Chapter 374: The Empty City Plan
Wu Yong heard Wu Ming's half-joking and half-serious tone, saying that he was almost comparable to Jia Xu, a poisoner in the Three Kingdoms period.
Although Wu Yong didn't say anything on the surface, he was still a little worried in his heart. Wu Yong was thinking: It's over, I'm a little carried away.
This ploy is a brilliant one, but it's a bit vicious. I don't know if the boss will have any bad thoughts about himself.
As the saying goes: Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and since ancient times, he has been shooting the first bird, and it seems that he has been a little arrogant recently.
Even if Wu Song values himself, he can't be too smart in front of the boss, if he is too smart.
I'm afraid the boss will wonder if Wu Song can suppress himself, and it is better to keep a low profile in the future.
Although Wu Ming was jealous of Wu Yong, he still recognized Wu Yong's strategy. Wu Ming released the two thunderbolts in the Yelu brothers.
Let them go and bring a letter to the lord of Liao, and tell them that when the matter is done, their brothers will be able to get together.
If you can't do that, then I'm sorry, you two are going to collect your brother's body. Yelu Zonglei and Yelu Zongdian did not dare to slack off.
Hurry back to Youzhou. He didn't stop at all along the way, and went directly to Yanjing to ask to meet the lord of Liao.
The lord of Liao was in the court at that time, and he gathered the civil and military ministers to discuss state affairs. Ambassador Hemen said:
"The royal brother of Jizhou, Yelu Zonglei and Yelu Zongdian, the two of them, ask to see the lord of the country." After the lord of Liao heard the report, he hurriedly summoned the two into the hall.
As soon as the two brothers entered the main hall, they fell down under the royal steps and wept loudly. The lord of Liao asked puzzledly: "Two Aiqing, why are you two crying?" If there's anything, just tell me, and I'll be sure to call the shots for both of you. ”
After listening to the words of the lord of the country, Yelu Zonglei immediately said: "Emperor Tongzi of the Song Dynasty, sent Wu Ming, the national teacher of the Song Dynasty, to lead the troops to conquer us.
Their horses are so strong that it is difficult for us to resist the enemy. Now our two brothers, as well as the royal brother king, as well as the generals of Danzhou Jizhou, have been captured alive by them.
We first lost Danzhou, and then lost Jizhou. But Song Jun and they were not willing to be satisfied at all, they knew the identity of the royal brother.
I want to exchange my brother for Bazhou, so I let our brother come back, and let our brother give you a word to the king.
They asked you if you were willing to take care of your brotherhood and exchange the land of Bazhou for your own brother Yelude.
If you are not willing to exchange Bazhou for your own brother Yelu, then you are ready to collect the corpse of him and the Liao generals. ”
After hearing this, the lord of the Liao State immediately became angry and said angrily: "This emperor of the Song State is simply too deceitful.
We had a covenant at that time, and they dared to tear up the covenant and send troops to fight against us, did they really think that we were easy to bully?
Now that you want to threaten me with my brother, I won't compromise, brother, it's not that my brother doesn't want to save you.
It's just a matter of the country's face, for the sake of the country, you should sacrifice your life for the sake of the country. But don't worry, I'll avenge you sooner or later. ”
As soon as the words of the lord of the Liao State fell, Chu Jian, the prime minister on the right side of the class, came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, you must not."
No matter what the Royal Brother King says, he is also your own brother. If Your Majesty is unwilling to exchange for Bazhou, then it will be true.
I'm afraid that the people will say that you are greedy for profit, and even the life and death of your own brother are out of the question. For a tyranny.
I don't even want my younger brother, which will make Your Majesty lose the hearts of the people, and the minister thinks that Bazhou is originally their Song State.
Since they want it, let's just give it back to them. You don't have to let the people say that you are unkind and unrighteous for the sake of the gains and losses of a land. ”
Yelu Zonglei saw that someone was talking for him, and immediately followed him and said, "Yes, yes." That's your own brother, my lord. ”
As soon as Yelu Zonglei's words fell, another official came out of the civil official group of the Liao State, and this civil official was Ouyang Shilang.
He knelt on the ground and played: "Long live Lord Lang, you should be filial to the sons of men, and loyal to the ministers of men." A brother who is worthy of love.
The Royal Brother is your own brother, and I hope that Your Majesty will not worry about one city and one place. You must exchange the Royal Brother King back.
The minister has a plan to make the Song army win Bazhou, but secretly suffer a dumb loss, so that they will have a hard time. ”
After hearing the words of this Ouye squire, the lord of the Liao Kingdom was overjoyed and said, "Do you have any good plan to make the Song army deflated?"
Hurry up and say it so that I can hear it, and let me be happy and happy, these Song Jun are too unsophisticated, and they actually threaten me with my younger brother.
To be honest, I really don't want to exchange Bazhou for my brother, but you also said that if I don't change it.
What will my subjects think of me, okay, my own brother is not willing to rescue me, so can we still give you your life?
After all, you can even give up your own brother for the sake of a state, and we people have no blood relationship with you.
Are you going to give up on us for other gains? I'm angry in my heart, I always feel aggrieved, and I'm the head of a country.
was pinched by Song Jun like this, this is a matter of face, you know, it's not just me who is disgraced, but also you, you are also disgraced.
Now Ouyang Shilang, you have a way to disgust Song Jun, then let's follow your method, I'm not happy, and they Song Jun don't think about it. ”
After listening to the words of the lord of the Liao State, Ouyang Shilang said unhurriedly: "Didn't the Song army say that they wanted to dominate the land of the state.
Let's give it to him, but we have to send an envoy to bargain with the Song army first, and this bargaining is only secondary.
Our main purpose is to delay time, and when our envoy negotiates with the Song army, His Majesty will send the army out.
Assist the soldiers and civilians in Bazhou to withdraw to Youzhou, didn't their Song army ask for land, we gave it to them, but what we gave them was an empty city.
Bazhou doesn't leave a single citizen for them, I see that after their Song army enters Bazhou, they eat and drink anything, even if they bring their own grain and grass.
But there are no people in the city, although this Bazhou is returned to the Song army, does the Song army still have the heart to think about other things, they will definitely feel a headache.
If there is no one in a city, then the city is not far from decadence, and the Song army has only two ways.
One is to migrate the people from the Song Dynasty to Bazhou, and the other is to build Bazhou into a military town and let the military families relocate to Bazhou.
In this way, no matter which method the Song army adopted, they would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they would not be at peace, even if they got Bazhou.
They can't be idle. ”
