In the tenth month of the golden autumn, Xia Bolong, who had just secured the entire territory of Xixia, did not feel happy at all, because the Song Army and the Jin Army were fighting in Hebei, and judging from the news obtained in the past ten days, the Song Army was simply unstoppable.
"Your Majesty!" Yelu Dashi, Prime Minister of the Dragon Empire, stood in the main hall and said respectfully.
"You came just in time, I have something important to ask you!" Xia Bolong stood up from the dragon chair, walked to Yelu Dashi, held Yelu Dashi's hand, and said sincerely, "The Song Army successively attacked Hebei We won the battle and have half of Hebei in our pocket. I called you here just to hear your opinion on this matter!"
Yelu Dashi said: "The lands in Hebei were originally the homeland of the Song Dynasty. As soon as the Song army arrived, the people of Hebei responded one after another, so the Song army was extremely powerful. In addition, in the previous fierce battle in the northwest, the Jin army lost more than 300,000 elite soldiers and vitality. Seriously injured. I think this is a good opportunity for Your Majesty to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin."
"Well, I think so too. But, how to fight?" Xia Bolong asked.
Yelu Dashi said: "Your Majesty, General Han Shizhong, Cavalry General Li Liangfu, and Chariot General Zhang Jun can all be entrusted with important responsibilities. Now that the realization of the Jin Kingdom has all been attracted by the Song Army to the battlefield in Hebei, the country must be empty. The Jin army thought that Your Majesty and Xixia had few troops and could not attack, but they did not know that our Dragon Empire's army of hundreds of thousands had already arrived in Xixia. If Your Majesty launches an attack at this time and divides the troops into three groups, they will surely be able to regain the lost territory of Liao Kingdom. Let the Song army regain the lost land in Hebei, and our army will only take all the land outside the pass, and can go straight to Ningfu, the capital of the Jin Kingdom."
Xia Bolong said: "That's good, but there is no verbal agreement between our army and the Song army, and the alliance was only formed under the offensive of the Jin State. Now that the Jin State has retreated, the Song Dynasty is in full swing to regain the lost territory. What if It would be bad for our army to attack the Kingdom of Jin and be attacked by the Song Dynasty. Although the Song Emperor is an old acquaintance of mine, for the benefit of the country, there is no guarantee that he will not break his face! Prime Minister, I want to go to the Song Dynasty. I will personally make an alliance with Emperor Song, let him take the inside of the pass, and we will take the outside. As for the future matters, we can discuss it before it is too late!"
Yelu Dashi nodded and said: "Your Majesty is extremely worried. The general has mobilized his troops to the Yinzhou area. He can follow your Majesty's orders at any time and launch an attack on the Kingdom of Jin. If your Majesty wants to go to the Song Dynasty, this time I'm afraid there will be a delay if we come back and delay the opportunity to fight, which will be very bad. I think that your majesty can order an attack on the Jin Kingdom first, and then go to the Song Dynasty for negotiation. I have ministers stabilizing the situation in Xixia, and three generals are leading the charge outside. The soldiers are fighting, and your Majesty can go to the Song Dynasty with peace of mind."
Xia Bolong said: "Well, I feel very relieved about the Prime Minister. By the way, is the western part of the empire ever well?"
Yelu Dashi said: "Everything is fine. All the surrendered countries do not know about the war in the east. I have asked people to block the western border. All caravans can only reach Samarkand and are not allowed to move forward, so they are not allowed to move forward." Know what¡¯s going on in the country.¡±
"Haha, well done, very good. This time I leave Xixia and go to the Song Dynasty. I only need to take Liu Chengzong with me. Xixia has just surrendered and everything is not stable enough. The prime minister has to work hard."
Three days later, after Xia Bolong finished explaining everything, he left Xingqing Mansion with his bodyguard Liu Chengzong. Dressed in plain clothes, the two of them rode to Bianliang of the Song Dynasty.
Today, Bianliang has returned to the embrace of the Song Dynasty. Not only Bianliang, but also the entire Hebei is about to come back. The Yue Family Army and several other teams from the Song Dynasty are fighting hard in Hebei to prepare for the restoration of the Song Dynasty. Make an effort. Emperor Zhao Gou returned to the Central Plains after the fierce battle in the Northwest and moved the capital back to Bianliang City.
Xia Bolong and Liu Chengzong quickly crossed the border and entered the Song Dynasty. Returning to the Song Dynasty, Xia Bolong felt quite comfortable in his heart. He was a Han, and returning to the embrace of the Han people would naturally be much better than staying in a foreign country. However, when he came back this time, things had changed.
Ten days later, Xia Bolong and Liu Chengzong arrived in Bianliang and returned to a place he was familiar with. Today's Bianliang has long lost its former prosperity. After a robbery by the Jin soldiers, Bianliang City has been left in dilapidated condition. Although it was restored to its original appearance under Zhao Gou's later repairs, that kind of prosperity still remains But he never came back. For the people of the Song Dynasty, they managed to escape from the north to the south, and the war in the north has not been completely settled, so they will not go back under any circumstances.
Zhao Gou also knew this, so in order to restore the prosperity of Bianliang, Zhao Gou personally led all the civil and military officials to move here, and mobilized some wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River, which made Bianliang a little more popular. Even so, Bianliang has always been in the center of the storm. Military orders are transmitted from here every day, so soldiers on horseback can often be seen coming and going. Sometimes they can enter and exit the city hundreds of times in a day. .
"Owner, the Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. The Bianliang area used to be the most prosperous place, but now it has become like this. All of this is the disaster of the golden dog. "Liu Chengzong no longer called His Majesty Xia Bolong, but called him Master, because there were only two of them here and they were in the Song Dynasty, so they had to do this.
"This is not correct. In essence, it is still in the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty did not have such shortcomings, how could it give so many opportunities to the Hulu? This is a historical necessity and an accident. Even if there is no Jin Kingdom, there will be other countries Replace it." Xia Bolong shook his head and disagreed with Liu Chengzong's words.
"My master's words are true to his word. I am just a martial artist and I dare not compare with my master." Liu Chengzong said.
Xia Bolong smiled and did not answer. He knew that Liu Chengzong had always been very humble. Although his age was not forgiving, Liu Chengzong had already entered the ranks of forty years old, but he was still single and his appearance was still so handsome. Xia Bolong is also old, already thirty-one years old, and the father of several children. However, he has been fighting all his life and has little time to accompany his children, leaving his wife and children in Gaochang City.
Entering Bianliang City, Xia Bolong took Liu Chengzong straight to the palace. Arriving at the outskirts of the palace, Xia Bolong found that the palace was no longer the same as what he had seen seven years ago. Except for some repaired palace walls, the rest of the palace was dilapidated and the ground was still covered with grass.
There were guards from the Song Dynasty standing outside the palace. When they saw Xia Bolong and Liu Chengzong coming on horseback, they pointed at them and shouted: "Hey! What are you doing? Don't you know that riding horses is not allowed here? Come down quickly!"
Liu Chengzong's face was slightly angry. He would never allow anyone to speak to his master like this. Just as he was about to take action, he was pulled back by Xia Bolong. When Xia Bolong shook his head, he stopped moving.
Xia Bolong turned over and dismounted, raised his hands to the guard, and said: "My lord, I don't know the rules here, and I have offended my authority. Please forgive me!"
As he spoke, Xia Bolong took out a piece of silver and handed it to the guard, and gave him a smile.
The guard noticed that Xia Bolong was so generous, and saw that he was only wearing ordinary clothes. He immediately became suspicious, took out the sword from his waist, and shouted loudly: "You must be a spy, do you think I am?" What's wrong? How can you bribe our Great Song Dynasty Tianwu Army? Come quickly and capture these two spies!"
As soon as the guard's words fell, several other guards were attracted, and they drew their swords one after another. As soon as they took two steps forward, they saw a figure flashing in front of them. Several guards were unable to move and stood upright. Standing there, still maintaining the original posture of the body, all kinds of things are really beautiful.
Liu Chengzong flashed to Xia Bolong's side and said, "Master, don't be afraid. With the little one here, these people will not hurt the master."
Xia Bolong smiled and said: "I'm not afraid, I'm curious. The guards of the Song Dynasty don't care about money anymore, and the clothes of these soldiers are also different from the previous Forbidden Army. They claim to be the Tianwu Army. Could it be that the Song Army has reformed? But why haven¡¯t I heard Zhao Gou and Yue Fei mention it?¡±
The guards' acupuncture points were sealed and their whole bodies were stiff. They couldn't even speak. However, when they heard Xia Bolong calling the emperor and the generalissimo by their names, they all felt something was wrong. This was wrong, but they couldn't tell what it was. What.
"The palace is so lightly guarded. Isn't it possible that Emperor Song was afraid that the Jin soldiers would send assassins?" Liu Chengzong said calmly.
Xia Bolong smiled and said: "Unlock the acupuncture points of one of them and let him go in to report and tell their emperor. Otherwise, if we go in rashly, we will definitely encounter more trouble."
Liu Chengzong nodded, reached out and poked forward, and unlocked a soldier's acupuncture point. When the soldier's acupoint was unlocked, he raised his knife and slashed, and shouted: "Come quickly, there is a thorn"
As soon as he shouted, the knife did not fall, and the acupoints all over his body were sealed again by Liu Chengzong.
The shouts attracted people inside the palace wall. A dozen people rushed out under the leadership of a general. When they saw that their own people were restrained, they swarmed forward. Liu Chengzong's figure was seen shaking, like a ghost passing through the dozen or so people. He pointed his fingers one after another and stopped all the people.
"Hey! Impulse is the devil, these impulsive soldiers." Xia Bolong walked to one of the generals and said, "I will let him open your acupuncture points in a while. You go in and inform your emperor that Xia Bolong is here." .¡±
Liu Chengzong untied the general's mute point. The general looked confused and asked, "Who are you? Who is Xia Bolong?"
Xia Bolong smiled and took out a square seal from his arms, raised it to his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, put a stamp on the general's face, and said to the general: " Go ahead, your emperor will naturally come to welcome me when he sees this mark on your face."
