The prince as a hostage? After listening to Yan Yan's words, Zhao Shuo looked at Yan Yan meaningfully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wan Yan is young, in his twenties, but he is a man of sophistication.

Nodding slightly, Zhao Shuo opened the national letter and read it.

This is the letter of state written by Wanyan Wu Qimai, which roughly means that he hopes that Zhao Shuo will come to the rescue, and the Jin State is willing to follow the example of the Kereh Ministry, hand over military power and diplomatic power, and only retain administrative power.

After reading the national letter, Zhao Shuo looked at Wan Yan again. "His Royal Highness the Prince, what is written in this national book seems to be a little different from what you get."

"Back to the prince, when I left the Jin country, the situation in the Jin country was better than now, and now the situation is becoming more and more crisis, so the conditions naturally have to change, otherwise, wouldn't it be unfair to the prince." Wan Yan replied.

"Get up." Zhao Shuo raised his hand slightly. "Originally, I also wanted to rescue Jin Guo, but the problem is still what I just said, the reason? I can't give the people a reasonable reason, and rushing to send troops is likely to cause a popular uprising. You've probably heard that my uncle's hundreds of thousands of troops are still roaming my territory. They have signed a contract with Mongolia, if I help the Jin State and start a war with the Mongolians, this Song army is likely to take advantage of the opportunity, and when the time comes, let alone help the Jin State, even if I am myself, I may be overthrown. ”

Song Jun borrowed the affairs in Zhao Shuo's territory, and Wan Yan knew about it. But he only heard many things, but he didn't know about the specific situation of Song Jun.

Now listening to Zhao Shuo say this, he had some confidence, but once again lost his confidence in convincing Zhao Shuo.

"Lord, this ......?" Wan Yan Yan looked embarrassed, at this time, he really didn't know what to say.

"What about the Kingdom of Jin! I do want to come to the rescue, but now I can't be an enemy of Mongolia in the open, and you should understand that. Zhao Shuo looked at Yan Yan and motioned for him to sit casually.

After Yan Yan sat down and nodded, Zhao Shuo continued. "As for the letter of state, let's sign it first, so that the Jin country is my territory, and I have a reason to send troops to help. If the Kingdom of Jin is incorporated into my territory, the people will inevitably celebrate with their crowns, and the resistance to sending troops will be much less. ”

When Zhao Shuo spoke, he kept looking at Wan Yan Yan.

Wan Yan Yan was pondering from beginning to end, and after Zhao Shuo finished speaking, he spoke. "The Jin State was incorporated into the Song Dynasty, and the prince sent troops with confidence, but after sending troops, didn't he have to face Mongolia the same? So, is it really okay? ”

After listening to Yan Yan's words, it seemed that he was thinking about Zhao Shuo, but after careful analysis, it was not like this.

Zhao Shuo said that he didn't want to start a war with Mongolia, so he had to annex the Jin State first. But after the annexation of the Jin State, there will be a war with the Mongols, which is not inconsistent.

Wan Yan Kang's current worry is whether it is possible for Zhao Shuo and Mongolia to divide the Jin Kingdom.

"I signed a non-aggression pact with Muto." Zhao Shuo didn't hide it, and said directly. "But the treaty has not yet entered into force. All I have to do is make a time difference. Also, after I sent troops to the Jin Kingdom, the banner was not to attack Mutuo, but to help the Jin Kingdom judge, and our goal was to complete Yan Liang, which I hope you can understand. ”

Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, although Wan Yan Yan was a little dissatisfied, he didn't speak. He knows very well that now Jin is a weak and small country, and weak countries have no diplomacy and no right to speak, and can only be left to the disposal of powerful countries.

"Hey, I know, this may not be fair to Jin Guo." Zhao Shuo sighed. "Well, as compensation, everything will be done according to your country's credentials. The Jin State retains administrative power, Your Majesty, demoted to the rank of Marquis, and other official positions should also be reduced accordingly, but the relevant etiquette can be preserved. ”

Before Yan Yan could speak, Zhao Shuo added. "This is the only thing I can do, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not satisfied, I can't help it."

After Zhao Shuo's words were finished, before Yan Yan could say anything, Mo Qi walked in.

After seeing Yan Yan, Mo Qi was stunned and did not speak.

"Mo Qi, if you have any news, just say it, this is not an outsider." Zhao Shuo said.

"Go back to the prince." Mo Qi bowed. "Wan Yan Liang, the king of Hailing of the Jin Kingdom, continues to advance westward, and has taken Huge City, Jinshan and Huining Mansion, which correspond to Fengzhou, Changchun Prefecture and Huanglong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yan Liang has many generals, and it will not be long before he can take these three cities."

"Wanyan Liang's speed is so fast?" Zhao Shuo frowned. "What about the movements of the Mongol army?"

"Mongolia expressed support for Wan Yan Liang, but the army did not move, but there is news that they gave Wan Yan Liang a lot of war horses and small artillery shells to support." Mo Qi replied.

"Small cannonball support?" Zhao Shuo couldn't believe it, or didn't want to believe it.

The only small cannonballs that can be produced now are he and Da Song, and there are not many small cannonballs purchased by Mutuo, and after so many battles, it stands to reason that they should have been used up a long time ago. Even if it is not used up, this kind of material should be a treasure, but now it is unreasonable to support Wan Yanliang.

"Yes." Mo Qi replied in the affirmative before explaining. "According to the information we have got, all the small cannonballs in the Jin country are in the hands of Wanyan Wu Qimai, and the army that sent troops this time did not carry small cannonballs, but Wanyan Liang had already used this weapon when he was attacking the city and grabbing the land, and the only one who had contact with him and could provide small cannonballs was Mongolia."

"Mutuo doesn't send troops and secretly gives such a big support?" Zhao Suo's brows were twisted together. "What are they trying to do to get access to the sea? Outlet to the sea, access to the sea......"

After muttering a few words, an idea popped into Zhao Shuo's mind. Muto wanted to obtain small cannonballs from the Great Song Dynasty by sea transportation in order to increase military power and prepare for expansion.

If this is the case, with the production speed of the Song Dynasty, once both sides have stored a sufficient number of small cannonballs, it is impossible for Zhao Shuo to jointly attack Zhao Shuo, and Zhao Shuo will not be able to withstand it.

During this time, it seems that we will have to research some new weapons to use. Zhao Shuo wiped his forehead.

"Lord Wang, if that's the case, please send troops quickly." After listening to Mo Qi's words, Wan Yan couldn't sit still.

The army that Jin Guo went to resist was only 200,000 people, and Wan Yan Liang's army was one million, plus Wan Yan Liang still had small cannonballs in his hands, once a full-scale war started, the defenders sent out by Wan Yan Wu Begging Mai would not last long at all.

After Zhao Shuo thought about it for a while, he said to Wan Yan. "In this way, let's first jointly issue a notice to explain that the Jin Kingdom has surrendered to this king, and then this king will send troops to the Jin Kingdom, run directly to the east, and intercept Yan Liang."

After a pause, Zhao Shuo said again. "As for the future, I can't guarantee anything now...... I will do my best to maintain the integrity of the country. ”
