Chapter 457 Winter Offensive

Guo Guangsheng waved his sleeves and replied: "I thought Mogus's old subordinate must be from Dongsheng Prefecture. Just now, Master Jinglei also guessed so, which shows that Master Taishi had already started. Tatars came from Dongsheng Prefecture, and the Master Taishi must have a backup plan. He did not pass through the Privy Council and did not leave any seal certificates. This is a test."

Zhong Shizhong suddenly understood that Zhao Xing planned a strategy for Xixia, but he did not want the strategy to be known by the Privy Council. Therefore, when he launched the plan, even the relevant parties of Fuyan Road did not inform him. It depends on whether the local officers had a tacit understanding and guessed that Fuyan Road's reaction was nothing but two strategies. If Fuyan Road reported the Tatars' entry according to procedures and then let the Privy Council formally approve it, it means that Zhao Xing's combat plan must first reveal his oral to the Privy Council. In this way, Zhao Xing is likely to give up this combat plan and look for other strategies.

But if Junyan Road is in tune with concealing the news of the Tatar transit from the court, it means Junyan Road is willing to cooperate with his confidentiality strategy. In this way, Zhao Xing is likely to take the initiative to discuss with local officials in Shaanxi. Zhao Xing has strong connections in Shaanxi and has a high prestige in the army. As long as the superior officer is willing to assist, he must not be worried about the smooth implementation of the plan.

Zhong Shizhong and Zhe Keshi figured it out. They looked at each other. Zhong Shizhong showed his eyes, and Zhe Keshi immediately spoke: "My Fuyan Road belongs to Yongxing Military Road. If you want to hide such a thing from Yongxing Military Road, you must carefully consider a route of progress... and let's talk about it after Luqiu Temple arrives."

Luqiu Temple indeed arrived on the 16th. After he visited Master Zhong, he said in a daze without waiting for Master Zhong to speak: "Huanqing is not a problem!"

As soon as this sentence is said, Zhe and Zhe Keshi understand it. This is indeed a test. Liu Zhongwu, Qinfeng Road, has completely sold himself to join, and Zhao Xing laid a strong foundation for Huanqing. As long as the Tatars were released on Fuyan Road, Huanqing will naturally cooperate. After passing Huanqing, the Tatars entered Liu Zhongwu's Qinfeng Road. In this way, the news of the tribe's transit was completely concealed.

Thinking deeper, Liu Zhongwu went twice, hoping to return to Qinfeng Road to plan the route of the Tatars in advance, and after the Tatars arrived, it was time for Liu Zhongwu to launch a winter offensive. He used this Tatars as a vanguard and broke into the snowy Qing Tang, intending to fight Zhao Huaide in one battle. Then it happened to be spring, the Tatars settled down and herding horses on the Qing Tang grassland for the Song Dynasty, and their existence was also the strategic buffer zone of the Song Dynasty. In this way, the Song Dynasty could turn over and deal with the Xixia without any worries.

Zhe Keshi stared at Master Zhong and waited for the other party to express his opinion. Master Zhong thought for a while and made a resolute statement: "There is no problem with the reserve of grain and grass on the Fuyan Road. There are several villages on the border that I trusted, and they can arrange for them to provide grain and grass, but they cannot get close to these villages twenty miles. Can they do it?"

Lu Qiuguan replied with a smile: "No problem! The military rations on the road in Fuyan Road will be compensated by the Taishi. This tribe has not many people, and it requires not much supplies, just a little money. The Taiwei paid out of his own pocket."

Mr. Zhong looked serious and stern: "Although the Taiwei is rich, I know that this move is also for the country and the people, and for Shaanxi to solve the border problems for a hundred years. I should have done a lot of effort at all. This food and grass does not require the burden of the Taiwei."

Lu Qiuguan put away his smile and bowed to thank him: "Xiaozhong is open-minded and loyal, and he is convinced by the emperor!"

Zhong Shizhong turned around and told him to tell him: "Arranging an army for winter training, escorting the Tatars through the state along the way, and the food and grass needed by the Tatars will be divided into the consumption of this army."

The so-called "escort along the way" is actually surveillance along the way. After all, Master Zhong is still worried.

In the twelfth lunar month, Fuyan Road suddenly reported the snow disaster to Yongxing Army Road. It was said that eleven counties under its jurisdiction were affected. Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhongwu also reported the snow disaster to the court. When this memorial was delivered to the court, Zhao Xing's memorial requesting the increase of troops in the South China Sea also arrived at the court.

When Zhang Shangying saw these two memorials, he ordered disapprovingly: "The court has a routine for disaster relief, which is nothing more than to organize the victims into the wing army and the court pays for money... Isn't Zhao Liren asking for more troops in Nanyang? By the way, all the trained wing army were sent to him. This is what he asked. You can't ask the court for money just because the wing army has passed."

Shaanxi is a border, and the imperial court has always attached great importance to the memorials of Shaanxi. When Huang Tingjian heard the news of the disaster-reporting site in Shaanxi, he also rushed to Zichen Hall. In addition to him, there were also Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Wang Qinchen, Privy Councilor Liu Kui, and Censorate Right Zhang Lei.

When Zhang Shangying said this, Zhang Lei's lips moved, Huang Tingjian glanced at him sternly, Zhang Lei swallowed the words back, Wang Qinchen looked cool, he looked up at the sky and said relaxedly: "Zhao Xianggong asked for a large number of land. According to his calculations, at least 200,000 soldiers overseas, and about 1.4 million families, including the family members. Shaanxi is a border, and I am afraid that so many soldiers will not be drawn out for a while.

Taoist (Song Huizong) once arose Huashigang, Suzhou and the two Huaihe Rivers suffered widespread suffering. These places are densely populated, and it is better to remove firewood from the cauldron, and all the victims were organized into the wing army, promising the court to compensate the South Ocean. The specific compensation will be worrying about Zhao Li people. We don’t care."

Zhang Lei's actions were discovered by Zhang Shangying, and Huang Tingjian's stopping made him frightened. He picked up a few memorials and said to himself with lingering fear: "Coincidentally, Zhao Liren's memorial just solved the problems of the court."

Zhang Shangying said while sneaking into the faces of several adults with the corners of his eyes. Liu Kui's expression was confused. Huang Tingjian and others seemed to be nothing. Zhang Shangying thought about it again and threw down the memorial and replied: "It's settled. From Shaanxi to train the Xiang Army, and from Suzhou to train the affected people... There are only dozens of copper plates per acre of land in Nanyang. In this way, the damage of about 100 guan (inflicted by Emperor Daojun) is probably worth a thousand acres of land. If there are tens of thousands of guan, the converted land will be endless in a day, and the people should be satisfied now."

After Zhang Shangying finished speaking, she sighed and said, "Two years have passed, and we still have endless asses."

Huang Tingjian remained silent. He bowed his hand and said goodbye. Zhang Lei and Wang Qinchen followed closely, and Zhang Shangying whispered to Liu Kui and whispered: "Send a big pavilion to follow and listen to what they are saying. I suspect there is another name here."

The training of the wing and the movement of the army belong to the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. Liu Kui was an old party member recommended by Han Zhongyan. Strictly speaking, he was a party member of Zhao Xing. However, now that Han Zhongyan's death has made his position a little unstable. He heard Zhang Shangying's orders. He hurriedly called an eunuch and gave a few words to him. The eunuch immediately left the hall. Soon, the eunuch returned and reported: "Grandpa Huang walked into the gate of Xuande Tower and sighed to the sky: 'Zhao Liren's hand is itchy again. Look at this posture. I'm afraid it's Xixia."

"Xixia, what can Xixia have?" Liu Kui widened his eyes in a daze.

Zhang Shangying was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a moment. He slowly replied: "After King Han passed away, he recommended Hou Meng to take over the Beiyang Yamen. The Nanyang Affairs Bureau has always been appointed by the Three Palaces. Although Hou Meng was not famous in the Shilin, he was a state official after all. The court meant to send his royal family members to serve as the Beiyang Yamen. Hou Meng was appointed as the official."

Zhang Shangying's words meant: As the base camp of the old party, the court had to send a royal prince to serve as the official of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau's official position. This official was appointed as the official position of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau, but he did not take office. In fact, the official position was mainly Hou Meng. However, as a dispatcher, Hou Meng could not have the title of "Three Divisions" on his head.

Liu Kui nodded: "Since the court has made a decision, please order as soon as possible to avoid suspending officials from the Beiyang Affairs Bureau."

Zhang Shangying finished his relationship and then talked about the important matter: "Huang Lu has been by Zhao Xing for several years and is familiar with Zhao Xing's temperament. When he said this, it was definitely not aimless. I just wondered, what is the relationship between Ding Yirong, the Shaanxi wing, and dealing with Xixia?"

Liu Kui thought: "I can't guess what Zhao Liren thinks. At that time, Prime Minister Han once said that Zhao Liren always sets traps, and always keeps getting back. Only when things come to an end can they suddenly realize it. Since Mr. Huang said that, it must be based on it. Perhaps Zhao Liren wanted to train Shaanxi wingmen, but this is also beneficial to the court. The court did not spend a single money and asked Zhao Liren to place tens of thousands of wingmen. This would be wrong."

Zhang Shangying nodded: "I heard from Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun that Zhao Liren designed a strategy that was best at wrapping big sticks with honey. On the first day of the first day, this strategy was extremely sweet and would be of great benefit to you, but when you add honey, you will find that there is a cold subway stick inside.

Today's plan was indeed beneficial to the court on the first day of the lunar calendar, but I couldn't guess what stick was wrapped in this honey. You are the Privy Councilor, and I heard that Hou Meng and Zhao Liren have a good relationship. You should try your best to find out what Zhao Liren is thinking."

Liu Kui nodded, and pointed to several memorials on the table and asked: "How should we deal with what Shaanxi asked and what Zhao Liren asked?"

Zhang Shangying nodded: "Let's take a look at the moment - now there are constant changes in the people everywhere, and it is the detriment of His Majesty the Lord of Taoism. What Zhao Li people asks for, it will be beneficial to the court in the short term. We have no other plan, so we can only add the honey first."

Liu Kui took the order and left. Afterwards, the imperial court issued an edict, agreeing to organize the training of the Xiang army in Shaanxi. The newly trained Xiang army will move to Hangzhou and be placed overseas from Hangzhou. At the same time, there will also be Xiang Ding from all over Suzhou.

The Chinese have a strong sense of rural areas and knew that the training of the Xiang army was to be transferred overseas, and most of the people in the two places had fugitives. Shaanxi then submitted an application, hoping to send two troops to escort the Xiang army to Hangzhou. The resulting vacancies were hoped that the court could dispatch the reorganized imperial guards to Shaanxi to move to the army.

The imperial guards moved other places to fight against other places, which was a kind of control strategy for the Song Dynasty to place the local areas. It was rare for a place to send a letter to ask the imperial guards to go to their places to consume local food and grass. Liu Kui immediately approved and agreed. Afterwards, he still wanted to ask Suzhou to send the main imperial guards to escort the wing army to Hangzhou, and at the same time urged Zhao Xing to quickly announce the Nanyang reclamation strategy.

Zhao Xing was very pleased and immediately the reclaiming strategy of the Xiangjun of the Ministry of Works. He announced that the service period of the Rongxiang Army was ten years. During the service period, the salary was paid according to the salary of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau overseas service. At the same time, the land equivalent to the salary of the year was also compensated. The land was not taxed and completely owned by the Rongxiang Army. If the Rongjun was willing to take root in the local area, it would be distributed to them and owned by them forever.

These strategies are boring and most people cannot understand them carefully. However, after the regulations, an example is given: for example, an ordinary soldier will have at least 500 acres of fertile land after arriving in Nanyang. The Nanyang rice is ripe three times a year, and the grain produced in these fields will be purchased by the Nanyang Yamen at the grain protection price, plus their salary. During the service period, a staked corpse income of at least one magistrate...

At the same time, some seemingly insignificant incidents also occurred one after another, but many years later everyone understood the significance of these incidents:

In the twelfth month, the Tatars began to move westward on the Fuyan Road. Before the westward migration, Zhao Xing only provided simple cold-proof objects as supplies. The Tatars repeatedly requested replenishment of weapons but had nothing. The helpless Tatars could only set off in the cold. Before leaving, the child leader solemnly performed a "five-body ritual" to the East with Tatar etiquette: "My Tatars were pursued by Xixia and Liao for many years, and there was nothing valuable in the tribe. We cannot repay the kindness of Lord Zhao, but we can only offer the most beautiful clouds on the grassland..."

The child waved his hand and a tall, strong and full-faced Tatar woman came up and saluted Luqiuguan. The child continued to add: "This is a gift we gave to the Taishi. I hope you will hand it over to the Taishi and tell the Taishi that I, the Tatars, can exist in the world. Quannai's kindness, will be the Taishi's dog in the future. In the future, the Tatars will be the Taishi's dog. If he asks us to bite, our tribe will not hesitate."

Luqiuguan forced a smile. Mr. Zhong waved his hand: "Go and find a few healthy women to take a shower and change clothes, and then carefully escort the woman to Hangzhou. The patriarch, please rest assured that we will send you your kindness properly... By the way, I have been together for so long and have you not asked your name yet?"

The clan leader nodded: "My tribe members gave me a name. This name is translated into Song Dynasty and is called Yannanhe, but my mother gave me a name called Liu Nanwang. You can call me Liu Nanwang."

After saying that, the child waved his hand and said goodbye. In the cold wind, he led his tribe members to the distance without hesitation, and Luqiuguan followed him all the way. Master Zhong looked at the child's back. He thoughtfully said to Zhe Keshi beside him: "This child has a tough personality. I can imagine the treatment he received in the tribe..."

Master Zhong forgot that the Tatar girl was still by his side. After hearing his words, the Tatar girl interrupted. She actually said that she was fluent Song Yu: "The mother of Yannanhe is my tribe who robbed the land from Xixia. I heard that she was the only daughter of a county magistrate in Qin Fenglu. The county magistrate fought with the Xia people and died in the county. His daughter was taken into Xixia and rewarded to the meritorious soldiers.

Back then, Mogus, the hero of our clan, captured Heishan and snatched the mother of Neishan from the Heishan people. His grandmother (grandmother) was also robbed. Soon after, Neishan was born. His mother passed away two years later, Neishan was taught to learn Song language by his grandmother. The clan disliked this weak-looking child. If Master Taishi had not made an agreement with us, the clan members would have thought that he would have been thrown into the Neishan River just in case.

Last year, we heard that Song Shang was looking for us. The elders were afraid that the current clan leader would kill Yan Nanhe, so they protected him. Later, we reached an agreement with the Grand Tutor. The elders in the clan forced the clan leader to commit suicide. Yan Nanhe then ascended the position of the clan leader."

Mr. Zhong nodded slightly and did not speak. Zhe Keshi narrowed his eyes and muttered in his heart: "Growing up in an environment of discrimination, he may be killed by his brother at any time. This child must be very sinister. If the Grand Master does this, there will be no good or bad luck!"

Master Zhong looked at the Tatar girl and thought for a while. Suddenly, he ordered Zhe Keshi without any thoughts: "I occasionally feel cold and need to be sick for a while. You will preside over the military."

Zhe Keshi was stunned and immediately understood the agreement. At this time, the Tatars's back had disappeared under the horizon.

To be secretive, the Tatars arranged for the Tatars to be relocated in the distance and were very close to the border. In order to make the final way out, the entire Tatars had to do their best to rush to the cold wind. In the middle of that month, they had already rushed through the Fuyan Road and entered Huanqing, and then detoured through Qinfeng under the support of Huanqing. After entering Qinfeng, the Tatars obtained sufficient land supplies and provided them with some weapons in several consecutive barracks. By the time they arrived at the front line of Qinfeng Road, the migrated tribe had all been replaced with the standard equipment of the tribe army of the Song Dynasty, becoming a complete Great Song Dynasty army.

In order to launch a winter offensive, Liu Zhongwu, who hurried to the front line, was mobilizing vassal troops everywhere that could tolerate plateau combat. This vassal army entered the camp without the attention of Tong Guan and Gao Qiu. When they saw the arrival of the fully armed Tatar tribe, they immediately followed Liu Zhongwu's prior instructions and sent the Tatar troops as the vanguard, mixed some Qinfeng Road grenadiers to set out in advance. Then, Liu Zhongwu led the main force of Qinfeng Road, and also arrived. He rested when he was young and rushed towards Tubo...

In the blink of an eye, February of the fifth year of Xuanhe, during two months, Liu Zhongwu was progressing smoothly. For the last part of his habitat, the remnants of Tatars fought for their lives. They attacked the Tubo army one after another. There was no prisoner left in every battle. Liu Zhongwu was a little unbearable and wanted to persuade him. At this time, Luqiuguan, who was about to return, was leisurely persuading: "Why should Liu Jingluo worry for the Tubo people? The death of the invaders is a simple truth. If the Tubo people don't understand, we will use gunpowder to let them understand.

Moreover, if the Tatars want to gain a foothold in Qingtang, they must clear up the hostile tribes nearby. Because now, we are in the hands of cleaning up the surrounding areas, and the support of our Song Dynasty behind them, it is impossible for them not to kill them. But this is also good for us. The more the Tatars kill, the more hostile the people around them are. They can only rely on our Song Dynasty to gain a foothold. Therefore, when the Tatars raise their butcher knife, it is good for themselves. If Liu Jinglei cannot bear it, he might as well turn his back on it."

Liu Zhongwu had already agreed with Lu Qiuguan's words in his heart. He nodded slightly and said, "I had received a Tubo envoy asking for peace the day before yesterday, which means we have not had much time left. I will send this envoy to the capital and wait for the imperial court's order..."

Luqiuguan whispered: "The court will not issue a truce order. Liu Jingluo can be regarded as the two sides are still in a state of war and must not relax!"

Liu Zhongwu understood, and he answered frankly: "When will the court order be delivered to our military camp, and when will I order the Tatars to seal the sword?"

Luqiu Guanluo bowed: "Hangzhou has an important task and urgently summoned me. Liu Jingluo's major event is settled, so I will say goodbye."

The Tubo people sought peace not because of Liu Zhongwu's current offensive, but because Zhao Xing began to attack from multiple routes two years ago. Dali had already attacked Tubo South Road. According to the traffic conditions at that time, the Tubo South Road passed the news of the Song army's attack into the territory to the Tubo capital. It took several months on the road. When Tubo discussed the response strategy, the mountain was already blocked with heavy snow. In the spring of the next year, Tubo sent another envoy. When the front received the order from the capital, it was another heavy snow that blocked the mountain. Therefore, Tubo responded to the Song Dynasty's multiple routes two years later.

Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty no longer needed peace. The army led by Liu Zhongwu was deeply embedded in the Qingtang area. The Tatars' butcher knife had cleared a radius of 1,000 square kilometers for themselves. However, they still thought the pasture was small and were trying their best to attack in order to plunder more people and seize more territory.

In the same month, the beauty given by the Tatars to Zhao Xing also arrived in Dengzhou, escorting her soldiers all the way to send the Tatar girl into Hou Meng's arrangement for the land official to relax. Hou Meng waved to the captain of the guard and said softly: "Zhong Jingluo, Lord Zhao had arrived outside the sea of ​​Dengzhou yesterday. He is now on the warship. I think it is best if you meet him and are on the warship."

The captain who escorted the Tatar girl took off his hood and showed his face. It was among the smugglers of the Fuyan Road who were ill for two months. He shook his head: "It is inappropriate to meet at sea, and the signs are bad. The sea has no roots and is floating. I am a general of the land and like to talk on land after all."

Hou Meng nodded: "Since that's the case, I will arrange it. There is a restaurant in Dengzhou Pier. You will take this Tatar girl to the restaurant at noon tomorrow. Master Zhao will meet you on the third floor."

Mr. Zhong flipped up his hood, hid his face under the hood, and replied: "So, I'll take a rest first."

At noon the next day, Zhong Shizhong led the guards to Dengzhou Wharf. He began to investigate half a mile near the restaurant arranged by Hou Meng. He encountered five consecutive inspections along the way. The last inspection was actually the General Shi Cheng, General Xiaoshi, the Chief Supervisor of the Beiyang Yamen, and there was a civil servant who looked very similar to him next to him.

After Shi Cheng completed the investigation, the civil official next to him stood up and greeted: "Come with me... the official, Shi Wenguan, the staff officer of the Nanyang Yamen General Staff Headquarters!"

Mr. Zhong nodded slightly: "The people from the Shi family's general guard the gate - the Taishi's grand ceremony is very grand."

The word "popularity" means date in the Song Dynasty, and is mostly used on lover dates. Zhong Jingluo said this, which was quite ridiculous. The Tatar girl looked at Zhong Shizhong in surprise. Zhong Shizhong didn't care at all and walked first.

The girl was a little angry. She was a gift given to Zhao Xing by the Tatar tribe. The Tatars could not know what the title of Zhao Xing's Grand Tutor meant, but they knew that Zhao Xing was a great official in the Song Dynasty. The attendants were very respectful to her along the way. After the local officials along the way knew the identity of the young man, they also gave her some small gifts from time to time and tried hard to curry favor with her. The little girl who grew up on the grassland had never experienced such Song-style compliments. After much experience, she couldn't help but feel a little arrogant. She thought that according to the rules on the grassland, Master Zhong should let her go first, but she did not expect Master Zhong to have no intention of courteousness.

Speaking of which, she had not recognized Zong Shizhong yet. When she saw him on Fuyan Road, she was wrapped tightly to resist the cold wind. Zong Shizhong was wearing a helmet and armor, fully armed, and looked very majestic. The rules on the grassland. When the noble elders were seen, they could not raise their eyes to observe, so she lowered her eyes and did not pay attention to the appearance of Zong Shizhong. When Zong Shizhong changed into small soldiers' clothes and often hid both sides under the hood, she was even less interested in looking at such insignificant attendants. As a result, she still didn't know that the captain of the guard was the highest military commander he had met on Fuyan Road.

The Tatar girl walked into the restaurant angrily. She found that there were very few people in the restaurant, and occasionally several officers sat at the table. However, there was no food or food on their table. Each officer pressed his waist with a nervous expression, and there were often several loaded hand guns on the table.

The entire restaurant was not open to the public. Under the guidance of the officer, Zhong Shizhong walked up to the fifth floor of the restaurant. This was the top floor. Except for two tall black men sitting at the stairs, the entire fifth floor was quiet and no one was seen walking around.

The officer leading the way stopped at the stairs and nodded to the two black men upstairs. The Tatar girl had never seen a black man before. She looked at the arms of the two black men curiously. She reached out her hand naughtyly and found that the black man was thick and she couldn't hold her hands at all. She quietly stuck out her tongue. At this time, two black men had passed by the Zang Division. She turned around and reminded the rest of the guards: "Everyone is staying downstairs. Call for some wine and food."

After Mr. Zhong said that, he hooked his fingers and signaled the Tatar girl to go upstairs, but he did not wait for the girl, but took the lead without hesitation.

There is only one private room on the fifth floor. After entering the door, Zhong Shizhong stood at the door and looked up and down at the only guest in the room. Zhao Xing was standing in front of the window. Hearing his footsteps, he turned around and stared at the door.

According to the official registration, Zhao Xing should be forty years old this year, but it seems that the time and space tunnel has slightly changed Zhao Xing's body. He is still young and does not look like a middle-aged man at all. His burly figure is still muscular and full of explosive power. Zhong Shizhong is a great man in Guanxi, who is already tall in Shaanxi, but when he stands in front of Zhao Xing, he looks slightly shorter.

Zhao Xing was also looking at the Zong army. The Song Dynasty used civil servants to control military affairs, and non-civilian officials could not serve as generals. The only generals who came from the northwest were the Zheke family. The generals of his family were hereditary for generations, while the Zong family was because each generation of his family produced a Jinshi. This Jinshi inherited the Zhong family's civil and military strategy. The court based on the convention, sent the Zhong family to the northwest to be the commander, thus becoming a general of the Zhong family.

According to normal history, in the Song Dynasty, the Yang Family General was a fictional character similar to Harry Potter, while the Zong Family General was a real history. The Zong Shi was called "Xiao Zong Jinglu", which also means that he was regarded as the fifth generation successor of the Zong Family General and was the second outstanding figure in the Zong family who achieved the strategy.

Although Zhong Shizhong was born in the Northwest General Sect, he seemed very gentle and elegant. His outfit as a soldier did not cover up his literary temperament. This is not surprising. Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty Zhao Kuangyin once asked military generals to study, which is the origin of what the Song Dynasty said that "the emperor valued articles". Since then, the generals of the Song Dynasty have maintained the habit of reading throughout the years, and it is fashionable to cultivate their literary temperament. Therefore, most civil officials like to show their elegance, and in this era, Zhao Xing, was the only civil servant. He always liked to show his rudeness.

Mr. Zhong was looking around. The Tatar girl had already looked around and walked into the box. Mr. Zhong was focused on her and did not notice her arrival. He bowed and praised her: "I often heard that the Grand Master is tall and burly, and he is a famous general in a hundred battles. When I saw him today, it turned out that the hero was the handsome man. The lower official accepted him."

The Tatar girl looked at Zhao Xing curiously and asked in Songyu: "Are you my lord? Oh, you are so majestic and outstanding, and the most burly warrior in my clan cannot compare to you!"

Zhao Xing turned to the girl and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl replied briskly: "Our tribe called me 'Morning Clouds'. I know you Song people can't read our Tatar names, so I gave myself a name called 'Chaoyun'."

When Zhao Xing heard this name, he jumped up and said quickly: "This name is not good. If you change it, it is better to call it "Chaolu". The morning dew is fresh and crystal clear."

The girl pouted: "No, no, I've called Yunduo in the morning for more than ten years, why did you change my name as soon as you meet?"

Mr. Zhong gently reminded: "The name Chaoyun is the name of Master Taishi. It is a blasphemy for you to use this name, so according to our Song people's habits, you must change your name."

The girl tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Okay, you are my master, I will listen to you."

Mr. Zhong nodded: "That's good."

The girl glanced at the scene and asked lively: "My tribe all say you are the great hero of the Han people and the great chief. Look at this scene today, it seems that you are going to have a tribal secret meeting. Can I sit down?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "It doesn't matter. You won't understand what we discussed today."

Mr. Zhong grinned and said, "Even if this Tatar girl knows today's secret talk, she will probably not be able to convey the message alone."

Mr. Zhong nodded, and immediately several maids were posing for the banquet like Chuanhua. During the meal, the atmosphere in the box was very dull. Mr. Zhong remained silent. The Tatar girl named Chaolu looked around and looked at the maid's outfit curiously. During this period, she grabbed several maids in succession, pulled each other's heads to look at the jewelry on her head, and grabbed each other's clothes and stroked each other's silk. Zhao Xing was very kind. He asked Chaolu with a smile: "I heard that the local officials along the way gave you a lot of silk and satin, why are you still wearing a sheepskin coat today?"

Chaolu replied: "Silk is good, but it is easy to scratch. Although the fur is bulky, it is not restricted when worn. You can sit wherever you want, and you can roll around when you want, and you don't have to worry about wrinkles."

Zhao Xing smiled happily, and he turned his eyes to Zhong Shizhong. Zhong Shizhong waved his hand to signal the maids to retreat. After the maids walked down the stairs, the whole building returned to silence, Zhong Shizhong held the wine glass and spoke hurriedly: "There are eight questions from the lower official, and I remember the Grand Master to solve the doubts?"
Chapter completed!
