Fu Song

Chapter 122 Long-term calculation
Thousands of miles of fertile fields are covered by heavy snow, presenting a monotonous white color. People who look at it for a long time will inevitably feel dizzy, and in severe cases, they may even suffer from snow blindness.People who have lived and worked in such an environment for a long time have figured out a set of effective methods.

It doesn't take much trouble. For the Liao people in the north, it is enough to tie two pieces of animal skins over the eyes, and then cut two small slits in the middle.

Naturally, Yelujun didn't have this problem, and so did Lin Jing. For them, such heavy snow was a different kind of scenery.You can gallop your horses to chase prey in the wind and snow, or you can make a small fire, eat roast lamb, and drink fine wine to write a few poems to praise the unpredictable power of nature.

On a low hill, there is an octagonal pavilion. This is a Zhuangzi that Yelujun renovated for himself after he arrived at Xijin Mansion.It is said that it is Zhuangzi, but it is more than ten li long and horizontal, with mountains, waters and forests.

Under the hill, a green brick and tile house is billowing with green smoke, but there is no snow on the roof.This house has always been Lin Jing's residence.

Yelujun usually lives in the Governor's Mansion of Xijin Mansion, and he would come here to discuss with Lin Jing only when he is idle or when there are some important events.

The octagonal pavilion was wrapped in light gauze, and several braziers were lit inside, so that the biting cold wind was effectively blocked outside.

Sitting in the gazebo, Lin Jing shook his head and said, "It was supposed to be a good taste of what the real cold is like, and experience the suffering of all beings, but it's meaningless if you do it like this. I didn't Speaking of coming to drink in this hall, you turned into this in a blink of an eye! If I had known this, wouldn't it be warmer for the two of us to talk in the next room?"

Yelujun smiled and said: "Teacher, you can't taste the cold weather anymore! Don't be brave, you are already in your sixties, don't compare with us young men. If you have a cold and cough or something, then you can't do it." It's no small matter."

"Am I as weak as you said?" Lin Jing said dissatisfiedly.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!" Yelujun said with a smile: "This kind of thing, you can't take risks."

"I remember that today is not a holiday, why do you have time to come here?" Lin Jing asked.

Yelujun laughed: "Teacher, in Nanjing Road, in Xijin Mansion, I am the boss. I can rest whenever I want. Who dares to say no?"

Lin Jing smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, took a deep sniff, and said pleasantly, "Is this the wine from the Tianxiang Pavilion in Bianliang?"

Yelujun nodded and said: "That's right. Although they never sell food, they can always find a way if they want it. But there is only this small jar left in my place. I don't know when I will be able to buy it next time." arrive."

Lin Jing took a sip lightly, wandered back and forth in his mouth several times, and then swallowed it with a gulp. Feeling the fire line from his throat straight down to his dantian, his body felt warm instantly.

"It's really good wine, especially suitable for us in the Northland. Can you get a prescription?" He asked.

Yelujun shook his head and said: "I can't get it, just getting these jars of wine is a waste of time, I'll try to find out in the future! The main reason is that the owner of the Tianxiang Pavilion is a woman, and I won't see you any time soon." Arrived. Since you can’t even see anyone, of course you can’t say a price.”

"Good things, of course they should be hidden!" Lin Jing laughed. "During this time, what's so strange?"

"There are many!" Yelu Jun said: "Li Xu sent someone here, I met him, and then sent him respectfully to where His Majesty's Nabo is, how to move His Majesty is his business."

"Li Xu decided to set up a flag to rebel?" Lin Jing was a little stunned, "Aren't you looking for death at this time of year?"

Yelujun nodded: "It is true that he is looking for death. The people of Song made it clear that they wanted to deal with him, but he has not yet settled the Hengshan Party, but he does not know that the foundation of his country is the Hengshan tribes, not our Daliao Your support! Teacher, do you know what the second child of the Xiao family did after he went to Hengshan?"

"The one named Xiao Chongwen?" Lin Jing asked.

Yelujun said: "In my opinion, this kid is much more powerful than Xiao Ding! Li Xu's emissary, the one named Li Du, faltered about him, but the people under him could easily inquire about him. After the second son of the Xiao family went to Hengshan, in less than a month, he wiped out Li Xu's biggest assistant Wei Mingbu in Hengshan. Now, I am afraid that the people in Hengshan have honestly prostrated themselves in this Xiao Chongwen's feet."

"With such a drastic method, it didn't cause any backlash from the Hengshan tribes?" Lin Jing frowned.

"Those servants can't tell clearly, but judging by Li Du's appearance, I'm afraid that the second son of the Xiao family is using both soft and hard methods, using many methods at the same time, forcing Li Xulian to have no intention of fighting with the other party in Hengshan again, so come directly Looking for us." Yelujun sneered: "Without Hengshan, what would he use to attack the Song Dynasty? Want us Daliao to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty to create conditions for him? A joke, he will always be a vassal to Daliao and be the emperor every year Paying a large amount of gold and silver will make me, Daliao, shed blood for him?"

"Extremely unwise!" Lin Jing shook his head and said, "Now that the Great Song Dynasty is in Hebei and other places, the defense system is perfect, and the combat effectiveness and fighting will of all armies are the highest. Offensive, let alone how the peace treaty between the two countries will be explained in the future, even the blood that Daliao will shed in front of these defense systems is not something we can afford."

"Yeah, we and the people of Song Dynasty have been in a stalemate for many years. We can't fight, and they don't have the ability to fight. No one can do anything, so we can only live like this. Although we don't like each other, But you still have to admit the opponent's strength." Yelu Jun said: "Li Du will go to Nabo to see His Majesty, I'm afraid I can hear a few haha, or a few words of encouragement!"

"It's fine for him to make a fuss, but it's the Song people's strength that's being consumed anyway." Lin Jingdao: "We can pay attention to the Black Mountain in Daliao, maybe we can get the land with lush aquatic plants in that area." Come."

"That's true." Yelujun said with a smile: "That Xiao Ding traveled thousands of miles in the past, didn't he just do this? I only knew Xiao Changqing before, but now I know that Xiao Chongwen is also a ruthless person, much more sinister than his brother By the way, there is also that Mrs. Xiao San, who is also extremely talented! What kind of virtue did this Xiao Yu accumulate in his previous life to give birth to such three outstanding children?"

Seeing Yelujun's appearance, Lin Jing smiled and said, "The king of the county seems to have nothing to do with Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, but he never forgets Mrs. Xiao third!"

Yelujun laughed: "I have seen a lot of brave generals, counselors, and students. Those who are better than Xiao Ding and Xiao Cheng are like Guo Jiang Zhiqing, but it is really rare for a girl to have the talent of Mrs. Xiao San. Look, teacher, This is the poem written by Mrs. Xiao San at the Bianliang Poetry Festival."

Lin Jing was dumbfounded: "You, you actually asked our spies in Song Dynasty to do these things for you? If His Majesty finds out about this, what kind of evaluation will you have?"

Seeing Lin Jing's expression of surprise and anger, Yelujun smiled and said, "Teacher, don't be angry. Don't be an example. It's just that I was a little curious when I saw it outside Tianmen Village."

Lin Jing looked at the other party for a long while before saying: "Jun Wang, firstly, that Mrs. Xiao San has a noble status and is not a person who can move at will. Secondly, she is also engaged. That man, you can see him outside Tianmenzhai Passed. You read Confucian books and know Confucian etiquette, but there are some things that cannot be crossed."

Yelujun smiled lightly: "Where did the teacher go, I'm just curious."

Lin Jingjing nodded: "You're not a person who doesn't know the general idea, but don't get confused about it, and let people take advantage of it. Once the two words of lewdness and stupidity fall on your head, it will be difficult to wash away. Cleared up. By the way, have you started to arrange things about Hebei?"

Yelujun nodded: "The Dingwu Army from Dingzhou who succeeded Guangrui Army to guard Tianmenzhai is a bit weaker than Guangrui Army, but it is also a tough nut to crack, and its leader Tao Dayong is also a ruthless man. However, how long this army can stay in Tianmenzhai is still a problem, because there is news from Bianliang that the first upper fourth army to come to the battle has been confirmed. A total of [-] people, led by the commander of the Japanese army Zhao Zheng personally led, three thousand infantry, two thousand cavalry."

"Who is hosting this round of battle at Da Song?" Lin Jing asked.

"You may not believe it, it's King Jing, Zhao Zhe!" Yelujun said with a smile.

Lin Jing was really stunned.

"Fire cooking oil is really wonderful." Yelujun said: "I really didn't expect King Jing to be so unrestrained and insist on taking the lead. With his current prestige, if he insists on presiding over this matter, he really can't compete. He. Haha, teacher, I am going to let him make some more contributions."

"The credit you are referring to is that Cui Ang took advantage of it on Hebei Road?" Lin Jing said.

"It's not just cheap, it's a great benefit!" Yelujun laughed and said, "I've already summoned Yeluzhen to discuss specific matters. Anyway, no matter how much meritorious service Cui Ang has made on the Hebei Road, the official in the Song Dynasty will count it. On King Jing's head."

"Let the other armies on Hebei Road succeed again and again, but will you deal a deadly blow to the Japanese army?"

"This specific operation has not yet formed a plan." Yelujun said: "Anyway, when the time comes, King Jing's reputation will be in full swing, and that guy Xiao Ding will start a fire in the northwest, defeating Li Xu. Teacher, tell me, in the Song Dynasty. By the way, will King Jing Zhao Zhe know it?"

"Extreme joy begets sorrow!" Lin Jing said: "The king of Chu will not sit still and wait for death, and the officials of the Song Dynasty will not just watch their power be weakened."

"That's right!" Yelujun said with a smile, "They're fighting among themselves, but it's time for me to reap the rewards."
