In Chuzhou, the gray ice layer blocked the river surface, and the canal terminal was deserted. The canal would not thaw until the middle of winter passed.

The Bian River flows, Si River flows, and flows to the old ferry of Guazhou. Every year when the grain is opened, firecrackers are set off near the Chuzhou wharf. The gentry and merchants in Chuzhou will invite actors and singers to hold a lively event. The common people are also glad to have survived the green and yellow winter. Tens of thousands of grain workers and grain residents are all hoping to receive the first batch of hard work and grain on this day and send it to their hungry homes. Since the Grand Canal was dug in the Sui Dynasty, this place has been the key to transport grain. The grain is millions of stones every year, and countless goods pass through it. Boats of all sizes are moored in the canal on the edge of the city, waiting to pass through the Beichenyan and enter the Huai River. Merchants and boatmen make an appointment to travel in the city. The city is filled with the fishy fragrance of fish and shrimps, and the sound of silk and bamboo songs and laughter can be heard everywhere. Humanitarianism is the noise of thousands of households and thousands of lights at night market, and the number one state in the southeast canal transportation.

The Henghai Army's defense zone reached Haizhou in the north and Yangzhou in the south, were the richest places in the Song Dynasty. The war on Jingdong Road became more and more than 10,000 people were left to be stationed in various prefectures and counties to expand their troops to prepare for war. At this time, more than 30,000 Henghai Army had been stationed in Chuzhou, waiting for the canal to thaw and march north to rescue Jingdong Road. When the Henghai Army first arrived in Chuzhou, it had several conflicts with the Chuzhou regiment training, and both sides had casualties. Later, Han Shizhong restrained his subordinates from harassing the market, and the gentry of Chuzhou from time to time to buy cattle wine to reward the army, and the two sides were considered to be in peace.

When the Liao army invaded the south, under the leadership of Lu Yunsun, the salt and tuanzhen of Chuzhou were expanded to more than 5,000 people. While the gentry and people fought desperately, the Liao army never entered the city of Chuzhou. The people here were fierce and had a long history. In order to conquer Chuzhou, Zhou Shizong first captured Yangzhou and Taizhou, cut off the connection between Chuzhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then attacked Chuzhou with tens of thousands of naval and army forces. Taizu was fashionable and was a general of the Zhou Dynasty.

He did not remove his armor day and night, and personally brought his subordinates to the city. There were only a few thousand defenders in Chuzhou. After the city wall fell, they fought hard with the Zhou army along the streets and alleys, and resisted to the prefecture government offices. However, the Chuzhou garrison Zhang Yanqing, the commander of the military and horses, was killed in battle, and none of the defenders surrendered to the Zhou army. In this battle, the Zhou army suffered heavy casualties. After that, in order to vent their anger, the Zhou army set fire to the city, and Chuzhou began to belong to the Zhou Dynasty.

In the Henghai Army camp, the battle was fierce and the tent of the rear camp was brightly lit. The personal soldiers were all the confidants of the Marquis of Donghai, and all of them looked strange at this time. It was rumored that the court's rituals were discussed, and after the Song people in the world chose the law and disciplined themselves, General Han seemed to have changed his temperament and held a bunch of books all day long. When he couldn't understand or was impatient to read, he asked Mrs. Li to tell him.&&At this time, a burst of cheerful laughter suddenly came from the tent.

"I realized it, I realized it!" Han Shizhong sat cross-legged in front of the desk, holding the "Analects of Confucius" in one hand, and stroking his beard with the other hand, making him look like a New Year painting, reading the Spring and Autumn Annals for a long night, which made people laugh. He said loudly with a smile, "Madam, what is the way of kings and domineering? What is the way of Confucius and Mencius? I have understood it thoroughly!"

"What have you realized again?" Li Hongyu gave him an angrily blank look.

"The kingly way is, in my territory, I will stretch out my fingers to crush him to death if you dare not listen to Lao Han's greeting." Han Shizhong proudly stretched out his thumb and pushed his face in the air, "The domineering way is, even if he is not in my territory, I will dare not listen to Lao Han's greeting, I will stretch out my fingers to crush him to death if you dare not listen to Lao Han's greeting. This is the way of kingly domineering!"

"Nonsense," Li Hongyu was afraid of him and chuckled, "My husband, what is the way of Confucius and Mencius?"

"The way of Confucius and Mencius, hehe," Han Shizhong smiled proudly, "It is before I crush him, I will tell him the principle of crushing him. If you believe it or not, it's up to him." He put the Analects of Confucius on the table, patted the cover, and smiled, "These 'Zi said', and nagged, are not as thorough as Lao Han's two or three sentences." "Zi said" is Han Shizhong's unique despise of reading people. Since the court's great rituals, he decided to self-discipline with the "Qingliu Method", and changed to the title of "Menger", but at this time he was very happy and his words were restored to the old view.

"Mr. Husband, you are indeed very talented," Li Hongyu nodded and smiled, "But don't tell others these words, so as not to be jealous of you." She and Han Shizhong were used to teasing, frowned slightly, and said, "But, Husband, you are a general of the court, and marching and fighting are the main job. It is said that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Your temperament has always been unparalleled with the scholars of the generation of Confucianism," Li Hongyu showed a worried face and hesitated, "Do you really want to observe the 'clean flowing law' with those people?"

Shizhong nodded affirmatively. He was a person with a thick and thin person. He patted her hand gently and whispered: "Don't worry, you are my original wife. If you follow the 'Qingliu Method', those who are poor and humble in the past and wealthy in the past will not be left." He grinned and said, "This 'Qingliu Method' is very broad. If the original wife does not have to be released for five years, a man can take a concubine. No matter how her concubine comes from, she cannot ride to the original wife's head. Madam, I will be relieved by the 'Qingliu Method'?"

Hongyu nodded invisibly, still worried, "I saw those people outside, and when I talked about the 'Qingliu Dharma', why do you want to guard this thing? We, the two of us..." She was born into a prostitute, and like Han Shizhong, it had nothing to do with the word "Qingliu". Even if Li Hongyu was already the wife of the county magistrate, she couldn't help but worry.

"There is nothing to do about this." Han Shizhong sighed, "Do you think I want to find awkward?" He looked outside the tent and whispered, "The wife has also seen both Song Lifa and Gentleman's Law. I want me to say, this is really not a thing that people make, it is stricter than his mother's military law. It's better to be a monk." He shook his head.

"So why?"

"I also said that this 'Qingliu Law' is stricter than the military law. Although there are fewer people who observe the 'Qingliu Law', the formation is strict, they share the same hatred of the enemy, and they attack ruthlessly. And the side of the customs of the customs of the customs of the Qingliu Law is much more common. Whether on the battlefield or on the court, the Qingliu side will definitely occupy the wind. It is like a strong and powerful soldier in the army, and some follow others' butts. It was originally a mess that everyone had to get over it. But now, the court makes people choose their own law. It is equivalent to letting people who guard the 'Qingliu Law' live in a camp, and those who guard the 'Qingliu Law' live in a camp, and those who guard the 'Qingliu Law' live in a different camp, allowing them to fight each other, and the strong to survive, the winner is the king, and the loser bows down. The so-called military value is more important than the elite, but the situation of victory or defeat is even greater than that of the official army and the bandits."

"We have to stand on the strong side. The two armies are fighting each other. If they lose, they will be slaughtered." Han Shizhong sighed and said in a deep voice, "After a while, it will be not so easy to observe the 'clean flowing method'." He spoke with a serious expression while pulling Mrs. Lady sitting in her arms. Li Hongyu nodded thoughtfully, without resisting. The lights in the tent were dim and the atmosphere suddenly changed.

"Is Lord Han here?" someone outside shouted, "I want to see Lord Han? Who dares to stop me from seeing Lord Han?"

"His grandma's." Han Shizhong cursed angrily. It was heard that it was Feng Fanghui, the magistrate of Qingzhou, who was Hou Huanyin's envoy.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Li Hongyu glanced at him shyly.

"I'll send this kid first." Han Shizhong let go of his hands. He dressed up, suppressed his heart, raised his chest and raised his belly, held the jade belt around his waist, walked out of the tent cursingly, stared at Feng Fanghui, and shouted: "It's late at night, what's the urgent matter?"

"Master Han," Feng Fanghui bowed his hand and was about to enter, but Han Shizhong blocked the door of the tent and refused to give in. He raised his head angrily, and Han Shizhong also looked at him condescendingly. The two of them had a big gap in official positions, and the army valued respect. Although Feng Fanghui was Hou Huanyin's confidant, he did not dare to break into the camp tent in this situation. He could only force others to be angry and shouted: "The officials have been looking for Lord Han for a day, and these people said that the host has gone to patrol the camp. So..."

"Is this whereabouts of me?" Han Shizhong glared without waiting for him to say more, "Can you still report to your mere magistrate?"

"Mr. Han misunderstood." Feng Fanghui had no choice but to bow his head and said, "Please forgive me for being abrupt." He finally endured his anger, and without waiting for Han Shizhong to forgive me, he raised his head and said loudly, "Mr. Han came to see Lord Han, just to ask, the situation on Jingdong Road is as dangerous as the situation, and the messengers asking for help are looking at each other. Rescuers are like putting out fires. When will the Lord send troops to the north?"

"Ask me, who should I ask?" Han Shizhong cursed, "Why don't you ask God? For more than a month, the north wind has been blowing every day, and the sea boats are slower than snails. If there is a storm, these tens of thousands of elite soldiers... I bah, bah, bah. The canal is frozen again, and it is impossible to carry the grain ship. Our military food and supplies, are you carrying it? You are carrying a horse on your shoulders, and you are trapped in the north. Are you going to rescue Jingdong? Or to die?"

Feng Fanghui still said with a strong heart: "Why not recruit civilians and transport supplies in front of the army and hurry up!"

"Speak lightly, where do you think this is?" Han Shizhong sneered, "I said, Feng Tong, the strong men on both sides of the coastal canal, Haizhou, Chuzhou, and Huaiyang are waiting to open the canal, and the people's medium rice is put into the pot, and their eyes are hungry. At this time, Raf goes to work? Okay, leave this matter to you. Tomorrow, you will discuss with the magistrate of Chuzhou? Is it OK? Lord Tong Tong? If you are impeached and disturbed the local area, or even forced the people to rebel, you can go and argue with the Ministry of Personnel by yourself?"

Fang Hui hesitated for a moment, and Han Shizhong turned around and returned to the tent. A team of personal soldiers took the lead two steps, like a screen, firmly guarding the tents. Feng Fanghui sighed and was about to turn around and leave, Han Shizhong's voice came from the tent: "Prime Minister Feng Tong, go back and read the etiquette carefully, and know the 'lower'!" Feng Fanghui's feet stopped and almost fell.
