"This is Section Chief Zhao."

"This is Director Lu."

"This is Section Chief Feng."

For every person introduced, a drink is touched. After waiting for the introduction, Liu Pet was already a little drunk.

After finally finishing the introduction, Liu Pet waited for the director to pick up the vegetables first. Following his father, a jinshi, he still knows the most basic table rules. Director Li of Kaifeng did not hurry to announce the opening of the banquet after the introduction, he asked the waiter to pour wine for everyone, and the director stood up and made a speech condescendingly.

Liu Pet felt cloudy, and just wanted to eat something to fill his stomach. What the director said was not excessive, it was all the scene words that the landlord should say. However, Liu Pet only felt that his stomach was not very comfortable, and these reasonable words became uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the scene was not long, and finally the director raised his glass, "Everyone, cheers!" ”

Liu Pet picked up the wine glass and listened to the director say: "The comrades who came from afar have a weak spleen and stomach, so don't drink this cup first." Eat something to cushion your stomach. ”

The director was so considerate, Liu Pet felt better at that time. The next thing is to officially start eating, and the meals on the table are also ordinary, with chicken, duck and fish, and a few green vegetables. As for the taste, a taste reminded Liu Pet of the army's food. The food of the Great Song army is not bad, the problem is that the big pot dishes are not very fine. Fortunately, it is real.

After filling the stomach, everyone began to talk about the situation of each unit. The director asked a question, "Does the Yellow River on the other side of Shandong freeze in winter?" ”

"Frozen." Liu Pet replied, and then he followed and asked, "What about Henan?" ”

"Sometimes it freezes over there in Luoyang. Kaifeng is better here. Director Li replied.

"Director Li is worried that the Mongolian soldiers will take advantage of the winter to cross the Yellow River?" Liu Pet's comrade from here asked.

Director Li replied: "Now that we have the area from Luoyang to Huaxian, there are many troops stationed on this land. It was not easy for the Mongols to come over. If you're worried, it's Shandong. ”

After all, he was born in intelligence, so he naturally has a high level of looking at problems. Liu Chong knew that the Shandong Military Region had indeed considered this issue, but Kaifeng's idea was a bit taken for granted. Liu Pet couldn't help but replied: "Our side is actually not too afraid of this, the Mongolian army dares to cross the Yellow River, how can it cost tens of thousands of people." They dared to send so many people, and we Shandong sent troops to land in Zhigu Village and kill Dadu. If the Mongol army that crossed the Yellow River did not come back. It's mostly over. If they come to their aid, Shandong will naturally be safe. ”

After hearing this, Director Li nodded, "If it is designed like this, it is indeed a way." ”

At the dinner table, Liu Pet couldn't help but ask about the news about the soldiers on the other side of Henan.

Hearing this question, the director said, "We have also been inquiring about the news of the government soldiers. I heard that they were all small and medium-sized local landlords and rich peasants, and they had little to do with the previous Han army princes. Section Chief Zhong, tell me about it. After saying that, he buried his head in eating the fried chicken thighs.

Section Chief Feng had buried his head in gnawing half of his elbow before, and at this time, he turned over the napkin that had been used and wiped his oily mouth and fingers, and then introduced.

Originally, before the Yellow River was diverted, the opposite side of the river was relatively arid land, and the Mongols mainly grazed their cattle there. As a pastoral area, there is no Han life. Now that the Yellow River has returned to the north, the once arid place is immediately much wetter. In this way, the soldiers on the other side of the Yellow River are relatively close to this side and are also dozens of miles away from the riverside areas of other rivers outside the Yellow River.

After listening to such an introduction, Liu Pet felt a little afraid. He didn't know that there was such a thing, because in Jinan, or going to Dezhou, Liu Chong thought that the banks of the Yellow River should be similar to here. It was in Henan, Kaifeng and Luoyang, which he went to, were also relatively populous areas, and he never expected that the situation in other areas of Henan was very different from Kaifeng and Luoyang.

However, after thinking about it again, Liu Pet suddenly felt that he hadn't really figured it out when he was thinking about it. Many things are actually very easy to understand, and it is precisely because Kaifeng has many conveniences and is a populated area that a big city like Kaifeng will appear. Such an expensive operation as war is, of course, carried out around the most valuable goals.

If Kaifeng is a barren mountain and a place with no people at all, the Yellow River Battle will definitely not be fought in the area centered on Kaifeng.

Therefore, the idea of taking the level of Kaifeng as the general level of Henan is an idea that lacks common sense.

After figuring this out, Liu Pet felt that his heart was open, and he couldn't help but drink a few more sips under everyone's persuasion. The strength of the wine mixed with drowsiness, Liu Pet leaned back on the chair and fell asleep unconsciously.
