When Ximenqing was strategizing under the city of Tokyo, the western border was already in chaos.

This time, the Western Xia raised troops to invade, because there was a Song Dynasty Dujun Huizong's land cutting document in hand, which can be said to be justifiable, so the whole country's troops were raised, and they moved to attack from three sides. Although the Song army on the western border was the most elite unit of the Northern Song Dynasty, as soon as Tong Guan went down to the south of the Yangtze River, most of the main force had been transferred, and the defensive strength was greatly affected; Second, it was first affected by the edict of land cession, and then by the blow of the city of Tokyo, the morale of the border army was low, and all the battles were defeated.

There is only one place - Linfu Road, Hedong.

On the maps of the Song, Liao, and Western Xia, it can be seen that the Linfu Road was located in the northwest corner of the Song Dynasty, and its momentum was like a sharp nail, wedged straight into the Western Xia and Liao, and has always made the two countries, especially the Western Xia, like a thorn in the back. After the alliance of Tanyuan, the Liao State and the Song Dynasty lived in peace, and the threat of Linfu Road was naturally negligible, but the Western Xia often fought with the Song Dynasty and suffered enough from Linfu Road.

Guarding the Yulinfu Road is a group of special people, known as the generals. Unlike the bureaucrats appointed by the imperial court, Linfu Road was narrow and lackluster, there was not much oil and water, and the Tangut people often came to camp and practice, so it was always regarded as a daunting path by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and no one was willing to come here to defend the frontier.

The government can't count on it, and the people can only save themselves, so in the battle against the invasion of the Western Xia, a righteous militia stood out - they are the children of the local clan, because behind them is their homeland, take a step back, and there is no place to die, so these locals fought bravely, repeatedly defeated the Western Xia, and the invaders were afraid of them like tigers, called the "Folding Army".

The imperial court then pushed the boat down the river, and the leader of the family army was the governor of Linzhou, and the hereditary replacement. Having this militia that can fight in the west saves the rulers a lot of trouble.

However, there is a fine tradition in the Great Song Dynasty that is to be suspicious of military generals - as the generals of the Zhe family have made more meritorious contributions and become more and more famous, they have inevitably been subjected to increasingly fierce suspicion and defense.

According to the usual practice, the Song Dynasty set up the post of general judge to contain the governor; This is not counting, in the first year of the Emperor of 1049, the Song Dynasty set up a horse on Linfu Road to bear it, for the emperor to spy on the local situation, and report it in time; Moreover, an edict was issued that all the prison divisions of Hedong Road—the Transshipment Division, the Prison Division, and the Changping Division—had the right to supervise the prefecture.

In this way, there are more and more ties to the folding generals. Finally arrived in the fifth year of Jiayou, and the then Fuzhou Zhizhou Jizu couldn't stand it anymore, so he wanted to pick and choose. Only then did the court discover that in this wasteland where the grandmother was not close and the uncle was not loved, in addition to the Zhi family general, there was really no second capable person, so it turned into a smiling face and was secretly caressed, and the Zhe family settled down and continued to be a meat shield for the Zhao and Song courts.

In addition to the supervision of civil officials, the Song Dynasty also stationed the forbidden army on Linfu Road, at first it was 2,000 people, and it increased to more than 10,000 people in the fourth year of Qingli, although its task was to resist the invasion of Western Xia, and more importantly, "suspect its strength, don't put a division of soldiers and horses, in order to see its actions", the full name of this division is the military and horse division of Goulin Road, which has always been a noose around the neck of the folding general, and no one knows when this noose will suddenly tighten.

But the irony is that it was this noose that saved the Zhejia generals and saved Linfu Road.

The Western Xia saluted first and then the soldiers, and sent an envoy arrogantly, and after showing the land cutting document signed by Emperor Huizong, he ordered the Zhejia to surrender to the Western Xia.

The patriarch of the Zhi family, Zhi Keda, was sick in bed at this time, and when he heard the bad news, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "The ancestors have fought a hundred battles and the foundation has been passed down for nine generations, and today they want to bury my hand?" Even if you die, you are ashamed to see your ancestors! Filled with righteous indignation, he coughed up blood and died.

This is a bomb of the hornet's nest. How can the Fold family be a good man and a woman? It's just that in the way of the two countries' wars, the general practice of not cutting the envoys, reluctantly treating the Xixia envoy as a person, and now this guy is angry with his own boss, and the Xixia envoy can't be a person, so he has to be a ghost.

After killing the envoy of the Western Xia, the Zhe family will be headed by Zhe Keqiu, and the blood will be sacrificed in the ancestral ancestral hall as an alliance - the men, women and children of the Zhe family will swear to die and not admit the false edict of the land, and they are willing to live and die together with Linfu Road, and they will not hesitate to fight to Zuihou!

At this moment, the family reported that Yuan Yuan, the commander of the military and horse division of the Goulin Mansion Road, came to worship. Fold Keqiu gritted his teeth, anyway, he had already decided to disobey the edict of the faint king, so he simply didn't do anything and did the lackeys of the court first! So he ordered to go down, and the two compartments were densely covered with knives and axes—"Let you cut it, that is, cut it into meat sauce!" ”

Who knew that Yuan Yuan hadn't stepped into the threshold yet, so he shouted first: "Now that the imperial court has an order to cut the land, Linzhou Prefecture, Fengzhou Volcano Army, Baode Army and other places, no longer my Chinese territory, now that the monarch has passed away, I can ask the monarch to succeed Fuzhou, but I don't know what to do?" ”

Zhe Keqiu pretended to be pretending to say: "I also want to surrender, but I am only afraid that the township party will not tolerate it, and the children will laugh shamefully!" ”

When Yuan Yuan heard this, his eyes were split, and he scolded with his halberd fingers: "Rats! The hateful Folded Family's prestige of the Ninth World is lightly lost in your hands today! How can the land of China be cut off from the western thief? You don't want to serve the country and avenge your family, but you only think about surrendering, and the ancestors of the family have spirits, and they will not bless you! ”

Lest Yuan Yuan was playing tricks on himself, he made a nest and said: "Who dares to disobey the official decree?" Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, even if it is painful, it has to obey the king's life and give up the small family! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yuan spit out with a "bah", and when he was in a hurry, he heard Yuan Yuan scold: "Lao Tzu was born in the green forest, and when he was recruited, he was in order to protect the territory and settle down, the dog emperor in the court, Lao Tzu looked down on him like a mustard!" Today, the faint king issued a faint edict, and if he wants Lao Tzu to serve the edict, it is extremely difficult! The surname is folded, since you are determined to be a loyal minister, Lao Tzu will fulfill you here first! I'm afraid that if you die under the Nine Springs, you won't be able to see your ancestors! ”

With a "choking" sound, Yuan Yuan's steel knife was unsheathed, and he could ask for it. The two-box knife and axe hand looks at it, and this is worth it? Without waiting for the fold to beg for the cup to be broken, the bowl was already pouring out, surrounding Yuan Yuan in the heart, and was about to start, but he heard the fold begging shouted: "Slow!" ”

The sword is bright and the axe is sharp, and he can ask Yuan Yuandao: "Your Excellency is the commander of the forbidden army of the Goulin Mansion Road Army, and you are not a local, why do you want to force this senseless beam to stand up?" ”

Although the face of the big axe beside him was as broad as a true bull's head, and the frost was cold, Yuan Yuanwu's face did not change, and his eyes were fierce: "Although my department is a forbidden army, they are all Chinese!" ”

Folding can ask for words, tears like rain, retreat the knife and axe, and bow to Yuan Yuan: "Today I know that Brother Yuan is from the bottom of my heart!" ”

With a command, the head of the Western Xia envoy was presented to the left and right. Yuan Yuan saw it and suddenly realized, and the hostility between the two families was relieved. Then build three layers of altar in the city of Fuzhou, line the flags of the five parties, worship the black ox and white horse, Yuan Yuan and Zhe Ke beg for the blood alliance in front of the people of the city on the altar, the oath said: "The Song family has no way, the emperor is out of control, the emperor is traitorous, and cut my border." However, my ancestors are all Chinese people, how can we bow our knees to the enemy, to be ashamed of our ancestors, and to be ashamed of all people? Although this land is barren, it is also fertile by the blood of the ancestors of the martyrs, the boy was born in Si, grew up here, and would rather die than abandon from the chaos of life! Seeking, waiting for the rest of the army to gather armor, repair the battle and defend, and are willing to live and die with Linfu Road, advance and retreat together! Today's alliance, work together, if there is a Yu, the death of the clan annihilation! The emperor and queen of heaven, the heroic soul of the ancestors, all the facts! The rhetoric was generous, and everyone who heard it was in tears, so the army and the people worked together, fortified the walls and cleared the wilderness, and prepared to fight against the city.

Although he is happy, he also has sorrows: "Linfu Road is a lonely city, there is a lack of food and grass inside, and there is a lack of rescuers outside, how can it last for a long time?" "I have been thinking about it repeatedly, but I have no good solution.

was in trouble, but there was a brother who could ask for a book from the outside, and shouted: "Brother, Sister Xiaoqing has a letter to send!" ”

Yuan Yuan was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't it the land immortal of the Fold family, Fold Xiaoqing Fold Girl, who has arrived?" ”

Zhi Ketong said: "I was arranging the city defense, and suddenly Xiaoqing's sister and brother-in-law appeared beside me and handed me this letter, and the two of them drifted away!" ”

Hearing this, Zhen Keqiu rolled his eyes: "You are not handsome!" My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are all equipped with Taoism, hidden intrigues, and there are unpredictable opportunities, if they are here, you and I can sit high, and Linfu Road is foolproof - how did you let go of this great savior? ”

Zhi Ketong muttered: "It turns out that brother, you also know that your sister-in-law and brother-in-law have Taoist skills!" I want to tie them up to the castle tower, but can I do it? ”

Yuan Yuan and Xi Ni said: "You don't have to argue, it matters what is said in the letter first!" ”

So I opened the envelope and looked at it, and there was only one seven-word poem in the letter - "The flag and the wind are my home, and the swallows bloom when they fly." But Liangshan West Gate Qing, for the country to talk and laugh quietly. ”

"Liangshan Ximen Qing?!" Everyone couldn't help but speak in unison.

The Fold brothers thought, "We're so staying! Why didn't you think of this Sanqi boy earlier? Brother-in-law Yan Qing was also the leader of Liangshan, and Liangshan and the Zhe family are not outsiders! Today, it is difficult to fold the family, if you ask for Liangshan, the son of Sanqi Ximen Qing is very righteous and will be able to help! Just ......"

Seeing the eyes of the brothers of the Zhi family looking at him, Yuan Yuan waved his hand and said, "The chaotic life of the faint monarch has been reversed, why do you care about so many others?" What if Ximenqing is a thief? At least this thief did not cede land to foreign countries! If you can ask for help from Ximenqing and relieve the siege of Linfu Road, I have nothing to say! ”

At the same time, Yuan Yuan thought in his heart: "This letter was written by the famous fairy girl of your family, it is the will of heaven!" If I am against the will of Heaven, am I not looking for thunder? Lao Tzu's head, I'd rather suffer from a knife than a thunderbolt! ”

So the two plans have been decided, Zhe Ke asked to get off the horse, sent someone to summon the two cousins Zhi Meifeng and Zhi Meiluan, and ordered them to hold Zhi Xiaoqing's letter, and quickly went to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and moved troops to Ximenqing, the son of Sanqi.

Shuangshu received the order, carried the blade dry food, and the two of them rode in four, all the way to the Central Plains. On this day, when I arrived at Liyang Prison in Weizhou, I was sleepy and tired, and I didn't expect to bump into a group of people and horses. In the blink of an eye, knives and guns were already surrounding him, and someone asked, "Who is coming?" Dare to mess with our army? "This is exactly what it is:

Unsolved in the future, a city is doomed, and the seer sees that his life is in danger at this time. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
