In 1122 A.D., the fourth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, on January 22, Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta handed over the command of the army to his younger brother Wanyan Gao (Wanyan Xieye), who served as the young Zhuang faction of Kulubo Jiliegao, the governor of Jin Guo's soldiers and horses, Wanyan Pujianu, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongpan and other deputy marshals, and marched to Liao State in many ways. The small-scale rebellion, which lasted for many years, finally brewed into a large-scale national war.

Wanyan Zongwang led 10,000 Jinguo Iron Cavalry, the target was directly aimed at Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, you must know that there were at least 100,000 garrisons in Dading Mansion at this time, of which 30,000 Khitan elites, and the rest had the Bohai Navy, the Han Army, the Xi Army and other small tribe soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was still very strong.

Before the expedition, Wanyan Aguta personally instructed Ji Yi Dao: "The city of Dadingfu is tall, the defense is tight, and the soldiers defending the city are as many as 100,000. The importance of this battle to our Daikin is self-evident, and you must not underestimate the enemy. ”

Wanyan Zongwang is an extremely strategic person who doesn't like to talk much, he knows that no matter how much rhetoric he says, it is better to take Dading Mansion, and after chatting with Jin Taizu for a long time, he led the army to the battle.

For a long time, Wanyan Wu Qimai was mainly responsible for rear affairs as the crown prince, and did not participate in the front battle, but this time the expedition to Dading Mansion was very important for Dajin, he sent his adviser Han Lie to accompany the army on the expedition, and personally told Wanyan Zongwang that this battle should be discussed with Han Lie more, and troops should not be rashly used.

Han Lie is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a white face and beard, not tall, but he looks very energetic and energetic, he has been following Wanyan Wu for six or seven years, and he has always been regarded as a living Zhuge , which can be said to be tricky.

This time he went out with the army, Han Lie made up his mind, he must not speak rashly, he must succeed in helping Wan Yan Zongwang to take the Dading Mansion.

The city of Dadingfu is ten zhang high, the wall is about five zhang wide, the wall road of the city wall can be carried out side by side with four carts, transporting troops, transporting materials is very convenient, this city is known as one of the five major cities in Liao, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are heavy guards, so no one has ever thought that this big city will be conquered.

The lord of the city, Yelu Gao, is an extremely short-tempered, murderous fellow, this guy is greedy, and he is eager to scrape the ground to accumulate wealth.

Li Bu, the commander of the Han army, was a man of great depth and strategy, and he had always had a bad relationship with Yelu Gao, and if it weren't for the 50,000 people in the Han army, he would have been executed a long time ago.

There is one thing that no one knows, that is, Li Bu and Han Lie have known each other for a long time, otherwise Han Lie would not be so sure to take the Dading Mansion.

On January 27, Dading Mansion was conquered, and the city lord Yelu Gao was killed by his subordinates, and the news spread quickly, not only shocking the Liao State, but also the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia.

In the Longde Palace, the official family saw the secret report and pondered for a long time, and the Taishi Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Wang Huang, Li Bangyan, the crown prince, King Yun, Bai Shizhong, Fan Zhixu, and Zheng Juzhong who were sitting in the hall did not dare to speak.

This is a moment that will determine the fate of the Great Song Dynasty in the next few decades, almost everyone knows what the official's decision means, and everyone present is a human spirit, which person will easily express his position?

After a long time, the official family sent the secret report to everyone to see, and at this time, what this artistic genius missed most in his heart was his protégé Liu Zhenglong, as if all this was expected by this guy. The Dading Mansion in Zhongjing of the Liao State was conquered by 10,000 Jin troops in six or seven days, whether the Jin army was invincible and invincible, or the Liao army was vulnerable and rotten, but no matter what the situation was, it could not change the fact that the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyun was just around the corner, all of this seemed to be designed by Liu Zhenglong, and every step would not be wrong.

It seems that this Liu Zhenglong is his own lucky general, but it's a pity, if he doesn't get married, maybe he can be recruited as a concubine, of course, this idea is just a flash, but despite this, it shows how important Liu Zhenglong's status is in the hearts of the officials.

After everyone finished reading it, the official family said, "What do you think about this matter? ”

At this time, no one is a fool, the first thing to do is to go against the official, that is definitely a stupid thing, but today's fool is destined to be the prince, this stubborn, mean guy got up and said: "Father Qi, the territory of the Liao State is thousands of miles, and the armor is million, this time the loss to the Jin State is purely an accident, and it will not be long before the Jin State will be destroyed." How could the light of the candle compete with the sun and the moon, so the ministers thought that this matter should not be courtesy, let alone send an envoy to the Jin country. Let them dog-eat-dog... ”

When the prince was about to speak, when he heard Taifu Zheng Juzhong coughing, he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly looked at the official family, and saw that the official family's face was gloomy like water, he was dumbfounded, and at this time everything was over, so he could only wait quietly.

Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, waited for this opportunity, and he couldn't care about it so much, so he got up and said: "Father Qi, now that the Jin State and the Liao State are fighting, there is no time to take care of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and the Liao State will definitely concentrate on destroying the Jin State, this is the best opportunity for our Great Song Dynasty to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and the sons are willing to take command of the Northern Expedition." ”

This champion prince doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he leads the team out with one mouth, as if fighting is like child's play. However, everyone didn't dare to speak out, just a turtle with a shrunken head, depending on the attitude of the officials.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the official family was a little displeased, and he said angrily: "The Western Front has Liu Qing's family in charge of it alone, and the Tong Privy Envoy should also come back, I don't know how to settle Liu Qing's family is more reasonable." ”

Yes, it is impractical for a six-rank official to be a strategic envoy of the Western Front, but Liu Zhenglong is too young to be promoted, in that case, the political affairs hall will definitely not be able to pass.

Or Taishi Cai Jing is cunning, of course he knows what the official family means, at this time, he can say that Liu Zhenglong has contributed a lot to the reinstatement, and it is time to repay, now is obviously the best opportunity, and he suddenly has an idea.

Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Zhenglong is already the prince of Qinling County, that is the title of Zheng Erpin, although he is only a sixth-rank official, but he is enough to command and control the entire Western Front, and he is fully responsible for the war against Western Xia, and there is no need for additional placement." ”

Originally, the county prince of Qinling was just an official who said that he could only cash in after the recovery of Western Xia. But you don't joke, this still has to be filed in the political hall. Now Cai Jing has proposed it, on the one hand, to implement this matter, and on the other hand, to relieve the siege of the official family, after all, Liu Zhenglong cannot be promoted in the past three or five years.

"Okay, that's it, Xianggong Wang, you are responsible for sending someone to contact the Jin Kingdom, and that Zhao Liangsi will accompany you." The official family is determined to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and it is definitely Wang Ba's heart to eat the scales, and it will definitely not change because of anyone's advice.

The prince of Qinling County caused an uproar in the capital, and the Zheng family made it clear that they wanted to suppress the Cao family, at this time, whether it was King Yun or the prince, they all understood one thing, Liu Zhenglong was definitely a war dragon in the wilderness, and he could fly for nine days at any time, and he must not be taken lightly.

A terrible rumor began to circulate in the newspapers that Liu Zhenglong would be the heir to the mantle of Taishi Cai Jing in politics, and what this meant was absolutely self-evident.

The angry Cao family began to prepare secretly, since they couldn't bring down the Pan family, then Liu Zhenglong, a fledgling calf, would start with it, and the higher he climbed, the harder he fell.

The controversy in the newspaper kicked off, and there was only one core, that is, who was Liu Zhenglong, the prince of Qinling County, and this controversy covered up the controversy about the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyun, which made the official family very happy, he put down the newspaper and said to himself: "This precious disciple of mine will block the car for me, so it's okay, I can have a good time to relax, that is, I know how the progress of Western Xia is." ”

The newspaper of the polemic appeared in Li Shishi's boudoir every day, at first she didn't care much about Liu Zhenglong, a playboy, but as time went by, her heart cared more and more about this man, although there were few letters, but this man's hot love poems still made this flower girl fascinated.

What kind of man is this? Master Li can't see through it, and he doesn't want to see it through, a woman in love often loses herself, and her mind is full of the existence of a lover.

The battle was carried out in secret, the prince and the king of Yun began to secretly compete for Liu Zhenglong, and they sent important ministers to visit the Zheng family, and the status of the Zheng family has skyrocketed, and the Cao family has been left far behind.

The chaos is not only in Tokyo Bianliang, but also in the Xingqing Mansion of Western Xia, although it is far away from the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, but the impact of this matter is not far away and reduced, on the contrary, because of the information blockage, and even greater.

The queen Yelu Nanxian, who has always been prepared for a rainy day, saw the crisis behind this matter, she did not realize that the Jin State was a threat to the Liao State, but she saw that the Liao State was rotten and in crisis, at this time, if she could not straighten out the interior of Western Xia first, she would not want to help the Liao State.

Li Qianshun saw what was behind this incident even more, and he summoned Li Chage, the king of Jin, Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, Li Renli, the king of Shu, and important ministers of the court overnight.

Obviously, Li Qianshun does not want to be submissive to the Liao State, and wants to take this opportunity to gain a greater right to speak, this is probably the best time, you must know that the Liao State will definitely not let the Jin State develop, and will definitely concentrate all its efforts to suppress the Jin State, which is an opportunity for Western Xia.

Empress Yelu Nanxian was very dissatisfied with Li Qianshun's meeting of important ministers, and this damn guy wanted to take the opportunity to weaken Liao's influence on Western Xia.

It's not so cheap, Queen Yelu Nanxian has made up her mind, this time she will end the dispute between the three kings early, once she kills the king of Jin, Brother Richard, then the emperor will become a toothless tiger, and he will no longer be majestic.

Kill Brother Richard, King of Jin, then this matter really can't be completed without King Pu Li Renzhong, you must know that the Iron Harrier is in the hands of this guy, and the defense of Xingqing Mansion is also in the hands of this guy, this is an existence that can fight against King Richard of Jin in the army.

It would be a very risky thing to kill Brother Richard, the king of Jin who had a heavy army, and if it was not done, it would cause the army to mutiny, in which case there would be a turbulent situation in Western Xia, and it would not end well.

When the Three Kingdoms in Western Xia were even more chaotic, that is, on February 23 of the same year, the Jin army occupied Zhongjing, and in April, the Jin army rushed thousands of miles, bypassing the grassland, and directly occupied Datong Mansion in Xijing.

If the occupation of Zhongjing Dading Mansion only touched the Western Xia, then the Jin army occupied the Xijing Datong Mansion, then the impact on the Western Xia will be abyss, after all, it is only more than 200 miles away from the Western Xia, and the cavalry can be killed in two days, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before the two countries fight.

Zhongjing is lost, Xijing is lost, and the five capitals of Liao have lost two of them, which is a blow to Liao, the Liao army is no longer invincible, but has become synonymous with a rout, just a signal of extreme danger, at least the queen Yelu Nanxian who is far away in Xingqing Mansion saw the crisis, she doesn't know why her father doesn't fight back, but she just knows that if the situation is allowed to deteriorate, Liao will be in danger.

What to do, why is this happening, Yelu Nanxian is not in Liao after all, he doesn't know much about the inside story, he can only deduce from the surface meaning, that is, the treasury of Liao is empty, and the treasury is emptied by the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court has no money, so it will not be able to form an army, if a large amount of gold and silver is injected, the crisis of Liao will be easily resolved.

Money, how to get money, you can't move the Western Xia treasury over, right? At this time, Queen Yelu Nanxian decided to speed up the pace, and she found out the problem from Xiao Zixuan, since that night, it won't take long for this girl to go out for a night, and she won't come back until dawn.

Under Yelu Nanxian's questioning, Xiao Zixuan told what happened that night, although that incident could not be described, but the happiness on the face of this big beauty was enough to explain the problem.

Although Xiao Zixuan didn't know who the treacherous man was, the wise queen Yelu Nanxian still vaguely guessed the identity of the man, so she asked Xiao Zixuan to help her ask the other party out to meet.

After the meeting in the Wuwei Palace, Xiao Zixuan's little bird snuggled in the arms of the treacherous man like a human, and she said softly: "The queen wants to see you, don't you know if you can enter the palace tomorrow?" ”

"Who are you, can you tell me?" The treacherous man guessed it, but he still hoped that this beauty would say it herself, after all, with skin to skin, how could he ignore this big beauty?

"Xiao Zixuan, the sister of Xiao Puxian, the princess of Yeluchun, the king of Qin and Jin in the Great Liao, now lives in the queen's bedroom, I don't know such an answer, are you satisfied?" The big beauty Xiao Zixuan stretched out her slender jade finger and pinched the man's waist fiercely, and then said coquettishly: "It's so fierce every time, it's rare that you can't eat enough?" ”

"I'm a dog, I can't eat enough."
