The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1402 Talk of Yuan Xia ([-])

However, Weng Zhengna's expression remained unchanged after hearing what he said, and he only said: "This is what I mean to the emperor."

Tuoba Xiong sighed deeply, looked at the silent ministers in the hall, walked up to Weng Zhengna, and said in a low voice: "Master Weng, can you borrow a step?"

Then the two ignored the officials in the hall and Li Siliang, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Outside the hall, Tuoba Xiong continued to ask: "Master Weng, dare to ask, your country is suddenly like this... Is it because the Song Army took Dengzhou, Tangzhou and other states? And your country's defeat in Weizhou?"

Weng Zhengna looked deeply at Tuoba Xiong, "How do I know what the emperor means. It's only natural to pay back the debt, right?"

"Naturally, naturally."

Tuoba Xiong nodded, "It's just that your country proposed to provide arms to our country at the beginning. Now that your country suddenly asks me to pay for it, shouldn't it be to draw a line with us?"

This is already quite straightforward.

Weng Zhengna heard the words and stopped playing around, and said, "Brother Tuoba, you should be clear about the current situation. I'm worried that if you don't ask you for this money, it will end up being cheaper for the Song Kingdom!"

Tuoba Xiong sneered, but he couldn't help clenching his hands hidden in his sleeves, "Our army finally took down the Zhongxing Mansion, but your country wants to let go at this time? Forgive me, your country is like this Behavior, should it be regarded as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? Is it better to add insult to injury?"

It can be seen how angry he is already in his heart because his city government has said such words.

But Weng Zhengna was not angry, but said indifferently: "You can say whatever you want, I want to be stable to the emperor. And now, we don't seem to be opponents of the Song Dynasty."

"Ha ha……"

Tuoba Xiong stared sharply, and said in a deep voice: "So you guys have to back down! And you're going to add insult to injury! In the end, the unlucky one is our Great Xia, and your Yuan Dynasty, but you don't even want to pay the price, do you?"

Weng Zhengna turned his head to look at the empty Qianping, "The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Weizhou, and the lives of soldiers in Tangzhou and Dengzhou, are not the price?"

Then, he turned his head and looked directly at Tuoba Xiong, "Master Tuoba, when it's time to admit defeat, you have to admit defeat... Now I'm heading towards the territory bordering Xijiang and your Great Xia, except for Xijing Road, the rest of the roads are gone. If you continue to fight, do you think you Daxia can win?"

"But we have all won the Zhongxing Mansion!"

Tuoba Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "It was your emperor who asked us to establish the country. We paid more than [-] soldiers to take down the Zhongxing Mansion with great difficulty. Now you tell me that you will stop fighting! Without your support, our Great Xia Isn’t it only the Song Kingdom’s destruction! And if my Great Xia is destroyed, then it will not only be as simple as your country not being able to use my Daxia to attack the Song Kingdom. If the Song Kingdom recovers Xixia, hehe... Their army is coming in from here, you Da Yuan, can you stop it?"

Weng Zhengna breathed out, "This is not something I should think about. I only know that this is what the emperor wanted. How dare you not give me the money?"

Tuoba Xiong rubbed the center of his brows, and his tone suddenly softened a lot, "I thought that when Emperor Yuan conveyed this meaning, he probably didn't know that our army had already captured the Zhongxing Mansion. Brother Weng, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... If your country continues to support our dynasty, it is not impossible for our tens of thousands of troops to block the Song army?"

As he spoke, he leaned close to Weng Zhengna's ear, "Why don't Brother Weng report the situation to Emperor Yuan first, and then see how Emperor Yuan decides, how about it?"

Weng Zhengna narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tuoba Xiong said quietly again: "10 taels, it's considered that I owe Brother Weng this favor."

Weng Zhengna said softly: "Brother Tuoba, you are embarrassing me..."

Tuoba Xiong said again: "15 taels...otherwise, I will be destroyed around Daxia, those silver taels, Brother Weng, you can come to the underworld to ask me for it..."

Weng Zhengna looked deeply at Tuoba Xiong.

Of course he could hear the meaning of Tuoba Xiong, if Yuan Chao wanted to disembark at this time, then Tuoba Xiong would be broken.

It's dead anyway, and I don't care about offending the Yuan Dynasty.

I don't know if it's because of the temptation of money, or because of the balance of interests, in the end Weng Zhengna nodded slightly, "Then I will help Brother Tuoba with this."

After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the bottom of the dragon wall.

Tuoba Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly in the back, but shouted: "I'll have my servants sweep the silver to Xiongtai's mansion later, I'll be fine."

Then he also turned around and walked towards the hall.

In the main hall, Tuoba Xiong's complexion was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Back the court!"

After that, he left.

None of the courtiers in the hall knew what the end result of the bargain between him and Weng Zhengna was.

And on this day, some carrier pigeons landed in the imperial palace of Yuan Zhongdu.I don't know how much earlier than Weng Zhengna's memorial.

This secret letter was sent back by Dharma King Luo Tuo himself.

There were only a few words in the letter, the Great Xia Army captured Zhongxing Mansion, the Empress was captured, there were still more than [-] Great Xia Army in the city, and the Song Army left the city for half a day, with less than [-] troops, the emperor decided.

After seeing the real gold in the letter, he immediately announced Yeluzhu, Harbala and others to meet in the imperial study.

After everyone arrived, he had a rather complicated expression on his face. He handed the letter to Harbala and said, "This is a letter from the Dharma King. You all have to read it."

Yeluzhu and others read the letter, and their complexions became similar to those of real gold.

If this letter could come sooner, it would really be a happy thing for everyone.It's a pity that although the Zhongxing Mansion is broken, their army has long been defeated in Weizhou.

When the letter was handed back to Zhenjin, Zhenjin said: "I thought that after our army was defeated in Weizhou, the Great Xia Army would definitely not be able to take the Zhongxing Mansion. Now, they have taken the Zhongxing Mansion, and There are more than twice the strength of the Song army in the city. This Xixia, whether we should fight for it or not, you all talk about your views."

There was a long silence in the royal study.

Yeluzhu cupped his hands towards Zhenjin, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that although the Daxia Army has captured the Zhongxing Mansion, and there are only less than [-] Song troops outside the city, the overall situation is actually quite unfavorable to Daxia. After all, now we It is already difficult to transfer soldiers to the western frontier, and there are no redundant soldiers in Daxia. In the territory of Song Dynasty, although they can't transfer any soldiers from the Shuzhong Military Region, they are in the Xianglong Military Region bordering Xixia. It can also draw a lot of soldiers. With Emperor Song's character, I feel that he probably won't give up on Xixia. If the army from the Xianglong Military Region is sent to invade Xixia and join forces with the imperial army in Shu, the Great Xia army may not be able to stop it. I will only lose a lot of arms in vain."

Zhen Jin nodded lightly when he heard the words, "What you said is indeed somewhat reasonable. But that's all, to be honest, I am quite unwilling..."

In order to win Xixia, the price they paid in the Yuan Dynasty was already quite heavy.

It was Halbala who also said, "Your Majesty, I have a different opinion from Master Yeluzhu. After all, the Song Xianglong Military Region is still bordering on our Dayuan Jingzhaofu Road, so it is impossible to dispatch the whole army. If you want to come, Song Emperor is the general. All the soldiers that can be transferred are sent to Xixia, and it is difficult for them to surpass the Daxia army in Xixia. And the Daxia army supported by our arms may not be able to stop the Song army."

"Moreover, our court can also transfer troops from Datong Mansion and Xijing Road to Zhongxing Mansion. Although this may cause us to pay a greater loss, but at the same time, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can defeat in Xixia territory The Song army can make the Xianglong and Shuzhong military regions of the Song State exist in name only. At that time, with our Dayuan, Daxia, and Tubo simultaneously exerting pressure on the Song State, the Song State, which has no heavy troops on the northwest frontier, will be in a hurry. They If it's messed up, we can just take advantage of it."

Yelu Zhu heard the words and looked at Harbala, "Marshal, although what you said is good, it is all based on the premise that we can win in Xixia. What if... we lose?"

Halbala said: "Even if they are defeated, there will be Daxia as pawns. It will take some time for Song to destroy them. We can even continue to support Daxia and let them last longer in front of the Song army. In Xinjiang, Yuanwuqi has already led the army to go there. The Song army will definitely not be able to enter in a short time, and the Song country does not have the strength to continue to support such a war. We can take advantage of this time to unite the four major vassal states. When the strength is sufficient , and compete with Song Guo!"

Zhenjin pursed his lips, and patted the back of his right hand with his left hand, "Then do as Halbala wants! Continue to support Daxia, and let the army of Xijing Road and Datong Mansion prepare to go out."

"Emperor Shengming..."

Hearing what he said, Yeluzhu didn't say anything more.It's just that no matter it's him or Sang Ge, there is still worry in their eyes.

Facing the Song army, they have not yet won a battle.In my heart, I really have no confidence.
