Chapter 148: Chopping the Messenger

"Rich and amazing, huh? 500,000 guan, I also have it. Li Qianshun was furious, furious. A thousand times to buy a person, a poisonous method, this poisonous plan has exceeded the arrangement in front of the Song military city. A thousand is enough for a person to live without food and clothing in the Great Song Dynasty for a lifetime. Now that the Western Xia is poor and social, the Li people first hugged the thighs of the Song Dynasty, and then found a place to live in the Western Xia, and had money to spend, so the bastard didn't do it.

"Also...... I heard that there were rumors in the besieged Tianyi army, but if the tribe revolted and returned to the Song Dynasty, the official seal was given a product, and it was given to the king, and it was purchased at the price of a hundred yuan for a clansman. The proton army, who had been captured and *** before, had already sneaked back into the tribal army to lobby. Because Tianmu County was broken through, and today, the soldiers besieging the county are disheartened. The prince who led the troops asked His Majesty to return to the army as soon as possible to rectify military affairs and boost the morale of our army. ”

"How could the Song Dynasty do this?" Li Qianshun: This will be anger and panic. Looking at the posture of the Song Dynasty, it seems that the money is thrown away without counting, and it is all calculated according to 10,000. How can this battle be fought? I had never heard that the Han people would be so generous. Not to mention generosity, the military rewards in the past were the lowest among several countries. This time, contrary to the norm, the money was sprinkled like straw paper. Movement is ten thousand. Li Qianshun believes that most of the soldiers in Tianshu County are not hateful betrayers, but jealous, why did this good thing not fall on his head.

Wei Ming, who had been in the last row of the big tent, said: "Your Majesty, it's not the Song Dynasty that did it, but that there are people in the Song army who have so much money that they don't know how to spend it." ”

"Who?"

"Ouyang!"

"That Ouyang who bought a concubine for a million?"

"Yes! Now it is the Song Qinfeng Road Supervisor. "Wei Ming Shouquan said: "The last general heard that he can raise more than 10,000 yuan of money in Yangping Qianzhuang with a letter. His people do not seek ***, and their lives are not extravagant. It's true that there is nowhere to spend the money. ”

Li Qianshun asked: "Where did he get so much money?" ”

It is said that he is the big boss of the casino in Liaoguo, with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, and a shareholder of the Yangping Chamber of Commerce, with a monthly income of tens of thousands, and a shareholder of Yangping Qianzhuang, who paid hundreds of thousands of dividends at the end of last year. He was exempted from taxes for two years, and the annual income of the tax he could embezzle was millions. There is also the shopkeeper of the Song Royal Newspaper. The most profitable money was the sale of firearms, of which the Liao weapons transaction made a profit of 200,000 yuan, and the Liao Dynasty was handed over to the top and bottom. Liao's attitude towards my Western Xia has changed rapidly, and it should have a lot to do with this person. ”

Li Qianshun snorted coldly: "No wonder there are rumors that Jin Guo Aguta is willing to send the county lord to assassinate him." ”

A civil official said: "It is said that this attack on Western Xia was also instigated by this person. Your Majesty, now that the soldiers everywhere have no desire to fight, it is better to send envoys to negotiate peace. As far as the minister knows, the Song Emperor was not properly seated, and this is a battle for the right position. Now that the results have been received, we should accept them as soon as we meet them. ”

"A butt of debt, a butt of debt." Ouyang looked at the letter given to him by the shopkeeper of Qinzhou Yangping Qianzhuang and smiled bitterly: "I don't know if the emperor can reimburse him." After spending so much money, don't reward a hundred taels of gold. I can't even look down on gold taels now. 100,000 taels to make up for the shortfall. ”

Su Qian laughed and said, "My lord, it's just a small amount of money, and I don't charge you interest." If you really can't do it, you will sell some of your shares in the military factory. How many people are now in the business of the adult military factory. It's me, and I'm wondering if I can get some. ”

"Don't even think about it, I will count on this pension money in the future." Ouyang said: "It's not that you don't know how much money I threw into the military factory when it started, but I only lost money, but I didn't see the income." ”

"That's why I admire you very much. The royal newspaper also suffered a lot of losses in the early days, and the adults persevered. ”

Ouyang said vigilantly: "The royal newspaper is not allowed to make up his mind. If it really doesn't work, I'll mortgage the yamen to your bank. ”

"What do I want the yamen to do?" Su Qian smiled bitterly and used it to open his salary: "Don't worry, my lord, the money village is customized." For customers with fixed income, all loans are provided. ”

Ouyang asked: "One day I am in prison, will you sell my wife?" ”

Su Qian's face turned straight and said: "My lord, if you dare to do this, the ancestral grave will be dug up." Now Yangping people are rich, but they also remember the kindness of adults. Moreover, where the adult's money is spent, it can be seen clearly. In the Western Xia War here, the adults spent a lot of money, but they didn't participate in the good things afterwards, and I admired it very much. Even if an adult has an accident and leaves a lonely widow, if he has to suffer the slightest grievance, Yangping people will not dare to see the adult after death. ”

"The civil official said money, and the military general said death." Liu Qi strode in and hugged his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Su." ”

"General Liu." Su Qian got up and said, "The two adults are chatting slowly, I still have some trivial things to deal with, so I will leave for the time being." ”

Liu Qi retreated left and right and whispered: "The envoy is really here." ”

"What about people now?"

"The chapter bar is buckled."

"Did you shout?"

"I just took it after I reported my identity, and I was surrounded by my people."

"Well, Xiao Yin has already led people to rebel, and General Han has already headed towards the Hexi Corridor. At most, more than a month, you can take Xingqing Mansion. Ouyang asked, "Does that make energy saving?" ”

"The envoy can't, but the deputy brought by the envoy seems to be able to."

"Well, then go ahead with the plan." Ouyang said: "We haven't lost anything, isn't it money?" ”

The deputy envoy brought back Wang Wu beside Ouyang. Wang Wu is full of courage and is from a tent house, so there is no more suitable person than him for this matter. The deputy envoy reported: "Your Majesty, according to what Song Jun said, they sent a liaison envoy to our army and brought the details of the negotiations. ”

Li Qianshun's face changed and asked, "What about Wu Bada!" ”

"......" the deputy envoy wiped his sweat and said: "Lord Wu has betrayed!" ”

Depend on! There is no one, this Wu Bada is the most trustworthy official except for the clan. Li Qianshun asked urgently: "How did you betray?" ”

"The Song army has a list of texts, but the second-grade officials who surrender to the West Xia will be rewarded with two thousand yuan. Lord Wu said that once Western Xia and Song reconciled, he would have no chance to ......"

"...... "It's good to have money, buy whatever you want." Li Qianshun almost bleeds internally, this guy is a person close to him, and the deployment of troops in various places, especially in the capital, is clear. Li Qianshun took two breaths and said, "Xuan Song envoy! "You can't dwell on these things and delay the right thing.

Wang Wu entered the tent and said half-courtesy: "The Great Song Dynasty decreed that Wang Wu see His Majesty." ”

"Excuse, what do you Song Jun want to talk about?"

"My lord Ouyang is the Emperor of Song, and he made a few suggestions. First, negotiate a temporary truce between the two armies, and if Your Majesty agrees, our Great Song Dynasty will immediately send a messenger to keep General Han's troops still. ”

Li Qianshun nodded: "Accurate!" "This is a good thing, Han Shizhong's fifteen thousand cavalry has been his haze in the past few days.

"Second, please Your Majesty to determine the location of the negotiations, Lord Ou means to set up the peace talks in an abandoned village ten miles away from the county."

This village is the central point of the two armies, and Li Qianshun nodded again: "Accurate!" ”

"Third, negotiators, I, the Great Song Dynasty, will send Lord Ouyang Ou to the scene, and Lord Ou hopes that His Majesty will send someone who counts."

"We sent the clan, Li Renzhong, and Li Renli to the talks."

Wang Wu knew that these two people were all night long. He is also good at poetry and writing, and Li Qianshun, who is very committed to Confucianism, likes it, one is named King Pu, and the other is King Shu. And there are real sends. It stands to reason that these two people are no problem, but unfortunately these two people can't be the home of Xixia. Ouyang had explained in advance, so Wang Wu didn't ask any more questions: "Fourth, there are only two retinues on both sides, and they don't have weapons. ”

In fact, Li Qianshun is also very helpless, under Ouyang's money-throwing offensive, he can really rest assured that he is a member of his clan. Li Qianshun agreed with the fourth point: "Accurate! ”

"Fifth, the time for negotiations is set for three days later."

"Three days later?" Li Qianshun asked rhetorically. This delay for one more day is a cost of national strength. It's best to start talking in the afternoon and talk right away.

Wang Wu smiled in his heart, and asked with a little surprise on his face, "Is Your Majesty in a hurry?" If Your Majesty is in a hurry, Weichen can go back and inform your lordship, and change it to tomorrow. ”

"Just three days later." This is a negotiation, and the momentum cannot be weakened.

Liu Qi was looking at a piece of paper in a gloomy room, and not far from him was the bloody Western Xia envoy Wu Bada. Liu Qi threw the paper aside and said, "It's useless for you to say this. Let's put it directly, I need information from Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia. For example, how many garrisons are there now, the position of the garrison, the list of officials, the armed ability of private slaves, the personality of officials, local influential figures, etc., you know what I mean? ”

Wu Bada gritted his teeth and said, "You handed over this information when you sent the envoy to inform Han Shizhong, right?" You don't want peace talks at all, do you? ”

"I don't think you want to recruit at all." Liu Qi instructed: "If someone comes, he will be punished, and every penny of flesh is guaranteed to be cut more than ten times." ”

"Brute, you are still a state of etiquette, the two armies are fighting, and they are not injured, don't you know?"

Liu Qi smiled: "Benevolence, righteousness and morality have been talked about for thousands of years, and the more you talk, the more you suffer, and now you are going to change the way of talking, for the general's heart is not ruthless or poisonous, how to be a general." The benevolent are invincible, you better go and talk to Sage Kong after you die. If I were you, I would really take this thousand guan to the Song Dynasty to be a rich man, so as not to suffer such a crime. ”

Liu Qi went out, Ouyang was leaning outside the house to bask in the sun, Ouyang smiled and comforted when he saw Liu Qi's face: "It's so easy, this is a heavy minister, and it is a Confucian ***, so you always have to be a little patient." Of course, if he hadn't shouted that he was a military minister of Western Xia, he wouldn't have suffered such a crime. ”

Liu Qi said: "I always thought that adults did not approve of the use of big punishment. ”

"If you can use it for the people, you don't need it, but using a big punishment on him is equivalent to saving more than 100 soldiers of my Song army. Besides, it usually costs a little bit to raise it. Ouyang said: "This Li Qianshun is also true, the state of etiquette, does not mean that everyone is willing to be reasonable." Besides, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no such thing as prohibiting the punishment of envoys of other countries. As for what is not harmful, there is no clear rule. ”

"It's to blame him for being too valuable." Liu Qi is an outlier among the Song generals, and he will do anything to pursue victory. He is not afraid of infamy, he is not afraid of gains and losses, and he doesn't even care about his own life. Liu Qi instructed: "Listen, without the warrant of me and Lord Ou, even if the Heavenly Soldiers are coming, they will not be allowed to enter." ”

"Yes!" A cadre of soldiers shouted in unison.

"My lord, two drinks?"

"Okay, we are also planning to negotiate with the Tanguts."
