Zheng Yunming couldn't help laughing, he pointed to his seat: "It's your envoy sitting here, and others ask you to withdraw the outer fortress, just for the safety of his retreat, how should your envoy reply?" ”

Tai Deyin was silent, and retreating from the outer garrisons seemed to be a very easy thing, but the Song people couldn't help but be suspicious. In the event that the Song army retreated from the outer fortresses, the Mongol army immediately repented after occupying the fortresses, and immediately constituted a total encirclement of Xiangyang. Based on the natural reaction of a military general, it was absolutely impossible for Zheng Yunming to agree to this condition.

Yueli Hu Ma still smiled and said: "The outer fortress is such a thing, you occupy it and threaten me, I occupy and strangle you, fortunately, the outer fortress is not one, it is better for the two armies to take the foot of Nanshan Mountain as the boundary, the fortress defenders in the east are retained, and the fortress guards in the west are removed, which can not only ensure the safe retreat of our army, but also ensure that part of the periphery of Xiangyang is in the hands of Sinan Si's army, how about this?" ”

Zheng Yunming glanced at him suspiciously, and quickly calculated in his heart. If it is bounded by the foot of Nanshan Mountain, then some small fortresses in the southwest wing of the Camel Ridge belong to the scope of abandonment, except for the Nanshan Fortress that has been occupied by the Mongols, the real threat to the Mongolian army's northward retreat is actually the Camel Ridge, there were originally hundreds of elite Beiwei troops here, and now the addition of 500 cavalry and 300 Meng Heng troops can be described as strong. This morning, the lookout post came to report, the drums and trumpets of Luhuling were sounding in unison, and there were occasional sounds of fighting, obviously Liu Quan's troops in his hands, and his ass was a little unable to sit still. If the Mongols crossed the river and retreated north, these more than 1,000 elite soldiers would pursue behind, which would indeed be a threat that would be difficult to get rid of.

However, once the camel ridge falls into the hands of the enemy, it is equivalent to completely removing the threat to the enemy's base camp, and if Tasi really wants to capture Xiangyang, he can concentrate on the outer defense team and divide the team to take turns to attack. But even so, several large forts hidden deep in the mountains of Nanshan and the Oxhorn Fort near the South Gate were still able to wield a force to contain the enemy forces in the direction of the South Gate, thus limiting the enemy's attack to the west and north, which were easier to defend.

Naturally, negotiations cannot be blindly tough, and concessions and compromises are the core of negotiations. He and Zhao Kui looked at each other, and after unifying their opinions, Zhao Kui said: "In this case, take the foot of Nanshan Mountain as the boundary, and our army will withdraw to all the defenders west of the foot of the mountain." ”

"It's best to set it this way, to be honest, this is already the bottom line of the conditions given by the king of Quchu. The lord agreed so remarkably, so that I could explain in front of the king. Yueli suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "About the reinforcements of your army Meng Hui Nayan"

Zhao Kui smiled, patted the case and said: "Your Excellency, don't you know that it is precisely because of Meng Heng's 80,000 elite soldiers that this envoy can sit here and negotiate peace with your army!" As soon as Meng Heng retreated, the Mongols immediately attacked the city, thinking that the envoy would not think of it at all! ”

He said this so loudly that even Zheng Yunming was startled, he didn't expect that the envoy who usually only had a straight face would have time to do this.

In the month, Hu Ma did not flinch for half a minute, still in an unhurried tone, and said: "But Meng Heng's soldiers are on the side, and they are more dangerous than the outer fortresses. ”

Zhao Kui suddenly regained his majestic but slightly gentle face, and said gently: "In this case, I have a plan, can your envoy adopt it?" The Mongol army and the Meng Heng army were divided into two armies, on the first day, half of the army retreated thirty miles, and on the second day, half of the army retreated sixty miles, so that they covered each other and walked slowly, so that the two armies could ensure that they were all right, and when they each withdrew ninety miles, the two armies were divided into two armies. ”

Yueli thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he couldn't think of a flaw in this construction, but he was not the one who could make the final decision after all.

"This will not be decided by the king himself until I wait for the report to the king." Yueli Hu Ma said: "But today I finally understood the conditions of the two parties, and it was not in vain that we went to the city." I will take my leave after this, and if the terms of the peace agreement agreed upon by the king are bent, we will come back to discuss them. ”

Zhao Kui nodded and said to Zheng Yunming: "Then there will be a deputy to send the two envoys out of the city." ”

Zheng Yunming had a gloomy face, and led three hundred soldiers to the gate of the city like escorting prisoners, and the officials and people along the road were all onlookers, and the life was noisy and lively, as if the Mongolian envoy was regarded as a prisoner on the parade. Zheng Yunming ordered the city gate to be opened, and said to the two: "Xiangyang's conditions are really the bottom line that cannot be compromised, after the two go back, they will discuss with Qu Chu and Tasi, hoping to reach a peace agreement, and the two countries will each withdraw their troops, if Tasi refuses to give in, he will decide with Zheng in Xiangyang City, and Zheng Yunming will never miss the appointment." With that, he returned to the city with a majestic guard of honor and threw the two Mongol envoys alone at the city gate.

In the Mongolian Chinese military tent, Tasi sat on a delicate tiger skin chair, listening to the detailed report of the two on this negotiation, and when Hu Ma said that the Song people were only willing to buy the Mongolian army with 1,000 taels of gold and silver and 20,000 horses of silk and silk, he copied his thoughts and shouted: "Last year, I conquered a big city casually, and the looting income was more than this amount, Zheng Yunming's location must be the base camp of the Sinan Si army, how can there be only such a little property?" More than 100,000 troops wasted so much strength, five people could not share a silk, and the Mongols had never been so wolf when they went on an expedition! Please give the king an order immediately, let me rush up with Naman's son and slash for a while, so as to teach Sinan Siren a lesson! ”

Without even blinking an eye, Tath waved his hand to shut up the reckless man, and motioned for Moonwater to continue.

In that month, after Hu Ma finished talking about the withdrawal of the castle and the plan of the Song army of the Mongol army. Tath frowned, stood up, thought with his hands around him, and suddenly said, "Yes!" ”

Yueli Huma asked, "May I ask the king, which one is allowed?" ”

"It's all allowed!" Tath said decisively: "You go to Xiangyang again immediately, explain to Zhao Kui, send the goods immediately, and then from tomorrow Meng Hui and I will retreat separately." ”

There was indignation on everyone's faces, not to mention Zhang Rou and other Han generals who were eager to establish their careers, even the generals of the Mongolian headquarters also felt that the hard work of the southern expedition finally gained so little, which really damaged the face of the Mongolian men.

But on the contrary, when the city heard that the Mongol army had accepted a condition and was ready to retreat immediately, the city of Xiangyang was full of joy. No matter how to motivate morale, the vast majority of the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty were not brave and ruthless bandits who made a living by looting, but ordinary people who longed for a peaceful life. If this paper peace treaty can stop the sword soldiers and return Jinghu to peace, even if it is only for a year, it will be a thing enough to celebrate.

After the report was made in the month, the city gate was opened, and hundreds of guards held high the guard of honor and hugged Zheng Yunming and Zhao Kui out of the city.

Along with them went out of the city some gold and silver utensils and silk and grain that had already been prepared. Zhao Kui smiled and held the numb hand in the moon, and said kindly: "The peace here is completed, thanks to the reconciliation of the noble envoy in the middle, since then, the noble envoy can be regarded as my friend of the Great Song Dynasty, these items, willing to be one-fifth of the contribution, and as the first payment, and after the Mongolian army withdraws thirty miles, the rest of the contribution will be offered immediately." Of course, the hard work of your envoy will not be in vain. ”

He waved his hand, and immediately a group of people came up carrying treasures, and the moon looked at them suddenly, and there were a pair of gold and silver vases, a pair of gold-inlaid saddles, ten gold-lacquered plates, and countless ayalas.

Of course he knew what that meant. In ancient times, the intermediary of the envoy must accept bribes from the other party, and the envoy generously regarded these gifts as part of the regular income, and did not shy away from it.

In the month, he couldn't help but smile, people are such an animal, he is excited when he sees the color, he is happy to be happy under the big sweat tent, and he has really reaped a lot of benefits over the years.

"The rest of the belongings must be delivered as soon as possible." Now that he has regarded himself as a benefactor of the Song Dynasty, he is not too afraid of Zheng Yunming, who is a myth in the Mongolian army, and said to Zheng Yunming with a pointing attitude: "In addition, please withdraw the soldiers and horses of the fortress as soon as possible, and let Meng Heng Nayan withdraw his troops, and only after ensuring safety, our army will consider withdrawing troops." ”

Zheng Yunming promised again and again, and sent the moon for Meng Heng for a ride, and then turned back to the city.

When he returned to the study of the envoy of the system, here and several key officials of Xiangyang were gathered, waiting for the return of the biggest planner of the entire peace conference.

When Zheng Yunming stepped into the room, Bai Yijie was standing in front of the military map, carefully explaining the general strategy of his next move.

"The key to the whole plan lies in whether the Jinghu Navy under Meng Hui is effective enough." Bai Yijie pointed to the area around the Ghost Gate Pass with a feather fan and talked eloquently: "On the 6 grounds, whether in combat effectiveness or mobility, it is difficult for our army to compete with the Mongolian iron cavalry, but on the water, whether it is mobility or combat effectiveness, our army has an absolute advantage, so the battle must revolve around the water battle." ”

"Meng Shuai has 700 warships under his command, which can carry at least 20,000 people for mobile combat. Tomorrow the two armies will retreat thirty miles each, and then the naval warships will hurry back at night, and make a surprise attack on the Mongol army while they are crossing the river, and strive to intercept the enemy's army and horses and annihilate one of them. ”

This is the most critical step in the whole campaign, which is related to the safety of Xiangyang, if the naval army fails to intercept, Xiangyang will inevitably attract the crazy revenge of the Mongol army. Taking a step back, even if the interception is partially successful and the Mongol army is returned with all its divisions, it will not be able to deter the enemy in one fell swoop, and the strategic goal of the enemy army will not dare to face Xiangyang squarely within three years. Now that the news outside the city is blocked, the detailed plan for the operation of the naval army cannot be discussed with Meng Shuai, and can only hope that the pre-war training is well-trained and Meng Shuai's experience in commanding the naval army. ”
