"Do you have a favorite girl?"

“…… Yes. ”

"Oh, where are the people? Can I let my sister see her now? How old are you? Who is Daddy? Did my sister know her? ”

"......" Qi Fu was dizzy from a series of questions, and Tang Ning, who was drinking tea on the side, almost squirted out.

Qi Xianyu grabbed her daughter's two little hands, looked at Tang Ning with dissatisfaction, and said, "What are you doing?" Do you have anything else to say?

I have already asked you to help Ah Fu find a daughter-in-law, how long has it been before there has been some movement. What have you been doing all these years? Are you embarrassed to make a move here now? ”

Qi Xianyu rubbed his eyes as he spoke, and said in a mournful voice: "If our old Qi family is extinct, I won't let you go!" ”

“……”

“……”

Qi Fu and Tang Ning glanced at each other, and pulled the corners of their mouths helplessly.

It's not that Tang Ning didn't do this, but for the past four or five years, both of them were fighting against the party members in the northwest, and they couldn't get out of it at all.

finally came back from the battle, and returned directly to Kaifeng.

Qi Fu's favorite person is the senior sister of the Taoist Temple of Yinling Mountain. If you don't go to Chuzhou again, how can this thing be done?

originally wanted to give Qi Fu a holiday and let him go to Chuzhou to bring the girl back.

But Zhao Xu sent himself to prepare to attack Jiaozhi, and he set off a month later. With such a toss, Qi Fu didn't have time to go to Chuzhou to marry the senior sister of Yinlingguan.

"I can't help it, I've been fighting before. When I came back from the battle, I didn't go to Chuzhou, but went back to Kaifeng directly. I had the intention to let Ah Fu go to Chuzhou to handle the marriage, but the official said that he wanted me to go to Jiaozhi, and said that he would leave in a month.

In a month, the preparation work may not be completed, and it is the time to be busy. It's been delayed by going back and forth......"

When Tang Ning said this, he saw Qi Xianyu's willow eyebrows upside down, and he was about to scold, so he hurriedly said: "But you don't have to worry, this time the marching route will pass through Chuzhou, and it is just right to do things when you fall, so as not to worry about you in your heart." ”

When Qi Xianyu heard this, his two eyebrows were lowered, and he snorted: "If my brother and sister haven't come over a month after you leave, you see how I clean you up."

I'm just chasing after Cochin, and I'm going to clean you two up!" ”

“……”

Qi Xianyu reminded again: "Also, don't forget your own affairs, people are still waiting for you over there." ”

Tang Ning agreed with a sullen head, and Qi Fu asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, what else do you have in Chuzhou?" ”

"Why do you care so much?" Tang Ning rolled his eyes: "You still have a lot of things to do." ”

“……”

After playing with his daughter for a while, Tang Ning left the room and went to the study

。

Li Zi was grinding ink for Tang Ning with a smile on his face, but Tang Ning was a little frightened.

After all, what happened here last time was actually too easy to make people feel psychological, and when he turned around, Li Zi, who was standing behind him, was holding a rope and was about to put it around his neck, which made Tang Ning have a nightmare for two days before he was relieved.

Seeing that Tang Ning was very nervous, Li Zi was angry and funny: "What are you so afraid of, I won't eat you." ”

Tang Ningxin said that your performance in the past two nights is not to say that you want to eat me, you just said that you want to make me into meat sauce, I believe it. In the past two days, my hands and feet have been weak, and my body is weak, all thanks to you.

But this must not be able to be said, so Tang Ning pulled the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and continued to look at the battle plan sent by the Privy Council.

Because the experiment is not over, it is impossible to determine whether Downing's method is feasible or not. Therefore, the Privy Council temporarily tacitly assumed that Downing's method was feasible, and after ruling out the effects of diarrhea and miasma, three battle plans were preliminarily drawn up for Downing's reference.

One of them is mainly based on the sailors, attacking Jiaozhi from the waterway.

The other two are inclined to the army, but one of them means to send the navy directly to the sea first, attacking the coastal towns of Cochin to attract the attention of the Cochin army.

Then let the army led by Tang Ning take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and surprise attack Thang Long Mansion.

It's a good plan, and it looks very feasible. But the Privy Council overlooked one point, and that was the combat effectiveness of the sailors on both sides.

The official sailor of the Great Song Dynasty was not as strong as imagined. When Jiaozhi attacked Yong and Qin, it was the waterway and the river.

However, the Song Army's naval division could be said to have collapsed at the touch of a touch after encountering the Jiaozhi naval division on the river, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not on the same level at all.

Therefore, sending sailors to attack the coastal towns of Cochin, which sounds feasible, is actually a joke. It is estimated that he has just reached the halfway point, and he will be beaten by the sailor sent by Jiaozhi and flee in embarrassment.

The Jiaozhi soldiers of Thang Long Province didn't have to move at all.

That being said, the program isn't all that nutritious.

In this plan, Downing saw another possibility.

In this era, when it comes to Cochin, it is impossible not to mention his lovely neighbor Champong.

In the eighth year of Xining (1075), the Song and Yue wars broke out, and at the beginning the Song Dynasty suffered a lot, and after the city was broken in Yongzhou for 42 days, the number of Song people slaughtered by the Vietnamese in the Song Dynasty reached 100,000.

Yongzhou City was also demolished for a time to fill the Yongjiang River.

It was not until the following year, after Guo Kui defeated the Vietnamese army at the Phu Liang River, beheaded the Vietnamese prince Hong Zhen and the prince Chao Vence, and captured the Zuo Lang general Nguyen Gen, that the two sides cerated.

The reason for the truce was that the Song army was plagued at that time, and half of the Song army was killed by the epidemic.

The Vietnamese side was also feared by the ferocity of the Song army's offensive, and at the same time their rear was overshadowed by Chenla,

Under the attack on Champa and the enemy's back, Vietnam chose to sue for a truce against the Song Dynasty, the most powerful of the three.

After that, Vietnam switched hands to the Champa state. Where did the occupation state fight Jiaozhi, and had no choice but to return the occupied territory in exchange for peace.

However, there is still frequent friction between the two countries, and both sides have been bleeding and sweating for territory for generations, and it is already an irresolvable blood feud.

When Tang Ning knew this, he naturally had a plan in his heart. Since the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty are unreliable, why not let the Champa State cooperate?

With the help of the Champa state, the attention of the people of Jiaozhi will definitely be attracted to the side of the Champong, right? If you take this opportunity to smash the Shenglong Mansion directly, won't it have the same effect?

By the way, the rice mainly planted in the Great Song Dynasty today is still imported from Champa. This time, if you can help Zhancheng grab some places by the way, it can be regarded as repaying their kindness.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning picked up his pen and began to write excerpts. Report all aspects of your consideration to the Privy Council.

Zeng Bu is a very shrewd person, and after seeing his excerpts, he will definitely consider them carefully.

Although today is a day off, Zeng Bu did not rest, and still got up early to come to the Privy Council to deal with official business.

Suddenly, a clerk brought Tang Ning's fold up, and after Zeng Bu read it carefully, he began to smile helplessly.

It's not that no one has thought of this method, but since the truce of the war in the eighth year of Xining, Zhancheng has not been so friendly to the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, after the armistice, when Jiaozhi went to war with Champa again, the Great Song Dynasty did not provide decent help.

Perhaps this was in the minds of the king of Champong, and the tribute was still the same, but the quality was not as good as before.

From this point of view, Da Song was at a loss, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

So I'm afraid it's not so easy to ask for help from Champa now.

Tang Ning didn't know much about this, so Zeng Bu took a pen and wrote a receipt, preparing to write these things in a letter and send them back to Tang Ning.

However, the official who helped him sharpen the ink was crounging his neck and peeking, Zeng Bu asked a little unpleasantly, "What are you kid looking at?" ”

The official smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's impossible to ask for help from Champa.

I have heard people say that there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies between nations. In the face of interests, everything can be compromised.

If the Privy Counsellor wishes, he is willing to send an envoy to occupy the city to facilitate this. ”

Zeng Bu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The lowly surname is Zhang, and the name is Jingming...... Didn't the privy envoy ask for the humble post from the Zhenjiang army by name? ”

Zeng Bu smiled awkwardly and said: "The envoy only looked at your resume, as for your appearance, the envoy doesn't know ......."
