Chapter 298: The Dark Tide is surging
When Zong Zan appeared in front of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion with a generous gift, this powerful minister, who was trusted by the Western Xia Lord, was scolded by the Western Xia Lord for the first time. Don't look at the dead are a bunch of horse bandits, but these are the reserve army of the Iron Harriers!
In last year's battle of Lanzhou, Zhao Xiaoxi pit an iron harrier on the glacier, which can be said to have made Xixia hurt his muscles and bones. Later, the Liao State and the Tibetans launched a winter offensive when they saw the opportunity, and the Iron Harrier Army, the strongest army that bullied Western Xia, was gone.
If it weren't for the existence of such a reserve army of horse bandits, the lord of the Western Xia State urgently transferred elites from these reserve armies to reorganize the Iron Harrier Army. Let the cavalry of the two countries that attacked and harass the Western Xia suffer a loss, and whether there is Western Xia or not is another matter at the moment.
Although the current Iron Harrier is fully staffed, its combat effectiveness is undoubtedly much lower than that of the lost batch. This meant that in order to rebuild the Iron Harrier Army, Western Xia had to replenish a steady stream of reserve troops.
Now that the two high-quality reserve horse bandit groups are gone, it will inevitably affect the construction of the Iron Harrier Army, how can the Western Xia lord not be angry. This is a matter of whether the Li family dynasty is stable or not, and it is already considered the king's favor if he did not let the left minister lose his head.
Knowing that Zongzan came to visit, Aksu, the left prime minister who was drinking tea to extinguish the fire, immediately smashed the teacup on the head of the gatehouse. yelled: "He still dares to come? Let the people in the house, kick him out, I don't want to see him. Let him! ”
The porter, whose head was smashed and bleeding, was about to exit, but the butler standing next to him said, "Slow, my lord, it's better to let Zong Zan in first and listen to what he has to say." After all, our family's business still needs support from Tibet! ”
It is clear that this head of the family is extremely angry and has lost his proportions, but as the housekeeper of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, he behaves more rationally. Now that the matter has come out, it will not help to pursue responsibility, and we should find a way to reduce the loss.
When Aksu, the left minister, heard the housekeeper say this, he also realized that there was a bit of a gaffe. I could only say with a cold face: "Forget it, let him get in." I'd like to see what he can say. caused the old man to be scolded in front of the monarch and was embarrassed and thrown home. ”
In fact, being scolded by the lord of Western Xia, Aksu felt that he could understand. After all, it was the monarch who controlled the life and death of Western Xia. What made him angry the most. The ministers who opposed him fell into ridicule of him in that situation.
As Zong Zan came to apologize with a generous gift, Murong Fu, who was kicked out of the country guest station, also felt a sense of humiliation. This plan, in his opinion, is foolproof. But why did it happen?
Just when Murong Fu was puzzled, the public governance cadres who followed him sent the secret hall to investigate the situation. Looking at the situation submitted by the secret hall, Murong Fu looked at the name, and his face became more and more hideous.
He will end up in today's situation, Murong Fu feels that it is all thanks to Zhao Xiaoxi. This young man who appeared out of thin air. seems to be born to be his sworn enemy, first exposing his disguise in Western Xia, and then forcing his family to ruin.
If he was still the head of the Gusu Murong family at this moment, the Tubo prince would not dare to humiliate him like this. The new hatred and the old hatred made Murong Fu really hate Zhao Xiaoxi. But the information sent here has Zhao Xiaoxi's news on it.
Pinching the secret report in his hand tightly, Murong Fu said with a gloomy face: "The people of the secret hall, haven't they investigated his true identity until now?" I don't believe it. He's really just a simple charlatan. ”
Regarding Murong Fu's intuition, Gongzhi also said solemnly: "Childe." In this situation, we should plan ahead. The brothers in the Central Plains sent a secret report that the Great Song Dynasty had sent a sea fishing document to arrest us.
Except for our brothers who were urgently transferred, the other brothers of Zhuangzi's training were all beheaded by the imperial court officials and soldiers for the crime of treason. The base camp in Jiangnan was even cleared by the imperial court.
The only good point. It is because of our timely notification that the dark camps in Qingzhou, Mizhou and other places have maintained a certain strength. At present, according to the orders of the princess, they have all moved to the direction of Liao to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court.
Childe, in fact, there is a saying. My subordinates have wanted to talk about it for a long time. The most important thing for us at the moment is to find a place to recuperate and wait for a comeback. Moreover, the brothers retreated to Daliao, and Gongzi still needed to be the town host.
In the eyes of his subordinates, the abacus of Xixia's expedition this time will not have any good results. It's going to be very dangerous here, so it's better for Childe to leave early. As for dealing with Zhao Yun, it is good for Gongzi to be responsible for his subordinates. ”
As a public ruler who was lucky enough to pick up a life, he has always wanted to take advantage of the situation and other countries do not agree with it. In these years, no one will offend a Central Plains dynasty for the sake of a descendant of the royal family of a dead country. If he wants to achieve great things, all Murong Fu can do is endure.
Now that the Central Plains is not suitable for Murong Fu's development, then go to Fanbang to toss. With the power preserved here in his hand, as long as Murong Furen endures, he may not have a chance to make a comeback.
Moreover, now that the Great Liao is in turmoil, the Jurchen people have begun to rise, and the Liao State will also have a storm in the future. Gongsun Kang's suggestion to Murong Fu was to enter the Tongzhou area for development and accumulate strength to sit back and watch the chaos in the world.
It's a pity that Murong Fu thought about the law all the way and wanted to find Zhao Xiaoxi to take revenge. Even if he can't find Zhao Xiaoxi, the main master, Murong Fu has to let him feel the pain of losing his best friend, so he can focus on Duan Yu, Zhao Xiaoxi's righteous eldest brother.
Listening to Gongzhi's painstaking persuasion, Murong Fu also found that his heart seemed to be really messed up. The calmness he had in the past seemed to be far away from him after the great change in Shaolin. Now being scolded by Zong Zan has made him sober up a little.
understands that there are not many people he can rely on at the moment, and the four major owners are left with Gongzhi and Deng Baichuan. On the way to Western Xia, in order to ensure the smooth transfer of domestic forces, Murong Fu sent Deng Baichuan out.
At present, there are only one person around him who is worthy of support, and it seems that only Gongzhi is left. This kind of bitter fruit of betrayal and separation made Murong Fu have to admit the reality, and now he is indeed a lost dog.
Murong Fu, who took a deep breath, quickly said, "Gongzhi, then do you think about it, how to deal with this Zhao Yun?" ”
Gongzhi shook his head and said, "Childe, how to deal with Zhao Yun, I haven't thought of a foolproof plan yet. But I promise, this time Xixia recruits horses, and I will definitely spoil his affairs. Let him make a feud with the prince of Fanbang, and finally kill him with a knife to leave him here.
In addition, I transferred the dead soldiers in Jiangnan, and now there are thirty-eight dead soldiers on their way to Western Xia. As soon as I find an opportunity, I will give him a fatal blow. This time we are in the dark, and he is in the light, so I don't have to worry about finding a chance to deal with him. ”
As a strategist by Murong Fu's side, Gongzhi also hated Zhao Xiaoxi very much. From the news received, his Chixia Village was also smashed by the official army. His relatives were also arrested for participating in the rebellion, and it must be only a matter of time before they are beheaded.
From the time he joined the Murong family, Gongzhi was aware of this crisis. But he never imagined that this day would come so soon. In order to preserve the strength of the Murong family, he was too late to save his family members.
Looking at Gongzhi gritting his teeth, Murong Fu also knew that this subordinate was afraid that he was also worried about the safety of those relatives. There is almost no chance of surviving such a big crime as rebellion.
understands that at this moment, he is no longer responsible for reviving Dayan, and the family feud of these henchmen. Murong Fu finally felt that maybe he should change his lifestyle and really learn how to taste his courage on his back.
Thinking of this, Murong Fu quickly said, "Gongzhi, I promise you." In the future, if I can successfully restore the country, I will definitely kill all the people of the Zhao family's royal family to avenge you. I'll leave it to you here, and I'll leave for Tongzhou immediately. ”
Hearing Murong Fu say this, Gongzhi Yan also seemed very happy. This means that the familiar son has finally reappeared. As long as Murong Fu can maintain a calm mind, there may still be a chance to return to the country.
For example, the situation of the public rule has also been analyzed, and with the continuous strengthening of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, the battle to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun will be carried out sooner or later. As long as the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao were at war, the other states would be ready to move at all.
At that time, as long as Murong Fu grasps the opportunity, he may be able to fight his way out of this chaos. Even if it can't build a country for the time being, it can have a stable development base, and it can also have the opportunity to compete in the world.
didn't know that Zhao Xiaoxi, who won a battle and woke up Murong Fu. At this moment, he is taking Duan Yu and appearing on the official road of Xingqing Mansion. According to this journey, you can live in the Western Xia royal city at night.
With Duan Yu, who was the closest to the distance, it was not far from Xingqing Mansion, and the water in the Xixia Royal City began to become muddy. This time, the lord of the Western Xia country recruited sons-in-law, in addition to inviting the princes of various countries, the heirs of some tribal leaders in their own country were also eligible to participate.
It's just that those who know the inside story of this recruitment know that the heirs of these tribal leaders have very few opportunities to hold beauties. Their participation in the recruitment is more to demonstrate the skills of the younger generation in Western Xia.
Of course, there are no absolutes, and no one dares to guarantee them. It is not impossible for the lord of Western Xia and the princess of Yinchuan to be married to meet one of them. In any case, the young people who are eligible to participate are not from ordinary backgrounds.
It is this kind of unresolved marriage event that has made the Western Xia courtiers busy recently. Young people in their home country or elsewhere who wish to profit from this marriage will need to seek their support. After all, the temptation thrown out is too sweet.
Compared with the princes of various countries who came to apply, they only knew that this Yinchuan princess was beautiful and fragrant. But the children of Xixia Guixun who have seen her are treated as goddesses in their hearts. Before the end of the day, many important ministers of Western Xia sought marriage for their children and grandchildren.
It's a pity that this Yinchuan princess is the treasure of the lord of the country and the beloved grandson of the Empress Dowager of Western Xia. If you want to climb up to this relative, as a courtier, you still lack weight. so that her marriage was delayed until the order.
If it weren't for the difficulties in Western Xia this time, the lord of Western Xia would have planned such a move to resolve the danger he was currently facing. And with the consent of the queen mother, who regards the princess as a treasure, this marriage may not be possible! (To be continued......)
