Chapter 525: split up

   Da Zhou formally proposed a peace proposal to Jin Guo and Xixia. Jin Guo agreed after hesitating. He retreated the army three miles and stationed, and stared at Da Zhou's army, waiting for the arrival of the peace messenger.

They have been attacking for more than a month, and so far they have not been able to capture the next city or town. Instead, they have lost a lot of warriors, which can be said to be suffocated to death.

Compared with the situation of Xixia, Jin Guo was also a little flustered. Seeing how General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan were on guard, it was difficult for them to get a bargain. It would be better to settle a peace treaty with Xixia's offensive and ask for more year-old coins and silks. benefits like tea.

The Jin Kingdom is willing to stop the war, but Xixia is not willing. They have already occupied a lot of territory and invested a lot in this war.

They had the idea of ​​destroying Da Zhou, but they did not refuse, but temporarily delayed it on the grounds that they could not make the decision and needed to wait for the order of the king, but the attack was still to be attacked, and the city should be attacked. .

Da Zhou's courtiers and Emperor Jingyan were so angry that their teeth were itching, but they couldn't stop them. Da Zhou was very able to fight with each other, but he was stunned to attack the city. Can you tell him to come back? Will it be paid back?

But now the domestic troops are insufficient, Da Zhou can't deter Xixia at all, and can't stop them from their footsteps. In addition, Emperor Jingyan's main force is placed on domestic rebels, and for a while, Xixia is like a no-man's land. It's easy, with the Lu Xixia army, you can even take two cities in one day,

Although Emperor Jingyan was more afraid of rebels, he couldn't let Xixia attack the city like this, otherwise, when he suppressed the rebellion, Dazhou was also occupied by Xixia, what kind of emperor would he be?

Emperor Jingyan finally ordered the transfer of General Yuan's army of 100,000 and Qi Xiuyuan's army of 50,000, and divided them into two routes to block Xixia. Wan Dajun went straight down from the East Road, crossed Huainan West Road and went straight to Jinghu North Road to block the Xixia army.

Emperor Jingyan originally wanted to send generals directly from the DPRK to lead the army, but he gave up after thinking about it. Now is not the time to weaken the forces of General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan. It is better to let their people lead the army by themselves. Moreover, The DPRK really can't send actual generals, otherwise he wouldn't have used Qi Haoran at the beginning.

Qi Xiuyuan thought for a long time after receiving the holy will, and then called Rong Xuan to discuss it. After a while, he decided to send Mu Shi and Jiang Ze to lead the troops, Mu Shi to lead 20,000 troops, and Jiang Ze to lead 30,000 troops.

Only the five of them knew about what Qi Xiuyuan wanted to rebel, but Mu Shi and Jiang Ze didn't know it at all.

Jiang Ze had followed Qi Xiuyuan for a long time, and he naturally trusted him, but when it came to rebellion, things would be uncertain, so Qi Xiuyuan thought about it for a long time, and decided to hide the matter first and split the army into two. Ze just needs to stop the Xixia army wholeheartedly.

As for Mu Shi and Qi Mu’s two families, they were relatives by marriage. Qi Xiuyuan assumed that Mu Shi had already boarded the pirate ship, and decided to tell him the matter, so that he should pay attention to taking in refugees and recruiting troops when he fought back the Xixia army. their source of troops.

Qi Xiuyuan brought Mu Shi and talked for a long time in the study. When he left the Qi residence, he had no expression on his face, and rode home with his head down.

Jiang Ze only thought that Qi Xiuyuan was explaining to Mu Shi why he led less troops than him. Not on him.

Qi Xiuyuan was a little more convinced in his heart.

But when Mu Shi returned home, he was so angry that he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to scold his daughter. How could she hide such a big thing from him.

He is not very angry and anxious. Although he is not literate, he has a lot of experience because of his travels in the early years. In his opinion, Da Zhou was already shaky, and if he did it, he would do it. Anyway, his wife and children's family are in the north. In this area, this is Qi Xiuyuan's base camp. In the future, even if Qi Xiuyuan doesn't become emperor, their Mu family will be able to protect them, and the big deal will go back home to hunt.

But the daughter is different. When A Ling married Qi Haoran, they must have lived and died together. He could escape with his family, but he could not take A Ling. Besides, they were already detained before they turned against him. In the palace.

How could Mu Shi not be angry or nervous?

Shu Wanniang saw him come back angrily, so she went to the kitchen and made some small things for him, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Mu Shi put down the pen, put away the letter pretending not to care, and said, "The general sent me to lead the troops to resist the Xixia army, and then there will be a few of your mothers left at home. I am a little worried and want to call the watch. Brother cousin and sister-in-law come to live at home for a while, so they can take care of you."

Shu Wanniang smiled and said, "Bowen has been able to establish a household, why is it always bothering my cousin cousin?"

Shu Wanniang put the plate in front of him and sighed, "It's a mess outside, and I don't know if A Ling is doing well in the capital."

"Don't worry, that's where the emperor stays, and the safest place in the world is there."

Shu Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and laughed again, "You are right, the place where the emperor stayed is tightly guarded, and A Ling should be safe, otherwise I would really worry about her alone with her little grandson. The team is broken, and even Mr. Fan's workshop can't deliver the goods, otherwise I can ask them to bring some small clothes to our grandson."

The more Shu Wanniang spoke, the more melancholy she became. Her daughter was so young, so why did she have a child? It was as if A Ling was arguing about hanging on her husband's body and wanted to go hunting in the woods together, but in a blink of an eye, the family moved to Hanzhong Mansion. , A Ling married and had a child, and Bo Wen also grew into a young man.

Mu Shi saw that Shu Wanniang was in a trance, and knew that she was thinking wildly again. He quickly grabbed a book and suppressed the letter, and hugged her to comfort her.

And General Yuan also divided his troops into two groups, one was led by a general under his command, and the other was led by his eldest son Yuan Zhao, and they went south together.

As the eastern and western armies moved south, the progress of the Western Xia army slowed down a bit, but the offensive became more and more fierce. , the other party also failed to discuss.

The emperor was relieved to see this, and only then did he consider releasing the officials and family members from the palace.

Because they have lived in the palace long enough, if they stay, not only the courtiers will have opinions, but the people outside who are full and have nothing to do to stare at the royal family will also spit at him.

Fortunately, Qi Xiuyuan and General Yuan's troops have been reduced now, and they are restrained by the army of the Jin Kingdom. The emperor thinks that it is not impossible to let them out of the palace. Anyway, they are still in Lin'an City.

Therefore, although Mu Yangling and the others were able to leave the palace, their scope of activities was restricted. As long as they did not leave the city, they could go anywhere.

The reason is also very ready. In order to protect their safety, the Xixia soldiers in the front team who were going to assassinate them have been caught, but it is uncertain whether there are any fish that slipped through the net. In addition, Xixia has not yet determined whether other assassination teams have been sent, so In order to protect their safety, they could not leave the city, and there was also a circle of forbidden troops outside the mansion to protect them.
