Chapter 36: Proud

Zhou Wei's attitude changed drastically, which was really unexpected. His politeness was far from over. He only heard him yell at his personal soldiers: "Give tea! Come on tea! Come on good tea! Make the tea given to me by the official!"

The personal soldiers took the order and responded and went to work hard.

Zhou Weiyu passed a chair and stood beside Wu Ji. After looking at Wu Ji, he couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect that the strange man who killed Liufeng Thieves would be so weak! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."

"You don't believe it once." Wu Ji was not polite and pointed out his doubts directly.

Zhou Wei smiled embarrassedly: "Forgive Commander Wu."

The personal soldiers brought the tea, and Zhou Wei took it in his hand and personally presented it to Wu Ji: "This tea was given to me by the official after I followed General Wang to the Xihe River. Commander Wu, please try it."

He said it very politely and proudly. The Xihe Battle was the biggest victory of the Song Dynasty, and it changed the strategic situation of the Song Dynasty, which changed from passive to active, which was of great significance.

"I'm so lucky today." Wu Ji was a little surprised. Zhou Wei was really a generous person. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea aroma was rich and the saliva was produced in his mouth. It was worthy of being given by Emperor Shenzong of Song.

"Commander Wu, tell me quickly, how did you make Xiao Qingyi confess?" This is the most important thing Zhou Wei wants to know. It is not easy to make Xiao Qingyi confess, even Song Shenzong did not do it.

Wu Ji talked about the passage, Zhou Wei opened his mouth and then opened it for a long time before he said in a tone of emotion: "So that's it! Liao Gou is also afraid of being arrogant! OK! OK!"

"General Zhou, how do you plan to settle this matter?" Wu Ji asked lightly while drinking tea.

"This..." Zhou Wei thought, "Xiao Qingyi was an envoy of the Liao Kingdom after all, and he could not be killed. Commander Wu had already tortured him so he might as well let him go. Those Liao dogs would be killed if they were killed, it was no big deal. What's more, with this evidence of crime, Isn't it just a verbal war? Who is afraid of whom? When it comes to verbal war, hum, aren't Sima Guang and others good at this? "

"That's all?" Wu Ji seemed to have some point.

"If this is not the case, what else can it do?" Zhou Wei asked, a little confused about Wu Ji's meaning, "What should I do if I follow the commander of Wu?"

"General Zhou, the tribute hall has been in Xiongzhou for so many years, and the Song Dynasty has lost all its face. Why didn't General Zhou take this opportunity to attack the tribute hall?" Wu Ji then realized his true intention.

The tribute hall was specially disgusted by the Liao Kingdom. It was a shame for the Song Dynasty and the pain in the hearts of the Song people. Countless people wanted to destroy the tribute hall, but they did not take action because it was too complicated and involved too many aspects.

"Download the tribute hall?" Zhou Wei was shocked. Wu Ji was really a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers. He even dared to think about such things: "Commander Wu, I have to say that your proposal is very tempting, and I want to agree to you. The tribute hall has made us lose all our face. If it can be destroyed, it would be so proud. However, there are too many things involved in this matter. If it is not good, it will attract the army of the Liao Kingdom, and there will be wars on the border, and countless people will die."

The Liao Kingdom has always been powerful and does not take the Song Dynasty seriously. If the tribute hall is destroyed, the Liao Kingdom will likely send a large army to attack, and the border will cause trouble. His concerns are not unreasonable.

"Haha!" Wu Ji smiled, Zhou Wei's reaction was as expected, and stood up and walked: "General Zhou, what you said is wrong. Tigers always want to eat people. Even if you don't provoke it, they want to eat people! Liao Kingdom is a tiger that eats people. No matter whether the Song Dynasty provokes Liao Kingdom or not, the Liao Kingdom will try every means to cause trouble for the Song Dynasty."

This is very reasonable. For hundreds of years, the Liao Kingdom has always found various documents to start a war with the Song Dynasty. What is the reason? It is because the Liao Kingdom covets the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and wants to repeat the events of Emperor Taizong of Liao, enter the Central Plains again, and plunder the wealth of the Central Plains.

Zhou Wei didn't say anything, nodded and expressed his deep agreement.

Seeing his intention, Wu Ji continued to analyze: "Besides, if we really want to fight, will the Song Dynasty not be able to defeat the Liao Kingdom? If we fight in a field battle, we may not be as good as the Liao Kingdom. If we defend the city, no matter how powerful the Liao Kingdom is, we will not be able to attack. The Liao Kingdom has fought for hundreds of years and captured several cities of the Song Dynasty?"

Although the Liao Kingdom had been suppressing the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, it did not capture many cities of the Song Dynasty. If it was in a field battle, the Liao Kingdom would win more than lose less. When fighting a siege, the Liao Kingdom would have a chance of winning. Otherwise, how could Empress Xiao have formed the "Zhenyuan Alliance", and there would not be Chongxi's coins to increase his coins. If he entered the Central Plains, he would have as much wealth as possible.

"The most important thing is that the annual monies dispute has begun. The Liao Kingdom has not made any major moves for several years. The more this happens, the more worrying it is. Instead of letting the Liao Kingdom prepare to fight, it is better to tease the Liao Kingdom and make it take action when it is not ready. Isn't this more beneficial to us?" Wu Ji's words became more and more attractive: "General Zhou, think about it, when will the tribute hall be demolished at this time?"

"That... let me think about it carefully." Zhou Wei did not reply immediately, but frowned, kept paced back and forth, and kept thinking.

Wu Ji didn't bother him, so he sat down and took a teacup to eat tea.

After a while of old age, Zhou Wei stopped: "Commander Wu said it very well. It is indeed a good opportunity to demolish the tribute hall at this time. However, if it is demolished, it can only be done for a moment, and there will still be endless troubles."

"What's the difficulty?" Wu Ji stood up and muttered in Zhou Wei's ear.

"Haha! Haha!" Zhou Wei laughed so happily, and his palm-smacked Wu Ji's shoulder with his palm-smacked hands and praised him loudly: "This plan is very wonderful! This plan is very wonderful!"

He slapped too hard, and Wu Ji's small body could not bear it. He couldn't stop grinning. Zhou Wei then woke up and felt very embarrassed: "Commander Wu, forgive me! I'm sorry!"

On the streets of Xiongzhou, people were coming and going, shouting and shouting, making it very lively. Suddenly, teams of Song troops drove out and left quickly.

The Song army was dispatched a lot and acted very quickly, which attracted the attention of the people, and asked each other and speculated a lot.

"Why did Changxing go out? Could it be that Liaogou called him?"

"When talking nonsense, how could Liaogou call? If Liaogou calls, it would have closed the city gate long ago and prepared to fight."

"Although the Song Dynasty could not defeat Liaogou, it was not a problem to defend the city. No matter how many wars Liaogou fought against Xiongzhou and how many people died, he did not take Xiongzhou."

Xiongzhou is the most fiercely contested city among the border cities of the Song and Liao dynasties. What the Liao Kingdom wants the most is this city. Once this city falls into the hands of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao army will march straight into the Central Plains. In order to conquer Xiongzhou, the Liao Kingdom suffered heavy casualties and still did not take it down.

"Where do you guys go?"

"Go and have a look."

The curiosity of the people was raised, and many people followed the Song army. They became more and more surprised and saw that the Song army rushed to the tribute hall and surrounded the tribute hall.

Since the construction of the tribute hall, the people have hated it to the core, but no official of the Song Dynasty dared to surround the tribute hall. This was the first time that the people were surprised and their chin almost fell to the ground. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that it was true.

What surprised them even more was that a thin young man, with a dozen people, rushed over first, pulled down the plaque with eyes on the tribute hall, and threw it to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

Needless to say, this is Wu Ji's masterpiece. Since the last time I saw this plaque, Wu Ji has been thinking of a solution. If possible, it must be ruined. This is really heartbreaking and humiliating.

Therefore, when he arrived here, Wu Ji led his personal soldiers to rush over without hesitation, took down the plaque, and destroyed it before talking about it.

Who doesn’t hate this plaque? The soldiers raised it high and smashed it down hard. The relaxed spirit in their hearts was far beyond the description of the pen and ink. This is the thing they have done in their lives and the most enjoyable thing they have done.

"Haha! So happy! Happy!"

Wu Jian and the others were laughing with their mouths splitting, and their pores were relaxed, which was even more comfortable than drinking mellow wine.

Wu Ji and the others' actions were like Mars splashing onto the powder barrel. The people saw it and shouted in unison, "Long live the Song Dynasty! Long live the Song Dynasty!"

No longer caring about anything else, he rushed over and stepped on the broken plaque on the ground, and the more he stepped on it, the more he felt, the more he was happy.

This has accumulated decades of resentment, and it erupted in one breath, like a volcano erupting, and it could no longer be stopped. The people cheered, roared, shouted, and cried with excitement. All emotions poured out like a tide, and there was a boiling moment in front of the tribute hall.

Wu Ji felt his body lightening and threw it away to the excited people. After he fell, he caught it and threw it away again. In this way, Wu Ji seemed to be in the clouds.

The people were so excited that they burst into tears, their bodies trembled, they waved their arms, and shouted desperately, "Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The roar of "Long Live the Song Dynasty" went straight to the sky, shaking the earth.

Over the years, this moment has been the most exciting, comfortable and joyful moment for the people!

Not only Wu Ji was thrown in the air, but Wu Jian, who was not the case with Wu Xing and his personal soldiers? They were angry and just wanted to destroy the eye-opening plaque. Unexpectedly, the people were so excited and threw them away.

Looking at the simple and excited faces, the soldiers were so surprised that they could not even speak.

"This is a force that cannot be ignored. If it is used well, it will not be difficult to defeat the Liao Kingdom at all. It's a pity that the Song Dynasty did not use it well!" Wu Ji saw the excited look of the people and sighed in his heart.

The same nation created the glory of China and created many legends during the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties. However, in the Song Dynasty, it was suppressed by the Khitans for hundreds of years. The contrast between them was too great.

Just as Wu Ji turned his mind, the people hugged Wu Ji and the others and rushed straight to the tribute hall. The people were too many, crowded, and there was a ruin outside of them.

The tribute hall is the pain of the Song Dynasty and the thorn in the hearts of the people. If you don’t pull the thorn at this time, when will you wait?

The Liao soldiers and the Liao Kingdom in the tribute hall all became the targets of venting by the people. The items were demolished and destroyed.

As for the Liao soldiers, they begged for mercy under the fists of the angry people, and they were beaten to death.
