In front of Wang Cong'er, he mixed a familiar secretary's surname Xiao, whose name is Daguan, but unfortunately his Xiao character is hung in the Xiao clan of Lanling, but it is not the Xi people of the Daliao clan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the name Xiao Daguan was obtained very coincidentally, the Lanling Xiao clan in Hebei experienced the chaos of the five dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty, and the conquest of the Song-Liao border had long been defeated. Not to mention that like the Yutian Han family, the father and son have been in Yelu Abaoji for several generations, first took refuge in Yelu Abaoji, and then favored Xiao Yanyan, laid a good family business, and fought with the Yelu family and the Xiao family, but Xiao Daguan had no hope.

As for those powerful families in Liao, who built a continuous manor dock fort, took advantage of the Song and Liao trade, and gave the Great Liao royal princes the "white gloves" of returning to the north and the south, and then trained a few children to go to the imperial examination of the Liao State and become a southern official, Xiao Daguan's family did not have the capital.

The Xiao family has been mixed for several generations, and it is just a family heirloom in the yamen, and the most glorious one is just that the grandfather's generation has been a charger. If Xiao Daguan still has any legacy of the Lanling Xiao family, it is that the belief in Buddhism is quite a bit of the inheritance of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang.

But to say that Xiao Daguan was willing to use his family wealth to invite monks to eat fast and fill the Buddha statue with gold, it would also be a misunderstanding of him - although Xiao Daguan and his grandfather's generation were a charge priest, and they also had a reputation for fighting righteousness and light money, but the family property was also ruined a lot, and he was involved in a case of heroes in the rivers and lakes, and the savings of several generations were almost ruined. If it weren't for Xiao Zhisi's familiarity in the yamen, he sent his son to the yamen as an official, I am afraid that the Xiao family would have to be defeated from now on.

In the final analysis, not everyone in the yamen knows that Zhou Bofu of Zhizhou is a famous character with soft ears and hard knees, and Zhou Zhizhou can say a hundred words, but he can't beat Mrs. Zhou's words. That Mrs. Zhou was a person who liked to read the Buddha and read the scriptures, and Xiao Daguan also relied on the ancestral Buddhism of the Xiao family, and often got some rare Buddhist scriptures to get married to Mrs. Zhou, which was regarded as a foothold in the yamen.

After the "Great Song Dynasty Taoist officials" took over Zhuozhou, Xiao Daguan, who had read a few books and was half a well-dressed person in Daliao, quickly made up his mind and threw all his ancestors and beliefs, Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, and Shakyamuni Buddha, to the other side of Mount Meru.

Although Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu has been scolding "the old family's sincere and evil ways", and shouting "I would rather enter the hell of the Buddha than seek the immortality of the old family", but for a small official who was still in the prime of life, the theory of immortality certainly made him feel ethereal, and hell was not a big talk about bald donkeys cheating incense?

Relatively comparatively, the Taoist officials of the Great Song Dynasty should be able to change their white clothes into green robes, not to mention the official positions of post and dispatch, that is, a petty official who invites Lang in the court, Xiao Daguan is also willing to write a "Liang Wu Emperor Xiao Yan believes in evil but does not believe in the Tao and destroys the country and dies", and sticks it to the gate of Ruiguang Temple in the city.

And in the place he didn't know, in the "List of Liaoguo Leading the Way Party Worthy of Development in the Near Future" compiled by Wang Cong'er, Xiao Daguan was already in a very conspicuous position.

Now, in order to show his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty officials and the Great Song Taoist officials, Xiao Daguan almost lived on the edge of the porridge field with his family's pale head.

So, when Yan Fulong escorted the batch of relief rations supported by Zhu Mingdan Tianfu back to Zhuozhou City, and began to replace the original porridge with the brick-like relief rations made of sweet potato flour, bean dregs powder, and miscellaneous fish meal in a planned way, this matter was naturally handed over to Xiao Daguan for disposal.

The ice and snow collected by the strong laborers of the refugees gradually melted in the cauldrons, and Xiao Daguan took the old man of his family and watched the porridge man clumsily unwrap the paper bags tightly wrapped in mulberry paper, revealing the brick-like relief rations.

Xiao Daguan stared at the brownish-gray "bricks", and his first thought was: "This thing can also be eaten?"

But when he thought about it, the hungry people in the famine year, even the Guanyin soil was regarded as a thing to satisfy hunger, and this "brick" didn't look very good, but when he got it to his nose and smelled it, there was still a little bit of grain aroma, which looked much better than Guanyin soil.

With the idea of "Anyway, I won't eat the dead like Guanyin's soil", Xiao Daguan nodded to the man, took a few "bricks" first, and smashed them with a big hammer for a while according to the instructions on the mulberry paper, and finally smashed the "bricks" that were as hard as stones into small pieces, and then threw them into the pot.

The pieces sank stubbornly in the cauldron, but the hot water slowly soaked into the relief rations, and the dried potato powder, bean dregs powder, and miscellaneous fish meal gradually peeled off the "bricks", and the aroma of grain and oil slowly rose from the pot.

It's just that the aroma is mixed with a particularly obvious earthy smell, which is the earthworm powder and mealworm powder mixed in it, and with the steam in the pot, trying to show its presence to the displaced people who are surrounded on all sides.

Smelling the mixed earthy aroma, even Xiao Daguan had to admit that the brownish-gray paste in the pot was much stronger than the old grain in the official warehouse that he counted under the pot before.

He motioned for the man to fill a small spoonful of brownish-gray paste, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and a slightly salty and sweet taste mixed with some earthy smell and oily aroma slowly filled his mouth. Although there are some weird flavors in it, and the texture is a little rough, not like fine grains, but it is not difficult to drink.

Xiao Daguan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Da Song is really rich all over the world, and even this famine-saving paste for refugees has such a delicious taste!"

Even Xiao Daguan, who had never tasted hunger much, was so emotional, and the refugees who smelled the smell of relief rations after boiling became even more excited.

Although Yan Fulong and others, who had mastered the storage of the Zhuozhou government, had mobilized as much grain and rice as possible to ensure that these Yandi refugees would not freeze and starve to death, many materials were not so easy to get at the moment of the last days of the Great Liao.

At least at this moment, the smell of grease in the boiled relief rations made many refugees feel as if they were already in Elysium.

Xiao Daguan didn't have any superfluous emotions, just glanced at the black and oppressive refugees, and then pouted at the cangtou beside him: "Take people, take a stick down, and tell these troublesome countrymen to learn some rules and line up!

......

.........

Xiao Daguan was trying to maintain the discipline of the porridge field, but a few miles away from the south gate of Zhuozhou, a team of people and horses were hurrying in.

In the horse team, there is a bit of elegance and civility in the appearance of the Han of the leading army, although he wears a common Fan Yang hat of the Song army, but his body is the same as a cloak and leather armor, and the high war horse produced by Liao at a glance hangs a victory hook on the saddle and hangs a silver spear.

In the Song army, it was only a few generations of heirlooms that the little warriors could afford to buy. Not to mention, the leather armor on the soldier's body, the cloak to protect him from the cold, and the saddle on the horse's body are all extremely delicately dotted, and even on the leather armor, there are master craftsmen who draw lines to outline the pattern of the leopard pounceing on food.

Dressed like this, well-informed people can know at a glance that this kind of dotted armor is a unique custom of the children of the Bianliang Forbidden Army, and most of the leather armor is also specially created by the master craftsmen in Bianliang City. This kind of armor is often worn every year when Jin Mingchi performs martial arts, and it is specially worn to decorate the official family in the prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty, not so much as the military armament, but the same as the costumes worn by the Haiyu in the Washe - it is not said that it is exquisite and good-looking, but if the real sword and gun are killed, then it is really useless at all.

The children of the Bianliang Forbidden Army wearing this kind of armor are put in front of the old soldiers of the Western Army, who have been fighting for their lives in the Western Xia for generations, and they can only be spurned -- they want to fight in battle, they want to hold a tenge and wear heavy armor, and they want to look good in such an empty space, but they give people a knife to stab a hole? The Bianliang Forbidden Army, which was raised in Tokyo to the point that its bones have fallen off, is even more a joke that cannot be put on the battlefield and cannot be killed!

However, the knights of the Western Army in the horse team did not have any contempt, but looked like the military man wearing Fan Yangli.

Among these men of the Western Army, there is a young general, who looks no more than 20 years old, but he has rough eyebrows and a large figure, which is the standard image of the Kansai Han called "copper skin and iron bones" by Su Dongpo.

This army general gathered his horse and walked forward with the military man who wore Fan Yangli, with a smile on his face, as if it was not the cold winter Layue deep into the territory of Liao, but the third day of March, and from time to time he also said a few words to the military man: "The first few generations of the Lin Sect lived in Bianliang, but they still have the spirit of our good men of the Western Army. This time the Liao attack is successful, and then go back to Bianliang and the official Jin Mingchi to perform arts, there is no delay in the martial arts of the head of the sect, it is better to transfer to our Xihe army, and I will ensure that you will also be a general!"

Listening to the general's words, Lin Chong, who was wearing Fan Yangli, just smiled, and immediately returned the salute: "Captain Xiao Yao's words are to kill the last general, my family has been begging for a living in the forbidden army for several generations, and it has been valued by the officials, and it has been transferred to the envoys, how can there be any reason not to repay the service?

The young military general known as "Little Yao Taiwei" was Yao Pingzhong, the nephew of Yao Gu, the envoy of Xihe Road, who had always been called Xiao Taiwei in Guanxi. His father died early, and he passed on to his uncle Yao Gu, who worked under Yao Gu's tent when he was a teenager, and the two were both uncle and nephew and father and son, and their enthusiasm for fame was even more ordinary. At the beginning, when Tong Guan was in the Western Army, Yao Pingzhong also made many military exploits under this Tong Xuanfu's account, but in front of Tong Guan, he didn't want any money, so he just begged Tong Guan to take him to Bianliang to face the saint.

is so keen on fame, and is one of the few generals in the Western Army, he was naturally put into another book by Tong Guan, not to mention going to Bianliang Face Saint, even military merits have given Tong Guan a lot. So this time, the Western Army contacted Zhuoyi Erzhou, and this little Captain Yao, who had a grudge against Tong Guan, became the first person to be the first candidate.

What's more, the elite of the Xihe Army led by Yao Pingzhong has always been known for its long-distance attacks, and it is not necessary for him to open up the road from the Song army to Zhuoyi and the two states as soon as possible, and to receive the surrender of the two states.

As the representative of the Western Army, it is the primary purpose to reach a deal with the people of Erzhou as soon as possible, and to hold the initiative of the Liao invasion firmly in the hands of the Western Army.

Yao Pingzhong is a disciple of the general, and he has been in the army for a long time, and the longer he travels, the more energetic he becomes, and he can't see any fatigue. At this time, he still had the heart to inquire about the situation in Lin Chong -- Xu Xuanling was a Taoist official, and he didn't have any private power, not even a few Taoist boys, how could he say that Zhuoyi Erzhou had to be surrendered? If the Western Army wants to negotiate the price, who should they talk to, and what price to pay, all these things will fall on him Xiao Taiwei Yao!

Lin Chong just avoided answering these side questions, but his eyes were all on the front - several generations of people have been under the sinking of Bianliang, but now he has broken through the top of the official star, first he was promoted to a small envoy, and now he has the opportunity to make contributions in the war against Liao, he is not shocked when he looks at the leopard head, and his heart is already hot!

And another Great Song army horse, the Huanqing Army under Liu Yanqing, was also surrounded by two green-robed officials at this moment, hurrying towards Zhuozhou.

Although they are all official attire in green robes and fish bags, the young man on his head still reveals his identity as a military attaché, and his young and energetic face certainly belongs to Ma Kuo, the son of the general of the Western Army who once ran in Bianliang and tried to promote the war against Liao.

The other person next to Ma Kuo had a less healthy and energetic face, which could be summed up in three words: "black", "fat", and "unlucky", with all the characteristics of those petty bureaucrats who were unwilling to sink into the subordinates. But on that black and fat face, there was a kind of morbid excitement after turning over and becoming the master, compared to the little captain Yao Pingzhong, the fame and enthusiasm in the eyes of this black fat man were only more, not less.

This black fat man's surname is Ma Mingzhi, and he is still half of the same clan as Ma Kuo, but in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, his name given by Zhao Jiqin is more well-known, and that name is "Zhao Liangsi". Whether it is the Song-Jin Maritime Alliance or the current war against Liao, this name is a lingering shadow, and it haunts from time to time like a ghost in the literature records of the Song, Liao, and Jin Kingdoms.

At this moment, his mood was not as eager and hopeful as Yao Pingzhong, who was ordered to hook up with Zhuoyi Erzhou on the other road.

On the contrary, whether it is him or Tong Guan, the current mood is like a cheating prodigal son pulling a girl who has just hooked up, and it is the season to untie his clothes and taste the taste of cardamom, but he was suddenly poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, and the heat wave burning in his stomach turned into cold ashes, and even those words were dejected, which can be said to be shocked, angry, and all kinds of demons poured out together.

Although Tong Guan probably didn't have the opportunity to know the true meaning of this ecstasy in his life, he should be similar to Zhao Liangsi in terms of mood.
