Chapter 1193: Goryeo Uses Soldiers
The peace talks with the Liao State were still going on, and Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce had been busy with these things, and before they knew it, three or five days had passed like this.
The two sides argue for each other's interests until they agree to each other.
And at this time, news suddenly came from the border pass of Liao, saying that Goryeo had used troops.
Goryeo used troops against the Liao State, this is really an unheard of thing, and the weak and disdainful Goryeo dared to use troops against the Liao State.
After the matter quickly spread throughout Shangjing, Hua Lang and Bao Zheng smiled indifferently and said, "It seems that the Liao Kingdom has really had a lot of twists and turns in the past few years!" ”
"They are constantly in internal and external strife, but it is the best thing for our Great Song, what do you say, Brother Bao?"
Bao Zheng nodded: "Now that there is a war between Liao and Goryeo, we have a lot more right to speak!" ”
Hua Lang smiled, if the Liao State really asked for the Song Dynasty, it would naturally release a lot of benefits, but from Hua Lang's point of view, I am afraid that there will not be many of them, because they need benefits too much, so they will definitely pursue them unremittingly for the sake of interests, and the poor people's desire for wealth is much stronger than the rich people's desire for wealth.
At this time, the Liao State was such a poor person.
It's just that when Hua Lang was thinking about these things, he felt that there was one thing that was very strange, that is, how could a small country like Goryeo dare to use troops against the Liao State, although that Wenzong was a rare saint king in Goryeo, he would not have too majestic ambitions.
Hu Weiqing hadn't been to the post house for two days, and now that the Liao State was preparing for war, the peace talks had been handed over to some officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he was helping to make suggestions.
But two days later, Hu Weiqing came suddenly, and after he came, he smiled at Hualang: "This time, I'm afraid there will be trouble for the playboy again." ”
Hua Lang smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, no matter how Hu Weiqing troubled him, he was not ready to help Hu Weiqing in any way, because he didn't want to be used anymore.
After seeing Hua Lang's smile, Hu Weiqing suddenly felt very embarrassed, but soon, he hurriedly smiled and said, "The playboy is still angry about what happened before?" ”
"There, that's your Liao State's own business, but I, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, don't dare to interfere too much, Lord Hu, don't you say?"
Hu Weiqing's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "The playboy said that, I was wrong last time, I didn't tell you the plan in time, and I ask the playboy to forgive me, I came this time, mainly to ask the playboy for help." Now that Goryeo and my Da Liao are using troops, the playboy must have heard about it, right? ”
Hua Lang nodded: "I heard, but in my opinion, Goryeo is only a small country, and the army is very weak. ”
Hu Weiqing's face was even more ugly, he didn't expect Hua Lang to seal all the words he wanted to say, in fact, he came this time, to ask Hua Lang to help train the troops, before Hua Lang took the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses to take down the Xingqing Mansion in one day and one night, they all know that they can't reach that kind of speed, and now with Goryeo, they can just use this to train their own army, so as to improve their combat effectiveness.
But now that Hua Lang has said so, what else can he say?
But Hu Weiqing is not a stupid person after all, at this time, he smiled slightly: "What the playboy said is right, in fact, we are not worried about the border troubles of Goryeo at all, because it was not launched by Goryeo Wenzong at all, but the prince in Goryeo failed to rebel, and then he wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape, so he thought of my Liao country to seek refuge, but our Liao country is not now involved in foreign government affairs, so he refused, and as a result, the group of people was mad, and when they heard that we refused, they wanted to send troops to my Da Liao, It's as if some of his soldiers and horses can threaten my Daliao, and we don't care about it at all. ”
Hua Lang smiled and nodded: "I see, since you don't care at all, what is Lord Hu going to help with?" ”
"This ......" Hu Weiqing was embarrassed again for a while, and it was only at this time that he felt how uncomfortable it was to sin Hualang, he knew very well that this was just Hualang wanting to make him a little ugly, if Hualang really wanted to deal with him, he was only afraid that he would die many times earlier.
After Hu Weiqing figured this out, he was relieved, and smiled: "Let the playboy help, naturally it is related to peace talks, and now I have constant domestic and foreign troubles in Liao, so this has some benefits, and please be merciful to the playboy and Lord Bao!" ”
It's not easy to talk about the use of troops abroad, so Hu Weiqing had no choice but to shift the topic to the matter of peace talks, Hua Lang naturally knew that he forced Hu Weiqing to do this, so after hearing Hu Weiqing's words, Hua Lang shrugged: "The affairs of the two countries are naturally fought for each other's interests, as long as your Liao State does not have a war with my Great Song Dynasty, we don't mind giving you some benefits, Brother Bao, is that so?" ”
At the beginning, Bao Zheng had been sitting there listening to the conversation between Hua Lang and Hu Weiqing, and now that Hua Lang mentioned himself, he smiled and nodded: "My Great Song Dynasty is not a dynasty that likes to fight, but we will never allow others to use force on us, our Great Song Dynasty is rich in materials, but we will not cheapen others casually, Lord Hu has been in the court for many years, and he should have the same idea as us, if you want to gain benefits, you have to pay the price, what do you say Lord Hu?" ”
Hu Weiqing's cheeks were a little red, he suddenly realized that it was a mistake for him to come here today, he thought that he had taken advantage of Hualang before, and then he could continue to take advantage, but he didn't expect it, in fact, it was just that others didn't care about you.
For Bao Zheng's words, Hu Weiqing nodded again and again, and then said something about peace talks with him and left in a hurry, Liao Xingzong asked him to talk to Hualang about military training, and now there is no result, he must reply to Liao Xingzong as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay the use of troops to the Goryeo rebels, but it will be troublesome.
Since Hua Lang refused to help, then their Da Liao's iron cavalry would have to fight on the battlefield again.
In this world, many things are not something that others can help you, and in the end, what you have to do is still rely on yourself, Hu Weiqing hurried to the palace, thinking about how to explain these things clearly to Liao Xingzong, how to not make Liao Xingzong angry, but also solve the problem.
The autumn wind tightened a little, Hu Weiqing tightened his clothes, and couldn't help but speed up his pace again.
And just when Hu Weiqing rushed to the palace like this, a piece of news was coming from the border pass to the capital, and this news overturned all their plans.
