Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 541

Counting the days now, Bo'er is only a catty? Alan should be about to give birth, so Ximen Qing decided to rush to the Mongolian Ministry to visit his wife and unborn child.

That child has half Mongolian blood, if it is a boy, he must be an outstanding warrior when he grows up!

Ximen Qing galloped away with Jiao Ting, Yue Fei and others with a good vision.

After Ximenqing left, he learned that the Song envoy wanted to negotiate the matter of Yanjing. Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin sent his cousin, Haobo Jilie of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Pujianu to meet with Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo.

As soon as Wanyan Pu's servants met, they said to them straight to the point: "Last year, my Dajin Kingdom sent envoys to your country to negotiate in accordance with the covenant between the two countries, and wanted to agree on a date for jointly dispatching troops to attack Liao.

In order to show the sincerity of our Dajin Kingdom, our army even temporarily stopped attacking the Liao Kingdom.

However, your country detained our envoys for more than half a year, and did not comment on sending troops to attack Liao. In the end, they only took an empty document to perfuse our country.

It seems that your country has no intention of joining forces with our country to attack Liao. It is just an excuse to negotiate and delay our country's war opportunity.

Our army redistributed troops in November last year, occupied Zhongjing in the first month of this year, and occupied Xijing in March. The soldiers fought bloody battles for nearly half a year before annihilating the main force of the Liao Kingdom.

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, your country hastily dispatched troops in May to take advantage of the defeated remnants of the Liao army in Yanjing City.This can't be regarded as attacking the Liao Kingdom with our army.

Frankly speaking, last year your country did not send envoys, which was a breach of trust. Although it sent troops this year, it did not march according to the agreement. This is still a breach of trust to our country.

However, although your Song Dynasty is so dishonest, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom is a man of faith. He is willing to forgive your country's dishonesty and continue to form an alliance with your country to attack Liao.

In order to show our sincerity, our country will still follow the previous agreement between the two countries, and first hand over the prefectures and counties of Xijing Road occupied by our army to you.

Now Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty Yelu Yanxi is still leading the remnant soldiers to flee in Xijing. If we don’t capture Yanjing behind him first, our army can’t go all out to hunt down Emperor Tianzuo.

Therefore, the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom has decided to temporarily ignore the remnants of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi and lead his army to conquer Yanjing City.

After the city of Yanjing is conquered, it will not be too late for your two countries to discuss the ownership of Yanjing.

Our country has sent General Wan Yan Zonghan to the border of Daizhou in your country, and the negotiations between the two countries will be much more convenient in the future. "

After listening to Yan Pu's servant's words, Zhao Liangsi noticed the subtle change in the attitude of Jin's monarchs and ministers towards Song.

Although Wanyan Pu's slave had a very kind tone, he proposed "after the victory of Yanjing City, we will talk about the ownership of Yanjing".

Zhao Liangsi believes that Jin Guo offered to hand over the Xijing area, perhaps because he wanted to exchange Xijing for the year coins negotiated in the covenant, and even if the Yanjing area was captured, Jin Guo did not intend to return it to the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Liangsi took out the terms of the covenant and said vigorously: "General Pujianu, your two countries have been friends for many years, and we have an alliance. Now I listen to the general, and your country seems not to abide by the agreement. What is the reason for this?" ?

Our two countries originally agreed that the two armies would send troops together to attack Yanjing first.After defeating Yanjing, the two armies attacked Xijing together.

In other words, according to the covenant, our Song Dynasty must first obtain Yanjing, and then deliver Xijing.

I believe that the two countries must abide by the covenant, and the order of the land delivery cannot be messed up. "

Zhao Liangsi's intention was to emphasize that the Yanjing area must be owned by the Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Pu's slave said: "Now that the Jin Kingdom is willing to give you the Xijing area first, it shows our country's sincerity.

Your country fought Yanjing for several months, but the entire army was wiped out and nothing was achieved.

Our army will fight Yanjing for you, and then negotiate, why not? "

Wanyan Pujianu grasped the fact that the Song army was defeated, and wanted to suppress Zhao Liangsi in terms of momentum.

Facing the fact that Song Jun was incompetent, Zhao Liangsi was indeed lacking confidence.However, he still tried to defend himself: "A big country should do what it says.

When I was on a mission to your country last year, the emperor of your country held my hand and said, I promised Yanjing to be owned by your country, and I will never break my promise. Even if it was defeated by my Jin army, I will return it as it is.

The promise of the emperor of your country still rings in my ears, what does the general say? "

Wanyan Pujianu sneered and said: "Before I came, Emperor Aguda said that the one who broke his promise was the emperor of your country, so the previous agreement between the two countries is invalid.

Our country is willing to send you as an envoy in your country to continue negotiations with our country, and we can let your country go without blame for the past, and promise to hand over Yanjing and 24 counties of the six prefectures of Ji, Jing, Tan, Shun, Zhuo and Yi to your Song Dynasty.

It's just that these states and counties have to be defeated by your army.

If your army is unable to capture Yanjing and the six prefectures of Ji, Jing, Tan, Shun, Zhuo, and Yi, then after our army sends troops to capture them, your country must redeem these places with old coins according to the previous agreement. "

Obviously, when Wanyan Pu's slave said these words, he had predicted that the Song army would not be able to capture Yanjing.

Chapter 831 Returning to the Begging Department

Zhao Liangsi saw that Wanyan Pu's servants spoke with contempt for the Song army, so how could he easily admit defeat.Relying on his perfect tongue, he argued with that Wanyan Pu slave for a long time.

Although Wanyan Pu's slave was regarded as a counselor in the Wanyan family of the Jin Kingdom, he did not have the eloquent ability of Zhao Liangsi.

Although the Song Dynasty repeatedly broke promises and the Song Army was extremely incompetent, Zhao Liangsi did not lose at the negotiating table.

Wanyan Pu's servant couldn't help being annoyed, he got up and sneered at Zhao Liangsi: "Hehe~ Envoy Zhao, do you think that after the Song army takes down Yanjing, you can hold the pass and prevent my army from passing through?

Maybe the envoy Zhao didn't know that the Liao army had already defeated your army when it retreated from the front line.It may not be so easy to count on your Song army to recover Yanjing. "

After finishing speaking, Wanyan Pu's servant left without looking back.

After Wanyan Pu's slaves left, Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo looked at each other. They only knew that the Song army was defeated in Yanjing City, but they didn't know that Liu Yanqing's army had been wiped out by the Liao army.

Wanyan Pu's slaves have such a tough attitude, and they also said that the Song army was defeated when they withdrew. Could it be true that there has been a change in Yan's land?

Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo were eager to know the latest battle situation between the Song and Liao armies.It's a pity that after Ximen Qing left, the news of the two of them was not so well informed.

Just when Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo were like blind men trying to figure out how to negotiate with the Kingdom of Jin, Taiwei Tong Guan's secret envoy rushed to the camp of the Jin Army and sent them Taiwei Tong's latest instructions.

Only then did Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo realize that Liu Yanqing had been defeated, and the Song army was no longer able to attack the Yanjing area alone.

Taiwei Tongguan asked Zhao Liangsi to discuss with Jin Emperor Wanyan Aguda about asking the Jin army to send troops to capture Yandi, and then hand it over to Song Dynasty.

Zhao Liangsi knew that the hard work was coming again, so he had the audacity to continue negotiating with Jin Guojun and his ministers.

At this time, after learning that the Song Army had been defeated repeatedly, Wanyan Zonghan and other generals of the Jin Army, who had placed high hopes on the Song Army, changed their attitudes drastically. , Take Yandi alone.

All the generals of the Jin army said that the Liao Kingdom was defeated by the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom with blood and sweat, and the Song Army did not contribute anything.

How could the great land of Yanyun be ceded to the incompetent and treacherous Song Kingdom?

Wanyan Aguda was unwilling to break his promise, but he had to compromise with the generals. In the negotiation with Song envoy Zhao Liangsi, he put forward more demands and needed more compensation from Song State.

Zhao Liangsi has no right to make decisions about this, so he can only say that he needs to return to the country and report to His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom decided to send the Han officials Li Jing and Wang Yongchang to accompany the Song envoys to the Song Dynasty with the letter of credence, and discuss with the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers the plan of the two countries to jointly destroy the Liao Dynasty.

Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin summoned Zhao Liangsi and others. When he was farewell for the envoy of Song Dynasty, he asked Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo who would like to stay in the camp of the Jin Army.

Zhao Liangsi was taken aback, thinking that the Jin army was going to take hostages, so he replied that there was no precedent for detaining envoys between the two countries, and the envoys of the Song Dynasty could not keep people.

Wanyan Agu opened his mouth and said: "We are marching and fighting now, not negotiating between the two countries in peacetime, we need to be flexible in everything, and we cannot be pedantic and follow the rules.
