Return to the Song Dynasty

"Pfft~" Chen Canjun, who was as quiet as a chicken at the side, was shocked by Zhao Man's sudden evil expression, his scalp was numb, and he sprayed all the tea on the ground, his posture was so indecent...

With a beautiful beard, Chen Canjun, who always claimed to be romantic, wiped his beard silently, and looked at Mr. Zhang, who had been coughing for a long time.

Chen Canjun: Well, what I mentioned to you last time was that I want to match my little girl and Xiaoman, why don't we take it easy?

Zhang Wei: ...Well, don't worry, this kid is too jumpy, he needs to hone his skills.

Zhao Man, who managed to scare the No. [-] and No. [-] people on Jingyuan Road, was still secretly proud of himself, but he didn't know that because of his convulsive behavior, he had lost a good relationship for no reason.

Afterwards, Zhao Bi unexpectedly ascended to the throne, became a great treasure, and made great efforts to govern, becoming the overlord of the generation that guided the revival of the Great Song Dynasty.The former Chen Canjun, who succeeded Zhang Yu as the new envoy of Jingyuan Road, got drunk for the first time at the farewell banquet for the old leader, grabbed the hand of the retired Mr. Zhang, and said: "You say , Why didn’t I set him up first? Regret it! I’m called Xiao Zhuge in vain!” After speaking, he slapped his thigh angrily.The officials present were dumbfounded.Isn't Chen Xianggong always known for his gentleness and strategizing?How did it change?

Old Mr. Zhang laughed unkindly, and patted Chen Canjun's shoulder hard, and whispered in his ear in a very small voice: "You, you just don't have the life to be the head of the country, don't be blind!" I miss you." After finishing speaking, he casually glanced at the new Duqian Yuehe who was drinking and Zhengxi...

"This is Pingxia City! Pingxia! Pingxia! This name is really exciting." Zhao Man sighed whitely while looking at the plaque at the gate of the city and expressing emotion.

"What's wrong with Ping Xia?" Yue He asked slowly as usual, scratching his head.

"Brother, Ping Xia is the one who smashed Xi Xia!" Zhao Man hated that iron could not be made into steel.

"Ah~ that's what it means! It's good, it's good! This name is really well chosen!" Yue He praised it belatedly.

Zhao Man was speechless looking at the sky exhausted, and suddenly remembered the days when he was on the road with Yue Cheng and Yue He. He was laughing and joking around like this.Recalling this, Zhao Man couldn't help feeling sad, and his joyful mood calmed down instantly.He reached out to brush off the snowflakes falling on his head, looked at the vast gray sky with snowflakes, took a deep breath, and let the dry and cold air from the northwest fill his chest cavity.

'Brother, where are you?Is it still lingering in the world?Are you watching us from heaven? Zhao Man raised his head, looked up at the vast sky, let the snowflakes fall on his face... Zhao Man was still sad when he heard a burst of iconic shouts like broken gongs: "What are you doing? What are you doing? It’s as if I’ve never seen snow before!”

The voice was so sudden and penetrating that Zhao Man was startled. When he looked forward, it was indeed Guo Cheng.

"What are you shouting for? I was urged to come here by you, so I can't enjoy the scenery of Pingxia City?" Zhao Man narrowed his eyes slowly and glanced at Guo Cheng.

This glance made Guo Cheng's heart instantly ring with alarm.Through such a long time of contact, Guo Cheng has already deeply realized that Zhao Man and Zhao Canjun are people who are absolutely not easy to mess with, but he is more poisonous than Chen Canjun, ah, ah no, he is still shrewd.This is strongly requested by myself to be sent here to defend the city, don't you want to?Guo Cheng looked at Zhao Man, he didn't look like him either.

Guo Chengli rode forward flatteringly, and said to Zhao Man and Yue He with a little embarrassment: "Well, you have worked hard all the way. We have prepared good wine and food. Let's enter the city to be warm and have a good meal." Rice ha."

"It's okay, let's not be busy eating. We have brought a new batch of rockets, fire bombs, and the improved model that has just been completed. You first arrange people to put them in a reliable place, and we will then Arrange for training." Zhao Man approached Guo Cheng and whispered.

When Guo Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. This was a surprise. Not only did people come, but they also brought new weapons!Moreover, Mr. Zhang also bought one and got one free, asking Yue He to personally escort Zhao Man to come, which is to add another general to himself!Guo Cheng, who was still apprehensive about the upcoming battle, calmed down instantly.With military advisers, generals and weapons, I'm still afraid of a hair!I still have a large group of cavalry who didn't play!hum!

The originally tense and gloomy atmosphere in Pingxia City eased a lot with the new group of people.But the sense of sight of the approaching war still makes people unavoidably nervous and excited.

The cavalry had been trained early in the morning, and they were all gearing up, waiting for the Xixia people to come over, and they would do a big job to get rid of their humiliation.In addition, Zhao Man also equipped the pistol with an improved pistol specially made in a rush, which has greatly improved the range and accuracy. In addition, Mr. Zhang specially added the bed crossbow. It is as powerful as a cannon!

Heavy hammers, armors and other weapons and equipment produced by the munitions factory have already arrived in Pingxia City.The soldiers put on newly-made armors and took up weapons at hand, and their fighting enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.Not to mention the food and grass materials piled up in the barn are enough to last for a year, which is very reassuring.fight?We are not afraid!Waiting for the barbarians of Xixia to throw themselves into the trap!

The soldiers and civilians of Pingxia City have always maintained a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside, meticulously completing various training and tasks assigned by the chief, making final preparations for the upcoming war.Zhao Man has arranged a lot of things, so he has time to catch his breath.Zhao Man, who has been busy with military affairs recently, didn't take care of a good meal, so he slipped into the kitchen looking for familiar dishes.

Before it was time to prepare meals, the gang leaders also went to practice. After all, being a soldier is their job, and everyone is still very professional.Zhao Man wandered around in the kitchen, looking for something delicious, but the brothers here were too good to eat, and there was nothing left, so it took a long time to find half a bowl of fried cabbage slices. There are still leftover cabbage gangzi.

'Let's forget it, don't eat.Alas~' Zhao Man sighed helplessly, and was about to leave.Suddenly the sound of "cluck, cluck" attracted Zhao Man's attention. 'What the hell? 'Although he was nearly twenty years old, Zhao Man, who was still full of curiosity, searched for the sound and walked over.

"Yo Hou, are these pheasants?" Zhao Man unexpectedly found a pair of pheasants with their paws bound in the corner next to the stove, and it seemed that someone had killed them.But is this food good or not? Zhao Man, a picky eater, naturally doesn't have any thoughts on the pheasant with less meat and less wood.

"But...hehehe" Zhao Man held his chin and looked at the pheasants for a while, then walked towards them with a wicked smile.Seeing Zhao Man's malicious smile, the two poor pheasants with their feet bound shivered in fright, and let out a series of "cluck, cluck... cluck~...", the more the last, The more miserable the cry...

When Zhao Man hummed a little song and left contentedly, the soldiers who came back from training were surprised to find that the two pheasants were lying on the ground half dead and humming, all the hair on their buttocks disappeared. There are two naked butts left (⊙o⊙)...

On the upper floor of the city gate not long after the completion of Pingxia City, Zhao Man proudly shook his feather fan, 'Well, this feels right!Zhuge Liang's feeling!Really touching! 'The feathers on the fan are colorful and gorgeous, just, no matter how you look at them, they look a little like, like pheasant feathers?

(Zhuge Kongming of the Lufan Lunjin is furious: The old man’s lufan is made of crane tail feathers, only black and white, and looks elegant and elegant. How have you ever used such a coquettish and unseemly idiot?!!)

Guo Cheng: ...

Yue He took a step back silently, avoiding the range of Zhao Man's fan: Xiao Man, fanning in the cold winter months makes my brother feel cold!

Guo Cheng silently felt that it was a little thoughtless when he asked Zhao Man to come to help out by name?

However, before he could figure out why, he was attracted by a staggering little figure.Guo Cheng is a well-known sharpshooter in the Western Army. He not only has strong arms, but also has excellent eyesight.Even though there was still a lot of snow and fog floating in the sky, Guo Cheng still keenly noticed the unusual movement in the forest. "I found an enemy situation in the mountains, and sent an order to go down to take emergency precautions." Guo Cheng immediately gave the order, but felt that something was wrong.

Zhao Man and Yue He also looked in the direction Guo Cheng pointed, and they found a small figure that was getting closer and closer to the city gate.Several people did not dare to act rashly, they were all speculating whether the Xixia people were going to do some tricks again.Just as he was hesitating, the little shadow suddenly sped up, as if on a stimulant, flew to the gate of the city, and shouted.

It was snowing, and the north wind was blowing. The shouts of the people below were too low, and the wind was strong, so they couldn't hear clearly from the tower.Still the soldiers guarding the gate ran up to report: The person who came claimed to be a Han Chinese surnamed Han, and came here to report a letter, saying that there was a major military report.

Zhao Man stood on the gate tower and moved a bit. Looking down carefully, he found that the figure below was slightly smaller, and looked like an underage child.It was freezing cold, and the small figure shrank, squatting outside the city gate, extremely pitiful.

Zhao Man looked back at Guo Cheng.Guo Cheng also felt that it was unlikely that the Xixia army was playing tricks. The Xixia army was not found for several miles, and it was very likely that they really came to report the news.In case there is really a major military situation, there should be no delay.The two immediately made a decision to bring the person in first.

Zhao Man squinted his eyes: "It's a mule or a horse coming out for a walk." "Guo Cheng and Yue He are very relieved, with Xiao Man around, ordinary tricks will definitely not fool us.

"Don't worry, just take your time, eat something to keep warm." Zhao Man and the others sat in the side hall, looking at the skinny young man in ragged clothes.Scars all over the young man's body, through the clothes full of holes, appeared on the frozen blue skin, it was very glaring and made people feel pity.

Especially Zhao Man, who was controlled by children, was even more troubled. He didn't ask anything, so he hurriedly asked people to bring hot water and food to the boy's stomach first, and ordered people to fetch cotton clothes, and put them on the boy first. To keep out the cold.Zhao Man is not blindly acting emotionally, but he feels that no matter whether this person is a friend or an enemy, giving him a hot meal or a cotton coat will not affect the overall situation.

What surprised Zhao Man and others was that the boy, who was obviously hungry and cold, did not pounce on the steaming meal just served, but tightly wrapped his cotton padded clothes with his small black hands, and carefully looked at the furnishings of the room. Sitting opposite Zhao Man, Guo Cheng and Yue He.

"Which one of you has the final say?" The young man stared at the three of them with big eyes shining like stars, and his eyes wandered back and forth on the three of them. Heibuliuqiu's unrecognizable face was full of doubts. He hesitated for a while, and finally asked.

"Pfft..." Guo Cheng couldn't bear it at first, smiled, and looked at the young man's thin body: "What's the matter? Do you still want to assassinate the general?" In fact, Guo Cheng also knew that the boy had already been searched before he was brought here. The short knife he was carrying had also been temporarily handed over to the soldiers for safekeeping, and he did not have any weapons on him.He also just casually said something interesting, and he could also take a look at the boy's reaction and get to the bottom of it.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." The young man was afraid that he would be misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.

"It's okay to tell you. I'm the military advisor of Pingxia City. If you have something to say, you can speak up." Zhao Man saw that the boy's anxious expression did not seem to be fake, so he took the initiative to introduce himself, so that the boy could speak at ease.But he deliberately didn't mention Guo Cheng and Yue He, after all, he didn't know the purpose of this person for a while.

"Well, that's good, let me tell you." The young man stared at Zhao Man for a long time, and felt that this man really looked like the military adviser sung in the opera, especially because he was holding a feather fan in his hand. It can be like Zhuge Liang sung in the opera. (Zhao Man: As witty as I am! The young man has vision!)

"It's my uncle who said that this keepsake should be handed over to the person who has the final say, so you can trust me." The boy said, very preciously took out a small wooden plaque from his chest, held it carefully and handed it to Zhao Man.With trembling fingers, Zhao Man took the familiar wooden sign from the young man's hand.

Guo Cheng and Yue He who were in the same room were also a little uneasy.There is no other reason. This kind of wooden plaque is exactly the waist plaque issued by the Song Army to the generals, with the names and positions of the generals engraved on it.Whose badge is this?And why did it appear in the hands of a young man?
