…

Due to the resistance to go out to fight, the date of the expedition was too hasty, and the material and ideological preparations were not prepared, all kinds of specific difficulties arose, and there were many resistances, and some people even complained, and even because the orders of some generals below were improper, some contradicted each other, and some were inconsistent, thus causing some conflicts and accusations.

Despite this, with the unparalleled prestige of the Seed Master Dao in the Song army and the strict and effective discipline of the Seed Master Dao, all kinds of negative factors were overcome.

After receiving the order, the Song armies prepared for the expedition as quickly as possible, and were generally able to begin to gather in Weizhou according to the very hurried schedule set out in the order.

Just like their commander and the Dao of the Plant, this hastily assembled Song army was like an old chariot that had been used for a long time, although some parts were old, rusty, and even damaged, its body bones were still quite strong, as long as it was slightly repaired and lubricated, it would roll up with bones.

And once it was in action, the long-serving ancient chariot was like a thawing river, slowly at first, then increasing in speed, through the vast northwestern wilderness, through the mountains, and rolling eastward......

After joining the army, he guarded the northwest frontier of the Zhao and Song dynasties for a long time, and successively served as the governor of Huanzhou, the governor of Qinzhou, the governor of Pizhou, the governor of Qingyang, the governor of Qinzhou, the deputy commander of the guard infantry army and the horse army, the observation envoy of Fangzhou, and the envoy of the Fengning army.

However, unlike some stubborn and stubborn planters with their own thoughts, the temperament of the planters is much gentler and more obedient.

This also makes the soldiers in the middle of the division, such as Zhang Jun, the primary colonel of his department, like their boss, a person with a high degree of obedience.

At the same time, the planter is another methodical person, all his actions are strictly carried out in accordance with the plan set in advance, if the first day of the trip is delayed by some unexpected circumstances, the second and third days he will take the lead and speed up to make up for it.

This is also the reason why it is the middle of the seed division to take the difficult Shu road, because only the men and horses led by the seed division cannot delay the march time because of the difficult Shu road.

In fact, as estimated by the Seed Master, although the Shu Road is difficult, since the departure of the people in the middle of the Seed Division, they have opened roads in the mountains and built bridges in the water, and they have encountered many difficulties that were estimated and unestimated in advance along the way.

However, due to the strong planning and sufficient preparation work among the planters, they were so calm and unhurried in doing anything, and their subordinates worked hard to overcome these difficulties one by one, and the scheduled schedule was not delayed for a day......

And the marching plan in the Seed Master Dao and the Seed Master is simple.

That is, the troops of the Daoist Division went out of Tongguan and went to the Beijing Daimyo Mansion, and then went directly south from the Beijing Daimyo Mansion to the Nanyang Basin to seize Xiangyang, and then continued to go south, and joined forces in Jingzhou with the central part of the Seed Division that passed through the Shu Road out of Wushan.

If the division can be successfully met, the army will march eastward and enter western Zhejiang from Jingzhou through the Zhejiang-Jiangxi corridor......

The reason why the two divisions of the Seed Master Dao and the Seed Master Middle Division took different routes to Jingzhou separately was because they were afraid that the ant thieves would enter the Jingxiang area westward.

- If this is the case, entering the Jingxiang area from the northwest direction will definitely be much more likely than a desperate bet, after all, there are also many Song troops and local landlords in the Jingxiang area, even if the ant thieves enter the Jingxiang area, they may not be able to seal all the west and north entrances in a short time.

And as long as one of the seed masters and seed masters can enter the Jingxiang area, the biggest advantage of the ant thief, that is, the advantage of geography, will be gone......

Recently, Zhao Ji has been unable to sleep almost every day.

——The riots in the Liangzhejiang region disrupted Zhao Ji's strategic plan to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and while destroying Zhao Ji's dream, it also destroyed the Dao heart that Zhao Ji had been cultivating.

In April, it is the season when apricot blossoms bloom.

But I don't know why, there are several large apricot trees on the apricot hills of Yanfu Palace, but this year's flowers are sparse and scattered.

These big apricot trees are precious trees transplanted by Zhu Mian from the two Zhejiang regions, when they bloom every year, they are covering the sky and the earth, and they are a grand scene in Yanfu Palace, since the year they were planted in Yanfu Palace, there is no year like this year.

The concubines and concubines in the palace talked about it in private, saying that it might be an ominous sign.

Zhao Ji and his favorite Concubine An also heard some rumors.

Concubine An pulled the depressed Zhao Ji and quietly came to Xinggang to take a look.

Concubine An's surname is Liu, she is four years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, she entered the palace when she was ten years old, and served Empress Liu of Song Zhezong in Chong'en Palace.

After the death of Empress Liu, the palace maids of Chong'en Palace were released from the palace.

But Concubine An was unwilling to return to her own poor home, so she lived in the house of an inner servant surnamed He and waited for an opportunity.

Later, Yang Jian, the chief waiter, saw that Concubine An had a good face, so he introduced her to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji liked Concubine An very much when he saw her, and immediately named her a talent.

That year, Concubine An was twenty-five years old.

Concubine An is not only beautiful, but also talented, intelligent, empathetic, ingenious, she is particularly good at cooking, from time to time she personally cooks a few small dishes for Zhao Ji to eat, in addition, she will also cut clothes, the style is novel, and the palace ban inside and outside the competition to imitate.

Zhao Ji likes Concubine An very much, a different woman, and gradually promoted her to Concubine Shu, and even Concubine An is already thirty-four, and Zhao Ji still loves Concubine An.

A few years ago, Taoist priest Lin Lingsu called Zhao Ji "the eldest son of God", and was the "Immortal Emperor".

Since then, Concubine An has been given the name of "Concubine An".

Zhao Ji and Concubine An stood under the tree and looked at the few apricot blossoms on the tree.

Suddenly, a petal fell from the apricot tree and happened to fall on Zhao Ji's shoulder.

Concubine An stretched out her slender fingers and pinched the petals, and said to Zhao Ji: "Official, you see, although there are few of them, they are also extremely beautiful. ”

Zhao Ji came here to relax his nervous mood, but the recent rebellion in the Liangzhejiang region really overwhelmed him, and there was no good news from Tong Guan.

But I don't want to, but there are only a few white petals hanging on a few tall apricot trees, which makes people feel very melancholy and sad at first glance.

This undoubtedly made Zhao Ji's mood worse.

But out of love for Concubine An, Zhao Ji still reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "It's very beautiful." ”

……

Two days later, at noon, a solar eclipse suddenly occurred over Bianliang Castle in Tokyo.

In a short time, the bright sun turned blue and black, as if it had been melted gold, and the golden solution was constantly boiling and surging, and the surrounding solution was lush and green, as if a vast water wave was spinning.

This phenomenon, in this era, is called "the sun has a look".

There is calamity and suffering.

In the eyes of people in this period, this is a bad omen from heaven, which means that the emperor's actions are inappropriate, which is a warning from heaven to the emperor.

Zhao Ji was horrified and hurriedly promulgated the "Edict of Guilt": "The people are not virtuous, and the government is uneven, so that the world is chaotic and thieves." I look up to the light of the three lights, and I can't cure the masses below, and I am too much. I am willing to be virtuous and upright, and speak out, so that Kuang I can't catch it......"

Zhao Ji very much hopes to use this edict to dispel the doubts and uneasiness in the hearts of the people under his rule, as well as the misfortune that will happen to him.

It's a pity that the heavens may have seen that Zhao Ji had not yet understood the meaning of his warning, so he sent a clearer warning to Zhao Ji.

One night a few days later, Concubine An suddenly had a fever and shivered, and died within a few days, leaving Zhao Ji with three sons and one daughter.

Concubine An left very suddenly, and suddenly Zhao Ji couldn't accept it.

Be.

Zhao Ji is there are thousands of women.

But Concubine An is that different existence.

Concubine An is also known as Little Liu Guifei.

Before Concubine An, there was also a big Liu Guifei, who was also from a humble background, very beautiful, and also entered the palace in a beauty pageant, and was also promoted to a concubine step by step by a talented person, and was also favored by Zhao Ji, but the eldest Liu Guifei also died early.

Concubine Liu Guifei left Zhao Ji three sons and three daughters, and Zhao Ji's most beautiful daughter, Emperor Maode, Zhao Fujin, was born to Concubine Liu.

Since the death of Da Liu Guifei, Zhao Ji's favorite is Xiao Liu Guifei An.

Whenever Zhao Ji encounters something unpleasant, he comes to sit with Concubine An and eats a few side dishes made by Concubine An, and Zhao Ji's heart will calm down.

Who knows, in this most turbulent period of Zhao Song, Concubine An is gone, Zhao Ji doesn't know who else can calm him down in the future, just like he doesn't know how to save Zhao Song from decay......
