It is said that Yizhi had a premonition that Yuan Hao would raid the Song army at night, and learned that one of the generals of the Song army was Liu Ping, so he was immediately shocked and rushed to the bank of the Sanchuankou River on horseback. However, the Song army had suffered heavy casualties, Huang Dehe faced a surprise attack again, and fled from the battle, Liu Yisun fought alone in Sunur, exhausted and difficult to support, and when he was sad and sad, he begged Yuan Hao to let Liu Ping and others go.

Yuan Hao admired Liu Ping's father and son for their courage and fearlessness, intending to recover, so he took Liu Ping back to Jinmingzhai for detention and sent Zhang Yuan to persuade him to surrender several times. However, Liu Ping was arrogant and stubborn, and he swore to die and refused to betray the Song Dynasty. When he saw Zhang Yuan, he was going to scold, and he had to insult Yuan Hao if he had nothing to do, and he couldn't give in.

Recalling the battle of Sanchuankou, he was also shackled and placed under house arrest in a bungalow, staring at the roof all day long, his ears filled with Liu Ping's scolding, and he was stunned.

I don't know how many days later, Yuan Hao opened the wooden door and entered, he took off the shackles for Yizhi, and gave her ankles again, and said: "You can hear that scolding, he hasn't stopped scolding all day." ”

He continued, "If it weren't for you, I would have killed him." ”

Yizhi looked at Yuan Hao with two eyes, and did not understand his intentions, so he did not say a word.

Yuan Hao smiled again: "Why don't you go and persuade him, if you submit to me, I will directly promote him to be a privy envoy, and I will be a first-class general under my command, and he will be distinguished and decent, comparable to Sunur." As for Liu Yisun, he can also be handsome. Otherwise, if I listen to him scolding him for two more days, I am afraid that I will have to carry a knife to cut him in my dreams. ”

Remembering the way: "I can't even convince myself, who can I convince?" ”

Yuan Hao looked at her for a long time and said: "Jinmingzhai is lost, Sanchuankou is defeated, Yanzhou is exposed, your little emperor is furious, and Fan Yong is deposed and sent to Anzhou as a magistrate. Your father was ordered to garrison Yanzhou, and in the next battle, I will fight him. What is the saying in your Zhongzhou, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, you say, the remnants of the lonely city, what does he do to fight with me? ”

The heart of memory is shocking, and I can't come back to my senses for half a day.

Yuan Hao said: "By the way, the detectives in Bianjing came with the news that Sanchuankou escaped from the battle, and brought the old servant of Liu Ping's family to beat the drum to sue the emperor, saying that the reason why Sanchuankou was defeated was because General Liu Ping collaborated with the enemy and treason. The little emperor was furious and sent forbidden troops to surround Liu's mansion and detain more than 200 people. Oh, by the way, and your closest sister, Liu Xiuying, who is now imprisoned in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison for insulting your little emperor, the court officials, and beating the forbidden army. ”

Then, he smiled again and said, "The temperament of this Liu family is really to my appetite. You might as well talk to him more, anyway, the charges have already been charged, as long as Liu Ping is willing to submit, I can send a personal guard to sneak into Bianjing Kaifeng Mansion to rescue Liu Xiuying. ”

Yizhi was stunned and walked out of the bungalow, and followed Yuan Hao to the cell where Liu Ping was held, only to see him hanging in the cell with iron chains thick wrists, his hands locked, his eyes swollen and messy, his flesh and blood blurred, there was no benefit on his body, and two lines of hot tears fell in an instant.

Liu Ping was scolding, and when he saw Yizhi at a glance, he hurriedly said: "Girl, how are you?" ”

Yizhi stepped forward crying and asked, "Uncle, are you in pain?" ”

Liu Ping shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, don't cry, we can't be underestimated by them!" ”

When she saw Liu Ping, she was like seeing her father, all her firmness collapsed in an instant, she wiped her tears, couldn't cry, and was weak like a little yellow finch. She barely calmed down and asked, "There are rumors in the capital that I have an affair with the Western Xia detective to frame my father for collaborating with the enemy and treason, does my uncle know who did it?" ”

Liu Ping said: "Who else, besides that one, who can your father hinder?" As a Pingzhang political officer, he should have been conscientious and conscientious, but as far as the Western Xia detective lurked in Beijing, your father took the lead, and the official family trusted your father, and now he has been promoted to serve as a privy envoy, and you have to ask your father about everything. How he is not afraid. In fact, you grew up watching us, how could you do such a thing? ”

Yuan Hao suddenly laughed.

Liu Ping looked at him and said, "You black-hearted and treacherous forgetful son, even if you feed the dog, you have to mix two hundred catties of sugar before it is willing to eat!" For the sake of the father of the Song Kingdom, people reluctantly called you the king of Xiping, but called you the earth, I don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. With a few broken horses, a few broken bows, and a few barren and proletarian wastelands, do you think you can establish a kingdom and become king? Hehe, ignorant children, ignorant children! ”

Yuan Hao sank his face, suddenly got up and walked over, he was shocked, and hurriedly blocked the front, and begged softly: "You said let me talk to him more, let me talk to him again." ”

Yuan Hao stared at Yizhi for a while, then gradually retreated, sat down on the high chair again, frowned, and said: "You two, one is a fearless hero who dares to fight the 60,000 army of Western Xia single-handedly, but he was framed for being greedy for life and afraid of death, colluding with foreign enemies to cooperate with the outside world. One is a fat fan hero who is lying on his salary and has the courage to endure humiliation, and he was framed for secretly communicating with the Western Xia detective, and ran away lewdly. He also falsely accused Huang Dehe and the old servants of the Liu family, and told the situation of the Liu Mansion and Liu Xiuying.

After a pause, he frowned and said, "I really don't understand, what else is there to be nostalgic for your home country?" ”

Liu Ping didn't come back to his senses, he was stunned for a while, and said to Yidao: "You don't want to believe him!" This person is treacherous and cunning, and it is difficult to distinguish between what he says and what he says, and he is not lying to us! ”

Yuan Hao said with a smile: "The voice of your more than 1,000 remnants of soldiers shouting and not retreating is still echoing in the sky, I am deeply shocked, and I can't think of any ideas for a while." I admire you, and I admire your son, he could have fled, but he turned his horse's head and came back to meet the battle, seeing that the defeat was decided, he was still righteous and awe-inspiring, if he was in my Western Xia, such a person would be a hero. However, you are a big country that never follows common sense, and often makes me cry and laugh - he has also been arrested and is on his way back to Beijing for interrogation. ”

Liu Ping's eyes widened angrily, and he said to the way of memory: "The truth will be revealed sooner or later, how can you reverse black and white with the bloody mouth of that traitorous thief!" The official family must send someone to investigate thoroughly, not to mention, your father is about to arrive in Yanzhou, am I Liu Ping the one who will collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, others don't know, how can he not know! Don't let the situation turn your way away! ”

Yuan Hao stood up suddenly, grabbed Yizhi's arm and pulled her to his side, and said: "I asked you to persuade him, but you listened to him, when will you understand that only by submitting to me can you get the respect and glory you deserve." For example, Zhang Yuan, he was just a long-lost waste in the Song Kingdom, but in my Western Xia, he was a decent imperial chamberlain, do you dare to say that he has no real talent and learning? ”

Seeing that Yi Zhi was stunned, he didn't feel a cloud of anger burning in his chest, and shouted outward: "Immediately order, gather troops, and march towards Yanzhou!" ”

The commander was given the order and ordered the troops to go to battle.

Yuan Hao also ordered to escort Yizhi into the felt cart and advance to Yanzhou with the Western Xia army.

The sky has just fallen after heavy snowfall, the mountains are covered in silver, and the earth and the sky echo each other, clean and bright. The army marched through the mountains and valleys to the wide basin floor. On the other side of the frozen river, the Song army lined up neatly, and the flag was raised in the wind.

Yuan Hao ordered the army to stop, and Yan Shu was dressed in armor in the cold wind, riding a war horse, standing tall with his head held high.

The two armies of Song and Xia stood against each other in the ice and snow.

Yan Shu saw Yuan Hao and said bitterly: "Li Ping! You ......" I didn't feel that a thousand words were blocked in my throat.

Yuan Hao said: "Great official, I am not Li Ping, my surname is Wei Ming, my name is Yuan Hao, and I am the king of Western Xia." ”

Yan Shu was stunned for a long time, sighed, and said: "Yuan Hao, the Song court gave you a robe, a golden belt, and a golden saddle to restrain the horse, and awarded the special entry, the inspection of the school and the servant, the Xiazhou Assassin Shi Chongding Difficult Army Festival Envoy, Xia Yin Sui Youjing and other state governors to observe, dispose of, and charge the feudal lords, Shangzhu State, canonized the king of Xiping, and gave 6,000 households to the food yi, 2,000 households to eat the real seal, and enjoy the treatment of the Zhongzhou Festival envoy. Merchants crossing the Xihe Corridor will have to pay you one-tenth of the tax on your goods in Western Xia. With such generous treatment, you are still not enough, openly establish the country, and still violate our country's land and force our country to comply? ”

Yuan Hao smiled: "I, Yuan Hao, is pushed by the public, and I am a distant descendant of Tuoba and the emperor of the emperor, why not?" ”

Yan Shu said: "Huangkou Xiao'er, the current prosperity of your clan is caused by Song En, and now that the Song court has stripped you of your title, there is no more food and food, closing the field, blocking the trade between the two countries, how long can you last in Western Xia?" ”

Yuan Hao said: "I didn't come today to say these things. Yan Daguan, let's meet an acquaintance first. With that, he waved his hand, and as soon as the soldiers and horses opened, a soldier escorted out with a shackle and Yizhi.

Yan Shu saw Yizhi, his body shook slightly, and he calmed down in a moment, and he asked loudly, "Yizhi, how are you?" ”

Yizhi pursed his lips and smiled, shouting, "It's good, is your father good?" Looking at his gray and slightly messy bun, his eyes were red, and he said, "I haven't seen him for a long time, and my father seems to be much older." ”

Goose feathers began to fall in the sky, and they all fell on Yan Shu's messy eyebrows, he smiled gloomily, and shouted: "Yes, no one is messing around in the study anymore, no one is running around in the courtyard anymore, and no one is grinding ink on the side of the desk." The tea case is full of dust, if it weren't for the cold winter, I'm afraid the tea mill would have to grow moss. I realized how reluctant I was. ”

Yizhi's eyes were red, and he still wanted to speak, but Yuan Hao smiled and said, "Yan Daguan, let's make a deal." ”

Yan Shu looked at Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao jumped off the horse, walked to Yizhi's side, and said in a loud voice: "Use your daughter to exchange the land for three rounds." If you want me to give her back to you, retreat. If you shoot her with your own hands, I will retreat. And promised, before the snow melted, no more attacks on the Great Song! With that, he took two steps back.

Above the glacier, thousands of miles are silent, only the voice of Yuan Hao echoes in the sky.

Yan Shu was silent for a long time, and sent someone to get a bow and arrow, but the generals and deputy generals said something to stop him, but Yan Shu ignored it, and just ordered someone to take the bow and arrow immediately. The crossbowman obeyed the order, presented the bow and arrows, Yan Shu bent the bow and pulled the string to aim at Yizhi, and shouted: "Child, you should understand Daddy's painstaking efforts, don't be afraid." ”

Xue'er fell bigger and bigger, and landed on Yizhi's body, faintly feeling pain. She was puzzled for a while, she looked at Yan Shu's eyes, and slowly came to her senses, her eyes were red, her voice trembled, and she smiled forcibly: "Daughter understands, daughter ...... Daughter...... Unafraid. ”

Yan Shu shouted again: "In the next life, find a good family to reincarnate, father and mother love, and live a peaceful life." ”

Yizhi nodded, and said with a strong smile: "Bianjing City is full of flowers, Qingming Courtyard is quiet and elegant, Yizhi is happy, there are no complaints and no regrets in this life, I only look forward to the next life, and I am still my father's daughter, and I am also the daughter of the Great Song Dynasty." With that, he closed his eyes.

Yan Shu's eyes were red, and he choked up: "Good boy." With that, he shot the long arrow in his hand.

The long arrow shot straight at Memory, and then, another long arrow came from the side and back, grazing past the feather end of the previous arrow, and the long arrow went off the way and slid into Memory's shoulder, and she fell backwards, falling into Yuan Hao's arms.

Seeing this, the crossbowmen stationed in the rear closed the attack.

Yuan Hao was indignant and said to the way of memory: "Fool! Looking up, through a little snowflake, and saw that the Song army was densely packed behind the side, and there were people and horses the size of beans coming, gradually getting bigger and bigger, and he finally saw who the person who was rescued by archery was - it was Han Yuqi, who was wearing regular clothes, holding a longbow, and galloping on a horse.

He picked up Yizhi, handed over to the rear soldiers, turned over his horse, and shouted: "There are reinforcements on the Song side, and the whole army is on alert!" "The crossbowman is commanded, and he holds the crossbow and waits.

Yan Shu also ordered to be on guard, and Song Fang's bow and crossbow were waiting with a crossbow in hand.

Han Yuqi rode a war horse, galloped to the front of the Song army to hold the reins, and shouted angrily: "Listen to the men of the Song Kingdom, Miss Yan is the daughter of the Great Song Dynasty, our sister and sister, she is righteous and awe-inspiring, and she is willing to give up her life in exchange for land and a moment of peace. Are we willing, can we use her life to survive! ”

Song Jun was silent for a long time, and suddenly let out a roar: "Can't! He also used Chang Gordon, whose voice was neat and heroic, enough to shatter the glacier, and reminded Yuan Hao of the night at the mouth of the three rivers.

The snow grew more and more violent, hitting the ground with a crackling sound.

Yan Shu broke off and shouted: "Quiet! Song Jun listened to the order, and was silent for a moment.

Han Yuqi looked at Yan Shu stupidly, puzzled.

Yan Shu said: "Yuan Hao, I have done what I should do, and you should also fulfill your promise!" ”

Sunur rode a horse, walked to Yuan Hao's side, and said in his ear: "Vulture, this battle really can't be fought, hurry up and retreat!" ”

Yuan Hao thought so, and said loudly: "Yan Daguan, I admire your righteousness and awe-inspiring, according to the agreement, our army retreats for ninety miles, and before the snow melts, we will not attack the Great Song Dynasty." ”

The entire Western Xia army was on alert and was withdrawing.

Han Yuqi shouted: "Li Ping, leave the memory!" ”

Yuan Hao smiled: "She died, everyone saw it, and she was glorious and clean." What do you have to do with her corpse? ”

Han Yuqi said: "She is from the Song Dynasty, even if she dies, she should die in the territory of the Song Kingdom!" ”

Yuan Hao just didn't care, retreated with the army, and Han Yuqi rode his horse to chase after him.

Yan Shu shouted: "Don't chase!" The military order is here, you dare to disobey the order! ”

Han Yuqi withstood the blizzard, turned the horse's head, and said angrily: "Why don't you chase!" Maybe Yizhi still has a breath of air, maybe she still has to be saved! ”

Yan Shu's eyes were full of sorrow, and he muttered, "She's not saved...... Li Ping is the famous Yuanhao, not only a Western Xia detective, but also the leader of the Western Xia thief army. Remembering that person has been by his side for so long, and he is still alive, he deserves to die. ”

Han Yuqi said angrily: "Master, what are you talking about! ”

Yan Shu burst into tears and said: "Only if she dies like this, can she be coerced by the enemy and sacrifice her life for the country." ...... be able to quietly" He rolled his eyes and fell from his horse into the snow. Everyone was shocked, Han Yuqi hurriedly jumped off the horse to help Yan Shu up, and quickly sent him back to Yanzhou for treatment.

Yanzhou medical officials poured into Yan Shu's house, and Han Yuqi retreated outside the house with a sad face.

Shi Jie greeted him and asked, "I heard that you have seen Yizhi?" ”

Han Yuqi glanced at Shi Jie and said, "Li Ping is the leader of the Western Xia rebels. Yizhi was rescued from the dungeon by him and brought back to Western Xia. ”

Shi Jie stayed for a long time and said, "I didn't expect it...... Li Ping turned out to be ......"

Han Yuqi glanced back at the room again and said: "Yuan Hao somehow, he used Yizhi to make a bet with his master, if the master can shoot Yizhi, he will retreat ninety miles, and he will not attack the Great Song Dynasty before the snow melts." ”

Shi Jie suddenly said, "Why didn't you save Yizhi back?" ”

Han Yuqi said angrily: "The master doesn't allow me to save him, and he has to shoot Yizhi with his own hands." ”

Shi Jie exclaimed: "Why is this? ”

Han Yuqi was silent for a long time, and said: "The master's words are outside of his words, and he secretly remembers that he is no longer clean, and there is only one death. He glanced into the room again and said, "He is not hurt, but he has fainted by himself." ”

Shi Jie was relieved, speechless for a while, and paused: "Master is confused!" ”

Han Yuqi thought about it again, shook his head, and said, "Not necessarily, just now I was angry and hated the master for being ignorant and pedantic. Now I want to come over, but the master does not allow me to save memories, maybe there is another deep meaning. ”

Shi Jie tilted his head in confusion.

Han Yuqi said: "Think about it, how does Li Ping Suri remember it?" ”

Shi Jie shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention." ”

Han Yuqi had to close his eyes, and said: "He rescued Yizhi from the dungeon and took her back to Xixia, and today is the same thing again, when he remembered the arrow, he was very nervous, and he thought that he was interested in her." What the Master wanted to explore was this reality and reality. ”

Shi Jie pondered: "You mean, the master deliberately made such a decision, in order to find out the mind of Wei Mingyuan Hao to Yizhi? ”

Han Yuqi said: "If you think about it again, he led an army of about 100,000 people to attack the Song State, and according to the detective's report, the Western Xia has set up about 50,000 or 60,000 troops to defend against the Liao, Uighurs, and Tibet, so how many troops does he have left in the Western Xia capital?" ”

Shi Jie thought for a while and said, "Could it be, also fifty or sixty thousand troops?" ”

Han Yuqi said: "Our Great Song Dynasty is only 300,000 elite soldiers, can there be more than 200,000 in a place as big as Western Xia?" If there really is, then I am afraid that all the people of Western Xia are soldiers...... It's a pity that we don't know the details of the Western Xia region and the number of troops. The master did not allow me to save Memories, and on the surface insinuated that she was unclean, but in fact, I am afraid that it was a deliberate game to make Memorials stay by his side justifiably and make him no longer suspicious. ”

Shi Jie's heart lit up, and he opened his eyes for a while, and said, "Master hopes that Yizhi will be an internal response!" After a moment, his eyes were full of anxiety, and he said, "If you don't understand the Master's deep meaning and believe it to be true, then what should you do?" ”

Han Yuqi was silent for a long time and said, "No, I will definitely understand." I guess she'd do it even if she didn't understand. ”

Shi Jie was stunned, looked at Han Yuqi again, and nodded solemnly.

After about half a cup of tea, Han Yuqi said: "I have to rush back to Jingyuan Road, you hurry up and repair a letter to inform Liangbi and Xu, as for that Wen Yanbo......" He lowered his head and pondered, without an idea for a while.

Shi Jie snorted and said, "Wen Yanbo is on his way from Kyoto to the rear of Yanzhou, Hezhong Mansion, I don't need to tell him, he will know it himself." ”

Han Yuqi raised his eyes and looked at Shi Jie, puzzled for a while.

Shi Jie said: "Liangbi sent a letter to ask about the situation of the border guards, and he didn't believe that General Liu Ping would collaborate with the enemy and commit treason...... When I thought of the thousands of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in Mikawaguchi, and there was such an insult behind me, I almost gritted my teeth with hatred! ”

He shook his head stupidly and said: "Fortunately, the official family is wise, but they only detained more than 200 people in the Liu Mansion, and sent officials to Hezhong Mansion to file a case for investigation. ”

Han Yuqi frowned unconsciously, sighed, and said, "...... What an injustice. After a while, he asked, "Do you want him to know the details?" ”

Shi Jie was stunned for a long time and said: "In this situation, if he is infatuated, he can't bear to look at it. If he is unkind, I am afraid that he will be sad. It's hard to decide. ”

Han Yuqi didn't understand for a while, and said: "Don't mention this matter for the time being, Master's arrow today, I'm afraid that even half of my life will be shot out, if you fall ill, your burden will be heavy." Remember to send detective Yuan Hao to lead the whereabouts of the army, if he is stationed in the Song Realm, then we can unite the Jiedu envoys in the Western Xia who refuse to give in to Yuan Hao, and go deep into Xingqing Mansion to investigate. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Now that it is cold and snowy, the 100,000 army cannot be supplied, so the army will be withdrawn, and it must be deployed before then." ”

The two discussed for a while, and Han Yuqi was about to say goodbye and rush back to Jingyuan Road, when he suddenly thought about it and asked, "By the way, where is Maidia?" ”

Shi Jie frowned and said, "I'm also strange, I came back some time ago, and I haven't seen it again in the past few days." ”

However, it was said that Yuan Hao ordered the army to withdraw from Yanzhou and march to Saikou Village, which was close to Yanzhou. The king of Enuo, who had already communicated with Yuan Hao, opened the gate of the village to welcome the Western Xia army.

Yuan Hao ordered people to burn the kang and sent the best military doctor to draw arrows for Yizhi for treatment, and he withdrew from the outside world for a while, relieved and distressed.

After half a day of treatment, the military physician hurriedly came to the outer room, knelt down in front of Yuan Hao, and said, "Qi Yu Wushu, Mrs. ......"

Yuan Hao frowned and said, "What's wrong with her?" I've seen it, the arrow clusters are biased, and they don't hurt the roots, don't tell me, your old eyes are dizzy, and you can't even cure this little injury! ”

The military doctor said: "No, no, the vulture, although the arrow wound is not serious, it is a miscarriage of the lady, this, this is beyond my ability, and I also ask the vulture to send Langzhong, who is good at gynecology in the village, to cooperate in treatment." ”

Yuan Hao was like a scorching thunder above his head, and he stayed for a long time, and said to Helan Zhen: "Go and tell the king of Enuo and ask him to gather the best Langzhong in the village." ”

Helan really should be, and glanced at Yuan Hao with concern, and then retreated.

Sunur also stayed for a long time and shouted Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say it. He shook his head again and said, "Don't say anything." He opened the curtain and walked into the inner room, and the medical officer saluted Yuan Hao, and then lowered his head to avoid it.

The arrow wound on Yizhi's shoulder had been bandaged, covered with a mattress, and he was lying on the kang, his little face was pale and bloodless.

Yuan Hao stepped forward to hold her hand and said softly, "It's all my fault." His eyes turned red, and he pressed his emotions again, and said, "It's okay, there will be again." ”
