Chapter 773 The Emperor of Western Xia (1)
Chapter 773 Xixia Emperor's Teacher (1)
Go to the bottom of the sea cave and return to the merchant ship.
Hongniangzi and Diaozhu and other leaders personally drove the boat to open the way for Zhao Dongting and his merchant ships.
Seeing this, Zhao Dongting smiled.
It seems that the Hongniangzi is not only feeling frustrated, but also realizing that this is her opportunity. Otherwise, she would not have come out to row in person.
The merchant ship returned to the vast sea again.
The night is coming soon.
Lao Wutou and others were all considered old people on this route. Although they were captured on Crescent Island and deviated from the original channel, it would only take some time to return to the old channel.
The waves surging at night, and the ships swayed violently.
Fortunately, the people on the boat have been on the boat for so long that they can get used to it and get used to it. They can't get used to it, and have already vomited all the things they can vomit.
In the cabin, Zhao Dongting and Hong Wutian sat cross-legged and practiced.
Old Wutou probably tried his best to reconcile with Zhao Dongting, so the two Zhang family members benefited from it and were arranged to live in another cabin.
The little bean sprout was left in Zhao Dongting's cabin, holding the Park Knife of Old Wu's head with both hands, her face turned red, and she swayed with the ship.
Yangzhou County on Lizhou East Road.
Since Li Wangyuan was killed by the White Horse Army in August last year and abandoned his armor and led his troops back here, he has never sent any troops to send troops.
The Song and Yuan dynasties convened peace, and the Yuan Dynasty gave Fengxiang, Lintao, Lizhou and the east and west routes to the Song Dynasty. Because the White Horse Army in Shu was nominally the Great Song army, it was honest after actually controlling the entire Kuizhou Road and did not dare to continue to invade other state routes, and was known as a rebel traitor in the Song Dynasty.
Now more than ten days have passed since the beginning of spring. Li Wangyuan is eager to save his sister and finally plans to enter Kuizhou again.
Zhao Dongting was always waiting for the Western Xia to send troops, and did not allow Zhang Jue to lead his army into Kuizhou, and it was not possible to have any reason for the attack.
Of course, it’s not that I can’t make any reason, but that I’m unwilling to spend that effort.
The mansion of the former Jiedushi in Yangzhou County was built with carved railings and jade, and the corridors were thousands of turns.
There are many mountains and clouds and mist in the distance.
Lizhou East Road is a good place to have mountains and water.
The old ministers of Xixia who were under Li Wangyuan spent decades secretly immersed in the military, political and business circles of Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou, east and west, and almost controlled these four lines. When the Yuan Dynasty gave up these four lines and stayed in these places, the Yuan Dynasty officials and generals also lost their final foundation. Out of anger or disheartened, they simply surrendered to Xixia and bowed to Li Wangyuan to surrender.
In the end, Xixia seemed to have become the biggest beneficiary after peace talks.
The Song Dynasty tried its best to get Fujian, and the white horses in Shu leaped over and over, but Kuizhou. The Western Xia suffered a defeat, but they all won four states.
Li Wangyuan was considered to be the name of the prince of Xixia. As long as he was willing, it would not be difficult to restore the throne immediately.
At this time, in the mansion of the former Jiedushi named "Changchun Mansion...", Prince Li sat high in the hall. Below were Zhongsun Qifu and other influential old ministers of the Western Xia.
The civil servants are on the left and the military generals are on the right, and they stand neatly. This scene is really about whether it is restored or not.
Li Wangyuan glanced at everyone below and then opened the point, "I'm summoning you here today to discuss with you the matter of taking Kuizhou again."
Li Xiushu did not return to Xixia for a day, and Li Wangyuan did not dare to forget about the matter of taking Kuizhou for a day.
All the ministers in the hall had already thought about Li Wangyuan's thoughts, but they did not show any surprise.
One year, a young general who was about his early thirties stepped out and bowed to Li Wangyuan, "Prince, with our army's current strength, there must be no big problem to defeat the white horse and take Kuizhou. But a general dared to ask the prince, whether the prince still holds the idea of taking Kuizhou to offer the Song Dynasty in exchange for Princess Xiushu."
Li Wangyuan frowned slightly, "Of course, how many times does General Helian need this prince to say?"
Over the years, the old ministers of Xixia have been always entangled in the matter of replacing Kuizhou for Li Xiushu, which has long made him angry and very impatient.
In the eyes of these guys, is it like a abandoned person, the sister of Princess Xixia with pure bloodline, compared with Kuizhou?
Li Wangyuan valued his sister, so he was extremely disgusted with these generals and ministers not taking Li Xiushu too seriously.
Today, he will definitely set the matter of sending troops to Kuizhou.
However, this time, the wave of opposition was beyond Li Wangyuan's expectations.
As soon as General Helian closed his mouth, another civil minister came out and said, "I beg the prince to think twice!"
Then several civil officials followed him out and bowed.
Li Wangyuan patted his right hand heavily on the chair, "Can you be beaten by the White Horse Army after a defeat, and you didn't even have the courage to lose yourself?"
However, the expressions of the ministers did not change much. It was obvious that they had already passed through the air before entering the hall.
Li Wangyuan was enjoying his success, and these old ministers in Xixia were not as confident and capable of adhering to Zhao Dongting’s words like the ministers of the Song Dynasty.
The civil minister who first left the list said again: "We are not opposed to the prince's capture of Kuizhou, but... we hope that the prince will think twice about the matter of exchanging Kuizhou for Princess Xiushu."
Li Wangyuan's brows tighter, "What do you mean by saying this? You... want to take Kuizhou, but ignore Xiushu's life or death?"
Now the civil officials who are in charge of the General Office of the Gansu Military Office of the Western Xia bowed their hands and bowed lower, saying: "The Song and Yuan dynasties agreed to peace, and the Yuan dynasty gave Fengxiang, Fujian and other routes to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty became the second only to the Yuan Dynasty in the world. I dared to ask the prince to think deeply. If our dynasty takes Kuizhou and wants to exchange for Princess Xiushu, the Song Dynasty goes back on its word and asks our dynasty to return Fengxiang, Lintao, Lizhou, and East-West Road to them, what should our dynasty do?"
Li Wangyuan was silent.
The General Manager of the Gansu Military Office said again: "Even if the Song Dynasty did not do that backfire, our dynasty was already narrow-minded and not as strong as the Song and Yuan dynasties. If we cut off our troops and generals and took Kuizhou, and sent it to the Song Dynasty, it would only strengthen the strength of the Song Dynasty. If we want to compete with the Song and Yuan dynasties and Dali in the future... we will probably have a slim chance of winning. I think that at this moment, our dynasty should take advantage of the time before the Song Dynasty sent troops to Kuizhou to hold Kuizhou. In this way, our dynasty will be able to grow stronger and we will have more chances of winning in the future."
Li Wangyuan said the same thing, "Why did Xiushu... what should she do?"
For Li Xiushu, he could not let the world go. But he didn't dare to say this clearly, for fear of the coldness of these old ministers.
If they feel heartbroken, their hope of saving their sister will be even more slim.
Li Wangyuan and Li Xiushu depended on each other in the Dadu Palace for decades, and this brother-sister relationship was far beyond the imagination of these old ministers in Xixia.
