Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 340 Khitan's Envoy
"General Xiao just speak up if he has something to say, the prime minister has shown me a great favor, how can I not repay it."

Xiao Tianzuo stared at him and slowly opened his mouth and said, "I wonder if His Highness King Qi can also give the Prime Minister a promotion, just say that the Prime Minister has outstanding achievements and can be given the gift of nine tins!"

After Xiao Tianzuo finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Dezhao closely to see how he reacted.

Zhao Dezhao smiled slightly. He had heard of these stories in his previous life, but he never thought that they would come to him in this life to open his mouth.

"General Xiao! I'm telling the truth."

Zhao Dezhao deliberately lowered his voice.

"Originally, I thought that King Xiao was not worthy. It is obviously inappropriate to mention this now, but now, since the Prime Minister has put so much effort into my title and title, then I am worthy of everything. However, I don't think I can say it now, because now I just got promoted to the title that the prime minister helped me fight for, and I backhandedly like it back. People will see that the two of us are colluding. It's too ugly to eat like that. I suggest, wait for half a year Afterwards, I will personally publish the book, talk about this matter, and guarantee that the book will pass.”

Xiao Tianzuo narrowed his eyes, and said with a blunt smile, "His Royal Highness Qi is just joking. The position of King Qin is not necessary now. My prime minister has worked hard to win this position for Mr. Liu..."

Zhao Dezhao suddenly laughed three times and interrupted Xiao Tianzuo's words, "General Xiao drank too much and became confused. Whether the position of King Qin should be available or not is not something you, General Xiao, can talk nonsense about here. Even your King Xiao, It’s also because of weakness. Come here! Get General Xiao down and let him rest early.”

Gao Huaide and Wang Zilong immediately stepped forward, one left and one right, and carried him out.

Xiao Tianzuo was full of anger, and wanted to struggle, but then he realized that Sha and Xing had all the strength in his body, and he couldn't escape. Finally, he realized that this was Zhao Dezhao's territory, so he swallowed his anger and went back to rest up.

Xiao Tianzuo stayed in Song Dynasty for three days, and returned to Shangjing full of anger.

After hearing his report, Xiao Tarase was also secretly angry in his heart, he never thought that Zhao Dezhao would behave like a good boy when he took advantage of it, and he didn't know how to reciprocate his kindness.

"Little bastard! When I clean you up, let's see if you dare to do this to me."

"Prime Minister! Zhao Dezhao doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, please bring a team to punish this boy who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong!"

Xiao Tianyou pleaded angrily.

"My lord! About Jiuxi, please let your family talk about it. Outsiders are unreliable. Duan Xuequan from Dali actually sneered at our envoy, saying what he said here. He really doesn't know how to flatter him." Said the counselor Xun Yu.

"Duan Xuequan is also against the old man?"

Xiao Tarase was furious, "After Xiliang was wiped out, the old man is worrying that he has no opponent. The next step is to fight Dali."

He glanced at the counselors and said, "What do you think?"

Immediately, some people agreed, but others raised different opinions, saying that it would be better to beat Li Chengsi, and others said that Tong Qinghui should be beaten first.

But in the end, it was hoped that Duan Xuequan would be the most defeated and had the upper hand.

"Prepare to reorganize the army! I will go south to Dali with the old man soon!"

Xiao Tarase ordered solemnly.

In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dezhao had just stabilized for a few days when he suddenly received a report that a batch of supplies entering Sichuan had been robbed.

After taking Yizhou, because it is the land of abundance, Zhao Dezhao has been building for the development of Yizhou.

However, there are many traffic problems in this era, and the construction is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

What was robbed this time were the construction materials, money and food for the Chengdu palace.

It is said to be a palace, but in fact Zhao Dezhao is planning to build a large-scale high-end residence in Chengdu.

Because Zhou Mu is the emperor of the earth, some people call it the palace.

Qian Niu'er has been busy with this matter recently, but in the northeast of Yizhou, he was robbed by the wandering warriors led by Lan Yiyun, a former Xiliang military officer who had just been killed by Xiao Tarase.

Lan Yiyun and Lan Yihai are the cavalry generals of Xiliang. After being defeated by Xiao Tarase some time ago, they gathered some remnants and wandered around the borders of Xiliang, Yizhou, and Hanzhong to disturb the people.

Since they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, Yizhou has nothing to do with them.

When Zhao Dezhao heard the news, he remembered the ten thousand cavalry team that was given to Wang Zixing, a returnee from the Shanyue bandit, for training some time ago.

Time is not short now, why not bring this batch of newly trained qualified cavalry to exterminate this Xiliang cavalry bandit.

He immediately ordered Gao Huaide and Wang Zixing to follow him and lead three thousand cavalry to Yizhou to suppress the bandits.

Now Jiaozhou and Nanyue have settled down, and Gao Huaide has also been tempered to a certain extent. Zhao Dezhao is going to take him with him to see the wider world.

Zhao Dezhao did not bring more troops. He felt that three thousand cavalry were enough. Among them, the thousand-man team led by Gao Huaide became the Zhenwu Army, and the thousand-man team led by Wang Zixing became Wangziying. He personally led the thousand-man team , called the Guards Camp.

Three thousand-man troops, all composed of light cavalry, marched towards the northeast of Yizhou like a whirlwind.

What Lan Yiyun robbed were all important materials for the construction of the Chengdu Palace.

In order to build the magnificent buildings of the scale, a large amount of related materials need to be brought into Sichuan every day, and what is exchanged for them is the same large amount of money and food.

Lan Yiyun's original goal was money and food, but his information was wrong, and he actually robbed the supplies by mistake.

He didn't know about the turmoil it caused, but he knew that these supplies couldn't be used as food, so Lan Yiyun was also very anxious now. He even wanted to exchange these supplies for the money and grain escorted by the money and grain teams in the district.

So soon, someone actually took the initiative to contact him, saying that he wanted to exchange money and grain for the supplies, and asked him to wait at Shajin Ferry at the Yellow River Ferry.

After all, Lan Yiyun is a barbarian, with a simple mind, and he believed that he went to Shajindu.

Of course, he doesn't completely trust outsiders, what he trusts more is his own strength.

Originally, there were [-] bandits under his command, half of which was given to his elder brother Lan Yihai, and his own half, believed to be the most powerful existence in this uninvolved area.

Moreover, Lan Yiyun also had his own secret sentries, which were scattered around. Once the Yizhou army came to encircle and suppress, he would immediately report back to hear the news that a large number of officers and troops had been mobilized from Yizhou.

As for Hanzhong, it was almost wiped out by Zhao Dezhao some time ago, and the number of cavalry is also limited, so I believe I dare not have any excessive thoughts on myself.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Dezhao also had his own intelligence line, which was more effective. It was Dong Wen, the Yizhou intelligence leader, who confused him to go to Shajindu.

He even couldn't guess that Zhao Dezhao's three cavalry came from behind, that is, from the direction of Song Dynasty, which directly caused his secret whistle to fail.

At dusk that day, the sun was setting in Shajindu, and the setting sun was like blood.

Lan Yiyun, who had been waiting for three days, was very anxious. It was okay to have no money, and without food, let alone people, horses couldn't bear it.

At this time, the spring grass has not yet grown, and the autumn grass has been exhausted, but there is still no news from the contacted redeemer.

He waited for a day, but failed again, so he had to return to the mountain forest where he lived with the supplies.

Suddenly, at the corner in front, a strong cavalry team appeared.

Lan Yiyun was startled, at first he thought it was his brother's team coming, but he immediately saw that the clothes were wrong, the opponent was all in orange armor, completely different from the gray and black Xiliang cavalry bandits.

From the formation, momentum, and power of the cavalry, Lan Yiyun could tell at a glance that this cavalry team was completely different from those he had encountered before.

"Array! Defend!" Lan Yiyun took off his spear and shouted with a wave of his arms.

"Who is that person opposite? Where does he come from?"
