Chapter 13: The Feather Flying Talisman (2)
[Yesterday there was something out of the day, this morning to catch up, there are two more in the morning. 】
After a few words with Ye Xiaoma, the covenant and follow-up plan were decided, Ren Duo Lingding stopped, and looked back at the generals with foreign surnames following behind him, "Everyone, now that Daxia is dead, if you want to fight and rescue, that is the matter of the famous family of the Tuoba clan." Our party Xiang Qiang has to think of his own way out. I have made a covenant with the Duke of Rindo, and from now on, we will advance and retreat together. I wonder if you would like to discuss countermeasures with the next two? ”
Finally waiting for the two leaders to speak, a group of generals who are usually majestic and majestic, are now scrambling one by one.
"May it be from the orders of the two privies."
"But obey the orders of the privy."
A group of party members who don't know where the road ahead is, they are still a little afraid of the result after surrendering to the Great Song Dynasty, if they can form a group with the Renjia family and the Ye family, they can also feel at ease.
As a member of the generals with foreign surnames, Ren Duo Lingding has a very clear understanding of this kind of psychology, and said with a smile: "From now on, there will be no privy secrets, just like in the past, all departments sit together to discuss and discuss, and sum it up." Drink some wine, eat some meat, and the matter will be settled. In the end, our party and people have to find the safest way out. ”
Ye Xiaoma also said: "When the time comes, the big guys will advance and retreat together, so as not to be bullied." ”
A group of people nodded their heads, where are there two words.
"Captain Li." Ye Xiaoma raised his voice and greeted Li Qing, who was silent, "Let's go and sum it up, and when the time comes, we can take care of each other." ”
Li Qing arched his hand and smiled: "My Han army should advance and retreat with you. However, there is still urgent business in the lower camp, and when it is properly arranged, I will come to join you in the grand event. ”
After coldly watching Ren Duo Ling Ding and Ye Xiaoma discuss privately, he swaggered and summoned the generals with foreign surnames to go to the camp of Ren Duobu to discuss matters together. Li Qing rejected Ye Xiaoma's invitation, got on the horse, and went straight to the outside of the gate.
He is a Han Chinese, and after voting for the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need and should not be close to the party members. According to the past practice of the Great Song Dynasty, in the future, the Han people taken away by various party departments will have to be ransomed, and when the time comes, there may be chaos for a while, and it will only be bad to advance and retreat with them.
And now the most important thing is to master the army. Party members don't have to worry, use the relationship between blood and marriage, so that Renduo Lingding, Ye Xiaoma and others can firmly control the army of their own clan. But his own military power comes from the official position of Western Xia, and now that the defeat of Western Xia is imminent, ambitious people will definitely be tempted to do it at this time.
Li Qing didn't know if the arrangements he had arranged before he came out could be stable enough that he rushed back to the camp, so he was so anxious that he waved his whip again and again, and went straight to the Han army camp with hundreds of personal soldiers.
And Ren Duo Ling Ding and Ye Poma also left the main camp of the Chinese army after Li Qing, and together with more than a dozen party generals, they turned to the main camp of the Ren family.
……………………
"It's all gone......"
Wei Mingji gritted his teeth and looked around the tent. In the empty tent, there are either people with the surname or in-laws with the name. There is no longer a general with a foreign surname, that is, Li Qing, a Han man, who also took the opportunity to run away.
"Captain." Liang Yibury sighed, "The trees are falling and scattering, and the hearts of the people are scattered, there is no way to do it, let's think about how to deal with the current situation." ”
Wei Mingji's eyes pressed over: "The queen mother hangs the curtain, and the minister of the country governs." The affairs of the Great White Hair Kingdom are all in the hands of the two of you. Whose responsibility is it in today's situation? ”
The Liang brothers and sisters can control the power of the country, one is that they control the country's ruling system, and the appointment and dismissal power of the local ministers is within their words, and at the same time, the military power of the six classes of the Imperial Garden and the three thousand sanitation iron cavalry are also in their hands.
In addition, another important reason is the support of famous artists. Especially after Bingchang was in power, he acted perversely, killed important ministers, and exploited a large number of livestock to send to the Liao, which aroused the extreme disgust of the clans towards him, which led to the Liang family imprisoning Bingchang and re-obeying the government.
But what the Liang brothers and sisters brought back was the end of the country's ruin, even though the Wei family still had more than one-third of the strength in the Western Xia, but with the career made by Taizu back then, the Liao and Song people would only suppress and purge them, in case there was another Li Jiqian, and there would never be any preferential treatment.
From the high-ranking clan to the lost dog, such a gap is unbearable for anyone.
"The rivers and mountains laid down by Taizu, Taizong and Jingzong are all destroyed in the hands of your Liang family!" Wei Mingji complained loudly.
Empress Dowager Liang was about to attack, but Liang Yibury hurriedly took a step forward and sighed with a bitter face, "The country is so strong, and it is difficult to escape the blame." But if it weren't for the treachery of the Liao people, the situation would not be like this. Lingzhou also won, and Yanzhou also fell, if it weren't for the Liao people's secret cold arrows, they would still be able to hold on. ”
"Who is it who agrees to marry the Liao?!" Wei Mingji shouted loudly.
Liang Yi angrily defended with Wei Mingji: "Even if you don't marry the Liao, Great Xia can't resist the simultaneous attack of Song and Liao." When the time came, the Song people marched westward, and the Liao people took the opportunity to go south, but they still couldn't resist it. ”
Wei Mingji roared viciously: "Without 30,000 horses and camels a year to pay tribute to the Liao State, the country will decline so much?!" ”
Although this was the amount of tribute set by the child when he was in power, there were few people in the court at that time who objected. How can the blame be put on the head of his Liang family now. Liang's tiger face, in her eyes, Wei Mingji is no longer reasonable.
She couldn't help but retort; "What about the decline of the country? Didn't we beat the Song people and run away in embarrassment before? Didn't you capture Yanzhou yet? It's Liao, isn't it that we are being held back by the Song people, and he dares to enter our country for half a step?! ”
"If the Queen Mother really has the courage, then go back to the division to attack Liao!" Wei Mingji's words made Empress Dowager Liang more confirmed her judgment.
Liang Yi buried his patience and persuaded Wei Mingji bitterly: "Hanhai is behind you." If you want to go back, it is not impossible to do your best and not care about the damage of the war horse. But if the war horse is lost, can the Iron Harrier still compete with the Liao? Even with a steel knife in his hand and iron armor on his body, it is nothing without a horse. ”
"Who said it couldn't be stopped? Before entering Xingling, there was also a pass of Keyimen [now south of Wuhai City, Ningxia]! In the dangerous place sandwiched by the three mountains, it is not so easy for the Liao people to break through! ”
"The emptiness of the spirit is known to all. After the Liao army broke through the northern defense line of Montenegro, there was no other obstacle to Xingling except for a pass at Keyimun. And the only remaining more than 1,000 old and weak remnants of the Chaoshun Army Division in the right wing of the Keyi Gate can stop at least tens of thousands of Liao troops? It's impossible! Now it can come in handy, and the soldiers here in Yanzhou are the soldiers, if you fight these soldiers again, you won't even have a place to stay! ”
The Liao people occupied Xingling and Montenegro, the Song people occupied Yinxia and Hexi, and there was only one Yanzhou left in the land of the Great White Country except for the desert and mountains. To reclaim any of them, you need the support of the other side. Now the Liao State is clearly determined to divide the Western Xia with the Song people, and even if the Song people are dissatisfied, they will still agree to it after all. With such a current situation, Liang Yi can't afford to fight at all.
And his attitude made Wei Mingji's eyes more and more gloomy, "If you don't dare to fight to the death, you can abdicate and make way for Xian, the national fortunes of the Great White Country should still be in the hands of my Wei Mingjia." ”
Empress Dowager Liang became more and more angry when she heard this, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Wei Mingji, are you going to do the opposite?!" ”
'Oops! Liang Yibury was shocked, this sentence can't be said!
Before he could say anything to ease up, Wei Mingji had already laughed grimly, "Do it back? …… It's long overdue! ”
Liang Yi buried it so as not to be colorless, and the Empress Dowager Liang pointed at Wei Mingji and asked angrily to the other generals present: "You just watched him go crazy?!" ”
No one replied, and the generals of the famous family were silent, with a heavy light shining in their eyes, which made people feel cold.
Seeing that they didn't react at all, Liang finally panicked, and shouted to the outside world: "Come on, come on!" ”
Wei Mingji took out the waist knife from his waist expressionlessly. Today's military meeting was held in a hasty meeting of the generals and in the barracks. None of the weapons worn by the generals were collected before they were accounted for. This negligence came in handy.
Empress Dowager Liang hissed and shouted for people outside to come in, her throat was broken, but there was no response. And Liang Yi buried it so bitterly that he burst into tears.
Wei Mingji's heart did not waver at all, holding a steel knife, and the killing intent was condensed: "Please also ask the two of you to go on the road!" ”
……………………
Coming out of the camp of the Chinese army, Li Qing returned to his camp as quickly as possible.
There was no hesitation in betraying the Western Xia for him, and the people below would support his decision, and the Han people in the Western Xia had always been the object of oppression, and the taxes and errands were all ranked first in the front. Not many people have any nostalgia for Western Xia. Even if they break the law and escape underground, as long as a letter of pardon can make them immediately leave the skin of Western Xia. Especially under the current situation, the Han army under his command will not support continuing to be enemies of the Song people. Defecting to the Great Song Dynasty was the common choice of the Han army.
The only thing to worry about now is that someone made their own decision and led someone to defect to Cheng first. The more than 4,000 Han troops were the foundation of Li Qing's foothold in the Great Song Dynasty, and they were also the capital for him to fight for his own interests. The number of troops determines the rank of the official after the surrender. If there are much less, not only will the official position be a few levels lower, but it will also be regarded as a mediocre general who will not rein in the hearts of the army, and it will be even more difficult to come out in the future.
Li Qing rode fast all the way, but only when he reached the gate of the camp did he slightly restrain his speed. At the gate of the camp, there were more than a dozen soldiers standing high and low, and the leader of them was the martial nobleman whom Li Qing valued the most in recent years.
