When Kou Zhun heard this, he was secretly annoyed: "The old man asked you to read the Taizu system, didn't you read a word?" ”

Kou Ji said weakly: "Look...... Looked. ”

"Phew~"

Kou Zhun took a sip and scolded in a low voice: "If you really look at it, you won't know what the bell represents?" The bells in the palace, different times, represent different things.

The bells just now were to tell the hundred officials that there was an urgent military situation and that the hundred officials needed to go to the court to discuss the matter. ”

Kou Ji suddenly realized.

Kou Zhun was too lazy to discuss this topic with Kou Ji again, he got into Kou Ji's bus and urged Kou Ji: "Don't go and change into official clothes and push the old man into the palace." ”

Kou Ji looked confused and questioned: "Grandfather, you can stand up when you can stand up, why do you still ......?"

Before Kou Ji finished speaking, he heard Kou Zhun say dissatisfiedly: "The old man is willing, can you manage it?" ”

Kou Ji instantly shut up, went back to his courtyard, changed into official clothes, and pushed Kou Zhun to go to the court.

Kou Zhun obviously recovered his legs and feet, but he still refused to get up on the Kou bus, and no one had a temper to take him.

The ancestors and grandsons rushed all the way to the gate of the palace, and saw countless officials hurrying into the Donghua Gate.

Since it was an urgent summons, the officials did not need to wait in front of the Donghua Gate, and after arriving at the Donghua Gate, they could directly enter the palace.

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun all the way across the Jinshui Bridge, entered the Donghua Gate, and appeared on the vertical arch hall.

After their ancestors and grandchildren arrived at the vertical arch hall, the officials had basically arrived.

Zhao Zhen had already sat down on the dragon chair, and the officials also found their position and stood up according to their own trains.

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun up the imperial stairs, and waited until Kou Zhun sat down.

Chen Lin slowly announced.

"Go to court!"

Since Liu E was kicked out of the Vertical Arch Palace, Guo Huai was also kicked out of the Vertical Arch Palace.

Now all the shouting work on the vertical arch hall is taken over by Chen Lin.

After Chen Lin shouted, the officials saluted Zhao Zhen and bowed to Kou Zhun.

After the salute, they stood still and said nothing.

Chen Lin handed a volume of emergency documents to Kou Zhun, and after Kou Zhun read it carefully, he asked people to hand it to Xiang Minzhong.

After Xiang Minzhong saw it, he slowly passed it to the privy envoy Cao Yu.

Cao Yong was watching with the paperwork, Xiang Minzhong faced the hundred officials, and slowly said with a solemn expression: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, personally led an army of 500,000, in the name of hunting, through the outer Yunzhou, out of the east of Shengzhou, with the two armies of Heqing and Jinsu on the Liao land outside the border of Western Xia, a total of 600,000 people, to attack Western Xia.

A few days ago, the Liao army had broken through the castle of Muna Mountain (that is, Wula Mountain in later generations) and invaded the territory of Western Xia.

At present, the Liao army is divided into two, led by the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, personally led an army of 400,000, down the river, through Huedu, Weicheng Province, Dingzhou, and approached Xingzhou.

Another army of soldiers and horses, totaling 200,000, led by Xiao Jiyuan, the prime minister of Beifu, and Daridi, the Taibao of Wenban, crossed the Yellow River and went straight to the city of Wuthorn Sea in the north of Western Xia.

According to the posture of the Liao army, Xiao Jiyuan, the prime minister of Beifu, and Daridi, the Taibao of Wenban, led 200,000 soldiers and horses to sweep the northern territory of Western Xia after breaking through the city of Wuthorn Hai, and then waved their troops south, took Lou Bobei City, Grain City, and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu in Dingzhou round, and marched into Xingzhou together.

At present, Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, has ordered all the soldiers and horses in Western Xia to enter a state of readiness. ”

600,000 Liao troops suddenly appeared in Muna Mountain and broke through the fortress of Muna Mountain, which really frightened Li Deming, the king of Western Xia.

Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, reacted first to Yelu Longxu wanting to kill him.

After all, since Yelu Longxu ascended the throne, he has fought in the north and south for many years, and he has rarely lost.

Among the nations, it has always been a hegemon-level existence.

Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, has always sought benefits from the Liao State, but he has never had the intention of going against the Liao.

Because he knows very well that with the power of Western Xia, he can't do anything about the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, when facing the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, has always been very respectful.

He really didn't understand what he had done wrong to provoke Yelu Longxu to kill him.

When Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, learned that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led an army of 600,000 to attack, he felt that he was going to be cold.

But he didn't sit still.

It's about rebelling.

And it was a desperate rebellion.

In the territory of Western Xia, everyone who could fight, whether old or weak, women and children, was recruited by him into the army to resist the invasion of the Liao army.

It can be said that in the face of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's attack, Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, was fighting against the Liao army with the intention of trying everything he could, even if he lost, leaving nothing for the Liao State.

……

The civil and military officials in the Great Song Dynasty were at a loss after learning of this.

One by one, they stood in place and were stunned for a long time.

When Li Di was quiet on the vertical arch hall, he frowned and said suspiciously: "Why did the Liao people attack Western Xia, before that, there was no sign at all?" ”

Manchao Wenwu raised his head and looked at Xiang Minzhong, waiting for Xiang Minzhong's answer.

Xiang Minzhong coughed dryly, and said with a strange expression: "The old man said, you may not believe it, but this is the truth." ”

When Li Di heard this, he was a little anxious and urged: "What is the reason?" ”

Xiang Minzhong coughed again, and tried his best to put on a serious look and said: "Last year, when the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu attacked Goryeo, he was afraid that the Western Xia would cause chaos behind his back, so he specially sent an envoy to the Western Xia to appease Li Deming, the king of the Western Xia.

Can...... As soon as the Liao envoy entered the Western Xia, he was robbed by the Western Xia soldiers and horses......

Because of this, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent his troops to Western Xia. ”

When the Manchu civil and military heard this, they looked confused.

Just because the Western Xia soldiers and horses robbed the Liao envoys, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led an army of 600,000 to attack the Western Xia?

How do you listen to it, why do you think this excuse is a bit sloppy.

Kou Zhun saw that the Manchu Dynasty was a little confused, so he explained: "The soldiers and horses of the Western Xia snatched the envoys of the Liao State, which can be regarded as the tiger whiskers of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu. In the eyes of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, the only person in the world who can be his enemy is my Great Song Dynasty.

Little Xixia also dared to break ground on his head, and he naturally couldn't tolerate it. ”

In the eyes of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, looking around, the only one who can wrestle with him is Da Song.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty defeated him, and when their Liao army invaded south, they repelled the Liao army countless times.

Even so, Da Song is also obedient to him.

A small Western Xia, not even a country, dares to touch his tiger whiskers, if he doesn't knock and beat, he won't go to heaven?

Speaking in detail, it was not his fault that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu attacked Western Xia at all, and it was purely that Western Xia himself was looking for death.

Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, has been a little floating since he was between Song and Liao, and he has frequently profited and made Western Xia stronger.

I feel that after the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao, there is the leader of a hegemonic country.

Therefore, after the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou provoked the Western Xia and occupied the military, economic, and political powerhouse of the Western Xia, Xiliang, he decisively led his troops to teach the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou a lesson.

And then defeated.

Annoyed and angry, he gave a mediocre order.

Road closures.

Blocked roads along the entire Hexi Corridor.

The purpose was to seal off the Ganzhou Uighurs, so that they could not contact the Great Song and Great Liao, and ask for help from these two overlords.

He ordered his troops and horses to plunder all the envoys of the Uighurs from Ganzhou to the Great Song and Liao.

Whenever the Great Song and Great Liao went to meet the envoys of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, they plundered the same.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal.

After all, everyone can understand the unscrupulous means of hostile strength.

But the people under his hands robbed the envoys and plundered easily, and the envoys sent by the Liao State to appease Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, were plundered.

It angered the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu subdued Goryeo, freed his hand, immediately waved his horsewhip, and rushed to Western Xia to teach him to be a man.

……

When the Manchu Dynasty heard Kou Zhun's explanation, he still felt incredible.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Qinruo spoke: "No matter what, it is a foregone conclusion that the Liao State will attack Western Xia. Next, it will be up to the imperial court to respond to this matter. Is it to help when Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, was beaten and asked for help from my Great Song Dynasty, or did he let Western Xia and Liao fight to the death, and we sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight? ”

Cao Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Can't you take the opportunity to send troops and bite off a piece of meat?" ”

Wang Qinruo shook his head and said: "No, if the Western Xia dies, the next thing the Liao people will have to deal with must be my Great Song Dynasty." Everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth. Whether to help the Western Xia and keep a force against the Liao people for my Great Song Dynasty can be considered.

But if you take the opportunity to occupy the territory, it will undoubtedly invite trouble.

If you join forces with the Liao people and carve up the Western Xia, when the Liao people finish digesting and occupy the territory of the Western Xia, they will inevitably attack our Great Song Dynasty.

This is the way of self-destruction, and it is not advisable. ”

Kou Zhun, Cao Yu, and Kou Ji frowned when they heard this.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, some nodded, and some shook their heads with their mouths choked.

Cao Yu said in a deep voice: "Then what if you take the opportunity to go to Liao Guo and bite off a piece of meat?" ”

Wang Qinruo was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Is it a provocation to the Liao State?" My Great Song really wants to take the opportunity to send troops to the Liao State, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu will not give up Western Xia and attack my Great Song Dynasty, which is still the way to die.

Maybe they'll die sooner.

Not advisable. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people in the court nodded.

Kou Zhun also nodded nonchalantly.

Only Kou Ji frowned secretly.

Kou Zhun looked at Wang Qinruo and said indifferently: "You don't have to dwell on this matter. The old man and the queen mother have already made up their minds about this matter. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The eyes of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military fell on Kou Zhun together.

Wang Qinruo took a step forward, approached Kou Zhun, and asked, "The Taishi and the Empress Dowager have long known that the Liao people are going to attack Western Xia?" ”

Kou Zhun nodded without concealment, and said, "As early as the end of last year, the old man and the queen mother knew about it. ”

The Manchu civil and military forces were in an uproar.

Wang Qinruo gritted his teeth and said, "Then how did the Grand Master and the Queen Mother learn about this?" ”

Kou Zhun concealed Kou Ji's shadow in this matter, and said indifferently: "Naturally, it was found from the notes sent from all over the country. ”

"What's the note?"

"About the Liao State sending people to buy grain and grass from my Great Song Dynasty behind their backs."

"Can I check it?"

"Yes."

“……”

The stakes are high.

Wang Qinruo frequently questioned Kou Zhun, and there was a posture of representing hundreds of officials.

Kou Zhun was not angry because Wang Qinruo questioned him, except for hiding Kou Ji's shadow in it, the rest of the questions were answered.

Wang Qin wanted to check Kou Zhun to find out that the Liao people were attacking Western Xia, but Kou Zhun did not stop him.

Immediately, let the eunuchs go to the place where the music was stored, and took the music with the news of the Liao people's purchase of grain and grass to the vertical arch hall for the hundred officials to consult.

Wang Qinruo, Li Di, Wang Zeng and others, on behalf of the hundred officials, stepped forward to carefully inspect those performances.

Li Di said angrily: "It turns out that Huainan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, as well as Dai, Tang, Deng and other prefectures have a grain shortage, which is a ghost caused by the Liao people. ”

Wang Qinruo's focus has never been on food shortage.

After reading the song, he faced Kou Zhun and asked: "Taishi, it is true that the Liao people bought grain in my Great Song Dynasty, but how did Taishi buy grain from the Liao people and guess that the Liao people were going to attack Western Xia?" ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he carefully explained the Liao people's unusual overtures to the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Liao people's purchase of grain and grass in the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with the analysis of the situation between various countries and vassals, to Wang Qinruo and the Manchu Dynasty.

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu listened to it and looked stunned.

They couldn't help but admire Kou Zhun in their hearts.

It is really powerful to be able to link so many clues together and deduce the intention of the Liao people to mobilize troops.

But Wang Qinruo didn't mean to stop there, he stared at Kou Zhun and said in a deep voice: "Taishi just said that after you found out about this matter, you and the Queen Mother dealt with this matter, I don't know how the Taishi and the Queen Mother decided?" ”

Kou Zhun said frankly: "After the old man and the queen mother discussed, they decided to take the opportunity to send troops to open up territory for my Great Song Dynasty. The old man and the empress dowager first promised the two families the right to act cheaply, and their intention was to let the two families take the opportunity to send troops to contain both sides during the war between the Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom.

Subsequently, the old man and the empress dowager sent Ding Wei as the supervisor of the army, and Li Zhaoliang as the marshal of the conquest, leading the three armies of Datong, Yongxing, and Gande, with a total of 150,000 horses in six compartments, to rush to the battlefield.

As long as the Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom fought each other, the soldiers and horses of the two families could take the opportunity to contain them.

As soon as the imperial army arrived, they would naturally be able to take the opportunity to tear off the flesh from the Western Xia and expand the territory for our Great Song Dynasty.

When Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, invaded by the Liao army, he would inevitably mobilize the elite soldiers and horses of Western Xia to resist the Liao army.

The defenders in the cities everywhere must be some old and weak women and children.

If my Great Song Dynasty takes advantage of this to send troops, he will definitely be able to drive straight in. ”

Wang Qinruo stared at Kou Zhun, squinted, and sneered: "What does the Taishi mean is that you and the Queen Mother have mobilized no less than 150,000 people and horses to participate in this big battle without hiding from hundreds of officials?" ”

Without waiting for Kou Zhun to speak, Wang Qinruo asked in a loud voice: "What is the position of the Taishi and the Queen Mother?" ”

When the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they nodded vigorously.

Wang Qinruo shouted loudly: "The Taishi and the Queen Mother obviously can't trust us, so they didn't tell me about such a big thing." The Taishi and the Queen Mother obviously didn't care about us, so they would hide it from us, and they would send troops without consulting with us.

However, did the Taishi and the Queen Mother ever think that no matter whether they won or lost this battle, it would be unfavorable to our Great Song Dynasty.

If this brings trouble to my Great Song Dynasty, who can bear it?

When the Liao soldiers came to the city, did the Taishi invite himself to beg for bones, or did the Empress Dowager invite herself to eliminate the throne? ”

As soon as Wang Qin's words landed, there were imperial historians who came forward to support his words and questioned the matter of sending troops this time.
