The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 166 Good News

On the other side, Luo Ping led a dozen people, who had already disguised themselves, and sneaked into Xingqing Mansion quietly.

The Song Dynasty had already set up a reception site in Xingqing Mansion. This reception site was only established after Zhao Huan ascended the throne. It is probably impossible to say that Zhao Huan had no idea about Xixia.

"General Luo, the envoys sent by His Majesty just arrived in the city at this time, and I will introduce you two." Zhang Wei, the head of the reception point of Xingqing Mansion, said to Luo Ping.

Luo Ping didn't expect that the imperial court would send an envoy. He didn't know what the imperial court would do, whether what he wanted to do would conflict with the imperial court, so he nodded quickly and said, "Please trouble Zhang."

Therefore, Zhang Wei quietly arranged for Luo Ping to meet with Du Qian, the envoy of Xixia this time.

Du Qian was a civil servant. When he saw Luo Ping at this time, he couldn't help but frowned. It was because the bloody aura on Luo Ping's body was so strong that it made people feel uncomfortable from a distance. It should be the legendary hostility.

"Before your majesty, you specifically asked me to tell Mr. Zhang to keep an eye on your movements. I didn't expect to meet you here." Du Qian subconsciously moved away from Luo Ping, and then said.

"My lord Du, I wonder if there is any purpose for the imperial court to send you to Xixia this time?" Luo Ping said to Du Qian.

Du Qian raised his head and looked at Luo Ping with some displeasure. The Song Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs. Du Qian was a civil servant. At this time, Luo Ping's questioning was a bit like asking a superior to a subordinate.

Although Luo Ping is a military commander, he has a flexible mind. Naturally, he saw Du Qian's displeasure at this time, and hurriedly said: "Master Du, the last general didn't intend to inquire about the secrets of the court, but I also followed the general's order. I went to the city to handle errands, in order to prevent conflicts between the two sides, I just wanted to inform Master Du."

Du Qian nodded when he heard what Luo Ping said, and said, "It's not a secret, it's just that His Majesty wanted to renegotiate with Xixia and decided not to give Xixia old coins every year."

Luo Ping didn't expect Du Qian's purpose to be like this, and he was overjoyed. As a passionate general, to be honest, he felt aggrieved by the fact that the Song Dynasty gave old coins, especially during the war between Song Zai and Xixia. The middle is still the victor's side.

The winner has to give the old coin, which is probably only the Song Dynasty in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, or in the history of the whole world. Although the old coin given by the Song Dynasty will be earned back from the process of trade in the future, But it's also a really annoying thing.

"Your Majesty has decided not to give Xixia Sui coins anymore, ah, this is really exciting news!" Luo Ping said a little excitedly.

Du Qian smiled wryly in his heart. The news really lifted his spirits, but he was a little unhappy at this time. His Majesty ordered this matter, but the task on his shoulders is also much heavier. To complete this task, to be honest, Du Qian has no idea.

Seeing the hesitation on Du Qian's face, Luo Ping knew that he must have some doubts in his heart, so he smiled and said to Du Qian, "Master Du has no doubts in his mind?"

Du Qian glared at Luo Ping and said, "I don't know what to do. I'm afraid that if the negotiation fails, and if the two countries suffer from troubles, then I will become a sinner between the two countries."

Luo Ping nodded, and said to Du Qian: "Master Du, I have some good news to share with you, which may be of great benefit to your negotiation this time."

Du Qian raised his head, waiting for Luo Ping to continue.

"Some time ago, the Feiyu army fought against the Xixia army. It can be said that they won both battles, and wiped out a total of nearly 10 Xixia troops." Luo Ping said with some pride.

"What?" Du Qian was taken aback when he heard the news. You must know that Xixia's army is full of troops, but only 25 people. Now nearly 10 people have been wiped out by the Feiyu Army. Xixia has nearly half of its troops.

"General Luo...haha...you can say some happy things to make me happy." Du Qian said to Luo Ping, but it was obvious in his words that he didn't believe what Luo Ping said.

Luo Ping curled his lips. This battle was fought from within Xixia, so it did not spread to Song Dynasty. Zhang Wei on the side hurriedly said: "Master Du, there is such a thing, and the minister has already passed the news to Bianjing. , maybe it hasn't reached His Majesty's hands yet."

Hearing Zhang Wei said the same thing, Du Qian believed it, but the expression on his face was still a little unbelievable, and he murmured: "You guys, how many people are there?"

Luo Ping was still a little proud, so he replied: "There are not many soldiers, the important thing is that they are well-equipped. Although our Feiyu Army has less than 5000 troops, we are fearless even in the face of an army of [-]."

At this time, Du Qian did not dare to underestimate Luo Ping, and when he felt the strong bloody aura on Luo Ping's body, he understood. In fact, this strong bloody aura was the last thing Luo Ping climbed out of the dead. Good proof.

"It's a hard work for you." Du Qian said to Luo Ping, "It's no wonder that His Majesty cares about you so much. Before leaving, he specifically told me to tell Mr. Zhang to pay attention to your news."

Hearing what Du Qian said, Luo Ping was really moved. The Song Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs, and their generals had never had a high status. At this time, their Feiyu Army was fortunate to be remembered by the emperor. How could they be unhappy? Reasonable.

"Your Majesty misses us so much, even if we die here in Xixia, we would be happy." Luo Ping said a little excitedly.

When Du Qian heard what Luo Ping said, he waved his hands and said, "You are all heroes of our dynasty, don't kill yourself on impulse, your majesty told you to be careful and patient when he came, it won't take long, He will send an army to take you home."

When Du Qian heard Zhao Huan say this at the time, he was still a little puzzled, thinking that it was just Zhao Huan's words to comfort his subordinates, but when he thought about it now, it was a different flavor. I'm afraid Zhao Huan At that time, I didn't just talk about it casually, but I really wanted to do it like this.

Today's Majesty is really a great talent!Du Qian couldn't help but think in his heart.

Luo Ping was very happy. Fortunately, neither he nor Yang Weiguo were reckless. At this time, Yang Weiguo had already jumped out of Feng Renduo Baozhong's encirclement and marched westward.
