Chapter 31 Chapter 59 Encounter

Zhe girl is wearing a Hu suit with a lapel collar and a loincloth, pretty boots and a short train, she is very energetic.The clothes were still deep black, which set off her slightly cyan skin like suet and jade, making her white and moist.She has a petite figure, and looks straight like a girl when she wears a hu suit, but she has a charming and charming face, and her beautifully lined lips are like dried apricots, and she has an attractive smell. What she held in her hand was a dark white skull carved from ox bone. It was an auspicious ornament of a nomadic tribe outside the pass, but there was no market for this kind of thing in the Central Plains, and it was rare to meet someone who was interested in it. Customer, the boss spared no effort in selling, but unfortunately he exhausted his lips and tongue, the girl had a faint smile on her lips, she neither said to buy nor said she would not buy, but just looked at the thing over and over again, the girl didn’t even pay a penny. Said that the boss has automatically lowered his purchase price, but the discount girl is still noncommittal.

Ding Hao waved his hand and called out: Miss Zhe. Zhe girl looked up in surprise, and when she saw him, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and her face showed joy: Is it you?Ding is in charge. Ding Hao laughed and said: I thought the girl had returned to Fuzhou, but I didn't expect that she was still here.As he spoke, he went forward. Several big men in the crowd quickly approached him, but Zhe girl raised her hand to stroke the hair on her sideburns and put it down casually. guest. Originally, I was going back to Fuzhou, but my ninth uncle wanted to go to the north to do some business, buy some mink fur, musk, cordyceps, and things from outside the Great Wall of Dongzhu, and sell them back to Fuzhou, so I naturally wanted to go with him.As Zhe girl said, she turned around gracefully, and walked side by side with Ding Hao, casually and naturally, like an old friend.

Although my ninth uncle said, well, I have some errands in Zhe Dajun's mansion, but I have a big family, and if I don't do some business to earn some expenses, life is not easy.Zhe girl said with a smile. Going outside the customs?Ding Hao stopped in his tracks all of a sudden. Yes what's the matter?Zhe girl also stopped, and tilted her head to look at him, like a bird looking at a person, smart and clever. This Ding Hao hesitated for a moment, and asked: Your ninth uncle works in Zhe Dajun's mansion, uh, I haven't heard anything about it? Zhe girl's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked: What is the wind?

This is naturally in the army. Oh, my ninth uncle is just doing some housework for the general. He never inquires about the affairs of the army, and no one will tell him. It turned out to be like this.Ding Hao hesitated for a while, and finally said: In my opinion, you should advise Uncle Jiu not to go outside the pass.Our food team is stationed next to the Xicheng military camp. Seeing that the Guangyuan army has been mobilized frequently recently, I am afraid that they are going to use troops against the Tartars. When we leave the customs at this time, there will be a war. How will your uncles and nephews get out?

What happened?Miss Zhe said in amazement: The transfer of the army does not necessarily mean going out, but I still want to thank you for your kindness.Speaking of which, my ninth uncle decided to go outside the pass on a temporary basis, and the jewels, jade and furs he returned would also have a share in the general's mansion.Because this is a private matter, I didn't tell General Cheng to listen to it. Otherwise, if he really takes any action, he will definitely warn my Uncle Jiu not to leave the customs. I will tell Uncle Jiu later and ask him to ask General Cheng. That's good, Ding Hao felt relieved, and said with a smile: You are from the Zhe family, of course General Cheng will not hide it from you.Fortunately, if we hadn't met today, if your uncles and nephews really went out of the border in a daze, and the battle drums here would sound, and the grassland would be filled with smoke, it would be really unimaginable at that time, and it would be scary to think about it.

Zhe girl gave a chuckle and said: What are you afraid of when you go outside the pass? Cough as handsome as a girl, if you go outside the pass and there is a war, the rebels are bandits, God knows what will happen, why not be scary? Zhe girl snorted with a half-smile, and in a blink of an eye saw an old man walking towards carrying a stick with straw tied on it and many red candied haws stuck in it. Candy is really rare.Hey, how do you sell this candy? The old man stopped in his tracks and said with a smile: "Girl, this old man's candy is the cheapest in Guangyuan City. It costs a penny a bunch. Look at how good the boiled candy is."

Zhe girl said happily: OK, then you can get me a bunch. The old man hurriedly picked out a bunch of candied haws with a lot of sugar syrup hanging on them and handed them to her. Zhe girl took it in her hand, and after a moment's pause, she looked at Ding Hao and said coyly: "Uh, I don't have any money with me, can you lend me a penny?" This girl, there is no one who does not bring money when she goes to the market. It seems that her family education is too strict, or her pocket money is limited.Ding Hao paused in pity, and hurriedly took out a penny and handed it to the old man.

Zhe girl's eyes were bent, she lightly took a bite of the candied haws, glanced at Ding Hao, saw that he was looking at her with a smile, and said: Why don't you lend me another penny, and I'll ask you to eat one too. Well, it was the first time that Ding Hao saw such a treat. He smiled and took out another penny and handed it to the old man. He randomly picked up a piece of candied haws, walked away side by side with Zhe girl, and said with a joking smile: "Can I get the girl to invite you?" , I am honored to be here. It was Miss Zhe who spoke out loudly, while biting the sweet and sour candied haws, she smiled and said: You are honored to go, you are the first one who can let this girl treat you.

Ding Hao laughed out loud when he heard the words, Miss Zhe also pursed her lips, waiting for him to stop laughing, she said: Hey, what do you think, if the imperial court really wants to send troops to the Northern Expedition, will it be the Han Dynasty or the Khitan people?What are the odds? Ding Hao thought about it for a while and said: If you want me to see, the possibility of conquering the Northern Han Kingdom is more likely.Didn't it mean that the Khitans were in civil turmoil? If the imperial court sent troops to crusade at this time, they would be fulfilled instead.I think that neither General Zhe from Fuzhou nor the official from Tokyo City would do such a stupid thing.

Zhe girl smiled, and her smile raised a pair of intoxicating dimples, her snow-white and tender face was quite charming: So do you think the imperial court sent troops to attack the Northern Han Dynasty? It is very possible that the Khitan people regarded the Northern Han Dynasty as an area of ​​relaxation between the Great Song Dynasty and the other country. Once the Great Song Dynasty attacked the Northern Han Dynasty, they sent troops to help, and this was the purpose.However, if the imperial court does not directly send troops to fight Khitan, but to take the Northern Han, the Khitan people will not feel pain, and many tribal chiefs who have no vision, if they are asked to make a choice before the emperor's throne and the Northern Han, they will inevitably abandon the Northern Han. In this way, the imperial court may take advantage of the endless civil strife among the Khitan people to completely solve the Northern Han Dynasty.

oh?Zhe girl put her little hand behind her back, her face was quite playful and sly: Although there are only three or five cities left in the Northern Han Dynasty, under the protection of the Khitan people, and they themselves have quite a few capable A general who is good at fighting has always been in danger.Are you that confident?How can we predict that our army will win? Ding Hao knew that the Northern Han Dynasty in history was indeed wiped out at about this time, and coupled with the Khitan civil strife, there was no time to take care of them, so it is possible to eliminate them, so he said: Although the Northern Han Dynasty still has certain strength, it is not the enemy of the Song Dynasty.As long as the Khitan people have no time to take care of them and are about to perish, it's no big deal.However, sooner or later, the Great Song Dynasty will face the Khitans directly. The Tang Kingdom and the Southern Han Kingdom in the south are all vulnerable opponents. The only strong enemy of the Great Song Dynasty in the future is the Khitan.Once in direct contact with the forces of the Khitan people, I am afraid that the frontier will not just be as simple as hitting grass valleys. Zhe girl lowered her head slightly, listening to his analysis, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.It is not uncommon for her to draw this kind of analysis from the various materials she has, but it is extraordinary for Ding Hao to have such knowledge and insight.It is often heard that a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. It was in the Taiping period, and what he knew was some general principles. However, if he did not have an understanding of the situation in various places, it would be difficult to be so sure about his analysis.He is a small manager, where did he get such profound knowledge? When the Song Dynasty first established the country, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty racked their brains, and finally the prime minister Zhao Pu presented a country name. As a result, this country name has been used for a long time. Suddenly, someone told Zhao Kuangyin that this country name was used by the Shu Kingdom a few years ago, and Zhao Kuangyin was so angry. It’s not about the nose and the face, so many civil and military ministers can’t remember what country titles other countries used in the past few years. It can be seen that even the political situation in various places was quite closed at that time, and the officials in the court did not know the details.This Ding Hao is not easy. While thinking about it, Zhe girl said casually: "Then what do you think, if we face the Khitans, what are our chances of winning?"
