The Mid-Autumn Festival is near, the night of August 14th. Although Yizhou, Hebei is a border city, it is already early to prepare for the festival before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The red lanterns on the long street were hung up early, and some wooden shelves on the lantern market were half built.

In the past few years, the weather has been smooth, and the season just after the harvest, from officials to Li people are ready to celebrate the festival.

A young general upstairs in the north city, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, slowly paced back and forth behind the female wall, and returned to reunite with his family only after the value came down. His eyes looked at the brightly lit market in the city.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a very unusual muffled noise, and hurriedly turned his head and looked outside the city. The moonlight was cold, and the earth was dark, with only dappled lights in the distance.

The general frowned and stared into the distance.

Suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, a war horse galloped down the city, and the knight on the horse raised his head and shouted: "The Liao Army is invading!"

The general was horrified and hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "Beat the drum! Prepare for war! Send someone to report to the army immediately!"

In an instant, black lacquered shadows surging up and down under the moonlight, and large swaths of horsemen rushed toward the gate of the city! The horse's hoof seemed to be entangled with something, and the sound was very small, and the dull sound of the horse's hoof was becoming clearer and clearer when it was close.

"Boom, boom..." The war drum on the wall rang.

At this moment, the military commander heard a moment of movement and suddenly found a group of horses in Wengcheng going straight to the gate of Wengcheng. He asked loudly, "Which horse?"

(As soon as the voice fell, the group of black shadows on horseback had rushed into the city gate. Inside the city gate, there was a "ding, ding, ding, ding, banging," screaming. The general suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly drew his sword to lead people to the city. The stone steps rushed away, yelling for reinforcements.

But it was too late, and the dark shadows quickly opened Weng to go out, and then cut the chains of the suspension bridge with an axe. With a "bang" the suspension bridge slammed down straight, and a group of horsemen rushed towards the city gate frantically!

As soon as the cavalry group passed through the city, it was too late for the defenders of the Zhou army to resist, and a large number of cavalry split their troops and went straight into the city.

The brightly lit street immediately went into chaos. It happened very suddenly, and the screams and horseshoes were chaotic.

……

The majestic Tokyo imperial city, a layer of milky white mist shrouded between the pavilions and halls in the morning, just like Qiong Palace. The sound of bamboo silk came out from the main hall, a scene of prosperity and wealth.

In the palace banquet, Guo Shao and Fu Ermei were seated in the upper position. The concubines, ministers of civil and military affairs, and the wife of the imperial court came forward to meet in order. The musicians sitting on the wall were singing and playing with joy.

When Cao Bin returned to Beijing, Guo Shao hosted a banquet to celebrate him. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The banquet was very lively and gathered the most powerful and wealthy people in Tokyo.

The Empress Fu Ermei has a smile on her face and her eyes are like a crooked moon, making people look very comfortable. However, Guo Shao still slightly regretted that Fu Jinzhan was unable to attend this banquet. The emperor and empress are sitting here, although Fu Jinzhan has the honorary title, but she is the first emperor and the empress is a bit difficult to find a position, so she simply can't come.

Instead, it was Taizu's noblewoman Zhang who came to the banquet. She has been in Wanfu Palace for many years. This is the first time she has returned to the front hall to participate in such a big banquet. Her nephew Cao Bin is the most eye-catching rookie at the banquet today.

There are many people at the banquet, but everyone who can participate has an identity. After meeting the emperor and empress, everyone politely found their place while greeting each other and paying attention to the people around them. Everyone looked at the young concubine from time to time, and paid much attention to her without saying anything. No one knows whether Concubine Zhang was tainted by his grandson Cao Bin or Cao Bin was tainted by the young and beautiful concubine Zhang ......After all, Cao Bin no matter how capable he was, he was originally one of many generals, and he might not have the opportunity to lead a 100,000 army to the south.

Concubine Zhang has been far away from the front hall and the noble circle for too long. Everyone didn't talk to her, mainly because she was unfamiliar and didn't know what to say. If she said something wrong, she was just plain suspicious. Zhang was dressed up today and put on a gown. She was beautiful everywhere. She was also silent, but she sat upright, with a smile on her face, not crying.

...At this time, the young general Dong Zunhao brought his mother Gao to the courtesy. Gao was named his wife, so he was invited to the banquet. Before Guo Shao received the gift, he nodded to indicate that it was all right. Now he immediately asked: "How well is Sister Yi recently?"

Gao's knees slightly bent and said: "Thank you, your concubine is fine."

Guo Shao feels a little bit sour. He has been entangled in everything for a while, and there is no reasonable reason to see Gao. It has been a long time since he saw her. Guo Shao looked at Gao Clan. She was still plump and dignified, as if she had not changed much. Today, she is even more glamorous and beautiful. Every woman who went to the banquet has been carefully dressed.

Gao's family also feels a bit pitiful. She has been separated from her relatives. She was abducted by the Khitan before and could not see her son. Now she can't recognize her own daughter. People like Gao with noble status have been robbed by the Khitan people, which is really uncomfortable.

Guo Shao couldn't help telling Dong Zun: "General Dong, the whole life of Tang will be rough, you have to be filial."

Dong Zunzuo hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The general will follow your majesty's teachings."

After Dong Zunjiao and Gao cried out, they were seated separately.

Guo Shao turned his head and glanced, focusing on Jing Niang who was wearing a round-neck purple robe. Jingniang walked over calmly and bent down beside Guo Shao. Guo Shao whispered: "After the banquet, you take Mrs. Dong to visit Yulian and let him see Princess (Guo) Jinsuo."

Jing Niang said without expression: "Hey."

At this moment, the officials sang specially: "Cao Bin, the chief general of the Five Army Capital Governor's Mansion, and the General Marshal of the World Soldiers and Horses!"

One of the names of this banquet is Cao Bin’s celebration banquet. Everyone turned their heads and looked out the door. Cao Bin, a man in uniform with high spirits and blushing face, walked in with strides, and he heard the deputy envoy of the Privy Council Wei Renpu smile and said: "Congratulations, Dashuai Cao for the victory!"

Cao Bin arched his hands to the left and right, and walked under the dragon chair with a big seal wrapped in red cloth in both hands. He simply knelt down on one knee and held up the big seal and said: "The minister pays homage to your majesty, the queen. The ministers were ordered to march south and finally lived up to his majesty’s trust. They attacked the Southern Han Kingdom and returned to the imperial court. Now they return the seal of the Marshal of the World’s Soldiers and Horses. Long live my emperor!"

The **** went down and took the seal.

Guo Shao complimented him a lot, and gave a reward on the spot with a silver ribbon, a scabbard inlaid with precious stones and gold, and a brocade robe for Cao Bin to wear in public. Everyone congratulated him, Cao Bin's face was red, and he greeted his colleagues with a fist, and the hall was beaming.

Cao Bin prayed to the superior again: "The minister captured Liu Jixing, the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty... and Fan Hu, the national teacher of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the minister agreed to take her to meet the saint."

Guo Shao said: "Send them in."
