    "Oh!" Zhou Ping nodded: "Hurry up your cavalry!" "Hurry up?"  , reorganized the troops under his command, and now there are two commanding infantry, one commanding archers, and two hundred cavalry. Although the establishment has not been completed yet, they have also set up a rack, adding up to 1,500 people, and Xue Liangyu  I am a cavalryman.  "Well!" Zhou Ping did not hide anything in front of Xue Liangyu: "Fang La will be captured, and the Mani thieves will be captured. It is only a matter of time. As soon as Tong Shuai returns to Beijing, the expedition against Liao will begin. It will be the end of this year and the beginning of next year."  It's over. The Khitan people are not easy to deal with! " "Don't worry, brother, it's up to me when the time comes!" Xue Liangyu waved his arms excitedly, turned around and rushed out the door.  "Husband!" Zhou Ping turned around and saw Yun Niang looking up at him, her eyes full of concern.  He smiled slightly, walked to sit next to his wife, reached out to hold her hands, and whispered: "Don't worry, I am doing this for our children. After defeating the Khitans, I will return to you, and I will come back to you again."  Don¡¯t separate either!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Looking at her husband¡¯s gentle eyes, Yun Niang nodded.  Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is already September of the third year of Xuanhe. A month ago, Yun Niang gave birth to a boy for Zhou Ping. At this time, his identity has changed. He is no longer a land guest at Xue Family Village.  Naturally, we had to hold a banquet with wine to entertain our colleagues and subordinates who came to congratulate us.  "It turns out to be Judge Hu, please come in quickly. My general is waiting for you in the hall!" In front of the gate of Zhou Ping's mansion, Xue Liangyu changed into a robe, wore a swastika on her head and stood in front of the mansion with a smile on her face.  , dressed like a butler, greeting all kinds of guests, sweating profusely from the business.  "Brothers of the Xue family!" A voice came from the right. Xue Liangyu turned around, forced out his habitual smile and asked: "May I ask who your guest is -" At this point, his voice suddenly stopped.  A genuine smile appeared on his face.  He took a few steps forward and held the opponent's arm, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the gentleman of the Ma family? Why are you here today?" The person who came was none other than Ma Kuo. He was throwing the reins in his hands to the followers behind him, smiling.  He said: "Why can't you come? A certain family had a business deal with Brother Zhou in Tokyo. He has already been regarded as a close friend. Today, his baby is one month old. It's not too much to come over and have a glass of wine, right?" "Not too much, not too much!  "Xue Liangyu said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Zhou said that you and Zen Master Zhishan are doing national affairs, so you may not be able to come. I just sent a message to Zen Master, but I didn't expect that you could find time to come!" "Haha!" Ma Kuo laughed!  He said: "The Zen master is not here, so a certain family came for him." At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice: "By the way, I have some business matters, and I want to ask my brother next week." Xue Liangyu immediately understood what the other party meant, and nodded quickly,  He called Luo Sheer to the side in a low voice and said in a low voice: "This Ma Shijun is an important person in the capital. You take him to the side courtyard and then tell the general, do you understand?" "I understand!  Luo Sheer responded and quickly led Ma Kuo and his entourage through the door. Then he went to sit down in the side courtyard and then went to Zhou Ping to accuse him.  Ma Kuo sat down and his maid brought him hot tea. He took a sip of tea, looked at the spacious and bright house and the neatly trimmed flowers and trees in the yard, and murmured in his mouth: "I didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few years, his life would be pretty good."  You're doing well!" While he was talking, someone hurried in from outside, and laughter could already be heard before he entered the door.  "It's a crime, it's a crime. When Brother Ma comes, a certain family didn't greet him at the door!" Zhou Ping walked quickly into the door as he spoke. He looked up and down at Ma Kuo, who was standing up from his chair. Compared with the two of them,  Years ago, this young man's face became rough and dark, like the hardest granite on the top of the mountain, and his shoulders and back became much thicker. Obviously, this young man did not spend the past two years in a Wase restaurant in Tokyo.  .  Zhou Ping couldn't help but stop and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ma, it's really hard to work for the state!" "We, the warriors, live on the emperor's salary and work for the king. It is our duty, so why bother?  "Yes?" Ma Kuo said with a smile, his eyes shining brightly, he stood up and bowed to Zhou Ping in salute, then stood up and said: "As long as the Han territory can be restored and the country is peaceful, it's okay to have to work harder!"  " "Okay, okay, okay!" Zhou Ping couldn't help but said hello three times, sat down with Ma Kuo, and asked, "I heard from She'er that you have something important to do this time. What is it?"  Zhou Ping nodded, but did not speak. He just glanced at the open door. Zhou Ping nodded knowingly, stood up and walked to the door and said in a deep voice to his entourage: "You don't need to wait here, go to the courtyard gate."  , Don¡¯t let anyone else come in!" After the people were gone, Zhou Ping closed the door and returned to his seat: "Brother Ma, you can say it now!"  "No one else, it's about Yan Yun!" Ma Kuo said in a low voice: "I don't hide it from Brother Zhou. This matter is very dangerous. You must think twice!" Zhou Ping did not answer immediately, but just lowered his head and thought.  After a while, he raised his head and said: "Some things must be done even if they are dangerous, don't you think? Brother Ma!" "Okay, okay!" Ma Kuo said with a smile: "The Zen master really did not misjudge the person, and  Listen to me tell you the whole story!" So Ma Kuo told the story.  It turns out that although the attitude of the Northern Song Dynasty toward the alliance with Jin to conquer Liao Dynasty was wavering, the diplomatic and intelligence work headed by Zhao Liangsi never stopped. Although he was born into a large Han family in Yan land, he had fled to the Southern Dynasties, but he had not been with the Southern Dynasties.  Yandi Han bureaucrats still maintain inextricable ties with each other.  If the attitude of these Han bureaucrats was not so clear a few years ago, in September of the third year of Xuanhe, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty not only suffered a series of defeats against the Jin army, but more importantly, he was bewitched by the sycophant Xiao Fengxian and executed  After marrying Concubine Wen of the Liao Dynasty and her son King Jin, who had always been a virtuous man, Yelu Yu, the deputy commander of the Liao army who was commanding the battle on the front line at the time, saw that the wife of Concubine Wen was the sister of Concubine Wen. After learning about it, he immediately led his troops and surrendered to the Jin army.  And led the Jin army to attack Yuanyangbo where Emperor Zuo of Liao Dynasty was located. Emperor Liao fled to Xijing in a panic and had completely lost control of Yanjing Road.  At this time, there were actually only two options left before the Han people in Yan: defecting to the Song Dynasty in the south or defecting to the ascendant Jin Kingdom in the north.  Zhao Liangsi's work of instigating rebellion has also progressed by leaps and bounds, so a plan has gradually taken shape, which is to contact the Han bureaucrats in Yan and launch a military coup in Yanjing City while the Northern Song army is suppressing the border. Capture the thieves first and capture the king, and restore Yan in one fell swoop.  land.  After listening to Ma Kuo's narration, Zhou Ping couldn't help but be stunned. Who said that ancient people had little knowledge and even practiced beheading?  "Brother Zhou, please don't worry. I just heard from the Zen Master that Brother Zhou is good at civil construction. He has also been to Youzhou City. I want Brother Zhou to help me. I don't need Brother Zhou to come in person to do the specific work!" Ma Kuo saw Zhou Ping lowering his head in thought.  Thinking that he regretted it a little, he hurriedly said.  "It's not that a certain family is timid!" Zhou Ping slowly shook his head: "It's just that I have been to Youzhou City. The Khitan people have been running this place for more than a hundred years. Most of the household registrations in the city are from the Xi and Khitan clans. It can be said that they are in line with the country.  How can it be so easy to accomplish things even if you have a few internal comrades? It would be bad if you and I lose our lives and ruin the national affairs!" "Juncheng doesn't know anything!  If our army goes north, they will go out to fight, and you and I will naturally take advantage of it. You don¡¯t know how many people are secretly collaborating with me in the Song Dynasty!" At this point, Ma Kuo's voice suddenly stopped!  Obviously, he thought that it would be bad to tell Zhou Ping too much at this time, and he couldn't help showing an uncomfortable look on his face.  But Zhou Ping waved his hand magnanimously: "If a king doesn't keep secrets, he will lose his country, and if ministers don't keep secrets, he will lose his identity. It's better to be careful about such things. Brother Ma can go back and tell Xianggong Zhao that as long as it is beneficial to the country, Zhou will  Don't fall behind others!" After about half a cup of tea, Luo Sheer's voice came from outside: "General, Chen Yunshi's envoy is outside the house." Zhou Ping responded and smiled at Ma Kuo:  "Shangguan is here. Someone has to go out to greet you. Brother Ma, please go to the house and take care of yourself. You won't come back until you're drunk today!"  .  Zhou Ping went out to welcome his superior's visitor in. As soon as he had some free time, he met Luo Sheer, who came quickly and asked in a low voice: "General, it's a bit strange to put the person named Ma in the room!" "It's strange? How do you say it?"  "How do you say that!" Luo Sheer frowned and replied: "It doesn't look like much at first glance, but if you look closely, it smells like blood. It looks like someone from the resentful army in the past!" Zhou Ping smiled slightly, no.  He replied that the boy he picked up from Yandi was a good dog, and he could smell his own kind from a distance.  "She'er, if I give you a chance to go back to Yandi, will you go?" "Go, of course I have to go!" Luo Sheer's eyes immediately turned red: "The blood feud with the Khitan dog, I can't stop it all the time.  I have not forgotten that those dog thieves who killed my father must be chopped off inch by inch!" Although several years have passed, Zhou Ping can still hear the sound of gnashing of teeth when this matter is mentioned.  "Well!" Zhou Ping patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile: "That's good, it won't be long before we can go to Yandi!" Having said this, Zhou Ping raised his head and looked to the north. The autumn scenery  In the sky, a group of wild geese were flying from the north, making bursts of geese calls. The sky in Yandi must have been so bright at this time. Thinking of this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but clenched his fists.  ??Yanjing, for this majestic city located at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, the third year of Xuanhe was not a peaceful year.  Since Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitans in the third year of Qingtai in the Later Tang Dynasty, although Yanjing was not the political center of the Liao Kingdom, it was.In the economic center, cattle, sheep, and furs from beyond the Great Wall; wood, ginseng, pearls, and pine nuts from Liaodong; copperware and paper fans from Goryeo; ironware, medicinal materials, and cloth from Yandi; porcelain and lacquerware from the Southern Dynasties, etc. are all gathered here.  .  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
