To be exact, the blacksmith is not Yue Wudi's old man, but the person next to the blacksmith is, Yue Wudi didn't expect Qu San to come here, he and Yue Wei already have a four-year-old daughter, Qu San came to join the army, what should I do if Yue Wei and their orphans and widows are left?

And the blacksmith also seemed to be very familiar with Qu San, Yue Wudi saw that the blacksmith's aura was calm, and there were two steel crutches under his ribs, his heart moved, and he guessed the identity of this blacksmith.

"Sect Leader Wang, please invite the two of them to come and see me at night. Yue Wudi pointed to Qu San and the blacksmith and said to Wang Meng.

"Yes!" Wang Meng subconsciously received the order, and after finishing speaking, he remembered that Yue Wudi was not his superior at all in the military camp now, and he was a little reckless in receiving this order, looking at the faces of Han Yanxuan and Xin Qiji, seeing that they didn't seem to be strange at all, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The warriors in the army, every day from morning to night, the consumption of the body is very great, so the requirements for food are also extremely high, Yue Wudi and Xin Qiji want to take this opportunity to see if the food in the army can meet the needs of the soldiers.

This Northern Expedition has been planned for six years, and the manpower and financial resources consumed are unimaginable, and there is absolutely no room for failure. Therefore, they will not ignore every detail that may affect the success or failure of the war.

And the food in the army, naturally, is also one of these details, for the results of observation, whether it is Yue Wudi or Xin Qiji, they are very satisfied, there is big meat, rice and vegetables, for the soldiers, it is more practical than any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

In the handsome tent, Yue Wudi and the others, who had eaten a full meal, were facing a huge map, making a few gestures and saying a few words from time to time.

The real decision-makers of the Northern Expedition. It was not so much the princes of the court and the Emperor Ningzong that it was better to say that Han Yanxuan had made up his mind, and Han Yanxuan had completely said his deployment now, and discussed it with Yue Wudi and Xin Qiji.

"Han Xiang's deployment is generally not wrong, but the purpose of our Northern Expedition this time is not to recover the Central Plains. Yue Wudi said coldly. made Xin Qiji's face change suddenly, while Han Yanxuan looked thoughtful.

"Lord Xin, don't worry. Yue Wudi saw Xin Qiji's face, so he explained with a smile: "Although we have been fighting hard all these years and united to subdue the Central Plains, we must know that this is not an easy thing after all, the Jin country is a big country, and it will not be hurt by the loss of one or two major battles. Just like the Great Song Dynasty, he also failed many times in the battle against the Jin State, but in the end. Doesn't the Jin Kingdom also have the ability to destroy our Great Song Dynasty?"

"Moreover, the Jin Kingdom occupies the land of the Central Plains, and we are at a disadvantage in the south and the north. In this Northern Expedition, our purpose is not to recover the Central Plains at one time, but to push the display between Song and Jin to the northern land, so that the nobles of the Jin Kingdom will be panicked and send envoys to sue for peace. It was their inevitable choice. ”

"As long as you can force Jin to negotiate peace, then this Northern Expedition. It must be a big victory, and no one dares to say that Han Xiang is not. And through this Northern Expedition, we will be able to master a strong division that has been tempered by war, and there will be wars in the future. This male master will be able to play its role. ”

Han Yanxuan nodded, he understood what Yue Wudi meant, wars are never easily started because of blood, they must have a purpose. The purpose of Yue Wudi's planning for the Northern Expedition six years ago was to consolidate and expand his prestige and power in the court. At the same time, through the Northern Expedition, he honed an iron-blooded strong army that he could control, and prepared for his future great cause.

Xin Qiji listened to Yue Wudi's speech while pondering, and after a while, he looked at Yue Wudi's eyes and asked, "The old man is only with his will and foresight in this life, but he is far inferior to you, a junior. It's just that the old man wants to ask, if you have enough strength to recover the Central Plains, will you do it?"

Yue Wudi was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said, "In front of Lord Xin, the juniors don't dare to tell lies, even if I have the strength to destroy the Jin Kingdom at the moment, I won't do it." ”

When Xin Qijian heard this, his face turned a little pale, and said: "I think it's the same, once the Jin State is eliminated and the lost territory is recovered, I'm afraid that the 100,000 Northern Expeditionary army will face a crisis." Back then, Emperor Taizu was able to release his military power with a glass of wine, and today's official family, although he does not have the authority of Taizu, can still do it if he is divided and disintegrated, collected and dismantled. You have always had the ambition to be independent, how can you allow this army that you have worked so hard to build to be completely controlled by the imperial court?"

Yue Wudi said frankly: "The juniors know this little bit of thought, and they can't hide it from Lord Xin. ”

Xin Qiji smiled and said, "If you only have this thought, then how can the old man spend six years running the Hengshan Academy for you? The old man also went to the Mongolian desert two years ago, but what he saw and heard was very worrying! That people were too strong, they didn't need any training, they were just a first-class strong army, and barbarism and killing had been soaked into their bones. Not to mention the imperial court, these thousands of Han people will inevitably be slaughtered!"

When Yue Wudi heard this, he was silent, and he said for a long time before he said: "To deal with the Jin Kingdom, the current strength of the younger generation is no longer afraid, but for Mongolia, I am still not sure. They live on the grassland in pursuit of water and grass, wandering like the wind, and millions of armies are thrown into it, and it is difficult to strangle them, so they can only sit and watch them rise. Therefore, the younger generation can only improve their strength as much as possible, in the hope that they will be able to not be afraid of the Mongols in the future, and even win in battle!"

"As for the Great Song Dynasty, I don't expect it, such a court, even if it wins one or two major battles, even if it has an invincible and strong army, no one is invincible, it will quickly self-destruct. At that time, the Yuejia army was invincible, and the people who carried the back were invincible, didn't the imperial court destroy the Great Wall by themselves? I don't want such a tragedy to happen a second time. ”

This was the first time that Yue Wudi confided his thoughts so blatantly in front of Xin Qiji, but Xin Qiji did not show the anger that he should have as a great Confucian, but took a deep breath and was silent, for Da Song, he was already disappointed.

Seeing that there was about to be a Northern Expedition that was expected to be victorious, it was not initiated by the imperial court, but Yue Wudi secretly launched it using the power planted in the imperial court, isn't this a kind of irony?

Yes, Xin Qiji can now be determined that between Yue Wudi and Han Yanxuan, Yue Wudi is the one who really speaks, and it is likely that they belong to a secret organization, and Yue Wudi is the leader, and Han Yanxuan is the secret chess piece that this organization has deliberately planted in the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Xin Qiji felt a chill rising from his back, what kind of organization can have such an earth-shattering plan? You must know that Han Yanxuan is not an ordinary person, he has a noble background, he is the descendant of the famous Prime Minister Han Qi, and he can be said to be a good root in the Great Song Dynasty, such a person will even become the secret chess of that organization?

Xin Qiji couldn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it, to be exact, he felt that it was not interesting to think about it. Because no matter how terrifying this organization is, it doesn't seem to be all the power in Yue Wudi's hands!

The Hengshan Academy that he was running, as well as the Iron Palm Gang that helped him a lot when he established Hengshan Academy, seemed to be under Yue Wudi's control.

Several people were silent, each stunned, and suddenly outside the tent, Wang Meng used his internal strength to transmit his voice far away: "It's time to study! Assemble within a hundred breaths, and the military judge will report the number!"

Then Bai Ye, who temporarily served as a military judge, urged his internal strength and transmitted the cold voice: "One, two, three...... Ninety-nine, one hundred!"

Within a hundred breaths, an army of 100,000 men was assembled, in a neat procession in the shape of a ring, and stood like a forest around a large clearing in the middle.

Xin Qiji asked in surprise, "Study time, is it for this to assemble after dinner?" Even he couldn't figure out what these big-headed soldiers were going to learn?

"Mr. Jiaxuan will know when he goes out and has a look. Han Yanxuan said with a smile, when Yue Wudi first gave this order, even he was taken aback, and it was a little inexplicable, but when the effect of this kind of learning initially appeared, he had to praise Yue Wudi's wise decision-making.

"Okay, the old man really wants to see, what kind of knowledge are you teaching these soldiers?" Xin Qiji was also very curious in his heart, and agreed heartily at the moment.

Yue Wudi is also self-conscious, although this order was issued by him, but the actual implementation and effect, he has not seen it in person.

When he came out of the tent, he saw the soldiers kneeling on the ground, and their figures covered the ground.

In the middle of the open space, there is a high platform temporarily placed there, a middle-aged scribe, holding a strange thing in his hand, with a big surprising voice, impassioned enthusiasm, telling the glorious history of the Chinese nation.

From the opening of Pangu, the rule of the three emperors, the five emperors Dinglun, to the whole world of the king of Zhou, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and the king's ministers. From Qin Shi Huang to dominate the world, and then to Chen Tang's strong man, although he is far away, he will be punished.

During this period, there was also the tragedy of the Five Hu Chaohua, the joy of mourning the killing of Hu Ling by the King of Heaven, the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the coming of all countries, and the pain of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

When talking about Emperor Taizu's world, but he was unable to recover the old land of Yanyun, he sighed, and when he talked about the exile of the second emperor of Huiqin, there was a cry.

Speaking of Yue Wumu's direct attack on the Yellow Dragon, but he was forcibly recalled by the twelve gold medals, and died tragically in the Storm Pavilion, the 100,000 army suddenly became even more emotional. (To be continued......)
