Han Lie was not surprised at all by Chai Jin's arrival, he said uncertainly: "The Great Han Heavenly Son is unfathomable, and I am only figuring it out, and it is not very accurate. Now the problem is that if Jin is destroyed, I am afraid that the Song State will stab him in the back, so it is the most beneficial for the Han State to destroy it first. ”

"Uncle, what do you mean is that the Song army will send troops south to pacify the Central Plains when the Jin army is besieging the city, and then go north to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army, and in the process abandon the Song State and make it die in the bloody war between the two countries."

"Yes, the theory is like this, but in fact, I'm afraid that the emperor of the Han Dynasty will not think so." Han Lie's face showed a trace of hesitation, and he said a little helplessly: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty prefers that Song Tianzi will escape to a corner of the south of the Yangtze River and be unable to go on the Northern Expedition, while the Han army can concentrate all its strength on dealing with the Jin army, and after destroying the Jin State, he will turn around and dominate the world." ”

At this moment, Chai Jin was confused, and he asked puzzledly: "Why is this happening, doesn't this increase the difficulty of the Han Dynasty to unify the world?" ”

"Because he wants the world to have long-term peace and stability, he can seize the world by force, but he still needs literati to govern the world, if the hearts of the people of the world are still orthodox in the Song Kingdom, then the Han Dynasty is not right, and there will be many hidden dangers after the unification of the world in the future. The death of the second emperor of the Qin State and the second death of the Sui Dynasty were full of hidden dangers at the beginning of the founding of the country. Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and unified the world, which could shock the careerists below, and the Great Qin Empire seemed to be infinitely beautiful, but after replacing Qin II Hu Hai, it perished. Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian ended hundreds of years of strife since the beginning of the Three Kingdoms and achieved the unification of the world, but when he arrived at Emperor Yang of Sui, he could no longer suppress those gate valves, which eventually led to the fall of the powerful Sui Dynasty. The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is the lord of the world, and he can ensure that the Han Dynasty sweeps the world by establishing the country with military force, but what does the second emperor of the Han Dynasty look like? Whether the Han Dynasty will die or not, this is something that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty must consider, and he wants to win the hearts of the people. Once the world is in the heart, then the dynasty can last for a long time. ”

At this moment, Chai Jin understood, and he said: "Uncle, what do you mean, do you want Qin Hui to persuade the official family to go to Jiangnan." ”

"Considering that Zhao Gou can't sit still in the past few days, he should discuss with Qin Hui, when the time comes, let Qin Hui talk to you, I'm leaving, I must go to the Jin Army camp, and after persuading Yan Zongqi to give Zhao Gou time to go south, I won't come back this time, you are ready to leave, stay here all the time, be careful that someone accuses you of the black state, then it will be troublesome."

"Yes, I should go back too, Your Majesty issued a holy decree announcing that everyone suspected of defecting to the enemy and treason will be destroyed, without exception, if you become suspicious of me, it will be a disaster of death, and I should also go back."

The same decree, different people interpret it differently, Chai Jin's interpretation is obviously different from others, his understanding is that it lays the groundwork for the internal cleanup of the Han Kingdom, after all, the power of the internal relatives of the Han Dynasty is too great, almost threatening the stability of the country. Perhaps, now that His Majesty is in his prime, he can still suppress his relatives, but what will the new emperor look like in the future? If you don't do it, you will be overshadowed by your relatives and become a puppet emperor. His Majesty will never allow that kind of scene to happen, so the internal cleanup of the Han will gradually be put on the agenda, and the department will be very bloody and cruel.

Liu Zhenglong, the son of heaven, does not allow eunuchs to interfere in court politics, does not allow the inner palace to interfere in politics, and does not have a royal family, which is doomed to the authority of relatives and the military is too heavy, and it will definitely be big in the future, so the cleanup will gradually be put on the agenda, Chai Jin thought of this weight, so he had to prepare first, and could not affect the future of the six princes.

No matter what others think of the Han Empire, Chai Jin has his own perspective that he has read, that is, no matter how wise and powerful the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is, he cannot avoid a fatal fact, that is, the royal family is thin, only the prince can be called a royal family, and in many cases, he must rely on the power of his relatives, which is very important when fighting the country. But once the world is unified, then the relatives headed by the four major families will become the biggest burden on the empire, and the battle for the throne will also surface, and the empire will be in a state of disorder at that time, the prince is the target of everyone, and he is destined to not go to the end, and the six princes must have a chance, but it still looks very thin now.

Chai Jin has always had the mission of recovering the glory of his ancestors in his bones, and it is obvious that the weak Song State cannot be overthrown, let alone the Han Empire, which was established by military force, but it is still possible to let the successor flow with the blood of the Chai family, and it is also official, the Chai family and Han Lie reached an alliance, and finally pulled Qin Hui, Wan Qi, and Zhu Shengfei into the circle, which shows that Chai Jin still has a strong ability.

Sure enough, Zhao Gou faced the Jin Army's three-way army approaching the capital, and now he no longer has the previous rhetoric, nor does he have the consciousness to defend the capital to death. The battle of Mengjin did not increase Zhao Gou's confidence in resisting Jin, on the contrary, the tragic death of nearly 300,000 soldiers made him realize the gap between the Song army and the Jin army, and he did not think that he could hold the capital.

Escaping is obviously not so easy, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan had thought about escaping before, but those civil officials did not agree to death, Zhao Gou did not think that he had a big face, and he could let that group of civil officials let him go,

At the critical moment, he had to rely on Qin Hui, and in a desperate situation, Zhao Gou secretly recruited Qin Hui to the palace.

Zhao Gou didn't want to go around in circles, he asked bluntly: "I asked you to discuss the possibility of peace talks with the Jin army, but there has been no follow-up, now, the Jin army has conquered Zhengzhou, Ying Tianfu, it can be said that from the north, east, west, three bread copy, the situation in the capital is precarious, at this time, should you tell me what to do next?" ”

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Jin army is reluctant to negotiate is that it is waiting for the results of the battle between Zhengzhou and Tianfu, because this battle is related to the selection of the crown prince of the Jin State, so the Jin army is not willing to negotiate peace easily." Speaking of this, Qin Hui saw that the face of the Son of Heaven was ugly, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, now that the opportunity for peace talks is ripe, it depends on how much your Majesty you are prepared to pay." ”

"What a price, now that the Jin army has come to the city, you still ask me how much I can pay."

Zhao Gou was very dissatisfied with Qin Hui's answer, and he said coldly: "At all costs, as long as the capital is kept, then everything can be discussed." ”

In Zhao Gou's view, the big deal is a huge amount as compensation. But Qin Hui didn't see it that way, this time the Jin State sent troops, with the intention of destroying the Song Dynasty, how could he easily accept the so-called peace talks? However, obviously he couldn't answer like this, Qin Hui thought for a while and said: "The minister will negotiate peace with the Jin State as soon as possible to determine the specific terms to urge the Jin army to retreat north." ”

Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and then said: "We have to be prepared with both hands, if the Jin army does not negotiate peace, we must leave the capital as soon as possible, are you sure that you have passed the pass of the civil official?" ”

That's right, if you want to escape, you must pass the civil level, otherwise you can't go 100%. Zhao Gou was able to ask like this, to put it bluntly, he had no hope for peace talks with Jin Guo.

"The minister must come up with a way to come out as soon as possible."

Qin Hui knew that Han Lie would pave the road for himself, so he didn't feel that there was anything to worry about. Now the official family has decided to escape, but they are unwilling!

Think of a way, what is there to think of, Qin Hui has no idea, but Chai Jin has a way, he helps Qin Hui solve this problem.

It turned out that Chai Jin proposed to let Mei take the ceremony, and Li Di and Zheng Wangzhi would negotiate with Jin Jun on behalf of the imperial court. Because these three people represent the three schools of the Korean Chinese, the three have one thing in common, that is, they are afraid of the Jin army. As long as these three people can choose to flee because they are afraid of the Jin army, then everything will fall into place.

Jin Jun agreed to the peace talks, but demanded that Song provide 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, 10 million horses of silk, and 1,500 maidens. This condition is too harsh, and it is far beyond the limit that the Great Song Dynasty can bear. It's not a question of whether you want it or not, but you can't afford it at all.

Seeing that the siege of the Jin army could not be satisfied, the civilian official group no longer insisted on holding the capital and began to advocate going south.

If you want to go, it's not that simple, in the capital, you can also rely on the tall city to resist the Jin army, but once you leave, it is two legs to run, and the Jin army chases with four legs, which is not a dead end.

Escape, how to escape? Obviously, at this time, Qin Hui is still needed to make suggestions, this guy really has an idea this time, he proposed that Zhang Shuye be left behind in Tokyo and lead the army to guard the capital. Let Liu Guangshi, Liu Zhengyan, and Miao Fu go out of the city in three ways, so that His Majesty has been mixed with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and let the Jin Army not know where His Majesty is on the way, so that he can take the opportunity to escape. As a precaution, the rebels were ordered to go all out to stop the Jin army.

At the critical moment, Qin Hui is still reliable, at this time, Qin Hui is the savior in Zhao Gou's heart, and only this person is truly loyal and patriotic, and no one else can be trusted.

The soldiers are divided into three ways, and it is not easy to escape, after all, the Jin army is all cavalry, and the Song army is almost all infantry, how can two legs run more than four legs? It's not so easy to escape, but Qin Hui still believes that the sky can escape, but this time he has to rely on Jin Jun to help act, what is going on, it has to start with Han Lie's return to the Jin Army camp.

The head coach of the Jin Army, Wanyan Zongqi, is the same as his father Wanyan Wu begging, he obeys Han Lie's words and does not discount them, and this time is of course no exception.

Wanyan Zongqi already knew that there was a fire in the backyard, and his father was under great pressure, so he had already included Wanyan in the investigation. Don't read that Yan Yan is a child, but that represents the Taizu lineage, and represents an unbreakable tradition inherited by the eldest son, and this is the weakness that hit Wanyan Zongqi.

If there is any reason for Yan Zongqi to inherit the throne, it is because he is the eldest son of Wanyan Wu Qimai, the emperor of the Jin State, which is the biggest weight. However, the throne was originally Jin Taizu's, and the logic of the eldest son inheriting the throne, so it is reasonable and legal for the throne to fall to Wanyan Kang, which is also the fundamental reason why Wanyan Wu is under pressure.

Attacking Bianliang City, to be honest, Wanyan Zongqi is not completely sure, you must know that not long ago, the legendary Wanyan Xian in the Jin army was also killed, and it is not easy to conquer the strongest city in the world.

Just when Yan Zongqi was sad and worried, Han Lie arrived, and as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly put Han Lie's own Chinese military tent in Qingdao.

"Mr. Han, I miss you to death."

"King Pulihu is polite, the minister came here to relieve the siege of the king."

"Break the siege, you know where my crisis lies."

"Of course, it's not just your position, it's Your Majesty's crisis, and to be precise, it's also the crisis of the Jin Kingdom." Han Lie was not polite at all, he wanted to show the necessary respect in front of Wanyan Wu Qimai, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but in front of Wanyan Zongqi, he still had to maintain his pride as always.

"Please sir."

Han Lie pretended to be deep and said, "King, are you the most troublesome now, how to capture Bianliang City. ”

"Yes."

"Han has a way to conquer Bianliang City, but once Bianliang City is conquered, I'm afraid, you will never have a chance to take the throne again."

Wanyan Zongqi didn't expect Han Lie to say this, he said angrily: "At the beginning, it was you who said to Your Majesty that as long as I lead the army to take Bianliang City and capture the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, I can successfully become the crown prince and inherit the throne, why do you say that now." ”

"This time, that time, not the same day." Han Lie's face showed a look of disdain, and he said coldly: "Who would have thought that 100,000 Jurchen warriors would be wiped out by the weak Song army, and who would have thought that Marshal Du Wanyan would also die in battle. None of this anyone could have predicted. Today's Jin Guo Iron Cavalry is no longer invincible, but lacks combat power and is difficult to gallop the world. Excuse me, if the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty personally led an army of 200,000 to fight against you, would you be able to win? ”

"I can, I don't know." Wanyan Zongqi was fooled, and he asked puzzledly: "Sir, why did you go to the Han Kingdom, if you have anything to say, why do you say that I captured the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, but I want to stay away from the throne." ”

"Now the Jin army is besieging the city on three sides, but Wanyan Yan's mother and Wanyan Zongbi are all from the Taizu line, and they support Wanyan Yan as the crown prince. You have to know that the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, only the young and casual Wan Yan Kang is the emperor, and the powerful ministers are easy to manipulate the court situation, so the civil and military support of the Manchu Dynasty is far more than the support of you. ”

These Wanyan Zongqi did not deny it, so he did not raise the bar.

Han Lie continued: "Wanyan Lou is also heading south, and will soon be surrounded on all sides of the capital, and everyone knows that once you conquer Bianliang City and take down the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, you will become the crown prince." Do you think that Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Lou Room, and Wanyan Yanmu will let you get your wish? ”。

"What if you don't want to, the three of them together don't have as many people as I have."

When it comes to the number of soldiers and horses, Wanyan Zongqi is very proud, he doesn't believe that Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Lou's room, and Wanyan Yan's mother dare to do it against him.
