"You haven't told me yet, what are you going to do?"

The little girl doll sat on the desk and looked at him with a serious face. The half-grown boy stood next to the desk, pressing the edge of the desk with one hand and patrolling the simple northwest defense map with the other, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"How's it going?" He glanced down at her, and there seemed to be some narrowness in his eyes. It's spring now, and the steep spring cold is wrapped in ice slag, blowing people shivering. The little doll was wrapped in a snow-white jacket, only half of her face was exposed, and a pair of dark eyes stared at him, and she could faintly feel her worry and uneasiness.

The young man stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of her nose gently: "Little villain, spying on the military is a serious crime. ”

She covered her nose and stared at him wide-eyed. The young man's hands were clean and white, faintly revealing the strength of the force. Seeing her like this at this time, the young man couldn't help but laugh lowly, coughing while laughing: "Cough, cough...... I haven't seen you in a long time. ”

He smiled, pressed his chest against his chest, and coughed intermittently.

In the second month after Han Qi left, the Tanguts came over to harass him again. This time, without Han Qi pressing the formation, Gao Su personally led people and taught the Western Xia people a lesson. The Tangut people had never seen him play so fiercely and sharply, and within two days he was beaten back to the depths of the Gobi, obediently cowering in his old nest and not daring to come out, waiting for Emperor Song to send someone to negotiate peace with them.

In exchange for his victory, the boy himself was wounded, pale, and still not well.

The little girl looked at him gravely for a moment, jumped off the desk, and staggered to a corner of the room, where she fetched medicine and cotton cloth. She held out the objects to the young man's eyes and shook them, signaling that she wanted to change his dressing. The young man sat down on the low couch with familiarity, untied his collar, removed his robe and middle coat, and a faint voice came from her ears:

“…… It's just a piece of paper. In the early years, the Liao and Song Dynasty negotiated peace, and the current Song and Xia peace negotiations, there is no difference. I heard that after General Han returned to Bianliang, he immediately wrote to the emperor to discuss the eight new policies, and offended all the redundant officials up and down. It's not hard to guess that they're going to take a knife out of redundancy. ”

The little doll held a white porcelain medicine bottle, picked out a little ointment from it, and smeared it on the boy's chest.

She seems to be used to it, and her movements are very skillful.

The young man said lightly: "It's not good to make the Xixia people rampant anymore. They will make peace, and they will only discuss them. But if the Tangut people dare to add an additional agreement, I will take someone to beat them for a while. The barbarism in the army is not as soft as the crepe in Bianliang City. ”

This is a bit of anger.

The young man looked down at the little doll in front of him, and the three-point smile in his eyes slowly turned into ten: "...... It's just A-Yao, when will you grow up? Later, he said two words vaguely, but Yun Yao was busy and didn't hear clearly.

The little doll finished his waist for him, sat down beside him upright, and asked, "You, aren't you afraid?" ”

Under the dim candlelight, her expression became more and more worried, and her glowing eyes fell on him, and those dark eyes gradually became a little cunning.

The smile on the young man's face widened a little, and he nodded the tip of her nose affectionately: "I'm not alone in the northwest." ”

"Huh?"

"Have you ever heard of Di Qing's name?"

Yun Yao obediently closed her mouth. Di Qing, she naturally knows Di Qing. The only general who entered the Privy Council as a military general and made immortal contributions in the Northern Song Dynasty's war against Western Xia, but the ending was quite bleak.

Chang Gong suddenly mentioned Di Qing, could it be that Di Qing is also in the northwest?

"He's Fan—a military general who was personally promoted." The boy slowly stroked the top of her head and whispered. He had heard of Di Qing's name for a long time, but at that time, he heard it as a story. It is said that this general Di Qing, like him back then, likes to wear a copper mask, and was born brave, but in just over ten years, he has gained a firm foothold in the Song army, and he is not under the king of Lanling back then.

But no matter what, when he heard the word Di Qing, he always had a strange feeling in his heart.

As if it were ...... It's like seeing a junior who has the same disease.

When the boy thought of this, he suddenly heard a soft "belch", and when he looked down, he found that the little doll was poking his chest unhappily, and his fingertips were stained with crystal ointment, as if he was not satisfied with his movements. He chuckled lowly for a moment, leaned back, and let her re-tie the cotton cloth for him, and carefully put on his middle coat.

After all that had happened last night, the boy took his little doll in his arms, blew out the candle, and fell into a deep sleep.

The little doll leaned into his arms and sighed. Growing small is this disadvantage, and it will be used as a pillow from time to time......

Thinking about it, she also slowly fell asleep.

After some time, two envoys came to Bianliang City, who were said to have negotiated peace with Yuanhao of Western Xia on behalf of the official family.

During the peace talks, the young man held his little doll and sat motionless in the tent, bending his fingers and gently tapping on the desk. As soon as he signed the agreement, he was sent to his desk. He glanced at it a few times, his gaze darkening.

Scold......

The young man quietly pushed away the peace agreement, slowly rolled up the map on the desk, looked down at the little doll in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay for A-Yao to go to Hexi with me?" ”

Hexi was the lost territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now it is occupied by the Western Xia.

The little doll blinked and asked softly, "What are you going to do there?" ”

The young man smiled deeply: "Naturally, it's a herding horse." ”

The Great Song Dynasty was weak, and the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty was originally a rebel general of the Tang Dynasty, and he firmly occupied a large area. If you want to tear up this agreement and completely crush the Xixia people here, it is natural to go to the land west of the river, and it is the best choice.

She sighed softly, took out three copper coins from her arms, and carefully divined them.

The hexagram is presented as Shangji.

The turquoise tortoise shell was still hidden on her chest by her, but now that she was getting along with Gao Su day and night, she didn't dare to use the tortoise shell for divination at will, so she reluctantly replaced it with copper coins. When the boy heard the sound of the copper coin falling to the ground, he thought that she had inadvertently dropped the coin and didn't care.

At this time, Gao Su received a letter from Bianliang City.

It is Han Qi's letter. He wanted to entrust his daughter to Gao Su.

The moment he received the letter, Gao Su was stunned, and even Yun Yao herself was stunned.

“…… He—He entrusted me to you? Yun Yao gently smoothed the letter, and read it back and forth many times, the handwriting on it was clear and the meaning was clear, it was obvious that Han Qi had sensed something and wanted to entrust his little daughter to a trusted person. When she thought of the doomed coup d'état, she felt like she had been pricked by a needle, and there was a slight pain.

The boy noticed her strangeness, lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She bit her lip and said softly, "What if...... What if the father fails? ”

The boy took her in his arms, wrapped his arms around her little body, and sighed, "I will do everything I can to help your father." Ah Yao, I have talked with Han Lang a few times at night, and I raised my hands in favor of some of his initiatives. ”

He lowered his head, looked at his doll, and smiled, "And I also gave him some advice." ”

What he was thinking in his heart, Yun Yao couldn't guess for the time being. But Gao Su's hand caressed the top of her head one by one, and the palm of the hand was dry and warm, and it didn't take long for her to feel drowsy. She found a place in Gao Su's arms, gently poked at her father's letter, and asked in a low voice, "Have you decided to help your father?" ”

The young man nodded slowly, and sighed heavily.

"But you're not in Bianliang right now."

"A-Yao." The young man called her in a low voice and smiled: "There are some things that don't have to be done in Bianliang. I asked for an order to go to Hexi, and came here quietly with my soldiers, guess what? ”

He winked at her and smiled, "Naturally, it's to echo your father." ”

Echoing each other from afar, Yun Yao couldn't understand it for the time being.

However, the results shown on the copper coin hexagram are really auspicious.

Yun Yao has a good habit, that is, when she doesn't understand, she won't drill the horns. She obediently stayed by Gao Su's side, was raised by him little by little, and watched him cut off the supply lines of the Western Xia Kingdom with his own hands, forcing the two great generals of the Western Xia Kingdom into a corner, and had to ask the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom to come forward, and there was nothing else in her heart except admiration and emotion.

Gao Su really did as he said, and firmly blocked the army of the Western Xia Kingdom in the land west of the river.

Not only that, but he was also like a blue wolf with snow-white claws, pushing the border between the Northern Song Dynasty and Western Xia to the west little by little.

According to Gao Su's statement, what if the Song lord recognized the establishment of the Western Xia state? But as long as he was in the northwest for a day, the lord of Western Xia would not want to get a favor.

I don't remember who said that a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep.

Yuanhao of Western Xia is naturally not a sheep, but the war between Western Xia and Song has been stuck in the Hexi area.

After decades of rebellion, the Western Xia Kingdom finally kicked a real iron plate.

At this time, it has been seven years since Han Qi returned to Bianliang. Seven years is enough time for Gao Su to grow up. is enough for Han and Fan's new policies to be accepted by the emperor, and it is also enough for the civil officials in the court to unite and oppose their Qingli new policies.

But unlike in history, this time, they have an extremely powerful reinforcement.

The two generals in the west joined forces to force the most elite army of the Western Xia Kingdom into a desperate situation, and the Song army drove straight into the capital of the Western Xia, and the Western Xia Yuanhao had no choice but to be captured, and the Song army took over the homeland of the Western Xia Kingdom and opened up the only way to the Western Regions.

Hexi Corridor.

——————————————

"Ahead is Bianliang City."

The young general raised his horsewhip slightly, pointed to the bustling city in front of him, and looked sideways at the young man beside him.

The little boy hung his head, straightened his collar, tried to hide the fact that he had no Adam's apple, and glanced behind him secretly. She was dressed as a woman, and behind her was the lord and nobles of the Western Xia Kingdom, and this time they returned to Bianliang, and no one was alarmed.

"Are you sure?" She asked softly.

The young general retracted his gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc:

"It's a precious gift and they'll love it."

At the same time, it is also a precious knocking brick, which can be used to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.
