Chapter 660: The Messenger
Xiao Mo is waiting for the soldiers to recover further, even if it is not 100% recovered, but at least they must recover enough to continue marching before they can set off, right?
Fortunately, this time Xiao Mo was afraid that he would encounter great difficulties in crossing the Gobi, so the agreed time with Chong Shiheng was to launch a general attack on Xiping Mansion and Xingqing Mansion in mid-September!
There was not enough time, so after staying in Duolan for a few days, the soldiers were almost cultivated, and Xiao Mo led the army to bypass Dulan, enter the Gobi again, and then march towards Haixi!
The time entered the end of August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival of the An Dynasty this year became a little boring because of the war between Xiazhou and Liao. ()
Fortunately, the good news from Taiyuan finally arrived in the capital, when the Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed, but as soon as the news came out, people poured into the streets to carnival, which was more festive than the Mid-Autumn Festival!
This time Zhao Quan was also very happy, and finally raised his eyebrows, and then Zhao Quan issued an amnesty to the world! and announced the cancellation of the attack on the Liao State, and the great victory over the Liao army and the attitude of the imperial court to the world.
For a time, the people and soldiers of the An Dynasty were greatly encouraged, and even the court was a voice against the Liao State, and there were even ministers who made a statement, asking Zhao Quan to issue an edict to the Liao State, ordering the Liao State to be a vassal to the An Dynasty!
If Xiao Mo was there, he would definitely scold this minister.
Who wants Liao to be a minister? Isn't that a bad thing?
And although the Liao State has been defeated by the An Dynasty several times in a row, the main force of the Liao State army is still there, and it has not been affected.
But Zhao Quan was also carried away by the victory, and actually listened to the minister's advice, and then asked Ji Ping to draft an edict.
In the edict, Zhao Quan proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, ordered Yelu Hongji to surrender, made the Liao State a vassal, and paid a certain amount of horses and silver every year.
When the envoy arrived in Liao, Yelu Hongji thought that although the An Dynasty had won the war, it was afraid of war and came to sue for peace, because the An Dynasty had done such a thing a few years ago.
At that time, Zhao Quan drove the expedition in person, and then the morale of the An Dynasty army was shocked, and the Liao State strategically chose to retreat, and the An Dynasty army took advantage of the situation to pursue and defeat the Liao army, but later the An Dynasty sent an envoy to the Liao State to ask for peace!
So this time, Yelu Hongji thought that An Chao was scared again, so he specially arranged for the envoy of An Chao to come to meet him in the early court!
The envoy came to the early dynasty, and at this time Zhang Xiaojie and Zhang Yuanzhi, as well as Xiao Tianzuo and Yelu Aluhan were all in Xijing. After the defeat of the Liao army last time, Zhang Yuanzhi vomited blood again, and then was recalled to Xijing by the edict of Yelu Hongji, and only sent the general Meng Gong to guard Daizhou.
Yelu Hongji said to the envoy: "This time it's just that my Da Liao has temporarily withdrawn his troops because of the trouble in Liaodong......"
When the envoy heard this, he raised his head, straightened his chest and said to Yelu Hongji: "The king, the giant foreign minister knows that the rebellion in Liaodong is just a small fight, if the king says so, why not straighten out the soldiers and horses, and come to Taiyuan to fight again?" ”
This time, the envoy of the An Dynasty not only raised his head in the Liao Kingdom, but even changed his title, he used to call Yelu Hongji the Emperor of Liao, but now he called Yelu Hongji the king!
So Zhang Yuanzhi stood up and shouted to the envoy of the An Dynasty: "Bold, my Da Liao and An Chao have always been on an equal footing, and the envoys actually dare to bully my Da Liao Emperor?" ”
The envoy didn't look at Zhang Yuanzhi, so he said: "The general of the defeated army, dare to say more?" ”
In a word, it hit Zhang Yuanzhi's sore spot and made Zhang Yuanzhi grit his teeth with anger!
This time, the attitude of the envoy of the An Dynasty, everyone saw it, Zhang Yuanzhi and Yelu Aluhan naturally would not be happy, the two of them had just lost the battle, and the mood was depressed, at this time, the An Dynasty sent an envoy to Liao to show off their might, of course they were angry!
And Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Tianzuo glanced at each other, and in front of the courtiers of the Liao State, they couldn't see what kind of expressions the two of them were.
And Yelu Hongji also frowned, he had a bad feeling! I feel that this time I guessed wrong, and the envoy of the An Dynasty seems to have come with bad intentions!
So Yelu Hongji ordered someone to pass the letter of state presented by the envoy, and then read it with a frown, and then Yelu Hongji looked at the envoy, then laughed, and said coldly to the eunuch next to him: "Read! ”
The eunuch hesitated for a moment and looked at Yelu Hongji.
Yelu Hongji was annoyed, and shouted again: "Read! ”
Hearing Yelu Hongji's unkind tone, the eunuch knew that Yelu Hongji was angry, so he read out the edict of An Chao aloud.
In the edict, Zhao Quan did not treat Yelu Hongji politely, as if he was a monarch of the upper kingdom, and his words were very affirmative, asking Yelu Hongji to lead the ministers of the Liao State to be vassals to the An Dynasty, and also stipulated that the Liao State should return the coins of the An Dynasty in these years, and also pay tribute to the An Dynasty horses, gold and silver!
As for the amount of gold, silver, and money, Zhao Quan's edict did not stipulate it, but asked Yelu Hongji to consult with the envoy sent.
After hearing this edict, the court of the Liao State exploded all of a sudden, and then they all looked at the envoy of the An Dynasty angrily.
This time, the envoy of the An Dynasty was a new descendant, and the An Dynasty asked him to envoy to the Liao State, because he took a fancy to the fact that the descendant had a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers.
Since it is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, it is natural that it will not be afraid of the cold eyes of the ministers of the Liao State.
As a political officer, Zhang Xiaojie naturally wanted to show that he was very angry, and he stood up and said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, the An Dynasty is too deceitful, and the minister thinks that the emperor cannot answer the call!" ”
After that, Zhang Xiaojie glanced at Zhang Yuanzhi.
Yelu Hongji also asked Zhang Yuanzhi: "What does the privy envoy think?" ”
Zhang Yuanzhi saluted Yelu Hongji and said: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the ministers, the An Dynasty deceives people too much, despises my Daliao, and the envoy is even more unruly and unruly to disrupt the heart of our army, and this person should be killed to shock the heart of our army!" ”
"The two countries intersect, don't cut the ......" Yelu Hongji hesitated, but when he saw that the envoy of the An Dynasty was not only not afraid, but looked proud, he couldn't help but be annoyed.
The envoy of the An Dynasty said: "Sure enough, it is a group of barbarians who eat the ancients, and they will kill if they want to kill, and I am a dignified Heavenly Empire, only the courtiers who stand and die, and there are no villains who steal life!" ”
"You!" Yelu Hongji looked at the other party's righteous and awe-inspiring look, and couldn't help but be annoyed, turned to Zhang Xiaojie and asked, "What does Zhang Aiqing think I should do?" ”
Seeing that Yelu Hongji asked him, Zhang Xiaojie was overjoyed, and said: "The minister also thinks that the privy envoy is right, this person offends the emperor's majesty, and he should be killed!" ”
After that, Zhang Xiaojie glanced at Xiao Tianzuo, Xiao Tianzuo nodded to Zhang Xiaojie, and then also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also seconded the suggestion of the privy envoy Zhang Yuanzhi Zhang!" "Tip: How to quickly search for the book you're looking for
