Chapter 102: Envoy to Liao
Happy New Year everyone!! Today's second update is sent, I hope you will enjoy watching it!
——————————————————————————————
The latent iron harrier saw the special combat team members running crazy, and thought that the other party was frightened by himself and was running away for his life, although the speed of this run was a little faster, but isn't this the specialty of the Song people! He didn't think much about it, he planned to send the family back to his hometown, skillfully raised the divine arm crossbow, and opened the valve without hesitation...... The guy in front of him didn't fall to the ground in response, he was still jumping around, this is very unscientific, he is going to load the arrow and do it again, this time he will definitely not miss.
However, God didn't give him a chance, because the Western Xia's divine arm crossbow was still relatively primitive, in order to increase the range, it took a lot of strength to pull it away, and he had to step on his feet and pull the string with both hands, and when he loaded the arrows, he habitually stood up. Of course, he can also lie down to complete this action, but he feels that there is no threat, so he doesn't care so much, suddenly a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, he also instinctively wanted to dodge, unfortunately, the speed of the crossbow arrow is too fast, otherwise such a heavy arrow will not be able to shoot three hundred meters, looking at the arrow that is still trembling on his body, he slowly lowered his arm, but he still held on to his breath, and he was unwilling......
After Zhao Zhen improved the Song Dynasty's Divine Arm Crossbow, it was equipped with a pulley set and hinges, which could be easily filled by hand, but it was not faster than the Western Xia Divine Arm Crossbow in terms of speed, and the only advantage was that it was labor-saving.
Seeing that the enemy had been hit by an arrow, the two special combat team members cautiously came to him and looked at this guy who was still not dying.
"You...... You...... You...... How...... How...... Still...... Alive, this ...... It's not ...... No...... No way! You...... You guys...... Be...... Miscellaneous...... What...... Who? The wounded and dying Iron Harrier forced his breath and asked intermittently while spitting blood, waiting for his bloodshot eyes to stare at the two of them.
"Humph! If you want me to die, just your thing, there is no door, you dare to go to the realm of my Great Song Dynasty to spread wild, and you don't pee and take pictures, what kind of thing, go die! With that, he kicked the man to the ground, and this time the iron harrier also became a dead harrier.
The situation on other roads was similar, under the multiple blows of mines, grenades, and improved divine arm crossbows, all the soldiers sent by Li Yuanhao this time were buried in the mountains.
Subsequently, Han Zhang and Xu Qing led people to solve the two hundred people who were unsuspecting and stayed in the valley, and the whole process exterminated about 100 people and more than 1,000 elite soldiers.
And Li Yuanhao waited left at home and didn't see anyone go back, and he didn't see anyone go back to the right, he was anxious, it was too long before he decided to send another batch of iron harriers to investigate, this time it was a hundred people, and he told them to be careful.
But this is all useless, the iron harriers have just entered the mountain, and their whereabouts have been mastered by Han Zhang, given that the other party did not act separately, they did not need to divide their troops, and directly set up a minefield in the dangerous pass selected at the beginning. When the Iron Harriers arrived, they heard a loud noise, and the mountains shook in an instant, flying sand and rolling stones, and a burst of thunderstorms fell from the sky.
Knowing that all the elites he had just sent were hanged, Li Yuanhao was furious, and vowed to find out the murderer to skin and cramp and light the sky lantern, after an urgent investigation, he learned from the mouth of the mountain people that he only heard a dry land mine shook the mountain, and the location of the incident was also unrecognizable, and it was rumored that the mountain god was angry.
The more backward the place, the more afraid of these superstitions, although Li Yuanhao is very awesome, but he is still very afraid of the more awesome existence of God, and in the end there is nothing left, after which Li Yuanhao greatly reduced the manpower sent to the Song Dynasty to arrest the people.
Han Zhang and the others waited for a long time, and they didn't see Li Yuanhao send soldiers again, so they didn't think it was interesting, so they returned to the court, and after this incident, the northwest frontier of the Great Song Dynasty was also a lot more peaceful in a short period of time.
But this does not mean that Li Yuanhao gave up his plan, he is not a person who gives up lightly, he is just temporarily forced to do nothing, once he has the opportunity, or let him find out the reason, he will definitely make a comeback.
————————————————————————————— Mingyue is one year old, and the shadow is twelve times. How to compete for Luo Zhulei tonight.
Not only love the color, but also go to the high platform. People's hearts are not like this, try to speak for the king.
The moon is the essence of water, and the autumn is the breath of gold. Gold and water are born together, and the five elements are separated.
Then you know that between heaven and earth, there are different kinds of feelings. The water is still golden, and the moon is clearer because of autumn.
The spirit makes it so, and people who are not affectionate. Pity don't be at night, all of them are gone.
Since the poets of the past, they have not been chanted here. It can be glorious in vain, but it is impossible to understand the beginning and the end.
There is a secret search, how can a dry kiss really be. Please look at the song of retreat, its ability to hit.
……
The bright moonlight is reflected on the sparkling sea, reflecting a little starlight, and the two dragon and turtle boats are floating together on the Bohai Bay, and Sun Fupan is sitting on the top of the boat, clapping the beat with his hands, while singing his "Mid-Autumn Song".
Since Song Liao signed the "Lanyuan Alliance", in principle, each other is a country of brothers, although they used to fight to the death, now in order to look good, the two families will still send envoys to each other if they have any major or minor affairs. And the current emperor of Liao, Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, is the one who signed the alliance with Song Zhenzong, that is, Zhao Zhen's father. According to logic, Zhao Zhen has to call people "uncle", his cheap "uncle" brought the Liao country to its peak, but he was busy worshipping Buddha in his later years, and the Liao country has been defeated. The most nonsense is that Zhao Zhen's birthday as the "uncle" happened to be on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, so that every time he sent an envoy to celebrate his birthday, it was like a New Year's greeting.
This year is no exception, the road was far away, and the envoys originally sent had already been on the road, not because Li Deming, who begged Liao to give him the king of Xia, happened to be making the wind and wipers at this time, Zhao Zhen had to send someone to chase back the original envoy quickly, and let Li Shangshu Sun Fu lead the team. Considering that the time was urgent, it was probably too late to take the land route, so Chong Shiheng selected a group of people with relatively strong abilities and drove the two warships that had just been built to carry Sun Fu and others to Bohai Bay.
"Papapapa" Xiao Zhuge Shen Zhongyuan clapped his palms and walked up from the cabin and said to Sun Fu: "My lord, what a Yaxing!" ”
"Hehe, it's ugly!"
"Your Excellency, look at the moon tonight, this environment is very compatible with your poetry! By the way, my lord, we will go ashore tomorrow, do you think you should rest early? ”
"You might as well do it, you see that you are always an adult, and you call me old, in fact, I am also in the prime of life! Come, sit down and have a drink, warm up in the cold of late autumn! Sun Fu motioned for Shen Zhongyuan to sit opposite.
"Drink it yourself, sir! Forgive the emperor's order, you can't drink, and when this trip is over, the lower officials will definitely be disturbed! Shen Zhongyuan politely pushed back the wine glass handed by Sun Fu, and also gave him some snacks and snacks by the way.
"It seems that the Holy Lord's training of you is still very effective! Look at you unruly martial arts masters, now one by one is more rules, and now I have to bother you to accompany me all the way out to suffer, I really can't go! ”
"You don't have to worry about it, my lord! Our greatest wish for those who practice martial arts is to one day be able to serve the country, hoe the strong and help the weak, and thank the saint for the wrong love. But you are different, you are a talented person, who can help the Holy Lord achieve the great cause, and the lower officials have to work hard, but they don't dare to let you do something. ”
"Know what you're worried about, so don't worry! It's still very safe on the way here, and I guess that he also wants us to fight with the Liao State, and they will benefit from the fisherman."
"Then do we really want to pinch Liao Guo, if that's the case, the lower officials have to make some preparations first."
Sun Fu shook his head: "According to the meaning of the saint, I won't turn my face with Liao for Li Deming's, but maybe people will come to find fault with it, and it's best to take the sea route when we return, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”
"Xia Guan understands! The lower official will arrange it, make an appointment for them to pick us up, and rest early, my lord! Shen Zhongyuan got up and arched his hand towards Sun Fu.
"It's hard work!"
"Don't dare to be!"
Sun Fu and his entourage landed in Jinzhou of the Liao State, directly entered the Xingzhong Mansion in the hinterland of the Liao State, and after negotiating with the Liao State there, they arrived at Shangjing, the political center of the Liao State, under the escort of the Liao ** scholars.
Hurry up and hurry, finally arrived before the birthday of Liao Shengzong, Sun Fu and the others also sighed, and then it was time to recharge their energy and meet the war of words from all sides.
In 1026 A.D., on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the whole Liao Kingdom was in a joyful atmosphere, first, the New Year was approaching, and the festive atmosphere was strong; The second is that their great emperor Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu is 500,000 years old this year, which is indeed an advanced age in this era, and it is even more rare among emperors, so it should be celebrated lively.
Liao Shengzong sat on the dragon chair of the palace with a golden sword, looking at the worshipping subjects and envoys of various countries with a smile on his face, and seeing these people groveling in front of him, he enjoyed this fluttering feeling very much. Think about how he ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and with the efforts of his mother and himself, he finally built the Liao State into a powerful country, and even the seemingly powerful Song Dynasty in the south was willing to be called a brother under his iron hooves! What else in this world can excite yourself? Who else despises the universe and deserves to be against me? If not, then I should concentrate on following my own path to Buddhahood!
Thinking of this, Liao Shengzong suddenly remembered that his short-lived cheap brother in the south, his cheap nephew seemed to have ascended the throne at the age of twelve! It's really fate! I don't know what he tossed the Song Dynasty into? When his envoy comes, be sure to ask carefully.
"The envoys of the Song Dynasty have arrived!" Finally, after the cats and dogs of those Goryeo envoys and Xia Wang envoys were visited, the Song Dynasty envoys as the finale were belated.
"The minister of the Song Dynasty Rite Department Shangshu Sun Fu greeted His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor, and wished His Majesty eternal happiness and longevity!" Sun Fu took several of the main officials of the mission to pay homage to Liao Shengzong.
"Sun Qing's family is flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, the subordinates have something to say!" As soon as Sun Fu got up, a guy next to him jumped out and shouted, this person was the envoy sent by Li Deming, the king of Xia, and his third son Li Chengwei.
"Oh, I don't know what?" Although Liao Shengzong doesn't like this guy who interrupts others and doesn't pay attention to etiquette, but seeing that people have worked hard to celebrate his birthday, let him talk, so as to show my generosity!
"Your Majesty, your birthday should be celebrated by the whole world, and we and the rest of the country also hope to see your light, so we all came to Shangjing early, and awaited the arrival of your great birthday with reverence...... But if you look at these envoys of the Song Dynasty, what is their attitude? One by one, they were arrogant, and they didn't arrive in a hurry until a few days ago, they are the most disrespectful of you, and I beg Your Majesty to punish you with a small punishment! Li Chengwei first slapped Liao Shengzong with a fart, and finally turned sharply and buckled the basin on the heads of Sun Fu and others.
When people get older, they become suspicious, and Liao Shengzong listened to the words of the hairy boy in front of him, his expression became unnatural, and his eyes at Sun Fu and the others became sharp, but he didn't say anything, but waited for Sun Fu and the others to reply.
"Your Majesty, the minister (because of the alliance between the two countries, the ministers of the two countries have to show respect when they see each other's emperors) I really don't know how this yellow-mouthed kid can have such thoughts, but the minister definitely doesn't mean to despise the emperor. As for why the ministers came late, it is precisely because our emperor attaches great importance to your birthday, which has to start from two months ago. Originally, my emperor had already sent an envoy to congratulate him, but just two months ago, my emperor suddenly got a treasure, my emperor felt that this treasure was the most suitable for you, so he hurriedly sent his ministers to come, but the road is really far away, and the minister is forced to come a little later, and I hope that Your Majesty Haihan! Facing Liao Shengzong's dissatisfied eyes, Sun Fu said neither humbly nor arrogantly, these are all prepared, and he knows that the Xia King will not be so peaceful.
"What is it that makes my imperial nephew pay so much attention to it? Present it to me and have a look! "Hearing that people are preparing gifts for themselves, Liao Shengzong's mood has become better again, it seems that the little guy didn't despise himself because he was old! This is very good, seeing that you are so sensible, I won't embarrass you this year.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sun Fu responded first, then carefully opened the gift box, took out something wrapped in yellow cloth and handed it to the guard next to him.
When the guards put the treasure on the table in front of Liao Shengzong, he gently uncovered the yellow cloth that was covered, and all the envoys and ministers of Liao under the hall stared at Liao Shengzong with wide eyes, staring at Liao Shengzong without blinking, wanting to see what the treasure was, worthy of so much effort from the Song Dynasty......
