"Don't say it's quite fragrant!" Someone exclaimed as he smelled the scent of the barbecue gradually emitted.

"Don't you even see how much is my spice cost?" said the part-time chef team member.

Just as everyone was just eating dry food, the black tiger playing in the stream suddenly rushed ashore and screamed at everyone.

"Be wary!!" Chen Liu immediately shouted his order.

Everyone threw down the food in their hands, either pulled out long swords, or raised long spears, and crossbow archers began to load arrows.

"Black Tiger! Come here!" The dog breeder greeted Black Gray.

"Wang!!" The black tiger barked again, then lowered his head and bit a stone from the grass, and ran to everyone.

Put the stone at the foot of the breeder, "Wang! Wang!..." The black tiger's tongue stretched out, and its tail was shaking like a fan.

"This is...!" Everyone was shocked when they saw the stone.

"Dog head gold!!" The breeder picked up the stone and looked at the dark golden light reflected in the sunlight.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Taosha! Taosha!" Chen Liu ordered loudly excitedly.

Everyone didn't care about eating anymore, so they quickly took out the tools to wash sand and started working in the stream next to them.

Soon, a large cage of river sand was washed away, leaving a few golden grains of sand in the dustpan.

"We found it!!" Chen Liu shouted loudly.

"Hahahaha!! We found it!"

"I've got rich! I've got rich!"

…

The team members yelled like crazy.

After his emotions calmed down a little, Chen Liu looked at the black tiger, and the dog breeder was holding it and rubbing his head.

Chen Liu rushed to the front, snatched the dog's head, and kissed him hard: "Heihu, you have made great contributions this time. After you go back, I will give you a month! No! A year of venison!"

"Captain, eating venison is not enough, it will get tired of it." Some team members joked.

"Yes, yes! You can eat whatever you want, and you can eat whatever you want. As long as you can buy it, you will be given all of it." Chen Liu was very excited.

"Captain, didn't you just say that the government gave enough food?" The breeder teased with a smile.

"That's what, our black tiger can only eat those dog foods. We must improve the food and make great improvements." Chen Liu was not angry. Now, no joke could stop the excitement in his heart.

According to the military government's reward system for the discovery of minerals, Chen Liu, a small team, can directly retire and enjoy life starting today. The generous bonus, even if you eat meat every meal, is enough for these people to eat for several lifetimes.

The news came back to Kestone Town, and soon, a large group of prospecting teams arrived at the stream where the golden sand was discovered.

Everyone dispersed and looked up the stream. They soon found a river with higher levels of gold sand. At this point, it was initially confirmed that the gold mine was nearby.

The good news was sent to Guangzhou and Xuzhou. Soon, larger personnel were sent here. Jishi Town was upgraded to Jishi County and became one of the military government's heavy industry development bases.

...

June 29th.

Boxing County, Qingzhou, is located on the south side of the Jishui River bank, only more than 100 miles away from the Jishui River estuary.

Along the way, Zhao Gou's soldiers were reduced by more than 30% of their non-combat soldiers, and most of them escaped at night.

Many soldiers who knew that Zhao Gou planned to leave Hebei by boat were in a very unstable mood. No soldier was willing to leave his hometown and travel thousands of miles away when his hometown was still in war.

The sky gradually became darker. Because the weather was already very hot, the army did not set up camp tents, and the soldiers had to sleep outside and spend this stuffy summer night.

Han Shizhong and several officers surrounded a fire, and a hare was roasting on it. Everyone was waiting for the hare to cook so that they could improve the food.

These dozen officers probably don’t get one or two meats, but they are still meaty.

"I heard that the officials have frequently received envoys from the Jin Kingdom recently." During the chat, an officer changed the topic.

"I have also heard that there is a rumor in the army that we were able to arrive in Qingzhou successfully this time because the officials and the Jin Kingdom reached an alliance, and Wanyan Zongbi did not stop him."

"General Han, I don't know if these are true." An officer asked Han Shizhong.

As Wang Yuan’s confidant general and Wang Yuan as Zhao Gou’s most trusted military officer, everyone thinks that Han Shizhong should know more.

That's right, Han Shizhong did know more. He also saw the officials meet with Jin envoys and listened to them discussing how to deal with the Chen family army with his own eyes.

In the past, the Song and Jin dynasties united to destroy the Liao Kingdom.

Now, the Song and Jin have once again abandoned their past grudges and planned to join forces to fight against the Chen family army.

However, this made Han Shizhong feel disgusted and unable to say it.

"I, like everyone else, have heard some rumors." Han Shizhong's face was gloomy. He couldn't figure out how Zhao Gou could cooperate with the enemy who killed his father and his brother, even for the sake of survival.

"It's not wrong. This time, Wanyan Wu Qimai wrote a letter to Zhao Gou, admitting that he broke his promise and did not return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. He promised that as long as Song State formed an alliance with the Jin State and destroyed the Chen thieves, he would not only be willing to remove the Jin soldiers used in Song and return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to Song State, but also promised that the Jin State and Song State would be brotherly countries in the future and no longer required Song State to pay annual tributes every year." Some officers were well-informed, and the basics of what they said were not different from the facts.

The sixteen states of Yanyun here were after the two countries jointly defeated Liao. Wanyan Aguda agreed and had to return it to the State of Song, but Wanyan Aguda suddenly passed away. His fourth brother Wanyan Wu Qimai refused to accept it after he came to power and sent troops south to invade Song.

"Can the words of the Jin people be believed?"

This question is a common question for everyone present. At the same time, all the officers present did not think that the words of the Jin people were credible.

"The official family used to be a magistrate in the Jin Kingdom and trusted the Jin people more." Someone said.

"Isn't this just drinking poison to quench thirst?" someone sighed.

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Even if there is no Jin Man and Chen Thief is so aggressive, what can we do?" Someone felt helpless.

"Why can't there be any way? Everyone is a physical body. If the big blade is cut, Chen Thief still can't stand it, just beat him." Han Shizhong was a little angry.

Han Shizhong is a man with a magnificent figure and a brave man. He was born in poverty and applied to join the army at the age of 18.

He was brave and good at fighting, had a strategic mind, and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty in the wars of the Western Xia and Jin dynasties, and made significant contributions to the quelling of rebellions in various places.

His current position is made by himself with one sword and one shot. His years of military experience made him believe that peace cannot be exchanged for negotiations.

"It's easy to say. Chen Zhe even defeated the Jin people. We can beat them there." An officer retorted.

"So what about the Jin people? It's not that I haven't beaten..." Han Shizhong raised his argument until he lost his confidence.
