Smoke rises along the Jianghuai line

The desert steppe is busy with nation-building

Wu Xi agreed to negotiate, but the location could be chosen by me. What else can you say after slapping your face, you will be determined. The main representatives of the Jin side participating in the negotiations were six military and political officials, including Wanyan Slap and Wanyan Qijin, as well as Zhao Yanxiong, the leader of the Tubo Mubo tribe who returned to the Jin State. Due to Wu Xi's poor health, the Song side sent Wang Dazong to control the Xingzhou capital and Yang Zhongyuan to govern the Xihe Prefecture as the plenipotentiary representative.

The location was chosen in a market town in Xihezhou, which is adjacent to Qinzhou.

Wan Yan first said: As long as the Song soldiers withdraw and promise not to invade in the future, Jin will no longer care about this military provocation.

Wang Dazong said: This Qinzhou originally belonged to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was forcibly occupied by your Jin people.

The two sides faced each other, each did not give in to each other, several generals talked and talked, the fire came up, the language became more and more vulgar, and the negotiations finally broke down.

Wan Yan took the other six representatives and dozens of personal soldiers and got on his horse and returned.

After walking for about ten miles, I suddenly found that there were Song soldiers on the east and west sides, holding knives and guns to rush towards them.

Let's do it slowly, we were invited by Wu Dashuai to negotiate.

The leader of the Song army shouted: We didn't receive orders from Wu Dashuai, you are clearly here to rob. With a wave of the sword, brothers, kill me!

After a period of tearing and killing, only Wanyan Qijin broke through and fled, and the rest became ghosts under the knife. Wu Xi asked his generals to take advantage of the victory to pursue, march into Qinzhou, capture Dongkegu, and at the same time send troops to attack Lanjialing, a distant town.

After receiving Wu Xi's good news, Han Yanxuan was overjoyed. This Wu Heizi is really good. With just a thousand people, the Shaanxi Jin General will be panicked, and over time, maybe he can even smash the Yellow Dragon.

Anyway, they are afraid of war, but in fact, the Jin people are not so terrible. King Pingzhang, do it, the miracle of the world is just around the corner. Su Shicheng took the opportunity to add to the fire.

Then, the second good news arrived: kill six generals such as Yan and Lao in Jinshaan, and occupy Dongkegu and Laiyuan Town.

Han Yanxuan was overjoyed, summoned the members of the speed room, and immediately deployed the work in the near stage. I will inform you of the war situation in Shaanxi. The crowd was full of excitement and high morale.

Su Shicheng's face turned red, and he said excitedly: Shiwang, what are you waiting for, ready to attack.

Only Qiu Zongqing, who knew the Privy Council, looked as usual, not happy or worried. Han Yanxuan asked:

Qiu Shumi, what do you think? Tell everyone about it.

Winning a battle is always a good thing, but why didn't the Jin people organize a counterattack, but instead bowed their heads and asked for peace talks. There are articles in this. Qiu Zongqing stroked his white beard and walked slowly.

Old man, among us, you are the most knowledgeable, and you are an all-round talent, tell us quickly, what are the articles? Su Shicheng couldn't wait.

The Jin people did this, showing two points, one is that Shaanxi is empty, he does not have the ability to defeat the Wu army, and the other is that the Jin people have concerns, afraid that it will be difficult to take care of both the beginning and the end, if they transfer troops to support Shaanxi, they are afraid that the Central Plains and Huaidong will be attacked. Therefore, he is waiting to see how the situation develops, if the Central Plains and Huaidong are stable and there is no war, it is not too late to turn back and clean up Shaanxi.

Han Yanxuan thought about it, it was such a reason, this old man Qiu really had insight. Qiu Shumi, so now, we are attacking again in the Central Plains and Huaidong, won't the Jin people take care of their heads?

King Pingzhang said it very well.

Huaidong Deng Youlong doesn't know military affairs, I'm a little worried, Qiu Shumi, you work hard, you go to Huaidong to take command. Han Yanxuan looked at him expectantly.

Chen Zhishan hurriedly helped, yes, Brother Qiu, with you sitting in Yangzhou, King Pingzhang and everyone can rest assured.

Qiu Zongqing looked up, since King Pingzhang and everyone looked up to Qiu, then Qiu was disrespectful.

Privy, go, I'll take care of anything.

After the meeting was dismissed, Han Yanxuan immediately entered the palace and reported to the emperor, and after Zhao Kuo listened, he nodded, Taishi, just do as you say.

The personnel of the speed room worked overtime, and Jingxiang and Lianghuai entered a state of combat readiness, waiting for the people, grain and grass to be complete, and it was already April.

The imperial court ordered the fight to start on all fronts.

On the Eastern Front, with Guo Ren as the commander, the troops were divided into three routes to attack Jinshouzhou, Suzhou and Sizhou.

On the Jinghu battlefield on the middle line, with Xue Shuxiang, the secretary of the military department, as the commander, Zhao Chun, the commander of Ezhou, and Wang Fubin, the deputy commander of Ezhou, as the assistants, divided the troops to attack Tangzhou, Dengzhou and Caizhou.

On the Sichuan-Shaanxi battlefield on the Western Front, Cheng Song was in charge, and General Wu Xi continued to consolidate the results in Shaanxi.

In early summer, the scenery of Beihai is charming, full of green branches and green leaves, birds and flowers. Walking into the peony garden, bursts of fragrance come to the nose, and the peony with raindrops is like the watery cheeks of a beautiful woman, adding a bit of water and charm. The blooming flowers are purple and red, some are pink and mellow, some have golden stamens, and some are white and jade. They are all so generous, graceful and rich.

Wan Yan Jing accompanied Concubine Li Shi'er to admire the intoxicating peony. Seeing Shi'er's long-lost smile, his mood relaxed.

Concubine, can you recite a poem about the peony?

Your Majesty, Shi'er will only recite Liu Yuxi's "Appreciating Peony":

The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and affectionate.

Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom.

Your Majesty, you are in a good mood and shout happily. I also recited a poem of the Tang people:

Who doesn't love peony flowers, occupy the good things in the city.

It is suspected to be the work of Luochuan God, and it is beautiful to break the morning glow.

After reciting, he picked a big red peony and put it on the concubine's bun. The mouth reads: "Cut a wisp of sun red, and the thousand-year-old flower color is drunk with the spring breeze."

was indulging in the sea of flowers, and the attendant came to report: Please return to the palace for Your Majesty, and there is a major event report in the court.

Wan Yanjing expected that there must be a war on the border. Everyone knows that the emperor is good, but who knows that the emperor is suffering. If the ministers and the people are not appeased well, there will be civil strife, the northern Mongolia is rampant, eyeing the tiger, the Western Xia cannot ask for help, and the Song State is unwilling to be occupied in the heart, and repeatedly provokes, always thinking about the shame of Xue Jingkang, as well as unpredictable natural and man-made disasters. These must be considered and tried to deal with them, and once they make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Also, the emperor himself also has troubles and helplessness. This year is thirty and eight, and he is not confused, but Jingran has no children under his knees, and in the past 20 years of marriage, the concubine in the palace has given birth to eight sons, but they all died. A few days ago, King Fu, who was born to Concubine Yuan, was two years old and suddenly had a high fever and finally died. Shi'er was so sad that she washed her face with tears all day long, and she accompanied her for two days, and then came to Beihai to relax.

Back in the main hall, Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Wan Yan Kuang, Privy Council envoy Meng Zhu and other ministers were there. Just look around:

Okay, let's talk about something big.

Meng Zhu bowed and bowed, and His Majesty was revealed, and the Song State sent troops to attack eight prefectures and counties, including Sizhou, Suzhou, Tangzhou, Shouzhou, and Caizhou.

Wan Yan Jing frowned, no matter how you back down, what should come is still here. How's it going?

Bu Sanhua reported that he was organizing a counterattack, saying that there was no problem, and he could withstand it.

What about Shaanxi?

Wu Xi in Sichuan has only occupied two counties in Qinzhou recently, and there is no action, and there is no news about the people we sent.

What about Northern Mongolia?

The Great Mongolian State was proclaimed, and Temujin was called Genghis Khan. According to reliable sources, they will attack Western Xia again.

At the beginning of March, Temujin summoned the nobles of the Mongol tribes and the Zhunayan (officials) to hold a "Kurultai" (assembly) at the source of the troubled river, erected a nine-legged white sword, and the people elected him as the Great Khan, called "Genghis Khan". Genghis Khan proclaimed: the established state was called "Ike Mongol Ulus", that is, the Great Mongolian State, popularly known as the "Mongol Khanate".

Wan Yanjing's mood was slightly relaxed, and it wasn't the worst. Then he gave the order:

Ordered Bu Sanhua to be the deputy marshal of the left, fully responsible for the affairs of the war against the Song Dynasty, the military guards were all commanded to make Su Shilie in charge, Shangshu Zuo Cheng finished Yan Kuang, Zi Guogong, and the same judgment Dazong finished Yan fully appointed as the commander of the eastern, central and western fronts, and quickly organized a counterattack to beat the invading Song army back. Let them see, I'm not easy to mess with. If there is news, report it immediately.
