Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 572 "Zhao Pan"'s way of dying lips and teeth
Li Qing shook his head with a smile and said: "Hehe, the Fourth Prince's words are wrong."

Hearing what Li Qingwei said, Huo Dou and Kublai looked at each other.

Huo Du snorted coldly at this moment and said: "His Royal Highness King Wei, you really know how to play tricks. You can get the Central Plains, why don't you dare to admit it? And the strength that His Highness King Wei displayed just now must have been in the big victory. Guan, and everyone in Chongyang Palace must be His Royal Highness King Wei."

Li Qingwei didn't expect Huo Dou to see it, but now is not the time to completely reveal the cards.

At least to your enemy, never tell him what your cards are.

Always make him feel a little "scrupulous" about you.

Li Qing smiled slightly and said: "How can this king be able to be compared with the commander in chief."

"Marshal!" Kublai Khan and Huo Dou exclaimed at the same time.

Li Qingwei's expression changed at this time, as if he felt that he had said something wrong.

Kublai Khan said with a smile at this time: "It seems that His Highness King Wei is serving other forces!"

Li Qingwei said: "Heh~! If that's the case, then it's okay to tell you. Now I'm doing my best under the leadership of the 'Emperor of the Tang Dynasty'."

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? As far as this king knows, it has been nearly three hundred years since the "Huangchao Rebellion" and the end of "Zhu Wen's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty". Are you kidding me?"

Li Qingwei looked at Kublai Khan at this time and said: "This king is not joking with the fourth prince. Now that the 20 heavenly troops of the Tang Dynasty have captured Chang'an Luoyang, Hanzhong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will announce it to the world soon, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and show that The world is orthodox."

Li Qingwei deliberately exaggerated the number of his troops, saying too little would not be enough to deter people, and saying too much would arouse suspicion.

20 is neither too much nor too little.At least for now, Kublai Khan can have some fear.

Kublai Khan looked at Li Qingwei's expression and felt that he was not joking.

Because Boyan has no news at all now, the nearly [-] Mongolian troops under his command are the main force of Kublai Khan, and Boyan is a battle-tested handsome talent, a stone thrown into the water can still cause a little "waves".

But Boyan's departure is like a stone sinking into the sea.This had to make Kublai Khan suspicious.

Kublai Khan asked at this time: "The king doesn't quite understand that His Royal Highness King Wei is the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the eldest son. In the future, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty must be His Royal Highness King Wei. Why should His Royal Highness bow down to the so-called under the command of the 'Emperor of the Tang Dynasty'?"

Li Qingwei was waiting for his words, and when Kublai Khan asked this sentence, his trip was not in vain.

Li Qingwei said: "This king and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty are just guest generals of the alliance, they cannot be regarded as subjects. Besides, the emperor's sister and the emperor"

Speaking of this, Li Qing paused for a moment, and then said as if changing the subject: "All the abilities of this king are received by the 'general'. Although this king has no status as a teacher and apprentice with the general, he does have a relationship between a teacher and an apprentice. .”

"Besides, our Great Song Dynasty is weak now. If we can support a force in the north to contain you and act as a barrier for our Great Song Dynasty, it would not be a bad thing."

After listening to Li Qingwei's words, Kublai Khan frowned.

At this time, Li Qingwei said again: "And this matter is not a bad thing for the prince."

Hearing Li Qingwei's words, Kublai Khan asked, "Why did His Royal Highness King Wei say that?"

Li Qingwei said: "The affairs of the Mongolian Empire have long since been figured out by the 'General', and now the princes of various factions have their own ghosts, oh yes! The death of Wo Kuotai and the position of Empress Dowager Naimazhen are all caused by the General. secretly planning."

Hearing this sentence, Kublai Khan and Huo Dou were even more surprised.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two of them, Li Qingwei continued to gossip: "Before, the Song Dynasty blocked the Han River, and the warships on the Huaihe River were also provided by the Tang Dynasty. They asked us to build the defense line."

At this moment, Huo Dou said: "Since that 'Marshal' was said to be so powerful by His Royal Highness King Wei, then your Great Song Dynasty lost to us in Huaishui before."

At this moment, Li Qingwei let out a long and gloomy sigh.

Kublai Khan asked, "Why is Your Highness sighing?"

Li Qingwei replied: "The defeat in that battle can be regarded as a vote of honor from Song Dynasty to Tang Dynasty."

Kublai Khan asked in surprise: "What is the name certificate?"

Li Qingwei continued to gossip: "The Huai River battle between your army and the Song Dynasty was written by me, because the Tang Dynasty's army is about to rise, and the emperor suspects that my Song Dynasty will take advantage of the Northern Expedition to regain lost ground while the Tang Dynasty is fighting with the main forces of Mongolia. "

"Because the commander-in-chief negotiated with me, I exchanged the lives of the soldiers of the Song army for the trust of the emperor."

Huo Du said: "If it is according to what His Royal Highness King Wei said, Da Song is now powerless to fight back?"

Li Qingwei nodded at this time and said: "Prince Huodu is right. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has gone through this battle, we have no strength for the Northern Expedition. We can only rely on the gunboats on the Jianghuai River to defend Pianan."

Kublai Khan looked at Li Qingwei and said, "Why is your Highness telling us this? Isn't Your Highness afraid that this king will take advantage of the weakness of the Song Dynasty to send troops south?"

After listening to Kublai Khan's words, Li Qingwei smiled wryly.

Li Qingwei said: "Right now, the king and the prince are talking face to face. Just now, the king had the opportunity to kill the fourth prince, but he kept his hand. I don't know if the fourth prince knows the reason?"

Kublai Khan immediately understood what Li Qingwei meant, and he said, "Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!"

Li Qingwei saw that Kublai Khan had "taken the bait", he continued to flicker and said, "That's right, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold. Before, my Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin were each other's lips and teeth, but the gold master has no way and digs his own grave. I believe that the Fourth Prince is not so unreasonable." People who know the general situation.”

"At present, my Great Song Dynasty is unable to make a northern expedition in the short term, so I can only rely on Jianghan's natural moat to protect myself, and part of the main force of the prince led by General Boyan has been wiped out by the prime minister in the Jackal Valley in Guanzhong. Presumably the prince is not equipped to attack the Song Dynasty right now. Or the ability to attack Tang."

Li Qingwei looked around at this time, and then said: "Presumably these are the last main forces of the prince. As long as I wipe out you here, then it will be the real "stirring of the Yellow River rebellion". Bao, or all belong to Datang for other reasons. At that time, Datang’s 20 heavenly army can drive straight in and drive all of you Mongols out of the Central Plains within a few months.”

Kublai Khan caught Li Qingwei's next sentence: "After we Mongols are driven out and the Tang Dynasty has stabilized after a few years, then his next step is to destroy the Song Dynasty. I'm right."

Li Qingwei nodded at this time and said: "Although the Son of Heaven promised that I will be the lord of Jiangnan for generations, the land of Jiangnan is so vast. A city is also a land of Jiangnan, and a state is also a land of Jiangnan."

"And the fertile land of Wuyue is Jiangnan, and the poor Lingnan is also Jiangnan. If the Tang Dynasty stabilizes, I'm afraid I can only be the 'Emperor of the Song Dynasty' in an imperial city in Lin'an."

"Even if the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty will fulfill the agreement and let the king become a minister and pay tribute to ascend the throne of the Song Dynasty, what about the emperor after him? Who can guarantee that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will continue to fulfill this 'promise'? .”

"So I came here today, firstly, to persuade the prince to retreat to preserve his strength, and not to seek death. The strength of the Tang Dynasty cannot be shaken by you and me. Second, this king came to tell the fourth prince the truth. Only I, Da Song Together with Tang and Mengcheng, we will be able to stand against each other and achieve the power of the three parties. Only you and I can protect ourselves."
