The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1239
The originally tense situation suddenly calmed down because the four major military regions surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

After the fall of the Song Dynasty, the commanders of the four major armies were willing to serve as pawns, sitting in Longzhou City and confronting the Helian City and Qu Rujian armies in Qingchuan County.

The soldiers of the Shuzhong Military Region in Chengdu seem to have been reduced to outsiders.

But at this time, Yue Peng led the army and hadn't rushed to the territory of Tongchuanfu Road.

He was still on his way from Kuizhou Road to Tongchuanfu Road.

After receiving the news of the defection of the four major military commanders, he hesitated.

With the current situation, there is actually no need for his army to go to Chengdu.

It's just that because of thinking about Zhao Dongting's explanations, he was worried that Zhao Dongting had other arrangements.He also did not choose to lead his army back directly.

The army of the Xianglong Military Region no longer went to Chengdu, but suddenly turned off and went straight to the territory of Lizhou East Road in Xixia.

What the emperor wants is to intimidate the imperial troops of Xixia, and it is also possible to go to Lizhou East Road.

Days passed quickly.

She Tuoba, Tuoba Wu and others intended to launch an attack on Helian City and Qu Rujian's army, but because there was no response from the Chengdu Mansion, they had no choice but to stand still.

Without the help of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, with their military strength, they would have lost both sides to the Imperial Army of Xixia.No one can predict what the situation will be like at that time.

Although Da Song now accepts their surrender, who dares to say that Da Song will not cross the river and tear down the bridge?
If they wait until they and the empress's imperial army are killed, the Song army will suddenly wipe out the entire Xixia.Who can they reason with?

In troubled times, the only way to preserve strength is the most important.

Although Zhongsun Guge was extremely unwilling to see Zhao Dongting again, after receiving the secret letter of peace request from Li Xiushu, he had no choice but to attack Zhao Dongting again.

Only this time, Zhao Dongting could probably guess his reason for coming.

When the eunuch reported to Zhao Dongting that the Xixia Ambassador Zhongsun Guge had asked to see him, Zhao Dongting was in the bedroom.

He accompanied the girls, playing with the little guys like Zhao An and Zhao Ru.

After hearing the eunuch's report, he smiled lightly, waved his hands and said: "Just say that I am busy with political affairs, let him come back another day."

The eunuch immediately walked outside.

Le Chan asked with some doubts: "Why didn't the emperor see Mr. Zhongsun? Maybe there will be a turning point in the affairs between our two countries?"

She certainly does not want to see the two countries go to war.

Zhao Dongting put Zhao An in his arms on the ground, and said with a smile, "Do you know what the situation is between Xixia and Song?"

Le Chan looked at him suspiciously.

Zhao Dongting said again: "Heishan Weifu and other military commanders in Xixia have surrendered to us, and now Xixia is no longer able to protect itself. In my estimation, Zhongsun Guge came here to ask for a visit, and it is very likely that he wanted to ask me Da Song asked for peace, because they Xixia no longer have the conditions to start a war with Da Song. Hehe, let him hang out first, so I can negotiate terms with them in the future. Fight if you want to fight, and make peace if you want to make peace. How can there be such a thing? good thing?"

Le Chan showed joy, and then hesitated slightly: "Then if Zhongsun Guge didn't come here to seek peace?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Even if I didn't come here for peace, it's not a big deal for me to let him go?"

Le Chan smiled and stopped asking about this matter.

Although she is the master of the harem, this is not something she needs to worry about.The question I asked just now was purely out of curiosity.

The sun is scorching!
After Zhao Dongting and Zhunu played with the little ones in the yard for a while, they couldn't stand the scorching heat and went back to the room.

There are ice cubes taken from the ice cellar in the room, which is much cooler than outside.

But Zhongsun Guge, the dignified Xixia ambassador to the Song Dynasty, could only continue to wait helplessly at the inner gate of the palace.

He asked the eunuch to report to Zhao Dongting again, saying that if he did not see Emperor Song today, he would stay in the palace and would not leave.

Unfortunately, the eunuch didn't give him any response.The answer is to agree to pass it on to the emperor, but after that, he can't even see his shadow.

In the hot palace, there is only the restless chirping of cicadas.

Zhongsun Guge was very miserable.

He is not young anymore, under such scorching sun, even if he stands in the shade under the inner door, he still feels dizzy and dizzy after only an hour.

But there was no news from the palace.

It seems that Zhao Dongting made up his mind not to see him.

Zhongsun Guge knew the importance of seeking peace, and was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to leave.

He is also stubborn.

Later, I don't know what he thought, but he stopped hiding in the tunnel, but walked towards the scorching sun.

Soon it was sweating profusely.

Then, less than half an hour later, the Xixia ambassador to the Song Dynasty forcibly passed out outside the corridor.

The whole body is already like being fished out of the water.

A guard hurriedly carried him into the house.

This incident, of course, alarmed Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting also felt that the posture was almost ready, and finally decided to see Zhongsun Guge.

When Zhongsun Guge woke up faintly in the room, he saw Zhao Dongting beside him.

Before he could open his mouth, Zhao Dongting said: "Master Zhongsun, why are you bothering? What is the matter, you must see me today?"

Zhongsun Guge almost fainted again after hearing the words.

He didn't believe that Zhao Dongting would not be able to deduce why he came here.

Although the emperor of the Song Dynasty was young, he was too old, treacherous and cunning, and a rascal.

But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to vent it to Zhao Dongting.

All the bitterness can only be swallowed into his own stomach.

He struggled to get up from the bed, bowed to Zhao Dongting and said: "Zhongsun Guge came to the emperor on my behalf, and I want to ask Emperor Song to stop the war."

"Strike?"

Zhao Dongting showed a look of surprise, "My great Song army has not gone to your territory in Xixia, why do you want to stop the army?"

Zhongsun Guge was full of bitterness, knowing that Zhao Dongting was pretending to be stupid.

Although the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty have not gone to the territory of Xixia, it is not possible to gather troops in Chengdu Mansion to take Xixia at any time?
He had no choice but to say clearly, "As long as your dynasty does not enter Xixia, and does not help the rebels of the four major military divisions, my majesty is willing to hand over the east and west of Lizhou."

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not answer.

Zhongsun Guge could only look at him.

After a while, Zhao Dongting suddenly opened his mouth and said, "This is the end? Is this the sincerity of your Xixia empress? You should know that it is easy for me to take your Xixia now, right?"

Zhongsun Guge finally couldn't help showing a little anger, "The Song Dynasty and Xixia have always been friendly countries. Don't you even let us Xixia survive?"

Zhao Dongting sneered, "Allies, allies! Why didn't you think that Song and Xixia have always been allies when your empress made a big move to attack my Song Dynasty?"

Zhongsun Guge confronted each other, "Is that also related to your actions?"

Zhao Dongting waved his hands, "If you came here with such an attitude, then there is no need to talk about it! If the two support each other, I, Da Song, will always help you Xixia more?"

Zhongsun Guge was slightly startled.

He had no way to refute Zhao Dongting's words.

Indeed, since the restoration of Xixia, if it hadn't been for the help of Song Dynasty, the Empress would not have been able to develop Xixia into what it is now in such a short period of time.

He also understood that Emperor Song's refusal to accept the peace must be because he felt that the conditions given by Xixia were not enough.

Of course he wouldn't just walk away, so he could only lower his posture and say, "Then, what can you do, Emperor Song, to continue to maintain friendship with us Xixia?"

"It's easy!"

Zhao Dongting wrote quite lightly: "In fact, compared with those who have no monarch in the eyes of the four major military commanders, I am of course more willing to associate with the empress of your dynasty. Only the four major military commanders have surrendered to my dynasty, and I am willing to bow down to my dynasty in the future. And help me, Great Song, to put down your Xixia Forbidden Army. It is not impossible for you to stand by if you want me to stand by the emperor, but as for the premise, Master Zhongsun, you don’t need me to say anything more, right?”

Zhongsun Guge changed his face in panic.

Of course he knew what Zhao Dongting meant.

Emperor Song wants them Xixia to bow their heads to Song Dynasty!It's like how the four major army divisions did to Song Dynasty.

Only this point is also the bottom line for the Empress and all the veterans in the court.

How dare he agree?
For a while, he really didn't want to leave or stay.

After pondering for a long while, Zhongsun Guge only said again: "Could it be that Emperor Song couldn't show face to us Xixia Wang because of his relationship with me as the emperor?"

The use of words such as "open face" between countries also shows how low his posture is at this time.

Zhao Dongting just chuckled, "If it wasn't for the love with her, do you think my army would still stay in the Chengdu mansion?"
