The court's envoy was shot dead by the lieutenant general of King Liang, and the accompanying guards were not spared.

When the matter reached Xingzhou, Wan Feiying directly broke two tea cups in the dormitory.

The battle between the two armies is inevitable, the soldiers and horses of the court have just destroyed the Jin army, and their vitality has not yet recovered, but Wan Feiying can't control it so much, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he doesn't kill Wei Li.

Xingzhou is an important pass to attack the capital, as long as you break through here, and then there is Xiaocheng, which is only one step away from Shangjing.

Many people in the camp of King Liang marched together to capture Xingzhou and capture Queen Wan to avenge the first emperor.

Wei Li led people to garrison the border for half a month, but he was not in a hurry, did not attack, did not give a word of approval, and kept waiting.

Queen Wan of Xingzhou was a little anxious when she saw that he was not moving, she always felt that something was wrong, so she did not continue to consume, and ordered an attack, wanting to recapture Tongcheng.

The disparity in strength between the two armies is not large, and the army of King Liang has grown to more than 100,000 after so long, while the court has lost some before, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 more, and it is mainly inexperienced recruits.

Someone persuaded Queen Wan to wait, but she didn't listen.

The battle between the two armies lasted for half a year, and Wei Li did not leave the city and kept holding on.

Autumn is going to winter, and it's another year of heavy snowfall.

In the palace of Liangzhou, Ayu fed rice cereal to her two half-year-old sons on the low couch in the warm pavilion, and Axue watched from the side, wiping her brother's mouth from time to time.

"Mother."

Xiao Nuan smiled and came in from outside, "Your Highness has sent something back." ”

"Oh."

Ayu handed the bowl to the nurse who had been waiting beside her, and asked, "Where is the thing?" ”

"The eldest prince let me send it directly here, and I'm on my way."

As he was talking, someone came from outside, and the things arrived.

It's cold today, and it looks like it's going to snow outside, so Ayu directly asked people to carry the box in.

Three large mahogany boxes containing fabric, fur, books, and toys.

Xiao Nuan touched the snow fox skin and smiled at Ayu, "Niangniang, this material is so good, I can make you two cloaks, and I can also make a jacket for the eldest lady." ”

"And these fabrics, isn't Your Highness fighting outside, and I don't know where I got them, we can't see fabrics with this kind of texture here."

Xiao Nuan has reached the age of Aimei, and King Liang sent something back, and she felt more excited than Ayu.

Ah Yu took Mama Xu's hand and went forward to take a look, then took two small toys and said, "These little wooden horses and small swords are just right for Ah Chao and Ah Yang to play." ”

The two twin sons, the eldest named Wei Rui and the younger named Wei Yao, were both taken by Wei Li. Ayu gave the two boys nicknames.

"Yes, His Highness really has a heart outside."

Mama Xu couldn't help but speak, this is the third time that King Liang has sent something, the first two times are good medicinal materials and food for Niangniang to replenish her body, this time it is materials and gadgets, although she can't come back outside, she always remembers the master of the house.

Ayu was naturally happy to have something to collect, but she couldn't lift her energy when she thought that the war had lasted so long.

That night, Ah Qiu returned from the front yard.

Ayu showed him the things, asked the eldest son to measure the size, and planned to make him two new clothes.

At this time, Ah Qiu has turned four years old, his body has grown fast, and his clothes will not fit when he wears them twice, and he looks at the six or seven-year-old baby undoubtedly, and now writing and boxing in the front yard has entered the formal teaching.

"Mother, my clothes are changed quickly, and the materials are rare, just make it for yourself and your sisters and brothers."

Ah Qiu didn't care much about these things.

"It's going to be the New Year, and no one can leave this material behind."

Ayu sighed, took her son and daughter to finish dinner, and then she asked about the situation ahead.

The battle ahead has been stalemate, although King Liang has said that he has sent two letters, but Ayu can't help but worry, the longer the days, the more that feeling will be.

"Mother, we can't help with things on the battlefield, and we don't know too much."

"You kid, you don't want to tell me if you have any news?" Ayu crossed her eyes, "I can't know the news of your father yet?" It's not enough to care! ”

"That's not what I meant." Ah Qiu pursed his lips, "That's it, my father is still preparing, so I'm not in a hurry to make a move." But I don't think it will be long to wait, Xingzhou should be broken before the year. ”

Ah Qiu knocked on the table and expressed his opinion, looking scheming.

Ayu couldn't help laughing, "Are you still very confident, people in the mansion are still accurate about the battle ahead, and the message from the front was sent to you?" ”

Ayu didn't believe it, and Aqiu snorted and said, "I figured it out." Mother, why don't you believe your son, I am the eldest son, and I am the person you will rely on in the future, how can I afford this responsibility if I don't have any ability. ”

Yo, this kid is too sensible!

Ayu smiled and nodded, "Okay, my son is already very interested, and I am very happy for my mother." ”

"This is natural."

was praised by his mother, and Ah Qiu was also a little embarrassed.

Later, Ayu didn't ask about the things ahead, just like her son said, she didn't understand the war ahead, and she couldn't help the man, so she could only take good care of her children in the house.

Approaching the end of the year, the good army, which had been in a stalemate for more than half a year, finally opened the gate of Tongcheng and greeted those people in the court head-on.

After the disaster in Tongzhou, which had been corroded by war, Wei Li took it and began to pay for conscription, and revived commerce, giving the conscripted men silver money or rice grain as required.

For families who are so poor that they are dying of hunger, becoming a soldier has become a way out, not only to survive, but also to help their families tide over the difficulties.

The good army issued a notice, and the recruits trained for half a year, and then went to the rear to take care of the war affairs before they were assigned to the front line.

This dispelled everyone's concern that being a soldier would be sent to death, and there were nearly 50,000 strong men who enlisted in Tongzhou.

In this way, the good army not only made up for the losses, but also grew in ranks.

At this time, some southern generals on the court side who couldn't stand the winter snow were already unable to show much strength to meet the enemy in an environment of little food and clothing, and in the face of the bravery of the good army, they were like a plate of scattered sand, and they were defeated and retreated.

Wan Feiying stood above the battle army, and he couldn't save the situation by beating the drums in person, and finally he was so angry that he threw the wooden hammer and retreated to Xiaocheng with the remnants of the army.

In this way, Xingzhou, which spans the west, north, south, and three directions, was officially taken into the hands of King Liang.

In the past few years of turmoil in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, the King of Qi and the new Emperor Wei Hao have both marched to Xingzhou, but they all stopped here and finally fell into defeat.

It is of great significance for King Liang to take this place, and it is not in vain that he has been stung for many years. Although he does not have much territory in his hands now, it is all important passes without exception.

Liangzhou has always been a supply of grain and grass as the rear, and the minerals of Binshan were transported to various small countries on the border in exchange for horses, gold and silver, and Tongzhou supplied soldiers and generals to the good army.

In order to take this place without fail, the 30,000 private soldiers that King Liang had hidden for nearly seven years also appeared.

The team of nearly 200,000 attacked from both sides, and who could resist it, and the Empress Dowager Wan was almost caught.
