The peace talks, said to be peace talks, were actually just Jurchen conditions, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty nodded their heads according to the acceptance. As a noble prince, when did Zhao Kai have the experience of peace talks? This time, he was sent to the Zhao official family for peace talks, and it was clear that the official family wanted to borrow the hands of the Jurchens to get rid of him Zhao Kai. However, Zhao Kai is not an incompetent person like Zhao Huan after all, although he is panicked in his heart, he can settle down after all. It seems dangerous to negotiate peace with Jinguo, but there are many opportunities. This time, not only do you have to return to Bianliang alive and well, but also make the eldest brother Zhao Huan disgusted, if you can complete the task smoothly this time and send away the Jurchens, then this credit will be counted on his head Zhao Kai, and when the time comes, let people publicize it well, afraid that they will not be able to accept the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty?

A pair of brothers, a peace talk, but each with their own scheming, everywhere hidden conspiracies. Accompanied by Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, the three of them came to the city along the city wall, and looked from afar, only to see the Jin State military camp with flags covering the sun, and the momentum was magnificent, which could scare Zhao Kai enough, this was the first time to see so many alien soldiers and horses. Zhao Kai is not very bold, Zhang Bangchang is even less bold, as for Li Bangyan, not to mention, the Great Song Dynasty found such three people to be in charge of peace talks, which can be regarded as a miracle. Before he arrived at the barracks, Zhao Kai began to mumble in his heart, "Zhang Shilang, is Wanyan Zongwang that Jurchen barbarian vicious?" ”

Zhang Bangchang's heart is up and down, listening to Zhao Kai's question, he is a little afraid, he is not afraid of the Jurchens, but afraid that His Royal Highness King Yun will temporarily retreat, so wouldn't he Zhang Bangchang go in vain. The camp of the Jin Kingdom was not far away, and Zhang Bangchang hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile. "Your Highness need not worry. The brute just wanted more money. Don't dare to do what we do, Bianliang City has thick walls, and tens of thousands of troops are stationed there, and the Jurchens still have to guard against the soldiers and horses of the Qin kings from all over the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhang Bangchang said these words, which is just to forgive Zhao Kai's heart, but the words are not unreasonable. Bianliang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and if the soldiers and horses of King Qin of the Great Song Dynasty really gather here, more than 50,000 soldiers of the Jin Kingdom will really fall into a siege. Wanyan Zongwang was not panicked at all, and he also got the fact that the soldiers and horses of King Qin did not move, at least now Liu Che and Song Jiang's tens of thousands of troops have no signs of moving westward, if these soldiers and horses of King Qin have moved, there is no need for the Dingguo army to come, and Wanyan Zongwang will have to consider whether to withdraw to the north first, at least it must be stationed in Chenqiao Town in the north to be safe. To calm down, the three of them came to the camp of the Jin Kingdom with apprehension. As soon as I entered the camp, I was shocked by the scene in the camp. I saw a small road in the middle of the camp. There are more than 100 people standing on both sides of the road, the weather in early spring is still very cold, the wind is strong, but these knife and axe hands are all open-chested and exposed, the big axe is carried on the shoulder, the eyes are round, full of murderous atmosphere. Seeing this scene, Zhang Bangchang swallowed his saliva dryly, and Zhao Kai was even more unbearable, his neck shrunk, and he almost ran away. On the contrary, Li Bangyan has become the calmest person, and he has more or less seen the chaotic people in Suzhou Mansion, and he can be regarded as having fought a war when he led the troops to assemble in Suzhou Mansion, and he still knows a little about these dramas. The barbarians are going to get off the horse, if they are really frightened, the Jurchens behind can open their mouths. A general of the Jin Kingdom strode over with a sword, came to the front, and asked in a cold voice in a condescending tone, "King Zhao Kai?" Hehe, my king has been waiting for you for a long time, please. ”

The Jurchens are such a people, they revere the strong and despise the cowardly, and people like Zhao Kai, who are as timid as a mouse, will only despise them, but will not have the slightest respect. Zhao Kai didn't have the heart to think about how Yan Zongwang knew that he would come, looking at this fierce and vicious general of the Jin Kingdom, he nodded instinctively, and Zhao Kai's reaction fell into the eyes of Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, and he was really disappointed. His Royal Highness King Yun, His Royal Highness King Yun, are you frightened and confused, you are the noble prince of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you be led by the nose by a Jurchen general, with the identity of His Royal Highness King Yun, how can you be greeted by someone with the status of Wanyan Gao or Wanyan Zongbi, what people say, how to talk about the next peace talks? Zhao Kai didn't know how bad his reaction was just now, but Zhang Bangchang couldn't say it yet, so the three of them followed the general of the Jin Kingdom into a big tent with three expressions of disgrace.

In the big tent, it was empty, there were only three angels of the Great Song Dynasty peace talks, a table in the tent, and nothing else, and the people of the Jin Kingdom were ruthless enough not to even give a glass of water. Zhang Bangchang felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, even if the Jurchens deliberately delayed to consume the energy of the three of them, they shouldn't even understand the most basic etiquette. I couldn't figure it out in my heart, confessed, got up and came to the door of the big tent, who knew that as soon as I opened the curtain of the big tent, there were two steel knives on my neck, as soon as I felt the coldness, Zhang Bangchang shivered, and said with a smile, "Several, we are waiting to discuss important matters with the king, somehow, how can we be treated like this?" ”

Sent to the vicinity of the big tent, most of them listened to the Chinese dialect, a Jin soldier pushed Zhang Bangchang, raised his chin and snorted, "What are you talking about, the king has an order that the camp is discussing military affairs, military aircraft affairs, how can it be leaked, in order to avoid a few people from being burned, please stay in the tent for a while." When the time comes, the king will summon you. ”

Zhang Bangchang was pushed back to the big tent, and in desperation, he could only jump to his feet and scold his mother. At this moment, even Li Bangyan was dumbfounded, what are the Jurchen barbarians going to do? Isn't it a peace talk, why did they detain them, the Jurchens don't want gold and silver treasures?

Of course, Zhang Bangchang and the others didn't understand what Wanyan Zongwang was thinking, Wanyan Zongwang wanted to detain Zhang Bangchang and the others and constantly wear down their patience. Since Zhao Kai is here, he must make good use of it. Wanyan Zongwang has come to Bianliang not a small number of times, and he knows a little about the situation in the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Yougong, the only capable person in the Great Song Dynasty, was still forced out of Bianliang City by his own family, and the remaining group of royal brothers could only intrigue with each other, figuring out how to kill their own people one by one, and doing the right thing, according to Zhao Yougong was too far away. Wanyan Zongwang hopes that the negotiations will be smoother, and it is best to obtain the greatest benefits in the shortest time, and these will fall on Zhao Kai's head.

In normal negotiations, as long as you are not stupid, you have to bargain. Even Zhao Kai and Zhang Bangchang have been scared enough. But their bargaining skills are still there. Normal talks are sure to drag on for time. The benefits won may not be the most, but if Zhao Kai feels enough threat, the result will be different. The threat can't come from his Wanyan Zongwang, because Zhao Kai is not a fool, he knows very well that if Dajin Guo wants to negotiate peace, he has to save his Zhao Kai's life, but the threat from Zhao Huan is different.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't see Zhao Kai and the others for a long time, so he dragged on for a day. During this day, Wanyan Zongwang didn't even show his face. The three envoys to the peace talks even went to the hut with someone to follow. At night, Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan fell asleep unconsciously, only Zhao Kai didn't feel sleepy at all with his eyes open, which was also thanks to Wanyan Zongwang, and the medicine was only given to Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, which shows how much Zhao Kai can afford to look up to. Got up, cautiously came to the door, and poked out, there was a bright light outside, and the half moon was fluttering. The camp is covered with a quiet camp, and there is no blue sky or white clouds in sight. But you can see a few people from the Jin country outside the account, maybe they think that the people in the account have already fallen asleep, so the voice of a few people is not small.

A bearded man who looked rough sat crooked on the ground, supported his chin with his right hand, and said in a low voice, "Hey, you don't know, the king just received a Great Song envoy, and I don't know what to talk about." I really don't understand these Han people, isn't it enough to send three peace envoys in front, why did they send another one, it's not the same way, it's evil. ”

"But it's not, these Han people are just interesting, don't worry about it, sleep for a while" Several Jin soldiers stood up scolding, some went to the side to take a nap, and some returned to their positions to continue to stand guard. Zhao Kai was afraid that he would be discovered by these barbarians, so he was so frightened that he slipped back to the big tent. People are back, but their minds have not calmed down, what the hell is going on, why are there two groups of peace talks, no wonder Yan Zongwang didn't come over for a day, and dared to talk to others. There are too many things I don't understand in my heart, and I raised my hand to pull Li Bangyan up, so I could ask him if he knew about another wave of peace talks, but when his hand was about to touch Li Bangyan, Zhao Kai hesitated again. If he was really deceived, could Li Bangyan be trusted? It is true that Li Bangyan has always been attached to himself, but it is precisely because of this that he knows Li Bangyan's character, this surname Li is a wall grass, who dares to guarantee that he did not quietly take refuge in Zhao Huan.

Thinking about it, he suddenly found that there was no one he could trust, looking at Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan who were asleep, Zhao Huan secretly sighed, and kept telling himself, you must be calm, you must be calm, in this Jin State camp, the only person you can trust is yourself, hum, I want to see what Zhao Huan is going to do, I want him Zhao Kai to die in the Jin State camp, there is no door, no matter what, he has to leave alive.

Thinking about things, coupled with a day of panic and anxiety, under fatigue, Zhao Kai fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up by a clanging sound outside the account the next day. When they opened their eyes, Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan were also rubbing their eyes and sitting up in a daze, Li Bangyan was probably asleep, and thought he was at his own home, and shouted loudly in a sharp voice, "Which one doesn't open his eyes, what are you doing outside, don't you want to live?"

Before he could scold and play, Li Bangyan couldn't scold, he seemed to be in the camp of Jinguo, not at home. After reacting, Li Bangyan's face was pale, and his hands were trembling, not to mention the panic. Zhang Bangchang and Zhao Kai rolled their eyes even more, looking at Li Bangyan as if they were looking at aliens, hey, Li Bangyan, Li Bangyan, do you think this is in your own home, isn't this a clear pit person?

When I was afraid, I heard footsteps outside, and the three of them became nervous, for fear that the Jurchen barbarians would be angry and find fault. The door curtain was opened, and a fairly quiet Jin Guo junior glanced at it, pointed at Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, and said loudly, "You two can leave and go back to Bianliang, my king has an order to send you two back." ”

Now Zhao Kai and the others were directly blinded, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Jurchen barbarian? Suddenly, Zhao Kai remembered what happened last night, could it be that another wave of peace talks envoys had already finished talking? Thinking of this, the eyes looking at Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan were a little wrong, with a little ridicule in the ridicule, a little sadness in the conceit, Zhao Kai felt that he had been betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan felt inexplicable, they didn't know what was going on, but if they wanted to ask, the Jurchens wouldn't explain. In this way, he was forcibly sent out of the big tent. watched Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan leave. Zhao Kai was in a brocade robe. There was a coldness in his eyes, he didn't seem to be afraid, and he calmly said to the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom outside the account, "Go and tell the king of your family, if he wants more benefits, come and talk to this king." ”

Why did Zhao Kai change this way? Maybe it's because of a different state of mind, when you feel that you only have one way to go, you are not afraid of anything. It's a big deal. Those Jurchen soldiers also sighed at Zhao Kai's great changes, stared at Zhao Kai, and finally helped pass the word. What made Zhao Kai happy was that it didn't take long for Wanyan Zongwang to come.

Zhao Kai was very happy that his words had played a role, and after Yan Zongwang, he looked at Zhao Kai like a fool when he looked at him. It is said that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is extremely smart, and when I see it today, he is too far behind Zhao Yougong, and his intelligence is only the so-called cleverness. This. Wanyan Zongwang is really a little mistaken, Zhao Kai's cleverness is not limited to careful thinking. still has great wisdom, but at the moment he is blinded by a puzzle. In the final analysis, Zhao Kai was too distrustful of Zhao Huan, and he always felt that this newly ascended imperial brother would harm him, so that Wanyan Zongwang could take advantage of it.

When he came to the big tent, Wanyan Zongwang found a cushion and sat down, frowning, looking outside from time to time, looking impatient. Zhao Kai and Wanyan Zongwang have met, so they can be regarded as acquaintances, Wanyan Second is a typical unprofitable master, Zhao Kai had to rack his brains to think about how to convince Wanyan Zongwang. After pondering for a while, Zhao Kai sat down, staring at Yan Zongwang with a pair of eyes, "King, I don't know how many benefits the imperial envoys promised you?" ”

Hearing Zhao Kai ask like this, Wanyan Zongwang's face showed a look of surprise, he frowned, waved his hand and said with a smile, "What did His Royal Highness King Yun say, this king doesn't understand, isn't the Great Song Dynasty just carte blanche to entrust you to peace talks, how many benefits are promised, don't you know?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang denied it, the more he was like this, the more he strengthened the conjecture in Zhao Kai's heart, and he had already said it to this point, Wanyan Zongwang still pretended to be stupid, it seems that others have promised a lot of benefits. Gradually, he was a little anxious in his heart, Zhao Kai needed to live, he didn't want to die in this ghost place like this. Wan Yan Zongwang looked at the top of his head, Zhao Kai lowered his head and kept thinking, for a while the big tent became unusually quiet, only the spring breeze outside the account knocked on the door curtain from time to time, time passed minute by minute, Zhao Kai could hear his heartbeat, if you want to live, you must live, suddenly, a wave surged in the chest, damn it, let it out, when I looked up again, there was a little more ruthlessness in my eyes, this fierceness, even Yan Zongwang felt trembling when I saw it. At this time, Wanyan Zongwang had to admit that he had seen the wrong eye, Zhao Kai was really not a mortal, how could he be a rival with Zhao Yougong?

"The king, as the king said, as long as you are willing to talk to the king, you will get much more benefits, and the king can stay in this account as a hostage, and the king doesn't have to worry about my Song not fulfilling his promise. If something happens, the king's life will be left here. ”

Wanyan Zongwang really laughed three times in his heart, this plan finally worked, what he wanted was that Zhao Kai didn't bargain, and now he has done it all. Mo Ti was so happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face at all, as long as he showed it a little, it was estimated that Zhao Kai would come back to his senses, squinted his eyes, pretended to ponder, and after a long time, he sighed, "His Royal Highness King Yun said this, which really made this king look sideways, since His Royal Highness King Yun has such confidence, isn't it stupid for this king not to agree?" Don't hide it from Your Highness, someone looked for this king yesterday, and promised two million in gold, ten million in silver, and countless benefits of cattle and sheep. Of course, there is also a requirement for so many benefits, that is, His Highness cannot be allowed to return to Bianliang City. ”

What Wanyan Zongwang said was the same as what Zhao Kai thought in his heart, since this is the case, why did Wanyan Zongwang say it? It's just to stir up a relationship, Zhao Kai understands this very well in his heart, and lets Wanyan Zongwang provoke it, even if he doesn't say these words, won't he know those things? Zhao Guan's family is still ruthless enough, with two million gold, which not only gave away the Jurchens, but also gave away the lives of their brothers, and the transaction is really cost-effective. It is said that his father Zhao Ji opened a trading street, and he is the royal nobleman who is the best at doing business in the world. Waves of anger rushed from his chest, and if he hadn't deliberately suppressed it, he didn't know if he would have burned himself.

It was not easy to calm down the anger in his heart, and then he leaned over, sneered and asked Wanyan Zongwang, "King, you say, how many benefits do you want, in short, this king wants to return to Bianliang City alive." ”

How much does it take, Wanyan Zongwang has already thought about it, and it seems that he is hesitating, he did not directly answer Zhao Kai's question, "His Royal Highness King Yun, are you sure?" No matter how much the king wants, you can agree? ”

"King, do you think life is important, or wealth is important, if you are the king, how will you choose?" Zhao Kai smiled helplessly, and Wanyan Zongwang nodded and agreed, "Hehe, if it is this king, then he will naturally survive first." ”

The words have already been spoken, as if there is no hindrance, Wanyan Zongwang put his right hand on the table, his fingers kept rubbing his palm, and after a while, he said lightly, "Five million gold, fifty million yuan, ten thousand cattle and sheep, one million silk horses, in addition, the Great Song Dynasty ceded Taiyuan Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Zhongshan Mansion to give me the Dajin Kingdom." How about it, can His Royal Highness King Yun still accept these conditions? ”

When Yan Zongwang reported the bidding code, Zhao Kai hated it in his heart, because the number of Yan Zongwang reported was too annoying. Now the limit that the Great Song Dynasty can come up with, that is, so much, Wanyan Zongwang wants so much, it has been accurately calculated, the Great Song Dynasty has it, he wants to take it all, if the Great Song Dynasty can't take it out, he won't want it. Just like he wants cattle and sheep, but he doesn't want horses, Da Song has everything but lacks horses, and if he wants it, he wants it in vain. As for Taiyuan Mansion, Hejian Mansion and other places, Zhao Kai didn't pay much attention to it, now that Dajin Kingdom is going south, Daimyo's Mansion has been occupied, Hejian Mansion is even more in the bag of Dajin Kingdom, whether to give it or not is not the same, as for Taiyuan Mansion, it has now been occupied by the Dingguo Army, and there is no problem with giving it to the Jurchens, if the Jurchens have the ability to go to Zhao Yougong to grab it, if it is really because of Taiyuan Mansion, the two sides are fighting, then it is really a good thing.

The number is amazing, and it is also very insulting, 50 million yuan, the people of the Great Song Dynasty have always been one person, and it is even more insulting than the 450 million taels of silver in the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" in later generations, but Zhao Kai did not hesitate for too long, and nodded directly, "Okay, just do what the king said, but the king also wants to do the king a favor, when announcing to the outside world, you must say that what your country is asking for is doubling the number, and it is this king's struggle to reduce to this number, in addition, this king took the initiative to stay as a hostage, in order to win the trust of your country, In order to protect my Tokyo Bianliang from the invasion of soldiers. ”

Zhao Kai's eyes were blazing, and he didn't have the slightest fear, and at this time, he was out of the woods, and he was not afraid of anything. Recalling Zhao Kai's words, Wanyan Zongwang was shocked in his heart, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, looked polite and polite, and even a little pedantic, but this thing was ruthless enough, and the means were not superb.

In the end, Wanyan Zongwang agreed to Zhao Kai's request, and he had no reason not to agree, wouldn't it be a good thing to help Zhao Kai improve his prestige and win the hearts of the people, and provoke the Great Song Dynasty infighting in disguise? Soon, the preliminary documents of the peace talks regulations were sent to Zhang Bangchang, in fact, Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan did not leave, but after taking away from the big tent, they were detained in the military tent on the east side of the barracks, Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan waited for a long time, but what they were waiting for was a document, which had already drawn up the price to be paid by the Great Song Dynasty, and the most terrible thing was that the Jurchens detained His Royal Highness King Yun as a hostage, when the things written on the document were delivered, and then the King of Yun was released back to Bianliang, limited to two days, and the wealth was not seen within two days, and the Jurchens would kill Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, Storm Bianliang City.
