[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

Yelu Dashi's rough and hoarse voice echoed over the Martial Arts Field, like a cloud of lead low down.General Han continued to pretend to cough several times, raised his eyebrows at his young master, and quickly slipped aside with his spear in hand.The black-armored sergeants looked over together, their eyes were a little strange, and they didn't know whether they were looking at Zhong Yi or Liao Emperor.

Zhong Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled, and walked into the arena holding the spear.

The breeze brushed the loose hair on his shoulders, and also blew the corners of his plain white robe under the silver armor.Everything is like a slow-moving shot in a movie. The young general with silver armor, long spear, and as dangerous as a cheetah is walking towards his opponent, no, his prey, step by step.

Zhao Yuan pursed the corners of his mouth unconsciously, his eyes were a little deep.

What she felt just now was right.

He's dangerous...incomparably dangerous...

It's like a young leopard has finally grown up, showing its sharp claws and fangs at its opponent.The fierceness and sternness in those black eyes even made her feel a little startled.That incident... the impact of that incident on him was still too great after all.All families are destroyed, all families are full of blood feuds, no matter whether this account should be attributed to Xixia people or not, he has... already changed.

It is no longer a lonely green pine in the wind and snow, but a sharp long sword dyed with gold and copper.

She watched him walk towards his opponent step by step, watched the coldness in his eyes never fade away, watched the spear in his hand draw one cold arc after another, but stopped at the last moment.It is said that it only takes three strikes for a real master to make a move. When the picture finally freezes at the moment when Zhongyi's spear falls to the ground and Yelu's big stone sword rests on his neck, Zhao Yuan is so shocked that cold sweat falls down.

But her general still curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes were as deep as ever.

—He did it on purpose.

Even knowing that he did it on purpose, Zhao Yuan was still too shocked for a long time to recover.

She looked back at Emperor Liao, who smiled and frowned for a while, and nodded slightly from time to time, but the fists in his sleeves were clenched even tighter.Judging from his expression, his mood is very contradictory.

"#%&$%..." Emperor Liao whispered something.

Zhao Yuan quietly moved to the side of Han Shizhong, and asked the meaning of that sentence in a low voice.

Han Shizhong also explained in a low voice: "Emperor Liao is saying, powerful, damn powerful."

Yelu Dashi is very powerful = Yelu Dashi is the pillar of the Liao Kingdom = Liao Emperor damn should he be reused? !

In addition, Yelu Dashi once established a new emperor, Yelu Dashi himself was also surnamed Yelu, and Yelu Dashi once won the soaring favorability of the Minister of Liao by saying "Save Your Majesty at any cost"...

Seventeen or eighteen thoughts flashed through Zhao Yuan's mind, and a bold idea gradually took shape.

"Emperor Ji." Han Shizhong continued to lower his voice, "The Major General once told us that now that the Shuozhou Xinjun Horse Farm is just completed, it is not appropriate to fight with Xixia and Liao Kingdom too early. Because this kind of thing must be done in one go... ..." He paused for a while, and then continued, "Although the general doesn't understand why it must be done in one go, the general feels that what the major general said makes sense."

Zhao Yuan was amused by him.

She thought about it carefully, and said in a low voice: "It should be for the sake of the emperor and the Privy Council."

Han Shizhong was stunned, but did not continue to ask.Han Wulang is very smart, and matters involving the court and the Privy Council are beyond the reach of a foreign general.Mr. Zhong Shaolang naturally has his reasons for doing this.

The two were still confronting each other in the field, the smirk on the corner of Zhong Yi's mouth became more and more obvious, his black eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, even Zhao Yuan himself couldn't figure out what he was thinking.Yelu Dashi maintained the posture of the knife resting on the opponent's neck for a full quarter of an hour, his expression also fluctuated, and finally he glanced at Emperor Liao before slowly putting down the knife.

"You didn't do your best." Yelu Dashi said with a cold face.

"Big Shi Linya is really overrated." Zhong Yi bent down to pick up the spear, and nodded to him in a friendly way, "General Han is the most powerful warrior in our Great Song Army, and he was still suppressed by Lin Ya. And I... He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to provoke Lin Ya again?"

"Lin Ya" is the official name of Yelu Dashi, which is roughly equivalent to the "General" of the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Dashi snorted.

Zhong Yi smiled and took two steps back, nodded to him friendly, turned around and left the court.The moment he passed by Zhao Yuan's side, Zhao Yuan clearly felt the heat escaping from his body.When he looked up at him again, he had already blinked at her, and a gentle smile gradually appeared in his deep black eyes.

Emperor Liao had already stepped forward, patted Yelu Dashi on the shoulder, and laughed.Yelu Dashi also smiled and said something to Emperor Liao.The two got along very well, it seemed that the dispute last night was just an illusion of everyone present.

A good show has already been watched, and there is no point in staying any longer.

Zhao Yuan tugged the snow-white sweat towel covering his mouth and nose a little, smiled at Zhongyi, turned to leave.Now that there are outsiders around, they'd better pretend they don't know anyone.Zhong Yi also nodded with a smile, his eyes intended to appease.She had only taken two steps before she heard Yelu Dashi say behind her: "General Zhong, can we continue discussing about Xixia?"

Zhao Yuan paused.

It turned out that the reason why Yelu Dashi stayed in Shuozhou for so long was because of Xixia affairs.That's right, she and Zhong Yi did take back the Liao Emperor with the encirclement of Xixia as a bargaining chip.But that was almost a year ago.After such a long time, she thought that Yelu Dashi was not going to fulfill this promise.

Zhong Yi's clear laughter came from behind him: "It's a great honor."

Immediately, the two called for their own soldiers, and decided to convene all the people on both sides this afternoon, and then hold a new friendly military meeting to "encircle Xixia".Zhao Yuan deliberately slowed down and listened for a while longer, the outline of the bold idea in his heart became more and more clear.

She went back to her room and changed back into her women's clothes, and not long after, Zhong Yi came.

He took off the silver armor just now, and was still dressed in plain white robes.The long ink-colored hair like a crow's feathers was scattered on her shoulders, making her tall and tall.When Zhong Yi pushed the door and came in, she was still wearing her bun, watching him from the bronze mirror, walked to her side, put his hands on her side, smiled lowly, and sighed again.

"The general is getting bolder." She curled the corners of her lips.

"That's right, I'm getting bolder day by day." He lowered his head, his eyes lingering on her long black hair, but he didn't do anything special.That hug in the Far North seemed nothing more than a beautiful mistake.

"The general came to see me because of the Western Xia affairs?" She asked again.

Zhong Yi didn't answer, but asked her instead: "Why did you change back to women's clothes? This afternoon..."

"General." She smiled at him in the mirror, "Since the general is already well-established, why should I... You lost two games in a row, isn't it just for the 'encirclement'? I guess, now Emperor Liao and Yelu Dashi, it should be noisy again."

He gave a soft "huh".

"Look, I guessed right." She slowly stroked and stroked the carvings on the bronze mirror, and said in a daze, "This matter should have been borne by you, I... um, this Once, I was only responsible for fighting the fire."

Zhong Yi was startled: "Fire fighting?"

"Yes." She lowered her eyes slightly, her white jade-like fingers glowing slightly in the sun, "Whatever you want to do, just do it. Don't worry about making mistakes, or being stabbed in the back , you don’t need to worry about the Emperor’s brother or the Privy Council… I will prop up a piece of sky for you.”

She turned her head and smiled at him: "What do you agree? My Haidongqing."

He was shocked violently, and stormy waves rose in his deep eyes.She knew that she could see through everything.She knew that he wanted to provoke the relationship between Emperor Liao and Yelu Dashi, that he wanted their monarchs and ministers to be at odds, and that Shuozhou would have a chance to breathe, that he wanted to delay the encirclement of Xixia again and again, that he...

"Now the Liao Kingdom is already in the west of Xixia. Once Xixia is wiped out, Yanyun will be exposed to the iron cavalry of the Liao people. Although the cavalry of the Liao people is not as good as that of the Jin people, the new cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty is still too strong. Too weak, need time and opportunity to grow..."

She spoke slowly, her eyes were as bright as a mirror.As early as when Zhong Yi eavesdropped on Liao Emperor's quarrel with Yelu Dashi, she had already guessed his intention.Zhong Yi is a cautious person, and this will not change no matter what.Therefore, if he is not fully sure, he will not use this hard-won cavalry to practice.

"Father has given me the right to specialize in Yanyun, and I have also used a small trick to get the emperor to move back to Bianliang. Now the entire sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are your backup. Whatever you want to do, just do it " She smiled at him in the mirror again, "I'm waiting for you to sweep the Xixia and Liao kingdoms with your sword, and hire me as your wife as a prince."

"Yuan Yuan..."

"I know Brother Huang's temperament. I also know that there is a very powerful Mongolia in the north. I also know that the states are not very peaceful. The Zhong family has been guarding the border for hundreds of years. It should have a lot of experience. Thirteen Lang, I will be Shuo How about handing over the several states next to the state to you for military use?"

"I……"

"You just have to let go and do it." She turned around and smiled at him, bending her eyebrows.

The young man looked down at her, and the turmoil in his eyes gradually subsided.In the black eyes, there are two small figures reflected, focused and gentle, like sweet wine, with a slight intoxication.

"……it is good."

He nodded solemnly, and suddenly asked again: "You really don't want to know what the Liao Emperor and Yelu Dashi were arguing about just now?"

Zhao Yuan said indifferently: "It's nothing more than the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the throne, whether to go east or west, what else can we argue about?"

"No." He shook his head, "It's for the Chanyuan alliance."

"What?" Zhao Yuan was startled.
