Chapter 381: The plan can't keep up with the change
Although Zhao Gou did not express his position, he agreed with Qin Hui's final suggestion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info If he can keep Dali without borrowing the way, not having trouble with Zhao Shuo, then peace talks are acceptable to him.
He accepted the proposal, but he couldn't think of a good way to implement it. After thinking about it, night had fallen, and Zhao Gou still hadn't come up with a suitable way.
"Gonggong Li, you said that Dali went to attack the Li Dynasty in order to show favor to us, and now Zhao Shuo wants to use the road to crusade against Dali, what should we do?" Zhao Gou, who had an idea but couldn't think of a way, asked about Gonggong Li beside him in desperation.
"Official, this Zhao Shuo is too evil, no one knows what he thinks, and the old slave doesn't dare to say anything about such a big thing as Shudi." Gonggong Li said with an embarrassed face.
"If there is anything you dare not say, I will let you say it, say it." Zhao Gou frowned, and his tone became stern.
Gonggong Li looked helpless, but he couldn't help but say it. "Official, didn't we ask Ling Zhen to study firearms some time ago? The old slave went to see it during this time, and the effect was not good. You see, the plan that Ling Zhen let execute, still have to be implemented? ”
Gonggong Li's answer was not what he asked, but Zhao Gou understood the meaning of his words. If Ling Zhen was allowed to use the secret of Ling Yun's Zhao Shuo's small cannonballs and firearms, once such a thing was exposed, the two sides would inevitably be on the same footing.
If this plan is to be implemented, then there is no need to think about it now. After all, sooner or later there will be a war, so why show favor now?
"You old slippery head!" Zhao Gou pointed at Gonggong Li and sighed lightly. "You're right, you'll have to think about it."
When he was in the main hall in the morning, Zhao Gou had already remembered the matter about Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo was now strong and strong, and the land was vast, which was no longer something that the Great Song Dynasty could compete with.
Fortunately, Zhao Shuo still regards himself as the King of Song, and he is still a member of the Song Kingdom. For this relationship, now Zhao Gou doesn't want to tear it up.
Seeing that Zhao Shuo sent an envoy to talk about borrowing the Tao, it shows that Zhao Shuo doesn't want to tear it up now. If they continue to live in peace like this, the Great Song Dynasty will dominate in the south, and Zhao Shuo will be able to help resist the threat from the north, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the Great Song Dynasty.
But borrowing the way is absolutely impossible, the northern countries have been stopped by Zhao Shuo, and Dali can still make a lot of efforts to dominate in the south.
"Gonggong Li, go and call Qin Hui." After thinking about it, Zhao Gou still decided to ask Qin Hui. After all, the strategy was proposed by Qin Hui, and it should be listened to Qin Hui's opinion. The most important thing is that now Zhao Gou has agreed to the plan, but he doesn't know how to implement it.
Qin Mansion, after Qin Hui went down to court, he began to wait. He had already seen that Zhao Gou had accepted his proposal. Therefore, he concluded that Zhao Gou would definitely send someone to discuss with him.
This is one day, when Qin Hui was about to give up, Gonggong Li came.
Zhao Gou summoned him, what a big deal, after Qin Hui gave Gonggong Li some silver taels, the two went straight to the palace.
Seeing Qin Hui's arrival, Zhao Gou changed his calm expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The minister visits the official." Above the court, Qin Hui called Zhao Gou His Majesty, and privately called him an official, which was also to get closer to Zhao Gou.
"The old slave visits the official family." Gonggong Li followed and saluted.
"Get up." Zhao Gou said with a smile.
After Qin Hui and Gonggong Li got up, Zhao Gou looked at Qin Hui. "Qin Aiqing, in the early dynasty, you said that you wanted peace talks, not to borrow the Tao, to protect Dali."
"Exactly!" Qin Hui replied.
"Then tell me, how to negotiate peace, not by the way, Bao Dali?" Zhao Gou asked with a smile.
"Official, we can send an envoy to Chang'an to tell the King of Song that this is a misunderstanding, and in the meantime, let Dali's soldiers retreat from the Li Dynasty. In this way, with the peace talks, there is no need to borrow the Tao, and Dali is also preserved. Qin Hui said methodically.
"Peace talks, will Zhao Shuo agree?" Zhao Gou was still smiling.
"It is impossible to stop the Dali army with the soldiers of the Li Dynasty, and if Zhao Shuo's army cannot send the Li Dynasty, the battle of the Li Dynasty will be at a stalemate, and this is not what Zhao Shuo wants to see, so the minister speculates that Zhao Shuo will definitely agree to the peace talks." Qin Hui analyzed.
"If there is no doubt about victory, why should we withdraw?" Zhao Gou was still smiling.
"Official, although you can win, but Fang Qifo's army, you remember, they were picked up by Zhao Shuo's army, the minister suspects that they are in the Li Dynasty, if these 200,000 mobs join it, then Dali's army will inevitably suffer losses, at that time, the battlefield of the Li Dynasty will be stalemate, into a protracted war. What kind of person Zhao Shuo is, the official family also knows that he may not have a way in a short time, but after a long time, if he comes up with a way to crack it, at that time, Dali will be in danger. Dali sent troops to the Li Dynasty for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, if Dali is in danger, my Great Song will definitely have to take care of it, but to compete with Zhao Shuo, with the current strength of my Great Song Dynasty, ......" sighed, Qin Hui continued. "It's better to take advantage of the current advantage of the Dali army to plunder the local area and negotiate peace directly."
After listening to Qin Hui's analysis, Zhao Gou couldn't help but nodded. "Okay, since that's the case, then Qin Aiqing will make some effort and send another envoy to Chang'an."
"Official, this time the minister thinks there is a more suitable person who can be envoyed." Qin Hui bowed and spoke.
"Oh? Is there a more suitable candidate than Qin Aiqing? Zhao Gou said.
"Ling Zhen! This time, Chen felt that he was the most suitable. Qin Hui replied.
"Ling Zhen?" Zhao Gou muttered a couple of sentences, and then laughed. "Okay, okay, let Ling Zhen go."
In Chang'an, Ge Shan took Ling Zhen to Zhao Shuo's mansion.
After hearing the announcement, Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled. "Let them in."
After Ge Shan brought Ling Zhen in, the two saluted at the same time. "Meet the prince."
"Get up!" Zhao Shuo raised his hand.
"Lord Wang, this is Lord Ling Zhenling, an envoy sent by the Great Song Dynasty to discuss the war of the Li Dynasty." As for the word 'messenger', Geshan said it quite seriously.
In the Great Song Dynasty, Ge Shan had already reported back to Chang'an, and Ling Zhen had also heard about it.
"Lord Wang, Chen Ling Zhen is not an envoy, but a courtier sent by His Majesty to discuss the war of the Li Dynasty with the prince." Ling Zhen was the first to speak, saying something different.
"Ling Zhen? Boom thunder! Zhao Shuo laughed. I've heard of your name. ”
Ling Zhen was stunned at this moment. He didn't know what Zhao Shuo was going to do, this was completely out of the routine.
"The prince is falsely praised, the minister is here to ...... this time" Ling Zhen wanted to get to the point, but Zhao Shuo didn't give him a chance. As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Zhao Shuo. "The matter of the Li Dynasty, there is a new trend, Dali's army has been defeated, Fang Qifo's army has entered Dali, you have to pass the news to my uncle, see what he says, and then we can talk."
