Chapter 46: The Flames of War Ignite

It is said that in order to frame Wei Mingji, he did not hesitate to provoke him to seriously injure himself, and when he was half-unconscious and dying, the dusty nightmare opened again.

When he woke up, he looked at the curved dome of the tent and was stunned.

Zhang Yuanhou was behind the screen, heard the voice, and asked, "What does the girl think?" ”

Yizhi stared at him, and after a long time, he said, "Anyway, I'm not dead." As he spoke, he moved slightly, and let out a soft wail.

Zhang Yuan started to make tea and said: "The girl is still too anxious, who do you want to sanction, there are many ways, and the one with the least loss is the first choice." ”

Yizhi was stunned and said: "The ancients said, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles." I am full of history and strategy, and when it comes to the end, it is reckless and unusable. As he spoke, tears flowed from his eyes to his sideburns.

Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "Wei Mingjili died, and the vultures cut off his head in public and hung it on the Jiaoque watchtower. ”

Yizhi was quite pleased, and said with a smile: "Okay, I've finally avenged you, I've finally avenged myself for you." It's a pity that I didn't kill it with my own hands. She raised her hands again to the candlelight and looked at the ten fingers.

Zhang Yuan said: "It was the vulture who saved the girl." ”

Yizhi said: "Mr. Zhang, I want to go home. Behind the screen, he was silent for a long time, and then heard him say: "Girl, the vulture has changed a lot for the girl. ”

Yizhi fell into thought and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are the Yuan Hao who defected to make meritorious contributions, and you know that I don't want him to attack the Great Song Dynasty. If he changes for me, it is not good for you, and why is he telling me this? ”

Zhang Yuandao: "The girl should know that among the twelve powerful and high-ranking officials in Western Xia, the Han people occupy seven, and there are only five in the party and Zhuqiang. It's just that none of the military officials such as the Twelve Supervisors and the Privy Council are Han Chinese. The Western Xia put force first, and the thoughts of the vultures were clearly revealed. Although the vultures held important positions as my internal attendants and went out with the army, many major military affairs were hidden from me. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "I am different from Wei Mingji, although I don't love the Great Song Dynasty, I don't hate the Great Song Dynasty in the end, I just haven't been successful for a long time, and there is no place for hating heroes." ”

Remembrance: "Mr. Zhang helped him reform internal affairs, establish a national system, innovate writing, establish an official system, and set the outline of the dynasty. Isn't that feat? ”

Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time and said: "Girl, the little emperor in the Song court can be good at calligraphy and painting, and his attainments are outstanding. Love to talk about the scriptures and discuss history, a feast will be held on the second day, the great Confucians of the Manchu Dynasty sit around the Ying Pavilion, discuss the art of war on the bookcase, and often argue with the ground red ears and red ears, what about it? If the sword slashes at them, what can they do but scatter them as birds and beasts? Pick up the book block?

The two countries are at war by virtue of red tape, not gorgeous writing, not benevolence, righteousness and morality. It's fists, it's strength, it's naked military combat capabilities. ”

Remembering the way: "So, Mr. Zhang wants troops. You don't want to be an empty and talkative minister. She paused and said, "But what does this have to do with me?" ”

Zhang Yuan raised his forehead with his hand through the screen, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty is willing to assist the girl." ”

Yizhi smiled bitterly: "You help me? I'm just a woman who is nothing and nothing, and you support me? Teach me how to blow the wind in my ears next to the vulture's pillow? No...... I'm going home and I don't want to stay any longer. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Girl, the Song court issued an edict to deprive the vultures of the title of the king of the Xiping Domain, demoted to the common people, and ordered the closure of all the fields opened to Xia on the border, and unveiled the list in the border areas.

The two generals of Yeli led the army to Linzhou, south of Liangzhou, and personally ordered 30,000 elite soldiers to attack the security army at night. ”

Yizhi was suddenly startled, and unconsciously opened his eyes.

Zhang Yuan said: "Can the girl watch the vultures attack the mother country, or can the girl watch the people on the border of the Song Kingdom being devastated by the war and their lives are devastated?" As far as I know, the girl's two elder brothers, one is the magistrate of Yanzhou, and the other is the governor of Jingyuan Road. Once the fight starts, they will bear the brunt of it. ”

I only felt that I was hot inside, and I couldn't answer for a while.

However, it was said that Yuan Hao personally ordered 30,000 elite soldiers, attacked the security army at night, and the Song army soldiers met the battle, but it soon showed a rout, and the general Liu Huaizhong was beheaded by Sunuer, and the Xia army was unstoppable.

Suddenly, there was a man from the defeated army, riding a horse and raising a spear, and went out in the opposite direction, the man was cloak and scattered, wearing a bronze mask, fierce as a rakshasa, the spear swept away, and galloped and killed, everywhere he went, no one could match it, and he was unstoppable. That person fought with Yuan Hao again, several back and forth, not equal.

He was as powerful as a mad tiger, and Yuan Hao might as well be picked in the shoulder by a shot.

I don't know who cheered: "Wu Sha Xing, that's Wu Sha Xing!" God opened his eyes, Wu Shaxing went down to fight for us, and he was bound to exterminate the Western Xia clown! ”

The Song army was suddenly inspired, and they picked up Changge and long swords one after another, and threw themselves into the war again.

Xia Jun saw that Yuan Hao was injured, and heard that the other party was called Wu Shaxing descended to earth, frightened, bluffed out of mind, Yuan Hao saw that the situation was reversed, under a fierce battle, both sides were killed and wounded more than half, but the Xia army was disheartened, and had no intention of responding to the battle, so he just fled, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected, and withdrew to the camp with the rest of the remnants.

In today's battle, Yuan Hao intended to be tempted, he thought that the Song people were weak and could be bullied, and he did not make a successful plan. I didn't expect such a fiasco, and suddenly lost nearly half of the men and horses on the expedition, not to mention, I was also slightly injured, and I suddenly felt depressed and full of anger.

He returned to the big tent with Sunur, Zhang Yuan had already received the news and rushed over, he saw Yuan Hao hanging up the color, his face was full of gloom, his eyes stared at the sand table, while thinking, while stepping forward.

Yuan Hao said: "The security army is to the west, the ditches and mountains are ravines, and the terrain is complicated. It is not easy to break through, and to the east of the security army, it is Yanzhou. The terrain is open, and it is garrisoned by scholars like Fan Yong who only know how to dance and write, so we immediately set off to attack Yanzhou. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Wu pawn, the preface fortress of Yanzhou is Jinmingzhai, and the general stationed in Jinmingzhai is Li Shibing, a major clan of the party, and he commands the soldiers and horses of more than a dozen Qiang tribes such as Jinming, which is easy and difficult to break!" If you fight again, you don't have to rush for a while, and you should plan to ...... again."

Sunur grabbed Zhang Yuan's shirt and lifted him up, and said: "Plot your grandmother's plan, you Song people will say that the time has not come, what will you Song people say!" He threw Zhang Yuan aside and said, "Vulture, let's set off immediately and attack Yanzhou instead!" ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Vulture, don't do it!" ”

Yuan Hao broke off and shouted: "You shut up for me!" ”

Zhang Yuan was frightened and didn't dare to say anything more.

Yuan Hao was silent for a long time, and said: "Pass my order, and set off immediately to Jinming Village." ”

Yuan Hao gave an order, and the army advanced towards Yanzhou again. The old wounds have not healed, and they have been on the road day and night in the cold winter, and they have been exhausted all day long. Yuan Hao traveled when he was busy, and when he was free, he made sand table deductions with the generals, and he didn't see her.

The knot in the heart of the memory was not solved, and I did not want to see him, and after about two or three days' journey, the army set up camp in a wide area near Jinming Village.

Fang was stable, Yizhi was taking medicine, and suddenly saw Zhang Yuan break into her camp, and said angrily: "In the end, it is a border nomadic clan, ignorant and reckless, and he knows that it takes the right time and place to fight, he doesn't occupy half a point, but he only knows how to fight, fight, fight!" ”

Memories glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The vultures led the army to attack Jinmingzhai again. ”

Yizhi was stunned and asked: "The first battle was defeated, and I hurried day and night to settle down, just when the army's heart was unstable and the energy was weak, why did I have to fight again?" ”

Zhang Yuan picked up the wine cup on the table, smashed it on the ground, and thrashed the case: "Hateful, hateful!" Whoever listens to me, listens to me! ”

Yizhi sighed, until the twilight was deep, and he couldn't sleep, and he listened to Yuan Hao leading the army back, and he didn't feel that he went out of the camp tent to see, and he really returned defeated, and saw a decadent trend, the declining army was defeated, and he complained.

Yuan Hao rode a horse and walked past the eyes of Remembrance without looking at her.

Seeing that it was difficult for him to become a climate, he fell into confusion, and thought of leaving for a while, so he silently turned around and returned to the camp.

Suddenly, a few days passed, and the memory could occasionally hear the voice of complaining, and more soldiers admired Li Shibing, and absconded with the crowd to join Jinmingzhai, thinking more and more, not knowing what to do.

In the middle of the night, she was sitting on the felt folding her clothes, Yuan Hao opened the curtain and came in, and saw that there was only a charcoal basin burning in the tent, and the cold invaded her muscles and bones, and it was not much different from the outside of the tent. Unconsciously, he walked around the tent again, stood still in front of her, and asked, "I'll send someone to send you to Yanzhou, Shi Jie is there, he will take good care of you." ”

Yizhi's hand paused, sighed softly, and asked, "What about you?" How are you going to do it? ”

Yuan Hao was silent for a long time and said, "I don't know yet. ”

Yizhi unconsciously raised his head to look at him and said, "You should listen to my advice, what's wrong with being your king of Xiping in peace." ”

Yuan Hao sat down next to Yizhi and said with a smile: "What about you, what are your plans?" ”

Yizhi whispered, "I don't know. ”

Yuan Hao said: "If you go back, no matter what, your father and brother will be willing to accept you, but it's a pity that you have a good relationship." ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time, speechless.

Yuan Hao asked again, "Do you miss him?" ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time before he said: "All this happened too fast, there is no way to think too much, and I dare not think too much...... After a few days of silence, I began to plan for myself and think of him. He sneered again: "A character like him will naturally be better suited to him." ”

She was silent for a long time, and said to Yuan Hao: "You ask the Song State to surrender, promise never to be the enemy of the Song State again, and guard the border for Your Majesty with peace of mind, Your Majesty is benevolent, and the Manchu Dynasty ministers are not willing to fight, so they will not be blamed more." ”

Yuan Hao said: "Tomorrow, I will ask Song Shangshu to surrender." ”

Memories asked, "Really?" ”

Yuan Hao said: "You can go back with the envoys." ”

Yizhi was stunned, she stared at Yuan Hao for a long time, Yuan Hao smiled and rubbed her cheek, and then stood up and left.

Remembering that her heart was empty, as if something was missing, she thought, go back...... What are you going to do when you go back...... Continue to be the lady to be married in the boudoir, doing nothing all day long, reciting poems, shopping and playing? I have lost my reputation and my virginity, and to go back will only undermine my father's majesty. I'm afraid that outsiders can't tolerate me, so I can only accept the grievances of a few brothers in the courtyard, and they will not have a second word, but ...... Does it really have to be this way?

Thinking like this, he fell asleep unconsciously, and even the next day, with the young general Wei Ming Shouquan under the command of Yuan Hao, led more than a dozen cavalry to Jinmingzhai together, and the group walked along the Gobi Pingchuan for half a day. Entering the foothills again, passing through the river, the name Shouquan let everyone rest by the river for a while, remembered the horse, stepped on the bank of the river formed by stones, and went to the river to get water.

She filled her skin with water, sat down on the large boulder on the bank, and watched the bubbling river.

He followed, sat down on another big rock, and said, "I'm going home, is the girl happy?" ”

Yizhi glanced at him and sneered: "What's there to be happy about going home with a brow on your face?" ”

Wai Ming Shouquan laughed and said, "He's hateful, isn't he?" ”

Remembering frowned.

"He poisoned his mother, killed his wife, and the children who were still in infancy, uncles, cousins, and none of them could be spared. Such a ruthless person, can't he be hated? ”

I couldn't understand his intentions, but I didn't say anything.

Wei Ming Shouquan said: "Wei Ming Shanyu is my mentor, I lost my father since I was a child, and he is just like my father. After his death, Wei Ming Yuanhao tried me several times, but I got away with it. Because I know that you Zhongzhou people have a saying, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. ”

Yizhi suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed, "You don't plan to send a letter of surrender, are you planning to defect to Li Shibing?" ”

Wei Ming Shouquan nodded with a smile and said: "When we arrive at Jinmingzhai, Wei Mingyuan will also receive news that the envoy he sent to sue for peace was detained in Jinmingzhai, and the Song court did not accept his request for surrender. Guess what will happen to him? ”

Memories jumped in his heart and said, "You're provoking a war!" ”

He smiled, "I just hope he doesn't die well." ”

Remembering the way: "You're not afraid that I will tell others? ”

Hona Shouquan smiled: "Who do you tell?" Even if you tell the truth and send a letter of surrender, it is unknown whether your little emperor is willing to spare him, and if you don't, you will be labeled as collaborator and treason, and at that time, not only you, but also your father and brother will be implicated. If it were me, I would never say. After a while, he smiled again: "Wei Mingyuan has harmed you like this, you should also hate it to the core." ”

Yizhi only felt frightened, and said: "If he learns that the Song Dynasty will not accept his request for surrender, what will he do, most of his troops have been killed and wounded, and most of them have fled, and there are only fifty or sixty thousand soldiers in his hands, and he can't break through Jinmingzhai with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, what can he do now?" ”

Wei Ming Shouquan sneered: "Who cares about him? ”

Everyone set off again, wading through shallow water, and finally arrived at a dangerous place surrounded by mountains, Jinming Village.

The soldiers on the horn were full of strings and ready to go, and the sound of the famous Shouquan shouted surrender, and its sound resounded through the valley.

When Li Shibing learned that someone claimed to be the only daughter of Yan Shu, the governor of the current dynasty, who had been missing for many months, he personally received him, and then took a portrait to identify him for a long time, but he felt that his face was haggard, depressed, and devoid of brilliance, and he could barely recognize it.

Wei Ming Shouquan gushed out his admiration for Li Shibing, and exaggerated his heroic color of galloping on the battlefield when he fought against the Western Xia army.

Seeing that Li Shibing was very useful, she didn't feel even more worried, she looked at Wei Ming Shouquan, and thought in her heart, if it was her father, what would he do? He knew that I was burdened by the dungeon, but after learning that I was taken away by the Western Xia detectives, the first thing he thought of was that there would be trouble, even if my whereabouts were unknown, even if he vomited a mouthful of blood in a hurry, he also held on, entered the palace to face the saint, negotiated with His Majesty to deploy troops, and deployed border defenses.

He has always been like this, putting others before himself, and the country before his family. I don't blame him for that.

If he knew that Wei Mingyuan was bent on seeking peace, and was framed by others, thus causing war, I am afraid that he will also accuse me of not reporting it.

Thinking about it like this, I didn't feel a righteous breath in my heart, and I suddenly said: "General Li, you can't believe this person's words!" I was not saved by him, he was an envoy sent by the famous Yuan Hao to sue for peace, and because of personal grudges, he deliberately harbored and did not say anything. ”

Li Shibing drank the order, and all the soldiers suddenly fought against each other.

Because his weapons were confiscated, he could only guard with his bare hands, he sneered and said: "This woman is a woman with a name for Yuanhui, she begged me bitterly, saying that she was persecuted by Yuanhui and just wanted to go home, so I took her away." Now it seems that she is thoughtful, if she succeeds in framing me today, she will be able to cooperate with the outside tomorrow and help Wei Mingyuan Hao to attack Jinming Village, and her words will not be believed! ”

For a while, there were also Changge who came from all directions to point to memories.

Yizhi didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only cautiously repeat what he said by the river, and said: "General Li doesn't believe it, you can search his body, and you will be able to find the letter of surrender written by Wei Mingyuan Hao!" General, if you fall for this person's trick and cause unnecessary war between the two countries, lose your troops in vain, and not mention the people on the border who are implicated in the war, if you make the grievances and grievances deeper, the harm will be indescribable! ”

Li Shibing ordered someone to search his body, and Wei Ming Shouquan raised his hands to be searched, but after half a day to no avail, for a while, everyone was suspicious and remembered.

Yizhi frowned unconsciously, and thought, "He must have lost his ...... It can be seen that there are precautions in place. ”

Wei Ming Shouquan sneered: "You are bloody and slander me for concealing the truth of Wei Mingyuan's request for peace, and there is no evidence. But I said that you are a woman with a name for Yuanhao, witnesses abound, you had a quarrel with a commander in the Xixia military camp, and the name Yuanhao killed him for you, and hung his head on the horn, and any soldier who surrendered to the Xixia Dynasty could testify! The tired general gathered people to see who was lying! ”

Memory: "My father was born in the Taizong Dynasty, all the way through the state test, the provincial test, at the age of 14 as a prodigy into the palace test, Taizong appreciated, gave the same Jinshi background and prince to study, stay in the pavilion to study. At the age of 30, he founded Suiyang Academy, and his students are full of peach and plums, and now the powerful are in charge of political affairs. I grew up in Bianjing, and I was favored by the emperor, so why would I help a foreigner attack his home country! ”

Wei Ming Shouquan said: "Why? How do I know why? Maybe the men in Xiazhou can make you ...... more" said, sneered again, and said to Li Shibing: "She and Wei Mingyuan have been messing around in the camp tent all day long, stirring up the whole army, and the Xia army has been defeated repeatedly, I think more than half of the reason is on her!" ”

Memories said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! ”

Wei Ming Shouquan said: "Is it nonsense, just ask someone to know!" ”

Yi Zhiyuan's eyes widened, like a fish in his throat.

Li Shibing watched the two arguing, and overheard a report from the detective, saying that Wei Mingyuan led the army and turned around to attack the security army.

Wei Ming Shouquan squinted his eyes and sneered: "You said that he asked for peace, and in the blink of an eye he went to attack the security army, so it can be seen that the sky can't bear to let me be wronged!" ”

Yi Zhi hurriedly said to Li Shibing: "It's him, it must be him who spread the false news, Wei Mingyuan thought that the Song Dynasty would not accept the surrender so he raised troops to attack the security army, General Li, please give me a team of cavalry and take me to stop him." He'll listen to me, please, General Lee! ”

Li Shibing stared at Yizhi, obviously not believing her words.

Yizhi pleaded: "General Li, Wei Ming Yuanhao still has at least 50,000 or 60,000 elite soldiers in his hands, if he is angered, and then gather other forces to attack the security army, the consequences will be unimaginable, General Li, you give me a team of cavalry, even if I am lying, it is just a team of cavalry, if what I said is true, it will save thousands of soldiers!" ”

Li Shibing sneered: "You can rest assured, the security army has Di Dianzhi in charge, let alone fifty or sixty thousand elite soldiers, even if it is one hundred thousand elite soldiers, it is not in the eyes." As he spoke, he said, "Come on, send a few soldiers from Western Xia to surrender." ”

Yizhi shook his head unconsciously: "General Li, at the moment of life and death, why do you care about my little girl?" Even if Wei Mingyuan is defeated again and again, he is a figure that cannot be underestimated, and at present, it is important to calm down external troubles. Isn't the life of those tens of millions of soldiers fate? ”

Li Shibing sneered: "Miss Yan don't have to worry, Yuan Hao'er is just a teacher who has not succeeded, and she can't swallow this breath." We just have to resist, we don't have to face to face. Now that all the border fields are closed, seeing that the cold winter is coming, there is no food, no warm clothing, and how long can it last. ”

Yizhi asked again: "Then, how is the security of the security army?" ”

Li Shibing said with a smile: "The security army doesn't need the girl to worry. The security army's inspector Liu Huaizhong is an unusable mischief, but there is a strange soldier at the bottom, I heard that the surname Di Mingqing, the former brother received, tattooed on the face, escorted into Beijing, incorporated into the army, originally in the Gongsheng camp. The officials of Nayan found out that there were Western Xia detectives in Bianjing, and the officials immediately dispatched the Gongsheng Battalion to the front line. It was also thanks to him that the security army was saved.

Now he has been promoted to the palace straight, guarding the security army, with a block of a hundred is not a problem, and in order to cover up the tattoo, every time he goes on the field, he has to wear a mask with blue fangs, this Xixia army saw him, frightened his legs and stomach, and kowtowed again and again and called Wu Shaxing to go down to earth! ”

When I heard this, I felt faintly uneasy.

Li Shibing said loudly again: "Girl, you are not an ordinary little woman, you are the daughter of Yan Shuyan, the governor of the current dynasty and the privy envoy. ”

Remembering Nahan said: "When did my father concurrently serve as a privy envoy? ”

Li Shibing said: "There is a rumor in Kyoto that the only daughter of Yan Daguan was not taken away by the Western Xia detectives, but ran away. If it is found that you have fornicated with Wei Mingyuan, I am afraid that even your father will be charged with being an adopted daughter or collaborating with the enemy and treason. ”

I don't feel the cold hair of the memory.
