The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1244
Not long after that, they hurried back to Longzhou City.

Zhang Guangbao didn't take this matter too seriously.

Because in his mind, no matter whether Xixia can reach an agreement with the emperor, with the internal worries of the four major army commanders, Xixia will not have the energy to start a war with Song Dynasty again.

Only the next day, in Changsha City, Zhongsun Guge went to the palace to see Zhao Dongting again.

Zhao Dongting still met him in the imperial study.

This year's cool summer seems to be extraordinarily long.

In previous years, until the beginning of September, there will always be a cold snap approaching, making Changsha city suddenly much cooler.But this year, even in September, there seems to be no sign of the cold snap coming.

Zhongsun Guge, who was brought into the imperial study by the eunuch, and the eunuch who led him in front were sweating profusely.

The young Zhongsun Guge was even out of breath.

"Bring tea."

When Zhao Dongting saw him, he nodded slightly to Eunuch Liu beside him.Then he asked Zhongsun Guge with a smile, "Did Master Zhongsun bring the meaning of the Empress?"

When Zhongsun Guge saw Zhao Dongting like this, he knew that Emperor Song might have already deduced the choice that the Empress, Grand Master Zhongsun and others would make in his heart.At the moment, I can't stop admiring him.

He bowed to Zhao Dongting, and said: "I am willing to bow my head to the Great Song Dynasty. In a few days, some envoys will come to you to submit the document of admission."

"it is good."

Zhao Dongting nodded and chuckled, "Then I wish our two countries a good relationship from generation to generation."

There was a smile on Zhongsun Guge's face, but he felt a little bitter in his heart.

The capital of Xixia is already about to become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, so what qualifications do they have to discuss equal relations with the Song Dynasty?
Only these words, he himself will not say it.

He only asked: "Then I don't know when Emperor Song is going to dismiss the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty in the Chengdu Mansion?"

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty stayed in the Chengdu mansion, so there is no talk of dismissing them. Don't worry, Mr. Zhongsun, I have already promised to stop the war with you, and I will never send troops to your territory in Xixia .”

Before Xixia's pronouncing document was officially handed over to him and the world knew about it, he certainly wouldn't just let the soldiers of the Shuzhong Military Region in Chengdu Mansion return to their own establishments.

Although Zhongsun Guge was a little worried, he couldn't say anything more.

After a little silence, he said: "Since that's the case, then Zhongsun Guge will take his leave first."

Zhao Dongting nodded.

Zhongsun Guge turned around and walked towards the outside of the imperial study room.

From the beginning to the end, he did not ask Zhao Dongting whether he would send troops to help the Xixia Imperial Army destroy the four major army divisions.

Because there is no need to ask.

The four major military commanders surrendered to Song Dynasty, and now the Empress Group also bowed their heads to Song Dynasty.Anyone can imagine that under such a situation, Da Song must choose two and not want to help.

But what Zhongsun Guge didn't know was that after he left, Zhao Dongting sent a letter to Zhang Guangbao, telling Zhang Guangbao to be ready at all times.If the Xixia Forbidden Army is not the opponent of the Four Great Army Divisions, then let the soldiers of the Central Shu Military Region enter Xixia territory to help the Xixia Forbidden Army to destroy the Four Great Army Divisions.

In his heart, of course, the four major armies are far from being able to compare with the Empress Group.

Not to mention the relationship between him and Li Xiushu, just talk about Li Xiaoshu.Li Zunxiao will be the king of Xixia in the future, how could Zhao Dongting watch his son's throne being taken away?
He can sit back and watch the four major military commanders and the Xixia Imperial Army fight inextricably, but he will never watch the four major military commanders destroy the empress group.

It was the next day.

Before the envoys of the four major military divisions rushed back to Longzhou City, He Liancheng and Qu Rujian led the army out of Qingchuan County after a little reorganization.

Among them, the Xixia Imperial Army totaled 14, and the Qitian Army was [-].There are also Gansu Army Division and Xiangqing Army Division with [-] soldiers each, which is a total of more than [-] soldiers.

The tents that were originally spread all over the mountains and plains around Qingchuan County were removed in a short period of time, and 14 soldiers marched on the official road at the same time, which is a mighty force.

And behind the army, there are still countless people recruited to escort the army with food and grass.

These people are like a long dragon, meandering forward on the official road.

Under the scorching sun, the atmosphere of the battle suddenly became extremely dignified.

And this news was learned by She Tuoli, Tuoba Wu and others not long after.

The generals of the four major military regions hurriedly gathered in the government office of Longzhou City.

As soon as they met, they both noticed the solemn look on their faces.

Before he could sit down, Tuoba Wu said: "I received a letter saying that He Liancheng, Qu Rujian and others are leading an army to Longzhou City. The Empress probably has already made peace with the Song Kingdom."

With She Tuoli's temperament, he couldn't help clapping his hands on the table in anger, "Emperor Song is really a villain who doesn't believe what he says!"

As his words fell, the table in front of him was also shattered, almost reduced to powder.

Everyone was slightly moved by his inadvertent display of martial arts strength.

Tuoba Wu only asked again: "Brother She Tuo, what should we do now?"

She Tuoli gritted his teeth and said, "Although we don't know whether Zhang Guangbao has agreed to our withdrawal, the imperial army of the Song Dynasty has no sign of going to war. I think the Song Dynasty probably didn't intend to intervene in the battle between us and the empress, and just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Now that Helian City and Qu Rujian are leading the army, if we want to retreat, it will be difficult to avoid their obstruction. For the current plan, I am afraid that we can only blame them for killing each other. Instead of thinking about retreating, it is better to overthrow the empress , the Zhongsun family, and the Helian family's allied forces!"

The expressions of the rest of the people were even more dignified upon hearing this.

Although they have long had the idea of ​​confronting the Empress, but at this moment, it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous.Because if they lose, the four major military commanders and their families will completely lose power.In all likelihood, the empress will drive them all to death.

But as She Tuoli said, they no longer have time to make detours, they can only fight He Liancheng and Qu Rujian's army to the death.

No one spoke in the hall for a long time, and She Tuoli said again: "You all don't express your views, do you agree with my thoughts?"

Everyone still didn't speak.

"it is good."

She Tuoli said: "Since that's the case, please go back and prepare for the war! We will destroy Helian City and Qu Rujian's army in Longzhou City, and then the army will drive straight in and pull the empress down from the throne!"

He said these words with murderous awe.

Everyone in the hall stood up, bowed their hands to She Tuo with solemn expressions, and then left separately.

On this day, all the military regions inside and outside Longzhou City were in full swing.

All kinds of defense equipment were moved to the top of the city and outside the camp.

The four major army divisions are ready to fight.

In the Chengdu mansion, Zhang Guangbao also got the news that He Liancheng and Qu Rujian led the army out of the city not long after.

That's all, he still has no plans to lead the Great Song Imperial Army out of the city.

In two days.

Zhao Dongting's letter arrived in the Chengdu mansion.

At the same time, Liu Zhuwen and others also rushed to Chengdu Mansion after returning to the middle of Shu.

Zhang Guangbao was reading Zhao Dongting's secret letter in the room when he heard the report from the soldiers outside: "Deputy Marshal, Marshal and the others are back!"

Zhang Guangbao couldn't help standing up.

Then Liu Zhuwen's loud laughter sounded outside the house.

He walked into the room and said to Zhang Guangbao: "Brother Zhang, you have really worked hard these days."

Zhang Guangbao just smiled, walked up to Liu Zhuwen, and said, "Now that you come back, I can relax, right?"

As he spoke, he handed Zhao Dongting's secret letter directly to Liu Zhuwen, "This is the emperor's secret decree just received. He asked us to stand still for the time being."

Liu Zhuwen read the letter, pondered slightly, and said, "Then let's stand still for now."

After all, a little smile appeared on his face.

No matter how the Xixia Forbidden Army and the four major military commanders look like, this is not a bad thing in his opinion.

The bloody battle between the two armies ended up with no benefit.The biggest winner of this battle is undoubtedly Da Song.Because the war has not yet started, this peach has already been eaten by Da Song.

Outside Longzhou city.

He Liancheng and Qu Rujian led the army and finally arrived here.

The army set up a camp only five miles away from Longzhou City, and confronted the soldiers of the four major armies inside and outside Longzhou City.

The envoys who went to Chengdu Mansion to request a retreat finally rushed back to Longzhou City.

Their smiles disappeared shortly after entering Longzhou City.

They didn't expect that just after Zhang Guangbao agreed to withdraw their troops, He Liancheng and Qu Rujian had already pushed outside Longzhou City.

It seemed that this was planned by Xi Xia and Song Guo.And their four major military regions are like sheep locked in a pen.
