Chapter 282 This Time, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty Will Not Even Be Able to Ride in a Donkey Cart
"Swoosh!"
The slight sound of the wind woke up Xu Xin who was dreaming. He raised his hand to block, and saw Li Canghai's jade palm slap out again like lightning.
Xu Xin waved his left hand lightly, and Li Canghai's attack was dissolved in an instant. After blocking a move, he leaned his body and fought with Li Canghai.
Compared with the beauty's attack that did not threaten anything, it was her plump body that was looming in the fluttering of her small clothes that made people more excited.
"Hmph!"
Li Canghai saw that his attack was easily resolved by Xu Xin, and continued to attack fiercely. Soon, he was sweating profusely. Li Canghai, who was wearing small clothes all over his body, could not hide the extremely attractive curves of his body at all.
After Xu Xin had enough fun, he stretched out his hand and immediately controlled Li Canghai's vitals. He forcibly hugged the beauty who had lost the battle, and carried her into the cold bath. Not long after, white steam rose from the pool. The matter of internal force hot water was just a trivial matter!
"I won't let you succeed again!"
"Damn little thief!"
"Ah!"
"Little thief!"
Li Canghai seemed to be very resistant, but his body was obviously very cooperative. He just said that he was forced.
However, her martial arts talent and martial arts heart are indeed stronger than the three elders of Xiaoyao. Xu Xin and her comprehended "Xiaoyao Yufeng" together. She soon had a lot of experience and challenged Xu Xin several times.
Xu Xin naturally accepted the challenge. If he won, he would sleep, and if he lost, he would sleep again. Anyway, sleeping is good. In this way, Xu Xin made rapid progress.
Li Canghai practiced with Xu Xin every day. From the beginning, she couldn't let go and was quite ashamed and annoyed. Gradually, she got used to it. Sometimes she even took the initiative to grab someone's hand and put it on her body... But she still wanted to emphasize that someone forced her, but she was not hard except for her mouth.
In this way, the two innate masters continued to communicate and improve day and night, and Xu Xin benefited the most, because he had a deeper foundation and still occupied a dominant position.
Li Canghai challenged again and again, but found that she was less and less of Xu Xin's opponent. Now even if she used all her skills, she couldn't do anything to Xu Xin. After each duel with her, someone would have more and more means next time.
And not only in practice, but even in the bed curtain, there are all kinds of tricks to discipline her. Almost every time Li Canghai was exhausted, but Xu Xin was still full of energy, without any sign of fatigue. What about leaning against the wall to get out is just a joke!
"Hehe..."
Li Canghai was defeated again today, and was once again pulled into someone's arms. With a cry that seemed to be unwilling but also seemed to be in cooperation, a pair of delicate toes instantly straightened.
...
In the inner courtyard of the palace, two figures danced among the flowers. It was Xu Xin and Li Canghai who were fighting again.
Xu Xin was handsome and tall in a brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist and cloud boots on his feet. His temperament was particularly outstanding.
Li Canghai had a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance. When he turned and moved, it seemed as if the fairy Gushe had come to the world.
After a few moves this time, Xu Xin took action to restrain Li Canghai again.
Li Canghai did not resist, but just rolled his eyes. He thought that someone was going to play the game of the sky as a quilt, the ground as a bed, and the sky as a curtain and the ground as a mat.
"I will leave tomorrow, so you can go to the queen tonight!"
Xu Xin put his arm around Li Canghai's slender waist and calmly talked about some recent things.
The Liao Lord's southward march was basically confirmed. Zhao Xu actively responded to the war and prepared to lead the army in person. Naturally, there were many opponents at the beginning, but the young emperor insisted on going to war, and ordered the imperial army led by Zhou Tong to prepare for war, and ordered the arrest of many typical examples.
Civil officials can only be restricted when the emperor follows the rules. When they encounter an emperor who can accurately flip the table, they can only kneel down and talk.
The key to flipping the table is to find the target, not just flip the table. With the help of Xu Xin, Zhao Xu can accurately target some real tumors. After several rounds of the whole family's extermination process, the different voices in the court disappeared instantly.
The various departments of the court started to operate, raising food and grass to prepare troops and horses. There may be people who secretly make trouble or prepare to make trouble, but at least all the opponents in the open have disappeared.
…
A sharp and urgent horn sounded throughout the capital city of Bianliang. Today was the day when the northern expeditionary army would set out. A large army had already gathered outside Bianliang, and Emperor Zhao Xu went outside the city under the escort of the imperial guards.
This time, the Liao lord went south and the Song emperor went north. It was the first time in decades that the Song and Liao decided to fight head-on. Many people felt that the young emperor was too reckless. His stepmother and biological mother both advised him not to act recklessly, but Zhao Xu withstood the pressure.
In this battle, if he could return to the court victoriously, he would not even need to take back Yanyun. He only needed to fight until the Liao Kingdom withdrew its troops. Then Zhao Xu would be an emperor with military strategy, enough to establish his own imperial authority and negate all the mistakes of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao.
This was the fastest way to solve the problem of poor power transfer, so even if he knew there were risks, Zhao Xu had to fight.
Of course, he not only believed in Xu Xin, but also believed that the army of the Song Dynasty had not been so corrupt that it could not even defend the city. This time, his bottom line goal was to defend Yanmen and win a "big victory." As for retaking Yanyun, the slogans must be loud and clear, just for fun.
The mighty army set out, but there was some turmoil among the troops.
The Song Dynasty advocates strong trunk and weak branches, but in fact, the fighting power of the imperial army and the local wing troops is very weak, only the Western Army and some border troops are okay.
The integration training is fine on weekdays, which is strict and orderly, but once they are pulled into the field, various problems arise frequently. Fortunately, these problems can be solved. There are talents in the imperial army, such as Zhou Tong, who actually know a lot of things.
It's just that these people didn't have the opportunity to let go of their hands and feet to display their skills before. Now they have the opportunity to really use what they have learned. They may be a little unfamiliar at first, but after slowly running in, they can be considered proficient.
Moreover, the soldiers selected for the northern expedition this time are all in accordance with the standards of elite soldiers, and their foundation is not bad. It's just that at the beginning, "the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers", and they were not familiar with each other. Later, they gradually got better after getting familiar with each other.
After marching north for many days, the pace of the northern expedition army gradually became neat and looked elite, and the news from the Liao Dynasty in the north was also transmitted to the Song Dynasty faster.
Yelu Hongji has arrived in Yanjing and the army is also gathered outside Yanjing.
When Yelu Hongji heard that Emperor Zhao Xu dared to lead the army in person, he mocked him for being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. This time, the emperor of the Song Dynasty would not even be able to ride in a donkey cart.
When the news reached the Song Dynasty, the whole army was in an uproar. Zhao Xu was so angry that he almost drew his sword, but he held back in the end and just urged the army to speed up and rush to Yanmen Pass.
