Chapter 395: Wisely Want to Choose

At the end of September, Heluo could no longer see any trace of autumn. Six or seven days ago, the north wind gradually rose, the weather was so fierce and cold, with red clouds spreading, half a month earlier than in previous years, and heavy snow came the next day.

Heluo established the mansion of the envoy.

In the silvery white all over the ground, a figure was walking in a hurry. The commander Zhai Jin rushed to the backyard with a staircase with a chaotic expression, excited, hesitant, excited, sad, and so on.

"Brother!"

In the study, Zhai Xing, the commander of the Northwest Road in Jingxi Road, was looking at the newspaper in his hand. This thing was a new thing that emerged from the Hedong area of ​​Hebei.

It was forbidden in the Song Dynasty. But in secret, many people couldn't put down their love, and Zhai Xing was one of them.

Because this newspaper will not only disclose some policies in the North, but also produce the results of the battle between the North and the Jurchens, as well as some overseas strange stories.

For example, Goryeo. It is precisely because of this newspaper that countless scholars and officials realized that the Goryeo royal family was so indifferent to human ethics. Even many civilians knew that the Goryeo royal family did not understand human ethics. How inhumane!

There is also the strange caste system of India and the Japanese kings who dared to call him "Emperor", which was really unaware of the so-called "Emperor". Of course, Li Tang always called him "Emperor". In the Zhao Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu absurdly called him "Emperor", which was recorded in the official history, which seemed even more unaware of the so-called.

There are Persia, Egypt, Europa, etc., names that are unheard of by ordinary people, countries where the vast majority of sentient beings are completely ignorant, and a short history that is completely different from Middle-earth, which spreads a brand new world in front of them little by little.

This is a huge attraction to people.

The newspaper in Zhai Xing's hand was already an old newspaper from eight days ago. According to the geographical location and importance of Heluo, newspapers in the north can only be sent across the Yellow River for only five days, and no matter how late it is, it will not exceed seven days. But this thing is shameful after all, and there will be occasional delays.

Five days ago, Zhai Xing had already seen the newspapers from six days ago, but today he only got the newspapers from seven days ago.

Because the contents in the newspaper basically do not involve confidentiality, the timeliness is meaningless. There is no difference between getting it two days earlier and two days later.

However, Zhai Xing is a person with a little awkward personality. After getting the newspaper, he didn't finish reading it and arranged it according to time. He felt a little uncomfortable. According to the 21st century, this is considered a patient with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Second brother?"

Looking at Zhai Jin with a snowflake, Zhai Xing was full of suspicion. What happened? He asked him to have such an expression?

But the next moment he thought of something, staring at Zhai Jin, "But is a letter from the North?"

Zhai Jin held a small copper tube tightly in his right hand, and there was a wax book inside, which was the letter sent by Liu Zhengyan.

"It was the news sent by Mr. Liu, the husband of Jinglei Xiao."

The so-called Xiao Liu refers to Liu Zhengyan, who is now the Zhangde General Strategy Envoy. Zhao Gou's system has no official position. Liu Zhengyan is the chief executive of Hebei West Road.

In charge of Zhangde, which is the most important person is to recruit the Western Army south of the river.

Because his father is Liu Fa.

The soldiers in the Western Army, no matter how big or small, few people will not sell Liu Zhengyan’s face. Zhai Jin and Zhai Xing brothers are one of the examples.

Moreover, Zhai Jin's relationship with him was closer. The reason was that Zhai Jin was once a brave general under Liu Fa's command when he was fighting in the northwest.

In the battle of Tong'an City, the Song army was defeated, and Liu Fa was not found in the chaos army. Zhai Jin led his own cavalry to break into the chaos army several times to search for it. Although he was unable to rescue Liu Fa from the ten thousand troops, the relationship between Zhai Jin and Liu Fa can also be seen.

Since Liu Zhengyan got in touch with him, he really "sees" the land of Heluo clearly.

"What? King Yan has actually recovered Yanjing?" He remembered that King Yan had only been sending troops for a few days.

"The power of the thunder of the sky cannot be resisted by human power. The Jin Lu cannot stop the thunder of the sky, and he cannot defend the land of Yanyun. According to Xiao Liu Jingluo's statement, the King of Yan will be afraid that he will turn around and go south next year..."

The people sent by Liu Zhengyan told him a lot about fighting in the north, and the Jurchens were at a disadvantage as soon as the war started. In the battle of Zhuozhou, they gathered more than 40,000 troops, and there were only 20,000 horses inside. But what was the result?

Just a mere five hundred horse army, the tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry of Jin Wushu were defeated. Jin Wushu's tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry of Jin Wushu was defeated. It was simply defeated by Yue Fei, so that Wanyan Loushi, who was hiding behind Zhuozhou, had to come out in advance to pick up Jin Wushu, and asked Guo Yaoshi, who was hiding in the city, to catch the blind. It was not that he saw the opportunity and led his army out of Zhuozhou City first, and even this contemporary three-class slave would have to die!

"It is worthy of being Yue Wudi, who is praised by King Yan, and it is really great!"

Zhai Xing is no better than his brother Zhai Jin. He has never served in the office for decades, but some people are born with their abilities. Earlier, Wang Xiang, the prefect of Henan and the governor of the West Road, left a few soldiers and horses to command Zhai Xing before escaping his life, and was nominally the tomb of the royal family who protected Gong County. When the Jin people swept across Heluo, Gao Shiyou surrendered to the Jin people in Zezhou and was appointed by Nianhan as the Xijing. Then Nianhan led the Jin army to Bianjing, and Zhaixing heard about it.

After the break, he and his brother Zhai Jin led hundreds of light soldiers, rolled up armor and rushed to Luoyang overnight, and captured Gao Shiyou and others without any effort. However, because Wang Xiang led the main force of the Song army in Heluo area to flee south, and the attack of the Jin people caused a great order in Heluo prefectures and counties. The thieves Ji De and Han Qing appeared in Ru and Luo, and Zhai Xing sent a light cavalry to attack Ji De, and Han Qing was saved by himself. Then he captured and killed Han Qing in the second battle.

His war experience is only this, far from being rich, and even comparable to his own brothers.

But he knew how difficult and powerful Yue Fei's series of actions in the Battle of Zhuozhou were. He knew very well.

Zhai Xing is far from being arrogant.

"My second brother was also a powerful general under the command of Mr. Liu Jingliu. How could he be more arrogant than Yue Wudi?" Zhai Xing was a little curious. He could have the ability of his brother Zhai Jin today, but with Zhai Jin's ability, he seemed not as good as Yue Pengju, who was this young.

When Tong'an City was defeated, Tong Guan pushed all the blame to Liu Fa. Zhai Jin was a general under Liu Fa and was also implicated and was suspended. Although he was restored to his post soon, he was appointed as the fourth general in the battle against Liao in Xuanhe in the fourth year of Xuanhe. However, after he resumed his post, he was renamed the fourth general in Hebei in half a year after he resumed his post. When he was in Suicheng, the Liao army came to attack. The commander Liu Yanqing took Zhai Jin as the vanguard and fought against the Liao army in Shilianggang and Lugouhe in Youzhou, and they all won.

In a sense, Zhai Xing's experience in leading troops and fighting battles was far more than that of his elder brother Zhai Xing. However, the foundation for the Zhai brothers started their business was the local bravery in Heluo. In this regard, Zhai Xing's influence was far greater than Zhai Jin, let alone that he was Zhai Jin's elder brother. Therefore, among the two Zhai, Zhai Xing was the leader, and Zhai Jin disappeared after his brother was hidden.

But Zhai Xing could not really start a one-man show of justice and treat his brothers as his subordinates. Zhai Jin and Liu Zhengyan were hard to part with. Zhai Xing's persuasion twice failed, so he simply stopped persuading him.

This is the real way for the Zhai brothers to get along.

Moreover, both Zhai are strong-willed people and they look down on the monarchs and ministers of Bianliang City. Instead, the heroic King of Yan can make them feel more favorable.

If you don’t see it, Zhai Xing is now boasting about Yue Fei, and there is no concealment at all.

"This is a natural seed. If you try to sharpen it for three to five years, your future will be limitless. I dare not defeat him." Zhai Jin said this, but there was no displeasure on his face.

Is Yue Fei the center of the matter? It is clear that the regaining of Yan Jing is the most core.

A few years ago, the Supreme Emperor sacked his strength and lost how much money, grain, and soldiers were lost in order to get Yan Yun back, so that all the people in the northern part of the country were exhausted. Even the Jin people's breach of the contract and went south were due to the reason why the Song army performed too badly on the battlefield of Yan Yun.

But now, it seems very easy, Yan Yun has returned to the Central Plains.

"This news is about to spread. I wonder how the official in Bianliang City will be angry." Zhai Xing turned to Zhao Huan.

What is this master thinking? Who in the world still can’t see clearly these days?

Restricting the rice from the south to the north and restricting the grain from the Central Plains to the north. If possible, I can even wish I could call a Great Wall across the north and south, so that there would be no slight trade between each other.

Whether from a personal perspective or from the interests of his Zhai family, Zhai Xing was not very angry with Zhao Huan.

As a ruler and a herdsman, he could not protect the people for stability, or recover lost land and reorganize mountains and rivers; or he could not resist foreign enemies. Such an emperor was really unbearable to compare with Zhao Gou.

What's more, the fact that Zhao Huan had secretly had something to do with the Jin people could not hide too many people. This is an emperor who was completely dissatisfied with Zhai Xing's intentions, and Zhai Xing naturally had no loyalty to him.

"So what if you are angry? The emperor is strong and powerful. Now the King of Yan swept away Yan Yun, afraid that he will restore all the sixteen states soon. This Jurchen man could not resist his military attack. What can the Zhao official family in Bianliang be able to do? "

"In my opinion, once the King of Yan goes south next year, a new person will definitely be replaced by the throne of Bianliang City..."

Where will the Zhai family go? Zhai Jin looked at his elder brother and asked speechlessly.

Zhai Xing sighed. "What kind of relationship do you have with that little Liu Jingliu? Can you still meet with war?"

"Of course not." Zhai Jin cut the railway decisively.

"Even if that's the case, what else can I make for my brother?" Zhai Xing said angrily.

Not to mention that he has no good impression of the Zhao Guan family, even the relationship between Zhai Jin and Liu Zhengyan is impossible to give up.

Zhai Jin was overjoyed after hearing this. This was the first time his elder brother gave in for such a long time.

But isn’t Zhai Xing’s choice a general trend?

He not only for one Zhai Jin, but also for the entire Zhai family.

If the King of Yan restores all the sixteen states of Yanyun, his reputation will surely increase sharply. Once he stabilizes, will he continue to attack and kill the Jurchens in the complex and changing terrain and vast area of ​​the Northeast, or will he turn around and run to Bianliang, and have a stable future first?

That would be self-evident. Everyone knows what choices to make!

Moreover, can the Zhao Guan family in Bianliang City be more powerful than the Jurchens, or can they get the top secret of the thunder in this short period of time?

The war has not yet begun, but the final outcome is already very clear.
Chapter completed!
