The 20th year of Zhiyuan (the third year of Xingyan), for the Mongolian Yuan, it was a year of many disasters.

In this year, a coup occurred in a large capital. When Bei'an King Namuhan entered Dadu, he was assassinated. But soon the court officials discovered that it was just Namuhan's substitute, but his true body was in peace. This assassination completely ignited contradictions, and a peaceful transition to the regime was impossible, so they could only resort to force.

Subsequently, Namuhan led 30,000 cavalry and infantry to launch an attack on Dadu. At the same time, the 100,000 Mongolian troops who were guarding the capital of the Mongolian Yuan also marched north under the leadership of Yuxi Timur. Half a month later, the two armies encountered at the foot of Juyang Mountain in Yunzhou, and the war broke out immediately.

In order to eliminate his worries in seizing power, Namuhan had no choice but to reach an agreement with Haidu and Naiyan to give up huge benefits. This caused him to lose a considerable number of ministers in the court, so the assassination occurred. While losing political points, his military strength was far less than that of the broad-minded soldiers. Finally, his opponent Yuxi Timur was also a relatively outstanding figure in the late Kublai Khan period.

With many of the above reasons, Muhan's failure was expected.

Namuhan's failure did not bring the peace it wanted to be stable and peaceful. Haidu and Naiyan, who seized the opportunity, launched attacks in the west and north respectively.

Yuxi Timur, Tutuha and two famous Mongolian generals sent troops respectively to withstand the fierce attacks of the Chagatai Khanate and the Northwest Sect Kings. However, in order to stabilize the court and gain his own interests in the new dynasty, Yuxi Timur could not stay on the battlefield for a long time, so he had to rush back to Dadu as soon as possible.

In May, Kuokuo ascended the throne, and that was the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Atahai was the left prime minister and Yuxi Timur as the right prime minister. The first thing the new emperor did ascend to the throne was to discuss with Song Dynasty on the condition of returning the Song Dynasty's former capital Tokyo and the vast area south of Bianliang Road.

This condition sounds embarrassing and has lost a large amount of territory, but in fact it is not the case. If the Mongolian Yuan and Song dynasties still used the Yangtze River as the boundary, and Kuokuo issued such an edict, he would have been ousted in the afternoon.

In fact, the Song Dynasty had taken advantage of the opportunity of internal strife in the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties to reorganize 80,000 troops, once again marched northward, crossed the Yangtze River, and advanced northward, and had already advanced the front line to Huaibei. At this time, the whistle of the Song army's vanguards had appeared in Yancheng - and Yancheng was the southern gate of Bianliang Road.

The Mongolian Yuan was being frustrated by Haidu at this time, and Naiyan could not distribute elite troops to go south to block the Song army. He could only rely on the two Huai Han troops and the New Affiliated Army to resist. At this time, the New Affiliated Army did not dare to fight against the Song army. They either opened the door to surrender or fled, and could not count on them at all. The Han army was basically infantry, and they were completely one-sided massacre facing the Song army's musket formation.

The battles on both sides were not something that the Mongols could bear at this time. In desperation, the Mongols had to ced the territory and seek peace.

In August, Yuxi Timur, the right prime minister of the Mongolian Yuan, and Wen Tianxiang, the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty, signed a two-country armistice treaty in Xiangcheng, Bianliang Road.

This was Wen Tianxiang's second peace talks with the Mongol Yuan. The last time he entered the enemy camp outside Lin'an City, he signed an alliance under the city, but the Mongol Yuan did not even agree to such a shameful treaty, and he directly imprisoned him. This time, he signed an armistice treaty in the capital of the Song Dynasty - yes, it was just a ceasefire, not peace, not a friendly country, nor a brotherly alliance. The armistice time was agreed to be three years, and it would not invade each other within three years, and hostility would be restored after three years.

This is the condition offered by the Song Lord Zhao Lie. If you agree, you will take a breath; if you refuse, you will take down the old capital with swords and guns.

At this time, did the Mongolian Yuan court still have the confidence to refuse? Of course not! Using a journey to exchange for three years of rest is the only choice now.

When Wen Tianxiang held up the treaty, he looked at Yuxi Timuer's ugly face opposite him and felt a lot of emotion. At this time, he only echoed the words that the official said to the officials in the hall, "The weak country has no diplomacy." What a trust!

Next, the Song and Yuan truce were truceed, and they all played their own. The Song Dynasty wanted to digest and absorb the huge gains of the Northern Expedition, and even advanced into the capital. This was something the Song Dynasty had dreamed of for more than 100 years of southward migration. It was about to be achieved and it was of great significance. Another thing was that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was consumed a lot by internal and external wars, and it was damaged by the internal and external wars, but its vitality was still there and could not be forced too much. The dog was anxious to jump over the wall, let alone this evil wolf on the grassland. He used a soft knife to cut his flesh and slowly bleed, and he would let it dry one day...

Without the pressure from the south, the Mongol Yuan concentrated all his strength and continued to fight with the Haidu, which was like a maggot with bones. Naiyan - this was the Mongol Yuan's old enemy, with natural attributes that could not reconcile, so he could only fight to the death until one side was completely defeated.

...

In August of the sixth year of Xingyan in the Song Dynasty, the armistice between the Song and Yuan dynasties expired. The Song Dynasty ignored the request of the Mongols and Yuan dynasties to renew the contract again, but issued a conscript order, and the whole country prepared for the war and restarted the Northern Expedition.

At this time, the Mongol Yuan fought with the Khanate and the Kings of the Northwest Sect for three years, and suffered heavy losses. Years of disasters, people's livelihoods withered and national strength were exhausted. This grassland lion is now unprecedentedly weak. However, the Song Dynasty used the benefits of maritime trade in three years, accumulated millions of grains and expanded its army by 100,000. More than half of the entire army was equipped with firearms, and the army was prosperous. The army was far away from the previous dynasty. This Central Plains tiger had already sharpened its minions and roared to the north. There was no suspense about the end of this war.

The Imperial City of Tokyo is where the emperor stays for a while and rests before going to court and retreats.

At this time, the first day of each month had just ended. Zhao Lie, who had been listening to the government for a whole day, stood in front of the Que Building with his hands in his hands, looking at the sky like a cloud. The red and golden fire clouds illuminated his Yingyi's side face and a seven-treasure golden dragon robe, making it look like a flame, which made people dare not look at him.

Ten steps behind him, he was led by a pure white commander, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor. The heroic Ding Xiaoyi stood quietly with her head down. The long wind blew, and the bright red tassels on the top of the helmet trembled sharply, just like her heart at this moment.

Zhao Lie's deep voice echoed in Quelou: "Have you thought about it, are you sure you want to participate in the Northern Expedition?"

Ding Xiaoyi thrust her breasts and Jiaye Kengqiang: "Yes, I've decided - I want to be an unprecedented female general!"

"There are still so many female generals in the past dynasties." Zhao Lie turned around and looked at her with a smile, "And, aren't you already a female general now?"

When Ding Xiaoyi heard this, he quickly raised his request: "Then I will be the female marshal with the greatest military achievements."

Zhao Lie raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha... If you want to be a female marshal, you can not only defeat most of you..."

Ding Xiaoyi raised his chin: "Then I will fight to the grasslands of Mobei! I will fight to the ancestral land and forests of the Mongolians!"

Zhao Lie looked at Ding Xiaoyi with high fighting spirit, and was also envious. He also wanted to seal the wolf Juxu and Yan Ran gave me credit. Unfortunately, he was already the emperor and it was difficult for him to participate in the war. He nodded gently: "Okay, if this is the life goal you pursue, then I will be dictatorial and block the criticism of the court for you."

Ding Xiaoyi understood that although she fought on the battlefield and her merits were worthy of this armor, she was a woman and was in a high position in the army. All kinds of criticism in the court never stopped, which brought a lot of pressure to Zhao Lie...

Her heart trembled, her silver teeth nippled, and she said softly: "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Lie looked at Ding Xiaoyi deeply: "Maybe you still have time to attend my wedding when you were still in triumph."

Ding Xiaoyi whispered, and his head was a little confused - Yes, Your Majesty has already reached the year of his wedding. Over the years, the inner court and the outside world have urged him many times, and he has repeatedly delayed the state affairs. But now, he can no longer delay...

In a daze, Zhao Lie's faint voice, which seemed to be far and near, floated in his ears: "I have never forgotten the girl who used a bamboo pole to catch me out of the sea of ​​blood; I have never forgotten the days when we walked side by side with wind, rain, blood and fire. I hope my queen will know and be close to me, rather than selecting one from the thousands of strange faces... So, Xiao Yi, you have another choice."

As the two internal officials brought a copper case covered with red silk, at Zhao Lie's instructions, Ding Xiaoyi gently lifted the red silk, and suddenly a burst of pearls and treasures were dazzling. One was the golden treasure of the commander-level golden treasure; the other was a phoenix-like cloud crown that only the imperial concubine could wear...

Ding Xiaoyi lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly in the wind, and her slender fingertips slid back and forth between the golden horn and the phoenix crown, wandering.

What choice should she make?
