Chapter 592

The seed master couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, this is really true, although the Western Xia is a headache for the Great Song Dynasty, but compared to the more behemothic Northern Liao, it is really not worth mentioning.

The entire Western Xia claims to have an army of 500,000, but in fact, among its army, there will be no more than 150,000 people who are really full-time on the battlefield.

The rest are all half-soldiers and half-people, similar to the army of the Great Song Dynasty Xiangyong, but the Western Xia has a land of Hetao, and there are a lot of cavalry, and they often come and go like the wind, which makes the Great Song Dynasty have a headache.

As for the Northern Liao, it is the opponent whose national strength can be comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the past, the Western Xia relied on the fate between the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao, and then completely fell to the Northern Liao, relying on the support of the Northern Liao, to continue to spread wild in the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty.

And now, although Northern Liao has sent envoys to support Li Qianshun's pro-government, these things are more like hand-to-hand. may be in their eyes, Empress Xiao Liang has been captured, and the Liang clan only has Liang Xiangguo and a few Liang clansmen left, I am afraid that they will not be able to make any big waves.

If the Northern Liao knew about the calculations of the Great Song Dynasty, they should be able to sit quietly and wait for the Great Song Dynasty to occupy all the places of the Jianing Military Division and those states, then it can only mean that their Northern Liao court has decayed to the point that it is out of control and unbearable for a war.

"Cousin, did my uncle give you any instructions, do we really continue to stay here like this, watching the time gradually pass, and the means and soldiers of the Xingqing Mansion to prepare against our Liang clan will not succeed?" Liang Zuo was in the house, like an ant on a hot pot.

"Why are you in a hurry, the person surnamed Wang said this, obviously urging us to make a decision quickly, but I can't just follow their wishes, just a marquis, just want my father to sacrifice the land of two states and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, is this possible?" Liang Shou glared at Liang Zuo and shouted.

"Okay, I already know all your reasons, now is not the time for us to think about this, before the foolish brother came, my father had already explained, I hope I can continue to control the military power. Or, I hope to be like the Qing Tang Dynasty in the past, and get the official title of Song Ting, as the envoy of the Jianing Military Festival, and the history of You and Hong Erzhou. ”

"Cousin, it's not that the younger brother is talking cool here, the leader of the Qingtang Dynasty was originally the Tubo Zampu who took the initiative to lose his sincerity to the Song Court, and my uncle, or my Liang family, has always been an enemy of the Song Court, and now, because he is desperate, he has to negotiate with the Song Court on the terms......"

"That's enough, anyway, Youzhou and Hongzhou are in the hands of my father, if you don't take advantage of this time to wait for the price and sell, do you think my Liang family will have a chance to rise in the future?" Liang Shou glared at Liang Zuo, although he knew that his cousin was telling the truth.

But the problem is that he is Liang Yikui's eldest son, and his father's bargaining is also related to his future glory and wealth.

And Liang Zuo is not exactly from the same point of view. Regarding his cousin's answer, although Liang Zuo was dissatisfied, he was helpless. simply went back to his couch and leaned back, picked up a pot of wine and drank it while sighing.

And here, Liang Shou's heart is not calm, after all, what Wang Yang said also made him very worried. After thinking about it, in the end, Liang Shou simply took a pen and paper and wrote a letter, handed it to the hands of his henchmen, and then explained a few words to the guards left by the teacher.

Soon, a vote of Song army cavalry guards escorted Liang Shou's henchmen and guards towards Nahongzhou.

The next day, Liang Shou and Liang Zuo went to see Han Zhongyan again, and Liang Shou directly put forward his father's request. Han Zhongyan pondered for a long time, he didn't want to agree, but he couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Wang Yang constantly glaring at him next to him.

In the end, he only said that he needed to think carefully and let the two brothers leave, Han Zhongyan asked Wang Yang. "Lord Xiao Wang, now you can tell the old man, right?"

"The other party has already given their answer, and they now hope to be able to get a promise from your mouth, according to the official's humble opinion, the promise can be promised, but it must be a conditional promise."

"How is this possible, Lord Xiao Wang, aren't you afraid of another Li Yuanhao in the future." The old general frowned unhappily and said lightly.

If it weren't for the fact that this little Wang had made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty before, and for the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to develop offensive and defensive weapons such as Yuan Youjia and Yuan You crossbow, the old general, who had always been vicious and hateful, would not have spoken so lightly but scolded directly.

"The old general has a high opinion, so the lower officials feel that it should be a conditional agreement." Wang Yang explained with a smile, as if he was not at all upset by the displeasure of the old general.

"What is your best plan, Lord Wang, come quickly. Save me the guesswork. The seed master couldn't help urging Wang Yangdao.

"It's very simple, we can make it the envoy of the Jiuyuan Festival, Lingzhou and Shunzhou." Wang Yang is serious and authentic.

“…… Jiuyuan, hissed ......" The old general took a sharp breath like a toothache, this young man is doing something, and he is doing something big.

Jiuyuan naturally refers to the area of Jiuyuan County in the past, and that area is in the northern part of Western Xia, the important land of nomadic farming in Western Xia.

As for Lingzhou and Shunzhou, Shunzhou is less than a hundred miles south of Xingqingfu, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, and Lingzhou is dozens of miles to the southeast.

These two states are the southern gates of Xingqing Mansion, if Song Ting really gave Liang Yi a seal like this, it would indeed meet the requirements of the other party's envoy and the assassin state. But at the same time, it also satisfies the practice of the Great Song Dynasty Thorn History and the Jie Du Envoy only for the position of remote leader.

"Can Liang Yiqi agree?"

"He is definitely reluctant to agree now, but once the Xingqing Mansion prepares to send troops to the Jianing Military Division, they will definitely agree."

"Hmm...... Lord Xiao Wang is reasonable, but he still doesn't need to give them an answer first, and will delay them for a few days. "Han Zhongyan already understood what Wang Yang meant." And the old man also happened to play in the court, so that His Majesty and the mother would know the situation on our side. ”

And Han Zhongyan is a calm old man, and after understanding it, he naturally knows very well what he has to do to get the most benefits.

In the next three days, the attendant sent by Liang Shou to Hongzhou had already returned here with Liang Yiqi's reply, but Han Zhongyan, the old driver, had been avoiding the Liang brothers, only saying that they were still under consideration, so that the Liang brothers could be said to have spent their days like a year.

At this time, Su Dongpo and Han Zhongchan's secret recitals were quietly presented to the desk of the Empress Dowager. It did not go through the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

Because who is currently in control of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, whether it is Su Dongpo or Han Zhongyan, they all know very well that if they want to accomplish such a major event, they can no longer let those old party bigwigs come out and jump up and down to make trouble.

Zhao Xu heard that the imperial grandmother had something important to discuss with him, and hurried to the Spring and Autumn Palace where the imperial grandmother was. And Gao Taotao didn't tell him as soon as possible, but after driving the maids and eunuchs in the palace out of the main hall, only Xu Degong was left alone, which put the secret fold of Su Dongpo and Han Zhongyan on the table.
