In Xijin Mansion, the news that the Song army was about to attack spread all over the streets and alleys, and the Liao army was on guard first. Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan were stationed early on the front line of Langoudian. By the time Tong Guan led the army to come, the soldiers and horses were already exhausted. Seeing this, Yelu Dashi shouted, "All soldiers, kill forward!"

At that time, the Liao army was killing the sky, and the morale of the soldiers was high. The Song soldiers watched the Liao army's momentum, sharp edges, and powerful offensive from afar, and they couldn't help but retreat. The Song soldiers were armed with huge sticks and swept away the Liao cavalry. Li Lianyu and Ye Feng hid in the dark early, and when they saw that the Song army was weak, they immediately flew to support. Li Lianyu saw an arrow shot at Tong Guan's eyebrows, and then shot an ice crystal to break the arrow, and said: "Tong Guan, I saved you this time because of state affairs, and you and I will revenge for personal enmity another day." ”

Li Lianyu soared in the air, absorbing the arrows of the Liao army. The two armies of Song and Liao clashed, and the front army of the Song army gradually lost its defeat, Tong Guan saw that the front army of the Song army was on the verge of rout, and had no intention of fighting again, so he ordered the troops to retreat. Under the cover of Li Lianyu, the Song army was not defeated.

Tong Guan led the army to withdraw to Xiongzhou, and Li Lianyu and Ye Feng rode back to Kaifeng.

Two days later, Li Lianyu and Ye Feng returned to Kaifeng Lanyue Tower. In the lobby of Lanyue Building, Wang Tong walked over and said, "The person the guest officer is looking for is now northwest of Kaifeng, on the bank of the Jinshui River." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Thank you shopkeeper." ”

Ye Feng shook the wine bag, and Li Lianyu knew that he wanted to sit down and drink, so he smiled and said, "I'll go alone." ”

Li Lianyu said in her heart: "The northwest of Kaifeng and the bank of the Jinshui River are the places of Tianbo Yang Mansion, and my sister and Pengju and others must be training soldiers. ”

Li Lianyu walked quickly to the northwest corner of Kaifeng City, and saw the Tianbo Yang Mansion where the scenery was no longer beautiful, and her heart was very sad. But after a blink of an eye, Li Lianyu's eyes lit up, and a majestic soldier stood in front of Li Lianyu.

Pan Ning walked to Li Lianyu's side and shouted, "Soldiers, Marshal Li has arrived." ”

I only heard a high-spirited voice: "See Marshal Lee." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Soldiers, please get up quickly." ”

At this time, there was a sound that broke through the clouds: "Yes." ”

Pan Ning and Li Lianyu walked slowly around the training ground. Pan Ning said: "After receiving the information that the imperial court has formed the Jianghu Army, all the people from all the large and small sects have come to join, and now there are more than 10,000 Jianghu people in the army, these people all have a good foundation in martial arts, and they only need to teach them combat formations." ”

Li Lianyu looked at Huang Gonglie and Yue Fei who were carefully teaching the formation of the Jianghu people, and was quite relieved. Li Lianyu looked at Mo Ruqiu and He Yunyan standing on the high platform on the other side, Li Lianyu said: "Dare to ask the six masters, what are Ruqiu and Yunyan doing?"

Pan Ning said with a smile: "Under the two young heroes of the Tianzhu Sect, they are the Xiang soldiers, township soldiers and Fan soldiers who came to support the prefectures and counties of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Li Lianyu said: "Sister's move is very good, firstly, to enhance the strength of our Jianghu army, and secondly, to enable the people in the Jianghu and the soldiers of the army to learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths." ”

Li Lianyu looked around and continued: "But why haven't you seen any trace of your sister today?"

Pan Ning said: "Zhen Yixian led the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect to collect scarce medicinal materials for use in the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom. ”

Li Lianyu said: "From the point of view of my trip to Liao, the Liao army is not vulnerable, and the Jianghu army still needs more training, and at that time, the attack on Xijin Mansion may require the help of the Jin army." ”

Pan Ning said: "It has been two years since Song and Jin signed the alliance, and at that time, the Jin army should send troops to attack Xijin Mansion with me. ”

Li Lianyu said: "It may not be so simple. Although the Song and Jin had formed an alliance, between the two countries, the Song court ignored the request of the Jin State to attack the Liao State for a long time, and remained unmoved. A few days ago, the Song court finally had a move, but it ended in failure, presumably the Jin Kingdom had long been dissatisfied with the Song court. ”

Pan Ning said: "If we attack Xijin Mansion with our strength alone, the victory or defeat is really unpredictable. ”

Li Lianyu said: "My sister pulled Wanyan Zonghan back from the Ghost Gate Pass half a year ago, presumably if my sister goes to Jinying to lobby at that time, Wanyan Zonghan will definitely come to help." ”

At this time, Yue Fei rushed to Li Lianyu's side.

Yue Fei got straight to the point and said: "Recently, Peng Ju felt that Zhen Yixian's words of 'I'm afraid that my lips will die and my teeth will be cold' some time ago, which is quite reasonable. ”

Li Lianyu said: "Pengju, you might as well speak up. ”

Yue Fei said: "Now the military strength of Song and Jin is not very balanced, and it has become an indisputable fact that Song is weak and Jin is strong, but I am afraid that after the destruction of Liao, I will be exchanged for the neighbor of the jackal, and it will be even more difficult for the mountains and rivers to be safe in the future." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Pengju, in your opinion, what should I do?"

Yue Fei said: "At present, the only way to strengthen the country and strengthen the army, when the Song army's strength can compete with the Jin army, it is advisable to break through Liao." ”

Li Lianyu smiled bitterly: "Pengju, how can I not know your truth." But now the Song State has been cowardly for many years, and the power in the court is held by Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other ministers, not to say that before the Jin State destroyed Liao, it is difficult for the Song State to have a great increase in military strength, even if I wait until I die of old age, I am afraid that the Song Army is still not the opponent of the Jin Army, so it drags on, unless Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Tang Taizong are reborn, otherwise the Southern Dynasty will not have the opportunity to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

Li Lianyu paused for a long time and said: "Now the sixteen states of Yanyun are still in the hands of the Liao State, and there is still hope for my Song Xingbing to recapture them. When Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongbi and others were in Yanjing, the Song army wanted to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun from the Jin State, wouldn't it be a plot with the tiger?"

Yue Fei looked at the soldiers on the training ground, and said in his heart: "From the perspective of General Yang's widow, this is indeed an excellent time to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but from the perspective of the whole country, I am afraid that as soon as the gap is opened, the Jin soldiers will drive straight in, and the territory lost at that time may not only be the sixteen states of Yanyun, but also the land of the Central Plains." ”

Yue Fei sighed softly, walked off the training ground, and continued to train the soldiers.

I can't help but the moonlight is gradually hazy, in the Lanyue Building, Yue Fei knocked on the door of Zhen Yue's house, Zhen Yue opened the wooden door, and said with a smile: "Pengju, what's the matter?"

Yue Fei said: "Zhen Yixian, can you go out for a walk with Pengju?"

Zhen Yue smiled and nodded, and walked with Yue Fei onto the bustling streets of Kaifeng.

Yue Fei said: "Dare to ask Zhen Yixian, what do you think of the current situation in Song Liao Jinxia?"

Zhen Yue said with a smile: "If I am the world's martial arts, I will not be in a hurry to destroy Liao, now the Great Song Dynasty army is weak, after the weak Liao is destroyed, in exchange for strong gold as a neighbor, Sheji may usher in more catastrophes, if you want to recover your homeland, the first thing is to strengthen the country and strengthen the army." ”

Yue Fei said: "I have the same meaning as Zhen Yixian. ”

Zhen Yue said: "If the military is really sharp, when is not the time to recover the homeland? In the past, Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty only led 3,000 elite cavalry to attack thousands of miles, and he was able to break through the ******, relying on the wisdom of Tang Taizong, Li Jing's heroism, and the might of the Tang army. Now in the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor loves calligraphy and painting, and the ministers of the court and the central government are all misguided people like Cai Jing and Tong Guan, and the combat power of the forbidden army is at most similar to that of the Xia army, and it cannot compete with the Jin army.

Yue Fei said with admiration: "I didn't expect Zhen Yixian to analyze current affairs so thoroughly. But dare to ask Zhen Yixian, since your thoughts are the same, why don't you listen to Mrs. Yang?"

Zhen Yue said indifferently: "After Tian Muxi left, I became a big support in Lianyu's heart, and over the years, I have always had a very good relationship with Lianyu, better than sisters with the same father and mother." Lian Yu is bent on fulfilling Tianmu's lifelong wish to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, as my sister, what else can I do besides full support? Moreover, even if I wait for a few years, Song Jun must still be so weak, and I may no longer have the opportunity to set foot on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun again. (To be continued.) )
