Chapter 626: Stay with me to the end

Yang Zhen came here with a little hesitation. If he hadn't seen Chen Ao's decisiveness and thunderous means in eradicating the Jin people, he might not have put a glimmer of hope on Shen Ao.

Li Ganshun admired Chinese studies, but he also pushed Han officials and foreign officials to two completely opposite sides without realizing it. The replaced foreign officials naturally could not be willing to do so. All the resentment slowly accumulated. Don’t look at the Han officials at this time, but there was also a vague and extremely dangerous crisis hidden in it.

The Han officials gained power from Li Ganshun. With Li Ganshun here, the foreign officials were suppressed so hard that they could not move for a moment, but what about Li Ganzheng, who was behind Li Ganshun?

At this point, Yang Zhen had already realized that Li Ganzheng must not be allowed to inherit the Western Xia throne. Li Ganzheng could not, and there was no suitable candidate among the other sects of Xixia. So the only hope now is Chen Ao.

Of course, it was not for Chen Ao to be the heir, but for Princess Miaomiao, who was the only daughter of Li Ganshun and was also the blood of Li, so maybe she could give it a try.

This premise is to eliminate King Li Ganzheng of Yue, so as to completely attack the forces of the sect kings and foreign officials, and then slowly pave the way for Princess Miaomiao.

Seeing Chen Ao hesitating, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that Chen Ao was not as decisive as he imagined, and stood up and was about to leave.

Chen Ao also suddenly stood up and grabbed Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen looked back and said bluntly: "What advice does the prince have?"

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "I wonder how confident is what Lord Yang said just now?"

Yang Zhen did not ponder and said straightforwardly: "30%.

This time he told the truth. Facing Chen Ao, the little fox, if he didn't tell the truth, it would only make people think that he was a boastful person.

Chen Ao smiled and reached out to make a gesture of invitation: "Please sit down by Lord Yang."

Yang Zhen had to sit down again.

Chen Ao said: "Mr. Yang's meaning is already understood. Xiao Wang wants to ask, if we can get rid of King Yue, how sure will we be?"

Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "At least 70%!"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Thank you to me, and the rest must be done by Lord Yang."

Yang Zhen was stunned and said, "Does the prince want to take this wealth?"

Chen Ao laughed and looked at Pan, and said, "I will accompany you to the end!"

After seeing off Yang Zhen, Chen Ao understood why so many Han officials came to pay homage to him before, and they all came to "exploration". How could these old foxes not know that wealth and honor cannot last? For the sake of their wealth and life, and for the policy of respecting national gifts to be continued, they must seek a new backer, and this backer is actually himself.

Although he had an agreement with Yang Zhen, Chen Ao did not make any moves. He still served guests every day and entered the palace in his spare time. He also broke up with Li Ganshun without mentioning the national affairs. He just talked about some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and occasionally wielding ink, which naturally made Li Ganshun amazed.

It was winter in a blink of an eye and the weather was even colder. The envoy of the Shenwu Army, one of the five armies of the Western Xia, reported that it was impossible to refuse to lead the army out of the city to perform martial arts. In addition, the prince of the Jin Kingdom was executed in Xixia, and he might bring revenge at any time. Li Ganshun allowed him to praise the Shenwu Army's envoy Li Dan.

It was snowing heavily in the sky. At this time, the wealthy family had already put on fur coats and had a cloak on their heads. Walking on the street, they were full of bloated eyes. Chen Ao burned charcoal fire in the Honglu Temple to keep warm, and asked people to warm up. He huddled with the lieutenants, talking nonsense all over the world.

A day passed, but nothing unusual happened, but on the second day, the accident happened.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The camps of the Song army in the suburbs were cold and in addition to necessary exercises, the lieutenants stayed in the shed. When the battalions saw them, they turned a blind eye. In addition to the necessary sentry posts and garrisons, they also tried to reduce the training time as much as possible.

Fortunately, I had anticipated this situation before. The horse shed had been reinforced. I was not afraid of the north wind blowing the shed. It was usually the best horse material to supply. The veterinarians who followed the army took care of it on time, but they were not afraid of any mistakes.

Early in the morning, when morning exercises were over, news came from the sentry post that it was a few miles away, and a dark army came over. Liu Dahai, the battalion officer on duty, did not dare to delay. He quickly put down his bowl and quickly took a knife to check it out. Sure enough, he saw teams of Xixia soldiers gathering outside the camp, and the horns were blowing loudly. A horse team was running fast on the periphery, and a faint solemn aura came out.

Then a Western Xia warrior came over and Liu Dahai asked someone to open the camp gate. The warrior was not polite and said loudly in Chinese: "My military envoy wants to perform martial arts here, and you can't wait to leave the camp. If someone doesn't have eyes, you will have to take care of the accident!"

After saying that, he ignored it and left.

Liu Dahai spitted his mouth on the snow and shouted, "What do you choose to do here as a place of such a large suburb? But they chose the nearby area, and there was nothing they could do. After all, this is the land of the Xixia people, and the Song army was just a guest army.

Liu Dahai had no choice but to instruct the lieutenant to close the gate and strictly prohibit the lieutenant from going out. He also discussed with several other battalions, believing that the Xixia people would retreat after performing martial arts. But they were practicing the queue in the camp for the past two days.

Just for breakfast, the sound of drums and whistles came out, and the battalions gathered, and they all boarded horses and lined up with flags. In fact, riding horses was more difficult to rush than rushing horses. War horses were the most restless animals, not to mention that in this cold and cold weather, anxious war horses could sniff and move around at any time. To ensure that they were not moving like mountains, the lieutenant must be familiar with the intention of their war horses. Many small movements before the movements of many war horses should be detected, strangled, or touched their manes to relax.

Sitting straight on the horse, taking into account the mood of the war horse. It was really uncomfortable to be blown by the wind, but patience has long become a compulsory course for the lieutenants. No matter how hard it is, it can overcome the past.

Seeing that two hours had passed, Liu Dahai was about to withdraw his team. At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound, and then he saw a big rock flying straight towards the camp, passing over the heads of countless people, and smashing into the ground with a bang. Snowflakes splashed and blood was stained with it. A horse thundered to the end. At the same time, a captain was also shaken away. When he fell to the ground, he lost his breath on the spot.

A sudden change occurred, even if these captains were stunned for a moment, then someone rushed over, some shouted at the doctor, and some shouted: "Enemy attack!"

As the official on duty, Liu Dahai immediately became alert. While walking to the dead captain, he sniffed, shouting loudly: "Prepare for battle, don't dismount. All teams are gathering under the banner, hurry up!" He pulled out his knife, his face was extremely cold, and he called a few personal guards to take the dead captain into the barracks first, turn on his horse, and ask someone to open the gate.

The cavalry did not have to rely on camps to defend themselves, so the first time was to open the gate to prevent themselves from being surrounded by the enemy.

But at this time, the enemy did not come. The original Western Xia warrior. The warrior came over, glanced at the place, and then said lightly: "Just just now, did the stone cannon hit it here? I'll come here on the order of my army to come and take a look."

The lieutenants' anger was ignited. The Western Xia warriors clearly saw the remaining blood on the ground, but they asked this deliberately. They were extremely arrogant and had no intention of repentance. Besides, the stone cannon is a stone thrower, and the range of this thing is not too far. What's the intention of the Western Xia people deliberately put the stone cannon not far outside the camp?

Without the order of the team officer, the lieutenants rode on the horses and drew their bows and arrows, and pointed the arrows at the Western Xia warrior.

Liu Dahai was extremely angry at this time. Each of these lieutenants was the prince's treasure. If one died, he could not escape the relationship. Besides, the lieutenant was also trained by him. How deep is the friendship between teachers and students? I don't know how many times he kicked that guy's butt and how many times he scolded him for riding skills. These scenes were still turning like a lantern in my mind.

Trying to suppress the impulse in his body, Liu Dahai shouted: "Put down the bow and arrow!"

The people of Xixia said it was an accident, but if the Western Xia warrior was shot to death, it would be a provocation of the Song army. There were soldiers and horses of Xixia people everywhere. Liu Dahai knew in his heart. Besides, the prince would immediately become the prince consort of the Western Xia. No mistakes should be allowed at this time. Although he wanted to take revenge, he also understood that this matter could only be suppressed.

The Western Xia warrior was a little nervous at first. Seeing Liu Dahai asking people to put down the bow and arrows with awareness of the times, the unwilling captains could only obey at all, and they all put down the arrows dejectedly.

Seeing this, the Western Xia warrior became even more arrogant and immediately said, "If someone dies in the camp, you can report it. Our military envoys will naturally give you a few taels of silver as a way to provide pensions."

Liu Dahai gritted his teeth and said, "No need for this, but you must retreat ten miles to avoid recurrence of friction!"

The Xixia warrior said indifferently: "This is a martial arts training venue selected by the military envoy. The army has been stationed and the stone cannons have been removed. How can we leave just by saying that?" He paused for a moment and sneered: "But our military envoy said that if your prince of Song State is willing to express his affection, he might be able to be able to be harmonious."

After saying that, the Pegasus went.

Liu Dahai's eyes were full of fire, and several other battalions also came over and discussed it. On the one hand, they were preparing to cook the funeral, and on the other hand, they asked someone to go to the city to inform Shen Ao. Such a big thing was really not something they could decide, and they could only let Shen Ao make the decision.

The other captains were dejected at this time and silently scattered.
