The seventh snow since the beginning of winter. It is also the largest snow, after the heavy snowfall, there is really a mountain dancing silver snake on the land of Hexi, the original Chi wax figure. The scenery of the northern country is particularly enchanting, but the locals are not used to this scene. If there are people who come from the south and see the snow for the first time, before they have time to praise it, they will also be blown back to the ambiguous kang house by the whistling snow foam blowing all over the sky.

In such weather, except for a few hunters who trekked through the thick snow that did not reach their calves in search of small beasts, few people would appear, such heavy snow, not only the car was difficult to pass, but also the donkeys, horses, and camels were also difficult to walk, but at this moment there was a team marching at a very fast speed in the reckless wasteland. More than a dozen sleds were pulled fast by the dogs, and hundreds of people in gray and white leather robes roared on skis in front of and behind.

A small beast suddenly heard something in the wind, and immediately ran away, burrowed into a snow cave, and peeked out quietly. The strange procession was speeding across the snowfield in front of them, whether they were sitting on sleds or on skis, they were all wearing thick leather robes, their mouths and noses were covered in thick felt towels, and their eyes were actually covered with black veils, which looked strange, and the little beast had never seen such a person, so he couldn't help but be startled, and immediately fled as fast as he could.

This team is escorting several Xiazhou military and political leaders such as Yang Hao, Chongfang, and Ding Chengzong on the way to Yinzhou. For the first time in the northwest, such a strange means of transport was used for the march of the army. In fact, it is not known how many years ago that sleds and snowboards have been invented, and the earliest surviving record of skis is the petroglyphs of skiing with skis carved by the ancients more than 10,000 years ago in the Altay Mountains of Xīnjiāng.

Yang Hao has never skied in the snow, and he doesn't know that in this era, there are not only sleds in the northeast and northwest, but also skis. When he first remembered this, a carpenter came to him in a strange way, and told him his ideas in a gesture, and the carpenter only listened for a while, then patted his head and said, "I'm afraid what the emperor said is not the 'Chana' used by our northwest people for winter travel, right?" ”

At that time, Yang Hao was stunned, and after asking carefully, he realized that the locals called 'Chana' is skis, which are slightly the same as the skis used by modern ski enthusiasts, the skis are about 13 cm wide and 220 cm long, straight from the tail to the pedal, and gradually tapered inward from the pedal to the tip of the front end, slightly upturned.

It's also easy to make. Generally, spruce wood is used to plane the prototype, half put it into the fire, use the moisture of the board itself to bend it, or boil it in hot water to bend one end, and then set the shape. The middle of the board is made of raw cowhide as a binding, the size of a shoe, and then wrapped with a belt, the bottom of the board is covered with animal skin, and the fur is backwards, so that the skis can not only walk on flat ground, but also can be used to climb or slide down the mountain. As long as you have all the ingredients, you can make one in no time.

The carpenter himself is good at skiing, he made a pair, very hard to Yang Hao to perform, this kind of Chana used ski poles are not double poles, but a single ski pole about two meters long, both ends are wrapped with iron tips, not only can be used for skiing, balancing, mastering the direction, but also as a weapon.

After his demonstration, Yang Hao found that although the speed of this ancient ski pole is not as fast as that of modern skis, it is more practical and durable. You can glide on snow, rocks, fallen logs, something that modern Western skis can't do.

Yang Hao was overjoyed to see this, and immediately selected all the soldiers who knew how to use 'Chana' as instructors to teach the whole army to learn to use skis.

Now, the Liao and Khotanese states have taken the lead in recognizing the establishment of the Great Xia State and sent envoys to celebrate. After hesitating for a while, Gao Changguo also "replied shyly" and recognized the legal status of the Great Xia Kingdom. For Khotan and Gaochang, after all, the Song State is too far away from them, although I heard that the Song State is very powerful, but it is this Great Xia State that is close at hand, not to mention that the Khotanese State is receiving Yang Hao's military assistance, how can there be a reason to offend Yang Hao for the Song State who has never dealt with it. Acknowledging the establishment of the Great Xia State, although it will make the Song State dissatisfied, it will not lead to military confrontation, and the immediate interests cannot be ignored.

The Liao State also recognized the existence of the Great Xia State, and the Liao State is now unable to look westward, and a force to counter the Song State has appeared in the northwest, which is of course of great benefit to them, but they did not promise to give the Great Xia economic and military assistance, and now this kind of recognition is a bit like an underworld elder brother patting a little brother on the shoulder and encouraging him to say: "Brother, fight with him, carry it to the end, the eldest brother supports you in the jīng god!" ”

This is the reaction of Liao. There is no other reason, just because the conditions given by Xia to Liao are too few, and such conditions are not enough for a few bigwigs who control the army of Liao to send troops for it, and although Xiao Xuan and Yang Hao have an unknown relationship, they will also not be embarrassed and help each other unconditionally.

After all, she is the empress dowager of a country, representing a huge ruling group, everything she does must be from the perspective of national interests, and she will not do anything that is not in line with the interests of Liao. She must seek the interests of her own country, for this, it is possible to intrigue with each other, if she is really a little girl who is dazed for love, willing to help Yang Hao at all costs, it will not work, it is against the public interest of the group, and the only result is to be abandoned by her ruling group and fall into a place of no return.

And Yang Hao was in a hurry on the snowfield at the moment, that is, after receiving the letter of state from Liao, he urgently negotiated with Ding Chengzong and Chongfang, and decided to go to the front line in person. Hold a meeting with the front-line generals to draw up the next course of action of the Xia State, and at the moment, Xia Guo's every move is inseparable from the support and understanding of the front-line generals, and they can't stay away from the front line at this time, so Yang Hao has to condescend to each other.

However, Yang Hao is now also the emperor of a country, and his status is noble. The battle on the Hengshan front line was in full swing, and the battle for each other had reached the most intense time, under the fierce offensive of the Song army, dangerous places often changed hands several times, and the ministers of civil and military affairs refused to let him personally get into danger. Therefore, the meeting place was chosen in Yinzhou City, which is closest to the Hengshan front.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tanheyan Mountain, Diao Cicada Cave.

A woman wearing a warm sleeve of Zhaojun's lying rabbit down, a mink tail with a ring neck, wearing a dark cloud leopard fur, and a slender figure is looking into the distance, and suddenly sees a line of black spots in her eyes in an instant, getting closer and closer, those people are all swords, shields, bows and crossbows, fully dressed, and there is no war horse under them, and they are as fast as flying, like a storm crashing on the shore, and they go straight down the mountain.

She immediately walked down the hillside, and when the team of men and horses came closer, she led the guards to meet the people at the bottom of the mountain, and when she saw the person sitting upright on the sled in front, the woman in fur immediately stepped forward, bowed her head, and bowed down: "Governor Shi Long Ling'er, meet the official." ”

"Hehe, Aiqing is flat."

When Yang Hao saw this beauty, he smiled heartily. When Tang Yanyan had just recommended Long Ling'er to him, he had guessed Yanyan's intentions, but this Long Ling'er was brave and resourceful, and he was indeed a rare talent. Since he established the country, he needed to win over all the forces that could be co-opted, and his wife and concubine wanted to withdraw from the political center and implement his national policy of allowing women to participate in politics, and he really needed people to fill this gap, so he pushed the boat down the river and agreed. Of course, he also gave Ke Zhenwei and Li Yide another reward, one is to appease their hearts, and the other is to praise them for adapting to the times and taking the initiative to go out of the city to stop Ye Luosu and Li Pishou.

Yang Hao and Yan Yue asked scerely: "What is the evil of Li Yide and Ke Zhen?" ”

At the beginning, the Long family was able to survive between the Jinshan Kingdom and the Ganzhou Huifu Gap, and had its own set of unique features for governing the place. This Long Ling'er is the beloved daughter of Long Hanhai, the dragon king of Suzhou, and she is indeed a talent, and after arriving in Yinzhou, she presided over political affairs, which was a hundred times stronger than Ke Zhenxi, who knew nothing about politics and economics, and Li Yide, who became a monk halfway, and indeed took care of Yinzhou in an orderly manner, and gradually prospered. For such a proud subordinate, Yang Hao must of course be polite.

Long Ling'er said: "Li Zhizhou and Ke Defense Envoy were unable to go out of the city to greet each other in person due to their heavy responsibilities, and Weichen is here to greet the holy driver

Yang Hao asked: "I see, you get up, can the few main generals who guard Hengshan arrive?" ”

"Xie Guan's family." Long Ling'er stood up, still bowing her head respectfully: "When the ministers left the city, they were about to arrive in Yinzhou, and they should have been waiting in the city at this moment." , the mountain has a car back, can the official family change to a car? ”

Yang Hao said: "In this case, there is no need to change cars, General Yang and the others can't leave for a long time, let's hurry up." This sled is very fast, save some time, you can also come up and sit with you, these guards, let them ride slowly. ”

"Obey."

Long Ling'er agreed, got on the sled, and sat down beside Yang Hao, although she was slender, she was still shorter than Yang Hao, sat beside him, leaned forward slightly, and half of the pink neck was exposed in the mink tail, the neck was thin and long, the lines were soft, and the skin was fair, it looked like a beautiful virgin, who knew that this enchanting was actually the history of the governor of Yinzhou.

As soon as the sled rider shook the rope, a dozen large dogs pulled the sled and ran up the hillside.

In Yinzhou City, Yang Hao greeted the civil and military generals, and immediately rushed to the general's mansion of the defense envoy, and as soon as he entered the meeting hall, he couldn't care about being polite, so he immediately summoned the civil and military forces to start planning a detailed strategy for the difficult army to deal with the immediate situation. After Yang Hao introduced the current internal and external situation clearly, Ding Chengzong said: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the official family ascended the throne, the offensive of the Song State has become more and more powerful, and now the Liao State only agrees to establish diplomatic relations with our country, and refuses to give any substantial assistance, it can be expected that once the Song State learns this news, it will inevitably be more unscrupulous, and the pressure we are under will be even more than before." ”

The generals immediately discussed, and Ding Chengzong raised his voice and said: "When Chengzong was in Xiazhou, he suggested to the official family that our country was newly established, and the country was small and weak, and it was inseparable from the help of Liao. We could have made more concessions in exchange for Liao's aid, but the officials had already vetoed Chengzong's suggestion, believing that external help would not be a lasting solution.

The establishment of the Xia State is beneficial to the Liao State, so where we can help, we don't ask for it, the Liao State will do it, and where we can't help, we don't know how many concessions we have to make in exchange for the assistance of the Liao State, so we will have to accept the control of the Liao State from now on, which can be said to outweigh the losses, so we have to solve this difficulty ourselves. ”

Liao's military assistance was originally an external factor that Xia Guo's civil and military forces were looking forward to, but Ding Chengzong's words were the first to tell everyone: Don't count on Liao, don't give Liaoguo more benefits, Liaoguo will not send troops, and the officials have not considered giving Liaoguo more benefits at all.

Zhang Chongwei, who had been sent to Hengshan to participate in defensive operations, frowned slightly and said: "If there is no direct intervention of the Liao State, or if they create some incidents on the Liao-Song border to contain the Song State's troops, I am afraid that the pressure we will bear is too great, and in a short period of time, the Hengshan defense line may not be breached, but in terms of troop consumption, we will not be able to consume the Song State." ”

Yang Yanpu said in a deep voice: "Yes, if we don't enlist the assistance of the Liao State, our difficulties will increase tenfold. However, the last general thought that it was not necessarily a bad thing for the official family not to turn to the Liao State for help. The ambition of the wolf sons of the Liao State, once they rely too heavily on them, they will gain an inch, and in the end, we will inevitably become vassals of the Liao State, and how the Liao State takes and demands from its vassals, you should be able to see from the situation of the Han State. At that time, my Xia State will be just a tool in the hands of the Liao State against the Song State, and the monarchs and ministers of my Xia State will also become the pawns of the Liao State. Placing the fundamental hope of our Xia Kingdom on the Liao State is that the front door rejects the tiger and the back door leads the wolf, which is not advisable. ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly, nodded approvingly, and said: "What Yanpu said is very true, relying on the Liao State, it is not enough. And around us, there are no other powerful allies, we can only rely on ourselves, the difficulties are more difficult, but once we get through this stage, we can reduce a lot of trouble. In our war to unify Hexi, every enemy was stronger than us, but in the end, we defeated them one by one. Before, now, can't?

Put the behemoth of the Liao State in to help us deal with the Song State, the two giants are fighting on our territory, and the first to destroy will not be these two tigers, it can only be us, so ...... Don't put too much hope in external forces, we need to calculate how to survive this difficult time with our own strength. ”

Now that the tone has been set, the civil and military personnel only need to follow this tone to make plans, one by one the plans are proposed, and then they are refuted one by one under the argument of their colleagues, and Yang Hao also interjects from time to time to join the debate between the positive and negative sides.

He is the supreme ruler of the Great Xia Kingdom, it does not mean that he is the most outstanding politician and military strategist of the Xia Kingdom, for a long time, he has already cultivated a good atmosphere among his subordinates, everyone expresses their opinions, knows everything, and says everything, even if it is something he personally proposes, it can be refuted. At first, everyone had some scruples, but now everyone is used to his style.

Everyone talked for a long time, Yang Hao suddenly found that Yang Jiye was too silent, he rarely interjected, only listened to when others put forward a new opinion, once overthrown, his eyes would be re-cast to the sand table, pondering and meditating, Yang Hao's heart couldn't help but sink slightly, Yang Jiye is the commander-in-chief of the Hengshan front, and he is also the general he relies on most on the Eastern Front, if he is pessimistic and depressed about this battle, then it will inevitably affect the morale of the whole army.

Yang Hao opened his mouth and asked, "General Yang thinks, how should we deal with the current situation?" ”

Yang Jiye stared at the sand table in front of him, and didn't hear Yang Hao speak at all, Yang Yanpu hurriedly turned his father's arm and reminded in a low voice: "Dad, the official family called you." ”

"Oh? Yes! Official ......"

Yang Jiye came back to his senses and looked at Yang Hao blankly: "What did the official family say?" ”

Yang Hao sighed and said, "I said...... Does General Yang have an idea of how we should deal with the Song Kingdom? ”

"This ......"

Yang Jiye looked at the sand table again, pondered for a moment, and said: "In the short term, it is impossible for the Song army to break through the Hengshan defense line, but once the news that the Liao State has not helped us spreads, the Song State will have no worries, and it will inevitably send more troops to give us a greater impact, even if we can withstand it, the consumption will inevitably be great."

This is not the most troublesome, what is even more troublesome is that without the containment of a strong opponent, the offensive of the Song State can be continuous, and avoiding a protracted war is exactly the original plan of the official family. Then, if we want to avoid a protracted war, it is not just as simple as holding on, we must also inflict heavy losses on the enemy and force the Song State to give up the armed attack, at least ...... I will also greatly hurt his vitality, so that he will not dare to increase his troops to the west of our river for a while. ”

If it comes to strategy, he can be strategic, if it comes to specific tactical strategies, these times the front of the enemy and our two sides of the formation, offensive and defensive battles, he often in his own mind after receiving the information, his reaction and judgment and the actual results of the battle corroborate, so that he knows that his actual combat experience is still inferior to Yang Jiye, at this time, listening to him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly asked: "General Fei thinks that we should still take the initiative to attack?" ”

Yang Jiye shook his head slightly, and Yang Hao couldn't help but say: "We are discussing the military here, and the speaker is not guilty, if the general has any opinion, he may as well say it, and everyone will argue it." ”

Yang Jiye hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The last general thinks that we ...... Yokoyama should be abandoned and retreated again. ”

When the civil and military forces heard this, they were in an uproar, and Ding Chengzong changed and said: "Hengshan Tianbao has also been abandoned?" We haven't shown defeat yet, so we're retreating? If Hengshan is abandoned, the door is wide open, and the Song army drives straight in, and you can go straight to the city of Xiazhou. ”

Chongfang, Zhang Chongwei, Li Jitan, etc. were also moved, but Yinzhou Governor Shi Long Ling'er put a pair of wonderful eyes on Yang Hao, her daughter was careful, and she was not like a man to win, so her first instinct was that Yang Jiye still had a move, so she immediately looked at Yang Hao to see how he reacted. Chongfang and Ding Chengzong are both thoughtful people, and after a moment of shock, they also reacted, so they stopped talking and looked at Yang Jiye.

Yang Hao was also taken aback when he first heard what Yang Jiye said, Hengshan has always been a reliable battle against the Song army in his heart, if he gives up the Hengshan ......, in his opinion, it is not much different from Li Yu's mood when he first heard that the Song army crossed the Yangtze River safely.

But when he saw Yang Jiye's god, he couldn't help but move in his heart: "Yang Jiye doesn't want to come up with a trick of Lin Chong to beat the head of the Hong sect?" Is it possible? The strength of the Song army is not weak, we took the initiative to give up Linfu, in order to gain the initiative, gather superior forces, and deploy dangerous mountain passes, strategically speaking, it is to retreat as advance, but in the face of such a powerful opponent, Hengshan also gave up......"

He slowly raised his hand, stopped everyone's voices, and waited for a moment in the hall before he slowly said, "Yang Qing, tell me your reason." ”

Yang Jiye said: "Yes, the official family, the minister thinks that although it is difficult to defend Hengshan, we can still hold it." But it was impossible to defeat the Song army and force them to stop advancing by force. And according to the general plan of the officials, we must end this war as soon as possible and force the Song court to negotiate peace with us, so we must use extraordinary means. ”

Yang Hao asked: "Your extraordinary means is to give up the Hengshan Heavenly Danger, withdraw the army again, and have an offensive and defensive battle with the Song army in Xiazhou City?" ”

Yang Jiye said: "If according to the minister's idea, it is not a good idea to fight a decisive battle in Xiazhou, it is better to continue to withdraw, until the eight hundred miles of Hanhai are withdrawn, and the Song army will be led to Lingzhou City and then fight to the death, it is the most appropriate, but it is ...... Since the official family has established its capital in Xiazhou, the country cannot be abandoned lightly, and it must not be retreated, so it ...... had to stop at Xiazhou. However, although there is no help from the Eight Hundred Miles of Hanhai, it is winter at this time, and with the help of God, it can barely withstand the effect of the Eight Hundred Miles of the Hanhai Desert, but it is just ...... Inevitably, it's going to be a little harder. ”

There are still many people in the audience who don't understand what Yang Jiye means, but Yang Hao, Chongfang, and Ding Chengzong have already understood a little, and the three of them leaned forward together, and Yang Hao couldn't wait to say: "Go on." ”

"Yes!" Yang Jiye agreed, and then he said the bold plan he had just considered mature. According to his calculations, it is difficult to hold Hengshan Yi and force the Song State to make peace, and once the war lasts for a long time, the Xia State, which has weak national strength and an unstable foundation, will inevitably have such and such problems in the long war, collapse from the inside, and if you want to end the war as soon as possible, you can only defeat the Song army as soon as possible, and if you want to defeat the Song army as soon as possible, if you want to defeat the Song army, in the case of your own limited strength, you have to put them in and create more powerful victory conditions for yourself.

This condition is to take advantage of the urgency of the Song State to achieve victory as soon as possible, and give this bold and self-reliant emperor of the Xia State a little bit of shame, abandon Hengshan, and carry out a strategic retreat. Even a famous general of Pan Mei's generation could not imagine that Xia Guo took the initiative to give up this Hengshan, which was an important support for Xia Guo, not to mention that they could retreat in an orderly manner and make it look like a defeat.

Whether it was out of the political needs of the Song court, or from the analysis of the specific battlefield situation, or from the analysis of Pan Mei, the commander, in this situation, the Song army did not fight steadily, build fortresses step by step, set up camps and advance step by step, giving Yang Hao the possibility of respite, their only choice was to quickly pursue and seize this opportunity to deal a heavy blow and even destroy the Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop.

The side effect of the rapid advance of the Song army is that the battle line is too long, the troops are scattered, and the logistics supply becomes more difficult.

As long as Xiazhou is used as a stronghold to attract the main force of the Song army to besiege the city, and can hold on to the fierce attack, the huge logistics consumption will become the most headache for the Song State, but at this time, the Xia State can give full play to its large advantages, it has a large number of migratory tribes on the periphery of the Song army, which are all grassland nomadic tribes with all the soldiers, and the loyalty to Yang Hao is extremely high, which can destroy the Song army's communications and supplies, and constantly implement sāo harassment tactics against it.

And Yang Hao's Xia ** regiment can also give full play to the advantages of cavalry combat, implement counter-encirclement on the outer line of the Song army besieging the city, attack the east and west, encircle the point to send reinforcements, move and fight, destroy the supply line, and drag the Song army down. The harsh winter still has a long time to pass, and during this time, when the Song army is cut off from supplies and demoralized, it is time for them to launch a full-scale counterattack. Under the overlook of the Liao State, a complete victory of the Xia State was enough to force the Song State to temporarily stop the military advance.

After Yang Jiye's plan was finished, Ding Chengzong was the first to object, he knew that Yang Jiye's bold plan was not without the possibility of realization, but with the capital as a bait and the Great Xia Emperor Yang Hao as the bait, he couldn't accept such a risk, once it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not agree to use such a risky idea.

He also opposed this plan, and the reason was basically the same as Ding Chengzong's, using the emperor as bait? It's simply a big rebellion, Yang Jiye only thinks about the victory or defeat of the war, and completely forgets how important the emperor is to an empire, even if he loses Hengshan, Xia Zhou, Xia and more than ten states that go straight to Yuguanmen, it will still become one of its countries, but if the emperor is lost......

In the face of the accusations of the civil and military forces, Yang Jiye smiled bitterly: "We can prepare first and deploy the already strong Xiazhou City again." The minister has guarded the city for many years and has a lot of experience. With the current siege equipment and the siege tactics of the Song army, as long as the ministers are properly arranged, the ministers are sure to resist the attack of the Song State and ensure that Xiazhou is not lost. ”

Li Ji said: "No, I object, although General Yang is good at defending the city, but a hundred secrets are sparse, using the official family and the capital as bait, in case something misses, we can't afford to lose." ”

Yang Yanpu said: "You Dao Song Guo is so easy to deal with?" Pan Mei is so easy to fight? Our Xia country is newly established, the soldiers are small, the foundation is shallow, if you don't do the danger, how to win? This is called putting oneself to death and then being born. ”

The two sides argued fiercely, Yang Hao sat on the top and listened to everyone's opinions but remained motionless, his face seemed calm, but his heart was turbulent: "What the hell is this going to fight a battle to defend Moscow?" Can Yang Jiye become Zhukov's second? Will Xiazhou be my Waterloo, or will Uncle Zhao's masterpiece be a masterpiece? ”

was groaning, and Chongfang stopped the argument between the two sides, and turned to Yang Hao: "Official, although the plan proposed by General Yang has the possibility of success, it is too risky. In the opinion of the ministers, we might as well make another attempt to get the Liao State to exert pressure on the Song State, our existence is of great significance to the Liao State, they will not sit idly by, we only need to make a slight concession, we can exchange for their help. ”

Yang Hao shook his head, was silent for a while, and said: "No, for the Liao State, only completely equal conditions can be proposed, and no help can be obtained at the expense of sovereignty, even if it is a small concession, this is related to ......"

He paused, Huo Di raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "Just follow what General Yang said, immediately strengthen the city defense of Xiazhou, meet with the leaders of various departments, and make all kinds of contingency arrangements in advance, and then General Yang will lead the Hengshan armies to retreat, and after the layout is completed, immediately launch internal and external operations until the conditions for counteroffensive are ripe!" ”

He stood up and said: "Xiazhou is the center of the five states of Dingyan, but it is not the center of Hexi, I now own the whole of Hexi, Xiazhou is no longer suitable to be the capital of my Xia country, I have long intended to establish Xingzhou as the national capital." Xingzhou West Yuyumen, south control Xiaoguan, north Helan, east of the Yellow River, surrounded by Shun Jing Huaiding four state Gongwei, north of the big trap valley, west of Tengger Desert, east of Mu Us Desert, south of Qingtong Gorge, easy to defend and difficult to attack, tiger standing in Longpan, and because of relying on Helan Mountain and the Yellow River, the environment and climate are suitable, not far away from the grain city is the hometown of grain and rice in Hexi, and the most set is the capital. Therefore, I decided to make preparations for Xingzhou, and Lord Ding immediately began to prepare, first moving all the families of important people in Xiazhou and my Xiazhou wealth to Xingzhou. ”

Yang Hao wants to move all his wives and concubines to Xingzhou, that is, he wants to accept Yang Jiye's plan and stay in Xiazhou to take risks. Seeing that his plan had been decided, Ding Chengzong no longer refutated, but agreed solemnly. Yang Hao negotiated with the generals from both strategic and tactical aspects, and when all the arrangements were clear, he said: "The generals of Hengshan will return immediately, and when the layout here is completed, they will immediately start to retreat!" ”

The generals roared and dispersed immediately, Ding Chengzong and Chongfang walked out of the hall side by side, seeing that all the civil and military forces had dispersed in a hurry, Ding Chengzong waved his hand, and the guard who pushed him immediately stopped and retreated gently. Ding Chengzong turned his head and said, "Adult, I always feel ...... The officials seem to have other plans. ”

He said with a smile: "The emperor's mind, it's better not to speculate." ”

Ding Chengzong smiled and said: "It's not to guess the thoughts of the official family, but that we are assisting the people, and we must always strive to be perfect." I mean, the attitude of the officials towards the Liao State...... There is a problem. ”

"Oh?" Chongfang walked over, pushed his wheelchair, and asked as he walked, "What is Lord Ding's opinion?" ”

Ding Chengzong groaned and said: "In the past, when the official family tried to plot Yinzhou, they fought side by side with the Liao people, although at that time, each took what he needed, the Liao people sought King Qing, and the official family sought Yinzhou, but the Liao people captured King Qing and left, and did not take the opportunity to enter the city to ask for wealth, which is very different from what the Liao people have always done, which can be seen ...... The official family still has a fairly close relationship with the Liao people.

Now the official family is self-proclaimed emperor, Hexi dúlì side, which is a very helpful thing for the Liao people, in fact, the official family does not need to pay a great price, whether it is out of their own interests, or because of the past friendship, as long as they make some concessions, it is not difficult to get the help of the Liao State. What is puzzling is that the official family seems to be completely insincere about relying on the power of the Liao State.

Whether it is the current strength of my Xia Kingdom or the current predicament, the help of the Liao State is very important. However, the conditions put forward by the official family in the national letter are only to give preferential treatment in the transaction of some goods, and the Liao State is so huge, how can these benefits be seen in its eyes? The official family just refuses to give in half a step, don't you think it's a little strange? ”

He couldn't guess why Yang Hao had such an attitude towards this big country that was the only one willing to help Xia Guo and had the strength to help Xia Guo, thinking about it, he could only smile bitterly: "Perhaps, the housekeeper Xi Rì was struggling under the control of the Song State, and Shen took this as a warning, so he didn't want to be controlled too deeply by a strong country." ”

Ding Chengzong shook his head slowly, he knew Yang Hao very well in the past, when he could take advantage of the situation, Yang Hao would never hesitate, especially at such a difficult moment, how he refused to take advantage of the situation, there must be more considerations, and he would get greater benefits, but ...... This is obviously a disagreeable thing on both sides, and this benefit ...... Where?

Ding Chengzong was puzzled, he found that he really didn't understand his brother's current thoughts more and more.

After all the civil and military forces retreated, Yang Hao stood in the hall and frowned and thought for a moment, and shouted: "Dark night!" ”

A gray-clothed man flashed in in response, bowed down to receive the order, and Yang Hao ordered: "Immediately notify the Bashu side, stop the supply of grain and grass to the righteous army, and tell Xiao Liu'er that on the day of the 'Sacrificial Stove Festival', attack Chengdu to seize grain, and the greater the momentum, the better." ”

The gray-clothed man agreed, turned around and left, Yang Hao muttered to himself: "Who said that the emperor is not a hungry soldier?" If you should be hungry, you must be hungry. ”

He paced a few steps with his hands up, and thought: "Although Yang Jiye's strategy is risky, it can reduce the loss more than my idea of resisting the hard top. Bashu can let Xiaoliu cooperate, Bianliang's side, do you want to ......?"

Thinking about it carefully, he shook his head again: "No, Bianliang's move to ambush the chess, you can't move now, it's not time yet, it's not time yet......"

In Bianliang, there is a wine shop on East Cross Street, called Ding Meiren Wine Shop, and the owner is called Ding Meiren, a beautiful young woman in her twenties, and there is a young man under her hand. This store is not big, but in a place like East Cross Street, where every inch of land is valuable, a little woman can afford to open such a store alone, and her family is quite wealthy.

This shop does not sell vegetables, just a simple wine, in this downtown business variety is so monotonous, most of the business is not good, but this woman who sells wine is as beautiful as looking at the distant mountains, her face is charming and often like a hibiscus, her skin is silky and her mutton fat is beautiful and jade, and her figure is graceful and graceful. The wine sold in the winery is of good quality, never mixed with water, and never sells sour wine that has been left for a long time, so many drinkers come to take care of it.

There are a lot of people in the city of Tokyo, and there are naturally many good sè people among the good drinkers, not to say...... Is wine the medium of sè? When Ding Meiren Liquor Factory just opened, Xiong Kaishan, the prankster on East Cross Street, saw people, and his saliva immediately flowed to the ground, and he immediately announced that this beauty was his forbidden belly, but he only teased this beauty, and before he could do anything, he was hung up and beaten violently by several strong men of the forbidden army.

When those soldiers were tired of raising their legs and leaving, his pungent brothers had the courage to go over and let him down, when the bear boss's tongue was stretched out for a long time, swollen to three inches thick, and I don't know what kind of tongue pulling out punishment those soldiers used, although the tongue was not pulled out, it has since become a big tongue, and what is worse is that both of his legs are lame.

At the beginning, his former brother still respected him for three points, but after a long time, no one paid attention to him, and the new boss of East Cross Street, Zhu Zhuangshu, thought that his original big brother was an eyesore here, and he was also afraid that he would bring disaster to himself, so he kicked the widow's door and dug up the grave of the household, and did all kinds of evil and did everything on the East Cross Street, and the bear boss who put the golden chair on the East Cross Street could only hold a broken bowl and go to Zaojiazi Lane to guard the tomb of Shan Xiongxin to beg for food. Later, a young and handsome general often came to visit, and after a long time, everyone knew that this general must be her best friend, so that no one dared to make trouble......

At this time, it was snowing heavily in the city of Tokyo, the snow was pervasive, fluttering and sprinkling, seeing that the snow was thick and the guests were scarce, the Ding beauty ordered: "Xiao Ming, the snow is so heavy, there are no guests coming to the door, put the door panel on, you go back first." ”

The young man was overjoyed when he heard the shopkeeper's early closing, and hurriedly got up to go to the door board, and just installed two doors, a person in the uniform of the forbidden army outside stepped on the broken jade Feiqiong and came briskly, and entered the door while brushing the snowflakes on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "What, do you know that I am coming, will this be closed?" ”

Xiao Er took a look, and hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "Ouch, Mrs. Luo, isn't it too snowy, the shopkeeper's order, rest in advance." ”

When the proprietress saw him coming, she hurriedly stepped forward, and while using a towel to help him sweep the snow from his head and shoulder, she said gently, "The snow is so heavy, why do you come here to do it." ”

The little two were clever, and when they saw the two talking, they hurriedly put the other two door panels on and went away. Unexpectedly, two old men in fur clothes walked out of the restaurant opposite at this time, with calm steps and serene expressions. These two people are the former chief officer Chu Zhaofu and the current director Luo Gongming, the two walked out of the restaurant to say goodbye, Chu Zhaofu turned around and boarded his small sedan chair, and the next person lifted the sedan chair and left lightly and quickly.

Luo Gongming didn't leave, the old man didn't dazzle, and the scene of Luo Kedi entering the store was looked at by him, but it was just that Chu Zhaofu was next to him, and it was inconvenient to show his appearance, and when Chu Zhaofu left, he saw that the young man went to the door, leaving only a small door, and he also slipped away, Luo Gongming couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "This is ...... enemy, what kind of person is the woman who sells wine......

There was a scholar with a round neck and a long shirt and a rabbit down ear cap next to him, and he walked into the restaurant, heard the second half of his sentence clearly, turned his face to look, and saw that although the old man was older, he did not bend his waist, his back was not hunched, and he looked very dignified, and he looked very dignified, and he couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, old man, do you also look down on the little lady who sells wine?"

Hehe, it's a good vision, but look at your rare life to be so big, the old arms and legs can't help tossing, late and kind, say a word of advice to you, that little lady is our Tokyo forbidden army Ma Bujun commanded Luo Ke's enemy General Luo's good son, you can't afford to provoke others, or what should you do. ”

This Xiucai is not a bystander, it is the Xiucai Xiao Shuyou who moved here in desperation because he was affected by the fire in the mansion of Hou Li Yu, who burned his house to a jīng light, and moved here in desperation.

Luo Gongming was furious when he heard it, his youngest son was not small, and he had already passed the age of marriage, but when he kissed him, this bastard son insisted on not accepting it, and retreated to the second, to give him two concubines, he still didn't allow it, Lao Luo thought that this son was suddenly in power, and he was cautious and self-denying, and he was bent on his career, and he couldn't think of it...... Unexpectedly, he was infatuated with a woman who sold wine, and listening to this person, he was still married? Defeat the enemy...... How did my Luo family come up with such a disobedient son!

After Xiao Xiucai finished speaking, seeing that the old man was staring at him with a frown, he thought that he was frightened by his words, and it was better to be scared than to be beaten to death by a group of rough men, Xiao Xiucai consciously did a good deed, so he laughed and staggered upstairs.

Luo Gongming stood there angry and anxious, and immediately wanted to let the next person go to the wine shop to knock on the door and enter, and pulled the bastard son out, but seeing that the door was hidden, God knows what the son and the beautiful woman were doing inside, in case there was any indecent behavior, this intrusion, let the neighbors see, Lao Tzu caught his son's jian, father and son are both high-ranking and powerful officials in Tokyo, as soon as this matter spreads in Tokyo City, Lao Luo's face can be clean.

Lao Luo threw a mouse, blew his beard and stared at him for a while, sulked, then stomped his boots heavily, turned around and walked to his sedan chair. Lao Luo angrily boarded the sedan chair and sat down, bluffing the old family member who put down the sedan curtain with a face and commanded in a deep voice: "When the enemy comes back, tell him to come to see the old man immediately!" ”
