Hearing this, Kou Zhun said inwardly: "The old man asked you to read the Taizu system, did you not read a word?"

Kou Ji said with a guilty conscience: "Look... I saw it."

"Bah~"

Kou Zhun took a sip and cursed in a low voice: "If you really watched it, wouldn't you know what the bells represent? The bells in the palace, different times, represent different things.

The ringing of the bells just now told Baiguan that there was an emergency military situation and that Baiguan had to go to court to discuss matters. "

Kou Ji suddenly realized.

Kou Zhun was too lazy to discuss this topic with Kou Ji again. He got on the Kou bus and urged Kou Ji to say: "Don't change into the public service yet and push the old man into the palace."

Kou Ji looked dumbfounded and questioned: "Grandfather, you can obviously stand up, why do you want to..."

Before Kou Ji finished speaking, he heard Kou Zhun's dissatisfaction: "The old man is happy, you can control it?"

Kou Ji closed his mouth instantly, went back to his yard, changed into a public uniform, and pushed Kou Zhun to the court.

Kou Zhun obviously recovered from his legs and feet, but he still stayed on the Kou bus and refused to get up. No one had a temper with him.

The grandfather and grandson rushed all the way to the gate of the imperial palace and saw countless officials hurriedly rushing into the Donghua gate.

Because it is an emergency call, officials do not need to wait in front of the Donghua Gate. After arriving at the Donghua Gate, they can directly enter the palace.

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, entered the Donghua Gate, and appeared on the Chugong Hall.

After their grandparents arrived on the Chugong Hall, the hundred officials were basically there.

Zhao Zhen had already sat down on the dragon chair, and the hundreds of officials had also found their positions according to their trains, and stood ready.

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun to the imperial stage, and waited until Kou Zhun was firmly seated.

Chen Lin announced slowly.

"Go up!"

Since Liu E was kicked out of the Chuigong Hall, Guo Huai was also kicked out of the Chuigong Hall.

Chen Lin now takes care of all the work of shouting in the Chui Gong Hall.

After Chen Lin shouted, the officials all saluted Zhao Zhen and bowed their hands to Kou Zhun.

After the salute, one by one stood still and said nothing.

Chen Lin handed a volume of emergency papers to Kou Zhun. After Kou Zhun carefully watched it, she was handed it to Xiang Minzhong.

After Xiang Minzhong saw it, it was slowly passed to the privy envoy Cao for use.

Cao used his document to watch, and Xiang Minzhong faced the hundreds of officials, and slowly spoke with a solemn expression: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, personally led a 500,000 army, in the name of hunting, went through the outer Yunzhou Dongsheng Prefecture, together with the Heqing and Jinsu armies on the outer Liao soil of Xixia, attacked Xixia with a total of 600,000 people.

A few days ago, the Liao army had broken through the castle of Muna Mountain (that is, the later Wula Mountain) and invaded the territory of Xixia.

At present, the Liao army is divided into two. The Liao emperor Yelu Longxu led an army of 400,000 men and went down the river, passing Huedu, Shengweicheng, Dingzhou, and approaching Xingzhou.

Another army of soldiers, totaling 200,000, was led by Beifu Prime Minister Xiao Jiyuan and Wenban Taibao Dalidi, crossing the Yellow River and heading straight to Wucihai City in the northern border of Xixia.

In accordance with the posture of the Liao army, the Beifu Prime Minister Xiao Jiyuan and Wenban Taibao Dalidi led 200,000 soldiers and horses after breaking through the city of Wucihai. They will surely sweep the territory of the northern border of Xixia, and then send their troops south to take the city of Loubobe. , Tanliangcheng, and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu in the Dingzhou round, marched into Xingzhou together.

Right now, Li Deming, the king of Xixia, has ordered all soldiers and horses in Xixia to enter a state of preparation. Seeing his posture, he has the power of the whole country to fight Liao. "

The six hundred thousand Liao army suddenly appeared on Muna Mountain and broke through the army fortress castle in Muna Mountain, which really shocked Li Deming, King of Xixia.

The first reaction of Xixia King Li Deming was that Yelu Longxu wanted to kill him.

After all, since Yelu Longxu's accession to the throne, he has rarely lost in the Southern and Northern Wars.

Among the nations, it has always existed at the hegemonic level.

Li Deming, the king of Xixia, has always sought benefits from the Liao country, but he has never given birth to the thought of opposing the Liao people.

Because he knew very well that Xixia's strength could not do the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, when facing Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, Xixia King Li Deming always respected him.

He really didn't understand what he had done wrong, causing Yelu Longxu to kill him.

When Li Deming, king of Xixia, learned that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led an army of 600,000 to attack, he felt cold in his heart.

But he did not sit still.

Rise up to resist.

And it was a desperate fight.

In Xixia territory, anyone who can fight, whether old or weak, women, children, are conscripted into the army by him to resist the invasion of the Liao army together.

It can be said that in the face of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's offender, Xixia King Li Deming tried his best. Even if he lost, he left nothing to the mind of the Liao State and was fighting the Liao army.

After learning of this, the civil and military officials in the Great Song Dynasty Hall looked at a loss.

One by one stood stunned for a long time.

Li Di frowned when he was quiet in the vertical arch hall, and said in doubt: "Why did the Liao people attack Xixia? Before that, there was no sign at all?"

Manchu Wenwu raised his head, looked at Xiang Minzhong, and waited for Xiang Minzhong's answer.

Xiang Minzhong gave a dry cough and said with a weird look: "The old man said, you may not believe it, but this is a fact."

Li Di was a little anxious when he heard this, and urged: "Why on earth?"

Xiang Minzhong coughed again and tried to put on a serious look: "Last year, when Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was attacking Goryeo, he was afraid of chaos behind Xixia, so he sent an envoy to Xixia to appease Xixia King Li Deming. .

But... As soon as the envoy of the Liao Kingdom entered Xixia, it was robbed by Xixia soldiers...

Therefore, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent his troops to Xixia. "

The manchurian civil and military heard this, with a dumbfounded look.

Just because Xixia soldiers robbed Liao’s envoys, Liao Emperor Yelulongxu led a 600,000 army to attack Xixia

How do you listen, how do you think this excuse is a bit sloppy.

Kou Zhun was a little confused when he saw the Manchu civil and military forces, and he explained: "The Xixia soldiers and horses robbed the Liao Dynasty envoys, which is considered to be stroked the tiger's whiskers of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu. In the eyes of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu, the world can follow him. The enemy is only me, Da Song.

Little Xixia dared to break ground on his head, he naturally couldn't tolerate it. "

In the eyes of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, the only one who could wrestle with him was Da Song.

After all, Da Song defeated him, and also repelled the Liao army countless times when their Liao army invaded southward.

Even so, Da Song was very obedient to him.

A little Xixia, not even a country, dare to stroke his tiger's beard, and not beat him, wouldn't he go to heaven

Speaking in detail, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu attacked Xixia, it was not his fault at all, but Xixia himself was looking for death.

Since Xixia King Li Deming has made frequent profits between Song and Liao Dynasty, after Xixia has grown, he has been somewhat drifting.

After the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, I felt that I was the leader of another hegemony.

So after Ganzhou Uighur Khan provoked Xixia and occupied Xiliang, the military, economic, and political powerhouse of Xixia, he decisively led his troops to teach Ganzhou Uighur Khan.

Then it was defeated.

Annoyed into anger, he gave a stupid order.

Road closure.

The entire Hexi Corridor road was blocked.

The purpose was to seal the Uighurs in Ganzhou so that they could not contact Da Song and Da Liao and ask for help from these two overlords.

His opponent disarmed and ordered, and all the envoys from Ganzhou Uighur to Da Song and Da Liao would be looted.

When Da Song and Da Liao went to see the envoys of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, they plundered them.

Originally, this wasn't a big deal.

After all, everyone can understand the strength of the hostile by unscrupulous means.

But the people under their hands looted the envoys and looted them smoothly, and they looted the envoys sent by the Liao State to appease the Xixia King Li Deming.

All of a sudden, the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu angered.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu defeated Gao Li, freed his hand, immediately waved his whip, and rushed to Xixia to teach him how to be a man.

After hearing Kou Zhun’s explanation, the Manchu civil and military still found it incredible.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Qinruo said: "In any case, the Liao Kingdom will attack Xixia. It is a foregone conclusion. Next, let's see how the imperial court responds to this matter. It was shot when Li Deming, the king of Xixia, was beaten and asked for help from the Song Dynasty. Help, or let Xixia and Liao State fight to the death, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

Cao Yi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Can't you take the opportunity to send troops and bite off a piece of meat?"

Wang Qinruo shook his head and said: "No, if Xixia is dead, the next thing the Liao people have to deal with must be Da Song. Everyone knows the truth about the death of lips and cold teeth. Whether to help Xixia and save my Da Song against the Liao people The power of one or two can be considered.

But if you take the opportunity to occupy the territory, it is undoubtedly a disaster.

If you join forces with the Liao people and divide up Xixia, when the Liao people have digested and occupied the territory of Xixia, they will definitely take action against me.

This is the way to self-destruction, not desirable. "

Kou Zhun, Cao Liuli, and Kou Ji frowned upon hearing this.

Manchumen and martial artists, nodding their heads, and shook their heads with their mouths held in their mouths.

Cao said in a deep voice, "What if you take the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat in Liao Country?"

Wang Qinruo was taken aback and laughed and said, "Do you provoke the Liao State? I really want to take the opportunity to send troops to the Liao State. It is difficult to guarantee that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu will not give up Xixia and turn to the Song Dynasty. This is still the way to die.

Maybe it will die faster.

Not advisable. "

As soon as this remark came out, many people in the DPRK nodded.

Kou Zhun also nodded if there was nothing.

Only Kou Ji frowned secretly.

Kou Zhun looked at Wang Qinruo and said calmly: "You don't have to argue about this matter. The old man and the queen mother have already decided on this matter."

As soon as this remark came out.

The gazes of the Manchu civil and military forces all fell on Kou Zhun.

Wang Qinruo took a step forward, approaching Kou Zhun, and questioned: "The Taishi and Queen Mother had known that the Liao people were going to attack Xixia?"

Kou Zhun nodded without concealment, and said: "As early as the end of last year, the old man and the queen mother knew about this."

The Manchu civil and military were in an uproar.

Wang Qinruo gritted his teeth and said, "How did the teacher and the queen mother learn about this?"

Kou Zhun concealed Kou Ji's shadow on this matter, and said indifferently: "Naturally, he discovered the clues from the memos sent from all over."

"What is it?"

"About the Liao State secretly sent people to buy grain and grass from my Da Song Dynasty."

"Can it be checked?"

"can."

"..."

This matter is important.

Wang Qinruo frequently questioned Kou Zhun, in a posture that represented hundreds of officials.

Kou Zhun was not angry because Wang Qinruo questioned him, except that Kou Ji's shadow was hidden in it, and the rest of the questions were answered.

If Wang Qin wanted to check Kou Zhun's memorial to the news that the Liao people attacked Xixia, Kou Zhun did not stop him.

Immediately, the eunuchs were asked to go to the place where the memorial records were stored, and the memorial records with the news about the purchase of grain and grass by the Liao people were taken to the Chuigong Hall for inspection by the officials.

Wang Qinruo, Li Di, Wang Zeng and others represented hundreds of officials and stepped forward to carefully check the memorabilia.

Li Di said angrily: "It turns out that the Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, as well as the Dai, Tang, Deng and other prefectures caused food shortages, which were caused by the Liao people.

Wang Qinruo's focus has never been on food shortages.

After reading the memorabilia, he confronted Kou Zhun and questioned: "Taishi, the Liao people buy food in my Song Dynasty, but how did the Taishi buy food from the Liao people and guessed that the Liao people were going to attack Xixia? "

Hearing this, Kou Zhun told Wang Qinruo and the Manchu civil and military affairs about the uncharacteristic behavior of the Liao people to show favor to the Song Dynasty and the purchase of grain and grass by the Liao people in the Song Dynasty. .

The Manchu Civil and Martial Arts listened to it, and his face was stunned.

They couldn't help but admire Kou Zhun.

Being able to connect so many clues together and infer the intention of the Liao people to move troops is really powerful.

But Wang Qinruo didn't mean to stop talking about it. He stared at Kou Zhun and said in a deep voice: "The Taishi just said that after you discovered this matter, you and the Queen Mother dealt with it. I don't know the Taishi. How did the Queen Mother decide?"

Kou Zhun said frankly: "After discussing with the Queen Mother, the old man and the Queen Mother decided to take the opportunity to send troops to open up the territory for the Song Dynasty. The old man and the Queen Mother first granted the right to do things cheaply. The intention was to let the two families live in Xixia. During the war with Liao, he took the opportunity to send troops to contain both sides.

Later, the old man and the queen mother sent Ding Zhi as the supervising army. Li Zhaoliang led the Datong, Yongxing, and Gande armies to the battlefield as the marshal.

As long as Xixia and Liao were in the war, the two soldiers and horses could seize the opportunity to contain them.

As soon as the imperial army arrived, they could naturally take the opportunity to tear off the flesh from Xixia and open up the territory for my great Song Dynasty.

During the invasion of the Liao army, Li Deming, the king of Xixia, would inevitably mobilize the elite troops of Xixia to resist the Liao army.

The defenders in the cities everywhere are bound to be some old and weak women and children.

If I use this to send troops, I will definitely be able to fight. "

Wang Qinruo stared at Kou Zhun, squinted, and sneered: "What the Taishi means is that you and the Queen Mother have mobilized no less than 150,000 people and participated in this battle by hiding the hundred officials?"

Without waiting for Kou Zhun to speak, Wang Qinruo asked loudly: "What do you mean to me by this action of the Grand Master and the Queen Mother?"

Upon hearing this, the Manchu civil and military officials nodded vigorously.

Wang Qinruo shouted loudly: "The Taishi and the Queen Mother obviously couldn’t wait for me, so they didn’t tell me about such important events. The Taishi and the Queen Mother obviously didn’t care about me waiting, so they waited without telling me and didn’t wait with me. After deliberation, they rushed to send troops.

Of course, have the Taishi and Queen Mother ever thought that this battle will be detrimental to my great Song regardless of victory or defeat.

If this causes trouble for my Da Song, who can bear it

In the days when the Liao soldiers approached the city, will the Taishi beg for the bones, or the queen dowager? "

If Wang Qin's words fall down, there will be Yushi Supervisors who have come forward to support him and questioned the issue of this troop dispatch.
