"Marshal, please send troops to rescue my lord!"

Wanyan Zongbi sat on the throne and looked condescendingly at Murong Bo, the messenger sent by Li Qianshun, the emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, he still couldn't believe that what Murong Bo said was true, and asked again: "What you said is true?" ”

Murong Bo replied: "It's true. Li Changyou secretly communicated with the Song Kingdom, conspired to rebel, and shamefully changed his name to Li Changzuo! ”

"Li Changyou, this king used to fight with him in the Southern Song Dynasty in the past, and I feel that he was also a character. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that he defected to the Song Dynasty! Wanyan Zongbi sighed.

Liaojin is in the north, and Song is in the south, so Liaojin also called Song or Southern Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that the Song Dynasty also called Liaojin the north.

Murong Bo said eagerly: "Marshal, please send troops to rescue my lord!" Halfway through, I heard that the Song army had conquered Longzhou, and that Li Changyou had not only captured Xiazhou, but also that his old troops had rebelled in various places, and that Guazhou and Shazhou in the west might have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Marshal, for the sake of the good relations between the two countries of Jinxia, and in order to limit the unrestricted expansion of the Song Kingdom, and for the safety and future of your country, please send troops to the rescue! ”

Wanyan Zongbi was not in a hurry to reply, and his Jin Kingdom would definitely not want to see the Song Kingdom dominate. If there is no involvement in Western Xia, the situation of the Three Kingdoms will be broken, and the situation will definitely tilt to one side.

However, whether to send troops or not, it is not up to you to decide, there are still princes and ministers in the capital, as well as Emperor Wanyan Sheng, who is in charge, where did he do the master in a hurry.

"This matter is urgent, but the commander still has to show the emperor. When the emperor makes a decision, the commander can send troops to the rescue. Therefore, please wait for a few days, and Ben Shuai will immediately report this matter to the emperor in an urgent manner for 800 miles. Wanyan Zongbi said.

Murong Bo also knew that although the eyebrows were burned now, there was no way, whoever let the fire burn his own eyebrows, it would be good if others didn't turn you away.

Murong Bo bowed again: "Thank you Marshal, the existence of Great Xia in the world is all due to the snort of your country!" The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and I hope that your country must help! ”

Wanyan Zongbi said: "There is no evidence, did the emperor of your country ask you to bring any tokens or anything like that?" ”

Murong Bo said: "On the letter I gave you just now, there is the emperor's seal of my emperor, and it can't be faked." ”

"Nothing else?" Wanyan Zongbi shook his head and said.

Murong Bo said in his heart, you don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, fortunately, the emperor has been prepared. He took out a secret scroll from his bosom and said, "This is my emperor's promise to salute your country." The lower official was originally going to present it to the emperor of your country in person, but now he asked the marshal to hand it over! ”

Wanyan Zongbi took the secret scroll and read it carefully, it was written that Li Qianshun was willing to respect the Jin Kingdom as the upper country, and sent Yunzhou and Shuozhou to the Jin Kingdom, and every year he paid gold, silver, brocade and silk and other clouds.

Wanyan Zongbi nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you are fully prepared, you can persuade the Holy Lord to send troops." However, the final decision of the Holy Lord to send troops or not is not the final word of the commander, after all, we and the Song Dynasty have not long negotiated a truce, and our country has not long been established, everything is in the ascendant, and there are still a lot of family affairs to take care of. ”

Murong Bo was ruthless, and threw out the temptation again: "My emperor said, if the rebellion can be quelled and the Song enemy can be driven out, everything can be discussed again!" ”

Wanyan Zongbi said: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Ben Shuai just told you about the difficulties of our country in advance, so that you would not be too disappointed at that time. ”

"Then the subordinate has thanked the marshal first, marshal Wanfu Jin'an!" Murong Bo thanked him.

From Yanqing Mansion in Xijing to Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, it stretches for nearly a thousand miles, and it takes at least three days for 800 miles to come and go with an expedited fast horse, and if there is a delay on the road or the emperor is undecided, it may be longer.

The eight-hundred-mile express was sent to the palace of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and after Yan Sheng finished reading the report, it was difficult to control the situation for a while. Wanyan Sheng immediately summoned the princes and ministers in the capital, such as Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongxian, to enter the palace to discuss matters.

Wanyan Zongfu was calm, and waited for the other ministers to talk about it before concluding: "Shengshang, according to the ministers, let's talk about Western Xia first, Li Qianshun, the lord of Western Xia, does not know whether he uses people, this is the fundamental reason why Li Changyou or Li Changzuo is not used, and he surrenders to the rebellion." Li Qianshun and Li Changzuo have half a pound and eight taels of power in the country, and without the help of the southern country, Li Changzuo may not be able to succeed. Chen once had several acquaintances with Li Changzuo in the south, this person is smart and faithful, but slightly frivolous. At that time, the minister could see that his ass was unstable, and sure enough! ”

The gold lord Wan Yansheng nodded, it turned out that Li Changzuo was such a person.

Wanyan Zongfu then analyzed: "Let's talk about the Southern Song Dynasty. Although he experienced the Jingkang disaster, the sky did not kill him, and a fish that slipped through the net became the master of Zhongxing - Zhao Gou. The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty knew people well, and he did not suspect that he would use people, and he used a large number of courageous and capable people, the first of which was their Yongguo Gong Qu Ping. I heard news from the minister's spies in the Southern Song Dynasty that he seemed to have disappeared mysteriously, and now I don't know whether he is dead or alive. ”

Wanyan Zongxian was once caught by Qu Ping, and he hated him in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "It is best if this person dies, and the most poisonous snake in the Southern Song Dynasty is him!" ”

Wan Yansheng nodded, who doesn't think so! If it weren't for him, Zhao Gou might not have been able to comfort him to sit on the dragon throne and repel the Jinxia coalition army; If it weren't for him, Zhao Ji wouldn't have slipped away; If it weren't for him, Yanyun Prefecture would not have ceded it; If it weren't for him, a lot wouldn't have happened!

Wan Yansheng said: "This person is indeed a big enemy, if there is a chance, whether it is bright or dark, every possible means will be used to get rid of his life!" The Southern Song Dynasty traveled thousands of miles to the Western Xia to wade through the troubled waters, and it seems that they have recovered their vitality. ”

Wanyan Zongxian said: "Hmph! It's just fattening the cattle and sheep waiting for us to slaughter! ”

Wanyan Zongfu said: "At that time, at this time, Shibei should be impressed for three days, don't underestimate any enemy, no matter how small the sand is, it will be awkward." ”

"Humph!" Wanyan Zongxian and Wanyan Zongfu didn't deal with each other much, so they naturally didn't want to pay attention to his preaching.

Seeing that the two were going to fight again, Yan Sheng diverted the topic and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, Zongfu hasn't finished analyzing it yet!" ”

"Yes, Holy Lord!" Wanyan Zongfu returned to the topic, "The Southern Song Dynasty wants to divide its troops to attack Western Xia, and the north will definitely be vigilant and always watch out for our army to take the opportunity to attack." The northern defense line of the Southern Song Dynasty was garrisoned by three great generals, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Yue Fei, and it was difficult for our army to attack rashly. ”

Wanyan Zongxian muttered: "Hmph, grow the ambition of others, and destroy your own prestige!" "Let's go

Wan Yan Sheng shouted: "Don't mutter, Sosuke continued!" ”

Wanyan Zongxian shook his lips and did not speak, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

Although Wanyan Zongfu was maintained by the emperor, he was not proud, and continued: "To break the defense line of the Song army, it must be broken from the inside. This matter is not urgent, and it needs to be done when the time is ripe. Besides, my Dajin, since my father raised troops in the white water and black mountains, attacked and destroyed the Liao State in one fell swoop, established Dajin, and my uncle took over the throne. ”

When Wanyan Sosuke said this, he changed his words: "However, the tree grows too fast, and the roots are not stable enough, and it will fall when the wind blows." If you rashly aid Western Xia, you will definitely offend the Southern Song Dynasty. Originally, it was the cranes and mussels that competed, but in the end, the fishermen may not be able to profit. ”

"You mean no troops?" Wan Yansheng asked.

Wanyan Zongfu replied: "Out, still want to come out, but you have to be famous." ”

Wanyan Zongxian pursed his lips, and said in his heart What kind of tongue twister are you.

Wan Yansheng said: "Oh? Let's talk about it, how to get out? ”

"Strong and weak attack. We wrote a letter to the Southern Song Dynasty, stating that we had no intention of attacking, but only borrowed the request of the Western Xia to take back our own territory. You can first recover Yunzhou Shuozhou, and then continue to send troops to the west to encroach on the untouched territory of the Southern Song Dynasty! Wanyan Zongfu said.

Wan Yansheng said: "That is to unite the Southern Song Dynasty and eat the Western Xia together?" ”

"The result is the same, but the excuse and way to send troops are different." Wanyan Zongfu said, "When the time comes, Western Xia will be destroyed by Li Changzuo and the Southern Song Dynasty coalition army, won't the territory in the east of Western Xia be ours?" ”

Wanyan Zongxian said: "I don't approve of sending troops!" If the Western Xia disappears and loses the three-legged stand, only us and the Song Kingdom will be left against each other. According to the truth you analyzed earlier, my Dajin is weak, how can I confront Da Song at that time? ”

Wan Yansheng said: "The two of you have their own senses. Let's take a look at what the third prince said. What he meant was not to confront the Song army for the time being, and to wave his troops directly at Xingqing Mansion, and take over the city of Xixia Prefecture along the way. If the soldiers and horses have not yet arrived in Xingqing Mansion, Li Qianshun will be finished, then he will directly take over the occupation of prefectures and counties along the way. If Li Qianshun still has one breath left, then he will be rescued from him, leave him a place temporarily, continue to maintain the three-legged state, and justifiably ask Li Qianshun to hand over the lost territory. Based on the opinions of all of you, I believe that what the third prince said is the most reasonable, and this is the most feasible way! ”

It turned out that Yan Sheng had already made a plan, so everyone had to be lively here for a long time.

Wanyan Zongfu was disappointed in his heart, and said: "The Holy One is wise, and I must rely on the Holy One to decide!" ”

Wanyan Zongxian also said: "If the saint is reasonable, he will do what the third prince says." "The implication is that you Wanyan Sheng and the third prince Wanyan Zongbi made the decision, and when something goes wrong, it won't be on my Wanyan Zongxian's head.

Wan Yan Sheng Jinkou Yu said: "Come to the person, the intention is ......"

Wanyan Zongxian returned to the mansion and complained about the results of today's discussion, which happened to be heard by Qin Hui, a member of the mansion's think tank......

After Yan Zongfu returned to the house, he briefly talked to Wang Qi, the commander of the guards, about the affairs of the court, and he said in his heart that he did not feel truly loved......

The clouds on the river lock the dream soul, and the flower room sings late at night.

In the middle of the night, Qin Hui and Wang Qi "met unexpectedly" in Yinhong Courtyard.

Yin Hong Courtyard is the favorite place of the chic nobles of the first class in Beijing, among which the beauties are "hibiscus such as face willows and eyebrows", it is "the hill overlaps the golden light and extinguishes, and the temples and clouds want to be fragrant and snowy", and it is the place of "Wushan cloud and rain".

But these have nothing to do with Qin Hui and Wang Qi, the two of them are together today, only drinking, not folding flowers.

It's just because they have big ideals. The boy goes out to make a living, not only because of his husband's ambition to run the country!

The two sat down in a less crowded area by the window.

Wang Qi raised his glass and said, "Lord Qin." ”

"Lord Wang." Qin Hui and Wang Qi clinked glasses in the air, and drank all the wine in the cup, "The two kings don't agree." ”

Wang Qi nodded: "The Jin army will send troops to recover Yunzhou Shuozhou, and then continue to advance westward, encroaching on the untouched territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Hetao Plain will bear the brunt!" ”

"Good. I immediately sent the news back to the capital. ”

Wang Qi glanced at the scar on Qin Hui's face and said, "Lord Qin, I have a bottle of ointment that can remove scars and whiten it, and I will serve it to you another day." ”

Qin Hui's face changed slightly, and he refused: "Thank you." But I want to keep it and keep it to remind myself. ”

The two of them had another drink and said goodbye.

Qin Hui returned home, wrote a secret message, stuffed it into the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's legs, and then threw it with both hands, and the pigeon fluttered its wings vigorously and flew into the night sky. Qin Hui's heart felt warm.
