As the midday sun struggled to shine through the thick window paper into the warm attic. Wu Haogu, who lingered with Empress Dowager Xiao until the second half of the night last night, felt his stomach gurgling, yawned again, and finally opened his sleepy eyes.

"Cussian? Howling? ”

Wu Haogu, who woke up, found himself lying alone on the soft bed, and there was no trace of Empress Dowager Xiao beside him.

The Queen Mother arrived at Wujiakou Commercial Market with her newborn son Yeluyi in a light car yesterday afternoon.

Wujiakou is about the location of Zhangjiakou in later generations, which is the southern starting point of the throat road leading to the Bashang grassland in the Xuanhua Valley area. It happens to be a small valley, and there is also a river called the Qingshui River that flows through the valley to the Yang River (a tributary of the Sanggan River). The castle of Wujiakou was built in this valley.

The commercial market was built outside the city, on the west bank of the Qingshui River. To the north of the commercial market and Wujiakou City, there is the Wolf's Den Pass, guarding the main road of the Wolf's Den Ditch - this is a passage through the mountain valley, which is very dangerous.

And the dangerous pass of the wolf's den, of course, is more than one wolf's den. At the other end of this ravine, next to the grassland on the dam, is the famous Wild Fox Ridge!

On the Yehu Ridge, there is the newly built Swallow Pass of the Liao people (because there is a swallow city north of the Wild Fox Ridge), and thousands of Xi soldiers are stationed on the Swallow Pass, which chokes the south gate of the grassland on the dam.

However, the Liao warriors could temporarily block the Youzhou army from going north from Yehuling, but they couldn't stop their empress dowager from sending her to sleep with the Youzhou ruler......

Of course, Xiao Sese was embarrassed to publicly play the queen mother's signboard. Therefore, she disguised herself as a merchant woman, protected by the guards of her henchmen, and went south to the cross-country Fox Ridge and the wolf's nest ditch to enter Wujiakou City.

And Wu Haogu arrived at Wujiakou a day earlier than her, and he also made no noise, only brought two teams of fake knights, and arrived in the name of changing the guard.

The Wujiakou commercial market is also a private investment industry, but there is only one investor, and that is Wu Haogu himself. And the person who presided over this commercial market was Wu Chengjiu, a confidant of Wu Haogu.

With Wu Chengjiu's qualifications, it is useless to be the manager of this small commercial market.

However, considering the special mission of Wujiakou Commercial Market, it is appropriate for Wu Cheng to manage it for a long time.

After Wuhaogu occupied the land of Yan, this commercial market was the place where Yanliao interacted with each other, and the business was very large, and the income was also quite good. Of course, with money, you can build a lot of buildings, so Wu Chengjiu built many houses and courtyards in the commercial market, including Wu Haogu and Xiao Sese's tryst.

The Selu is not too big, but it is a courtyard with three entrances and four combinations. But inside and out, there is a rare delicacy. It was also built in a quiet place in the middle of the noise. There is also a three-story pavilion that is very rare in the Wujiakou commercial market.

The next day, that is, yesterday afternoon, not long after giving birth, Xiao Sese, who had recovered quite well, arrived with Yeluyi in his arms.

Yeluyi was very delicate, not at all like the species on the grassland. White and tender, the little face is flushed, and it is very cute.

And Xiao Sise, although the waist and hips are still a little out of shape, but the chest has its own size! And she also breastfeeds her baby herself...... It's like an ordinary mother.

When Wu Haogu woke up, Xiao Sese was breastfeeding the child. Hearing Wu Haogu call her, she walked in with the doll that was really nursing, and the placket on her body was still open, revealing most of her snow-white breasts.

"Official," said Xiao Sese, softly, "you are up?" The slave family waited for the officials to wash up, and breakfast had already been prepared. ”

Wu Haogu smiled while dressing, "Don't work for the lady, you can wash yourself for the husband." ”

Of course, he and Xiao Siser will not be left unserved, but it is fun to pretend to be a little couple at home.

Therefore, the people who served did not go up to the third floor, they all waited below, and Wu Haogu enjoyed the clumsy service of the Empress Dowager Xiao on the third floor...... The service is not good, but the grade is high! The Queen Mother!

Wu Haogu went downstairs, washed up, and sat down for breakfast, Xiao Se Se had finished breastfeeding the child, handed over the child to the nurse, and went downstairs to eat with Wu Haogu.

It's breakfast, but it's already noon, and it's already lunchtime.

Wu Haogu, who had long been so hungry that his chest was close to his back, ate a few small steamed buns with crab roe and pork filling, and drank a bowl of chicken soup, feeling a little full, so he stopped eating and talked with Empress Dowager Xiao.

"Was the battle of Linhuang Mansion miserable? Do you know how powerful the Jurchens are? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled miserably: "The slave family has long heard from the officials, but it is the capital!" Can you give up and give up? ”

"How many people have been lost?"

"More than 30,000...... They are all the soldiers and horses of the imperial uncle. ”

The imperial uncle is Yelu Chun, after Yelu Ao Luwei ascended the throne, he was crowned the king of Qin and Jin, the imperial uncle. And at the suggestion of the Khitan nobles and high-ranking officials who gathered in Xijing, he appointed Yeluchun as the marshal of the capital, stayed in Beijing, and allowed him to recruit refugees from Tokyo Province (mainly the escaped Bohai right surname) as an army in Linhuang Mansion, called "Resentful Army".

The resentment army has six battalions and more than 20,000 people. In addition, Yeluchun also brought 7,000 elites from Xijing Road, and there were more than 20,000 Khitan soldiers and horses left behind in Linhuang Mansion. With a total of nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, it looks quite powerful.

As a result, Yeluchun swelled and felt that he could wrestle with Wanyan Agu in the field. As a result, as soon as the war began, the resentful army could not bear it, and the first one collapsed, and ran away, and the Khitan soldiers and horses collapsed together.

More than 30,000 people were lost in a battle, and they didn't even dare to defend the city of Linhuangfu (the city of Linhuangfu was too big for less than 20,000 people to defend at all), and retreated to Raozhou on the bank of the Huanghe River to stabilize the position.

However, for Empress Dowager Xiao, this defeat also has a benefit, that is, it has defeated Ye Luchun's prestige.

This imperial uncle is nothing more than that...... Therefore, the call for Uncle Huang to replace Empress Dowager Xiao to lead the people of Daliao has decreased a lot at once.

But if Empress Dowager Xiao really wants to establish her prestige, it is not possible to rely on it. You have to show the record!

Of course, the record between her and Wu Haogu can't be taken out...... Moreover, Zhou Guo (not officially listed) is so powerful, and there is a unique truth, how can Liao State fight?

So what Empress Dowager Xiao can fight is the Jurchens.

"After fighting Linhuang Mansion, it's time for Ah Guda to go south to Zhongjing Road, right?" Wu Haogu asked thoughtfully.

"Not necessarily!" Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head and frowned, "The slave family has received news that Hebul will arrive in Linhuang Mansion this winter and next spring to meet with Aguta. ”

There is another cute ancient...... Wu Haogu looked at Empress Dowager Xiao sympathetically, and thought: That's the hell difficulty!

One bone fight is murderous enough, and now there is a Hebul ...... This doesn't want Xiao Sise's life?

"Official," Xiao Sechu looked at Wu Haogu pitifully, "You must save the slaves......"

Save, it must be saved!

If you don't save the Empress Dowager Xiao, then the Meng ancients and the Jurchens will join forces to start a war with the republic.

It's not that it can't be beaten, but it's hard to entangle. The Meng ancients and the Jurchens were both robbers, and they knew that the republican army would not fight hard, but would use the tactics of grabbing and running to fight a bad battle.

It is impossible for the Republican Army's 200,000 field troops to assemble and stand by all the time to prepare to guard against thieves! They are half-peasants and half-soldiers, and they still have a grange to take care of at home.

"Cersei, how do you want to fight?" Wu Haogu asked.

"What else?" Xiao Se sighed, "Field warfare is definitely not good, so I have to defend the city." The slave wanted to build a castle on the Nakyodo Road and make it impregnable. I think I can resist the birth of a girl and a real one. ”

The territory of Nakyo-do is mainly mountainous and backed by the western Liaoning region of the Zhou Kingdom (Liaoxi originally belongs to the Tokyo Province of the Liao Kingdom). If you can build a wide city and then respond with mobile troops, you can fight an inner defense.

It's just that with the current strength of the Khitans, can they still stop the birth of Jurchen and Menggu from joining forces?

Wu Haogu nodded, "Cersei, I will definitely try to help you defend the Zhongjing Road." ”

He thought for a moment, "But after all, Zhou Guo only has a small population...... So we have to let Zhao Ji have some blood! ”

"How? Do you want the slave family to lead the troops to open the feudal mansion? A look of anticipation flashed in Xiao Sese's eyes.

"Not necessarily." Wu Haogu shook his head.

Now is not the time!

His soldiers were "landlords and rich peasant soldiers" who had to be sustained by farming. Now that the land has been allocated, they have to be allowed to plant for a few years - this is called recuperation.

"As you said last time, return the Taiyuan Mansion and the Pingding Army to the Song Dynasty in exchange for a marriage with the Song Dynasty Alliance." Wu Haogu said, "Zhou Guo also joined in. Engage in a Song, Zhou, and Liao Triple Alliance!

In this way, I can let the Song Kingdom contribute money, and I, the Zhou Kingdom, will contribute things to help you repair the city of Zhongjing Road. In addition, the weapons to defend the city, the weapons workshop in Tianjin can also help to build! ”

"Good! It's all up to the officials! Xiao Se paused, his brows furrowed again, "But the three alliances can't be promoted overnight, and the Jurchens are afraid that they will attack Zhongjing Dao next summer." ”

"It's okay," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "There are many banks in Tianjin that can lend money to Da Liao." Wait until you get Zhao Ji's New Year's coin, and then pay it back. ”

"Borrow?" Xiao Sisse thought about it, if he can't pay it back, he shouldn't be arrested by Wu Haogu to pay off the debt, right?

"Okay!"

Seeing that Xiao Sese was well-behaved and obedient, Wu Haogu nodded with satisfaction, "There is still someone who can help you." ”

"Who?"

"Jelu Dashi!" Wu Hao Gudao, "He is my student and a rare hero, who has opened a foundation in Broken Leaves." There are 10,000 Han households and 30,000 Khitan accounts under his command, if you can believe him, you will make him the envoy of the Northwest Road, and hand over the 20,000 accounts of the Zhenzhou Jian'an Army to him. There are 50,000 nomadic Khitans, and Meng Gu is definitely not a cause for concern. What we need to deal with is only one Jurchen. ”

Xiao Se Se nodded: "Okay!" Slave to Him! Give him all the Mobei grasslands! ”
