Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Great victory in Qingtang! The Western Expeditionary Army captured Qingtang City and captured the prince for a blind expedition."

The second year of Shaosheng had just arrived. When the good news from Qingtang came back, the civil and military officials in the court cheered.

The Song Dynasty lacked land to raise horses, but Qingtang was an excellent pasture. The Song Dynasty obtained Qingtang, which made up for the biggest weakness of the lack of war horses, and could also form a pincer attack on Xixia. The strategic position was extremely important.

"The officials are wise! God bless the Song Dynasty."

Even though the three parties in the court worked hard and argued endlessly, now they were all overjoyed when they heard the good news.

Zhao Xu also breathed a sigh of relief. This time the Song Dynasty sent troops in winter, which was a bit risky. Now that he heard that the Song army was successful, he finally felt relieved.

"Fan Aiqing made great contributions in this westward expedition to Qingtang, and the cotton armor made by the Ordnance Supervisor was indispensable." Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng appreciatively.

Fan was in charge of the weapons inspection and created cotton armor that could keep out the cold, and also provided a strategy for winter surprise attacks. Otherwise, everyone knows that if the Song Dynasty attacked Qingtang in the spring and Qingtang responded, the price would definitely be high. Much more than now.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The humble ministers dare not take the credit. They all rely on the frontline soldiers to fight to the death."

Seeing that Fan Zhengke did not take the credit as he did in the second battle of Pingxia City, the officials nodded slightly.

The privy envoy Zeng Bu came out and asked: "I am reporting to the officials that General Zhong captured Prince Qingtang and marched blindly. He will be sent to Kaifeng soon. I don't know how the officials will deal with it."

"Do you have any love advice?" Zhao Xu asked.

Zeng Bu suggested: "Xian Zheng is the prince of Qingtang and has a high prestige in Qingtang. It is better for us to make Xian Zheng the king of Qingtang."

Lu Dafang suggested: "It is not appropriate to establish the King of Qingtang. When we established Ali Gu as the champion general and the governor of Liangzhou, it is better to abolish Ali Gu's official title and let his son Xizheng inherit it. In the future, he can be a justifiable general." Prefectures and counties were established in the Hehuang Valley."

"Can!"

Zhao Xu nodded in agreement.

........................

When Zhongpu sent people to escort the captured Qingtang Prince to Kaifeng City! The messengers from Liao and Xixia arrived almost at the same time.

"Informing the officials, the Liao State sent an envoy to deliver a letter from Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, accusing the Song Dynasty of betraying the peace treaty and innocently attacking Qingtang."

"The envoy from Xixia arrived and asked us, the Song Dynasty, to withdraw from Qingtang immediately, release the prince to fight blindly, and restore the annual currency. Otherwise, don't blame the three kingdoms of Xixia, Qingtang, and Liao for jointly attacking the Song Dynasty."

………………

Cai Bian, the Minister of Rites, frowned and reported.

"Liao and Xixia are bullying people too much!" The civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but look hesitant.

This attack on Qingtang did not violate the peace treaty signed with Liao and Xia. The two Xia actually took the initiative to intervene.

Zhang Dun said: "The Liao Kingdom is too far away from Qingtang and there is no need to worry about it. However, Xixia and Qingtang have always been in collusion with each other. If our army captures Qingtang, Xixia will definitely not let it go and will definitely cause trouble."

Zhao Xu said loudly: "I am sending an order to Zhang Kai. If Xixia dares to make any changes, he will immediately tear up the peace treaty and continue to carry out the strategy of shallow attack and disturbance of farming."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dun took the order.

Su Song solemnly said: "Officials must not be careless. Although the Song army has conquered Qingtang, Ali Gu has escaped to the hinterland of Qingtang, which will cause great trouble to our army in the future."

"Ali Gu!" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng with a solemn expression and asked, "Fan Aiqing! Can the Rhodiola rosea be ready?"

Fan Zheng came out of the queue and said: "I have informed the officials that Rhodiola rosea has been prepared and formulated into medicine. It will definitely be delivered to the frontline soldiers before spring."

"Okay! Ali Gu doesn't know that the Song Dynasty has mastered the method of cracking the air epidemic. Our army used troops in winter to capture Qingtang. It already has an advantage. This battle will definitely defeat Qingtang." Zhao Xu said with high spirits.

Since he ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty has been on the defensive in the face of foreign enemies. Now that Qingtang was destroyed in one battle, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel proud.

"Then the Liaoxia envoy!" Cai Bian frowned.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said: "The original peace treaty was signed by Fan Taicheng and Master Cai, so you can just come forward and send the Liao Xia envoys."

"I will take your orders!"

Fan Zheng and Cai Bian came out.

………………

"I'm waiting to see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

In Honglu Temple, envoys from the Liao Kingdom and Xixia envoys kept making noises.

"The Song Dynasty broke the contract without any reason and will be severely punished!" The Xixia envoy was even more arrogant and pretended to be powerful.

However, they did not wait to be summoned by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Only Fan Zheng and Cai Bian came together.

Fan Zheng snorted coldly and said: "You two, please go back! Qingtang is a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. It has attacked the Song Dynasty twice in a row. If the Song Dynasty does not punish them severely, how can it establish its authority?"

The envoy from the Liao Kingdom frowned and said: "The Song Kingdom must not insist on going its own way. Although the country is large, if it is warlike, it will perish. This is a famous saying of the Han people. I send this message to the Song Kingdom."

Cai Bian sneered and said: "I admire the Liao envoy Zhishu Dali. However, it seems that the Song Dynasty is the country that has always been oppressed. Moreover, there is another sentence in this sentence. Although the world is peaceful, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. The Liao envoy may have forgotten it, let alone The world is not at peace now, Qingtang attacked the Song Dynasty for no reason, and the Song Dynasty is just fighting back."

The Liao envoy was speechless.

The Xixia envoy threatened: "Since the Song Dynasty does not listen to the advice, aren't you afraid that the three countries will send troops to divide the Song Dynasty?"

Fan Zheng was unmoved and said: "Divide the Song Dynasty into two? Our Song Dynasty has thunder and thunder, and we are not afraid of any threats. It is enough to make all invading enemies unable to return."

"Shaking thunder!"

When the Xixia envoy heard this, he suddenly felt helpless.

Originally, among the countries, although the Song army had the upper hand in numbers, it was the weakest in force. But now the Song Dynasty has Zhentian Lei, which makes up for the biggest shortcoming in force. Although it lacks offense, it has more than enough defense.

The two consecutive pings of Xia City were the best example, which made the Xixia envoy quite helpless.

"This is the grudge between the Song Dynasty and Qingtang and has nothing to do with Xixia. If Xixia dares to make any changes, don't blame the Song Dynasty for not abiding by the armistice and peace treaty." Cai Bian warned.

The Xixia envoy's arrogance suddenly subsided. He naturally knew Xixia's trump card. Xixia was now unable to attack the Song Dynasty again, and the Liao Kingdom would naturally not stand up for Qingtang, which was not far away.

Seeing the envoys from Xixia and Liao leaving in despair, Cai Bian finally gained the confidence of a great nation and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"A weak country has no diplomacy! We, the Song Dynasty, must keep this lesson in mind and never make the same mistake again."

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"A weak country has no diplomacy! Fan Taicheng's words are profound."

Cai Bian couldn't help but lamented that he had been on a mission to the Liao Kingdom during the Shenzong period, and the Liao Kingdom was so arrogant that Cai Bian felt greatly humiliated.

But now that the Song Dynasty is reforming to become stronger, even in the face of the combined threats of Liao and Xia, the Song Dynasty still has the confidence to protect itself. Even the people at Honglu Temple can't help but change their mentality.

"Next, there will be a blind expedition by Prince Qingtang."

Now the two of them went hand in hand to the place where Blind Zheng was imprisoned.

"The guilty minister has met the two envoys blindly."

When Xiang Zheng saw Fan Zheng and Cai Bian, he quickly bowed respectfully.

"It is your Majesty's decree that the people below Qingtang deceived the superiors and attacked the superior country innocently. Today we are sending troops to teach you as punishment." Cai Bian shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, please don't blame me. It was my father Ali Gu who sent out troops for no reason. Blind Zheng never had any intention of offending the Heavenly Kingdom." In order to survive, Blind Zheng betrayed his father without hesitation.
