Empress Dowager Xiao thought about it in her heart and immediately became excited; While pacing in the palace tent, he said with a smile: "Li Jiqian, this kid really has two brushes, and he planned such a grand blueprint before he ascended the throne!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao said happily, looked at Han Derang on the side, and said, "King Wenzhong listened to the words of Li Jiqian's three envoys, and what did he think?" ”

Han Derang pondered for a moment and said: "Li Jiqian is a generation of heroes, and the minister thinks that Da Liao wants to canonize him as the king of Western Xia!" ”

Seeing Han Derang say this, Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and said: "Li Jiqian became the head of a place at the age of twelve, and his vision and ambition complement each other; At that time, his brother Li Jisheng was dissatisfied with the inheritance issue, and in a fit of anger, he led his troops to submit to the Song Dynasty; and also dedicated the land of the party members to the Southern Dynasty, Li Jiqian had different opinions on this: he believed that land was the greatest wealth of the party members, and only firmly in his own hands was the most reliable; So he went north to seek help from the Liao Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty vigorously supported Li Jiqian in order to use the party members to balance the Northern Song Dynasty, so that the party project has made great progress; Li Jiqian can become the founder of the party and the country! ”

After a pause, he raised his arm and said: "Since King Wenzhong said that he canonized Li Jiqian as the king of Western Xia, the empress dowager will depend on you!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao said solemnly: "King Wenzhong immediately arranged for him to make a proclamation and canonize Li Jiqian as the king of Western Xia!" ”

Zhang Pu, Li Hui, and Xifeng Weiwei all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank Xiao Zhuo when they heard Xiao Zhuo say this.

Han Derang replied to Empress Dowager Xiao's edict and said, "The minister will arrange for the edict to be made as soon as possible!" ”

He cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Li Jiqian and Li Jishou are both from Xiazhou, and they are brothers of the same clan and belong to the same party nobles; But he has taken two completely different paths in life! ”

Han Derang walked around the palace tent with his hands behind his back as he spoke, turned around and continued: "At the beginning, Li Jishang's prestige was greater than Li Jiqian's, but he was short-sighted and had no ambitions; because he was dissatisfied with the question of his father's establishment of an heir, and because of this, he was at odds with his brothers; In a fit of anger, he led a part of his loyal clansmen to submit to the Song Dynasty, and announced that he would unilaterally hand over a large area of land that originally belonged to Western Xia to the Song Dynasty! ”

Zhang Pu took Han Derang's words and grinned: "It seems that Han Gong still knows about my master's affairs!" ”

Han Derang glanced at Zhang Pu, and Zhang Pu said indifferently: "Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi was very happy to see Li Jisheng present the land atlas, not only in the palace to entertain Li Jisheng and his party; also rewarded them with a lot of property and named Li Jitou as a festival envoy, and Li Jizhui also had thoughts; He actually took the gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by Song Taizong to set up a pawnshop in Bianjing City, what is it called Hongyun Pawnshop! ”

Han Derang laughed and said: "Li Jizhuan, this guy can peel the skin on the black beans, and he actually used the reward of the emperor of the Song Dynasty to set up a pawn shop; What a dog with a sharpened head and a fortune! ”

Han Derang said with ill intentions, frowning and saying: "Zhao Guangyi tried to annex the land of the party members in a peaceful way, but Li Jiqian resolutely opposed it; He saw very clearly that the five continents of the Northland, Xia, Yin, Sui, Jing, and Yu, and even the four continents of Feng, Fu, Lin, and Hong, together were Kyushu where the people of the Dangxiang clan lived for generations, so how could they be easily given to others? The land is the most reliable only in its own hands, so he sought the help of the Liao Dynasty; The queen of my family realized the importance of the northern land and Kyushu from the very beginning, so she married the daughter of the clan to him! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao's expression became excited, and she also stomped up in the palace tent, and said while pacing: "The reason why Empress Dowager Ben let Li Jiqian become the son-in-law of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom is not for the northern Kyushu; As long as the northern Kyushu is in the hands of Li Jiqian, the Song Dynasty will have a big brother question mark if it wants to cross the border to attack Daliao! ”

"The Empress Dowager Shengming!" Zhang Pu took the opportunity to say to him: "My master is very angry at Zhao Guangyi's attempt to annex the land of the Dangxiang people, and Zhao Guangyi's decision is undoubtedly a failure; This policy directly led to the hatred of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Western Xia, and it was hoped that the Empress Dowager and His Excellency the King Wenzhong of the Great Liao would assist him; Make my master the keeper of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao laughed loudly: "Zhang Pu said it well! Since the Great Liao Khitan State canonized Li Jiqian as the king of Xia, it is necessary to send a large army to support him......"

Before he could say anything, he saw Han Derang take a step forward and stand in front of the Empress Dowager Xiao and said to Zhang Pu: "Please also ask the Western Xia envoys to rest in the post house, and after the Great Liao Tielin Army sent by the Empress Dowager is ready; He will rush to Xia, Yin, Jing, Yu, Sui, Feng, Fu, Lin, and Hong Kyushu with the three envoys, and at that time the land of Kyushu is the territory of the Liao Dynasty and the territory of your Western Xia Kingdom! ”

Han Derang spoke to Zhang Pu, Li Hui, and Xifeng Weiwei, and shouted outside the palace tent: "General Yelu Dahui, please arrange for the Western Xia envoys to rest!" ”

Yelu Dahui heard the summons, walked into the palace tent with two guards, and led Zhang Pu and the three to the post station; Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Han De and said, "What is this doing for my brother?" ”

Han Derang took the Empress Dowager Xiao into his arms, and said with a grin: "If the three envoys of the Western Xia are taken away, the lower officials can plan with the little sister that we said earlier about going deep into the Southern Dynasty Shaanxi Wulu River, Jing River, and Fu River to plot great things!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao arched a few times in Han Derang's arms and grinned: "I see, let my brother really Zhang Liang be alive, Zhuge will be reborn!" ”

Han Derang's expression was excited: "Zhang Pu, Wang Hui, and Xifeng Weiwei came at the right time, Weichen asked for his life; led 300 palace tent soldiers to rush to Western Xia with them to declare the edict to Li Jiqian, and then entered Fengxiang Mansion, the center of Shaanxi Five Road, through the Western Xia boundary; Realize our grand plan to flank the Song Dynasty from the north and south! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at Han De with wide eyes, and said in confusion: "Let my brother go to Fengxiang Mansion!" Fengxiang Mansion is in the Guanzhong Plain, and it was Xijing during the Tang Dynasty."

"Xiaomei is not wrong at all, Fengxiang Mansion is the Xijing of the Tang Dynasty; Treasures of nature, outstanding people! Han Derang raised his arm and said excitedly: "The Southern Dynasty built a large number of granaries in the Xianghe, Jinghe, and Fuhe River roads to the east of Fengxiang Mansion, especially the Fenghe Warehouse in Xianghe River and Tianzhuling is the largest; We rushed to Fenghe Cang and set a fire to it, and the Southern Dynasty lacked military rations, so the chicks couldn't fly! ”

Han Derang said, full of confidence: "We burned down Fenghe Cang, and then burned Fenggu Cang and Fengyu Cang, and carried out a surprise attack on Luoyang and Bianjing through Jingzhao Mansion, and Xiaomei sent an army south from the clouds; The Song Dynasty is in jeopardy! ”

After listening to Han Derang's narration, Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes widened in shock; Dementia stared at him; With affection, he silently pressed his body against Han Derang's chest, and the little bird snuggled up like a human being: "Let my brother's plan say what my little sister thinks, but you are King Wenzhong, how can you personally go out to do such a thing!" ”

Xiao Zhuo said, pressing his hand on Han Derang's cheek and caressing; couldn't help but cry and said, "Who will accompany my little sister when my brother goes?" How is it good to be lonely and lonely in the long night! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao wept for a long time, waved her arms sonorously and forcefully, and said: "There are thousands of brave generals in the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, how can a trivial matter make King Wenzhong come out!" Let Xiao Tzuyong lead a group of men and horses to Western Xia as a proclamation envoy, and then turn to Fengxiang Mansion; We will definitely succeed! ”

Xiao Tzuyong is over 300 years old and looks like a tiger; He is the general of the army of the Hou clan official Seal Room.

After Xiao Tzuyong received the holy decree of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he immediately summoned 300 Tielin troops to form an expeditionary knight team to assemble in the school field; Accepted by Empress Dowager Xiao and King Wenzhong Han Derang for review.

Empress Dowager Xiao was under the protection of more than a dozen guards of the guard Yelu Dahui, wearing a scarlet xia cloak; Dressed in a short jacket with arrow sleeves; The mandarin duck sword and Han Derang walked side by side, and rushed to the school to see 300 Tielin soldiers in high spirits, all of them in high spirits; I couldn't help but smile.

Empress Dowager Xiao circled around the brave soldiers of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom and waved her arms and said, "Soldiers, the time has come for the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom to test you; This operation has the presence of the general Xiao Tzuyong, and it will definitely be a success! ”

The 300 Tielin soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Long live the Empress Dowager Chengtian!" Hooray! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao made a gesture to stop and said with a smile in her heart: "What, long live, long live, long live?" Go bastard! People should live a thousand years old as a fine, and if they live long live, they are demons! ”

After thinking about it in his heart, he looked at Han Derang, who was standing on the side, and said, "Please also ask King Wenzhong to speak!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang, like Han Derang, do not call nicknames but only official names where there are people, and the tacit understanding between the two is really seamless; It has created a historical precedent for the seamless combination of Fanhan and Han.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao was so humble, Han Derang did not shirk, walked in front of the 300 Tielin soldiers and said: "You 300 people are 300 steel knives, and you will fight a bloody road on the land of the Song Dynasty to open the way for the unification of the Central Plains of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, and build bridges when encountering water; I hope that you will live up to the expectations of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and have a smooth journey......"

It is only said that Xiao Tzuyong met with Zhang Pu, Li Hui, and Xifeng Jiwei, three Western Xia envoys, and led 300 Tielin troops on the road.

The Tielin Army was the heavy cavalry unit of the Liao State, but the 300 Tielin Army led by Xiao Tzuyong were all lightly armed;

The Tielin Army of the Liao State and the Jingsai Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Iron Harrier of the Western Xia and the Tiefutu of the Jin State were the most powerful cavalry forces at that time.

The Tielin Army wore the Iron Harrier armor that was paid tribute or purchased by the Western Xia, and the cavalry crossbows of the Northern Song Empire were used in their hands.

The Tielin army rode good horses, heavy armor, and stabbing in, and used hooks and ropes to twist and tie, although they did not fall immediately.

In case of battle, the iron cavalry will break through the formation first, and the chaos will impact it; The infantry marched on horseback.

Xiao Tzuyong led 300 Tielin troops to each carry their weapons and stepped on the Turkic scimitar; Accompanied by the Western Xia envoys Zhang Pu, Xifeng Weiwei, and Li Hui, they traveled on the desert for a few days and came to Xiazhou City to meet Li Jiqian.

Li Jiqian also met with Xiao Tzuyong and 300 Tielin soldiers in the palace tent.

Xiao Tzuyong took out the edicts of Empress Dowager Xiao and Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, and named Li Jiqian as the king of Western Xia; Li Jiqian gave a big gift after receiving the edict of thanksgiving, and set up a banquet to entertain Xiao Tzuyong's 300 Tielin soldiers.

Xiao Tzuyong and Li Jiqian have been drinking for three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors; Fang disclosed that they were going to go to Song Guofengxiang's Mansion to take a trip to the river.

Li Jiqian was stunned for a long time and almost had a seizure, thinking that the Khitan Tartars were too bullying; Suddenly proposed to go to Fengxiang Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion is the realm of the Song Kingdom, and Xiao Tzuyong rushed there not to destroy the Song Dynasty......
