The sun has not yet risen, but the air is already filled with the cold air of dawn, and a bright morning star hangs in the distant sky, like a lonely eye staring at Bianjing at the beginning of dawn.

After fighting fiercely for most of the night and losing more than 300 people, Wanyan Zongwang and Guo Yaoshi, who were bent on capturing Bianjing, finally chose to withdraw their troops and make a truce.

Zhao Huan at the head of the city also breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, the first battle for the defense of Bianjing is over, and the most important thing now is to seize the time to rest, and by the way, find a way to boost morale.

After thinking about it, Zhao Huan simply instructed Wuxin: "Let the imperial chef, the hall chef, the Hanlin Division and the inner kitchen of the harem hurry up and cook the rice, don't have any tricks, just put more meat, and send it to the city when it is ready."

Remember to tell them that I eat the same food as the soldiers, and if anyone dares to play any tricks on me, I will ask for their heads! ”

"Waiter and wait!"

As soon as he wanted to leave, Li Gang immediately came over: "The official family, the official family said before that those who kill one person will be rewarded with five taels of silver, but the money in the treasury has been taken away by the emperor, and the sealing warehouse has been empty as early as the reign of Emperor Renzong, and although the gentry and people in the city donated money, it was far less than 500,000 yuan......

Zhao Huan knew what Li Gang was worried about.

The 20 million money in the treasury was taken away by Zhao Jixiang, and since the time of Renzong, the sealing pile warehouse was pried by the courtiers to pry the floor tiles, and after finding the last more than 3,000 money to take away, there has been no money in the sealing pile warehouse......

As the saying goes, money is a hero's courage, and no money is difficult for a hero.

How did the historical planters die? Because when the middle part of the seed division retreated to Kill Bear Ridge, there was no money to give rewards to the soldiers who operated the god arm bow in the army, so these soldiers scattered and ran away, and the seed division could only die alone.

I bragged before the war, and now if I can't come up with the money, then I'll be very happy.

"Official?"

Unintentionally bowed down and said in a low voice: "Before the emperor visited Bozhou, there was a faint flash of fire in the sealing warehouse, and the emperor was in a hurry, and 20 million yuan was ......."

Zhao Huan's heart moved, and he commanded in a low voice: "Go to the pile sealing warehouse and take a look, see if there is anyone who has money and dares to stand in the way, just kill it."

If there is money in the stake vault, I will take it directly according to my instructions, and if not, let the treasury quickly print the five face value of the banknotes, and stamp my small seal as a proof. ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Huan said to Li Gang again: "How many were beheaded last night?" How many casualties did my eldest Song boy have? When will the military merit be counted? ”

Li Gang was stunned for a moment and replied: "Back to the official's house, seven out of 320 beheaded last night, and our troops were killed no less than 500 in battle, and no less than 1,000 were wounded. As for military exploits, it is estimated that they will not be counted until noon or evening. ”

Zhao Huan hummed and said: "Tell the soldiers that the money will be sent to them in a while, and the soldiers killed in the battle will be doubled." The rest will be sent after the statistics of the soldiers in front of the palace are counted. ”

Li Gang's heart suddenly had confidence-

Although the official family directly intervened in the affairs of the army without making a sound, this just shows the attitude of the official family, and the problem that he is most worried about is simply superfluous!

But when someone from the city came over and shouted that he was the envoy of the Dajin Kingdom and wanted to enter the city for peace talks, Li Gang couldn't help but panic a little in his heart.

There are too many times that the official family is capricious, and the credibility is probably like that......

Zhao Huan opened his eyes and saw that there was only one envoy under the city, so he snorted dissatisfiedly and instructed Li Gang: "Tell him that he doesn't have to go to the city, for the good of the two countries, I am going to send an envoy to the Jin army camp later."

Also, when Li Qing waited for the court meeting, he first wrote down how many Aiqing did not come, and then went back and told Wuxin that he would let the Imperial City Division send all these ministers of mine to be with Li Bangyan. ”

Since you come out to mix, you must have courage and be trustworthy.

Zhao Huan remembered that he had reminded those ministers before, asking them to come to the city in time to participate in the early dynasty, if they didn't come, they would be imprisoned, and it was time to cash in now.

At the very least, if you say that you kill the whole family, you must not let go of a dog.

……

War means death.

The corpses of Bianjing City are all over the field, and there are Song soldiers and Jin soldiers in the staggered corpse pile, some of whom have been hacked to death, and some of whom have been thrown to death, and the corpses are full of blood that has been leached out and frozen, and there is even a little rustling feeling when stepping on it.

Wu Xiaomin, whose face was gloomy like water, strode in front, crying and mourning the Great Song Dynasty officials who followed behind, but Li Di, who also knew the affairs of the Privy Council, only felt that his legs were faintly trembling, and it seemed that every step would bring him closer to death.

Especially when Li Di saw the Jin soldiers who were glaring at him on the side of the road, Li Di, who was completely frightened, knelt directly on the ground before he walked to the tent, and even forgot all about what Zhao Huan had just ordered and the words he had thought out in advance-

Originally, it was not easy to rush to Xuanzemen to participate in today's early dynasty, but after he arrived at the city, he got the will of the faint monarch to appoint him to envoy to the camp of Jin Guo's father.

That's Jin Guo's father! Father Jin sent people into the city to negotiate peace, but the faint king not only did not receive the envoy of Father Jin, but he did not even prepare gold and silver gifts, and he did not even let the messenger of Father Jin take a sip of hot water!

After Yan Zongwang looked at Li Di, who came over on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, his face, which was as black as the bottom of the pot just now, suddenly became a little better, and even ordered his own soldiers to help Li Di up.

If the courtiers of the Song State are like Li Di in front of them......

After being helped up by Yan Zongwang's personal soldiers, and seeing that Yan Zongwang's face looked better, Li Yan remembered why he came: "Lower country courtiers, serve ...... At the behest of my lord, I came to discuss with the general...... Negotiate peace. ”

Wanyan Zongwang snorted, but Guo Yaoshi, who was standing next to Wanyan Zongwang, shouted: "What are you talking about!" If there is really a sincere agreement, the lord of your family should send cattle and sheep to work in the army, why only send you here! ”

Wu Xiaomin also answered in a timely manner: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, I am afraid that the little emperor of the Song Kingdom has no sincerity to negotiate peace at all, otherwise he would not let the lower officials drink the wind under the city for a long time?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang's face turned cold, and he remembered Zhao Huan's scolding in the city last night, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in his heart, and shouted: "Since you don't want to negotiate peace, then you can go back directly and let your little emperor come to fight with his army!" ”

"The second prince is angry! My lord really wants to negotiate peace, otherwise how could he send his subordinates here? ”

Li Di suddenly knelt down again, first begged Yan Zongwang, and when he saw that Yan Zongwang was unmoved, he turned his head and shouted to Guo Yaoshi: "Mrs. Guo forgive your sins!" I just ask Mrs. Guo to read a few kind words in front of the second prince on behalf of his subordinates in the past! ”

Pharmacist Guo suddenly changed color: "What Mrs. Guo! In the past, the official saw that he didn't know what was going on, and he was deceived by you Zhao Song, so he succumbed to the thief, but now it's already anyway! ”

Turning around and arching his hand towards the north, Pharmacist Guo continued: "Meng Sheng will not give up, and he has appointed this official to stay in Yanjing of the Dajin Kingdom, and he has given him the surname Wanyan." With such a heavenly grace, this official should be loyal to Dajin, but it is not uncommon for you to be the official position of Zhao Song! ”

Li Yan's face turned pale, and he raised his head and looked at Pharmacist Guo stupidly-

At the beginning, Emperor Huizong asked Guo Yaoshi to hunt down and kill Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, Guo Yaoshi looked like weeping at that time, saying that even if he surrendered, he would miss his old master.

"Tianzuo, the minister is the old lord, the country is broken, and the minister is surrendering. His Majesty's envoys are ordered by him, and he does not dare to resign, if he rebels against the master, His Majesty is willing to pay others. ”

At the beginning, his performance was deeply appreciated by Huizong, who gave him two golden basins and a royal bead robe, and the official inspector of the school master, and now he surrendered to the golden man again, but he put on this face again!

Wanyan Zongwang was deeply satisfied with Guo Yaoshi's performance, nodded slightly, and then asked his soldiers to help Li Di, who was paralyzed on the ground, and said: "If your emperor really negotiates peace, it is not difficult, as long as he meets the conditions of this prince, this prince can withdraw from the army, and the Song and Jin families can also cultivate the alliance forever." ”

After Li Yan saw that Yan Zongwang was willing to negotiate and withdraw from the army, his heart suddenly settled down greatly, bowed down, and bowed: "The minister of the lower country, I thanked the second prince on behalf of my lord." ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, and after a deep sigh, he continued: "However, this southern expedition to your country was originally the first time that your emperor broke the covenant without permission, and your new emperor resisted the army behind, is this condition......

First, my Dajin army went south, and I spent a lot of money, so I asked your emperor to compensate me Dajin 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, and 1 million pieces of silk. ”

Li Yan's heart was more stable.

It is easy to ask for money, although the amount of five million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver is amazing, but since ancient times, it has been asking for a sky-high price, and if it is really not possible, it can be scraped and looted, which is nothing.

"Second, the new emperor of your family ascended the throne, and he should respect my Dajin Emperor as his uncle, and from then on, the Song Kingdom and my Dajin are the countries of uncles and nephews, Dajin is the uncle, and you Song are nephews."

This is not difficult, anyway, there have been countries of brothers and uncles and nephews before, and now as long as Wanyan Zongwang can withdraw from the army, even if it is the country of grandchildren, it may not be negotiable.

"Third, cede the three towns of Hejian, Zhongshan, and Taiyuan to give me a lot of gold."

This one...... It's not that you can't think about it, even if the faint gentleman doesn't want to cut the land, now that Jin Guo's father has come to the city, whether to cut the land or not, I'm afraid he can't help it?

The top priority is to listen to Jin Guo's father's conditions first, and then return to Bianjing City alive.

"Fourth, send the prime minister and the prince as hostages."

Wanyan Zongwang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There are only these four, how about it?" ”

"The subordinate first thanked the second prince on behalf of my lord."

Li Yan pondered and replied: "The emperor of the Dajin Kingdom is older than the emperor of our country, and the current official family respects the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom as his uncle, which is the original meaning, and my Great Song Dynasty is naturally also a nephew."

It's just that the other three, the subordinates really can't immediately respond to the second prince, and they hope that the second prince will forgive their sins. ”

Wanyan Zongwang's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he glanced at Li Di coldly before saying, "Since you can't call the shots, what did the little emperor of the Song Dynasty send you to do?" Could it be that he is here to entertain this prince? ”

Li Di pounced and knelt down again!

"Don't dare! Can't! ”

After kowtowing several times to Yan Zongwang, Li Di tentatively straightened up and pleaded: "The amount of five million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver is too huge, even if I pour the strength of the whole country into the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get together?"

What's more, ceding the three towns of Hejian, Zhongshan, and Taiyuan, sending the prime minister and the king as hostages, it was originally not up to the subordinates to make the decision. This matter must also be approved by the official family, and I hope that the second prince will be clear! ”

Wanyan Zongwang stroked his beard quite complacently.

Even if the little emperor was prepared, what could he do?

Wasn't it arrogant last night, why did Baba send someone to negotiate peace this morning?

A soft egg is a soft egg!

"If the subordinate goes back alone to report to my lord, I am afraid that my lord will not agree to His Highness's request, so it is better to ......"
