In the deep winter, snow dances in the mountains.

In the alley of Taiyuan Prefecture on Daqihe East Road, a small winery was burning warmly, and the guests were filled with wine and chatting.

There is a lot of coal in Hedong. Since the late Tang Dynasty, a talented man reformed tar extraction and allowed coal to enter thousands of households. The charcoal seller mentioned in Bai Juyi's poem has almost disappeared.

Especially the coal mines in Hedong are everywhere, which is one of the reasons why Hedong families are numerous, and they have mines at home.

At this moment, there are no traces of last month's riots in Taiyuan Prefecture City. The people in the city are still living their lives as usual. Those who fled from the border areas have also been settled by relatives and friends.

Even though there were no relatives and friends, Yangqu County also organized many temples and temples to take refugees down, and distributed firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar every day, as well as a mouthful of beans and vegetables worth a few dollars a day.

Li Xin had long pushed the front line through Taiyuan. In the heart of the Jiang family, Longmen Mountain attacked him back and forth, breaking Jiang Chucai's muscles and bones, destroying almost all important fortresses, and putting the efforts of the Jiang family over a hundred years into vain.

There is no absolute thing in the world. Winning a battle is a good thing, but unexpectedly it has caused more serious consequences.

Jiang Chucai saw that he had no chance to rise again, so he gave up and completely turned to Mongolia.

When Hebule mentioned Li Xinlai, he felt so angry that his teeth were itchy. This time he seized the opportunity and sent his subordinates to Hedonglai from the snowy and snowy grasslands.

He was originally defeated in Datong Prefecture, but he saw that there was no hope of going south, so he was determined to change his strategy and take the Khitan first.

In this way, the cave in Hedong opened, just like a pie falling from the sky? Hebule immediately repaired the Khitan.

While the Khitan ruler and ministers breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't expect that they would lose their lips and teeth were cold, and they just wanted to celebrate each other. They really hoped to lead the Mongols to the south? Let them harm the Han people and not attack the Khitan.

The Mongols entered Hedong? But whether it was the Shun people of the Jiang family or the people of the Daqi? They first let go of their hands and feet and robbed them.

So countless refugees fled from borders and even Yunnei to Taiyuan.

The thousands of refugees set up tents and took out their nests. The refugees live with them? The Taiyuan Prefecture distributes grain, rice, firewood, charcoal every day.

Some of them were destroyed by the Mongols? Some were homeless by the White Lotus Sect. Taiyuan Prefecture had no choice but to seek help from the court. Chen Shou took the opportunity to send people to Taiyuan, and the troops sent by him were managed and relieved these refugees.

As the New Year approaches? The people of Taiyuan Prefecture are all watching the actions of the court.

To be honest, they are already very satisfied. The court is much more responsible than in previous years.

If the court does more things, its credibility will increase? There are few people in the restaurant who express dissatisfaction with the court.

However, the Jiang family in Longmenshan? Because of collusion with Mongolia and the White Lotus Sect? It has become the target of public criticism. Nine out of ten tables were scolding them.

One of the guests had a scar on their face and drank with their heads down. He was the only one on the table, but he ordered a lot of dishes.

His eyes were sinister, and he squeezed a piece of cooked meat and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he thought to himself that when he broke all his brothers in Bianliang last time, the White Lotus Sect would definitely not tolerate it. The government has made too deep grudges and there is no way out to surrender. It is better to go to the Mongolians.

Seeing that the Great Qi country was in danger, if the Mongols rose in the future, they could make a name for themselves.

It turned out that he was Fang Xu who escaped when Gao Huan arrested Su Li that day. In order to escape, he deliberately killed dozens of accomplices, including Su Li, an important figure in the church.

After escaping that day, I didn't expect to come to Hedong. Such people often commit crimes, fearing that they would go to peaceful places and like this kind of troubled times the most.

In the chaotic times, the government has no time to take care of ordinary criminals. Their sins are easily not pursued and may even make them prosperous.

Kaifeng, Bianliang.

A small courtyard seemed out of place with other courtyards, and both sides were locked.

In the room in the yard, the north wind was shouting to the sky and the earth, but the room was baked very warm by two basins of charcoal fires.

Chen Shou sat on a thick velvet chair, on the carpet under his feet, raising the pretty face of a mature and charming woman. The woman's temples were a little messy, and her rosy face was round and smooth. She was also a beauty outside.

Her eyes were covered with a piece of red cloth, she bit a whip in her mouth, a leather hood tied around her neck, and was tied to Chen Shou's chair. She had a red rope around her neck, a bellyband, and a underwear on her lower body, and she didn't wear anything else.

The thin shirt on her body had signs of being beaten, and it looked not very heavy. The woman dared not speak and knelt at Chen Shou's feet gently.

Suddenly, the buttocks were twisted, and Su Li frowned and did not scream, but immediately touched the ground with both hands and lay on the carpet.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shou put his feet on her back and looked at the information in his hand.

This information is not about the White Lotus Sect, but from Li Xin. He had already cheated out everything Su Li knew, and only then did he know that the White Lotus Sect organization became more and more strict as it reached the upper level, and Su Li knew very limitedly.

Now she is locked in the backyard, and sometimes she is addicted to training. She is reluctant to attack her concubine and enjoy herself. Su Li, who originally thought she was very hard, finally saw what a cruel person is. When Chen Shou cleans up, he is afraid of him, and he is more obedient than a dog.

It is rare for Li Xin to write a letter to herself directly, and the content did not disappoint herself. It was simply shocking.

He actually wanted the imperial court to organize troops and divide the troops from Hedong, Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Xiliang into four groups, break into the grassland, and completely annihilate Hebule.

Li Xin's faith was full of nearly 100,000 words, and analyzed the current situation and system of the Mongolian Khanate.

It can be seen that he put in a lot of effort. Not only did he master a lot of Mongolian intelligence, he even took out several important Mongolian generals to analyze them separately, including their personalities, achievements, and their previous tribes, and how loyal they were to Hebule.

Mongolia had just been unified by force by Hebule, and many tribes were actually captured by his military forces and had to surrender to Hebule.

Li Xin did not think about how to defend, but instead solved the Mongolian issue once and for all, and Chen Shou felt it was very inappropriate.

First of all, he was sure that Li Xin was not considered completely from a military perspective.

He saw that the Great Qi is in turmoil now, and he wanted to use a war of national strength to reshape everyone's awe of the imperial court and loyalty to Zhao Qi, and to divert the conflicts that were about to break out in Da Qi.

If we consider it from a purely military perspective, it is not appropriate to send troops at this time.

Because the Great Qi was at its weakening time, and Mongolia was at its peak.

He had no feelings for Zhao Qi at all, and he was unwilling to let his men sacrifice their lives for this dynasty that was in their twilight years.

According to Li Xin's idea, taking a real risk at this time, attacking Mongolia in the north was the last move to save the Great Qi Dynasty.

If you can win by chance, you will also make a huge sacrifice, which will be a compromise and cooperation between various forces. Once again, everyone needs a strong imperial power to mediate conflicts between all parties.

At that time, as long as someone in the Zhao Qi royal family could seize the opportunity, they would definitely return to the center of power.

Every move of this move was very difficult, thanks to Li Xin's failure to think of it.

If I really played with him, I would probably be exhausted if I won, and the material and manpower in the Central Plains would also be consumed.

To put it bluntly, Li Xin is different from his brother. He is loyal to the emperor but does not love the people. For the sake of Daqi, he could come up with such an idea, give up the border and avoid guarding it, and let Daqi soldiers and civilians fight with the Mongolians on the grassland, and they are unwilling to defend Mongolia in Datong.

"I don't know what's up!" Chen Shou said in a deep voice.

After scolding, Chen Shou put away the long letter of dozens of pages very well.

The above information about Mongolia and borders will definitely be used in the future. When you manage the Central Plains well, you will sooner or later fight with the Mongolians.

At that time, it would be a perfect solution to gain national strength with the prosperity of the Central Plains and fight against Mongolia.
