Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"The next official has received an order to go on a mission to Song."

"Whose orders did you receive?"

"Duke Lu."

"Duke Lu sent you as an envoy to Song?"

"Yes."

"What right does Duke Lu have to send you as an envoy to Song?"

"A few days before going to Beijing, an order came, ordering the Duke of Lu to take charge of Yanyun's affairs temporarily." Xilin Helu said, "This matter is originally top secret, and the officials cannot tell the King of Wei."

"But you said it."

"The lower official just thinks that Duke Lu's policy of surrendering to Song is an insult to me, Da Jin!"

Jin Wushu laughed, how could he not know what happened in Yanjing?

Although he is not in Yanjing, he knows it well.

He put down the imperial decree in his hand, it was Wanyan Quan's imperial decree calling him back to Beijing.

"Then you still want to go to Song Kingdom?"

"The king of Wei asked the subordinate to go, and the subordinate will go, and the king of Wei will not let the subordinate go, and the subordinate will not go!"

"Go! Go see Yue Fei first, and give me a message!"

Chapter 1103 Yue Fei's Worries (Part [-])

"What do you want to bring, Your Highness?"

"You tell Yue Fei that this king is a person who cherishes talents, and the position of King Song of the Great Jin Dynasty has always been reserved for him."

Xilin Helu said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely bring this sentence to you."

Wu Shu patted Xilin Helu on the shoulder, and suddenly became serious: "Do you know what you might face when you go to Song State this time?"

Xilin Helu paused for a moment, and said seriously: "Song State has become more and more powerful in recent years. If Song State does not agree with our request to them, the officials may not be able to come back."

"Then you still want to go?"

"Go!" Xilin Helu said firmly, "It is the duty of the lower officials to be an envoy to Song, just as it is the duty of His Royal Highness King Wei to make the Great Jin strong."

Wu Shu was silent for a moment, and then said: "After going to Bianjing, do things cheaply."

"Yes." Xilin Helu said after saluting, "Your Highness, I will take my leave."

"Good to go."

Walking to the front of the tent, Xilinghelu turned around and said, "Your Highness, the remarks in Beijing are not very friendly to you."

"I know, this is my business, you go to complete yours, and don't need to ask more about the rest."

In the evening, Xue Yan strode into Yue Fei's camp, and said with a smile, "Yue Shuai, good news, Zhang Dutong has withdrawn to Bazhou."

Yue Fei took Xue Yan's battle report and looked, it was written by Zhang Xian.

After retreating from Jizhou, Zhang Xian's cavalry did not leave immediately, but entered the Xijin Mansion, stayed there for a while, and then went south again.

This is the benefit of cavalry, coming and going like the wind.

Although there is a lack of infantry, it is impossible to fight large-scale battles, but raids, transfers, and high-mobility retreats can all be skillfully operated.

"What's the trend of Jin Wushu?"

"The main force of the Golden Wushu has been in Yizhou and has not acted. Instead, I heard from the scouts lurking in Jizhou that a while ago, a large number of Jinjun troops went east and entered Pingzhou and Yingzhou."

Yue Fei said: "That's the Jin army going to the Liaodong battlefield. The Liaodong battlefield should have been fought by now, but I don't know how the battle is going."

"Yue Shuai, I heard some news from the capital this morning, and I don't know what to say."

Yue Fei laughed and said: "Why are you hesitating, this is not like you, Xue Yan!"

"The lower official heard that the princes of the court are discussing important state affairs recently."

Yue Fei said: "That is a matter for the princes of the court."

"It's about military affairs, Yue Shuai, you are the deputy envoy of the Privy Council."

"What military policy?"

"Now Jiaozhou and Goryeo have been destroyed, Dali surrendered, Wang Shibing came to the southwest, and the South China Sea was unblocked, and all the old lands in Hebei were recovered. Your Majesty personally conquered Xixia. If Xixia is recovered, most of the old lands of the country have already returned. However, the soldiers at the frontier pass One million, the capital is guarded, and there is a danger of Tianbao in the former Tang Dynasty..."

Xue Yan said here, no more.

The meaning could not be more obvious.

Most of the troops of the Song Dynasty are now on the border.

In Liaodong, Hebei, Hedong, Shaanxi, and Longyou, there are also [-] troops on the border of Songli in the southwest.

The total number of these frontier troops has exceeded one million.

Originally, there was still a guard brigade in Gyeonggi, but it had already arrived in Xixia at this time.

In the south, there are mostly local Xiang armies, and the ruler of the Xiang army is the seventy-eight old Mr. Zong Zezong.

As we all know, Zong Ze has been in Southeast China for many years.

The government of the Xiang army has long been stable, and Zong Ze nominally is in charge of the government of the Xiang army, but he is actually taking care of his life.

If Bian Shuai did what An Lushan did at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yue Fei listened to Xue Yan's tone calmly, but after careful consideration of the matter, there were turbulent waves.

At the beginning of Tianbao's succession to Kaiyuan, Chang'an had been in prosperity for a long time, and the empire's millions of soldiers threatened the barbarians in all directions, and all nations came to court.

Xuanzong Shenwu Emperor I was famous, but how could it be expected that once the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, half of the Tang Dynasty collapsed, the land of Shenzhou sank, and the common people died?

Who can guarantee that Da Song, who is now fighting in all directions, will not repeat the same mistakes?

Who can guarantee that he holds a powerful army in his hand, and does not have the slightest ambition to separate himself from one side and become emperor?

"It's only natural for the princes of the court to worry about this." Yue Fei thought it was true.

In the past, the pressure from foreign aggression was great and the country was in danger of subjugation. Most people supported giving the border marshal great power.

But now?

Not to mention that the chief ministers in the court have such worries, even Yue Fei is afraid in his heart!

Yue Fei didn't object, but it didn't mean he completely believed that other people had no objection.

In the face of boundless power, who can guarantee that no one will not have some ideas in their hearts?

Even if those people can guarantee it, are there any people down below who are unwilling, or ambitious people who have money but no power to do things?

"That's why I feel that this matter is very serious, and I need to tell Yue Shuai."

Yue Fei knew in his heart that Xue Yan must have his own eyeliner in Bianjing, and he was always paying attention to the changes in the court.

Yue Fei didn't blame him for Xue Yan's reminder. In fact, Yue Fei himself was cautious. Apart from fighting on the front line these years, he was walking on thin ice.

But having said that, the controversy over the matter of delegating power to the border commanders and taking power from the imperial court did not arise now.

In the past few years, there has been controversy in the court.

It's just that some things will change as the situation changes.

No one can predict that after the demise of Xixia, the Song Dynasty suddenly lost a powerful foreign enemy, and what impact it would have on internal affairs and military affairs.

In sensitive times, people's hearts are like water.

Yue Fei said: "I think His Majesty has his own arrangements for these matters, but we don't have to worry too much. If someone really has a different opinion, we will always follow the imperial court's order."

"The lower official is worried that the situation in the court has changed, and there will be..."

"Don't bother yourself."

At this moment, Niu Gao hurried outside and shouted: "Yue Shuai, someone claims to be the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin and wants to see you."

"Emissary from the Kingdom of Jin?" Xue Yan was stunned, and immediately realized, "It seems that the Kingdom of Jin responded to my sending troops to Xixia, and came to ask us to withdraw our troops."

"Bring it in."

Xilin Helu walked in with some golden men. He was still very arrogant outside, but after seeing Yue Fei, his arrogance immediately became shorter.

Yue Fei sat on the head coach's seat, his expression was normal, but he had an aura of deep empathy and steadfastness.

The golden man worships the strong. The man in front of him has defeated Wanyan Chang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Wushu, and even Wanyan Zonghan.

No matter how arrogant the rebellious Xilin Helu was, he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Yue Fei.

Xilin Helu said, "I've seen Yue Shuai."

Xue Yan on one side asked, "What's your business for the Jin envoy to come to our camp?"

"I'm talking to Yue Shuai, the junior An dare to interrupt!"

Xue Yan was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Emissary Jin is stupid, we have already given you enough face, we know the purpose of your visit if you don't tell me, if you think our conversation is redundant, we also know your purpose , then there is no need to talk about it, and you don’t need to go to Bianjing again, I think you can just push them out and chop them all up to boost our military prestige.”

Chapter 1104

Xilin Helu's expression froze, he snorted coldly but stopped talking.

Yue Fei said: "Golden envoy, if you have something to say, just speak it out. Right now, the two armies are confronting each other. It's life and death. What else do you need to say?"

Xilin Helu said: "Shuai Yue, I am entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor Dajin to go to your country, and I have something important to go to Bianjing to meet Zhao Guan's family."

"Are you here to seek refuge with me?"

"Yes, this matter is related to the long-term peace between the two countries."

"Golden envoy, peace is achieved by fighting, not by talking," Xue Yan said.

"The northwestern part of the Song Dynasty is currently using troops, am I right?" Xilin Helu said with a more or less threatening meaning in it.

Xue Yan stopped talking, and everyone in the account stopped talking.

This is a very sensitive topic.

Xixia is fighting a war to destroy the country. What is it like now? At least Hebei has not received relevant battle reports yet.

The arrival of Xilin Helu obviously represented the will of the highest level of the Kingdom of Jin.

"My dynasty's grievances with Xixia have nothing to do with the Kingdom of Jin." Xue Yan said again.

"Without him, I'm not here to discuss the Xixia affairs with you. The Xixia affairs involve the overall situation of the Three Kingdoms. It is up to you to make a decision. I need to go to Bianjing to meet Zhao Guan's family, and I need Yue Shuai to send someone to escort me."

"Why did you go to Bianjing?" Xue Yan continued.

Xilin Helu said: "As I just said, go to Bianjing to discuss the major affairs of the Three Kingdoms. If I can't go to Bianjing, I can only gather a million troops in Hebei until the Song army withdraws from Xixia. I hope that I will come here with all the soldiers of the big gold, because we all know that there is no need to go to that step, and it will not be good for Song and Jin."

Xue Yan couldn't help but look at Xilin Helu differently. He thought Xilin Helu was a reckless man, but now it seems that this person still has some skills.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the camp: "Shuai Yue, the Military and Political Academy also has letter paper."

"Come in."

The letter was presented, and it was not very good to read the letter at this time, but since it was sent by the Military and Political Academy, Yue Fei read it immediately.

After reading it, he didn't speak, as if nothing happened, and said to Xilinhelu: "Okay, I will send a team to escort you to Bianjing with my handbook."

"Thank you, Yue Shuai." Xilin Helu said, "By the way, His Royal Highness King Wei asked me to bring you a sentence."

"His Royal Highness King Wei?" Yue Fei asked suspiciously, "Golden Wushu?"

"Yes."

"What?"

"His Royal Highness Wei Wang said that he is a person who cherishes talents, and the prince of Dajin has always been reserved for you, Yue Shuai."

"Bold!" Niu Gao burst into anger, "How dare you speak recklessly in my commander's barracks!"

Yue Shuai said: "Then I trouble you to bring a word for me when you return to the Kingdom of Jin."

"What?"

"Tell Wu Shu that Da Song also has a title for him, as long as he is willing to surrender, this commander will ask His Majesty for this favor."

Xilin Helu's face was not very good-looking, but he didn't dare to say any more outrageous words, so he cupped his fists.

Yue Fei prepared the handbook and asked Xue Yan to arrange someone.

After Xilin Helu left, Niu Gao asked: "Why does Yue Shuai have to let him go to Bianjing? It's okay to kill him here."
