Wanyan Zonggan shook his head and said, "Fourth brother, you are too worried, it is Han Li's idea to let Wanyan Zong succeed to the throne, in other words, Han Lie will also go to the same line with us, besides, at this time, Han Lie is already on Han Li's side, for what we should support, otherwise there would be no current situation." ”

"Okay, then we'll go our separate ways."

Wanyan Zonggan has always been a man of his word in the court, but he has never touched military affairs, on the contrary, Wanyan Zongbi is the military general of the Taizu family second only to Wanyan Zongwang, and the two brothers acted separately, indicating that they were going to declare war on the Taizong family.

Han Li finally walked into the inner circle of the Taizu family and began to plan for these people, all of which were expected by Han Lie, and he who was far away in Bianliang had no time to take care of the affairs here.

It seems to be a simple negotiation, but in fact it is extremely difficult, you must know that it is not easy to ask the Song State to give hundreds of big ships, plus it is necessary to persuade the Song Emperor Zhao Gou to order the western army in the northwest to attack the Han army, which is indeed a very challenging thing for Han Lie.

The person in charge of the negotiation is the extremely cunning Wang Boyan, this guy is the henchman of Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he completely understands the mind of the Son of Heaven, plus he himself hates the emperor of the Han Dynasty, which is why this guy is in charge of negotiations.

For Zhao Gou, the son of the Song State, as long as the Jin State is willing to launch an attack on the Song State, it is worth the cost, but this price does not include the Western Army, which is the most difficult part of the negotiation.

Zhao Gou was the emperor and wanted the dead ghost Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan was much stronger, at least he could recognize the situation, if there was any army that the Great Song Dynasty could shoot now, it would only be 200,000 Western Army, which could be said to be the last capital of the Great Song Dynasty, once lost, the Great Song Dynasty would no longer have the capital to gain a foothold in the Three Kingdoms, which is why he insisted on disagreeing with the Western Army attacking the Han State. Of course, the most critical reason is that the 200,000 Western Army attacked the Han State, which had an army of 650,000, which was undoubtedly self-seeking.

The negotiations lasted seven days without progress. This made Han Lie anxious, because after staying in Bianliang for so long, it was difficult not to be discovered by the pervasive Dragon Breath Clan, and once it was discovered, the powerful staff headquarters of the Han State would analyze what was going on in the middle.

On the eighth day, Han Lie personally hosted a banquet to entertain Wang Boyan. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Han Lie said: "Lord Wang, I will go to the imperial capital tomorrow, and our negotiations will be over." ”

"What, you're going to the Imperial Palace, what are you going to do in the Imperial Palace?" Wang Boyan has always been an expert in conspiracy theories, and he immediately thought of Han Lie's intention of going to the imperial capital, so he asked tentatively: "Lord Han, aren't you going to the Great Song Dynasty, why do you still go to the imperial capital, do you want to negotiate with the Han Kingdom?" ”

Han Lie is an expert in psychological warfare, what he wants is for Wang Boyan to take the initiative to open this topic, he drank the wine in the wine glass and said with a smile: "My Majesty Dajin has instructions, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the Han State sending troops, there must be a problem. ”

"What problem to solve?"

"Yunzhou."

"Yunzhou, Yunzhou is under the control of the Han Kingdom, what does it have to do with your Jin Kingdom."

Wang Boyan felt that Han Lie was talking nonsense, purely to increase the bargaining chips in the negotiation, and he didn't care at all in this situation.

Han Lie said coldly: "For the Jin State, to the west, to block the Eastern Expedition of the Western Liao, to the northwest to conquer the grassland tribes, to the southwest to defend against the attack of the Han State, after all, for the Jin State, the big trouble is the Han State, not the Song State." And the center of these three points is Yunzhou, once Yunzhou is taken, it will occupy a strategic place for the Jin State, and you will not understand this if you say to these civil officials. Anyway, our Emperor Jin said that we must take Yunzhou, and this is my mission this time. ”

"That's why you asked our Great Song to send troops to attack Yunzhou." Wang Boyan was a little puzzled, he said coldly: "It's understandable that your Jin State asked our Song State to attack Yunzhou, after all, when we send troops to Yunzhou, you can send troops to Taiyuan, which is equivalent to our two families sending troops to attack the Han State." However, what do you mean by going to the Han Kingdom, you will never rely on your three-inch incorruptible tongue to let the Emperor of the Han Kingdom give up Yunzhou. ”

"Of course, we won't give it up, but it can be used as an exchange, we will send troops to Linzhou Road, Qinfeng Road, solve Quduan, Yao Pingzhong, Liu Zhongwu, Liu Qi and other western armies, for the Han State to relieve the worries, I believe that if it is used in exchange for Yunzhou, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty will agree."

"You, wouldn't it be shameless to do that."

Han Lie saw Wang Boyan's angry appearance and knew that the other party had been fooled, and after he poured the wine for this guy, he said with a smile: "Forced by friendship or righteousness, the Han has never swept the northwest. But on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, sooner or later, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will destroy the Song State and unify the Central Plains, how can he let the Western Army exist in the rear all the time in this case? The Han army doesn't want to kill each other, but that doesn't mean it won't make a deal with our big gold. ”

Wang Boyan knew that Han Lie was not alarmist, that situation was indeed possible, Liu Zhenglong himself was a chaotic minister and thief, and his goal was to win the Central Plains, and his tolerance for the Western Army was limited.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Boyan said: "You know that the Western Army has 200,000 troops, but if you attack the Han Kingdom, it is obviously not strong, and it will be wiped out, so you must also understand this." ”

"Our Dajin's Wanyan Yanmu led an army of 50,000 to suppress Yunzhou, and Wanyan Lou sent 100,000 troops to suppress Taiyuan, in this case, what are you worried about? With our Jin army deterred, I believe that the Han State will not be able to come to the aid of Yunzhou. Now there are only 50,000 troops in Yunzhou, so how can the 200,000 powerful Western Army not be able to take Yunzhou? ”

At this time, Han Lie firmly believed that Wang Boyan would tell the Emperor of Song Guo about today's conversation, and everything would be solved, in this case, he only cared about drinking and no longer said a word to Wang Boyan.

Sure enough, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty finally agreed to all the conditions offered by the Jin State, and asked Wang Boyan to go to the northwest to announce the decree, and let Wang Yuan, a member of the Privy Council, who signed the same letter, serve as the northwest Xuanfu envoy, responsible for the battle of Yunzhou, and the eunuch Kang Lu served as the supervisor.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the second year of Shenlong, the Dragon Boat Festival, 200,000 Western troops besieged Yunzhou, and at the same time, the famous general Wanyan Yanmu of the Jin State led 50,000 troops to press Yunzhou, although they did not participate in the Battle of Yunzhou, but the 50,000 cavalry blocked the Han army to help.

50,000 cavalry blocked the Yunling Road, the only way from the Han State to Yunzhou, and if the Han army wanted to break through, there would be incalculable casualties. Of course, if the Han army detours through the Song State, it is another matter.

Yunzhou was besieged, and the news exploded in the imperial capital, and the students began to call on the Han Iron Cavalry to teach the Song State a bloody lesson, and the literati published articles in the newspapers, asking the Han army to send troops to defend the country. More than 100,000 soldiers wrote bloody letters asking to join the war, and young people signed up for the army.

Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, was not as angry as the outside world imagined, and he did not send troops at the first time, as if nothing had happened, which surprised the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

The five important ministers of the Iron Blood Hall were arguing about sending troops, and the senior scholars of the Senior Politics Hall were also arguing. This time the troops were different from the past, everyone knew that once the troops were dispatched, it would be a war to destroy the country, and what would be destroyed was the Great Song Dynasty that everyone had been loyal to. In this case, it is normal for everyone to argue, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty has never spoken out, so that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty have been arguing for a while, but they have never been able to come up with a unified opinion.

The harem was also noisy, and the concubines, concubines, and Zhaoyi, who were inextricably linked with the Great Song Dynasty, led by Zhao Fujin, strongly opposed the sending of troops. After all, they were either the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty before, or the concubines and princesses of the Great Song Dynasty, and they still had deep feelings for the Great Song Dynasty, and they knew that once they sent troops to the Great Song Dynasty, it was destined to destroy the Song Dynasty, so they opposed sending troops.

These noble concubines and concubines led by Chai Jinjiao are firm Song Dynasty faction, they not only have no feelings for the Great Song Dynasty, but they also dream of destroying the Song Dynasty.

The iron law of the Han Dynasty is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so the princesses are only arguing in the harem, and they cannot connect the courtiers or interfere in the court situation.

Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, finally decided not to send troops to Yunzhou, which made Zhe Keqiu feel incredible, and he finally united Pan Xu, Pan Jing, Gao Chen, Shi Yi and other princes to find the Son of Heaven, hoping to persuade the Son of Heaven to send troops to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Liang Lie, who had the strongest attitude, after he came back from Goryeo, felt that the Han should concentrate on destroying the Song Dynasty, this time the Western Army attacked Yunzhou without its own strength, if it didn't fight back, what would be the face of the Han.

Liang Lie said angrily: "Your Majesty, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, our Great Han Xiongshi should have swept across the northwest a long time ago." Now that Zhao Gou Xiao'er dares to invade our Han Dynasty, it is simply lawless, and the minister suggested that he immediately send troops to pacify the northwest. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, and I can ask for permission to personally lead the army to solve the danger of Yunzhou." Zhe Keqiu is a fiery temper, he has long been dissatisfied with the refusal of the Western Army to join the Han, and now the Western Army dares to hit the door, in this case, the old man can no longer bear it.

Pan Xu seemed to be calmer, and when he saw that the Son of Heaven was silent, he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, are you unwilling to send troops because of your reputation?" ”

"What is the name unknown, our Han and their Song Kingdom are also empires, we are more powerful, and we can only rely on our Han to resist the invasion of the Jin army. Now that the Song army has come to the door, we should take the opportunity to destroy the Song. "Shi Yi is a fanatical main battle faction, he has always advocated the use of strong force to conquer the Great Song Dynasty,

Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, said: "Didn't you find out that Jin Guo was making trouble behind this? Wanyan Yanmu led an army of 50,000 to Yunzhou, which was to create conditions for the Song army to capture Yunzhou. And Wanyan Lou Room, the first general of the Jin country, led an army of 100,000 to Taiyuan, that is, wait for our Han army to send troops, once you and we send troops, then the Han-Jin War will break out in full swing, at that time, the Western Army will give up attacking Yunzhou, directly attack our Han from the west, and the Jin army will go straight to Hedong Road, the Song army will go straight to Xijing Luoyang, in addition to Chengdu Fu Road, Kuizhou Road will also face a crisis, and the entire Han will be in a stalemate. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong paused for a long time, and he said: "If we don't send troops, then the Jin army will go south to invade the Song Dynasty, and at that time, we will send troops to clean up the mess, which is equivalent to the Han and Song Dynasty joining forces to deal with the Jin State, and the whole situation will be completely different." That's why I don't send troops. ”

The current situation is that the Three Kingdoms are killed, the Song State, the Jin State, and the Han State do not have the strength to win in the case of fighting on two fronts, and now the Jin Army intends to break this deadlock, which has to make people ponder.

When the important ministers were silent, Liu Zhenglong continued: "This is a battle to test the defense of Yunzhou and the military defense ability of the Han Dynasty. It is also a battle of orthodoxy and national fortunes. Yunzhou, just fend for yourself, let the people of the world fight for this battle. Look at whether the hearts of the people are in the Han Dynasty or in the Song Kingdom, and see whether the Heavenly Dao makes the Song Kingdom perish. ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Jin Kingdom is cheating, and the actual purpose is to destroy the Song Dynasty?" Xiang Zongliang finally put forward his own point of view, before he was still the king of the Great Song Dynasty, but after Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was poisoned, the county king of the Great Song Dynasty hated the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no loyalty at all, plus his daughter was named a concubine, and gave birth to the seventh prince Liu Hei, he was even more loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhenglong can't complain about these rulers, none of their ideas are wrong, after all, they are all big people who stir up the storm and have unique insights into things. It's just that in front of himself, a guy who is almost demonic, he can only act as an idiot, who allows himself to have the benefits of crossing??

Liu Zhenglong said unhurriedly: "There should be contradictions within the Jin State, the Emperor of the Jin State Wanyan Wu Qimai and the Marshal Wanyan Xian also have different attitudes towards the war, on the surface, this battle is the Song State sent troops to attack Yunzhou, provoking the Han and Song wars, and the Jin State will reap the benefits of the fisherman. In fact, the battle is far more complicated than everyone thinks. According to Marshal Du's conception, if the Han attacked the Song State, then the Jin State would quickly send troops to destroy the Song State, and then hunt with the Han army, and finally launch a battle to dominate the world. And the emperor of the Jin State in order to make the crown prince Wanyan also boiled to death, in order to let his son finally become the crown prince, his idea is to wait, if the battle of Yunzhou, the Song army is vulnerable to defeat by the Han army, the Jin army will wave its army south to Bianliang, let Wanyan Zongqi to win this immortal achievement, paving the way for the later inheritance of the unification. At this time, the Han Dynasty will definitely send troops, at that time, it is the Han army and the Jin army to divide the Song State, the north of the Yangtze River belongs to the Jin State, and the south of the Yangtze River belongs to the Han State. As for the Hanjin War, it was not something he considered, it was a matter of Wanyan Zongqi in the future. ”

Everyone present is a human spirit, and everyone knows what His Majesty wants to do, and no one dares to mention anything in this case. After all, it is a matter of national fortune, and it should be the dictatorship of the cadres, not the courtiers, if this point is not clear, then there is no need to mix in the court.
