Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 697 Playing with Zhang Tonggu
Li Changsheng frowned, and proudly said: "Ours is more exciting, I hope Sanfoqi will not let me down."

"Defeat their navy, everything is done step by step, maybe the second brother is doomed to be disappointed." Zhang Guo smiled easily.

Li Changsheng glanced at Zhang Guo in surprise, curled his lips and said, "It seems that the plan to change is ready?"

"The sea-ship team may not necessarily win at sea, their navy is not enough for our teeth." Zhang Guo smiled disdainfully.

"You mean..." Li Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that this fellow has great ambitions.

"Didn't the head of the mountain often say that the land should be ruled by the sea? My second brother also led the Tiger Wing Army once, so I forgot about it." Zhang Guo smiled softly.

When the expeditionary fleet of the Great Song Guards sailed, Zhang Tonggu led the Dajin Mission to Nanjing, and the Great Song Xingchao received it with a very high standard, which seemed quite grand.

Zhang Tonggu's attitude was quite arrogant. He was picky about the officials received by the Ministry of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty in every possible way, and even was extremely disrespectful to Zhao Chen's title, calling Zhao Chen the lord of Jiangnan.

Nima, it is really infuriating. Tang Ge, Li Gang and others were furious. It's hard to pay the water, so Wang Xiu met Lao Zhang.

Of course, Wang Xiu naturally wouldn't give Zhang Tonggu a good look, instead of a polite smile, there was clearly a strong murderous intent on his face.

Zhang Tonggu didn't seem to care, he kept talking about the sacred metaphor of the Great Jin Emperor and the Lord of the South of the Yangtze River, as if the Great Song Dynasty had really become a vassal.

Wang Xiu had been listening quietly, and when Zhang Tonggu paused, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a sinister smile, "Is the servant a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqing?"

Zhang Tonggu's face changed, isn't this a curse?The reign title of Tianqing is the reign title of the Lord of Liao, and Wang Xiu clearly called him a second official. Is there such a thing as humiliating?

He stared at Wang Xiu with a pair of goldfish eyes, and said unhappily: "This envoy is the envoy of the upper kingdom, and Wang Xianggong, who is in charge of the lower kingdom, dares to humiliate me. I wonder if the Southern Dynasty is a state of etiquette."

"Shangguo, Xiaguo, is it the Song Dynasty or the Daliao Dynasty?" Wang Xiu laughed unscrupulously, and he didn't take Zhang Tonggu seriously.

"Shangguo is a great gold, Wang Xianggong, don't try to cover it up." Zhang Tonggu's expression changed drastically. One of the ways to return Hebei is to become a minister. Wang Xiu is so arrogant, but he seems to have forgotten that the negotiations between the North and the South have not yet officially started.

"Jurchen only occupies a corner of the north. When did it become the Shang Kingdom? Oh, even if it is the Shang Kingdom, the Great Song Dynasty is the ruler of the world, and the family and the country are the world. Mr. Zhang was born as a Jinshi. He is so talented that he has penetrated the past and the present, so he should be able to tell the difference. .” Wang Xiu teased Zhang Tonggu tepidly.

How can Zhang Tonggu be Wang Xiu's opponent? He is thinking in the age of information explosion, so what if he is quick-witted?

"Hey, people's hearts are not ancient, so the fall of the Liao Dynasty was only ten years old, and human feelings are so cold and warm!" Wang Xiu sighed, as if she was mourning the heaven and the people.

Zhang Tonggu's face was pale, and he had to say that he still had ambitions back then. As a Han descendant of Jibei Mountain, he didn't think he was from the Song Dynasty, and he even disapproved of the decadent rule of the Liao Dynasty.Not long after he became an official, he saw the fate of the fall of the Liao Dynasty. He immediately used his father's death as an excuse to stay at home and avoid living in Xingping County.

The Song army took over Yanshan, and repeatedly recruited him to serve as the county guard, but he recognized that Da Song was also an embroidered pillow, but it was only a flash in the pan, and sooner or later he would be killed by the Jurchens, so he resisted his loneliness and refused in the name of mourning.

When Wulibu called, Liu Yanzongzhi, the Jurchen attendant at the time and a member of the Eastern Privy Council, recruited him. He applied for the recruitment almost without hesitation and became the minister of the Jurchen.

In fact, Wang Xiu also understands some things. It is very difficult for a corrupt regime to recruit talents, especially those with aspirations who accept outside thoughts will definitely yearn for the strong and realize their ambitions.

Scholars in the Song Dynasty defected to Xia and Khitan everywhere, and the emperor treated scholars favorably, and his career career was not unrelated to this.He doesn't dislike Zhang Tonggu, but he just can't understand this guy's tricks, and wants to take advantage of others, treating him like a carrot!

"Wang Xianggong, don't be quick to talk, Dajin's iron cavalry is the real thing." Zhang Tonggu said with a serious face.

"Then you have to cross the river. Last time, if the emperor hadn't cared about the world and pitied the people in the north and south, Wushu wouldn't be able to go back. Well, just say what you have to say, and listen!" Wang Xiu's face turned pale. Shen down said.

Zhang Tonggu knew that he had encountered a difficult problem, Wang Xiu's name was very famous, and it was often mentioned among the Jurchen noble chiefs that he was a figure in the real power faction, and he didn't buy him at all, but he didn't know what to do.

"Being a man but keeping a line, your envoy knows how many heroes are sharpening their knives outside the post and stalking pigs and sheep? If it weren't for the kindness of the officials, the princes of the two governments have said a few good things for you, and your envoy can sit here?" Wang Xiu smiled disdainfully. He never looked down on Zhang Tonggu from the beginning, but he was a villain who wanted to show off in front of the emperor of the Han family and satisfy his own selfish desires.

Zhang Tonggu's face turned red and then pale, he really had the intention of showing off, the great gold was given to Da Song Hebei, the Zhao family's monarchs and ministers would definitely welcome him from a distance, flatter him with all their strength, and never expected to encounter a difficult problem.

He was not a fool either, he calmed down and sat down slowly, staring at Wang Xiu with a pair of eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I thought that the Southern Dynasty was a country of etiquette, but I didn't expect that there were some vulgar and arrogant people outside, which is really disappointing."

Wang Xiu glanced at Zhang Tonggu strangely, with contempt on his face, and said indifferently: "Erlang of the Han family is bloody, how can he be ignorant and barbarian Di can know, if you talk about those thieves who have forgotten their ancestors, I am afraid they don't know what loyalty is." .”

Seeing Wang Xiu scolding him, Zhang Tonggu got up immediately, with a very unsightly expression on his face: "Mr. Wang, be careful with your words."

Wang Xiu frowned, and smiled indifferently. He didn't care about Zhang Tonggu's anger at all, and said freely: "I heard that your left deputy Marshal Lang Jun is training soldiers and horses in Yanshan Mansion. Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Tonggu was stunned, the title of Yanshan Mansion was obviously to lure him into the trap, although this trick is not serious, but he must not give up the truth, he said bitterly: "Your Majesty is dispatching troops in Daxing Mansion, preparing to raise troops at the end of the year Hunting, but also to invite the country's lord and minister to join us."

Wang Xiu frowned, and said with a faint smile: "Wu Shuguo is worthy of being a close friend. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of Hebei Junzhou, he used heavy troops to suppress the wrongdoers. I am really grateful! Forget it, I owe him a favor." , it invites him to have a drink in Shangjing every day, so he won’t be allowed to come to the ancestral temple.”

Zhang Tonggu couldn't refute the dispute of words, even he didn't know the intention of Wushu stationed troops outside Hebei.

"Okay, the strike between the north and the south is a great merit to the people of the world." Wang Xiu thought it was quite interesting, so she simply played with Zhang Tonggu.
