The four words "Hedong Battlefield" undoubtedly directly exposed the ambitions and delusions of the Western Xia people. In this battle of Song and Jin, Chu Tianya basically did not move, took the initiative to give up the Hedong stronghold, decisively retreated to Luoyang, Guanzhong, and then relied on the danger of Guanshan here to block Wanyan Zonghan north of the Yellow River. Now that the Jin Kingdom wants to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, Hedong will definitely return it to the Great Song Dynasty. However, the Tangut people pointed their hands and pointed the "battlefield" to the east of the river, and their intention was nothing more than to say that this place belonged to the Kingdom of Jin! After the Jin people are defeated, the spoils of Hedong must be shared with the Western Xia Kingdom!

This simplicity is ridiculous! -- It was not enough for you Xixia to take advantage of the fire to rob my Great Song Dynasty's Helongzhou County and Hedong Eight Pavilion area, and you also put your hand into my Chu someone's pocket, wanting to covet my Taiyuan hometown!

Chu Tianya's heart was already on fire.

Bai Xu was as angry as Meng De, but the three of them restrained their feelings and tempers very well, and did not attack on the spot. The three of them unanimously came to a conclusion: the Western Xia Kingdom was just a burglar who came to burglary under the guise of a "peace alliance"!

The envoys of the Western Xia also took the trouble to preach his "Song and Xia Peace Theory" over there, and he said: "The Jin State was reckless in military force and repeatedly bullied our countries. Our country has long been unbearable, but its strength is weak, and it dares to be angry but does not dare to speak. For example, today, the king of Luoyang and the southern kingdoms were given a complete defeat to the Jin country in the first battle of Wutongyuan -- thinking that the days of the Jin country were still short, and the foundation was not deep, and the people were not convinced, after this defeat, it would inevitably break the muscles and bones and slump. At this time, if the prince can wave his arms and invite the world's heroes to launch a bloody battle against the Jin country, the overall situation can be determined! The 50,000 iron troops of my Western Xia Kingdom are willing to look forward to the head of the prince and the horse, and fight with Wanyan Zonghan in the land east of the river! ”

Chu Tianya was about to be angry, and he sneered and handed over a look to Bai Xu, but he didn't say anything.

Bai Xu comprehended, stepped forward and said, "I don't know where the '50,000 Iron Army' mentioned by your envoy is stationed now?" Which route will be used to drive Hedong? ”

"Stationed in the Wyed Army. As long as the prince gives an order, he can take advantage of the Dao Fengxiang and detour behind Zong Han to cut off his way back. The envoy did not realize the deception, but replied truthfully.

Bai Xu smiled slightly, "Huai Dejun, it seems that I used to be the military town of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Uh......!" The envoy of Western Xia was stunned, and then he understood that he had fallen into Bai Xu's trick.

Bai Xu still smiled and said: "The iron harrier of the Western Xia Kingdom has always been majestic, and no one can beat it. I believe that even the Jin country's abducted horses and Tiefutu, who are known as invincible in the world, are nothing more than that. In recent years, the Song and Jin wars, and the Western Army, which was originally stationed on the western border of the Great Song Dynasty, has been repeatedly transferred to other battlefields to participate in the war, so as to guard against emptiness. So your country took advantage of this opportunity to dispatch the Iron Harrier to capture several states and counties of our Great Song Dynasty. At this time and that time, this account should not have been liquidated at this time--but your honorable envoy, since your country is sincere in making peace with our Great Song Dynasty, shouldn't you show a little sincerity? ”

"Yes, yes......" The Xixia envoy felt a great embarrassment in his heart, because one of the most taboo things he was told by Bai Xu to his face - the Xixia Kingdom had just turned his face with the Great Song Dynasty and robbed it while it was hot, maybe the things that were snatched back had not yet been heated, and they were going to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty, which was a bit unreasonable on the face.

"The monarch of our country has already said in advance, if our allies can repel Yan Zonghan in this battle and help the Great Song Dynasty recover Hedong County, I will not seek merit, but ask the Great Song Dynasty to give the 'Tiande, Yunnei' and other prefectures and counties to the Western Xia Kingdom, thinking that it is territory." The envoy of the Western Xia said, "Our kingdom must go forward and fight bravely on the battlefield to help the prince achieve great achievements!" ”

Shameless!

Chu Tianya's heart suddenly popped up with these three words, and he almost couldn't hold back his anger. But after thinking about it, since the other party doesn't want his face, what's the point of you reasoning with him? It's better to just plan and squeeze a little benefit from them first, and then squeeze it first.

Even if the Western Xia Kingdom is just acting and doesn't really want to help the Great Song Dynasty deal with the Jin people, it is better than turning against them at the negotiation table, so as to have one more enemy.

So Chu Tianya said with a smile: "The Song and Xia alliance fought against the gold thief, there must be no problem with this." If there is a big war, Xiao Wang will personally retire from the book and meet the monarch of your country to fight side by side on the battlefield. As for the granting of land, it has to be considered in the long run. It is a matter of national territory, and it is not something that Xiao Wang can decide right away. ”

"The prince is too modest." The envoy of the Western Xia arched his hand and said, "Who doesn't know that the current Great Song Dynasty has a king of Luoyang who is in charge of the Qiankun with the title of Tianxian, and all national matters will be decided?" It's just a mere state and county, so why should the prince push it? ”

"Your envoy's words are ridiculous -- what do you mean by 'mere states'?" Chu Tianya's face did not change, he was neither angry nor anxious, and said lightly, "Does your envoy want someone from Chu to also be Shi Jingtang of the Great Song Dynasty, and cede all the Helong and Hedong areas to the Western Xia Kingdom?" Such a betrayal of the country for glory and humiliation of the ancestors and descendants, Chu has not been able to do it! ”

"The prince is serious!" When the envoy of Western Xia heard this, he also knew that Chu Tianya might have been really angry in his heart, and hurriedly apologized, "Your Majesty's words are inappropriate, please forgive the prince!" -- The two countries can consider the long-term consideration of the ownership of Tiande, Yunnei, and other prefectures and counties. The top priority is to join forces to fight against the gold thief, please know the king! ”

"If you know, it's good." Chu Tianya sneered, "Your country's army can be temporarily stationed in Huaide. After the Jin Kingdom returned to our Great Song Hedong County, the Song and Xia countries should still sit down and have a good talk, about the ownership of these counties -- the last thing I want to see is that the Song and Xia countries have turned against each other because of these state and county issues! ”

In the last sentence, Chu Tianya's voice was very heavy.

The envoys of Western Xia trembled all over, and hurriedly arched their hands, "What the prince said is true!" - Song Xia Friendship Alliance, unchanged for a hundred years! Between our two countries, if there are big or small matters, we can sit down and discuss them in detail, and there is no need to cause swords and soldiers to hurt peace! ”

"That's the best." Chu Tianya sneered, "This king hopes that the Western Xia Kingdom will always be a good ally of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Yes, I've always thought so!" The envoy responded with a smile on his face while wiping cold sweat, and secretly said in his heart: The Song Dynasty now has this young and domineering King of Luoyang in charge of the dynasty, and it will be difficult to deal with the Great Song Dynasty in the future! Their army can defeat Wanyan Zongwang on the battlefield until the whole army is wiped out, and they will not take the iron harrier of our Western Xia Kingdom in their eyes. But when it came to the negotiation table, Chu Tianya, a bandit-born guy, was also soft and hard, did not eat oil and salt, and he had to fight desperately with others at every turn...... In the past, I was always used to bargaining with the Confucian scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, but now I am really not used to suddenly changing such a number one person!

"Regarding the detailed rules for the use of troops, Mr. Bai Xubai, the military advisor of our army, will discuss with your envoy in detail." After Chu Tianya said this, he turned to Xiao Ta Buyan, "On the queen's side, what do you have to say?" ”

Xiao got up and walked to the hall, saluted first, and then said: "Our country began with grassroots, and wealth is scarce and people are not strong. However, Juer Khan and his subjects have a blood of revenge to serve the country, and they swear not to share the sky with the Jin people. Fortunately, the king of Luoyang was given to all the people in the world, and he could resist the gold thieves and defeat him. Now, Juer Khan is urgently training his 20,000 elite soldiers and horses to prepare for battle. As long as the prince sets off on the Northern Expedition, the soldiers and horses of our country will unite the tribes of the Western Regions and the tribes of the northern grasslands, attack and kill the Jurchens for thousands of miles, and respond to the prince! ”

"Thousands of miles?" Chu Tianya's brows furrowed slightly, "Your country is far away in the Western Regions, how can you attack and transfer the law?" ”

"Out of the Tianshan Mountains, wading into the desert, going straight to the clouds, and turning to Youyan!" Xiao Ta Buyan's short words frightened Chu Tianya and Bai Xu, who were present, who knew the affairs of the soldiers.

These words are easy to say, but not much more difficult to do. This is a lone army thousands of miles away, what kind of soldiers and horses can do such a thing?

Xiao Ta Buyan obviously saw the suspicions of everyone present, and she said indifferently: "It is true that our country is too far away from Middle-earth, and attacking the enemy for thousands of miles is not a strategy to go to war. However, all of us are determined to restore the country, and although there are many difficulties and dangers, it also prevents my desire to restore the country! - Please believe that as long as you give an order, the soldiers and horses of the other Western Regions and steppe tribes who are in contact with Juer Khan will appear where they should appear at the appointed time! ”

Chu Tianya nodded noncommittally and fell into deep thought.

Compared with the deceit and impure motives of the Western Xia Kingdom, the motives of the Western Liao are actually very clear, and the credibility is quite high. The biggest dream of Yelu Dashi and his countrymen and army in this life is nothing more than to defeat the Jurchens and restore the Liao Kingdom. Now that the Jurchens have been defeated, it is a good time for them to make a comeback and achieve their dreams. Chu Tianya put himself in his shoes, if I were Yelu Dashi, I would not let go of such a great opportunity.

In other words, it is easy for Western Xia to help these two allies in front of him, but they are very untrustworthy; The Western Liao must have come to form an alliance in good faith, but it is doubtful that they can really help in any way.

One is capable and has a bad attitude; One is that the attitude is very good, but the ability is very worrying.

Chu Tianya shook his head involuntarily, his brows furrowed.

Xiao Ta Buyan obviously understood Chu Tianya's expression, and he felt apprehensive in his heart, and kept looking at Xiao Linglong.

Xiao Linglong pretended not to see it, looked at her nose and nose, and was silent.

At this time, Bai Xu walked to Chu Tianya's side, bent down and whispered: "Lord, since the envoys of the two countries have already expressed their intentions, why don't you invite the envoys of the two countries to rest in the couch first?" ”

"It's fine." Chu Tianya clapped his knees and stood up, "This matter is serious, we need to discuss it." Two noble envoys, please rest for a while! -- Mengde, it is up to you to arrange and entertain the envoys of the two countries! ”

"Yes!"

"Thank you, King Luoyang!"

Xiao Linglong said goodbye to Chu Tianya, and personally went to send Xiao Ta to the pavilion.

After everyone left, Bai Xu said: "Lord, Xiaosheng can be seen that the villain of the Western Xia Kingdom has a bad face, and he has bad intentions; Xiliao is sincere, but his strength is weak, and I am afraid it will be difficult to rely on. ”

"Yes. Yelu Dashi is bent on restoring the country, and his desire to defeat the Jin country is even more urgent than mine. Chu Tianya paced slowly with his hands on his back, and said, "Did you hear it just now, that Empress Xiao's words were full of Chu Chu pity, one moment saying that they were poor, and the other saying that they lacked soldiers and major generals. His intention is nothing more than to borrow money from me, borrow soldiers and borrow horses. ”

Bai Xu smiled dumbly, "Otherwise, how could Yelu Dashi send Empress Xiao to be an envoy?" Its intention is nothing more than to get close to the main father-in-law's homely routine, set up, and get a little benefit! ”

"Hey, I finally recognized a sister-in-law as a cheap relative, but she came to kill the rich and help the poor, but it is not cheap at all!" Chu Tianya couldn't cry or laugh, "I said, Yelu Dashi is not a good thing, his face is better than that of Li Qianshun, the emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, and he can't see where to go." When he lost Xiao Linglong and killed his father, the two were enemies; Now that he saw that the man Xiao Linglong was with was gaining power, he could still salivate and ask for help. Tsk, if you talk about cheekiness, I'm really inferior to him! ”
