One Piece of Song Dynasty

As time went by, all aspects of Xinghan Island were progressing steadily. In April, Wanyan Aguda was dissatisfied with Emperor Tianzuo's appointment of him as the Emperor of Donghuai Kingdom, so he once again launched an army to attack the Liao Dynasty. The war between Liao and Jin Dynasties reignited. In this way, Liang Xing and Zhao Yun became even more busy.

After Zhao Yun received the news that the war between Liao and Jin had resumed, he asked: "Huzi, what happened to the people we arranged to join the Liao army?"

Huzi replied: "Thank you sir, they have all gone out with the army."

Zhao Yun sighed: "Okay, I know, I hope everything goes well for them."

Huzi said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lang. After our operation, several of them have already become officials. The highest one, Yang Yun, has already served as the military commander. There are also several remaining battalion commanders and Dutou commanders." , with soldiers they should have no problem protecting themselves."

Zhao Yun asked: "Have you seen the training of their army?"

Huzi replied: "My subordinates have gone to see it. With our secret financial support, those soldiers are well fed and trained more diligently than other armies. Those soldiers are also hardworking and uncomplaining, but the equipment is not good."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "There is nothing you can do about the equipment. If you strengthen the equipment, it will easily arouse others' suspicion. It's okay to improve the food in private. Okay, you can go down. I have something to go out for a walk."

Huzi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Langjun."

Zhao Yun went out for a walk, and when there was no one around in the evening, he quietly came to the back door of Liang Xing's mansion.

Zhao Yun knocked on the door, and after a while the door opened and Niu San's head was revealed: "Hey, Deputy Commander Zhao is here, come in quickly."

After Zhao Yun entered the mansion, he asked: "Where is Commander Liang?"

Niu San replied: "Commander Liang is accompanying his wife in the yard."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "That's right. Your wife, Commander Liang, is almost three months pregnant. Okay, you can step back and go find Commander Liang by yourself."

Zhao Yun walked to the yard and saw Liang Xing talking to Qinglian, which made Qinglian giggle. Zhao Yun walked forward quietly. Qinglian discovered what Zhao Yungang was about to say, and Zhao Yun signaled Qinglian not to speak.

Zhao Yun quietly walked up behind Liang Xing and suddenly patted Liang Xing on the shoulder and said, "Brother Liang, I'm living a very comfortable life these days."

Liang Xing looked back and said, "Hey, Brother Zhao, you scared me. Why did you come here?"

Zhao Yun said: "Why, Brother Liang doesn't welcome so-and-so, are you afraid that so-and-so will disturb your beautiful life?"

Liang Xing waved his hand: "No, I'm just curious about what brought you, Brother Zhao, here today. You don't come here very often."

Zhao Yun said: "The war between Liao and Jin has started again. I'm here to see if there is any news. By the way, how is my wife's health? She has two lives now."

Qinglian stood up and said: "Thank you, Vice Commander Zhao, for your concern. Qinglian is in good health. You guys can chat, and I will go back to the house to see Han Xing."

After Qinglian left, Liang Xing said: "According to the information obtained so far, the Jin Army's current goal is to go to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Linhuang Mansion is a fortified city, and the Liao army should be able to defend it."

Liang Xing shook his head and said: "It's really hard to say. The situation inside the Liao Kingdom is not optimistic. How is the situation over there?"

Zhao Yun said: "The people who have been deployed into the Liao army have all set off with the army. However, after all, these Han troops are equivalent to the auxiliary troops of the Liao army. I don't know whether they can successfully complete the mission in the end."

Liang Xing sighed: "Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the rest depends on God's will."

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "If the Liao army cannot defend Linhuang Mansion, your horse trade will be accelerated. If Linhuang Mansion falls into the hands of the Jin army, it will not be easy to continue buying horses there in the future." ."

Liang Xing nodded and said: "This is something I didn't expect. Thank you Brother Zhao for reminding me. I will ask Sun Xing to speed up."

Zhao Yun said: "Okay, Brother Liang, please go and accompany your sister-in-law. I will leave first."

Liang Xing cupped his fists and said, "Okay, then Brother Zhao, walk slowly, I won't send you away."

Just over half a month after the conversation between Liang and Zhao, Liang Xing received news of the fall of Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.

After receiving the news of the fall of Linhuang Mansion, Liang Xing paced the room anxiously for a while and said: "Niu San, inform Mr. Wang Xiu and Fan Wen through secret channels and let them make all preparations."

Niu San replied: "Yes, Langjun, I will do it now."

Liang Xing added: "Wait a minute, we will also find Sun Xing for someone, and also inform Deputy Commander Zhao to ask him to come see someone at night."

Niu San cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Langjun, I understand."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Sun Xing came: "Lang Jun, are you looking for someone?"

Liang Xing nodded and said: "Yes, Linhuang Mansion has fallen into the hands of the Jin people. Your caravan will be suspended for a while to check the situation. I will write to you to explain the situation."

Sun Xing replied: "Okay, Sir, I understand."

Liang Xing asked: "In the past year and a half, how many horses did your caravan transport to the Song Dynasty?"

sun One hundred and fifty mares of both species are also included."

Liang Xing said: "I have worked hard on you for the past year and a half. I will tell the adults about your contribution. Okay, you can go down and rest first."

Sun Xing replied: "Yes, Lang Jun. I would like to thank Lang Jun first."

After Sun Xing left, Liang Xing wrote a secret letter to Li Xin, explaining the situation of Liao and Jin Dynasties and the details of the horse purchase to Li Xin clearly, and asking Li Xin for instructions on what to do next.

After writing the letter, Liang Xing called Niu San: "Niu San, go quickly and send this confidential letter to your Excellency."

Niu San cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Langjun, let's go and do it right now."

In the evening, Zhao Yun quietly came to Liang Mansion after receiving the letter.

Zhao Yun saw Liang Xing and asked: "Brother Liang is so anxious to find someone, what happened?"

Liang Xing handed the information he got to Zhao Yun: "Brother Zhao, take a look for yourself."

After reading it, Zhao Yun was surprised and said: "Why did Linhuang Mansion fall so quickly? It must have been too fast."

Liang Xing nodded and said: "This Liao army is too inexperienced. The Jin army surrendered as soon as they captured the outer city of Linhuang Mansion."

Zhao Yun said: "How long has it been since then? The troops sent to help from here have probably just reached the vicinity of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing."

Liang Xing said thoughtfully: "Well, I guess they won't go forward, and they will probably be stationed near Dading Mansion in Zhongjing."

Zhao Yun suddenly said: "You said that the Liao army is so invincible, is there any possibility for the imperial court to regain Yanyun? Didn't you say that the imperial court will join forces with the Jin Dynasty to attack the Liao Dynasty?"

Liang Xing thought for a while and said: "Brother Zhao, I advise you not to be too optimistic about the imperial army. From my perspective, the imperial army is only about the same as the Liao army. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose."

Zhao Yun sighed: "Okay, I know."
