Cai's words were as thin as gnats, but Han Derang was shocked, and when Cai's withdrew with a look of longing for happiness, he took out the secret letter that Wu Yingying wrote to himself and read it again from beginning to end:

“........ Hearing that my brother has the luck of Biyang Hou, I am gratifying. However, blessings and misfortunes lurk. The former Han Lu was favored by Mrs. Qi. In the future, if my sister-in-law is pregnant, she may not be able to be tolerated, if there is a case, although the Xia Kingdom is small, it can be a place for the descendants of the Han family......"

The bright afternoon sun shone in through the window, but Han Derang's face was cloudy, and after hesitating for a long time, he lit the candle, took Wu Yingying's letter to the candle, and watched it burn to ashes little by little, and the flickering candle flame reflected on his face, casting a distorted shadow.

Mrs. has the news of pregnancy, has become the biggest good news in the Han Mansion, Mrs. Han Zhang personally ordered the kitchen to renovate the ancestral fetal medicinal diet of the Han family for Cai's family, at dinner, affectionately pulled Cai to sit beside him, the cowardly Cai just wanted to stand up and serve soup and vegetables to her mother-in-law, and was sternly ordered by Han's mother Zhang to sit down honestly, not to move, so as not to hurt the fetus.

"Derang, don't look at the infinite glory and favor outside, if you have no heirs, in the end it will be empty, you are a long house, your daughter-in-law is angry, continue the incense for the Han family, pity your father, go three years early. Mrs. Han said with tears in her eyes, but Han Derang seemed to be absent-minded. On the contrary, he was considerate of Cai's doubling warmth. The concubines all said that this was because the Cai family had the flesh and blood of the Han family, which made the master feel distressed, in the final analysis, the child is the woman's dependence.

In the evening, Han Derang also took a rare leave and did not go to the palace to stay overnight, but stayed at home to accompany his wife. Cai Shi looked a little flattered, and waited for him to go to bed with a slightly red face. She usually sleeps alone, but tonight her husband is lying next to her, but she can't sleep. "Haven't you been sleeping well lately?" She heard her husband's warm voice in her ears, Cai felt a little embarrassed, the family pays attention to "food is silent, sleep is silent", and said in a low voice, "The concubine is a little flustered, husband, let's sleep peacefully." "It's okay, it's all my fault, I don't usually have a good student to take care of you. Han Derang's words made Cai's heart really flustered, she thought that Han Derang was blaming herself for occasionally resentful, "The concubine really doesn't resent her husband, the queen, she is smarter and more beautiful than the concubine, and she is younger than the concubine, and she has a marriage contract with her husband." Cai's heart was flustered, "The concubine is really not jealous," the more she spoke, the more she felt that she had said the wrong thing, and finally she cried profusely, "As long as the concubine has the flesh and blood of her husband, if she is fortunate to be a boy, she will raise him well and let him be a big hero like her husband." ”

Han Derang felt as if he had been touched somewhere in his heart, he sighed softly, stroked Cai's shoulder, and coaxed her to sleep. He himself didn't sleep well all night, and the night outside the window was quiet, and no one knew what this unborn hero among the Youyan Han people was thinking.

On the evening of the second day, news came out from the Han Mansion that Mrs. Cai's life was thin, and she accidentally fell and died after a miscarriage. A few months later, escorted by the Chengying Battalion and the Sergeant of the Military Intelligence Department, a bloated woman arrived in Shazhou in a carriage. "Since Han Derang is willing to entrust his heirs to His Majesty, in the future, our country will march into Guanzhong, and there will be no worries!" Gou Luo'an said excitedly, now Han Derang's position in the Liao State can be said to be below one person, above ten thousand people, if he obstructs it, or secretly communicates the news, the Liao State will not be too capable of attacking the Xia State.

"You have to be careful about this, when the army is outside, the Anton Military Division must guard against the sneak attack of the Liao people's light horses. Wu Yingying also smiled.

"The king of Shu sent people to spread the rumor that the Song people were becoming more and more exploited, and the people were struggling to make a living, hoping to start an incident earlier. Hook Ann continued.

"Let him be patient for the time being, especially when the Song and Liao are fighting, don't suddenly start an incident, otherwise it will evolve into a situation of cheap Khitans, and the Central Plains will be ruined, and we will not be able to redeem it, you tell him what I said." Wu Yingying frowned, Wang An's personality has always been too strong, jealous and hateful, if he is just the leader of a sect, it is fine, if he is planning to do big things, he will inevitably be too hasty.

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The Military Intelligence Department must grasp the process of the Song-Liao war, if the Battle of Guanzhong is launched too early, and the Liao people form a flanking attack, or even defeat the Song State in one fell swoop, we will be left behind for 10,000 years." Only after the Song State stabilized the battle line with the Liao people, we will enter the Guanzhong again. "Wu Yingying is not a one-on-one gentleman with Zhao Jiong, but is worried that if the Song State suddenly collapses under the attack, the Liao people take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, and Xiao Sui has Han Derang's assistance, this time it will not be as easy to be driven out as Yelu Deguang was back then. Wu Yingying believed that Han Derang would rather sacrifice his wife and children, and would do whatever it took to seize the great opportunity to unify the Central Plains.

According to the calculations of the Prime Minister's Office, the country's grain output increased by 3 to 5 percent, and the improved sheep and improved cotton promoted by the agricultural and animal husbandry Cao have all achieved good results. Other workshops such as iron smelting, weaving, masonry, carpentry and other workshops have also been greatly improved, under the stimulation of the three components, several large iron mines were found in the Western Regions, and the gold diggers also really found gold in the Altai Mountains, granting fields and gold, even under the strict order of the Song State to block the border, it also attracted many Guanzhong people to venture to migrate to the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and their footprints along the Tianshan Mountains to the west, even the number of Han people in the river is increasing.

With the strength of the Xia State, under the arrangement of the well-intentioned people in the Song Dynasty, the imperial court continued to increase troops to the northwest, but most of the troops that were drawn over were the new troops trained by Zhao Jiong's henchmen and generals in the past two years, and the old camp of the forbidden army that was transferred away was led by Shi Shouxin, Liu Yanrang, Cao Han and other generals.

Under the tacit peace between the two countries, even the forbidden army in Bianjing is faintly rumored that the Yanjing Huanqingzhou in the northwest of Tun is all poor in the United States, does not fight, and when you go empty-handed, when you return, your pockets are bulging, and the front line of the east and north of the Tunhe River is drudgery, not only do you not take black money, but you also have to fight with the Khitans all the time. At this time, it is no better than fighting on the battlefield five generations ago in exchange for the glorious favor of the wind, and now the man who sells his life only wants more money.

In the Gobi and desert stretching along the border, there are many places where the forbidden army and the Xia army secretly traded.

"What a good war horse, isn't it good to bring it back to Bianliang?" Liang Yuan, the captain of the Lu Military Academy, looked at the more than two hundred skinny war horses with regret, which was not like this when they were delivered to the Song people, although he bought back these war horses at a very low price, and he could get fat after raising them for a while, this transaction was very beneficial to him.

Long Jiejun Tian Gu was a little dizzy by the scorching sun on his head, Liang Yuan is an old dealer, both sides have delivered horses, shared private salt, and also divided the head of horse thieves, Xia Guoren is trustworthy, Tian Gu's trust in Liang Yuan is even more than many colleagues in the forbidden army. He scolded quite indignantly: "The confused officers of the military department only survey the horses they are allotted, and we are transferred to the defense, and after returning to Bianjing, not only do we have no additional income, but we also have to pay for the horses ourselves, and how can we support our families." ”

Liang Yuanqi said: "Brother Tian sold the horses to us, not afraid that Shangguan will blame him?"
