Chapter 6 The mediocre monarch and the ministers plan countermeasures, and the court is busy asking about crimes

But after saying that, Yan Zongwang saw that the prisoners who were released were so humiliated by the Song army, and that he saw the heads of his son and nephew, he was immediately furious, and he wanted to wave his army and send troops overnight to take revenge. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info listened to the next person: "Handsome and slow, there is a sentinel report." ”

Looking at it, it was Guo Yaoshi, and I saw that he led two sentry spies to come and said: "Dashuai, a large number of Song army sailors have been found thirty miles east of Huazhou, and they are all eyeing them there. Wanyan Zongwang was shocked when he heard this, the Dajin army and horses can be said to be galloping on land, and they are not afraid of anyone, but there is almost no sailor, and when the southern invasion of the Yellow River is crossed, there are Liangshan water troops watching from the side, so that Wanyan Zongwang always feels that the thorn is in the back. Now that the retreating army is at the stall, if this naval army comes out to make trouble, I am afraid that the Jin army, which has not yet crossed the river, will not be able to go back.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wanyan Zongwang took a breath of relief, and hurriedly asked the two sentinels: "Who is the banner of the navy?" The two sentinels both said: "It is the military horses of the Song Army and the Navy Division of the Shandong Road before, and there are more than 100 large and small warships." ”

Wanyan Zongwang's face turned pale, and Guo Yaoshi admonished: "Marshal, now is the time to return to the north, don't use the sword lightly, if the Song army comes in by land and water, I am afraid that our army is in danger." Wanyan Zongwang snorted, he also knew that what Guo Yaoshi said was the truth, and his Jin army went deep into the enemy territory all the way, which was indeed extremely dangerous.

After seeing that Yan Zongwang was noncommittal, Guo Yaoshi said: "Why don't you ask the soldiers who have been released first, what words do they have?" Wanyan Zongwang was angry for a while, and he hadn't even listened to the words brought back by the five golden soldiers. When asked, the five of them said all of Sanniang's requirements.

After hearing this, Yan Zongwang was even more furious, and shouted angrily: "What a female thief, you dare to threaten like this!" The wealth women craftsmen are the trophies of our army, how can we return them?! The number of Jin generals Wan Yan Yan's mother came out of the class and said: "The marshal is angry, but she still has more than 3,000 people captured by our army, if she doesn't exchange with her, I'm afraid that after I go back, someone in the court will take the opportunity to attack the marshal." ”

Wanyan Zongwang's anger did not subside, and he said hatefully: "Even if it is exchanged, I have more than 10,000 women and thousands of craftsmen here, one by one, and I can't return them all!" One of the captured Jin soldiers in the number said tremblingly: "Dashuai, the female general of the Song army said that our Jurchen population is small, and she has a large population of the Song Dynasty, if she is not willing to exchange, she will kill all the prisoners." ”

The Jin generals in the tent are all furious, since the Jin State finished fighting the army, whether it is against the Liao State, the Western Xia, or the Song State, it is their Jurchen people who bully people, how can they be so threatened? What's more, this person is still a female general of the Song Kingdom?! At that moment, all the generals were also angry, and they shouted to lead the troops to rescue the captured Jin soldiers.

Guo Yaoshi said again: "Dashuai, the young general has a plan, or he can return the captured soldiers, without sending troops or returning the female craftsmen." Wanyan Zongwang sighed, and hurriedly said happily: "Come quickly." ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "The Song court is weak, this time the peace has been completed, but the Song army of Liangshan still came to intercept our army, and I heard the army and horses of the palace who fled back that the Song court had sent officials to the front of the battle to stop it, and it seems that the Song court did not want to start another war with me." This time to pursue our army, most of the Liangshan female thief acted on her own initiative, if you send an envoy to the Song court to ask, why negotiate peace with me, and send troops and horses to pursue our army, and the Song court will force the female thief to withdraw the troops. ”

After hearing this, Yan Zongwang was overjoyed, patted his head and smiled: "Exactly, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was cowardly, so he was willing to agree to call me Emperor Dajin the nephew emperor and cede Taiyuan and other three places, and he would definitely not dare to order the pursuit of our army." What General Guo said is very true, it must be the female thief who made her own opinion, in this case, you can send an envoy to the Song court to question, teach her to restrain her subordinates, not to pursue our army anymore, but also to teach the Song court to order the female thief to be good and release the prisoners of our army, otherwise the king of Su and the prime minister Zhang Bangchang, who are hostages in our army, will not be able to save their lives, so that the Song court will definitely give in! ”

After the discussion was made, Wanyan Zongwang sent an envoy Wu Xiaomin to the Song court again, to question the Song court, and ask for the captured Jin soldiers, and ordered all the troops to suspend the crossing of the river and camp on the spot to prevent the Song army from raiding.

However, he said that the lord of the Song court and sent Geng Nanzhong and others to get the seed master Dao and others intended to lead the army to pursue the Jin soldiers, and immediately invited Song Qinzong, and said bluntly that the situation of peace was completed, and now it was necessary for the Jin army to withdraw as soon as possible, and there were still hostages in the Jin camp, so they could not be dishonest again. So Qinzong sent a decree and taught Geng Nanzhong to send more than ten officials with the will and the yellow flag to go separately to stop the army of the king of Qin.

I don't want to wait a day later, all the officials came back to pay the order, most of the Qinwang army and horses still respected the emperor's order, did not move, and did not pursue the Jin army, but the army and horses of Shandong Road Fan Town and the Western Army Division and the middle of the division did not respect the order and pursued the Jin people. Moreover, the Shandong Road military horses also fought fiercely with the military horses behind the Jin Army in the south of Huazhou, killing and wounding more than 10,000 Jin troops and capturing thousands of enemies.

When the news came, the main battle faction Li Gang and Huang Shang were naturally thunderous with joy, and immediately asked Emperor Qinzong to order all the armies to pursue together and completely wipe out this Jin army on the south bank of the Yellow River. The Lord and the faction Geng Nanzhong and others were angry and devastated, and asked Emperor Qinzong to issue a decree to severely punish the disrespect of the military horses on the Shandong Road. Of course, Li Gang and the others didn't do it, so the two factions quarreled in the court.

In the end, Qinzong was black-skinned, did not say a word, and left, and the two factions met, so they could only stop arguing, and each played to invite the emperor to meet him, intending to play alone. But Emperor Qinzong did not receive any ministers, but only sulked alone in the imperial study.

In the afternoon, Jin envoy Wu Xiaomin rushed to Kaifeng, Tokyo, and went straight to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites with great momentum, and asked the Ministry of Rites in the court, why did the Great Song Dynasty violate the peace treaty and send military horses to attack the Dajin military horses? The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare and could not reply, so they had to invite Geng Nanzhong.

After Geng Nanzhong arrived, he first appeased the Jin envoy and promised to give a proper explanation to the Dajin Kingdom. Wu Xiaomin proposed that the Song court should severely punish the army and horses of the Shandong Road, and hand over the captured Jin soldiers, send them back to the Jin camp with good food and drink, and compensate 5 million Guan as a pension for the Jin soldiers who died in the battle, and be willing to stop the army. Geng Nanzhong naturally couldn't make the decision to agree to this matter, so he had to come to see Qinzong again.

Geng Nanzhong knelt outside the imperial study for an hour, and finally Qin Zong remembered his ten years of credit for assisting him in the Prince's Mansion, and still let him meet him. After Geng Nanzhong entered the inner Majesty, he said that the Jin envoy Wu Xiaomin came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, and finally said: "Your Majesty, now that the Jin army is about to retreat, the Emperor Taishang will definitely return to Beijing. Now it is not easy for the Jin people to agree to negotiate peace, if our country is in the twilight, I am afraid that when the Jin soldiers come back in the future, no one will believe in it. Your Majesty, at this moment, according to the requirements of the Jin people, first issue an order to severely punish the military horses of the Shandong Road, otherwise the military horses of all walks of life will not respect the king's order, and how will they control the military horses in the future? What is the face of the court? ”

Qinzong was so angry today that he didn't see any ministers, it was precisely because the Shandong Road Army and the Song Army of the Seed Division did not respect the king's order, in his opinion, it didn't matter whether he could defeat the Jin army or not, his will was disobeyed, and he won the battle, which was obviously not to give him face, making him a great disgrace as the emperor. This is to say smaller, to say bigger, in the future, if all these generals with heavy troops do not respect the king's order, his throne may not be guaranteed, after all, Zhao Song Deguo was Chen Qiao's mutiny and yellow robe.

After listening to Geng Nanzhong's words, Qinzong, who had been thinking about how to deal with it, finally made up his mind, and immediately ordered Geng Nanzhong to issue an order to teach the Song army to prepare to surround the Shandong Road army and horses on all sides, and then ordered Hu Lan to bind himself into the court to ask for guilt, and then strictly ordered the Shandong Road Song Army to return to Shandong Road as soon as possible, and ordered the Shandong Road Army to release the Jin army prisoners, and Shandong Road to bear the compensation of 5 million guan compensation for the Jin army. If the Shandong Road army and horses did not agree, Qin Zong viciously ordered: "If you don't agree, you will order all the Song troops to besiege the Shandong Road army and horses together. And those who attack according to the order, those who have meritorious service are promoted to three levels in a row! ”

Geng Nanzhong was overjoyed after receiving the will, and said, "How to deal with that kind of teacher?" His troops and horses also disobeyed the will. Qin Zong said: "The court still needs his soldiers and horses to support, and there is no need to blame him too much, go to a will, teach him to write a letter to ask for guilt, and then the official will be demoted to a level to show punishment." At that moment, Geng Nanzhong received the order and went to handle it.

The next morning, Geng Nanzhong personally gave the order and announced it in the court, and the main battle faction Li Gang and others were dumbfounded, and the court was going to force the rhythm of Hu Lan. Immediately, Li Gang went out and said: "Your Majesty thinks twice, now there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on Shandong Road, and Shandong Road is rich in money and food, if there is a change, it will not benefit the country." Moreover, this trip to Shandong Road was to rescue our women and craftsmen who were kidnapped by the Jinren. Hu Lan and the seed master Dao Shu are here, and they say that this time to pursue the Jin army, not only killed and injured more than 10,000 Jin soldiers, but also rescued more than 1,000 women, and countless wealth. Such a great victory for the country and the people, the court does not praise it, why should it be severely punished? ”

Speaking of this, Geng Nanzhong just replied lightly: "Hu Lan is not respectful of the will!" Li Gang said angrily: "There are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial court, if you watch the Jin people rampaging and plunder them like this, how will you face the people of the world in the future?" Hu Lan's trip is not only without fault, but meritorious! ”

Geng Nanzhong still said a sentence that was not salty or light: "Hu Lan is not respectful!" Li Ganghua's white beard was so angry that he pointed at Geng Nanzhong and shouted angrily: "If you blindly flatter things and trap Zhongliang, aren't you afraid that the world will scold you in the future?" ”

Geng Nanzhong stared at Li Gang, and still said word by word: "Hu Lan is not respectful!" When Li Gang was about to say more, Su Yuanjing secretly pulled Li Gang and said in a low voice: "There is no need to argue, justice is in the hearts of the people, let him go." ”

Hearing this, Li Gang had no choice but to swallow his anger and glared at Geng Nanzhong and the others. Qin Zong didn't say a word from beginning to end, just watched coldly. In the end, the imperial court sent it, and the Mingwen Emperor's list will be announced to the world, and when the Mingwen Emperor's list was seen inside and outside Kaifeng City, the military and the people were all shocked, and everyone thought, what happened to this court? Even if the loyal and good who won the battle still want to be punished like this? Who would dare to die for him Zhao Song?
