1245. The Imperial Guards Departure

Then, a short while, they hurried back to Longzhou City.

Zhang Guangbao didn't take this matter very seriously either.

Because in his opinion, no matter whether Xixia can reach peace with the emperor or not, if there are internal concerns such as the four major military departments, Xixia will not have the energy to go to war with the Song Dynasty again.

Only the next day, in Changsha City, Zhongsun Guge went to the palace again to see Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting still met him in the imperial study room.

This year's hot summer seems to be particularly long.

In previous years, by early September, there would always be a cold current approaching, which made Changsha City suddenly cooler. But this year, even in September, the cold current seemed to show no sign of coming.

Zhongsun Guge, who was taken into the imperial study by the eunuch, and the eunuch who led the way for him were sweating profusely.

The young Zhongsun Guge was even a little panting.

"Give tea."

When Zhao Dongting saw him, he nodded slightly to Eunuch Liu beside him. Then he asked Zhongsun Guge with a smile: "Did Lord Zhongsun bring the meaning of the empress?"

Seeing Zhao Dongting like this, Zhongsun Guge knew that Emperor Song had probably deduced the choice that the Empress, Grand Master Zhongsun and others would make. At the moment, he couldn't help but admire him.

He bowed to Zhao Dongting and said, "Our dynasty is willing to bow to the Song Dynasty. Soon, envoys will come to submit documents to you for surrender."

"good."

Zhao Dongting nodded and chuckled, "Then I hope that our two countries can communicate with each other for generations."

Zhongsun Guge smiled on his face, but his heart felt a little bitter.

The capital of Xixia is about to become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. What qualifications do you have to discuss equality with the Song Dynasty?

He wouldn't say anything just these words.

He only asked, "I wonder when Emperor Song, when will you dismiss the great Song soldiers in Chengdu Prefecture?"

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "What do you think of my soldiers from the Song Dynasty staying in Chengdu Prefecture? Lord Zhongsun, don't worry, I have already agreed to stop the war with you, and will never send troops to your Xixia territory."

Before the Xixia vassal documents were formally submitted to him, everyone in the world knew that before, he would certainly not have let the soldiers of the Shuzhong Military Region in Chengdu return to build their own.

Although Zhongsun Guge was a little worried, he couldn't say anything else.

After a little silence, he said, "Since that's the case, then Zhongsun Guge left first."

Zhao Dongting nodded.

Zhongsun Guge turned around and walked out of the imperial study room.

From beginning to end, he did not ask Zhao Dongting whether he would send troops to help them destroy the four major military commanders of the Western Xia imperial guards.

Because there is no need to ask about this.

The four major military commanders surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and now the empress group also bowed to the Song Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. Anyone can imagine that the Song Dynasty must have chosen to not help under such circumstances.

But what Zhongsun Guge didn't know was that when he left, Zhao Dongting sent a message to Zhang Guangbao, but he asked Zhang Guangbao to be prepared at all times. If the Western Xia Imperial Army was not a rival to the four major military departments, the soldiers of the Shuzhong Military Region would enter the Xixia territory and help the Western Xia Imperial Army destroy the four major military departments.

In his heart, the four major military departments are of course far from being compared with the Empress Group.

Not to mention the relationship between him and Li Xiushu, it is just about Li Zuixia. After Li Zuixia, he will definitely be the king of Xixia. How could Zhao Dongting watch his son's throne be taken away?

He could sit down and watch the four military commanders and the Western Xia imperial guards fight hard, but he would never see the four military commanders defeat the empress group.

It was the next day again.

Before the envoys of the four major military departments rushed back to Longzhou City, after a little rectification of Helian City, Qu Rujian and others led their army out of Qingchuan County.

Among them, there were 70,000 imperial guards in the Western Xia and 10,000 Qitian troops. In addition, there were 30,000 soldiers from the Gansu Army and Xiangqing Army, which were more than 140,000 soldiers.

The tents that were originally all over the mountains and fields around Qingchuan County were removed in a short period of time, and 140,000 soldiers were marching on the official road at the same time, and it was naturally in a mighty way.

And behind the army, there are still countless people who have been recruited to escort food and grass for the army.

These people were like long dragons, winding forward on the official road.

Under the scorching sun, the atmosphere of the war suddenly became extremely serious.

And this news was learned by She Tuoli, Tuoba Wu and others soon.

Generals from the four major military regions hurriedly gathered in the Yan'an of Longzhou City Government.

As soon as we met, we all noticed the solemn expression on our faces.

Before I could sit down, Tuoba Wu said, "I received the letter from Helian City, Qu Rujian and others were leading their troops to Longzhou City. The empress is probably already giving up with the Song State."

Even with She Tuoli's temperament, he couldn't help but be so angry that he slapped his hands on the table, "Emperor Song is really a villain who has no faith!"

As his words fell, the case in front of him was shattered inch by inch and almost turned into powder.

Everyone was slightly moved by the martial arts strength he unintentionally showed.

Tuoba Wu asked again: "Brother She Tuo, what should we do now?"

She Tuoli gritted his teeth and said, "Although I don't know if Zhang Guangbao has agreed to withdraw our troops at this moment, the imperial guards of Song State showed no sign of going out. I think Song State should have intervened in the war between us and the empress, and just wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Now, Qu Rujian led his army to come in Helian City. If we want to retreat again, it is difficult to avoid their obstacles. For the current plan, I am afraid that I can only blame them for killing them to the death. Instead of looking for a way out, it is better to overthrow the empress, and the Zhongsun family and the Helian family coalition forces!"

The rest of the people looked even more solemn when they heard this.

Although they had long thoughts of meeting the Empress's military force, they were still a little nervous at this moment. Because if they were defeated, the four major military departments and their families would completely lose power. In fact, the Empress would probably drive them out of power.

But as She Tuoli said, they no longer have time to detour, and they can only kill the army of Heliancheng and Qu Rujian.

After no one spoke in the hall for a long time, She Tuoli said again: "Don't you express your opinion, do you agree with my thoughts?"

Everyone still didn't speak.

"good."

She Tuoli said: "Since that's the case, please ask everyone to go back and prepare for war! Let's general Helian City in Longzhou City, and the army was destroyed. Then the army marched straight in and pulled the empress off the throne!"

He said these words with a murderous intent.

Everyone in the hall stood up, bowed to She Tuoli with a serious expression, and then left.

On this day, all military regions inside and outside Longzhou City were in full swing.

Various cities guarding equipment were moved to the front of the city and outside the camp.

The four major military commands are ready.

In Chengdu Prefecture, Zhang Guangbao was not long ago and received news that Helian City and Qu Rujian and the others led their troops out of the city.

Only in this way, he still had no intention of leading the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty out of the city.

Two days later.

Zhao Dongting's letter arrived in Chengdu Prefecture.

At the same time, Liu Zhuwen and others finally rushed to Chengdu Prefecture after returning to the central Shu realm.

Zhang Guangbao was watching Zhao Dongting’s secret letter in the room, and heard the soldiers outside report: “Deputy Commander, Marshal and the others are back!”

Zhang Guangbao couldn't help but stand up.

Then Liu Zhuwen's laughter sounded outside the house.

He walked into the house and said to Zhang Guangbao: "Brother Zhang, thank you so much for these days."

Zhang Guangbao just smiled, walked to Liu Zhuwen and said, "Now that you are back, I can relax, right?"

As he said that, he handed Zhao Dongting's secret letter to Liu Zhuwen, "This is the emperor's secret decree I just received. He asked us to hold our troops for the time being."

Liu Zhuwen read the letter, pondered slightly, and said, "Then let's hold our troops first."

After saying that, a little smile appeared on his face.

No matter what the Western Xia imperial guards and the four major army soldiers looked like, this was not a bad thing in his opinion.

The two armies fought bloody battles and did not get any benefits in the end. The biggest winner of this battle was undoubtedly the Song Dynasty. Because the war had not yet begun, this peach was eaten by the Song Dynasty.

Outside Longzhou City.

In Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and his two men led their army to finally arrive here.

The army set up a camp just five miles away from Longzhou City, confronting the four major military soldiers inside and outside Longzhou City.

The envoy who went to Chengdu Prefecture to ask for retreat finally rushed back to Longzhou City.

Only their smiles disappeared shortly after entering Longzhou City.

They naturally did not expect that Zhang Guangbao had just agreed to withdraw his troops, and Qu Rujian and the others had already pressed outside Longzhou City in Helian City.

It seems that this is like it was designed by Xixia and Song. And their four major military regions are like sheep locked up in a circle.
