Section 246 Break the covenant between the monarch and the minister

Bo Xilai was carried to persuade the emperor to go.

He knew that the only bargaining chip now was the reinforcements from the Northern Plains, and the reinforcements from the Northern Plains came from afar, and they could be broken by the field battle on the Eastern Xia Halfway. He knew some about the situation, and he also understood the situation in Dongxia, plus the emperor's trust, he could talk to the emperor well, and then went in alone.

But he was still a step too late.

In the Eastern Summer Camp, Zhao Guo had already sent someone to send Zhu Zhang's head.

The shape shì has changed dramatically.

To discuss and not to negotiate peace?

After he scolded the generals, blaming them for not making arrangements, not knowing themselves and their opponents, and making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, causing a soldier to die in an unexpected battle, but he was thinking about this problem.

Originally, he expected a decisive battle with Jingkang, fearing that he would lose 50,000 troops, but now the situation is gradually reversing, and Jingkang's army has not much food. Capturing the emperor and surrendering hundreds of thousands of Central Plains troops was also a temptation for him.

He'll have to think about it.

Dia Bird was measuring, and the Emperor was talking to Xiong Xilai.

At the moment of life and death, Xiong Xilai couldn't hide it, for fear of angering the emperor, for fear of saying it too truthfully, and discussed with the emperor in many aspects.

The emperor sometimes grabbed his hands, sometimes opened his eyes angrily.

In the end, he said: "Actually, I have already wanted to negotiate peace before, but if I fight a battle and win a battle, at least I will not be too coercive with interests." ”

He also felt a little self-pitying.

The matter was originally provoked by him, of course, this is the surface, in fact, he also knows that Dia Bird has this strength, and he deliberately showed weakness and angered him at the beginning.

But it's too late to regret it.

The losses have been incurred, but the hard work has been fruitless, and it seems that it is also disgraceful to return to the Central Plains.

Xiong Xilai begged: "If you want to negotiate peace, you must hurry, you can't delay it any longer, Your Majesty, you have to wait for the army of the Northern Plains to arrive and then fight together, so the army died down, and the Eastern Xia army fought alone for two days, have you ever imagined that in these two days, Diao can draw troops and defeat the army of the Northern Plain." Once the reinforcements from the Northern Plains have been routed and the news comes back, all our reliance will be gone. ”

He asked, "If you can't rush out, what if you run out of food?" ”

There seemed to be a thunderclap in the night.

The Emperor's eyes widened suddenly in the light, he was a wise man, but he overestimated his own strength, but he did not trust his own ministers.

Xiong Xilai is enough to win his trust, to be able to speak to his heart, and the shape is getting worse and worse, he also feels something, and this is like sobering up all of a sudden.

The emperor decided: "As soon as the morning dawns, he will agree to negotiate peace." ”

Xiong Xilai shook his head.

The Emperor replied, "You won't let me go now." ”

Xiong Xi said: "Not only do you go now, but you also have to ask to see the imperial sister Chitose first, don't be stingy with thousands of treasures of gold, silver and jewelry, two days have passed, according to the horse journey of the Eastern Xia army, what will happen to the army in the Northern Plains, Your Majesty knows nothing." He also said, "Dia Bird prides himself on believing his word, and as long as he says it, he will usually not repent, and besides, he is too ambitious, and he has the name of a prince and a minister with you, and he must be afraid of the public opinion of the world." ”

The Emperor asked him, "Will he be afraid of any of this?" ”

Xiong Xilai said softly: "It is precisely because he cares about these that he is terrible, and his army is terrible." Why can't our army fight for a long time? The soldiers did not have the faith of the soldiers under his command. Where the faith of the soldiers under his command comes from, it comes from his own righteousness. ”

The Emperor said, "Yes." ”

However, the emperor understood that it was because the soldiers did not believe in Buddhism.

Xiong Xilai nodded.

The emperor made up his mind and said, "Someone is coming, ......"

Xiong Xilai interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, have you thought about how the envoy will deal with it if Dia Niao doesn't want to negotiate peace, and you won't want to do it first?" ”

The Emperor asked sincerely, "Yes." ”

Xiong Xi said: "Catch his weakness." ”

The emperor hurriedly asked, "What weakness?" ”

Xiong Xi said: "It's his scruples." He and His Majesty have the name of a monarch and a minister. ”

The Emperor was puzzled.

Xiong Xilai explained: "His Majesty asked him to be the emperor, contact him with the covenant of the monarch and ministers, and use this in exchange for peace. ”

The emperor smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically: "This kind of virtual thing? ”

Xiong Xilai whispered, "He cares." With this thing, he can not be subordinate, from then on, he has no scruples, he can fight against the emperor, and there is no moral baggage, in the eyes of ordinary heroes, this step is okay or not, but for Dia Bird, he cares. Trade this for peace. Otherwise, he captured our monarchs and ministers, and in the name of the regent, he controlled us to go south, and after the overall situation was stable, let His Majesty let ...... It's also a pathway. Majesty is still the lighter of the two, choose the former. As long as His Majesty can go back, hundreds of thousands of troops are still there, there is still time, and he can regain his strength when he goes back. ”

The emperor was a little creepy.

There was a terrible silence.

The emperor suddenly wept and said: "I have taken the humiliation on myself, and I will also be able to lose the Northern Plain that I got from my father, and I will definitely return this shame." When I returned to the Central Plains, I accumulated grain and grass and reorganized the whole country...... In the future, I will compete with him. ”
