Chapter seven hundred and fifty fifth pressing step by step
Although the emperor of the Song Dynasty was weak externally, he was very ruthless internally, especially in the military field. He would rather destroy his limbs than repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the Song Dynasty ultimately died at the hands of others rather than at the hands of others.
In one's own hands.
It can be seen that it was a taboo of the Song Dynasty emperor to deploy troops and generals without authorization. Li Qi would never dare to use his brain in this regard unless necessary.
However, the current situation no longer allows him to care so much. If the situation here is reported to Song Huizong truthfully, it is conceivable that Tong Guan and Cai You will definitely find various reasons to start war against Xixia, especially Tong Guan,
This eunuch who is not like a eunuch knows very well that war is his advantage. Once he enters the peaceful age, he will definitely fall out of favor and may even be killed.
In fact, Li Qi also wanted to use troops against Xixia. After all, the other party was already on top. But the situation is different now. There is still a tiger watching in the north. Once the Song Dynasty really breaks out in an all-out war with Xixia, as long as Wanyan Sheng is not broken.
If he wants to win, then he will definitely reap the benefits of being a fisherman and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Therefore, Li Qi must be patient. His idea is to unite with Xixia to jointly contain the Jin Kingdom.
But this kind of tolerance is not the kind of humiliating tolerance. This is definitely not Li Qi's style. What he wants is the kind that comes naturally, and the other party has to take the initiative to come to him.
So, he took advantage of the Zhong Family Army and Zhe Family Army to break out of the stronghold and advance, and ordered people to release the news, saying that the Song Dynasty had gathered an army of 500,000 to 600,000 troops, and attacked in three directions, preparing to destroy Xixia in one fell swoop. What else could the Song Dynasty have invented?
He invented a new type of weapon. With the help of this weapon, he will be invincible. At the same time, Lanzhou's reinforcements also left Lanzhou City, marched fifty miles and set up camp, and began to set up defenses on the front line. The scale was jaw-dropping.
Obviously, this is Li Qi's hype. You must know that hype is not only a common method in the entertainment industry, but also in politics.
Nowadays, rumors are spreading in the northwest, and the merchants who have passed by have stopped all transactions. Li Qi also asked Zui Xianju to suspend business with Xixia, and both sides are ready to prepare.
The Zhong Family Army and the Zhe Family Army also conducted large-scale drills on the border to show off their muscles. From time to time, they used grenades borrowed from Li Qi to fire a few shots, and they even chose to fire them at night. This can put Xixia's
The soldiers were driven insane, but the Song army never crossed the border.
Various rumors, coupled with the movements of the Song army, the army seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
In fact, when the Zhejia Army arrived to the east of the Yellow River, half of the Xixia soldiers gathered in Lanzhou went to assist. They did not dare to underestimate the Zhejia Army. In addition, their vanguard army was there a few days ago.
In just a few hours, the entire army was wiped out by the Song army, and even the generals did not escape. What kind of strength is this!
They had to associate this with the new weapons rumored outside. Moreover, at the beginning of this year, the Song Arms Supervisor suddenly became famous all over the world. The key is that they have not seen this new weapon. This makes them even more afraid. How can they dare to
Attack and guard the border firmly to prevent sudden attacks by the Song army.
Obviously, the Song army's move to encircle Wei, rescue Zhao, and marry Zhao had achieved good results. At least the crisis in Lanzhou had been resolved.
Seeing the Song army approaching step by step, Xixia began to ask for help from its eldest brother, the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom now did not know what kind of powerful weapons the Song Army had invented, and Wanyan Sheng had just ascended the throne. They were preparing to recuperate and consolidate internal affairs, and that day
Emperor Zuo Yelu Yanxi has not yet been captured. As long as Emperor Tian Zuo remains alive, how can they sleep peacefully in the face of thousands of Khitan people, let alone send troops to the Song Dynasty? Moreover, he
I also wanted the Song Dynasty to send troops to Xixia.
However, he did not directly reject Xixia. After all, the other party had surrendered to him. He just told him not to be afraid. The Song army did not dare to take action and he would put pressure on the Song court. In addition, he used the Song Dynasty as his ally.
And Emperor Tianzuo has not yet grasped the reason to deal with Xixia.
The people of Xixia also understood what Jin Guo was thinking. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he was afraid. He was also afraid that if he fought with the Song Dynasty, if Jin Guo stabbed him in the back, then Xixia would surely perish.
The Emperor of Xixia, who saw this clearly, gradually understood the fact that among the three kingdoms of Xixia, Song, and Jin, except for the Jin Kingdom, whoever made the first move would die first.
In the big tent.
"Ten, j, q, k, a. Straight --- do you two want it? It seems that it is too big, big and small, a pair of mistresses. Haha, I have three blows in total, plus you two are
Before a card is played, it is equivalent to four explosions. We are the bottom of fifty coins, so that is---I do the math, one hundred, two hundred, four hundred, eight hundred, not more, not more, just eight hundred.
It’s just literature.”
Li Qi looked at Master Zhongdao, Zhe Kecun's two miserable faces, and said happily.
"Eight hundred coins per handful?"
Zhe Kecun looked at Li Qi in surprise.
Li Qi smiled and said: "General Zhe, don't you think I am opportunistic? You can ask the breeder about this!"
This kid is really too shady. Master Zhong cursed secretly and nodded helplessly.
Zhe Kecun's eyes were red with depression. He heard Li Qi say that just for fun, he only needed fifty cents. He thought that he could survive with his small salary, but he didn't expect that this one would kill him.
Oh my fate! At this time, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was that he had been tricked by Li Qi.
"Bu Shuai."
At this time, Yue Fei suddenly walked in, but when he saw these three big guys playing poker, he was immediately stunned. He stared blankly at the scene in front of him, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Master Zhong coughed lightly and said, "Yue Fei, what's the matter with you?"
Yue Fei was slightly startled and said hurriedly: "According to the report from the sentinel, Xixia's envoy is already on the way."
Master Zhong said oh, with a very solemn expression on his face, and said: "This is a big deal. Go and let others come to discuss the matter in the tent."
Zhe Kecun nodded and said, "That's right. Feel free to call me Meiyue and Yanzhi."
"yes."
Yue Fei nodded and immediately turned around and left.
Master Zhong stood up and said, "Sir, I go and wash my face first."
"Just in time, I also want to go down and arrange it. The breeder invites you first."
"please."
The two of them walked quickly outside.
Huh? Wasn't this expected a long time ago? Why are you so nervous? Wait a minute, you haven't paid me yet, fuck! Breeder, you can do such a thing as defaulting on your debt, you are so shameless.
Bar.
After realizing it later, Li Qi was so angry that he almost tore the entire poker into pieces.
After a while, Yue Fei, Niu Gao, Zhe Yanzhi and other generals all came to the big tent, but the atmosphere was very strange.
Li Qi sat on the seat. He said nothing, curled his lips, and kept glancing at Zhong Shidao and Zhe Kecun, but Zhong and Zhe both pretended not to see them, and closed their eyes to rest.
One of them was chatting quietly with Orimiyuki.
It's so shameless. Even if you don't give me money, why don't you give me an explanation? Li Qi shook his head helplessly and asked: "Yue Fei, do you know who the other party sent?"
Seeing that Li Qi finally spoke, Yue Fei felt inexplicably relieved and said, "Reporting to Bu Shuai, the person coming is the Prince of Xixia, Richard."
"he?"
Li Qi was stunned and laughed.
Zhong Shidao asked: "Why are you laughing?"
Li Qidao: "The breeder doesn't know. At the banquet of the Four Kingdoms, I had communicated with Richard. He was considered to be half an acquaintance. Xixia sent him here. Obviously he wanted to play the friendship card--Oh my God, I Why, when I mentioned the cards today, I felt like something was missing."
Yue Fei and the others felt baffled when they heard Li Qi's change of subject.
Zhong Shidao heard that he was holding on to the eight hundred coins. He was angry and funny in his heart, pretending not to know, and said with a deep eyebrow: "Then what you mean is that Xixia wants to reconcile with us."
Li Qi was also afraid that Zhongshi Dao would go crazy. He stopped and nodded, saying: "Yes. Xixia originally wanted to seize Lanzhou and Hehuang area. But obviously their plan did not succeed. Not only did it not succeed, but they also lost their troops. Youdao has been trying hard all at once, and then failed again and again, and finally exhausted. I believe they no longer have this idea. In addition, we have shown our strength and told them that we are prepared, and they should retreat in the face of difficulties. But , If we don’t retreat, they don’t dare to retreat either. Now they are stealing the chicken but losing the rice. It’s easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down.”
Master Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Qi chuckled: "Then it depends on what they say."
Seeing the evil smile on Li Qi's lips, Zhong Shidao smiled and shook his head. In this regard, he was still very confident about Li Qi.
The next morning.
In front of the military camp, I saw rows of soldiers holding spear handles on all sides, heavily guarded, and the sharp spearheads gave off a chilling cold light.
Li Qi, Zhong Shidao and others also arrived in front of the big tent at the right time. After all, the other party was also a prince, so he couldn't be too shabby.
At this time, a group of people suddenly rushed over. I saw Richard arriving in front of the big tent with a few attendants and forty or fifty guards.
"King of Golden Knife Chefs, it has been more than a year since we parted ways at the Four Kingdoms Banquet. I really want to die as my brother." Richard got off his horse and before Li Qi could say anything, he rushed forward and pulled him affectionately. Holding his hand, he said enthusiastically.
As a brother? You can get close to me, right? Li Qi chuckled: "Your Majesty, you want my cooking, right?"
"Haha. I want it all, I want it all!"
Richard laughed and said to Master Zhong again. Zhe Kecun cupped his hands and said: "Zhong Gong, General Zhe, you're fine." But he was secretly surprised in his heart. The three of them were gathered here. Could it be that all those rumors were true? of?
"Be polite, be polite."
The performance of Zhe and Zhong was unusually mediocre.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the group arrived at Lanzhou Fuyamen.
"Your Majesty, please sit down."
"please."
After everyone sat down, the servant also brought tea, but the tea was just like water, and the cakes were even blacker, which made them unappetizing.
Richard glanced at the pastry, his mind as clear as a mirror, but he pretended not to know: "This pastry is so strange, could it be a newly developed one by King Jin Dao Chef?"
Damn you, you are ruining my reputation. Li Qi lamented: "Of course not. In fact, this is made of grass roots and glutinous rice. Don't be offended, Your Majesty. I learned that Your Majesty came yesterday, and I also wanted to make it." I served some delicious pastries for the prince to point out, but it’s a pity that a clever woman can’t cook without rice. I’m not afraid of the prince’s joke. The tens of thousands of stones of grain that our Song Dynasty transported to the northwest suddenly disappeared. No, the remaining grain can only be All is left for the soldiers to eat. They are always ready to go into battle to kill the enemy. They can't go hungry. There is no other way. We commanders can only set an example and eat these grass roots to fill our stomachs. By the way, your Xixia is so close to here. I don't know, Your Majesty. Do you know where our food went?"
Richard was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile on his face: "The chef king is joking, how could I know? But the high moral integrity of these people really makes me admire them!"
Zhe Kecun laughed a few times and said: "No, no, we are forced to have no choice but to be so upright and honest."
Richard glanced at Zhe Kecun and suddenly said: "By the way, General Zhe and Zhong Gong, I heard recently that your Zhe Family Army and Zhong Family Army often go out for drills, and they are more diligent than usual."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qi, Zhong Shidao and others all glanced at each other. Zhe Kecun smiled and said: "Soldiers naturally have to be trained. Do you keep all your Xixia soldiers at home? As for why there are more than usual, that's my fault.
I cannot tell you the military secrets of the Song Dynasty, and I hope you will forgive me."
Richard said seriously: "It's normal for you to train troops, but is there something wrong with the location you chose?" (To be continued...)
