Compete for the Song Dynasty

Wanyan impeached Libo to look at his father. The old chief had been a soldier all his life, and now he is nearly half a hundred years old. Although he is still majestic, the years have left traces on his father Wanyan Wugunai's face and beard.Thinking back on how he felt when he became a father for the first time, he understood his father the chief very well. If something happened to his own brother Wanyan Xiezhe, his father would be very sad.

Xie Libo said to his father word by word: "Our Wanyan tribe is neither from the Song Dynasty, nor will we tolerate the invasion of the Khitan people. If Yelu Hongxiao really instigated Yelu Zongyuan to rebel, then he Not only will it harm his father, but it will also harm my own brother. Therefore, the boy is willing to urge his brother to come back and help his father."

The old chief looked at his second son Wanyan Libo, he had always liked this child in his heart, and this time he came back, he felt that this child was more and more calm: "Okay, this matter is up to you, as for what you said Going to Shangjing to reconcile with the king, since you have agreed to do it!" Hearing what his father said, Wanyan impeached Libo very happy.

The father and son drank and chatted freely. Wanyan impeached the bowl and drank the wine from his hometown, and ate the long-lost hometown food, feeling very comfortable.

Wanyan Xiezhe was delighted when he received the news that his younger brother had returned to the tribe. He hurriedly rode back to the tribe, and the two brothers hugged each other when they met their relatives.The two met their father hand in hand, and the chief's face was a little gloomy when he saw Wanyan Xie came back.With embarrassment on Wanyan's face, Libo pulled his elder brother and said, "Brother, let's have a few drinks at my place."

The chief Wanyan Wugu knew that the second son wanted to persuade the eldest son, and he did not stop him, so they left hand in hand.As soon as he got out of the chief's wooden house, his elder brother Wanyan Xie said: "Brother, you are back, I am worried about something and no one can tell."

Xie Libo chuckled: "Brother, see what you said, am I not coming back now? Let me tell you good news, you already have a nephew."

Wanyan's eyes widened, and the expression of joy was beyond words: "Really! Why didn't brother bring his wife and my little nephew back this time? How long will you stay this time?"

The two of them said that they had come to the room of Libo: "Brother, don't ask me in a hurry, let me tell you how you got under Yelu Zongyuan's command, and it seems that father is not very happy."

In this small room in Xilibo, there are all kinds of furniture, just like before he went to the Song Dynasty, all the decorations have not been moved. The two brothers sat down in front of the table, which had been placed long ago. Wine and dishes.Xie Libo personally poured wine for his brother Wanyan Xiezhe: "If brother is not in a hurry today, let's drink a few more glasses."

Wanyan impeacher wanted to talk to his brother a long time ago. He told his father about his thoughts, but his father didn't support him at all, and he was also depressed for a while: "No hurry, I asked for leave today just to come over. Accompany brother."

Hearing what his elder brother said, Xie Libo was relieved: "Brother is a famous person now, everyone in our clan has heard that my brother has become a high-ranking official with the Khitan people, but I don't know what kind of job my brother is doing."

The two brothers raised their glasses and took a sip of wine. Wanyan Xie said, "Brother, don't worry, I was just about to tell you about this. Brother, do you know about Bo Haijun?"

Xie Libo saw that his elder brother didn't seem to want to hide it from himself. It seems that there must be something to gain today. Their tribe is close to Goryeo. Of course, Xie Libo knows Bo Haijun: "Brother, is this still a test for me? The main force. There are also thousands of Bohai Navy in the Nanjing area. The imperial court signs the Bohai Dingnan to join the army every year, known as the "Bohai Capital". Who doesn't know the reputation of three people in Bohai as a tiger."

Wanyan impeacher slapped his thigh and said: "This matter has to start with the Bohai Navy. My brother has a good friend in the Bohai Navy. The command of the Bohai Navy is strictly controlled by the emperor. It is said that no one dares to offend, but just Someone dared to touch Bo Haijun. Some time ago, Bo Haijun and Yelu Zongyuan's troops had a conflict because of a trivial matter, and my friend was injured during the fight. I happened to pass by and saw him, so I rescued him."

Wanyan impeached Libo to listen: "Then how did brother come to be under Yelu Zongyuan's command?"

"Hey, don't listen to me in a hurry. I saved the man at that time, but Yelu Zongyuan's army happened to be led by Yelu Hongxiao. They captured your brother me because of the large number of people. They took me to Yelu Hongxiao’s place, I never thought that after I gave my name, Yelu Hongxiao not only didn’t kill me, but also treated me with courtesy.”

Wanyan impeacher said, recalling the scene at that time: "At that time, I also wondered, but Yelu Hongxiao insisted on making friends with me, and kept saying that the world in the future will be the world of Wanyan's family."

Xie Libo was also puzzled when he heard that, Wanyan Xie continued: "I said at that time, you can kill if you want to, why bother to humiliate me. Then Yelu Hongxiao actually smiled and said that as long as I can be of one mind with him, He will definitely persuade his father to take over the country of Liao, so that my people can be included in the household registration of Liao, and he will also bestow the nobles of Liao."

He Libo sighed and said, "Brother, you will trust him?"

Wanyan impeacher shook his head: "I didn't believe him, but what he said was very true. Later, he gave me to the Liao State Marshal Yelu Zongyuan, who was his father Yelu Zongyuan. I sealed the command of a martial arts soldier."

Wanyan Xie said and took a sip of wine, his brows were slightly frowned, no joy could be seen on his face, Xie Libo asked: "Brother, Yelu Zongyuan wanted to rebel, it seems that It's true." He said as he took out the family letter and handed it to Wanyan Xiezhe.

Wanyan impeacher took the letter and looked at it, his brows frowned even tighter: "Brother, I didn't write this letter! I only said that something happened at home, and I didn't tell you about Yelu Zongyuan's rebellion. It seems that this It's not a secret, and you and I are extremely disadvantaged."

Xie Libo pondered and said: "It seems that what Ruo said is correct."

Wanyan impeached heard Libo say that if Ruo was his friend in the Song Dynasty, he asked, "Who is Ruo, does it have anything to do with this matter?"

Xie Libo stopped his brother's question: "I will talk to my brother about this later, you answer my question first."

Wanyan Xie nodded, he still had something very important to say: "Well, Yelu Zongyuan's rebellion is not true!"

Wanyan sipped and finished talking, and almost spit out the wine in Libo, but Wanyan just didn't finish, and he continued: "Don't worry, Yelu Zongyuan didn't intend to rebel, but his son Yelu Hongxiao is He must force his father to rebel."

how do I say this?Wanyan and Libo listened carefully.

But Wanyan Huan stood up, went to the door of the house, opened the door and looked outside, the people in the tribe outside were all busy, some just came back from hunting, and some had smoke rising from their homes, Wanyan Huan There was no one outside Sabachi's room.Seeing his brother so nervous, Wanyan impeached Libo and knew that there must be something going on inside.He also got up and looked outside, it seemed that the two brothers were quite safe talking.

Wanyan impeached answered his seat, and said in a low voice: "This time Yelu Hongxiao has united with the Song Dynasty, and he wants the Song Dynasty to send troops to assist."

Wanyan impeached Libo and laughed when he heard this. He didn't know that there were not many officials in the Song Dynasty, and there were no generals in the Song Dynasty who could fight. Yelu Hongxiao went to ask for someone, who could he ask for: "He took Why do you ask Song to send troops, brother, you don’t know, now Song pays attention to business alliances, as long as the border is safe, who cares who is in power in Liao?”

Wanyan Xie said very seriously: "Although the Song Kingdom doesn't have any generals who can fight, if you are willing to send troops, you can do it. Besides, Yelu Hongxiao has paid for it."

Wanyan impeached Libo with disdain. In his eyes, his brother, Wang, was the richest person in the Song Kingdom. Apart from his father's salary and the people's fat and people's anointing, what could Yelu Hongxiao do to convince the Song Dynasty? officials.

Wanyan Xie saw his brother's disdain, and he said in a low voice: "Yelu Hongxiao didn't give gold and silver, but a treasure. According to him, this treasure is hard to find in the world. He gave this treasure It was given to the Crown Prince of the Song Kingdom. Do you know that the Crown Prince is already in the Song Kingdom’s palace waiting to be enthroned at any time?"

Wanyan Libo was shocked when he heard that, how did his brother get the news, he asked in doubt: "How is it possible, we didn't hear about it when we came out."

Wanyan impeached rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth: "How long have you been out?"

"It's been two months, what's going on, brother, how do you know." Wanyan asked Libo anxiously.

Wanyan impeacher said: "Look, don't forget that I am under the command of Yelu Zongyuan. The emperor of your Song Dynasty is seriously ill. It seems that he can't last much time. And I guess it will be a few days. Yelu Zongyuan Hongxiao's big gift has been sent to the Crown Prince of Song."

This matter is very important, Xie Libo muttered: "No, I have to tell Ruoqu quickly. By the way, do you know what treasure Yelu Hongxiao gave you?"

Wanyan impeached thought, if it was anyone, why was his younger brother so nervous about him?He stopped him and said, "I don't know exactly what this baby is. When will you change your temper? You haven't told me who it is."

Hearing his elder brother's question, Wanyan impeached Libo and repeated what he had said to his father, and then asked: "Brother, what do you really think, do you really want to help Yeluzong?"

Wanyan impeacher glared: "Others don't understand me. The two of us grew up together. Don't you understand me? How can we Wanyan people get along with that Yelu dog thief. I just want to spy on the truth. Now my father misunderstood me a little, since the matter has already happened, I will not mess with them. When brother comes back, we will deal with Yelu dog thief together. Since you are going to Shangjing, brother will go with you."

Wanyan impeached Libo overjoyed, thanked his elder brother and said: "Brother will stay with Yelu Zongyuan for the time being, and when we meet in Shangjing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, we will discuss how to deal with it together."
