On the third day of the third month of March, a team of troops appeared near the Peach Blossom Spring, and the patrolling soldiers hurriedly reported to the steward Lao Bai, who did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to the eldest princess Li Lianqiao.

"How can it be so fast?" Li Lianqiao was also taken aback, she opened the portal and let herself come to the top of the mountain.

An army of probably more than 5,000 men was camped outside the mountain, with horses, trebuchets and ballistas.

"Offense? Madam? Lao Bai asked.

"There are so many people, there should be wizards to strengthen, how can they attack?" Li Lianqiao asked Lao Bai, and he was also asking himself.

The cliff-like mountains near the Peach Blossom Fountain are a miracle of sorcery, and while they keep the enemy out, it also prevents the wizards from raiding the enemies below.

"Send people to monitor the movement below, or let the enemy in to fight." Li Lianqiao made up his mind.

"This shouldn't be Xu Jin's main force," Li Lianqiao thought, "but how did he come so quickly?" ”

It is indeed a soldier who is very fast, because Xu Jin stepped on all the important points this time.

This year, the Bianhe River did not freeze, on the fourteenth day of the first month, Xu Jin led the troops from Bianliang, and at the beginning of February, Xu Yongzhi, who had joined forces with Murong Yanzhao and Li Chuyun, had already arrived at the boundary of Jingnan.

Murong Yanzhao is old, he doesn't like to take care of things, and he is very serious to his beloved disciple Xu Jin, so he simply handed over the power to give orders to Xu Jin, and Li Chuyun himself was also friendly to Xu Jin, so the Song army in the early stage was very united, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the strongest Song army in the next two hundred years.

The reason for sending troops was to pacify the civil strife in Hunan, so Gao Jichong, the lord of Jingnan, hurriedly sent an envoy to Lao Jun, Xu Yongzhi entertained the envoy well, and the envoy secretly sent someone to deliver a message, saying good news.

It was at this time that Li Chuyun led 3,000 cavalry to Jiangling.

Gao Jichong, the lord of Jingnan, was just twenty years old, and when he received a report from a messenger that the Song army was really going to fight Zhang Wenbiao, he relaxed his vigilance.

At that time, Jiangling City was in chaos, and some people said that the Song army only had cavalry, and they could be repelled with a bow and crossbow quickly, but Gao Jichong thought about it, and he was still serious that the Great Song Dynasty would not move himself, so he took the civil and military forces around him out to receive the order.

Li Chuyun controlled Gao Jichong and asked the soldiers to enter the city to take over.

The Song army took Hubei without blood.

After returning to Tokyo, Zhao Kuangyin was happy, and Zhao Pu also twisted his beard and smiled.

That's how the battle has to be fought! Fight smart!

Zhou Baoquan of Hunan is an 11-year-old child, but there are so many hard hands around him, Yang Shifan is a veteran of the Zhou family, and when Zhang Wenbiao made a mess, he opposed Zhou Baoquan and asked Zhao Kuangyin for help.

"Wu Pingjun is the landlord of the king of people today, if the Song army is summoned in, this land will not be surnamed Zhou." Yang Shifan said.

Zhou Baoquan is 11 years old, what can he understand? Several old ministers were discussing, but in the end, it was Zhou Baoquan's mother, Mrs. Dong, who made the decision.

Who is Zhao Kuangyin, Mrs. Dong is not familiar with.

But Zhang Wenbiao is an unruly military leader, if he hits Langzhou City, he and his son are afraid that they will not be able to live.

At the same time, if Yang Shifan defeats Zhang Wenbiao, I am afraid that the real power of Hunan will also fall into his hands.

From ancient times to the present, only the widowed mother marries the general, and the general has no son, in order to maintain the possibility, just like the alliance of the Qing Dynasty Xiaozhuang, Dolgon and the Shunzhi Emperor.

In the end, Mrs. Dong made a decision to let Yang Shifan prepare to send troops, and at the same time ask Bianliang City for help, so that Zhao Kuangyin had an excuse to send troops to Hunan.

Yang Shifan is also powerful, on the twenty-eighth day of the first month of Yang Shifan, he has actually defeated Zhang Wenbiao's army, and Zhang Wenbiao was forced to commit suicide.

Mrs. Dong hurriedly sent a letter to her brother Dong Xingchuan to Da Song: "The fire has been extinguished, don't come to the fire brigade." ”

How can it be!

Dong Xingchuan met Murong Yanzhao's handsome camp on the road, and went to negotiate, but Murong Yanzhao refused.

"The task that the old man received was to send troops to Langzhou to protect Zhou Gongzi and his wife, if you don't let me go, you won't let me go? I think you may be Zhang Wenbiao's fine work, dodge a little, otherwise the old man will use military law to deal with you! ”

Dong Xingchuan understood that Hunan was in trouble now, so he hurriedly went straight to Tokyo and begged Zhao Kuangyin bitterly.

This time it is even more straightforward, and you can't see the emperor at all.

Zhao Pu looked at it: "Look, although Zhang Wenbiao has been defeated, the security in Hunan is very poor, so you have to send a team to station it and consolidate it!" ”

"Or ask for a face!" Dong Xing pleaded slowly.

"Do you know how many states there are in the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Pu asked.

Dong Xing was stunned for a moment.

"Fourteen prefectures, two hundred and forty-two prefectures, not including the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and thirty-seven military envoys," Zhao Pu said, "Your Langzhou is only one of more than two hundred prefectures, if every state and county magistrate sends someone to face the saint like you, then what can the official family do every day?" ”

Dong Xingchuan was stupid at that time, it seems that Yang Shifan is right, Zhao Kuangyin is going to destroy Hunan and nationalize it.

"Greet the army well, the future is easy to discuss, the official family is a benevolent monarch, and he will give a way." Zhao Pu said.

Dong Xingchuan came out of the Privy Council with a frown as if he had been beaten by frost, walked out of the door, and saw the solemn avoidance card, and a big man wearing a red official robe, iron wings, and a bearded face came down from the sedan chair.

Before Dong Xing came slowly, he carefully looked at the treasure statue of Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not wear a yellow robe, and he looked no different from the prime minister, if you don't know what the emperor looks like, this is troublesome.

So when Dong Xingchuan saw this person, he was taken aback, this must be an official family.

He saw that there were many people on the left and right, and he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Hooray! The subordinates have important things to do! ”

This sudden kneeling startled the people who got off the sedan chair.

Because he is not the emperor.

This person is none other than Kaifeng Mansion Yin and Jin King Zhao Guangyi, and suddenly someone knelt down and shouted long live, he was going to be in trouble.

But the people around him all had a laughing look in their eyes.

"This countryman regards King Jin as the emperor."

"But it's not surprising, the majesty of King Jin is indeed convincing."

"The two brothers originally looked similar, so it's not surprising to admit mistakes."

Zhao Guangyi raised his hand to let Dong Xing slow down.

"Lone is Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, not an official, don't mistake it, be careful of offending Tianwei."

"Lord Wang?" Dong Xing was stunned for a moment, but immediately he understood, this is also a wall to block the wind!

"The subordinate is the envoy from Hunan, Dong Xingslow, my family has asked to see the official family, but he has not been able to see him, so I implore the prince to save his life." Dong Xingshu said.

"You go to the house with Gu." Zhao Guangyi looked at it and said.

Dong Xingchuan hurriedly got on the horse, followed behind Zhao Guangyi's sedan chair, and came to the Jin Wang's mansion for a while, and the Jin King took him directly to the study.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"Is the imperial court going to take back Hunan?" Dong Xingshu said.

"Do you need to ask? Let your family not resist when you go back, and the official family will not embarrass him. Zhao Guangyi said.

"The Jiedu envoy is the nephew of the minister, and the minister asks the king of Jin to save his life!" Dong Xing knelt down slowly and kowtowed repeatedly.

"What's the benefit of watching a man kowtow to Yu Gu," Zhao Guangyi said contemptuously, "Can it be used as money?" ”

Dong Xingchuan immediately understood that the emperor could not bribe, because it was his to take back the land, but the prince could.

"Lord Wang, we are willing to take the money out!" Dong Xingshu said.

"Ten thousand taels." Zhao Guangyi casually reported a number.

"Yes, we're going to do that, how do we leave it to you?" Dong Xingshu said.

"Give it to me?" Zhao Guangyi said, "Leave it to me, can I order the army to come back?" ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"This money should be given to the official family, to the imperial court, this is a tribute to silver, the imperial court will use the army to quell the chaos in Hunan, and it is no problem for Hunan to pay some military expenses."

"Of course, of course!" Dong Xing nodded hurriedly, thinking to himself, the two brothers of the Zhao family can succeed, it is really not covered, you see that King Jin is also a belly of public heart.

"Then the king of Jin, you ...... We also give 10,000 taels, you see......"

"Do you feel lonely and short of money?" Zhao Guangyi said.

"The subordinates deserve death!" Dong Xingchuan hurriedly apologized.

"You have to have a number in your heart, King Jin is not short of money, if King Jin asks for numbers, you can't afford it."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"But after the opening of the city, Baoyi is still young, and the future is in Bianliang, so there should be a future. The official family does not kill people, but you have to let Baoyi guard the family wealth by himself, after a hundred years of the official family, if there are traitors who are worried about the Zhou family......"

Dong Xingchuan was simply creepy.

Dong Xingchuan was an honest man, not as shrewd as his brother-in-law, and he had never seen such a threat of renovation.

"The subordinate is blunt, and the king of Jin means ......"

"How young is Mrs. Dong this year?" Zhao Guangyi really tried to see the dagger.

"Shemei is twenty-seven years old." Dong Xingchuan hadn't reacted yet.

"Ah, it's the best of years," Zhao Guangyi said, "what about the color?" ”

"It's very small, it looks like it's in your early twenties."

"It's the same age as Lone, and when you return to the court, it's better to let the Dong family remarry me, so that Baoyi will become my son, and you will also come to my house as a curtain leader, at that time, the Zhou family, the Dong family, what are you worried about?"

Dong Xingchuan finally understood.

"Give the official family 10,000 taels, give me 10,000 taels, that's not good, I don't want money. But give the official family 10,000 taels, and the rest is mine, even the money and people are mine, that's okay! ”

This is the subtext of Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi loves his wife, not simply lustful or conquering, what he wants is very practical.

The money belongs to me, and when my son grows up, it can also belong to me, and a group of sons raised by themselves are dead soldiers who can be relied on in the future.

Dong Xing thought about it slowly, this matter is very important, even if his brother can call the shots, he has to go back and discuss with the Dong family.

"Let's discuss, let's go, what's your name?"

"Dong Xingzhuo."

"Then run faster! Don't wait for the war to start with the official army, then your family will be passive! Zhao Guangyi threatened.

"Hey!"

Dong Xing slowly trotted out all the way.

Zhao Guangyi smiled smugly.
