Chapter Twenty-Three: Embarrassment and Adultery

readx;

Dong Zhao is the younger brother of Dong Yu of Tubo Zampu, and his relationship with Dong Yu is extremely close, and he has great power in Tubo. www.biquge.info What Li Bingchang never expected was that it was Dong Zhao who made it. With the arrival of Dong Zhao, the younger brother of Tubo, it is inevitable to join forces with Tubo, is there anything more joyful than this?

His joy is not trivial, he is no longer talking, but singing, singing joyfully.

"Huh!" There are many people who think like him, but which of the ministers doesn't think so? Even Li Zongbao and Liang Xi thought that they were all overjoyed and laughing.

"Please! Please! Hurry up, please! Li Bingchang was very enthusiastic, stepped forward in person, took Dong Zhao's hand, pulled him, and went to sit: "Dong Zhao, sit!" Have a seat! Please be seated! ”

Although Western Xia is in danger, Li Bingchang is the king of a country after all, so hospitality, how many people can have this blessing? It stands to reason that Dong Zhao should respectfully return the salute, but what no one expected was that Dong Zhao sat down with a big golden knife, raised his right leg, put it on his left leg, raised Erlang's leg, couldn't help shaking, squinted at Li Bingchang, and said something that made the Western Xia monarchs and ministers dream: "Li Bingchang, you will be wrong!" I have come on the orders of Zampu, not to discuss the matter of joining forces, but to ask you, when will the cattle and sheep, fine iron, weapons, and armor owed to us be returned? ”

"I owe you something?" Li Bingchang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back for a while: "Dong Zhao, don't talk nonsense!" When did Great Xia owe you something? ”

"Yes!" The ministers were busy echoing.

Western Xia and Tubo are feuds, and after so many years of fighting, Western Xia has never owed anything to Tubo.

"Didn't you?" Dong Zhao grinned, and said angrily: "Since this is the case, then I will go to Wu Du to command Wu Ji to appeal, I believe that Wu Du will definitely give us the master." ”

It is not necessary to be the master of Tibet, if Wu Ji gets the help of Tibet, the military power will be stronger, and it will be even more unfavorable to Western Xia. Li Bingchang was startled, and when his thoughts turned, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Oh! There is such a thing, there is such a thing! In the past, I borrowed your Tibetan goods. ”

"Obviously there is no such thing, how can there be a life?" The ministers couldn't understand why.

Li Zongbao and Liang Xi understood, nodded their heads, and praised Li Bingchang's cleverness.

"If only you remembered!" Dong Zhao couldn't help nodding, and said with a little approval: "The emperor of Western Xia, he has a big family and strong financial resources, and he will never repay his debts, otherwise, Zampu will never lend it to you, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Zampu's help to Great Xia, we remember it in our hearts, and we are grateful! Li Bingchang still had to pretend to be grateful, and the depressed energy in his heart could not be described by pen and ink.

"I heard that your Western Xia is almost over, Zan Pu is afraid that there is no place to ask for this account, so he sent me to ask for it, and asked the emperor to return it to us." Dong Zhao's eyes blinked, his eyes were full of wonderful little stars, and he secretly said in his heart: "Zampu, you are really shrewd!" There was no in the first place, but this time is right, and there is no account and there is an account! ”

"That's it! That's it! "How could Li Bingchang not understand Dong Zhao's intentions, where did he come to ask for debts, he was purely here to threaten, if he dared to say a word, Tubo would definitely send troops to help Wu Ji. Just one Wu Ji is enough for him, and if there is Tubo, Western Xia will definitely be wiped out anymore.

"800,000 sheep, 100,000 cows, 50,000 horses, 30,000 weapons, 80,000 pairs of fine armor!" Dong Zhao wrenched his fingers and opened his mouth.

"Oh my God! Why don't you rob it! The asking price was too high, and immediately the ministers of Western Xia roared.

Although the number of cattle and sheep is larger, Xixia gritted his teeth and could still take it out. Weapons, fine armor, Western Xia can't take it out anyway. Although the Western Xia was also manufacturing weapons and fine armor by itself, because its handicraft industry was far from catching up with the Song Dynasty, the output was not high, and the quality was not good, with 30,000 weapons and 80,000 pairs of fine armor, the Western Xia had to lift the bottom of the warehouse.

"Rob? Am I not robbing? Dong Zhao listened to the angry roar of the Western Xia minister in his ears and was very proud.

"Dong Zhao, I have long wanted to pay you back this account. However, Wu Ji called, and Great Xia lost his troops and lost his generals, and his weapons and fine armor suffered serious losses, which all needed to be replenished. Li Bingchang almost burst out of his teeth: "Please forgive me for a while." ”

He is a delaying tactic, he only needs to be over the war and the crisis is lifted, who will admit it?

Dong Zhao is a shrewd person, and he is not so easy to fool, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is not negotiable. But you're going to have to make it possible for me to speak to Puzan? If you're not sincere, Zampu might think you're in debt, and maybe he'll be angry and send troops against you. ”

This is a threat, a naked threat, Li Bingchang didn't want to accept this threat, but in this situation, he had to accept it if he didn't accept it, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "50,000 sheep, 5,000 cattle, 2,000 horses, 3,000 weapons, and 5,000 fine armor." ”

"That's it?" Dong Zhao raised his eyebrows, stood up, shook the sleeves of his robe, and was about to leave: "If the surname Li doesn't have a good thing, he knows that he is in debt!" Yes, my mission has been accomplished, and I have to go back and report to Zampu! ”

"Don't go! Don't go! If Dong Zhao leaves, Tubo will definitely fall to the Song Dynasty, Li Bingchang will never let this happen, he hurriedly grabbed Dong Zhao and said: "Stop being angry, stop being angry!" No matter how much we have in Daxia, we really can't get it, so I'll add another three percent to you. ”

"Double, and you can owe the rest." Dong Zhao is here to fight the autumn breeze this time, and he is satisfied to get so many benefits.

"Good!" Li Bingchang gritted his teeth, and the word burst out from between his teeth, and he was about to break his teeth.

"Huh!" After getting so many benefits, Dong Zhao was full of joy, and a smile appeared on his tense face.

Li Bingchang saw it in his eyes, and was very happy, and took the opportunity to inquire: "Dong Zhao, now that the Song Emperor is powerful, and more than 200,000 troops are pressed to Hexi, it is not only a huge threat to Great Xia, but also to your Tubo!" ”

"Impossible!" Dong Zhao waved his hand, his voice was raised high, and said: "We all know that our Tubo is a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official family is magnificent, and there are a lot of rewards every year. ”

"You're so naΓ―ve!" Li Bingchang began to shed his tongue and lobbied: "Instead of giving you money, it is better to destroy you and let you be cattle and horses......"

"Cows and horses?" Dong Zhao waved his hand to interrupt Li Bingchang's lobbying and said, "If you don't say it, I still forgot." When I was leaving, Zampu told me that he wanted me to find a place for the Tibetan warriors to herd cattle and sheep and have a good experience. Don't always nest in the mountains and dense forests, and forget to ride horses, herd cattle and sheep. ”

This is a very euphemistic remark, telling Li Bingchang that it is not impossible for Tubo to send troops, but you have to give enough benefits.

Dong Yu is really an old and cunning man, and he has long made up his mind to help Xixia, but he has to have enough benefits first. Li Bingchang was forced by the situation and had to give Tubo benefits, and the pain in his heart was far beyond what he could describe.

"Great!" Li Bingchang heard it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems that although this Dong Yu is cunning, he is still a shrewd person, and he knows how to make trade-offs.

"Huh!" All the ministers understood that Dong Zhao was here to discuss the matter of joining forces, and they were all overjoyed. As for him saying that he wants to pay for the account, it is just that Dong Yu wants to maximize his interests.

"Dong Zhao, our Hexi land is suitable for grazing cattle and sheep, and we still have a lot of tigers here." Li Bingchang's mouth cracked into a lotus, where can it be closed: "I heard that the warriors of Tubo are good at shooting tigers and cheetahs, but I don't know if you have enough guts?" ”

"Our warriors in Tibet don't take jackals, tigers and leopards in their eyes yet." Dong Zhao raised his head, his chest straightened, and said triumphantly: "It's just that it's not easy for our warriors from Tubo to go down the mountain." ”

"In order to make the warriors hunt better, I will give five thousand horses." Li Bingchang knew that he was asking for benefits, so he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he had to bleed.

"The weapons of our Great Tibetan warriors have been used for too long, and they are not easy to use." Dong Zhao stretched out his hand again.

"I'll send ......"

"The Armor of Our Great Tibetan Warriors......"

"I'll send ......"

Dong Zhao couldn't help but ask for things, but Li Bingchang was very reluctant, but he had to give them. After some bargaining, the two finally got a good result, and Tubo and Western Xia officially joined forces.

"I wonder when Zamp will come?" Li Bingchang is most concerned about this matter. Today's Western Xia is already at a critical juncture of survival, and the sooner Dong Yu comes, the better.

"When the emperor can be ready, Zampu will arrive!" Dong Zhao asked for a lot of benefits, and he was in an extremely good mood.

He was telling Li Bingchang that as long as the benefits were enough, Dong Yu would come. Li Bingchang didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Give it immediately." ”

"Huh!" Western Xia is poor, Tubo is even poorer, it is a great joy to have so many things, Dong Zhao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed together, and began to brag: "As long as the warriors of Great Tubo arrive, what is the Song army?" ”

"Your Majesty, the envoy is back." As soon as his words fell, a personal soldier came in and shouted at Li Bingchang.

"The messenger has returned? Quick, call him in! Li Bingchang was looking forward to the return of the envoy all the time, and hurriedly urged.

"Will Wu Ji talk about it?" The ministers wanted to know the answer the most, and they all stretched their necks and looked at the temple door, looking forward to the appearance of the messenger, as if they were looking forward to the old ancestor.

In the hope of the kings and ministers, the retinue appeared at the door, but the messenger was not seen, and the kings and ministers were greatly surprised. I saw this attendant come forward and present a human head. The kings and ministers looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be startled, wasn't that the head of the envoy? His face was unwilling, his face was incredulous, and there was a look of shock.

The two countries exchanged troops and did not kill the envoys, and Wu Ji killed the envoys, is this still talking?

The monarchs and ministers only felt like falling into an ice cellar, although they had expected it a long time ago, but when the result came, they were still shocked.

"Your Majesty, Grandpa Wu has two conditions." The entourage frightened Wu Ji so much that he called Grandpa Wu out of his mouth: "First, I want the emperor to go to the emperor's name, and all the royal family and clansmen will enter Bianjing." The second is to hand over Li Zongbao, Liang Xi, and the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Shaanzhou, as well as their families. Grandpa Wu said that he would avenge the people of the five cities! If the emperor doesn't agree, Grandpa Wu will wash Daxia in blood, and not a single party member will be left! ”

"Porphy! Porphy! ”

There was a sound of falling, and the ministers fell to the ground, all of them as pale as paper.
