Chapter 141: Fiction and Reality
Wan Yan Xian was already a little drunk, and at first glance, Zhao Ta was also excited, he had never considered this problem before. The Jurchens are the inheritance method of the elder brother and the younger brother, and after the Agu fight, it should be queued to Wu begging, and then it is his turn, the eldest brother has nothing to say to himself, and he handed over the military power of the whole country to himself. And Wu Qimai has almost never participated in any major wars, and his military exploits are even less, and he has always been hidden behind the scenes, showing his brother his home.
Among the Jurchens who started as a horse archery and judged heroes by their military exploits, how much weight can Wu Qimai have? It is almost negligible, but he has led his troops to fight abroad since the day he rebelled against Liao, and no one can compare with himself in his military exploits. If you really wait for the day when Wu Qimai ascends the throne, he will definitely be regarded as the biggest threat by him, and it will be good to win him over, and the biggest possibility is that, as Prince Yan said, the military power will be gradually withdrawn, and then he will be placed under house arrest in Beijing, and whether he can turn over depends on his lifespan.
"What is Prince Yan's plan?" Wan Yan Xian also thought about it and asked.
"This king has thought about it a long time ago, it's nothing more than being confined in the mansion, so I can still go around now and hurry up to get more money, but my father is in the prime of spring and autumn, don't worry!" Zhao Ta whispered, "But I heard that your imperial brother's personal expedition failed!" ”
"What?! Brother Huang is defeated! Wan Yan also stood up suddenly and said excitedly, startling the people in the hall.
"Don't worry, Du Shuai, this king has just received a battle report, Datong and Yuanzhou have withdrawn their troops to Fengshengzhou, and Xijing Road is controlled by the party and Yelu Yuxuan!" Zhao said.
"How could this be, I knew that I should have killed Yelu Yu today to avoid future troubles!" Beguru said angrily.
"How is my royal brother?" Wan Yan Xian also sobered up a lot. During this time, he was isolated from the outside world and could not get any news from the battlefield. At first glance, I can imagine the failure of the pro-campaign.
"It's not very clear how this king is, according to the party members we captured. Your emperor was wounded by a stray arrow and fell from his horse during the attack on Yuanzhou, and then the army retreated, being pursued and killed by the Texas army, and suffered heavy losses! Zhao Tan sighed and said sympathetically.
"The imperial brother is injured, but his life is endangered?" Wan Yan Xian also asked anxiously.
"This king really doesn't know, but because of this, he withdrew his troops and wanted to come... Alas! Zhao Ta shook his head and sighed, the words have already been said, as for how you understand it, it is your problem.
"That must be more than lucky!" Beguru gave his opinion.
"No, it won't. Brother Huang won't die! Wan Yan also glared at Beguru and said, but the hand holding the wine bowl trembled involuntarily, and the wine spilled on the table without knowing it.
"Your lord Ji people have their own natural appearance, the wind and waves have come over, how can they capsize in the small river ditch, those party members may also be hearsay, with false rumors, sensational!" Zhao Ta hurriedly comforted.
"Lord Yan, Ben Shuai has a reluctant request. Can you let me go? Wan Yan Xian also quickly calmed down and said to Zhao Ta.
"Du Shuai is what he said, this king has no intention of restricting Du Shuai's freedom, you can leave the Great Song Dynasty at any time!" Zhao Ta said with displeasure on his face.
"It's... Ben Shuai was in a hurry and lost his words. Lord Yan is more forgiving! Wan Yan Xian also felt that what he said was inappropriate when he heard it, and he also paid for his own expenses. But his own words seem to be detained, and he will be unhappy if he is replaced.
"Whether to go or not to go, Du Shuai makes his own decision. If you don't go to this king, you will do the friendship of the landlord, and if you want to go to this king, you won't stop it. But this king still wants to say a few more words, but I don't know if Du Shuai is willing to listen! Zhao Ta waved his hand to show that he understood his feelings, and said with a slightly slower face.
"Prince Yan, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Ben Shuai listens to it!" Wan Yan Xian also served Zhao Tanman wine and said.
"Now that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the Northwest Region are still under the control of the Liao State, Du Shuai has to cross through them if he wants to go, and it is better if he is alone. But if more than 3,000 people go together, it is inevitable that they will be discovered by the Khitans or the party members, even if they are handsome and brave, the heroes are difficult to defeat the four hands, and if there is a mistake on the way, it is not beautiful! Zhao Ta voiced his concerns.
"Du Shuai, Lord Yan is right, if we go now, it will be like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger!" Beguru didn't want to follow Wan Yan Xian to take risks, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Then what should I do, the life and death of the imperial brother are unknown, how can I stay!" Wan Yan Xian also knew that the two of them were right, but he was not without worries, if the imperial brother had three longs and two shorts, how would he deal with himself?
"The Art of War: Plan and then act. If Du Shuai can be trusted, this king will send someone to sneak into the Liao Realm to inquire about the news, probe the truth, and wait for the exact news of Lu Dao, and it will not be too late for Du Shuai to make a decision! Zhao Ta suggested, "Besides, the matter of Du Shuai has been reported to the imperial court, and the envoys will be informed, and they will also find a way to inform your country as soon as possible. ”
"It's okay, then there will be Lord Lao Yan!" Wan Yan Xian also pondered for a while and said, he was also worried that he would go back rashly, once the imperial brother was already there, Wu Qimai took the throne just to take his own sword, the general of the defeated army, and counted the sin of the defeat of Xijing on his own head, at that time, it was called every day, and the earth was not spiritual!
"Zhao Lian will leave this matter to you, you must do it well!" After seeing that Yan Xian also expressed his attitude, Zhao Ta turned his face and said to Zhao Lian.
"The subordinates obey the order, and it is the honor of the last general to be able to serve the commander!" Zhao Lian immediately got up and said, but he was secretly happy in his heart, the prince had been gone for several months, first got Wan Yan Xian here, and then drove Ah Guda and Zong Han away, these things were all done by him, he didn't understand what happened, but he pretended to be a fool, this kung fu was really home.
"Du Shuai, come to drink, the ancients said: there is wine today, drunk today, tomorrow is sad, tomorrow is sad. Let's also learn from the ancients today and don't care about it tomorrow, drink the damn, Zhao Lian pours wine! Zhao Ta saw that the heat was almost over, and he couldn't be too enthusiastic at this time, otherwise it would be counterproductive, put things aside, and fill the two of them first.
Staggered, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Zhao Ta's rhetoric is endless, "Song-Jin friendship", "sincere cooperation", the great emperor, the proud nephew... After drinking the most slightest, even the horse who finished Yan Xian also drank two bowls, anyway, he wore a big hat and pasted high, so that the two of them couldn't drink it, and Wan Yan Xian couldn't hold back such a pour even if it was massive, and when the drum sounded, both of them lay down.
Zhao Lian couldn't stand it anymore, he vomited a mess, and his mouth was full of green water, and then he didn't seem to have much of a deal, and when he looked closely, he fell asleep sitting down, it seems that he didn't play fraud today... (To be continued.) )
