Chapter 19o Speculative and Speculative
Guo Rong's threatening words made Gao Xun's face change, he tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's words are wrong!" It has been more than ten years since the sixteen states of Shannan returned to my Khitan, and all along, all industries have been prosperous, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment; But on the other hand, the Central Plains, the war is unbearable, the people are displaced, and there are countless people who fled from the Central Plains to Shannan in previous years, which is the virtue and politics of our emperor. Bayi Chinese Network And now, your country has brazenly invaded our Khitan, and in order to avoid the destruction of life, my lord specially sent me to negotiate peace. It's not that I, the Khitan, don't fight, it's just because my lord is merciful and doesn't want the people to suffer. ”
"Hehehehe..." Guo Rong smiled.
Gao Xun's words are too fake. **When the archway is erected, it is not nothing. But do ** are done quietly, only the archway is above board. Like Gao Xun, he did ** openly, and put gold on his face openly. No one is stupid, can you believe what he says? What are the Khitans like to the people of the Central Plains, and what kind of emperor is the Khitan Emperor Yelujing, this... Can Guo Rong not know? Can the people around Yanyun not know? What's the point of you Gao Xun singing such a high note!
Li Gu on the side asked slowly: "Since you want to negotiate peace, your lord will not just talk nonsense, right?" ”
"This... Of course not. If, if your country can withdraw its troops, my lord is willing to cede Mozhou, Yingzhou, and Cheongju to your country! But the three levels have to be returned to me Khitan! Gao Xun replied. He is not stupid, the truth of bargaining is naturally understood, if he opens his hole cards as soon as he comes up, he will be completely passive.
"Hmph, don't say that it's three passes, now Zhuozhou is in our hands. Don't you know? The sixteen states of Yanyun were originally the land of the Central Plains, and now they are in my hands, and An Neng will let them again! Your lord's abacus is good. Li Gu sneered.
"I can't say that, since Emperor Taizu of the Later Jin Dynasty was called a minister and a son, and contributed the sixteen states of Yanyun to my Khitan, this land in the south of the mountain already belongs to my Khitan. To the south of Yingzhou is the Central Plains, and to the north of Yingzhou is the Khitan, which everyone in the world knows! Gao Xun retorted.
Li Gu's words are a bit of a scoundrel, too utilitarian, open your mouth and close your mouth is that I came, I saw it, I conquered it, you, where is it cool, where to stay! But Gao Xun refuted it little by little according to the treaty of Jin Shi Jingjiao after that year. The meaning of the words is that I have international law, and you have to admit it.
"Oh, I heard that Jin Lord Shi Chonggui is now in Khitan, but is it true?" Guo Rong asked without a stroke.
Gao Xun was slightly sweating on the door of his head. Why is he so nervous? Because the atmosphere of the conversation just now was very discordant, it made him feel a little unsustainable, and if he continued to talk about it, he would break his face. But don't you talk about it? The task assigned by Gao Mohan and Gao Xiangye cannot be completed! What the prime minister wants is peace talks, not procrastination. At this time, Guo Rong changed the topic, and Gao Xun naturally nodded again and again as if he had won a heavy treasure: "It's true, Lord Shi is in my Khitan!" "After Shi Chonggui was betrayed by his uncle, he was captured alive by his godfather and sealed as a disobedient marquis.
"Since the Lord of Jin is still here, Qing can say that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will be delivered to me in Da Zhou first, and then order the Lord of Jin to ask me for it, so that your country will not cost a single soldier, wouldn't it be more in line with your lord's love for the people?" Guo Rong said with a smile.
Gao Xun was stunned, and scolded in his heart: Damn, you nnd, you are really an honest person a fool! The land of Shannan is in your hands, and then let the disobedient Hou ask you for it, if he can ask for a mile of land, he will have a long ability!
Gao Xun was upright at the moment and said, "Your Majesty, why are you deceiving people! I... ”
"Where did I deceive you? Let me ask you, who did you say that in the Tang Dynasty, this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures belonged to? Guo Rong stopped Gao Xun's words.
"This... This naturally belongs to the Central Plains! Gao Xun said honestly. In Gao Xun's view, this is history, and there is nothing to quibble. Anyway, if you want to quibble, I will bite it to the death, this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures was given to us by Shi Jingjiao to the Khitan, that is.
Guo Rong nodded and asked again, "So... What about the Han Dynasty? ”
"This... This is naturally also from the Central Plains! "Don't say that it's the Han Dynasty, even if it is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures also belong to the Central Plains! Yan Guo was in this area back then. Gao Xun is also a cultural person, so he naturally knows this thing.
"Hehe, Lord Gao, since you have admitted that the sixteen states of Yanyun belong to the Han, then I came from the Han Dynasty in the Great Zhou, and I am naturally the lord of Yanyun!" Li Gu laughed.
"This... This... Gao Xun saw sweat on his head, and he suddenly realized that he had been deceived. Why? This "Han" is not the other "Han". Guo Rong, a liar, first asked the Tang Dynasty if the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were from the Central Plains. This must be from the Central Plains, and then, he asked "What about the Han Dynasty", and ordinary people will naturally think that he is referring to the Han Dynasty before and after, referring to the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang. That Gao Xun was right. It's a pity that Gao Xun didn't forget that five years ago, there was still a Han in the Central Plains? Liu Zhiyuan, the big man established by the bastard!
"Your Majesty, the Han that the minister said refers to the Han Gaozu... The Great Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty! Gao Xun replied. Liu Zhiyuan is too tricky, he has only been the emperor for half a year, and he can actually get a temple number of Han Gaozu! It's exactly the same as Liu Bang.
"Oh, the Han I am talking about is also the Great Han Dynasty established by Gaozu. In my hands, my Great Zhou will definitely be like the Han Dynasty back then, sweeping the four and dominating the world! Guo Rong said loudly.
These words were full of hostility, leaving Gao Xun helpless, and he didn't know how to answer. He was angry but helpless, he secretly complained in his heart, he knew that this Guo Rong was so arrogant, how could he set up an ambush in Nanjing, ambush this bastard, and negotiate peace with him? But Gao Xun didn't dare to say anything now, so he could only stand in a daze.
I wanted to sing the high note of loving the people and negotiate with him, but I didn't expect people to ignore him at all. Could it be that this Zhou Jun really wants to have a showdown with my Khitan? Gao Xun secretly speculated in his heart. If, if the Zhou army is like kraft candy pestering my main army, and send his own division in the area of Shangjing, harassing everywhere. That... That would really shake the country's foundation.
"Your Majesty said this, but you must fight to the death with my Khitan? I, the Khitan army, hundreds of thousands, are not afraid of anyone! Gao Xun said. Speaking of which, Gao Xun has no way to lay soft eggs. When he came in just now, he was majestic and high-spirited, and after a few words, he was killed and lost his armor, which is too unusual! Pick yourself up, be tough.
"It's not that we can't talk about it. However, your price is too low, and we don't need to talk about it. Guo Rong said with a smile: "Just like I sold cloth back then, he asked for 2oo wen, and I countered to 15o wen, but he just said that it only cost 199 wen, then... Do I need to continue talking? He didn't have the sincerity to talk about it! ”
Guo Rong was talking while observing Gao Xun attentively. Gao Xun thought for a while with a calm face, and said as if he was quite entangled: "That... Then we will take the area actually controlled by the two armies as the boundary. Gao Xun thought for a moment and added: "This is our bottom line!" ”
"Hahaha... Guo Rong laughed, but stopped talking.
"My master is on an expedition, and the soldiers are bloodless along the way, and they are killed here. This original intention is naturally to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. But Lord Gao came here, but he only returned to the four continents of Yingzhou. There isn't much sincerity in negotiating peace! Li Gu said on the side.
Gao Xun was in a hurry, he had already made the biggest concession, but the Zhou people actually had to make an inch. He said: "The land of Shannan, although it was dedicated by Shi Jingjiao, the lord of Jin, but in order to establish Shi Jingjiao, my Khitan army fought several bloody battles in Taiyuan and other places, with heavy casualties. It's normal for him to dedicate land to my Khitan! Since Shannan already belongs to my Khitan, my Khitan will definitely not give up easily, today the ministers came to the army to negotiate peace, unless I Khitan can't fight, I really don't want to live in misery! Although Gao Xun also knows the word "life is ruined", the Zhou people will definitely not believe it, but it is still necessary to sing it on a high note!
"Forget it, since Lord Gao has come from afar, it is finally a piece of sincerity from the Khitan, you can stay in Zhuozhou for a few days for the time being, let us think about it and reply to you!" Guo Rong waved his hand to let Gao Xun retreat.
"Two Aiqing, what do you think Gao Xun is here for?" Guo Rong asked.
"Calculating the time, General Zhao, the head of the camp on the Northwest Road, should already be near Shangjing. Presumably he made some gains within the Khitan, which made the Khitan people unable to sit still! Li Gu said on the side.
"Well, yesterday there was a scout near Xiangshan, and I saw wolf smoke rising in the direction of Juyong Pass, but it was extinguished in an instant. Maybe it's General Zhao who delivers the news to us again. Wang Pu on the other side said.
"You say, could this be a trap set by the Khitans?" Guo Rong asked.
Why did Wang Pu come up with such an extremely risky strategy as a thousand-mile attack, this is because Wang Pu and the high-level of the Zhou State were worried that their main force would suffer a loss when they confronted the Khitan cavalry head-on, or in other words, they would not be able to occupy a relatively large advantage. The living environment of the Zhou State is bad, if it is a war of "killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred", then there is no need for the Zhou State to fight at all! He himself can't afford such a great attrition! Therefore, the results of Zhao Kuangyin's attack on Beijing will be used as an opportunity for the Zhou army to go north and fight a decisive battle with the Khitan army. Only if Zhao Kuangyin fights beautifully, the Khitan will shake the morale of the army, and the chances of Zhou's victory will become greater.
As for why it has to be a decisive battle. The reason for this is also simple, if the Khitans are just restrained and let them honestly collect their troops back, then the safety of the northern border of the Zhou State will never be guaranteed. Therefore, Guo Rong needed a decisive battle, and the Khitan who fought lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and he no longer had the strength to move southward on a large scale. Guo Rong can also concentrate on dealing with Jiangnan Chu State.
