Chapter 135 Talking about winning or losing
In the heart of the lake of the Royal Garden, on this exquisite painting, the Wangjing Pavilion on the second floor is transparent on all sides, and there are only two people on it: Liang Luoyao, the queen of Xixia, and next to the king who sat indifferently,
Liang Luoyao induced him in every way. Wang Bian still held the same attitude towards Li Liangzuo. No matter what you say, I won't climb the pole.
The tone and expression of the king made Liang Luoyao take a cold breath. It seemed that the king was not soft. Liang Luoyao put away the poor look and said bluntly, "Mr. Wang, you are just a four-grade servant in the State of Song now, but if you are willing to help me take charge of Xixia, I will deal with the old grievances between you and Liang Yi. Reason."
In Wang's heart, if it's just a comparison between Li Liangzuo and Liang Luoyao, Wang's side is more inclined to Li Liangzuo. He despises Liang Luoyao's little movements from the bottom of his heart. This woman with a snake and a scorpion, if she is entangled with her, she will die faster.
The king sneered: "It seems that the queen supports the emperor's personal expedition."
Liang Luoyao thought that Wang was enlightened and said with a smile, "Of course I support it. Don't Wang Shilang think this is a good 'opportunity'?" She deliberately said the word "opportunity" a little heavier, which can be understood as an opportunity to send troops. Of course, if the king is smart enough, she naturally understands that Li Liangzuo personally conquered the empty opportunity in Xingqing Mansion,
Wang Bian laughed. Who is Liang Luoyao next to my king? "The queen is really a smart person. If you take this opportunity to send Xixia to the State of Song, you can not only return to the State of Song to teach your children at ease, but also protect yourself."
Liang Luoyao pointed to Wang's side. Her face turned white with anger and her whole body trembled slightly. Was her chance to say that Xixia gave it to the State of Song? Did I mean that for a long time? This Wang's side was simply a lump of rotten wood that was soft and hard to eat. She held back for a long time and said, "You retreat."
Wang Xie Liang Luoyao, turned around and retreated to the first floor of the painting boat. He could enjoy the beautiful scenery as if standing on the bow of the painting boat. When the painting boat landed, he did not look back and strode away from the imperial garden, leaving only Liang Luoyao sitting on the second floor of the painting boat and looking at his back in a daze.
Wang Bian returned to the mansion and ordered Zhang Ping to pretend to be a Xixia people to find Wu Su. He also wrote a letter to ask Zhe Kejun to send it to Manba Mansion. After the resettlement, he waited for the two to come back. Wang Bian told Wu Su to pay attention to the instructions of the Secretary of Yiwei and go to Manchang at the critical moment. As long as he listened to his words to ensure that Wu Su would be calm in the future, Wu Su listened to Wang's orders. I'm grateful to Yin Liang again,
Zhe Kejun came back and asked Wang Zong with Zhang Ping what he would do next. Wang Zong said with a smile, "In the summer in Xixia."
Three days later, Li Liangzuo, the emperor of the Western Xia, personally led the team to the expedition. The news quickly spread to the State of Song. When Prince Zhao Shu heard this, he hurriedly called his confidants to discuss it. He decided to ask the court to take advantage of the emptiness of Xixia to attack Xixia.
Zhao Shu's memorial was played in the court. As a result, as soon as something arrived at the court of the Song Dynasty, it immediately became a quarrel between the literary ministers. The general took the lead in opposing it. He felt that the fact that the Xixia's dispatch of troops was unknown. The border was just peaceful, and the imperial court sent messengers to trade was anonymous.
Zhao Shu looked at Han Qi. At the beginning, Han Qi shouted that he wanted to fight Xixia. Now the opportunity has come. Isn't Han Qi on his side? As Han Qi's prime minister, he must be convincing.
After all, Han Qi has been the prime minister for many years. It is true that he has the selfishness to keep the position of prime minister. However, after all, he is the elder of the two dynasties. More often, he will still consider it from the perspective of the national interests of the Song Dynasty. Han Qi's words are not right for the prince's mind. He said: "Xixia attacked Jiaoluo, the two countries They are all ministers of the Song Dynasty. Instead of fighting Xixia, it is better to help Jiao Xiluo resist Xixia.
After the two quarreled, the prime minister Zeng Gongliang spoke. The old man patted a few sparse beards and said, "We won't help anyone. Xixia and Jiaoshangluo are checks and balanced each other. No matter who strengthens the border, it is not beneficial to our country. Moreover, if Xixia is hit, the State of Song will be sandwiched between Jiaosiluo and Liao, which may not be right. Our country is a good thing.
Renzong nodded this time. Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang said that he was thinking about himself. He appeased the ministers and said, "If there is a small dispute in the neighboring country, just watch it, not to mention that there are envoys in our country who are still in the summer, so you can't go back on your words." Renzong said and retreated from the court,
Prince Zhao Shu returned to the mansion with an inexplicable evil fire in his heart. He couldn't relieve the depression in his heart even if he kicked the chair and threw the cup. Next to the king and the side of the king, why did Renzong actually pay more attention to this side of the king than his own prince? Protecting Di Qing, burning the boat, beating the inner minister, and the side of the king who is soft and hard sooner or later, he will be in trouble. You boy, wait. When I make the decision one day, I will make you look good.
He was far away from the king in Xixia. He didn't know that the prince was getting more and more angry because of Renzong's protection. He arranged Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping to go to the street to inquire about some news every day. Wang was reading and writing in the mansion, or seeing the people of the Song Dynasty in Xixia. If he was bored, he would go to Fanhan College to recite poems and play chess every day.
Wang was leisurely in Xingqing Mansion. Half a month later, Li Liangzuo's troops arrived in Weizhou. The pioneer Manba suddenly stopped and ordered to build a huge castle next to Weizhou.
The news quickly spread back to Xingqing Mansion. On this day, Zhang Ping came back from the street and opened the door to see that Wang was shaking his fan and chatting with Zhe Kejun while playing chess. He had just returned from the outside. In midsummer in July, he was sweating all over. Zhang Ping wiped his sweat and drank a few mouthfuls of white water. He felt that the heat was slightly better. Then he squatted in front of the chessboard of the king and Zhe Kejun said with a smile, "Brother Zhe, what letter did you send to General Manba that day?"
Zhe Kejun looked at the chessboard and asked, "What, is there any news ahead?"
Zhang Ping pulled a low stool and sat down. He took a big fan and stirred it up. He put down his fan next to such a king. This flat arm is big and round, and a fan is full of wind,
Zhang Ping said as usual, with a smile, and his voice was loud and clear: "Haha, I heard that the Xixia Emperor's General Manma was out of the move, and the troops suddenly stopped. There was no war. The big castle was built first. It is said that it is still hundreds of miles away from the front. If you are anxious, the Xixia Emperor will be the vanguard."
Zhe Kejun picked up a particle and looked left and right. He put down the pieces and said, "Wang Shilang, this game of chess is lost."
The winner of the king was in his hand. He pointed to the rear of Zhe Kejun and said, "If you have played chess here, or you won't be defeated."
Zhang Ping was a little anxious: "Wang Shilang, Brother Zhe, did you all hear what I said?"
Zhe Kejun looked at Wang, who was enjoying his good game of chess. He looked at Zhang Ping again and patted Zhang Ping on the shoulder: "The waiter told me, did you hear me?"
Zhang Ping was confused by Zhe Kejun's words. He shook his head. Wang Bian and Zhe Kejun laughed together when they saw his embarism. Wang Bian saw that Manba really chose to retreat according to what he said and prepared for defense in advance. He was very proud.
Zhang Ping has already admired Wang. At this time, he seems to understand a little, as if what they said has something to do with what he asked. He quickly asked for advice: "Wang Shilang, tell me, what do you think about Xixia's attack on Jiao Xiluo? Is it Li Liangzuo bound to lose this time?"
Although Wang is unwilling to tell Liang Luoyao, it doesn't matter if he talks to Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping. He said with a smile, "Jiao Xiluo is brave and resourceful, supporting 700,000 soldiers. Li Liangzuo only brings 100,000 troops this time, and his strength is not comparable; Jiao Siluo's subordinates are all elite Tubo troops and those who have returned to Tufan after Xixia. They are against the West. Xia's tactics are well known, and Li Liangzuo is even weak at this point. In addition, there are horns occupying the right time, place and people, and Li Liangzuo is a long journey. This expedition is only thrilling and there is no surprise.
Zhang Ping said, and Zhe Kejun followed the king's words and asked, "I knew that Xixia and Jiao Xiluo had never won the war, haha"
Zhang Ping's eyes were shining: "Wang Shilang, Brother Zhe, don't just play chess, tell me about it."
While playing chess, Wang said, "When Li Yuanhao was in position, he was defeated by the horned several times, and one of them was the most funny."
Zhang Ping listened to the king's side and began to speak. He hurriedly moved his body to the side of the king and flashed the fan as if to please him. The king smiled and shouted, "That dimensional Hao led the army to conquer the river. The Xixia army was brave and good at fighting. As soon as they arrived at the river, the morale was strong. Therefore, Jiao Siluo ordered to stick to the Qingtang and not fight with the enemy, so as to drag down the west. Xia army. In addition, he sent people to explore the reality of the Xixia army. When he learned that the Xixia army crossed the Zongge River (Yanshui), it planted a flag to indicate that the water was shallow. Guess how Jiao Xiluo did it.
Zhang Ping didn't even think about it and said, "If it were me, hum, oh, I would pull out all the flags in the water."
Zhe Kejun listened to Zhang Ping's words and asked, "If the Xixia army didn't have a flag and simply fought to die, it would be difficult to fight."
Zhang Ping patted Zhe Kejun: "Brother Zhe, listen to what Wang Shilang said."
Wang looked at Zhang Ping's anxious appearance. He smiled and said, "At that time, Jiao Siluo secretly sent people to move the flag to the deepest part of the Zongge River. When the two armies fought, they personally led the elite Tubo army to the tired Xixia army. The Xixia army was immediately scattered and fled back in a hurry. As a result, they all followed the place where the flag was planted. Fang is a sign of crossing the river. The water in that place is deep and rapid, and the panicked Xixia army is on the battlefield, most of them are beside the water ghosts in the river.
Zhang Ping laughed and said, "It's so happy." Zhe Kejun hurriedly motioned, "Be quiet, we are in Xixia."
Zhang Ping hurriedly shut up and stood up and walked to the door to have a look. In private, no one turned around and whispered back, "Your son is expected. Let's wait for the good news of the defeat of Xixia soldiers." After saying that, he smiled,
Wang said, "There will probably be news from the front line in two or three days. You two listen more, and the time for Wu Su's meritorious service is coming soon."
Wang has seen that the weakness of this trip to Xixia is that there are no one in the court. The news of the upper class is too slow. Li Liangzuo is young and impulsive, and the front line can't take advantage of it. Now the rear is also very weak, and Liang Luoyao has shown that she is ready to move on the painting. If she dares to act rashly, Wu Su should show her head in front of Li Liangzuo. Jiao, became the first person to be placed in the Xixia Dynasty next to the king,
