Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 387

Holding the master's letter, Gu Qingjue frowned slightly.

The master mentioned in the letter that the city has been tense recently. Since the past few months, a new round of war between Song Dynasty and Xixia has started.

This battle is actually a continuation of the Battle of Haoshuichuan.

The defeated Xixia has been waiting for an opportunity.

What a shame.

In late September last year, Li Yuanhao, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, gathered about [-] soldiers in Tiandu Mountain. The envoy Wang Yan, who was slightly appeased and recruited, got the news and ordered his deputy envoy Ge Huaimin to lead part of the army from Weizhou to Watingzhai to stop it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Sichun, the governor of Wating Village, and Liu Hebu, the governor of Huanqing, defied orders and marched northward, stationed at Wugukou.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Wang Yan sent a special envoy to the camp with his letter, admonishing Ge Huaimin to show weakness to lure the enemy, set up a surprise attack, and not to enter rashly.

But Ge Huaimin didn't listen.

Gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and continue to march northward, just to win the breath.

On September [-]th, the army that had been running around for several days thought they were getting close to Li Yuanhao's troops, so they stopped marching and discussed going to attack at dawn the next day.

Hehe, they don't obey orders.

Ge Huaimin didn't listen to Wang Yan's order, and insisted on going his own way, and he wanted to add another sentence: Generals in foreign countries will not accept orders.

The final result was the defeat of Hexi. When Ge Huaimin led the rest of his men to escape from the city, he was almost trampled to death.

Fortunately, Zhao Xun led the swordsman and the army warriors to fight back at the gate bridge, which forced the Xia army back and was able to temporarily keep the big city from being breached.

At dawn on September 22, the Song army had been besieged for a day and a night.

Therefore, it was decided to use Cao Ying and Zhao Xun as the vanguard, Liu He and Xu Sichun as the left and right wings, and Li Zhihe, Wang Bao, Wang Wen and others as the rear, to gather troops and break through to the east.

Before setting off, Zeng Shengji stopped Ge Huaimin's horse, just in case it was cut off by the Xia army, and it was safer to change the road, but Ge Huaimin didn't accept it. All six generals were killed in battle.

The Song army had nearly [-] people, and the entire army was wiped out.

The loss is not unheard of.

Xixia won a complete victory, Li Yuanhao was not satisfied with this, and continued to march south, breaking through several cities and reaching Weizhou.

In the area of ​​nearly [-] miles across Weizhou, they burned, killed and looted.

It wasn't until October that Li Yuanhao got the news that Fan Chongyan, the pacifier of Huanqing Road, led his army to help, and because there were about 20 soldiers on the roads in Shaanxi, he didn't continue to go south, but returned to Xixia with a full load of harvest.

After that, there is a peace negotiation, which is another tug of war.

This battle made the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty turbulent. At this time, the court made a big move. The officials went to the Prime Minister Lu Yijian and appointed Fu Bi, Han Qi and others as deputy envoys.

Gu Qingjue was studying in the study, looking at the news from Yang Junsheng, guessing that the officials might make big moves next.

Sure enough, Fan Chongyan, who had always declined to be a political adviser, still took this position.

The two still met at the teahouse where they met before, Yang Junsheng said: "You said, if Mr. Fan sits in this position, will Chen Zhizhong's nose be crooked in anger?"

"I'm afraid it won't stop."

Yang Junsheng asked curiously: "What's more? Could it be that Mr. Chen is so popular that he still wants to assassinate Mr. Fan?"

After Yang Junsheng finished speaking, before Gu Qingjue could open his mouth, he denied the guess: "Impossible, he is just a villain. It is okay to curse a few times behind his back to relieve his anger. Tell him to kill people. Once he is found out, then he, an official, will also die." Don't even think about doing it."

Gu Qingjue gave Yang Junsheng a blank look.

Listening to him continue to say: "However, Kong Chong put the treasure on Chen Zhizhong at the beginning, but now he is not in the position. Didn't he sacrifice a son-in-law for nothing? I'm afraid there will be a rift between the two of them."

"That's what I want."

Kong Chong's position on the privy envoy was too secure.

If the master wants to rehabilitate the Zeng family, he must remove Kong Chong from the position of privy envoy.

Their foundation is too weak now, if they want to attack the Kong family directly, they don't know how they will die, but Chen Zhizhong's Chen family is a good breakthrough.

Another one is that Kong Chong, as a privy envoy, formed a party for private interests, did not want to cultivate talents for the court, and eliminated dissidents for his own selfish desires. His methods were ruthless and outrageous.

Kong Chong, the privy envoy, bears great responsibility for several battles with Xixia.

Pulling Kong Chong down is not only to rehabilitate the master's family, but also to eradicate such moths for the court.

At the end of September, Gu Qingjue returned to the Jiangning prefecture, preparing to participate in the autumn.

Gu Mingjue always pays attention to Gu Qingjue's movements.

Gu Qingjue didn't deliberately hide it either.

So when he just settled in an inn, the news was sent to Gu Mingjue.

Gu Mingjue sneered twice: "It's been two years, and this bastard still doesn't take me seriously. It's just a dream to want to pass me by!"

Liu Yiting was pinching Gu Mingjue's shoulders, her eyeballs rolling around.

The master often mentioned Gu Qingjue in front of her, and she knew that it was this man's wife who caused her father to go to prison.

"Master, he is so ignorant, why keep it?"

Gu Mingjue pulled the hand on his shoulder, and with a little force, Liu Yiting fell into his arms.

The sound of charming laughter came from the study.

Han stood upright, quietly standing beside the moon gate that had just entered the study, followed by a maid carrying ginseng soup.

The servant girl looked at her wife worriedly.

Since the head of the Liu family was imprisoned, Liu Yiting has been left out in the cold. The relationship between the wife and the master has been good for the past two years.

But I don't know why, after Patriarch Liu was released from prison, that vixen fell in love with him again. He was dressed up all day, but now he flirts with the master in the study.

madam she...

Han Shu smiled coldly: "Go and knock on the door."

Another servant girl immediately walked forward and knocked on the door three times: "Master, madam has brought you ginseng soup."

When Han Shu heard a 'pop' from the study, his sarcastic smile deepened.

After waiting for a while, she heard the sound of the door opening. Liu Yiting opened the door with twinkling eyes: "Ma'am, the master has been tired recently, so this slave came to beat the master's legs to relieve his fatigue."

Han Shu walked in without looking at Liu Yiting.

"Master is tired, why didn't you call me? I happened to have stewed ginseng soup, it's good for your body, master, try it soon."

Gu Mingjue's expression froze. She, a lady, didn't make such a fuss before, but he felt uncomfortable instead.

If he saw Liu Yiting in the study before, he must have grabbed Liu Yiting's hair, dragged her out, and then used a few sticks.

She has some kung fu on her body, and she has great strength.

"Ma'am, this work of beating legs and shoulders is done by servants. How can you do this, Mrs. Madam, the magistrate?"

Liu Yiting: "..."
