Chen Ke had completely different attitudes towards Liang Yimi and Xixia. He tried to be gentle with the former, but extremely tough with the latter.//Baidu Search See the latest chapter//Because only by putting enough pressure on the Xixia people can they be forced to fight back.
The side of him revealed his true colors of fierceness and inner weakness.
But he was really worried about the young Li Liangzuo, fearing that the boy would get hot-headed and do something irrational. The task of bringing down the fire for Li Liangzuo fell on Liang Yimi's shoulders.
Because Liang Yimi has achieved his goal, as long as he can find a way to end it and avoid the chaos, he will accept it even if he goes back and gets punished. Therefore, Liang Yimi had to be used by Chen Ke to persuade Li Liangzuo to withdraw his troops.
It can be seen from this incident that Chen Ke's ability to do things has improved and his style has changed. Speaking of ability, he is thousands of miles away and knows the situation in Xixia very well. He is convinced that they are simply bluffing, and then he can make a surprising decision.
Tough strategy.
Speaking of style, he is no longer the desperate Saburo who used all his strength to fight tigers and rabbits. He cleverly took advantage of the different thoughts of the Xixia monarchs and ministers, and used a few tricks to defeat Li Liangzuo's most trusted minister.
, became his helper, and he was willing to do so.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Liang Yimi was still a little frightened when he came outside the king's tent. When he went out, he vowed to make the Song Dynasty surrender, but who knew that when he turned around, he would have to persuade his master to surrender.
Everyone has to panic.
However, he couldn't just hang around outside all the time, so Liang Yimi finally gritted his teeth and went in.
"How's it going?" Li Liangzuo had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When he saw him coming in, he asked, "Is the Song Dynasty a bear?"
"Uh..." Liang Yimi swallowed his saliva and said, "There is no bear either..."
"What do you mean?" Li Liangzuo asked confused.
"What Xiong means is that they are here to seek peace." Liang Yimi whispered: "What Xiong means is that if we don't withdraw our troops within three days, the original alliance will be invalidated and the two countries will have to fight each other.
.Of course, the yearly gift and the market for inquiry are all gone.”
"..." Li Liangzuo immediately darkened his face. Holding the last bit of luck, he said, "If they withdraw, will they marry the princess to me?"
"Is this..." Liang Yimi opened his eyes and lied: "The rules of the Song Dynasty are the most rigid. It is said that intermarriage with the same surname will be punished by God. Therefore, you must never marry the princess to your majesty."
"Humph, is this an attitude of seeking peace?" Li Liangzuo asked.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The envoy from the Song Dynasty said that all other aspects are easy to discuss." Liang Yimi quickly said: "For example, the annual gifts, the market can be restored, the "Nine Classics", "Cefu Yuangui" and court greeting etiquette can be restored.
Books can still be given."
"This is what they agreed to early on!" Li Liangzuo looked at Liang Yimi suspiciously and said, "What is the attitude of the people of the Song Dynasty? Tell me the truth."
"Yes..." Liang Yi saw that He Xini's method worked, and Fang cautiously said: "There are experts in the Song Dynasty..."
"how to say?"
"Although they are afraid, they know that we can't afford to lose the opportunity," Liang Yimi replied: "So they sent a stupid young man over and declared that if we didn't get better, we would give up and not save Dashun City.
The walls are strong and the fields are clear. Hold on to the fortress and see what we can do to them!"
"..." Li Liangzuo stopped talking.
After more than a month of dispatching troops, although Li Liangzuo invaded four directions and fought thousands of miles away, he did not get any benefits. Because he faced the most elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty. There were also outstanding generals such as Zhong Family General and Zhe Family General. General. What's even more terrible is that the fortresses and camps built by Fan Gong were built in four directions, forming a desperate line of defense. If the Party members wanted to attack the soft hinterland of the Song Dynasty, they had to remove these fortresses one by one... Just the city of Dashun made his 100,000-strong army cry out. How could he have the confidence to touch those swarms of nails?
During the discussion earlier today, Li Liangzuo clearly felt that the princes and generals were full of opinions about this wasteful expedition. Many people's words had already come out, "Your Majesty has not considered it." , "This expedition is too impulsive" and other disrespectful words.
The sense of crisis engraved in the bones of the old Li family immediately occupied Li Liangzuo's mind. He realized that if this matter was not handled properly, the authority he had so easily established might collapse.
The princes had no idea of a war. All they could think about was the mountains of green salt, furs, wolfberries, and thousands of cattle and sheep in their own territories... These products that had been accumulated for many years could not be sold. Without going to the department stores of the Song Dynasty, their lives would be difficult. They had really suffered from the lack of supplies over the years and never wanted to continue.
So we can’t lose the discussion...
Li Liangzuo thought about it and found that the Song Dynasty man actually pinched his seven inches, making him unable to use his strength. This feeling was terrible. The young Xixia Emperor walked around in the tent like a wolf, Huo De stood in front of Liang Yimi, his eyes blazing and said: "You said the people of the Song Dynasty would definitely surrender!"
"I deserve to die," Liang Yimi quickly lowered his head and said, "I underestimated the people of the Song Dynasty..."
"It doesn't matter that you underestimated them," Li Liangzuo said, waving his arms angrily: "But you made it difficult for a few people to ride a tiger!" If he didn't accept the Song Dynasty's ultimatum, he couldn't bear the consequences. If he accepted it, wouldn't his prestige be ruined?
"All responsibilities fall to your Majesty." Liang Yimi leaned over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty has nothing to do with it."
"Can you afford it?" Li Liangzuo spat. The astute Emperor of Xixia knew very well that if he passed all the responsibilities to Liang Yimi, others would laugh at him for having no independent opinion and being easily influenced by others. The right way is He could not lose his image even if a man died and a bird fell to the sky. So he gritted his teeth and said: "This dispatch of troops is my own decision!"
"Your Majesty..." Liang Yimi burst into tears.
"Stop crying." Li Liangzuo turned around and didn't want to look at him anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Invite my uncle."
"Yes..." Liang Yimi stood up heavily.
Wei Minglangyu quickly followed Liang Yi and saw frustration written all over the little emperor's face. However, he saluted calmly and then stood in awe.
"Uncle." Li Jiqian, the descendant of Li Yuanhao, naturally doesn't know what integrity is. Li Liangzuo walked up to Wei Minglangyu, looked at him with shame on his face and said, "You know everything, right?"
"Liang Yimi has already told me." Wei Minglangyu said expressionlessly.
"My nephew regrets very much that he didn't listen to his uncle at first," Li Liangzuo said in a low voice: "Now it's hard to get off the tiger, and my nephew doesn't know what to do." After saying that, he bowed deeply and said, "My nephew apologized to my uncle. , I will definitely not dare not listen to your teachings in the future."
"Well, how can a young man not be impulsive?" Wei Minglangyu quickly helped him up and sighed: "When I was as old as your majesty, I would draw a sword against someone if I disagreed with them."
"What should my nephew do now?" Li Liangzuo didn't have the patience to listen to his talk about ancient times.
"Sending troops this time is destined to bring little benefit. Instead of having no success and being full of resentment, it is better to make a decisive decision and withdraw the troops quickly." Wei Minglangyu said in a deep voice.
"Do we really have to admit our mistake and withdraw our troops?" Li Liangzuo said helplessly.
"The first rule of an emperor is that you must never admit your mistakes." Wei Minglangyu shook his head and said seriously: "As long as you admit your mistakes once, the princes and ministers below will think that you will make mistakes again and will not take you seriously again."
"Yes." Li Liangzuo said with horror, "That's what my uncle taught me."
"This little minister doesn't understand. Doesn't withdrawing the troops mean admitting a mistake? Doesn't admitting a mistake mean withdrawing the troops?" Liang Yimi interjected in a low voice.
"Idiot!" Wei Minglangyu couldn't get angry at Li Liangzuo, but he was not polite to him: "You can just be a fool, don't implicate His Majesty in making stupid moves!"
Liang Yi's face turned red immediately and he groaned without daring to say a word.
"Haha, what uncle is teaching you is," Li Liangzuo now felt that he was a fool, so he gave him a false kick and said, "Get away as far as you can!"
Seeing Liang Yimi exiting in despair, Wei Minglangyu felt much better, so he whispered instructions to the little emperor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a while, Li Liangzuo raised his account again.
All the princes thought that blackmailing the Song envoy had come to fruition, and they all waited excitedly to hear the good news.
However, a veteran messenger came forward and reported in a loud voice: "Urgent military situation, Hehuang Sisiluo took advantage of our army to go south and led his troops to invade Hexi. Lord Shuming, please ask your Majesty to return to the army as soon as possible.
Protect your concubine!"
"Damn Tubo barbarians, how dare they take advantage of the situation and rob them!" Li Liangzuo said angrily: "Let them be arrogant for two days, and then we can go back and deal with them after we take Dashun City!"
"Your Majesty, no, Dashun City is right here. We can attack it whenever we want, but our people in Daxia cannot wait." Wei Minglang met out of the queue and said: "Now it seems that the Tubo people are our serious concern.
The people of the Song Dynasty just kept quiet, so it was not a problem. We should concentrate our efforts to deal with Hehuang and Tubo first, and then settle accounts with the Song Dynasty after we have nothing to worry about!"
"What the emperor said is..." Li Liangzuo came to his senses and said, "This time it will be easier for the Song people." Then he slammed the table and said, "Then withdraw the troops!"
"Wait a minute." Wei Minglangyu quickly dissuaded him: "Being attacked from both sides is a taboo for military strategists. In order to do our best to deal with Tubo, we have to appease the Song Dynasty... Since they ask us to abide by the covenant, we have the right to agree or let it go.
There is a way out for the domestic backlog of goods and it will restore our national strength."
The princes are not stupid, they are obedient, and Liang Yi is nowhere to be seen. Why don't they understand that the little emperor is determined to quit? In this case, I am afraid that he will continue to save face and hinder the business of the market. He is busy.
They all echoed: "What Ning Ling said is absolutely true. We have the right to be gentle with the Song Dynasty. After Tibet is dealt with and the backlog of goods is dealt with, it will not be too late to settle accounts with them."
"..." Li Liangzuo then said with a 'this is what you said': "A small impatience will ruin a big plan, just listen to the emperor's uncle."
