In the heart of the lake in the Imperial Garden, above this exquisite painting boat, the Wangjing Pavilion on the second floor is transparent on all sides, and there are only two people on it: Liang Luoyao, the queen of Western Xia, and the king who is sitting calmly.

Liang Luoyao induced in every possible way, but Wang Fang still had the same attitude towards Li Liangzuo, no matter what you say, I won't climb the pole.

The tone and expression of the king made Liang Luoyao gasp, it seems that this king is not soft, Liang Luoyao put away his pitiful expression, and said bluntly: "Wang Gongzi, you are only a four-grade squire in the Song Kingdom now, but if you are willing to help me take charge of Western Xia, I will deal with the old grudge between you and Liang Yi burying the prime minister." ”

In Wang Fang's heart, if it is just a comparison between Li Liangzuo and Liang Luoyao, Wang Fang is more inclined to Li Liangzuo, he despises Liang Luoyao's small actions very much from the heart, this woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion, if she is entangled with her, it will be nothing more than a faster death.

Wang sneered: "It seems that the queen supports the emperor's personal conquest." ”

Liang Luoyao thought that Wang was enlightened, and said with a smile: "Of course I support, doesn't Wang Shilang think this is a good 'opportunity'." She deliberately said the word opportunity a little heavier, which can be understood as an opportunity to send troops to Jiaoluo, of course, if Wang Bian is smart enough, he will naturally understand that Li Liangzuo will be an empty opportunity in Xingqing Mansion after his personal conquest.

Wang next to laughed, you Liang Luoyao is next to me who is the king, "The queen is really a smart person, if she takes this opportunity to send Xixia to the Song Kingdom, she can not only return to the Song Kingdom to teach her son with peace of mind, but also protect her own safety." ”

Liang Luoyao pointed to the king, her face was pale with anger, and her whole body trembled slightly, is her chance to talk about the Xixia and give it to the Song Kingdom, I said this for a long time, this king is simply a rotten wood lump that is hard and soft and does not eat, she held back for a long time and said: "You retreat." ”

Wang thanked Liang Luoyao, turned around and retreated from the first floor of the painting boat, standing on the bow of the painting boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and when the painting boat docked, he did not look back and strode away from the imperial garden, leaving only Liang Luoyao sitting on the second floor of the painting boat and looking at his back in a daze.

Wang Bei returned to the palace and ordered Zhang Ping to disguise himself as a Western Xia common man and go to find Wu Su; wrote another letter and asked Zhi Kejun to send it to Manba's Mansion, and when the two of them came back, Wang Bian told Wu Su to pay attention to Yi Weisi's instructions, and go to Manchang at a critical moment, as long as he listened to his words to ensure that Wu Su would be prosperous in the future, Wu Su listened to Wang Bei's instructions and took the silver two in his heart.

Zhi Kejun came back and asked Wang Pan what he was going to do next, and Wang said with a smile: "Summer vacation in Western Xia." ”

Three days later, the emperor of Western Xia, Li Liangzuo, personally led a team to attack Jiaoluo, the news quickly spread to the Song Kingdom, the crown prince Zhao Shu heard this, and hurriedly convened his henchmen to discuss, he decided to ask the imperial court to take advantage of the emptiness of the Western Xia to send troops to attack the Western Xia,

Zhao Shu's recital was played to the imperial court, but as soon as something arrived at the imperial court of the Song Dynasty, it immediately became a revolving meeting of the civil ministers, and the general was the first to oppose it, he felt that the Western Xia sent troops to the virtual and unknown reality, the border was just peaceful, and the envoys sent by the imperial court to trade were nameless.

Zhao Shu looked at Han Qi, at the beginning, Han Qi was shouting to fight Xixia, but now that the opportunity has come, Han Qi is not on his side, as Han Qi's prime minister, it must be convincing,

After all, Han Qi has been the prime minister for many years, and it is true that he has selfish intentions to keep the position of prime minister, but after all, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and more often he will consider it from the perspective of the interests of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After the two quarreled, Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang spoke, and the old man stroked a few sparse beards and said: "None of us will help, Western Xia and Jiaoguoluo are mutually balanced, no matter who strengthens the border, it will not benefit our country, and if Western Xia is beaten, the Song State will be sandwiched between Jiaoguoluo and Liao, which may not be a good thing for our country." ”

Renzong nodded this time, Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang said that he was thinking about himself, he comforted the ministers and said: "Small disputes in neighboring countries, just look at it, not to mention that there are envoys in our country who are still in the summer realm, and you can't go back on your word" Renzong said to retreat from the court,

The crown prince Zhao Shu returned to the mansion, the inexplicable evil fire in his heart, he kicked the chair and smashed the cup could not relieve the depression in his heart, next to the king, next to the king, why did Renzong pay more attention to this king than to his own prince, protect Di Qing, burn the boat, beat the ministers, the king who does not eat soft and hard, sooner or later it is a big trouble, you kid wait, wait until one day I will be in charge, I will make you look good,

Far away in the Western Xia, he didn't know that the prince was more and more resentful because of Renzong's protection of himself, he arranged for Zhi Kejun and Zhang Ping to go to the street every day to inquire about some news, and the king was in the mansion to read and write, or to meet the Song people in the Western Xia, and then he was bored to go to the Fan Han Academy, and he was not idle to chant poems and play chess every day.

Wang next to the summer in Xingqing Mansion leisurely, half a month later Li Liangzuo's troops arrived in Weizhou, the pioneer of the first pioneer Manba suddenly stopped stationing, and ordered to build a huge castle next to Weizhou,

The news quickly spread back to Xingqing Mansion, this day Zhang Ping came back from the street, pushed open the door and saw Wang next to the Wang and Zhi Kejun shaking the fan, while playing chess and chatting, he had just come back from outside, in the middle of July in the middle of summer, he was sweating, Zhang Ping wiped the sweat, and drank a few sips of white water, feeling a little better in the summer, so he squatted next to the king and Zhe Kejun's chessboard and said with a smile: "Brother Zhe, what kind of letter did you send to General Manba that day." ”

Zhi Kejun looked at the chessboard and asked, "What, is there any news ahead?" ”

Zhang Ping dragged a low stool and sat down, took a big pu fan and flapped and fanned it, he put down his fan next to the king, this flat shoulder, big waist and round waist, fanning a fan with the wind swishing,

Zhang Ping said in general, smiling, his voice was high-pitched and hearty: "Haha, I heard that the emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty has run out of generals, and the troops suddenly stopped, this is not a war, first build a big castle, it is said that it is still hundreds of miles away from the front, and the emperor of the Western Xia should be the vanguard himself." ”

Zhi Kejun picked up a particle, looked left and right and didn't know where to put it, he put down the chess piece and said: "Wang Shilang, no matter how you move this game of chess, you will lose." ”

With the victory in his hands, Wang pointed to the back of Zhi Kejun and said, "If you have a chess guard here, you may not be defeated." ”

Zhang Ping was a little anxious: "Wang Shilang, Brother Zhe, did you hear what I said?" ”

Zhi Kejun looked at Wang Ping, who was admiring his good game of chess, he looked at Zhang Ping again and patted Zhang Ping on the shoulder: "What the squire said to me, did you hear it?" ”

Zhang Ping was confused by what Zhi Kejun said, he shook his head, Wang Pan and Zhi Kejun laughed together when they saw his embarrassment, Wang Pan saw that Manba really chose the place to retreat according to what he said to prepare for defense in advance, and he was very proud in his heart,

Zhang Ping had already thrown himself to the ground with the five bodies that Wang admired next to him, which would make him a little bit understood, as if what they said had something to do with what he asked, so he hurriedly asked for advice: "Wang Shilang, tell me quickly, what do you think about the attack on Jiaoluo in Western Xia, is it that Li Liangzuo will be defeated this time." ”

Don't look at Wang Bei's reluctance to tell Liang Luoyao, it doesn't matter if he talks about it to Zhi Kejun and Zhang Ping, he said with a smile: "Jiao Guluo is brave and strategic, with 700,000 troops, Li Liangzuo only led 100,000 troops this time, and his strength is incomparable; Jiaoguoluo's subordinates are all elite Tubo troops and those who have returned to Tufan after submitting to Western Xia, and they are familiar with the art of war and tactics of Western Xia, which Li Liangzuo is even weaker; Then there is the horn of Luo, who occupies the right time and place, and Li Liangzuo is a long journey; There are only thrills and no surprises in this expedition. ”

Zhang Ping sighed, and Zhi Kejun followed the king's words and asked: "I know that the battle between Xixia and Jiaoluo has never been won, haha"

Zhang Ping's eyes lit up: "Wang Shilang, don't patronize and play chess, big brother, and tell me about it." ”

Wang Bian said while playing chess: "When Li Yuanhao was in power, he was defeated by Jiao Guluo several times, and one of them was the most funny. ”

Zhang Ping listened to the king and began to speak, and hurriedly moved his body to the side of the king, flattering as if flashing a fan, the king smiled and said: "That time Yuan Hao led the army to conquer Hehuang, the Western Xia army was brave and good at fighting, and the morale of the river was just booming, so Jiao Guluo ordered to stick to the Qingtang Dynasty and not to engage the enemy army, so as to drag down the Western Xia army, in addition, he sent people to listen to the reality of the Western Xia army, and learned that when the Western Xia army crossed the Zongge River (Huangshui), the flag was planted to indicate that the water was shallow, and you guess what Jiao Guluo did. ”

Zhang Ping didn't think about it and said: "If it's me, hum, oh, I'll pull out all the flags in the water." ”

When Zhi Kejun heard Zhang Ping say this, he asked rhetorically: "Then if the Western Xia army sees that there is no banner and simply fights to die and survive, this battle will be difficult to fight." ”

Zhang Ping patted Zhe Kejun: "Brother Zhe, listen to what Wang Shilang has to say." ”

Wang looked at Zhang Ping's anxious appearance, he said with a smile: "At that time, Jiaoguo Luo secretly sent people to move the flag to the deepest part of the Zongge River, when the two armies fought, the elite Tubo army led by the two armies rushed to the exhausted Western Xia army, the Western Xia army was suddenly scattered, and fled back in a hurry, and the result was to cross the river according to the place where the flag was planted. ”

Zhang Ping laughed and said, "It's so happy." Zhi Kejun hurriedly signaled: "Be quiet, let's be in Western Xia." ”

Zhang Ping hurriedly shut up and stood up and walked outside the door to look, and no one turned around in private and whispered back: "Gongzi is like a god, let's wait for the good news of the defeat of the Western Xia army." After saying that, he smiled,

The king counted the days and said: "In two or three days, there will probably be news from the front line, and the two of you will listen more, and the time for Wu Su to make meritorious contributions will come soon." ”

Wang Fang has already seen it: the weakness of this trip to Western Xia is that there are no people in the court, the news from the upper echelons is too slow, Li Liangzuo is young and impulsive, and the front line cannot take advantage; Now the rear is also very weak, Liang Luoyao has shown that she is ready to move, if she dares to move, Wu Su should show her strength in front of Li Liangzuo and become the first person in the Western Xia Dynasty to be installed next to the king.
