A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Seventieth birthday, the prosperous times accompany you. I wish the motherland prosperity.

…

Shuozhou has now turned into a large military camp, and countless cavalry have moved in.

The weather was very cold, so the soldiers cut down trees to keep warm, but there were few trees here, and several fires broke out over the competition for firewood, until Yelu Hongji became furious and stopped.

Yelu Hongji is naturally not cold.

The silver charcoal burned silently, without any smell.

In the room, two rows of civil and military officials stood on the left and right, looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.

Yelu Hongji is drinking tea.

He put down the tea cup, glanced at the officials, and said: "Yanmen is just ahead. Here, I am reminded of Yang Ye back then. This man guarded Yanmen Daizhou and repeatedly occupied Wang's army, but he did not end well later. "

Yang Ye was quite famous back then, so after his death, there were rumors among the people that he was murdered, which shocked the Liao Kingdom.

"The people of Song Dynasty killed Yang Ye and later Di Qing. What did you think of from this?"

Yelu Hongji often went hunting, and his skin looked dark, but he was very energetic.

An official below said: "Your Majesty, this shows that the people of Song Dynasty are good at fighting among themselves."

Yelu Hongji nodded and said contemptuously: "There are civil-military disputes everywhere, including Daliao. But who would kill generals for the sake of civil-military disputes? He is the only handsome man... I will kill every one of these civil servants."

A military general said: "Your Majesty, the Song people killed Di Qing, and those civil servants were celebrating with their foreheads and hands! It shows that they deserve to be destroyed."

"This shows the cowardice of the Southerners." Yelu Hongji said with a smile: "If I had an invincible warrior, I would only believe in him. But the Southerners wish they could kill him. From then on, everyone has become a mediocre person and has never been able to stand out. People... are ridiculous and ridiculous."

Everyone thought the same thing and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, this is Daliao's opportunity. Can you go south this time?"

A military general said excitedly: "If we go south, I am willing to be the vanguard and sweep away the Song army along the way."

A civil servant said coldly: "Yanmen is here and Daizhou is here, how can we break it?"

Yanmen and Daizhou have dangerous terrain. During the Warring States Period, the famous Zhao general Li Mu garrisoned Yanmen and defeated the ambitious Huns in one battle, preventing them from exploring the Central Plains for a long time.

During the Qin Dynasty, General Meng Tian left the fortress from Yanmen and attacked northward, driving the Huns all the way to the north of Yinshan Mountain.

During the Han Dynasty, the flying general Li Guang also stationed at Yanmen.

In the early Song Dynasty, Yang Ye was stationed at Yanmen and defeated the Liao army in the first battle. He became famous and was known as Yang Wudi.

This was a place where Han'er showed off his martial arts, but the Song Dynasty had always been weak, so it became a place for foreigners to show off their martial arts.

The generals were silent. Yelu Hongji sensed the undercurrent and said: "Yanmen is guarding the fortress. If we can capture it, the Song people will have no danger to defend it, and the Liao Dynasty will be able to overwhelm the country...How can the Song people stop it?"

Once Yanmen is lost, the Liao army will pour out, and the Song Dynasty will be able to stop it. That situation is more dangerous than a breakthrough in the north.

The generals became excited, and someone said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to attack Yanmen."

Yelu Hongji smiled and said: "I personally led the army here just to see the courage of the Song people. If you have courage, then come and confront me and let me have a glimpse of the martial arts of the Song people. If you don't have the courage, then the Liao Dynasty will naturally take whatever you ask for. , attack wherever you like. If you can capture it, capture it. If you can't capture it, go back and come back next time."

He spoke with a calm demeanor, and made the conquest as easy as traveling, which made the officials feel sad.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Yelu Hongji asked: "What's going on over there in Xixia?"

"The rangers on both sides fought fiercely. They increased their troops time and time again, but they were all killed again and again... Your Majesty, the Xixia people are brave, and the Song people are far outnumbered."

Yelu Hongji said angrily: "The people of Xixia are brave, but are the warriors of Daliao timid? Send an order to the front, and kill the leading general if he fails to fight."

This is angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Everyone comforted them for a while, and Yelu Hongji sneered: "The Xixia people are just a minor problem. The Song people...only the Song people are a big problem for the Liao Dynasty."

He raised his head slightly and said with a cold expression: "In the battle at Fuzhou, Daliao's cavalry was defeated. In the battle at Xiongzhou, they were still defeated, and they lost Daliao's face."

Everyone lowered their heads, and Yelu Hongji looked over and said sarcastically: "If this were not the case, I should be hunting tigers and wolves in the forest of ice and snow at this moment, instead of waiting here for Zhao Shu's response...incompetent!"

Boom!

The tea cup shattered and the officials stood with their hands tied.

Yelu Hongji stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, "Within half a month, if Zhao Shu does not respond within half a month, we will try to attack Yanmen Daizhou. If we can capture Yanmen, I will personally lead the army to attack and go to Bianliang to find Zhao." Let's drink a glass of wine, hahahaha!"

He was laughing, but his laughter was cold.

"I love hunting. I thought the Liao Dynasty was powerful and invincible, but I didn't expect that I was defeated by the Song Dynasty twice. I was uneasy and could only bring my army here. Firstly, I can conquer Xixia at any time; secondly, I can conquer Xixia at any time. Attacking Yanmen...this is killing two birds with one stone..."

Shuozhou is not far from the main battlefield of Xixia and Liao, and Yelu Hongji can go to reinforce it at any time.

Further here is Yanmen. If Yanmen can be captured, Yelu Hongji, a pacifist, will show his ferocious face and conquer the country.

"Your Majesty is wise."

The ministers once again praised the saint.

Yelu Hongji held the handle of the knife, closed his eyes, and murmured: "The Liao Dynasty has dominated the world for countless years, and I have no regrets. My only wish is to seize the Southern people's flowery world, herding horses, and Jin Mingchi... Dear Sirs ,effort."

…

The cavalry walked slowly on the mountain road. From time to time, a horse neighed or someone coughed.

Bao Zheng is over sixty years old. At this moment, Zhao Shu would not recognize him even if he came in person.

He was wrapped tightly in a cotton-padded coat and a cotton hat...

If future generations were here, they would definitely exclaim, "Isn't this how our Nagada wears clothes in winter?"

Cotton coat, cotton hat, but it's a pity that Bao Zheng didn't put his sleeves in the sleeves, otherwise he would be similar to the old man in the Northeast in later generations.

The weather was really cold. Bao Zheng sniffed and felt warm all over, so he said to the officials next to him: "Although these clothes look bulky, they are warm to wear and are better than official uniforms."

The official smiled and said: "Yes! But Xiang Bao, you look very majestic in this big cloak... Gui Xinhou is full of filial piety, so you can enjoy it."

Bao Zheng and Shen An love each other like father and son. After arriving at Daming Mansion this time, the weather took a turn for the worse, so Shen An got this set of clothes. But Bao Zheng thought it was too ugly and was detrimental to his face, so he refused to wear it.

Later, Shen An resorted to provocation and said, "If you don't wear it, Mr. Bao, then you are still thinking about renewing your string..."

Lao Bao is over sixty years old. He had two wives before, but they have all gone.

More than sixty!

This age is a longevity at this time, and if converted in later generations, it will probably be eighty years old.

Does such a person still want to find a woman?

Lao Bao couldn't stand it anymore and chased him all the way, but finally put on this warm weapon.

"warm."

Bao Zheng touched the cotton hat. There were two small ears on it. If it was put down, it could be buckled under the chin, leaving only the mouth, eyes and nose exposed on the whole face.

He thought the hat was very novel, but he didn't know that in Shen An's eyes, he was almost like an old farmer.

"An Bei, I don't want to wear something like this, it's ugly."

Cao Yi looked determined, but his body was trembling.

Looking back, the soldiers were all wearing cotton-padded clothes and hats, and they were smiling happily. This was probably a rare sight in the army of the Song Dynasty.

"up to you."

Shen An also wore a cotton coat. He felt warm all over and just wanted to have a steaming bowl of mutton noodles.

"Ah!"

Cao Yi sneezed, sniffed, and said: "In the past, when we marched in winter, the soldiers always complained, and many people got sick along the way. But now with cotton robes and hats, these are no longer a problem... Anbei, For this alone, you are a great meritorious person.”

"How many legs is it worth?"

Shen An is looking at the world.

The road ahead is not far from Yanmen. The mountain road is not rugged, but the surroundings are dusty.

The vegetation he saw was not green, and was mixed with the soil and stones, giving people a sense of desolation and reminding Shen An of the north.

"Ah!"

Cao Yi couldn't stand it anymore, but he still pretended to be a hero.

"Anbei, it is said that Yelu Hongji is in Shuozhou. Do you think he will attack Yanmen?"

On the way, the scouts sent this news, and everyone's hearts tightened.

That's Yelu Hongji!

This guy likes to hunt around all year round, but now he suddenly appears outside Yanmen, making people wonder about his intentions.

"Shuozhou is very close to Xixia. Yelu Hongji is stationed there. On the one hand, he can attack Yanmen. If that fails, he can also attack Xixia. This is killing two birds with one stone..."

Shen An said leisurely and fascinated: "It would be very pleasant if I could have a drink with Yelu Hongji."

When he came to this era, he met many historical celebrities. I won’t talk about the Song Dynasty, but there are not many celebrities from other races.

The only famous one is Empress Liang.

That woman...

Shen An couldn't help but think of Xiao Guanyin.

It was rumored in later generations that Xiao Guanyin was a talented woman who was later wronged and died, which made people sigh with regret. UU Reading www.uukanｓshu.net

It's a pity that the woman can't come with her, otherwise he really wants to meet her.

"The Liao people were defeated twice, once in Fuzhou and once in Xiongzhou, both times with you. When Yelu Hongji saw you, his first thought was that he would kill you."

Cao Yi sniffed and felt cold all over.

"Someone is coming from Yanmen."

Someone was shouting from the front, and then a group of cavalry came over.

"Zhang Ju has met Bao Xiang."

A general saluted respectfully.

Bao Zheng nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Ju looked up and saw Bao Zheng's outfit, especially the cotton hat, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Is this a package? How come he looks like an old farmer?

Bao Zheng didn't know what others thought of this outfit, so he said majestically: "Lead the way."

"yes."

Zhang Ju was very respectful, but Bao Zheng felt that something was wrong, so he asked the officials around him, "Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?"

The official couldn't help laughing and said: 'It's extremely appropriate. ’

Bao Zheng glanced at Shen An behind him and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Bao Xiang..."

A small official who was accompanying him wanted to flatter Lao Bao but couldn't find the opportunity. Seeing that everyone was pretending to be stupid and refused to point out that Bao Zheng looked like an old farmer, he risked his life and said: "What you are wearing, you look like this." Like... an old farmer."

"Old farmer?" Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Excellent."

He said it was very good, but the veins on his forehead were jumping.

He does not discriminate against the old farmers, but as the Third Secretary Envoy, the highest official on this trip, he must maintain his dignity, otherwise how can he control his subordinates?

No wonder the officials in the previous places looked strange when they saw him. They must have been trying to hold back their laughter.

That boy Shen An...
