Chapter 680: Pursuit

But the good news is that Fu Nianjun's calmness and persistence will not be a visit to the Huai Palace.

On the contrary, the capital is still filled with the joy of winning the battle, and the emperor has also greatly crowned the meritorious heroes this time, and even the Fu family has been rewarded, perhaps in order to take care of the emotions of the Huai Wangfu, the emperor did not reward more, and the inside and outside of the Huai Wangfu are even quieter and weird during this time.

On this day, Guo Da came back, with a tired Zhang Jiucheng.

As soon as he entered the door, Guo Da knelt down in front of Fu Nianjun with tears streaming down his face.

"Princess, I'm sorry ......"

His voice was hoarse and piercing like a broken gong, and he didn't know how many days he had been on the road.

Fu Nianjun took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then asked Fangzhu to hand Guo Da a large pot of warm tea, and asked Yilan to hand him a hot cloth to clean the noodles.

She is still methodical at this time, Guo Da has seen many daughters-in-law in the general's family, and knows that her husband may not be able to come back, which one is not crazy and crying, only Fu Nianjun is so calm.

Guo Da didn't dare to go to rest with the half-fainting Zhang Jiucheng, he basically recounted the cause and effect with red eyes and a broken gong voice.

The battle with the Tangut people was almost no suspense, before the Tangut people poured out of the nest to besiege Weizhou, and even did not hesitate to use the chess pieces that had been hidden for a long time to create civil strife in Weizhou, wanting to come to the inside and outside, but did not expect that Zhou Yubai quickly controlled the situation in Weizhou, and the privy envoy Wang Yongcheng and others were not in the city.

The sneak attack on Weizhou failed, the Xixia people wanted to catch Princess Huai as a hostage, and by the way, they ate Yanzhou as the rear and then confronted Weizhou, who knew that they were held by Fu Nianjun with people, and later waited for Weizhou to be pacified, Zhou Yubai and Wang Yongcheng instead, Di Ming and others should be together, came a yellow finch behind, let the Tangut people die in their own trap, tens of thousands of elite soldiers who can march in the mountains are almost all wiped out, and the remaining army has also lost a lot around Juzhou, after Fu Nianjun left, Zhou Yubai and others returned to Weizhou to reorganize the army, and the Tangut people carried out the last battle, the Tangut people have broken up at this time, and there are rumors in the army that there are "gods" in the Song army, and it is actually several large-scale battles, and the Song army found that the combat effectiveness of the Tangut people is only vulnerable.

Of course, the so-called "gods", the bronze artillery contributed by Zhou Shaoyong and the gunpowder contributed by Zhang Tianshi are indispensable, but of course, the victory does not depend on this. Fu Nianjun also probably knew Zhou Yubai's tactics, he delayed this war for a few months, and even did not hesitate to spend his efforts to create Yanzhou as an empty bait for the Tangut people, because he knew that the military rations of the Tangut people could not last in the spring, and the artillery and gunpowder were just clever in the end, and to achieve a comprehensive victory in this war, it would take several months of layout, and the "plan in the plan" would be interlocking in order to recapture Yanzhou and other places in one fell swoop, and the military strength of the whole country in the Western Xia would basically be consumed.

Fu Nianjun could almost imagine thinking about and demonstrating to him over and over again in front of the map for countless nights, and fighting wits and courage with Zhou Shaoyong, who was separated by thousands of troops.

In the past, in the capital, there were only a few dozen people in their hands, but when they arrived at the border, it was hundreds of thousands.

Not everyone can afford such a bargaining chip.

Every time he thought of this, Fu Nianjun couldn't help but have sour eyes.

Guo Da continued to say that the Western Xia people had an army, that is, the Iron Harrier Army, which had terrified the Song army on the border, and drilled into Xiaoliang Mountain, Xiaoliang Mountain's terrain was treacherous, and it was Da Liao to drill through, and the other party's intentions were self-evident.

But at that time, Li Yuanzong, the prince of Western Xia, had surrendered, and the Iron Harrier Army did not protect him, the master, why did he escape?

Of course, Zhou Yubai understood that it was Zhou Shaoyong's person, and the retreat he arranged was to go to Liao.

Guo Da said that even General Di Ming did not approve of Zhou Yubai taking people to chase him, and only said that he would die in the mountains now, but Zhou Yubai insisted on this, and he also said, "If you can't bring him back, this kind of thing will happen in the future." ”

The war with Western Xia would also take place on the Liao-Song border.

Zhou Shaoyong will not have enough one day.

This is also a necessary struggle between the two of them, the overall situation Zhou Yubai has already won, look at the small situation arranged by Zhou Shaoyong, even if Zhou Yubai knows the hardships, he still has to go.

Guo Da originally wanted to go along, but on the morning of leaving, he was tied to a chair by his own brother Guo Xun and woke up, Guo Xun also asked him to bring a message before leaving, and only said: "Our Guo family has to keep your species, I am worthy of the short-lived father and mother, and the princess is still waiting for you to return to life, don't make a mistake." ”

Guo Da had no choice, his responsibility was to bring the news to Fu Nianjun.

After waiting for two days, Guo Dajiao got the news that Xiaoliang Mountain was covered by heavy snow, and in the loud noise that he could hear, the snow all over the mountain seemed to have fallen overnight.

The locals all showed infinite horror at this, saying that this was the snow god angry and the snow ate people, this kind of nonsense was interrupted by Guo Da angrily, and he was almost pressed to the ground by the soldiers of the army to calm and calm him, and finally got a desperate news from the mouths of the locals.

Is it easy for such thick snow to melt? people, not to mention people, even the gods and bodhisattvas must be buried under three feet.

At this time, Guo Da almost wanted to enter the mountain with the heart of death, but he was blocked, and the person who blocked him was none other than Qi Zhaoruo.

If Qi Zhao asked him to come back first to report to Fu Nianjun, he would take someone to find Zhou Yubai.

Just like Wang Yongcheng, Di Ming and others didn't stop Zhou Yubai, they still didn't stop Qi Zhaoruo.

Wang Yongcheng was so angry with these two princes and grandsons that he almost vomited blood, but he had no choice, I don't know when, these two juniors were actually in the army.

"You say...... Qi Zhaoruo has entered the mountain?"

Fu Nianjun repeated.

Guo Da agreed, and the conversation that day was like this:

"You don't want to die. Qi Zhaoruo said.

Guo Da was unconvinced: "Aren't you sent to death?"

Qi Zhaoruo seemed to have some confidence: "I'll go, of course I'm not sending it to death." ”

After all, the two established a friendship in the Battle of Dunzhou, and Guo Da rushed back non-stop after Qi Zhaoruo and others entered the mountain.

At this time, he trembled and took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Fu Nianjun.

One is from Zhou Yubai, and the other is Qi Zhaoruo.

Fu Nianjun didn't take it in a hurry, just hooked his lips, smiled a little desolately, and muttered:

"What letter do I want to see from him? I just want him to come back well......"

Guo Da seemed to be unable to hold back his tears when he heard her words, knelt on the ground and trembled, and said to Fu Nianjun:

"Princess, you must believe that His Highness will return safely!"
