Speaking of this, both of them felt a little sighing and a lot of dissatisfaction.

Even if Xiao Ding comes from a family like the Xiao family, the emotion in his heart may not be much less than that of Wang Jun.

Otherwise, his father Xiao Yu would not have forced his second brother to study since he was a child.

I really have no talent for reading.

Being a soldier seemed to be a lowly profession in the Song Dynasty.

In the earliest times, soldiers would have tattoos on their faces to prevent them from escaping. After many years, this bad habit was finally abolished, but people like Wang Jun still have tattoos on their temples.

As for civil servants, it is natural for them to despise soldiers.

Just like the Yushitai censor who came to inspect the heads this time, in Tianmenzhai, except for one Xiao Ding, who gave him a little face, he simply ignored the others. During the inspection, all kinds of things were done

Harsh, the final inspection was correct, and it was confirmed that the reported military merits were without any trace of water, and there was a look of disbelief on the face. It seemed that the army did not lie about some military merits, which was abnormal.

And Xiao Ding invited him to go to the border with him, maybe he could meet the Liao army, and the censor could have a good experience of the soldiers of Tianmen Village fighting the enemy bravely.

However, the censor suddenly changed his color and angrily scolded Xiao Ding not to greedy for merit and start rash provocations, which would be detrimental to the country and the people, and made all the soldiers feel resentful.

What is rash provocation?

On the border, it has long been commonplace for the two sides to kill each other. If they don't kill each other every three to five days, they will feel uncomfortable. Is it possible to let the Liao people show off their evil and swallow their anger? If this is really the case, I'm afraid people will kick their noses.

On my face, I crawled on your head to poop and pee.

There is today's rough peace on the border. How many soldiers paid for it with their blood and lives, but in this man's words, it became a reckless provocation.

But who calls someone a censor or a Jinshi?

Even if the anger in his heart reaches the extreme, he still has to put a smile on his face. Even the two kings are not willing to offend a censor, let alone people like them?

Do these people really have no flaws at all?

Wang Jun really wanted to spit on that man's face, especially when Xiao Ding gave that man a cart full of specialties from Tianmen Village before leaving.

It is said to be a local specialty, but inside there is a box of white patterned silver, a total of five hundred taels!

I didn't see that man throwing the money in the commander's face with an air of indignation.

Instead, he told the commander with a smile that he would definitely put in a good word for Tianmen Village in front of the officials.

I want you to say nice things! If you were a favored person in the capital, would you be sent here to do such drudgery work as checking heads and calculating military achievements? You are obviously just a role in Yushitai, but when you arrive at Tianmen Village, you will not be able to do it.

Do you really think of yourself as an angel? Do you think that officials will believe what you say?

Furthermore, there are two great kings standing behind you, and this time's military achievements are even more real and without any water. If you try to talk nonsense, the border sergeants will start to make trouble, leaving you in a desperate situation.

But Xiao Ding knew that such a person would not accomplish much, but he would be more than capable of doing bad things! If they really said something unfavorable to Tianmen Village in the memorial after they returned, they would still be the ones who would suffer.

A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. What Xiao Cheng said makes Xiao Ding think it is very reasonable. Five hundred taels can be exchanged for a peaceful and harmonious wife, which is worth more than anything else.

This is not a confrontation with the Liao people. Apart from iron and blood, everything else is in vain.

This is an internal conflict! It can be resolved in various ways.

As for the Hua-Yi conflict with the Liao people, there was no room for compromise.

Xiao Ding has corresponded very frequently with Xiao Cheng in the past few years, and this second brother not only can often give him some extremely useful ideas, but sometimes the other party can make him enlightened with just a casual word.

For example, if you hit with one punch, you will avoid hundreds of punches. Xiao Ding took this as a guideline.

The Liao people were afraid of power but not moral. As long as they hurt the opponent and made the opponent afraid, they would naturally be more honest. Otherwise, they thought that the territory of the Song Dynasty was their private territory, and they could grab it if they wanted.

Take it!

"This time I want to go to Beijing, it can take at least a month or two, or at most half a year." Xiao Ding said to Wang Jun: "After I leave, you will be the one to make the decision in Tianmen Village. Again, I will punch you away, so as not to

Hundreds of punches are coming. If the other side dares to provoke you, then you must return it fiercely."

"Don't worry, Commander. How have we, Tianmen Village, ever swallowed our anger?" Wang Jun clenched his fist.

"But you have to be careful, don't fall into the trap." Xiao Ding thought for a while, and then said: "The other party must know the news about my leaving Tianmen Village. These people on the other side suffered a loss last time, so I'm afraid they will

You have to make up for it. So when you do anything, you must be cautious and don't be greedy for merit. You must know that in many things, the loss is due to the word greed. Our last victory was related to our careful calculation beforehand.

But there is also some element of luck. This kind of thing happens by chance but cannot be expected. You can't think that it will happen a second time easily."

"I can save it." Wang Jun nodded: "If the commander goes to Beijing to report on his duties and receive the reward, if we fail here, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the commander's face? Even the last reward may be wasted. So before you come back,

Before, everything was calm."

"That's right!" Xiao Ding thought for a moment and then said: "Yelu Hu on the opposite side was taken back to face charges because of the last defeat. The new Yelu Zhen is said to be a powerful character and must not be careless. I heard that this person is here

The Jurchen tribe in Liaodong was killed so many people!"

"They are just barbarians. We are not straight women. Those people don't even have any decent weapons."

Xiao Ding, however, said with a cautious look on his face: "My second brother also mentioned the straight women in his letter to me. He also reminded me that I must be careful if I encounter the straight women's troops. He also said something about straight women being satisfied.

If you are absolutely invincible, it must be very difficult for someone to remind my second brother so seriously."

"Aren't you still letting the Liao people kill them like rivers of blood? Aren't you still working as cattle and horses for the Liao people?" Wang Jun disagreed: "I'm afraid your Erlang's words were a little wrong this time?"

In fact, Xiao Ding himself also murmured, but in the past, he had a habit of taking what the second brother said seriously. But the woman was thousands of miles away from Bianliang, where the second brother was.

How did the second brother know that these people were very powerful?

Moreover, it seems that they are indeed not very powerful at the moment.

Song and Liao now despise each other, and the two families are still fighting over who is the orthodox of China.

But this is exactly what the two families can do to each other, and they are somewhat sympathetic to each other. The two families also recognize each other, whether it is the New Year or the official Queen Mother's birthday, the two sides still send envoys to each other to congratulate each other.

But for other neighboring countries and tribes, both countries look at them sideways with like-minded intentions.

The only one who is slightly better, and can gain recognition from both families, is Goryeo.

As for Goryeo, now it is also a faggot, falling on both sides.

He not only professed vassalage to the Liao State, but also paid tribute to the Song State, so neither side would be offended.

They will interact more closely with whoever is stronger and hang their heads lower. But even if a certain family suffers a big loss at a certain time, they will not take advantage of the situation to step on them.

Because a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, they really can't afford to offend them, and they don't want to offend them either.

"Anyway, the Lord of Liao specially transferred this Yelu Zhen, so this person must be extraordinary. We must pay attention to this person, and do not act rashly until we find out the details of this person."

"Yes, Commander, I have written it down." Wang Jun said. "Except for the daily patrols and scouts of the cavalry army, the other armies, during your absence, stayed indoors training and farming."

Wang Jun is a real person. If he says so, he will do so. This is why Xiao Ding trusts him. He nodded immediately and stopped talking.

The sky became increasingly gloomy, but finally the wind picked up, which made everyone feel a lot refreshed. But everyone knew that this was because the rain was coming soon.

In unison, the entire team sped up slightly.

Normally, everyone cherishes horses very much. Every horse is hard-earned! Even if it is a riding horse, it is also their most precious asset. Except for fighting or important matters, such as horse hunting

Every cavalryman is unwilling to do such a thing as galloping.

Not to mention the loss of horsepower, if the horse accidentally steps into a pit and breaks its leg, it will be useless.

They would rather get wet for a while than do anything wrong with their horses.

With a popping sound, a big drop of rain hit Xiao Ding's armor. After a lot of rain, it finally came.

And as soon as it came, it was like a water tank with leakage at the bottom, flowing out gurglingly.

"There's about ten miles to go. Everyone, take care of your horses and crossbows!" Wang Jun said in a loud voice.

Horses are precious, and so are bows and crossbows.

In the rain, if the crossbow is not kept well, accessories such as beef tendons will easily become soft and become useless if they are not replaced. These sergeants on the border take these very seriously.

After walking about a mile further, the rain became heavier and heavier, but Xiao Ding suddenly reined in his horse and stopped.

In the distance, a thick black smoke rose into the sky amid the rain.

Next, many sergeants also saw the thick smoke.

Such smoke could only have been deliberately lit by someone, otherwise it would not have happened in such weather.

"Beacon fire!" Wang Jun lost his voice and said: "That's where Gonglian Village is! There are Liao people attacking."

Xiao Ding looked coldly at the place where the black smoke was rising, "Does Yeluzhen want me to go to the official with a piece of shit on my body? Or does she want to give me a blow?"

Wang Jun glanced at Xiao Ding and shouted: "Er Gou, go check it out."

Without saying a word, a thin sergeant changed the horse on his crotch, slapped the horse's butt, and galloped forward. At this time, he no longer spared any effort in horse power.

"Everyone, dismount, put on armor, and prepare to fight!" Wang Jun shouted again.

More than a hundred cavalrymen dismounted one after another, took out their armor from the horses they were riding on, and began to put it on.
Chapter completed!
