The struggle of the reborn prince

After a one-day break, on the third day, under the mediation of the Xixia envoys, the envoys from the three parties sat together again, but the protagonist of the negotiation was replaced by Song Xia, and the Liao Kingdom lost the position of referee and became a witness and a bystander. Got a place in a corner of the big tent.Book friends upload

The guards of the three parties are all ten steps away from the big tent, and they can only hear the debates from time to time in the tent, but they can't hear them in detail. This kind of work can be described as boring, boring and helpless. Xin Zhao went back and forth Walking around, driving away the severe cold of winter.

At this time, there was a murmur of voices nearby. Xin Zhao looked over there and saw a group of guards following Yeluding. The number was about [-], but they were clearly divided into two parts. , the weapons are exquisite and gorgeously decorated, and although the other team has a large number of people, both armor and weapons are much worse, and they are called around like handymen by that team. Of course, the job of guarding the big tent falls to these people On his body, more than a dozen people on duty gathered together and chatted idly. Hearing the familiar and unfamiliar voices of these people, Xin Zhao felt a little lost, as if he had returned to his childhood days at home in a dream.

"Captain, drink some wine to get rid of the cold!" Just as Xin Zhao was listening to the gossip of those Liao soldiers, Shadui came over and handed her a wine bag.

"Thank you, it's my duty, tell my brothers not to drink too much!" Although the army bans alcohol on a daily basis, the prince is still very considerate, and allows the personnel performing missions in the field to drink less to keep out the cold. Xin Zhao waved his hands, but she When I came back, I found that the soldiers of the Liao Army suddenly fell silent, staring straight at the wine bag in Shadui's hand, and changed their minds again. "Sand pile. Bring me another grain bag of wine!"

Although Shadui didn't understand what he meant, he still obeyed the order and quickly brought two bags of wine, "Brothers, let's have a drink together in the cold!" Xin Zhao shouted to the Liao envoy guard over there.

"This..." All the Liao soldiers looked at one person, that person was obviously their leader, he pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you then, everyone light a fire, and bring the dried meat we brought with you to drink!"

The Khitan people are as good at wine as the Dangxiang people, which may be due to their living environment.Seeing wine is more intimate than anything else, Kanling agreed, cheered and surrounded him, and set up a bonfire.He took out some ice-cold dried meat from the luggage and roasted it on the fire. Before the meat was roasted, he couldn't wait to pass the wine bag to drink.

"General, what a good wine!" The leader took a big gulp, wiped his mouth and praised, and handed the wine bag to Xin Zhao.

"The general should drink less, this is shochu, full of stamina!" Xin Zhao took the wine bag and dipped his lips, and passed the wine bag to the next person.

"The general is from Liao, and he can speak Khitan so well!" The leader said in amazement when Zhao Xin answered in Khitan.

"Hehe, this is Commander Zhao of our Prince Song Yan's Guards. How could he be from Liao?" Shadui answered for Xin Zhao.

"Oh, my brother is in an important position at such a young age, he is really promising!" The leader of the Liao army also felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, how could a guard of a prince of the Song Dynasty choose Liao people!

"Since everyone drinks together, they are brothers, so don't call them generals, don't you know your brother's name?" Xin Zhao asked.

"Our leader is Xiao Chongde, the young city lord of Yuanzhou, who led the tribal army to guard His Highness King Qin to negotiate a peace!" A soldier of the Liao army introduced.

"Yuanzhou Xiao Chongde..." After Zhao Xin heard this, his hands trembled, and the wine bag almost fell to the ground.

"Oh, has Commander Zhao ever been to Yuanzhou?" Xiao Chongde cut off a piece of roasted meat with a knife and handed it to Zhao Daodao.

"No. I just heard about it!" Zhao Xin also felt that he had lost his composure, and immediately calmed down, "Brother Xiao's short knife is so beautiful, can you lend me a look!" Seeing Xiao Chongde's meat-cutting short knife, her heart trembled again, so Tsukuru said calmly.

"Why not?" Xiao Chongde rubbed the knife against the lapel of his clothes.Reverse the hilt and hand it to Xin Zhao.

"This knife is really exquisite, isn't brother Xiao such a knife very common in Daliao?" Xin Zhao played with it for a while.Handed back the knife.

"Brother Zhao, you are wrong. My father specially invited craftsmen from Beijing to forge this saber. A total of five sabers were made and distributed to us brothers and sisters. Look, there is our family emblem on it!" Xiao Chongde He waved his hand, and pointed to the engraved pattern on the handle to Xin Zhao.

"My king is being bullied in the tent, but you slaves are drinking with the Song people..." Just as everyone was drinking happily, Ye Lvding suddenly came out of the tent, cursed and beat Xiao Chongde with a whip .

"My lord, don't be angry, we are just drinking to drive away the cold, we have no other intention!" Xiao Chongde almost fell down after being whipped, but he didn't dare to resist, turned over and knelt down to explain.

"Song people don't have a good thing, get out!" Ye Lvding glared at Zhao Xin and the others, turned and left, obviously suffocated in front of Zhao Tong again, and took his anger out on his subordinates.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, I'll see you later!" For some reason, Xiao Chongde had a good impression of the Song general he just met, and smiled apologetically at him while covering his face.

"Brother Xiao, stop talking, come back quickly!" Xin Zhao took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Chongde's hand, and said, he didn't sit down sadly until he got on his horse and left, picked up the wine bag and took a deep breath. . .

. . . . . . .

"Xin Zhao, do you have something on your mind?" Zhao Tang put away the knife in his hand and said, these days he is teaching Zhao Xin the knife skills every day, so that she can master the newly acquired Miao knife as soon as possible. The essentials, the position of holding a knife, the use of fighting, and the key points of chopping were taught little by little, but today I found that Zhao Xin was not very interested.

"Second Master, no, I'm just a little irritable!" Xin Zhao also put away the knife, bowing his head and said.

"Not feeling well?" Zhao Tama reached out and touched Zhao Xin's forehead and asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine!" Xin Zhao shook his head, drooping his head.

"Then this is the end of today's practice!" Zhao Tun said seeing Zhao Xin's distraught look.

"Zhao Xin, did you meet someone today?" The two returned to the house, Zhao Xin waited for the prince to change his clothes, served tea, sat down next to him and carefully wiped the knife that the prince gave her, Zhao Tong thought This morning, Xin Zhao escorted him to negotiate. There was nothing to do, and he came back like this, he drank his saliva and asked.

"Second Master, I saw people from Liao Kingdom today, and suddenly... I remembered some old things." Xin Zhao said with his head down.

"Oh, seeing them, do you think of your family members!" Zhao Tong said.

"Well, I remember when I was a child, every time my father went out, there were many soldiers who were dressed like them, and I wondered if the family members were still alive." Xin Zhao said, with tears in his eyes.

"You can escape, and so can the family members. They must still be alive, and there will be a day of reunion!" Zhao Tong comforted Zhao Xin.

"Second Lord, is the Great Song Dynasty going to war with the Liao Kingdom? Are we going to conquer the Liao Kingdom after the peace talks are over?" Zhao Xin asked, leaning on the prince's shoulder.

"Song and Liao are old enemies. The two sides have been entangled for a hundred years. Now that the Jurchen is rising and the Liao Kingdom is facing difficulties, some people in the DPRK instigate the Holy Master to take advantage of the opportunity to take a share of the pie for their own purposes!" Zhao Tang did not answer directly, and patted gently. Zhao Dao said, "From a tactical point of view, it is an opportune time to join forces with Jin and defeat Liao. After Song captured the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, it could change the situation that the Central Plains had no danger to defend for a hundred years and had to rely on a large army for passive defense. But from a strategic point of view, this is a stupid move. Influenced by Hanyi, Khitan is no longer a nomadic people who drink blood. They have realized the joint governance of the North and the South. It is still safe and sound. But the Kingdom of Jin has just been enlightened, how can it understand etiquette, it is impossible for a wolf that has eaten meat to turn into a vegetarian sheep, and the powerful force, coupled with the increasingly ferocious and tyrannical nature, is really It's too dangerous."

"Song and Jin are separated by thousands of miles, and they don't have any hatred, so don't they coexist peacefully?" Zhao Xin asked.

"No, the coming era will be an era of the weak and the strong, and there are only annexation and anti-annexation, suppression and anti-suppression between countries. Even the friendship between Song and Liao was formed after the Chanyuan War. Alliance. If you want the Kingdom of Jin to let go of such a delicious piece of fat just because the Song Dynasty has no old hatred with it, that is a dream. Xixia will also wait for an opportunity to get a share of the pie, and that will be the time when there will be unrighteous wars in the spring and autumn, when the princes will fight each other, and the lords will compete to carve up the Central Plains again!" Zhao Tong said while stroking Zhao Xin's beautiful hair.

"Then since Liao can't beat Jin now, and Song Dynasty doesn't want to be neighbors with Jin, what should we do?" Zhao Xin curled up in the prince's arms meekly, and asked with his face up.

"There is only one way, to help Liao destroy Jin, and gather the elites of the two countries to strangle Jin, the world-destroying danger, to death in its cradle!" Zhao Tong said.

"Then the second master wants to send troops to help Liao?" Xin Zhao asked again after being refreshed.

"If it was possible five years ago, now Jurchen has established a country and captured half of the country of Liao, and the sun is in the sky, and the Liao country is already in the west. At this time, even if the Song Dynasty is willing to unite Liao to resist Jin, it will be too late. The demise of the Liao Kingdom is only a matter of time. And the only thing I can mobilize and be loyal to me is the Zhongyong Army, a pro-military force of less than [-], and now it is impossible to complete such a difficult task in terms of quantity, quality, spirit, and material preparation Besides, now that the emperor is going to raise the whole country's army to attack Liao, if I help Liao, I will become a chaotic official and thief, and everyone will be punished. What I can do is to get Yanyun at all costs and build a northern line of defense for Prepare for the future battle!" Zhao Tong said with a heavy heart.

"Then the purpose of Erye's Western Expedition is to destroy Xixia's vitality and prevent it from harassing the Song Dynasty in the next big war. In recent days, he deliberately angered Liao's Xia aid envoy during the peace talks in order to find someone who will fight Liao in the future. Excuse?" Xin Zhao asked again.
