Chapter 64: The Western Xia Envoy
It was a surprise to me that I would surrender without a fight, but it was also a good thing to do, so that the war would end faster. The defenders of the Shun Military Division on the right wing directly abandoned the strong military fortress and joined forces to defend Dingzhou against the attack of our army.
"Yang Zhi, how are they?" I asked
"Your Majesty, General Yang and General Dong, bloodlessly occupied the occupation of the right wing of the Chaoshun Military Division, and captured the Western Xia army in the future to transport away 600,000 stones, but when they arrived at the city of Dingzhou encountered stubborn resistance, after the merger of the Western Xia army in Dingzhou, there were a total of about 47,000 people, even if the two generals Yang Dong continued to bomb, the head of Dingzhou City also shot out of bed crossbows from time to time, and the four city gates of Dingzhou should be blocked and reinforced with bricks and stones from the inside of the city gate, no matter how the mortar attack is not able to blow up the city gate, General Dong ordered the soldiers to build a ladder to attack the city, but was met with very stubborn resistance, our army suffered heavy losses, according to statistics, in this battle, our army killed 3,763 people, seriously wounded 2,100 people. Lu Junyi said to me
"Your Majesty, if you attack like this, our army's losses will be too great, so the last general will immediately lead people to bring a few heavy artillery." Sun Li said to me with a fist
"Your Majesty, General Sun said yes, they sealed the city gate with bricks and stones from the inside, and our army's mortars could not have any substantial effect on the city wall, and the minister agreed with General Sun's opinion" Chu Luli said
And when I saw Wu Yong lowering his eyebrows and pondering, I opened my mouth and asked, "Wu Aiqing, what about your opinion?"
"Your Majesty, didn't Marshal Lu say just now, the four city gates of the Xixia people are all sealed, hehehehe" Wu glued his beard with his left hand and smiled mysteriously
"Hahaha, what a Wu Aiqing, a clever plan, explain it to them" Although I also thought of it, but as the emperor, what's the matter, I have to give my ministers a chance to perform, don't you say yes. Belch...... Well, I'll admit, I don't know what to do, it's just a little pretending hehe
"Yes, Your Majesty, the generals, you think, the guards and Taishou of Dingzhou City have all sealed the four gates with bricks and stones from the inside, we can't get in, and they can't get out, so their problem is here, there are 600,000 stone grains and grass in the right wing of the Shun Military Division that have not come and transported away, and according to the information provided by Lord Tie, the standing military rations of Dingzhou City are only enough for 17,000 defenders of Dingzhou to eat in January, and now there are 30,000 more Xixia soldiers out of thin air, and now it is counted, I'm afraid that the grain stock in Dingzhou City can last for five or six days, so the minister's meaning, Dingzhou does not need to fight, and after ten days, our army will send someone to take the city directly. ”
"Wonderful, Your Majesty, Lord Wu's plan is very clever." Lu Junyi said to me
"If you go to the army to fight and plot, the soldiers are not bloody, and the ministers are not as good as Lord Wu." Chu Luli said
"Okay, herald, Yang Zhi Dongping, soldiers besiege Dingzhou City." …… Dividing line ......
Under the city of Xingqing, the Great Song military camp
"Your Majesty, the envoys of Western Xia ask to see me." Lu Jun said to me, who was patrolling the camp
"Ao, we only arrived yesterday, and they sent envoys today, so they are too spineless." I'm talking about a feeling of standing and talking without backache
"The Tangut people are treacherous and cowardly, they are already in the pocket of our country, why does Your Majesty need to see him, just cut him down." Wu Song's straight temper came up and said to me again
"The emperor hasn't spoken yet, why are you interjecting again, quickly retreat." Lu Junyi reprimanded Wu Songdao with a tiger face, he knew that although I used their masters and apprentices very much, he also knew the consequences of being pampered and coquettish and the fear of accompanying the king like a tiger
"Hahaha, it's okay, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so formal, but when you meet the envoy of Xixia, you have to control it." I said to Wu Song, and then turned to Lu Junyi and said: "Beat the drum and raise the tent, pass it to the generals, and within the golden horde, pass it to the envoys of Western Xia." ”
"The last will obey."
"Minister, Western Xia envoy, Li Zaiwen, prime minister of Shangshu Province, knocks to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Kingdom." Li Zaiwen wore the prime minister's court clothes during the Western Xia Dynasty and bowed to me
"Get up, please take a seat, I think the Prime Minister must have brought good news this time." I don't care what news you have, wait for you to leave your things, and I'll beat you up for a reason when I turn around, I thought evilly
"Yes, after the discussion of our ministers, Your Majesty has decided that our country is willing to sign a contract with the Great Song Dynasty to make an eternal alliance, and here, Your Majesty of our country has specially asked the ministers to bring a thousand boys and a thousand virgins to serve the soldiers who are working hard to serve Your Majesty, and 500 carts of gold leaf ornaments for the needs of your country on the way back, and 10,000 war horses to make up for the defects of your army's war horses."
"Very good, I am very satisfied with your country's compensation to our country, since you are here, then your country must have the will to negotiate peace, however, my ugly words have to be said in the front, in the future, regardless of your country, for any reason to offend our country, I can tolerate it, but my iron horseman cannot tolerate it."
"Yes, yes, yes, please rest assured that Emperor Song will never offend your country again."
"Okay, since the talk is over, then I won't keep you, Lu Aiqing, take me to see you off."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Li, please." Lu Junyi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please to Lee Jae-moon
"Then His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, the minister has retired." Lee Jae-wen said very flatteringly
"The prime minister walks slowly, and I will not be far away." When I saw Li Zaiwen coming out of the big tent, I called Chu Luli and said to him, "Arrange a few soldiers, pretend to be attacked by the Western Xia army, and come in from the main gate of the camp, and go and arrange it quickly."
"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will definitely let Li Zaiwen see it really." Chu Luli smiled evilly and took the order
"General Lu, please stay, and the next official will go back," Li Zaiwen said to Lu Junyi
"Prime Minister, please." Lu Junyi replied with a salute
"Vice-marshal, look, our soldiers are coming," Lu Junyi's personal soldier said to him
Lu Junyi just looked back to see that the knight had already walked in front of him, and the knight on the horse then fell off the horse, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured
"How are you, how can you be so badly injured." Lu Junyi immediately picked up the knight and asked anxiously
"General, the army of Western Xia has raided our thousand-man team, and I am the only one left." As he spoke, a mouthful of blood spurted out
"Prime Minister, it seems that you can't leave for the time being." Lu Junyi glanced at Li Zaiwen fiercely, and then said to his soldiers, "On behalf of the Prime Minister, I will go to see Your Majesty." ”
"Hey, hey, General Lu, General Lu, it's none of my business, it's really none of my business, General Lu ......" The unlucky Li Zaiwen was carried back by the soldiers again
Seeing Lee Jae-moon who was brought back, I knew that it was done, this beauty in my heart, hehe, I want me to retire from the army, there are no windows, let alone doors, of course, I have to pretend that I don't know how it will be
"Huh? Master Lee? Why are you back again, why are you still like this? "My current acting skills are top-notch in Hollywood, alas, why didn't I think about Hollywood development in my previous life
"Your Majesty, Li Zaiwen is here to pretend to negotiate with our country, the purpose of which is to buy time for their Western Xia army, they have already attacked a thousand-man squad of our army's vanguard army, and only one soldier of our army has returned alive."
"What? Master Li, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation. My brow furrowed, and the anger in my eyes seemed to erupt, but I was pretending to be hehe
