Chapter 108: War

Chen Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows, she was very surprised, this Hu Feng was taught a hard lesson, it was a change of sex, Chen Qiaoqiao suddenly found a trace of abnormality, Hu Feng's eyes were red, a little puffy, and it was clear that he had just cried. [No pop-ups. 】

What's wrong with this Chen Qiaoqiao remained silent, "Okay, I'll be here in a while, is Bonian back" Hu Feng's eyes suddenly turned red, "I'm back, I'm packing up my things, the emperor is going to use troops against Western Xia today, and Bonian is also going to war"

"What" Chen Qiaoqiao stood up suddenly, since the fact that there was no hidden jade beggar, Chen Qiaoqiao was vaguely worried in her heart, this war between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia may start again. I didn't expect it to be so fast, and as a commander, Yinhuo didn't have to fight

Chen Qiaoqiao's heart was suddenly confused, he had just determined Yinhuo's intentions, but he wanted to stay away, and it was the battle of Western Xia that would be defeated

Song Shenzong wanted to deal with Western Xia for a long time, and he was also very courageous. In the fifth year of Xining, Wang Anshi's reform has been implemented for four years and has achieved certain results. At the same time, Wang Anshi's policy of harmony and Rong achieved a brilliant victory. At that time, the Huangshui River Basin and the Tao River Basin, in the southwestern part of present-day Gansu Province, were inhabited by Tibetans such as the Qingtang ethnic group, a branch of the Tibetan people living in the Huangshui Basin. The Western Xia rulers took advantage of the internal wars among the Tibetan chieftains to take control of the region and use it as a corridor to invade the Song dynasty and Shaanxi. In view of this, Wang Shaozi, the general of the Song army at that time, and the De'an people of Jiangxi Province proposed a Pingrong policy to Shenzong in 1068, the first year of Xining, pointing out that the Western Xia was turning the Xihe region into a corridor to intrude the interior, and suggested that troops should be sent to recover the Xihe region. This suggestion was adopted by Song Shenzong with the support of Wang Anshi. In 1072, the fifth year of Xining, Wang Anshi sent the general Wang Shao to lead the army to regain the Xihe region in present-day Linxia and Lintao in Gansu in one fell swoop. In the winter of the following year, more than 2,000 li of land that had been lost for more than 200 years was recovered, and more than 300,000 Tibetan people were recruited, which was the greatest military victory in the 80 years since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But it is now the fourth year of Yuanfeng, and Wang Anshi has already been belittled

Chen Qiaoqiao still clearly remembers the historical records, in 1081, the fourth year of Yuanfeng, the Western Xia royal family was in turmoil, Shenzong thought that there was an opportunity, so he sent troops to attack the Western Xia in five ways, and surrounded the Lingzhou City in the east of Qingtongxia in Ningxia for 18 days

What should she do, can she tell Yinhuo that this battle will definitely be lost, is there any way she can stop him from fighting, Chen Qiaoqiao found that she had no way at all

When Hu Feng saw Chen Qiaoqiao's shocked look, she thought that Chen Qiaoqiao was worried about Chen Bonian, and couldn't help but feel a little comforted, although her mother-in-law was not good to her, she still had feelings for Bonian

"Mother-in-law, you go and persuade Bonian, originally Bonian was just a small captain, and he was responsible for the guards of the capital, and he was not arranged to fight at all, but Bonian said that this was a good time to make a name for himself, and he automatically invited his mother-in-law, this is a life-threatening matter, how can he be so disregarding his family" Hu Feng originally wanted to find his mother-in-law to persuade Chen Bonian, this is not a trivial matter to fight in Western Xia, and it is extremely dangerous, the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia fought several times, all of them won less and lost more, how could Hu Feng not worry

Hu Feng's words pulled Chen Qiaoqiao back to reality, and couldn't help nodding, and said: "This Bonian is really, such a big thing is not discussed with the family, just make your own decisions, let's go and see" Although Chen Qiaoqiao can't talk about how much affection she has for Chen Bonian, but since she is nominally listed as her stepmother, she has to do some obligations, besides, this battle is bound to lose, she can't watch Chen Bonian go to die

When I walked to Chen Bonian's room, I saw Chunlan and Xia Sheng hurriedly packing up their clothes, while Chen Bonian was sorting out some necessary weapons by himself. Seeing Chen Qiaoqiao and Hu Feng walking in, they knew her intentions, and couldn't help glaring at Hu Feng, "Erniang, you don't have to say more, I'm going to settle this Xixia."

Chen Qiaoqiao frowned deeply, she hadn't opened her mouth yet, this Chen Bonian refused, it seems that this determination has been made Hu Feng's eyes suddenly reddened, "Xianggong, why are you so stubborn, this Xixia doesn't have to let you go."

Chen Qiaoqiao also said: "Bo Nian, Erniang understands, you want to take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and prove your ability, but have you thought about it, this emperor rushed to war, I'm afraid that nothing is ready, maybe there will be no food and grass, why should you take such a risk" In order to stop him, Chen Qiaoqiao euphemistically said the disadvantages of this war.

Chen Bonian said a little incredulously: "Erniang, you are a woman who knows how to grow others' morale and destroy their own prestige The emperor has received reliable news, the Xixia royal family is in turmoil, and the emperor is ready to give a thunderous blow and the wealth is in danger, I don't want to be so nameless for the rest of my life, you know, in the forbidden army, as long as I am mentioned Chen Bonian, everyone is disapproving, I know, they look down on me, I think the tiger father and dog, father's heroism is more and more my nest, fortunately, the sky is pitiful, Finally found a chance for me to turn over, how can I miss Erniang, you don't need to say it anymore, I've made up my mind."

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be silent. It seems that Chen Bonian has also been extremely unsatisfactory in the forbidden army, since he has made up his mind, what else does she have to say" Since this is the case, Erniang is not saying anything. Just a word of advice, be careful in everything, Erniang doesn't ask you to be rich and rich, I just wish you a safe return Hu Feng, you don't have to say anything, hurry up and prepare Da Mao's clothes for Bo Nian, that place will freeze to death, don't be reluctant to give up the silver, maybe it can save your life"

Hu Feng nodded tearfully, knowing that the matter was irreparable, but silently did not speak. Chen Bonian looked at Hu Feng, and his heart softened for a while, "Erniang, Feng'er, I know that you have had a lot of conflicts recently, and I know all of them, but I won't be here in the future, I don't want you to get along in harmony, I just want you to be safe" He sighed deeply, he knew everything that had happened at home recently, and naturally someone would tell him that he was the one in charge, and Steward Liu would tell him everything, and he didn't know how to comment. Hu Feng and his mother-in-law's behavior was too much, but Chen Qiaoqiao's fierceness also surprised and worried Chen Bonian.

Hu Feng's face changed slightly, she was lucky to think that Chen Bonian didn't know anything, but she was a little cold, Chen Bonian knew that her mother-in-law dealt with her like this, and she didn't speak out for her, although it was wrong for her to marry Yongning Hou, but she was also in the dark, but her mother-in-law's methods of dealing with her were simply outrageous, and the humiliation she suffered in her life was not as much as this time

Chen Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, she knew that the affairs of the family must not be hidden from Chen Bonian, and she didn't want to hide it.

In all fairness, Chen Qiaoqiao has complaints about Chen Bonian, these years, Chen and the two children have not been happy, she doesn't believe that Chen Bonian will know nothing, it must be because she thinks it's not a big deal, so she ignores it, making Hu Feng more and more arrogant

And Chen Bonian's self-righteous ignorance made them suffer a lot of grievances

But this is not the time to talk about this, besides, Chen Qiaoqiao also understands that everything has to be fought for by herself, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, it is Chen himself who is too weak.

"Bonian, don't worry, Erniang knows what you mean, Erniang will definitely let Hu Feng do everything, you can go with confidence" No matter what happens in the future, no one will do this superficial effort

"What Xianggong's mother-in-law said is that Feng'er was ignorant in the past, but she will definitely change it in the future, and Xianggong doesn't have to worry about things at home" Chen Bonian sighed deeply, he felt upset when he heard this insincere words

After dinner, Chen Qiaoqiao anxiously paced in the room, listening to Chen Bonian's meaning, I was afraid that she would have to leave in the next few days, but she still had a lot of things to explain and a lot to say, she would definitely not feel at ease if she didn't see her

Chen Qiaoqiao was anxious here, but the silver fire was a piece of beautiful spring light, it turned out that the emperor was grateful for the fact that he did not hide the jade beggar to pass on such a big news, and treated the jade beggar very well, not only rewarded a thousand taels of gold, but also placed another mansion for her, but this did not hide the jade beggar but told the emperor that she was infatuated with the silver fire, no matter what reward she didn't want, just ask the emperor to give her marriage

"Your Majesty, I and Lord Yin were already in love when we were in Western Xia, and I came to the Great Song Dynasty to deliver the news so desperately, to a large extent, because I miss Lord Yin, Your Majesty, I don't want any gold and silver, I just want to be with Lord Yin forever."

The emperor was naturally very shocked, the arrogance of foreign women really opened the emperor's eyes, if it was in the Great Song Dynasty, how could a woman dare to show love in front of the emperor, the emperor looked at the embarrassed silver fire on the side, couldn't help but be a little funny, and said narrowly: "Oh, is this true, why haven't I heard Yin Aiqing mention it" He knows the details of the silver fire best, how can he give marriage casually, just looking at the cold face of the silver fire that has not changed for a thousand years, there are finally some ripples, and I think it is very interesting

"Brother Yin, you said you like me or not, you once said that I am the most beautiful flower on Helan Mountain, do you remember" Wu Zangyu smiled coquettishly, with an innocent face.

The emperor finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, did the most beautiful flower on Helan Mountain spit out of the mouth of the silver fire with such a fleshy word, why didn't he find out that this silver fire would also speak sweetly
