Chapter 449: The Battle of Lips and Tongues

Things have happened irreversibly, the general of the Liao Dynasty, the son of the emperor's brother Yelu Longqing, Yelu Dadan, was beheaded by the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, and all 100 people were wiped out without a lifetime, and the world was shocked for a while.

This is the first head-to-head confrontation between Song and Liao since the Tanyuan Alliance, and it is also the first time that the Great Song Dynasty has killed the defenders of the Liao Dynasty's border army!

The Liao Dynasty Emperor Yelu Zongzhen got the news almost at the same time as the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, and angrily kicked over the imperial case in the palace tent, and angrily beat the attendants who came to play the report.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! I asked him to stick to Flying Fox Ridge, and he actually dared to disobey my orders and watch the Song army! was killed by Da Song without leaking, it was clearly his stupidity that cost him his life, and also lost my face to Da Liao! ”

Everyone in the bowl was silent, and the current emperor became more and more concerned about face under the reputation of Song Tianzi, and even had some tendency to rejoice in his achievements, so he should first blame the Great Song Dynasty, rather than humiliate a dead royal family.

Zhang Jian came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if Yelu Dadan's own stupidity kills himself, he is my Great Liao Imperial Family after all, and he should be held accountable to the Great Song Dynasty, after all, he is in the front ......of the Great Song Dynasty military exercises."

Yelu Zongzhen slowly calmed down, waved the horsewhip in his hand and said, "Yes, bring the Great Song Dynasty envoy Zhou Chun, I want to be reprimanded!" ”

The attendant naturally left as if he had been amnestied, and the emperor's anger was everywhere in the bowl at this time, and he could take his life at any time......

Yelu Zongzhen sat on the tiger skin seat and sneered slightly: "Envoy Zhou Chun, there is good neighborliness and friendship between my Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty, and they have been at peace since the alliance of Tanyuan, and they have been commensurate with the country of brothers for many years, but now the Great Song Dynasty has killed the guards of my border army for no reason, this is to provoke the prestige of my Great Liao country, is it really like child's play?!" ”

Zhou Chun straightened his official uniform of the Great Song Dynasty, and saluted Yelu Zong in a proper manner: "Back to His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor, my Great Song Dynasty military exercise was already notified to the Liao Dynasty, and the soldiers were trained in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and there was no offense against the Liao Dynasty Land Qiu, however, during the military exercise, the Feihuling guard Yelu Dadan secretly took hundreds of personal soldiers, crossed the border of the Great Song Dynasty, bypassed the Huatazipu guards, and rushed for hundreds of miles to attack my Great Song Dynasty. Worthy of a brotherly country?! ”

Zhang Jian came out of the class and said: "He Yelu Dadan is also loyal to state affairs, even if he crosses the boundary, there is no need to kill him quickly, right?" ”

Zhou Chun looked at Zhang Jian's oppressive eyes and smiled: "Prime Minister Zuo is loyal to state affairs, and my officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are not the same, can it be that your courtiers of the Liao Dynasty are loyal to the country?" In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the cavalry of the Song people killed the invading enemy, is there anything wrong with this? ”

Zhou Chun's words made everyone shut their mouths, this is a matter of duty, there is nothing inappropriate, since the Great Liao military generals have violated the border, they must be prepared to be killed in the Song Land, and this result must be borne by the Liao people themselves.

To tell the truth, the Liao people are accustomed to this attitude of questioning the Great Song Dynasty from above, in their eyes, the Song-Liao border is actually a joke, and the strong soldiers of the Great Liao can return calmly even if they cross the border, which has become a habit of the Liao people.

Now the knight who grew up on horseback was suddenly killed in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the most unacceptable thing for them.

It was this sudden contrast that made the Liao people angry and fearful, and the atmosphere in the bowl was restless under Zhou Chun's tough response, and Yelu Zong was really furious: "Rampant! You Zhou Chun is in my big Liao bowl, and you have no apologies, he Yelu Dadan is a heavenly nobleman, even if there are 10,000 of them, they are not under the slaughter and butcher's knife! ”

Zhou Chun didn't care about the threat of the Liao Emperor at all, anyway, he was an envoy, if he died tragically in the Liao Dynasty because of the Great Song Dynasty's arguments, I am afraid that he would become the most tenacious and unyielding scholar in the Great Song Dynasty and even in the whole of China, and his name in history is the most basic.

Zhou Chun laughed: "Emperor Liao is also a person who reads poetry and books, and his ministers often hear that His Majesty is proficient in the essentials of Confucian classics, Ziyun: self-denial and revenge are benevolent." This is useful to the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also useful to the Liao Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty has endured it again and again, Yelu Dadan led a hundred horsemen to break into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is my Great Song Dynasty's self-denial that he does not kill the flower tower shop, but he Yelu Dadan does not know how to advance or retreat, and he is watching my Great Song Dynasty Shimenpu military exercise, which is unbearable! ”

At this time, Yelu Zongzhen was already annoyed and embarrassed by Zhou Chun's words, and waved the horsewhip in his hand to Zhou Chun.

The whip was whipped on his face, the voice was not crisp but had a tearing sound, Zhou Chun closed his eyes but did not feel the pain, and looked up at Zhang Jian standing in front of him, with a huge blood mark on his face......

The sudden change not only stunned Zhou Chun, but even the angry Yelu Zongzhen couldn't speak.

Blood flowed down, and Zhang Jian's face changed color: "Your Majesty is angry, the Great Song Dynasty is indeed guilty of killing Yelu Dadan." ”

"Zhang Jian?!"

The official in the bowl looked at Zhang Jian incredulously, what is this doing? As a courtier of Da Liao, how can he speak for the Song people? This sudden change even Zhou Chun, who was Song Chen, was speechless in surprise.

Zhang Jian bowed down and said: "However, the Great Song Dynasty also made a mistake, suddenly gathered 200,000 soldiers, and the Song and Liao border military exercises, this is a show off of military might, my Liao Dynasty guard will see this scene, it is the duty to explore the reason?" ”

Zhang Jian's words regained face for the Liao Dynasty, and Yelu Zongzhen nodded slightly: "The Great Song Dynasty advocates Confucian classics, don't you know that although the country is warlike, it will die?" Isn't Song Tianzi's military exercise another demonstration to my Daliao?! ”

Zhou Chun was silent, and under Zhang Jian's set of dialectics, Emperor Liao quickly moved back to the rhythm that was disrupted by himself, and focused on the military exercises of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhou Chunqiang said with a smile: "Although the country is big, the belligerent will die, but forgetting the war will be dangerous!" I have a great Song Dynasty to conquer the party, it is difficult to destroy Dali, in order to extinguish the heart of the war, but the territory is vast, and the soldiers must be prepared for more training in order to protect the country, and my emperor has his own national letter to be handed over to the Emperor of Daliao! ”

After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he handed over the national letter that the official family had prepared long ago in his arms.

Zhang Jian naturally took it over and handed it over to Yelu Zongzhen, the bright yellow Shu brocade is gorgeous and neat Feibai, and he can use the chic and elegant Feibai body so freely, Yelu Zongzhen has to admire Zhao Zhen's calligraphy.

But the content on the fruit tree surprised him even more, and after reading it, he said to Zhou Chun: "According to the meaning of the imperial brother, the military exercises of the Great Song Dynasty will end soon in the future, and the army will retreat to Tokyo City." ”

Zhou Chun nodded and said: "That's true, my Great Song Dynasty military exercise lasted for three months, and now because of the matter of Yelu Dadan, I withdrew ahead of schedule to show that Song Liao had no choice but to ......."

Yelu Zongzhen frowned slightly and said, "But what does the imperial brother mean, not only this military exercise, but how many times in the future?" ”

Zhou Chun said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, my emperor has a saying: the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty spend tens of thousands of dollars every year, if there is no military exercise, the combat strength of the soldiers will not be one in ten, and it is better to disband the matter than to waste the national funds!" The military exercise is imperative! ”

Yelu Zong really looked up to the sky and sighed: "The imperial brother is worthy of being a wise and decisive lord, but I will not be willing to be left behind!" ”

Zhou Chun nodded and said, "Your Majesty's Zhichen will definitely tell my emperor!" ”
