Zhao Da rushed to the King of Han Dynasty's chariot station early the next morning and reported to Liu Ling about the Supervisory Council. Liu Ling heard that Sun Diwei was dead, but he didn't show too much concern. Sun Diwei died as soon as he died, even though he had no contact with him.
Xixia Yipintang is the most direct channel for understanding, but being upset does not solve the problem.
Zhao Da knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty... this subordinate has neglected his duty!"
Liu Ling shook his head and said: "I don't blame you for the poor supervision, nor do I blame you for killing Sun Diwei. You don't have to worry about the peace talks in Fuzhou now. Use all the power the Supervisory Yuan can use to investigate that Yipintang.
This time the people from the Third Office suffered heavy losses in Xixia, Ziyu is handling the affairs of the Third Office, do you know what you are responsible for?"
Zhao Da nodded and said: "I understand that if anyone offends me, I will kill them all!"
Liu Ling snorted and said: "Yipintang has suffered a lot in Luoyang this time. After all, it is a yamen that has been established for less than two years. Yipintang cannot bear such a big loss, and it will definitely show its flaws. Between me and
The reason why Li Hunu was not retained is because this person would not provide any information about Yipintang. The Overwatch Council has lost people in this matter, and it will ultimately be up to the court itself to win this face back to me. Counterattack,
I’m going to beat him to the point where he can’t recover.”
Zhao Dadao: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will personally take people to Xixia."
Liu Ling thought for a while and said: "If necessary, you can let the Iron Wolf take action. Don't attack with all your strength. After all, you don't know much about Yipintang. You said you arrested a few of Sun Diwei's cronies. Did you find out anything?"
Zhao Dadao: "Yipin Tang was formed by Wei Mingxiao who spent a lot of money to hire a large number of people from all walks of life. It was hastily established and had mixed members, and was far less formal than the courtyard. It can be seen from Li Hunu's hasty assassination that Yipintang is still very green. Sun Diwei
They are worshiped by Yipintang and are responsible for assisting the governor of Yipintang in training secret spies. The most elite strength of Yipintang is a group of secret spies called Hussar. There are not many in number, but they are all top-notch players in the world. The Hussar is led by the governor of Yipintang.
Taking personal command, no one other than Wei Mingxiao and the governor had the right to order the hussars to move.
Liu Ling asked: "Who is the governor?"
Zhao Dadao: "Sun Diwei's cronies don't know. According to those rebellious people, Sun Diwei doesn't know who the governor of Yipintang is. This person is very mysterious and should have a very high status in Xixia. Based on the analysis of the intelligence collected before, it shouldn't be
A member of the Xixia royal family. The blood of the Li family is very thin. Wei Mingxiao only had one brother who died very early. It would not be possible for someone from the military to hold this position. The Information Supervisory Authority, a famous general in the Xixia army, had been there before.
We have collected almost everything, and when my subordinates arrived they analyzed it and found that no one in the Xixia army has experience in training exercises. Based on the current intelligence analysis, the governor of the First Grade Hall should also be a member of the world."
Liu Ling nodded and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy. This governor was able to train a team of hussars within two years, and he can still remain mysterious, which shows that his ability is not low."
He thought for a while and said: "This is the first large-scale overseas operation of the Oversight Council, and the relationship between Dahan and Xixia is at a delicate time. Fighting is necessary, but it cannot involve other parties, otherwise Weiming Xiaoxiao will go crazy.
If we get up, the big man will have to fight the party members in advance."
Zhao Da Dao: "My subordinates understand that we are only dealing with Yipintang and do not involve the assassination of people in Weiming Xiaoxiao's army or the royal family."
Liu Ling snorted: "You go down first and prepare well. If you don't move, it will be nothing. If you move, it will be like a landslide and a tsunami. Since Yipintang has suddenly appeared, don't let him shrink back and smash it to pieces!"
Zhao Da bowed and said: "I obey, I will leave first."
Liu Ling waved his hand, called Xi Ziyan to his side and said: "You should rush back to Jinzhou overnight. After thinking about it, it would be more appropriate for you to go to Fuzhou. Although the Nie brothers are good at cultivation, they are far less thoughtful.
You are delicate, there is something you have to assist Grand Scholar Zhou Yangong to do. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't worry."
Liu Ling lowered his voice and made some arrangements for his trip north to Fuzhou.
After Xi Zi said his resignation, he sorted out his luggage and the necessary items, took four famous silver clothes and ten assassins from all over the place, and rushed back to Jinzhou overnight. He rode on horseback for two days and two nights, Xi Zi said
After arriving in Jinzhou, he went directly to Zhou Yangong and recounted Liu Ling's explanation truthfully. After hearing this, Zhou Yangong put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Your Highness is forcing the party members to make a choice. Wonderful! Wonderful!"
In fact, Liu Ling told Zhou Yangong only five words. These five words told an allusion. As soon as Zhou Yangong heard these five words, he understood what Liu Ling meant.
The people from the Ministry of Rites and the Xixia officials finally agreed on the location and other details of the meeting. Probably after receiving instructions from Wei Mingxiao, the Xixia people agreed to meet in Fuzhou. Zhou Yangong's team left Jinzhou and slowly headed towards Fuzhou.
OK. Zhou Yangong is not in a hurry to rush to Fuzhou. When to arrive is also a skill. He has to wait until the Han Dynasty's powerful troops attack Yinzhou, Suizhou and other three states while negotiating with the Xixia people.
The battle report reached the ears of the Xixia negotiators. Another reason for not rushing on is that if he walks slower, the Xixia Yipintang people can mobilize some people to keep an eye on his schedule, so that Zhao Da can also
A little more relaxed.
A negotiation actually has three areas of confrontation.
The first one is on the negotiating table in Fuzhou.
The second one was the Yinzhou area of Suizhou that was attacked by the army led by Cheng Yihou and Shengtu Yehu.
The third one is the confrontation between the two secret service agencies, the Supervisory Yuan and Yipintang.
Another reason is that Zhou Yangong walked slower. The news that the Xixia people were completely annihilated in Jinzhou must reach the ears of Wei Mingxiao before Zhou Yangong arrived in Fuzhou. This is because during the negotiation, the big man
Another initiative stood next to him. Zhou Yangong had already set the tone for this meeting, that is, he must be strong!
You even have to look angry and angry, so that the Xixia people will have some scruples. After all, they are wrong. They actually sent a large number of spies into the Han Dynasty to draw maps, and then assassinated the king of Han Dynasty. Duke Yan of Zhou could do these two things.
Make a fuss.
Information from the Supervisory Yuan was continuously sent to Zhou Yangong's team, and Zhou Yangong adjusted the team's itinerary based on this information. When Zhou Yangong walked slowly for a month, and there was still a hundred miles away from Fuzhou,
The report from the Supervisory Yuan was sent, Cheng Yihou’s army conquered Suizhou!
The Xixia people did not expect that Liu Ling would be so direct and would not hesitate to fight each other during the talks!
Fuzhou is now the territory of the Han Dynasty. When he arrived at the gate of Fuzhou city, Wang Banjin came to greet Zhou Yangong in person. Zhou Yangong was kind to Wang Banjin for saving his life, but Wang Banjin had no mercy for this scholar who had no power to tie a chicken.
Extraordinary respect. The two had worked together for several months before and were very familiar with each other. In addition, Zhou Yangong had a heavy responsibility this time, so Wang Banjin knew that he had to cooperate with Zhou Yangong to carry out actions.
Although the meeting place was set to be in Fuzhou, it was not in Fuzhou city.
At this point, the officials of the Han Dynasty also made some concessions. After all, Fuzhou is the city of the Han Dynasty, and there are still tens of thousands of troops in the city. In the end, the two sides agreed that both parties would jointly send people to build a military base thirty miles west of Fuzhou City.
A temporary camp, a wooden platform more than ten meters high.
When Zhou Yangong arrived in Fuzhou, the Xixia negotiating officials had already arrived at their station.
Wang Banjin prepared a mansion for Zhou Yangong, but Zhou Yangong refused. Instead, he asked him to send people to build a large tent in the Han army camp where the negotiations were held. Zhou Yangong lived directly in the negotiating camp. I heard that the Han Dynasty
When the envoys arrived, Li Shou, the leader of the Xixia negotiators, sent people to see Zhou Yangong in the Han army camp, but Zhou Yangong just refused to see him. He ordered his people to tell the Xixia officials who came to visit: "The agreed date has been
Naturally I want to see you."
The Xixia officials left in anger.
The next day, Xi Ziyan personally investigated a piece of news.
"Grand Master, there are Khitans in the camp over in Xixia."
Xi said to himself.
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "As expected by the prince, the Dangxiang people did not have any good intentions this time. They wanted to use the Khitan people to suppress us big men. They made this gesture just to express their intentions. If the big man didn't
If the peace talks are sincere, they will join forces with the Khitans."
Zhou Yangong said: "As for sincerity, Your Majesty asked me to come here with full sincerity."
On the second day, Li Shou, the King of Fire of Xixia, came to see Duke Zhou in person. Duke Zhou sent someone to tell him that the bachelor was not feeling well due to the fatigue from coming far away. After he recovered, he would definitely visit the prince in person. King Liehu knew that this time the matter of Yipintang would be brought to the attention of King Liu of Han Dynasty.
Ling was so offended that he lowered his status to see Duke Zhou Yan. However, he did not expect that the ministers of a big Han Dynasty would be so arrogant. He came to see him in person, but Duke Zhou Yan couldn't excuse himself because of his illness.
Li Shou was not angry. After returning to the Xixia camp, he deliberately spread the news that an important Khitan official, Yelu Xiongji's younger brother, and the Great Liao Dynasty Brother Yelv Mo were guests in the Xixia camp. Zhou Yangong heard that
In the end, he just laughed it off and ignored it.
Wang Banjin looked at Zhou Yangong's indifferent expression and asked: "Grandmaster, if you are so indifferent, could it be that you already have a perfect plan in mind?"
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "Master Hou, before coming here, the prince only gave me one instruction... be tough."
Wang Banjin frowned: "Tough?"
Zhou Yangong laughed and said: "What is strong and hard?"
Wang Banjin thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Heng Dao?"
Zhou Yangong was noncommittal and had an unfathomable expression on his face.
While the two were talking, a scout reported that a hundred thousand troops from Xixia had left Swan City and were marching eastward, and camped forty miles away from the negotiation site. A Khitan army of eighty thousand soldiers marched south from Datong Prefecture in the western capital of Liao Dynasty.
, camped fifty miles north of the city of Han Dynasty, and the attack was fierce.
Wang Banjin said angrily: "That's it for the Xixia people. If the Khitans send troops now, aren't they afraid of being killed again and completely defeated?"
Zhou Yangong smiled and said: "What do you do with him? The date for negotiation will be the day after tomorrow. Let's see how I deal with it then!"
For the sake of safety, Wang Banjin mobilized his army out of Fuzhou City and assembled outside the city, ready to fight at any time. At the same time, Dugu Ruizhi, who was in Daizhou, led his army out of Daizhou and set up camp like a five-mile camp with the Khitan army.
The two sides are at war with each other, and a war seems imminent.
Zhou Yangong, who returned to his tent, whispered something to Xi Ziyan, and then smiled happily: "Yeluxiongji has invested so much money this time, and even sent his own brother. It seems that he
This alliance is also inevitable. It’s just that the prince has a clever plan, how can he get out easily?" (To be continued)
