King of Song

Chapter 378 Chapter [-]

Qingzhou is Qingyang, Gansu in later generations, while Suizhou is in northern Shaanxi, and you have to walk northeast for several days to get there.

The next day after receiving the edict, Lin Zhao and others set off for the trip, not in a hurry along the way.The peace talks were proposed by the Xixia people, and the prime minister was captured, should he be the one to worry about?
Of course, Lin Zhao was also worried about Zhewenxin's safety.But what is certain is that there is no problem with Zhewenxin's safety before the peace talks.The more this is the case, the more you need to be calm, otherwise anyone will fall into a weak position and fall into a passive position.Lin Zhao firmly believed that the Empress Dowager Liang should be more anxious than herself.He is even more convinced that he will be able to save his beloved wife!
Lin Zhao rode the little white dragon in the lead, with a heroic posture and an extraordinary bearing.

The white horse is very conspicuous, and logically speaking, it is not suitable for riding on the battlefield. After all, the target is too obvious and it will be more dangerous, especially the main generals, who need to be careful.In history, only Gongsun Zan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty had the more flamboyant Baima Yicong, which is a special case!

The little white dragon under Lin Zhao's seat was a gift from Yelv Jun, the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom, and it is one of the best horses in the world.As for the safety issue, he was not very worried. After all, he was walking inside the territory of the Song Dynasty, and there were [-] troops guarding him, so there should be no safety problems.

You know, these three thousand troops are all well-equipped cavalry.The matter was so important that he didn't dare to make any mistakes. Wang Shao deliberately selected the elite of the Western Army, firstly to escort Liang Yi to bury him, and at the same time serve as the peace negotiator envoy Lin Zhao's guard.Since we want to face the Xixia people directly, we can't weaken the power of the Song army. The seats are all first-class Tubo horses, and the momentum is huge!

What's more, there are scouts in front of the team to inquire about news, and there are experienced soldiers of the Western Army on both sides to be on guard, so there is absolutely no problem in terms of safety.

Liu Changzuo was ordered to guard Lin Zhao. Although his qualifications in the army and even his position were higher than Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao is now the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Although the Ministry of War was just an empty shelf in the Song Dynasty and had no real power, but after all, it had the title of servant and was a high-ranking official.What's more, he is now a peace negotiator, responsible for such an important matter as peace talks with Xixia.All states and counties have to cooperate with the Western Army.In addition to the strength behind Lin Zhao, Liu Changzuo had seen it with his own eyes in Bianjing, and he knew that Lin Shilang had a profound background and a bright future.Therefore, he didn't dare to make any excuses at all, and he completely regarded himself as a lieutenant general along the way, and cooperated very well.

Lin Zhao also clearly felt Liu Changzuo's respect and cooperation. He was also very satisfied with this, and got along very well along the way. After all, there was the experience and friendship of fighting side by side in Dashun City.But Liu Changzuo is a general in the army, it is impossible to completely obey his orders, it can only be said to be official cooperation.

This also made Lin Zhao discover a problem, that is, there is a serious lack of people around him, especially in the army, and he has no confidants, so it is quite troublesome to do things.Now there is only one Achang available by his side, who is from Fuzhou Zhe family, but he can be used as a close body guard, and the others are inevitably a bit powerless.Furthermore, one person is too busy, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.Lin Zhao deeply felt that there was a need to fill in the gaps, or to have helpers who could handle matters big and small.

When I went to Liao and Tubo, I had Su An by my side. Although he was not a complete confidant, he was able to handle things properly and helped him a lot.But since returning to Bianjing last time, Su An has disappeared since he was imprisoned.

I remember that when the soldiers of the Forbidden Army gave false testimony, they seemed to mention that Su An was framed as his accomplice in collaborating with the enemy and treason.Now I am released from prison safely, but what about Su An?Speaking of which, he also hurt him.Although Lin Zhao inquired about it afterwards, the Forbidden Army seemed to be tight-lipped and did not ask any clues at all.

I don't know where he is now?How is he?Thinking of his old friend and assistant in the past, Lin Zhao really missed him a little bit.I was also very worried, whether he would be hurt because he knew too much...

Of course, Lin Zhao hopes to cultivate another person of his own, a trustworthy confidant.

Yu Xuan is a good candidate, but he has expertise in government affairs and manages business properly.But in the army, especially when running around doing things, it is inevitable that it will be worse.What's more, now that he is far away in Bianjing, not to mention that he can't quench his thirst, and he still needs to help a few wives at home with their affairs. He is destined to be the big housekeeper of the Lin family, so he can only find someone else.

For a while, Lin Zhao really wanted to have a helper by his side, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed.It can be met but not sought, and it needs to be carefully cultivated, so I can only watch it while walking...

"Brother Changzuo, how is the situation over there at Liang Yibu?" Lin Zhao slowly slowed down and turned around to ask Liu Changzuo.

Liang Yibu is very important, and is an important bargaining chip in this negotiation, the highest-ranking hostage.If not, how could a purely military victory make Queen Mother Liang bow her head?Although he was a captured prisoner, Liang Yibu's treatment was not bad, and he took good care of him.

During this trip, Liang Yibu was placed on a specially-made carriage with exquisite interior decoration and soft cushions, which can relieve the fatigue of the carriage to a certain extent.Food, tea and water are all available in the car, and there is only a dedicated maid to serve it.The body of the carriage is made of high-quality wood, and a layer of steel plates is specially inlaid in the middle to prevent it from being attacked.There is a layer of metal guardrails around the doors and windows, which are specially locked, and can only be opened by using two keys in the hands of Lin Zhao and Liu Changzuo at the same time.To be precise, these two carriages are actually a mobile luxury prison.

Liang Yibu's identity is really too precious, and he is a hostage and a bargaining chip in his hands, which can exert great value.But in case of death, or the slightest mistake, the consequences would be disastrous.At that time, it will be a hot potato, which will make the Xixia people share the same hatred, and it will be an excuse for crazy revenge.

Although Lin Zhao had a feud with him, he had no intention of hurting him.Killing a Prime Minister will cause limited losses to Xixia, and it will not change anything. Liang Yibu is not yet critical to that extent, but it will cause a lot of trouble, which is really not worthwhile.What's more, Lin Zhao planned to use him in exchange for his beautiful wife, so he naturally took good care of her.

The coachman is a well-trained and experienced veteran, and there is no problem with loyalty.There are also several alert soldiers accompanying the vehicle, who can deal with problems at any time when they find problems.Surrounding the carriage was a group of 200 elite guards who were constantly guarding, absolutely guaranteeing the safety of Liang Yibu.Don't let him escape, don't give others a chance to hurt him...

As for suicide, Lin Zhao was not worried.After being captured, Liang Yibu didn't consider committing suicide, thinking about it, he also couldn't bear their glory and wealth.Now that such a long time has passed, you know that your sister, Queen Mother Liang, is working hard to rescue herself, and she will not commit suicide, so she is not worried about this problem...

Liu Changzuo smiled and said, "It's okay, Liang Guoxiang is contented, living comfortably..."

Immediately, the two looked at each other and laughed. It is inevitable that such a success in the battle against Xixia, as the guards of the frontier army, they are naturally very excited, and it is also common to joke with Liang Yibu...

Lin Zhao smiled and rode back to the middle of the team. Seeing that the carriage was as normal, he nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the soldiers to take care of it to ensure safety.

While talking, there were several noises from the carriage. It must be that Liang Yibu in the carriage heard Lin Zhao's voice, so he must react!
The life of being captured was not easy. Although Song Jun didn't embarrass him, he was a prisoner after all, his dignity was damaged, and he really felt sorry for his face.

However, Liang Yibu did not choose to commit suicide. The party culture does not emphasize that scholars can be killed but not humiliated like the Han family.What is it to commit suicide after being slightly humiliated?It is the last word to have a useful body to know shame and then be brave.He also knew that people in the Song Dynasty would not kill themselves, nor did they dare to kill themselves.They are afraid of the revenge of the Xixia army, so they must make a fuss about themselves...

Liang Yibu can think clearly, especially after knowing that his sister is trying to rescue him, he has no determination to die.Liang Yibu was too aware of his own importance, what would happen to the Liang family if he died?Without the support of running around, how could the status of my sister and the emperor's nephew and son-in-law be so stable?So no matter what, you must not die, and find a way to return to Xixia alive!

It's just that there must be a price to be paid for returning to Xixia, and the peace talks are about to start. This is the news he got from Lin Zhao!

Unexpectedly, my sister vowed so firmly that Xixia would mobilize together, with such a huge momentum, she vowed to fight the Song Dynasty to the death, but it ended like this.The war ended because of himself, Liang Yibu is very self-aware, at this moment he doesn't know what kind of mood he should be in, should he be happy?Still a little sour?
In order to end the war for herself, my sister can go to negotiate peace with the people of the Song Dynasty. Liang Yibu is quite moved by this.It is a very happy thing to be cared for by relatives. No matter what kind of mentality my sister has, at least she is willing to make sacrifices to save herself, and that is enough...

As for the big enemy Lin Zhao, after so many days, Liang Yibu has gradually calmed down.He thought about it a lot, and he was not as reckless as before, and admitted that he still hated Lin Zhao very much, if it wasn't for him, why did he fall to such a state?

Many times, Liang Yibu couldn't help laughing bitterly. Lin Zhao seemed to be his nemesis. Over the past year, on many occasions, he had lost to him many times. Every time there was hope, but in the end he always It's disappointment, and the ending is getting worse every time!Maybe from the beginning, I didn't want to provoke him anymore, this guy is very lucky!

But when he calmed down, Liang Yibu also thought of his own problems.If he hadn't been eager for quick success and was dazzled by hatred, how could he have fallen to such a point?Revenge is necessary, and face must be regained, but it must be done slowly, not in this way.

In many cases, suffering is not a bad thing, but it is of great benefit to a person's growth and life.After experiencing failure, as long as you know how to reflect and correct mistakes, it is a good growth and promotion.In this process, he is stepping towards success step by step... Now Liang Yibu has been reflecting for a long time, and his mentality is also undergoing some changes. After this incident, maybe he can become more mature, but how mature can he be? to what extent?It's something to wait and see.

After Lin Zhao heard the noise, he smiled and said, "Liang Guoxiang, don't worry, we are on our way to Suizhou, maybe you can go back to Xingqing Mansion in a short time!"

Suizhou?Liang Yi buried his heart and remained silent.Ever since he boarded the cart, he knew that the peace talks had begun.It is self-evident what the people of the Song Dynasty meant by sending themselves there, and their going or staying must be an important part of the peace talks.But it is also an excellent bargaining chip in the hands of the people of the Song Dynasty...

I still don't know how people in the Song Dynasty will use themselves to threaten their sisters, Liang Yibu is a little overwhelmed thinking about it.What price will the Xixia Kingdom have to pay if they want to change themselves back?Presumably because she was captured, her sister, Queen Mother Liang, must have been under tremendous pressure in China.

He didn't know that Xixia had won in Jingzhou and captured Lin Zhao's wife in exchange for him.Lin Zhao naturally strictly blocked such important news, and it was impossible to disclose it to Liang Yi.Out of various considerations, Liang Yi can't be buried for anything, physically can't be hurt, but mentally tortured is okay.

Not only Liang Yi was buried, but even in the entire Northwest, apart from Zhe's family, only Wang Shao knew about it.Otherwise, if the news spreads, how can I be the peace negotiator?Without this convenient condition, it would be really difficult to rescue Zhewenxin!
All of a sudden, Liang Yibu felt very emotional, he understood his sister's Queen Mother Liang a little bit, and at the same time felt remorse and guilt for what he had done in the past.In the prison of the swaying carriage, while Liang Yibu became more and more mature, he also felt a little worried about the future.If you can return to Xixia smoothly, you must help your sister well. If you can return to Xixia, you must plan well in the future, and you must make your big enemy Lin Zhao pay the price...

This is the case with hatred. Once you have a hatred, how can it be so easy to give up?

Lin Zhao didn't care what Liang Yibu in the carriage thought, it didn't matter.The top priority now is to save Zhe Wenxin, as for the others, it is not important...

As for Liang Yibu, he didn't take it seriously.Don't you want revenge?Even if you come here, if you can beat you up again and again, you can have a next time, and now Lin Zhao is very confident.

Lin Zhao rode his horse back to the front of the team, and when he was about to joke with Liu Changzuo, suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes in front of him.The scouts sent out rushed back, and seeing the dusty appearance, something must have happened.

Both Lin Zhao and Liu Changzuo frowned involuntarily, and asked in unison, "What's going on ahead?"

"Back to the two adults, in the valley ahead, there are two teams fighting..."

"The two teams are fighting?" Lin Zhao and Liu Changzuo looked at each other, both had some bad premonitions in their hearts, and immediately ordered: "Strengthen your guard and investigate in detail immediately..."

"Yes!" The scout agreed, turned the horse's head and galloped away, and the hurried hooves gradually disappeared into the distance...
