Chapter Eighty-Five: Heads-up or Group Fight (Crying Blood for Collection!) )
The information was taken by a small yellow door, Zhao Ji didn't care much at first, but after he casually opened the folded paper, his eyes widened, and the expression on his face kept changing, and then even the hand holding the paper couldn't help but tremble a little. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ministers were a little stunned for a moment, exchanging puzzled glances with each other, I don't know what kind of information made the officials so excited?
Could it be that this Lin Chong really has such a means to reach the sky, and even the secret of the Liao State is known so clearly?
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Ji finally read back and forth word by word three times, and then said with a trill: "Lin Aiqing, there is no joke in front of you, is what this information said true?" ”
Lin Chong said: "The minister does not dare to guarantee the accuracy of ten percent, but he dares to guarantee the accuracy of at least eighty percent, especially in the battle of Hubu Dagang two years ago, 20,000 Jurchens broke the Liao army of 700,000, the Liao army suffered heavy casualties, and it is absolutely not wrong to be captured at least more than 100,000!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, all the people opened their mouths wide, their jaws fell to the ground, and after half a ring, Zhao Ji ordered the little yellow gate to read the information handed by Lin Chong, and the ministers were completely petrified.
How is this possible?
For a long time, the Liao State was extremely powerful in the impression of the Song people, and now when they suddenly heard these news, everyone's first reaction was to disbelieve it at all.
"What are you kidding? The 700,000 troops of the Liao State will not be able to defeat the 20,000 Jurchen barbarians, how is this possible! ”
Wei Boshu was the first to jump out to refute, and then several other Cai Jing's henchmen also laughed together, saying that Lin Chong didn't have a brain.
Lin Chong sneered: "A bunch of garbage! Is it true, isn't this an envoy from the Liao State who has just come from the Liao State? Shall we call him over and send someone to trick him?
I've thought about the rhetoric, just say that they have a minister in Liao who wants to rebel against Liao and attach to the Song Dynasty, and these news has come, as long as our people act like a little bit, I'm not afraid that he won't be fooled! ”
Zhao Ji is also suspicious, he has long heard Tong Guan's confidant Zhao Liangsi say how the emperor of Liao is mediocre and tyrannical, how corrupt the politics of Liao are, how the people are poor, and also said that the women in the northeast of Liao are really rising.
But he couldn't believe that the Jurchens would be so strong, and the Liao State would suddenly become so weak, 20,000 defeated 700,000, which was incredible.
But since Lin Chong is so sure, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
"Gao Qing, in this case, you can go to the Wende Hall to deceive the Liao envoy."
Among all the ministers, Zhao Ji still trusts Gao Ji the most, not only because Gao Ji is the most well-behaved and clever, and can please Zhao Ji the most; The more important reason is that Gao Yu has always been neutral, and no one in Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Liang Shicheng will help anyone.
Moreover, Gao Yu is also very principled in doing things, that is, he only runs private affairs but never forms a party, and almost never interacts with other ministers or forbidden army generals;
What's more, he deliberately indulged his godson Gao Muen to do all the bad things of bullying men and women in Bianjing, so that the people of Bianjing hated him, so Zhao Ji became more and more interested in Gao Yu.
Gao Yu went, and it didn't take long for him to trot all the way back, and said with a smile on his face: "Go back to the official's house, and come out!"
More than eighty percent of the information obtained by Lin Wuyi is true, two years ago, in the battle of Hubu Dagang, the Jurchens really defeated the 700,000 army of the Liao State with only 20,000 people!
However, the Liao envoy emphasized that the Jurchens could win, in fact, it was all due to luck.
He said that if it weren't for the Liao army's vanguard and deputy commander of the imperial camp, Yelu Zhangnu, who led his troops to defect to Shangjing, and planned to meet Yelu Chun to stand on his own, and the Liao Emperor had no intention of retreating halfway through the re-battle, and the Jurchens would not have won at all;
And he also said that the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers did not really defeat the 700,000 Liao soldiers, but only defeated the 100,000 Liao army by sneak attack. ”
Including Zhao Ji, everyone exploded at once, and the long-term impression of the incomparably powerful Liao State collapsed, Cai You was the first to jump out and say: "Haha, it turns out that the Liao State has become so vulnerable, and now it dares to threaten our Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Wang Hao also said: "Qiqi official, since the Liao State is already so weak, then why should we be afraid of him? ”
Li Bangyan also said: "Now I'm afraid that they are afraid of us!" In this case, we can naturally ignore the peace of the Western thief! ”
Zhao Ji was also very happy, nodded again and again and said yes, Cai Jing was nervous, and hurriedly emphasized that the Liao State was a big country in the end, although the Jurchens defeated the 700,000 Liao army by luck, but as long as the Liao Emperor calmed down the domestic rebellion and stabilized the situation, the Jurchens would be pacified soon, so don't despise Liao too much, it's better not to offend Liao.
Then the two sides quarreled again.
At this time, Gao Yu interjected and said that the Liao envoy Yelu Hongming strongly asked to meet the official's family, and Zhao Ji had confidence at this time, and wanted to hear what else he had to say, so he agreed.
There are outsiders here, and their own people naturally can't quarrel anymore, so everyone listened to what Yelu Hongming said first, but Yelu Hongming's attitude was surprisingly tough after he came in.
What is it that although the Liao State made the Jurchens take advantage of the internal rebellion, now that the rebellion has been quelled, the Jurchen barbarians will be pacified in the near future;
Moreover, although the northern part of the Liao State lost a lot of troops, there were still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the southern border of the Liao State.
Therefore, if the Great Song Dynasty insists on attacking Great Xia, the Great Liao will definitely not sit idly by, please The Great Song Dynasty must consider the consequences;
At the same time, he also strongly demanded that the Great Song Dynasty hand over Lin Chong, the murderer of the Liao envoy, otherwise the Liao State would definitely attack the Song Dynasty at all costs to seek justice!
it!
Lin Chong was furious, he had never seen such a brazen person, obviously he was no longer able to bluff to scare Da Song, and now he dared to be so arrogant after being exposed by himself.
And what kind of hatred and resentment, you still have to hold on to Lao Tzu!
However, before Lin Chong could speak, Cai Jing's group of henchmen stood up and agreed, and Cai You, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan and other Tong Guan also said at the same time that they should not complain about Xia Liao because of Lin Chong alone.
Otherwise, although the Great Song Dynasty was not afraid of the Liao State, at this time, Tong Shumi's war in Western Xia was at a critical juncture, and if the Liao State was attracted to attack, the battle to destroy Xia would definitely be affected.
Lin Chong sneered in his heart, it is really a group of traitors, he just took out the information, which can be regarded as a great favor on your side, but in the blink of an eye, you are going to take revenge on the past and kill me.
However, Zhao Ji is still a little affectionate, and as an emperor, he also wants to save face, how can he be easily threatened, and now he is not very afraid of Liao, and even some despise Liao.
So Zhao Ji snorted and said coldly: "Liao envoy, Lin Wuyi is my direct and deputy commander of all classes, my personal guard!"
If I can't even protect the people around me, won't my prestige be ruined? Don't mention this matter again, I will never hand Lin Wuyi over to you! ”
Yelu Hongming gritted his teeth and said: "Since Your Majesty's attitude is so resolute, then both sides will take a step back, and we will no longer ask the Great Song Dynasty to hand over Lin Chong to us, but this revenge must be avenged!"
Since Lin Chong killed one of our Da Liao and three of us Da Xia, then we Da Liao and Da Xia each sent one person and three people, and the four of them will find Lin Chong to duel together, no matter whether they win or lose, we will no longer pursue this matter! ”
