Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo City. Even though the army in the north was already fighting the Jurchens, it was still prosperous. The people walking on the street were not talking about whether the Song army would be victorious or defeated, but what they should eat at night.

Tang Ning and Zhang Jingming came back very low-key, and even except for some people, other people didn't know that Tang Ning had come back from Runzhou.

Seeing Liu Ling's shoehorn face, Tang Ning wanted to punch it, this bastard really had the face to appear in front of him again.

There is a pavilion ten miles outside the city, and the weeping willows are still on the side of the pavilion. The man in Chinese clothes was playing chess with others, and Liu Ling leaned on the pillar of the pavilion and looked at Tang Ning with his eyes.

Needless to say, the man in the fancy costume is Zhao Ji. It was none other than the cunning Cai Jing who played chess with him.

"Your Majesty's chess skills are exquisite, and it was the old minister who lost." Cai Jing caught a glimpse of Tang Ning getting off the horse, so he threw the son away, and said happily and convincingly.

It's not that he plays emotional intelligence, Zhao Ji does have a hand in playing chess.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, as long as the emperor should not be proficient, he is very proficient......

"Hehe, Cai Xiang, your chess skills are not good, you still need to practice!" Zhao Ji didn't look at Tang Ning, who was standing aside and fighting with Liu Ling with his eyes, and said to Cai Jing with a smile.

Cai Jing scratched his head and smiled: "Even if the old minister practices hard, he can't get down to Your Majesty." ”

"Hahahaha......" Zhao Ji laughed heartily.

After laughing for a long time, he seemed to have just noticed Tang Ning, turned his head and said in surprise: "Ah, isn't this Danyang Hou?" When did you come? Sit down, sit down!

Zhang Qing, you also sit. ”

Tang Ning smiled: "Weichen also arrived just now. With that, he sat down on a stone bench beside him.

The palace maid who came out of the palace with Zhao Ji was dressed as a maid, poured a cup of tea for Tang Ning and Zhang Jingming, and then retreated.

"Oh, Danyang Hou, it seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Yes, the last time I met Your Majesty was five years ago, and I really remember it when I think about it now."

"Me too, Danyang Hou, you put the crown on the table, and the appearance of leaving in a chic way also makes me remember it vividly."

Zhao Ji began to say strange things and disgusting people, and this move once again refreshed Tang Ning's perception of Zhao Ji's cautious eyes.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Ning's reply should be: "Oh, it was Wechen who was young and frivolous, and I really couldn't stand Your Majesty, if Your Majesty could give Wechen a chance to reform himself, it would be great......"

But it was obvious that Tang Ning couldn't do this, because the current situation was not that he was begging Zhao Ji to let him come back, but that Zhao Ji was begging him.

Of course, this is not entirely true, in a word, it should be Tangning who should take the initiative now.

Therefore, Tang Ning just grinned at Zhao Ji, revealing his white teeth.

Cai Jing laughed secretly in his stomach and didn't say a word.

If it were someone else, he would still say a few words to him, but the more embarrassing the scene is, the more Zhao Ji can't get off the stage. According to Zhao Ji's careful eyes, it will be difficult for him not to remember this for the rest of his life.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji was very unhappy.

But it's useless for him to be unhappy, and now it's really time to use Downing.

Coughing, Zhao Ji said to Tang Ning: "Without further ado, let's get down to business." ”

“……”

…………………………

Spring in Huining Mansion still doesn't have much warmth, but for the Jurchens, this level of cold is really trivial.

The farther north it goes, it's colder, and although it's a little colder this year than last year, their country has carved out a large area of land in the south. If you can't live here, you can go to the south.

Wanyan Aguda seemed to have a cold, and his nasal voice was very strong. But the Jurchens' treatment of colds was also very rude, that is, drinking.

A merchant brought a kind of wine from the Song Dynasty, and Wanyan Aguta liked it very much. This wine is very strong, and it is a thrill after taking a sip.

"Your Majesty!"

Just as Wanyan Aguda was drinking in the company of his concubine, the guards outside suddenly walked in: "Your Majesty, the secret spy has sent new information!" It is said to be very urgent, Your Majesty, please read it! ”

"Oh?" After Yan Agu inquired, he waved his hand to dismiss the surrounding concubines, and as a result, the letter was opened and read word by word.

Halfway through this, he frowned sharply. After reading it, even he couldn't help but say: "Is the news reliable?" ”

"Unmistakable!"

After hearing this, Wanyan Aguda immediately stood up. His expression was grim, but there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes: "Finally, there is someone who can compete with the real one!" ”

After that, he summoned his attendants and instructed: "Let them hurry up and make gunpowder, and before long there will be a battle." ”

At the same time, in the Liao court of Datong Mansion, Xiao Fengxian was also staring at Yelu Yanxi.

"It can't be true, right?"

"It's really true." Xiao Feng licked his lips first: "That guy is back again......"

As long as you are born in this world, you have more or less heard the name of a person.

Tang Ning, the founding marquis of Danyang County of the Great Song Dynasty.

When the Song people heard about him, it was mostly because he pacified the bandits in all directions, wiped out Jiaozhi, and recovered half of Yanyun.

And when the Liao and Jin people heard about him, most of them came from their own nightmares, or from the mouths of soldiers who were lucky enough to escape.

In this season of spring, everything is full of life. And this man who is destined to reap his life reappeared on the big stage between heaven and earth this spring.

……………………

Tokyo City, inside the Imperial Palace. Zhao Ji stood on the east side, facing west. Downing stood on the south side, facing north.

Zhao Ji held the head of Yue in his hand, handed the grip to Tang Ning, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, the one who goes up to the sky will be controlled by the general." ”

Tang Ning respectfully held it with both hands.

Zhao Ji grabbed the handle of Yue again, handed the blade to Tang Ning, and said in a deep voice again: "From now on, those who go down to the abyss will be controlled by generals." ”

Then Zhao Ji held the head of the Yue and the tail of the Yue with two hands, and said impassionedly: "If you see it, you will advance, and if you see the truth, you will stop."

Don't underestimate the enemy with the crowd of the three armies, don't die because of the weight of the order, don't be cheap because you're noble, don't disobey the crowd with your own opinions, and don't take arguments as inevitable.

Don't sit if you don't sit, don't eat if you don't eat, and the cold and heat will be the same.

In this way, the people will do their best. ”

Tang Ning was deeply bored by this, Zhao Xu had never done this before.

He sent himself on the expedition, that is, the day before or a month in advance, he told himself that he had work to prepare, and then Tang Ning had to run to prepare.

On that day, he ordered the people to go where they went, and carried out a grand ceremony of worshipping the generals in the Taimiao like now, to be honest, it was the first time for him.

But when he thought about it, he was relieved, he used to lead an army of fifty or sixty thousand people at most, but this time it was different.

Zhao Ji made a big deal this time, and he assigned a total of 200,000 troops to himself on Jingnan Sixth Road, Jingxi Third Road, and Ninth Road.

And this time he is not a shabby commander, and his name is scary to say - the generalissimo of the Nine Routes.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning smiled secretly in his heart.

Although Zhao Ji didn't seem to care much on the surface, he was panicking to death in his heart.

The threat of the rebels was something he had felt, and if it weren't for Wu Desi's strength, his head would have fallen off three years ago.

And there is also the overwhelming Jin Army, in the past two years, they have somehow mastered gunpowder. The Song army, which was caught off guard, was defeated all the way, but fortunately, the Jin army did not focus on the Song State, they cared more about the land of the Liao State.

The two threats were sandwiched together, and Zhao Ji had to admit it.

"Ministers and ministers cannot rule the country from outside, and the army cannot be ruled from the middle.

You can't be a gentleman with two hearts, and you can't be suspicious of the enemy.

Since the minister was ordered, the power of the axe, the minister did not dare to survive, and I hope that the king will also give a word to the minister. The king does not allow the ministers, and the ministers dare not general. ”

Tang Ning read out this line that he had memorized a long time ago.

From the beginning, the conversation between the two of them was a standardized line to be said when worshipping the general, along the lines, 'I will give you the power of life and death, but you also have to respect yourself.'"

And you don't underestimate the enemy, don't rush to death, don't despise others with your own identity, don't impose your ideas on others, don't be stubborn, and share weal and woe with the soldiers. ’

Then Tang Ning's reply was, 'Since Your Majesty has given me so much power, then I will not dare to have two hearts, and I will definitely repay the country with death.'

But I have a request, if you want to give me power, you can give me full power to dispose of it, or this will not do me properly. ’

Zhao Ji said: "Good. ”

And so the ceremony ended.

After all, but presumably both of them have ghosts in their hearts, and they each have another line in their stomachs.

The next thing is to go to Zhao Ji's palace to have a banquet, but Tang Ning is too lazy to go, and Zhao Ji is not willing to entertain him, so the two hit it off and parted ways on the spot.

After a month, when the army has been assembled, it is necessary to set out immediately......
