At the beginning, Zong Han sent a secret envoy to pass through many barriers, met Zong Bi, and stated the meaning of the alliance of the four families of Zong Han, the two regimes hit it off, and soon decided to join forces, Zong Bi sent a secret envoy to Zong Han to reply, saying that he would try his best to win over the Great Song Dynasty and raise troops in the southeast to echo.

Yunzhong and Henan are separated by the vast territory of Hedong and Hebei, although the people-to-people contacts on the border of Jin and Han are not completely isolated, but it is also very difficult to communicate with each other, Zong Han's secret envoy can see Zong Bi is a fluke, Zong Bi's envoy is not so good luck, several envoys have their own encounters after crossing the river, and they have not been able to enter the clouds for a long time, one of the envoys was attracted by the scene under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and felt that there was no future for following the remnant Jin regime, so he turned apostaty to Xu Wen stationed in Hanoi, and told all his knowledge.

After Xu Wen got the news, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately wrote the results of the interrogation into a secret letter, and sent it to the Daimyo's Mansion together with the secret envoy of the Jin State.

Zong Bi's messenger was still on the road at this time, but Xu Wen's secret letter and Cao Guangbi's recital arrived first. Guo Hao hummed after reading the content of the secret music: "They really have such a big appetite, they actually want the four families to join forces to divide my Han country!" Although he was angry, his guttural voice trembled slightly, and he thought that there was a fear in his heart—he was the deputy privy envoy and the secretary of the military department, and he knew better than the other ministers about the military situation that the Han court was now facing.

Ouyang Shi said: "If the confession of this secret envoy is true, then ...... The Song envoy and the summer envoy who just came are ill-intentioned! ”

"They have bad intentions, that's obvious!" Zhi Yunwu said: "The important thing now is to find out whether they have joined forces. If they join forces, where will they attack and where they will meet! Zong Bi's secret envoy must be summoned to Beijing as soon as possible and ask for clarification. ”

Guo Hao groaned: "Judging from the content of the report, this secret envoy has not only been interrogated by Xu Wen, but also by Cao Shuai. He should be summoned to Tanggu, but he may not be able to ask anything new. However, judging from the news from this messenger, although Zong Bi has decided to join forces, Zhao Song may not have agreed. There is also the Western Xia side, and the situation is also unknown. ”

Zhi Yunwu asked: "The envoy clearly said that the four families have decided to join forces, why did Lord Guo say that Song Xia may not have agreed?" ”

"Prince, I'm inferring from common sense." Guo Hao said: "Judging from the confession of this envoy, Zong Han and Zong Bi's conditions for agreeing to each other are very specific, in comparison, the requirements of the two kingdoms of Song and Xia and the promise of Zong Bi and Zong Han to the two kingdoms of Song and Xia are very broad, which is clear that Zong Han and Zong Bi have not yet persuaded Qianshun and Zhao Gou. ”

Han Fang shook his head and said, "Otherwise! When this envoy set off from Kaifeng, Zong Bi had obviously reached a tacit understanding with Zong Han, and the eyebrows between Zong Han and Zong Bi and Xia and Song respectively probably began earlier. The envoy went around Hedong for another two or three months, and because he saw that there was no hope of success, he went to Xu Wen to tell the truth, and then Xu Wen transferred it to Cao Shuai, and from Cao Shuai to us, it took another period of time. Even if they had not yet negotiated with the Western Xia and Song families when this envoy set out, it was difficult to say what had happened in the past few months. ”

When several ministers heard this, they all said that it was reasonable, and Zhi Yunwu asked Ouyang Shi: "Fourth uncle, how do you think you should deal with this matter?" ”

Ouyang Shi pondered for a moment and said: "Now our good steel and iron are all used on the knife of Mobei, not only to calm the desert, but also to deal with Yunzhong, Henan, Xixia, and Zhao Song at the same time, that is absolutely impossible!" For today's plan, the only way to do this is to respond to all changes with the same. ”

Zhe Yun Wudao: "Respond to all changes with the same? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Mobei uses rigidity on the side, and we should use softness on our side." Mobei side to win, our side to seek peace. Everything will wait for the big brother to come back. No matter what happens before this, we should seek stability rather than victory, as long as we can support the eldest brother to finish the battle of Mobei and support him until he comes back, it will be a success. ”

Han Fang and Guo Hao both nodded when they heard this: "Not bad." Han Fang said: "Your Majesty said before setting off that we only need to stabilize the situation, and we have made a great contribution!" ”

Zhe Yunwu said: "What does the fourth uncle mean is to compromise with them?" ”

"A big husband can bend and stretch." Ouyang Shi said: "Governing the country and seeking the country is to pay attention to both rigidity and softness, and do what you can. Today's bend is for tomorrow's extended. ”

Zhi Yunwu said: "But I'm worried that blindly showing weakness will attract their attacks." ”

"Softness does not mean weakness." Ouyang Shi said: "That's just a technique in negotiations. As long as it is handled properly, it can stabilize them temporarily. What we want now is a procrastination! ”

Guo Hao heard this: "The procrastination of the marshal is very pointed. At the moment, we really can't afford to fight, and once this battle is fought, defeat is the fall of the society, that is, victory, and a tragic victory. So if we can drag it out, it's better to drag it out, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us. ”

Han Fang also sighed: "Yes, it's only delayed." ”

Zhi Yunwu looked at a few ministers, and saw that they were either speaking with solemn faces, or bowed their heads in thought, thinking, "They have no better way." In fact, he also understands that military affairs are about strength and national strength, and it is not like the storytelling in the market that can solve the problem with a few resourceful people's heads. However, he still hoped that the ministers would come up with better ideas, after all, they were all older than him, but the result of the discussion, although he expected, made him feel a little disappointed.

At this moment, a report was reported outside the door that Yang Xiang was coming, and Zhi Yunwu was overjoyed: "Uncle Seventh is here, he has always been full of tricks, I don't know if he has any clever plans!" ”

The door was pushed open, Yang Yingqi stepped in, and under the candlelight, I saw that his face was a little pale, much thinner than half a year ago, and there were two conspicuous poisonous sores on his lips, which really looked like a sick man.

When Ouyang Shi saw him like this, he exclaimed, "Old Seven, are you really sick?" It turned out that the brothers had never met since he came to Tanggu.

Yang Yingqi glared at him and said, "Do you think I'm pretending to be sick?" The sound was quite unnatural, as if it had bitten his tongue, but it was actually because he also had a small sore on his tongue.

Zhi Yunwu hurriedly invited Yang Yingqi to sit down, handed over the secret music and said, "Seventh Uncle, take a look, Zong Han, Zong Bi, Zhao Gou and Wei Ming Qianshun are going to join forces!" ”

Yang Yingqi did not have any unnecessary surprise on his face, and he did not look at the secret performance handed over by Zhi Yunwu, but took out an official document from his arms, Zhi Yunwu looked at it, and said in his heart: "I am confused, I received the secret music here, and the seventh uncle naturally received the official document." I thought that before Yang Yingqi came, most of them had already read the official document.

Yang Yingqi said: "I'm really sorry to have you wait just now." I know the matter, before I come, can we discuss what the outcome is? ”

A few deputy prime ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and there was silence for a while before Zhang Hao said: "The meaning of the four generals is to respond to all changes with the same and delay as much as possible." ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "What the fourth brother said is right, for now, that's the only way." ”

Zhi Yunwu still hoped that Yang Yingqi would have further ideas, so he asked: "Seventh Uncle, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, do you have any way to open up the situation a little?" ”

Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "No." Now our strength is at a disadvantage, and we can't take the initiative to attack, so we can only see the moves. They've not made a move yet. ”

Probably because of the relationship between the two poisonous sores on his lips, he tried not to let his mouth open too much when he spoke, so his voice couldn't help but sound a little weak, and his face was a little burnt. Zhi Yunwu was obviously not satisfied with Yang Yingqi's answer, and said: "I'm afraid that we will dismantle the move when they make a move, and it will be too late!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "But now the internal and external situation is still unclear, and if you make random moves at this time, I am afraid it will add to the chaos." Besides, whether it is Juyongguan, northern Jin, or Xiabian, or the Yellow River, the military has already prepared what it can prepare, and if our center wants to do anything, it is to remobilize, which may easily expose flaws. Let's take a look first, just like the fourth brother said, to respond to all changes with no change. ”
