Chapter 597: Xiangguo, Xingqing Mansion Sent Envoys Again (Second Update)
Chapter 597
"Could he be hiding from us on purpose?" After leaving Wang Yang's mansion, Liang Zuo couldn't help but look back at him on horseback, and muttered to Liang Shou in a low voice.
"He's not hiding from us." Liang Shou's face was terrifyingly dark, and it seemed that the matter was true. "Let's go, let's go find other Song officials to inquire, and we must confirm the news, how the Song court is going to make peace with Western Xia."
"Okay." Seeing his cousin's expression like this, Liang Zuo also knew that something was wrong, so he didn't say anything more. followed Liang Shou away.
It was not until the evening that the two brothers dragged their tired bodies back to the inn where they were staying. When the two brothers sat down, they were not in the mood and looked at the brazier in front of them in a daze.
Because the news collected by Tongdi in one day is really not optimistic.
"I actually used my uncle as a bargaining chip, despicable, shameless." Liang Zuo slapped his palm on the couch, and there was a deep sense of grievance and frustration on his tired face.
"Such vicious methods, such ruthless calculations, in this way, no matter whether the father descends or not, Song Ting is already in an invincible position." Liang Shou sneered.
"Aren't they worried about Beiliao's move?" Liang Zuo couldn't help but ask this resourceful brother.
"Northern Liao made a move, which time did Northern Liao make a move, and Western Xia didn't have to pay the price? In the past, whenever we funded the Northern Liao to let our Western Xia fight against the Song court, at least one-third of the population and property obtained would be taken out and belonged to them. ”
"Now that my father has 100,000 troops and is in charge of the Jianing Military Division, Li Qianshun Xiao'er wants to take us, and the price he pays must be very heavy, so even if he uses the army of Northern Liao, I am afraid that when the time comes, not only will the Jianing Military Division still belong to Western Xia, but also the land of the four states such as Naxia Prefecture and Longzhou will most likely become the things on the plate of Northern Liao......"
"Therefore, as long as Li Qianshun is not stupid, he will only ask Northern Liao to send troops at the last moment. Nowadays, at most, it is just to ask for food, weapons, and baggage in the hope of equipping enough soldiers and horses to prevent accidents. ”
"But if Song Ting stood up at this moment and told Li Qianshun that the Great Song was willing to cooperate with Western Xia to deal with his father together. With Song Ting's always kept his promises, as long as Song Court is not too greedy, do you think Li Qianshun will ask for help from Northern Liao, or will he ask Song Court for help? ”
After Liang Shou said this, Liang Zuo's face couldn't help but change greatly. "If the younger brother is Li Qianshun, the Great Song Dynasty defeated my Western Xia, it was the time when the army was sharp, and my Great Xia is now losing troops and generals, and there is civil strife, so it is naturally the best policy to be able to rebuild the old friendship with the Great Song Dynasty."
"If so, if Song Ting only needs Jianing Military Division, and is willing to attack his uncle with Li Qianshun......"
"In terms of the past behavior of the Song court, at least above the national politics, it is very promise-keeping, compared to the greedy Northern Liao, Li Qianshun must be very happy to let the victorious Song army compete with his father, and he can take the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, waiting for the opportunity to come out."
"In other words, if Song Ting and Li Qianshun really make an agreement, I'm afraid that my Liang clan will really have no way out......" Speaking of this, Liang Shou sighed deeply.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he had deliberately delayed these days, just hoping to get more benefits for the Liang family and his father when he returned to the Great Song Dynasty.
But now it seems that instead of succeeding, his and his father's actions have angered the Song officials. Now, they are very neat and easy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
"In any case, we must not let them make peace." Liang Shou slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table.
Liang Zuo looked at his cousin with a cloudy expression, his eyes were ghostly and revered for a long time, and he asked in a low voice. "Cousin, you mean we ...... halfway" Speaking of this, Liang Zuo also made a cutting gesture.
"Do you really want my Liang clan to be wiped out?" Liang Shou looked at this cousin who was extremely loyal to the Liang family, but his IQ was slightly in arrears.
"As long as things are a little careless, they will definitely leak the news and kill the Song envoy without permission, and at that time, there will be nothing to talk about."
"What should I do?" Liang Zuo said with a depressed expression.
"Of course, I will inform my father as soon as possible so that he can know Song Ting's actions, and in addition, I will also inform my father of my thoughts and let him make a decision as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Liang Shou let out a long sigh helplessly.
"Before, it was Song Ting who was in a hurry, and we were not in a hurry, but now, Song Ting is not in a hurry, but we are in a hurry, and we are not in a hurry."
Soon, Liang Shou wrote a secret letter, summoned a guard, and asked him to send it to Hongzhou and hand it over to his father.
After the guards left, Liang Shou stood in front of the door, watching the flying snow flakes blow into the room with the cold wind, and then melt away, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.
"Song Ting's reaction was too fast, in such a short period of time, he actually thought of such a vicious strategy, so that his father's good strategy of wanting to die and survive was broken."
"It seems that the Great Song Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, and there are really many talented people...... "Liang Zuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion." By the way, cousin, who do you think would have come up with this poison trick? ”
"In any case, it must be inseparable from that Wang Yang Wang Wushan." When Liang Shou thought of Wang Yang's cheap smile, he felt a deep pain, nine times out of ten, only this kind of old driver with a knife hidden in his smile could think of this kind of trick that pierced people's hearts and did not follow common sense.

"The last general pays a visit to Lord Xiangguo, and the last general is on the order of General Li to deliver a letter......" A confidant general of Li Mao who came covered in wind and snow quickly entered Liang Yiqi's study, first saluted respectfully, and then took out a letter stamped with fire paint from his bosom and presented it.
The guards beside Liang Yikui stepped forward and picked up the letter, opened it, and saw that there was no abnormality, and then handed it to Liang Yikui's hand.
General Li Mao Li has now completely controlled Youzhou, and now, many of the generals in the original 10,000 defenders of Youzhou have been quietly controlled by him. As long as Liang Yiqi gives an order here, the entire Youzhou will be in his Liang Yikui's grasp.
However, on the Yanzhou side, there has already been a garrison of 20,000 people quietly arrived, but now who is leading the army is and so on, is investigating, if there is a result, it will be transmitted to Hongzhou as soon as possible.
Seeing this, the Sichuan character lines on Liang Yikui's brows couldn't help but deepen a few points. After thinking about it, he put the letter on the candlestick and lit it, and after it was burned out, he threw it on the bucket beside him, and then he wrote a letter to Li Mao and handed it to the person who sent the letter.
After thinking about it, he whispered to Li Mao's henchman who sent the letter. "Tell General Li that if the situation is tight, all the fortresses can be abandoned, but Youzhou City must not be lost, understand?"
"Xiangguo rest assured, the last general will definitely tell General Li your words personally." The messenger was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, and then respectfully withdrew from Liang Yiqi's study.
"Xiangguo, Xiangguo, Xingqing Mansion has sent envoys again, do you see it?" As soon as the messenger left, another of his cronies walked into the study and reported to Liang Yi.
