Although the weather was very cold, the tent was as warm as spring.
Zhao Shan immersed himself in solving Jiang Yuhuang's problem, making Jiang Yuhuang's face turn red with embarrassment.
The reunion of the young couple who had been separated for a long time was originally a raging fire, and coupled with the fact that Jiang Yuhuang was still breastfeeding, it became even more like a peerless delicacy that people couldn't help but taste.
In addition, Zhao Shan led his troops north to Yunzhong County and banned female sex for a period of time. Now that Jiang Yuhuang is here, the atmosphere has quickly changed from solving Jiang Yuhuang's difficult diseases to clearing the pipeline.
The relationship between husband and wife is like a close friendship. The deeper the relationship, the more popular it becomes.
Zhao Shan continued to devote himself to the Tao. After a long time, everything returned to calm.
Jiang Yuhuang re-wrapped herself in the corset and put on the thick robe over her bellyband. During the period after giving birth, she was quite distressed because she had too much milk and it was easy to get her clothes wet.
Every now and then, the front of my clothes would get wet. I had to replace the corset and bellyband, otherwise it would always be wet.
Jiang Yuhuang and Zhao Shan have long been familiar with each other, so there is nothing embarrassing about them. The couple talked and walked around the camp in the evening after dinner. Jiang Yuhuang also followed to check the camp's defenses.
After reading the camp defense and layout arranged by Li Buyi, Jiang Yuhuang also admired it very much and could not find any faults.
Back at the camp, the atmosphere at night was ambiguous.
Jiang Yuhuang and Zhao Shan had another heart-wrenching battle before it ended.
Jiang Yuhuang came to the camp, followed by Zhao Shan's personal guards, without revealing his identity, and everything went on as usual.
Time goes by day by day and we enter the new year in a blink of an eye.
In late January, the ice and snow gradually melted.
Although the climate in the clouds is still bitterly cold, the water is no longer dripping into ice like before.
On this day, Zhao Shan and Jiang Yuhuang were studying the map of the northern part of Yunzhong County in the camp, as well as the map situation near King Jin's court. A soldier hurriedly entered and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Shan asked: "What's the matter?"
The soldier quickly reported: "Reporting to your majesty, an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin, Lan Zang, came, saying that he came to see him on the order of Xiao Li, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin."
Zhao Shan raised his eyebrows.
The Jin Kingdom was determined to start a war, and even connected Xiliang and the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now they have arranged for envoys to come. Do they want to deceive them first? Or maybe they were worried about what he had in mind and asked the envoy to appease him to prevent Zhao Shan from flipping the table.
Zhao Shanle took advantage of his plan and ordered: "Bring people in."
The soldiers went to inform him, and not long after, Lan Zang entered the camp with his head held high.
Lan Zang's expression was neither humble nor arrogant. When he saw Zhao Shan, he saluted and said: "Xima Lanzang, the crown prince of the East Palace of the Kingdom of Jin, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Daqian."
Zhao Shan's eyes were slightly cold and he said: "It was at the end of last year when I released Xiao Li. Today, almost two months have passed, and the Kingdom of Jin has not made any move. I am very disappointed."
Lan Zang mocked in his heart.
Zhao Shan, the dog emperor, is really arrogant and not very smart.
More than a month has passed. The Jin Kingdom has united the Northern Wei Dynasty and Xiliang to complete the connection of the three kingdoms. The general trend has been achieved. Zhao Shan is still waiting for a response from the Jin Kingdom. It is simply stupid.
But it's also great.
If Zhao Shan is not stupid, how can the Kingdom of Jin counterattack?
Lan Zang didn't show any emotion on his face. Instead, he looked respectful and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why you haven't responded is because the conditions you set are too harsh and the Prime Minister is very slow to advance."
"The amount of money, war horses, and golden stallions is no small matter."
"The royal family can't afford that much."
"In order to fulfill your conditions, the Prime Minister frequently met with the clan chiefs of various tribes in the Jin Kingdom and negotiated with the clan chiefs. That's why he wasted so much time before completing your Majesty's entrustment."
"The hearts of everyone in our Golden Kingdom to redeem our Lord are as solid as stone and will not waver in the slightest."
Lanzang looked humble and said: "Please give me a clear warning, His Majesty the Emperor Daqian."
Zhao Shan asked: "Have I misunderstood you?"
"Of course it's a misunderstanding!"
Lan Zang spoke without hesitation: "Today, the Jin Kingdom has completed raising money and horses, and is being escorted south by soldiers."
"There are too many supplies going south, as well as too many war horses and stallions, and a large number of soldiers are needed to follow them. In addition, the chiefs of various tribes in the country are worried that Your Majesty may go back on his words after releasing my Lord, so they have also mobilized a large army to accompany them and protect them. My Lord safely withdraws to the Kingdom of Jin."
"This is what the Prime Minister wants to inform you."
Lan Zang solemnly said: "Although a large number of troops are going south, please don't worry, Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan said: "As long as the Kingdom of Jin is sincere, I will naturally not worry, let alone doubt you. Since you are worried about Wanyan Ming, you might as well stay here with Wanyan Ming. I will release you when the Kingdom of Jin provides supplies." You and Wanyan Ming."
Lan Zang's pupils shrank.
I suddenly felt nervous.
Lan Zang knew that the Kingdom of Jin was going to attack Zhao Shan and avenge his previous humiliation.
When the two countries go to war again, if Zhao Shan has sense, he may not kill Wan Yan Ming, but he may vent his anger on him. If Zhao Shan was irrational, he might kill Wan Yanming, and he would definitely die.
In any case, his situation is very dangerous, which is why Lan Zang is unwilling to stay.
Lan Zang quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to stay, it's that I have to go back and report to the Prime Minister. Once I stay, Prime Minister Xiao will think that something has happened, and I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to tell you clearly."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said, "That's nothing. I will arrange for someone to notify Xiao Li."
"Inappropriate, inappropriate!"
Lan Zang quickly shook his head and explained: "Only if I go back and report the matter can Prime Minister Xiao be reassured. Your Majesty, you can arrange for someone to go back, but you can't win Prime Minister Xiao's trust."
Zhao Shan said regretfully: "I think you are quite interesting and talented, and I planned to keep you, but I didn't expect you to insist on leaving."
Lan Zang said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have conveyed the news and am ready to go back."
"Don't you want to see Wanyan Ming?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "When you, the monarch and your ministers meet each other, and the fellow countrymen meet the fellow countrymen, you will burst into tears. You should meet each other."
'No!'
Lan Zang said again, "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave."
"Go ahead."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and ordered.
He looked at Lan Zang's leaving figure with a smile on his lips. Xiao Li was worried about what he was thinking, so he specially arranged for someone to test and comfort him, but it was unnecessary to take off his pants and fart.
Zhao Shan arranged sentinels to keep an eye on the movements of the Jin army.
Entering the beginning of February, the spring breeze blows and everything revives. Although there is still a bit of a cold spring, it is much easier for the soldiers in the army.
On this day, Zhao Shan received news from the sentry that the Jin army entered Yunzhong County and was about to arrive at Yunzhong County.
Zhao Shan arranged his soldiers to prepare for the attack.
At the same time, Zhao Shan came to the entrance of the camp and waited. In less than half an hour, the Jin army arrived outside the camp.
Led by Prime Minister Xiao Li, there were also Yeluqing, Heshi Liezhou, Wugu Lunqin, Pu Chazheng and others.
Wanyan Yu and Tang Kuo'an stayed behind to take charge.
The 80,000-strong army brought by Xiao Li had strong soldiers and horses. The main force was cavalry, but the assistance was infantry. The army spread out and formed an array, fierce and murderous.
Xiao Li, wearing armor, rode his horse forward and said, "Zhao Shan, the money and horses from the Kingdom of Jin have been sent. Please release my lord first."
Zhao Shan said coldly: "I have to check the money and materials you sent, as well as all the war horses. You send the materials first and let me check them."
Xiao Li said in a deep voice: "Does your Majesty not trust our Kingdom of Jin?"
Zhao Shan said: "I really don't trust him."
Xiao Li felt happy when he saw that Zhao Shan did not believe him. The stronger Zhao Shan was, the easier it would be for conflicts to arise, and the more reasons he would have to start a war. In this way, he can feel confident even abandoning Wanyan Ming, and he does not need to bear the infamy.
Xiao Li said forcefully: "Emperor Zhao doesn't trust him, so I can only go to war."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "If you want to fight, I will fight. If I can capture you once, I can capture you a second time. Do you think that the Kingdom of Jin has mobilized a large number of troops to threaten me? That is a big mistake. So wrong!”
Xiao Li said regretfully: "Emperor Zhao is so stubborn, you can't blame me, drum roll!"
Boom!
The sound of war drums rang loudly, echoing on the battlefield.
Xiao Li said again: "The cavalry are in formation."
The cavalrymen from various ministries of the Jin Kingdom mounted their horses one after another and raised their swords. Under the spring sunshine, a sword exuded a cold light.
The cavalry that covered the sky was fierce.
It was as if dark clouds were pressing over the city.
Xiao Li reached this point, but still did not start a war immediately. Thinking about preserving his reputation, he continued to threaten: "Zhao Shan, release my master immediately, and we both return the supplies and hostages, otherwise I will start a war."
Zhao Shan sneered and said: "If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end. In fact, your Jin Kingdom has been preparing for such a long time, isn't it just that you want to go to war with me? Your Jin Kingdom has arranged people to invite Northern Wei and Xiliang to participate in the war?" What I want to tell you is that the Jin Kingdom’s rear is very empty!”
brush!
Xiao Li's expression changed drastically.
He was stroking his beard proudly just now, but now he suddenly pinched his beard tightly, because Zhao Shan's words seemed to imply the intention of raiding the rear of Jin Kingdom.
Xiao Li was nervous and said loudly: "Zhao Shan, what do you mean?"
