Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she heard Han Derang sing Xue Shisan's name, and she was stunned for a while and said: "Xue Shisan's name Yanzi has heard of it, but I really don't know who he is!" ”

Han Derang frowned and said: "Xue Shisan was a cadre at the time of Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiaoyi's mutiny, and the official commanded the envoy in front of the palace!" ”

"Xue Shisan is Zhao Kuangyin's personal guard?" Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at Han Derang suspiciously and said, "Such a weighty person is not clear!" ”

Han Derang smiled and said, "People are different, flowers are different!" Xue Shisan has always been a lamenter who is not very public, and Weichen also knew about him after he left office; What's more, little sister Yanzi, you are the lord of a country in the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said, "The commanders in front of the palace are first-class officials!" is the same as the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, but his responsibilities are different and he does not participate in the government! ”

"Little Sister Swallow is not wrong, Xue Shisan is a first-class member with the prime minister!" Han Derang raised his arm and said excitedly: "Xue Shisan is the thirteenth grandson of Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County in the Tang Dynasty, who is both wise and brave, and has strong martial arts; Since the Song Dynasty, no one has been able to beat it! ”

"Xue Shisan is the descendant of Xue Rengui!" Empress Dowager Xiao was surprised and said: "That's really a tiger out of the door, a generation is as strong as a generation!" ”

"What Sister Yan said is excellent!" Han Derang stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Xue Shisan has a son named Xue Wenxuan, who is a Wenchen, and now he is the prefect of Weizhou in the Song Kingdom, and Cao Wei, the general, fought against Western Xia; Xue Shisan has a granddaughter named Xue Jin'er, who is even better than her grandparents; At a young age, he has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and he is known as Mu Guiying, who broke the heavens and the gates! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao gasped and said in astonishment: "There are descendants of Xue Rengui in the Southern Dynasty, and the blueprint for Yanzi and Brother Jean to realize the unification of China is probably even more difficult!" ”

"That's not true!" Han Derang said impassionedly, walking around the tent hall and turning back and standing in front of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he said with a heartfelt voice: "Get rid of the third grandson of Xue Shi, and remove obstacles for the unification of the world by the Great Liao!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao was dumbfounded, and Han Derang smiled and said: "Weichen opened the Western Xia envoy Zhang Laogu and the three of them, and what they discussed with Yan Xiaomei alone was the matter of killing Xue Shi's third grandson!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao pondered for a moment and said excitedly: "The little sister listens to her brother, and let the brother's deployment be the will of the little sister!" ”

Han Derang lowered his head in contemplation, and said eloquently: "Xue Shisan is Zhao Kuangyin's personal guard, after Zhao Kuangyin died inexplicably; Xue Shisan suspected that Zhao Guangyi had committed a poisonous attack. Once drunk and told the doubts in his heart, the troublesome person reported Zhao Guangyi; Zhao Guangyi wanted to get rid of Xue Shisan, but Kou Zhun got the news in advance, and Kou Zhun advised Xue Shisan to quickly hand over the military power, disarm and return to the field; Go back to Fengxiang Mansion to be a townsman! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and said, "So Xue Shisan is not in Bianliang, the Song capital, but in Xianghewan, Fengxiang Mansion?" ”

"That's right!" Han Derang said impassionedly: "After Xue Shisan became a township prince, he built Parrot Island in Xianghe Bay, and Zhao Guangyi asked Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei to send people to monitor; The scout reported back the news that Xue Shisan had been building a parrot island in Xianghe Bay all day to raise fish and ducks. Zhao Guangyi said happily: As long as the Xue family buddies are not anti-Tang like the ancestor Xue Gang, don't interfere in the construction of the Tianyu Palace; So let the branch division allocate 100,000 coins to support Xue Shisan! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and said, "Let my brother say this, Yanzi understands what you mean!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Xue Shisan and Xue Jin'er are the two dragons harbored by the Song Kingdom, if we want to defeat Kou Zhun, we must first get rid of Xue Shisan and Xue Jin'er, right?" ”

"Yan Xiaomei Shengming!" Han De said excitedly: "Xue Shisan and his granddaughter Xue Jin'er are hiding in the middle of the Guanzhong, if they rush over from Datong Mansion, they will not be able to cross the layers of passes of the Song Kingdom; But from the Western Xia Lingzhou interspersed past, it was smooth sailing! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao clapped her palms and smiled, and said, "Let my brother be smart, what do you mean: We sent someone to accompany the envoys of the Xia State to mourn Li Jiqian, but then entered Fengxiang Mansion!" ”

"Emperor Chengtian Empress Dowager Shengming!" Han Derang shouted and knelt down on one knee and said: "Weichen is not talented, I am willing to lead a group of people to kill the third grandson of Xue Shi through Western Xia, and clear the stumbling block that hinders the unification of China for Yan Xiaomei; I hope that the little sister will be gracious! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes widened in shock, and she stared at Han Derang for a while; With affection silently, he pressed his body against his chest, and the little bird snuggled up like a human and said, "How can such a difficult task allow King Wenzhong to go out in person? ”

He pressed his hand on Han Derang's cheek and stroked his eyes, and said with tears: "Let my brother go, who will accompany my little sister?" How is it good for a little sister to be lonely and lonely in the long night......"

Empress Dowager Xiao wept for a moment, waved her arms sonorously and forcefully, and said: "There are thousands of brave generals in the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, how can King Wenzhong be out of the horse with a small assassination!" Let Xiao Tzu be the condolence envoy first, and lead a group of people to Western Xia, and he will definitely be able to succeed in ......"

Xiao Tzu is in his 31s and often has a tiger's back; He is the general of the army of the Hou clan official Seal Room.

After Xiao Tzu first received the holy decree of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he immediately summoned 30 Xiao cavalry captains and his 31 men to form an expeditionary knight team to assemble in the school field; Accepted by Empress Dowager Xiao and King Wenzhong Han Derang for review.

Empress Dowager Xiao was under the protection of more than a dozen guards of the guard Yelu Dahui, wearing a scarlet xia cloak; Dressed in a short jacket with arrow sleeves; The mandarin duck sword and Han Derang walked side by side, and rushed to the school to see the 31 Xiao cavalry captains, all of whom were in good spirits and high morale; I couldn't help but smile.

Empress Dowager Xiao circled around the brave soldiers of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom and waved her arms and said, "Soldiers, the time has come for the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom to test you; This operation has the general Xiao Tzu first, and it will definitely be a success! ”

The 31 horsemen raised their arms and shouted: "Long live the Empress Dowager Chengtian!" Hooray! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao made a gesture to stop and said with a smile in her heart: "What, long live, long live, long live?" Go bastard! People should live a thousand years old as a fine, and if they live long live, they are demons! ”

After thinking about it in his heart, he looked at Han Derang, who was standing on the side, and said, "Please also ask King Wenzhong to speak!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang, like Han Derang, do not call nicknames but only official names where there are people, and the tacit understanding between the two is really seamless; It has created a historical precedent for the seamless combination of Fanhan and Han.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao was so humble, Han Derang did not shirk, and walked in front of the 31 Xiao cavalry captains and said: "You 31 people are 31 steel knives, and you will fight a bloody road on the land of the Song Dynasty to open the way for the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom to unify the Central Plains and build bridges when encountering water; I hope that you will live up to the expectations of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and have a smooth journey......"

Without further ado, pull the cow to set the cart.

It is only said that Xiao Tzu led 3 Xiao cavalry captains and 31 of his men to ride 31 sturdy war horses, and the Xiao cavalry captains each carried weapons and stepped on the Turkic scimitar; Accompanied by the Western Xia envoys Zhang Laogu, Charlie and Zhang Zhen, they traveled on the desert for a few days and came to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, to meet the young lord Li Deming.

Li Deming also met with Xiao Tzuxian's 31 horsemen in the tent.

Xiao Tzu first took out the edict of Empress Dowager Xiao and Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, and named Li Deming as Emperor Guangxiao; After Li Deming received the edict of thanks, he gave a big gift and set up a banquet to entertain 31 Xiao Cavalry Captains of Xiao Tzuxian.

Xiao Tzu first and Li Deming had three rounds of wine, and the dishes had five flavors; Fang disclosed that they were going to go to Song Guofengxiang's Mansion to take a trip to Xianghe Bay.

Li Deming was stunned for a long time and almost had a seizure, thinking that the Khitan Tartars were too bullying; Suddenly proposed to go to Fengxiang Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion is the realm of the Song Kingdom, Xiao Tzu rushed there first and did not destroy the Song Dynasty?

Li Deming's current national policy is to attach himself to the Song Dynasty by Liao, and he doesn't want to offend the two big countries; In fact, I can't afford to offend.

With a tiger on one side and a lion on the other, Li Deming, a fox, can only act at the opportunity; But Xiao Tzu first entered the Song realm through Western Xia, which was a clear offense to the Song Dynasty, and if the Song Dynasty was to blame, he sent troops to conscript; Western Xia is afraid that the country is in danger of overthrowing.

If Li Deming stood up to stop Xiao Tzu from rushing to Fengxiang Mansion first, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State would probably have to turn her face.

Li Deming thought about it and finally decided, asked about the situation and then dealt with it decisively; The initial stability should not be destroyed by choking on food.

Li Deming's father, Li Jiqian, had just died, and the Western Xia soldiers were defeated in the Hexi Corridor by the combined forces of Pan Luozhi, the great leader of the Six Valleys of Tibet, and the Great Khan, the Uighurs of Ganzhou. It is difficult to form combat effectiveness for a while, and at this time, whether it is the Liao and Song dynasties attacking Western Xia; Li Deming had no power to fight back.

Li Deming thought about it in his heart, so he drank a cup of himself and looked at Xiao Tzu and laughed first, and said: "The lonely family dares to ask General Xiao, what is the business trip to the Great Song Fengxiang Mansion?" ”

Li Deming's question made Xiao Tzuxian very embarrassed; He didn't say it, Li Deming was the Guangxiao Emperor of the Great Xia State who had just been rewarded by the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom.

Speaking of which, I am afraid that Li Deming will come forward to obstruct it, after all, this is the land of the Western Xia Kingdom; If there is a falling out in the two times, it will not be a piece of cake for Li Deming to kill all his soldiers in the city to kill their 31 cavalry captains......
