Great Song Pirate

Chapter 645 Breaking
The hall suddenly fell into silence. Zhao Xu didn't speak, and Xu Yi didn't take the initiative to speak. The two just looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird. Zhang Hu stood aside, frowning, he I don't understand, why suddenly, the Holy One and this Xu Yi became so strange.

After a long time, Zhao Xu sighed and said: "Young Master Xu came to Bianliang this time, but do you want to persuade me to continue the Northern Expedition? If so, there is no need to say any more. My intention has been decided, and this matter cannot be changed!"
I know that doing this is unfair to you and your subordinates, but for the sake of Da Song Sheji, I have to do this!As a subject of Song Dynasty, I hope you can understand my embarrassment!As for you and your subordinates, I will reward you in the future as appropriate!
But don't worry, I am not a cowardly person like my father and brother, as long as I stabilize the domestic situation, I will be ashamed of the Song Dynasty! "

After Xu Yi heard Zhao Xu's words, he suddenly felt that he had lost the mood to continue persuading Zhao Xu. The matter had come to this point, and it was useless to talk too much!So he also sighed and said: "Since the holy will has been decided, the grassroots will not say much! I just beg the Holy One to open the docks of the coastal state capital, and take back the orders not to support our army. The strength of an army is going to fight against the siege of hundreds of thousands of Jin army, and now it is winter, and there is an urgent need for supplies of food, fodder and supplies. If even this is cut off, then the Fubo army will be difficult to support! And please ask the Holy Majesty Give Yiqing back to me. I have been married to Yiqing for many years. I have treated each other like a guest and loved each other these years, and Yiqing has given birth to a daughter. I am still waiting for my mother to go back. Apart from that, Caomin has nothing to ask for. Already!"

Zhao Xu looked at Xu Yi, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. After meeting today, he had an indescribable premonition that this time might be the last time he met Xu Yi. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "Now I'm going to Just reached an agreement with Jin Guo, Jin Guoqiang asked Da Song to stop supporting your Fubo army, otherwise it will be regarded as Da Song breaking the contract. Now Da Song is swaying in the wind and rain, and it is time to recharge your batteries. It is dangerous to defend. Once the Kingdom of Jin turns against its enemies again, it will definitely go straight in again. I have to do this. I must use this time to revive the imperial court and strengthen the defensive power in the north. There are many Jin people in our country. If I withdraw my life If it is said, it will definitely make the Jin people furious. Before they are ready, Da Song is not the opponent of the Jin people!

The Fubo Army has meritorious service, and I will never forget it, but it will take a while, and I hope you can lead the Fubo Army soldiers through this period of time. When I am ready, I will immediately start the Northern Expedition, At that time, no matter you or your subordinates, I will reward you heavily!
As for the matter of Yiqing, I already know about it. I am just a caring relative. Although you are married, this matter is related to the face of the royal family after all. If it gets out, it will really damage the face of the royal family. Leading the army in Liaodong to fight against gold, Yiqing will stay by my side for the time being. After you become famous, I will return Yiqing to you and reward you heavily. At that time, the people of the world will be grateful for all you have done Because, I won't say anything more! "

After listening to Zhao Xu's words, Xu Yi's complexion immediately sank. Zhao Xu was clearly taking Yiqing as a hostage, threatening him and letting him lead the army to hold back the Jin army in the Liaodong area. He was worried about him. !He made these two requests by himself, but Zhao Xu turned them all down, so wouldn't his trip be in vain?
Xu Yi couldn't help but sneered, got up and said to Zhao Xu: "Since the Holy Majesty said so, the grass people have nothing to do. If the Fubo Army doesn't have the support of Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be the Fubo Army fighting against the gold alone?" ? After repeated fierce battles, the Fubo army has been exhausted and suffered heavy casualties. It is extremely difficult to resist the onslaught of the Jin army in Liaodong this winter, and the grasslanders have no choice but to withdraw from Liaodong!"

When Zhao Xu heard that Xu Yi was going to withdraw his troops from Liaodong, his heart trembled. In fact, he knew very well that the purpose of Jin Guo to reach a peace agreement with them was to return to Liaodong and clear the Fubo army out of the Liaodong area. If there was no Fubo If the Jin army restrained a large number of Jin troops in Liaodong, they would not turn around immediately and continue to attack the Song Dynasty!In his opinion, the northern armies of the Great Song Dynasty are far from ready to fight against the Jin army again. Once the Fubo army withdraws from Liaodong, his hope of recuperating the national power will be in vain!Isn't Da Song in danger?

"No! This is absolutely impossible! Now Da Song needs you to restrain the Jin people in Liaodong and buy Da Song some time to recuperate. Once you withdraw from Liaodong, won't the Jin people turn around and attack Da Song again? This is absolutely impossible!" Zhao Xu told the truth in a hurry.

Xu Yi sneered slightly and said: "This grassroots naturally knows, but the Holy One has cut off even the most basic support from the Fubo Army. How can the Fubo Army alone resist the golden army's iron hooves? Fubo Army soldiers also People, is it possible to do it even if you know you can't do it?
Once they heard the news, their morale would be greatly reduced. Even if the ants cherish their lives, the soldiers of the Fubo Army are also human beings, so how could they not cherish their lives?At that time, they will definitely make a fuss to withdraw from Liaodong. At that time, even the grassroots may not be able to suppress them. "

"Bold Xu Yi! It's always been said that the king let the minister die and the minister had to die. Now that the Holy One needs you, how dare you be so presumptuous? As the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, you should fight to the death for the Great Song Dynasty. The Holy Majesty has already said that you will be rewarded heavily in the future! How dare you do this..." A guard of Zhao Xu saw Xu Yi's disrespectful expression towards Zhao Xu, so he couldn't help but scolded Xu Yi.

"Bold! I'm talking to Mr. Xu, why don't you step back?" Zhao Xu immediately yelled at the guard.

The guard hurriedly bowed to apologize, and then backed out of the hall.

"Xu Aiqing is serious! I didn't mean that. Xu Aiqing misunderstood this matter. Although I have reached an agreement with the Jin people, I didn't say that I would definitely not support you. The reason why I want to make an order is just to do it for Jin." It’s all for people to see! Since you have already said it, I will agree to you! If you continue to fight against gold in Liaodong, I can draw up a secret decree, ordering the state capitals in several coastal places to continue to deliver supplies to support you That's it! At this time, the Fubo army must disregard the overall situation and withdraw from Liaodong!" After Zhao Xu smiled dryly, his attitude softened. The Xu Gongzi who was called just now has become Ai Qing .

Xu Yi saw what Zhao Xu said, so he nodded, gave Zhao Xu a step, and said to him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Caomin. If this is the case, then Caomin can still lead the army to stay in Liaodong. It's just Yiqing's matter, I hope His Majesty will show her a noble hand and let her and Caomin go back, after all, the little girl is still waiting for her mother to return!"

After Zhao Xu heard about it, he felt that Xu Yi's agreement was very reluctant, so he was even more reluctant to return Yiqing to Xu Yi. Once Xu Yi took Yiqing away, if he went back on his word and led the army to withdraw from Liaodong, his wish Isn't the abacus tantamount to empty space?This is tantamount to losing his wife and losing his army!

"I've already said that Yiqing is a princess. If you don't have a suitable reason, it would be a disgrace to the royal family if you take Yiqing away like this! Let Yiqing stay in the palace first, and Yiqing will not We have been away from home for many years, and our brothers and sisters have a good time together. After the next year, if Yiqing wants to go back, I will send someone to send her back to your home! There is no need to talk about Xu Aiqing! Now Liaodong must be a military affairs In case of emergency, Xu Aiqing should return to Liaodong as soon as possible to sit in town, and she must not be taken advantage of by the Jinren!" Zhao Xu himself didn't know how he said these words, anyway, he made up his mind not to take Yiqing so easily. Return it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi's heart is getting colder and colder. Zhao Xu, who has always been valued by him, has become like this today. There is no trust between the two of them now. Zhao Xu knows that Yiqing is making trouble to go home. But to force her to stay, the purpose is already obvious.

Xu Yi was really angry. After thinking about it for a while, his voice became cold: "Is Your Majesty really unwilling to let Yiqing go with the grass people?"

Zhao Xu looked at Xu Yi's unfriendly expression, so he also lowered his face, nodded and said: "There is no need to talk about this matter again!"

"That's good! It's just that Caomin also wants to remind the emperor that Yiqing is very famous in the Fubo army. If the emperor refuses to release Yiqing, Caominbao is not sure what the consequences will be!" Xu Yi said coldly. Said.

Zhao Xu finally couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Are you threatening me?"

Xu Yi didn't answer, but just sneered.

"Yiqing is my imperial sister. Is it wrong for me to leave her temporarily in Beijing? Tell me!" Zhao Xu asked in displeasure seeing Xu Yi's attitude.

"Caomin dare not! It's just a reminder to the saint!" Xu Yi didn't show any fear because Zhao Xu was unhappy.

"Presumptuous! Although you did do some things for me, Da Song, I gave you what I should have given you, but you refused to accept my bestowal. Why? Passing by the merchant ship, I have never pursued this matter. Now I want you to lead the army to fight against the gold in Liaodong, but you push back and forth. I want to keep the imperial sister in the capital temporarily, but you are cold-hearted! Do you really think that I will take it? Don't you have anything to do? If that's the case, then I don't think you need to go back! Zhang Hu, take Xu Yi into the dungeon, and I want to see what waves you can make!" Zhao Xu was really caught by Xu Yi. Yi's attitude angered!

Zhang Hu was a little dumbfounded. A couple of friends a few years ago, why did they meet for a while today and then turned their faces?And the Holy One actually wants to arrest Xu Yi himself, it will be troublesome if this matter continues!

But the sacred order is hard to break. Although Zhang Hu didn't want to see Zhao Xu and Xu Yi turn against each other, he had no choice but to walk towards Xu Yi. In the posture of dying, seeing Zhang Hu and several guards walking towards him helplessly, he smiled and said: "The Holy Majesty is really majestic! Since the Holy Majesty wants to arrest the grassroots, then just do it, but I would also like to remind you, the soldiers of the Fubo Army are waiting for the Caomin to go back! If the Caomin do not return to the sea within ten days, they are likely to turn to the Jin people. Although the Fubo Army is not many, But the Holy Majesty also has to think about the consequences. Since the Fubo Army invaded Liaodong, the Jin Army has lost nearly 20 soldiers and horses. Once these soldiers belong to the Jin Army, then I don’t know what they can do!
Another thing is that there is a fleet of Fubo Army on the sea, waiting for Caomin and the princess. If they learn that Caomin has been arrested, then the ships in Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Yangzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places may want to go to sea again. But it is difficult!The grassroots don't want to threaten the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty forced this matter!The grass people are also helpless! "

After hearing Xu Yi's words, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little shuddering. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were beaten back in front of the Jin army and lost a large area of ​​land, but the Jin army was defeated in front of the Fubo army. It can be seen that Fubo The combat power of the army is by no means inferior to that of the Jin army. If what Xu Yi said is true, if the Fubo army disperses after hearing Xu Yi's arrest, once they switch to the Jin country, they will turn their heads to deal with their own Song Dynasty. Then who can stop them?
Moreover, he had already heard that the Fubo army was prospering on the sea, and dared to attack Annan and Champo countries, and later went north to attack the Wa country. It is definitely a force that cannot be provoked at sea. It's alarmist, once his subordinates hear that Xu Yi has been arrested, they may really dare to rise up and attack the state capitals along the coast. If the time comes, Song Zhenbao will be tossed and finished by the Fubo army!

After a few quick turns in his mind, Zhao Xu suppressed the anger in his heart, waved Zhang Hu aside, and said with a smile: "You and my friend who can talk about everything, how could I really arrest you? Just now I I was just joking with you, Xu Aiqing must not take it seriously! Actually, I just want Yiqing to stay in Bianliang for a few more days. Since you want to take Yiqing away this time, how can I let you husband and wife What about the distance between the two places? But Xu Aiqing, you must do what you promised me, and Liaodong cannot give up easily!"

Zhao Xu's complexion changed really fast enough. Just now he wanted to question him aggressively, but now he immediately agreed to return Yiqing to him. Xu Yi knew that Zhao Xu was really frightened by him, so he knelt down and thanked him: " Caomin thanked His Majesty. As long as Caomin still has breath, he will swear that he will never withdraw from Liaodong, or do things that are sorry for the Song Dynasty. Please rest assured, Liaodong is the place where Caomin's brothers exchanged blood. As long as the Holy One can continue to give Caomin With support, Caomin will never give up there!"

Seeing that Xu Yi vowed never to quit Liaodong, Zhao Xu felt relieved at last, and asked Xu Yi to sit down again, and made some friendship with Xu Yi, but although both of them were smiling and sighing, But they all knew that from now on, the two could never be friends again!

After chatting with Xu Yi for a while, Zhao Xu ordered a banquet for Xu Yi in the Zhanghu Hall, but Xu Yi declined politely. Xu Yi got up and said, "Thank you, the sage, for the kindness of the emperor. Now that the situation in Liaodong is tense, the grass people are really worried about the people there. The thing is, I want to return to Liaodong as soon as possible, and sit in Liaodong to fight against the Jin army. I also hope that the Holy One can understand Caomin's feelings and let Yiqing and Caomin return to Liaodong as soon as possible! As for the banquet, let's wait until the Caomin hold Liaodong firmly!"

After Zhao Xu laughed a few times, he nodded and said hypocritically: "Xu Aiqing really cares about state affairs, and she doesn't even want to waste time drinking with me. If there are more people like you in Da Song, how can Da Song be so happy?" Worry can't regain the lost ground? Since Xu Aiqing's heart is like an arrow, then I won't force you to stay!

Zhang Hu, invite Princess Yiqing to come over, and say that I will send her and Xu Aiqing away from Beijing, and give Xu Aiqing a thousand taels of gold and a thousand pieces of brocade as rewards for the soldiers of Liaodong!Hurry up and get ready to send Xu Aiqing and Princess Yiqing away from Bianliang!After the coming year, I will definitely reward Xu Aiqing and the soldiers of the Fubo Army heavily! "

After Zhang Hu received the decree, he turned around and walked out of the hall. He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. Even he could tell that Zhao Xu had completely broken his face with Xu Yi this time. How did things get so troublesome? What about this level?He can't figure it out!
Soon, Yiqing followed Zhang Hu to the main hall. As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw the figure she thought about day and night at a glance. Zhang Hu really didn't lie to her, and Xu Yi actually took the risk to come to Bianliang City I came to pick her up, so I didn't care about the indecency, lifted up the palace skirt, and ran towards Xu Yi in a hurry. When she came to Xu Yi, tears fell down, trembling. Shouted: "Xu Lang! Why are you here?"

Xu Yi held Yiqing's trembling hands with a smile, and said with a smile, "Qian'er, it's been a long time since you came back to visit your relatives. My husband came here to pick you up in person! Hehe!"

Zhao Xu also came out from behind the dragon case at this time, and said with a smile, "Your sister is really a blessed person! Brother Huang is also happy for you to have a man who loves you so much! If it wasn't for me, I would keep you so much." If you stay for a few days, it is really not easy to meet Xu Aiqing! Now that I have met Xu Aiqing, you and your wife can leave Bianliang, but you must remember that when you look back, you will take my Bring me my little niece, let me take a good look at it, although I haven't seen her before, I can predict that she must be a little beauty!"

After Yiqing saw Xu Yi, why was she still in the mood to be angry with Zhao Xu at this moment!So he quickly bowed down and thanked Zhao Xu, who was picked up by Zhao Xu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping Caomin. Caomin has important work to do now, so I won't bother you anymore. Caomin will leave now. I wonder if Your Majesty has any other orders?" Xu Yi took Yiqing's hand and said goodbye to Zhao Xu again.

Zhao Xu walked up to hold Xu Yi and Yiqing's hands affectionately, and personally sent Xu Yi and Zhao Xu out of the palace. When he reached the gate of the palace, he told Xu Yi again: "Xu Aiqing must never forget you!" My promise! I will hand over my imperial sister to you, but don't let her suffer any grievances, otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

Xu Yi also replied with a smile on his face: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, Yiqing is my beloved wife, how can Caomin let her suffer a little bit of grievance? As for the things agreed, Caomin will never break his promise, as long as the Holy Majesty will not forget Our agreement is good!"

Looking at the backs of Xu Yi and Yiqing who were leaving hand in hand, the smile on Zhao Xu's face gradually disappeared, revealing a gloomy look, until Xu Yi and Yiqing were no longer in sight, he put his hand behind his back and called Said: "Zhang Hu! You find a new face, take a group of the most reliable men, go out of the city immediately, pretend to be rioters, and set up an ambush on the road they must pass. After they leave Bianliang, you must stop them on the way and take Xu Yi Bring me back his head!"

Zhang Hu was stunned for a while, and said in shock: "Your Majesty! Do you really want to kill Mr. Xu?"

Zhao Xu said coldly: "If this person is not eliminated, it will become a serious disaster in the future! Once he is allowed to go out to sea, he will enter the sea like a dragon. If he wants to eliminate this person again, I am afraid there will be no chance again!"

Zhang Hu still hesitated and said: "Then if Xu Yi dies, if the Fubo Army of Liaodong takes their anger on the Holy One, and their generals lead the troops to join the Jinren, wouldn't that be a big mistake for His Majesty?"

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you do it cleanly and plant this matter in the hands of the Jinren afterwards, his generals might fight desperately with the Jinren in Liaodong. There is no need for them to persist for too long. As long as they survive this winter, we will have time to regroup the army. At that time, I am afraid that the Jin army and the Fubo army will fight to lose both sides. Jin Guo wants to attack our Song Dynasty again. I don’t have that strength anymore! When the time comes to recover the lost ground, isn’t it something that can be easily achieved? You must not be kind to a woman in this matter, hurry up and prepare!”

Zhang Hu gritted his teeth, his heart was tumbling, but in the end he still had no choice but to accept the order, and just asked again: "But what does the Holy Majesty intend for Princess Yiqing?"

A look of pain flashed across Zhao Xu's face, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and replied, "If you can live, you can bring it back, but if you can't, you should know what to do!" After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves, Walk towards the hall.

Zhang Hu felt a chill in his heart. Yiqing was Zhao Xu's most beloved sister, but she wanted to get rid of her with a ruthless hand. Could it be that after a person became the emperor, his temperament changed completely?Zhao Xu was not such a vicious person before!Why did such a big change happen after he had just been the emperor for a few months?It's a pity that Xu Yi is such a talented person!Such a good talent can't be used by the Holy Majesty, but he has to arrange it himself and kill him!What kind of world is this!

Zhang Hu couldn't figure it out, but he knew that he had to follow Zhao Xu's orders, so he sighed and hurriedly walked outside the palace.

(After reading today's book review section, I really have the heart to swing a knife from the palace! I am speechless! Continue to update!)
