Chapter 638: Zong Bi Seeks Peace

Although Xu Liu became a governor and left Shaanxi, he still exchanged letters with Xu Jiu frequently, although it was not deliberate, but in his letters, he revealed a lot of central secrets to his cousin. As I walked into the dining room, I opened the cover and took out the letter and read it.

"Official, it's time to eat." Zhang Jiujiu filled a large bowl of porridge and put an egg next to him.

"Okay, why hasn't Ji Lan gotten up yet?" Xu Wei asked casually.

"She's pregnant, let's snooze, let her be." Zhang Jiujiu is a person who has come over and seems very considerate. But after this sentence, I didn't hear my husband's words, and when I looked at it, I found that Xu Jiu's face was solemn, and he could already see God. So he didn't bother him, and took care of his two daughters and ate.

After a long while, Xu Wei was still staring at the letter, and when Zhang Jiujiu saw this, he said to his little daughter: "Tell Dad to watch it after eating." ”

Xu Yan was obedient, and said in a milky voice: "Dad, my mother told you to watch it after eating." ”

Xu Wei raised his head and smiled reluctantly, put away the letter, and then ate it uneasily. Zhang Jiujiu found that he only cared about drinking porridge, neither picking vegetables nor peeling eggs, and seemed to be distracted by something, so he asked: "Official, who got the letter?" ”

"Sixth brother." Xu Weidao.

"Is something wrong?" Zhang Jiujiu guessed.

"It's nothing, let's eat." Xu Wei said with a smile. How could it be nothing? Xu Liuxin revealed two things to his cousin. First, under the repeated urging of the Son of Heaven, Zhongshu has drawn up a candidate for the judge of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu. This person's name, Xu Wei is like thunder. He once served as a prisoner in Shaanxi, and was later transferred to the central government to manage Dali Temple. Xu Wei's third uncle staged a coup d'Γ©tat that forced Zhao Huan to step down, and his main auxiliaries were purged, including him. However, either because he was proficient in criminal law, or because he had gone the way, he was actually recalled to the court with Huang Qianshan and served as the secretary of Dali Temple. This person is Wan Qiao.

According to Xu Liu, it was Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei's idea to send him, because Wan Qiyu had served in Shaanxi and was familiar with the situation. Back then, when Wan Qian was in Shaanxi to raise some prisons, Xu Wei was still the pacification envoy of Dingrong Zhijun and Shaanxi Huajinglu, and he basically had no contact with each other, and he had no special impression. But this history is very famous, that is, he tried his best to "promote" Yue Fei's unjust imprisonment, and among the four kneeling statues in front of Yue's tomb, he has a place.

However, Xu Wei didn't care much about this matter, he came as soon as he came, and he was his adjutant anyway. What he meant was another thing mentioned in Xu Liuxin.

Since He Guan's Shenwu Hou Army was defeated by the Jin Army and lost the Jingmen Army and Yingzhou, there has been a constant murmur between the DPRK and China. Recently, I don't know why, the Jin army did not make a big move, last month, Zong Bi actually sent someone to contact the king of Zhejun, intending to stop the war, whether it is the division of territory or the positioning of the two countries, it is compared with before the war.

As soon as the news reached Xingxing, some ministers who were already anti-war rose up and demanded that the emperor and the court accept it. Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei also agreed. However, the official family was not satisfied with the conditions proposed by Zong Bi, and insisted that the annual coin should be exempted and the relationship would be equal. You don't have to think about it to know that it is impossible for Zong Bi to agree to this condition. However, Xiao Zhao's official family insisted on his own opinion, and after being rejected by Zong Bi, he sent his inner servant Shen to go to the court and go to the front to meet the king of Zhejun. What exactly to do, the ministers don't know.

However, he could see some clues from the emperor's words. Because since the Jin army took the initiative to propose an armistice, the officials mentioned to the prime ministers on different occasions that the Jin army took the initiative to ask for a truce because they knew that they could not capture Xianghan, and they were afraid of the Shenwu front army of the king of the county, so they found a step for themselves. Judging from this, Xiao Zhao's official family sent Shen Xue to the front line, probably to discuss "big things" with the king of Zhejun. He knew that the prime ministers couldn't get through here, so he bypassed the second government and gave an order directly to the front line.

Xu Weiyi's is exactly this.

The people in charge of Hangzhou were all in the dark, and they didn't know why the Jin army suddenly took the initiative to propose an armistice. But Xu Wei couldn't be clearer that Zong Bi must have been under great pressure from Jin Ting, asking him to come back and suppress the chaos. Think about it, as a vassal state of Dajin, there was such a serious civil strife in Western Xia, could the Jurchens sit idly by? What's more, the Western Army seized the Linfu Road and probed the soldiers to the Yanyun border, and the shock of Jinting can be imagined.

Zong Bi was in a hurry to come back, but he was afraid that if he withdrew, the Song army would come in chaos. Therefore, he could only take the initiative to propose an armistice. But who knew that when he met an angry Qing emperor, as soon as he saw that Jin Jun was soft, he immediately put forward a request that was impossible for the Jurchens to accept. It is estimated that the current Zongbi frontier is also difficult to ride a tiger.

But the emperor bypassed the ministers of the second government and directly sent the inner servants to meet the commander of the army, which was exactly what Xu Liu guessed. The "big event" that Shen Ze discussed with the king of Zhejun on behalf of the emperor was very likely to launch a counterattack after the Jin army retreated!

It is not difficult to see that Xiao Zhao's official family is not only "forging ahead" this time, but also has a great sense of adventure. If this bet wins, then it will not only be able to recover the lost territory, but also inspire the military and civilians, and it is possible to recover Tokyo! However, if the bet is lost......

However, Xu Wei personally believes that this is indeed an opportunity and it is worth gambling. The civil strife in Western Xia, the Western army entered the Lin Mansion, and Zong Bi was under pressure from the Jin Dynasty and could not help but return. If the Song army takes advantage of the situation to counterattack at this time, it is still possible to open up the situation. But the key lies in the quality of Zheyan, whether he is willing to counterattack.

If he wants to preserve his strength and is unwilling to counterattack, he has many excuses to prevaricate. But then again, Orihiko is both civil and military, and it is impossible for him to ignore this opportunity.

Yes, for the sake of saving me twice, I'll do you a favor!

On the same day, Xu Wei wrote a piece of music and passed it to Hangzhou with a silver medal fast horse. In the cantata, he reported on the civil strife in Western Xia and the movements of the Western army, and showed the imperial court why the Jin army was retreating. Of course, he didn't make any claims in the transcript, and that wasn't his concern. He wanted to borrow his own book to solve the doubts of the court and Zheyan.

February 17, Qinzhou.

Xu Wei received a report from the adjutant from Qinzhou, confirming that Wu Jue was really ill. Hearing this, he immediately set off for Qinzhou to visit.

"I've seen the captain!" When Xu Wei rode his sweaty horse to the front of the Wu Mansion, the doorman hurriedly came down to greet him, and someone hurriedly reported into the mansion. When he stepped into the threshold and entered the vestibule, Wu Xuan, the younger brother of Wu Jue, and the eldest son, Wu Gong, all came out.

"Tang Qing, how is Jin Qing's illness?" Xu Wei didn't wait for them to salute, so he hurriedly asked.

Wu Luan's face was gloomy, he sighed before speaking, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, I listen to the doctor, I'm not very optimistic." ”

Xu Wei walked quickly and said, "It's okay, I brought a famous doctor and a batch of medicinal materials from Xingyuan, and I will definitely be able to cure Jin Qing's illness." ”

"Thank you, Captain." Wu Lan hurriedly followed behind. After a while, several of them came to Wu Jue's room. Wu Jue's wife and sons were waiting outside the door. Xu Wei didn't say anything to them, and stepped straight into the room. After crossing the threshold, he turned around and stretched out his hand to signal that everyone should not come in.

In February, the weather has warmed, but Wu Jinqing on the sickbed is still holding a thick quilt. It was estimated that he was asleep, so he didn't notice Xu Wei when he came in.

The purple gold tiger walked to the front of the collapse and looked carefully. found that Wu Jue, who was radiant in the past, now has a sallow face, and he is obviously thinner, and both cheekbones are rising. He was actually just over fifty years old, but perhaps because of his illness, he looked much older.

Xu Wei felt very uncomfortable, looked at it for a while, and came out lightly. Asked Wu Luan: "What did the doctor say?" ”

"It was said that it was a problem in the lungs, causing hemoptysis. In fact, my brother found that there were blood streaks in his phlegm earlier, but he was busy with military affairs and had no time to pay attention to it. As a result, as soon as it dragged on, in the previous few months, as long as I coughed badly, I vomited one bite at a time. Wu replied.

Xu Wei glanced back and whispered, "He is asleep now, wait for him to wake up, and then let the doctor take a look." Hey, you have someone bring the prescription to the doctor. In order to treat Wu Jue's illness, Xu Wei paid out of his own pocket and invited a good doctor in Xingyuan City to calculate the remuneration on a daily basis, and he was worried that the conditions in Qinzhou were limited, so he purchased a batch of medicinal materials at the suggestion of the doctor.

After a while, the prescription was taken and handed over to Xu Wei, a famous doctor from Xingyuan. The old man looked at it carefully, and said to Xu Wei: "Tai Wei, if you look at it from the prescription, the diagnosis is not bad. The above medicines are all to clear the lungs and relieve cough. Specifically, it is still the villain's own diagnosis to make a number. ”

Xu Wei nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a coughing sound sounded inside, and Wu Jue woke up.

"Good! Tang Qing, you take the doctor in for diagnosis, don't mention me first. Xu Wei hurriedly said. Wu Lan led the doctor inside, only to hear him say: "Brother, this is a famous doctor invited from other places, specially here to diagnose and treat you." ”

Wu Jue didn't reply, still coughing.

Xu Wei and the Wu family waited outside, and after a long while, the old man *** came and didn't say anything, only said: "Please take a step to speak." ”

Walking all the way outside the room, Xu Wei stopped and asked, "How?" ”

Lao Langzhong sighed regretfully: "Don't dare to hide it from the captain, if you treat the disease of Xianggong, there may be hope." But it dragged on for too long, not only was the pulse weak, but the breathing was not smooth, and the worst thing was that the villain found that as long as Wu Zhizhi coughed violently, even if there was no phlegm, he was coughing up blood one by one. ”

"I don't understand this, I just want to know, can it be cured?" Xu Wei frowned.

"Tai Lieutenant, it is impossible to cure well. If you recuperate with a clear heart and few desires, and then take some decoction to clear the lungs, you can at least last for a while. Lao Langzhong said truthfully.

Xu Wei's heart sank, and he asked again, "How long can it last?" ”

"There is no way to guarantee it, or a year and a half, or a long time." The old man said in the middle.

Xu Wei didn't speak for a while, only lowered his head, and after a long time, he hummed and said, "There is work, go and rest and have a cup of tea." After speaking, he turned around and walked into the room.

At this time, Wu Jue stopped a little, just gasping for breath. Xu Wei moved a chair to sit in front of him, but he didn't notice it because he closed his eyes.

"Jin Qing." Xu Wei called.

Wu Jue turned his head sideways, stared at Xu Wei for a moment with his already coughing red eyes, and then came back to his senses, straightened his upper body, and said, "Tai Wei!" ”

"Oops! Don't move, you lie down! Xu Wei got up and pressed him down.

"This, this, when did the captain arrive? Why didn't anyone notice? Wu Jue was a little anxious.

Xu Wei shook his head: "You're like this, what are you paying attention to?" ”

"The captain is busy with affairs, how dare you work hard? It's not a big deal to be humble. I don't know if Wu Jue doesn't know it himself, or if he comforts Xu Wei.

As a result, Zijin Tiger was depressed when he heard this, looked at the face of his old subordinate, and sighed: "How can a man like a bear and a tiger ...... Alas. ”

"Taiwei doesn't have to worry, in this life, he fought with Taiwei in the south and the north, killing people like hemp, he has already lived enough, but now he closes his eyes, what is the matter?" Wu Jue said with a smile.

Xu Wei stared at him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You and I are all fought out on the battlefield, how many people will die in our hands?" Some time ago, I read a book, and before Bai Qi died, he said, 'I deserve to die, the Battle of Changping, Zhao died hundreds of thousands of people, I deceived and pitted, it is enough to die', isn't this a portrayal of people in my generation? ”

"Haha, I happened to have seen this paragraph of lowly duties. If you join the army, you will inevitably die. It's just that the horse leather shroud is the proper destination of my generation, damn, if it dies, it will be a shame. Wu Jue said hatefully.

When Xu Wei heard him say this, he already knew in his heart, and it seemed that he himself understood his condition. Then he was relieved: "Don't be discouraged, this disease is easy to recuperate, and with the right decoction, there is a turnaround." ”

"I hope so." Wu Jue said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, there was another cough.

Xu Wei suddenly found that after he coughed, there was blood in his mouth and lips! With a tight heart, he hurriedly took the teacup on the table and handed it over, Wu Jue took it, rinsed his mouth, and spit the blood into the copper basin before collapsing. He sat up in his clothes, held the cup and said: "These days, when I am sick, I often recall the old things of following the captain to fight in various places in the past. It's really not easy for us, starting from Mu Huogang, we fought a bloody battle with the Jin army, and then chased it to Hebei, and then entered Shaanxi to fight for Hedong, only the south has not been there. After more than ten years, it can be regarded as a great achievement, and this life is in vain. ”

"What is this? The two rivers are still in the hands of Beiyi, and we can do a lot more. Xu Wei said.

"I really want to follow the captain all the way to the end, but life and death are fateful, and I can't force it." Wu Jue said softly. Speaking of this, he turned his head, looked directly at Xu Wei, and pretended to smile easily: "This disease of despicability is estimated to not be good for a while, there are a few things, I want to ......"

Xu Wei knew what he meant, waved his hand, and said a little angrily: "Don't mention this, I don't like to hear it." Tell me when you're well. ”

"Wu Lan has been emulating me since he was a child, I learned to ride and shoot, and he raised his arms and shouted next to him. I read the military book, and he didn't even know how to read, so he stood behind me and pretended to read. After I joined the army, he followed. Anyway, after all these years, my two brothers have come over like this. Wu Jue said to himself.

Xu Wei was silent, he knew that Wu Jue was entrusted with the aftermath.
