Xiazhou and Lingzhou are all fortified cities in the world, the Xia army can't hold on wholeheartedly, but the Song army wants to conquer it but it takes time, the grain road is unstable, and the collapse of the army is only in an instant. Wu Yingying's cavalry was the elite of the Tubo Uighur tribes, and if they only fought in the desert and the sea, it would be as simple as a pack of wolves attacking the sheep, and the only way was to send a large number of troops to protect the grain team.

"The ears and eyes of the Imperial City Division around you didn't see you in contact with the envoy of the Xia Kingdom, did you?" Cao Han asked casually. "The general rest assured, when I met with the envoy of the Xia Kingdom, I also put my eyes on the intersection of the streets and alleys. Cheng Changan bowed down. "Well done, be alert these days, wait until the northwest land, and let you wait for trouble. Cao Han nodded, and several generals from the military around him laughed meaningfully. This time, Cao Han went out of the northwest ring of Qingjingyan, and they were under the command of General Cao, so they naturally rose. Back then, Cai Han went beyond the south of the town and connived at the soldiers under his command to rob men and women in the countryside, and the officials did not investigate it deeply.

"Since Wu Yingying is willing to send it, let's laugh and accept it," Cao Han's face sank like water, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table, "While serving the people to build more forts in the Yanjing area of Huanqing, while receiving the war horses and armor of the Xia State for training, after a few years, the border preparations will be full, and then step by step, the walled fort will advance to the Dingyan army." "Wu Yingying was a tiger general before he was called the king of Xia, but after he became the king, his courage seemed to have become smaller, and he constantly sent envoys to contact Cao Han's troops to stop the war, which made Cao Han feel contempt, it seems that this person is just like this, he just wants to steal the northwest and be a soil emperor. Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that it was necessary to preserve the strength of the major affairs of the DPRK and China, but with your repeated offenses against the Cao family, I would not have interacted with you as soon as I arrived in the northwest.

The next day, in the study room of Wu Yingying's mansion, Shi Yuanguang, the captain of the Chengying Battalion, reported to Wu Yingying about the contact with the envoy and Cao Han.

"What Cao Han plans in his heart, and don't care about it. Wu Yingying smiled with satisfaction, "The so-called can show what you can't, and you don't use it." He took 5,000 horses and played together for a few years. For me, it is more cost-effective than paying tribute to the imperial court. By the way, did he promise to open the border trade?" Shi Yuanguang vaguely guessed that Wu Yingying was deliberately inducing Cao Han to constantly report to the imperial court the false military information of defeating the Xia army, so that the imperial court despised the Xia state, and replied: "They said that if we promised to give him 200,000 yuan in military money, then we would restrain our subordinates from harassing the past business travelers. Wu Yingying couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, and said: "Cao Han is really an ordinary greedy for money, this can be promised, but the war horses and money can't be given enough at one time, just say that our army's money and food are also tight, and we must give it every year, one thousand war horses and fifty thousand yuan of money at a time, if the business travel is disturbed, the army money will be deducted." As long as the forbidden army stationed in Tun does not care, the officials of Zhulu in Shaanxi will not be unable to get along with money, especially Huanzhou and Gyeongju. ”

Shi Yuanguang also smiled when he heard this, after the Anxi army captured the five states of Dingyan, they immediately conducted an unprecedented trial on all the captured party nobles and their families, and in a few months before and after, the Tuoba clan and the henchmen who depended on the Tuoba clan, and those who had blood debts on their hands such as the White Feather Army, the Huanqingxiang army and the civilian husbands, and ordinary Han slaves were all executed, and then the documents of the trial and the situation of the criminals were secretly sent to those Huanzhou, In addition, Zhao Jiong allowed Cai Keyuan, Cai Kexian and their subordinates who escaped to eat Huanqing, and also gave him official positions, so that the hearts of the people in the entire Huanqing area almost completely fell to Wu Yingying. Officials also turned a blind eye to the trade between the people and the Xia Kingdom, and many even held shares in Fuhaixing.

"The last general estimates that Cao Han is just imagining a relationship with us, he is actually accumulating strength, and finally wants to start a war with us. Shi Yuanguang saw that Wu Yingying was too relaxed, and couldn't help but remind. Wu Yingying nodded approvingly, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, the Chengying Battalion and the Military Intelligence Department must closely monitor the movements of the Song army in Yanjing Prefecture in Huanqing, and the sugar jujube has already been given, if they dare to cross the line to provoke, I will teach them another lesson." Both laughed.

Wu Yingying returned to the inner room and saw that Huang Wen was concentrating on painting, but it was not the "Dunhuang Buddha Picture" in the past Long scroll, but like a comic book painting in general Buddhist paintings, the more you look at it but feel more familiar, the name of this painting is called the dream of the country to break the report of grace, it is about a young general by the king's acquaintance, and the palace maid who passed the decree of love, and then the country was destroyed by the enemy, the general who escaped had a dream, dreamed that the king and his wife were captured, the queen will be humiliated by the enemy emperor, so the general asked a friend chivalrous warrior to save the queen and the palace maid, and the palace maid became a husband and wife, but always treated the queen with courtesy, later, the general sent his subordinates to rescue the king, facilitated his family reunion, and repaid his kindness。

Just as she was about to admire, Huang Wen suddenly frowned and covered her chest, "What's wrong?" Wu Yingying held her hand, only to feel a little cold, Huang Wen's face appeared red, and said in a low voice: "I saw Lang Zhong yesterday, probably there is another child in the family." "Really?" Wu Yingying said happily, "Great." Huang Wen was a little at a loss when she saw him happy, but she was a little ashamed. Changing the topic, he pointed to the serial story, and said softly: "The concubine thinks, Your Majesty has been preaching with Mr. Zuoqiu in Shazhou Academy these days, talking about Zen with Master Jicong, and his state of mind should be peaceful, and he believes in Buddhism. "I hope so. Wu Yingying nodded, otherwise it would be really difficult to face Cai Yu, anyway, Liang Zuoqiu would ask him to be a bachelor in compiling music and poetry volumes.

While the two were talking, the outside reported that Cai Lang, the captain of the Jiaorong Military Academy, had come to bid farewell to the lord, Wu Yingying immediately let him in, and Huang Wen avoided the inner room. After Cai Lang entered the house, he bowed to Wu Yingying and saluted, calling His Majesty, Wu Yingying said: "There is no need to be polite, when there is no one else, it is better to ask the master to be useful." He saw that Cai Lang was still a little restrained, so he smiled and said: "Liang Zuoqiu is known as Tao Cai Manhexi, I only have one disciple of you, if you don't call it Master, this is a bit wrong." "He has been a handsome man in the past few years, and he can only entrust Cai Lang's civil and military studies to other masters, and he has not much time to really teach him, and he has no serious ability to teach him, so Wu Yingying also feels a little guilty in his heart.
