Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 392 For the sake of beauty
After hearing this, Zhao Mu sighed helplessly.

Zhao Mu said: "It seems that this battle must be fought. Qinglu, I am afraid that I will fail you in one thing."

Li Qinglu lowered her brows and said helplessly: "Have you failed me enough? You took my body, but you married another woman. You are a philandering bastard! Hmph!"

Zhao Mu said awkwardly: "Those are just small things, but this matter is a big deal. If the Xixia Kingdom and the Song Dynasty really go to war, then the war will no longer be under my control. When the time comes, my father will forget it. If he wants to surrender, the treatment will be very different. I can protect him as a hereditary prince, but it will be extremely difficult to seal the territory. At least I won't let him stay in the Hexi Corridor. ”

At this time, Li Qiushui's voice came: "It doesn't matter. As long as my son can keep your stupid old brother and his family safe. As for whether to seal the border or not, it doesn't matter."

Li Qinglu asked: "Grandma! You are here! What did the father say?"

Li Qiushui flew to the curtain. She opened the curtain and looked at the two people wrapped in antelope wool blankets. She said: "What else can I say? Didn't I already say it just now?"

Li Qinglu pouted and said, "You know that's not what I'm talking about!"

Li Qiushui saw his granddaughter's aggrieved face and smiled: "I know what you are thinking, girl. But what he said about you does not count. You and Xiao Mu'er are in love, even if the king of heaven and I oppose it, it is useless. It’s just that your majestic princess of Daxia married the prince of Song Dynasty as a concubine. Is this good or bad?”

Li Qinglu asked: "What about what you want, grandma?"

Li Qiushui replied: "It's very simple, let Xiao Mu'er take you away. Then we lied and claimed that he had robbed you."

Zhao Mu also sneered and said: "Humph, I really can't say whose crisis is it. But the Liao Kingdom just happened to be defeated. I think the several countries that gathered their forces will not take action so quickly."

Zhao Mu couldn't help but frown and said: "If this happens, I'm afraid it will trigger an all-out war between Xixia and Song Dynasty."

Zhao Mu was really sighing now. Master Bo Wu Xingyun got him the defense map of the Xixia Pass, which made the entire Xixia Kingdom's military defense useless. Moreover, the concubine of Xixia Kingdom still stood on her side and revealed all the situation of Xixia Kingdom. Xixia is about to be destroyed.

Li Qiushui replied: "That's right. Just when you two were in love with me, your stupid brother has made up his mind to unite with the Liao Dynasty, and Tibet and Tibet are ready to attack the Song Dynasty at any time. And he has also made an agreement with the neighboring country Gaochang We have signed a peace treaty. Goryeo also plans to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for the opportunity. Don't say that my wife doesn't feel sorry for you. This time you, the Song Dynasty, will face the biggest crisis since the founding of the country. "

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "I will convince your Majesty to sell them all the materials needed by the Xixia Kingdom."

Li Qiushui replied: "That's not bad. Now they have just made an alliance to jointly attack the Song Dynasty. If they want to jointly attack, it will always take some time to prepare food, grass, troops and horses. Besides, Daxia is located in the northwest, although there are The Hetao Plain is rich in water and fertile soil, but it is also far away from the coast and there is a shortage of salt and food. It is expected that in the future, a large amount of food will be purchased from the market in Song Dynasty. "Xiao Mu'er, you can start doing something about this."

"Ah?" Li Qiu Shui didn't quite believe his ears. Li Qiu Shui said, "You brat, did you not hear clearly what my mother just said?"

Zhao Mu said: "My child has naturally heard your fairy voice clearly. It's just that this time my child plans to convince the Xixia Kingdom to lose. Let all the barbarians know the consequences of resisting the Celestial Empire."

Seeing Li Qinglu's worried look, Zhao Mu hugged her and said, "Don't worry. I will personally lead the army in the future expedition to Xixia, and I will definitely ask our soldiers to do no harm to the people of Xixia." Zhao Mu then looked around and said: " It's a pity that my father has to move out of this magnificent Xixia Palace."

Li Qiushui asked: "It would be good to go to the Central Plains. I have lived in Daxia Kingdom for decades and I am tired of it. It would be good to change to a new place."

Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "That's not true. If Master's wife and Qinglu still want to live here, they can live here. Master's wife, you are more than just your eldest brother's son. You can live with your younger son as much as possible. That's it. Before I When I was hiding in the Xixia Palace with my uncle, I was very fond of this place. I have already told your majesty that after Xixia is conquered, I will entrust this Lingzhou City together with Fengxiang and other places. Let’s live together in the palace and be a happy prince.”

Li Qiu Shui poked Zhao Mu's forehead with his finger and said, "Hey! You kid has taken over the magpie's nest."

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Who made Xixia Kingdom such a good place? I can only ask my good brother to make room for me."

Li Qinglu rolled her eyes at Zhao Mu, and then said, "You are a good and 'filial' son-in-law!"

Zhao Mu said: "Of course, who made my father-in-law, Lao Taishan, so ignorant of current affairs? If he is willing to defect to our Song Dynasty, he will still be the hereditary and irreplaceable King of Xixia. But Qinglu, Master Wife, don't worry . I will try my best to help my father-in-law. Although it is impossible to continue to break up the territory in the Hexi Corridor, it is possible in other places."

"If my father-in-law is willing, he can either go to the capital and become a hereditary idle prince like the Qian family of Wuyue or the Chai family of later Zhou Dynasty, or he can continue to split the land and seal the territory. The territories of Tubo and Liao are large enough. For To win over the people of Dali, I have promised that after the Tubo tribes are pacified in the future, I will entrust some of them to the Shanchanhou Gao clan of Dali, and give them the title of king and founding of the country. I have also promised to give Murong Murong of Xianbei the bitter cold land in northern Liaoning. A family.”

"If my father-in-law needs it, he can choose some of the Tubo tribes and the land of the Liao Kingdom to inherit the Xixia Ancestral Temple several times. But it is just a change of the rules. He can only be called the king in the future, not the emperor. This Xixia It is very inconvenient to use the Chinese language, so we will continue to restore the Chinese language and promote the sinicization of the Dangxiang people. "

After hearing this, Li Qinglu happily kissed Zhao Mu on the cheek.

Li Qinglu said: "My grandmother and I really did not misjudge the person. My husband-in-law dealt with it very thoughtfully. I am afraid that only my father has such treatment."

Zhao Mu pinched Li Qinglu's little nose and said, "Yes. This is all because of my Qinglu and my wife's face. If the eldest brother is not my wife's own son, he will be the same in my eyes." Zhao Mu was embarrassed to continue.

Li Qiushui smiled and added: "I'm afraid they are barbarians, right?"

Zhao Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, you know me well, my wife!"

Li Qiushui nodded, and then said: "That's right! It's not too late for you to take action now."

"Do it? Why do you do it?" Zhao Mu asked.
