Chapter 1284: Lobbying the Heavenly Capital
Chapter 1284 Lobbying Tiandu
Su Lie stepped forward and helped Yu Zang Yingcheng up: "Don't worry, old general, I will keep him fine, this is also a no-fight and no acquaintance, hand over the command tail to me, and let you see the young general tonight." ”
Sure enough, that night, Yuzang Shuluo was brought back, and Yuzang Yingcheng Si had no doubts, and led the six big leaders of the whole clan to surrender.
With Yuzang Yingchengsi, a native of Tiandu Mountain, Li Xian let his subordinates take the lead and lead the way to the Tiandu Mountain South Mu Xing Palace!
……
Tiandu Mountain, Nanmu Palace, Li Wenzhao was as anxious as an ant on an iron pot.
Li Wenzhao is also having a hard time, since Yu Zang Huama, the official strategic partner of Western Xia, was driven away by Liang Yongneng, the supply of goods in the north has been cut off, and the materials he can trade with Tang Shilang have been seriously reduced.
After the huge income obtained by the trade commission was cut off, the output of the Tiandu Mountain region under his control alone could not meet the survival problem of the hundreds of thousands of people under his control.
And for example, around Dushan today, there are several Xia fierce generals, the most powerful of which is known as the first warrior of the Xia people, and the commander of the Baotai Army, Ren Duo Lingding.
Winter has come, and it is about to snow, and the winter clothes of his subordinates have not yet been purchased, and the military rations that could be obtained from the Baotai Military Division in the past are gone this year.
The war between Song and Xia made grain expensive in various places, and the harvest in Shanbei was destined to be greatly discounted this year because of the early harvest, and most of them were pulled to Xingling.
Xixia Hetao, the traditional grain production area, the price of wheat is expensive, and now it has reached the dou rice double!
The Great Song Dynasty used grain as a means of solicitation, so that a large number of low-level Xia people defected unwillingly, even if it was his own subordinates, many of them privately defected to the Song Dynasty and quietly led the grain back.
Li Wenzhao knew that he couldn't control this matter, so it was best to pretend not to know.
If you want to say how much loyalty Li Wenzhao still has to the Western Xia court, it is pure nonsense, the so-called "lonely and loyal pure minister" is just a character set up by Xiaoxiong for the sake of the current situation.
But this handful of characters has been sold out this year.
His heart is now full of regret, regret that he shouldn't follow Yuzang Huama's dead fat man, and want to take advantage of the fact that he is often imprisoned.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the estimation of the two, Song Xia's strength has gradually reversed over the years, and they are sandwiched between the two, and they can see it better than anyone else.
If the Xia State is in turmoil, the Song court will definitely intervene, and it will be a super-large-scale intervention, otherwise hundreds of thousands of troops will hoard money and grain on the border, and everyone knows that it is not a long-term solution.
Therefore, after the two discussed, they were ready to assume the glorious role of leading the party, and strengthen themselves in the Song and Xia wars, and finally become a prince, waiting for a better time to come.
However, the speed of the Great Song Dynasty's response to emergencies made Li Wenzhao hold a mouthful of old blood in his chest.
They deserved to be beaten by Emperor Jingzong back then!
Li Qing was killed last winter, and he was imprisoned at the end of last year, and he got the news in March, and then immediately informed the Great Song Dynasty.
As a result, the Great Song Dynasty was concerned about the "correct procedure" and launched the so-called "negotiation and consultation" with the Western Xia, and the envoys changed from Miao Zhu, Shen Kuo to Su You, three times!
It was not until the diplomatic envoys were promoted to the highest rank, and then the negotiations were still broken, that the Great Song Dynasty held the golden sign of "benevolence and righteousness" and declared war on the Xia State.
It has been delayed from March to August!
Da Song is not in a hurry, he and Yu Zanghua Ma are miserable.
Liang Yongneng took this opportunity to defeat Yu Zang Hua Ma, surrounded Tiandu Mountain, and sent his subordinates to fiercely defeat Yu Zang Yingcheng into four, Ren Duo and Ding, and Wei Ming's army entered several times, making the already not very wealthy family even worse.
Liang hated himself to the core, and this time he was really ruthless.
There's a cat at the bottom, a big cat at the bottom.
The biggest reason why the Liang family hates themselves so much is that the usual edict fell into the hands of the Song people.
Ming Mingyu Zanghua Ma told himself that he saw Li Qing being intercepted by Jialiang by the Yellow River, and the Song people and Li Qing didn't have time to contact at all, but why did the edict still magically appear in the hands of the Great Song officials? !
The explanation given to the Empress Dowager Liang by the secret room of the Privy Council of Western Xia was that there were two edicts of the usual clothes, one bright and one dark.
Mingli asked Li Qing to carry it, and in private, through one of Li Qing's servants, he had already handed it over to his own hands!
And then it was used as a bargaining chip for Song!
God is pitiful, although he has been holding high the banner of "sweeping the court and returning the government to the king", he can ...... But that's just a disguise!
The truth is that I have never had any contact with Bingchang!
But his "Asking for Liang's Tree" is too famous, and the character design is too stable, so stable that anyone takes it for granted that it is natural for everyone to hand over the edict to themselves.
Where is this Nima......
The servant came in with a bronze bowl containing some potato-grained soup, which had previously been worth five pounds, but could now only be used for such coarse meals.
There is no way, Yu Zanghua Ma ran away to the west, and he has lost a shipping channel, and this thing has been smashed for several months.
Using a delicate spoon to scoop up the potatoes and put them in his mouth, Li Wenzhao couldn't help frowning: "Why did you forget to put salt?" ”
The servant looked at his master in fear: "Salt...... No ......."
"The salt is gone?!"
In the Song and Xia trade, Li Wenzhao had experienced an unknown number of thousands of stones in his hands for the largest amount of goods, and now his subordinates actually told themselves that there was no salt in Tiandu Mountain!
"How is that possible?!"
The servant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a puff: "The marshal spares his life, the grain officer said that the army entered the mountain in a hurry a year ago, and there has been no harvest this year, and the whole ...... The whole mountain is out of salt......"
Li Wenzhao looked at the potatoes in the copper bowl: "Isn't it, the food is running out?" ”
The servant cried: "Don't worry, Dashuai, even if we go hunting, digging rat holes, and going down the mountain to rob the road, we won't be hungry Dashuai!" ”
Li Wenzhao threw the spoon back into the bronze bowl and looked up at the tall and old beams of Nanmu Palace: "I'm afraid I won't be able to live this day......"
"It doesn't stop there." A long laugh sounded at the door: "In the autumn of great changes, when the true hero takes advantage of the momentum!" ”
"Who?!"
A man at the door lifted the felt hat on his head: "How can Master Hou be so depressed? Wealth is coming! ”
Li Wenzhao looked at the man and sneered: "Li Langjun? Now I have entered my camp, but I don't need to communicate with it. ”
Li Yong smiled: "They are all their own brothers, why do you want to see outsiders like this?" Uncle, there is a great wealth to be given to you in the imperial court, didn't I rejoice in my heart, and I was busy coming in to tell you, and I accidentally forgot the etiquette? ”
Li Wenzhao said twice: "There are talented people in the country, and the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be full of talents today." Our generation is old, and the heroes of the future will be you......"
Li Yong said: "Before I came, Guogong specially explained to me, saying that the so-called heroes are all created by the times, but they are just choices made by people when they are facing a critical situation. ”
"Guogong said that the Hou Ye was able to resist the tyranny alone, and today he can take the lead in advocating the elimination of the king, not forgetting the teachings of the sage, keeping in mind the righteousness, and making the right choice at two critical moments in his life, and he is a well-deserved hero of Western Xia."
"There are many heroes, in the long history of mankind, in fact, such as Nong Zhigao, Li Changjie, He Li, etc., all of them are the wise and brave people in the clan."
"But these people are also an obstacle to civilization, whether it is for their own people or for the people of the world, what they bring is military disasters and disasters, and they are the destroyers of etiquette, righteousness, civilization and a better life, not builders and defenders."
"So they're not heroes."
"And Hou Ye is different, Hou Ye is a heroic Xia person, a famous ethnic group, the grandson of the sage master Fuping Hou, and a sage of the Lonely Loyal Jing Festival."
