Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze knew that the purpose of Gluing Chongshan was not this, they heard that Gluing Chongshan had been secretly contacting some generals and Jurchen generals of the Jin Kingdom, this was naturally not for rebellion, and the Jurchen tribes, who had experienced the pain of destroying the country, had lost the courage and strength to restore the country. But Mongolia is a power-driven society, and who doesn't want to have more troops at their disposal? Among the generals of today's southern expedition, the Jurchen tribe led by Jiagu Liuqi was only responsible for the tasks of the periphery, and its backbone was either the Mongol headquarters or the Han people in the north. This point, he bonded Chongshan, Jiagu Liuqi and the Jurchen Wanhu Jiagu Zhalong who followed the broadduan westward expedition all understood well enough, and returning north when it was useless was a choice to maximize the interests of the glue Chongshan.

Shi Tianze threw off his robe and shouted loudly: "You can collect grain and grass from Henan and transport it here, I will personally supervise it, and I will definitely collect a batch of grain within twenty days and send it over!" ”

As soon as he said this, it was regarded as a conflict with the glued heavy mountain head-on, and Jiagu Liuqi on the side sneered: "I don't know how many days General Shi's troops can take Xiangyang?" If you can't conquer it in a year, what's the use of gathering more than thirty or fifty days' worth of food? ”

Shi Tianze was furious and was about to do it, but he saw that Tasi's face was sinking like water, and his eyes were as sharp as two iron cone guns, which made him suddenly feel cold. Tath asked in a deep voice, "Yanshi, what do you say?" ”

Yan Shi squinted his eyes, held his hands in front of his stomach, and watched everyone arguing indifferently, and suddenly heard the king ask himself, and quickly stood up, and said unhurriedly: "Xiangyang can not be captured in one day, now the plan, it is better to leave late than early, and there is nothing to do here, what is the meaning?" But what Zhang Degang said also has some truth, if he goes back like this, he will inevitably be laughed at by Zheng Yunming, and there is nothing cheap, for the sake of today, it is better to try to blow up Zheng Yunming's little fox and let him spit out a few pieces of fat, how about it? ”

Tath's eyes rolled quickly, turned his anger into joy, and said: "It is precisely this truth, the Mongols' war results are not necessarily obtained by bows and arrows and war horses. Go and call me too much to get rid of the cause and the moon is flickering! ”

When the quiver outside the tent heard Tath's order, he immediately rushed to summon Tai To's cause and the moon to come.

The joyful Turkic officials did not have the usual ferocity and bravery of the Kangli Turks, but rather a bit like a Confucian from the Han Dynasty, or a cunning merchant like a fearful vulture. The greatest contribution of Khuma to Mongolia in the month was not the capture of the city, nor the capture of many people, cattle and horses, but when the Mongol army could not attack the city of Rayi, as a former official of the former Khorezm, he went to persuade him to surrender, so that the 50,000 Khorezm officers and soldiers defending the city laid down their weapons and surrendered to Ogedei. Naturally, in the end, the entire city and the surrendered officers and soldiers were slaughtered by the treacherous Mongol army, but Tsukiri Kumma's ability as a lobbyist has since been recognized by Ogedei.

"The two of you go into the city, and say to that Zheng Yunming Chen that there are benefits and harms, just say that if you don't make peace, I have prepared an army of 500,000 people, and I will not stop until I capture Xiangyang City, at that time, there are no chickens and dogs left in Xiangyang City, and no one can be spared. But if it is to make peace, as long as the Sinan Si people are willing to show enough sincerity, I am willing to collect troops and go back. ”

He walked a few steps behind his back in the tent, explained the conditions of the peace one by one, and ordered: "Don't hesitate, get ready to go to Xiangyang to call the city immediately!" ”

When Hu Ma and Tai Tuyin came to the north gate of Xiangyang to call the city in the month, Zheng Yunming was sitting in the back garden of the embassy and playing against Zhao Kui, and the chess they used was neither black and white, nor chess, but a very popular double 6 chess at that time. Zhao Kui took the lead with the respect of the elders, and he had to kill all the fifteen sunspots on his side into the sixth line on Zheng Yunming's side, and the Chinese side won. The number of moves of the chess pieces is determined by the number of points of the two dice rolled.

Although Zhao Kui is an elder, he has always been busy leading troops to govern the government, and he is not proficient in the tricks that literati like Double 6. Zheng Yunming's double 6 chess skills were not brilliant when he was in Lin'an, and once he even lost to six classmates in 15 games in a row. But this crude chess skill is more than enough to deal with Zhao Zhizhi, and seeing that his chess pieces are fully pressed, he is about to drive all Zhao Kui's sunspots off the chessboard. Suddenly, I saw Zhao Kui shake his hand, and the dice in his hand rolled a nine. The last sunspot went straight to Zheng Yunming's bottom line, and the shape suddenly reversed, forcing Zheng Yunming into a desperate situation.

Zheng Yunming stared at the dice blankly for a long time, and said, "Good sign! Perhaps the messenger of the Tartars to make peace will be in these days. ”

Before Zhao Kui could answer, a servant hurriedly came to report: "There is a Tartar envoy calling the door in the north of the city, claiming to want peace talks. The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Kui stood up and said to Zheng Yunming: "Before you make a play, you have to be ready to stop, who are you going to let to greet the Mongolian envoy?" Zheng Yunming also stood up and said confidently: "This matter must be Wu Qian." ”

In the month, Hu Ma and Tai Tu waited outside the city for a long time, and then they heard the city head respond loudly: "Wait and listen, the envoy has agreed to meet the two, and now please ask Mr. Wu Qian, the senator of the envoy to come and greet you!" ”

The city gate drawbridge was slowly lowered, the city gate was wide open, and hundreds of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding spears surrounded a white and fat young civil official and opened the city gate, forming a neat line outside the city. The young civil servant stepped forward with an interpreter and a grin.

"The two of you have worked hard, I just said that the Mongols will only send troops, and I don't think they will send people to negotiate peace, or not, we will receive them with cannons when the soldiers and horses come, and we will treat the envoys with courtesy." As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation to the city gate: "Two of you, please, the envoy and Vice President Zheng are waiting for you in the palace." ”

Tai Tou snorted and walked towards the city gate. In the moon, he did greet Wu Qian with a spring breeze on his face.

"Today's peace discussion will only be beneficial to you Sinan Si people, and there will be no harm, believe me, I was originally a small official in Khorezm, just because I relied on my flexible tongue to save the officials and people, dozens of times more than those princes and grandchildren."

Yueli said triumphantly: "If you accept the conditions of the Mongols, you will not suffer." There is a proverb in our hometown that it is better to trade with a smart person for ten years than to trade a naan with a fool. Master Ye Hu and all the adults in the city are all smart people, and they must all understand this ideal. ”

Wu Qian said with a smile: "That's right, I think the Quchu King and you outside the city must also be smart people, otherwise how could they not attack it and send Your Excellency to rip off the bamboo pole?" ”

Knocking on the bamboo bar is a Jiangnan proverb, which originally referred to the sedan chair driver to attract guests at a low price, and when the guests get on the sedan chair halfway, the sedan chair man puts down the sedan chair, knocks on the bar of the sedan chair and says: "Master, the legs are soft, the waist is sore, help add some money, otherwise you can't walk." "At that time, halfway through, the guests did not go forward or return, so they had to add money. If it is a well-hearted sedan chair man, add a price and send the guest to the destination, but there is an unscrupulous sedan chair man, a trip always to knock on the bamboo bar five or six times, everyone in the south of the Yangtze River said to knock on the bamboo bar, not without gritting teeth.

Of course, Yueli Kuma didn't understand this, he just said to himself: "Whoever obeys the Great Khan of Mongolia will prosper and prosper, and whoever resists will surely be crushed, and the fate of the sixty kingdoms has proved that no one can disobey." ”

Wu Qian just smiled and listened, the story of Khorezm and Xiliao was too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, maybe these Hu people who didn't know the sage's etiquette regarded life as more important than dignity, but in the eyes of the sage's disciples, it was not necessarily.

After entering the city gate, the tall city gate tower with bright clothes and bright armor looked at the Mongolian envoy on the stone road with a brushing gaze, behind the heavy city gate was originally a small square city, and there was a city gate on the inside of the small city, such a structure was not unfamiliar with the city of Tai Tuo Yin Buhua, he knew that this was the customary structure of the city of the Han Dynasty, and the main city of the northern Jin Kingdom also had this kind of gate structure, and the main city of the northern Jin Kingdom also had this kind of gate structure, and the Tai Tuo Yin Buhua also knew that this structure was called the urn city, The attacking soldiers who entered the urn city seemed to be packed into a large urn, and bows, arrows and stones were thrown in all directions, which was a dead end with no way out. If you don't spend too much, you can still guess that there should still be hidden secret channels and hidden weapons caves in the urn city, even if three or four thousand people attack the urn city, it will only end up completely destroyed.

The inner gate of the urn city has been opened at this time, and the sides are full of neat armored soldiers, the men in Jiangnan are short and thin, but this time the soldiers standing on both sides of the avenue are tall and mighty, half a head taller than Taituo Yin Buhua, the armor leaves on his body are shining, the waist is new, the tip of the spear in his hand is shining in the winter sun, and the brocade robe on his body is bright in color, which is obviously newly taken out of the warehouse and temporarily divided. The horned bow in the archer's hand was strong, the bowstring was tight, and the steel skin scabbard in the axeman's bosom was spotless. Apparently this was deliberately done for the Mongol envoy to see.

Wu Qian paid attention to the face of the too detached and unflowered as he walked, and this point was also clear that it was too detached and unflowered. He said coldly: "These warriors are very powerful, about five of them can be one of my Mongolian warriors. ”

He asked Wu Qian again: "Why don't there be firearms among these people?" With these people alone, Sinan Si people are not the opponents of our Mongol army, and you can invite those warriors who use firearms out for me to see. ”

Wu Qian's chubby face moved, and he said slyly: "Firecrackers and artillery, that is the important weapon of the country, as Your Excellency said, the Great Song Dynasty is not enough to compete with the northerners in the field for the time being, and because of this, it is even more impossible for our army to show people with such sharp weapons casually." ”
