The weather is getting hotter in June, the rainy season in the north has arrived, the river is swollen, the air is damp, and the bowstrings are moldy. The Jin army that was besieged in Zhaozhou is also getting more and more difficult, and now the most scarce thing is grain and grass, they are surrounded in this square inch of land, there is no pasture for grazing, people are not full, and there is no horse material for war horses to eat, and reinforcements have not yet arrived.

"Ceres, has Sticky Han returned north and abandoned us?" Seven or eight days have passed since the move to Gaoyi, and the messenger asking for help sent several batches of Lu, but Zong Han did not return the piece of paper, and Zong Xuan couldn't sit still and found Wanyan Xiyin to ask for advice.

"I don't know what to do, now the Song army is besieging Zhaozhou, and the news is incomprehensible!" Wanyan Xiyin shook his head and said, in the past few days, Han Li has been in a coma for most of the time, and everything is pressing on him, and this talented man of the Dajin Kingdom also has a feeling of being poor in donkey skills.

"This Zhao Er retreated and didn't retreat, fought and didn't fight, just surrounded us, did he want to trap us here?" Wanyan Zongqi said irritably, "Why didn't Sticky Han come, didn't he save him when he died!" ”

"Do you remember Lou's last words?" Wan Yan Xiyin asked.

"You mean... Don't let us expect Zong Han to come to the aid and break through as soon as possible?! Wanyan Zongqi thought for a moment and said.

"Well, it looks like Sticky Han won't come!" Wanyan Xiyin smiled bitterly.

"For what, if he doesn't save him when he sees death, isn't he afraid of my father's punishment?" Wanyan Zongqi shouted in shock.

"It's very simple, Mu Han can see that this is a trap laid by Zhao Er, he wants to wipe out our army, and Lou Room has already seen it. So we want to break through as soon as possible, but there is no chance now! Wanyan Xiyin shook his head and sighed.

"Is this a trap?" Wanyan Zongqi sat down dejectedly.

"Not bad. Zhao Er could have defeated us in one go, but he didn't move. I just want to lure Sticky Han to the rescue, and then gather us all here! Wanyan Xiyin said.

"Then he won't be afraid that Sticky Han will see through his tricks!" Wan Yan Zongqi said.

"According to the usual theory, Zhao Er is not afraid, because we have Han Li in the Western Route Army, and you have the eldest prince, as you said, even if Mu Han sees through the fraud, he has to save it, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the emperor. But Zhao Er still underestimated Sticky Han, to be precise, he underestimated Sticky Han's ambitions. If he had half the ruthlessness of sticky Han, he would have become the emperor of the Southern Dynasty a long time ago! Wanyan Xiyin said that he has worked with Sticky Han for many years and knows his style very well.

"Does he want to..."Wanyan Zongxuan listened to the heart and sank, this time the Jin State mobilized the elite soldiers of the whole country, which belonged to the two roads, if they were wiped out all the way, then only Zong Han was the only one in the country, even if the emperor had the intention to surrender, but he would not dare to act rashly because he was afraid of the strength in his hands.

"He's going to be a powerful minister!" Wanyan Xiyin said.

"Sticky Han doesn't come. The Vultures should come too! Wanyan Zongqi sat down and said dejectedly, he also knew that once Zhao Er found out that Sticky Han gave up the rescue, then he would solve his own side first, and then go to chase Sticky Han. And this war of annihilation could happen at any time.

"I hope that Wushu still doesn't come, first, he is weak, even if he comes to help, it will be useless; The second is that Han is not less talented than sticky. If he... Then only the Wushu can pick up this burden, otherwise Sticky Han will be even more unscrupulous! Wanyan Xiyin said. Now looking at Han's physical condition, there are no two days left, and he is gone. It can be said that the country has lost its pillars, and it has also lost an opponent who can compete with Zong Han, and although Wushu is young, he has shown his talent for governing the army with his early appearance, but he will become a generation of heroes if he has the opportunity.

"So what do we do? Are you waiting to die here? Wanyan Zongqi was in chaos, and said dejectedly.

"Zhao Er has issued an order to kill all my soldiers going south, then we can't sit still, we can only fight to the death, life and death are up to our lives!" Wanyan Xiyin looked at his stump arm and said, he knew that if he waited any longer, the grain and grass would run out, and the soldiers would have no heart to fight, and he really didn't even have the strength to break through at that time.

"The superintendent, the deputy marshal, the marshal has woken up, please come over!" At this time, Han's inseparable personal soldiers walked in and asked them to meet the marshal...

………

The weather was unusually hot and stuffy, making people feel suffocating and unbearable, Zhao Ta also hid in the woods by the river to escape the heat, he wore a small coat and lay on the grass to pill Zhao Xin's thighs regardless of the image, and the internal guards in charge of the guard avoided it with interest, leaving only the two of them to be intimate there.

"Second master, you have lost a lot of weight, don't work too hard!" Zhao Xin was still dressed in a military uniform, but she took off her weapon, and she said for the prince to drive mosquitoes.

"Alas, life is hard, family affairs and state affairs are pressed on me, and my head is going to explode every day when I think about it, being an emperor is really not a fun thing!" Zhao Ta sighed and said, now in addition to thinking about the current battle situation, he also has to think about what will happen after he officially ascends the throne, this is not the gain or loss of one city and one place, but the present and future of the entire country.

"The second master will soon be the lord of a country, and as soon as the words come out, it will be the 'oracle and holy decree', which must be recorded in the "Living Record", and you can't say such things casually anymore, otherwise it will damage the holy reputation!" Zhao Xin said seriously.

"Where did you hear all this?" Zhao Ta asked with a smile.

"Of course, I heard from the princess, since you led the troops to the battle, the princess said that the second master will be established as the new monarch after he comes back this time, so he often talks about the rules in the palace in front of us, and I remember some of them when I hear it!" Zhao Xin said.

"Hehe, she's so clever, she can still calculate that I will be the emperor, so what does she think?" Zhao Ta said a little funny, but he also secretly admired that this Khitan princess was indeed extraordinary, and her scheming was very deep!

"She told me privately that once the second master ascends the throne, she will lead the military and civilians of Xijing to vote and merge into the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Xin said.

"Oh, that's what she told you?" Zhao Ta said with some surprise, he had always felt that the problem of Xijing had always been tricky, after all, there was still the Liao deposed emperor Yelu Yanxi as the emperor, and it existed in the name of Liao. But after he was called the emperor, he inherited the mantle of the Great Song Dynasty, and could no longer be the lord of Xijing, his original meaning was to let Xijing exist as a vassal state to the Song Dynasty, which was conducive to the stability of Xijing, and there would be no such great resistance when his descendants were born and then recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, I didn't expect her to be so decisive and do it so thoroughly.

"Well, the princess has mentioned to me several times that it doesn't seem to be a fake!" Zhao Xin nodded and said, "The Liao State is actually dead, and it is all up to the support of the second master to delay it until now, this is something that is clear to everyone in Xijing, since the second master has become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, why do you need this false name, it is better to add color to the second master!" ”

"She's got the general idea, would you? Your Xiao family is a big family in Xijing, what if you are unhappy? Zhao Ta nodded, tilted his face back and asked again.

"Where is the second master, as long as the second master thinks it is good, I am willing, the Xiao family is also declining day by day, and it has long lost the spirit of the year, how can you be happy, what can you do if you are not happy, and the second master has never treated them badly, I am afraid it is too late to be happy if I can climb your big tree!" Zhao Xinyan said.

"Alas, it would be nice if you were Han..."Zhao Ta suddenly sighed and said.

"Second master, I'm not as good as the princess, I'm not as good as the princess, I just want to be by your side, I'm satisfied, I don't care about those false names!" Zhao Xin immediately heard what the prince meant, but she also knew that the prince of the Dao Dao was not bound by common sense, if he really did something 'rebellious' on impulse, I was afraid that he would be buried by those old masters' scripts!

"The world is impermanent, the wind and clouds are changing, and life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten!" Zhao Tan sighed.

"The second master is going to be the emperor, what else is unsatisfactory, let others hear it, you have to say you..."

"Leave the merits to future generations, it's nonsense not to defeat the Jurchens now!" Zhao Ta turned over and said, "We've been waiting for so many days, Zong Han's family seems to have seen through our plan, and it's hard to fight all the time!" "These days, the detectives have been out to investigate the news, and Zong Han has been standing still, I don't know if Lu Dao is hesitating, or still testing his true intentions, but Zhao Ta also realized that most of his plans have failed.

"Zong Han is cunning and ruthless, the reason why he didn't move was to wait. If we can't hold back and start eating Han Libu first, then he can justifiably withdraw his troops; If we don't move, if he withdraws the army first, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to think about the emperor of Jin to explain when he goes back, and he will have a reputation of not being able to save him. Zhao Xin said with a sneer.

"Well, it makes sense, Zong Han is more ruthless than me!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, it seems that it is his own mistake to use brotherly love to lure such a ruthless thing as Zong Han into the bait, now that the two armies are two hundred miles apart, and Zhao Yong, who was chasing him, has also withdrawn to the vicinity of Zhaozhou, he really wants to run, and he may not be able to catch up with him, which makes him unwilling.

"Now I'm afraid that Han will not be able to wait for reinforcements soon, and he can't hold his breath, so he will break through first, then Zong Han can return north safely!" Zhao Xin suddenly thought of something and said, "Then let's do it first, quickly fight and eat the remnants of Han Li's army first, and then lead the army to pursue Zong Han, he is holding the king of Liao hostage with the army, and he has a large number of looted property and people, if he can't run fast, he can't succeed in his treacherous plan!" ”

"The wind is blowing..."As he spoke, Zhao Ta felt a gust of wind blowing, he looked up from the gap between the leaves, and saw the dark clouds rolling in the air, quickly gathering together, and the sky was dark.

"Second master, let's go, it's going to rain!" Zhao Xin hurriedly helped the prince to get up, put on his clothes and said.

'Click...' was just a moment of Zhao Ta's dressing, the sky was as dark as the bottom of a pot, a few lightning flashes, and I remembered a few thunderbolts that shook the earth as if they were shaking, and the war horse tied to the side neighed uneasily, "The sky has changed, and something big has happened!" "The weather changed suddenly, and Zhao Ta faintly felt that it was not good... (To be continued......)
