Song, Xia, Liao, and the three parties are all in a hurry, and each one is more anxious than the other.

The Xia people kept the death of the Empress Dowager Liang a secret, and Li Qianshun led the negotiations with the Liao, hoping to negotiate peace with the Song as soon as possible.

The Liao exerted their efforts on both sides of the Song and Xia, hoping to bring the Song and Xia back to peace so as not to threaten themselves.

On the side of the Song Dynasty, it was also in full swing, and it was necessary to consolidate and guard against the newly occupied cities.

In the busyness of the three parties, Xiao Tiancheng's carriage finally arrived at Gyeongju Mansion.

When he arrived, Zhao Xu also received the news of the death of the Empress Dowager Liang.

The military general of Gyeongju Mansion sighed and beat his chest, even Zhang Ji shook his head gently.

"It's a pity ......"

Zhao Xu shook his head lightly, if he could get the news as soon as possible, he could take advantage of it, maybe Xiping Mansion could be taken down, give Xixia a heavy blow, and even take the opportunity to destroy the country!

Zhang Qi quickly cleaned up his mood and said, "Official, now let's see what kind of attitude that Li Qianshun has." ”

The group of people immediately cheered up and looked at Zhao Xu.

As soon as the Empress Dowager Liang died, Li Qianshun was rightfully in power, and if he messed up and continued to fight desperately, it would be unfavorable to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu nodded, looked thoughtful, and said slowly: "Observe first, and order all people to improve their combat readiness by one level, and not slack off." Tell the brothers of the breeder to pay attention and observe. ”

Although the Western Xia lost troops and lost generals, it still had strength, and the Song army's battle line was too long and needed to be closely guarded.

Zhang Qi responded, and then said: "Official, the Liao envoy is about to arrive." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "Tonight, I will have a banquet for him alone to see what the attitude of the Liao Kingdom is." On the side of Hedong Road, we can't relax and keep an eye on all the Liao troops in the sixteen states of Youyun. ”

"Commandment." Zhang Qi raised his hand.

Zhao Xu saw that except for Zhang Qi, many people were a little nervous, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Even if Li Qianshun can't tell the difference, the current situation can't help him, so there is no need to worry." ”

Seeing Zhao Xu's relaxed expression, everyone relaxed, leaned over one after another, and said, "The ministers are stupid." ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand, picked up the teacup and drank tea, and his mind changed.

Almost all the goals of his war have been achieved, and now, it is to force the Western Xia to surrender and strive for peace for three or five years for the Song Xia and the Song-Liao border!

'Xiao Tiancheng, what purpose will you bring? Zhao Xu muttered to himself.

Outsiders, and even everyone, seem to have destroyed Xia at hand, but Zhao Xu, Zhang Qi and others know very well that the destruction of Xia, the Great Song Dynasty can't do it now, and it is far better to keep Western Xia than to destroy it.

Zhang Qi and the others went out, and they were very busy.

……

Xiao Tiancheng came to the outside of Gyeongju City, looking at the soldiers who came and went on patrol, and the people who escorted supplies, everyone's faces were filled with cheerful confidence, and his heart sank.

The military generals on the side were also observing, approached a little closer, and said in a low voice: "Shangshu, there is so much grain and grass, have the Song people made up their minds to destroy Xia?" ”

Xiao Tiancheng took a deep breath, shook his head, and said: "It's not that easy, not to mention that the strength of the Xia people still exists, it is not realistic for the Song people to travel a long distance to attack Xingqing Mansion, not to mention, there is also my Da Liao on the side." ”

The military general was stunned for a moment and said, "Then, the Song people will not destroy Xia?" ”

Xiao Tiancheng shook his head again and said, "This battle has reached this level, even if it is impossible, I will give it a try." ”

The military general stopped talking, and the situation was very embarrassing.

Xiao Tiancheng walked a few steps, looked at the nearby Qingzhou City, and sighed lightly: "If it weren't for the rebellions in my country, the mother department of Basi was hovering on the border of Liaoxia, and the Xia people needed to help, and it would not be like this......"

The rebellion in the Liao State has become more and more serious, dragging most of the Liao troops in the northwest direction, especially the Basi Mother Department, which seems to have the strength to threaten the Liao State Zuo, but it is uncertain, unwilling to fight a decisive battle, surrendering and revolting, going back and forth for many years, the Liao army dragged is exhausted, and it consumes an unknown amount of grain and grass.

The military general was also depressed and angry, and his face was ugly. He is a big Liao, when was he so embarrassed?

"Xiao Shangshu."

Before Xiao Tiancheng approached, a team of people suddenly greeted him, and a member of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward with a smile, raised his hand and said.

Xiao Tiancheng looked at his official uniform, frowned, and then said quietly: "There is labor." When will I be able to see your family? ”

The foreigner stood with his hands crossed, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, the official family approved the half-night music last night, just rested, in the evening, set up a banquet, please Xiao Shangshu go to the banquet on time." ”

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not avoid it, Xiao Tiancheng nodded slightly and said, "Please lead the way." ”

Yuan Wailang stretched out his hand, walked to his side, and suddenly said: "Your envoy, I am very curious, why did your country poison the Empress Dowager Liang?" ”

Xiao Tiancheng was stunned, seemed to be a little unresponsive, and said, "What did you say?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Tiancheng didn't seem to know, the more smiles on his face, the more he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, go to the city, enter the city ......."

Xiao Tiancheng stared at the side face of this foreigner, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The military general was even more so, he clearly heard clearly, 'Why did your country poison the Empress Dowager Liang?' What does this mean?

How could they poison the Empress Dowager Liang of the Xia people, this kind of thing, no matter how it sounds, it sounds very weird!

The two quietly glanced at each other, secretly vigilant in their hearts.

Xiao Tiancheng entered the city, and saw all kinds of weapons, armor, grain and grass, and all kinds of precious things piled up all over the city.

Xiao Tiancheng entered Gyeongju City, was arranged at the post station, just washed up, changed his clothes and came out, and the military general said with a solemn face: "Shangshu, we can't get out, there is no news." ”

They can't get out, and naturally no one else can get in.

Xiao Tiancheng was not surprised, his eyes looked solemnly at the Song people who came and went outside, and said: "What that foreigner said just now was not said casually, maybe something happened to Li Xia's side." ”

Just now, the Song personnel said that their Liao envoys poisoned Li Xia's Empress Dowager Liang, which sounds creepy!

A foreign envoy poisoned the curtain to listen to the government, and the queen mother of the dynasty who held real power thought it was incredible at first glance, but if you think about it deeply, there is a big problem here!

The military general looked uneasy and said: "Shangshu, if it is true, Li Xia's side will definitely rebound violently, and the situation will be out of control and difficult to grasp!" ”

The Liao people need peace in Song and Xia, in addition to the need to stand on three legs and maintain their own status, there is also the purpose of the Western Xia backstabbing the rebels within the Liao State!

The corners of Xiao Tiancheng's face twitched a few times, his eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said: "We still have no way of knowing the situation over there, I will test the tone of the Emperor of the Song State at night, no matter what, Li Xia cannot be destroyed by the Song people." After this battle, Li Xia is no longer the past, even if there is a big grievance, I have to endure it! ”

The military general nodded deeply, deeply convinced.

Among the Three Kingdoms, the Liao State was strong, the Song people were weak, and the Western Xia was poor.
