The sound of "cuckoo" came, and Zhao Hongjun and his ministers were all stunned.
Cao Youwan smiled awkwardly, rubbed his belly, and apologized, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, get out, I'm going to rebel!"
"Second brother, don't make any mistakes in front of His Majesty!"
Cao Youwen's face was stern and he scolded his brother who didn't know how to be humble.
"Cao Youwan, I think you are probably starving in Xixia!"
Zhao Hong laughed loudly and stood up.
"Let's go out to eat and drink. I also want to have a few drinks!"
"Your Majesty, then you must be no match for Wei Chen!"
Cao You's eyebrows were dancing with joy and he followed closely.
Life is about eating and drinking. I was half starved to death in Xixia. I didn't eat a few mouthfuls before my brother pulled me in. I couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhao Hong left the barracks and saw Tian Yi and Wei Sisi standing furtively at the door of the barracks. The smile on his face froze.
Didn't Wei Sisi work as her medical officer in Mianzhou? Why did she come to Lanzhou on the bank of the Yellow River?
"Your Majesty, I...have something to do..."
Tian Yi looked at Fan Zhong and the others, then spoke hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report, please lend me a moment to speak!"
Wei Sisi said boldly, her face turned red, she was squirming, and she was a little embarrassed.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, I'm all ears!"
"Wei Sisi, you left the camp without permission without receiving military orders. Do you understand your crime?"
Cao Youwen, who was beside Zhao Hong, scolded him in a low voice.
Zhao Hong was slightly startled, feeling that Wei Sisi ran to Lanzhou City without Cao Youwen's military order.
"General Cao, I have something important to report to Your Majesty. Please don't take it offence."
When Cao You heard that he was very strict in running the army, Wei Sisi felt a sudden rush in her heart and said bravely.
"Needless to say! Let me guess, it's your marriage."
Zhao Hong looked at him, but Cao Youwen was speechless.
Not far away, the soldiers attending the banquet were watching. It seems that the emperor does not want the matter to escalate.
"Your Majesty, that's right!"
Tian Yi blushed as red as an apple and whispered back.
"Very good! The Tatar army has retreated, and there is no major incident. Just in time, you two are going to return to Lin'an City to get married. Today, I will be your witness in front of all the soldiers!"
Zhao Hong glanced at Cao Youwen, who looked gloomy, and laughed.
Needless to say, this revolutionary couple is going to stay together and fly together.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tian Yi and Wei Sisi smiled happily and saluted Zhao Hong together.
"Wei Sisi, I dealt with your brother-in-law An Gongxing because he violated the law and I had no choice but to do it. I hope you won't take this matter to heart and delay your own future."
I dealt with Wei Sisi's brother-in-law. These words were a kind of protection for Wei Sisi, especially for Tian Yi, to eliminate worries, sound the alarm, and protect her.
"Your Majesty, An Gongxing violated the national law and is an unforgivable heinous person. Your Majesty speaks so eloquently that there is no need to explain to me. My father is not angry with your Majesty, and neither will I."
Wei Sisi said with a red face.
Her resentment towards Zhao Hong seemed to have been eliminated at this moment.
Zhao Hong nodded and changed his smile.
"Let's go over together. I'll talk to you and give you a toast."
Zhao Hong was in front, followed by Tian Yi and others, and everyone walked out together.
"Your Majesty, I did not give in..."
Cao Youwen followed Zhao Hong and spoke softly. Zhao Hong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say any more.
There are some things that you know very well and don’t need to be said.
"Comrades, let's raise a toast to Tian Yi and Wei Sisi, two military couples. I wish them a long life together and always be united!"
Zhao Hong shouted loudly, and all the soldiers on the training ground raised their glasses together and shouted loudly in unison.
"May we grow old together and be united forever!"
Tian Yi and Wei Sisi were both blushing, and they toasted together. Tian Yi was smiling, and Wei Sisi was shy as she accepted everyone's blessings.
Zhao Hong looked at the happy two people with a faint look in his eyes.
Tian Yi is single. What is the situation of his uncle Zhou Ping?
"Your Majesty, I did not transfer Wei Sisi to Lanzhou. Your Majesty is aware of this. Your Majesty does not know what to do. Your Majesty forgives me!"
Amidst the applause of the troops, Cao Youwen whispered again to defend himself.
"Cao Youwen, there is no need to explain or take responsibility. I know that you are good at running the army and it has nothing to do with you. Afterwards, I will transfer Wei Sisi back to the southeast and give her a casual position."
It is not the behavior of soldiers to leave the army at every turn, and of course they cannot stay in the army.
Tian Yi was frightened when he saw Zhao Hong frowning slightly.
Wei Sisi, as the medical officer of Rongsi on Lizhou West Road, came to Lanzhou privately without being summoned, which can be said to be extremely audacious.
Leaving the camp privately is tantamount to escaping from the battlefield. Such defiance of military regulations will not be an exaggeration even if you are executed.
Zhao Hong's subtle expression said everything.
"Concubine Shu is here!"
The sergeant's voice sounded outside the camp gate. Everyone was stunned and looked towards the camp gate.
Zhao Hong was also slightly startled, raised his head, and looked at the camp entrance.
Li Weiming was not staying in Lin'an City, so why did he come to the northwest border?
Could it be that she always had doubts about sending troops to reinforce Xixia?
Li Weiming, who was elegant and elegant, with rich clothes and pearls on his head, walked in. All the troops in the teaching field stood in awe. Even the generals around Zhao Hong did not dare to neglect and saluted together.
"I've seen Concubine Shu!"
Concubine Shu, why did you come to Shukou border fortress?
"Concubine Shu, why are you here? I will send someone to pick you up."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and said softly.
Li Weiming is tall and elegant. Beautiful women are always pleasing to the eye and look good when taken out.
"I have met Your Majesty!"
Li Weiming saluted and spoke loudly under the gaze of all the soldiers.
"I congratulate your majesty on acquiring the land west of Hexi, congratulations to the Song Dynasty, and congratulations to your majesty!"
The generals in the hall looked at each other, and Zhao Hong was also slightly startled.
Li Weiming, is this the time to raise an army to investigate?
"Shu Fei, the land west of Hexi is now Daruhuachi, which is occupied by the Mongolian army. It is not under the rule of Daxia or the Song Dynasty? If you must congratulate me, you should wait for the triumphant return of the king of the Song Dynasty who reinforced Daxia! "
Zhao Hong laughed and stood up.
There was something in Li Weiming's words. Even if it was a complaint, the soldiers could not tell it, but Zhao Hong knew it well.
The love for the motherland is deep, and no one is immune to it. But he didn't know how the news that he wanted to use troops to invade Hexi reached Li Weiming's ears?
Also, Li Weiming traveled thousands of miles to the northwest frontier. Was it her own idea, or was it someone else's deliberate decision?
"Your Majesty, the army of the King of the Song Dynasty is ready, and it is easy to defeat the Tatar army. One hundred thousand warriors, taking the dilapidated Hexi is like searching for something. I congratulate the Song Dynasty first! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Li Weiming looked at Zhao Hong with mixed feelings.
Zhao Hong's heart suddenly tightened.
Li Weiming, his concubine, is she openly questioning him?
"Soldiers, you can do whatever you want. I'm too drunk to drink, so I'll take my leave first!"
Zhao Hong was in front. After Li Weiming left, he turned and entered the barracks.
"Congratulations to your majesty! Congratulations to the empress!"
Watching Zhao Hong and Li Weiming leave, all the generals saluted and sent them off respectfully.
"Brother, why is Concubine Shu here?"
Everyone sat down again, and Cao Youwan asked curiously.
"What else could it be? We have a deep love for our country, so I don't trust Your Majesty!"
Cao Youwen smiled slightly, holding the wine glass, thoughtfully.
Yu Jie, who was sitting next to him, shook his head and pretended to sigh.
"Your Majesty's good days may come to an end!"
"General Yu, your majesty is the lord of the world. His power is unpredictable. Be careful what you say and drink."
Fan Zhong raised his wine glass and said something leisurely.
"Xianggong Fan, please!"
Yu Jie was startled, quickly picked up the wine glass, and said seriously.
In fact, compared to before, his cynicism has been greatly restrained. He just made a mistake occasionally and cannot change it.
The two entered the barracks, Zhao Hong sat down, and Li Weiming stepped forward to salute.
"Your Majesty, I have embarrassed you."
"Princess, why are you doing this?"
Zhao Hong's face sank slightly, but soon regained his composure.
If you have no feelings for your hometown or your motherland, how can you be a good beast?
What reason does he have to blame a patriotic woman?
"Princess, I originally planned to explain to you what happened in Hexi when I go back. Now that you are here, I won't hide it. You can sit down."
"Your Majesty, please speak. I am all ears."
Li Weiming looked calm and sat down on the chair opposite.
"Princess, I want to ask you, if the Song army does not occupy Hexi, can the Xia people themselves recover?"
Zhao Hong went straight to the point without hiding anything.
Li Weiming was speechless for a moment and could not speak.
Xixia itself can't protect itself, and even if it can't avoid the Mongolian army, it still has energy, so it dares to regain Hexi.
"Princess, let me ask you again, if the Tatar army comes again, can the Xingling area be defended by Daxia alone?"
Zhao Hong continued to ask, without any politeness.
"What do you mean by these words, Your Majesty?"
Li Weiming looked sad and asked softly.
When Zhao Hong said this, doesn't it mean that Daxia has been destroyed?
"The Tatar army has withdrawn, and there are only three to four hundred thousand people left in Xingling. In Xingling alone, there are not enough soldiers and people to guard the city and cultivate the land, let alone take care of Hexi."
Zhao Hong looked at Li Weiming and spoke earnestly.
"Princess, everything in Hexi is in ruins. There are only tens of thousands of Xia people, and there are hundreds of miles of uninhabited areas. The king of the Song Dynasty entered Hexi not to enjoy happiness, but to rebuild Hexi, restore production, and prosper all industries. Don't forget, the surrounding areas of Hexi , but they are all the territory of the Tatar army. If the Song army does not enter Hexi, the Tatar army will continue to encircle Xingling Land from the northwest and east. Are you willing to see it? "
"Your Majesty, you are so eloquent and talk so brilliantly that I am no match for you. I just want to know, after the Tatar army retreats, will you return Hexi to Daxia?"
Li Weiming didn't seem to appreciate Zhao Hong's wonderful speech.
Why did the Song people occupy the territory of Xixia?
"Princess, I still say what I said. Can you hold on to returning Hexi to the Xia people? There are only four to five hundred thousand people left, and there is only a place for spiritual prosperity. You are welcome to say that your Daxia is dead! "
Zhao Hong is rude and murderous.
"Speaking of which, do you think it will be difficult for the Tatar army to defeat a small area with three to four hundred thousand people, two cities, and twenty or thirty fortresses?"
The population of Sichuan alone is equivalent to forty or fifty places of prosperity. There is only an area about the size of a palm left, not even a big county. How is it different from the subjugation of the country?
Smooth tongue! Return to Hexi!
Zhao Hong was stunned for a while! Li Weiming, his concubine, what are you talking about?
He seemed to have woken up. Li Weiming is his concubine, but she is also a Xixia princess, a pure Xia person.
