Chapter 317 Bad News

Everyone smiled and returned to Tokyo City, Ling Zhen didn't go back to the residence to pack anything, he followed Sun Lei and kept asking about gunpowder.

"Brother! Why did you go all night?"

Gongsun Sheng, Tang Bin, Jiao Ting, and Ma Lin were all overjoyed to see Sun Lei come back, but Sun Lei didn't come back all night, but they were very worried.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Brother Ling Zhen. He was nicknamed Hong Tianlei, but he is a great gunner. He will also be our brother of Liangshan in the future."

Sun Lei smiled and introduced Ling Zhen to everyone.

"Brother went there to find people again, and he didn't take my Tie Niu with him for fun, because he was partial!"

Li Kui complained, he felt that Sun Lei must have taken a few people out to play all night while he was drunk.

"You iron bull is as drunk as a dead pig and want to go out?"

Sun Lei looked at Li Kui and said.

"Brother can wake me up!"

Li Kui is not forgiving.

"Okay, brother hasn't slept all night, don't mess around!"

Shi Qian looked at Li Kui and said, they haven't rested since yesterday, and Sun Lei even competed with Ling Zhen in gunpowder skills, so he must be very tired now.

After hearing this, Li Kui could only mutter and retreat.

"I've been tired for two days, so take a good rest first."

Sun Lei also felt sleepy. He smiled and said to several people that he didn't expect to sleep well on the first night in Tokyo. It seemed that the journey would not be smooth.

afternoon.

Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang returned with gloomy faces.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wen, what's going on? Did something happen?"

Seeing that the faces of the two were not looking good, Ma Lin quickly asked, the two military advisers went out to visit friends yesterday, and they didn't come back until this afternoon, and their faces were still so ugly.

"What about brother?"

Xiao Jiasui asked.

"My brother also went out for a night. He just came back and slept not too long. By the way, my brother also brought back a hero, Hong Tianlei Lingzhen. I heard that he used to be the deputy gunner of Jiazhanku."

Malin replied.

"Brother Xiao, we don't need to be in a hurry, it won't be too late to talk after brother rests."

Wen Huanzhang looked at Xiao Jiasui and said.

"That's right, there's no rush."

Xiao Jiasui sighed.

"The two military advisers are also tired. The room at the back has been cleaned up. Why don't you go to rest first. When my brother wakes up, I will notify the two military advisers."

Ma Lin didn't know what happened, but it seemed that Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang hadn't slept all night, so he said.

As the sky gradually darkened, Sun Lei woke up leisurely yawning. He was full of energy after waking up from this sleep.

"Ma Lin? What's the matter?"

Pushing open the door, Sun Lei saw Ma Lin waiting outside the door, and asked with some doubts.

"Brother, the two military advisers are back. It seems that there is something important. I will notify the two military advisers right away."

Ma Lin looked at Sun Lei and said.

"Is there something important? Next time, if there is something urgent, just wake me up."

Sun Lei nodded.

When he came to the hall, Sun Lei sat down, and some of his subordinates had already served the food and wine.

"The two military advisers didn't eat either, let's eat together."

Sun Lei smiled and greeted Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang and Ma Lindao who came out together.

Because Sun Lei woke up, Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Tang Bin, Li Kui, Shi Qian, and Ling Zhen also came out, sitting together was like having a dinner party.

"What do the two military divisions have to say?"

Seeing Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang's distressed faces, Sun Lei asked.

"Brother, I'm afraid that what you said the day before yesterday is really coming!"

Wen Huanzhang clasped his fists at Sun Lei and said with a wry smile.

"Tell me in detail?"

Sun Lei looked at Wen Huanzhang and asked.

"Yesterday I went to visit my former classmate, Su Taiwei, who is now in the court. During the banquet, I asked about the northern affairs. Su Taiwei said something, including Tong Guan's recent words like the emperor, to unite with the newly-emerged Jurchen. Destroy the Liao Kingdom and recover the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures."

Wen Huanzhang said.

Su Taiwei is kind and generous, treats people with kindness, and is friendly. When he sees his classmates coming, he will talk about everything when he is drunk. Anyway, in Su Taiwei's eyes, Wen Huanzhang is just a scholar in the wild. It's nothing to say, and he has the right to brag. .

"So soon?"

Sun Lei was also a little surprised. Tong Guan's reaction was fast enough. The Jurchens had just gained some momentum. Tong Guan had an idea so quickly?
"Brother, this Tong Guan has been defending the Liao Kingdom and Xixia in the frontier army all year round. I don't know how many eyeliners he has planted in the territory of the Liao Kingdom. The information is far better than ours. The younger brother also found some. There is a Liao Dynasty named Ma Zhi." He joined Tong Guan a few years ago, and Tong Guan arranged for Ma Zhi to work as a spy in the Liao Kingdom. Not long ago, Ma Zhi suddenly returned to Tokyo Tong Guan, and now he is serving as Secretary Cheng, and was named Zhao Liangsi by the emperor."

Xiao Jiasui said that he and Wen Huanzhang went out yesterday to inquire about the situation of the Liao Kingdom and the newly rising Jurchen, but they did not expect that things were far worse than they expected.

"Ma Zhi? Zhao Liangsi?"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jia suspiciously.

"Brother, in the first year of Zhenghe Tong Guan was sent to Liao. At that time, Ma Zhi was just a scholar in Yanjing. Tong Guan, he was the one who proposed the joint Jurchens to destroy the Liao Dynasty. And Tong Guan is so happy, he is naturally unwilling to give up such an incomparable achievement of destroying the Liao Dynasty and recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the two hit it off..."

Xiao Jiasui said, he has known nobles for a long time, a Liao man who can become a secretary when he first arrives in Tokyo is very eye-catching, and this Liao man was named Zhao Liangsi by the emperor, it is impossible to hide his past deeds live.

"Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom rejected Zhongliang, indulged in lewdness, indulged in hunting, and cited small groups, which led to the rise of thieves, the misery of the people, and the collapse of the clan. It seems to be true. This guy and Zhao Ji are crouching dragons and phoenixes. A born prodigal."

Sun Lei said with a smile, Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi are really like brothers, and the waste is always surprisingly similar.

"Brother, this Ma Zhi suddenly returned to Tokyo and served as Secretary Cheng, it should be to offer advice to Zhao Ji."

Wen Huanzhang said with a serious face.

"Military division, isn't this very good! It's said in the military book that we should fight from a distance and attack from a distance."

Tang Bin said, he doesn't know any strategy, but as a military officer, he has also read military books. Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are a thorn in the flesh of all soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and everyone wants to take it back.

"Brother Tang Bin, the art of war is not used in this way. It is really good to make a long-distance attack and a short-range attack, but it also needs to weigh the strength of the two sides. You need to know that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!"

Wen Huanzhang sighed and said, Tang Bin's idea cannot be said to be wrong, it is a normal idea of ​​an ordinary general, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, the real strategy must consider the overall situation, and must look far away, not just in front of the eyes small profit.

"This... little brother doesn't understand!"

Tang Bin couldn't understand this. As an ordinary military officer, he thought there was nothing wrong with destroying the Liao Kingdom and recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Lu Zhishen next to him also had the same idea as Tang Bin. He fought Xixia in the Western Army. If he could destroy Xixia, he wouldn’t mind cooperating with people he didn’t know. ?
As for Shi Qian, Jiao Ting, Ma Lin, and Ling Zhen, they didn't understand these things, and their faces were blank, as if they were listening to a scripture.Li Kui ate and drank and didn't listen at all.Only Gongsun Sheng frowned and seemed to be thinking.
