Lu Yijian saw that Cao Wei's face was very ugly, so he said in a deep voice: "I will write to the official family and ask the official family to win the favor." ”

"It's not a love affair."

Cao Wei said in a heavy voice: "Zhe Weizhong is a person of pure filial piety, and when his mother dies, he will be grief-stricken, and it is difficult to predict whether he can resist the Liao people wholeheartedly." ”

Cao Wei looked at Lu Yijian, gritted his teeth and said: "If the Liao people break through the Dongping Road, they will have the opportunity to go south along the Yellow River and kill all the way to Kaifeng Mansion." Once the Liao people reach Kaifeng Mansion, they will not only be able to successfully turn the tables, but also force our Great Song Dynasty to sign an alliance under the city.

My Great Song Dynasty's achievements in fighting in the land of Yanyun for several months will also disappear. ”

Lu Yijian stared at Cao Wei with a shocked expression, "The Liao people want to go south along the Yellow River, I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?" ”

Cao Wei shook his head and said: "The border defense on the front line of Dongping Road, the imperial court has always relied on the Zhe family. The Zhejia family also lived up to the high expectations of the imperial court, and sat on the front line of Dongping Road for decades, as stable as Mount Tai. The Western Xia and Liao attacked several times, but failed to break through the border defense on the first line of Dongping Road.

The sacrifice of several generations of the Zhe family proved their strength, and the imperial court also relieved to hand over the border defense on the front line of Dongping Road to the Zhe family.

It is precisely because of this that there is no heavy army to guard the line from Kaifeng Mansion to Dongping Road.

Once the family can't hold it, the Liao people can drive straight in. ”

Lu Yijian's brows furrowed for a moment, and he said in a low voice: "Zhe Weizhong has always been loyal and brave, and he never dared to be slack in military affairs. After the death of his mother, Zhi Weizhong was grief-stricken, but once the Liao people went south, Zhi Weizhong would definitely lead the Zhejia army to fight the enemy bravely. ”

Lu Yijian has absolute confidence in folding.

It's not that Lu Yijian blindly believes in people.

Instead, Zhi Weizhong used his strength to prove that he was worthy of Lu Yijian's trust.

During his time guarding the border, Zhi Weizhong experienced several invasions by Western Xia soldiers and Liao soldiers, all of which were repelled by him.

The Western Xia soldiers and horses and the Liao soldiers also joined forces to commit crimes, but they were still beaten back by Zhe Weizhong.

It can be said that as long as Zhi Weizhong appears on the battlefield, whether it is the invasion of Western Xia soldiers and horses, or the invasion of Liao soldiers, they will have to be beaten back.

Lu Yijian is not wrong when he says this.

Cao Wei said with a gloomy face: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu looks fearless, he has a way to deal with Zhi Weizhong, or has a way to contain Zhi Weizhong and open a hole in Dongping Road.

We can't sit still, we must send someone to Dongping Road to see in person the loyalty.

Ensure that the border of the first line of Dongping Road is not breached. ”

Cao Wei looked at Lu Yijian and said, "You should also write to the official family and ask the official family to send an important minister to Dongping Road to sit in town." ”

After listening to Cao Wei's analysis, Lu Yijian also beat a drum in his heart.

As Cao Wei said, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was too able to sit still.

Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, lost three states, and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu did not lead heavy troops to attack, which is completely inconsistent with Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's temperament.

It is inevitable to say that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has a conspiracy and dependence.

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "I'll write it when I get back to the room in a while." ”

Cao Wei nodded slowly and said, "By the way, write a letter to Wang Xiang to see if he can discuss with the official family and let the Qingjian City Seed World Heng move." ”

Lu Yijian said suspiciously: "Why is it related to Chong Shiheng again?" ”

Cao Wei gritted his teeth and said: "If the Liao people can appear in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, it must be the Western Xia people who make trouble." My Great Song Dynasty defeated Western Xia twice, and Western Xia should be restrained by one or two.

Now that he is making a hindrance and causing trouble for my Great Song, then he should teach me a good lesson.

The war between my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State was not something that the Western Xia could interfere with. ”

Lu Yijian frowned, and said uncertainly: "All of a sudden, I will start a war with the Liao State and the Western Xia at the same time, and I will ...... the Great Song Dynasty."

Cao Wei didn't wait for Lu Yijian to finish speaking, and said decisively: "My Great Song has that strength." The war between our Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State this time is very important to our Great Song Dynasty.

If we win the war, our Great Song Dynasty will replace the Liao State and become the new overlord.

If I lose, I don't want to raise my head in the future. ”

Cao Wei stared at Lu Yijian and continued: "You, Li Di, Wang Zeng, Kou Ji, and the official family, the five of you have been planning for so long, isn't it just to make my Great Song raise his head?"

If the Great Song Dynasty can defeat the Liao State at the same time, and at the same time teach the Western Xia a lesson, then I can completely raise my head.

Isn't that what you want?

Now that the great opportunity is right before you, will you hold back because of some money?

Others don't know how much money the court has, but I know it clearly.

We only used the money in the treasury for this expedition.

The pile sealing warehouse and the official inner library were not used.

Some of my Great Song Dynasty are people, some are soldiers, as long as I am given enough food and salary, and some people help me to fight on the battlefield in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Lu Yijian listened to Cao Wei's words and hesitated.

Cao Wei continued: "I know what you are hesitating about, you are thinking about it. But now that the situation has changed, you have no chance to figure it out, so you can only fight to the death.

If you win the war, I will come to the dynasty with Song Wanbang.

You, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng, will also become virtuous ministers in the history of celebrities.

If I lose, my Great Song will collapse, but it is not without a chance to rise.

As long as Koji is still in the court, we still have a chance to rise.

You have been secretly paving the way for Kou Ji to enter the inner court safely, aren't you just preparing for the future? ”

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth, but still didn't speak.

Cao Wei frowned and said: "If I lose, it is me Cao Wei who will be scolded, and it will be my generation of martial artists who will be scolded." Others will only say that my generation of martial artists is incompetent, and I, Cao Wei, are incompetent, and I have not been able to defeat a strong enemy.

Who's to say you're not?

What are you waiting for? ”

Lu Yijian widened, stared at Cao Wei and said, "I, Lu Yijian, am not the kind of person who lets others help me bear the infamy." If it really fails, it is my Lu Yijian's responsibility, and I will definitely not shirk it. ”

Cao Wei was slightly stunned, glanced at Lu Yijian and said, "So...... You promised? ”

Lu Yijian snorted coldly, "You have said everything to this point, can I not agree?" Besides, as a subordinate of my Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia interfered in the war between my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, and it should indeed be a lesson.

In the past, my Great Song Dynasty wanted to use Western Xia to deal with the Liao people, so I tolerated Western Xia everywhere.

Now that Western Xia not only did not help my Great Song to deal with the Liao people, but joined hands with the Liao people to deal with my Great Song Dynasty, then he could not be kept. ”

Cao Wei nodded in agreement.

Lu Yijian snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and went back to the room to write a recital.

Not long after, Lu Yijian wrote a note and a long letter, and sent someone to rush 800 miles to Bianjing City.

A few days later.

Lü Yijian's recital and long letter were sent to Bianjing City.

After Zhao Zhen got Lu Yijian's recital, he immediately summoned hundreds of officials and began to discuss what Lu Yijian played.

However.

Just when Zhao Zhen led the hundred officials to discuss what Lu Yijian played.

In the northwest, where the Zhejia army is seated, there has already been a war.

Xiao Xiaomu, the king of Great Liao Yan, the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, the left-behind guard in Tokyo, the head of the soldiers and horses, and the meritorious hero of the country, gathered with the captain of the horses, the deputy inspector Xiao Pi in front of the palace, and the eunuch Xiao Punu, led 150,000 elite soldiers of the Great Liao, as well as two Great Liao town armies, and appeared in the northwest border.

After Xiao Xiaomu entered the warm spring peak of Western Xia occupied by the Great Liao, he heard the news that his mother had died and that he was sick.

In an instant, he had the idea of dragging his life to death.

The idea had been in his head since it had never left.

After Xiao Xiaomu led the army to arrive at the turbidity wheel village, he immediately ordered Xiao Pidi and Xiao Punu to lead 50,000 elite soldiers of the Great Liao, as well as the two armies of Jinsu and Heqing in Dongshengzhou, to cross the river and attack Yinzhou in the south.

He himself led 100,000 elite soldiers of the Great Liao to force Linzhou.

Although Yinzhou and Linzhou are on the edge of the Great Wall, they are thousands of miles apart.

As long as Xiao Xiaomu plans properly, he will continue to run around thousands of miles.

After Xiao Xiaomu arrived at the border of Linzhou, he found out that Zhi Weizhong was in Fuzhou, and he decisively ordered his soldiers and horses to launch an attack on Linzhou.

For a time, the border of Linzhou was full of wolf smoke.

The number of defenders in Linzhou was small, and they were defeated by Xiao Xiaomu's 100,000 army, so they had to ask Baode's Baode army for help.

After the Baode army arrived in Linzhou, they helped the defenders of Linzhou block Xiao Xiaomu's 100,000 army.

But only in the way.

Under Xiao Xiaomu's fierce attack, Linzhou is still in danger.

The Baode Army is only a box army, which used to be the Dingqiang Army, and in the first year of Jingde, it was changed to the Baode Army, which was under the jurisdiction of Hedong Road.

But in the past, Hedong Road has always been the Zhejia army.

The Bulgarian army could only beat the side drum on the side, so the combat effectiveness was average.

After a round of streamlining by Kou Zhun, Li Di, Wang Zeng and others, the number of troops has also decreased a lot.

casually faced 100,000 elites of the Liao Kingdom, and it was already good to be able to barely resist.

After the defenders of Linzhou temporarily held Linzhou with the help of the Baode army, they immediately sent people to Fuzhou to ask for loyalty to Zhiwei.

Fuzhou.

Orifu.

Mourning Hall.

Zhi Weizhong was dressed in white and knelt on the mourning hall.

Zhi Weizhong is only forty years, but he looks more like an old man in his sixties.

The temples are white, and the face is like a withered tree.

The pain of his body and the loss of his mother constantly tormented him, making him miserable.

Looking at the spiritual position of his deceased mother, the voice and smile of his deceased mother before her death appeared in front of him one by one, and his heart was even more painful.

He is the youngest son in the family, and he is most favored by his father, brother and mother.

Every time one of the people who doted on him went, his heart was painful, and now that the last person was gone, his heart was naturally even more painful.

His wife Zhe Liu knelt behind him, looking at him with a worried face, holding his youngest son Zhi Jishi in his arms, the three-year-old Zhe Jizu lay on her knees and fell asleep, the six-year-old Zhe Jimin knelt beside him with a bitter little face, and the older Zhe Jixuan knelt upright, if he didn't have a fur cushion under his knees, he should be a good filial son and grandson.

Just when Zhi Weizhong led his wife and children to guard the filial piety of his deceased mother, an old figure broke into the mourning hall.

The people who came didn't care about the etiquette, and after entering the mourning hall, they shouted in a deep voice: "General, there is a change in Linzhou, Xiao Xiaomu, the king of Yan of Liao, led 100,000 elite Liao troops, and suddenly appeared outside Linzhou and attacked Linzhou.

The defenders of Linzhou were defeated and turned to the Baode army for help.

After the Baode army went up, it was still invincible.

Linzhou is precarious. ”

When the people in the mourning hall heard this, their expressions were different.

Zhi Weizhong was shocked, and seemed to have woken up from his grief, realizing that he still had a responsibility on his back.

The document he played to Ding Wei had been handed to the imperial court, but the imperial court had not yet replied.

Then he is still an official of the Great Song Dynasty and a general of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhi Weizhong trembled, took a deep breath, and kowtowed three times to the spiritual position of Zhe Mu, and when he raised his head again, blood had oozed from his forehead.

Zhi Weizhong looked at the spiritual position of his deceased mother, and said unwillingly: "The child is not filial, I'm afraid I can't guard the soul for you." When you were alive, you often taught your children that they must learn from their fathers and brothers, and that they should fight bravely for the country.

The child will not dare to forget.

Now that the enemy is heading south, the border pass is in danger, and the child can only leave your soul behind and go to the border pass. ”

When Zhe Liu heard Zhi Weizhong's words, the sadness on his face became even stronger.

No one can understand Zhi Weizhong's body better than her, and no one can understand the sorrow in Zhiweizhong's heart better than her.

In this current situation, if you go out, you are gambling with your life.

"Loyal ......"

Zhe Liu snorted worriedly.

Zhi Weizhong was shocked, turned his head, looked at Zhi Liu, and said in a low voice: "You are a member of my family, you should understand that state affairs are more important than everything." ”

What is everything in Zhi Weizhong's mouth, Zhe Liu naturally knows.

With tears in his eyes, he silently lowered his head.

Six-year-old Zhe Jimin saw his mother crying, and then cried too.

The three-year-old step-ancestor was awakened and looked around blankly.

The infant Ji Shi stared, wondering why the people around him were crying.

The elder Zhi Jixuan got up brazenly and said loudly: "Mother don't worry, just Liao, I can sweep them away with a trip, and I don't need my father to go out at all." ”

Although Zhi Jixuan was arrogant, he was also careful, and knew that Zhi Weizhong's body was sick.

It was a rare opportunity for him to perform, and he didn't want to miss it.

If he can take the opportunity to fight a big victory, and if Zhi Weizhong goes in the future, he will immediately become the leader of the Zhi family, and the top and bottom of the Zhi family will have to listen to him.

After Zhe Jixuan finished persuading the Liu family, he took the initiative to ask Zhe Weizhong, "Father, you don't have to go out in this battle, it's enough to let the child go." ”

Zhi Weizhong had a gloomy face, stared at Zhi Jixuan, and shouted: "Kneel!" Your grandmother's mourning hall will not allow you to shout and scream. ”

Zhi Jixuan fell to the ground unwillingly.

Zhi Weizhong reprimanded coldly: "I'm not dead yet, and the Zhi family hasn't reached the point where a child who is not as weak as the crown can be put on the battlefield." ”

What kind of virtue is the eldest son, Zhe Jixuan, and he knows it in his heart.

Public, domineering, and talentless.

But Zhe Weizhong is all about him, and when he is older, he will understand things.

So he didn't open his mouth to count the folds and follow the announcement.

He didn't want to hit Ji Xuan's self-confidence.

Who is the Liao State leading the troops this time?

Xiao Xiaomu, the Yan King of Liao, don't think that Xiao Xiaomu is carrying the identity of a national uncle, just think that Xiao Xiaomu is relying on nepotism.

Xiao Xiaomu can be crowned king in Liao, it is not just nepotism.

Without real merit and real strength, it is impossible to be crowned king.
