Chapter 1068 [Asking Price]

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and early this morning, Zong Wangpu also ordered 50,000 horses to leave the camp at the time of the meeting, and lined up in front of Liaoyang City in the middle of the day, and came to meet the battle according to the appointment.

Huang Jie's side also ordered 50,000 horses to wait in front of the city, and it was still the first to send people to invite people to fight heads-up, but the result was that the Jin army once again fought six losses, one win, one capture and one draw.

As for the second formation, the Song army set up the "Pingrong Wanquan Array" on its side, and the troops sent by the Jin army were 6,000 light and heavy cavalry mainly from the Tieli Division's heavy armor infantry, supplemented by 3,000 miscellaneous Hu heavy infantry and 5,000 attached troops as cannon fodder and archers.

The offensive formation adopted was cavalry to guard the two wings, with 3,000 heavy armored infantry in the center and 5,000 cannon fodder in front.

The Jin army adopted the flat push battle method, and the Song army directly changed the formation into a standard one-word long snake formation, with the sword, shield, spearmen in front, the divine arm archers in the back, and the cavalry guarding the two wings, and then used the bed crossbow mixed with the large arrow array of the divine arm bow to educate the Jin army again, and helped at least 3,000 people to be people again.

In this battle, from the early morning to the afternoon, the Jin army was killed about 3,000, the number of wounded and disabled was also 2,000, and the Song army suffered more than 1,000 injuries. The two sides had no choice but to withdraw their troops, and invited Huang Jie to fight before going to Jinying three days later.

However, this time Huang Jie did not agree, but said to Zong Wangyan that the Song court sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Jin State, and the time could be three days later, hoping that the Jin army would properly receive the envoy.

Regarding such a thing as peace talks, Zongwang neither hoped nor refused, but also agreed. After Qin Hui arrived at the Jin Army as a special envoy and presented the letter of state and the terms of the peace talks of the Great Song Dynasty, he was not happy or angry, and while entertaining Qin Hui, he sent someone to send the content of the peace talks to Huining Mansion as soon as possible.

As a result, Wu Qimai looked at the content of the peace talks, and it is said that he was so angry that he mixed up a room full of various porcelain utensils in the palace, not to mention, and killed a beloved war horse in anger.

The contract brought by Qin Hui this time is really not too much in Huang Jie's opinion, and the core demands are only three: first, to return the Emperor Taishang and Jinshang of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the kings and the captive clansmen; Second, according to the previous "Maritime Alliance" agreement, Jin took Liaoyuan Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and Song Dynasty took Liao Nanjing Xijin Mansion, and now the former agreement is invalid, so it is hoped that the current Desheng Pass, Gubeikou and other Liao Great Wall sites and the regional boundary actually controlled by the two sides will be used as the boundary to demarcate the new border between the two countries; The third is that the land occupied by the Song army from Liaoyang Mansion to Yaozhou belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire Liaodong Bay (that is, Bohai Bay) was leased as a waterway, and on this basis, the Great Song Dynasty transferred the original coins to the Liao Dynasty to the Jin State as the rent of Liaoyang and Liaodong Bay.

Speaking of which, it is not too much to return Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son in the first place, after all, the Jin captives wanted to use them as hostages, but the Great Song Dynasty did not eat this set at all, so it was one of the most frivolous demands in the peace talks. The second is the matter of the agreement, the "Maritime Alliance" has long been a big joke, and the return of the sixteen states is also a joke, so the Great Song Dynasty proposed to divide the sphere of influence according to the actual occupation and control area of the two sides, but there is no real unjustifiable reason, after all, it is indeed who has the biggest fist in this matter.

But the last one is a little unacceptable, this Huang Jie occupies Liaoyang, which can be regarded as the land of the Great Song Dynasty? He also wants to lease "the entire" of Liaodong Bay as a waterway, although it is said that the original annual coins given to the Liao State will be transferred to the Jin State as compensation, but this kind of action is not equivalent to obviously beating people with urine bubbles, although it does not hurt, but it is very annoying!

Therefore, the treaty of peace negotiations was sent to Huining Mansion only ten days later, and it also returned to Wu Qimai's attitude: first of all, the clan and the kings can be returned, but Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son can only return one person, and one person must be kept as a hostage in the Jin State. Secondly, it is no problem to demarcate the border according to the actual control areas of the Song and Jin countries, but the Great Song Dynasty must compensate the Jin State for a certain amount of military expenses, and the quotation is 10,000,000 guan (100 million guan) or various materials of equivalent value.

As for the third point, not only must the Song army unconditionally leave the territory of the Jin State and return to the Great Song Dynasty, but also must pay 10 million yuan of annual coins to the Jin State every year.

After receiving this reply, Qin Hui smiled and said nothing, and did not bargain with Jin Guo according to the previous authorization of the Song court, but turned around and crossed the sea to return to the Great Song Dynasty to return to the imperial court. As soon as Qin Hui turned around and left, Huang Jie also went to write to Zongwang, saying that since the envoy of the peace talks had left, why don't you continue to fight?

Zong Wang replied with a "just what I want", so the two sides chose to fight on the first, third, fifth, and seventh days of the new year every ten days, and rest on the rest of the days, with a small battle of less than 30,000 people and a big battle of 50,000 people.

It was also agreed that they would not attack each other's grain routes, nor steal the city or surprise attack the granaries and the cities in the rear, and that the remains of the fallen soldiers should be returned on the battlefield, etc.

In this way, the two sides started a round battle in front of Liaoyang City in a slow manner, and as the formalization of the battle became more and more obvious, the battle situation became more and more dull, and the soldiers became more and more sophisticated. From the beginning of each battle with at least more than 1,000 beheadings, and gradually decreasing by hundreds of casualties, by the end of June, each battle was at most 10,000 on both sides, and the engagement was also in units of 1,000 people, and the daily casualties were only hundreds.

Of course, some people may think that there is some ink in this kind of war, or they have played too many games in later generations and watched too many movies and television dramas, and always think that the war is that the two sides will put all their troops out of the formation as soon as they come up, first the main general will come out and fight alone, and then once the victory will come to a whole army assault, and the victory will be determined by a battle.

Hehe! This is obviously impossible!

In fact, this ancient war was actually so gentle, it was common for a conquest to last a few years, and to attack and defend a city for a year and a half.

Some people may think that the speed of the Jin State to destroy the Liao is also fast, but in fact, the Jin State was founded in the fifth year of Tianqing (1115 AD), and it took ten years, and it was not until the third year of the Jin Tianhui (1125 AD) that the Liao State was destroyed.

Therefore, like Huang Jie, it took half a year to hang up the battle card with Zong Wang in Liaoyang, and now he has a single number to fight and a double number to rest for more than two months, which is really not a waste of time at all.

At the end of June, Qin Hui came to pull the calf with the will of the Song court, and the Song court entered into the discussion for almost a whole month, and the agreement was as follows: First, the emperor Zhao Ji should return to the Song Dynasty, leaving Zhao Huan, a little bastard, as a hostage. Second, 10,000,000 guan (100 million guan) or various materials of equivalent value are sky-high asking prices, and the Song court promised to give 5 million guan at most, and asked for a minimum of ten years of installments. Third, it is impossible for the Song army to evacuate Liaoyang no matter what, so there is no need to talk about the evacuation, but the matter of the New Year's currency can be discussed, and the asking price of 10 million guan is naturally too high, and the guidance given is less than 300,000 guan.

After this condition was reported, Jin Guo's reaction did not say, Huang Jie laughed first when he saw him, and said to Qin Hui: "This ...... This is really a sky-high asking price, pay back the money on the spot! ”
