Guan Duo did not send Deng She to be the vanguard of the attack on southern Liaoning, nor did he order him to transfer Pyongyang's military horses to cooperate in the battle. It was only required that Deng She must subordinate the army to the banks of the Yalu River within half a month.

Among the three defenders, the way to defend Shenyang is even more important than the two roads of Weisijian and Liaoxi, because it is close to Liaoyang and the closest to southern Liaoning. The position is so important, Guan Duo obviously will not only hand over this important task to Deng She's army, and it is Liaoyang that plays the main role in containment. In other words, the command post trapped in Shenyang was not located along the Yalu River, but in Liaoyang.

The command post was in Liaoyang, and Deng She, who was the nominal commander, was naturally left behind by Guan Duo Guangming.

The commander of the four-way army is decided, and the next step is the specific distribution of troops. Every general who was present took turns to take the order; The officials in charge of baggage and rations verified the number of the armies and divided the areas of responsibility. The specific date of the army, Guan Duo did not say; The armies are only required to prepare as soon as possible.

The details were complicated, and it was not until late at night that the military discussion ended.

Before the end, Guan Duo did something that Deng She greatly admired. He invited the portraits of King Xiaoming and Liu Futong, burned incense with his hands, led hundreds of generals to line up in the courtyard, knelt on the ground, pointed to the night sky and swore that he would be inseparable from Chakhan Timur; If he can't save the lord, he will just die.

Speaking of the future, he burst into tears with excitement, thinking of the pain of King Xiao Ming's bumps, and he almost cried. A piece of loyalty, the sun and the moon can be seen, and the end is moving. Many people were moved to tears by him, and Deng She had to cry with him.

The farce was over, and the military council was dismissed.

Deng She rubbed the red circles under his eyes and walked out of the house. The guards prepared their torches, and the generals took them off, brought back their weapons, and hurried back to their palaces. Deng She stood outside the door and waited for a while, but he didn't see Fang Buzhen, he was a Wenchen, and he walked behind with disdain and the generals.

Deng She looked up at the sky, the moonlight was very good tonight, like the light of the water slanting down, and the wind blowing on the face was warm and a little cool. A few stars are set in the blue sky, like diamonds on goose down, shining brightly. Countless shaking torches reflected the bluestone road, and the mansions on the side of the road flickered brightly and darkly, just like Deng She's mood at this time, with the comfort that everything was under control, but also the worry that there would be changes at some point.

Guan Duowei is famous, and through a few days of contact, his scheming is even deeper. Although so far, Guan Duo's step-by-step measures to win himself over, fight southern Liaoning, and defend Shenyang are still under control, but Deng She does not believe that it will always be like this. Just like playing chess, if you can see the opponent's three-board axe in advance, you can become a master. Deng She had a hunch, and his prediction ended here, and Guan Duo would finally jump out of the market.

The ancients said: If you are wise, you are close to a demon. Whether it is him or Hong Jixun, who compares himself to Kong Ming, he is not a demon after all. It is foreseeable that not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, sooner or later, one day, Guan Duo will make a surprise move and make a move that he did not expect, which caught him off guard.

What should I do when I arrive? Dunshe muttered, "It's time to speed up." "The people at the gate of the mansion are gradually thinning, the generals are gradually gone, and Fang Fuzhen is still nowhere to be seen. Two or three civil officials walked past Deng She, one of them was wearing a scarlet official robe, not tall, with a small head and big ears, which was good-sounding, called "ears can hang shoulders", and popular, called "attractive ears".

This person spoke at the military meeting, and Deng She remembered that it was Li Aguan's husband who ,—— Li Dunru in the left and right Shilang. He didn't care about Fang Buzhen, so he hurriedly took a few steps, arched his hand, and said, "Master Li." ”

Li Dunru turned his head, was stunned, nodded back, and said, "Manager Deng." Several people around him were officials from the left and right divisions, said hello, and went first. Li Dunru said goodbye to his colleagues, and at the same time, he kept his feet and asked Deng She: "Why hasn't Mr. Deng left yet, are you waiting for someone?" ”

Deng She followed him and said with a smile as he walked: "I only went to visit Lord Li's mansion in the morning, and my lord is busy with official business, so I didn't see it." ”

Li Dunru said: "The war is imminent, and the heavy grain and grass need to be prepared in advance. Mr. Deng came to the lowly mansion, and he was also told that he should have paid a return visit, but he really couldn't get away. …… I don't know Mr. Deng, what's the matter? ”

Deng She said with a smile: "It's nothing, I have long admired the calligraphy and painting of my lord, although I am a military general, I am also a vassal and elegant, and I have a treasure mountain in front of me, so I can't go back empty-handed." I want to ask the adults for a treasure. ”

"Calligraphy and painting are unique" is pure flattery. After all, Li Dunru was a literati, and Deng She inquired that he didn't have many hobbies, so he was good at writing two words and drawing two strokes. He wanted to ease the relationship with the Li family, and he couldn't help but get itchy.

Li Dunru was not very happy, frowned, and said, "The chief manager praises it, but I really don't dare to take it." The level of the idea of the lowly position, it is just a pastime and a pleasure to entertain himself, and he can't take it. Deng She smiled: "Why should you be modest? All the generals I know are full of praise for the calligraphy and painting of adults. ”

Li Dunru glanced at Deng She and said, "Since the chief manager said so, stay idle, draw it and frame it, and send it to the governor's mansion in person." How is it? Deng She was overjoyed and arched his hand: "I am overjoyed to be able to get the adult Mobao, I thank you in advance." When the time comes, I will go and pick it up myself, and I will thank you by the way. ”

Li Dunru said lightly: "There is no need to thank you. The manager is young and promising, and it is an honor to be able to see the paintings of the humble position. He shook his head and said, "The manager walks slowly, there are still some things to do, go first." Leave. ”

Deng She returned the salute and watched him go away. Li Dunru's attitude, from beginning to end, is lukewarm, which can be understood as neither humble nor arrogant, but how to look at it, how to look at it, how to feel like a mustard. Deng She had already thought about it, and it was his own business to try to redeem it, should he not be in this situation of the other party, and the fault was not in him, he smiled, and found that he had walked out of two streets away, and Bi Qianniu was waiting not far ahead.

Deng She strode over, Bi Qianniu greeted him, and said in a low voice: "General, there is a report from the house, and a letter from Shuangcheng has arrived." Deng She turned over and said, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

In the night, the group walked slowly, and after two steps, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind them. Before coming to Liaoyang, Chen Hu and Hong Jixun repeatedly told Bi Qianniu not to take it lightly, holding down the handle of the knife, and the soldiers surrounded Deng She in the middle in an orderly manner.

After doing all this, everyone looked back. When four or five knights approached, one person was the first, with bright helmet and bright armor, clearly a general, and shouted loudly: "Isn't it Brother Deng who is walking in front?" "But it is an old friend of Deng San, who lives in tens of thousands of households, and has visited Deng She a few days ago, and Deng She has also visited back, named Hu Zhong.

Deng Sheren restrained his mount, motioned for his soldiers to disperse, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Uncle Hu, I thought I was the last to leave, but I didn't expect you to be later than me." ”

"Late?" Hu Zhong urged the horse to come over, looked left and right, there were few people on the street, far ahead, it was Li Dunru who had just walked away, he said, "I have specially stayed and waited for you." Deng She smiled and said: "What's the matter, tell your subordinates to give an order, and your nephew must come to the door in person, and wait?" ”

Hu Zhong said hesitantly: "This is not a place to speak, little brother Deng, you come with me." ”

Bi Qianniu pulled Deng She's shirt, and his eyes glanced at the swords on Hu Zhong and the few riders behind him, although he didn't speak, his meaning was revealed. Deng She ignored him, and vaguely guessed Hu Zhong's intention, although this moment came a little early, he was also prepared, and said with a smile: "Uncle Hu has a call, dare not obey the order?" ”

Hu Zhong rushed forward to lead the way, looking for the alley path to walk, the road is narrow and narrow, and the dense houses block the moonlight, and it is dark. What's more, Hu Zhong told them to extinguish the torches again, and they couldn't see the road more and more clearly. Bi Qianniu was worried and couldn't persuade Deng She to go back, so he only secretly ordered his soldiers to be on guard.

Deng She didn't care, and gradually walked skewed, passing by a place from a big house to a low house, all the way, no one was seen. The black light turned around for a long time, and when they came to the small gate house, two or three people greeted them, took away their mounts, and Hu Zhong said: "Here it is." Brother Deng, please first. Stop Bi Qianniu, "Respect the guards, stay outside." ”

How could Bi Qianniu agree? Deng She nodded: "Guests are as they please, listen to Uncle Hu's arrangement." Bi Qianniu was anxious and said, "General! Deng She waved his hand: "Uncle Hu's name, you don't know, he is known for his courage and good fighting, and his command is full of elite soldiers, give you a chance, and learn from others." ”

Hu Zhong smiled and said, "Come less, little brother Deng, hold me?" Or is it a loss? Compared to your tiger ben, those things under my hands are a feather. "Tell the guards," take the personal soldiers of Chief Deng to rest on the opposite side, and entertain them with good wine and meat. ”

Bi Qianniu had no choice but to go down, and a few soldiers took them to the opposite courtyard. No matter how good the wine and meat are, he is like chewing wax, and the sword does not leave his body, no matter how enthusiastic people persuade him to drink, he only up his ears and listens to the sound over there.

In the courtyard over there, led by Hu Zhong, Deng She came to a side room. There was an oil lamp inside, and under the dim light, there were already three or four people waiting. Seeing Deng She come in, they got up one after another, and as expected, they were all miscellaneous sidelines. 10,000 households, 3,000 households.

"I've seen the Steward." With Hu Zhong with them, the five of them fell to their knees.

Deng She pretended to be surprised, hurriedly helped him up, and said, "What are you doing, uncles, please get up quickly, please get up quickly, and kill the little nephew." "They are all old friends of Deng San, and they call themselves little nephews, which is a matter of course.

Hu Zhong changed his title and said solemnly: "Today, we are looking for Manager Deng for official business, and we can't mess with the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels." Several people insisted on bowing to the ground, but Deng She couldn't pull them down, so he simply bowed down with them. After the salute, they stood up.

Hu Zhong asked Deng She to take a seat, Deng She repeatedly humbled them, but he couldn't resist them, so he had to be rude, sat up, looked at the furnishings of the wing, and said: "This place is strange, if Uncle Hu brings his little nephew, it is really difficult to find." But which uncle's private house? ”

In Liaoyang City, the places where the officers lived were all divided into districts, with 10,000 households living together and 1,000 households living together, with clear class distinctions. Depending on the official position, the location of residence and the size of the mansion are clearly specified. Although there are a small number of people who live in the area under the jurisdiction of 10,000 households, or thousands of households who live in the area of 10,000 households, most of them are the descendants and cronies of the Pingzhang, which is also a special favor. But there is no such thing as a free system that can be inhabited at will.

Hu Zhong said: "Yes, I can't hide it, this place is a foreign house of mine." You also know that there is a tigress in my family, and the beautiful women who are honored by the sons and daughters can't bring it home, so they have no place to place it, so they simply put it here. As soon as the words came out, several people smiled.

Deng She smiled: "However, the Goryeo woman who gave Uncle Hu a few days ago is also here?" Hu Zhong laughed: "If you have a strict wife, you will definitely get rich." It's not a shame, the beauties sent by the manager are indeed different, and they are very ecstatic. ”

After a few words of gossip, Hu Zhong's face turned straight and said, "Do you know what the manager is inviting you for?" ”

Deng She remained silent and said, "Just about to ask, Uncle Hu, please speak." ”

Hu Zhong said: "In the army in the past, I and your father-in-law had the same smell, although I never bowed eight times, but I was also looked down upon by your father-in-law, and called a brother." And although you are now in a high position, you have not forgotten us like those powerful children. Uncle Yu will also ask you to be a good nephew. He was originally a Hebei drama thief, so there is a saying that "the smell is similar". Deng She said: "That's exactly how it should be. ”

Hu Zhong got up and opened the door, the moonlight outside the door reflected in, dispelling a little darkness, the shadows of the trees outside the door swayed, and at a glance he saw the gate of the mansion, the courtyard was quiet and empty. Deng She thought to himself: "Sure enough, the old rivers and lakes. "When you open the door and talk, sometimes it's more confidential than when you close it.

Hu Zhong fell back to his seat, very serious, looked at Deng She, and said, "Virtuous nephew, do you know that you are about to come to a catastrophe?" Deng She looked surprised and asked, "Why did Uncle Hu say this?" Hu Zhong said: "Today's military discussion, why did Guan Pingzhang mobilize your Shuangcheng military horses, but left you in Liaoyang?" ”

"What does Uncle Hu think?"

"Not bad! Virtuous nephew, this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and kill people with a knife! Guan Pingzhang coveted your Goryeo for more than one day, why are you so stupid, you don't do your Guanbei king well, what are you doing in Liaoyang? Hu Zhong was heartbroken, patted his thigh, and said, "Aren't you throwing yourself into a dead end?" Alas, what do you call Uncle Fool to say about you? ”

"The lord is in trouble, the holy decree has been sent to the twin cities, and the little nephew doesn't know it, since he knows, how can he not come to the rescue?" Deng She was stunned and said, "Guan Pingzhang is the official of the little nephew, and Gaoli is under the jurisdiction of Liaoyang." Having said that, Liaoyang and Goryeo are the lands of the Great Song Dynasty, you and I, everyone are the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, Uncle Hu, you think too much, why do you want to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and borrow a knife to kill people? ”

Hu Zhong hated that iron could not become steel, and said: "You, you! Virtuous nephew, you are too naïve! You know what? When he first joined the army, Uncle Yu had more than 5,000 horses? How many are left now? You know what? Deng She said: "Uncle Hu is a 10,000-strong household, so he has to say three or four thousand, right?" ”

Hu Zhong shook his head again and again: "Three or four thousand? Virtuous nephew, you don't know ,......" stretched out two fingers and said with a wry smile, "Less than two thousand." ”

Deng She was really taken aback, before leaving Fengzhou, he had also seen Hu Zhong, at that time, he had no more than four thousand under his hands, but it would not be less than three thousand. It's only been two or three months, how can there be so many layoffs? No wonder they hurriedly made an appointment to meet them, and they were their vanguard in fighting southern Liaoning, afraid that after this battle, Hu Zhong would not even have a thousand.

Hu Zhong said: "Fengzhou was defeated, Guan Pingzhang fled all the way west, and all the people who followed him were his descendants, and Uncle Yu was left behind as a palace army. Polo Na was really vicious, and he chased after him, and in just one battle, hundreds of brothers were killed. It's easy to escape with his life, he came to Liaoyang from above, and he did a few battles on the road, and every time Uncle Yu is either a pioneer or a broken queen, he loses his troops and loses his generals, and he can keep the remaining 2,000 people, which is already good. Gritted his teeth and scolded a few words, but I don't know whether to scold Tartar or Guan Duo.

Deng She was silent, Hu Zhong pointed to a few people present, and said: "Uncle Yu is okay, your uncles: Liu Daqing, higher than Uncle Yu's position, tens of thousands of households, what kind of prominent Shanxi wicker battalion did you think back then, when you joined the army, there were nearly 10,000 people, what now?" Less than 3,000 people. The two of us are still like this, not to mention these thousands of adults. "There is a joke in the words, let me have fun in the bitterness.

Those thousands of households scolded and scolded, one of them said: "Don't be afraid of the jokes of virtuous nephews, look at my name, there are thousands of households on dog days, and there are less than 400 brothers under seven or eight hundred brothers, which is not as good as a thousand households under the old relationship!" ”

He is all from the green forests of Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi, and in terms of friendship, he is a little far away from Deng San, but he is also a miscellaneous brand, and compared with others, he is also close. Before Liu Daqing joined the army, he made a ringing horse, and later followed the flow of the team to rebel, and was prominent for a while, known as the wicker battalion. Guan Duo passed through Shanxi and co-opted him, or it could be called annexed him. He joined the army not voluntarily, and he was forced to be helpless, who called Guan Duo powerful?

Deng She said: "I see. The uncles have worked hard and made great achievements, and when the siege of Liaoyang is lifted, it is expected that Guan Pingzhang will be rewarded. Don't worry, by then, the number of soldiers will be small, are you afraid of making up for it? ”

Liu Daqing was in his forties, with a fleshy face and a scar on his forehead that reached under his ear. He jumped up, spat thickly on the ground, and scolded: "Make up for a bird!" Lao Tzu's army of more than 6,000 people, last year's Chuzhou, Lao Tzu's vanguard, Lao Guan's waste material, was copied by Chakhan Timur, and Lao Tzu lost thousands of people in Tieqi Valley.

"In October, Datong was the pioneer of Lao Tzu; At the end of the year, hit the capital, okay, see the oil and water, don't want Lao Tzu to be a pioneer, change his mother's return to Mao Jujing, and go to Daning! Mao Jujing is a dog's day, hundreds of prison officials, holding a knife holder Lao Tzu around the neck to force Lao Tzu to attack the city, don't you treat Lao Tzu as a human being? Lao Tzu's son is fucking cannon fodder! Lao Tzu, ,......" said excitedly, phlegm stuck in his throat and eyes, coughed for a long time, spit out, and made up, "* Grandma! ”

Hu Zhong said: "You are calm, you are calm." Tell you not to get angry all the time, the anger is big, the false fire rises, it is easy to get mouth sores, bad breath, and phlegm! Liu Daqing glanced at him, sat down hatefully, and said: "If it weren't for the impassability of the road to the south, Lao Tzu would have been fucking bullshit!" ”

The wind is tight,, this black sentence, Deng She has not heard it for a long time. He sighed and said, "When Uncle Liu said this, it reminded my little nephew of what my father-in-law said in the past, the longer the battle lasts, the fewer the old brothers." ”

Hu Zhong said: "Why! Virtuous nephew, think about your horse thieves, the great majesty of the past, what about now? How many people are left? You're just stupid, you don't understand? Guan Pingzhang made it clear that he would take us as pawns, and we would be the first to do the work of sending us to death, and we would be the first to stand aside for the work of distributing oil and water.

"Don't look at Guan Pingzhang's incense case today, and he swears to Tianming, the savior of bullshit! If he wants to be saved, will he wait until today? It's all for us to watch the show, and it's you who are naïve, hot-blooded, and deeply involved in the WTO! Why did he entrap you? Since you came to Liaoyang, you have feasted every day, why? Isn't it your territory? Now it's leaking, right? and transferred your people, and put you under house arrest, and did not let you go, and you still spoke for him. ”

Hu Zhong sighed repeatedly, said earnestly, and said, "Our masters, it is Cheng Cheng!" Eat a trench and grow wise, virtuous nephew, you have to learn to be smarter. ”

After going around in circles for a long time, Deng She was a little tired, he didn't use his brain less for a day today, and he didn't rest during the military discussion. It is estimated that the heat is about the same, he frowned and asked, "What does Uncle Hu mean?" ”

"Virtuous nephew, uncle's front car is your aftermath. Uncle Fool has no other meaning, I advise you to have more eyes. Find a way to go back to Goryeo. Hu Zhong raised his eyes and looked at Deng She, and said, "It's not that Uncle Fool is alarmist, if you don't hurry up, look, in less than a month, your idea will at least be tossed by Guan Pingzhang!" Have you ever thought about it? ”

"Shenyang,...... It's not very likely, it's not likely. ”

"It's not big now, what about after fighting Liaonan? Liaonan and Liaoyang are connected into a line, can Guan Pingzhang still stay in Shenyang and not fight? The people who transferred you are just to surround Shenyang? Sooner or later, you have to do it, your people must be pioneers, and they can't run! ”

Fighting southern Liaoning, Guan Duo did not ask Deng She to interfere; Fighting Shenyang, it is also very unlikely that Deng She will intervene. These two places are connected with Goryeo, and it is easy to send troops, but it is too late for Guan Duo to suppress him, and he will not go out of the mountains. Dunshe's heart skipped a beat, and another possibility came to mind. That's what he and Hong Jixun think is the worst possibility.

Now it seems that Guan Duo doesn't need him to fight southern Liaoning, he walks clearly "stewed frogs in warm water", and has a steady and steady posture, Deng She has no way to "worry first and then rejoice", but is very likely to "be happy first and then worry". He looked at the few people in front of him, combined, they were only six or seven thousand people, and their combat power was also low, but they had finally taken the first step towards the best situation.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. The worst and the best, for now, are only "on paper", and the result depends on the "bow". If you survive in the cracks, how can you get it if you don't do it?

Deng She said: "It's not that Uncle Hu mentioned it, the little nephew really didn't expect this section." But even if this uses the little nephew as the vanguard to fight Shenyang, I don't say anything, I just respect my orders. But a few uncles, listening to you, it seems to ......" He paused, and before he could finish his sentence, he asked worriedly, "I wonder what the uncles are planning?" ”

Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing glanced at each other, Hu Zhong cleared his throat, looked out a few times, and said: "The foolish uncle's plan doesn't need to be mentioned first, dare to ask the virtuous nephew, do you have any plans to return to Goryeo?" ”

Dunshe was silent. Hu Zhong thought he had guessed Deng She's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Isn't the virtuous nephew afraid that he won't be able to leave?" It doesn't matter, although the foolish uncles have few soldiers, they can also play a role at critical moments. There are many generals in the army who are similar to the foolish uncles, and the words of the virtuous nephews will inevitably follow. If the virtuous nephew is willing, the foolish uncle is willing to be a pioneer for the virtuous nephew, and tomorrow he can go to find out what they mean. ”

Liu Daqing said: "Although we are miscellaneous foreign products, we don't eat popular goods, we can afford one or two hundred thousand people, but the virtuous nephew wants to go, who dares to stop it, we dare to kill a bloody road." No matter how you say it, you have to keep your nephew safe and sound. ”

Hu Zhong said: "Not bad. Virtuous nephew, what do you think, in one word! ”

At this juncture, you can't fake, people say all these things, and then it will be too much. As for whether they were sent by Guan Duo to tempt them? Deng She can't trust Liu Daqing, he can trust Hu Zhong, don't look at Liu Daqing's bloody scolding of Guan Duo, not as much as Hu Zhong's hatred of Guan Duo. Hu Zhong's son died in the battle of Tieqi Valley, not at the hands of the enemy, but because of the collapse of the battle, he rushed into the camp of the Chinese army, and was killed on the spot by Guan Duo, who had strict military discipline.

Hu Zhong is nearly fifty years old, and he has only one son under his knees, and he is the one who has lost his son in old age and mourned in life. He has no brothers, and the Hu family is broken off when he sees it. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. He has a Hedong lion in his family, and he is still desperately taking concubines outside, to put it bluntly, doesn't he just want another son?

Deng She can even assert that at the moment, this group of people is Hu Zhong who has pulled it up. Surrendering to himself is 100% also proposed by Hu Zhong. Those thousands of households have few officials and are not qualified; Liu Daqing has a hot temper, he is not a dog that can bite people, except for Hu Zhong, there is no one else. Didn't you look at today, is it always him who speaks?

Deng She said gratefully: "The uncles are thoughtful for the little nephew, and the little nephew is grateful. If there is any use for the little nephew, please feel free to explain. ”

Grand Duke Hu Zhong was selfless and said: "The foolish uncles did this, one is to take care of the friendship with Brother Deng, and the other is to lay down Goryeo for the sake of the virtuous nephew, and fight for our miscellaneous players." Why can others show off their might, but we have to keep our voices down? Deng She nodded yes, Hu Zhong changed his words and said, "If you want to talk about selfishness, there are also some." ”

He stopped and looked at Deng She's expression. Deng She was awe-struck and said, "Although Uncle Hu said that the little nephew can do it, he will never shirk it." "Don't beg me to bring a large army over, take advantage of his civil strife and kill Guan Duo." "In any case, it can't be done.

Hu Zhong sighed and said: "Just like your father-in-law said, the more battles you fight, the fewer old brothers, and the foolish uncles have only one request, when the virtuous nephew returns to Goryeo, if you can bring the foolish uncles with you to save the lives of the remaining old brothers, your wish is fulfilled." ”

Deng She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Hu cherishes his brother and pays attention to righteousness, and his little nephew is convinced." Rest assured, uncles, this is a trivial matter. The uncles want to go to Goryeo, to be honest, the little nephew is still not invited, the twin cities are willing to share with the uncles. ”

Hu Zhong and the others were overjoyed, knelt down again, and changed the title of Deng She again, Hu Zhong took the lead and said: "The general is above, and the villain will wait for a worship." "The general is an official position, and the general is a more personal title, as if he is under the command of Deng She.

Deng She bowed to them, stretched out his hand to help him up, and then sat down again, and they were different from each other. Deng She said: "Uncle Wen and Uncle Chen are both in Goryeo, if you know that your uncles are going, I don't know how happy you will be." ”

Hu Zhong said: "In the army in the past, whenever the villain drank with the general's father-in-law, there were many Wen and Chen, and General Wen's amount of alcohol was really good, and he always filled the villain and fled." Ha ha. ”

Deng She also laughed a few times, chatted for a while, and then turned back to the topic and said, "Contact old friends, how much does Uncle Hu have plans?" ”

Hu Zhong patted his chest and said: "The villain has no other strengths, only one, easy to make friends." The descendants of the three Pingzhang don't dare to say that they are ordinary miscellaneous and have many contacts. The villain also knows their situation very well, and they all complain. He assured, "Within ten days, at least 20,000 troops and horses will be contacted for the general." ”

It's also the limit, and there are not 30,000 people in total. The combat strength of 20,000 people, discounted, can top the Shangguan Duo line 10,000 is good. But if it was a clear sword and a gun, it suddenly caused chaos, and the success was much bigger.

Deng She said: "That's very good. The little nephew does not hide it from your uncles, and the little nephew came to Liaoyang, in addition to the holy decree, there is another purpose. Hu Zhong said: "Oh? General, please speak. Deng She said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the Tartars are powerful, approaching Liaoyang." If Liaoyang loses, Uncle Hu, our twin cities will be under great pressure. ”

Hu Zhong nodded yes. Shuangcheng and Liaoyang play the same banner, and then there is internal fighting, when facing foreign enemies, one loss and one glory.

Deng She said: "Therefore, the crisis in Liaoyang is incomprehensible, and the little nephew does not plan to return to Goryeo for the time being." Hu Zhong was calm, Liu Daqing was anxious, and he was about to jump up again, Hu Zhong grabbed him and shouted: "In front of the general, you must not be rude!" His official son was lower than Liu Daqing, but Liu Daqing obeyed him and endured it and sat down.

Deng She said: "Uncle Liu doesn't have to worry, listen to the little nephew finish speaking." Uncle Liu is worried, and the little nephew is clear. Don't worry, although we won't go back for the time being, we will go back sooner or later. Liu Daqing couldn't hold it back and asked, "What about Liaonan?" ”

Deng She smiled and said, "To fight Liaonan, my uncle just needs to be a pioneer." There are only 10,000 or 20,000 slaves in the Gao family, so it is not difficult to fight. He knew that Liu Daqing was worried that his strength would continue to be damaged, so he analyzed it for everyone, "The focus of fighting southern Liaoning is actually not in southern Liaoning; In the other three roads, that is to say, if there is a vicious war or a big war, it will not appear in southern Liaoning, but will appear in the side of Wei Sijian, the side of western Liaoning, or even the side of Shenyang.

"Why is Guan Pingzhang willing to transfer his headquarters to fight southern Liaoning, and let Pan and Liu's descendants defend? It is this verse that is seen. The reason why Pan and Liu acquiesced was that first, their main forces were all in the side of Wei Sijian and Liaoxi, and it was natural to accept this task; Second, Guan Pingzhang is also responsible for the important task of clamping down on Shenyang, which side will there be a big war? Before it appeared, no one knew, and it was fair.

"Therefore, uncles don't have to worry, even if it won't be easy to fight southern Liaoning, there will never be hard bones."

Hu Zhong nodded again and again, Liu Daqing and the others disagreed, and Deng She said categorically: "Despite this, if there is a war, there will be casualties." Don't worry about the uncles, the fallen soldiers, Guan Pingzhang will not make it up to you, and the little nephew will make it up to you. ”

Liu Daqing pursed his lips, obviously not believing. Deng She said: "Do your uncles know Luo Guoqi, Monk Li, and Guan Shirong?" "Monk Li, they know, the famous monk team, Deng She continued, "Monk Li is now under my command, you should hear about it." General Li is brave and good at fighting, and since Yongping, he has made many meritorious achievements, and now, he has several generals in my twin cities. A few days ago, the messenger of the twin cities came, and mentioned that he complained that the new army was expanding too quickly, that there were too many new soldiers, and that one centurion under his command was about to catch up with a thousand households. ”

The implication is that under the command of Deng She, there are nearly 10,000 troops. This is naturally exaggerated, but it is not far from the truth. Monk Li and other old people, named Qianhu, have the least under his command, and there are more than 2,000 people. Not a downsizing, but a serious over-numbering. There is no way, there are not enough officers, and there is even less generals.

Hu Zhong and the others looked at each other, they had heard of the situation in Shuangcheng, they only knew that it was prosperous, and they also knew that Monk Li and others were not Deng She's descendants, but if they wanted to believe in Deng She's promise, they couldn't do it after all.

Deng She knew his thoughts, did not give immediate benefits, and could not strengthen his heart. If they are suspicious and discouraged, they are afraid that Hu Zhong and others may simply turn around and go to Guan Duo to turn himself in and report the loss.

He was leisurely, the lights and shadows swaying, and only then did he slowly speak out of his heavy hands when their eyes were gone.

1, Lao Guan's waste material was copied by Chakhan Timur, and thousands of Lao Tzu were lost in Tieqi Valley.

In the eighteenth year of Zheng, Chakhan Timur "Tunze Prefecture, Saiwanzi City, Tunshangdang, Saiwuer Valley, Tun and Zhou, Plug Well Trap Mouth, and Du Taihang Islands."

2, October, hit Datong. At the end of the year, hit the capital.

On the afternoon of October, the thieves attacked Datong Road. "Renchen, Datong Road has fallen, and Timur, the Daru Huachi finisher, has abandoned the city and fled."

"In December, Mr. Guan, Potou Pan and others fell into the capital, burned the palace, stayed for seven days, and then went to Liaoyang, and then went to Goryeo." "Mr. Guan, Sha Liu Er, Potou Pan and others went straight to the capital from Datong, burned down the palace, entered the Tiger Ben Division, and committed Daning. Hu Bensi went to Shangdu for 200 miles, and Emperor Shizu set up 36 tuns in Yan. First of all, it was snowing heavily and people were not able to get through. As a result, the snow eyes and the heating are like spring. ”
