Lin'an, Zhao Gou looked depressed, the errand sent by Ling Zhen had returned, and informed Zhao Gou of the things Ling Zhen had explained. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fang Qifo's army has already entered Dali, and it seems that there is not much difference between borrowing and not borrowing the Tao.

What should the Great Song Dynasty do, whether to continue to use diplomatic means to urge Zhao Shuo to negotiate peace with Dali, or to withdraw forcefully and send troops to help Dali fight against Fang Qifo. Or, ignore it. Ling Zhen asked Zhao Gou to make a decision.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Gou naturally would not be happy, because he didn't know about Fang Qifo's entry into Dali.

At this time, anger and anger are useless, and he has to find a way to solve the current problem.

Li Chao has defected to Zhao Shuo, and Dali must not let Zhao Shuo take it. Otherwise, the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty are the land of Zhao Shuo, and once Zhao Shuo wants to make a move against the Great Song Dynasty, the situation of the Great Song Dynasty will be difficult.

After sending the errand officer sent by Ling Zhen down, Zhao Gou found Qin Hui.

After telling the news that the errand had brought back, Zhao Gou asked Qin Hui. "Qin Aiqing, you say, what should we do next?"

"Official, with all due respect, the officials we collected information were much worse than the people of King Song. Such a major news, it turned out that Zhao Shuo sent someone to inform us, and we only knew that this ......" Qin Hui sighed. "Step by step is preempted, step by step is suppressed."

"I'm also angry about this. I have already blamed the relevant officials, and when this matter is settled, I will take care of it. Zhao Gou affirmed Qin Hui's opinion, and then continued. The top priority is still Dali's business. If Fang Qifo invaded Dali, with Dali's strength, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long. ”

"If you can't hold on, what will Dali do?" Qin Hui frowned.

"What can they do!" Zhao Gou laughed. "Either send an envoy to us for help, or send a finger to surrender to Zhao Shuo."

"Since this is the case, the minister proposes that if they send an envoy to Lin'an to ask us for help, we will continue to negotiate peace with the King of Song, but if they send an envoy to surrender to the King of Song, I think we don't need to be involved in this matter." Qin Hui bowed and said.

"What if they send messengers on both sides?" Zhao Gou raised a different opinion. "Also, if Dali voted for Zhao Shuo, have you thought about the impact? From then on, the southern part of my Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia were no longer in Taiping. Coupled with Zhao Shuo, who is eyeing the north, how should the days of the Great Song Dynasty be spent in the future. ”

Zhao Gou said very easy to understand, Zhao Shuo borders the entire northern territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the Li Dynasty is in the south, and Dali is in the southwest, if the three parties are combined, it will be fine, but if Zhao Shuo and Zhao Gou have a contradiction, and the three parties start a war at the same time, the Great Song Dynasty will be dangerous.

"Official, if this is the case, the minister asks to visit King Song again." In front of Zhao Gou, Qin Hui consciously blocked the word envoy and changed it to a visit. After all, a few days ago, Zhao Shuo's envoy Ge Shan was here again, but he was bitterly criticized by Prime Minister Lu Yihao. At this time, he didn't want to get himself into trouble because of these things.

"Qin Aiqing is going to visit King Song?" Qin Hui avoided the word 'messenger', and Zhao Gou had already guessed it. "Why do you want to go to the meeting? Where is Ling Zhen? Aiqing went, isn't it an extra move? ”

"Although Ling Zhen has always been loyal to my Great Song, Ling Zhen and Ling Yun are father and son after all, and Ling Yun has been reused by Zhao Shuo. If you can't keep it, this Ling Zhen will have other ideas. When the minister went this time, he also beat him up and let him know what to do and what not to do. Also, since Ling Yun knows how to make small cannonballs and muskets, Chen wants to relieve it and see if he can ......" Qin Hui smiled vaguely and did not say any more.

But Zhao Gou really understood what Qin Hui meant. Obviously, Qin Hui wanted to get the production method of small cannonballs and muskets from Ling Yun.

"Okay, in that case, if Dali has an envoy to Chang'an, I will still hand it over to Aiqing to deal with." Zhao Gou waved his hand. "Aiqing, I wish you success, go down."

Zhao Gou sent Qin Hui down, Qin Hui packed up his things, left the mansion that day, and ran to the north with a few entourages.

Qin Hui's action was very fast, but Dali sent a messenger when Fang Qifo entered the country, even if Shu Dao was as difficult as the blue sky, but it was still the first to reach Chang'an than Qin Hui.

Facing the envoy of Dali, Zhao Shuo politely received him.

"Dali's envoy Duan Zhengxing ......"

"Gao Mingshun ......"

"Meet the prince."

After entering the door, Duan Zhengxing spoke first, then Gao Mingshun, and then the two spoke at the same time.

"Two envoys, you don't have to be so polite, please take a seat, please take a seat." Zhao Shuo made a gesture of please, with a smile on his face.

Duan Zhengxing saw that Zhao Shuo was so easy-going, and a trace of doubt could not help but rise in his heart. It is said that the king of Song killed decisively, and it stands to reason that he should be an incomparably majestic prince. But the prince in front of him, less than twenty years old, smiled and polite, which really did not match the rumors.

Duan Zhengxing, who couldn't figure it out, looked sideways at Gao Mingshun. Gao Mingshun once followed Duan Zhengyan to the Great Song Dynasty, and later also made many envoys to neighboring countries, and he was well-informed in Dali.

Looking at Duan Zhengxing's gaze, after Gao Mingshun, Duan Zhengxing asked him to express his position first!

"Lord Wang, this time I went with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to discuss with the prince about the war in the Li Dynasty." Gao Mingshun got up and spoke.

His words are very mysterious. First of all, they directly pointed out Duan Zhengxing's identity, and secondly, they said the purpose of their visit this time.

"Your Highness the Prince! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Zhao Shuo arched his hand with a smile on his face.

Duan Zhengxing was depressed, but there was no way at this time, glaring at Gao Mingshun, Duan Zhengxing got up and saluted Zhao Shuo.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to be so polite, I won't talk about those false courtesies here, just say whatever you want." Zhao Shuo motioned for Duan Zhengxing to sit down and spoke.

"Lord Wang, then dare to ask, the war ...... the Li Dynasty" Duan Zhengxing was on his first envoy, and when he spoke, he was still a little worried.

"You're here to negotiate, so let's talk about your conditions first!" Zhao Shuo scratched his brows and spoke.

"This is actually a misunderstanding, we don't know that the Li Dynasty is the land of the prince, otherwise we wouldn't dare to attack the Li Dynasty if we eat the courage of the ambitious leopard." Gao Mingshun spoke at this time.

"Stop, now it's peace talks, you don't need to say the reason for your attack on the Li Dynasty, let's talk about the conditions." Zhao Shuo stopped Gao Mingshun, and his face became serious.

"My Dali army withdrew from the Li Dynasty, and the prince's army withdrew from Dali, and since then, the two sides have been harmonious and friendly." Gao Mingshun said the calculated conditions.

Zhao Shuo shook his head. "I also have a reason, as long as you agree, I will withdraw immediately!"

"Lord Wang, please speak!" Gao Mingshun stood up and saluted.

"Commerce!" Zhao Shuo said lightly.
