Chapter 291

Xixia Kingdom, Weizhou.

Weizhou is located on the border between Xia and Zhou. It is an important military town. If you go all the way south from Weizhou, you can directly sweep Qinfeng Road in Dazhou.

And the Longyou area where Qinfeng Road is located has always been a strategically important place, because it guards the countries of Tubo, Xixia, Tatar, and the Western Regions.

At the same time, as the land of Longxing in the Li and Tang Dynasties, this place is rich in products, and it has always been a good place for the Xixia Kingdom to salivate.

In Weizhou City, at this time, more than 20 troops had already assembled.

The commander of the Baotai Army, Wu Zang Yepang, stood on the general platform, watching the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the audience, and his heart was full of excitement.

He is the "rear party" of the Xixia Kingdom. As the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xixia and the emperor's uncle, he became the actual general in charge of this attack on the Zhou Dynasty, and it was also the first time he led troops alone.

Da Zhou has never responded to Xixia's unreasonable demands, and neither agrees nor refuses. He just wants to delay like this, and also bets that Xixia will not dare to use troops.

As a result, the group of civil servants in Dazhou underestimated the impact of the drought on Xixia and Liao.

These two countries were originally nomadic people, they didn't do farming, and their food production was not high. Now with the drought, there is almost no harvest.

Unlike the Great Zhou Dynasty, the drought in the north, the big deal is to adjust the grain from the Jiangnan or Jinghu area, the price of the grain is more expensive, and it will not make people starve to death.

But Xixia is different from Liao. It is either in the ancient cold land or in the desert area. There is no staple food for eating beef and mutton every day, and no one can bear it.

Especially the Xixia Kingdom, the country was originally small, and the area it occupied was not a land of fish and rice. Life was already difficult. Now that the drought came, it was in danger of destroying the country.

Since Da Zhou refused to lend a helping hand, the Liao Kingdom would not be able to fight. The impatient Xixia people finally prepared to go crazy and go to grab it directly.

The smoke bombs released by the Xixia Kingdom were intended to attack Yan'an Mansion or Taiyuan Mansion, so a large number of Da Zhou's troops were also deployed there.

In fact, the Xixia Kingdom made a feint, and the target was very clear, that is the Longyou area, which made it difficult for Zhou's national defense to defend against.

After several rounds of army drums stopped, Wuzang Yepang yelled on the stage:
"Soldiers, now that our country is facing a drought that has never happened in a century, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother personally asked for help from the Zhou Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom. They originally hoped that they would help us, so that we Xia people have a way to survive, and our family members can survive.

But the Zhou people and the Liao Kingdom are ready to stand by and watch us Xia people starve to death. This kind of ruthless country is basically full of wolves, tigers and leopards. They all want our Xia country to destroy the country and our Xia people to perish.

Now, we only have to fight and fight. Since they won't give it, then we will get it ourselves, grab his mother's food, burn his mother's city, kill his mother's Zhou people, and then kill all the women of Zhou State. They all snatched our country of Xia and made them our slaves.

Soldiers, muster your courage, let the people of Zhou know how powerful our Xia soldiers are, and let them tremble when they see our Xia army, and they will no longer have the courage to look at us and become our slaves.

I, the commander of the Baotai Army did not hide my mistakes, and ordered you to set up camp immediately, attack with all your strength, kill, kill, kill! ! ! "

More than 20 Xixia soldiers also shouted in unison: Kill!kill!kill! ! !

The south gate of Weizhou was opened, and 20 troops filed out and headed south.

The whereabouts of the Xixia army was immediately discovered by the border guards, and the alarm was quickly sent to the Huaide army, Xi'an Prefecture, and Huizhou behind them.

For a time, the hundreds of miles of the border were full of smoke.

However, most of Dazhou's troops were deployed on the eastern front of Yan'an Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion. Although there were hundreds of thousands of regular troops stationed on the western front, except for a small half of the frontier troops, most of them were Xiang troops, and their combat effectiveness was worrying.

And the troops sent by the Xixia Kingdom this time are all the elites of the country. They are here to do their best.

Comparing the two, Zhou Guo suffered a lot.

So he ran to Bianliang City even if he asked for help.

This is really a serious misjudgment by the civil officials in the court, but it put the soldiers on the border to death.

It will take some time for the war on Qinfeng Road to reach Bianliang. There are no telephones or telegrams these days. It will take at least four days to deliver the 2000-mile journey, even if it is [-] miles urgently.

In the city of Bianliang, at this time, it is still running and dancing, and it is a scene of peace and prosperity.

In Baihualou.

At this time, Shui Ling was playing the pipa on the side of the small stage in the hall, accompanying the actors on the stage. Although she was no longer going to perform on stage, she still wanted to do something within her power.

Chen Buer told her to rest in peace and recuperate, but as a 16-year-old girl, how could she be locked in the room all day?That's not enough to make you sick.

So once I feel that my body has recovered a bit, I will return to my "work position".

After a serious illness, Shui Ling showed an even more sickly temperament at this time. Her fair face matched her beautiful face, which made Shui Ling look so pure and moving among the bewitching people in Baihualou. I feel pity.

Chen Bu'er is well aware of the truth of beauty's disaster, so when envoys from various countries came to Bianliang for the Longevity Festival, he kept asking Shui Ling not to perform on stage to prevent being targeted.

But some things can be hidden from the first day of junior high school, but they cannot be hidden from the fifteenth day.

Beside the lotus pond, Zhou Gaoxuan, the youngest son of Zhou Yucheng, the political adviser, was leaning on the railing, the paper fan in his hand was motionless, and his whole body seemed to be in a state of mind, motionless, his eyes shining brightly.

He has taken a fancy to Shui Ling.

Even if Shui Ling is hiding among a group of accompaniment actors at this time, no matter how some people hide or don't dress up, they stand out from the crowd and can be seen at a glance in the crowd.

But Mr. Zhou's taste is quite unique, he just likes "sick beauties", so he was immediately fascinated.

He called a Gui Gong over: "Then, who is that little lady? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Returning to the young master, her name is Shui Ling, but she is not the girl in the building, but just an ordinary young actress. What kind of girl does the young master like, I will help you introduce."

Gui Gong also saw a lot of clients who asked about Shui Ling, so he took it easy and introduced a few words casually, trying to change the topic.

"It doesn't matter whether he is a courtesan or a young actor, in this Baihualou, is there still a woman who can't be sold? Go, let me call for my servant."

But Zhou Gaoxuan is not willing to agree, his father is a political adviser, equivalent to the deputy prime minister of later generations, such a son of a high-ranking official and the youngest son in the family, he is naturally a willful person.

To put it simply, what he likes is what he must get.

In his outlook on life and cognition, are there still women who can't be bought with money these days?If not, then the money is not enough.
