The autumn of Kaifeng is very cool.

Everything is depressed, yellow leaves are spread on the ground, a cold wind blows, and the dead leaves swirl across the courtyard of the Tang family's small building.

Cao Tong stood in front of the hall, his temples were white, and he looked a little desolate in response to the bleak autumn wind.

glanced at Pan Feng, who was older than himself, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's another autumn and winter, and you and I are a year older." ”

Pan Feng sighed, glanced at the old locust tree in the center of the courtyard with only dry branches, and said in a loud voice: "This tree seems to have been moved from the back mountain when Guanlan was first established, right?" ”

"I remember that it was only a few feet thick back then, and now it is also an old tree."

laughed at himself, and pointed to Tang Yi, who was saying goodbye to a few children in the hall, "Only this guy is not old!" ”

Tang Yi is good at health preservation, don't look at it, he is nearly forty years old, but except for the beard that has grown a little, he is still twenty or thirty years old, which makes Pan Feng, who is almost sixty, envious.

When Cao Tong heard this, he turned around and looked at Tang Yi, "It's also old......

"The eyes are old."

......

————————

His face is not old, but he can't hide the vicissitudes in his eyes, Tang Zihao, who is not afraid of heaven and earth and can always give people hope, has gone through ups and downs, but he can never return to the young man he once was.

At this moment, Tang Yi is like an old woman who can never stop nagging, telling a few little madmen who are about to go away over and over again.

"Don't think that if you don't have Lao Tzu's side, you can't control you, everything is up to your Uncle Heizi. Go and go back quickly, it's not easy to walk on the winter road. ”

"Also, the people of the Northwest are strong, don't put on the shelf of Young Master Jing, go early and ...... early"

"Alright!"

Jun Xinzhuo couldn't stand it anymore, and pointed to the sky, "It's noon after a while, and you won't let the children go?" ”

Tang Yu was also impatient for a long time, and when Jun Niangniang spoke, she naturally wanted to tease her father twice: "Dad, don't worry!" ”

"This time, the four of us brothers and sisters will go out together, and we will definitely bring the little lady back to you."

Tang Yi was speechless by his wife and children, his face was embarrassed, and he glanced at Tang Yu, "You talk a lot!" ”

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Tang Yin, "If your mother refuses to see you, she will hand this letter in." ”

"What's written?" Tang Yiyin is also a "bastard" enough, seeing that there is no seal, curiosity is troubled, so he directly shook the envelope and opened it.

Tang Yi was in a hurry, and his face turned red, "You are a rebel, who let you...."

It was too late to stop it, Tang Yin not only watched it, but Tang Yu, who was even more bastard, came over and read it out loud.

"Thirteen years ago, a song by the river is still ...... in my heart"

Tang Yu only read one sentence, then flipped the letter over and over again, and then shook the letter paper and looked at his father speechlessly:

"Gone?"

"Dad, you're too insincere, aren't you?"

Tang Yi was so angry, he went up and grabbed the letterhead, put it back in the envelope, and hurriedly stuffed it into Tang Yin's arms.

Only then did he yell at Tang Yu angrily, "Little child, what do you know!?" ”

"Good, good." Tang Yu was happy, as if she was happy when she saw her father eating deflated. "If you don't understand, you don't understand, let's go!"

As he spoke, he greeted Tang Yin, Tang Feng, and Tang Song and ran out happily, and Zhao Zongqi, Fan Zhengping, and Qi Shengze at the bottom of the mountain had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at the few children who were happy because they went out for the first time and even forgot to talk to their mothers, Tang Yi smiled helplessly and said to Heizi: "Don't be reluctant, I'll leave it to you, strictly discipline!" ”

Kuroko Dale, "Don't worry, Dalang, there is me!" ”

"Hmm." Tang Yi nodded and looked at Jun Xinzhuo and the others. "You go and send it, I won't go."

Jun Xinzhuo nodded and chased the children out of the hall, but Xiao Qiaoge and Fukang were not in a hurry.

When he came to Tang Yi's side, Brother Xiao Qiao's face was playful, "If the little sister remembers correctly, thirteen years ago, it was the year we went south to Yazhou, right?" ”

"A song by the river...... Sister Xiangnu seems to be playing "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"? ”

"Tut-tut." Brother Qiao smashed his mouth, quite tasteful. "Still in my mind..."

Tang Yi was speechless, "Old husband and wife, what kind of vinegar do you eat?" ”

Brother Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Who is jealous?" ”

"It's just that the old husband and wife have been playing the piano for more than ten years, and the little sister is always playing the piano, but I don't see anyone still in my heart!"

"Alright, alright." Fukang on the side couldn't see Tang Yi's embarrassment, and pulled Brother Qiao. "You won't see Xiaotang for months, why don't you deliver it?"

"Humph!" Brother Xiao Qiao snorted lightly. "Don't bother to bother with him, let's go."

Tang Yi was like being amnestied, and secretly handed over a grateful look and Fukang, and then playfully waved at Brother Qiao, "Congratulations to the lady!" ”

"Lady is good to go!"

"The lady doesn't send it!"

Brother Xiao Qiao glared at Tang Yi, "People who are dozens of years old, they are not serious!" ”

Ignore him and chase after the children.

......

When only Tang Yi, Uncle Cao Guo and Pan Feng were left in the hall, Pan Feng's strange tone also came at the right time, "I have seen it for a long time, some people are getting thicker and thicker, and they don't betray people when they flirt and scold." ”

saw Tang Yi slowly straighten up, his expression disappeared, and he returned to seriousness.

"Get down to business."

Pan Feng was stunned, and became serious.

"As Da Lang expected, Da Liao has moved."

Cao Tong continued: "In the past half a month, we have used all the dark lines in Liaojing, and after the news is summarized, it will be sent to Youzhou in the morning. ”

As he spoke, he handed Tang Yi two secret letters, "One is from Di Shuai's telegram back to Beijing, and the other is from the Yunzhou Tuji Taibu last night, take a look." ”

Tang Yi took it and unfolded it to take a look:

Four months ago, Yelu Hongji secretly sent the Northern Mansion Zaizhi to mobilize six Khitan troops and horses to assemble, together with the royal family's leather army and 100,000 Tiefutu out of Dading and disappeared into Mobei.

At this time, the Dading military camp was empty.

This is also confirmed in another secret letter from Tujitai, where Yeluhong personally commanded an army of 300,000 and marched west through Yunzhou.

Pan Feng obviously read the secret letter, and his face hurt, "This Yelu Hongji is really fucking premeditated." ”

"He wants to leave aside the Great Song Dynasty and the Seljuks and tear up the Eastern Rome!"

With a big mouth, "It's just that I don't understand, Khitan eight, why did he only transfer six, and only threw down the two parts of Tujitai and Naziye?" ”

"Could it be.... Yelu Hongji knows that these two are involved in the Great Song Dynasty, and he is afraid that the news will leak out? ”

When Tang Yi heard this, his eyes were deep! , muttered, "You guessed half right." ”

Pan Feng was curious, "Which half?"

It's a pity that Tang Yi didn't have the heart to answer him, and asked rhetorically: "Is there any news in Daliao Zezhou?" ”

"Nope." Cao Tong shook his head. "300,000 defenders in Zezhou, stand still!"

For fear of misleading Tang Yi, he said: "This is not unusual, the 300,000 Liao soldiers are guarding against the Great Song Dynasty, and he doesn't dare to move." ”

"Hmm." Tang Yi agreed. "Where is the Yazhou Army?"

"It's been as Zihao ordered, board the ship and stand by."

"Boarding the ship...."Tang Yi paced slowly, groaning.

"Which half?" Pan Feng was still unwilling and asked again.

But Tang Yi was immersed in thinking and still didn't answer, and even Cao Tong didn't have the heart to grind his teeth with him, staring at Tang Yi without blinking.

Cao Guo knew very well that the time had come to decide the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty.

......

After a full half an hour, Tang Yi finally stopped suddenly, the focus of his eyes changed again and again, and finally roared from the depths of his throat:

"Telegraph to the Yazhou Army, pull the anchor, and set sail!"

"Target Eastern Rome!"

"Zihao!!" When Uncle Cao Guo heard this, he almost blurted out, and his voice trembled.

"Don't you need to be more cautious?"

Tang Yi still didn't answer, just shook his head slightly.

......

——————————

Meanwhile.

The iron cavalry of the Seljuk Empire had already defected in Asia Minor, and the Great Sultan Malekshah personally supervised the battle, striving to occupy Asia Minor in the shortest possible time, and the army was directed towards Constantinople.

Shah knew very well that under the situation of the Great Liao plundering Central Asia and the Great Song Dynasty choking Mediterranean commerce, only by appropriating the wealth of Eastern Rome for himself could Seljuk have the ability to compete for a place in the world dominated by the two great powers in the East.

As the second most powerful country in the world, Yelu Hongji was dressed in military uniform, crossed his horse and raised his sword, and galloped in the vast sea of sand.

On its left and right, the 600,000 Liao army armor was bright and mighty.

"Your Majesty!"

The Liao general next to him stepped forward and reported, "The army has been 800 miles out of Yunzhou, but it still can't be sluggish, and it must step up the march." ”

"Otherwise, you won't be able to climb the snowy mountains before the snow falls, so you can only wait for the spring of next year."

When Yelu Hongji heard this, he answered absentmindedly, pulled the reins of his horse, turned his horse to look back to the east, and stopped.

muttered in a daze: "Tang Zihao.... By this time, you should know to slow me down, right? ”

"Hurry up and get moving, don't let me down!"

His eyes froze, "Spread my will, set up camp, and reorganize the army!" ”

......

————————————

Eastern Rome, the last piece of land in Europe that was not touched by Sinology, became the last piece of fat on the map of mountains and rivers at this time.

The sky collapsed in the evening, and in the moment of thunder, the heavens abandoned the land, as if the whole world was going to be its enemy.

The kingdom of West Sax, under the leadership of Edward II, poured out. The old king Edward stood at the head of the city and personally sent off the warriors of the West Saxacles.

A sloppy scribe proudly stood by his side, "This expedition to Eastern Rome is not so much about the remnants of the church as it is about the well-being of the European people." ”

"yes!"

Edward let out a long sigh, his words agreeing, but his tone was not so happy.

The fall of Eastern Rome was already a foregone conclusion, and when the time came, looking at Europe, except for Western Saks, all other lands belonged to Han land.

And how did Sisacacs deal with himself?

"This is not only the well-being of the people, but also the ......"

"The name of the West Saks!"

Edward is a smart man, and instead of waiting to turn against the Great Song Dynasty, it is better to have a good time.

......

turned to the scribe, but he made a long bow to the Han court, "For the sake of the people, when the time comes, I hope that Jiefu will fight for one or two more for West Sakx in the court!" ”

"Where does that start?" Wang Anshi looked surprised.

But what the hell is the "indifferent" return gift?

Lao Wang also pretended to continue: "Your Majesty rest assured...."

"The Great Song Dynasty has always been generous and kind, even if in the future, only one country in Europe, Xisacx, will have different intentions with the Song Dynasty, but for the sake of friendship from generation to generation, the Great Song Dynasty will not bully the small with the big, what will happen to the West Saks."

It's comforting, but why does it sound so awkward?

And that's what Edward is afraid of, especially now that he is alive and Tang Zihao is alive, the Great Song Dynasty will not do anything to West Saks, so what if I die? Tang Yi also hung up?

I don't know if one day, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty saw that there was a piece on the map that was not the same color as the Great Song Dynasty, and he was upset, so he swallowed Xisacks with a sigh.

When the time comes, it will cause the descendants to suffer from the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species.

Long to the ground, respectful.

"Jiefu must not say this again, I Xisacx will return to the Song Dynasty, and I hope that Jiefu will be fulfilled!"

"This...."Wang Anshi hesitated. Your Majesty has thought about it? ”

"You've figured it out!"

"No regrets?"

"No regrets!"

"It's not that the Great Song Dynasty is scheming to forcibly occupy your country!"

"No!!"

"Oh well...."

Wang Anshi showed a big smile, "Anshi tried his best to help." ”

“.....”

If Tang Yi was here, he would have goosebumps all over the place, Wang Tianzhen was not a layman after all, and he would fool wherever he went.

It is estimated that Tang Yi can't understand how he fooled old Edward into this bear.
