Chapter 122: Long-term calculation
Thousands of miles of fertile fields are covered with heavy snow, showing a monotonous white color. If people look at it for a long time, they will inevitably become dizzy. In severe cases, they may even suffer from snow blindness. People who live and work in such an environment for a long time will
An effective method has been found.
It doesn't take much trouble. For the Liao people in the north, just tie two pieces of animal skin over the eyes and cut two small slits in the middle.
Yelujun naturally does not have this problem, and the same goes for Lin Jing. For them, such heavy snow is a different kind of scenery. They can gallop horses in the wind and snow to chase prey, or they can make a small pot
Fire, eating roast mutton, drinking fine wine, and writing a few poems to praise the unpredictable power of nature.
There is an octagonal pavilion on a low hill. This is a village that Yelujun renovated for himself after arriving at Xijin Mansion. It is said that it is a village, and there are more than ten miles of land in it.
There are mountains, water and woods.
Under the hill, there is a green brick house with green smoke curling up, but there is no snow on the roof. This house is usually Lin Jing's residence.
Yelujun usually lives in the Governor's Mansion of Xijin Prefecture. Only when he has free time or if something important happens, he will come here to discuss with Lin Jing.
The octagonal pavilion was wrapped in gauze, and several braziers were lit inside. The biting cold wind was effectively blocked outside.
Sitting in the pavilion, Lin Jing shook his head and said: "It would have been nice to have a taste of the real cold weather and experience the suffering of all living beings, but now that you've done this, it's no longer interesting at all. I didn't think about it before."
It was time to come to this hall to drink, and in the blink of an eye, you ended up like this! If I had known this, wouldn't it have been warmer for the two of us to talk in the room below?"
Yelujun smiled and said: "Teacher, you can no longer taste the cold weather! Don't be brave, you are already sixty, don't compare with us young men. If you catch a cold, cough or something like that, then it's okay
It’s no longer a trivial matter.”
"Am I as weak as you say?" Lin Jing said dissatisfied.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected!" Yelujun said with a smile: "You can't take risks with this kind of thing."
"I remember it's not a holiday today, why do you have time to come here?" Lin Jing asked.
Yelujun laughed: "Teacher, in Nanjing Road and in Xijin Mansion, I am the boss. I can take a break from bathing whenever I want. Who dares to say no?"
Lin Jing smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, took a deep sniff, and said in surprise: "Is this the wine from Tianxiang Pavilion in Bianliang again?"
Ye Lujun nodded and said, "That's right. Although they never take out food, if you want it, you can always find a way. But this is the only place I have left. I don't know when I can buy it next time."
arrive."
Lin Jing took a gentle sip and swung it back and forth in his mouth a few times before swallowing it with a gulp. He felt the line of fire going straight from his throat to his dantian, and his body instantly felt warm.
"It's really a good wine, especially suitable for us in the North. Can you get a recipe for it?" he asked.
Ye Lujun shook his head and said: "I can't get it. Just getting these jars of wine takes a lot of effort. I'll try to find out later! The main reason is that the owner of Tianxiang Pavilion is a woman and I can't see him easily.
Arrived. Since I can’t even see anyone, of course I can’t say I’m asking for a price.”
"Of course good things should be hidden more tightly!" Lin Jing said with a smile. "Is there anything strange happening during this time?"
"There are many!" Yelujun said: "Li Xu sent someone here. I met him once and then respectfully sent him to your majesty's Nabo. How to persuade your majesty is his business."
"Li Xu decided to raise a flag to rebel?" Lin Jing was a little stunned, "In this season, aren't you looking for death?"
Yelujun nodded: "You are indeed seeking death. The Song people have made it clear that they want to deal with him, but he has not yet solved the Hengshan Party. Little does he know that the foundation of his country is the Hengshan tribes and not our Liao Dynasty."
Thank you for your support! Teacher, do you know what the second son of the Xiao family did after he went to Hengshan?"
"The one named Xiao Chongwen?" Lin Jing asked.
Ye Lujun said: "In my opinion, this kid is more powerful than Xiao Ding Duoluo! Li Xu's envoy, the one named Li Du, talked about him in a nonchalant manner, but the people below 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 the Weiming tribe, Li Xu's biggest assistant in Hengshan. Now, I'm afraid that all the tribesmen in Hengshan have been obediently crawling in this Xiao.
At Chongwen’s feet.”
"Such drastic measures did not trigger a backlash from the tribes in Hengshan?" Lin Jing frowned.
"Those servants couldn't tell clearly, but looking at Li Du's appearance, I'm afraid that the second-in-command of the Xiao family used both soft and hard tactics. He used many methods at the same time, forcing Li Xulian to stop thinking about fighting with the opponent again in Hengshan. He came directly
Looking for us." Yelujun sneered: "Without Hengshan, how can he attack the Song Dynasty? Want us to send troops from the Liao Dynasty to attack the Song Dynasty to create conditions for him? What a joke, he will always profess to the Liao Dynasty and become the emperor, every year
By paying a large tribute of gold, silver and silk, can I, Daliao, shed my blood for him?"
"Extremely unwise!" Lin Jing shook his head and said: "Now that the Song Dynasty is in Hebei and other places, the defense system is complete, and the combat effectiveness and fighting will of all the armies are at the highest. At this time, if we launch a large-scale attack on the Song people for Li Xu,
Attack, let alone how the peace treaty between the two countries will be interpreted in the future, even the blood that Daliao will shed in the face of these defense systems is not something we can afford."
"Yes, we and the Song people have been in a stalemate like this for many years. We can't fight, and they don't have the ability to fight. No one can do anything about the other, so we can only live like this. Although we don't like each other,
But we still have to recognize the opponent's strength." Yelu Jun said: "Li Du goes to Nabo to see His Majesty, I'm afraid he will hear a few haha, or a few words of encouragement!"
"It doesn't matter if he makes a fuss, it will consume the strength of the Song people anyway." Lin Jing said: "We in Daliao can pay attention to the Black Mountains when the time comes. Maybe we can get the lush water and grassland in that area.
Come."
"That's true." Yelujun said with a smile: "Didn't that Xiao Ding do this all the way back in the past? I only knew Xiao Changqing before, but now I know that Xiao Chongwen is also a ruthless person, much more insidious than his brother
By the way, Mrs. Xiao Sanni is also very talented! What kind of virtue did this Xiao Yu accumulate in his previous life to give birth to such three outstanding children?"
Looking at Ye Lujun's appearance, Lin Jing said with a smile: "The county prince seems to have nothing to do with Xiao Lao Er, Xiao Lao Er, but he is obsessed with the third wife Xiao!"
Yelujun laughed and said, "I have seen many brave generals and counselors. Students are more powerful than Xiao Ding and Xiao Cheng, such as the Qing of Crossing the River, but it is really rare for a woman to have the talent of Mrs. Xiao Sanniang. Teacher, look at it,
This is a poem written by Mrs. Xiao Sanniang at those poetry gatherings in Bianliang."
Lin Jing was stunned: "You, you actually asked our spies in the Song Dynasty to do these things for you? If His Majesty finds out about this, what kind of evaluation will you get?"
Seeing Lin Jing's surprised and angry look, Yelujun smiled and said, "Teacher, please don't be angry. I won't do it again. It's just that I was a little curious when I saw him outside Tianmen Village."
Lin Jing looked at the other party for a while and then said: "Prince, first of all, Mrs. Xiao Sanniang has a distinguished status and is not a person who can move around at will. Secondly, she is also engaged. You saw that man outside Tianmen Village.
Passed. You have read Confucian books and know Confucian etiquette, but there are some things that cannot be crossed."
Yelujun smiled faintly: "Where did the teacher go? I'm just curious."
Lin Jingding nodded: "You are not an ignorant person, but you must not be confused about this and let others take advantage of it. Once the words "lustful" and "foolish" are said to you, it will be difficult to wash away.
It’s clear. By the way, have you started making arrangements for things in Hebei?”
Yelujun nodded: "The one who took over Guangrui's army to garrison Tianmen Village was the Dingwu Army from Dingzhou. Although it was a little worse than Guangrui's army, it was still a tough nut to crack, and its commander, Tao Dayong, was also a ruthless man.
.However, how long this army can stay in Tianmen Village is still a question, because news came from Bianliang that the first Fourth Army to come for the battle has been decided. A total of 5,000 people will be commanded by the Japanese army.
Zhao Zheng personally led the army with three thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry."
"Who is presiding over this round of battle in the Song Dynasty?" Lin Jing asked.
"You may not believe it, but it's King Jing, Zhao Zhe!" Yelujun said with a smile.
Lin Jing was really stunned.
"Fire is cooking oil, it's really wonderful." Yelujun said: "I really didn't expect King Jing to be so unwilling to hold back and insist on getting ahead. With his current prestige, if he insists on presiding over this matter, he really can't win.
He. Haha, teacher, I am going to let him make more contributions."
"The credit you are referring to is letting Cui Ang take advantage of him on Hebei Road?" Lin Jing said.
"It's not just cheap, it's also a big benefit!" Yelujun said with a smile: "I have summoned Yeluzhen to discuss specific matters. Anyway, no matter how much Cui Ang has done on Hebei Road, the official of the Song Dynasty will count it.
On the head of King Jing.”
"Let the other armies on Hebei Road succeed one after another, but deal a deadly blow to the Japanese army?"
"This specific operation has not yet been planned." Yelujun said: "Anyway, when King Jing's reputation is at its peak, Xiao Ding will set a fire in the northwest and defeat Li Xu. Teacher, tell me, in the Song Dynasty,
Bian, will King Jing Zhao Zhe be able to..."
"Extreme joy brings 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 watch their authority being weakened."
