Deng She came to Liaoyang for only a few days, Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing only had three or four contacts with him, although there were past friendships, but Hu Zhong and several people, none of them were not old rivers and lakes, "meet people and say three points, don't throw away all your heart" The truth, everyone knows.

It stands to reason that even if they have the heart to take refuge, they should not be so eager before they find out what Deng She is thinking. What's the matter, wait a few more rounds of testing. But they are about to fight Liaonan, and they don't have time to wait and think about the pros and cons.

Like Hu Zhong, more than 5,000 men and horses have been beaten so far, and there are less than 2,000 left. The official position has also been wiped from tens of thousands of households at the beginning to tens of thousands of households, who can't see it? According to this momentum, one battle after another, it won't take long, let alone tens of thousands of households, he can save a small life of his own, and it will be good if he does not die with his official position.

This is one of them. In other words, the seriousness of the situation forced them to respond immediately and struggle to the death. Didn't Liu Daqing say it, he had long wanted to open a trumpet and pull the team away. But the road to the south is impassable, and he can't slip away. Since he can't slip away, and he is unwilling to sit still, he has to find another way.

At this time, Dunsher came.

Deng She is also from a miscellaneous background, and in their eyes, it can be described as a natural kind. In Hu Zhong's words, it is "the same smell", with a common experience, a common feeling, a common complaint, and a common dissatisfaction. Or rather, a common fate.

Dunsher is the same as them, and different from them.

Hu Zhong, Liu Daqing and others, most of them were born in Xiangma and Green Forest, and they have been the king of the mountain for a long time, their eyes are too high, they are used to freedom, and no one obeys anyone. Although I know that twisting into a rope is the best choice, if someone really comes out to pick the head, no one will pay attention. What kind of cow are you? A few years ago, who of you wasn't whistling and stomping on the script and shaking three points, why could you be the leader?

Like Hu Zhong, he has the heart to come out and speak, and there are less than 2,000 people under him, and no one is birding him. Drinking and complaining together, they are all good brothers, and they want to embrace you as the master? No need to talk! They are unwilling to be cannon fodder for Guan Duo, and they are not willing to use their own white bones to build on the profits of others; is also unwilling to be a knife in the hands of Hu Zhong, and is unwilling to die for Hu Zhong.

At this time, Dunsher came.

He is not only his own person, he also has the strength, and he has tens of thousands of troops and horses under his command. He came to take the lead, and everyone was convinced. Even better, Dunshe has territory. Twin cities and hundreds of miles of Pyongyang are now his own. Deng She is also different from Guan Duo, people like Monk Li can be reused when they go; What's more, these people are closer to Deng She than Monk Li?

If before they were a plate of loose sand, now they have their own flag.

However, recklessness is recklessness, they can see the red fire on the surface of Goryeo, but they can't see the hidden dangers hidden in Goryeo. Or, under the pressure of a strong existential crisis, they can't take too much care of it, their vision determines their knowledge, and the environment leads to their choices, so they will put forward the request to escort Deng She and kill them back to Goryeo.

As far as Deng She is concerned, co-opting miscellaneous cards is certainly a direction for him to come to Liaoyang, but this direction of effort does not mean that he has to compromise with them, and they will lead the way. For the sake of Goryeo, and for the benefit of the miscellaneous cards, Deng She must follow the established plan and lead them by the nose.

Miscellaneous cards came to take refuge, and he was half the battle; Whether you can completely master the power of miscellaneous cards and use the power of miscellaneous cards to achieve your goals depends on the other half.

The oil lamp flickered, and the room was dark.

Several people sat around, their shadows cast on the rough walls, their teeth and claws, and the shadows were too much. Deng She glanced out of the door, picked up the hairpin, lit up the light slightly, he opened his mouth leisurely, and first asked a question: "When your uncles were fighting, I don't know if you ever pulled a strong man?" Caught up in the people? ”

Hu Zhong was stunned and said: "This is a common practice in the army, and it is okay to fight in the field, if you want to attack the city, there is no need for strong men and people." "Using them as a precursor can reduce a lot of casualties.

Deng She asked again: "In the usual wars, if the city is attacked, how many people can be coerced at one time?" ”

Hu Zhong said: "It depends on the place. In densely populated places,—— such as Daning, when Daning is beaten, there must be thousands of people coerced by the villain; In sparsely populated places, there are usually a few hundred people. "It is common for an army of 10,000 or 20,000 to attack a city and entrap a few thousand people.

Deng She nodded, and said leisurely: "The little nephew's Goryeo military horse has now advanced to the bank of the Yalu River, and the forward is less than a hundred miles away from Gaizhou, where Gao Jianu is located. In order to show the little nephew's intentions, before the uncles enter southern Liaoning and Dagaizhou, they may wish to turn to the left first. Maybe it's a big deal. ”

Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing looked at each other, Liu Daqing's mind turned slowly, and said, "Great gains?" What's the catch? Hu Zhong understood quickly, showed joy, and asked, "What does the general want?" Dunshe smiled and nodded.

With a "snap", Hu Zhong slapped his thigh and said, "I can get the support of the general, this Gaizhou, the villain is settled!" Pulling up Liu Daqing, several people knelt on the ground for the third time and thanked Deng She. Liu Daqing kowtowed a few times in a daze, he was hysterical, and asked, "What's the situation?" What happens? ”

Hu Zhong explained: "Why don't you understand? The general's meaning is clear, he will send troops disguised as civilians and wait for us. As soon as the location is specified, we just have to accept it when the time comes. Liu Daqing was overjoyed and asked Deng She, "Really? Seriously? ”

Deng She nodded with a smile and added, "However, in order to prevent others from noticing, there will not be too many people available for you to receive." The little nephew thought, three or four thousand people, that's about the same. ”

"Three or four thousand? Enough! Enough! Liu Daqing raised his head and laughed, and said, "Wowhaha, the general is kind, let the villain worship." I couldn't help but say, lying on the ground, poofing, and willingly kowtowing several times. No wonder he was excited, the people and strong men he usually brought in, after the battle, basically died almost, completely one-time consumables. Dunsheken handed over the headquarters to them in disguise, and it would be very different.

Deng She helped him up, and said with a straight face: "Although there are not many people, but they have never fought, and the people are very different from the soldiers." Suddenly, there are many soldiers who are good at fighting, it must be difficult to hide it, how to use it, uncles should not be careless. ”

Hu Zhong thought to himself: "Four thousand, one thousand old willows, one thousand households and one thousand; Pull two more allies, and divide a thousand; How can I drop a thousand people? If the battle is really as Xiao Deng said, if the fight is not intense, there will be a lot of filling and vacancies left when you go out. Even if it is intense, at most one will not lose money, and it will be his people who die anyway. ”

He had already made up his mind, and said excitedly: "The general's kindness, villains and other commissions really don't know how to repay them." The general can rest assured that the villain will be used properly and will not let others see the fault. ”

Liu Daqing grinned and said, "Hey, what's wrong?" Those who can't fight pretend to be able to fight can't pretend to be able to fight, and those who can fight pretend that they can't fight are not simple? Anyway, we are the first wave to go up to charge, wrap some people, take them to death, die enough, and the charge will be over. Next, it's all the work of the main force, and the main attack is not our turn. The general has a hundred hearts, and he will never let those dogs see that something is wrong. ”

Deng She said: "It's good to wrap some more people, uncles, but remember, don't coerce too much." Although southern Liaoning is rich and densely populated, there are too many people, which is unreasonable. ”

Hu Zhong said: "What the general said is that the villains should be kept in mind. The source of soldiers was replenished, and there was another problem, he swallowed and said, "The people who came in the past did not have weapons rationed in the army. The people, when they die, they die; The elite of the general, it's very different, since it's allocated to the villain, etc., then ,......"

Deng She, Hu Zhong didn't mention it, and he wouldn't ask his subordinates to die in vain, and said with a smile: "In the little nephew army, there are many business dealings with Jin and Fu Zhuzhou. There are a lot of wealthy people in Jiangnan who are engaged in the arms business, and if the uncles are lucky, maybe in addition to the people, they can meet one or two more caravans. ”

With the promise of a long-term vision and the interests of the near future, Hu Zhong and the others had nothing to say, and they talked endlessly about flattery. Hu Zhong also had to offer a banquet, to see that the night was dark, Deng She refused, and then discussed the place and time of the handover, but it was impossible to decide for the time being, and it would be decided after the date of Guan Duo's departure and the marching route of each department.

Let's talk about some digressions, not only interests, but also feelings, which is essential. The guests and hosts are happy, and they are all happy. Listening to the two watches on the street, Deng She got up to say goodbye, Hu Zhong was clever, and once again took the initiative to promise that he would spare no effort to pull other miscellaneous cards into the gang, and he would not let Deng She down.

After Deng She left, Liu Daqing was immersed in joy and smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth, Hu Zhong was unusual, but he smiled and frowned. Liu Daqing was surprised and asked, "*, don't you rejoice?" How do you show your face? ”

Hu Zhong sighed and said, "Although Xiao Deng is small, he is not a good stubble. He would rather give us men and weapons than go back to the Twin Cities, what does he want to do? ”

Liu Daqinghun didn't take it seriously, disagreed, and said, "You don't care what he wants to do!" If you don't go back to the Twin Cities, you won't go back, and you will hold on to what he gave first. And there is nothing to lose, what will happen in the future? We'll see. Coughing twice, he spat out phlegm again, and then said, "If you agree, you will stay, and if you don't, you will leave." If there is a benefit, we will follow him; It's no good, you want to use Lao Tzu as cannon fodder? Lao Tzu patted his ass and left. ”

Hu Zhong said: "It's easy to get on the boat, but it's hard to get off the boat." ”

Liu Daqing was dissatisfied and said: "You are the one who said that Xiao Deng was wooed, and you were the one who said that it was difficult to get off the boat." You're confused, aren't you? Look forward and backward like a girl, just like you, eat and wait for you to die! Difficulty in getting off the boat? What's wrong? Lao Tzu wants to leave, can he still pull Lao Tzu and hold on? Dare to bite Lao Tzu's cock? In a hurry, our grandfathers scattered in two, and Lao Tzu went to Lao Guan to complain and sold his dog. ”

Hu Zhong was silent, and what Liu Daqing said also made sense. But how could Dun She not have expected it? Don't have a start? But he didn't plan to remind Liu Daqing, he raised his eyes and looked at Liu Daqing, thinking: "How can you know my ambition?" "Think of something and explain," you have to remember, Xiao Deng gave us people, and they must not be pinched in their hands, and they are reluctant to put it out. We have to use it to fight, and if we don't die, we can't digest it. ”

Liu Daqing patted him on the shoulder: "Do you still need to say it?" Lao Tzu knows it very well. Several people laughed, and Hu Zhong laughed twice, faintly worried: "Even if you die halfway, can you really digest it?" "But I remembered my wish to come all the time, and after this village, there was no such shop. He gritted his teeth, even if it was a poison, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would admit it.

In order not to be discovered, when Deng She left, Hu Zhong gave him two personal soldiers to guide the way. Still took the small road, went around half of Liaoyang, avoided three or four patrolling soldiers, and returned to Fuzhong after nearly three watches. Fortunately, there is no martial law in the city, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

turned back to the inner hall and met Fang Buzhen, waiting inside with his legs crossed. Deng She had instructed his own soldiers not to restrict what Fang Buzhen did, so he could enter and leave the inner house so grandly.

Seeing Deng She come back, he seemed to be smiling,—— he had two good expressions, one rolled his eyes, the other was smiling but not smiling, the former was obviously disdainful, the latter was similar to ridicule, in short, there was only one impression: he looked down on you, he looked down on you very brightly, and he almost wrote on his face.

He asked with a smile: "The military discussion is just one watch, and tonight there will be three watches, how late will the general come back?" ”

Guan Duo's pervasiveness is really a headache. However, Deng She had already prepared an explanation, and replied unhurriedly: "Wait for Lord Fang, I met an old friend, and Fei La went to drink a few glasses of wine." Before he said goodbye to Hu Zhong and the others, he did drink a few glasses, and sprinkled some on his clothes, a smell of wine.

After explaining, he yawned and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?" Wait for me to do something? ”

Fang Buzhen snorted twice and said, "I can't see the general, I can't sleep." "But there is something to say. stood up, shook the placket of his clothes, and continued, "Since the general is back, he will be relieved of his humble duties, so he will leave." After taking two steps, he turned around and said, "The big battle is coming, the general has a heavy responsibility, be careful in everything." Don't make a mistake, you'll fall into the abyss. ”

Deng She pretended to be confused and said with a smile: "The relevant Pingzhang is here, Liaoyang City is as stable as Mount Tai, Lord Fang's worries have passed, passed." Fang Buzhen smiled and turned to leave.

Deng She shook his head, Bi Qianniu outside the door stared at Fang Buzhen and walked away, asking the left-behind soldiers to come to something, and came in and handed it to Deng She, but it was a letter from Shuangcheng. As soon as Dunsher was in good spirits, he turned on the candlelight.

The letter was written by Hong Jixun, a popular Zhao Tixing book, with a strong pen, and a good posture, Deng She was not in a hurry to read it carefully, read it casually, and first look for the code. On the second page, a small coat of arms is seen, printed on a certain word. Deng She understood in his heart, which meant that Hong Jixun had received his letter, and according to his instructions, he began to implement a certain set of established response plans for Guan Duo's measures.

After mentioning it for a long time, Deng She breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back slightly, leaned back on the soft couch, and then carefully read the contents of the letter. Hong Jixun is as organized as ever. It is divided into three sections: politics, military and commerce, and reports in detail on the development of the twin cities after Deng She's departure.

Overall, it went well.

Before Deng She left, he promoted many officers in the army who were coarse and literate, and had a steady personality, and stationed them in various cities to take charge of military and political affairs; He also appointed Goryeo officials and local wealthy families to deal with government affairs as the second assistant, and roughly set up a team. Hong Jixun continued to improve, and through the popularity of the Hong family in Shuangcheng and Goryeo, and with the help of the momentum of Dunshe's successive victories and persecution of Goryeo peace talks, he won over some northern scholars and enriched the ability of local administration.

The compilation of household registration and armor protection is nearing completion; Half of the land distribution is basically completed, and the remaining half is not intended to be divided again, leaving it to attract Han people; persuade farmers to make all in place, cooperatives, * stores in an orderly manner layer by layer implementation; In addition to the twin cities, the Pirate Capture Division has also set up a Pyongyang Pirate Capture and Pirate Division in Pyongyang, which is responsible for the capture of pirates and intelligence work in the western cities.

In terms of food and salary for soldiers: The autumn harvest is about to end, and there is a lot of grain and grass harvested, accompanied by seafood and game, which is enough for 50,000 people to eat until the beginning of spring tomorrow.

He Guangxiu, the envoy who supervised Tuntian, came to Liaoyang with Deng She, but Tuntian could not stop because of this. Hong Jixun took the place of taking charge, he was more decisive than Ha Guangxiu, and gave an order, only looking at the result, regardless of the process. If they are not satisfied, they will be whipped and dismissed at worst; There is serious dereliction of duty, and even beheading. In this way, the speed of Tuntian is much faster than that of He Guangxiu.

Although the work of expanding the army is in full swing, although the selection is very strict, by the end of the month at the most, the expected target will be accomplished, bringing the total number of troops to 50,000. The two batches of new pawns that have been recruited, together with the old pawns, have further eliminated the old and weak, and they have been practicing every day.

In accordance with Deng She's order, the officers of the regiment above the rank of centurion were organized by the local supreme commander to study once every three days in the area where they were stationed, to exchange their experience in previous operations and to discuss whether there was a better way to deal with them; In addition, choose Confucian students and teach them to read and write, it doesn't matter if they can't write, at least they must be able to read. When the centurion finishes his studies, he organizes the ten's own division and gives them what he has learned.

At the same time, Deng She and Hong Jixun selected a few military books, made annotations, and sent them to various ministries, and they also had to study systematically.

It's a little slow for the time being, but there's no way to let someone who doesn't know the bottom line teach? Deng She was not at ease. Be more patient, and when the apprentices brought out by Luo Guoqi come out, the speed should be able to speed up.

Luo Guoqi's work of building thousands of households was handed over to Chen Hu. He doesn't have to be stationed in Dingzhou, he is on guard against the front line, and he has spare time for his energy and can take care of it. But until now, preparations are still underway, and not a single ship has been built.

In the newly acquired territory, near the mountains, there are many places where iron is mined, and there are already smelting sites in Goryeo, all of which are managed by Lu Qianwu, and all of them are picked up, and the amount of iron produced has increased significantly. At the same time, more craftsmen of all kinds were obtained, especially in Pyongyang, which was the most, leaving only enough to meet the minimum daily needs in various places, and all the others were included in the artisan camp, and the people were recruited as apprentices and starters, and the construction of ordnance slowly followed.

Landmines worked well in Pyongyang in the First World War, but unfortunately gunpowder was still seriously lacking and could not be mass-produced.

Chen Zhe's caravan is progressing well. Although there are no ships built by thousands of shipbuilders, there are many private sea vessels along the coast of Pyongyang; Many were enlisted. He had already made a voyage to Shandong and contacted Ren Zhonghou, the old brother of the horse thief who accompanied Mrs. Wang to Shandong, but this time it was only tentative, and he didn't bring much goods, and the harvest was so-so.

In the first battle of Pyongyang, many sailors were captured and were responsible for escorting the voyage. The ship of the navy is not big, and it is better to talk about nothing.

Tian Boren, the slave of the Shen family, recovered from his injuries and followed Chen Zhe to Shandong. He had the intention to meet Shen Wansan's fleet, but because Jin and Fuzhou were still in the hands of the Japanese invaders, the Jiangnan ships disappeared. However, in Shandong, I met a few maritime merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and asked Shen Wansan, only to know that they were a step late, and the Shen family's fleet had just left. I can't help it, just wait for the next time.

All in all, good news on all fronts. Deng She was more satisfied, didn't he give up his life into the tiger's den, just to understand the inside story of Liaoyang, know himself and the enemy, so as to gain time for Shuangcheng to develop? Hong Jixun did a good job, and it was in vain that he carried his head and walked this way.

After finishing the business, I opened this page, and there was still half a sheet at the back, but it had nothing to do with business. Hong Jixun turned his pen and talked about the weather of the two cities and the autumn harvest. At the end of the letter, a poem was given, asking Deng She to be "Yazheng". There are two sentences that read: "It is said that the Korean lettuce is beautiful, how can it be as fragrant as the deep palace Luo skirt." ”

His two sentences, the previous sentence quoted the original poem of Yang Yunfu praising Goryeo lettuce, this Yang Yunfu is the food in the palace of the Yuan Emperor today, so it led to the latter sentence of Hong Jixun, asking him which one is more fragrant compared with the Luo skirt in the deep palace?

It seems to be joking, but Deng She's eyes are attracted, and the degree of attention is more important than the heraldic code in front, and only the two of them know the deep meaning.

——

1, Zhao Tixingshu.

There is a Yuan generation, the most famous calligrapher, Zhao Mengfu, and another calligrapher at that time, Xian Yushu, called "Ermiao".

Zhao Mengfu, the word Ang, the number of Songxue Dao, the Crystal Palace Dao, the Taoist at home, the children of Taishang, etc., live in the Oubo Pavilion, known as Zhao Oubo. A native of Huzhou, Zhejiang, he is the eleventh grandson of Song Taizu, and after King Defang of Qin, he is the so-called "Emperor Miao descendant".

He is good at seals, subordinates, Kai, lines, and grass styles, and has created a unique Zhao style. "The seal is divided into real grass, and the books are all ancient and modern, so they are named after the world." Xian Yushu praised him as "Ziang Seal, Li, Zhen, Xing, and Tuo Cao are the first in contemporary times, and Xiaokai is the first in Ziang Zhushu." He is the third master with far-reaching influence in the history of calligraphy in China after Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing.

He "won the glory of the five dynasties and became famous all over the world", not only "calligraphy is the first generation"; It is more "painted into the gods", landscapes, people, flowers and birds, bamboo and stone, and pommel horses are omnipotent; Gongbi, freehand, green, ink, and all are refined. Dong Qichang commented: "Zhao Jixian's painting is the crown of the Yuanren." ——He was born in the Southern Song Dynasty and served as a scholar in the Yuan Dynasty.

His name is also widely spread among the people, and there is a sentence after the break: Song Huizong's eagle, Zhao Ziang's horse,—— good painting (good words). It is in response to Chao Buzhi's words when he praised Qin Guanci: "Although you are illiterate, you also know that you are born with good words." ”

An all-round talent in calligraphy and painting like him is very rare in the history of China's art development. People at the time called him a "genius", "stimulated by the sky, as if he learned it", but in fact it was not. He may have extraordinary talents, but his achievements in art are all obtained from hard study and unremitting hard practice.

In addition to the outstanding achievements of inheriting the Tang and Song dynasties, opening the Ming and Qing dynasties, and "opening a generation of customs", he is more knowledgeable and proficient in music, "the ancients did not pass on the wonder"; Good at identifying ancient artifacts, able to write poetry, and understand economy. His contemporaries said that "Meng Fu's talent is quite hidden by calligraphy and painting, those who know his calligraphy and painting, but do not know his articles, and those who know his articles do not know his economic studies." "People thought it was so. -- The study of economics is the political ability of economic affairs.

His appearance is also outstanding, and he is rarely in the pivot, "Zhao Ziang's expression is simple and distant, and he is a man among the gods". When he first met Yuan Shizu, "the public spirit is beautiful, the pearl is bright and jade, shining in the palace", and Yuan Shizu thought that he was "a man among the gods".

When the Southern Song Dynasty fell, he was only in his twenties, after entering the Yuan Dynasty, after several dynasties, to the time of Yuan Renzong, Renzong said: "Literary scholars, the world is rare to see, such as Tang Li Taibai, Song Su Zizhan, the name is prominent, often in people's ears and eyes." Today, I have Zhao Ziang, how different from the ancients! "A saint in 500 years, a genius in 300 years, he is a well-deserved generation of talents.

However, because he came out of the new dynasty as the "son of the clan" of the Zhao and Song dynasties, he was ridiculed by the people of the time and was also suspicious of the ruling group of the Yuan Dynasty.

On the one hand, he often felt guilty, and wrote poems such as "In the mountains for the ambition, out of the mountains for the grass", "Heavy groaning for the source of the heart" and other poems to express his inner contradictions, on the other hand, there are poems such as "the past is no longer that to say, and will be loyal to the emperor Yuan" to express loyalty to the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty.

Despite this, the ruling circles of the Yuan Dynasty could not reassure him, and all they did were idle positions, that is, the so-called "ministers of literary acolytes". This may also be one of the reasons why his "economic talent" is not obvious.

In recognition of his achievements in the history of art and culture, in 1987, the International Astronomical Society named Mercury Crater after Zhao Mengfu in honor of his contribution to the history of human culture.

After his Zhao style was transmitted to Goryeo, it replaced the previous Ouyang style and became the prevailing style of calligraphy, and since then, Zhao style has been the basic undercurrent of calligraphy on the Korean Peninsula.

Praise said: Wow, although private morality is at a loss, literature is prominent. The ancients said: Loyalty and filial piety are only true Confucianism, many talented people have no virtue, and honesty is not deceiving. Such a talented man, if he has no talent, even if the Song Zhizong family is unknown, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to it; He is both talented and entered the Yuan Dynasty, how can he not be ridiculed? It is a talent for fame and a talent, and a talent for virtue. At the end of the Song Dynasty, although he was a clan, his family had long been in decline, and he had only been a minor official like joining the army in Zhenzhou in the Song Dynasty, which seemed to excuse him slightly.

2, not to mention the beauty of Korean lettuce.

Yang Yunfu's "Bianliang Miscellaneous Songs": "It is said that the Korean lettuce is beautiful, and it always loses the mushroom after the mountain." "Lettuce: lettuce for leaves, here lettuce. Mushrooms: Mushrooms.

Yang Yunfu: When Emperor Shun, he was a food offering in the palace. Author's note: "The Koreans eat it wrapped in lettuce. ”
