On April 22nd, in the afternoon, Zhao Jiu saw Xiao Heda at the intersection outside Baoanjun Jintang City, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he called him a rather embarrassing name.
"The foreign minister pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
At this time, Xiao Heda, who came forward with several attendants and several Dangxiang tribal leaders, no longer had the unruly attitude he had shown before in Hengshan. Instead, he prostrated himself at the foot of the horse, and then bowed his head and explained briefly. "Okay. Let your majesty know that since the foreign minister has changed his mind, he has also restored his original surname, and now he has brought Xiao Heda back... The surname Wei Ming was deceived by the thief Li Qianshun in Xiazhou in the past, and he was temporarily given it."
"General Xiao, you have endured the humiliation and bear the burden. You have worked hard. Get up." Zhao Jiu stood on his horse and followed the good deeds. "However, as the saying goes, Duke Zhou feared the day of rumors, Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp it... Li Qianshun was so humble to the Khitan at that time, and if it had not been for the Khitan several times To save him, Xixia had perished as early as Zhezong... Who would have thought that he could see that the situation was not good, abandon the Khitan and follow the golden dog? It would be fine to follow the golden dog, but he would not even have a wife and his own flesh and blood for decades. Is he still a human being if he is directly killed? I can only say that no wonder General Xiao was deceived in the past, and no wonder General Xiao is angry and does anything today."
Let's talk about it, Xiao Heda stood up alone and only had time to glance at the famous dragon banner behind Zhao Guan's family that was hunting in the summer wind. Before he thought about it, he heard these words, and then he was so majestic and the general's eyes were red. I don’t know if it’s just an act or if it’s true.
This is really hard to say.
It stands to reason that Xiao Heda is the escort of Princess Nanxian, and the mother and son of Princess Nanxian are both prosperous and devastated, so it is natural that they have some feelings for each other.
However, seeing that this person did not rebel when Xixia completely fell to the Jin Kingdom, and did not rebel when Princess Nanxian's mother and son died one after another. Now he heard that Yelu Dashi and the Song Dynasty attacked Xixia together, but it cannot be said that it was only after the death of Princess Nanxian that he consciously The status of these Khitan ministers in Xixia had plummeted, and Xiao Heda himself was even more dissatisfied that his power in the Hengshan area had been usurped by the Xixia nation, so he gradually began to rebel.
Of course, to put it another way, there was no hope of successful resistance at that time, so it was possible to endure for a while. It is hard to say that they were just doing it for their own wealth and power.
At this thought, Zhao Jiu looked down at this person, and laughed again in public: "General Xiao, I see that you are a righteous and loyal minister, you have achieved great achievements this time, and you are still a minister who has subjugated the country and has no master, and I cherish you very much... ...I would like to invite you to be the commander-in-chief of the imperial class, how about it?"
As soon as this statement came out, the surrounding atmosphere inevitably became subtle:
First, I thought I would talk about the important things before entering the city, but I didn't expect Zhao Guan's family to be so straightforward, so they just let it go without a few words of reply when they met on the road; second, who was following the imperial driver at this time didn't know that the imperial class was straight. Controlling is definitely a mission with great power and responsibility. Although Zhao Guanjia is forcing him, he is also full of sincerity.
Therefore, the surrounding civil and military officials looked at each other again and again, but in the end they still focused their attention on Xiao Heda, who had just stood up.
Xiao Heda, whose weapons were confiscated in advance, was also sweating profusely.
Of course it's okay to sweat profusely at this time. It's late April and the weather is already very hot. Moreover, Xiao Heda came from Hongzhou to ride a horse. He worked hard for most of the day and was very tired. Sweating is natural. ... But sweating is sweating. This official asked a question, and he gave you such a good job. You have to answer, right?
"The foreign minister is ashamed." Xiao Heda sweated a lot, but he still had to face it. "The foreign minister is a Khitan, and King Dashi has formed an alliance with your majesty. Naturally, the foreign minister must return to Liao..."
"That's what it is." Zhao Jiuzhuang thought thoughtfully and continued to ask more questions on the horse. "But have you ever thought about it? The six counties in Hexi that I promised to Dashi Linya, plus Heishui, Heishan, Baima, and the four counties on the right side are
Military Secretary, and the land of the seven states in Hengshan is the territory of the Song Dynasty in terms of emotion, reason, agreement and reality... Therefore, if you want to return to Liao, of course I have nothing to say, but the Xia Dynasty where you have lived for twenty years
But the state is going to be led by this Hu Caosi; the more than 10,000 local Xiazhou soldiers you lead should also be sent by Wu Dutong, the imperial rear army... You are actually going to abandon the foundation of twenty years and return home.
Liao?"
Not only was Xiao Heda sweating profusely, but his face was also frightened. At this time, he should not be, nor should he be.
Yes, it means that he has to give up the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiazhou, as well as the tens of thousands of Khitan tribesmen who fled to Xiazhou to join him after the fall of the Liao Kingdom; no, it means that the emperor in front of him can turn against him at any time.
And an emperor who falls out of favor can kill him, the so-called famous commander of the Xiazhou Army, at any time... Oh my God, how can a powerful general like him be nothing in front of a Chinese emperor? Especially at this time he
Son, the army was abandoned in Hongzhou, surrounded by Wu Jie's 20,000 imperial army, and he himself came to the imperial commander almost alone.
"Xiao Qing?" Zhao Jiu finally became impatient and urged him half a sentence.
And following these words, I don't know if it was an illusion, but several fully armed generals behind the official moved forward half a step in unison, causing a group of armored cavalry to also take a half step forward.
"The foreign minister has returned to Liao." In desperation, Xiao Heda, who was forced into the corner, gritted his teeth and fought hard. Sure enough, he still tried his best to find the best solution with a sense of luck. "But tens of thousands of Khitan tribesmen in Xiazhou, as well as the army,
Khitan sergeant, I also ask your majesty to graciously give it to you, and Xu Chen will take it to Hexi..."
"Those are my people, why should I move with you?" Zhao Jiu immediately turned his back, obviously he had a plan in mind. "Isn't Xiao Qing a little arrogant about taking credit?"
Xiao Heda's heart sank.
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a civil servant suddenly reined in his horse and spoke with a serious look, but it was none other than Zheng Zhichang, the central minister. "I thought that Xiao Heda was a soldier who respected himself and was selling for a price. He treated him as a subordinate and a member of the same clan.
It is a private property, and if you kidnap it to offend someone, it will not last long. You must cut it to put it in perspective!"
Xiao Heda was stunned... He didn't know what had offended this unknown minister of the Song Dynasty. But soon, the commander of the Xiazhou army realized that he had not offended this person, but the official family of Zhao Song.
Personally, when the Zhao Song official heard the advice, he nodded without even thinking about it.
Next, what caught Xiao Heda off guard was that as the official nodded slightly, several majestic armored soldiers dismounted and rushed towards him. Dozens of armored knights directly circled around and surrounded him, and actually captured him directly, and even
The gag bits and binding ropes were already prepared.
At this time, Xiao Heda had just completely abandoned his luck mentality and became cold-hearted.
It's a pity that Xiao Heda didn't know the authority of an emperor, and he didn't know that he was just an ant in front of the other party. But he had dealt with Li Qianshun a lot, but he still developed some bad habits, so much so that he just wanted to
Get up, the Emperor of Zhao and Song Dynasties in front of you can kill even the Jiedushi like Liu Guangshi and the actual stay-at-home like Du Chong with his own hands. He can even shoot the emperor Wanyan Loushi face to face.
!
At this moment, they had a disagreement and if they really wanted to kill him, they would just kill him directly.
But when he came up, his mouth was gagged, his hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't even repent and beg for mercy... The yellow land beneath him seemed to be the burial place of Xiao Heda.
"Your Majesty, the Great Emperor!" Just when Xiao Heda was gagged and then dragged away to the outside, suddenly, a civilian party member who had been kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head and said with a wince
He spoke to Zhao Guanjia in almost stuttering Chinese, "You, you shouldn't have killed Xiao Tongjun!"
The several leaders of the Hengshan Dangxiang tribe who were kneeling in gorgeous clothes but did not dare to raise their heads, the internal and external civil and military ministers, officers and sergeants who were accompanying them, and Zhao Guanjia himself were all stunned for a moment, while the soldier who was dragging Xiao Heda was also in Yang.
Yizhong stopped suddenly at Yizhong's signal... The fork in the road outside Jintang City seemed to have fallen into a fragmented silence.
Only the dragon's quilt made a hunting sound, reminding everyone that time was still passing.
"Why can't I kill Xiao Heda?" Zhao Jiu suddenly laughed. "I want to kill a warlord who disobeys me, why not? Just because you are his attendant?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The man's face was red and he was sweating, but he kowtowed to the ground several times before trying his best to speak. "I, although I am an attendant of Xiao Tongjun, I am also the head of Youzhou Feilongyuan.
He is your Majesty's subject... I am speaking from my position as your Majesty's subject... I want to say that it is illegal for your Majesty to kill this person! It is unreasonable!"
Zhao Jiu started laughing more and more, and most of the civil and military people around him also laughed with him.
Amidst the laughter, this person, who was Ah Hua, gradually became more fluent in his speech: "Your Majesty, in such a situation, the seven states in Hengshan are destined to be His Majesty's prefectures and counties. The people, officials, tribes, and troops of the seven states,
They are all destined to be His Majesty's subjects... However, the sudden return of the seven states, which have been separated for hundreds of years, will inevitably turmoil people's hearts. To calm people's hearts, Your Majesty must not only follow the law, but also be moral, and also be tolerant and benevolent.
Yes... Xiao Heda has already chosen to be a foreign minister, but he is still greedy. This is of course his fault, but after all, he has been in Xiazhou for 20 years, and people are attached to him. Killing him at this time may make some stupid people
Someone has misunderstood and had thoughts that he shouldn't have, so please make a clear decision, Your Majesty."
Zhao Jiu nodded with a smile and looked at Hu Yin again, who had never smiled.
Let us say that this drama was arranged and discussed with Hu Yin, Lu Benzhong, Yang Yizhong and others after Zhao Jiu received the report from Wu Jie... After all, we will not mention the military matters of this trip for the time being, only talk about the treatment of new people.
The various tribes in the Land of Resurrection have long been registered and discussed... Of course, the Dangxiang people must be absorbed, won over, digested, and used, but for the Khitan people in the Hengshan area, there is only one use at this time, and that is
Quickly control and master it, and use it as a trump card that has a considerable clamping effect on Yelu Dashi.
There are tens of thousands of Khitan people. It is self-evident what Yelu Dashi's Western Liao regime means at this time.
In order to control these tribes, of course, their leaders must be stripped off, but it can only be done so as not to break the covenant.
In fact, even if this party member did not speak out just now, according to the plan, Hu Yin had to stand up and stop him, and then suggested that Xiao Heda should be spared, but that he should send it to Yelu Dashi in time to remind the latter not to be half-hearted.
effect.
But no one expected that a loyal person or a party member who had seen through the policy direction of the Zhao and Song Dynasty would suddenly appear and disrupt the situation for a while... Of course, it was said to be a disruption, but the effect was actually better.
.
At least we did it together with appeasing the party members, which saves trouble.
Returning to the front, he exchanged glances with Zhao Guan's family. Hu Yin and Hu Caosi, who had been robbed of a big part of the scene, finally reined in their horses and moved forward. In front of the imperial driver, they looked at the party member seriously and asked, "What's your name?"
"Ahua."
"Don't you have a last name?"
"My ancestor is the Xifeng clan..."
"What kind of job is the director of Feilongyuan?"
"The person in charge of raising military horses in the state."
"What's your origin?"
"He was born in the Dangxiang tribe in Hengshan under the rule of Longzhou."
"Have you read books or gone to school?"
"I've been studying for two or three years."
"How big is the tribe you belong to?"
"More than a hundred men and women..."
After Hu Yin asked, he turned around and cupped his hands to face each other: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask this person to be the temporary judge of Hongzhou. I would also like to ask your Majesty to listen to this person's advice and let Xiao Heda return to Liao lightly to put an end to his illegal thoughts.
It means loyalty."
Zhao Guanjia was still obedient and nodded directly, but Ah Hua was so surprised that instead of thanking him, he actually collapsed on the ground, feeling that his clothes were soaked through.
Zhao Jiu didn't care about it, but actually dismounted directly. He didn't mind the strong smell on the other person's body, but personally helped the person up from the ground, and said something like, if he hadn't stepped down, he would have almost made a big mistake.
It attracted people like Lu Benzhong and Zheng Zhichang to express their feelings and almost wrote poems to praise it.
After Zhao Guan's family had calmed down this local party model in accordance with the established procedures, they realized that their scheduled performance had already exceeded the planned performance due to this person's cooperation, so they relaxed and immediately turned around and headed towards Jintang City.
However, just as he was about to set off, when he saw the Imperial Guard dragging the embarrassed Xiao Heda over, and then untied him to chew, he suddenly felt a little evil in his heart, and then he immediately turned to face him:
"Does Xiao Qing resent me?"
Xiao Heda shook his head repeatedly and burst into tears for a while: "The foreign minister was just fooled by the mutton fat and made a big mistake first. At this time, I only want to express my gratitude to His Majesty for his generosity..."
"Having said that, I'm still a little ashamed." Zhao Jiu got on his horse and shook his head for a moment. "How do you think this is good, sir? I give you the surname Zhao as compensation. I hope that when you come to Dashi Lin Ya's side in the future, you will be able to
How about being like Yu Jian and contributing to the friendship between the two countries..."
The people around were stunned, shocked and suspicious.
Xiao Heda pursed his lips in response, but only for a moment, and then bowed down on the spot: "The foreign minister was frightened and ashamed, but he did not dare to refuse, so he bowed his head and paid homage to the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Jiu nodded, and then led the crowd to fight away... And Xiao... Wei Ming... Zhao Heda, naturally, together with the new Hongzhou general magistrate Ahua and others, were surrounded by the army and transferred to Jintang City.
Already.
In this way, on the 23rd, the Youzhou garrison, led by Weiming Yun Ge and Weiming Renli, abandoned the city and headed west.
The next day, Wu Jie made a large-scale invasion of Yanzhou. At the same time, new information from Yue Fei came from Huanzhou, informing Yelu that Dashi had gone north to set up a trap, and that Li Qianshun and his son might also be behind the scenes.
Zhao Jiu did not hesitate and sent Zhao Heda out, and asked the latter, under the protection of some imperial officials, to take a letter signed by Zhao Guan's family and go to Xingqing Mansion in Yanzhou, and then go north to Houtao.
This day is April 24th.
At this time, Wei Mingcha Ge's main force had successfully joined forces with the advance troops in Lingzhou; Huonv heard that Zhao Song official Long Shu had appeared from behind the Song army's front line, and suddenly launched an attack on the Song army; and this time
On the same day, the Khitan forwards had successfully arrived in Houtao and successfully joined forces with the partial division of their previous subordinates on the Yinshan side, that is, the Mongol tribes led by Yelu Yanshan.
On the same day, Wanyan, the Jurchen forward, arrived at Dongsheng Prefecture, the upper right turning point of the Yellow River, and entered the extreme edge of the Hetao.
This battle still has to be fought.
PS: Thanks to Mr. Man·Liuyun Weaving Clothes for being so cute. This is the 138th cuteness. Of course, I also want to thank Mr. Feng Xiao Gun King for being so cute. This is the 137th cuteness in this book and should also be this boss’s cuteness.
Three vests...the bosses really know how to play.
Then I would routinely offer sacrifices to a new book called "The Great Song Dynasty", a new book by Da Luoluo. I grew up reading Da Luoluo's books.
