The edict soon came down, and Wei Yuan waited for Lin Zhao to be the general of Xuanwei and went to the northwest to participate in the war against Hezhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Ji attached great importance to Lin Zhao himself, and Lin Zhao's military talents, as well as his understanding of Hehuang and Tubo, showed that he was qualified for this position.

With Wang Shao here, plus a Lin Zhao, and two powerful henchmen, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

In this regard, Lin Zhao naturally couldn't ask for it.

This trip to the northwest is not only a war achievement, but more importantly, a further control of the Western Army. The relationship between the Fold family and the farmer is only a part, and you have to control it yourself.

Knowing that Lin Zhao was going to the battlefield, the ladies in the family were naturally a little worried.

Needless to say, Cao and Zhao Fukang are even more reluctant to give up, among which Mu Sihong is the strongest. According to this rhythm, when I gave birth to a child, my husband was definitely not around, which was somewhat regrettable.

However, after they learned Lin Zhao's true identity, they all understood that her husband was a person who did big things, so they would not interfere with any decision, and would strongly support it.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Zhao was relieved and left Bianjing safely.

Before leaving, Zhao Xuan deliberately announced Lin Zhao into the palace and told him again.

"Dongyang, Hezhou is a trivial matter, you know what the point is!"

Lin Zhao nodded and said: "The matter of Hehuang, the minister and General Wang are both provincial, and they will do it!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ji nodded and said: "I have high hopes for the matter of Hehuang, Dongyang must not let me down!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Dongyang, this battle is very important, and I hope that you will work together with me to establish immortal feats." Go down in history! ”

"The minister will definitely cherish this honor. Promise not to disappoint Your Majesty! Lin Zhao secretly said in his heart: Zhao Ji. Don't worry, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

"Okay, I'll wait!"

At the beginning of July, when Bianjing was just a little cool, Lin Zhao set off with many generals.

Lin Zhao is a marquis and a general of Xuanwei, and his official rank is high. Zhao Ji also specially issued an order to fight this time. With Wang Shao as the chief commander and Lin Zhao as the deputy commander, he was in charge of the Northwest Military Affairs.

Commanders in their twenties were rare in the Great Song Dynasty, but no one said a word. After all, it was the official family who spoke personally, and General Lin's ability is also obvious to all. The battle of Wudinghe was strategized, so that the Tangut people suffered so many losses, and there was also the legendary experience of capturing the Xixia prime minister. These are enough to explain the problem, otherwise it would not have been possible to be made a marquis at such a young age.

Under the gaze of the ladies and their families, Lin Zhao rode the little white dragon and disappeared outside Bianjing City and headed for the northwest front.

Before that. Di Qing took a large number of Mingyue Sect's subordinates to the northwest to make a forward station for Lin Zhao. Gather intelligence. As for Jiang Leiting, he stayed in Bianjing, after all, there are still many family members and affairs to deal with here. Especially in terms of the safety of the son's family, it must not be ignored.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time as the Song Dynasty's army was mobilized, the greatest pressure was Hezhou Tubo.

Mu Zheng has not slept a peaceful sleep at all recently, his father has just passed away, he has to manage the funeral on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to stabilize Hezhou and consolidate his position. I also have to guard against my uncle Dong Yu, or the Song Dynasty and Western Xia taking advantage of the fire to rob.

I thought it was doing well, but unfortunately it backfired, and I was still afraid of something. The generals on the outskirts of Hezhou actually took advantage of this opportunity to do mischief, robbed the Song Dynasty caravans, and killed some Song people.

Once the truth has fallen, it cannot be changed!

When Mu Zheng received the news, he knew that the situation was not good, and in order to control the further deterioration of the situation, he immediately took action. Arrest all the generals involved in the evil deeds and send them to Xizhou to be handed over to the Song Dynasty garrison for disposal. and prepared a generous gift, and sent someone to apologize to the magistrate of the Song Dynasty.

This can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness, but unfortunately they can't wait for their gifts to be sent, Wang Shao's side has already reacted, and until this moment, Mu Zheng knew that things were far worse than he imagined.

Wang Shao rushed to send troops first, and the army pressed the border, wanting to seek justice for the dead Song Dynasty. His mouth was gagged, and Mu Zheng didn't have a chance to apologize at all.

Nothing has to be done anymore!

Mu Zheng was very smart, and he immediately realized the purpose of the Song Dynasty people. Robbed the caravan, killed the Song people, it didn't matter. If the Song Dynasty is unintentional, it only needs to apologize and compensate for it.

But it was obvious that this time the Song Dynasty did not want to give up, and this incident was an excuse for them, an excuse to send troops.

The day has finally come!

Hezhou was originally a deformed existence, and the basis of its existence was to maintain a stable balance between the Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Hehuang Tubo.

In the Battle of Song and Xia, Western Xia was defeated, and its influence in northwest affairs was weakening. Then only the Song Dynasty and Hehuang Tubo were left to confront each other.

In the past, they maintained a good relationship with each other, and they used each other to take advantage of each other. The Song Dynasty hoped to use Hehuang to contain the Western Xia, but now this containment is temporarily useless, and the people of the Song Dynasty will definitely have the heart to seek Hehuang.

Especially last year, in the Battle of Song and Xia, the Song Dynasty asked Tubo to send troops to help. But in fact, the two brothers, Dong Yu and Blind Yu, tacitly maintained neutrality and watched from the sidelines. This alone laid the groundwork for the rift between the Song Dynasty and Tibet.

The friendship between the Tibetan and Song dynasties was itself a game of seeking skin with the tiger. The people of the Song Dynasty had long coveted Hehuang, and now it was undoubtedly revealed, and they were given a reason to send troops.

Once the war breaks out, Hezhou will inevitably bear the brunt.

Mu Zheng knows very well his strength, Hezhou is too small, and the strength is very limited. As long as the strength of any party has the heart, it can break through Hezhou.

Hezhou simply did not have the capital to hold on and the strength of the First World War!

What to do?

Tied up and surrendered to the Song Dynasty?

Mu Zheng is not that kind of person, an ambitious person is absolutely not willing to sit idly by, what will happen if he surrenders to the Song Dynasty. Maybe there will be so-called courtesy, knighthood rewards or something, it seems that the honor is unlimited, but then what?

Nominally a great mansion!

Actually? Isn't it house arrest, there will be no freedom at all in the future, maybe he will die violently inexplicably, and this life will be completely over. What is the difference with the Lord of the Dead Country? It's so undignified to live!

Therefore, in any case, they cannot surrender to the Song Dynasty, and they cannot be cheapened like this.

War! Must fight!

It's just that Hezhou's strength is too weak, and he doesn't have the strength to fight with the Song people at all!

Although it has the advantage of geographical advantages, the number of troops is too small to support a big war.

So you have to find an ally for yourself!

Who else but him? Mu Zheng has had this awareness a long time ago, and now it is inevitable that it will become a fact!

Even if there were contradictions before, but now that the enemy is present, Mu Zheng believes that he will focus on the overall situation. (To be continued......)
