Song Dynasty female artist

While Tai Chi was still thinking about how to capture Qin Lian, he actually got news that several of them were preparing to go to the human race.

"They are going to the human race?"

"Yes, according to the information we found, those people have an extraordinary status in the human race. It is normal for them to come back to the demon race for such a long time."

normal.

What's normal.

Before he could figure out how to capture Qin Lian, they were about to go to the human race. There was no guarantee that they would go to the human race at this time because they sensed something.

But if he goes to the human race, he still has a chance to strike.

They had been away for half a year, coming in February, and now it was August. When they came back, they found out that it had been two months since the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty went to war, with the purpose of regaining the sixteen states ceded to the Liao Dynasty.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been wanted to take back since Emperor Taizu.

Even after trying for so long, I still can't get it back.

Retaking the sixteen states of Yanyun is not only a reflection of the emperor's political achievements during his reign, but also plays a vital role in the stability of the country.

The capital of the Song Dynasty was Kaifeng.

To the north of Kaifeng, it faces the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, so it is basically undefeable. If the Sixteenth Prefecture is recaptured, the Great Wall Mountain can be used as an important defensive place for the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Zhenzong knew the importance of the Sixteen States of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty, and this time he went to war with the Song Dynasty with almost all his strength.

In these two months, both sides have their own victories and defeats.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Zhen was wondering whether he would have a personal conquest like Yelu Zhenzong.

As soon as Zhao Zhen proposed it, the court officials strongly opposed it.

Just because their official body is really not good, if this was done accidentally, it was originally meant to boost morale, so don't shake the morale of the army when the time comes.

So the minister didn’t agree with anything.

Zhao Zhen said that he was a few years older than the Yelu Zhenzong, and if others could drive and conquer personally, so could he. Besides, compared to his poor health, Yelu Zhenzong's health was worse than his. He could go on several expeditions in person, so he could do it too.

After all, the minister finally agreed.

Of course Zhao Zhen is happy.

He was full of confidence in taking back the sixteen states this time.

When Su Yixin and the others came back, they happened to catch up. Three days later, Zhao Zhen would take his close ministers to the border, leaving Yan Shu and others to deal with the reports sent from various places.

The day before departure, Zhao Zhen received news from Xixia.

Yelu Yingna gave birth to a prince.

This is Brother Ning Ling's first child and also his eldest prince.

Brother Ning Ling's attitude towards this child is directly related to his attitude towards Daliao.

Zhao Zhen said: "It is said that the child was born three days ago, and Brother Ning Ling only met the child once when he was just born. Xixia did not say anything about Sanyi, and just called him the eldest prince as usual, and he didn't even give him a name."

Yan Shu said: "This seems to be deliberately avoiding suspicion."

Otherwise, his first prince, who was born to the empress of the middle palace, would not have even picked a name three days after he was born, and would still be called the eldest prince.

Li Jizhi said: "Xixia avoids suspicion because it means that it does not want to conflict with us. It also means that we think our chances of winning are greater."

Li Jizhi's idea can be said to represent the ideas of most courtiers.

Zhao Zhen looked at Gu Qingjue: "Zi Yuan, what do you think of this?"

"Last time, Daliao wanted to unite with Goryeo, Xixia and Tubo to form a siege against our Song Dynasty. However, at the critical moment, Xixia refused to send troops, causing heavy losses to Daliao. The two sides already had dissatisfaction. Yelu Yingna, the princess of Daliao, was in Daliao. In my heart, I'm afraid it won't be of much use anymore." "According to what Sir Gu said, Princess Daliao has become an abandoned son?"

Gu Qingjue shook his head: "If he is an abandoned son, Brother Ning Ling will dote on the eldest prince in a big way."

Yan Shu thought for a while and said: "I understand. Princess Daliao is in a difficult situation. If Yelu Zong really knows that Brother Ning Ling cares about Princess Daliao, he will definitely let Princess Daliao persuade Brother Ning Ling to send troops. If Brother Ning Ling doesn't want to send troops, it's best The only way is to make Yelv Zong really feel that Princess Daliao has no place in his heart, and even the son she gave birth to is despised by him."

Wen Yanbo questioned: "Yeluzong is really not stupid. Could he not have thought of the things we can think of?"

"Well, Princess Daliao must have done something."

Zhao Zhen said: "According to the information I got, Yelu Zongzhen has no signs of contacting Xixia."

"Your Majesty, it's better to be careful. They have no contact now. Maybe the Emperor of Liao feels that they can defeat our Song Dynasty this time. Once they have a tendency to lose, they will definitely contact Xixia and deal with our Song Dynasty together."

After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, he felt that what he said was a bit redundant.

Several ministers analyzed the trends of several neighboring countries and felt that the possibility of them causing trouble was very small, so they were relieved.

On August 6, Zhao Zhen went on a personal expedition.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor's personal expedition was at the beginning of the battle, when the emperor set out with the soldiers to boost morale.

But this battle lasted for two months, and the two sides entered a stalemate. In order to end it as soon as possible, Zhao Zhen decided to fight in person, which was tantamount to a real battle with Yelu Zong.

Di Qing got the exact news and publicized it on the front line.

The emperor came, which really encouraged the soldiers. In the battle two days later, morale was high and they won a big victory.

Seven days later, Zhao Zhen arrived at the border.

During these seven days, the two sides fought three more moderate battles, with the Song Dynasty winning two.

Yelu Zongzhen only got the news when Zhao Zhen arrived at the border one day before. The memorial in his hand was about to be broken in half: "What are we doing in the Song Dynasty? We don't even know such important news. I actually only got the news one day ago. Everyone has arrived at the door, and I am still sleeping in the palace."

He said that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had been in high spirits in the past two days.

It turns out that Zhao Zhen came to the border.

The two countries have fought countless wars, large and small, and this seems to be the first time the Emperor of the Song Dynasty went on a personal expedition.

"Your Majesty, before we started the war, many of the hidden stakes installed in the Song Dynasty were pulled out and could no longer function normally. Even if we know this news, it will be difficult for them to spread it."

"This is no excuse. The hidden piles that were pulled out must be erected as soon as possible, and the news must be conveyed in a timely manner."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the people left, Mao Chenfang was the only one left in the room.

Yelu Zongzhen said: "I heard that Emperor Song was in poor health. Is there anything you can do..."

Mao Chenfang was shocked.

He immediately said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Song is the True Dragon Emperor. If we cultivators touch him, we will be finished before he dies."

What do you think, Your Majesty?

If things can be done like this, why fight? We can just carry out assassinations!

Yelu Zong looked at Mao Chenfang unhappily.

"He Zhao Zhen is the True Dragon Emperor, so who am I?"

"Of course your Majesty is too, so Emperor Song cannot let cultivators harm you."

Otherwise, there are practitioners on both sides, so you are very smart! ! ! Use dirty tricks to get rid of the opponent. (End of chapter)
