In this matter, Zhi Jimin and Chen Zhizhong have the same thoughts, and they both think that this is Zhao Yunrang's so-called trap, but they are too stupid and didn't notice it at first, but now they know that it is a little late.

Until now, they didn't know that the real instigator of this matter was the Dragon Empire, the handiwork of Su Shi, the First Emperor of the Dragon, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhang Ao was specifically responsible for the implementation, and Long Yin was responsible for assisting.

Long Yin came to the land of Zhao and Song, as if he had returned home.

There's no language barrier here, and there's a lot to find common ground on.

Soon after Su Shi rebelled out of Zhao and Song, the entire Han land began to raise taxes, and the people were the ones who suffered.

Especially like the land of the West, which was originally very poor, and after years of war, it was good for the people to be able to mix food and clothing. After all, most of the food they received was to be used to provide 600,000 Western troops, and for their own safety, the people had to tighten their belts to get by.

After Long Yin came to the Western Realm, he quickly broke into the common people and used his ability to help the poor as much as possible. In order to give them strong support, Su Shi allocated a lot of money, and Long Yin used the money to buy some grain and distribute it to the people in the west.

The people are the most simple, although they don't understand any big truths, but who is good to them, they can still carry it clearly.

Long Yin is dedicated to the people, and the people regard them as their own, so that among the people, Long Yin already has a certain influence.

This time, after learning that the Western Army was going to send food to Western Xia, Zhang Ao discussed with Meng Youde and decided to make this matter public, which was a good opportunity to attack the prestige of the Western Army. Seeing that after the dragon army defeated the Western Xia, it was necessary to enter from the west, and it became necessary to prepare in advance.

It is precisely because Long Yin is spreading news everywhere that he can make public opinion so big, and in a short period of time, this matter is known to everyone.

Poor Chen Zhizhong and Zhi Jimin, he doesn't even know who the opponent is, he is still guessing here, and he is still scolding his mother here.

Douling in the middle of the night.

The messenger sent by Chen Zhizhong arrived here and learned that Lu Zheng was also here, and in the next moment, Chen Xianggong's handwritten letter was delivered to General Lu.

After frowning and reading the entire content of the letter, Lu Zheng let out a long sigh with a bitter look on his face.

I was calculated.

No! It should be said that the entire top of the Western Army has been calculated.

Now that the wood is in the boat, it is absolutely impossible to bring back the grain and grass from the Western Xia army. If he really dared to do this, it would be tantamount to forcing the Western Xia army to fight with him.

The grain and grass are destined not to be returned, so how do you explain when you go back?

Thinking of the current indignation of the military and civilians in the western border, Lu Zheng felt that one head and two were big. He doesn't even want to go back to Xi'an now, because he doesn't know how to deal with the people there and how to explain it.

Thinking that he couldn't show up now, otherwise it would only intensify the conflict, Lu Zheng, who thought about it again and again, wrote a letter and asked the messenger to bring it back. Probably the content is that he will continue to stay in Douling, temporarily not showing up, when will the matter be less intense, he will go back.

The messenger rested for only half an hour and then rushed back, and the next morning he returned to Xi'an and took out the letter.

After Chen Zhizhong looked at it carefully, he put the letter aside, sighed and said, "It's okay if you don't come back, otherwise, I'm afraid that anything may happen." Now it's up to the court to reply to us, what does this King Pu want to do." literature

......

Bianliang City.

In the palace, Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu, saw the eight-hundred-mile urgent twist sent by Chen Zhizhong, and it was immediately a black line.

He did see that this Chen Zhizhong was a little unpleasant, and when he was still a great sect before, he sent someone to contact him, but the other party did not make a choice between himself and Zhao Zhen, that is, he did not agree or refuse.

This is clearly the performance of the old fox, who wants to see the overall situation and make a decision after it is decided.

Now that he has won, Chen Zhizhong also sent a secret letter a while ago to express his loyalty. It's just the icing on the cake, where is there a charcoal in the snow to make people comfortable?

Now this Chen Zhizhong can ignore Zhao Zhen's life and death and choose to watch from the sidelines, so it is possible to continue to be a spectator regardless of his life or death in the future.

For this kind of duplicitous person, Zhao Yunrang is dissatisfied from the bottom of his bones, and he already wants to replace him. It's just that there is no suitable candidate, and secondly, the position of the Western Army is very important, especially now that Su Shi is attacking Western Xia with the Dragon Army, once he succeeds, he will border the Western Border next, and what will happen at that time, he himself can't predict.

When the situation was so tense, it was not a wise choice to change the commander, so Zhao Yunrang decided to wait a little longer.

But now, the matter of supporting grain and grass for Western Xia has actually spread, which has made the people of the Western Territory complain, so at this time, in order to calm the anger, it is impossible for Zhao Yunrang not to change the commander.

In order to ensure that the western border is not chaotic, this matter must be explained.

He won't give an explanation to anyone, his son is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he do something wrong?

Even if there is a mistake, it is the fault of the people below who do not fully understand their intentions.

"Someone, go and inform Wang Deyong, and General Wang Decheng will come over." After thinking about it, Zhao Yunrang made a decision, he wanted to replace Lu Zheng with Wang Decheng, the general of the forbidden army, and he wanted to replace Chen Zhizhong with Wang De.

This time they were able to successfully solve Renzong Zhao Zhen, and the Wang brothers had made a great contribution, so it was time to reward them.

It is a reward to hand over the 600,000 troops of the whole western frontier to them, and it is also a reward for others to see, as long as they follow in their own steps.

As for Chen Zhizhong, isn't he still holding the position of secretary of the ministry, so let him return to the court first. The position of privy envoy must be taken, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people and the army and civilians in the western border.

There is also Lu Zheng, as a person who personally delivers food, he must also be punished, so he will first take away his position as the general of the Western Army and be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department. I have a chance to look back and observe whether this person is faithful to him, and if so, then he can continue to use it.

If not, forget it, just let him take the blame for this matter.

Zhao Yunrang still made a decision, and dealt with this matter by dividing five by two. Later, the Wang brothers came, and soon the two left the palace happily.

Being able to take charge of the entire Western Army of 600,000 people made the two brothers very satisfied.

Even if they are feudal officials and are in charge of an army alone, they can be much freer. And in the west, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so there is no need to be afraid to do some things, and life is much freer.

Thinking that Chen Zhizhong sometimes didn't bird the orders of the court, they were very envious of it before, but now it's finally their turn, they are going to be the emperor of the soil, how can they not be happy.

Just as the Wang brothers left the palace, a decree was also issued from Bianliang City, heading straight to the west.

......

Xingqing House.

Outside the city, the armies of the king from all walks of life gathered here.

It is worthy of being a place where all the people are soldiers, and in just ten days, 150,000 Western Xia troops gathered outside the city.

It's just that compared with the previous Western Xia elites, these Western Xia soldiers are of different ages, the level of their war horses is also different, and the weapons in their hands are also diverse.

Gu Le was standing in the place of the Chinese army's camp at this time, looking ahead, there was already smoke and dust over there, obviously the army of the Dragon Empire was coming.

The killing of Wu Zang Pang is still being hidden, and soon after the Heavenly Bone Le was released, all the palace guards were transferred, and the remaining ten or so guards felt that something was wrong, but rushed into the side room, and they were shocked to see that Lord Wu Zang was killed.

But before they could spread the news, the lone wolf arrived with the dragon's teeth and killed them all.

The dragon tooth took over the security of the entire palace, and at the same time held Li Liangzuo's mother and son hostage, under the threat of the war knife, there was no Tibetan clan to be afraid

It is the six gods who have no master, and Li Liangzuo, who is only six years old, was also scared and cried, and then in order to live, it was a lone wolf that said anything, and they did whatever they did.

Now, the mother and son are also in the Chinese army, and after showing their faces just now, they entered the tent again, and the dragon tooth is in charge of taking care of them.

He didn't hide the false Pang was in poor health, so he stayed in the palace and didn't come out. In this way, Gule, who held the talisman in his hand, became the commander of the 150,000 Western Xia army.

Concentrating so many Western Xia troops is also the meaning of Su Shi.

The Western Xia were different from the Liao and the Barbarians, they had been fighting with the Zhao and Song dynasties all these years, and they had a feeling of contempt for the Han people from the bottom of their bones.

It will obviously be very difficult for such people to let them return to themselves smoothly.

Even if it is difficult to submit, then kill them directly and hit them hard. Some people are born cheap in their bones, and only when you beat them to death will they be really afraid and obedient.

The 150,000 Western Xia army is also the last force that can be concentrated, as long as they are destroyed, there are not many forces in the Western Xia army that can resist. This is more conducive to future management.

In this way, there is the current formation. It is not so much that these people are gathered to protect the national capital, but that they are gathered for the dragon army to slaughter.

Gu Le rode on his horse, looking at the army of the Dragon Empire that was getting closer and closer, his face remained unchanged, without the slightest hint of panic.

His performance fell in the eyes of others, and it also made them feel at ease.

This is often the case in war, if the commander is scared and timid first, it will have a great impact on the army.

Gu Le behaved so calmly that the 150,000 Western Xia troops became much calmer.
