The cold condensed in the night like frost, and everything seemed a little dull on this day when the water was dripping into ice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But this is not the case in the Northland, where the operation has now completed a beginning, and the episode at the beginning is not bad.

Shangjing, although it is cold, is brightly lit in the palace.

And in this palace of the Khitans, Wan Song was sitting on the bed, and then listening to the report of the secret agents of Changchun Hall.

After Wan Song listened to the report, he suddenly slapped the table and said happily: "Very good, I was still worried about what happened in the middle of the road, but now everything is safe." ”

The man: "Yes, eldest son." But next in the capital, the eldest prince has to secretly plan, and then completely control the fate of this city. “

"Tonight, you go to the East Pavilion, there are still many brothers from our Changchun Hall."

"Yes, eldest son." He exited the palace and walked towards the East Pavilion.

In the dark night, covered with a layer of mist, it is difficult to see from afar.

This capital, far away from the Central Plains and out of the Fortress, is like a dull old man at the moment, quietly waiting for the curtain call of life, no matter how uneasy it is, all this is about to end.

The treacherous turmoil in Shangjing is about to kick off.

And in the city, the army that was heavily guarded here was also quietly replaced by different personnel.

......

On the night of the 12th, a cold wind suddenly came.

Tokyo is still immersed in the festive atmosphere, the whole city is covered in snow, but the rooftops and alleys are covered in snow, but it is not deserted at all, and the lanterns and flags are decorated with all kinds of bright reds, and the city is crowded with people. All kinds of plays, gongs and drums make this time of the city become the most lively time.

But it's still cold, and this year it's even colder. In the first month, it was still snowing lightly.

In Kaifeng, the capital city, on the canal, there are several ships passing under the Hongqiao.

Although the winter is cold, there are still people who break the ice.

These ships are all from overseas, and they have changed to inland river boats in Dengzhou, and they just happened to catch up today, and it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a few days.

The market is also selling all kinds of lanterns along the street.

In the palace of King Wei, there was a person standing there at a side door.

Then the door opened.

This person was sneaky, and when he saw someone coming out of King Wei's mansion, he immediately ran away.

"Li Si, catch him-" The family in the house shouted, and then four or five family members chased after him together.

The man was caught.

"Who are you and why are you sneaky?"

But the man did not answer.

"Take away—"

Li Si had already arrived at the hall of the Wei Palace.

Soon after, Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, immediately rushed over.

"Li Si, who is this person?"

"Chitose, when I first went out, I saw this man standing sneakily at the side gate of the West Gate, I don't know what he was doing, and he was about to run when he saw me."

"Oh?" Zhao Dezhao felt a little puzzled.

"Quick, don't kneel down when you see King Wei!" Li Sisi shouted.

"Li Si, don't scare people."

The man didn't seem to hear, and stood there all the time.

Zhao Dezhao walked over, and then saw this person and recognized it.

"Why are you here?"

The man raised his head, and then burst into tears, "Chitose, Xiao Wu just came back from Youzhou, this is something to tell you." ”

This person is Wu Xiaowu.

Zhao Dezhao thought about this important matter, and hurriedly separated Li Si and the others on the side, and only he and Wu Xiaowu were left in the hall.

"Say it."

......

In the mountains east of Niangzi Pass, there is a starry fire in the Youzhou military camp.

There was a storm and snow between heaven and earth, falling from the sky and falling lightly on the ground, very quiet.

The dull sound of horses' hooves was clear.

After a long time, the knight gradually returned on horseback.

This is the place where the former army of the Song army was stationed, and after attacking the Northern Han Dynasty, the Song army advanced the battle line to the boundary of Youzhou.

And in the barracks, there are many students from the martial arts who visit the barracks here.

The north wind was very bleak, blowing very strongly, making people cold, and the large mountains were pitch black and almost uninhabited. But in the camp of the Song army, the Song army was still stationed in the barracks, like iron men.

Under the night sky, a barracks winds through the mountains.

Inside the gate of the barracks, four-wheeled carts were pulled in slowly by donkeys, and countless people in the barracks were also watching. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly became stronger, and the cloth covering the donkey cart that had just come in was scraped open.

For a moment, the brand-new copper coins stacked on the cart were exposed. Huang Cancan's piles of copper coins! Very conspicuous. There was an uproar in the crowd, and many people widened their eyes and made a commotion.

"This is the money that Your Majesty rewarded the soldiers, and it is the money that was rewarded after the attack on Jinyang this time, and it will be the Shangyuan Festival in two days."

When the soldiers received the money, they were all excited.

At this moment, the Chinese army camp is in the camp.

The shaking bonfire illuminated the faces of the soldiers of the Song Army, the fire was very bright but weak, and the light and darkness were obvious from far and near, forming a sense of layering.

Cao Bin's face was clear against the firelight, with sharp edges and corners, dirt and black mud between the wind-frosted textures of his skin, and grass dust on his shaggy light beard; But a little away from the firelight, it was dim and blurry, and it was not clear to see, and further away could only see a dark shadow.

"I think after the winter, the official family will order an attack on the Khitan."

"Half a year of preparation, we have planned very carefully."

A few soldiers sitting around the fire asked: "It's really cool, if the official family orders it, we will definitely kill him and steal a Khitan dog." ”

"This time, the Khitan suffered heavy losses. The land of Youyan has been recaptured by my Great Song Dynasty, and they will definitely not give up. ”

Cao Bin said: "Youzhou is also very important to the Khitan. ”

Cao Bin naturally knew that the climate of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun was warmer than that of the grassland, and the land was fertile, providing a large amount of grain, salt, tea, cloth, utensils and other uses for the Great Liao.

Secondly, Hedong has been lost, and the land of clouds is the only outpost of Daliao into the Central Plains. The grasslands will lose their active advantage over the Central Plains and will be very likely to be at a disadvantage.

There are also some reasons, some Khitan nobles are too arrogant to admit it, but people of insight have accepted it; Otherwise, the Khitans would not appoint Han officials to change the official system, and there would be no southern city in Beijing for Han children to live in. Our Great Song Kingdom surpasses all ethnic groups in many places such as the code system and the skills of craftsmen.

In the end, Cao Bin said, "Anyone who has a public heart should be recognized, Youzhou is extremely important!" It's worth keeping with the whole country! ”

When the soldiers heard it, they felt quite reasonable, and nodded their heads in agreement: "It makes sense." "Reasonable......

"Although we drove them out of this place, we can't guarantee that there will be no chaos in the north."
