"The Liao people have been to Pianguan six times. What secrets does Pianguan have for them? Have you seen the newly repaired city wall? That was where the people of Pianguan used to go in and out with their oxcarts."
Lang Tan said angrily.
"Isn't it said that Pianguan Pass is the Golden Lock Silver Pass?"
"Thirty years ago, it may be that, sitting next to the Yellow River, facing the Pianguan River, with the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountains on the left, and the longan of Wangwu Mountain on the right, how can it not be called Jinsuo Yinguan? Even in Feng Shui, it is also excellent Feng Shui.
"
Xiao Lin frowned and asked: "Does the commander know the situation here? If the partial pass is not reliable, our strategy will have no chance of success. If we end up defeating the Liao people at the partial pass, it is better to hide behind Yanmen Pass and consume the enemy's strength.
strength."
Lang Tan pointed at his chest with his thumb and said, "Do you think I look like trash?"
"Who dares to say that Langjiegu is a waste?"
Lang Tan smiled and said: "Since Langjie Valley is not a waste, why can't the commander use the side pass? Half a year is enough for me to transform this city pass. I have been lonely for a long time. I have nothing to do but kill a few Liao people who are digging the grass valley.
It has no meaning to me anymore, since my sword started drinking blood, this period is the most thirsty time for it."
Lang Tan patted the long knife on his back and smiled wildly. Xiao Lin could even see many eyes peeking at the arrogant Lang Tan through the gaps in the door panels on both sides of the street.
Lang Tan looked around and said with a smile: "They are wondering why I haven't started running away yet! Hahaha, grandpa must show his appearance to the people no matter what this time. The generals of the Song Dynasty can not only make money, but also run away."
, there are still those who can fight, 50,000 Liao bandits just happened to be sent to me, grandpa, to restore the people's support!"
Xiao Lin beat Lang Tan's chest and followed him back to the military camp. Bo Bo was eating alone with a big bowl in his arms. He was slurping his food. His favorite food was noodles, and he also liked it before.
A while ago, after eating all the mung bean cakes in Su Shi's hand, he began to like noodles again, not to mention that there were two greasy poached eggs in today's noodles.
Two eagles were squatting obediently on a dry branch holding feathers in their beaks. Bobo had just fed them with fresh mutton. It is common sense that hunting eagles cannot be fed well, but reconnaissance eagles must be fed well.
It is full, otherwise it is flying in the sky and suddenly finds a rabbit flying down to hunt?
The existence of Bo Bo ensures that these eagles can fly into the sky when they have nothing to do and consume excess fat to avoid becoming too fat. It is their instinct for beasts to store fat. Fortunately, in this war on fat, Bo Bo is the winner.
Lang Tan dreamed of owning a falcon, so when he came back, he approached Hai Dongqing.
"Stop dreaming. These seaweeds belong to the Song Dynasty's military. They cannot belong to you alone. However, Madam still has six seaweeds. You can ask Madam for them when you return to the capital." Xiaolin held up a big batch.
He said after taking two bites of the bowl of noodles.
"What difference does it make?"
"The difference is very big. According to the second lady, the eldest lady thinks this thing is very precious and is the magic weapon for our Song army to win, so she personally feeds those little sea turtles. I heard the second lady said that she came to Yanmen Pass
Those sea turtles back then were as chubby as quails... so giving one to you is not a big deal."
Bobo explained seriously: "Haitongqing are birds of prey, and their ferocity must be cultivated since childhood. If you just feed and drink seaweeds every day without training, these seaweeds will soon be no better than chickens."
What's the difference? I guess those little sea turtles have turned into chickens."
Lang Tan reluctantly left Haidongqing and went to eat next to Bobo. After picking up the rice bowl, he suddenly smiled and said: "There is a chicken that looks like Haidongqing and I won't rush it."
Xiao Lin came back in the afternoon and told Yun Zheng everything he had seen and heard in Pianguan.
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "There is no need to worry too much about Lang Tan. If there is a true commander-in-chief among the 15th Route Army in West Beijing, I can guarantee that this person will be Lang Tan!"
Jiang Zhe has been training the army for many years, so he has not gone to the battlefield many times. He is an excellent staff officer, but not a real commander. Wu Jie has a character flaw, which may have been when he was in Shuzhong.
, he is the best at reading, so there is a pedantic air in his nature. Although he looks the most mature now, he is the most uneasy person. Chu Dazhi is a purely defensive soldier.
He was self-aware and was not as good as the previous three in the flexibility of the military formation, so he simply gave up attacking and specialized in studying how to defend. As a result, he also discovered some methods. If the Song Dynasty wanted to find someone to guard the most important
Chengguan, I think it must be Chu Dazhi.
Back then, 13 people including me wanted to do something for the Song Dynasty with high spirits, but now there are only five of us left. Many people have gradually lost themselves in the process. It is really sighing to think about it!"
After Xiaolin sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Are you feeling sorry for Zhou Tong?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "There is nothing to regret. If he didn't leave at the beginning, he will leave now. His character is the most changeable, and a changeable person cannot become a true commander-in-chief, so you just have to look at it.
We know that all the famous generals in the past dynasties were perseverant. Soldiers have never been a flexible profession. Only paranoia can lead the army to the final victory."
"Who do you think you are?" Xiao Lin planned to hear Yun Zheng's evaluation of himself.
"What am I? I am an extremely skilled liar, or I am an extremely skilled cheater." After Yun Zheng said this, he looked at the confused Xiao Lin with a smile, and did not explain himself.
No one except Yun Er can understand this truth.
"You just said that the original guard of Pianguan seems to be still in the local area. Tell me your reason. I sent people to check this person at the beginning. When I traced him to Xianzhou, he disappeared like smoke. I thought this person should die.
Lost, with a large amount of treasures, but also with many unreliable subordinates. No matter how you look at it, he is seeking his own death. Since you said that this guy named Hua Tianshou is still alive, you must give me a way to pursue it.
That's the right direction." Yun Zheng didn't want to talk about his privacy with Xiao Linduo, so he naturally guided the topic to the former guard of Pianguan, Hua Tianshou.
"For many years, I have been chasing people. Many times, my feelings seemed to be very effective. This time, I felt that this person was not dead and must be hiding somewhere. This feeling was very strong. My intuition told me
, we must dig this person out, otherwise I will be very uneasy." Xiaolin sat up straight and said solemnly.
"You said this mouse will have an impact on my upcoming battle plan? Why?" Yun Zheng thought about it for a while but still couldn't find any connection between the two.
Lang Tan looks like a rough person on the surface. In fact, he has a very careful heart. He has been the first to capture the best fighter opportunities many times. There are not many such people in the world, so Yun Zheng treats Lang Tan
Very trusting.
Xiao Lin shook his head and seemed to be trying hard to get rid of his doubts. Seeing that Yun Zheng didn't seem to find anything wrong, he had to give up the idea of chasing this person, stood up and said, "I'll continue to make arrangements for Huang
Regarding things in the family village, you seem to be in a bad mood. If you want to sleep a little longer, sleeping in a few days will be a luxury."
This sentence made Yun Zheng's old face turn red, and he pretended to be angry: "Just do your own thing and don't worry about the military leader's affairs."
Xiao Lin smiled dumbly and walked out of the military tent without even shaking his head.
Ge Qiuyan poked her head out from behind the curtain and said aggrievedly: "We are very restrained, why is everyone blaming me?"
"They are jealous, yes! Very jealous..."
At the end of April, the wheat seedlings were already one foot tall. The wheat grown by the Song people was less than half the height of the wheat grown by farmers in later generations. The wheat on the sunny slopes had already begun to ear. In more than a month, the wheat would mature. This pair
This is the greatest expectation for the people on the banks of the Yellow River.
The leanest time is the most difficult time, so there are always people wandering around hoping to find a job that can provide them with food.
The weather and rain this year are very good. If it doesn't rain when the wheat seedlings are in bloom, this year's bumper harvest is almost a foregone conclusion. Of course, it would be better if there is no military disaster.
For the common people, military disaster is a more terrible disaster than drought, flood, and locust plague. If this place becomes a battlefield, it is foreseeable that hundreds of miles of land will become no man's land.
Neither of the two warring parties cares about the people who have lived on this land for generations. As soon as the war begins, one wants to feed the enemy, and the other wants to stand firm and clear the country. Neither of them considers how the people should survive.
Therefore, the people began to help the old and young to give up the crops they were about to get, and left their homes to escape the war in the mountains. Their cries reached Yun Zheng's ears, which kept him awake all night.
At dawn, he had made up his mind. No matter what, he must end this war started by the emperor's willfulness before the wheat matures. At least, the war near Yanmen Pass must end, otherwise in the autumn, countless refugees will
It will drag you down. At that time, there will be no talk of regaining Yanyun.
This time we can no longer use the power of Cui Da and those merchants. They supplied the grain needed for the first two wars. There are already officials impeaching Yun Zheng for why he did not eat the imperial grain?
This accusation is very sinister, and Yun Zheng naturally doesn't care about it, but Cui Da and the others have almost no power to fight back against the power of the government. Di Qing told Yun Zheng that they can use merchants to help the Yun family make money, but they cannot rely on the strength of merchants to fight wars.
.
State affairs and family affairs must be made clear, and the only person who does not need to make them clear is the emperor! (To be continued)
