Chapter 519: Apt Metaphor

Zhao Shuo wanted to send troops, which not only surprised Zhang Chujiu, but also made Li Renxiao look confused. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Renxiao hoped that Zhao Shuo would send troops, so he would pat Zhao Shuo with one high hat after another. But as to whether Zhao Shuo can be persuaded to send troops, Li Renxiao's heart is actually bottomless.

He was even ready to persuade Zhao Shuo a few more times.

However, Zhao Shuo agreed directly, this happiness came too suddenly, and he really couldn't accept it for a while.

"Lord Wang, the matter of sending troops to rescue Xiliao, do you want to discuss it with the military advisors." Zhang Chujiu was worried that Zhao Shuo was fooled by Li Renxiao, and at this time, he calmed down and reminded Zhao Shuo.

"There's no need to discuss, I've already decided to send troops." Zhao Shuo was surprisingly firm this time. There is not the slightest room for discussion.

Zhang Chujiu opened his mouth, and wanted to persuade Zhao Shuo, but his mouth was open for a long time, and in the end he didn't say anything.

Zhao Shuo's attitude has already explained something, and no matter how he persuades, it is to no avail.

"Lord Wang, then when are you going to send troops......" Although I haven't figured it out yet, why Zhao Shuo is so determined to send troops. But Zhao Shuo sent troops, which was enough to make Li Renxiao happy.

The most important thing now is that Zhao Shuo's troops gather as soon as possible and then leave for Western Liao. Because, at this moment, the Mongol army has already killed Western Liao. Zhao Shuo's soldiers left late, and it is likely that before they arrived, Western Liao was invaded by the Mongols.

"Our soldiers are different from the Mongols, and it takes time to assemble." Zhao Shuo looked at Li Renxiao. "Brother Li, you should have heard a sentence, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first."

"I can communicate with Great Xia and Xiliao about grain and grass, and the prince only needs to send soldiers and horses." After a pause, Li Renxiao said again. "The prince sent troops to save Xiliao and water and fire, and they gave some grain and grass, which actually cheapened them."

"Brother Li, as the crown prince of Western Xia, you are helping Western Liao to speak like this......" Zhang Chujiu looked at Li Renxiao. No, you have already signed some ulterior agreement with Xiliao. ”

"You, why do you have such unbearable thoughts." Li Renxiao was a little anxious. "My Daxia is upright, how can I do such a thing, besides, my Daxia and the prince are iron alliances, if I sign an alliance with Xiliao or something, such a big thing, how can I not explain it to the prince."

Zhang Chujiu was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Shuo raising his hand. "I still believe in Brother Li's character."

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Li Renxiao bowed down and said.

"Uh, Brother Li." Zhao Shuo scratched his head. "Even if Western Liao and Western Xia provide food and grass, it will still take some time for the soldiers to assemble. After all, Mongolia sent a lot of soldiers and horses this time, but there were too few soldiers, and it was completely a death sentence to go, and for the Great Song Dynasty, I had no choice but to do so. As you know, now that I am carrying out reforms, many forces in the country are staring at me, and it will not work if I do not leave some troops and horses for defense. ”

"How long does it take for the prince to mobilize troops and horses?" Li Renxiao looked at Zhao Shuo with a worried expression.

"I said, Brother Li, why are you also the prince of Western Xia, don't you know what to ask and what not to ask?" At this time, Zhang Chujiu spoke again.

Li Renxiao was stunned for a moment, and at the same time realized that what he asked was indeed a bit excessive. He saluted again, and then said with great sincerity. "The prince atoned for his sins, I was too anxious, and then I confessed."

"Okay, I know what you're worried about." Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "You go down first, the matter of gathering soldiers and horses, my side will do it as soon as possible, what about you, after you go back, talk to your father and the Xiliao side, let them start preparing the grain and grass of the 300,000 army, and after the soldiers and horses on my side are assembled, they will be sent over to support immediately. If they don't have enough food and grass, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Zhao Shuo can be regarded as a guarantee, 300,000 troops, and at the same time, he also gave a beating, if the supply of grain and grass is not complete, what will the soldiers who go to the rescue do, it is not certain.

Li Renxiao was so smart, after listening to Zhao Shuo's words, he immediately said goodbye and left. He wanted to deliver a message to Western Xia and Western Liao, telling them to persist in resisting, raise grain and grass, and wait for rescue.

After Li Renxiao left, Zhang Chujiu once again raised questions. "Lord Wang, Xiliao has played tricks on us many times, why should we save him."

"If you don't save it, you can't do it." Zhao Shuo said a little helplessly.

"Why is that? Xiliao has made a commercial treaty with us before, and there are no other covenants. Zhang Chujiu said.

"Then tell me, why did Li Renxiao come to Xiliao to intercede?" Zhao Shuo asked.

"This?" Zhang Chujiu frowned. As for why Li Renxiao wanted to help Xiliao intercede, he really didn't understand.

"Western Liao is the western barrier of Western Xia, in the past, Western Xia regarded Western Liao as an obstacle to the development of the west, an enemy, and did not want to kill Western Liao all the time. Just like last time, Western Liao sent troops to attack the Kelie Department, and I asked Western Xia to send troops to intercept them, but they didn't say a word, and directly sent a large army to block Yelu Dashi's retreat back to Western Liao. Zhao Shuo chuckled. If I hadn't repeatedly emphasized that they couldn't kill Yelu Dashi, I'm afraid they would have killed Yelu Dashi a long time ago, and the army would have driven straight into Xiliao. ”

"Didn't the prince promise to let Western Liao cede two hundred miles of land to Western Xia?" Zhang Chujiu frowned. "Aren't they sending troops for this?"

"Just 200 miles of land, do you think Western Xia is called Huazi." Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly. "They're shrewd!"

"If, according to what the prince said, Western Xia has always wanted to destroy Western Liao, then now that the Mongolian army is advancing westward, Western Liao is in danger, why didn't Western Xia take the opportunity to send troops to carve up Western Liao? Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Zhang Chujiu questioned.

Faced with Zhang Chujiu's question, Zhao Shuo was somewhat disappointed. In his heart, Zhang Chujiu should have grown over the years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of letting Zhang Chujiu break into the interior of Western Liao.

But judging from Zhang Chujiu's question, he overestimated Zhang Chujiu's ability. In other words, in terms of political handling, Zhang Chujiu's gap is still very large.

"Chu Jiu, let me ask you a question, you say, next to a cat, is there a mouse all the time? Or is it better to have a tiger? Zhao Shuo asked.

Zhang Chujiu was a little puzzled, why did Zhao Shuo ask this question, but he still replied respectfully. "Nature is a rat. In this way, the cat will have something to eat, and if it is a tiger, the cat will have trouble sleeping. ”

Zhao Shuo nodded. "In the same way, Western Xia hopes that the Western Liao will be on the side, not Mongolia."

"Oh!" Zhang Chujiu suddenly realized. "I see. So that's what happened! ”
