Chapter 191 The Only Weakness

Ten miles away, the full moon hangs high.

The army conquering Tubo won the first battle and defeated the four Tubo coalition forces in one fell swoop. The leading general Yao Gu ordered the whole army to celebrate and allowed them to drink heavily.

An empty wine jar rolled aside, Hu Yantong hiccupped in satisfaction, looked at Han Shizhong who was out of his mind and asked, "Po Han Wu, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, what Shao Zai does is sometimes bright and upright like the blue sky, and sometimes it's a bit irritating"

Hu Yantong laughed, and said: "Pu Han Wu, everyone says you are thick on the outside and thin on the inside. According to me, you are a fool. If Yang Shaozai plays by the rules, he is still a small official who is released outside. Hey, put food in Hengshan. Anyway, I don’t care about other things. I saw my elder brother in Xingqing Mansion a few days ago. He said that without Yang Shaozai, my father would have starved to death in Hengshan. No matter what tricks his mother uses to save my father. Kindness is not in vain."

Han Shizhong was shocked, and suddenly realized that he claimed to be smart, but in fact he was not as clear as this idiot.

He laughed and said: "The Tubo people are already frightened. These powerful fighters are so vulnerable just because they lost their king. As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. Now it seems that it is indeed a golden word. Our Western Army Up and down, 20 people, from the old Mr. Xianggong to you, are all rootless duckweeds. From now on, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on the young masters to watch over them."

Hu Yantong cursed and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? According to what I said, I'd better go and ask for a pot of wine. You are now a commander, and your words have more weight than me. Hurry up and ask Lao Du for a pot."

In Jingzhou City, Qin Qingqing twisted the wet cloth, and gently helped Yang Lin wipe off the saponin bubbles on his hands and face, then bent down and gently washed his feet.

She does these errands willingly. Although she doesn't have to do them in Baihualou, she is not as comfortable as she is now.

Although the dodder flower is beautiful, it always needs to be next to a big tree. To be able to enter the residence of such a young envoy as a concubine is something that Qin Qingqing dare not even imagine.

Yang Lin closed his eyes and meditated. There are still many things to do in the northwest, but he has been away from Beijing for too long.

It is not a safe thing to stay away from the power center for a long time. The Cai Jing brothers left Bianjing for a month because their ancestral graves were dug up, and they changed the sky in Bianjing.

It has been more than two months since I left, plus half a month of delay along the way on the return journey, three months is really a bit risky for me who is currently on an unstable foundation.

Feeling the cold on his feet, Yang Lin stretched out habitually, but he didn't have the familiar soft feeling. When he looked down, he saw Qin Qingqing's eyes averted in surprise.

Yang Lin suddenly thought that this was her first time serving, so she smiled and said: "Stand straight and don't move, this is the rule of our Yang family."

Qin Qingqing blushed and held her head up, as if she was valiantly accepting a review. She waited for Yang Lin to dry her feet before standing up and pouring water with a blushing face.

In the Xingqing Mansion, the teacher will be sent to Bianjing tomorrow, and the big tent in the teacher's way is brightly lit.

Several patriarchs of the Western Army family gathered together to sit by a stove, the charcoal in the stove was burning vigorously, and the tent was full of warmth.

Among the public seed teachers of Xiaozhong's manager, they are a bit cold and proud by nature. Although they are all direct descendants of the Zhong family, their popularity is much lower than that of the old Zhong.

His face was as heavy as water, and he lowered his head and said: "The summer thief is gone, and the great trouble in the Northwest is no longer there. As the saying goes , as early as Shenzong's time, Sima Xianggong proposed to take back the military power of the Northwest family, and let us go to Bianliang to retire. Now that we go to Bianliang to offer victories, there is no guarantee that no one will bring up the old things again."

Zhe Keqiu chuckled, but didn't answer. Their Zhe family started in the early Tang Dynasty, and they were the masters of Fugu.It is impossible for them to hand over their military power honestly. They can be loyal to Song Dynasty and fight for Song Dynasty, but they must keep their own one-third of an acre of land.

Zhong Shidao looked around and said with a smile: "You don't have to be too nervous. If Xixia is gone, there will still be Tubo, and if Tubo is gone, there will still be Mongolia. Even if everything is wiped out, there is still a strong enemy like Khitan. Our Western Army has been bloody for a hundred years. It’s not for the purpose of killing people. I’ve looked at all the ministers in the court, and only Yang Shaozai is different, without the sourness and arrogance of those literati. Yang Shaozai was born as the number one scholar. A true god, if our Western Army wants to survive, we must have his blessing."

Zhe Keqiu nodded, and said: "This is true. I have seen with my own eyes that Yang Shaozai and a group of soldiers gathered around a large pot, shoveled snow into it, cooked meat and ate it. In the years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, how many civil servants Don't look down on us warriors. How was Di Qing back then? Being pointed at by one of Han Qi's concubines, a bastard who was born as a prostitute, and scolding the thief for joining the army, Han Qi just laughed loudly with his staff, quite amused.

Now that there is a Yang Shaozai, it should be the blessing of us warriors. Maybe changing the bad habits of the Song Dynasty and achieving both civil and military skills will also fall on this person. "

Master Zhong covered his mouth and said, "It's just that this person has a bad reputation and has a very bad reputation among scholars."

Zhong Shidao snorted coldly, and said: "If he is admired by scholars, and it's our turn to discuss here, then he will be as virtuous as those big headscarves. It's just that we entrust him with protection now, but we really can't come up with anything decent. Something that can move his heart.

He is a close minister of the emperor, the number one scholar, rich in gold at a young age, an official to an envoy at a young age, the most popular person in front of the official family, will he pay attention to me?

As long as I can persuade him and say a word in front of the officials, I will rest easy! "

The Great Song Dynasty emphasized civility over martial arts, and it has reached the bottom of its heart. It is so serious that these indomitable veterans will be extremely unconfident.

At this time, if a civil servant treats them a little better, these soldiers will fall in love with them. Unfortunately, looking at the Song Dynasty, there seems to be none.

This has something to do with the atmosphere at that time. The education that civil servants received before they entered the official position was destined to prevent them from having a close relationship and paying homage to the scholars of generals.This is Yang Lin's greatest advantage as a time traveler.

At this time, the young general Zhong Li standing behind them hesitated to speak.

Finally, he took a step forward and said in a soft voice: "Uncle, according to my nephew's observation, this person has suffered a lot, is not short of money, has a high position and authority, and has only one thing that can be used."

"Oh? What?" Everyone asked together.

"He was on the official road in Shaanxi. He rode his horse through the wind and snow. He was so cold that weeping like a stick. He couldn't get off the horse and let his subordinates hold him down. He was so sleepy that he still didn't forget to send his confidantes to the city to find beautiful women. It shows his lust. .”

Zhong Shidao tapped the table lightly, and said: "I'm waiting for the future of the Western Army, maybe it will be tied to this matter."

Chapter 192 Needing each other

In late spring, the tender branches spit green.The spring breeze is mixed with the remaining cold,

The Song Army of Xingqing Mansion left a few defensive envoys to guard the new cities, and then carefully selected soldiers, ready to go to Bianliang to show victory.

Near Hehuang, the Song army attacked the city with all its strength, and the Tubo people couldn't stand it, so they had to surrender.

Yao Gu collected the remnants of the Tubo tribe, settled the temporary officials, and left behind more than ten thousand soldiers. He took the leaders of the four tribes and rushed to join the defenders of Xingqing Mansion.

The two sides joined forces in Jingzhou, and none of the Xixia royal family died, all of them were detained in the army.

Yang Lin stretched his waist, came out of the government office, and was startled.

There were seven or eight generals standing at the door, all looking at him with smiles.

"When did you guys come here? Why are you so neat, huh? General Yao, didn't you fight Tubo in Hehuang?"

Zhong Shidao led the crowd, clasped their fists together and said: "Young Zai, Tubo is a clown, and it has been recovered. I am waiting for the whole division to lead the compilation, and I am ready to go to Bianjing to present the victory. I just wait for Shao Zai's order." , and you can go.”

Yang Lin originally planned to leave, but for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.

In his plan, these veteran generals of the Western Army are not idiots, they should understand their situation.

Except for Qin Long, the Song Dynasty did not have any army, and the general had the power of the Western Army.

If they want to maintain their power, don't they know that they need to find a backer?I was as tired as my second grandson, and I asked my subordinates to search for beauties in Yan'an mansion, wasn't it just to give them a signal and an opportunity.

You must know that Qin Qingqing was found to offer it, and Yang Lin didn't even look at it the first night, and fell asleep.

Now these generals are happy to go to Bianliang. If they can't get on the line with themselves, it is estimated that after the victory, they can drink wine and release their military power.These veterans can stay away from their own territory, buy beautiful maidservants in Bianliang, live in luxury houses, eat together, and die.

To be honest, Yang Lin didn't want to see this kind of situation. Once the Western Army was directly controlled by the imperial court, it was bound to be like other Song armies. The soldiers didn't know their generals, the generals didn't know their soldiers, and their combat effectiveness gradually became mediocre.

You guys are so blind, it's hard for me to do it, isn't there anyone who submits a certificate and goes up to the pole to protect you?

Yang Lin sighed, and said: "In this case, let's go. I have been away from Bianjing for a long time, and the Holy Majesty has issued an order, which was delivered last night, asking me to return to Beijing quickly."

When the generals heard it, Yang Shaozai's grand family was indeed unparalleled, and the official family could not be separated from this close minister for a moment.

How did they know that when Zhao Ji heard that he was going to show off his victories, he was afraid that he would not be able to create such a grand scene if he asked others to do it.
