Chapter 295 Secretly Paving

Chu Tianya, the king of Luoyang, is about to marry Xiao Linglong, the princess of the flying fox, and set up the princess of the county. The prince's palace officially issued a notice and told the whole house.

This is a big deal. With the status and influence of Chu Tianya today, he wants to set up the imperial concubine, no less than the emperor. Since the official Zhao Huan is in Luoyang, he can't turn a deaf ear to it. Therefore, he issued an imperial edict to the world and ordered all prefectures and states to send people to celebrate. All ministers above the court should not be absent. And he also invited the ministers of foreign countries to the banquet and have fun together.

Moreover, the wedding of Luoyang Wang Concubine is arranged by the imperial court. The wedding date is set for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, two months later.

Originally, Chu Tianya did not want to behave like this in a high-profile and wasteful manner, but considering the current situation, especially the "eye-shadeed method", it was not a bad thing to divert the attention of the Jurchens like this, so he agreed.

As a result, the names of Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong soon became the most talked about words under the Song Dynasty. There are many people who say a lot about Xiao Linglong's bloodline and origin, but after all, no one dares to jump out and say "no" to the marriage of the king of Luoyang. Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong themselves did not pay attention to this kind of thing at all.

The two are finally getting married, and the happiest ones are He Bo and Meng De. The two of them, one is like Chu Tianya's father, and the other is a brother who is far more kin to his own brother. No matter what kind of identity Chu Tianya is, he used to be a little Taibao who lived in Taiyuan, and now he is a generation of heroes who hold the power of the world. In their eyes, Chu Tianya is just their children and younger brother, and needs to be taken care of. Chu Tianya's marriage is the most happy event for them!

As a result, Meng De became the "general leader" of Chu Tianya's wedding. He got up early and was busy all day without knowing a trace of fatigue, which was far happier than his marriage. He Bo calmly publicized Chu Tianya's marriage everywhere, and naturally accepted other people's congratulations. He never got tired of his old face. It was really like his only son was going to get married and continue his family's fragrance.

Throughout Luoyang, countless people began to work for Chu Tianya's wedding. On the contrary, the two parties, Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong, became idle people. After returning to Luoyang, Chu Tianya spent most of his time with Xiao Linglong, who was pregnant, quietly enjoying the sweetness of love and longing for the beauty of being a father.

This is very anxious about the virgin messenger who has been waiting to be met. They went to the Luoyang Palace every day to ask for Chu Tianya. Without exception, they were all closed, and sometimes they would attract a ridicul by the sergeant of the palace - the prince came back from the war and was exhausted. The wedding was about to be extremely busy. When he returned to the palace, he could finally accompany the princess. How could he contact you about the state affairs at this time? If you want to talk about state affairs, go to Luoyang Palace to post!

The envoys of the State of Jin are both angry and helpless. It's useless to go to Luoyang Palace to cast a post. Isn't the post going to turn to the hand of the King of Luoyang to make a determination?

Finally, they came to a conclusion: Luoyang King Chu Tianya, this is deliberately procrastinating time.

Following Chu Tianya to Wanyan Zongwang in Luoyang, he seemed to see this point. He came to Chu Tianya more than once to urge and report his grievances. Chu Tianya always said perfunctorily, "We'll talk about it tomorrow", but the result is always over.

Wanyan Zongwang is helpless. After all, they ask people to do things, but they are anxious but others ignore it. No matter how anxious they are, it is useless.

Chu Tianya is indeed procrastinating. He thought very clearly that if he delayed here for one more day, Wanyan Zonghan on the north bank of the Yellow River would have less military food, more trembling, and more turbulence. In addition, Jiao Wentong and Yue Fei in Tokyo have one more day of preparation and running-in time, and the chances of winning will also increase.

Recently, the royal palace is naturally very lively. There are many people coming in and out, but few people pay attention to the fact that one or two Xixia people often mix in the middle of silk merchants or footmen's car handlebars and sneak into the royal palace.

They came to meet Chu Tianya in secret. The purpose is to discuss the joint military dispatch plan in the near future.

Xixia people have always coveted the Hedong territory of the Song Dynasty. After Chu Tianya moved the base from Taiyuan to Luoyang, it was occupied by the State of Jin. The Western Xia Kingdom took it for granted that the competition for Hedong was the territory of the preemptive Jin Kingdom, which was not regarded as the enemy of the Song Dynasty. So they were "very righteous" and took the initiative to find Chu Tianya and promised to help him send troops to deal with Wanyan Zonghan, who was now in Hedong. The condition put forward is that when the territory of the Jin Kingdom is divided in the future, some prefectures and counties in Hedong can be ceded to the Allied Xixia State.

Chu Tianya despises and hates the State of Xixia from the bottom of his heart, and it is impossible to assign any inch of land in Hedong to the State of Xixia. But at present, the greed of Xixia is the place to use. Chu Tianya temporarily held down this thought and said very generously and rationally that since it is an alliance, it should occupy all the interests. If Wanyan Zonghan can be defeated, half of the territory of Hedong should belong to the Western Xia Kingdom.

Chu Tianya even signed a secret clause with the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom on behalf of the Song Dynasty, agreeing on the principle of the division of interests after victory.

I don't even know about this matter. The only insiders are Chu Tianya and the lord of Xixia and his confidant envoys.

Although Xixia is small, they have been wandering and hesitating between the Song Dynasty and Liao over the years. After Zhazhen became stubborn, they turned to Zhazhen again. They have always played such a "soy sauce" role, but no big country can ignore their energy, so they all want to try their best to attract them. The consequence of this is that the three major powers of Song, Liaojin fought through the blood, while Xixia, a seemingly weak marginal small country, took advantage of the blood of the Three Kingdoms! When he fought, he took advantage of it and flattered him everywhere.

In a word, they will never do anything that is not good. Including the current Lian Song Gongjin, the Western Xia people's Ruyi abacus is almost put directly on the table - it's about Hedong!

Xixia people think that they have been killed by the "life gate" of the Song Dynasty. They have been penetrated into the imperial capital by the hinterland twice in a row. The war and compensation for several consecutive years have already emptied the wealth of the Song Dynasty. Although the Song Dynasty won the battle of Wutongyuan, he also exhausted his strength. Obviously, it is impossible to swallow the whole Golden State on its own.

Previously, the power contrast between the State of Jin and the Song Dynasty was very different. No one would have thought that Wanyan Zongwang was destroyed in the Battle of Wutongyuan. After the war, the situation reversed, and the State of Jin, which was originally overwhelmingly superior, suddenly fell into the wind. But the thin camel is bigger than the horse. Even if there is only half of the troops left in the State of Jin, it is not easy for the Song Dynasty to deal with.

That is to say, after the First World War of Wutongyuan, the strength of Song and Jin has basically reached a "balance" state. Generally speaking, under such circumstances, the two countries will not continue to fight, but will make peace with a tacit truce and go to rest and recuperate. If you are heartless and fight to the death, it will be a profit for the fishing man.

At this time, the people who most hope that the two countries of Song and Jin will continue to fight are, of course, the Xixia people who sit aside and watch the tiger fight. And their participation in the war will definitely break the current balance between the two countries. In other words, if Chu Tianya does not attract Xixia, Jin will definitely do the same. It depends on who gives a bigger ** between the two countries.

Xixia people also thought about it again and again before they decided to fight against the heroine together in the Song Dynasty. The reason is very simple. The State of Jin is too strong. If Xixia helps the State of Jin destroy the Song Dynasty, it will definitely be Xixia's turn next. Only the officials of the Song Dynasty and the court can't pay attention to it. Otherwise, they would not have united with the State of Jin to destroy the State of Liao at the beginning. Today's Xixia Lord is Li Qianshun (historically known as Xixia Chongzong), who is quite virtuous in history. He can survive in the cracks with the weakness of Xixia and repeatedly seek benefits in the battle of great powers, which is enough to prove his shrewdness and sophistication. Li Qianshun definitely can't do this kind of stupid thing of helping foreign pirates beat their neighbors.

In fact, there is another more important reason. Xixia has been playing with the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and no one can do anything about it. Xixia people have never been afraid of the Song Dynasty, but they are really afraid of the tough Jurchens. Therefore, if you have to choose a neighbor between the Song Dynasty and the heroine, they must choose the Song Dynasty. Even if this neighbor will eventually turn against him, it is better than being killed into the house by a group of vicious bloodthirsty robbers.

Li Qianshun and Chu Tianya are pregnant with ghosts, and they all have their own interests in their hearts. They form the Songxia Alliance at once. The two sides made a secret agreement, waiting for the letter from Chu Tianya to be sent out. The tens of thousands of elite cavalry of iron halbers on the side of Xixia will shoot the army of their suzerain country mercilessly like a dark arrow, and mercilessly stab the cold knife of Yan Zonghan!

......

While secretly doing business with the people of Xixia, Chu Tianya sent someone to secretly summon Liu Ziyu, the commander of Jiyuan, to the royal palace to meet.

Tokyo has Jiao Wentong and Yue Fei as a surprise attack, and the western line has the response and blockade of the Xixia people. Luoyang is the real main battlefield.

In this battle, Chu Tianya will definitely not be able to command in person, because he will always serve as the commander-in-chief of the whole battle. More importantly, he needs to be the protagonist of this "trick", perform well, and deceive the Jurchens to the end!

Liu Ziyu, a young talent who has just been promoted, has high expectations from Chu Tianya. An extremely heavy burden was pressed on his shoulder - at the beginning of the war, Liu Ziyu would lead the Jin army stationed in Jiyuan to serve as the main frontal attacker and launch an attack on Wanyan Zongwang!

Xixia is a cold arrow, Yue Fei is a raid, but Liu Ziyu wants to fight a hard battle face to face. His soldiers and horses are not elite, and most of them are mainly Qingyunzhan infantry. Such a sergeant is just suitable for the raid to grab the beach and cross the river.

Not long after Liu Ziyu was promoted, he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility. He was so excited that he almost trembled.

"Ziyu, do you know why I let you fight such an important battle?" Chu Tianya deliberately wanted to make the words clear, so that he would have less worries in his heart and cheer him up.

"My subordinates... I'm not good at learning. When I first came here, I didn't dare to bear this great task." Liu Ziyu hugged his fist heavily and said, "But since the master can respect and trust his subordinates, he should also find a good fight!"

Chu Tianya raised his hand and said, "What I want to see now is not your confidence and guarantee, but to let you really understand why I chose you to be the head-on home battle, Marshal."

"My subordinate Yulu, please make it clear!" Liu Ziyu held boxing.

Chu Tianya looked at him with a smile, "Because you are young, you are very aggressive and dare to act. Wanyan Zonghan, the opponent of this battle, is several times more than you in strength. His experience, ability and the combat ability of the army are also beyond your reach. Generally speaking, veterans who have been on the battlefield face such a situation, and their hearts first lose for a while. Because he is so experienced that he knows that this battle is more or less auspicious. On the contrary, the smart and talented young commander is more likely to take risks unexpectedly and skillfully defeat extremely powerful enemies with his wisdom.

Liu Ziyu took a deep breath, "Just like the Lord was in Taiyuan at the beginning and unexpectedly defeated the invincible Wanyan Zonghan with weakness and strength - my subordinates will remember the Lord's teachings!"

"There is another reason why I use you as a teacher, because you are new here." Chu Tianya said, "Now although I can nominally mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the world of the Song Dynasty, in fact, I will directly obey my orders. For the time being, there is still only one person I pulled out after I walked out of Taiyuan. Among our group of people, the core is the old team of Qixingzhai and Qingyunbao. We have been together for too long. We know each other well and look at each other's face. Even if I, the lord, see a little man who has been following me for a long time, I will take into account the old feelings when dealing with things. With so many scruples, it is subjectively easy to be afraid of hands and feet, and you can't let go as you did in Taiyuan. You are different - you are new here and don't have a deep relationship with anyone. You can be truly selfless and ruthless. As long as I give you power, you can let go of your hands and feet to do it; if someone dissist orders, the military law will do it. Only when you are forbidden to say the best can you fight well in this battle.

Listen carefully. I want you to be arbitrary and don't listen to anyone's orders and suggestions. If you think of anything, you can do it without any scruples - if someone dares to stop or disobey you, no matter who he is, he will do it in military law!

What a smart person Liu Ziyu is, Chu Tianya has said this. Of course, he understands what Chu Tianya's intention is - in the original core team of the Jin army, it is not that there are no talents, but that everyone has been together for too long. They have ties and scruples with each other, and it is easy to be emotional in front of big events, so as to miss the opportunity to miss the opportunity. Bureau.

Chu Tianya wants Liu Ziyu to be an iron-blooded handsome man who is not recognized by his relatives. Everything is just to fight a good war. Don't ask about other worldly wisdom!

"Huh--"

With a sound, Liu Ziyu bit off the little finger of his left hand in front of Chu Tianya!

Chu Tianya's eyes widened, "What are you stupid about?"

"I swear by breaking my finger, and please make a military order!" Liu Ziyu knelt down, put his bloody hand to the top of his head, pointed to the sky and swore, "You must do your best to win this battle! - If there is any mistake, please kill my family!

Chu Tianya took a deep breath and said, "It's common to win or lose. I can't ask you to win. I just need you to be selfless and do your best."

"No, I'm only allowed to win, not invincible!" Liu Ziyu shouted, "Lord, please set up a military order!" I am willing to hand over the whole family to the master. If you can't win - I'm willing to kill the whole family!"

"You're crazy!" Chu Tianya shouted in a low voice, "You are my beloved general and my brother. Even if you are really defeated, how can I hurt you?"

"Lord, please!" Liu Ziyu kowtowed, "I also need the courage and determination to break the boat - please set up a military order!"

"..." Chu Tianya took a deep breath and looked at Liu Ziyu, who kept kowtopping suddenly on the ground, and was speechless.

"Please be successful!!!"

"Bung Bang-Bung-"

Liu Ziyu's head was broken and his blood flowed.

"I - promise you!"

......

After nightfall, Liu Ziyu was sent out of Luoyang Palace by Chu Tianya's personal guard and sent back to Jiyuan Camp.

Chu Tianya put a bloody military writ written by Liu Ziyu into a brocade box and kept it permanently.

Chu Tianya can't do this kind of thing to kill the defeated general and destroy his family. This blood book is a witness to the iron blood and loyalty of a young commander, which is very precious.

Three days later, a big news came from Jiyuan that Wang Xun, the vanguard general of the Ma army, was caught by the military inspector after drinking after the curfew in the army. According to the general's law, Liu Ziyu beat him with fifty military sticks in public, took his vanguard seal, and punished him to sweep the toilet!

This incident caused a great shock in the army and throughout Luoyang.

Who is Wang Xun? That was one of the first old brothers and the first twelve leaders to follow Chu Tianya. Leaving these aside, Wang Xun is still the son left by Wang Bing, Chu Tianya's mentor. In the first battle of Taiyuan, the father and son of the Wang family were born and died together with Chu Tianya. This kind of affection is incomparable to the big leaders of Qixingzhai.

However, Liu Ziyu, who was new to the road, caught a small thing and made a fuss. He really beat Wang Xun, and he beat him very hard!

Wang Xun himself did not say anything, because he knew Chu Tianya's temper. Chu Tianya's rule of the army has always been ruthless and strict. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. This kind of thing is natural. On the contrary, some of Wang Xun's partial generals and military academy are really incomprehensant - is there any reason for the founding minister to be so humiliated by your stinky child?

As a result, the snowflakes-like complaint letter flew into the Luoyang Palace, accusing Liu Ziyu of bullying people and taking revenge in public, and accusing him of pulling the flag on the mountain of the Lila of Jiyuan Camp, suppressing the original man and horse of the Jin army, and being dedicated to supporting his party. Sima Zhao's heart is well known to all.

Chu Tianya will send these letters without expressing them. A few days later, his general Bai Wei called and asked him to make a final determination.

Bai Shu knows Chu Tianya too well. He knew that the reason why his good lord asked him to deal with the matter was that he didn't want to do it himself, which would hurt Wang Xun's face too much. So Bai Xu was very smart. He called these people who reported them one by one, scolded them one by one, and others ate his board, and then drove them back to Jiyuan one by one, and continued to obey the orders under the command of Liu Ziyu.

To show the monkey, Liu Ziyu borrowed Wang Xun's buttocks and instantly set up an unparalleled prestige in Jiyuan.
