Under the city of Lingzhou.

The city gate, which had been closed for many days, finally opened its doors to the Song Dynasty Xingling Xuanfu Envoy, Gao Qiu, who was in charge of the military affairs of the six routes and the affairs of the Privy Council.

Because he surrendered without fighting, the city was opened without blood. Therefore, the current appearance of Lingzhou City is much more prosperous and lively than any other city that fell into Gao Qiu's hands before.

It's even a bit too lively!

In this famous Zhenxiong City, which was once the garrison of the Tang Dynasty, which was once the garb of the Tang Dynasty's Shuofang Jiedushi, many people who had put on Han robes, stood outside the east gate of Lingzhou City, staring blankly at the mighty soldiers of the Song Dynasty from the direction of Dongguan Town.

There were also some Dangxiang officials and nobles who were about to leave, standing under the tall city gate tower, looking at the army that was beyond the sight of the border, but were stunned. Many of them were born and raised in Lingzhou City, and for them, Lingzhou was their hometown. This city was captured by Li Jiqian, the leader of the rebel army of the Dangxiang clan in the fifth year of Xianping of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, and then it was renamed Xiping Prefecture and became the basis for the Western thieves. After the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, Xiping Prefecture was still Tokyo in Xixia, and it was established along with Xijing Xingqing Prefecture.

For the Dangxiang nobles who were born and raised here, the Lingzhou they knew was from the time Li Jiqian broke into the city. It did not exist for more than a thousand years before!

As for the Han people in the city, although they are the majority, they are also ignored by them.

One qian man, that’s it!

But now, Xiping Prefecture, Tokyo in the Great White Kingdom, has returned to the hands of the Song Kingdom once again, and has surrendered without fighting. For the Dangxiang people in the city, this means they have to leave their hometown, but they don’t know where they will go in the future.

A large number of black people appeared outside the East Gate of Lingzhou. They were all black armored knights, black leather armor, black tall horses under their crotch, and black facial armor. They were covered with black facial armor on their faces. Fifty riders were in a team, and the queue was extremely strict and they advanced one after another. Although there were only 500 riders in total, they gave people a huge pressure, which made the Dangxiang people on both sides of the official road secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

The Great Song Dynasty actually had such an armored cavalry, no wonder it could defeat the Iron Harrier of the Great Bai Gao Kingdom!

Behind the 500 black armored knights, there was a banner that was fluttering in the wind. Behind the banner, there were another group of knights, each wearing shiny green Tang wart armor, but the formation was not very strict. He was the first knight, with a long body and a tall appearance, with a few long beards under his jaw, which was very charming.

This person is Gao Qiu, Gao Xuanshuai, who was praised as a famous general in a confused manner. However, looking at his expression, he seemed not satisfied with his current situation. His brows were slightly frowning, and he seemed to be worried. It turned out that Gao Qiu's accomplice in Kaifeng Prefecture had just informed him, saying that recently, the censors repeatedly impeached him, Xingling Xuanfu. Some said that there were fountains in his house, some said that the horns on his guard dog's head became rare animals, some said that Linzhi was growing on the pillars of his house, and some said that his father's grave was so good that his smoke came from blue every day...

However, these fantasy things are nothing. What really scares Gao Xuanshuai is that someone has submitted a memorial saying that he used the house to invite the army to buy the three emperors of the imperial court!

This crime is serious! I invited the morale of the army, and I also bought the morale of the three emperors in the front line! This is the army under the Palace Front Office, responsible for defending the elite of the official family. Moreover, the combat power is so strong. If Gao Qiu was asked to buy morale of the army, he would doze and let someone cover it with a yellow robe, what should I do? Even if Gao Xuanshuo was loyal to the Song Dynasty, just like Zhao Dianshuo was finally in the Zhou Dynasty back then, this official family had to do it!

So even Gao Qiu thought the impeachment of this censor made sense!

"Shishuai Xuan!Shishuai Xuan!Shishuai..."

Just when Gao Qiu was deeply regretting the matter of "inviting to buy morale of the army", he didn't know who it was, and suddenly shouted "Shishou Xuan", and then more people shouted together, and then the people of Lingzhou on both sides of the official road responded.

After a hundred years of lost territory, I have returned to the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty's robes and clothes appear in Lingzhou again!

The elderly Han people have already shed tears in tears. Although Lingzhou has fallen for a hundred years, it has only been more than seventy years since Li Yuanhao became the emperor and publicly embarked on the road of national division. Some of the elderly Han people in Lingzhou have been Song people, and some have heard their deceased elders talk about the beautiful era of national unity.

Now, the 100,000 iron troops of the Song Dynasty finally arrived in Lingzhou City and won over people with virtue.

Amid the shouts, several Xixia officials standing at the city gate were all bowing, stopping in front of Gao Xuan's horse, and dancing to the ground: "The criminal ministers Zhao Renli, Mou Ning Keren and others, welcome the royal army of the Song Dynasty and the great commander of Xuan!"

These Xixia officials seemed to have worn the wrong clothes today, all of which were wide robes and big sleeves, and they didn't look like Hu's clothes no matter how they looked. The etiquette they performed was also the most honorable dance ceremony in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Five Dynasties, but the movements were not standard.

Gao Qiu was also stunned. What's going on? These officials who don't look like Western thieves? And it's not right to worship him. He is not an official family, so how can he stand such a great gift?

"Who are you?" Gao Qiu asked with a frown, "Who asked you to come?"

The Xixia official who claimed to be Zhao Renli and was only in his twenties immediately replied in fluent Chinese: "Xiaochen was a local official sent to Lingzhou by the Jiedushi of the Dingnan Army, and was ordered by the Jiedushi..."

"Wait!" Gao Qiu said in surprise, "Dingnan Army Jiedu? Who is it?"

"It's Zhao Qianshun!"

"Zhao Qianshun, Qianshun..." Gao Qiu was shocked and looked at Zhao Renli in front of him, "Why is Qianshun's surname Zhao?"

Zhao Renli smiled, "The father of the Jiedushi's father, of course he must have the surname Zhao!"

"Qianshun's father is..."

"It is the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty, His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!"

What!? Qianshun is the son of the official family... Gao Qiu widened his eyes. Of course he knew that Zhao Ji wanted to be a father for Qianshun. But he didn't believe that this matter could be accomplished, nor did he have negotiated with the Western thieves on this matter. He just wanted Lingzhou City, and called him father or something. That was what Zhang Kangguo and Su Che went to discuss.

Gao Qiu thoughtfully: The talk must have been completed! It’s still Zhang Shuxiang and Su Xianggong are powerful!

"Okay," Gao Qiu nodded, and said with a smile to the several officials of the Dingnan Army who were still kneeling on the ground, "All up... Since you are all officials of the Dingnan Army, then we will be ministers in the same palace in the future, and we are all colleagues, so there is no need to perform such a great gift."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Renli stood up with a few officials from the army who were in the Defence Army, and then smiled and invited Gao Qiu into the magnificent "Prince Office" Zhao Renli arranged for Gao Qiu. The state yamen arranged by Zhao Renli for Gao Qiu was actually the Xixia Palace in Xiping Prefecture, which was a big over-the-counter!

Gao Qiu also felt that it was a bit too magnificent, but before he could find out the truth, Zhao Renli and others respectfully invited into a hall. Inside and outside the hall, of course, Gao Qiu's confidant soldiers were controlled by Gao Qiu. They entered the city first before Gao Qiu and entered the palace under the guidance of the officials of the Dingnan Army.

In the hall where Gao Qiu entered, the banquet was already arranged, all of which were the best delicacies that could be found in Lingzhou. The beauties who accompanied the wine and served them all knelt down, all of which were the colorful colors of the Western Regions, with a few unique charms.

"Shuai Xuan, these women were carefully selected by my Jiedushi for you, but they are still very eye-catching?"

"Okay, okay." Gao Qiu just responded, and didn't seem very interested. It was not that he was not lustful, but that he had money, the initiator shareholder of Jiehe Commercial City, and the favorite minister of the official family, would there be no bright colors in his family?

After Gao Qiu sat down on a chair in the head (this is Wu Zu's seat), Zhao Renli presented a gift list with a smile on his face.

"This is a little bit of my military governor's wish."

After taking the gift list, Gao Qiu raised his eyebrows a few times. Gao Qiu looked down on the gold, silver and treasures on the gift list. Isn’t it just money? Gao Qiu has some! However, there are ten Western Regions Tianma and ten Persian horses on the gift list. This is a good thing that even if you have money, you can’t buy!

"This is the report from my Jiedushi to the official family. Xuanshuai, please give me a look first?"

Zhao Renli presented several more memorials, all written in the name of Zhao Ganshun.

"See me for my official?" Gao Qiu was stunned, "Isn't that right?"

Zhao Renli smiled and said, "You have to ask the coach Xuan to pass these memorials. Now the memorial officer has not arrived in Xingzhou yet. You are always Xingling Xuanfu again, so I can only trouble you."

That's right! Gao Qiu nodded. He was Xuanfu Xingling! Moreover, the Dingnan Army was a Western thief not long ago, and the court did not send an official to Xingzhou.

So Gao Qiu took the memorial and opened it. The first memorial was to confess his guilt and call him father... His attitude was very good! The second memorial was to ask for an official request to the land, and wanted to return the Secret of the Jiedushi of the Dingnan Army, and also sought to obtain the two official positions of Hexi Jiedushi and Anxi Dadushi. He also asked to take charge of the four prefectures and four towns including Xing, Liang, Gan, Su, Gua, Sha, Yutian, Shule, Kucha, and Suoye.

"Why are there Yutian, Shule, Kucha and Saiye?" Gao Qiu felt a little surprised, "Aren't those the four Anxi towns of the Tang Dynasty?"

"It is also my land of Song Dynasty!" Zhao Renli said.

Ah? Gao Qiu was stunned. Is there anything wrong with this?

Zhao Renli said: "The four towns were all occupied by Tubo during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang, but only more than 40 years later, the rebellion of the Dabao Khotan Kingdom was recovered. This Dabao Khotan Kingdom was actually a country of China, and was loyal to the Celestial Empire for generations. Shortly after the restoration of the four towns, he submitted a minister to the Later Jin Dynasty through the Guiyi Army. The king of the country Li Shengtian was also named King of the Dabao Khotan Kingdom. The following year after the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Dabao Khotan Kingdom sent envoys to the court and was also enthroned, so it was said to be the land of the Song Dynasty. It's a pity that the Dabao Khotan Kingdom was defeated by the Chinese governor, the Khan of the Song Kingdom, and the Uighur Black Khan Yousu. Kadir Khan was destroyed..."
