Chapter 227: Escorting the Golden Buddha

Great Song Tokyo, Imperial Palace.

A mass of figures crisscrossed the sky, and the shadows of halberds flew and galloped like thunder, and it was difficult for those watching from a distance to distinguish them, and they could only see the phantom of a courtyard.

"Your Majesty!"

Lehe shouted loudly from afar.

After one move, the phantom dissipated, and the three figures stood in the middle, Zhao Huan handed the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd to Yu Baosi on the side, and walked towards Lehe, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng followed behind.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty! Long Ying sent a letter, three days ago, the Liao State Shangjing was lost, and the defenders of the whole city surrendered to the Jin people, but they were half killed by the Jin people. ”

Dragon Shadow, the code name of Chen Hoop Barrel.

Chen Hoop bucket letter, then this news is undoubted.

The Liao State has finally lost its capital!

Waiting for this day, Zhao Huan has been waiting for three months.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed since he returned from Jiangnan, and he had been waiting for news from the north for three months.

"The time has come!"

Zhao Huan's spirits perked up, "Lehe, immediately notify you and start working!" ”

"Yes!"

Lehe left in a hurry.

Soon, more than a dozen fast horses galloped towards the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng immediately said goodbye to Zhao Huan and left, and Zhao Huan turned around and entered the Qinzheng Palace.

A moment later, three young knights dressed in ordinary clothes walked out with a halberd on their shoulders; A quarter of an hour later, the six figures rode out of Tokyo City and headed straight north.

In the city of Tokyo, Zhongshu Ling Pu Wenying suddenly announced that Zhao Huan was accidentally injured in practice and may need to be recuperated for a while; In the coming days, I ask all the Auxiliary Ministers to do their duty and not to delay the affairs of the country.

Li Gang, Wen Huanzhang, Li Zhu, Song Jiang and other ministers each went to the palace to visit Zhao Huan, and when they came out, they all had sad faces, but they told the other ministers that "the official family has nothing to do, but they just need to be raised", which caused other officials in Tokyo to worry.

On this day, the envoys of the Liao State came to urge the Golden Buddha as usual, and Li Gang, who had not met him, took the envoys of the Liao State to the Daxiangguo Temple for the first time and saw the huge golden Buddha that was two people high.

"Your Excellency, please look!"

Li Gang pointed to the Golden Buddha and said: "Don't hide it from your envoy, this Golden Buddha is not pure gold, but it is far better than pure gold!" ”

"The interior of this golden Buddha is the jade Buddha carved from the eighteen famous mountains and precious jade collected from all over the Song Dynasty, and then the eighteen jade Buddhas were cast together by ten thousand gold gold, and the incense was received for seven hundred and forty-nine days in this great Xiangguo Temple, and now it has been completed! Your envoy can be transported back to Liao at any time. ”

Li Gang looked at the Liao envoy and smiled.

The Liao envoy next to him was already full of misty water, and his saliva was about to flow down.

Eighteen precious jade Buddhas!

10,000 catties of gold!

7749 day of incense in the Great Xiangguo Temple!

Which one alone is rare in the whole world, let alone a whole?

Seeing this Golden Buddha, if Emperor Tianzuo is not happy, or does not reward him, he would rather kill himself in public!

He clearly remembered that when he was sent to the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Tianzuo looked so desperate.

It's been three and a half months since I came to Da Song, and I can finally go back!

As for the authenticity of the Golden Buddha, he was not worried at all, because this Golden Buddha was equivalent to being completed under his nose, and he assured that what Li Gang said was absolutely not mixed with a little water.

"Luck! Ship it today! Shipped back to Liao! Lord Li, you must send more people to escort you, such a big golden Buddha ......"

"Your envoy can rest assured!" Li Gang said with a smile, "This golden Buddha weighs 10,000 catties, and every step is difficult. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless Western Xia or the Jin State send troops to rob it!"

"What? Never! ”

Li Gang's words startled the Liao envoy, but he immediately thought that this was not groundless, but very possible, it was 10,000 catties of gold, equivalent to several years of taxes in Liao, which country was not moved?

"Master Li! Send troops to escort you! Send a heavy escort! ”

Li Gang shook his head: "Your envoy! Sending troops is not a trivial matter, and sending troops at will is more likely to cause misunderstanding in your country! Cannot! Cannot! ”

"Master Li! I beg to see the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty, he ...... He's not feeling well, so don't bother him! ”

"That'...... Is this okay: your country sent heavy troops to transport the Golden Buddha to the border of the Liao and Song Dynasty in Xiongzhou, Hebei Province, and the envoy quickly returned to Zhongjing to meet His Majesty Tianzuo, and asked the old man to decide whether the Great Liao sent troops to meet him or the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to escort him - I think the decision of the Emperor of Liao will definitely be firmly supported by the Great Song Emperor! ”

The Liao envoy glanced at Li Gang with a swaggering and slightly threatening look.

Li Gang didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Your envoy is right! My Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has already decreed that the matter of the Golden Buddha is all up to the Liao State to decide! ”

"That's fine!" The Liao envoy said happily, "Master Li, let's find a way to transfer troops...... Well! At least 100,000 ...... No, more than 200,000 people, preferably 300,000 people, escort the Golden Buddha to Xiongzhou! It's best to get started today! ”

"Three hundred thousand?"

Li Gang was stunned, and carefully looked at this Liao envoy who had only met two or three times, as if he had seen a peerless fool.

300,000 Song soldiers entered the Liao realm, you are really not afraid of Liao!

Why did Yelu Yanxi, that big fool, send a fool like himself as a messenger?

However, he reacted immediately - this Liao envoy still does not know the current combat effectiveness of the Song army, nor does he know the news of the fall of the Liao State in Beijing, and it seems understandable that such an idea of underestimating the Great Song Dynasty and having extreme trust in his own country can be understood.

300,000 Song troops, this is what you said!

"Your Excellency! There is no war in the Great Song Dynasty now, and you can send as many military horses as you want! But I'm going to leave today, and it's a little too late...... Is this okay, anyway, the surrounding area of Tokyo is still safe, I will first send 30,000 people to protect the Golden Buddha first, and set off today; The other soldiers and horses set off within two or three days, ensuring that they could be guarded by more than 200,000 Song troops when they arrived in Hebei. ”

The Liao envoy was overjoyed: "That's it!" Master Li is worthy of being the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has courage! Okay, let's start now, I'll send someone back to Zhongjing to ask for the holy decree now, whether or not to let the Great Song military horses escort it, this envoy will let His Majesty give a clear instruction! ”

"But ......"

Li Gang's face was worried, and Liao Envoy's heart suddenly sudden: "What? What are Lee's concerns? ”

Li Gang sighed: "Don't hide it from your envoy, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, my Great Song Dynasty has greatly reduced the old and weak in the army, so that the original 1.5 million forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty is only 800,000, and the 800,000 forbidden army around Tokyo City is less than 200,000, and I still have to protect Tokyo...... Well, I think the forbidden army on this side of Tokyo can only move 50,000 people at most; There are still 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses on the Hebei side, but they must guard against Tian Hu; In my opinion, the most recent one can only mobilize the elite of Kansai - that is the most elite soldier and horse of my Great Song Dynasty! ”

"It would be great if there was an escort from the Great Song Western Army!"

"But what if Xixia takes advantage of the emptiness to call?"
