Chapter 7 Chapter VII Negotiation
"Xu Xuan? No see! If the king wants to suspend his troops, unless Li Yu goes out of the city and surrenders to the king, what is Xu Xuan doing here? Boom him back."
"Wait!"
Cao Bin stepped forward and said: "Thousands of years, Li Yu didn't surrender, but sent envoys to see him. The name is to seek peace, which is actually a delay. The imperial army has already approached the city, so it is naturally impossible to promise him any conditions, but Jinling City has high walls and thick walls. It is difficult to defend and attack. If he is trapped for a few days, it will be beneficial to us to eliminate the morale of the defenders in the city. Moreover, our army has attacked all the way to Jinling. Many cities in the south of the Yangtze River are still under Li Yu's control. One hundred thousand troops are on standby. If we go to fight one by one, it will inevitably be laborious. Now, if we are besieging Jinling and forcing the Tang army from all walks of life to be king, we can just wait to work and cut them off one by one. Moreover, our army's food, grass and supplies are now somewhat insufficient. It will take time for the land to make up the promise, and it will take time for the middle school to arrive. Four, the soldiers are already exhausted from the all-way attack, and they need to rest for a while, why don't you see Xu Xuan when you are thousands of years old."
Yang Hao also stepped forward and said: "General Cao's words are very true. If you can force Li Yu to surrender voluntarily and surrender without fighting, it is better than attacking hard and killing people. Jinling is prosperous and not inferior to Kaifeng. If you are in a hurry Without him, it would be a pity for Li Yu to learn from Liu Jixing of the Han Dynasty and burn the wealth of the country with a single fire. What's more, such a strong city can never be attacked by manpower alone. It takes time to make various siege equipment. Now they need time to mobilize troops and generals, we also need time to prepare, how to plan, as for the negotiation... Whether to fight or not to fight this battle depends on whether Li Yu surrenders or not; whether this battle is won or lost depends on the two sides Whether the strength is strong or weak, Xu Xuankong has a sharp mouth, can he turn the situation around, and why should he come?"
Zhao Guangyi raised his eyebrows together, and said with a smile: "What you two adults said is reasonable, okay, come here, beat the drums and gather the generals, and call Xu Xuan to see you!"
In the big tent, the generals are like clouds, everyone wears armor and stands tall like a mountain. Seeing the aura of slaying and killing, it makes people tremble with fear.Xu Xuanbo wears a high crown and enters the account proudly, but seeing this situation, he does not look sideways and is calm and composed.When he arrived in front of Zhao Guangyi, Xu Xuan gave a slight salute and said, "Xu Xuan of the Tang Dynasty, I have met King Jin."
Zhao Guangyi smiled calmly, and asked: "This king was ordered by the emperor to crusade against the second minister, and now the army is trapped in Jinling. Li Yu didn't come out of the city to plead guilty, but asked Master Xu to come here. What do you want to tell?"
Xu Xuan solemnly said: "King Jin's words are wrong. I have restored the title of the Tang Kingdom, and I am called the Emperor. Now my Lord is the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom. He is the same as the emperor of your country. They are all supreme. Why do you want to say something? Xu Xuan Xuan is holding a letter of state and holding a Yue. This time he is on a mission and wants to see His Majesty the Emperor of your country make a speech in person. The King of Jin has a high status and is not an ordinary person. How can you make fun of this important state event as a gossip?"
Zhao Guangyi laughed and said, "It turns out that Master Xu's trip out of the city is to our country of Song as an envoy. Is your country's territory now limited to Jinling City? Haha, disrespect, disrespect, really disrespectful, I don't know what the emperor of your country Jinling has to say ?”
All the generals in front of the tent burst into laughter, Xu Xuan kept his composure, and after the laughter stopped for a while, he said lightly: "Xu Xuan is ordered by my emperor to see His Majesty the Emperor of Song, and to suspend the army to negotiate a peace. If King Jin can do this Lord, then Xu Xuan will entrust the letter of state to the King of Jin and negotiate with the King of Jin, but it doesn't matter."
As he said that, Xu Xuan smiled slightly, arched his hands slightly, held a scroll of yellow satin in his hands, tied with bright yellow silk thread, and took a step forward.
Zhao Guangyi looked at the Chinese book in Xu Xuan's hand, his thick eyebrows twitched, his face darkened, and he suppressed his anger, unable to attack.There was no sound in the tent, and all the generals watched with bated breath. Zhao Guangyi was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, and left his seat with a smile on his face, he said: "Xu Xueshi was joking, the military and state affairs of our Song Dynasty depend on the holy will, how dare Zhao Guangyi decide. Senior scholar Xu Since I am here as a national envoy and want to see our emperor, how dare I stop him? Now there are rebels everywhere, and the road to the north is not quiet. It is getting late today, so I invite Master Xu to stay temporarily in my camp until tomorrow morning. , this king personally sent someone to send you to Beijing."
Xu Xuan smiled slightly, took back the credentials, and cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, King Jin, Qiansui."
After Xu Xuan was sent out, Wenwu returned the account, Zhao Guangyi punched the Shuai case, the veins on his forehead thumped, he was angry for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Yin Wei, come closer!"
A flag officer in front of the tent immediately stepped forward and crossed his hands to salute.This person is Zhao Guangyi's confidant. He used to be a meritorious officer in Kaifeng. He is shrewd and capable in doing things. Zhao Guangyi couldn't take any of his confidantes without him, so he brought him to the army and only served as a banner in front of the account.
Zhao Guangyi ordered: "Yin Wei, go quickly and choose a hundred men who are used to using boats, choose a fast boat, and prepare a fast horse and sedan chair at the same time, sail the boat when encountering water, ride horses when encountering roads, escort them all the way, and rush to Bianliang day and night. If Xu Xuan intends to procrastinate, you will treat them like dead dogs and procrastinate to Bianliang, and you must not let them delay for a day on the road."
Yin Weixin understood, and immediately took orders to go.
Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly, and said contemptuously: "Xu Xuan has tried his best to gain time for Li Yu, what can he change? From today on, this king will be recuperating his soldiers and horses while building siege equipment. When you come back with a feather, you will immediately Take Jinling City, but with your sharp mouth, you will be able to use it!"
"Emissary Yang Zuo, alas, when I was in the city, I heard that Envoy Yang Zuo was blessed and fateful, and he fell into the water but survived. Seeing him today, I know the rumors are true." When Yang Hao walked out of the tent, he saw that the envoys of the Tang Kingdom were really huge, dozens of them were envoys. The generals who came out of the tent felt very strange seeing such a large envoy, and stood there pointing their fingers. point, cited as a joke.Yang Hao also stood still, watching curiously, when a civil servant in the mission suddenly came out and saluted him. Yang Hao saw that he had no impression of this person, so he couldn't help wondering: "This brother is..., does Yang recognize you?" The civil servant with two mustaches accompanied him with a smile and said: "The next official is Li Tingfeng, the official of the Honghe Temple in the Tang Dynasty. He once received Yang Zuo envoy with Master Ye. Yang Zuo envoy forgets things a lot. He must be the next official. I don't recognize it." Yang Hao smiled and said, "My eyes are clumsy..." As he was talking, Li Tingfeng approached with a smile, touched him with his left hand, and a ball of paper was stuffed into his hand from under his big sleeve, Yang Hao was startled, squeezed the ball of paper as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "My eyes are clumsy, I don’t remember people very much, but when I said this, I remembered it. Why... Didn’t Master Yeyu Ye accompany Master Xu on the mission this time?” The mustache sighed: "Song State envoys and Khitan envoys had accidents in the city one after another. His Majesty was so angry that he dismissed Lord Ye as an official. Lord Ye has already returned to his hometown in Pengcheng." Yang Hao was slightly taken aback, and then sighed softly: "It's a blessing in disguise, so I don't know that it's not a blessing... Now this official... It's fine. Hehe, the last time I went to your country as an envoy, I was grateful for the hospitality, and Yang always remembered it." It's rare to see you in my camp today, and today Yang caught a fat fish in the Qinhuai River, and it happened to be with wine, Li Tangguan, would you like to have a few drinks with Yang?" Li Tingfeng smiled and said: "Your Excellency loves you so much, how dare you disobey your orders?" Following Yang Hao's joyful departure, the officials in the envoy saw that Li Tingfeng had established friendship with Song officials so quickly, and most of them looked at him with envy. Arriving in Yang Hao's tent, Yang Hao retreated to the left and right, only paying attention to guarding the tent opening, unfolded the paper ball and saw some names of people listed on it, so he asked solemnly: "Your Excellency, what do you mean?" As soon as Li Tingfeng entered the tent, his flattering smile disappeared. He calmly looked at Mu Yu who was guarding the tent, and asked, "Is this person reliable?" Yang Hao replied: "It's my brother, don't worry." Li Tingfeng nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Li once got a report from Da Lang, and he knows the relationship between you and us now. In this crisis, I ask you for something, and I hope you will lend a helping hand." Yang Hao was startled, and lost his voice: "Da Lang? Your Excellency is also a member of the successor hall?" Li Tingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Exactly." Yang Hao focused his eyes and asked, "I don't know what's the matter with Brother Li coming to look for me?" Li Tingfeng said: "It's just a rainy day. To tell you the truth, my lord, the Zhao official family's plan to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty is certain, and we have already received the news. The industries and important clansmen in the Tang Kingdom can be relocated or hidden. Precautions have already begun.” Yang Hao thought in his heart: "This successor hall is really good. I am afraid that any powerful force has their eyes, eyes and ears. This is simply a pervasive espionage system. If we can get their help, what is the use of soldiers like gods?" Difficult. Listening to his tone, he doesn't have much respect for Cui Dalang, and they should not be subordinate to each other. His surname is Li, so is he also a core figure in the seven clans and five surnames? From this point of view, the reason why Jisitang has such huge energy is that However, it is impossible to establish a major event based on the basis. It is really because the organization of Jisitang has disintegrated, and the seven clans and five surnames are in charge of their own affairs. Only when the other clans are connected can the situation be reversed, turning passive into active, not restrained by them, but controlled by them." Thinking of this, Yang Hao's expression softened, and he revealed a bit of affection: "Brother Li, please sit down. Since you have already prepared, what do you want Yang to do?" Li Tingfeng said: "Some properties are impossible to sell in time. Some people in my family are inconvenient to leave just because of their special identities. For example, my subordinates and family members stayed in the city until today. Now we want to If Li Yu offered the city to surrender, thousands of souls in the city might be spared the disaster. If not, once the army attacked the city, even if Zhao Guan’s family ordered the imperial decree not to plunder, burn and kill, the chaotic army could not be controlled. In that case, our clansmen staying in the city will be in danger." Suddenly, Yang Hao said: "Brother Li's intention...that I can rescue and protect them when the city is destroyed?" Li Tingfeng said happily: "Exactly." Yang Haodao: "Since brother Li came to look for me, Yang has no reason to refuse. However, once the army breaks through the city, there are smoldering fires everywhere, wars are raging, and there are thousands of hands and eyes in the midst of chaos, how can it be possible to put the people on this list Are people well maintained?" Li Tingfeng said with a smile: "It's not difficult. Once the city is broken, our clansmen will immediately gather at an agreed place. After entering the city, my lord will run here to stop the rioters from looting and killing people. Naturally, we will be able to protect us." Yang Hao suddenly realized, and thought about it carefully, there are really not many places in the city that are convenient for them to gather and he knows.He suddenly thought of a place, hurriedly patted his forehead and said: "Then... how about staying in Jiangnan Academy? This is an academy, there are no wealthy women, and if there are generals who become bandits, they may not choose this place. If it is really a city If it breaks, I will go straight here." Li Tingfeng smiled and said: "That's very good, I'll pass the news back to the city immediately, and tell the important clansman everywhere." As he said, he took out a package from his arms, put it on the table, unwrapped it and took a look , jewels, dazzling, full of extremely precious jewels. Yang Hao frowned, and said: "Brother Li and I are not in contact with each other for money, so there is no need for such things as gold, silver, pearls and jade?" Li Tingfeng laughed and said, "My lord, why do you think there are so many officials trying to squeeze into the mission when Master Xu is going to Bianliang? They all want to make a way in advance and ask the generals Just to keep my family and family safe. Now those envoys must be working in the accounts of the generals. My treasure is just a cover. If you want to accept it, you can accept it. If you don’t want to accept it, you can give it to King Jin , frankly told Li to bribe, but also in exchange for his trust." He stood up with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "If Li stays longer, it may be disadvantageous to the adults, so I will take my leave." Yang Hao sent him to the tent, just when he saw an envoy from the Tang Kingdom coming out of the tent of Cao Han, the general under Cao Bin, bowing his head and bowing his head to salute himself. Cao Han was standing at the door and was talking to him with a smile on his face. Seeing Yang Hao, and seeing an envoy from the Tang Dynasty coming out of Yang Hao's tent, Cao Han smiled knowingly at him, cupped his hands in the distance, and then turned to return to the tent. Yang Hao couldn't help shaking his head secretly when he saw it: "The disaster is imminent, and the officials in the south of the Yangtze River have already begun to find their own way out, but Li Yu... where is your way out?"
At the head of Jinling City, under the umbrella of Huang Luo, Li Yu is personally patrolling the city to boost the morale of the three armies. There are many soldiers in the city, many of them are wearing white armor, this kind of armor is made of paper, usually with hard cloth to mount the bones, and then use paper tendons to cover it, it is very light, and it can withstand bows and crossbows with good quality.Even if it is paper armor, it is usually decorated with colored cloth and various patterns. Now Li Yu has captured all the young and strong men in the city. The armor is made in a hurry, neither dyed nor decorated. As for the inside Whether there is any cut corners, it is not known. People in Jinling often see Li Yu, the lord of the country. When he leaves the palace, he either goes to the temple to pay respects to the Buddha, or to visit the Qinhuai River. This is the first time he is seen wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown. Extremely patrolling the three armies. It's a pity that even when it was time to boost the morale of the three armies, Li Yu, who was full of joy and anger, didn't know how to hide it. He frowned and looked worried.Rows of white-armored soldiers with knives and guns stood at the top of the city, listening to the uniform rumbling footsteps of the Song army below the city when they were mobilized, these untrained soldiers who had never seen a battle were frightened and their faces turned blue. Li Yu walked among them, surrounded by white armor, it looked like he was in a funeral. "Can Xu Xuan complete the mission? When will the Hukou garrison come to rescue him? Where are my Qin Wang's teachers?" Li Yu stared blankly at the Song army camp that could not be seen from the beginning to the end of the city. Then, he moved his eyes to the north and then to Kaifeng. Zhao Dalang, who was vulgar and disrespectful to gods and Buddhas, was just a smelly soldier. How could he be so arrogant? Fortunately, to become the overlord of the Central Plains?I... can I escape his clutches this time?Rescue, where is the rescue? Yelvwen once gave him a hope. For the first time, he, who likes a comfortable and peaceful life, had a little ambition to dominate the Central Plains. He also dreamed of cooperating with Khitan, annexing the Song Kingdom from the south to the north, and ruling the river from then on. Become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in the whole south, but... But Yang Hao, who deserved to die, came back alive, but Ye Luwen really died. Now he doesn’t know whether King Qing’s rebellion in the Northern Kingdom was successful. If he succeeds, then the contract in his arms will still be valid. The problem is, even if he succeeds , Can I delay until that day?Shangjing, how is it now?Ye Luxian is an emperor who owns a more powerful country than himself. Has he...has become a ghost under King Qing's sword now?
Going to the capital, a group of generals is patrolling the city. Walking in the middle is a female general, wearing an indigo blue robe with a collar and narrow sleeves, covered with chain mail with fine scales, a shiny heart mirror on the chest, and pure white silver fox fur on the pocket and collar , with a long bouquet of pheasant feathers fluttering on the silver helmet above her head, against her face with red lips and white teeth, she is heroic and vigorous, and she is the Khitan Empress Xiao Chuo. On her right, there is also a female general, wearing a white silk battle robe with a silver border, a sword under her ribs, a bow on her shoulder, and a pot of carved feathers on her back. She has bright eyes and bright teeth, charming and dignified, but she is the most favored Luo Donger, the official of the Sixth Palace of Faith. On their left is a handsome young military general, Da Ti Yinsi, Marshal of the Palace Guard Yelu Xiuge, followed by several generals, Luo Kedi, Scimitar Xiaoliu and Tie Niu are standing there List.They all wore battle robes, and now they are also generals in the palace guard army. After killing the rebels that day, Xiao Chuo immediately named them relics, translated into Chinese as Langjun, which means that a warrior who has no official position has become a Langjun. It's like being a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty, which means you can be an official.Sure enough, after Ye Luxian patrolled the city with wounds, an edict was issued, and the three of them became generals of the Palace Guard Army. Xiao Chuo arranged Shangjing like an iron bucket. She patrolled the city every day and handled state affairs as usual.Yesterday, news finally came from the South Campus that the Song Army was on the southern expedition! Xiao Chuo couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when she heard the words. The Southern Expedition of the Song people showed that the Song State had decided to give up the opportunity to take advantage of the Northern Expedition. At this time, she issued an edict ordering Yelu Xiezhen, the King of the Southern Academy, to send troops to the capital to send troops to the capital. around.Xiao Chuo did not order Yelu Xiezhen to send his troops to Shangjing. Shangjing was under her defense like an iron barrel. Although King Qing attacked the city day and night, he had no chance to advance.Xiao Chuo ordered Yelu Xiezhen to divide his troops to attack the rebellious tribal territories, and only targeted a few staunch supporters of King Qing, such as the Baigan tribe. Prior to this, she had sent people out of the city to secretly contact the chiefs of the rebel tribes, and bribed those war speculators who were not very determined to rebel with money and sex to divide the rebel army, believing that the rebel tribes were bloodbathed After the tribe, all the work she did in advance can finally ferment and tear the rebel army apart. After the tour of the city was over, Xiao Chuo went back to the palace and visited the emperor first, but the emperor was still the same, groggy and unconscious.Although the two had no feelings, they were a couple after all, seeing Ye Luxian's thin, pale cheeks and dying appearance, Xiao Chuo still burst into tears. She was not only sad for the emperor, but also for herself.Yeluxian was originally weak and sickly, and after being hit by a poisoned arrow, he couldn't get sick even more. He fell asleep all day long, seldom awake, but often unconscious. In fact, both she and the people in the emperor's palace knew that Yeluxian Xian is now a living dead, only relying on drugs to hang his life. Xiao Chuo married the emperor not long ago and has no heirs. If the emperor dies and has no successor, what should he do then?For the sake of the country and the unity of the tribes, the Yelu family will elect another emperor, and it is not impossible to make peace with the rebels, but what about themselves?The best end is to be regarded as the empress dowager, moved to the cold palace, and then confined within a corner of the palace wall, isolated from the world, for a lifetime. A seventeen-year-old queen mother... Tears silently slid down her delicate cheeks, and those immature shoulders trembled lightly. At this time, who can say that she is a heroine and Khitan empress who is decisive and swaying thousands of troops?There was a faint sound of weeping in the bedroom, but all the palace servants were sent out, and no one would see her crying. When she walked out of the bedroom, she had already changed into a dark blue robe with dark gold patterns embroidered on the collar and sleeves, a belt was tied around her slender waist, and her shiny black hair was tied into a high bun. , A pure white jade stick is inserted in the bun.If the shoulders are cut, the waist is as smooth as expected, and the steps are as light as clouds covering the moon, but the expression on the face is stern and majestic, which makes people dare not look up. No one would have thought that such a queen, she also has times of weakness , she was crying just now. Gently let out a breath, only to feel that the palace seemed to be colder than the city where dripping water turned into ice, a pair of scissored eyes swept away slightly, and all the servants in the palace looked trembling and did not dare to look up at her. In the palace, there is no one who can speak.Xiao Chuo's mood faded, she sighed lightly, and walked out with a flick of her sleeves. Empress Xiao walked to Shangguan Luo Dong'er's residence alone without any servants. Open the door and go in, bypassing the screen, you will see a large bed in front of you, and two braziers in front of the bed are burning vigorously.In the tent, a slender and delicate body wearing only a small coat is standing upright on the couch, with two small hands resting on the hollow of the waist, a straight line from the chest to the toes, the head and the chest are bent at a ninety-degree angle, motionless . Seeing Xiao Chuo, his beautiful lips moved slightly, and he moved forward. The person on the bed felt the movement, and his feet moved slightly, and he was about to put it down. "Don't move, keep practicing." Xiao Chuo smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to pull the ribbon around her waist. The robe slipped to the ground silently, revealing a graceful figure with bumps and convexities. Lightly folded in reverse at a strange angle, the back of the head and the buttocks are close together, the legs are folded forward, the feet rest on the fragrant shoulders, Xiao Chuo crossed his hands, holding the feet resting on the shoulders respectively, the whole People become a triangle. She rested her chin on the bed, and her flowery and delicate face became the center of this triangle. Looking at Luo Donger, Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "You are an adult and your bones are hardened. I didn't expect you to practice these difficult exercises so quickly. Movement, this is a kung fu taught to me by a monk in the Western Regions. It is said to have originated from Tianzhu. This kind of kung fu can not only strengthen the body, but also help to correct the posture. You know, people on the grassland ride horses every day. , if you don't pay attention, your legs will bend outwards and become ugly, and... this kung fu has a miraculous effect..." "What... miraculous effect?" After all, Dong'er's kung fu is weaker than hers, and she still can't do such a difficult movement. At this moment, this upside-down movement has made her breathless. She adjusted her breathing, and then asked aloud . Xiao Chuo smiled narrowly, and said in a low voice: "It can also help the boudoir's fun." Dong'er's face turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because she stood on her head for too long or because she was too shy. Xiao Chuo smiled: "Dong'er, I love you as sisters. Is there anything I can't say? You are still young, do you plan to live alone forever? Brother Xiu really has a deep love for you, don't you? His After my wife died of illness, according to my Khitan customs, I should marry her younger sister after the death of my sister, but Brother Xiu resolutely refused to marry her in order to leave you the main wife. Whether it is the beauties presented to him by the Jurchens, the Northern Han people, or the women given to him by me, no matter how those women please him, they are always concubines. Brother Yeluxiu is waiting for the position of the main wife. It's you, you can imagine how much he values you.Is Huge's character, martial arts, and official position not worthy of you?The woman who was supposed to be his stepwife is from our Xiao family, she has cried to me several times, and I have sent her back every time for you..." "Your Majesty..." Dong'er interrupted her, paused, and said, "My Lady, after the King of the South Court sends out troops, will King Qing retreat and lift the siege of Shangjing?" Xiao Chuo sighed secretly, knowing that she would not remarry after all, he said, "Prince Qing is just a buffoon, I don't worry about him, what I care about now is that dragon in Bianliang." There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and she said slowly: "Tang country is easy to attack, but Khitan is difficult to attack. Zhao Kuangyin gave up the god-given opportunity to take advantage of my civil strife to seize Youyan, but concentrated his strength to attack Tang country. It seems that he Although he fought east and west in the Central Plains in 2000, he never let go of my Khitan. The world said that I fought to the death with King Qing, and thought it was a good opportunity to capture Youyan. To protect Jiangshan Sheji, he will definitely give up this emperor who has been in power for less than three years and has not been in charge of the government for a long time, and make peace with King Qing to defend against foreign enemies. Zhao Kuangyin has a unique vision and is able to implement it. Such a person is called the owner. It's not bad, after Song unifies the Central Plains, this official Zhao family will definitely be the most undeniable enemy of our Tang Kingdom..."
Zhao Kuangyin sat high on the throne and said, "Xu Xuan and Zhou Weijian, envoys of Xuantang Kingdom, come to see us!" In front of the Hall of Emperor's Rituals, the ceremonial officer yelled, and the chief and deputy Tang envoys came to see him according to the ceremony. Xu Xuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Weijian, the deputy envoy, is a Taoist priest. Recently, Li Yu is obsessed with "Book of Changes". When he was on an envoy, Li Yu appointed him as the official of Shizhong and Xiuwenguan, and moved this old Taoist here, probably because he wanted to use his Tai Chi Kung Fu and Zhao Kuangyin to practice push hands, but I don’t know, Zhao Kuangyin, who is used to using sticks Not in that mood. The two went to the hall, and as soon as they climbed the steps, Xu Xuan took the lead, took a breath of his dantian, and shouted loudly: "Li Yu is innocent, your majesty has no name!" Zhao Kuangyin sat on the throne, looked around, and said with a slight smile: "Old Xu Xuan is really in a hurry, let him come in and talk?" As Xu Xuan walked towards the hall, he said loudly: "Li Yu regards small things as big things, like a son serving his father, he is respectful and respectful, and he has never been overstepped and rude. Now he is sick and weak and cannot travel far, so he has repeatedly pleaded for your majesty's invitation." , and sent envoys to congratulate him with a heavy gift, in order to fulfill his duty as the king of the country. What Li Yu did, he respected and respected His Majesty, and there is nothing to criticize. The army launched a crusade, the nineteen prefectures in the east of the Yangtze River were on fire, and countless refugees cried and cried. This is all the crime of His Majesty..." Xu Xuan spoke as he walked, his words were impassioned and cadenced, and when he stood in front of the hall, hundreds of words had already been uttered, the sound shook the hall tiles, and all the officials changed their colors when they heard it. Zhao Kuangyin sneered, and asked indifferently: "Has the scholar Xu finished? The scholar has read poetry and books. Don't you know that filial piety is the first of a hundred things? You say that Li Yu serves me like a son serves his father, then I am surprised, since Li Yu and I love each other like father and son, why are we eating in two places?" Xu Xuan was suffocated. He never expected that Zhao Kuangyin's art of war was sharp, and he was so fierce when he quarreled. He even used the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. With this sentence to block his mouth, even if he is full of knowledge, how can he answer this deadly trick correctly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Weijian hurriedly took out the spare letter of credence hidden in his sleeve, and played loudly: "Your Majesty is furious, and he launched a crusade. Li Yu knows that he has offended him, but please stop his troops and calm down. Li Yu is willing to abdicate. To dissipate your majesty's thunderous anger. I beg your majesty to express his gratitude to Li Yu for his sincerity, and to issue an edict to slow down the troops, with the fate of the whole country." When Li Yu sent his envoys to the Song Dynasty, he prepared more than ten letters of credence in response to Zhao Kuangyin's possible reaction, and hid them in various places on the two envoys. The two envoys were like jugglers playing magic in Bianliang City, ready to meet the opportunity at any time To act, take out the credentials you want to respond to.Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's reluctance now, Zhou Weijian conjured up a letter of credence, preparing to let Li Yu abdicate and step down, help his son to come to power, and become a supreme king who doesn't care about world affairs. The servant took the letter of credence and trotted to present it on the imperial steps. Zhao Kuangyin took it in his hand and glanced casually, smiled contemptuously, threw it on the case, and said flatly, "I don't understand what your lord said." Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin played a rogue, Xu Xuan was so angry that his body trembled and his white beard flew up, but under the eaves of others, how could he not bow his head, his strength is weak, what can he say?The hard ones have come, and the soft ones have come. Zhao Kuangyin is determined to take down Tang, what can he do now? Xu Xuan's face was full of blood, and suddenly he fell to the ground, took off his crown and hat, knocked his head on the gold brick, put down his value and begged bitterly, his words were like weeping, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were moved when they saw it. Zhao Kuangyin listened Impatient, he slowly stood up and shouted: "Xu Xuan!" Xu Xuan was stunned, raised his head in panic, and listened to Zhao Kuangyin's words, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't need to say too much, I will tell you the truth today, what is your crime? But the family in the world, lying on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore and sleep?" You go back and tell Li Yu not to be delusional, and to surrender the land early, and I will not treat him badly, otherwise I will fight together, and I will have no choice but to go!" Xu Xuan's face was bleak, and he knelt on the ground in a daze. He couldn't say a word anymore, and he didn't care about whether he was famous or not. Bandit, what can you say?Tang Guo, the situation is really gone... Xu Xuan and Zhou Weijian were kicked out of the palace, so they couldn't stay for a while, and immediately rushed back to Jinling to convey the wishes of Zhao Guan's family. Watching Xu Xuan staggered out, Zhao Kuangyin thought thoughtfully: "Li Yu is lucky, it seems that he has not surrendered yet. What do you mean. Li Fuyi was ordered to transport grain from Jinghu Lake to the east of Jiangdong, the transfer envoy to the west of Beijing, one to prepare for the war, and the other to comfort the people after the war. This Tang Kingdom must be wiped out now." He also called someone to fetch the battle map dedicated by Yin Wei, who accompanied the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to Beijing. This is the military deployment map after Zhao Guangyi's troops were trapped in Jinling. Wai Beizhai said: "Li Yu is stubbornly resisting, and there is no guarantee that there will be no surprise attack. From the perspective of the situation in Jinling, only the direction of Beizhai is suitable for a surprise attack. After you go back, tell King Jin to dig a canal in front of the stronghold to divert water as a barrier to prevent Li Yu rushed to the camp at night as a brave man, so he must not be careless." Yin Wei praised repeatedly, and then he kowtowed to the king and left. Poor Xu Xuan and Zhou Weijian were driven by him day and night. After a lot of tossing, the old bones were about to fall apart. Now they didn't drink a sip of water, and they didn't even enter the gate of the concierge courtyard. , was sent back to Tang by Yin Wei without touching the ground. At this time, under the city of Jinling, Yang Hao was also wearing a high crown, a grand suit, wearing a ribbon jade, decorated with whitebait, a light car, and three or five followers. He wants to go to the city to persuade Li Yu to surrender.
"Emissary Yang Zuo, alas, when I was in the city, I heard that Envoy Yang Zuo was blessed and fateful, and he fell into the water but survived. Seeing him today, I know the rumors are true." When Yang Hao walked out of the tent, he saw that the envoys of the Tang Kingdom were really huge, dozens of them were envoys. The generals who came out of the tent felt very strange seeing such a large envoy, and stood there pointing their fingers. point, cited as a joke.Yang Hao also stood still, watching curiously, when a civil servant in the mission suddenly came out and saluted him. Yang Hao saw that he had no impression of this person, so he couldn't help wondering: "This brother is..., does Yang recognize you?" The civil servant with two mustaches accompanied him with a smile and said: "The next official is Li Tingfeng, the official of the Honghe Temple in the Tang Dynasty. He once received Yang Zuo envoy with Master Ye. Yang Zuo envoy forgets things a lot. He must be the next official. I don't recognize it." Yang Hao smiled and said, "My eyes are clumsy..." As he was talking, Li Tingfeng approached with a smile, touched him with his left hand, and a ball of paper was stuffed into his hand from under his big sleeve, Yang Hao was startled, squeezed the ball of paper as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "My eyes are clumsy, I don’t remember people very much, but when I said this, I remembered it. Why... Didn’t Master Yeyu Ye accompany Master Xu on the mission this time?” The mustache sighed: "Song State envoys and Khitan envoys had accidents in the city one after another. His Majesty was so angry that he dismissed Lord Ye as an official. Lord Ye has already returned to his hometown in Pengcheng." Yang Hao was slightly taken aback, and then sighed softly: "It's a blessing in disguise, so I don't know that it's not a blessing... Now this official... It's fine. Hehe, the last time I went to your country as an envoy, I was grateful for the hospitality, and Yang always remembered it." It's rare to see you in my camp today, and today Yang caught a fat fish in the Qinhuai River, and it happened to be with wine, Li Tangguan, would you like to have a few drinks with Yang?" Li Tingfeng smiled and said: "Your Excellency loves you so much, how dare you disobey your orders?" Following Yang Hao's joyful departure, the officials in the envoy saw that Li Tingfeng had established friendship with Song officials so quickly, and most of them looked at him with envy. Arriving in Yang Hao's tent, Yang Hao retreated to the left and right, only paying attention to guarding the tent opening, unfolded the paper ball and saw some names of people listed on it, so he asked solemnly: "Your Excellency, what do you mean?" As soon as Li Tingfeng entered the tent, his flattering smile disappeared. He calmly looked at Mu Yu who was guarding the tent, and asked, "Is this person reliable?" Yang Hao replied: "It's my brother, don't worry." Li Tingfeng nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Li once got a report from Da Lang, and he knows the relationship between you and us now. In this crisis, I ask you for something, and I hope you will lend a helping hand." Yang Hao was startled, and lost his voice: "Da Lang? Your Excellency is also a member of the successor hall?" Li Tingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Exactly." Yang Hao focused his eyes and asked, "I don't know what's the matter with Brother Li coming to look for me?" Li Tingfeng said: "It's just a rainy day. To tell you the truth, my lord, the Zhao official family's plan to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty is certain, and we have already received the news. The industries and important clansmen in the Tang Kingdom can be relocated or hidden. Precautions have already begun.” Yang Hao thought in his heart: "This successor hall is really good. I am afraid that any powerful force has their eyes, eyes and ears. This is simply a pervasive espionage system. If we can get their help, what is the use of soldiers like gods?" Difficult. Listening to his tone, he doesn't have much respect for Cui Dalang, and they should not be subordinate to each other. His surname is Li, so is he also a core figure in the seven clans and five surnames? From this point of view, the reason why Jisitang has such huge energy is that However, it is impossible to establish a major event based on the basis. It is really because the organization of Jisitang has disintegrated, and the seven clans and five surnames are in charge of their own affairs. Only when the other clans are connected can the situation be reversed, turning passive into active, not restrained by them, but controlled by them." Thinking of this, Yang Hao's expression softened, and he revealed a bit of affection: "Brother Li, please sit down. Since you have already prepared, what do you want Yang to do?" Li Tingfeng said: "Some properties are impossible to sell in time. Some people in my family are inconvenient to leave just because of their special identities. For example, my subordinates and family members stayed in the city until today. Now we want to If Li Yu offered the city to surrender, thousands of souls in the city might be spared the disaster. If not, once the army attacked the city, even if Zhao Guan’s family ordered the imperial decree not to plunder, burn and kill, the chaotic army could not be controlled. In that case, our clansmen staying in the city will be in danger." Suddenly, Yang Hao said: "Brother Li's intention...that I can rescue and protect them when the city is destroyed?" Li Tingfeng said happily: "Exactly." Yang Haodao: "Since brother Li came to look for me, Yang has no reason to refuse. However, once the army breaks through the city, there are smoldering fires everywhere, wars are raging, and there are thousands of hands and eyes in the midst of chaos, how can it be possible to put the people on this list Are people well maintained?" Li Tingfeng said with a smile: "It's not difficult. Once the city is broken, our clansmen will immediately gather at an agreed place. After entering the city, my lord will run here to stop the rioters from looting and killing people. Naturally, we will be able to protect us." Yang Hao suddenly realized, and thought about it carefully, there are really not many places in the city that are convenient for them to gather and he knows.He suddenly thought of a place, hurriedly patted his forehead and said: "Then... how about staying in Jiangnan Academy? This is an academy, there are no wealthy women, and if there are generals who become bandits, they may not choose this place. If it is really a city If it breaks, I will go straight here." Li Tingfeng smiled and said: "That's very good, I'll pass the news back to the city immediately, and tell the important clansman everywhere." As he said, he took out a package from his arms, put it on the table, unwrapped it and took a look , jewels, dazzling, full of extremely precious jewels. Yang Hao frowned, and said: "Brother Li and I are not in contact with each other for money, so there is no need for such things as gold, silver, pearls and jade?" Li Tingfeng laughed and said, "My lord, why do you think there are so many officials trying to squeeze into the mission when Master Xu is going to Bianliang? They all want to make a way in advance and ask the generals Just to keep my family and family safe. Now those envoys must be working in the accounts of the generals. My treasure is just a cover. If you want to accept it, you can accept it. If you don’t want to accept it, you can give it to King Jin , frankly told Li to bribe, but also in exchange for his trust." He stood up with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "If Li stays longer, it may be disadvantageous to the adults, so I will take my leave." Yang Hao sent him to the tent, just when he saw an envoy from the Tang Kingdom coming out of the tent of Cao Han, the general under Cao Bin, bowing his head and bowing his head to salute himself. Cao Han was standing at the door and was talking to him with a smile on his face. Seeing Yang Hao, and seeing an envoy from the Tang Dynasty coming out of Yang Hao's tent, Cao Han smiled knowingly at him, cupped his hands in the distance, and then turned to return to the tent. Yang Hao couldn't help shaking his head secretly when he saw it: "The disaster is imminent, and the officials in the south of the Yangtze River have already begun to find their own way out, but Li Yu... where is your way out?"
At the head of Jinling City, under the umbrella of Huang Luo, Li Yu is personally patrolling the city to boost the morale of the three armies. There are many soldiers in the city, many of them are wearing white armor, this kind of armor is made of paper, usually with hard cloth to mount the bones, and then use paper tendons to cover it, it is very light, and it can withstand bows and crossbows with good quality.Even if it is paper armor, it is usually decorated with colored cloth and various patterns. Now Li Yu has captured all the young and strong men in the city. The armor is made in a hurry, neither dyed nor decorated. As for the inside Whether there is any cut corners, it is not known. People in Jinling often see Li Yu, the lord of the country. When he leaves the palace, he either goes to the temple to pay respects to the Buddha, or to visit the Qinhuai River. This is the first time he is seen wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown. Extremely patrolling the three armies. It's a pity that even when it was time to boost the morale of the three armies, Li Yu, who was full of joy and anger, didn't know how to hide it. He frowned and looked worried.Rows of white-armored soldiers with knives and guns stood at the top of the city, listening to the uniform rumbling footsteps of the Song army below the city when they were mobilized, these untrained soldiers who had never seen a battle were frightened and their faces turned blue. Li Yu walked among them, surrounded by white armor, it looked like he was in a funeral. "Can Xu Xuan complete the mission? When will the Hukou garrison come to rescue him? Where are my Qin Wang's teachers?" Li Yu stared blankly at the Song army camp that could not be seen from the beginning to the end of the city. Then, he moved his eyes to the north and then to Kaifeng. Zhao Dalang, who was vulgar and disrespectful to gods and Buddhas, was just a smelly soldier. How could he be so arrogant? Fortunately, to become the overlord of the Central Plains?I... can I escape his clutches this time?Rescue, where is the rescue? Yelvwen once gave him a hope. For the first time, he, who likes a comfortable and peaceful life, had a little ambition to dominate the Central Plains. He also dreamed of cooperating with Khitan, annexing the Song Kingdom from the south to the north, and ruling the river from then on. Become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in the whole south, but... But Yang Hao, who deserved to die, came back alive, but Ye Luwen really died. Now he doesn’t know whether King Qing’s rebellion in the Northern Kingdom was successful. If he succeeds, then the contract in his arms will still be valid. The problem is, even if he succeeds , Can I delay until that day?Shangjing, how is it now?Ye Luxian is an emperor who owns a more powerful country than himself. Has he...has become a ghost under King Qing's sword now?
Going to the capital, a group of generals is patrolling the city. Walking in the middle is a female general, wearing an indigo blue robe with a collar and narrow sleeves, covered with chain mail with fine scales, a shiny heart mirror on the chest, and pure white silver fox fur on the pocket and collar , with a long bouquet of pheasant feathers fluttering on the silver helmet above her head, against her face with red lips and white teeth, she is heroic and vigorous, and she is the Khitan Empress Xiao Chuo. On her right, there is also a female general, wearing a white silk battle robe with a silver border, a sword under her ribs, a bow on her shoulder, and a pot of carved feathers on her back. She has bright eyes and bright teeth, charming and dignified, but she is the most favored Luo Donger, the official of the Sixth Palace of Faith. On their left is a handsome young military general, Da Ti Yinsi, Marshal of the Palace Guard Yelu Xiuge, followed by several generals, Luo Kedi, Scimitar Xiaoliu and Tie Niu are standing there List.They all wore battle robes, and now they are also generals in the palace guard army. After killing the rebels that day, Xiao Chuo immediately named them relics, translated into Chinese as Langjun, which means that a warrior who has no official position has become a Langjun. It's like being a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty, which means you can be an official.Sure enough, after Ye Luxian patrolled the city with wounds, an edict was issued, and the three of them became generals of the Palace Guard Army. Xiao Chuo arranged Shangjing like an iron bucket. She patrolled the city every day and handled state affairs as usual.Yesterday, news finally came from the South Campus that the Song Army was on the southern expedition! Xiao Chuo couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when she heard the words. The Southern Expedition of the Song people showed that the Song State had decided to give up the opportunity to take advantage of the Northern Expedition. At this time, she issued an edict ordering Yelu Xiezhen, the King of the Southern Academy, to send troops to the capital to send troops to the capital. around.Xiao Chuo did not order Yelu Xiezhen to send his troops to Shangjing. Shangjing was under her defense like an iron barrel. Although King Qing attacked the city day and night, he had no chance to advance.Xiao Chuo ordered Yelu Xiezhen to divide his troops to attack the rebellious tribal territories, and only targeted a few staunch supporters of King Qing, such as the Baigan tribe. Prior to this, she had sent people out of the city to secretly contact the chiefs of the rebel tribes, and bribed those war speculators who were not very determined to rebel with money and sex to divide the rebel army, believing that the rebel tribes were bloodbathed After the tribe, all the work she did in advance can finally ferment and tear the rebel army apart. After the tour of the city was over, Xiao Chuo went back to the palace and visited the emperor first, but the emperor was still the same, groggy and unconscious.Although the two had no feelings, they were a couple after all, seeing Ye Luxian's thin, pale cheeks and dying appearance, Xiao Chuo still burst into tears. She was not only sad for the emperor, but also for herself.Yeluxian was originally weak and sickly, and after being hit by a poisoned arrow, he couldn't get sick even more. He fell asleep all day long, seldom awake, but often unconscious. In fact, both she and the people in the emperor's palace knew that Yeluxian Xian is now a living dead, only relying on drugs to hang his life. Xiao Chuo married the emperor not long ago and has no heirs. If the emperor dies and has no successor, what should he do then?For the sake of the country and the unity of the tribes, the Yelu family will elect another emperor, and it is not impossible to make peace with the rebels, but what about themselves?The best end is to be regarded as the empress dowager, moved to the cold palace, and then confined within a corner of the palace wall, isolated from the world, for a lifetime. A seventeen-year-old queen mother... Tears silently slid down her delicate cheeks, and those immature shoulders trembled lightly. At this time, who can say that she is a heroine and Khitan empress who is decisive and swaying thousands of troops?There was a faint sound of weeping in the bedroom, but all the palace servants were sent out, and no one would see her crying. When she walked out of the bedroom, she had already changed into a dark blue robe with dark gold patterns embroidered on the collar and sleeves, a belt was tied around her slender waist, and her shiny black hair was tied into a high bun. , A pure white jade stick is inserted in the bun.If the shoulders are cut, the waist is as smooth as expected, and the steps are as light as clouds covering the moon, but the expression on the face is stern and majestic, which makes people dare not look up. No one would have thought that such a queen, she also has times of weakness , she was crying just now. Gently let out a breath, only to feel that the palace seemed to be colder than the city where dripping water turned into ice, a pair of scissored eyes swept away slightly, and all the servants in the palace looked trembling and did not dare to look up at her. In the palace, there is no one who can speak.Xiao Chuo's mood faded, she sighed lightly, and walked out with a flick of her sleeves. Empress Xiao walked to Shangguan Luo Dong'er's residence alone without any servants. Open the door and go in, bypassing the screen, you will see a large bed in front of you, and two braziers in front of the bed are burning vigorously.In the tent, a slender and delicate body wearing only a small coat is standing upright on the couch, with two small hands resting on the hollow of the waist, a straight line from the chest to the toes, the head and the chest are bent at a ninety-degree angle, motionless . Seeing Xiao Chuo, his beautiful lips moved slightly, and he moved forward. The person on the bed felt the movement, and his feet moved slightly, and he was about to put it down. "Don't move, keep practicing." Xiao Chuo smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to pull the ribbon around her waist. The robe slipped to the ground silently, revealing a graceful figure with bumps and convexities. Lightly folded in reverse at a strange angle, the back of the head and the buttocks are close together, the legs are folded forward, the feet rest on the fragrant shoulders, Xiao Chuo crossed his hands, holding the feet resting on the shoulders respectively, the whole People become a triangle. She rested her chin on the bed, and her flowery and delicate face became the center of this triangle. Looking at Luo Donger, Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "You are an adult and your bones are hardened. I didn't expect you to practice these difficult exercises so quickly. Movement, this is a kung fu taught to me by a monk in the Western Regions. It is said to have originated from Tianzhu. This kind of kung fu can not only strengthen the body, but also help to correct the posture. You know, people on the grassland ride horses every day. , if you don't pay attention, your legs will bend outwards and become ugly, and... this kung fu has a miraculous effect..." "What... miraculous effect?" After all, Dong'er's kung fu is weaker than hers, and she still can't do such a difficult movement. At this moment, this upside-down movement has made her breathless. She adjusted her breathing, and then asked aloud . Xiao Chuo smiled narrowly, and said in a low voice: "It can also help the boudoir's fun." Dong'er's face turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because she stood on her head for too long or because she was too shy. Xiao Chuo smiled: "Dong'er, I love you as sisters. Is there anything I can't say? You are still young, do you plan to live alone forever? Brother Xiu really has a deep love for you, don't you? His After my wife died of illness, according to my Khitan customs, I should marry her younger sister after the death of my sister, but Brother Xiu resolutely refused to marry her in order to leave you the main wife. Whether it is the beauties presented to him by the Jurchens, the Northern Han people, or the women given to him by me, no matter how those women please him, they are always concubines. Brother Yeluxiu is waiting for the position of the main wife. It's you, you can imagine how much he values you.Is Huge's character, martial arts, and official position not worthy of you?The woman who was supposed to be his stepwife is from our Xiao family, she has cried to me several times, and I have sent her back every time for you..." "Your Majesty..." Dong'er interrupted her, paused, and said, "My Lady, after the King of the South Court sends out troops, will King Qing retreat and lift the siege of Shangjing?" Xiao Chuo sighed secretly, knowing that she would not remarry after all, he said, "Prince Qing is just a buffoon, I don't worry about him, what I care about now is that dragon in Bianliang." There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and she said slowly: "Tang country is easy to attack, but Khitan is difficult to attack. Zhao Kuangyin gave up the god-given opportunity to take advantage of my civil strife to seize Youyan, but concentrated his strength to attack Tang country. It seems that he Although he fought east and west in the Central Plains in 2000, he never let go of my Khitan. The world said that I fought to the death with King Qing, and thought it was a good opportunity to capture Youyan. To protect Jiangshan Sheji, he will definitely give up this emperor who has been in power for less than three years and has not been in charge of the government for a long time, and make peace with King Qing to defend against foreign enemies. Zhao Kuangyin has a unique vision and is able to implement it. Such a person is called the owner. It's not bad, after Song unifies the Central Plains, this official Zhao family will definitely be the most undeniable enemy of our Tang Kingdom..."
Zhao Kuangyin sat high on the throne and said, "Xu Xuan and Zhou Weijian, envoys of Xuantang Kingdom, come to see us!" In front of the Hall of Emperor's Rituals, the ceremonial officer yelled, and the chief and deputy Tang envoys came to see him according to the ceremony. Xu Xuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Weijian, the deputy envoy, is a Taoist priest. Recently, Li Yu is obsessed with "Book of Changes". When he was on an envoy, Li Yu appointed him as the official of Shizhong and Xiuwenguan, and moved this old Taoist here, probably because he wanted to use his Tai Chi Kung Fu and Zhao Kuangyin to practice push hands, but I don’t know, Zhao Kuangyin, who is used to using sticks Not in that mood. The two went to the hall, and as soon as they climbed the steps, Xu Xuan took the lead, took a breath of his dantian, and shouted loudly: "Li Yu is innocent, your majesty has no name!" Zhao Kuangyin sat on the throne, looked around, and said with a slight smile: "Old Xu Xuan is really in a hurry, let him come in and talk?" As Xu Xuan walked towards the hall, he said loudly: "Li Yu regards small things as big things, like a son serving his father, he is respectful and respectful, and he has never been overstepped and rude. Now he is sick and weak and cannot travel far, so he has repeatedly pleaded for your majesty's invitation." , and sent envoys to congratulate him with a heavy gift, in order to fulfill his duty as the king of the country. What Li Yu did, he respected and respected His Majesty, and there is nothing to criticize. The army launched a crusade, the nineteen prefectures in the east of the Yangtze River were on fire, and countless refugees cried and cried. This is all the crime of His Majesty..." Xu Xuan spoke as he walked, his words were impassioned and cadenced, and when he stood in front of the hall, hundreds of words had already been uttered, the sound shook the hall tiles, and all the officials changed their colors when they heard it. Zhao Kuangyin sneered, and asked indifferently: "Has the scholar Xu finished? The scholar has read poetry and books. Don't you know that filial piety is the first of a hundred things? You say that Li Yu serves me like a son serves his father, then I am surprised, since Li Yu and I love each other like father and son, why are we eating in two places?" Xu Xuan was suffocated. He never expected that Zhao Kuangyin's art of war was sharp, and he was so fierce when he quarreled. He even used the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. With this sentence to block his mouth, even if he is full of knowledge, how can he answer this deadly trick correctly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Weijian hurriedly took out the spare letter of credence hidden in his sleeve, and played loudly: "Your Majesty is furious, and he launched a crusade. Li Yu knows that he has offended him, but please stop his troops and calm down. Li Yu is willing to abdicate. To dissipate your majesty's thunderous anger. I beg your majesty to express his gratitude to Li Yu for his sincerity, and to issue an edict to slow down the troops, with the fate of the whole country." When Li Yu sent his envoys to the Song Dynasty, he prepared more than ten letters of credence in response to Zhao Kuangyin's possible reaction, and hid them in various places on the two envoys. The two envoys were like jugglers playing magic in Bianliang City, ready to meet the opportunity at any time To act, take out the credentials you want to respond to.Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's reluctance now, Zhou Weijian conjured up a letter of credence, preparing to let Li Yu abdicate and step down, help his son to come to power, and become a supreme king who doesn't care about world affairs. The servant took the letter of credence and trotted to present it on the imperial steps. Zhao Kuangyin took it in his hand and glanced casually, smiled contemptuously, threw it on the case, and said flatly, "I don't understand what your lord said." Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin played a rogue, Xu Xuan was so angry that his body trembled and his white beard flew up, but under the eaves of others, how could he not bow his head, his strength is weak, what can he say?The hard ones have come, and the soft ones have come. Zhao Kuangyin is determined to take down Tang, what can he do now? Xu Xuan's face was full of blood, and suddenly he fell to the ground, took off his crown and hat, knocked his head on the gold brick, put down his value and begged bitterly, his words were like weeping, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were moved when they saw it. Zhao Kuangyin listened Impatient, he slowly stood up and shouted: "Xu Xuan!" Xu Xuan was stunned, raised his head in panic, and listened to Zhao Kuangyin's words, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't need to say too much, I will tell you the truth today, what is your crime? But the family in the world, lying on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore and sleep?" You go back and tell Li Yu not to be delusional, and to surrender the land early, and I will not treat him badly, otherwise I will fight together, and I will have no choice but to go!" Xu Xuan's face was bleak, and he knelt on the ground in a daze. He couldn't say a word anymore, and he didn't care about whether he was famous or not. Bandit, what can you say?Tang Guo, the situation is really gone... Xu Xuan and Zhou Weijian were kicked out of the palace, so they couldn't stay for a while, and immediately rushed back to Jinling to convey the wishes of Zhao Guan's family. Watching Xu Xuan staggered out, Zhao Kuangyin thought thoughtfully: "Li Yu is lucky, it seems that he has not surrendered yet. What do you mean. Li Fuyi was ordered to transport grain from Jinghu Lake to the east of Jiangdong, the transfer envoy to the west of Beijing, one to prepare for the war, and the other to comfort the people after the war. This Tang Kingdom must be wiped out now." He also called someone to fetch the battle map dedicated by Yin Wei, who accompanied the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to Beijing. This is the military deployment map after Zhao Guangyi's troops were trapped in Jinling. Wai Beizhai said: "Li Yu is stubbornly resisting, and there is no guarantee that there will be no surprise attack. From the perspective of the situation in Jinling, only the direction of Beizhai is suitable for a surprise attack. After you go back, tell King Jin to dig a canal in front of the stronghold to divert water as a barrier to prevent Li Yu rushed to the camp at night as a brave man, so he must not be careless." Yin Wei praised repeatedly, and then he kowtowed to the king and left. Poor Xu Xuan and Zhou Weijian were driven by him day and night. After a lot of tossing, the old bones were about to fall apart. Now they didn't drink a sip of water, and they didn't even enter the gate of the concierge courtyard. , was sent back to Tang by Yin Wei without touching the ground. At this time, under the city of Jinling, Yang Hao was also wearing a high crown, a grand suit, wearing a ribbon jade, decorated with whitebait, a light car, and three or five followers. He wants to go to the city to persuade Li Yu to surrender.
