It is said that Yuan Hao led the Western Xia army to divide into several routes, wantonly attacked the border of the Song State, captured Jinming, Zhanping, Saimen, Anyuan, broke the Wulongchuan, burned and plundered, the Song army suffered heavy casualties, the people were displaced, and they fled to Zhongzhou, which was chaotic.

After the Xia army successfully captured Liu Fanbao, it continued to advance to Dingyuan Village, where the Zhenrong army was located, and the deputy envoy of Jingyuan Road led the army to fight, and divided the troops into four ways with the intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Western Xia army, and then met with the main force of Yuanhao, and the first battle was defeated, and the commander of the Zhenrong army died under the arrow.

The deputy envoy of Jingyuan Road led the remnants of the army to retreat to Dingyuan Village, but Yuan Hao blocked the grain route and return road of the Song army, and cut off the water source, and the Song army fell into a desperate situation, and barely resisted with the fortress.

Qingjian City relies on the dangerous terrain, the grain and grass water source should be self-sufficient, the whole people are good at bow shooting, the Western Xia Jianing army has repeatedly attacked and cannot be broken, so they have to find another place, Zhong Shiheng and Yizhi will evacuate the Jianing army, relieved, but received the Zhenrong army to break through at night, and was discovered by the Xixia army who were waiting for the day, and the news that Yuan Hao broke the far village.

The Zhenrong army was defeated, and 16 Song army generals including the deputy envoy of Jingyuan Road and more than 9,400 soldiers were all killed.

The Song army was defeated repeatedly, and the name of Yuan Hao was terrifying. Not only did Qingjian City fall into silence, but also the entire Song court fell into silence, and after the silence, the fierce debate was very loud. The courtiers were divided into three factions, one of which gathered troops and fought with all their might. One faction of lords spent a lot of money to win over the Jiaoguoluo, Uighurs, Liao, and Tibetans, and resisted them with all their might. There is also a faction responsible for compassion and compassion, and they attack and beat the little emperor every day, and even the entire Song Kingdom.

The two armies fought, and also frequently negotiated, Ye Lirong went to Yanzhou several times to negotiate with Fan Zhongyan, from just establishing a country, to rewarding silver treasures every year, to paying taxes in the field, etc., as the Western Xia army became more and more courageous, the appetite also grew.

I also got the news that after Wen Yanbo returned to Beijing, he overthrew Huang Dehe and his support in the court in one fell swoop, and all those involved were degraded and exiled, which was very happy. The Liu family was amnesty, and Liu Yisun asked himself to guard Jinmingzhai, and his family would come in the future. It's just a pity that General Liu Ping, who was far away in Xingqing Mansion, would rather die than give in and was given death by Yuan Hao.

Yizhi held up the Di Bao, and as he was reading this, Maitia opened the soft curtain and entered the house, and said to Yizhi: "Yeli Rongwan has sent the commander under his command to persuade him to surrender, and the city affairs will let you go to entertain him." ”

Hearing this, Yizhi put down the newspaper, got up and combed his hair on the bronze mirror, changed into a green silk shirt, and asked, "Can you send someone to inform the Master of Forgetting?" ”

Maitia said: "Master Forgetfulness has already taken a turtle painting, a basket of red dates, and a wax book, and hurried to Dingyuan Village, where Yeli Rongwan is located. ”

Yizhi nodded, and then walked to the mansion, and even the music workshop, heard the sound of sheng music and laughter from a distance, and entered the music room, Zhong Shiheng sat down, and the two judges on the left and right, the officials, and then the next head, the left and right were the Xixia envoys sent by Yeli Rongwan, a total of three, two men and one woman. Everyone was joking, and when they mentioned the matter of persuasion, Zhong Shiheng showed a depressed look, and he had no choice but to look like this.

When he stood beside Zhong Shiheng, Zhong Shiheng introduced her to everyone as his chamberlain, and ordered her to pour wine for everyone.

When she arrived at the female envoy, she looked at Yizhi with full eyes and said: "This man of the Song Kingdom is delicate and handsome, but he can compare to me." ”

Everyone laughed.

Zhong Shiheng sighed: "Speaking of men, the men in this party are really different, they all go up and down the mountains and go in and out of the streams. The wind and rain are not tired, the hunger and thirst are not sleepy, the pass is dangerous, and the gallop and shoot. Especially this Yuan Hao Lord, who is resourceful, brave and good at fighting, can be said to be able to write and martial arts, and can be called a collection of all the masters! ”

Zhong Shiheng sneered lightly when he saw the female envoy, glanced at Yizhi, and Yizhi went to pour wine for her.

The two envoys of the Song State echoed it, and counted the benefits of returning to Western Xia, Zhong Shiheng nodded, and sighed from time to time.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was full of stars, their faces were red, their hair was dizzy, and they hugged the courtesans and laughed and bragged.

Seeing that the female envoy was speechless, he gave Zhong Shiheng a look, Zhong Shiheng pretended to be crazy and drunk, hugged the courtesan, and quietly returned a look.

Remembering the order, he went to help the female envoy and said: "The envoy is drunk, so it is better for the subordinate to help him back to rest first." ”

The female envoy was drunk, and smiled for Yizhi: "Where do you want to help me rest?" Is it in your room? I'm not going to another stinky man's house. ”

Yizhi was stunned for a moment and said, "I have a good place for my own envoys." As he spoke, he picked her up, and the other two envoys came to tease and make fun of her. Yi sighed with emotion, and helped her out of the music workshop and went to the embassy.

The female envoy staggered, snorted with wine, and said: "I, my name, my name is Yeli Gu Meng, I am the king of Tiandu, Ye Li Yuqi, the twelve prison envoys and deputy marshal of the Jianing Army, Ye Li Rongwan, the most beloved little niece, and my noble queen aunt, everyone loves me." What about you, what is your name? ”

Yizhi said with a smile: "The villain's surname is Yan, and there are several strictnesses, and there is only one sister in the family, all of whom rely on Zhongcheng's affairs, and she is not as noble as the girl." ”

The two entered the house, Yeli Gu Mengmeng suddenly grabbed the placket of Yizhi's clothes, pressed her against the wall, and for a while the strength of the wine surged, squinted again, and said: "That, that Zhong Shiheng, what kind of thing, it's not to obediently obey us, you, you should, find a new future for yourself." ”

As he spoke, a pair of hands touched Yizhi's shoulders to his chest.

Yizhi was afraid of revealing his stuffing, so he hurriedly hunched his back and pulled to the side, circled around Yeli Gumeng, helped her to the kang, and said: "Lord Yuanhao is so brave, I am just a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, what can I do, I am afraid that it will be useless, so let's just follow Zhongcheng." ”

Yeli Gumeng took a sip and said, "He's a fart." ”

Yizhi echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, Zhong Cheng is a fart." ”

Yeli Gu Dream said: "I'm talking about the name of Yuanhao! ”

Yizhi didn't continue to talk.

Seeing her cowering in a dream, Yeligu pushed her to her feet and said, "You don't dare to say a word about him, it's really a waste!" ”

Yizhi smiled: "How dare I say that Lord Yuanhui is not." ”

Yeli Gu dreamed: "That dog thing, fought a few victories, really put himself down to the earth, no one listens to anyone's words, and cuts people if he says more, those tribal chiefs flattered in every way, and sent wave after wave of beauties, but he did not refuse to come, and accepted them all, and when he didn't fight, he indulged in wine, became more and more lawless, no one in his eyes, and he didn't want to think about it, with him alone, can he have now?" In the past, I walked on thin ice, and I forgot the days of relying on our Yeli clan. ”

Yizhi was stunned for a long time, and sneered: "I heard in the past that he is not such a person, why did his temperament suddenly change drastically." ”

Yeli Gumeng squinted at Memories, stomped his feet and shouted, "Who knows...... Suddenly it changed...... It's hateful, Daddy still tried his best to marry me to her, but the bastard said, it's okay to enter the teaching workshop, there is nothing around! What are you doing with me again! for fun? ”

She stumbled and climbed onto the kang, still cursing Wei Mingyuan in her mouth.

Yizhi tucked the embroidery jacket for her, and when he heard her snoring slightly, he gently retreated. She stood under the eaves corridor for a long time, and saw the blue sky faintly, a round of the moon in the west of the treetops, there was a colorful moon halo under the moon ring, under the moon, slightly dragging a few thin golden clouds, more and more reflected the moonlight brilliant.

When she guessed that maybe Wei Mingyuan became what she is because of me, she didn't feel that her heart was up and down, cold for a while, and warm for a while. Remembering what Zhang Yuan had said for a while, Wei Mingyuan was violent and violent, and someone needed to be gentle and fertile in order to maintain prosperity forever, and she didn't feel cold all over, she frowned and muttered: "Can I?" Can I? After a while, he shook his head again and said, "I can't do it...... I don't dare. ”

But said that Zhang Yuan learned that Qingjian City had sent a messenger to visit, and first went to Yeli Rongwan's big tent, and he didn't feel a little surprised, sure enough, after a short time, Yeli Rongwan sent someone to tie up the messenger and all the gifts he brought, and sent them to his face, and he knew a little more in his heart.

He looked at the shiny monk standing at the foot of the hall and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The monk said: "The little monk forgot to recite the Dharma number. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Why did you come here?" ”

Forgetting to read the female envoy standing on the left side with both eyes, when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "Mr. Huiyu, Song Ting admires the prestige of Lord Yuanhao, and intends to recruit An, so he sent me here." ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "I heard that you were in the big tent of Deputy Marshal Yeli, and you said that the Song Dynasty intended to recruit Deputy Marshal Yeli." ”

Forget to open his mouth, for a long time, hehe smiled: "Then, Deputy Marshal Yeli is not, I don't want to." ”

Zhang Yuan frowned and said: "Why did Song Ting send such a person as you to ......" Xu Xuan said: "Don't talk nonsense, hand over the letter." ”

Forgot to recite, "What letter?" ”

Zhang Yuan snapped the case and shouted: "You dare to pretend to be stupid, you clearly privately clipped Zhong Shiheng's letterhead to visit Deputy Marshal Yeli, hand it over quickly, and suffer less." ”

Forget to chant hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, really not!" ”

Zhang Yuan ordered the left and right to be punished with a cane for forgetting to recite, and forgetting to recite was so painful that he cried out to the ground, but he was full of unjust death. Zhang Yuan then let the left and right stop, and asked again and again, forgetting to recite and repeatedly deny, Zhang Yuan had to order to beat again, to be punished with a cane, forgetting to recite is still full of unjust death to me, and said: "My monk was born in the temple since he was a child, grew up in the temple, and he has not suffered any crimes, but today he has suffered everything!" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "What is this, if you don't tell the truth, there are still benefits and disadvantages for you to see." ”

Forgetting to recite and hating and regretting, he scolded: "Brother Shiheng, you have hurt me!" ”

Zhang Yuan frowned and smiled, and said, "In that case, what are you still hiding for him?" Hand over the letters, there are a lot of them. ”

Forget to read and gritted his teeth, and said: "No, although my monk has grown so big, he relies on Brother Shiheng to protect him, he has not kept the precepts for a day, he eats meat every day, drinks wine every day, and has official prostitutes to play with me, this blessing has been enjoyed, and I should suffer some guilt for him!" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "It can be seen that there are really letters." ”

Forgetting to read in surprise, Yuan stared, covered his mouth, and hurriedly said: "I, I, I didn't mean that." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Then what do you mean?" ”

I forgot to think about it for a long time, but I didn't pay attention for a while, belched, and said, "Fight, fight, fight!" ”

Zhang Yuan saw that he didn't let go, and then ordered torture, and fought from the afternoon until the sun set, forgetting to recite that his breath was dying, and he only had the strength to hum. Zhang Yuan ordered someone to feed him a mouthful of ginseng soup to continue his life, and then interrogated him again and again.

Forgetting to chant in a blur, he hummed: "It's all to blame on that treacherous dog thing, it was originally a good thing...... Why did you see that this side has suffered a defeat, and you will regret it when you say that you regret it. ”

Zhang Yuan frowned and said, "What did you say?" ”

Forget to recite and stop saying no more.

Zhang Yuan exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "It can be seen that if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and then you will be punished!" ”

Forget to chant raised a hand tremblingly, and sighed: "Don't ...... Stop it...... I really can't bear it......" while muttering again, this can't be blamed on me, it's all that ungrateful thing, I've carried it for so long, and I'm also benevolent and righteous, and I don't owe it to you. ”

With his eyes half-open, he cheered up and said to Zhang Yuan: "Ye Li Yuqi and Ye Li Rong have the heart of the Han Dynasty, and they have been secretly negotiating with Yanzhou Fan Daguan for a long time, and now the Song court is willing to use him as the envoy of the Xiazhou Festival, and the food is ten thousand hangings, and the festival is already in Yanzhou, so I ordered Zhongcheng to let me bring the jujube painting turtle to him to find him early."

If you don't believe it, go and ask the generals under his command if they eat wine and meat in Qingjian City, and you see that he can't answer......"

I took out the letterhead for a while, and sure enough, I forgot to recite it.

Zhang Yuan pondered for a long time, and sneered: "Deputy General Yeli sent an envoy to Qingjian City to persuade him to surrender, but I know it. Isn't this your counter-plot? ”

Forget to chant and said: "What kind of trick, what kind of trick can you send me, my big monk knows a fart!" ”

said and chattered: "No wonder Naye Li Rongwan is drunk and nonsense, saying that you are just a bad scholar who has no ambition in the Song Kingdom, and after reading two broken books in my heart, I really think I am a character!" If it weren't for the clumsy Mingyuan, I would have to reuse you and let you lead the Jianing Army. If it weren't for you, this Qingjian City would have been beaten to pieces by him, if he wasn't disappointed, why would he be Xiang Song. Hmph, it seems that you are really a piece of waste today! ”

Zhang Yuan shouted angrily: "What are you talking about! ”

Forgot to recite and said: "He also said that you, never touch women, maybe who are you still thinking about, sooner or later one day you will also betray Xia, Wei Mingyuan is blind in the eyes of a dog, but he treats you as a treasure, and one day he asked someone to take the head in his dream, I don't know!" ”

Zhang Yuan was about to reprimand, when he suddenly saw Yuan Hao's calm face, striding into the big tent, he was not shocked, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Vulture pawn!" ”

Yuan Hao waved his hand and said softly: "Lock this monk in a dry well." ”

Obey the orders left and right, and drag the forgotten recitation down.

Zhang Yuan's heart was shocked, and he even expressed his loyalty.

Yuan Hao just calmed down and said, "I've listened to it for a long time, and it seems that Mr. Zhang doesn't believe that Yeli Rongwan will betray Xia. Mr. Song, do I really think highly of you? ”

Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time, and had to say: "Vulture soldiers, the Western Xia army is becoming more and more courageous, and the Song side is caught off guard again and again, and the prestige of the vultures makes the Song army frightened. I selfishly admire, and I know that following the vultures will definitely accomplish great things. pushed himself again, and thought of why Deputy Marshal Yeli rebelled against Xia. ”

Yuan Hao looked at Zhang Yuan with two eyes, and said: "We have fought so far, but we are only grinding on the border of the Song Realm, and we have suffered countless casualties, Western Xia is only such a little manpower, how long can it take to keep up with the Song Kingdom?" Now that the field is closed, the tax revenue is gone, the goods are gone, and the court's rewards are gone, and the income is beyond the means. Jiaoluo and Song are in power, and they frequently sneak up behind us.

Don't say it's Yeli Rongwan, I want to negotiate peace. It's just that the conditions have not yet been negotiated. ”

Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded.

Yuan Hao said again: "Pass my order, cut off the head of Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Rongwan, seal it and send it to Yanzhou, and kill the Yeli family." He thought about it again and said: "Take away the position of Empress Yeli Yurong, his brother is dead, I don't think she wants to live alone, a glass of poisonous wine, give her death......" Xu Xuan smiled: "Let the internal chamberlain Mr. Wu personally execute." ”

Zhang Yuan unconsciously raised his eyes to look at Yuan Hao, shocked and frightened for a while, and unconsciously happy and sighed.

Yuan Hao was stunned for a long time and said, "Send envoys again to Yanzhou to negotiate peace." ”

Zhang Yuan should be, just about to leave, Yuan Hao called him again, and said: "Mr. Zhang, let's go in person, just ask Song Ting, the first conditions, plus all the military fortresses and stockades I captured, are all included in the territory of Western Xia." If you can, make peace. After a while, he said: "I don't want to fight, it's boring." ”
