The wind swept up the yellow sand, rolling in mid-air, blowing one by one to make people's cheeks hurt.

Jinshan Pass.

Qian County Linggang followed General Fang to inspect the city wall, returned to the big tent of the station, squatted on the ground and held a burnt steamed bun and gnawed one bite at a time, he was a civil official, but at this time he was wearing chain mail, very bulky, his cheeks were red, and he sighed while eating: "Meat, meat, meat, what is a big meal a day on weekdays, and the big meat is enough in wartime, and it is easy to say, but you generals, county lords, princesses or something, but move your mouth, we people at the bottom are embarrassed and want to die headlong, meat doesn't need money?" Raising pigs, cattle, sheep and horses, and occupying people, and occupying grassland, but also guarding against people to steal, people to rob, the money spent is big, you are not a family and don't know the price of firewood and rice, I desperately go to the house to hold the silver, your princess is everywhere to give people credit, the emperor is great, the emperor can not pay the debt? What a loser, what a loser! ”

Fang Yingxuan squinted his eyes and yawned, while listening to his nagging, and didn't bother to explain that he, the big housekeeper, could run the family business so big, in fact, it was the first money that the princess of the loser in his mouth came out of the recipe, out of the technology, and brought in the first amount of money.

The two of them gossiped a few words, dozed groggily, and before they could close their eyes, there was a sudden noise outside.

"General, general, look!"

Fang Yingxuan stood up and walked out of the tent to see that on the beacon tower of the Jinshanguan city wall in the distance, the wolf smoke was billowing out.

Then a war horse galloped in.

"Report - Pure Water Fort is lost, the Violent Front Village is lost, Vice General Wei is besieged and killed in the Heavenly Wolf Valley, and the 200,000 troops of Western Xia are approaching Jinshan Pass!"

Qian Xian Ling threw away the steamed buns, his face changed suddenly, and Fang Yingxuan had already whipped his whip and picked up the knife and got on the horse and galloped away.

When Fang Ruohua arrived, she happened to collide with Fang Yingxuan, she didn't ask a word, and said first: "General, quickly take someone to the fire and thunder basement to prevent the basement from being lost." ”

Fang Yingxuan was stunned for a moment and turned around and walked.

"County Lord......"

Fang Ruohua raised his hand to stop Qian County's trembling words: "Don't panic." ”

She stood calmly in the barracks, Hu Su stood behind her, and the generals and soldiers who looked flustered gradually settled down.

"Let's go, most of you are from the surrounding states and counties, and you have been in my northwest for three years, and it is estimated that no one has not seen the villages looted by these party members, how the scorched earth is everywhere, and the lives are ruined, I don't say what rewards will be there after the big victory, you first think about what will happen to your parents, brothers, villagers, fathers and elders, newly married daughters-in-law, and children who are waiting to be fed!"

In an instant, the murderous aura was pervasive.

Fang Ruohua stretched out her arm, asked Hu Su to wrap a tight bandage for her, covered the red bloodstains, put on a silver armor, covered the scars, slightly contemptuous, and sneered: "Xixia is now in internal discord, chaos is very large, Fang Yuanshan is no longer trusted by Li Yuanhao, Xixia took the opportunity of the rebellion of King Xiangyang this time to buckle the side, thinking that with a little bit of information, she could catch us off guard, she dreamed!" ”

Getting up and getting on the horse, Fang Ruohua groaned slightly, "Fang Yuanshan is indeed a little troublesome, if he is not there, it would be fine." ”

Hu Su groaned: "It's difficult to assassinate him, and Li Yuanhao won't make a mistake in changing generals." ”

Fang Ruohua smiled, "But Zhang Guan lost power, I don't know how many people want to replace Fang Yuanshan's position, if our Great Song Dynasty is weaker at this time, I think it will give some people courage and make them dare to think more, besides, no matter if it works, try it and don't suffer." ”

Riding on horseback, Fang Ruohua looked back and said solemnly: "Xiao cavalry battalion, trapped camp, flying feather battalion, heavy armor battalion, knife out of sheath, arrow wound, war, no matter how many off-board moves, in the end, it still depends on the soldiers' lives, swearing to kill the enemy!" ”

"Yes!" The generals agreed.

……

The border is in an emergency.

The atmosphere in the court was solemn, and the people were panicked.

If Jinshan Pass is lost, the Western Xia Iron Cavalry will be smooth all the way, and crossing the Yellow River will be able to threaten Tokyo, so the ministers will not panic.

The louder the voice of peace talks, the more mainstream it becomes.

His Majesty, who has always had the determination to prepare the army and fight a decisive battle with the Western Xia, this time he was tough against the past, as if he wanted to seek peace, and the next day, he issued a decree to canonize the beloved daughter of the Eight Sages as Princess Zhaorong, and prepared to be pro-Xixia.

It is reported that Zhao Zhen went to visit the Eighth Prince's Mansion that night, and sighed: "It's a pity that my daughter is only three years old. ”

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, some people lamented, and some people breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiangfu

In the middle of the night, the lights in Jiang Chao's study were bright, and there were a pile of account books stacked on the table.

Jiang Chao looked serious, only wore a jacket, the abacus beads were quickly dialed, and he was obviously very skilled, although he was a household servant, but he was not a high-ranking official who entrusted the trivial and detailed affairs to the master's staff, he was very good at money and food.

"Daddy!"

Jiang Ruoyu pushed the door in, her face was snow-white, she was still dressed in men's clothes, she looked a little elegant, but there was a hint of anger in her expression, "Is it true or false that the imperial court intends to let Sister Huanting and pro-Xixia?" ”

Jiang Chao frowned and was silent.

Jiang Ruoyu bit her lip stubbornly: "Sister Huanting is eighteen years old, if you want to get married, isn't the queen mother's only daughter just the right age?" ”

As soon as she uttered these resentful words, she was ruined," ...... I don't mean that, no matter who you are, you shouldn't be close, I think that the major affairs of the family and the country should be a man's business, and the whole court is afraid of Li Yuanhao's child, so go to my daughter's house to sacrifice herself, how ridiculous? ”

Jiang Chao shook his head: "Enjoy the honor, when it is time to sacrifice, you have to sacrifice, if the princess and relatives can bring peace for a few years, then I don't know how many people can not lose their husbands and sons, there is nothing wrong." ”

In fact, Jiang Shilang is not the lord and faction, but he is loyal to the king in the end, and he will inevitably distinguish one or two for his lord in front of his daughter, not to mention that his statement is not unreasonable.

Jiang Ruoyu's expression was gloomy: "...... If the father is a messenger and escorts the military salary to the northwest, please let the daughter go with him anyway, and the daughter knows that she can't do anything......"

She gritted her teeth, "My daughter just wants to ask those generals who guard the frontier, those soldiers and uncles who take the imperial court's salaries, are they really so useless, they can't stop the attack of a little Western Xia, and they actually let my Great Song Dynasty court be reduced to wanting to make peace with the princess and relatives, are they ashamed!" They are not worthy of the princes of the court, and they are not worthy of Your Majesty! ”

When a man is angry, he blurts out anything.

The people who were waiting on the left and right were startled, and they all bowed their heads, lamenting in their hearts, the little lady is quite reliable on weekdays, why is she so bold now!
