Liu Fa is really dead, dying on this battlefield, probably with peace of mind in his heart, and he doesn't have much to worry about. Laughing Jiuquan probably means this kind of death, the only regret is probably that he didn't explain to his son before he died.

A raging fire broke out in the party camp in the north, 100,000 troops came, and more than 40,000 returned, but after all, the fortified city was not broken.

Wei Mingrenming's heart is like ashes, but he is anxious like fire. Guazhou, which is more than 2,000 miles away, still doesn't know what the situation is, but I hope God willing, everything in Guazhou is as it was before.

As long as there is no problem in Guazhou, even if Lingzhou City can't hold it, Wei Ming Renming will take tens of thousands of soldiers to enter the desert again and return to Guazhou, at least this Great Xia can survive for a while, and then ask the Liao State to mediate from it, if you are lucky, the Great Song Dynasty will not send troops to the expedition, and the country of Great Xia will be protected, and it will never come to the east of the desert again in a hundred years.

All wishes are good, but there is always a law in the world, the more worried things are, the more often they will happen.

In the city of Guazhou, crying all night is the third watch of the month, and there is still a sound of sorrow everywhere.

On both sides of the street, in the corners of the courtyard, there were all party men who had died tragically, mostly old people, children, and occasionally a few women.

There are more living natures, but they are all tightly bound.

This small city has been turned upside down. Gold, silver, copper, iron, and jade were all loaded into the carriages of the city, and the horses continued to enter the city, and were mounted on the carriages one by one. There were many horses in the carriage, and some precious silk was loaded on the horses.

The four gates of Guazhou are closed, and there is only sadness in this city.

In the main hall, Zheng Zhi and all the generals did not sleep, and there was still some wine in the hall.

Wine is rare in the Central Plains, even Zhao Ji can't drink it and rarely taste it once. The pale yellow and transparent wine is not the same as the red wine in Zheng Zhi's impression. Zheng Zhi is also the first time to see a wine of this color. In fact, the difference in color of grape winemaking is related to the skin of the grape and the grape seeds, that is, it is related to the grape variety. Yellow wines naturally derive their color from yellow grapes.

The glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine is "Liangzhou Ci", and this poem is very appropriate tonight. Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately urge. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times.

The wine in your hands, the location, the things you do. It seems to be all in this poem.

Further west, thousands of miles to the Western Regions, this is the starting point.

Zheng Zhi didn't drink much, and the wine was slightly sour and sweet in the mouth. People in the world say that wine is high, but Zheng Zhi can't drink it. The dominant position of all cultures is the influence of strength. No matter what people say about the health benefits of wine, the so-called supremacy of wine is essentially the influence of Western power.

Moutai's status has been getting higher and higher recently, which is not the result of the Chinese people touting it everywhere, but a natural change as its strength increases. The competitiveness of culture is, in the final analysis, the competitiveness of the strength behind the culture.

Just like in the Han and Tang dynasties, it was thousands of miles west, and as long as it was something of the Han people, it was sought after. Zheng Zhi understood these truths, and his heart also throbbed, and he went thousands of miles to reproduce the might of the Han people.

Zheng Zhi put down the wine glass and said, "Go and bring Li Qianshun over." ”

Niu Da was beside him, and most of the big and small things that Zheng Zhi ordered were arranged by Niu Da.

Not long after, Li Qianshun was mentioned in the main hall. At this time, Li Qianshun was obviously not as majestic as when he first saw him, he had been tied up for a long time, and his whole body was numb, and he only felt that there was no comfortable place on his body, so he naturally looked pained. This pain is probably something that His Majesty the Emperor has never felt.

Zheng Zhi waved his hand, and the left and right soldiers stepped forward to loosen their ties.

Li Qianshun didn't say a word, barely propping up his body and sitting on the ground. The eyes are mostly tired, and there is a slight hatred and anger in the exhaustion.

"Li Qianshun, tomorrow I will take you back to Bianjing to see the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, if you cooperate, this road can be a little more comfortable, you don't need to be so bound, and you can also have a carriage to serve. What do you think? Zheng Zhi didn't think much about it, such a party item Western Xia Emperor, when he arrived in Tokyo, it was a world-class meritorious achievement. If this emperor cooperates on the road, there will really be a lot less trouble, and even if he encounters a large number of party members, he can easily deal with it.

When Li Qianshun heard this, he looked up at Zheng Zhi and said: "Go to Bianjing to see my brother, naturally there is nothing to do, Song Xia is a country of brothers, knowing etiquette and righteousness, and I won't be embarrassed if I think about it." The land, horses and sheep can all be ceded, as long as I return to Daxia, the benefits of Zheng Xianggong are also indispensable, and I will inevitably use the strength of the country to repay Zheng Xianggong's great kindness. ”

In Li Qianshun's subconscious, he did not have the idea of being a prisoner, and in his heart he still regarded himself as the master of a country, sitting on the party for thousands of miles. In the words, Zheng Zhi is also bribed, the emperor's means, habitually luring people with benefits.

When he heard Zheng Zhi's words, he had another question. As soon as this question came to Zheng Zhi's mind, Zheng Zhi's eyes were fierce.

Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in Tokyo, seems to really can't be often theorized. It was Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of Liao, when he was chased into the grassland desert and fled in all directions, this Zhao Ji was able to send a messenger to invite Yelu Yanxi to bring people into the Great Song Dynasty, and treated him as a prince, and his status was only under Zhao Ji alone. Although Yelu Yanxi was intercepted by the Jurchens when he went south, he did not make the trip.

But this matter has already shown Zhao Ji's thinking logic clearly. Zheng Zhi couldn't help but think more, if this Li Qianshun went to Tokyo, would it be this treatment?

If Zhao Ji is happy for a while, he will put this Yelu Yanxi back, cede some land, and collect some horses and sheep. Zheng Zhi's trip was useless.

Zheng Zhi thought of this, his eyes were very sharp, and he looked at Li Qianshun for a long time. I could see that Li Qianshun's hairs stood up.

"Haha... This matter is easy to say, so please go and rest first. Zheng Zhi suddenly closed his eyes and said with a smile. Then he turned his head and instructed Niu Dadao: "Invite the Emperor of Western Xia to rest in the back, and send more people to protect him, and there will be no loss." ”

Niu Nature stepped forward again and escorted Li Qianshun to the back. This emperor really can't be locked up with those ministers, and he can guard against many things separately.

As soon as Li Qianshun left, Zheng Zhi's face immediately became serious, and he said: "Xiao Yi, quickly go and find out all the men in the party and the royal family, and lock them up." ”

Zheng Zhi seems to have murderous intent, but everything has to be returned to the Great Song Dynasty. To kill or not to kill, when to kill, these questions can only be decided when they return to Qin Feng, under the command of Wei Ming Renming, there are countless party soldiers, and this emperor naturally has to make good use of it.

Early in the morning, the team outside Guazhou stretched for two or three miles. There were ironclad knights in front and behind, and thousands of people were tied in the middle. In the front queue, the party and the royal family all followed behind Zheng Zhi.

Looking at Guazhou City again, it is already empty, a city with a population of tens of thousands, suddenly there is no one populated, and it seems a little terrifying.

The road back to the east is no longer as hurried as before. These gangs of dignitaries and nobles tied together can't walk fast.

This return trip, at this rate, will not last for more than a month.

Re-entering the Yumen Pass, Zheng Zhicai had the heart to take a good look at this place, the pass had become a mound, and the veins of the city wall that stretched to the end of the sky were still clearly visible, but the city wall had also become a scumber.

From the ridge, it is not effortless, and it is easy. This place used to be the dividing line of Huayi, but now it no longer serves its original purpose.

Yan Qing read a lot of poems and books, and at this time, she opened her mouth and laughed: "Xianggong, I heard that this Yumen Pass was originally called Xiaofangpan City, and there was a businessman who thanked the wild geese for guiding the way, so he put the gem on the head of the city, so it was called Yumen Pass, and I don't know if there is such a thing." ”

The origin of the legendary Yumen Pass, that is, a small legend here, a merchant got lost, got the guidance of the wild goose, and the wild goose told him to put the gem in his hand on the head of the Yumen Pass, so it was named.

"It's just folklore, and believe it or not, the name of Yumen, Xu is the beautiful jade produced under the Kunlun Mountain outside the Guan, and this place enters the Central Plains, so it is named Yumen." Zheng Zhi replied that Xinjiang jade is the best jade, and most of them enter the customs from here.

"Xianggong, this place is good, the desert lonely smoke is always in the poems, I see it today, and the name is well deserved." Yan Qing is a literary and artistic youth, so she naturally has more thoughts and sensibilities.

Zheng Zhi smiled when he heard this: "Since you like this place, I will send you here to build a city in the future." ”

"Okay, a word is a certainty, if there is this day, Xianggong must send more soldiers and horses, and let me go west to take a look, I heard that there are countless countries in the Western Regions, and when the time comes, dozens or hundreds of emperors will be arrested." Yan Qing believed Zheng Zhi's words, and probably had a longing in her heart.

Zheng Zhi smiled but didn't answer, feeling that the back of the hand holding the reins suddenly became cold, and looked up and said, "It's finally snowing, I don't know if it's also snowing in Lingzhou." ”

Winter is finally here, and the snow will fill the entire land, and Hitoaki Akira will be in a desperate situation.

Yang Keshi stepped forward and said: "Xianggong, it's snowing here, and it will inevitably snow east of the desert, and the good days of the party people are over." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded, looked back at the ruins of the Hantang Great Wall that stretched for countless miles, and walked forward.

The scouts in front of them rode towards each other.

"Report ... The front found the party cavalry, about five thousand. ”

Zheng Zhi didn't panic when he heard this, and looked back at a carriage not far away, which was Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun listened to the words and poked his head out.

Zheng Zhi turned his head and said lightly: "Wei Ming Renming is hard-hearted, Guazhou is in an emergency, and only sent 5,000 people to save him, His Majesty the Emperor of Western Xia is so worthless in Wei Ming Renming's heart." I forgot that this name Renming is also surnamed Li. ”

This sentence was naturally said to Li Qianshun later. The name is Li, and Li is the royal family. Lee will be able to be emperor. This is the words of the heart, trapping the name and benevolence in the midst of injustice.

When Li Qianshun heard this, he put his head back again.

Zheng Zhi no longer looked back at Li Qianshun's reaction, and only said: "Go ahead, and see who is so loyal, and come back to King Qin two thousand miles away." ”
