Chapter 748: The Rift Reappears

At the same time that the Jin soldiers threw a large number of leaflets into the capital, the 10,000 Song troops also began to collect the leaflets, going door to door to collect the leaflets spread by the Jin soldiers to eliminate the bad effects, and at the same time, 8,000 soldiers also rushed to the city and entered a defensive state, and 320 bed crossbows began to be fired vigorously to destroy the enemy's speculative planes.

Li Yanqing also rushed to the north of the city under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, inside the city tower, a soldier lit a lantern and illuminated the room of the city tower, Liu Jian handed a leaflet to Li Yanqing, "Very interesting propaganda, let's take a look!" ”

Li Yanqing took the flyer and read it, and said with a slight smile: "Jin people think too highly of me, kill me alone, the world will be peaceful from now on, I can't afford it!" ”

"That's nonsense, don't pay attention to it, the key is the last paragraph, do you see the clues?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Obviously, the Jin soldiers can't support it, Wang Gui burned down the Liyang warehouse last night, shaking the foundation of the Jin soldiers, the Jin soldiers should have the intention of retreating, so there will be bullshit remarks that 'diplomacy is not feasible without breaking the army', looking for a step for himself!" ”

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Liu Jian lowered his voice and said, "I think this is the Jin people secretly delivering news to some forces in the imperial court. ”

Li Yanqing frowned slightly, of course he knew who Liu Jian was referring to some of the forces, the lord and faction of the imperial court were very powerful, judging from the effect of the leaflets, it really did not have much significance to ordinary people, but the lord and faction did have an impact.

At this moment, there was a soldier outside the city tower who reported, "Qi Yu is the capital, Li Xianggong urgently asks to see you!" ”

This is Li Gang coming, and Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Please come to the city with Li Xianggong." ”

He said to the two soldiers next to him: "Go and inform General Yang to continue to collect leaflets and try to prevent this matter from spreading." ”

"Obey!"

The two pro-soldiers saluted and hurriedly went, Li Yanqing walked out of the city tower, it was early in the morning, the sky was almost dawn, in the hazy morning light, I saw Li Gang follow the two soldiers and walk quickly to this side.

"Li Dutong, the situation is a little bad!" Li Gang stepped forward and said urgently.

"What happened?"

"I just got the news that the official family has issued an order to order Ma Zheng to go to Jinying to contact Jin Bing."

Li Yanqing was taken aback, an official went out of the city, and he didn't know anything, what was going on?

"What the hell is going on?" Li Yanqing asked urgently.

About an hour ago, Bai Shizhong, Wu Min, Li Bangyan, and Zhang Bangchang jointly went to see the official family and submitted a petition from 100 officials, and more than seventy percent of the officials signed the petition, and they finally persuaded the official family to negotiate peace with Jin Bing.

Li Yanqing didn't expect the Lord and the faction to be so fast, although they had been preparing for a long time, but it was obvious that the Jin people's leaflets had played a huge catalytic role, but Li Yanqing was more concerned about the officials going out of the city at this time, and he asked: "Li Xianggong just said that Ma Zheng has already left the city?" ”

"That's what I got the news, but I don't know the specifics."

Li Yanqing turned to Liu Jian and said: "You go and check this matter to see if anyone has opened the city without authorization and released people, if there is a problem, I suspect that it is from the east city and the south city." ”

"Let's go!"

Liu Jian turned over and got on his horse and urged the horse to run towards Dongcheng.

Li Yanqing said to Li Gang again: "Li Xiangguo had better go to see the official family now, you tell the official family that General Wang Gui succeeded in the sneak attack on Liyang Cang the night before yesterday and burned at least one million loads of forage, and the Jin soldiers can no longer support it, so there is a hint of peace, we must not be fooled!" ”

This news made Li Gang both surprised and worried, and he hurriedly said: "I'll go to see the official's house!" ”

.......

Li Yanqing soon got a report that the problem was in the New Song Gate in the east, and the New Northern Army stationed at the New Song Gate released Ma Zheng and several retinues out of the city without authorization, which made Li Yanqing extremely angry, and he immediately urged the horse to rush to the New Song Gate.

The New Taipei Army is a new army formed at the suggestion of Li Yanqing, with a total of 30,000 troops, commanded by Dong Ping, Xu Ning and Zhang Qing.

However, after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, on the one hand, he reused Li Yanqing, but on the other hand, he also restrained Li Yanqing's military power, the most obvious being to eliminate Li Yanqing's influence on the New Northern Army, and Zhao Huan promoted Dong Ping to the deputy commander, so that Dong Ping could also report directly to the Son of Heaven.

The army on duty at the New Song Gate today is Dong Ping's 3,000 directly subordinate troops, and Li Yanqing just arrived at the New Song Gate and saw Dong Ping at the city gate.

"General Dong!"

Dong Ping was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Yanqing, Dong Ping seemed to know that Li Yanqing was coming, stepped forward and saluted on the horse, and said with a faint smile: "Are all all here to inspect Dongcheng?" ”

"I heard that someone is out of town, so I'm here to check it out!" Li Yanqing got straight to the point.

Dong Ping nodded, "It's someone who went out of the city, and it's Honglu Shaoqing Ma Zheng, I let him out." ”

"Is it General Dong's personal order to open the city?"

"Exactly!"

Li Yanqing's face immediately became gloomy, and he said coldly: "A month ago, I personally ordered that the city gate was not allowed to be opened, and if there were special circumstances, I must obtain my consent before I could be released, why can't my military order be carried out when it arrives at General Dong?" Is General Dong flouting my authority? ”

"The last general doesn't dare, the reason why I let Ma Zheng out of the city is because Ma Shaoqing has a holy decree and a gold medal issued by the official family to go out of the city, although Li Dutong's military order is like a mountain, I don't dare to disobey, but compared to the imperial power of the official family, it is still a little worse, if Li Dutong must press the military order on the imperial power, then there is nothing to say about the humble position!"

Li Yanqing sneered, "General Dong is very good at talking, and he directly uses imperial power to suppress me, but as I said before, if there are special circumstances, you must get my consent before you can be released, and the Holy Decree and the Son of Heaven Gold Medal are special circumstances, why don't you report to me?" ”

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and the lowly position could only be subordinate, if everyone thought that the lowly behavior was improper, they could directly impeach the official, and the lowly position was willing to accept any punishment!"

After speaking, Dong Ping saluted Li Yanqing with a fist, turned around and urged Ma Yang to leave.

Dong Ping's deputy commander was directly appointed by the Son of Heaven, not by Li Yanqing, who only had the right to recommend punishment, but did not have the right to remove him from his post for investigation and punishment.

Li Yanqing looked at Dong Ping with gloomy eyes, a fire in Liyangcang destroyed the will of the Jin soldiers to continue to attack Tokyo, but a leaflet also tore the tacit understanding between the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, and there were also smart people in the Jin camp!

........

After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, the first thing was to publicly rehabilitate the Fan Dang case, and named the original Xiangguo Fan Zhixu as the envoy of the Shaanxi Five-Way Economic Strategy, and the officials implicated in the Fan Dang case were all reinstated, and at the same time, they also publicly executed Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi, the initiators of the Lianjin extermination of Liao, and dismissed Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Gao Yu and Cai Yu from the post of Xiangguo, but the former Dengzhou soldiers and horses who negotiated an alliance with the Jin State on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty were not affected, and he still served as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Although Ma Zheng was not held responsible, it did not mean that his life was better, before dawn, Ma Zheng received a hot task that no one wanted to take over, and Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, ordered him to go to Jinying on behalf of the imperial court to contact Jinren to test whether the two sides could negotiate peace.

Of course, this is also related to Ma Zheng's long-term tenure as a special envoy to Jinguo, he can speak fluent Jurchen and knows many high-level and major generals of Jinguo.

As soon as the morning dawned, Ma Zheng, who was in a worried mood, finally appeared outside the Jin Bing camp, in fact, he was still three miles away from the Jin Bing camp, and he was seized by the Jin Bing outpost and escorted him to the camp.

In the big tent, Wan Yan Xian was also drinking a bowl of ginseng tea, and at this time, a soldier reported in front of the tent, "Qi Yu Dashuai, there is a Song Dynasty official outside the camp, saying that he came to the Jin camp to discuss by order." ”

Wan Yan Xian was also stunned at first, and then laughed, he only threw the leaflet last night, and as soon as it was dawn, did the Song Dynasty send a minister? This speed was really beyond his expectations, and it can be seen from this that the Song Dynasty's court was not an ordinary eagerness!

"Who's coming?" Wan Yan Xian also asked.

"It's Ma Zheng, the former envoy to Jin."

It turned out to be him, and Wan Yan Xian immediately ordered: "Take it to the side tent and wait, and then meet him when I have time." ”

The court of the Song Dynasty was so anxious, Wan Yan Xian was not in a hurry, he needed to dry Ma Zheng first, give him a dismount, and then meet him.

Although he is now facing the threat of cutting off the forage, and is eager to lead the army back to Hebei, he must not show his true intentions, and must take advantage of the Song Dynasty's eagerness to negotiate peace in order to maximize benefits.
