Chapter 333: The official family has a lot of blessings to enjoy; the army of the Great Song Dynasty is coming
"Pass an edict to Xixia Qi and the chief envoy to take the people I want and undergo physical examination to see if they are carrying any weapons or concealed weapons, and then let them enter the city to pay homage to me!"
Zhao Ji added: "The order is sent to Yue Fei to lead a thousand soldiers to seize the weapons and horses of the hundreds of cavalry guards brought by Xia Guoqi and the envoys. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"
"Also, order Yue Fei to order the envoys of the Xia Kingdom to invite the people in the carriage and sedan out in public!"
"According to the order." The eunuch who passed the order withdrew...
Zhao Ji had deep meaning in doing this. He guessed that most of the people in the carriage were the imperial concubine Cao of the Great Xia Kingdom. Even if she was not the real Cao family, she must be wearing the dress of the imperial concubine of the Great Xia Kingdom. Come.
Then, we can let the world know that the Emperor of Daxia, Li Qianshun, was so timid that he was so frightened by the Song army that he sacrificed all his concubines to the Song camp.
In this way, the morale of the Xia army can be broken down and the morale of the Song army can be boosted.
Also, Zhao Ji ordered Yue Fei to carry out this task. He knew that Yue Fei in history was a well-known loyal minister. He had a noble character and was clean and self-sufficient throughout his life. He was not lewd, never took concubines, and did not want women. To serve.
Such a loyal minister makes Zhao Ji feel at ease!
…
A quarter of an hour later, Yue Fei followed the order and led a thousand soldiers to surround the Xia envoy and his group of more than a hundred horsemen, horses and vehicles.
In the third year of Xuanhe, it was the 30th day of the eighth lunar month, Chen hour.
By this time, the rain had already passed and the sky was clear.
The sun shines through the thin clouds and shines on the yellow earth outside Xijing City of the original Xia Kingdom.
Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, the gorgeously decorated carriage, protected by hundreds of Xia troops, parked quietly in front of the Song army camp, surrounded by Yue Fei and his troops, like a small group of captured soldiers. Lamb, waiting for an unknown fate.
Yue Fei was riding on a tall war horse. He held a spear in one hand and shouted majestically:
"In accordance with the imperial edict of Zhao Guanjia, I ask Xia Guoyi and his envoys and guards to dismount and hand over your weapons and horses. They will be returned when you return. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Xia's hundreds of cavalry guards did not want to abandon their horses and hand over their weapons. They protested one after another and there was a commotion...
The envoy of the Xia Kingdom saw that the Song Army was strong. They were surrounded by thousands of Song Army elites. They were now in front of tens of thousands of Song Army camps. If the two sides clashed and fought, the few troops he led were not from the Song Army at all. opponent.
He acted as a peacemaker, and persuaded the captain of the Royal Forest Army who came to this trip:
"It's better to comply with the request of the Song Army! Previously, when I led the peace delegation into the Song camp, I also handed over my mounts and weapons. When our delegation left, the Song Army kept its promise and returned our horses and weapons... …”
The captain of the Royal Forest Army of the Xia Kingdom reluctantly complied with the order. He ordered all his Royal Forest Cavalry to dismount and hand over their weapons to be temporarily kept by the Song Army...
After dismounting, one hundred Xia imperial guards reluctantly handed over their weapons. They were divided into two teams, and they all stood unarmed next to the carriage where Princess Cao was sitting.
Although they didn't know who was riding in the carriage that was tightly covered by silk curtains;
However, they followed the Xia Emperor's imperial edict: before sending the carriage to the Song camp, they must protect the carriage and the people in it.
When Yue Fei saw Si Yu who was covered tightly, he frowned and shouted loudly:
"I have an imperial edict: The people in the carriage and sedan must be invited out in public!"
"Ah?!" Concubine Cao, who was sitting upright in the carriage, was surprised.
When Yue Fei's order was issued, Xia Guoyi and his envoy were extremely panicked.
He knew that the person sitting in the court was not an ordinary envoy, but the most beloved concubine Cao Shi of the Great Xia Emperor Li Qianshun.
Previously, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty asked the imperial envoy Zhang Jun to pass a message, and didn't he ask Princess Cao to secretly send an envoy to the Song camp?
Now, why did the Emperor of the Song Dynasty go back on his word?
If Concubine Cao was allowed to step out of the carriage in public, wouldn't it let the world know that the Emperor of Great Xia humiliated himself and gave his beloved concubine to the Emperor of Song Dynasty, who was conducting the conquest in person in order to beg for peace?
This is related to the dignity of the Xia Kingdom and the face of the Xia Emperor!
"General, no!"
The envoy of Xia State hurriedly stepped forward and tried to stop Yue Fei:
"General, wait a minute. The people in the car are of high status and it is not appropriate to get off the car here."
His words were sincere, but his eyes showed a bit of panic.
Yue Fei frowned. He didn't know the true identity of the person in the car. He couldn't even imagine that there was a woman sitting in the car. What he guessed was that the person who was given the opportunity to sit in the royal carriage of the Xia Kingdom was most likely to be The princes and ministers of the Xia Kingdom.
Yue Fei glanced at the Xia envoy and said coldly:
"I am acting according to the imperial edict, and I must obey the orders of the Zhao Guan family. No matter who is in the car, they must get out of the car and be inspected before being brought into the city to face the saint!"
Seeing that Yue Fei was unmoved, the envoy of the Xia Kingdom was extremely anxious. He knew that if Princess Cao was allowed to get off the car in full view of the public, it would cause an uproar and be a great humiliation to both the Xia Kingdom and Emperor Li Qianshun.
He quickly explained: "The general has misunderstood. The people in the car are just the imperial envoys sent by my family, Emperor Xia, to negotiate peace. They need to face the Zhao family of your country directly..."
However, Yue Fei is not a gullible person.
When he saw the treacherous words spoken by Lord Xia, he became more determined to personally check the people in the car.
He walked straight towards Siyu...
The leader of the Xia Kingdom was so frightened that he ran a few steps quickly, opened his arms, blocked Yue Fei, and said anxiously:
"General, no!"
"Get out of the way!"
Yue Fei yelled angrily, and with only a fraction of his strength, he pushed the Xia envoy to the ground.
"Ouch..." Lord Xia fell to the ground, grimacing in pain, and did not forget to shout and remind:
"General, this is really not possible..."
Yue Fei, who was loyal to his country and devoted himself to serving Zhao Guan's family, did not listen to the dissuasion of the Xia State envoy. He strode to the Si Yu which was tightly covered by silk and satin curtains.
There was a "swipe" sound.
Yue Fei pulled down the sedan curtain on the carriage.
"Ah?!" Princess Cao in the sedan chair exclaimed.
Her bright eyes showed a bit of fear and uneasiness.
At this moment, time seemed to have frozen.
In the car, Princess Cao of the Xia Kingdom, her beautiful face looked particularly charming under the sunlight.
Her delicate and beautiful face showed a hint of shyness and panic at the moment when Yue Fei opened the sedan curtain, like a flower in bud, someone had inadvertently glimpsed her most private side.
Concubine Cao's eyes flashed with panic. She instinctively wanted to cover her face, but it was too late.
Her delicate hands grasped the dress tightly, as if she wanted to find a sense of security.
"Ah?!" Yue Fei also exclaimed, and he saw a gorgeously dressed beauty sitting in the sedan chair!
This beauty will captivate the whole country!
Yue Fei was surprised and took three steps back.
As the curtain of the carriage was pulled down by Yue Fei, Princess Cao in the carriage was also revealed in full view of the public.
The envoy of Xia Kingdom turned pale with fright.
He was worried that he had not completed the task assigned by Emperor Xia to secretly send Concubine Cao to Emperor Song, and that he would be punished by Emperor Xia after returning to the capital...
How can this be done?!
"Ah?!" The hundreds of Xia Kingdom's imperial guards who were accompanying him for protection were extremely shocked when they saw that the Siyu's sedan curtain was pulled down and the person inside turned out to be the most beautiful imperial concubine of Great Xia, Cao Shi.
Many of them had protected Emperor Xia when he took Concubine Cao on tour, and they all knew Concubine Cao who was so beautiful that she was instantly recognizable.
Many people exclaimed:
"The person in the sedan chair I am protecting is actually Princess Cao?!"
"yes!"
"Yes, that's Princess Cao!"
Their exclamations also reached the ears of the Song army generals who surrounded them.
The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were extremely shocked. They never expected that the person in the car was actually the imperial concubine of the Great Xia Kingdom with such a distinguished status!
The soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty exclaimed again and again and talked about it:
"The soldiers and generals of the Xia Kingdom all said that the woman is Princess Cao, so it is true."
"Yes, she must be Princess Cao."
"The dog emperor of Daxia, in order to beg for peace, gave such a beautiful princess to our Zhao Guan family?!"
"Haha, Emperor Xia is really a green-haired turtle emperor!"
"Hahaha... Our Zhao Guan family is blessed with a beautiful life!"
Yue Fei frowned as he listened to the noisy discussions between Song officers and soldiers.
The army he led was not a soldier trained by himself. As the number one scholar, he came to conquer Xia alone with Zhao Guan's family. The soldiers under him were all transferred from other departments.
Therefore, the military discipline of this unit has not yet reached the ideal state in Yue Fei's mind, but under his strict training, orders and prohibitions can be followed.
Yue Fei shouted loudly:
"shut up!"
The Song army immediately became silent.
Under the Xia envoy's orders and scoldings, the soldiers and generals of the Xia Kingdom's Royal Forest Army no longer dared to talk about the strange relationship between Princess Cao and the Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei basically judged that the woman in the car was most likely the Princess Cao mentioned by the Xia Kingdom's Royal Forest Guards.
He also guessed that this might be the reason why Emperor Dog of the Xia Kingdom was afraid of the Zhao Guan family who wanted to conquer the country personally, so he led his elite soldiers and strong generals to destroy Xixia in one fell swoop. That's why he came up with this strategy and sent the most beautiful woman from Xi Xia to ask Zhao Guan family to stop his troops. ?
Yue Fei sincerely looked down upon Emperor Xia Li Qianshun's shameless behavior.
He also made up his mind that he, together with the upright Privy Councilor Zong Ze and others, would dissuade Zhao Guan's family from accepting the beauty offered by Emperor Xia.
Most of the content of his advice was well thought out.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, the king of Yue after his country was destroyed, presented the beautiful girl Xi Shi as a gift to King Wu Fu Cha. To compare with what is happening today, the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, who was about to be destroyed, also presented a beautiful woman to the Zhao Guan family. you……
If the official family accepts the beauty presented by Emperor Xia, it is very likely that the official family will play with the beauty all day long like Wu Wang Fu Chai, build a lot of construction for the beauty, numb the carelessness, let the tiger return to the mountain, it is very easy for the enemy country to rest and recuperate, and eventually turn back. Eaten by it...
Officials should learn from history. When the Spring and Autumn Period disappeared, the State of Yue once again raised troops to conquer the State of Wu. The State of Wu was defeated and King Wu Fucha committed suicide. Is this a painful lesson for the State of Wu to be destroyed from then on?
Of course, the current Yue Fei still didn't know that this was Zhao Guan's family. He took the initiative to ask Zhang Jun to send a message to Xia Guoqi and the chief envoy, who wanted to give birth to the imperial concubine Cao of Li Renxiao, the future leader of the Xixia Kingdom's resurgence.
Yue Fei obeyed the official decree and ignored all kinds of obstructions from Xia Guoyi and his chief envoys. He could not personally or let his soldiers search the beauty of Xia State. He had to send his men to ride back to the city and bring back four surrendered people in the city. Daughters of official families and four women from poor families.
Yue Fei felt that this combination would be foolproof.
A total of eight women, each in groups of four, conducted a careful body search on the Xia Kingdom's Princess Cao in two groups under the temporary curtain...
Many soldiers present were slandering Yue Fei:
Why are you wasting your time by asking a woman from the city to search this beauty? Can't you let the brothers do it?
You just asked eight women to search the beauty. Why did you raise the curtain to prevent the brothers from feasting their eyes on her?
…
Eight women reported to Yue Fei: The body search of this woman has been completed, and no hidden weapons or foreign objects were found...
Yue Fei frowned, his intuition telling him that something felt wrong, but he couldn't personally search the body of this beautiful woman from the Xia Kingdom.
He also knew that this woman would still be searched before entering the palace to see Zhao Guan's family.
Of course, Yue Fei also made up his mind. After he fulfilled this imperial mission, wouldn't he just enter the city and enter Zhao Guan's palace?
Well, before Zhao Guan's family summoned the beauty of the Xia Kingdom, Yue Fei, a humble minister, remonstrated with Zhao Guan's family and refused to accept the beauty offered by Xia Emperor Li Qianshun...
After thinking about this, Yue Fei led his team and escorted only Xia Guoyi, the envoy and Princess Cao into the city...
Ms. Cao clamped her legs together and watched helplessly as Yue Fei called over a primary school principal and whispered a few words to him...
The Song Army primary school driver replaced the original coachman of Xia Emperor Li Qianshun and came to drive her carriage...
With a "swipe" sound, Mrs. Cao closed the front curtain and the curtains of the left and right windows.
However, she was really depressed all the way. From time to time, she would open a small crack in the car door curtain or curtain, and peek out from time to time...
The envoy of the Xia Kingdom on foot and Princess Cao in a carriage couldn't help feeling sad when they saw that the original plaque of "Xiping Mansion" in the Xijing of Xia Kingdom above the city gate had been replaced by the words "Lingzhou City" of the Song Dynasty...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What puzzled them was that many Xia Party members wearing uniforms in the city actually helped the Song army repair the city walls damaged in the war, laughing and talking...
After they entered the city, they saw that the order in the city had been restored even better than before the war, and they were even more puzzled...
…
Zhao Ji was waiting for Yue Fei to escort the Xia envoys and the Cao family in the main hall of the former King Pu's palace when he suddenly received an urgent military report:
"Report!"
"The governor of Fuzhou, Zhe Keqiu, has led thirty cavalry guards to ask for an audience with Zhao Guan's family in front of the Song camp outside the south city of Lingzhou City of the Song Dynasty, where the original Xijing city is now."
It turns out that the magistrate of Fuzhou can be relied upon. A few days ago, after receiving the imperial edict from Zhao Guan's family and half of the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, he followed the edict and mobilized troops...
Seven days ago, Zhe Keqiu led the 50,000 elite Zhe family troops in Fuzhou and rushed to the Xia Kingdom in an emergency. In most of the roads in the Song Dynasty, those who could travel by water used large ships to transport troops...
After the Zhejia army entered the Xia Dynasty, they marched northward from the Zhejianghui, Pulecheng and Yaodecheng routes that the Song army had previously conquered and occupied...
Finally, at 10 o'clock today, we arrived at the garrison fifteen miles away from the Xijing City of the former Xia Kingdom and the current Lingzhou City of the Song Dynasty...
The magistrate of Fuzhou, Zhe Keqiu, rode a fast horse with only thirty cavalry to escort him. He had arrived at the Song army camp outside the south city gate. He begged to enter the city alone and visit Zhao Guan's family. He wanted to listen to the edict and get guidance on the next military action. …
Now, there are two groups of people to be summoned before Zhao Ji. Who should be summoned first?
Zhao Ji said without even thinking, "Let the envoy of the Xia Kingdom and the woman stand quietly outside my palace and wait for two or three hours!"
"According to the decree."
"Come, be prepared. I want to go to Nancheng to meet the 'good son' of the 'Zhongyong' family, Zhe Keqiu!"
