When Yang Yingqi and Ouyang Shi were showing their magic in the periphery, Cao Guangbi was sitting in Bianliang and was in the city. Although he has a belly of plans, but the court does not summon him, what can he do? In fact, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to resist the war, it is not necessary to use Cao Guangbi's cloth clothes, and there are not many knowledgeable and capable heroes in the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan have no heart to resist the war, and the talents under his command are useless!

It was not until the Jin soldiers approached that the Song Dynasty hurriedly sent Jiedu to make Liang Fangping ride 7,000 to guard Junzhou, and the infantry army commanded He Guan to send 20,000 soldiers to choke Hejin.

When the battle report came, Li Gang was so worried that he came to see Cao Guangbi again and asked the Jin people about their strategy for entering the army. Cao Guangbi is in Kaifeng, but the news network is still all over the north, because he said: "Zong Han's plan to plan the Song Dynasty has been decided early, and many spies and spies have come from the south, and they know the reality of the Great Song Dynasty." He exchanged news with Zong Wang, and knew that my Great Song Dynasty now uses the western soldiers (Shaanxi soldiers) to be the most useful, so the strategy of dividing the troops is quite predictable: Zong Han's army went to Taiyuan, took Luoyang, and used the western soldiers to aid the road, and prevented the emperor from Xingshu; Zongwang's army descended to Zhending, crossed the Yellow River, and directly covered Bianliang. If the two armies meet in the Central Plains, then our China will be worried about its destruction. ”

Li Gang was in a hurry, and the next day he played, asking the new lord to "respond to the heart of heaven, obey the desires of the people, and eliminate troubles, so that China's power will be respected, and the traitors will be punished, so that the way of the gentleman will be long, and the deputy emperor will entrust him."

Zhao Huan summoned Li Gang to Yanhe Palace. After Li Gang knelt down, he looked up at Zhao Huan's demeanor, but when he saw that this young emperor who was only in his twenties was elegant in appearance, not as graceful and fat as his father, he was grateful in his heart, and he sincerely hoped that the new lord would have a brave heart!

Zhao Huan was first established, the foundation was not stable, and he was about to win people's hearts, and after seeing Li Gang, he said: "In the past, Qing talked about floods and chapters, and I saw it in the East Palace, and I can still recite it." "When a king wants to buy the hearts and minds of his courtiers, he often talks about the old things of his courtiers, and recites a little of the old texts of this courtier, indicating that I have paid attention to you a long, long time ago—this is a common method used by emperors for thousands of years, and it is not surprising at all. Wu Min is a great contributor to assisting him in ascending to the top, and Li Gang is Wu Min's arm, and he is also quite useful in helping himself to ascend to the top, and he can't help but be enveloped.

Li Gang was stunned when he heard this, and then understood what the emperor was doing, but he had no choice but to express his gratitude on face.

Zhao Huan felt depressed when he heard the word Jin Bing, his small intestine was blocked, and his large intestine was unhappy, but he had just ascended the throne, so it was not good to show cowardice in front of his courtiers, so he coughed and asked: "Now that the country is in a critical situation, what is the plan of the secretary, it can be played." ”

Li Gang was overjoyed, and then said: "Although the voice of the Jin soldiers today is terrifying, but there is a meaning of inner meditation, the matter is bound to shrink and ask for peace, and there is an invitation to the court." "Li Gang is a person who understands and knows that with the current situation, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty to win completely. The best situation that can be achieved is to exchange some conditions that do not hurt the country's capital for a buffer of peace, like the alliance of the Yuanyuan, to stabilize the power of the Great Song Dynasty, and then gradually recover.

Zhao Huanyin asked, "What will the Jin people ask for?" ”

Li Gang said: "There are about five ministers who steal materials: if you want to be honored, one is also; If you want to get the northern country to belong to me, the Song Dynasty escapees, the second also; If you want to increase the year's coin, three also; If you want to ask for something from the master, four also; If you want to cut the territory, five also. ”

Zhao Huan was quite convinced when he heard what he said so well, thinking that none of the people around him could say it so clearly, so he asked, "If this is the case, how should it be done?" ”

Li Gang said: "If the Jin people want to be honored, such as the Khitan story, it is not a pity to use the law to mean big things and small things; If you want to escape, you should do everything you can to show your faith, and it is not a pity - only the people from the Han Department can be used as the mysterious aid of my Great Song Dynasty, and prevent the Han Department from being angry and join forces with the Jin people, and you must not protect it; If you want to increase the year's currency, you can tell the old testament to all belong to Yan and Yun, so the year's currency will be doubled depending on Liao, and now it will be broken by itself, then the year's currency should be reduced, and the country will show the old good, not more than the goods, as the original number can also; If you want to ask for something from the master, you should measure your strength with it; As for the territory, the land of the ancestors, the descendants should defend it to the death, not the size of the people! ”

Zhao Huan was weak and timid, and said: "A few days ago, the Jin envoy came to the south, and the only way to slow down the division was to cut the land and seek peace. If the size is not the same, I am afraid that he will not retreat. In addition, the Jin people have already gained several states, and my division may be anxious to recover. ”

Li Gang said: "Jin envoy speaks, big words!" Don't worry! As for the lost state, and let the Jin people occupy it, I can't make an appointment with it! Why? If he loses in battle, he will be justified in winning in battle; If it is signed in the peace treaty, then he will win the day and take the reason! May Your Majesty pay attention to these numbers, be persistent, and do not be shaken by floating discussions, but there will be no difficulties. ”

Zhao Huan said with a dry smile: "Qing Yan is very true. ”

Li Gang also stated that he had a stubborn strategy to defend against the enemy, and Zhao Huan was all good on the surface, but he had no intention of doing it seriously in his heart, just to comfort his ministers. He also removed Li Gang as a squire in the military department to collect his heart.

Li Gang recommended Cao Guangbi again, and Zhao Huan said: "He is a person who has returned, I am afraid it will be difficult to put his heart in his heart." ”

Li Gang said: "It is not okay to let him lead the troops alone, and it is okay to think that the staff is fine." ”

Zhao Huan said: "I heard that this Cao Er has a very high rank in the northern country, second only to the King of Han. If the title is lowered to him, I am afraid he will not accept it. If it is high, it is not in accordance with the laws of this dynasty. It is better to order him to wait for the edict with cloth clothes, and give the festival a salary, and all the expenses will be drawn from the internal money. If the imperial court wants to inquire about the affairs of the north, it will summon it. ”

Li Gang sighed and said: "The Son of Heaven is Shengming, and he is far away. After coming out of the palace, he came to see Cao Guangbi and said that he knew the emperor's grace, but Cao Guangbi was not happy, but sighed: "I hope to be a partial general, but I can also fight with three or five thousand men and horses." ”

Li Gang said: "Mr. Cao's return is shallow, this matter is urgent!" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "I just heard the news from the north: Zong Wang has ordered Guo Yaoshi to be the forward, riding 2,000 lightly, and traveling hundreds of miles a day. Guo Yaoshi once went to Bianliang and knew that the roads in Hebei were real and empty. Now Zhending, the rivers are no longer to be trusted, if the northern soldiers cross the river, the army will be in trouble! ”

Li Gang's color changed slightly, and he said: "The division of the Quartet Qin King has not arrived, how can it be good!" ”

Cao Guangbi said again: "If you can quickly set up soldiers to patrol the river, break the bridge, and collect all the boats that cross the river, it will be difficult for the Jin people to cross the river." Bianliang's combat readiness should also be repaired, don't wait for the soldiers to come to the city before building troops, then it will be too late! ”

When Li Gang and Cao Guangbi were discussing the battle defense, Emperor Zhao Ji was busy packing up his things and preparing to withdraw at any time, and Emperor Zhao Huan was secretly angry in the palace that he had escaped by himself but wanted to leave himself here to feed the tiger and wolf, and in Tanggu, Chen Zhenghui's ship had just entered the port.

In the snow, Ouyang Shi went to the dock to greet him, and Chen Zhenghui saw that he hurriedly went down to the deck, and saluted: "Dare to annoy the four generals to move to greet them!" ”

Ouyang Shi smiled: "What words! Not to mention that you came at the behest of your sister-in-law, just by virtue of our friendship, I have to come to pick you up! ”

Chen Zhenghui smiled and said, "What does the tiger princess mean, the fourth general knows?" ”

Ouyang Shi smiled: "Someone who has a lot of things to do has already come to talk to me." ”

Chen Zhenghui smiled: "Then I don't have to bother to speak, in short, congratulations to the fourth general!" ”

Ouyang Shi took Chen Zhenghui's hand and led him into the mansion, Chen Zhenghui saw the newly built Four Generals' Mansion in Tanggu City, and said with a slight surprise: "Four Generals, don't you like to live on a boat?" Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”

Ouyang Shi said with a smile: "The boat is bumpy, after all, it is not as good as land." Besides, now the eldest brother is in danger, and all the major events in the world are in the Central Plains of these two rivers. I set up a mansion here, firstly, to appease people's hearts, and secondly, to show Zongwang my determination: I am determined to keep the place of Tanggu! ”

Chen Zhenghui exclaimed: "The four generals are far-sighted and very human!" ”
