The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 524 Letter to Bazhou
Zhao Dongting sighed softly, "Madam led She people's soldiers to shed blood for our Great Song Dynasty. It is I who should thank Madam."

As he spoke, Zhao Dongting bowed and cupped his hands to Mrs. Xu.

Baolei Prefecture and the fight for Fujian are all thanks to Mrs. Xu and the soldiers of the She people.Among them, Mrs. Xu helped Zhao Dongting with Hong Wutian and others many times, this is kindness.

Although Zhao Dongting, as the emperor, can take this for granted.But he didn't. He always remembered the contributions of Mrs. Xu and others.

No one is born to pay for anyone.The emperor can't treat the subjects of the world like dogs.

In Minqing today, thick smoke from burning paper money wafts endlessly.

Zhao Dongting and others returned to the city with Yuan Zhenzi and other Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain and all the soldiers after the ceremony was over.

Straw mats were spread inside and outside the Song Army garrison in Nancheng District.

There were not so many tables, and the soldiers sat on the floor.

The Hutou soldiers in the army were in a hurry, and kept bringing all kinds of wine and dishes to the soldiers.

It is both a memorial and a reward.

Although this kind of expenditure will put even more pressure on the Song court, Zhao Dongting is not heartbroken.

The soldiers fought bloody battles, and now they have negotiated peace with the Yuan Dynasty, and they are about to untie their swords and soldiers, so what's wrong with letting them eat some big fish and meat?
Zhao Dongting not only wants to let the soldiers of the She people eat well, but also rewards the three armies when they return to Leizhou.

If the money is gone, you can earn more.

As long as the war is over, with his brain, there is absolutely a way to make Da Song's economy develop at an extremely fast speed.

This night, the sound of firecrackers can be heard endlessly until late at night.

That night, countless soldiers were slightly drunk, crying and laughing.

As the night wind blows, weeping and complaining, it seems that the soldiers who died in battle are crying and laughing with them.

When the light of morning light illuminates the earth, one can see that there are many soldiers lying here and there on the streets of Nancheng District.They fell asleep on the ground last night.

Among them, there are even Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain.

……

Lizhou East Road.

A carrier pigeon landed in Bazhou, and landed in a blacksmith's shop in a remote street in the city.

Bazhou is located in the south of Lizhou East Road, very close to Tongchuanfu Road and Kuizhou Road.After Li Wangyuan led tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers to Lizhou East Road, he stationed here.

The carrier pigeon is naturally a carrier pigeon from Leizhou.The blacksmith shop is the stronghold of the Military Intelligence Office in Bazhou City.

Ten days ago, Zhao Dongting asked Wen Tianxiang to send a letter to Leizhou to take Turandot, the Pearl Princess, to Minqing. He also asked Lu Xiufu and others to urge Li Wangyuan to send troops quickly to prevent the White Horse from continuing to occupy Kuizhou.

With the speed of carrier pigeons, it took only two days to reach Leizhou.

Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jue, Chen Wenlong, Xiang Dongyang and other state affairs, supervision, punishment, military officials and deputy officials in the middle of the court were overjoyed when they learned about the peace talks between Song and Yuan.Then he hurriedly asked Huang Liujia and other dozens of experts from Wudingtang to escort Princess Mingzhu out of Leizhou to Minqing to join Zhao Dongting and others.

A few days later, the pigeon sent a letter to Bazhou, asking the Bazhou Military Intelligence Office to hand it over to Li Wangyuan.

Why did it take several days to send the letter to Bazhou? This is Zhao Dongting's explanation.

The peace negotiation is still a secret, and he doesn't want the news to leak out before Turandot and the others leave the palace.

Calculating the time, postponing the letter to Bazhou for a few days, when Li Wangyuan receives the news, and then when the news leaks out, Turandot should also arrive in Minqing soon, so there will be no accidents.

Although Zhao Dongting also desperately hoped that Li Wangyuan would block the white horse in the middle of Shu, he still could afford to wait for a few days.

Even in the Song Dynasty, there must have been Dali elaborations, let alone Xixia?

But let the white horse in central Shu continue to wreak havoc in Kuizhou for a few more days, it's better than Turandot and his party being intercepted halfway.

Zhao Dongting knew very well in his heart that Dali and Shuzhong would never be happy to see himself negotiate peace with the Yuan Dynasty, because they always held the idea of ​​snipe and clam fighting each other for the fisherman's gain.

The carrier pigeon landed on the fence of the smithy.

A man who was blacksmithing in the shop saw his complexion changed slightly, so he hurriedly went to find the shopkeeper.

Then, the blacksmith shop suddenly closed.

The shopkeeper was a tall and thick man who looked more like a blacksmith than a blacksmith. His bronze skin seemed to be full of explosive power.

He hurried to the backyard, holding some rice in his hand, and clucked twice at the carrier pigeons flapping their wings on the wall.

The carrier pigeon spread its wings and landed on his palm.

The shopkeeper carefully stroked the pigeon's back, and gently removed the two letters tied to the pigeon's legs.

One of the seals was tied with three red silk ribbons, and the top was sealed with a mud seal, with a secret word printed on it.

The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback.

Three red ribbons, this is the most advanced military situation.And the word secret means that even he cannot read it.

Then, he looked at another one.

This letter was only tied with a green silk ribbon, and there was no secret words on the inkpad.

Obviously, the letter was addressed to him.A green ribbon represents the lowest level of military intelligence.

With some doubts, the shopkeeper handed the carrier pigeon to the clerk, then ran into his room, and then took out the book full of codes from the secret compartment.

After dealing with them one by one, he understood the contents of the letter.

Hand over the secret letter to Li Wangyuan of Xixia, and don't reveal it.

Looking at the contents of the letter translated by himself on the desk, the shopkeeper fell into deep thought.It is also a matter of brains to send a letter without revealing the truth.

About 10 minutes later, the blacksmith shop opened again.The man hurried out with the secret letter.

On this day, a group of little beggars suddenly ran to the Xixia military camp and knelt down, begging to see Li Wangyuan.

"We want to see Marshal Li!"

"We want to see Marshal Li!"

The little beggars were shouting in their mouths, and some of them still had crumbs of white flour steamed buns at the corners of their mouths.

The soldiers guarding the camp were naturally a little surprised, and then chased them away impatiently: "Go, go, go somewhere else to play around! Marshal, you can see it as soon as you say it!"

At this time, Li Wangyuan had not been restored to the throne, so the soldiers in the army did not call him by titles such as His Majesty and Emperor.

But the little beggars didn't leave, they just shouted.

The soldiers guarding the camp were even more impatient, holding guns and said: "If you keep messing around, I will fix it, do you believe it?"

After all, this frightened the little beggars.

Many little beggars hurriedly ran to the back.

But one of them raised his hand and threw the crumpled secret letter to the soldiers, stuck out his tongue and said, "This secret letter is for you, Marshal Li."

Then, he also ran away.

Some soldiers picked up the secret letter, didn't take it seriously, and threw it away.

"Wait!"

At this moment, the centurion said, "Show me the letter."

He took the letter from the soldier, but he was a little puzzled, thinking to himself, "How could the little beggar have such a letter? Where did they get the ribbon? Where did they get the ink pad?"

This is obviously not like a prank by the little beggars.Moreover, with the courage of the little beggars, I am afraid that they will not dare to use the army to attack.

After thinking about it, the centurion said: "I'm going to see the marshal, you guys are here to stay safe."

He felt that it was better to report this matter to Marshal Li.

With that said, the centurion walked into the barracks.

The handsome tent in the camp.

Li Wangyuan was dressed in bright armor, a tasseled helmet on his head, and a cloak on his back. He was majestic and majestic.

He sits on the handsome seat, while the people below the tent are mostly old literati, and some are young people.

These people are all old ministers of Xixia, or their descendants.

They are also the foundation of Lee Wang Won.

Li Wangyuan, Li Xiushu and other Xixia royal families have been under house arrest in Dadu for decades, and these Xixia royal family loyalists are still running for the restoration of Xixia.If it weren't for them, it was obviously impossible for Li Wangyuan alone to control the old land of Xixia in such a short period of time, and even the Yuan troops from Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou's east and west routes would have rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty.

The centurion walked to the door of the commander's tent and knelt down on the ground, "Marshal, a group of little beggars outside the camp sent a letter saying it was for you."

He rested his hands above his head, holding the crumpled secret letter.

Li Wangyuan was slightly stunned, looked over, and said lightly: "Present it!"

The centurion stood up and walked into the tent, not forgetting to explain as he walked, "The general thought it was strange that little beggars should not have red ribbons and ink pads, so I showed them to you."

Li Wangyuan didn't say much, just stood up and took the letter.

After opening it, a look of great joy appeared on his face.
