Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 189 The fine tradition of the Song Army

In the Chinese military camp, when Qu Duan knew the name of the person who walked in, he immediately smiled and said, "I thought you would cry."

Song people, captives, imperial students.

None of these labels could make Qu Duan feel sympathetic, especially the last one, which made him feel uncomfortable from head to toe.

The King of Han sent a dwarf over to be more interesting than this young man who held his head high and clearly had not been beaten by reality, so Qu Duan immediately disliked him even more.

After all, after coming to Yunzhong, it was obvious that the officials in the Yanyun Army and the officials in the Song Dynasty did not have the same attitude towards doing things. After getting used to the former, Qu Duan was always eager to punish the latter.

"Stand straight with your head raised and your waist high, and say, what's your name?"

"The lower official Chen Dong was appointed as Sima of the army. Under the order of the King of Han, he joined the general's tent and was in charge of food and supplies."

"The words were spoken smoothly."

Qu Duan had nothing to do today, so he just caught Chen Dong tormenting him. He put down his brush, motioned for Chen Dong to sit next to him, and then asked, "Are you literate?"

This problem is like catching a college student in later generations and asking him to solve a linear equation of one variable. It is purely for humiliation. Qu Duan admitted that he had many and complicated thoughts, but he was now happy to do things for the King of Han, so he temporarily decided that today would be just a small Use provocative words instead of making the new Sima from Song Dynasty cry.

Chen Dong thought casually.

After saying this, Qu Duan continued: "Today, all the grain and fodder records of a large camp and four small camps will be counted again. The number of horses and mules in the army will be listed in a book. Three days later, Cai Cai When the grain team sent by the prefect arrives, the merits will be counted if they arrive one day early and if they arrive one day later, the merits and severe punishments will also be recorded in a book."

Chen Dong nodded. He began to clearly feel a kind of unfriendliness from his "comatriots", but he quickly told himself that it didn't matter. After all, the malice from his compatriots would only radiate more than that from his colleagues.

It's not that I admire Chen Dong's integrity or character, it's just the sense of identity that bursts out when two trolls meet together.

Qu Duan stopped smiling and his face turned a little dark. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I'm starting to like you."

I am a waste who counts money to make money,

"Literacy."

"Do you know how to count?" Qu Duan couldn't wait to ask a lower level question, for fear that Chen Dong wouldn't feel his malice.

And Qu Duan was both a "comatriot" and a colleague. Otherwise, why would the King of Han send him here? Probably, it was to let the former find an opportunity to kill him.

Chen Dong's eyes began to search for pen and paper subconsciously. He had just arrived and still needed time to get familiar with what he, a damn regular Sima, should do.

You are Qiu Ba who can't even win a battle.

"What do you mean?" Half of the smile on Qu Duan's face disappeared.

Chen Dong calmly replied: "Do you have to ask for it?"

Qu Duan thought that the other party was angry, but a smile appeared on his face, waiting for Chen Dong to retort or jump directly.

"If you tell me back to the general, know how to count."

But Chen Dong started counting without hesitation, and after he finished counting, he added: "Xiaguan thought that the King of Han looked at me differently, but I didn't expect that Xiaguan and the general had sympathy for each other."

"Now,"

"Count from one to ten."

"If the general here is important, then the general will definitely assign more important and difficult tasks to the subordinates. Obviously, the general has no battles to fight here, so he can earn money just by counting." Chen Dong said curiously: " General, this is the most nurturing place in Yanyun, right?"

Qu Duan said happily: "Admiral Han should have the troop deployment documents handed down in the next two days. I am going out to patrol the camp now. Chen Sima, you have to follow me."

"What should the subordinate do?"

"Count." "There are a lot of people in the Song Dynasty who were demoted from official positions and generals and fought against each other privately." Han Fang reminded that he had been in contact with Cai Jing when he came to Yunzhong, so he couldn't imagine that this gentle old guy would actually He shouted that he wanted to kill his own son Cai Songnian.

"He was greedy for some money, and he was found out again. As an old man, he must show a clear attitude."

Liu Ling said lightly.

After Cai Jing completely changed his family, he always tried his best to do things. Compared with the several rebellions in the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing didn't think so much. After Liu Ling sent someone to take over his family, he worked hard. He worked even harder, even his son Cai Songnian later got an official position and worked under his father.

After all, Cai Songnian was still young and a little greedy, and he was exposed immediately. But coincidentally, the King of Han was in the clouds now. God knows if he would be used to scare the monkeys.

Cai Jing's move was to retreat in order to advance, and he played the emotional card. He would rather let Cai Songnian be punished and lose his official position now, which would probably allow Cai Songnian to survive.

What's more, even if Cai Songnian died, Cai Jing and his whole family would at least still be alive.

After all, Cai Jing is just a surrendered minister, not one of the generals who followed him all the way under the King of Han, so he can't be special.

Han Fang opened his mouth, intending to persuade, because Cai Jing's current position is very important, and he himself is also very capable. To a certain extent, Yunzhong is more annoying than the bad place in Yandi.

Because there are aboriginal people in Yunzhong, there are Song people who migrated there, there are prairie people who became good people after being captured, there are Xia people, there are also family members of the Liao army who retreated from the northwest to conquer Si Kedun City, and there are all kinds of people. There are a relatively small number of foreigners, such as Sogdians, Tatars, Shiwei and other messy people.

Yunzhong can no longer be said to be a mixed bag of fish and dragons, but a big dye vat through and through. Anyone who wants to live a good life in the cloud will definitely not have any regional concepts or discrimination in their mind when they come out of the cloud in three months, and they will think about the unity of the world from body to heart.

But what Cai Jing taught was not a group of gentlemen, but a group of people who were accustomed to licking blood from the edge of a knife and sometimes behaved more like animals than animals.

So Liu Ling laughed and said, "He probably doesn't know who tipped me off, but I just let him know that I knew about it so that he could face the facts head-on."

Han Fang was slightly startled and said in confusion:

"If he knew"

"He won't know, just like he doesn't know who is telling me bad things about him without telling him." Liu Ling said calmly: "Cai Jing surrendered to me and said inappropriate words, as if he was deceived. Just like a pregnant young lady, he knows that I am in danger, oh, he does know now, but you know, the feeling I can give him, his parents and his unexperienced groom can't give him. he.

In the Song Dynasty, I asked him to be a high official in the border areas and to be my wife and son. In fact, that’s all I gave him. But what did he see? He saw himself helping a carp to jump over the dragon gate and turn into a dragon. He What he saw was that he might be able to hold that dragon up to heaven! "

"After this time, I will only punish Cai Songnian publicly, and then give Cai Jing more authority to make him feel that I need him, because he desperately needs this feeling, and he also needs to use this to convince himself , because he can't look back.

It would be good for both of us to tell him earlier, otherwise, I will keep this hidden danger until people from the Kingdom of Jin, Song, or even Xia say something to him. You don’t want the King of Han to know about this, right? "

Liu Ling laughed. He saw that Han Fang was fascinated by what he heard, and reached out to slap him on the shoulder.

"I heard that the Yellow Emperor took more than 70 people up with him when he rode a dragon to heaven. Some petty officials were holding on to the dragon's beard and couldn't get up, so the dragon's beard fell down with them." Liu Ling said lightly: "What I'm doing now, It is nothing more than making them believe that they are following the general trend and will not fall behind.

Since you can follow the general trend, you will naturally be itchy and want to take a gamble.

Even when they have conflicts with others, they will use like-minded ideas to force themselves to actively reconcile with others.

Cai Jing is like this, Yelu Dashi is like this, and many others are like this, but you are not. "

Liu Ling dared to tell Han Fang, because he had figured out Han Fang's thoughts and explained it directly to him, which would make Han Fang happy and feel that his King of Han was really awesome.

"You need to be patient internally, and you need business calculations of one kind or another, externally."

Liu Ling stood up, walked over, lifted the curtain, and looked outside.

Groups of soldiers were patrolling outside the tent. A gathering drum was erected on the general platform in the distance. There were banners and banners all around. The Han flag rolled up and down. On the flag, black white swallows fluttered high.

He said softly: "I will not explain, I will only let them remember it again and again."

"I am the real dragon."
