Chapter 1564: Temporary official position, Wanyan Ping looking for relatives
There were originally twenty-three routes (provinces and states) in the Northern Song Dynasty.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, it was said that there were still sixteen routes, but in fact, most of the rich land of the Northern Song Dynasty had been occupied by the Tartars.

Among the remaining sixteen roads, Southwest Beijing Road is not the richest, but it is the most important.

Because this is the first dangerous pass that blocks the Tatars from moving south.

Now Zhao Yun suddenly granted Su Mingzhe a common title and appointed him as the Jingnan Recruiting Envoy, making him one of the sixteen frontier officials in the world. This was not a random title.

The Jingnan Recruiting Envoy was an official position established by the Song Dynasty during wartime to be in charge of military and political affairs.

Although in wartime, he was able to govern the five states of Xiang, Sui, Ying, Fang, and Jun, as well as the Guanghua Army, and could be regarded as a powerful and influential prince with heavy troops under his command.

However, once the war is over, this envoy will have to return to Beijing to report!
In other words, this is a thankless temporary official position!
Of course, even if this is a temporary position, it is enough to make many people envious.

After all, Su Mingzhe was originally just a chivalrous knight, but because he led his team to destroy the 70,000-strong Mongolian army, he was directly promoted by Zhao Yun to a provincial governor.

In the eyes of most people, this is a quick success.

Not only are some people envious, some are even jealous and even dissatisfied.

However, these jealous and dissatisfied people dare not speak out.

After all, the Tatars were about to attack the city.

If Su Mingzhe cannot resist the attack of the Tartars, he may be beheaded.

The so-called glory of life is but a flash in the pan.

……

Accompanied by the military supervisor of Xiangyang, Su Mingzhe came to his own yamen of appeasement.

The Office of the Recruiting Commissioner was located next to the Office of the Pacifying Commissioner.

On the night Su Mingzhe checked in, many local officials, military generals, and heroes came to congratulate him.

After the banquet.

Su Mingzhe brought Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhu Ziliu and others to discuss military affairs.

The Tartars now claim to have an army of 400,000, twice the size of the defenders of Xiangyang City. Coupled with their notoriety, their force is formidable.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong couldn't think of a better solution for the time being, so they could only fight back against the enemy with their own troops and block the water with earth.

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe smiled and said:

"Master, Master's Wife, I originally had an idea, but I didn't say it because the time was not right. Now that the court has asked me to take charge of Jingnan Road, I think the time is ripe!"

"what idea?"

Huang Rong knew that her eldest disciple not only had an amazing talent in martial arts, but also had brilliant ideas in other areas.

"In fact, I think we can't just rely on the government army to fight against the Tartars and recover the Central Plains!"

As Su Mingzhe spoke, he explained the sixteen-character principle of guerrilla warfare.

"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!"

Guo Jing read it over and over again and was quite moved.

However, he knew that although this sixteen-character policy sounded good, it was difficult to implement.

Huang Rong made a very clear point:
"Mingzhe, your method is good, but it will be difficult to select talents to implement it, right?"

"Master, Master's Wife, the Song Dynasty is in danger now. It can be overthrown in a moment's thought. It's already this time. No matter how difficult it is, I want to give it a try!"

Su Mingzhe knows better than anyone how difficult guerrilla warfare is.

Moreover, guerrilla warfare places extremely high demands on the cultural and ideological qualities of personnel behind enemy lines.

The Central Plains had been occupied by the Jin Kingdom for more than a hundred years.

In the places occupied by the Tatars, the Han people in the Central Plains were called Jin people, not Song people.

The further away Youyan area was not part of the Song territory.

It is not easy to wage guerrilla warfare in these places.

However, Su Mingzhe had actually calculated dozens of times in his mind about how to carry out this guerrilla warfare.

He only spoke out after he realized that doing so could maximize his own interests.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe was determined, Guo Jing and Huang Rong said nothing more.

The real reason is as Su Mingzhe said, the Southern Song Dynasty is now in danger, and it would be good if Su Mingzhe could have a solution.

What kind of bike do you want?
……

"Long Er, are you still awake?"

After a busy period, Su Mingzhe returned to the bedroom. Seeing Xiaolongnu still sitting at the head of the bed waiting for him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

It is now April, a summer day. Xiangyang is hot.

Xiaolongnu was only wearing a light gauze dress, with the milky white bellyband underneath half exposed. When Su Mingzhe saw it, his eyes widened.

After only a few months of marriage, Xiaolongnu has already become somewhat as charming as Wang Yuyan.

Xiao Longnu was leaning against the bed in a daze. When she saw the man coming back, a hint of surprise immediately appeared in her eyes:
"Official——"

"what happened?"

Su Mingzhe was a little surprised to see Xiao Longnu's excitement. He got on the bed, held the woman in his arms, and asked in a low voice while loving her:
"Long Er, are you not used to living here?"

"Ok!"

In the afternoon, Xiao Longnu followed Su Mingzhe to the yamen of the pacification envoy and moved directly into the backyard.

As a result, in addition to the gold, silver, jewelry and jewellery bestowed by the emperor, there were also many slaves and maids in the backyard, as well as eight beauties bestowed by the emperor.

Ever since Zhao Yun ascended the throne, he has been fond of beautiful women.

The beauties he bestowed upon her were naturally the most exquisite in the world.

Su Mingzhe heard Xiao Longnu's worry and quickly comforted her:
"Long'er, don't worry. No matter how beautiful they are, in my heart, they are not even a bit as beautiful as you!"

Xiao Longnu still had some troubles to tell the man, but Su Mingzhe was already hot all over.

At this critical moment, no matter how important the matter is, it must be postponed!

After the clouds and rain.

Xiao Longnu had long put aside her worries, snuggled happily in the man's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day.

Su Mingzhe went to the city gate tower to prepare to resist the Tartar attack.

Xiao Longnu was originally going to practice her "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" just like she did in the ancient tomb, but before she could enter into a state of meditation, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Princess, this old servant Bai Lian pays his respects to you, Princess!"

An old woman heard the noise and pushed the door open with a young girl. As soon as they entered, they prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed to Xiao Longnu:
"This old slave pays his respects to the princess!"

Seeing this, Xiao Long Nu ignored him, her expression as usual, and she said coldly:
"I'm not your princess! My last name isn't Wanyan!"

Just yesterday, the old woman came once. As soon as they met, she said that Xiaolongnu was an orphan of the Jin royal family.

It also vividly describes what happened more than 20 years ago.

The Jin Dynasty was jointly attacked by Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty and was on the verge of destruction. How did she protect the newborn Xiaolongnu and send her to the front of Chongyang Palace?

Xiao Longnu agreed with the old woman's description.

After all, her name came from the fact that she was swaddled in bright yellow cloth embroidered with golden dragons.

Ever since Zhao Kuangyin put on the yellow robe, bright yellow fabric has always been a royal product.

The embroidered five-clawed golden dragon is exclusive to the royal family.

The fact that her parents wrapped her in such an embroidered swaddling cloth indicated that she was most likely a descendant of the royal family.

However, the Jin Dynasty has been destroyed for more than ten years.

When these so-called 'relatives and subordinates' came to visit, Xiao Longnu naturally guessed that they had bad intentions.

So, yesterday she refused to acknowledge this so-called princess identity.

Last night, Xiao Longnu wanted to tell Su Mingzhe about it, but Su Mingzhe interrupted her.

Now these people have come to our door again, and judging from the situation, they seem to be quite shameless.

Xiao Longnu also felt a headache for a moment.

After all, she had never dealt with these things before!

"Princess, it doesn't matter whether your last name is Wanyan or not, but today I have brought your sister with me!"

Bai Lian didn't waste any words. He stood up and pulled the girl in white beside him, asking her to get closer to Xiaolongnu.

Xiaolongnu and other girls came closer to take a look and discovered that the girl's eyebrows were somewhat similar to their own.

The feeling of blood connection also made her feel a little warm:

"What's your name?"

The girl looked at Xiao Long Nu and felt the same way. When asked, she timidly said:

"Sister, my name is Wanyan Ping!"
