    December 1, the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.  Outside the Taiping Post of Longde Mansion on Hedong Road, Zhang Zhonghu, the commander of the Hedong Road Xiaojie Strong Army, lazily walked out of the door of the post.  The so-called strong army is the local Xiang army on Hedong Road.  This title was established during the reign of Zhenzong.  The military threat from the Liao people was great, and a large number of Xiang troops were established on various roads in Hebei and on Hedong Road to guard the countryside.  The countrymen defended the homeland and were used as auxiliary wings for the imperial army in field operations.  [.] But in this day and age, the so-called Xiang army is no longer considered an army.  Needless to say, the Xianjie Qiang Army is the Xiang Army Infantry Army.  Even those with the title of Ma Jun among the Xiang Army cannot train for long.  From the imperial court to the local government, these Xiang troops have not been sorted out for a long time.  How many people are there under each camp and how much savings are there? Is it just in name only?  It's basically a confusing account.  Even for Que officials, they often go without replenishment for more than ten years.  Judging from the true intentions of the imperial court, I am afraid that it may not mean to let these Xiang troops die naturally.  But for the Xiangjun system, there are still some things that have to be maintained.  For example, there are the Xiang army in charge of post offices, the Xiang army in delivery stores, the Xiang army in repairing the Bianhe River, and the Xiang army under the shipping envoy to transport and supply Bianliang's grain.  These Xiangjun que officials are immediately supplemented, and occasionally they can be promoted.  There is still a little bit of food and salary paid out.  The First Department of the Strong and Effective Army is currently in charge of the Guanyi and Delivery Shops in the area of ??Longde Mansion, Weisheng Army, Zezhou, and Luzhou in the southeast direction of Hedong Road.  Taipingyi is one of them.  However, although it was still the Xiang army that the imperial court wanted to maintain, as the Song Dynasty's financial revenue plummeted in recent years, resources were also concentrated on several major wars.  It has been several years since the Jianjiang Jiejun saw military pay. They only received some old rice from the local official warehouse twice a year.  However, the effectiveness of strengthening the army does not depend on whether it is high or low, and we must actively produce and save ourselves.  Years ago, we no longer expected the imperial court to support this strong and efficient army.  The backers rely on their advantage in managing the delivery shops of several military stations in several states.  Run the post station into a hotel and cart shop, use the delivery shop to carry private messages for merchants and civilians, and even use the inn station to manage the authority of horses and mules, and buy and sell livestock transported from the north.  If it is a post station located in an important place, these so-called soldiers in the post station are in the name of the Xiang Army.  His life is probably much better than that of ordinary soldiers in the Imperial Guard.  Taiping Station to the north of Longde Mansion is a large and important local station.  Start from Gyeonggi Road and go northwest to Wanghedong Road.  This is the main access road.  Longde Mansion is now the area of ????Shangdang, which has always been known as the foot basin of Shanxi. It has mostly flat land along Hedong Road, and there are mountains to the north.  Business travelers must stay here.  After decades of operation, Taipingyi has transformed from a simple official post into a town integrating inns, wine shops, cart shops, carriage and horse shops, a small-scale mule and horse market, and a distribution center for local and mountain goods.  Relying on Taipingyi as the center, hundreds of thousands of households already live together.  Xiangyuan County also specially distributed dental stickers for the market here and sent tax supervisors to collect taxes here.  As for the first-class inspections to manage public security, there is no such thing. A strong and efficient army is still a Xiang army no matter what.  It is winter at this time, and Hedong Road is considered northern land, and it has already snowed heavily.  There are few pedestrians on the road, and merchants traveling to and from the Northland for business have already returned home, waiting for the spring to thaw before going out again.  Most of the people also closed their doors for the winter.  Markets have been suspended.  The tax supervisor of Xiangyuan County also returned to the county seat.  Taipingyi, which usually seems quite lively, is a deserted scene at this time.  On a dirt road that runs through Taipingyi, there are only a few idle men leaning against the wall to bask in the sun.  There are only a few shops open along the street.  There are only one or two shops making mutton soup, and a small shop selling steamed cakes is still open.  Waiting to do business with those military masters in the inn.  However, they lazily hid in the shelter while waiting for the order, not willing to bother shouting.  Zhang Zhonghu stroked his gray beard and made up his mind to get a dime of wine and a bowl of mutton soup later.  Then go back to the post and take a nap.  He is in his early fifties and has been working as an errand boy in Taiping Station since he was fourteen.  Slowly he climbed to the position of taking charge of Yiyi.  I feel that my life is quite comfortable, I have no shortage of money, and I have a lot of grandchildren.  I have no ambitions at all, I just hope that these peaceful days can last forever.  But I always feel a little irritated when I think about this. The Liao people have stopped fighting with the Song Dynasty for a long time.  Even if there are occasional grass-threshing valleys on the border, they can't reach Longde Mansion, a place surrounded by mountains.  What's wrong with the peace between the two countries?  He wanted to destroy the Liao Kingdom together with that Jurchen.  When the Liao Kingdom was being invaded, the Hedong Road also had to send troops and horses. The post station, which had not been affected for decades, was in a hectic state.  ¡°That¡¯s all, I heard from merchants from the north.  This Jurchen is very fierce and has the majesty of the Liao people during the founding of the country.  You must know that in the decades after the founding of the Liao people, they penetrated into the Central Plains countless times!  From later Jin Dynasty toDuring the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Han Dynasty, countless battles were fought, and Hedong Road has always been one of the main battlefields.  The old hungry wolf has been fed, and now a new one has arrived. If it goes deep into the Central Plains, wouldn't it mean that there will be another war-related disaster for a long time?  ¡°I¡¯m old, that¡¯s okay.  But sons, sons-in-law, grandchildren, and grandsons-in-law now all live their lives in Taipingyi.  What will their future be like?  The more I think about this, the more troubled I become.  Commander Zhang Zhonghu, who had never left Taipingyi in the past fifty years, really couldn't figure it out.  I had to shake my head and not think about it.  He coughed and prepared to walk towards the restaurant.  At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard from the north.  It was also accompanied by the sound of hanging bells ringing.  As soon as he heard it, he knew that someone was riding a horse at a gallop.  It's such a cold weather, travel is impossible, and there are still people rushing like this?  Zhang Zhonghu stood still and stared at the direction of the sound of horse hooves for a while.  Then I saw a horse galloping towards me. Zhang Zhonghuan was an expert at it, and he was also known for his familiarity with mules and horses in this area.  Business travelers from the north came here to sell horses. If there were any disputes about horses and mules, they would ask his old man to decide.  Although he can't ride, Zhang Zhonghu has handled countless horses in his life.  At first glance, you can tell that this is the outstanding Bohai horse from Tongyiyi in the north.  At that time, the commander of Tongyi Station spent a hundred and dozens of dollars to buy it and kept it for his own use.  There is a knight on horseback, wearing a red fat coat and a crimson jacket.  Wearing another white cloak.  The neck of the cloak is trimmed with rabbit fur.  Military boots and sword are exactly what a soldier looks like.  What he wore on his head was an ermine hat, and the ermine tail was galloping with the horse, moving in the wind.  This outfit is both majestic and vigorous. Judging from his appearance on the horse, his equestrian proficiency is no worse than those of the Tatars in the north!  In the blink of an eye, the knight rushed straight to Zhang Zhonghu, who was still standing at the entrance of the post with a blank face.  The knight asked: "That old man, are you a soldier in Guanyi?" Zhang Zhonghu made a sound before he realized what he was doing.  I haven't seen such a majestic and strong Chuanyi army man on Hedong Road in some years.  Especially on this winter day, Zhang Zhonghuang felt stupid for a while.  He coughed and maintained his dignity: "I am the director of the post here, the commander of the strong and efficient army. What kind of soldier is he? What kind of mission is he doing in this cold weather?" The knight jumped off his horse.  Come on, you are sweating profusely without wiping it off first, and you are in a hurry to loosen the girth of your mount.  Zhang Zhonghuang immediately had a good impression of this soldier. He was a man who loved horses!  The knight in the ermine hat did not show much respect to the so-called commander of the strong and efficient army. He just said: "I am the military envoy of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army. I am returning to Beijing with military information urgently. Here is the document and ticket. Since it is the post office  Officer, please quickly find a good horse for me." He paused and emphasized: "The best horse!" As he said that, he took out the paperwork wrapped in oil paper from the pocket next to the saddle.  Passed it over.  Zhang Zhonghu responded in response, and then he realized, Shenwu Ever Victorious Army?  The weather has not completely cooled down yet, and the heavy snow has not yet blocked the roads.  The whole Shenwu Changsheng Army marched north and also passed Taipingyi.  Tens of thousands of troops and horses moved to the town, and there were many mules, horses and vehicles accompanying them, but it made Taiping Post lively for a while.  People from all over came to watch the excitement. The Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army was well-equipped, had many cavalry, and had powerful soldiers, which were enough to make everyone here stunned.  Zhang Zhonghu also has a good impression of the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army. On the one hand, with a strong army guarding the border, people like them will naturally feel a lot more secure """"".  Secondly, Shenwu's ever-victorious army moved to the town and passed by here. They used grain and rice, hired temporary servants, and supplemented some horses and mules, but they allowed him to do a lot of business, even though the people in the post only did middle-class things.  People in the middle are just getting some discounts, but they are still up to their waists.  Zhang Zhonghuang could not show off the authority of a commander in the Xiang army in front of the imperial army and horses used to guard the border.  He turned around and roared, and immediately several postmen came out to take care of the horses.  Zhang Zhonghu glanced at the paperwork.  It was precisely because of the military survey and cooperation that Shenwu Changsheng's army opened a border town. Naturally, it had the power to rely on the military survey and cooperation to use the post stations along the way to take care of the transmission of military information.  The Privy Council would not hold the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army in this regard, and would award these surveys to the stations along the way as proof of verification.  Han Shizhong passed by along the way and summoned the people who were in charge of the post along the way to explain and deal with it.  Zhang Zhonghuan hesitated for a moment, then put a smile on his face: "There are good horses up and down, but they are all dark horses. Seeing that the mount you are riding on is the best animal in Tongyiyi, you must also know the truth  How many official horses are there in the inn now? Even if there are any, they are too old and weak to ride If you want official horses, you have nothing to say, and you don't need a penny. It is our duty to be responsible.  Horses, that's different. After arriving at the next stop, after changing the horses, others will have to keep them for a winter before sending them back. The money for the fodder will be charged to our account.If it is damaged, what should you say?  All the deposits will be made on this Don't worry, sir. When you return, as long as you ride back safely, you will get back a lot of the money you deposited.  We have been in charge of the post for decades and we dare not ruin our reputation.  " The knight in the mink hat laughed, and his smile was almost sarcastic: "I changed horses all the way here, and I was from the Western Army. How could I not know what happened during this period?  You can ask for how much money you want, but there is only one. If the horse is not good, I will cause trouble!  " As he said that, he held the sword on his waist intentionally or unintentionally. This knight in the mink hat was a big man from the northwest. He was tall and long-armed, and his whole body was full of vigor and agility. He didn't know how many opponents he had killed in battle, so he naturally had a formidable aura.  Murderous. You can tell by looking at the sword on his waist that it is a sharp weapon. In the side pocket of the saddle, there is also a riding bow with arrows scattered around it. The arrows are long and sharp, and the tail feathers are also very long and wide.  It¡¯s not that a bow of three stones or more can use arrows like this. It¡¯s no wonder that this knight with the sable hat and the 100th Xiang Army of Taipingyi may not be his opponent alone in this winter.  . Zhang Zhonghu was startled and laughed hurriedly: "Ma is good, horse is good!  " He vomited, and forced himself to bid: "One hundred and thirty guan for the down payment, and 15 guan for the fee.  Don't dare to cheat the superiors and subordinates on the price of your own money.  "The knight in the ermine hat smiled and took off the saddle bag. The bow bag and the pocket for storing miscellaneous items were placed on the ground. There was also a satchel on his shoulder. He reached out to feel inside and asked, "Hand on.  Can money be made?  " Zhang Zhonghu hesitated. At this time, he was as shrewd as an old businessman: "In the fifth year of Xuanhe's new term, the banknotes will be discounted by half.  Pay the money in four years and get a discount of three.  Four years ago, I refused to accept the charge.  On the way back, all I could pay back was banknotes.  " The knight in the mink hat said nothing more. He took out a stack of banknotes from his bag and counted them one by one to Zhang Zhonghu. Zhang Zhonghu counted them clearly with his saliva, and then he called out to those who were watching the fun with blank expressions.  The postman said: "Go and bring Po Luo Qing here, be careful as it kicks you!"  " After saying that, he looked at the knight in the mink hat again, and saw that the bulges in his sack were all the new year's banknotes. I'm afraid there are not as many as a thousand coins. I couldn't help but kindly persuaded: "Come on, take this with you on the road.  With so much money, you have to be careful.  Why don't we have a few people traveling with us?  "The knight in the mink hat sneered, and raised his eyebrows: "Who wants to urgently convey military information, but also wants us to post a copy of it at home?  If there were only a few people traveling together, our Shenwu Changsheng Army would have been treated poorly by the imperial court, and one hundred thousand guan of the town's capital would have been spent.  For the safety of the Song Dynasty, if you send an urgent military message, the whole army will have to keep your mouth shut!  What kind of world is it? It is a sin to fight hard and guard the border!  " Zhang Zhonghu didn't dare to say anything. In addition to facing the Western Army all the way, the post station system of the Song Dynasty was urgently rebuilt and restored by the Pingyan Dynasty. The others have long been ruined. There may be thousands more on the account books.  There are not even a hundred official horses in existence. Whether it is local officials or border military towns, if they want to convey urgent matters, they have to use the black horses raised by these stations. This is also the case for these officials.  It was a very important source of income for the Yixiang Army. Everyone at the time recognized this unspoken rule, and no one said anything more. But others only rose up in the bitter cold. It is said that the Jurchen Tartars were extremely fierce.  Son¡¯s xs911. He had to endure hardships and fight, but he also had to pay money to convey military information. Even Zhang Zhonghu, who relied on this for a living, felt a little embarrassed and had no choice but to find another topic: "Shen Wu Chang.  For the victorious army, one hundred thousand guan as envoy fee for opening the town?  Can't this be done?  The army is marching north, and we are watching it.  With tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of mules and horses, a person can eat as much as horse chews in a day.  It is also necessary to build fort walls and set up military camps.  What is one hundred thousand guan enough?  In this way, the superiors and subordinates are also willing to go north?  " The knight in the mink hat smiled coldly. Behind the smile, there was unspeakable pride: "There are still people who are willing to fight for the Song Dynasty.  There are always people who will try their best to take care of our victorious army that is willing to fight!  If we stay in the capital, won't we become those useless forbidden troops?  Straight mother-in-law, we good men gain fame and wealth from horses and pass it on to our children and grandchildren, so that generation after generation will feel at ease!  Of those people who are trying to hold us back, which one of us, the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, has more than 10,000 soldiers fighting in the eyes?  But we just listened" Having said this, he quickly stopped and asked: "How come the horse you changed has not come yet?  " While he was talking, several postmen came leading a big green horse. It was not very honest to be led by someone, instead of raising their heads and neighing. They sprayed out long white air. Lead the horse  The postmen all carefully stayed away from the big green horse. Zhang Zhonghuan was still beside him and explained with a smile: "This green horse has a bad temper, so it is called broken green horse."  A bit untamable, but his leg strength is excellent. I wonder if he can judge the height?  " DiaoBut the knight liked the green horse at first sight. He went up and took the reins and looked at the teeth and hooves. He also pressed the horse's back to see how it could bear strength.  Strangely enough, this green horse has a bad temper in the hands of others.  In the hands of the murderous man, he was honest, and the horse's head was still rubbing against the knight in the ermine hat, looking affectionate.  "This is a good horse that can go into battle. With a little training, it won't have weak legs even when thousands of troops are fighting. But it is stuck here as a dark horse. How can it not have a temper? But it goes to ask for help.  "Mo, just give me some coins and buy them when you return!" The knight with the mink hat praised him a few times, and then asked the postman to put all his luggage into the green horse.  Then he took the paperwork back from Zhang Zhonghu.  After all, Zhang Zhonghu was too old to talk too much, so he couldn't help but tried to persuade him: "The sun has passed the middle of the day. In this kind of weather, just take a rest for the night. The mutton soup pot and steamed cakes in the market are all good. We have some at the inn.  It¡¯s also a house. Let¡¯s clean it up and prepare some clean bedding before setting off tomorrow The overnight stay is of course your own price, so you don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± The knight in the mink hat got on his horse and pulled the reins, humming.  He shouted: "The military situation is so strong, how can we delay? We need to report back to Bianliang as soon as possible! Let Bianliang know that our Shenwu Evervictorious Army is on the east side of the river. We are not enjoying happiness, but we have to fight against the enemy in order to protect our country."  They must live happily in Bianliang City!" Zhang Zhonghu was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Don't dare to ask your superiors, what kind of military situation is it?" The knight in the marten hat pondered: "There is nothing to hide, it is.  I want the people in Bianliang to jump up and know that our Shenwu Ever-victorious Army did not take their one hundred thousand guan in vain" Speaking of the three words "one hundred thousand guan", the knight in the mink hat had a sarcastic look on his face.  As he spoke, he waved his hand resolutely, his expression already as solemn as iron: "The remnants of the Liao people have raised troops in the Yunnan states, harassing the areas along the Hedong road from time to time. The Jurchen army was also alerted and was about to go south, and the Hedong road was about to encounter war.   Just a Shenwu Evervictorious Army that is short of pay and weapons, standing in front of them! We, the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, have nothing to fear in battle, but we have to fight with peace of mind!" After that, he pulled the reins and broke the Qingji!  He neighed for a while, raised his head and hoofs, and galloped towards the inevitable.  Hearing that the Jurchens were heading south, there was going to be war on Hedong Road.  Zhang Zhonghu stood there blankly like a toad struck by lightning.  It wasn't until the knight in the marten hat was far away that he jumped up and waved his hands to scold the postman who was also in a daze: "Hurry up and catch up and return all these coins to the general! When others fight, we must also have them.  The people's hearts are broken." The postmen all replied with a sad face: "Grandpa, how can we catch up?" Zhang Zhonghu was frustrated and couldn't help but pray silently in the direction of Bianliang.  I hope those in power in Bianliang can understand how serious things are going on here.  Support the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army more, and if you need to use their post station for transportation along the way, Bai will be willing to be the errand.  I couldn¡¯t help but feel a little unfair in my heart.  Why does the imperial court treat such a strong army that is willing to defend the border so poorly?  But they don¡¯t know who is the person who is taking care of Zhou Quan¡¯s army and horses from behind?  I hope this person can be a prince for generations to come!  ??You bastard, the Jurchen Tatars are going south, so be sure to stop them!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~ The northern foothills of the Wutai Mountains, in the northwest of Dai County, the seat of Dai Prefecture, on the Yangtze River of Hutuo River.  After the Song Dynasty pacified the Northern Han Dynasty, there were originally military garrison camps.  At its peak, there were more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry troops stationed here, and cavalry accounted for about half.  Relying on the Wutai Mountains, it serves as the apse of Yanbian Yanxiaoxixing, Tuchang, Ruyue and other important fortress passes.  ??To advance, attack the flank of Wuzhou and Shuozhou, and to retreat, cover the important passage along the Hutuo River through the Wutai Mountains and directly into the depths of Hedong Road.  In ancient times, when marching and fighting, the entire army marched along the waterway.  A man and a horse need a huge amount of drinking water every day, and it would be difficult to move without water.  The second is that if the waterway has a certain width and depth, the baggage can be transported a hundred times more easily than by land.  A waterway that can be used to transport supplies can support a fully equipped army of tens of thousands of people for an in-depth attack.  In history, regardless of whether China or the West, the places where influential battles broke out were all fought around waterways.  By garrisoning a large number of troops at Daying in Daizhou, it would be difficult for the Liao people to cross the Wutai Mountains and penetrate deep into the Hedong Road.  Otherwise, we have to take a detour from the Ninghua Army, Kelan Army or even the Volcano Army to the west.  But it was even more desolate there, with few plunders and strong folk customs.  There are several places guarding soldiers and horses, such as Yanzhou Zhejia, and the Yang family of the Volcano Army are all indigenous generals for generations. They are not chewy and hard to chew.  Even if you break through, you still have to go around in a big circle before you can turn to the heart of Hedong Road.  Taking this unjust path is a waste of strength. It is better to pounce on the Yanmen area and defeat the Daizhou camp.    Because of this, Daizhou Camp is the key to the Hedong Road edge defense system.  When the war against Liao was tense, half of the military resources occupied by the Hedong Road were in the Hebei Road.  The Daizhou camp used to be a series of military buildings, with beacons facing each other, tens of thousands of troops, and police posts shuttled back and forth.  It has always been guarded by famous generals and elite soldiers.  After the Song-Liao-Chanyuan Alliance, it declined for a hundred years.  Daizhou Camp has become extremely decadent.  The elite guarding soldiers and generals were either transferred away or had vacant positions.  The military supplies and equipment stored in the army were either directed to other places, or disappeared from the books for no apparent reason.  The original large-scale Daizhou camp had crumbling walls, abandoned military buildings, collapsed beacon towers, and flattened trenches.  It has completely lost its ability to gather troops.  It can be said that it was during the Xuanhe period, before the Shenwu Changsheng Army went north.  Dasong Hedong Road is completely unsuspecting.  (In real history, when Tong Guan attacked Yan, not a single soldier of the army marched towards the Yunnei states. After Yanjing was defeated by the Jurchens, the Liao people in the Yunnei states collapsed themselves, and the Jurchen army never marched directly into Yunnei.  The states were only nominally handed over to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty never sent any officials or soldiers to the Yunnan states to exercise control. After the Ping Yan, the Song Dynasty reorganized the defense of the northern border.  The land of Yan was handed over to Guo Yaoshi, and Wang Zhen was sent to lead the victory army to Taiyuan for defense. When the Jurchens went south, Guo Yaoshi from all the Hebei roads surrendered, and the Jurchens on the Hedong road surrendered.  The army and horses penetrated deeply easily, crossed the Wutai Mountains, plundered everywhere, and surrounded Taiyuan. The battle to destroy the country could not have been fought more easily¡ª¡ªOscar Press) At this moment in history, Xiao Yan appeared.  At the end of the fifth year of Xuanhe's reign in the Song Dynasty, the Daizhou Camp, which had been abandoned for decades, was a busy scene.  Refugees who went south and civilian husbands recruited from Daizhou, Zhen County, Fanzhi County, Yanmen County and other places.  In winter, trenches were dug, soil was taken, tamped down, and walls built, barracks buildings were rebuilt, and beacons were built.  A big scene has unfolded. Near Daizhou, there are more than tens of thousands of civilians rushing to work!  It¡¯s okay for the people who went south to pay it back, as long as they have food.  The civilian men hired from the Song Dynasty had to spend a lot of money to build the buildings in winter.  In addition to food, two hundred coins a day are also indispensable.  If there is hard work like digging holes, taking soil and tamping it, you have to pay extra and add two taels of good wine per person.  Such treatment not only wiped out the local labor force, but also people from all over Hebei came over after hearing the news.  A war to conquer Yan has caused chaos in all roads in Hebei. Life is hard, so why not come here and make some money quickly?  The grains and rice that these tens of thousands of people eat every day are astronomical, and only a very small part of them can be used by local government warehouses.  And it is also designated for use in the military.  Others have to be purchased with money.  The grain and rice production in the land on the east edge of the river is not abundant, and they have to go south to purchase it in Taiyuan and other places. There are also people from all over the mountains and ridges in Hebei who deliver it to sell.  In addition to food, you also need to collect some grain.  On this winter day, few people in the areas east of the river closed their doors to spend the winter.  Either go to work or sell food.  Busy as hell.  The most cruel thing in the world is money.  A large amount of money was thrown at him, and the whole area along the roadside of Hedong became agitated.  Local officials in Yuanbian Prefecture and County were also bribed and tried their best to cooperate.  Some were so courageous that they wanted to sell the entire Chang Ping Cang to the Shenwu Changsheng Army.  With such a lively atmosphere, how could you imagine that when the Shenwu Changsheng Army left Bianliang, it would be such a deserted scene?  Dozens of people on horseback, surrounded by a young general wearing a red cloak, rushed through the busy construction site.  Those workers who were rushing to work either avoided the way or looked around curiously.  The young general also looked left and right, carefully watching the construction scene.  A knight suddenly said to the young general: "General Han is coming out!" The young general turned around and saw that it was not Han Shizhong.  He was well dressed and was greeted by his bodyguards. He dismounted from a distance and with a friendly smile on his face, he greeted loudly: "Pengju, you have worked hard!" The person who came was none other than Yue Fei.  They went north to arrange everything and renovate the most important Yanmen Village and Xixing Village. They had to sleep in the open air for a month or two, and their faces and hands were covered with frostbite.  It's just that his expression is still as energetic as ever.  The task of preparing for defense along the border is too heavy and time is tight.  Han Shizhong led his troops to station in Daizhou. Yue Fei didn't come to meet him until now, because he had important matters to discuss.  Yue Fei also jumped off his horse, went up to greet Han Shizhong and smiled.  The two of them stood up holding hands and walked side by side towards the temporary Chinese military camp.  The officers and soldiers who were stationed and training along the way looked at Yue Fei and saluted affectionately.  We are all alone in the east of the river, struggling to survive here. Seeing our own family members, we feel unspeakable intimacy.  Han Shizhong patted Yue Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Pengju, you are so fast! It is said that Yanmen Village and Xixing Village already have a look, but they only spent about 200,000 yuan and collected more than a thousand horses.?, recruited two thousand strong men and sent them all over!  Practice hard here, and then add a few more damn commanders when the time comes.  Within a year, our Shenwu Ever-victorious Army will have more than 20,000 people, half of which are cavalry. Let¡¯s see who dares to underestimate us!  "Although Yue Fei is upright, he can still say polite words to Han Shizhong's praise: "Brother Liangchen leads the main force of the army. The complexity is more than ten times that of Fei?  How can ordinary people afford to run this Daizhou Daying with such a great atmosphere?  Fei is really impressed!  " Han Shizhong waved his hands and said with great momentum: "If you throw money at it, what can't you do?  There are very few people in the world who don't love money, at least I haven't encountered them here yet Now we are just restoring the scale of the big camp.  There is coal and iron here, and there used to be an ordnance supervisor nearby that supplied Hedong Military Town.  I worked hard to recover, and the new recruits were strong. There were plenty of horses in the north, and Dongchuanwa was constantly sending armored weapons. In addition to transporting armored weapons from behind, we also built a large number of strong, armored soldiers and equipped them with powerful weapons.  Leave it to you, Yue Wudi, to train How can it be that easy for our divine and ever-victorious army?  " Yue Fei hesitated a little, and said thoughtfully: "The private resumption of weapons supervision is quite a big deal These days, we have collected grain and rice to use up our reserves, and we have spent more than hundreds of thousands of dollars.  A discerning person will be able to tell that something is wrongDon't implicate Xiao Xianmo" Han Shizhong waved his hand carelessly: "Even if they see it some time later, what are they going to do?  By then it will be too late to beg us, and Xiao Xianmo will be at ease in Bianliang!  Xianmo's layout is really wonderful. Isn't that why you came here today?  " As they spoke, they had already arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent. The guards were guarding in front of them. Seeing the two people arriving, they all saluted. Han Shizhong nodded to Yue Fei: "We will tell you more after entering the tent!  " The two of them stepped aside and walked into the Chinese army tent. A charcoal stove had been set up in the tent, which was warm. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong both took off their cloaks. Yue Fei rubbed his hands and smiled and said: "These days are the most beautiful now.  warm.  " Han Shizhong grinned at him: "Who asked your Yue Wubi soldiers to wear clothes and feed themselves, and suffer more than the soldiers?  I would say that a general must have the bearing of a general, be fair in rewards and punishments, and be able to lead his subordinates to gain fame and wealth if they are able to make decisions before the battle.  I have been working so hard, trying my best to climb up, but what do I want?  " Yue Fei just smiled and said nothing, and he didn't argue with Han Shizhong on this. Han Shizhong joked a few words, but his expression was serious: "But you came here because of what the Guo family's daughter-in-law and Zhen Liuchen did?  " Yue Fei nodded: "The Guo family's daughter-in-law and Zhen Liuchen are in charge of other departments. They need to stand on their own feet and run the business.  He also wanted to march into Shuozhou, Wuzhou, and try his best to expand his strength. If he couldn't, he would have to alert the Jurchen Tatars.  By then, the land east of the river will have to fight hard first.  This is slightly different from what Xianmo explained, and I'm not sure.  Come and ask Brother Liangchen for help And since this chaos is about to break out, the preparations need to be strengthened. When you come to the camp, please ask Brother Liangchen to add more troops and generals, and also transport more military supplies, food and grass. No matter what, we can always  It¡¯s about being prepared.  " Han Shizhong snorted: "Don't Xiao Xianmo just want to make a big fuss and make Bianliang shaken?  The harder we fight here, the more stable he will be in Bianliang.  It will make it easier for him to do what he does nextbut Xianmo always has something wrong with women.  The daughter of the Guo family was acting for him, and Xian Mo was reluctant to say harsh words. He also didn't want the daughter of the Guo family to take too many risks It was important that the bearded fellow, Lao Han, led his troops north, and Xian Mo couldn't wait to do so.  I went straight to Datong Mansion in Xijing and recruited all the Jurchen Tatars that could be recruited from the Yunnei states!  " He looked a little excited and walked around in the Chinese army tent with his hands behind his hands: "Fortunately, the daughter of the Guo family and Zhen Liuchen knew things very clearly.  The Jurchen Tatars only occupied Datong Prefecture in Xijing, and the five prefectures of Shuo, Wu, Ying, Wei, and Hong in the west of Yunnei had not released a single soldier.  I also heard that the commander-in-chief of the Jurchen Western Army, Wanyan Zonghan, escorted Yelu Yanxi, the last leader of the Liao people, back to his hometown.  It can be seen that there are not many troops, so it is time to make a fuss.  With the territory and the number established, the banners of the remnants of the Liao people are scary enough.  Recruit the few Jurchen Tatars over, stir the land east of the river into a pot of porridge, and then scare the officials on Hedong Road, even as far as Bianliang.  This is what Xian Mo wants most, and it is also what best suits the interests of our Shenwu Evervictorious Army!  At that time, what kind of things would it be like buying food and fodder, or setting up private weapons inspections?  Who is so impatient that he makes an issue out of this?  " The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he even started dancing. It can be seen that Han Shizhong really had enough to hold back in Bianliang. When he arrived at this far-reaching place east of the river, he returned to his lawless nature. "  I have already agreed on how to proceed with the Guo family's daughter-in-law and Zhen Liuchen. I have sent people to report back to Xianmo in Bianliang and wait for Xianmo's decision!  My opinion is also attached to the above, that is, let¡¯s get into it!  In this regard, Xianmo naturally does not allow anything!  You, Yue Pengju, must be prepared in advance. Of course you are right. I will mobilize troops for you.Go up, and also transfer military supplies and equipment.  You should be prepared to fight a bad battle with these guys at any time The strong men you recruited will be transferred back first, and they will work in a stable place for a while, and then they will be transferred back and let you lead the fight. This small-scale fight will last half a year.  The newly recruited troops will become an army capable of fighting.  ***, we have to pretend to be grandsons everywhere in Bianliang. Our world is still here, in front of the Tatars!  " Yue Fei nodded silently. It was already obvious that the Jurchen Tatars did not have many troops in front of them. Let Guo Rong and Zhen Liuchen increase their momentum and attract the few Jurchen Tatars to fight a controllable scale here.  The melee is naturally a great thing for the Shenwu Changsheng Army. Needless to say, Xiao Yan's position in Bianliang is a great help. In this regard, he naturally supports Guo Rong and the others and is almost violently excited.  Han Shizhong, but for some reason, Han Shizhong finally calmed down, looked back at Yue Fei seriously, and said solemnly: "Peng Ju, this is for Xian Mo, for my Shenwu Changsheng Army.  , so that the Song Dynasty will still have such a capable army in the future!  " Yue Fei took a breath and nodded: "Good minister, I naturally understand the importance.  How could I disobey Xianmo's orders?  Don't worry.  " Han Shizhong nodded and suddenly laughed strangely: "How Xian Mo behaves in Bianliang, I can't guess.  But here, I have to talk nonsense and scare these guys.  That bird Wu comforted him, and when he arrived in Taiyuan, I was going to make him lose his mind.  Let him deal with our Shenwu Ever-victorious Army again!  " Yue Fei said nothing and turned to look south. With Xianmo's layout like this, how much trouble would he stir up in Bianliang City? I don't know why, but there was always a trace of panic in Yue Fei's heart. But thinking about the future war, he couldn't bear it  The blood couldn't help but Han Shizhong was right, only facing the Tartars on this edge was where Yue Fei was most at home. He just had to fight hard and leave other things to Xiao Xianmo!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~ In Xiao Yan¡¯s courtyard outside Xunmen in the south of Bianliang City. It¡¯s so quiet these days. It¡¯s so cold that Xiao Yan doesn¡¯t have much else to do. He just goes to bed early and gives him a good massage before going to bed.  Finally, he pouted and went back to the room. Xiao Yan couldn't help but decide that when the game he set up was over, he would definitely marry the little mute! This sleep was not very deep, and he was half asleep.  It seems that he has been waiting for news to come from the north. The Bianliang chess game has been laid out, and he is waiting for the news to come from the north where he can't make the move himself. He doesn't know whether Guo Rong is living well or not, and whether he can bear it.  He didn¡¯t know what time he was being supported by Zhang Xian, but he was suddenly awakened by Zhang Xian¡¯s low voice: ¡°Xianmo wake up, Xianmo wake up!  " Xiao Yan turned over and stood up, his eyes shining brightly, as if he hadn't fallen asleep at all: "What's the matter?  " Zhang Xian whispered: "There are people coming from the north.  " Xiao Yan was startled, rubbed his face vigorously, stood up, put on his shoes and left: "Where is it?  Take me to meet you!  ¡± He was also a little uneasy in his heart. If someone came from the north, they must have received news of the layout. But he didn¡¯t know whether the layout there, thousands of miles away, would suit his own needs! Zhang Xian mentioned  The lantern led Xiao Yan around a few turns and he came to his inner study. The study was full of lights, and a tall man sitting there wearing a mink hat jumped up and saluted when he saw Xiao Yan's arrival.  Naturally, Xiao Yan recognized this man. He had once been one of his most capable personal guards. He was the vigorous soldier who had met the old post Zhang Zhonghu and spread the hint that the Jurchen army was going south. His name was Chen Bin.  He was born in the Shengjie Army and had already reached the position of Yuhou Envoy in the First Battalion. He commanded a capital of forty cavalry in the Shengjie Army. When choosing the Marten Hat Capital, Xiao Yan wanted to be a personal guard at all costs. This was natural.  It was his cleverness that Xiao Yan hired the people who were his closest associates to Yue Fei. He joined the Shengjie Army halfway, and it would be difficult for him to go back. If he wanted to be promoted in the future, he would have to become Xiao Yan's close confidant.  If the Diao Mao guards around him are not close friends, who else can be such a person who can fight and have leadership experience?  The army marched north. Xiao Yan selected a new group of people from the army to replenish Diao Maodu, and Han Shizhong immediately put him in command of the cavalry army. The command of the Shenwu Changsheng Army was full.  Three hundred and fifty riders. This time, he was sent back in person to deliver the message, which showed how important the message was. After seeing Xiao Yan, Chen Bin took the letter from his body and presented it with both hands.  Xiao Yan took it, nodded and smiled at him, opened the letter, and read it carefully by the light. Chen Bin and Zhang Xian followed.Next to him, Da Qi didn¡¯t dare to make a sound.  Chen Bin just paid it back, but Zhang Xian looked at Chen Bin with hot eyes.  We were so timid in Bianliang, but you guys can wear the mink hat openly.  But I don¡¯t know how long I will stay in Bianliang!  I don¡¯t know how long it took before Xiao Yan read this short letter word for word.  After pondering for a long time, he said to Chen Bin calmly: "Thank you for your hard work, go down to rest first and have a good meal. Then I will work harder for you and bring my reply back as soon as possible. Then tell Po Han Wu a word, what does he want?  I fully support it!" Chen Bin bowed again and said, "How can you talk about hard work? I will work for Xian Mo no matter what!" Chen Bin led Zhang Xian to settle down, but Xiao Yan couldn't stand in the study.  I walked outside and breathed in the cold night air.  At this moment, he was also shaken.  The two layouts, thousands of miles apart, have been completed.  A huge trend is about to be set off in his hands.  Until the Song Dynasty, which shook this time and space most profoundly!  ¡°I have been prepared for it for a long time. Since I came to Bianliang, I have been dealing with it with all my strength and tried my best to deal with it.  This is the moment we have been waiting for!  (
