Lure and Uncle Zhang looked at each other and smiled, the official rank of the government was the highest, and he was in charge of Xu Weimang's sixth... Fierce: "Ziang, why is this?."

"In today's battle, if it weren't for the rescue of the two adults, the Hujie Township Army would definitely not have escaped the end of the division. This is to thank the two chiefs on behalf of our brothers, Xu Wei's words are sincere, and the two of them see that he has a sad face, knowing that the casualties in this battle are large, Xu Jiu is distressed. But no matter how many casualties there are, it's worth it! Your Hujie Township Army burned the grain and grass that could not be separated cleanly, so that the Jurchen army had no food and no horses, and the future battle situation did not need to be guessed to know, the Jin army had no food, so it could only withdraw. And from Tokyo to Yanyun, even if I let him go all the way to let him go back safely, I am afraid that before he arrives at Yanshan Mansion, he will fall in Hebei as a hungry prisoner

Uncle Zhang was very pleased, since he first met Xu Wei, he admired this late-born junior very much. At that time, Xu Wei was just a township leader, not even a formal officer, and he had already recommended it to the imperial court. Now as expected, this kid has made great achievements one after another, if you have to say that last year's blocking of the Jin army in the north of the Yellow River for five days and nights was a big luck, then this time. Xu Wei has made a real achievement.

"You and I are ministers of the same palace. It should be so, Ziang doesn't have to be polite, and his age is actually no more than Xu Wei's round, but his speech and demeanor are extremely old-fashioned. For hundreds of years, the Zhe family has been in the town of Fuzhou, with martial arts to Jing Frontier, to establish a prestige, but Zhi Yan is a serious Jinshi background, which can be regarded as an outlier.

The big battle stopped, and several generals of the unified army were not too polite, and sat down. The two chiefs both praised Xu Wei vigorously, saying that they had sent someone to report to the official family, and then, you Xu Jiu will wait to be promoted to the rank of official and be crowned a wife. Oh, it seems that Xu Ziang has never been married? That's okay, if you set up such a special honor at a young age, what an honor it would be if you became someone's son-in-law? Are you still afraid that the Chinese Wu Zhongchen will not go to Xufu to drill?

After talking for a while, Zhi Yanzhi set his eyes on Bian who was not long before he was added by the official family as a "senior minister." The latter then asked Xu Wei: "Ziang, in your opinion, if Zhongli is not defeated, what will he do next?" ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he didn't answer for a while, glanced at the two chiefs, lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then said softly: "It's hard to say."

Zhang Shuye was a sincere gentleman, and he didn't ask questions, and Zhe Zhonggu smiled: "Why should Ziang be too humble? I have long heard that before the Song and Jin wars, you have concluded that the Jurchens will definitely attack against the alliance, and you have accurately predicted the time of the opponent's troops and the direction of the march. Ji Zhonggong and I sincerely came to ask for advice

Xu Wei knew in his heart that as soon as he put this fire out, he forced Jinjun East Road into a corner. The generals of the army are afraid that they will not be able to separate. The reason is simple. The Jurchens invaded the south twice, and the prosperous and wealthy Great Song Dynasty was so hard that they couldn't touch it. Most of the people who led the troops were frightened, but now they are attacking and defending, which is a great opportunity to make contributions. Think about it, who doesn't want this to turn the tide?

hugged his fists and chuckled: "The signing of the book is serious, and the meaning of humility is not that I don't want to say it." It's not accurate

"Oh, where do you start? Thinking that there is no food and grass to lose, the army will definitely be disheartened and dare not fight. Now I'm afraid I'm racking my brains and trying to figure out how to get out. How many miles to the Northland? He didn't want to go back in peace." Uncle Zhang snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

The problem lies in "thinking hard about how to get out." Above. With the current situation, the separation is not lonely, and the supply is hopeless, no matter how brave the Jurchens are, it is unlikely that they will fight again. But in the Jin army, there is no shortage of Great Song Tong, especially Guo Yaoshi knows the Great Song Hushi very well, especially the mentality of the Great Song monarchs. The second prince of Jin Guo's escape strategy must have been thought up by this person.

"The military rations have been burned, and the sharpness has been lost, what else can he do?" Orihiko asked.

Xu Wei groaned for a while, and said for a long time: "Then let's guess, if there is anything wrong with what I said, please bear with the two adults." ”

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "It's okay for you to say it directly, there are no outsiders here."

Orihiko quality immediately interfaced. Half-jokingly, half-seriously, he asked, "What?" Is Ziang treating me as an outsider? ”

Before Xu Wei could answer, Uncle Zhang had already hurriedly relieved him: "What did the signing minister say, as one of the privy councillors and important ministers of the state, in order to save Xu Wei, you were willing to take risks and personally raise thousands of fine horses to help, this kindness is enough for him."

"Hehe, Ji Zhonggong is serious, it is my duty to save Xu Wei, besides. Ziang, will be planted, for the national reserve, I dare not save me? . Orihiko smiled when he heard this.

A few jokes, back to business. Xu Wei guessed that in the near future, the separation would not necessarily send envoys to Tokyo to restart the peace talks. And it will definitely change its arrogant and unreasonable attitude and take the initiative to make concessions. He will definitely ask for money and food, but he will no longer ask the Great Song Dynasty to respect Jin as the country of his uncle, nor will he mention the land of the three towns, let alone draw the river as the boundary. In this way, the goal of striking the troops will be achieved, so that they can smoothly return to the country.

After Xu Wei finished speaking, Uncle Zhang slammed his palm on the table, and the cup and plate jumped. The old man was so angry that his face was flushed. Hate voice

Delusional. His tens of thousands of troops only ordered food on two days, and they only waited for death! Sail and form a large army, chase and break it, in order to deter the northern captives, so that they dare not covet the Central Plains! How can you make peace with them?"

Zheyan is as stable as Mount Tai, as quiet as water, and does not express any opinions. Uncle Zhang's resentment was hard to dissipate, claiming that he wanted to meet the official family and admonish the use of soldiers, and he must not let the tiger return to the mountain. I guess I'm going to prepare a notebook

After Zhi Yan waited for him to leave, he smiled and said: "Governor Zhang's Jiang Gui's nature is old and spicy, and he is not inferior to a young man."

Xu Wei knew that he still had something to say, so he didn't take the initiative to mention it, just persuaded tea. After drinking dryly for a while, Zheyan finally asked, "Doesn't Ziang still want to give an eviction order?" ”

"How dare you be lowly? Xu Wei said with a smile.

"Then you don't want to ask me what else is going on?. Orihiko also smiled.

Xu Wei took a sip of tea and replied: "If there is something to do, why should Cambodian ask?" If nothing happens. It is also a vain question to ask

Yan Zhi laughed, pointed at him and said: "When I first saw you, I felt like I was familiar at first sight, and today it seems that you really have an appetite for me." With that, he smiled and looked out of the house.

Xu Wei knew what he meant, and said: "Don't worry, there will be no idle people."

Orihiko has a slight jaw. Thinking about it, his lips moved several times, and he stopped talking. After a long time, Fang Cai Zhengse said: "According to Ziang's opinion, if the Jin army sends an envoy to negotiate peace, what will be the attitude of the official family?"

Xu Wei's eyes lit up, Zhe Zhonggu is an understanding person, this is to the point. According to the system of the Great Song Dynasty, whether the war is fought or not, how to fight, it is the emperor and the ministers who have the final say, and you have no choice but to be in a hurry on the front line in generals

If you want to make contributions to Han Libu, you must first consider whether the emperor agrees. Thinking about the third, he replied: "The power of heaven is unpredictable, and this is not something that can be guessed by a lowly position. ”

Although Zhi Yanzhi was smiling on his face, he looked at Xu Weigao in his heart Originally, he thought that Xu Jiu was born in a family of soldiers, so he naturally had both courage and strategy, but he was limited to marching and fighting. However, judging from his actions and words, it seems that there is more than that, and this is also a master who pretends to be confused. But it's hard for him to think about it, he is a literary rank, and he is his peak, and he didn't have any contacts in the past, how dare he easily confide the truth? If you want him to speak, you have to show sincerity

"Well, you don't want to say it, I said that Orihiko shook the hem of his clothes, put his right elbow on the table, and sat against the table.

"If Han Li sends an envoy to Tokyo to negotiate peace, the official family will definitely be moved. There is no other reason, first of all, when the new emperor is in danger of the country, there has never been a piece of peace. What do the officials want most now? Taiping! If your expectations are not bad, the Jin State only asks for money and grain, does not ask for land, and does not want to honor the title, then the official family will definitely be happy to exchange money for peace

Exchanging money for peace has been a precedent since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years.

"Secondly, if he is not the second prince of the Jin State, he has a special status, and if he is destroyed in the territory, the officials and important ministers of the court will inevitably worry about angering the Jin State and making them pour the power of the country to take revenge

Xu Wei nodded occasionally, noncommittal.

In the end, although the imperial court hindered public opinion and used He Li, who was the main battle, as the Shaozai, the position of Dazai was still held by Geng Nanzhong. We fought a battle today, not only against the Jurchens, but also against Geng Nanzhong. The lord and minister with him as the master, once they learned that the Jin army was suing for peace, would definitely try their best to encourage the officials. With these three points, it is not surprising that the official family is wavering

Xu Wei was secretly frightened. I was amazed by both Orihiko's insight and his openness and honesty. You must know that there is a huge difference between his official rank and his rank, and he can tell each other so frankly and honestly, and he does not shy away from some sensitive political issues.

However, Xu Wei knew very well in his heart that Zhe Yanzhi promoted him so much, although there were reasons for appreciation and trust, but more importantly, I am afraid that it was to throw bricks and lead jade.

Sure enough, seeing that Xu Wei was silent for a long time, Zhi Yan asked, "What?" Ziang has nothing to say? Is there any rebuttal to these three articles? ”

Xu Wei used to set up deceptive deeds, floating on the rivers and lakes, believing in one article. One more friend is better than one more enemy, although, friends on the rivers and lakes are not very reliable. Although friends in officialdom are even more unreliable, the same applies to this article. Besides, Zhi Yanzhi is indeed risking his life to save him this time

However, since Zhe Zhonggu could see the problem so thoroughly, it was impossible for him not to understand the first and third points. What is really tangled is the second one, to put it bluntly, if you don't move, will Jin Guo pour the power of the country to take revenge? If it will, will the Great Song Dynasty be invincible? He already knew that he had always been "prescient." "So I think I must be familiar with the national conditions of the country. That's why I asked. Since he came to ask, it also means that he has the intention to break away. Isn't that the idea in mind?
