The change of personnel can smell a lot of things, and the depreciation of Wen Yanbo and Pang obviously indicates that Zhao Zhen wants to adopt a more aggressive foreign strategy, and letting Jia Changchao take charge of the Privy Council alone is obviously a key step. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although Jia Changchao's military talent is not as good as Pang Ji, he made a lot of friends during his time in Hebei, and several strong soldiers were willing to buy his account, so it is conceivable that Jia Xianggong had a good opportunity to show his skills.

What is interesting is the change in Dongfu, Fu Bi did not remove him with Wen Yanbo, and still retained the position of a scholar of Jixian Palace, Zhao Zhen still knows how to be measured, at least he doesn't want to completely fall out with the conservative bureaucrats. As for the newly appointed scholar of Zhaowenguan University, Song Zhen, he is a wall grass that he doesn't pay attention to, which side of the wind is hard and which way to fall.

If Zhao Zhen is strong, Song Zhen is an obedient prime minister, and if the emperor is weak, he will follow the officials......

Generally speaking, the traditional bureaucrats represented by Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Pang Ji and others began to be suppressed, but their strength and solid foundation should not be underestimated, whether it is high-end combat power or low-level influence. Especially controlling Shilin's public opinion and trying to shake them is by no means something that can be done overnight.

But it's a good start, at least to go to Liao, and you don't have to worry about your own people being constrained.

Wang Ning'an was in a very good mood, but Zhao Zongjing was not, since he entered the territory of Liao, his brows were wrinkled deeper and deeper day by day, and after a few days, he was like a little old man, sullen.

The people of Liao also saw Zhao Zongjing's depression, and they always stimulated him with words when they had nothing to do.

"See, this is Fan Yang, when An Lushan raised an army of 150,000 here, all the way to capture Chang'an, from then on, the world is chasing deer, the heroes are rising, I Daliao is blessed by God, you Han people don't like to say that the virtuous live in it, and the virtuous lose it, from this point of view, it is God who handed over Yanyun to Daliao, you have no blessing and no share, don't be delusional."

Zhao Zongjing was almost angry, and what he heard and saw along the way made this little prince more and more sad. Crossing the Baigou River, it stands to reason that it is the territory of Liao, but the fields on both sides are even strange, and the people go back and forth to farm, whether it is from clothing, or voice, there is almost no difference with Hebei, in contrast, compared to the south of the Yangtze River, it is more like the land of China.

In the past, Zhao Zongjing only had a hazy thought, but now he is completely clear, this is the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the people living on it look exactly the same as you, they are all hard working, they are all spring planting and autumn harvest, yellow skin and black eyes...... But! But! But!!

Now that he has been included in the territory of barbarians, the pain of torn flesh and bone makes Zhao Zongjing sleepless all night, tossing and turning.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizong tried his best, the two Northern Expeditions were all defeated, and failed to take Yanyun in one go, since then, not only the land is divided, the compatriots are separated, and the door of the Great Song Dynasty is opened, since ancient times, the dividing line between agriculture and nomadism is on the line of the Great Wall, regardless of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, they have extended the territory to the line of the Great Wall.

Defending the Great Wall, you can attack and retreat, and you can advance and retreat freely, which is equivalent to adding a barrier to the prosperous Central Plains.

But the barrier of Yanyun was lost, and from Bianjing to the north, there was no natural danger to defend. The Great Song Dynasty could only go crazy, hoarding a million troops, trying to rely on the numerical advantage to make up for the lack of mobile combat power. But how can an untrained farmer compete with a robber who grew up on horseback?

is in danger, these four words describe the state of the Great Song Dynasty, which is really appropriate.

The Yellow River burst, and everyone was worried that the Liao State would take the opportunity to go south, but it was not unreasonable.

Fortunately, there was also civil strife in Liao, relying on the mercy of the Son of Heaven and the soldiers used their lives to block the pressure of Liao, which was a blessing in misfortune.

But will God always bless Da Song?

The next time there is a famine and civil strife, will the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry take the opportunity to go south?

For more than 20 years, he has been living a comfortable life, he has always been worry-free, the prosperity of Bianjing has made him confused, thinking that he is living in a peaceful and prosperous era, thinking that the emperor of the Zhao family is a saint of the ages, thinking that the world is healthy and healthy, and the country will be passed down from generation to generation......

It was not until this moment that Zhao Zongjing suddenly woke up, he was actually living in a dream, a little careless, and when he woke up from the dream, prosperity was like a basket of eggs, which would be easily broken, and there was nothing left......

Zhao Zongjing was angry, he wanted to argue with the Liao State, and wanted to tell them loudly that the Great Song Dynasty was not easy to bully, and Yanyun's homeland would have to be taken back sooner or later, and if you dared to underestimate the Great Song Dynasty, you would pay a painful price.

When he wanted to scold, he was stopped by Wang Ningan.

Zhao Zongjing's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "Lord Wang, they are so arrogant and domineering, can you bear it?" ”

"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it!" Wang Ningan was also very uncomfortable, and the shock he received was no less than that of Zhao Zongjing, but Wang Ningan knew that now he was bickering, except for making him angry, it was of little use.

"Shame and courage, if the little prince has kung fu, he should think more about how to destroy the Liao Kingdom and retrieve Yanyun."

Zhao Zongjing hesitated a little, "Lord Wang, are you really sure?" Although the Liao State is not as they boasted, with a million armor, there are always hundreds of thousands of horses, grasslands are everywhere, there are many cavalry, and it is too difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to win the Liao State. ”

"So you can't rely on fighting."

"So what?"

"By the brain!"

Zhao Zongjing's face turned black in an instant, Wang Ningan didn't care about him, the people were close to Youzhou, which was the so-called Nanjing in the Liao State, and a large group of people came out to greet him, led by a young nobleman.

Listening to Yelu Huage's introduction, this person's name is Yelu Nerugu, the eldest son of the emperor's younger brother Yelu Chongyuan, this guy has been good at martial arts since he was a child, his riding and archery skills are amazing, arrogant and domineering, and his eyes are empty.

Yelu Chongyuan's desire to seize the heir was mostly instigated by Nerugu.

He saw the Song envoy brigade coming, and did not greet him, but waved the scimitar in his hand, and the Liao soldiers lined up, the sword in his hand was held high, under the sun, flickering cold light, as long as an order was given, tens of thousands of cavalry could rush over and trample the messenger of the Great Song Dynasty into pieces!

The solemn atmosphere made Zhao Zongjing change color, and his hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword.

At this time, Nerugu suddenly galloped like lightning, rushed in front of everyone, and at a distance of only twenty paces, he suddenly circled his horse and ran to the side, and the dust splashed down the wind on the faces of Wang Ning'an and Zhao Zongjing.

Provocation!

Utterly provocative!

Zhao Zongjing clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and he couldn't help but rush out.

Wang Ningan hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head slightly.

Zhao Zongjing held back his anger, snorted, and turned his head over. Nerugu ran back and forth in front of them three times before he reached Wang Ning'an.

"Hahaha, what does the Song envoy think about this king's riding skills?"

Wang Ning'an pretended to be surprised, and said to Yelu Huage: "Your country really thinks highly of us!" Equestrian juggling, just let a slave perform, how can you let the prince come in person! ”

Wang Ningan turned around and said to the passers-by: "Hurry up and remember, the prince of Liao greeted the Song envoy with equestrianism, and the friendship between the two countries has reached a new level!" ”

Wang Ning'an said it very loudly, and Nelugu heard it clearly!

Okay, Lao Tzu is demonstrating to you, when did it become a juggler?

He was so angry that his brain was bruised, and at this time, Yelu Huage and Zhang Xiaojie immediately ran over and muttered a few words to Nerugu. Nerugu's eyes lit up, he urged the horse to Wang Ning'an, looked him up and down for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Who should I be, it turns out that you killed in the territory of Daliao and slaughtered tens of thousands of people, I will take your head now and pay tribute to the dead!" ”

As he spoke, he actually raised the scimitar and wanted to make a move on Wang Ning'an.

At this time, the Great Song side was dumbfounded and at a loss, and suddenly, Zhao Zongjing suddenly pulled out his sword, his eyes were scarlet, and he also pointed at Nelugu.

"Liao thief, you steal Yanyun, loot without calculation, kill my people, plunder my people! The hatred is higher than the mountain, and the debt is deeper than the sea! You are still shameless, and you are powerful! It's a big deal, just fight to the death, and see if I have any bad seeds? ”

suppressed all the way, Zhao Zongjing completely ignored it, not to mention, he was the nominal envoy, and the little prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he came like this, everyone else was enthusiastic, and they all drew their weapons, although the number of people was huge, but the mourning soldiers were victorious, and they put on a desperate posture, which was scary enough.

The two sides were at such a stalemate, and after a full quarter of an hour, Yelu Huage came to Nerugu and whispered a few words, Nerugu smiled, "My Da Liao is a big country in Shangbang, and I will not embarrass you casually, just now I just tested the courage of your envoy, and he is still a man, so this king will not be difficult for you." ”

He found a step for himself, Zhao Zongjing's palms were covered with cold sweat, and he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Nerugu glared, "I want to let you go, but you want to die!" When my Da Liao envoy arrived in your country, he was beaten to death by Diao Min, how to calculate this account? ”

Who cares what you do, besides, it's not you who did it first, and you deserve to be killed!

Zhao Zongjing was really open-minded, but Wang Ningan seemed extremely calm and motionless.

"Don't shout, bluff, since we are here, it is with sincerity, I hope you will also show sincerity, don't make a dignified country, like a bandit, you are a dismount, you can't play with me!"

He didn't talk much, he went straight to the point, and said that Nerugu was the leader of the bandits, and he was so angry that the flesh on his face jumped. After gritting his teeth for a long time, he suddenly sneered: "Song Envoy, you said that you have sincerity, where is the sincerity?" Will we hand over the land of Guannan, or increase the annual coin, or severely punish the murderer? Which one have you done? To put it bluntly, we are not three-year-olds, so easy to be deceived! ”

Wang Ningan smiled faintly and waved his hand very elegantly.

"Of course you can't give what you said, but the official can take out 10 million!"

Nerugu's jaw dropped in shock, "You mean 10 million more coins?" ”

"Hahaha, of course not--this is the purchase of goods and materials from your country, as for how much money you can make, you can measure it yourself."
