Chapter 108 Deep Kindness - 3
"Okay," Jia Yuanzhen was overjoyed and nodded, "I should recommend two to Lord Lu."
"Let's go." Jiao Dengyun shook his head, "We are both in the military palace. If we do not allow it, we cannot join the Song camp."
"Then agree just now," Jia Yuanzhen said angrily: "Is it a pleasure to me?"
"This..." Jian Tianliang's hands were kneaded, a little embarrassed. He spoke quickly for a moment, but he did not consider the restrictions of the military administration. Without the permission of the military administration, the soldiers were not allowed to fight for other countries. Jiao Dengyun smiled and said, "According to the rules of the military administration, although soldiers cannot join the Song camp, we can fight the Liao people together." He is familiar with military military command, but because of his lack of martial arts, he failed to seize the tenth commander in the army and could only retire as an ordinary soldier. Jiao Dengyun has always been unwilling to give up and persuades Jian Tianliang to come to Guandong to go shopping, and he has always wanted to find opportunities in his heart.
"The soldiers were not allowed to fight for other countries, but the Liao thieves robbed our goods, and we can take revenge." Jia Yuanzhen and Jian Tianliang looked at themselves in confusion, and Jiao Dengyun did not go around the corner and said his plan, "We can set up a single battalion, you will fight yours, we will fight ours," he sneered, "The State of Song can provide food and salary, and allow us to collect military supplies in the battle zone. Maybe we can recruit more people from Guanzhong. Even if the children of Guanzhong are not soldiers, their bow and horse skills are far better than those of you Song people."
"A clever plan!" Jian Tianliang hit his fists and palms, and shouted Jue, "Lao Jiao, you are a general."
"Isn't this a hidden bell?" Jia Yuanzhen looked suspicious, "Will the Xia court allow it?"
"The court can do it without explicit orders," Jiao Dengyun smiled, "What's more, we have seen the food, armor, and horses in Guanzhong transported you continuously. Although it was not the court's money, would the court turn a blind eye to it? After all, in my opinion, the court may not not want to send troops, but he is just doubtful and dare not spread it to the table. If we do it first, as long as we don't go too far, or overturn the table, the court will turn a blind eye and close one, and maybe even secretly help us."
Jiao Dengyun kept saying "the court" and said that an ordinary soldier in the five prefectures of the Xia Kingdom was really surprised that Jia Yuanzhen was very surprised, and he changed the impression that the soldiers in Guanxi were all reckless warriors. Since the recovery of Henan, it is okay to train troops and recruit ordinary musketeers, but there are very few veterans. Today, in order to rescue the people, he commanded Xu Sheng and all the cavalry in the camp fought. It would be very difficult to replenish these elite soldiers. If elite soldiers could be recruited from Guanzhong to assist in combat, it would indeed greatly supplement the shortcomings of the Song army.
"Okay, I'll report to General Lu now." Thinking of this, Jia Yuanzhen was a little excited and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"Oh," looking at his back, Jiao Dengyun sighed, "It's a pity that General Zhao Xingde is not in charge of the army in Henan," he looked a little regretful, "If Zhao Junhou presided over Henan, the Liao people would be like a thorn on their backs, how could they dare to rush to Shandong? Hearing that it was false, but seeing that it was true, the Song people were not cowardly and could not fight. Looking at the momentum of the cavalry fighting to the end today, I am afraid that it will be able to defend and attack in less than two or three years. I heard that the Khitans were rich. If we could follow General Zhao and wash away some plunder, wouldn't it be a good thing?" He sighed again, as if he was quite sorry for Zhao Xingde.
"Hey, I said Lao Jiao," Jian Tianliang heard something was wrong, "You wouldn't have any plans for this Kanto deal?"
"Have you planned it long ago?" Jiao Dengyun laughed and said, "I had known that Zhao Junhou was my general, so I directly wrapped my armor and brought a bow to join him." Patching Jian Tianliang's shoulder, Jiao Dengyun turned around. Before dozens of men came to his senses, he smiled slightly and walked towards the people he usually looked forward to. Since he was determined to do something big, he had to persuade them to stay first.
In the simple barracks, Jia Yuanzhen had just opened ink in Duanyan. Before he could pick up his pen and write a military newspaper, his subordinates came to report outside the door. A group of dozens of riders and horses claimed to be the envoys of the Han army and asked to introduce Lu Du to the general. "Han army? Liaodong Han army?" Jia Yuanzhen was a little surprised. For the Han army, he was limited to the description in "Baishan Crying Blood Record". He did not expect that the other party would send an envoy to the door. For the three towns in Henan left by Zhao Xingde, each alliance was particularly important. Jia Yuanzhen hurriedly packed up his pen and ink and went to the door to greet him. What surprised him was that the other party not only held the pass certificate of the left-behind department, but also seemed to have known Jia Yuanzhen's identity for a long time. He spoke without any taboos and said that he came to Lu Mingyu to discuss the alliance between the two families. The familiarity of the Han army envoy made Jia Yuanzhen feel a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Jia, we will be a family sooner or later," Wang Heng blinked his eyes. His beard was gray, but he patted Jia Yuanzhen's shoulder disrespectfully and said with a smile, "You will know in the future. By the way, how are my brother Tong Yunjie going to be fine recently?"
"Tong's Command?" Jia Yuanzhen couldn't help but shudder and replied, "Very good, Tong's Command is very good." This officer who suddenly joined the Baoyi Army before the Northern Expedition to replace Liu Zhijian and Gao Su, two one-legged officers in charge of the artillery battalion, were a very serious person. Ma Yuan used to joke that if Tong Yunjie didn't scold people, he would be a fellow member of the Ministry of Rites. Tong Yunjie brought a group of skilled artillery gunners. Although he was lame, he was neat in his work and was extremely strict in the military. Everyone joked privately that he was relieved of the artillery battalion now, and no matter how difficult the battle was, "Tong's Crooked" would be impossible for him to escape.
"Can you say that 'Tong Crooked' is a member of the Han army?" Jia Yuanzhen smiled while guessing, "General Wang, I have admired the heroes of Baishan and Black Water for a long time. Please, please..." He led Wang Heng straight into the village. Wang Heng looked at the people in the village and smiled slightly, "The Central Plains is indeed a good place, and there are many people fleeing to the refugees than Liaodong."

In the Iron Mountain Mansion, Han Ningshuang was wearing military uniforms, with a pretty face cold, and looked down at the envoy of Jingdong Road.
"You go back and tell Hou Huanyin," she said coldly, "My Han army has been in a bitter and cold place for a long time, and there is a shortage of food and salary. If Hou Gong is determined to invite the Han army to go south, please send 200,000 stones of grain, 100,000 pieces of marble and guabu each, and then we will consider sending troops." Seeing that the envoy still wanted to speak, Han Ningshuang waved, "You retreat first."
"Let's go!" Wang Ji pushed the envoy's shoulder and shouted, "What are you looking at?"
Looking at the messenger's departure, Han Ningshuang frowned slightly, and her slender fingers gently tapped the handrail, thinking and silent.
"Marson?" Xu Detai asked, "Are you really planning to help the Marquis?" The other Han generals also had strange looks.
"Of course," Han Ningshuang said coldly, "No. The Southern Dynasty removed General Zhao Xingde's military power, and Hou Huanyin caused a lot of ghosts from it. This man was killed! He knelt down and begged for mercy. How could I let him go? It's ridiculous that this man actually thought that our Han army could guard his house and guard him, and he would come and go when summoned." The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared, "He thought he had a plan and cut off Chen Dong's right-hand arm, but he didn't expect that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold. It was really stupid! Now the Liao people used troops in Shandong, which was a fruit of their own. What we need to consider is how to take this opportunity to get the greatest benefit from the Jingdong Road war."
"The Marshal wants to use troops on Jingdong?" Xu Detai said worriedly, "We have too few soldiers and horses, but we are not enough to get the chestnut from the fire."
"The Xu Dangjia has just returned from the outer island, and I don't know anything," Wang Xuansu saw this and said, "A dozen days ago, General Wang Hengzhi had already gone to contact General Zhao's old subordinates. Lu Mingyu, Luo Xianshi, Deng Yuanjue and others were in the territory of four battles. They had no room for maneuver. If we can form an alliance with them, we will have 100,000 troops and not be short of capital. Seeing the opportunity, it may not be impossible to seize Jingdong." Wang Xuansu's tone was not very sure, after all, the Liao, Song and Xia San were in the Liao, Song and Xia San.
The country is a great country. The Han army and the three towns in Henan have only more than 100,000 troops. Therefore, the General's Office also considered taking a step back. If there was no chance to seize Shandong, then force Hou Huanyin to give up several ports and try to use sea boats to rescue the people of Jingdong Road. After Zhao Xingde left Liaodong, the Han army and the Fourth Battalion of Chengying continued to cooperate, log and smelte, build ships and go to sea, and reclaim deserted islands. Gradually, it felt that the manpower was insufficient. Jingdong Road was a place where Song Dynasty was rich in population. If it could take advantage of the war to gain a large number of people, it would be a great harvest.
"But if we act without authorization, wouldn't the Xia court be dissatisfied?"
"Don't worry, General Xu," Han Ningshuang shook her head gently, her eyes changed, and she whispered, "One of our Han army grew stronger, but it was weaker than the Liao and Song dynasties. Xia State just enjoyed its success, and the status of the Han army would only become more and more important. Song State had the opportunity to clean up the old border, but internal friction was not stopped... It's a pity..." Her eyes changed, her words gradually became lighter, and she sighed quietly, and she didn't say anything else.

"Mr. Zhao, here you will get a village and you will reach Ezhou in another thirty miles."
"Is the topic today still among the 'gentleman'?"
"A gentleman is poor, but a villain is poor and he is indiscriminate."
"Thank you for your advice..."
Liu Wengu rushed to Zhao Mayuan and others. Zhao Xingde was not a stubborn person. After the first draft of "The Country of Gentlemen" was completed, he questioned and argued with Liu Wengu in an attempt to find out the inappropriate points in the article. Along the way, Liu Wengu discussed "the distinction between gentlemen and villains" with Ma Yuan and others. Zhao Xingde did not disobey him, and instructed Ma Yuan to copy the first draft if he was willing. After camping every day, everyone discussed the doubts about "gentlemen and villains" and the way of gentlemen and villains. While fighting with reason, Zhao Xingde also followed the good deeds and happily revised the inappropriate points of the article. In this way, everyone's enthusiasm was no less than the vigorous disputes between "great etiquette and law" in various places at this time.
