Jin Guo went up to Wan Yan Zongbi and down to the generals present, all of whom hated Liu Xiaochen for making nonsense in front of Wan Yan Zongbi, and hated to kill him now to vent their hatred.

A general shouted: "Lord Liu, the Western Xia is the world of the party people, and the Great Song Dynasty is the world of the Han people, what do you say about the same ancestry!?" You can enter the Marshal's Mansion because Dajin gives face to the Song Dynasty, not because I'm afraid of you! Do you want the shame of Jingkang to repeat itself? ”

When it came to the shame of Jingkang, Liu Xiaochen became angry, his blood surged, he rushed to his head with pride, and said loudly without fear: "Jingkang's shame, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed!" General Yue's "Man Jianghong" is known to everyone in the world! Do you want to welcome the anger of the enemies of the Great Song Army and the Republic of China now? ”

The general still wanted to argue that "Man Jianghong" is just a little song that records the humiliation of the Song Dynasty, and you are embarrassed to say it. But because Liu Xiaochen's aura was too big at that time, he didn't dare to say it.

Liu Xiaochen then told them: "In addition, the Han people are a tolerant people. The Great Song Dynasty is not only Han Chinese, but also Miao people, Xianbei people, Dangxiang people, Uighurs, etc., which is a big family of multi-ethnic unity and integration! In the future, more people of all ethnic groups will merge in. They have a unified name, called Song people, called Chinese! ”

Li Mu listened to Liu Xiaochen's speech, and admired him in his heart. The Great Song Dynasty is indeed the land of the Hidden Dragon and the Crouching Tiger! I wonder if the "big family of multi-ethnic unity and integration" he is talking about will finally be realized, or will it just stay in a utopian dream?

The general of the Jin Kingdom said: "Joke, what 'unified name is Song people, called Chinese', it's just a gimmick to dominate the world!" ”

Wanyan Zongbi stopped the provocation of his subordinates and said to Liu Xiaochen: "Lord Liu, don't be impulsive, your main task is to coordinate the conflict of interests between Jin Xia. This king is open and honest, and wants the Jin army to retreat, except for the two states of Yunshuo, the eastern border of Western Xia will retreat a hundred miles, and the compensation will be 10 million taels of gold and silver, and 30,000 cattle and horses! ”

Li Mu didn't need to think and said: "It is the limit to cede the two states of Yunshuo, three million taels of silver, no more, ten thousand cattle and sheep, and no horses." ”

In terms of land, Li Changzuo gave a death order, not to cede another inch of land, as for 10 million taels of silver, it is the financial income of Western Xia for several years, and he can't get so much out of smashing pots and selling iron, as for horses, they are an important part of the army, and compensating horses is to send money and cannons to the enemy.

"Then we can't talk about it!" Wanyan Zongbi saw that Li Mu answered so quickly and decisively, and sneered and said.

Li Mu said: "Three million taels of silver is almost a year's tax in Great Xia, plus cattle and sheep, which is equivalent to everyone in Great Xia not eating or drinking for a year to compensate you." Isn't it enough that Daikin can easily get so much compensation? ”

Liu Xiaochen said: "Contentment is the only way to be happy." ”

Wanyan Zongbi thought about it, took a step back and said, "Five million silver, twenty thousand cattle and horses!" ”

"Forgive me." Li Mudao.

"Hmph, you're a toast and don't eat and drink! Two adults, the 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin army will soon be under the city of Xingqing, and when the time comes, you will know how merciful this king is now! Come and bring three distinguished guests down to entertain you. After Yan Zongbi finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Wanyan Zongbi ordered the three of them to be placed under house arrest, and they had food and drink, but they didn't go out.

The three of them were at a loss in the room.

Li Muwei said: "I've caused you trouble, are we under house arrest now?" ”

Wu Zhishen said: "Do you want to escape at night?" ”

Liu Xiaochen said calmly: "Don't worry. According to the number of days, General Yang will not receive my flying pigeon biography the day after tomorrow, so it is time to take action. ”

"The Great Song Dynasty is going to send troops to attack the Jin Kingdom?" Li Mu asked.

"Send troops to Western Xia and clean up the garbage." Liu Xiaochen said.

Taiyuan House, Hedong Road.

"General Han, Lord Liu hasn't heard from me for more than two days, I'm afraid there will be more than one bad luck. According to the prior agreement, I am afraid that I will have to send troops to put some pressure on the Jin State. Yang Zaixing voiced his concerns.

Han Shizhong said: "That's it. I will send a message to the king of Western Xia and ask him to send troops to meet the Jin soldiers. Also, How many soldiers and horses does General Yang want? ”

Yang Zaixing already had a belly case, and this time the troops paid attention to being fast and accurate, and non-cavalry could not complete the mission.

Yang Zaixing said: "Three thousand cavalry! ”

Han Shizhong was shocked and said, "Is it enough? Why don't you give you five thousand? ”

"There are not many soldiers, but they are fine, and they are ordered and prohibited." Yang Zaixing said calmly.

"That's good. I'll send troops to support you at any time! Han Shizhong said. I hope that Yang Zaixing really has two brushes, instead of shouting slogans.

Yang Zaixing said again: "Please inform General Yue and General Liu, please ask the two of you to form troops and horses on the front line of Yanbian, and make an attack to make the Jin Kingdom tremble without a fight." ”

"I will!"

Yang Zaixing and Han Shizhong discussed and decided, and led 3,000 elite soldiers to ride out of Taiyuan.

From the north of Yinzhou into the territory of Western Xia, and then a hundred miles to the north is the intersection of the three kingdoms, is the only way for the Jin soldiers to invade the Western Xia, as long as they occupy the back road of the Jin army, they can cut off the grain and grass support of the Jin army, and they can pursue the back road of the Jin soldiers to the west.

This is Yang Zaixing's strategy.

The Hetao Plain is rich in water and grass, with herds of cattle and sheep, and is the favorite grazing place of nomads.

After the Great Song Dynasty obtained the land of Yinzhou and Longzhou, they could take a detour from the west road to the east, go around to the north of the Great Wall, and then attack the Jin State, and no longer have to face the large-scale Great Wall occupied by the Jin State in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are not only geographically located but also the throat of the Central Plains, and the most important thing is the important gateway of the Great Wall. This is also the reason why after Shi Jingtang recognized the thief as his father and sent him out of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Central Plains Imperial Court always wanted to take it back.

Losing the land of Yanyun is like a fish stalk roaring and a sword hanging on the top! It's equivalent to opening the door to sleep! Parkway

Where there is a will, there is a way; Hard-working people, the sky does not pay.

Yang Zaixing climbed over a small hill and saw a Jin Army grain and grass team of nearly 1,000 people, escorting the grain and grass to the west.

With so much grain and grass, it must have been supplied to the large troops at the front.

Yang Zaixing secretly sighed that heaven rewarded hard work, and led the team to drive the horse from the rear of the Jin soldiers to cover the past.

The Jin army's grain transportation team itself lacked combat strength, and there was still distraction to take care of the grain and grass, and the two Song troops rushed back and forth to kill, so they couldn't parry, and those who fled fled and died, leaving more than 100 Jin soldiers who couldn't escape, so they had to admit surrender.

Yang Zaixing learned from the captives that these grains and grasses were really sent to the troops at the front. Yang Zaixing grabbed a prisoner and said, "You are lucky, Ben will let you go back and send you a horse." ”

That person can't care why Yang Zaixing let him go, the pie in the sky is falling from the sky, and if you miss this village, I'm afraid there will be no next store. He knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for your great kindness, General!" ”

"Go back and tell you the truth about your marshal Jin Wushu, the vanguard of the Song army 8,000 elite cavalry has robbed your grain and grass, and there are still 50,000 horses in the rear about to arrive here, cutting off the route of your army. If you want the attacking troops in front to be cut off from food and grass and annihilated, you should have said something earlier. Yang Zaixing frightened.

The man agreed, climbed on his horse in a panic, and ran desperately in the direction from which he came.

The rest of the captives watched his vanishing back longingly, lamenting the injustice of fate to them.

Success is also fate, and defeat is fate.

Intercepting the Jin army's food and grass supply is the set goal, and the next step is to wander in the Hetao Plain, or attack the enemy's back to the west, which is the best choice.

Yang Zaixing thought about it, first wandered, and then attacked the enemy's back in the west. had to wait for the Western Xia army and the Jin army to fight, and he took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack the back of the Jin soldiers. Otherwise, I would have gone early, and I would have become a gold army leveling experience.

The released captive fled back to Yanqing Mansion in the Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Zongbi learned of the situation, and was furious, and said angrily: "Why is it so careless, the grain and grass supplied to 50,000 soldiers and horses were intercepted by the Song army like this!?" ”

Xiaobing didn't dare to speak, he was not in charge, how could he blame him for the accident, he could come back and report the news, it would already be a meritorious service.

"Push it out and cut it!" Wanyan Zongbi ordered.

The little soldier was so frightened that he begged for mercy: "Marshal...... King...... Spare your life! The small ones are just errands......"

In the midst of the shouting, the soldier was dragged out by the crowd. There was a "click" outside the house and he was cut off.

Wanyan Zongbi killed this little soldier to discourage, and then ordered someone to summon Liu Xiaochen and Li Mu.

Liu Xiaochen and the three of them were preparing to have lunch, and after hearing that Yan Zongbi was going to summon him, they thought about it in their hearts.

Liu Xiaochen held down Li Mu and Wu Zhishen, who were about to clean up the chopsticks, and said to the visitor: "Didn't you see us eating?" How can you talk if you don't have enough to eat? This meal is too light, let's exchange some chicken, duck and fish! ”

If someone can't be the master, he will go to his superiors.

Li Mu said puzzledly: "Lord Liu, have you gone too far?" ”

"It's okay, now it's the Golden Vulture who has come to see us, what are you afraid of?" Liu Xiaochen looked like he was in his chest.

Wu Zhishen asked, "How do you know that the Golden Vulture asked to see us, instead of killing us?" ”

"If you kill your head, you have to eat well, haha!" Liu Xiaochen smiled and said: "Let me break it down one by one." In the past almost half a month, General Yang has not received any news from me, and he must have sent troops, and he has successfully hit the key point of the Jin army. So now the Golden Vulture has changed his attitude towards us, wants to see us, and continues to negotiate. ”

Li Mu understood in his heart, nodded and said: "This time, that time, the conditions have to be changed." ”

"That's right!" Liu Xiaochen said.

After a while, sure enough, the subordinates of the Marshal's Mansion replaced themselves with big fish and meat, saying that the marshal wanted to see you when they were full.

The three of them finished their meal slowly and methodically, and then went to see Yan Zongbi.

Wanyan Zongbi was taken aback, and now he changed his attitude and said: "The three of them have been in the house for many days, and this king has been neglectful, and he is really busy with official business, please forgive me." Come, sit down, sit down. ”

Wanyan Zongbi ordered someone to sit on the three of them, Liu Li and the others sat down honestly and calmly, and Wu Zhishen was still standing behind Liu Xiaochen.

Wanyan Zongbi went straight to the point and said: "The proposal made by the two adults last time, this king has already played it to the emperor, and after the emperor discussed it with the ministers, he thought that the peace and friendship between the three kingdoms was not easy to come by, so that this king agreed to the proposal of the two. Today, the king specially arranged a time, everyone signed the peace treaty, and the king immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and this matter was successfully over! ”

Liu Xiaochen and Li Mu glanced at each other and did not speak.

"Why don't you speak? In order to reach a peace treaty, this king did not help the two of them speak to the emperor! Wanyan Zongbi didn't like it.

Li Mu said: "Half a month has passed, and I have thought about it for a while. The Jin army trampled on the territory of Great Xia for half a month, and lost a lot of money, people, horses, cattle and sheep, and I am afraid that the country of Great Xia will not be able to take out 3 million taels of silver and 10,000 cattle and sheep each. ”

Wanyan Zongbi said angrily: "You dare to play this king!" ”

Liu Xiaochen helped Li Mu and said: "Lord Marshal, after half a month, you deigned to see us, I'm afraid you are deflated by the war ahead, right?" ”

They can't possibly know what the battle is going on. Wanyan Zongbi said: "Haha, to tell you the truth, the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers are already about to hit the Great Xia Jingshi!" Great Xia has only experienced a war, where can I have the ability to resist my Dajin's strong soldiers! ”
