Zhang Wei wanted to know where Zhao Yan saw the flaws, so as to lead their entire rescue plan to fail, but Zhao Yan smiled slightly: "Is Hu Qing, the old merchant outside the forest, also from your Flying Cavalry Division?" ”

"He is not a member of our Flying Cavalry Division, but he has a great relationship with me, in this operation to rescue His Majesty, except for me, he has the highest status, are you seeing the flaws in his body?" Hearing Zhao Yan mention Hu Qing, the expression on Zhang Wei's face became very strange, as if there was a little annoyance and remorse, but there was a bit of inexplicable meaning in it.

"Yes, it turns out that he is not a person from the Flying Cavalry Division, then it's no wonder, but it's also to blame you for arranging it differently, let someone like Hu Qing play a businessman, as long as you are careful, you can see the problem." Zhao Yan nodded with a smile at the moment, he saw some problems from that Hu Qing, and then reported that he was careful to make a thousand years of thought, and secretly made a layout, and finally really caught Zhang Wei, a big fish.

"Where did the county king see that Hu Qing didn't look like a businessman?" Zhang Wei's face was gloomy at this time, and the expression on his face was even more strange, making people unable to understand what he was thinking?

"It's very simple, along the way, we also met a lot of businessmen, most of them are from the Great Song Dynasty, but no matter what kind of backers these merchants have in the Great Song Dynasty, they still have an instinctive fear of the army, every time they see us, they can't wait to hide far away, and when they have to deal with each other, these businessmen will also be very restrained, but when Hu Qing saw us, he didn't look nervous at all, but when I learned that he was from Luoyang, he also specifically mentioned a lot of Luoyang's customs, This is not like the table of an ordinary businessman. Zhao Yan said with a light smile.

Soldiers and bandits are not separated, and this sentence is not wrong at all to describe the ancient army. With the exception of a few well-disciplined armies, the armies of most dynasties were actually a group of well-trained bandits, who were fine when they were not fighting, but when they saw blood on the battlefield, they all became lawless, especially when fighting in enemy territory. It is even more evil to burn, kill and loot, Yang Wenguang is strict enough to govern the army, but it is still impossible to avoid the soldiers in the army privately robbing the Western Xia nobles to collect money, just look at how popular Cao Song's bank is.

This attack on the Western Xia mainly used the Western Army, the Western Army has the strongest combat effectiveness among the three forbidden armies, but it is also notoriously unruly, plus they have been fighting with the Western Xia people all year round, and the result is also infected with some of the bandit habits of the Western Xia people, even if they encounter caravans coming and going, they will not rob them. It will definitely extort some property, which also leads those caravans to hide as far as they can when they encounter the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Most of the caravans that Zhao Yan saw along the way were like this, unless it was a caravan with a military background like Cao Song, but this kind of caravan generally carried obvious signs, and the army did not dare to provoke it after seeing it, but that Hu Qing's caravan was obviously just an ordinary caravan. When he saw him, he didn't have any expression of fear, which aroused Zhao Yan's suspicions. In the end, Zhang Wei's rescue plan was ruined.

"I see, I really regret that I shouldn't have listened to my father's last words, I didn't expect that I would really be killed by Hu Qing." After listening to Zhao Yan's explanation, I saw that Zhang Wei suddenly sighed and said, and he actually mentioned Zhang Yuan, who had already passed away, which made Zhao Yan a little strange.

"Can't you understand what I mean?" Before Zhao Yan could ask. Zhang Wei suddenly took the initiative to smile at him and asked.

"I really can't understand why Hu Qing has a relationship with your father?" Zhao Yan didn't deny it, and said directly.

"Hehe, this matter is a long story, I don't know if you have heard of the name Wu Hao?" When the name 'Wu Hao' was mentioned, a sneer of disdain suddenly appeared on Zhang Wei's face.

"Wu Hao?" Zhao Yan immediately felt very familiar when he heard this name. Then he said with a sudden face, "Is the Wu Hao you are talking about the same Wu Hao who defected to Western Xia with your father?" ”

"Yes, that's the person!" Zhang Wei pursed his lips again with disdain and said, "This Wu Hao's original name was Hu Qing, and he and my father deliberately changed their names to Wu Hao and Zhang Yuanhao in order to attract Li Yuanhao's attention, and wrote poems everywhere, which really attracted Li Yuanhao in the end......"

Zhao Yan's experience of Zhang Yuan's defection to Xixia is also heard from Lao Huang, some details are not particularly clear, and now I understand the whole thing when I hear Zhang Wei's story, it turns out that Zhang Yuan and Hu Qing defected to Xixia together, among which Zhang Yuan is talented and intelligent, and was soon reused by Li Yuanhao, in contrast, although Hu Qing is also a little talented, but his brain is a little stiff, and he doesn't know how to be flexible at all, and the result is not treated by Li Yuanhao, and even offended many nobles in Western Xia because of his arrogant personality, If Zhang Yuan hadn't come forward for him, I'm afraid Hu Qing would have been killed a long time ago.

It is precisely because of Hu Qing's great ambition and talent, so although he took refuge in Western Xia with Zhang Yuan, he was slowly forgotten by most people, but Hu Qing has an advantage, that is, he is not jealous of his friend Zhang Yuan's achievements, plus Zhang Yuan has saved his life several times, so Hu Qing has always been very grateful to Zhang Yuan's family, and even became the teacher of Zhang Wei's sons, and has been concentrating on staying in Zhang's family to teach all these years.

Zhang Wei is usually close to Hu Qing, but just before his father Zhang Yuan died, he once told him several things, one of which was that he could take care of Hu Qing at ordinary times, but he must not hand over important things to Hu Qing to do, because he knows his friend better than anyone else.

"Hahahaha, I see, although I feel disgusted with what your father did, but he is quite knowledgeable, but you didn't take his dying advice to heart, and finally used Hu Qing at such a critical moment, but it fell short." Zhao Yan laughed heartily again when he heard this.

"The king of the county is right, I am all to blame for this matter, I didn't take my father's last words to heart, and my last hope of recovering the country in Daxia was buried in my hands, and when I die, I am afraid that I will not have the face to see my father again!" At this time, I saw Zhang Wei sigh again, and his face also showed a lonely look.

"Hmph, your father and son are Han Chinese, but they choose to help the abuse, after death, I am afraid that they will only lay down eighteen layers of hell, and suffer from that endless suffering, then your father and son can be companions, and repent of the sins committed in this life!" Zhao Yan snorted coldly at this time, people who grew up in that environment in his previous life have an incomparable hatred for traitors, and Zhao Yan is no exception.

"Hehe~, what about the Han people? What about the Hu people? 'Yi Di into China is China, China into Yi Di is Yi Di', what is the difference between Han and Yi, as long as the Central Plains can be laid, then it is Chinese orthodoxy! Regarding Zhao Yan's accusation, Zhang Wei said with a light smile, he has heard a lot of this kind of words, and he also has his own set of statements.

"I know that your father and son are full of poetry and books, and this king is too lazy to debate these with you, but as a Han Chinese, you are a Han and you are a party member who kills the same clan, which is a great crime, and this king is preparing to compile a "traitor record", which will record all the people who have betrayed their clan throughout the ages, and your father and son must also be on the list, and then your father and son will be ready to bear the infamy of thousands of years!" Zhao Yan also listened to the fire at this time, what he hated the most was the sentence 'Yi Di into China, China into Yi Di will be Yi Di', this sentence has provided a reason for many traitors to betray, such as the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty in later generations, and even let countless traitors put this sentence on the altar, and even wanted to assimilate the Yi people into Han people, but unfortunately they forgot the famous words left by their ancestors that 'if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different'.

"Traitor Record!" When Zhang Wei heard this, his face finally changed, as a poet and calligrapher, what he valued most was his own reputation, the reputation of their father and son was already stinky, but now Zhao Yan even wanted to write a book to scold them, with Zhao Yan's influence, this book will definitely spread widely, and then their father and son may really have to bear the infamy of thousands of years.

"That's it! Since it has fallen into the hands of the king of the county now, then all the qiē will be disposed of by the king of the county, anyway, our father and son did not have a good reputation during their lifetime, and they can't be controlled after death. Zhang Wei finally sighed suddenly and said, now that he has become a prisoner of Zhao Yan's subordinates, even if he is unwilling, there is nothing he can do.

"Hmph, I knew what it was, why bother in the first place, since I have already become a traitor, I have to bear the corresponding consequences!" After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers immediately stepped forward to tie up Zhang Wei, and Li Liangzuo, who was still asleep, was put in the cage again, as for the iron bar Li who was proficient in unlocking, he was already paralyzed on the ground, he didn't have as good psychological qualities as Zhang Wei, and he was even scared to pee his pants just now.

Originally, a small person like Tie Tiao Li had no value of being captured alive at all, after all, they committed a capital crime, and there was no need to bring them back to the capital, they were generally beheaded directly on the spot, unless it was a big man like Zhang Wei who would escort him to the capital with Li Liangzuo, but Huang Wude was very interested in Tie Tiao Li, and whispered a few words to Zhao Yan, and after Zhao Yan nodded, a few people from the Imperial City Division immediately took Tie Tiao Li away.

In addition, there are some Xixia remnants who pretend to be post guards in the post station, these people were originally ready to leave when Zhang Wei started, but unfortunately they were intercepted and killed by the patrol team that had been prepared, and after the post station was dealt with, the shouting and killing sound on the forest side slowly fell silent, Zhao Yan heard this and smiled at Huang Wude next to him: "Let's go, let's go and see if that Hu Qing is dead, if not, we have to thank each other well!" (To be continued......)
