In this year, the situation between the Song and Xia countries suddenly reversed. The Empress Dowager Liang died, and Xia's famous generals were captured successively. Zhang Kai comforted Meile and Amian, and they were willing to surrender. Many tribal chiefs in Xixia surrendered one after another when they saw that Amian and Meile had also surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Kai couldn't help but be overjoyed. With the current situation, it was easy to capture Xixia. While he built Xianbokou into a heavily-armed fortress, he actively prepared for war. Within half a year, he incorporated the entire Tiandu Mountain and Hengshan into the territory of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Emperor Xia Guo'er Li Qianshun took the opportunity to take power. When the Empress Dowager Liang was there, Li Qianshun was severely suppressed. As soon as the Empress Dowager died, he immediately sent troops to destroy the Liang family, killed all the followers of the Empress Dowager Liang, and took over the government.

Before Li Qianshun came to power, everyone looked down upon him, but after he came to power, he showed great talents and great strategies. He calmed down the surrender trend in Xixia in one fell swoop, established a good relationship with the Liao Kingdom in the north, and bowed to the Song Dynasty, and secretly sent people to the capital. Dignitaries sent treasures and beauties.

The scumbags in the Song Dynasty took bribes and asked Emperor Zhezong to return to the court to negotiate peace with Xixia on the grounds that the treasury was in short supply. The Liao Kingdom did not want to see the rise of the Song Dynasty and sent envoys to put pressure on the Song court. However, in order to compete for credit, the troops in the rear area of ​​Pingxia City in Yan'an Prefecture and the Hebei Road army deducted food and grass and neglected military aircraft, making it difficult for the Pingxia armies to do anything. Continue.

Zhang Kai had no choice but to write to Emperor Zhezong, requesting a temporary ceasefire. After the veteran general sent this memorial, he held a banquet and invited all the generals in the army to come and drink and have fun. Wu Song, Lu Da, Yang Jian and Gongshu Yanran were also among them. Wu Song and Lu Da both served as commanders of the military capital. Gongshu Yanran was a female general and had the title of Marquis of Yu, the military capital, one level lower than Wu Song. Because Yang Jian was a supervisor and a eunuch, Zhang Kai took back his military power.

At the banquet, the old general frequently encouraged the guests to drink, and it could be said that the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. When the wine was in full swing, Zhang Kai suddenly burst into tears. The generals quickly comforted him. The old general pointed to the west and said: "A hundred miles away, we are in Yinchuan. It's a pity that we can't. Drinking with you in Xingqing Mansion!"

All the generals fell silent. The Song army reached the edge of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia, but stopped at the last step. How could it not be disappointing? Zhang Kai was born as a scholar and spent his whole life on the battlefields of Song and Xia. However, he was unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish when he was old. No wonder he burst into tears.

Guo Cheng, Zhe Keshi and others were also unhappy and resigned one after another. Zhang Kai did not retain them, leaving only Zhong Shidao and Wu Song. The old general talked secretly with Zhong Shidao for half an hour, not knowing what to say. Zhong Shidao said goodbye and left, and invited Wu Song to talk about some trivial matters. Finally, he said: "Master Wu, Zhang has already written to His Majesty and the Prime Minister. , to form a warlock camp. Your Majesty has agreed to name it Tianji Pavilion and invite Qi practitioners from all over the world. Zhang Mou has thought about it, and the position of leader of Tianji Pavilion belongs to you.

Although Yang Jianjun is a hero, it is a pity that he is an eunuch. I am afraid that he will have second thoughts after taking control of Tianji Pavilion. Gongshu Yanran is a woman and has difficulty convincing the public. Luda is relatively normal when he is not on the battlefield, but when he is on the battlefield, his mind becomes confused. Only Master Wu is the best candidate. "

Wu Song hesitated and said: "Commander Zhang, I have very little magic power, so I might not be able to convince the crowd."

"Master Wu is overly worried. What the Holy Lord is worried about is not the strength of the magic power, but a pure minister, a loyal minister! Master Wu has the support of Your Majesty, and the assistance of Yang Jianjun, Master Lu and Miss Gongshu, this Tianji Pavilion can I am firmly in your hands and loyal to His Majesty!"

Zhang Kai continued to ramble on, saying many words of loyalty and patriotism, and Wu Song had no choice but to agree.

The two talked for a long time before Zhang Kai stood up and sent Wu Song off.

When Wu Song left the general's mansion, the breeze blew, and he felt a chill on his back, and he was covered in cold sweat. Na Zhangqi ambushed several ballistas and more than a dozen military sharpshooters on both sides of the living room. If he had even the slightest hint of disloyalty to Zhe Zong, he would be dead in the general's palace by now.

He didn't blame Zhang Kai. This admirable old general was just making a last-ditch effort for the Song Dynasty. He was worried that Tianji Pavilion would be handed over to a minister with two intentions. But despite this, how many years can the Northern Song Dynasty court continue to thrive? When Huizong ascended the throne, these days became fewer and fewer. When Fangla Uprising in Songjiang came, the years of the Northern Song Dynasty could only be passed on the fingers.

The last wise emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhezong, only had a few days left to live. Whether Tianji Pavilion could be built is still unknown.

In the autumn of the second year of Yuanfu, Song Xia negotiated peace. Zhang Kai and other generals stayed in the newly built Xi'an Prefecture. Zhong Shidao led his army to Beijing to offer prisoners, and Wu, Song and Yang Jian followed the army. Because Wu Song could not ride a horse, he went with the infantry. Yang Jian, who was loyal to Lu Da, also followed him on foot. When Gongshu Yanran saw this, he also dismounted and stayed with them.

This girl was still worried about Zhang Kai's arrangement of Wu Song as the head of the Tianji Pavilion. Wu Song comforted him: "You losers have a grudge against the Yin and Yang family of the Mo family. If you are allowed to serve as the head of the pavilion, I'm afraid it will attract them to seek revenge and provocation. Zhang Shuai is also protecting you."

Only then did Gongshu Yanran feel relieved. The four of them talked and laughed along the way, chatting about some anecdotes about the world, but they didn't feel that the journey was far.

In front of the infantry were the prisoners of Xixia, who were held in a car and served with good wine and meat. There was also a Xixia princess inside. Yang Jian was extremely curious and ran to take a look. When he came back, his face was pale and he said nothing.

Wu Song smiled and said, "Is that princess so beautiful that even Manager Yang was attracted to her?" Yang Jian was stunned and silent.

Seeing this, Luda became curious and ran over and took a look into the car. Even with his strong nerves, he couldn't hold it back. He came back and vomited all over the floor and said, "I thought the princess must be a flower." A beautiful person, but I didn’t expect it to be so miserable, and the Sa family suffered a loss!”

Gongshu Yanran was a woman, and she said displeasedly when she heard this: "If you judge a person by his appearance, you will lose his son. Even if you are a bit uglier, you can't say this. After all, you are still a princess of the same country!"

Luda said: "You are talented and bold, go and see!"

Gongshu Yanran hesitated, took two steps forward, looked back at Wu Song, and said, "Pavilion Master, come and accompany me to be brave."

Wu Song had wanted to take a look for a long time. After hearing what she said, it was exactly what I wanted, so he accompanied Gongshu Yanran to the car. Gongshu Yanran jumped into the car, opened the curtain and took a look. Then the girl rolled her eyes, fainted, and fell down from the car.

Wu Song quickly caught her, held her in his arms, glanced secretly into the car, and ran away. Ruda smiled and said: "How?"

"I swear I will never eat pork again!"

Yang Jian only now came to his senses and said with deep sympathy: "Me too."

Gongshu Yanran woke up leisurely, jumped out of Wu Song's arms, and said with lingering fear: "If Xia Bing had let this princess go into battle, I'm afraid our Song Army would have been defeated long ago!"

"I was originally worried that us warlocks would attract crowds to watch when we came to Beijing, but now I'm relieved."
