After leaving Taoxian, Zhan Juan sent people to Jiangzhou to report the news.

"The people over in Northern Xinjiang are sharpening their knives and getting ready."

The messenger informed Heliantong of the news, changed his horse and set off again.

He Liantong was silent for a long time, "Gather the generals."

The generals assemble.

"The northern Xinjiang side is preparing." He Liantong said: "I don't want to say anything about loyalty, nor do I want to say that I don't care about death, but hundreds of years of Daliao cannot be thrown away in the hands of our generation. If you die, you must die on the battlefield.

superior!"

"Double the number of sentinels."

"In every city, we are strictly checking female officials. We would rather catch the wrong ones than let them go."

"From today on, I, Jiangzhou, will be ready to fight!"

"yes!"

The generals resigned, and He Liantong smiled bitterly at Chen De and said: "Ningxing and Chang'an reached an agreement to attack Northern Xinjiang from a flank, and even forced Chang'an to agree to classify the Northern Xinjiang army as traitorous. This was a good thing, but he didn't expect the news to be leaked. Yang

Xuan will not sit still and wait for death, and will definitely launch an attack early. This good thing has turned into a bad thing, and time is fate!"

This is the general trend.

The trend is overwhelming and unstoppable.

Helian knew about it and Chen De knew about it.

Chen De said: "Jiangzhou is too close to Ningxing."

He Liantong nodded, "I know this, so I will write a memorial to Ningxing."

The news reached Ningxing.

"Should we start?"

Changling looked south.

"Let spring begin!" Xiao said, "But it remains to be seen. If it doesn't snow, there's no telling that Yang Xuan will choose to attack in winter."

"A winter attack would cost too much!" Wang Ju disagreed with this judgment, "Yang Xuan has always shown mercy to the people, so he will never do this."

"How are we prepared?" Changling asked.

"Everything is ready."

Beiliao has been raising money and grain, and money and grain are piled up like mountains in Ningxing City.

Once the hegemony of hundreds of years is activated, its potential is truly incredible.

"Actually, Daliao is not poor." Xiao said: "Those powerful and powerful people have a lot of money and food in their families. It's just that they are rich, but the court is poor."

"Fat them and conquer the Liao Dynasty!" Wang Ju shook his head.

"Block the offensive in Northern Xinjiang and solve this problem later." Changling narrowed his eyes and made up his mind to solve this cancer.

"The Tang Dynasty is not much better." Xiao said with a smile: "The noble families are on an equal footing with the emperor. The emperor has to turn a blind eye when sleeping, otherwise when he wakes up, he will find that the dynasty has changed."

"The moment Li Mi married the daughter of the Yang family in Yingchuan, it was doomed that the fall of the Tang Dynasty was inevitable." Wang Ju said, "Will Chang'an have time to attack?"

Changling looked at Xiao.

Xiao hesitated for a moment, then Changling said: "I understand.

Xiao smiled bitterly, "Chang'an has not experienced war for many years, and the emperors and generals have long been accustomed to doing things slowly. The southern Xinjiang army has not been mobilized, so with the guards of Chang'an, who dares to go north?"

"Once defeated, Northern Xinjiang will inevitably take advantage of the trend to fly the banner of the Qing Dynasty southward, and then the country will be annihilated." Changling said: "Li Mi is extremely cautious at this time."

The same goes for you. Xiao and Wang Ju glanced at Changling.

When the signs of action in northern Xinjiang became more and more obvious, many people suggested moving the capital.

Changling flatly refused, saying that this was a scene of national subjugation.

A chamberlain came over and said, "Princess, there is a memorial from King Lian Jiang."

Changling explained that there is no need to go through the formalities for Jiangzhou's memorials. Once they are delivered, they will be sent to the palace immediately.

Changling took the memorial, opened it, read it, and handed it to Xiao with a calm expression.

After Xiao read it, he handed it to Wang Ju.

The three of them were silent.

In the memorial, He Liantong proposed to move the capital, and even used fierce words to say that the capital was behind him, which made the soldiers extremely nervous, fearing that if they were defeated, Daliao would not survive.

"Princess Chang." Xiao was actually a supporter of the proposal to move the capital.

"Everything is right!" Changling said: "But one thing has been forgotten. If the capital is moved, how will the people in the world think of it!"

Wang Ju said: "Once the capital is moved, everyone in the world will think that the Liao Dynasty has been destroyed."

Afterwards, the country's situation will be irreversible.

"

King Lian Jiang means that he is not absolutely sure of defeat in this battle." Xiao said: "He is worried about Ning Xing."

"He is worried that if the battle is defeated, His Majesty will not be able to leave in time." Changling knew He Liantong's thoughts. "This is a difficult problem. If the capital is moved, the morale of the people will be lost. If the capital is not moved, there is a risk of being captured. I have thought about this problem for a long time.

, final decision, stay!”

She said slowly: "Money and food are being prepared everywhere, and troops are being trained. If Ning Xing can hold on for one more day, he can save some vitality for Daliaoduo.

"Daliao, have we reached this point?"

Xiao smiled bitterly. Of course he knew the current situation of Daliao. Reason told him that Daliao was in danger. But emotion told him that Daliao would not be destroyed.

"Yes." Wang Ju said.

It was precisely because of this that Changling chose to stay in Ningxing instead of moving the capital with the young emperor.

When the capital is moved, it is not the people who are moved.

But popularity!

People's hearts!

A cold wind swept across the land of northern Xinjiang, and several men were staggering among the rolling mountains.

The leader is Huo Ran.

Jiang was wrapped in thick clothes, folded his hands on his chest, lowered his head, and walked forward step by step.

This is in the forest, where fallen leaves are piled up, making a rustling sound when stepped on.

No one has ever been here before. Occasionally, a squirrel from the tree suddenly pops out, takes one look at them, and then runs away.

“There’s food here!”

A man rushed over as fast as he could, climbed up the tree several times, raised his right fist, and punched with all his strength.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Amidst the flying wood chips, the squirrel's nest was exposed.

The man grabbed a handful of various nuts, and the man below had his eyes glowing green, "Throw them down!"

A pile of pine nuts and chestnuts.

Jiang ate a few chestnuts, but he couldn't knock the pine nuts.

He looked around and said, "There are a lot of squirrels here."

The man nodded and began to search for the squirrel's nest.

After half a day's work, I got more than ten kilograms of nuts.

"I can survive for a few more days."

At night, everyone found a place leeward and slept together.

The cold wind howled, and Jiang had a vague dream of arriving in Chang'an.

In the palace, the servants of his status eat and drink the best. Take a bite of the fragrant biscuits, and the rich mutton fat inside will burst out, which is extremely delicious.

There is also roasted lamb, tsk tsk! Paired with a piece of pancake, it is really delicious!

The howling of animals came from the distance, and it sounded like a ghost crying and a wolf howling.

Jiang heard the movement, slowly raised his head, and saw a dark figure coming over. He carefully grabbed his baggage and stepped back little by little.

In the baggage are Jiang's nuts.

Once it is taken away, Jiang will die in two days at most without food in such cold weather.

Jiang's eyelids were twitching wildly.

The shadow took his baggage, then turned around and walked out quietly.

"Dog thief!"
