The weather is getting hotter in June, and the rainy season in the north has arrived. The river water has skyrocketed, the air is humid, and the bowstrings are moldy. The life of the Jin army surrounded by Zhaozhou is becoming more and more difficult. Now the most shortage is food and grass, and they are surrounded.

In this small place, there is no pasture for grazing, and people cannot eat enough, and there is no horse feed for war horses to eat, and reinforcements have not arrived yet.

"God of Gu, has Nianhan returned north and abandoned us?" It took seven or eight days for the self-transferred army Gaoyi. The messenger who asked for help sent several batches, but Zong Han had not returned the piece of paper, so Zong Qing could not sit down.

After staying, I found Wanyan Xiyin and asked for advice.

"I don't know, the Song army surrounded Zhaozhou now and the news is out of reach!" Wanyan Xiyin shook his head and said, "Han Li is not awake these days, and he is in a coma for most of his time.

All of them were pressed on him, and this talented man from the Great Jin Kingdom also felt like he was in poverty.

"Zhao Er retreated but did not retreat, and he fought but didn't fight. He just surrounded us. Do you want to trap us here to death?" Wanyan Zongqing said irritably, "But why didn't Nianhan come?

, Can you not save me when I see you die?"

"Do you still remember Lou Shi's last words?" Wanyan Xiyin asked.

"You mean... don't let us hope Zonghan will come and break through as soon as possible?" Wanyan Zongqing said after thinking for a moment.

"Well, Nian Han doesn't seem to be coming!" Wanyan Xiyin said with a wry smile.

"Why, isn't he afraid of my father's punishment when he sees death?" Wanyan Zongqing shouted in shock.

"It's very simple. Nianhan saw that this was the trap set by Zhao Er. He wanted to capture our army in one place, and Lou Shi had already seen it. So we wanted to break through as soon as possible, but there was no chance now!" Wanyan Xiyin

Shaking his head and sighing.

"Is this a trap?" Wanyan Zongqing sat down dejectedly.

"Yes. Zhao Er can obviously defeat us with one move, but he has not moved for a long time. He just wants to attract Nianhan to rescue him and then annihilate us all here!" Wanyan Xiyin said.

"Then he is not afraid that Nian Han will see through his tricks!" said Wanyan Zongqing.

"Based on the theory of Contemporaryism, Zhao Er is not afraid, because there is Han in our Western Army and you are the eldest prince. As you said, even if Nian Han sees through the deception, he has to save him, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the emperor.

But Zhao Er still underestimated Nianhan. To be precise, he underestimated Nianhan's ambition. If he had been half as fierce as Nianhan, he would have become the emperor of the Southern Dynasty!" Wanyan Xiyin Yan said that he had worked with Nianhan for many years.

, knows his style very well.

"Does he want..." Wanyan Zongqing felt heartbroken after hearing this. This time, the Jin Kingdom mobilized elite troops from the whole country, which were divided into two groups. If they were wiped out in this country, then only Zong Han's unit was the dominant one in the country.

Even if the emperor is willing to sue, he will be afraid of his strength and dare not move rashly.

"He wants to be a powerful minister!" Wanyan Xiyin said.

"Nianhan won't come. Wushu should come too!" Wanyan Zongqing sat down dejectedly. He also knew that once Zhao Er found out that Nianhan gave up the rescue, he would deal with his side first and then go

Chase Nianhan. This annihilation battle can happen at any time.

"I hope Wushu will not come. First, he is weak and even if he comes to help, it will be useless; second, he is inseparable from Han's talent. If he... then only Wushu can take on this burden, otherwise

Nian Han will be even more unscrupulous!" Wanyan Xiyin said. Now, Han Li Bu’s physical condition is not two days away. Once he leaves, he can be said to be a pillar of the country and lose an opponent who can compete with Zong Han.

Although Wu Shu was young, he showed his talent in governing the army with his first sharpness, but he would definitely become a hero of a generation if he had the chance.

"What should we do then? Are we waiting to die here?" Wanyan Zongqing said in dismay.

"Zhao Er has issued a general order to kill all the soldiers who went south. Then we cannot sit still and wait for death. We can only fight to the death. Life and death are for fate!" Wanyan Xiyin looked at his broken arms and said, "He knew that he would go back."

After the food and grass were exhausted, the soldiers were not willing to fight. At that time, they really had no strength to break through.

"Military Supervisor, Deputy Commander, the Grand Marshal has woken up, please come over!" At this time, Han Li Bubu's personal soldiers walked in and asked them to see the Grand Marshal...

………

The weather was extremely hot and suffocating. Zhao Qi also hid in the woods by the river to escape the heat. He was wearing a small jacket and laying on the grass, pillowing Zhao Xin's thighs, and the guards in charge of guarding him.

They all avoided it with tactfulness and left them there to be close.

"Second Master, you have lost a lot of weight, don't be too busy!" Zhao Xin was still wearing military uniforms, but just took off his weapons. She said while driving mosquitoes for the prince.

"Oh, my life is so hard, my family and state affairs are all pressing on me. I think so much that my head is about to explode. Being an emperor is really not a fun thing!" Zhao Qi sighed and said, now he is considering the situation in front of him.

You also need to consider what happened after you officially ascend the throne. This is not the gains and losses of a city and a place, but the present and future of the entire country are fully considered.

"The second master will soon become the lord of a country. As soon as he says, he will say "the imperial edict". If you want to record it in the "Daily Record", you can't say such words casually, otherwise it will damage the holy reputation!" Zhao Xin seriously said.

Saying.

"You still know what you heard from?" Zhao Qiong asked with a smile.

"Of course I heard from the princess. Since you led the army to fight, the princess said that after you came back, the second master would be made the new king. So I often talked about the rules in the old palace in front of us. I listened to it.

Just remember some!" Zhao Xin said.

"Haha, she has a clever idea and can figure out that I will be the emperor. What do she think?" Zhao Qi said with a little amused, but he also secretly admired that this Khitan princess was indeed extraordinary and had a deep scheming!

"She told me privately that once the Second Master ascended the throne, she would lead the military and civilians of Xijing to surrender and merge into the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Xin said.

"Oh, that's what she told you?" Zhao Qiong said in surprise. He had always felt difficult about the problem of Xijing. After all, he was also regarded as the deposed emperor of Liao, Yelu Yanxi, and existed in the name of Liao. But he called himself a stolen person.

The emperor and empress inherited the mantle of the Song Dynasty and could no longer be the lord of Xijing. His original intention was to make Xijing judge the Song Dynasty as a vassal state, which would be conducive to the stability of Xijing. Once his descendants were born, they would recognize their ancestors.

Guizong no longer had such great resistance, but he didn't expect that she would do so resolutely and thoroughly.

"Well, the princess mentioned it to me several times, which is not like a fake!" Zhao Xin nodded, "The Liao Kingdom has actually been destroyed, and it can only be delayed until now by the support of the Second Master. This is something that everyone in Xijing has understood. Since the Second Master has become a big shot, it has been the only one who has become a big shot.

Why do the emperor of Song have to be a false name? It’s better to add color to the second master!”

"She knows the general, are you willing? Your Xiao family is a great clan in Xijing. What should I do if I am unhappy?" Zhao Qi nodded, raised his face and asked again.

"What does the second master say? As long as the second master thinks it's good, I'm willing. The Xiao family is also declining now, and they have long lost their enthusiasm. How can they be happy? What can they be unhappy? Besides, the second master has never treated them badly.

I'm afraid I'm not happy to get to your big tree!" Zhao Xinyan said.

"Oh, it would be great if you were a Han person..." Zhao Qi suddenly sighed.

"Second Master, I am not as good as a princess, and I am not as good as a princess. I am satisfied just to be by your side. I don't care about those false names!" Zhao Xin immediately heard what the prince meant, but she also knew that the prince was not based on common sense.

If you really do something "big rebellious" with an impulse, you may be buried by the old masters' memorials!

"The world is impermanent, the wind and clouds are changing, life is not satisfactory!" Zhao Qi sighed.

"The second master is going to be the emperor. What else is there to be unsatisfactory? If someone hears it, he will say you..." Zhao Xin said with a blank look on the prince, but he also knows the prince's intentions and his will is not here, but who believes this when he says it.

"Leave the merits and demerits to future generations. Now if you don't defeat the Jurchens, it's nonsense!" Zhao Qi turned over and said, "We have been waiting for so many days. It seems that Zong Han has seen through us.

Plan, it is difficult to achieve the full battle!" These days, the detective cavalry went out to investigate the news, and Zong Han kept holding his troops. I don’t know if he was hesitating or still testing his true intentions, but Zhao Qi also realized that he was

Most of the plans were failed.

"Zong Han is cunning and cruel. The reason why he doesn't move is to wait. If we can't help but eat Han Libu's troops first, then he can withdraw his troops with justification; if we don't move, he will withdraw his troops first, I'm afraid he will go back.

I don’t want to ask the Emperor of Jin to explain it, but I even ended up with a reputation of not saving my life." Zhao Xin said with a sneer.

"Well, it makes sense. Zong Han is more cruel than me!" Zhao Qi nodded. It seems that he had made a mistake to use his brotherly feelings to attract something like Zong Han to take the bait. Now the two armies are two hundred miles apart, and Zhao Yong, who is chasing him, is chasing him.

The troops also retreated to the vicinity of Zhaozhou. He really wanted to run away, but he might not be able to catch up with him, which made him feel unwilling.

"Now, I'm afraid Han Li won't wait for reinforcements soon, so I can't hold back and break through first, so Zong Han can still return safely!" Zhao Xin suddenly thought of something and said, "Then let's start first, fight quickly and decide first."

He ate Han Libu's remnants and led his army to pursue Zong Han. He followed the army to hold the King of Liao hostage, and there were also a large number of plundered property and population. Those who could not run fast would make his plan unable to succeed!”

"The wind is rising..." As he spoke, Zhao Qi felt a gust of wind blowing over. He looked out from the gap between the leaves. He saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, gathering together quickly, and the sky became dark.

"Second Master, go quickly, it's going to rain!" Zhao Xin quickly helped the prince get up, put on his clothes and said.

'Kak...'It was just a moment when Zhao Qi put on his clothes. The sky was as dark as the bottom of a pot. A few lightning flashed by. I remembered a few thunders that made the earth shook as if it was shaking. The war horse tied to the side neighed uneasily.
