Chapter 693: The Liao Dynasty withdraws its troops
Zhang Jian's face remained unchanged, and he turned his head to Xia Zhu and smiled: "It seems that both you and I can't hold it, this is a small contest, as for who wins and who loses, there is no need to be serious, the main thing is not to hurt the harmony of both sides." ”
Xia Zhu smiled more politely: "Prime Minister Zuo's words are reasonable, these generals like to boast about their merits, and they get a little cheap, as if they want everyone in the world to know, and the backend is to be good at the end!" ”
Di Qing's face was not very good, just now he Xia Zhu summoned himself, and now he said something like this, destroying more than 10,000 enemies and injuring less than 1,000 people, this would be a great achievement if it was placed in the past! The Great Song Dynasty has never inflicted such casualties on the enemy country!
But Peng Qi on the side pulled him a little and gave him a hard look, Di Qing followed his gaze and looked at Xia Zhu, only to see that this old man belittled the generals of the Great Song Dynasty so ugly when he faced Zhang Jian, but a hand that reached out gave him Di Qing a thumbs up, which was an extremely rare thing.
Zhang Jian didn't know Xia Zhu's small movements, and in the face of Xia Zhu's disparagement, he turned his head to look in the direction of Fengyi City and said: "You and I are both civil ministers, so we naturally care about the safety of the people, no matter what, please also ask the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to treat the people of Fengyi City well, no matter whether Liao and Han are the people under their rule, right?" ”
Xia Zhu said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zuo, don't worry, you don't need to say that I will naturally do a good job in this matter." The top priority is how to make your Liao Dynasty army return to Zhongjing Road safely, for this reason, my Great Song Dynasty made a benevolent and righteous move, and opened a special military road in Fengsheng Prefecture, exclusively for your Liao Dynasty army, as long as you advance on this road, and set up camp, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty will not commit any crimes, and let you wait for the crossing, the only condition is to be under the supervision of my Great Song Dynasty soldiers! ”
This is nothing, since it is something promised by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty himself, Zhang Jian is not worried that the Song people will regret it, if they dare to do this, it will be unkind and unjust, not only to discredit the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but also to make the Great Song Dynasty bear the infamy of treachery.
Zhang Jian nodded and said: "That's fine, I value faith and righteousness the most in Daliao, and I will never regret what I promised." The same should be true of the Great Song Dynasty, right? ”
Xia Zhu smiled: "This is nature! I am a brilliant Song Dynasty, the state of etiquette, how can Your Majesty's Chrysostom and Jade Words deceive you?! It's not too early, Prime Minister Zuo should hurry up and discuss with Xiao Shuai how to withdraw the troops! ”
Zhang Jian left, when he left, he still took his own ox cart, Xia Zhu looked at the lonely ox cart at the foot of the mountain and sighed slightly: "Although this person is not very intelligent, he is also a loyal person, if he doesn't meet a talented Ming Jun like an official, I don't know what he will be mixed into!" ”
Di Qing and Peng Qi glanced at each other, this Xia Zhu actually had time to sympathize with Zhang Jian, and I don't know what these literati thought all day long, Zhang Jian was the left prime minister of the Liao Dynasty after all, what is there to sympathize with if he is the minister of the enemy country? Literati are hypocritical! Even if you want to kill your opponent, you have to squeeze out two tears on the surface.
Zhang Jian returned to Datong Mansion, after seeing the majesty of Xijin Mansion, the small Datong Mansion simply cannot be compared, what kind of city is this? There is not even a single neat street in the city, and the shops seem to be dilapidated, even a little dilapidated, and such a city is simply a slum!
From this, Zhang Jian also saw the difference between Song and Liao, this may be the national strength that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty once said to His Majesty, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is not comparable to that of the Great Liao, but even so, he has to save the Great Liao, isn't the role of the scholars exactly like this?
Although the first emperor died before he left the school, the reform of the Great Liao should continue, and to increase the intensity of the reform, it needs the attention of the successor monarch, and the son inherits the father's business is the best choice, the emperor's eldest son Yelu Hongji is outstanding, and he can fully inherit the last wish of the first emperor.
Now that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has agreed to borrow the Great Liao, as long as he and Xiao Hui lead the 100,000 troops back to Shangjing, see who else dares to hinder the emperor's eldest son from ascending the throne! As long as he can ascend the throne and become emperor, he will be able to inherit the last wish of the first emperor and make the Great Liao rise again.
Zhang Jian can see that nothing is so important now, what is Datong Mansion? What is the Wisdom Mansion? Once the government falls into the hands of Yelu Chongyuan, the entire Great Liao will be taken to the grave by him, and such a person will never continue to reform according to the plan of the first emperor step by step!
But soon a cruel reality destroyed Zhang Jian, although he knew that Yeluda led the defenders of Fengyi City to Yelu Chongyuan, but he didn't know that Liu Liufu had died, Xiao Hui's heavy expression made him frown, and asked strangely: "Although Yeluda led the army to Yelu Chongyuan, they have no way to go except Fengshengzhou, so don't worry, let the Song people clean them up." ”
Seeing that Zhang Jian still didn't know about Liu Liufu, Xiao Hui said in a deep voice: "These rebellious dog thieves naturally won't escape easily, but my Da Liao has also lost a heavy minister!" ”
Zhang Jian suddenly understood something, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Hui and said, "What about Brother Liu?!" Why is he no longer in the camp?! Isn't it...... Isn't it ......."
Xiao Hui nodded with an ugly face: "He didn't know that Yeluda was still plotting rebellion, and went to Fengyi City to blame the prison army, who knew that it was a sheep in the mouth of the tiger and was ambushed under the tent...... There are no bones left! ”
Zhang Jian's face turned pale, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "The world is unfair, and the dark clouds cover the sun!" Why did the loyal and righteous die tragically, and the traitorous villain triumphed?! Brother Liu, you are wronged! ”
Zhang Jian beat his chest and tore his heart, seeing that it was about to be done, but Liu Liufu died tragically, how could he not be annoyed and angry?
Although he was also angry, Xiao Hui could only persuade: "Zhong Bao, now is not the time to sigh for a long time, has the Emperor of the Song Dynasty promised me the matter of borrowing the Tao from Da Liao?" ”
Zhang Jian nodded and said: "The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has agreed to borrow the road in Fengshengzhou, but the army needs to be under the surveillance of the Song people, and I have agreed to this matter." ”
Xiao Hui slowly got up and knocked north with Zhang Jian: "Your Majesty, we must do our best to protect the young lord to ascend the throne as emperor!" May Your Majesty be sheltered by the Spirit of Heaven! After speaking, the two of them got up and began to work on the preparations for the army, although Datong Mansion is important, it is not so important compared to the throne, which Xiao Hui and Zhang Jian know better than anyone else.
The soldiers of the Liao Dynasty were different from those of the Great Song Dynasty, they had horses to ride wherever they went, and the horses became their feet galloping on the grassland, and all the baggage was also carried by the horses, which was why they came and went like the wind, and also made them attack and retreat very fast.
The city gate slowly opened, and at this time the army of the Great Song Dynasty was also ready, Xia Zhu stood alone outside the city gate, saluted Zhang Jian slightly, Zhang Jian was the same, the two looked at each other and walked synchronously, the place they walked was the road drawn by the Great Song Dynasty for the Liao Dynasty, and Xia Zhu had to lead the way with Zhang Jian along the way......
