Northwest.

After Han Jiang personally stared at the construction of the new Heiluo City, and dispatched 5,000 elite soldiers to be stationed here, he went to the gathering area of the Heiluo tribe again, and when he saw that the people of the Heiluo tribe had accepted their fate and took root in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they were completely idle.

Although the process was a bit bumpy, in the past few months, he has accumulated enough credit for him to return to the center of the imperial court and re-serve as the veritable vice minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even after Han Qi retreated, with these great feats he had made, he still had a great chance to defeat Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi and others, and become the head of a hundred officials under one person and above ten thousand people.

For achieving so many great achievements, the person Han Jiang is most grateful for is, of course, Zhang Bin, not to mention the great victory in Dashun City at the front.

It can be said that without Zhang Bin, there would be no more than 7,000 beheadings in the Hengshan Victory that he turned the Black Luo Department into the second Zhe clan, completely controlled the Meridian Dao, and the great victory of Hengshan.

However, when Han Jiang received the reward from the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, his face was extremely ugly.

His title was directly promoted from the county prince to the national duke, and the scattered officials were promoted by two levels, from the second-grade Zhuyin Qingguanglu doctor to the first-grade Zhujin Ziguanglu doctor, and the honorable officer also went directly to the eleventh turn, and then one turn to the top of the honorable officer.

In addition, the Son of Heaven also rewarded him with 10,000 yuan of money and 1,000 acres of fertile land.

The reward is not heavy, and now that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only Han Qi can overpower him in terms of titles, loose officials and honorable officers.

However, along with the reward from the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, there was also a decree and another document from the imperial court.

"If you lose the battle with the Liao people in the north and can't return to the center of the imperial court, what is the use of these rewards?" Han Jiang smiled warmly and rewarded the eunuch with silver, and after he retreated, his face instantly became extremely gloomy.

However, although there were complaints in his heart, Han Jiang knew that he had to obey the will and the orders of the imperial court, because the Liao army was approaching Beiguan, this matter was too big, if he dared to delay in the slightest, his political enemies in the imperial court would never let go of any opportunity for impeachment, and even smashed the black cauldron of the final defeat on him.

In that case, not only will he not be able to return to the center of the imperial court and become the prime minister again, but he may even wipe out the great achievements he made in the northwest.

Therefore, on the day he received the will, Han Jiang immediately packed up his things, arranged the affairs of the northwest, and rushed to Zhending Mansion with 5,000 elites of the Western Army.

The elite of the 5,000 Western Army was Wang Sunchen, who had just been rewarded and became the son of Qin'an County, the flying cavalry captain, and the commander of the military capital.

But on the day when Han Jiang rushed to Zhending Mansion in a depressed mood, he received a secret letter sent by Zhang Bin from Tokyo City.

After reading the secret letter, Han Jiang was immediately overjoyed, laughed three times, and summoned the military generals above the third rank and the civil officials above the fifth rank in the Zhending Mansion to hold a secret discussion and made a series of arrangements.

There are some places where these arrangements do not make sense, and they were questioned by some border generals and civil officials of Zhending Mansion, but they were all forcibly suppressed by Han Jiang with the respect of the deputy prime minister, and then implemented them honestly.

"Zhang Bin is simply my Han Jiang's auspicious star, every time I need it, he can always help me, and he is the kind of help I need the most." After Han Jiang arranged all kinds of military affairs, he carefully read Zhang Bin's secret letter, his face showed sincere gratitude, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.

………

In the capital, Xiao Xi didn't know that his secret letter to Xiao Tianxiong, the king of the Southern Courtyard, had been dropped, and on the third day of sending the letter, he entered the palace again and threatened Zhao Ji, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and the ministers of the two prefectures.

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister received news from the country that the remnants of the rebels who rebelled in the early stage of our Daliao fled into the Song State, and were taken in and harbored by the Song people of Zhending Mansion, if your country can't hand over the remnants of the rebels to my Daliao as soon as possible, or cede the land of Daibei, and then raise the annual coin to compensate, my Daliao 100,000 iron cavalry will definitely go south." This time Xiao Xi said very clearly, and compared to the gentle and elegant when he first came to the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo City a few days ago, he was silent in his heart, and now Xiao Xi's thoughts are all revealed on his face and words, which makes him even more arrogant.

And Xiao Xi directly tore his face, like a rogue bully, the coercion made the Great Song Junchen extremely angry, Zhao Ji was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't wait to directly order the guards to pull Xiao Xi out and cut it into more than a dozen pieces.

Even Han Qi, who was silent when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, had a cold face, and the cold light in his eyes flickered, and he was really angry.

Lu Gongbi was also trembling with anger, and wanted to open his mouth to scold Xiao Xi several times, but in the end, he wanted to speak and stopped.

Wen Yanbo was angry, but there was a sense of sadness and helplessness, exposing the fear and weakness of the Liao people in his heart.

Wang Anshi still did not hesitate to scold: "Ambassador Xiao Hugh wants to frame my Great Song Dynasty, your Liao State said that my Great Song Dynasty harbored the remnants of your Liao State rebels, but there is evidence, if there is no evidence, Hugh will talk nonsense here." ”

Zhang Bin looked at Wang Anshi angrily, and wanted to pounce on Xiao Xi and swallow Xiao Xi in one bite, but even the words of reprimand still seemed very civilized, and he thought that he was worthy of being one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties who had been famous for thousands of years, and he was also worthy of being the deputy minister of my Chinese Heavenly Dynasty and the state of etiquette.

is obviously angry to the extreme, and he still pays attention to the wording and etiquette, and he probably hasn't said swear words in his life.

It's like in some national congresses in later generations, when the parties talked and talked with each other, swear words soared, and even things were smashed at each other.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Xi would also pay attention to his words, just like Wang Anshi, quarreling or refuting in a civilized manner, and saying some nonsense to each other that actually has no meaning.

But now Xiao Xi is no longer normal, which can be seen from the increasing bloodshot in his eyes, and the most intuitive embodiment is that he usually exposes the darkest side of his usual efforts to hide in his expression and language.

So after Xiao Xi listened to Wang Anshi's reprimand, he sneered and ridiculed: "Wang Anshi, what if there is no evidence, my Da Liao said that your Great Song Dynasty harbored the remnants of the rebels, how can you prove that you are not harboring." If there is no way to prove it, and you don't want to cede the land of Daibei and increase the silver of the year, just wait for me to ride south! ”

Wang Anshi was so angry that he trembled and was about to refute, and was specially called into the palace by Zhao Ji, but Zhang Bin, who had not been silent, suddenly spoke first: "Xiao Xi, you have made an agreement with Xiao Tianxiong, the king of the Southern Courtyard of your country, to let the army sneak attack a certain military village in my Zhending Mansion after the seventeenth day, that is, on the thirteenth day of September!" ”

When Xiao Xi heard this, he was shocked, and then his face changed, as if he had seen a ghost, he stared at Zhang Bin deadly, and said in a lost voice: "How do you know." ”

Zhang Bin said: "Last night, Yelu Shiwu drank and had fun with the meat prostitute in the room, and when he was happy, he said, although the meat prostitute is lowly, but he is my Great Song Dynasty people, since he knows that the Liao people are going to attack my Great Song Dynasty military village, how can he not report to me." ”
