The situation in the court is chaotic and complicated

If it were in the past, Zhao Huan might not have the courage to go to war with the Jurchens, but now it is different. With the people who are in vain and Huizong is back to the capital, Zhao Huan has also suffered a fierce impact, although it is not a shaky one, but compared with the previous few months after the Battle of Kaifeng, it has obviously declined. I think Zhao Huan now hopes to use an external victory to stabilize the throne. After all, the impact of the Yanshan Alliance has had a great impact on Zhao Huan...

This is the situation!

At that time, Zhao Huan couldn't wait to stabilize the situation and deal with Huizong's still

For this reason, he did not hesitate to lower his attitude during peace talks, seeking cooperation from Jurchens, and able to reach an alliance as soon as possible.

But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the Yanshan Alliance became his fatal injury. The so-called father's suspicion can be covered up. However, this unbeaten defeat cannot eliminate the influence of Zhao Huan's deposed Zhao Gou's throne in a short time, and even demoted Mei Zhili and Li Gang and others, which could not quickly restore his lost reputation.

Similarly, after demoting Mei Zhili and others, Zhao Huan offended the sergeant and doctoral class of the court again.

Those who served Zhao Huan before also began to shake their stance, including Wang Boyan, Bai Shizhong, and now Mei Zhili

Which one will be next?

At this point, Zhao Huan's Duan is far less versatile than Zhao Ji's versatile face.

At least if Zhao Ji had done so, he would not have deposed the relationship so rigidly as a civilian, causing a turmoil in the court.

Geng Nanzhong and others were dissatisfied, and Zhao Huan didn't know how to solve it.

On the contrary, Zhao Ji was very low-key

After the ban was lifted, he lived in silence, either writing paintings or playing the piano and entertainment in the palace, and lived a leisurely life

But behind this Xiaoyao, what actions did Zhao Ji do?

Even Zhao Huan didn't know...

If you can win externally, it will not alleviate Zhao Huan's current situation.

After listening to Yu Yin’s report, Master Zhong also fell into deep thought...

He didn't want to get involved in the court disputes, but the current situation was afraid that he could not help but have the body of Zhong Shidao. One day, a few days ago, according to a message from his family that Zhong Shidao was already ill and could not afford to spend too much time. Although An Dao was carefully conditioned, he could only delay for a while. Once Zhong Shidao passed away, the entire Zhong family would fall on his shoulders.

At that time, Master Zhong was forced to return to the court.

Is it such a smooth transition or a risky blow?

If you succeed, you will become famous and you can accumulate merits; but if you fail...Zhong Shizhong has to consider it carefully, not to mention whether he or she will fight or not also represent his position, which is to stand on Zhao Huan's side; no, it is a neutral

"This Yu Xiaoyi really gave me a problem."

Master Zhong closed his eyes and sat in the room and pondered.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: If this battle succeeds, it will completely change the situation in the northern desert.

Once the Western Liao Dynasty successfully advances north, the situation where the Jurchens dominate the north will also change.

No matter what the situation will be like in the future of the Western Liao Dynasty, at least at present, they can restrain the Jurchens, which is very beneficial to the Song Dynasty. The Western Liao Dynasty can also relieve the pressure in the border areas.

Thinking of this, he picked up a letter from the case

The letter is a dictatorial story by Zhong Shidao, and was written by Zhong Dingguo. He was just sent to Yanjing.

In the letter, Zhong Shidao told him that he had stepped down as the leader of the Zong clan and that the future of Zhong clan would be replaced by Zhong Shizhong. If there is any matter, you can decide by yourself. There is no need to ask him. In addition, Zhong Shidao also said that if you worry about the world first, you will worry about the world first, and then the happiness of the world will come. This is the words of the wise men, Zhong Shi is a small family, and the Song Dynasty is everyone. I hope Duanru can put aside those little thoughts. As long as he thinks it is correct, he will just make a decision without worrying.

Brother, very clear

Master Zhong put down the letter, pondered for a while, and called the butler in.

"You go to Xiangshan Camp now and tell Yulangjun that he can let him give him a sacrificial ritual

If you win or lose, I will take responsibility for him... As for the official side, I think I will agree with this proposition."

"Here!"

The housekeeper responded and turned around and left

Zhong Shizhong walked slowly out of the room, stood on the porch, looking at the dark clouds, his mouth curled up, outlining a strange arc

Looking at the sky, I think the wind and snow are coming!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the seventh day of the 11th month of the first year of Jingkang, snow was blizzard in the north

The strong wind swept through the goose feathers and snowed, raging the Bauhinia Mountains, dyeing the Bauhinia Mountains into a vast white area

It was already late, and after inspecting the upstream of Lai Shui, Alu Bu set out on his way back... The snow was very strong and the wind was very strong. It was almost impossible to see the road ahead. Alu Bu led the three soldiers to move slowly in the wind and snow, panting.

"Bojin, the wind and snow are so strong, why not take a break in front?"

A personal soldier urged him to come forward and shouted loudly

There is no way, if you don't have to yell at such a strong wind, I'm afraid I won't hear it clearly

Aru Bull held the war horse and swallowed a saliva

He took out a wine bag from his horse's back bag, pulled it out, and took a big sip of cold wine. He felt that he had finally gotten better.

“No rest!”

Alu said loudly: "Look at this situation, the wind and snow will be heavier in a while.

There is no place to rest nearby, so it is better to return to Dazhai... I will pass on our orders to make the children feel energetic and work harder\\After returning to the camp, each person will serve two pounds of beef and a jar of strong liquor, so don't delay any more."

Alu Bu, it is Jurchen Meng'an Bojin

There are eight soldiers under his command, including Ali Xi, and there are almost two thousand people.

The Zijinglingkou is the only way to Yanshan Prefecture to lead to Weizhou. After passing the Zijinglingkou, it enters Weizhou. It belongs to the Wanyan Loushi, governed by Fengshengzhou, Xijing Road, and failed to welcome the Jurchen prisoners. After the failure to welcome the position of Fengshengzhou, it was demoted to the position of Marshal of the Military and Horses of the Xijing Road. Wanyan Zonghan took over the past years. At this time, it was a good opportunity for Gucao... However, due to the changes in the form this year, the Jurchens were in internal and external troubles, and Wanyan Wu Qimai issued an order to restrain the Jin soldiers.

Alubu is Wanyan Zonghan's confidant, and it only takes more than a dozen days to connect with Zijinglingkou.

How could I know that I would encounter such a good snow? It was beyond Alu Bu’s expectations. But the more this time, the more I should be vigilant!

Alubu is also considered a war, of course he will not be lazy.

Now, he is in the upper reaches of Laishui, about ten miles away from Zijinglingkou

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. Alu Bu knows that if he doesn't go back early, the temperature will be lower after dark.

After hearing Alubu's words, a group of Jin soldiers cheered in unison

Although they are regular soldiers, they are not rich this year and are not allowed to be grazed, so they naturally have no extra income. This cold weather is the main thing. Eating beef and drinking strong wine is the main thing. So, the Jin soldiers braved the wind and snow to speed up again.

A dark cloud comes from the north

The wind yells, the snowflakes are everywhere

Looking around, the vast white area was covered with blurred vision

Alu Bu covered her face towel and was about to urge the Jin soldiers to get faster, but suddenly he heard a bowstring sound, and a cold arrow roared. If it was normal, Alu Bu could easily dodge, but it was so cold. He rode on the horse and wanted to dodge, but he was slower. He heard a puff sound, and blood appeared. The cold arrow hit Alu Bu's shoulder.

"Enemy attack!"

Alu made a chilling cicada and screamed

Before he could shout, a row of sharp arrows came through the air...

Those exhausted Jin soldiers had no defense in an instant. More than a dozen Jin soldiers were shot down and fell head-on in the snow. They rushed out of the jungle on the other side of Laishui. They all rushed out of the jungle on the other side of Laishui. They were all infantrymen, wearing soft armor, holding sharp blades, and whistling across the river.

In the cold winter, Lai Shui ice seal

A thick layer of ice formed on the river surface, and even if vehicles pass, there will be no problems.

Alu pulled out a cold arrow from his shoulder, lifted his leg and took off a dark, dark Daning pen gun from the horse's back.

However, as soon as the gun was entered, a man in white arrived.

The man in white suddenly jumped up and poked out strangely from his ribs with a slash. The speed was amazing. Alubu only saw a cold light coming in the package of wind and snow. He wanted to block it but it was too late. He heard a scream and was cut off by the other party.

"Don't let a thief go!"

Kill Alubu, the man in white grabbed the reins of the horse and flew onto the horse

The rest of the white men shouted in unison, danced their weapons, and broke into the Jin army. Three Jin soldiers were caught off guard and surrounded by people in white who were several times more likely to walk on the snow. They were exhausted, so they almost had no resistance. The white men wiped out three bodies and fell into the snow. The blood stained the white snow.

"Tell me the order and keep moving forward. Before dark, be sure to take down the mouth of Zijingling Mountains."

Nearly a thousand men in white responded in unison, and then set out on the journey again

The snow is getting heavier and heavier

In the blink of an eye, the shocking bright red on the banks of the Laishui River was covered up again and returned to a cold and silent...

From the other side of Laishui, soldiers kept moving forward.

Everyone was dressed in white and armor, and even the horses were covered with a layer of white cotton cloth.

In this way, these many soldiers and horses are almost integrated between heaven and earth. Without careful observation, you will not be able to see the clues.

The mouth of Zijingling is in front

The Jin soldiers stationed on the ridge were hiding in shelter from the wind, and were not attentive to be on duty.

With such heavy wind and snow, even the indigenous people who have lived in the north for a long time will not come out to act. What is there to worry about?

Although this place is only a little far from the camp where the Song army was at the foot of Taining Mountain, in this weather, the place inside is almost a natural barrier. The Song army will not be dispatched, so naturally the Jin soldiers relaxed and even cursed Alubu in the hearts of many people, and they secretly cursed Alubu for blaming him for such a move... How good would it be to burn fire in the camp tent in this weather!

Dark clouds from the north cover the sky above the Bauhinia Mountains
