Chapter 60: Heading North

In October of 1113 (the third year of Zhenghe of the Northern Song Dynasty), Liangshan Bo Haohan and his gang went out to send Chen Xiaofei north to Liao.

Chao Gai personally took the cup, Chen Xiaofei drank three cups, and saw that all the heroes behind Chao Gai were eager to toast, Chen Xiaofei hurriedly excused himself and said: "Brothers, the little brother is shallow, there are many of you, one person toasts me with a glass, I will be drunk to death, at that time, I missed the cottage big event, but I don't want to blame the little brother!" ”

When everyone laughed, Chen Xiaofei saluted deeply: "Brothers, warm little brothers." If he returns victoriously in the future, the younger brother will receive the celebratory wine of the elder brothers! ”

Lin Chong personally led the horse and said to Chen Xiaofei: "Brother, if you go north today, in the tiger and wolf's den, you must be careful!" It is related to the great cause of the country, but it is not more than the ordinary things on the rivers and lakes on weekdays, in addition to being careful, you need to be careful! ”

Chen Xiaofei pulled the saddle and got on the horse, nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Lin Chong, don't worry, the little brother will take care of it!" ”

At this time, Ximen Qing carried a few big burdens, put them on Chen Xiaopegasus's back, and said, "These things, brother, keep them, they are useful!" ”

Holding on to the boss with a bunch of things, Chen Xiaofei made a bitter face: "Brother, little brother, this trip, but it's not moving, what are these many things?" ”

Ximen Qingzheng said: "In recent years, the weather is not right, the climate is cold, these big fur clothes, brothers are prepared. ”

I don't know if the country is about to die, or what the vision will be, but over the years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the weather has changed greatly. In the winter of 1111, the first year of Zhenghe, more than 2,000 square kilometers of Taihu Lake was completely frozen, and the ice on the lake was thick enough to drive, and all the citrus in Dongting Mountain in the lake were frozen to death, and then, the climate became cold day by day.

If you go to the northern Khitan or even the Jurchen territory, where the cold weather is better than the Great Song Dynasty, there are not a few clothes to protect against the cold, and those with slightly worse internal strength are afraid that they will not be able to withstand it.

This time, Chen Xiaofei went north, and the martial arts hall selected a group of capable and good men to accompany him, although everything was ready, but no one thought of fur clothes to keep out the cold. In fact, it is not surprising to say, just because most of the leaders on Liangshan are poor men, and there is no sheepskin jacket, where can there be that kind of fox and crane knowledge? Only Ximen Qing was born in everyone, so he thought one step deeper than everyone else.

Chen Xiaofei stroked the package in front of the saddle, his hands were soft, and he didn't know how many fox otters' big fur clothes he had wrapped. Chen Xiaofei nodded secretly, so moved in his heart, and thought: "So many big hairy clothes - Brother Siquan this time, I'm afraid that he will take out all his family resources!" What is the regret of having such a brother who sold his life to him? ”

At that moment, he hugged his fists and said: "Little brother for the brothers who went north, Brother Xiexie Siquan has bothered!" Brother rest assured, the younger brother will have good news when he goes! ”

Ximenqing took three steps back, hugged his fists and said: "Say goodbye today, and one day, you and my brother Yanyun will meet!" ”

Chen Xiaofei nodded and raised his voice, "Are you ready?" ”

The entourage of the martial arts hall responded in unison, Chen Xiaofei stepped on the horse, got up on the horse's back and bowed his hands, and shouted: "Brothers, send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell, and the younger brother will leave!" ”

In the farewell sound of everyone in Liangshan, Chen Xiaofei turned his horse's head, waved his hand, and rode away to the north, and the entourage of the martial arts hall followed one after another, and soon their figures gradually disappeared in the eyes of the farewell everyone. Everyone watched the dust gradually return to calm in the wind, and their hearts fluctuated, all thoughtfully.

Suddenly, Chao Gai Haha smiled, breaking the silence around him. Chao Tianwang smiled: "From now on, our Liangshan is no longer the Liangshan of the past!" ”

Ximenqing echoed with a smile: "Exactly! The men raised their heads and looked north, and their chests were full of pride, like a wind and a tide.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong were also in the crowd, Song Jiang frowned, Wu Yong's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what they were thinking.

When he returned to his own village in Liangshan, Song Jiang complained to Wu Yongdao: "Military advisor, I only said that I won't see you off today, but you have to force me to go!" When you saw it, didn't you laugh at others and break your own heart? Hum! Ximen Qing! But I'll see how long you'll be proud! ”

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Why should my brother be angry? Ximenqing instigated the brothers in the village to faint, and insisted on recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, why don't you and I just plan it? ”

Song Jiang listened, and his spirits perked: "The military advisor will come out?" ”

Wu Yong shook the folding fan and said: "You and my brother sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and let such people toss it!" If they sink into the sand, what will happen to you and me? If they are lucky, won't you and I be able to do Zhang Yichao Zhang Yitan at that time? ”

Song Jiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly said, "Strategist, are you trying to ......?"

Wu Yong said leisurely: "I think that when Tang Xuanzong was in the past, Zhang Yichao, a native of Shazhou, led the people to form a Guiyi Army and broke Tubo. In the fifth year of Dazhong (851 AD), Zhang Yichao led the Guiyi army to recover Shazhou (Dunhuang), Guazhou (Anxi), Yizhou (Hami), Xizhou (Turpan), Hezhou (Linxia), Ganzhou (Zhangye), Suzhou (Jiuquan), Lanzhou, Shanzhou (Qinghai Ledu), Kuozhou (Qinghai Hualong), Minzhou (Gansu Minxian) and other eleven states, and sent his brother Zhang Yitan to bring the territory of the household registration into the court, Tang Xuanzong then gave the edict to appoint Zhang Yichao as the defense envoy of Shazhou. In the second year of Xiantong (861 AD), Zhang Yichao recovered Liangzhou. In the eighth year of Xiantong (867 AD), Zhang Yichao entered the court, and was appointed as the envoy of the eleven states of Hexi, the envoy of the observation and disposal in the tube, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, the secretary of the school department, and the doctor of the imperial history, the marquis of Wanhu in Hexi, and Zhang Yitan also named the general of Jin Wuwei - brother, please think, that Ximen Qing really has some talent, if he really succeeds and recovers Yanyun's hometown, we will rely on merit to attach to the imperial court, isn't it also a beautiful thing to leave a name in history? ”

Song Jiang nodded at first, but then shook his head and sighed: "Military advisor, do you see that Ximen Qing has a heart and a bearing, is he a subordinate minister?" If he really recovers the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, I'm afraid that at that time, there will be more things that you and I can't bear to talk about! Hum! This person has always seen in his words and deeds that there is no king and no father, don't think so! The military advisor still doesn't expect him to be kind, have good thoughts, and be loyal to the court! ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "It's man-made, let him Ximen Qing have the means to reach the sky, but as long as you and my brother plan properly, let him make wedding clothes for us, what's the matter?" ”

Song Jiang groaned: "This ...... It's not a hero's work to use people like this......"

Wu Yong sneered: "Brother Tai is also roundabout!" But you don't hear that the big husband is powerful, but he can't use wisdom? You and my brother put the righteousness first, so we will move some thoughts, but why regret it? ”

Song Jiang pushed the boat down the river and said, "Alas! The military advisor is right. In this case, let's temporarily follow the use of the hidden dragon, and see how long he Ximen Qing is rampant! ”

As he spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled. This is exactly what it is:

And see the volley like a crane in the sky, and there are even projective nymphs. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
