"Cao Bin was demoted to General of Youxiaowei, Cui Yanjin was demoted to General of Youwuwei, Mi Xin was demoted to General of Youtunwei, and the rest will be punished according to this," Zhao Kun said.

"What is Cao Bin's crime?" Yin Shili asked with a frown, and Zhao Kun said: "Defying the emperor's orders, you will lose discipline on the battlefield."

Yin Shili sneered: "Zhao Song's officials are really kind to the military generals, and they just disobeyed the emperor's orders. Forget it, what's the matter with your lord sending you here?"

Zhao Kun glanced at Qi Yue and said, "My lord wants to take over young general Qi."

"Lend me what?" Qi Yue suddenly raised his head when he heard his name.

"Zhang Qixian, Mr. Zhang invited himself to be the magistrate of Daizhou, and Pan Mei's deputy Liu Hanyun led the troops, but my lord was worried that this man had already been frightened by the Liao people. Although Mr. Zhang is a civil servant, he is not an ordinary civil servant. He is brave and resourceful. The Liao army has now moved south, and sooner or later Daizhou will be overwhelmed by soldiers, Lord Zhang will definitely take the initiative to attack, and my lord said that he will use Young General Qi at that time." Zhao Kun explained to Qi Yue, and his heart was also kicked, this time What if I can't borrow someone.

Yin Shili was also listening. He thought of Zhang Qixian, who dared to rob Tai | Zu's advice on the road, and became more courageous as he got frustrated. He was indeed not a cowardly character. , When encountering an attack from the Liao army, he will take the initiative to attack.

"I'll go." Qi Yue said decisively, Daizhou used to be Yang Ye's domain, just because of this, no matter what kind of person Zhang Qixian is, he is willing to go.Song Cheng saw that things were already like this, what else could he say?

"When will your lord return to Beijing?" Yin Shili asked again.

"It won't be long, my lord has already written a letter requesting to return to Beijing, and His Majesty's reply is only a few days away. I will go back to Beijing and take care of the affairs of the capital for him." Zhao Kun replied.

Yin Shili took a look at Qi Yue and said to Zhao Kun: "Your lord, don't borrow anything. He will return to Beijing and Zhang Qixian will stay in Daizhou for a while. Don't borrow Qi Yue back together when the time comes. How to explain to this little friend?" He glanced at Song Cheng, and saw that Song Cheng's face was covered with clouds, and he lowered his head and pouted unconsciously to express his dissatisfaction.

Qi Yue reached out and rubbed Song Cheng's head and said, "I will come back well, this time I promise."

"You didn't promise last time?" Song Cheng asked resolutely, blocking Qi Yue from answering him for a moment, and Qi Yue could only look flattering.Song Cheng knew that Qi Yue looked so flattering now, but what he wanted to do in his heart was twisted to death, and he would never change, but seeing his flattering actions, the anger in his heart disappeared for a while. some.

Seeing that everything was explained to him, Zhao Kun got up and was about to leave. It was raining, so Yin Shili stopped him abruptly and said, "You take a rest for a day. Your Majesty wants to save face. Your lord has to go to school twice before returning." Go, you don't have to worry about it for a day or two."

Zhao Kun glared at Yin Shili, he knew that Yin Shili might have hit the mark again, although Yin Shili had no eloquence, but he never made mistakes in what he said.

"Then I'll play with Duo Yu for a while." Zhao Kun got up and said, Duo Yu was happy, and took Zhao Kun's hand and went out.Qi Yue, Song Cheng, and Yin Shili were left in the room for a while, Song Cheng lowered his head and did not speak, Qi Yue also poked Song Cheng like a dull gourd, Song Cheng ignored him.

"Qi Yue, do you really want to fight?" Yin Shili asked, Chenjiakou was killed and wounded in the first battle, Qi Yue was the only survivor, most people would be scared out of their wits after the war, but Qi Yue didn't, he said: " No, I'm holding Yang Yanyu's knife, and the Liao people are not exhausted, so how can I leave."

"What will you do if you meet Wang Yan and his like again?" Yin Shili asked.

"If you disobey the military order, you will be chopped off." Qi Yue said coldly.

"Scared, you are capable." Yin Shili made an expression of admiration, but the corners of his mouth were ironic, "The Song Dynasty established the country by force, and the emperor of the Zhao family was very defensive against the generals. If you dare to kill the supervising army, just wait for the family Let's kill the Nine Clans."

Qi Yue was upset when he heard the words, but he had nothing to say back. Yin Shili's words were true, and he heard Yin Shili say again: "This matter of Yang Ye is not uncommon in Song Dynasty, let me tell you something, you can Do you know the former Yunzhou Observer Guo Jin?"

Song Cheng became excited when he heard these two words, who?Guo Jing?Immediately raised his head, after thinking about it, he realized that he was wrong.

Qi Yue faintly heard it and nodded, Yin Shili said: "Guo Jin's qualifications in the army are not much worse than Pan Mei's, not to mention that he likes to give more than wealth. But he is quite strict in running the army. He had a lot of discord with the supervisor Tian Qinzuo and was very angry. Tian Qinzuo framed Guo Jin for rebellion when he was victorious with the Liao army, and finally forced Guo Jin to commit suicide. Qi Yue, think about it, if At that time, Yang Ye didn't fight, so what was waiting for him? Li Ling in the Han Dynasty would end better than him."

Qi Yue frowned, and did not say a word with a livid face. He is not an illiterate man, so he can understand Yin Shili's words. Yang Ye showed his loyalty by death, so His Majesty gave the Yang family some compensation, but if Yang Ye Ye didn't go to war at that time, what awaited him was the intrigue of courtiers, he was depressed, and he might even ransack his home because of these filthy people.When Yang Ye died on the battlefield, he was benevolent and deserved to die. At least he had no regrets in his heart.

"When Tian Qinzuo forced Guo Jin to death, Wang Yu was watching from the sidelines. Can you guarantee that there will be no next Tian Qinzuo, and the next Wang Yu?" Yin Shili said, "Your qualifications are higher than Pan Mei's. Guo Jin? Both of them are under the supervision of the army, one is dying, and the other is ruined, what can you do?"

"Then what should I do?" Qi Yue blurted out the words, these days he gets along with Yin Shili day and night, and he admires Yin Shili even more.

Yin Shili squinted and smiled at Qi Yue when he heard the words, Qi Yue's heart was full of alarm bells, and Song Cheng was also curious, how to deal with this matter, if it is resolved, at least Qi Yue will not be controlled by others in the future, and he will not be like Guo Jin Yang Ye also ended up like this.

"After helping Zhang Qixian, you come back with a Jinshi examination. At that time, there will be Zhao Pu in the front and Zhang Qixian in the back. You can sit in the Privy Council for him. At that time, apart from His Majesty, you will have the final say on military and state affairs. ?” Yin Shili squinted and smiled like a fox.

Qi Yue: ...

"It's a good way, but the Privy Council is a place for civil servants, and we belong to the Ministry of War." Qi Yue said in embarrassment.

"What's wrong with the civil servants? Zhang Qixian even dared to take the post of Daizhou, and the Yanmen Gate was closed. What are you afraid of?" Yin Shili sighed again, "The Liao and Song Dynasties still have more than [-] years of war to fight, and now the country's livelihood is difficult. In a critical place, there are still a few old generals who follow His Majesty alive, and they can go to the battlefield for a few days, but they may go to Hexi someday. Now the civil servants have become bigger and the military officials have been weaker. Your Majesty said To put it bluntly, it has only been a few years, and the injury on his leg will kill him sooner or later. The eldest son of the emperor, both civil and military, has gone crazy, and His Majesty doesn't care about it. The remaining princes are either deep-minded or cowardly. Yue, the family and the country are in danger."

Yin Shili is used to being sarcastic, but when he did not expect it to happen again, even Song Cheng raised his head. He suddenly remembered that when the Japanese army invaded China, corpses littered the fields after the war. Not now, they invaded each other and suffered heavy casualties, what are the common people guilty of!Once the Liao people set foot on the territory of the Song Dynasty, how would they treat these people?Even if the Liao Kingdom hadn't fought yet, the Song Dynasty had levied miscellaneous taxes year after year, and the people suffered unspeakably. Now that there are many casualties on the battlefield, the army has to conscript again.From where?It was the people who were forced to put down their hoes and go to the battlefield. Such a vicious circle, the people of the Song Dynasty suffered.

"Okay." Qi Yue said suddenly, "When the Liao people retire, I'll go back and take the Jinshi exam."

Song Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, at least Qi Yue didn't have to be on the battlefield every day, and he felt more at ease if he was far away, Song Cheng was really scared.

"Then who are you?" Qi Yue asked suddenly, staring at Yin Shili closely, Qi Yue felt as if he was a pawn in Yin Shili's hand, doing what he wanted to do for him, even though he did these things. He is willing, but he can't act like a fool, he has to know it in his heart.

Yin Shili looked at Qi Yue, the young man was as hot-blooded as he was back then, but the fortitude and fortitude in his eyes was by no means comparable to his. Yin Shili knew that he could not hide Qi Yue from the beginning. But it was too late to regret.

"Guo Jin is my brother." Yin Shili only said five words, even if he didn't prove who he was, and didn't explain the past, but Qi Yue and Song Cheng believed it, and never asked again after that.

Song Cheng was unhappy, how could Qi Yue not know, but he had no choice, from the moment he joined the army, he could no longer let go of this burden.

It was getting cooler outside in the afternoon, so Qi Yue abducted Song Cheng out. Song Cheng didn't want to talk to him at first, but Qi Yue and Yin Shili still had things to do, and he had to go back to Bianjing. The journey would take two months. If he didn't Going back, I am afraid that Cui Pingzhi will have to come to the border to find someone.

Qi Yue took Song Cheng's hand and walked for quite a while, finally turned to a deserted place, the frontier was full of loess at a glance, a few patches of green were sparse, and he was not energetic.Qi Yue's hands were already covered with calluses, and the palm lines were extremely rough. His big hands completely wrapped Song Cheng's hands in their palms. The two of them didn't speak during the journey, but their hearts were very sweet.

"Cheng, don't be upset." Qi Yue shook Song Cheng's hand flatteringly, Song Cheng hummed but didn't speak, Qi Yue shook his hand again, Song Cheng still didn't respond, Qi Yue stretched out his hand and Qi Yue grabbed Song Cheng's arms from behind, leaned his head on Song Cheng's shoulder and said, "Cheng, I have agreed with Brother Zhao that he can take you with him when he returns to Bianjing tomorrow. There is a guide on your way, and I will take care of you." You can also rest assured. Also, you can’t run out so impulsively in the future, you see the flames of war are raging outside, if you bump into the Liao soldiers, wouldn’t you want to be captured by them?”

"I—" Song Cheng was about to refute, when he heard Qi Yue say: "Huh?" Song Cheng was scared on the spot, but he also knew how dangerous it would be for him to come out alone, if he hadn't met Yin Shili, he might have died with Qi Yue In Chenjiakou.

"After you go back, open your library well, and help me see my mother, and wait for my master to come back." Qi Yue said in Song Cheng's ear.

As soon as Song Cheng heard the two words back, he immediately turned around: "Really?"

Qi Yue originally hugged Song Cheng from behind, but when Song Cheng turned around, he was facing each other face to face. Song Cheng hadn't grown up yet, and the top of his head just touched the tip of Qi Yue's nose. Qi Yue reached out to trim Song Cheng's hair and said, "Well, gentleman Make a promise."
