Chapter 358: Poor Li Dynasty

After selling the recipe for the small cannonball and the seeds of the sweet potato, Zhao Shuo appeased Western Xia in this way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a somewhat uneconomical deal, but at this time, Zhao Shuo thinks it is appropriate. If Zhao Shuo used sweet potatoes and small cannonballs alone, he would not be able to stand the suppression of the rest of the countries, and he would attack him in a group. Such a scene was not what Zhao Shuo saw first.

Now that the Western Xia also has the same technology, and the Western Xia and Zhao Shuo have signed a military alliance, it can be said that Zhao Shuo's future development has made a double insurance.

With Zhao Shuo in the east, Western Xia can go west and go north, and the southeast and southeast sides are absolutely peaceful. If Zhao Shuo has a problem, change to another country, such as the former Song or Jin, then everything will be difficult to say.

Western Xia is not stupid. Therefore, he will never watch Zhao Shuo be destroyed. In the same way, Zhao Shuo is the same. Therefore, when the Western Xia conquered Gaochang, although Zhao Shuo's intelligence system was not yet perfect, he still sent a team of men and horses to Gaochang to inquire about the news.

This will have the unpredictable prophet that Li Yuanhao thinks.

It can be said that Zhao Shuo also didn't want anything to happen to Xixia.

Now the Jin Kingdom and the Western Xia have taken action, but the Great Song Dynasty has not taken action, which is very unreassuring.

Zhao Shuo had already received the news a few days ago that Zhao Gou had summoned Liu Guangshi. Liu Guangshi just refused to obey the order, which dealt a big blow to Zhao Gou, and now Zhao Gou actually summoned Liu Guangshi, and Liu Guangshi went in a hurry. That's what makes it unusual.

Zhao Shuo asked people to stare at the Lin'an Palace and lead Liu Guangshi, but then, Da Song quieted down.

This is clearly unconscionable. But Zhao Shuo had no choice, because there were too few spies who infiltrated the Great Song Dynasty, and it was impossible to cover everything.

Zhao Shuo was worried about nothing else, it was Li Chao. The envoy of the Li Dynasty went to Lin'an and was blasted out by Zhao Gou. Later, I came to Luoyang to meet with him.

The envoys of the Li Dynasty came to Luoyang, completely smuggling, although they were not discovered by the defenders. But after all, he has stayed in Song Land for too much time, and if he carefully investigates it, he will definitely be able to get clues.

If Zhao Gou knew that Zhao Shuo's grain was bought by his brother Li Chao, what would he do? Zhao Shuo frowned slightly, if it were me, I would definitely send troops to attack the Li Dynasty and then get food.

Sending troops to attack, is this what summoned Liu Guangshi?

After Liu Guangshi went back, he didn't leave? Didn't leave, or didn't see leaving?

Zhao Shuo exhaled a cool breath. "It's not good, it seems that my uncle also used a Ming Xiu plank road to darken Chen Cang this time."

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo scratched his head. "If that's the case, Li Chaoke will be really in trouble." Raising his head slightly, Zhao Shuo continued. "Zhao Cheng, this time, I hope they can be safe."

Li Dynasty, when Zhao Shuo was worried, the army of the Great Song Dynasty had reached the border between the Song State and the Li Dynasty, and the person who commanded the army was Liu Guangshi.

After arriving, Liu Guangshi's soldiers divided into three routes, and went straight to Yiyou, Langzhou and Thang Long. Li Chao, who learned the news, was shocked.

The strength of the Li Dynasty was already weaker than that of the Great Song Dynasty, and it had just been rescued from the civil strife by Zhao Shuo, so in the face of the Song army, it was completely discarded and vulnerable.

As the emperor of the Li Dynasty and the Marquis of Annan of Zhao Shuofeng, Li Yanghuan stood on top of the court at this moment, looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and said sadly. "Ladies and gentlemen, Da Song punished me for no reason, what should I do."

"Master Hou, don't we still have a backer?" Liu Qingtan spoke at this time. "According to what Prime Minister Zhang Cheng said, when my Li Dynasty is in trouble, King Song will never ignore it. Now that the Great Song Dynasty is attacking my Li Dynasty, it is time to ask for help from the King of Song. ”

Liu Qingtan and Zhang Boyu jointly assisted Li Yanghuan to ascend to the throne, and the two were ranked as prime ministers on the left and right. In the imperial court, in order to monopolize power, both sides compete for each other, and they both want to see each other suppress.

Zhang Boyu sent an envoy to Zhao Shuo, brought Zhao Shuo's army, and quelled the rebellion. In the hearts of Li Yanghuan and the ministers of the Li Dynasty, Zhang Boyu's status is much higher than Liu Qingtan.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty is attacking the Li Dynasty, in order to reverse the decline of the Li Dynasty and to suppress Zhang Boyu in an embarrassing way, Liu Qingtan put forward this statement.

Everyone knew that Zhao Shuo and Li Chao were separated by a Great Song Dynasty, even if Zhao Shuo wanted to help, the soldiers sent could only make a detour to the sea. As soon as the Li Dynasty sent someone to ask for help, Zhao Shuo was sending troops to rescue, and half a year passed. At that time, Li Chao was not there.

"Lord Liu, what you said is a bit unreasonable." Zhang Boyu is an understanding person, so he naturally knows the meaning of Liu Qingtan's words.

"Hmph, you said this in person, Lord Zhang, why, when the disaster came, I regretted it." Liu Qingtan said with a sneer. "I knew I couldn't do it today, so why did I promise it in the first place?"

"It's not that it can't be done, but it's ......" Zhang Boyu swallowed back raw halfway through his words. Because he thought of one thing, one thing that could change the fate of the Li Dynasty.

"And what?" Liu Qingtan looked at Zhang Boyu. "Speaking of which, I still can't do it."

"Shut up!" Facing Zhang Boyu and Liu Qingtan bickering, Li Yanghuan couldn't help it. "Now that the Li Dynasty is survival, the two of you still have the heart to fight. Do you want to see me Li Chao die like this? ”

"Don't dare!" Zhang Boyu and Liu Qingtan saluted at the same time and said.

"Don't dare, what don't you dare, at this time, you can still quarrel in the court, you say, what else do you dare not dare." Li Yanghuan is unforgiving.

Liu Qingtan bowed his head and was silent, at this time, the only way he could think of was to be a minister to the Great Song Dynasty. Then treat Da Song like Zhao Shuo. As long as you don't destroy the Li Dynasty, you will be given whatever you want.

But at this time, this cannot be said. After all, the Song soldiers had only just penetrated into the territory of the Li Dynasty, and the battle had just begun. If you surrender bluntly at this time, you will inevitably be regarded by the people as a traitor. Such a reputation is not what Liu Qingtan wants.

What he wants is the same reputation as Zhang Boyu, a reputation that solves Li Chao's crisis.

Liu Qingtan didn't speak, but Zhang Boyu spoke.

"Master Hou. The minister dares to guarantee that my Li Dynasty has been saved, and the army of the King of Song will definitely come back to rescue us. ”

Zhang Boyu said very calmly and calmly. It was as if Zhao Shuo's army really returned, and the Song army would really be defeated.

"Zhang Aiqing, why are you so confident." Zhang Boyu is confident, but Li Yanghuan is not so confident.

said that Zhao Shuo came back, you have to tell me that you are ugly, and you will be fooled by such a sentence, so how can you do it.

After hearing Li Yanghuan's question, Zhang Boyu bowed and said his plan.
