Northwest Yanzhou.

Since Yang Zongbao was transferred to Waqiao Pass to defend against the Liao, Chong Shiheng was appointed as the capital of the Yan Army.

As the Great Song Dynasty general, the seed family will be extremely well-known in later generations, which started from the seed Shiheng.

A few years ago, he used a discord scheme to kill the Yeli beggar brothers and cut off Yuan Hao's right-hand man, thus gaining fame......

It's March.

Chong Shiheng was at home, frowning and looking at the official document sent by the Privy Council.

Below sat his three sons.

Seeing that his father had read the official document for a long time, he didn't speak, so he couldn't help but say in a hurry:

"Dad, did the imperial court appoint you as the commander of the Third Route Army?"

Chong Shiheng glanced at him, shook his head and sighed:

"No, the imperial court ordered Cao Bin, the loyal Jingbo, to be the commander of the Yanyan army, and the inner attendant Ban Liangji to be the supervising army, and to be controlled by the Hedong army."

When Tanjiro heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily:

"Cao Bin, why is he? In terms of qualifications, he should also be the commander of the Yan Army. ”

Chong Dalang shook his head and said:

"Cao Bin still has some ability, Yuan Hao was calculated to death by him, and thwarted the Iron Harrier, pacified the King of Xiangyang, and defeated the female general of the Yang family during the military exercise."

Tane Jiro said disdainfully:

"Did he fight seriously? What the two armies need to confront each other is real skills, not something that can be done by training people for a few months and making them tricks and treacherous. ”

"This is an army of fifty or sixty thousand, I have heard that he does not practice martial arts, reads less military books, and is not as old as me, what will he do?"

Chong Saburo smiled: "If you want to talk about deception, second brother, you are the best at it......"

Chong Shiheng waved his hand and said:

"Okay, don't argue, Cao Bin is also from the gate, even if he is a little squirrel, it won't drag us down."

"I'm worried about Tong Guan and Liang Ji, and most of the people who come out of the palace are difficult."

Chong Dalang asked, "Father, who is this Liang Ji?" ”

Chong Shiheng said: "He was originally the chief minister of Princess Zhaoyang's mansion, and not long ago he was promoted to the 'Inner Attendant Escort Class' and released from the prison Yan Army. ”

Tane Da Lang nodded and added:

"There is also the Transshipment Division, these days, the food sent to us is all old grain, and the amount is much less, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be targeted at our family, right?"

Chong Shiheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It should be Chong Cao Bin, I heard that he is not compatible with Cai Jing." ”

Tane Erlang frowned and said:

"Is there any fight in this battle?"

"Cao Bin can't help, just have to trouble us."

Tanesaburo rolled his eyes and said:

"The second brother also said that others, you offended Tong Guan and said that he was not a man, in the past few years, the servants who came out of the palace have been very hostile to our family."

After saying that, he himself was dumbfounded, and after looking around, Cao Bin added his own family and offended everyone who could be offended.

Is this going to Western Xia to fight, or is it going to die?

There may be more trouble from the Great Song Dynasty than from the Western Xia side.

At this moment, a soldier came to report:

"General, Zhongjing Bo sent someone to inform that the army has entered the territory of Yanzhou and will arrive in the evening today."

"Adults should prepare camps and meals."

Chong Shiheng waved his hand and said, "I know, you can step back first." ”

As he spoke, he got up and said to his three sons, "Go and order five hundred soldiers, and go with your father to meet Uncle Zhongjing." ”

Chong Er was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment:

"Father, no, why don't you give him a dismount and let him listen to us?"

"Anyway, he only brought more than 5,000 people, and our Yan army is the main force."

Chong Shiheng glared at him and said:

"Hugh wants to talk nonsense, he is the chief general appointed by the imperial court, do you want to be impeached?"

Then he changed into his official uniform, flew on his horse, took his three sons to make peace with the soldiers, and went straight to Cao Bin's direction.

By the time they arrived at Kulichuan, it was nearly noon.

Cao Bin and his entourage were camping on the riverbank, and Chong Er frowned and said:

"No wonder they walked for more than a month before they arrived in Yanzhou, and they even had to camp and rest at noon?"

Chong Shiheng waved his hand and said, "That's right, and look at his methods." ”

As he spoke, he had already beaten his horse and ran towards a high slope.

Chong Da came behind Chong Shiheng, looked at Cao Bin's camp from a distance, and exclaimed: "What a strict camp." ”

Chong Er also looked over, only to see that the camp was layered on top of each other, and there was no shortage of arrow towers, echoing before and after, far and near, like a huge battle array.

In just a few moments, the camp had been visibly established.

He couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Is this the general who has been moved here?" How did it build so fast? ”

Chong Shiheng nodded and said, "It seems that this Cao Bin has real skills, and we are worried about it." ”

But he pouted and said, "I have the ability, but it's just camping." ”

At this moment, a group of soldiers flew into the horses, and shouted:

"Who are you waiting for, why are you peeping into our camp?"

Chong Shiheng arched his hand and said: "Yan Yanchuan has jurisdiction over Chong Shiheng to greet Uncle Zhongjing!" ”

The head of the junior colonel hurriedly returned the salute: "I didn't expect the general to be so polite, you can wait with me into the camp." ”

In a moment, the father and son of the Chong clan had already entered the camp with the patrol soldiers.

At this time, they really realized the power of those soldiers who built the camp.

I saw more than 2,000 soldiers, more skilled than professional craftsmen, repairing the village and building camps like flowing water in the same industry, almost no waste of manpower.

Watching them camp seemed to turn into a treat.

Chong Dalang couldn't help but ask:

"This general, your ability to camp is too powerful, how did Zhongjing Bo train him?"

He remembered that these soldiers had only been training for four or five months, and they were so sophisticated in camping?

But the little colonel laughed:

"Don't dare to call a general...... Of course they are skilled, because that's what they can do to eat. ”

"Do you know about the Bianjing Construction Camp? They trained and built estates to earn money to support themselves. ”

As he spoke, he laughed and said:

"How many generals need to build a manor? If you need it, we'll give you a 20% discount. ”

"If you have any other business, you can also introduce it to us......"

The father and son of the seed family were speechless for a moment, looking at each other, this still makes the business to the frontier?

Chong Er couldn't help laughing, gave a thumbs up and said, "Zhongjing Bo is really whimsical, imaginative!" ”

The little colonel looked at him with disdain, and said:

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"We are unpaid government soldiers, what can we do."

"Uncle Cao Bin can only use this method to make us self-sufficient."

Chong Er looked at the soldiers around him with ruddy faces, and his laughter stopped abruptly, and he thought about it.

At this time, the little colonel said: "It's here, Uncle Cao and the prison army are in the tent, I'll go and report it." ”

"The Overseers are there too?"

Chong Dalang's face changed, he slapped his thigh, and said with annoyance:

"Broken, forgot to bring a present, how is this good?"

"If you come empty-handed, won't the prison army hold a grudge?"

The second kind of said:

"Big brother, don't worry about having too many debts anyway, even if you give gifts, those eunuchs won't let us go, why bother doing it many times?"
