The two court officials who were transformed by Vladimir''s night embracing ceremony were both 50 or 60 years old.


    For them, there is something more important than power, that is health.


    Being transformed into blood clan, they felt that their bodies had long lost vitality and regained their majestic style on those young and beautiful concubines.


    Of course, the two court officials did not know that the blood clan''s desire for that aspect would gradually decline (just like Kitts), and they were still immersed in the excitement of returning to youth.


    When Bai Xiaowen came forward and asked the two imperial court officials to cooperate with Shi Miyuan for the benefit of changshengmen, they put on airs and wanted to refuse.


    Vladimir''s direct thoughts made the vampire blood in the two people boil. This pain like exposure to ultraviolet rays made the two people feel what is called human purgatory.


    Then they knew that they had become slaves. Life and death were controlled by others. They immediately became a discouraged ball. They could only promise to become peripheral members of Changsheng gate and serve Changsheng gate.


    Bai Xiaowen also learned about the situation by the way. These hall attendants have the latest first-hand information from the front line.


    Mongolian army and song army have broken caizhou.


    Mongolia plundered most of the gold and silver treasures of the royal family of the state of Jin. The song army robbed the bones of the last emperor of the state of Jin, Wan Yan Shouxu (Jin aizong). Together with the captured Prime Minister of the state of Jin, Zhang Tiangang, they were escorted back to Lin''an to pay homage to their ancestors, which was also a "shame of Jingkang" for the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty and the captivity of the second emperor.


    In this war, the Southern Song Dynasty made a lot of profits and recovered the four prefectures of Shou, Si, Su and Hao. It can be said that the whole territory of the two Huaihe rivers was basically recovered.


    Exterminate the feud of Jin and immerse the whole country in excitement and joy in the Southern Song Dynasty.


    This excitement and joy also filled song LiZong''s heart with the idea of setting up troops to the north and recovering the lost land in the Yellow River Basin in the Northern Song Dynasty.


    After the destruction of Jin, Mongolia bordered the Southern Song Dynasty. The territorial boundary, the eastern border in Sizhou, Zhengzhou line, that is, today''s Shandong, Henan and other places, the western border in today''s Qinghai.


    Mongolia withdrew to the north of the Yellow River because of the hot weather and lack of food and grass.


    In the court, a group of young officials proposed to take advantage of the retreat of Mongolia to the north and the emptiness of the Central Plains to send troops to the north. Their slogan is "pacify the Central Plains, stick to the Yellow River, occupy Tongguan and recover the three capitals".


    San Jing refers to the three capital cities of the former Northern Song Dynasty: Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo (i.e. Kaifeng, Henan), Henan Prefecture in Xijing (i.e. Luoyang, Henan) and Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing (i.e. Shangqiu, Henan), all located in Henan.


    However, most veteran officials are opposed to sending troops.


    The reason is very simple. Now the Central Plains has been turned into waste land by the massacre policy of the Mongols, with only broken empty cities.


    Originally a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, now there are only a few hundred households. Bones are exposed, corpses fill the river, epidemics are prevalent... I don''t know how much blood needs to be input into the Jianghuai region to restore the prosperity of the past.


    Not only the old school officials in the court opposed it, but also the generals outside knew the power of the Mongols and opposed sending troops.


    The argument did not last long.


    Because emperor li of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to support the dispatch of troops to recover the three capitals, especially the imperial mausoleum of the Northern Song Dynasty located in the Henan mansion (Luoyang) of Xijing. After recovering the three capitals, they followed the example of the Jin people to defend Tongguan, which was enough to resist Mongolia.


    After the emperor made up his mind, even the prime minister could not object.


    If Shi Miyuan wants to oppose, even the phase will give way to others.


    Bai Xiaowen did not object. At this time, his control over the imperial court of the Song Dynasty was not deep enough. It took time to slowly infiltrate his influence into all departments.


    Besides, the song army''s fight with Mongolia was also Bai Xiaowen''s intention. If song LiZong is different from history and becomes cautious and sticks to Huainan and other places, Mongolia may launch a war a few months later. Bai Xiaowen doesn''t have so much time to spend here.


    So the Southern Song army sent troops North for the second time.


    Bai Xiaowen was directly prompted. He triggered a large historical event - the Song Mongolian war!


    "Heroic Branch Mission: [calming huaidong] starts."


    "[mission objective: destroy the loyal army entrenched in Huai''an.]"


    "[task difficulty: D +]"


    "[task duration: none (equivalent to your remaining stay time on the Shao positioning surface)]


    "[task reward: 150 Lingjing.]


    Huaidong, where Abaddon is located, also ushered in the first war - not with the Mongols, but with the "loyal army".


    The so-called loyal and righteous army is actually a local armed group that revolts because it is dissatisfied with the rule of the Jin people.


    At first it was called the "red coat army". Later, song ningzong crusaded against the state of Jin and recruited various rebel armies. Li Quan, Yang Miaozhen and others, the generals of the red coat army, led the army to rely on the great Song Dynasty and crusade against the state of Jin. They were called "loyal and righteous army".


    It is worth mentioning that Li Quan and Yang Miao are really a couple, and both are good at using guns. Li Quan, known as "Li Tie gun", is powerful and skillful in bowing and horse; His wife Yang Miaozhen is even more powerful. She is known as "twenty pear spear, invincible in the world". The pear spear technique created by her has even spread to future generations and has been highly praised by military strategists of the Ming Dynasty such as Qi Jiguang and he Liangchen.


    Of course, the name of loyal and righteous army is very good, but it turns sour in the back. With the passage of time, Li Quan and his wife have long forgotten their original intention and become mercenary. On the surface, they submitted to the Southern Song Dynasty and obtained the money and food of the Southern Song Dynasty; Secretly, he was attached to Mongolia, not only trading materials with Mongolia, but also burning the former imperial arsenal of the Southern Song Dynasty.


    Later, Li Quan even openly attacked Yancheng, robbed all the materials in the government treasury, and coerced the Southern Song Dynasty to recall Zhao Shanxiang, the institutional envoy along the river, Yue Ke, the general soldier of huaidong, and others. This has touched the bottom line of the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally triggered the Southern Song Dynasty''s crusade against the loyal and righteous army.


    Of course, the psychological changes of Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen in recent years are also related to the improper employment of the court of the Southern Song Dynasty. Xu Guo, a senior official of the court who was sent to appease the loyal army, was short-sighted and arrogant, repeatedly deducted the food and salaries of the loyal army, and his staff were arrogant and rude to Li Quan''s senior generals, which aroused Li Quan''s rebellious heart.


    But no matter what happened in the past, Li Quan has become a vicious dog of the Mongols. If you want to send troops to huaidong and go north to Qingzhou, you must destroy Li Quan.


    Bai Xiaowen triggered this task, apparently because Abaddon was in huaidong.


    According to the spirit world rules, Abaddon is Bai Xiaowen''s summoning creature. If Abaddon is in huaidong, it means that Bai Xiaowen''s combat power is in huaidong; So he triggered the task.


    The difficulty of "hero branch line" in this task must be due to the existence of large-scale war scenes, which improves the "quality" of the task.


    However, in judging the strength of the enemy and ourselves, the spirit world rules judge that Bai Xiaowen''s camp has great advantages and only gives it a D + difficulty. In other words, even without Bai Xiaowen''s participation, the war is a sure win.
