Seeing Xi looked at the embarrassed smile of the two, but the messenger from Taiyuan repeatedly told him that he must hand over the letter to the prince immediately after receiving the letter, so he rushed in, but he didn't expect to break the prince's 'good deeds', and now he can only act as if he didn't see anything.

"Don't miss the opportunity, never lose it again!" Zhao Xin picked up the lantern and held it high, saw Xi tear open the seal, leaned under the lantern, and read the note.

"Gone?" Zhao Ta was still waiting for the following, but when he saw that he was happy but was silent, he frowned and asked.

"Second master, it's gone, just these eight words, don't believe it!" Seeing that the prince didn't believe it, he hurriedly handed over the hands in his hands.

"What the hell is this old thing..."Zhao Ta took the letter and glanced at it, there were really only eight big characters on a piece of paper, but the words were wrong.

"What about the Messenger, didn't he say anything?" Zhao Ta was puzzled, turned around twice and turned his head and asked.

"Second master, the messenger I arranged for him to rest, he only said that he would present the letter to you immediately, and he didn't say anything!" Jianxi hurriedly replied, "If the second master sees him, it is best to wait until tomorrow, the messenger rushed here from Taiyuan to change horses without changing people, and he is already tired and paralyzed!" ”

"Oh, I see!" After listening to this, Zhao Ta pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "It's really a wicked person who has to grind with a wicked person, and the two old things are still powerful!" His face, which had been cloudy for a day, finally cleared.

"Second master, what does this mean?" Zhao Xin was overjoyed to see the prince, but he was confused when he heard it, and asked in confusion.

"Hehe, two old guys are bad, they mean to let me take the opportunity. Cook the raw rice to mature rice. No one can scoop me! Zhao Tan stared at Zhao Xin and said with a cruel smile on his face.

"Second master... You're bullying again! Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily, how could he not think of another meaning of this remark when he was mixed in the army all day long.

"Ha Luha, what were you looking for just now?" Zhao Ta saw that Zhao Xin's little face was crimson against the background of the lantern, as if he had taken advantage of it, and asked with a satisfied smile.

"I'm looking for a spider, but I just found it, and I was scared away again, and the second master wants to compensate me!" Zhao Xin pouted. The women of the Song Dynasty often catch a spider and put it in a box on this night, and check it the next day, if the web is round and upright, it is called a coincidence, which is also an important activity of Qixi Festival.

"Good. You tell me the appearance of the spider, see you immediately gather all the officers and soldiers of the guards, surround the entire courtyard, tonight is to demolish this courtyard, but also to help Zhao Xin capture the spider! Zhao Ta immediately agreed, and said with a straight face.

"Second master, no!" Zhao Xin took the prince's hand and shouted, if the people of the guards knew that their beloved captain was actually cleverly catching spiders like a woman, they would not have to laugh and drop their jaws.

"Second master, everyone is tired for a day, so don't bother them. You can help Zhao Xin catch one, I'm also sleepy, let's go to bed first! Seeing that Xi was really sensible, he replied seriously, yawned without waiting for the prince to agree, and turned his head away, but Zhao Xin clearly heard the suppressed 'sneering' laughter from outside the hospital...

The sentries and patrols on duty have received 'strict orders' from Xiye, and no one is allowed to trespass into the prince's courtyard without urgent military information or the king's summons, otherwise he will be sent to sweep the stable. I can hear the evil laughter of the prince and the screams of the captain in the courtyard, and I don't know what game the prince and the captain are playing. I wanted to take a look, but I was afraid of being caught by Xiye, which made everyone's hearts itch and uncomfortable, and they stretched their necks and stared at each other to figure it out, but the door was closed. They didn't even leave a crack in the road.

"Morning Glory, Bright River Han Girl. Slim hands. Zaza Lane Machine. All day long, sobbing like rain. The river is clear and shallow, how much is it different? Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent. After some tossing, Zhao Ta finally helped Zhao Xin catch a satisfied spider, the two of them put the spider with a big waist and big butt into a delicate small box, sat down again and looked up at the Cowherd and Vega Star in the air, silent, Zhao Ta suddenly felt that there was a 'heavenly river' between the two of them. …,

"Second master, you have sleepwalked through the heavens, and you have seen the Cowherd and Weaver Girl?" Zhao Xin put his hands on his cheeks and asked the prince innocently.

"Of course I've seen it, the Cowherd is honest, the Weaver Girl is beautiful, and the two children are well-behaved!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, but he smiled secretly in his heart, these two stars can be seen every day, but they are several light years away from the earth, and I really don't know what they look like.

"They are so pitiful, separated by the Milky Way, they can only be reunited once a year, and they suffer from lovesickness every day!" Zhao Xin sighed and said.

"I think they're happy!" Zhao Ta said leisurely.

"Second master, you can't see each other every day, how can you be happy?" Zhao Xin said in surprise, looking at the prince, he didn't look like he was joking.

"Although they are far away, they can feel each other's thoughts, and there are people who think about themselves and think about themselves every day, isn't this happiness? I don't want some people to be under the same roof, but they are in the same bed and have different dreams, even if they see each other every day, can they say that he is happy, it's like..."Zhao Ta looked at the sky and saw Zhao Xin take off his coat and put it on him, and left his seat with a smile.

"Second master, what is it?" Zhao Xin stopped halfway through what the prince said, and hurriedly asked.

"Don't miss the opportunity, never lose it again!" There was a puzzling sentence from the prince in the room, wasn't this sentence what Huang Daguan just said to the prince, and who did he say it to, me or him, Zhao Xin thought about it and smiled, but the smile was full of bitterness, could it be that I and the prince can only be like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, destined to be separated by the Tianhe?

．．．．．．

The sun rose again, but Brother Cha didn't want to go out, he didn't want to hear the miserable neighing left by the horses when they were about to be slaughtered, he didn't want to see the chaotic eyes of the sergeants, and he didn't want to smell the smell of rice wafting from the direction of the Song army's camp.

In fact, the shortage of food in the Xia army was even more serious than Zhao Ta imagined, and they only got a few thousand stones of overheated grain in Liangu, and they ate a burnt taste in their mouths, but this was also their last reserve, which was also an important reason why Brother Cha was eager to lead the army to relieve the siege of Fengzhou. Thousands of stone grain people did not insist on eating horses for a few days, and now they have to kill horses for food, and if they want the whole army to be full, thousands of horses are killed every day.

Horses are the lifeblood of soldiers, but also the property of the soldiers themselves, they have no pay for fighting, and the reward for their military exploits is only a pound of wine and a few pounds of cheese, and plundering is where they get money. Now that the Song army is blocked in this big ravine, except for the sand is stone, the grass roots have been eaten up, who will take the captivity, and now he has to take his own horse, who wants to!

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chage could only scoop his own horse and shoot first, and personally killed his beloved horse who had followed him for many years in front of the army. Although killing horses is a helpless move, but it is also necessary, in addition to supplementing military rations, but also because their territory is getting smaller and smaller, there is less and less forage for horses to eat, and it is inevitable to starve to death after a long time.

The Song army surrounded them, but still adopted the old tactic of shallow attack, and every day, in addition to sending a small force to sweep away harassment, it was to constantly repair fortifications, dig trenches, limit the range of activities of their cavalry, and encroach on their camp little by little, so that the depth of their defense was constantly shrinking. What's even more hateful is that the Song army moved the gang to the front of the position, steaming steamed buns and wrapping buns every day, and their own soldiers who shouted and shouted while eating secretly ran over to eat steamed buns, at first they were still one or two, and now they are in groups every night. Brother Cha could only strictly restrain and engage in a series of sittings and running to kill a team, barely maintaining the situation.

"Report to the prince, the messenger sent is back!" Just when Brother Cha was worried, the soldiers entered the tent and said. …,

"Let him in!" Brother Cha is overjoyed, the hard days are finally over, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, he will be able to turn the tide of the war.

The messenger was quickly brought into the account and presented the letterbox, and Brother Cha checked the seal, opened the letterbox and took out the reply, but the more he opened it, the worse his face became, "Can you deliver the letter from this king?" He put down the letter and asked the messenger who was standing in the tent.

"Lord Wang, the lower official crossed the Quye River that day, evaded the pursuit of the Song army, did not dare to stay all the way, and sent the letter of the prince to the account of the deputy commander of the Wuli army!" The messenger didn't know what the prince would ask about this, but he still answered truthfully.

"Have you ever heard anything about it?" Brother Cha asked again.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates listened to the complaints of his subordinates who joined the army, saying that Xiazhou was attacked, and all the grain and grass in the cellar and warehouse of Qiliping State were plundered, and Xingqing Mansion ordered the military divisions in the left chamber to transfer troops to recapture Xiazhou..."

"You privately voted for the Song Army, and you dared to come back to lie about the military situation and pass on false news!" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Chago got up and drew his knife and walked towards the messenger.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials don't have it, and they will never dare to pass through the Song..." The messenger saw that it was not good, and retreated as he spoke, but his defense was interrupted by the prince's sword.

"Lord Wang, why is this?" Everyone in the tent was shocked when they saw that the prince suddenly killed the messenger.

"Hmph, the little prince of the Song Dynasty is now repeating his old tricks, and sending people to disturb the hearts of our army, fortunately, I have been prepared, yesterday another messenger has returned to the camp, and the Wuli deputy commander has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses from the military divisions of the left wing, bringing grain and grass to help!" Chago said, pointing to the headless corpse on the ground.

"Report to the prince, today's Song army is very abnormal, and the soldiers and horses are frequently mobilized, and it seems that they want to be unfavorable to us!" At this time, the Malay newspaper was explored.

"Probe!" After hearing this, Brother Cha's eyes darkened, and he held on to the bookcase and said. But he was bitter in his heart, his opponent was too ruthless, he wanted his own life, and he wanted to destroy Western Xia.

In fact, Brother Cha knew that what the messenger said was all true, and he killed him just to stabilize the morale of the army, and Wu Li's letter made it clear that now Xiazhou has been lost, and the Privy Council learned that after Brother Cha was besieged, he had ordered all military divisions to gather elite troops to help, but Xiazhou was unexpectedly attacked by the Song army, and the reinforcements were blocked under the city of Xiazhou, and it was impossible to mobilize grain and grass. And they received a report that the Song Dynasty was ready to start peace talks again, so as long as Brother Cha insisted for a few more days, as soon as the Song Dynasty's holy decree arrived, its siege would be relieved, but now the opposite side seemed to not want them to wait until that day, and was ready to do it before the holy decree arrived!
