Mixed martial arts: My daughter came down the mountain and boasted that I was a peerless master

Bai Zhantang left.

He left Qixia Town with Lu Xiaofeng and others.

We were talking and laughing along the way, and didn't think about the possibility of disaster or misfortune.

"Brother Qiao, we have known each other for more than a year, right?"

Bai Zhantang looked at Qiao Feng and said.

Hearing this, Qiao Feng turned to look at Bai Zhantang and said with a smile:
"Isn't it more than that?"

"If we really know each other, we have known each other for four or five years!"

Lu Xiaofeng pointed at Bai Zhantang and said mockingly:
"Lao Bai, when you quit the world, did you quit your troubles as well?"

Lu Xiaofeng and Bai Zhantang have known each other for a long time.

The two of them can be considered old friends.

Bai Zhantang was not angry when Lu Xiaofeng mocked Bai Zhantang like this.

With the relationship between the two of them, they wouldn't be angry over such a trivial matter.

Bai Zhantang looked at Qiao Feng in confusion.

If I remember correctly, I have known Qiao Feng for just over a year. Why did Qiao Feng say it was four years?

"Brother Qiao, have we known each other for that long?"

Bai Zhantang asked uncertainly.

He really couldn't remember it.

Qiao Feng recalled:
"Well, the first time we met was in the inn."

"Brother Ye and I went to your inn together."

"It's just that I simply said hello at that time, and then we stopped talking."

Bai Zhantang recalled Qiao Feng's words.

Suddenly it dawned on me.

He remembered.

"I remembered!"

"That time you and Brother Ye drank until midnight, and you weren't even drunk at all!"

Qiao Feng nodded.

"Hey, I didn't pay much attention to your name at the time."

Bai Zhantang slapped his forehead in regret.

At that time, he retired from the world and didn't care much about things in the world.

Therefore, when I heard the name "Qiao Feng", I didn't think much about it.

"Do you regret not currying favor with Brother Qiao earlier?"

Lu Xiaofeng raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly.

Bai Zhantang rolled his eyes at Lu Xiaofeng and snorted coldly:

"Yes, if I had known it was Brother Qiao earlier, I would have learned a few tricks from him."

"Then find a quiet night and kill you secretly."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

-

The Mongolian Dynasty not only went south to attack the Ming Dynasty, but also used troops against the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty.

When the Southern Song Dynasty received the news, they immediately mobilized troops.

As one of the Five Great Masters of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hong Qigong was of extremely high status and character, and was invited to the imperial court.

In the imperial study room.

Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen said worriedly to Hong Qigong sitting below:
"Hey! Mr. Hong, the Mongolian Dynasty raided our Southern Song Dynasty and displaced the people on the border of our Southern Song Dynasty."

"As the king of a country, how can I let the people suffer like this!"

"If General Yue Fei was still here, how could we be in the current situation!"

Song Xiaozong thought of Yue Fei.

If Yue Fei was still alive, there would be no such thing as the Mongolian Dynasty's raid on the Southern Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Yue Fei was framed by Qin Hui and died long ago.

Although he rehabilitated Yue Fei, he could not revive Yue Fei.

Seeing that Song Xiaozong was in a bad mood, Hong Qigong comforted him and said:
"Your Majesty, let's not mention General Yue Fei for now."

"Now let's discuss how we should deal with the Mongol Dynasty's army."

Song Xiaozong nodded.

"I have dispatched 200,000 troops to support the border areas."

"But the Mongolian army was fierce, and the Liao and Jin kingdoms also joined the Mongolian army."

"I'm worried that these 200,000 soldiers and horses will be unable to resist the Mongolian army."

The soldiers and horses of foreign dynasties are much more powerful than the soldiers and horses of Central Plains dynasties. This is a fact.

The foreign dynasties lived in the grasslands, and their soldiers began to ride horses since they were young. Compared with the Central Plains dynasty, where only cavalry could ride horses, they were naturally much more powerful.

The cavalrymen of the Central Plains Dynasty only began to learn to ride horses after they became soldiers.

Hong Qigong pondered for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, your concerns are justified!"

"What I, the Beggar Gang, have learned about the situation is that this time the Mongolian Dynasty sent troops to the Southern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty at the same time."

"This time, I'm afraid they plan to annihilate our Central Plains Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Hong Qigong said half of his words and kept half of them.

The Mongol dynasty was so menacing that other foreign dynasties were also ready to follow suit.

At present, foreign dynasties such as the Khitan, Jin, and Liao have joined the Mongolian army.

If the Qing Dynasty, Xixia Dynasty, Dali Kingdom, Silla, Baekje and other foreign dynasties also attack the Central Plains Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Central Plains Dynasty will fall apart.

This is just a conjecture. Hong Qigong did not dare to tell Song Xiaozong because he was afraid that Song Xiaozong would not be able to bear it.

When Song Xiaozong heard this, he slapped the desk in front of him angrily.

"Too deceiving!"

"Its alien dynasty actually wants to overthrow our Central Plains dynasty!"

"Since they want to fight, then I will fight with them to the end!"

After all, Song Xiaozong was a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin himself was a military commander, and as a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, it is normal for him to have a bloody nature.

"I heard that Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty went on a personal expedition!"

"He can drive and conquer personally, so why can't I?!"

Song Xiaozong's eyes were fierce.

Seeing his appearance, Hong Qigong was very pleased.

It has been a long time since I saw such bloody nature in the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

The shame of Jingkang made people all over the world feel cold towards the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Later, the incident of General Yue Fei made the people hate the emperor of the Song Dynasty even more.

Before Hong Qigong came, he was afraid that Song Xiaozong would be as timid as the previous emperors of the Song Dynasty.

Then, they signed those unequal treaties with foreign dynasties.

Fortunately, Song Xiaozong did not disappoint him.

Since Song Xiaozong is not afraid, then he, an old beggar, should help him properly.

"Your Majesty, after the heroes in the world learned that the Mongolian army was moving south, they all expressed their intention to go north."

"Due to the large number of people, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, so..."

Hong Qigong was worried that the court would be worried if so many Jianghu people went north together.

Imperial officials did not like Jiang people.

With so many Jianghu people showing up, I'm afraid they might think that the Jianghu people took the opportunity to unite with the aliens and launch a pincer attack.

Therefore, Hong Qigong made it clear to Song Xiaozong in advance.

Otherwise, before the two armies engage in battle, there will be internal strife on our side.

"Mr. Hong, Gang Leader Hong, I understand what you mean."

"Since the heroes in the world have such raging patriotism, how can I be suspicious!"

"I will write an imperial edict immediately. You will lead these heroes and follow me to the border to kill the Mongolian army!"

Song Xiaozong was quite sensible.

He is not a fool.

What is needed at critical moments is trust.

We cannot repeat the path of General Yue Feiyue.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hong Qigong clasped his fists gratefully in thanks.

Without the consent of Song Xiaozong, Hong Qigong would not have dared to lead his disciples from the Beggar Gang and the Jianghu people who wanted to go to the border to resist the Mongolian army moving south.

After Hong Qigong left, Song Xiaozong thought for a moment and replaced him with eunuchs. He wrote two letters confidently and stamped them with his own jade seal.

"Eight hundred miles of urgency, send these two letters to the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty respectively!"

"The letter must be delivered to the hands of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Northern Song Dynasty!"

The eunuch carefully took the letter and left in a hurry.

After that, Song Xiaozong arranged other matters. After ordering the prince to supervise the country, he put on his armor, ordered his soldiers, and hurried to the border.

There was much misfortune, but Song Xiaozong didn't have the slightest fear.

He could have gone on a military expedition without a royal chariot, but Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty next door, had a chariot to conduct the conquest himself. As the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, couldn't he do that?
……

Northern Song Dynasty.

As the leader of the Beggar Gang in the Northern Song Dynasty, Guo Jing met with Song Renzong.

Song Renzong's attitude was the same as Song Xiaozong's.

In the same way, he asked the imperial chariot to conduct the expedition in person, and also wrote an imperial edict and handed it to Guo Jing.

"This time I..."

Before Song Renzong could express his heroic ambitions, Bao Zheng interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, I have something to advise you!"

Song Renzong: "..."

"Don't speak yet! Wait until I finish speaking, and then you can speak again!"

Song Renzong said unhappily.

"When His Majesty has finished speaking, it will be meaningless for me to say anything else."

Bao Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Then stop talking!"

Song Renzong knew what Bao Zheng was going to say, so he interrupted him just now.

Ignoring Bao Zheng, Song Renzong looked at Guo Jing.

"Guang Leader Guo, let's continue talking."

Bao Zheng also understood what Song Renzong meant. Although Song Renzong ignored him now, Bao Zheng continued:
"Your Majesty, I know that this violation of the treaty between the two countries by the Mongolian army is really unacceptable."

"But the country cannot be without a king for a day, and your majesty must not be like the emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty who led the military expedition in person!"

When Song Renzong heard this, he slapped the table and said angrily:

"What! Zhu Houzhao can do it! But I can't?"

"He, Zhu Houzhao, doesn't even have a son. How can he just lead the army and fight in person?"

"I still have a son after all!"

"Even if I die in battle, there will still be someone who can inherit my throne!"

"Zhu Houzhao is dead, but he has no son to inherit the throne!"

"He's not afraid that no one will inherit the throne, so why should I be afraid?"

Song Renzong's words frightened several officials present to kneel down.

Bao Zheng is no exception.

After all, the emperor himself cursed himself to death, which was not something he could say casually.

"His Majesty……"

Bao Zheng still wanted to speak, but Song Renzong interrupted him again.

"No need to say more!"

"Even if I'm not here, is it possible that the ministers can't help me manage the court?"

"You Bao Zheng, the Eight Wise Kings, Fan Xiwen (Fan Zhongyan), Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Su Che, can't you help me manage the court?"

"Or do you think you are incompetent? You don't have that ability!"

Song Renzong's words blocked Bao Zheng's words.

If Song Renzong is not allowed to go, it is because of his own incompetence.

Let Song Renzong go, it will be more dangerous than good.

Seeing that Bao Zheng and the others were silent, Song Renzong showed a hint of pride on his face.

"If that's the case, then I will take charge of the expedition myself!"

"My dear friends, please help me manage the court and memorial matters!"

"When I go this time, I will take General Di Qingdi with me!"

"I think with him here, I will come back victorious!"

Song Renzong was very fast.

As soon as things were arranged, the imperial commander immediately went on the expedition himself.

It was much easier for him than Song Xiaozong to leave the Southern Song Dynasty.

There were many capable ministers under his command, so he simply explained and left directly.

There is no need to be like Song Xiaozong, who was worried about one thing or another when leaving.

……

Xixia Dynasty.

Li Qiushui naturally also knew the news about the Mongolian army going south.

However, Li Qiushui was hesitant whether the Xixia Dynasty should send troops.

Our own Xixia Dynasty was a foreign dynasty, the same as the Mongolian Dynasty.

This time the Mongolian army went south and only sent troops to the Northern Song Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, and had nothing to do with the Xixia Dynasty.

You don't need to get involved at all.

But Li Qiushui did not dare to bet on whether the Mongolian army would send troops against her Xixia Dynasty after taking over the Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty.

His own Xixia Dynasty was wrapped in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty.

If the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty were defeated, then the Mongolian army would most likely attack its own Xixia Dynasty next.

Just as Li Qiushui was hesitating, the guard's voice came from outside.

"The Queen Mother, Duan Yanqing, the First Grade Hall of Xixia, wants to see you!"

Hearing the guard's voice, Li Qiushui felt doubtful in his heart.

Duan Yanqing was the former crown prince of Dali, and Li Qiushui knew about it.

After Duan Yanqing left last time, Li Qiushui knew that Duan Yanqing had returned to Dali.

I originally thought Duan Yanqing would never come back, but I didn't expect Duan Yanqing to come back again.

"Let him come in!"

Li Qiushui suppressed the doubts in his heart and said to the guard.

Soon, Duan Yanqing walked in from outside.

"Queen Mother."

When Duan Yanqing saw Li Qiushui, he shouted respectfully.

Seeing Duan Yanqing again, Li Qiushui almost didn't recognize him.

Duan Yanqing, who used to be a ferocious man, spoke with his belly, and was still lame, has actually changed a lot.

Today, Duan Yanqing is gorgeously dressed and quite handsome.

Because of his lameness, the crutches he was leaning on were gone, and he did not use his abdomen to speak, but relied on his mouth.

"With a different appearance, I almost didn't recognize him."

Li Qiushui said.

"Thanks to the Queen Mother's junior sister who gave me a healing pill, which not only cured all my old illnesses, but also made me look much younger."

Duan Yanqing said with a smile.

"You mean Ling'er? That girl went to your Dali?"

Li Qiushui asked curiously.

He hadn't heard any news about his junior sister for more than half a year. When he heard the news about Ling'er again, Li Qiushui's mood improved a lot.

Before, when Ling'er was still in Jianghu, I could still get news about her from time to time.

But half a year ago, news about the little guy suddenly stopped, and Li Qiushui sent someone to inquire about Ling'er.

Li Qiushui felt relieved when he learned that his junior sister had been staying in Wudang Mountain and had never gone down there.

"Well, Princess Ling'er went to Dali before."

Duan Yanqing said.

"Queen Mother, I am here on behalf of the Dali Kingdom to discuss with you the Mongolian army's move south."

Li Qiushui nodded slightly.

Duan Yanqing didn't say anything, but Li Qiushui also guessed the purpose of Duan Yanqing's visit.

"What are your plans in Dali?"

Dali is not far from the Xixia Dynasty.

Passing through the two cities of the Southern Song Dynasty, you can reach Dali Kingdom.

If the Southern Song Dynasty fell, Dali would suffer. (End of chapter)
