Chapter Seventy-Nine: No One Will Turn Their Back on You
"Yesterday's military newspaper from the Privy Council reads operational instructions......"
After entering the study, Zeng Bu first called the maid to pour tea for Tang Ning. After pouring a cup of tea, Zeng Bu raised his hand at the maid and motioned for her to stand down.
After she went out and closed the door, Zeng Bucai took a slow sip of tea and said, "The matter of the military newspaper is right, let's say, what's wrong?" ”
Tang Ning rubbed his hands and said: "Maybe it's Tang's misunderstanding, but the troop movement shown on the military report seems to be all the troops except for the town, and all the troops are still moving......
Speaking of this, Tang Ning looked up at Zeng Bu. Seeing that Zeng Bu was bowing his head and drinking tea, he continued: "I don't know if this is the arrangement of the Privy Council, or the mistake of the Privy Council, who failed to send all the transfer information to Tang Mou?" ”
Zeng Bu put down the teacup, shook his head with a smile and said, "Tang Ning, Tang Ning, you are becoming more and more careful when you speak now." ”
Tang Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "How can Zeng Shumi say this?" ”
"Before that, you wouldn't come to the old man's house to find the old man, you would just go to the Privy Council with a fierce man, and then slap the table and ask the old man what is going on."
"It seems that Zeng's secret secretary has a misunderstanding of Tang."
Zeng Bu waved his hand: "If you misunderstand or not, I'll talk about it later." The old man will answer your question first......" Speaking of this, Zeng Bu put down the teacup, changed to a more serious sitting posture and said: "There is nothing wrong with the military report of the Privy Council, and it is not missing for you.
In fact, such is the arrangement of the Privy Council.
You take the town with you and toss it as much as you want, and the greatest support of the Privy Council for you is that you should not lack your armaments, materials, and food and grass. ”
Downing blinked: "I...... I didn't quite understand. ”
Zeng Bu pursed his lips, squinted at Tang Ning and said, "You don't think that what you did in the state is no longer remembered, right?"
Not counting this, the envoy of the Liao State fled back to Datong Mansion in a hurry under your threat, do you think this account has also been turned over?
When an ally is fighting against the enemy, it is still treacherous to take the opportunity to go to the enemy's home and seize the land, even if the land belongs to us.
Boy, you know what? The old man actually admires your courage, at least in our group, only you are really willing to do things and dare to do things.
But even then, you should not launch a direct offensive in the state. It's too risky, and it's disgraceful.
Maybe someone will approve of your choice, but in the old man's case, no. ”
Zeng Bu said this, looked Tang Ning up and down, and said: "If it weren't for the efforts of the official family to maneuver around, boy, the old man should have seen you in the prison of the Criminal Department by now and continued to lead the troops to fight?" ”
Zeng Bu sneered: "Then be ready to fight alone, because."
No one dares to give their back to you. ”
“……”
The meeting with Zeng Bu ended unhappily, and Tang Ning sat in the carriage with a gloomy expression. I thought that after such a long time, these people had already negotiated, but now it seems that all this is a superficial peace achieved with Zhao Xu's efforts.
Although Zeng Bu's relationship with himself was not good before, it was not to the point where he would ridicule himself like he is now. It can be seen that his behavior of fighting the Liao army in the state really made this old man or a group of people represented by Zeng Bu very popular.
Zhang appreciates himself and encourages himself. But Zeng Bu despised and even spurned himself, knowing that the two belonged to the same New Party.
It's really ironic, the internal divisions of the same camp are so violent, no wonder it is said that in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court had rotted to the roots.
Either way, no matter what. In that case, don't blame yourself for being unscrupulous. As long as you can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and complete the agreement with Zhao Xu, what kind of general on this dog day, this angry Hou Ye, who loves whoever you love, Lao Tzu will not play with you.
After a few more days, it was finally the day of Downing's departure. There was nothing unprecedented, and the people didn't even know that Tangning was going to set off on this day.
More than a dozen people rode horses, and when the morning sun did not rise, they left the Danyang Marquis Mansion. The only ones who came out to send them off were their families.
Pei Xiantong really wanted to go with Tang Ning, she was about to go crazy. But Downing gave her a more important task, which was to protect the peace of the house.
After receiving the news of the accident, the Danyang Dart Bureau in Runzhou sent a full thirty good players to Tokyo City overnight. Now that they are still on the road, the safety of their families will depend on Pei Xiantong's top combat power.
With her, Tang Ning can feel much more at ease outside.
An army has been arresting Pei Xiantong for nearly a year, how much ability does the White Lotus Society have to stop Pei Xiantong?
Coming to Ming, they are naturally not Pei Xiantong's opponents, playing dark, the two former assassins, Qi Xianyu and Qiao Chu are not vegetarians, not to mention the ancestral players of Yin people like Wu Desi.
Since Tang Ning was transferred back, the town was transferred by the Privy Council to the border pass on Hebei East Road to standby.
The envoy of the Liao State returned to Datong Mansion with the money, bringing a huge amount of financial revenue, and at the same time, it also made the Liao State completely lose any nominal and de facto control of the eight states in the east of Yanyun.
However, in the same way, the Liao State will no longer be as gullible as the Song State before.
Even though the war with the Jin State made their troops tight, they still deployed 300,000 heavy troops in the eight states west of Yanyun to guard against the possible invasion of the Song State.
Therefore, people like Zeng Bu have a considerable degree of resistance to the proposal to continue to recover Yanyun.
Success or not, the Song army and the Liao army are there
There will always be a battle in the land of the eight states in the west of Yanyun, which may be won by the Song army or by the Liao army.
However, no matter who wins in the end, both sides will always lose a lot.
No one will question the ability of the town to kill the enemy, and no one will doubt the hard-hearted heart of the Liao army.
If it weren't for Zhao Xu's insistence on advocating this matter, Zeng Bu would not have wanted to see the scene of the two countries of Song and Liao forming a blood feud again after a hundred years of peace.
Zhao, Shen Qian received the news a few days before Tang Ning arrived on Hebei East Road. The Knights of the Red Feather of the Privy Council changed horses at the post station along the way, unlike the Downings, who always had to set aside some time to recuperate their horses, even if they could not rest.
All in all, after months of standing still here in Hedong, the whole town began to be restless. After each day's training, they started talking about Downing.
Some of them felt that Downing was too extreme in his state affairs, while others thought that there was nothing wrong with Downing doing so.
Otherwise, do you want to watch those Han compatriots being killed one by one by the pigtailed Khitans?
When a small group of people heard this, they looked at the questioning person with an ambiguous look, and they knew very well what the method of their lord was most favorable.
So the town was divided into several parts during these months, not from the point of view of functional attribution, but completely from point of view, just like the old and the new party.
Zhao and Shenqian had no clue how to deal with this kind of thing, and the best way for the two to come up with after some deliberation was to punish the sergeants who had messy ideas.
But doing so is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, which is exactly what the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Even though the two of them established a new strict military law, they still failed to completely eradicate this matter in the end. The two of them were completely helpless, and now that they heard that Tang Ning was coming back, the two almost hugged each other excitedly.
At night, beside a bonfire in the town's military camp, the shirtless little stone looked at the sky that had not yet completely darkened and said, "It looks like it is going to rain tomorrow." ”
Fang La sat beside him, rubbed his hands and said, "The head of the family should come back tomorrow." ”
"Do you think we can continue to fight?" Xiao Shi leaned against the hill where a few bags of grain were stacked and asked, "I haven't been able to stay in one place honestly for so many years, how old are you this year?" It's more than twenty, right?
I'm twenty-four, and I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet. You know, that bastard is two years older than me, and his kids are almost up to my waist...... Do you know who he married? ”
Fang La picked up the broken skin on his other hand with his fingernails, pulled it down, and asked casually, "Who?" ”
"Xiaoqing, it's Madame's maid." Little Stone smiled maliciously......
