In the great victory of Hehuadian, more than [-] people from the [-]th Dragon and Tiger Guard led by Chang Qinghe killed more than [-] rebels at a cost of more than [-] casualties, and more than [-] former Shanhaiguan defenders surrendered. In addition, more than [-] people were killed or injured by the twelve Jurchen tribes, and the main force of [-] people retreated four hundred miles away.

Although this battle was tragic, they were able to defeat the many with the few, defeat the strong with the weak, and stop the foreign enemy who slaughtered ten cities in one fell swoop. Chang Qinghe even went into danger himself to lure the enemy into deep, and won a complete victory.

When Chang Qinghe shouted to boost morale in front of the battle, it could be said that the whole army was jubilant, but the Tongzhi, Qianshi, and thousands of households standing behind him were a little complicated.Because when Liang Guanjing went to the Changqing River tent for a meeting last night, she didn't wear a man's bun on her head. After she fought bloody battles, she washed herself in an upstream stream in Hehuadian, and Xiyu beside her prepared clothes for her. , and bandaged the small wound on her body.When she reappeared, her wet hair was still loose, and her clothes were borrowed from a nearby farmer's house, obviously women's clothes.Her lips were not tinged with vermilion, and her hair seemed to have a faint fragrance. After the belt was tightened, her figure was even more exquisite and graceful. When she walked past the fellow military masters like this, everyone looked sideways, and even never looked at women. Chang Qinghe, who took a second look, turned pale with shock.

Chang Qinghe bowed down immediately, shouting thousand years three times, to welcome the Empress, and the generals around him also bowed to Liang Guanjing.

Liang Guanjing helped him up, and first congratulated Chang Qinghe for his great victory in this battle, and said that she would go to the court, play the role of the emperor, and give him a proper promotion.

Chang Qinghe was very modest, saying that the victory in this battle was all due to the empress's planning and planning, and the green gauze tent took the lead, bravely and strategically rebelling against the rebels in Shanhaiguan. , the result of the capture of the thief leader.

Liang Guanjing helped the left and right one by one again, and the casualties in this battle were equally heavy. If you didn't have the bloody battle, you would not have won today's victory. This feat belongs to everyone, everyone, don't be humble.

Liang Guanjing greatly praised all the officers, then changed the subject, saying that she had come to Yanmen Pass for a private visit on the basis of the emperor's secret decree, and that the matter was confidential so she did not intend to reveal her identity and let the whole army know that the Empress Dowager was in it. I have applied for a position of thousands of households. If anyone is suspicious, I hope you just don't know.She is also Captain Zhongxian Dong Yiming, the adult Qianhu who makes people say that he is not a man or a woman behind his back.

There was only a laugh in the tent for a moment, and someone bowed their hands to apologize, saying that they had indeed spoken ill of the empress behind their backs, and the word "neither man nor woman" was used among them.

Liang Guanjing said: "Mr. Dong is indeed a bit of a man and a woman. I don't blame you for saying it. I have heard of worse things."

Everyone was terrified and came to plead guilty one after another. Liang Guanjing smiled heartily, "Why are you still called Empress Empress? Where did Empress Empress come from here? There is only Dong here."

Chang Qinghe said with a smile: "Dong Liuye is a real hero! Who dares to say that in the future, I will cut off his tongue and serve Liuye wine!"

For a while, the empress was no longer called in the hall, and Dong Liuye and Dong Liuye came to make friends with Liang Guanjing one after another.Liang Guanjing changed the subject at the right time and asked everyone to discuss what to do next.

Some people suggested that we should take advantage of the victory and rush to Xingzhou. The Jurchens were short of food and grass but wanted a quick battle.

There are also people who are smarter, and when they see Liang Guanjing, they just smile and don't say a word, so they ask Master Dong Liu what he thinks.

Liang Guanjing first asked Chang Qinghe what he meant, and Chang Qinghe felt that it was reasonable to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Liang Guanjing said: "I have a somewhat different opinion from you, it may be a woman's foolish opinion."

Chang Qinghe came to ask for advice in fear.

"As the saying goes: Generals abroad will not accept military orders. Master Chang gathered more than [-] troops at Yanmen and other checkpoints to block the twelve foreign enemies of Jurchen. When things happened suddenly, Lord Chang made plans to attack and act resolutely. However, at this time, the capital may not I don’t know that we have a great victory in the lotus lake here, and the imperial court is about to dispatch troops to prepare food and grass. If the news of the great victory in the lotus lake comes back to the capital, the emperor will be happy, and there will be no matter how many rewards. If we wait for the capital to go north, all of us here will The fight is over, have you ever thought about what the emperor would think? You asked the Yanmen Gate from Shanhaiguan to let Shang Changbo monopolize the power without being restrained. It is a crime of negligence. Taking advantage of the loophole, can you explain to the emperor that you have reminded the emperor several times before and asked Shang Changbo to be transferred from Shanhaiguan, is it because the emperor does not listen?"

Chang Qinghe's complexion changed drastically.

"This is one of them." Liang Guanjing went on to say, "Whenever there is a danger at the border, they will always write to the court and invite soldiers and horses to fight. Although this process is cumbersome, the rules set by the Taizu Emperor, the rules of the previous dynasties This is the way to do it, and there is a reason for doing so. The commander-in-chief sent by the imperial court is the one who acts according to the order. His division is famous, and he goes north to quell the chaos. Mr. Chang privately dispatched soldiers and horses to wipe out [-] soldiers and horses in the north in one fell swoop. There is also a Liang empress mixed in, dare to ask, how could there be such a strong general as Lord Chang during the Seven Kings' Rebellion? Today the emperor has given you a reward for his own face, and in the future it is hard to guarantee that he will find a way to punish you. This is the second."

These words made Chang Qinghe and several officers under him break out in cold sweat.

"The great victory in Hehuadian was forced by the situation. Now that we have the chance to win, it is a good time to count our troops, regroup, and wait for the capital. The Jurchen Twelve Departments must not dare to advance rashly at this time. Now they are in chaos in Xingzhou. People can lead the army to fight. If we win the battle, everyone's official career may be planted in disaster. If there are capable people with lofty ideals to point out, their main force still exists, and there are many elite soldiers. It is a desperate move to come to the pass. , A desperate battle. If there is such a battle, it will not be like the situation in Hehuadian. Uncle Shang's troops stand in front of the Jurchen, and their morale is already weak, so they can easily instigate rebellion. The Jurchen watched the battle from behind. If you get involved, you will run fast if you don't like fighting, so next time we may not be able to win. If there is no emperor's will to send troops privately, it will be fine if we win, and if we lose... the court will still care about our past. Is it the meritorious service of Hehuadian Great Victory?"

Li Mingtang rushed to Chang Qinghe and said: "What Dong Qianhu said is very true. Few of the founding fathers with great military exploits have come to a good end since ancient times. What we have achieved in Hehuadian is even less worth mentioning. You must know how to protect yourself wisely."

Chang Qinghe said to Liang Guanjing: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. Mr. Dong Liu, you have been taught." After that, he turned and sat in the handsome chair above, "Pass my order, all departments rest, count heads, and set up camp. , retreat to Peiping."

After this meeting, the next day Qinghe shouted in the army to boost morale, went to the barracks to condolences to the wounded soldiers, and set aside time to dig pits and erect monuments to bury the fallen soldiers.Even the letters and pensions to the families of the brothers who died in the war were written by themselves, and they personally intervened. Those whose families were near Yanmen Pass did not send cronies there, and ran errands to do it in person.

After two days of busy work like this, the news of the great victory at Hehuadian reached the other party almost at the same time as the imperial decree from the capital. Whether the emperor was happy or not, Chang Qinghe couldn't see it anyway. Chang Qinghe rolled up the secret letter handed over by the spies, almost wiping away his cold sweat.

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, fortunately I didn't disgrace my life." Chang Qinghe laughed, served the spies well and then sent him back to Beijing to return to his mission.

Chang Qinghe found Liang Guanjing and Xiyu's master and servant who were wandering by the lake in Wengshan Po, and he praised her for her ingenuity and thanked her for saving her life.

"A companion is like a tiger. The emperor and empress have been husband and wife for many years. After all, the empress knows how to figure out the holy will. If I don't have my mother's advice, I don't know how I died." Chang Qinghe sighed again.

Liang Guanjing said: "I've said it all, don't call me Queen outside, you don't mind, you can call me Brother Zhongjin. Your position is above me, and it's not appropriate to call me Liuye Liuye. It's not right to call me brother and brother." It's very intimate, and it's hard for others to say anything."

"Yes, yes, yes! What brother Zhongjin said is absolutely true."

"Besides, don't try to figure out the holy will. The holy will is unpredictable. Since ancient times, few people who are good at trying to figure out the holy will have a good end. It's your duty to do your part, including keeping you in Beiping. That's what it means."

Chang Qinghe nodded repeatedly.

Liang Guanjing pointed to the surface of the water and said: "You see, the opposite side is the former palace in Beiping. After Emperor Tai-zu took over the world, the Jinshan here was renamed Wengshan, and the lake formed by the Jinshan River was also renamed Wengshanpo. The Mongols have only ruled the Central Plains for a hundred years, but the houses they built have a Jiangnan style.”

Chang Qinghe also followed her instructions to see the buildings and palaces across the lake, but he didn't know what she was doing here to see them.

"If the emperor intends to move the capital, the northern border will be able to maintain stability for a hundred years, and will not repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty."

Chang Qinghe said: "I heard that the emperor is also a person from the south of the Yangtze River, so he probably doesn't like the style of the northern land."

Liang Guanjing wondered: "Your Majesty is a person from the south of the Yangtze River, where did you start?"

"I also went to Beijing to receive a reward. I have seen Shengyan from a distance. I said that the emperor is not like father and son with the Tai-zu emperor. It probably followed the mother's appearance. The emperor's biological mother should be a beautiful woman from the south of the Yangtze River, right?"

Liang Guanjing couldn't help laughing, "Lord Chang, you really are a good man. You have seen what the emperor looks like so carefully. Don't talk about what you said just now, otherwise it will be a serious crime of beheading." .”

Chang Qinghe stuck out his tongue, "Misfortune comes from the mouth."

Liang Guanjing said: "The emperor is not the direct son and grandson of the Tai-zu emperor who passed on the throne. You also said that he does not look like the Tai-zu emperor, which is a big taboo for him. You also speculate that his biological mother is a beautiful woman from the south of the Yangtze River. He I have asked the official historian to edit the book, and I believe that I am the second son of the original consort of Emperor Taizu, Empress Chen. It does not matter whether future generations believe it or not, you, a military general of the dynasty, pointed out another biological mother to him, you are simply..." Liang Guanjing pointed at Chang Qinghe's The nose didn't get angry either, it was a look of gloating.

Chang Qinghe covered his mouth, "I don't dare to talk about the life of the emperor anymore."

While talking, suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes on the lake embankment, and Ling Shishi came galloping with a person. From a distance, she could see that her clothes were fluttering, and she was obviously a woman.

When he got to him, Ling Shishi said, "My lords, this girl came from Song City and has something important to tell you."

The girl behind him got off the horse, but it was Qianshanxue, she didn't have time to salute, she just said: "The Mongols broke through the Yanmen Pass, Songcheng is gone."

Liang Guanjing was shocked and was at a loss for a while, so he rushed forward and said, "What did you say?"

Qian Shanxue's hands trembled, and her palms were covered with frayed and unworn blood bubbles from holding the reins of the horse for several days, and her breath was broken. Looking at Liang Guanjing, she opened her mouth to say something, but there was only one word He couldn't say anything, but fell into Liang Guanjing's embrace with weakness all over his body.
