Song Dynasty female artist

Di Qing arrived at the border and reversed the situation within half a month.

Just when the morale of the army was gradually stabilized, Liao Xingzong suddenly announced that the imperial commander would personally conquer the army.

What does this herald?
It indicates the determination to win the Song Dynasty.

In addition, Xixia's military strength, although not much, is still brave and good at fighting.

Liao Xingzong's personal expedition did greatly boost morale and put psychological pressure on the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

Di Qing, who had never lost a battle, also faced his first tragic defeat in his life.

Zhao Zhen urgently recalled the demoted Fan Zhongyan to the capital to resume his official position as deputy privy envoy, and rushed to the border without stopping to discuss strategies to defend against the enemy with Di Qing.

Fortunately, in this low-pressure atmosphere, in the first battle between Dali and Nong Zhigao, Nong Zhigao achieved a great victory.

This greatly alleviated the pressure of the Song Dynasty from being attacked from both sides.

It also gave great confidence to some people in the court.

Some spies from other countries wanted to take the opportunity to spread news in Kyoto and distract people, but this news did not have a good effect.

On the contrary, because of this action, the weak point was exposed and several hidden stakes were cut off.

Zhao Zhen looked at the battle report and was very satisfied.

The new army policy has only been implemented in the army for three or four months, but it has already achieved initial results. If it is promoted across the country, it will definitely establish a wolf division. Not to mention that the lost sixteen states of Yanyun can be regained. Further expand the territory.

Liao Xingzong, far to the north, also received news of Dali's defeat.

He summoned the marching commander Xiao Hui, deputy commander Xiao Xiaoyou and Tie Buwei to discuss the next march plan.

It was now the end of August.

The cool breeze from the north blew at night. Although it was not very cold, the weather was obviously getting cooler.

If it's early, there will be snow in the north in only one month.

There wasn't much time left for them at all.

Tie Buwei said: "The Song Dynasty just wants to waste us now. Once the weather starts to get cold and the snow falls, we will not have the advantage. What I want is to make a quick decision and we must cross the Juma River tomorrow."

"I agree with the King of Han's proposal to cross the Juma River and take Baigou Town directly. With Baigou Town as a support, it will be convenient to take other towns."

Even if the Juma River freezes, they will not be afraid.

Xiao Hui, the commander of the marching army, said: "We are afraid that as soon as we cross the Juma River, the weather will turn cold and the Song army will cut off our food and grass. That would really be a trap."

Tie Buwei disagreed: "It won't be cold for more than a month. In this month, as long as we take down Baigou Town in one go and then take over several nearby towns, we don't need to worry about lack of food and grass at all."

At that time, it was the autumn harvest!
They happened to have the food of these towns in their pockets, so how could they catch the turtle in the urn?

If there really is a turtle caught in an urn, Song Jun will be the turtle.

Liao Xingzong also knew that time was running out now. If he didn't go directly south to take Baigou Town, he would have to wait until next spring.

But waiting for another half a year would be equivalent to giving Song Jun half a year more time.

Half a year is enough to give their army a completely new look.

"Contact the princess and ask Xixia to cooperate with us!"

In the end, Liao Xingzong decided to quickly go south and take Baigou Town, just in time to snatch the farmers' grain during their autumn harvest.

Di Qing and Fan Zhongyan naturally want to do whatever they can think of.

Defenses have already been strengthened in Baigou Town.

Although Baigou Town is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also an important town in the Song Dynasty. The city defense reinforcement is usually in place.

Even if the Daliao and Xixia coalition forces cannot be driven back to the Daliao mainland in one go, it will still cost them.

Wait until it gets cold and snows.

Then they can't just retreat if they want to.

The pacification envoys of Guangdong and Guangxi went to the government office.Su Yixin was raising her baby safely, when Master Mingdao came to visit again.

When I asked him why he was here, he just said that he happened to be passing by.

Okay, don't say it, don't say it.

Anyway, she is pregnant now, and if she wants to travel far away, she cannot.

But ever since Master Mingdao stayed in the mansion, Su Yixin often had dreams, and the dream was about practicing with her master in the deep mountains and forests in her previous life.

She dreamed that her master was telling her about the Song Dynasty.

In the middle of the night, Su Yixin, who always slept well, opened her eyes and took two deep breaths to calm down.

Gu Qingjue was very busy during this period because of the war with Dali.

I was extremely tired.

But Su Yixin woke up in the middle of the night and still woke him up.

Gu Qingjue half-supported her body and touched Su Yixin's forehead with her hand: "Are you having a nightmare?"

Su Yixin shook her head and sat up.

Seeing this, Gu Qingjue quickly supported her lower back and put the pillow in place to make her sit more comfortable.

Hearing the noise, Xi'er, who was keeping vigil at the door, opened the door and came in, lighting the candle: "Master, madam, do you need some water?"

"Pour me a glass of warm water."

Gu Qingjue said again: "Bring me another cotton handkerchief."

Not long after, Xi'er brought a basin of warm water and a clean cotton handkerchief, and Liu'er came in with warm water.

"Master, come here, slave."

"No, just put the water there and you go out."

Both maids were mature and steady. Gu Qingjue said no and immediately left the room without any worries.

This is also a quality Su Yixin values.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be more than 30 people, so we just picked a few of them.

Gu Qingjue got out of bed, first wiped Su Yixin's body with a clean handkerchief, then wetted her body with the handkerchief, wiped her face again, and then handed the water to Su Yixin.

It wasn't hot at night, but Su Yixin inevitably broke into a cold sweat when she thought about some things in her previous life. Wiping it clean like this made her feel much better.

Su Yixin only drank half a glass of water. Gu Qingjue drank the remaining half glass, turned off the lights and helped Su Yixin lie down again.

Su Yixin was lying on her side. Because of her big belly, Gu Qingjue could only hug Su Yixin from the back: "Did you dream about the past?"

"Well, I don't know why. Every time Master Mingdao appears, I can recall the vague memories from the past, and I remember them very deeply, as if they are deliberately repeated in my mind."

Su Yixin sighed quietly: "I always feel that this old monk did it on purpose."

But she has no proof.

But why should she be reminded of the past? Perhaps Master Mingdao wanted to get things off the planned track?

I can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out.

Gu Qingjue said nothing and listened quietly.

His big hands were placed on Su Yixin's belly. The baby was now five months old, and he would sometimes put it on it.He could feel the child's feet kicking into his palms.

"By the way, I just remembered that Prime Minister Chen should have submitted his resignation this month."

Gu Qingjue's hand touching his stomach stopped for a moment, and then he asked softly: "Have you ever remembered what the reason was?"

"It seems that because he was in charge of the management of the Yellow River, the embankments broke repeatedly this month. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government jointly asked the officials to remove the prime minister. Prime Minister Chen had to resign!" (End of Chapter)
