At the end of October, the Western Liang army invaded the Central Plains and attacked Bianjing.

At the same time, Jiang Yuntian led the Western Expedition army out of Lanzhou to attack Fengxiang Mansion. The two major naval divisions of Jingdong and Huainan went out of Bohai Bay, surrounded the point and sent reinforcements, and contained the Dijon army.

Under the propaganda of the troupe, Ma Wei can be said to have a bad reputation, and people with lofty ideals from all over the country enthusiastically joined the army and joined the ranks of the national thieves, and the situation of confrontation between the north and the south reached its peak for a time.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the south is full of new soldiers, due to financial deficits, insufficient weapons and equipment, while the Xiliang army in the north has artillery and muskets, and Xiliang is a border army with rich combat experience, under many factors, Bianjing can only be forced to defend.

In the west, the Western Expeditionary Army led by Jiang Yuntian had stronger combat effectiveness and adopted an active offensive strategy.

As long as Bianjing can resist the offensive of the Western Liang Army, within three months at most, the Western Expeditionary Army will be able to break through Fengxiang Mansion and directly aim at Chang'an City, and then the Western Liang Army stationed in Luoyang will definitely withdraw to Chang'an.

In the two months at the end of the year, Song Che traveled everywhere, calling on the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to donate money to the army and deliver war materials in large quantities.

On October 22, under the flames of war, the shopping festival was held as scheduled. The southern states and counties have actively settled in, and the cheapness and discount of goods have attracted a large number of guests to consume, and the country's fiscal revenue has also increased in a straight line.

Until the end of December, when the shopping festival ended, Song Che did not carefully calculate how much wealth he had created, but with the lottery business, the wealth that the south had contributed to the country in the past two months must have far exceeded 10 million.

If you have money, the battle will naturally be easy to fight.

As a steady stream of troops and materials were sent to the front line, Bianjing, which had been defending for nearly a month, also turned from defense to attack and began to attack Luoyang.

In the spring of the fourth year of Tianyuan, on the third day of the first lunar month, the Western Expeditionary Army broke through Fengxiang Mansion. At the same time, the Hu people defeated Xiqiang, and the army was stationed on the border of Yongxing Road. The Bianjing army besieged Luoyang City on three sides. The Liang Navy attacked Dijon, and the naval battle was warned again and again.

The scales of victory began to tip to the south.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Song Che took Guo Shuyun and Ning Yehong and stepped on the passenger ship to Jinling, preparing to complete their final mission.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Song Che arrived in Jinling, and Liao Heng personally greeted him at the pier.

"How, how, is it a boy or a girl?" Song Che grabbed Liao Heng's hand and asked as soon as he got off the boat.

Liao Heng sighed: "It's a pity, it's a boy." ”

"Harm! The princess really bore him a son! Song Che greeted with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" ”

So, everyone moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

During the period of childbirth, Zhao Qin has always lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion and is taken care of by Lingzhi.

"It's worthy of Brother Jiang's son, he looks so fat!" Song Che hugged the milky little milk baby, and said to Ning Yehong beside him: "Is it good to let him be our son-in-law?" ”

Ning Yehong smiled: "I'll see it!" ”

The baby snorted twice.

"Look, he agreed."

"Hehehe......"

"I heard that the princess gave birth to a child, Wenjun specially made some clothes and these diapers...... Oh yes, these tonic prescriptions used during confinement are specially configured by me to find a miracle doctor Jian Saixian, and eat it to ensure postpartum recovery like a girl. ”

Song Che asked the servants to move all the large boxes of items to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Qin thanked him again and again, and then hurriedly pulled Song Che and Liao Heng to the side, looking a little anxious: "Brother-in-law, brother Huang, Jiang Yuntian ...... When will I be able to come back? ”

Liao Heng glanced at Song Che, "This kind of thing, you really have to be Brother Song to give an accurate head." ”

Song Che pursed his lips and thought for a moment in a reassuring tone: "Princess, don't worry, I will bring Brother Jiang back to reunite with your mother and son in February." ”

Hearing this promise, Zhao Qin suddenly brightened up and said with a smile: "I have decided with Lingzhi that I will take my son to Hangzhou for confinement tomorrow, it shouldn't disturb my sister and her business, right?" ”

Song Che said with a smile: "It's a vacation at the beginning of the year, the business is not busy, and the Yuan Festival is about to begin, just let them take you to play, and all the consumption will be recorded in my account!" ”

"Great, wonderful!"

subsequently

Song Che and Liao Heng walked through the courtyard to discuss some matters.

"Since mid-December last year, six edicts have been sent from Chang'an, saying that the war will cost the people and money, demanding that the war be stopped immediately, and that I should go to Luoyang for negotiations." Liao Heng said.

"What to talk about? Do you take turns to sit on the road? Song Che only listened to a joke, "The more they ask for a truce, the greater the internal contradictions;

Who is Ma Wei? Profit-driven people.

What is the Western Liang Army? A mixed army of dragons and snakes.

Even if you let the country out, Zhao Sui re-established as the emperor, then his imperial power in the future will be hollowed out by Ma Wei, and at that time Ma Wei can really coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and after a long time, this thief will usurp the throne and stand on his own. ”

"Brother Song, if Ma Wei defends Chang'an, can the war end in February?" Liao Heng was faintly worried.

Song Che snorted disdainfully, "Ma Wei is qualified to defend Chang'an?" And what reason is there to stick to Chang'an?

Now our two-way army of nearly 600,000 people is attacking Chang'an City, and the losses of his Xiliang army in the past few months are probably less than 100,000, and since November last year, Chang'an has been cut off from all material inflows, which is already an empty city.

Moreover, the reason why Ma Wei rebelled was that he wanted to support Zhao Sui after the restoration, so that he could become an official and become a knight, but now that Zhao Sui's defeat is a foregone conclusion, what reason does he have to support a useless monarch who can't bring him benefits?

However, Ma Wei has become a national thief that everyone shouts and beats, and the Liang Dynasty has no place for him, if he wants to survive, he will definitely abandon the city and flee outside the Guan.

The new lord of the Hu tribe, Asler, had bowed to our court, and the Xiqiang state was too weak to take in the thieves, so Ma Wei could only flee to Dijon to ask for asylum;

At present, Dijon has been pinned down by our naval division, and if he dares to send troops to deal with Ma Wei, our dynasty can directly land in the Bohai Bay.

It is impossible for the people of Dijon to be so stupid to abandon their bay for the sake of a national thief whom everyone shouts and fights. ”

"Listening to Brother Song's analysis for a while, it was like an initiation, which made me suddenly open, and the worries in my heart disappeared!" Liao Heng smiled and took out a holy decree from his sleeve, held it up and shouted:

"Song Che takes the order!"

"Is it so serious? Okay, I'll take it! ”

"I have appointed you as the minister of the Qin Mission, and I will go to Chang'an to patrol the heavens, clear out the national thieves, and welcome back the emperor!"

"Command!"

Song Che took the holy decree with both hands, opened it and glanced at it, and looked at Liao Heng in dismay: "This edict ......"

Except for the imperial seal, there was not a single text on the edict.

Liao Heng smiled: "This wordless edict, you can fill in whatever you want." ”

"Then I...... It's okay to fill in 3,000 beauties? ”

"As long as your body can afford to eat, don't say 3,000 beauties, even 30,000 I will give you!"

"Hahaha...... Thank you for your kindness, and the ministers will live up to their mission and recover Chang'an! ”
