Chapter 290: Zhao Yingluo didn't give a chance
"Revisited? What do you mean......" Wanyan Zongfu looked at Wanyan Xiyin with a slight raised brow.
"Now the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Xia coalition have just won the victory, and their morale is high. And our Jin country was demoralized because of the defeat of the complete face. At this time, if there is a war with Great Xia, it will not be good for us. Wanyan Xiyin analyzed, "And Daxia is located between the Central Plains and Northern Xinjiang, and its geographical location is very important. Why don't we take this opportunity to repair our relationship with Great Xia and fight against the Great Song Dynasty together? β
Wanyan Zongfu fell into deep thought after hearing this, Wanyan Xiyin's words did make sense, but the anger in his heart was difficult to calm: "Although what you said is reasonable, is the enmity between Wanyan and Zhao Yongji just settled?" β
"Revenge will naturally be avenged, but not now." Wanyan Xiyin persuaded, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, why don't we be patient and wait for the opportunity?" β
Under the persuasion of Wanyan Xiyin, the anger in Wanyan Zongfu's heart gradually subsided. He took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass on the table again, and drank it down, "Okay, just as you say. Let go of Daxia for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to take revenge! β
The inner hall of the Great Xia Imperial Palace
Li Qianshun sat on the dragon chair and listened to the ministers' reports on the situation and future plans in various places, and felt extremely relieved in his heart. He knew that his decision had been supported by the majority of the people, and that the future of Great Xia had become brighter because of these decisions.
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and his decision-making is thousands of miles!" One minister said excitedly, "The success of resolving the crisis with Daikin and maintaining friendly relations between the two countries this time depends on Your Majesty's wise decision!" β
The ministers echoed and praised one after another, and Li Qianshun smiled and waved his hand to signal them to be quiet: "This is all the credit of the Qing family, I am just pushing the boat down the river." β
The inner hall of the imperial palace of Kaifeng City of the Great Song Dynasty
Zhao Yingluo sat on the throne, her eyes were deep, like a lake in autumn, with a bit of coldness, but also hidden imperceptible waves.
When she heard the news in the recital that Li Qianshun had returned Wanyan to Jin Jun, her brow furrowed slightly, as if a breeze was passing on the calm lake.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Li Qianshun's move is obviously against the agreement between our two countries." One of the ministers said indignantly, his face full of anger.
Zhao Yingluo didn't respond immediately, her gaze slowly swept over the bodies of the ministers in the hall, as if assessing everyone's thoughts. She knew that this decision was not only about her personal honor, but also likely to affect the future pattern between the Great Song Dynasty and Great Xia, and even the Jin Kingdom.
"Spread the will of the orphan and ask Li Qianshun for the blame." Zhao Yingluo's voice was firm and powerful, and her words revealed unquestionable determination.
Half a month later, Li Qianshun sat at his desk, holding Zhao Yingluo's edict of questioning guilt in his hand, reading it carefully, every word seemed to weigh like a thousand pounds, pressing on his heart.
"Your Majesty, how shall we respond?" Seeing that Li Qianshun was silent, the little eunuch couldn't help but ask softly.
Li Qianshun took a deep breath, he knew that he had to give Zhao Yingluo a reasonable explanation. So, he wrote a reply letter and poured out his distress and worries one by one.
Zhao Yingluo unfolded Li Qianshun's reply, her gaze quickly swept over the letterhead.
In the letter, Li Qianshun explained in detail the reason why he had to return the Wanyan Folded Combination to the Jin Armyβthe Great Xia Kingdom was weak and weak, and if the Jin State was angered by the Wanyan Fold, it would probably lead to the destruction of the country. His words were full of helplessness and pleading.
After Zhao Yingluo finished reading the letter, the anger in her heart calmed down a little.
She understood that Li Qianshun's situation was indeed difficult, but this could not completely offset his fault.
"The edict told Li Qianshun that Gu understood his difficulties, but since the Great Song and Great Xia were allies, they should be in the same boat." Zhao Yingluo said in a deep voice, "Order him to raise a large army, and join Wang Zaixing to encircle Yan Zongfu in Xiazhou, and make the merit for his crimes." β
After Li Qianshun received Zhao Yingluo's will, he felt both relieved and pressured in his heart. He understood that Zhao Yingluo was giving him a chance to atone for his sins, but at the same time, he also pushed Daxia to the forefront.
"Your Majesty, how shall we behave?" A minister asked worriedly.
Li Qianshun stood up and walked to the map, his gaze stayed on the location of Xiazhou for a long time: "Pass the decree and order our army to immediately reorganize the troops and horses and join Wang Zaixing to encircle Xiazhou." β
"But Your Majesty, can we really compete with Wanyan Sosuke?" Another minister said worriedly, "After all, the Jin Kingdom has a strong army, and if we act rashly, I am afraid that we will invite a catastrophe." β
Li Qianshun turned to look at the minister, his eyes flashing with determination: "I know that the stakes are very high, but this is our chance for Great Xia to wash away the shame and restore the prestige of the country. Moreover, compared with the Jin Kingdom, we can't offend the Great Song Dynasty. β
The armies of Bactria were quickly assembled, and after they joined forces with the armies of the Great Song, they formed a powerful coalition. The morale of the soldiers was high and the morale was high, and they were eager to make a difference in this battle.
Wang Zaixing was dressed in armor and armed with a spear, and his figure looked particularly heroic in the afterglow of the setting sun. He stood on a high place overlooking the entire barracks, and his heart was full of pride and ambition.
"Soldiers!" Wang Zaixing shouted loudly, "This battle is related to the rise and fall of Great Xia and Great Song Dynasty!" We must unite and fight to kill the enemy! Defend this land and our dignity with our blood and lives! β
After hearing this, the soldiers were excited and enthusiastic, and they waved their weapons and shouted slogans, and the sound shook the sky.
Wanyan Zongfu sat in the big tent and listened to the spies' report, his face became more and more gloomy. He knew that Li Qianshun had already prepared to encircle him with the Great Song Dynasty coalition army, which made him feel unprecedented pressure.
"It's all about that waste! actually gave Li Qianshun a chance to join forces with the Great Song Dynasty! Wanyan Sosuke gritted his teeth and scolded. The anger in his heart for Wanyan Folded burned again, if Wanyan Folded hadn't been wiped out, maybe they would still have a chance to fight back now.
But the reality is cruel, and Sosuke Wanyan must face the predicament in front of him. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Pass the order, strengthen the city's defenses, and prepare for battle." β
As night fell, the coalition camp was brightly lit and full of people. Some of the soldiers were sharpening their knives, some were inspecting their equipment, and some were discussing tactics...... They are all making final preparations for the battle to come.
Li Qianshun walked into the camp in military uniform, and his arrival made the soldiers even more excited. They gathered around to salute Li Qianshun, and Li Qianshun also responded to them with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Zaixing greeted him, "Everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow dawn to launch an attack." β
Li Qianshun nodded: "Okay!" The stakes are high, and we must succeed in one fell swoop! Go back and tell the soldiers that you must go all out and kill the enemy bravely in the battle of tomorrow! β
