Compete for the Song Dynasty

In the center of the lake in the imperial garden, above this exquisite painting boat, the Wangjing Pavilion on the second floor is transparent on all sides, and there are only two people on it: Queen Liang Luoyao of Xixia and Wang Pang sitting calmly.

Liang Luoyao induced him in every possible way, but Wang Pang still had the same attitude towards Li Liangzuo, no matter what you said, I will not follow the pole.

Wang Pang's tone and expression made Liang Luoyao gasp. It seems that this Wang Pang is not soft-hearted. Liang Luoyao put away her pitiful and delicate expression and said bluntly: "Young Master Wang, you are just an old man in the Song Dynasty. Minister of the fourth rank, but if you are willing to help me take charge of Xixia, I will deal with the old grievances between you and Liang Yi as Prime Minister."

In Wang Pang's heart, if it was just a comparison between Li Liangzuo and Liang Luoyao, Wang Pang would be more inclined to Li Liangzuo. He despised Liang Luoyao's petty actions from the bottom of his heart. Just die faster.

Wang Bang sneered: "It seems that the queen supports the emperor's personal conquest?" [

Liang Luoyao thought that Wang Pang was enlightened, and said with a smile: "Of course I support it. Doesn't Wang Shilang think this is a good 'opportunity'?" She deliberately emphasized the word "opportunity".This can be understood as an opportunity to send troops to join forces. Of course, if Wang Pang is smart enough, he will naturally understand that the Xingqing mansion will be empty after Li Liangzuo's personal conquest.

Wang Pang laughed, Liang Luoyao, who do you think I am Wang Pang. "The empress is indeed a smart person. If she takes this opportunity to send Xixia to Song State, not only can she return to Song State to teach her children with peace of mind, but she can also keep herself safe."

Liang Luoyao pointed to the side of the king, her face turned pale with anger, and her whole body trembled slightly.Could it be that my chance is to give Xixia to Song Guo?Is that what I mean after talking about it for a long time?This king is simply a rotten lump that will not eat.She held back for a long time and said: "You step back."

Wang Pang thanked Liang Luoyao, turned around and retreated to the first floor of the painting boat, standing on the bow of the painting boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery, when the painting boat docked, he strode away from the imperial garden without looking back, leaving only Liang Luoyao sitting on the second floor of the painting boat watching him The back is in a daze.

Wang Pang returned to the mansion and ordered Zhang Ping to disguise himself as a Xixia citizen and go to Wusu; he wrote another letter and asked Zhe Kejun to send it to Manbaa Mansion.After the resettlement was completed and the two returned, Wang Pang told Wu Su to pay attention to Yi Weisi's instructions, and to go to Man Chang at critical moments, as long as he listened to his words to ensure Wu Su's success in the future.After listening to Wang Pang's order, Wu Su took the silver and was very grateful.

Zhe Kejun came back from his life, and asked Wang Pang what to do next with Zhang Ping, Wang Pang said with a smile: "To escape the summer heat in Xixia!"

Three days later, Li Liangzuo, the emperor of Xixia, personally led the team to fight against Jiao Siluo, and the news quickly spread to Song State.Hearing this, Prince Zhao Shu hurriedly summoned his confidants to discuss, and he decided to ask the imperial court to attack Xixia while Xixia sent troops to fight against the emptiness of the country.

Zhao Shu's memorial was presented to the court, but as soon as something happened to the court of the Song Dynasty, it immediately became a wrangling meeting among civil servants.The general Zhong Er was the first to object. He felt that the fact that Xixia sent troops was unknown, and the border had just been peaceful.

Zhao Shu looked at Han Qi, at the beginning Han Qi was clamoring to fight Xi Xia, but now that the opportunity has come, isn't Han Qi on his side?As Prime Minister Han Qi, he must be convincing.

After all, Han Qi has been the prime minister for many years. It is true that he has selfish intentions to keep the position of prime minister, but after all, he is the elder of the two dynasties, and more often he will consider it from the perspective of the national interests of the Song Dynasty.What Han Qi said was not in the prince's mind. He said: "Xixia attacked Jiaosiluo. Both countries are subjects of the Song Dynasty. Instead of fighting Xixia, it is better to help Jiaosiluo resist Xixia."

After the two quarreled, Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang spoke. The old man stroked a few sparse beards and said: "We will not help anyone. Xixia and Jiaosiluo are mutual checks and balances. No matter who strengthens the border, it will benefit our country." Besides, if Xixia is attacked, Song State will be caught between Jiao Siluo and Liao State, which may not be a good thing for our country."

Renzong nodded this time. Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang spoke to his own thoughts. He comforted the ministers and said: "Just watch the small disputes in neighboring countries. What's more, there are envoys in our country who are still in Xia. Don't go back on your word." Renzong Say goodbye to court.

Prince Zhao Shu returned to the mansion with an inexplicable evil fire in his heart. He kicked the chair and threw the cup, but he couldn't relieve the depression in his heart. The king was next to the king again.Why did Renzong pay more attention to this king than to himself, the prince?Protecting Di Qing, burning the boats, beating the courtiers, and the king who refuses to be soft and hard will sooner or later be a serious problem for his confidantes, you boy, wait, until one day I decide the country, I will definitely make you look good.

Being far away from the king of Xixia, he didn't know that the prince was getting more and more resentful because Renzong protected him.He arranged for Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping to go to the streets every day to inquire about some news, and Wang Pang would read and write in the mansion, or meet people from the Song Dynasty in Xixia, and after chatting, they would go to Fan Han College and recite poems every day. Chess is not easy.

Wang Pang spent the summer in Xingqing Mansion leisurely. Half a month later, Li Liangzuo's troops arrived in Weizhou. Manbaa, the pioneer who pioneered the way, suddenly stopped and ordered to build a huge castle next to Weizhou.

The news quickly spread back to Xingqing Mansion, Zhang Ping came back from the street that day, and opened the door to see Wang Bangzheng and Zhe Kejun playing chess and chatting while shaking their fans.He just came back from the outside, and he was covered in sweat every time he moved in the midsummer of July.Zhang Ping drank a few sips of white water while wiping his sweat. Feeling that the heat was a little better, he squatted next to Wang and in front of Zhe Kejun's chessboard and said with a smile: "Brother Zhe, what did you do to Man that day?" What letter did General Baa send?"

Zhe Kejun looked at the chessboard and asked, "What? Is there any news ahead?"

Zhang Ping pulled a low stool and sat down, took a big cattail fan and flapped it, he put down his own fan next to him, this one was flat-shouldered, big-waisted, and the wind whizzed every time he fanned it.

Zhang Ping was talking generally, while laughing, his voice was high-pitched and hearty: "Haha, I heard that the emperor of Xixia, General Manbaa, has not recruited, and the troops suddenly stopped. There is no war yet. First, build a big castle. It is said that the front is far away. It's still a few hundred miles away. If you are in a hurry, the Emperor Xixia will be the vanguard." [

Zhe Kejun picked up a pawn, looked around and didn't know where to put it, he put down the pawn and said: "Wang Shilang, no matter how you move in this game, you will lose?"

With the winning ticket in his hands, Wang Pang pointed to Zhe Kejun's back and said, "If you have defended the chess here, you might not be completely defeated."

Zhang Ping was a little anxious: "Wang Shilang, Brother Zhe, did you hear what I said?"

Zhe Kejun looked at Wang Pang, who was admiring his good game of chess, then he looked at Zhang Ping, and patted Zhang Ping on the shoulder: "Did you hear what the minister told me?"

Zhang Ping was confused by Zhe Kejun's words, he shook his head, Wang Pang and Zhe Kejun laughed together seeing his embarrassment.Seeing that Manbaa really chose the place to retreat to prepare for defense in advance according to what he said, Wang Pang was very proud.

Zhang Ping has already cast his eyes on the five bodies that Wang Pang admires, and now he seems to understand a little bit, as if what they said has something to do with what he asked, so he hurriedly asked for advice: "Wang Shilang, please tell me quickly, Xixia is attacking horned servants." What do you think about Luo? Is Li Liangzuo sure to lose this time?"

Don't look at Wang Pang's reluctance to tell Liang Luoyao, Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping also matter, he said with a smile: "Jiaosi Luo is brave and resourceful, with 70 soldiers, Li Liangzuo only brought [-] troops this time." The army is incomparable in strength; Jiaosiluo's subordinates are all elite Tubo troops and those who surrendered to Xixia and returned to Tufan. The right time, the right place, and the right people, Li Liangzuo traveled a long distance; this expedition has only thrills and surprises."

Zhang Ping groaned, and Zhe Kejun followed Wang's words and asked, "I knew that Xixia never won a battle with Jiao Siluo! Haha"

Zhang Ping's eyes flashed: "Wang Shilang, Brother Zhe, don't patronize playing chess, but also tell me about it."

Wang Pang said while playing chess: "When Li Yuanhao was in power, he attacked several times and was defeated by Jiao Siluo's tricks. One of them was the most funny."

Zhang Ping heard Wang Pang start to talk, and hurriedly moved to Wang Pang's side, flicking his fan as if to please.Wang Pang laughed and said, "That time Yuan Hao led the army to conquer Hehuang. The Xixia army was brave and good at fighting, and the morale was high just after arriving in Hehuang. Therefore, Jiao Siluo ordered to stick to Qingtang and not to fight the enemy. To drag down the Xixia army. In addition, he sent people to find out the reality of the Xixia army, and learned that when the Xixia army crossed the Zongge River (Huangshui), they planted flags to indicate that the water was shallow. Guess what Jiao Siluo did?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Ping said, "If it were me, hmph, oh, I would pull out all the flags in the water."

Hearing what Zhang Ping said, Zhe Kejun asked back: "Then if the Xixia army sees that there is no flag, they simply fight to the death and survive, this battle will be difficult to fight."

Zhang Ping patted Zhe Kejun: "Brother Zhe, listen to what Wang Shilang has to say."

Seeing Zhang Ping's eagerness, Wang Pang said with a smile: "At that time, Jiaosiluo secretly sent someone to move the flag to the deepest part of the Zongge River. The Tubo army rushed to the exhausted Xixia army. The Xixia army immediately scattered and fled back in a hurry. In the end, they all crossed the river according to the place where the flag was placed. The water ghost in the river!"

Zhang Ping laughed loudly and said, "It's so fun!" Zhe Kejun hurriedly signaled: "Be quiet, we are in Xixia!"

Zhang Ping hurriedly shut up, stood up, went to the door to look, turned around privately and whispered back: "My lord knows things like a god, let's wait for the good news of Xixia's defeat." After speaking, he laughed.

Counting the days, Wang Pang said: "In two or three days, there will probably be news from the front line. You two should inquire more. The time for Wu Su to make meritorious service is coming soon!"

Wang Pang has already seen that: the disadvantage of this trip to Xixia is that there is no one of his own in the court, and the news from the upper echelon is too slow.Li Liangzuo is young and impulsive, and he can't take advantage of the front line; now the rear is also very weak.Liang Luoyao's painting boat was already ready to move.If she dared to act recklessly, Wu Su should show her prominence in front of Li Liangzuo and become the No. 1 king in the Western Xia Dynasty.
