***********

Di Xin was very anxious, and just after two years of good life, the smoke rose again, which made him very impatient. Every emperor wants the country and the people to be safe, and Di Xin is no exception.

Seeing that all the ministers had arrived, Di Xin calmed down, "You must all know that this ghost invasion of the south is unprecedented in scale and number of people. Everyone is the minister of the pillar country of Yin Shang Sheji, let's talk about it! ”

Bigan frowned, "King, which clan and which part of the ghost people are invading this time, who is the chieftain, do you have detailed information?" ”

Di Xin stood up, "Uncle Wang, according to the news from Hao Cheng, the ancestors of the ghost people who invaded this time lived in the bitter cold land of the north, and later moved to Yinshan. Later, it was divided into the Wolf Mountain Department and the Ula Department.

Four years ago, the chief of the Wolf Mountain Tribe, Tuoman, married the chieftain of the Ula tribe, Yi Zhixie, and became a family of sons and daughters. The power is also getting bigger and bigger, and it has annexed more than a dozen small tribes, and this time it raised troops to invade the south, with 70,000 troops, and falsely claimed to be 100,000 to the outside world.

After crossing the Yellow River in the south, it gathered in Yanmen and swept through more than 40 surrounding villages. At the beginning of the year, the commander of the Ghost Fang Army directly entered the army to besiege Haocheng (now Taiyuan, Shanxi), so Chaoge did not get a trace of news. On the fourth day of February, Haocheng was captured, and the Haocheng garrison was annihilated. ”

Than listened, bowed his head and was silent.

Ji Zi twisted his beard and said: "The ghost people have invaded the country, and it is not once or twice, every time they rob and run. The capture of Haocheng this time seems to be not a small fight.

Haocheng is an important town in the north, the north gate of Chaoge, if it is entrenched by the ghost people for a long time, it will inevitably threaten the Central Plains, and the safety of the society hangs by a thread. ”

Bigan nodded yes, "The words of the Taishi are very true, Hao Cheng can't be lost." We must face the blow head-on and subdue Haocheng in order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of our Central Plains. Everyone said: "Yes, king, summon the princes from all sides and send troops to destroy the ghosts!" Preach the message! ”

Regarding the subjugation of Hao Cheng, the opinions of the civil and military officials were surprisingly unanimous. The Chinese people in the Yin Shang period were full of blood, and firmly believed that in the face of strong enemies, only by countering violence with violence could they fight a peaceful world.

The brave spirit of this nation has been passed down to the Tang Dynasty, until the decline of the Tang Dynasty, and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, this ancient nation was raised by the Zhao family to raise wolves into sheep, seeking peace today, cutting the land tomorrow, and continuing until the evening sunshine.

Although the Ming Dynasty created by the begging emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was a hero, it did not last long, and it only lasted more than 260 years. The concept of sheep raising created by the descendants of Wei Ziqi has made the descendants of the Chinese nation taste the bitterness and bitterness.

Seeing that the crowd was excited, Di Xin said hatefully: "This king immediately summons, when the soldiers and horses are gathered, this king will drive the expedition in person!" ”

Jizi hurriedly stopped: "The king can't, the state can't be without an owner for a day, how can you drive the expedition in person?" Hao Chenghou has the ability to take charge of the army, and there is a precedent for exterminating the ghost people, so it is most suitable to lead the troops in the sub-period! ”

Shu Qi also played: "You can lead the troops in the sub-period, and the king only needs to sit in the court and wait for Haocheng to wait for the good news." ”

Fei Zhong hurriedly said: "King, the minister is willing to be a backup for the Governor of Haocheng and do his meager duty to defend the land!" ”

Di Xin was a little disappointed when he saw that his ministers were all against the pro-conquest. He sat down with his head down, silent in thought.

Ziqi was uneasy in his heart, if he wanted to bring 18,000 people to attack the camp and pull out the village, he really didn't take it seriously, so he just played with his life on the street and fought in a group. This time, it was a large army of 100,000 people fighting, and he was not Han Xin.

But the ministers set him up, and if he didn't express his position, he really couldn't say anything on his face. I had to bite the bullet and say: "King, Haocheng is the fief of the younger brother, and the younger brother of the king is justified in leading the troops, so the king will make an order!" ”

"Okay, then it's hard work, let's go back to the house and prepare, and I'll summon the princes from all sides immediately."

Ziqi left the royal city and did not return home, but went to the guard camp. The war is imminent, and it is not okay to not know all the subordinate departments. The Li Hong brothers have been working as instructors in the Praetorian Guard Battalion and the Imperial Guard Battalion for the past two years, and they have been fighting for so long, although they have no official position, they have a good prestige in the army.

It can be said that the Praetorian Guard Battalion and the Imperial Guard Battalion have improved today, and the Li brothers have contributed a lot of effort and spent a lot of effort. And the sub-period is just to move your mouth and do some programmatic guidance and training methods.

The brothers gave a detailed introduction to the abilities, habits, and temperaments of the commanders of each department in the camp to the sub-period, and the sub-period wrote them down one by one with bamboo slips. Today, the Praetorian Guard Battalion has 5,000 soldiers and horses, the Imperial Guard Battalion has 15,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 1,100 of their own private soldiers converted into the Flying Tiger Army, which is only 21,000 people at full strength.

It is estimated that these people, Di Xin will definitely not let them all go to the expedition, the royal city still needs to be guarded, it is good to have 10,000 people who can go on the expedition, these people after two years of tempering, it can be said that they are the main force in the main force, and the three of them strive for perfection and redeploy the elite together. This time it was a tough battle, and Zi Ji didn't dare to be sloppy at all.

I was busy until dark, and I didn't go home until the sub-period. When he came to the back garden, Ziqi felt that he should explain to Shang Qingjun, such a big thing, he couldn't hide it.

After Shang Rong resigned two years ago, Shang Qingjun was taken to the Hou Mansion, she is a person who likes seclusion and does not live with everyone. I renovated an elegant flower room and moved in.

It just so happened that Lai'er was talking to Qingjun, and these two people with very different personalities were actually very close, one was lively and active, and the other was dignified and elegant. Maybe Qingjun is more like a big sister, which makes Lai'er feel dependent.

The two of them saw that he had come back so late, and that he was full of concern. Not joking, Lai'er was rarely well-behaved, saw him sit down on the table, and poured him a cup of tea.

Only then did he feel that he had a dry mouth and was hungry. Drink all the water in one go, "Qing'er, do you have anything to eat?" I am hungry! ”

Shang Qingjun poured him another pot full of water, "There are only some corn steamed cakes and salt-marinated walnut kernels, why don't you let the kitchen cook some more dishes!" ”

Ziqi picked up the water again and drank it all in one gulp, "No need, don't bother them so late." ”

Lai'er gave him a blank look, "You don't even care about your subordinates, but you don't take yourself seriously." ”

Shang Junjun's face was full of frost, "It's up to Lai'er to say you, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat!" She said as she brought out the food and put it on the table.

Ziqi grabbed a piece of steamed cake and said worriedly: "Today is different from the past, the 70,000 army of the ghost side is pressing the border, falsely claiming that 100,000 have invaded the important town in the north, and Haocheng has been lost!" The king ordered me to lead the troops to the battle, it is estimated that it will not take ten days and a half months, and when the soldiers and horses from all walks of life arrive, I have to leave Chaoge! ”

Shang Qingjun was stunned, Lai'er had seen the world, and it was better. But it was also unexpected.

Seeing that Shang Qingjun's face had changed, Ziqi hurriedly bit the steamed cake and comforted: "What are you panicking about, stay away from Chaoge!" Shang Qingjun knelt silently opposite Ziqi, "I'm not afraid of what happened to Chaoge, I'm worried about you, are the 70,000 ghost thieves chief joking?" ”

It was rare that Lai'er didn't call him Bai Ganzi, and called out to Hou Ye and said, "When will I leave, I will also go with you!" ”

Ziqi hurriedly waved his hand, "No, this time is different from the past, what are you doing with a girl?" ”

Lai'er immediately pursed her lips, stared at her eyes and said angrily: "You look down on me, you forgot that I was in Xiqi, and I saved you!" ”

Shang Qingjun handed the cloth towel to Ziqi and said, "Just let Lai'er go with her, she has kung fu on her body, unlike me who has no power to restrain the chicken." With her by your side to take care of, I can worry less. She was in a hurry, blurted out the words in her heart, and couldn't help but blush after speaking.

Ziqi nodded, "It's okay, I'll ask Liao Geng to make a set of armor for you tomorrow." ”

Lyle nodded vigorously.

Qingjun raised his head, "Is Li Su going with you this time?" ”

Ziqi blurted out: "He can't go, after I leave, the Hou Mansion will all rely on him, others are clever, there are many ideas in case of trouble, and I don't worry about others staying!" ”

Shang Qingjun hurriedly said: "That's not what I said, I mean that he and Nu Jiang are not going to get married!" Ziqi patted his head, "I forgot about this, let's do it in a hurry, I'm not the groom's official, it's dispensable." You can handle it with Ji Huan when the time comes. ”

Shang Qingjun glared at him, "It's not serious to speak!" ”

After another conversation, Ziqi and Lai'er said goodbye to Shang Qingjun and returned to the back house. Lai'er quietly grabbed Ziqi and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you, and I'll definitely be able to win!" ”

Ziqi smiled casually, "What am I afraid of, it's not the first time to fight, you should go and rest early!" Lyre smiled and ran back to her room.

Although the child said lightly, he didn't feel sleepy. Let Mei Heng take a piece of fine linen cloth and sketch on it with his memory.

Although Mei Heng couldn't understand the slightest, he was also with a strong spirit. Listen to him muttering as he draws, "NND, it would be nice to have a map!" Mei Heng didn't dare to talk, looking at him as if he was going mad.

Fortunately, the memory of the child is still very strong, and he was busy until late at night, and a simple picture was drawn, but he didn't dare to call out some details. Haocheng is the Taiyuan of Shanxi Province in later generations, located in the Jinzhong Basin. It is connected to Taihang in the east, Luliang in the west, Shiling Pass in the north, and Linfen Basin in the south across Huoshan Pass.

Haocheng is in the center of this basin, the terrain is dangerous, in ancient times, it was called "the mountains and rivers in the surface", which stifled the Taihang public channel and covered the Central Plains. The ghost party wants to enter the Central Plains, and Hao Cheng is the throat point. Now occupied by the Ghost Fang Army, the Yin Shang Dynasty has lost its barrier, and the entire hinterland of the Central Plains is exposed under the hooves of the Ghost Fang people.

This land used to be a battleground for soldiers. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao built the ancient city of Jinyang in Puzhou, southern Jin, and later Jinyang was lost, and Zhao was finished.

After the Qin State unified the six countries, Haocheng was also renamed Jinyang and sent heavy troops to garrison it, which shows Haocheng's important position in the military.

The most lacking in virtue is Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, heard that Jinyang has a royal spirit, set fire to Jinyang, burned for three years, and dug the river to irrigate the city, countless dead, Jinyang was completely destroyed.

Ziqi looked down at his masterpiece and thought wildly, Mei Heng was so sleepy that he couldn't raise his head, and yawned again and again. Ziqi glanced back at her and urged lovingly: "Go to sleep when you are sleepy, don't wait for me any longer." There are some things I can't figure out, and I can't sleep well! ”

Mei Heng stubbornly shook his head, standing next to him and refusing to leave.

The sub-period had to roll up the drawing, "Okay, let's sleep!" Mei Heng smiled knowingly, and hurriedly went out to pour the hot water that had been boiling for a long time into a clay pot. She pushed him onto the bed, took off his boots, and removed his stockings.

By the time he pressed his feet into the warm water, he felt very comfortable. I can't think of this treatment before the crossing, let alone let the beautiful little girl wash her feet. It's just to transfer it to the aunt and grandmother to wash, and it's still difficult for people to wait. Rubbing his feet with Mei Heng's soft and slippery little hands, Ziqi lay on his back on the bed and sighed, "Misfortune and blessing are relied on, and blessing and misfortune are lurking." Enjoy the blessings of all people, no mobile phone to play is a fart! ”

Mei Heng took out the footwashing water and poured it, came back and said, "You can say something every day that I don't understand!" ”

Ziqi giggled and said, "Let me take you to bed!" Can you understand this sentence? ”

Mei Heng's eyes widened in confusion and shook his head, "I don't understand at all!" ”

Ziqi laughed, pulled her over, hugged her into his arms and said in his ear: "I mean, let me carry you to bed!" Mei Heng's face was crimson, but he still couldn't stand the sub-period being too explicit.

"I don't want you to hug me, come by yourself!" Mei Heng said, he loosened his clothes, and only a pomegranate-red belly pocket remained. The skin is as white as snow.

Ziqi still insisted on carrying her to bed, and the two of them were upside down, but Ziqi still couldn't sleep. Mei Heng leaned his head on his chest, "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Stroking Mei Heng's long silky hair, Ziqi said what he didn't want to say, "The war is coming, it's about the safety of the community, and the lives of tens of thousands of people, how can I sleep?" Mei Heng raised his pretty face in shock, "Are you going to go on a campaign?" ”

Ziqi told Mei Heng what he had said to Shang Qingjun again. Mei Heng hugged Ziqi tightly, and tears dripped into Ziji's arms drop by drop, "It's only been two years of good life, and I'm going to go out to fight, the ghost people are really hateful!" ”

Ziqi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since the ghost is here, it is to fight the ghost!" ”

I don't know how long I tossed and turned, and then I fell asleep. The next day, he slept until three o'clock in the morning, Mei Heng had already instructed everyone, and no one dared to disturb the sub-period.

Everyone knew that they were going to lead the troops to the battle, so the girls were extremely gentle. The service is more meticulous, which makes the child feel unnatural. After eating a lot of food hastily, he hit his horse and entered the palace.

Di Xin did not go to the Longde Palace, but summoned Ziji in the dormitory. Before he could speak, Di Xin hurriedly waved his hand, "My own brother, it's not in the court, what are you polite?" Why, I didn't sleep last night! ”

After that, let Ziqi sit on the seat and order the palace people to offer fragrant tea.

Ziqi sat down and said, "I didn't sleep until after midnight last night!" ”

Di Xin nodded, "I know that you can't sleep well, and this king can't sleep all night." What do you think? You must have some idea, right? Otherwise, you can't go into the palace to find this king in such a hurry. ”

Ziqi smiled: "I can't hide anything from Brother Wang!" Then, Ziqi told Di Xin his thoughts in detail. This time, the two divisions of Ghost Wolf Mountain and Ula joined forces to seize Haocheng, and their ambitions are self-evident. Haocheng is located at a key point, and he must have expected that our army will not send troops to take over.

Therefore, south of Haocheng, the line of the Xiao River must be heavily guarded.

If our army wants to cross the Xiao River and attack, the ghost people will use the Xiao River as a barrier and strictly defend it, I am afraid it will be difficult to win. Therefore, it is best to avoid the enemy's edge and make a detour back to the flank of Haocheng. The surprise soldiers surrounded Haocheng, surrounded but did not fight, and first annihilated the defenders on the north bank of the Xiao River from behind.

When Hao Cheng got the news, he must go out of the city to break through. Our side took the opportunity to give up the south gate, exiled the ghost army in the city to the south of the wilderness, gathered and annihilated, and reduced the losses a lot compared to storming Haocheng.

Di Xin couldn't help but nod, "Your idea is good, the route of the march has been decided?" ”

Ziqi nodded, and he memorized the sketch in his arms in his head. I don't want to show it to Di Xin, it's not that Zi Ji is selfish, if he asks a lot of things, it is really difficult for him to explain clearly.

"After our army assembled, we went out of Qishui in the east and went north to Jizhou to rest. Then out of Yangquan (now Yangquan City), the soldiers took the road to Zhangzugou dangerously, passed through Wolong, the soldiers went out of the Red Cliff Valley, and formed a siege of Haocheng. ”

"Okay, just do as you say! This king told the Marquis of Jizhou that there is no need to come to the court, and let him wait for you in Jizhou. Di Xin slammed his palm and said, "Chaoge has more than 20,000 garrisons, and this king knows that these are the elites you have trained." In this way, I will allocate 15,000 men and horses for you, and it will be enough to leave 5,000 guards to defend the court. Who are you going to take with you? ”

Ziqi was very moved, but he didn't expect Di Xin to be so generous. He thought about it, and I took the two brothers of Li Hong in Li Jiao, as well as the princes of all parties, which was enough.

Di Xin pondered for a moment, "This king thinks that the two Li brothers should leave one to defend the royal city." You bring Fei Lian and Evil Lai away, these two people are very brave and will definitely be able to help you. ”

Ziqi immediately understood when he heard it, and sure enough, as Shang Rong said, once a person sits in the position of Di Xin, he will have more thoughts.

But he didn't show it on his face at all, and said as usual: "That's better!" ”

The two of them discussed it, and Ziqi got up to say goodbye.

It is easy to march and fight, but it is more troublesome to move, and it is so busy that it is busy to prepare ordnance, supply grain and station, and transfer personnel.

The princes from all walks of life also arrived one after another, gathering eleven princes of all sizes, with 80,000 soldiers, all stationed outside the city.

Only Xibohou Jichang did not send a single soldier. Sent an envoy to the court, saying that Xiqi also had a ghost invasion, and it was difficult to divide the troops into two places. It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity between Di Xin and the sub-period, so he can only let it go.

Ten days later, Di Xin gave the child a military talisman, and when the child and Lai'er left the Hou Mansion, Shang Qingjun took Mei Heng and the Xiannong sisters all the way to the gate of the mansion.

Ziqi sat on the horse and looked at them, and wanted to comfort them, but I am afraid that it will not be helpful to say it. ruthless, with a lift of the reins, he and Lai'er hurried out of the city. It wasn't until they couldn't see the two of them that the girls returned home in tears.

The three armies slaughtered animals and sacrificed flags in the southern suburbs, and the sub-period led Li Jiao, Fei Lian, and Evil to bid farewell to Di Xin in front of the army, and raised troops to the Northern Expedition, and Di Xin personally sent Qi Shui to lead the team back to the royal city.

After four days of marching, they arrived in Jizhou. Zi ordered the whole army to camp outside the city, and led Li Jiao Feilian and others to gather all the princes into Jizhou. Jizhou Hou Suhu took his two sons to the city gate to greet him.

Brought everyone to the Hou Mansion, and Su Hu ordered people to set up a banquet to entertain Ziqi and all the princes. The Hou Mansion was as lively as if it was boiling, and the servants of men and women shuttled back and forth.

A handsome and beautiful girl was about to enter the main hall with a tray in her hand, but was stopped by a gorgeously dressed woman. "Daji, what are you doing here? This is also a place where you can come? The woman reprimanded coldly.

The girl named Daji lowered her head, "The people in the back kitchen are too busy!" ”

The woman's face became even colder, "I can't be busy, and I don't need you, go back and do what you should do!" ”

Daji had no choice but to reluctantly leave, and when he left, he couldn't stop looking into the temple.

********

Daji said, "Ask for votes, ask for votes, and never come again without a ticket!" ”
