Unconsciously, more than 20 days passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of one year again.

On this day, it was the twenty-seventh day of December in the first year of Xuanhe, and in Qingzhou City, Wusong Mansion was crowded.

It turned out that half a month ago, Zhou Tong got married, married Yan Wulu, and took advantage of this topic, Chao Gai led forty or fifty heroes, who came to drink the wedding wine, and the brothers who were distributed in various states as generals also came with congratulatory gifts.

The first is Yangsan.

With the death of Wang Qing and Tian Hu, the original four major forces were reshuffled, looking at the rivers and lakes, only Chao Gai and Fang La were two Yu Liang for a while, known as "the Holy Princes of the South and the King of the Heavens." "It is the one who holds the ears of the bull in the green forests of the world.

As a result, the momentum of Liangshan has become stronger and stronger, and many small mountains and small villages have come to vote, and now there are no less than 120,000 soldiers who can fight.

In addition, due to the repeated defeats of the Great Liao in recent years, the country's strength is declining, and the civil and military ministers are gradually losing control, and many people only care about their own wealth, ignore the ban and smuggle war horses. Hearing the wind, Tongque Trading House moved from Zheng Tianshou of Zengtou City and Chai Jin of Cangzhou to each other, taking the opportunity to desperately buy good horses and send them to Liangshan in a steady stream.

According to Chao Gai, now there are no less than 30,000 or 40,000 horse troops in Liangshan, Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo and other generals are overjoyed, and under the selection of the best, they have been trained to ride 3,000 tigers, 5,000 flying horses, and 8,000 leopards.

There are also elites in the infantry army, Lu Zhishen personally trained a thousand heavy armor foot soldiers, can be the best among them, all of them are selected to dare to die, wearing 60 pounds of heavy armor, hand axe, flail, etc., rushing to kill, the ground shakes the mountain, Wu Yong personally named it, called "trapped".

There are also 3,000 barbarian players trained by Xiang Chong and Li Gon, called "Swinging Warriors", and then 1,000 great swordsmen practiced by Guan Sheng, called "Breakers", and 300 demon soldiers left by Saint Fan Rui, and 1,000 each of the two parts of Water and Fire that will be re-refined by Holy Water and Shenhuo.

In addition to Liangshan, the generals of the rest of the states have also selected new troops, refined soldiers and horses, now as little as three or five thousand people, more than nearly 10,000 people, Lai, Qi, Wei, Zi, Mi, Deng, Qing seven states, plus a Gaotang Prefecture, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, of which 10,000 are cavalry.

These brothers, who were mixed into the imperial court as generals, came to Qingzhou this time, not only as a congratulatory gift to Zhou Tong, but also as a military letter issued by the imperial court.

Cao Cao read the dismissal order, and couldn't help but be shocked - according to what was written in it, the imperial court actually wanted to transfer soldiers and horses from several states to the Daimyo's Mansion to control the Liao State, and also to transfer soldiers and horses from several other states to Bianjing to prepare for the southern expedition to Fangla! Looking at this posture, he is actually preparing to fight on both sides, how can Lao Cao not be surprised? Could it be that he has been absent for a year, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty have all been occupied by demons? Otherwise, where would it be so crazy?

Lao Cao didn't know that the root of this strange thing was actually on Yelu Dashi.

At the beginning, Yelu Dashi escaped from Huining Mansion, Jin Danzi led his troops to pursue him, and he was alone on a horse, crisscrossing thousands of miles, and fled back to the territory of Liao, and informed Emperor Tianzuo that the Song Dynasty sent envoys to Jin and wanted to carry out an alliance.

Emperor Tianzuo listened to the proclamation, refused to believe a word, and laughed: "The monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, I know it: they are all wise and courageless, and it is expected that he has neither the wisdom of colluding with the Jin State, nor the courage to commit a big country. The old thief thought that I didn't study, but I didn't know the story of Cao Cao's battle against Han Sui and Ma Chao in the past, and I also knew the story of plotting to break the enemy. With my wisdom, is it comparable to Ma Chao? He set up this plan, wanting to deceive me into dividing his troops to fight the Song Kingdom, so that the old thief would take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, didn't he know that my discerning eyes had already seen through the old thief's heart, and he would be fooled? Hehe, such a shallow strategy, I have to deceive young people like Da Shi Linya. ”

Emperor Tianzuo's words said that Yelu Dashi had no foothold, but what he said was the three words of the anti-intermittent plan, but it gave Yelu Dashi some inspiration, and immediately sent many people to the Song Realm to spread rumors, and it was said that Liaojin was repaired, cut Liaodong Yujin, and sealed Agu as the king of Donghuai.

When the rumors spread, the Song court was really shaken, and the matter of forming an alliance with the Jin State was immediately shelved, and the Jin envoys Li Shanqing, Sandu, Boda, and all the servants who came with Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing were placed under house arrest, and the monarchs and ministers were panicked and discussed countermeasures.

Seeing the decline of the official family, the ministers were terrified, but Tong Guan held his head high and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Liao State cut off Liaodong to the Jurchen, and the national strength was greatly damaged. In this way, the ministers will not live up to the king's reuse, and His Majesty can also surpass the Tang Sect and the Yue Han Dynasty, and achieve the meritorious deeds of eternity! ”

Tong Guan said as soon as he spoke, and the whole house was shocked.

You must know that the founding of the Great Song Dynasty has been more than 100 years old, that is, when Emperor Taizu Taizong, so many ministers and fierce generals, none of them dared to say such big words!

Cai Jing was the first to jump out, his face full of sorrow: "Your Majesty, Tong Shumi has lost his mind and gone crazy, the old minister begs Your Majesty, read that he is dedicated to the country, and he has a lot of merit, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to treat him!" ”

Tong Guan was furious: "What did the Taishi say? How did the old man go crazy? ”

Cai Jing looked at this old comrade-in-arms and old opponent sadly: "You are not crazy, how can you make such wild words?" The old man knows that Lianjin's strategy to destroy Liao is your hard work for many years, and now once it is broken, he is so angry that he loses his mind, Your Majesty will not blame you, and we, the ministers, will not laugh at Yu Ling. ”

Zhao Guan's family was also full of sympathy and pity, and persuaded: "Tong Qing's family, I know your loyalty. But even if the strategy of Lianjin to destroy Liao is successful, our dynasty can recover the homeland of Youyun, which is also a blessing to invite the sky, and now this strategy has failed, and Youyun is not yet available, what do you say to destroy Liao and Jin, isn't it crazy to talk nonsense? Someone, hurry up and pass the royal doctor......"

But seeing Tong Guan's eyes shining and excited, the official couldn't help but be scared - what if he rushed forward and punched me a few times?

"Your Majesty!" Tong Guan shouted: "The old minister is not crazy!" Let's listen to the old minister! ”

Zhao Guanjia was frightened by him, and looked at Cai Jing, Cai Jing squeezed his eyes, and the official family took a look at him: Oh, coax him first, and wait for the imperial doctor to come! Immediately forced out a smile: "Okay, good, Lao Qing's family, please say, I and the ministers will listen!" ”

Tong Guan generously stated: "Your Majesty, Taishi, it turns out that I have always looked up to Liao Guoye!" The soldiers of the Liao State are strong and strong, this old thing a hundred years ago, now a hundred years of peace, they have long been vulnerable, this is not a lie of the old ministers. If it weren't for the old minister's careful questioning of Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing, the details of the envoy last time, I am afraid that now he is also like His Majesty and Taishi, and he thinks that Liao is strong. ”

Zhao Guanjia and Cai Jing glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, if Tong Guan was crazy, he would speak in an orderly manner. Cai Jing rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say: "The privy may as well talk about it in detail, how can we look down on the Liao State?" ”

Tong Guan hurriedly said: "This time the envoy, I sent the Qingzhou Jiedu envoy Wu Zhi to accompany him, and he brought a few generals to help the Jin and Liao people fight, and won several games in a row, playing a great reputation. Later, before the Jin chieftain Agu fought the royal drive, his subordinates clashed with the generals of the Jin State, and they also won many battles, which shows that the soldiers of the Song State are still better than the Jin State, and they are far better than the Liao State. ”

Zhao Guanjia was a little surprised when he heard this, and rolled his eyes and thought for a long time: "That festival envoy, I remember that Tian Hu and Wang Qing also made meritorious contributions, can he return to Qingzhou to serve now?" ”

Tong Guan shook his head and said: "Because of his bravery, he was left as a hostage by Ah Gu, and said that the next time the mission goes, he will let him come back, and now since Liaojin has made peace, most of them were killed by Ah Gu." ”

When Zhao Guanjia heard this, he couldn't help but smack his lips: "Ah, isn't it a pity?" ”

"What's the pity?" Tong Guan spread his hands: "I have ten major festival envoys, all of them are heroes, and there are generals of the Western Army, countless heroes in it, although Wu Zhi is brave, but for Liaojin, in my Great Song Army, no one can compare?" Others don't say it, just say that when he fought Wang Qing, he fought under Liu Yanqing, both of them were awarded the festival degree envoy because of their merits, and when they fought Tian Hu, it was also his brother Wu Song who killed Tian Hu in the army, and now although this Wu Zhi is dead, Liu Yanqing and Wu Song are there, and among the other generals, there may not be no brave men. ”

Zhao Guanjia nodded while listening, and his face gradually became excited: "In this way, I am a big Song...... Actually very strong? ”

"Very strong!" Tong Guan nodded decisively, and then sighed: "In fact, if it weren't for Wu Zhi's trip, Lao Chen would never have thought that the Liao State and the Jin State would be nothing more than that, although Wu Zhi died, it allowed us to see their true reality!" Your Majesty, in fact, why do we need to form an alliance with the Jin State? Destroying the Khitan first, and then swallowing the Jurchen, is a man's career! ”

In this dialogue between the monarch and the minister, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were first disdainful, then pondered, and finally couldn't help but get excited - Tong Shumi knew the generals of the army, and what he said was reasonable and well-founded, which was really convincing! Isn't it? We will send a military general to send an envoy at will, and the martial arts will shock foreign countries, what does it mean?

It shows that we are the strongest!

Just when the monarchs and ministers were excited, there was a sudden urgent report - Jiangnan turned against Fang La, and the situation was rotten.

The official family seemed to have been poured cold water on the head, and was suddenly shocked: "Ah, all the ministers, how is this good?" ”

In an instant, all the ministers were dumbfounded, and Taishi Cai was speechless, but the vicissitudes of the sea showed the true character of the hero, and at this juncture, it was Tong Shumi who shouted: "Your Majesty, don't worry!" And called the soldiers of Hebei and Shandong, gather the Daimyo's mansion, Chen Xiong's soldiers on the border, in order to deter the Liao State, if he comes to invade, then block it outside the country, and wait for the old minister to lead the western army, go south with the momentum of thunder, and wipe out Fang La in one fell swoop, and then lead the victorious army, return to the north, converge with the soldiers and horses of Hebei and Shandong, first collect the land of Yanyun Han, and then open the Great Song Dynasty in Liaodong, swear to be my emperor, open up thousands of miles, and achieve the heroic name of my emperor through the ages! ”

"Ahh Lao Qing's family! ”

Zhao Ji stood up with a snort! As a perceptual artist, at this moment, his artistic soul was burning, and he was deeply moved by Tong Guan's impassioned ambition.

O Lord of the Ages!

"If there is that day!" Zhao Guanjia's face was flushed, and he looked at the ministers in the hall and shouted: "I should be with Tong Qing's family, with Taishi Cai, and with all the ministers, and they will carry a thousand years of history!" ”

The ministers glanced at each other, and they all saw that the official family was completely on the ground at this time, who dared to spoil his interest? simply took a deep look at each other, and shouted in unison: "First collect Yanyun Han's land, and then open the Great Song Tian in Liaodong!" ”

On the same day, a letter of military dispatch was issued, and snowflakes were issued—

First point Henan and Hebei Jiedu envoy Wang Huan, Zhongshan Anping Jiedu envoy Zhang opened two roads of soldiers and horses, Chen Bing Daimyo Mansion, in order to prepare for the Liao army.

Mu Hong, the supervisor of the Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses, Sun Li, the supervisor of the Dengzhou Soldiers and Horses, Xiao Jiasui, the commander of the Zizhou Regiment, Zhu Jing, the commander of the Weizhou Regiment, Shi Xiu, the supervisor of the Laizhou Soldiers and Horses, and Yuan Lang, the commander of the Mizhou Regiment, each led the troops and horses of the headquarters and went to the Daimyo Mansion to help in the battle.

Then point to the six-way western army and conquer Fangla.

Which six ways? The first road Xihe soldiers, the main generals Xin Xingzong and Yang Wei, the second road Jingyuan soldiers, the main general Liu Zhen commanded, the third road Huanqing soldiers, the main generals Yang Keshi and Zhao Ming, the fourth road Yan soldiers, the main general Huang Di, the fifth road Qin Fengbing, the main general Ma Gongzhi, the sixth road Hedong soldiers, the main general Jijing.

The above six routes of soldiers and horses were all dispatched by Liu Yanqing, the envoy of the three cities of Henan, with a total of 150,000 troops inside and outside, and Tong Guan was personally in command.

Tong Guan was afraid of the lack of the ability to fight and kill the fierce generals, so he transferred the Laizhou defense envoy Lu Junyi, the Qingzhou regimental training envoy Du Bai, and the Gaotang Prefecture soldiers and horses to control the three generals of Wu Song, each leading the troops and horses of the headquarters, came to Bianjing to meet, and followed him to conquer Fang La.

Lao Cao naturally didn't know the cause and effect of the court, but he wanted to start a war with Fang La and Liao at the same time, so he was dumbfounded, and after thinking about it carefully, he asked Mu Hong and others to lead one or two thousand troops each to the Daimyo's mansion, and his own family went to Bianjing with Wu Song, Lu Junyi, and Du Yi to see the difference.

However, since it was necessary to transfer the western army, it would inevitably take some time, and Lao Cao immediately asked them to delay the time in the name of building weapons and rectifying soldiers and horses, and they were willing to wait until the birth of their nephew.

Wu Song's mansion was originally bought by Lao Cao for Li Shishi to live in, and later Hu Sanniang and others moved to Qingzhou, bought another mansion, and left it to Wu Song, Zong Yun'er produced, naturally in this mansion.

On this day, Zong Yun'er couldn't bear the boredom, Wu Song couldn't persuade her, she could only watch her practice martial arts with a big belly, and suddenly made a move, the gun was like a dragon, and suddenly felt abdominal pain, and immediately shouted at Wu Song: "Husband, the child seems to be coming out." ”

Wu Song was shocked, stepped forward and hugged to the room, fortunately all things were prepared, Wang Po and An Daoquan had been waiting in his house for a few days, and when they heard the sound, Wang Po hurriedly washed her hands and entered the room, delivering the baby for her, An Daoquan was outside to provide timely consultation, and the two complemented each other.

After a while, Cao Cao, Chao Gai and other brothers arrived, Wu Song's mansion was crowded, and after more than an hour, I suddenly heard a cry, and Wang Po shouted: "Congratulations to the second master, congratulations to the second master, the mother and son are safe, and the old martial arts family has added another young master!" ”

When Wu Song heard this, he hurriedly looked at Lao Cao, the two brothers looked up to the sky and laughed, Chao Gai and the others also laughed, and they were all happy for Wu Song. After a while, he washed the child and took it out, and let Wu Song go to see it, Wu Song's iron hands that hammered the big worm to death, holding the baby at the moment, it was like cotton, thanks to Lao Cao for him.

Chao Gai waited for coaxing, let Wu Song take the name, Wu Song thought for a while, and said slowly: "I gave birth to this child today, fortunately, the mother and son are safe, and the brothers laughed so much, so they called Wu Xiao." ”

I came back a little late today, and the computer crashed once when I was writing, and after restarting, I couldn't find more than 1,500 words alive or dead, so I could only rewrite and cry to death.

I didn't have time to pay the debt yesterday, so let's send it tomorrow! Thank you for your understanding.
