Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

The next day, as the team marched to Hengshan, Zhang Yanshou was about to ask Li Tang for a "secret talk", when a group of Xixia soldiers suddenly ran out from the corner of the mountain.

"Ahead is Master Zhang Yanshou?"

Zhang Yanshou was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's my officer, are you a patrol soldier of the Hengshan Camp?"

The leader of the soldiers said: "The lord of the country has personally arrived at the Hengshan camp, please Master Zhang bring the envoys of the Song Dynasty to meet the lord of the country."

Zhang Yanshou glanced at Cao Bin, shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to lead the team to follow.

"Damn it, why did Yuan Hao come so fast? Is this going to go out in person?"

Cao Bin cursed secretly, and had no choice but to follow the mission to the Hengshan camp of the Xixia people.

Before the founding of the Xixia people, they kept building Hengshan.

At this time, the Hengshan Camp is not so much a military camp as it is a small city, complete with palaces and palaces.

Li Tang didn't notice at all that he had already walked around the gate of hell.

At this time, he was stepping up to please Zhang Yanshou, planning to sharpen his guns before the battle.

"The envoy of the Xuan Song Dynasty has an audience!"

Before arriving at the Hengshan camp, some guards shouted loudly.

After handing over the sword to the gate guard and being searched, Cao Bin and Li Tang followed Zhang Yanshou into the Hengshan camp and into the main hall.

In the spacious hall, many people sat, as if they were holding a banquet.

The one on the high platform is none other than Yuan Hao, the first ruler of Xixia.

He is about forty years old, with bald hair, round face and high nose, fierce and bright eyes, quite like a wolf and eagle.

Sitting next to him were two beauties, one was in his thirties and the other was seventeen or eighteen, both of them were as beautiful as flowers.

According to the news from Yanzi, Cao Bin can guess that these two women are Yuan Hao's empress "No Hidden Black Cloud" and his favorite concubine "No Move Ximeng".

"Foreign ministers Li Tang and Cao Bin pay respects to the Lord of Xixia!"

Li Tang and Cao Bin approached Yuan Hao more than ten meters away, but were blocked by guards.

After they bowed their hands in a proper manner, Li Tang wanted to present the letter of credence of the Song Dynasty.

Yuan Hao didn't pay attention at all, he laughed loudly and said to the subordinates on both sides:

"The envoys of the Song Dynasty came at a wonderful time. Now that I am about to go to war, don't they send the heads of two sacrificial flags?"

"Come here, cut off the heads of the two of them..."

"Fuck!"

Hearing this, although Cao Bin had already prepared, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and his legs cramped a bit.

This Yuan Hao was indeed a barbarian, he was about to cut off the heads of the envoys before he asked any questions.

"Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty! I am willing to surrender, and I will take refuge in Xixia!"

Li Tang knelt down on the ground with a "plop", with a flattering smile on his face, without any hesitation, it was extremely smooth.

Seeing this, Yuan Hao beamed with joy: "People from the Central Plains have always had weak legs, hahaha..."

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned to Cao Bin and said, "What about you?"

"Uh...I can't kneel down..."

"Okay! I didn't expect there to be warriors in the Central Plains, I'll make you happy, pull them out and kill them!"

Cao Bin patted his stiff legs, a little bit like crying, Ma De, I actually want to make a mistake, save the country with curves!

After all, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention him, even if the Overlord of Chu came, without a weapon, he would probably be chopped into a pulp.

"As for the other one, I hate capricious people the most, and I, Xixia, don't want to be useless. Divide me into pieces!"

Yuan Hao gave Li Tang a contemptuous look, and immediately ordered.

Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief just now, he almost fainted when he heard this, and frantically kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, spare me, spare me! Master Zhang..."

At this time Zhang Yanshou was also frightened so that his legs trembled. Even though he was a courtier of Xi Xia, it didn't mean he wasn't afraid.

Yuan Hao is the best at associating suspicions.

If Cao Bin exposed himself, it would be over, so he hurried forward and said:

"The lord, you can't kill him! This humble minister has a sympathy to report back."

Just as Yuan Hao was about to speak, Zhang Yuan, the prime minister of the Xixia Kingdom on the right, had already scolded him angrily:

"Shut up, the king will personally conquer the Great Song Dynasty, and it happens to boost morale with the leader of the Song officials! Kill!"

Hearing this, Yuan Hao waved his hand slightly without any hesitation, and the two guards immediately stepped forward to drag Li Tang and Cao Bin outside.

Cao Bin's feet gripped the ground firmly and his arms struggled, but the two guards couldn't move.

When Li Tang was dragged out of the hall, the two guards were still fighting Cao Bin in sweat.

All the Xixia ministers in the hall were speechless.

Only Zhang Yanshou stared at Cao Bin. He hoped that Cao Bin would die immediately before he could speak, and worried that he would tell his secret before he died.

If the matter of Ye Lilanglie letting him hide the money comes out, not only he himself will be ransacked, but even the crown prince will be implicated.

Seeing that his personal guards had nothing to do with Cao Bin, Yuan Hao couldn't help being furious and said:

"A group of trash, lift him up."

Hearing this, several guards ran up quickly, raised Cao Bin's legs and arms, and raised them above his head.

"Nimma, I must die!"

Cao Bin cursed secretly.

"Hahaha......"

Then he immediately burst into laughter, which made everyone frown.

Cao Bin once heard netizens say that as long as you laugh at critical moments, you can avoid death.

In this situation, we can only try it temporarily. If it doesn't work, we should think about how to pull a few backs before dying.

"slow!"

Finally, the Prime Minister Zhang Yuan suddenly gave a cold shout:

"Bring him back!"

Cao Bin was overjoyed, and thought, the netizens are really reliable.

"Emissary Song, what are you laughing at?"

At this time, Cao Bin gave Zhang Yuan a squinting glance, raised his head and said:

"I laugh at you Zhang Yuanwumou, Yuanhao Shaozhi!"

Zhang Yuan was originally a scholar in the Song Dynasty. He was arrogant and regarded himself as extraordinary, but because he failed to succeed in repeated trials, he became angry and took refuge in Xixia.

He advised Yuan Hao, won three battles and three victories, slaughtered countless Song troops, and was regarded by Yuan Hao as his right-hand man.

Xixia was able to successfully establish the country, and he contributed a lot. Now he is appointed as the prime minister of the country, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people.

Hearing this sentence, Yuan Hao choked on the drink and almost smoked with anger.

Wuzang Heiyun quickly patted his back for him, but Wuyi Ximeng looked at Cao Bin in amazement, quite inconceivable.

Those Xixia courtiers also stared at Cao Bin with amazed eyes, sighing in their hearts, this guy is really tough.

I'm afraid I don't know that there is a crueler punishment than beheading in this world. Is it because I think my death is not miserable enough?

At this moment, there was only a neighing of the horse, followed by a heart-piercing scream, which made Cao Bin tremble and almost failed.

He knew that this must be Li Tang being dismembered by five horses, it was so exciting.

At this time, Yuan Hao also regained his strength, angrily stared at Cao Bin and said:

"You are so brave..."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said:

"My lord, rest assured, I will wait for my minister to ask him."

As he said that, he looked at Cao Bin with a gloomy face and said:

"The truth is that you are resourceful and decisive, and you never miscalculate. How dare you make such wild words."

"If you can't tell the reason today, the truth will kill you Ling Chi."

Hearing this, Cao Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since begging for mercy is not enough, he can only frighten them first.

Whether it's laughing or sarcasm, it's the same principle that makes them "want" to listen to themselves, so that they can continue to fool around.

Both Zhang Yuan and Yuan Hao are people who think highly of themselves and are arrogant and self-admiring.

Especially Zhang Yuan, in order to prove that he is better than the civil servants of the Song Dynasty, he did everything possible to encourage Yuan Hao to attack the Song Dynasty, and he did not hesitate to be a traitor, which shows the depth of his obsession.

Although he is very clever and knows how to do it to his advantage, he can't control his obsession.

This is a natural defect, not "you know it" and you can "do it".

Just like when a counselor persuades the monarch, he can talk eloquently, as if he has a big understanding, but if he is asked to do it himself, he may not be able to do what he says.

Cao Bin coughed and looked around, intending to use what he had learned all his life to display the skill of "big deception".

"Dare to ask the Lord of Xixia, why did you attack Song Dynasty?"

Before waiting for an answer, Cao Bin continued:

"Land, food, or population?"

"Now Xixia has Hengshan Mountain in the east and Tiandu Mountain in the south, so we can defend the country."

"And from Shanxi Road to Guanzhong, there is a flat river, even if you take it down, can you hold it?"

"For money and food?"

"Now that the Song Dynasty has strengthened the walls and cleared the wilderness, even if you conquer the entire Northwest, how much food can you get? Maybe it's not even as good as the old coins and gifts that the Song Dynasty gave you."

"Once the war starts, you will only become poorer!"

"Let's talk about the population. Your Western Xia is mainly based on the party, but only a few million, bald and different clothes. If there are too many people in my Song Dynasty, you are not afraid of turning the customer into the main?"

The more he talked about Cao Bin, the more confident he became, and he shouted:

"I am the richest man in the Song Dynasty, and I can fail countless times. We can afford to fail!"

"As long as you defeat Xixia once, I, Da Song, can drive straight in, destroy your country, and destroy your seed!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned, it seemed that what Cao Bin said was not unreasonable.

How did Xixia rise?It was between the Song and Liao Dynasties that they had both sides, surrendered when they were defeated, and gradually became stronger.

If Da Song is really ruthless and doesn't give them a chance to feign surrender, they may really perish.

Their situation is similar in history, although they were exterminated by Mongolia.

But as early as the late Northern Song Dynasty, Xixia had already been beaten up by the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty was also constantly corrupting, so it failed to completely wipe them out.

For a moment, the hall was filled with the sound of air-conditioning, and they all turned their eyes to Yuan Hao, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly said angrily: "Shut up, my country's lord is talented and mighty, you can..."

Cao Bin interrupted him directly, pointed at Zhang Yuanda suddenly and shouted:

"You just have to shut up. You were born in the Song Dynasty, but for your own selfishness, you abandoned your elderly parents and defected alone."

"You're fighting sharply again, attacking and killing classmates and old friends, just because you want to prove that you are more talented than them."

"Since you vote for a good master, you should assist with all your heart and plan for Xixia's future with all your heart."

"But you pushed Xixia into a dangerous place for selfish reasons. When Xixia is in decline, what face do you have to face the old master of Xixia?"

"You, a thief who is in chaos, why don't you die?"

After scolding, Cao Bin laughed again:

"Everyone has five ethics. If there is no five ethics, isn't it a beast?"
