Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Winter is coming, and the wilderness is silent.

Only the roar of the Han barracks on the banks of the Yellow River was as good as ever. The Han army lost nearly 1,500 men in the Battle of Monan, and it took only a few months to recruit more than 900 soldiers from Guannai.

After giving priority to Lei Yanqian's 300 heavy cavalry battalion, Zhai Zhe merged Meng Kang's right wing cavalry into the Chinese army, with a total of 3,800 people divided into three groups: Zuo Ruo, Meng Kang and Zhai Zhe, and deployed and trained in a unified manner. Xiao Zhiyan's light cavalry battalion has always been independent of the main office, and only he can find suitable soldiers, Zhai Zhe transferred Ji Hong to his deputy, and temporarily led the light cavalry battalion during his entry into the customs.

After the baptism of the Great War of Monan, the Han cavalry finally had a breath of iron and blood when they marched and set up camp. Any army can only grow through blood, and only the best honor guard can be trained on the training ground. Even now, Zhai Zhe didn't dare to let the Han cavalry and the Jurchens fight in a dignified manner, which was the shadow left by Cao Wenzhao's battle under Datong City.

The strength of the Jurchen is the result of years of victory, whether it is individual soldiers, battlefield reactions and morale, it is not comparable to today's Han cavalry.

Go to the army to plot, then attack and attack.

The moment when it really came to the battlefield showdown, it was the result of countless efforts in the early stage.

Because Zhai Zhe was riddled with miscellaneous things, and he had to try to go back and forth to the Senei, after returning from Guannei, he officially released Feng Qin from his side, and took charge of the military affairs of the Chinese army with Zuo Ruo and Meng Kang. In the past few years, his preference for Feng Qin is well known, and the people outside the plug are brave and dependent, and most people don't understand how the Lord of Qianhu can favor such a thin young man.

It wasn't until the beginning of November that news came from the Shangmeng that Fan Yongdou had arrived in Datong.

With Fan Yi in it, Zhai Fan and the two finally met.

Putting aside the complicated relationship, Fan Yongdou is Zhai Zhe's uncle after all, and Zhai Zhe personally went to visit the Dashengkui branch.

Winter.

The snow on the bluestone pavement of Datong Street was swept away, and the pedestrians who passed by were hurrying, their hands wrapped in their cuffs and cowering their necks. No matter how cold the winter is, it can't stop the businessmen, and the big merchants and vendors put out all kinds of goods to locate the daily life of the people in the city.

Zhai Zhe ordered the little servant to prepare a generous gift and go with Fan Yi.

Fan Yi approved a white fox fur coat, his face was ruddy in the winter sun, and the whole person looked cold and pretty.

In the past few months, Zhai Zhe has spent a lot of time in Sene, getting along day and night, and her whole person is more nourishing than before.

The Da Shengkui branch was not far from Zhai's house, and the two walked for a short half a minute to the door of the business, and the clever guy at the door hurriedly entered the house to report.

When the two entered the door, Fan Yongdou walked out of the inner house, followed by a person, Zhai Zhe looked at it, and froze, it turned out to be his eldest brother Zhai Tang, it was really an unexpected meeting.

The first two characters of the eight families have arrived, and they both have a close relationship with themselves, Zhai Zhe smiled bitterly in his heart, and stepped forward to greet each other: "Big brother, big brother!" ”

Fan Yongdou returned the salute with a smile, but Zhai Tang turned his cold face aside.

As soon as the two sides met, a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Fan Yi made a color at his brother and made an excuse to leave, she had already passed the news to her brother when she should have said it, and she couldn't open her mouth at this time when she shouldn't say it, this was a matter between men, and she couldn't intervene.

The three of them entered the inner house in silence, and the servant left after serving tea and closed the door.

"Big brother, I haven't seen you for a few years," Zhai Zhe didn't expect his brother to come here, and hesitated to say, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'll be fine without you making a mess for me!" Zhai Tang still has the same temper as before, and when he sees his younger brother again, he feels that he is not as annoying as before.

Fan Yongdou smiled and interjected: "Back then, when you left the east exit and went to the west exit, your brother and I never imagined that you would create such a great foundation and cause such a big disaster. ”

Zhai Zhe took a sip of tea and said, "Woe and blessing rely on!" “

"Where does the blessing come from?"

"Isn't it true that the big brother has not appeared, and the business roads in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty are all in the hands of people in this house!"

Zhai Tang snorted coldly and said, "The catastrophe is coming, especially if you don't know it!" ”

"May I ask the two brothers, why do you want to live here?" Zhai Zhexun replied to himself: "It's nothing more than fame and fortune!" ”

"Jin merchants never seek fame, only profit, the foundation I set is also the foundation of the Zhai family, the east exit takes the road of the east exit, the west exit takes the road of the west exit, the world is in chaos now, why don't you and I take a long-term view, not necessarily just hang a tree."

Fan Yongdou sneered and said, "That's not a tree, it's a cannibal tiger and leopard!" As long as I say half a word, the foundation of the East Exit will disappear immediately, do you think the West Exit can be left alone? ”

"They don't dare!" Zhai Zhe's tone was crisp, "Liaodong needs the east exit, just like the east exit needs Liaodong!" ”

Zhai Tang couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded angrily: "Are you stupid or shrewd? Can't you see that sooner or later Saiwai is the world of Daikin? ”

"Of course he can see it, it's just that he looks down on what we're doing!" Fan Yongdou hit the nail on the head, "Yue Tuobeile once promised to naturalize the city, but it didn't make you return to your heart, I don't know what else you want?" ”

"Me?" Zhai Zhe suddenly realized that he couldn't answer this question.

"What do you want?" Fan Yongdou asked tightly.

Is it rich enough to rival the country? Is the power in the world? Zhai Zhe was suddenly a little confused, thinking that those were not what he thought in his heart.

"The camp of Yuetobel gives you one last chance, if you can bind Omubu Khan to the east, he can beg Tiancong Khan to forgive your sins, and from then on, the wealth of the northern border will only belong to the Zhai Fan family!"

Zhai Zhe clapped his hands and said, "That's impossible!" ”

"What is the difference between Mongolia and Jurchen?"

"At least I have a clear conscience and won't lure aliens into the world!"

This sentence directly rebuked the faces of the two, Zhai Tang's face turned red, and he scolded: "You just met a weak Mongolia, otherwise you would also be Zhao Quan back then." In the second year, the Jurchen entered the Kou Jing Division, and in the sixth year entered Datong, can we control it? ”

Fan Yongdou was not angry, and said: "I only want to ask you, if Dajin takes Guihua City, are you willing to dissolve the Han Department of the Shang Alliance, or continue to operate and kill Hukou?" ”

"The imperial court has the claims of the imperial court, and the Jin people have the livelihood of the Jin people. Xuanda was already barren, and in a disaster year, it was common to sell children and daughters, and in the past, the imperial court could subsidize the nine sides with salt administration, and the life of Shanxi was quite passable. You are also a Jin person, you should know the pain of going to the west exit and going out of the fortress to be enslaved by the Mongols, how can those who can't survive be loyal to the court? Does Su Wu shepherd sheep? How many Suwu were there for thousands of years? Look at the thieves in the Central Plains, are they aliens? After Li Zicheng claimed to be a member of the party, Li Yuanhao, is he considered an alien? The rest, such as scorpion blocks and so on, are not Han Chinese! ”

"Back then, the nine sides cut off trade with the Mongols, and the disaster of Warat, and the Tumut siege of Beijing in the year of Gengshu, what can merchants influence? Of course, I smuggled grain, grass and weapons to Liaodong, but what are the officials in the court who are on the corpse and vegetarian meal? I know that the northwest is full of drought and hunger, but the fields in the south of the Yangtze River are not planted with rice. Wouldn't it be far better than our sins to let the world go into chaos? But I have climbed out of the hard days, and Da Shengkui is like my son, and whoever stands in my way will be incompatible with me. ”

Fan Yongdou talked eloquently, and the meaning in his words made people shudder.

The road is different!

Zhai Zhe took another sip of tea and said, "No one is blocking the path of the eldest brother!" ”

"If you don't follow Yue Tobel, the Shang Alliance and the Eight Families can only survive in the world!"

"Maybe, but not now." Zhai Zhe was determined, Fan Yongdou no longer had the capital to talk to him about this, "If the eldest brother wants to make peace, the eldest brother wants to fight, and I am not afraid!" ”

Fan Yongdou's face changed slightly, and he said: "That's good, I won the last chance for you for the sake of my sister, and if you miss today, you won't have a chance to regret it in the future." ”

"The Shang Alliance is willing to be friends with the Eight Families, but if Brother Fan deceives people too much, I also have a way to make the caravan in Zhangjiakou unable to get out of the jam!"

Zhai Tang slapped the table angrily, and the tea splashed on the desk.

Zhai Zhe's expression was as usual, and he persuaded softly: "Big brother is angry, people in business know that harmony is precious." There is no longer a forehead in the Duoyan Grassland, and Chahar's sac will not stay long in the Zhangba Grassland, and the Jurchens will not be able to reach the whip, I promise not to do anything outside the East Exit, I only hope that the Eight Masters will not cause trouble for me in Daming! ”

It is a lose-lose situation, and neither side has the strength to kill each other.

Caravans are not horse thieves, most people have families and small families, as long as two or three large caravans are attacked, no one can bear this loss. The Battle of Monan also lost the prestige of the Jurchens, who had not been defeated for several years, and Fan Yongdou also had doubts about whether Yue Tuo could ensure the safety of the trade routes, after all, their opponents this time were no longer Chahars, but Han Chinese who were born in Jin merchants and understood the rules of caravan travel.

Zhai Tang had a black face, and he had only been together for more than ten years, and he had never really understood his younger brother. can't write two Zhai characters in one stroke, and the Zhai family has such a person's fortune and misfortune.

Seeing that the two people on the other side were silent, Zhai Zhe said again: "Now that the ninth year is cold, if the two brothers don't believe it, you might as well wait until the beginning of spring next year to take a look, if Yue Tuo has the ability, he can naturally expel me from Mo Nan, and if Jin Shang dies so badly, it will make people laugh and be generous." “

"You put so much effort into it, and in the end the bamboo basket is empty, isn't it a pity?" Fan Yongdou's tone was full of regret.

"It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!" Zhai Zhe clapped his hands and got up, and said, "The world is impermanent, eldest brother, this matter can leave me a leeway, and there will be a reward in the future!" ”

The eight families are really determined to face off with the business alliance in the shopping mall, and with the financial resources of the eight families and the relationship in the Ming officialdom, it is not that the business alliance can match it now. But businessmen will not gamble their lives in a struggle with no substantive interests, Fan Yongdou relies on the Nuzhen for money, but it is not purely a life, and he is worried that Zhai Zhe will backlash if he makes a rash move.

Zhai Zhe knew that at this time, a qiē relationship was illusory, as long as he had no power to fight back, Fan Yongdou would not care whether he was his brother-in-law or not, and would be ruthless in order to show loyalty to the Jurchen, even if it was his eldest brother.

Zhai Zhe arched his hand, smiling, as if he was talking about an ordinary trivial matter, and said: "It is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!" The two brothers will wait a few more months to see if they want to do it! ”

Both sides are close friends and enemies who want to kill each other.

Zhai Tang suddenly raised his head and said slowly, "You haven't been back to your hometown for a few years?" Father's mind is getting less and less clear, but he still remembers your name! ”

Zhai Zhe trembled slightly, and the place that he had been deliberately unwilling to touch was revealed by his brother.

For a long time, he couldn't tell whether he was from a later generation, or whether the second son of the Zhai family had accepted a memory, maybe it didn't make a difference. He can betray the Zhai family as a matter of course, but the memory of growing up in this world is something he can't erase if he wants to, and there is someone there who has always been by his side.
