The first snow was wet. The snow came down from north to south, covering the area of Xiaochanglu, and from morning to afternoon, the snow began to melt, and at night, it began to freeze again, and people stepped on it and creaked.

Tongjing, which was almost about to be expanded, was almost completely occupied by the rebels of the Krozi tribe and the Tuhuts. It was precisely because this was the new capital announced by the Eastern Xia that they felt extremely excited, and coupled with the strategy proposed by the Tuhu Special National Master to join forces with Gao Xian and echo the Central Plains, it seemed that the victory over the Eastern Xia was promising. However, with the alliance between Dongxia and Gao Xian on the shore of Huangshui, they have been disappointed, and in the past few days, they have planned to withdraw their troops and fly away. And once there is this kind of psychology, there is an irreparable rift between the Tuhut and the Krozi tribe.

Right. Winter.

If the winter, for every nomadic tribe, is an extremely serious problem, the Tuhut people all the way east, did a lot of looting, the Crozi army raised, but also seized a lot of supplies, but both sides are staring at the other party's hands, Tuhut Tiebazhen put it forward, saying that he has a lot of people, and also put it up in shorthand, saying that he is tantamount to a rebellion, no savings...... The two sides have been fighting each other privately.

It was precisely because the Eastern Xia soldiers pressed the realm and it was not easy to escape from afar, so they did not break up and struggled to maintain it.

The sudden snow brought them joy, because of the snow, the momentum of the Eastern Xia army will definitely be curbed, because of the snow, they can withdraw their troops at any time, and they will not worry that the Eastern Xia will not lose the tail, because the country of Eastern Xia is close to the south, do they know that the northern desert is cold in winter? Do they dare to spend the winter in the northern desert? When they heard that Dia Bird was killing people by the Huangshui River, they became even more determined.

Why did Dia Bird kill?

Winter was approaching, and he knew that the war would soon end, so he dared to kill the rebels in large numbers, and he was also forcing the rebels to flee north.

On this snowy night, the chiefs and tribes led by the Great Khan of Tuhu gathered together to drink heartily, can you win? If you can't win, just run.

He didn't dare to chase after him anyway.

Only Luo Wenyi, the national teacher of Tuhute, was sullen, and he had been given the surname of Tuhut - Qiyan. The hall was staggered, the candles were blazing, and under the corridor, he was pacing left and right, he walked over and over again, until someone called out "National Teacher", and then turned his head.

The one who called him was the general Lu Mugu, who had just escaped from the defeat of Lafeng River.

He lost the battle, it was the national teacher who saved him, and he also defended the defeat, and even from the founding of the Eastern Xia in that year, he sent an envoy to the Eastern Xia, and said that the Eastern Xia was incomparable...... This is ridiculed. Although the Tuhuts suffered a lot in the war, the Eastern Xia was a fixed country, they could not move on horseback and high carts, and there would always be a day when they would decline, and they would be eaten by the wolves from the desert plateau.

How could Lu Mugu, who had received a cold reception, sit with them and drink and have fun?

So he came out.

When he saw that the national teacher was under the corridor, he had relatives in his heart, so he came and said, "They are too optimistic." Dongxia suffered a huge loss this time, and really let us escape to the desert? ”

Qiyan Guoshi sighed: "There are heroes on horseback, and there are few far-sighted people." That's why I'm here to protect you. ”

He also said: "Before this time I sent people to the Central Plains, we have been in contact for a long time, you know? The Son of Heaven in the Central Plains gave us a hint, and this is the reason why I strongly advocated sending troops this time. Once far away, this echo will weaken, if the troops can fight desperately and consume his Eastern Xia forces, will Jingkang give up their chance? If you plunder, you will run, and you will never become a big climate. ”

Lu Mugu's eyes narrowed, and he nodded slightly.

But these few words are just between the two of them, this is the thought of the Central Plains people, who accepts such a point of view on the grassland?

Can you herd in one place forever?

Lu Mugu pleaded: "Let me go south, I am willing to make meritorious contributions, break through the obstruction, arrive in Jingkang, and persuade the emperor of the Central Plains." ”

Qiyan Guoshi shook his head: "Although we didn't take the initiative to find this ally, but they found us, and the emperor of the Central Plains no longer needs to convince ...... When I sent my messenger to Gaoxian, I had already taken it out to convince them. Gao Xianren was frightened by Dongxia. ”

There was another snowstorm in the sky.

The wind and snow enveloped them here, making the tail of Qi Yan Wenyi's sideburns swaying gently, this is destined to be a quiet night.

On the same night, Shi Wenqing had already gone to the palace, and so far, he had not received an order to let him settle the Lin Zhong clan, but he was still physically and mentally exhausted.

When he got home, his two wives surrounded him and threw him to the dining table to serve, hoping that he would bring back some interesting stories from the court.

But he ate quietly, and after a while he said, "Turi." Go back to your brother's house tomorrow and see if there is anything missing at home. As soon as their father and son said that they were leaving, they screamed, it is estimated that the family is a mess, and while I am here, I can't help but ask. Maybe in a few days, if you get busy again, you won't be able to take care of it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone asked to see him.

He was appointed by Dia Bird to dispatch, he didn't dare to slack off, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the other hall to pick it up, and when he arrived in the other hall, it was a person from Di Axiao's side, and he came up and handed over a list.

He glanced at it and said in surprise: "There is no war in Dingxia Erzhou now, why did Brother Wang ask for so many ordnance?" ”

Came to the humanitarian: "After the marshal arrived, he inspected the armies and found that the ordnance was old and unbearable, thinking that it was because he had nothing to do with the Central Plains for so many years, because he was afraid that there would be extraneous branches during the war, so he asked people to list what he needed, sent it to the prime minister, and gave him full support. ”

There is such a possibility.

Eastern Xia Yixin and the Central Plains are better, and for the two states of Dingxia, there has been no war for a long time...... Shi Wenqing took a look, and the seal on it had been stamped a lot, and it seemed that others thought it was no problem, since this was the case, he thought about it for a while, and also stamped his seal, but he asked to say: "The old ones have to pay a number of backs, and during the period of the national war, military funds are tight." The person who came hurriedly thanked him. Shi Wenqing has special characteristics for doing things, and he doesn't leave him to eat, so he turns around and goes back.

Back at the dinner table, ate for a while, and finished. He suddenly felt uneasy, shouted, and the family order hurriedly ran over. He told his family order: "Prepare pen and ink paper, I will write a letter to the king, and I must explain to him about the king's request for armament." ”

With that, he got up.

With his head down and walking, he was still muttering to himself: "Nest car." It seems that there is a nest car part in it. What does he want the nest car for? ”

The snow has not yet fallen to Yuyang.

Quietly outside, during the war, almost all the men left, but in order to maintain law and order, there was a curfew system. Bogulu came out of the official office, holding a money bag in one hand and a skirt in the other, running wildly on the deserted street...... Today is too late, he forgot that his world friend Shi Jingzhong of the Lie Shiduo family came to Dongxia to study, and by the way participated in the talent ceremony, he was selected, and he was sent to the Northern Plains, he said that he was going to send people away, but the official office was too busy, and at this time, he didn't even care about sending a horse.

He remembered that Shi Jingzhong's entanglement was about to be exhausted, but because he couldn't do without the official office, he couldn't get it, and this bag of money was all borrowed from his colleagues in the official office on the spot.

Panting for a while all the way, he met the soldiers patrolling the city, showed his waist card, and finally ran to the place where he had made an appointment with Shi Jingzhong, looked left and right, but remembered that there was a curfew at this time, and he couldn't stand here and wait, so he couldn't help but be annoyed that he didn't pull out the horse, and after a little groaning, he went straight to the Guanjia Horse Station where they set off together to the Northern Plains.

Running to the station, there were dozens of people from the official mansion who were going to the North Plains, and from afar, he saw Shi Jingzhong mixed in there, carrying a big bookcase, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted. Shi Jingzhong turned his head, he had already rushed to him, carrying the money bag and clenching his fists with the people on the left and right.

Everyone also saluted him, and through the brooch on the official palace, everyone recognized his rank and showed respect.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui handed the money bag to Shi Jingzhong and said, "Brother." I almost couldn't get out. It's too busy, and you can't hold it to others, so you don't have much coiled on your body, so you are in a hurry. ”

Shi Jingzhong smiled, touched it in his arms for a moment, and took out some silver tickets and rubbed them between his fingers.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui knew that the amount was a lot at a glance, stood in front of him and was stunned, and then asked, "Where did you get so much money?" The land sold at home and sent it to you? ”

Shi Jingzhong shook his head and said with a smile: "My painting was sold, and it was bought by Xiao Langjun, and I got as much as a thousand guan." ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui thought for a moment and shouted, "Is that the tiger gnawing on the peony?" Who is so blind? ”

Shi Jingzhong sneered and said, "You know a fart." Do you know the truth of my paintings? That painting? He said a little angrily, "You don't understand it." I told you earlier, the painting is the current king, he has been in Lingwu, we have all seen it...... That has a profound meaning. ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui said with a dark face: "Anyway, I lied to the child." ”

Shi Jingzhong's cultivation was not bad, and he sighed and said, "Forget it." I won't talk nonsense with you. Lingwu is still Jingkang now, you are an official in Dongxia, and I also started to be an official in Dongxia, Dongxia is relieved, but I don't know if Lingwu can go back easily, and the government will not arrest us. ”

He suddenly remembered something, put down the bookcase, rummaged in it, rummaged for a while, and said: "In order to repay that little Langjun, I also bought his paintings, I originally heard that General Zhang of the North Plains likes books, and I want to give it to him in the North Plains, catch up with you to send me, and there is nothing to leave behind, so I will give it to you." This painting may also surprise you, although it has a sense of meaning, but it is too neat, and the traces of the brush are too heavy. ”

He found the painting, and unfolded it for Bo Gulu Tai Sui by the lamplight, and everyone came together to look at it, and after a while, they were amazed, and one of them was also talented, and exclaimed: "What a great momentum." Unprecedented Ascending Tigers. Shi Xiucai, you are not authentic, and you go and say that he is not good at painting. ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui read: "The tiger blows the bird on the clouds, and a roar is exchanged for the rising sun." ”

Bo Gulu said brightly: "Maybe you don't know, this sentence was written by the younger brother of that little Langjun, age?" Teenagers. ”

Someone immediately questioned: "What kind of tone is this?" ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui immediately refused, and said in his mouth, "Give me a picture made by a child, I don't want it", but he stuffed the money bag into his bookcase and said loudly: "Let's see if you can bluff General Zhang." General Zhang's man? He knows calligraphy and painting? It is the king's elegant general, who makes him vassal. After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly, turning back and shouting as he walked: "Have a good trip, there are still a lot of things waiting for the official office." ”
