Chen Xiaoniang said to Yan Rong: "Let's go to Xiangguo Temple to make incense together, and let the Buddha bless you to pass the pavilion test as soon as possible." ”

Yan Rong is close to Zhu Zhu, close to Mo Mo, has been by Zheng Lang's side for a long time, and he doesn't believe in the Buddha very much, but his wife likes it and has to follow. The two came to Xiangguo Temple together.

Xiangguo Temple still has Zheng Lang's calligraphy rubbing, but after several years, it is not a tablet after all, there are many people who copy it, and it is gradually smoothed, and many handwriting is not very clear. The two of them were incense all the way, and suddenly a voice came: "The concubine came to incense, everyone quickly avoided it." ”

Miao Guifei took her daughter to Xiangguo Temple for incense.

Fu Bi has not brought back the news, and Miao Guifei is still living in the palace.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the Khitans really value her daughter.

The people hurried to avoid it.

Yan Rong and the little lady of the Chen family did not retreat far, standing not far away, watching Miao Guifei walk into Xiangguo Temple with the guards and eunuchs.

Miao Guifei is not very old, she is only in her early twenties, and her appearance is very beautiful and moving.

But a more beautiful wonderful person has been added to the palace, Zhang.

Zheng Lang privately ranked a list of celebrities in this era, the one with Yuan Hao and his son in the future, and then the one of the Khitan little prince, and the Zhang family in the palace, which are the three most beautiful beauties in this era. Not necessarily the most beautiful, but the most famous.

Miao Guifei is also good, her daughter is still young, and she can already see that she is a living little beauty fetus, following her mother, jumping mischievously from time to time.

The people who saw it were a little ashamed, in order to protect the Great Song Dynasty, the official family actually used their only biological daughter as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Khitans, and when they thought of this, they couldn't complain to the imperial court.

After Miao Guifei finished the incense, her eyes glanced at it, Yan Rong's chubby body stood very conspicuous in the crowd, her hand beckoned, Yan Rong came over, and Miao Guifei asked, "Are you a student of Zheng Xingzhi?" ”

"See the concubine, see the princess, the subordinate is exact."

"Will your husband protect the princess?"

"Please rest assured, concubine......" Yan Rong didn't know how to answer.

"Who is he?" The little princess lowered her head and said in a milky voice.

"It's your guardian knight," Miao Guifei said with a forced smile.

"What do you mean by guarding?"

"He will guard your happiness."

Yan Rong was a little embarrassed, if the Khitan people had to be a little princess, would the teacher be desperate with the Manchu Dynasty? Don't dare to answer.

Concubine Miao looked at his face, extremely disappointed, and hurriedly returned to the palace.

Soon it reached Zhao Zhen's ears, and Zhao Zhen angrily passed the Miao family in, and asked: "You just went to Xiangguo Temple to make incense, in front of so many people, what kind of guard?" ”

"Official, and you are the emperor?" Miao Guifei said sadly.

Wang Deyong was impeached by Wenchen, and he was scared, so he selected two beautiful girls from the people and sent them to the palace.

Zhao Zhen, who is from the folk and has a very serious civilianization, sees it and likes it very much. After being learned by Wang Dan's son Wang Su, he advised Zhao Zhen not to get close to women. Zhao Zhen knew what he wanted to say, so he said: "Wang Deyong does have a beautiful woman to offer to me, just in the palace, I like it very much, you just let me stay." ”

made the minister afraid, and he was afraid that his harem would be disturbed. Sure enough, Wang Su did not give up, and said: "The minister admonished today, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will be confused by women." ”

Zhao Zhen looked embarrassed, but still said: "Wang De used the women he sent, and each of them sent three hundred yuan of money, so that they could leave the palace quickly." ”

As he spoke, tears rippled, and he was reluctant to do so.

Wang Su was influenced by his father, his surname was gentle, and when he saw Zhao Zhen like this, his heart softened, and said: "Your Majesty thinks that the ministers are right, there is no need to handle it in a hurry, since the women have entered the palace, it is better to send them after a while." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Although I am the emperor, like the commoners, I am afraid that I will stay for a long time, because I can't bear to send them away because of my deep love." ”

Han Qi admonished, reduced the palace maids and attendants, Zhao Zhen took the fold back to the palace, because of the head of the house, he took off the crown without taking off the imperial robe, and called the eunuch to come in to comb his hair. Zhao Zhen said. The eunuch said that there were still Kabuki and dancers in the minister's family, and once they were promoted, they would continue to increase the number of attendants, and there would not be many attendants of His Majesty, but they suggested that they should be reduced, which was not very excessive.

It seems to be a good thing to say, when Han Qi raised the most family records, he had raised nearly 100 family members.

Zhao Zhen replied, the counselor's suggestion, of course I should adopt it.

The eunuch said, "If Your Majesty adopts it, please take the slave and maid as the first person."

It's not to bewitch Zhao Zhen, it's really to fight for Zhao Zhen, you are the emperor, you are so aggrieved that you don't dare to drink soup when you stay up all night, and you usually wear coarse linen robes, what else do these ministers want. However, Zhao Zhen called the eunuch in charge to come in, checked according to the roster, and cut the twenty-nine palace people and the combed eunuch out of the palace. Empress Cao asked why the combing eunuch was a close confidant of His Majesty for many years, not a superfluous person, so why did he also cut him. Zhao Zhen said, he advised me to reject the advice of the counselor, how could I keep this kind of person by my side.

It is precisely because of all these things that Miao Guifei is worried about her daughter, but she doesn't dare to make a big noise.

Zhao Zhen touched her hair and said, "Concubine Miao, you are my concubine, and the princess is my daughter, but I am not only the father of my daughter, but also the father of the Great Song Dynasty." What do you want me to do? ”

The proposition is too big, Miao Guifei is only in her early twenties, she knows something, she doesn't dare to distinguish, she can only cry in a low voice.

But Zhao Zhen was also sad, and didn't blame Miao anymore and let her go back.

……

Fu Bi should not be wronged, first wronged, and in the future, we can see how worthwhile this grievance is.

Miao Guifei shouldn't worry either. The Khitans may not be much interested in her daughter, and the reason why Zheng Lang said that the guardian knight is not purely against Heqin, but also for the future of Princess Fukang. It's not that he's afraid of opposition from the ministers, he really wants to be the godfather of this little witch.

Let Zhao Zhen get a sense of comfort and happiness......

The autumn wind tightened.

Jingyuan Road received good news one after another.

First of all, Fan Zhongyan agreed, militarily disagreeing with Zheng Lang's thoughts, but Fan Zhongyan was not a surrender faction, and he was fighting in the Song Realm, so he immediately agreed. But his forces did not move for the time being, and they were left for other purposes.

Not to mention Han Qi.

As for the rules of the imperial court, to hell with it.

According to Zheng Lang's orders, he secretly brought 5,000 cavalry and joined the Jingwei Road army in advance.

Han Qi himself came to Weizhou again.

There is about to be a big war again, how can you miss me?

Zheng Lang saw Han Qi arriving in a hurry, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "Brother Zhigui, you can get as much as you can after the war, and the plan is arranged now......"

If you want to fight, you can make it, and if you want the spoils, I can let it go, but don't interfere. I'm afraid of you.

"What do you say, Xingzhi, don't I know the severity."

"Drink tea, drink tea," Zheng Lang almost choked.

"When?"

"The scout came to report, saying that Tiandu Mountain had begun to gather troops."

"I used to despise scouts."

"I spent more than 90,000 yuan for the scout, and some of the money and silk were used unclearly, if it wasn't for the victory, Yanchen would definitely be impeached, Brother Zhigui, you also had difficulties at that time," Zheng Lang said.

I'm afraid that Han Qi will forcibly intervene, so say good things. It's not your fault. In fact, the incomparable contempt in my heart is not just contempt for the scout, Di Qing was under your account at that time, such a brave general, you actually don't reuse it, isn't this a mistake?

It's not to belittle Ren Fu, Ren Fu is very brave, heroic sacrifice, that sentence I am a general, defeated, to repay the country with death! It has inspired many soldiers. But compared with Di Qing's command talent, it is too much worse. If Di Qing led the troops, would he be ambushed?

Ren Fu's attack on White Leopard City has been proven, and Di Qing has been even more proven, coming to the northwest for more than 100 battles, and none of them have lost. The great victory of the security army was far better than the battle of White Panther City.

Han Qi didn't know what Zheng Lang was thinking, he felt that Zheng Lang was very face-saving, hehe, and asked, "Where is the battle?" ”

"Dingchuan Village!"

It turned out to be a wall, which allowed Zheng Lang to expand slightly, and now it has become a village.

"Why?"

"The river water in front of Dingchuan Village is too nitrate, and it is not allowed to be drunk. There is water in the back, which is easy to block. However, because of the topography, it is necessary to build a village here. This has become the only place where there are loopholes in the frontline villages. ”

Han Qi became interested, took the map and looked at it, and said, "Yuan Hao may not be fooled. ”

"Look, it's really not good, and then make arrangements." Zheng Lang can't say it, I also arranged a son and let Ge Huaimin lead the army to stay in the city of Dibei to lure the enemy. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. Han Qi knows that he will be very sad if he uses this as a handle in the future.

And I vaguely feel that in the future, I will have negotiations with Han Qi, Pang Ji and others.

Jiang Xing'er made another cup of tea. The expression on his face was not very good-looking, and this Han Qi came over to grab the credit again.

Han Qi didn't realize it, the generals didn't take it seriously, how could a concubine put it in his eyes, took a sip of tea and said, "Xing'er, your tea-making skills have grown again." ”

Apricot didn't answer.

Han Qi didn't care and asked, "When will you go to Dingchuan?" ”

"Go to Zhenrong Village for the time being, but this trip needs to be done in secret, so that Yuan Hao can underestimate the enemy."

"I know, so I'm here in plain clothes."

As for whether there will be impeachment in the DPRK and China, Han Qi doesn't care.

"I'm still waiting, waiting for the three thousand cavalry to come."

"Blind soldier?"

"When Yuan Hao comes to attack, he will inevitably gather about 100,000 troops. Although we have 60,000 troops and horses on the Jingyuan Road, each village and town must send troops to garrison it, and some of the troops are bound to be divided, which is seriously insufficient. Therefore, he asked Brother Zhigui and Brother Xiwen to help, and Brother Xiwen's troops could not be sent out for the time being, so he found a blind felt, not only defending his own strength, but this person was a Tubo after all, and he had a period of contact with Yuan Hao. He had been hesitant in his heart, so I used an excuse to transfer his 3,000 soldiers and let him join forces to fight against Western Xia, completely cutting off all his ideas. ”

"Why can't Brother Xiwen's army go to Jingyuan Road?" Han Qi asked puzzled. But at the mention of the word Xiwen, a trace of disdain flashed in Han Qi's eyes, and it passed away in an instant, still seen by Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang sighed, the defeat of Haoshuichuan, Han Qi hated Fan Zhongyan.

"Look at the map again."

Han Qi lay on the map and looked at it.

"Brother Zhigui, when the enemy comes, it must be all the cavalry, even if there are infantry, they are also heavy soldiers, stay in the rear, the victory can drive straight in, and the defeat can calmly retreat. Although we trained some cavalry on Jingyuan Road, as well as your subordinates, the number of cavalry was inferior to that of the other party. In addition to strict military discipline, horsemanship and horse archery skills may not be as good as those of the other party. The battle of the walled city is my Song Dynasty's strength, and I have to guard against it. Then you look at the map. ”

"I see, you're trying to give a great deal of credit to Xiwen."

"It's the same for you and me to Brother Xiwen, everyone is a courtier of the Song Dynasty, for the country, why should they be so clear. If you are in Huanqing Road and have a convenient location, I will also give you the opportunity. ”

Han Qi stood up and took two steps, very unconvinced.

"Drink tea."

Han Qi sat down again, took a sip, and drank a cup of tea in one go.

Zheng Lang is angry and funny, this Han Qi has been staying in the northwest for a long time, and he is becoming more and more like a soldier, and his actions are very vulgar. said calmly: "Brother Zhigui, the dispute between my dynasty and Western Xia is just the beginning. Because the country is in a hurry to meet the war, the treasury is empty, and there is a possibility of peace. But will it subside later? The opportunities are many. ”

"Why do you want to be with you, we will rest and recuperate, and Xia Kou will also recuperate. This is a labor pain, although the people are under pressure, get through it, and the Western Xia will perish, then our dynasty will be done once and for all. ”

That's another way of saying it.

Zheng Lang also thought about it. It's not now, after the Khitan and the Western Xia fight, if it is implemented properly, will there be a chance to wipe out the Western Xia? However, thinking about the face of the minister of the DPRK and China, this idea immediately hit the news.

I don't know if Fu Bi will say a sentence like in history: "This is still surpassable, if you want to accept the word offering, then it will rise as if the sky cannot be obtained, so that the minister's head can be broken, this proposal will never dare to promise." ”

seems to be strong, but in fact, the heart is very sad. Because Fu Bi knew what kind of group of people the Khitans would face once they crossed him. Will Lu Yijian and Yan Shu persevere? But at this time, Fu Bi didn't think much about it, not only Lu Yijian and Yan Shu, would Fan Zhongyan insist? Will Pang Ji insist?

This is not only the mistake of Lü Yijian, but the mistake of the ancestral family law of the Song Dynasty.

Look at how much hatred and hatred have arisen after a Northwest Campaign...... All think that they are Dou E. Will these hatreds flared up?

I get dizzy just thinking about it.

I resolutely do not participate.

That one did something wrong and shouted the legendary Bao Qingtian, not the real version of Bao Zheng to judge the case, and he didn't know what was wrong.

said vaguely: "Don't care about the future, fight the current battle well, and come step by step." ”

It's also true, this time there are ten ** Yuan Hao will come in person, 100,000 elite soldiers, far from being comparable to the two wars last year.

Han Qi calmed down again and discussed with Zheng Lang. Some Zheng Lang said it, and some Zheng Lang didn't dare to say it.

Blind felt didn't know that he was calculated by Zheng Lang, and really sent 3,000 elite soldiers. All of them were warriors in his tribe, but they were negligent in discipline and became a fly in the ointment.

Zheng Lang quickly organized them, and it was time to leave. The scouts also returned to Weizhou to report, and more and more Western Xia troops gathered in Tiandu Mountain. Cui Xian said goodbye to Zheng Lang at home, and Jiang Xing'er took a peace charm and said, "This is the concubine who asked for it from Kongtong Mountain." ”

Huan'er blinked her eyes and said, "Officials don't believe in Buddhism. ”

"Huan'er, don't talk nonsense, the officials believe in the real Buddha, not the fake Buddha." Si'er said seriously.

"What are you talking about, this is the peace charm I asked for from the Taoist temple."

Cui Xian watched them arguing, and laughed in her heart, her husband not only did not believe in Buddhism, but also did not believe in Taoism. It's just that I don't oppose the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and what I do is also some correction, not to destroy the Buddha or the Tao, so it causes all kinds of misunderstandings among outsiders, which are all wrong. I didn't expect my family to have a misunderstanding. However, he looked at Zheng Lang and said, "Official, you have to be careful. ”

"What are you afraid of when you walk with me?"

"Different, he won't ...... his family like an official"

"Don't let him hear it," Zheng Lang said, pointing to Han Qi, who was waiting for him outside the courtyard.

"The concubine knows that he is ...... careful" After speaking, Cui Xian covered her mouth and secretly had fun. So when her husband dealt with Fan Zhongyan, he went straight to the point, and when he dealt with Han Qi, he was always twisting and turning, and he was cautious. I don't know which one he will plague after the war in the northwest is over.

Scourge whom, Fan Zhongyan!

Can you think of that?

Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly rushed to Zheng's house, and the soldier turned over from his horse and reported breathlessly: "Xianggong, Yang Jiujin rushed to the northwest with eight hundred Jurchen horses. ”

"Where?" Zheng Lang asked happily.

Han Qi also came to the spirit, and the group of Jurchens under Zheng Lang was very useful, and they were used to charge into battle every time. It's a pity that after several battles last year, half of the people were lost. After the battle of Agancheng, there were less than 400 people left, and they could not exert their might. Now there are 800 people, more than last year, and it will be a strong team.

"Come quickly, it is estimated that we will be able to come to Weizhou in three or four days."

"Okay." Zheng Langsuo's surname stayed in Weizhou and did not leave, waiting for them to come. He was waiting, and Yuan Hao was also waiting. When the five divisions of Jiashan arrive, these five divisions will provide him with more than 2,000 elite soldiers.

Time passed quickly, three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Yang Jiujin arrived quickly with eight hundred horsemen.

Zheng Lang called Zhao Bao, Zhao Zhong, Zhao Sheng and them in advance, there were hundreds of thousands of Shengnuzhen, but they were scattered everywhere, although they got Zheng Lang's letter, it was not easy to get around, and they took some of the Shengnuzhen family members, and it took a lot of time and money. Fortunately, Wang Zhaoming is still in the Wa Kingdom and is constantly being promoted, so he thanked Zheng Lang for his vigorous cooperation. Even so, only seven or eight hundred people were caged, and they were deployed with each other, and eight hundred soldiers were squeezed out, as well as their families from the north, and they returned to the Song Dynasty by boat and landed directly in Mizhou. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch up with this battle.

This creates a drawback, because of the rush, there is not much time to train and fight together, and there is a lack of cooperation. Zheng Lang could only regather the nearly 400 Jurchen soldiers of Zhao Bao and Zhao Zhong, and then disperse them again for formation.

At a glance, more than a thousand people were very interested.

I heard a lot of rumors along the way, and I also saw with my own eyes the family members who were bought back by the Song Dynasty with a lot of money. It turns out that if they are reduced to the status of slaves and prisoners of war, they will be treated, they all know. I didn't expect to usher in such a fate, and I was overjoyed one by one.

As for those fighters who have already died, who is going to ask? Nor is it his own brother or relative, who cares about him.

The original soldiers cheered happily when they heard that their families had been sent to the capital and that it was the emperor of the Song Dynasty who ordered them to be treated kindly.

Zheng Lang smiled. It's impossible, otherwise the entire Northeast Jurchen people will be emptied, and he is willing. That was the future disaster of the Song Dynasty. I also know that this idea is unrealistic, there are no Jurchens, and there are Mongols. One is more fierce than the other, the system of the Song Dynasty does not change, and sooner or later it will be swallowed alive by this group of hungry wolves.

That's the future, don't think about it, order the reorganization.

There are only more than 1,000 people, and the reorganization is very fast. But we can't underestimate these more than 1,000 people, Di Qing only used 500 horses in front of Kunlun Pass. These Jurchens were more fierce in combat than those five hundred horsemen. Then it was handed over to Guo Kui to lead. After several battles, Guo Kui grew up quickly. Changing someone else to lead this part, Zheng Lang is really not at ease. However, the integration time was short, and there were even many Jurchens who could not speak simple Chinese, which also made Zheng Lang a little worried.

Standing in front of the team, he said: "You also know that if you want to be prosperous and rich, you must exchange it for military exploits. The enemy you are facing is not strong, not the kind of fighting that you are fighting in the northeast. And you have in your hands the best weapons and the best armor of my Great Song Dynasty, which can keep you safe. ”

After finishing speaking, let the Jurchens' own ten generals and Dutou translate, and wait for them to finish translating before saying: "And let me tell you one thing, it is possible that this is the last battle in the next few years, and if you want to get more opportunities for glory and wealth in the future, only this time." ”

Zhao Bao was anxious and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, why don't you fight?" ”

"After this battle, the Tanguts will surrender, how can they fight?" Zheng Lang said lightly, he couldn't explain it in detail, and he couldn't explain it to them clearly.

Twitter, screaming, and not knowing what they were talking about. But knowing this agitation, whether these Jurchens came first or came later, their morale was all aroused.

This sentence should not only be said to the Jurchens, but also to all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who participated in the war, so as to arouse their morale in order to have more chances of victory.

"Brother Zhigui, let's go."

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he turned his horse and led the team to rush to the north.

The autumn wind was tighter, blowing his hair flying and dancing, and the autumn was deeper, and the northwest was full of solemnity, the mountains were quiet, and the yellow leaves were flying......
