Now the prestige of the Divine Machine Crane in the northwest is even more prosperous.

In addition to the storyteller in the tea shop, the big-headed civilians also spread all the words of mouth "Xiliangfu Empty City Plan, Divine Machine, Wisdom and Retreat Zhuo Luolan".

Not only Song Jing and Qingtang are rumors, but even the occupied areas in Western Xia are also rumors.

Of course, there are fewer spontaneous preaches in the occupied areas, and there are more cases of water flooding by the water army. But the urine of the big shark is like this.

The corresponding Zhuo Luolan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At that time, she let go of Xiliang Mansion due to the unspoken rules of various situations and did not beat Wang Yan, but it did not mean that she would not engage in propaganda, and she also spared no effort to announce in the border area of Western Xia: After Xiliang Mansion and Xuanhua Mansion were occupied by the Song army and the Tubo people, they had become evil strongholds, and the people in the occupied areas were in dire straits and needed to be liberated.

the groove. Knowing this, Wang Yan's mouth was crooked when he was sick, and he didn't have time to educate Dong Yu in Xiliang Mansion, so he issued orders to maintain stability.

In addition to capturing some of the underground party sailors sent by Zhuo Luolan, Wang Yan also personally intervened in the civil affairs work of Xiliang Mansion, put on a pro-people image, and led the Song army to help repair the dilapidated houses of the people of Xiliang Mansion to prevent them from leaking in the upcoming spring rain, and did a lot of such things.

As soon as the weather was cloudy, he sent Song Jun to go door-to-door and say: It's raining to collect clothes. This kind of thing is not less.

One day a little girl came to say that her lamb had been lost. After Chen Ergou asked for instructions, Wang Yan attached great importance to it and instructed: Be sure to solve this strange case.

For such instructions, Dong Yu, Ma Jinsi and others were powerless to complain. But Chen Ergou really took the little girl to look for a long time, and finally found that her lamb was hiding in a ditch, so he pulled the sheep out and handed it to the little girl.

In view of these circumstances, an old man tried to come to Wang Yan to complain, saying that the Tibetan soldier had raped his daughter and taken away their foal.

After implementing the situation, Wang Yan forced Dong Yu and Qingyi to form a ghost chapter and beheaded the Qingtang soldier in public.

By the end of March, they had really done so much that Zhuo Luolan's rumors were self-defeating. Now the people in the occupied area are not close to the Song army, but most of them do not believe that this is the so-called base camp of evil......

When the information of Xiliang Mansion was transmitted to the Henan Military Division, Zhuo Luolan was so angry that he jumped to his feet, why didn't the weak kid die of illness? His presence has become a special unpleasant place for the old lady.

It's a pity that the world is so unfair, when Qingtang was invaded, the Western Xia army had a pig teammate. Now although Dong Yu and Qingyi are not good people, they are not as pigs as Baa, so the small mistakes they made can be slowly made up by Wang Yan.

Since the defeat of Dong Yu's troops in the previous Luo Chuan, and the five victories in the next five battles ran them to Xiliang Mansion, the mood on the border of Western Xia was lifted, and it was filled with a festive, Jedi counterattack-like atmosphere.

But in her heart, Zhuo Luolan felt chills all over her body now that she had warmed up. Don't look at Song Jun's amiability, such a talent is terrifying, compared to the Manba policy at that time, Wang Yan was a wolf and was particularly dressed in sheep's clothing, and Manba was actually just a big fat sheep that looked a bit like a wolf.

It is foreseeable that if the negotiating envoys of the Liao and Song States do not come again, the Western Xia may lose the two important towns of Xuanhua Mansion and Xiliang Mansion forever. Because if it goes on like this, it will be useless to take it back at a certain time, and under Wang Yan's pretending to be forced and brainwashed, they will soon be surnamed Song......

Fighting is not Wang Yan's most powerful talent, pretending to be forced is.

Since the execution of the Tibetan soldiers who were traitors and the help of the little girl to find the lamb, Wang Yan is now also directing the medical soldiers to work as orthopedic surgeons for some children who have been injured in falls.

The party members in this era were very backward, and even the Liao State was not advanced. What do their little ones usually do when they fall and get hurt?

The words of the Western Xia usually let the child heal on his own, and if there is a place for the temple, bring it over and let a certain monk touch the head of the injured child to pray for blessings, and that is the end of it.

The bones themselves can indeed heal, but without interference, the bones of the unlucky child are crooked after healing, in this case, in the tribe, there is a high probability that it is said to be "cursed into the devil", and it is a high probability to be executed.

If this situation was encountered in the previous Liao Kingdom, it would be similar, give the injured child to the shaman to touch the skull and pray for blessings, and then what it looks like, the big deal is that the last knife is chopped or sunk in the pond or something.

Of course, Yelu Hongji is a very Buddhist believer, and starting from him, the shamans of the Great Liao Kingdom will slowly fade out of the altar.

Far from it.

During this time, the people found that none of the children who had been treated by Song Jun's orthopedics were "cursed", so they believed that the gods were blessed by divine power, and more and more people came to Song Jun's military doctor for treatment. The busy big-headed soldiers were anxious, but they had to hold on, because this was the Great Demon King's instructions.

There was a woman who sent a child, and she was crooked, and was about to be put to death as a demon, and as a mother she was distressed, so she wanted to see if there was a remedy.

Half a bottle of vinegar Chen Ergou checked the situation of the little kid and said: Yes, break the bone again and treat it again, fifty percent may be saved.

Without waiting for the woman to decide, the child cried loudly, and his hand was broken by Chen Ergou again. Re-handle it with a splint fixation, regardless of whether he cries or not, slap out the back of the head, and shout "next" by the way.

Khan, the little boy has survived after crying a lot, and his hands are growing again......

At the beginning of April, Han Qi, the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, had arrived at Xiliang Mansion with the Japanese army. At the same time, Yelu Chongyuan, the Pingzhang Shi of the Northern Prefecture of Liao, also arrived at Yongdeng through the territory of Western Xia with the leather room army.

In this regard, the "Quartet Talks" are about to begin.

Han Qi was not theoretically the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was originally the one who had the final say, and now Wang Yan, whom he supported, effectively annihilated most of the Western Xia expeditionary forces in less than a year through more than a dozen battles, stabilized Hehuang, and defeated the two major towns of Xuanhua Mansion and Xiliang Mansion through the military strength of the Tubo people.

This is the most brilliant military achievement in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, as a military minister, the protégé has made such a performance is also the credit of Lao Han, so now Han Qi is basically in the Song Kingdom, but he does not have the reputation of the prime minister.

As a correspond, the one from the Liao State is Yelu Chongyuan.

The Liao State was the opposite because of the politics of the First Army, Pingzhangshi was not the prime minister, but the privy envoy of the Northern Mansion was. But Yelu Hongji was young and vengeful and ambitious, so it was destined that there would be no prime minister in Liao during this period.

Just as some emperors in the historical years would concurrently serve as the imperial lieutenant themselves, theoretically the Liao State is now Yelu Hongji himself serving as the privy envoy.

Yelu Chongyuan also has the title of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but this has become a false position in the Liao State. Just like when the commander-in-chief and the 1st Military Committee of later generations existed at the same time, the commander-in-chief must be a vacant position, and the authority of a general staff member is not as great.

It is said that as soon as Han's brain shell comes, the good days of the big goose will come to an end.

Xiliang Mansion is really backward, and the governance office here is like the village office in the remote areas in later generations, with a few low-level soil-based broken houses.

Han Qi was wearing armor and was eating a leg of mutton in his hand, which was given to Lao Han by the people when he entered the city. Lao Han was very surprised: no one in this occupied area released cold arrows, and there were still people to treat?

It's really unscientific, but it's also officially the magic of Wang Yan.

After entering the lobby of the governance office and handing the leg of mutton to Wang Yan, Han Qi waved his hand and said, "Go and eat something, and slowly read the clerk's records about you as an old man." "Occupy the handsome position, and the desk like a concubine.

Da Yan doesn't like to eat mutton, although the mutton of this era is green and environmentally friendly, but the taste can make people ecstatic, and only those big-bellied idiots in Bianjing are popular mutton.

Seeing that Wang Yan was still pestle and didn't eat mutton, Han Qi took the leg of mutton back and began to bite it, while saying, "Don't eat it, I'll help you eat it." When you are recovering from a serious illness, you need to rest a lot. What you haven't done, the old man can work hard, let's help you do it together. ”

Wang Yan said unconvinced: "Xiangye sees it clearly...... The situation in the war zone is complicated, and it is the duty of the subordinate to guard around you. Negotiations are going to start in three days, and the two sides need to go to Jisang for talks. The Western Xia and the Liao people are extremely insidious and cunning, and Zhuo Luolan is a scheming thief mother-in-law. Xia Guan will personally escort Xiang Ye to Jisang to ensure that the situation does not get out of control. Don't worry, they won't dare to jump with me. ”

Han Qi said: "Are you afraid that the old man will rob you of your credit, or will you not go to Jisang to meet your old opponent Zhuo Luolan and be unwilling?" ”

Da Yan couldn't help but blush, and wanted to quibble, but was slapped in the back of the head.

Han Qi took another bite of mutton before saying, "You are suspicious, and you have more ghost ideas." Rest assured, the old man is not overstepping his authority to let you rest, but caring about your initial recovery from a serious illness. As for not wanting you to go to Jisang to participate in the negotiations, I really doubt that you have a ** complex with Zhuo Luolan? ”

“？” Wang Yan said: "But she and I are innocent, this is the malicious slander of a small group of people with ulterior motives." ”

Han Qi said with a strange expression: "Unfortunately, this handful of people with ulterior motives are not only in Bianjing, but the Xixia side also thinks that Zhuo Luolan is weird, she clearly has the upper hand after the victory in Crocheon, but she does not fight Xiliang Mansion, saying that she was frightened by the empty city plan, but the Empress Dowager of Xixia thinks that it is just Zhuo Luolan's excuse." I don't suspect that you're doing anything based on your urine. ”

At this point, Wang Yan was shocked, no black clouds would not be jealous, right?

"Xiangye, you don't really believe this, do you?" Wang Yan said again.

"Of course the old man doesn't believe it." Han Qi sighed: "But sometimes it doesn't matter if I believe it or not, anyway, there is a group of people who believe it, and there is a group of people who want to take it out anyway." So when someone in Western Xia also said this, it was inevitable that there would be a group of people in our court who suspected the existence of an insider. ”

"Damn, I decided to resign and return to my hometown, stay away from these political moths, and no one will pull me, if I continue like this, I will not die on the battlefield, but I will take this old life by myself." Wang Yan is righteous.

So frightened that a group of staff members around Han Qi accompanied them with smiling faces, and persuaded them one by one, "Lord Xiao Wang has a great future, don't make trouble, don't make emotions."

The more they persuaded, the louder Wang Yan became, "Don't pull me, I want to resign and go home."

After making a fuss, Han Qi saw that it was unseemly, so he slapped the table and said: "Don't pull him, the old man will see this turtle son resign with his own eyes, come, is the resignation document written?" The old man is here watching you perform. ”

“……”

It was embarrassing that no one pulled it now, Wang Yan scratched his head and thought about it and said, "I'm just talking...... At a time when the country is worried about internal and external troubles, people with lofty ideals of our generation should not pick on their children, but should rise to the challenge......"

Han Qi waved his hand with a headache and interrupted: "Okay, okay, I know." Be simple, speak simply, do you still resign? ”

Wang Yan said: "I have merit and hard work for the country, none of you can bomb me, I prefer not to leave." ”

"......" Han Qi and the staff around him looked at each other.

Wang Yan's fox tail was exposed, and he tried again: "In view of the fact that the DPRK and the central government have too much doubts about me, I have flattened the sea ahead...... No, I mean that there is some conflict with Lu Gongbi, in order not to make it difficult for the ministers, I know that demotion is inevitable. Why don't you let me go to Hainan Island to know Wan'anjun? ”

Everyone complained about him a little bit, he said that no one could get rid of him, but he didn't let Jingguan do it, and he wanted to go to Hainan Island to be a savage?

"Don't think so out of the box, don't say one sentence at a time. Just give the old man An An a share of time in Beijing for a while, what Hainan Island to go to, and still not sick enough? I tell you, that place is full of plagues, and there are miasma everywhere. Do you think you can live there to be fifty? ”

Speaking of this, Han Qi said softly: "Don't be stubborn, you won the war and fulfilled the entrustment that the Great Song Dynasty entrusted to you." Go back to Beijing, the old man promised not to cede the fruits you beat at will. In fact, it is the intention of the official to let you report on your work immediately and hand over the command, and he feels sorry for you. In addition, this time there will be no demotion because of the rumors between you and Zhuo Luolan, and because you beat Lu Gongbi, at least the old man and the emperor are still in the day, and it won't happen! ”

Everywhere, Wang Yan took a deep breath and didn't turn around. This is the reason why Han Qi was sent, as the commander of the Volunteer Army, after winning the war, Wang Yan only reported to the Privy Council, and returned the title and festival charm by the way.

Originally, if he wanted to do these things, he had to return to Beijing, but now that Han Qi is here, according to the emperor's will and according to the Great Song Dynasty system, Wang Yan is here to report to him, and after returning the "Great Song Volunteer Army Hehuang Marching Supervision Army Tiger Fu", the formalities have been completed.

According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Yan and Mu Guiying would march into Bianjing with the volunteers, and take their own soldiers to ride their horses to the palace to accept the emperor's commendation.

Although that will cause the war horse to pull in the main hall, this is the rule of the Great Song Dynasty. But now it seems that Lao Zhao's illness is becoming less and less optimistic, and he may not have the heart to preside over these national ceremonies.

Actually, it's okay.

According to Han Qi's condition of the emperor, Wang Yan was generally relieved. Generally speaking, such a sick person can drag it year after year, and as long as it is winter, it will basically last another year. Including everyone's emotions, they will slowly adapt to this process.

is really a seriously ill old man, when suddenly the red light can eat and laugh, that is, there must be a demon when things go wrong, then it is called back to the light.

"Cheerful, talking?" Han Qi urged.

"The subordinate obeys." Wang Yan had to bow.

Han Qi nodded with satisfaction, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Wang Yan.

This is the emperor's central order: let Wang Yan immediately hand over the defense of the Northwest Volunteer Army and return to Beijing as soon as possible to make up for the examination.

This time, Jiayou's four-year exam has passed. Perhaps Lao Zhao had a premonition of his physical problems and felt that he could not delay it for two years, so he deliberately used the reason that "Wang Yan delayed the examination date for the country", and specially allowed Xiaozao to make up for the exam.

Of course, there will be people who oppose this, but from Fu Bi, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu to the emperor, they all agreed, so they really made an exception to open a small stove and waited for Wang Yan to take the make-up exam.

Han Qi said that for this reason, the students in Beijing were about to riot, just because they were waiting for Wang Yan to make up the exam, they should have released the list in February, but it has been delayed until now.

"So that's the reason why I'm in a hurry to summon the kid back to Beijing?" Wang Yan muttered.

Han Qi said earnestly: "The emperor himself said not to force you. If you don't want to go back at this time, don't take out this paperwork. If this is the case, it will cause you to experience more twists and turns in the future, because including your father and me, as well as the emperor, think that you can't afford to take the exam, and the emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and he is waiting to review your exam papers, do you know? If you change people, you will never be able to pass the exam again in this life. ”

Wang Yan nodded and clenched his fists and said, "The last condition." ”

The back of the head was slapped again.

Han Qi said: "Don't talk about conditions. Of course, as a marshal who won the national war, you can make some suggestions to the headquarters at the time of the handover, and the headquarters will pay attention to it. ”

"Well, it's okay to suggest." Wang Yan said: "The Volunteer Army should not be easily reorganized and expanded, it doesn't matter what the name is, it can be called the Pig-headed Army." In addition to not reorganizing and maintaining the bloodline of this army, Xia Guan officially made a responsible suggestion to the Great Song Dynasty court, recommending Ma Jinxi and Di Yong to be in charge of this army and serve as the commander and deputy of the capital. ”

Han Qi thought for a moment, this was a matter of course, so he nodded in agreement.

Wang Yan was about to go out, and he was persecuted and asked delusionally: "Is my privy decree still there?" You won't be suspended, will you? ”

"Nonsense, if the old man doesn't sign, who can suspend you from the Privy Council? Your father really wanted to kill you, but I rejected his decision. Get out of here. Han Qi waved his hand......
