After reading it, Sticky Han laughed and said, "Your Majesty is really clever, I might as well wait." Jin Wushu and the others were at a loss, and at the moment Mu Han was sent back left and right, and after reading the letter and Jin Wushu alone, Jin Wushu was surprised and delighted: "It turns out that Your Majesty has begun to deploy the matter of going south at this moment." ”

Sticky Han said with a smile: "Yes, at this time, forming an alliance with the Song army seems useless, but it is of far-reaching significance, just because we have never fought with the Song army brigade, I don't know the truth, although there was a small defeat in the small group of soldiers and horses yesterday, but it was defeated by the Song army of Naliangshan." At this moment, the alliance is His Majesty's intention, one is to teach the Song army to come north, to see its hypocrisy, and the other is to paralyze the Song army, and when the Liao army is destroyed, our army can end the alliance as a mouth, and take advantage of the fact that the elite of the Song army are in the north, gather and annihilate the elite of the Song army, and then go south to invade the Central Plains, and there will be no resistance. ”

After pondering for a moment, Jin Wushu also asked with some worry: "What if the Song army is strong?" Sticky Han said with a smile: "Since the covenant has been made, if the Song army is powerful, then let the Song army occupy some Liao land and get some benefits, and Song Jinyong is a brotherly state, so use the covenant to tie the hands and feet of the Song army." Within his Song court, the literati were in charge, and I heard that these literati still paid more attention to face, and they would not be treacherous in such major matters as the alliance between the two countries. ”

Jin Wushu said: "What should the Liangshan Song Army do?" Jin Wushu sighed and said: "Since there is an alliance, the two families will join forces to attack Liao, and the previous battles have damaged each other. His Majesty's meaning is to leave Yanjing behind, besiege first without attacking, and when the Song army comes, please ask the Song army to attack the city, since the Song army of Liangshan has arrived here, he will send a messenger to explain the reason, he wants to pick up people, whether he wants to attack the city, it is all handed over to them, we can watch from the wall. However, the seventy-eight people captured by him had to be recovered, so he sent someone to contact the Song army to explain the benefits! ”

After the discussion was made, the two sent envoys to bring the will of the Emperor of Jin, and then sent an envoy to Song Ying again.

But said that Lin Chong was there, and when he heard that the envoy of the Jin State had returned, he hurriedly raised his account to summon him, and the envoy said the will of the Emperor of the Jin State, and Lin Chong and other generals also looked at each other, but they didn't expect that at this time Song Jin actually formed an alliance to attack Liao.

At that moment, Lin Chong first ordered someone to entertain the envoy of the Jin State, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he ordered someone to send the news to the Liqing overnight.

On the Liqing, Sanniang slept soundly until she woke up at three poles in the morning, and just freshened up and changed her clothes, and Qiong Ying came to report: "Before dawn, there was a person sent by the head of the Lin sect to deliver the news, and he had been waiting for three or four hours. ”

Sanniang was in front of the mirror, Yulian combed her hair, and frowned slightly when she heard this: "Why don't you wake me up?" Qiong Ying said: "Gongsun Daochang heard the news first, and said that this news is not a big deal, because he has not disturbed the lord." Sanniang sighed and asked, "What's the news?" ”

Qiong Ying said: "I heard that it was the envoy of the Jin State who brought the news that the Song and Jin countries had formed an alliance to conquer Liao. Hearing this, Sanniang laughed and said: "Indeed, as Gongsun Daochang said, whether Song and Jin form an alliance or not has nothing to do with my Shandong Road." ”

After freshening up and changing clothes, Sanniang came to the front cabin, saw the little colonel who delivered the news, and after reading Lin Chong's handwriting, Gongsun Sheng said on the side: "Song Jin is forming an alliance at the moment, presumably because Song Ting and Fang La have already divided the victory and defeat, and Song Ting only hopes to rely on the alliance to conquer Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun." ”

Sanniang frowned and said: "This trip to the north is also careless, Zheng Ying's pigeon shed in Yanjing has not been able to release the news, and we have not had a carrier pigeon to pass the news here for a long time, presumably the carrier pigeon has not walked the sea route, and many carrier pigeons have gone wrong." I don't know what the situation of the Jiangnan war has been in these days. ”

Gongsun Sheng groaned: "The nearest carrier pigeon loft that can still be used is in Jizhou, but I can send a light horse to Jizhou to find out the news." After a pause, Gongsun Sheng said again: "Since the Jin State sent an envoy to explain the news of the alliance between Song and Jin, it must be that they are unwilling to meet with our saber soldiers, it seems that this trip to pick up Zheng Ying and other brothers from Yanjing City is a matter of course." ”

After Sanniang pondered for a while, she ordered: "Let Lin Chong reply to the envoy of the Jin State first, since the two countries are allied, then our two armies can naturally shake hands and make peace, but if the Jurchens agree that we will go to Yanjing City to pick up the merchants, then the seventy-eight Jurchens captured by us can be put back to them." If the Jurchens have any unreasonable demands, they can directly refuse. We will finish the business that needs to be done first, and the rest of the things will wait until we have the official will of the imperial court. ”

After thinking for a while, Sanniang instructed Yulian to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then wrote a handwritten letter, sealed it with fire paint, and instructed: "Please send someone to send a letter to my senior brother, teach Yang Tinghe to personally hold the letter to Yanjing City to see the Northern Liao Emperor, I had an old relationship with him, read the letter, he will definitely send someone to send Zheng Ying and other brothers out of the city safely." ”

After thinking about it again, Sanniang changed her words and said: "That's it, I still order the patrol ship to go to the shore camp to bring Yang Tinghe here, and I will personally order with him." Gongsun Sheng responded and sent someone to pick up Yang Tinghe according to Sanniang's instructions.

Two hours later, Yang Tinghe arrived on the Liqing, saw Sanniang in the front cabin, served tea, Sanniang handed the handwritten letter to Yang Tinghe and said: "Here you and I met the Emperor of Northern Liao, that is, the previous King of Jin, you took my letter and went, he will naturally send Zheng Ying and other brothers out of the city after reading the letter." After a pause, Sanniang said: "I wrote a letter to persuade the King of Jin to go south with me, and he saw that if he was willing to leave in disguise, he would come out together, and go south with me." ”

Yang Tinghe didn't know why he asked, "Why do you want to take this Jin king south?" Sanniang said: "The king of Jin guarded Yanjing for three years, the military and people of the north are convinced of him, the prestige of the king of Jin in the north is unsurpassed, Yanjing will be broken sooner or later, it is better to take him back to Shandong Road, when our army goes on a large northern expedition in the future, the first division is famous, and the second is reliable His prestige, and the military and people of the north have helped." ”

Gongsun Sheng said with his head bowed: "The lord is more serious, although the fall of the Liao State is imminent, but there are also 3,000 nails in the broken ship, after the Jin State occupies the Liao land, there will be Liao people who have their hearts in their hearts, or lurk in secret, just waiting for the opportunity to return to the country, if our army can go north to the Jin Kingdom, there is the chess piece of the King of Jin in hand, and a lot of things can be saved." ”

Yang Tinghe said: "I see, I must try my best to pick up the King of Jin." But what if he refuses to abandon his army and people? "Sanniang also knows the temper of King Jin's rotten good man, how can he abandon the soldiers and civilians of Yanjing City and flee for his life alone? Thinking of this, Sanniang sighed and said, "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven." ”

In the end, Sanniang instructed: "Although the Jin State sent an envoy to say that the Song and Jin countries had formed an alliance, they had the intention of showing goodwill, but the Jin State is a country of tigers and wolves, and we must guard against him when we go. ”

After the discussion was made, Yang Tinghe resigned and went back to the camp by boat. After Yang Tinghe left, Gongsun Sheng saw that Sanniang was still frowning, so he said, "The lord is still worried about the affairs of the Northern Liao Emperor?" ”

Sanniang bowed her head and said: "Exactly, I have always taken one step and looked at three steps when doing things, if the chess piece of King Jin can be used by me, the Northern Expedition will be of great benefit in the future, but this time I am afraid that he will be too benevolent and righteous, and he will not leave Yanjing." ”

Gongsun Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "I, Qiao Daoqing, and Ma Ling, the three of them, are here, and I am willing to stay in the north to receive this Jin king. ”

Sanniang bowed her head and said: "Dao Chang, Qiao Daoqing, and Ma Ling will definitely be able to take people out, but I am afraid that Yanjing City will be in chaos at that time, and the Jin army will be strong, and I am afraid that there will be accidents." After following Sanniang for a long time, she suddenly had an idea and said: "Dao Chief, the three of you will go to the Jin Army camp tonight, find someone to come, and bring him back. ”

Gongsun Shengqi said: "It's not just who? Sanniang smiled: "It is the future slave Guo Yaoshi!" ”

At the same time, in the camp of the Jin Army, Guo Yaoshi was drinking freely with a group of old subordinates and tents, and suddenly shivered, sneezed a few times, rubbed his nose and said secretly: "Damn, I don't know who said Lao Tzu behind his back." ”

After eating and drinking for a long time, after Guo Yaoshi slept for a while, he was woken up by his henchman Colonel and said that Marshal Muhan was invited. Sticky Han is his benefactor, and Pharmacist Guo didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got up and freshened up, dressed neatly, and went to meet.

When he arrived at the big tent of Sticky Han, Sticky Han said: "Song Jun has already replied to the letter, it turns out that their group is the Liangshan Song Army of Shandong Road, and they are here to answer more than 3,000 Shandong Road merchants in Yanjing City. Now Lin Chong, who commanded the army, replied to the letter, and said that he asked us to let go of the east gate, and they brought soldiers and horses to pick up people. ”

Guo Yaoshi said strangely: "Can the Liao people let those Han merchants out of the city?" Sticky Han said: "I also feel confused, but the letter says that they have their own way, just let us get out of the way." Ben Shuai can't make up his mind, so he asks you to discuss. ”

Without waiting for Guo Yaoshi to speak, Jin Wushu said on the side: "I'm afraid that if we open up a road here, he Liangshan Song Army will send grain and grass equipment into the city to support the Liao people." Don't forget, this Liangshan and Yanjing have been trading for more than three years, and there are more than 3,000 merchants and people left in Yanjing. ”

When Guo Yaoshi heard this, he said: "Lang Jun doesn't have to worry too much, since Jin and Song have formed an alliance at this moment, what the Song court wants most is to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, this Yanjing is determined to win, even if this Liangshan military horse sends grain and grass equipment in, don't care about him, anyway, according to His Majesty's meaning, teach the Song army to fight a dozen Yanjing, so as to see the reality of the Song army." It would be better if she sent grain and grass in, and it would save the Liao people from supporting the day when the Song army arrived. ”

Sticky Han said: "It's exactly what I want, after getting the news of the Jin and Song alliance last night, the Song court's intention is that even if they send troops to Yanjing, they will not attack until the spring of next year at the earliest, so they will ask our Jin army to besiege first but not attack, but the money and food consumed by our army to besiege the city will be paid by the Song court." Haha, the Song people are really generous, as soon as they open their mouths, all our grain and grass are covered, and when the time comes, we can also pay a ransom fee, which is to ask my Jin Kingdom to give up Yanjing. The Lord pushed the boat down the river and agreed, hahaha. (To be continued.) )
