Under the city of Lingzhou.

The city gate, which had been closed for many days, was finally opened to Gao Xuanshuai, the envoy of the Great Song Xingling, the military officer of the Gou Sixth Road and the Privy Council.

Because it surrendered without a fight, and opened the city without blood. Therefore, the current appearance of Lingzhou City is much more prosperous and lively than any other city that fell into Gao Yu's hands before.

It's even a little too lively!

Outside the famous town Xiongcheng, which was left over from the Tang Dynasty and was once the residence of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty Shuofang Jiedu of the Great Tang Dynasty, many people who changed into Han robes and uniforms, helped the old and the young, stood outside the east gate of Lingzhou City, and looked at the mighty and mighty Great Song Dynasty soldiers from the direction of Dongguan Town.

There were also some party officials and nobles who were about to leave, standing under the tall city gate, looking at the endless army coming from the east, just stunned for a while. Many of them were born and raised in Lingzhou City, and for them, Lingzhou is their hometown. This city was captured by Li Jiqian, the leader of the Dangxiang rebels, in the fifth year of Xianping of Song Zhenzong, and then it was renamed Xiping Mansion and became the base of the Western Thieves. After the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty, Xiping Mansion was still the Tokyo of Western Xia, and it stood side by side with Xijing Xingqing Mansion.

For the party nobles who were born and grew up in Sri Lanka. The Lingzhou they know is from the time when Li Jiqian broke the city, and more than a thousand years before that, it didn't exist at all!

As for the Han people in the city, although they are the majority, they are also the existence that they ignore.

A penny man, that's it!

But now, the Xiping Mansion in Tokyo of the Great White High Kingdom has once again returned to the hands of the Song Kingdom, and it has surrendered without a fight. For the party members in the city, this meant having to leave their homes, but they didn't know where they were going.

In the distance, a black oppressive man appeared outside the east gate of Lingzhou. All of them were black-armored knights, with black scarfs and black leather armor, with black horses under their crotches and black masks on their faces. Although there were only 500 horses in total, it gave people a huge pressure, which made the party members on both sides of the official road secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

The Great Song Dynasty turned out to be such an armored horseman, no wonder he was able to defeat the Iron Harrier of the Great White High Kingdom!

After 500 black-armored knights, it was a banner waving in the wind. Behind the banner, there is another group of knights, all of them are wearing shiny Qingtang Qizi armor, but the formation is not very strict, the first knight, the body is prosperous, the appearance is dignified, a few strands of long hair under the chin, very much the demeanor of a famous general.

This person is Gao Xuanshuai, who was praised as a famous general in a daze, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be satisfied with the current situation, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed to be worried. It turned out that Gao Yu's comrade Pan Xiao'an in Kaifeng Mansion had just sent him a tip-off, saying that there had been a steady stream of impeachments in the imperial history recently. Some say that there is a fountain in his house, some say that his guard dog has horns on his head and has become a rare animal, some say that there is a nyingchi on the pillars of his house, and some people say that the feng shui of his father's grave is so good that it smokes every day......

But these fantasy things are nothing, what really makes Gao Xuanshuai's heart beat is that someone said that he used the house to invite the military heart of the three straight emperors!

That's a serious crime! Invited to buy the military heart, and also bought the military heart of the three straight in front of the emperor! This is the unit under the front division of the palace, responsible for protecting the elite of the official family himself. And the combat effectiveness is still so strong, if Gao Yu is asked to buy the military heart, and when he dozes off when he turns around, he will be covered with a yellow robe, how can it be good? Even if Gao Xuanshuai is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, just like Zhao Dianshuai finally Da Zhou back then, this official family has to do it!

So the impeachment of this old man of the imperial history makes sense even Gao Yu!

"Xuan Shuai! Xuan Shuai! Xuan Shuai ......"

Just when Gao Yu was deeply remorseful for the matter of "inviting the purchase of the army's heart", I don't know who it was, he suddenly shouted "Xuan Shuai", and then more people shouted together, and then the people of Lingzhou on both sides of the official road followed suit.

A hundred years of lost land, now restored, the Han family robes, reappear in Lingzhou!

Although it has been a hundred years since the fall of Lingzhou, it has only been more than 70 years since Li Yuanhao became the emperor and openly embarked on the road of no return for national splitting. Some of the elderly Han people in Lingzhou have been Song people, and some have heard from their late elders about the beautiful era of national unity.

Now, the 100,000 iron army of the Great Song Dynasty has finally driven to Lingzhou City to convince people with virtue.

In the shouting, I saw several Western Xia officials standing at the gate of the city, bowed forward one after another, stopped in front of Gao Xuanshuai's horse, and danced on the ground: "The criminal minister Zhao Renli, Mou Ning Keren, etc., welcome the Great Song Dynasty Wangshi, welcome Xuanshuai!" ”

These Western Xia officials seem to be wearing the wrong clothes today, all of them have wide robes and big sleeves, and they don't look like Hufu no matter how they look. The etiquette performed is also the most noble dance ceremony of the Sui and Tang dynasties and the five dynasties, but the movements are not standard.

Gao Yu was also stunned, what's going on? These officials don't look like thieves in the West? And it's not right to worship yourself, and I'm not an official, how can I afford such a big gift?

"Who are you?" Gao Yu frowned and asked, "Who asked you to come?" ”

The Western Xia official, who claimed to be Zhao Renli and was only in his twenties, immediately replied in fluent Chinese: "The minister is a magistrate sent to Lingzhou by the Jiedu Envoy of the Dingyan Army, and he was ordered by the Jiedu Envoy......"

"Wait!" Gao Yu was surprised and said, "Determine the difficulty of the military festival? Who is it? ”

"It's Zhao Qianshun!"

"Zhao Qianshun, Qianshun ......" Gao Yu was taken aback, and looked at Zhao Renli in front of him, "Why is Qianshun's surname Zhao?" ”

Zhao Renli smiled, "The father of the Jiedu envoy is surnamed Zhao, of course he has to be surnamed Zhao!" ”

"Qianshun's father is ......"

"It's the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!"

What the!? Qianshun is the son of an official family...... Gao Ji's eyes widened, of course he knew that Zhao Ji wanted to be Qianshun's father. But he didn't believe that this could be done, and he didn't have much negotiation with the West Thief about this matter - he just wanted Lingzhou City, and called the minister to call his father or something, which was discussed by Zhang Kangguo and Su Zhe.

Gao Yuxin said: It must have been discussed! It's still Zhang Shuxiang and Su Xianggong who are amazing!

"Okay," Gao Yu nodded, and said with a smile to a few officials of the Dingyan Army who were still kneeling on the ground, "Get up...... Since you are all officials of the Dingyan Army, then you will be ministers of the same palace in the future, and you will all be colleagues, so you don't need to make such a big courtesy. ”

When Zhao Renli heard this, he stood up with a few officials of the Dingyan Army, and then invited Gao Yu into the magnificent "state government" with a smile on his face - the state government arranged by Zhao Renli for Gao Yu was actually the Xixia Palace in Xiping Mansion, which greatly exceeded the system!

Gao Yu also felt that the magnificence was a bit too much, but before he could ask what was going on, he was respectfully invited into a large hall by Zhao Renli and others. Inside and outside the main hall, of course, Gao Yu's henchmen were under the control, they entered the city one step ahead of Gao Yu, and they also entered the palace under the guidance of the officials of the Dingyan Army.

In the hall that Gao Yu entered, the banquet had been set up, and it was the best delicacy that could be obtained in Lingzhou. There are also those who accompany the wine and the beauties who serve, all of whom kneel together, all of which are bright colors of the Western Regions, and they have several different styles.

"Xuan Shuai, these women are all carefully selected for you by my family's festival envoys, but can you still see them?"

"Okay, okay." Gao Yu just responded, and didn't seem to be too interested. It's not that he is not lustful, but what he has is money, the promoter shareholder of Jiehe Commercial City, and the favorite of the official family, will there be no bright colors at home?

After Gao Yu sat down on a chair at the top (this is the seat of the vulture), Zhao Renli presented a gift list with a smile on his face.

"This is a little bit of my family's heart."

took the gift list and looked at it, Gao Yu raised his eyebrows a few times. The gold and silver treasures on the gift list are not eye-catching. Isn't it just money, Gao Yu has it! However, there are ten Western Regions Pegasus and ten Persian horses on the gift list, which is a good thing that money can't buy!

"This is the table that my family's festival envoy gave to the official family, Xuanshuai, you will take a look at it first?"

Zhao Renli presented several more pieces of music, all of which were written in the name of Zhao Qianshun.

"Show it to the official?" Gao Yu was stunned, "It's inappropriate, right?" ”

Zhao Renli smiled: "These few copies, you have to ask Xuanshuai to hand them over, now that the concert officer has not yet arrived in Xingzhou, you are always Xingling Xuanfu, so I can only trouble you." ”

That's right, too! Gao Yu nodded, he is Xuanfu Xingling! Moreover, the Dingyan Army was still a thief not long ago, and the imperial court did not send an official to Xingzhou.

So Gao Yu took the recital and opened it to see, the first recital was a confession and a minister calling his father...... The attitude is very good! The second chapter is to ask for the official land, and want to return the seal letter of the envoy of the Dingyan Army, and also seek the two official positions of the Hexi Jiedu envoy and the Anxi Dadu. And it requested jurisdiction over four towns in six prefectures, including Xing, Liang, Gan, Su, Gua, Sha, Khotan, Shule, Qiuzi, and Shaye.

"Why are there still Khotan, Shule, Qiuzi and Broken Leaves?" Gao Yu felt a little strange, "Isn't that the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"That's also the land of my Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Renli said.

Yes? Gao Yu was stunned, is there such a thing?

Zhao Renli said: "These four towns all fell to Tibet during the reign of Tang Xianzong, but only more than 40 years later, they were recovered by Dabao in the Khotanese uprising. And this great treasure in Khotan is actually the country of China, and it has been loyal to the Celestial Empire for generations. Soon after Khotan restored the four towns, he declared himself a vassal to the Later Jin Dynasty through the Guiyi Army, and the lord Li Shengtian was also named the king of Khotan. In the second year of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the king of Khotan sent an envoy to the court and was also canonized, so it is said to be the land of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just a pity that Dabao was subdued by the Chinese governor in Khotan, the Song Khan, and the Uighur Black Khan during the Zhenzong period. Qadir Khan was destroyed......"

"Wait, Governor of China? Song Khan? Gao Yu stood up abruptly, "What's going on?" Who was so bold as to call himself the Governor of China and the Khan of the Song State? ”
