On the official road in Shaanxi, the sky is full of snow, and goose-down snowflakes are falling.

Inside the carriage, a small stove bakes a warm current.

Yang Lin was wearing only a small white coat, with a bare chest and bare feet, stepping on the soft Persian carpet laid in the car, and was reading a new battle report.

The war reports of Western Xia kept coming, this kingdom had been torn apart because of the emperor's surrender, and what he needed to do was to break them one by one, use both grace and power, collect one part, suppress the other part, and let this martial and warlike party clan be used by the Great Song Dynasty.

While occupying Western Xia, it also meant that the Great Song Dynasty had to face Mongolia and Khitan in the northwest, and there was no longer any buffer.

The farther north you go, the poorer you are, the more ruthless you are, and the more ruthless you are, the more you have to fight. The days to come will not be peaceful.

Yang Lin lifted the curtain and asked, "Slowly soaring like this, when will you be able to reach Hengshan." ”

Dressed in fur armor, Lu Wang, who was riding on a horse, clamped the horse's belly, approached the car window, and said with a smile: "The weather in the north is cold, the wind and snow are blowing, and the road is difficult to walk. ”

"A month?" Yang Lin slammed the curtain, put on the Xuanhu fur fur, walked out of the luxurious carriage, and said: "Abandon all your outfits, only bring the official seal, and hurry up." Along the way, when I saw the official office, I went in to rest and eat, and led a horse to the official. ”

Lu Wang laughed, untied a wine jug and threw it over, Yang Lin reached out to catch it.

Riding in the wind and snow, if there is no wine to warm the body, Rao is now Yang Lin is also a little unbearable.

The group rode forward, the men of the Banzai camp had sold salt earlier, and they were used to rushing in all kinds of difficult environments, this bit of snow was nothing, but Yang Lin was a little dizzy from the cold.

Yan'an Mansion, Fulong Mountain.

At dusk, in the twilight, a red horse appeared outside the city, and the horse's hooves broke through the thick snow.

The men on horseback carried an iron-spine carved bow, wore a mink hat on their heads, symbolizing their own soldiers, and wore a mountain mark on their arms.

Yang Lin's palm holding the reins was cold and painful, his thumb was holding a jasper wrench, and he raised his hand as soon as he raised his eyes and saw the city wall, and the team behind him immediately stopped.

A few knights came out of the city, tall and big, and a man puffed up his chest and said in a deep voice: "Which battalion is the brother in front, report your name!" ”

Lu Qian rubbed his hands together and said, "Long live the camp, behind is the young master Yang Lin, hurry up and notify the officials of the state capital to greet you." ”

The military man was startled, and hurriedly returned to the city and opened the city gate to welcome everyone into the city.

This is Yan'an Mansion, the nest of the Western Army, and no one will suspect that someone has come here to cheat and cheat.

Along the way, I had already received a message from the imperial court, and when the young ruler of the dynasty came to the northwest to supervise the war, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

The seed tree left behind in Yan'an Mansion is the nephew of the seed master Dao, and he hurriedly came out to greet the big and small officials, and Yang Shaozai was frozen like a grandson at this time, shivering all over.

"Yang Shaozai, which is Yang Shaozai, the defense envoy of the Xiaguan Sui German Army visited Shaozai."

"Kind... Seed... General, enter... in..."

Lu Wang smiled and said, "General, Shaozai means to go into the city and talk about it." ”

"Yes . . . Right. Yang Lin wiped a handful of snow foam on his face, freezing so much that it hurt behind his ears.

Lu Qian laughed, got off the horse and reached out to hug Yang Lin off the horse, dusting off the snow on his body.

The generals and officials of Yan'an Mansion are all a little impressed, and it is rumored that Yang Shaozai was born as a wealthy businessman and lived a luxurious life, and he was often a slave like a cloud.

I didn't expect that for the sake of the military situation in the northwest, I could also endure this kind of hardship, and the bitter cold land in the northwest is not something that a civil official with a big turban like Bianliang can bear.

When they arrived at the plantation, they first arranged for their subordinates to take them to clean their faces and change their clothes, and then instructed the house to prepare wine and food.

The planters thought thoughtfully, and someone had already boiled hot water and stewed ginger soup to warm these people and horses who came in the wind and snow.

Yang Lin comfortably ran a hot bath and drank a bowl of ginger soup, which eased his strength. Then he changed into a decent dress, which was sent by someone from the Chongfu Mission, and it just fit, and then he came to the lobby.

Everyone got up one after another, and when they looked at it again, Yang Shaozai's face was flushed, handsome and elegant, and he had a superior bearing, this is the demeanor of a former minister, but he is really younger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the great victory in the northwest, I conquered Xingqing Mansion with my heavenly soldiers, which is a rare victory since the founding of the country. In addition to the blessing of the Holy Lord, thanks to your bloody battles, this time the official came to mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Qin Long, take advantage of the situation to annihilate the Western Xia in one fell swoop, and return this piece of homeland to my Great Song Dynasty.

You are all veteran generals in the army, this time you have to work tirelessly, half of the people who travel a hundred miles, and the Western Xia is a disaster for a hundred years, and we will eradicate it when the opportunity comes, and we must not wait until the ashes resurgence, and then it will be too late to regret it. ”

Everyone nodded yes, Yang Lin glanced around, there were no stubborn elements, and nodded secretly in his heart.

He didn't know that now that Yang Shaozai was fighting the charge of "defeat" on his shoulder, it had already spread.

Everyone in the army admired it, and after so many years of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, several civil servants were willing to take responsibility for the generals. Not to mention high-ranking officials of this level, you must know which of those ministers in the DPRK and China is not a human spirit, and he is more slippery than anyone else in pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

It is rumored that Yang Shaozai is the most slippery one, but he didn't expect to stand up at a critical moment, which is the most admirable.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Chong Wei smiled and said, "Shaozai, the back hall has prepared wine and food, is there a banquet?" ”

"Open, I've been sleeping in the open for so long, I can finally have a good meal, this official will rest in Yan'an Mansion for three days, and in these three days, you will transfer all the capable soldiers and horses in the northwest to Hengshan, and we will go to receive Western Xia."

---

At the beginning of the lanterns, the dark clouds cover the moon.

Yang Lin originally planned to stay in the plantation house, but Lu Wang whispered a few words, and Yang Lin, who was drunk and hot, got up and said goodbye.

It turned out that the master had fought all his life, and all his sons were killed in battle, leaving only one grandson to fight with the army in Western Xia.

Now the palace is full of female dependents, he is a member of the imperial court, and he must be protected from wind and rumors when he stays here.

Chong Wei is the son of the little seed master, he glanced at him gratefully, hugged his fists and said: "In this way, the last will arrange a place for Shaozai." ”

Yang Lin smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Hurry up and mobilize the troops and horses, the official will only give you three days, and you can set off after three days, if the military order is violated, don't blame the official for ignoring the friendship of drinking at the same table today." ”

He laughed dryly, turned to leave, and thought that he would send someone to give an order in the night.

Walking on the way to the official office of Yan'an Prefecture, Yang Lin sighed: "It is said that the Western Army is bitter, who would have thought that the old man is a general of the family, and he can fight to the end, let alone the average soldier." If it weren't for the destruction of Western Xia this time, I'm afraid this situation would continue. ”

Lu Wangshen thought so, nodded and said: "The fierceness of the war in the northwest is rare in ancient times. ”

Yang Lin put his hands behind his back and said with a worried face about the country and the people: "This time, I want to completely subdue the Northwest tribes and use them for my use, and I have a long way to go." ”

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you have a clue, it will be much easier to do, where is Shaozai going to start?"

Yang Lin nodded and said, "First of all, you first go to the city to find a few Qingqi people, and if you don't have a comb, sleep with me." ”

......

Looking back, Lu Wang was stunned in place, obviously not recalling. A second ago, he was worried about the country and the people, but suddenly such a sentence came, which made this rich man from a salt seller a little blindsided.

Yang Lin was angry and scolded: "People who can't rest, how can they better coordinate and dispatch, if the scheduling is not good, how can they be worthy of the court, Your Majesty, and the common people, this bird place is cold and freezing, is it wrong to find a few people to warm the bed?" ”

Lu Wang said curtly: "No, no, where is Shaozai's fault, it is because his subordinates are not thoughtful, and I don't know what Shaozai wants." ”

Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "This official is not a color embryo, how can there be any requirements, it is nothing more than the highest value, the ****** is the oldest, the best age is cardamom, thin and slender, just find three or four casually." Go ahead! ”
