One Piece of Song Dynasty

In the third year of Xuanhe, that is, on December 1121th in the winter of , Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda appointed Khulubo Jilie Wanyan Gao as the commander-in-chief of all internal and external armies, and appointed Yu, Zonghan, Zongqian, Zongwang, Zongwang and Zongzong. Pan and others are deputy capital commanders. On the th, Wanyan Agu issued an edict: "The political affairs of the Liao Kingdom are not managed according to the rules and disciplines, and both humans and gods have abandoned it. Today we want to realize the unification of China and foreign countries, so I order you to lead a large army to carry out a crusade. You must treat the war with caution and choose good strategies. , rewards and punishments must be clearly defined, food and wages must be kept up, do not disturb those who surrender and obey, do not indulge the soldiers to capture and plunder, proceed as soon as possible according to the situation, and do not delay the departure date. You have the right to deal with any problems, and there is no need to report. " On the th, another edict was issued: "If Zhongjing is captured, all the captured books and documents on rituals, music, and rituals will be sent to the ferry and sent back to the court."

It was already three days after Liang Xing received the news that the Jin Army had set off. Liang Xing thought for a while and called Niu San: "Niu San, send a warning message to Fan Wen and Wang Xiu to inform them that the Jin Army has gone to them." Go there and let them prepare in advance.”

Niu San replied: "Yes, Langjun."

Liang Xing asked: "Have all the Shuixianju personnel in Dading Mansion in Zhongjing been evacuated?"

Niu San nodded and said: "Yes, we evacuated a long time ago."

Liang Xing said: "Okay, after sending this news to your Excellency, I will inform Deputy Commander Zhao to come over in the evening."

Niu San cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Mr. Lang, I will do it now."

After Niu San left, Liang Xing continued to pace around the house. Qinglian came over and saw Liang Xing and asked, "What's wrong with you? You're so restless."

Liang Xing sighed and said: "The Kingdom of Jin has finally sent troops. This time Daliao may be in danger. This place will also become a battlefield after the New Year. I am a little worried about our situation."

Qinglian lay on Liang Xing's chest and said, "It's okay, officer, we should trust your judgment."

Liang Xing said: "I hope so, where are the children?"

Qinglian replied: "The wet nurse is playing with the two children."

Liang Xing said thoughtfully: "Qinglian, I haven't heard you sing for a long time. Come and sing "Where the Stars Are" to someone, so that someone can calm down his restless heart."

Qinglian said: "Okay, I will go get the piano now."

Soon Qinglian brought the piano that Liang Xing gave her and set it up. When the melodious song "Where the Stars Are" played, Liang Xing's restless heart began to calm down.

After Zhao Yun received Niu San's message, he quietly came to Liang Mansion at night.

Liang Xing met Zhao Yun and said, "Brother Zhao, you must already know this."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Yes, even if Niu San doesn't come to inform me, I will come to you tonight."

Liang Xing said: "I'm afraid Daliao will be in trouble this time."

Zhao Yun said thoughtfully: "Yes, this time the Jin Kingdom used half of its troops to attack Liao, and % of the people who were deployed were sent out."

Liang Xing thought for a while and said: "This is a perfect opportunity to observe the Jin Army's combat power up close. Brother Zhao has made all the arrangements."

Zhao Yun replied: "Brother Liang, don't worry, everything has been arranged. How are you doing there?"

Liang Xing replied: "I have asked Niu San to send a secret message to Mr. Wang Xiu and Mr. Fan Wen, asking them to be prepared. If the Jin army wants to capture Dading Mansion, the two gentlemen will definitely bear the brunt. I just don't know. Are you two gentlemen ready?"

Zhao Yun said: "Well, I believe that the two gentlemen have already prepared. Now we are just waiting for the results."

Liang Xing sighed: "It's hard for the two gentlemen. They are put in such a dangerous position. Now we can only hope that everything will go well."

A few days later, Li Xin received Liang Xing's secret letter. Liang Hongyu hesitated after translating Liang Xing's secret letter. Li Xin saw Liang Hongyu's hesitation and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Liang Hongyu replied: "Let the officials take a look."

Li Xin took the secret letter and looked at it and said, "It has finally begun."

Liang Hongyu asked uneasily: "Should I tell sister Yu Liyan that this is her mother country after all?"

Li Xin frowned and said, "Don't tell her yet, the New Year will be coming soon, wait until after this New Year."

Liang Hongyu nodded and said: "Yes, officer, sister Yu Liyan is really pitiful. She was kidnapped by the officer to this isolated island without any relatives. Now her mother country is suffering from such a disaster. If sister Yu Liyan knew about it, I don't know what would happen. So sad"

Li Xin said thoughtfully: "That is better than watching your country perish and then being captured by the enemy. I don't think I need to tell you what the consequences of being captured by the enemy are like for a woman, let alone Yu Liyan." She is also a woman from the Liao royal family, so I can be considered as saving her."

Liang Hongyu snorted coldly: "Tsk, the official is obviously attracted by the beauty of sister Yu Liyan, and he still talks about it so grandly."

Li Xin said: "I admit that I fell in love with her beauty. Of course, madam, I do the same to you, but in addition to beauty, I value your virtues more. It is not enough for a woman to have beauty, she must also have better virtues." , with a broader mind, a woman can keep a man for a while just by her beauty, but she cannot keep a man for a lifetime."

Liang Hongyu snorted and left. In the following days, Li Xin was busy preparing for the New Year. Xinghan Island was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and people prepared all kinds of New Year goods in preparation for the New Year.

"Brothers and sisters, you're busy," Li Fang called as she came in.

Wang Lan replied: "Sister, why are you here?"

Li Fang said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year. Let me see what you are missing. Our parents are no longer here, and my brother Lei Zi is no longer here. As an elder sister, I should come over and take a look. After all, Lei Zi is still here." Leaving behind one nephew and one niece.”

Wang Lan wiped her face and said, "Sister, please sit down quickly. I don't need anything. Your Excellency just sent someone to deliver some New Year's goods to my family a few days ago."

Li Fang nodded and said: "Well, the adults are very kind to us. In the two years since we landed on Xinghan Island, our family's life is much better than before. There is no shortage of food and clothing, and the children also have books to read." Oh, by the way, my nieces and nephews, why didn’t I see them?”

Wang Lan said: "It's the school holiday. The two children have gone out to play. Life is good, but Lei Zi is gone, so we three are left to live."

Li Fang sighed: "Yeah, I didn't expect that my brother would be gone after he left for more than a year. By the way, Lei Zi is gone. Will your brothers and sisters take care of the fifty acres of land?"

Wang Lan shook her head and said: "I can't help with the two children going to school. I can't take care of it by myself, so I applied to the adults to exchange fifty acres of land for two shops. After the New Year, I will start a small business. This way, I can take care of my two children and go to school, not be so tired, and earn a little money.”
