There is no need to go to Duting Station, because the imperial court no longer approves of the Northern Liao mission. But you still have to go to Duting West Station.
As the ambassador of the embassy, Gao Yi still has to do things within the scope of his responsibilities.
The princes have said that they still have to perform their duties. As for Gao Yi, he did not apologize. Chui Gongdian was not scolded. He seemed to understand how to treat the Xixia envoys.
Gao Yi's surname is Gao, and he can reach the crown princess clan even if he climbs a few steps, but he will be out of the fifth server early.
In recent years, I have been diligent in moving around, and I am a Jinshi, so the Gao family has recognized this family.
He was not at ease about going to Duting Xiyi to meet the Xixia envoys.
Those are all barbarians, and the imperial court is not prepared to compromise this time. It would be uneconomical for him to be injured or even killed by those barbarians in Dutingxiyi if he really disagrees with one or two sentences.
The envoy was accompanied by military soldiers, but he was really worried about the soldiers of the Imperial Guards.
After thinking about it, he thought of Gao Jingxian. He was Gao Jingxian's brother, and he had had several banquets.
It would be great if we could borrow a few soldiers from the guard camp... The strength of the soldiers in the guard camp is well known throughout the country.
"Brother, you should not do this unless you respect the virtuous. The mobilization of soldiers in the guard camp is equivalent to the mobilization of the imperial army of the country. And the dispatch of troops in the guard camp can only be ordered by His Royal Highness..."
Gao Jingxian is really interested in visiting the Western Post Office in Duting. He is about to take action for real, so it is meaningful to know the capabilities of Xixia warriors in advance.
It's just that this is not the Forbidden Army, but a guard camp. In the Forbidden Army, even if you borrow soldiers from Yidu, no one will make any irresponsible remarks.
As for the guard camp, if you dare to use someone for personal use, it is also a serious crime. You will most likely be kicked out of the guard camp and stripped of all titles...
"Brother, wait a moment. Your Highness is in the guard camp today. I will give you a reply after I ask."
Gao Jingxian always felt that this was a good opportunity to understand the Xixia warriors... In fact, he just didn't understand them because he had never served in the Western Army.
Many soldiers in the guard camp know the Xixia warriors very well.
"Are you saying that the ambassador Gao Yi is a clan brother? You want to borrow troops from the guard camp to escort him to Dutingxi Station?"
It seems that Zhao Xi has never heard Tao Niang talk about this person. Is there actually a civil servant with Jinshi background in the Gao family?
"We are considered brothers in the clan. We only came to know each other in recent years."
That's right, it turned out to be a marriage. Zhao Xi understood that, let alone Tao Niang, just talking about the original threshold of the Gao family, it was normal for someone to marry.
It's just this borrowing of troops...
"High Commander, have you forgotten the discipline of the guard camp? Or are you saying that I, Mr. Lu, do not enforce it strictly?"
In the guard camp, the duty of the instructors is to regulate the rules and regulations. However, after so many years, the guard camp has soaked the rules and regulations into their bones, and there is no violation of the regulations at all.
Privately mobilizing the soldiers of the guard camp, let alone Gao Jingxian, who is the crown prince's biological father and uncle, Lu Gongzhu dared to deal with it in accordance with the regulations of the guard camp.
Gao Jingxian had this idea, but he didn’t take the rules and regulations seriously!
"Wait a minute...Uncle Ji, the ministers think that what Gao Yi said: a million soldiers marched through Helan Mountain is considered an insult to Xixia, but is it really so?"
Gao Jingxian's behavior should not be considered a violation, but a request for instructions. Zhao Xi is not being partial, that is the fact.
"Your Highness, as far as I know, since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court has never mentioned military affairs in its treatment of Liao and Xia envoys. As for what Gao Yi said, how Xia envoy Wu Zong relayed it, and how Xixia King Li Liang responded to the fraud.
I don’t know.”
Lu Gongzhu understood what His Highness the Crown Prince meant. The workshops of the guard camp, including the Neiyuan Workshop, had begun to produce sleeping bags and compressed biscuits in large quantities. In other words, His Highness the Crown Prince was already preparing for war.
If Gao Yi's words fail to anger the Xia envoy, or if the Xia envoy tells it tactfully, it may lead to all preparations for war being in vain... If the country wants to provoke a war, the court will be scolded to death.
Indeed, Zhao Xi really felt that Gao Yi's few words were not enough and needed to be given more weight.
Nowadays, the tracks of Jingzhao Mansion and Qinfeng Road are almost connected. Except for the Hedong Road, there are still some gaps. The foundation for transporting troops at the border with Xixia is already in place.
On our side, we have stepped up the replenishment of relevant armaments.
In addition, Zhao Xi also ordered Xue Xiang to launch the Xixia grain and wool trading plan.
Even Zhao Xi has discussed the troop deployment strategy with Han Qi...this time he plans to mobilize all the new troops to coordinate with the Western Army and play a big game with Xixia.
Moreover, Fu Bi had already cooperated with his father to complete the entire deployment of the war against Xixia.
This matter really cannot be eliminated, it must be promoted.
Now, it might be a good opportunity to send soldiers from the escort battalion, disguised as Gao Yi guards, to enter Duting West Station...
"In this way, select fifty people who are good at fighting and accompany them in and out of Duting West Station. But there is a task that must be completed."
"Before the Xixia envoy leaves Bianliang, you must complete an insult to the Xixia envoy, the kind of insult that results in a deadly feud."
"No matter what the specific method is, this task must be completed. In addition, inform Gao Yi that if something happens because of this, the escort battalion will take care of him."
This is no longer a matter of simply guarding the camp, this is a matter involving the imperial court's foreign strategy.
After Zhao Xi finished making arrangements, he left the guard camp.
Today, there is nothing wrong with Xiu Mu, even his father is resting. But about this matter, Zhao Xi feels that he needs to clear the air with Fu Bi and Han Qizhi... He can't let Gao Yi take the blame in the end, he can still be regarded as Taoniang's clan. .
The guard camp has a special area for receiving outsiders, and Gao Yi is waiting here. It doesn't matter how long he waits, as long as he can bring the soldiers of the guard camp with him... This should be the first one in the entire dynasty, right? It's beautiful to think about.
Is that the carriage of His Highness the Crown Prince? Why did he get out? Can my cousin still invite His Highness the Crown Prince?
"Brother..."
"Brother Xian, that is..."
"Don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask! In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince has given me permission to take people with you in and out of the Duting West Posthouse. But one thing is, except for bickering and scraping piles of paper, all other matters will be made by me. "
Gao Jingxian cut off the trouble, and simply took over the entire direction of dealing with the Xixia envoys.
His Royal Highness the Prince was anxious to leave, but Lu Gongzhu explained the stakes to him clearly. In the end, even Zhong Yi and Zhe Keke were willing to participate as soldiers.
This is because Cao Lin is guarding Dutingyi, otherwise all four commanders of the guard camp will be present... This level is really not something that a brother of his clan can handle.
Military generals of the imperial dynasty never have this kind of awareness when facing civil servants, but the guard camp is different. Not only that Gao Jingxian's official rank is higher than Gao Yi, even the title of the East Palace guard camp cannot be commanded by Gao Yi.
The guard camp, and even the new army soldiers trained in the guard camp, have an inexplicable sense of superiority, which was deliberately cultivated by Zhao Xi's doctrine and regulations.
The army should have the pride of the army and the pride it deserves. This is the embodiment of the backbone of the country's subjects.
