In April of the first year of Longxing, Emperor Zhao Yan saw that the time was ripe, and in order to prevent the opposition from intervening, he bypassed the three provinces and the Privy Council, and directly issued an edict to Zhang Jun and the generals of the Northern Expedition, and the Northern Expedition of Longxing officially began.

After receiving the edict of the Northern Expedition, Zhang Jun transferred 80,000 troops, known as 200,000, one route was led by Li Xianzhong to receive Lingbi, and the other route was commanded by Shao Hongyuan to capture Hongxian County (now Sixian County, Anhui).

Kang Yue, as Zhang Jun's deputy general, took Gao Wa and Le'er to participate in the Northern Expedition, and Gao Wa was responsible for all matters related to the female soldiers and their families.

In May, Li Xianzhong successfully conquered Lingbi, but Shao Hongyuan could not attack Hongxian for a long time, so Li Xianzhong sent Lingbi to persuade him to surrender, and the Hongxian guards gave up resistance.

Shao Hongyuan, on the other hand, was ashamed that Hongxian's military exploits were not due to himself, and he had a grudge against Li Xianzhong. Li Xianzhong suggested taking advantage of the victory to attack Suzhou (present-day Suzhou, Anhui), but Shao Hongyuan did not move.

Li Xianzhong could only lead his troops to conquer Suzhou alone, and the city was broken, and Shao Hongyuan's troops entered the battle. The discord between the two generals had a great side impact on the subsequent Northern Expedition.

The Song army conquered Suzhou and won a great victory on the front, which greatly encouraged Zhao Yan, but the contradiction between the two generals on the front line tended to intensify.

Zhao Yansheng promoted Li Xianzhong to Huainan, Jingdong, and Hebei to recruit envoys, and Shao Hongyuan to serve as deputy envoys, but he was ashamed to be under Li Xianzhong's position, and expressed his refusal to accept Li Xianzhong's moderation to coach Zhang Jun.

And Zhang Jun was originally a civilian official, upright, daring to give direct advice, and good at uniting various figures, but he was really not very good at military affairs, so he accommodated Shao Hongyuan's request.

Later, Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan had a dispute over the issue of the reward of the Suzhou Treasury, and the Southern Song Dynasty army was full of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, once instigated, people's hearts immediately floated, and the Northern Expedition thus cast a shadow.

On this day, on the front line, in order to boost morale and select outstanding talents, coach Zhang Jun held a martial arts competition in the military middle school.

The competition began, Zhang Jun and Kang Yue sat under the banner of the Chinese army, holding tea, and happily watching the soldiers' competition.

Le'er won the first place in horseback archery, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds were unbeatable, especially the huge strength, just like Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin back then, and won the three armies.

Coach Zhang Jun Dayue announced that Leer was a pioneer officer on the spot, opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water. Sisi had been invited into the palace by the queen before the start of the Northern Expedition to teach the queen to learn female red.

The queen was born in a scholarly family, dignified and generous, upright, broad-minded, and took care of the harem in an orderly manner, and the concubines respected her very much.

Since Emperor Zhao Yan came out of Kang Yue's house and returned to the palace that day, he has been thinking about Sisi day and night, and often calling Sisi's name in his dreams.

After the emperor woke up, the queen asked the emperor if he really liked Sisi, so she decided to make the emperor Nasisi the imperial concubine.

She has also heard of Sisi's beauty for a long time, and this time she approached Sisi to the harem in the name of letting Sisi teach the queen's female red, and as soon as she saw Sisi, the queen was immediately conquered by Sisi.

The queen is already very beautiful, and she is knowledgeable, tolerant, and not jealous of other concubines.

When I saw Sisi this time, I felt that Sisi was more beautiful than myself, so I left Sisi in the palace.

Sisi and the queen have a similar temperament and are both broad-minded, so they became sisters in private. The queen prayed with Sisi every day for the soldiers, hoping that the class would return to the court as soon as possible.
