Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 424 "Surprise" prepared for the Hu people

Outside Prince Qi's Mansion, Yelu Yanxiu got into his car.

Then he ordered: "Let's go. We will set off back to Nanjing immediately."

Following Yelu Yanxiu's order, the Liao envoy's car drove slowly north.

At this time, a warrior from the Shan Army asked in Khitan outside: "Looking at His Highness's expression just now, His Highness doesn't really like that Nanman!"

Yelu Yanxiu took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. She wiped the tears on her face, and then replied in Khitan: "Of course not. I am the princess of Daliao. Since I have received great favor from my country, I, the people of Daliao, Then, everything I do must be based on the interests of Daliao. How can personal emotions be compared with national affairs? If I can get the greatest benefit for Daliao through marriage, let alone marry King Qi. . Even if I marry a beggar, it’s okay for me.”

The warrior outside the car said angrily: "It's a pity that this little Nanbarbarian is so ignorant of praise! Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most beautiful woman in my Daliao clan. Even the emperor of their Song Dynasty looked at her more. Eyes. It’s so disgusting that he is so dismissive!”

At this time, the driver arrived at the inn where Li Qinglu's master and servant had stayed. Yelu Yanxiu opened the curtain and looked at the inn. Then he sighed and said, "The beauty trap is not something that can be used casually. As a prince, he also You can have as much power as you want with a beautiful woman. She can't be moved by just her beauty. Originally, I wanted to slowly cultivate feelings and impress her sincerely, but I didn't expect this boy to be interested in our Daliao. His prejudice is so deep. He hates you as soon as he meets you. Even if I, the most beautiful woman in the Liao Dynasty, Queen Mother Xiao, are alive, I will not be able to seduce him."

The warrior sighed and said: "Right now, this kid doesn't eat anything, neither soft nor hard. Whether it's sending beauties, sending gold and silver treasures, or even using the Song officials we bribed, we impeached him just like Di Qing did to the Yang family generals. No way. He is a prince, rich in gold and silver, and has a lot of women. He has the emperor's favor, and the officials can't impeach him. Basically, all the methods we can use are ineffective against him. Brother Xiao Ye once said that he is terrible. If he really tries to force us, it will be very difficult for us to resist. "

Yelu Yanxiu leaned on her arm and replied: "There is no way around this. The only thing that can be done now is to use the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in the harem. At least these two old women don't like King Qi. If You can use them to accuse King Qi of treason and seize the throne. Or you can use them directly to force King Qi to rebel, and the rest will be much easier. "

Yelu Yanxiu asked the warrior just now: "Is there any news from King Duan and Taiwei Wang?"

The Khitan warrior smiled and said: "Haha, King Duan, Taiwei Wang, and the eldest princess really like the gifts we sent. Our insider lurking in the Taiwei's mansion also received good news. That is She overheard the eldest princess and Taiwei Wang saying that now that the emperor has no heir, in order to prevent King Qi from seizing the throne, they have the idea of ​​​​making King Duan his heir. "

Yelu Yanxiu smiled and said: "Haha, we have placed some spies everywhere in Bianjing City over the years. I didn't expect that this most inconspicuous place would give us such a big surprise. We can make good use of this. Yes If I can use this contradiction to get rid of Prince Qi with the help of the Empress Dowager, even if I only limit his power, then I will have no worries about that one. Prince Duan, if he really wants to be emperor, we can help him. This person is frivolous and lustful, and only cares about painting, calligraphy and having fun. If the Southern Song Dynasty falls into the hands of this person, we will destroy it. "

However, the princess of Zhao Kingdom did not expect that before the Song Dynasty was trampled by iron hoofs, their Liao Kingdom was trampled first.

In the original timeline, the proud Yelu Yanxiu became a prisoner of the Jin people during the Battle of Shangjing. Although it was not as humiliating as the Song Dynasty clan daughter in Jingkang's Shame, she was not much better either. Because of her beautiful appearance and charm, she eventually died tragically in the Jinren's Huanyiyuan.

After Yelu Yanxiu left, Zhao Mu ushered in a brief period of peace.

During this time, Concubine Chai and Zhao Ji were preparing for Zhao Mu's marriage. A'Zhu was accompanying Li Qinglu at the inn. Li Qinglu likes the culture of the Central Plains and Jiangnan very much. During this period, under A'Zhu's guidance, her accent and behavior were exactly the same as Wang Yuyan's. Li Qinglu did not bother Zhao Mu during this period. She planned to scare Zhao Mu after she had thoroughly learned it perfectly.

Zhao Mu used this short free time to formulate a route and operational concept for the blitz against Xixia. And personally went to the Ministry of War warehouse to inspect.

His tactical thinking this time was exactly the same as that of the failed art student, which was to put cavalry maneuver first.

He planned to place the main infantry force of the Song Army in the front, attract the enemy's main force, and then use the cavalry to go deep, and then harass their logistics supplies. In the end, the two armies worked together to outflank.

On the front of the battlefield, Zhao Mu also prepared a big surprise for the Xixia people.

The name of this big surprise is "Iron Buddha". Although there are suspicions of plagiarism, Zhao Mu doesn't care. Whoever uses this thing first will get it.

Zhao Mu has seen the material reserves reported by the Ministry of War, and now more than 5,000 sets of Iron Buddha armor have been built. And they have all been rigorously tested, with no corners cut at all. It's just that the reserves of war horses suitable for the Iron Buddha are not very large. Only 6,000 war horses meet the standards of the Iron Buddha. In this way, only two thousand heavy armored cavalry can be gathered at most. But this is enough for Zhao Mu.

Although Zhao Mu, the Minister of War, does not have any actual power now, he can kill anyone he wants with just one sentence.

This is also the reason why Zhezong gave him the title of Grand Master, but did not take away the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. Zhao Mu personally supervised the production of military supplies and weapons. These civil servants don't dare to play tricks.

As for the officials of the Ministry of War, Zhao Mu also gave them a reassurance in private. Spend a tael of silver and get a tael of silver in return, and everyone can get some profit from it. This is no problem. But whoever dares to cut corners and leak information. Although Zhao Mu could not kill the nine tribes, he could throw them and their sons into slavery in Lingnan, and send all their female relatives to Jiaofangsi as prostitutes.

Faced with Zhao Mu's hard and soft tactics, everyone in the Ministry of War felt as if they were beaten to death. We pay close attention to the quality of weapons and equipment. It is even required that every weapon and armor must be engraved with the name of the caster, so that if quality problems arise in the future, the crime can be punished as quickly as possible.

Although the Song Dynasty did not kill civil servants, it did not say that craftsmen without grades could not be killed. Naturally, the craftsmen did not dare to use their own nine clans to challenge the professionalism of their craftsmanship.

That night, Zhao Mu was still carefully calculating the consumption of supplies and formulating a battle plan.

There was a knock on the door.
