"What are you talking about, are you here to help in the war, why is it still related to the number of people?" Pan Mei was confused when she heard this, and asked in a low voice with a pair of Danfeng eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the words came out, his face instantly turned red again. Immediately, without waiting for Zheng Ziming to explain, he shook his head and sighed, "Where is he a green forest tycoon, this mind is simply a thorn in history! hehe, hehe......"

"If you are simple-minded, how can you be the chief scoop of the Northern Green Forest Road for so many years? I have long been eaten to the point that there are no bones left!" Zheng Ziming smiled, sorted out his clothes, and walked out of the door of the council hall quickly.

Although Pan Mei is resourceful, her age and experience are worse after all, and she can't guess the twists and turns in other people's stomachs at the first time. And Zheng Ziming himself, in the past two years, has tasted too much warmth and coldness. The reason why Hu Yancong only brought a few soldiers and horses to help the war is known without guessing.

Not long after the establishment of the Inspection Division, Lijiazhai is a big place. The villagers in the stockade all add up to only 800 and will fill two battalions. And Hu Yancong is now the commander of Liu Chong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and is qualified to command an army alone. Regardless of the level of official positions or the scale of the establishment under their command, they are far from throwing a district and local inspection out of a dozen streets.

Therefore, Hu Yancong brought less than 1,000 brothers to help, which just showed his sincerity. If he brought more than a thousand soldiers, and most of them were elites in a hundred battles, it would be difficult to say whether his real purpose was to help or to take the opportunity to swallow Li Jiazhai in one gulp. At the very least, it will be a question of who will be in command of the next battle.

However, sincerity is sincerity, if Hu Yancong said that he came here purely to help the war, Zheng Ziming would definitely not believe it. As the saying goes, no profit can't be early, and the experience of dealing with Huyan masters a few times in the past has proved this person's character. He will talk to you about righteousness, he understands Entu retribution, but expecting him to pay unilaterally but not take advantage of it, it is simply a fool's dream!

"But what else can Lao Tzu have for him here?" While braving the cold wind and walking towards the east gate of the village, Zheng Ziming frowned and meditated. The identity of the prince of the previous dynasty is definitely useless, it is a burden to Zheng Ziming himself, and it is impossible to bring benefits to others. And those ownerless villages and lands on both sides of the river, Huyan's big boss can take them back at any time if he wants to, and he can't look at Zheng's small inspection face. First of all, Zheng is just a friend of Chai Rong, and he can only be regarded as a dispensable pawn for the Guo family. Secondly, at present, the strength and influence of Liu Chong, the strength and influence of Hedong Jiedu are not much smaller than Guo Wei. Hu Yancong finally got into Liu Chong's carriage through Yang Chonggui's recommendation, and he couldn't easily change the court......

Walking all the way, thinking all the way, unconsciously, I went out of the gate of the military village. Before Zheng Ziming could look up and see the surrounding situation clearly, not far from the opposite side, Hu Yancong's rough greeting had already sounded, "Brother Ziming, you finally came out." Brother, I'm about to freeze out my nose! Your Li Jiazhai is really neat enough, and it is estimated that it is not much worse than the legendary Xiliu Camp!" (Note 1)

"The enemy is at present, and there must be no negligence. If there is any negligence among the brothers, please don't blame General Huyan!" Zheng Ziming smiled and arched his hand to explain. The complaints in Hu Yancong's words are regarded as mountain winds.

"It's not weird, it's not weird, my own brother, how can I pick my brother's gift!" Hu Yancong stepped forward with a big grin, and grabbed Zheng Ziming's shoulder, "I heard that you have exchanged hands with Youzhou soldiers here, so I immediately wanted to rush over to help." However, brother, you also know, brother, I can't help myself now. Just trying to find a way to ask Liu Jiedu for the order took a lot of effort. finally waited for Liu Jiedu's pass, and encountered heavy snow on the way. But don't worry, the rest will be left to my brother. How many Youzhou soldiers come, brother, I will help you kill as many as you want, and I will never let you get any bargains from you!"

"Then I'll thank General Huyan!" Zheng Ziming heard this, quickly took two steps back, and bowed down to sincerely thank the other party.

"Thank you, if it weren't for you a few days ago, my brother and I would have lost my life, how could I have survived until now? Brother, you have saved my life, and now that I am in trouble, of course I can't stand by as a brother!" Hu Yancong was taken aback by Zheng Ziming's movements, took half a step away from his body, and waved his hand again and again.

"In any case, General Gaoyi, Zheng will never dare to forget it in the future!" Zheng Ziming solemnly gave Hu Yancong a second salute, and then straightened his waist and sent out an invitation with a smile, "It's too cold, don't let the brothers freeze, General Huyan, please lead the soldiers and horses into the village with me!"

"Of course, I'm here, of course I'm going to go in and talk, but I'm not in a hurry. Hu Yancong waved his arm again, and then turned his gaze to his two sons, Hu Yanzan and Hu Yanyun, "Zhengchang, Shilong, come over to see the uncle of the Zheng family." He is your Lao Tzu and my savior, if it weren't for his wonderful rejuvenation, your Lao Tzu and I would have been buried in the ground!"

"I've seen it...... , I've seen ...... , Zheng ...... "Hu Yanzan and Hu Yanyun stepped forward to salute. His mouth was wet for a long time, but he could never call a guy younger than his age an uncle.

When Hu Yancong saw this, he immediately felt angry in his heart. He raised his arm and gave it to the back of his son's head, "Be louder, I haven't eaten enough." He is your Lao Tzu's savior, what happened to you two little bastards and uncle!"

"I've seen my uncle!" Yanzan and Hu Yanyun, the two brothers, had nothing to do with their ridiculous father, and bowed down again with a red face.

Zheng Ziming was willing to charge other people's elders, grabbed the front, grabbed a wrist with one hand, and stopped it loudly. "Two major generals, don't be polite, the three of us, brothers, brothers, brothers......!"

In the middle of his words, his voice suddenly stammered. The right hand was quickly released as if pricked by a needle, and it was hidden behind its back, and the five fingers kept curling and stretching. "The three of us, it's good to be brothers together. General Huyan and I will discuss it separately and again. ”

"Hahahaha...... Hu Yancong got carried away as if he had taken advantage of it, "Then brother, I'm going to be your elder." Good nephew, hurry up and lead the way. Uncle, I've been thinking about your liquor here, and I'm almost crawling out of my throat!"

"General Huyan, please! The two Huyan brothers are also invited!" On a cold day, Zheng Ziming saw sweat on his forehead, turned sideways to get out of the way, and at the same time stretched out his hand to invite Huyancong's father and son again.

Hu Yancong glanced at him triumphantly, raised his head, and walked in with his chin cocked. Hu Yanzan cast a helpless look at Zheng Ziming and led his soldiers to follow his father. There was only one Hu Yanyun left, his face was as if he had just been scalded by boiling water, red and purple, neither daring to say kind words nor make any complaints, he lowered his head and ran with small steps.

The other party didn't look up, and Zheng Ziming couldn't explain a few words if he wanted to. He took out his right hand from behind his back and looked at the sunlight again and again.

That's right, it was this hand just now that accidentally grabbed Huyan Shilong's wrist. In the palm of the hand, there is still a softness. If his judgment is correct, Huyan Shilong is a fake daughter! I was caught by myself when I met for the first time, this, this is an abrupt faux pas, but how should Zheng make amends?

When he was embarrassed to chop off his hand, Hu Yancong walked back from the military village leisurely. First stood beside Zheng Ziming and ordered the brothers under his command to pay attention to maintaining order and not to embarrass themselves. Blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, he is not majestic. When the brothers under his command entered the gate of the military village, he turned his head with a little smugness, and said loudly: "I can't hide it, brother, I came all the way this time, not only to help you in the war, but also to have one thing I need your help with!"

"What is the matter? General Huyan will never dare to resign as long as Zheng does what he can. Zheng Ziming's heart was weak, and he immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Hehe, hehe, brother, you are just happy! Brother, I didn't see the wrong person!" Hu Yancong laughed triumphantly a few times, not caring at all that his daughter had just been taken advantage of, "You also know, brother, I was originally the king of the mountain, and a large number of people under my command are counting on me to eat." Now although he has changed his career to become a general in the imperial court, the vacancies under his command are very limited, and it is impossible to arrange a good future for everyone, and a pair of children has become my brother's heart disease. So when I heard that the battle on your side was getting bigger and bigger, my brother I thought, is there a chance to do it? If you can give this kid Zhengchang and grab the next state and county to take care of it, won't all the troubles be completely solved?"

"Robbing a county seat, who are you going to snatch it from?" This time, Zheng Ziming was really taken aback, and the embarrassment in his heart disappeared.

"Of course, whoever snatches it from whom! In the hands of the people of the Liao Kingdom, in the hands of those few wrecks in the Great Han Kingdom, it's okay, brother, I don't pick the fat and the thin!" Hu Yancong raised his eyes and looked around, and the old god responded on the ground.

"You ......" Zheng Ziming was stunned again, and then gritted his teeth and cursed, "You old horseman, you are not afraid of dying!"

This border conflict between Liao and Liu Hanguo is now clearly developing in the direction of complete loss of control. When the war reaches a certain scale, there will inevitably be people who will fail the war, and some people will be punished for losing the city and land. And the positions and territories vacated by them will become a meal for the "vultures". Hu Yancong is not talented, and he is just one of the vultures.

"Die for the bold, starve for the timid!" Since Hu Yancong dares to do it, he is not afraid of being scolded. Pursed his lips, he replied confidently, "Before I got to you, I heard that two of the three jiedu envoys had surrendered, and one had already escaped the Yellow River! After the battle, instead of letting them continue to eat on the border, it is better to give the territory to you and me." Anyway, when the Liao people go south, you and I dare to stand in front!"
