Chapter 143: What a mess
Whether this man is a dog or not, Xiao Zixuan doesn't know, but this guy really can't eat enough, but she can also understand, after all, it's not easy to come out once, and it's understandable that this man eats more. What she can't understand the most is that this treacherous man has been hiding his true identity and not letting himself know at all.
It's the mystery, there is always a time to solve it, and it is the queen Yelu Nanxian who solves the mystery, she stared at the treacherous man for a long time and said: "You are not small, not only did you get into Xingqing Mansion, but also got flowers and grass everywhere, it is rare that you are not afraid that this palace will kill you." β
"Afraid, of course afraid, who is not afraid of death!" The treacherous man sat down with a big grin, his eyes constantly scanning Yelu Nanxian, and he said unhurriedly: "You won't kill me, otherwise, you wouldn't have invited me over." β
"Count you as a kind, I don't know, how are you going to solve Xiao Zixuan's problem."
"Take it back, in Jingzhao Mansion, I have the final say."
"You have already married the daughter of Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, the county lord of Qingluo, and then provoked the noble daughter of the Liao State, are you not afraid that the emperor of your country will cut off your head?"
Yelu Nanxian really didn't expect this man to be so bold, but this kind of hero was originally living on the edge of a knife, and he hadn't experienced any strong winds and waves, so it was not surprising that he rashly broke into Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia.
"Greed for money and lust is my trademark, and the officials know it." The treacherous man's gaze was a little ambiguous, and he didn't mind that the other party was the decisive Western Xia Empress Yelu Nanxian, and he didn't think about whether the other party would kill him.
"Liu Zhenglong, you are too arrogant!"
What, this man is Liu Zhenglong, this man who has brought countless wonderful things to himself turned out to be Liu Zhenglong, at this time, Xiao Zixuan's heart is complicated, and she is really worried about twenty-five little rabbits with a hundred claws.
Liu Zhenglong admired Yelu Nanxian very much, he said with a smile: "I followed Li Renli, the king of Shu, into Xingqing Mansion, and lived in the Shu Wang's Mansion, this resourceful and scheming guy didn't guess my true identity, I didn't expect to be seen through by the mother at a glance, I really admire, admire." β
"Don't talk so much nonsense without nutrition, let's talk about it, what are you doing in Xingqing Mansion."
Yelu Nanxian has an extremely huge plan, it is obvious that this guy will not be able to complete it without the man in front of him, since he already has that relationship with Xiao Zixuan, there is no need to stop it.
"The dispute between King Shu and King Pu has been going on for many years, helping one get rid of the other, it's as simple as that."
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's rare that you think the Great Song Dynasty has the ability to destroy Western Xia?" Liu Zhenglong's face showed a treacherous smile, and this guy said gloomily: "It seems that the queen mother is lonely and cold, and she has lost the most basic judgment. β
Yes, the Great Song Dynasty has been at war with the Western Xia many times for more than a hundred years, when will it have the ability to destroy the country! Not to mention Yelu Nanxian, in fact, no one believed that the Great Song Dynasty had enough strength to destroy Western Xia. Since it can't be destroyed, it's normal to win over one and suppress the other.
"Help one, get rid of the other, you are too naΓ―ve, don't you know that Western Xia is a dispute between the three kings? How can you ignore that with a heavy army in hand, Brother Richard, the king of Jin, the god of war of Western Xia? β
"It's not that he ignores Brother Richard, the king of Jin, but that his life is short, so there is no need to worry about it at all."
"King Jin is not long in life, you are so humorous." Empress Yelu Nanxian's pretty face showed a disdainful smile, in her opinion, the handsome and mighty man in front of her had a good skin, in fact, it was just an embroidered pillow.
Liu Zhenglong glanced at his mouth and said: "The queen mother came to me, isn't it just to solve the problem of King Jin, if you don't believe that I can solve King Jin, then what's the point of you inviting me to come." β
"Tea." Queen Yelu Nanxian asked the maid to serve tea to Liu Zhenglong, she said with a smile: "Since you are sure to get rid of King Jin, then let's assume that King Jin has been eliminated, okay, then the next step, are you going to get rid of King Shu, or King Pu, by the way, I forgot to say that King Pu is your father-in-law, Old Taishan, are you ready to help King Pu?" β
"The queen mother let that one live, that one will live, you let that one die, I will solve whichever one." When Liu Zhenglong took the teacup, he pinched the maid's weak and boneless jade hand very presumptuously, and he said with a smile: "I am greedy for money and lustful, and I married the county lord of King Shu's mansion, so isn't King Shu also my father-in-law Lao Taishan, married the daughter of King Jin, then King Jin is also my father-in-law Lao Taishan." I am an official of the Great Song Dynasty, so getting rid of King Shu or King Pu depends on whether it is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty or not, and whether it has nothing to do with my father-in-law. β
Cold, cold-blooded, ruthless, these three words are Queen Yelu Nanxian's evaluation of Liu Zhenglong, but she also knows that only such a man can achieve great things, and he is worthy of cooperating with herself.
"What's in it for you?"
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. Yelu Nanxian didn't believe that a hero like Liu Zhenglong came to Xixia to pick up girls and women. If this kind of man wants a woman, it can be said that it is not a problem to be fat and thin, and there should be a bigger plan.
"Nanxian, you are on the point, the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty have been fighting for a hundred years, there are mutual victories and defeats, the Great Song Dynasty military expenditure consumes hundreds of millions, only during the period when Tong Guan was in charge of the army, the Great Song Dynasty consumed more than 10 million military salaries, and now the official family is no longer willing to invest huge sums of money to fight with the Western Xia, only hope that there will be no more disputes on the border of the Western Front. The task given to me by the official family is to solve the dispute on the Western Front within five years, and let me raise 10 million taels of military expenses by myself. I don't know, I say this, do you understand. β
Yelu Nanxian was very dissatisfied with Liu Zhenglong's unauthorized call to be Nanxian, but he agreed with the other party's statement that there was no winner in the war between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, they were all losers, and the truce was beneficial to both sides. At this time, Yelu Nanxian's attention was on more than 10 million, and he even forgot to reprimand the other party for his rudeness.
"Then do you think that supporting King Shu can end the battle, or supporting King Pu can make Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty no longer war?" Yelu Nanxian's eyes were much softer when he looked at Liu Zhenglong, after all, whoever looked at ten million taels of silver was gentle.
"Of course, it is most reliable to cooperate with the queen." Liu Zhenglong seemed to have seen through the situation of the Western Xia, he said to himself: "The dispute between the three kings is the killing of the three kingdoms, and it will always end, and it should be the queen mother who really cleans up the mess, you are in power, assisting His Royal Highness the Prince, at this time, the Western Xia also needs more than ten years of stability, of course, it will not launch a war against the Great Song Dynasty, so choosing you is the final choice, the life and death of King Pu, King Shu, King Jin, and the three kings are all in your hands, I am just the knife." β
Smart people don't need to go around in circles, and the relevant relationships are quickly straightened out. Liu Zhenglong's words have already revealed that not receiving them is to execute the three kings, and the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun should also die, Yelu Nanxian wants to take power and assist the crown prince to ascend the throne.
"What do you want to get, it's not as simple as Xixia and Da Song Xiang'an having nothing to do!" Yelu Nanxian likes Liu Zhenglong's cleverness and straightforwardness, but he wants to know the opponent's hole cards more and doesn't want to be surrounded by this cunning little fox.
"The merit is high and the lord is shocked, there is no seal, and there is no reward for it, it can only be executed, the Han family has been like this since ancient times, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. Di Qing, the god of war of the Great Song Dynasty, died of depression. I'm still young, and I still have countless beautiful women waiting for me to conquer, so I need a way out. β
"How to retreat?"
"I have 3,000 elite soldiers in my hands, as long as the Xixia net is opened, let me go all the way west and find a piece of paradise that belongs to me, this is not too much to ask."
Sure enough, he is a careerist, and he is a small six-rank official who wants to tear the earth and seal the king, Yelu Nanxian believes that the other party has not deceived him, it should be Liu Zhenglong's true thoughts.
Yelu Nanxian was silent for a long time and then said, "I don't know if it is possible for your 10 million to be transferred to the mourning family. β
"That's an astronomical amount, what can I get?"
That's it, what can you give the other person? There is no shortage of money, official positions, people are not interested, beauties, 10 million for beauties is too absurd. Yelu Nanxian pondered for a long time and said: "10 million has penetrated to Western Xia, you don't have to travel all the way to the west, I will give you a military city with a population of about 50,000 in Western Xia, you tear the earth here and seal the king, and the mourning family will crown you as the king of Qin." β
10 million to buy a city, whether it is cost-effective or not, that is, the benevolent and the wise will see the wise, Liu Zhenglong shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, if the time comes, you don't like me, wherever the army goes, will the military city still exist?" β
"You're so handsome, how can you not like you? Besides, this 10 million is not necessarily the payment of silver, it can be achieved by Tong Guanchang trade, I believe that since you can come this far, self-protection should not be a problem, in the military city on the northwest border of Western Xia, you find that something is wrong, you can move west at any time, after all, no one can control the future, you are very clear about this. β
Pleasing to the eye, or not, it's not a problem.
An hour later, Yelu Nanxian said very gently: "The mourning family looks at you pleasing to the eye, I don't know if you look at the mourning family is pleasing to the eye, you must know that the mourning family is three years older than you." β
"In our hometown, the female junior holds gold bricks, thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger, of course I look like a wolf like a tiger." Liu Zhenglong had an evil smile on his face, and this guy said with a smile: "I don't know if there will be a chance to come to this gentle township in the future." β
"Then it depends on your skills, by the way, how are you going to deal with Brother Richard, the king of Jin."
"There is King Shu in the Western Xia, King Pu is restrained, and the King of Jin Li Chage leads the team to the expedition, as long as he does not bring the Iron Harrier, and the total number of men and horses is controlled within 100,000, I will personally lead the team to the expedition, solve him, and end the myth of the undefeated God of War in the Western Xia."
Liu Zhenglong always gives people a domineering feeling, he didn't take Brother Richard in his eyes at all, this guy's record is stacked on the superiority of cavalry over infantry combat, and it is based on the Song Dynasty's civilian command of the army, where can he be regarded as the god of war!
Domineering, Yelu Nanxian likes Liu Zhenglong's domineering, this man is obviously a civil official, but he is definitely a general who fights the world with a gun, too brave, hey, wonderful.
"When you finish handling the matter in Xingqing Mansion, I will arrange for Brother Richard to go on the expedition, and the mourning family doesn't want to see this guy's figure appear again."
"It doesn't matter when I'm done, the key is, Nanxian, when will you let me go."
"And when do you want to leave?"
"I hope that I will be drunk for a long time and will not wake up, in the gentle country of drunken life and dreaming of death, how can I be willing to leave?"
"Yes, Gentle Township, Hero's Tomb. In late June, I hope you will take care of things during this time, and people will find time to summon you. β
The trip to Xingqing Mansion ended like this, which made Liu Zhenglong feel a little surprised. The Three Kingdoms Killing, no matter how fierce it is, is irrelevant to himself, and the next step is to find a way to solve the King of Jin on the battlefield. As for the battle between King Shu and King Pu, it was destined to be the final victory of Queen Yelu Nanxian in the end.
The current Western Xia has really entered the ultimate chapter of the Three Kingdoms, Li Renli, the king of Shu, Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, and Li Chage, the king of Jin, are all actively preparing, and they are all waiting for the right opportunity to appear and take the opportunity to take the other party.
In fact, the Three Kingdoms Killing, Emperor Li Qianshun, and Empress Yelu Nanxian are not outsiders, the two also have their own plans, and they also have their own layouts, the relationship between these two people and the Three Kings is complicated, constantly using, constantly cheating, and constantly deceiving, and now it can be said that the whole situation is chaotic and the water is so muddy that no one can understand it.
Liu Zhenglong had no time to take care of the civil strife in Western Xia, he quietly left Xingqing Mansion and secretly met with the leaders of several major tribes such as the Mili tribe, the Wuzang tribe, and the Xifeng tribe, of course, they were just negotiating business, but this guy's business was too big, too big, so big that the other party couldn't refuse.
In that era, the most effective way to cooperate and alliance must be in-laws, it seems that only in this way is the most reliable, which led to the Han Dynasty Zhaojun out of the fortress, the Tang Dynasty Princess Wencheng, and the Jincheng princess to marry Tubo. Although Liu Zhenglong is very disgusted with this bad habit, it is not exempt from vulgarity, after all, the reputation of greed for money and lust has been played, and then covering it up will make more people suspicious, but the gains outweigh the losses.
The system of Western Xia is very special, on the surface, all soldiers are all, in fact, it is not the case at all, the eight tribes send troops according to the number of populations, when they go out, the imperial court does not provide military salaries, even weapons, armor, and war horses have to be brought, but after winning, they will be divided into the spoils. Therefore, when fighting, the soldiers are extremely fierce, after all, they fight for money. But once the battle is defeated, or when it cannot be won, it is definitely a mountain of defeat, and the situation cannot be controlled at all.
Dividing the spoils of war is destined not to be 100% fair, and over time, there will be many contradictions between the major tribes, which is why when the Three Kingdoms were killed, the major tribes responded positively, just to bet on the treasure, on the one hand to grab benefits, and on the other hand to take revenge.
Liu Zhenglong studied the contradictions between these tribes very thoroughly, and he also knew how to use them, so the most important thing for this trip was to visit the leaders of the major tribes, and it didn't matter if the Three Kingdoms were killed.
When Liu Zhenglong returned to Jingzhao Mansion, the whole person had changed, his skin was much darker, and his face was vicissitudes, so that Liu Ruyan, who came from afar, did not dare to recognize her, she said with a smile: "How did you become like this now, it looks so ugly, and people don't want to pay attention to you anymore." β
"Why did you come from the capital, it won't be another family forced marriage, you treat me here as a safe haven." Liu Zhenglong stretched out his index finger and flicked it on the white forehead of Liu Ruyan, a big beauty, and said with a smile: "I knew you were coming, so I should have brought you more treasures from Xixia." β
"Cut, it's fake, it's almost the same thing that you bring a baby to your own woman, and you say that you bring me hypocrisy." Liu Ruyan raised her mouth, as if she was very angry, she whispered: "The family no longer cares about my marriage, in other words, no one in the entire capital dares to marry me, it is all your harm, you are a harmful spirit." β
Also, the entire capital knows that Liu Ruyan and Liu Zhenglong are coming to the Western Front, melon fields and Li Xia, if nothing happens, who believes it, who dares to marry Liu Ruyan now, of course, no one wants to offend Liu Zhenglong and rob women with this popular spicy chicken.
Liu Zhenglong knew that it was not that simple, but since Liu Ruyan didn't say it, he didn't want to force the other party, so he said: "It's okay to come to Jingzhao Mansion, help me train a female soldier to come out, not to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, but to be able to protect the safety of my relatives." You can't be idle, after a while, come with me to the battlefield to fight Brother Richard, the king of Jin. β
"Are you really going to play against Richard?" Liu Ruyan was born to go to the battlefield, and this heroine had long known that the Western Xia God of War, King Richard, and wanted to know if Liu Zhenglong could defeat him. After all, the luck of winning last time was not a reaction to the real strength of both sides.
"Wrong, it's not against Brother Richard, it's about strangling him." Liu Zhenglong sighed and said: "I had no intention of killing, but for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I could only go to the battlefield." I want to be a civil official who judges cases like a god, honest and honest, not a military general who gallops on the battlefield. β
"Isn't that bad?" Liu Ruyan hugged Liu Zhenglong's waist tightly, and she murmured: "A man should be a wife and a prince, and he can't revolve around a woman all day long." You are a hero, a beautiful woman with a hero since ancient times, but gentle township, hero mound, you shouldn't be like this. β
"There can't be heroes in the Great Song Dynasty, I don't want to be Di Qing's second, okay, let's not talk about this, I'll take you to Hancheng Lake to row a boat, and by the way, fish for you to bake and eat."
Liu Zhenglong's inner blueprint can't be described to anyone, and he doesn't want to think about it so much, he just wants to relax himself and enjoy life. It was quiet before the rainstorm, and the real big battle was still to come, not only to deal with a Richard brother, but also to block the Jin army from moving south.
Now, the soldiers and horses in hand are limited, and in the northwest border, when the real Jin army goes south, it is beyond the reach of the whip at all, which is what worries Liu Zhenglong.
