Chapter 292: Beijin Peace Talks
After a big battle, although it was won, the Tang army also lost thousands of soldiers, while the soldiers were taking care of the battlefield, He Fang came to Wei Chaodong and directly pulled out the knife and said: "Wei Chaodong of the dog day, is there such a trick as you?" ”
Wei Chaodong's guards hurriedly protected Wei Chaodong, Wei Chaodong pushed away the soldiers who protected him and smiled: "Hehe, General He, don't be angry, if you rush to the battlefield early, I don't think you can do it." ”
"That's right, you are at the door of the Beijin people's house, and you are not as fast as us when you are fighting, this is not to blame us, it is your own incompetence." The generals of the Yulin Army also coaxed.
He Fangqi's face turned red, and the soldiers of the Guiyi Army saw that their commander was humiliated, and they all pulled out their knives.
In the stalemate between the two sides, a carrier pigeon flew from the sky, He Fang and Wei Chaodong grabbed it forward at the same time, and finally He Fang took a quick step and caught the carrier pigeon, He Fang sneered after reading it: "Brothers, put away the guys, let's continue to go to the front, and strive to bite off another piece of meat from the Beijin people, as for here, just let it be given to this group of young master soldiers, right?" ”
"What nonsense?" Wei Chaodong rebuked unhappily.
He Fang smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, Your Majesty ordered our loyal army to continue to track down the Beijin people, and let you build a city pass here, and the name is all good, it will be called Jiayu Pass." ”
After saying that, He Fang ignored Wei Chaodong, who was full of iron, and left with his army, and the people of the Yulin Army ate a mouthful of sand, although they were very angry in their hearts, but they had no choice but to look at the distant figure of the Guiyi Army and curse a few words.
He Fang fought by surprise, so many people were not at ease to let He Fang pursue, but Li Jun tried his best to disappoint Li Jun, and He Fang really did not disappoint Li Jun, and in the process of pursuing the large army of Yanzong County, he couldn't help but lose very little, and also took 20,000 heads.
When He Fang returned to Yinshan Pass again, looking at He Fang's capture, Wei Chaodong's eyes were red, He Fang looked at Jiayuguan, which had already begun to be built, and said with a smile: "Wei Chaodong, you will be called General Cement in the future, anyway, you will build the city very quickly." ”
"Hmph, He Fang, you are a villain here, Your Majesty has promised to let my Yulin Army be stationed in Jiayuguan, and wait until the next battle against Beijin to destroy the country, see if you can still laugh?" Wei Chaodong snorted coldly.
Hearing this, He Fang's laughter stopped abruptly, and he slammed the horsewhip and left.
What Li Jun wants is such a balance, he can't let one person finish anything, this is harming him, and the master of high merit never ends well.
Wei Chaodong and He Fang are going very smoothly on this side, on the other side, Zhang Budo and Pei Du also broke through Liaoyang City, if Lie Ruo is not killed, the entire Liaohe Plain has been captured by the Tang Dynasty, in this war against Beijin, Li Jun has achieved the expected goal, Li Jun arranged Pei Du to garrison Liaoyang City, and Zhang Budo began to sweep the entire Liaohe Plain with 50,000 loyal and righteous troops.
The rest is to wait, Li Jun is waiting for the Beijin people to come to the door for peace talks, as Li Jun expected, the first wave of people who came to Chang'an was not the people of Wanyanzong County, but the people of Kubi, when Li Jun heard the news, he waved his hand and said: "No, Kubi's 50,000 army has not yet had the ability to turn the book, and I will talk about it after I have met the envoy of Yanzong County." ”
The envoy sent by Wanyan Zongjun this time is the old man of Wanyan family, this person is called Wanyan Kang, and he is considered to be the same generation as Li Jun's grandfather Emperor Jingtai, not only that, but this person is also a scholarly master, and has a good relationship with Fu Nian, Dong Zhong and others.
For such an old man, Li Jun also had to cheer up to deal with it, after Yan Kang came to the capital, Li Jun kindly prepared a banquet to invite the old man to participate, but unfortunately Yan Kang did not give face at all, and when he arrived at the banquet, he ate a roast chicken, drank a jar of wine and lay down and pretended to sleep.
Li Jun's whole body was trembling, the old guy was deliberately entertaining himself, Fu Nian couldn't bear to be killed by Li Jun, and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Wan Yankang came thousands of miles away, he must be extremely sleepy, so he is so rude." ”
Li Jun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, since people don't like to talk to me, then Fu Qing can entertain the old man for me." ”
Fu Nian told Li Jun of his guilt, and then left with Wan Yankang with the two attendants, Li Jun didn't care, this kind of person was stubborn, and he would move forward with perseverance when he saw a goal; This kind of person is square, and all the actions must meet the requirements of etiquette, of course, this kind of person is also ruthless, and will unabashedly show his attitude towards all people and things that are not pleasing to the eye.
When he arrived at Fufu, Wan Yankang immediately came to life, and said unceremoniously: "Brother Fu, don't talk first, it's serious to give the old man a bucket of rice quickly." ”
There are no borders between literati, they are all very sympathetic to each other in the past, and now Fu Nian is this virtue, after seeing Yan Kang's down-and-out face, Fu Nian held Wan Yankang's hand and said with red eyes: "Brother Wan Yan, why is this so?" Beijin is also a country of ten thousand times, can you still eat without a mouthful? ”
Wan Yan Kang sighed: "Last year, the white disaster was serious, there was no way, the regent ordered the army to go to Beiliao to eat, now it's good, not only did the food not grab, but more than half of the 200,000 troops when they went were now buried in the hands of your general, and now the Liaohe Plain is occupied by you again, and the last grain-producing area of Dajin is gone, the people of Beijin can only gnaw tree bark and eat snow to satisfy their hunger, the old man is the emperor's uncle, Wanyanzong County does not dare to lack the old man's food, but the old man's women and children have not eaten, So the old man gave all the food to the women and children. ”
"Brother Wanyan, don't worry, I'll bring you some food when you leave, it is estimated that it will be enough for your women and children to eat." Fu Nian smiled and comforted.
Wan Yankang waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid it's not enough, since ancient times, famous people have been romantic, and the old man is no exception, so there are more women and children in the old man's family." ”
"How many?"
"A million." The old guy opened his mouth and said.
Fu Nian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Brother Wanyan, don't make fun of the old man, you came here to talk about peace this time, you should honestly tell your Majesty your conditions, if the conditions satisfy Your Majesty, let alone a million women and children, even if it is doubled, Your Majesty will also find a way to help you solve it." ”
"Is that true?" Wan Yankang asked.
Fu Nian nodded affirmatively, and when Yan Kang heard this, he didn't eat anymore, made a pot of tea, and prepared to leave.
Fu Nian hurriedly stopped and asked, "Brother Wanyan, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”
"Hmph, the reason why I didn't look for the little emperor at the beginning is because the old man thinks that you are the prince and young master, and your words work, and now I know that you don't care about your original fart, and the old man is still talking nonsense with you here, the old man will hurry into the palace now and find the one who speaks effectively." Wan Yankang snorted coldly.
After finishing speaking, Yan Kang trotted away, and Fu Nian was stunned for a while before he reacted and scolded: "This old horseman is really angry with me." ”
The literati are also invincible without shame, as soon as Li Jun rested, Wan Yankang came, Li Jun saw Wan Yankang and asked with a smile: "Sir, sober up so quickly?" ”
Wan Yankang was not embarrassed at all and replied heroically: "Your Majesty, don't say it, Fu Nian's old man's sobering soup really works, after drinking it, it will be fine immediately, the foreign minister saw His Majesty this time to talk about the terms of our Dajin's peace talks." ”
"Oh, sir, please, I'm listening." Li Jun said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's very simple, Dajin will make a truce with Northern Liao and cede the Liaohe Plain to Datang, but Datang must lend us another 500,000 stones, grain and grass." The old guy said unashamedly.
When Li Jun heard this, the tea he had just drunk in his mouth almost squirted out, Li Junqiang held back his cough and said, "Sir, I have never heard of the saying that the victorious country still has to compensate for the grain. ”
Wan Yankang sneered: "Your Majesty, when the first emperor was in power, the Northern Jin was strong, the first emperor often attacked the Tang Dynasty, and the old man has prevented the Beijin invasion of the Tang Dynasty seven times in the past ten years, does Your Majesty feel that this affection is worth 500,000 stone grain?" ”
The old guys have begun to turn over the accounts, Li Jun is also very helpless, Li Jun wanted to brush his sleeves away, but after thinking about it carefully, Wan Yankang is an academic master, if he is forced to die by himself, then his reputation will not be good, and let Wan Yankang return to Dajin, it is very likely to conflict with Wan Yan Zongjun, one has a reputation, and the other has a soldier, if the two make trouble, maybe Datang can still pick up the cheap.
After thinking about this, Li Jun smiled and said, "Okay, I agreed to Mr.'s request." ”
