The wind was blowing and the clouds were flying.

Yang Hao coerced the sharp division of the Western Expedition. The news of calmly returning to Xiazhou spread, and the morale of the Hengshan front line was suddenly greatly boosted, followed by the injection of 40,000 sharp troops, which made the impermeable Hengshan defensive front under the construction of Yang Jiye even more solid. Under this encouragement, the defenders of Hengshan took the initiative to attack and dealt a heavy blow to the soldiers and horses of the Song State.

Knowing that Yang Hao had rushed back to Xiazhou and increased his troops in Hengshan, Pan Mei and Wang Jien also temporarily stopped internal friction and unanimously launched a series of attacks on Hengshan, first stopping a series of attacks on Hengshan, and then using the territory they had occupied to build forts and forts, build beacons, and began to fight steadily and steadily, and began to prepare for a protracted war. Yang Hao's side also relied on the danger to strengthen the fortifications, and the fierce battle between the two sides came to an end temporarily, and both entered the period of rest and preparation.

Yang Hao rushed to Hengshan and immediately summoned Yang Jiye and other henchmen to secretly plan three rì. Immediately, Yang Jiye issued a series of orders: the soldiers who had been tired of the battle for a long time were withdrawn to the second line for rest, the new army was transferred to the first line, the wounded soldiers and remnants were transported back to Xiazhou to recuperate, and the grain and grass were continuously sent to Hengshan, and they were stationed in Beijing in several important military fortresses. At the same time, the Xiazhou army was ordered to build a fortress high, dig deep trenches, and build another layer of barracks and fortresses outside it, sandwiched with grass, trees and mud in the middle, making it extremely heavy, looking like that, not only making the fortress extremely strong, but also having the function of keeping out the cold in winter, and people with some eyesight can see that this battle is probably not good.

At the same time, the military letters and official letters are also more and more endless, within a rì, the flying eagle carrier pigeon rises and falls innumerable, and the red flag messenger is even more non-stop, although the Tai Lieutenant is now in Hengshan, all kinds of military information documents should be sent here, but such a dense report, such frequent news, still makes people feel that the marshal is bound to make a big move.

However, there are no more than 30 people in the entire Hexi who really know that Yang Hao is the emperor, and there are only six people who know that he is ready to fail to claim the title of emperor for the first time, except for Yang Hao himself: Chongfang, Ding Chengzong, Zheziyu, Yang Jiye, Zhang Pu and Luo Dong'er.

When the desert is poor and the grass is declining, the autumn wind is cold, and Huma is fat. On the grassland, the herdsman tribe is hurrying to accumulate autumn grass to survive the cold winter. With Lingzhou as the center, a large area of fertile land cultivated by relying on Helan Mountain and the Yellow River has also entered the harvest period. An acre of grassland can afford to raise a horse at most, but the grain produced by an acre of land is between one stone and two stones, which is enough to ensure the use of a family of five for a winter.

Yang Hao not only provided excellent grain seeds for farmers who were willing to cultivate, and hired experienced croppers from the Central Plains with high salaries, but also in order to encourage planting, the grain endowment was not only low, but also had quite detailed preferential policies for cultivating wasteland.

The tense atmosphere on the Yokoyama front did not seem to affect the lives of the people in the rear at all. Fighting, for the people of this place, they have seen too much, even ordinary people, the nerves are extremely tenacious, in such a treacherous environment, they are stronger than the people elsewhere, and more optimistic. A little hope can also bring them joy and satisfaction.

Yang Hao's ruling apparatus that had begun to take shape was already in full swing, and it began to operate in full swing in the military, political, economic, cultural, and propaganda fields, and made all kinds of strategic preparations for Yang Hao to become emperor and for the natural and human enemies of Hexi Prefectures to survive this winter.

Autumn is really getting stronger and stronger, at the foot of the mountain, the weeds have been withered yellow, the green shade of the tall trees is gone, a gust of wind comes, the fallen leaves fall with the wind, the branches seem to be trembling, on the endless plain, although the sun is shining, but there is a little less warmth, the heaven and the earth are slaughtered, and it seems to be infected with the infinite murderous spirit of the two armies relying on Hengshan to defend the danger.

"Gotta get it", a crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded in the valley, and several birds and sparrows that were looking for grass seeds in the dry grass and wild valley flew up, spread their wings and flew up to the branches, picking feathers with their beaks, looking forward to the trees, patiently waiting for the mountain pedestrians to pass by, but the two people and two horses stood under the trees.

An arrow away, Mu Yu led Yang Hao's cronies and guards to stop and scan the left and right smartly, and under the big tree, Yang Hao had already restrained his mount and stood there side by side with Zhe Ziyu.

"Ziyu, Zhao Jiong folds the family. must be put under the strictest guard, you go to Bianliang alone, not to mention your personal safety, if you want to save them, it will be useless, do you really want to go? ”

Excerpt Ziyu nodded lightly: "They are my relatives, I have never been to see them since the accident, how can you tell me to rest assured?" I can't feel at ease if I don't see them in person. Originally, I had the responsibility of the Folding Family Army and the responsibility of Fuzhou, even if I dreamed of them every day and worried about them, I couldn't leave, but now, ...... Finally relaxed, I can go and see them. You are about to call the emperor, I leave a few days early, and the road will be easier. ”

She glanced at Yang Hao again, and the coldness in her eyes gradually turned into a wisp of tenderness: "No matter what, thank you, I can only trust you with this responsibility, and only you are willing to do it for me." Poplar...... Brother Hao. Count me as ...... you owe"

Yang Hao suddenly reached out and grabbed the reins of her horse, frowned, and said, "Why did you say it so politely, the more I listened, the more uneasy I became, could it ...... You're planning never to come back. ”

"I don't know......" Excerpt Ziyu's eyes were a little dazed: "Really, I don't know." I can't leave my loved ones behind, but I know I can't save them, I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to live in the future. Take a step...... Let's take a look......"

"Ziyu, I know that you still have some latent forces in Bianliang, and there are still some absolutely loyal and reliable people in 'Suifeng' who are ordered by you, but you have great ability. It is impossible to save all your family members, and if you save one or two, I am afraid that you will harm everyone else, so don't be emotional. ”

Excerpt Ziyu smiled reluctantly: "I understand, I will never do anything to hurt my family, I will be careful in everything." ”

"You don't understand!"

Yang Hao's tone aggravated: "Do you think that I only accepted your soldiers and horses, promised to give you a, and then put your family aside with peace of mind?" To me Yang Hao, you are already disheartened, are you? I'm telling you, I've never had such a plan, it's just that there are some things, and I don't want to make a fuss about it, I don't want to make a fool of it until I plan something. I'm already thinking of a way to get your family out. ”

Zhen Ziyu smiled bitterly: "Impossible, unless you can hit Bianliang and take away his Zhao family, can you?" You can't beat it, even if you can, you don't have the idea of standing on behalf of the Song Dynasty, never, your biggest ambition now is just to occupy the borderless land of Longyou, Hexi, and create another world, right? ”

Yang Hao said in surprise: "How do you know? ”

Excerpt Ziyu sighed and said, "Why don't I know? Your personality is xìng, xìng temper, why don't I understand? At this point, you have been forced to be helpless, and you will never be willing to engage troops with the Song State in a big way, so that the entire Central Plains will fall into war again. The Khitan in the north is looking at it, Zhao Guangyi is afraid of it, and you ...... Although you have secret correspondence with the Khitan and have a deep friendship, you are also guarding against it, and your suspicion of it is far greater than that of the Song Kingdom, which has been persecuting you and harming you, you can't see it?

When you discuss with us the great things of the world. only said that he wanted to occupy the Longyou occupied by the Tubo people, but had any plans to seek Guanzhong and Xishu again? No! Get Long and look at Shu, get Longyou, the key to open the pass is in your hands, not to mention that you still have Xiaoliu and Tie Niu two volts in Shu, once Longyou is in hand, Guanzhong and Shu can be easily taken, according to this and look east, what can not be done?

However, the several incidents you used the prestige of Li Yu's father and son to provoke in Jiangnan died down after a slight blow, and if you have a heart for the Central Plains, you can do better. There is also the Shu Rebel Army, their role has always been just to pull the hind legs of the Song State and reduce the pressure on your Hexi, you never thought of building it into a usable army, going straight to the heart of the Song State, and planning for you to be the vanguard of the world. Although you are blessed, you are easily satisfied, and you have never had any ambitions. ”

Yang Hao looked at her, in the cold autumn wind, his eyes were full of warmth: "Those who know me, Ziyu also." There are some things that you won't believe when I say them, and the reason why I am like this is not because I have no ambitions, but because I ......"

"Huh?"

Yang Hao smiled happily, looked up at the sky, let out a breath of turbidity, decided to put aside this topic, and said instead: "Ziyu, I really thought about how to rescue your family, I plan to ...... If there is really no skill to be done, then when you go to the emperor and call the king to rest the army, use the jade seal as a proxy to exchange it for your family. Therefore, I can understand the feeling that you are going to Bianliang to spy on your relatives, but don't do anything to startle the snake, but harm them. ”

Zhen Ziyu opened his eyes in surprise and said in a lost voice: "What did you say?" That...... That's a legend, a country, a jade, and a seal! ”

Yang Hao said lightly: "In my eyes, it's just a stone, you also said that I have no intention of the Central Plains, what do you want it to do?" In my eyes, how can it be as good as the whole family of the righteous brother. ”

"You're really crazy, hand over the jade seal and exchange it for my family. He, Zhao Guangyi, is not worried that my brother will expose the truth about his military dispatch to Fuzhou? Now that you have surrendered, it is clear that you will not hold on for a long time, and he will not send more troops to destroy you in one fell swoop? ”

Yang Hao smiled and said: "I think you are the one who cares, and the wisdom of Xiang Rì is gone." If I don't drag him until Jīng is exhausted, how can I send him to the steps to go to the emperor's number? Does he still have the strength to continue sending troops? Isn't he afraid that I will give this heirloom jade seal to the Great Liao Emperor in order to form an alliance with him? Hehe, don't worry, I won't exchange it until I have to, and if I exchange it, I will also consider it holistically and consider all kinds of consequences. ”

Zhen Ziyu stared at him quietly, his eyes gradually rippled with deep emotion, and he said softly: "Brother Hao, what if...... You can really save my family from it, and I will no longer be angry with you in this life, and I will be a slave and a slave, and I will obey your call. Your Mrs. Tang...... No matter how much you laugh at me and get angry with me, I don't care......"

Yang Hao muttered, "Do I lack slaves and maids?" That's the heirloom jade seal, used to exchange for a slave, it's really a loss. ”

Excerpt Ziyu was impulsive, and the affection in his heart had been fully revealed, which girl was embarrassed to promise herself for life, what is a slave and a maid, the implication has been said very clearly, but he is still complaining there, and I don't know if he is really stupid or fake.

Excerpt Yu Yu 殚 jīng exhausted, already haggard, too lazy to think about it anymore, in front of Yang Hao she was even more confused, at this time when she heard him complain, she didn't have time to think about it, so she said angrily: "Do you lack a wife?" ”

Yang Hao showed a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "There is only one heirloom jade seal between heaven and earth, but there is only one excerpt of Ziyu, so you are the same as the heirloom jade seal, you are unique in this world." I Yang Hao has no ambitions, in my heart, the warm fragrance and warm jade are far better than the cold and cold stones. Ziyu, I never thought of being a loner, I never thought that in my heart, every family member is more important than that position, just like you are to your family, so ...... I don't stop you. So...... I'm willing to do all this for you......"

"I ......"

Zhen Ziyu wanted to say something more, but he only felt that his nose was sour and he wanted to cry. She sniffed, suppressed the tears, and said, "I'm going!" ”

Yang Hao let go of her horse's reins and said, "Okay, I'll let you go!" Remember, take care of yourself, take care of your family, and come back early. Because, you are mine! Your family, I'll take care of it! ”

Zhe Ziyu glanced at him deeply, and suddenly hit his horse and galloped away. She didn't dare to say anything anymore, yes, Yang Hao was sometimes indecisive and sometimes gentle and cowardly, but when he really decided something, he could often do what others couldn't. In this world, is there a second man who is willing to make the emperor of the Central Plains an opponent for her? Is there a second person in this matter who values her more than the heirloom jade seal that represents 'divine power and legitimacy'?

A stone? That stone is the important weapon of the country, and if you get it, it symbolizes "being ordered by heaven", and if you lose it, it means that "the qi is exhausted". How could Yang Hao not understand its great significance? Sooner or later, he will ascend to the throne, how can he not understand its important role? 'Is my excerpt unique?' If Yang Hao wants, Wu Wayue is more beautiful, Zheng Wan and Qin Yan, beautiful people in the east and west, exotic beauties, even if it is the flame and doll in Yang Hao's mansion now, the amorous posture is not inferior to her, and even the original queen of the Tang Kingdom, the current Xiuzhen female crown, the beauty is three points better than her.

However, in Yang Hao's heart, she is unique!

Yes, he said little, but as soon as he said it, he was better than many vows. Yes, he did little, but as soon as he did it, he did something earth-shattering. How many grievances and grievances have been thrown out of the clouds at this time. She didn't dare not go, and if she didn't go, she might fall into his arms and never be willing to go.

She's gone. When he didn't leave, a heart was already tied to Bianliang. Now that he is gone, a heart is firmly tied to Yang Hao.

"This hurts people!"

Zhen Ziyu pulled out a whip fiercely, and called out sweet, sour, pitiful and happy in his heart.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yang Hao sat straight on the horse, until the figure of Zhe Ziyu flashed over the mountain road, then raised the horsewhip in his hand, and two horses immediately galloped behind him. The people on the horse looked like a father and son, the older thirty-five or sixteen, with the ochre face of a small merchant in the northwest, a thin body, and a sharp skill. The other, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, had clear eyebrows and wore a broad-brimmed felt hat on his head.

"What I want you to do, I have to add one more now."

Yang Hao sighed, turned around and said, "Although Ziyu is smart and clever, she is also in her team in Bianliang, and she knows how important things to do. But...... In the tiger's den in Longtan, after all, it is dangerous everywhere. Although the secret spy of the Imperial City Division of the Song Kingdom is not a big deal, after all, she is a local snake, you should take care of her as much as possible while doing your own thing. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll take care of Sister Ziyu."

The boy patted his small chest, but blurted out a crisp and pleasant female voice.

The middle-aged man on the side twisted his eyebrows and reprimanded: "Didn't I say that once you change your outfit, no matter who is before or after, at any time, you must not use your voice, you must form a habit?" ”

The young man spit out his little tongue mischievously, and although he had no fear, he obediently changed his words, and responded in a young man's voice: "The dog knows his mistake, and he won't be next time." ”

Yang Hao smiled and said softly to the menacing middle-aged man: "Zhu Yun, since you returned last time you were dying, I don't want you to let you wander in the sea of swords and fires anymore, but I really can't find someone else who can do this big thing, and I have to ask you to take a trip." ”

The yellow-faced man said in a manly voice: "Taiwei is too polite, Zhuyun has nothing else to do, only this height comes and goes, and the ability to hide and change appearance, thanks to Taiwei's high opinion, this go, Zhuyun will definitely complete the important task assigned by Taiwei." ”

"Good!" Yang Hao nodded: "You guys hurry up and get on the road, don't lose her along the way." When you get to Bianliang, you will lurk, and I will give you a full year, and many things can be paved in advance to complete this earth-shattering act. When this happens, you will stay in Xiazhou, and with your accumulated achievements, you will be able to take charge of the spy hospital, and you will never have to carry out such a dangerous mission in person in the future. ”

"Taiwei, the past and the past, there is a world of difference, Zhuyun is already satisfied, no matter how much he does for Taiwei, his subordinates will ......"

Yang Hao said: "Zhu Yun, you are not just a subordinate in my heart." ”

"Huh?" The man's voice trembled slightly, and a clear flush crept up his ochre-yellow cheeks, and he stammered, "I...... I ......"

Yang Hao didn't pay attention at all, he looked at the direction of Bianliang from afar, and sighed: "Yuluo is now in Bianliang, alas, my eldest sister has long passed the age of marriage, but because of me, although I can see each other now, it is difficult to become a lover." Zhu Yun, in my heart, you are not only my subordinate, in fact, I also treat you as my own sister, I have delayed a sister, but I don't want to delay the second one, not to mention...... Gu Bo is also very anxious, when this mission is over, you settle down, and it is time to think about your life's events. ”

"Ah......, oh......, bamboo rhyme...... Zhu Yun knew, and Mrs. Lao bothered to ......"

Zhu Yun was originally like a deer colliding with each other, but at this time she was disappointed, but she was disappointed, and replied casually, and unconsciously restored the girl's voice, and her tone was not without resentment.

The dog on the side didn't know the taste of sorrow, but he laughed and clapped his hands: "Sister Zhuyun said the wrong thing, hahaha, you also used your original voice." ”

Zhu Yun glared at her, raised his hand and whipped it on the dog's horse, the dog barked and sat upright, and the horse was like an arrow from the string, galloping away. Zhu Yun hugged his fist at Yang Hao, and said heroically: "Captain, my subordinates say goodbye!" After that, he whipped his backhand and shouted: "Drive!" So he went after the dogs.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the apse of Luzhou Kaibao Temple, a yellow-clothed monk is practicing martial arts in the hall, this set of palm techniques is unfolded by him, it is really a burst of thunder, and the wind is emptied. He tucked the monk's robe in his belt, shouted and shouted, like thunder, a pair of iron palms will open, it is really incomparable, mighty and inadequate.

There are many circular pits on the ground in the hall, and there are wooden stakes more than half a person high in them, the stakes are the thickness of the calves of young people, and the wood used is strong and heavy pear wood, even if it is split with a sharp axe, it is not broken by three axes and two axes, but the young yellow-clothed monk splits it with one palm, and the stake is broken in response, and the sawdust flies all over the sky, and its palm is fast, and there is no trace of delay.

The two red-clothed lamas stood next to the thick pillar in a corner of the hall outside the hall, quietly looking at the yellow-clothed lama monk in the hall who was frantically hitting everything and destroying everything, and saw the yellow-clothed monk turn around, flash to the corner of the hall like a violent wind, exhale, push with both palms, and slam on a half-foot-thick stone tablet standing there.

Such a heavy stone stele, but if it can be broken with a pair of fleshy palms, the palm power is already very amazing, but after the yellow-clothed monk hit the stele with one palm, the stele did not move, and when the yellow-clothed monk slowly drew his palm, stood up and pressed down the dantian, an amazing scene appeared, and the stele that was not moving suddenly collapsed, turned into pieces of gravel, and fell on the spot.

Outside the hall, a white-eyed old monk couldn't help but "silk" inhaled a cold breath, looking so strong with a palm, and hit the same to the hard bluestone stele, all the palm power was completely absorbed by this stele, without a trace of shaking, this is not just a speed can be done, the young monks in this hall have clearly practiced this palm to the anode yīn soft, rigid polarization and softness of the highest realm.

"A martial idiot is a martial idiot, at such an age, after just a few years of practicing this secret technique, it is ...... I have practiced to such a level. The white-eyed monk sighed, but he saved something, frowned, and said: "Mudra, just practicing the Buddha's external mind, guiding wisdom, and understanding the teachings of righteousness, and he ...... It seems that there is a bit of a sacrifice to the end, such a heavy anger, how to practice the Buddha's heart? ”

The Living Buddha Dacuo smiled slightly, turned around, and said: "Zongba Dashuai, the doctrine of righteousness can also be from the outside in, in my opinion, he has a great Buddha." ”

In the hall, Bisu stood in place, looking at the stone tablet that was shattered, and looked at his own pair of fleshy palms that gradually became normal from red and thick, in the past few years, he has been living in hatred, only the crazy practice, in order to slightly suppress the killing intent in his heart, now, the most difficult to practice the big mudra has also been practiced by him, he doesn't know what else can be done next to suppress the accumulation of time in his heart, more and more serious heart barriers.

"With my current fierce fists and feet, and my ability to stealth and hide, can't I sneak into the palace and kill my great enemy? Do you have to be on the battlefield to have a chance? With just one martial arts, have I become a general? ”

His eyes narrowed slightly: "Captain, I can't wait, I'm ...... now." Just go to Bianliang! ”
