Northwest border pass of the Great Song Dynasty.

Because of a bounty order to kill monks in the Great Song Dynasty, a number of Jingguan temples have been piled up, and the heads of cult Buddhist monks are, of course, the heads of monks in Western Xia.

And Fan Zhongyan already knew that 1.2 billion yuan of incense money had been confiscated from the Buddhist temple, so he had begun to hate the current cult Buddhism, but now he was also wealthy.

But I don't want to bounty the order to kill the monk has not passed, and immediately with the peace between the two countries of the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, Yelu Longxu of the Liao State was annoyed and angry, and sent 100,000 iron cavalry to prepare to attack Western Xia.

So immediately after that, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but be as dignified and strange as Bao Zheng.

On a high slope at the junction of the two countries, the two generals of Northwest Shi Yuansun and Chong Shiheng are also by their side at any time.

Shi Yuansun suddenly couldn't help but say strangely: "My lord, you said that this Liao State sent troops to Western Xia, wouldn't it have something to do with Lord Zhao?" ”

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Zhao just went to Western Xia, but all the people in Western Xia were bald, if it has nothing to do with Lord Zhao, why didn't Li Yuanhao think of the bald order before?" And there has been news that the baldness order of Western Xia was indeed issued because of Lord Zhao.

and the death of Li Ningming, the prince of Western Xia, is also a very strange death, practicing qigong and starving to death? Why didn't he die in the past, he didn't die when he went to the Great Song Dynasty, as soon as Lord Zhao went to Western Xia, then Li Ningming died?

So although I don't know what means Lord Zhao used, I have no doubt that it must have something to do with Lord Zhao.

Then Li Yuanhao killed his mother Wei Mu clan again, and also killed the Yeli King and the Tiandu King who Cao couldn't help, and even robbed the wife of the Yeli King. ”

Fan Zhongyan suddenly couldn't help but stop when he spoke, because there was no need to say any more, but the three of them all knew that Li Yuanhao's plan to kill his henchmen Yeli King and Tiandu King was exactly Lord Zhao's plan.

I don't want Lord Zhao to just be captured and taken to Xixia, so I see that I am about to let that Xixia die, but Lord Zhao is too terrible.

So Fan Zhongyan stopped suddenly, and after a slight pause, he couldn't help but sigh like Liu Mo: "The traitor of the troubled times, the capable minister of the world, I'm afraid it's not enough to describe Lord Zhao;

If it is a troubled time at this time, I am sure that this world will only be Lord Zhao's, and no one will be Lord Zhao's opponent. ”

Suddenly, the more calm Chong Shiheng couldn't help but speak: "My lord, now the Liao Kingdom, Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty should also be regarded as troubled times, right?" ”

Finally, Shi Yuansun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it, but Fan Zhongyan was just silent, obviously acquiescing to the statement of Shiheng, but now it is also a troubled time, the battle between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, the battle between Liao and Western Xia, what is not a troubled time?

Suddenly, Shi Yuansun couldn't help but say strangely again: "My lord, you may guess what Lord Zhao will do next?" ”

Fan Zhongyan put his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Xixia and said, "Lord Zhao always makes it difficult for people to see something. But watching Lord Zhao act a few times, if I am not mistaken, this time I am afraid that the Liao State will be defeated. ”

Shi Yuansun couldn't help but immediately say: "How could the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Liao Kingdom be defeated by Western Xia?" ”

Fan Zhongyan pointed at Xixia and said, "But you have forgotten Lord Zhao!" Since he planned to let the Liao State fight the Western Xia, how could he let the Liao State win? Wouldn't that trap yourself in a tiger's den and make it difficult for you to protect yourself? Nine peaches

So this time, although I don't know how Lord Zhao planned it, Lord Zhao should be sure that he will defeat the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Liao State. At the same time, he will not let the Western Xia become stronger, and he will also use this battle to weaken the strength of the Western Xia, and Lord Zhao seems to be closing the net. ”

Finally, a gleam flashed in Chong Shiheng's eyes: "My subordinates understand, Lord Zhao wants to take advantage of this Liao State and Western Xia to fight, and at the same time weaken the forces of Liao State and Western Xia, this is just one of the steps;

Waiting for the next defeat of the Liao State, Lord Zhao will first close the net against the Western Xia, and really strategize and win thousands of miles away, Lord Zhao can indeed be the first genius and ghost talent of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is determined to be the whole world. ”

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, judging from Lord Zhao's plan for the battle of the Western Xia of the Liao Kingdom, and at the same time weakening the military strength of the two countries, Lord Zhao is indeed aiming at the whole world, and the key is not to know how far Lord Zhao can defeat the Liao State." ”

Shi Yuansun couldn't help frowning and thinking: "The 100,000 iron cavalry of the Liao Kingdom, even if Lord Zhao is very talented, but he has no soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, then it is impossible for Li Yuanhao to let Lord Zhao command the soldiers and horses of Western Xia;

So if I didn't guess wrong, Lord Zhao should let both sides lose, right? Otherwise, with the Western Xia soldiers and horses, even if they can defeat the 100,000 iron horses, it should be reluctant, and Lord Zhao is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice. ”

Fan Zhongyan also nodded: "That's right, I think the same way, the biggest possibility should be a lose-lose situation." But if both sides lose, it is not in line with the convenience of Lord Zhao in Western Xia.

That is, Lord Zhao must let the Western Xia really defeat the Liao State in order to gain a firm foothold in the Western Xia, so on the contrary, the Liao State may be defeated by 100,000 iron cavalry this time, but what I can't think of is, to what extent can Lord Zhao defeat the Liao State this time? ”

How far can a real 100,000 iron horsemen be defeated? Even if he is defeated, he can run, but Western Xia does not have so many iron horses, so how can he be defeated?

But it is the limit that the three of them can think of, after all, it is 100,000 iron horses who come and go in a hurry, and they can't catch up even if they want to.

The three of them couldn't help but be silent at the same time, and couldn't help but glance at the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty who were stepping up their training.

Shi Yuansun couldn't help but move in his heart again: "My lord, if Lord Zhao stays in Xixia for a while, he won't even die in the end, right?" ”

A sentence fell in an instant, Fan Zhongyan and Chong Shiheng couldn't help but have a strange flash in their eyes, that Lord Zhao was simply so terrifying that it was indescribable, it seemed really possible.

If in the end, Na Xixia died because of the capture of Lord Zhao, then the record of Lord Zhao in this history book is absolutely amazing, and the most important thing is that if it really happens, then the identity of Lord Zhao in the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

So Fan Zhongyan's eyes flashed with a moment of weirdness, and he couldn't help but say again: "You two wait and see, let's see how defeated the Liao Kingdom is, and whether Li Yuanhao of Western Xia will really die?"

If the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Liao State is defeated, and Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia dies again soon after, when my Great Song soldiers and horses attack the Western Xia, the two of you will desperately be the first to kill in front of Lord Zhao. The first person to kill in front of Lord Zhao will definitely impress Lord Zhao. ”

But although the two of them knew that they should try their best to gain the trust of that Lord Zhao, and it seemed that they would be able to have a prominent person in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, but was it really necessary to be the first to kill that Lord Zhao so deliberately?

As if he knew what the two of them were thinking, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "Do the two generals remember how Emperor Taizu ascended the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan?" ”

Finally, the words fell, and the two couldn't help but widen their eyes at the same time, and their hearts shook.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who heard that the Liao State had sent 100,000 iron cavalry, couldn't help but secretly leave Western Xia and fled towards the Liao State, but it was because of the plan of the two that they didn't want to provoke 100,000 iron cavalry from the Liao State for Western Xia.
