In the camp of the Xia army outside the Zhending Mansion, Lu Gongzhu finally met Li Liangzuo, in Lu Gongzuo's opinion, Li Liangzuo and the Xia army under his command are the only people and troops who can save the Great Song Dynasty and the margins of life and death, so this time Lu Gongzhu was very polite after seeing Li Liangzuo, and also brought gifts to Li Liangzuo, of course, Lu Gongzhu also understood that in the case of the Great Song Dynasty without paying some price, Li Liangzuo would not send troops.
After getting up under the support of Li Liangzuo, Lu Gongzhu said to Li Liangzuo: "The foreign ministers came to meet the lord of Xia on the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Liao thieves are rampant and actually dig the Yellow River to flood our Great Song army, resulting in the death of 600,000 troops and millions of people of our Great Song Dynasty.
After Lu Gong finished speaking, he bowed to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "I didn't expect this Yelu Nerugu to be so mad, this thief is really a scourge of the world." ” When Lu Gongzuo heard Li Liangzuo say this, he immediately understood that Li Liangzuo wanted benefits, so Lu Gongzuo said to Li Liangzuo: "The outer city also brought a letter from His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to the Lord of Xia this time, as well as some rewards from His Majesty the Emperor. ” After speaking, Lu Gongzhu handed the letter of state to Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo took the letter of state and sat back on the dragon chair and looked at it, which roughly meant that he wanted Li Liangzuo to send troops to help the Great Song Dynasty eliminate Yelu Nelugu's Eastern Liao army, and other things were easy to discuss; After Li Liangzuo put away the national letter, he said to Lu Gongshu: "I have already understood what Emperor Song meant, but my Xia army has come here to eat and sleep in the open, and this grain and grass can no longer be maintained, I have the heart but the strength is insufficient."
Lu Gongzhu took out a gift slip from his arms and said: "This is a small gift prepared by His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for the Lord of Xia, please accept it from Your Majesty."
Li Liangzuo waved his hand and said, "It's up to Master Lu to read and listen to me, I'm too lazy to look at this." ” Lu Gongzhu then opened the gift list and said: "This thin gift is, 5,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, 10,000 horses of brocade, ten pairs of white walls, a pair of jade bottles, and a jade bucket; In addition, there are ten pairs of famous paintings, a set of Jingdezhen porcelain, and ten Jiangnan women. ” Lu Gong read a lot of it cracklingly, and Li Liangzuo was a little dizzy when he heard it, Li Liangzuo roughly calculated, but this gift list was worth at least four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, Li Liangzuo sighed silently in his heart: "It's good to be rich."
After Li Yi put the gift list in front of Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo came back to his senses, and Li Liangzuo said to Lu Gongzhu: "Emperor Song is too polite, these gifts are too valuable, I am dizzy when I say it, let them bring everything in and let me have a long experience." ” Li Yi walked to the door of the big tent and shouted outside: "Come on, bring everything in." ” With Li Yi's order, dozens of large boxes were carried in from the outside, and the last ten Jiangnan did not cross these boxes to the front, Li Liangzuo looked at these beauties and said: "This Jiangnan girl looks like a water spirit, and each of them is a flower and a moon."
Li Liangzuo said as he walked down from the dragon chair, when Li Liangzuo passed by Li Yi's side, Li Liangzuo saw that Li Yi's eyes were straight, and his mouth was full of words, Li Liangzuo said to Li Yi: "Look at it, go and choose two" Li Yi immediately shook his head and said, "This is Emperor Song's filial piety to you, how dare the last general get involved?"
Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "If you want to choose, you can choose, so much nonsense."
Li Yi smirked and walked up to the two beauties and said, "Your Majesty, the last general will want the two of them." ” Li Liangzuo said with a smile: "Okay, these two are yours, let you take them away when you leave in a while." ” Seeing Li Liangzuo and Li Yijunchen behave like this, Lu Gongzhu finally couldn't help but ask Li Liangzuo: "The matter of the Xia State Lord's sending troops" Li Liangzuo said to Lu Gongshu: "Didn't I say it just now, I also want to send troops, but I have no choice but that there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, so I can't let the soldiers of the Xia army go to war on an empty stomach."
"The minister understands."
Lu Gongshu said; "Please rest assured that all the grain and grass of the Xia army will be supplied by my Great Song Dynasty, and there will definitely be no less."
Li Liangzuo said with great satisfaction: "Since this is the case, then please ask Lord Lu to take out 100,000 stones of grain and grass first, and only with grain and grass can I send troops."
Lu Gongzhu was very embarrassed and said: "Lord Xia Mingjian, in this hurry, where do you ask my foreign minister to get you 100,000 stone grain and grass?"
Li Liangzuo said firmly to Duke Lu: "Lord Lu really doesn't want me to embarrass you, I have already found out clearly, there are 100,000 stones of grain and grass in the granary of this Zhending Mansion City, as long as the grain and grass are transported to my Xia army camp, I will immediately send troops." ” "Okay, since there is grain and grass in Zhending Mansion, the foreign minister will go to transfer grain for the Xia army."
Lu Gongzhu said to Li Liangzuo; "Please also ask Lord Xia to abide by the agreement between us."
After saying that, Lu Gongzhu was about to go out, but before Lu Gongzhu walked out of the tent, he was stopped by Li Liangzuo and said, "Lord Lu, slow down." ” Lu Gongzhu turned around and asked Li Liangzuo, "Dare to ask Lord Xia what else is going on?"
Li Liangzuo said to Lu Gongshu: "Since I promised to send troops, I will not regret it, but let's say ugly things in front, I led the soldiers of the Xia army to fight for your Great Song Dynasty is not in vain, and you must bear this military expense; In addition, every time the Great Song Dynasty city occupied by the Eastern Liao Army was captured, the land and city belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and all the grain, grass, people, silk, gold, silver and jewelry in the city belonged to our Xia army; In addition, we also want to increase the trade between the two countries, and the Great Song Dynasty will lift the restrictions on the export of tea and iron tools from our Great Xia Kingdom, and at the same time, the green and white salt of our Great Xia Kingdom will also be able to enter the territory of the Great Song Dynasty for sale. ” Although Li Liangzuo only mentioned three short articles, but these three articles are of great significance, Lu Gongzuo couldn't make up his mind for a while, Li Liangzuo continued to put pressure on Lu Gongzuo: "As long as the Great Song Dynasty court agrees to these three conditions, and Lord Lu transports 100,000 stones of grain and grass to our army's camp, I will immediately send troops; No" Li Liangzuo's words were not spoken, but the smell of threat was already very strong, and Lu Gongshu said to Li Liangzuo: "Lord Xia, this matter is very important, the foreign ministers dare not make decisions without authorization, they need to ask His Majesty the Emperor, or you can see if we can take a step back, the Lord of Xia will send troops first, and the foreign ministers will immediately set off to report this matter to Your Majesty." ” At this moment, Li Yue walked in, and Li Yue came to Li Liangzuo and knelt down and saluted: "The son of the emperor to see his father." ” "Yue'er, let's be flat," Li Liangzuo said to Li Yue.
"The son has something to do."
Li Yue stood up and said.
Li Liangzuo returned to the dragon chair and sat down and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Li Yue said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, the sons agree with the words of the Song envoy, now that the military situation is urgent, my father can send troops first; However, since we have taken a step back, then the Song envoy should also take a step back, it is better to increase the grain and grass from 100,000 stone to 200,000 stone; What does my father want?"
Li Liangzuo thought for a moment and said, "Just follow what Yu'er said."
Duke Lu was overjoyed and bowed to Li Liangzuo and Li Yue: "Thank you to the Lord Xia and the little prince, the foreign minister will go to prepare grain and grass." ” Thank you for the recommendation of 512569qd, Tianyu is grateful, and please support and take care of it
