After Li Shou left, Zhi Yunwu sat down on the chair violently, and said hatefully: "The name is good, and the deception is too much!" ”

Han Fang stepped forward and comforted: "The prince is angry, when this is critical, you need to be quick and impatient."

An Tahai snorted and said, "What does Lord Han mean, is it to promise him?" ”

Han Fang hurriedly said: "Han Fang didn't mean that, but...... If we refuse outright, I'm afraid that the Xia people will be provoked to attack the country, and we will definitely not be able to fight on five sides! ”

When Zhi Yunwu heard the words "five-sided battle", his heart sank, and he thought: "Not bad! Slowly calmed down, but thinking of Li Shou's aggressiveness, he still couldn't help but be indignant.

Han Fang said: "For today's plan, the only way to delay is to delay as much as possible." ”

"Procrastination? I'm afraid not. Guo Hao said: "I know Brother Weimingcha's temperament, since he has decided to commit an eastward attack, unless we really satisfy his appetite, we will never wait for our decision on the border." ”

Zhi Yunwu said: "Lord Guo is saying that he will definitely march?" ”

Guo Hao sighed: "I'm afraid so. ”

Han Fang said: "The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the situation, as long as it is delayed until His Majesty comes back, it will be easy to do at that time." Any land cut, any peace treaty, can be used as a piece of waste paper! ”

Guo Hao said: "It's not that simple to be afraid!" What kind of people are Brother Mingrenzhong and Brother Weimingcha, how could they see a piece of paper and quit the army? Besides, if we cut off the land, they may not retreat. Maybe it will intensify and pour the country forward, wouldn't it be a loss to the wife and the army at that time? ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "But we really can't afford to fight a big battle at the moment!" Even if you kill me, the household department will no longer be able to come up with any more money. ”

Everyone said that there was no good law, and when they were in trouble, the attendant came to report: "Li Yongqi, the general staff of the Linxia Military Region, has arrived." ”

Liu Qi sent Li Yongqi to Beijing, and Zhi Yunwu, Ouyang Shi and several ministers knew about it, and when they heard that he was coming, Zhi Yunwu said with a slight smile on his face: "It's a coincidence!" Li has been in the army for a long time in the summer, and he must know the reality of the Xia people! Come in, please. ”

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man rushing in, it turned out that Li Yongqi heard that the prince of the prison country was receiving Li Shou, and he hurriedly went to the palace to ask for a meeting, regardless of the fatigue on the road. Guo Hao and Li Yongqi are old acquaintances, but it is not easy to come forward to say hello at this time, the two only exchanged one look, and Li Yongqi stepped forward to salute Zhi Yunwu.

Seeing that his face was covered with dust, Zhi Yunwu ordered his attendant to serve a cup of tea first. Li Yongqi didn't give up, thanked him first, grabbed it and drank it, put the cup in a mess, and then went straight to the point: "Prince, I heard that Xia envoy Li Shou has entered the palace to meet the prison country, I don't know...... I wonder if he is presumptuous? ”

Zhi Yunwu sighed and ordered the attendant to hand over the "national letter" that had just been thrown to the ground by Han Fang to Li Yongqi. Li Yongqi opened it and exclaimed, "What is this?" ”

Guo Hao briefly said the scene of Fang Cai seeing Li Shou, and when Li Yongqi heard it, he knelt down on the spot and cried: "Prince! This must not be agreed! These thirty-nine walled cities were bought and defended with the blood of frontier warriors. If it is ceded to the Xia people, then ...... Then, then Shaanxi Qin Feng should stop thinking about being protected! ”

Han Fang sighed: "Li joins the army, these thirty-nine walled cities cannot be lost, we all know it. But you have come all the way east, you should have heard that Zong Bi and Zong Han have already raised troops, and Zhao Gou has come to take advantage of the fire to rob again. If we add Brother Mingcha, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to resist. At that time, it will be difficult to protect not only Shaanxi and Qinfeng, but the entire Han River! ”

Li Yongqi was shocked and said: "Zhao Gou...... The Song family also came to embarrass us? ”

Guo Hao snorted and said: "They are deploying troops on the border, saying that they want to come to the aid of the neighbor but the enemy, but in fact, you don't have to think about it to know the abacus in your heart!" ”

Li Yongqi said: "But even so, you can't cut the land!" ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "No one wants to cut the land. But Li joined the army, and now the center is short of money and food, and he can't afford to fight a big battle anymore. ”

Li Yongqi said: "I don't want money and grain in Shaanxi, just rely on local supplies, and I must win this battle!" ”

Zhi Yunwu was moved by Li Yongqi's bold words and asked: "If the center doesn't help, can the Xia Bian soldiers win the battle?" ”

Li Yongqi said loudly: "Yes! ”

Guo Hao frowned and said, "Brother Li, we all understand your feelings, but now is a decisive military plan, and you can't be emotional." The prince asks if you can win, not if you are determined. "He is from the Western family and has a deep understanding of the strength of Shaanxi and Xia people.

Li Yongqi said: "The center didn't send a single soldier into Hexi before, but we also drove the Xia people back!" ”

"This time, that time!" Guo Hao said: "Shaanxi and Qin Fengbing will be able to achieve such a record, on the one hand, it is indeed because the soldiers used their lives, but at the same time, because the Xia Rentun army was in Yunnei at that time, they had to defend against the Jin people and Hedong, these two places at least restrained forty percent of their military strength. ”

Han Fang said: "In addition, at that time, my Han country was strong, and Qianshun was afraid in his heart, and he did not dare to chase after victory, and he did not dare to make a comeback when defeated. Because Wei Ming Qianshun has all kinds of scruples, the front-line soldiers can't let go of their hands and feet. It can be said that although the center did not enter Shaanxi at that time, it did not help. But now that Wei Mingqian has the heart to deceive me, he is bound to come to the country without scruples. ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Moreover, when there was a war in the summer of the past two years, Weinan was fine, Lord Guo Hao and Lord Yu Qi transferred the grain of Weinan to make up for the shortage of Qin Feng in Weibei, and the first section of the Zhongwu Army was also ready to reinforce at any time, so as to avoid the worries of the soldiers in Xiabian." But if this war breaks out, the Song family raises troops to attack, at that time Shaanxi Qin Feng will be attacked on all sides, and Weinan can no longer be relied on as the Linxia army, and even needs the Linxia army to rescue, by that time, General Liu Qi is also sure to win this battle? ”

Zhi Yunwu stared at Li Yongqi after Guo, Han, and Chen spoke, to see how he answered.

The three ministers said this, Li Yongqi couldn't resist it, after all, he was not a fierce general of Zhang Fei, and it was the norm for soldiers to be so excited, at this time, thinking of all the concerns, deep down in his heart, he had to admit that Brother Wei's army was indeed stronger than the army led by Liu Qi, thinking of this, two lines of tears flowed down and said: "Prince, good!" General Liu didn't know in his heart whether he could fight the Xia people alone. But before he came, he asked me to do it for him—no! It was hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Linxia who said to the prince: Qin Longnan would rather die on the battlefield than cede land and seek peace! He glanced around at the princes in the hall and said: "How the prince and your ministers decide, we dare not intervene for the sake of the generals, but before the prince and you make a decision, think about the blood that we, the frontier warriors, have spilled on these thirty-nine walled cities and the corpses thrown on these thirty-nine walled cities!" ”

Zhi Yunwu is also a person who has been in the military camp, and he was brought to tears by Li Yongqi's words: "Not bad! Not bad! There are the bones of soldiers on every inch of land on the frontier, and there is no blood of soldiers by the well in the northwest! The discussion of land cession should not be mentioned lightly! ”
