Originally, according to the advice of the great wizard, Li Liangzuo needed at least five years of recuperation to recover well, but the plan could never catch up with the changes, one day after Li Liangzuo recuperated for two years, Li Liangzuo received a news, so that Li Liangzuo had to end his recuperation and return to the court, return to the battlefield, and return to the stage that should have belonged to him.
In the eighth year of the assimilation of Western Xia, the second year of the Great Song Dynasty Shenzong Xining, and the beginning of August of the fifth year of the Xianyong of the Northern Liao, the hot summer was coming to an end, and the cool autumn was coming.
One early morning in early August, Li Liangzuo did his own day of calm life in the Longyin Palace as usual, a rush of footsteps broke this calm, Xiao Zhuozi sent an important piece of information that Yipintang got from the Southern Liao Xijin Mansion to Li Liangzuo's hands, Li Liangzuo asked Xiao Zhuozi after reading it: "When is this happening?"
"Three days ago."
Xiao Zhuozi replied to Li Liangzuo.
After two years of cultivation, Li Liangzuo was able to speak, and Li Liangzuo immediately ordered Xiao Zhuozi: "Prepare the horse, I want to return to the palace." ” Xiao Zhuozi was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, your illness has just improved, the great wizard said, you should rest in peace." ” Li Liangzuo glanced at Xiao Zhuozi unremittingly and said: "Do you think my heart can calm down now, hurry up, delay the fighter, and I will cure your crimes." ” Li Liangzuo had just stepped out of the palace gate, to be precise, he was stopped by the great wizard, and the great wizard bowed to Li Liangzuo and said: "I know that Your Majesty has made up your mind, but please Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty's vitality has not fully recovered, and you must not overwork." ” "I remember, thank you, Master."
Li Liangzuo expressed his heartfelt gratitude; To be honest, Li Liangzuo is still very grateful to the great wizard, if it weren't for the great wizard, it is estimated that Li Liangzuo would have seen the king of Hades.
In order to express his gratitude to the Great Wizard, Li Liangzuo immediately issued an order: "The Great Wizard received the decree, and from now on, the Great Wizard will be crowned as the Imperial Protector of the Great Wizard, and I hope that the National Master will protect me from the Great Xia Country, and the country will be safe and healthy." ” The Great Wizard immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and obey Your Majesty's holy decree." ” Li Liangzuo returned to Xingqing Mansion under the protection of his own soldiers, returned to the palace, Li Liangzuo's return made the entire Xixia court and the palace excited, Li Liangzuo This can be said to be the return of the immortal emperor, since it is the return of the emperor, then there should be momentum, Li Liangzuo's first thing to return to the palace is to convene the ministers to discuss matters, and at the same time order the central army stationed in Xingqing Mansion to reorganize the army.
In the palace council hall, Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were lined up on both sides, and on the surface, Li Liangzuo was not the slightest sickly; This is the first time in two years that Li Liangzuo has accepted the worship of the ministers, and the ministers knelt down to Li Liangzuo and saluted: "The ministers bow to see His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ” Li Liangzuo likes this feeling, this feeling of being worshipped, Li Liangzuo said in high spirits: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ” "Thank you, Your Majesty," the ministers said, getting up.
Li Liangzuo said to all the ministers without the slightest concealment: "I have obtained accurate information, Yelu Chongyuan has already traveled westward with a crane, and now Southern Liao is in chaos, Yelu Nelugu and Yelu Mu The two brothers are about to fight, this is a chance given to me by God, and it is also a chance given by God to the Great Xia Kingdom and you, whether the Great Xia Kingdom can become a real great country depends on this time." ” "Your Majesty is Shengming, and the ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty to expand the territory and establish meritorious deeds for all generations," the ministers clapped their sycophants in unison.
"Okay."
Li Liangzuo said with great joy; "I'm waiting for the monarchs and ministers to work together, who else in this world can stop my invincible iron horse, hahaha" At this time, Li Liangzuo was a little nervous, and Li Liangzuo asked the ministers below: "Where is Zhou Wentai, the deputy military envoy?"
"Wechen is here."
Zhou Wentai stood up and said.
Li Liangzuo said to Zhou Wentai: "Let's tell everyone about the situation in Liao."
"Yes."
Zhou Wentai immediately reported; "According to the information we have so far, the Southern Liao Emperor Yelu Chongyuan died suddenly a few days ago, and the current domestic situation in Southern Liao is very chaotic; The Southern Liao country is roughly divided into two parts, one is headed by the crown prince Yelu Nerugu, and the other is headed by Yelu Mu, the king of Yan; At present, Yelu Nerugu controls the Liaoyang Mansion of Tokyo Province, and Yelu Mu, the king of Yan, basically controls the Nanjing Dao Xijin Mansion, but in terms of overall strength, Yelu Mu still has to be in Yelu Nerugu; In addition, in the past two years, under the continuous blows of Southern Liao, the strength of the Northern Liao has been greatly weakened, and Yelu Hongji has basically lost control of the Monan and Mobei grasslands, and now the grassland departments have fallen into chaos, and many small tribes have been annexed; In addition, the Jurchen tribe located in the eastern part of the Liao State has also escaped from the control of the Liao State, and the current Liao State is a state of war and chaos among the princes."
Li Liangzuo's face was dark, but he said with joy in his eyes: "Now that the situation in Liao is chaotic and the people are living in dire straits, I can't bear it, so I decided to raise troops in the midst of the people and the war. ” "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming" the ministers praised Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo stood up from the dragon chair and said to the ministers: "The ministers listen to the order, I have decided to start an army to invade Liao from now on, and I will give you ten days between the people and the fire and water, and after ten days, I will personally conquer the Liao country." ” "The ministers respectfully obey Your Majesty's holy decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
All the ministers knelt down and saluted together.
