Chapter 1246 is another negotiation

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the tent, the footsteps were thick and steady, and when I heard it, I knew that he was a warrior with strong muscles and bones, and his status was not low.

The curtain was lifted, and Shen Kuo turned around with a mare's milk cup, but it was a Xia man dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a soft foot scarf on his head, and having a poopy belly.

There is another person next to him who seems to be a literati of the Xia Dynasty, but he is also a brocade robe and jade belt, and his status should not be low.

Shen Kuo slandered a sentence of incomprehension, and the brocade robes were all worn indiscriminately? Put down the mare's milk cup: "Dare to ask the two?" ”

I heard the Western Xia military general say: "I am Liang Yongneng, the head of the four roads of Great Xia, and the one next to me is my army, Wu Jinggong, Liang Gewei of Xiping Mansion." ”

Shen Kuo said lightly: "Lord Xia is only a duke canonized by the imperial court, how can he be canonized a duke?" It's overstepping. ”

Liang Gewei rolled his eyes: "Since the Xia Dynasty took the five states, the ancestors have overcome obstacles and gained mountains and rivers, and the north of Qilian Hengshan is just our pasture. ”

"My lord later had to be canonized as the king of Western Xia, and the king was qualified to be crowned a duke, and he did his own affairs behind closed doors, and there was nothing that was not transgressed."

Shen Kuo smiled slightly: "I see, but it's not all about doing your own business behind closed doors." ”

"Western Xia was founded by invasion, and dozens of states were actually robbed, to put it bluntly, they were all robbed, if you want to talk about the roots, your clan should have been in the area of Jiannan Songpan, right?"

Liang Gewei was not ashamed at all: "If you want to talk about it like this, isn't the root of the Huaxia clan only in Weiyuan Shangluo?" Now that even the South China Sea is listed as a county, isn't it also an invasion? ”

Shen Kuo laughed: "This is very different. A county in the South China Sea is a local royal family and people, who admire our Chinese civilization and ask for a table. I have repeatedly pushed the Song Dynasty, and I saw that the country was in turmoil and the people were miserable, so I had no choice but to accept it, but it was not the result of aggression. ”

"This verse will be explained in detail today."

This is the first sentence of Li Xinniang's song in Huanzhou City, and now it has been spread on the border of Song and Xia. Liang Gewei's expression changed greatly, and he stood up and shouted angrily: "The envoy dares to ridicule my Liang family? When my sword is not good? ”

"Ge Wei!" I heard a loud shout outside the tent, and another person opened the curtain and walked in: "Hugh is rude! ”

The person who just came in was still covered in dust, and he had gone through a long run, and he didn't care that Shen Kuo was still on the spot, showing a gold medal: "By the order of the Empress Dowager, all negotiations with the Song people will be temporarily replaced by me, don't speak again!" ”

I didn't know what the effect of this gold medal was, and the two of them immediately knelt down and arched their hands when they saw it: "Obey the order!" ”

The Xia people accepted the gold medal, helped the two of them to sit down, and then turned to Shen Kuo to give a salute: "The Western Xia led the envoy Liang Yi to bury more, and I have seen the Song State Shaanxi Road to appease Shen Dayin." ”

Shen Kuo said with a smile: "I just chatted with the governor of the capital and Liang Senjun, and found that they are not very familiar with diplomacy. ”

"In the negotiation documents between the Xia Dynasty and our dynasty, it has always been humble and distorted, which is diametrically opposed to the military."

"The last time I was slow down, I remember, was when Yuan Hao wanted to provoke the Great Song Dynasty to use troops...... Why, you guys are ...... Play the same old trick? ”

Liang Yi hurriedly bowed: "How dare you dare, they are the leaders of the local army, the Xia Dynasty was not restrained this time, which led to the conflict in Huanzhou, after the lord and the queen mother were shocked, they specially ordered me to come to negotiate, and we must let the Great Song Dynasty know that I am attached to the court, and don't lose the peace because of the border generals." ”

Shen Kuo said: "Yes, this time the court ordered Shen Kuo to come, in fact, this is what it means. ”

"The peace between the two countries is not easy to come by, and the first emperor of the Gui Dynasty repented after the defeat of Weizhou in that year, and introspected himself, saying that he was willing to practice the Han system, and did not dare to violate the border again, but only sought harmony."

"After succeeding to the throne, he also presented his letter of state, saying that he had become pro-government and intended to inherit his father's will.

"It is about to open up a new situation in which the two countries are on good terms. It's a pity that the Huanzhou dispute has arisen again, and Shen Kuo has to come and go. ”

Liang Yiduo bowed down and said: "Yes, this battle was done by my Imperial Commander Hanluo Lingzhi without authorization, and now he has been punished by the Great Song Dynasty under the city of Huanzhou, on behalf of the Xia Dynasty." ”

"Now that the first evil has been punished, this matter is considered to be in the past, and we will give Song Ting another thank you to express repentance."

"As for the content of the Great Song Dynasty's reprimand, can you ask the Great Song Dynasty to treat me as humble and distorted, and suspend the implementation?"

Shen Kuo sighed: "I want to too, but this time, I can't fool it......"

"The golden drums, banners, and documents of your army this time were all captured by our army, and the text of the correspondence was clearly written, and it was an order from the shogunate, which required the internal guards to be overlooked, and Xiao Guan to inspect the inspection point, and the commander of the horses, Heluo, ordered the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack my Huanzhou."

"When the two armies clashed, the banner under the city of Huanzhou was also unscrupulous."

"Your imperial golden whip is straight, and it was completely annihilated by our Huanzhou defenders."

"The information on the interrogation of the captives shows that it is the escort of the lord of your country, and the leader is a fool."

"Human and material evidence, my Great Song Dynasty still has a lot of it, and I will send you back the heroic and heroic Captain of the Horse, and the Great Song Dynasty has also done its best to be benevolent and righteous."

"Now that you are so prevaricating and putting the blame for the rebellion on the heroic martyrs, do you just bear it and don't feel a little uneasy?"

The faces of everyone in the tent changed greatly, and Liang Gewei stood up suddenly: "This matter has nothing to do with the head of the capital, it's all ......."

"Ge Wei, stop it!" Liang Yi hurriedly interrupted angrily: "Don't you know the will?!" I'm the one who raised Song Xia's negotiations! ”

Liang Gewei's face was swollen and red, and he sat down.

Shen Kuo didn't care, and asked slowly: "The two countries are fighting, at least in me, I don't want to see it." However, in this battle of Huanzhou, our court expressed concern about several questions, hoping to get an official answer from the Western Xia court. ”

Liang Yi buried his hand: "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty gave me full power to negotiate with Song Xia. ”

Shen Kuo smiled and said: "What I am most concerned about is that the golden whip squad will appear on the battlefield, so that I have to doubt that this is the will of Lord Xia." ”

Liang Yi buried it and said: "The Golden Whip Ban Zhi of the Imperial Palace, and the merger is a reckless and false belt, but from the moment they left Xingqing Mansion, the Golden Whip Ban Zhi is no longer the imperial guard, just like Di Yongzhi Huanzhou of the Gui Dynasty, it is of the same nature. ”

"Not taking back the golden whip of their status symbol is a mistake on my part. But this matter is by no means my intention to His Majesty, or it is to provoke while the general is arrogant. ”

Shen Kuo asked: "Then I want to ask, what level of border general is the commander of the Huanzhou Campaign, is there any instruction from the Liang Governor, is it the idea of the Shogunate of the Four Roads Governor?" ”

Liang Yi buried and said: "No, this is ...... This is the personal behavior of the guards and supervisors, Xiao Guan's inspection, and the personal behavior of the commander of the horses, and the soldiers and horses of the Liang General Headquarters have always been on the front line of Xiao Pass, and this is as good as possible for the Gui Dynasty to investigate with the captives. ”

Seeing that the facts could not be denied, Liang Yi had no choice but to give up his car to protect his handsomeness.

Shen Kuo actually didn't have any evidence in his hand that Liang Yongneng instructed Meng to attack the Song Dynasty, and the bottom line that Su You gave him was that he must bite Meng to death, in order to provoke a conflict between the Western Xia border generals and the palace.

Now it seems that the Empress Dowager Liang has been persuaded by the ministers of Western Xia, and the two sides have reached a compromise and given up the reckless lies.

After the three-bow and three-gun bed crossbow was captured by Di Yong, Su You asked him to send it to Shen Kuo immediately, so that Shen Kuo could study the war technology of the Xia people, and how far had it progressed.

The traditional bow and crossbow technology, the Xia people were also the teachers of the Song people, and after Shen Kuo got the real thing, he found that it was more advanced than the three-gun bed crossbow currently deployed in Weizhou in the Song Dynasty.

In April of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, after Shen Kuo arrived at Yongxing Military Road, he once sent a report to Su You, requesting that three-gun bed crossbows be allocated and equipped to various cities on Yongxing Military Road.

The reply from the Military Aircraft Department was that the three-gun bed crossbow was too heavy, one weighing more than 1,000 catties, and it was too difficult to transfer it from the mainland, and allowed Yongxing Military Road to build it on its own according to the drawings.

However, Su You wrote a letter to Shen Kuo privately, thinking that the war was imminent, and after the Zhulu army entered the summer, the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty would no longer be a secret, so there was no need to build such weapons of the old era, so that Shen Kuo could use smoke bombs, purchase wood and iron, and claim that he was going to do this, but in fact, he used it to build a van.

But Western Xia produced generals who could attach importance to this weapon, so it was best to pinch off this sign immediately.

Shen Kuo completed these thoughts in just a moment: "I can't tolerate the slaughter of the people of my Great Song Dynasty under Huanzhou City, and I am ready to take reciprocal retaliatory measures against your country." This point has been written very clearly in the national letter. ”
