From Gyeongju to Suiju, you have to pass through Yeonju and Qingjian Castle successively. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Lin Zhao and the others took a shortcut in the mountains, the speed was quite fast. As for the somewhat strange caravan, because it was guarded by the elite of the 500 Western Army, it was safe and sound along the way, and there was nothing wrong with it. Therefore, he soon arrived in Yanzhou, which was later known as Yan'an in northern Shaanxi, another important town on the northwest defense line of the Great Song Dynasty.

There will inevitably be a delay after passing through Yanzhou, and there are two reasons, one is that Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, specially rushed to Yanzhou. Now that the war in the northwest has entered the stage of peace talks, the focus is also concentrated on the front line of Suizhou, and Lin Zhao is about to go to Suizhou for peace talks. As the supreme military commander in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, Han Jiang has the obligation to come here to express his support and condolences, and to give relevant cooperation.

It is also possible that the court has a will, or Han Xuanfu has something to advise, and he has to go through it both in public and private. Therefore, Lin Zhao naturally wanted to come here to listen to the teachings, and at the same time, the team could also get proper rest and supplies.

There is another point, that is, the old friend Shen Kuo is now serving as a manager in Yanzhou to join the army, and Lin Zhao should come to visit and reminisce. At the same time, I also look at the scientific inspiration given to Shen Kuo, I don't know if he has any major achievements. Especially the sand table samples that were sent recently, and a few drawings that were specially sent later. I don't know how far he has improved, and if there are any molded samples?

Yanzhou is an important town in the northwest, and when you walk to the city gate, you can see that the army is heavily guarded, and the atmosphere is still slightly tense. It is no wonder that the Western Xia army has not yet withdrawn, and the Shaanxi/West Road Xuanfu envoy is here, and the security must be strictly guaranteed.

Lin Zhao and others led three thousand elites to arrive, which once made Yanzhou a little nervous. But soon there was an exchange. After inspecting the soldier seal letter. It was directly released.

As soon as you enter the city. Lin Zhao and Liu Changzuo immediately rushed to the Zhizhou Mansion, and now the Xuanfu envoy Xingyuan visited Han Jiang.

"The last general will meet Han Xuanfu!" Seeing Han Jiang again, Lin Zhao found that the wrinkles on the old man's forehead were much deeper, and his face was also quite tired. It is no wonder that when the Western Xia army invaded, he was in charge of the army and responsible for defending against the enemy. It seems to be in the rear, and he did not go to the front line to fight. But in terms of fatigue, it is definitely far ahead of the front line.

There is a way to be in the middle of the strategy, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and Han Jiang is responsible for the command of the entire northwest war. All roads, states and counties, all kinds of things are quite messy, and it can be described as a thousand things. There are also many things to coordinate, responsibilities, a lot of worry, and heavy pressure on your shoulders. It's really hard to live.

Over the past few months, Han Jiang has lost a lot of weight. The whole person looked very tired, so he also aged a lot. But at this moment, Han Jiang had a smile on his face, relatively speaking, he was a lot more relaxed, and his whole person's spirit was much better than before. The victory of Dashun City in the first battle was of extraordinary significance to this war, because the capture of Liang Yi, the prime minister of the Western Xia Kingdom, magnified the results of the battle many times, beyond imagination. As for the defeat of the Zhejia army in Jingzhou, the losses were not very serious, and in the face of the major victory in Gyeongju, they were directly ignored, so Han Xuan's envoy was still in a very good mood.

The war is over, and peace talks are about to begin. Although it is still in a state of hostility for the time being, Han Jiang is sure that the peace talks will definitely succeed. After all, the peace talks were initiated by the Tanguts, and the Battle of Dashun City was a fiasco, and even the prime minister was captured, which was a huge blow to the Tanguts. It is reasonable to say that a truce is the best choice, and Empress Dowager Liang must know this, at least for the time being, she will not send troops to war.

The officials and ministers of the DPRK and China have agreed to the peace talks, and the conditions offered are not too harsh, and the two can be said to have hit it off, and theoretically speaking, the peace talks can be successful.

Moreover, the envoy of the peace talks is Lin Zhao, Han Jiang has an inexplicable trust, he firmly believes that Lin Zhao will come out, and the matter of the peace talks will be resolved smoothly. Now he is inexplicably full of confidence in this young man, and even he himself can't say why.

Speaking carefully, Lin Zhao is really his own lucky general. If it weren't for him, how could the Battle of Dashun City be so smooth and victorious? Although everything was planned and arranged by Wang Shao, on the surface, Lin Zhao only seemed to play a role in cooperation. But don't forget, Wang Shao used Lin Zhao as bait, otherwise how could he attract Liang Yi to bury quick success and quick profit, and come recklessly? If it weren't for Lin Zhao and Jing Sili fighting bloodily in Dashun City, risking their lives to hold on, how could Wang Shao's sneak attack plan succeed? If Liang Yibu hadn't been defeated and captured, where would the war have ended so quickly?

It can be said that Lin Zhao contributed a lot to the end of the Northwest War, although he may not have done much, but the importance and role he played cannot be ignored. He also saved a lot of trouble because of this, and Han Jiang was also very grateful in his heart.

Of course, he clearly remembered that when Liang Yi's army attacked Dashun City, Wang Shao sent him a letter. Yan Ming used Lin Zhao as bait, but he sweated.

The last time I put Lin Zhao in danger, I was already a little sorry, but this time I put Lin Zhao in a dangerous situation, it would be bad if there was any more mistakes. What's more, the current status of the person is noble, whether he is a dignified earl, or the niece and son-in-law of the Empress Dowager, he does not dare to make the slightest mistake. Now seeing that Lin Zhao is safe and sound, Han Jiang is completely relieved.

It's just that he came out of the land of tigers and wolves, and he has to go to Suizhou for peace talks, and there are inevitably verbal battles, swords and swords. What should I say about this? Should it be said that Lin Zhao is versatile and extraordinary? Or is it a bitter fate? In the court, I can't help myself! Han Jiang really sympathized with Lin Zhao, he was really embarrassed for him! Although he is very optimistic about Lin Zhao's trip to Suizhou and has many expectations, he is inevitably a little worried!

"Dongyang, the war in Dashun City has just stopped, and you have been asked to go to Suizhou non-stop, it's really hard for you!" Han Jiang was apologetic and sincerely cared about Lin Zhao. Han Xuanfu saw the figure of a sincere young man in Lin Zhao, so he was willing to treat each other sincerely, and his concern was definitely from the bottom of his heart.

Others are good to themselves, Lin Zhao is aware of it. Not to mention anything else, so many times, in many things, Han Jiang is willing to help. When I returned to Bianjing, I did everything possible, and even worked hard to personally escort and protect myself back to Bianjing.

"The boss is serious, it is really Lin Zhao's honor that the imperial court can send me...... Lin Zhao was worried about his limited ability, afraid of disappointing the expectations of the officials, the court, and the boss, and he was worried! Lin Zhao was very sincere and low-key, humble and polite.

To tell the truth, he himself was very reluctant to go to such a thing as peace talks. After several envoys, engaging in these foreign affairs, not to mention the verbal war, there will always be a danger to life. Although there was no danger, the danger was finally saved.

But as the saying goes, if you often stand by the river without getting your shoes wet, and if you walk at night too often, you may really encounter a ghost. Therefore, Lin Zhao was really unwilling to take such a risk. In particular, the peace talks between envoys and envoys inevitably involve intrigue and intrigue, which is really brain-consuming. If you don't get it right, you have to be pointed out by thousands of people, the official is impeached, and the emperor is dissatisfied, which is really a thankless thing.

After being in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, Lin Zhao is no longer the stunned young man he used to be. If you give you an errand, the emperor will value you? At first, I thought it was right, and I never tired of it. But now it seems that it was a big mistake. Ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, and in the ancient scheming society, interests are the eternal focus. The emperor or the officials use you, it is because of the use value, and sometimes they even want you to go directly to death.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhe Wenxin was captured, the identity of the peace negotiator was just conducive to rescuing his beloved wife, so he went there, otherwise who would have done that thankless and extremely risky thing?

Speaking of which, there is one thing that makes Lin Zhao extremely satisfied. That is, no one knows about the capture of Zhe Wenxin, which gives me a lot more convenience and consideration. The Zhe family is naturally tight-lipped and tight-lipped from Wang Shao's side, which shows this character, Lin Zhao's impression of Wang Shao is getting better and better, and the opportunity for in-depth cooperation has also come into being.

Han Jiang didn't know Lin Zhao's thoughts, and said: "The official has nothing to explain, everything is negotiated according to the principles of the imperial court, and I believe that Dongyang will do a good job." "The officials present in Yanzhou are all very envious, this Lin Shilang is young, but he is favored by the emperor, and the Xuanfu envoy is so caring, he is really young and promising, and his future is immeasurable! Envy, what a envy!

"This is going to Suizhou for peace talks, the Xixia people may have some conspiracy and tricks, and they must be guarded against!" Han Jiang was a little worried and said, "I will strictly order the border troops of all states to be on guard, as for your side...... Wang Shao has allocated you with 3,000 elites, and close security should not be tightened. As for the military support on the periphery, I have already informed the cultivator of Qingjian City, and he will fully cooperate! ”

The closest military town of the Great Song Dynasty to Suizhou is Qingjian City, so the military support on the periphery is naturally served by the Qingjian City Army. I have some friendship with the Qingjian City planters, and I think I can cooperate very well. Of course, according to the current situation, when going to Suizhou and passing through Qingjian City, you must visit the general of the plantation, I don't know if the seed master is not there?

Han Jiang explained and arranged some things properly. Lin Zhao's department was in Yanzhou to rest for one night and replenish some supplies. Peace talks are the first priority at present, and the whole of Yanzhou naturally fully cooperates, and there is no need to worry about it at all......

After meeting Han Jiang, Lin Zhao did not greet the Yanzhou officials much, but went straight to find his old friend Shen Kuo. Go and see those long-awaited treasures, I don't know how the manufacturing is improving? (To be continued.) )
