Yu Jing was very worried that Yun Zheng would make mistakes in this process of contacting foreigners. As the son of the great Confucian scholar, Zhong Shiheng had to rely on the premise of keeping trust in dealing with the Qiang people in order to carry out the rest. Yun Zheng's private reception of foreign vassals was a very taboo thing that the court had.

As the highest military and local commander of Guangyuan Prefecture, he had to be cautious.

On the one hand, the Wu Shengjun is actively preparing for the march to Jiaozhi, and on the other hand, the Wu Shengjun is also attacking the remnants of Nong Zhigao in Guangyuanzhou. As the grandmother of Anon, if he cannot catch it, there will still be hidden dangers.

Malaria, a terrible disease, is spreading in Guangyuanzhou. Yun Zheng thought that as long as the weather was a little colder and the mosquitoes completely disappeared, the disease would slowly disappear. Unfortunately, things went against their wishes. Many villages of Liaoren became empty dead land. All the remaining living people crawled into the mountains and asked for help from their god Brotartar. I don’t know if this would escape.

The army of the Prince of Jiaozhi had actually arrived at the border of Guangyuan Prefecture. The commander was Li Rizun, the prince of the Prince of Jiaozhi. He was very willing to accept Guangyuan Prefecture after Nong Zhigao's death. He had always done this.

Hearing that the Song army was chasing Nong Zhigao at the end of the way, he changed his strategy and did not continue to march into Guangyuan Prefecture. Instead, he gave Nong Zhigao the greatest support. From military equipment to food, he even thoughtfully told the Lord of the Wuying Cave to bring the war elephant to help Nong Zhigao fight.

If Nong Zhigao and the Song Dynasty were both defeated, it was his favorite scene. After Nong Zhigao was defeated, his 20,000 army should have advanced into Wuchao City. It was a pity that a heavy rain forced him to stop his own pace. After the heavy rain ended, he had only walked a hundred miles forward. He heard about the legend of the plague. In panic, he hurriedly fled back to the original territory of Jiaozhi and ordered the army to defend the pass without any staff entering Jiaozhi.

As the plague spread further, the news in Guangyuanzhou was also cut off. In his opinion, the Song army must have suffered heavy injuries at this moment. As the future king of Jiaozhi Kingdom, he has always been known for his long-term vision.

In his opinion, the war between the Song Dynasty and Nong Zhigao. Regardless of the outcome, both sides will pay a heavy price. After experiencing a terrifying and desperate plague, the only Jiaozhi who was not harassed by the plague should be the biggest winner of the war. Guangyuanzhou, which was originally a governed state of Jiaozhi, should return to the direct rule of Jiaozhi, and the tired Song people must also pay the corresponding price to calm the anger of the prince of Jiaozhi.

Therefore, 20,000 Jiaozhi elites quickly turned into 50,000. The support from Shenglong Mansion was endless. All he could do now was to wait for the plague to pass. As long as the plague passed, the Jiaozhi army should walk again along the pace of Nong Zhigao's invasion again. The reasons were all ready-made. The Prince of Jiaozhi was unreasonably killed by the Song army.

Di Qing looked at the Marble City County opposite the Temo Road and smiled at Yang Wenguang: "Gao Zhisheng is ready for battle. Shicheng County is now full of troops. Look at the opposite Luoyi River, there are probably no less than thirty flags there, which means that Gao Zhisheng has gathered at least thirty tribes to fight us."

Yang Wenguang laughed and said, "Duan Silian did not give him the right to truly go to war with the Song Dynasty, or this was a way out that Gao Zhisheng found for himself."

Ru Jing Deputy Envoy Jia Kui never speaks easily. Now that he sees the confrontation between the two armies has become a foregone conclusion, he said: "The 30,000 army is now going to capture 70,000 or 80,000 people on the opposite side, and also goes north to capture Shicheng County. Huichuan Prefecture and Dongchuan County, and finally completely capture Jianchang Prefecture. I wonder if the soldiers can survive such a high-intensity battle?

Furthermore, Rong asked casually, can’t we really look back? Yun Zheng has no problem living in the plague zone. Can’t we go back?”

Zhang Yu grinned and said, "Go back? How is this possible? Don't say that there is a plague behind it. Even without the plague, we can't turn back. The soldiers' hearts have been stirred up. We need military achievements and soldiers need money. All of this needs to be collected from Dali Kingdom. If you look back now, how can you tell me to those soldiers who have already been ready to go?"

Sun Jie, deputy envoy of the Zuozangku of Xijing, whispered: "We have won a great victory this time. News came from Yun Zheng that Nong Zhigao has been awarded the title. If we return to Beijing, we will naturally have countless rewards, and the merciful official will definitely not be careless about the soldiers."

Ma Jinhu said in a muffled voice: "The general has never felt the pleasure of breaking into the enemy country. I once had it. Now I still tremble when I think about it. I would rather die than try the feeling that I will never forget again!

It was because Yun Zheng had tried it in Xixia that he deliberately wanted to enter Jiaozhi. The generals were sure that this time he was much stronger than when he was in Xixia, and the battle situation in Jiaozhi would definitely be even more tragic.

You all, just think about it and you will understand that when you arrive at the enemy country, all the etiquette and laws are gone. Only the weapons in your hands and the partners around you are the most solid support. You don’t have to consider the impeachment of the censors, or the criticism of the historians. As long as you obey the military orders, you can do whatever you want!"

Di Qing looked at Ma Jinhu strangely and said, "Did the Hu people in your blood have exploded? What does it mean to be arbitrary Huwei? If you enter Dali Kingdom, you dare to give me a try!

It is necessary to enter the enemy country to kill and intimidate. I am curious about what else you plan to do? Yun Zheng’s military camp is a ban, and “Jianyin” are the two bans. Do you think I can tolerate it in my military camp?”

Ma Jinhu, who was so passionate about what he said just now, immediately bowed his guilt with a red face, closed his mouth tightly, and stopped saying a single extra word, only muttering in his heart, it would be impossible for honest people to tell the truth.

When Di Qing saw Ma Jinhu shut up, he pointed to Gao Zhisheng's Yingpan opposite Luoyi River and said, "Wuchao City has become an epidemic area. I will never take the risk of going back. Yun Zheng is a strange person. I heard that he is an alien. It is not surprising that some epidemic prevention methods that we don't know are, our road is right ahead.

The troops in Gao Zhisheng's hand are actually the forces of the three eastern counties of Dali. As long as we chisel open this hard shell, wouldn't we just let the plump and tender flesh inside be allowed to feast on it?

Hahaha, to be honest, if the 70,000 to 80,000 people on the opposite side were Xixia soldiers, I would definitely lead everyone to defend the camp and would never take such a risk. If the 70,000 soldiers on the opposite side were Khitan soldiers, I would find a way to find their weakness and win with one blow.

Hahaha, now we are facing the Dali army. This is a good time for us to make achievements. Yun Zheng swallowed Nong Zhigao's wealth in one bite and told me that we had one of them.

Bah! I brought the great soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Can't I benefit my subordinates? Jianchang Prefecture has always been known as the Xiaotian Prefecture, and it is also the key pass for the Great Song Dynasty, Dali, and even the Tubo trade. Gao Zhisheng was able to compete with Duan Silian for many years with the wealth of Jianchang Prefecture without losing weight. Now, I want to include Jianchang Prefecture in the territory of the Song Dynasty. What do you think?"

Jia Kui bowed and said, "If the king is involved in life and death, since the general wants to expand territory for the Song Dynasty, the subordinates will definitely follow each other in life and death!"

Seeing that the opinions of Jia Kui and Sun Jie had been unified, Di Qing took out a document from his sleeve and said, "This is my secret memorial to Your Majesty. Look at it. This Northern Expedition was my strong suggestion and had nothing to do with you. If there is any trouble, Di Qing will just apologize for his death..."

At this time, Jia Kui and Sun Jie were relieved. No matter how the war was, they would not be in trouble. If they could see His Majesty’s receipt at this time, it would definitely be even more wonderful.

The upper reaches of Luoyi River is the Fuyuan River. This river not only splits the mountains of Dali Kingdom, but the most rare thing is to create a rare plain in Jianchang Prefecture. This place was originally a wilderness with no three feet flat and no sunny days. A five feet road turned it into the most prosperous place in Dali Kingdom.

If you walk east along Wuchi Road, you will sooner or later you will walk to a small place called Dousha County. This is Yun Zheng's second hometown. Dousha Village will always be shrouded in a faint blue mist in the cold winter.

The old patriarch pounded his chest with his fist, coughed violently, walked out of the blue mist, came to the tiled house of Yun Zheng's house, and carefully checked it, but he didn't find anything wrong there, so he returned to his tiled house with his hands behind his back, admired for a while before pushing open the door and walking in.

The tiled house is much warmer than the bamboo house. A simple honeycomb coal stove has a small copper pot, and the copper pot is cooked with rice wine. Although the good wine sent by Yun Zheng and Cang'er is still there, the old patriarch prefers to drink a sip of hot rice wine on a hot day in a cold weather.

The old woman was not lucky and died last month. After so many years of wealth, she could still die because she couldn't eat too much. This way of death made the old patriarch unable to tell Yun Zheng and Cang'er.

"It's embarrassing!" The old patriarch took a sip and cursed.

The old patriarch took a sip of rice wine and breathed in satisfaction. He took a knife from the bacon strip hanging on the beam, cut off a thin piece of it, put it on the fire, and roasted it. The hot coal stove was very hot, and the coal smoke was discharged with the air outlet specially left on the roof. Some yellow flames licked the meat stick in the old patriarch's hand. In a short while, the grease in the bacon was roasted out by the fire, and the grease squeaked the bacon, and the aroma in the room was filled with fragrance...

"It's embarrassing!" Seeing that the bacon had been roasted, the old patriarch took a bite and scolded the old woman's spiritual position. There had never been any spiritual card at home before. Since a spiritual card from the ancestor of the Yun family appeared in Yun Zheng's family, the old patriarch's family had an additional spiritual card from the ancestor of the Cang family, and now there was another one.
