“...... The enemy can ambush our armies and slaughter our people, but they can never defeat us. Because, as long as the battle continues, it is not a real defeat! A momentary setback is only a prelude to a final victory! Painful sacrifice is the price that must be paid to win the victory! No matter how great the price is, our enemies will definitely pay it back several times! I hereby assure you that all the sergeants have been conscripted in the river, they are skilled veterans, and they will only need a short time to readjust to the disciplined barracks, and they will grit their teeth and hope to return to the battlefield. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! An eye for an eye! Captains, in the hundred years since the founding of Great Xia, there has never been such a crisis as at this moment! We desperately need the blood of our enemies to wash away the shame that they have inflicted on us! Captains, it is not just the river that has been provoked by the Roma, but the entire Xia country! The Protectorate Oath bears witness to our oneness, and if the Roma take an inch of barren land in our river, the whole country will no longer be whole! There was a compatriot who shed precious blood, and the whole country was hurt! Captains, we can only fight, we must fight, fight to the end, and never compromise ......! ”

Conyermin's 'excited' voice echoed in the council hall, and the echo of the lieutenants sounded like a storm.

"Yes!" "Fight them to the end!"

"It's long overdue to clean them up!" "Long live the river!"

Conyers stepped down from the podium, he sat down in the front row, nodded to the captains next to him, and another captain stepped up to the podium and criticized the Turks for torturing and killing the captured sergeants. Dozens of lieutenants have already accepted the appointment of General Quan, and this is the last time they will speak at the Protectorate Mansion as lieutenants. After winter, most of the captains in the river will return to the camp to fight. In the end, most of the lieutenants agreed to issue an additional 50 million untradable registered bonds from the state treasury, and to increase the intensity of hoarding all kinds of military supplies in the river to help the families in the river who were in trouble because of the war.

"The most reckless thing to do in a war is to do so," Zhang Shanfu leaned back a little and said in a low voice: "Careful deployment and preparation are the first priority." ”

Liu Yi nodded slightly, his attitude was indispensable, and his eyes kept looking at the captain on the podium.

"Hmph, you will know when you do a lot of work," Zhang Shanfu said in a low voice, "The 'confrontation' is just the last link of the battle. ”

"Hmm." Liu Yi, who was also experienced in a hundred battles, smiled slightly, he had just passed the plan to issue registered bonds, and the purchase of various places still needed to be promoted by the captain, he did not want to cause any misunderstanding that offended the Protector Mansion, and his body also leaned back, and said in a low voice: "Li Yong burned the port of Basra, does the marching division plan to recruit him into the water?" There was a hint of admiration in his eyes, the fire burned for a whole day and a night, the sunken ships blocked the shipping lanes, and it took time to repair the damaged dock buildings. Enraged, the Sultan executed the governor of Basra and the imprisoned merchants. Egyptian grain has been transported from Basra to Baghdad, and if the port is not restored, the Sultan of Rûm will probably have to save on military rations.

"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, just luck." Zhang Shanfu obviously said something wrong, "It is impossible for two brothers to be generals in one 'door'." He shook his head and said with a smile, "The ancestor's primogeniture inheritance method is still reasonable, these two sons of the Li family are not worrying, if I am the Marquis of Bowang, I don't know who to pass on the title." However, if Li Sihai is angry, he may get an additional founding title. "Because the Protectorate stubbornly restricted the expansion of the power of the founding fathers, the opportunity to crusade against Roma was a once-in-a-century opportunity. If the vast territory of the Roma Turks is conquered, it is inevitable to divide the feuds, and in terms of military exploits, the admiral of the West Sea Division will almost certainly be a marquis, and with the title of fief, Li Sihai can open another line, and Li Yong will inherit the Marquis of Bowang.

"Li Yong is more suitable for being a businessman." Liu Yi nodded and smiled, "The painting of 'Burning Basra' is still on the way, and the price has already been raised to tens of thousands of yuan in the river, tsk, he still wants to print and sell the paintings, does he want to get back the loss of Yajiaoxing?" As he spoke, he stood up and applauded the last lieutenant with both hands.

After Liu Yi said goodbye to the lieutenants one by one, he found that Zhang Shanfu and Wu Ting had been waiting for him.

"I just got the news that the Song State seized Zhao Xingde's military power, and the civil and military forces replaced him with Cao Liangshi and Yue Fei respectively," Wu Ting said in a low voice: "He was also put under house arrest, and Zhao Xingde's three henchmen, Lu Mingyu, Luo Xianshi, and Deng Yuanjue, were not convinced, and under the banner of 'protecting the territory and the people', they joined forces to carry out the secession." Liu Yi showed surprise on his face and took over the file compiled by the Military Intelligence Department. In just two or three days, the situation in Henan in the Song Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes. On the second day of Zhao Xingde's house arrest, Lu Mingyu and Luo Xianshi gathered more than 30,000 people and received a letter from Zhao Xingde on the way to Bianliang. After the two generals convened the envoys to discuss, although they received the holy decree to return to the division of Hefang, they divided their troops into Tang, Deng, Cai, Ru, Guang and other prefectures and counties, and Deng Yuanjue then also divided his troops into Hua, Pu, and Cao Zhuzhou counties. These actions to improve and consolidate the zone have not been hindered in the slightest. General Lu, Luo, and Deng immediately submitted a table to Cao Liangshi and Yue Fei, the content was exactly the same, except for Daohe, asking the two adults to avenge Zhao Xingde's grievances, and not to change the various systems of Tuntian, Henan, otherwise the morale of the army and the people would be unstable.

"Kanto is actually doing it at this time?" Liu Yi closed the file and asked, "What is the plan of the marching division?" ”

"It doesn't get much better than that." Zhang Shanfu frowned and said, "Zhao Xingde's stay in Henan is a big problem. ”

His fingers tapped rhythmically against the window. "We can't miss the opportunity, we will contact Lu Mingyu, Luo Xianshi, Deng Yuanjue, Guanzhong's grain, cotton 'flowers' and other things for the apprentices to help their families, if Bianliang agrees to release it, it is really not possible to go to Hedong. Without Zhao Xingde in the middle to co-ordinate, their defense may have a 'hole', maybe they will send a few marching horses over, but this is a later story. As for Zhao Xingde...... The Military Intelligence Department will disclose his status as an envoy, of course, as well as his military exploits, and the relief of the workers and apprentices in the western part of the country, so that the Song people will know how my generals in Daxia have worked hard for the Kwantung Han people, and see how the Song court ends. ”

Wu Ting nodded sympathetically, Zhao De is a talent, but he is a little rebellious. No one knows better than him the difficulty of turning the devastated Henan into an iron bucket. However, Wu Ting also concluded that Zhao Xingde would never betray the trust of the Song State and coerce dozens of prefectures and counties in Henan to defect to the Xia State. No one can 'penetrate' a person's understanding of loyalty and faithfulness better than the Military Intelligence Department, and because of this, Wu Ting firmly supported the March Division to transfer Zhao Xingde back, but not to Annan, but to Anxi, as a general of the Xia State, he should go to conquer a wider country. Zhang Shanfu thought that Zhao Xingde would ask for help from the marching division, so that he could control Henan at a lower price, but who expected that this young man would once again disappoint the marching division. In order to stabilize the eastern front, Zhang Shanfu tolerated Zhao Xingde's own assertion and did not interfere with Zhao Xingde's raising of money and grain in Guanzhong, but the Song court helped the marching division punish Zhao Xingde's self-assertion, and as long as he made good use of it, he could reap great benefits. The Song Dynasty was cowardly and unreasonable, and the general of the Xia State saved the people from fire and water, which will prompt the hearts of the people in the Kwantung region to fall to the Xia State in the future.

Liu Yi's face darkened slightly, closed the file, and nodded: "It's a pity." ”

The carriage stopped in front of the General's Mansion, Wu Ting and Zhang Shanfu said goodbye and got off, and the carriage slowly moved forward again. It's the middle of winter, and pedestrians are almost always wearing black 'colored' fur furs or padded jackets. With the recruitment of a large number of non-commissioned officers, the "women" and "women" had to do the work that was originally done by men, and after the 'spring' season next year, the price of cotton cloth and silk will gradually rise. First the grain, then the cotton, and then all the necessities of life will go up, and as long as the war continues, the people's lives will become more and more difficult.

"Go to Linquan Palace and meet Your Majesty."

............

In the vast white field, a group of people and horses are like ants moving forward with difficulty.

Li Ruobing's head and face were wrapped in a dogskin hat, his eyebrows and beard were covered with frost and flowers, his eyes looked motionless ahead, and above the high felt cart, the emperor and empress of the Song Kingdom were frozen in the cold wind. He felt a tingling pain in his heart, gasped, took out a water bladder from his arms, and poured it with a "goo-dong", the cold and biting snow water made him freeze and numb from the inside out, so that he could not bear to look up at the weak figure often.

"Chagan, you have to be careful that the beads in your eyes fall off, and that 'woman' can't touch them."

poked his waist next to him, Li Ruobing turned his head, it was the rapping Brunn. In this escort team of various ethnic groups, Bruen is a real Khitan, but his status in the clan is not high, and he drives horses and feeds horses like Li Ruobing. Although he was already tanned, he was still much whiter than the average shepherd. "I really don't understand you, Chagan," Bruen rapped to himself, "There are so many 'women' snatched by the Southern Dynasty, I'll tell you....." Seeing the mystery on his face, looking at those haggard palace 'women' Nunu, Li Ruobing shook his head angrily, and walked to the front in two or three steps, his heart was full of humiliation.

Nearly 100,000 Song captives set off from Bianliang, all the way slowly north, constantly people were taken out of the team on the way, and some slaves were brought in, in general, the further north the fewer the number, finally arrived in Youzhou, the Liao Emperor passed down the decree, let the Song Emperor and the important ministers be escorted to Shangjing, so the team set off again, Li Ruobing was not a "heavy minister", but he won a place as a groom. He can not only feed the horses and drive the horses, but also 'fine' the Khitan small characters, and can help the head of the horseman, Lu Bugu, read and write military orders, Lu Bugu is very satisfied, and even promised him that in the future, if he has the opportunity, he will help him pretend to be a naturalized grassland barbarian and register as a Khitan household registration in their tribe.
