Wanyan Sticky Han has arrived in Xiangyang. Xiangyang is the capital of Jingnan Road, and when Xiangyang is down, Jinghu Lake is no longer blocked. Sticky Han ordered the root of the Baise craftsmen and gold and silver silks. While gathering his four sons, they discussed the next step.

At present, the Jin people occupy more and more places in the Song Dynasty, and each Jin is like a feudal seal, grabbing territory. Wanyan Yinshu can think of monopolizing Hedong, although Wanyan Lou is now looking at Luoyang for Sticky Han, but he always remembers to go west to Shaanxi.

In the past, Pu Jianu, Gu Zhen, Hu Lu, Yalazy He Sigong and others who followed Sticky Han, all found a state city and became a sitting tiger. Now Wanyan Muhan promoted his four sons, Wanyan Shehema, Wanyan Saili, Wanyan Xianbao, and Wanyan Bashu, as the generals of the unified army under his command.

"Daddy, Xiangyang has been laid, whether we are going west or south, Saili has occupied Shouzhou, if it is west, it will be close to the rich texture of Jianghuai."

"If it is to the south, take Jinghu, and then go down the river to capture Jiangnan."

Wan Yan Muhan groaned and did not speak. Du Chong dug the river, and the route of the Eastern Route Army to directly attack Bianliang in the south was blocked, and several princes of the Eastern Route Army proposed that the Eastern Route Army go south from Luoyang. But everyone in the Western Route Army shirked it.

Now the four sons of Sticky Han are still thinking about capturing Jianghuai and even Jiangnan, but Wanyan Sticky Han himself knows that his headquarters has reached the end of the crossbow, instead of rushing to attack Jianghuai now, it is better to concentrate on Luoyang and Xiangyang first, then you can enter Jinghu Jiangnan, retreat can defend Xijing, and choke the throat of the world.

He was analyzing the current situation with the three sons in front of him, and suddenly Wanyan Saili sent someone back to deliver a letter: "The little emperor of the Song Kingdom is in Luzhou. ”

"Daddy, come and catch this little emperor." Wanyan Xianbao shouted.

"Catch this little emperor." Wanyan is also called.

Wanyan was a little hesitant, from the perspective of the overall strategic needs of the Jin Kingdom, of course, it was better to catch the emperor, maybe all over the south of the Yangtze River could be passed on. After four years of war, the Song monarchs and ministers had completely exposed their incompetence. It's just that the Song Kingdom is too big, and Jin Bing can't swallow it in one bite.

The Jin State has already captured the two emperors of the Song State, if this little emperor is caught again, even if the Song State establishes another one, I am afraid that the morale will be greatly hit. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for several sons to go to Luzhou.

But if he personally arrests the little emperor, he may get into another trouble: the merit is high and the lord is shocked.

Although the surname of Sticky Han is Wanyan, he is only a distant relative of Wanyan Aguta, and according to the view of the Song Dynasty, he has already produced five suits. At present, it is roughly bounded by Taihang Mountain, and the west of Taihang is headed by Muhan. On the surface, this is equivalent to sealing half of the country to Sticky Han. After the Song Kingdom is destroyed, the Wanyan family will turn around, and it will be themselves who will have to deal with it.

But these things are not enough to talk directly to the sons. Sticky Han asked, "Of course it's good to catch the little emperor." But where does the food and grass come from? ”

"Dispatch on the spot."

"Then we won't be in Xiangyang for long."

"Daddy," said after thinking about it, "Xiangyang couldn't stay in the first place, starting from Luoyang, our army ran out of grain and grass. Dengzhou, Fangzhou, and Junzhou came all the way, all of them went all the way and grabbed all the way. When the local grain and grass in Xiangyang run out, we have to leave. ”

Sticky Han thought about it, no matter what, he was next door to the little emperor of the Song Kingdom, and it was not good not to say hello. So Mu Han ordered to plunder Xiangyang for three days, and then the whole army turned to Huaixi.

"The golden people and the sojourners offered gold and silver to thank the dwellers, so the sojourners all went out of the city with gold and silver."

After receiving a wave of entanglement, the king of Gaitian (Wanyan Xiebao) sent an edict saying: If you want to leave 100,000 troops in Xiangyang, how can you deal with grain and grass?

The big families in Xiangyang lamented one after another: "Xiangyang has less grain and more water, and it is not a place for soldiers." Please return to the army as soon as possible. ”

Wanyan slanted and said: "Both the people who worship the Jurchens are the people. If the Jurchens return to the army, who will be the master of the red scarves and other cities? ”

The big ones don't dare to do it.

Wanyan Xianbao ordered the city to move north. The officials still sent the monks, the monks still returned to the temple, and the people lived in the farmhouse and planted the fields as sojourners.

The order to move north spread throughout the city, and the whole city wept.

Everyone helped the old and the young, packed up the softness, listened to the words of Lord Jinguo, and retreated to the north. But when they arrived ten miles outside the city, the Jin soldiers set up a layer of sentry to stop the people. Then Jin Bing came up and searched all the people's vehicles and packages.

The people must have carried the jewels, gold and silver at the bottom of the box with them, and the Jin Kingdom searched their bodies like this, and they took away all the softness of the people.

Wanyan and Wanyan watched quietly from a distance, and Wanyan said: "What, this method is much better than you going door-to-door to search." He is also much more merciful, only robbing things and killing less. ”

"Big brother's method, brother admires."

In Luzhou, Zhao Chen has occupied the office of the Huaixi Transshipment Division as a palace. At this time, he was playing chess with King Kang Zhao Gou in the backyard.

"Among all the clans, only Uncle Huang is the most courageous and willing to accompany me in command of the enemy."

"Your Majesty praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be."

"Back then, Emperor Zhenzong drove the expedition in person, Wen had Kou Zhun, and Wu had Li Jilong as his assistant, originally I thought that Xu Han Wang Yu could be in this position, but they all put Zai Zhi first, and they didn't take me seriously, so they missed the opportunity to establish meritorious service."

Zhao Gou's heart moved slightly, these days, Zhao Chen's series of actions have made the possibility of the realization of "Four Holy Blessings, There Must Be Good Omen" slowly increased. Xu Han also gave up, but Wang Yu was the person designated by Zhu Fenglian as Zhao Chen's head of the army, but he took half of his troops from Wang Yu.

He remained silent, pretending to concentrate on the chess game in front of him. At this time, a maid brought two cups of tea.

Originally, Zhao Chen's tea should have been delivered by the palace maid, but this maid was the personal maid of Princess Kang Xing Bingyi, and she was also familiar in front of Tong Mu's eyes, so Tong Mu did not stop it.

When Zhao Chen saw this maid, he suddenly blushed, the maid was indeed generous, put the teacup in place, and turned to leave.

"Uncle Huang, is this the maid of your mansion?"

"Well, it's the girl next to Neiko, and her mother's family seems to be surnamed Wu." Zhao Gou said lightly.

In another time and space, this is Zhao Gou's Empress Wu. Xing Bingyi was captured by Jin Bing, and Wu turned to serve King Kang Zhao Gou at the age of 14.

In the thirteenth year of Shaoxing, she was canonized as the queen. Died at the age of 83, and was called the Empress of the Holy Martyr, and saved in the Yongsi Mausoleum. Wu lived in the four dynasties of Gao, Xiao, Guang and Ning, and reigned for 55 years (including the Queen Mother), making him one of the longest queens in history.

"History of the Song Dynasty" commented that the Empress Wu of Zhao Gou "is very beautiful and lovely, and she knows a lot of books, from Xing Siming, Yibo learns the history of calligraphy, and is good at Hanmo." "It's both talented and beautiful.

But in this time and space, the fourteen-year-old Wu has not yet been accepted by Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou saw Wu for the first time, and was also surprised by his beauty, after inquiring about Wu's life experience in detail, he secretly said: "Lonely has a big help." ”

He wanted to send the Wu family to Zhao Chen's harem, Xing Bingyi disagreed at first, but Zhao Gou said: "There is a trustworthy person by the emperor's side, and our children can live a peaceful life." "There is the act of serving tea today.

Zhao Chen was only eleven years old when he ascended the throne, and now he is only fourteen, and he has not yet established a queen.

Zhao Gou wants to offer his daughter, and he can't tell Zhao Chen directly: There is a flower girl in the minister, and the emperor can accept it with a smile. The Zhao family has a very high level of cultural literacy, so we still have to talk about some style, let Zhao Chen meet him today and adjust his appetite.

The two continued to play chess, but Zhao Chen's mind was obviously not on the chessboard, Zhao Chen really wanted to push the chessboard, saying that my heart was in turmoil, and the emperor would quickly wash the maid and send it up. But he knew he couldn't. When he was bored, Huang Yanjie came to report: Wang Fang's envoy has arrived.

Now, the armies under Du Chong, Liu Guangshi, and Wang Yuan have gathered in Luzhou, plus the two armies of Longwu and Longwei transferred by Wang Yu, and a full 100,000 people have been assembled in Luzhou. Moreover, Zhu Fenglian once arranged for the veteran Xie Qian to go to Huaixi to appease the local Xiang army first, and now Xie Qian's command has also gathered more than 10,000 people.

Zhao Chen said to Liu Guangshi: "Liu Qing's family, you will dispatch troops." ”

Liu Guangshi said: "The last general was born in the Western Army, and he is a guest general in Huaixi, and the dispatch is also low. Liu Guangshi figured out that the 100,000 people here and the 70,000 people were the Hebei Army and the Gyeonggi Army, all of whom were accustomed to seeing scenes at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The king made envoys with moderation, and all the envoys in front of the palace were all overtaken by the subordinates, not to mention his small envoy.

Du Chong excused himself a few words.

Zhao Chen said: "I know that the Qing family has suffered some grievances in Hebei, and Hu Yangeng has collected all the weapons, grains and grass in Hebei, and the elite soldiers and strong generals have taken it away, and the Qing family can't cook without rice." ”

When Du Chong heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Huang Qianshan, who was standing aside with a cold face, who had just been exonerated and had the right to know Huang Qianshan of the Privy Council. I guess I came here to say good things for him.

The monarchs and ministers praised each other a few more words. Du Chongcai reluctantly made it difficult for him to serve as a formation envoy.

Du Chong ordered the general first and asked Yue Fei to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to explore in the direction of Shouzhou. Yue Fei took the order and left.

Liu Guangshi said: "In the battle of Shenshui Gorge last year, Yue Fei's son was just a small follower by Hu Yangeng's side, and today he has already worshiped the assassin history. With additional experience, it is enough to take on a great responsibility. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Du Shuai's subordinates are all elite soldiers and strong generals, Han Shizhong, Wang De, Chen Cui, are not simple, compared with Du Shuai, the brothers' subordinates can't be seen." He turned his head and arched his hand upward: "Your Majesty, there are only 9,000 people under the command of the minister, please allocate the two armies of Longwu and Longwei to me."

Du Chong thought to himself: It turns out that you have a crush on these 20,000 strong troops, but this can't be given to you. "Your Majesty, the two armies of Longwu and Longwei should be led by Your Majesty personally, as a new force, when they occupy a stalemate, they suddenly come out and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop."

Wang Yuan didn't do it and argued with Du Chong.

Du Chong was annoyed: "Let you be presumptuous, when the time comes, let you go to the battle in person, and let you die in vain." ”
