Chapter 712: Old treacherous and cunning

So Li Ba didn't dare to slack off, every time he led his troops out of the city, he would return in the end!

The trick of not hiding Pang is also very useful to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

This also made Li Ba and Helian Cheng both puzzled, they couldn't guess whether they were hiding the true intentions of Pang and Glolu.

It was as if the other party was in no hurry to attack Xuanhua Mansion at all.

Later, Helian Cheng said to Li Ba: "They must be the elite of Yipintang, and they dare not come to attack Xuanhua Mansion!" ”

Li Ba thought for a while and said, "It can only be explained like this!" ”

When he said this, Li Ba was a little proud, after all, he was still very proud and proud of the elite of Yipintang under his command!

So in this way, the battle situation in Xuanhua Mansion fell into a half-dead.

On the other side, the Liao State, which had been silent for a while, finally recovered from the failure of the attack on Taiyuan.

Zhang Yuanzhi vomited blood for the second time, and then he was recuperating in Xijing, until later, Wu Hao found Zhang Yuanzhi's house.

Wu Hao is the second-in-command of the Western Xia court, second only to Zhang Yuan, and now Zhang Yuan is imprisoned in Gyeongju by Xiao Mo, Wu Hao has become the backbone of the Western Xia court.

Zhang Yuanzhi naturally did not dare to slack off, after Wu Hao saw Zhang Yuanzhi, he handed Yelu Rong's letter to Zhang Yuanzhi, this time Ye Lurong wrote two letters to Liao, one was written with Li Yuan to Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, and the other was written by Yelu Rong to her father Yelu Aluhan.

The letter that Wu Hao showed to Zhang Yuanzhi was written by Yelu Rong to Yelu Aluhan.

Zhang Yuanzhi was not taboo, he checked it after receiving the letter, and after reading it, Zhang Yuanzhi said to Wu Hao: "Now the An army is strong, but their main army and artillery are in Taiyuan, why did the hundreds of thousands of troops in Western Xia fall into such a situation?" ”

In the words, Zhang Yuanzhi faintly had the meaning of questioning, Wu Hao listened, and said in a cold voice: "Lord Zhang, Xiao Mo uses soldiers like a god, and Lord Zhang also knows this, not to mention that there is an old and cunning Chong Shiheng, our Xixia can be said to be facing two characters who use soldiers like gods, and there are also fierce generals Yang Hong and general Cao Xiang." And I, the emperor of Xixia, in order to form an alliance with the Great Liao, did not hesitate to offend the Yeli clan, which led to the migration of the party and the clan to the An Dynasty, and Yeli Yuqi became the general of the An Dynasty. ”

Although Wu Hao didn't say anything to Zhang Yuanzhi, he also sarcastically mocked Zhang Yuanzhi a little.

is the sentence that Wu Hao praised Xiao Mo for using soldiers like a god, but he was actually slapping Zhang Yuanzhi in the face.

In the past, Zhang Yuanzhi always thought that he was the best in the world in the use of soldiers and did not take Xiao Mo in his eyes, but the facts proved that Zhang Yuanzhi could not fight Xiao Mo at all.

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Yuanzhi's face turned pale, he snorted coldly, and said to Wu Hao: "The matter of the Yeli clan is indeed your emperor's rush, and ...... Since he already has the heart of abolishing the queen, he must be well prepared, Brother Zhang was also in Western Xia at that time, why didn't he stop it, as a result, nearly ten tribes of the Dangxiang clan surrendered to the An Dynasty, and the power of the An Dynasty was strengthened in vain! ”

Wu Hao said expressionlessly: "Lord Zhang's words are wrong, I, the lord of Western Xia, is also to make peace with Da Liao and curry favor with the princess of Da Liao, so I have no choice but to abolish it, but now Lord Zhang is talking about it, but it is our lord of Western Xia who is wrong!" Isn't that far-fetched? ”

Wu Hao has never been very interested in Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi, so when Li Yuan wanted to kill Yeli Wangrong, Wu Hao was still on the side to help blow the wind in his ears, so of course Wu Hao would not admit in front of Zhang Yuanzhi that Li Yuan was wrong to Yeli like this.

"Besides......" Wu Hao continued: "When I set up a plan with Lord Zhang to jointly fight against the An Dynasty, Lord Zhang said that in the future, the two countries will rely on each other, and now that my Western Xia is in danger, what is the use of us arguing here about who is right and who is wrong?" ”

Zhang Yuanzhi knew that Wu Hao had always been able to argue, so he didn't bother to argue with Wu Hao.

The two came to the mansion of Yelu Aluhan, the king of the Southern Courtyard, at this time, Zhang Yuanzhi had not yet married Yelu Aluhan's youngest daughter, so this visit was in the name of Wu Hao's envoys from the following countries.

After meeting Yelu Aruhan, Zhang Yuanzhi immediately explained the situation in Western Xia to Yelu Aruhan.

Then Wu Hao handed Yelu Rong's letter to Yelu Aluhan, who read the letter and said to Wu Hao: "The messenger came from afar, and the greeting was not good, please forgive me!" ”

This was a polite remark, but Yelu Aruhan didn't say anything after reading Yelu Rong's letter, which made Wu Hao unable to see what Yelu Aruhan was thinking in his heart.

The old fox is the old fox, whether it is Wu Hao or Zhang Yuanzhi, they are still a little more tender than Yelu Aluhan.

Of course, Wu Hao didn't give up, he saluted Yelu Aluhan, and then asked: "The king, the subordinate is the minister of the county lord, and the Western Xia is also the country of the county lord, now that the country is in trouble, the king cannot sit idly by!" ”

"Hmm!" Yelu Aluhan nodded and said to Wu Hao: "The envoy is right, but this king is in this position, and everything is naturally based on the dragon head of the Great Liao Emperor, so this matter of sending troops has to wait for the old man to ask the emperor!" ”

"King!" Wu Hao was anxious, and asked Yelu Aluhan: "The national abbot is the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Great Liao, and he holds the power of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Great Liao. ”

Even the national abbot shouted out, this is obviously Wu Hao patting Yelu Aruhan's sycophant, because Yelu Rong is the daughter of Yelu Aruhan and the queen of Western Xia, so it is good for Wu Hao to call Yelu Aluhan the national abbot.

Wu Hao was forced to be anxious by the silent Yelu Aluhan, so he had to play the emotional card of Yelu Rong.

But Yelu Aruhan was still unmoved, and after hearing Wu Hao's words, Yelu Aruhan said expressionlessly: "The envoy's words are wrong, how dare this king pretend to be the ruler of Western Xia?" Your queen is indeed the daughter of this king, but before marrying into Western Xia, she has been named the princess of Da Liao by the emperor, and this marriage matter is also handled by my Da Liao emperor! The public is public, the private is private, how can this king go beyond his authority and decide on behalf of the emperor this major event related to the future of Daliao? ”

With that, Jelu Aruhan picked up the teacup and said, "This king is a little tired, so please go back!" As for the dispatch of troops, I believe that tomorrow the court will know about it! ”

Yelu Aluhan began to send off the guests, and Zhang Yuanzhi got up and planned to leave with Wu Hao.

Wu Hao was still a little unwilling, because he didn't know what Yelu Aruhan was thinking, and Yelu Aruhan didn't clearly state his attitude.

So Wu Hao still wanted to say something to Yelu Aluhan, but Zhang Yuanzhi pulled him out of the palace of the king of the Southern Courtyard.

Out of the palace, Wu Hao shook off Zhang Yuanzhi, and then said to him: "Master Zhang, you obviously know that this matter is related to the survival of my Western Xia, why do you want to pull the lower officials away?" ”

Zhang Yuanzhi looked at Wu Hao and smiled, and said: "Lord Wu, the prince has said everything he should say, and it is useless to stay longer, why not take advantage of the time to send this letter to the Emperor of Daliao to the palace earlier?" ”

"The king of the Southern Courtyard doesn't let go, what's the use of sending this letter to the palace?" Wu Hao complained, then thought about it, looked at Zhang Yuanzhi and asked, "Lord Zhang said what the prince should have said before, what does this mean?" ”

"Haha......" Zhang Yuanzhi smiled at Wu Hao and shook his head, and then said: "How else to say that care is chaotic?" Lord Wu was so worried about the affairs of Western Xia that he didn't even hear the meaning of the prince's words just now! ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Hao asked, and then remembered what Yelu Aluhan had just said in his mind, and then his expression was shocked!

Although Yelu Aluhan had been expressionless just now, and even looked like he was thinking about the Liao State, and he didn't plan to send troops to rescue Western Xia, Yelu Aluhan's words also revealed another piece of information.

That's what Yelu Aluhan said, before Yelu Rong got married, she was already the princess of Liao who was sealed by the emperor of Liao, and she was the person of the emperor of Liao, so now Yelu Rong is in danger, and it is naturally up to the emperor of Liao to decide whether she should be saved or not.

This sentence sounded a little wrong, Wu Hao didn't notice it because he was worried about the war in Western Xia at that time. Looking back now, Wu Hao realized that Yelu Aluhan's words seemed to be said to Yelu Hongji.

Wu Hao finally understood the meaning of Zhang Yuan's straight words, and finally knew what Yelu Aluhan meant.

It turned out that Yelu Aluhan looked like he had a clear distinction between public and private, but in fact, in his heart, he still hoped to send troops to rescue Xixia and save Yelu Rong.

But Jeruhan was Jeruhan, and he was a calculating man, and Jeruhan knew Jeruhuhan better than anyone else in the world.

It is precisely because Yelu Aruhan understands Yelu Hongji that Yelu Aruhan will look like he is clearly distinguishing between public and private when he faces Wu Hao today.

Because Yelu Aruhan knew that although Yelu Hongji was a little mediocre, he was also a man with great ambitions.

It is a bit contradictory to say that a mediocre emperor has great ambitions, but it is true!

Yelu Hongji's ambition is indeed ambitious, because he dreams of defeating the An Dynasty and establishing an immortal foundation!

That's a big ambition, isn't it?

But as explained above, Yelu Hongji is a very pleasure-hungry person, he abandoned the three thousand beauties in the backyard of the Zhongjing Imperial Palace, and built another palace in Xijing, captured many women from the Western Regions, and then played with these Western Regions women in the palace every day. In terms of dealing with court affairs, Yelu Hongji also likes to throw things on the officials below, and sometimes he is indecisive, so he is a mediocre emperor.

Yelu Hongji's ambition is indeed very ambitious, but his ability is somewhat mediocre, which is not in conflict.

What does this mean?

It shows that Yelu Hongji is a very good emperor, so this time Yelu Aruhan will make such a performance in front of Wu Hao, Yelu Aruhan's purpose is to make Yelu Hongji appreciate his selfless performance like this, so as to trust himself more!
