Huachi Town began to be lively again. ~~~~

The snow and ice in the rivers have not yet melted, and when you pour a puddle of water on the ground at night, you will get up the next morning and the puddle will turn into ice again. But the wind is no longer so steep, and the clouds are getting lower and whiter day by day.

The resumption of large-scale private traders has brought the town back to life.

When Wang Ju entered the city gate, he heard the cries of selling on both sides of the street.

At this moment, Wang Ju also felt a sense of satisfaction, after all, all these changes were produced under his promotion, no matter what the means, the result was good.

However, he did not receive the envoy of Western Xia at the county office, but after coming home, he instructed the official to bring the envoy of Western Xia.

The word band was used.

The two officials understood, and dragged the messenger to Wang Ju's house, and almost pushed him.

"You're Rindola?"

"I am."

"Sit down." Wang Ju said, but there was no need to ask for it.

Renduo Layan also heard about some of Wang Ju's deeds, and the time is not right, the envoys of his own country have returned from the capital of the Song Dynasty, could it be that the edict of the capital of the Song Dynasty has not yet reached Wang Ju's hands? So he was mentally prepared, sat down and arched his hand and said, "By the order of the Son of Heaven of your country, I will take last year's soldiers of the Xia Kingdom home." ”

Wang Ju did not say whether he was or not, but said to Zhong'er: "Do I have any poor tea at home?" ”

"Da Lang, it seems that there is no sigh," Zhong'er replied. In fact, what Wang Ju eats is just ordinary tea, but Zhong'er doesn't know, she uses the tea she eats at home compared with the tea eaten by Wang Ju's family, so what is the poor tea in Wang Ju's house?

"Then put on boiled water, and ask the messenger to eat boiled water."

This time, Rindola understood. You don't deserve good tea. Only serve poor tea. Water.

"Wang Zhixian!" He stood up in anger.

"What's the matter, Zhong'er remembered, in the future, all guests and friends who come to my house will definitely serve the best tea and the best wine, and when the enemy comes, there will only be boiled water."

"Whoa." Zhong'er owes a blessing and said with a grin.

Rindola was furious. But it also became clearer in his heart that although he was mentally prepared, it could be worse than he thought.

"Wang Zhixian, I don't care about your friends and enemies, please return the soldiers of our Xia Kingdom."

"Why do you want to give it back?"

"This is your Majesty's edict."

"Brother Zishen, I said that you remember, and handed me a copy of the recital to the official family, which wrote that there was a scholar named Dongguo in the Jin Kingdom, and he carried a bag of books and rode a donkey to go to Zhongshan to seek an official position. Halfway through, a wounded wolf scurried in front of him. Cry out, I'm being chased by a hunter now. The hunter wounded me with an arrow and almost killed me, so do well and hide me in your bag. When Mr. Dongguo saw that the wolf was pitiful, he hid it in his pocket. The hunter came and asked, and he said he didn't see it. The hunter rode away, and the wolf said in his pocket, "Please, sir, let me out, let me escape." ”

Wang Ju said, Ge Shaohua wrote, and when he finished writing, Wang Ju continued to say: "Mr. Dongguo released the wolf, who knew that the wolf immediately pounced on Mr. Dongguo, and said, since Mr. did good deeds and saved my life, but I am hungry, please do good deeds again, let me eat you." When the first emperor was there, he took out 250,000 taels of silver tea and exquisite cloth every year to help the Xixia people, and took the initiative to open two mutual markets, so that the Xixia people could exchange for scarce materials. However, Xixia is a real Zhongshan wolf......"

"You're bold!"

"Uncle Sangou, hold him, Brother Zishen, continue to write, but the Xixia people are not satisfied, first invaded the Quye River, the first emperor finally saw through the true face of the Western Xia, so he immediately stopped the year, even if the little wolf lord was in charge, the first emperor did not agree to give the year, but looked at his words and deeds, why, once the year was given, the mutual market was reopened, the embarrassing situation of the Xixia was improved, and it immediately became a man-eating Zhongshan wolf again."

"That's not a lie."

"Even if you didn't hide the false Pang and invaded the Quye River, but your Western Xia plundered Qin Feng and Huanqing, killed and plundered tens of thousands of people, and this is the sin that you didn't hide the false Pang? Or is it that the ghost of Pang is not hidden and possessed the body of your Western Xia lord? ”

"You're just a little magistrate, dare to insult our lord?"

"What I respect is a friend, your Western Xia lord has received countless benefits from our Great Song Dynasty, but has repeatedly violated our Great Song Dynasty, why should I respect him? Am I cheap! Wang Ju sneered, and said: "Brother Zishen, continue to write, but since His Majesty succeeded to the throne, for the sake of the friendship between the two countries and the safety of the people, he reopened the mutual market and the year. His Majesty issued an edict asking the ministers to release the prisoners of war, but the ministers did not dare to disobey. However, these prisoners of war were soldiers of Western Xia, and as soon as they were put back, put on armor, took up arms, and came to plunder again. And in this way, His Majesty can still agree to their various unreasonable requests. People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden, which can only make the Western Xia Hui despise our Great Song Dynasty even more, and will bring greater military disasters. If His Majesty must be released, and the minister does not dare to disobey, then he has to be released. ”

Ge Shaohua finished writing.

Wang Ju said: "Rindola, hear me clearly, yes, Your Majesty has issued an edict asking me to release the prisoners of war, but I don't agree with it, so I must write a recital to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty reconsider, if Your Majesty still agrees, I don't need you to send an envoy, and I will also hand over these hateful robbers to you with a sigh of relief." Baasheng, the second eldest son, sent Rindola to the border and asked him to go back to his life. ”

didn't even let him come to the territory of Gyeongju, otherwise this kid might have gone to Gyeongju to find Sun Wei again.

This old puppet doesn't want to be good anyway, who to catch and bite whom, even Wang Ju is somewhat afraid of Sun Wei now.

But Ren Duola was dumbfounded, it seems that Wang Ju is also reasoning, but is he really reasoning? God knows what day it will drag on, and those prisoners of war are doing hard labor every day, and when it is time to release, how many prisoners of war can be released?

Yelong Basheng and Quan's second eldest son sent Ren Duola away.

Li Sangou said: "Will it anger the Western Xia people?" ”

After all, starting a war at this time is very detrimental to Wang Ju. Wang Ju shook his head: "Uncle Sangou, you are wrong, the more this is the case, the more hesitant they are, but they will not invade in the spring." ”

"Why didn't the imperial court transfer Sun Gong away?" Li Sangou said.

"Uncle Sangou, this means that good things are coming." Wang Ju said. He had no way to know the news from the court, but with all kinds of signs, Sun Wei would definitely leave, and the reason why Sun Wei was not transferred was a matter of candidates. But in the face of the 100,000 army of Western Xia, what good candidates can the imperial court come up with? In the end, don't you have to listen to your own opinions?

…………

Cai Ting carefully looked at all the information at hand, including Wang Ju's performance, the map of Huanqing Road, and other related performances, as well as the relevant information transferred from Xifu, including the distribution of troops, armor, and strong men and horses.

Of course, if he is looking for information, the East and West will give him more information, but these materials can only be used for reference, and Cai Ting only roughly flipped through it, and finally put it down and thought for a while.

Zhao Shu asked, "Cai Qing, do you think Western Xia will invade?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are several situations, one is pure plunder, what did the envoy of the Western Xia say that he did not hide the remnants of Pang, that is a borrowed word, when the real lord of the Western Xia country does not know? This is a kind of contempt for the Great Song Dynasty. And plundering also has many benefits, get some rich people and livestock, continue to plunder, our border people lose confidence in the imperial court, some retreat to the rear, so that the front line is empty, some will take the initiative to defect to the Western Xia, can improve the morale of the other side, weaken the confidence of our officers and soldiers. ”

"That's a way of saying it."

"Secondly, it is the deliberate planning and arrangement, including the inexplicable arrogant actions of Wu Zonglai's envoy, Yichen thinks, even if the Khitan envoy comes, it will not be so rude. Use this as an excuse to plunder and probe first, then there may be a conspiracy to invade Gyeongju. In the end, Wu Zong went back to instigate, and the lord of Western Xia listened to his instigation and sent troops to plunder. Seeing that the officers and men on the front line of our DPRK were cowardly and may have become more and more courageous, this is why they have bad intentions, and they may also invade Gyeongju. ”

"Will there be an invasion then?"

"The minister is not on the front line, and it is difficult to identify." Cai Ting replied. He's not stupid, it's hard to answer whether he can or can't.

"If I let you know Gyeongju, in case of an invasion by the Western Xia, can you be sure to repel the Western Xia army?"

This repulsion and defeat are two different things, Zhang Kang Rabbit Maochuan victory, that is called defeat. Miao Jixuan held on to Linzhou City without losing, and forced Li Yuanhao to finally withdraw his troops, which was called repulsion.

Of course, if Cai Ting can defeat the 100,000 troops invading from Western Xia with the strength of Huanqing Road, it will also be a great achievement.

But it's not easy.

Cai Ting was a little hesitant.

can't answer no, that means that he is cowardly, and his career is over.

Can't answer yes, can repel a great achievement, but can't repel it, the situation in Shaanxi has deteriorated in their own hands, and unlike before, they have known it for a long time, which means that it is too big.

Cai Ting hesitated, thought about it, took out some information from this pile of information and looked at it, stared at the map again, and suddenly his heart lit up.

Then he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is really difficult to answer, how many soldiers and horses will be sent by Western Xia, how many brave soldiers and brave generals, and how many grain and grass materials will be carried, will have an impact on the war." However, His Majesty wants the minister to go, and the minister is also willing to smear his liver and brain for His Majesty. ”

But he was thinking in his heart that he had to find that kid when he went to Gyeongju, and he didn't know why he recommended himself to Gyeongju, but judging from the three wars of this kid, he organized an intelligence network, which would be of great use. Anyway, it is to be repulsed, and with the situation network of Da, it should not be difficult to prepare in advance to keep Dashun City and Gyeongju from losing.

"It's commendable," Zhao Shu said happily.

Wang Ju's first trial was passed.

Cai Ting received the order and immediately rushed to Gyeongju, the same as Wang Ju's thoughts, the sooner he arrived in Gyeongju, the more he could understand the situation, and the sooner he could prepare, so that he could confidently repel the invasion of Western Xia. (To be continued!)
