Chapter 170: Someone from a Foreign Country

By the time the boatman supported the boat with a long penny, and crossed the river with the two men and two horses staggeringly, Hedaan was already so nervous that his whole body was soaked with sweat, sweating, and his face was pale.

Qu Ping first pulled the two horses ashore, and then helped Heda to go up, comforting: "Riding a boat and riding a horse are the same, shaking, don't be afraid!" Shake it a few more times and get used to it! ”

Hedaan slowly calmed down and said expectantly, "If only there was a bridge." ”

Qu Ping smiled and said: "When all places are peaceful, you can drive the bridge." A bridge of friendship! ”

He Anxin thought that it must be very difficult to build a bridge over the Yellow River. But that's not something he's going to think about.

Since Liu Xiaochen and Li Mu broke down on behalf of the Song and Xia countries and the Jin State negotiations, Wanyan Zongbi resolutely sent another 100,000 troops to Western Xia to attack.

Li Changzuo ordered the northern right wing to raise troops against the Shun Army Division to attack the Hetao Plain to meet the first wave of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses before the Jin soldiers. Helplessly, the commander of the Chaoshun army in the right wing was ineffective in resisting the enemy, losing three battles in a row and losing 300 miles.

After the defeat in front, the people of the court were uncertain, Li Changzuo angrily killed the commander of the Chaoshun Army Division of the Right Wing, and personally led 100,000 troops to send troops to the Beijing Division, which was bound to annihilate the Jin soldiers.

At this time, the Western Xia army was under the imperial conquest of the emperor Li Qianshun, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and even broke the golden soldiers. In addition, the Jin army did not slack off in its strength, and it was defeated and retreated one after another. The Jin army was sniped by the Great Song Yang Zaixing Department that came from the rear, and only more than 20,000 people escaped. After that, Wanyan Zongbi's second 100,000 soldiers and horses came one after another, and finally stopped the defeat.

So far, the two sides have been deadlocked in the Hetao area south of the Yellow River, attacking and defending each other, and each side has its own victories and defeats.

Li Changzuo moved the real fire and vowed to be inseparable from the Jin State, so he did not hesitate to ask the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to attack the Jin State at the cost of three million taels of silver per year.

Zhao Gou was also determined to join the Xixia elder brother into a close-knit circle of friends, so he ordered Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei to go north to attack the Jin State in three ways, and Zhang Jun was the rear, ready to join the battle at any time.

The front-line troops under the jurisdiction of Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei have been hating the Jin army for many years, and they have long been holding back the fire. The Song army suddenly attacked, and in three days advanced to the foot of the Great Wall. The Jin soldiers held the pass and urgently asked for help from the Jin court.

Now, the scales at both ends of the war are reversed.

The originally strong Jin Guo fell into the mud and fell into passivity. Western Xia has already gone all the way to the black, either death or life, and is dedicated to fighting with the Jin Kingdom, but it has made the Great Song Dynasty the last fisherman.

originally thought that the plot would be reversed to the end, and the Jin State was strongly besieged by Song Xia, but who knows, the peace envoy of the Jin State arrived at Yingtianfu, but Zhao Gou promised to restart the peace talks between the Three Kingdoms with the Jin State.

Why?

Could it be that the alliance of Tanyuan is going to reappear?

In fact, something big happened to Da Song!

In fact, the three armies of Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei were strongly pressurized, and under the long-term attack outside the Great Wall, it seemed that it was about to become a protracted war and a human flesh war, who knew that the backyard was out of water.

What's wrong?

Zhang Jun's Jingdong West Road has always been used as a grain and grass reserve in the rear of the war zone, and Zhao Gou judged that this would be a protracted war, so he ordered Jingxi Road to prepare to send grain from the canal to the three-way war zone for consumption.

Who knew that the weather was dry and dry, and that night there was thunder and lightning, and the thunder ignited the grain depot, and nearly seventy percent of the war-ready grain that had been stored for three years was burned!

I don't know if it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, in short, God is not beautiful.

The ambitious Zhang Jun was ready to show his skills, but he was teased by God, so he had to order his subordinates to investigate the matter thoroughly, whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, why he had spent several years safely, but he was in trouble at this critical juncture. On the other hand, Zhang Jun had no choice but to take the blame and ask the emperor to surrender his guilt, and he would never give up.

Zhao Gou and the ministers of the DPRK and China were full of confidence, but who knew that the evil news came, and Zhao Gou was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Zhao Gou was extremely angry, so he ordered the suspension of Zhang Junjing's position as the commander of Jingxi Road, and ordered him to cooperate with the Criminal Department to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Just a few days after this incident, the envoy of the Jin State happened to come to Beijing.

Considering that the three parties were already mired in war and were at a stalemate, Zhao agreed to continue the negotiations at Taiyuan Mansion on Hedong Road.

Liu Xiaochen wanted to be ashamed and asked for orders to negotiate again.

Therefore, when Qu Ping crossed the Yellow River, the battle had been suspended, and the envoys of the three kingdoms in Taiyuan Province had already begun to talk about each other.

The place where the boat docked was a small village, and the original population was small, but because of the war, it was even more sparsely populated.

Qu Ping and the others led the horses through the small village, and saw a man holding a potted tree in his hand, passing sideways twenty meters away in front of him. Qu Ping saw that he was a little familiar, and when he looked closely, he really looked like him, so he shouted:

"Re-xing!"

The man in the distance turned around, looked at Qu Ping in disbelief, looked at it for a while, and said excitedly: "My lord! Checkmate! Kokuko-sama! Is it really you? ”

"Haha!" Qu Ping took He'an forward and rounded with Yang Zaixing, "Zaixing, I didn't expect it to be you, when did you come back, why are you here again?" How do you wear casual clothes? ”

Faced with Qu Ping's series of questions, Yang Zaixing was a little embarrassed, and answered them one by one: "My lord, my subordinates came back in April, and I heard that my lord led the troops to fight in Western Xia, and later there were some accidents, and my subordinates couldn't rest assured. It happened that the emperor wanted to help Xia fight against Jin, so I volunteered to borrow 5,000 soldiers and horses from General Han of Hedong Road, entered the Hetao Plain, and cut off the grain and grass of the Jin soldiers. ”

Qu Ping nodded, Yang Zaixing cut off the grain and grass of the Jin army with 5,000 men and horses, presumably it would take a combination of wisdom and courage to retreat. The end of the world

"I originally expected to increase the bargaining chips with Jin Guo, but who expected that Yan Zongbi's idea was different from ordinary people, and he actually broke the kettle and increased his troops by 100,000. The two sides fought here for many days, winning and losing each other. Recently, the three parties reached a consensus on a truce and peace talks. Yang Zaixing said.

Qu Ping said: "I see. Wanyan Zongbi is a fierce general of the Jin Dynasty, I saw that we had a fight, this person must not be underestimated! ”

"If the negotiations go well, the Jin soldiers will definitely withdraw their troops, and we will also evacuate. If the negotiations fail, it is estimated that there will be another battle. However, when the marshal comes, our odds are even greater! Yang Zaixing said with confidence.

He'an listened to Yang Zaixing call Qu Ping an adult for a while, a general for a while, a principality for a while, and a marshal for a while, this General Yang Zaixing also said that Qu Ping would have a better chance of winning when he came, and he secretly sighed in his heart, I didn't expect Qu Ping to be such a powerful lord, could it be that he could turn things around with the power of one person?

Qu Ping probably understood the ins and outs, and introduced Yang Zaixing to Hedaan with a smile and said: "Brother Hedaan, this is General Yang Zaixing of our Great Song Dynasty, he has just returned from conquering Fusang, but it's amazing!" Zaixing, let me introduce you to him, this is Heda'an, the son of Hebul Khan of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe, and Hebul Khan also has a son named Khutura, who is my sworn brother. Everyone get to know each other, and they will all be their own brothers in the future! ”

Yang Zaixing and Heda'an got to know each other, Qu Ping saw a pot of flowers blooming like a moon in Yang Zaixing's hand, and quipped: "Zaixing is busy and leisurely, and there is leisure and elegance to touch flowers and grass!" There is a way that flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for the flowers to be empty and break the branches! ”

Yang Zaixing's face turned red, and he had to tell the truth: "Don't make fun of me, adults, how can you understand the wind and snow?" I also inadvertently saw this moon-shaped flower, which looked quite chic, so I had to dig it up and transplant it into a pot to see if I could bring it to the sky to feed. ”

"Zaixing is definitely a good hand in changing careers to study agriculture." Qu Ping praised.

Yang Zaixing said curtly: "This matter is also related to adults. ”

"Oh? How does it have to do with me? ”

"My lord forgot, didn't you bring back a girl named Ah Yue from Yunnan......

Qu Ping suddenly remembered, and said with a smile: "Are you all good?" Hahahaha! This Ah Yue girl is really patient, she can stay in Yingtian for so long alone! Tell me, how did you get better? ”

Yang Zaixing said shyly: "Isn't it the red line that the adults pulled?" There's nothing to say, just look at each other. My lord, I'll take you back to the camp first, and Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, is also here. ”

Li Qianshun proclaimed himself emperor internally, and the Great Song Dynasty called him the king of Western Xia to show his vassals.

Qu Ping gossiped: "Don't divert the topic, this is not a matter of personal feelings between the two of you, but also a matter of national harmony!" Come on, talk about it, don't be shy! ……”

The camp of the Western Xia army, 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the battalion of the banner company.

Yang Zaixing took the two of them directly to see Li Changzuo. Yang Zaixing, as the supreme general of the friendly army of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally had the right to be unimpeded in the Western Xia camp.

Li Changzuo was worried at this time, seeing that the Xia and Song coalition forces were about to merge the two roads of the Jin State into a painful blow, why did the Song court agree to negotiate peace with the Jin State, I really don't understand, could it be that there is another hidden secret?

When Li Changzuo heard that Qu Ping was back, he swept away his gloom with joy and immediately went out to greet Qu Ping.

"Lord Guogong, you're back!" Li Changzuo said excitedly.

Qu Ping said: "Haha, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life and beheaded Li Qianshun." ”

Li Changzuo heard Qu Ping personally say this good news, and naturally rejoiced, and said: "Hurry up and talk in the tent, have you worked hard all the way?" ”

Everyone entered the account, and Qu Ping asked, "I heard that peace talks have begun?" ”

Li Changzuo said abruptly: "It's hard to say. The battle has been fought for more than three months, the victory is difficult to distinguish, and everyone is tired, if you can find a way out that satisfies all three parties, it will definitely be the best! ”

Qu Ping saw that Li Changzuo was a little insincere, and it seemed that he wanted to give Jin Guo a blow in his heart. Calming external disturbances beautifully is probably the most powerful way to calm the interior.

Qu Ping asked, "How are you satisfied?" ”

"The internal worries of Daxia are undecided, and the external troubles still exist. Of course, I hope to unite with the Great Song Dynasty and give the Jin Kingdom a painful and even fatal blow to relieve the hatred in my heart. However, there are many factors that need to be considered in war, and it is not something that I can do alone. Li Changzuo said.

Qu Ping saw that Li Changzuo seemed to have an extraneous meaning, and said: "As far as I know, the Great Song Dynasty soldiers sent three ways to attack the southern defense line of the Jin State, and they advanced for hundreds of miles in a day, and they have already put pressure on the defense line of the Great Wall of the Jin State on all fronts, and the breakthrough is just around the corner, but for some reason they suddenly stopped fighting and agreed to make peace. ”

Li Changzuo saw that Qu Ping's words were broken, and he had nothing to hide, and said: "The holy will of the kingdom is unpredictable, and now I only ask the Jin country to withdraw from the army, so that Daxia will have the opportunity to recuperate." ”

Everyone talked about the current situation, and it seems that the peace talks have a great chance of success, after all, this time Jin Guo took the initiative to contact the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty also pushed the boat to take over.

The next step is to wait for the results of the peace talks to come out.

Qu Ping stayed for five days, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and the results of the peace talks finally came as quickly as possible.

The three parties discussed, Jin and Song each returned to the original border line, Yunzhou and Shuozhou had promised the Jin state because of the first emperor of Western Xia, and the Song side demanded that the two states be divided into Song and Jin. The Jin side considered that if the Song side of Yunshuo and the two states got a place, it would mean that the gate of the Great Wall had been opened, and the Jin country would lose this natural barrier.

In the end, after some tug-of-war and argument between the two sides, the three parties finally agreed: Yunshuo belonged to the Jin State, but the land currently occupied by the Song army twenty miles south of the Great Wall of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures belonged to the Song side.

It is equivalent to saying that the Jin State will make every effort to protect the Great Wall, and this defense line will be owned by the Jin State.

It can be seen how noble the inheritance of our ancestors is.

Precious things, if you don't cherish them, once they are owned by others, it will be difficult to return them to their original owners, after all, good things are used and who knows.
