Chapter 253: Something Else

Since ancient times, when two countries negotiate peace or negotiations, the choice of an envoy of a country is chosen by each country. Although it is said that before the Great Song Dynasty, there was no precedent for other countries to appoint envoys, but after all, it was a minority, and there was never one in the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, for the Great Song Dynasty, who will talk about such a matter as the peace envoy, it is important to say that it is important, and it is not a big deal to say that it is not important.

However, this is only for the Great Song Dynasty, once it rises to the height of the outside world, especially when talking to the Mongols, this nature is naturally different.

Between countries, even if the Great Song Dynasty is on the weak side now, who is the envoy should be decided by the Great Song Dynasty itself, right? The Mongols came to designate the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty for peace talks, if they really responded to the Mongols and spread the word, how could the face of the Great Song Dynasty remain?

Shi Songzhi is not a fool, on the contrary, he is much more shrewd than most of the officials in the Great Song Dynasty who can only fight in the nest. From a small official to the Jinghu system envoy, and then to the current Zuo Prime Minister and Privy Council Privy Council, Shi Songzhi's resume is really not very luxurious compared to Jia Yidao's promotion speed, but he has come up step by step after all.

At the same time, his starting point is also high enough, so his vision should be much farther than the average person.

In this battle of Xiangyang, the reason why the DPRK and China were able to communicate was that in addition to Meng Hui's strong resignation, Shi Songzhi also spent a lot of effort to promote this matter.

Shi Songzhi and Meng Heng should be regarded as the hawks and main battle factions of the Great Song Dynasty compared with the rest of the officials in the Great Song Dynasty who only compromise and appease the outside world.

Because of the limitations of conditions and times, both Shi Songzhi and Meng Heng most of the time focused on the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols, and rarely had the conditions to pay attention to other situations in Mongolia.

Therefore, they naturally would not be like Jia Yidao, knowing that the Mongols were urging a large army to sweep across the Eurasian continent at this time.

However, this did not hide their due judgment, that is, although the Mongols repeatedly sent various offensives against the Great Song Dynasty, they never really used their full strength, and they really did not attach so much importance to the current land and cities of the Great Song Dynasty, as if they had been busy with other things, and the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty was like mowing the grass valley, and after a period of time, when they felt mature, they sent a large army to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to plunder.

In addition to the city, grain, population, tea, ironware, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., were all the objects of the Mongols' plunder, but they disdained the cities and land that were most valued by the Great Song Dynasty.

This is also the main reason why the Sichuan Theater, where the granary of the Great Song Dynasty is located, has always been the main direction of the Mongols' main attack. Because Sichuan is the granary, it has always been rich.

It was precisely because of such thinking that it was expected that the Mongols would not really fight against the Great Song Dynasty because of a Xiangyang city, and because they saw the importance of Xiangyang to the Yangtze River defense line of the Great Song Dynasty, Shi Songzhi and Meng Heng spared no effort to promote the battle of Xiangyang.

But the facts are biased, the Mongols not only really made a big move, but also made a big move, sitting in Jindi overlooking the Song Dynasty, and even personally supervised the south to retaliate against the Great Song Dynasty, followed by Sichuan and Huaidong two road armies, out of the siege of the Great Song Dynasty.

This can no longer be described as a fight, looking at the momentum of the mouth and not spent, this is completely a trend to destroy the Great Song Dynasty.

The failure of the prediction, the unfavorable progress of the war, and the dissatisfaction with him in Zhao Yun's heart also increased with the military intelligence report sent to the dragon case like a snowflake every day, Shi Songzhi knew it very well.

But for this war, Shi Songzhi felt that something strange happened from the beginning, and some should not be.

Although the Great Song Dynasty has always been on the defensive, Shi Songzhi knows that the Mongols know very well that if they want to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, Mongolia will not be very stable in Jindi and Western Xia, even if it is really possible, it will pay an extremely heavy price, and it is even very likely that in the end, it will end up winning the Song Dynasty and losing the Golden Land.

No matter how strict it is, even the Mongols will be dragged to the burial and completely retreat to the steppe.

Therefore, in the past three years, except for the battle between the Song and Mongolia countries, which was a very big battle, they basically stopped fighting, and there was no talk of peace talks...... And so on and so forth.

This is the tacit understanding that has been maintained between the two countries in the past three years, although it has not been explained, but it is well known.

But this time, although it was a rare first move of the sword soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was just after the Mongolian envoys arrived in Lin'an City, this was not a big deal at all in Shi Songzhi's opinion.

Before, it was the Mongols who took the initiative to attack the Great Song Dynasty, when did he talk about the rules? When peace was negotiated, it was not uncommon to plunder the Great Song Dynasty? Who has stipulated that only you are allowed to set fires and not to light lamps?

The Mongols' reaction this time was a little too big and too abnormal.

At first, Shi Songzhi didn't worry too much, he thought that he was just putting on a show to save some of Mongolia's invincible face, but with the start of the war in Sichuan and Huaidong, he finally realized that things were a little out of control.

However, just when he grabbed countless hairs every day, thinking about dealing with the Mongols' war of annihilation, he suddenly stopped fighting. Moreover, he took the initiative to sue for peace, withdrew his troops, and even rarely proposed to return Bianliang and Kaifeng to the Great Song Dynasty, which seemed to have designated an ambassador for peace for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Shi Songzhi's just determined idea was instantly shaken again.

Meng Heng's letter explained everything in detail, and Shi Songzhi understood the cause and effect. But he wouldn't be really naïve to think that just relying on the thunderbolts and the thieves in the Golden Land would be able to make his mouth warm and fart without fart, and he would just leave.

The movement of a million troops is an astronomical amount, not to mention the fact that the Mongols have always been barren.

How can a major military event be a child's play? It's really child's play. Shi Songzhi really can't understand the cards.

However, when he saw that Kou Wen Buhua designated Jia Nidao as the ambassador to negotiate peace, and then thought of what happened to Jia Nidao in Meng Hui's letterhead when he negotiated with Kou Wen Buhua, Shi Songzhi always felt that Kou Wen Buhua must have other intentions this time, and there were very important things that he ignored.

This feeling is very ethereal, and it seems that it is just a little bit closer to catching the truth. But it's just a little bit closer.

What is it exactly?

Shi Songzhi looked up and suddenly saw several figures hurriedly flashing by in the courtyard corridor.
