"Lord Tang Xiaomen, all along, the lord of the country has regarded the Tang Sect as the staunchest ally of my Xirong country, not a vassal,"

A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe picked up his wine glass and looked at Tang Xiao opposite with a smile, "I believe that the master of Tang Xiao's sect should not live up to the kindness of our lord?"

"That's nature. ”

Tang Xiao nodded with a smile, in front of him was an envoy sent by the lord of Xirong, who was specially sent by the lord of Xirong to stabilize him.

Now, the Annan Kingdom has been destroyed, the Five Poisons Sect has fallen, and the Xirong Kingdom has lost its lips and teeth, and it is afraid that the Tang Sect will fall to the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, the Tang Sect had defected once before.

When the Flame Empire, the Xirong Kingdom, and the Annan Kingdom divided the Great Song Dynasty, the Tang Sect fell to their Xirong Kingdom almost bloodlessly.

It was precisely because of this consideration that the lord of Xijon sent an envoy to come.

I have to say that the conditions proposed by the lord of Xirong made Tang Xiao extremely tempted.

Basically, they retained all the rights and interests of their Tang Sect in the Bashu region.

The Xirong State, for the Bashu region, only maintains its nominal rule.

With such generous conditions, he Tang Xiao had no reason to refuse.

"Your Excellency Lao Fu went back and told the lord of Xirong that no matter what happens, I, Tangmen, will definitely stand firmly with Xirong country. ”

Tang Xiao bowed slightly, and bowed to the Xirong envoy with a smile.

"With the words of the Tang Sect Master, then my Xirong Kingdom will be relieved. ”

The Xijon envoy breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had finally stabilized this insatiable old fox, and he could go back to report to the lord of Xirong.

"Father, no!"

At this moment, a slightly hurried woman's voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Tang Xiao and Xirong envoys, their faces changed slightly, and then they followed the prestige, only to see that outside the main hall, there was a beautiful figure that broke in.

"Yurou?"

Tang Xiao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Tang Yurou.

Tang Yurou has not heard from her for several days, and Tang Xiao was about to send someone to find her, but she didn't expect that the other party would come back by herself.

"Father, we can't form an alliance with Xirong State, otherwise we will definitely suffer the disaster of extermination!"

Tang Yurou knew that the meeting in front of her had to be stopped.

Otherwise, the two sides will negotiate, and the Tang Gate will completely fall to the Xirong State, and there will be no room for salvation.

However, when Tang Xiao heard this, his eyes suddenly sank, and he scolded: "This is a major matter of the family and the country, what does your daughter's family know?"

"Don't want to talk nonsense and mess with the hearts of our army, why don't you go down quickly?"

"My daughter has already met the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Tang Yurou's words surprised Tang Xiao.

Didn't Tang Yurou go to the Five Poisons Sect General Altar, how could she meet the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?

However, before he could ask clearly, Tang Yurou's eager voice sounded again,

"Father, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is invincible!"

"Even if we join forces with the Xirong Kingdom, we don't have the slightest chance of winning, if you insist on stubbornly resisting, it will only bury the Tang Sect's hundreds of years of foundation!"

"Only by handing over the Tang Gate and returning to the Great Song Emperor can we save the lives of the whole clan. ”

"Your Majesty, for the sake of her daughter's face, will definitely not embarrass her father. ”

When Tang Xiao heard this, his face suddenly became very ugly.

"Master of the Tang Sect, it seems that this eldest lady has frightened the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The Xirong envoy next to him showed a hint of mockery on his face, "Does the Tang Sect Master really plan to sacrifice the Tang Sect and return to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Come on, take the young lady down and lock her in the boudoir!"

Tang Xiao's eyes were gloomy, "Without my order, no one is allowed to let her out!"

"Yes!"

The two masters of the Tang Sect immediately entered the hall and took Tang Yurou down.

"Father, if you do this, you will drag the Tang Sect into the abyss!"

Tang Yurou's voice was still echoing in Tang Xiao's ears.

"This emperor of the Great Song Dynasty doesn't know what ecstasy soup he gave to the little girl, it's really hateful,"

Looking at the direction in which Tang Yurou was taken away, Tang Xiao's eyes also flickered suddenly, and he immediately looked at the Xirong envoy next to him, and said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, my Tang Sect will definitely be dependent on Xirong Country, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to take away my Bashu land, my Tang Sect will not let him succeed!"

"However, with the strength of my Tang Sect alone, I can't compete with the Great Song Dynasty. ”

When the Xirong envoy heard this, he immediately smiled, "Don't worry about the Tang Sect Master, as long as the army of the Great Song Dynasty comes, my Xirong army will immediately rush to the aid and defend Bashu with you." ”

"Good!"

Tang Xiao smiled with relief.

The land of Bashu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the help of the Xirong army, even if the army of the Great Song Dynasty can fight well, can it still fly over?

......

Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Cao Zhengchun had already sent back the wire report from Bashu and handed it over to Zhao Lin.

After Zhao Lin finished reading it, his brows furrowed.

"As I expected, this Tang Xiao is really not smart enough. ”

Zhao Lin put the newspaper on top of the candle flame and burned it to ashes.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, it seems that it is impossible to occupy the land of Bashu without blood. ”

Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

"In that case, you can only use the sword. ”

Zhao Lin nodded, in his place, he had already thought of Plan B.

Once Tang Yurou is not successful, he will immediately implement this plan B.

"The order goes down. Let Yang Meng and Xiang Yu prepare to go west to Bashu in two ways. ”

"Yang Meng was a waterway, concentrated all the warships, and traveled west along the Yangtze River waterway. ”

"Xiang Yu is a land route, concentrating all the elite infantry and cavalry to attack Ba County. ”

Zhao Lin ordered at Cao Zhengchun.

Attacking Bashu is a big problem geographically.

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.

If you want to cross the Bashu natural danger, it has always been a problem for soldiers.

Therefore, Zhao Lin designed to let the two armies advance westward, and if any of them win, they could attack the hinterland of Bashu and smash Chengdu.

"The old slave obeyed. ”

Cao Zhengchun wrote Zhao Lin's will and prepared to go out.

However, he was stopped by Zhao Lin.

"In addition, order the Eastern Sect Master to go to the Tang Sect, except for Tang Xiao. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of killing intent.

Cao Zhengchun was slightly surprised, "Your Majesty, this half-moon period has not yet arrived......"

Zhao Lin gave Tang Yurou half a month to persuade her father to surrender to His Majesty.

It's only been three or four days.

"Even if she was given a month, she wouldn't be able to convince her father, there was no need to wait any longer. ”

Zhao Lin shook his head, "Wait any longer, it will only delay the fighter." ”

"Besides, do you think that if Tang Xiao dies, who will inherit his position and become the next helmsman of the Tang Sect?"

A sly look suddenly appeared on Zhao Lin's face.

"Of course it's his daughter, Tang Yurou!"

Cao Zhengchun's eyes lit up.

Wonderful!

Looking at it this way, Tang Xiao really deserves to die!

When he looked at Zhao Lin, he suddenly showed a look of appreciation.

Today's Tang Yurou has become His Majesty's woman, and Tang Xiao is equivalent to His Majesty's father-in-law.

However, His Majesty is not soft on this Tang Xiao.

How decisive the killing.

This is the demeanor of the King of Shengming, and it is the emperor of the ages that he Cao Zhengchun is loyal to.
