Chapter 102 Please Be Loyal and Brave to Strengthen Our Country's Prestige!
Zhao Zhen saw the moment when the British Duke Zhang Fu stepped into the Zichen Palace.
His expression finally felt relieved.
With Han Zhang in literature and Zhang Fu in military affairs, Zhao Zhen could sit back and relax.
In 'Do you know', if Zhang Fu had not been in the capital and had not obtained the imperial edict, there would never have been a rebellion.
For example, the Rebellion of the Two Kings also occurred when Zhang Fu left the capital and inspected the barracks.
Because as long as Zhang Fu is here, the army of Zhou Dynasty will not be in chaos, just like the magic needle that fixes the sea!
When the envoys of Liao and Xia heard what Zhang Fu said, they responded one after another:
"We will test martial arts and archery. If we, Daliao, win, then from today on, we, Daliao, will lead the mutual trade between the two countries!"
"If I, Daxia, win, then I, the leader of Daxia, will be called the Son of Heaven and will no longer be a subject to Dazhou!"
In fact, Li Yuanhao has already called himself the emperor.
But on the surface, he still bowed to Zhou Dynasty.
If you want to no longer call yourself a minister, you don't simply call yourself "I", but you have to declare it openly and openly to the people of all countries, and let the Emperor of Zhou agree.
But allowing Xixia to establish a kingdom has become a pain in Zhao Zhen's heart. He will never allow Xixia to no longer surrender to the Zhou Dynasty.
Otherwise, a hundred years from now, future generations will say that he is an incompetent king who only knows benevolence and righteousness!
He wants both civil and martial arts!
Zhang Fu said: "How many people do you have from each of your two countries?"
Ye Luxin, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, responded first and said, "Send out three people each and compete in three competitions. One is martial arts, the other is archery, and the third is riding. How about that?"
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the martial arts and archery skills. As for the riding skills, it should refer to the competition on horseback.
Including but not limited to archery, martial arts, etc.
Zhang Fu looked at Zhao Zhen, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, a small barbarian country wants to challenge our great dynasty. I have the courage to ask for orders to accept the challenge. I hope your Majesty will agree!"
The latter nodded and said: "Yes."
Zhang Fu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ye Luxin said first: "I wonder who your country plans to send for the first competition?"
Zhang Fu smiled and said nothing.
After a while.
A voice sounded outside the hall, "Zhongyongbo Weiyuan has an audience!"
The officials looked outside the palace.
Zhao Zhen said excitedly: "Xuan!"
With Wei Yuan here, he, Zhang Fu and even all the officials were confident that they would win the first battle!
After all, who in the world doesn't know that the Weiyuan Formation killed seven Xixia generals?
However, Liao and Xia are also very smart.
The three parties sent three people to each other to compete.
In other words, Wei Yuan could only play against Xixia and Liao once each.
In the next game, such as a shooting competition, Wei Yuan will not be able to compete.
Wait for Zhao Zhen to finish his words.
All the officials saw Wei Yuan in armor holding a sword coming into the hall.
This was after the army's triumphant return.
Those civil servants saw Wei Yuan wearing armor for the first time.
More than majestic can be described.
Between the brows, there is still a heart-stopping murderous look.
That look alone is enough to make most people shudder.
"The last general, Wei Yuan, pays homage to your majesty. May your majesty live for ten thousand years and the Great Zhou Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
After Wei Yuan entered the palace, he bowed to Zhao Zhen.
He was wearing armor and it was inconvenient for him to kneel down and kowtow.
The momentum was like a rainbow, spreading through heaven and earth, shocking everyone.
He didn't call himself a 'subordinate', but called himself a 'final general'. It can be seen that Wei Yuan entered the hall with certain intentions.
When Liao envoy Ye Luxinxian and Xia envoy Li Liangzuo saw Wei Yuan, their expressions became a little solemn.
They had heard of Wei Yuan's deeds.
After arriving in the capital, I heard that people in the capital ranked the two of them as famous generals among the younger generation in the world, along with Wei Yuan.
"Wei Qing, the envoys of Liao and Xia want to compete with me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. What do you think?"
Zhao Zhen, who was sitting high on the throne, spoke slowly.
Wei Yuan glanced at Ye Luxin and others, and said casually: "A martial arts contest? Let's join together!"
Go together?
As soon as these words came out, all officials and even Zhao Zhen were shocked.
On the other hand, Zhang Fu, Gu Yankai, Xu Changzhi and others looked calm.
It seemed that Wei Yuan said something commonplace.
"Wei Qing, don't be reckless."
Zhao Zhen reminded.
Wei Yuan said firmly: "Your Majesty, I am sure of the end!"
After a pause, he looked at the envoys from Liao and Xia and said with a smile:
"Go together!"
The few warriors brought by Ye Luxin and Li Liangzuo all looked furious.
Because they heard contempt from Wei Yuan's tone.
Ye Luxin first smiled and said: "General Wei, if you lose, it will be equivalent to a defeat for your country."
"You still want to insist, shall I send people to the battle with Ambassador Xia?"
For Wei Yuan, if he wins alone, he will get at most two words of praise from the emperor.
But what if we defeat the envoys of both countries at the same time?
The difference is huge.
First, it can make Liao and Xia lose face. After all, if they lose two against one, how can they not be embarrassed?
Secondly, it can make Zhao Zhen Longyan happy and take the opportunity to show his true level to the officials and Zhao Zhen.
As for why Wei Yuan is so confident, his strength does not allow him to keep a low profile.
After defeating seven generals in the battle of Daizhou, Wei Yuan had a more in-depth study of martial arts.
Wei Yuan really didn't take the mere envoys of Liao and Xia seriously.
"Since General Wei is so confident, if he fails to become General Wei, it will seem that Daxia and Liao Kingdom will not give General Wei this face."
Li Liangzuo was very proficient in the official language of the Zhou Dynasty, and he had in-depth research on Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and the art of war.
Wei Yuan said: "We can't do anything here, let's fight outside the palace!"
He seemed extremely domineering.
Zhao Zhen wanted face, Wei Yuan earned it for him.
If he didn't come forward now, when would he?
As a military general, it is not easy to make a few military achievements!
At this moment, including Xu Changzhi, Wei Yuan and others looked at the Xia Liao envoys with fiery eyes.
It seemed that they had already regarded them as walking military achievements.
Then.
Zhao Zhen stepped down from the dragon chair and came to the outside of the palace with the officials.
The warrior sent by the Xixia envoy was a bald strong man holding an iron hammer, named Tuoba Baoren.
This man and Tuoba Cunxiao were cousins.
It's just that the two chose different official career paths.
Tuoba Baoren chose to assist the Xixia prince Li Liangzuo.
Tuoba Cunxiao wanted to gain military merits on the battlefield, and his loyalty was to Emperor Li Yuanhao.
The Tuoba clan had a high prestige in Xixia.
Li Yuanhao's ancestors were named Tuoba.
Later, because his distant ancestor Li Sigong made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, he was given the national surname "Li".
The warrior sent by the Liao Kingdom was named Yelu Chongbao.
The national surname of the Liao Kingdom was "Yelü", but he did not belong to the royal family.
However, the surname Yelu has its own aura of glory in the Liao Kingdom.
More than half of the ruling class of the Liao Kingdom had the surname "Yelü".
Yelu Chongbao held a halberd.
The halberd is a weapon that few people use, but if used well, it is enough to be called a famous general of the time.
At this moment.
Wei Yuan held a Guandao.
Tuoba Baoren and Yelu Chongbao were standing on the left and right sides of Wei Yuan.
The battle was about to break out.
At this moment.
Yu Shilang of the Ministry of War saw that all the officials were witnessing this battle, and he suddenly remembered that he had offended Wei Yuan in the Zhang family.
He planned to take this opportunity to help Wei Yuan.
After a pause, he said to Wei Yuan solemnly:
"Liao and Xia are bullying us too much. Please help us, the loyal and brave one! Help us!"
Don't underestimate the power of this sentence.
If Wei Yuan can defeat the envoys of the two countries today, with the help of that sentence, he will be famous in history.
Xu Changzhi would naturally not miss this opportunity to help Wei Yuan, and also echoed:
"Please help us, the loyal and brave one!"
With the two of them speaking one after another.
The resentment of the civil and military officials towards Liao and Xia was completely aroused, and they all bowed and said:
"Please help us, the loyal and brave one!"
"Help us!"
"."
The voices came one after another.
This battle is destined to be recorded in the history books and to be praised by all people.
Wei Yuan held the Guandao in his hand, stood in a horse stance, and said disdainfully:
"Let's go together!"
I am a little tired today, and my shoulders, neck and spine are a little uncomfortable. I will adjust my condition and update twice today.
