The special envoy will do all sorts of things and try to get Mojie back. Everyone has thought of this.
However, no one expected that the Xixia envoy would dare to threaten the empress to start a war.
"My king said that if we don't return Mojie, we will declare war!"
The special envoy stood tall and proud, thinking that all the ministers in the DPRK and China were frightened.
The empress laughed loudly and said: "Declaration of war? Okay, the special envoy is here to declare war today, I accept it!"
"Long Chengen!"
Long Chen stood up and bowed: "Wei Chen is here!"
The empress's phoenix eyes were as bright as lightning and she said loudly: "I will appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition. You will command all the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We will send out troops today to destroy Xixia!"
Long Chen bowed and said, "Wei ministers accept the decree!"
The empress said to Emperor Lingyi: "Lingyi, you are the deputy general, and you will be at the command of Long Chengen!"
Emperor Lingyi didn't know why he suddenly declared war, and immediately bowed: "I accept the decree!"
All the ministers in the court were petrified, and the Xixia envoy felt like a fool.
In fact, Shi Le did not threaten war at all. He only ordered Ma Yuan to take Mojie back.
Ma Yuan tried his best, but got nothing. Seeing that things were going bad, he thought he was smart and threatened to start a war.
I thought that the Empress would give in, or at least soften her tone, but who knew that the Empress actually took up the fight.
Ma Yuan froze, not knowing what to do.
The empress stood up and said coldly: "Retreat from the court!"
The empress returned to the inner court, and the ministers in the court were still confused. Long Chen walked past Ma Yuan and sneered: "The special envoy will definitely go down in history!"
It can be seen from the expression of the special envoy that this guy has got out of his own way.
Ma Yuan dared to declare war on the court, so the empress had no choice but to accept the call.
This Ma Yuan is really out of his mind.
Returning to Longshuai's Mansion, Long Chen immediately gathered the female generals in the mansion, and the emperor ordered Yi Feiying to send a message to Yanmen Pass, asking Zhang Man and Luo Ang to meet at Jade Buddha Pass.
For a time, the entire capital knew that Xixia had declared war on the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, that Long Chen had been conferred the title of Marshal of the Western Xia Dynasty, and that a war had begun between the two countries.
When Ma Yuan returned to the post house, the deputy envoy asked: "Master Ma, when did the king say that war will begin?"
Ma Yuan's face turned pale and he said, "The Empress and Long Chengen are so annoying. I...I made a slip of the tongue."
Shi Le chose Ma Yuan as his special envoy because he was strong-boned and not afraid of death.
But I didn't expect Ma Yuan to be so stupid as to threaten war.
"Slip of the tongue? Master Ma, now the two countries are at war! You..."
The deputy really wanted to kill Ma Yuan with a knife.
"I regret it too, now...what should I do!"
Ma Yuan had no choice. He heard that Long Chen had summoned the generals to set off, and a big battle was about to begin.
The deputy envoy said: "Master Ma, please go to the palace immediately to see the empress and explain to her clearly that this was a slip of the tongue."
Ma Yuan refused: "I have declared war. If I make a slip of the tongue, it will only show that I, Xixia, are weak and can be bullied."
The deputy envoy tutted: "Master Ma, you declare war without the king's order, and you still say this! Do you want to make the decision for the king, for Xixia? What do you want to do! Do you want your own face, or Xixia!"
The deputy envoy knew something about Ma Yuan and knew that this man wanted to save face.
Ma Yuan remained silent. The deputy envoy was helpless and immediately sent a letter to report.
....
Long Chen led Zhang Qian and a group of female generals on horseback out of the west gate, and then walked south.
"Sir, aren't we going to Jade Buddha Pass? Why are we going south?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "This battle can't be fought. I think it's Ma Yuan's fault. Shi Le will definitely deny it when he finds out."
Emperor Lingyi worriedly said: "But if you deny the declaration of war, it is tantamount to giving in. What will Shi Le do?"
Xixia had a very tough temper, and Emperor Lingyi was worried that Shi Le would make a mistake, so he simply beat him.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Shi Le is the king of Xixia, and his decisions represent Xixia. Even if he can't swallow this breath himself, he must swallow it for Xixia."
"Our great Zhou Dynasty is at its peak. It would be unwise for Xixia to start a war with us at this time."
Shi Le is a qualified king. He will consider things from the perspective of the country and will not act on his own whim. Long Chen is sure that Shi Le will not start a war.
"What if?"
Wu Chuchu was a little worried.
"If a war breaks out, there are 200,000 Long family troops at Jade Buddha Pass, which is enough to last until we get reinforcements."
"Let's go hunting in the mountains."
Long Chen brought a tent so that he could camp in the mountains at night. A group of beauties were in the wild, and only Long Chen was a man. It was exciting to think about it.
....
Gongsun Mansion.
Gongsun Linglong entered the door angrily, cursing as he walked: "Damn eunuch, you won't wait for me to fight!"
Gongsun Yun happened to be passing by and asked: "Long Chengen is fighting again? Where is the war?"
After pacifying the barbarians, there should be no more wars in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why would Long Chen be sent?
Gongsun Linglong said angrily: "The special envoy of Xixia just declared war, and the Holy One conferred Long Chengen as the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition. This dead eunuch actually set off without calling me!"
Gongsun Yun was shocked and asked: "Xi Xia declares war?"
Gongsun Linglong nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is saying that the Ministry of War has started recruiting troops."
Gongsun Yun felt incredible, why did Xixia declare war?
"Zhao Heng, prepare your horse!"
Zhao Heng brought the horse over, and Gongsun Yun galloped into the palace on horseback.
When they arrived at Fengming Palace, the empress was enjoying the cool air in the imperial garden, not at all nervous about fighting.
"Old minister, I've seen your Majesty."
"Lao Zhuguo is here, please sit down."
Gongsun Yun sat down and asked: "Xixia has declared war?"
The empress smiled and said: "The special envoy Ma Yuan threatened me with war, so I agreed. I really don't understand how Shi Le uses people, and he actually sent such a person as a special envoy."
Gongsun Yun asked: "What do you mean, Your Majesty, this special envoy is talking nonsense and Shi Le has no intention of starting a war?"
The empress smiled and said: "A war between the two countries is no small matter. We must mobilize troops in advance and prepare for the war with the strength of the whole country."
"Xixia shows no signs of preparing for war. This must be Ma Yuan's nonsense."
"However, if he dares to threaten war, I will definitely respond."
Gongsun Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "So that's it, I thought the war was really going on."
"This Western Xia envoy is also fooling around. He dares to say such things in front of the court."
The empress smiled and said: "This is the first time I have seen him, so there is no need for Lao Zhuguo to worry."
Gongsun Yun nodded and said: "I heard that the stone was being extorted from Mojie, so I thought... it would be better to return it to them."
In Gongsun Yun's view, Mojie was of little use and could not fight for the Zhou Dynasty. Keeping it would only increase the number of Buddhist believers.
The empress said: "If Mojie cannot be returned, Long Cheng'en will be of great use."
The empress told Long Chen's plan, and Gongsun Yun exclaimed: "This kid has such a deep calculation. He cannot be handed over to anyone, he must be kept."
"Last year, Monk Kongji rescued Jing Tianlie and accepted 40,000 Red Flame troops. If we want to be reasonable, it was them who committed the foul first."
The empress smiled and said: "That's right. If Shi Le dares to accept Jing Tianlie, I will kidnap Mojie and retaliate."
Gongsun Yun stood up and bowed, "That's good. I will retire, old minister."
The empress gave Gongsun Yun a ride.
Back at the house, Gongsun Linglong had already packed up and was preparing to rush to Jade Buddha Pass.
"No need to go, just stay at home."
Gongsun Yun dismounted, and Zhao Heng came over to lead the horse.
"Why? How could the battle with Xixia be without me?"
