The two of them who were about to misfire again were taken aback for a moment, then quickly stopped and put on their clothes. There is still a group of people waiting to eat outside, this is a big embarrassment.
It was still winter, and the mountain was gray and gray, with dead branches on the top of the trees and withered grass under the feet. There was really no good scenery.
Ling Qingyu was very happy, and yelled loudly at the valley with his mouth closed, and then went to listen to the echo of the valley.
Yang Zhao led the horse and stood aside watching her amuse herself, his mind unconsciously turned to the military newspaper he received in the morning.
Yelu, the great king of the Southern Academy of Daliao, has also arrived in Shuozhou. Spring has not yet begun, but Shuozhou is already gathering troops. I am afraid that a big battle in the beginning of spring is inevitable, but the army of the Southern Academy has always been against the Zhao family army from Baigou. , How did you come to Shuozhou this time? Is it to unite with party members? If this is the case, then she must be sent away first.
After playing for a while, seeing Yang Zhao's frowning, Ling Qingyu approached him, hugged his waist, and asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing, don't you want to go to Shaanxi Road to see Han Bian's progress?" Yang Zhao also put his arms around her waist with his free hand, lowered his head and rubbed her head, and said.
"Well, don't worry, I want to watch the seedlings grow here, why? Want to drive me away?" Ling Qingyu smiled.
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "It's a bit cold on the mountain, how about going back first?"
"Um."
Sitting in front of Yang Zhao, the big black horse walked down the mountain unhurriedly, Ling Qingyu asked: "Is there going to be a war?"
"Don't worry." Yang Zhao said, hugging her waist tightly.
"By the way, is there a Empress Dowager Xiao in Daliao?" Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Ling Qingyu changed the subject.
"Well, he died early." Yang Zhao said.
"Then who is the current King of Liao?" I remember that Empress Dowager Xiao was the master of ZTE in the Liao Kingdom, and the emperor behind him was not so good.
"Yelu Zongyuan killed Yelu Hongji five years ago and succeeded to the throne, and because of the chaos on their side, they did not continue to attack the Central Plains after breaking through in those two years." Yang Zhaodao, then lowered his head and asked: " Is it cold?"
Ling Qingyu shook her head. This seemed to be different from the history she knew. It seemed that many places in this time and space were changing.
"Three years ago, a new general appeared in Daliao. It is said that he is the illegitimate son left behind by the Xiao family. In the past few years, he has suppressed the Zhao family in Baigou, and now he has been promoted to Jiedushi. Last year I heard that he was recalled to Beijing, and even his military authority was lifted. But I’m afraid he will be released this year.” After thinking about it, Yang Zhao still said. One day she will know too.
"The Xiao family?" Ling Qingyu was surprised.
"It's not the Xiao family of our Great Zhou, but the Xiao family of the Empress Dowager Xiao." Yang Zhao laughed. You don't remember the best.
"Zhao, you can't always be passively beaten. When the army is ready, go out of Yanmen Pass. The land in the north belongs to our Han people." Zhou Shizong was so talented and bold, but he didn't take the north. It's a strange thing, otherwise, he wouldn't be so passive.
"En." Yang Zhao responded. As a military general, no one wants to take back their homeland, but subject to the restrictions of the court, they can only guard the pass and prevent the enemy from going any further.
Back home, Ling Qingyu went to the cook herself. She is now learning how to cook fish, and she is thinking about adding chili to the fish.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Yang Zhao's expression, Yan San asked the man who had been standing in front of him for three minutes and hadn't spoken yet. Since arriving here, although the two of them knew it well, they didn't say a word in a daze.
"There is a change in the Liao Kingdom, and a large army has been gathered in Shuozhou." Yang Zhaodao, very good, you speak first.
"Run now?" Yan San moved his wrist and said. I can promise to leave within a quarter of an hour.
"Run after the battle." Yang Zhao said with a dark face.
"She's put so much thought into those sweet potatoes and corns. It's best to let her see the seeds." Yan San glanced at him, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, you won't be able to do it by the end of March, right
"I'll try my best." After being silent for a while, Yang Zhao said, he wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to hold the Black Water Pass, but he just didn't want her to face any danger.
"Don't worry, even if the city is broken, I can take her away." After Yan San finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Yang Zhao alone depressed.
Yang Zhao watched Yan Qi talking to him, and the two separated after a brief conversation. He knew the abilities of these two people very well, not to mention there were four more people, but once they fought, who knew what would go wrong. They also know.
March in Dai County is already early spring, and the good seedlings have been sown. Ling Yu doesn't remember the specific planting time of these crops, but knows that April in the Gregorian calendar is the time when everything can be sown. It is the third month of the lunar calendar, and the seeds can be sown around the Qingming Festival on March 14.
Early in the morning, Ling Qingyu put on men's clothes and went to the mountain. Many terraced fields had already been reclaimed and the ridges were tidied up. Dozens of soldiers from farming families and some hired local tenants were maintaining the seedlings that had just been sown.
The soldiers didn't say anything when they saw Ling Qingyu and his party. They had already been told that they shouldn't ask about things they couldn't ask, but they all knew that the crops they had never seen before were brought back by this 'man'. To do things here, the higher-ups will give you money, and you don’t have to practice and you will get money. No one wants to be troublesome.
After standing on the mountain and looking at it for a while, Ling Qingyu went back home. Those soldiers are very familiar with farming, much better than a layman like her. She doesn't know how to take care of these crops, it can only depend on nature.
Yang Zhao came here in the middle of the night for several days and left before dawn. Ling Qingyu felt that he just came here to shoot a cannon and left, but even though he didn't say anything, he could feel that the situation should not be very optimistic. Otherwise, some time ago There are still thousands of soldiers, and they have all gone back in the past few days. Although the sowing has ended and so many people are not needed, it always feels rushed. Fortunately, the tenants hired here are already in place.
The air in the morning is still chilly, but the tops of the branches have begun to turn green, and the grass by the river has also taken on some vitality.
A group of cavalry galloped over from the official road in Dai County. The sound of horseshoes was loud and the sky was full of dust. It is estimated that there were quite a few of them.
Yan San then took the horse to the side of the mountain, and several people jumped off the horse to avoid the group of people.
There are always several hundred cavalrymen in that team, all black battle armor with a cold look, and the military appearance is solemn. Although they are galloping, the formation is not chaotic at all.
Under the hill where Ling Qingyu and the others stopped was a three-way intersection, which led to Dai County on one side, Heishui Pass on the other, and the reclaimed wasteland on the other.
The group of people stopped at the three-fork intersection, waiting for another small group of people to catch up hurriedly from behind.
The knight standing at the front was very tall and strong, but he gave people a very agile feeling. Perhaps he was impatient to wait. The knight took off his helmet, and the long hair tied behind his head was blown by the wind. The sculpted face seems to have a trace of popularity.
He glanced coldly at the horses on the nearby hill and the people next to him, then turned around and asked the sweaty county magistrate, "Which way?"
"This way." Zhang Guochang pointed to the road leading to Heishuiguan, and wiped his sweat secretly. This General Zhao is not as close as General Yang.
Zhao Yinfeng put on his helmet, clamped the horse's belly, and a group of cavalry roared away again.
This person is so familiar, Ling Qingyu thought about it, and then said to Yan San: "This person is a big liar who lied to my hairpin! Right!"
"Going to kill him?" Yan Qi smiled, he had heard this story before, in order to comfort Ling Qingyu's wounded heart, Zhou Tan had no choice but to make some more gorgeous and beautiful ones for her.
"Forget it, I don't care about this kind of scum." Ling Qingyu snorted generously, and then said: "Let's go back, I'm afraid something will happen." If I remember correctly, this person said that his name is Zhao Yin Feng, isn't that the guy who has been touted so much recently that he succeeded Marshal Zhao as the general of Zhen Guo at a young age
"General, General Zhao is here." Mu Guiyun hurried into the main tent and said to Yang Zhao who was marking the map.
"Zhao Yinfeng?" Yang Zhao asked back. Seeing Mu Guiyun nodding, he picked up the helmet on the table and said to the others, "Go out and meet him."
When Zhao Yinfeng walked into the gate of the barracks, he slowed down his pace and rode his horse slowly towards the main tent. It is said that this Yang Zhao has never been defeated in Heishui Pass, and he is known as the Asura God of War. His big camp is indeed well-disciplined and well-trained.
However, my troops are no worse than his, and one day, the title of God of War will belong to me! Just as he was thinking this way, he saw more than a dozen people coming in front of him. The person in front of him was in red armor, with a tall body, and although his face was very handsome, it gave off a kind of chilling air that was not angry or majestic.
"The last general, Yang Zhao, is meeting with General Zhao." Yang Zhao took the lead, and everyone behind him knelt on one knee and gave a great gift.
Zhao Yinfeng didn't call him up immediately, but took a closer look at the generals in red armor behind him. They were all young, but they all looked like battle-tested characters. Their actions just now were very consistent, which showed that they The cooperation between them has reached the point of tacit understanding, which should not be underestimated.
He remained silent for a long time, Yang Zhao's posture remained unchanged, but the people behind had some thoughts in their hearts. Although you, Zhao Yinfeng, are indeed senior officials than us, after all, you are not the person who directly controls Heishuiguan, so it is embarrassing. What's the meaning
"General Yang, please get up." Zhao Yinfeng, who realized that he had been thinking for too long, jumped off the horse and helped Yang Zhao up with his own hands.
Only then did Yang Zhao get up, smiled and asked Zhao Yinfeng to go to the main tent.
Yang Zhao himself was already tall, but this General Zhao was even taller. He walked like a tiger and a tiger, and every step was a big one. Yang Zhao took half a step back and followed behind. He was really going to look weak around him.
Entering the main tent, Zhao Yinfeng sat down unceremoniously at the main seat, looked at the sand table in the middle, and said to Yang Zhao: "Daliao sent a letter of credence to negotiate peace with us, and the Holy Majesty has sent Wang Qiang as an envoy." The minister came to negotiate."
Yang Zhao was taken aback, and asked, "Daliao has gathered 300,000 people in Shuozhou, and they are also here for peace talks?"
Zhao Yinfeng grimaced and said, "How do I know, the Liao army from Yizhou started to move to this side a month ago, and the letter of credence was also sent to Bianjing a month ago, saying it was on the side of Shuozhou Peace talks, but don't be afraid, I have already brought 150,000 people to Dingzhen Road, and if there is something to do here, I can give you support at any time."
The faces of the people on Yang Zhao's side turned black, who was afraid? Last fall, 50,000 of us beat the shit out of 150,000 of them, so what if we doubled it
