Chapter 372: Battle
Xiao Tiancheng was holding the chess pieces in his hand, but his eyes were on Zhao Xu's face.
This little emperor of the Song Kingdom spoke amazingly, which made his heart shake and he was hesitant.
Even if the Song people wanted to appease him Da Liao, there was no need for this, or was there other conspiracy in this?
Xiao Tiancheng did not continue to fall, his face sank like water, thinking hard about Zhao Xu's possible purpose.
Zhao Xu was still staring at the chessboard, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
His purpose is actually very simple: to support the Liao State!
The Liao State seems to be strong, but in fact it is the end of the strong crossbow, compared to the dying and decrepit Liao State, Zhao Xu is most vigilant about the Jurchen who destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty in history and is thriving!
He wants to renew the life of Liao, and at the same time find enough excuses for the Great Song Dynasty to go north in the future!
Isn't it nice to attack and defend the alliance? Perhaps at that time, the Liao Congress cried and shouted for his support.
Xiao Tiancheng couldn't figure out Zhao Xu's true thoughts, the chess pieces were held in the palm of his hand, for a long time, he looked at Zhao Xu and asked: "Your Majesty is wise, it is difficult for foreign ministers to think thoroughly, and I ask Your Majesty for advice." ”
Xiao Tiancheng didn't get too entangled, and directly chose the showdown.
I can't figure out what you're going to do, but we're not going to say yes, so let's just tell you what you're trying to do!
Zhao Xu was still staring at the chessboard and said, "You convey what you say, play chess and play chess." ”
Xiao Tiancheng can't see through Zhao Xu anymore, it's not who is teaching him to do things, judging from Zhao Xu's every move, the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty - there is a city mansion!
Xiao Tiancheng no longer underestimated Zhao Xu, took a secret breath, glanced at the chessboard, and said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, aren't you really worried that my Da Liao will suddenly send troops south?" ”
Zhao Xu's chess strength was not good, he looked at the chessboard, and said, "You have the ability to go south, didn't you go south early?" What are you waiting for? ”
Xiao Tiancheng's expression was cold, and he said: "Your Majesty, provoking my Da Liao will not have a good result, wait for my Da Liao to free up his hand?" An alliance of the abyss cannot extinguish the wrath of my Great Liao. ”
Zhao Xu laughed? looked at Chen Pi on the side and said, "Don't stop Chen Qiaoyi?" Let Zong Ze come to see me. ”
Tangerine peel stunned? According to the plan, the team is to be suspended at Chenqiaoyi? Recuperate.
But he didn't ask much, bowed down and said, "Yes?" The villain will go and pass the word. ”
Zhao Xu snorted? looked at Xiao Tiancheng and said, "Can you really fight a battle of the Yuanyuan?" ”
The alliance between the two countries is essentially a compromise between the two countries, and it can't be fought? It was a very hard fight before that.
Fortunately? At that time, it was Zhao San, the third generation of the Great Song Dynasty, and he still had some foundation.
By the time Zhao Xu was now, although the military was exhausted, the Liao State was even more unbearable. Not to mention that they are not in civil strife? The corruption itself hollowed out the Liao State. You know, Liao? That is, the establishment of the Khitan state was much earlier than that of the Great Song Dynasty.
His own people know about his own family affairs, Xiao Tiancheng was silent for a while? Said: "Your Majesty, it seems to be full of confidence? ”
In Xiao Tiancheng's opinion? Song Guo's move is simply looking for death? But the Song people did it? And not the stubbornness of the Emperor of the Song Kingdom!
Xiao Tiancheng was vigilant in his heart, his face did not move, and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the battle against Li Xia is also determined to win, I don't know where Your Majesty's confidence comes from?" ”
Xiao Tiancheng felt that Song Guo was even more unreasonable than Li Xia! The country is in turmoil, and even wants to lend money to officials, and now they are actually planning such a national war!
"I can trust my subjects, and I am confident!" Zhao Xu fell casually and said with a smile.
Xiao Tiancheng still had a stomach full of doubts, but he really couldn't talk about it this day.
"Play chess, play chess." Zhao Xu beckoned.
Xiao Tiancheng was absent-minded, still thinking about Zhao Xu's words just now, and he didn't know what kind of movement was caused when he passed it back.
Outside, many people were in a commotion because of 'not staying', and came to Chu You to explain the law.
When the army moves, it is inevitable that there must be sufficient grain and grass, and Chen Qiaoyi is their first stop to replenish grain and grass.
Chu You didn't answer them at all, he just asked to 'do what he wants'.
There was no chaos, the army passed through Chenqiaoyi, a place where the Zhao family was developed, and there were no waves.
At the time of Zhao Xu's personal expedition, the army of Western Xia had already been assembled and was rushing to Huanqing Road.
If the Western Xia wanted to attack the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, there were not many roads to choose, especially after losing many fortresses.
In the army, the famous Ah Shan came out of the luxurious imperial sedan chair of the Empress Dowager Liang, got on his horse with a respectful expression, and continued to lead his army.
After walking for a while, a guard behind him stepped forward and whispered, "General, the letter just delivered." ”
Wei Ming Ah Shan took it with an expressionless face, opened it, and pulled out the letter, but it seemed that his expression changed suddenly.
Since he returned to Great Xia, the Song people have not contacted him, and this is the first time.
Looking at the ciphertext that was familiar to him, after a simple translation, his face became more and more ugly, and he pulled out the next piece of paper.
After reading it quickly, Wei Ming's expression changed.
This is the 'answer' of Wei Mingbai, but it is not the copy written by Wei Mingbai himself.
Ashan looked at the content on it, his eyes angry.
These 'answers' indicate that there are still people in the Song people in Great Xia!
If he wants to fool and conceal it in the future, he will have to think twice!
Thinking that the war was imminent, the Song people suddenly sent this thing, and its meaning was self-evident!
Wei Ming's expression changed for a while, pulled the cronies behind him, and said in a low voice: "Don't leak it out." ”
"Yes!" The subordinate was startled and hurriedly responded.
Wei Ming Ah Shan pushed him, calmed down for a while, and quickly analyzed various situations in his heart.
He didn't know anything about the arrangement of the Song people, but he knew almost everything about the Xia side.
Wei Ming Ahan thought in his heart, and his heart was still struggling, what should he do if the Song Dynasty wanted him to transmit the military arrangements of the Xia Kingdom.
In the anxiety of Wei Ming Ashan, the army of the Xia people set off from Cong Xingqing Mansion and went all the way to the front of Huanqing Road.
Asan looked at the continuous fortress, knowing that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but he didn't say anything.
The Xia army pressed the border, and did not attack at the first time, but 'saluted first and then soldiers'.
When they came to Huanqing Road, the request made by the Xia people was very simple: return their walled city, and the New Year's coins would still be the same.
Huanqing Lu dared to call the shots, and made excuses to send this team of envoys to Qinfeng Road, while preparing, trying to continue to delay time.
The Song Dynasty was not well prepared, and some strategic plans were not in place.
At this time, Zhao Xu arrived at Qinfeng Road, and Zhang Ji came with a group of people to greet him.
Zhao Xu waved his hand, turned to Xiao Tiancheng, and said with a smile: "I and Mr. Da Song's sincerity have seen it, I really hope that Song Liao can really be like a family, and there will never be ice disasters, which is the greatest happiness of the people of our two countries." ”
Xiao Tiancheng was already somewhat immune to Zhao Xu's words, and he didn't know how many times he said them along the way, but he was about to be able to memorize them.
Xiao Tiancheng glanced at Zhang Qi and the others, and said, "The foreign minister must bring the words, please rest assured." ”
Zhao Xu had a reassuring expression on his face, suddenly looked at Zhang Qi, and said, "Xia Ren didn't act immediately?" ”
"The minister suspects fraud." Zhang Qi said.
