Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 227 Persuading Surrender

Hearing this, Zhao Mu also said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Master, although the child has not yet been married, there is already a marriage contract. The emperor has decreed that I will marry Princess Zhaohua of Dali Kingdom. From then on, I, Song Dynasty and Dali will always be together." Good alliance. Before I went to the Zhenlong Chess Game meeting, the Dali Kingdom’s envoy had already arrived.”

Li Qiu Shui chuckled softly when he heard this and then sighed and said: "That's all! It doesn't matter if a man marries a few more. Your silly brother has hundreds of beauties in his harem, so it doesn't matter if you marry a few more. Although this kid from Yinchuan has a arrogant temper She's a little bit older, but she's also a good girl. You should treat her well in the future, and then Master Wife will be satisfied."

Hearing Li Qiushui's words, Zhao Mu snickered in his heart.

He feels that most women have double standards and only allow their husbands to marry themselves. But for his son and grandson, he can't wait to give him the best girl in the world.

And they are also very controlling over their daughters or granddaughters. Just like when they were controlled by their elders. They are not allowed to make their own choices and must obey the arrangements of her elder.

Speaking of the concubines in the Xixia Palace, Zhao Mu thought of the woman from the Ming Cult.

Zhao Mu then asked: "By the way, Master Madam, I remembered something. I once sneaked into the palace to steal daily necessities. At that time, I disguised myself as a little palace maid, and ended up being temporarily captured to serve an imperial concubine. Bathing. I saw that the woman's martial arts was not bad. Later, after my uncle recovered his mobility, he went to see it in person. My uncle recognized that the woman's martial arts style seemed to be from the Ming sect. Both my uncle and I looked at it. That woman’s martial arts skills are not bad when she comes out.”

Hearing Zhao Mu's words, Li Qiushui frowned slightly and said, "Which imperial concubine?"

Zhao Mu replied: "I don't know what her title is, I only know that she is a woman with lustful eyes."

Li Qiu Shui recalled for a while and said, "Is she Ming Fei? That silly brother of yours really dotes on her. Although this woman has some martial arts skills, I didn't pay special attention to her before."

Zhao Mu asked strangely: "Why is this? Master Wife, aren't you worried that a woman with unknown origins and strong martial arts is next to the leader of the Xixia Kingdom? He is your biological son."

Li Qiushui smiled and said: "It is true that the leader of the Xixia Kingdom is my biological son, but who said that his own martial arts is poor?"

Zhao Mu asked: "What? Does the leader of the Xixia Kingdom also know martial arts?"

Li Qiushui still smiled and replied: "Of course. Not only him, this girl from Yinchuan is the most like me. I also taught her martial arts. You said before that she was kidnapped for your entertainment. There is only one in this palace. This is only possible if Senior Sister takes action. Let alone kidnapping her, it is not an easy task for ordinary martial arts people to even get close to her."

Zhao Mu was quite surprised that the Xixia king and his daughter knew martial arts. However, in the original work, Li Qinglu did not take any action, but it does not mean that she does not know any martial arts. However, Zhao Mu also laughed at himself. When he was entangled with Li Qinglu, he was so caught up in lust that he didn't notice whether there was any internal force in her body.

Zhao Mu asked at this time: "By the way! Master Wife. How about the strength of the Xixia King and Princess Yinchuan?"

Li Qiu Shui narrowed her eyes and glanced at Zhao Mu, and said: "Don't worry, no matter how strong the two of them are, they can't compare to you now. The person who can take one of my white rainbow palms and still not die, I'm afraid in this world There are only a few. But you are one of them." Li Qiushui then said to himself: "But that woman from the Ming Cult should really pay attention."

Li Qiushui looked at Zhao Mu at this time and asked: "Little Mu'er, Master Wife wants to ask you a few words. You must tell the truth to Master Wife."

Zhao Mu nodded and said: "Master's wife, just ask. The child will definitely know everything about Master's wife."

Li Qiushui sighed and said: "Is the war between Xixia and Song Dynasty inevitable? To be honest, I don't want to see you two brothers fighting in the same room. What's more, my son is not only your brother, but also your father-in-law. Just like you You are very filial to me and my uncle, and you two are just flesh on the palms and backs of my hands to my wife. I won’t bear it if any one of you is broken."

Zhao Mu also sat in front of Li Qiushui. He said: "Master's wife, although I don't want to discuss these official matters with you, Master's wife. But there is nothing that can be done about it. Because the ownership of the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, the alliance of Chanyuan Shame, coupled with successive years of coins. We, the Song Dynasty, have always regarded the Liao as our mortal enemy. The so-called alliance of brothers before was nothing more than following Wen Jing's example of keeping a low profile and biding our time. Now, our Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, a heroic leader above and wise ministers below. It is the time to wipe out the Khitan barbarians and help the old land of the former Tang Dynasty. The war between Song and Liao is inevitable."

"Once Song and Liao start a war, then Xixia will be a thorn in the flesh of both Song and Liao. Because Xixia has both sides, neither Song and Liao trust him very much. Xixia may want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then sit back Harvest the fishermen's profit. But both Song and Liao also know Xixia's thoughts very well. Even if the Song Dynasty does not send troops to pacify Xia, the Liao Kingdom will send troops to destroy Xixia first to relieve its worries."

"Moreover, the territory of Xixia is the territory of Yongliang and Yongzhou in the old land of Han Dynasty. Moreover, the existence of Xixia has also cut off the "Hexi Corridor", the main road of the Protectorate of the Western Regions of Han Dynasty. These territories have been part of the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty. Dynasty. Not to mention the former Tang Dynasty. The Han people will naturally take back these places."

But then Zhao Mu also comforted Li Qiu Shui and said: "Okay, Master! Let's not mention this matter today. If one day, Song Dynasty really goes to war with Xixia, Master's wife does not have to hold back on me. The child said before However, when the time comes, we will be our own masters. The child cannot give up his loyalty to me, the Song Dynasty, just because of his filial piety to his wife. However, there are ways to avoid this dispute, but Xixia Kingdom will definitely not accept this condition. Accepted.”

Li Qiushui also understood what Zhao Mu meant, and she said: "This is good. After many years of keeping a low profile and biding its time, the Xixia Kingdom has enough food and grass to prepare its troops and strengthen its horses. Although it is not as good as the Liao and Song Dynasties, a large country with a territory of thousands of miles, but if you let your stupid It is absolutely impossible for me to surrender without a fight. It seems that this battle is unavoidable. But Master Wife also wants to ask you something."

Zhao Mu looked at Li Qiu Shui and said, "Just ask me if you have anything to do. But I also understand what I mean. As my wife said, the Lord of the Xixia Kingdom is both my brother and my father-in-law, so naturally I will not harm his life." .”

Zhao Mu felt that his relationship with the Xixia leader was really awkward. As far as Li Qiu Shui was concerned, the two of them were buddies. But to Li Qinglu, he was her father-in-law. Zhao Mu really can't tell whether the two of them are son-in-law or brothers.

After Li Qiushui received Zhao Mu's promise, he nodded with satisfaction.

Then Zhao Mu continued: "But I still want to persuade my brother to surrender. The Song Dynasty has been reorganizing its troops for many years, and it is no longer the weak Song Dynasty that can be bullied. And now the Liao Dynasty is strong in the outside world, after the Chanyuan War After many years of trade with the Alliance, their money was almost wiped out by our Song Dynasty. When it comes to financial resources, even if the Liao Kingdom and Xixia are tied together, they are not as good as our Song Dynasty. So from the beginning, Xixia’s attitude towards our Song Dynasty was not Important. But if Xixia can fall to the Song Dynasty, Hai'er can plead with the emperor to retain the throne of the Xixia Kingdom and its hereditary wealth. Just like the Chai family last week."
