Chapter 317: Northland Movement
But at this time, the Western Army, the only decisive force of the Song Dynasty, had run out of oil and lost its glory.
From the beginning of the accession of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong to the throne, the Western Army first recovered Hehuang, and then started a war with Western Xia, and fought continuously for eight years, during which the main force was also dispatched to the south twice, once to sweep away the Bu Leak, once to pacify Fangla, and then marched into Yanyun non-stop, and finally squeezed out the Western Army, and the evil consequences were from top to bottom, no one can be an exception, they have to swallow.
Western Xia took advantage of the Jin army's large-scale invasion of the south and occupied Hehuang again.
Although Sun Hui later broke the Jin army and enabled the Song Dynasty to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, the greatly frightened Tangut people withdrew from part of the occupied Song Dynasty land, but did not give up Hehuang.
The Tangut people also understood the importance of the land of the river to them.
Sun Hui knew that although he had reversed the order of the revival of the Song Dynasty - now it was equivalent to restoring Yanyun first and then collecting Hehuang, but he had to do this, otherwise the Song Dynasty would not be truly safe.
After the destruction of the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty could concentrate on the north, using the sixteen states of Yanyun as a base to advance northward, slowly encroaching on and digesting the land of the former Liao State, and restoring the territory of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
In this way, a completely different Great Song Empire would emerge.
History has been pulled to such a point by him, a wrenchman, that the Time and Space Paradise Company may really have no way to deal with him.
Although it is impossible to return to the original time and space, it seems that it is a good choice to live like this with Ye Chuchu in the prosperous Song Dynasty......
And what he is most worried about now is the whereabouts of the other three girls.
Sun Hui always had a hunch that the three of them, like Ye Chuchu, were teleported to this era by the Time and Space Paradise Company.
He pondered the psychology of those perverted people in the company more than once: since those people teleported Ye Chuchu here to become Emperor Roufu, in order to let themselves witness their lover tormenting and destroying Jinren, would they also "deal with" the three of them out of the same psychology?
It's just that the people in the company wouldn't have thought that they gave Ye Chuchu a powerful "mimicry" ability, so that not only did she not suffer in the slightest, but became her own help.
In the Battle of Taiyuan, without the help of Ye Chuchu and Hu Liying, it would have been impossible for the Song army to achieve such an unprecedented and brilliant victory.
It's just that the transmission method of "passing on women but not men" of this ability is a bit of a fly in the ointment......
Sun Hui was thinking nonsense there, but he heard a gust of wind outside the window, and then a pretty figure flew into the house.
"I'm back, Brother Sun." Hu Liying came to Sun Hui's face, instantly retracted her wings, but still let the beautiful bird feathers cover her whole body, although she and he have been married, but in front of him, she still retains the shyness and reserve unique to girls in this era.
"Good work." Sun Hui took the teacup and poured her a bowl of fragrant tea, "Is there anything unusual on the Jinren's side?" ”
In order to monitor the movements of the Jin country, and make the Jin people dare not prevent the captive Han people from returning to the south, Sun Hui and Ye Chuchu Hu Liying flew to the north more than once in the image of "feather people" to investigate the situation, and publicly said to the Jin people that their "disaster disaster" words are not empty words, the Jin people are extremely afraid of this, dare not have the slightest change, after a long time, Sun Hui sometimes lazy, no longer go to the north to inspect, and Hu Liying lived in the Liao country when she was young, and she is very nostalgic for the northern grasslands, plus she likes to travel and go out, So the task of inspecting the north and protecting the return of the Han people to the south was undertaken by her.
"Nothing has changed." Hu Liying took a sip of the teacup and replied, "Many Han people have returned to the south, including the slaves of the rich Jin people, and the Jin people dare not prohibit it. ”
"That's not bad." Sun Hui smiled and nodded, it seems that his "divine might" is still very useful.
"However, the Jin people now seem to want to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty and make a formal peace treaty, and they are preparing tribute at this time." Hu Liying glanced at Sun Hui meaningfully, "Some tributes may be prepared for you, Brother Sun." ”
"Oh? A tribute for me? Sun Hui made her stunned, "What is it?" Did you see that? ”
"I see, but ......," she smiled slightly, "I can't tell you just yet, but you'll find out anyway." ”
Sun Hui was about to ask, but heard Hu Liying say: "This time, I found out the whereabouts of those wolf-headed soldiers last time." ”
Hearing her words, Sun Hui remembered the Jin Army werewolf warriors who almost killed Yue Fei last time, and his expression immediately became solemn.
Yue Fei's younger brother Yue Fu died at their hands.
"Does it have anything to do with the wolf demon we killed last time?" Sun Hui asked.
"It should be related." Hu Liying said, "These people are all white-skinned people, from the extreme west, originally served the Liao people, after the fall of the Liao State, turned to the Jin people, these people all believe in Jingjiao, claiming to come to the East to find the relics of the ancestors, which has a great impact on the Liao noble family, I heard that there was a Liao princess who believed in Jingjiao." However, when they serve the Jinren, they do not transform into wolf-headed soldiers. ”
After listening to Hu Liying's account, Sun Hui understood that these people might be Nestorian Christians from the West.
The Christian Nestorian sect is known as "Nestorianism" in China. The exact time when this sect was introduced to China is difficult to verify, but the earliest record of it is the Great Qin Jingjiao Popular Chinese Tablet. Due to the Tang Dynasty's openness to foreign religions, Nestorianism has been supported by many emperors of the Tang Dynasty since its introduction to China. After 845 AD, Nestorian Christianity also suffered a blow in the "Huichang Law Disaster" and gradually declined. The "Huangchao Rebellion" in the late Tang Dynasty caused the population of Nestorian Christians to drop sharply. After the demise of Nestorianism in the Central Plains, it spread and developed among many nomadic tribes in the northern steppe areas. The Liao state established by the Khitans made several westward journeys during the reign of Taizu Yelu Abaoji, and most of the northern steppes were under its control for a long time. During this period, the grassland Silk Road was unimpeded, and many merchants from the Western Regions came to Liao to do business. Because Nestorian Christianity was prevalent in the Western Regions at that time, and there were a large number of merchants living in the Western Regions in the Liao Kingdom, including the Liao Shangjing area, it was normal for there to be Nestorian Christians among the Liao people.
But unlike ordinary Nestorian warriors, these Nestorian warriors, who first joined the Liao army and then served the Jin army, seemed to have a special purpose in their activities in the East.
"I heard that there are vampire wolf demons in the far west, and these people have also told stories about people turning into wolves on the night of the full moon, and they were able to turn into wolf head soldiers before the Taiyuan War, and it is likely that they were affected by the fleeing wolf demon." Hu Liying continued.
