() .. om "Oh? What kind of favor did Xu Guanren give you? Duan Zhixian asked again. Since Xu Wei's family came to shèhong, they can be regarded as benevolent, especially his wife, it is best to help the poor. Therefore, the people in this neighborhood are respectful.

Unexpectedly, the fisherman shook his head: "Mrs. Xu is like a bodhisattva, and there are many people in this township and city who have received her favor. However, the villain can only talk to Xu Guanren, a friend, why does it matter if he sends him two fish? ”

Duan Zhixian was speechless for a while, and then waved his hand and said, "Stay the fish, I'll let someone bring it to you." ”

The fisherman didn't reply, Hua Zhizhou already said: "Since you are a friend of Xu Guanren, why don't you let people meet?" There is no such reason. ”

When Duan Zhixian heard this, he asked the fisherman to go first. The latter probably understood the situation and trotted towards Xu Wei's villa. When they arrived, the fisherman was hurrying back, and Xu Wei's son Xu Hu was chasing after him, thanking him.

Huazhizhou and Duanzhi County are both frequent visitors, where does Xu Hu not recognize it? When he came forward to see the salute, he invited the two officials to sit down in the hall, and sent tea to him, and he himself went to invite his father.

As soon as Duan Zhixian sat down, he listened to Hua Zhizhou: "If Zhixian is busy with official business, there is no need to accompany him." ”

This makes people depressed, I can't even catch a meal when I run with you? He also said to eat those two fresh fish. Ke Zhizhou spoke, obviously not wanting him to be there, so he had no choice but to leave.

But after thinking about it, he said: "Since the lower official is here, I have to say hello to Xu Jieenvoy before leaving, otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss of courtesy?" ”

As he was talking, Xu Wei came out of it, still dressed like that, if he didn't look at his face, he would just think he was a countryman. Zhizhou Zhixian hurriedly got up and saluted, although the tiger fell in Pingyang, the dragon swam in shallow water, but people are still modest.

"Okay, they're not outsiders. Have a seat. Xu Wei said with a smile.

Duan Zhixian didn't sit down, and said: "There is still official business in Xiaguan County, so I won't accompany the two chiefs and take my leave." ”

"Huh? That's what I said, when you Duan Zhixian came to me, I wouldn't even let you eat a meal? ”

"Xie Jie makes the United States, and the lower officials are really on official business, I don't know if the state minister is coming. They should have come along. ”

Seeing that he repeatedly refused, Xu Wei was not reluctant. After letting his son send him away, he was about to ask for tea, but Hua Zhizhou didn't have the heart to drink tea, and said hurriedly: "Enxiang, something happened on the front line!" ”

"Hmm." Xu Wei swayed the end of the tea, not surprised at all.

Hua Zhizhou naturally knows that if anything happens in Shaanxi, Enxiang must know before himself. But he was still in a hurry: "Zhang Jingluo led the Qin Feng army north to reinforce and fought with the Khitans in Tiandu Mountain. I was forced to retreat hundreds of miles. ”

"You don't have to pick up the nice ones, defeat is defeat. What is forced? Xiao Duolu: No, this really hates and poisons us, and he has taken out all his housekeeping skills. Xu Wei said calmly.

You must know that Qin Fengjun is a serious Hu'er Army, his descendant. Since the Daimyo's army was raised, it has rarely been defeated.

"What's even worse is that the Jurchens have been delaying in sending troops, if the Khitans understand it then. Mobilize heavy troops to suppress the realm, this disaster will be a big disaster! ”

"It's inevitable."

"What do you mean?"

"The paper can't contain the fire, and Xiao Duolu won't soon understand the Jurchens' intentions. I guess. Within a month, he would move the forces of the Eastern Front to the south, and by then, hundreds of thousands of troops would be overwhelming, and the scale was unprecedented. ”

Seeing his casual appearance, Hua Zhizhou was a little puzzled. Although Eun Xiang has now resigned and lost his military power, he has always cared about the current situation, and he should not be so indifferent.

Probably knowing the thoughts of this old subordinate, Xu Wei sighed: "I tried my best to promote the alliance between Song and Liao, and now that I have come to this step, what else can I say?" But you don't have to worry too much, even if Xiao Duolu doesn't defeat Shaanxi, what's the use? ”

Hua Zhizhou thought about it for a while and understood.

It is this reason that now the Song, Jin, and Liao coexist. If the Khitans defeat Shaanxi, then the Great Song Dynasty will definitely fight back with all their might. At this time, if the Jurchens insert another lever from it, whether it is Song or Liao, I am afraid they will not be able to bear it.

In other words, it is impossible for the Khitans to really attack in an all-out way and completely tear their faces, so they must leave room to wait for the times to change.

As for what this time change is, he knows it.

"Recently, the lower official received news that there was a voice in the court and wanted to invite the minister to come out of the mountain."

This Xu Wei didn't know, so he asked, "Oh, the specific situation?" ”

"There is no news of the envoy sent by the imperial court to the north, and it is expected that he has been detained. Chaozhong has already exploded, and the spearhead is directed at Qin Hui! Even King Lin publicly criticized him for misleading the country! ”

Xu Wei frowned: "It won't be that Zhe Zhonggu wants me to go out of the mountain, right?" ”

"That's not it, it's Hu Quan."

"Oh, it turned out to be a nonsense." Xu Wei smiled knowingly. This man's name, he had heard it a long time ago.

Hu Quan said that Enxiang had been in Sichuan and Shaanxi for many years and had wide prestige in the Western Army. And the gentleman is decent, loyal to the country, and now the matter is coming, when will you wait if you don't ask for grace to go out of the mountain? Qin Hui and others strongly objected, but King Lin did not make a clear statement. ”

Xu Wei chuckled: "King Lin now has a big family, but he is tied up, and he is not as free and easy as before." ”

"The official family is very cautious about this discussion and is noncommittal."

When Xu Wei heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart, he naturally had to be cautious. Now that Shaanxi has military power, it is his wife's maiden family who holds the military power, does he dare to be cautious? But soon, events will force him to make a choice. It's not that I'm conceited, no one can do this thing, and no one can clean up this mess.

As expected, by the end of October, the Great Song Emperor couldn't sit still. The envoy sent to the Jin Kingdom has no news, and there is no doubt that he will be detained, and the Jurchens are tantamount to openly breaking the contract and defeating the alliance!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Jin was panicked. He knew that this time the matter was messed up, the Jurchens turned their faces ruthlessly, and offended the Khitans a lot, this is to make two enemies.

Where did it originate? In the final analysis, isn't it that after Liu Guangshi took office, he closed the mutual establishment on the border, provoked some disputes, and finally developed to this point? How does this end now?

Qin Hui was also dumbfounded, he urged Lianjin to attack Liao, and his mind was just like that of Emperor Daojun back then. I hope to make some achievements, but how do I know that the Jurchens of the dog don't eat the fat meat in their mouths!

He is the one who is responsible for this matter, and he cannot escape the involvement in any way. In a hurry, I can't take care of a lot and put forward a suggestion, a suggestion that there is no need to fight. That is to negotiate with the Khitans, aren't you just for the border market? I'll reopen it!

Zhao Jin also regretted that he had done too much at this time. immediately approved, and sent Qin Hui's henchmen as envoys to Shaanxi to negotiate with the Khitans.

But just a few days after the envoy left, something happened again.

In the palace, Xu Jieyu was teasing the little princess left by Concubine Zhu. The little girl is beautiful, she has completely inherited her mother's advantages, and a pair of big flickering eyes never leave her face, and she has long regarded her as a mother. Whenever Xu Jieyu teased her. The little princess always smiled crookedly.

Zhao Guanjia watched from the side, and even Rì finally had a smile on his face shrouded in sorrow. Reach out and say, "Give me a hug." ”

Xu Jieyu handed the little princess to him, and the Great Song Tianzi hugged it tightly, and her movements were a little stiff. But in the end, it was connected by blood, and the little princess looked at him and didn't cry or make trouble.

"You see she's very well raised." Zhao Jindao.

"Sister Zhu is entrusted on her deathbed, and the concubine dares not to be unsatisfied? It's just that in the end, it's not as good as my mother. Xu Jieyu sighed.

Zhao Jin heard this, but he didn't answer the question, and only cared about teasing his daughter. Xu Jieyu caught a glimpse of Shen Ze coming in with a flickering expression. went to her and saluted her, and said to the emperor: "Official." Shaanxi, urgent. ”

At this time, Xu Jieyu noticed that he was holding a playbook in his hand.

"What?" As soon as Zhao Jin heard this, his movements stopped.

Shen Xue didn't answer, Xu Xiuniang understood, and reached out to take the little princess, but Zhao Guanjia didn't let go. urged: "You say! ”

Shen Xue said: "Qin Feng's army was defeated and retreated, and lost the land of Xi'an and Huaide!" At present, the Khitans have already marched to Zhenrong. Ambition in Weizhou! ”

Weizhou, then it will go straight to Guanzhong!

This is not a small surprise! Isn't the Western Army a strong force in the Northwest, and the Great Song Dynasty is sharp? And he is the best at attacking and defending, how can he let the Khitans win two cities in a row?

As soon as he thought of this, he quickly asked, "What did Liu Guangshi say in the notebook?" ”

"Taiwei Liu said that Qin Fengjun did not try his best to ......"

"Don't do your best?" Zhao Jin was furious for a while. But he suddenly thought that the military report from Shaanxi some rìzi some time ago said that Qin Fengshuai and Zhang Xian took the initiative to ask Ying to go north to resist, how could he not do his best? "What does he want to do next?"

"Taiwei Liu plans to personally lead the right deputy army of Shenwu to the north and start a decisive battle with the enemy in Zhenrong. And has quickly dispatched Xihe Yao Dashuai to help. Shen Ze replied.

Zhao Jin listened and was silent. After rejecting Shen Xue, he returned the princess to Xu Xiuniang and didn't speak for a long time.

Xu Jieyu was silent, and after a long time, she heard the official say: "Xiuniang, I can't say it, I'm going to invite your uncle out of the mountain." ”

Unexpectedly, when Xu Xiuniang heard this, not only was she half happy, but said: "The concubine has the favor of the official family, and she is a noble, so she has nothing else to ask for." Today, I only seek one thing from the official family. ”

"Huh? Just say what! ”

Xu Xiuniang handed the princess into the hands of Gong E, and wanted to kneel with a big belly, but Zhao Jin hurriedly supported her: "What are you doing!" ”

Seeing that you are about to give birth, you kneel, what if something happens to your knees?

"Uncle Xu Wei has been fighting for the country for half his life, and he can be called a hard worker. Because of this, my uncle was worried about the danger of fullness, so he asked himself to leave his post and lived in seclusion under Lin Quan, not asking about current affairs. ”

"The official family may not know that the grandmother of the concubine died tragically after giving birth to the ninth uncle. The ninth uncle was raised by the mother of the concubine, the so-called eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, in the eyes of the mother, the ninth uncle is both a brother and a son. Today, the concubine's mother is still sick, and she often misses her uncle. So, please don't bring up the matter of the mountain again. ”

Zhao Jin listened and was puzzled: "Why is this?" Since your mother attaches so much importance to your ninth uncle, then ......"

"Since ancient times, the merits of the high are doubtful, and the power is jealous. If the official family appoints Uncle Nine again, they are afraid of rumors. Moreover, the concubine's father often wrote to inquire about the situation of the ninth uncle, and his war wounds had not healed, and it was difficult for him to take on heavy responsibilities. ”

Zhao Jin listened, sighed, and didn't say anything more.

Why did Liu Guangshi report the truth this time? Just because the matter can't be hidden, what does it mean to lose the two armies of Xi'an and Huaide? It means that "Tiandu Mountain" is controlled by the Khitans. In the past, the Song and Xia competed, and the reason why the Western Xia dared to compete with the Great Song Dynasty was that its soldiers were strong and strong, and the second was the danger of Hengshan Tiandu Mountain.

It's good now, the Western Xia is already over, and the Tiandu Mountain has been taken away by the Khitans. If they are allowed to gain a foothold here, they can threaten the Jingyuan region at any time in the future.

And Jingyuan is an obstacle in Guanzhong!

Regardless of the faction, Asari felt the seriousness of the situation. The ministers couldn't help but ask, what is Liu Guangshi doing in Shaanxi? It caused public resentment to boil before, and all walks of life were uneasy, and now they have lost the battle again!

If you say that most of the generals of the Western Army are Xu Wei's old cronies and subordinates. If you don't listen to his command, Yang Feng yīn will go back. But this time, the battle plan was drawn up by him himself and approved by the officials. Didn't the Western Army do the same?

Hu Quan, who has always been known for his outspokenness and daring advice, played again and strongly demanded that Xu Wei be reinstated to preside over the Shaanxi military. Surprisingly, there are quite a few people in the DPRK and China who hold this opinion.

Zhao Jin also seemed to be moved, and asked Qin Hui's opinion, but the latter bluntly said no. Could it be that in this world, he Xu Wei alone will lead troops to fight? Without Xu Butcher, you have to eat hairy pigs?

I asked Orihiko again. The answer was, "Let's see."

What to see? Let's see if the peace talks can be negotiated, and if they can be negotiated, there will naturally be no need for Xu Wei to work hard.

But when talking about this kind of thing, there is a particular one, and only those who dare to fight can make peace. Therefore, Liu Guangshi personally raised 50,000 horses from the right deputy army of Shenwu to march north, and together with Qin Fengshuai and Zhang Xian's troops, the troops arrived at Zhenrong, intending to fight to the death with the Liao army.

Originally, this posture was quite high. As the highest governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, he was on the front line. Sitting in command can boost morale to some extent. But Liu Guangshi sent the troops, but he himself stayed in Weizhou City for remote control. And he left three thousand cavalry by his side.

The generals in front were very dissatisfied, since you said that you went north in person, why didn't you command in the army, and still leave so many cavalry? If the war doesn't go well, you will run away?

It can be angry. The battle still has to be fought.

The Song army was stationed in Kaiyuan Fort, and the Liao army was stationed in Sanchuan Village, and the two armies were only a few dozen miles apart. The Great War is on the verge of breaking out. The Liao army is determined to win this battle, because General Xiao has issued a strict order, as long as this battle is defeated, the Western Army will be passive, and the Great Song Dynasty will also be passive, and then the initiative will be in the hands of our Khitans, so what you want!

However, the two armies faced each other for less than three years, and the Liao army suddenly retreated, and retreated in the direction of Xi'anzhou. I didn't know what was going on, but after a look, I realized that it was the two Xu Marshal who led the army to come.

Liu Guangshi was overjoyed when he heard the news, the right deputy army of Shenwu, Qin Fengjun, Jingyuan army, and the jīng rui of the Yan Yan army were all here, adding up to more than 100,000 foot horses, why be afraid of the Liao people? Therefore, he quickly left Weizhou and went north to sit in the army.

Just as he was about to give the order to attack, an envoy from the imperial court arrived to negotiate peace.

Liu Guangshi thought about it again and again, things have come to such a situation, if I don't get back a city, how can the position of this Xuanfu envoy sit firmly? But he didn't dare to go against the will of the imperial court, so he could only force the commanders from all walks of life and not attack.

This time, it provoked Xu Cheng, the handsome Jingyuan. Under his feet is his territory, he is more anxious than anyone else, peace talks? What's there to talk about here? The Khitans are stepping on my ground, and I still make peace with him? So he strongly advocated attacking.

Yan Yanshuai, Xu Hong, Qin Fengshuai, and Zhang Xian also held this opinion. Now that we have gathered several ways, even if we want to talk, we have to drive the Khitans out of the country.

Liu Guangshi did not allow it, and strictly ordered all soldiers and horses not to act rashly, otherwise military law would be engaged!

This rì is freezing cold. Although Sichuan is located in the south, it is also difficult to endure winter. Xu Wei was extremely rare to accompany Zhang Jiujiu to Jinhua Mountain and Yujing to worship God.

From the mountain gate under the plaque of "accompanying the river guarantee" to climb the steps, I saw the ancient cypress towering to the sky next to the road, not afraid of the cold. There is a small hall on the mountainside, which is dedicated to a king spirit official. According to the shèhong people, Wang Lingguan was their native, so the good men and women believed in it and the incense was prosperous.

Zhang Jiujiu stepped forward and worshiped reverently, added sesame oil money, and continued to go up. Since it is a Taoist temple, it is naturally indispensable to the main god. The top of the hill is flat, the first thing you see is the Sanqing Palace, there is an iron flagpole on the square, there is a hole in the place where one person is more than a person, it is said that it is cast of silver, the locals like to touch it, and then wipe it on the eyelids, saying that it can be seen.

After that, there is the Jade Emperor Palace, and even the Guanyin Hall of Sending Sons, and then there is Chen Ziang's reading platform. Seriously, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are not separated.

Zhang Jiujiu worships when he sees God, Xu Wei doesn't want to kneel when he sees her, so he goes, and he pays tribute to the sages in the Chen Ziang reading platform.

The wall is engraved with 29 poems of Chen Ziang's feelings, Zhu Guang looked at it indiscriminately, and kept looking for the "ancients have not been seen before, and those who have not come have been seen after".

It's hard to find, and I'm savoring it. I can hear the noise under the mountain. He didn't take it seriously, he got out of the reading platform again, stood on the top of the Jinhua Mountain, and looked at the scenery of the Fujiang River.

When he was intoxicated, hurried footsteps sounded behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be his son Xu Hu who rushed in.

"Father! Huazhi Prefecture, Duan Zhi County, accompanied by the angel arrived! ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he turned his head back and asked casually, "What are you doing?" And you want to demote my officials? ”

Xu Hu's voice did not hide his excitement and joy at all: "The official family has lowered the Ming edict and wants to re-enable my father to preside over the Shaanxi military!" ”

"Oh."

Xu Hu saw that his father didn't say anything after "oh", and he was stunned for a while. Isn't that what my father was looking forward to?

"Is that father ......?"

"Let them wait, for your mother is still worshipping God."

"But ......"

"How did I teach you?"

Xu Hu didn't speak, paced behind his father, and looked at him for a while, but he couldn't see anything good. On a cold day, not only did there not see a fishing boat on the river, but there was not even a bird.

After all, he didn't have his father's determination, and he couldn't help but say: "Hua Zhizhou told his son that the official family reappointed his father as the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu, restored the prince of Wuwei County, and once again granted the right to act arbitrarily and cheaply. All Sichuan and Shaanxi, regardless of martial arts, listen to moderation sanctions! ”

"As expected, don't be so breathless."

"However, my father said that it is both a bad thing and a good thing for the Khitan people to break their faces with the Great Song Dynasty. With such a fuss, this northwest will no longer be able to do without his father! If the son is reactivated today, will the father ......" At this point, seeing that his father turned his face to stare at him, Zhu Hu closed his mouth.

But wait, wait, wait, my mother hasn't come back yet. He couldn't stand still, so he turned to look for it. suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, my son forgot to say that the sixth sister gave birth to a prince last month." ”

Xu Wei, who had always been calm, suddenly turned his head and said loudly: "What did you say!" ”

Xu Hu was shocked: "The sixth sister of the fourth uncle's family is Xu Jieyu, who gave birth to a prince. ”

When Xu Wei heard this, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face! Steady! It's stable! Immediately without further delay, he lifted his robe and strode down the mountain!
