Then, after a short time, they hurried back to Longzhou City.

Zhang Guangbao didn't take this matter too seriously.

Because in his mind, no matter whether the Western Xia can reach a peace with the emperor, there are internal worries like the four major military divisions, and the Western Xia will not have the energy to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty again.

Only the next day, in Changsha City, Zhongsun Guge went to the palace again to ask to see Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting still received him in the imperial study.

This year's summer seems to have been extraordinarily long.

In previous years, by the beginning of September, there would always be a cold snap approaching, making Changsha City much cooler. But this year, even in September, there seems to be no sign of a cold snap.

Zhongsun Guge, who was brought into the imperial study by the eunuch, and the eunuch who led him in front of him were all sweating.

The young Zhongsun Guge was even a little out of breath.

"Give tea."

When Zhao Dongting saw him, he bowed slightly to Gonggong Liu next to him. Then he smiled and asked Zhongsun Guge: "Lord Zhongsun, but you brought the meaning of the empress?" ”

When Zhongsun Guge saw Zhao Dongting like this, he knew that Emperor Song had already deduced the choice that the empress, Zhongsun Taishi and others would make. At the moment, I can't stop admiring it in my heart.

He bowed to Zhao Dongting and said, "I am willing to bow down to the Great Song Dynasty." In a few days, an envoy will come and present you with a courtier. ”

"Okay."

Zhao Dongting nodded and chuckled, "Then I wish our two countries can get along well for generations." ”

Zhongsun Guge had a smile on his face, but he was a little bitter in his heart.

The Western Xia capital is already about to become a subject state of the Great Song Dynasty, so what qualifications do they have to negotiate with the Great Song Dynasty on an equal footing?

He would never have said these words.

He only asked: "Then I don't know when Emperor Song plans to dismiss the Great Song soldiers in Chengdu Mansion?" ”

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said: "The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are staying in Chengdu Mansion, so what is the reason for dismissal. Rest assured, Lord Zhongsun, that I have already agreed to a truce with you, and I will never send troops to your Western Xia territory. ”

Before the official submission of the documents of the Western Xia to him, before the world knew about it, of course he would not let the officers and soldiers of the Shuzhong Military Region in Chengdu Mansion return to each other like this.

Although Zhongsun Guge was a little worried in his heart, he couldn't say anything more.

After a little silence, he said: "That is the case, then Zhongsun Guge retired first. ”

Zhao Dongting nodded.

Zhongsun Guge turned around and walked towards the outside of the imperial study.

From beginning to end, he did not ask Zhao Dongting if he would send troops to help them destroy the four major military divisions of the Western Xia Forbidden Army.

Because there's no need to ask.

The four major military divisions surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Empress Group also bowed to the Great Song Dynasty. Anyone can think that Da Song must choose to help in such a situation.

But what Zhongsun Guge didn't know was that when he left, Zhao Dongting sent a message to Zhang Guangbao, but Zhang Guangbao was always ready. If the Western Xia Forbidden Army is not the opponent of the four major military divisions, let the officers and soldiers of the Shuzhong Military Region enter the territory of the Western Xia and help the Western Xia Forbidden Army to destroy the four major military divisions.

In his heart, of course, the four major military divisions are far from being compared with the empress group.

Not to mention the relationship between him and Li Xiushu, it is just about Li Goxiao. Li will become the monarch of Western Xia in the future, how could Zhao Dongting watch his son's throne being taken away?

He can sit back and watch the four major military divisions and the Western Xia forbidden army kill each other, but he will never watch the four major military divisions destroy the empress group.

It was the next day.

When the envoys of the four major military divisions had not yet rushed back to Longzhou City, Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian led the army out of Qingchuan County after a little rectification.

Among them, the Western Xia forbidden army totaled 70,000 and the Qi Tian army 10,000. Then there are 30,000 soldiers each in the Gansu Military Division and the Xiangqing Military Division, which is more than 140,000 soldiers.

The tents that were originally scattered all over the mountains around Qingchuan County were removed in a short period of time, and 140,000 soldiers marched on the official road at the same time.

And behind the army, there are still countless people who have been requisitioned to escort grain and grass for the army.

These crowds were like long dragons, winding along the official road.

Under the scorching sun, the atmosphere of the war suddenly became extremely solemn.

And this news was learned by She Tuoli, Tuoba Wu and others not long ago.

The generals of the four major military regions hurriedly gathered in the Longzhou City Mansion.

As soon as they met, they all found the solemn look on their faces.

Before he could sit down, Tuoba Wu said: "I received a letter that Helian City, Qu Rujian and others are leading their troops to this Longzhou City, and the empress is afraid that she has already made peace with the Song Kingdom." ”

Rao was with She Tuoli's temperament, and he couldn't help but be so angry that he slapped his hands on the case, "Emperor Song is really a villain who doesn't believe in his words!" ”

As his words fell, the desk in front of him was shattered inch by inch, almost turning into powder.

Everyone was slightly moved by the martial arts strength he inadvertently displayed.

Tuoba Wu only asked again: "Brother She Tuo, what should we do now?" ”

She Tuoli gritted his teeth and said: "At the moment, although I don't know if Zhang Guangbao has promised us to withdraw the army, but the forbidden army of the Song State has no sign of going out. Now that Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian are leading their troops, it is difficult for us to avoid their obstruction if we want to retreat. For the sake of today's plan, I'm afraid that I can only blame them for killing you to the death. Instead of thinking about retreating, it is better to overthrow the combined forces of the empress, the Zhongsun family, and the Helian family! ”

The rest of the crowd looked even more solemn when they heard this.

Although they had already had the idea of meeting the Empress Bingfeng, they were still a little nervous at this moment. Because if they are defeated, the four major military divisions and their families will completely lose power. Even, nine times out of ten, the empress will drive them all out.

But as She Tuoli said, they have no time to make any more detours now, and they can only fight with Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian's army.

No one spoke in the hall for a long time, and She Tuoli said again: "You don't express your position, do you agree with my idea?" ”

But they did not speak.

"Okay."

She Tuoli said: "In this case, then please go back and rearm for war!" Let's wipe out Helian City and Qu Rujian's army in this Longzhou City, and then the army will drive straight in and pull the empress off the throne! ”

He said this murderously.

Everyone in the hall got up, arched their hands to She Tuo with a solemn expression, and then left.

On this day, all military districts inside and outside Longzhou City were in full swing.

All kinds of equipment for defending the city were moved to the head of the city and outside the camp.

The four major military divisions are ready to fight.

In Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Guangbao also got the news that Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian led their troops out of the city not long ago.

Only so, he still had no intention of leading the Great Song Forbidden Army out of the city.

After two days.

Zhao Dongting's letter arrived in Chengdu.

At the same time, Liu Zhuwen and others finally hurried to this Chengdu Mansion after returning to the realm of Shuzhong.

Zhang Guangbao was looking at Zhao Dongting's secret letter in the room, when he heard a report from the soldiers outside: "Deputy marshal, marshal, they are back!" ”

Zhang Guangbao couldn't help but stand up.

Then Liu Zhuwen's loud laughter sounded outside the house.

He walked into the house and said to Zhang Guangbao: "Brother Zhang, you have really worked hard these days. ”

Zhang Guangbao just smiled, walked up to Liu Zhuwen, and said, "Now that you come back, I can be relaxed." ”

Saying that, he handed Zhao Dongting's secret letter directly to Liu Zhuwen, "This is the emperor's secret decree that I just received." He told us to stand still. ”

Liu Zhuwen read the letter, groaned slightly, and said, "Then let's hold our troops first." ”

After that, there was a slight smile on his face.

No matter what the Western Xia Forbidden Army and the Four Great Military Divisions look like, this is not a bad thing in his opinion.

The two armies fought bloodily, and in the end they did not gain anything. The biggest winner of this battle is undoubtedly the Great Song Dynasty. Because before the war began, this peach had already been eaten by the Great Song Dynasty.

Outside the city of Longzhou.

Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian finally arrived here with a large army.

The army set up a large camp only five miles away from Longzhou City, and confronted the soldiers of the four major armies inside and outside Longzhou City.

The envoy who asked for retreat from Chengdu Mansion finally rushed back to Longzhou City.

Only their smiles dissipated after entering Longzhou City.

They didn't expect that Zhang Guangbao had just promised them to withdraw his troops, and Helian City and Qu Rujian had already pressed outside Longzhou City.

It looks like it was designed by the Western Xia and Song Kingdoms. And their four major military regions are like sheep in a pen.
