As the saying goes, the snow is warm before the snow and the snow is cold, at this time, Yao Duan wandered around the camp for a long time, and he already felt that the iron armor on his body was cold, like a big ice cube, clinging to his body.

When the tent curtain was opened, only to feel a wave of warmth coming to the face, a group of soldiers had already lit a brazier in the tent, and the fiery red flames were running high, in this icy and snowy dark night, which made people feel unusually warm.

Yao Duan took off his armor, and asked people to pat the snow off his body, and then wiped the residual snow off his eyebrows and face, and sat down by the brazier again, only then did he feel comfortable, and the cold air had been driven away without a trace.

"General Yao is hard."

Fei Lun and Zhang Xian had been waiting in Yao Duan's tent for a long time, and when he came in to clean up, the two of them bowed their hands.

Yao Duan said in a sullen voice: "What's so hard, we are generals, we have pro-soldiers to serve, and braziers to keep warm, and the brothers can only struggle in this snow." ”

He looked at Fei Lun and saw that the other party was unmoved, so he didn't care about it, and said to the young noble general: "General Fei, it is your job to ask for something, but my brother can't wait here for a long time. This is this kind of ghost weather, and Taiyuan is not much better. The war in Hedong is changing rapidly and cannot be delayed for a long time, if the Zhe family dares to send troops, I will destroy him as well. It has been delayed here for a long time, which is not conducive to the war in Taiyuan, so please think carefully. ”

Fei Lun is actually worried, how the emperor set up the bureau even he doesn't know very well, whether it is useful or not is not yet known, this Yao Duan seems to be rude but is actually cunning, and he has no responsibility at all, if something really goes wrong, everything will fall on his head.

was worried, but he refused to bring it out at all on his face, but smiled and said to Yao Duan: "It snows heavily, and the coming year will definitely be a good year." His Majesty said that as soon as the spring begins, he will strive to reduce the military service of the townships, but use the people's power on water conservancy projects. ”

He gently buttoned Zhao Huan's big hat over, and Yao Duan and Zhang Xian glanced at each other. It's all a wry smile. The future of the partial teacher is unpredictable, and the partial life is the emperor's own order, but there is no way to do it.

The three of them were speechless, only the crackling of charcoal in the brazier, and the sparks were flying around, but they heard a report from someone outside the tent: "General Fei, there is a team of people outside the camp, saying that it is your old man." Come and pay a visit. ”

"Oh?" Fei Lun's face was surprised, he was originally an orphan in the army, and the five countries of exile were taken in by Zhao Huan, except for Chongji and others, there were no old people. It's just that the other party is visiting on a snowy night, there must be something important, or it is Zhao Huan's detailed work here, and it is unknown.

At that moment, he had to stand up, first confess his guilt to Yao and Zhang, and open the door and walked out.

Get out there. One foot in the snow. The snow creaked, and when I looked up at the sky, it was already clear through the snow. A full moon hung obliquely in the air, and the cold wind was like a knife, but it blew his originally warm face into pain.

"Good snow!"

Fei Lun secretly praised, since leaving the northern country, this kind of scene of ice and snow is extremely white, it is rare to see.

Although the big tent of the Chinese army was far away from the camp gate, he did not ride a horse, but under the protection of his own soldiers, he did not even need to hold a torch, and strolled towards the camp gate by taking advantage of the dark moonlight. When you get to the main entrance of the barracks. Snow had penetrated under his knees, but he didn't care.

"Goro, is that you?"

As soon as he arrived at the camp gate, Fei Lun was looking at the small group of knights outside the camp, looking for the so-called "old man", but he was suddenly surprised that someone in the opposite team had already opened his mouth to greet him.

Fei Lun Xingwu, but he is qualified to call him "Wulang", but there are not many.

It was very familiar to him. But he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he had to answer first: "It's me." Who are you? ”

The other party smiled "hehe", and said: "Good guy, Gorou has done the promotion of the Imperial City Division, and the pedestrian division is the general, and there is no one in his eyes." ”

Fei Lun was surrounded by his own soldiers in the middle, although the moonlight was bright on a snowy night, the other party recognized him at a glance, which was already amazing, and at this time, he was not afraid to laugh, and did not put his official position in his eyes that most of the generals of the Song army were afraid of, but he was even more surprised.

But just a moment later, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

Seeing that although the other party's whole face was covered in the cloak, his figure was obviously not bad, Fei Lun scolded himself for being stupid, while showing a happy smile from the bottom of his heart, while ordering someone to open the camp gate, he scolded with a smile: "Zhen Laosan, are you making fun of me?" ”

When Zhe Xiaozhong saw that he recognized himself, he also lifted his cloak, jumped off his horse, laughed loudly, and ran in front of Fei Lun.

Just one step apart, the two of them stopped together, and the gesture that was originally about to hug was changed to a bow, and they shook deeply.

After both sides raised their heads, Fei Lun looked at Zhe Xiaozhong's face, and smiled first: "I haven't seen you for half a year, but your expression is much better than at the beginning." ”

Zhe Xiaozhong also followed Zhao Huan when he was in the Five Kingdoms City that day, and among the small guards at the beginning, Yi Chongji was the oldest, Fei Lun Xinger, Xue Qiang and Zhe Xiaozhong were the same age. this

The four of them were highly respected by Zhao Huan, and they accompanied Zhao Huan for thousands of miles to protect Zhao Huan from the Five Kingdoms to escape back through the Xia Realm, and they were the most favored.

Only Zhen Xiaozhong is a nephew and a close branch of the family, although Zhao Huan believes in him, he is suspicious and rejected by the rest of the generals of the Western Army and cannot be reused. originally intended to go to Hunan to find a fold to save, or to fold the quality, but Zhao Huan refused to let go. So after two or three years of hard work, Chongji and others were reused, becoming the royal belt and senior generals of the army, Xue Qiang led the town side, Chongji became a fierce general of the Western Army, and Fei Lun mastered the pedestrian division and became the detailed supervisor of the Gongwei Emperor's inspection of intelligence. Only although Zhe Xiaozhong is not a subordinate, his situation is still much worse than these three people, and his face is often depressed.

And at this moment, Zhi Xiaozhong was smiling and graceful, and those depressions at the beginning had long disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Fei Lun looking at him with inquiring eyes, Zhi Xiaozhong smiled, and while holding hands with Fei Lun, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year, aren't you more experienced?" But speaking of this, when you were in the Five Kingdoms, you were the most calm, and when we were messing around, you didn't hum or ha, and when it came to ideas, the boss was not as good as you. ”

He and Fei Lun have been friends since childhood, and their friendship has not diminished over the years, and they are free to speak, and Fei Lun's personal soldiers only see that the leading general is trembling in front of this young general, lest they say too much and make too many mistakes, but this fold filial piety does not take Fei Lun's identity seriously, and he is stunned at the moment.

Fei Lun also enjoyed this kind of brotherhood with the other party very much, at first he only did not speak, and after walking a few steps with Zhi Xiaozhong, he replied: "I am extremely favored by the emperor, and Your Majesty regards us as both confidants, and I am my eyes and ears. What are the eyes and ears? It is to see more, listen more, and then report the usefulness to Your Majesty, if I am negligent and slack, will it be done? ”

Zhi Xiaozhong stopped, with a smile on his face, and said to Fei Lun: "Goro, do you want to talk to me?" ”

Fei Lun said: "What is there to say between us? Dressing? ”

"Haha, that's what Gorou said." Zhi Xiaozhong smiled again, but sighed in his heart, no matter what this Fei Lun was, he was no longer as good as he was when the Five Kingdoms were in the day.

Immediately, he also smiled, and while signaling to retreat, he said to Fei Lun: "My original name was Zhe Yanruo, my father can save it, and the current head of the Zhe family is a brother, you know this, right?" ”

Fei Lun already knew the end at this time, this person had disappeared shortly after Xue Qiang left Chang'an, and when he asked about the envoy, the military department of the cardinal government did not know anything, and once asked the emperor to inquire, Zhao Huan only asked him not to care, and then there was nothing else to say.

Thinking about it in private, I thought that this person had finally offended the emperor, or that someone had gotten slander and was sent to a remote place to do things, and he had the heart to persuade him, but he didn't dare, so he had to send a letter to Chongji and others, and planned to gather a few brothers to talk about it.

Who expected him not to hum or ha, but he came to this land in the north of Jin, and worked hard to manage it, and the Zhe family refused to send troops at both ends of the first rat in this Hedong war.

At that moment, while thinking about it, he replied: "These are all things of the past, Your Majesty personally changed your name to Xiaozhong in order to calm your heart, that is, I believe that you do not doubt your meaning." ”

Zhi Xiaozhong smiled, sighed lightly, and then said: "Wulang is not a child of a family, I don't know how important the family reputation is in the eyes of the children of a military general family like us. Your Majesty can change my name, but I can't change my surname. Fold the family, this gold-lettered signboard cannot be destroyed in the hands of the third uncle. So I served Your Majesty at the beginning, no matter how others looked at me and laughed at me, I had to be surnamed Zhe, just so that one day Your Majesty could use me and let me restore the prestige of the Zhe family. ”

Having said this, it was already very heart-to-heart, Fei Lun looked at Zhe Xiaozhong's face, and he was also emotional, so he had to persuade again: "It's okay now, as long as you persuade Zhe to ask, you will be a great achievement." ”

"That's it." Zhi Xiaozhong was not happy, but said in a daze: "I have been here for half a year, and I have met a lot of General Yuanyun in private, as well as those cousins. The third uncle didn't see me, but he knew what I meant. He also hesitated, Long shouldn't have been, and now he is rebelling against Jinren, and he is worried that people will say that he is a grass on the wall. So even today, the third uncle is still determined to make a difficult decision. ”

"What are these words, they are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are traitors if they serve the Jin people!"

Zhi Xiaozhong snorted coldly, and only said: "The third uncle said: We are not Han people, we are party members. ”

Seeing that Fei Lun was stunned, Zhe Xiaozhong said again: "This is just a scene, the Zhe family has been proclaiming a hundred years, relying on the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has long regarded the Zhe family as a Han person, what a bullshit party." is hesitating now, but his determination is difficult, and he feels that the folded family can support the army and look at the overall situation. ”

Speaking of this, the meaning of his words was already cold, and he had no family affection for this third uncle.

Looking at Fei Lun, Zhe Xiaozhong said word by word: "In today's situation, the only way to surrender is to fight!" ”
