Chapter 1722 Among the temporary allies, there are also members of our army
As the king of a country, practicing the art of emperorship, Li Qianshun knew that he was completely motivated by the safety and interests of his country. No matter internal or external, he must kill decisively and ruthlessly when necessary. But even if he has a heart of stone, he is still a mortal of flesh and blood. , For the flesh and blood that he loves the most, and for his lover who has been with him for more than 20 years, for an emperor like Li Qianshun who puts the interests of the country far above the love of his children, once he gets emotional and thinks about the past, It still inevitably touches the most vulnerable side of the soul.
It turns out that the queen of the Xia Kingdom, Princess Cheng'an Yelu Nanxian, the daughter of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Dynasty, was granted a marriage by the Liao Kingdom more than 20 years ago (1105). She married Li Qianshun and was established as the queen of the Xia Kingdom. It is said that the princesses granted marriage by the superior country will always have a deep gap with the concubines in the harem of the country, and political marriages are also due to the status of the mother of the Xia Kingdom, so they must be dignified and solemn, and pay attention to the mother's status. However, Yerunan Although women like Xian Na always appeared to be very independent and proud, what Li Qianshun remembered most was that she was gentle and considerate when dealing with him, and she was not at all like the dignified and airy queen. She had a sense of playfulness in her words and deeds. It was even more valuable. What's strange is that Yerunanxian, as a concubine, was given a marriage directly from the Liao Kingdom and became the master of the Xia Kingdom's harem. However, she was as close to the other concubines as sisters, and they got along well with each other, and they seemed to have a kind of harmony with each other. Innate spirituality and affinity...
I have been in love with such a woman for more than 20 years. We are not like grass and trees. How can Li Qianshun not be so affectionate?
The prince Li Renai born to Li Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, with excellent morals and academics. He has always been cultivated as a prince. Li Qianshun is a majestic king to the outside world, but he also devotes his feelings to Yelu Nanxian and Li Renai. Ren Ai. However, the Liao Dynasty was finally over. Although Li Qianshun sent troops to rescue several times, he was killed by the Jin army, which was in full swing at the time. After finally weighing the pros and cons, the survival of the Xia Kingdom was the top priority, and Li Qianshun had no choice but to He gave up the Liao Dynasty, which was irreversibly destroyed, and took an oath to express his willingness to surrender to the Jin Kingdom.
From the perspective of weighing the pros and cons of national affairs, Li Qianshun knew that he had to make this choice for the survival of the Xia Kingdom. However, although both Yelu Nanxian and Li Renai had deep feelings for their motherland, he did not expect that their mother and son would mourn the death of the Liao Kingdom. One died of worry and anger, the other committed suicide on hunger strike...
As the king of a country, Li Qianshun knew that it was a national matter and he could give up the love of his children. Of course, he would never mention his sorrow and sorrow to others. However, the more he did it, he inadvertently thought of Yerunan. Xian and Li Ren'ai are a loving wife and son, but his heart still seems to have been severely cut out. A look of desolation and loneliness seems to have emerged on Li Qianshun's majestic face, not far away. Brother Cha seemed to be aware of something, and he let out a subtle sigh.
Li Qianshun secretly sighed in his heart, but he saw Xu Guanzhong and others still standing respectfully in front of him with hands solemn. His face was straight, and he deliberately showed the majesty of the king. Xiao Tang and Jin, who must be drawn together to contain the other? , compared with the current threat to the Xia Kingdom, he had an idea in his mind, and then said: "...Now your lord Xiao Tang has indeed become a force of his own, but if I am willing to join forces with him to suppress the always fierce and arrogant The Kingdom of Jin... was attacked from both sides... After all, national affairs are no small matter. Mr. Xu also asked to go back to the post house temporarily. After I have summoned the Privy Council and the ministers of Yiwei to discuss it carefully, I will also Mr. Xu will be summoned for a talk."
When Xu Guanzhong and others saw it, it was known that Li Qianshun had almost turned to join forces with Xiao Tang to attack the Jin army. His worries were relieved, and when Xu Guanzhong and others all resigned, and accompanied the chamberlain to the palace, Li Qianshun After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said: Although the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed and there is no way to save it, at the beginning you, mother and son, also sadly urged me to save the descendants of the Khitan clan and must not obey the Jin people. In the end, our Xia Kingdom will survive. For this, you drank in hatred and refused to give me money, and died in anger... Now I am also making such a decision for the sake of state affairs, but at least I have an explanation for you, mother and son... ...

The Jurchen envoys sent by Wanyan Nianhan were placed in the Concierge Courtyard of Xingqing Mansion, while Xu Guanzhong and other people who had first arrived in the capital of Xia Kingdom in Tokyo were placed in a sinology department in Xingqing Mansion. In the post house, according to the arrangements of Li Qianshun and Brother Cha, before determining whether the country should turn to negotiate with Xiao Tang or continue to submit to the national policies of the Jin people and others, of course it was concealed that the Jurchen envoys were in Xingqing Mansion, and that Xiao Tang was actually there. The existence of envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty to negotiate.
The news might have leaked out, but Chage, the king of Jin, mobilized and arranged the troops of Xu Guanzhong and others. In addition to the confidants of the six squads of Zhizhong in the imperial siege, they were also the confidants of the Xia Army's Chuang Gonglang Army, which was mainly Han. It was a golden time. After the Song army invaded Guanxi, Longyou and other places in the Song Dynasty, the Song army troops that guarded the local areas were defeated one after another. In addition to those who died in battle, as well as those who were forced to serve as officials, or who fled south and returned to the Song Dynasty due to defeat, there were also some soldiers who were defeated and returned to the Song Dynasty. The geographical location is favorable and he will defect to the Xia Kingdom in the west. Therefore, Xu Guanzhong and others are arranged to use the Han people in the army, including those soldiers who were originally from the Song army who were forced to defect to the Xia Dynasty and still hate the Jin people. It is naturally the safest. .
As soon as Xu Guanzhong, Chai Jin, Lehe, and Duan Jingzhu were welcomed out of the imperial city, they walked into the carriage. Soon, a group of armored guards followed them to lead the group. The accompanying general is even more majestic. He carries two swords on his back, rides on a tall vest with clanking leaves, and is tall and tall. However, although this general has lightning eyes and a strong back, he does not have a mustache under his chin. Look at his age. Zhemo is only about twenty.
However, this general, who seemed to be on duty to escort the envoys, looked at Xu Guanzhong and others with a somewhat indifferent look. It seemed that he only knew that these people were envoys sent by Xiao Tang, who had been ordered by Cha Ge Ning to be temporarily protected. However, the Han people of Xia State, the old troops of the Song Army, and the group of commander-in-chief rebels commanded by Xiao Tang were not affiliated with each other to begin with, and they may not all be of the same mind. For example, they were favored by Cha Ge and fought fiercely with Xiao Tang. A few battles later, the Xia Guobao Tai Army Commander met with his son, the Han Army General Wu Yuan Na. Although they followed the orders of Cha Ge Ning and kept silent, they looked down at Xu Guanzhong and others. Their relationship could not be said to be very familiar.
However, when the general led his troops and horses to send Xu Guanzhong and others back to the post house, he looked around coldly and said to his subordinates: "According to Cha Ge Ning's order, envoys still have to go to the imperial city to discuss matters during these days. Matters. You must be more careful when coming and going, and don't let any news leak. I still have an explanation with this envoy, so you should step back first."
After listening to the general's order, all his bodyguards also accepted the order with a bang, and immediately filed out from the door of the post house. Until everyone entered the post house hall, they were in harmony, and Duan Jingzhu stayed around looking around. After looking at it for a while, Lehe, who was very alert and aware of the details, turned around and said to Xu Guanzhong and others: "The servants in the post house have dispersed for a while. Now they are all my brothers. I am here to watch you." , and don’t worry about whether the partition wall has ears.”
The general, who had been facing others with a cold face, suddenly changed his expression after hearing what he said. He hurriedly walked to Xu Guanzhong and Chai Jin and said with great enthusiasm and kindness: "Brothers, what do you say, the leader of the Xia Kingdom?
Do you agree to temporarily join forces with Brother Xiao Tang to conquer the Jurchen Tatars? I, Li Shifu, have been waiting anxiously for a long time! If it can be done, not only can I teach the Xia people to temporarily provide reinforcements, but I will also have the opportunity to do so this time.
Fight side by side with Brother Xiao and join hands to kill the Jurchen Tatars, so that I can avenge my father and the entire Li family!"
