because his style of play was too casual, and there was no confrontation between large groups of men and horses at all, but he frequently sent a team of 100 people to go deep into the enemy formation to harass them, and as long as the other party was chaotic, they immediately retreated. So repeatedly, day and night, for more than ten days, it also tossed Wanyan Zongying and others to exhaustion.

After careful deliberation, Wanyan Zongying and Liu Yu decided to push the battle line forward until the city of Kaifeng.

They really came to Kaifeng City smoothly, but what puzzled them was that the four gates of Kaifeng City were wide open, and there was no special defense on the city wall, as if there was nothing, and even the people who entered and exited the city only occasionally looked back at them, and went to do their own things.

After Yan Zongying was confused, Liu Yu also fell into the fog, what is this? Only Wanyan Si Room was not shocked or confused, and looked thoughtful.

An army of 200,000 is not a small number, and at a glance it is overwhelming the whole land with armor weapons and neighing war horses.

They stopped five miles below the city. It is still dominated by Wanyan Zongying in the center, and the left and right sides are Wanyan Si Room and Liu Yu respectively.

As a result, the harassment in Kaifeng City could not be carried out, and there was a brief silence between the two sides.

"Uncle, General Yue, the Jin soldiers have arrived at the city, should we attack in an all-out way?" After all, Zhang Cong was not very confident in his heart, and found Wan Linggen to ask for an idea, and Wan Linggen and Yue Fei were playing chess.

Yue Fei holds the white son, Wan Linggen holds the black child, he doesn't know anything about Go at all, and he was pulled by Yue Fei to practice.

Yue Fei glanced at Zhang Cong and said with a smile: "Prince, come and see, your uncle doesn't know chess at all, but he can be on an equal footing with me, do you know why?" ”

Zhang Cong tilted his head and looked at it for a while and said: "Uncle's chess has no rules, but they are all concentrated in one point, and these points seem to be unrelated to each other, but as long as they are slightly flexible, they can be connected." ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "You're right. Playing chess is to fight who has more children left in the end and occupies a large territory, but it is not about who has the most momentum and high tactics, right? ”

Zhang Cong nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "I understand!" With that, he turned and ran out.

Yue Fei and Wan Linggen looked at his back and smiled, "Does he really understand?" ”

Wan Linggen fell down again and said, "As long as you understand a little, it will be enough for those people outside." ”

At this moment, someone came to report that the flower housekeeper had something important to do with him. Yue Fei pushed the chessboard and said, "Brother Xian, go, I also have to help the prince plunder the array." ”

Wan Linggen got up and said goodbye to Yue Fei and walked towards the inner mansion.

The flower housekeeper is actually the lady of luxury, but she has gone to the word luxury and changed her name to Mrs. Huarui.

Wan Linggen wanted to talk to her alone several times, but she always pushed her away. He thought that since she didn't want to, he wouldn't force it, but he didn't know what he was doing when he took the initiative to come to him today. However, he can also guess that most of it is related to the golden soldiers outside the city. In fact, he didn't know that there was a road outside the city that was Wanyan Si Room, otherwise he would have changed his method of fighting the enemy a long time ago.
