Tang Xu's garrison of Luling Fortress was fine for three days, and he didn't see the Seven Nations Alliance heading south, and finally saw Han Ze leading the army. The Song army assembled, and the Luling fortress was overcrowded for a while.

"Tang Xu, why don't you go after the traitor?" Han Ze asked.

Tang Xu replied: "The art of war is cloudy, and the army is not in danger, so it does not dare to act without authorization."

Han Ze was just angry, and he didn't care too much, after all, what Tang Xu said was reasonable.

However, the traitor Si Jie is afraid that he has already surrendered to the enemy with 26,000 horses, Han Ze gritted his teeth, Qin Huai, Qin Huai, can you afford such a big gift?

I have to say that Qin Huai is indeed not a philistine, and he lobbied the countries twice by relying on his incorruptible tongue, compared to the previous five-nation alliance, this time the seven-nation alliance is more powerful.

Song Xiao naturally would not let go of Qin Huai easily, the 100,000-strong army had already opened the Luling Fortress, and Zou Gu took the initiative to ask for orders to lobby.

Salute first and then soldier, this is Song Xiao's rule.

Zou Gu set out from Wuyi, passed through the Mangyuan, passed through the Luling Fortress, and finally arrived at the Tang Kingdom.

"Why did the saint come?" King Tang met with Zou Gu.

"Naturally, I came for the peace of the world," he said, "My king wishes that the world will be peaceful, and there will be no soldiers, but some people have gotten to confuse the people and bewitch the princes to delusionally want to start a war again. ”

"Who is the one who lies to confuse the people?" Tang Wang asked.

"The king naturally knows." Zou Gu said kindly.

"The widow doesn't know." King Tang glared angrily.

Zou Gu frowned, where did this Tang King get his confidence? Or are you pretending to be stupid and foolish?

"In the past, the traitor Qin Huai instigated the Five Kingdoms to make a rebellion, but now the Seven Nations Alliance, the king really doesn't know?" Zou Gu asked.

"Song Xiao worships you as a saint, but the widow doesn't recognize you as a saint, so what if the widow knows? What if you don't know? Tang Wang replied with a smile, all with a smirk.

Zou Gu's face does not change color, the most important thing in the vertical and horizontal faction is the heart, it is common to run into a wall and eat deflated, but since Song Xiao succeeded as the Taifu of Dali, who in the world dares not to sell Zou Gu's face? Moreover, Zou Gu himself is also the first saint in the world.

"King Tang, my king is very disgusted with Qin Huai, a traitor, and hopes that King Tang will not go all the way to the dark." Zou Gu's words were not without threats.

"Hmph, you're threatening the widow?" Tang Wang walked in front of Zou Gu, face to face, staring, and the spirit of the king was undoubtedly revealed.

"Threats are not talkative, they are just advice." Zou Gu and Tang Wang looked at each other, just the princes of a small country, he didn't pay attention to it. In the past ten years, there have been more arrogant princes than the Tang Dynasty, which one can still survive until now?

"Do you want your advice?" King Tang circled around Zou Gu, looked him up and down, and said, "I heard that Zou Gu is a saint, why don't you help the Li room, but help him to abuse?" ”

Zou Gu raised his eyebrows, this Tang King was really arrogant, and it was difficult to get along, so he replied: "What is aiding and abusing?"

"Song Xiao's old thief is bent on plagiarizing the world, do you really think that the world is full of unsubservient people?" King Tang waved his hand to send off the guests, and admonished, "Song Xiao can raise troops and wait for the widow." ”

"Please also ask King Tang to tell Si Jie that his family is doing well in Wuyi." Zou Gu said goodbye, obviously the Seven Kingdoms had already been tied to a chariot, I am afraid that Qin Huai had already poured enough ecstasy into the seven princes, and Zou Gu didn't want to bother talking anymore. Just seven countries, thinking that they can compete with the Song Kingdom?

As soon as Zou Gu left, Qin Huai came out, high-fived and said, "The king is noble and noble, and Huai admires."

King Tang replied worriedly: "Huai, the widow is betting on the fortunes of a country, and the Song Kingdom is really terrible."

"Is there still a lot of lessons to be learned? Song Xiao's heart is known to the world. Qin Huai replied respectfully, now he is worshiped as the minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and he wears the seal of the Seven Kingdoms, how illustrious? It's just that the price is too great, and the princes also know that Song Xiao will set foot in Jizhou sooner or later, and they are afraid that Qin Huai will use them as pawns, so on the day of the alliance, Qin Huai admitted that he would no longer return to the country, but just to make a living for the world.

In the twenty-sixth year of King Lihe, Ji Chun, the Song generals Han Ze and Tang Xu attacked the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers came to the king's house. The Seven Nations Alliance joined forces to help, worshiped Qin Huai as the commander, and Uncle Qiao as the main general, with a total of 300,000 troops.

The battle lasted from Jichun to Mengxia, and the supplies of the Song army could not keep up, and the 50,000 defeated troops withdrew to Luling Fortress.

Meng Xia, Song Xiao sent an army of 80,000 to aid Luling Fortress, this battle was unprecedented, 500,000 troops were invested in the Wangwu battlefield, and another 300,000 troops were invested in Luling Fortress.

The news that came back to Wuyi from the north was all bad news, and Song Xiao and Sangong discussed all day.

"Don't be desperate, king." Ou Yao said. Shi Hui is the main battle, Zou Gu and Ou Yao are the main peace.

Shi Hui also said: "Your Majesty, the Song Kingdom has millions of soldiers, and if you can't even win a small country, I'm afraid it will become a laughing stock in the world."

Song Xiao originally thought that the Seven Nations Alliance in the Northern Territory was like eating and drinking, but who knew that the 300,000 troops invested before and after would actually fall behind, so he asked: "I don't know what Qin Huai has done, and the Seven Kingdoms in the North are so tenacious."

To the north of Luling, the Seven Nations Alliance Army was ready to go, and the generals were discussing, Qin Huai said: "Song is like a tiger wolf, we are sheep, Song Xiao thinks that the army of tigers and wolves can sweep the Eight Desolations, do you really think that we are all tied up?" The battle of Wangwu defeated the Song army, and when the Luling fortress was broken through the Song land, there was no barrier, and Song Xiao could be captured alive by waving his army south. ”

Fu General Fu Qi asked Qin Huai rhetorically: "Xiangguo, if you drive out the tiger and wolf, protect the family and defend the country, and restore Dali, the last general will take the lead; If Xiangguo has two hearts, the last general can return to my king. ”

Qin Huai and Si Jie glanced at each other, and Si Jie smiled and comforted Fu Qi: "General Fu, Xiangguo has long said frankly that he will not return to the country, and the general doesn't believe it?"

"There is no basis for empty words," Sang General Sang Li snorted coldly, "General Si, you were originally a Houthi, first voted for the Song Dynasty, and then switched to the Prime Minister's country, ignoring his wife and children, and working with you would have been uneasy." ”

Sang Li's words poked at the pain point of Si Jie, his wife and children are still in Song Xiao's hands, but how can he be bound by personal feelings when he has a big incident? In Houthis, he was just a last class, and he switched to Song Xiao, who said it well, and said it badly, but he was just a Bi Ma Wen.

Plugged in the extreme cold, and separated from his wife and children, so recommended by Xiahou Zhongqing, he gritted his teeth and promised to switch to Qin Huai, as long as the big thing can be accomplished, the official will worship the third prince in the future.

Sang Li choked Si Jie speechless, the Seven Nations Alliance was originally a loose alliance temporarily formed under Song Xiao's coercion, and there was already discord within the Seven Kingdoms.

Qin Huai walked out of the military tent, and Xiahou Zhongqing and Uncle Qiao followed.

"Uncle Qiao." Qin Huai looked sad and sighed.

"Prince, the Seven Kingdoms are not worthy of the prince's low voice." Uncle Qiao was indignant, if he hadn't been stopped by Xiahou Zhongqing, he would have fought with a few rats in the camp just now.

"But now there is no other way, King Lu doesn't miss the old feelings, or I don't have a bargaining chip to negotiate with King Lu, who else can I rely on except the small country of Jizhou?" Qin Huai cried sadly, and Uncle Qiao also cried.

"Prince, if you are like this, the old minister would rather go to shepherd sheep again and never ask about the world," Xiahou Zhongqing said righteously, "The old minister has been shepherding sheep for two years, and he was originally disheartened, but he learned that the prince was going to raise a big event, and the old minister could assist him, and he was honored." If the prince is like this, it is better to surrender as soon as possible. ”

Qin Huai wiped away his tears, his face was ashamed, and he arched his hand and said, "It's Huai's rudeness."

Xiahou Zhongqing's face looked better, and said: "Now that the Seven Nations Alliance only relies on the crown prince, how can Song Xiao give up?" Since you are in the game, there is only a difference between victory and defeat, and there is no way to retreat. Moreover, Ou Yao has now won Song Xiao's trust, Qiao Min is Qiao Min, and he is still waiting for the prince. ”

"So according to Situ's opinion......" Qin Huai asked.

"According to the old man's opinion, as long as the military strength of the Song army is consumed, when Song Xiao is tired of coping, the prince will raise his arms and shout, and Qiao Min will naturally rise up and respond to every call." Xiahou Zhongqing swore and said.

"The Seven Nations Alliance just wants to protect the territory and the people, and has no great ambitions, and the prince has far-sightedness, so why should he be knowledgeable with them?" Xiahou Zhongqing hit the nail on the head, the old sheep crawled, and his ambition was thousands of miles.

"Prince, there is movement in Luling." Uncle Qiao pointed in the direction of Luling and said.

Qin Huai looked around, and sure enough, the crowd was in turmoil, Qin Huai was overjoyed, and now the Seven Nations Alliance couldn't retreat if they wanted to.

The three of them hurried back to the military tent, and Tang Xu of Luling Fortress led the army out of the pass to meet the battle, and the two armies were arrayed.

"Sangkook, look." Fu Qi pointed to the Luling Fortress and said.

Han Ze of Luling Fortress was holding a sword, and there was a woman beside him, and there was an old woman beside the woman.

"Si Jie is treasonous, you really don't want a wife and children?" Han Ze scolded.

Si Jie's expression was flustered, the woman was his wife, and the old woman was the old mother, and sure enough, Song Xiao was still unscrupulous.

"Han Ze, woe to your wife and children, please don't embarrass the old lady." Qin Huai shouted at Han Ze, his face beside him was like ashes, and his eyes were full of tears.

Qin Huai knew that although Si Jie was determined to give up his wife and children, he was not hard-hearted, how could he give up? At this time, if he didn't stand up and say something, I am afraid that his heart would be chilled.

"Han Ze, Han Ze, I am inseparable from you." Si Jie cried and shouted, kneeling on the ground again to ask for battle, "Xiangguo, the last general is willing to give up his small family, please allow me to fight." ”

"Okay," Qin Huai knelt down on one knee, "Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, General Si is righteous, and Huai admires." ”

Si Jie led the army to fight, Tang Xu faced the battle, and the battle of Luling Fortress resumed, this is the game between the Seven Nations Alliance and the Song State, one side wants to live, the other side wants to expand the land, and the contradictions are irreconcilable. This is also a game between Qin Huai and Song Xiao, one side wants to restore the country, and the other side wants to clear the obstacles to the great cause of Wang Hegemon.

In this battle, the Song State invested 300,000 troops, and the Song State had tens of millions of Li people, thousands of miles of fertile land, hundreds of cities, and millions of male soldiers could not afford to consume.

In this battle, the Seven-Nation Alliance gambled on the fortunes of the country and took out all its net worth, if it is defeated, I am afraid that all the Seven Kingdoms will be lost.

In the first battle, Si Jie was defeated, seriously wounded, and all 20,000 troops were lost.

The Seven Nations Alliance discussed again, and the three kingdoms of Tang, Fu, and Sang had already retreated, and they were unwilling to be enemies of the Song State anymore, and the national strength really did not allow them to make useless struggles anymore.

"If you want to retreat, you will retreat, and Huai will never obstruct it." Qin Huai changed his old style and said, "The defeat of the Song army in the Battle of Wangwu depends on the unity of the Seven Kingdoms. Now that the enemy is retreating, do you really think that Song Xiao will ignore the past suspicions? ”

Fu Qi and Sang Li looked at each other, and they were indeed in a dilemma at the moment. If you fight again, even if you win, I am afraid that the national strength will be exhausted; If the army is withdrawn, the remaining four countries will be defeated, and Song Xiao, who is a cunning fox, can only take advantage of it and never suffers losses, will he easily let himself go?

Seeing that a few people hesitated, Qin Huai arched his hand and said: "Song Xiao has no way, vainly trying to steal the fortune of the country, coveting Jiuding, you are all the people of the Dali Dynasty, even Si Jie can give up a small family for the great cause, are you willing to watch the fire from the other side?" More than ten countries in Yuzhou fell under Song Xiao, a lesson from the previous car and a division of the rear car. ”

Qin Huai's words completely dispelled the doubts of the Seven Nations Alliance, whether it was for the Li family, for the monarch, or for his wife and children, he could only be tied to Qin Huai's chariot.

The battle between the Seven-Nation Alliance and the Song State lasted from Wangwu to Luling, from Jichun to midsummer, and finally came to an end. The Song army invested 300,000 soldiers, but in the end it won a crushing victory, and it was unable to advance north. The 400,000-strong army of the Seven-Nation Alliance was still defeated, and its national strength was almost exhausted.

Both were defeated, Qin Huai's whereabouts are unknown, some say he died in battle, some say he hid. Whether it was Song Xiao or the monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms, they all hated Qin Huai to the core, but they didn't find him even after digging three feet into the ground.

In the twenty-sixth year of King Lihe, Mengxia.

Gongsun Linqin, the general of Chu Zhengbei, led an army of 100,000 to attack Meng, on the grounds that Meng's sheep crossed the border and stole the seedlings of Chu.

Meng failed to sue for peace, and the request for help was fruitless, only the friendly neighbor Jiao Guo was willing to help, and the two countries gathered a total of 60,000 horses, and the entire army was wiped out in less than a month.

In the twenty-sixth year of King Lihe, in midsummer, Meng and Jiao died in the country.

In the twenty-sixth year of King Lihe, Ji Chun.

King Bai Tengyun of Lu was the general to crusade against Jizhou, and Jizhou fell except for the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and the Yan State.

In the twenty-sixth year of King Lihe, in midsummer, Sima Luozhan of Shu personally led the army to the east of Chu Chuan, and the soldiers commanded the Qi State.

Qi asked for help from the Tong State, and the war between the Three Kingdoms resumed.

In the twenty-sixth year of King Lihe, in midsummer, King Bailu, the general of the Chu State to conquer the west, led the army to break through Qianzhong and Wuling, and the soldiers pointed to Fuling. The general of Chu conquered the north, Gongsun Lin, and destroyed Meng, and Jiao Hou's soldiers pointed to Wucheng.

The great disaster is coming.

The general trend of the world is clear again, Jizhou has Yan and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, Yanzhou has Da Lihe Zhongshan, Song occupies the fertile soil of Yuzhou, Lu occupies the land of Qingzhou, Wu Yue occupies Xu and Yangzhou, Chu occupies Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Baiyue, Husai lives in Yongzhou, and Liangzhou has Shu, Mandarin and Qi.

There are only the Dali Dynasty and the Eighteen Kingdoms in the world.

The Dali Dynasty has run out of energy, whether it is the Song Dynasty's crusade against the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, or the Lu State's destruction of the small state of Jizhou, or even the destruction of Meng and Jiao, Dali has no voice.

Zhongshan and Li are concentric, Li is speechless, and Zhongshan is as silent as stagnant water.

Jizhou Yan is the northernmost country, and there are Bai Di and Chi Di as the disaster party, and they are still breathing.

Although the Seven Kingdoms of Jizhou worked together to resist the invasion of the Song State, their national strength was weakened and they were no longer able to protect themselves, and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance became closer, sandwiched between the Housthis, Song and Lu, and would be erased in an instant.

No one doubted that the Song army was unable to fight again, it can only be said that Song Xiao has made a big move again, after all, the Seven Nations Alliance is fat, Song Xiao doesn't eat it, it's not that he can't eat it, but there are bigger delicacies in front of him.

After Lu Xiaobai ascended the throne, he had Teng Yun's help, and rose rapidly, swept away the small country of Qingzhou and then destroyed Laiyi, and finally pointed to Jizhou and touched the world.

Hussai Weixiu couldn't break the Yang Pass, so he also began to conquer Jizhou, and Wei Guo bore the brunt. The Houthi iron cavalry is invincible in the world, and the Song State can only avoid its edge.

The seven generations of Ming Jun of Chu State have worked hard, Xiong Ranqing is out of blue, assisted by three saints, and has four expeditions and four towns, how can he be willing to be silent?

The civil war between Wu and Yue continued, and the two prefectures of Xu and Yang were vast for thousands of miles, and the people of Fufu were abundant, which should not be underestimated.

As for the three kingdoms of Liangzhou, Shu is the strongest, and although the two countries of Fang and Qi continue to be national, there is no successor, whether it is Chu or Shu.

In the middle of summer, a caravan arrived in Bayang.

"Jue, I'm home." Shi Yanzhou woke up the sleeping Jue, and the two got out of the car and said goodbye to the caravan.

"This is home?" Jue rubbed his eyes and asked.

Shi Yanzhou nodded, led Jue to the bank of the Zongjiang River, and the two went down the river and landed at the west of the Zongxi.

"This is Qingfengpu." Shi Yanzhou pointed to Qingfeng on the riverside and said.

"Taoli Mountain in the distance is Mr. Meng's Taoli School."

Jue didn't remember anything, Shi Yanzhou pointed it out to him all the way.

"This is your home." Shi Yanzhou stopped in front of the hut and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"Mother." Jue slammed the door, but no one answered.

"Let's go to my house for dinner first." Shi Yanzhou shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

"I'm not going, I'm waiting for my mother here." Jue shook his head, he circled the hut three times, but he had no impression, and he still couldn't sketch the appearance of his mother.

Behind the house is a bamboo forest, there is a small dirt bag, and there is nothing else.

"Jue."

Jue heard someone shouting, and looked at an old man, he didn't remember, so he had to salute from afar.

"I'm Uncle Jade," the man came closer, gesturing, and exclaiming, "I've grown taller, and it's all up to my shoulders." ”

"Uncle Jade is good." Shi Yanzhou came over and asked.

"It's the Shi family's boy," Uncle Yu squinted and asked, "Did you learn from Mr. Meng?" ”

Shi Yanzhou shook his head and said, "This time I sent Jue back, and Mr. Meng asked me to ask if what I said last time counted."

Uncle Yu still replied with a smile: "Convey to Mr. Meng for me, Chan'er left with her uncle."

Shi Yanzhou came back from this trip for three things, one was to send Jue home, the second was that Mr. Meng promised to find a master for Yuchan, and the third was a big event.

Now that the next two are over, he handed over the Wuguan citrus knife to Jue and said goodbye, Mr. Meng explained that it was urgent, and he did not dare to delay.

The boy is thirteen years old, and he is a child who grew up in the west, but the difference is one year, one is an idiot, and the other is already a talent.

One side of the water and soil to support two types of people.

"Are you hungry?" Uncle Jade asked.

Jue nodded.

"Come home with me." Uncle Jade said lovingly.

Jue nodded and went home with him.

"Where's my mother?" Jue asked.

"If you don't go home, your mother will look for you." Uncle Jade squinted and said.

"When will you be back?" Jue asked again.

"I'll come back when you grow up," Uncle Yu touched Jue's head, and generally asked about his own opinions, "Will you follow Uncle Yu in the future?" Your mother confessed. ”

Since it was his mother's confession, Jue didn't dare not listen, so he nodded.

The mother is not there, Mr. Meng is not there, Shi Yanzhou is not there, Liu Changan is not there, and Jue only recognizes the jade uncle in front of him.

"Uncle Yu, who is Chan'er?" Jue suddenly asked. Shi Yanzhou had mentioned it to Uncle Yu before, so he wanted to ask.

"You'll see you later." Uncle Yu replied with a smile.

"Do you want to wait until I grow up?"

"Grow up quickly."
