The footsteps of the Mongol Empire's conquest will never take the initiative to stop until it can't be beaten.Since the cross-border communication, the binding force of "not attacking each other" has suddenly dropped, and the Mongolian soldiers have to cross a boundary from time to time.Wanyankang hated his teeth itching, but because of the domestic need to recuperate, and Shandong and other places were still damaged by war, they were unable to carry out a large-scale counterattack. They went deep into the grassland and taught Mongolia a profound lesson so that it would no longer invade the border.

In desperation, Wanyan Kang could only sit in the middle of the town by himself, and then bitterly do something he despised very much before - deploying defenses along the Great Wall.

There is no other way but to treat the head for the headache and the foot for the foot.Even the previous economic blockade has lost its sharpness due to the expansion of Mongolia's territory. In the past, it was more effective for various tribes to support agents and provoke civil strife, because the unification of the grasslands did not work.

Farming versus nomadism, when the savings are insufficient, it is so aggrieved.

In fact, compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, Wanyan Kang is considered better.He can also set up defenses along the Great Wall, and will light up soldiers and horses to fight back when he is poked out with real fire. He can chase places all the way to fight to show that he is not easy to mess with.Mongolia is not ready to concentrate its superior forces to fight him in a decisive battle, so the two families just tickle me and I tickle you.The Southern Song Dynasty was more depressed. No one thought that Mongolia was really so angry, and the outflanking and outflanking range was so large!

The deployment of defense in the Southern Song Dynasty was mainly focused on the north, but also in the west, but the southwest direction was not the focus.The strategy of the great detour and outflanking should have been implemented only in the time of Kublai Khan, but now because Wanyankang blocked the north, it appeared ahead of schedule.The Southern Song Dynasty did not pay corresponding attention.

In this regard, Wan Yankang was powerless, the Southern Song Dynasty did not believe him, and he did not have the sentiment to take chestnuts for the Southern Song Dynasty.The reason why he didn't take advantage of the fire was because he needed to digest the income he had now, and...to get married at the request.

In the past, it could be said that due to years of wars and busy affairs, there was no time to start a family.Now the other two families are huddling together, and they are just making small troubles with themselves. If they don't take this opportunity to hold a happy event, when would it be more appropriate?

When Bao Xiruo said this, Wanyan Kang was sitting opposite her drinking tea, and sprayed the table with a puff.The maid hurriedly came up to clean the table and change tea, Bao Xiruo asked helplessly, "What are you so awkward about?"

Wanyan Kang wiped his mouth and asked, "How did Ah Heng tell you?"

Bao Xiruo asked in surprise, "How do you know what Ah Heng said to me?"

Wan Yankang said: "Besides him, who else is there?"

"He said it well, you are also old."

"He hasn't got a family yet."

Bao Xiruo said: "Don't get involved with me, his family decides his affairs. I'm talking about you now."

"I'm not awkward," Wan Yankang said calmly, "You can choose. Anyway, no one who has ever lived with me can make me unhappy."

"That's fine too." Bao Xiruo didn't hesitate, as his parents' order and matchmaker's words all came here.Even though he had doubts, his son agreed.As for whether the candidate is suitable to be the mother of the country, someone in front will check it.After passing the previous checkpoint, she will see if this person will take care of her son, and it will be appropriate.

Wanyan Kang puffed up her cheeks: "It's still a little bit awkward."

Bao Xiruo said: "He told me that if there are queens and concubines, there must be several people. If there are more alternatives, if they feel inappropriate, they will be sent back home with money. I think not too many, you What do you say? Otherwise, when you are newly married, you still stick to someone, and you feel uncomfortable."

Wanyan Kang was stunned for a moment: "One is enough for me!"

Bao Xiruo happily said: "That's good. I'll show you a few good girls to choose from. Tell me quietly whoever you like. I'll take it as my choice. The other girls are not bad, they are You don't hit it off with me. So you don't get gossips after you go back, okay?"

Wanyan Kang said: "Okay."

Since he agreed, Tu Shanheng first brought many noble family backgrounds to him for selection.Tu Shanheng's choices are all from great family backgrounds. Their ancestors are either Qingliu or literary masters, or they are from a family of meritorious service.Wan Yankang said: "I won't look at it, isn't it undignified to choose a wife like this?" Tu Shanheng rolled his eyes: "Didn't these people weigh you?"

Wanyan Kang was dumbfounded, and piled the scrolls back on the table: "Didn't you tell my mother to read it before showing it to me?"

Tu Shanheng glanced at him with contempt: "I'll give you a chance to repent, don't you want?"

Wan Yankang laughed loudly: "Up to now, I don't know what to do. No one can let their daughter get along with me for a while, and see if I am compatible with her. If they are not compatible, then don't."

"It's okay to get along, but it's not okay if you don't want to." Tu Shanheng gave him a strange look, "It's not that you can't afford to raise if you don't match up. No one said anything about raising more. You need to have Guangyan's heirs. "

Wan Yankang didn't argue with him on it, and didn't look at the scroll: "Anyway, my mother won't cheat me, and you won't cheat me, so I won't read it. I just wait for fate."

Tu Shanheng said: "If you don't look at you, don't regret it. If you later find out that what you missed is fate, and when you see Xindong in the future, you will already be married. Do you want to learn from King Zhao?"

Wan Yankang said every word: "I believe in myself!"

"It's better to believe in me than to believe in you." Tu Shanheng held the pile of scrolls with one finger, stretched out his arms, and carried them away.

Wan Yankang shook his head and smiled, asking him to promulgate the law, now he dare not talk about the freedom of marriage.Since everyone is not free, then he can enjoy the world's happiness later.Putting his hands behind his back, he walked slowly to see Bao Xiruo.When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw a middle-aged woman, who was ordered to be seductive, and a young girl with full makeup beside her, and the two walked in with each other.

Wan Yankang stopped in his tracks and saw the two people go in, after a while, the girl was led out by the maid.At the beginning, the girl lowered her head slightly, walked to the gazebo and sat down, she did not move the tea served, like a statue.After a while, the girl raised her head, she was not very beautiful, but she had a gentle and gentle air.Wanyan Kang was a little disappointed, but heard the maid said: "It's hot, sit down, I'll fetch the fan." The girl said "Thank you", the voice was also gentle and soft, but it didn't have too many characteristics.

Wan Yankang felt more and more bored, but saw the girl suddenly moved, and looked around for a while.Wanyan Kang felt strange in his heart, and stopped leaving.But the girl looked around curiously, and then studied all the dishes on the stone table in the pavilion.

Wanyan Kang smiled slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and he walked forward.He didn't take his footsteps lightly, the girl quickly heard it from the inside out, and looked over with a slight frown, the girl's expression changed several times, and finally turned into a trace of respect, and saluted.

Wan Yankang walked over, ordered her to sit down, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

The girl sat opposite him, her face flushed slightly, judging from the slight movement of her shoulders and clothes, her fists must be clenched quite tightly in her sleeves.Biting her lip, the girl thought it was normal, but she said in a tense tone: "Yes. How many young men are there here? Besides, the decoration of the Holy One is different from ordinary people, so I don't know each other anymore. Just pretending to be stupid.”

This answer is not annoying, Wan Yankang asked: "Which family are you from?"

The girl said softly: "Concubine Kong, the daughter of offering wine."

Mr. Jijiu's temperament is elegant, but his appearance can't be called a handsome man. It is not easy for his daughter to be born into a handsome girl.Wan Yankang smiled, and drew out the tone: "Oh—is the Queen Mother summoned?"

"Yes. The queen mother summoned her. Seeing what she said, my son and daughter felt uncomfortable. She took pity on my daughter, and Xu Chen's daughter came out to relax."

"uneasy?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, and said almost boldly: "Nowadays, the government and the public are arguing about your important affairs, and you will not be unaware of it."

"Oh?" Wanyan Kang felt a little interesting, "What you said is very interesting."

"Answering according to the ceremony of worship is the most normative. We have never had the room for us to say what our parents ordered. But in my heart, I always have some ideas. I can't choose who I like, and I can choose who may bring me the greatest luck or the greatest. Unlucky people pick me. If you don't like it, you can always tell. That way I avoid a hater."

"What if the person you hate takes a fancy to it?" Wan Yankang couldn't help asking.

"It's hard to be liked, but it's not that hard to be hated." Seeing that he wasn't angry, the girl gradually grew bolder.

A slender one appeared in front of her, with the palm facing up, and the thin cocoon on it could be clearly seen: "You can choose, no one else will know."

"Don't you ask about poetry and calligraphy skills? Don't you ask about family traditions?"

"It's enough." Wanyan Kang still stretched out his hand until a delicate and white palm was placed on it. When the skin touched, Wanyan Kang could feel her trembling.Soft and warm.Live.The five fingers are gathered together, like holding a white butterfly with wings.

*******************

"Keep quiet, actually do such a thing! And said that I don't care, it's not me." Tu Shanheng complained. At this time, it has been a while since Wanyan Kang's wedding. Only when you live with a rosy face instead of a face full of resentment can you complain.

Wan Yankang said: "You are also satisfied, and I am also satisfied, what's wrong?"

Tu Shanheng said sullenly: "It's not good to have a stalemate in Songmeng. If we can't attack for a long time, we will come to trouble us again."

Wan Yankang sighed lightly: "Is this trouble less? It doesn't make sense that Song Guo can do it, so let's not try it."

Tu Shanheng said: "I've always found it very strange. If you say that because of the queen mother, you want to Sinicize, why don't you always like Song Guo?"

Wan Yankang said: "How can I like it?"

Tu Shanheng finally confirmed one thing: "Are you hating iron but not steel?"

Wanyan Kang paused for a moment, then said softly: "Yes. If it can withstand it, why should I? If the Kingdom of Jin can have a Emperor Xiaowen, why should I? When I was young, I wanted to be a hero."

"The heroes are all caught in prison by you. Emperor Xiaowen?" Tu Shanheng repeated these three words, looked at Wanyan Kang face to face, and pointed at Wanyan Kang for a long while and said, "It can't be that Emperor Xiaowen, right? You ...Is it to avoid the fishy smell?"

Wanyan Kang was also stunned: "It turns out that I really have high aspirations."

Tu Shanheng's expression turned from disbelief to belief, and asked, "Are you still going to do it?"

"Ah."

"The envoys from Lin'an came to ask for peace. They were forced to join forces to attack Mongolia..."
