Chapter 187: Dagger

The Jin-Han War in the winter of the seventh year of Xuanhe was not so much that the Dajin regime was fighting with the Han Ministry, but that Zongwang was fighting with the Han Ministry. Wu Qimai also supported Zong Wang behind his back, but obviously did not do his best, and some people with sinister intentions were already wondering whether the emperor planned to use the Pinghan War to weaken the strength of Erfang. As for Zong Han, he has always been torn between "leveling the Han by force" and "ruling the Han with the Han". It may not be beneficial for him to wipe out the Han Department now, but in the long run, there are still hidden worries about letting the Han Department develop.

It has not been a long time since the start of the battle, but the battle situation is quite tragic, although Zong Wang and Hanbu have not been injured to the root, but through this Liaokou offensive and defensive battle, they have a new understanding of the opponent's combat strength at the same time. Under the persuasion of Liu Yanzong and others, Zong Wang finally began to change his mind at the beginning and planned to negotiate peace with the Han Ministry - because he found that Wu Qimai and Zong Han had already begun to retreat, and without the full support of these two factions, it would be impossible to defeat the Han Dynasty!

However, how should the terms of the peace talks be proposed? Disarming the Han was no longer possible, and although the Han was willing to continue to recognize Dajin's suzerainty, it was far from enough for Zong Wang and Wu Qimai. And Yang Yingqi wanted to welcome back Zhi Yanchong's conditions, but Wu Qimai, Zong Han and others did not intend to meet him from the beginning.

The offensive and defensive battle of Liaokou, which lasted for more than half a month, finally stopped, and the Jin army changed from a siege strategy that was day and night to a meaningless siege strategy - encircling a city with a back gate could not weaken the combat strength and morale of the defenders in the city at all! So it sounds like a siege, but to be honest, Zongwang has given up the siege.

"Report! The team has arrived! ”

The oblique finally arrived, and with him arrived Oriyanchong and Xiao Tienu. Zong looked at Zong Gu and the others to inquire about Zhi Yanchong's situation, and heard that his life and diet were normal, and he was secretly surprised in his heart. He had the intention to summon Xiao Tienu to ask Liaonan about the truth, but before Xiao Tienu arrived, Lu Yanlun came to see Zong Han first, and as soon as they met, he accused Zong Han of not keeping the previous agreement - Zong Han's original promise was simply acquiesced in not invading Liaonan before the Song Dynasty.

Where did Zong Han still put Xiao Tienu and his civil officials in his eyes at this time? Wen Yan sneered: "This is the decision of Dajin's several fierce people, how can you wait for it!" ”

Lu Yanlun said: "Prime Minister of State, the so-called people do not stand without trust, the sixth general made such a big sacrifice, and even the name of the traitor was recalled, but the Minister of State and the second prince crossed the river and demolished the bridge, which is chilling!" ”

Zong Wang said lightly on the side: "What kind of heart! After conquering Liaonan, you will still be crowned as the capital of Liaonan and rule Liaokou and Jinmen. ”

Lu Yanlun said: "The Liaonan that was beaten down is also a tattered Liaonan, what is the use of the six generals?" ”

Zong Wang laughed and said: "Is it useful or not it is Xiao Tienu's business, you go back and tell Xiao Tienu, tell him to sharpen his weapons, and tomorrow he will go to attack the city and capture Liaokou, and I will ask the emperor to promote him again!" ”

Lu Yanlun's face changed slightly: "Second prince, what are you kidding!" Let the six generals attack Liaokou, so how will he go back to the Han Department in the future? ”

Zong Wang sneered: "Back to the Han Department? He still wants to go back to Hanbu? ”

"Of course!" Lu Yanlun said: "The sixth general has been 'compromised' in the Dajin army, in order to save the general from going back......" He forgot Zong Han and said: "Prime minister, things should be like this, isn't it?" ”

Zong Han was silent, and Lu Yanlun said again: "We have heard about the battle situation in Liaokou. The siege of the city is not what my six generals are good at. If it is a city that cannot be captured by Dajin's 60,000 troops, what is the use of sending six generals and two or three thousand men and horses to fight? ”

Zong Wang said lightly: "Then you have to fight to know." ”

Lu Yanlun gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Prime Minister, this ...... Isn't this about borrowing a knife to kill someone? Does Dajin really want to destroy my Xiao Ziqi? ”

Zong Wang squinted at him and sneered, "So what? ”

Lu Yanlun said to Zong Han: "Prime Minister, did you also decide like this?" ”

Zong Han muttered: "What you six generals sold us, now we are no longer interested, and if you want to save your life and become rich, you have to see what else your six generals can sell us." ”

"This ......" Lu Yanlun was angry, but he was helpless, and finally said: "Okay! Good! I'll go and talk to the six generals, and then I'll reply to the prime minister and the crown prince. ”

Zong Wang sneered: "You don't need it, if you have anything to say, let Xiao Tienu personally come and ask for your life!" ”

When Lu Yanlun came out of the tent, he just opened the tent door and came in. When the two met, Lu Yanlun bowed down and bowed.

Zong Han and Zong Wang both came to greet the oblique, and the oblique also sat on the main seat, and said quite dissatisfied: "Little four, why hasn't Liaokou been beaten down yet!" The fourth brother is urging him to death! ”

Zong Wang's face darkened, and he said, "Tomorrow, I will ask the fifth uncle to personally command the siege!" The fifth uncle is invincible, and this Liaokou City will definitely be able to fight down! If you don't lead the Pingzhou military horses to the south to attack Jinmen, let's see which of us gets first. He said that such angry words were clearly inclined and raised.

When he heard this, he was furious and shouted, "Little Four, what are you talking about!" Zheyan Chong has no humility, don't you have humility either? ”

Zong Han didn't want to see the two of them stiffened, so he persuaded on the side, and said, "Fifth uncle, are Zhi Yanchong and Xiao Tienu still honest along the way?" ”

"It's all honest." Xiao Tienu doesn't care, after all, he is a dog who has betrayed his master, and there is no other way than to ask us for meat to eat him, what can he do if he is not honest? It's Yan Chong, hey! I was so calm when I was detained by us! I went to see him a few times during this time and persuaded him to write a letter asking Hanbu to surrender, guess what he said? ”

"How?"

Xian Ye said: "He actually said: When he arrives at Jinmen and sees Yang Yingqi's head, he will naturally order the Han Department to surrender!" ”

Zong Han and Zong Wang glanced at each other, and Zong Han said, "Does he know the battle situation in Liaokou?" ”

"I don't know." "None of us will let Yan Chong see any outsiders these days, and the two little beasts of Puluhu and Antahai will serve him. Hum! I'm mad at the mention of these two little brutes! I really don't know if they have the surname Wanyan! ”

Zong Han pointed to Liaokou and said: "Ah Hu is also surnamed Wanyan, and now he is sharpening his knife in the city and preparing to fight with us!" ”

Xian also said: "Where can you expect the water spilled by a married woman?" Now that we have taken Zheyan Chong, the people of the Han Department will not even descend! Hmph, when I tie him up tomorrow and go to the city, see Ah Hu, a woman who has forgotten her ancestors, can not move! ”

Zong Han frowned and said, "Tie up Zheyan and rush to drink ...... Not necessarily useful. ”

"Useless?" "If it's really useless, then kill him!" ”

Zong Han sighed: "If this is the case, then wouldn't our busy work this time give the Han Department an excuse to rebel and stand on its own feet in vain?" ”

Xianya sneered: "Aren't they rebelling now? ”

Zong Han was silent, and Zong Wang said: "The matter of tying up Zhiyan and rushing to the city to surrender is too inferior. If Ah Hu is not in the city, it may be useful. But she is in the city, I am afraid it will be useless. ”

"Why is this?" ”

Zong Wang said: "If there is only Cao Guangbi or Yang Kaiyuan in the city, they are afraid of the notoriety of forcing their brother to death, and they may be forced to submit, if they refuse to give in and cause Zhi Yanchong to be killed, the Han people will also change their minds because they suspect that they are intent on seizing the throne." But Ah Hu is Yan Chong's wife, if she can bear it and not give in and let us kill Zhi Yan Chong in front of her, then the Han people will not be suspicious of her, but will only deepen their hatred for us because of this. ”

"I don't believe that the tiger girl can endure this!" ”

Zong Han sighed: "If she surrendered for the sake of her husband, how can she explain to the Han army and civilians." In that case, she just couldn't bear it, and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to open the city and surrender. After all, Ah Hu is a woman with a strong personality, and she may be mad to death, but it is not easy for her to give in. ”

Xianya shouted: "So, what's the use of us taking Orihiko Chong?" ”

Zong Han and Zong Wang were depressed when they heard this, it stands to reason that they should have the upper hand when they took the head of the Han Ministry, but as things evolved, such a dilemma would appear, which was really unexpected.

At this time, the outside of the account reported: Xiao Tienu has arrived.
