Zhao Gou said: "Then it depends on you, and the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom takes you seriously." If he is sincere in making peace talks, he can send an envoy to our capital city of the Great Song Dynasty on October 15 to discuss peace talks with Tiancheng. If Wan Yan Sheng gives up on you, you will continue to oppose my Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Dynasty 80 million soldiers and civilians will accompany you at any time! ”

Jin Wushu calculated, there is still half a month left on October 15, he said: "Half a month, I'm afraid it will be difficult to decide." ”

"I don't embarrass you, then before November, if there is no messenger coming, then don't talk about it! I want to talk not only about you, but also about the lord of Western Xia. ”

Jin Wushu had no choice but to agree, Zhao Gou gave him pen and ink, Jin Wushu wrote a letter, handed it to a Jin army general, told him to quickly send a report, and be sure to inform the Holy Lord as soon as possible to save him.

Kim Wushu was taken down and guarded, and Lee Chang-woo was brought out again.

Zhao Gou said: "I have asked the Golden Vulture to go back and send an envoy to sue for peace, and now it is your turn." ”

Li Changyou said: "I have not encroached on your land, I don't know what compensation the emperor needs?" ”

"Take gold, silver, sheep and horses in exchange for the captives of your country, one hundred taels of silver for ordinary soldiers, double the silver for each higher level, and it shouldn't be expensive to buy a soldier for one hundred taels of silver. If you can't afford it, you can only stay in my Great Song Labor Camp. Zhao Gou unceremoniously released his request.

Li Changyou secretly smacked his tongue, 50,000 surrendered troops, all soldiers need 5 million taels, plus officers at all levels need at least 7 million taels. He was embarrassed and said: "There are so many, it is difficult for my country to pay compensation." ”

Qu Ping said I'll give you an account, one hundred taels for a soldier, two hundred taels for the first level, four hundred taels for the second level, and fifty-one thousand two hundred taels for the tenth level, Marshal Li, you don't think you're worth this number.

Li Changyou thought that this was cheap, and he said: "If the silver is not enough, can you replace it with other ones, such as cows, horses, and women?" ”

Zhao said: "Cattle, horses and livestock are exchanged according to the value, and women don't want them." The front is an equivalent exchange of prisoners, not counting compensation, your 100,000 army invaded our Great Song Dynasty, the city and land collapsed, the country and the people were ruined, and the lives were ruined, killing our soldiers and civilians is not only tens of thousands, so calculated, it is also a hundred taels of silver per person, plus the damage to the city wall, bridges and roads, and then five million taels of compensation! ”

"There are so many, and it is difficult for me to pay for the strength of the Western Xia!" Li Changyou complained bitterly and did not fall.

Zhao Gou said: "Everything is easy to discuss, the key is to see what sincerity you have to negotiate. I'm tired, so be it, you immediately repair the book and go back, if you don't want to talk about peace, you don't have to go back! ”

Li Changyou had no choice but to repair a letter and send someone back to Beijing immediately. Then Li Changyou was honestly escorted down.

Zhao Gou invited the generals to sit down in the camp tent and said: "Our army has broken the Jinguo East Road and the Jinxia Allied Army West Road, and you Aiqing has made great contributions. If I am tired after a long war, although I have the intention to destroy the enemy country, but the country is in ruins and unable to continue, I have come up with this strategy to force the two countries to come to the peace talks, no matter whether the peace talks are successful or not, the Jinxia has not been able to invade the south again in recent years. Next is the period of our arms logistics race, and whoever develops quickly will have the initiative! ”

Qu Ping said: "Emperor Shengming, this is not a book, it is really the best policy!" ”

The generals nodded one after another, although each had the intention of killing the enemy, it was difficult to go further without logistics support and excellent soldiers.

Zong Ze said: "Although our army has won a big victory, but there are many accidental elements, if there is no emperor and General Qu to strategize and win a thousand miles, there is no General Wu and General Han and others to bravely resist the enemy, the whole army is dedicated to life, today's victory or defeat is two words." ”

Wu Jue said: "If it weren't for General Qu who traveled thousands of miles to save the emperor and eliminate the traitors, my Great Song Dynasty would have been disturbed by civil strife. ”

Qu Ping excused himself and said: "Thanks to Mrs. Han's report, Mrs. Protector traveled hundreds of miles at night, and she is really a model for the whole country!" ”

The emperor nodded and said, "That's right, General Han, you have a good lady, without her, there would be no me!" General Liu's thousands of miles of detour through the Taihang Mountain, attacking from behind, is also indispensable! ”

Liu Guangshi said: "Ashamed! If it weren't for the luck of encountering the 20,000 remnants of the Western Xia soldiers who fled north in the end, the ministers wouldn't even be able to drink the soup. ”

Qu Ping said: "Where is it, you should also be the first to encircle and annihilate the Golden Vulture in the end!" ”

The emperor laughed: "You Aiqing don't need to be humble, and you don't need to praise each other, your merits are all in my eyes and in my heart." General Qu, General Yue, General Wu, General Liu, General Han, General Zhang, and General Zong Ze, you are all my generals. It is up to you to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty and raise the prestige of our country! ”

Everyone said in unison: "I am willing to do my best for the emperor, and my liver and brain are smeared!" ”

Zong Ze proposed: "Jin Xia has captured nearly 100,000 people, how should they be settled?" ”

Zhao Gou pondered: "This is indeed a tricky question, what is the best plan for Zhong Aiqing?" ”

After Zhao Gou finished speaking, he looked at Qu Ping, Qu Ping did not answer immediately, but waited and gave the opportunity to others. In this rush to answer the question, you still need to be courteous and accumulate virtue.

Yue Fei is the latest to join the high-level group, and he needs to perform the most. He replied: "The minister thinks that the Jinxia prisoners can be temporarily moved to the south bank of the Yellow River and resettled separately, with one concentration camp for every 10,000 prisoners, each battalion guarded by 3,500 soldiers, and the senior generals set up another barracks to settle them, and then dispose of them when the peace talks have a result." ”

Zhao Gou said: "This method is the best, there is no better way, so it will be dealt with according to General Yue's opinion." General Zong, you are relatively good at handling logistics and government affairs, so I ordered you to take this matter with full authority. ”

"The old minister must do his best not to dishonor the emperor's order." Zong Ze said.

Zhao Gou finally said: "This is the matter, after the whole army repairs for three days, I will return to Beijing in triumph, and I will have a reward!" ”

Three days later, the whole army escorted the captives across the river, built a concentration camp in Fengqiu to accommodate the prisoners, and sent Zhao Libu and Liu Guangshi with a total of 40,000 horses to garrison, and most of the other armies returned to their original places or garrisoned separately except for the main general who followed the emperor back to Beijing.

Liu Guangshi's department is stationed on Hebei East Road, Yue Fei's department is stationed on Hebei West Road, Han Shizhong's department is stationed on Hedong Road, Wu Jie's department is stationed on Shaanxi Road, Zhang Jun's department is stationed on Jingxi Road, Kaifeng Mansion and Yingtianfu are combined into Jinggi Road, Kaifeng is garrisoned by Zongze, and Yingtian is garrisoned by Qu Ping. Zhao Li made meritorious rescue efforts and was stationed on Jingbei Road. reach

This frontier and all the provinces of Gyeonggi were guarded by a large army. Qing Xuanzi and Chen Chong are now guarding Xingzhou, Shunde Prefecture, and are temporarily under the jurisdiction of Yue Fei.

The emperor, the generals, Zong Ze and Qu Ping went to Kaifeng together, leaving Zong Ze to stay in Kaifeng, and then took a big boat to line up and go down the Gyeonggi Grand Canal to Yingtian.

The people looked at the emperor's dragon boat on both sides of the strait, knelt down and shouted long live the emperor, long live the emperor. The whole people celebrated their return of victory, and some even wept with joy.

Zhao Gou changed into a dragon robe, stood at the bow of the boat, and frequently waved to the people on both sides of the strait.

Qu Ping had already quietly sent people to mix in disguise among the people, leading the people to shout "The emperor has worked hard" and "The soldiers have worked hard", and Zhao Gou responded on the dragon boat "The people have worked hard" and "Serve the people".

Qu Ping instructed the emperor not to say words such as "I should be" and "what I do", etc., to make the people feel that the world is not the world of the emperor alone, but the world of the whole world, so that the people of the world will have a greater sense of belonging and identity, and will put themselves in the shoes of the country's suffering, share the pressure of the country, so as to build the country, and then can deeply experience the joy of the achievements of the country's prosperity.

Zhao Gou felt the cheers of the people, and while he was excited, he also understood the relationship between the people, the emperor and the imperial court. He thought to himself that he should not only be a good emperor, but also a great emperor.

When Yingtian got on the boat, Li Gang on the shore led hundreds of civil and military officials and the people to welcome the saint for a long time.

The cold wind of October can't blow away the warmth in people's hearts.

Hundreds of officials and people knelt down to greet the mountain and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Zhao Gou said excitedly: "All the ministers and the people, please be even. You've all worked hard, too. Today, in front of hundreds of officials and the people, I solemnly swear that I must be a great and good emperor, strengthen the army, protect the community, promote culture, and benefit the people! ”

The subjects once again bowed to the mountain and shouted long live.

The emperor sat in a sedan chair all the way back to the palace, and asked the hundreds of officials in Beijing to go back to their respective homes first, and then talk about it tomorrow. Many civil and military officials and ordinary people followed the emperor's car, and they did not leave until the emperor entered the palace gate.

Qu Ping's troops followed to Yingtian, and there should be a place to stay. The terrain of Dangshan Mountain in Kyoto is flat, Qu Ping chose to build a military camp here, and sent Jiang Boyan and Yang Zaixing to lead all the existing 40,000 horses to be stationed in the past to build a camp and repair the village.

Li Cailian said: "Dashuai, I'll go too!" ”

"Aren't you going back to Beijing to meet your brother Lu?" Qu Ping said.

I don't know why it's such a grand day, why didn't Lu Ji come to participate in the drive, I don't know if he has something, or he is busy with something else. I don't know how his leg is doing.

Li Cailian said: "What is there to see. As he spoke, he had already taken steps towards Yingtian City.

Qu Ping said goodbye to several other generals and officials who knew each other, and said to Yue Fei: "Brother Yue, you don't have a residence in the capital yet, so it's better to settle down with me first, and when the emperor has a reward, it's not too late for you to move out." ”

Yue Fei looked at Xiao Lu, who was following behind Qu Ping, and said, "It's inconvenient." ”

Xiao Lu smiled and said, "What's inconvenient, it's the first time I'm going, and I'm afraid I'm embarrassed alone." ”

Qu Ping said: "You dare to invite the emperor to marry, what else don't you dare?" In the battle of 100,000 troops, you dare to stand so high and beat the drum to help, what else do you dare not do? "Qu Ping also wants to say that you can alone in the smoke of war, what else is there to dare not.

"It's a time and a moment." Xiao Lu said.

"Sir! Master! At this time, several people were running with small steps on their shoulders, shouting towards Qu Ping and running over excitedly.

Qu Ping saw that it was not the traffic light combination on his house, Butler Huang, Xiaohong and Xiaolu.
