Chapter 806: 200,000 Golden Soldiers Aid Song
Just like other people in this era, this Lord Ren Dejing, after seeing Ludia, couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "You are an official of the Chinese Empire?" ”
In the past few years, Ludia has been accustomed to seeing envoys from various countries, so she also knows what these people are thinking, and immediately said without humility or arrogance: "Hello envoys of Western Xia, I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, Ludia. ”
Although Ren Dejing knew that the other party would not joke on this kind of issue, he still asked distrustfully: "This Lu... Lord Ludia, can you, on behalf of the Chinese Empire, come to negotiate an alliance with our Western Xia Kingdom? ”
Seeing that the envoy of Xixia repeatedly questioned Ludia's identity and the female guard who was responsible for protecting her, he shouted coldly: "Presumptuous! In front of you is the Imperial Roman Princess, who is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs! ”
"Imperial Princess?" After Ren Dejing heard Ludia's identity, he could be regarded as facing up to this exotic and stunning beautiful woman who came to negotiate with him.
Ludia didn't want to have an argument with this Western Xia envoy over a trivial matter, so after the two sides sat down, she asked directly to the point: "May I ask the envoy, what is the matter of coming to my empire this time?" ”
"I am here to the empire, in addition to showing respect to the emperor on behalf of the lord of the Western Xia, there is also a good thing for you and me to benefit each other, and I want to discuss with your country."
Ren Dejing spoke, and took out a map drawn on silk in his hand.
Unfolding this map depicting the border areas between the Song Kingdom, the Chinese Empire, and the Western Xia Kingdom, Ren Dejing said: "I heard that the imperial army attacked the Song Dynasty, and I, the Western Xia, am also willing to send troops to attack the Song State. Therefore, my lord specially ordered me to come here to discuss the alliance between the two countries and the distribution of the territory of the Song Kingdom. ”
"Hehehe......" Hearing the words of the Western Xia envoy, Ludia couldn't help but sneer.
She stretched out her small white hand, pointed to Qin Feng Road and Yongxing Military Road on the map, and said, "Your Western Xia Kingdom sent troops at this time, probably because you want to get Qin Feng Road and Yongxing Military Road, the two state capitals of the Song Kingdom, right?" ”
"No!" Ren Dejing objected: "If your country is willing to form an alliance with my Western Xia, then the Qinfeng Road bordering your country's Sichuan Province naturally belongs to you, and the Western Xia only needs the Yongxing Military Road." ”
Ludia asked noncommittally: "Envoy of Western Xia, I have something unclear, I wonder if you can solve my doubts?" ”
"Imperial Princess, excuse me."
"Now the five major armies of our Chinese Empire are attacking the Song State in unison, and the famous general of the Song State has retreated to defend Ying Tianfu after suffering heavy losses, and another general of the Seed Master has been captured alive. Now that our imperial army has occupied the capital of the Song State and will take the entire territory of the Song State in the near future, in this situation, can you give me a reason why we must cooperate with the Western Xia? ”
Ren Dejing had long thought that the people of the empire would have this problem, so he pointed to the north of the map, the vast and powerful Jin country.
"The affairs of the Western Xia, Song, Jin, and the Goryeo Alliance, I guess your country has known about it for a long time, right?"
"Hmm." Ludia didn't deny it.
Ren Dejing glanced at Ludia deeply, and was still a little surprised in his heart, although the Song Kingdom had already broken out about the Song-Jin Alliance, there were not many people who really knew about the secret alliance of the Four Kingdoms.
"Lord Ludia, I estimate that since your country already knows about this, it must have made a plan to deal with it, but there is one thing that you will definitely not know."
"Oh?" Ludia didn't want to be too curious, she took a sip of the fragrant tea on the case, and said proudly: "The Imperial Intelligence Agency has sources everywhere, and even the daughter of the Lord knows everything about how she is doing in the Western Xia Palace, what else do we don't know?" ”
Ludia's words are a bit heart-wrenching, after all, it is not a glorious thing for Ren to offer a woman to seek an official, and this also means that the empire not only has a lot of secret spies in the Western Xia Kingdom, but also has the ability to threaten some important people.
There is a saying that if the country is strong, it will be strong, and if the country is weak, it will be short of breath!
Although anger rose in Ren Dejing's heart, he did not dare to show it, so as not to anger the powerful Chinese Empire.
Ren Dejing, who swallowed his anger, suppressed his personal emotions and said a shocking news: "The Jin State has decided to send troops to the Song State, and the five major legions of your country will soon face a large number of Jin iron cavalry!" ”
"What!" Ludia, who has never looked down on this envoy from Western Xia, was really shocked.
Although after taking over the Imperial Intelligence Department, the Octopus Spider Varys, with the full support of Li Nan, built the Intelligence Bureau more and more powerful, and spread all over the world, but after all, it was still created for a short time, and it still had flaws in many aspects.
In terms of the coverage of the low-level secret spies, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau can be said to be the strongest in the world, but in countries like Jin and Western Xia, the newly trained secret spies, because the installation time is too short, they can't get the core secrets at all.
Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, was very close to the Liao State back then, and once married Yelu Nanxian, the princess of Cheng'an of the Liao State, as the queen, so he had a close relationship with the Liao State.
After the Liao State was destroyed by the Jin State, the Western Xia turned to the Jin State, and many old people who had old ties with Li Qianshun also served in the Jin State, so the Silver Harrier of the Western Xia obtained this news that few people know now.
Thinking of the five legions who still didn't know anything about the attack of the Jinren, Ludia realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately got up and said, "Lord Ren, thank you for your news, this matter is very important, and I must report it to the emperor immediately." ”
Seeing that the news of himself finally attracted the attention of the empire, Ren Dejing was proud, and said with a look of understanding: "That's right, Lord Ludia, please." ”
Ludia didn't say anything more, and quickly led people out of the hotel.
After learning the news, Li Nan immediately summoned the imperial ministers and began to discuss this unexpected matter.
After learning about the Four-Power Alliance from the Goryeo people, the ministers also discussed the possibility of the Jin State sending troops to aid the Song State, but everyone thought that the Jin people were most likely to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for the Song State and the empire to hurt each other, and no one expected that the Jin people would really send troops and horses at the moment.
The main force of the Jin State is the cavalry, and Li Nan once personally led the elite of the empire to fight against the second prince of the Jin State and his 70,000 iron cavalry on the Yellow River
At that station, although it was Li Nan who defeated Wanyan Zongwang in the end, it was actually a trick, if the two sides really fought to the end, the imperial army would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
In this era, it can be said that the cavalry is the most restrained Imperial musketeer, and if the attack intensity is not reached enough, as long as the Jin Iron Cavalry rushes into the infantry array of the Imperial Army, it will be a disaster.
The Imperial Army won more battles with the Song State and lost less, and the scarcity of Song cavalry troops was also one of the important factors, but now that the Jin State, which had a large number of cavalry, participated in the war, the situation became serious.
