After returning to Xia Guoying from the Han Army Commander's tent, Zhao Xingde sat cross-legged, pulled out the horizontal knife and placed it on his knees, closed his eyes and pondered the countermeasures. The setting sun was like blood, reflecting the sky red, the sunset was rolling and surging, and a thin gauze was shrouded in the sky and earth. The sunset light shone through the curtain, and the horizontal knife's blade was covered with silk-like patterns, like a living thing. Since joining the army in Dunhuang, this horizontal knife has been following him. After many fierce battles, the blade has dyed a lot of blood. Although Zhao Xingde carefully wiped it every day, a pool of blood always flowed.

After a long time, Zhao Xingde breathed a long sigh and placed the horizontal knife beside the desk. He ordered his personal soldiers to prepare a fast horse. At the same time, he brought centurion Du Chujiao and Liu Zhijian to discuss.

"This matter is likely to cause revenge from the Liao Kingdom. Millions of Han children under the Liao Kingdom were placed on the edge of the knife," Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, "I plan to write to the two governments to let our envoys put pressure on the Liao court, which will make Yelu Dashi afraid." His tone was very firm. For major military affairs, the commanders should not be stubborn and should make decisions after discussing with their subordinates. This is also the convention in the Xia army. However, Zhao Xingde's tone at this time had already made a decision.

"It's good, if you report it, you won't be afraid of anyone making a fuss in the future." Liu Zhijian pondered, "Suzhou crossed the sea and was Dengzhou in the Song Dynasty. Military books were sent to Dunhuang, and then from Dunhuang to Shangjing. Even if the fastest carrier pigeons were used throughout the whole process, the two governments made quick decisions, and the official letters would take a lot of time. I'm afraid that by then, there would be a long time for people to roll in and blood flowing. Moreover, the Liao emperor Yelu Dashi was a hero of the world. Even if our envoys were intimidated, it might not work." Du Chujiao narrowed his eyes. He didn't say anything, but only looked at Zhao Xingde's orders.

"Send a letter to the two governments and copy one to the envoy of Cui State at the same time." Zhao Xingde had considered this section long ago and said in a deep voice, "If Lord Cui Qianzhi had the intention, he would put pressure on Yelu Dashi before he got the decision of the two governments. No matter how the Liao court responded, we must do our best."

He reached out and raised the teacup and took a sip. It was different from the envoys from the Lumei Kingdom and the 7th Battalion of Chengying. Liao Kingdom was an enemy country, and Shangjing and Liaodong were far away. The envoys from the Liao Kingdom and the Chengying Camp in Liaodong were very different, and there was no direct connection between the two. However, the eighth Battalion of Chengying sent a copy of the letter to Cui Qianzhi to report the news to Cui Qianzhi. In this major event that concerns the lives of countless Han children, the envoys from the Liao Kingdom and Chengying Camp were no different. Cui Qianzhi would definitely put pressure on the Liao Kingdom before receiving the clear orders of the two governments.

Liu Zhijian thought for a moment and nodded, "If you act like this, it may be too late. The Han army had to take some time, but the news reached Shangjing, and it would take some time to delay." Du Chujiao nodded without thinking and said with a smile: "It's still the lieutenant who has a way."

Zhao Xingde drafted the letter to the two palaces. Du Chujiao and Liu Zhijian read it and then sent it out with the seal. After the two left, Zhao Xingde spread out the blank paper and began to write a second letter.

这一封信却是送给宋国陈东的,请他念在辽国数百万汉人性命的份上,向宋皇赵柯进谏,阻止辽国向汉人大挥屠刀.这一两年来,在辽国的刻意示好下,宋辽关系极佳.如果从夏国宋国两方面都施以压力,辽国朝廷恐怕也不能把事情做绝了,陷入宋,夏,金,汉四面树敌的处境.

After writing the letter to Chen Dong, Zhao Xingde detailed the situation of the tragic incident in Shenzhou. From Du Biao's perspective, he wrote an article "Biography of Du Yishi" in "Baishan Crying Blood Records". The Neo-Confucian Society widely spread the cruelty of the Liao Kingdom in Shenzhou, creating some trends, which not only won the effect of unity against the enemy, but also prevented the Song Dynasty from turning a blind eye to the atrocities of the Liao Kingdom. For the sake of business contact, Li Yong, Zhao Xingde and Chen Dong There was a way between the three of them to use the Fuhaixing Post Office to deliver messages. However, the more desolate the place the commercial pigeon station is, the more expensive it is. If Zhao Xingde's two short letters were delivered by the fastest post office, the more money it would cost to buy a few horses. He also had to send soldiers to Zhenhai Mansion, the most important port in Liaodong, to hand them over to the Fuhaixing Post Office. It is estimated that this letter would be a little later than the previous letter to Cui Qianzhi, Shangjing.

After these things were done, it was noon. Zhao Xingde sent the letter overnight. He looked alone on the Xia State Camp for a long time. The dew was wet and the clothes were wet, and the coldness penetrated the bones. Zhao Xingde took a deep breath of the clear air, and his scorching mind cooled down. After patrolling the guard post, he went back to the tent to go to bed.

............

The sound of the buzzer and the sound of crying were faintly heard in the bitter north wind. The night was quiet, as quiet as a pool of ice water, and nothing happened.

天色微明,仿佛从潭底突然间涌起一阵激流,翻卷出层层浪花.各种营不约而同地发出人喧马嘶之声.平常看似松松垮垮的人,脸上也带着几分严峻的表情.训练的时候,号子喊得震天响,不少军兵自觉披上了重甲,也不抱怨疲累,一遍一遍操演着各种杀敌的动作.

The exercises this morning were much more rigorous than before. Everyone had a slight change, and the soldiers were still in the middle of the army. But this morning was indeed a strange thing compared to other mornings.

"These lazy people seem to have suddenly changed their sexual desire." Gao Bolong grinned. He was extremely sensitive to the change in morale, so he immediately noticed it.

"Because from now on, no one has a way out." Xiong Renyue sneered, "Either the enemy dies, or I dies. Those who want to survive by chance have their own way out. If they don't know how to work hard, there will be only one way to die." As soon as the Han generals came out of the central army's tent, most of them felt a heavy heart and a little inexplicably excited. Soon after everyone was chatting, they went back to the camp to urge the soldiers to strengthen the camp and practice the military formations, and prepare to fight the Liao army to the death in the future.

In the central army tent, Wang Xuansu said with doubts: "Last night, General Zhao sent two teams of messengers, one team crossing the sea to Dengzhou by fast boat, and the other team flew to Zhenhai Mansion. I wonder what it means?" The Xia State-owned Army garrison naturally fell into the eyes of the Han army on the territory of the Han army. Although Zhao Xingde had no intention of covering up, the Han army did not dare to intercept the messenger or privately dismantle the letters.

Han Ningshuang lowered her head and thought for a moment, and whispered: "I have asked in person, General Zhao is still standing on our side." Her voice exuded a sense of silence, and even more with an unreserved trust.

"That's good." Wang Xuansu nodded, with a happy look on his face and said with a smile, "Early early this morning, the lazy guys in each battalion have put all their energy into practice and have stepped up their training. It's really good to put it to death and live a life." He said with a firm look on his face, "My generals and others swear to follow the marshal to the death, even if they are heartbroken, they will fight to the death with the Khitan thieves."

............

From this day on, the Han army's preparations for war suddenly accelerated. After five thousand Khitan heads were sent to the city of Chenzhou, the Han army in Suzhou, Fuzhou, Kaizhou and other places sent a large number of probes to strictly guard against the revenge of the Liao army. The rumors that the Liao army might have retaliated against the massacre of the Han people spread throughout Tokyo Road, even Zhongjing Road and Shangjing Road.

残存的汉儿百姓络绎不绝地向汉军控制的地方逃亡.投奔苏州的汉民全部送往附近的海岛上去过冬,等到开春之后再安排往各处开垦定居.而太白山方面则直接把流民安置在各营各寨.天气一日寒甚一日,汉军细作和义勇兄弟会全都发动起来,帮助分散在辽国治下的汉民汉奴朝汉军控制的地方逃亡.不少百姓冻死饿死在慢慢长路上.冬天里豺狼虎豹等野兽都是饥肠辘辘,尸体很快啃食得干干净净,一两场雪下来后,就再不见踪影.

Five days, ten days, and a month passed. The expected bloody storm did not come. Instead, several heavy snowfalls fell, and the entire Liaodong was covered in white. In December, the wind of the Jin army heading south was also heard, and the people from all over the country breathed a sigh of relief. This disaster, like the top of Mount Tai, passed invisibly.

............

When he went to the capital, His Majesty Dashi, who was sitting high in the emperor's tent, seemed to be closed, as if he was absent-minded. The Privy Councilor Yelu Tiege's face turned pale and stared fiercely at the envoy of Xia Kingdom standing opposite him.

Cui Qianzhi wore a virtuous crown on his head, a purple robe with a large sleeve, a gold hook with a jade belt, and a goldfish bag hanging around his waist. He had a graceful and grand demeanor of a great country. He said slowly: "Your Majesty is among the superiors and practices the position of the Nine Five. The governance is successful, and he is a good king. We should examine the moral governance and benevolent and righteous politics. How can we arouse the anger of thunder and thunder because of the merits... But my Majesty heard some rumors about your Majesty wanting to vent his anger on a good man because of the rebels, and he was very worried. He ordered the minister to express his condolences. God has the virtue of being a virtuous person. I hope Your Majesty will ease the anger of thunder and do more benevolent policies, so that the country will flourish and the world will be peaceful."

Yelu Tiege's eyes widened and said sternly: "The alliance between our court and Song and Xia has long written clearly, 'Everyone protects the people and guards the border carefully'. It is not necessary to interfere in the affairs of the Great Liao Dynasty." He often spoke in the army, and his right hand subconsciously touched his waist, but he felt it empty. Only then did he remember that it was in front of His Majesty, and his sword had been lifted. He couldn't help but glared at Cui Qian's eyes fiercely in disappointment.

Cui Qianzhi glanced at the top of the throne. The Emperor of Liao still looked undeniable and smiled: "Master Privy Councilor, although everyone protects the people, you and I have been in good faith for a hundred years. Your Majesty in our dynasty is a few years older than Your Majesty in our dynasty. He heard some rumors that were not conducive to Your Majesty in your country, and he was afraid that Your Majesty in your country would be misled by the treacherous and slandered, so he ordered his ministers to be so talkative and talkative."

Brother Yelu Tie seemed to be about to spit out fire. Cui Qianzhi paused and said slowly: "I am kind and soft-hearted in my lordship to carry out benevolent governments and the country is peaceful. It is like there is a Rus Kingdom in the West. After the first emperor passed away, the prince who ascended the throne lost the righteousness of brotherly friendship and imprisoned more than a dozen brothers. It was also my greetings to Your Majesty. Now they are all very grateful."
