Chapter 63: Liaoxia Alliance

"Definitely! Definitely! Wang Qiu hurriedly denied it, his habit of Li Yuanhao is clear, otherwise he will stay by his side for a long time, this is the goods of the donkey, who dares to blow up the cliff will not end well.

Li Yuanhao: "Then what are you thinking about?" ”

Wang Qiu: "Back to the emperor, the minister is thinking, we are going to sing a big play, is there still a lack of a corner?" ”

Li Yuanhao: "Horn? What horns? ”

Before Wang Qiu could speak, Zhang Yuan replied first: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Wang should be talking about Liao, right?" Some time ago, didn't the emperor ask your Lord Wang to be in charge of the alliance with the Liao State, with Lord Wang's ability, the talks must have gone well! I just don't know how it turned out. ”

Wang Qiu was not moved by his provocation, and still said to Li Yuanhao with an indifferent face: "Your Majesty, that's what the minister meant. Our Great Xia army has been fighting all year round, and its combat power is by no means comparable to those lazy Song troops. But we also have to admit one thing, that is, the population and resources of the Song State far exceed that of our Great Xia, even if we destroy the five or six hundred thousand Song troops on the other side of Hengshan, it won't take long for them to pull up a large army. Besides, there are a lot of new and old hatreds between the Liao State and the Song State, why don't we play with them? ”

Li Yuanhao: "Wang Qing's idea sounds pretty good, what do you think of this proposal?" Let's hear it. ”

Wu Hao also stood up to help his brother Zhang Yuan and mocked: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Lord Wang's idea is good, it seems that some water is far away and can't quench his thirst!" The Song army is now approaching the border of our Great Xia, not to mention that the Liao Emperor has not yet agreed to the final alliance, even if he agrees now, it will be too late! ”

Wang Qiu has not been in vain over the years, and has also pulled half of Li Yuanhao's think tank group to his side, except for Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jiang, and Zhang Wenxian, the three Zhang Yuan's own families, the rest of Yang Kuo, Xu Minzong, and Wei Mingshouquan, the party members, are all with Wang Qiu.

When Wei Ming Shouquan saw that Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao intended to target Wang Qiu, he quit and shouted at Wu Hao: "Didn't I hear that you Han people are very smart? Why can't Lord Wu's brain turn around! As long as we get the matter of the alliance with the Liao State to the ears of the Emperor of the Song State, do you think that the Song State will dare to argue with us? ”

"You ......"

Wu Hao pointed at Wei Ming, but he didn't know how to fight back. For Mamoru Akina, there are all racial and personal attacks. Wu Hao was naturally extremely unhappy, but he didn't want to offend him, a legitimate party member, because of this matter, after all, this territory was still the territory of other party members. Don't look at the fact that Li Yuanhao has given preferential treatment to a few of them now, and he is both an official and a knight. Even the top official positions such as Taishi, Zhongshu Ling, and Shang Shuling were given to them, but if they pondered it a little, they would find that Li Yuanhao gave them all thankless positions, and the real power departments were all dragged in his own hands, and this play had to fight with Zhao Zhen.

Although Li Yuanhao said that his temper was not very good. But to be able to become a generation of monarchs, the cliff is not a fool, he naturally knows the contradictions between his subordinates, and he is happy to see them fight on weekdays. But now is a critical period, to be unanimous with the outside world, he has to stand up and pretend to scold his clansmen: "Shouquan speaks well, Wu Qing is also for our good Xia!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The minister's words are inappropriate. Wei Ming Shouquan gave Li Yuanhao a lot of face, and immediately apologized.

Li Yuanhao reassured Wu Hao again: "His temper is like this, Wu Qing don't take it to heart!" ”

Wu Hao: "The minister doesn't dare! ”

Li Yuanhao: "That's good! Let's get down to business. I thought that Wang Qing's idea still had to be considered. Although the relationship between our Liaoxia has not yet been determined, I believe that at the moment, as long as the Liao Emperor is not a fool, he should know how to choose. ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Zhang Yuan slapped a sycophant, and said according to Li Yuanhao's meaning: "The minister thinks that it is very important to fight for the Liao to resist the Song Dynasty at the moment, and a minister should be sent to the Liao State to discuss this matter, even if we have to fight the Song State, then we have to pull the Liao State into the water!" ”

Li Yuanhao asked: "Then who does Zhang Aiqing think is more appropriate?" ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at Wang Qiu, smiled and said to Li Yuanhao: "Back to the emperor, Lord Wang has always been in charge of external affairs, and he has a lot of relations in Song and Liao. The minister thought that it was only appropriate for Lord Wang to go. ”

Li Yuanhao asked Wang Qiu again: "Wang Aiqing, I don't know what you think?" ”

"But by the emperor's orders!" Wang Qiu bowed deeply to Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao: "Okay! I worked hard for Wang Aiqing to go to the Liao State for a while, and strive to reach an agreement with the Liao State, and it was best to let them send troops on the Song-Liao border to respond. Of course. I can't put all my hopes on Liao, and we have to prepare for war ourselves. In this way, Zhang Aiqing went to Youzhou first to take charge of the front-line command, according to the deployment task of the front line of Hengshan, and mobilized the capture army and 100,000 tribal soldiers to assemble at the border. I'll finish the business, and then I'll lead the Central Guard to join you. Let's teach Song Guo a good lesson together! ”

"Obey the order!" Zhang Yuan happily accepted this task, and glanced at Wu Hao without a trace, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Yuanhao waved his hand heroically: "It's all gone, what should you do, why do you go, organize the army as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Wang Qiu left with everyone, he quietly returned to Li Yuanhao's bedroom, but he didn't expect that after such a short while, Li Yuanhao played with his beauty again, and his interest was quite high, Wang Qiu had to wait in the silence......

Li Yuanhao finally finished his job, and he wanted to be gentle with the beauty while he was in a good mood, but he saw Wang Qiu at the door with a bitter and hateful face, so he had to drive the beauty away first, and then beckoned to Wang Qiu.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor!" Wang Qiu knelt in front of Li Yuanhao in a regular manner, since Li Yuanhao ascended the throne, he was not as casual as before.

Li Yuanhao: "Get up and speak!" Looking at your appearance, are you dissatisfied with my arrangement for you to go to Liao? ”

Wang Qiu shook his head: "No, Your Majesty!" The affairs of the Liao State were originally handled by the ministers, so it was natural for the ministers to do it. In fact, in the previous negotiations with Liao, the minister found that the Liao Emperor also had this intention, but the Liao State had been hegemonic for a long time, even if he was slapped by the Song State this time, he still couldn't put down their shelf, and there were many unreasonable demands, so the minister deliberately shelved it. It's just that I didn't expect Song Guo, who has always been procrastinating, to react so quickly this time......"

Li Yuanhao: "You're right! Song Guo's performance this time was indeed very different from their usual style, and I didn't expect them to move so quickly. Without saying a word, so many troops were mobilized, and those inkblot guys in Song Court also had an enlightened day, we seem to have miscalculated a little! ”

"It's all the minister's fault! Please punish the emperor! Wang Qiu fell to his knees again.

Li Yuanhao: "Get up!" That's what we've done, and what we're going to do now is to think of ways to solve this problem. I'll tell you the truth. I have actually been looking forward to this day for more than 20 years, fortunately with your help, we can have today's situation in Daxia, and I also want to wrestle with Song Guo. See who is the hero of this world! ”

Wang Qiu: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" I still have some ideas to share with you. ”

Li Yuanhao: "Then let's say it!" ”

Wang Qiu: "The minister has been following you to fight in the south and the north all these years, and your combat ability is greatly admired. However, the minister still hopes that the emperor can take it easy and don't beat the Song army too hard! ”

Li Yuanhao: "Why? Do you still have Song Guo in your heart! ”

Wang Qiu: "The emperor laughed, and the ministers woke up every day and wanted to arrest Song Guojun and smoke him." The minister said this completely out of the interests of my Great Xia. No matter what you say, objectively speaking, the national strength of the Song State should not be underestimated, and we can teach it a lesson. Let it not dare to act rashly, but if you don't grasp the degree well, it hurts, and then it's not cost-effective to fight us. The minister still has always meant that if they want to die with Liao, let's seize the time to pick up the cheap is the king. ”

"Hmm!" Li Yuanhao nodded: "I like your statement very much!" You can rest assured to talk to Liao, and I will grasp the scale. By the way, speaking of which, I seem to have heard you say that the Liao State is asking too much. What's the excesses? ”

"This ......" Wang Qiu also hesitated a little.

Li Yuanhao's patience never lasted long, and he called: "Don't ink, just say what you have to say, I forgive you for your innocence!" ”

Wang Qiu: "That's what the minister said?" ”

Li Yuanhao: "Say! ”

Wang Qiu: "Actually, the Liao Emperor agreed to form an alliance in principle. But they are used to being the boss, and they can't adapt to our relationship with them on an equal footing for a while. That's why Emperor Liao proposed that we pay him a tribute, and he asked you to ......"

Li Yuanhao: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Wang Qiu: "Emperor Liao wants you to be a minister...... If you really can't do it, you have to be called a brother! ”

"Bang!" Bang!

The table next to Li Yuanhao turned into scum, and he was also stained with Wang Qiu, which scared him and made him tremble, thinking that he was going to be killed this time. Unexpectedly. After a while, Li Yuanhao actually said indifferently: "Don't think about paying tribute or anything, our Great Xia is not rich, I still want to dig something from them!" As for the ministers, we have been doing this for more than 100 years, and we don't care about this time, wait for me to take the Song State and the Liao State, hum! To hell with it! ”

"That'...... Your Majesty, you are the same ...... Agreed? Wang Qiu looked at Li Yuanhao in disbelief, and suddenly felt that he had been mixed with him for so many years, and now he didn't seem to know much about his thoughts.

Li Yuanhao: "I agreed in principle, but you still have to fight more, if you can only call your brother and not a minister, I will allow you to do a great job, how about it?" ”

"Thank you for your grace! The minister must live up to expectations, do not achieve the goal, and swear not to return to the court! Wang Qiu slammed on the ground this time.

……

Soon after, Wang Qiu hurried to Shangjing in Liao, and directly talked with Yelu Zongzhen, the little emperor of Liao, face to face, pestering people day and night, and talking nonsense with him, relying on his rotten tongue that didn't know how many inches, he really negotiated the alliance agreement. In the end, the Xia Dynasty reached an agreement on the premise of calling the younger brother, but the Xia Dynasty still had to pay some tribute to the Liao State in name, as for how to implement it, it is another matter, anyway, everyone knows this matter.

Of course, these are all superficial things, but the real agreement between Wang Qiu and Yelu Zongzhen was signed by the two of them in private, and all the content was written by Wang Qiu himself, without the hands of others. In other words, there are two copies of this agreement in black and white, one is in the hands of Yelu Zong, and the other is brought to you by Wang Qiu Li Yuanhao, and the three of them know about it in the world.

It is precisely because of the existence of this agreement that Liaoxia has formed a nondescript alliance, and it has also declared that the alliance is to maintain regional peace and stability, and has no intention of targeting any country. As for who believes this, it can only mean that whoever believes is stupid! (To be continued.) )
