"If one day, I have nothing to rely on, please bury me in, ah bury me in the spring......"

Xu Zizhen was wearing a linen cardigan, wearing a huge hat on his head, but hanging a seemingly expensive saber from his waist, riding on a white horse in the center, on the whole, it seemed a little nondescript, and this even more nondescript singing voice came from his mouth.

Next to her was a beautiful young woman with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, she was wearing a silk shirt with a good fabric, and a copper stick the thickness of an egg hung on her horseback, which seemed to be also nondescript, but it was Su San.

She turned her head and glared at Xu Zizhen, and said: "It's just that singing is so ugly, you can't sing something auspicious, what can't be buried, and besides, it's almost autumn now, do you want spring?" Leave you aside for half a year and then bury you? ”

"Hahaha! Wife, when did you become so humorous? Come to the mouth one. Xu Zizhen pouted as he spoke.

Su San's face flushed, and he slapped his face away and said, "Bao'er is still here, is it serious or not?" ”

"You mean it's okay if Bao'er isn't there...... Hey? ”

"Hey you're big!"

Boa followed the two of them, her eyes staring straight ahead, an expression that I hadn't heard anything.

From that anniversary of the founding of Yaode City to now, nearly three months have passed, not because Xu Zizhen is delaying, but because he is now under the influence of Gao Pujun and Wen Xian, he is no longer reckless in everything, so he carefully planned for a while before going out.

This time, he only took Su San and Bao'er with him, and the others dispersed after leaving Yaode City, even Gao Pujun was no exception, she took Yan Yuchun to Yingtianfu first, Xu Zizhen didn't have a conscience and didn't go to visit Kaiping Wang Yongye, but she couldn't, after all, it was her father.

So Xu Zizhen has been very relaxed these days, and he came to Xingyuan Mansion first, and a few people walked slowly with the reins, looking like ordinary tourists who took advantage of the late summer to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Xingyuan Mansion is the area of Hanzhong in Shaanxi Province in his time, this is a good place, the climate is pleasant and the scenery is intoxicating, and the two states of Suhu Lake, it is a famous land of fish and rice, before the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the so-called country of abundance is still here, not Chengdu.

After the husband and wife laughed, Bao'er turned around and asked, "Uncle, didn't you make an appointment with Uncle Bu and them in Chengdu Mansion, why did you come here?" ”

Xu Zizhen smiled: "Of course I want to go to Chengdu, but I want to come here first, because it is said that the defender here is Liu Guangshi." ”

Su San and Bao'er glanced at each other, each pursed their lips and didn't speak, Xu Zizhen kept talking like this, saying half and leaving half, what happened to Liu Guangshi? It's not his relative, what's so good-looking, it's probably because this guy provoked Xu Zizhen again, so he came to trouble him?

It has been more than four years since Xu Zizhen left Yingtianfu, and great changes have taken place in the Central Plains during this period.

The large rivers and mountains that were originally occupied by the Jin people began to shrink slowly after Wu Qimai was "under house arrest" by Xu Zizhen, and the Jin army retreated northward, and the cities became empty cities one after another.

And the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wushu, controlled most of the troops of the Jin Kingdom, a full 170,000 horses, in the initial time has been staying in the second mansion of Zhending Datong, and also divided all the way to the Daimyo's Mansion, originally he planned to take down the Taiyuan Mansion in one go, but the people are not as good as the sky, he never thought that there was such a big problem in the Jin Kingdom, he knew very well in his heart that Wu Qimai was under house arrest by Xu Zizhen, which was obviously his own willingness to follow.

After Wu Qimai disappeared, the rear of the Jin Kingdom cut off the grain and grass for Wushu, and at the same time stationed heavy troops in Daxing Mansion, that is, Juyong Pass of the Great Wall, and locked it up.

The Vulture found himself abandoned.

Kulie'er once persuaded Wushu to go back to Huining Mansion first, with these many horses in his hands, he was not afraid that he would not be able to compete for a mere Wanyan Ang and the book, but Wushu did not think so, the 170,000 army was in hand, and there was a huge piece of territory in front of him, what kind of military salary and grain and grass were worried?

So he gave up the idea of returning to the imperial city to seize power, perhaps in his opinion, what imperial power and what imperial throne are empty, and the army in hand is real.

It's a pity that his initial plan fell through, Taiyuan Mansion is the place with the most defenders on the entire Shanxi Road, and Han Shizhong is personally in charge, not to mention capturing Taiyuan City, it is not so easy to send a fine work to sneak into the city, you must know that there is Han Shizhong outside the city, and there is Xu Zizhen's Tianji Battalion in the city.

So Wushu changed his strategy after hitting the wall a few times, temporarily abandoned Taiyuan, and locked his eyes on the surrounding prefectures, and in a short time, his army occupied a large area of land from Taiyuan Mansion to the south of Xingyuan Mansion to the north.

It's been three years, and many generals of the Great Song Dynasty have not been idle in the past three years, Zong Ze stationed in Bianjing, Zhongzhong in the division stationed in Deshun Military Road, and Han Shizhong stationed in Shanxi, the three people and horses marched together and swept all the way to the north.

The Great Song Army, which had been languishing for many years, suddenly showed its iron backbone, and in just three years, the garrisons scattered everywhere were beaten back one after another, and the Jin soldiers were not a weak division, but they suffered several big defeats in front of the Song army, which was not superior in numbers.

When Xu Zizhen received the news from the Tianji Battalion, he learned that although the Wushu men and horses had not shrunk much, the territory was much smaller, and his claws originally extended to the east to Dengzhou, but now he had been beaten out of Shandong, and it seemed that even the Daimyo's Mansion could not be saved.

Wushu never thought that the Song people would have such a high fighting spirit, and he didn't expect that although Xu Zizhen disappeared, he still couldn't relax, so he gave up a large area of territory and stationed between Qingyang and Jingzhao, as long as Jingzhao Mansion was broken, he would march the army south, pointing directly at Chengdu, and then relying on Chengdu's geographical advantages to develop slowly, without worrying that there was no way out.

Xingyuan Mansion is the only way from Jingzhao Mansion to Chengdu Mansion, so the current Xingyuan Mansion has become the top priority of the Great Song Dynasty border, and the general stationed here is Liu Guangshi, who Xu Zizhen has seen once, and Liu Guangshi, who was nicknamed the long-legged general by later generations.

The sky is no longer so hot, the afternoon wind blows on the body has lost the slightest heat, only comfortable, Xu Zizhen raised the hat and glanced into the distance, and asked, "Bao'er, where is this?" ”

Bao'er said: "This should be the boundary of Xingzhou, and more than 100 miles to the northeast is Xingyuan Mansion." ”

Xu Zizhen nodded, and was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of a figure flickering in the forest next to him, and he looked carefully, but was stunned to find that it was an old man, who was trembling and grasping a rope, the rope was hanging on the treetops, and it was not true from a distance, but Xu Zizhen subconsciously noticed that something was wrong.

At this moment, I saw the old man put his head into the rope loop, and then kicked his feet, and there was a hanging there.

"Damn, someone hanged me!"
