Chapter 20: The Beginning of the War

"Xiao Feng of Chennan Courtyard, see the emperor!" , Xiao Feng half-knelt and bowed his head.

"Xiao Feng listens to the seal, Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard, is loyal to the country, and I am also a virtuous minister, and I am hereby the king of Song, and I am given the title of generalissimo of Pingnan, and he commands the three armies, and I am here!"

Xiao Feng was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to resist the decree in person: "The minister receives the order, the emperor, do you still have the intention of going south?" ”

When Yelu Hongji heard this, he snorted coldly: "It's not that I have the intention of going south, it's that Zhao Xu, this kid, covets my land, do you know what has happened in the Great Song Dynasty recently." ”

Xiao Feng has been living in Da Liao for more than a year, and he doesn't know what happened to the Great Song Dynasty, "Dare to ask the emperor, what happened to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Hmph, the peasants of the Great Song Dynasty are all practicing martial arts, in less than a year, many peasants already have the skills of the third-rate rivers and lakes, and in a short time, all the people are soldiers, am I Da Liao not a lamb to be slaughtered? can make the farmers of the whole country practice martial arts, this is not Zhao Xu behind the scenes, who has so much ability! Look at the magnitude of his ambition, not to be underestimated! ”

Xiao Feng was taken aback, the Great Song Emperor actually had such courage.

Yelu Hongji continued: "Moreover, recently, Zhao Xu, this kid, has actually rectified the border defense, trained the three armies, recruited troops, and stockpiled grain, which clearly has the intention of invading my Daliao!" ”

Xiao Feng's heart was entangled, "Your Majesty, the Southern Dynasty trained soldiers and horses, and there may not be any northern aggressions, and when they really mobilize troops and horses, it is not too late to defend." ”

"What you mean is that you don't want to lead your troops south, do you?" , Yelu Hongji's face gradually became ugly.

Xiao Feng half-knelt on the ground and apologized: "Your Majesty, the conquest has affected the people of the world, and I also ask the emperor to appoint another sage." ”

"Humph! In your mind, it is really important to serve the Great Song Dynasty, would you rather serve the Great Song Dynasty than serve the Great Liao, right? ”

Xiao Feng is still the same Xiao Feng, disobeying the monarch's order is disloyal, ignoring the feelings of righteousness is unjust, going south to attack the Song Dynasty is unkind, not obeying his father's orders to provoke a fight is unfilial piety, but loyalty and filial piety are incomplete, benevolence and righteousness cannot be taken into account, Xiao Feng would rather resign than bear to be miserable.

Under Xiao Feng's strong will, although Yelu Hongji agreed, he already had a slight murderous intent in his heart.

After Xiao Feng left, Yelu Hongji was persuaded by the advisers around him, and used a stratagem to lure Azhu to drink poisoned wine to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng learned that the emperor was going to kill him, and fled with Azhu overnight, but he didn't know that the wine he drank was poisonous wine, and in the process of escaping, he was poisoned, surrounded by the Liao army, and the two were captured.

Xiao Feng was poisoned and unable to resist, but Ah Zhu used a little trick, disguised himself as a small soldier, and fled back to the Great Song Dynasty for help.

"Recently, there has been more and more conscription."

"Yes, yes, many people have been conscripted to the border, do you say there is going to be a war?"

"Hmph, didn't his emperor just see that the peasants had combat effectiveness, and now he picked up the cheap?"

"Shhhh Silence! You don't want to live anymore, dare to talk about the saint today! ”

"I ......"

On the side of the restaurant, Ye Tianzheng was drinking fine wine, eating delicious food, traveling the world, and looking at the fruits of his labor during this time.

If you want to say where is the fastest place to know the news, it is of course the restaurant, in addition to going to the countryside to see the farmers, Ye Tian listened to these people in the restaurant to brag and joke.

Some of the things that are already known, and the truth of the news is found out, but some of the things that are not known, of course, have to find out whether it is true.

This time, just like these people said, he didn't know the news that a large number of peasants were conscripted, after all, he was just observing the peasants along the road, and those people had already learned the tricks he spread, but Ye Tian couldn't know how many people were in which household.

Ye Tian still wondered, no wonder almost all the people working in the fields recently were old people and women, and it turned out that the young and strong men were all conscripted.

Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu, I just planted the fruit tree, and you started picking the fruit, which is really unkind, I can't say that I want to come to see you. Emperor? I've wanted to see this for a long time.

…………

It's night, the Great Song Palace, Funing Palace.

Zhao Xu was picking up the lights to read the papers, these were all major events happening all over the country, or military secrets, and a few coughs were heard from time to time.

The light flickered suddenly, Zhao Xu was slightly stunned, then stood up and said, "This knight, what is the matter with the palace that came to me late at night?" ”

"Whoosh", several eunuchs appeared beside Zhao Xu, two leaders, one of whom had a high temple bulge, at first glance he was a master of external skills, and the other had a thin face that could be seen to be a little delicate, and his body seemed to be weak, but in fact it exuded an ominous feminine atmosphere, which looked very weird.

A person jumped down from the beam of the house and stood firmly in front of Zhao Xu, without any disguise, dressed in white, not even wearing a black gauze scarf, the person who came was naturally Ye Tian.

"Protect the Emperor!"

The three eunuchs surrounded Ye Tian with horns, and one stood in front of Zhao Xu, just waiting for Zhao Xu to give an order to solve the person in front of him with the power of thunder.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Stand down!" ”

Then he smiled at Ye Tian and said, "This chivalrous man, what is the important thing to come?" ”

Ye Tian looked at the appearance of this short-lived emperor Zhao Xu, a young and handsome man, but his face was pale and his blood was seriously lacking, but the whole person exuded an indescribable aura.

"This may be the emperor's anger, right?" Ye Tian couldn't help but think.

Wan Er smiled and arched his hand and said, "You are Zhao Xu?" As an emperor, stealing other people's fruits is a bit unkind, right? ”

"Bold! Dare to call the Holy Majesty! A harsh, shrill voice came from the mouth of the feminine eunuch.

Zhao Xu waved his hand, signaling that it was okay.

Fruit? Zhao Xu was astute, and instantly thought of the matter of conscription, which was worthy of a man who had reigned for more than ten years in history and could pacify the Western Xia, and then smiled heartily and said: "It turns out that this hero is a benevolent and righteous person who spreads martial arts in the world, and there is indeed something wrong with my approach, but the Great Song Dynasty is now in danger, and the matter of conscription is also a last resort." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Ye Tian looked deaf.

"There is a great Liao in the north, and there is a Xixia in the west, although there is no need to worry about Dali in the south, it is undeniable that I am in danger in this Great Song Dynasty. I have now raised 200,000 troops, and only after this conscription is over, can I divide some troops to resist the Great Liao, and I can do a good job of eliminating Naxi Xia! ”

These words made Ye Tian also infected by Zhao Xu, and the current Great Song Dynasty is indeed as he said, full of dangers. The weak land of Western Xia also dared to establish a Xixia Yipintang, and dealt with the Great Song Dynasty in a grand manner, but the Great Song Dynasty ignored it, Ye Tian thought that the Great Song Dynasty was afraid of the Western Xia, but he didn't expect that he was now preparing to kill with one blow and completely destroy the entire country of the Western Xia.

It is said that the Xixia of this world makes him feel awkward and abnormal, compared with the Xixia in his real world, his strength is not strong, but he always does things without his own strength, which really tarnishes the word Xixia.

With this feeling, Ye Tian said without hesitation: "Okay, I won't pursue this matter, and I also strongly agree with your extermination of Western Xia." ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he was also a little excited in his heart, this person is by no means simple, his ability is strong, and his power is unimaginable.

In a few days, the entire Song Dynasty farmers can learn the agricultural moves, but in a few years, everyone has third-rate skills in the rivers and lakes.

Zhao Xu also ordered people to study it, these moves are really not simple, they are completely tailor-made for farmers, and farmers need to work for a long time to make their martial arts gradually advanced, Zhao Xu often thinks that such a capable person can be used by him and help him create some moves suitable for military training, how good it should be.

So I put a lot of effort into finding the information of the person behind the spread move, but unfortunately I found nothing, no one knew when it was rising, who was taking the lead in spreading, and a big hand behind me had already laid everything out, and with a gentle push, things fell into place.

Zhao Xu's conscription also means forcing the people behind him.

At this moment, when the person behind him came to him, he couldn't help but be a little excited and out of shape. With a thought in his mind, "Dare to ask this hero's name?" ”

Ye Tian said indifferently, "Ye Tian, the people in the rivers and lakes are called Bai Xiaosheng. ”

Zhao Xu was also a little surprised, he obviously knew this title, I heard that there is nothing in the world that he doesn't know, his intelligence network includes the entire Great Song Dynasty, Great Liao, Dali, Western Xia, and he is also a martial arts master, which can be described as a famous person.

"It turned out to be Ye Daxia, Ye Daxia's reputation, even in the palace, I am like thunder, when I see it today, I am really arrogant."

"The emperor has won the award, so I will bother this time."

Ye Tian originally came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but when he heard the reason, he also forgave Zhao Xu, the bandits and bandits and others are certainly not worth mentioning compared to the destruction of the country, and these moves he passed on are probably useless. So after asking, I was ready to leave.

"Ye Daxia stays!"

Ye Tian looked puzzled, I didn't bother you anymore, you still keep me? Do you want to invite me to dinner?

"Ye Daxia, can you be kind and heart-to-heart?" Zhao Xu saw that Ye Tian was about to leave, this kind of person Shenlong saw the beginning and the end, and he couldn't find it anymore if he left, the opportunity was rare, if he didn't take advantage of it now, I was afraid that he would never have a chance again.

"Okay, Your Majesty, you can say it." Ye Tian also wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhao Xu's sugar gourd was selling.

Xu ascended the throne at the age of nine, and during his reign, his grandmother, the Empress Dowager, listened to the government for eight years. After his grandmother's death, he took charge of the government, implemented a new law, and deposed the old party. Restart the battle of Hehuang, collect the Qingtang region, return me to the great rivers and mountains, Xu has a great cause to complete, that is, to descend to the Western Xia, destroy the Great Liao, restore my heavenly kingdom, and worship all dynasties! ”

"It is a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty to be able to produce such a peerless ability as Ye Daxia, if Ye Daxia can ...... for the imperial court"

"Don't!"

Contribute to the imperial court? For the use of the imperial court? Ye Tian didn't want to do anything, so he interrupted Zhao Xu before he finished speaking, Ye Tian could see that Zhao Xu really wanted to win him over, and his expression was in place, affectionate and affectionate.

However, no matter what conditions Zhao Xu gave, Ye Tian would not agree, he was not here.

"I know what the emperor means, but I, Ye Tian, am free and loose, I'm afraid I will have to live up to the emperor's good intentions."

After that, he didn't give Zhao Xu a chance to say more, jumped on the top of the palace in three or two and disappeared into the night.

The four eunuchs wanted to chase and take Ye Tian, but they were also stopped by Zhao Xu, with Ye Tian and Song being stronger, it was inevitable, and there was no way without that.

Hearing Ye Tian's words at the end, Zhao Xu knew that this person was not something he could subdue, and the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty had not yet reached the point of begging Ye Tian, so he didn't think about it anymore, sighed, sat down again, and continued to review the folds. The four eunuchs also disappeared into the shadows.
