King of Song

Chapter 371 Breaking News
Youzhou, Nanjing of Liao Kingdom!
While the crown prince Yelujun and the little princess Yelutri were dining, Yelu Yixin came in a hurry.

"Uncle Wang, is there something urgent?" Seeing Yelu Yixin hurrying, Yelujun guessed that there might be something important, otherwise he wouldn't even have time to eat.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Yelu Yixin nodded and said, "There is news from Qingzhou!"

Yelujun was very sensitive when he heard the word "Qingzhou", and immediately cheered up, and asked with a smile, "Is there a result in the battle in Dashun City? Who won?"

Yelu Yixin was just about to answer, but was suddenly interrupted by Yelu Jun: "Uncle Wang, let me guess...it was Song Jun and Lin Zhao who won, right?"

"It was the Song Army that won, and Lin Zhao played a big role in it!" Yelu Yixin was a little surprised, but also a little curious, and said with a smile, "How can Your Highness be sure that Lin Zhao won?"

"Guess, it's purely a feeling!" Yelu Jun didn't talk nonsense, he was telling the truth.From the very beginning, he really had such a special feeling in his heart.Perhaps in the eyes of others, Lin Zhao is just an ordinary courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, but after a brief contact with Liaodong, Yelujun always felt that Lin Zhao was very special, but he couldn't tell if he was careful, so he had inexplicable expectations for him.

Yelu Tri also smiled and said, "Is Lin Zhao all right? I just know that big brother will be all right..." The little princess was also full of confidence and gave Lin Zhao a very special title of respect.She is also concerned about Lin Zhao's safety. These days, she often asks about it. Now that she knows that the big brother who is holding her and fleeing on horseback is safe, the little princess is relieved and in a good mood.

Seeing this situation, Yelu Yixin couldn't help being a little curious, what is so special about this Lin Zhao?The evaluation and expectations of the prince and princess of the Liao Kingdom are so high.It seems that I have neglected this person a little bit, and I need to pay more attention in the future. Suddenly, Yelu Yixin is also full of curiosity about Lin Zhao.

Yelujun smiled and said: "Although Lin Zhao is young, he is full of wisdom and ability, so he must be underestimated. I think Liang Yibu died because he carelessly underestimated the enemy. Tell me, Uncle Wang, who is there?" What happened?" The young prince was very curious about this.Even if I already know the result clearly, even if I have made a thousand or ten thousand assumptions, what I want to know most is the specific situation.

Yelu Yixin said: "The leader of the Song Dynasty in this battle is Wang Shao, the latest military official promoted by the Song Dynasty emperor, who has some skills. Before that, the Song Dynasty took care of Li Fugui, the prefect of Gyeongju, and stabilized the situation in Gyeongju. It was Wang Shao The credit of this person is enough to show this person's wrist.

This time he deliberately sent Lin Zhao to Dashun City to attract Liang Yibu, who had a feud with him, to attack, and then deliberately did not rescue him to confuse Liang Yibu.Finally, when the Xixia army was unprepared, he personally led the army to take a detour to the back of Xixia, and raided the camp. The Xixia people were in chaos and suffered a complete defeat. "

"What? Liang Yibu was captured?" Yelujun was shocked when he heard the news. Is Lin Zhao so powerful?At the same time, I am also aware of the series of turmoil that may be brought about by the capture of the Prime Minister of the Xixia Kingdom. Although Yelu Jun is only a teenager, it may be because he was born in the royal family, talented and intelligent, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child. He is particularly precocious in politics and has a good understanding of trends. The analysis is very good, and the strategy is a rising star against the sky.

Yelu Yixin nodded and said, "Yes, Liang Yibu failed to escape in time after his defeat, and was captured by Lin Zhao himself."

It's Lin Zhao again, big brother is so amazing!The little princess Yerutri heard it in her ears and couldn't help applauding her. The big brother did a great job, and the big brother is amazing.The little princess was extremely excited and intoxicated, and a very special feeling gradually sprouted in her young heart.Not only that, Yelu Tri thought, after returning home, he should tell the queen mother, and if there are good things, they must be shared.

"Then what's the situation right now?" When it came to state affairs, Yelu Jun immediately became serious, especially such a shocking and heavy news, which must be taken seriously.He doesn't care about those trivial, innocuous things.He cares more about the overall situation and the situation in the Northwest. What happens after the Prime Minister of Xixia is captured?How is the relationship between Song Xia?Where will the future go?What kind of impact will it have on the Liao Kingdom?How should the Liao Kingdom deal with itself at this time?Or take some appropriate and necessary measures?

In an instant, all the questions came to mind, and Yelujun's brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about the stakes and corresponding countermeasures.

Yelu Yixin said: "The war between Song and Xia was temporarily due to a truce. Although the Song Dynasty won a complete victory in Dashun City. But when Fuzhou Zhekexing attacked Jingzhou, they were ambushed by Xixia, and each battle has its own outcome..." Obviously, in the eyes of the big shots, Zhewenxin was a small person after all, and her capture was not noticed or taken seriously.

It is precisely because of this that many people naturally ignore the impact and consequences of Zhewenxin's capture, as well as the changes and subsequent development of the whole matter.Many times, the unexpected of history happened under such circumstances.

"Is that so!" Yelujun lowered his head and meditated silently, even forgetting that he was eating.After a long time, he asked, "What's Xixia's attitude? Uncle Wang came here in a hurry, so something must have happened?"

"That's right!" Yelu Yixin smiled, as if to praise the prince's intelligence and his ability to predict things like a god, but at the same time, there was a trace of sourness and hidden worry behind the smile.

"Xi Xia came to the news, willing to admit his mistakes to our court, with a very humble attitude, and asked our court to put pressure on the Song Dynasty..." Yelu Yixin explained his purpose of coming, and at the same time revealed the relationship between Song, Liao and Xia.Checks and balances are inevitable. After the Chanyuan alliance, the Liao Kingdom knew very well that it was unable to destroy the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty stationed heavy troops at Tangbo on the northern border. In addition to guarding against the invasion of the Liao Kingdom, it also served as a counterattack against the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. The main force has to be guarded.

In fact, the Liao Kingdom was under a lot of pressure in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. They were very satisfied with the current situation and did not want to fight the people of the Song Dynasty.Therefore, it is best to have Xixia, who can share the pressure on them from the Song Dynasty.Xixia took advantage of this advantage to have both sides, so what is Xixia's plan for such an attitude this time?

Yelujun was silent for a while, then asked, "What's Uncle Wang's opinion?"

"What does His Royal Highness think?" Yelu Yixin didn't answer, but asked a rhetorical question.It looks like he is testing the crown prince, but as for the actual purpose, only he knows...

Yelujun didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Why don't we write it together?"

"Okay!" Yelv Yixin agreed with the proposal, with a smile on his lips and his eyes flickering.

Immediately, an attendant brought a pen and paper, and the two wrote a few words each. Yelujun showed his own paper first. The handwriting was drawn with silver hooks and iron. Influence.I saw four words written up and down: Song Xia Yihe!

Yelu Yixin smiled knowingly, and unfolded his own paper, which also had a few words written on it: "Song Xia Yihe!"

Their thoughts coincided with each other!

Yelujun laughed and said, "It seems that the Empress Dowager Liang wanted to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, but she was afraid that the people of the Song Dynasty would not agree, so she came to us..."

"Let's put pressure on the Song Dynasty to take the initiative to cease the war. This is the wishful thinking of the Xixia people!" Yelu Yixin echoed casually, and his deep eyes fell on Yelujun. Although the prince is young, he is extremely intelligent and has far-reaching insights. , this son is extraordinary!The future... the future... I don't know why, looking at Yelu Jun, Yelu Yixin always feels that the future is gloomy, and even has an inexplicable fear and anxiety...

"What's Uncle Wang's opinion? Have you ever reported it to the capital? Does Emperor Father know? But tell me?" Yelujun asked in a deep voice.

Yelu Yixin replied: "Your Majesty has said that this matter is completely handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince. As for the minister... I will obey His Highness the Crown Prince's orders!"

Yelujun put down the food in his hands, paced back and forth in the room, and said in a low voice: "It is reasonable to say that the war between Song and Xia is good for our Daliao. When the snipe and the clam fight, we are good fisherman. But right now, Liang Yibu After being captured, the morale of Xixia was low, and I am afraid that he will not be the opponent of the Song army...

Without Liang Yibu, the Empress Dowager Liang could not stabilize the situation, and Xixia was in turmoil, which gave the Song Dynasty another opportunity.It is said that Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was ambitious and ambitious. If he wins Xixia, it will not be good for my Daliao... From this point of view, it is also good to let Song and Xia settle down for a while. "

Yelv Yixin just listened and didn't express any opinion.Now in this situation, he doesn't want to leave a reputation of disobedience to the prince, maybe it will be dangerous.Many times, when the situation is unclear, the first thing to notice is to protect yourself wisely.

After thinking for a long time, Yelujun said: "Uncle Wang, let the accompanying Pishi army participate in the exercise in Bianjing near Youzhou. The target is naturally the Southern Dynasty. Put some pressure on them."

According to Yelu Yixin's thinking, why bother to promote the peace talks between Song and Xia?Provoking the two countries to continue the war, the Liao Kingdom really muster its troops, and it would be best to be the fisherman of last resort.But Yelujun didn't think so, and didn't make such arrangements.Although Yelv Yixin had thoughts in his heart, he had no choice but to follow orders.

The Pishi Army is the most elite army in the Liao Kingdom, and it is also the Emperor's Guards.This time the crown prince Yelu Jun went south to Youzhou, Liao Lord Yelu Hongjitli sent a group of leather troops to accompany him, just to protect his son's safety.You know, Yelu Hongji is such a son, it is rare that he is so outstanding, so naturally there can be no mistakes.

The momentum and deterrence of the Pishi Army is self-evident. If the Pishi Army participates in the exercise, it is still so close to the Song Xia border, it will inevitably cause a lot of speculation and uncertainty. This is enough, and the role of deterrence is like this !

Whatever Yelu Jun arranged, Yelu Yixin did as well. Whether it was right or wrong, whether it was good or bad, it is hard to say now!
The wise prince didn't pay much attention to Yeluyi Xin who was beside him, but instead focused all his curiosity on Lin Zhao.Yelujun became more and more impulsive, and sometimes even wanted to see Lin Zhao again, and it would be best if he could have a confrontation with him to see who is more powerful?I really look forward to it, and I hope there will be this opportunity.

He didn't know that his little sister, Yelu Tri, was also full of expectations, hoping that one day she could ride horses with her big brother again...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bianjing, the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty.

Emperor Zhao Xu is in a good mood today. A concubine in the harem has just given birth to a baby boy, who is very healthy.You must know that Zhao Xu is already in his 20s. In ancient times, he got married early and had children early.Especially for the emperor, heirs mean blood inheritance, and there are successors for thousands of miles.

Look at the Renzong period, because the emperor was "childless" and caused so many things that almost made the country unstable and the situation was severe.Therefore, Zhao Xu got married early. The queen he married was the granddaughter of the former prime minister.

It doesn't matter if there is no eldest son, as long as the concubine can give birth.In the past two years, a concubine gave birth to two boys, named Zhao Yi and Zhao Zhi respectively, but not long after, both of the two children died, and Zhao Xu was very depressed.

Fortunately, another concubine gave birth to a boy a few days ago. The imperial doctor has visited him and he is very healthy, which made Zhao Xu feel relieved.Having a son, he was naturally very happy, and immediately named the third son Zhao Jun, and placed high hopes on it.

Zhao Xu didn't know that in the past few years, he was doomed to be difficult for his offspring.The first few children were destined to be joyous for nothing, until the sixth child, Zhao Xu, survived and became his de facto eldest son of the emperor, who should have become the Song Zhezong of later generations.But now because of the appearance of Lin Zhao, the trajectory of historical development has changed. It is hard to say whether Song Zhezong will be born...

In addition, Zhao Xu is even more pleased with the smooth progress of the Northwest War.Han Jiang really lived up to everyone's expectations. Once he arrived in the northwest, he took charge of the overall situation and stabilized the situation.

Recently, it was even more exciting in Dashun City. Wang Shao and Lin Zhao jointly designed and defeated Xixia in Dashun City.It is worth mentioning that Wang Shao's character is indeed good. In the military report to the imperial court, he did not emphasize that it was all his own strategy.Lin Zhao, who was originally kept in the dark, also became one of the planners. It is not impossible to share the credit...

When Zhao Xu got the news, he couldn't help praising him repeatedly. There was a big victory in the northwest, which was enough to inspire people's hearts.He was very satisfied with Wang Shao and Lin Zhao, the two young "confidantes", and what surprised him even more was that things were still to come.

Lin Zhao actually captured Liang Yibu, Prime Minister of the Xixia Kingdom. This was an unprecedented record in the history of the Song Army's combat operations, and it was truly a great achievement.

When Zhao Xu was thinking about how to reward, he was also thinking about how to solve the problem. How should Liang Yibu use it?In what way should the battle between Song and Xia come to an end?
At this moment, some heavy news spread to Bianjing one after another!
