My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 346 Xixia, Lingwu

The sky is full of stars, and the night sky is vast.

Tiger God Guards lit a bonfire in the camp outside Dingyuan City.

But the entire camp was silent, which showed how strict the Tiger Guard's military discipline was.

There is no cheerful food feast and happy indulgence after the long-term raid and march. Except that they no longer eat fried noodles for dinner, they replaced it with a meat meal. For the soldiers of the Tiger God Guard, there is no big change from usual.

Beside the bonfire, Wang Lin sat there looking up at the starry sky.

After a long time, he slowly lowered his head to look at the Uighur woman Yilu who was kneeling beside him.

He didn't see any awe in the woman's eyes, in fact, Yilu could only understand that he was a nobleman of Song Dynasty named Wang Ye.

Or high officials.

As for how honorable it is, she has no idea.

There is only darkness and hatred in her eyes.

He knew that this was a woman of different races with a lot of stories.

Only in her 20s, she already has an aged appearance of 50 to [-] years old, which is enough to explain her past life circumstances.

It is impossible for him to trust a woman of a different race just because of a word.In fact, what Yilu said, he has ordered someone to find out the result.

On this night, Yan Qing had passed down many of his military orders.

His overall plan, therefore, has changed dramatically.

"Yilu, why did you say these things to me?"

Yilu knelt there thinking about his own thoughts, when suddenly Wang Lin's soft and slightly indifferent voice came into his ear, and he couldn't help but reply: "Go back to the lord, as long as the lord kills the official in Dingyuan City, he will avenge my whole family." , I am willing to lead the way for your army."

The psychological logic and discourse logic of this alien woman are obviously simpler than that of the Han people. They basically say whatever comes to mind, without too many twists and turns in their stomachs.

When she said this, Wang Lin felt that it was more real.

"What crime did Ma Wensheng commit?"

"My lord, the officials of Dingyuan City colluded with the Xixia people, and put all the skins from the tariffs into his own pockets, and even trafficked people... There are at least 100 vegetable people like me in the city. The poor man who was taken captive, please help the prince!"

Yilu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"My lord, they not only trafficked people from other races into the Song Dynasty, but also sold Song women to the Western Xia royal city and more distant western countries. If you don't believe me, you can go to the city to search, and many of the officials' back houses have been locked up."

Wang Lin's eyes narrowed: "Song people also sell it?!"

Yilu seemed to think of the tragic situation of many sisters, and said through gritted teeth: "He resold me to Haru, and I stayed in his back house for a few days, and there were many Song people imprisoned in the cellar of the back house." woman."

Murderous intent flashed in Wang Lin's eyes.

If it's purely the chaos at the border, and foreign people selling foreign people, he actually doesn't bother to take care of it.

Because it is impossible for him to stay at the border for a long time, once he leaves, everything will return to the original state.

But this does not mean that he can tolerate Ma Wensheng and his gang of thieves taking his compatriots and sisters to foreign countries as obstinate things.

Wang Lin knew that most of Yilu's words were true, so he winked at Yan Qing, and Yan Qing ordered someone to investigate.

"You said just now that you want this king to avenge your whole family. Did your whole family... also die at the hands of the Han officials?"

Yilu shook his head: "No, my parents, husband, and daughter's family all died at the hands of the Li family, a great merchant in Xixia. They made me fall into the Song Kingdom..."

Yilu's shoulders trembled violently, but there were no tears in her eyes, obviously her tears had dried up.

Wang Lin's heart moved secretly, he thought of the jade formula that Li Shishi gave him, and the daughter of the great merchant of Xixia named Li Lan.

Before dawn, five hundred tiger guards searched Dingyuan City for more than 100 imprisoned women of different races, as well as dozens of beautiful girls from the Song Dynasty.

Wang Lin immediately ordered Ma Wensheng and related Song officials and soldiers in Dingyuan City to be executed. At the same time, he ordered the local government to appoint another manpower to manage Dingyuan City.

……

May 29.

Wang Lin led [-] tiger guards, and under the banner of the King of Qi and the commander of the world's soldiers and horses, they openly stationed in Jingyuan City.

Liu Yanqing from Minglin Mansion and Qu Duan from Qin Feng each mobilized their troops to Jingyuan, and the time was set on the tenth day of June in the second year of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty.

On the same day, the marriage team protecting Chongde Emperor Ji also entered Jingyuan, and [-] cavalry led by Yue Fei had camped in Huichuan.

When she left Qingzhou, Chongde was at peace of mind. She knew that this was a false marriage to confuse the Xixia people. Wang Lin had already promised that she would never abandon her to the Xixia people.

But that being said, the closer she was to the land of Xixia, the more disturbed Empress Chongde's heart would be.

Feeling anxious and restless along the way, he entered Jingyuan City.

The movement of soldiers and horses in Song Kingdom and the news that Qi Wang Wanglin escorted Song and his envoys to Jingyuan naturally couldn't hide it from the Xixia people on the opposite side.

In fact, the Xixia mission that has just returned to the country is at Lingwu hundreds of miles away, and the Xixia army of [-] is basically deployed on the Songxia border line from Jingyuan to Linfu by remote control. It may cross the border at any time and go to The Song Dynasty declared war.

Therefore, Li Renai, the crown prince of Xixia, and Yelu Nanxian, the empress of Xixia, have nothing to fear.

Wang Lin actually came in person, which was an unexpected joy for Immortal Yelu Nan.

She wanted to take this opportunity to trample Wang Lin on the ground and humiliate her to pieces, even to pieces, in order to repay Wang Lin's hatred for kidnapping the royal family of Daliao.

This is the plan of their mother and son.

For Xixia Emperor Li Ganshun, these were small details. What he really cared about was how to take advantage of the rise of the Jin Dynasty and take advantage of the situation to seize a piece of the fertile land of the Song Dynasty, but he did not necessarily agree to easily declare war on the Song Dynasty.

The Xixia official system is basically the same as that of the Song Dynasty.

Zhongshu is in charge of administration, and his subordinates include servants, Sanqi Changshi, admonishing doctors, Sheren, Sijian and other officials.

The privy secretaries and the Zhongshu hold the two handles of civil and military affairs, and are in charge of the country's military and border defenses. They belong to the privy secretaries, Tongzhi, deputy envoys, Qianshu, Chengzhi and other officials.

The third department is in charge of the national financial tribute, and its subordinates include the official envoy, the deputy envoy, the salt and iron envoy, and the Duzhi envoy.

Yushitai is in charge of judicial supervision, and its subordinates include officials such as Yushi Dafu, Yushi Zhongcheng, Dianzhong Yushi, and Supervisory Yushi.

Regarding the plans and plans of Yelu Nanxian's mother and son, there are actually quite a few voices of opposition in Xixia, such as the group headed by the second prince Li Renxiao.

In Lingwu Mansion Yamen, Li Renai sat behind the official case, and his mother, Empress Yelu Nanxian of Xixia, sat beside her.

Below are the two classes of civil and military officials.

Li Renai looked deeply at the Zhongshu servant, Cao Kun, a Han, and said softly: "Cao Shilang, please order people to connect with the Song State quickly, so that the Song people and the princess can enter my Great Xia. By the way, we must let the Song State The king of Qi, Wang Lin, personally escorted the mission into our country, and said that the crown prince is going to marry Princess Song in Lingwu, and he is invited to watch the ceremony."

Cao Kun frowned and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, King Qi of the Song Dynasty guards the marriage of the Emperor Ji of the Song Dynasty. It is not up to our country to decide whether he will come to our country or not."

Li Renai sneered: "As the peace ambassador of the Song Dynasty, how can he not enter our country? If so, it can be regarded as the Song Dynasty's rudeness and contempt for our Great Xia. He should send troops to conquer him!"

Cao Kun is the elder brother of Concubine Cao, the biological mother of the second prince Li Renxiao.

Of course he knew what Li Ren'ai's mother and son wanted to do, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart when he heard the words, and deceived King Qi of Song Dynasty into Xia Zhuzhi in the name of marriage.

That Wang Lin, who is known as the guardian of the Song Dynasty, is both civil and military, absolutely extraordinary, how can he be at your mercy?

But Cao Kun knew that Li Ren's love was powerful at the moment, and he had the emperor's acquiescence, so it was not appropriate to contradict him face to face, so he said silently: "Since His Highness insists on this, then I will order someone to contact Song to convey His Highness's order."

The Privy Council and Zhijing Jing came out of the squad and clasped their fists together: "Your Highness, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty have changed. The soldiers and horses of Qin Feng and Linfu seem to be coming to Jingyuan, and there is also a large army in the Song Dynasty that is going to Jingyuan. Your Highness, take precautions early."

Li Renai snorted: "Liu Yanqing of the Lin Mansion, together with Qin Feng's Qu Duan, is known as a [-] army, but in fact most of them are local Xiang troops who are not capable of fighting. With this number of troops, I want to be able to carry my Great Xia." One hundred thousand elites, isn't it just a dream?"

"Don't worry about it. After the prince and his marriage are over, I will lead all the generals to herd horses and go straight to the fertile land in the west of Hexi!"

"Founding the country and expanding the border, success is in one fell swoop!"

Jing Jing and Cao Kun looked at each other, without further words, they stood up and led the crowd to bow and shouted: "Your Highness is wise!"

Just out of the Lingwu mansion, Cao Kun couldn't help but grabbed Jing Jing's arm, dragged him aside and said in a low voice: "Jing Tongzhi, this is a good opportunity to attack the Song Dynasty. You and other generals are blindly flattering the prince. Big Xia has caused a catastrophe!"

Jing Jing laughed: "Cao Shilang, you Han people are not good at this. You always look forward and backward when doing things, and you are afraid of wolves and tigers! Jin Guo destroyed Liao, my Great Xia and Jin Guo have reached an agreement, and Song Guo is now the chopping board. What is the meaning of the meat on the table?"

"Jing Tongzhi, I'm afraid I can't say that. Although Song's army and horses are not inferior to Jin's, they may not be slaughtered. Not long ago, didn't Song's King of Qi, Wang Lin, lead his troops to win two battles with Jin?"

"It's just a sneak attack. If you fight head-on, Song soldiers are by no means opponents of Jin's iron cavalry."

"Song State's troops in Hedong and Hebei did not dare to move rashly, because they still had to defend against the Jin people. And once the war started, if the Jin State invaded southward, our Daxia could take advantage of the situation and take the land of Hexi in one go. Double the size of the map!"

Jing Jing glanced at Cao Kun meaningfully, and said calmly: "Cao Shilang, I know that you are the second prince's uncle, but you have to understand that in today's summer, the crown prince is in charge of the situation, and righteousness is also in the crown prince. The key is that your majesty's favor is also in the crown prince. The second prince has no chance at all, you'd better make up your mind!"

"Besides, avenging the empress's family members is something His Majesty promised the Empress. Anyone who obstructs this matter will become the enemy of the Empress and the Crown Prince. You have to think about the consequences."

After Jing Jing finished speaking, he walked away.

Cao Kun stood there in a daze, and suddenly sneered.

To avenge a so-called family feud for a woman, and to raise up the whole country's soldiers, not to mention other things, just because of this alone, Prince Li Ren'ai is not worthy to be the Lord of Xixia!
Since Li Ren'ai and Yelu Nanxian are determined to go their own way, let's read the libretto on a donkey and wait and see.

Just as Cao Kun was about to go to his residence, he suddenly heard the commotion of people and horses in the city, he regained his composure, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The second prince, Li Renxiao has arrived.
