When Zong Wang returned from the camp of Zheyan, he sent light horsemen to raid the surrounding states and counties. At this time, although the division of the Quartet Qinwang had not arrived, there were 100,000 defenders of Bianliang, and Zongwang's soldiers and horses were only 50,000 or 60,000, but the Song army was many but not refined, and the system was bloated and useless. Zongwang also sent envoys into the city to shout and surrender - first with swords and sticks, and then afraid of loud words, this was the usual method used by the Jurchens and later the Mongols. Zong Wang also used this trick when he was in Liaokou, but unfortunately he hit a nail.

But Bianliang is not Liaokou after all, and the Song court is not the Han Dynasty. It was already night when Zongwang's envoy arrived at the city, and he was still shouting loudly under the city, ordering the Song army to open the city to greet him. The eunuch of the supervising army was drunk by the golden soldiers outside the city, and he was so frightened that he wanted to open the city gate to welcome the messenger in, Li Gang hurried to hear the news, and said angrily: "Whoever dares to open the city gate, behead!" "The eunuch who supervised the army was afraid of offending the Jin people, so he hurried to report to the emperor, Zhao Huan heard that Grandpa Zongwang sent a messenger, how dare he slack off? Frightened, he hurriedly issued an edict overnight, ordering the envoy to enter the city.

Because he had been delayed for a lot of time by Li Gang, an old stubborn, Zhao Huan had postponed the time to meet the envoy until the morning of the second day. On this day, Zhao Huan Yu Chongzheng Palace, Bai Shizhong visited Bi Shengdian to perform the matter, and led the Jin envoy into the pair, and the Jin envoy Wang Wei arrived at the Jinluan Palace, and said with a forked waist: "Now that the soldiers are coming to the city, your Zhao family monarchs and ministers have not opened the city to surrender, what are you waiting for!" ”

This is the Jinluan Hall of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan is the home field, and the Jin envoy is the away team, but Zhao Huan was so frightened by the Jin Envoy that he trembled, and he couldn't answer, Li Bangyan and Zhang Bangchang hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Wang Wei. The Jin envoy said: "This time the Song Dynasty is to punish your Zhao family for self-destruction of the alliance on the sea, you not only repeatedly provoked, first accepted Zhang Jue, and then swallowed Pingzhou, but also provoked the relationship between my Dajin Wanyan Department and the Han Ministry, and even accepted my Dajin defector!" So I was furious, so I ordered the southern expedition! ”

Li Bangyan and the others were shocked, and hurriedly said that my Da Song has a pure heart for Dajin, like a baby's parents, and there is no offense, and he said that the place where he couldn't live with Dajin before was all the ghosts of Tong Guan's traitors!

The Jin envoy said angrily: "Forget about the previous things, why are you colluding with the traitors of the Han Department now, with bad intentions?" ”

Li Bangyan and the others were shocked, and hurriedly said that my Great Song Dynasty did not collude with the Han Ministry, and the Jin envoy said angrily: "Yesterday, it was clear that someone saw the second general of the Han Ministry, Cao, going out of the city to fight, and said no!" ”

Zhao Huan and the others looked at each other, regretting Cao Guangbi to death, and wanted to sacrifice Cao Guangbi on the spot, but they didn't know how to speak for a while.

Fortunately, Zong Wang couldn't attack Bianliang, and his heart was actually a little empty, so the Jin envoy entered the city this time in fact, and at this time, he took the opportunity to step down when he got cheap, and he didn't dwell on these details, and he took out Zong Wangguo's letter, expressing his willingness to make peace, and Zhao Huan was so happy that he almost rolled off the dragon chair. The Jin army put forward several conditions: one is to increase the New Year's coin, the second is to cut the three towns, and the third is to sacrifice the fugitives. He also said: "If the emperor intends to negotiate peace, he will send his ministers to discuss in front of the second prince's army." ”

Zhao Huan almost wanted to agree to him in the court, but because of the rules of the ancestors, he couldn't make a mistake, but he respectfully sent the golden envoy out to rest, and then called the minister to discuss. Previously, according to the rules, it was not Li Gang's turn to speak, and at this time, the prime ministers had no idea, and they did not dare to ask for orders, and when it was Li Gang's turn to come down in a row, Li Gang came out of the queue and asked Zhao Huan to send him to Jinying.

Zhao Huan looked at this old stubborn eye, thinking that you old guy has a hard and smelly temper, he only knows how to protect his ancestors, and he can't understand my hard work, so he must offend Grandpa Jin Ren by sending you to Jinying. On the grounds that Li Gangzheng was responsible for managing the army, he did not allow it, and sent Li Yan as an envoy, and Zheng Wangzhi and Gao Shi as deputies.

Li Gang asked why he didn't send himself, and Zhao Huan said: "Qing is strong, and he can't go in the past." ”

Li Gang said: "Now that the situation is sharp, and my Qinwang's troops have not been gathered, so we can't disagree." However, those who make peace have the right to do not what they want. In the matter of negotiating peace, if the policy is successful, China's situation will be safe, and if the policy is lost, it will be a disaster. The safety of the sect is in this move! The ministers are afraid of Li Di and other soft cowardices, and they have missed national events! Today, the Jin people begged for the land, but they couldn't agree! He can't get all the gold he asks for! Jin Di's nature is greedy and insatiable, and there are Yan people who are cunning, planning for it, and now they are making a big noise and asking too much, which must be a glimpse of my China's courage and cowardice. If the court does not move, the measures are appropriate, and he should retreat; If the imperial court is frightened, everything it asks for is with it, and he knows that there is no one in China, and he is unbridled and worried. and begging me to offer Cao Guangbi, it is absolutely unacceptable! Military affairs, the temple is determined first and then can be responded, and the opportunity for safety is approved by His Majesty. ”

Zhang Bangchang couldn't interject all the time, and then said: "That Cao Guangbi is just a horseman, if he can dispel the hatred between the two countries, it will also be a blessing for all the people." Besides, this person's origin is unknown, and it is useless to keep it. ”

Li Gang glared angrily, so glared that Zhang Bangchang didn't dare to say anything more, and then said: "If Cao Guangbi was still suspicious before, now that the Jin people have come to seek it, all suspicions can be washed away!" Why? The enemy's jealousy will be hindered by Cao Guangbi's stay. If it is in the way of the other, it will be in my favor! This is a clear reason, and I don't need to bother to explain it. And although Cao Guangbi is clothed, he has many suggestions since he returned, and it is useless to say that it is useless. Furthermore, if I want to have peace for a long time, I will implement the policy of linking the Han Dynasty to make gold in the future. If Cao Guangbi is sacrificed, it will not only make Siyi cold, but also have a grudge with the Han Department, I am afraid that in the future, there will be one less reinforcement and one more enemy! ”

Zhao Huan had never been very clear about Cao Guangbi's affairs, and then asked: "Didn't Cao Guangbi betray the Han Dynasty and return?" ”

Li Gang said: "Although it is a return to the Song Dynasty, it may not be true of the traitors!" In the past few days, I have been talking with him day and night, and I already know the meaning of his Han department: they are afraid that once my Great Song Dynasty is not supported, his Han department will be lonely, so they really have the intention of helping, but because Zhi Yanchong was imprisoned by the Jin people, he did not dare to openly send troops! Therefore, the minister dared to guess that Cao Guangbi might have been instructed by the original partner of Zheyan Chong, but he was afraid that the Jin people would harm her husband, so he didn't dare to find out. ”

After Cao Guangbi came to the Song Dynasty, he devoted himself to the Great Song Dynasty, and the scholars and generals of Bianliang saw it in their eyes, and even had a good impression of the Han Dynasty, and the difference between the Han Department and the Jurchen Dynasty was distinguishable from Li Gang at this time.

Zhao Huan also heard that the Han Dynasty was not under the Jurchens, especially Zhi Yanchong's wife, Princess Hu, who was one zhang tall and had a waist circumference, was a figure that even the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom did not dare to offend, where did he Zhao Huan dare to provoke? Hearing Li Gang say this, he said in his heart: "A second prince is already so powerful, if there is another tiger princess, how can it be done!" From then on, he betrayed Cao Guangbi's mind, and he easily did not dare to rise again. But Li Gang's other suggestions, Zhao Huan did not listen to them, and decided to send Li Gang as an envoy, but he did not dare to understand the rejection of Li Gang, and after Li Gang withdrew from the palace, he re-summoned Li Gang and others, and secretly instructed him not to go against the will of the Jin people. It's just that Cao Guangbi needs to be as tactful as possible. Zhao Huan also promised to increase the annual currency by 35 million taels, asking for exemption from land cession. If it comes to the army, another three or five million taels of silver can be allowed. He also ordered Li Di to deposit 10,000 taels and bribe Zongwang with wine and fruit.

Li Yan and others went out of the city to Jinying on the same day, Zong Wang heard that the Great Song Dynasty sent an envoy to negotiate peace, sat in the south, and made Li Yan and the deputy envoy Zheng Wangzhi and Gao Shi arrive in front of the camp and knelt down in fright, looked at Zong Wang, bowed to the north, knelt on the ground and crawled in front of Zong Wang.

Zong Wang glanced at them, his face full of disdain. Wang Xiao, a civil official of the Jin State, passed on the words of Zongwang and shouted: "Now that you are about to break the city of Bianliang, the second prince of my family is thinking that this city is where the Temple of the Great Song Dynasty is located, so he gathered troops and did not attack, what a grace this is!" Your Zhao official family is not grateful, and you dare to raise troops to resist, you really don't know what to do! ”

Li Di crouched on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, Wang Wei said again: "Now that peace is being discussed, but my Dajin army and horses are far away, and the boats and cars are tiring, and you Song Guo must present the things of the master: 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 1 million pieces of silk and 1 million colors, and 100,000 horses, camels, donkeys, and mules." The lord of the Song Dynasty must respect my Emperor Dajin as his uncle. Those who are in the Song realm of Yanyun will return to Dajin. Cut the land of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian three towns. With the prince and the prime minister as hostages. If so, he will be allowed to retire. "Another scroll of paper came out, and all the above conditions were on paper.

Li Di kowtowed again and again: "Yes, yes." ”

Zong Wang had been friends with the Han Department for a long time and understood Chinese, so he suddenly asked, "Is Cao Guangbi in the city?" ”

Li Yan said: "Yes, yes." ”

Zong Wang snorted and said, "How many people did he bring into the city?" ”

Li Yan said: "Two ...... Two. One is called Deng Su and the other is Shi Kang. ”

Zong Wang sighed, looking at Li Yan's appearance, forgive him for not daring to lie, and said with a smile: "Yang Yingqi, this bad seed, really didn't dare to send troops to aid Song!" And he said, "Come!" Please Yan rushed over to meet his relatives in his homeland in Bianliang! "What he said soundly sounded, but in fact, he saw that Song Envoy was so cowardly, and he had the intention to use this to humiliate Yan Chong.

At that moment, a general was ordered to invite, and soon Zhiyan rushed inside, Zong Wangfang looked at the seat, and said with a smile: "I blamed you yesterday, offended, offended." ”

Zhi Yanchong didn't ask much, just said lightly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Zong Wang ordered Li Di to say, "Raise your head!" ”

Li Di raised his head timidly, Emperor Daojun likes handsome people, so the ministers and ministers around him are all delicate in appearance and weak in temperament, although Li Di is a man, and has a few wisps of beard, but the skin is more beautiful than the women of the Jin Kingdom, and the beard is also arranged fluttering like an ornament. Zong Wang was amazed: "Are all the men in the Great Song Dynasty like this? It's like a girl. ”

Zhi Yanchong didn't answer with a dark face, and Zong Wang said again: "I didn't know how Ying Qi could grow like this before, but today, I think it's like this." ”

Orihiko shouted: "I can't leave!" You don't insult my seventh brother with such things that are inferior to pigs and dogs! ”

Zong Wang smiled and said: "I originally ordered the Zhao family to send a minister here, who knew that he could send such goods, what can I do?" Haha, haha, no one wants to come to Da Song, don't worry! He shouted to Li Yan: "In addition to the clause just now, add another article: you are limited to send Cao Guangbi out of the city tomorrow, if not, don't think about peace!" ”

Li Di trembled and said, "Yes, yes......"

Zhi Yanchong suddenly shouted: "You Song envoys, raise your head and look at me!" ”

Zong Wang and the others were surprised when they saw Zhi Yanchong suddenly like this, and they didn't stop it, to see what he could do.

Li Yan and the other three of them were shocked when they heard that Zhi Yanchong dared to drink with Zong Wang, how dare they disobey at this time, raised their heads, and reluctantly said: "This king, what do you command?" ”

Orihiko shouted, "Do you know who I am? ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "Please show the king." ”

Orihiko shouted: "I am Orihiko Chong!" The Cao Guangbi you just mentioned is my second brother! ”

Li Yan and the others were shocked, not knowing how to respond, but said: "I see, I see." ”

Zhi Yanchong said again: "In order to help you in the Great Song Dynasty, my second brother actually abandoned my Han Department. If you go back, remember to pass on a word for me: Although he has returned to Song, I still treat him as a brother! ”

Li Di hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it will definitely arrive." ”

Zhi Yanchong said again: "I have another sentence to pass on to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, you listen well!" Don't miss a word! ”

Li Yan said: "Yes, yes." ”

Zhi Yan Chong said: "You tell the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty that although I, Zhi Yan Chong, am now a prisoner of the ranks, if he dares to do something unjust to my second brother, if he and I get out of trouble one day, I will definitely repay him tenfold!" ”

Li Yan and the others were shocked, and they didn't know how to deal with it, and Zong Wang over there said angrily when he heard this: "Zhi Yanchong, you are going to do it against me!" ”

Zhi Yanchong also said angrily: "My second brother has no power and no power in Bianliang, so you can't tolerate him like this?" Since I am his eldest brother, I naturally want to protect him! ”

Zong Wang sneered: "Do you think you still have the strength to protect others? ”

Zhi Yanchong also sneered: "As long as I don't die for a day, I can't allow others to bully my brother!" ”

The two looked at each other and drank each other, like two tigers fighting, and the kittens next to them didn't dare to look, and they couldn't escape, and they didn't know what to do.
