Chapter 301: Fierce Battle (5)
Empress Dowager Xiao raised her head and glanced at Wang Jizhong who was standing in front of her a few times, nodded to him with satisfaction and said, "Thank you to the envoy Wang for bringing boats and river crossing tools to the army!" ”
Wang Jizhong hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, and said: "The Queen Mother is wise, how can Weichen be unfilial and loyal!" ”
Wang Jizhong is also a bloody man, and the Liao army invaded the south in the sixth year of Xianping; The Great Song Dynasty, Zhen, Ding, and Gaoyang Pass all deployed Fu Qiangui to shrink Dingzhou City without fighting, and Wang Jizhong led the army to go alone; Kill from dark to dawn, and from dawn to dark; His subordinates suffered all casualties, Wang Jizhong was seriously injured and fell from his horse, and was captured by Yelu Nugua, the prime minister of the Northern Court of Liao.
After Wang Jizhong was captured, he also wanted to be a hero, and learned from the old Linggong Yang Ye who was unyielding and heroic a few years ago; However, this seemed difficult, because in front of him stood a graceful and elegant woman.
The elegant woman is no longer in the prime of her life, but she shows a transcendent and different beauty - fair skin and graceful figure; A smile and a smile all disturbed Wang Jizhong's uneasy heart: "Could it be that she is Xiao Xuan, the Empress Dowager of Liao Guochengtian!" ”
Wang Jizhong looked at the elegant woman who walked towards him and stood still with his bewildering eyes, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
After the elegant woman stood still, she looked at Wang Jizhong, stepped forward and carried him on her shoulder, smiled, and said, "General Wang doesn't know this palace?" This palace is Xiao Xuan, who was cursed by you before! ”
Xiao Xuan's self-introduction and carrying Wang Jizhong's shoulder made his bones soften all of a sudden.
What kind of exclamation that has forgotten one's ancestors, betrayed the country, and left a stench for thousands of years is useless at the moment; Wang Jizhong only has Xiao Xuan's beauty in his mind.
Empress Dowager Xiao did not embarrass Wang Jizhong after shouldering him, knowing that Wang was an old minister of Song Zhenzong's palace, and had a personal relationship with Emperor Zhenzong, and the relationship was not ordinary; The poop is courteous and thoughtful.
The etiquette seems to be a small thing, and the Empress Dowager Xiao saw the long-lost hope of a man from Wang Jizhong's eyes; He was awarded the post of envoy of the southern government of the Liao Dynasty.
Wang Jizhong killed hundreds of Liao troops, and after being captured, he was not tortured and returned to the officials; This can be a shock to anyone, too.
At this moment, Wang Jizhong was excited, and he had to be grateful to Empress Dowager Xiao first.
Wang Jizhong's gratitude to Empress Dowager Xiao is not only because of the official position of household envoy, but also because of her beauty.
In Wang Jizhong's mind, there are so many fair women in the Central Plains, none of them can match the appearance of the Empress Dowager Xiao; Wang Jizhong wanted to be Xue Huaiyi once, but Empress Dowager Xiao was fond of Han Derang and didn't like any man; Wang Jizhong felt very disappointed.
The reason why Xiao Sui looked at Wang Jizhong was that he thought he was a card; Hitting out as a last resort will turn things around.
Empress Dowager Xiao thought so and did so, and Wang Jizhong really played the role of Dinghai Divine Needle in the next Lanyuan Alliance.
The household envoy is not a high-ranking official, but he has a lot of power; He was in charge of the taxation, taxation, and salt and iron affairs of the Tokyo Road in Liaoguo, and was a powerful minister.
This is nothing, Empress Dowager Xiao in order to envelop Wang Jizhong; He also married him the grandniece of the Commer family.
Of course, Wang Jizhong knows that Kang Mo Ji is from the Song Dynasty; But in the Song Dynasty, the officials were not as good, but as soon as they arrived in the Liao Dynasty, they changed their guns and became a big official.
Kang Moji was born in the army, and served as a government school in Jizhou when he was young; When Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji attacked Jizhou, he captured a large number of Han people, and Kang Moji was also captured to Khitan.
Yelu Abaoji greatly appreciated Kang Moji's ability to keep him by his side.
At that time, there were already many Han people in the Khitan ruling area, and all matters involving the relationship between Fan and Han were entrusted to Kang Moji to mediate and deal with them.
Comer remembers to be conscientious and handle these things with ease; It is very much in line with Yelu Abaoji's heart.
Yelu Abaoji had just unified the grassland, and the decrees of the various tribes were not smooth soon after they were submitted; Commo presided over the work of the law, inferred and analyzed the meaning of the law, and judged the severity of the sentence without the slightest error; Those who break the law are convinced; They all think that there is nothing wronged.
Things can be done this far, and you can't be promoted if you don't want to; Soon, Kang Mo Ji was appointed as Zuo Shangshu; Become Yelu Abaoji's henchman.
It is a pity that after the death of Yelu Abaoji, the queen Shu Luping purged the dissident party; Kang Mo Ji became the funerary object of Liao Taizu.
Empress Dowager Xiao married Kang Moji's niece to Wang Jizhong, and Wang Jizhong had already surrendered to this beautiful Empress Dowager Chengtian from the bottom of his heart.
However, at that time, Wang Jizhong already had a wife and heirs in the Central Plains, and Empress Dowager Xiao ignored that; insisted on marrying Commer's niece to him; Wang Jizhong completely surrendered to Xiao Yanyan.
Just when Wang Jizhong regained his new love in Liao, the Song Dynasty also held a memorial service for him; Wang Jizhong was the former minister of Song Zhenzong's hidden mansion who died for the country, and the close minister of the Son of Heaven died for the country if he was such a high official; Doesn't this kind of spirit and this kind of integrity inspire everyone to struggle?
A few days after the memorial service, Wang Jizhong's handwritten to Emperor Zhenzong was pierced; Wang Jizhong scolded himself as a grandson in the letter, saying that he was sorry for the emperor, and that he not only did not die but also became an official in the Liao State, and the Emperor Chengtian and the Queen of Heaven treated him very well; Marry Commer's niece and granddaughter to him.
Song Zhenzong laughed when he saw Wang Jizhong's letter, and he opened a memorial service for Wang Jizhong here; He was solemnly commended for his spirit of sacrificing his life for the country, and his family was given the highest courtesy of the country.
Wang Jizhong's four sons in the Central Plains all entered the court as officials, and his wife was appointed as a first-class lady.
Who would have thought that Wang Jizhong would surrender to the Liao State without dying and become an official, which and where is this!
Song Zhenzong wanted to seek the opinions of Bi Shi'an, Kou Zhun, Zhang Di, Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei, Lin Te, Chen Pengnian, Liu Chengqi and others to see how to deal with this matter.
When I think that the stakes are high, if I ask the minister's opinion, it will inevitably be another party dispute; Emperor Zhenzong was broad-minded and thought that Wang Jizhong was his cronies; Since this is already the case, scolding him and condemning him is tantamount to blocking his back road, it is better to let him stay in Liao, and it may be useful.
The idea that the Song Zhen Sect came in handy was to make Wang Jizhong act as a peacemaker between the Song and Liao countries, so that the two countries could sit down and talk about ending the protracted war.
The war between Song and Liao has been fought for decades, since Taizu established the state; It's been 44 years now, and both sides seem to be exhausted after 44 years of war; Especially the Song side didn't want to fight for a long time, but the iron hooves of the Liao State still harassed the border; In Zheng Shuang's words: Even if you sit down to talk with the Liao, you have to fight him a few beautiful battles to gain a little more bargaining chips.
The heroes are slightly the same, and Song Zhenzong and Empress Dowager Xiao seem to be ready to take a step back.
After all, it is not a long-term solution for the two countries to fight and kill, so as to come; Wang Jizhong has really become a sweetheart, and both Song and Liao are reusing him.
Song Zhenzong is so merciful, if it is left in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wang Jizhong's family will not know how many times he has died.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was eloquent and strategic, but he was a stupid donkey in killing Li Ling's family, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a poor donkey.
Everyone knows that Li Ling's grandfather is the flying general Li Guang, and the three generations of the Li family are heroes who fought against the Huns; But Emperor Wu of Han didn't seem to be waiting to see him, and let Li Guang go out with his brother-in-law Wei Qing; Li Guang's army was defeated, and Wei Qing asked him to go to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to explain the situation, Li Guang killed tens of thousands of enemies, and he was defeated once, and he was escorted to see the emperor by a little general who was dozens of years younger; He chose to commit suicide and die for his country.
Li Ling is Li Guang's grandson, and it was not the fault of Emperor Wu of Han that his grandfather chose to commit suicide; Li Ling also thought so, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty always felt that Li Ling would blame him for his grandfather's death.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally seized an opportunity - Li Ling treasoned and surrendered to the enemy and beheaded more than 80 members of his family.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also too cruel, and after killing Li Ling's family, he completely blocked the way for Zhongliang to serve the country with iron blood.
The historian Sima Qian only excused Li Ling for a few words, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty brutally executed him in the palace; Turn a green man alive and become a waste.
In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (99 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Li Guangli (the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) to conquer the Xiongnu again as the main general, and asked Li Ling to bring 5,000 cavalry and crossbowmen to reinforce Li Guangli for the rear team.
Li Ling got the news and asked Emperor Wu of Han for his life; said that he didn't want to be Li Guangli's backup.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that Li Ling still remembered the hatred of his grandfather Li Guang - Wei Qing and Li Guangli were both the brothers-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he scolded Li Ling and said: "I know that you have always looked down on Li Guangli, and you are unwilling to give him backup, is there another plan!" ”
Li Ling stated the reason, and Emperor Wu of Han was very angry; But before the war, he didn't want to hurt Li Ling's feelings, so he did his best for the country, and had no choice but to intentionalize Li Ling's other army to attack the Xiongnu alone from another way.
But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a stupid donkey-like decision: let Li Ling's 5,000 soldiers hand over 5,000 war horses to Li Guangli, and Li Ling's 5,000 soldiers could only become infantry and march on two legs without war horses.
Li Ling's team, which had no horses, did not even have food, grass and backup, and completely became a lonely brigade on the Gobi Desert; A team of 5,000 men marched north with 500,000 crossbow arrows in carts......
