December 1 of the fifth year of the Great Song Xuanhe.

Outside the Taiping Post in Longde Mansion on Hedong Road, Zhang Zhonghu, the commander of the strong army on Hedong Road, walked out of the post station door lazily.

The so-called strong army is the local Xiang army on Hedong Road. This number was established during the Shinjong period. The Liao people had a great military threat, and in Zhulu in Hebei and Hedong Road, a large number of troops were set up to garrison the countryside. The villagers defended the homeland, thinking that it was used as an auxiliary wing of the forbidden army in the field.

But in this day and age, the so-called box army has long been not considered an army. Needless to say, the strong army is the infantry army. Even those who have the number of the horse army in the box army are not cāo practiced for a long time. From the imperial court to the locality, it has been a long time since these van armies have been sorted out. How many people are under each battalion, how many savings, is it simply in name only? It's basically a muddled account. is a que official, and he often does not make up for more than ten years. Looking at the original intention of the imperial court, I am afraid that there is no intention of letting these van armies die naturally.

But for the system of the Xiang Army, there are still some things that have to be maintained. For example, the box army of Guan Yi, the box army of the handshop, the box army of repairing the Bianhe River, and the box army under the jurisdiction of the shipping envoy to transport and supply Bianliang grain. These officers are replenished, and occasionally they can be promoted. There is still a little bit of food to be paid.

The first part of the strong and effective army is now in charge of the pavilions and shops in the southeast of Hedong Road, such as Longde Mansion, Weisheng Army, Zezhou, and Luzhou. Taipingyi is one of them.

However, although it was still the box army that the imperial court wanted to maintain, with the sharp decline in the financial revenue of the Great Song Dynasty in recent years, resources were also concentrated on several major wars. It has been a few years since the strong and effective army has seen a military salary, but twice a year, they can receive some old old rice in the local official warehouse.

However, the strong and effective army does not wait, do not rely on, and actively produce to save themselves. How many years earlier, I didn't expect the imperial court to be able to support this strong and effective army. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on their advantages in managing the delivery of military post stations in several states. The post station was operated as a large car shop for hostels, the delivery shop was used to bring private messages to the merchants, and even the post station could be used to manage the authority of horses and mules, and to buy and sell cattle transported from the north.

If it is located in the post station of the local Chongyao, these so-called soldiers in the post station with the name of the box army. It's better than the ordinary soldiers in the Dumen Forbidden Army, I'm afraid it's a lot more nourishing.

The Taiping Station in the north of Longde Mansion is a large post station that belongs to the local importance. From Gyeonggi-ro, head northwest to Wanghadong-ro. This is the main pathway. Longde Mansion is now the area of Shangdang, which has always been known as the foot basin land of Shanxi, and it is flat land on Hedong Road, and it is a mountain to the north. Business travelers are bound to settle here.

After decades of operation, Taipingyi has become a town integrating inns, wine shops, large car shops, carriage and horse shops, small-scale mule and horse markets, and local goods and mountain goods distribution centers. Relying on the Taipingyi as the center, there are already hundreds of thousands of households living together. Xiangyuan County also specially distributed tooth stickers for the market here, and sent tax supervisors to collect taxes here. As for the first-class inspection of public security, there is no more, and the strong and effective army is no matter how it is.

At this time, it was winter, and Hedong Road was considered a northern land, and it had already fallen a few heavy snowfalls. There are few pedestrians on the road, and the merchants who do business in the north have long since returned to their own homes, waiting for the spring to thaw before going out. Most of the people also cut their doors for the winter. The bazaars have been suspended. The tax collector of Xiangyuan County also returned to the county seat. On weekdays, the Taipingyi, which seems to be quite lively, is a deserted scene at this time.

On a dirt road that runs through the Taiping Post Station through "Baidu Tieba Set Sail and Text", there are only a few idlers basking in the sun against the wall. There are very few shops open along the street. There are only one or two mutton soups, and small shops selling steamed cakes are still struggling to open. Waiting to do the business of those military masters in the post station. However, he was lazy to hide in a sheltered place, and he didn't want to shout at all.

Zhang Zhongwat touched his gray beard and made up his mind to wait for a dime of wine and a bowl of mutton soup. Then go back to the post house and take a nap for the afternoon. He was in his early fifties, and had been working as an errand boy in the Taiping Post since he was fourteen years old. Slowly climbed to the position of being in charge of a post. I feel that I am quite comfortable, there is no shortage of money, and there are a large number of grandchildren. The ambition has long been gone, and I just hope that this peaceful day can go on forever.

But it's always a little annoying to think of this, and the Liao people have long stopped meeting with the Great Song Dynasty. Even if there is an occasional grass valley on the border, it will not be able to reach the place surrounded by mountains in Lundhu. What's so bad about peace between the two countries? Bisheng wants to destroy the Liao State with that Jurchen. When fighting the Liao State, Hedong Road also had to support the horses, and the post station that had not been in a big move for decades was busy and chaotic, not only could not see a small amount of money, but also lost a lot of money.

That's fine, I heard a merchant from the north. This Jurchen is very fierce and has the majesty of the Liao people when they founded the country. You must know that in the first few decades of the founding of the Liao people, they went deep into the Central Plains I don't know how many times! From the Later Jin Dynasty to the Zhenzong period of this dynasty, I don't know how many battles were fought fiercely, and Hedong Road has always been one of the main battlefields. The original hungry wolf has been fed, and now there is a new one, if it goes deep into the Central Plains, wouldn't it be a long time of war and disaster?

It's okay if you're old. But sons and sons-in-law, grandchildren and sons-in-law are now living in this Taiping Station. What will happen to them?

The more I think about this, the more annoyed I become. In the past 50 years, Zhang Zhongwat Zhang, the commander of Zhang Zhonghu, who has never left the Taiping Post for hundreds of miles, really can't figure it out. I had to shake my head and not think about it. With a cough, he was about to walk towards the eater.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from the north. It is also accompanied by the sound of hanging bells ringing. As soon as I heard it, I knew that someone was galloping on a horse. In such a cold weather, there are still people who are in such a desperate hurry?

Zhang Zhonghu stood still, and looked at the road where the sound of horses' hooves came from, and it didn't take long for a while. I saw a horse galloping over, Zhang Zhongwat is a veteran, and he is also known for being familiar with mules and horses in this area. The Northland merchant merchants came to sell horses, and if there was any controversy about the horses and mules, they were all invited to his old man's decision. Although he can't ride, he doesn't know how many horses Zhang Zhonghu has handled in his life. At a glance, you can tell that this is the outstanding Bohai Sea horse in the north of Tongyi. At that time, the commander of Tongyunyi spent more than 100 yuan to buy it and keep it for his own use.

Horse-knighted, wearing a red fat jacket and a crimson jacket. And a white cape was draped in again. The cloak is inlaid with a circle of rabbit fur around the neck. Military boots and swords are exactly what military athletes look like. On his head he was wearing a mink hat, and the tail of the mink galloped with the horses, moving straight in the wind. This outfit is both powerful and vigorous, looking at the way he looks on the horse, this equestrian skill is not worse than those Tartars in the north!

In the blink of an eye, the knight went straight to Zhang Zhonghu, who was still standing at the door of the pavilion with a blank face. The knight asked, "That old man, but the soldier in the pavilion?" ”

Zhang Zhongwat sighed before he reacted. For some years, I have not seen such a majestic and strong military man on Hedong Road. Especially on this kind of winter day, Zhang Zhonghu was very stupid for a while. He coughed and defended his dignity: "I am the head of the pavilion here, and I am the commander of the strong and effective army." What kind of soldier is that? What kind of errand should you be on this cold day? ”

The knight jumped off his horse, sweating profusely, and did not wipe it first, but was busy loosening the belly belt of his mount. Zhang Zhongwat immediately had a good impression of this military man, he is a man who loves horses!

The mink knight didn't pay much respect to the so-called strong and effective army commander, but said: "I am the military envoy of the Shenwu Winning Army, and I am in a hurry to return to Beijing, and the paper card ticket is here." Since he is a museum official, he will quickly change a good horse and me. ”

He paused, then emphatically added, "The best horse!" ”

So saying, he took out the paperwork ticket wrapped in oiled paper from the pocket next to the saddle and handed it over. Zhang Zhongwat replied, and then he reacted, Shenwu often wins the army?

The weather hasn't cooled down yet, and the snow hasn't closed the road. The whole army of Shenwu Changsheng went north and also passed through the Taiping Station. Tens of thousands of troops and horses moved to the town, and how many mules and horses and vehicles accompanied the army made the Taiping Post lively for a while. People from all over came to see the excitement, the Shenwu Changsheng Army was well-equipped, the number of cavalry troops, and the strength of the soldiers were enough to make people here jaw-dropping. Zhang Zhonghu also has a good impression of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, one is that there is a strong army to guard the border, and these people naturally have a lot of sense of security. The second is that the Shenwu Changsheng army moved through the town here, ate the grain and rice, temporarily hired the husband, and supplemented some horses and mules, but let him do a lot of business, Rao is the people in the post station are only the middle people, in the middle is just to draw some stickers, and it is also one or two hundred full to the waist.

Zhang Zhonghu could not put on the official authority of a commander in the army in front of such a war-controlled military horse used by the imperial court to guard the border. At that moment, he turned around and roared, and suddenly several postmen came out to lead the horses to take care of them. Zhang Zhonghu glanced at the paperwork ticket hastily. It is the survey in the army, and Shenwu often wins the army to open the town, so he naturally has the power to use the post stations along the way to take care of the transmission of military information by virtue of the survey and cooperation in the army. The Privy Council will not extort the victorious army on this top, and will also award these surveys to the post stations along the way as a proof of comparison. Han Shizhong passed along the way, and also summoned these people who were in charge of the post along the way to explain and maneuver.

Zhang Zhonghu hesitated, and a smile appeared on his face: "Up and down, there are good horses, they are all dark horses." Seeing that you rode this mount, it is the best animal in the Tongyun Station, and you must know this reality as well............ Now among the post stations, how many official horses can there be? Even if there is, it is too old and weak to stand the drive............ If you want an official horse, you have nothing to say, don't want a penny, it's our due score. But if you want to be a good horse up and down, it's different. When I arrived at the next post, after changing horses, this weather, others had to raise it for a winter and then send it back, XS911 The forage money was counted in our accounts. And it's hurt, what do you say? The head deposit fee must be on top of this............ Rest assured, when you return home, as long as you ride back safely, you will return with a lot of money. We have been in charge of the post for decades, and we dare not smash our reputation. ”

The mink knight snorted, and his smile inevitably brought three points of sarcasm: "I changed horses all the way, and I was born in the Western Army back then, how did I not know what was going on?" How much money is written, although you open your mouth, there is only one case, if the horse is not good, I will make trouble! ”

As he spoke, he pressed the saber on his waist intentionally or unintentionally. This mink knight is a big man in the northwest, tall and long-armed, and full of fierce and agile energy. I don't know how many opponents I have killed in battle, so I naturally have a murderous aura. The saber on the waist is a sharp weapon at a glance. In the side pocket of the saddle there was also a riding bow and arrows in four sacks. The arrows are thick and sharp, and the trimmed tail feathers are also extremely long and broad. It is not a bow of more than three stones, so you can't make such a feather arrow.

This mink knight alone, it is estimated that the one hundred and ten box troops of this Taiping Post may not be his opponent. No wonder you dare to travel alone in this winter.

Zhang Zhonghu was taken aback, and hurriedly laughed: "The horse is good, the horse is good!" ”

He swallowed and foamed, and made a hard offer: "Bet the head 130 times, make the fee 15 times." The price, dare not deceive the up and down. ”

The knight in the mink smiled, and took off the saddle bag, and the bow bag and the slip pocket for the miscellaneous items were laid on the ground. There was also a pouch, which was carried on his shoulder, and he reached out and touched it, and asked: "Can you pay the money?" ”

Zhang Zhonghu hesitated, at this time he was as shrewd as an old man: "Xuanhe will pay the new money in the fifth year, and it will be discounted by five." Four years to pay the banknote, three folds. Four years ago, he was not charged. On the way back, I can only pay money. ”

The mink hat knight didn't say anything more, took out a stack of handover notes in the bag, and gave them to Zhang Zhongwat one by one. Zhang Zhongwat dipped his saliva and counted it clearly, and then beckoned to the post guards who were watching the excitement with their faces on the side: "Go and bring the broken green and be kicked by it carefully!" ”

After that, he looked at the mink-hat knight again, and saw that the bags in his pouch were bulging with the new banknotes of the year. I'm afraid there are not a thousand coherents. couldn't help but kindly persuade: "Up and down, this line carries so much money, but you have to be more careful." How can there be few people together? ”

The mink knight sneered, and his eyebrows raised: "Who let the military information be transmitted urgently, but still want our military town to post its own book?" If a few people were together, our Shenwu Changsheng Army would have been treated poorly by the imperial court, and 100,000 yuan of capital would have been sent out. For the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, send an emergency military situation, and the whole army will have to drink the wind with their mouths hung up! What kind of bird world, it is a sin to fight the royal border in a down-to-earth manner! ”

Zhang Zhonghu didn't dare to say anything, the Great Song Post Station System, except for the Western Army all the way, and the Pingyan emergency reconstruction and restoration, the others had long been dilapidated. There may be thousands of official horses in the account books, and I don't know if there are a hundred of them that are actually deposited. Whether it is a magistrate or a border military town, if you want to pass on any urgent things, you have to use the dark horses raised by these post stations, which is also a very important source of income for these post van troops. Everyone recognized this unspoken rule, and no one said a word.

But others are in the bitter cold land on the edge of the edge, and they go to the xs911 that has only risen in front of them, and it is said that the fierce Jurchen Tatar is extremely fierce. If you want to endure hardships, you have to fight wars, and you have to post money to pass on military information, Zhang Zhonghu, who makes a living from this, also feels a little ashamed of his face.

In the embarrassment, I had to find another topic: "Shenwu often wins the army, and the envoy fee for opening the town is 100,000?" Can't stop this? The army is heading north, and we are also watching. Tens of thousands of troops, tens of thousands of mules and horses, a day of people eat horses and chew as much as possible. It was also necessary to build the side walls of the fort and set up a large camp for the troops. What is 100,000 yuan? In this way, the upper and lower groups are also willing to go north? ”

The mink knight smiled coldly, and behind the smile, there was an indescribable pride: "There are always people who are willing to fight for this Great Song." There are still people who will do their best to take care of our warriors who are willing to fight! Lai in the capital, won't we become those waste forbidden army? Straight mother thief, our good men's fame and wealth are taken from the horse and passed on to their children and grandchildren, and our hearts are down-to-earth from generation to generation! Which of those characters who extorted us was in the eyes of more than 10,000 men fighting in our Shenwu Changsheng Army? But we only listen........."

Speaking of this, he quickly stopped his mouth and asked, "How come the changed horse has not yet come?" ”

While speaking, several innkeepers came with a big green horse. Being led by someone is still not very honest, not raising his head and making a burst of hiss. A long white breath is spewed. The postmen who led the horses were cautious and left the big green horse farther away.

Zhang Zhongwat also explained with a smile next to him: "This green horse has a broken temper, so it is called broken green." It's a little untamable, but the foot strength is excellent, I don't know if you can see it up and down? ”

But the knight in the mink hat liked the green horse at first sight, and went up to take the reins, and looked at the four hooves of the tooth and mouth, and pressed the horse's back to see how it was bearing. It's strange to say that this green horse has a great temper in the hands of others. In the hands of a murderous man, he was honest, and the horse's head was still rubbing against the mink knight, looking affectionate.

"This is a good horse that can go into battle, and with a little training, it will not be weak in the battle of the army. But being confined to this trough as a dark horse, how can he not have a temper? But I have to go and ask for some money, and buy it on the way back! ”

The knight of the mink hat complimented him, and beckoned to the postman to load his luggage pockets onto the green horse. and then retrieved the paper card ticket from Zhang Zhonghu's hand.

Zhang Zhonghu was old after all, so he couldn't help but persuade: "The sun has passed the middle of the day, just rest for a night in such weather." The mutton soup pot steamed cakes in the market are all good, and some of our post houses are also houses, wash them, and I will prepare clean bedding with people, and set off again tomorrow............ This accommodation money is naturally your own price, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

The mink-hatted knight turned over on his horse, tugged at the reins, and snorted: "The military situation is like fire, where can it be delayed?" Need to report to Bianliang early! Let Bianliang know that our Shenwu Changsheng Army is in the east border of the river, but we are not enjoying happiness, but we have to fight Si people to keep them happy in Bianliang City! ”

Zhang Zhongwat was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Don't dare to ask up and down, what kind of military situation is it?" ”

The mink hat knight groaned: "There's nothing to hide, it was originally to make the people in Bianliang jump up, knowing that our Shenwu Changsheng Army didn't take their 100,000 ............ for nothing."

Speaking of the three words of 100,000 guan, this mink knight was already full of sarcastic expressions.

As he spoke, he waved his hand resolutely, and his expression was already as solemn as iron: "The remnants of the Liao people are raising troops in the prefectures of Yunnei, harassing the border of Hedong Road from time to time, and the Jurchen army is also alarmed, and they are about to go south, and Hedong Road is about to encounter war............ Just a short-paid and unarmed Shenwu ever-victorious army, in front of them! We are not afraid of anything when we fight, but we have to let us fight with peace of mind! ”

As soon as he pulled the reins, the broken green slammed hiss, raised his hooves, and galloped towards the inevitable.

Hearing that the Jurchens were going south, Hedong Road was going to encounter war. Zhang Zhonghu was like a toad like a thunderbolt, standing there dumbfounded. It wasn't until the mink knight was far away that he jumped up and waved his hand to scold the post man who was also in a daze: "Hurry up and return all these money to the general!" When people fight, we have to have hearts! ”

The posters all replied with a bitter face: "Grandpa, how can you catch up?" ”

Zhang Zhonghu was frustrated, and couldn't help but silently pray in the direction of Bianliang. I hope that those who are in charge of Bianliang can understand that this is a great matter. Support the Shenwu Changsheng Army a little more, and transfer them along the way, to use them at this post station, it is also willing to be on an errand.

I couldn't help but feel a little unfair in my heart.

With such a strong army willing to defend the border, why does the imperial court have to treat it poorly? But I don't know, what kind of person is the person who takes care of this military horse behind it? I hope this person, the prince of all generations!

Straight lady thief, the Jurchen Tartars want to go south, but it is good to stop it!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The northern foot of the Wutai Mountains, in the northwest of Dai County, is the sun of the Hutuo River. After the Great Song Dynasty pacified the Northern Han Dynasty, there was originally a large battalion. In its heyday, there were more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry here, and cavalry accounted for about half. Relying on the Wutai Mountains, it is used as the apse of the border Yanxiao Xicheng, Tuyuan, Ruyue and other important fortress passes.

Advance can attack the flank of Wuzhou Shuozhou, and retreat to cover the important passage along the Hutuo River through the Wutai Mountains and into the depths of Hedong Road. In ancient times, marching and fighting, the whole sougeng was along the waterway. A daily demand for drinking water is huge, and it is difficult to move an inch without water. The second is that if the waterway has a certain width and depth, the weight of the conveying baggage is 100 times more convenient for land transportation. A waterway that could be used to transport supplies was enough to support a well-equipped army of tens of thousands of horses to attack in depth.

Historically, regardless of whether China or the West, where influential conference wars broke out, there were ten of them, all of which revolved around waterways.

With heavy troops in Dayingtun in Daizhou, it was difficult for the Liao people to cross the Wutai Mountains and go deep into the Hedong Road. Otherwise, they would have to detour from the Ninghua Army, the Lan Army, or even the Volcano Army in the west. But it was even more desolate, there was not much looting, and the people were strong. Several local towns are guarded by soldiers and horses, such as the Yanzhou Zhejia, and the Yang family of the Volcano Army are all generations of indigenous town generals, and they are not chewy and difficult to chew.

Even if you break through, you have to go around in a big circle before you can turn to the heart of Hedong Road. It is better to honestly pounce on the Yanmen area and break the Daizhou camp.

Because of this, the Daizhou camp is the key to the defensive system of the Hedong curb.

At the time of the tense war against Liao, half of the military resources occupied by the Hedong Road were in Zhulu in Hebei Province. The Daizhou battalion turned out to be a continuous military house, with beacons facing each other, tens of thousands of troops, and police posts shuttling back and forth. There have always been famous generals guarding the town.

With the alliance of Song Liao Yuanyuan, it took a hundred years. The Daizhou camp has become decadent. The elite guards were either transferred away, or ate vacancies. The military rations and equipment stored in the store were either diverted elsewhere or disappeared from the books in an unknown way.

The original huge Daizhou camp had collapsed walls, deserted barracks, collapsed beacons, and ditches. It has completely lost the ability to gather large soldiers.

It can be said that in the Xuanhe period, before the Shenwu Changsheng army went north. Da Song River East Road can be called completely unguarded.

(In the real history, Tong Guan and Yan, the army did not have a single soldier to march to the states of Yunnei.) After Yanjing was defeated by the Jurchens, the Liao people in the Yunnei Prefectures collapsed, and the Jurchen army did not directly enter the Yunnei Prefectures, but only nominally returned them to the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty never sent a single official or soldier to the states of Yunnei to exercise its rule.

After Pingyan, the Great Song Sougeng reorganized the defense of northern Xinjiang. That is, the Yandi was handed over to Guo Yaoshi, and Wang Yu was sent to lead the Shengjie army to settle in Taiyuan to talk about the defense. In the land on the edge, there is still not a single soldier. When the Jurchens went south, Guo Yaoshi of Hebei Zhulu surrendered, and the Jurchen military horses of Hedong Road easily penetrated, crossed the Wutai Mountains, plundered everywhere, and surrounded Taiyuan. The battle to destroy the country couldn't have been easier ————Oscar press)

At this moment, in the history of Xiao Yan's appearance. At the end of the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty, the Daizhou camp, which had been abandoned for decades, was a busy scene.

Refugees who went south and hired people from Daizhou, Zhen County, Fanzhi County, Yanmen County and other places. In winter, they dug trenches, took soil and rammed the walls, rebuilt the barracks, and built beacons. has rolled out a big scene, and near the left of Daizhou, there are tens of thousands of people rushing to work!

The people who went south also paid it back, and if there was food, it would be done. The local people hired from the Great Song Dynasty built in winter, but they did not succeed at a great price. In addition to eating a day, 200 wen is also indispensable. If you dig a pit and take the soil and ram it, you have to add money and two taels of good wine per person. With such treatment, not only the local labor force is empty, but people from all roads in Hebei have heard the news. A war against Yan made all roads in Hebei in an uproar, and life was hard, so it was better to come over and make some money.

The amount of grain and rice eaten by these tens of thousands of people every day is astronomical, and only a very small part of it can be used by the local government warehouse. And it is also designated for use in the military. You'll have to spend money on the rest. The grain and rice production on the edge of the eastern edge of the river is not abundant, and it has to be purchased in Taiyuan and other places in the south.

In addition to eating, there must also be a part of the stockpile. On this winter day, few people on the edge of the east edge of the river cut their doors at home for the winter. Or go to help, or go to sell grain. On the go.

The most ruthless thing in the world is money. A large sum of money was thrown down, and the entire place on the edge of the east of the river was moved. The local officials of the border prefectures and counties were also bribed to do their best to cooperate. Some of them are bold and eager to resell the entire Chang Ping position to the Shenwu Chang Shengjun.

With such a lively atmosphere, how could you have thought that when the Shenwu Changsheng Army left Bianliang, it would be such a deserted scene?

Dozens of horses, surrounded by a young general in a red cloak, galloped through the busy construction site. Those who were rushing to work either avoided the road or looked curiously. The young general also looked left and right, carefully watching the construction scene.

A knight suddenly said to the young general, "General Han has come out!" ”

The young general turned his head and saw that it was not Han Shizhong. He was dressed and greeted by the guards, dismounted from a distance, and with an affectionate smile on his face, he greeted loudly: "Pengju, you have worked hard!" ”

The person who came was Yue Fei. The advance team went north, arranged a qiē, renovated the most important Yanmen Village and Xicheng Village, and slept in the wind and food in the open for a month or two, and the face and hands were full of frostbite. It's just that his expression is still full of energy, and he hasn't lost half of his spirit.

The task of preparing defense along the border is too heavy and the time is also tight. Han Shizhong led the brigade to garrison Daizhou, and Yue Fei didn't come to meet until this moment, also because there was something important to discuss.

Yue Fei also jumped off the horse and greeted Han Shizhong with a smile. The two of them stood up hand in hand and walked side by side towards the tent of the temporarily set up Chinese military camp. Along the way, the soldiers and soldiers who were trained in Tunzha cāo watched Yue Fei salute affectionately. Everyone hangs alone in the east of the river, struggling to survive here, seeing their own families, there is indescribable affection.

Han Shizhong patted Yue Fei's shoulder and smiled: "Pengju, your hands and feet are so fast!" It is said that Yanmen Village and Xicheng Village already have a look, but it only cost more than 200,000 yuan, more than 1,000 horses, and 2,000 strong ............ Send them all! Practice well here, and then expand a few of his mother's commands. Within a year, how can we have more than 20,000 people in our Shenwu Victorious Army, half of them are cavalry, see who dares to underestimate us! ”

Although Yue Fei was upright, he would still say politely to Han Shizhong's praise: "Brother Liangchen leads the main force of the army, and the complicated places are more than ten times that of Fei?" This generation of state camps is so weather, how can ordinary people afford to run it? Fly is really admirable! ”

Han Shizhong waved his hand, full of momentum: "Take the money to smash, what can't be smashed?" There are very few people in the world who don't love money, at least not here............ Now it is only in the process of restoring the size of the camp. There is coal and iron here, and there used to be an ordnance supervisor who supplied the nearby Hedong military town. I hurry up and recover it, the new recruit is strong, there is something in the north of the horse, Dongchuan Wa is also constantly sending, iron armor weapons, in addition to the back transport, we also build a large number of mothers, armor and soldiers, and then hand it over to you Yue Invincible cāo practice............ If you want us to win the army, how can it be so easy? ”

Yue Fei hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Privately restore the military superintendent, this movement is not small............ These days, we collect grain and rice and consume storage reserves, and spend hundreds of thousands of yuan. A discerning person should be able to see that something is wrong............ Don't implicate Xiao Xianmo............"

Han Shizhong waved his hand with a big grin: "For a while, they just can see it, what is straight?" When the time comes, it's too late to beg us, Xiao Xianmo is also as safe as Mount Tai in Bianliang! Xian Mo's layout is really wonderful, today you Peng Ju came over, isn't it just for this matter? ”

While speaking, they had already walked in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and the guards were guarding the front layer, watching the two of them arrive, and they all saluted. Han Shizhong nodded at Yue Fei: "Let's talk about it in detail after entering the account!" ”

The two of them retreated left and right and walked into the tent of the Chinese army. The coal-fired stove had risen in the tent, and it was warm. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong both took off their cloaks. Yue Fei rubbed his hands and smiled: "These days are the warmest now. ”

Han Shizhong grinned at him: "Who made you invincible to the soldiers, and the self-suffering is even worse than the soldiers?" If I want to say, a general must have the bearing of a general, the rewards and punishments are fair, and if the command is determined, it is enough to lead his subordinates to win fame and wealth. I've been working so hard, I'm trying my best to climb up, what are you trying to do? ”

Yue Fei only smiled and didn't speak, and he didn't argue with Han Shizhong about this.

Han Shizhong said with a smile, and his expression was also solemn: "But for what the daughter-in-law of the Guo family and Zhen Liuchen did?" ”

Yue Fei nodded: "The son-in-law of the Guo family and Zhen Liuchen lead other departments, and they must stand firm and operate." I also want to enter Wuzhou Shuozhou and try my best to expand my strength, but if I can't say it, I have to alarm the Jurchen Tartars. When the time comes, this eastern border of the river will have to fight fiercely first. This is slightly different from what Xian Mo explained, and I can't be sure in my heart. Let's ask for a good brother............ And this is a big mess, the edge of the preparation has to be strengthened, to the big camp, ask the good ministers to add troops and generals, and also transport more military food, grain and grass, no matter what, always be prepared. ”

Han Shizhong snorted: "Doesn't Xiao Xianmo want to make a big fuss and make Bianliang shake?" The harder we fight here, the more stable he will be in Bianliang. so that it is convenient for him to follow up............ It's just that there is always something about the woman. The daughter-in-law of the Guo family acted for him, and Xian Mo was reluctant to say anything cruel, and he was a little reluctant to take too much risk for the daughter-in-law of the Guo family............ The important thing is that Lao Han, a bearded guy with a big face, led other departments to the north, and Xianmo couldn't wait for me to go straight to Xijing Datong Mansion and recruit all the Jurchen Tartars that the states of Yunnei could recruit! ”

He looked a little excited, and walked around the big tent of the Chinese army with his hands in his hands: "............ Fortunately, the daughter-in-law of the Guo family and the six ministers of the Zhen family saw things very clearly. The Jurchen Tartars were only entrenched in the Datong Mansion in Xijing, and the five prefectures of Shuo, Wu, Ying, Wei, and Hong in the west of Yunnei were not released. I also heard that Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Jurchen Western Army, escorted Yelu Yanxi, the last lord of the Liao people, to turn around the lair. It can be seen that there are not many troops, and it is time to make a big fuss. With the territory and the number, the banner of the remnants of the Liao people is scary enough. Recruit a small number of Jurchen Tartars, stir the land east of the river into a pot of porridge, and then scare the officials of Hedong Road, or even all the way to Bianliang. This is what Xianmo wants the most, and it is also the thing that is most in line with the interests of our Shenwu and Changsheng army! When the time comes, what will buy grain and grass, what will be the private weapons superintendent, what kind of thing is it? Who is impatient to talk about this? ”

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he simply danced with his hands, which showed that Han Shizhong was indeed holding back enough in Bianliang. When he arrived at the eastern edge of the river, which was far away, he regained his true character of Han Wu's lawlessness.

“………… I have already agreed on how to act with the daughter-in-law of the Guo family and Zhen Liuchen, and sent someone to return to Bianliang Xianmo quickly, just waiting for Xianmo to decide! My opinion is also attached to the top, and it is the big deal that enters the mother! On this, the Manifestation is naturally not allowed! You Yue Pengju must be prepared in advance, naturally it is very right, I will transfer troops for you, and also transfer military food and equipment. You're ready to fight these guys at any time............ The strong ones you recruit are transferred back first, and they are on the stable place for a while, and then transferred to let you take them to fight, so that the small scale of the fight for half a year, the new recruits will become a capable army. , in Bianliang everywhere to pretend to be grandchildren, our world, or over here, in front of the Tartars! ”

Yue Fei nodded silently, there were not many Jurchen Tartars in front of him, this was already an obvious thing. Let Guo Rong and Zhen Liuchen grow their momentum, attract a small number of Jurchen Tartars, and fight a controllable melee here, which is naturally an excellent thing for the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and for Xiao Yan's status in Bianliang, needless to say, I know how big the help is. On this, he naturally supported Guo Rong and them, as well as Han Shizhong, who was almost violent.

But I don't know why, I always feel a little awkward.

Han Shizhong finally calmed down, looked back at Yue Fei seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Pengju, this is for the Xianmo, for my Shenwu often victorious army, for the future Great Song Dynasty will have such a capable army!" ”

Yue Fei took a breath and nodded: "Liangchen, I naturally know the severity. How can I not obey what he commands? You can rest assured. ”

Han Shizhong nodded, and suddenly laughed strangely: "I can't guess how Xian Mo behaves in Bianliang." But here, I want to vent my anger and scare these guys. That bird Wu appeased, and only when he arrived in Taiyuan, I wanted to let his soul not possess his body. Let him deal with our martial forces again! ”

Yue Fei didn't speak, and turned his head to look south. Xian Mo's layout is like this, how much wind and rain will he stir up in Bianliang City? I don't know why, there is always a trace of trepidation in Yue Fei's heart. But thinking about the future war, he couldn't help but feel his blood surge.

Han Shizhong is right, only facing the land of the Tartars on this edge is where he Yue Fei is most comfortable. He just has to fight steadfastly, and leave other things to Xiao Xianmo!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Bianliang City South Xun Gate outside Xiao Yan Farewell Courtyard.

Recently, it has been idle and cold, and Xiao Yan has nothing else to do. Just go to bed early. The little mute played a whirlwind with him for a while before going to bed, and finally pouted and went back to the room. Xiao Yan couldn't help but decide, when the game he laid out was final, he would definitely marry the little mute into the door!

This sleep was not very heavy, and between half dreams and half awakenings, it seemed that he had been waiting for the wind and clouds to come from the north. The Bianliang chess game has been arranged, just waiting for the news from the north, where he can't settle down in person. I don't know if Guo Rong is there, is she doing well, can she bear such a heavy burden?

I don't know what time it was, he was suddenly woken up by Zhang Xian's low voice: "Xianmo wake up, Xianmo wake up!" ”

Xiao Yan turned over and got up, his eyes shining brightly, as if he was not asleep at all: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Xian said in a low voice: "People from the north." ”

Xiao Yan was stunned, rubbed his face vigorously, stood up and put on his shoes and left: "Where is it?" Take me to see you! ”

He was also a little apprehensive in his heart, someone from the north must have come to the news of the layout. But I don't know if the situation laid out there, thousands of miles away, is still in line with my own heart!

Zhang Xian carried the lantern, led Xiao Yan to turn a few corners, and came to his inner study. In the study, there was a light like a bean, and a big man sat there, wearing a mink hat. Seeing Xiao Yan coming, he immediately jumped up and saluted.

This man Xiao Yan naturally recognized that he was one of his right-hand men in the mink hat, and it was the one who had met with the old post Zhang Zhongwat and spread all the way to imply that the Jurchen army was going south. His name is Chen Bin, born in the Shengjie Army, he has already achieved the position of a battalion of Yuhou envoys, and he led a capital of forty horsemen in the Shengjie Army. This is naturally his cleverness, and Xiao Yan's most descendant team is the Yue Fei people he knew at the beginning. He joined halfway through the victorious army, and it was not easy to go back. If you want to rise in the future, you can only become Xiao Yan's cronies. The mink hats around the attendants are all guards and are no longer cronies, who else can be?

Such characters can not only fight, but also have experience in leading the army. More scheming. How there is no chance of great use. This time, the Shenwu Changsheng army went north. Xiao Yan picked a new group of people from the army to enrich the mink hat. Chen Bin was released, and Han Shizhong immediately used it to lead a horse army commander. The commanders of the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Horse Army are all full of three hundred and fifty horsemen. This time, he sent him back to deliver the message in person, which shows how important the information he brought was.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was not talking nonsense, after saluting, Chen Bin took out the letter from his personal body and presented it with both hands. Xiao Yan took it, nodded at him and smiled, then tore open the letter and looked at it carefully by the light. Chen Bin and Zhang Xian were on the side, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Chen Bin also gave up, but Zhang Xian looked at Chen Bin's eyes hot. We are shrinking our hands and feet in Bianliang, you guy, you can put on your mink hat in a grand manner. But I don't know what day I'm going to survive in Bianliang!

I don't know how long it took for Xiao Yan to read this short letter word by word. After pondering for a long time, he said lightly to Chen Bin: "You have worked hard, go down to rest first and have a good meal." And then I will work with you a little bit, and bring back my reply as much as possible. Say a word to Han Wu again, what does he want, I fully support it! ”

Chen Bin saluted again: "How can you talk hard?" For the sake of the Manifestation of the Force, do not give up! ”

Chen Bin led Zhang Xian to settle down, but Xiao Yan was a little unstable in the study. Walk outside and breathe in the icy night breeze. At this moment, his heart also shook.

The two layouts, thousands of miles apart, have already been completed. A great tide is about to be set off in his hands. Until the most profound Great Song that shook this time and space!

I have already been ready, and since I came to Bianliang, I have tried my best to deal with it and come up with a whole body solution. This is the moment that we are waiting for! （。
