"In Han Zhuo, Xiayouzhou, the word tree person, I have seen two generals. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info八√一★√く.く★く★く.√★" The jade-faced man took the initiative to look away, arched his hand, and introduced himself with a smile.

"You are poor, who gave you the guts......" As soon as the feeling of being stripped naked and looked at was gone, Yeluchi immediately became angry, raised his whip and whipped his head.

His arm was grabbed by Han Dexin. "Big brother, Hugh is rude. Brother Han Shi, my elder brother has little reading and is short-tempered, please don't be like him. ”

The second half of the sentence was said to the jade-faced scholar. There's a clear sign of weakness in it. After hearing this, the jade-faced scholar Han Zhuo didn't think much of himself, smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Brother Ling is a general in the battle, how can he not have any anger at all?

"Thank you, brother!" Han Dexin heard this, and instantly quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He arched his hand again and thanked him with a smile.

"The general is polite!" Han Zhuo smiled indifferently and waved his hand lightly again.

"He, he, second, do you know him?" Although Jeruchi was crude by nature, he was not a fool. Feeling that his twin brother's attitude was obviously wrong, he was stunned and turned his head to ask.

Han Dexin didn't answer his words directly, and continued to smile and talk to Han Zhuo, "It should be, it should be, that is, the world brother is generous, if you change someone else, you will definitely not give up with him." Since the world brother was born in the Han clan in Youzhou, he must be the same clan as Duke Lu. Dare to ask Brother Shi, how do you fit in with Lord Taiwei?" (Note)

"Lord Taiwei is my father!" Han Zhuo shook his fist towards the north and responded with a smile. There is no trace of the frivolity of the children of the family.

At this moment, Jeruchi was completely stunned. The horsewhip in his hand suddenly became more than a thousand pounds, and before he knew it, he fell on the snow, and in a blink of an eye, he was trampled by the horse's hooves and disappeared.

Han Yanhui, the Duke of Lu, and Han Deshu, the Taiwei, are all dignitaries whose status is not under his uncle Han Kuanghei. In particular, Han Yanhui is the founding father who served three emperors one after another, with great merit and prestige, and is highly valued by the current Liao Emperor Yelu Ruan. Today, he actually wants to whip his grandson, it is really a mouse licking the cat's nose, and he is tired of looking for death.

Although he had already guessed a clue in advance, at this moment, Han Dexin's shock was no less than that of Yelu Chiinu. Dizzy and stood on the back of the horse for a while, before he finally came back to his senses, smiled and saluted the other party again: "It turned out to be the world brother of the Taiwei Mansion, disrespectful, disrespectful." My brother and I were so blind just now that we almost saw you as General Ma's staff!"

As he spoke, he clasped his fists in front of his chest, bent forward, and pressed his forehead directly against the neck of the war horse.

"You're polite, Brother Dexin doesn't have to be so polite!" Han Zhuo, a jade-faced scholar, opened his body a little sideways, and also bowed his body to the horse's neck, returning the favor with the courtesy of his peers, "At this time, he is indeed serving as a secretary in the army by General Ma's side, and it is not wrong to say that he is his staff!"

"...... join the army?" Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin couldn't believe their ears at all, so they were stunned and instinctively asked.

Although the secretary also joined the army with the word "join the army", he could not be regarded as an official official of the imperial court, and would only be regarded as a confidant and strategist privately hired by the main general. His salary is also paid by the appointee privately, and the court never bears a penny or a luxury.

Therefore, at present, the descendants of high-ranking Han officials in the Great Liao Kingdom, whether they want to improve their qualifications or simply to eat a bowl of rice, will not choose to join the army as a secretary for others. I have to be busy every day, not to mention that the chances of becoming a regular and promoted in the future are also very slim. Unless the Lord is really lucky, he can hope to follow the "chicken dog to heaven". (Note 2)

"A certain person went out to practice on the order of his father, and it happened that General Ma returned south after escorting him. So he simply became his helper. As if he could guess what the two brothers Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin were thinking, Han Zuo smiled indifferently and explained in a low voice.

"Ah......h , the mind of the world uncle and the world brother, ordinary people can't reach it!" Han Dexin listened, but there was a thunderstorm in his mind, arching his hands, and admiring repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, extraordinary people do extraordinary things. Ordinary people can't understand it at all!"

Han Zhuo's Youzhou Han family, and the Jizhou Han family behind them, are now indistinguishable in terms of strength. And Ma Yanxu's father, Ma Dingqing, has recently gained a lot of power in front of the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Ruan. Therefore, in any case, the brothers should not continue to deepen the "misunderstanding" with each other.

The jade-faced scholar Han Zuo is also a person who knows the depths. Seeing that Han Dexin and Yelu Chi Dog were respectful, they smiled again and responded in a low voice, "It's not an extraordinary thing, I've been studying all the time, and I've never been on the battlefield, so I have to find a chance to see it first." And General Ma and I are originally close friends, if I don't follow him, who else can I trouble?"

"That's, that's!" Yelu Chiinu and Han Dexin nodded with a smile. But in his heart, he was bitter, he knew that this surname Han and the surname Ma were close friends, how could Lao Tzu say the bad things behind him so loudly? In the future, the surname Han and the surname Ma will join forces, where will Lao Tzu have a good life?

Just when he regretted that he had nowhere to buy medicine to eat, he heard Han Zhuo remind with a smile: "Since the two of you call me brother, I won't be polite to the two." What you just said was too unfair to General Ma. If nothing else, I can guarantee that he has absolutely no intention of embarrassing you both!"

"Yes, yes, we, Brother Shi, don't mention this stubble, the two of us were blown by the cold wind and broke our heads!" Han Dexin suddenly blushed with shame, raised his hand, and gave himself a slap before repenting loudly.

"Yes, it's our brothers who don't know good people's hearts, and they don't know good people's hearts. Brother Shi, whether it is a beating or a punishment, our brothers have both confessed!" Yelu Chi Dog also blushed and took the initiative to apologize.

"Forget it, don't worry, I won't mention this to anyone again, including General Feng. Han Zhuo knew the thoughts of the two of them, and waved his hand lazily. "Actually, it doesn't matter, he's always been very upright, and he doesn't care about these at all!"

Hearing this, the two brothers, Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin, turned even redder, and they really wanted to find a snow nest and go into it directly, and never came out to see anyone again.

It was so embarrassing, not only because Han Zhuo was stronger than them, but he asked himself, in addition to leaving the two of them at the end of the team and ignoring them, the Blue Wolf Army commanded Ma Yanxu, and indeed did not do anything excessive. If you lose a battle, you must have an explanation, and atonement is the lightest, and it is also the most beneficial treatment plan for the two. Of course, the premise is that this expedition will definitely be able to return triumphantly.

Thinking of this, Han Dexin Xun glanced at the front of the team twice, then turned around again, arched his hand and explained to Han Zhuo: "Dare to let the world brother know, our brothers are not completely ignorant. But, but this time, the commander, the horse, the commander of the horse is indeed a little reckless. That, that Lijiazhai is not an ordinary fortress. Not only does Zheng Ziming, the owner of the village, have the courage of ten thousand people, but the countryside under his command is also a strictly trained elite soldier, armor, weapons, bows and arrows, all of which are the same as the regular soldiers of the Han State. ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Han Zhuo frowned slightly, and he was skeptical.

Ma Yanxu created an opportunity for the two brothers Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin to make meritorious contributions to atone for their sins, which was indeed out of good intentions. But if they suffer another defeat, it is equivalent to being kind but will push the two into the trap, and it is no wonder that the brothers scolded along the way.

"If, if we tell half a lie, then, let our brothers freeze to death in the middle of the road!" Yelu Chi was anxious, and seeing that Han Zhuo didn't believe his words, he waved his arms and swore loudly, "It's not the first time that our brothers have led the troops, no matter how negligent they are, can they still fight the whole army with a group of ordinary villagers?" But General Ma didn't ask about the strength of that Li Jiazhai, so he thought about sending troops directly to seek peace. This, this day and time are favorable, people and everything is not touched, he, where can he be sure of victory!"

"Yes, Brother Shuren, since you are close friends with General Ma, please remind him that the enemy army is so vulnerable to him!" Since his brother has said such a thing, Han Dexin simply explained his thoughts and worries one by one, "We are tired from afar, but the other party is waiting for work, this is one of them." We braved the wind and snow, while the other party was squatting in the house to roast and eat meat, which is the second thing. Let's treat each other as ordinary villagers, but the other party knows our general strength, which is the third. Let's ......"

In one breath, I said four or five. No matter which way you look at it, you don't have any chance of winning. However, when Han Zhuo, who joined the army in the book, heard this, he just shook his head and said nothing. After a while, he suddenly sighed and said faintly: "It doesn't matter if you have a chance to win, or if you don't have a chance to win, since you have come here, there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway." Moreover, the two virtuous brothers only saw a temporary victory or defeat on the battlefield, but they did not see the unpredictable situation outside the battlefield. To tell you the truth, we must fight this battle, whether we win or lose. Otherwise, not only will the future of General Ma and the two of them be affected, but a large number of people will also be affected! At that time, even if Your Majesty does not severely punish you for the sake of your fathers, at least within five years, the two of you will want to turn over easily!"

"Huh?" Yelu Chi Inu and Han Dexin looked at each other, and they both saw a suspicious taste in each other's eyes.

If the main general Zheng Ziming is not taken into account, then Lijiazhai is an ordinary military village, and whether it is taken or not is just a matter of face for the Liao army, and it is not a matter of urgency at all. And with the background of their brothers, even if they are punished for losing the battle, they are at most cutting their jobs for the people. As soon as the rumors pass, you can change the team and lead the troops again, why is it five years in a row?

"According to the family tree, the two of them should be Germans, right? Can you ask how many brothers are there among your two peers?" The voice was not high, but like a cold wind, it pierced directly into the bone marrow of the brothers.

"Hmm!" The bodies of Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin shook at the same time, and their hands and feet were cold.

The strength of the Han family in Jizhou is very strong, but it can indeed be called flourishing. There are as many as eleven cousins belonging to the main branch alone, and the rest of the side branches and distant brothers must be more than 100 together. And even if the second uncle Han Kuangsi is powerful, it is impossible to promote all of these more than 100 sons and nephews to a high position above the fifth rank. Among them, it is necessary to distinguish between relatives and distances, and the level of cultivation value. If someone gets an opportunity but doesn't know how to cherish it, presumably the second uncle doesn't mind giving the opportunity to someone else.

"Since the two of you are so young, you can each lead a battalion of soldiers and horses, and they must be the best among their peers!" As if worried that the blow on the head just now was not heavy enough, the jade-faced scholar Han Zhuo raised his arms again without waiting for Han Dexin and his brothers to recover from their senses, "But if the two of them become the handle of others attacking the Han clan in Jizhou, I don't know how much family interests the privy envoy will be willing to give up in exchange for the safety of the two of you?"

"You, you talk nonsense, scare us with nonsense! I, we are not afraid, we are not afraid!"

"Brother Hugh wants to be alarmist! My Han family has made great contributions to Da Liao, for no reason, who will use our brothers as a handle?"

Yelu Chi Dog and Han Dexin were in a hurry, and they screamed in a low voice.

The second question raised by the other party didn't need to be thought about at all, if the brothers' defeat really affected the safety of the family, I am afraid that the elders would not hesitate to treat the two of them as outcasts. This is the way of inheritance of the big family for thousands of years, and any surname will do this, and Jizhou Han is absolutely no exception.

"Two virtuous brothers, don't be impatient!" Han Zhuo still looked like he was holding the Zhizhu in his hand before, smiled, and waved his hand gently, "Do you know the reason why Brother Yanxu can return to the army so quickly?"

"He, he finished sending supplies and slaves, of course he can rush back!" Yelu Chi Dog didn't understand how this matter was related to Ma Yanxu, the commander of the capital, shook his head, and responded with confusion.

Han Dexin was much smarter than him, pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "The reason why General Ma was able to return so quickly is due to the newly implemented land grant order of the imperial court. But the grant order is clearly a good policy for Da Liao. Why did you make my Jizhou Han family under attack again? The younger brother is stupid, please give me advice. ”

"Don't dare!" Han Zhuo smiled weirdly, and suddenly looked left and right at him, "The ancestor once offered Emperor Taizu the strategy of 'Hu and Han partition', what do you think of this strategy?" (Note)

"This ......" Yelu Chi Dog was too lazy to read, and he didn't know what the 'Hu Han Partition' was, so he was immediately speechless.

Han Dexin's face became more solemn. After pondering silently for a long time, he let out a long breath of white air and said in a low voice: "Brother Shi, don't blame, the policy of 'Hu and Han Division' offered by Duke Lu to Emperor Taizu was a first-class strategy at that time. My Daliao can be as strong as it is today, thanks to this. However, in my country, the Khitan and Han people have always been clearly distinguished, and I am afraid it is also closely related to this policy. Within a country, too much emphasis is placed on the differences between ethnic groups and there is no equal treatment among them. It's like a family that cares too much about who is the long house and who is the side branch, and in the long run, it may not be a good thing!"

"Well said, does that virtuous brother know why the ancestor of the family wants to give Emperor Taizu this obviously flawed policy? The ancestor has no eyes, and the ministers have no eyes? If it weren't for the fact that the Manchu Dynasty of the Great Liao Kingdom was all eyeless, why did the imperial court know that it was flawed for decades, but did not change it?" Han Zhuo laughed and stroked his palms, as if he had finally found a bosom friend.

"This ......" It was very cold, but large beads of sweat oozed from Han Dexin's head.

He didn't have the courage to say that Han Yanhui, the Duke of Lu, was blind and blind! Accusing all the civil officials of the Great Liao State of having no beads of eyes, it was even more necessary to weigh the weight of his own head. If the flaws of the "Hu-Han partition" policy have long been recognized, but it has not been able to change it so far, I am afraid that there is only one answer......

"It's not a thing, it's beyond my strength!" raised his hand and wiped it on his head, Han Dexin said in a very low voice with a hoarse voice. "The rule of law by Hu made the Han people flee south. If the Han rule is ruled by the Hu, the Khitan tribes will attack the rulers. Even if the Divine Martial Arts of the Ether Ancestor is unavoidable, it will not be able to avoid its shattered bones!"

"What about the policy of granting land? For the elders of the Khitan tribes, how is this strategy better than the 'Hu and Han divisions'?" Han Zuo's question came again, caught in the middle of the white-haired wind, and froze Han Dexin directly on the back of the pack horse.

Note: Han Yanhui, the Duke of Lu, was a famous minister in the early Liao Dynasty, and was very valued by Yelu Abao. once gave advice to Abaoji and destroyed dozens of countries. After Abaoji's death, Yelu Deguang and Yelu Ruan also entrusted him with important tasks. His son Han Deshu was awarded the title of Tai Lieutenant at the age of 2, and he also made great contributions to the Liao State.

Note 2: Liu An, the king of Huainan, became a god, and his chicken dog also soared with the sun. Therefore, the allusion of the ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven was left, referring to the fact that some minions were promoted to official wealth because of the blessing of their masters.

Note 3: Emperor Taizu refers to Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji.
