The Liao people arrived in the open space in front of the valley. Riding horses vertically and horizontally, there was a commotion, quite a preemptive effect, followed by the rear team of people and horses, and set up camp in front of the two ** teams of Song and Xia. Zhang Chongwei looked at it carefully for a moment, looked back and said to Yang Hao: "Holy Lord, although this army is the banner of the king of the Northern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, but looking at its camp, there is no regulation of the king of the Northern Courtyard, and it seems to be just a vanguard force. ”

Yang Jiye frowned and said, "What are the northerners doing here?" If it is a plot against the Song Kingdom, it is reasonable to deter Yanmen with the troops of Datong. ”

Yang Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and Lou said with a smile: "Look at this group of people and horses is at least about 5,000 people, the Liao people have sent so many people to settle here, it won't be to see the scenery, right?" Hehe, let him go, let's just hold on to the army and respond to all changes. ”

"Yes!"

Yang Hao turned around and left, walked a few steps, turned around and said: "Whether the Song people are intentional or unintentional, they will always have to fight with us a few more times, which is proportionate." You have to be able to handle it. ”

Yang Jiye, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in Hengshan, is one of the few people who knows that Yang Hao wants to establish the country first, then abdicate the throne and beg to surrender, accumulate strength to survive, and finally become the emperor again.

Yang Hao lazily glanced at the felt tents that were being quickly erected on the snowfield, and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's not Yelu Huge who is here, and I'm too lazy to make a face, let's go back." ”

"Holy." Yang Yanxun hurriedly caught up: "Shengshang, my Song and Xia two countries camp into a horn, the minister looks at the place where the Liao people camp, impartially, may not have good intentions towards us, if the Liao people provoke or make trouble, how should the minister respond?" ”

Yang Yanxun does not understand the highest intentions of the upper echelons, he is the general of Fengtai Valley, seeing that the Liao people camped occupied the third corner of the confrontation between the three peaks, and the position of its trenches and horses was not only aimed at the Song people, but also regarded the Xia army as an imaginary enemy, and suddenly felt that the Liao people were not good, and before Yang Hao was not called the emperor, not only had he attacked Yinzhou with the Liao people, but the first person to send an envoy to establish diplomatic relations after the establishment of the country was the Liao State, so how to master the reaction to various contingencies. He felt the need to find out first.

Yang Hao glanced at him with appreciation, he could think of this question and ask this question, this person was a qualified general. War is the continuation of politics, and a person who can only fight a war can only fight a war, at best, a sharp knife and a knife that can take advantage of his hand, and only a person who is willing to use his brains and think about the purpose of war service can become a qualified handsome.

It's rare, this young general who destroyed the bridge when he was diligent and almost died under his striker, has such a vision and careful mind at a young age, Yang Jiaerlang casually pulled out a person who is really a talent who stands alone, I really don't know that Lao Yang is preparing for war and training all night, and he is busy making people all night, how can he have so much time to teach such an outstanding descendant, it is estimated that this credit is ten out of ten "folding old lady", and when the son is older, it is better to let this Mrs. Yang help discipline and discipline, It's not that Yi Zi is taught. Raised in the deep palace since childhood, the wings can't be stiffened.

While thinking about it, Yang Hao patted Yang Yanxun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Remember, this mountain is your camp, and the west of the turbidity river under the mountain is the territory of my Xia Kingdom, and the offenders are treated equally whether they are Liao or Song!" If they pick quarrels and provoke trouble, don't put up with it, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! ”

Listening to these words, although Yang Yanxun is both civil and military, but after all, he is young and prosperous, and he was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly responded: "Minister, obey the order." ”

Yang Jiye said with some uneasiness: "Shengshang, when the minister was in the Han Kingdom, he knew the habits of the Liao people, the Liao people have always been arrogant, even if they went to the Han State to help, they were also arrogant, and they could not be a lifetime, if they occasionally picked quarrels and provoked trouble, but they may not have the intention to cause trouble, the dog is young and vigorous, the Holy Lord gave him this will, in case he really had a bad relationship with the Liao people......

Yang Hao glanced at him and asked, "How?" ”

Yang Jiye hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Although the Song people are driven back to the east of Hengshan now. However, with the strong strength of the Song State, it is not considered to hurt the vitality, yù curb the greed of the Song people, and the saint must also use the power of the Liao people, which is the so-called inchworm's bending, in order to seek faith; The sting of the dragon and snake to survive also. At this time, it is really not appropriate to have more trouble with the Liao people. ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly, walked over, and said in a rambling voice: "Borrowing the momentum, there are bright and dark borrowing, yīn borrowing Yang, straight borrowing, strong borrowing and soft borrowing...... some people belong to donkeys, leading and not leaving, fighting backwards, extraordinary people have to use extraordinary methods, don't be too polite to Yeluxiu donkey." ”

Yang Jiye stood there with a wry smile, Yang Yanxun frowned and thought about it very seriously, and then said to Yang Jiye: "Dad, what is the Holy Lord talking about?" ”

Yang Jiye sighed: "It's unpredictable, and my father doesn't understand." ”

Yang Yanxun sneered: "What is that dad laughing at." I thought my father understood. ”

Yang Jiye was slightly embarrassed: "The reason why my father laughed was because he found that the saint had suddenly added a problem recently. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Nickname ......"

**************************************************

Chengdu fell, Zhao Guangyi can't wait to ignore it, but who to send to Xichuan to quell the rebellion, this main general candidate is painstaking, the most desirable thing is naturally the Luo Ke enemy he raised with one hand, but since he felt that Pan Mei, Dang Jin, Cao Bin and other old ministers of the former dynasty seem to have the tendency to form a party, where do they dare to send Luo Kedi out.

He Jiyun, Li Jixun, Zhao Zan, Wang Quanbin ......, these are all famous generals, but unfortunately, these veterans have been like a race in the past two years. One by one, they all went to the West Heaven. Party progress? This old guy can fight, but ...... Pan Mei is now leading the troops outside, and then send him out with a large army for the party? Guanzhong is holding on to Bashu, and the third Zhao Guangmei is now in Chang'an Mansion, in case these old ministers ......, no, absolutely not!

Zhao Guangyi thought about it and thought that Cui Yanjin was not bad, but as soon as he came up with this idea, before he could get it to the Golden Palace, he was first vetoed by Song Qi, Cheng Yu and other henchmen, thinking that the first heroes of the army to enter Xichuan were Wang Quanbin and Cui Yanjin, these two people can not only fight, but also can be regarded as the most familiar with the mountains and rivers of Shu.

However, the reason why the people of Bashu are so hostile to the Song people and have rebelled repeatedly, the most direct reason is not because the taxes of Bashu are too high, you must know that those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were so much as early as when they were still in Shu, and after the Song State occupied Bashu, they just deliberately pretended to be confused, and did not cancel these harsh taxes that did not exist in other parts of the Song Kingdom.

After Wang Quanbin entered Shu, he burned and looted, and killed more than 10,000 prisoners, and since then he has formed a deep hatred with the Shu people, this is the direct response of the Shu people's repeated rebellions, and now Wang Quanbin is dead, Cui Yanjin is his deputy general back then, if Cui Yanjin is sent to Xichuan, it is not a disguised way to push the Shu people to the rebellious Tong Yu?

Zhao Guangyi thought about it for a while, and finally had to choose the general Hao Chongxin as the commander, Wang Zhengzhong as the vanguard, and ordered Cheng Yu to be the supervisor of the army, leading the forbidden army of 50,000, and holding moderation of soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Xichuan, and went to Xichuan without stopping.

The war in Xichuan was urgent, but it was not just as simple as using troops on both sides, what was the intention of the Liao State to suddenly increase its troops when the war in the Song and Xia Dynasty was in full swing. Zhao Guangyi was still a little unclear for a while, I am afraid that the battle of Hengshan would have to be shelved, but the Song State had just suffered a big defeat at the hands of the Xia State, if it died down, how to explain it to the world? It is inevitable that the neighboring countries will look down on them, and even if they bite the bullet, they will have to fight a dozen.

Cao Bin's attitude in the court caused Zhao Guangyi's jǐng Jue, it was a taboo to change generals before the battle, not to mention that now Pan Mei is leading the troops outside and has great power? Zhao Guangyi dispelled the original idea, issued an order to severely reprimand Wang Jien, dismissed his post as a supervisor of the army, and still returned to Hebei as an observer, and sent Song Qi to supervise the army.

In such a situation, how the situation in the northwest will progress can be imagined, no matter what, at least the two states of Linfu have fallen into Zhao Guangyi's pocket, and they have finally made quite a gain, if it were not for the loss of 60,000 troops in Black Snake Ridge and a heavy defeat, so far, this war is still very beautiful.

The northerners are fierce, far more difficult to defeat than the southerners, when Emperor Taizu personally conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Northern Han Dynasty, several broken cities, can let him return in vain, Zhao Guangyi asked himself this time to use troops in the northwest, or the merit is greater than the fault, now the concern is just how to end this war decently, if the strength of the country, he does not believe that a new barren Xia State, can afford to surpass his Great Song Dynasty.

***********************************************

The incense of Chongxiao Nunnery is very strong.

Chongxiao Nunnery is a very famous temple, plus it is located in the western suburbs, not the center of Bianliang is prosperous, so the temple is huge, covering a wide area, although this is a nunnery, the monks are not as good as the Daxiangguo Temple that is very famous male xìng monks are numerous, but Bianliang has a population of one million, the base is huge, so there are many monks and lay disciples in this most famous nunnery.

There are more than 150 nuns and lay disciples who hold the precepts and practice here, since the princess Yongqing became a monk here, the imperial court has made great efforts to repair the clamshell, rebuild the temple, and then shape the golden body, the incense here is more vigorous, and the number of nuns who come here to shave and practice is also increasing, and now the number has more than 280 people.

At this moment, there is a great benefactor of Chongxiao Nunnery who has come to incense again.

The sound of firecrackers outside the nunnery, the atmosphere of the New Year is still very strong, in the nunnery, the owner of the nunnery is like a master, that is, Princess Yongqing personally received the old couple who came to the incense. This old couple is Gao Yuanwai and Mrs. Gao, both husband and wife are Buddhist believers, no matter where they go, a string of red sandalwood prayer beads in the hands of the old couple is always indispensable, Pingsuri repairs bridges and roads, and helps the township, is a well-known good person.

Gao Yuanwai couple was originally the protector of the Great Xiangguo Temple, since the princess to Chongxiao Nunnery, that is the golden branch and jade leaves, this identity can be more appealing than the Buddha sparkling, since then the old couple will be this Chongxiao Nunnery as a Buddhist holy place to worship the Buddha, every time back, the old couple shot is a thousand sesame oil money, so bold believers are naturally the most favored figures of Buddhist disciples, even if Yongqing is the princess identity, now become the owner of Chongxiao Nunnery, Gao Yuanwai couple to the Nunnery contribution is so great, That's also a lot of courtesy.

At this moment, Mrs. Dingru was in the abbot's meditation room, personally meeting and entertaining the old couple. Yongqing had only one palace maid by her side, Lin Er, who had been waiting for her to eat and drink when she was in the palace, and she was also sent out at this moment. When Yongqing first arrived at Chongxiao Nunnery, Zhao Guangyi also asked the Imperial City Division to secretly pay attention to the movements of Chongxiao Nunnery, but the real reason was that the Imperial City Division naturally did not know, they only said that the official family cared about the safety of the emperor's niece and did not dare not pay attention to this order.

However, they could only send some people to move around the Chongxiao Nunnery, paying attention to the movements of pilgrims coming and going in the Nunnery, and could not go further and accurately grasp Yongqing's every move. In the past two or three years, nothing special has happened in Chongxiao Nunnery, Yongqing is a daughter's family, Zhao Guangyi has limited fear of her, so he has also relaxed the control, and now the Imperial City Division has rarely sent people to occupy near Chongxiao Nunnery.

Yongqing is dressed in a silk robe, the autumn water is clear, quite a bit of Buddhism has the style of a master, the senior couple is a pair of kind old people, graceful, and Yan Yue sè, but also a pair of vegetarian monks for many years, such a person meets in Buddhism, what he said should be the doctrine of the scriptures, but if someone hears the conversation of the three of them now, they will be surprised.

"Outside of the senior staff, I am now willing to accept your help."

The white-haired high-ranking man was happy to say: "The princess agreed?" That's good, that's good, the grass people will ...... right away"

"Wait, I want you to promise to do something for me."

The god who was outside the high-ranking man calmed down suddenly, and what the princess wanted him to help do, how could it be easy to do? The senior member didn't dare to agree, but asked, "I don't know what the princess entrusts?" ”

Yongqing said slowly: "My brother Defang has reached the age of sixteen, I want you to mobilize your strength, create a momentum, and force the official family to become king." ”

The senior officer said in surprise: "Feng Wang? Since the princess has agreed to the arrangement of the grass people, why should she care about a prince who has been crowned today? This ......"

"You don't have to worry about what this palace is trying to do. That's my only condition, and as long as you do it, I'll do what you say. ”

Gao Yuanwai and his wife glanced at each other, twisted their beards one by one and groaned, Yongqing's bright eyes glanced at him slightly, picked up the tea and took a sip slowly, calm and relaxed, calm.

Gao Yuanwai's face was uncertain, and he nodded heavily for a long time and said, "Okay, the grass people agreed." But...... Whether to be crowned king or not is decided now, and the grass people dare not guarantee ......"

Yongqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "Don't worry, that person's biggest wish in life is to be Li Shimin's second, not only to Li Shimin in cultural and martial arts, but also to hope that he can also be like Li Shimin, so that future generations will only remember his goodness, not his mistakes." If you really have such great power, as you yourself say, then as long as you mobilize the gentry and the ministers to create a momentum, even if he is unwilling in his heart, he will have to take care of this reputation. ”

"Good!" Gao Yuanwai shrugged his eyebrows and said, "We will do our best, and I hope everything is as the princess expected." ”

Yongqing stood under the porch, looked at the direction of the departure of the Gao Yuanwai couple with his hands together, and looked at a woman who was sweeping the snow in the courtyard, she was wearing a gray robe, but a lock of hair faintly came out of the back of her neck under the monk's hat, showing her identity: this is a lay disciple who has taken refuge in the Three Jewels, but has not yet taken the vows.

Yongqing stared at her quietly for a while, and then called, "Ding Yu, remove the tea from the poor nun's meditation room." ”

The handsome woman who was buried in the snow raised her head when she heard the sound, smiled at her, gently put down the broom, and walked lightly on the snow......
