Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Your Majesty's grace, I will never forget it."

"I'm planning to go back to Bianjing now, but there is one more thing, if I can't do it, I can't leave, and I can't sleep."

PS: Big guys, the national conditions are on holiday, two chapters today, go out for a walk with your family at night, happy holidays everyone.

Chapter 1111 The Messenger of Gaochang Uyghur (Part [-])

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Li Liangfu more or less guessed it in his heart.

Zhao Guanjia spoke very directly, and even told him that the ministers wanted to trick Li Liangfu over and chop him up.

What is this called?

This is called "heart and lung".

The implication is that I have devoted my heart and soul to you, and I will tell you directly such shameful things as "the minister suggested that I lie to you and chop you up".

You see, I am not sincere.

After saying this, Li Liangfu's guard was more or less relaxed.

Zhao Ning said: "I ask you, why did you kill Brother Li Cha, and I want to reward you?"

Li Liangfu said: "Brother Li Cha is the Jin King of the Xia Kingdom, and has a high prestige. If he is let go, he will definitely form a force that cannot be underestimated in the north."

Zhao Ning looked at Li Liangfu and said calmly, "You are right, but Brother Li Cha is dead, but Li Liangfu is still here."

"The minister is 1 loyal to His Majesty." Li Liangfu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, feeling terrified.

Could it be that Zhao Guanjia really tricked himself into Xingzhou to kill him?

Thinking of this, Li Liangfu suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"Don't be nervous, Marquis Dingbian. I didn't say I would kill you." Zhao Ning's tone was still calm, as if he was chatting with an old friend, and he even smiled, "If I want to kill you, I will go with you." Why so much nonsense?"

Li Liangfu's hanging heart fell temporarily, and he declared again: "Your Majesty's loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon."

"And what about your generals?"

"them……"

"Your generals made me sleepless. I worked so hard from Bianjing to Xingzhou. Why?"

"The minister will definitely discipline them well."

"What if one day, when I'm not in the northwest, your generals suddenly tell you to imitate Li Yuanhao?"

"Whoever dares to say such rebellious words, I will cut him off!"

"What if I put a yellow robe on you while you're asleep?"

Li Liangfu was speechless for a moment.

He didn't dare to reprimand him for treason, because the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty was such a high-ranking emperor, how dare he speak nonsense in front of Zhao's official family?

Li Liangfu couldn't help being surprised, Zhao Guan's family is good at fighting, and they are also good at blocking people when they speak!

"Have you ever been to Tokyo?" Zhao Ning asked again.

"No... no."

"Do you want to go to Tokyo?"

"My...if my minister goes to Tokyo, who will guard the northwest for your Majesty?" Li Liangfu immediately said, "The Gaochang Uighurs are cunning and have repeatedly developed disputes with the Xia Kingdom. Now that they have learned that the Xia Kingdom has suffered setbacks, they must have begun to mobilize their troops and the barbarians have taken over. The heart of the Central Plains has never been destroyed."

"Guarding the northwest, don't bother Dingbian Hou, there is Liu Kai, and there is Li Yanxian."

Zhao Ning just said, these two people have defeated you before, so don't make a fool of yourself.

"You and your generals can go to Tokyo to enjoy the glory and wealth, why not do it?"

"minister……"

Zhao Ning's voice suddenly became cold: "Tokyo's prosperity can't satisfy Dingbian Hou's desire?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you die alone, it's just that the Northwest is troubled now, and it's not suitable for you to stay in the Northwest."

Li Liangfu vaguely heard other meanings from Zhao Guanjia's words, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Zhao Ning continued: "You send a confidant of yours to go back with the person appointed by me. I will not treat them badly for those direct descendants who have made meritorious service with you. They will all go to Tokyo to enjoy the wealth and honor. The soldiers below will pay half a year's salary. You don’t have to worry about the specific affairs of Song Dynasty’s salary distribution, I will arrange someone to handle it.”

"Your Majesty, if I don't go back and handle these matters personally, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied, in case things change..."

"Are you worried that our 20 troops will not be able to defeat your tens of thousands of horses? Or do you think that the iron hooves of Anbei Mansion cannot immediately march westward to the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division to seize the northern fortress?"

"This……"

"I have already given a solution that benefits everyone. If someone insists on getting there, I don't mind using human heads to pile up a mountain!"

"I will obey His Majesty's arrangement in everything!"

After leaving the hall, Li Liangfu realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Zhao Ning would definitely not let Li Liangfu go back again. If Li Liangfu took all the soldiers and horses away after he went back, Song Jun would need a lot of time and energy to go north again.

However, during this expedition to Xia, the soldiers were exhausted and could no longer travel long distances and needed to rest.

It is the best thing to be able to hand over peacefully. If not, use the most elite troops to defeat the remaining Xixia troops in the shortest time.

They must not be allowed to escape to Mobei.

Let Liu Kai handle the next matter.

Liu Kai asked Liu Rui to bring a cavalry force of [-], accompanied by a group of military, political and civilian officials. They were responsible for reorganizing the troops of the Xixia soldiers and making statistics on their salaries.

In order to ensure that they can be withdrawn in case of accidents, they are basically equipped with war horses.

This kind of handover full of wariness is inevitable for any surrender.

If it is handled well, everyone will be happy, but if it is not handled well, it will only be a mess.

According to the scale of [-] cavalry, it is definitely impossible to defeat the opponent, but it can entangle, report messages, stick to the opponent, grasp the opponent's whereabouts, provide the follow-up army with the enemy's route and location, and achieve fast and efficient strikes.

Of course, the salaries paid to these soldiers who surrendered can be collected from the Xingzhou nobles.

On the second day, Liu Rui took action and took Li Liangfu's confidant Li Jing all the way to the Chaoshun Army Division in the right wing.

A military handover involving tens of thousands of people has begun.

In the past few days, the number of scouts sent out by Xingzhou has skyrocketed, sending the latest information back and forth in a steady stream, and secretly watching the Chaoshun Army Commander in the right wing all the time.

On the fifth day of December, Zhao Ning and everyone discussed the next resettlement situation in the northwest.

Sun Fu said: "Your Majesty, the land of Xingzhou is rich and far away from the Central Plains. There are Hengshan Mountains in the south and deserts in the east. It is very easy to form a separate regime. It must be guarded by the soldiers of the Central Plains."

Fan Zhixu said: "A soldier from the Central Plains, who wants to live here?"

Sun Fu said: "Over there, the family came with their mouths, and the imperial court rewarded them with a lot of money."

"You think the treasury's money is inexhaustible?"

"Then what does Fan Shuai think?"

"Immigrating to Xingzhou from Shaanxi and the Central Plains is the best." Zhang Jun took over the words, "It is impossible for the nobles of the party to stay in Xingzhou. The imperial court must send a large number of officials from the Central Plains, preferably from Gyeonggi. To stabilize the situation, Tuo Bian needs generals, but now he needs civil servants."

Zhao Ning nodded, in fact, how to deal with it is not difficult.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside who claims to be the emissary of the Uighurs in Gaochang. I want to see you."

Chapter 1112 Homeland of the Western Regions (Second Change)

"Gaochang Uighurs?" Fan Zhixu asked suspiciously, "Gaochang Uighurs are far away in the Western Regions outside Yumen Pass, why did they come here?"

"The Uyghurs have not had any contact with our dynasty for decades. It coincides with our dynasty's use of troops against Xixia. They are here, and I am afraid they have ulterior motives."

Stereotype said.

Da Song still knew about the Uyghurs.

Since Song Taizu established the Great Song Dynasty, the Uighurs have paid tribute to the Great Song Dynasty and also paid tribute to the Daliao Dynasty.

This tribute was intermittent, but it continued until the reign of Song Shenzong.

The so-called tribute is economic and trade.

Zhao Ning said: "Xuanwei's name is Anhui and Li Liangfu."

Not long after, Wei Ming Anhui and Li Liangfu arrived.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning asked: "Uighurs, do you two understand?"

Wei Ming Anhui said: "Your Majesty, the Uighurs have been doing business with the Xia Kingdom before, and in the past decades, they have sent troops to raid the Hexi area of ​​the Xia Kingdom many times. The Xia Lords of all dynasties have deployed defenses in Hexi."

Li Liangfu also said: "The Uighurs covet the land of Hexi, and always want to take it for themselves."

Everyone looked at each other, Zhao Ning said: "The Uighurs came to Xingzhou, do you two know?"

"I just heard someone talking about it." Wei Ming An Hui said.

"What do you think they're doing here?"

"It must be to find out the truth." Li Liangfu replied quickly.

"Oh?"

Li Liangfu said: "The news of His Majesty's use of troops against Xia must have spread through Yumen Pass, and the Uighurs want to check the situation in the name of business."

"Then what do they want to do next?" Zhao Ning asked.

"It must be the place where Hexi is plotted."

This makes sense, I am afraid that the Uighurs did not know that the Song Dynasty's vigorous crusade against Xixia was based on the current situation in Hexi.

Zhe Yanzhi was fighting in Hexi. After the Uyghurs knew about it, they came to Xingzhou to find out the truth.

If both the Song Dynasty and Xixia were to lose, the Uighurs would probably take the opportunity to send troops east to Yumen Pass and seize the land of Hexi.

Zhao Ning said, "Send it to the Uighur envoy."

Not long after, the Uighur envoy entered the hall.

The Uighur envoy saw the people in the hall, looked at Zhao Ning above, saluted and said: "Respected Lord Xia, my name is Pang Te, and I am the envoy of Bilge Khan. I have come to pay tribute and extend my most sincere respect."

Ponte held a wooden box in both hands.

This kind of communication does not require translation. Obviously, in this era, Chinese is an international language.

Although Chinese pronunciation varies from place to place, if you speak slowly and listen carefully, you can understand.

Sun Fu went up, took the box, and opened it.

Inside is a Jade Buddha. Judging by the workmanship, you can tell that it is not an item from the Central Plains, but it may not be made by the Uyghurs.

The Sinicization of Gaochang was relatively serious. Even when the Uyghurs came to Gaochang later, most of the handicrafts and artworks were Sinicized.

Zhao Ning noticed a dark-skinned man standing next to Ponte.

Zhao Ning immediately recognized where this person came from, and almost blurted out: Ah San!

Sun Fu said: "Messenger, what is in front of you is not the lord of Xia, but the co-lord of the whole world, the Son of Heaven."

Ponte was startled, and said: "I don't know if the Son of Heaven is here, it's really impolite."

"Those who don't know are innocent." Zhao Ning said lightly.

It is impossible for this Ponte not to know that Xingzhou has been occupied by the Song army. It is certainly not the first time he has dealt with the Xixia people. As long as he arrives at Xingqing Mansion, he will know that such a big thing has happened.

But he pretended not to know, and Zhao Ning didn't expose him.

"The envoy came to Xingzhou, what is the so-called?"

"Nothing else, just to do business." Ponte smiled, "We brought a lot of goods, I hope the emperor will allow us to exchange in the city."

"What kind of goods are they?"

Ponte said: "There are dromedary camels, big-tailed white sheep, room knives, glassware, jade stones, jade stone bottles, sand, jade, jade Buddhas, jade saddles, jade bridles, jade belts, jade Yueaxes, amber, and others. There are Kucha monks who offer Buddhist clips, Bodhi seal leaves, rosary beads, relics, Buddha bones, etc."

Zhao Ning asked suddenly: "Who is this next to your Excellency?"

"This is a friend of mine. He is from a more distant Ghaznavid country. He is also a businessman and has been doing business with us all year round."

Zhao Ning nodded.
