For several months, all over Tongzhou can be described as fierce soldiers and horses, and they have not relaxed for a moment, and now the cavalry is formed, and the battle is high. Niu Gao in the area of Taihua Mountain is also ready to go, as long as the time is ripe, he can cooperate with Wu Jue to take Tongguan and Hangu Pass to the east, and Lin Chong holds the male army and occupies Longmen, so he can easily seize Hezhong Mansion and pass through Tongzhou to the north, relying on the advantage of cavalry, and he can also take Yan'an Mansion with lightning speed. Zhao Yougong is still waiting, waiting for the moment when the imperial court will use troops in the north, it is now mid-March, as long as Zhao Ji still wants to recover Youyun, he will definitely take action.

Spring is coming, the earth is full of green, and there are more flowers and birds in Bianliang City. Sandalwood curls in front of the door of Daxiangguo Temple, and there are a few wisps of cooking smoke on the south bank of the Cai River.

In Huiyi Fang, Bianhe Street, a few peony bones are swaying in the wind, and through the tulle, Zhu Lian is holding a small kettle, playing with the bonsai in front of him. Since she got Green Willow Village in the hands of the Cheshire Lord, she has let people plant all kinds of flowers and plants, and even the previously vacant land has been used, and after a long time, she has gradually become a little interested in raising flowers.

When the end came, the wooden door of the small courtyard rattled, and a woman in purple came to the small courtyard and gently closed the courtyard door. In the past few months, Concubine Liu has been here more than a dozen times, and she has seen more faces, under normal circumstances, it should be a lot easier, but she is the opposite, every time she sees the woman behind the tulle, she will feel a little fear, and this fear has deepened again and again. Concubine Liu doesn't like the feeling of being manipulated, but she has no other choice now, she can only be false and wronged, and she must not anger the mysterious woman before there is no perfect solution.

The door was hidden, and he knocked on the door, and he was answered. Little Concubine Liu walked in. After entering the house. Xiao Liu, who has always been arrogant and elegant, folded her hands on her lower abdomen. The body was slightly arched, and his face was extremely respectful.

"Master, something happened recently, just three days ago, the official family ordered Zhao Liangsi of the Ministry of Rites to go to Huining Mansion" As she spoke, Concubine Liu raised her head slightly, and her beautiful eyes quietly paid attention to the person behind the tulle, as she thought. The woman froze.

Why did Zhao Liangsi go to Huining Mansion, and what else could he do besides discussing the covenant with the Jin people? According to the old system, the two countries made an alliance, and those who wanted to submit their credentials to each other should hold the credentials in their hands and rely on each other to prevent one side from tearing up the covenant. A long time ago, when Wan Yan Gao and Wan Yan Zongwang came to Beijing, they had already submitted the Jin Renguo credentials. This time, Zhao Liangsi went to Huining Mansion, and eighty percent of them sent a letter of state for Zhao Ji.

Speaking of this Zhao Liangsi. It's a little interesting, this person's real name is Ma Zhi, the Ma family is in the territory of Liao, especially in the area of Moyan, which is also a local wealthy family, Ma Zhi was just a small businessman before, in the early years of Zhenghe, Tong Guan went to Liao, Ma Zhi spent his family wealth to meet Tong Guan, and took the opportunity to offer the strategy of "Lianjin to destroy Liao", which was appreciated by Tong Guan. It is said that Ma Zhi changed his name in order to show his determination to return to the Song Dynasty, and at the beginning Tong Guan gave the name Li Liangsi, and later because of the law of offering the law of Lianjin, he curried favor with Zhao Ji of Huizong, and Emperor Huizong was happy and gave the surname Zhao, so that there is today's Zhao Liangsi.

In history, Lu Bu was criticized as a slave with three surnames, Zhao Liangsi can be said to be more than that, the people at that time, the most clan matters are the most important, like Zhao Liangsi's behavior, which can be regarded as a veritable humiliation of the ancestors. However, in the Huizong Dynasty, Zhu Mian of the peerless ancestral tomb could live well, what is it for people like Zhao Liangsi who don't understand benevolence and filial piety?

After listening to Concubine Liu's words, Rao is Zhu Lian, and at this time, he can't control himself, His Royal Highness has endured it for more than ten years, isn't this moment? Song Jin formed an alliance, thinking that the day of sending troops was not far away.

Zhao Ji's ability to be the emperor is not very good, but this ambition is not small, and when he thinks of what happened to Ma Zhi back then, he feels funny.

"The Jurchens hate the Liao people and cut their bones, if they move to Zideng, Lai wade into the sea, marry the Jurchens, and attack Liao with an appointment, and rejuvenate the country."

A simple sentence can be described as extremely empty and meaningless, but this sentence is that Ma Zhijian is in the heart of the emperor, and he also got the national surname "Zhao". Whether Zhao Liangsi really has a plan to break the Liao with Jin, others don't know, but it is definitely not a good thing to let this kind of person negotiate with the Jin people. Hey, Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, with Zhao Liangsi, there is no problem with Lianjin to destroy Liao, but it will also strengthen the heart of Wanyan and Agu to go south. Kill the jackal, attract a tiger, stupid.

Zhu Lian put the small kettle on the table, and after making a look at Zhilan next to him, he said softly, "What is written on the national letter?" ”

"The content is here, the master can take a closer look" Concubine Liu was prepared, took out a note from her sleeve, and handed it in the gap in the tulle. Unfolding the note, Zhu Lian looked at it carefully, and after a while, there was a little more smile on his face.

"According to Yanjing and the state city under its control, it was originally the Han land, if you want to restore the old, you will transfer the silver silk from the source and the Khitan, you can go to the discussion, although there is no national letter, forgive me not to say anything" Look at the content on the paper, Zhu Lian really doesn't know what to say, an ambitious monarch, when he is about to destroy Liao, what he wrote is not grandiose, but how to pay tribute. Because of the failure of the Liao military during the Taizu period, the Empress Dowager Xiao was forced to sign the "Yuanyuan Alliance" during the Zhenzong period, and since then the Great Song Dynasty has to pay tribute to the Great Liao every year to pay 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 silk brocades, and it is really necessary to destroy the Liao State. Moreover, the sixteen states of Yanyun only mention the city of Yanjingzhou, and do not mention other places, isn't this a cocoon? After the Liao is destroyed in the future, what should the Jurchens do if they occupy Yingzhou, Huanzhou, and Yunzhou and do not return them? Because in the covenant, only the state cities near Yanjing were mentioned, and Shuozhou and Yunzhou were almost not mentioned.

It is really stupid for Emperor Huizong to subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun, but not to mention the names of the sixteen states. In fact, Zhao Ji is not stupid, but he does not have a real emperor's heart, if he has the heart of an emperor, he will not make such a mistake.

Picking up the note, Zhu Lian smiled unhurriedly, "Liu Xinyuan, what do you think of the official family's national writing?" ”

Zhu Lian's question, which really surprised Concubine Liu, she thought for a while, and then replied in a low voice, "My subordinates feel that the content of the national letter is full of loopholes, and there are many troubles. The official family only mentioned the prefectures and counties near Yanjing. but forgot the Northwest Lands. If the Jurchens had a heart, most of them would have had an accident. ”

Listening to Concubine Liu's words, Zhu Lian nodded secretly, what a smart woman, if Zhao Ji had half of her thoughts, she would not have made a good Song Jiangshan into smoke.

"Well, you go back, kindly keep an eye on the official side. If the official family wants to send troops north, send the news immediately. ”

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!" Concubine Liu didn't dare to say more, bowed and bowed, and slowly exited the room with her back to the door.

After waiting for Concubine Liu to leave, Zhu Niangzi's expression became solemn, she lowered her head and pondered for a while, she picked up the pen and wrote a letter, and then handed it to Zhilan, "Zhilan." Dai Haoxin personally went to Tongzhou, and he must personally hand over the letter to His Highness. If something happens on the way, destroy the letter and never fall into the hands of others. ”

"Well, don't worry, the maid will be careful!" Zhilan was clever, and she could guess what was written in the letter, so she must have asked His Highness to send troops. As for where to send troops, it is naturally Guanzhong, as a Song minister, but he wants to take Guanzhong, and he should be a chaotic minister and thief, so this letter must not fall into the hands of others.

At the west gate of Bianliang, Zhu Lian personally sent Zhilan away, and now the earth is rejuvenated and warm, but he can't feel the slightest warmth in his heart, because no one can grasp where things will go next.

On March 19, Zhao Yougong was in the palace watching the cavalry improvement strategy sent by Xiao Zhiyun, Xiao Zhiyun was a rare strange woman, and she was very prescient in some of her views on the cavalry. Just as he was thinking carefully, the door was pushed open, and Nian Nu'er walked in with small steps and charming eyes.

"Official, there is an acquaintance who wants to see you today, do you see it or not?" Nian Nu'er's mouth was slightly upturned, and her beautiful eyes were a little cunning, Zhao Yougong didn't think much about it, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course you want to see you, where is the person?" ”

Before the words fell, a figure hurriedly walked in, the man was wearing a gray robe, a square hat, and a scorched yellow face, although he was dressed as a man, Zhao Yougong could still see that this was not Zhilan?

If it weren't for a big deal, Zhu Lian would never risk letting Zhilan come to Tongzhou, even if Zhilan was dressed up in disguise. Seeing Zhilan at this time, I was a little excited in my heart, "Girl, the lady asked you to come?" ”

"Hmm" Zhilan wiped the sweat from her forehead, untied her belt, and took out a letter from the mezzanine, "Your Highness, this is a handwritten letter from your mother." ”

After taking the letter and motioning for Zhilan to sit down and rest, Zhao Yougong hurriedly opened the letter and read it, the content of the letter was very concise, and after reading it, his hands trembled slightly. The moment I had been waiting for many years had finally come, and I tried to calm down, only to find out how difficult it was, my chest rose and fell, I exhaled a long breath, and after a while, I stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and shouted, "Sister Cui, pass the message, and order Zhang Yi, Fan Zeng, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Liu Ji, Gao Chong, Niu Gao and others to come to the mansion to discuss matters." ”

"Well, wait a minute, the slave will go and order."

Nian Nu'er smiled, as gorgeous as a flower, officials are rarely so excited, this time to call everyone to the palace, it is estimated that something big has happened.

Nian Nu'er retreated with a smile, Zhao Yougong picked up the tea on the table and personally delivered it to Zhilan. Zhilan's face was full of exhaustion, and there was some dark halo at the corners of her eyes, she reached out and touched her earlobe, and said with a sincere smile, "Girl, this trip has been hard for you." ”

Somehow, Zhilan's eyes turned a little red, she looked at this handsome face, and smiled sweetly, "It's not bitter, as long as it's a matter of His Highness and the lady, the servant will definitely remember it." ”

"Hehe, you stupid girl, have you ever thought that if this king is defeated, you will also die."

"The lady and the servant have great kindness, even death, what is there to fear?"

Zhilan replied very lightly, but it was very heavy in Zhao Yougong's ears, the luckiest thing in this life is to meet Zhu Lian, if it weren't for this woman, I don't know how much suffering I would have to experience.

In Bianliang City, after a hundred years of prosperity, in the palace, above the main hall, the ministers are full of ministers, Zhao Jiqi Yu Xuanang sat on the dragon chair, looked at the Wu ministers sitting down, and his heart was a little heroic. He Zhao Ji is about to subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun, this is a great cause that the ancestors have not completed, how can he not be proud?

In this court meeting, the imperial court set a plan to cut Liao, and the Liao army was divided into two armies, including Feng Tongguan as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong in Hebei, and led the 140,000 troops on the right road to march into Hebei, mainly to recover the homeland near Yanjing. He also took Cai You as the deputy envoy of Lianghe Xuanfu, and led an army of 50,000 and the border armies in the northwest as the soldiers and horses on the left to recover Yunzhong Mansion together. The two armies, totaling more than 200,000 people, of which the right road is mostly elite, and the right army is divided into three routes of soldiers and horses, with the Jingluo Sect as the east road to control the attack on the Baigou line, Xin Xingzong for the west road to control the attack on the Fancun line, and Yang Keshi as the front army to control the attack north of Gaoyang Pass.

A single army on the right gathered most of the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, which shows how eager Emperor Huizong was to recapture Yanjing. In contrast, the soldiers and horses on the left are much more down.

The army on the left road, with Cai You as the commander and Zhang Jun as the commander of Chengxuan, commanded all the troops and horses, and made every effort to capture Yunzhong Mansion. The so-called left-hand army, but there are all kinds of soldiers and horses, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Beijing, and there are local township soldiers, Su zhì is uneven, and it is a fool's dream to expect this group of people to lay down the heavily garrisoned Yunzhong Mansion. What's more, the one stationed in Xijing is still Yelu Dashi, who is the most capable of fighting in Daliao today, and Yanjing has been replaced by Yelu Chun, who is a little immature. The possibility of the left army capturing Yunzhong Mansion is almost zero, which is also known to Zhao Ji, who does not understand military affairs, but the left army is mainly to contain the Liao soldiers in Xijing, as long as the hundreds of thousands of troops on the right can capture Yanjing, this battle will be won.

The Great Song Dynasty had such a wonderful plan, but only God knows what the outcome will be.

Note: [The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are: Youzhou (now Beijing, that is, Nanjing Xijin Mansion of Liao), Shunzhou (now Shunyi, Beijing), Ruzhou (now Yanqing, Beijing), Danzhou (now Miyun, Beijing), Jizhou (today's Jinjixian), Zhuozhou (now Zhuozhou, Hebei), Yingzhou (now Hejian, Hebei), Mozhou (now Renqiubei, Hebei), Xinzhou (now Zhuolu, Hebei), Fuzhou (now Huailai, Hebei), Wuzhou (now Xuanhua, Hebei), Ulzhou (now Weixian, Hebei), Yingzhou (now Yingxian, Shanxi), Huanzhou (now Shuozhoudong, Shanxi), Shuozhou (now Shuozhou, Shanxi), Yunzhou (now Datong, Shanxi, Yunzhong Mansion in Xijing, Liao). The seven prefectures of You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan and Shun are located in the southeast of the northern branch of the Taihang Mountain, and the rest of the Kyushu are in the northwest of the Taihang Mountain, and the sixteen prefectures are roughly a large area of land in present-day Beijing, Tianjin, northern Hebei and northern Shanxi.
