"I heard that Ali Gu sent an envoy to Western Xia, do you think the Western Xia people will get involved?"

In the busy camp of the Song army, the only ones who can be busy are You Shixiong, the transport envoy, and Tang Ning, who was called by him for questioning.

In addition to Downing, there was also a high-ranking military officer present. Named Miao Lu, it is said that he is the descendant of Miao Jinqing, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and his father is Miao Zhu, the governor of Luzhou, and both father and son are iron-blooded tough guys, and they are also quite famous in the northwest region.

It's just that this time Miao Lu came with reinforcements later, and the command is still in the hands of You Shixiong.

Miao Lu has no opinion on this, but he has a lot of opinions about Tang Ning, he thinks that war is not child's play, and the official family sent Tang Ning to such a stinky hairy boy, is it a little too underestimating the war?

So when You Shixiong threw this question, Miao Lu kicked the ball to Tang Ning with a smile.

"Tang Chan is young and promising, he is rich and has five cars, Tang Chan must know more about these things than the last general."

Tang Ning was very depressed, and since he began to contact people who were officials, he found a problem. Even though he is a civilian and military attaché, he must be a young and promising hat when he sees him.

Some of these people are telling the truth, and like Miao Lu, they are yin and yang.

But as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand, and it's not easy for others to praise themselves so much. So Tang Ning could only say in a muffled voice: "General Miao praises falsely, and his humble position is just luck, and he is appreciated by the officials, so he can get the official job."

As for what is rich and rich, it is all nonsense from others and cannot be trusted. ”

Before Miao Lu could speak, You Shixiong spoke: "What do you care about you, the old man is now asking you to discuss business."

What do you think, quickly talk to the old man and listen. ”

Tang Ning looked at the gloating Miao Xu, and said in his heart that this old guy is not authentic, he is still so bad at his age, and he will fall on his heels sooner or later.

So he pondered for a moment and said: "I thought that the Western Xia people would not be involved, first of all, not long ago, Chong Zhizhou and General Zhi defeated the Western Xia army in Hongdebao, and the thief Liang returned with a feather.

I heard that the Western Xia country has now been divided into two factions, one is the Hou Party, which are all relatives of the emperor, how arrogant and arrogant, and the people are full of complaints.

The other faction is the anti-party led by Liang Yikui, these people oppose the dictatorship of the post-party, and the two sides are in trouble.

The last time the thief woman failed in the royal expedition, Liang Yiqi will definitely seize the opportunity to bite hard. Therefore, when the internal turmoil has not yet stabilized, he believes that Western Xia will not send any more troops to support Aligu. ”

Miao Lu looked at Tang Ning in surprise, he felt that Tang Ning's analysis was not like what a hairy boy with a weak crown in his impression could say.

How did he know that Tang Ning walked the Huanqing Road with his master, and all he met were ruthless people like Zhang, Pu, Fold and Adaptable, and Shidao. From them, Downing learned that you can't look at problems

Just look at the front, take a long-term view, and get used to thinking about the overall situation.

You Shixiong couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw Miao Xu's surprised appearance. Tang Ning's past experience, You Shixiong understands. When the two of them had nothing to do along the way, they chatted and talked, and You Shixiong took out all the things that Tang Ning had done before.

This kid's luck is really good, and there are nobles to help him wherever he goes. When he was a child, the nobleman was his fairy-like master, and when he grew up, there were good officials like Zhou Huai who were friends everywhere to take over his master's plate.

Later, I got the appreciation of Zhang, Chong Pu, which of these two people seems to be with? None of the people who could be sent by the imperial court to the northwest to wrestle with the Tangut people were fuel-efficient lamps.

In this situation, Tang Ning received the best of these people.

They have been fighting for decades, suffered countless losses, and suffered countless beatings to learn the way of thinking, which was taught to Tang Ning.

Glancing at Tang Ning with a smirk on his face, You Shixiong looked up to the sky and sighed, it seems that many people have high hopes for this kid.

"What do you think?" After sighing, You Shixiong asked Xiang Miao.

Miao Lu woke up from the surprise, shook his head and said: "The last general doesn't have the same vision as Tang Zhanzhi, the last general only knows that there are disputes within the western thief, Liang Yikui and the thief woman Liang Clan, who has more soldiers in their hands, and whose waist is straight."

Under such circumstances, neither of them would be willing to divide their soldiers to support Ali Gu. ”

"So you both think that the Tanguts won't support Ali Gu?" You Shixiong's eyes narrowed, as if he had a different opinion.

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Anyway, I think so. ”

You Shixiong nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, the people of Western Xia will definitely not stand up to help Ali Gu."

But have you ever thought that the enemy of my holy dynasty is not a corner of Western Xia? ”

"You mean...... Liao? Miao Lu pondered for a moment and asked uncertainly.

"That's right." You Shixiong nodded, looked at Tang Ning and said, "Tell me, why is the old man jealous of the Liao?" ”

"There is nothing to say, the strength of the enemy is his own weakness, and letting the enemy become strong is tantamount to chronic suicide."

"Well said!" You Shixiong stroked his palms and smiled: "The old man can always hear some incisive words in your mouth, these are all what your ancestor said?" ”

"One percent of what I have learned in this humble position comes from books, one percent comes from the teachings of the master and all the adults, and the other eighty percent is taught by the ancestors.

The transfer makes the adults think that the master is what he says. ”

"I can't sit with him, cook wine and talk about heroes." You Shixiong said with great emotion.

This conversation did not take place between You Shixiong and Tang Ning. Chen Qing, who was in the north, was also convening his staff to discuss the matter. Thousands of miles away in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Zhao Xu is also with Zhang

Talk about it.

When the war reached this point, the opposition from above the court gradually dissipated. Of course, this is also because of the death of Empress Dowager Gao, the old party lost power, and the new party that advocates progress has the right to speak.

Now everyone is no longer thinking about how to stop the war and truce, but thinking about how to pocket the entire Qingtang.

The Liao people will not sit idly by, this is inevitable, they rely on the cavalry, and the plains outside Yanyun Pass to be invincible.

If the Song State mastered the war horse resources, it would mean that their advantage was gone. The Song people's desire to recover Yanyun was never extinguished at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the alliance of the Yuanyuan was just a helpless move.

If the Song people were capable, how could they continue to fulfill this humiliating and fragile covenant?

Therefore, at the end of May, when the Song army, which was on the second line of the north and south of Qingtang, began to march on Shanzhou, the last territory of Qingtang, Zhao Xu also ushered in the expected envoy of the Liao State.

In the palace, the ministers of the Song Dynasty stood on the left and right of the civil and military forces. After a 'Xuanliao envoy to the audience', a burly strong man, dressed in Liao clothes, ascended the hall with two retinues.

Today's Zhao Xu is different from the sick Zhao Xu in Tang Ning's impression, and Zhao Xu in the past always looked very gloomy because of his weak body.

In addition, he has autism himself, so Tang Ning always thinks that this person is handsome, but he always has the aura of a villain.

But now, with the bicycle made by Gong Yihuan, Zhao Xu often rides this thing all over the palace, his body has become much stronger than before, and his temperament has also changed a lot.

When the envoy of the Liao Kingdom saw Zhao Xu, who was sitting at the top with a warm smile, he began to curse his mother in his stomach. Who said that the emperor of the Song Kingdom was not in good health and had to be carried by someone when he walked?

It's no fucking different from a normal person!

also made himself angry with him, saying that if he didn't keep it, he would be able to make the emperor angry on the spot...... I wish I was going to die!

"Brother Er is here, what is the matter?" Zhao Xu asked with a smile.

"Weichen was ordered by Emperor Daliao to visit His Majesty, I wonder if His Majesty's dragon body is okay?"

"Brother Huang is in good health."

"It's so good, my brother is very happy." The messenger cleared his throat, took out a scroll from his sleeve, unfolded it, and read it aloud: "Since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Song Liao has been without soldiers for a hundred years, and this is indeed a major event worth celebrating.

The younger brother sent an envoy to present a congratulatory gift to celebrate this event. ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Brother Yu has also sent an envoy with gifts to visit the imperial brother. ”

The envoy smiled, then his face changed, and he said sharply: "However, on the occasion of the celebration of the whole world, the imperial brother is provoking and invading Qingtang.

As a result, the lives of the people are miserable, and the people are not able to make a living. After thinking twice, Brother Wanghuang withdrew the army, and did not make up and kill in vain to mislead himself. ”
