Chapter 758: Preparing for Withdrawal
"Three generals, Xiao Wang is just an ordinary prince, the position of the Son of Heaven can not be coveted by Xiao Wang. The three generals still don't have to say anything. Zhao Gou's eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who knows if there is a problem here, he is not arrogant enough to think that his prestige is so high that the three commanders of the Jin people want to support themselves as emperors.
"Hmph, it's not a secret, you have to be the emperor if you want to, and you have to be the emperor if you don't want to." Wanyan Zongbi's face changed when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "Now your life is in our hands, I want your life, you can't do anything, if you promise us, we will let you be the emperor." Isn't it a good thing to let you enjoy the glory and wealth? ”
"The three generals, even if they kill Xiao Wang, there is no way to agree to this kind of betrayal of the temple." Zhao Gou smiled bitterly: "Not to mention the low status of Xiao Wang, this throne will not reach Xiao Wang's head anyway, there is still a King Yun in front of Xiao Wang, besides, if you let Xiao Wang be this emperor, I'm afraid Xiao Wang doesn't have any rights in his hands!" Xiao Wang is just a pawn in your hands. Is that right? ”
"At least the prince can be this emperor, isn't it?" Wanyan Zongwang said with a smile: "As long as you become the emperor, in the whole north, the prince is the most powerful person, what the prince said is right, as for the king of Yun, hehe, I'm afraid that when we go back, we will be destroyed, and then the entire north will be the prince's, prince, what do you say?" ”
"If you want to destroy King Yun, I'm afraid you still have to be careful of Li Jing!" King Kang Zhao Gou shook his head with a smile and said: "The world is so big, now only Li Jing and you are the enemies of my Great Song Dynasty, you let me be the emperor, I'm afraid you want to split the Central Plains, so that you can break it one by one!" ”
"You're smart." Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said: "However, don't worry, even if you are the emperor, the world can be regarded as clear, if you want to control the Central Plains, you Han people must be used, so before we solve Li Jing and Emperor Song, you are safe." If you don't get it right, you can still take the opportunity to master more, or even not have a chance to regain control of the country and defeat us in the end. "Anyway, Wanyan Zongwang gave him a big pie.
Zhao Gou's eyes rolled, he thought for a while, and said: "I am a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to betray the imperial court, this time Xiao Wang came, mainly from peace talks, as long as the marshal is willing to withdraw the army, the Great Song is willing to pay a certain price." ”
"Three thousand stones of grain and grass will do." Wanyan Zonghan thought about it and said.
"Only three thousand stones?" Zhao Gou's face was stunned, not that he asked too much, but that he wanted less, only three thousand stones, I am afraid that he could only let the Jin people cross the Yellow River! It's almost impossible to go back to Youzhou. But soon, he understood why Wanyan Zongwang and the others only asked for 3,000 stones of grain and grass, not because of anything else, but because of himself.
He retired the Jin people with 3,000 stone of grain and grass, thinking that his prestige in the court would increase a lot, how could Zhao Huan let go of himself at that time, the Jin people forced themselves to leave Bianjing, go to Hebei, be controlled by these Jin people, and be a puppet emperor. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "The Jin army came from afar, the journey was hard, how can three thousand stones repay the allies for helping to resist Li Jing's hardship, this dynasty is willing to send 30,000 stones of grain and grass and 1,000 taels of gold to repay the three marshals who came all the way to support this dynasty." ”
Zhao Gou smiled bitterly in his heart. If Zhao Ji was in power, Jin Ren would definitely agree to this kind of request, but Zhao Huan is different, the more credit he makes, the more suspicion he has, it is better to say more about the number, after returning to the court, even if he is criticized, it is better than losing his life.
"Okay, since the prince said so, then the general will wait for the good news from the prince." Wanyan Zongwang glanced at Zhao Gou deeply, and finally patted his thigh and said, "As soon as the grain and grass arrive, we will withdraw immediately." ”
Zhao Gou hesitated for a while, but he didn't expect Yan Zongwang to answer so refreshingly, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded, and said: "Xiao Wang, I'll go back and report to the Son of Heaven, and send grain, grass, gold and other rewards as soon as possible." Winter has come, and it will allow the people of the world to have a good year. ”
"Yes, Your Highness, please." Wanyan Zongwang still had a smile on his face, stood up, and Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi personally sent Zhao Gou out of the camp, and Zhang Bangchang, who came out together, saw it clearly, and was even more surprised in his heart, the treatment he got in the big tent on one side was not very good, as the losing party, Zhao Gou, the hostage, actually got such a good treatment, but it was surprising.
"How could you promise 30,000 stone of grain, I remember that there is probably not enough food in Bianjing City! Didn't you hurt Zhao Gou like this? Wan Yan Zonghan didn't expect Wan Yan Zongwang to change his mind.
"Although we are the victorious side, but I saw a trace of disdain in Zhao Gou's gaze, he is still so high-minded, he doesn't look down on barbarians like us, I can think clearly, deal with such a person, don't think of other ways, only if you subdue him, they will naturally obey us." Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said.
"You are ready to continue the attack, it's not that I don't want to attack, there is a lot of snow, it is not a good decision to attack at this time, even if it is cavalry, you can't attack at this time." Wanyan Zongbi shook his head and said. There was still a hint of worry between his eyebrows, not only because the timing of the attack was wrong, but more importantly, Wanyan Zongwang's body was not proper at this time, and he also needed to recuperate.
"Naturally, this is not the time to attack, Li Jing and his hundreds of thousands of righteous troops are sharpening their knives, ready to use us to make a knife and make his reputation, so at this time we can only leave temporarily, and wait until next year when he does other things before he can go south to invade the Song Dynasty, I believe that at that time, we will definitely be able to enter the prosperous Bianjing City." Wanyan Zongwang shook his head, Li Jing and hundreds of thousands of righteous troops gathered together, it was not the best time to attack, it was better to wait for Li Jing to withdraw the army, and then attack, only after the fist was withdrawn, and then it could be more powerful.
"Yes, as long as we withdraw the army, Li Jing will definitely withdraw the army, he came to provoke us on the one hand, and more importantly, it is these hundreds of thousands of troops, he needs these hundreds of thousands of troops, and when he arrives next year, his soldiers and horses will either be dragged in the area of Bashu and Jingxiang, or they will be held back by the Western Xia people, and at that time, it will be the best time for us to attack Bianjing. Without him as a-stirrger, we'd be a lot easier. Wanyan Zonghan also nodded and said. With Li Jing and his cavalry, it is almost impossible for the Jin people to win easily, so it is better to withdraw the army temporarily and confuse Li Jing.
