Chapter 4 Xia Liaolian, Di Qing went to Zhending
Anfu is located in the west of Luoshui, and the flowing Luoshui not only supplies the needs of the people of Yan'an, but also irrigates thousands of hectares of fertile land on both sides of the river, which is a well-deserved mother river for the people of Yan'an.

Zhao Lei took the bank of the Maluo River, although it was a sunny afternoon, looking up, the sky was dusk, like a twilight scenery.
Xiao Ruoruo followed behind Zhao Lei in a heroic posture, and the Hebei Haojie who followed Han Qi back to Yan'an Mansion was seconded by Zhao Lei to be responsible for Zhao Lei's safety in Yan'an Mansion, and among the many guards, the sad Su Xun was looking at Luoshui in confusion.
"The water level in Luoshui has dropped a lot, and it seems that the rumors are true, and a big drought is coming." Zhao Lei stopped on the wide bank of Luoshui, dismounted and looked at the river, frowned and said to Su Xun behind him.
"After the spring light rain, there has been no rain for almost two months, now the loess over Yan'an Mansion is flying, covering the sky and the sun, the grain seedlings just sown in the spring in the field are dry and dying, only the fields near the canal are better, now Yan'an Mansion has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, all relying on the support of Guanzhong, I heard that the drought in Guanzhong is also beginning to take shape, if the real drought comes, the impact is very wide!" Su Xun looked at the river of Luoshui and said to Zhao Lei with a worried expression.
"Why is Brother Ming Yun so anxious, the drought should be the responsibility of Lord Fan, and Lord Fan is not in a hurry!" Today, Zhao Lei traveled with his own people, Xiao Ruoruo changed his low-key style in the past, and said to Su Xun with a giggle.
"Fan Zhongyan is not in a hurry, he is more anxious than me, he has already reported the omen of the drought on Yongxing Military Road, but even if he reports it, what can he do, the court can't care about the rain all day! If the Yongxing military road is really in drought, the imperial court will inevitably mobilize grain from other prefectures, not to mention the loss of money and labor. I'm afraid there will be other serious consequences! Su Xun shook his head and said bitterly.
"Other serious consequences?" Zhao Lei looked at Su Xun in confusion and asked.
"There are some things that can only be understood, not spoken, and adults will know when the time comes." Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei and whispered with a strange look in his eyes.
This Su Mingyun, what the hell! Zhao Lei touched the short beard that had grown on the ground, and thought in his heart.
"If there is a drought on the Yongxing Military Road, how can the imperial court fight the drought?" Zhao Lei has not seen the scene of the great drought, and he has no experience in dealing with the drought, and after thinking of the drought, he immediately forgot what happened just now and asked Su Xun carefully.
"Disaster relief with food! If there is a drought on the Yongxing Military Road, except for the three major rivers of Weishui, Luoshui and the Yellow River, other small rivers will be cut off. The victims of the disaster either begged for food, or gathered in the cities along the three rivers, and the imperial court would provide disaster relief in the cities along the three rivers when the time came. Su Xun shook the loess on his body and said to Zhao Lei helplessly.
"It's hard to come out, let's save these things and talk about them later! Anyway, it's still far from the big drought! Let's go upstream along the river, shall we? Xiao Ruoruo finally went out with a group of his own people, and didn't want Zhao Lei to continue to talk about political affairs, so he shook Zhao Lei's arm and said coquettishly.
Zhao Lei only remembered at this time. Today, I accompanied Xiao Ruoruo on an outing, not specifically to see the dry land. Thinking of this, Zhao Lei put aside the political affairs in his mind, talked and laughed, and walked towards the upper reaches of Luoshui.
………………………………
At dusk, Zhao Lei and his entourage returned to Yan'an Mansion, and as soon as they came to the city gate, they met a few military colonels who were anxiously waiting at the city gate.
"Lord Zhao, an angel has come to the imperial court, and he is waiting in the barracks, and I am waiting here for my life, and I hope that my lord will return to the camp soon." When the little school saw Zhao Lei and his party coming, he stopped Lu Lu and said loudly.
Did the official family send an envoy to Yan'an Mansion? Zhao Lei heard the words of the little colonel. I was stunned for a moment, and began to figure out the envoy's intention to come to Yan'an Mansion.
"Ruoruo, you go back first, Brother Mingyun and I will go to the barracks to meet the angels." Zhao Lei pondered for a while, and he already had ideas in his heart. whispered to Xiao Ruoruo.
After Xiao Ruoruo left with a few guards, Zhao Lei and Su Xun also rode towards the military camp.
"Brother Xifan, where are the angels?" Zhao Lei returned to the camp commander's tent. But he only saw Ou Xifan and Pang Bai looking at the sand table there, and the so-called angel didn't see it at all, and the puzzled Zhao Lei asked Ou Xifan puzzled.
"Let's go, the angel just passed by Yan'an Mansion, handed over the official document of the imperial court to the Lord and Lord Fan Zhongyan, the final goal is on Hebei West Road, and the envoy of Liao State is still waiting for the angel to greet him in Zhending Mansion!" Pombo saw that Zhao Lei had returned, left the sand table and turned his head to Zhao Lei.
"Liao envoy? What's going on, why hasn't there been any news from Bianjing lately? Zhao Lei's eyes changed, and he was very dissatisfied with the recent inconvenience of communication.
"No way, the trained carrier pigeons are folded in the hands of the Xixia carver, now it is all dependent on manpower to send the letter, the degree is too slow, the new batch of carrier pigeons will take time to use, wait first! As for the envoy of Liao, ......" Pang Bai told Zhao Lei about the news from Bianjing.
"Western Xia and Liao have united, is there any conclusive evidence?" Before Zhao Lei could speak, Su Xun asked in shock.
"Do you still need proof for this kind of thing! King Pu'an is in charge of the Great Song Dynasty's secret guard, and he has already determined the contact between Western Xia and Liao, and the Xia-Liao alliance is by no means empty
―
Zhao Lei did not participate in the discussion between the three of them, walked straight to the big chair in the tent, beckoned the soldiers to send a few cups of tea, and then began to consider the consequences of the Xialiao alliance.
Western Xia Yuan Hao united with Liao, in Zhao Lei's view, is expected, after all, the nominal prince of Western Xia is the son of the princess of Liao, Yuan Hao and Liao at this time The relationship between Yuan Hao and Liao is in the honeymoon period, it is estimated that this relationship will be maintained until Yuan Hao kills the princess of Liao and his own son, so when Zhao Lei saw Yuan Hao retreating to Xiping Mansion and standing still, he had already guessed his intention to unite Liao, but it was just a guess, and now this guess can finally be confirmed.
There are many advantages to the union of Western Xia with Liao, the biggest of which is that the defeated Yuan Hao can put pressure on the Great Song Dynasty and force the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate, as for what Yuan Hao will pay, Zhao Lei does not want to understand.
"Why did the Liao State unite with the Western Xia, don't forget that Yuan Hao is now the emperor, and he is on an equal footing with Yelu Zongzhen, can Yelu Zong really tolerate the former courtiers becoming the current emperor." Ou Xifan was very puzzled about the union of the Liao State and the Western Xia, and asked Zhao Lei and the others with a very stunned expression.
"Brother Xi Fan, do you think that Yuan Hao, the emperor, can still sit down! After Yuan Hao was defeated by the general twice in a row, he lost 200,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are less than 300,000 elite soldiers in Western Xia, and he still has to guard against the enemy countries in all directions. Su Xun smiled indifferently at this time and replied to Ou Xifan.
"I really don't understand, why everyone goes to grab that position, Yuan Hao is called the king's side, no different from the emperor, he has to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and as a result, the Song Xia soldiers and horses have lost a lot, so that the Liao State can watch the joke on the side, and in the end, he will only be down for a few days, what is the picture!" Pomber said with a round face and a wild sigh.
"The power is great, the ambition is also great, Deming has been a minister to Song for a lifetime, lying on the salary to taste the courage, painstakingly accumulating strength, this power has allowed Yuan Hao to expand the land for thousands of miles in just a few years, and Yuan Hao is not better than Deming, how can he be willing to live under the people, with the current national strength of Western Xia, it is a matter of time before he is called the emperor." Su Xun also sighed at this time, when Deming was alive and was Song Chen, and said.
After listening carefully to the discussion of the three staff, Zhao Lei suddenly thought that the official document of the imperial court had not had time to read it, so he turned his head to Ou Xifan and said: "By the way, isn't the imperial court issuing an official document!" Over there? ”
"On the case, the lord is now majestic, the battle of Fengzhou official road, 30,000 against 100,000 made the Western Xia return in vain, lost more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and one day Ke Liuli, defeated Zhang Wei's army of 20,000, and now the Great Song Dynasty knows the general Huwei, no, the Liao State gathered 200,000 troops in Datong Mansion, and the imperial court came to the official document to ask for the adult's opinion!" Ou Xifan smiled and complimented Zhao Lei and said.
Zhao Lei got up and picked up the official document on the case, ignored Ou Xifan's sycophants, opened the official document and read it carefully, and smiled slightly after reading it.
"My lord! What's next to the court? Su Xun saw Zhao Lei's smile and asked strangely.
"The official family has been given the excerpt we played, and our ideas have been discussed with the important ministers of the imperial court, and the victory of Fengzhou is placed there, and the imperial court has finally passed our proposal, and the Ministry of Industry will send craftsmen to make grenades, mines and rocket vehicles with all their might, and we have trained soldiers on the Yongxing Military Road to throw bombs, bury mines, dig trenches and other methods, which will be implemented to all roads of the country in the future, starting from this year, the combat mode of the Great Song Dynasty will be greatly changed, and the war will no longer be fought by people, but by science and technology, money and logistics." Zhao Lei continued to smile.
Good boy! The full implementation of grenades, mines and rocket vehicles is a big deal! You must know that the cost of a grenade and a mine is about ten taels, and the rocket car is at least a thousand taels, and the rocket is cheap, but the consumption is too fast, if the Great Song Dynasty fully implements these three weapons, at least millions of grenades, mines and tens of thousands of rocket cars will be produced, such an expensive thing, how much silver will the imperial court cost! No wonder adults say that in the future, the war will be fought for money! Su Xun, Ou Xifan, and Pang Bai thought with shocked expressions.
"The imperial court also ordered me to send a group of soldiers who participated in the Battle of Fengzhou to Bianjing to train them in their ability to drop bombs, lay mines, and operate rocket vehicles; In addition, let me choose a general who participated in the Battle of Fengzhou to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses with 50,000 grenades, 50,000 mines, 200 rocket vehicles, and 500,000 rockets to reinforce Zhendingfu against the Liao army holding Datong. Zhao Lei pondered for a while, said the request of the imperial court, and asked for the opinions of the three of them.
"Yang Wenguang, Di Qing!" Su Xun, Ou Xifan and Pang Bai heard Zhao Lei's inquiry and replied in unison.
Seeing Su Xun, Ou Xifan and Pang Bai smiling at each other, Zhao Lei also nodded with satisfaction, in his opinion, Yang Wenguang and Di Qing are indeed the most suitable candidates, Yang Wenguang was born in Jiangmen, has lived in Bianjing for a long time, and has an outstanding record, which is enough to deter the arrogant hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, and Di Qing was born as a sinner, brave and good at fighting, and it is most appropriate to go to Zhending Mansion to resist the Liao soldiers.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lei made up his mind to let Yang Wenguang and Di Qing leave Yongxing Military Road with their left and right arms and go to a better environmental exhibition!
