In the Longmei Palace in Shangjing of the Liao State, Emperor Ye Luxian's face became more and more pale, and he looked at Xiao Xuan with some concern, and said: "There is news from Xijing Road, the Han Wu Hero destroyed the Black Khanate of the Western Regions that had sent envoys to pay tribute, and now his army has built a city in Xiaohai to graze, and the grassland tribes in the west, except for those who surrendered, were driven to the east and the more remote Mobei, Xijing Road has fought several battles with the tribes who moved eastward, and some tribes have also passed through Xijing Road and continue to migrate eastward, and they are about to reach Tokyo Road. ”

Xiao Xuan frowned slightly, drank a cup of fresh deer blood to serve Ye Luxian, and said: "The Xia country is vast, there are advantages and disadvantages, he has expanded his land for thousands of miles, he is busy conquering various tribes, and he is temporarily unable to go west. Those steppe tribes who moved eastward might as well order the Uji Enemy Lie Commander to subdue them, so as to suppress the Jurchen and Murowei tribes in the Tokyo Province. Ye Luxian nodded and sighed: "I am physically weak, and I can't go around hunting like the previous kings, declaring the prestige of the country, and making the barbarians of the Quartet have different hearts, which is really ashamed of my ancestors." Xiao Xuan carefully wiped the corners of his mouth for him and comforted: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the country has been prosperous and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. ”

Yelu Xianshen was weak and weak, and Xiao Xuan didn't talk long before he went to sleep, Xiao Xuan also had to review the folds for him, after the political affairs were handled, he put down his pen and closed his eyes for a while, and then called his henchman Sage and asked, "How is the situation going with Lord Han?"

"Lord Han is busy with political affairs, Mrs. Han has never been pregnant, and Old Lord Han has urged him to take a concubine several times, but Lord Han has not agreed. Sage replied cautiously. Xiao Xuan stared out the window, smiled, and sighed again.

At the same time, in the privy envoy's mansion of the Southern Yuan, Han Derang had just finished reading the detailed review of the situation in Hexi, and sighed: "I knew that my righteous brother was not a thing in the pool, Hexi was thousands of miles away, there were groups of healthy horses, sharp armor, warriors were used, and the momentum of the world has been completed, regardless of the Liao and Song dynasties, it is impossible to control the Xia Kingdom." It's good that our country is far away from him, I'm afraid that the arrogant emperor of the Southern Dynasty will have a headache. ”

"Folk rumors that the Xia country is heavy and brave, the capable are on the throne, the battle of the Gaoliang River the year before last, Wu Yingying broke off with a brigade alone, covering more than 100,000 Han people who moved inward, and the reputation was greatly enhanced. The general Guo Taibao frowned and said. Han Derang shook his head disapprovingly, and said: "How many people can go thousands of miles away? The land of Xia Kingdom is far away from Youyan, and no matter how popular he is, there are still a few Han people who can really go to Hexi." Youyan Han'er is neither used by the Khitan, nor is it tolerated by the Southern Dynasty, but God bless me Youyan Han'er, a hundred years of heroes, as long as you work with one heart and one mind, you can stand on your own. Whether it is the Khitan people or the Southern Dynasties, they can't despise Youyan Han'er. ”

After Guo Taibao said goodbye and left, Han Derang was still in the study to deal with the papers, heard the door knock slightly, Mrs. Cai walked in lightly, saw Han Derang looked up, lowered his head and whispered: "The concubine asked the maid in the room to boil a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and the master drank it while it was hot." Han Derang took the porridge bowl, only to feel that the cold and warm were suitable, and after drinking it dry in a few sips, he returned the porridge bowl to Cai's family, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, madam." Cai's eyes flashed with joy, took the small bowl and turned to leave, gently closing the door of the study. Han Derang watched her silhouette disappear from the window and smiled.

The moon and stars are scarce, and in the Guankou Temple in Shuzhong, Wang Qibo, the chief priest of the temple, gathered his powerful subordinates to discuss the preparation of the anti-Song Dynasty.

"Recently, the officials in charge of Bomai affairs have become more and more greedy, colluding with local tyrants and wealthy businessmen, and pressing down the prices of silk and tea again and again. Zhang Yu had an indignant look on his face, a few years ago, Song Jun copied the Erlang Divine Sect, beheaded the old Qibo Zhang Alang in public, and cut off both ears of Zhang Yu, who was in charge of contact, leaving only two ugly scars on both sides of his cheeks.

"The brothers who have been trained in the Xia Kingdom, the bow and horse equipment are already very proficient, and they have followed General Wu's expedition to fight the West Fanzi, Le Yang Fu patted his chest and said, now they can defeat thousands of forbidden troops with five hundred people, not to mention ordinary van troops. Du Yong, who was in charge of liaising with Xia Guo, said with an excited look, after asking Xiao Jiu for his consent, Le Yang Fu took him to watch the Jincheng camp drill, it is said that the Xia army drill is not much different from the real battle, and it is much more intense than the usual glimpse of the official and military drills, "Also, the little Shu king is now the centurion of the official residence in the Jincheng camp, and he has grown into a good man, both civil and military, and even the official position and age are longer than his Le Yang Fu is ashamed, and sighs that the revival of Shuzhong is hopeful." ”

"Very good," Wang An nodded slightly, insisting on sending the children of Shu Zhong to the Xia State military camp to experience and smuggle various goods with Hexi, which was the most correct decision after he succeeded Qi Bo, not only to train the backbone of leading troops to fight in the future, but also to prepare for the poor and accumulate a lot of weapons, grain and grass, "Then Wu Yingying didn't leave the Jincheng camp behind, or wanted to take the opportunity to annex Shuzhong, right?"

Du Yu was stunned for a moment, saw that Wang An's face was quite melancholy, and thought for a moment and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, the brothers in my sect have always set up a battalion alone, and they have not mixed a single sand up and down for several years. ”

Wang An nodded, sighed, and said: "It's not that I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it's really that the fathers and elders of Shuzhong have repeatedly suffered from foreign military disasters, and I really don't want to drive away a wolf and introduce a tiger. "For several years, Wang An has been running for Shuzhong, he looked at the face of Erlang Shenjun who was reflected in the incense in the temple, and his mood was also different, the Song State Committee was too strong, when the whole division of the general raised things, hundreds of thousands of followers, almost swept the whole Shu, but was still pacified by the forbidden army, and the rebellious Shu soldiers and fathers and villagers died countless times. It seems that to deal with the Song State, you have to rely on the power of the northwest.

Outside the window, the moonlight is like water, the cicadas buzz and chirp non-stop, occasionally the branches of the trees shake, there are night owls fluttering from the volley, the squeaky of the captured voles, and after a while, there is no sound. Earlier, the Black Khanate had the scourge of burning the city, and then through this all the way to preach the national prestige, all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions were intimidated, and then completely implemented the system of sergeants and gentry, although the nobles and gentry in various places were dissatisfied, they could only try their best to encourage the children of the clan to apply for the sergeant examination, and shelter their own families, and many tenants who were originally attached to the temples and families got out of it, migrated and took refuge in the shadow of the sergeants, and cultivated the land.
