Song Gexing

Chapter 268 Another great joy
On March [-]rd of the fifth year of Xining, the Song and Liao Dynasties finally reached an agreement, and all the Guangshun Army's [-] Pishi Army and their descendants returned to the Liao Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Asu came forward and persuaded the remaining 8000 soldiers of other tribes, and got [-] people to stay and join the private army of the fifth family of the Xiao family, but they no longer had the title of army.

The remaining [-] soldiers and their families went south and entered Bazhou to disguise themselves as Song troops. Then the Liao Kingdom lost news of these people.

Hu Yanqing, the guard of Bazhou in the Song Dynasty, was the great-grandson of Hu Yanzan. It was not the Hu Yanqing in the novel who personally took these people to Shandong.

Along the way, troops continued to appear and then leave. The last time they appeared was in Qingdao, and then disappeared over the vast sea. The information that the Liao Kingdom could obtain was that these people were sent to Jeju Province.

In fact, Zhao Fang is not so stupid. The Guangshun Army is a pure cavalry army. How could it be possible to send all of them to Jeju Province? They only sent Jurchen soldiers and a small number of people who were willing to go there.

The rest of the people were replaced along the way, and most of these people who were replaced went to the northwest, and a few went to Bianjing City.

Two months later, Zhao Fang took Xiao Guanyin, Xiao Momo and Xiao Lingge to the Longxiang Army station, where 980 a Guangshun Army officer was waiting.

"Yes, Hu Yanqing is good at selecting people. These are the best of the best!"

Zhao Fang turned around and praised Hu Yanqing to the three Xiao girls, and then he was immediately dumbfounded because a group of people rushed out from the Long Xiang army who were watching outside, and a child shouted loudly: "Auntie!"

Zhao Fang turned around and saw a beautiful woman riding on a horse, with a seven or eight-year-old boy in front of him waving his hands and shouting.

Xiao Guanyin was also stunned. When the visitor arrived, she was surprised and said: "This... you are Gu Duo'er! Why are you here? You are not..."

Zhao Fang was really dumbfounded. He had heard this name before. It was Xiao Ala's eldest son, Xiao Guduo. He was actually only five years old this year.

"Auntie, dad asked his nephew to come and join auntie..."

Xiao Guanyin burst into tears. Just last month, she received news from the Liao Kingdom that her nephew had died. She didn't expect to see him here now.

This was the first time she saw her nephew, but the facial features vaguely resembled her own, and the unclear blood relationship made her immediately sure that this was her nephew.

The beautiful woman was Xiao Guduo's wet nurse. After her explanation, Zhao Fang and the others knew what had happened, and they immediately looked at each other dumbfounded.

After a long while, Zhao Fang slapped his forehead and said, "Zhang Zihou! This guy must have done it. Ziping is an upright man and would not do such an outrageous thing."

Zhang Dun, who was far away in Jeju Province, suddenly shivered, closed his eyes, counted the date, and grinned: "The officials must be scolding me, but this is for the sake of the officials, so feel free to scold me if you like."

Zhang Dun's ability is superb, and he will never lose to Han Qi, Fu Bi and others among the many famous officials and generals in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, what he left in history is the bad reputation of treacherous officials, which has something to do with his character.

This guy is an unscrupulous person, as long as he thinks it is beneficial, he doesn't care about the bad impact it will have on other people.

Historically, he and Su Shi wore the same pair of trousers, but during the Xining Reform, he still drove Su Shi out of Bianjing and demoted him to another place.

"No, no one in the Liao Kingdom must know about this, otherwise my brother-in-law and his family will be in danger."

Zhao Fang, who had regained his composure, immediately became alert. While asking Gao Jujian to investigate who else knew Xiao Guduo's identity, he yelled at Zhang Dun for being a bastard.

"Change your name first. You can no longer name him Xiao. Let's call him Zhao... Zhao Jizong. Let's just say he is my cousin's son and he was adopted in the palace."

Zhao Fang made a prompt decision, changed his name on the spot and asked Xiao Guduo to call him uncle, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xiao Guduo's nanny's next words broke her guard immediately. She only heard her say: "Gao Zhongjian, the former deputy commander of the Guangshun Army, selected seven female relatives in the army and dared to invite officials' subordinates to comfort the soldiers. heart of."

"What! You, you...are I such a lustful person?" Zhao Fang's face was filled with disbelief. He turned to look at Xiao Guanyin and the others. Xiao Momo chuckled: "If it's not the official family, then who is it? Anyway, I feel that Yes."

"You...are so mad at me."

Xiao Guanyin sighed softly and said: "It is inevitable for them to have such concerns. After all, their ancestors have been from the Liao Kingdom for generations, and their ancestors even fought to the death with the Song Dynasty."

Of course Zhao Fang knew this. Over the past 100 years, the Liao and Song Dynasties had fought many times. These people were private armies, but they were only included in the private army in Yelushuo ancient times.

It is not impossible for the previous generations to serve in the Liao army, but it is a high probability. It is inevitable to fight with the Song Dynasty.

Besides, they must be feeling uneasy now that they have left their hometown. Zhao Fang can only feel relieved if he accepts them.

Helpless, Zhao Fang became the groom again that night. Among the seven women, two were Han Chinese from the north, three were from Bohai, and one was from Xi tribe and one from Shiwei.

This was the first time that Zhao Fang met the Shiwei people. At this time, the full name of Shiwei was Mengwu Shiwei, and he was basically the same as the later Mongols.

In fact, Shiwei and Khitan have the same origin, and they are both descendants of the Xianbei people. They just merged with different ethnic groups, so there are slight differences in language and customs.

The difference in appearance is even greater, because the Khitans are closer to the Central Plains and have integrated with the Han people since the Tang Dynasty, so they look the same as the Han people.

Most of the Shiwei people were nomads on the grasslands, and they had little interaction with the Jurchens at this time.

Therefore, in ancient times, the appearance of Mongolians was still very different from that of Han people, but by the late Qing Dynasty, there was basically no big difference.

They have broad faces, flat noses, slender eyes, and round waists that don’t look like bucket waists, because they have high breasts and fat hips, which make their waists look thicker.

The one who can be singled out is naturally not ugly, it's just different from the Han Khitan people. Zhao Fang doesn't think she is ugly and likes her simple taste.

Because the name was long and awkward, Zhao Fang changed her name to Zhao Ling'er. From then on, there was an additional concubine named Zhao in the Song Palace. This is a later story.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the sixth year of Xining. The Dragon Boat Festival had just passed, and Han Qi and others trotted all the way to Chongzheng Hall.

"The official family is very happy! The official family is very happy..."

Zhao Fang, who was reviewing the memorial, raised his head in surprise: "What can make my Minister humerus so happy!"

"Good thing! Great thing, the Gaochang Uighurs have surrendered!"

Wang Gongchen shouted loudly. Zhao Fang was startled and stood up suddenly: "Really? Aren't they always arguing? Why are they so happy this time?"

"Hahaha……"

Han Qi smiled happily, but Fu Bi said: "Their old Khan has passed away, and the new Khan who succeeded him is his second son..."

"It's him! No wonder."

Zhao Fang was surprised and nodded in understanding.
