"Now that the Song Dynasty's army has been acting strangely, according to the Laundry Brothel, this northern expedition is a foregone conclusion. Therefore, I hereby appoint Fu San Zhongyi as the Right Deputy Marshal and Heshi Liezhining as the Kaifeng Magistrate to guard the south against the Song Dynasty's northern expedition."
A familiar voice rang out in the room. Song Qingshu could tell that it was the voice of 'Tang Kuo Bian'. However, there was a slight difference between the voice and the real Tang Kuo Bian's. Of course, only those closest to him would be able to tell the difference.
Song Qingshu peered into the study through a crack in the window and saw a man who looked like Tang Kuo Bian sitting at the head of the table. Beside him stood a tall white-robed elder. It was Western Poison Ouyang Feng.
"Ouyang Feng must be standing here to protect the fake Tang Kuo Bian in case anything happens to her." Song Qingshu figured out the crux of the matter at a glance. "But I wonder who is pretending to be Tang Kuo Bian? Ge Bi or Taj-kis?"
Previously, it was Ge Bi who had been pretending to be Tang Kuo Bian. After Taj-tish was subdued, in addition to her proficiency in the art of disguise, she was sent back to share Ge Bi's burden. It was unknown whether the two of them were cooperating well.
As for who the person in the study was, Song Qingshu couldn't tell after staring at it for a long time. At first, he tried to judge from the size of the chest, but after looking at it for a long time, he realized that the chest of the "Tang Kuo Bian" was very flat.
Song Qingshu stopped trying and looked at the other people in the room. One of them was tall and burly with a white beard like the reincarnation of Old Huang Zhong. He recognized him as the famous Jin general Fu San Zhongyi. The other man was dignified with a calm and determined look in his eyes. He was also the famous general Heshi Liezhining.
Both of them were the pillars of the Jin Kingdom's army. Coupled with their high ranks in the imperial court, Song QingShu recognized them at a glance.
"I wonder if it's Ge Bi or Taj-kis. At least they have good taste." Song Qingshu sighed in admiration. In his memory, the Southern Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition was defeated by these two men. Of course, the world was too chaotic now, and he was not sure if it would develop according to history. He could only do his best to prepare.
At this point, 'Tang Kuo Bian' spoke again, "According to reliable information obtained by the Washing Clothes Brothel, the Southern Song Dynasty has secretly contacted the Red Coat Army. When the time comes, the Red Coat Army will most likely rise in revolt. Ah Hai, you have been fighting against the Red Coat Army for many years and have made outstanding contributions. This time, I will appoint you as the Commander and Pacification Envoy of Shandong Road to guard against the Red Coat Army. "
"Thank you, Marshal. I will not disappoint you!" A young man said happily.
Song Qingshu thought about it carefully and vaguely remembered that this young man was the grandson of Fu San Zhongyi. His name was Fu San Anzhen and his nickname was Ah Hai. He was one of the best of the younger generation of the Jin Kingdom and had a reputation in the army.
Inside the room, 'Tang Kuo Bian' continued to make arrangements. "Wanyan Heda, you have always been brave and good at fighting. This time, you will be stationed in the north to guard against the Mongols and Liao."
Song QingShu recognized this Wanyan Heda. After the Hailing coup d 'état, Song QingShu had completely changed the guards around the emperor in order to replace him. He had promoted a group of brave warriors from the army who were skilled in martial arts, and Wanyan Heda was one of them. The reason why he was chosen was because Song Qingshu remembered that Wanyan Heda was one of the famous generals who fought against the Mongols in the later years of the Jin Kingdom. Unfortunately, the Mongols were too strong and he had died on the battlefield.
"Yes, Marshal!" Wanyan Heda replied.
Fu San Zhongyi suddenly spoke, "Marshal, the Mongols are very powerful, and Wanyan Heda is still inexperienced. Isn't it inappropriate to send him to the north?" He was experienced and could tell that Tang Kuo Bian was promoting his trusted aide. Normally, he would not have said anything, but this was a matter of life and death for the country, so he had to mention it.
Wanyan Heda's face froze, but Tang Kuo Bian was an elder in the army and had a high reputation. A newcomer like him could not compare to him.
Tang Kuo Bian explained, "The Mongols have diverted their main force to the west and do not have the energy to care about the Central Plains. Even if they send an army south, it will at most be a detachment. Wanyan Heda may be inexperienced, but he has always been brave and is loved by his colleagues. He is more than enough to handle this situation. "
Fu San Zhongyi frowned. "Even if the Mongols do not go south, what about the Khitans? The King of the South Yard, Xiao Feng, is brave and good at fighting. If he leads the army, Wanyan Heda will not be a match for him."
Tang Kuo Bian replied, "I have other arrangements for the Khitans. When the time comes, they will not be able to divert their attention to the south."
"Oh?" Fu San Zhongyi and Hexhi Lie Zhining looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity.
Tang Kuo Bian smiled. "This is a matter of great importance. To prevent the information from being leaked and all our efforts from going to waste, I cannot tell you now."
"Since the Marshal already has a plan, it is not our place to say anything," Fu San Zhongyi replied, but his tone was still somewhat disapproving.
Tang Kuo Bian thought for a moment and added, "Now that the Jin Empire is surrounded by great powers and the older generation of generals have passed away, there is a shortage of talents in the army. We should take this opportunity to promote the new recruits to deal with the crisis. No matter how much potential the new recruits have, if they are not tempered on the battlefield, it will be difficult for them to become true generals."
Fu San Zhongyi nodded. "Indeed, the Marshal's words make sense."
At this moment, Hexhi Lie Zhining suddenly spoke up. "Marshal, compared to Liao and the Red Coat Army, the Golden Snake Camp in the east is a greater threat. Song Qingshu defeated the Qing army of a hundred thousand soldiers and then defeated Li Kexiu's Jiangnan Green Camp. Now, he has a thousand miles of fertile land under his command, a well-trained army, and sufficient food. In addition, he was recently conferred the title of Prince of Qi by the Song court. It can be said that his reputation has reached its peak. If he attacks from the east, we will be in big trouble."
Fu San Zhongyi agreed. "Indeed. Moreover, I heard that this man is not only a god-like commander, but also a peerless martial artist. He also has the ability to summon the wind and summon the rain. If he brings an army here, A 'Hai will not be a match for him."
Fu San Zhongyi was young and hot-blooded. Normally, he would not submit to anyone. Now that he heard his grandfather say this, he did not have the slightest objection. It was obvious that he agreed with his grandfather's judgment.
Outside the window, Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. Hearing someone appraise him like this behind his back, he did not know whether he should be happy or … happy. The feeling of eavesdropping in front of someone was very strange.
Inside the room, when Ouyang Feng heard Song Qingshu's name, he could not help but cough twice. It was obvious that he was having a hard time holding back. Tang Kuobian unhappily rolled his eyes at him, then said, "You do not need to worry about the Golden Snake Camp. This marshal has a plan. I guarantee that the surname Song will retreat without a fight."
Fu San Zhongyi and Hexhi Lie Zhining were all the more astonished. However, seeing Tang Kuobian's unfathomable appearance, it was clear that he did not intend to tell them the truth. They could not help but be secretly alarmed. This Tang Kuobian had previously kept a low profile. However, during the Hailing Mausoleum's coup, he had suddenly emerged as the biggest winner. Now, it seemed that this was not a fluke.
Following this, the group discussed a few more details about military affairs. When it was about time, Fu San Zhongyi and the others stood up and bid their farewells. After they left, Ouyang Feng finally spoke. "The Golden Snake Camp is one thing. Although those people fear their strength, they do not know of the relationship between you and that Song brat. Instead, it is Liao's side. What plan do you have to make them so busy that they have no time to march south?"
"I do not know either. It was just an excuse to send them away." At this time, 'Tang Kuobian' had regained her soft and pleasant voice. Song Qingshu immediately recognized that it was Ge Bi's voice.
"After so long, I am still not used to you speaking in such a sweet tone with Song brat's face." Ouyang Feng felt a chill run down his spine. "Then why did you say that? Wouldn't it be better to just send a general to guard against Liao?"
Ge Bi shook her head. "This time, the Southern Song Dynasty is almost planning to send out all their forces. Our main forces can only be placed in the south. In addition to guarding against the Red Coat Army, the Mongols, and the Western Xia, the remaining forces can be said to be stretched thin. I heard that the King of the Southern Courtyard of Liao is brave and skilled in battle. It would be useless for us to send anyone. Previously, Qingshu's secret letter told me that he would solve the threat of Liao. That's why I said that. "
"So it was Song brat's idea." Ouyang Feng suddenly snorted coldly. "This brat really knows how to be a hands-off boss. The Jin Kingdom is managed by you and your sister, the Golden Snake Camp is managed by the Ninth Princess, and even the recently acquired Yangzhou is managed by the little girl surnamed Zhou. He is free and easy to flirt with women all over the world."
Outside the window, Song Qingshu's face darkened. He thought to himself, 'You stinky toad, do you really have to defame me like this?'
Fortunately, Ge Bi spoke up for him. "Qingshu travels around the various countries, balancing the various powers and at the same time doing his best to strengthen himself. Every time, he is walking on a tightrope. The slightest mistake will lead to eternal damnation. I don't know about other things, but at least I know how much risk he took when he was in the Jin Kingdom. "
Hearing this, Song Qingshu's heart was filled with warmth. He thought to himself, 'Ge Bi is really the best wife. Not only is she beautiful enough to cause the downfall of cities and countries, she is also very understanding. She is really one in a million.'
Ouyang Feng snorted. "I don't know what kind of magic potion Song brat fed to you women, but you are all dead set on him. If only my Ke 'er had half of his … no, ten percent of his abilities, he wouldn't have fallen to such a tragic end."
Song Qingshu secretly sighed. He thought to himself, 'Ouyang Ke's death is a knot in his heart. I don't know how to resolve the hatred between him and the Guo couple. Sigh …'
"Who is it!" Ouyang Feng's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife. His whole body instantly rushed towards the window.
Feeling an earth-shattering internal energy rush towards him, Song Qingshu was shocked. He didn't have time to explain and hurriedly circulated his internal energy to meet the attack.
Stimulated by the internal energy, the window instantly burst open. The two of them exchanged several blows in an instant. Ouyang Feng was repelled by the force of the collision and was forced back three steps before regaining his balance. His face revealed a shocked expression, but when he saw Song Qingshu's face, his expression softened. "So it's you, you stinky brat!"
Song Qingshu laughed. "I haven't seen you for a long time, and your martial arts have improved by another level. I was just secretly sighing and you actually found out."
"You don't have to flatter me. I was still forced back several steps by you." Ouyang Feng had always been conceited, and his expression did not look too good.
