Chapter 755: Pressing Step by Step (Three Watches)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Although the emperor of the Song Dynasty was weak externally, he was very ruthless internally, especially in the military, and would rather destroy his limbs than repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty, so the Song Dynasty eventually died in the hands of others, rather than in the hands of his own people.

It can be seen from this that it was a taboo for the emperor of the Song Dynasty to transfer troops without authorization, and Li Qi would never dare to use his brains in this regard unless it was necessary.

However, the current situation has made him unable to take care of so much, if the situation here is truthfully told to Song Huizong, it is conceivable that Tong Guan and Cai You will definitely find all kinds of reasons to start a war against Western Xia, especially Tong Guan, this eunuch who is not like a eunuch understands that war is his advantage, once he enters the peaceful and prosperous era, then he will fall out of favor, and may even attract death.

In fact, Li Qi also wanted to use troops against Western Xia, after all, the other party rode to the head, but now the situation is different, there is still a fierce tiger in the north eyeing there, once the Great Song Dynasty really has a full-scale war with Western Xia, as long as Wan Yan Sheng does not break his head, then he will definitely take advantage of the fisherman and take the opportunity to make a profit. Therefore, Li Qi must be patient, and his idea is to unite with Western Xia and jointly contain the Jin State.

But this kind of forbearance is not the kind of humiliating forbearance, this is by no means Li Qi's style, what he wants is the kind of naturalness, and the other party has to take the initiative to come to him.

So, he took advantage of the fact that the army of the family and the army of the family were advancing from the village, and ordered someone to release the news, saying that the Great Song Tun gathered five or six hundred thousand troops and attacked in three directions, preparing to destroy the Western Xia in one fell swoop. What do you say, the Great Song Dynasty has invented a new weapon, and with the help of this weapon, it will be invincible. At the same time, Lanzhou's reinforcements also left Lanzhou City, advanced fifty miles and camped there, and began to deploy defenses on the front line, the scale was jaw-dropping.

Obviously, this is one of Richie's hypes. You must know that hype is not only in the entertainment industry, but also a common means in politics.

Now in the northwest, rumors are rife, those merchants in the past have stopped trading, and Li Qi also asked Zuixianju to suspend business with Western Xia, and the two sides are waiting for each other.

The Planter Army and the Zhejia Army also conducted large-scale training at the border to show off their muscles. From time to time, a few cannons were fired with grenades borrowed from Li Qi, and they were specially selected to be fired at night, which could confuse the soldiers of Western Xia, but the Song army never crossed the border.

All kinds of rumors, coupled with the movements of the Song army, the army seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

In fact, when the Zhejia army reached the east of the Yellow River, half of the Western Xia soldiers gathered in Lanzhou went to help, they didn't dare to underestimate the Zhejia army, plus the vanguard army of the first few ri was wiped out by the Song army in just a few hours, and even the main general did not escape, what kind of strength is this!

They had to associate this with the new weapon rumored outside, and at the beginning of this year, the Great Song Dynasty Weapons Supervisor became famous all over the world, the key is that they have not seen this new weapon, which makes them even more afraid, where do they dare to attack, and firmly guard the border to prevent the Song army from suddenly attacking.

Obviously, this move of the Song army to encircle Wei and save Zhao has achieved good results, at least the Lanzhou crisis has been resolved.

Seeing that the Song army was approaching step by step, Western Xia began to ask for help from the big brother Jin Guo. Jin Guo now doesn't know what kind of powerful weapons the Song army has invented, and Wan Yan Sheng has just ascended the throne, they are preparing to recuperate and consolidate internal affairs, and that day Emperor Zuo Yelu Yanxi has not been caught, as long as Emperor Tianzuo is not dead, then how can they sleep peacefully in the face of thousands of Khitans, let alone send troops to the Great Song Dynasty, besides, he still wants the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to the Western Xia.

However, he did not directly refuse Western Xia, after all, the other party had already surrendered to him, but he just said that he should not be afraid, the Song army did not dare to make a move, and he would also put pressure on the Song court. In addition, he used the reason that the Song State was his ally and that Emperor Tianzuo had not yet seized the reason to prevaricate Western Xia.

The Xixia people also understood Jin Guo's thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was more afraid, and he was also afraid that if he fought with the Great Song Dynasty, if Jin Guo stabbed him in the back, then Xixia would die.

The emperor of Western Xia, who saw this clearly, gradually understood a fact in his heart, between the three kingdoms of Western Xia, Song, and Jin, except for the Jin State, whoever made the first move would die first.

In the big tent.

"X, j, q, k, a. Junzi - Do you want the two of you? It seems that it can't afford it, big and small, a pair of juniors. Hehe, I have a total of three bombs, plus the two of you have not played a card, which is equivalent to four bombs, we are the bottom of fifty Wen, then it is - I calculate, one hundred, two hundred, four hundred, eight hundred, not much, not much, only eight hundred Wen. ”

Li Qi looked at the two bitter faces of the planter and the fold of the store, and said happily.

"Eight hundred wen for a handful?"

Zhe Kecun looked at Li Qi in surprise.

Li Qi smiled: "Didn't General Zhe say that I was opportunistic? You can ask the seed farmer about this! ”

This kid is so yin. The seed master scolded secretly and nodded helplessly.

Zhe Kecun's depressed eyes were red, and he heard Li Qi say that he could play casually, just fifty yuan, thinking that his little money could still hold on, but he didn't expect that this one would kill him! At this time, he had only one thought in his heart, and that was to fall for Li Qi.

"Bu Shuai."

At this time, Yue Fei suddenly walked in, but as soon as he saw that the three big guys were actually playing poker, he was immediately stupid, and looked at the scene in front of him blankly, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Seed Master Dao coughed lightly and said, "Yue Fei, what's the matter with you?" ”

Yue Fei was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "According to the report from the sentry, the envoys of Western Xia are already on the way. ”

The planter sighed, his face was very solemn, and said, "This is a big deal, you go and let others come to the tent to discuss things." ”

Zhe Kecun nodded and said, "Yes, just call Mitsuki and Hikotsu." ”

"Yes."

Yue Fei nodded, and immediately turned around and left.

The planter got up and said, "Chief, the old man will wash his face first." ”

"Well, I want to go down and set it up. Seed Gong please. ”

"Please."

The two of them walked briskly outside.

Hey? Wasn't that something I expected, why were you so nervous? Wait, you haven't paid yet! Seed father, you can do this kind of thing, it's too shameless.

Li Qi, who realized it in hindsight, almost didn't tear the entire poker to shreds.

After a while, Yue Fei, Niu Gao, Zheyanzhi and other generals all came to the big tent, but the atmosphere was very strange.

Li Qi sat on the upper seat, didn't say a word, pouted, and kept glancing at the two of them, but neither of them did see them, one closed his eyes and recuperated, and the other talked quietly with Zhe Meiyue.

It's so shameless, don't give money, but also give an explanation! Li Qi shook his head helplessly and asked, "Yue Fei, do you know who the other party sent?" ”

Yue Fei saw that Li Qi finally spoke, and he was inexplicably relieved, and said, "Back to Bushuai, the person who came is the Prince of Western Xia, Richard." ”

"Him?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and laughed.

The planter asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Li Qi said: "I don't know, when the Four Kingdoms Banquet, I also had an exchange with this Richard, and the first half of the acquaintance, Xixia sent him here, obviously to play the friendship card - oh my mother, how did I mention the card today, I feel like something is missing." ”

Yue Fei and the others all felt inexplicable when they heard Li Qi's words.

Hearing that he was holding on to the eight hundred yuan, the seed master was angry and funny in his heart, pretending not to know, and said with a deep brow: "Then you mean that Xixia wants to reconcile with us." ”

Li Qi was also afraid that the Seed Master Dao would be mad, so he stopped at the point, nodded, and said, "Not bad." The Western Xia originally wanted to seize Lanzhou and the Hehuang region, but obviously their plan did not succeed, not only did they not succeed, but also lost their troops. However, if we don't retreat, they don't dare to retreat, and now they are stealing chickens and rice, and it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. ”

Seed Master Dao nodded slightly and said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Li Qi said: "Then it depends on what they say." ”

Seeing the smile on the corner of Li Qi's mouth, the seed master shook his head with a smile, in this regard, he was still very sure of Li Qi.

The next morning.

In front of the barracks, I saw a column of soldiers holding spear handles on all sides, heavily guarded, and the snow-bright spear heads exuded a chilling cold glow.

Li Qi, Seed Master Dao and others also came to the big tent at the right time, no matter how they said that the other party was also a prince, they couldn't be too cold.

At this moment, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed over. I saw Richard with a few entourage and forty or fifty guards, coming to the big tent.

"Golden Knife Chef King, it has been more than a year since the farewell of the Four Kingdoms Banquet, but I really want to die as a brother." Richard got off the horse, and before Richie could speak, he rushed forward, took his hand affectionately, and said enthusiastically.

For brothers? You're going to get close, too. Li Qi said: "Lord Wang, you want me to cook." ”

"Haha. I want to do it all, I want it all! ”

Richard laughed, and then arched his hand towards the seed master and Zhe Kecun: "Seed master, Folded general, don't come to harm." But I was secretly surprised in my heart, the three of them gathered here, could it be that those rumors were true?

"Courteous, courteous."

The fold and the kind of two-person table xiàn are unusually bland.

After a short greeting, the group came to the Lanzhou Mansion.

"Lord Wang, please be seated."

"Please."

After the people sat down, the servant also brought the refreshment, but the tea was like clear water, and the pastry was even darker, and there was no appetite for it.

Richard glanced at the pastry, his heart was like a mirror, but he pretended not to know: "This pastry is so strange, it is not newly developed by the King of Golden Knife Chefs." ”

Damn, you're ruining my reputation. Li Qi lamented: "Of course not, in fact, this is made of grass roots and glutinous rice, don't be surprised, I learned yesterday that the prince came, but I also want to make a few delicious pastries for the prince to point out, but unfortunately it is difficult for the good woman to cook without rice." Speaking of which I am not afraid of the prince's jokes, the tens of thousands of stone grain that we transported to the northwest in the Great Song Dynasty suddenly disappeared, no, the remaining grain can only be left for the soldiers to eat, they are ready to go into battle to kill the enemy at any time, they can't be hungry, there is no way, we commanders can only lead by example, eat these grass roots to fill the stomach, by the way, you Xixia is so close to here, I don't know if the prince knows where our grain went? ”

Richard was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The chef said that he laughed, how would I know." However, the high wind and bright festival of several people really make me admire! ”

Zhi Kecun laughed a few times and said: "Where, where, we are also forced to be helpless, Gao Feng Liangjie is really ashamed." ”

Richard glanced at Zhe Kecun, and suddenly said: "By the way, General Zhe, Seed Gong, I recently heard that your Folded Army and Seed Family Army often go out to practice, and they are more diligent than usual." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Qi, Seed Master Dao and others all glanced at each other. Zhi Kecun said with a smile: "Soldiers naturally have to be trained, are you Xixia soldiers all kept at home?" As for why there are more than usual, this is a military secret of my Great Song Dynasty, and I can't tell you, and I hope the prince will forgive me. ”

Richard said, "It's natural for you to train your troops, but is there something wrong with the location you chose?" (To be continued.) )
