"At this time, the sky in the north is covered with dark clouds and the sky is blue and yellow. I guess Xingzhou, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, is in a state of turmoil?!"

All the generals agreed...

They heard what Zhao Guanjia said was a double entendre.

The Zhao Guan family named Xingqing Mansion as the former Xingzhou, which was deliberately underestimating the capital of the Xia Kingdom. If the land was recovered by the Song Dynasty, it would be regarded as a city of a state at best.

At this time, Zhao Ji looked at the dark blue sky in the north and thought of the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun and his soldiers and civilians who were in Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the country, which was the original place of Xingzhou. They heard the battle report that the capital Xijing had been lost. scene……

Suddenly, Zhao Ji came to Yaxing. In his mind, he rewrote a great seven-rhythm poem of later generations into seven-character quatrains and recited it loudly:

“The wind and rain in Xingzhou turned yellow,

A million-strong army went to northern Xinjiang.

It is better to use the remaining brave men to pursue the poor bandits.

Don’t use your name to be the academic overlord.”

More than a dozen generals such as Zongze, Yue Fei, Zhong Shidao, etc. who were following Zhao Ji, as well as hundreds of imperial city ministers and officials behind him, heard the poem recited by Zhao Guanjia. High morale...

"What a poem!" Yue Fei praised loudly. He stepped out of the queue, bowed and clasped his fists:

"This poem written by an official should be praised in the army!"

Zongze knew that Yue Fei was upright. He was not flattering the emperor, but through this move, he made the army officers determined to continue the Northern Expedition to destroy the Xia Kingdom.

Instead of following the example of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu during the conflict between Chu and Han, he did not take advantage of his own strength to eliminate his opponent, but was eventually forced by his opponent to kill himself in Wujiang River...

Zongze immediately added:

"Wei Chen Zongze agrees with Yue Pengju's words. This poem written by officials is bold and bold. It should be praised in the army to boost the morale of our army!"

After Zhang Jun saw Zhao Guanjia's happy expression, he immediately followed:

"The humble minister Zhang Jun also agrees with the words of General Yue and Privy Secretary Zong."

"Okay!" Zhao Ji nodded and said, "This poem I chant can be recited in our army. Let the officers and soldiers recite it voluntarily after training. There is no need to be too strict and require each of them to learn and memorize it."

Yue Fei, Zong Ze and Zhang Jun all looked happy and said happily:

"Wei Chen obeys the decree..."

Liu Yanqing, Zhongshi Dao, Zhongshi Dao, Yao Gu, and Guo Cheng all saw Zhao Guan's intention in the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.

Although the Zhao Guan family did not express their position on whether to continue the war against Xia when the monarchs and ministers were discussing matters in the government office just now,

However, they analyzed the poem just written by Zhao Guanjia and found that Zhao Guanjia wanted to continue to conquer Xia, and even decided to destroy Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop.

…

Previously, the eunuch sent by Zhao Ji had arrived at the Yaogu military camp outside Dongcheng and conveyed the edict to Zhang Jun who was staying in the camp...

After Zhang Jun received the order to express his gratitude, he immediately led a group of 100 Song troops to the outside of the camp where the Xia envoys were placed under house arrest.

Zhang Jun left most of his soldiers outside the tent and entered the tent with only a dozen guards.

At this time, the twelve Xia State beggars and envoys who were under house arrest looked panicked.

After they saw Zhang Jun entering the account, they all protested:

"We are the envoys of the Great Xia Kingdom. We are envoys to the Song camp under the imperial edict of the Great Xia Emperor. We want to pay homage to the Great Song Emperor. Why aren't we allowed to meet him?"

"Not only that, but also putting twelve of our Xia envoys under house arrest here. Isn't it a courtesy for the exchanges between the two countries?"

"In fact, from early morning to early morning today, there seemed to be hundreds of thunders outside the tent. We wanted to go out of the tent to check, but we were blocked from returning to the camp by the guards outside the tent!"

"We protest..."

Zhang Jun had long seen that these twelve Xia envoys had been frightened, but they were just making bluff protests because of their special status as Xia envoys.

Zhang Jun smiled slightly and said:

"Yesterday, the summer envoys said:

'Based on the high height of the city and the deep trenches of the Xijing City of the Daxia Kingdom, and the fact that King Pu, who was deeply loved by the soldiers and civilians of the Daxia Kingdom, led heavy troops to garrison the Xijing City. It must have taken the Song Army a year and a half to break through the Xijing City of the Daxia Kingdom.

.'

'At that time, the Song Army will inevitably fall into a long-term attrition war with only one army. In addition, there are more than 500,000 Xiang troops from all over Daxia who will come to rescue Xijing City. The Song Army will definitely lose this battle.'

The above words are all spoken by you and other summer envoys."

"At that time, I also deliberately wrote down these arrogant words like yours."

"Bang!" Zhang Jun slapped the booklet recording the above remarks of Ambassador Xia on the table.

The twelve summer envoys looked at each other in confusion.

Yesterday, they did say those words.

They think this is the truth!

Even though they wanted to have more confidence when negotiating peace between Song and Xia, they somewhat exaggerated the Xia army's ability to hold on and the length of time they defended the city in Xijing, the capital of the Xia Kingdom;

However, their lowest expectation was that King Pu Li Renzhong would lead his troops to defend Xijing City, which is high in the city and has deep ditches. Not to mention that they could defend the city for a year, but at least for two or three months. That would be easy.

You can hold it!

The Xia envoy misjudged: At this time, the Song envoy Zhang Jun was bluffing...

They also had serious faces and still said arrogantly:

"We did say those words. So what can you do?"

"hehe……"

"Xijing City, the capital of our Great Xia Kingdom, has a high city and deep ditches. Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, who is deeply loved by the army and the people, personally led tens of thousands of elite troops to garrison in Xijing City. You and the Song army attacked Xijing City for a year and a half.

, it can’t be attacked!”

"This is reasonable. We, the Xia envoys, came to the Song camp following the imperial edict of the Great Xia Kingdom because we couldn't bear to see the Song army suffer a disastrous defeat like they did after invading our territory in the past..."

"That's right! We, the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, are here just to negotiate a peace and restore the old friendship between Xia and Song!"

"Xiangong Zhang, please return to the camp quickly. Please think twice before you act. Within a year, the Song army will not even think of breaking through the Xijing City of Daxia Kingdom!"

"Hahaha..." Zhang Jun listened to the speeches of these summer envoys who were under house arrest, and he burst into laughter.

"You, the Xia Envoys, can say such arrogant words. Who gave you the courage?!"

"Hahaha……"

The twelve summer envoys were extremely surprised when they heard Zhang Jun's questions and laughter...

In fact, they were under house arrest in this big tent last night and were not allowed to go out even half a step. Their information was blocked.

Zhang Jun suppressed his smile, looked serious, and said loudly and solemnly:

"The imperial edict of Zhao Guanjia, Emperor of the Song Dynasty:

I, Zhang Jun, will lead one hundred troops to protect you and the twelve begging envoys from the Xia Kingdom as they enter the city. They will watch Li Renzhong, the former King of Pu of the Xixia Kingdom, lying dead in the street. I will also invite you to visit the Lingzhou City that we have just recovered from the Song Dynasty.

!”

"ah?!"

"ah?!!"

The twelve Xia envoys were all shocked and could not believe what they heard...

This is impossible!

Absolutely impossible!
