Chapter 60 Going North

1113 In October of the year of Guisi (the third year of Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty), all the heroes of Liangshanpo were dispatched to send Chen Xiaofei north to the Liao Kingdom.

Chao Gai personally drank three cups. Seeing that the heroes behind Chao Gai were all toasting enthusiastically, Chen Xiaofei hurriedly refused: "Brothers, I have a small measure of you. You have many people. If you wish me a cup, I will be drunk to death. At that time, I was missed a major incident in the village, but don't blame me!"

When everyone laughed, Chen Xiaofei saluted deeply: "Brothers, I appreciate it with all my affection. If I return victoriously in the future, I will take the celebration wine from all my brothers!"

Lin Chong personally led the horse and said to Chen Xiaofei: "Brother, today I go north and in the tiger and wolf den, you must be careful! It is related to the great cause of the country, but it is not more common than usual activities in the world. In addition to being careful, you also need to be careful!"

Chen Xiaofei got on the saddle and got on the horse, Zheng said with a key point: "Brother Lin Chong, don't worry, I'll pay attention!"

At this time, Ximen Qing carried a few big bags, put them on Chen Xiaofei's back, and said, "Brothers, these things are useful!"

Holding the boss's pile of things, Chen Xiaofei looked bitter: "Brother, my trip is not moving, what are these many things?"

Ximen Qing said seriously: "In recent years, the weather is not right and the climate is cold. Brothers are prepared for these big fur clothes."

I don’t know if it is the country that will perish, or what. Over the years, the weather has changed dramatically. In the winter of 1111, the first year of Zhenghe, Taihu Lake, which is more than 2,000 square kilometers, was completely frozen. The ice on the lake was so thick that it was possible to drive. All the citrus in Dongting Mountain in the lake were frozen to death. Then, the climate became colder day by day.

Although it has just entered October, the cold wind has already cracked the bones of people. If you go to the northern Khitan or even the Jurchen territory, the cold weather is even better than the Song Dynasty. There are not many clothes to protect the cold on your body, and those with a little poor internal strength are afraid that they will not be able to withstand it.

This time Chen Xiaofei went north and chose a group of capable and good men to accompany the martial arts lecture hall. Although everything was ready, no one thought of the fur clothes for Yuhan. In fact, it was not surprising, because most of the leaders in Liangshan were born poor and had no sheepskin coat, so how could they have the knowledge of fox fur and crane cloak? Only Ximen Qing was born, so he thought a little deeper than everyone else.

Chen Xiaofei stroked the package in front of his saddle, and started to soften his hands. He didn't know how many big sweaters from the fox and otters were wrapped. Chen Xiaofei nodded secretly, feeling moved, thinking: "So many big sweaters - Brother Siquan this time, I'm afraid he'll take out all his family! If he gets into a fight with such an older brother, he will sell his life to him, what's the regret?"

He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brothers who are going north, thank you Brother Siquan for your trouble! Don't worry, I will be happy when I go here!"

Ximen Qing took three steps back and clasped his fists and said, "Go off today. One day, you and my brother Yan Yun will meet!"

Chen Xiaofei nodded and said loudly: "Are you all ready?"

The accompanying people in the martial arts hall answered in unison. Chen Xiaofei stepped on the kickstick, stood up on the horse's back and bowed all over, shouting: "Brothers, I'll give you a thousand miles away. I'll say goodbye now!"

Amid the farewell of the crowd of Liangshan, Chen Xiaofei turned his horse's head, waved his hand and rushed to the north. The people accompanying the martial arts hall followed one after another. Soon after, their figures gradually disappeared into the eyes of the people who bid farewell. Everyone looked at the dust gradually returning to the calmness in the wind, and their hearts were filled with thoughts.

Suddenly, Chao Gai laughed and broke the silence around him. King Chao Tian smiled and said, "From now on, our Liangshan will no longer be the Liangshan we used to be!"

Ximen Qing smiled and agreed, "That's right!" The men looked north with their heads, and their hearts were filled with passion, like a tide.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong were also in the crowd. Song Jiang frowned, Wu Yong's eyes flashed, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.

When he returned to his own village in Liangshan, Song Jiang complained to Wu Yong and said, "Military advisor, I just said that I would not go see you off today, but you insisted on me! When you saw it, you didn't laugh at the other people and hurt your heart? Humph! Ximen Qing! I see when you will be proud of you!"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Why are you angry with brother? Ximen Qing incited the brothers in the village to be confused and insisted on recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Why don't you and I take the trick?"

Song Jiang listened and was excited: "The military advisor is out?"

Wu Yong shook his folded fan and said, "You and my brothers sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, let those people go! If they fail to sink into the sand, what will it harm you and me? If they are lucky enough to achieve success, will you and I still be able to do Zhang Yichao and Zhang Yitan at that time?"

When Song Jiang heard this, his eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "Military advisor, do you want to..."

Wu Yongran said: "I remember that during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Zhang Yichao, a native of Shazhou, led the people to form the Guiyi Army and defeated Tubo. In the fifth year of Dazhong (851 AD), Zhang Yichao led the Guiyi Army to recapture Shazhou (Dunhuang), Guazhou (Anxi), Yizhou (Hami), Xizhou (Turpan), Hezhou (Linxia), Ganzhou (Zhangye), Suzhou (Jiuquan), Lanzhou, Shanzhou (Qinghai Ledu), Guzhou (Qinghai Hualong), Minzhou (Minxian County, Gansu), etc., and sent his elder brother Zhang Yitan to the court with his territory and household registration. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang gave him an edict to be appointed.

Zhang Yichao was the defensive envoy of Shazhou. In the second year of Xiantong (861 AD), Zhang Yichao recovered Liangzhou. In the eighth year of Xiantong (867 AD), Zhang Yichao entered the court and was appointed as the governor of the eleven prefectures of Hexi, the internal observation and disposal envoy, Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, the Minister of Personnel, and the Censor of Wanhu, Hexi. Zhang Yitan was also appointed as the General of Jinwu Guard. Brother, please think, Ximen Qing really has some talent. If he really accomplished and recovered Yanyun's old place, we rely on the merits to join the court. Isn't it a good thing to keep our name in history?"

Song Jiang nodded at first, but then shook his head and sighed: "Military advisor, look at Ximen Qing's demeanor, how could he be the minister who is inferior to others? If he really recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, I am afraid that there will be something you and I can't bear to say at that time! Humph! This person has always seen from his words and deeds that there is no king or father, don't think so! Military advisor should not expect him to be kind, have good thoughts, and be loyal to the court!"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "It depends on human affairs. If Ximen Qing has the means of enlightenment, but as long as you and my brothers plan it properly, let him make wedding clothes for us, what's the point?"

Song Jiang pondered: "This... is not a hero or hero... use it in this way..."

Wu Yong sneered, "Brother is so tragic! But he didn't hear that a real man was powerful and unable to use his wisdom? You and my brothers are the first priority, so he started to think about it, but what's the regret?"

Song Jiang followed the boat and said, "Oh! The military advisor is right. Since that's the case, let's temporarily apply for Qianlong and don't use it. Let's see when Ximen Qing will be rampant!"

As they said that, the two looked at each other and smiled. This is exactly:

I also saw the sky like a crane, and even more like a sandworm. But I don’t know what happened next, so I will listen to the next breakdown.
