The northwest wind was blowing, the faces of the soldiers of the Western Xia army were frozen expressionless, and the horses of the cavalry were struggling to walk in the wind and snow with their heads down. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Liangzuo's heart was as cold as the weather in this cold winter, and he silently stared ahead. The general often urged the horse to come to Li Liangzuo's side, and said loudly: "Shengshang, the front is Xiping Mansion, please order the Shengxia to be stationed at fifty miles from Xiping Mansion." This ghost weather is so cold, no matter how uneasy the saint is, I'm afraid that he won't be able to reach Yanzhou, and the soldiers will be frostbitten and reduce their morale! As soon as he set off, he encountered such weather, which already made Li Liangzuo have a vague sense of foreboding in his heart. Looking at the several generals around him who were already disgraced, Li Liangzuo raised his horsewhip and ordered the army to suspend its advance in Xiping Mansion.

Xiping Mansion is in the southeast of Xingqing Mansion, the place where Li Liangzuo must pass through to send troops, and Li Liangzuo, who left Xingqing Mansion, plunged into the palace set up in Xiping Mansion. The wine and food on the table were already a little cold, and Li Liangzuo didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, just drank the wine in a big gulp. The wine was sad, and I felt more and more depressed. The concubine serving beside him looked at Li Liangzuo's face cautiously while pouring wine. Finally, the concubine couldn't help but persuade: "The Holy Dragon Body is important, it's better to drink less." If the saint doesn't want to fight the Great Song Dynasty, it is better to stay in Xiping Mansion for a few more days. ”

Li Liangzuo stood up and kicked over the table in front of him, the concubine's words were like adding fuel to the fire, and suddenly aroused his anger: "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

The concubines, maids and eunuchs hurriedly withdrew from the palace, they didn't understand how to provoke the emperor if they were to be comforted. Wu Su, the commander of the Flying Dragon Garden, walked in from the outside, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he sighed softly, and then walked in front of Li Liangzuo: "Holy Lord, the privy envoy Manba and Ma Bu both command General Manchang to ask for a meeting. ”

Li Liangzuo said weakly: "Let them come in!" ”

When the father and son walked to the hall, they first saw Li Liangzuo's face sinking like water, and then saw the cups and plates scattered all over the hall, and the hearts of the father and son also sank. Walking to the hall, he reported to Li Liangzuo: "Qiqi Sheng, the army has received news that the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty have set off from the capital, and this time the commander of 30,000 troops is the commander of Yue Li, and the supervisor is Wang Bei. It is no different from the news I got before, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"Thirty thousand! We don't have to send half of the troops, it seems that this Song Shenzong has no tricks. Li Liangzuo said lightly, but he couldn't hear any joy in his tone.

Manchang nodded and said: "What the Holy Lord said is very true, but it's just ......" He looked at Manba, Manba shook his head at him, everyone knows what everyone is worried about now, but no one wants to say it.

Li Liangzuo said: "It's just that the king is not easy to deal with, right? Manchang lowered his head, thinking that the emperor didn't seem to be confused at all.

Man Baa coughed lightly and said: "Shengshang, this time you poured the whole country's troops to attack the Song Dynasty, just to take advantage of its unstable regime, and wanted to take it by surprise, but since the other party has been prepared, I'm afraid that this time sending troops will be half the result." ”

Li Liangzuo smiled bitterly: "Old general, how can you also grow up to destroy your prestige?" If the military order is issued and we retreat at this time, it will not show that we are afraid of the Song Dynasty. Besides, it is good for the king to come, and I want to see him. ”

Manba said in a low voice: "The minister knows that the saint has a good impression of the king, how can the two armies meet in front of the battle, how can it be the same as before?" ”

"I've made up my mind, I don't need to say more!" Li Liangzuo couldn't help but be upset and irritable again.

A minister walked into the hall: "Enlighten the saint, the governor of Xingqing Mansion, Yushi Li Xili, asks to see him." ”

"Just in time! Let him come and see him. Li Liangzuo commanded.

Li Xili hurriedly walked into the hall, and when he looked up and saw that the father and son were there, he muttered in his heart and said: "Saint, the grain and grass prepared by Xiping Mansion for this dispatch have been handed over, and now the brigade is stationed outside Xiping Mansion, and the officials of our government are talking about apportioning some more amounts. The fields were left uncultivated, the rations were scraped and they all ran away. I really can't take out the grain and grass in Xiping Mansion again! ”

According to Li Liangzuo's temper in the past, most of them would be angry and reprimanded, but what everyone didn't expect, this time Li Liangzuo was not angry. Even he was annoyed by the years of expeditions, let alone the people? Li Liangzuo felt that it was already difficult to ride a tiger this time, and now he could only grit his teeth and move forward. So he didn't intend to blame his only relative at all, after all, Li Xili and he were brothers.

"Well, got it, let's go down!"

Li Xili was stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't help but be stunned, even the father and son of Manba and Wu Su in the hall were surprised, they noticed that Li Liangzuo's expression was a little decadent, and even a little bit of broken and broken.

Li Liangzuo didn't get mad, but Li Xili was a little embarrassed, he said loudly: "Weichen is trying to find a way" I wanted to hold the idea of a blunt audience, but was sent away by Li Liangzuo lukewarmly.

"Is there anything else going on with the two generals?" Li Liangzuo looked at Man Baa and Man Chang and said, "Then go down and rest, and continue to set off tomorrow!" ”

The father and son left Li Liangzuo's palace, returned to the big tent and walked to the fire that was lit in the tent, and asked Manba while warming his hands: "Dad, don't you think that the saint has been worried about it recently?" ”

Holding the hot tea brought by the guard, Manba sighed and asked, "Did you just find out?" ”

"It's not that I just found out, and it's no wonder that the saint is worried, you see that now the Han officials in the DPRK and China are in control, and our party members are in charge of the Feng clan, Fei Ting's clan, and Xiang Li clan, although they also have official positions in the court, but they also echo the queen and the prime minister. You are looking at this dispatch, most of the officers and men in the army are looking good, and I am really worried that it will be difficult to win this time. ”

Manba whispered: "Yes, I have experienced two generations of emperors as a father, and I have experienced changes in imperial power, but now I feel more and more powerless, probably because I am old." After this battle, I will return to my hometown, and the emperor will rely on you in the future. ”

The father and son were as uneasy as Li Liangzuo in their hearts, but they didn't understand how the high-spirited young man could become so depressed. Wu Su, who was standing next to Li Liangzuo in the hall, didn't understand either, and the chief manager of the ministers beside Li Liangzuo led people to clean up the cups and plates scattered on the table that had just been kicked over by Li Liangzuo in the hall, and put the wine and food on the table again.

Wu Su stood aside with his hands down, and at this moment he didn't know why Li Liangzuo didn't let him step back as well.

Li Liangzuo took two sips of wine sullenly, and said as if talking to himself: "The wine is cold, the food is cold." When I saw Wang for the first time, the hot pot that this guy made was hot no matter how cold it was. ”

Wu Su looked at Li Liangzuo suspiciously, and finally said after a long time: "The king of the Song Dynasty is indeed a talent, and the saint's heart of love for talent Weichen understands. ”

Li Liangzuo suddenly sighed: "No one can understand that I will never be benevolent and righteous in front of the king." ”

Wu Su always wanted to ask if it was about Wang Bei's son, but Li Liangzuo said intermittently: "Manba's father and son are loyal to me, and even so, because they have a relationship with Wang Bei, I can't say anything!" Wu Su finally wanted to endure what he was going to ask, because he saw that Fang Dang, who was serving on the side, was squinting at him.

When Li Liangzuo was entangled in every way, the 30,000 troops of the Song Dynasty had already sent the advance army to inform the garrisons of Yanzhou, Weizhou, and Yuanzhou to prepare for strict defense in accordance with the plan formulated by Wang Pan and Yue Li in advance; At the same time, he sent Wang Shao to ask the various tribes that had been handed over to Western Xia and Tubo to unite and harass the Xiliang Mansion in Western Xia. When the army went all the way to the west, passing through Zezhou, Jinju and other places, Huo Ran saw a lot of people waiting along the road.

When it was dark, the troops set up camp, and the cooking army raised a cooking fire, and the bonfire gas illuminated the camp. In the tent of the Chinese army, Zhe Kejun was reporting to Wang Pang that he heard that the army was going west to resist the Western Xia, and many people volunteered to undertake the work of delivering grain, and some sent local specialty food to the commander and the supervising army. If the Song army knew about the situation faced by the Western Xia army, it would definitely be even more confident.

Coach Yue Li was in a very smooth mood, although the weather was bad all the way out of the capital, but the morale was getting higher and higher, and the officers and men in the army were confident that if it was not just to resist the Western Xia, it would be okay to set out to capture several cities in the Western Xia this time. He couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at the king.

Wang Bi knew very well in his heart that in addition to strict military discipline, the will of the people was also very important. Of course, there are more important reasons, and the king has already made it clear that if he does not catch strong men, he will not send messengers. All logistics such as transporting grain and grass have special personnel to be responsible for special funds, and those who are willing to do this are hired. And compared with the previous army to catch strong soldiers, this measure is really too popular with the people.

He told Yue Li his conclusion, and Yue Li admired the five-body throw, and while he was talking, someone entered the tent to report, and the prefect of Jinzhou asked to see the king of Zhennan. After a while, a tall and thin official in his thirties walked into the big account and greeted the king: "I haven't seen you for many years, the prince is good!" Behind him, Yu Danian and Yin Shijie were also followed.

"Oh, Brother Cheng, why are you?" When the king saw that the person who came was Cheng Hao, he was overjoyed. Get up and greet him: "When did you come to Jinju?" Why did these two come with you? ”

Yu Danian and Yin Shijie smiled: "We came over to send fragrant cakes to you, but the soldiers outside didn't let the people see you, there are many rules in the army, and I just happened to meet Cheng Governor's Mansion, and I had a few encounters in the past, so I asked Cheng Governor to bring us in as a follower." ”

"Hahaha, Brother Cheng Hao is easy to talk to, this has not changed at all! Come on, Brother Cheng, I will introduce you to Brother Yue, the commander-in-chief of Ma Budu. Wang said and let Cheng Hao in front of Yue Li. After meeting each other, the three of them sat down; Yu Danian and Yin Shijie were greeted by Zhang Ping and went to the side to catch up.

Wang Bei saw Cheng Hao smiling a little reluctantly, thinking that Cheng Hao had also been implicated by himself back then, did he still complain in his heart? asked: "Brother Cheng's ascension is a pity, it's a pity, it's still dozens of miles away from the capital city of Jinzhou, and I'm so happy that you came to see me." Why does Brother Cheng seem to have something on his mind? ”

"No, no!" Cheng Hao waved his hand and said. It's not that he doesn't have something on his mind, it's just that the king is going to the front line, and it seems that there is no need for him to know about trivial matters.
