The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 162

The will to fight is like dark clouds, it is insignificant at the beginning, but when the clouds thicken, it will rain, and the will to fight will kill people.The 15 troops sent by Zhao Guangyi have been on the border of Chen Bing and Song Qu for some time, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers has also accumulated to the peak.At this time, even if there is a slight disturbance, it is enough to provoke a war between the two countries and ignite an endless war!
Half a month later, the fuse was really lit.

One day, Li Huan was sitting in the imperial study room. On the Longshu table in front of him was a very detailed map of Qu Yue. He stared blankly at the map in front of him, constantly thinking about how to resist Offend the Song army in order to defeat the enemy.For him, repelling the Song army was just the bottom line, and taking the opportunity to capture half of the Song country in one fell swoop was what he wanted in his heart.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" There was another hasty knock on the door, and the trembling voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door again, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the Song Kingdom sent an envoy to see him on important matters. I don't know Your Majesty Are you going to declare him into the palace?"

Li Huan frowned, with a displeased expression on his face, "Zhao Guangyi, this old man, is really defiant. He sent envoys to see him without writing the letter of state in advance. He really thought that Qu Yue was his vassal and I was his. Is it a bureaucrat?"

Seeing that Li Huan was angry again, the little eunuch was so frightened that he stood aside and dared not speak out.He waited for a long time before he heard Li Huan angrily say: "You let me get that messenger to come in, I want to see what Lao Er Zhao sent him here for!"

"Yes!" The little eunuch replied, and hastily turned around to pass on the message to the envoy of the Song Kingdom.

Li Huan sat in the imperial study, looked at the map for a while with a straight face, and then heard steady footsteps outside the door.Then a man's loud voice sounded outside the door, "Zhang Zongquan, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, begged to see Emperor Quyue."

"Come in." Li Huan said loudly, his tone did not have the slightest humility to receive an envoy from the upper kingdom, instead he ordered it as if he was giving orders.As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the imperial study room was gently pushed open, and an elegant and serious middle-aged man walked in.

The middle-aged man walked up to Li Huan, bowed deeply, and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, Zhang Zongquan, the envoy of Song Dynasty."

Li Huan Xunsheng looked up and saw that Zhang Zongquan did not kneel down for him, he couldn't help but annoyed: "Although you are a courtier of the Song Dynasty, but you are in Quyue now, how dare you not kneel when you see Zhen'an?"

Zhang Zongquan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty has always paid attention to the rule of the world by the monarch and his ministers. If you see an official, you don't need to bow down, let alone the king of the country? Besides, I came here on the order of the official of the Song Dynasty. If you kneel You, the king of the country, have you harmed my Great Song Tianwei?"

Li Huan glared at Zhang Zongquan angrily, and it took him a while to suppress the anger in his chest, and said word by word: "Say, why did Zhao Guangyi send you here?"

Zhang Zongquan unhurriedly took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Huan with both hands, "Your Majesty, here are the letters of credence of the officials of the Song Dynasty, you will understand after reading it."

Li Huan took the letter and read it silently: "The officials of the Great Song Dynasty sent a lesson to Vice-Wang Li. In the past, in Chengzhou, white pheasants came to present, descended to Yanhan, and erected copper pillars. As for Li and Tang, they were often inland. At the end of Tang Dynasty How difficult it is, it is not easy to distinguish, today is the holy dynasty, benevolence covers all nations, the cause of peace is also prosperous, and the ceremony of enfeoffment will be repaired. Gu'erjiaozhou is far away at the end of the day, beyond the five uniforms, As for the rest of the limbs, it is like a finger and an ear on the body. Even though one finger has a problem, the sage has no thoughts. It is because of Kaier's stupidity, he was taught by me, and he obeyed. It’s coming. Wusu Juehua, Fang will rectify his army and disciples, stop his gongs and drums, forgive me, and attack me against orders, good or bad, good or bad, will be judged by you!”

"Hmph! How dare Zhao Guangyi do this!" Li Huan said bitterly, his eyes even more angry, and he tore the Chinese book into pieces without any scruples.Immediately, he looked at Zhang Zongquan again, and said word by word: "My surname is Zhang, if I have to be the emperor of Quyue, what can your country of Song do against me?"

Zhang Zongquan did not answer, but asked calmly: "Your Majesty, since you have chosen the second route, when will you send Ding Xuan's mother and son to Tokyo?"

Li Huan said coldly: "How unreasonable are you to ask me to hand over Ding Xuan's mother and son? To tell you the truth, Yang Yun'e is now my concubine and Ding Xuan is my son. You asked me to hand over my wife and children. What a wishful thinking!"

Zhang Zongquan was taken aback for a moment, then turned to say: "Your Majesty, we have an appointment ahead of time. If you insist on not letting Ding Xuan's mother and son go to Tokyo, please take off your dragon robe and give way to Ding Xuan immediately. Return to life. Once the officials are angered, if the investigation is carried out, not only will I lose my life, but your Majesty will also be in danger."

Li Huan laughed back angrily, "Haha, Zhang Zongquan, you really don't know how to live or die! Not only are you arrogant and rude to me, you even dare to threaten me with words. If I don't kill you today, it will be difficult to calm my anger!"

Zhang Zongquan proudly said: "Your Majesty, even if the two countries are at war, if you dare to kill me today, you are undoubtedly declaring war on the Song Dynasty. The officials will definitely send troops to crush your small country!"

Li Huan slammed the table heavily, and shouted angrily: "Come here, pull out this ignorant thing, and put it to death!"

Hearing the sound, a group of imperial guards rushed into the imperial study room, the leader knelt down in front of Li Huan, and said loudly: "Your general obeys!" Then he stood up slowly from the ground, grabbed Zhang Zongquan by the collar and was about to pull him out .

"Let go, I will go by myself!" Zhang Zongquan struggled hard, broke free from the hand of the captain of the imperial army, and then walked out of the imperial study room with a big smile.At this time, his expression did not change, he was calm and calm, not only was he not afraid of death, on the contrary he regarded death as home.

How dare a small envoy be so rampant, Li Huan glared at Zhang Zongquan's back, clenched his fists, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood now, so as to relieve his anger.

The moment Zhang Zongquan was about to step out of the imperial study, a young general walked in from outside the room and passed him by.I saw that this young general was well-proportioned, with a straight nose, thick lips and a wide mouth.Especially the pair of clear phoenix eyes under a pair of thick eyebrows, giving people the impression of majesty and kindness, and the style is domineering, quite regal.

This person glanced at Zhang Zongquan and signaled for the imperial guards escorting him to stop temporarily.Then he walked slowly into the imperial study room, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Huan, and said: "The last general, Li Gongyun, sees His Majesty, may my emperor live long, long live, long live."

Seeing that it was Li Gongyun who came, Li Huan calmed down his anger inexplicably, "It's Zhaoyan, get up. You are not training soldiers in front of the palace, why do you remember my imperial study?"

Li Gongyun stood up slowly, and said: "Your Majesty, it's time for the Imperial Army to take turns again today. Now the war is about to start, and only the last general can come to dispatch in person to be at ease. Who knows that the last general is in the middle of dividing troops and dispatching generals, when he suddenly heard His Majesty's summons , and then came in a hurry.”

Li Huan nodded, "Zhaoyan, thank you for your hard work. In a few days, after my imperial conquest, Hua Lu will be handed over to you. I hope you will not let me down."
