Chapter 106: Double Happiness Comes to the Door

This time he led the troops to attack the Li Dynasty, and in Zhao Xiaoxi's view, avenging the soldiers and civilians who died in Yongzhou was also one of the reasons for the attack. So how to avenge the death of the soldiers and civilians? It was undoubtedly killed, the general who led the army back then.

Although Zhao Xiaoxi has never seen it, this general is known as the god of war by Li Chao. But with the understanding of Li Changjie, Zhao Xiaoxi also suddenly remembered that his deeds in later generations have always been the heroes of the people in the land of the Li Dynasty.

In order to erase this kind of meritorious general established with the flesh and blood of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xiaoxi must kill him. In many cases, occupation and domination cannot be physically erased, but must also be spiritually destroyed.

But I suddenly heard that this veteran of the Li Dynasty, who was a must-kill man, was actually very self-defeating. Zhao Xiaoxi was somewhat surprised, and his first reaction was that this guy was dead, and he could not escape the great crime of punishing the nine clans.

When he was in Yongzhou, he promised the people of Yongzhou to avenge the soldiers and civilians who died that year. also promised that the current commander of the Yongzhou Army would give him a chance to take revenge. He can't be untrustworthy!

Seeing that Li Qiande, the king of Dayue, pleaded, Zhao Xiaoxi said a little coldly: "King Dayue, don't think that this king really doesn't dare to kill you." The killing that Li Changjie committed in Yongzhou back then, could it have been solved as soon as he died?

This king can tell you clearly that before the war, this king went to Yongzhou and said it to Su Zhizhou, who lived and died with Yongzhou City back then. This king will definitely avenge him, and personally take Li Changjie's head to worship his heroic spirit.

Do you want to make this king lose his trust? If you really think that this king should not punish him all over the house, then that's fine. How many people died in Yongzhou City back then, and how many people this king killed in Thang Long City today, what do you think? ”

At present, Li Changjie is simply doing so, knowing that he will not escape death. directly wiped his neck and committed suicide. But Zhao Xiaoxi knows that Li Changjie also has a family. Even if Li Changjie himself is an incomplete person, he is no different from these eunuchs in the imperial city.

In the face of Zhao Xiaoxi's anger, Li Gande didn't know how to refute. In that war, Li Changjie did show the prestige of the Li Dynasty, but he was still young at that time. A lot of things are not known.

It's just that over the years, he has been able to stabilize the position of the emperor, and it is inseparable from the supervision of veterans like Li Changjie. This old minister who was crowned Taibao back then is indeed a loyal minister of the Li Dynasty!

Li Qiande, who knelt on the ground and was silent for a while, could only say helplessly in the end: "Lord Wang, so long has passed since the events of the past. It is said that people die like lights going out, and General Li is dead. Can't the prince forgive him once? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxi sneered: "Forgiveness? Are you embarrassed to let this king say these two words? Why didn't he know back then, forgive the people of Yongcheng who died innocently and tragically under the sword soldiers? ”

At this time, many people of the Li Dynasty knelt down. In the face of these people's pleas, Zhao Xiaoxi said very persistently: "Previously, you pleaded for the king of Dayue, for the sake of him being the king of a country, this king can give forgiveness."

But for this matter, this king must give an explanation to the people of Yongzhou. Give an explanation to the souls who died in vain. Ask yourselves, if the blood of this king is to ascend to Dragon City today. How will your children and grandchildren feel?

Although decades have passed since this incident, the surviving Yongzhou people remember this hatred. In the future, you will also be the people under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty. Do you want to be humiliated and hated by the people of Yongzhou? ”

Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's resolute expression, many people thought about it and felt that Zhao Xiaoxi had not done anything wrong. If Zhao Hyo-seok really kills today. Then their children and grandchildren will only be afraid that they will always remember this hatred.

Just when the atmosphere suddenly became tense again, a fast horse suddenly galloped quickly. The knight on the horse, when he looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, looked excited. Let everyone know that there is something to reciprocate.

Waiting for the knight to fall off his horse in front of Zhao Xiaoxi, he knelt down at a trott of a few steps and said: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, I received the New South City Express earlier." Princess Mu successfully gave birth to a son, and the mother and son were safe. The old princess instructed you to return home as soon as possible! ”

Hearing that Mu Wanqing gave birth to a son for herself, Zhao Xiaoxi's heart shook slightly. Laughing: "Good! Good! This king can be described as a double happiness today, fortunately for you! The king knows about this and sends a message to Xinnancheng, and the king will rush back as soon as possible. ”

As Zhao Xiaoxi finished saying this, Zhao Da and other Song army soldiers immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!" ”

This thunderous congratulatory voice made Zhao Hyo-seok really enjoy the feeling of being a father for the first time. At the same time, he also felt that this might be an opportunity given by God to pray for his son.

Looking at Li Qiande and the others, who were still waiting for the verdict to be announced, Zhao Xiaoxi eased his emotions a little and said: "King Dayue, you should really be glad that this king also heard the news of the child's safe birth at this moment.

Don't say that this king didn't give you a chance, the Li family is full of this king, and this king can be pardoned. However, the members of the Li family must go to the Yongzhou Zhongyong Temple to kneel down and apologize to Su Zhizhou and the souls of Yongzhou on behalf of Li Changjie.

If you feel that you won't even kneel down and apologize, then don't blame this king for not giving you a chance. When the time comes, the Li family will be beheaded and sent to Yongzhou City to pay tribute to the dead. Now, give the king an answer. ”

Kneeling down to apologize is undoubtedly much easier than punishing the Nine Clans. Although doing so is a bit humiliating to Li Changjie. But without waiting for Li Gande to reply, Li Changjie's nephew agreed to this condition.

Before Li Changjie killed himself, he had an explanation to the people of the family, and everything was to preserve the family bloodline. Even the royal family endured humiliation, and the Li family, as a courtier, why did they hesitate to kneel down and apologize?

Seeing that the people of the Li family took the initiative to kneel down to apologize for the deceased, Li Gande, as the monarch, also felt relieved. As far as he is concerned, all he has to do is to show his intention to preserve his loyal subjects at the end.

Getting the answer he wanted, Zhao Hyo-seok rode into Thang Long City under the escort of the royal palace guards and in front of the soldiers and civilians of the Li Dynasty. With his entry into Thang Long City, it also meant that the Li Dynasty disappeared to the southwestern border.

And the troops that entered the city before him had already begun to receive the treasury of the Li Dynasty. Looking at the collected material wealth, Zhao Xiaoxi also felt that the battle that took nearly a year to prepare finally did not suffer losses and made a lot of money.

Along the way, Zhao Xiaoxi almost swept away all the connotations of the Li Dynasty. But he also knew that this was only the first step in the occupation of the Li Dynasty. Next, it is a relatively long process to let the people of the Li Dynasty forget the Li Dynasty.

Fortunately, in these years, although the Li Dynasty was disrespectful to the Great Song Dynasty, it respected the Central Plains culture. This means that the stationing of Zhao Xiaoxi and others, in a sense, also reduces many unnecessary things.

It's just a matter of dealing with the aftermath, and Zhao Xiaoxi didn't get too involved in it. After Zhu Datong officially entered Thang Long City and served as the capital of Annan Road, which was renamed Annan City, Zhao Xiaoxi set off and left.

In order to ensure the stability of the situation, in order to see his son as soon as possible, there is also Mu Wanqing, who is fortunate. He didn't even wait for Duan Yu, and directly returned to Xinnan City by boat. And the affairs of the Li Dynasty were handed over to Zhu Datong and Zhao Da.

One of them is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of the people, but they also cooperate tacitly. As for Zhao Xiaoxi, he is completely in charge. Just tell the two of them about some things that need to be paid attention to, as well as what needs to be done next.

In addition, Zhao Xiaoxi did not forget, and wrote to Zhao Xu in Bianliang City to inform him of the fall of the Li Dynasty. As for what officials the imperial court will send over to serve next, Zhao Xiaoxi also feels that it doesn't matter.

For him, even if the imperial court sends officials, the governor of Annan Road must be served by Zhu Datong. In addition, the defenders of the cities on Annan Road were all from his Qiongzhou Army.

The officials sent by the imperial court, if they are obedient, Zhao Xiaoxi will naturally give them a chance to display their talents. If they are disobedient, Zhao Xiaoxi has a way to let them get out of Annan Road obediently.

This war, to put it bluntly, was the decision of the Qiongzhou Palace. The court has the most, and it can get a reputation. The actual benefits, Zhao Xiaoxi will definitely not give up.

Moreover, after completing the conquest of the Li Dynasty, he still had a big thing to do. That is the preparation for the attack on Goryeo, and although this battle is scheduled for next year, it is also necessary to start preparations.

Fortunately, this time, tens of thousands of land elite soldiers were trained for him, and Zhao Xiaoxi felt that he had more confidence in conquering Goryeo. It's just that Zhao Xiaoxi knows in his heart that once he sends troops to Goryeo, the Liao State will definitely participate in the war.

It's just that before the army sent to Goryeo, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that he had to find a way to get the military and political power of the Liaodong provinces opposite Goryeo. In addition, the cavalry lurking in the territory of the Liao State will also begin to gather in the imperial court.

Only by letting the Liao State know the consequences of sending troops to Goryeo can it be possible to let them know. This kind of thing can't be interfered with, otherwise the Liao State will not end well. But he knew that this time he asked for great power from the military and political officials, and he was afraid that Zhao Xu would not agree.

But whether he agrees or not, he will send troops to recruit in Goryeo. First, it is the thing he promised Kim Yuna, and he must say and do things. Second, the kingdom of Goryeo must also be included in the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

For him, there was only one empire in the East in the future, and that was the Great Song Dynasty, which was led by him. Whether it is Goryeo, or the later Liao, Tufan, and Western Xia, he will conquer them one by one.

When the revival of the nation and the state is completed, he will begin to conquer abroad. In his lifetime, let the people of the Great Song Dynasty appear all over the world. He wants to completely let Europe and the United States, the future powers, enter the dust of history.

At this time, the West was not as diverse as later generations, and many places were still barren. But Zhao Xiaoxi, who came from later generations, knew that those places were also rich in resources. For the sake of future generations, he needs to do these things well.

The current annexation of the Li Dynasty was only the first step in his plan. And with this beginning, it was officially announced that his steps to conquer the Quartet began. As for whether the wish can be realized, it will only be left to time to test. (To be continued......)
