The wind was already howling in the northwest, and the leader of the party Xiang Wuzang clan supported by Li Yiyin walked outside a palace, and the guards opened the door, and a curtain sewn from animal fur was hung inside. When the curtain was lifted, he lowered his head and walked in, most of the party members had their doors open relatively low, and they had to touch their heads when they entered.

When I walked in, I saw a stove made of stone in the middle of the house, the charcoal fire in it was glowing yellow, and the iron kettle hanging on the beam of the house was "gurgling" and steaming.

He didn't hide the felt hat on his head, bowed to Li Yiyin, who was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed, and said in party words: "Meet the king." ”

Li Yiyin's eyes didn't open, and said, "Just warm up with the roasting fire." ”

Wuzang exhaled and stretched out his hands by the stove: "I can't believe that Zhongyuan Erlang wants to choose this bad season to fight." ”

Li Yi said warmly: "Whether the weather is good or bad, they are not the only ones who endure it. ”

At this time, he opened his eyes and said in a tentative tone: "The court asked about the sins of this king, and this king took pity on the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups, and wanted to enter Tokyo to ask for the guilt in order to resolve the disaster of the soldiers." ”

Wu Zang was taken aback when he heard this: "How can the king have such an idea? ”

Li Yiyin said quietly: "The Li family has a marriage with the Daxu royal family, and this king personally entered Beijing, and it is expected that the Daxu Dynasty will not kill this king." Otherwise, it will inevitably arouse the indignation of the party and make it more difficult for the imperial court to clean up. ”

"No!" Wuzang said without hesitation, and hurriedly admonished, "Xiazhou has already declared itself a minister to the imperial court, and there is no intention of attacking. Now the king has made all the tribes obey, and he can command them; If the party loses the king, the prince has no prestige for the time being, and cannot serve the public, but the dinosaurs have no leader, and they are taken advantage of by the enemy. ”

Li Yiyin listened, and his face faintly showed a very satisfied look. He asked, "The same is true of the ministries?" ”

Wu Zang said: "The Central Plains saw that the party was separating the rivers and mountains and the mountains were flourishing day by day, and they had long been wary, and their hearts would not die." Anyone with some foresight has this thought. ”

Li Yiyin's face gradually became ruddy, his eyes were shining with the light of charcoal, and he said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for being forced, this king would never dare to rebel against the Central Plains at this time!" This king originally felt that this great thing should be completed by future generations. However, now that the knife is on the neck, the matter has come to this, there is no choice! ”

didn't hide it: "The minister just waits for the king to cheer up, and he will be ashamed!" ”

Li Yiyin said in a deep voice: "As long as the Xu army is defeated this time, the party can establish its own kingdom and live in its own land with dignity." ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, "The party members are tall and white, brave and resolute, how can they be forced to live in a fixed place and look up to others?" ”

Wu Zang also fully supported: "In this world, they are all more ferocious than anyone, as long as they win against Xu Jun, we will force them to recognize the party as a white and high power!" ”

At this moment, an attendant came in from outside the door, and reported: "Your Majesty, the Liao State has sent a letter of state." I have heard that Xu Guo is going to send troops, and sent the general Yang Gon to transfer 20,000 Liao troops to Xiazhou as reinforcements! ”

"Good!" Li Yi said happily, "This king doesn't like the Khitans, but the grassland people finally speak and don't delay." ”

Wu Zangdao: "The iron cavalry of the Liao army is very fierce, and the party warriors are not weak. ”

……

Guo Shao's Luan drove through the avenue with scattered fallen leaves and entered the Xuanyou Gate.

The place where Lu Lan lived was on the left front side of the Long Live Palace, and Guo Shao was on duty to go north, always passing through the courtyard. Today he again told the eunuch to drive the car to the west side, to go there and have a look...... But instead of looking at Lu Lan, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Xuan.

The Liao State actually wanted to exchange for Xiao Xuan at the cost of giving up the Pingxia region. This really surprised Guo Shao.

And this is the second time he hesitated. If the Liao State had watched the fire from the other side at this time, the Pingxia War would have been much simpler...... Guo Shao has waged many wars before and after, but he has always had a concept in his heart: in order to win the war, no matter what means are used, it is not too much for both sides.

Xiao Sui is indeed just a ten-year-old lady.

When Guo Shao saw her again, his attention was on her again, leaving Lu Lan and the Bai family out in the cold.

This little lady is really a beauty, but being good-looking is not what Guo Shao pays attention to...... She is the favorite woman of the Liao Emperor Yeluxian!

Guo Shao thought of this and realized that history may not be accidental. Only when Xiao Xuan was put in the heart by the emperor of Liao and really treated her well, could she have a chance to have strong power.

It seems that Xiao Xuan really can't be let go back, otherwise it won't be like history, and it may also cause long-term troubles.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan looked at Guo Shao pitifully: "Your Majesty, I miss home." ”

Guo Shao glanced at the Bai clan, who had been plundered by the Khitans, and it seemed that the Bai clan had a good relationship with Xiao Sui when he was in Youzhou. And he did not say anything unpleasant.

Xiao Sui looked at Guo Shao with expectant eyes, although she was an enemy Khitan, but a ten-year-old beautiful girl looked at her like this, it was really difficult to refuse her. She said in a coquettish tone: "Why doesn't Your Majesty let me go back?" My father will definitely thank His Majesty the Emperor in return. ”

Talking to a little girl, Guo Shao couldn't get serious, and on a whim, he joked: "Because I like you very much, I can't bear to let you go." ”

Xiao Xuan opened his mouth and looked at Guo Shao in a daze.

She then said in a childish voice: "Then Your Majesty will let me go back first, and when my father has raised me, can't you marry me again?" ”

Guo Shao smiled dumbly, this was indeed naïve, and he couldn't tell whether Xiao Sui was born smart or still a child. He said casually: "When the time comes, it's your father's turn to be reluctant." ”

He already had an idea in his heart, so he didn't stay long, said goodbye to the Bai family and Lu Niangzi, and went out of the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got on the road, the eunuch Wang Zhong stepped forward and whispered: "The slave maid just heard the little eunuch say that Concubine Li Xian is on the side of the road in front of the Long Live Palace, and I am afraid that she wants to wait to see Your Majesty." ”

If you change to another concubine and take the initiative to find the emperor like this, you have to be laughed at and accused by everyone for inviting favor. However, Guo Shao knew that Li Yueji was here for the Pingxia War.

Guo Shao suddenly didn't want to see him, there was no need to talk about this matter at all, he couldn't give up the war for the sake of the party and the county lord.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Guo Shao was driving in the Huanggai car and saw her standing on the side of the road. It was already cold, and she held her hands in front of her mouth, while watching the slowly passing car battle.

Guo Shao suddenly couldn't bear to ignore her in public, so he left and left. Not only because she has the status of an imperial concubine, but he also remembers the careful care he gave her and her closeness in front of everyone when he saw her in Lingzhou...... Even if it's just for fun. At that time, Guo Shao was going to war with the powerful Liao State, and he urgently needed to ensure that there were no problems in the northwest.

But even if it's a play, it's been good.

Guo Shao is still hard to be ruthless with beautiful women, and generally treats them as human beings. This is presumably the influence of a past life. At that time, he had nothing, and sometimes he dreamed that if any beautiful woman did not dislike him at this time, he must be like a treasure...... Now there is no shortage, but just as people who have experienced famine do not waste food, Guo Shao instinctively has no ill feelings towards women. I feel that everything is just human nature, and when he is a beauty, he has many choices, and he also wants to choose a good day, and that's it.

"Your Majesty......" Li Yueji's face was already pale from the cold, and she bent down on the side of the road to salute.

Guo Shao said: "Parking." ”

Luan drove to a stop, Wang Zhong immediately ran over, Guo Shao waved his hand, got off the carriage, looked at Li Yueji and said, "It's cold, why are you standing here, how long have you been standing?" ”

Li Yueji immediately raised her head and looked at Guo Shao with some emotion: "The concubine knows that Your Majesty has been working state affairs for a while, and she may not be on duty early." I heard the bell and drum ringing upstairs, so I got here and didn't have to wait long. ”

Guo Shao was a little surprised when he saw her expression. How good I was to her before, I didn't see her moved, and she eloped with someone. Now that she has a slightly better attitude, she is so moved......

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's windy outside, let's talk about it when I enter the Long Live Palace." ”

Li Yueji pursed her lips and hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao walked in front, she walked behind, and the two of them walked up to the pedestal together, without saying anything all the way. Li Yueji followed his footsteps and followed closely.

When I entered a temple, the air suddenly warmed. The house was already prepared, charcoal burned, red in the copper basin, without a flame, but hotter than the flame. At this time, a large amount of shallow coal (coal) was already mined, but the smell of charcoal smoke was so strong that the rich and noble did not use it.

Guo Shao sat down and didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to refuse Li Yueji's request.

At this time, Li Yueji spoke: "I didn't know anything before, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

Guo Shao said: "There is no need to mention the past, I am not a heartless person. ”

Li Yueji said softly: "Since I entered the palace, I may have been a little unaccustomed and dissatisfied, but I already know in my heart that I can only rely on Your Majesty in this life, and I can't go back......"

She muttered: "The court can't let me go, even if I return to the party, I don't have an identity." ”

Guo Shao didn't say anything, but when he listened to others, his expression was habitually very focused, and he could see at a glance that he was listening.

Li Yueji looked up at Guo Shao and said with a wry smile: "I'm not just pleading for the party...... The party members are still martial and brave, and the victory or defeat of His Majesty's expedition is unknown. I don't want everyone to kill me, no matter who is hurt, I also feel guilty, and I don't have the face to ......steal my life anymore."

Guo Shao heard her say that the party was fierce, meaning that he might still lose. The expression on his face was a little weird, and he said quietly: "Maybe King Xiping and Concubine Li Xian have underestimated the combat power of the forbidden army. ”

Li Yueji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is naturally good if he wins." But the concubine came as a marriage and reconciliation, if the Li family is ruined, and the concubine is the daughter of the Li family, what is the purpose of living?

Your Majesty, isn't it good for the two tribes to get along in harmony, why do they have to kill each other? ”

When Guo Shao heard the last sentence, he was also stunned for a moment: "Yes, why do you have to kill each other?" ”

Thinking of the "Western Xia", Guo Shao thought that if he didn't fight the party at this time, the party would have to raise troops to attack sooner or later; Before there were no nuclear weapons, killing each other seemed to be a popular way for everyone to see.
