After pondering for a long time, Meng Jiucheng's eyes lifted, and he said: "The Mongolian army attacked Shandong, burned and looted, how is it compared to the Jin people?" If the Jin people are wolves, then the Mongolian army is a tiger, which is even more vicious and cruel, and it will also be the mortal enemy of our army. Don't say how the Song people were, but say that the sons of the Han family, if they take refuge in the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, they still have a little conscience in cultivating and studying in seclusion, and helping Yidi kill their compatriots, no matter what the excuse, is undoubtedly a traitor, and it will be stinking for 10,000 years. ”

In fact, Meng Jiucheng's remarks are a bit evasive and ambiguous, but he will never agree with those traitorous remarks such as "the country is sorry for me, why should I be worthy of the country". You can bend your knees and be obedient to the people, but you will be unforgivable for the sake of the tiger.

Han Shouzhong was shocked when he heard it, although he didn't understand all the meaning, but in the end, the words of "traitor" and "stinking for 10,000 years" were clear.

"The general's words - that Yue Wumu, who died to death, must have agreed." Han Shouzhong laughed dryly twice, and said with some unconvincing.

"Yue Wu Mu, who died in the past, can leave a name in history, can become a god and become holy, and will be admired and revered by all generations." Meng Jiucheng said in a deep voice: "A traitor who betrays the country and seeks glory, like Shi Jingjiao and others, how many generations can he be rich and noble? But it still smells of it. ”

"Ninety percent is well said." Wang Zhongfeng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and interjected: "Even if we don't learn from Yue Wumu, don't be that, that traitor." The Mongolian and Jin people are all the way, burning, killing and looting are generally vicious, and the tragic scene of slaughter is resentful and unbearable, and they should all be killed. ”

Meng Jiucheng smiled at his master's compliment, paused for a long time, and then said meaningfully: "The so-called Song court is weak and afraid of money and does not accept the Northern Righteous Army, which is actually not accurate, it should be said that it is not dare to accept it openly. As for the local officials, especially those in the border prefectures and counties, they are most aware of the situation in Song and Jin, and it is not surprising that they want to use the heroic people to restore the great cause. ”

Wang Zhongfeng and Han Zhongfeng looked at Meng Jiucheng and carefully figured out the meaning of his words.

Han Shouzhong reacted and asked tentatively, "Don't dare to make it public?" That is the secret acceptance, the support of money and food? ”

"Exactly." Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly and said, "Although this may depend on the changes in the situation of Song Jin, it is only a matter of time. By the way, what I just said is attached to the song, not to the song, do you understand the meaning? ”

Han Shouzhong frowned and pondered, and only guessed for a while and said: "What does the general mean to develop independently and occupy his own territory, but not to go south to join him?" ”

Meng Jiucheng nodded, and said helplessly and with some contempt: "The Song court's suspicion of martial artists is deep-rooted, and there are southerners and northerners, so it's better to be far away and only be controlled by remote; If it is close at hand, the means of division, attack, and suppression will emerge one after another, and it will be extremely troublesome to deal with. Therefore, in the name of attaching the Song Dynasty, we try our best to fight for money and food, but we can't rely on it completely, and self-reliance is not controlled by others, which is our ultimate goal. ”

"Not controlled by others, just with the mind of a certain family." Wang Zhongfeng nodded in appreciation.

Han Shouzhong pondered for a long time and said, "The general is thoughtful and long-term, but it is not easy to be self-sufficient. ”

"If it goes well, two or three years at most!" Meng Jiucheng had to blow at this time, and he had to give his subordinates confidence, after a pause, his tone changed, and he said: "Of course, this requires us to work together and work together. ”

Han Shouzhong paused for a moment, then immediately bowed down and replied: "The general is eloquent and strategic, and he dares to follow dishonestly and disloyally. ”

Meng Jiucheng nodded appreciatively and encouraged: "Let's work together to build a world." Glory and wealth, and a wife and a son, are also very promising. ”

Hope, benefit! Meng Jiucheng believes that he can use these two things to make more and more people gather around him and fight for it.

To put it bluntly, it is the future, it is to become an official and make a fortune, and it is to enjoy happiness and happiness in the future.

Of course, all this is not obtained without a bottom line and without principles.

According to Meng Jiucheng's observation, Han Shouzhong's ability is there, worse than Wang Zhongfeng and Xiao Ying, but he can be regarded as one of the few generals who can be used in his hands. As for utilitarianism, Meng Jiucheng is not disgusted. Only you are allowed to have ambitions, but you are not allowed to have ideals? Only with proper control, utilitarianism can also be transformed into enterprising spirit.

During this period of time, Meng Jiucheng studied hard, made progress every day, and constantly consulted from Wang Zhongfeng, coupled with the theoretical knowledge in his mind, his military ability improved rapidly.

Even if you are a traveler, you will definitely not be able to do well in ancient military knowledge such as marching, camping, sentry, flag liaison, and baggage alone, relying only on the theories in books, without practical experience, and without the guidance of professionals.

And if you want to convince and respect your subordinates, even if Meng Jiucheng can't become a famous general, he can't be a layman. During the military discussion, you talked nonsense and were full of loopholes, and you lowered your prestige, which made people look down on you.

As for the military innovations in Meng Jiucheng's mind, he wrote a lot, but did not promote them. After all, theory must also be linked to practice, and only after he is fully familiar with the current mode of war will he be able to make more targeted adjustments and reforms.

The army went smoothly, and the troops were divided in Xingxing Town, and Wang Zhongfeng led all the way north and then eastward, occupying Houcun, Xihu, Chenzhuang, Nanhu and other towns, and isolating the passage between Rizhao County and Juzhou (Ju County); Meng Jiucheng and Han Shouzhong led another road to the county seat in the northeast direction.

The march was steady, and without a major battle, the two armies met at the foot of the county three days later as scheduled. Unlike in the past, this time the opponent was not a straggler or a landlord arm, but the defenders of the Jin State.

It's just that there are only a few hundred real Jin soldiers in the defenders, and the remaining more than 2,000 are people recruited by Zhao Tiancheng, the county commander, in the name of protecting the territory and rejecting the Kou. In the case of the surging activities of the rebellion against Jin, and the armed forces of all families are everywhere, Zhao Tiancheng worked hard to maintain it, guarding this inconspicuous county town for the Jin country, and Meng Jiucheng, who has the thinking of later generations, is really not good to evaluate.

Of course, Meng Jiucheng also knew that people thought differently at that time. The nearly 100-year rule of the Jin Dynasty has made many Han Chinese consider themselves to be the subjects of the Jin State. is loyal to the country, but Zhao Tiancheng is not the only one.

For example, Wan Yanting, the commander of the Flower Hat Army, who led the troops to suppress Yang An'er and Li Quan of the Red Jacket Army at that time, was a Han Chinese, formerly known as Li Ercuo, Yan Zhao Haojie, and was given the surname Wanyan for his merits; Zhang Hui, the fierce general in the elite "Flower Hat Army" of the Jin Army, nicknamed "Sai Zhang Fei", is also a Han Chinese. Even the last hero of the Jin Kingdom, Guo Shrimp Toad, is said to be Han Chinese.

Because of this, Meng Jiucheng felt that the theory of using nationality as a division was a bit biased. Since the Jin State was able to reuse the Han people and encompass them with surnames, didn't he have the heart to accept other ethnic groups?
