Gyeongju was later known as Qingyang in Gansu Province, while Suizhou was in northern Shaanxi and had to walk northeast for several days to reach it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The day after receiving the edict, Lin Zhao and the others set off, and they were not in a hurry along the way. The peace talks were proposed by the Tanguts, and the prime minister was captured, is he the one who should be in a hurry!

Of course, Lin Zhao was also worried about the safety of Zhe Wenxin. However, it is certain that there is no problem with the safety of Origami before the peace talks. The more times like this, the more you need to calm down, otherwise you will fall into weakness and passivity. Lin Zhao firmly believed that Empress Dowager Liang should be more anxious than herself. He firmly believes that he will be able to save his beloved wife!

Lin Zhao rode the little white dragon first, with a heroic posture and extraordinary bearing.

The white horse is very conspicuous, and it stands to reason that it is not suitable for riding on the battlefield, after all, the target is too obvious, and it will be more dangerous, especially the main generals, and they need to be careful. In history, only Gongsun Chan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had a more popular white horse Yicong, which can be regarded as a special case!

The little white dragon under Lin Zhao's seat was given by Yelu Jun, the prince of Liao, and it was one of the best horses in the world, so it was really a bit wasteful. As for the security issue, he was not very worried, after all, he was walking in the middle of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were 3,000 troops to escort him, so there should be no security problems.

You know, these 3,000 troops are all well-equipped cavalry. The stakes are so high that he didn't dare to make the slightest mistake, Wang Shao deliberately selected the elite of the Western Army, first, to escort Liang Yiburi, and also to serve as a peace negotiation envoy Lin Zhao's guard. Since you have to face the Tangut people, you naturally can't weaken the prestige of the Song army, and the seats are all first-class Tubo horses, and the momentum is huge!

What's more, there are scouts coming and going in front of the team to inquire about the news, and there are also experienced soldiers of the Western Army on both sides who are on guard. There are absolutely no problems with the security aspect.

Liu Changzuo was ordered to guard Lin Zhao. Although his seniority in the army. is even higher than Lin Zhao, but Lin Zhao is now a squire in the military department.

Although the military department was an empty shelf in the Great Song Dynasty and had no real power, after all, there was a squire rank and a high-ranking official. What's more, he is now a peace negotiator, responsible for such an important matter as peace talks with Western Xia. Up and down the Western Army, all states and counties had to cooperate. Coupled with the strength behind Lin Zhao, Liu Changzuo has seen it with his own eyes in Bianjing. I know that Lin Shilang has a deep background and a great future. Therefore, he didn't dare to have the slightest support, and he completely regarded himself as a deputy general along the way, and he was very cooperative.

Lin Zhao also clearly felt Liu Changzuo's respect and cooperation, and he was also very satisfied with this, and he got along very well along the way, after all, he had the experience and friendship of fighting side by side in Dashun City. However, Liu Changzuo is a general in the army, and it is impossible to completely obey orders with him, so he can only be said to be cooperating with officials.

This also made Lin Zhao discover a problem, that is, there was a serious lack of his own people around him. Especially in the army, there are no henchmen. It's a hassle to get started. Now there is only one Ah Chang available around, but it is the Fuzhou family, but it can be used as a close guard, and the others are inevitably a little powerless. In addition, no one person can be busy, and there is a serious shortage of manpower. Lin Zhao deeply felt that he needed to pick up the gaps around him, or he could handle big and small affairs.

When I went to Liao and Tubo in the past, I had a Su An by my side, although he was not a complete confidant, but he could often do the things he explained properly, and he helped himself a lot, and he was handy to use. But since the last time he returned to Bianjing and was imprisoned, Su An has disappeared.

I remember that when those soldiers of the forbidden army gave false testimony, they seemed to mention that Su An was framed as an accomplice of his collaboration with the enemy and treason. Now that he has been released from prison safely, what about Su An? Speaking of which, he also affected him. Although Lin Zhao inquired afterwards, the forbidden army seemed to be tight-lipped and didn't ask for the slightest clue at all.

I don't know where he is now? Is he okay? Thinking of his old friend and assistant, Lin Zhao really missed him a little. I'm also worried about whether he will be hurt because he knows too much......

Of course, Lin Zhao hopes to cultivate another person of his own, a trustworthy confidant.

Yu Xuan is a good candidate, but he has expertise in government affairs, and he is more proper in business. But in the army, especially when you are running around to do things, it is inevitable that you will be a little worse. What's more, now that he is far away in Bianjing, he can't quench his thirst from far away, not to mention, he also needs to help several wives in the family take care of things, and he is destined to be the big housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, and he can only find someone else.

For a while, Lin Zhao especially wanted to have a helper by his side, but this kind of thing was not in a hurry. It is impossible to meet but not to seek, and it needs to be carefully cultivated, so I can only watch it while walking......

"Brother Changzuo, is the situation okay over there for Liang Yibury?" Lin Zhao slowly slowed down and turned around to ask Liu Changzuo.

Liang Yibury is very important, and he is an important bargaining chip in this negotiation, the highest-ranking hostage. If not, how could a simple military victory make Empress Dowager Liang bow her head? Although he was a prisoner who was captured, Liang Yi's treatment was not bad, and he took good care of him.

The row was placed on a specially made carriage, which was beautifully decorated and cushioned, which to some extent relieved the fatigue of the carriage. There is all kinds of food and tea in the car, and there is a maid to serve them. The carriage body is made of fine wood, and a layer of steel is specially inlaid in the middle to prevent attack. A layer of metal guardrails is set up at the doors and windows, which are specially locked, and Lin Zhao and Liu Changzuo need to use two keys in their hands at the same time to open. To be precise, the two carriages were actually a mobile luxury prison.

Liang Yi's identity is really too precious, and the one who pinched it is a hostage in his hand, a bargaining chip, and can play a huge value. But if you die, or if there is the slightest mistake, the consequences are unimaginable. At that time, it will be a hot potato, which will make the Tangut people hate the same enemy, and it will be an excuse for crazy revenge.

Although Lin Zhao had a holiday with him, he had no intention of hurting him. Killing a prime minister, the loss to Western Xia is very limited, and it can't change anything, Liang Yi's burial is not critical to that extent, but it will cause a lot of trouble, and it is really not cost-effective. What's more, Lin Zhao also planned to use him in exchange for his wife, so he naturally took good care of him.

The driver is a well-trained, experienced veteran, and there is no problem with loyalty. There were also a few astute soldiers in the car. Problems can be dealt with at any time. Around the carriage was a group of two hundred elites. Uninterrupted personal guards. Absolutely guarantee the safety of Liang Yi's burial. Don't let him escape, and don't give others the opportunity to hurt him......

As for suicide, Lin Zhao was not worried. After being captured, Liang Yibury did not consider suicide, and he was reluctant to give up their glory and wealth. Now that such a long time has passed, I know that my sister Empress Dowager Liang is working hard to rescue herself, and she will not commit suicide, so she is not worried about this problem......

Liu Changzuo smiled: "Okay." Liang Guoxiang is comfortable and comfortable, and his life is comfortable......"

Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, it was inevitable that there would be such a successful time in the Western Xia battle, as the guards of the border army, they were naturally very excited, and it was common to make fun of Liang Yiburi......

Lin Zhao smiled, beat the horse back to the middle of the team, looked at the carriage as normal, nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed the soldiers to take care of it. Stay safe.

As he spoke, there were several noises in the carriage. Presumably Liang Yibury in the carriage heard Lin Zhao's voice and reacted!

The life of being captured was not easy, although the Song army did not embarrass him, but after all, he was a prisoner, his dignity was damaged, and he was really sorry to lose face.

However, Liang Yibury did not choose to commit suicide, and the party culture does not emphasize that soldiers can be killed but not humiliated like the Han family. What is the slightest humiliation to commit suicide? Having a useful body, knowing shame and then courage is the last word. He also knew one thing very well, the people of the Song Dynasty would not kill themselves, and they did not dare to kill themselves. They are afraid of the retaliation of the Western Xia army, and they must also make a fuss about themselves......

Liang Yibury thought clearly, especially after knowing that his sister was trying to rescue him, he had no determination to die. Liang Yibury is too aware of his own importance, and if he dies, what should the Liang family do? Without his own support, can the status of my sister and the emperor's nephew and son-in-law be so stable? So no matter what, you can't die, and you have to find a way to return to Western Xia alive!

It's just that returning to Western Xia must have a price, and there is already a truce to start peace talks, this is the news he got from Lin Zhao!

Unexpectedly, my sister swore an oath, and the Western Xia collectively dispatched, with such a huge momentum, vowing to fight to the death with the Song Dynasty, and the result ended like this. The war ended because of himself, Liang Yiburi is very self-aware, and he doesn't know what kind of mood he should be in at this moment, should he be happy? Still a little sour?

In order for her sister to end the war, she could go to negotiate with the Song Dynasty, which Liang Yibury was quite moved. It is a very happy thing to be cared for by loved ones, and no matter what kind of mentality my sister has, at least she is willing to make sacrifices to save herself, and that is enough......

As for the big enemy Lin Zhao, after so many days, Liang Yibury has gradually calmed down. He thought about it a lot, and he was no longer as reckless as he was at the beginning, admitting that he still hated Lin Zhao very much, if it weren't for himself, why did he fall to such a point?

Many times Liang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, Lin Zhao seemed to be the nemesis of his life, in the past year or so, on many occasions, many times he was defeated in his hands, every time there was hope, but in the end he was always disappointed, and the ending was worse than the last! Maybe from the beginning, I won't change to provoke him, this guy is too lucky!

But when he calmed down, Liang Yibury also thought of his own problems. If it weren't for the fact that he was anxious for quick success and was carried away by hatred, why did he fall to such a point? Revenge is necessary, and face must be recovered, but it must be done slowly, not in this way.

Many times, suffering is not a bad thing, but rather a great benefit to one's growth and life. After experiencing failure, as long as you know how to reflect and correct your mistakes, it is a good growth and promotion. In this process, it is also moving towards success step by step...... Now Liang Yibury has been reflecting for a long time, and his mentality is also undergoing some changes, after this incident, maybe he can be more mature, but to what extent? It's a wait-and-see.

After Lin Zhao heard the sound, he smiled and said: "Liang Guoxiang, don't worry, we are on our way to Suizhou, maybe it won't be long before you can go back to Xingqing Mansion!" ”

Suizhou? Liang Yi buried himself in his heart and was silent. From the moment he boarded the cart, he knew that peace talks had begun. It is self-evident what it means for the people of the Song Dynasty to send themselves over, and their own stay must be an important part of the peace talks. But it is also an excellent bargaining chip in the hands of the Song Dynasty......

I don't know how the people of the Song Dynasty will use themselves to threaten my sister, and Liang Yi is a little big when he thinks about it. What price does the Western Xia Kingdom have to pay if it wants to exchange itself back? Presumably, because she was captured, her sister Empress Dowager Liang must have been under tremendous pressure in China.

Unbeknownst to him, the Western Xia side had a victory in Jingzhou and captured Lin Zhao's wife in exchange for it. With such a major news, Lin Zhao naturally blocked it strictly, and it was impossible to disclose it to Liang Yi. For all reasons, Liang Yi can't be buried, he can't be harmed, but it's okay to torture mentally.

Not only Liang Yi buried, but even in the entire northwest, in addition to the folding family, only Wang Shao knew. Otherwise, when the news spreads, how can I still be this peace negotiator? Without this convenience, it would be really difficult to rescue Zhe Wenxin!

Suddenly, Liang Yibury was very emotional, and he understood his sister's Empress Dowager Liang a little, and at the same time felt remorse and guilt for his past actions. In the swaying carriage prison, Liang Yibu is becoming more and more mature, but he also feels a little worried about the future. If you can return to Xixia smoothly, you must help your sister well, if you can return to Xixia, you must plan well in the future, and you must make the great enemy Lin Zhao pay the price......

Hatred is like this, once you hold a grudge, where is it so easy to give up?

Lin Zhao didn't care what Liang Yi thought in the carriage, it didn't matter. The top priority is to save the fold core, and the rest is not important......

As for Liang Yiburi, he didn't take it to heart. Don't you want revenge? Even if you come, if you can make you deflated three or four times, you can have a next time, and now Lin Zhao is very confident.

Lin Zhao rode back to the front of the team, and was about to laugh with Liu Changzuo, when suddenly a hurried horse's hooves came back in front of him. The scouts sent out rushed back, and looking at the appearance of the dusty people, something must have happened.

Lin Zhao and Liu Changzuo both frowned involuntarily and asked in unison, "What's going on ahead?" ”

"Back to the two adults, in the valley ahead, there are two teams of men and horses fighting......

"Two teams fighting?" Lin Zhao and Liu Changzuo glanced at each other, and they both had some bad premonitions in their hearts, and immediately ordered: "Strengthen vigilance and immediately investigate in detail......

"Yes!" The scout agreed, turned the horse's head and galloped away, the hurried hooves fading into the distance...... (To be continued.) )
