"...With one hundred musketeers, they severely damaged the Jin army's cavalry at Wengcheng, the north gate of Jinan. The Jin general Pucha Hubalu led the remnants of the enemy to jump north. (No., pop-up window... Deputy commander of the Tianzhu army's Tianbo camp, Jia

Tiger, use the ship's dragon head to hit the corner and destroy the Jin Army's pontoon bridge, cutting off the enemy's retreat, and the enemy will not know who fell into the river.

Fan Ji. In this battle, Liu Yi and Guo Zhen, who had surrendered to the enemy, were rebellious. They killed 1,300 enemies and defeated them. Seven members of Puchuan were captured, and 400 enemies were captured. The Jin army was frightened and fled far away. They have fled to Liaocheng. I

The army took advantage of the victory to cross the Jishui River, occupy Qihe and Yancheng, and hold on to the northern defense line. Jinan Prefecture has already taken control..."

Di Lie held the battle report in his hand and couldn't help laughing when he read this: "Okay! Zhang Rong did a good job. Guan Zhongyong has achieved his wish."

Ling Yuan, Gao Liang and other left-behind personnel all bowed to congratulate: "Congratulations to the city lord!"

Di Lie tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a while and then said: "Let Zhao Zhen and Zhao Xu write another letter to Ma Kuo and Guan Sheng respectively to reassure them. Ziyou, you can handle this matter.

"

Ling Yuan understood the idea and respectfully accepted the order.

As soon as the King of Letters, Zhao Zhen, entered the pacification, he was controlled before he had time to catch his breath, and was then secretly escorted to Tianshu City. Zhao Shiba jumped very hard along the way, but when he arrived at Tianshu City, he saw his

Apart from being shocked, these fellow sufferers were also shocked.

All the momentum of Zhao Zhen was gone. After Di Lie arranged for him to go to the Apricot Garden and meet Queen Zhu and all the sisters, Zhao Zhen became completely honest after being stunned. Knowing that he no longer had any capital to rely on, he accepted it honestly.

The fate of being under house arrest.

The three goals of the Jinan Campaign were to save Guan Sheng, kill Liu Yu, and seize Jinan. In the end, only two were achieved, which was somewhat regrettable. Zhang Rong also expressed his apology in the battle report. But Di Lie was quite satisfied with the result.

In history, Liu Yu relied on dedicating cities and recruiting troops to obtain the Jin people. To be precise, he obtained the Jin people.

Wan Yanchang's Qing Mi. Now that he has intervened, Liu Yu's plan to surrender to the enemy is a piece of cake. He is alone and defecting to the Jin people. Without the basic strength, it is impossible to make as much effort as in the history of another time and space.

There is a big movement. From this point of view, it can be regarded as achieving its goal.

The matter in Jinan City has come to an end, but looking at Ling Yuan's expression, it seems that there is something else going on.

When Di Lie glanced over with inquiring eyes, Ling Yuan immediately saluted: "There is one more matter for the city lord to decide."

Di Lie didn't speak, but just nodded his chin, signaling him to speak directly.

Ling Yuan collected his thoughts and said calmly: "After spring, the ice and snow on Jingxing Road has melted and the road has been opened. From time to time, business travelers come and go from Hebei to Hedong. They pass through the tip of the road to conduct reconnaissance. There are many suspicious people among them.

Yesterday, three people with suspicious behavior broke into my house.

The Secrecy Bureau was set up in a stronghold disguised as a residence in Dashiling. It inquired from intelligence personnel about the whereabouts of the captured golden soldiers during the Battle of Naiheguan last year. The intelligence personnel were naturally not polite to these people who surrendered themselves to the trap. They used drugs to kill them.

Ma Fan, capture them all and send them to the city this morning."

Di Lie nodded. There is nothing surprising about this. Just as he sent a large number of intelligence personnel to go deep into the states and counties of Hebei and Hedong, especially the two important towns of Zhending and Taiyuan, the Jin Army naturally wanted to play this trick. However, the Jin Army

It is still possible for the spies to enter Pingding. But if they want to sneak into Tianshu City, which is heavily defended, has dangerous terrain and is almost a forbidden area, it is a widow who has a dead son - there is no hope.

Di Lie knew what information Ling Yuan should have obtained by saying this, so he said directly: "You should have been interrogated. What happened?"

Ling Yuan's expression was very strange. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He said word by word: "They are the envoys sent by Wanyan Zongfu, the right deputy marshal of the Jin Army. They have only one purpose. They are willing to exchange money and silk for Wanyan Sheye's horse!"

As soon as this statement came out, the entire meeting hall, such as Gao Liang, Hou Fangjing, and Liu Erping, all looked at each other in shock, with expressions on their faces that were both surprised and funny: She Yema? That guy who was bitten to death by a dog? He's still there right now.

It was frozen like a popsicle and thrown into the ice cellar. How can such an ice cube be exchanged for money and silk?

Hou Fangjing couldn't help laughing and said: "The city lord still had the foresight to wash and dress the body of Nashe Yema, and sealed it in an ice cellar, saying that it could be sold for money... Didn't it come true today?"

Liu Erping chuckled and said: "Dead people can be sold for money. If the city lord goes into business, he will make more money than Lao Hou..."

Di Lie and all his subordinates laughed.

At this time, Di Lie was far from being a high-ranking person, and most of his subordinates were soldiers and bandits. Except for Chen Gui, Zhang Jiao, Ling Yuan and others who were more particular about superiority and inferiority, the rest of them were usually between superiors and subordinates.

It was quite casual. Even Liu Erping, an old farmer, was not afraid to make fun of him.

In such an atmosphere, Ling Yuan also made a rare joke: "How much money does the city lord want to sell?"

Di Lie stood up with a smile and walked out of the hall and said: "Take care of those envoys and don't hit the smiling people, let alone the people giving money. As for what to exchange, I will make a list tomorrow.

Checklist."

In Xingyuan, Di Lie hasn't been here for a long time. Now Yang Tiao'er and Yu Xianhua have been arranged to his yard to take care of his daily life. The identities of these two girls are Gong'e.

As the lord of Lieyicheng, he only dispatched two maids to serve him. In the eyes of others, he was already too self-disciplined, so naturally there would be no gossip.

And Zhao Yuanzhu, who had just tasted love, wanted to be with Di Lie all day long, but because of her status, she was destined not to be like the two palace ladies, blatantly moving out of the apricot garden to accompany Di Lie. Because of this, the second time in her life

This time, Zhao Yuanzhu hated her status as an imperial concubine—as for the first time, naturally it was the humiliation of being kidnapped by the Jin when Bianjing City was destroyed.

Regarding Zhao Yuanzhu's grievance, Di Lie just patted her round and beady cheek and said: "Don't worry, there will be a day when you walk into my bedroom openly, and everyone will take it for granted."

Of course, Di Lie didn't expect that just a vow could soothe the heart of a longing girl for a long time. So when he was in Tianshu City, he would make excuses to visit the Apricot Garden from time to time to have a tryst with Zhao Yuanzhu. However,

He came here today not to have sex with the woman he admired, but to pay a visit to Empress Zhu.

Because it was a more formal visit, I had already announced it before coming. Therefore, along the way, I could see many girls who were familiar or not familiar, standing at the side of the road, with their sleeves rolled up in courtesy, only when Di Lie passed by.

After that, he quietly raised his head and took a peek at the tall and hidden body, with a hint of mist in his beautiful eyes...

Leading the way in front of Di Lie was Sandalwood, the female official of Xingyuan and Princess Wuyang.

Spring in Taihang. The ice and snow have just melted, but the temperature is still low. Sandalwood is wrapped in a plain white mink fur, and snow-like mink velvet is wrapped around her thin white neck, giving people an extraordinarily soft feeling of pity.

.The thick mink fur followed her movements. The folds of the waist branches made the exquisite curves disappear and appear.

In early spring, the apricot flowers have not yet bloomed, but there are beautiful flowers in front of me. Compared with the apricot flowers in the garden, Di Lie is even more moved.

Perhaps Di Lie's gaze was too aggressive. Even with his back turned to Di Lie, Sandalwood felt like electricity was burning all over his body, and his heart was pounding. There was a feeling that he could hardly move. Maybe it was because of this.

Like this, unconsciously

The distance between the two gradually shortened, and then she felt a warmth in her ears, and a warm air and voice sprayed into her ears: "You are very talented in rehearsing dramas. The success of the three-act drama "Naiheguan Defense War", you

It’s a big contribution.”

Sandalwood's heart almost skipped a beat, and she ran a few steps forward in a panic, muttering: "That's... a little girl's responsibility..."

"On the night of Shangyuan, the military-civilian gala tour in Pingding City. You are also the chief director. This talent cannot be wasted..." Di Lie held his chin and thought for a while, "I thought, I should give you a Tianlai Camp

officer status."

Sandalwood's eyes lit up and she suddenly looked back. She smiled Qiaoqianyan: "Is it really okay? But I didn't join the female military camp?"

"This is easy to handle, just think of it as introducing special talents." Di Lie doesn't think this is a problem. Tianlai Camp is equivalent to the army's art troupe in later generations. It can attract any singer or movie star. Then it will be awarded a literary and artistic rank.

Who of those so-and-so stars who "became a monk" on the way have received decent military training? Talents in urgent need like Sandalwood can definitely follow the example of later generations.

"It's decided, you will be the deputy commander of Tianlai Battalion."

"Scared!" Sandalwood was really scared, "Deputy Commander? This, this is too..."

Di Lie laughed: "The Tianlai Battalion does not belong to the Tianzhu Army's combat order. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to command the troops. As long as you can command the female soldiers in the camp to put on a big show - isn't that what you have been doing all along?

Did you do it? Now it’s just to make your name justified.”

"That's it..." Sandalwood bit her red lips after understanding, and glanced at her long and charming eyes, "Let me, the princess, think about it again..."

"What? Think about it? I said..." Di Lie had to swallow the following words, because Empress Zhu's Building No. 1 has arrived.

Perhaps nourished by the green mountains and green waters of Taihang, the beautiful bells and graces, and the comfort of time, Empress Zhu's cheeks are plumper and whiter than when she first went to Taihang. The oval face shape that originally resembled that of her cousin Zhu Wanting is quite similar to that of Zhao Yuanzhu.

Although her figure was tightly wrapped in thick mink fur, Di Lie estimated that her figure was quite plump from the bulging look on her chest.

Being scrutinized unscrupulously by a young man was almost unthinkable for a former queen. But for Empress Zhu, she was more or less used to it. The man in front of her had no idea what it meant to look at no evil.

.The cousin once reprimanded him for this, but the man plausibly said, "If no man is willing to look at a woman, that would be the greatest tragedy."

She remembers that all the maids and sisters present at the time were petrified when they heard such crazy talk. After that, she knew that discussing this with this shameless person was purely asking for embarrassment.

At this moment, Empress Zhu automatically ignored those extremely aggressive gazes and said calmly: "Your Highness, what are you talking about when you come here?"

Di Lie withdrew his burning eyes and gestured to the left and right. Empress Zhu understood what he meant, waved her jade palm lightly, and the maids on the left and right bowed their heads and folded their sleeves and retreated.

"I just want to tell you this time that you can exchange a dead horse for a living person."

Empress Zhu was stunned for a while before she understood. Her joy was followed by worry: "But that Jin Chief Wanyan Zongfu is going to live..."

"You want to see a person in life, you want to see a corpse in death, that's what Wanyan Zongfu said." Di Lie said calmly, "So even if I only give him a corpse, he can only hold his nose and accept it."

"This King of Pearls is the eldest son of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin. I have also met the Golden Chief Wanyan Zonghan. He is definitely not a person who can tolerate the murderer of his son and his enemy to stay calmly and comfortably under his nose."

"Then let him come. It's nothing more than another Naiheguan battle." Di Lie's expression did not show any fluctuations and remained as calm as ever.

Empress Zhu looked at this fearless man and couldn't help but think of her husband, the most powerful man in the world, and her father-in-law, who had also ruled the world for decades at this time last year. These two most powerful men in the world faced each other.

The scene of the father and son holding each other's arms and crying in the Longde Palace due to Wanyan Zonghan, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin, forcing him into the palace.

I remember that at that time, I was crying so hard that my heart broke out. I just felt that the father, son and emperor suffered so much for the sake of the people in the world. They were so pitiful, pitiable and admirable. I still remember that the two kings were threatened by the golden man and left the city.

On this occasion, the people of the city lit lamps, practiced arms, and wept in the streets. The scene was so heartbreaking and emotional.

But to this day, the nightmare experience and the aftermath of the disaster, and the painful reflection made her realize a few simple but profound truths like a sudden enlightenment: poor people must be hateful; although the country is big,

, If you are afraid of war, you will perish; if the country is rich and the people are strong but the army is not strong, it is backward, and if you are backward, you will be beaten.

Also faced with the brutal murderous intention of the demon-like Golden Chief Wanyan Zonghan. The father and son, who held millions of soldiers, could only cry and cry, but in the end, the arrogant man with less than 10,000 soldiers in front of him just looked at him lightly.

Say "Let him come"...

For some reason, Empress Zhu felt very, very relieved after hearing these words. It seemed that after saying these words, Wanyan Zonghan would retreat and not dare to show his face again. Well, yes, it was very reassuring. He was the only one that day.
To be continued...
