Chapter 166 Good News
On the other side, Luo Ping took more than a dozen people, who were already dressed up in disguise at this time and quietly infiltrated the Xingqing Mansion.
The Song Dynasty has set up a meeting place in Xingqing Mansion, which was only set up after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, and it is estimated that it is impossible to say that Zhao Huan has no idea about Western Xia.
"General Luo, the envoy sent by His Majesty also happened to arrive in the city at this time, and I will introduce you two." Zhang Wei, the director of the Xingqing Mansion, said to Luo Ping.
Luo Ping didn't expect the imperial court to send envoys, and he didn't know what the imperial court was doing, what he wanted to do, and whether there would be some conflicts with the imperial court, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "I'm tired of Master Zhang." ”
So, Zhang Wei quietly arranged for Luo Ping to meet with Du Qian, the envoy to Western Xia.
Du Qian is a civil official, when he saw Luo Ping at this time, he couldn't help frowning, it is really that the current Luo Ping's body is too bloody, and from afar, it gives people an uncomfortable feeling, this should be the legendary anger.
"Before His Majesty came, he specially instructed me to tell Director Zhang, so that Director Zhang could pay attention to your movements, and I didn't expect to meet you here." Du Qian subconsciously moved away from Luo Ping, and then said.
"Lord Du, I don't know what the purpose of the imperial court is to send you to Western Xia this time?" Luo Ping said to Du Qian.
Du Qian raised his head and looked at Luo Ping with some displeasure, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, Du Qian was a civil official, Luo Ping's question at this time was a bit like the superior was asking the subordinate.
Although Luo Ping is a military general, he has a flexible mind, and at this time, he naturally saw Du Qian's unhappiness, and hurriedly said: "Lord Du, the last general did not want to listen to the secrets of the imperial court, but I also followed the general's instructions to go to the city to do business, in order to prevent conflicts between the two sides, I wanted to inform Lord Du." ”
When Du Qian heard Luo Ping say this, he nodded and said, "It's not a secret, it's just that Your Majesty wants to negotiate with Xixia again, and has decided not to give Xixia coins every year." ”
Luo Ping didn't expect Du Qian's purpose to be like this, and he was also happy in his heart, as a hot-blooded general, to be honest, he really felt aggrieved about the Song Dynasty giving the New Year's coin, especially when the Song Dynasty was still the victor in the process of belligerent war with Western Xia.
The winner is to give the year coin, which in the history of the Celestial Empire, or in the history of the whole world, it is estimated that there is only one Song Dynasty, although the Song Dynasty gave the year coin, in the future will be earned back from the process of trade, but this is also a really unpleasant thing.
"Your Majesty has decided not to give Xixia New Year's coins, ah, this is really exciting good news!" Luo Ping said with some excitement.
Du Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, when the news came out, he was indeed in high spirits, but at this time he was a little unhappy, His Majesty ordered this matter, but the task on his shoulders was also much heavier, whether he could complete this task, to be honest, Du Qian was bottomless in his heart.
Luo Ping saw the hesitation on Du Qian's face, and knew that he must be a little bottomless in his heart, so he smiled and said to Du Qian: "Lord Du has no bottom in his heart? ”
Du Qian glared at Luo Ping and said: "I don't know the bottom in my heart, but I'm afraid that if the negotiation fails, and then cause trouble between the two countries, then I will become a sinner between the two countries." ”
Luo Ping nodded and said to Du Qian: "Master Du, there is good news to share with you here, which may be of great benefit to your negotiation this time." ”
Du Qian raised his head and waited for Luo Ping to continue.
"Some time ago, in the battle between the Feiyu Army and the Western Xia army, it can be said that they won both battles, and wiped out nearly 100,000 Western Xia troops in total." Luo Ping said with some pride.
"What?" When Du Qian heard the news, he was also taken aback, you must know that the army of Western Xia was only 250,000 people, and now it was wiped out by the Feiyu army of nearly 100,000 people, which was already nearly half of the strength of Western Xia.
"General Luo...... Ha ha...... You're going to say something happy to amuse me. Du Qian said to Luo Ping, but it was obvious in his words that he didn't believe what Luo Ping said.
Luo Ping pursed his lips, this battle was fought from the Western Xia, so it did not reach the Song Dynasty, Zhang Wei on the side hurriedly said: "Lord Du, but there is such a thing, and the minister has already passed the news to Bianjing, maybe this meeting has not yet reached the hands of His Majesty." ”
Hearing Zhang Wei say the same, Du Qian believed it, but the expression on his face was still a little incredulous, and he muttered: "You, how many people are there?" ”
Luo Ping was still a little proud in his heart, so he replied: "There are not many soldiers, the important ones are excellent, although my Feiyu Army only has less than 5,000 people, but even in the face of 100,000 troops, we are not afraid." ”
Du Qian didn't dare to underestimate Luo Ping at this time, and when he felt the strong bloody aura on Luo Ping's body, he understood that in fact, this strong bloody aura was the best proof that Luo Ping crawled out of the pile of dead people.
"It's hard work for you." Du Qian said to Luo Ping, "It's no wonder that Your Majesty is so concerned about you, and before leaving, he specially told me to ask Director Zhang to pay attention to your news." ”
Luo Ping heard what Du Qian said, and his heart was really moved, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, and the status of their generals has never been very high, but at this time, their Feiyu Army was fortunate to be remembered by the emperor, how could there be a reason to be unhappy.
"Your Majesty is so concerned about us, even if we die in this Western Xia, we will be happy." Luo Ping said with some excitement.
Du Qian heard what Luo Ping said, waved his hand and said: "You are all heroes of my dynasty, don't give your life on impulse, Your Majesty instructed you when he came, let you be careful and patient, it won't be long before he will send a large army to take you home." ”
When Du Qian heard Zhao Huan say this, he was still a little puzzled, thinking that it was just Zhao Huan's words of relief to his subordinates, but when he thought about it at this time, it was a different taste, I am afraid that Zhao Huan did not just say it casually at that time, but really wanted to do it.
Your Majesty today, you are really eloquent! Du Qian couldn't help but think in his heart.
Luo Ping was happy in his heart, fortunately, neither he nor Yang Weiguo were reckless, at this time, Yang Weiguo had jumped out of the encirclement of Feng Renduo and was loyal, and advanced westward.
