Chapter 154: The Nature of Diplomacy
"Fang La?!"
Zhao Ji's heart shook suddenly, he stood up directly, and said in a low tone: "This person can actually let Xu Guanzhong stay, it seems that his ambition must be not small!"
Zhao Gou laughed secretly in his heart, but he just smiled and said: "The imperial court has indeed underestimated Fang La, and in the eyes of his sons, why not transfer General Han Shizhong, the fierce general of the Western Army, to Xuzhou to monitor Fang La, in case of change?"
Zhao Ji held his chin with his right hand and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I'll leave this matter to you."
"Jingnan Xiao Jiasui", "Hebei Xu Guanzhong", "Shandong Wenhuanzhang", "Longyou Zhu Wenruo", "Central Plains Wu Jialiang" are known as "the five heroes of the United States", and everyone in the world is called one of them can win the world. ”
Zhao Ji's tone gradually sank: "No matter what, one thing is to control the remaining two people in the hands of the imperial court!"
Zhao Gou was overjoyed in his heart, thought for a moment, and said: "Father, Erchen has heard Taishi Cai mention Dongping in Zhendong many times, he has swept away a large number of bandits in the Jiangnan area of Shandong, and preached Wanghua, he has some suggestions for Dong Ping's reward, Erchen has already brought it, you might as well take a look."
After speaking, Zhao Gou handed over a letter.
Zhao Ji opened it and looked at it, nodded and said, "No problem, these things are not difficult."
Zhao Gou said again: "Father, don't let others know about this, Master Cai, he doesn't want others to think that he is pulling the mountain with anyone!"
Zhao Ji said: "This is natural."
After speaking, Zhao Ji called Wang Yu, who was patrolling with the forbidden army outside the hall, and gave detailed instructions.
Zhao Ji walked to the front of a map of the world, looked around on it, put his hands behind his back, seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't speak for a long time.
"By the way, Father, I heard that General Duan asked Mingshi to send some information?" Zhao Gou hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "You went to Shandong to find Ziyuan Imperial Sister?"
Zhao Ji was silent for a long time, but still said: "Well, since you know, I will tell you that it is the information sent back by General Duan, who said that under the investigation of the Longxiang camp for more than ten years, he once found the traces of Princess Ziyuan in the area of Jingxi Road."
Zhao Gou said: "In this case, the father must pay attention to safety and bring more guards!"
Zhao Ji said in a low tone: "I have made up my mind, this time I will only take Wang Commander to send one person, so as not to alarm those people, this time I must find out who robbed my beloved daughter back then!"
After speaking, Zhao Ji pulled out his sword and swung it violently, directly splitting a nearby screen in half.
Zhao Gou saw that Zhao Ji was angry, and he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he had to ask cautiously: "Erchen has the military information sent back by the Daimyo Mansion, and the Liao State said that it would send troops with the Great Song Dynasty, destroy the Western Xia first, and then deal with the Jin people, you see ......?"
"I already knew about it!" Zhao Ji turned around and sneered: "The Ministry of War has already sent a message, and now Mr. Wen and Mr. Wu are still discussing the plan in the court, and when you come to worry about this matter, the Great Song Dynasty will have already perished!"
"Also, find a way to find the person "Zhang Qing without feather arrows"!" Zhao Ji paused, and then said, "No matter what, the current Shenji Battalion needs him to lead it!"
"Yes, the minister will retire there."
Zhao Gou clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, turned around and walked out slowly.
At this time, Dong Ping and his entourage had just come out of the city.
"Brother Shixiu, when did you come up with this tunnel?"
Dong Ping looked at the tunnel behind him, smiled and said, "You won't be ready years in advance, will you?"
Shi Xiu said with a smile: "Let's just say that, in short, I have no interest in the county official that the emperor Lao'er has sealed."
"In the past two years, except for a few months in Wu Jinlai's manor, I have spent the rest of my time wandering around."
"It's just that you're not interested in these things, big brother, and now it's in vain." Shi Xiu shook his head helplessly and said, "After going back this time, how about letting my brother take the reconnaissance battalion to practice his hands?"
"That's fine." Dong Ping smiled: "By the way, how are all the heroes in Liangshan now?"
When Shi Xiu said this, his face instantly became gloomy, he just shook his head slightly, and said in a low tone: "I don't want to remember those things anymore, the time in Liangshan was the biggest mistake of my Shi Xiu's twenty-five years of life."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, big brother." Shi Xiu laughed twice: "If you hadn't come to Liangshan to work on the great cause of Zhao'an, I wouldn't have seen through everything in the world, and I would have to sink in that place for a lifetime, and there would be no future!"
Dong Ping looked at Shi Xiuqiang's smiling expression, and couldn't say a word for a long time, just sighed slightly.
Soon, the five of them had come to the woods of the bolted horses, and everyone got on their horses and galloped all the way to Dongping City.
Dong Ping pondered for a moment and said, "After today's business is done, we must let Mr. Ma set up a diplomatic agency as soon as possible."
"Diplomacy?"
Liu Yun asked, "Big brother, what do we want this institution to do in this city?"
Yue Fei also smiled and said, "Yes, brother, isn't it a waste of manpower and financial resources for you to set up this institution?"
"Brothers, this institution is not dedicated to the Outlands." Dong Ping smiled and said, "Today's incident can be said to be diplomacy."
Hu Sanniang also asked, "Brother, why is this matter related to diplomacy?"
Dong Ping smiled: "Do you know what the essence of diplomacy is?"
Several people were at a loss, only Yue Fei guessed a little.
However, he was not prepared to say it.
Brother, don't you do anything to betray the court, Yue Fei sighed secretly in his heart, don't force your brother to choose in front of the court's loyal ministers and brotherhood.
"It was once mentioned that the crown prince has no diplomatic righteousness. The Han has an old defense, and the kings are not suitable for visitors. ”
Dong Ping whipped the horse and said slowly: "I also said: What is said outside today, although it makes Gong Shen dare not be diplomatic, but with this name, it is still confusing to the world."
Dong Ping explained with a smile: "It means that the local government has friends with the central officials in the imperial court, which is also a very important thing, and we must set up an institution to cultivate talents, so that we can manage the relationship with the officials in the imperial court."
Hu Sanniang said with a smile: "I understand, the current system of our Dongping City is very different from other cities, so it is especially necessary to establish contacts with the officials of the DPRK and China, right?"
"Exactly, the so-called villain's secret arrow is the most difficult to prevent." Dong Ping's tone gradually sank: "It doesn't matter if you use all means, you must ensure your innocence, so as not to be framed by villains!"
Hearing Dong Ping say this, Yue Fei's heart was almost shocked.
Although I don't know if Dong Ping said this to himself, in the past few years in the Western Army, he originally had a chance to go further.
Because usually Yue Fei never takes those traitors in the court, like Gao Yu, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, they have never received bribes from Yue Fei, and they have not even spoken a word!
Presumably for this reason, they have to keep looking for their own trouble!
Suddenly, Yue Fei thought of the loyal ministers in history who were framed and killed by villains, most of those people disdained to be in the company of villains, and only cared about working the front line.
In the end, most of those people died by the imperial court, or they were like Yang Linggong who went deep alone, and the traitorous ministers died without sending reinforcements!
Sometimes, it doesn't mean to sit down with the villain and drink tea together.
It's just that there is still no shortage of contacts on the surface, and this specific proportion has to be grasped by yourself.
handled well, just like Li Jing and Su Dingfang, they will fight abroad for a lifetime, and they can still seal their wives and children and spend their lives in peace.
If it is not handled well, it is very likely that like Han Xin and others, he will end up with a high merit and death.
Although, that may not have been his intention.
It seems that I misunderstood Dong Ping.
Yue Fei sighed secretly, it seemed that he still knew too little about these people's sophistication.
"So, is it time to go back to Dongping directly?" Yue Fei looked at Dong Ping and asked.
It has been more than fifteen days since he came out, and within five days, he must return to Yan'an, Yue Fei sighed secretly in his heart.
"No, now the five of us will go directly to Erlong Mountain and Shadow Mountain!"
At the same time, Tokyo Kaifeng City, inside the Taiwei Mansion.
"Are you sure that it was Cai Jing who wanted to promote Dong Ping in front of Zhao Ji?"
Gao Yu held a cup of tea, stared at the mist above the teacup, and said indifferently.
"It's true!"
Wang Yu couldn't see a trace of hesitation on his face, and said in a resolute tone: "My subordinates personally heard that it was this person who recommended Dong Ping."
Gao Yu still looked at the fog in front of him, and seemed to have nothing to say.
Wang Yu's eyes were filled with a hint of doubt, Gao Yu hadn't always wanted to deal with this person before, why didn't he care about it now?
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Yu's train of thought was interrupted by a voice.
"Inform Chen Xizhen, look for an opportunity, and start doing something to Cai Jing's people!"
At the same time, the Liao State, the Imperial Palace.
"King of the West, King of the East, have you two determined the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty?"
Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao State sat on the dragon chair and looked at the two people below, and there was a trace of turbulence hidden in the calm.
"This is natural!"
Kneeling on the ground were young men in their early twenties and middle-aged men in their thirties, and although they looked calm, their tones were irrepressible with excitement.
"From the minister's point of view, the Song Kingdom now has Wang Qing, Tian Hu, and Zhong Xiang's three thieves to disrupt the society, and there are Tubo, Dali, Japan and other countries eyeing the country, which is a good time for Daliao to make a move!"
If you look at it intently, those two people are Song Qing, the old general of Liangshan, and Yang Xiong, the sick pass!
Emperor Liao's heart fluctuated, and after thinking for a long time, it was difficult to make a choice after all.
Another half an hour passed, and Emperor Liao was about to speak, when a person outside the main hall was magnificent, strode in from the bottom of the stairs, clasped his hands into fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, this matter is not appropriate, and you must not use troops against the Great Song Dynasty!"
When the crowd was shocked and looked at it, what did that man look like? But see:
The body is nine feet long, the tiger has a strong waist
The character and martial arts are transcendent, and the reputation of the millions of troops is famous
Punch all the traitors in the world, frost and shackle the demon lord
The upper realm descended the True Evil Star, and the Frost Star of Heaven was not to fight
This person is extraordinary, he is the first master of the Great Liao Kingdom, Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard, also known as the drunken tiger Qiao Feng.
