Chapter 115: Divergence (Subscription Requested)
Above the main hall, Zhao Huan was in a good state of mind at the moment, at least now, it seems that this young emperor looks much better than when the Jin people attacked the city before. Under the www.biquge.info of the court, all the ministers are in their own positions. After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he asked the ministers to express his position, only to see Cai Jing shake his body, stand up first, and wait to be the first leader of the privy envoy central province, when he is a product, he didn't speak first, I am afraid that others will not dare to say, I saw Cai Jing said: "Saint, now there are more than 100,000 Qinwang armies from all walks of life, all of them are coming to Bianliang City, and there are other armies from all walks of life, and the Jin people are afraid that they have no intention of attacking Bianliang anymore at this moment." The old minister thought that he could negotiate peace with the Jin people. ”
Wu Min, who was dressed in a crane brocade official robe, also stood up and said: "Weichen also thinks that what Master Cai said is reasonable, now the Jin people no longer dare to attack the city, my Song soldiers are strong and strong, and the Jin people are fighting in a foreign land, this is a good time to negotiate peace." ”
Suddenly, Li Gang flashed and said: "Two adults, it's too early to negotiate peace at this moment, the Jin people are insatiable, and now their grain and grass can still support a while, if they negotiate peace at this moment, do you think the Jin people will negotiate peace well?" There will definitely be a big mouth for the lion, and what the golden man wants when the time comes, you will not give it?? ”
"Oh? Then what are Master Li's plans, but the old man wants to hear about it! Cai Jing said lightly.
"Drag!!" Li Gang said, "The so-called art of war has clouds, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight, the current situation is beneficial to our Great Song Dynasty, and the Jin people are unfavorable, so let the Jin people stay outside Bianliang City, consume them, drag them to no grain and grass, no morale, when the time comes, whether to fight or talk, it is not all up to us to decide, not to mention, the commander of the Jin people was seriously injured in front of the formation, and the Jin people at this moment did not dare to make any changes." Weichen thought that he should be surrounded by three armies to prevent the Jin people from suddenly escaping and looting other state capitals, and slowly try to make the Jin people chaotic without a fight. ”
Liu Ping, who Li Gang said, also felt very reasonable in his heart, and said in his heart, the prime minister he took refuge in was really an understanding person, and all the princes in the court thought of letting the Jin people retreat first, and now, the big funeral side has a slight advantage, that is, they all moved the idea of peace, whether it is compensation or land cutting, or whatever, anyway, it is okay to let the Jin people retreat as soon as possible. Li Gang's method is the best, as long as it can be dragged on, the Jin people will naturally be able to collapse without a fight.
"Humph! What is this, is this your Li Gang's method? You don't want to think about it, if so, these Jin people will be tied up and killed, if these Jin people forcibly march and capture other state capitals, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses, and although the Jin people are brutal, but what they want is just some wealth, worship some of them, and when these Jin people are gone, in the future, I will organize an army in the Great Song Dynasty and destroy the nest of the Jin people, wouldn't it be better! Wu Min said.
"It would be best if peace could be negotiated, but in the current situation, wouldn't it make the Jin people underestimate my Great Song Dynasty!?" Minister Sun Fu stood up and said.
"Lord Sun! Do you know how many military horses there are in the outer city of Bianliang today? Counting the garrison military horses from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are already nearly 200,000 troops, these 200,000 soldiers eat horses and chew all for money and grain, and the grain in Bianliang is also enough for the people in the city for two months, and the new grain is still in the granaries of various state capitals, and there are more than 400 military states in the Great Song Dynasty. The grain and grass transported through the grain roads of waterways and dry roads will take a month at the earliest, so how can there be time to delay?! Are you the hundreds of thousands of troops of Bianliang of the Great Song Dynasty who consume all the grain and grass every day in vain?! Wu Min said angrily.
"If you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, if you don't believe what Lord Wu said, you don't believe what my Dongfu privy said, you can go to the granaries in various places in Bianliang to check, most of the new millet and old rice have been allocated to the armies of all walks of life, and the people in the city are not enough to eat. Hmph, in the past, a bucket of rice was only three or five hundred Wen, and since the siege of the city by the Jin people, the armies from all walks of life have come, but in a few days, the price of rice in the city has soared, and it has risen to the price of Dou Mi Qianwen. Does Your Majesty want to watch the millions of people in Bianliang starve everywhere? Cai Jing said with a serious face.
"This..." Zhao Huan was on the dragon chair, and when he heard Cai Jing's words, he panicked in his heart, such a big hat was buttoned down, and no one dared to say anything. If this is the case, then haven't I really become a sinner for the ages? Looking at the several ministers who were arguing, he had to turn his eyes to the side of the generals and said, "Where is the way of the planter?" ”
"Minister, the seed master is here!" At this time, the seed master Dao was wearing the semi-armor of the army, the so-called half armor, but it was only when he was not on the battlefield in peacetime, just the clothes of the generals, the seed master Dao is now a veteran who is more than seventy years old, and he was also a leader among the generals in the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Old general, I know that you are the leader of the Western Army, and this time you are the commander of the army, I ask you, what is your best plan for the current situation?" Zhao Huan said.
"Back to my emperor, the old minister thinks that the Jin people who besieged Bianliang are weak, and they can no longer fight with our royal divisions, if it is according to what Lord Li said, drag it out, and it is not a good thing to be able to surrender the soldiers without a fight, but Your Majesty, Gu Laochen knows, the Jin people entered the Kou this time, not a single one-time people, and there are also people and horses led by the fourth prince of the Jin people, Wanyan Zongbi, there are more than 30,000 Jinmen, the original people and horses are the remnants of the Jurchen West Road army, but the West Route Army has been disrupted in Taiyuan, and the commander Wan Yan Zonghan has died, This group of remnants of the army was attached to Wanyan Zongbi, who was also a good fighter. Captain Liu's Huanqing Army also suffered a big loss. "The planter said.
"Ah~~Oh~~ What the old general said is true? And... There are people all the way?? Zhao Huan was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"It's true, Captain Liu's Huanqing Army fought against that force." The old way.
"Liu Yanqing, what the Planter Dao said?" Zhao Huan asked.
Liu Yanqing, who was on the side, heard the seed master say himself, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, what the old general said is true, the minister brought the Huanqing army to Qinwang, and it was a fight with the men and horses of Yan Zongbi, and the ministers and the generals of the Huanqing army fought for a long time, and they did not retreat, and finally forced the golden people to retreat. The crisis of Bianliang is incomprehensible, Weichen's heart is like a big stone pressing his heart, for fear that it will be too late to save the driver, the minister is loyal to the official family, and he also hopes that the saint will be Mingjian!! ”
The old and small races who know the truth naturally won't say that Liu Yanqing's Huanqing Army was beaten by others, if it weren't for their own army arriving in time and blocking it for him, I'm afraid that the entire Huanqing Army would be wiped out, Rao is so, and the entire Huanqing Army is also killed and wounded and fled nearly half. His own family Ma also fought with Yan Zongbi for several days before he was able to get out, and when he heard Liu Yanqing trumpeting and whitewashing his own defeats, he was embarrassed to poke it, so he had to pinch his nose and ignore him.
In fact, even Zhao Huan knew that Liu Yanqing's Huanqing army did not win a big victory, but at this moment it was the time to gather people's hearts, and he couldn't be too harsh on these generals, so he suppressed this matter, and at this moment, he heard that Liu Yanqing was preaching that he had repelled the Jin people, but it made Zhao Huan feel sad for Liu Yanqing, this lie was simply not even blinking.
"Okay, General Liu Yanqing Liu, there is no need to say more, I just asked." Zhao Huan said coldly.
Liu Yanqing immediately stopped his mouth and didn't dare to say any more.
Zhao Huan then asked the old general: "What is the plan of the old general?" ”
The old man was dressed and saluted Zhao Huan and said: "The official family is Mingjian, the old minister seconded Lord Cai's opinion, it is advisable to talk to Jin He as soon as possible and let him withdraw from the army. ”
"This..." Zhao Huan fell into deep thought, looked at the ministers under the court, and said for a while: "Then according to what Cai Qing's family said, let's negotiate peace." ”
"Your Majesty!!" Li Gang wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Zhao Huan.
"Lord Cai, have you ever negotiated a peace plan??? Zhao Huan said.
"Reporting to the saint, the old minister knew that it was not too late to negotiate peace with the Jin people, so he sent people to the Jin people early. Counsel and make peace. Cai Jingdao.
"Oh? Who was sent? Zhao Huan said.
"Your Majesty, the person sent by the minister is Yuwen Xuzhong. This person is quite bold, and he will definitely be able to negotiate with Jinying. Cai Jingdao.
"Oh... Cai is really like a god, and he can actually know in advance what I want to negotiate peace, which is really commendable. Zhao Huan smiled, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
"Since this is the case, then let's negotiate peace with the Jin people as soon as possible, so as to save a lot of dreams at night." Zhao Huan said.
"No!" Everyone said.
"Well, let's do it today, the charter of this peace conference should be handled in this way, and it will be handed over to Lord Cai and Li Gang to handle." Zhao Huan said.
"Your Majesty is wise!!" Once again, the courtiers slapped the unnutritious sycophants.
"Okay, let's disperse if it's okay." Zhao Huan said.
At this time, the little eunuch who was waiting for Zhao Huan said in a loud voice: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
"Long live my emperor!! Hooray, hooray! The ministers saluted.
Zhao Huan got up and left, but when he left, Liu Ping, who could be added to the generals, was deeply involved.
Zhao Huan got up and left, walked out, and said to the people beside him: "Inform Li Gang and Liu Ping, let them wait in my imperial study, and say that I want to talk to them privately." ”
"No!" A personal eunuch responded to Zhao Huan.
Liu Ping, who was bored, watched the court meeting disperse, and walked out with Li Gang, but before he could go far, he was stopped by a small eunuch. I saw the little eunuch say: "Li Xiang, General Liu, Your Majesty invites you two to go to the imperial study!" ”
"Obey the order!" Li Gang and Liu Ping saluted one after another.
Liu Ping said secretly, which one is this singing? Feeling his rumbling belly, he secretly said to himself, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten yet.
