Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 491 92 Five Lakes Company under the pillow-2

"Is your husband bothered by these two letters from Privy Yue and Hou Anfu?"

A pair of soft pancreas stretched out from behind the ears, and the belly of the thumb gently pressed on the temple, which made his frown slightly relaxed.Han Shizhong didn't answer, just sighed, and said slowly: "Brother Tiemu underestimated the enemy, he only led 2 troops and went deep alone, surrounded by my three families. ..."

He paused, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Although Jingdong has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and dozens of prefectures and counties, after the fall of Henan and Hebei, Jingdong was in a corner. You can retreat, and the only way to survive is to use troops outside, so that the Liao thieves have no time to look east. Ezhou is in the middle of the world, and Chen Dong's party members are all over the states and counties. Zhao Xingde's reputation is also very high, but Ezhou is separated from Xiangyang. It's too close, I'm afraid there are still variables in the battle for the throne. Although Chen Dong in Ezhou is famous, his foothold is not stable. He even transferred Zhao Xingde's Baoyi Army out of Ezhou, and the remaining soldiers are not Liu at all. The opponents of Yanqing and Cao Di. Ezhou and Xiangyang are fighting each other. If the Liao thieves take advantage of the opportunity, the situation in Jingdong will be even more unimaginable. My tens of thousands of people seem to be very important now. I can't support the beams."

Han Shizhong pulled his wife's hands from the back of his head to the front, closed his eyes and said, "Hongyu, tell me, how should we deal with this situation?" He is usually bold and cautious, giving the impression that he is a pure warrior .Regarding the considerations among these Song Dynasty forces, even if it is the center of the Zhenhai Navy, Hou Huanyin, the comfort envoy of Jingdong, has never revealed it.

Madam hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Your husband just kept talking about Jingdong, but when I heard people mentioning your husband outside, they all said that the world of the Song Dynasty is counting on your husband, Mr. Zhao and Yue Shumi." Her voice was crisp and clear. , It sounds like pearls falling on a jade plate.

"If you want to talk about the world, what is my little army?" Han Shizhong was about to shake his head disapprovingly, and suddenly he was taken aback, as if thinking of something, "Me, Zhao Xingde and Yue Fei?" He frowned and said to himself, "Together, there are only tens of thousands of elite soldiers." A thought that had never occurred to him suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, his eyes lit up slightly, and he shook his head again, "How can the three of us be so different from each other?" Come together?" Sighed, although the world is in chaos now, it is not the time of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.

"Isn't Mr. Zhao an old acquaintance?" The crisp voice said again, "Why does my husband seem a little unfamiliar when I mention him?"

"One moment, and another moment." Han Shizhong sighed, he shook his head and said, "Everyone is the master, you don't know who Mr. Zhao is."

The fingers at the back of his head froze slightly. Obviously, Han Shizhong knew about it, but his wife didn't know much about it.Han Shizhong's eyes were a bit complicated, and he didn't explain much.When he was in charge of the Henghai Navy, he had exchanged old grain in the army for ordnance and wood in Liaodong, so he was quite familiar with the achievements of the Han army Zhao De.After the Battle of Nanshan, Han Shizhong admired Zhao De a lot and regretted not being able to meet him, so he sent a painter to Liaodong to draw Zhao De's appearance.Unexpectedly, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it.Zhao De represents the support of the Xia Kingdom court for the Han army, which is not a secret among the Han army.Han Shizhong thought about it, Zhao Xingde was forced by the court's "treacherous" ministers, so it's nothing to be an official in the Xia Kingdom.Afterwards, when the northern captives invaded, Zhao Xingde suddenly appeared in Ezhou again. He guessed that it must have something to do with Xia, but he still remembered his old friend and didn't tell Hou Huanyin this amazing insider news.This concealment made Han Shizhong feel a little guilty.

"Standing in the world, you can't be an ungrateful person. The comforter Hou has shown me the kindness of knowing you, so I have to put aside those old feelings." After finishing speaking, he slapped his palm with his right fist, and said bitterly: "It's a pity that the emperor listened The "treacherous" sycophantic words, change Wang Jieshuai to Hebei, otherwise, with Wang Jieshuai's ability, the southeast camp has enough food, maybe Bianliang has been recovered now, and the northern captives will be so arrogant in that round." If With Wang Yan still alive, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Zhao Xingde will serve him, so they won't be caught between the major forces and worry about each other as they are now.

Hearing the word "Old Love", Madam's fingers stopped slightly, she was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "The Son of Heaven has no kindness to Master Hou. Today, the Son of Heaven is captured by a foreign country, and the court is in turmoil. Expel the Liao thieves and welcome them back." The Son of Heaven is where righteousness lies. I don’t have much knowledge. I only know the things in the world. The big can tolerate the small, but the small cannot tolerate the big. If your husband and Yue Shumi jointly defeat the Liao army, you will be honored to wait for the pacifier, and you may not take care of yourself. I don’t know the kindness of knowing you. But if you follow Master Hou’s wishes for a while, I’m afraid that Jingdong Road will not be able to be kept in the future, and both personal favors and righteousness will be lost, and my husband will definitely regret it.”

Mrs. Han's nature is bold and strong. Since she followed Han Shizhong, her personality has become a lot gentler, and it is rare for someone to speak so directly.Han Shizhong couldn't help being slightly startled, and said in his mouth: "The big one can tolerate the small, but the small one can't tolerate the big." He thought for a moment, then nodded, "Madam's words are reasonable. I'll go and meet with Yue Fei first." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, he pulled the soft pan to the front, tilted his whole head back, buried in a pile of soft pan, and said with a smile, "Where did Madam hear this, why does it seem to me that it is Men and women, hehe, let’s talk. Madam said, is Lao Han’s big or small?”

Madam Xiafei dimpled, glared at him, and was about to withdraw her hand, but was pushed forward by Lao Han, and fell into her arms involuntarily.Han Shizhong chuckled, and was about to continue his work, when suddenly, there was a burst of noise outside the cabin, not only beating gongs and drums, but also people crying for grievances.The excitement that had just woken up was disturbed, and the jade man stood up from his arms with a blushing face, beckoning him to go out and have a look.

Han Shizhong had no choice but to say: "Madam, wait a moment, I'll go back." Then he walked out of the cabin with a dark face.

Several officers were already standing on the deck, pointing and whispering to the pier.The large ships of the Hengjun Navy could not dock, and had to stay in the deep water of the river. However, wherever they went, various ministries sent small boats to replenish fruits and livestock from the shore.Some of the military supplies that are optimistic about are bought with money, and some are taken away directly. The common people dare not compete with the military master.It was not the first time for the navy to patrol the river. It was not the first time that the people came to the wharf. All the officers were gloating and guessed which part of the army was responsible for it.

Han Shizhong came out of the cabin and asked sharply, "What's going on?"

All the generals looked at each other, trembling and afraid to speak. Seeing that Han Shizhong was so angry, one general said in a low voice: "It seems to be a boat from the Dingsheng Camp on the pier. I don't know the specific situation." The division will be led by Guo Zongyi.When Han Shizhong heard the words, his eyes froze, and he said in a muffled voice, "Wait for me to go and have a look!"

The soldiers didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately rushed to row the boat. A few confidant soldiers accompanied Han Shizhong, and the boat slowly moved towards the pier.The pier looks a bit rundown, the slope protection made of gravel on the side wall is okay, but after years of erosion by the river, the protection piles outside the pier have been rotten.The road surface on the pier is slightly raised, and the black moss that has grown over the years is very slippery.As soon as the personal soldiers set up the plank of the boat, Han Shizhong jumped on it, only to feel his feet slipping and shaking slightly, and then he stabilized his figure.

"Be careful, general!" The soldiers behind him yelled, as if the commander was in great danger.

Han Shizhong hummed slightly, and waved his hands behind him, signaling them not to make such a fuss.It's strange to say that if the soldiers are not so good, Han Shizhong must be upset, but whenever the soldiers look like this, he thinks these guys are too flattering.At this moment, the soldiers and common people of the Dingsheng Battalion confronting each other on the wharf all looked over. Some soldiers recognized Han Shizhong and murmured in a low voice, and their voices suddenly became quieter. One after another came to complain and cry for grievances, but the people were mixed, the people were "speaking" Jiangnan soft language, and the soldiers were shouting loudly, Han Shizhong couldn't understand what they said at all.

Guo Zongyi, the commander of the Dingsheng Battalion, was about to speak, but Han Shizhong stared at him. Guo Zongyi immediately fell silent, and the soldiers of the Dingsheng Battalion under his command also stopped clamoring.Han Shizhong nodded in satisfaction, turned to the local people, and asked sharply: "It's good, what kind of grievances are you waiting to gather on this pier, and explain it clearly to the general." He paused, looked Looking at the 'color' of the sky, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and added, "Hurry up!"

Han Shizhong was wearing brocade robes, and he knew he was a high official at a glance. When he asked, the people became a little timid. After a while, an old man in his 50s or [-]s came out of the crowd and bowed to Han Shizhong: My lord, you have to make the decision for this old man." The old man seemed to be the one in charge, Han Shizhong nodded and said, "Say, what is it?"

Although the old man has a strong local accent, there are no dialects that outsiders can't understand.After listening to him for a while, Han Shizhong understood everything, and couldn't help but glared at Guo Zongyi again, and cursed secretly: "You son of a bitch!"

It turned out that when the Dingsheng Battalion went ashore to replenish military supplies, it was actually a half-buying and half-robbing business, and Han Shizhong usually turned a blind eye to it.In these years, the loyalty of the army is the most important thing. For the rest, as long as things don't make a big fuss, that's fine.When Guo Zongyi, the commander of the Dingsheng Battalion, passed by the old man's family, he fell in love with the old man's daughter and snatched her onto the boat.It has been more than ten days since the incident happened. The old man is a well-known country gentry nearby. His daughter was robbed and humiliated his family. to come back.
