Chapter 287: Losing His Wife and Breaking His Soldiers
When Chu Tianya arrived at the post house, he found that Bai Xu was also there. His home lives not far from the post house, and he must have heard the movement and came to check on the situation.
Xiao Ta didn't smoke and really moved, there was a big bruise on his head, and he was bleeding more than he was unconscious. After careful inspection, the doctor said that the collision was really not light, although his life was fine, but he was in a coma for a period of time, and he needed to recuperate. In addition, the pulse of the injured person is very chaotic and should not be stimulated again, otherwise it is very easy to faint and become insane.
Chu Tianya didn't expect that things would turn out like this. The struggle between men sandwiches a woman in the middle to survive and die, which is not the result that Chu Tianya wants.
"Lord, Xiaosheng has something to say." Seeing Chu Tianya's grim face and in a bad mood, Bai Xu whispered.
Chu Tianya nodded and went with him to the outer house of the pavilion.
"Lord, Xiao Sheng thinks that he can still form an alliance with Xiliao." Bai Xu went straight to the point.
Chu Tianya nodded noncommittally, "Tell me your reason?" ”
"Western Liao is weak and in a difficult situation, and it urgently needs a strong foreign alliance to back it up, which is a prerequisite." Bai Xu said, "Moreover, the national policy of Western Liao is also to fight against the Jin State, which is in line with my interests." With these two points, Xiliao is enough for my use. ”
Chu Tianya's eyebrows were not extended, "We all understand these big truths. But as you can see, Jerodashi wants me to die even more. ”
"Lord, tell you the truth - if Xiaosheng is Yelu Dashi, Xiaosheng will also want the life of the lord." Bai Xu said boldly.
Chu Tianya frowned, "Why?" -- Aren't the two major conditions you just mentioned important to Xiliao? ”
"It's very important. However, the existence of the lord made Yelu Dashi even more uneasy. Bai Xu said, "If you want to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty and unite against Jin, without the lord living in it, Yelu Dashi can do it, and maybe even more." ”
Chu Tianya's heart lit up, "It makes sense!" - If there was no Chu, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and the ministers of the court would have no reason to refuse an ally who took the initiative to show goodwill. In particular, this ally can also help us fight against Jin together, and it can also contain Western Xia behind the scenes and reduce the pressure on the Western Front border defense of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Because of this, Yelu Dashi decided to take the life of the lord out of other considerations." Bai Xu said, "Everyone in the world knows that the lord is wise and ambitious, and it is necessary to go north to recover his homeland, and he will not give up if he does not destroy the Jin country." Coincidentally, this is also the grand plan of Yelu Dashi. But the status quo is that after the First World War in Wutongyuan, the main army has occupied a certain advantage, and even forced the invincible Jin State to take the initiative to sue for peace. And he, Yelu Dashi, is still struggling to survive in that poor and remote place in the Western Regions. If the situation is allowed to develop, there is a great possibility that the lord will complete his grand wish to overthrow the Jin State and collect all the northern land before him - when the time comes, what else can he do with Yelu Dashi? In other words, now Jin Guo is a dog in the water, and everyone beats him; And the lord is the one who stands closest with a big stick in his hand. Jerod was determined to take the dog that had fallen into the water; Therefore, the lord became the first enemy to be eliminated in his mind. If the lord dies, Luoyang will be in chaos, and the Great Song Dynasty will be in chaos. It coincided with the initial defeat of the Jin State and the great loss of troops -- it was the two tigers who fought each other and both were defeated. He's a big stone, but it's really an opportunity! ”
"Very good analysis." Chu Tianya nodded, he had already thought of what Bai Xu said, so he said, "As you said, Yelu Dashi has to kill me - then why do you want to form an alliance with it?" ”
Bai Xu smiled slightly, "Xiao Ta committed suicide by hitting the wall without smoke, and it was because his sinister intentions had been revealed that he was afraid of himself. It can be seen from her table that Xiliao not only wanted to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, but also wanted the lord to die, and at the same time, he was extremely afraid of offending the lord. Their psychology is so contradictory, it is precisely because it is easy for the lord to control. ”
"Are you saying that Xiao Ta failed to kill and then attempted suicide, which means that Xiliao is now in a panic, for fear that someone from I, Chu, will design to destroy Xiliao?" Chu Tianya was awakened by Bai Xu's point, and his heart brightened, "If I can forgive him for not dying, Xiliao will definitely die for my use?" ”
"The lord is wise." Bai Xu bowed his hand, "This is 'it is better to make merit than to pass'." Xiliao served the lord as a sinful person, and he would not dare to do anything disobedient again. Otherwise, the front and back accounts will be liquidated together, and Xiliao will die. Although Xiao Ta is shrewd and ruthless, he is a cowardly woman after all. Her despair committed suicide, which exposed Xiliao's timidity and fear. It is conceivable that if the lord now forgives and allied with Xi Liao regardless of his past suspicions, Xi Liao will be grateful and go all out - this is like releasing death row prisoners from prison and driving them into battle, and if they make meritorious deeds, they can be convicted and released. Therefore, the army organized by death row prisoners has always done its best, and its combat effectiveness is very strong! ”
After hearing this, Chu Tianya's heart suddenly brightened, "In this way, I don't need to give them money and food?" ”
"Yes." Bai Xu was also smiling, "Xiao Ta's sting, a bump, can be regarded as expensive." not only made Yelu Dashi's ambition so strong that it was destroyed, but also knocked out a large number of soldiers, horses, money and food. ”
"In this way, Xiao Ta Buyan is Yelu Dashi's ruined girl, or is he a member of my Chu someone's lucky general?" When Chu Tianya said this, he couldn't help laughing, "That's it, she is a woman's family, and she can't force her to death." Spread it out and said that I, someone in Chu, only knows how to bully the weak - too often, too yin! ”
"The subordinates are here!" Sisters come out and promise.
"From now on, your sisters don't have to be in Qingwei, they will take care of Xiao Ta Buyan." Chu Tianya ordered, "It is important to ensure her absolute safety, and she is not allowed to look for a short time again." When she wakes up, you might as well sue her, and say that the king of Luoyang has changed his mind and is already reconsidering the alliance with Western Liao. Let her take advantage of the opportunity. ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Bai Xu nodded with a smile, "Lord, Xiaosheng wants to say something...... What shouldn't be said. ”
Chu Tianya smiled, "You are getting bolder and bolder, you want to say what you shouldn't say?" -- Let's talk about it! ”
Bai Xu said with a smile: "Xiao Sheng thinks that for the sake of Lord Xiao Jun, there is no need to be too mean to Xiao Ta. Xiliao made a big mistake and opened the lord, and if you want to let Xiao Ta go back, she doesn't dare to go back. Otherwise, Xiliao will always worry that the lord will be in a bad mood one day, so he will take Xiliao for the knife. Put one or two hostages here, and Xiliao will feel more at ease. Therefore, it is better to leave Xiao Ta Buyan behind, or invite their prince to accompany their mother. This is good for both public and private purposes. ”
"What do you want to say?" Chu Tianya deliberately turned his face blank, "Are you asking me to put Xiao Ta into my room?" ”
"The lord of Xiao County is beautiful and fragrant, and Xiao Tower is not smoking, isn't it a city and a country? …… Sister flowers, the blessing of all people! Bai Xu lowered his voice and snickered, "What's more, the queens of a country have all been reduced to the ministers of the lord's house, tsk, how majestic is this?" ”
"Tsk, Bai Xu!" Chu Tianya rolled his eyes with disdain, "You are a scholar who has read the books of sages and sages, why do you do this?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Bai Xu grinned, "Xiaosheng is both a scholar and a thief!" ”
"!" Chu Tianya's face was blank, "I'm leaving, I'll leave it to you here!" ”
After that, Chu Tianya stroked his sleeves and left.
Bai Xu smiled and said nothing, and called Taichang Taiyin to his side.
"Listen, Xiao Ta is not smoking sooner or later, she will be the lord's woman." Bai Xu said, "Xiaosheng serves, don't slack off." ”
The sisters were stunned and agreed with tears and laughter.
Bai Xu shook his fan and said with a smile, "When the sheep enters the tiger's mouth, where is the reason to go back?" As said in the Wa Yan commentary, Yelu Dashi, this time you really lost your wife and your soldiers. ”
When Chu Tianya returned to the room, he found that Xiao Linglong had gotten up and two female guards were waiting for her.
"What's wrong?" Chu Tianya asked.
"My lord, the county lord vomits......" replied the female guard.
Xiao Linglong said: "Tianya, you go to the compartment to sleep!" I vomit so often that I wake up all night, and you can't sleep well. ”
"It's okay, I'll accompany you—you two stand down." Chu Tianya walked to the edge of the bed and sat down to fold the quilt for her, and said, "When you are the most uncomfortable, I will definitely accompany you." ”
Xiao Linglong's face was a little pale and ugly, and she leaned weakly into Chu Tianya's arms, and said softly: "Why is pregnancy so uncomfortable, but women have to suffer such torture." Tianya, I know your kindness and affection. But you are not an ordinary man, you have more urgent things to do, how can you spend all your time by my side? Now that internal and external troubles are at a critical juncture, you can do whatever you should do! ”
Chu Tianya nodded lightly, "I plan to go to Wutong Yuan tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the affairs here will be handed over to Bai Xu and Meng De." ”
"That'...... What about my sister? Xiao Linglong asked. She didn't know about Xiao Ta Buyan's suicide tonight.
Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "I still decided to form an alliance with Xiliao." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Linglong was slightly surprised, "Things have come to this, do you want to form an alliance with it?" ”
"In major national affairs, there should be no too much personal grudge." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Weighing the pros and cons, I still think that multiple allies who look like each other are better than multiple enemies who have deep grievances. At least for now, it seems. ”
Xiao Linglong nodded thoughtfully, "It's good for you to decide on the big thing, I'm just curious to ask." My sister she ......"
"She will stay in Luoyang in the future and accompany you." Chu Tianya said, "And the prince of Western Liao will also come." ”
Xiao Linglong looked at Chu Tianya in astonishment again.
"You don't have to look at me like that." Chu Tianya smiled, "I didn't force them to do this, they volunteered." ”
"Okay...... Xiao Linglong sighed lightly, "It's such a big thing, I have no intention and no right to ask." Anyway...... She's my sister. I don't have any relatives in this world!
The next day, Chu Tianya met with the envoys of Western Xia again, and asked Bai Xu to discuss with him in detail some details of the alliance and joint dispatch of troops between the two countries. After the discussion is completed, it will be symbolically submitted to the imperial court for approval, and the matter will be completed.
In this way, it is time for Chu Tianya to return to Tokyo and enter the government. So, he prepared to return the next day.
