Luoyang, Qincha Xingyuan.

The green willows hang low, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the white walls and black tiles are surrounded by them, lining the small courtyard to be elegant and quiet.

Yang Lin and the officials of Henan Mansion drank for a while, and then walked excitedly, through the Moon Gate, through the Jintuan Garden, there is a small two-story building, the upstairs boudoir is very clean, but the layout can be called luxurious.

On the south wall, there is a red sandalwood Bo ancient shelf, on which there are seven or eight pieces of antique jade, on the side of the blue and white plate, there are dozens of delicate yellow and delicate Buddha's hands, and the east bed hangs a crimson light silk curtain, and the gold thread is pressed around.

On the dresser on the west side, there is a polished gilt bronze mirror, in which the jade man has just put down the ivory comb in his hand, and lightly traced the lips with a rouge-stained lip pencil, and then painted the cherry lips more delicately with a delicate jade finger.

"Lingyun, you are so beautiful today!" Huang Xuanzhi, who was wearing a bridal red shirt, said with a smile.

"Why, you're prettier." Lingyun Xiaodao Gu was a little embarrassed, turned her head and said.

Huang Xuanzhi stepped forward and hugged Lingyun Xiaodao Gu, and in an instant, a pair of delicate faces were like flowers, and they were presented in a bronze mirror at the same time, and their beauty was more than doubled.

The two of them looked at themselves in the mirror, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and turned their heads at the same time, their faces were red, one pinched the corners of their skirts, and the other twisted their long green hair.

After all, Huang Xuanzhi was more lively, and he had already gotten along with Yang Lin many times, biting his lip and smiling: "Have you already taken a fancy to my cousin." ”

Lingyun paused in shame, and the two of them chased and frolicked again.

At this time, as soon as the door opened, Yang Lin, who was a little drunk, wearing a round-necked shirt and a hairpin on his head, walked in.

One in each hand, he hugged the two little brides who were laughing around the table, and the two of them laughed and kicked their feet together.

......

Under the trees in the courtyard, there was a little flower cat hiding in the sun, and suddenly I heard a warbler crying upstairs, which was very clear in this quiet garden.

The kitten wanted to leave, and after a while, the voice gradually became lower, and then slowly let down his guard, readjusted his comfortable position, and continued to take a nap in the sun.

---

In the early morning of the next day, the barracks on the outskirts of Luoyang began to be packed, and hundreds of guards at the city gate escorted a carriage out.

Luoyang officials said goodbye in the back, Yang Lin waved his hand, and then opened the curtain and entered the car.

The two petite and cute little brides in the car looked at themselves with a smile, Yang Lin laughed, sat in the middle, and said loudly: "Go to Chang'an!" ”

Chang'an County, Jingzhao Prefecture, is the heart of Qin Long, and it used to be the territory of the farmer, but now... Today's imperial court does not allow above-ground generals to have their own territory.

The Western Army was the most successful of Wang Anshi's reforms, cultivating an elite division that could fight tough battles for the Great Song Dynasty.

However, there are also some drawbacks, and now that the Western Xia has been wiped out, the privileges of the Western Army no longer exist.

Now they don't need to raise grain and grass by themselves, the supply of the imperial court is sufficient, and the northwest generals have been attacked several times, and they have lost their ambition to divide one side.

The most heartfelt Fold family of the Jian Fan has been driven to the Mizhou Mansion, and the rest don't really want to secede.

Luoyang and Chang'an, originally the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty, are not far from each other.

Soon after traveling, we arrived at the boundary of Jingzhao Mansion, and when we entered Chang'an County, it was late at night.

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion and Chong Wei and others greeted here, and the lights at the city gate were brightly lit.

Yang Lin has his own small courtyard here, and he also saved the ground to find a temporary residence for him, and after greeting a few officials, he went to the small courtyard.

The door was pushed open, and there was no dampness that had been uninhabited for a long time, Yang Lin asked people to bring hot water, and after bathing comfortably with the two newlyweds, he lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

Jingzhao Mansion is subordinate to Qinlong, Qinlong Province has always been a very special province, the people here have been sparsely populated and young because of the confrontation with the Western Xia for a hundred years, and almost all of them have become soldiers.

The Great Wall Corps, which followed Han Shizhong, was rewarded a lot because of his outstanding achievements in Youyan, and many relatives moved to Youyan with their families, and Qin Long became more and more empty.

In recent years, as the war has subsided, countless foreign people have poured into the business road, many of whom have set up land and settled in Qinlong.

Nowadays, this place has a very large population movement, which naturally has given rise to countless inns and liquor stores, which are open non-stop late at night.

With his head resting on his hands, Yang Lin looked at the full moon outside the window and suddenly sighed.

Xiao Lingyun came up and asked, "Good and dignified, what are you sighing for?" ”

"When I used to study, I saw Liu Bei see his barnyard flesh come back to life, and sighed that time flies. I didn't think about it, and I have this thought now. ”

Huang Xuanzhi drew circles on his chest from the other side, and asked puzzledly: "You are only in your twenties, and you are not moaning without illness when you feel that you are doing this." ”

The two little girls giggled, laughed and laughed, and started to play again through Yang Lin.

Yang Lin slapped himself, sat up, and said: "In the past, I had my first taste of a woman, and I was the Yun Niang of the house, more than ten years older than me; Later, it was shallow, Ning'er, and I was the same age, and now the two little things on the pillow add up, and they are as big as me, isn't it that time flies, and people are not very sad... In the past, Emperor Zhaolie lamented about barnyard meat, and now I have Chiyangzi hugging the beauty and being sad, I am really a hero and cherishes the hero, and I empathize. ”

The two little girls blushed at the same time, pounded their pink fists, and fluttered on him.

When Chiyangzi lamented the passage of time in Chang'an, outside Ani City in the night, a fire rose to the sky.

The Liao people brazenly went south and formed an alliance with the Seljuk Empire in the distance to take Khorezm together.

Khorezm's current strength is no weaker than the Seljuk Empire to which he depends, although the other party was once very prosperous.

Seventy years ago, Seljuk's army entered Baghdad. Caliph al-Qa'im thanked these men for freeing him from the control of the Shiite al-Bwehi dynasty and proclaiming the Seljuk king sultan as "King of the East and the West."

Immediately afterwards, they defeated the Byzantine army at Manzikert and captured the Byzantine Emperor Romanus IV, leaving most of Asia Minor under their control.

However, in the past two decades, the Seljuks have continued to weaken, and after the death of King Malikshah, the princes have been divided and the empire has been torn apart. So the Liao allied themselves with them to get rid of the ambitious Khorezm, and the Seljuks were overjoyed.

They probably haven't heard a story called Dead Lips and Cold Teeth...

Yelu Dashi personally sat in the town, commanding the army to attack the city, and the soldiers and horses in the city looked at the huge equipment below, at a loss, not knowing what it was for.

The siege equipment created by the craftsmen of the Liao people can be said to be second only to the Great Song Dynasty.

When he fled west, Yelu Dashi even killed his son, but he insisted on bringing the craftsmen in Yunnei City. The Liao people once ruled Youyan and Yunnei for a long time, and these Han families had been in the old Ping domain for more than 100 years, during which there were countless Han people, who were their people, and brought them advanced technology.

A catapult can smash dozens of pounds of boulders into the city walls and cities in the distance. Where it was smashed, there was a constant wail, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Khorezm had just established diplomatic relations with the Liao, who were still nominally part of the Seljuk Empire, so they never dreamed that overnight, they would be attacked by two forces at the same time.

In Ani City, there are not many soldiers and horses, and they have gradually become unable to hold on. The most important thing Yelu Dashi learned from the Jin and Song people in the great battle of Song and Jin Liao in Yunnei was the importance of intelligence.

In the course of several mutual envoys, he had already figured out the strength of the troops in each of the main cities of Khorezm, and the people of Khorezm did not hide this at all.

In some places, if you ask passers-by a little on the road, you can clearly know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers who can go to the city to defend it, and the Liao people's charge has not really begun.

Finally, the city lord of Ani, who couldn't hold on, opened the city gate and chose to surrender.

Yelu Dashi smiled, led his troops into the city late at night, and personally helped up the kneeling city lord of Ani in the city, and rewarded him greatly.

The Khitan sun and moon flag is planted at the head of the city, and a new overlord has been ushered in in this land...
