Chapter Five Hundred and Fifteen Heads
After careful consideration, Zhao Xu also thought that you were indeed not suitable to go to war with the Liao Kingdom now.
Xiao Tiancheng looked back at Zhang Dun and the other two, turned to Zhao Xu, and said with a cold smile: "Your Majesty, this is just the beginning. We have acquaintance, and I have prepared a big gift for you."
Zhao Xu has seen Xiao Tiancheng several times and knows that such a person will never die for nothing. He must have made sufficient arrangements!
"Are you going to get back?"
Zhao Xu looked at Chen Pi and said, "Go to Beijing, no, check it out too."
Chenpi understood, glanced at Xiao Tiancheng and said, "Yes."
Xiao Tiancheng laughed and said, "I know that Your Majesty has arranged people in Liao Kingdom, so why can't you beware of it? You can't find it, wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow door quickly walked into the side door and handed a carrier pigeon tied with a red rope to Chenpi.
Chen Pi's face turned upright, she waved her hand and pushed him down, took out the letter, handed it to Zhao Xu, and whispered: "The official family, news from Xingqing Mansion."
Zhao Xu knew that red represents the highest level, and should have been sent by Qingtianwei from Huanzhou. He took it and looked out. The font was relatively small, but Zhao Xu could see clearly: Liao, Xia, and Tubo conspired to jointly attack Song, and the time was tentatively set for April, with a large army of 400,000, coming from three sides.
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Liao, Xia, and Tubo attacked our Song Dynasty from three sides. The 400,000 army is really a big deal!"
Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and Wen Yanbo looked at Zhao Xu together. The three of them had different expressions, all of which were shocked and solemn.
Even though he had always played a transparent person, Zhao Qi, who was so arrogant that he dared not breathe, became solemn.
However, Xiao Tiancheng's face, who was already thrilling on the ground, changed suddenly. He looked up at Zhao Xu and said in a lost voice: "Impossible! Impossible! You can't know. Only the highest level knows this, and you have no reason to know!"
Logically speaking, the Three Kingdoms have a long journey, and even the smartest spy should not be able to detect such confidential information.
But the Imperial City Department ambushed a Weiming Ashan in Xixia. Weiming Ashan is now the third person in Xingqing Prefecture. For such a major event, Li Qianshun will definitely seek his opinions and even ask him to lead his troops to attack Song!
Zhang Dun didn't understand Xiao Tiancheng's backup plan, so he raised his hand decisively and said to Zhao Xu: "The official family, I believe that we should take the initiative. The first step is to attack Qingtang Tubo. The second step is to issue an order to denounce Li Qianshun and advance the Lingzhou military line to intimidate Xingqing Prefecture. The third step is to order the cavalry from Jianzhong to leave Hedong Road and wander in Youyun. The fourth step is to send Xiao Tiancheng's head back and issue a letter of war to the Liao Kingdom!"
Xiao Tiancheng came to Kaifeng City this time, and he was a dangerous move.
He felt the threat from the Song Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom, but there were constant controversies within Liao Kingdom and insisted on suppressing bandits first. He did not agree. He was a firm pro-war faction and even died without hesitation to stimulate the Liao court!
When Xiao Tiancheng listened to Zhang Dun's words, he not only was not afraid, but laughed, saying, "If you don't talk about me, Daliao, Xia, and Tubo, you feel deeply the danger of the Song Dynasty. If they don't take action, they can only be slaughtered. And you dare to interfere in Daliao, and stop the annual monies and tear up the Chanyuan Alliance. If you Song people are not honest, then you will be honest! Wait, your reactions will not only not stop us, but will also let us gather more troops. The Three Kingdoms will attack Song, and Song will be destroyed!"
Zhao Xu looked as usual and said with a smile: "Since you know your trump card, it will be easy to solve it. What do you say about Xianggong Cai and Lu Huiqing?"
Cai Bian quickly raised his hand and said, "When he returns to the official family, he is willing to commit crimes and seek forgiveness from the official family."
Zhao Xuqing knew that Cai Bian had done a lot of work in this, but he didn't care about it, and said, "Well, then I'll appoint him as the Chengdu Prefecture Road Manager and let him set off immediately. In March next year, I will take the initiative and take the Qingtang area for me. He wants troops and food, and give me as much as possible. I will beat Tubo to the bottom first! Humph, Tubo is honest, I will send Liao with Li Xia!"
Xiao Tiancheng's eyes suddenly shrank and he sneered, "Your Majesty, is this a foolish dream? Tubo is not that easy to fight, let alone Li Xia is there. Moreover, our 300,000 troops of the Great Liao Dynasty are heading south. Does Song have the remaining strength to deal with Tubo and Li Xia? Don't think that winning Li Xia will be too arrogant. I will destroy Song in the blink of an eye!"
Cai Bian ignored Xiao Tiancheng and raised his hand and said, "I will receive the order. The official, should I communicate with the Privy Council for this matter?"
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I will tell you in detail later. By the way, I have sent it to the heartland of Liao Kingdom. Have you chosen Zangpu?"
Zhang Dun said: "When he returned to the official family, Zhong Pu was one of them. There were six people in total, and they were sent to the six places with the largest rebellion to the Liao Kingdom. We will guide them on how to fight, as well as provide food, grass, and weapons."
Xiao Tiancheng looked annoyed and gritted his teeth and said, "What I thought was right. Song Ren Langzi's ambition is hateful. Those people in the court refused to listen to me, and they even thought you were the past!"
Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Okay. But I can't give them something for free, and I'll exchange cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver utensils, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even young and strong women. I want it. This is a transaction, not unconditional support!"
Cai Bian was stunned, then understood and said, "Yes."
After Zhao Xu finished speaking, his eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "Since I am going to tear my face apart, I will open my words. First, I do not recognize the Chanyuan Alliance, and there is no such thing as the annual tribute of Liao, and there will be no such thing as this dynasty and future. Who dares to have any objections and be treated as treason! The strategy of Liao is mainly 'strategic confusion', and the temporary purpose is to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun! This is a national policy, irrefutable and change!"
"I will receive the order." Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, and Wen Yanbo raised their hands.
At first, Wen Yanbo's voice was a little slower, and then he followed.
Zhao Xu glanced at Wen Yanbo and said, "Mr. Wen, do you have any objections?"
The "old party" was a conservative party who opposed the war. When Sima Guang was in power, he even cut four fortresses to Xixia in order to stop the troops.
Wen Yanbo's expression did not change at all, his old face changed, and he raised his hand and said, "I have no objection."
Zhao Xu sat upright and said, "Then according to the Grand Prince, Xiao Tiancheng's head was sent back. At the same time, he ordered the Privy Council and the Ministry of War to spread the three northern routes to prepare."
"I obey the order." As the great minister of the dynasty, Zhang Dun bowed to receive the order.
Xiao Tiancheng is very angry now and regrets it.
He regretted being too impulsive and took this risky move. If he could leave Bianjing alive, he would have a way to deal with the Song Dynasty. But he was about to die. The people in Zhongjing seemed to have no idea of the ambitions of the Song people, and were immersed in the credit book of the Chanyuan Alliance to sleep!
