The general is on the queen of Xixia

Liaozhong Jingdao, Dading Mansion.

Toya surrounded the outer city with an army of 20. The layout of Zhongjing City imitated Bianliang City, the capital of Song Dynasty, and was divided into outer city, inner city and imperial city.

Toya didn't immediately attack the city, but instead asked the soldiers to transport huge stones to the nearby mountains.The defenders of the Liao Dynasty stood on the city wall and watched from a distance, and they could still see Xixia soldiers building something like a wooden cart.

This gave Liao precious time.There are only [-] defenders in the city. Relying on the advantage of the defenders, it may not be impossible to delay the arrival of reinforcements.

Yelu Zongzhen's illness has been repeated recently, and he has been in court for many days.Empress Dowager Xiao seized the opportunity and came out to control the government.

Empress Dowager Xiao is a person with a strong desire for power. She has always wanted to abolish her eldest son, Yelu Zongzhen, and let her second son, who is more obedient to her, inherit the throne.Unexpectedly, this stupid son of hers, who was instigated by someone, failed to rebel and was killed in the rebellion instead. She begged the emperor hard to save the life of Yelu Zongyuan's child.

As long as Yelu Zongyuan's child sits on the throne, she can control everything behind the scenes as the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Xiao's intentions were well known in the court of the Liao Kingdom, and many courtiers were still staunch royalists. Although Yelu Hongji died, the emperor still had two sons who lived well, so there was no need to worry about no one inheriting the throne.

Liao Kingdom, Shangjing.

Yelu and Luwo, the emperor's second sons, had just been crowned kings of Yue a few years ago and stayed behind on Shangjing Road.When he received a letter from Feige from Zhongjing asking for help, he immediately summoned his staff.

After discussion, the aides analyzed that in the current Xixia, the troops are attacking in two ways, and the Xixia army is almost coming out in full force.As long as the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Shangjing Road in the north of Xixia are suppressed, the empty Xixia will perish.

Shangjing Linhuang Mansion is not far from Zhongjing, and there are enough troops. Just when Empress Dowager Xiao was confidently waiting for the reinforcements from Shangjing, Yelu and Luwo went straight to Xixia with an army of 50.

After dealing with the Xixia army for almost ten days, the generals of the Liao army lost all patience and set up their formations to attack. Sure enough, Xixia began to withdraw their troops again.

Withdraw, I don't believe you can retreat to Xingqing's hometown!General Liao thought hard.

When the two sides chased for nearly fifty miles, General Liao was dumbfounded. Is there such a fight?

Wu En was panting with difficulty, he was so tired that if he ran on, let alone a man could not hold on, even a horse would soon die.

Toya, if you don't hurry up, I can't hold it anymore.Wu En became more and more anxious.

"Uncle, how are the cannon carriages prepared?"

Amur silently counted the number of gun carriages

"There are still three planes to go, and it will take today's Shenshi to build it at the earliest."

Toya was a little anxious, and it was already a day behind the original plan.

There are enough stones to be thrown, and only the construction of the catapult remains.Under Toya's repeated urging, all the preparations were finally completed before sunset.

The army continued to advance and stopped when it was 500 meters away from the city wall.

The Liao army began to shoot arrows on the city wall, and the Xixia soldiers raised their shields against the rain of arrows and began to put stones on the artillery carts.

In the puzzled eyes of the soldiers guarding the city of Liao, huge stones weighing several hundred kilograms were thrown into the sky by those strange racks.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

The defenders shouted in panic.

The stone smashed against the city wall with a huge impact.

"It's a trebuchet! Hide quickly!"

Why can a trebuchet throw a stone without being pulled by someone?A guarding soldier of the Liao Kingdom didn't even think about it before he died.

The impenetrable city wall in the eyes of the soldiers began to crumble, and the dull impact sounded straight to the heart.

The second wave of projectiles were no longer pure stones, but were also covered with flammable materials.

Fireballs fell from the sky one after another, and the terrified Liao army soon heard the horn of Xixia's charge.

Wu En's mouth was dry and cracked, and she licked her lips when she didn't have time to drink water.After another five days of dealing with the Liao army, the two sides lost no less than tens of thousands of people, and it will depend on who can't stand it first.

The horses of the two armies could not run anymore, and they faced each other quietly on the plain of Ma Pingchuan.

The general of the Liao army was pale. After hearing the news that Zhongjing was besieged by the herald, he instantly understood why the Xixia army did not attack head-on.

It's just that now he has no way to return to help, and now that the soldiers are in a state, they will die of exhaustion on the way if they don't reach Zhongjing, and the troops from Shangjing should soon go to support.He breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to rest for the night and think about countermeasures.

As night fell, the soldiers of Xixia and Liao fell into a deep sleep, and no one had the energy to attack the other side's barracks at night.

Wu En couldn't help but closed his eyes, feeling that it was only a moment, Su He rushed in, lowered his voice and said excitedly:

"Your Majesty!"

"what happened?"

Before Su He could answer, Wu En heard a horn sound from a distance,

"It's Toya, she's back!"

In the fifth year of Qingli, Xia and Liao fought on a large scale, and Xixia successively captured Xijing and Zhongjing in the Liao Kingdom, winning a complete victory.

Yelu and Luwo, the second princes of the Liao Dynasty who wanted to make a surprise attack, were once unstoppable in Xixia territory, but they were blocked by Xixia right wing defenders a hundred miles away from Xingqing Mansion for several days. Wu En rushed back with the army in time, Yelu and Lu Wo was buried in Xixia.

The Liao Kingdom had no leader and split into two countries. The Eastern Liao was dominated by the Jurchen tribe, and the Western Liao was dominated by the Khitan tribe.

Xixia ceased fighting, but Dongliao and Xiliao fought on their own.

Song Dynasty, Bianjing.

After Ye Zhao lost the war with Xixia, his prestige in the court plummeted.

Coupled with Zhao Yujin and Hu Qing's arbitrariness, they almost ruined the peace talks between the two countries.The emperor thought that Ye Zhao had no credit for his expedition and had hard work. On the surface, he fined the royal family's salary for one year, and relieved Zhao Yujin from his official position, without further punishment.

Even so, there were still ministers in the court who felt that the punishment was too light, and wrote several impeachment papers, but they were all suppressed by the emperor.

Liu Tiantuo has been stationed at the border for the country for decades, coupled with Zhao Yujin and Ye Zhao's intercession, the death penalty was eliminated, and he was demoted to a commoner.

In the past year, Nanping County's palace can be said to have fallen into Pingyang, and the friends who used to hang out with Zhao Yujin secretly ridiculed him from time to time behind his back. After Zhao Yujin learned about it, she was unwilling to associate with them again. Take care of wife and children at home.

When Liu Xiyin was forcibly brought back, she only asked Ye Zhao how Wu En was doing.

Ye Zhao didn't hide it from her either, Yinuo was dead, and King Xixia was fine.

Liu Xiyin said that she wanted to leave, but Ye Zhao refused.

From then on, Liu Xiyin never spoke a word to Ye Zhao again.Ye Zhao took the initiative to chat with her several times, but Liu Xiyin just pretended that she didn't exist.

Ye Zhao was afraid that Liu Xiyin would do something stupid, so he sent a few maids to keep an eye on her all the time. Liu Xiyin didn't do anything extreme, she danced sword every morning, played the piano at noon, and read books in her free time.If Ye Zhao came to the yard, she would sit on the stool and drink tea without dancing or playing, which was obviously meant to drive people away.

Ye Zhao knew that Liu Xiyin didn't want to see her now, so he stopped being an eyesore to her.

No one mentioned Xi Xia's matter again, those pasts have become a family taboo.

Later, Liu Tiantuo and Mrs. Liu disposed of a house not far away, and Liu Xiyin proposed to move out of the Nanping County Prince's Mansion. Ye Zhao had a premonition that something would happen if Liu Xiyin was not kept under her nose. She always believed in her instincts, so Ye Zhao Still disagree.

Liu Xiyin still didn't argue with her, and would occasionally go out to see her uncle and aunt as a filial piety.Ye Zhao sent people to follow, but did not stop him.

The concubine in the mansion was puzzled and frightened when Liu Xiyin just came back. Didn't this beautiful cousin get married?How did this come back?

She is already in her early twenties, it is difficult to find a good family, but at such an advanced age, she is still staying in the palace. Could it be that the mistress and the county king already have plans for Naliu Xiyin to be a side concubine?

Xuan'er and Mei Niang are fine, and feel that the relationship between the mistress and the county king has always been very good. Now Ye Zhao has given birth to a son for the county king. , As long as there is no trouble, life should be how to live or how to live.

Yang Shi didn't think so, she had been in charge of the financial power of the palace, Ye Zhao didn't know how to deal with these things, so she always left it to her.

Therefore, even though she is just a concubine, the servants of the housekeeper have always respected her.Liu Xiyin is the mistress's cousin, so how can she, the concubine of a little seventh-rank official, compare to Liu Xiyin who has read poetry and books since she was a child.As long as Liu Xiyin enters the door, she will definitely take away the power of housekeeper.

A concubine without favor or heir, the power of a housekeeper, is the last thing she can grab.

Yang Shi persuaded Xuan'er and Meiniang to deal with Liu Xiyin together, but Xuan'er and Meiniang couldn't think of where she would be, so the helpless Yang had no choice but to act on her own.

Go to Ye Zhao first, intentionally or unintentionally tell some interesting stories about ancient palaces, such as the story of Zhao Hede and Zhao Feiyan, the sisters of the Zhao family in the Han Dynasty, who served Emperor Hancheng together, and finally the sisters were jealous of each other.

Ye Zhao thought the little stories she told were quite interesting, and praised her for knowing a lot.

Realizing that he hated Yang Shi, who was playing the piano, he had no choice but to find another way.
