In the early winter of Hexi, the sky is as blue as a wash, and the goshawk hovers in the middle of it, disappearing at the end of the sky. The sparse shrubs that line the official road from the snow-capped mountains to the south and the endless Gobi Desert to the north are dotted with countless dead trees that look dead but come alive again the following spring.

The camel bells kept ringing, and a group of men and horses, about two or three hundred people, came from east to west, and the camels were loaded with goods, and carried forward with heavy loads, apparently from the east.

On a camel walking slowly in the middle, Zheyue Xiu was wearing a light veil on his head, holding a newspaper in his hand, and was reading intently.

"At this time, the circulation of heavenly fortune, the Central Plains is vigorous, and among the billions of trillions, when a saint is born, the Hu Lu is expelled, China is restored, the Chen Ji is established, and the people are relieved. In this era, I have not heard of anyone who governs the world and the people, and the envoys are trembling, and they are in the land of the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, and they can be honest.

To this Henan cloth, because of the chaos in the world, pushed by the public, led the division to cross the river, the people are a little safe, the food is a little sufficient, the soldiers are a little fine, the strings are controlled, the people of China are displaced, and they are deeply guilty. The world is turbulent, and he dares to be at peace, so he wants to send troops to the north to chase Hu Lu, save the people from the misery, and restore the prestige of the Han officials. Therefore, the first notice: the soldiers are coming, and the people should not avoid them. The order is serious, there is no offense, those who belong to me will always be in China, and those who carry me will run outside the plug. Cover my Chinese people, and heaven will command my Chinese people to be in peace, and how can they be governed! I am afraid that the Middle Earth will be filthy and bloody for a long time, and the people will be disturbed, so he will lead the heroes to work hard to clear up, aiming to chase away the Hulu, eliminate the riots, so that the people can get their place, snow the shame of China, and the people will wait for their bodies.

For example, the party item, the Chu clan, and the female straight, although they are not of the Chinese race, but between the same heaven and earth, there are those who can know the Chinese etiquette and righteousness, and are willing to be subjects, which is no different from the people of Zhongxia. Therefore, I would like to inform you that it is advisable to know. ”

In the third year of Jingku, Li Yuan, a member of the party, defeated Tuchu and occupied Hexi and Lanzhou. In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Song Shenzong took advantage of the civil strife in the Western Xia court to transfer troops to attack Xia and recover Lanzhou. Since then, although the Song and Xia have been fighting across the river and attacking each other, the two sides of the Shieba and the "Harmony City" have always existed. Between the Song and Xia dynasties, in addition to the push fields of the security army and the Zhen army, there were also "He cities" on the borders of various places to provide normal trade between the two countries.

This is the case with the "He City" outside Lanzhou. The Xia people needed the silk, cloth, tea, porcelain, lacquerware and other things of the Song people, while the Song people needed the cattle, sheep and horses of the Xia people, jade felt carpets and other things, and the two sides could be said to complement each other.

With a mouthful of party words, coupled with the customs of the party people, and the gold and silver opened the way, it was easy to get acquainted with the officials in the "and city" of the Western Xia, and mixed into the Western Xia, called buying and selling, and inspecting the people's customs and customs, but it was actually for other purposes.

Although Cao Yun and Jia San are Han Chinese, the Western Xia is quite sinicized, and the domestic party and nobles compete to speak Chinese, and the Han people stand about half, so it is not abrupt.

"If you want me to say, you don't need to come here, big boss, it's enough for the brothers. You might as well stay in Lanzhou City, and save yourself the wind and sun on the way, and the journey is tiring!"

Seeing Zhiyuexiu alone on the back of a camel, Cao Yun, who was covered with wind and frost, whispered on the side.

For this goods, the other party has already paid half of the fixed price, and the rest can be done by a few of them.

Zheyuexiu smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Why did she risk her life to come to this Hexi Corridor, the important place of the Western Xia people?

Wang Song led the army north to rescue, but almost died outside the city of Fuzhou, she could only sit in the city and do nothing. If Wang Song really dies in battle, she is afraid that she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Isn't he going to be Emperor Qin and Han Wu, in this life, as long as he can help him achieve great things, he will die, and he will have no regrets."

Zhiyuexiu sighed, suddenly lost.

I don't have the courage of Zhao Duofu. The reputation is there, the face is taken care of, the center is sour, and only self-knowledge is known.

Although Wang Song's feelings for the Song family made her incomprehensible

, it is a kind of paranoia engraved in the bones, stubbornness that knows what cannot be done. But she knew that Wang Song wanted an empire as majestic as the Han and Tang Dynasties, not a cowardly dynasty in a corner of peace and bloodlessness.

Women are pleasing to themselves, not to mention not afraid of life and death.

Wang Song didn't care about life and death for her, and she was infamous all over the world, and she had nothing to repay, so she had to do something for him in a down-to-earth manner.

heard that Wang Song and Zhao Duofu had been married, but in addition to being sad, she did not have half a bit of resentment.

The encounter on Luoyang Road, a wisp of tenderness on the iron-blooded battlefield, still made her stunned when she thought about it.

This situation can be recalled, and the memory of life in the sound of broken intestines, everything has become a passing cloud, and you can only recall it alone.

Jia Yelitao, a party businessman on the side, looked at the beautiful Folding Moon Show on the camel's back, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

This woman is beautiful, but she is a delicate flower with thorns, which cannot be picked. She is generous, and she is her own food and clothing parents, of course, she will not cut off her personal wealth.

Just look at the attendants who accompanied her, all of them were fierce and murderous, he had a thief's heart, and he didn't have the courage to be a thief.

Seeing that Yeletta's gaze turned around, Zheyuexiu instantly regained her composure, her eyes rolled, and the camel leaned towards Jeretau's side.

"Brother Yeli, I heard that the Song soldiers entered the Hulu River Valley and occupied Xiao Pass, you have to plan for your family. Your youngest son is only three years old. ”

"Who said no, brother, my heart is really up and down."

Speaking of family, Jereta suddenly came to the spirit. A man in his 40s is worried about the pair of children at home.

"The Song army garrison is only more than 300 miles away from Xingqing Mansion. Lanzhou City and Zhuo Luo City are only separated by a Yellow River, and it is easy for the Song army to kill them. Brother, I'm just a small trader, what can I do!"

Ye Litao's face was a little pale, and he sighed: "If this batch of goods is finished, I will take my family to move to Xiliang Mansion, it is always safer."

Zheyuexiu shook her head secretly. This Yeleth's guards of dozens of people can open up the relationship between the government and the military, and his energy cannot be underestimated. He was all panicked, let alone ordinary people in Hexi.

The two of them said in party terms, although Cao Yun on the side didn't know what the two said, he also knew that it must be related to side affairs.

The Song army was like a bamboo, and Zhuo Luocheng was only separated by a river. It seems that Orizuki Xiu has used psychotherapy again.

"Brother Jerich, that's not a good idea. If you think about it, Pingxia City and Xiao Guan are both one-man passes, and they can't be opened, and they haven't been broken by the Song army in one day. Hiding in Liangzhou Mansion is not foolproof. ”

Zhi Yuexiu said softly: "You have also read the newspapers of the Song people, and the Song army is ready to "emigrate" a large number of people to Hexi. It seems that the Song army is bound to win. ”

"How's that good?"

Jeretau's face became solemn. The Song army even killed the Jurchens, not to mention the Western Xia!

As for whether it was the Song Army or the Loyal Army, he didn't understand it at all.

"Brother Yeli doesn't need to worry!"

Zhehu observed the words and looked at the expression, and answered the words on the side.

"Song Jun made it clear in the newspaper that as long as everyone does their own thing and doesn't resist, won't they be safe?"

"Brother, it's easy for you, when the time comes, the official's knife will be on your neck, let you go into battle to kill the enemy, see what you do? If you don't agree, you'll have to move your head right away!"

"The officials don't take your lives seriously, and you just endure it? If you can't do it, just fuck him, look at the Song Kingdom, the people are making trouble, what a big formation!"

"How can Xia Guo compare with Song Guo? There are only two or three million people in the Xia Kingdom, but there are tens of millions in the Great Song Dynasty, and no one dares to rebel without knives or guns

!”

On the official road, there is an endless stream of people rushing to the road, everyone is coarsely dressed and listless, and some even have vegetables on their faces, looking like their lives are extremely difficult.

Zhi Yuexiu secretly thought to herself, the loyal army isolated the border between Song and Xia, and the troops entered the Hulu River Valley, I am afraid that the burden on the people of Xia will be heavier.

"Brother Yeli, it seems that the life of the people of Xia Kingdom is not good?"

Seemingly careless, Zhiyuexiu was looking at the pedestrians on the road, but in fact she was listening to any clues in Yelitao's words.

"The battle was lost, people were arrested everywhere to replenish the soldiers, and the government increased taxes, so the people naturally did not have a good life."

Jeretau's face was solemn and worried, and it seemed that he was also worried about the current situation.

"Then our goods won't be unsold, won't you be in trouble?"

Zhehu's words of pretending to care made Yelitao's heart warm. It seems that these Song Dynasty businessmen have a good heart.

"Don't worry, nothing was too much trouble. Most of our things are sold to officials and wealthy people, and ordinary people can't afford them. ”

He laughed a little and added.

"Those people have money, and as long as things are good, they can sell them."

Zhehu and Zheyuexiu have a pair of eyes, each separated.

Sure enough, the crows in the world are as black as the world, and the Great Song and Xia people are the same. The upper class amassed wealth and was drunk with money, but the lower class people were living in poverty and dire straits.

"Brother Yeli, when you arrive at Liangzhou Mansion, can you introduce me and others to some people in the official mansion, and this business will be easier to do in the future."

Recommended, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, cache to read books, and read aloud offline!

Zhehu's understatement made Yelitau's face change, and his heart became suspicious.

"You Song businessmen, why do you like to find people in the government?"

"Brother Jeres doesn't need to worry. We Song people do business like this, if we don't have the protection of the government, how can this business continue!"

Jeretaut suddenly realized, and laughed, "I see. It's okay to get acquainted with people in the official mansion, and when I get to Liangzhou Mansion, I'll arrange it. ”

He doesn't have to worry about the Song people robbing his business, the bigger the deal, the better, and he also seems to have a way.

It's a big deal, introducing them only to Han officials, I believe there will be nothing wrong.

"Brother Yeli, are there any other Song merchants who have made friends with people in the official mansion?"

The delicate Orizuki Xiu heard other messages from Yelitau's words.

"Of course, in the "He City", it is not my business, the Nale Shang family, there are many Song people in the caravan, and I have also met a lot of officials from Liangzhou Mansion and Xuanhua Mansion. ”

Jereta turned his head and said with a smile on his face.

"Big boss, don't you want to do business with the Leshang family, we have a lot of friendship."

Zheyuexiu shook her head and smiled: "Brother Yeli, you put your heart in your stomach, our business is bigger than theirs, you just wait and see."

Jereta immediately smiled, and said again and again.

"That's that, the big bosses are rich and rich, our business must be better than theirs!"

It turns out that someone has already taken the lead.

Orizuki nodded slightly. She sensitively felt that this caravan of the Song people was not simple. Being able to get acquainted with so many Western Xia officials, it is obvious that the strength and financial resources of these people are extraordinary, and it is very likely that they are......

It seems that Wang Song has gone ahead.

As he was bowing his head in contemplation, Jeretah cried out.

"Everyone, Liangzhou City has arrived!"

Zhe Yuexiu's heart moved, and she looked forward, and sure enough, the majestic and magnificent city wall of Liangzhou City had come into view.
