[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

Her cold is getting worse.

I don't know what kind of medicine the military doctor gave her. After drinking a bowl of dark water every day, she can always sleep in Zhongyi's arms for half a day.Zhong Yi didn't bother her, he always held her in his arms with one arm, and stroked the sharp sword with the other hand, as if he was waiting for something.

Occasionally, a few sparks burst out from the bright candle, and he lowered his head slightly, with a faint anger in his pair of lacquered eyes.

The soldiers said that the general was getting more and more eccentric and unpredictable.A young man who was originally so mature and prudent, but now he is not shy about sharing the same account with his fiancée; the originally respectful and gentle gentleman, his eyes are as sharp as a knife's edge.

——If you think about it carefully, the change began about last spring.

At that time, the grass was growing and the warbler was flying, and the camel bells were ringing in the desert. Empress Roufu returned from the Western Regions and brought some good and not bad news to the general.After that, the general became more and more silent.

Then the general led [-] dead soldiers across the vast Gobi, with sharp blades, and boundless flames of war spread under the boundless moonlight.Everyone knew that he was out for revenge, for the old general.

I still remember that day, the Northwest Zhong family was full of loyalty, and the whole family was destroyed.

In the end, he beheaded the enemy with his own hands, and knelt in front of more than one hundred newly erected tombstones in Zhongjia, with red eyes.Even such a general who stood proudly in the flames of war, guarding the three passes and a prestigious general, couldn't help sobbing.

At that time, Roufu Emperor Ji had already gone to Bianliang, and created a miracle unparalleled in the world for His Royal Highness.

At that time, all traces of the Xixia Kingdom had been wiped out, and General Zhong became the new evil spirit in the desert.Until the envoys from Xiliao went to Bianjing and returned, Xiliao, Tufan, and Mongolia, where the water and grass gathered in the north, somehow started to be in chaos again.

Everyone said that he was a man who was born in the flames of war, and he was born to guard Yanmen Gate with a knife.

Everyone also said that he was born to kill God.

He lowered his head, and slowly caressed her cheek with his slender knuckles, with thin calluses on his fingertips, a little tender and a little sad.

"Yuan Yuan." He called her in a low voice, but the voice didn't sound like his own, "Have you ever regretted it?"

——Regret about entering into a marriage contract with him, regret entrusting this life to him.

——But in this world, there is never any medicine for regret.

He clenched the sharp sword unconsciously, a strange look gradually settled in his deep eyes, his breathing gradually became heavy, and he hugged her more and more tightly, almost rubbing her into his body.

Zhao Yuan was still in a deep sleep, unaware of everything that happened around him.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I have to admit that this is an excellent move." He rested his stiff chin on her shoulder, and gradually closed his eyes. His long and thick eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows under the candlelight, "The troops were divided into the Northeast, and the prince was in charge of the army. He immediately tied the prince to the military officer's chariot. In addition to the prince's usual literary talent and the prince's astonishing prestige, even if the princes of the Eastern Mansion objected—"

His voice suddenly became low and hoarse, "But the key to this matter is that the northwest must not be messed up."

"So I have to stick to Yumen Pass, and I even have to transfer Yanmen guards to Yumen Pass—"

"Under this stalemate, Song and Xiliao will lose if they don't win."

"So someone must break this situation. And this person... can only be you."

"It can only be...you."

He said bitterly, with a bit of gnashing of teeth.

"You do that every time."

"Even if I know that you have the ability to penetrate the heavens and penetrate the earth, I don't want to—I don't want to watch you and take risks alone."

"Yuan Yuan, I...I really would rather you sleep peacefully in my arms like this, and sleep all day and all night, than watch you and risk yourself alone."

As he spoke, he felt a little sad suddenly, looking up at the flickering candle, a trace of deep pain flashed in his eyes.

"Yuan Yuan, am I useless?"

The woman in her arms groaned and groaned lightly, seeming to be raving, but also seeming to be answering.

"Grandfather told me that after the collapse of the Xiliao state, there was a group of sheep that lost their sharp teeth. But now, this group of sheep is ruled by a very cunning and vicious hungry wolf. Yuan Yuan, according to the history books , the Liao Kingdom once had a very powerful empress dowager..."

After the Xiao Dynasty in the Northern Liao Dynasty, it can be regarded as an exhaustive strategy, which can be called a generation of legends.

"But ever since the Queen Mother passed away, the Liao Kingdom has declined. My grandfather waited for this opportunity all his life, but he never got it. But now, I have it. Yuan Yuan," he lowered his head, said slowly, "even if If you don't tell me, I will definitely give the Liao army a head-on blow."

Only for the blood shed by the Tongguan Western Army for hundreds of years, and only for the loyalty of the Northwest Zhong clan.

He raised his head, looked at the vast night outside the tent, carefully placed the woman in his arms on the couch, and tucked the quilt for her.Then, as if he had made up his mind, he tightened his armor and walked out of the army tent with his sword in hand.

"Lang Jun." There were already people waiting outside.

"What's wrong?" He deliberately lowered his voice.

"As expected by my lord—Emperor Ji, after the division of troops in the Northeast, the shackles went to Gubeikou one after another. There was news from Bianjing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in charge of the military camp in person. will."

He gave a low "hmm", noncommittal.

"Lang Jun..." The man seemed a little worried, but also a little surprised, "Is it really appropriate to ask Han Wulang to help the Yue family's army?" You must know that Han Shizhong's soldiers are also very powerful.

He laughed softly: "...The most powerful under Han Wulang's command is the Navy."

In this place of thousands of miles of yellow sand and thousands of acres of Gobi, it would be great to occasionally have a small oasis. How can there be room for General Han to show off his demeanor?Ordering him to go east is probably the best choice.

The sound of the footsteps of the two gradually receded and disappeared in the night.

"Take care of Di Ji."

"At least let her 'sleep' for a month and a half. If she wakes up, tell me that there is a shortage of good doctors in our army..."

In the sixth year of Jingkang, the most elite new army of the Song Dynasty finally galloped westward from the lush Hetao Plain.

Officials gave the name "Cangyun" to show their favor.

According to later history books, Cangyun rode out, and Mobei has never been defeated since then.

--------

"He is really too much!"

In the tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Yuan rubbed the center of his brows fiercely, feeling dizzy and lingering for a long time.The military doctor at the side held a bowl of pitch-black medicinal soup and begged her to drink it.If she hadn't seen the military doctor's gray hair and hard work, she would have rushed out, snatched a war horse, and headed west to the desert.

General Zhong did it himself.

He swept away the cautious and mature style of the past, and personally led the troops to attack, using advance as retreat and offense as defense.

Cang Yunqi went deep into Moxi and Mobei all the way, and was promoted to the most powerful branch of the Western Army, like a sharp knife, cutting Xiliao's throat with each knife.The strong soldiers and strong horses in the early Han Dynasty are no longer myths. The Mobei iron cavalry equipped with good horses, good bows and sufficient food and grass gave the emperor of Xiliao a head-on blow.

It is said that General Zhong has been promoted from Mobei Shashen to Mobei Shura, no matter Liao army or Tufan army, he will die if he touches it.

"...It's really, really too much!"

Zhao Yuan repeatedly accused General Zhong of self-assertion, but the military doctor at the side was unmoved at all, but kept saying over and over again that Di Ji should take the medicine as soon as possible, only after taking the medicine can the body be better, only when the body is cured In order to share more blame for the general.You know, the general went all the way into the desert, and it was very difficult to raise food and grass...

Zhao Yuan really wanted to rub the handkerchief to shut his mouth, but the other party was really old, and she had to respect the old man.

She snatched the medicine bowl resentfully and drank it in one gulp, clutched her chest and coughed a few times, called a guard outside the tent, and ordered him to tell her the situation of the past half month in detail, without missing a single word .

The guards didn't dare to touch Di Ji's bad luck, so they naturally said everything, without missing a word.

Da Song was like a fierce tiger with fangs and claws, finally licking off the mottled blood on his body, revealing his sharp fangs.

To the east, the crown prince personally sat in the capital camp, and together with the Yue family army, they swept across the pass and killed Jin Guo's hometown.

Fearing that the prince might make a mistake, the Lords of the East Mansion focused their attention on the east side one by one.Even the two gentlemen who were originally stationed in the northwest rushed to follow, and by the way, they also took away the most powerful of the Western Army, the leading general was the famous Han Wulang Han Shizhong.

As soon as the supervising soldiers left, the Western Army, which had been being followed for a long time, finally calmed down, and Cang Yun rode out, pointing his sword at the desert.

But the Northeast is backed by the relatively affluent Yanzhou and Zhuozhou, but the Northwest, which has always been barren, seems a little stretched.

She listened slowly to what the guard said, and finally had a rough and clear outline of the situation at hand.If we say that Da Song in the second year of Jingkang was a dilapidated carriage that had to be supported steadily by her to run forward, then Da Song today is a Mercedes-Benz filled with gas, He charged forward with all his strength, no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't stop.

Da Song held it in for too long, and also held it in too hard.

This time, if he did not beat the surrounding wolves severely, he would definitely not withdraw his attack.

Zhao Yuan let out a long breath, turned his head to look at the military doctor, and said in a more relaxed tone, "Just now you said that there are some food shortages in the army?"

"Exactly." The military doctor nodded, shook his snow-white beard again, and said as he exited the military tent, "This matter is so important, I dare not make a claim, it's better to ask the food and grass officer to explain it to Di Ji."

Zhao Yuan nodded, and there was a slight look of approval in his eyes.

After a while, a tall and thin general walked in outside the tent.He nodded towards Zhao Yuan, said "forgive me for being in armor, it's inconvenient to salute", and then began to complain seriously.

First of all, General Zhong left half of the fish talisman on Di Ji, saying that if he was not around, then Di Ji would take care of everything.

Zhao Yuan squeezed the warm fish talisman in his arms, and decided to settle accounts with him after the battle was over.How can an army talisman be thrown on someone else casually?Even if she is a princess of a country, even if she is his fiancee!

The grain and grass officer also said that there are three grain roads in the west, one is the military fields in the Ganlong area, the other is the grain and grass transported westward from the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and the third is Sichuan and Shu, which is known as the land of abundance.But now that it is midsummer, the rain is abundant, and the road is getting more and more difficult to walk.Therefore, the Xiang army transporting food, grass and luggage became more and more tired and lazy, complaining endlessly.

Zhao Yuan nodded, and said "huh".

She probably knew what Zhong Yi meant.

In this world, if there is anyone who can transport a large amount of military rations quietly, then she is the only one, Zhao Yuan.

She understands this secret, and he also understands it, but no third person in the world can know it.

"You can leave this matter to me, my lord can rest assured." Zhao Yuan forced himself to stand up, rubbing the center of his brows, and the feeling of dizziness gradually dissipated.

The grain and grass officer responded yes, and handed over the seal and signature of the western army's allocation of grain and grass together with the detailed location to Zhao Yuan, and bowed out of the account.
